Who: the Ring-Spirit, various others (maybe even YOU?)
What: meetups for sparring!
When: throughout May
Where: small forest clearing in town outskirts
Warnings: possibly violence? it's "just sparring", but different folks may value safety vs winning to differing degrees,,

[ The Ring-Spirit has been feeling the need to work on his battling capabilities ever since he helped rescue Smoochum back in March... and the disturbing discovery made during Tangela's more recent rescue only made the importance of combat practice more clear.

So! He makes arrangements during the month to meet up with various other pokemon to spar - not on the coast (CERTAINLY not after hearing out Tangela), nor too deep into the forest, but just outside of town enough that they won't have to worry too much about the uninvolved getting caught in the crossfire. ]


[A] - Meeting as Arranged!
[ If you previously agreed (in person or over pearl) to meet with the Ring-Spirit to spar, you'll find him already waiting at the location when you arrive. He perks up on seeing you. ]

You want to stretch or something first, or get right to it?


[B] - Who You??
[ If you're not someone he's expecting to meet up with, but you linger long enough that he starts thinking you're seeking his attention, he'll be a little ruder. He has plans! ]

...Yeah? What do you want?

[Anasui would never do something horrific to someone who didn't deserve it. That said, he has no qualms in following through the words a wise man once said: "Talk shit, get hit."

Espathras are fast. He dashes straight towards RS and stops right before him. Then, with a scowl, he kicks the Mimikyu as hard as he can.]

[improvking]

[ Anasui doesn't have to run far - the Ring-Spirit had closed most of the gap already. The Mimikyu doesn't have a chance to react before the kick connects. The air kicked out of him forms an Astonish on its way out: ]

Motherfuck!

[ Shouted even as he goes flying, the attempted Astonish probably goes very wide of its mark. But hey, he tried.

The Ring-Spirit really does go flying, too. Just zooming through the air very satisfyingly, like a kicked plushie.

It's only a moment later that a dark shadow zips along the ground back into view, the Ring-Spirit utilizing Shadow Sneak to return to the scene - he got kicked far enough that this usage definitely won't connect with Anasui, but it gets the Mimikyu back into fighting distance. ]

[dripdrive]

[He did try. Even if it did hit though, Anasui wouldn't have minded too much, even if it was super-effective. That was so worth it.

Anasui watches RS go flying, smirks and makes a move to leave but pauses when he spies the moving shadow. The smirk fades back into his usual frown.]

Didn't have enough yet? [Anasui asks as leers down at the Mimikyu.]

[improvking]

[ The Ring-Spirit pops back out of his shadow with another Astonish, the one much better aimed and within-range: ]

Wretched brat!

[ ...

RS, Anasui's a little old for that one... ]

[dripdrive]

[Well, we can't blame him. Anasui can be bratty AND relative to RS's age, he is a child.

Anasui tries to move but the Astonish (naturally) catches him off-guard. He winces at the damage - that did far more than he expected- and flinches.]

Hmph. You started it. [As far as Anasui is concerned, that's true. He tries to shake off the flinch quickly, aware RS can easily get another hit on him.]

[improvking]

I did not! [ Said unironcally, as if he's completely unaware of how childish that response is,, ] That was you, with your staring!

[ RS, really....

The Ring-Spirit has used up much of his ability to Shadow Sneak today already - so instead a shadowy claw reaches out and swipes at Anasui in a Scratch attack.

He seems very dedicated to blowing this out of proportion. ]

[dripdrive]

You did so! [Anasui growls back, also completely unaware of how childish he sounds.] Staring isn't a crime! Or is your brain as stuffed as your false head?

[Having flinched, Anasui doesn't have enough time to dodge out of the way. However, he still can retaliate. With a growl, he uses Peck on RS, right on the head.]

If you wanted to fight, just say so next time, bastard. You're really pissing me off.
