((Holy crap that took long ;-
)
[Hours prior to the Liepard attack]
The young trainer smiled at Jacob's friendly question and gave him an easy response. "If I were to be completely honest with ya. I don't think I would of chosen to become a dragon tamer if it weren't for that promise I made as a kid. But, after travelling with them for so long on my journeys, I think I've grown rather fond of them." The black haired youth turned his eyes upwards as he carefully watched the shining stars. His smile growing more affectionate as each second ticked by.
"...I kind of think of it as fate. The fact that I ended up as a dragon tamer that is."
The two trainers then fell into a comfortable silence as they continued to travel through the dense foliage of the moonlit forest.

[At the time of the attack]
Sen suddenly lifted his head towards the early dawn sky as his eyes caught the unfamiliar sight of a tall pillar of light ascending to the the heavens. The dragon tamer's eyes slowly widened, as his exhausted mind tried to comprehend the event that was unfolding before him.
"Wha-...?"
Suddenly, a sound of an heavy impact and a resounding crash caught Sen's attention and the young trainer pivoted on his right leg, swerving his body around in a 180 degree turn. What he saw next did not make him feel happy at all. Not one bit.
Sen shifted his eyes, trying to see what had caused his companion to fall and saw a single Leopard standing before him in an arrogant manner. The lean cat's snout curling into a cruel condescending smirk as it waited for its next prey to make his move. The dragon tamer narrowed his eyes in cold fury as his brain raced to observe the unexpected adversary that dared to mock him - his exhaustion forgotten in the heat of the moment.
Liepards were not a part of route 11's natural ecosystem and the forest area that the group was currently located in was still considered to be 'route 11.' This feline was definitely not a wild Pokemon and that meant that their group was being attacked an unknown force, presumably Team Plasma. It seems that the organization had caught up with them and had decided to mount an offensive. which also meant that the pillar of light just now was a sign of their group's second half being attacked by the nation's criminals. It seems he would have to move quickly.
As the young gym protege finished up his thoughts, he heard the rustling of bushes and quickly reached for the pokeballs attached to his belt. Watching, as six more Liepards leapt out of the brushes to join up with their lone comrade.
Sen clicked his tongue in annoyance. The situation just got a lot more bothersome. But then again, odds like these were what made battling so fun for him in the first place.
The dragon tamer's blood boiled and his battle persona kicked in as his body went into overdrive mode.
Wasting no time, the young trainer deftly picked out two pokeballs from his remaining four and threw them up into the air.
"Mystia, Breaker. I'll be counting on you two." And in a flash of white fire, an angry Land Shark and a moderately calm Kingdra were called upon the field of battle.
The once confident cats took a step back in both fear and surprise as they looked at the intimidating figures that stood before them. Their easy prey was no longer so easy anymore. The black haired youth spared a cold glance over the Cruel Pokemon before turning his icy eyes upon his pissed off Garchomp. The dragon still hadn't had the chance to reimburse the thief that stole his quiche after all.
"Breaker." The dragon turned his head back to look at his trainer, the glint in his eyes begging the young man to let him loose his frustrations upon the dark felines. Seeing his Pokemon so restless, the ends of Sen's lips slowly curled upwards. Upon seeing the malicious smile, the Liepards shuddered as though the warm summer night air had dropped down by several degrees.
"There won't be enough here that will satisfy your foul mood big guy." The shark-like Pokemon proceeded to stare inquisitively at his master when he heard the young man's discouraging words. What the heck was he supposed to do then?
"But, over there." A thumb was pointed towards the trail that snaked into the forest depths behind the young trainer's back. "Is a whole 'nother story." Sen gave the Garchomp a hard look in the eye. "I'll give you full permission to go all out Breaker. Just don't hurt any of my friends alright?"
Breaker broke out into an excited grin as he nodded at his trainer's words. It had been a long time since the last time he'd been allowed to go all out and the Dragon Pokemon was starting to get more excited then usual. After a momentary wait to savor the rare occasion, the Garchomp disappeared in a burst of speed and left nothing but a loud sonic boom as he sped off into the forest at mach speeds. Knocking down trees, left and right, as he went.
Sen briefly chuckled quietly to himself, as he watched his enthusiastic Pokemon go, before turning to his head towards his silent aquatic dragon.
"Well Mystia, you can go ahead and do whatever you want with these kittens. I'm gonna go and help Jacob out." And with that, the Opelucid's trainer calmly, yet quickly at the same time, moved towards his fallen companion and immediately started to perform first aid on the unconscious bleeding man.
Meanwhile, Mystia the Kingdra turned towards her opponents, enshrouded herself in a hellstorm of hail and prepared herself for the slaughter ahead. However, before She let loose her attack, the graceful Pokemon briefly pondered whether to encase her pristine scales in a layer of frost or not as she moved in on her despairing game. Frozen blood was quite annoying to clean up after all.
~...~
Breaker sped through the forest at breakneck speeds as he rush towards the sounds of battle. Taking no notice as the winds generated by his large fins cut down the unlucky trees that stood at his sides. All the hammer-head Pokemon cared about right now was to let loose his fury. Besides, his trainer had given him the rare permission to go all out and that only happened when his master was downright furious or upset. He would have to make the best of this fight...He still really wanted that quiche though.
After a few more seconds of jet streaming, the Garchomp saw the other human friends of his master and grinned wildly. Finally. He'd arrived. The large Land Shark Pokemon then threw up a large dust cloud as he skid to a stop in front of the group of humans and let loose a thunderous roar that immediately dispersed the cloud of dust he'd caused a moment prior. However, after taking a few second to looking around his surroundings, Breaker felt disappointed. There were only five of those little cats left and it didn't seem like anymore would be coming. Whatever. He would just have to make do.
The Garchomp's wild grin became more feral as his eyes widened and the dragon Pokemon took a brief second to gather up some dense energy within his maw. 'Let's get rid of the group to my left first' and with a thought along those lines, Breaker opened his jaws wide and carelessly fired an unusually compact
Hyper Beam at the group of dumbfounded Liepards.
