Hitmonlee skidded back, still holding his ground, using a Bulk Up prior managed mitigated some of the damage. Matt looked at the turn of the events that escalated. He thought only for a second, before getting a fired up smile and doubled down. "Oh, you wanna rough house huh?" He looked directly at Dracozolt and Salasa, seeing the monstrosity of a pokemon run after directly at Hitmonlee, Matt smiled, "Let's tango! Hitmonlee block that Dragon Tail with a Blaze Kick!" He ordered, pointing his finger forward as Hitmonlee ran forward, he skipped in the air, twirling his body as a small ring of fire formed as he spun before it connected with the tail to show a concentrated ball of fire on Hitmonlee's right leg. Hit jumped back and folded its arms together. "Aw, yeah, that's what we do! Now Hitm-" Suddenly Hitmonlee glowed red and blasted back directly into Matt's pocket, Matt pulled the Pokeball out of his pocket stared for a few moments, "Well, at least I didn't drop you." Suddenly a white flash blasted out, revealing Roselia as it did its generic poses, Matt walked up to Roselia, picking her up and placing it on his shoulders. "Well, note to self, you can't block any form of returning moves." Matt sighed and stared at the two, folding his arms and looking away. "Good job, I'm not apologizing... Huh?" He looked as a strange man walked up to the group, at this point Roselia jumped down from Matt's shoulders and ran in front of Salasa and Kia, smiling and waving at them to acknowledge them meeting again.
Matt shook his head and tried to converse with the stranger to him, "Looking good buddy, but I take specifically Twenty-three percent of the blame on this one," He points directly at Salasa and Kia, "You can blame The Lady and Salsa boy over the- Roselia!?" His attention finally got fixated on his Roselia "No, don't say hi to them! The Lady doesn't uphold deals!" Matt said as he began to tap his foot, Roselia looked at Kia with a shocked expression and stuck her tongue out and jumped back over to Matt, pointing at Jake and Alex in confusion. "Oh, they seem chill, don't know about that guy though." He pointed at Seth, Matt snapped his fingers and pointed his thumb at his chest. "Names Matt Maroon, future champion, nice to meet you, as long as you uphold commitments anyways..."
