[X] My Assistant

[Jojo McDodd]

((ARRRGH))

The waitress stopped by Ara's table. "Welcome to the Blue Myu! Do you have an idea of what you want?"

Ara smiled. "Yes, I'd like the Spoink bacon with Chatot eggs and a nice tall glass of Miltank milk." Buckie looked up. "I'll have the... Seadra steak with... um... that's it." The waitress' eyes widened at the talking Squirtle, but she said nothing. "Okey! Your order will be here shortly!" She hurried off a bit quickly.

Ara scowled at Buckskin. "I've told you a billion times, that creeps people out! Tell me what you want and I'll do it!" In her anger, she knocked her fork off the table. "Ohhhh!"

Buckie raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. "Calm down. What else would I use my gift for? If you've got it, use it." She resumed stroking her furry ears into place.

John was finishing up his chicken when he looked over and saw a younger girl talking to her Squirtle... and oddly enough, the Squirtle was actually speaking back to the trainer. John was a little taken back by the site and started choking on his food, dropping his fork on the ground in the process. He took a sip of the water and cleared out the food, and he let out a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me chaps, but something just sparked my interest. I'll return in a moment." John stood up wiping his face with a napkin.

"Excuse me chaps," said John, "but something just sparked my interest. I'll return in a moment." He moved over to another's table, where a girl and a Squirtle both sat. Matt shrugged, eating the last decadent morsels of the meal, throwing a couple bites to Shock. The Shinx yawned, looking at Matt contentedly. The trainer was about ready to go to sleep, too. He had been walking for days, sleeping near and on top of trees. A nice bed would be good.

The waitress came out. "Gentlemen, if you're done, here's your check. Not to be rude, but we're closing up soon- the manager's daughter has broke her leg- and I'd appreciate it if you'd pay promptly."

Matt winked. "'Course, dear. In fact-" he took out his wallet and grabbed the check, putting both under the table. He didn't want Etnie or Gatsby to see his money, but for different reasons. He wanted a friend who didn't like him for his money, and he also didn't want to get mugged at night. He pulled 1000 Poke out, (though the bill was only for 750 Poke) tucking it nicely in the leather-binded receipt holder.

"Keep the change."

"Of course, sir!" responded the girl, looking slightly shocked when she saw the tip.

"You know what- stay as long as you like," she added.

"Thank ye very much, but *yaaawn* I'm very tired. I'll be back tomorrow, though- count on it." The girl smiled a little, pleased if not eager for a huge tip once more.

"Well. see ya Gatsby, Etnie. If I do, and it's in the Cup- expect no holding back from me. There's no familiarity in battle."

Matt stood up, Shock getting up with him. "Let's head out."

The two departed, waving goodbye to Gatsby and Etnie as Matt held the door for Shock. "Let's just head for the Pokemon Center, eh? If we win this cup, we'll sleep in a hotel for a week straight." As the two walked in, the nurse was carrying some Pokeballs behind the counter.

"Ah, it's you. Did you enjoy the restaurant? Oh, here's your Pokemon back, fully freshed and restored!" She handed Matt his Pokemon.

"It was magnifique, as the French say." The nurse smiled.

"I'm glad to hear it."

"Nurse, I'd like to buy a room for the night."

"Very well, sir. It's 300 Poke a night, but...free for you, tonight." Matt was shocked.

"You sure, nurse?" She nodded.

"Just don't tell anyone, *wink*."

"Thank you kindly." She handed him a set of keys from a hook behind the desk.

"Room 3."

Matt head up the staircase to a hallway of about 20 rooms.

"1...2...3!" Easy as Dra-ti-ni.

The trainer inserted the key, and headed into a quaint room. Sparsely furnished with a bed, one chair, a nightstand, and a closet, it smelled soothingly of oak. Matt yawned. It had been a long day.

"Come out, guys." He opened the 3 Pokeballs, and Croagunk, Neil, and Tiff appeared in varying poofs of smoke and lightning. "Bed time." He threw some pillows down for the Pokemon, and they lay down, Matt quickly changed clothes, and hopped into the bed. He settled down, as well.

"Shiiiiinx," came a quiet howl. Matt, who was almost asleep, cracked an eye open to notice Shock's staring at him.

"Hey buddy," he muttered quietly so not to wake the others, "what's up? Can't sleep?" The Shinx howled again, licking Matt's hand.

"Here's a pillow." He threw a fourth pillow down next to the bed. Shock stared at him.

"Tch, fine. You can sleep in the bed with me, but only this once."

"Shiiiinx!" The Flash Pokemon jumped up, twirled around three times, and sat squarely on top of Matt's chest.

Matt slept soundly that night, Shock having given off layers of warmth.

The morning after, however? Not so great.

John walked over to the little girl and put his hands on her table.

"Hello little lass... I couldn't help but realize your Squirtle spoke. That's quite a rare sight."

John looked at the Pokemon, in a confused manner.

Oh wait... I totally forgot about my Pokemon. John realized as he saw Matthew leave the restaurant.

"I'm sorry to have interrupted your meal... but you must excuse me." John said. He bowed, and spun around, knocking the flier for the tournament out of his pocket as he walked out. He walked out just a little after Matthew, but he was out of sight by the time he got out the door. John walked over back into the Pokecenter, where the nurse was waiting their with his two Pokemon.

"Here you go sir. Your Pokemon are fully healed, so they should be fine, but be careful not to get your Pokemon injured." The nurse said as she handed John his Pokeballs back.

"Will do ma'm... Um... this is kind of embarrassing... but can I stay on the circular couch here in the center? I have no money to really pay for a room or anything, and I have nowhere to go." John said as he placed his Pokeballs back on his belt.

"Well... I guess I see no problem with that sir. Just, try not to take up too much room." The nurse proclaimed.

"Of course ma'm. Thank you for your hospitality." John said, bowing to the nurse. John walked off and took a seat on the couch, letting Char and Joker out of their Pokeballs. Joker went flying around and took refuge in a nearby portrait, where it took control of the eyes and looked around. John laughed and removed his trenchcoat and placed it on the ground next to the couch. Char looked up at John, and then laid down and closed its eyes. John went to let out Cobalt, but then got to thinking how Cobalt had been acting lately.

John looked back and forth and then finally decided he should just keep Cobalt inside for the night so that he didn't cause commotion. John then laid down using one of the armrests as a pillow, and closed his to fall asleep.

[Jojo McDodd]

Ara's stomach turned as the mysterious man left. "Wow. Someone who isn't entirely freaked out at you."

Socrates, however, ran over to the window and pressed her nose against it. "Quiiiii!" She was watching the man enter the nearby Pokemon Center.

Buckie grinned mischeviously. "Maybe he'd appreciate an autograph." Her eyes glowed blue as she summoned water into her throat, ready for a battle. "Don't you want a little practice?"

Ara sighed. "You are such a dictator!"

"Awesome," said Buckie and leapt onto her partner's shoulder. "Don't forget Sock." Ara returned her father's Cyndaquil into its Pokeball.

As she left the room, the waitress placed a "Closed" sign on the door of the cafe. "Well, we've never really been in a Pea-Cea before, have we, Buckles? Home healing always worked for us. Well, here goes..." Ara stepped towards the door cautiously and jumped as the door whizzed open automatically. Buckskin laughed. "Shut up!" said Ara harshly, embarrased.

"Loosen up, Miss Ara. Jeez- it ain't the Apocalypse. Oh, look, there's that guy." Buckskin ran over to the unfamiliar man. "Hey. I'm Buckskin. You were interested in my.. differences?" Buckie waggled her furry tail and twitched her ears.

[Etnie]

Matt decided to pay for the bill, and Gatsby had wandered off to see the girl who had entered the restaurant.
Matt left promptly after paying and was soon followed by Gatsby. He could see them walking back to the pokemon center to receive their pokemon.

"Guess it's best that I leave as well" Etnie stood, and took one last sip of his water and put it back on the table. Now I wish I wouldn't have turned down dinner. He began to walk out and head towards the pokecenter. Once inside he got back his own pokemon from the nurse. He looked outside and saw that it was now dark outside but the streets still glowed with neon signs and streetlights. He didn't seem tired but more hungry. "I'm still not too familiar with this city, better go check it out and find some food. Plus I always have been more of a night person anyway.

He started to walk out when he noticed Gatsby on the nearby couch. He doesn't have some money for a room?
Seems as someone needs that prize money more than others. About that time the girl from the restaurant came through the door. She seemed a little shocked when the doors opened automatically. "Loosen up, Miss Ara. Jeez- it ain't the Apocalypse. Oh, look, there's that guy." who was that talking just now? the only person I can see is the girl The girl's squirtle ran right by Etnie and up to the near sleeping Gatsby "Hey. I'm Buckskin. You were interested in my.. differences?" Buckie waggled her furry tail and twitched her ears. In shock, Etnie turned around and pulled out his pokedex. "Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle pokemon"

"Wait that squirtle can talk?!?!" That's interesting. The only other talking pokemon I've seen was Miyamoto's daughters....."
realizing what he had said, he hoped that the girl didn't hear him or if she did, doesn't know who Miyamoto is.

[Jojo McDodd]

Ara turned around. "Oh, hello." She whispered to Buckie harshly, "See what I meant? Everyone is interested 'cause you talk, and sometimes interest isn't positive! You're gonna be stolen!"

Buckskin sighed. "For the last time, loosen up. Argh." She was pondering the names that her sensitive ears had picked up. Miyamoto's daughters... Why was that name so familiar? Something like a dream, from the past, faded like the clouds on a stormy day...

((CRUD))

[Laughing Jackal]

John was sleeping nice and calm when he heard commotion and someone talking to him a very strange voice. He slowly opened his eyes, first thing he noticed was that the portraits eyes weren't moving anymore. He rubbed his eyes and looked over, and saw a Squirtle talking again, right in front of him. This caused John to jump up real quickly.

"Holy Hell! Bad Squirtle! No sneaking up on people while they are sleeping!" John yelled in a quiet tone.

John realized that as he jumped up, his Pokeball containing Cobalt had flown off his belt and was rolling away. John didn't even think about it, he just sat up on the couch, legs on the ground, and leaned forward. What he didn't realize was that his Pokeball connected with a table, and the legs of the table opened the Pokeball up.

The Mankey sprang out of his Pokeball. It looked around the room and began hopping back and forth. It finally turned and stared at John's eyes.

Oh damn... this isn't going to be pretty.

You could almost see steam rising from the Mankey from how furious it was when it looked at John.

"Oh please don't Cobalt... I'm your owner. Why do you want to hurt me so badly?" John was in a deadlock staredown with Cobalt. John slowly put his left arm on his right bicep, and slid off a sweatband he had been wearing. "You want this Cobalt? It would look good on your head."

Cobalt's anger partially disappeared, and now it changed to wonder. He slowly walked over to John, who was holding out the band, and snatched it quickly. Cobalt sniffed the band, before deciding to place it on his head wear it fit snuggly. Cobalt's anger left almost completely. Just when Cobalt was looking back at John, Joker had placed itself even with John's head, making it look like it had a body.

Cobalt's eyes looked happy for once, and it jumped up beside John, sniffing him.

"That's right Cobalt... I'm not a bad guy. Do you think you could listen to me once and try and get some sleep?"

The Mankey stared for a little bit, then walked down farther on the couch, grabbed a cushion and closed its eyes. Joker on the other hand, disappeared, and once again took refuge in the nearest portrait once more. Char had been staring at what was going through the whole ordeal, but never once got up. He just laid his head down once more, and went back to sleep.

"I don't want to sound rude Squirtle... But tomorrow's a big day for me. So I'm going to for a walk to think. Understood?.. Good. Maybe we'll meet again. Sorry to wake you up Cobalt, but you'll come with me for now so we can bond." John said, patting the Squirtle on the head before waking Cobalt back up. The two looked at each other, and then John led Cobalt out of the Pokecenter and out into the night.

"Alright Cobalt, I think you and me need to bond a little bit. I feel that there is this distance between us, and I want you to accept me as not only your master... but also as a friend."

Cobalt looked up at John as they were walking and let out a little happy noise that is indescribable.

"You see Cobalt... I think that you and me could be a great team and... what the?" John said as a sound met his ear. It was a howl at a moon, but not the sound of a Houndor or anything, it was different. A sad cry. John began to speed up his pace through alleys and up a fire escape until he finally saw the source of the cry. It was a Cubone, standing on the edge of a building, looking up at the half moon.

Thats strange, I wonder whats wrong with that Pokemon... it appears to be a Cubone, and it looks really sad.

John climbed the rest of the fire-escape with his Mankey and slowly approached behind the Cubone. The Cubone stopped its crying and spun around quickly as John got close. The Cubone let out a cry of "Cubone-bone-bone." and readied its bone in a fighting stance.

"No little chap... I don't mean you no harm. I want to get to know you and become friends... what do you say?" John said to the Cubone. The Cubones bone lowered a little as it thought, but it immediately put the bone back up in defense and motioned its other hand as if inviting battle. "I don't want to do this buddy, but if we have to, I will. Cobalt, you think we can do this?" Cobalt looked up at John, adjusted its headband, and nodded.

"Alright Cobalt low kick!" John said, and Cobalt responded by running at the Cubone in a deranged matter. Cobalt kicked with his left foot, but to no avail, the Cubone swung it's bone down and clubbed Cobalt's foot. This made Cobalt furious, causing Cobalt to use Revenge. Cobalt repeatedly hit the Cubone, with its final hit being a hard hit to the skull, causing the skull to spin around.

"Alright Cobalt, good work." John took a Pokeball off his belt, kissed it, and threw it at the Cubone, who still had his skull on backwards. The Pokeball connected, and the Cubone was sucked inside. The ball shook... once... twice... and then for a third time, and the ball laid still. John hoisted his fist in the air in excitement.

"We did it Cobalt! We caught a Cubone, and it's all thanks to you! Thank you so much!" John said as he got down and gave Cobalt a hug. John then got up and walked over to the Pokeball and picked it up, kissing it once more. "Don't worry Cubone, we'll be friends and you won't have to cry anymore. I'm going to call you Cue-Ball." John said before placing the ball back on his belt.

"Alright Cubone, lets get back to the Pokemon Center and get some rest and meet up with Char and Joker."

Cobalt nodded and the two went back to the Pokemon center. About thirty minutes later, John returned to the Pokemon center, which both his Pokemon in Pokeballs. He was exhausted and didn't say anything. He just made a moan noise to the nurse and handed her the two Pokeballs. She nodded and took them to the back to heal them. John then walked over to the couch and passed out.

[Emp]

Charlie scribbled her name down on the sign-up sheet.

“Thank you for entering”, smiled the young woman at the counter, “The tournament starts tomorrow so make sure to get plenty of rest”.

‘I would if I had a place to sleep...’ Charlie’s stomach grumbled again. ‘I need to find somewhere to eat. I could really go for a Burger right now’

Charlie exited the large structure, without direction, she headed towards a place to eat. Most of the streets where dark; people didn’t leave their lights on for some reason. Fortunately, Charlie’s Cyndaquil was perched on her head, serving as quite a warm little flash light.

“Ok Typhu, Lets hurry up... I don’t like the look of this neighbourhood...” Charlie said nervously. It could have been police sirens; it could have been the flock of Murkrow that flew past. Something was freaking her out.

‘I don’t like this!’ Charlie upped her pace until she was sprinting down the shadowy streets - Typhu holding on to her head as best he could.

Suddenly, a pack of Shinx darted out from an alley way, knocking Charlie and Cyndaquil to the floor. Charlie was shaken at first letting out a rather large scream. Cyndaquil rolled into a ball at the sound of her cry.

“Houndour!!” growled the Pokémon in the alleyway, making the pack of Shinx scamper down the street in fear. Charlie stood up and smiled: ‘This Houndour is exactly what I need for this tournament. The way it scared off those Shinx was amazing’.

“Hey, you!” Charlie shouted bravely to the mutt, “If you wanna’ real challenge, fight me!” The Houndour looked at her for a second, considering her offer. It responded by opening its mouth and sending her a fire ball.

“Typhu! Counter it with rollout!” Charlie yelled. Cyndaquil swiftly leaped into the air and started spinning towards Houndour, brushing off the fire ball that was launched at it. Charlie smiled again as Houndour was wacked by Cyndaquil’s rollout.

“I know fire types like the back of my hand”, she boasted to Houndour, “There’s no way you can win.” Houndour snarled at Charlie and headed out of the alleyway.

“Now use quick attack, don’t let him escape!” Cydaquil nodded and sped towards Houndour, knocking it into the wall. “Finish him off with Double-Edge!” She shouted. The echidna tackled Houndour again as it yelped to the floor. Charlie chucked her Pokeball, smiling confidently when the dog had been caught.

“Take a good rest Demon, that prize money is as good as ours!” She said to the Pokeball, “Now all we need to do is find somewhere to eat”, she added as her belly grumbled once more.

[Jojo McDodd]

Buckskin somehow managed to look cool waddling back to her owner. "That weird dude has a point. C'mon, it's time for us to go too." She clawed at her Pokeball until it opened and returned.

Ara sighed. "That Squirtle's just about the neatest thing since PCs, but she's a pain in the butt sometimes..." She crawled, exhausted, out the door and started navigating to her hotel room. But...

"Oh, man, I think I took a wrong turn..." Ara cringed at her shadowy surroundings. She jumped and almost screamed as a voice emenated from the shadows, "Hey, kid, wanna throwdown?"

[Etnie]

As the girl with the squirtle wandered outside, I decided that I might as well go find some place to battle, these pokemon of mine are pretty anxious to fight. As Etnie followed the girl out the door he decided to go towards the center of town. "Hopefully there will be some trainers waiting for me there." While walking down the street the stench of nearby polluted water was in the air. "I don't see how these people live here..." *squish* "whaa.." Etnie looked down to see a manhole with some sort of a goo pushing through the holes. As he steeps back a being pops up from the manhole. He has seen this kind of pokemon before. there is no doubting it, it's a Grimer.

"Go Hippopotas, this should be easy" The pokeball sprinted forward and opened up reveling Hippopotas. "Hip-po" The Grimer was now standing on the sidewalk ready to fight, "I guess he didn't like me stepping on him." Grimer slide forward a threw a pile of sludge from its body at Hippopotas. "Hippopotas, deflect it with sand-attack and follow up with Sand tomb!" The sand hit and slowed the sludge to a halt stopping short of Hippopotas, he then summoned up some sand and sent a wave of sand at the Grimer. The Grimer became surrounded in sand and was trapped. "Nice Hippopotas follow it up with Take Down." The pokemon ran forward and leaped up. He came crashing down on the trapped Grimer. Etnie reaches for his pokeballs and hurls it at the dazed Grimer. "Come on, come on....." *click* The grimer didn't have much fight left in him and didn't struggle much to get released. "Yes, one more to the roster." Hippopotas turned back to Etnie and looked ecstatic. "I see you still like a fight every once in a while." Etnie returned Hippopotas back to his ball and sent out grimer to heal him up. Using one of the potions on hand the grimer was refreshed and healed back up from the battle.

"You can come back now Grimer" The grimer was returned back to his pokeball. "Now Nidoran, Let's go" Etnie threw his pokeball upwards and after the burst a Nidoran came flipping down landing squarely on it's feet. "nido!" The Nidoran turned to face Etnie and looked slightly annoyed. "Yeah, I know there isn't a battle going on right now, just be patient." Nidoran has always been a warrior. He never backs down and is always pumped for a battle.

While continuing on through the city Nidoran's ears perked up. "What, what is it?" then a faint yelp. Etnie turned to his right to see a trainer throwing a pokeball at a houndour. "Finally, a chance to get some real battling in!" Etnie approached the trainer. Nidoran stiffened up to show his power. "That's quite a Cyndaquil you've got there. How about a battle? 2v2?"

[Jojo McDodd]

((Um... are you talking about Sock? Or some other Cyndaquil? I dunno what to post.))

[Etnie]

((Emp. Dynamite, not you, sorry for the confusion))

[Emp]

((Etnie: Sorry if I over-control your character, I just want to get to the battle))

A tall man with striking white hair joined Charlie in the Alleyway, “That's quite a Cyndaquil you've got there. How about a battle? 2v2?"

Charlie gazed at him first; time was drawing dangerously close to midnight, but she had nowhere to go. ’A battle? I guess it would be a good warm up for the tournament tomorrow’

“Sure thing!” She replied, “Your Nidoran doesn’t look bad either”, she added nervously; she was never good at giving compliments. Charlie decided to ignore her stomach for another hour – this battle seemed a lot more interesting.

“So where we gunna battle?” She asked the man. Charlie hadn’t seen anywhere that looked suitable for a battle, never mind a 2vs2.

“Leave that to me...” Etnie replied, exiting the alleyway. Cyndaquil jumped on to Charlie’s shoulder as they both followed him out of the dark alleyway, into the brightly lit streets of Petropolis.

‘This is nothing like the place I’ve just been’ Charlie looked around in awe at the sheer size of the place: Pokémon centers, Restaurants, all surrounded by a diamond shaped park in the center. ‘That park would make an perfect place for a battle’, she thought to herself.

[Etnie]

((Due to me losing the original battle text, the battle between me and Empoleon will not be posted. Basicly It wa Starly and Houndour vs Makuhita and Nidoran. Makuhita ko's houndour. Starly ko's Makuhita and does serious damage to nidoran. I called the fight to a halt while nidoran was still standing. Short summary of my part of the aftermath so we can move on to the next day is below. Apologies to Empoleon.))

So after the battle basically I inform Charlie to the location of the pokecenter. While I wander off and Find a nice little hotel room near the colosseum where I get some food/rest along with my pokes. (700poke gone) The next morning I get up early and am one of the first to sign up for the tourney.

((I decided to add mine and Etnie's battle, typing it to the best I could remember))

Charlie and Etnie both entered the Park. Etnie lead Charlie to a brightly lit baseball field, “This will do”, Etnie said.

Charlie looked around in wonder, ’This reminds me of the kind of ball courts gramps used to take me’. She followed Etnies lead and walked up to one of the bases.

“Ok Charlie, you go first, I wanna see your full potential!” Etnie shouted across the field.
Charlie nodded, unclipping two of her Pokeballs from her belt.

“Come on out, Jet and Demon!” she yelled as she hurled her balls into the air. The two Pokemon stared towards Etnie: Starly flapped his wings hastily whilst keeping her balance and Houndour barked intimidatingly. Etnie smiled; in turn he tossed his Pokeballs into the air. Out of the balls emerged Nidoran and Makuhita.

“Alright Starly, start off with a Gust to slow down any of their attacks and hopefully cause some damage”, Charlie shouted to the Bird, “Houndour, use Nasty Plot to increase your attack power”, she added.

“Nidoran use Toxic spikes! Makuhita, Bulk up to diminish gust’s power”, Etnie commanded with confidence.

As the battle unfolded Starly started flapping its wings rapidly, performing a gust attack. Nidoran shrugged this off and released toxic spikes all over the battle field. Makuhita stood still as his muscles bulked up, completely absorbing the Gust attack. Houndour stood still – channelling its dark auras.

‘Interesting, Etnie used no attacking moves... What’s he up to?’

Etnie smirked and ordered his next round of attacks: “Makuhita! Blow that starly away with a potent whirlwind!” he shouted, “Nidoran, use Double Kick on Houndour”

’No way! The sneak was planning something afterall!’, Charlie had no time to think, she had to help her Pokemon.

“Jet, counter his whirlwind with your own whirlwind! Houndour, use Flamethrower against his double kick! Toast that little rat!” Charlie yelled.

Makuhita began waving its arms forming a powerful Whirlwind, however, Starly flapped his wings to form another Whirlwind. The two attacks collided, cancelling eachover out and causing sand to blow viciously around the court. Nidoran then darted towards Houndour before jumping up and kicking its legs in a fury. Houndour failed to deflect the first kick; however, he welcomed the second one with a ball of fire, knocking the Nidoran to the ground.

“Houndour convert that energy into a dominating Overheat, aim for his Makuhita!” She commanded, “Starly, use fly! Don’t come down ‘till I say so.”

“Makuhita Endure the attack! Nidoran use Horn Attack on Houndour!” Etnie replied.

Starly happily flew into the sky away from any danger. Meanwhile, Nidoran’s horn started glowing as it sped towards Houndour – Houndour evaded the attack and scampered toward Makuhita. The hound jumped above Makuhita, charging a large scarlet ball, then blasted it towards the Sumo. Makuhita was consumed by the scarlet fire ball as a colossal cloud of smoke covered the field. Houndour was panting after loosing a lot of energy.
’Theres no way he could have survived that, it was a direct hit!’

Etnie and Charlie watched anxiously as the smoke started to clear – Makuhita was still standing.

“Now Makuhita! Reversal on Houndour!” Etnie ordered with a grin.

Makuhita whacked Houdour with all his power; giving a yelp of pain, Houndour fell to the floor.

“Houndour return”, grabbing Houndour’s Pokeball, she reaches it out, enlarges it and returns the pooch to the confined of the safe ball before turning to Starly.

“Now Starly, land and finish off Makuhita!” Charlie shouted to Etnies disclosure.
Starly swooped down and tackled Makuhita straight in the gut, providing the finishing blow.

“Humph, looks like you're stronger than I thought, Charlie”, he said, recalling his Makuhita, “Nidoran! Horn Attack!”

“Starly counter with Takedown!” She replied.

Nidoran and Starly headed towards each over: Starly knocked Nidoran backwards, however she was poisoned by Nidoran’s Poison Point. Both Pokemon looked beat up – however, Starly looked better off.

“Nidoran return, that’s enough”, Etnie said returning his Pokemon to its ball, “It seems I underestimated you”.

Charlie was ecstatic she’d one her first trainer battle, “I guess ya’ did”, she replied, smiling. However, she couldn’t help feel Etnie was testing her...

((Ack! *seizure* Guess it's not too bad, though, considering I was gone for almost a week.

@Etnie, s'awright, this sort of thing is bound to happen. Now get that ramen off your head.))

"W-who are you?! Show yourself!" Ara was shaking in her Mary Janes as a shadowy figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Calm down, kid," said the black-haired man in a plaid jacket. "All I want is a battle." There was a flash at Ara's belt as Buckskin released herself. "I say let 'em have it! We'll whup him!" The man's eyes widened, though he hid his surprise rather well. This could be it...

Ara cringed. "I'm gonna regret this later... Alright." She turned to the Squirtle. "You ready for this, Buckle?" Buckskin grinned mischeviously. "Born ready, baby."

The man sent out a tough-looking Sneasel. "Let's get this party started."
