Indigo and Margo were waiting for Dan. "Hey dude, what's up? How was your day?" Indy started off. It was best to be casual at first, he thought, and then after everyone got comfortable, they could segue into what was bothering Dan. Hopefully.

@Balthazar007 btw balth what does the gym look like? I'd like to give it proper justice in my post! And is the terrain like just a normal battlefield or is covered with trees?
I can do that! But it'll have to be after the collab post
@TheForgottenArc you can go ahead and post. Indy and Margo will likely find Dan after they finish talking or something like that! He could have his gym battle or do some personal reflection. You don't necessarily have to wait :)

Sorry that took so long! Just had to get the battle out. They're definitely gonna talk to dan, but it'll be in @iKatamalicious post.
Indigo raised his brows. Sure, Margo had been harping on battling him and teaching him a lesson, but he hadn't thought she would do it now. They had just arrived to Shamba! Wasn't she tired? He certainly was, after all that traveling. Nonetheless, he couldn't outright deny her battle. If it was going to get them on the same terms again, if Margo wanted to see whether she could beat him, or whatever it was, the more he thought about it, the more he was surprised to find that he wanted to show how much he had grown.
"Mighty Margo," he dragged out sarcastically, "whatever, you got it. I'm not in the mood for a full battle though. So let's just stick to a one on one." And he knew what pokemon he wanted to use. Hawka, so close to evolving, he thought. She needed that extra push, didn't she?
Margo gave a fake laugh, bringing a dainty hand to her mouth. "If you don't want to lose to a full match at both our potential, I suppose." The teenager glanced Dan's way as he left sulkily. She wasn't sure what his problem was, but he seemed to be acting strange ever since their museum encounter. At this point, she was surprised that Indy didn't really seem to know what was wrong either, based on his parting call.
Indigo truly didn't know how to react to Dan's exhausted response. He'd been acting strange on the boat ride and for most of their vacation in Kanto, and though Indy knew he needed to check up on Dan, he owed Margo his promise. At least their battle would be quick, Indigo thought.
"I'll catch up with you in a bit, Dan. Get some rest." He turned his attention back to Margo. "Hey, give me a minute, alright? I need to give my pokemon a pep talk. I'll meet you out in like, fifteen minutes or something."
With a bubbling Hawka ready to battle, Indigo faced Margo on the field. "I'm using Hawka."
"Alright, well I will be using Crowne." The teenager smiled at Indy, a slight tinge of pity tainting her expression. She hoped she would be able to win, even if the type advantage wasn't so tipped in her favor.
A water type, Indy narrowed his eyes. They were at a disadvantage. Still, perhaps, with a little luck, they could manage.
"Hawka, Fire Spin!" And Hawka let out a whorl of yellow orange flames towards Crowne, who was engulfed. That was good, then, the continuous damage would surely put a dent in the Squirtle's energy.
Crowne didn't seem too phased by the attack however, and let out a series of bubbles, which Hawka shot Embers at. Some of the bubbles, however, did manage to graze her, eliciting a sharp cry of pain.
As the battle went on, both pokemon wore down. The Squirtle had the advantage with his water attacks, but Hawka had agility on her side, which Indy tried to use to his advantage. Soon, however, the pokemon were reduced to ragged breath.
"Crowne, one more Water Gun is all you need!" Margo called out, confident that she could win. Indigo had battled hard, but not hard enough it seemed.
"Hawka!" Indigo shouted. "Watch out! Try and block it with a Fire Spin!"
The Torchic drew in a deep breath, and as Crowne's powerful Water Gun came forth, she let out a rivaling Fire Spin. Her body took on an eerie, white glow.
"Hawka?" Indigo asked, bewildered. As someone who had never seen a pokemon evolution before, he had no idea what he was watching.
The glow enveloped Hawka completely, and as her form began to morph and grow bigger, the bright light faded, revealing a new pokemon in her place. Before Indigo even had time to react, Hawka's newly evolved form let out a war cry and charged for Crowne with a Quick Attack, knocking the turtle back fiercely.
"No way... It happened. It actually happened. Hawka evolved..." Indigo mumbled to himself, clearly dazed. The tables had turned and it seemed that even if Margo had type advantage-- "we're taking this victory, I guess," Indy declared with a self-assured grin on his face. Hawka, from the evolution, seemed completely rejuvenated and in top form. She sent a series of Double Kicks Crowne's way.
"Crowne, no!" Margo cried out. "Hang in there!" Crowne went flying, thudding onto the ground, defeated.
At least, until the Squirtle opened his eyes, staggering to get up, the same white glow they had seen earlier now enveloping him.
"You've gotta be kidding me," Indy breathed, while Hawka let out an indignant squawk of her own. But there was no mistaking it. The Squirtle's once beaten down form turned into a Wartortle, a fierce looking one at that.
"Crowne," Margo said, hushed at first. But she didn't remain dazed for long. With a confident beam of her own, she quipped, "what was that about winning, Indy?"
"Hawka, Quick Attack! It's probably still slow!"
"Withdraw! Your defenses are much better now!"
True to Margo's assumption, Hawka's fighting type moves packed a bunch, but not when Crowne was cozy in his shell. Indigo gritted his teeth. "We can whittle him down, Hawka. Fire Spin!"
"Protect!" Margo's grin grew even brighter as a blue green bubble of protection enveloped her Wartortle. Indy cursed. Not only did the move look amazing, Hawka's Fire Spin could not even put so much as a scratch on it.
"Can't go on forever, Quick Attack!"
"Evade it using Rapid Spin!" Margo cheered. It seemed that she had been reading up on the moves that would grace her Squirtle's new form. The Wartortle, though normally slow, was able to spin away with a surprising agility that left Indigo scratching his head.
And Margo took advantage of Indigo's inability to think in the moment. "Water Gun!"
Crowne nodded at his trainer's command, a burst of water shooting from his mouth at the Combusken. Margo was amazed at the difference in power her partner now had, a simple water gun from Squirtle was now a mighty torrent of water from Wartortle. The attack hit, sending Combusken back a few startled steps, her feathers sopping from the water.
Indy gritted his teeth, his jaw tensed. Margo couldn't tell, but it seemed to her that he wasn't quite as self-assured as before. Their two pokemon had been more evenly matched when Hawka had evolved, but Crowne was now on par--and even stronger with his type advantage.
"Hawka, use Double Kick again! Quick!" Hawka obeyed, jumping in the air before coming down on Crowne and sending him flying yet again with two quick kicks. The Wartortle skidded on the ground, bringing one of his arms in front of him to try to stop himself from the momentum of Hawka's kicks. He took a deep breath and glared at the fiesty bird before glancing towards Margo.
The teenager beamed at her pride and joy, the pokemon still looking so fierce and strong in his newly evolved form. "Let's do this, Crowne! Water Pulse!" She hadn't yet seen the move in action, but she knew Crowne was getting close to evolving and had read up on some of the new moves he might be getting. The air seemed to change around her, a static ringing in her ears as she watched the Wartortle readying himself.
Crowne held his little paws in front of him and appeared to blow into them, a sphere of water beginning to form. It grew faster and faster, about the size of a yoga ball, until the Wartortle stopped blowing, now looking at Hawka. He forced the ball of water in front of him and it landed in front of the Combusken, exploding into a large wave of water that came crashing down upon her.
Once the water had settled, Hawka stumbled this way and that, confused from the blow before plopping down on the muddy ground. Margo felt a tinge of sadness by the way the poor Combusken acted, but this feeling was pushed to the bottom of her list as Crowne came running to his trainer and immediately jumped into her arms. The teen was surprised at how much heavier he had become, falling down on the damp ground and laughing happily.
"We did it!" She exclaimed excitedly, hugging Crowne close to her.
"Mighty Margo," he dragged out sarcastically, "whatever, you got it. I'm not in the mood for a full battle though. So let's just stick to a one on one." And he knew what pokemon he wanted to use. Hawka, so close to evolving, he thought. She needed that extra push, didn't she?
