Lulu watched as the large Rock Pokemon rumbled and grumbled to consciousness, setting their large eyes directly upon her. While they definitely had the size advantage, that hardly accounted for anything in a one on one fight. The Lucario didn't even react when the Onix vocalized its annoyance.
Daedra remained in back with Niel to observe. Unlike her Pokemon, the redhead did have a bit of an uneasy expression on her features. Though, not necessarily for the reason one might expect.
"Try not to go overboard, Lulu," her trained offered in warning.
The Aura Pokemon casually glanced over her shoulder in assurance before squaring up for business. Only for the Onix to coil themselves back up in dismissal. Now that--- had Lulu reacting. The canine's features scrunched in outright anger from the audacity! To be brushed off like she was a tiny Joltik(though no offense to the tiny electric types), namely when she counted herself as a Champion.
Lulu's aura readers perked up and bristled. She might have attempted firmer verbal persuasion, on behest of her trainer, but not anymore. If the Rock type thought her something to ignore, then Lulu was determined to be a nuisance.
Holding her two paws out, the Lucario drew them back to her one side, leaving a gap between her inner pads. Immediately, a blip of light formed within the space, quickly growing and expanding as Lulu concentrated. Without warning or command, she fired the purple sphere of energy right at the Onix, smacking them right at the crest.
The Aura Sphere, though smaller than expected, had enough punch that sent the dosing Rock Pokemon tumbling into an ungraceful heap farther down the tunnel. A large plume of dust billowed up from where they collided and it wasn't long before the Onix was up and shaking themselves from the shock of the blow.
Silhouetted in the dusty mist, the loomed once again, before setting an angry glare and a roar at the pitiful creature that bothered them. Now the Rock Pokemon was mad!! All it wanted a nap-- and now this!
They'd bring the tunnel down! They shatter the very ceiling on all of them! They'd grab and constrict and crush thier---
A burst of energy suddenly darted right passed the side of the Onix's head, crashing into a nearby wall. The force of it left a noticeable crater in the stone, now weakened and crumbling.
All thought and action from the Rock Pokemon dulled.
Evaluating their circumstances, the Onix took an executive decision and.... retreated. Whipping around, they immediately dove their face into a patch of sandy floor and dug, dug, dug away!
The blue creature was small, but clearly had the speed and type advantage well over the Onix. Best to retreat and run away, so to do battle another day!
The passageway tremored a bit as the large Pokemon buried itself through some of the flooring, but went still in a few moments. Once seeing the way clear, Lulu jerked her head with small bark, before brushing her large paws together to clear the dust from them.
With the trouble settled, in a manner that Daedra didn't count too poorly, the redhead turned to Niel once again.
"There's no need to turn back now," she informed him happily. Clearly not a care in the world again! "I knew Lulu could handle it, and we barely had to fight them! Though, I hope all the shaking and noise hasn't bothered your bugs~"
