the recent events made her tired. socializing, although a useful tool, drains her energy. she just needs a break sometimes. she returns to the quiet town of oldale, hoping that she wouldn't see rory again. she doubts it. he rarely ever stays in the same place longer than he needs to be, and he's probably trying to keep up with the aqua events, too.
cass leaves the center with her eevee next to her. she's cute. her name's eve, but she'll go with snooki for now. gives people more reason to suspect that she's not magma leader. gotta stay on the down low. she's a new trainer, of course.
she bumps into a person and stumbles back. cass is at fault but she's still angry. she's ready to rip into him before she recognizes his face. thank groudon, it's someone from magma. she smiles at him. he was a promising member.

Sam holds back the yawn forming, covering his mouth to hide any sound that may come out of it. He looked somewhat drained, but the Litwick trailed beside him, twirling around every now and then. Wisp seemed to be having odd moodswings ever since he went for the Sewaddle earlier. Jealous little thing aren't you. It resulted in him heading back to Odale town, wanting to do some check ups and maybe a bit of rest.
When the doors to the center opened, well, he could say he wasn't paying attention himself, but he was a lot more alert when he was tired. Some paranoia function that formed at the orphanage that just never entirely went away. Didn't stop the person on the other end of the collision from wanting to tear him to shred-- Wait. He recognized this person, and it clicked when their expression softened and a smile formed. After catching himself, a mischievous smirk grew upon his face, which came somewhat mixed with a cheeky grin.
"Hey CC!" He greeted, "I'm pretty okay.. kind of tired, accidentally cooked a Sewaddle. I think Wisp is PMSing, can pokemon even do that?" Cassandra was probably the only person in Team Magma he was friendly with, they knew eachother somewhat. She was the person who convinced him to join Team Magma, after all. Wisp let out a loud huff, small blue embers coming from her mouth but dying out before they could cause harm to anything.
"Now here begs the real question; how are you doing?" Sam asked back, curiosity clearly present on his face. You could tell when he was relaxed with someone, not necessarily by posture and more by how he behaved. Less polite-overly-compulsive-gentleman and a bit more outgoing and sassy. However he did greatly respected her, she was his leader after all.

she doesn't exactly know why he calls her cc, maybe it's because she ended up calling him sammy, but it's a nice nickname regardless. she hasn't seen him for a while. it's nice to know that he's okay, though. after all, what leader doesn't look out for their team?
"that poor sewaddle. your litwick a little too jealous?" she says, laughing. it was a cute pokemon. a fire type. something she likes. hell -- maybe she's even get one if she could find it.
cass thinks for a moment. was she really okay? "i could be better," she admits. rory didn't help at all. in fact, he made it a little worse. his presence just dredged up memories from the past. something she hates to go back to.
she shrugs, "but that's life. you free today?" she asks. cass wouldn't mind going out tonight. maybe get a sandwich or something. or ice cream. yeah, that sounds good too.
His grin widened when she mentioned the Litwick being jealous, and he snorted trying not to burst into laughter as the small ghost type gave her a glare, before turning around with a huff. "Oh yeah, she's definitely jealous. At least they're a boy, heavens know how much trouble I'd be in if I tried to adopt it and it wasn't." He said after he calmed himself down.
His smile turns into a slight frown when she speaks up again, but he wouldn't press on the matter. Something seemed to be bugging her, but it was pretty obvious she didn't want to talk about it. And trying to get someone to talk about something when they didn't want to only made things worse. Sam blinked a few times to get back in focus of the change in topic.
"Yeah, I'm free." He looked around a bit, as if trying to remember if he had anything planned. "Its not like I can go much anywhere. Can't swim, have mostly fire types-" He motioned to the bag strapped to his shoulder, a small cyndaquil egg popped out of it. "- Odale town isn't much for site seeing." He shrugged, the only things this town branched off into was route 102 and route 103. He couldn't surf, so he was out of luck going to Mauville City, and trecking back down route 103 to the next down wasn't quite in his interest. The next route was quite a bit longer than the one between this one and littleroot.

poor kid. he had to deal with a litwick for a while. she smiles at it, trying to give it a little comfort because she's sure that he'd like it best, since it was his starter after all. sammy wouldn't leave it alone.
she can feel his curiosity. cass is a big tempted to tell him what happened, but she quickly throws that thought out the window. it's not professional. she can't get her personal and work life mixed up, even if it was already startng to blur together.
"no, it isn't. you can only do so much." she murmurs. cass puts a finger to her chin. she beckons snooki closer, letting the eevee jump into her arms. it's a cute thing. she just wonders when she'll evolve it, if at all. for now, it'll be her first or second pokemon for sure. an idea suddenly comes to her.
"up for a battle? how trained are your pokemon?" she asks. cass has to admit, she hasn't trained her pokemon very much. perhaps this battle will get her ready.

Sam's face contorts into that of confusion as she calls her eevee over, tilting his head to the left slightly. His eyes blinked a few times before understanding what she wanted, although only after it was announced. In response, he called his Litwick over so that she was closer to him, pulled out a pokeball and returned her.
"I'm up for a battle." He began, fumbling around with his belt and pulling another pokeball out. "I have two pokemon capable of fighting, both are level five. I think I can do it; haven't gotten all that much training in unfortunately." Sam continued, shifting the pokeball around in his hand as if toying with it. Then, he tossed it upwards and it popped open; a beam of light trailing out to reveal a gelatenous blob. It tilted its head, looking curiously up at its trainer and then towards Cassandra and her Eevee.
"Meet Roulette, the Pokemon Birch gave to me." He stepped backwards as if to give some space. "Its not as amazing compared to Wisp, but it works better than putting a ghost up against a normal type. 'sides, Roulette still hasn't proved their worth yet."
Sam chuckled at the unfunny joke. He hated sounding like this, but when he got into it there wasn't much going back. The worst part was when he was in a competitive mindset, he started sounding like his parents - that concerned him a little. "Alright Roulette, transform!" He called out, and the blob looked at him before making a child-like squeal and shifting until it looked like the Eevee that was in Cass's arms.

"Hm, don't worry about it, I haven't either. i'm a newbie, just like you." cass says. she's also started anew -- if only to grab a pokedex and a rare pokemon. she has three pokemon at the moment, and they're rather weak. eevee leaps out of her arms, landing in front of the ditto.
"ditto are actually pretty valuable if you use it corrrectly." she says. she watches it morph and change. it looks like the exact twin to her eevee. the sight is strange to see, that's for sure.
"alright, start off with a sand attack!" cas says. the first thing she wants to do is to blind it first. eevee goes forward, skidding against the dirt and sending dust towards it.

Roulette lets out a strangled yelp as it tries to desperately rub the dirt from its eyes, shaking its head furiously from being hit by sand attack. Sam sighs and calls out to the pokemon, trying to reassure it. "Stay calm and concentrate." The pokemon listens and tries to stop panicking, newly gained ears flat against its head all the while.
"That's right, good Ditto." He praises it, trying to boost its confidence. He assumed that the pokemon hadn't had too many battles, but whether that assumption was right or not (considering, how did Birch get it otherwise?) Sam certainly would never know. "Now start this off with just growl." The teen sends out his command, while he could have gone for an attack, with the Ditto so disoriented it'd be easy for the attack to the thwarted. Right now, it was best to stay defensive.
In response, Roulette lets out a ferocious growl that sounds slightly distorted and surprisingly glitched due to not being a real eevee. Its fur was standing up on its back, and its tail raised as if to give the impression that it was incredibly dangerous (which it really wasn't).
Sam winces slightly at the sound of the growl, but otherwise forces himself to get over it. It didn't sound natural, but then again how natural was ditto anyways?
Roulette was hit by Sand Attack! ITS ACCURACY FELL!

the sand attack hit. that was a success, at least. the ditto would be a least a little disorientated from the sand in its eyes. it's strangely cute as it tries to shake off the attack. cass can't tell whether it's doing it on purpose or not.
the growl that the mock eevee emits is ugly and distorted. it's a little creepy. cass admits that she's surprised to hear it. it's slightly unsettling. she didn't expect it to sound like that. eevee's also intimidated by it, not only because it was distorted but also because it was instinct.
"stay strong. try and attack." she says. eevee wags her body, tail whipping from side to side before bouncing forward with a tackle. she pushes off against the ground, ducking her head to hit the other eevee.
The ditto looked confused, its eyes watering from the sand it had gotten in its eyes from earlier making them a bit red around the edges. Another yelp sounded from the mock eevee as tackle hit, making it crawl back in pain and look dead on, not entirely understanding the situation. It looked caught off guard.
"Its alright Roulette, just keep strong." Sam tried to get his pokemon to relax again, if if it was tense it would just lead harming itself more. "Blink the sand out of your eyes and try to tackle it." The ditto began getting up at the horder, leaping from side to side as it sped forward in a zig-zag motion towards the other, trying to hit it. A small sigh came from its trainer, only for them to suddenly cover their ears again at another horrible growling sound coming from Roulette.
"You need to work on mimicing vocal cords, like wow." He groaned out in a mixture of amazement and annoyance, he wasn't entirely sure his ears could handle the horribly high pitched distortion sounds every-time his glob tried to mimic another pokemon's moves. Regardless, it was pretty obvious it was trying to weaken whatever moves were being thrown at it. Stab tackle hurt bad.
Roulette FELL FOR THE TAIL WHIP! ITS DEFENSE FELL!

it was good that the ditto's effected by the sand-attack. she's glad that she had the upper hand, but she did feel a little guilty. whatever, cass guesses. it's all fair in a pokemon battle.
hoever her own eevee wasn't doing much better. she clamps covers her ears again as the ditto growls again. the distortion hurt cass's ears from this distance, so she couldn't imagine what snookie had to go through.
it was effective. her eevee was a little bit more hesitant with the attack, but she went through with a tackle anyways. she lunges at the ditto and once she could, threw herself at it again.

Using sand attack had given her an advantage, darn it! Sam sucked in a breath of air as his ditto inevitably was hit by the double tackle attack, its yelp causing the trainer’s heart to start pumping at a faster pace. Time seemed to slow down as he was sure the adaptability-powered tackles would surely have finished the eevee imposter off...
But it didn’t, as Roulette still seemed to find some sort of strength left to hang on with very low health. Wide eyed and still clearly trying to get over the initial panic, Sam finally let the breath he was holding release before sucking more air in again to regulate his breathing pattern. “Note to self; don’t underestimate the eevee.” He found himself whispering. The young male’s hands clenched into fists hard enough for the knuckles to turn white, he was eyeballing the scene to try and make an approach from the heavily disadvantage he was at. He was super lucky they were right outside a pokemon center.
“Okay… Roulette. Try to steady yourself and go for another tackle.” He called out to the ditto, his voice was airy and soft; but it didn’t hold any of the shock or panic he had been through earlier. It was almost as if the event never happened.
Then just as the order was called out, the ditto hopped from left to right in a cute fashion trying to imitate the real eevee. Its tail was wagging back and forth, contrary to the eerie growls it gave off before the action seemed a lot more welcoming than one would think for tail whip… Then it leaped forward towards the eevee to try and land a tackle attack.
Despite how hard his pokemon was trying, Sam’s hands still twitched around Wisps’ pokeball instinctively. He was the most attached to her after all, even though he didn’t quite like the idea of sending a ghost type out against a normal type with only one move that couldn’t hit.

snooki ducks her head and lunges at the ditto. twice. she's sure that it'll faint with these attacks, but apperently not. snooki quickly backs away as it recovers. it still hangs on. it has remarkable stamina for being someting so...gelatonous?
nonetheless, cass is surprised that the ditto manages to hang on, but it won't be able to survive soon. she can see sam's nervousness from across the battlefield. new? she shrugs, giving him an encouraging smile. it's just a friendly battle. there's nothing to be scared of.
"dodge the tackle and finish it off." she orders. snooki is quick to leap out of the way of it's doppleganger. she growls, and with a quick spurt of energy sends herself tackling the pokemon back.

Roulette being on the last of its legs really didn't effect the battle as much as he hoped. As the fake eevee was defeated and collapsed, it reverted back to its pink gelatinous form. He cringed; it looked almost dead, something he couldn't shake. However, he certainly knew it was simply unconscious. Sighing, the teen pulled out Ditto's pokeball and recalled it.
"You'll be okay, you did good work." in all honesty, he couldn't tell if they actually did anything, but it was in good nature to reassure them that they did good. They tried, that was the most important thing. "Alright Wisp you can come back out." He called casaully, tossing another pokeball into the air; resulting in the spirit to release "Use minimize, get cover." he said instinctively, presuming they were having a 2v2 fight. If he was to be called off his instinctive assault however, he would certainly do so without hesitation.
In response, Wisp's size shrunk rapidly, giving after affects. As she shrunk, she gave a twirl as if she was dancing.
"Follow up with smog."
As if trying to perform, she bowed. Not long after she gave an eerie, sinister, chuckle and lifted herself up. Her eyes shined brightly as purple fog seeped from her mouth. It was obvious she was trying to look threatening.
"And stop being a creep, how am I suppose to talk to anyone with you acting like that?" Her trainer scolded her behavior, and her smile widened. Despite not seeing her face, Sam groaned and facepalmed. He let a muffled "I am so sorry." out of her mouth.
I'm fine with continuing this if you want to continue this, more levels and PD after all. amrite? • Wisp is at +2 evasiveness, • Smog has a chance to poison.

snooki easily defeats the ditto. the fake eevee collapses at sam's feet, turning back into it's soft form. it gurgles a bit and goes still. cass watches as he returns it and throws another pokeball. she hadn't exactly planned for another pokemon to come out, but she supposes that it's just more training.
sam throws another pokeball. a candle thing materializes. it's a litwick, the one she saw when they first met today. it shrinks. cass squints as it grows smaller. snooki struggles to keep track of it as fog is expelled out of her mouth. "snooki, dodge!" cass yells, but it's too late. her eevee coughs and gags as she inhales the smoke, and she quickly collapses under the poison and smog. cass returns the pokemon and takes out her only other pokeball.
"cerberus." she calls. the houndour snarls as he forms on the field. she's a little worried. the only move he knows would be an ember move, and he can't perform a tackle without seriously hurting himself. regardless, the battle must go on. cerberus throws back his head and with a guttural howl, increases his attack. with the blood flowing, he aims a shot of ember at the pokemon.
