[Video/Action]

[A sudden bright light and when it faded away Eagle found he was no longer on the route he had been traveling on. ]

What?? This is… New Barktown, isn’t it?

[His Pokemon trio wandered around near his feet as if trying to confirm this sudden change had actually happened. But a glance at the tiny City was enough to confirm the truth.]

How were we able to teleport here? Are the Abra able to do something like this…?

[But, it was even better than that! He looked down and suddenly realized that there was a diminutive rounded machine sitting on the back of his gloved hand. With a cocky smile he added triumphantly. ]

My weapon is back as well!

I am from a family of the Queen's knights Commander. It would be a poor showing if I were unable to use a blade properly.

[Is quite proud of this.]

That is regrettable. I doubt that our captures will along us to maintain our weapons forever.

[And now for a bit of flippant cheek. ]

We could always find a couple of sticks and have a match.

[Video] 1/2

[And now for a note of displeasure. You and your levity Eagle]

...

[This opportunity is too great to pass up..]

Wait there.

[This duel shall not be with sticks. She draws out her pokeball and tosses that puppy. Lights flash and she's soon seated astride her Ponyta.]

Adeline, to New Bark Town.

[The Ponyta whinnies a little upon it's arrival then heads off toward the road]

Let it never be said that a Middleford backed down from a challenge.

@_@ THAT ICON! LOL!

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Would you really be able to make it back here in time?

[It was doubtful… but still. He shouldn’t have been able to make it here so fast either. ]

I love it XD

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

Since none of us are aware how long this will last.. [pauses while Adeline hops over a ledge] I cannot say with any certainty whether I will be tardy or not.

It is adorable.

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Just be careful that you don’t go so fast that you end up getting injured.

[Jumping from a ledge on a Pokemon… He has reservations about things like that. ]

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

This isn't my first time on a horse either.. [Lol might have sounded a touch offended there]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

A hor…se…?

[But to horse newbies that looks intimidating! ]

A friend of mine can ride a spirit animal that looks like of like that, but I have never been around animals large enough to be ridden before.

[Tech dependant. ]

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

[Oh dear. She hadn't fathomed that this man was knew to the concept of riding on animals. He really seemed perplexed by it]

A horse. Like Adeline here, although she is more the size of a pony.

Now it is my turn to be vexed. What is a spirit animal?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

A magical summoned creature who can fly… It looks a lot like Adeline there only taller and entirely black.

[What? Magic is normal isn’t it?]

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a magnificent creature.

[She likes horses 8|. Magic is the unusual bit. The Marchioness is making could time but it's doubtful that it will be enough]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

He is… [Oh um… *cough*] It Is! If you like animals I’m sure you would be impressed.

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

[She wasn't suspicious in the slightest... at first. Fortunately for Eagle the big flash of light is more pressing. Adeline whinnies and rears a bit having been spooked. The Marchioness manages to hold on fast to the reins and use just the right about of leg pressure to remain seated... however they both become too obscured by the light to see any longer]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Eagle has to look away from the device as the bright light becomes too much to look at even over a view screen like this.
Why were there so many bright lights… ?! ]

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

[When the Video returns... it's not necessary. She's standing in front of Eagle, glowering down at him]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Wha… AH! How did you get so close so suddenly!! ]


Do you know some kind of transportation magic?

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

[You've got me. Swinging one leg over the ponyta, she deftly lowered herself to the ground.]

Don't be foolish, I'm not aware of any such thing.

This must have been the same thing that brought you here?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose that is it. I did see a bright light the two times I ended up in this time.

[~Smiles at~
Waiting for the lady to get her bearings before even thinking about the weapon on his hand. Though he does almost unconsciously slip into a ‘ready‘ stance. ]

So, you were serious about taking up my challenge after all.

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

Such a peculiar method of travel..

[Holds her sword aloft into a starting position as well]

Indeed I was. What good would my words be if I didn't follow them up with my actions?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Such a cocky smile he has. ]

I had thought you might change your mind once you arrived. I have no intention of going easy of you.

[The laser sword suddenly appears as Eagle wills it to. But instead of attacking right off he waits just to make sure she is ready. This was supposed to be a friendly competition after all! ]

Are there any rules?

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

Nor I you. [Cocky smile returned. Frances was quite confident in her abilities.]

[Her eyes bore the traces of surprise when Eagle summoned his . light sword? Indeed there was nothing like that in her time further corroborating his earlier story of being from a different world.]

That-- is quite the weapon you have in your possession. [Which did not mean Eagle had the skills to match the implement.]

I'll keep it simple. Just our blades will be used. The match does not end until a contender has either been disarmed completely, tagged three times, or has become too injured to continue. The point of this match, naturally, is not to slay the other. Do you agree to these terms?

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[A smile. ]

That sounds like a rougher style of combat than I was expecting from a lady.

But, I agree. I will only use the one weapon… and no tricks.
[Basically agreeing not to use any of the device’s other features beyond that of the laser sword itself. It wouldn’t really be fair anyway since the lady only had the one weapon. ]

I think we should also take a moment to ask our Pokemon not to interfere. A distraction like that in the middle of our friendly match wouldn’t be any good.

[Saying this he does indeed take a minute to instruct the little Pokemon creatures with him not to get involved. Which… who knows if they will really listen, but he did try to make sure this battle remained fair. ]

[abovetemptation.livejournal.com]

You should never underestimate your opponent, Commander Vision.

Very well then it's decided. No tricks.
[Isn't aware of the other features but still found the clarification to only use the blades had to be made just in case. Although if she did know about them-- she would have been tempted to take on the challenge]

Agreed. [She says Adeline's name before returning her to the pokeball for safekeeping. Then she gives the proper orders to the Pokeball]

I do hope your Pokemon are disciplined enough to mind their owner, if not I will be forced to summon my own.

[It may not have been outwardly apparent but she was delighted at the chance to engage what she does best]

[unyieldingwill.livejournal.com]

[Disciplined enough…. That made it sound like he was a bad trainer if they didn’t listen.

*sweat drop*

Maybe, encouraging the Pokemon to run off and play some where would be a better idea. Go on, shoo, shoo, it will be fine.
Once those guys have been encouraged to scamper off he readdress the subject of this battle, falling back int a ready battle stance and waiting for the lady to do the same.]

When ever you are ready then.

[Lady’s first. ]
