[Lord Windos]

When the sounds of battle die down, and the damage is finally assessed, Firestone throws his hat to the ground in frustration. "Agh! So much energy! Couldn't burn through it. Couldn't burn her, either...Tell me, does your Arbok have Shed Skin? Doesn't seem like Intimidate, but with that early Acid Spray I wasn't sure. You fight very well. Here's $1000, all collected in battle from lesser trainers than you. New to Stair City?"

Apsis gains 7Xp. Ventus gains 3XP.

Throughout the scorching match, Ventus maintain his cool, calm serenity, his smile never wavering as watched his sister duke it out against the fire fox, her overbearing bulk and harashing Bites pited against Flareon's flightiness, Detects, and Fire Fangs. Even when he couldn't clearly see the action taking place on the battlefield and the status of Apsis, his empathy and strong both with her told him that she was fairing extremely well against. 'I have utter confidence and faith in you, my regal sister! Take down this Eeveelution, the same as you did to Zamboni's Glaceon,' the researcher though, internally cheering them on as he carefully watch the events unfold whenever he could.

Eventually, Apsis' endurance and grinding damage won out against the fierce Flareon, causing a full blown and magnificent grin to blossom across Ventus' face, while Firestone's post defeat antics earned them a couple of playful chuckles. He briskly crossed the distance between him and the hot temper Ace Trainer, and accepted the offered prize money with that friendly grin and a handshake, before they responded to their inquiry.

"You'll be hard pressed to find a hearty opponent than in Apsis and myself, my friend, though I didn't think such fortitude would grant us Burn protection against your Flareon's potent flames! Such is the way of battles, I suppose: chaotic, tense, yet invigorating and exciting! She does has Shed Skin, but due to the necklace she's wearing its not active in battles, but instead it bestows upon her has a pseudo form of Serene Grace, which is likely the reason why her Bites Flitched your fox more often than not! Mind if I ask what their ability was as well in turn, friend? Oh, and yes, I'm new to the area. I've stopped here to gain some respite from my cross region research journey with my friend, and was exploring the city with one of them just now! Do you know any areas of particular interest we can visit later, as I rather not miss out on what Stair has to offer to a wayward, worrisome wanderer like myself!"
