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.
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure anyone on this train could agree with the last bit. But we are where we are, you know? Still, you're magnanimous, going this far out of your way for someone annoying and irritating. You saw he's been through some actual life-threatening things, right? What if you get stuck reliving that?"

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.

And with that he's headed to the next car. ]

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! ]

"Noooo...!"

Good. The less time I have to listen to you people, the better.

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. ]

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!"
no subject
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.

[ eye roll. ]
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.
no subject
no subject
[ oh. what else could we really expect, honestly. ]
But he is also earnest, honest and irritatingly kind. Very skilled at battling with his Pokemon as well.
Honestly, there are plenty of people to find fault in who are much worse than he is.

If it comes to that, then it comes to that. I am here now, so there isn't any real reason to try to sway me from what I'm intending to do.
