it was about that time to take a step in the right direction.
andrea had decided on that particular wednesday morning that she would challenge her first gym. the young coordinator had carefully selected several pokemon from her roster that she trusted enough to get the job done. and, hopefully, there would be results. she didn't expect this to be easy.
no, not at all.
this guy was legit. the real-fuckin-deal. and she had no idea how this would turn out. andrea felt a surge of anxiety, but shoved it aside with a snort and the shake of her head.
"lemme get this shit over with. no ways i'm lettin' this guy get in my way."
she stepped into the gym, noting its simple yet solid structure. andrea's gaze lingered on the battle field, and the girl inhaled sharply, preparing to speak with volume.
"yo! i'm here ta challenge the big shot around here!" she shouted to anyone within earshot.
norman walks out into the gym. someone has entered. he's excited to see the prospective trainers earn their first badges. they are always either cocky, scared to death, or somewhere in between. sometimes both.
he grins at the person across the stage. "alright, welcome challenger." he throws out a pokeball. sentret rises from it's place, ready for a battle.
it wouldn't be the first one she fought. one of her... acquaintances had possessed one during their previous encounter. a smug smile took form as she eyed the normal-type creature. back then, she didn't have enough resources to quickly dispatch such a pokemon - but now - she had the perfect solution.
"i'm first, huh?"
with a chuckle, andrea produced a single capsule with a fighting-type insignia etched upon its surface.
"sindel!"
the black and white bear appeared in a flash of glimmering light, face twisting to form a look of dissatisfaction as she eyed her opponent. crossing her arms, the pancham cast her mistress a glare.
"pan! pancham!" she barked.
"i'd suggest ya shut yer fuckin' mouth and get in there," andrea replied.
her tone left no room for argument.
with a huff, the fighting-type stood ready.
"arm thrust! and keep it goin' from there!"
the fighting-type lunged forward, preforming quick fire motions that resulted in a glowing paw being thrust toward the sentret continuously.
iron fist - - lv.10 - - healthy tackle - - leer - - arm thrust - - work up sindel used arm thrust! ( x 4 ) sindel used arm thrust! ( x 3 )
the sentret's taken out easily as the pancham does the arm thrusts. it's easy to take it down with a fighting type. norman nods thoughtfully and returns the fainted pokemon.
"go litleo!" he says, chucking the pokeball out into the field. the pokemon growls, spraying a myriad of embers and charging behind it to tackle the pokemon.
litleo♀ - level 010 - keen eye moveset: tackle, leer, ember work up,
both girl and pokemon felt immensely satisfied by their quick win. the black and white creature cast her owner a smug look, gaze only refocusing on the battle as the next pokemon swiftly made its entrance. this one had time to attack, thankfully. sindel grinned, immensely satisfied that she would be granted a challenge. the embers came, and the fighting-type merely stood idle, accepting the damage in exchange for taking note of the young fire-types pattern of movement.
"pan!"
baring her pointed teeth, she grinned as the little lion moved to tackle before dodging it with a swiftly executed sidestep. the panda lunged forward, taking advantage of their close proximity. with a glowing paw, the pancham preformed swift chopping motions meant to strike at the foe's exposed side twice.
"huh?"
that didn't look like arm thrust. her pokedex then proceeded to buzz like crazy and she dug it out of the confines of her backpack, struggling to keep up with the match as she did so.
"pancham has successfully learned a new move; karate chop."
"sweet," she drawled.
iron fist - - lv.12 - - mild. injured tackle - - leer - - arm thrust - - work up - - karate chop sindel was hit by ember! sindel dodged tackle! sindel used karate chop! sidenl used karate chop!
the pancham looks a lot more scarier then it should be. litleo squeaks, bouncing from side to side as the attacks whip by her. she doesn't want to get hit, no not at all! she growls to herself. she needs to start getting stronger! she works up herself and closes in for another tackle.
litleo♀ - level 010 - keen eye moveset: tackle, leer, ember work up,
the pancham glared at the creature as it nimbly avoided both of her strikes. but she remained determined, wanting nothing more than to cause the predatory pokemon to fall by her paw and hers alone. as it prepped itself for another strike, the black and white creature merely stood idle.
"use work up as well!"
as the litleo got pumped, so did she. only increasing the effectiveness of her move as she stared at her opponent with a malicious glint in her eye.
"dodge it!"
the normal-type had lunged, and the fighting-type responded by repeating the action. andrea released a gasp as her pancham did this, only to relax as the creature nimbly side-stepped the physical strike. her paw glowed, and she moved to slam down upon the little lion's exposed middle with a snarl.
"that's my girl," she drawled, her smile positively wolfish.
iron fist - - lv.12 - - mild. injured
+1 attack
tackle - - leer - - arm thrust - - work up - - karate chop
litleo's positively smacked aside by the karate chop, and that attack's just enough to let it faint. poor thing. norman returns it and takes out another, slakoth taking form on the field.
the pokemon yawns before rushing forward and using a feint attack at the pancham, disappearing and swiping from behind the pokemon.
the bubble had brought on a certain drowsiness that left the fighting-type stumbling and blinking confusedly. andrea had seen this before, and cursed loudly once she had identified the signs, her eyes narrowed as she observed as the normal-type followed up the strike with another that left the young fighter growling in irritation.
"sindel, ya got enough fight left in ya. might as well use it while ya can," andrea said.
"pancham!"
despite her drowsiness, the pokemon flexed her paws and readied herself.
"karate chop!"
the pokemon lunged toward the normal-type, thrusting her paw toward the beast's side.
"give 'em another!"
sindel obeyed, a tired grin forming as she continued her initial strike with another.
iron fist - - lv.13 - - mod. injured - - drowsy +1 attack tackle - - leer - - arm thrust - - work up - - karate chop sindel was hit by yawn! sindel is drowsy! sindel was hit by feint attack! sindel used karate chop! sindel used karate chop!
slakoth rolls over, trying to to dodge the attacks. it's surprisingly nimble for being such a lazy pokemon. but then it's effect takes place. it's truant, refusing to move for even another attempt to move.
pancham had fallen asleep by the time her blows failed to land, collapsing in a lump of fat and fur as she fell. andrea grumbled something unintelligible before producing another capsule and tossing it into the arena.
"lux!"
the feline pokemon stepped forward, teeth bared as she faced her foe. she stood ready and willing to fight, claws unsheathing to dig into the arena's floor.
"luxio!"
"charge!"
electricity visibly contorted and writhed across the pokemon's figure, her body growing tense as she readied herself to attack the normal-type pokemon.
"now spark!"
tanya released a powerful surge toward the furry mammal.
iron fist - - lv.13 - - mod. injured - - asleep +1 attack tackle - - leer - - arm thrust - - work up - - karate chop sindel has fallen asleep! sindel was returned!
the electric shock leaves slakoth's fur burned and smoking. it hurts, for real. he's down to his last leg, the pokemon flashes his claws and goes in for another scratch at the luxio.
andrea grinned as she could feel herself nearing victory. it was all-too close. and it felt positively glorious. with a smug look etched onto her features, she snapped her fingers, which granted her pokemon free reign. the electric-type, at first, danced away from the attempted scratch - bouncing gracefully upon her toes as she warily eyed the slow creature.
"lux..."
the pokemon neared the normal-type, her steps carefully measured as she oozed with confidence and superiority. another crackle of energy surrounded her, granting her the power she needed to bring this to an end.
"lux!"
eyes widening, the pokemon dug into herself and released yet another surge of electricity, relentless as she aimed for the weakened slakoth.
the electric attack causes slakoth to seize up. its fur smokes as it faints, and slakoth is left fainted. norman returns the pokemon and walks over to the challengers, offering a congratulations and the balance badge in his palm.
