"…Hell, I'll give ya one. On the house."

"Thanks, 'Vire."

He took the glass and took a sip of it, looking around.

"You know, you haven't been around here as often as you were," 'Vire commented as he wiped a glass mug.

"I know, right?" He smirked to him. "Again, things have been coming and going…"

"And that friend of yours you met here—"

"Please don't mention him again." He took another long sip.

"Why not?"

"Just don't ask… So what changed around here?"

"New, younger guys. Not exactly getting to my type of bar anymore…"

"Sorry to hear about to that." He took another sip. "I dunno, things change much."

"Well on your account they do."

"Shut up."

After that small conversation, Luxray kept on with his formal silence as he drank his glass, looking down and, as always there, reminiscing. Reminiscing on what? Only Luxray knows.

Only five minutes into his deep thought, a loud yell came about on the other side of the bar. Both Luxray and 'Vire turned to what that yell was as the whole bar went silent, turning to the episode. It was a Machoke standing up, looking at a Breloom, both glaring at each other in irate.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU GONNA DO? YOU BETTER NOT DO SHIT!" The Machoke screamed out. The Breloom stood up right after.

"WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO? YOU AIN'T GONNA DO SHIT!" The Breloom screamed right after. Just then, the Pokémon around them held the two apart, only to have the two being held down attempting to be free. Luxray couldn't help by leap down and walk to the episode.

"Ray, don't…" 'Vire started to say.

"Hold on, hold on…" Luxray responded, "Just have to see this…" He walked up to the group, nearly with the face-to-face action. "The hell is going on over here?"

"FUCK OFF BEFORE I KILL YOU!" the Machoke yelled out to Luxray. Luxray didn't flinch at him.

"I just want to know what you two are arguing about."

"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE!" The Machoke yelled out again. He pulled strong enough for his retainers to finally break and managed to pull a punch at Luxray. He only swayed to the right. Machoke then pulled ever swing he could at Luxray, Luxray getting hit on every other punch; the Breloom was still pissed, but didn't pull forward.

Luxray held his head down and headbutted the Machoke's stomach, then headbutted under his chin. Machoke tripped back, quickly recovering. "Why did you attack?" Luxray responded in the same tone as before. Machoke only swung more, Luxray ducking from the hooks and swung one himself with his right paw. It hit Machoke, moving away from the table and into the main floorboard, mostly everyone near their table, while some others only want to get up close, pulling out their devices to record another fight from the "blue guy" again.

Machoke came forth and Karate Chopped at Luxray, landing near his neck. It almost forced Luxray to go down, but barely had enough energy to hold himself back up from his first drop. Luxray only charged up his electricity.

Machoke came forth and decided to go on with Close Combat. He came close by and kept on with brute strength, fist by fist, at Luxray. Nine blows to his face and body, Luxray used a small spark, cancelling out whatever little Machoke had left and launched him out, breaking his fall and landing on a knee. Luxray didn't run toward him but only glared at him. Those around him murmured to each other, saying how this was different than before; that this wasn't the way he used to fight back in the day.

The Machoke ran forward toward Luxray, swinging another right. Luxray ducked under him and perked up, zapping the foe's body a bit before headbutting him forward. Machoke struggled to stay as he was thrown back; Luxray only spark again at Machoke, a stronger lighting strike this time, blasting Machoke against the wall. He fell down, grunting as he struggled to get up. He held himself up for a moment, only to be brought back down from his wounds.

Luxray slowly walked up to him, looking down to him, glaring.

"Think you're all that, eh?" Luxray asked. Machoke looked up at him as he continue to struggle to get back up. Luxray smirked. "Come back once you learned to wipe your ass." He turned to the Breloom as he lost all the hate within his expression, looking away. Luxray turned around and walked back to his chair, taking one more sip and walked off to the doors.

"Not gonna finish it?" 'Vire asked. Luxray shook his head.

"Give it to that youngster on the floor," he responded, "He seems to need it."


Other than the fight described, that's kinda how I've seen fights start at my school… For all four years, really…
