Good on you for taking her advice. You never know how many cards an opponent will have, for instance...

Just as the attacks were about to land Darren seemingly vanished into thin air. Leaving the two open.

[Continued from here! Cropped to save space <3 @blazing-destiny]

[Durin is caught off-guard by the Low Sweep, but managed to get back up. Tanga nearly crashed, but Durin moved to perfectly catch her!]

Tanga: He's fast! Good catch though! Durin: Try not to use that move too much. Can't guarentee I catch every time. Tanga: I won't, don't worry!

[Tanga got up, readying for... something. It was unclear what she was planning...]

Durin: ...ahah... I see. Alright then.

[Durin slid one foot to the side, before zipping off! Durin uses Quick Attack!]

[blazing-destiny]

The raboot reels back a bit from the combined attack but ultimately stays on his feet.

I should speed it up for you then.

Darren starts to stretch a bit, using Agility to increase his speed.

Let's try this again!

Darren once again dashes at Durin, raising his paw to strike.

[blazing-destiny]

That is true. The enemy won't give you a break, so...

Darren suddenly appears behind Durin, his teeth engulfed in flames.

So neither will I!

Darren attempted to get a Fire Fang off on Durin. Chomping down where the scorbunny was.

[blazing-destiny]

The raboot quickly regains his composure, blocking the attack.

Hmf. Guess that means it's time to raise the difficulty level.

Darren pushes Tanga back. He seems to loosen up a bit, bouncing back and forth on his toes quickly and steadily.

Been holding back a bit but you're ready for more of a challenge. What'd ya say?

[Durin slid one foot to the side, before zipping off! Durin uses Quick Attack!]

[blazing-destiny]

This managed to catch the raboot off guard.

W-Whoa!

He gets sent back a considerable distance before touching the ground, almost losing his balance.

Ok, that was some quick thinking...

[blazing-destiny]

Darren dodged the attack, causing them to collide with each other. In the midst of the confusion Darren dashes forward landing a kick square in the backs of the scorbunnies, making sure not to use too much power. (Double Kick)

[blazing-destiny]

Is that so?

Darren uses Sand Attack again, but instead of aiming it, he creates a dust cloud surrounding the area.

Let's see how good you are Durin...

[blazing-destiny]

Prev

Heh.

In one quick movement, Darren pushes off his grounded foot and redirects his raised one to collide with Tanga's fist.

You two make it hard to believe this is your first battle together.

The raboot pushes off of Tanga and backs away from the pair.

Had a feeling you were trying to sneak attack me when I noticed you were hanging back. So I played along to see if I was right, and I was.

Now then, what is your next move? Your communication skills are definitely good, you're figuring out what to do without saying too much. That's a good skill to have out in the field. Now you're gonna have to get creative in your approach. Running a guild and doing missions means I've had more than enough experience to figure out most of the strats you might try to use.

Darres gets back into a fighting stance.

So how will you respond?

[Durin slid one foot to the side, before zipping off! Durin uses Quick Attack!]

[blazing-destiny]

You think so?

Darren replies raising an eyebrow. Now face to face with the scorbunny.

Maybe I just wanted to stop your Quick Attack.

Darren quickly raised his foot in an attempt to kick Durin.

[blazing-destiny]

Quick Attack?

Darren thought to himself as he stole a quick glance at Tanga.

What are they planning this time? Hm...alright let's try this...

The raboot waited for Durin to get close, then proceeded to kick up "sand" around him (Sand Attack)

[blazing-destiny]

Darren chuckles a bit, impressed by the pair's actions.

Not a bad idea, this is actually gonna be a little fun.

The raboot narrowly dodges the High Jump Kick then counters the Low Sweep with one of his own.

Let's see how far you can go!

@blazing-destiny

Darren approaches the pair of scorbunnies, paws in his hoodie.

So you're taking on gyms huh? Never been to one before but I've heard humans say they're tough. If it's training you're after then let's get started. Who wants to go first?

Tanga: Oooh… Tha's tough… I haven't battled too much yet… Durin: But it'd be good as a first battle to battle one of your own species… Good practice to learn moves.

Tanga: Maybe it'd be more fair if we both battled together, you're a Raboot and we're still Scorbunny! Durin: …That's a silly reason… Tanga: C'mon don't you wanna battle with me? Durin: …yeah… It would be nice to battle together.

[blazing-destiny]

Darren smirks at the pair.

Actually, your friend has a point. Double battles are a thing, not to mention you may have to work together in the event of an attack during your travels. It's a good idea to work on your synergy and develop team strategies for the future.

The raboot proceeds to get into a battle stance.

Well, let's see how well you two can work together. Come at me whenever you feel like it.

[blazing-destiny]

(ask-imaginary-dreamers) Casey looks at Vayu curiously, “You said what’s inside the temple can change the world… Can you say what’s inside or is it a secret?”

The hybrid hesitates, contemplating if she should answer or not.

Darren: You know I'm curious now as well. What's so important that you have to keep it locked up in a temple?

Vayu: I suppose you all should know, it is your duty after all... The latichu sighs before continuing.

Are you all aware of The Darkest Day?

Ninjara: You mean the day Eternatus supposedly went on a rampage destroying most of the Galar region?

Vayu: Precisely. What many aren't aware of is that Eternatus wasn't acting out of malicious intent but was rather manipulated into going on that rampage.

Solblitz: What does that have to do with the temple?

Vayu: When the first Eternatus arrived here they were just a baby searching for food, out of kindness Arceus nurtured it and helped it grow. Once it got old enough Arceus decided to form a group of humans and pokemon to watch over the Eternatus and guide it on the right path. It was only until the actions of one selfish human that The Darkest Day came to be.

Darren: What happened?

Vayu: A greedy human seeking power started to talk to them, corrupting its mind with visions of grandeur. Slowly but surely young Eternatus grew cold and sought to take all the world's energy for itself. Once the galarian heroes defeated the Eternatus it was revealed that they did not die but were rather reborn and once again an infant. So a temple was erected and a select group was chosen to watch over the child until they were old enough.

Buttermilk: So that means...

Darren: There's a baby Eternatus with my parents in there...
