~ SERAPHINA ~ Sera squeaked with excitement as the Hoothoot fell, but soon found the celebration premature- not because it was undeserved, but because something even better happened just after. Her X-Gear gave a little ding, informing her that her Pokemon were capable of using new moves! Eyes grew wide with a huge smile, such that she barely noticed the Shuppet's attack.
But it was about to notice hers. "Chikorita, Razor Leaf!" she called excitedly, and a little nervously. She trusted that the X-Gear was accurate, but actually seeing it for the first time would be more reassuring. "Last Charm, Iggles."
That gave Malcontent a negative feeling or two to eat, and Igglybuff turned and leered at her trainer for a few seconds instead. "..Sorry." She might have seen that as an act of defiance in a more dire situation, but the current high was sufficient distraction, and Igglybuff did turn and perform then, though Shuppet would probably have time to get off her attack before Igglybuff's.
That didn't matter, though, because Chikorita was busy shaking her head. The weight of her leaf suddenly felt a bit different, and she had to get a good feeling of it, but around the time Sera was apologizing to Igglybuff, Chikorita felt she about had it. Giving it one more harsh twirl, she formed a physical copy of her leaf which went whizzing right toward Shuppet. Sera gave an ecstatic laugh.

MORGAN
Well, wasn't that just her luck. Morgan could only guess from the small 'ding' and the sudden use of Razor Leaf that the other hadn't had that before? If Morgan had known that she probably would have used the Full Heal to wake Raptor back up and attack the Chikorita one more time before he fainted. Oh, well, though. Hindsight's 20-20.
"Mal, use Screech on the Chikorita!" If it was Screech. She hoped it was screech.
Whatever it was, Malcontent used it on the miniature sauropod again. Morgan half wondered if she could just spruce up Mal a little to teach it Scary Look because with the sheet torn like that, even from the back she did look like something Morgan wouldn't want to run into on a dark night.

~ SERAPHINA ~ Welp, Chikorita was visibly shuddering off and on from the awful sound while Mal was currently about as dangerous as a tissue. Together, they made up one perfectly counter-balanced pair as if all the Screeches and Charms had never even happened. This had clearly been a battle well spent.
"Razor Leaf, and Sing!" Chikorita gave a fierce cry as she leashed her attack again, then stopped and looked back in a manner of 'really? Sing again?' "Hush," Sera answered simply. Meanwhile, Igglybuff moved in close to coo a sweet melody to Malcontent. Sweet, in this case, was a little bit dark and grim: more of a requiem than a lullaby. She was a performer, after all; she could read her audience, thank you.

MORGAN The wailing died down, and Mal's head was fluttering to one side. "Fight it! Attack before you're down if you can!"
Morgan couldn't tell if Mal tried, or if that was just her sheet fluttering in the wind as she coasted slowly downwards, and was torn yet again by the, well, razor-sharp leaves.
With a huff, Morgan withdrew the Shuppet. "Congratulations, Sera. I don't see any reason to let my Shuppet suffer further when there's not--" She paused to bark out a laugh, and continued, "when there's not a ghost of a chance for me to win this. So, I forfeit. How much winnings do I owe you?"

~ SERAPHINA ~ Sera very much enjoyed that pun, then grinned haughtily at Morgan's explanation. "Hey, no shame in knowing how to admit defeat," she said, half sincere, half too-sweet. Of course, this logic didn't apply to herself.
At the final question, however, she found herself legitimately surprised a moment. Then her expression changed to one of mild anger, and her tone to one of disdain. "Winnings? I can't believe you would even think-! What do you think this is?! The dark ages of PokeEarth where people just go around betting money on fights between innocent creatures- creatures that aren't just our friends but a large part of our means for survival!? That's messed up, Morgan. Seriously messed up."
Both Chikorita and Igglybuff had turned to blink at Sera. Chikorita especially was impressed by the passion of the girl's stand. Igglybuff had a touch of that, but also found it a little overdramatic for her taste. Ah well.
After a few seconds to allow some reaction, Sera smirked. "But, you know, if you wanna contribute to the cause, I wouldn't mind $10 or so." The Pokemon both facefloored.

MORGAN Shrugging, Morgan responded, "Well, no, I don't think that--but I rather thought you might, and given I haven't got a leg to stand on..."
Morgan wondered if Sera wouldn't have asked--or would that be demanded?--winnings, had Morgan not beat her to the punch. So Morgan lost a little face--though she was rather proud of such an easy turnaround--but she also saved herself some money, which would be incredibly useful while shopping for that 'Dex Chip so that, come her next battle, she wouldn't be, metaphorically, running around like a Pidgey with its head cut off.
Was that a thing that...actually made sense? Morgan remembered reading...
Morgan wondered if Sera's spaciness was contagious.
"But if you're not demanding it, well. You've your cause, and I've my own, so no thank you." One foot crossed the other and Morgan dipped her body, flourishing her hands to either side--a curtsy without a skirt was rather hard to pull off, but whatever. "I suspect we'll battle again, hm? I won't be so unprepared next time, though." She certainly wouldn't be without a [insert string of curse words] 'Dex chip, because Morgan was debating buying that before she even healed her Pokémon. "And I'll finally be able to wipe that smug smile off your face. So do try not to die out there, I'd hate it if I missed my chance."

~ SERAPHINA ~ Hmph. "Nye nay nih nif my nit mye mnance," Sera mocked under her breath. She'd just been having a little fun, and suddenly Morgan went from offering money to refusing to give it. What a dick move.
As she watched her walk off, her eyes slid to her Pokemon, admittedly in need of some healing themselves but still standing firmly. Two could play at dick moves.. She then quickly surveyed the area to ensure they didn't currently hold anyone's attention before motioning quietly for them to come to her.
'...Sup?' was the general reaction from each as they approached. Kneeling down, Sera picked Igglybuff with one hand-- it was essentially like picking up a very soft basketball, though Sera wouldn't have made that association herself, especially with sports not being a very popular or efficient thing during her lifetime-- and brought the other to cup between her face and Igglybuff's.. general-ear-area-probably.
She whispered something to the little Pokemon, which earned her a look that said Igglybuff wasn't entirely sure if she was serious or teasing. Serious, then? She gave a little tilt that equated to a shrug and quickly bounced to catch up to Morgan, her soft body making very little noise as it touched the ground each time.
Once she was in earshot, Igglybuff began to sing a soft, wintry song to the human.

MORGAN What... What a pretty... music box. It's so nice, and...
...and where on Arceus' green Miaro is it coming from?
It took Morgan several seconds to find the offending Pokémon, given she wasn't expecting it to be coming from the ground.
"Aww, aren't.. you... you're the same Igglybuff, aren't you." Morgan barely suppressed a yawn as she looked and found Sera still sitting there. Morgan should have known it wasn't wild. She blamed it on the drowsiness from the song.
"Go on. Shoo. Get your little pink self to your little pink trainer and go on some little pink adventure, for all I care, just get away from me."

~ SERAPHINA ~ Morgan wasn't affected.
..Damn. There went the plan to not-rob her for prize money in her sleep. Igglybuff was feeling quite offended by both the lack of song appreciation and the overtly pink-hating comments coming from the red-headed trainer and huffed indignantly. In response, Sera feigned a laugh. "Oh, you silly!" she called, coming that way.
As she did, she recalled Chikorita. "Poor thing must have been hoping to finish the battle. It's going to be such a handful having such eager Pokemon." That was definitely what just happened, yup. She recalled the rather confused Igglybuff as well, then.
"Annnyway, I'll be looking forward to that rematch~" she chimed. She then spun around in such a way that her cloak caught a huge gust of air and flared up for a few seconds, partially because she knew it would annoy Morgan and partially because it was fun. Suddenly she found a particular phrase in her mind, and though she had no idea where it came from and it wasn't a thing she would normally say, she suddenly found it entirely unacceptable to say anything else. "Smell ya later, loser~!"

MORGAN Morgan stood. She watched.
Absolutely nothing was coming to mind as a comeback. Even when Seraphina did that oh-so-dramatic cape twirl, nothing.
She just stood there, seething.
Morgan debated growing out her nails and filing them to a point, so she might have a backup plan. Finally, though, she came out of her revenge reverie and remembered that her Pokémon needed tending, so she stalked off to the local inn to see about that.
Still seething.
