Markus was not familiar with Bagon, at all. He was not aware it was a Dragon Type, historically dangerous in all varieties, and he was not aware the thing evolved into Salamance, a Pokemon rather infamous for being deadly.

Markus stood up to his full height. Tsunami and the Bagon, both impressed by sheer height factor despite the fact Markus was hardly tall by human standards, quickly decided to try to out-height the other. The little Dragon type quickly proved higher by an inch, puffing out its stomach and reaching for the sky, and Tsunami tried getting higher, even trying the tips of its very tiny toes to get the edge, but the Bagon clearly won.

"Tackle it!"

If it wasn't for Markus' order, Tsunami might have came off as a sore loser, but with a chest wide-open for sending a good distance in the backwards direction, even Markus could realize the opportunity. The Bagon was caught off guard and send several steps backwards as a shell'd cretaure's shoulder collided with his stomach, but quickly recovered. This wasn't going to be like the Drowzee fight, Markus could tell.

The Bagon did a gesture quite similar to a Tauros preparing to charge but not quite ready yet, but only once-then it rushed forwards, head first, in a far more brutal attempt to get at poor Tsunami. Having it's head straight forward meant its eyes were ground-wards, unable to check if Tsunami had moved away.

"Get out of the way!"

Tsunami certainly tried, but it wasn't terribly fast on its own. Heavy turtle shell and all that. It didn't get the full brunt but got slammed in the back at an odd angle, sending poor Tsunami another several steps away and making it spin on its shell, disorienting it.

You would think, given the opportunity to utterly dominate a dizzied opponent, that the Bagon would have the common sense to attack it. Instead, it seemed that pride got the better of it and it dared to again attempt the puffing up gesture it did to Tsunami...To Markus. Unfortunately for it, Markus could kneel down and still be higher than it, and once again did it present a highly target-able stomach for pounding, right in front of him.

"...Really?"

Markus kicked the Bagon in the chest, sending it backwards a considerable difference. The Bagon may have been a bit stupid and young, but come on. It didn't look terribly old, but it was already attacked once when it did that, did it think a second time would do anything? Probably did, somehow. Plus, the Bagon was dangerous, even if a bit stupid and young. The Drowzee that Tsunami miraculously two-shot was still capable of KOing a policeman (in a group), and could probably have still put up a fight had Tsunami failed to hit the head. Markus had a right to defend himself.

IF he had known Bagon was a Dragon type previously, he may have reconsidered that strategy. It was now looking angrily at HIM. Tsunami, meanwhile, had gotten out of spinning around dazed, and stood back up, ready for more action.

The Bagon's mouth began to, err, burn with some odd blue flame in its mouth. It was like ember, but, well, blue, which really just put a whole new spin on this battle. Markus did not recognize Bagon as a Dragon right up until then, for he HAD seen Dragonbreath in action, on televison. It was...Not fun to get hit by it. Not fun at all. Markus looked around-rather enclosed space, and the Bagon did not make the mistake of positioning it's head in such a manner that it could not easily turn to direct the attack towards him. It was not a short-range attack either. He really couldn't run.

Rookie mistakes. From a rookie, true, but still. Pokemon training Rule number 1: It is ALWAYS more dangerous than it seems.

Markus quickly looked to Tsunami, proving it really did happen quite fast. "Tackle!!!"

Tsunami managed to ram into the Bagon fast enough to stop the Dragonbreath, mercifully, but it was very close. Blue embers sprouted from its mouth in considerable excess, and Tsunami didn't look very pleased to take the blow, but it would have been worse had it been a proper attack rather than an unintentional release of energy. THe Bagon itself seemed to equally have taken it's own attack-probably worse, actually. Dragon types are considerably strong against one another. It didn't look terribly strong.

"Thank you, so much!" Markus said, addressing Tsunami quickly.

"Squirtle!"

"NOw then..." Markus added, reaching for a Poke Ball.

The Bagon was not done with Markus nor Tsunami, and it turned to stare at Tsunami, then back at Markus as he approached. Tsunami hit it more, so it was going to get more attention...Right as it seemed to start moving in an offensive manner, however, Markus casually tossed the Poke Ball onto the Bagon, hitting it right in the head.

This would hardly count as an attack, but it was a Poke Ball. for the first time in his life, the Poke Ball sucked in a Pokemon, and the wriggling began...Back and forth...Back and forth...Back and forth...Back and forth...
