"I'm a heartbreaker... My name... Charles. I ride like the wind. I've already gotten rid of Ingo from my life. I've even let go of my grudge about the damages his brother owes me... Because I'm too much of a bad boy to get lawyers involved. I'd rather just get out of this joint and into a place with freer vibes."
"I won't stand for it. A strange foreigner like him coming in and stealing all of my thunder. I was a fan of Pokemon before he ever arrived, you know! But I read the room and listened to the clan, and I politely didn't bring any in! On top of that he's dangerously loud, and doesn't know any proper etiquette, and won't stop wearing those rags... No tact at all!"
That man is far too nice to purposefully try to steal anyone's thunder, so you must simply have had cold feet for too long. There's nobody to blame but yourself.
Anyway! Well! He doesn't have anything good against ice (in fact most of his team is at distinct disadvantage), but considering how much he's clubbed things with Munna, he's giving it a break.
Time to play things a little risky. ]
Donphan, you're up! Hit it hard and fast with fire fang!
[ sometimes you just gotta risk being weak to a Pokémon, it's fine.
You move into the next car to see—well. He can tell you himself.
"Oh! My! Almighty Sinnoh! To think that the Great Melli would be forced into the presence of such a blockhead! Where do I even begin with that haggard old man?!"
Melli has a Skuntank with him, already out and about, with no trace of a Pokeball. It grunts in acknowledgment.
"At least listen to me!! Such disrespect—Skuntank, don't allow him to get away with this!"
Skuntank uses Night Slash, which strikes Donphan in a critical hit! ...But there's no way he can hold out against Earthquake. He faints quickly all the same.
As Melli keeps whining, Munna pulls out the Full Restore jar from Melli's satchel in his stubby little limbs. He then floats over to Lear to deliver it.

Time to tend to his Pokemon. ]
... No dramatic spiels or anything to leave me with before I carry on?

Right, yes, that was a waste of time. Foolish of me to expect otherwise.

She does actually have to struggle for this.
"...often forgets to pray at all before meals? Is that a model citizen to you?!"
no subject
[ yeah. ]
Let's just get this over with, shall we? There is no way you and I are going to see eye-to-eye on this.

"Fine! Bergmite, go!"
She sends out Bergmite to fight!

2d6+1 = 7!]

...But Bergmite really isn't that strong, and succumbs easily to the Fire Fang afterwards. It was a good try.
no subject
All right then. That is more like it.
no subject
But she's not so much of a sore loser that she won't come over and heal Donphan with an old-fashioned topical potion.
no subject
[ a beat. ]
Good... luck with that, then.

Hmph. Don't even bother, then.
Donphan, you're up. We'll begin on the offensive--earthquake!
[ He knows this Pokemon, he's ready this time probably!
2d6+2 = 9! ]

Munna pops out of his ball, and starts floating towards Melli, coming behind him while he is distracted in his temper tantrum.
no subject
well. Munna is more competent than Lear gave him credit for so.
He's waiting to see where this goes. And thoroughly ignoring Melli. ]

no subject
Well done.
All right, Munna. Let's continue then.
[ together!! They're cute PokePals now!!
to the next train caaaar. ]

But then, out of nowhere! With a twirl and a flash of her cape, Da Vinci appears out of thin air, spreading her arms wide performatively.
"Tah-dah! Who would have guessed it would be me? Congratulations! It's the beautiful, talented, Universal Genius Da Vinci!"

He just stares for a long moment, before he sighs. ]
Yes, yes, genius, fine.
I assume you are here for a pokemon battle as well.

Well, nothing you say can convince me to change my existing opinion on him, so it's a waste of breath for you to try otherwise.
