get on my level . [ sigma ]

Sigma had in the end returned to Littleroot Town, as he had forgotten his back bag in the prof. Birch's lab. It was  a bit awkward to return to get it, but he did get his white back bag and was now honestly ready to head to Oldale. 

This really wasn't Sigma's day though. Just mistakes after mistakes. Oh well. Maybe luck will turn today for the better. Sigma brightened up his own thoughts and clenched his fists, getting a bit pumped up.

He remained in his thoughts a bit more, as he could hear some steps get closer to Sigma and he turned to look at the source. It was girl, most likely around Sigma's age and... was she wearing a black school girl uniform?
"..." Sigma stared at a bit, but then flinched as the girl spoke up.

She asked if Sigma wanted to fight. Even though he didn't have any experience in them, you had to start from somewhere, the young man decided to accept the challenge. Even if the trainer might have pokemon a lot stronger than Sigma's Torchic, the loss won't be an useless one. You can learn from those also.
"Sure. Is right here good enough or do you want to look for some place better?" he replied with a proud smile, digging up his pokeball from his jacket's pocket to be ready.

LAIKA OF GS!

So this location was good, eh? That's good. Didn't have to waist time on searching for a better location. In a way it was a big relief, because Sigma did want to still get to Oldale today and not spend a night outside.

The girl started taking a distance from Sigma, so he walked to the opposite direction to get the necessary distance. Sigma listened to the girl's steps and as he could hear her stop, Sigma turned around.
"Fenghuang!" he called out, releasing a orange colored chick pokemon. As the Torchic did appear, it responded to Sigma's call with a loud chirp, seeming quite excited.

His seemed to have chosen to battle with a Sneasel. If Sigma remembered correctly, it  was an ice&dark type pokemon, which would mean that Sigma was at an advantage. Though he won't think that this is an easy battle. You never know what to expect from an opponent.

Alright time to begin. The girl had given the first move to Sigma and he'll gladly accept the offer. Sneasels were well known for their speed and power, so it was better to try to weaken it's attack power and try to keep a distance.
"Fenghuang! First use Growl and afterwords Ember!" Sigma commanded, with his hand raised towards the opponent's Sneasel..

The Torchic made a quick not and took a sturdy stance, then made a loud chirp towards the Sneasel and the air slightly distorted as the sound headed towards it. And right after that, the chick pokemon breathed in, with it's chest puffing out and blew the  air, with small bolts of fire flying along it towards the Sneasel.

LAIKA OF GS!

Sigma himself remained calm both when the growl had hit the Sneasel and when it dodged the Torchic's Ember with ease. Fenghuang though seemed excited as the Growl had hit, but soon got slightly frustrated as it's other attack was dodged. You could even hear something similar to a "hmph" from Fenghuang, though it still was a chirp.

Now was the Sneasel's turn to attack as it's trainer had commanded it to strike with the move Dark Pulse, followed by a beam formed by dark purple rings. Before the Torchic could even act, it was hit by the beam and pushed back a couple of feets by the force of the attack, though it was able to keep it's footing and not end up flying. Though it was obvious that the hit had taken it's toll. It was obvious to Sigma the Fenghuang couldn't take that many more of those attacks.

Now a second blast of Dark Pulse was flying towards, following the command to repeat the same move by the Sneasel's trainer. This time Sigma called out to his pokemon.
"Dodge the attack and attack with another Ember!" he yelled and the Torchic acted immediately, stepping away from the beam's way and straight away breathed in some air and blasted a new storm of small fire bolts.

"Strike up with another Ember and this time shake your head a bi while doing so!" Sigma straight away yelled out another command and once again the Torchic blew out another blast with it's Ember move, shaking it's head a bit, causing the small bolts of fire to spread out on a much larger area then normally.

LAIKA OF GS!

Fenghuang was visibly in joy as the spread shot Ember had hit it's mark and caused a huge amount of damage. So much that another hit like that would definetely take the Sneasel down. Sigma was just as excited, but kept a calm manner and spoke up to his pokemon.
"Good job. Don't let your guard down yet though, Fenghuang."
The Torchic heard this and was now a bit more calm.

The opponent's Sneasel was now running towards Fenghuang with the attempt to use Scratch. It was running at a pretty good speed, so Fenhuang wouldn't be able to use Ember before the Sneasel could attack.
"Brace yourself, Fenguang and take the hits!" Sigma told his pokemon and like always the Torchic followed the orders, taking once again a firm stance.

The Sneasel got up to Sigma's Torchic and scratched at Fenghuang, who seemed to be in slight pain, but kept it's stance. Once Sigma saw a chance that Ember could be used he yelled out.
"Ember! Now!"
The Torchic reaponded quickly to the young man's commanda and breathed in some air, puffing out it's chest and then blowing the same kind of small fire bolts from close range.

LAIKA OF GS!

The Sneasel went down as the Ember had, but that was slemthing that Sigma was expecting either way.
"Great job! Keep it up, Fenghuang!" Sigma complimented his pokemon. This was something he was proud of and Fenghuang seemed like so too, puffing it's chest in pride as their opponent trainer had snuck in a complement while calling back her now fainted Sneasel.
"Appreciate the compliment. And go ahead. We're ready." Sigma thanked and responded as the opponent called out a new pokemon.

Another Dark type. Though it was half Psychic this time. It was the pokemon called Inkay. Sigma did say tha they were ready, though he honwstly wasn't sure if the could beat this one. Fenghuang was visibly panting from the earlier fight, so a single powerful move was enough to beat him.

Then the Inkay on command went for a Tackle on hit the Torchic hard. It hadn't been ready for the hit, so Fenghuang flew a couple of feet and rolled on the ground, soon standing up. Once it had stood up, the air around the Torchic started to distort from the heat that it's body was eminating. Even it's eyes seemed filled with flames of passion. It was obvious to Sigma that his pokemon's Blaze ability had activated.

The Inkay wasn't going to give time to rest though and continued it's attack with a Dark Pulse. Sigma reacted quickly and had decided to use Blaze to his advantage.
"Jump up in the air and use Ember, also shaking your head just like last time!"
The Torchic jumped up several feets, dodging the powerful beam of dark rings. It then once again breathed in air and blew out a spreaded storm of bolts of fire, now bigger than they were earlier because of Blaze ability, which strenghtened Fenghuang's Fire-type moves.
So a rain of fire was heading towards the foe's Inkay, hopefully being enough to take it down.

LAIKA OF GS!

Just one more tackle was enough for the Inkay to take Fenghuang down and the chick flew a couple of feet, now unconscious, laid there on the ground.
"You did great, Fenghuang. You'll get to rest now." Sigma said to his pokemon in a calm manner, returning the pokemon to it's capsule and putting it back in his jacket's pocket.

Sigma raised his left hand in the air kinda lazily and sighed a little.
"It's my loss. Fenghuang was my only pokemon." he admitted his defeat quite nonchalantly.

The young man then proceeded to smile s bit, pondering about the trainer who had challenged him pretty much out of nowhere. It couldn't hurt to get introduced, right? No. It shouldn't at least, so Sigma walked up to the trainer holding his hand for a handshake.
"It was a good battle, miss. In the end you came out victorious, but if we meet again, I won't lose." he said to the girl with a very polite tone.

LAIKA OF GS!

Though the compliments were towards Fenghuang, Sigma felt a bit happy about and his smile turned a bit bigger.
"Mhm. I'm sure Fenghuang is hungry for a rematch." he replied, chuckling a bit.

Then the girl seemed ro have started to ponder a bit and Sigma looked at her with a raised brow. He wondering what she was thinking and thankfully his curiosity was diminished as the girl spoke up. She offered a pokemon of hers for a pokeball and Sigma looked at her quite surprised by this. It was a generous offer, but he didn't know if she was genuinely offering her Pancham or if it was some kind scheme.
No. It couldn't be that. This girl didn't seem like the kind to trick people. At least right now. She just didn't have that kind of vibe, so Sigma decided to trust her.
"I'll gladly accept your offer. I have to say the this awfully generous of you. Especially since we just met." he laughed, as he took of his back bag and dug up an empty pokevall from there, handing it over to the girl in exhange for the one the girl was holding.

Then the girl spoke up again, introducing herself abd asking for Sigma's name in a way.
"Sigma. Just Sigma. Noobie trainer." he replied to Andrea, lowering his head a bit for a modest bow. This was an usual habit in Sigma's family that had to be dond to everybody they meet, but he had decided to do this only to those he thinks that deserve this polite gesture.
