andrea gestured toward the lengthy stretch of grass. only moments ago had she been approached by her new pal, dmitri. he had requested a battle, and she had went along with the plan of action no problem. the male already knew she could never say no to a good battle, after all. they had been contacting each other for a decent amount of time, and she appreciated the interaction.
"huh."
her gaze wandered, and she took a moment to enjoy the tranquil scenery that surrounded the pair.
"alright! let's get started!"
she sprinted toward her side, turning sharply and facing the young male with a toothy grin on her face.
"ya ready? 'cause i am!"
her froakie appeared moments later, the pokemon ready for the oncoming battle.

'Free to go first,' she was practically rubbing salt in the wound. Dmitri frowned. "That's not fair, I explained the situation already... didn't you read the entire text? Don't be so rude about it, he'll kick your ass one day." Dmitri had written a lengthy e-mail about why he wanted to have a battle: Hoodini needed training, but he was almost always asleep and knew nothing more than teleport. And I thought Broski had it rough. This guy's doomed out the gate. He reluctantly gave his command.
"*Sigh* Hoodini... use Teleport." Abra dutifully Teleported from outside striking range, directly into the enemy Froakie's strike zone. It was as if it challenged the Froakie, expecting to be pummeled, perhaps? It knew nothing other; it was moot to command it any further.
"Let me know when you're done..." It didn't really seem fair for Hoodini, or for Dmitri for that matter. I don't get it... how does such a Pokemon thrive if it's so weak? ...Maybe that's why the thing is so rare in its natural environment! I guess it all makes sense now. Despite this revelation, it didn't quite make him feel any better.

andrea chuckled in an amused fashion. but her eyes continued to gleam with an infectious warmth that spread across the sharp contours of her features. the girl's froakie joined in her merriment, his lips forming a silly grin as he peered at his foe.
"fro!"
once the abra proceeded to teleport closer in a bold fashion, the coordinator whistled - visibly impressed.
"huh."
for such an inexperienced pokemon, abra sure had moxie.
"alright! guess it's our turn, yeah?"
"kie!"
she responded to her own pokemon's eager chirp with a motivated shout.
"alright! use pound! follow it up with another!"
the water-type lunged forward, wielding his paw that glowed an intense shade of white. with a speed often associated with his kind, he thrust his limb toward the psychic-type twice.
"lookin' forward ta him evolvin'?" andrea questioned, raising her voice so that dmitri could detect her words.

There's no point dodging, Abra. You'll lose no matter what; conserve your energy. It was weird, having a pokemon who could adapt to your commands telepathically. Abra had invaded his mind since they met, and it was a shrill-voiced, eager thing. It didn't understand that it was weak, it felt empowered, even now as it was to suffer undeniable defeat.
One, two. Abra was given a good pounding, bruises forming along his body and forehead. He could tell Abra was in pain; yet the pokemon made not a single sound or movement. Its concentration was phenomenal, this was its true strength. Too bad it didn't help out a ton in a pokemon battle.
"Of course! He's an amazing pokemon, even now." Him and Abra were arguing about whether dodging was even necessary; but it didn't seem to matter. Abra was struck close to his head, and it was giving him a migraine. It corrupted the channel he and Dmitri shared and suddenly... Abra collapsed, fainted from the attack.
"Oh, no. You gave him a migraine..." Abra had withdrawn, fainted but still tortured by a throbbing headache. Dmitri rushed over to Abra, picking him up and craddling him up against his chest. He was careful not to touch the head, supporting the pokemon from its neck and torso instead. It let out a small, exasperated cry.
"I think he expected to last longer. I really do feel bad for him, sometimes. But I know it'll be worth it to see him grow, in the end." He gave a short bow to Froakie and Andrea; their aid would prove quintessential to Hoodini's growth over the course of their time together.
"So, what do you have going on today? I got a few other pokemon, if you care to fight them."
Hoodini was hit by Pound! x2 Hoodini fainted! (+ 01 Lvl)

the froakie retreated a step, peering down at the fallen foe with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. the abra was admirable, despite his obvious weakness. perhaps he would be much stronger in the future?
"fro."
java grinned at the idea of facing a worthy foe.
"some more pokemon, huh?"
andrea considered the idea carefully.
"why not? when that psychic-type of yers evolves, i'll be expectin' a good rematch with froakie here, though."
the froakie peered over his shoulder curiously to eye his coordinator.
"up fer it, boy?"
"fro."
it was a low mutter, and andrea shrugged before producing her pokeball and returning the pokemon into his capsule.
"alrightie! beerus!"
the pokemon appeared in a flash, his glossy coat gleaming within the light of day. he appeared to still be in the process of maturing, his body still somewhat small.

"I don't think I've ever heard that from you before!" Take it easy? He doesn't look so weak. He considered it for a moment, but decided in the end after tossing Bowser's pokeball into the field, that it would be fine if he lost.
Andrea is a good trainer. I want to learn more from her. Brutalizing her pokemon for his own selfish agenda wouldn't help solidify their bond. But to Dmitri, it was merely a matter of friendship. I don't betray my friends, or their trust.
Bowser flexed his arms, basking in the sunlight as it glinted off his carapace. He was formidable, and something in Dmitri wanted to believe he should win. Yet somehow his opponent being Andrea made him question matters worse.
"Bowser, use Acupressure!" Skorupi took a moment to tense his muscles, releasing a wave of energizing power across his form. He grew hardened against special attacks, exoskeleton dazzling in the daylight.
"Once more!" He shuddered, coalescing the latent energy inside and rising in defensive structure. His physical defense improved, his carapace hardening into a grainy quartz-like texture.
"Make your move!" I've got a bad feeling about this. His stomach churned, yet he hoped against hope that Bowser hadn't been tossed into a frying pan here.
Bowser used Acupressure! x2 Bowser's Special Defense rose dramatically! Bowser's Defense rose dramatically!

the pokemon stepped forward, peering at the strong bug-type. he curiously analysed the creature from afar, pacing from side to side as he eyed his foe. andrea grinned at the sight, finding it adorable as the young absol stepped forward and then retreated - unsure.
"it's all good, beerus," she crooned.
"absol," he muttered, pawing at the ground.
it was obvious the pokemon was anxious. it was his first battle, after all.
"let's try somethin' simple! use fire blast!"
the pokemon nodded his head after a moment of hesitance, opened his mouth wide and crying out as he conjured the flames that took the shape of a kanjī. it was thrust toward the skorupi moments later.
"and now an ice beam!"
absol spouted out a plethora of chilled energy, doing so without missing a beat.

"... Duck?" Bowser seemed to panic at the command, but hunched his head between hislegs and kisse his ass goodbye. You're not paying attention, are you Bowser? As the raging inferno blazed across the field, it passed overhead Bowser without so much as a 1st degree burn. Sk-skor! Bowser was surprised, but also outraged.
"Use Poison Sting to whittle his defenses!" Bowser poised its tail, leveling it at Beerus. Taking aim he fired, attempting to send piercing bolts for Absol's hide. But Absol already prepared another assault, and this time Skorupi was caught in the crossfire.
"Oh no!" Frigid shards of ice overtook Skorupi, penalizing him for remaining true to his Bug-tpe attribute. If only he was a Drapion... But there was little reason to waste time thinking about that now. Dmitri did know however that Absol wasn't familiar with battling. He needed to make Absol uncomfortable continuing to improve his chances.
If I can just poison him, he'll be easy prey. But Absol's hide was thick and seemed to resist his attempts at poisoning him. "Try Poison Sting again, aim for his chest or underbelly!" With any luck Absol would be reduced to a whimpering mess if the poison didn't sit well with him.
"... What the heck just happened!?"
Skorupi tottered left, Skorupi teetered left...
... and then he slammed to the ground.
But was it over?
Skorupi dodged Dire Blast! Skorupi used Poison Sting! x2 Skorupi was hit by Ice Beam! It was super-effective! It was a critical hit! Bowser gained a level! +1 Lvl (Lvl 11)

"you did it!"
andrea shrieked, lunging toward her absol who grimaced due to both the tight embrace and the poison that began to seep into his veins and threaten his consciousness.
"that's my good boy," she crooned.
nuzzling into his form, the absol responded by remaining still, unsure of how to react to his mistress's affection. the pain began to nip at his innards again and he grunted. pulling away, andrea furrowed her brows as she eyed the young creature with concern.
"ya alright, beerus?"
"a-absol..."
lips pursed, the woman finally pulled away and returned to her station. her absol was poisoned, most likely, and little could be done about it now. she peered in dmitri's direction and nodded her head for him to continue.
"we're ready whenever ya are."
"absol."

Wha... what?! Skorupi tried to wriggle his way back onto six legs, but they clitter-clattered and collapsed beneath him. He winced, eyeing the Absol before acknowledging it was in fact poisoned. Skor... Bowser fainted, leaving the fight in the capable hands of Broski.
"I guess I don't have much of a choice. Broski!" His piggy friend appeared, snorting at the air. Andrea-senpai? He squealed when he saw her as an opponent; perhaps it was acceptable or the contrary, Dmitri didn't quite bother to guess one way or another.
"Hit Absol with Powder Snow!" Broski oinked, took a moment to decide between ignoring and accepting the order, and sent a frigid blast towards Beerus. Broski's been acting funny around Andrea lately. Maybe she's been wearing some weird perfume that drives him crazy? He couldn't be sure, but he doubted it was because of her looks. I mean, she's human and he's a pokemon... The battle waged on.
"If he tries to get close, counter with Tackle!" Broski decided to take this as a reason to rush forward, attempting to slam it before the pokemon could catch up to it. Woah, he's getting aggressive. It was unusual for Broski to act out with hostile intent. Sheesh, Broski, what's wrong with ya?
Bowser fainted! +1 Lvl (Lvl 13) Dmitri sent out Broski! Lvl 21 Broski used Powder Snow! Broski used Tackle!

absol released a grunt as he fell over, the terrible sting from the powder snow leaving him reeling. that coupled by the poison leeched away the remainder of his available strength. andrea quickly returned the fallen pokemon, praising him for his previous victory before attaching his capsule to her belt.
"broski..."
a small smile formed as she recognized her beloved swinub.
her little guardian in brown fur.
"broski!"
andrea lunged forward, moving to scoop the ice-type into her arms.
"oh! how's my baby," she crooned.
despite the battle that was still in session, the girl continued to coo and grant the pokemon as much attention as he might want. her plump lips pressed against his snout and little face, a purr escaping her as she relished the creature's presence.
"ya gotten so strong!"

"Aren't you going to... send out a pokemon?" She seemed to move for Broski, before embracing him in a hug and pressing kisses against his snout. ... Does she think she can charm Broski away from me? But then he'd remembered how Broski had scurried to her rescue back at the gala. Oh... Swinub was enjoying it anyways; why interrupt their fun?
"Yeah, he's growing up so fast. He's been pushing me to take on the gym challenge." Dmitri owned a special case for collecting them, which Broski regularly fetched and thrust upon him, almost expectantly. Just a little while longer, the rest of the team isn't caught up. But Broski was more than ready, which was why he was so eager to fight, even now.
"Most girls don't like piggy snouts, though. I'm surprised." Broski turned and looked at him, jaded. *Oink Oink*What's that supposed to mean!? Broski didn't seem to understand his body was ridden with germs and bacteria and was otherwise somewhat gross to most.

"well, i think he's pretty handsome. ain't that right, boy? yer a handsome fella. aren't ya? yes ya are."
continuing to sprinkle him with attention, the coordinator ignored dmitri for a while longer before she set the pokemon down.
"alright ! 'mm ready!"
andrea plucked java's pokeball from her belt, a grin on her face as she produced the frog-like creature. he croaked out a simple greeting, peering curiously at the brown-furred specimen that stood before him. the coordinator merely smiled. she was all-too aware that java stood little chance against the ice-type. but she intended to wear him down as much as possible before shoving a weaker pokemon into the field.
"give 'em a bubble!"
the water-type obeyed, sending a high velocity attack composed of frothy bubbles at the stout creature.
"another!"
"fro!"
he continued, the froakie stepping forward as he launched yet another attack against broski.
Post by Dmitri Khvostov on Jul 27, 2015 8:56:30 GMT
Bubble, eh? Broski seemed startled by the sudden attack and rolled left, exposing his underbelly and deftly sliding just underneath a swarm of bubbles before coming right-side up a few feet to the side. "Good job, now counter with Freeze-Dry!" Swinub inhaled sharpyl before loosing a jet of hoarfrost as it exhaled towards the Froakie. It would be a close match if Dmitri was being honest with himself.
Yet the second wave of Bubbles came floating in, and Broski was enveloped in them, squealing in outrage. Swiiii!~ Things were starting to look bad.
"Counter with another Freeze-Dry!" Broski puffed up his chest, sending another blast of icy coolant. He was trying to impress Andrea, and he was failing. Swinub felt a rush of anxiety followed by adrenaline, and suddenly decided to get in close to the Froakie. He ground his teeth, eager to prove his worth. Swiii nub Swinub Swin!
It's for Andrea-senpai, I have to...!
Broski evaded Bubble! Broski used Freeze-Dry! Broski was hit by Bubble! Broski used Freeze-Dry!

eyes widening in response to the powerful attack that the ice-type breathed, java attempted to maneuver his way around the chilled assault. a pity he could manage only one sloppily executed dodge before the other landed. when it did, a shrill noise escaped the tiny frog. once he realized just how seriously injured he had become, the tiny froakie puffed out a few breaths and growled in the ice-type's direction.
"huh. broski's bulked up plenty, i see," andrea commented.
"f-fro..."
"ya good enough ta keep goin', java?"
java managed a simple nod, wavering slightly upon his paws as he peered in the creature's direction.
"alright!"
scrounging up enough strength to correct his posture, the water-type glared at his opponent.
"bubble! double dose!"
try yer best, she thought.
"fro!"
a frothy collection of bubbles were launched toward the ice-type. this was followed by another as the slim water-type exhaled the attack and it sped toward broski.
