#fight thread

Neither John nor Steven were big into fighting. It was understandable, but unfortunate for the likes of Dirk or Jasper. Dirk would never stop fighting. He would throw himself against opponent after opponent until he was certain he could survive them all. He would hone his skills sharper and sharper until no shield could stop his sword. He didn’t know a lot about Jasper (except what he knew of the show, but let’s not dive into meta knowledge) but he knew she was strong, stronger than most, and definitely worth measuring oneself against.

Mount Silver. This place was pristine. The Tohjo Pokemon League had made sure only the best of the best cuold even come here. Leo didn’t technically own any badges, so he may have technically overpowered the guards and forced his way up here, and he may technically be expecting resistance any time now. He wasn't here to disturb the environment or anything - just study it intently to learn more about the Pokemon in his possession, who were definitely not native to Orre's desert, despite a few of them being comfortable there.

Mt. Silver was one of the few places where anyone could find wild Misdreavus, Larvitar, and Sneasel, let alone all in the same place. All of those Pokemon in his possession had evolved by now, but it didn't change the fact that this place would be prime for studying up on their needs and care.

Books were for losers that didn't break rules for the good of their partners. "Whiskey!" An Ultra Ball left his gloved hand, and light exploded out of it - fingers made of almost sinister orange light releasing the Pokemon held inside, which formed and stood confidently. A Weavile, arms crossed, studying its surroundings. Even long after their capture, the effects of the Snag Machine kept that little effect on a Pokemon's ball. Leo was partial to it.

"You from around here, guy?" He asked casually, as if his Weavile could answer him back in words. The Pokemon kept peering and sniffing, as if she was picking up something not-quite-familiar. "Most of you Shadow project Pokemon are from...somewhere else, that's for sure, but Cipher destroyed those records before I could return you to...wherever the hell. Not that I'm abandoning you in the mountains or anything."
