[attr="class","sv3"] This is a candied world, and it spreads like fire. When it devours me I call the burning 'fun', but I never really was the purist one. Though I try to cleanse my soul with every sun. And I just get deeper in the same shit but doesn't everyone? Close my eyes and play along.
It was a day off, He's been in Petalburg for a couple of days now having spent time with Syndra, Evan, Basil, and even Noah at his behest. They've all done a number of festival related things together, but the need for 'personal space', and 'alone time'. outweighed his desire to be surrounded by people and so today he'd slipped out early in the morning to take the day for himself. It started with a heart breakfast, some morning training a quick shower and now he was at the beach searching for a place to relax. It was a wonderful place to be alone, but surrounded by people all the while. And maybe he'd catch a wave or two while he was out.
As he finds the perfect spot he meets another young man with eyes on the spot. Typically he'd just give it up, but he was feeling a bit playful today. "I see we've come to an impasse friend."

The inevitable question comes faster than he intended, a clever grin plasters itself on his face. "I mean it's the most logical course of action right? I just wanna apologize in advance for taking your spot though." The sarcasm isn't heavy, but it has some push behind it as he pulls out a pokeball. The man has two pokemon with him, the third he caught this morning, but left it at the pokemon center to heal. He just hopes the two will suffice for this fight. A lob later the device hits the ground and in a white light appears the trash bag pokemon. He has no nickname for the Trubbish yet, but one will come soon he's sure.
"Alright friend, I'll let you take the first move." The trash pokemon looks more than ready for a good battle, after all its circumstances prior to meeting Miles gave him extra incentive to win.

"A teddiursa?" He watches the bear pokemon appear from the capsule with slight interest. It was a popular pokemon worldwide its cuteness turned the species into a mascot of sorts, his Trubbish wasn't quite as famed, and if it was for different reasons entirely. "The teddiursa comes in for an attack and connects dealing a fair bit of damage to Trubbish." As Trubbish takes the technique Miles calls out his own attack. "While it's close Poison Gas!" The Trubbish works through the attack releasing a cloud of Noxious gas surrounding him before the second of Teddiursa attacks connect. "Now Toxic Spikes." As the injured poison type bounces back it releases a layer of purple tipped spikes on the sandy beach, they wouldn't be of much use now, but as the battle went on they'd find their use. The trubbish now a bit further away from the Normal time pokemon looks a bit beat up, but he still has fight left in him. His trainer is worried about his pokemon, but stays calm.
Notes: -Takes the first chip away -Uses Poison Gas point blank -Takes second Chip Away -Uses toxic Spikes

He glances at the boy as he makes his joke squinting slightly at him, it wasn't funny the first time but for some reason than man felt the need to repeat it. A small sigh escapes him as the battle continues the Teddiursa coming in for a second round. "Toxic Spikes into pound." He gives the order with a sense of finality this time around his plan coming together. The pokemon managing to release the second set of spikes as the bear pokemon connected once again, Only for the trash bag pokemon to swing it's arms in an attempt to clobber the honey bear. The second hit connects and it's apparent the pokemon is out cold. He looks a little dismayed as he calls the poison type back, wishing it well as he calls it back into his pokeball.
"Alright let's step it up now." With the enemies side of the field littered with spikes he was set to finish the battle. He releases the second pokeball Sola appearing instantaneously the mid-sized fire larva ready for a good battle. Miles wastes no time with his commands. "Use ember twice through, don't let up."
Notes: -Trubbish uses Toxic Spikes -Hit by Chip Away -Uses Pound -Takes second Chip Away -Trubbish Faints - Lv 15 Larvesta is called out - Larvesta uses Ember twice through

The teddiursa fell almost immediately to the flames much to the red haired trainers relief, however he's sure not to get ahead of himself he lost the last battle for that reason entirely. Another pokeball drops the crystalized light forming a gray pokemon with what looked like a mid sized hunk of wood in its hands worrying the man more than slightly. He didn't know pokemon carried their own weapons, or even used weapons at all. Wild. He pulls out his pokedex scanning the pokemon quickly getting a name for it, before sliding the device back in his pocket. "So it's a Timburr, alrighty then."
The pokemon landed on the spikes the poison taking affect almost instantly a lucky boost for him however the timburr had a certain look in his eyes. Something that actually unerved the trainer a bit. It held a sort of aura that said it was more than determined to beat down the bug pokemon, if he has to describe it in word he'd say the pokemon looked a bit more 'Gutsy' than anything else. The opposing trainer waster no time ordering his pokemon to attack the Timburr rushing in with its giant chunk of wood.
Regardless his strategy didn't change this would have to be a battle of endurance. "Don't let up with the fire take it out fast!" The pounds connect each technique was followed by a burning ember of its own fist and flames flying around as the battle continued. Notes: - Pound hits (guts boosted) -Larvesta uses Ember - Pound hits (guts boosted) -Larvesta uses Ember - Larvesta at 78%

The battle ended in his favor a grin marking his face now. In truth the ending was pretty comical, but a win was a win he supposed. He patted the fire type on the head before returning the pokemon to its ball looking over the battle field now, with a sigh. "Yeah guess I didn't think things through entirely..." a weak laugh follows the statement knowing he fucked up. "Got a little bit carried away friend, my bad." In truth he didn't care much for the spot in the first place he just wanted a good battle, something he got. "Don't believe I managed to catch your name trainer. Names Miles. And between you and me, just past those rocks there's a small cove that's super relaxing the sun hits the water perfectly so it's not absolutely freezing either. Call it a thank you for the match, and an apology for fucking up the spot."
"I'm guessing your here to participate in the festival, right? Most trainers here this week are." This was a classic case of winning the battle but losing the war.
Notes: Might as well grab some good pd from this right?

The trainer, or rather Miles at this point speaks about the cave exploration a kind-of event in the festival, it's why he'd come to Petalburg, or rather why both he and his companions planned to stay for so long. There was also the gym challenge as well, but he planned on doing that during the festival wrap up knowing there was still a lot of training to do before he even got close to the gym leader.
"Yeah I booked it here with some friends of mine, we just started our journey we don't really plan on leaving until the festival ends no need to rush to the next town right, gotta enjoy the journey friend." He's truly not worried about it right now choosing to relax and enjoy the summer before continuing his friends felt the same for the most part at least. "I know the cave explorations start soon though, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow my group goes tomorrow, when do you go?"
Notes: Let's wrap it up next post get the 6 pd sound good?

"Preciate it Will, but it looks like I have an errand to run actually, but i'm sure we'll catch each other around here again, next time any spot on the beach is yours." true enough he honestly felt like he'd be meeting the trainer again one of these days. It wouldn't be uncommon to catch him again especially not while the festival was going on. However he'd received a certain message that required attention much to his annoyance.
Thus he steps back from the sunny sands a final wave, and a final smile before he turns away the smile having morphed into a look far more serious, he curses a name under his breath. "Fucking Elijah..." As he leaves the beach on the way to a meeting with his past.
