There's only a couple of days left until the month ends and that means that Tuesday will spend all her time online (which generally isn't much to begin with, expect on Tuesdays) right here in the Steppes. There's hunting to do! So much more hunting to do. Is she running out of inventory space? Yes. Will that stop her? Not until she can no longer buy upgrades.
So, she takes a deep breath while standing atop of a small hill, and taking a good look at her surroundings, she steps forward — towards the place where the Giant Shrine had once been. In her experience, Steel types tend to wander near that place, and it may or may not have to do with the shrine still being right there...thousands of feet up in the air.
Maybe later she'll ask Ash for her thoughts on this theory, but for now, it's time for her to go hunting.

"It's going to rain soon." Tuesday mentions when looking at the sky, her golden gaze watching those dark clouds that speak of thunder and downpour.
<'Water won't stop us.'> Tyrfing is right, of course. The hunt must go on, rain or not. Plus, it kind of makes things more interesting, doesn't it? Adds to the challenge.
Tuesday smirks at that.
"No, it sure won't."

The coming storm does, however, stop the Ponyta that had been calmly grazing in the fields until now. When the first droplets come, no more than a light drizzle at best, it whinnies in displeasure and runs to find someplace to shield itself from the weather.
Tuesday does not follow.
Instead, she continues down the same path as before, making her way towards the shrine... or the place where the shrine once was.

Tuesday had learned the hard way that umbrellas are of no use with the wind of the Steppes. She does, however, switch from her glorious RAINBOW FLAME CLOAK of white pearlescent feathers to a burgundy cloak of waxed cotton. A cloak that happens to have a heavy hood to shield her from the rain, also keeping Tyrfing protected.
"This should do unless the wind gets really bad." She says, securing the cloak's brooch. On they go, then. Unless....

Unless something catches her eye.
Earth displaces seemingly all by itself a few feet ahead, and Tuesday watches out of sheer curiosity. It's a Drilbur, of course. A Drilbur that pokes it head out from beneath the ground, feels the rain falling on it, and goes right back into its hole. It also doesn't want to get wet.
Tuesday shakes her head at its antics, laughing lightly before returning to her trek.

There's something soothing about the sound of falling rain; that steady and constant rhythm with which drops crash against fabric and soil alike. It brings back memories of childhood days. Memories of football (soccer) practice in the rain and even much older ones of jumping right into puzzles so the water would splash everywhere. It's strange... Mars rarely thinks of those innocent early childhood days before his family took him to Madrid, but this rain Tuesday is under brings reminders of it.
She walks silently now, her smile having faded. Many wouldn't understand it, but for Mars, even those happy memories are tainted.

Most Duraludon don't like rain. That is something Tuesday had learned about them when the Professor had first requested that they bring some for her, which of course meant the Alchemist did her due diligence and looked up the species in order to find out if they had any exploitable weaknesses. So, aware of this as she is, what does Tuesday think when she sees a Duraludon not far from her path: - It must have been caught offguard by the change in weather
- It must be really annoyed
- It must also be distracted
"Bingo." Now she does smirk, the word a whisper. Instead of reaching for Tyrfing, she reaches for the spear at her back first, and readying her with a deep breath, Tuesday gets a running start and throws it like a javelin. "ALEXA!"The IMMOVABLE SPEAR is activated as soon as it pierces through a duralumin hide, trapping the dragon. "Let's go, Tyrfing!" And so, Tuesday and the Honedge charge too.

The Duraludon had in fact been distracted, but not only by the rain. It had been lured out to the open field by a little Shinx that jumps back and hisses when the dragon is suddenly attacked.
"I should have known it'd be you." Yuze says when seeing Tuesday, unbothered by her sudden appearance and by the fact that she had just attacked the Duraludon he had found. "Hala, attack it too."
The Shinx shakes in the rain, as if trying to shake off her surprise, and then, as commanded, she hits the Duraludon with an electric charge.

"Aha! I was wondering how it had ended up out here. Duraludon usually hide from the rain."
It's a fact, look up their PokéDex entry!
Yuze is a familiar sight in this place, so Tuesday returns her attention to the dragon for now, keeping it distracted with a feint blow that results in Tyrfing disappearing from her hand and striking from behind. SHADOW SNEAK. The Duraludon struggles, trapped as it is, retaliating with a BREAKING SWIPE that makes the Alchemist duck.

Thankfully for Hala, she is very small. Small enough to go right under the Duraludon's attack. The rain is still an annoyance and she's probably not a fan of how muddy her paws are getting, but those are things she can deal with. Yuze sure won't coddle her.
"Keep going." He tells her when she looks his way, unyielding as ever.

Even if this is all virtual reality, she makes sure to keep her breathing steady, fighting with Tyrfing in hand in what has now become a steady rhythm. A dance. She kicks the Duraludon, pushing it back onto the spear, and then does a broad swing, bringing the Honedge down on the dragon. Tyrfing cuts and slashes, thirsty for blood.
Of course, Duraludon don't actually have any blood, but the Honedge will be satisfied with victory all the same, Tuesday knows as much.

The battle develops just as Yuze had expected, and although Hala is definitely nowhere close in strength to Tuesday and her Pokémon, she does her part all the same.
I should work on making my Pokémon stronger, though. He thinks, but of course, that means spending bytes, and at the moment Yuze has other priorities for his in-game money. That's just the way it goes.

"Ha. Not bad." When the Duraludon attempts to slash her with sharp claws, Tuesday shields with her arms, duralumin meeting the steel of her vambraces. The strength of the dragon pushes her back all the same, and with a deep breath, she finds herself smirking.
The reason she smirks is that at that very moment, while she has the Duraludon distracted, Tyrfing slashes on her own, causing a pained cry in their prey, which intensifies when Tuesday attacks with her dagger.

They're almost done. He can see it clearly: the Duraludon can barely stand anymore and its attacks have become progressively weaker.
"One more." Yuze tells Hala with a cold stare and a nod, watching her growl at the dragon that towers over her and run to bite right into its arm. Good. He reaches for his Golden Pokémon.

Yuze may be ready to capture the Duraludon, but Tuesday... Tuesday is never done until her prey is unconscious. So, with Tyrfing in her right hand once more and the dagger in the left, she readies one last blow — one that is sure to bring down the dragon.
A radiant grin illuminates her expression the moment she strikes, one that does not fade even when the Duraludon withstands her attack.
"Looks like the last hit is yours. Make it count!" She tells both Yuze and the little cat.
