Pluto: Damn, you can hit pretty hard for such a scrawny kid. I'm impressed, but already getting bored. Pluto in turn delivered a swift, brutal knee attack straight to Dreike's belly. Since Dreike moved his aura energy to his hands to give his punches more strength, he did not have much to rienforce the rest of his body, causing him to take the full brunt of Pluto's attack. Reeling in pain, Dreike could do little to fight back, simply redistributing his aura back around his body. At that moment, Pluto grabbed Dreike's shirt collar with his left hand and held him in place as he continued to deliver brutal knee attacks to his opponent. Terra: S-stop...! Please! Pluto chuckled after giving Dreike a few more knee kicks, then held him up to eye level by his shirt collar. Dreike could barely speak straight. Pluto: I was hoping for more of a fight out of you, with all of those flashy moves. Heheh, what the hell? Dreike: You have no... aura power... how are you... t-this strong?... Pluto: Heheheh... if you must know, I'm sort of what you'd call a Cyborg. See, I used to be a fat, out of shape slob. I'd try to lose the weight in a healthy manner, though people would make fun of my weight quite often, which in turn would drive me back to eating more. It was a vicious cycle... Then I found Commander Mercury. Seeing how he was such a mastermind in engineering, I agreed to be a guinea pig, a project for his experiments. A dangerous proccess I wasn't guaranteed to live through, but I didn't care. Several surgeries later and many parts and organs of my body are artificial now. Like the energy cannon in my right palm, my iron skin, my now in-shape stomach and my artificial lungs. Yeah, I used to be extremely unhealthy, and now I smoke cigars for fun, since they can't hurt me! Just like you can't hurt me either, shrimp. Dreike: Tch... as far as I'm... concerned... you're just a monstrosity... Terra wanted to intervene, and was prepared to fire her own aura projectiles at Pluto. As she took aim, Pluto glanced at her and aimed his arm cannon at Dreike Pluto: You behave, or else I'll take your pal's head clean off his body. I've done it before, it'll be easy. Terra then lowered her own energy to make her attack disappear. Pluto turned off his arm cannon in return, but instead clenched his fist and punched Dreike in the gut, where his previous attacks already made tender. Dreike: Kuuhh!! Dammit... Pluto: Oh, that's right. I almost forgot about the best part! What do you think I did with those jerks who picked on me after I got this amazing new body? I hunted them down and snapped their tiny necks! It was so thrilling... That's why I hunt deserters for the Professor. It's just so much fun! The hunting, then the assassination... Once you get one kill, you just can't help but want to kill more... and with a body like this, who's gonna stop me? Aura-chuckers like you clearly don't stand a chance! Dreike was in too much pain to be able to strike back efficiently. He didn't even bother trying after his full strength proved to be nearly useless. Pluto: My muscles are also artificial. Much stronger and swifter than the average person, as you've seen... Pluto then lifted his left arm, raising Dreike up before letting him go. Dreike fell a few inches as Pluto reeled back his left arm, then quickly delivered a brutal punch once again to Dreike's weakened stomach. Pluto's fist disconnected from his wrist and slammed Dreike into a tree, damaging the tree itself. Pluto Chuckled as he began to reel back in his hand, which was connected to his arm with a chain. Pluto: By the way, chicks go crazy over this body of mine, but that's just gravy. Terra: Dreike!! Terra floated over to Dreike, who was knocked unconcious by Pluto's final attack. She came to tears and put her hands on his side as he lie on the ground, trying desperately to nudge him awake. Terra: Come on, Dreike!! Please, get up... please!! Pluto: Hahah! He was all bark and no bite. But, I'd be more worried about myself if I were you. After all, you're the one I'm here to kill, girl. Terra lifted herself up and quickly maneuvered around Commander Pluto, shooting him with many aura sphere projectiles that had little effect. Terra, thinking to herself: I need to try and lure him far away into an open clearing like where I met Dreike. My only chance of beating him is with an aura bomb, and I can't use it here because there's too many wild pokemon that could get caught up in it. She continued to pelt Pluto with small attacks while backing away Pluto: Oh, so you want to do this the hard way? Fine by me, it's more fun that way. Pluto began to chase after Terra, and she began to focus more on getting away rather than attacking him at that point. Terra had left Dreike's bag and coat behind as she fled the scene. Once She and Pluto were out of sight, Victini's pokeball slipped out of Dreike's bag, allowing Victini to free itself out of the ball, perhaps breaking free sensing it's master's distress. Victini then floated over to Dreike, rolling him over on his back and kneeling behind his head. Once there, Victini put it's small hands on Dreike's forehead and closed it's eyes, focusing it's energy.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
