"Oh, how darling! Isn't she just adorable, Vee?" the woman exclaimed, as they had been approached by a delightful Meditite. From what she understood, it would evolve into an even more beautiful Pokemon in Medicham. For a moment, Annabelle had been swept up in her desire to capture it when she noticed the barking of her Eevee.

Glancing down, it was clear in her eyes that she didn't agree with the decision her master had made. Normally such an action might have worried her, yet this Eevee had only ever shown kindness and complacency. For her to show such a fierce determination, it was either that she didn't want the Meditite to join or some kind of fighting spirit had been evoked within her. Annabelle was passive when it came to battling, as she knew it was necessary but found no joy nor excitement in it. Even so, she did value her Vee dearly so, if that's what she wanted, then she would simply have to find a cuter pokemon to add to the ranks.

"Very well then, Vee, you may go ahead and use Swift," the Eevee excitedly complied and released a star-shaped barrage from her maw.

The stars flew to the Meditite, but she refused to move from the position she was in. It was clear once she began glowing that they had messed up badly, the Pokemon beginning to store energy for Bide. Switching up their tactics, they quickly used Charm to lower her offensive capabilities. Prepared as they could be, the Meditite launched herself forward and returned the Swift damage plus some. The effect had been dampened by the Charm, but it was still incredible.

Vee found herself flying across the room, her trainer gasping and running over to check on her wounds. Shaking off the dust, it was clear that she wasn't fine, but she wasn't done either. Annabelle couldn't help but smile at the spirit of her Pokemon, it didn't evoke her own but it inspired her to ensure they defeated the Pokemon quickly.

"Vee, get in close with Quick Attack," the Eevee began running and gained extra speeds, dashing in and ramming her body into the Meditite. Adaptability had made the attack stronger, but the pair weren't done yet. The Meditite lifted the Eevee with her Confusion and slammed her into the ground before she lashed forward with a powerful Bite, knocking the Pokemon out.

Having defeated the Meditite, Vee was licking her paw to remove the dirt that had coated it during her battle probably as an after effect of having been pampered by Annabelle her whole life. Annabelle meanwhile was singing praise to her Eevee, ecstatic at her performance! The two had just engaged in their first battle, not yet having formed any true bond. Eevee liked the kindness her trainer showed her, but their friendship had yet to be tried and tested. To show such an eager and natural reponse to her orders was an impeccable sign.

"Oho, Vee! Beautiful and strong, aren't you just so darling!" she gushed, bending over to pat her beloved pokemon, before noting that they were no longer alone.

An incredibly ugly pokemon had dared to show its face to Annabelle, changing her demeanor entirely. She had a very particular taste in aesthetics, and Ralts was not something she could ever deem enjoyable. Truly, the only delightful thing about it was its final form in Gardevoir, but having to be mired down by such a homely appearance until then...she couldn't do it. No, much more than that, she wouldn't do it!

Red orbs darkened in anger, her Eevee noting the change in her owner and even becoming a bit intimidated herself. She had never directed such a glance toward Vee, but she had used it quite often back at her mansion when displeased with service, gifts, or anything at all really. She found many things to be ugly and she never held back her hatred.

"Vee, Quick Attack. Into Bite." she ordered swiftly, her partner darting forward with incredible speed and ramming into the Ralts. Using her psychic prowess, the Ralts lifted the Eevee and slammed her against the ceiling hard enough so that when she bounced off the floor it was almost as if she was hit twice. Crying out in pain, she pushed forward and sunk her teeth into the Ralts.

A super-effective hit, the Ralts roared in pain and attempted to shake the Eevee off before blowing it away with an incredible Growl. Lowering her offensive capabilities, the Eevee let go and awaited orders from her master. Had she but a bit more experience she'd be able to make another counter-attack before being ordered, but she was still to green. Though, the same could be said for Annabelle who was only acting to rid her eye of the Ralts.

"Vee, use Swift!"

With a cry of an agreement, she gathered energy at her mouth before blasting forth a series of star-shaped blasts landing on the Ralts in succession. Thanks to her ability, Adaptability, both the Swift and Quick Attack were enhanced decently. But the Ralts wasn't ready to give up, she used her Confusion again and slammed her against the cavern in a rage. The damage wasn't terrible, the issue was that Vee was now confused!

"C'mon Vee, confusion isn't cute at all...use Bite!" she frowned as she spoke, relaying her command to her confused Eevee who ended up ramming herself into a wall hurting herself in confusion.

Seeing an opportunity, the Ralts used Growl again and lowered her attacks even further. Attempting to obey her owner once more, she rushed forward and latched onto the Ralts once more with her teeth. Despite the fact her attack was moderately reduced, she had sustained enough damage that the super-effective attack knocked the Ralts out.

"Oh Vee, good job, but come here darling!" she called out, hoping to snap the Eevee out of confusion before the final opponent. Hopefully, their final opponent wouldn't be too tough, Vee was feeling the drag of having fought two consecutive battles.

Eevee had just fought two hard battles and was certainly in no position to fight a third battle. Scooping her delightful Pokemon into her arms, she brought her close so that she wouldn't even have to look at the hideous abomination that had shown up. An atrocious and oddly shaped Pokemon that Annabelle had never seen nor heard of before. She was sure that Vee could've handled herself if she hadn't fought so many battles back-to-back, but the stress was working through her now. She needed a nice long rest, and there were no others that she could call upon to continue. Returning the Eevee to its Poke Ball, the woman began running away from the Pokemon

Apparently, she had left quite a mark on it, because it kept attempting to attack by releasing orbs of energy that dented the cavern walls. It was obvious that the woman needed to get away, but the more she panicked the more she lost control. She kept turning corners she had already went down that lead to similar dead ends, all the while avoiding the Pokemon. When hope seemed all but lost, she found the entrance she had came through and left through it.

Emerging to moonlight, there were several men in suits surrounding her. "Drats. Well, I guess this worked out anyway. Vee needs healing, take care of it," she ordered, her heels clicking against the stone as they ushered her into a car and away.

TL;DR - Ran from the fight, +0 EXP gained
