As Keldeo skated around the battlefield, making himself a constantly moving target, he seemed to stumble ever so slightly at the sight of the man and Mightyena. He paused, his gaze lingering on the pair. His brow briefly furrowed... It seemed he ddn't want to recognize them. Shaking his head as if trying to rid himself of the doubt and confusion, he took off again.Keldeo, Keldeo!" she called. "Remember us? Clink brought us here to see you!"
"That's right," Nate said, with a small wave that he immediately felt must have been stupid. He wavered a little on his feet, but steadied himself after a moment. "Long time, no see. What happened to you, huh? That's a hell of a new look you've got going on there.
Keldeo's Resolve wavered ever so slightly!
Samson's attack came swift. Perhaps the instincts of his pokemon body were awakening... The blow glanced off Keldeo's body. "And invading my home and ganging up on me is right?" he cried. A taunting gleam shone in his eyes as he called to Samson. Clearly an effort to take a dig at him and make him feel bad. "Are you superior for not trying to strike me head on?" So he'd managed to glean Samson's intent in not hitting Keldeo right in the face."I act according to my conscience and the teachings of Arceus. I don't care about 'honor' - I care about doing the right thing."
A moment later, Nova's cry made him flinch as it battered at his more sensitive equine hearing. Red energy surged around his horn and it lengthened. With terrifying speed he lunged for Nova. The blow almost certainly would have struck true if not for her use of Quick Attack. Instead, it merely grazed the Eevee. The blow stung, but the worst of it was averted. This time.
Keldeo's attention shifted from the Eevee and to Sada, as she called out to him. He seemed torn between smug delight and annoyance at her words. "At least you recognize the world for what is." Under his glee, there was a sort of bitterness. "Unfair. Should I lower myself to your level then? What will you do when there is no fair fight to be had? Cheat?" A challenge. And a taunt, as if he wanted to see her try something truly underhanded.
Keldeo's Resolve wavers at the questioning! It may be easier now to lower if pressed...
He lowered his horn to charge, only to hesitate as that abominabe dragon moved to shield her. With a snort, he pawed the ground, then burst forward, water spraying from his hooves as he sped toward him with Aqua Jet. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the fae and fox preparing flames. As if. Flames couldn't touch a master of the water as himself.
A blazing fireball from Pixels and Codex, flames stoked to an inferno by the energy radiated by Winged King, crashed into him midstep. The force and light in his face made him stumble. Winged King's Ancient Power slammed into him full force a half second later. The rocks battered him. Horn aglow with red light, he swung his head and shattered the boulders. He looked pissed. And the fur on his face looked a little well-done.
A ghotly fired flared around his body and he winced, then gave a furious neigh. Even with just the force of a few moves combined, they'd actually managed to deal a sound blow. Without straying from the terms he'd set. Annoyance sparked through him.
Keldeo was burned! Keldeo's Resolve was lowered a bit by the display of teamwork!
A brief pause. "Fun?" Keldeo tossed his mane and snorted. "Winning is fun. It doesn't matter what it takes to get there." Still, it seemed the comment bothered him a little, that Pachi wanted him to have a good time.“I was born in a Pokemon Gym. I dunno much about honor, but I know about rules. And I think formal battles are about everyone having fun and doing their best! I hope you can enjoy this too!”
Horn shining, he sliced the attack in half. A faint crackle of electricity rippled across his body, but the worst of the blow had been mitigated. "Hah! Lonely?" Keldeo sneered. "You interlopers... so full of yourself, believing everyone not behaving like you wish requires saving. I don't need anything from a group of self-righteous so called heroes."“I just realized something. I know, it’s already obvious, but we’re fighting you not in a one-on-one battle, but one-against-everyone. We’re all working together to save you, Keldeo. Doesn’t that make you feel lonely? Besides, there’s a lot of honor in trusting someone else. …Even if we just met. Anyway, please, just stop this nonsense and let us save you!”
After shouting those last words in desperation, she charged up a Volt Ball and threw it right towards Keldeo’s face with a front leg.
"Is that all you got?" Keldeo taunted, as the waves of pin missles pelted at him. He dodged them with ease, slipping around them. In a moment, Keldeo's own dodging brought him directly into the path of the Drapion. The poison-type brandish his blade of dark energy and swung. The blow tore into Keldeo's flank. He hadn't tried to dodge, and the attack looked like it hurt.Drapion would finally close the gap and last out at Keldeo, claws glowing with the dark aura of night slash.
A moment later, red aura surged around Keldeo in reaction to the attack. He smirked, even as he winced. Apparently he deemed the tradeoff from Justified worth suffering the direct blow.
Chef Flygon had watched the opening of the battle unfold in stony silence, not even bothering to speak at Keldeo's challenge. Clink stayed back as well, at Chef Flygon's suggestion. "Honor is not found only in surface level promises. It is wielding ones power with responsibility and justness."
With a burst of speed, Chef Flygon shot up into the hair, beating his wings into a frenzy. A strong wind kicked up, blowing from behind the group. The Tailwind began to blow strongly.
"Beware his counter attack! Brace yourselves!"
Water sprayed as Keldeo jetted to the opposite end of the battlefield. A blue aura flared around him and wrapped around his horn as he danced rythmically from side to side.
Keldeo used Swords Dance!
Keldeo used Swords Dance!
Keldeo's retaliation was swift and brutal. One moment he was there, still as stone at he end of the battlefield. The next it was almost as if he teleported, a jet of water trailing him. A blur so fast that all that could be seen was the red blow of his horn.
He targeted Codex first, shooting past them to kick of water into their face before slashing at their back with a rapid combo of strikes. The blows nigh impossible to dodge, but then, perhaps their emotion sense might have detected the surge of malicious intent aimed at them. Enough time to avoid a direct strike, perhaps.
In a flash, Keldeo was off again.
More water kicked up, and he shot towards Winged King before abruptly feinting backwards and then lunging again, kicking at the dragon before whirling and slashing at his legs with a well-timed blow.
Keldeo used Aqua Jet!
Keldeo used Sacred Sword!
His movements were fast, effortless and hit hard. Lashing with his hooves as he used Aqua Jet and hitting with his horn with Sacred Sword. Each attack wielded with great skill. Each swing of his horn came so quick it was hard to dodge, and he had a skill for being able to outfeint or outmanuever opponents. Still, there was only so much he could do before he had to shift to try and move to another opponent. Only one or two blows at each of the group.
Keldeo was nothing if not relentless, managing to strike out at the whole team in the matter of just a few moments. But for now at least, it seemed that between the earlier use of Disable and whatever facade he was keeping, he stuck to the moves he said he'd use.
He skated back to the opposite side of the field, brandishing his horn. "You all speak of honor and fairness but those are just concepts created by weak beings. A pathetic attempt to make yourselves feel moral and righteous because of arbitrary restraints." His cold voice was filled with arrogant glee, and despite the barrage of attacks he seemed well ready to handle more. "But everyone abandons honor eventually. Everyone caves in the face of desperation. It is inevitable." There was the sense his words meant he intended to prove what he said. That he had to prove he was right.
