*ZAP*

*Yep, that's the giant man from a week or so ago, and from the scenery it's obvious he's in Violet City. He's absolutely roaring with laughter from the back of his larger-than-usual Tauros.

And electricity is crackling from his fingertips. Also, does his hair look more spiky and yellow than normal?* Ha! If this world thought to lay me low from disease once again, it was sorely mistaken!

But if fever and illness are what must be endured as a price for these ... capabilities-- *SPARKS. Into the air!* --then so be it!

How fitting for the heir of mighty Zeus himself, would you not agree? Come, friends! Show me the bounty of your newfound power!

[Action; Violet City]

*CAREFUL or you might get run over by a man charging through the streets on the back of a Tauros with thunder crackling from his hands. And yet, he seems to be, in his own way, methodically testing his new capabilities in terms of the materials he's zapping - rarely with enough force to do any harm, though.

He rears his Tauros to a halt, patting its flank affectionately.*

*oh, this is convenient, he'd been keeping an eye out for when you'd arrive, this saves him the trouble of having to figure out where in the city you are*

So, you made it this far.

*oh yeah, and his dark hair is streaked through with a lighter yellow pattern, though if he has other markings it's impossible to see under that leather armor he wears*

*Oh, it's that man. Rider grins at him, wheeling the Tauros around.* Truly! Minos' hooves are fleet indeed!

Did you manage to find anyone for your army yet?

*the electrike at his heels is wary but curious about the newcomer who's apparently another electric type. the staravia, on the other hand, is quite decidedly keeping his distance*

Ahhh, regrettably not. It's understandable, certainly. Few will follow an unproven dream. You must succeed to have success.

*raises an eyebrow at that*

If you put it like that, it makes it sound like hardly anyone could succeed.

Not in the least! Does not every journey start with one step? One small victory brings further greater ones!

The residents of this place see no need for an army, nor do they desire one. I will change that.

Most people here seem to care more about who can raise and battle or compete with their pokémon best than about armies.

Yes, yes. That is the attitude that must be changed. And I will play their game at first to win via conquest. Would you trust your life to a leader who cannot win so much as these simple battles?

Do you need to ask? Though have you tried your hand at them yet?

We battled the tiny beasts on the route to this city. Only two managed to acquit themselves well enough to join my cohort.

But not against another "trainer", I think the term is...

I encountered none on the way. A disappointment, truly.

Hmmmm.... Queen.

*hearing her name, the electrike, who'd been busy greeting the (presumably quite manly) tauros, trots back over to stand by Geddoe's side*

That isn't hard to fix.

*You and your tiny thing get a Look!*

Are you volunteering your comrade then?

You're a general, right? Commanding your partners in battle against another team would be the best way to see what you can do.

Ah, indeed! Very well then. I accept your challenge!

*And he hops off the Tauros, patting the creature's side proudly. It snorts, giving the little Pokemon a look.* How do we begin?

You tell it to attack your opponent's team, just like battling the wild ones. But you'll be up against another person who can likewise command and strategize.

*the electrike simply waits, ready to battle- she may be small, but she's had nearly a month to train, and she trusts her partner's judgment*

I see, I see... *And he steps back. For a long moment, he seems to be assessing this strange creature and her master, taking in the environment around them. It's a fairly narrow street, and he can use that to his advantage.* Then I suppose the first move shall be mine.

*He thrusts his arm out in a dramatic sweep.* Charge, swift Minos! Bear me to victory upon your horns!

*And with a bellowing roar, the Tauros lowers its head and charges.*

*the electrike tenses for action, but neither she nor her trainer lose their cool at the sight of the charging bull*

Queen, use Thunder Wave.

*with that she leaps forward with a cry, letting loose a paralyzing wave of electricity at her opponent*

Minos, evade as best you can! *And the bull tries, angling to the side, but it's going too fast to change direction quickly and the street is too small for it to dodge; the electricity hits and the bull's speed slows dramatically. It's still moving towards the littler Pokemon, just at a markedly reduced speed.*

Hm... then they can do even something like this? Remarkable...! *After a moment's thought, he raises his voice again.* Close the gap as best as you can! Overpower your foe with your Rage!

*And now that the bull is getting close, even moving at its slow speed, it snorts loudly - and lunges with its full body weight. Granted, its movement is a fraction of how quickly it had been - but it's still big, and the battlefield narrow.*

Queen, stand your ground and use Leer.

*with that the electrike braces herself against the attack, while giving the tauros an intimidating look meant to lower its guard*

Ha! While it's standing still, press the attack horizontally! Let your Rage build! *And indeed, the Tauros lowers its head, sweeping its horns to the side with a bellow.*

Just roll with the attack and keep it up a little longer.

*the electrike does as it's instructed, making an effort to minimize damage while keeping up with another Leer attack*

Continue! Use the force of your fury to knock it off its feet!

*And the Tauros roars, charging its smaller foe to try and do just that, every successive attack stronger than the one before it.* I see your ploy, one-eye. You mean to weaken my companion and defeat it in a single blow!

It won't work.

*shrug*

There's other uses for it. Rage only becomes more powerful if the one using it is hit by an attack, you know.

Queen, use Howl.

*and the electrike lets out a howl, boosting its own attack power*
