((Sorry for my slowness~))
A Meowth and a Riolu faced off, each standing in opposite directions as they awaited for the other to make a move. A feline and a canine, both stood on hind legs. Though this was the natural stance for the Riolu, it wasn't very common for a Meowth to do so. Uncommon, but not impossible. The Pokemon glared at each other with complete focus, oblivious to anything else around them, the Riolu with one hand closer to its chest while the other was stretched out with the palm of the hand directed at the cat Pokemon, legs spread apart in a fighting stance. The Meowth had a similar stance, but claws were unsheathed in both paws.
Finally the Riolu moved. In a blink of an eye, it dashed right toward the Meowth. The blue Pokemon raised his hand to perform a Force Palm attack, but the Meowth saw it coming. No match against a fighting type move, it bent its legs and jumped out of the way. Riolu's attack met with thin air, but that didn't phase him. Using the momentum from the run, he spun on one leg while raising the other, directing a plain kick to the Meowth. Unable to dodge it, the feline was struck and went sailing through the air. Recovering himself, Meowth was able to land on all fours before reaching the ground, and then dashed forward. Drawing an arm back, it began to glow and he directed it right at the Riolu. Trying to regain his own composure from the kick he delivered, Riolu was hit directly by the move known as Aerial Ace. A cry escaped him and it was his turn to skid through the air. But though damaged, he caught himself and dashed back toward the Meowth. Now both Pokemon faced off with plain scratches, kicks, and punches, dodging one another while trying to get as many hits in. At one point Riolu saw an opening. The tips of his "fingers" on one hand grew to a dark purple color, and he gave a Poison Jab right to the Meowth's chest. A grunt escaped the cat, falling backward, and with the opposite hand Riolu gave him a Force Palm. Releasing a cry of his own, the feline fell back and landed on the ground, but quickly turned over back to his feet. About to make a counter move, a voice stopped their fighting.
"Alright you two, that's enough training for one day."
A young male of about 15 stepped away from a tree he had been sitting under, crossing his arms and looking to the two Pokemon with a half-hearted frown. "I told you two you could train on your own if you didn't get carried away again, but as always you didn't listen."
Riolu and Meowth both breathed heavily from the fight, both standing before the other but no longer making fighting stances. Instead, both balled one paw into a fist and then placed them in the open palm of the opposite paw, dipping their heads slightly giving a bow to one another. They then grinned at each other and went to the black-haired male, who waited patiently for them. Shaking his head as if disappointed, but really amused, he tried his best to hide a smile and raised a Pokeball. "Alright, Riolu, time for you to get some rest." A red light shot out from the contraption and enveloped the canine-like Pokemon, and in an instant he was gone. Returning the Pokeball on his belt, he sat under the tree once more and braced his back to it. The Meowth crawled over (no longer fighting, he went back to walking on all fours), curling up under the shade to have a nice nap.
((Sorry about that ^.^'))
