Soren gave a thumbs up, his eyes brimming with optimistic delight. "That's the way! Come on ladies! To Greyhill City!" He cheered.

Nora took a deep breath and glanced at Tinte before following after Soran. "So who wants to challenge the gym leader first?" She looked at Soran and Malia, catching up to them. "I'm fine waiting."

(It's been so long I don't remember much...)
Malia looked over at Nora. "If you're fine with waiting, then I won't hesitate to go first." she stated. "But that depends on Soran, too." she glanced at him, Slugma in her arms.

(Well, Nora only has a Horsea and a Magikarp. I still have the list of pokemon I want her to catch.)

Soran gave a small shrug. "You can go first, Malia. That way I can get extra pumped for my own battle!" He grinned.

All right)
"It's settled, then!" Malia decided. "I'll have to make a good first impression for you guys." she said, looking down at Slugma. "I think we got what it takes, right?"

Nora chuckled lightly. "Soran are you sure you just don't want to use Malia to learn how to fight the gym leader?"

"Wah?! No!" Soran gasped, though he inwardly balked at how easily Nora seemed to see right through him. He had already lost battles and wanted to find a way to finally win with his less than fierce Pokemon.

Nora giggled lightly. "If you say so." She ran further ahead. "I think I see Grayhill City!"

"Oh, really!" Soran cheered, racing quickly after the girls as he hollered. "Finally! I thought we'd be in the Sealeaf Forest forever!"

"It feels good to be out of the forest!" Malia breathed with relief. "I wonder where that Beedrill went, though." she looked back at the exit momentarily before looking at the looming city ahead.

"Should we stop at the pokemon center before going to the gym?" Nora looked back at the others. She was totally fine if that Beedrill wanted to stay away.

Nora was seated on the edge of the Greyhill city fountain. Tinte, her Horsea, was happily playing in the water, making bubbles and ink splotches, while Spritzen, her Magikarp enjoyed a good petting from his trainer. "Oh...what are we going to do, guys?" Nora asked them softly, biting her lip. Malia and Soran were no doubt preparing for their gym match. They're probably going to get the badge right off the bat. Malia would at least, she was also so confident and sure of herself and her pokemon. I hope I don't have to have three pokemon to compete. She heard in some regions, in order to have a gym battle you had to at least have three pokemon. She only had Tinte and Spritzen. And Spritzen only knows Splash. She rubbed her hand down her magikarp's hard scales, smiling softly at how happy the gesture made the pokemon. Nora took a deep breath. She'd barely been in pokemon battles before, now she was going to do a gym battle? At least I'll be able to watch Malia and Soran compete first. She could learn how the gym leader fights and maybe devise a strategy? I just don't want to let my pokemon down...

"Boo!" Soran popped up behind Nora, his Skitty mewing with her own tone of surprise. His Petilil clung to her usual spot on his shoulder, and Soran plopped himself down next to his friend. "Geez! You look like a Metagross, all thoughtful and still-faced! You doing okay?"

Nora full out screamed in fright when Soran suddenly popped behind her. She would've fallen into the fountain had it not been for Spritzen. The magikarp faithfully caught her before splashing angrily at Soran for what he did. "Soran! You shouldn't sneak up on me like that!"

Soran gave a sheepish laugh, scratching his head and beanie. He apologized. "Ah, sorry Nora! I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I've been training with Petilil and Skitty all day, so I decided to take a break. Dan's a pretty tough gym leader for beginners, I've heard. But! Nothing we can't handle!"
He turned to look at a group of walking trainers, about their age, though they chatted loudly about something else. One of the trainers held a Budew in her arms, while another had a Dustox on his head. The girl piped up.
"Breezebell Province here we come! Good thing we stopped here, though the League Trainers are certainly all about. You think we'll see some good contestants?"
"Naturally." The boy puffed, clearly bold and expressive. He grinned. "Dusty's gonna blow away the conpetition. Literally! The gust combo'll get us that ribbon for sure."
"Contestants." Soran hummed lightly, crossing his arms. "I don't watch many contests. Why do that when you could get badges?"

Magikarp was still angrily splashing at Soran for scaring Nora.
Nora followed his gaze to the contestants. "Oh...I've a few contests with my grandparents when I was little. A lot of them were really pretty..." She bit her lip. If she tried for contests, maybe she wouldn't have to see her pokemon get hurt? But how am I supposed to come up with routines?

"Hmph." Soran chuckled. "Yeah, they sound pretty, but what about the heat of battle? A Pokemon can show off their moves, but in battle, they're truly used to their capacity!" He quieted suddenly, as though remembering something. He brightened once more, before he turned away from the contestants and looked at Nora, lifting an arm to block the splashing water.
"So. Any plans for how you're gonna take on Dan?"

"Spriten, you should calm down." Nora told her pokemon softly.
"Karp, karp, karp, karp!" The fish just kept splashing.
At Soran's question, Nora bit her lip. "Um...No not really...I guess I'll think of something watching you and Malia battle."

"Hmm...well, I won't say that's a bad idea, cause it's not! But! I do think you should find a battle style you can call your own! Every trainer has one!" Soran offered, before he grinned. "I hope you like the strategy I have planned for Petilil and Skitty. We've been working hard."

"I can't wait to see it." Nora smiled softly, but then turned her eyes downward. "I'm not sure what battle stragety I could use. All Spritzen's knows is splash and Tinte knows bubble and smokescreen."

"Hm...that is a problem, isn't it?...Oh! Easy!" Soran took out his Pokedex, fiddled with it for a moment, and showed it to Nora. "See here? Magikarps can learn Tackle pretty early on! So, all we gotta do is teach it Tackle...er, at least try to."
|

Post by 🌙Moonpower🌙 on Apr 30, 2018 11:49:05 GMT -5
"Tackle?" Nora leaned forward to look at the pokedex. "How do we do that?"

"Tackle?" Nora leaned forward to look at the pokedex. "How do we do that?" Soran grinned brightly, nudging Skitty off his shoulder and watching her pounce to the ground, tail waving happily. "Easy! Skitty knows Tackle right now! She can help Spritzen learn it."

Nora looked back at her pokemon. "What do you say, Spritzen? Ready to learn a new move?"
"Karp, Karp. Karp. Karp. Karp." The magikarp just kept splashing in the water.
Nora raised her hand to the back of her head. "I guess that's a yes."

"Okay!" Soran leaped up, walking back and speaking to his Skitty. "Ready to go?"
The pink and cream pokemon gave a squeal of excitement, chasing her tail a few times, before she hopped and faced Spritzen. Soran called out.
"Watch, alright? Skitty, use Tackle!"
The Skitty pawed at the ground, before a very thin pulse of greyish light sparked around her, before dissapearing, as she rushed forward and rammed into a can on the ground, sending it flying.
