Devon's response came as little surprise to him. He would have done the same thing. Devon reminded him of the days he traveled Viore on his Gym Battle Journey. He'd learned much since then. He fought against his own strategies, making sure he could prepare for just about any scenario. And Devon might have made a fatal flaw. [color=0072bc]"Your luck just ran out, Devon. You're in OUR territory now. Take control, Noivern, Steel Wing once you find the weak spot!"[/color] Brooks yelled, the dragon not even bothering to nod in reply. He was focused completely on the task at hand now.

[color=662d91]<Weak Spot... where would that be... That's it!>[/color] Noivern said to himself as he scanned his opponent, taking a look at the already damaged tail of the Marill. He locked onto his target, his wings glowing bright as Noivern suddenly made a beeline for his opponent. Moving downwards, Noivern showed great control of its movement as it nearly went head to head with the incoming Aqua Jet, missing it by mere inches and turning to where the Steel Wing made direct contact with Cyan's tail. Continuing downward, Noivern quickly pulled up as it neared the battered ground and returned to a stable position near Brooks to survey the result of its attack.

[color=0072bc]"Don't relax yet, it's not over till the Snorlax sings..."[/color] Said Brooks, who was suddenly distracted by a sudden vibration in his pocket as a dim light shown through. [color=0072bc]"Crap, hang on a second..."[/color] He said as he looked at Devon, most likely planning his next move. [color=0072bc]"What is it? I'm in the middle of something..."[/color] He said. [color=0072bc]"... Yeah, I saw the news this morning..."[/color] He spoke again, slowly quieting his voice. [color=0072bc]"... Look, I'll be there as soon as I can. Okay... okay, bye."[/color] He said, hanging up his Pokegear.

[color=0072bc]"Alright, sorry about that. Noivern, no more holding back. We've gotta wrap this up."[/color] He said with a sternness he hadn't displayed before. At those words, Noivern's eyes seemingly lit up, signaling it was ready to battle at full strength if need be. [color=662d91]<Cyan, was it? Sorry, kid, but it's time to end this.>[/color] He said.
