Cloudy Day, Cloudy sight, Start of our might

A Pokemon heard a sound and grunted. This sound hadn't been the normal soft sounds of Pokemon quietly moving about as usual, it was even worse than that. It was the sound of a couple of not-too-quiet Pokemon and their trainer's heavy noisy footsteps. The Pokemon hearing it listening paused. Was it disturbed by the noise? Well, it was pretty loud and had woken him up. Yes, then. It was safe to say he had been disturbed. He didn't like being disturbed. He would just have to go and sort the annoying trainer out himself then, wouldn't he?

Peering out, he could see that the offending trainer had a Ralts and Gastly with them. Out of those, he'd have to fight the Ralts due to typing reasons. It didn't matter that the Ralts probably knew super effective Psychic type moves; he would manage. A furious ball of cream fur sprang from the bushes as the Mankey revealed himself, the famously angry Pokemon starting a very deliberate battle by fixing eyes with Riana the Ralts. His eyes gleamed, two angry pinpoints, boring into his opponent's eyes. This was definately a Leer attack, Mankey hoping to lower the Ralts' defense stat.

Mankey could see Kuro throwing pebbles and things. At first, the monkey assumed this was some sort of trick the trainer was playing; perhaps to weaken him with stones or sneakily draw him into a two-on-one battle. Then he thought more logically, realizing then that this probably wasn't the case. The stones weren't doing any damage, and were just as distracting for him as they were for his opponent. Because of this, Mankey did his best to ignore it. The Confusion attack, on the other hand, looked like another story. That was super effective and would definately Hirt quite a bit, something Mankey was intent on dodging.

Still, the Confusion was fast and accurate, making the Fighting type realise that he probably wouldn't manage the dodge. He didn't, feeling the stabbing pain of the psychic attack pressing in on his mind. Once it was over, he took a moment to recover before attacking Riana back with hisvown move, sending out a thick stream of damaging hearts. This was a Covet attack, and if Riana wasn't holding anything it would still be quite strong and painful.

ooc// Try and stick to past tense, please?

ic// Mankey watched, smiling as Riana was hit by the Covet attack. Good, that was definately a good thing. Every little hit mattered, after all. The monkey was focusing his eyes on the Ralts still, noting that the Psychic type seemed to be using a Will-o-Wisp. Hm, he knew what Will-o-Wisp did; it would Burn him if it hit. That was probably not as bad as Confusion, but of course a Burn would deal a little damage on each turn, so it was probably bad in its own way. The Fighting type tried to dodge, but failed, the flames licking his fur and making him yelp.

An angry red spot which now took some of his energy on his side, the pig monkey's little angry eyes were fixed on Riana. He was taking deep breaths, clearly furious but managing to contain himself so that he could still battle. He then let loose the adrenalin in his attack, racing as fast as he could towards the green topped Pokémon in his next attack; a Scratch. Since it had the boost of the adrenalin, it was stronger and faster than the last attack had been.

Mankey smiled as his second attack hit Riana. Good, things were going well so far, but this was only the second turn of the battle and there was a lot more left to go; Mankey wasn't feeling weak at all yet. The Confusion from the Ralts then struck, and he howled in pain. Yikes! This was the first attack the little Psychic type had used on him, and it was strong! He supposed that was understandable since it was a super effective move on a Fighting type like himself, but all the same he was angry and glared at the trainer and her Umbreon formed dæmon.

Wincing as the Burn dealt damage, he was now even angrier from that. He'd get Riana back for the pain! The monkey snarled, baring his teeth in a threatening way while his eyes glowed, using a Leer attack to lower Riana's defense stat. He then used an offensive attack. Mankey let out a battle cry as he lunged for his opponent, racing forward to Scratch Riana. This might hurt the Ralts, but of course while attacking, Mankey's guard would be down, which could be used to Riana's advantage.
