"Saphira, please, for the love of Arceus..."
The girl's voice pleaded softly with the orange lizard, whose head was currently stuffed into the moist ground below them. They had just departed from Professor Elm's lab to set off on their journey. Barely moments in, some Pokemon nearby had stirred up a ruckus and frightened the daydreaming Charmander into sticking her head into the dirt. Tanya brushed back stray hairs, her other hand resting upon her hip as she surveyed the quivering Pokemon beneath her. "There's nothing to be frightened of, you goofball. Now c'mon, we're never going to get anywhere if you sit here hiding." The girl knelt on her knees and gently tugged the Charmander's head out of the ground.
"Char, char!" the fire lizard replied, dark brown eyes looking sweet and abashed. Tanya put a hand under Saphira's chin and tilted the lizard's head so she could lock their gazes. "Whatever happens doll, I'm right here," she grinned. Saphira smiled, and with an impish look in her eyes, darted away from her Trainer.
"A few words can go a long way," Tanya muttered to herself, chasing down her fleeing companion. "Saphira, try not to set the grass on fire!" She called after the Charmander, increasing her foot speed just in case.

Saphira darted happily across the fields, only to halt for a moment after hearing a noise. "Char?" she let out, turning her head towards the noise with a tilt of her head. Swishing her fiery tail back and forth, she noticed a small pink Pokemon float around in the air. "Hoppip! Hoppip!" it cried, seeming as if it was in its own little world. It floated by the Charmander without noticing, making Saphira watch it with wide eyes. The Hoppip noticed her and turned its head, blinking slightly. "Pip?" it cried, floating near Saphira. It then saw her trainer and giggled. "Pip, piiiiiip!" it cried, floating back a ways from the Charmander and took in a fighting stance. It wanted to battle! Wild Hoppip wants to battle! (Level 4)

Saphira turned around as Tanya caught up to her. The trainer's emerald eyes widened, but a smile dawned on her face as the Hoppip seemed to desire a fight. "This should be some fun, right Saphira?" Tanya said, winking at her Charmander. "Char!" the lizard replied, spinning around to prep her own battle stance.
Tanya's mind was whirring already. We should play it safe at first, and just lower its Attack so its blows don't hurt so hard. Nodding to herself, Tanya pointed at the Hoppip much like any trainer would, and spoke in a clear, commanding voice. "Okay Saphira, start off with Growl!"
Saphira dug her feet into the ground and hummed quietly in her throat before uttering a loud growl that would hopefully lessen any future blows from the Hoppip.

Saphira let out the loud growl towards the Hoppip, sending it floating back and dizzy at the impact. It shook its head and giggled, unleashing a Splash attack, yet it proved to be a very useless attack. The battle had just started and so far, none of the Pokemon have attacked each other.

Tanya frowned as the Hoppip merely floated away and giggled before attempting Splash. It was well known that Splash was a really useless move. Perhaps it knew nothing more. A smirk curved her lips. This was going to be an easy battle, or so she hoped. Saphira would begin to let her mind wander if Tanya wasn't quick enough in ordering another attack.
"Char?" Saphira asked, turning her head slightly to peer at her trainer. "Okay Saphira, use Scratch this time!" Tanya ordered, watching her Charmander rush forwards obediently to swipe at the Hoppip with sharp claws.

Saphira slashed the Hoppip, landing a critical hit! The Hoppip floated back a ways, and its eyes were swirls now. It shook its head and tried another Splash attack, but it failed! Saphira was doing really well for her first battle. Battle Hoppip | Level 4 | Health: 65% Status: Attack -1 Saphira | Level 5 | Health: 100% Status: Normal

The blow landed, and the Hoppip had been knocked dizzy. From afar, the Scratch had looked really strong. Tanya grinned, proud of her Charmander for doing so well. "Great job, Saphira!" she called out, chuckling as Saphira waggled her fiery tail in response to the praise. One more blow and it might be weak enough to catch.
With that in mind, Tanya set her mind to the battle once more. "Alright Saphira, one more Scratch!" she cried, feeling insanely proud of her little friend as Saphira once again leaped at the Hoppip with her claws swiping down.

Saphira nodded and swipped her claws at the Hoppip, landing another critical hit!! The Hoppip hovered over the ground slightly and panted heavily, almost close to fainting. If Tanya had the desire too, this could be her chance to catch the Pokemon or weaken it a bit more so she could catch it. The Hoppip tried one more Splash but it continued to miss.

Another powerful blow landed, Saphira danced back, dark eyes fully focused on the exhausted and weak Hoppip floating before her. The flame atop her tail blazed with the rush of adrenaline she felt. Tanya's grin widened, and the girl groped in her bag for a Pokeball. Her emerald eyes locked on the Hoppip.
Sure, it was weak now, but there was always the trick of sending it out first, and then letting Saphira mop up for some extra Exp. Resolved, Tanya raised her right arm and prepared a good toss. "Look out, Saphira!" she warned her Charmander, who obediently shuffled out of the way. The girl threw the ball, and it cut a straight path right to the Hoppip. Oh, work please!

The Hoppip looked around slightly confused as the Charmander in front of her skipped to one side. It slowly turned it's head to see the trainer throw a Pokeball which came flying towards her. However, it was quite weak and unable to dodge the round object... The Pokeball popped open and a bright light sucked the Pokemon inside, quickly locking it inside.

HoppipName: Kalian Gender: Female Level: 4 Attacks: Splash, Synthesis Nature: Jolly Personality: A happy Hoppip no matter what happens, Kalian likes to go flying away in the winds that often pluck her from Tanya's side. Sometimes she deliberately finds gale force winds and undergoes a whirlwind ride that leaves her dizzy and nauseous, much to the contempt of her trainer. Kalian is a good battler, but with not much for attack power, she doesn't see much action. - "Yeah!" Tanya cheered in triumph as the ball clicked to confirm its capture. "Char? Charmander?" Saphira asked, trotting over with a huge smile on her face. Tanya giggled and bent down to hug her partner. "You did a fantastic job sweetheart! I'm so proud of you." Saphira's cheeks flushed with pleasure, and the fire lizard turned away with a sheepish smile. Tanya rose to her feet again and looked around after retrieving her Pokeball. "Onwards!" she said, continuing on as if the little battle had been nothing more than a speed bump. Saphira quickly followed, eyes peeled for anything ready to spring out at them.

As Tanya and Saphira continued onwards, nothing much was really going on. It was quite a peaceful little area, with only faint sounds of chirping Pidgey lingering close by. The odd rustling of bushes sometimes occured, but whatever was inside would charge in the opposite direction of the fierce-looking Charmander... Though it was probably more scared.
However, as the pair pressed on, something eventually caught Saphira's attention. It cried once or twice, pointing over to a grassey patch, trying to make Tanya look. On a small bed of greenery laid a cute little feline pokemon. It was curled up into a ball, enjoying the rays of the warm sun. Though it wasn't asleep. It lazily opened an eye, spotting the trainer.
Perhaps if Tanya moved in closer, she could battle the Meowth? Or maybe she wanted to continue looking?

Saphira's cries attracted Tanya's wandering mind, and the girl glanced over at the basking feline. It looked so little curled up in a ball like that. One eye watched the pair as they paused in their stroll, pondering what to do. Tanya crossed her arms and stared at the Meowth, chewing her lip. Meowth was a pretty good Pokemon even for beginning trainers like herself.
Tanya smiled and began to walk forwards slowly. Saphira darted ahead of her, already eager for another fight. She stopped before the Meowth, brown eyes sparkling with the excitement yet to come. "Charrrrr-mander!" the lizard cried, announcing her challenge.

The Meowth uncurled itself nonchalantly, barely intimidated at all by Saphira's approach. It seemed to be an easy-going Pokemon that was comfortable among trainers and even other Pokemon. Perhaps it had been domesticated once in one of its nine lives. " Meowwww-thh," cried the cat Pokemon and got up onto its hind legs to show that it was ready for a battle.

"All right!" Tanya cheered to herself, fingers curling into a fist in triumph. There was something about cats she'd always liked. As Saphira waited patiently for an order, Tanya was already plotting her strategy. Not knowing her opponent's strength was always a bit of a downfall, but there was that saying; nothing ventured, nothing gained
Face falling into a mask of seriousness, Tanya pointed towards the Meowth, resting her free hand on her hip. "Kay Saphira, let's try out your Ember attack!" the girl called out. Saphira inhaled a quick lungful of air and spat out a mouthful of embers at the feline.
