[attr="class","afir4"]He hadn't been quite sure what to expect whenever he'd gone to get a Pokemon. But the blue reptilian that was currently gnawing on a piece of an apple he'd brought with him was not it. Not that he was complaining at all. In fact he already loved the little guy to pieces and wanted to make sure that he grew up big and strong. Not that he was really sure how to do that but he did know from watching tv that meant they were supposed to battle other Pokemon. He was wary about sending Blueberry into battle all on his own. But without doing that there was no way for him to get teammates for him. The problem was real.
Still, it wasn't as if he was going to be fighting some high powered whatever out here. This was where new trainers trained all the time so that meant they would be fine! All they had to do was watch out for stuff that would hit somewhat harder... the little bit of reading he'd done before leaving out had left him not entirely clueless to type advantage and whatnot. Only the basics of it had really been retained though and right now he couldn't remember if fire was strong against rock or not. Not that he needed to worry about that. He didn't even have a fire type! The difference probably wouldn't be too big around here but there was still the worry that something could come along and waylay them.
It would kind of suck to have to go back to professor Birch's lab with an already fainted Totodile whenever he'd just gotten him. He'd probably be extremely disappointed. That and Eviran didn't want to risk him actually taking the blue lizard away from him. That would mean he'd have to go home and be a failure at this too... Not that he was a failure at playing the piano. After all the doctor just said he needed to take a break from constant practice. A very very long break. He'd be back to it eventually though.
And there were probably plenty of trainers that got overzealous and accidentally went too hard and had to go back to the lab. Yet another thing he shouldn't worry about. "Alright Blue. Let's stop thinking about it and start doing it!" The totodile looked up at his trainer in minor confusion. The only thing he'd been thinking about was getting the rest of the apple out of his bag so that he could gnaw on that too. But whatever.

Geodude merrily rolled his way down the side of Route 101, just rolling around for the sake of rolling around. There was something about rolling that Geodude loved, it made him feel good! While most people had their games and comfort food to make them feel better Geodude had his rolling! Geodude just kept on rolling and rolling and rolling, gaining speed after every rotation he performed, eventually rolling so fast that he couldn't stop or even tell where he was going! When in fact he was heading straight for Eviran's Totodile!
[attr="class","afir3"]“Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night, and we'll lie inside a little while.” He wrote, “I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up and we're wrapped in light, in life, in love.

And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love, oh.”
[attr="class","afir4"]The last thing the pair really expected was a geodude speeding towards them. After all why was there even a geodude out here? Only arceus knew and Eviran wasn't really in a hurry to ask him why. Taken unaware by the other Pokemon, Blue had no real time to move out of the way or really any time to react other than being hit by the rolling creature. A shout in pain as he was sent skittering back a few feet due to the force he was hit caused Eviran to stop dead in his tracks and try and remember what they were supposed to do in this situation. Obviously the Geodude wanted to fight or else it wouldn't have attacked his Totodile and that meant that they needed to fight back.
"Uhh... Use Leer and um..." Oh what was the other move that his Totodile knew? It was the only damaging move he had and if he didn't use it he wouldn't be able to actually weaken the other Pokemon. Pulling out his Pokedex he pointed it at Totodile in order to re-read what moves the water type actually had. "Oh! Scratch. It's scratch!" That was the other move he had been thinking about. With his orders fresh on his mind Blue tried to give the Geodude an intimidating glance. After all that's all Leer was and hopefully it would work. Eviran didn't exactly know it but without lowering the Geodude's defense his scratch attack probably wouldn't do too much. Claws glowing slightly as he finished with his leer Blue ran forward and tried to land a hopefully effective Scratch on the Geodude as well.

Geodude would start to rub his head after bumping into the Totodile, he wasn't ready for such a sudden stop. With a grunt Geodude shut his eyes, still rubbing his head, not noticing the leer, or the scratch at that. Geodude's eyes would go open once against as Totodile's claws ran against his body, the scratch attack connecting and hurting Geodude somewhat. Now he was kind of angry, the rolling into totodile was just an accident! With another grunt Geodude would push off the ground, flinging himself at Totodile for some more tackle attacks!

And we're set alight, we're afire love, love, love, oh.”
[attr="class","afir4"]Unfortunately for the Geodude there was really know way for Eviran and Totodile to know that this entire thing was a misunderstanding. In fact the pair actually thought that they were doing some good. After all, taking down a Pokemon that was just going around rolling into people was sort of like a public service, right? At least that's what was going through the new trainer's mind at the moment. What didn't manage to go through his mind was the fact that he could probably have told Blue to get out of the way of at least one of the Geodude's attacks. Unfortunately being the novice he was all he could do was hope that Blue could survive the attacks.
Eviran wasn't really sure that Leer did anything either. After all it didn't appear to damage the other Pokemon so that meant that it wouldn't be much use in the battle, right? Well, he was wrong. But at the moment he didn't know that and unfortunately it looked like Blue was starting to get a little bit tired from all the hits he was taking. "I bet we can finish it off real quick if you just use Scratch a bunch Blue!" With a small nod the blue reptile picked itself up and raised its claws again in an attempt to continue its fight against the Geodude. If all else failed he would at least get some points for trying.

With another grunt sound Geodude would jump out of the way of the first scratch attack, however still getting caught with the second scratch attack. Causing Geodude to topple over a bit, despite the effects of the leer attack earlier Geodude was still a pretty bulky pokemon, and resisted scratch, he wasn't going down that easy! Once Geodude was back up the rock pokemon would waste little time before flinging himself forward again at the Totodile, going for two tackle attacks!

[attr="class","afir4"]They could... Dodge? He wasn't quite sure why it hadn't occurred to him before his Pokemon had taken two hits in the round prior but now he wanted to see if they were fast enough to move out of the way. After all if the Geodude could do it then so could they! At least he hoped that was the case. Determined he wasted no more time in calling for his Pokemon to actually do the action he wanted. "Blue, try and move out of the way like he did!" It took a moment for the Totodile to really register what had been said, leaving plenty of time for the tackle to hit instead of him moving out of the way like Eviran had hoped he would. Oh well... It was their first time battling.
Hopefully next time he would get it though. Though that next time came sooner than he expected and he watched with bated breath as Totodile just barely managed to move out of the way of the second tackle attack. What did they do now? Well, obviously they attacked back but... Could they? It was all so confusing and to be honest, rather thrilling. For the time being he'd practically forgotten that his hands were ruined. Blue was a bit better mentally prepared as he leered at the rock creature once more, wasting no time in trying to lower its defenses once more. Then finally going in for another attack.

Once the Totodile let off the leer attack Geodude would stand perfectly still, having a bit of fun with this battle now. However as Totodile ran in for the scratch attack Geodude would slam his hands down into the ground and push up as hard as he could, pushing himself up into the air and over the Totodile. Safely dodging the scratch attack in it's entirety. After that Geodude would smash into the ground behind the Totodile and hold his hand out, making a little 'Bring it on' motion with his hand.

[attr="class","captializm"]It... Dodged again? Eviran couldn't believe that they'd actually missed the giant rock for a second time. Then again the Pokemon did have some pretty cool jumping skills. They would come in handy once he finally caught the other Pokemon. That's right, he was going to catch this Geodude and add him to his party both for safety reasons and because he seemed to be pretty strong. Plus as cool as Blue was he was pretty sure that there was no way they could do all of this on their own. He may not have been the smartest person in Hoenn but even he knew that trying to take on the entire region with just one water type was pretty much suicide. At least career wise. He wanted a team full of Pokemon he could depend on and be friends with, it would be more fun that way.
"That was pretty cool Geodude but we're not going to let you win! C'mon Blue lets show him what newbies can do!" It was obvious that they were new trainers and since no one else was around to judge them it wouldn't hurt for Eviran to state the obvious. The one saving grace they really had was that Geodude hadn't used any attacks in the last turn when he'd dodged. Giving a determined look Totodile nodded at the Geodude. If he wanted to fight then they would go all out. Not that they hadn't been before, but now it seemed a little bit more serious. After all he'd already decided that they were going to add this guy to their team, making a bad impression now would be the worst.
Blue wasn't exactly worried about that though since he needed to focus on the battle. Showing that they were strong was a pretty good application of making a good impression, right? Frustrated that his last attack had missed he barreled forward as fast as his small legs would take him. Raising his claws in the only offensive move he actually knew for the time being. Both of them would be glad once he managed to learn something other than his most basic attack.

This time Geodude wasn't able to push himself up fast enough. While he did try he couldn't get up that quick and would get hit head on with the first scratch and sent tumbling over. The second scratch coming in before he had even finished tumbling. The last two scratch attacks on top of the previous one and his lowered defense were just enough to do it! And Geodude fainted after the second hit!
geodude fainted! geodude is available for capture!

[attr="class","captializm"]Expecting the Geodude to pull out some sort of neat trick to go with the dodge it had done earlier it surprised both of the two still standing individuals when he fell over. Taking a moment to register what just happened it dawned on Eviran that they had actually won the battle. And that they had knocked the Geodude out cold on the ground. Which probably wasn't that comfortable. Scrambling to grab a Pokeball he pressed the button and tossed it like he'd seen in the demonstration. Very nearly missing by a mile Blue managed to bat the ball in the right direction. Sucking the rock type inside with ease.
"You did great Blue. And I'm sure this guy will be a great addition to the team too... I can't wait to see him in action again." There was no way for him to use the Pokemon while it was fainted so the next best thing to do was just head on down the line. After all if he wasted too much time in one spot he'd never get anywhere. Picking up both the Pokeball and then his Pokemon he began to finish his walk down route 101 and onto bigger and badder things.
