While her companions had moved on, Angel and Ares were staring down the Poochyena. The Poochyena attacked first, charging Ares with a Bite attack. "Jump, and use Stone Edge!" Angel called, to which Ares complied. Ares leapt into the air, and landed behind the Poochyena. As Ares landed, he slammed his fist into the ground, sending jutting stones at the Poochyena. Poochyena was struck, and was sent flying back. The canine Pokemon quickly regained it's balance, and charged, this time, it's fangs taking on an icy-blue glow.
"Dark Pulse!" Angel called. Ares, following his trainer's wish, unleashed a Dark Pulse attack on the Poochyena, sending it skidding back. She didn't bother using the phrase so many trainers seemed fond of, she just threw the Fast Ball. It dematerialized the Poochyena, and began to shake. Once... Twice... Thrice... Click! And it was caught. Angel went over to the Fast Ball and picked it up, letting the Poochyena out. She healed it with a potion, before crouching down and staring at it, eye-level. "Hey, Poochyena. Would you like to come with me on a journey?" She asked. The Poochyena closed it's eyes, obviously pondering the decision. After a moment, it opened it's eyes again and nodded. "Great! So, before we head off, a quick question. Guy?" The Poochyena nodded. "Alright, then how does the name Ajax sound?" The Poochyena smiled, seemingly fond of the name. "Alright then, Ajax. Let's head off to that casino."
Angel was surprised that the bouncer let her in, but she didn't complain. Said her friend had an "emergency." She didn't question it. Upon looking around, she realized the place was mostly empty. It didn't take her long to spot her companions. "The bouncer told me what you said. Smart." She complimented, as she walked past them to get her food. Three steaks and a large bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy. She sat down at the table, before she asked: "Did I miss anything?"
