Clover's attempted confrontation with the man ended just as most predicted, with her getting captured. Honestly, no one knew what the little Eevee planned by approaching them, maybe all the wounds she sustained earlier did something to her head. Either way, they were under attack now, the man must have put a lot of stock in this "Demon" of his to send out half his team on the offensive against a larger number or opponents. However, if that man or their Pokemon thought they were going to be easy pickings, then he was dead wrong.
The Mightyena was quick, but the were put on guard the moment Clover was captured, and they jumped out of the way just in time. They had to admit, they had seen a few Mightyena before, they weren't exceptionally rare Pokemon, and they all looked rather viscous, but this one looked down right psychotic. Still, the group wasn't going to let this Mightyena's terrifying gaze slow them down.
"Well O.K, you guy's were right, he is a poacher", Embertail said with a somewhat nervous smile on his face, keeping his eye's on the ferocious Mightyena as it paced around him.
"(Yeah, too bad he's too stupid or too cocky to realize two on one are terrible odds)", Jasper said as she glared at the Mightyena, readying her club.
"Jasper, loose an Ice Beam to slow it down! Embertail once the attacks connect's or he dodges, strike him with a Brick Break!", Curt yelled to his team. Jasper nodded and raised her club, the blue ruins inscribed in it glowed bright as she let loose a frigged Ice Beam at the wolf-like Pokemon. Embertail stood on guard and waited to the Ice Beam connected with a target, he charged his fist with Chi energy, causing it to glow white and signalling Brick Break was ready. Then he saw that bright blue flash of light followed by a faint gust of cold wind, signalling Jasper's Ice Beam was done and it was his time at attack. Sticking his tongue out, he took aim at the Mightyena and charged at it with impressive speed one wouldn't expect from a Charmander. He leaped threw the air and threw his fist at the Mightyena, attempting a Super Effective Brick Break on the creature.
Whips merely looked behind him and watched the events unfold, he then turned back to look at the poacher with a impatient expression on his face. He then precised to give the ground a few quick stomp, letting loose a mild Earthquake in an attempt to cause the man to loose his balance, but not to hurt him. Though Whips was certainly capable of doing a much stronger attack, his intentions weren't to harm the poacher. Instead he merely pointed at the black Pokeball and let out a moderately loud growl. Whips made his intentions clear, he wanted to fight this "Demon" the man kept bragging about, and he didn't want to deal with all the bull to get to the fight! Just like Whips, always over eager to get a fight underway...
"Listen, whoever you are, I think you should take our offer, I mean, if you really want a shot at an easy capture", Curt said while keeping one eye on the man and the other on Embertail and Jasper, "besides, I can tell how much you want to show off this "Demon" of yours, you aren't going to get a much better excuse then a Dragonite like Whips, besides, I think everyone here really wants to see it too!"
