[Charles Xaqairy]

Although Charles was a bit sad that Rox got knocked out in two hits, but it meant that Nibble would be able to join in the battle, too. "Alright, that's good, Rox... Let's finish this, Nibble!" The Gabite let out a growl.

"Finish them off with a Dragon Pulse." Nibble opens her mouth and fires a red-orange fireball at the near-KO'd Honedge.

Nibble used Dragon Rage.
It's not very effective.

Dagger took the Dragon Pulse and fell to the ground defeated

"well done Dagger. You performed beyond the foreseen boundaries." Arashi stated then recalled his honedge



"Battle Complete, Victory to Challenger." Digit stated

Arashi hummed "well that's it Charles you win. Digit?"

"Downloading Reward." Digit replied

A machine whirled as a Bolt Dorm badge came out of a tube and Digit used Psychic to send it over to Arashi

Arashi came over to Charles "this badge proves your win over the Bolt Dorm because you did manage to defeat my 3 pokemon before my three pokemon defeated yours. Turn this in to the school and you'll get your rewards. However out of personal curiosity, I do have to ask why did you hold your Torkoal back from winning when it could have just as easily used Fire Blast against my Honedge and earned you a sweeping win."

[Charles Xaqairy]

Nibble's attack easily connected, knocking the Sword Pokémon down for the count. The strange Pokémon hovering around the Warden said something about downloading his reward. The machine behind them whirred, procuring a lightning blot-shaped trinket. The Pokémon glowed slightly as the trinket floated over to Charles.

The Warden approached him and congratulated him. Charles was just about to thank him, turn, and leave when he was asked why Charles didn't have Torkoal use another Fire Blast.

"Honestly? It was too much fun. If Cole had ended it right there, I'm not sure either of us would have enjoyed that ending nearly as much. It just seemed too boring to one-shot two opponents in a row, even if Cole could barely attack.

"I was actually planning on Rox ending it, but I forgot that Iron Head was twice as strong against him. I settled for giving Honedge a parting gift, if you will. In my place, how would you have done it?"

[Arashi Satou]

Arashi hummed "honest truth, I would have just gone for the most effective attack and just ended things instead of prolonging the battle. It's not that I don't find battles entertaining it's just I don't find the point of obviously going easy on an opponent and leaving them an opening and stating that it's an opening. It's illogical and very disrespectful in my book. If you're gonna go easy on someone don't make it obvious or state that you will make it open. I noted that your Torkoal recoiled in surprise and I'm sure it's gonna be affected by the command you told it to do because I'm sure it didn't like my Honedge slamming into him and him only giving half effort when it knew you knew that it had more fire power then what you told him to use. It may lose trust in your commands but I don't know what your bond with your pokemon is like so I can't really say that it will but I know that if I gave a command to my pokemon that end up make them purposely lose. They may wonder if I've lost it." He hummed "well I must say you got some rather tough pokemon but you may have to watch out for the Wave Dorm all three of your pokemon you used today are really weak to those elements especially water and ice the more badges you have the higher the tier goes but I'm sure you can design teams that can handle those types of pokemon"
