Ya ready, Froakie?"
Their chances weren't particularly solid. But she was willing to give it a shot. She had collected some kid from the streets, flashing her capsule while casting him a challenging grin simultaneously. It had worked, fortunately enough, her desire to cast her Pokemon into the ring only increasing as she faced her opponent. The water-type burst free, releasing a quiet noise of challenge as it stood ready.
"Ya best try yer hardest, frog," she drawled.
A small collection of clouds hovered high above. The conditions were rather good and accompanied by a nice breeze. The streets were sparsely populated, with a select few lingering in order to observe the battle.
"Ready on yer side, kid?"
Her lips curled in a teasing manner as she eyed the curious-lookin' stranger.

In a random act of fate, Misha ended up getting pulled into a battle by a random female trainer. He’d been minding his own business, exploring Littleroot a bit after stopping by Professor Birch’s office for a pokemon. While being suddenly pulled aside was a little annoying, the Magma grunt figured it was as good a time as any to try out his new pichu.
His feelings about the matter would be further solidified when the young woman tossed out a froakie. A water-type pokemon meant that his electric-type pichu would have a bit of an advantage, especially since she had an electric-type move. Misha fought the urge to smirk upon this revelation, and smiled cheerily at the frog pokemon instead. “What a cutie! Not as cute as my pokemon, but definitely in the top twenty!” He giggled before tossing out his pichu.
“Alright, Molly. Don’t push your self too hard, kay? We’ll aim to win, but it’s ok if we don’t.” He cooed gently before his voice returned to a more overtly upbeat tone. “This isn’t that different from a contest, right? So, lets show that froakie how charming you are, and how cute you are when you wiggle your tail!” The dumb, and cheerful attitude was a farce, of course. Just as Molly’s moves were aimed to disarm her opponent, Misha’s attitude was meant to lull the other trainer into a false sense of security.
After receiving her master’s command, Molly leaned forward with a cheery “chuu~” before cutely wiggling her tail. Once she straightened up once more she would hold her arms out with a cheery “Pi!” as if she were asking the froakie for a hug.

The moves caught the Fraokie off guard, with the creature guffawing in absolute amusement at the opposing pair's antics. He cast his owner a smug grin, one that Andrea returned. It was cute and all, but, was this all the strange male had to boast? At least it made for an entertaining show.
"Cute Poke," she agreed, shaking her head. "It'd make fer a fine contest competitor, fella."
She gestured, and the water-type released an amused noise in the form of a croak.
"Hit the Pichu with a Bubble!"
Froakie slammed a paw into the paved street, mouth opening wide as it gathered the finite collection of bubbles before launching 'em toward the electric-type.
"Froakie!"
Andrea chuckled confidently, the male's facade proving effective in reassuring her that victory was a near certainty.

As expected, the other trainer and her pokemon seemed rather secure in their position. Misha and Molly wouldn’t let up just yet, however. They weren’t about to laze around and take hits, but they also weren’t going to betray the fact that they were stronger than they seemed to be. “Uh…” Misha knit his brow in faux distress, as if he wasn’t sure how to deal with the froakie’s use of bubble. “Use… Er… Thundershock. Shock it! Uh! Not to hard, though!”
When she was finally ordered to move, Molly immediately dropped down on all fours to charge up a thundershock to shoot off at the other pokemon. Unfortunately, the other pokemon’s move didn’t pause just because Misha didn’t know what to do, and by the time the pichu finally sent off the bolt of electricity, she was hit by the bubbles. Having the bubbles popped in her face caused her aim to be off a bit. If they were lucky, the move would hit, but there was still a very real chance that it would miss completely.
“It’ll be ok, Molly!” Misha shouted encouragingly, wincing when his pokemon was hit by the bubbles. “Just shake it off with another tail whip. You’ll be ok.”
Finding this to be a sound theory, the pichu would get up, and cutely wiggle her tail and body, much like a dog would to shake off water. It didn’t do much for her eyes, but a few swipes with her paws at least made it a little more bearable. The pichu’s vision was distorted, and her dodge speed would be reduced, but all she had to do was shock the other pokemon, and she could do that from a relatively stationary position.

"Froakie!"
The water-type recoiled, inflicted with a hefty amount of damage from the tiny Pichu. Andrea's starter grunted softly, struggling to recover from the sever flash of agony. The force had resulted in a good bit of damage, but the small creature managed to climb back onto its four feet.
"That's it, Java!"
The small Pokemon responded to its earned title well, eyes cracking opening as a small look of determination managed to reach the surface.
"C'mon! Yer not a little bitch. Keep at it, boy!"
The male Pokemon released a low snarl that was directed toward the Pichu.
"Try usin' that speed of yers, boy! Charge 'em and give her a Pound!"
Andrea gestured, pointing toward the electric-type that was now suffering from blurry vision. Java the Froakie pounced, his legs pumping as his paw began to glow dimly. Thrusting his limb toward the tiny yellow Pokemon's belly, he sought to damage her with the normal-type attack.

When the froakie struggled after Molly’s attack, Misha clenched his fists, and struggled to hold back a wild grin. The gods were on his side, it seemed. Despite his pichu’s visibility issues, the trainer was confident that they would be able to win this. Still, he refused to drop the innocent facade. “Oh no!” Misha shouted upon seeing the water-type charge forward. “Watch out, Molly! He’s coming for you, try using one of those thunder shocks again!”
As the pichu worked on charging up a thundershock, it was an obvious re-enactment of the last bout. If she stayed where she was, she might get the blot off, but she was going to get hit again. Despite this, the shadow of a smirk would worm it’s way across Misha’s lips. His gentle demeanor slipped away ever so slightly, and he intently watched the froakie’s approach, his intensity increasing ever so slightly with every step the frog took.
Eventually, Misha’s intensity exploded in the form of a shout. “Jump!” He bellowed, throwing up an arm to further emphasize his command. “Now shock him!” The last command was somewhat redundant, as the pichu quickly released it’s charge. This method was no doubt tricky. It circumvented the accuracy issues stemming from Molly’s vision impairment, but now the pichu was winded, and in close proximity with the other pokemon.
“Yess!” The male trainer grinned, pulling his arm down sharply in celebration. “Great job, Molly. You’re doing great!” Once again, his energy was naive, and cheerful. He was like a kid that accidentally figured out a combo in a fighting game.

Another promise , another seed
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And
all the green belts
wrapped around our minds
endless red tape to keep
the truth confined
They will not force us They will stop degrading us They will not control us

As his paw pounded into the ground uselessly, the water-type was granted the single opportunity of peering over its shoulder. Andrea's mouth moved to order him to dodge, but it was much too late. A terrible surge of energy coursed throughout the Froakie's body, an agonized howl escaping it.
"Shit," she breathed.
The water-type fell over, leg twitching before it rolled over to reveal a pair of dazed eyes. Eventually the creature simply blanked out, falling out of consciousness as his body gave into its injuries. The attack had been a critical hit, and nothing else could be done as it extinguished the remainder of her Pokemon's health. Andrea had been defeated.
"Oh, geeze," she grunted, visibly irritated. "Expected better."
She raised Java's capsule, returning the fainted creature inside. The female then eyed the stranger curiously, a small frown forming.
"Pretty good," she admitted, reluctantly. "Better luck next time, I guess."
