Kogeki choose Aspido and Susano'o as fighter choices for this match.

Ninja Girl Cassidy sends out a Golbat, and Ace Trainer Jacob sends out a Flareon!

Though thanks to Lucas's recounting of his own experiences, Randolph probably isn't surprised to see what looks like an elderly lady sitting at the table.  "Oh?  Ah, a visitor.  It's been so long since someone's paid this dingy old place a visit.  Come, come, have a seat."

Well, if you say Ran's caught off guard by the unexpectedly homeliness of the now not so abandoned house, so be it! He's visibly startled to not see the interior in a state of disrepair or long suffering vacancy, blinking a few times and rubbing both his eyes as he takes everything in. That's soon put to a stop when the old lady the champ mention jolted him out of his slight stupor ('Einfache häusliche Schrecken, wie habe ich sie vorher nicht bemerkt ?!), prompting him to snap his attention straight to the gram gram before trying pass it off his overall reaction with a cough.

"Ehrm....yes. Thank ya kindly, mam."

He paced over to the table and took a seat across from his now old hostess, now looking more composed and respectful, but still ever so minutely confused as to what the heck was going on. Then with a mental scoff he dismissed such feelings and settled in, adjusting himself in the seat so that he was both comfortable and could actually look his elder in the eye.

'Bah, to hell with trying to figure this out. So long as whatever is going on here doesn't try to damn or entrap me soul and is hospitable, it can keep its own mysteries.'

It took several seconds for the dwarven blacksmith to ponder what else to say to her, before he settled on fairly straightforward introductions.

"Name's Randolph Schmidt, but you can call me Ran, mam. It's nice to meet ya. As for my intrusion here, I saw this little abode while I was hiking out here with my partners and decided to check it out while they were off on their own business. Hopefully my visit ain't a bother to ya, mam."

Kee nudges Karen once again after she awoke from her stupor caused by the mssy place, this time with a little more emphasis. "C'mon, it's impolite to stare. ( `ε´ ) We're guests, we're allowed to warm ourselves up here, show a lil' bit of gratitude!" Octavia also chirps (or whatever the sound of a Sylveon could be called) at Karen as if she's worrying whether the young lady's fine, and uses a ribbon of hers to pick up a cup from the table and place it in Karen's lap.

Back to the Hiker, and back to a cup of nice hot coffee. A lights smile forms on Kee's expression over the Hiker's description of the view from atop of Mount Coronet, it seems like he's imagining said view and is already looking forward to experience it himself. He doesn't feel like it's a suprise nor coincidence that the to Spear Pillar's obscured by clouds, THAT place must be really high up...! "And what kinds of Pokemon did ya encounter in said caves? Bet they have barely ever seen a human, living high up in caves of a high mountain range, have they?"

Ohhhh, he's also happy over the offer to search for some loot outside, yes!~~ "Well, if that's 'kay for ya, I'd gladly look for some nice things to keep, could be useful for our travels! *big sip of coffee* ....After having finished this cup, that is. Let's see, a dowsin' machine we don't have, but we have our Pokemon! How 'bout... Oh yes, my recently adopted Fire Types (Vulpix and Salandit) and Core (with Flamethrower) could clear some of the snow, and you've got... a Pokemon with a keen sense of smell, don't ya, Karen? (Her Mightyena) That should work just as well if not even better than a this machine."

Every trainer on the battlefield orders their pokemon to begin (de)buffing before going on the offensive.

Susano'o's fins grow sharp as he waves them about.

Swords Dance 1
(4)(4)(3)(2)(2)(2)
+2 Strength for Susano'o

Flareon cloaks itself in fire and charges at Susano'o!  "That looks like a Water/Steel type, Flareon!  Take it down quickly!" orders Jacob.

Flame Charge 1
3 Dex + 4 Fight + 4 Brawl - 2 = 9
(6)(2)(3)(4)(3)(5)(3)(3)(5)
5 Str + 2 Pow + STAB - 3 = 3 D6
(3)(3)(1)(1)(1) Susano'o fearlessly faces the charge head on, grabbing Flareon by the head and throwing them back to the opposing side of the battlefield before they actually make any kind of meaningful contact with him!
Flareon's Dex increases by 1!  It's now at the top of the initiative.

Cassidy orders her Golbat to be tricksy, like any good ninja she's read about and dreamed of being!  "Let's take out that weird looking crab pokemon, Golbat!"

Confuse Ray 1
9 base - 2 = 7 
(6)(2)(3)(5)(4)(2)(6)(2)(1)
Aspido became Confused!

Aspido calls upon the power of nature to melt the ice in the air and turn it into rain!  He much prefers that kind of precipitation without a doubt.

Rain Dance 1
(5)(5)(3)(2)(6)
It began to Rain!

Flareon stands up and growls at Susano'o, continuing to charge at Susano'o as ordered!  And it's cloaked in even more fire this time!

Flare Blitz 2
(4)(3)(3)(1)(4)(3)(2)(5)
5 Str + 5 Pow + STAB - 3 - Rain = 7 D6 - 1
(6)(6)(1)(2)(5)(1)(4)(3) Susano'o takes 2 damage 6/8 HP -1 Pain
(6)(4)(6) Flareon takes 3 recoil damage!  5/8 HP -1 Pain
(5)

Susano'o makes his power known!  A watery sword sweeps across the battlefield, annihilating all in its path!

Hidden Power Water 2
(5)(2)(1)(3)
4 + 3 + STAB + 2 SF + 2 LO + 1 Rain - 3/4 Sp Def = 10/9 D6 (+1 to Flareon)
(5)(1)(3)(2)(3)(5)(5)(3)(4), (2)
Flareon takes 5 damage and faints!
Golbat takes 4 damage! 4/8 HP -2 Pain

Golbat spins in place midair from the force of that blow, but spreads its wings wide and quickly retaliates by flapping them frantically!

Air Cutter 2
9 - 4 - 2 - 1 = 2
(4)(2)
3 Spe + 2 Pow + STAB - 3 = 3 D6 (+1 on Aspido, -1 on Susano'o)
(6)(4)(5) 
Aspido takes 4 damage! 11/15 HP -1 Pain
Susano'o takes 2 damage! 4/8 HP -2 Pain

Cassidy seems excited about how well that worked!  "Ooh, that's definitely a Grass type!  Keep attacking it, Golbat!"

Aspido reactively eats his Sitrus Berry (14/15 HP) and withdraws into his shell instinctively.  They're focusing him down!  Nope, he's not having any of that!

Withdraw 2
9 - 4 - 2 = 3
(5)(1)(5) 
+1 Defense for Aspido

Kogeki uses a Potion on Susano'o.  He's back up to 8/8 HP and no pain.

Susano'o then jets forward before anyone can blink, determined to protect his friend no matter the cost!

Aqua Jet 3
9 - 6 = 3
(3)(2)(2) ...except he jets past Golbat in his haste.  Whoops.  Well, at least he won't be taking Recoil damage from his Life Orb.

Golbat then tries to bite Aspido with its toxic fangs!

Poison Fang 3
9 - 2 - 6 = 1
(5)
2 + 3 + STAB - 4 = 2
(3)(6) Aspido takes 1 damage 13/15 HP -1 Pain
(6)(5)(3)(2)(5) Aspido was Badly Poisoned!

"...huh?  That wasn't super effective?"

Aspido tries to launch rocks at Golbat...

Stone Edge 3
9 - 2 Confused - 6 Act - 1 Pain -2 Accuracy = 0
...but he takes 1 damage in his Confusion instead.  12/15 HP -1 Pain

Toxic Poison: (1) Aspido takes 1 damage from the poison.  11/15 HP -1 Pain

Jacob has his second pokemon prepared already.  He's staring at the battlefield with an intense look of concentration.

Cassidy doesn't look very confident, though.  "...wow, that crab's really bulky...do you think we can beat it, Golbat?"

The way the elderly lady says that particular word is...odd.  She put a LOT of emphasis on its pronunciation for some reason...

She continues the conversation without missing a beat as she heads over to her kitchen to check on whatever she's brewing up, though.

"So, you're going on a little hike, are you?  I take it that means you're heading to Mt. Coronet?"

"Let's see how you handle this!  Go, my faithful partner!"  Ace Trainer Jacob summons a Luxray! It immediately starts growling at its opponents.  Intimidate decreases the Strength of Kogeki's pokemon by 1.

Cassidy's Golbat stays out.

Luxray: (6) + 11 = 17
Susasno'o: 14
Gama: (2) + 10 = 12
Golbat: 10
