Hulda was used to wait in the weirdest places for the longest time, so Dagrun didn't move an inch in the time the poochyena attempted and failed in grooming itself. Instead she looked at it expectantly when it gave up and looked at her again. Its action hadn't shoved to her at all what it was it wanted and a part of her wondered if it had been sent to spy on her, and now it tried to act innocent. In that case she would expect it to hesitate and then casually walk off, only to follow her out of sight. Its barking caught her off guard and she glanced around quickly to see if there were any movement which the poochyena could have warned but didn't see any. Dagrun frowned as the pup ran in a circle before looking hopefully at her, what was it wanted? "I don't know what you want but if you are staying you are going to get a battle, do you understand?" Dagrun asked the pup and since it didn't run away she let out Orth.
Dagrun cleared her throat and exhaled to get fully into her other persona. "Orth, I think this sweet little dog would like some playtime, doesn't that sound fun?" Dagrun said cheerfully and the machop grinned. Dagrun could see the calculated look in his eyes but pretended not to see as Dagrun was supposed to be inexperienced and an semi unruly pokemon could help her maintain that look. Dagrun scratched her head as she thought of what to do next, should she order an attack and if so which one? Or would the play more be the pokemon just chasing each other around? As she had hoped the wait made Orth take things into his own hands.
The machop took a step forward and put his hands on his hips with a wide grin on his face. "So you wanna play? Do you have what it takes? Are you sure?" Orth called out in an attempt to goat the poochyena to attack, it wasn't mocking sounding, just playful. Orth would be ready with a Karate Chop, the moment the pup got in too close.

The Poochyena whimpered a bit, pretending to be sad about the trainer talking to it. Orth sounded very excited from getting to battle with the Poochyena. The canine Pokemon let out a Howl, declaring its interest in the battle. Some of the nearby Taillow were startled and flew away from their resting place, but upon realizing its just the Poochyena, they flew back to their own spot. Orth originally was waiting for the Poochyena to come close, but it just seemed to pump itself up for whatever next it would do. Sprinting forward in a straight line, the fighting Pokemon charged forward and executed a karate chop right on the Poochyena's spine. The dark Pokemon was visibly in pain from just the first hit, and it fell to its knees, whimpering. It was struggling to stand still now, and its eyes were visibly fighting to stay conscious. It still got some stamina, but the Pokemon likely won't last another hit. This wasn't the play time that the dog was thinking of getting.

Dagrun frowned as the poochyena's whimpering only made her more confused, it wanted her not to attack it but stayed around? It hadn't looked at all like it had been in the need of help, it made no sense to her and she had no use for it. She had warned it about the consequences and now it had to take them, as it hadn't grabbed the way out she had offered it. She wondered if she should develop a trading aspect to her persona, since she met a lot of pokemon on her travels and it would be a great way to get to talk with a lot of people. It would be weird though, if a new and rather inexperienced trainer like she was supposed to look like, began doing that already and she hadn't met many pokemon she thought would be of much interest to others. Poochyena was one of the more popular ones but Dagrun was certain she could find some later if she needed it, right now she didn't and this one especially didn't interest her at all. It was useful for training against at least and it should give Orth any problems.
The machop certainly looked forward to the match but his attempts to get it to attack him hadn't work at all. It didn't answer him at all but instead howled loudly scaring the birds in the nearby trees. Orth jumped by the sounds of wings and glanced quickly in the direction of the taillows, had the poochyena called for help now? Orth rushed forward and slammed his hand down on the dog, making it yelp in pain. Better get this one done quickly should the other be on their way to help out!
"Oh dear! Be gentle Orth!" Dagrun called out and could almost see the roll of the eyes Orth made, as he lifted his hand to slam it down on the pup again.

Thinking of taking a trader persona as her civilian disguise, Dagrun had thought about capturing this Poochyena, just briefly. However, upon examining that this Poochyena had nothing unique about it, and this species was as ubiquitous as they go in the area, she had rescinded that idea. Fearing that the Poochyena was calling for help, Ortho went again for a Karate Chop. This time, the strong blow knocked the wind out of Poochyena, and it passed out on the ground. The dark type fainted with a soft yap, without much of a struggle to stay conscious, or awake. The fighting type felt that he had learned Something from this quick of a battle, he picked up Poochyena with both hands, and then gently placed it on the ground, as there's no point beating a fainted Poochyena.

"Oh my! I hope it is alright!" Dagrun gasped with pretended worry as Orth knocked out the pup and it sprawled out on the ground. She frowned as he bent to pick it up, what was he up to? "What are you doing Orth? You have won, so don't hurt it, you hear me?" Dagrun said warningly and Orth looked tiredly at her, what did she think he was? Some sort of cruel meat-hacking machine who didn't know how to stop? Dagrun watched as he picked up the fainted poochyena and gently placed it off the road so it was safe until it woke up again. Dagrun instantly wrote him off as a potential ninja member, that was simply too soft and if he tried something like that when out on a mission it could be fatal. "Oh, oh! How thoughtful of you," Dagrun cooed, for her act it would be perfect to show such silly thoughts, the poochyena didn't know the difference of course, it was not concious. "That was really impressive Orth, you are really strong! But you know how to use your strength and it isn't worth anything if you don't know compassion too!" Dagrun blabbered on, and while Orth clearly liked her praise, he looked like he thought she was stupid with the continued talk about showing empathy for others. Dagrun was pleased if he had less respect for her, so she could look like she didn't have full control and was an unskilled trainer.
"You might be strong enough to win over the next gym leader, but we better do some more training to be sure," Dagrun said thoughtfully and Orth looked interested at her, a gym leader sounded strong even though he didn't quite knew what it was. "We still have some way to go, so we can train a bit more to be sure we will succeed, it was a tough battle the last one, and I really would like for this one to end in a win as well," Dagrun chattered on as she lead Orth further down the road on their way towards Petalburg. "I better make sure the others get some training as well, I doubt you can do it on your own," she said cheerfully and pretended not to see the offended expression the machop got, it quickly turned into determination much to her pleasure and she let out Fiera to further strengthen his will to show he was the best. Orth stared at the dimwitted numel, was this what Dagrun thought was supposed to help him in a difficul battle?! He pretty much would be on his own then.

Orth originally was trying to show Dagrun that he could pick up other Pokemon and possibly slam them on the ground with his mind-muscle connection, but that may have backfired in demonstration. Maybe next time, he'll show her how strong he could be. Upon hearing that there would be more training, his determination was continued to be lit up. Although he was disappointed that other Pokemon would need some training too, as he was assuming he would be the one to carry the team. Continuing toward Petalburg City, they came upon a small flower patch, not a field. The flowers were blooming for the season, and wafted an aromatic scent from the gentle breeze. A lone Beautifly was fluttering about, as if it was waiting for some other Pokemon, perhaps on a date. It turned around toward Dagrun, thinking to warm up to ease its nervousness.
A (Level 14) Beautifly fluttered around!

Orth didn't know better, and neither did Fiera. Dagrun wanted to laugh when the numel did a big yawn straight in the face of the machop, and the fighting type stared offended at her. "Best friends already! I'm so glad!" Dagrun said cheerfully and lead them on, pretending not to see the glare that Orth sent her. This fire type was a disgrace in his eyes, and he really didn't want to have to rely on her in any way. They ended up having to travel quite far before encountering something else but that was on purpose as Dagrun "accidently" chased off any wild pokemon they met on their way. She wanted to frustrate him and find he perfect opponent, not for the machop but for the numel.
When they came across the flower patch with the beautifly Dagrun found it perfect. "Oh! How pretty! I'd love to catch that one!" She exclaimed and Orth eagerly jumped forward ready for battle. "Oh no no no! That is too dangerous for you Orth, see it is half flying type!" Dagrun said as she hurried forward and stepped in the way. Orth stared at her like she was crazy, did she think that fragile looking thing was dangerous to him?! "Come on Fiera, this you can handle but don't knock it out!" Dagrun said cheerfully to the numel, who had laid down and didn't look like she was ready for any battle. Orth huffed and crossed his arms. "Come on Fiera, I know you can do it!" Dagrun said and gestured to the numel, who just stared into the nothingness. Dagrun went to her side and nudge her with a foot. "Come on Fiera! You are supposed to battle!" she urged and earned an annoying glance from the pokemon, Orth huffed again. Dagrun was determined though and in the end Fiera got annoyed enough from the nagging that she got on her feet and trotted towards the beautifly. If she ended the battle quickly she might be left alone again. "Alright, let's be tactical here! Lure it down with a growl and then use magnitude!" Dagrun ordered but Fiera didn't have patience to wait for that. She simply shot some fires at the butterfly and hoped it would be enough.

While Ortho crossed his arms and huffed at the instruction to not fight a fragile looking flying Pokemon, Fiera was too laid back to conserve her energy from moving too much. She assessed the situation and decided that, a Pokemon floating on top of a bunch of flowers would probably be something weak to her moves. Before she could make a move, the Beautifly flapped its wings powerfully, creating a small tornado of wind, whirling the flowers around. Unlike typical movies though, these petals were held strongly by the branches, and only a few petals were loosened by the wind. The swirling wind went straigh toward Fiera, whose sluggishness was unfazed by the attack. Then, when the wind settled, she inhaled and created some flames to launch toward the bug type. The fire hit right on, and spread some specks toward the ground, which surprisingly fizzled out and didn't burn the entire ground. The Beautifly was deeply hurt from this attack, but struggled on to stay afloat.

"Fiera!" Dagrun gasped as the numel didn't do as ordered, which was actually pretty good since her own orders would have been really ineffective. Surprisingly the beautifly still staying airborne after the attack although it clearly struggled. "Don't burn the flowers please!" She said concerned to her numel, and she briefly wondered why they took so little damage from the embers that fell on the surroundings of the attack. It had to be really damp here and the flowers full of water for them to not catch fire easily. Dagrun knew that the magnitude would be ineffective against a part flying type as the one they were up against, but Fiera wasn't going to let her "learn" that today. Instead she frowned and looked worried at the flowers. "Of course they might be damaged by the magnitude as well," she said and then groaned, "what would be best to do?" Orth huffed, he thought she should just switch him back and let him handle it, he should do his best to avoid stomping on the flowers but he wouldn't promise anything since the battle was more important than some pretty plants.
Fiera wasn't going to wait, a rare sharpness had appeared in her eyes as she was getting fired up for battle. How dared the bug stay afloat after her fires and keep her in battle? Order or not from Dagrun, it was time to move, she spew some more flames of the same kind as last at the butterfly and hopefully that would be it so she could go back to her lazy old self.

The Beautifly was buzzing in pain, and struggling to stay conscious. Using the last bit of its energy, it flapped its wings to create another Gust toward Fiera. The fire type was not keen on moving out of the way and took the hit right on. The swirling wind rustled the camel Pokemon's furs, and even slapped some loose leaves on the body. Fiera shook her head to wake herself, and then repeated the fire attack toward the opponent. The bug type was burnt and fallen to the ground, unconscious. A pair of Dustox and another Beautifly flew down to tend their fallen friend, having watched the battle in the background. It would be some time until the fallen Beautifly would recharge again.

The flowers waved wildly back and forth as the gust made its way over the field. Fiera stood her ground and stared down her opponent as she waited for it to be too tired to continue, and when it happened she shot out her molten rock which sent the beautifly down for the count. Fiera relaxed and laid down where she was, that had been easy, while the butterfly's friends came darting out and took the risk of retrieving their friend even though they might get attacked themselves. Orth stepped forward raising his fists. Dagrun spotted a few embers in the grass and rushed forward, happening to get in the way of her fighting type as she struggled to put pit the fires. "Oh no! Stop it, I don't want to risk burning it all down just because of a stray ember! I should have known better and not use fire in such green area," Dagrun exclaimed and stomped around in the flowers, on both embers and imaginative embers. Orth tried to get around her, but he was too late and the flying bugs had disappeared. He sent his trainer an annoyed look and then returned to the road with his arms crossed, Dagrun spent some more time stomping on embers to make sure they were gone. She bent down and plusked a charred flower which she took to the dull looking numel. "look what you have done! I told you not to use fire here, do you want to burn down the whole forest?!" Dagrun scolded and waved the flower in front of Fiera's face. The numel didn't even turn an eye to look at either the flower or Dagrun, but stared ahead blankly with a goofy look on her face. Dagrun scolded her a bit more before she recalled her and threw the flower on the ground. Dagrun stomped forward and Orth followed her silently and she let the pretended anger disappear slowly and began to enjoy the walk. It was a pretty area and she smiled when she got the next town in sight. "Orth, look! Petalburg City! This is where we're going to have our next gym battle!" Dagrun said cheerfully and a fire lit in the machop's eyes, he was ready and would win it all if allowed. Dagrun watched the town a bit and then let out Baldrian and looked at the two pokemon. "I do hope we're ready, a bit more training probably wouldn't hurt so let's see what we can find," she decided and looked around. Orth slammed his clenched fist into the palm of his other hand and called out a challenge in the hope of someone hearing. Baldrian smiled reassuringly to Dagrun and waited patiently to see what would come, or if they needed to do something else to find an opponent.

With Petalburg City in the horizon, Dagrun had set her eyes on the next gym battle. Her words had inspired Orth to get ready for a little more training before tackling the next gym head on, or with his fist. Machops can't learn Headbutt. The fighting Pokemon pounded his fist into his palm, creating a loud smack noise. Nothing happened. Not even a wind. Then, Orth smacked his fist into his palm again, and again, creating a startling noise in the area. Out from the blurry leaves hanging up high, a Dustox appeared, a little bit angry for disturbing its sleep. The bug type was normally a noctural type, so the fist pounding disturbed its peaceful slumber. The Dustox was nothing special in particular, but it was ready to fight.
A (Level 16) Dustox appeared!

Orth frowned when he didn't get any reaction of his call for a challenger, he clapped a bit more and called out and then something happened above him which made him jump back. He narrowed his eyes at the angry looking flying moth which dived towards hm, but then he grinned as it looked ready to fight. "Come on! Show me what you got!" He called out and readied his fist.
"Uuh!" Dagrun exclaimed and ducked her head while she ran a bit away, pretending to be surprised by the pokemon appearing from the shadows above. She paused to look back as Orth called excitedly to the dustox. "That's good Orth! Thanks for protecting me!" She called to her machop and smirk when his shoulders showed he felt a bit uncomfortable being praised for something he actually didn't do, but he was quick to shake it off him again. Dagrun looked at the dustox, a bug and poison type was not something Orth could hit very hard on normally, but it was mainly him she wanted to train now he was going to be her ace against the next gym. Orth pulled back his fist. "Wait! Orth!" She called out and he interrupted his attack and jumped to dodge the dustox, he turned to look annoyed at her, ready to fight any decision of him not fighting this opponent he had lured in. "It's flying, hitting won't work that well!" Dagrun said, it wasn't entirely correct but she didn't have the patience for a long battle to let Orth discover it himself, and it was a good excuse to get him to use some other move. "Don't you have that electric punch? Try use that one, those should be really good against flying pokemon!" She explained and Orth looked surprised at her, and a little bit impressed. It was also good he would pay her a bit attention once in a while when she needed it.
He turned towards the dustox with electricity jumping from his closed fist, "you ready? You don't know what you are in for or who you are up against!" He taunted the flying bug, and would try hit it with his thunder punch several times. He expecting it to go down after his first attack though.

Dagrun continued her disguise as a naive Pokemon trainer who started late. She thanked Orth for stopping the Dustox from physically hitting her. Assessing the opponent's typing, Dagrun halted Orth's eagerness to strike the opponent, and gave a brief explanation to use a different type of attack. Stopping to hear his master's command, the Machop was briefly lifted in the air by the Dustox's psychic attack, only for the fighting type to be dropped mid-air, landing on himself. Orth got agitated by this, but listening to his trainer's command, charged up electricity on his fist while the Dustox mentally recovered from the Confusion attack. The Thunder Punch hit, but the Dustox flew backward to prepare its next attack. Coming from the battle with Beautifly previously, the Dustox also performed a Gust attack, slapping its wings hard to create a swirl of wind, making Orth lose his foothold on the ground and smacked onto a tree. Orth wasn't having this, and he held onto a branch from the tree where he dove down toward the Dustox with another Thunder Punch. The chance of paralysis is small from this attack, but at least he did more damage than he would have done with a fighting type move.
