[attr="class","axscroll"] Axel was rather happy with himself right now. It only took him a couple of hours to get off 101 and into Oldale, and once he stopped in the Pokemon Center and got everyone rested up, he learned that Holly had learned a new move! Things were looking up for him so far. He was slowly understanding what being a Trainer was about, and how to train his Pokemon too. And, even though Axel didn't want to admit it, Holly was growing on him. They might have had a rocky start in the beginning, but the Chespin was growing on him. He felt a little bad that he wanted to trade her away asap.
Once Holly and the Phantump were rested up, he grabbed their Pokeballs and darted out of Oldale and onto the next route that lead to Petalburg City. And after that was Rustboro, and Axel couldn't be more excited. He dashed into a sprint on the route and couldn't wait to see the next city. He was pretty sure Holly was just as excited too. Despite her drama queen personality, she seemed to enjoy battling as well.
this lotad likes battling too. he swam out of a nearby pond and hopped his way over onto the route. he stopped in front of the trainer and growled. he was ready for a battle.
[attr="class","axscroll"]The one thing Axel wasn't expecting was a small little Lotad to challenge him to a battle. His journey long the route had been quite, and if the Pokemon didn't growl, Axel would have nearly stepped on the Pokemon. He backed up a few feet and stared down at the growling Pokemon, almost snickering as he realized the Pokemon wanted a battle. That little thing wanted to battle him? Well, alright. "Alright little guy, you can get your battle." Axel said with a grin, picking off a Pokeball and releasing his newly caught Phantump.
The nameless Phantump was released and stared at the Lotad with just as much confusion. She had this in the bag. "Alright Phantump, use Confuse Ray, and then Tackle!" Axel called out. If he could get the Lotad confused for a few turns, then he was set and could move on. He also couldn't help but feel that maybe the Pokemon gods were telling him that he was meant to be a grass type trainer instead...
The Phantump nodded and obeyed. Her eyes glowed a ghostly aura before a ghostly orb tried to circle itself around the Lotad, possibly confusing it in the process. After that, the Phantump mustered up the courage and charged forward in a Tackle attack.
[attr="class","axscroll"]Perfect! The Lotad was hit by the Confuse Ray. This made the battle 100 times easier for Axel and his Phantump. The smaller Pokemon wobbled around like he was on drugs or something, hurting himself in the process. Axel couldn't help but laugh a little bit at the sight. Confuse Ray was a pretty useful move, maybe this Phantump was useful after all. But the Lotad broke through the confusion for a moment, aiming perfectly and landing an Absorb onto the Phantump.
The move barely did any damage and the Phantump didn't even flinch. This battle was pretty much theirs. "Awesome! Okay, just keep attacking it with Tackles, alright Phantump?" Axel instructed. The half ghost half grass type obeyed and raised her arms, dashing forward and yelling a ghostly cry as she tried to tackle the Lotad one time and then one more time!
Phantump was hit by Absorb! Phantump used Tackle twice
[attr="class","axscroll"]Bam! The two Tackles had hit successfully and the Lotad was sent flying. The Phantump had to take a moment to register what she had done to the poor Lotad. Did she really do that? She hovered forward, looking over the fainted Lotad and tilting her head at it, curious why it had challenged Axel in the first place.
Axel came running up behind the Phantump, patting her head and returning her to her Pokeball. "Awesome! Good going, Phantump. Maybe I will keep ya." He said as he placed her Pokeball back on his belt. He stared down at the Lotad and debated whether or not it'd be worth catching. Water types had to be useful, especially for the upcoming gym apparently. He took one of his empty Pokeballs out of his bag, moving the egg around and was careful not to scratch it. He then tossed it gently at the fainted Pokemon.
