[center][color=gray][h1]Dawkin Trustram[/h1][/color] [@PlatinumSkink][@Pikmin Eye][@Lasrever][/center] A triple battle? Wasn't that a bit much? Ah well, it was too late now as the other party seemed to have committed to the idea as well. Two of them were overly energetic and the other was overwhelmingly not. It reminded him of the twins messing with Fred when he slept in. Still he wouldn't turn down the one that asked his name, plus he wasn't sure the other girl that joined their team so suddenly knew his either. Though he wasn't quite sure hitting a Pokeball with a shovel was proper Pokemon battle etiquette, now wasn't the time to bring it up. [b]"I'm Dawkin, I hope this battle proves valuable to all of us. Go Aron!"[/b] The second Aron came out of his Pokeball and landed Dawkin followed up with a command, [b]"Aron, use Harden."[/b] Aron spent a moment glancing back at his owner and at his competition before nodding, his eyes flashing with the same steely glint that covered his whole body in response to his body tightening fiercely. Dawkin grinned confidently. He'd gotten lucky. From what he knew of his opponent's Pokemon they didn't have any moves that would be terribly effective against Aron. Combined with Aron's preemptive harden he could slug it out head-head with his opponents and come out victorious. In a more calm voice Dawkin said to his allies, [b]"I can take any of them, pick your opponents as you will."[/b] Technically it was a triple battle, meaning that being limited to one opponent may not be the case, but Dawkin was willing to bet as no one seemed to have much experience with each other that they would battle in a way involving teamwork, if for no other reason than that was the one Dawkin felt. Dawkin's noted his ever so slightly shaking hands and casually slipped them into his pant pockets. Nerves? Surely not. Dawkin was confident he would win, he was a natural after all. Perhaps it was that he had no personal experience in Pokemon battling against competition whose limits he didn't know. No, he must have just not gotten enough to drink. A bold faced lie that Dawkin accepted. He didn't get nerves.
