litwick♂ - level 010 - flame body moveset: ember, astonish, minimize smog, fire spin, confuse ray
litwick drifts toward the trainer, beady yellow eyes locked on him as it approaches. it's so happy to finally meet one of those fabled trainers! it moves a little closer to seth. hello sir how's it going?
[ SETH ] Oh no. It's too cute. Seth's hands went up to his face, covering his mouth which had made a little 'o' shape in his excitement. It was a candle, but a Pokemon! So adorable. And it floated! Seth forced his eyes away just long enough to whip out his pokedex and scan it. 'Litwick'? Because it needed to be cuter. Seth could use a fire type, too. There was no reason not to catch this Pokemon, and Seth was just dying to do that.
The Shinx noticed his excitement and got battle ready. More companions for her, it looked like. She growled at the floating Pokemon, trying to Intimidate it. Seth leapt into action immediately, "Tackle, then Ice Fang, Shinx!" Attacking was usually the best strategy, and Seth couldn't hold off even the short time it would take to disorient the Litwick. He wanted to catch it, and he wanted to catch it, now.
[ SUMMARY ] - Shinx's ability Intimidate activated! - Shinx used Tackle! - Shinx used Ice Fang!
- 154 - haha silly seth, doesnt know his type effectivenesses quite yet

the ice fang barely grazes it's candle. it feels a bit chilly but otherwise it barely feels a thing. litwick feels a bit weaker, but he's still definitely in the game. from his mouth comes a purple smog, headed right for the shinx.

[ SETH ] The Litwick barely looked hurt! The Tackle hadn't seemed to have any effect at all, and the Ice Fang--what Seth thought was Shinx's most powerful move--looked to have barely fazed the thing. That Smog didn't look like it would do anything good for Shinx, either. It had to be a tough Pokemon, which only made Seth want it more. With that, however, was the realization that Seth and his Pokemon were going to have to work harder on this one.
"Avoid its attacks, Shinx, and keep going at it!" Some damage was better than none, so Ice Fang would just have to cut it. Shinx danced around to avoid the Smog then jumped at the Litwick to teach what cold really was.
[ SUMMARY ] - Shinx dodged the Smog! - Shinx used Ice Fang! - Shinx used Ice Fang again!

it's not long before shinx starts to whittle down the pokemon's health. litwick faints, the ember on the top of it's head dimming until it's only a small speck of orange.

[ SETH ] Any empathetic pain from hurting the Litwick was overshadowed by the excitement of catching it. Seth would just have to make it up to all his new Pokemon. Hopefully treating them well would earn forgiveness for hurting them initially. His Shinx really seemed to like him, so why wouldn't he be good with other Pokemon, too? Maybe her bond with him would encourage the new ones. Their personalities were so varied, too--Seth could tell even from the short interactions he'd had with them so far. How they responded to seeing a trainer was different each time, and Seth was eager to befriend them all.
Seth threw the pokeball as soon as he noticed the little candle had fainted, nearly shaking in excitement. His third catch of the day! Just looking at Shinx Seth could tell she had gotten a lot more powerful through these battles. He could only look forward to the excitement of seeing her and his new Pokemon grow more. "Shinx, we did it!" Seth knelt down to ruffle her fur and play with her for a minute. It was starting to get dark out, so Seth decided the full day was done and went off in the direction of Littleroot.
