It had been days since her experience in Ilex, and Sandy hadn't been getting too much sleep, due to constant nightmares and even more constant night sickness. Though she had been rid of the poison that had entered her body, she still would feel at random times in the night, like she was sick all over again, but in the end, it was only a cruel trick on her mind. Muru sat up with Berry, the two females watching the blonde sleep, occasionally tossing around, and then resting soundly again. << I wish we would have been there with her. I'm glad the boys were, but..>> Berry nodded in a response to Muru's worries. Though if they had been there or not, it wouldn't have made much of a difference. It still happened, and Sandy would return to normal, when she was ready too. <<She says she wants to challenge the gym tomorrow. The two of us, Hiroki and Scatter are on the front lines.>> Berry mentioned, looking over to the spot on the floor where the prim house cat slept peacefully, breathing easily. Muru hadn't known about this, but she was sure Sandy would have told her that morning. Suddenly, Sandy bolted upright, her breathing unsteady as she tried to figure out where she was. Muru got up and squeezed in between Sandy and the wall, the reassuring warmth making Sandy lie back down again. Berry hopped up just behind Muru and retracted herself into her shell. Both of them knew as long as they were nearby, Sandy would feel alright. Sandy turned herself so she could look out the window of the Pokemon center, the moonlight that streamed in slightly relaxed her. They had a gym battle tomorrow, and it would be one that she'd hopefully be able to win. Turning back, she draped an arm over Muru's velvet fur and closed her eyes, soon being able to sleep again. It wasn't too many hours later that the sun had come up. Sandy, with Berry perched on her shoulder, headed into the Goldenrod City Gym. It had a cute feel to it, all different colors and scents greeting her senses as she entered through the doors. "Whitney sure knows how to decorate..." Sandy commented as she looked around. Spring had seemed like a great time to challenge the gym, and her Pokemon, by now at least, were seasoned fighters. She allowed her pale blue eyes to scan the area around her, but when she still found no one, she called out. "Hello? I'm here to challenge the Gym!"

Goldenrod City Gym
"Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans, skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin' Where you think you're going, baby?"
The crooning voice seemed to resound from everywhere, assaulting the ears of Sandy and her poor, poor Pokémon. Judging by the peppy music playing in the background, whatever this... thing was, it was a pop song from the radio. But where was it coming from.. and why was it being used to torture innocent eardrums? It didn't help the one singing it didn't quite have a strong enough voice either, a little too pitchy for one's tastes. Whatever poor taste that was...
"Hey, I just met you, And this is crazy, But here's my number, So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right, At you baby, But here's my number, So call me, maybe?"
"Kyaaaaaah! Isn't Whitney amazing!?" screamed a voice above the verbal diarrhea, attracting the attention of Berry, who was trying very hard not to cry from how horrible the 'music' was. A girl sat on pink, fluffy beanbag chair propped against a wall, bobbing her head to the song playing throughout the gym. Pressing a button on the black boombox next to her, everything went blissfully silent, though the girl seemed a bit dejected about doing such a thing.
With a light sigh she heaved herself to her feet and flicked a strand of short brown hair from her face, dark brown eyes bright with either determination or delight. "Whitney's new song, you like? SO CUTE. It'll hit number one in no time!" the girl squealed, clapping her hands together and doing a little twirl before realizing what Sandy was likely here for. "Oh phooey, if I get distracted again Whitney will make me pay for the next mani-pedi trip... ummmm... OH! Hi ehehe, my name is, ah, Carrie..."
Flustered, Carrie went pink and stammered to herself, eyes averted from Sandy. Berry stared at her with one eye twitching, wondering what was wrong with this girl dressed like she should be in school. "Hehe.. W-whitney has stationed me here to screen all challengers and would-be fans! So sweetie, if you want an autograph or just to hang with her, you'll need to beat me in a battle! Yeah, that was great!" Carrie declared, seemingly praising herself at the end. How could Sandy battle someone who didn't take her role seriously...?
"Oh dangit, I keep forgetting... where are you now..." Carrie cried after face-palming, frantically searching the pockets of her skirt. Pulling out a ball painted with pink hearts and sporting cutesy stickers, the young girl launched it forwards and let out a very round, pink, blue-eyed creature. Puffing herself up, Jigglypuff gave an intimidating look towards Berry, attempting to make herself look like a challenge. "Jigglypuff and I will be your opponents! Teehee..."
Attention!Lass Carrie is demanding a battle from you... I think...
Her Jigglypuff (Level 20) was sent out to battle!Please choose a Pokémon.

The song that started playing sort of had the effect that made Sandy's eye twitch, just a little bit. If this was even a song that had just been instilled into the radio, Sandy was sort of glad her travels kept her from listening to the radio so often, and she hadn't really even taken it out since the start of her journey. Berry seemed to be having a hard time accepting that this was a song as well, because she was beating one paw against the side of her head. <<Sandy, I think my brain may have melted.>> Sandy looked from her precious turtle to their more than frilly surroundings and nodded. "I see what you mean..." She murmured back, before a scream interrupted her train of thought, or what was left of it anyway. When she turned it off, Sandy and Berry both released a silent breath of relief, the songs reverberations finally subsiding. When she asked about the song, Berry was quick to answer. <<If you call that a song I'd hate to see what you call brain damage!>> She spat harshly, though Sandy placed a hand out in front of her to get her to stop her ramblings. She kept an even smile on her face for a moment before responding herself. "I'm sorry about my Squirtle, she isn't so good with introductions." Sandy explained cheerfully. "The song is...erm...interesting, sure." and by interesting, she didn't mean it was a wonderful creation meant for the ears of the gods above. Ho-oh would sooner light the world on fire than listen to this I'm sure... she thought to herself. Berry's twitching indicated that it was time for them to cut the chatter and get on with the show. Sandy listened to Carrie's introduction and nodded. "Nice to meet you, I'm Sandy." Now, and autograph wasn't what she wanted, but being afraid of what she thought would happen if she begged to differ, she just nodded along until Carrie finally sent out a round Jigglypuff. Carrie, she didn't seem all to serious though, which disheartened Sandy slightly. She picked up a Pokeball of her own and called on Muru, who appeared from her Pokeball with head and tail held high. "Alright, let's kick some cutesy tail Sandy!" Muru called through the girl's mind. Sandy had been getting used to Muru switching from her language to one only the Pokemon understood, but it was still odd to hear her voice. "Come on then Muru, Start things up with Psychic!""With pleasure." Came Muru's haughty response. Berry watched as Muru prepped her attack, flourishing her body in a shade of blue, and she sighed. At least Muru had avoided getting her ears split by that...monstrosity these people called a song!

Carrie appeared to not have heard the Squirtle's comments, but she latched onto Sandy's half-hearted reply like it was a life raft for the Titanic. "Oh my gawd, I knoww, right?!" she babbled, a stupidly huge grin spreading across her face. "It's just so perfect in every way! Whitney is so talented and pretty and such a good Gym Leader... I wish I could be just like her..."
<Pay attention, stupid!> the Jigglypuff shouted as Carrie began to drift off into her thoughts. She took a few steps forward, keeping herself inflated as she glared at the challenger. <We got a battle to fight!>
"Right, right. But - OOOH, your Espeon is soooooo cute!" Carrie gushed, clapping her hands to her face and squealing in delight. The Jigglypuff rolled her eyes and sighed, letting some of the air out and causing her to deflate slightly. "Oh, but now's not the time to be talking. Jiggly, darling, can you serenade that cutie-pie with Whitney's new song?"
<My pleasure...> the Jigglypuff drawled, clearly not enjoying the song. But since she didn't have a choice, there really was no use in complaining about it. The puffy pink Pokemon cleared her throat and opened her mouth to begin singing.
But strangely, no sound came out. Carrie, who had closed her eyes and been preparing to dance to the beat, frowned and opened her eyes again to see what the hold up was. She was met with the sight of her Jigglypuff surrounded by a bluish glow and being held aloft several feet off the ground. A few feet away, Muru glared up at her opponent, her eyes flashing the same shade of blue.
An echoing cry of "No no NO!" rang eerily around the battlefield. On the final "no", the Jigglypuff was blasted backwards, slamming harshly into the wall next to Carrie's head. Muru stood stiffly in place, her hackles raised and a near silent snarl issuing from her bared fangs. "Aww, why would you do that to Jigglypuff? She just wanted to sing you a song..." Carrie pouted, crossing her arms and scowling childishly at Muru.

Muru's ears twitched as she stood stiffly on her paws, her fur on end as she looked back at the now fainted Jigglypuff. No...Ho-oh, No. Seeing how Berry had been acting, she'd be damned if she had to hear the offending song herself. Sandy had been about to respond to Carrie's compliments on Muru, but she kept her mouth shut now, because she was sure Carrie didn't find the velvet creature so cute anymore. "Uh....Um...Ah...Muru-" She fumbled with her words as she searched for Muru's Pokeball. Finally finding it, she took it from her bag quickly and held it out, returning the Espeon before she decided that the Meowth needed a nice lashing as well. The last thing she needed was for someone in this gym to hate her within the first ten minutes of being there. "S-sorry about Muru, she kind of...uses a lot of Overkill..." Sandy mentioned nervously. Taking out another Pokeball, she tossed it into the air and watched as it cracked open. From it, emerged a familiar tan and purple feline, landing gracefully on his paws. Feline against Feline, he observed as he stared back at the Meowth. Excellent... His tail waved back and forth calmly as he waited for Sandy, oblivious to whatever Muru had done last turn. "Alright Scat-cat, sorry I haven't been using you in battle much latley, but I'll make it up to you now! Use Ice Beam!" A familiar cooling sensation overtook his body and he let out a trill of a purr, glad to be able to battle once again after so long. The others had been having much more fun then he himself. With a final vibration of a purr, he jumped back and opened his mouth, allowing a ball of cie to form at the back of his throat.

Standing at a slight slant with arms still crossed and lips pouting, the young girl remained silent as Sandy nervously apologised. Her frowned brow raising and smiling appearing back over her cheeks, Carrie shrugged it off and fluffed at the air with her hand, gesturing that it was no big deal. "That's okay! I did say we totally had to battle before you could meet Whitney. I mean, you must obviously be a really hard fan if you wanna faint all my Pokemon in one blow! Heehee, I'll have to work a little harder, only I can be Whitney's number one fan!" Before Scatter was sent out, the female selected her second Pokemon. Tossing the ball forward to reveal a rather common sight of a Meowth, Carrie beamed at her choice. "Aaaaand next up is my little Meowth! Ooooh, her fur is so soft and--D'AAAAWW!" Rather enjoying the praise, the back of the Meowth arch up angrily as Scatter was sent on the scene. A much larger, prettier and more unique feline in the eyes of Carrie.
Holding her hands up to her chest, linking her fingers and wriggling on the spot from side to side, she appeared smitten with Sandy's Pokemon. "Not just an Espeon but a Delcatty too?! Why are all your Pokemon so superly adorable! I'm suuuuuuuper jealous right now!" The sight of the new addition giving her the giggles for a bit longer, Carrie eventually settled, needing to put confidence in her own Pokemon and not the opponent's. "Well, you may have the cute factor but we have strength AND cuteness! Right Meowth? Let's go with a bite! Chompie, chompie~" The feline rolling her large eyes irritatedly in their sockets, the Meowth focused on the much larger pussy cat, aware that she probably didn't have enough force behind her slender frame to take the cat out. However, one thing she did have on her side was speed. As Scatter opened his mouth to begin forming this beam of ice, it gave the Meowth an opening to attack.
All four paws dashed across the gym floor, eyes pinned on her opponent, ears twitching as they tried to ignored the constant shrieking of Carrie trying to be supportive. Taking a final leap forward with jaw ajar, the Meowth flashed her pearly white fangs before digging them into the paw of Scatter. His own open mouth faltering as he felt a trickle of pain, the Delcatty hissed and looked down, eyes staring venomously into the ones belonging to Meowth. In fact, it was enough to make the beige feline actually let go. However, it was far too late to actually escape. A single jab forward of his snout and a beam of crackling, crystal blue ice came spiraling out from his jaw. Striking the Meowth and casting a unrelenting chill across her body, the once beige cat looked practically blue, body shivering on the spot.

Though Sandy let out a nervous chuckle, Scatter raised his ears, listening to Carrie's praise like sweet music. Finally, someone noticed the beauty of his fur and all around appearance. Berry frowned. She could say something, and the need to just tell the stupid cat to get over himself and continue on with the battle was great. But she just couldn't find the words, to lost in the fact of how annoying Scatter could actually be. <<Hmph. Well it isn't like Sandy compliments me on how clean I keep my fur anymore.>> Scatter huffed as he caught sight of the annoyed turtle. <<...What?! You mean she actually has to tell you that now? Get over it and attack! He's like a kitten...>> The last part was murmured to herself, but Scatter caught it with his large ears and huffed. When the Meowth bit into him, Scatter screeched and tried to throw him off, though by end of it no one could have been sure if the Meowth had let go on its own. One successful Ice Beam later, Scatter let out a warm purr. "Great Job Scat-cat!" Sandy turned to look at Carrie after her praise to the feline in front of her, a rather sober look on her face. "As nice as I think cute Pokemon are, that's not the reason I trained the ones on my team...I find that a nice balance between how cute they are, and their power is great...but.." she paused, looking from Berry to Scatter and smiling cheerfully. "I think it's really because they all have a special quirk of their own that makes them stand out to me, and makes it worth having them with me." Berry smiled at her tapped her shoulder with an arm, and Sandy let out another quick nervous chuckle. "B-but you didn't ask about that did you? Scatter, give it another Ice beam!" She called. Scatter stood at attention at his trainer's rather soft voice and waited before he formed his ice beam, watching to see if the other cat would be faster once again before he made his move.

[pink]"Well I just want all my Pokemon to be cute!"[/pink]the Lass responded with a smile. [pink]"Of course, their strength is an added bonus!"[/pink]she added with a wink. Her Meowth let out a purr of agreement, tail waving proudly. [pink]"C'mon Meowth! Use another Bite attack!"[/pink]she called out to her feline. With a nod of assent, the Meowth lowered herself into another crouch before pouncing at the Delcatty, jaws agape as she readied to sink her razor sharp teeth into the other feline.
However, Scatter was not inclined to be bitten by the Meowth again. The Delcatty quickly realized the Meowth's movements were slower due to her weakened state and quickly took advantage of this. Quickly gathering enough energy, Scatter quickly opened his mouth and launched a blue beam straight at the Meowth. The other feline barely had time to let out a cry of shock before the frozen beam hit her straight in the middle, causing a cube of ice to encase her body, making her a catsicle. Scatter let out a mrrow of laughter, seeing the frozen Meowth unable to move anymore, quite pleased with his work of art.
[pink]"Nooo! Meowth!"[/pink]Carrie cried out, but knew her pleadings were futile. With a sniffle, Carrie withdrew her Meowth before taking out another Pokeball. With a toss, the capsule snapped open to reveal a Snubbull, who let out a loud bark as she landed on the battlefield. [pink]"You may have beaten my cutsie Meowth, but no matter! My adorable Snubbull can take care of you! Isn't that right, Snubby-poo?"[/pink]Carrie crooned, glancing at her Pokemon proudly. The pink bulldog Pokemon let out a rumbling growl that might have been close to a purr.
Congrats! Scatter gained 1100 exp for defeating Meowth!Lass Carrie sent out her Snubbull( Lvl 24)Would you like to switch Pokemon?

Sandy, well she kind of wondered if Carrie had missed her point completely. She didn't want to say it out loud, and she wouldn't, but she only hoped that Whitney herself wasn't as dense. Surely if you were a Gym Leader, Pokemon were worth more than they looked, right? Scatter turned back for a mere minute, an amused purr rumbling in his throat from the confused look on his trainer's face. With luck, Carrie herself wouldn't catch it. Teeth sinking into his shoulder reminded him of the problem at hand. Though an Ice Beam finished the feline opposite of him off quickly, his fur fluffed up when Cassie released the Pink dog. This just wasn't going to fly, not at all. He hated most dogs, and a considerable meeting with an Arcanine a while back had only strengthened his disdain of the creatures. Sandy noticed the sudden flare up in Scatter's posture and called him back, lowering herself to one knee to straighten out the cat's fur. "Berry, you go ahead." A light smirk on her features, Berry jumped from Sandy's shoulder, running past Scatter and standing just opposite of the Snubbull. "Don't go easy Berry and use your Water Pulse!" The Squirtle, none to fond of going easy, focusing on tapping into her water core to release her attack. Scatter watched Berry and huffed. Like him, this had been her first battle in a while, but not even he had been so eager. Maybe it was because she was happy that Sandy was back to her training, maybe it was just her spirit, but whatever it was he hoped it would land them a win.

The Snubbull flashed a glare at the Squirtle as she realized the turtle was her opponent. Berry suppressed and shudder that threatened to run through her body. Berry's cheeks began to puff up as water built up in her stomach and flow to her cheeks. When the sensation was too overwhelming, the Squirtle released the giant pulse of water that was launched straight at the Snubbull. The pink bulldog was unable to even register what had happened before the ring of water suddenly doused her whole body. The Snubbull snarled in anger as water drenched through her fur and skin. [pink]"Aww, Snubby-poo! You're soaking wet!"[/pink]Lass Carrie cried out somberly. The Snubbull angrily shook herself, dislodging most of the water droplets that clung to her fur, resulting in her form suddenly poofing up. [pink]"Heehee, all better! Now use Thunder Fang!"[/pink] The Snubbull's jaws snapped menacingly, and sparks of static seemed to cackle between the teeth. Rushing forward, the Snubbull gave a mighty leap and managed to latch her razor sharp teeth onto the Squirtle's middle. Berry let out a howl of pain as electricity shocked her whole body, not to mention the sinking fangs that her shell could barely protect her from. Struggling vainly, Berry managed to shake off the Snubbull, who quickly lept back before the Squirtle could retaliate. --------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Pokemon Battle

(OOC: Rane did you include Berry's Eviolite in the total damage? Because with it, the maximum damage Berry could take from that attack would be 24, not 28. I just need to know because I noticed.)-------------------------------------------------- Feeling the shock of the Thunder Fang, Berry couldn't have said she wasn't expecting that. Normal types, like Scatter, had many useful moves that could be taught and added to their arsenal. Though that couldn't stop the electricity that was still running through her. Sandy's concerned expression brought Scatter to let out a mewl, letting Berry know that she had to let the girl know she was alright. <<I'm good! Just don't worry and let's keep moving!>> Berry called out. Sandy didn't seem to convinced, but the turtle didn't seem like she'd be easy to remove from the field at this point either. Once she had her mind set on a battle, she wasn't inclined to give up and have someone switch in for her. Sandy knew that well, but it bother her of course. What if she was really hurt? Sandy took a moment to ponder this when she felt Scatter's nose touch her hand, snapping her back into the current situation. "Alright Berry. Take a minute to prepare yourself and use another Water Pulse. We can't let up on them!" Sandy then turned to Carrie, a light sigh escaping her lips. "Your Pokemon are cute, but I hope they can stand up to a little more water!" Berry began to prepare her attack once again, inhaling to contact the water within her body, so she could hopefully land another grand pulse of water on Snubbull. Scatter watched once again with a renewed interest. He kind of wish he would have been chosen to battle Snubbull, but Berry doing it was fine by him. His tail flicked as he sat down finally, placing his head under Sandy's hand and letting out a soft purr as she scratched behind one of his ears.

Carrie gasped as Berry began to breathe in. “Eek, what are you doing?! You’ll ruin Snubby-poo’s beautiful fur!” The girl nervously began to bite her nails as a light-blue ball of energy formed at Berry’s mouth. She let out a piercing shriek as the Squirtle fired the orb at her Snubbull. Snubbull staggered backwards as the sphere burst into water, soaking her yet again. However, this time the attack seemed to have an added effect. Carrie quickly noticed that her Pokémon was wobbling from side to side. The canine’s vision was obscured by stars revolving around her head.
The lass suddenly noticed that she was gnawing at her nails. “Oh my god! Look what you’ve done! My manicure is totally ruined!” Carrie announced in despair. “And what have you done to poor Snubby-poo?! Snap out of it, girl! Use Thunder Fang again!” She began to watch nervously as her Snubbull swayed. However, to her delight the normal-type stumbled over to Berry and locked onto the Squirtle’s arm with her teeth. Sparks of electricity emitted from her mouth and both Pokémon became surrounded by electricity. Despite Snubbull’s lack of control, Berry actually took a considerably high amount of damage. “Teehee, that’s it Snubby! You totally got this!” Carrie began to cheer, completely oblivious to the fact that her Pokémon remained confused. Battle Carrie’s Snubbull &female | Level 24 | Health: 29% [ 20/70 HP] Status: Confused Snubbull attacked with Thunder Fang!

[[OOC: Just letting you know that I fixed the damage from the previous post, Kat. Last turn RNG’d 24 damage, while this turn RNG’d 20 damage. I’d edit Rane’s post but I don’t have the power to do that so I’m posting it here instead.]]

"I d-don't know how I ruined your manicure...but I'm sorry?" Sandy's apology came out as more of a question as she tilted her head innocently. She didn't understand really, how she could wreck a manicure from the other side of the room. Berry looked from Sandy to Carrie and sighed. She didn't need to apologize but of course, Sandy would have done it anyway. Her crimson eyes fell on Sandy as the girl brought her purple back pack to the front of her body and began rummaging through it. "Come on Berry!" She called as she pulled a super potion from the contents. Sandy watched as Berry bounded up to her, glad to receive the Liquid that smelled of sitrus instead of oran berries. Sandy smiled innocently at Carrie, trying to let her know the battle could resume in a moment and that she was almost done fixing up Berry. Once the bottle of berry juice was empty, Berry hopped back onto the field, ready to fight one again. "Sorry about that! But I couldn't leave her like that..." Sandy mentioned to Carrie, holding a fist nervously against her chest and a light blush appearing on her face. She hated holding things up, she really did. "Berry, use Rapid Spin when you can move!" Berry nodded and slipped into her shell, spinning it around to prepare it for when she could finally take her next turn. (-1 Super Potion updated)

Carrie sighed, flicking her hair back haughtily. “Well, duh! Of course you’re sorry! What kind of monster would purposely mess with a girl’s nails?” She examined her hands to see the damage she’d done while Sandy attempted to heal Berry’s wounds. “I’ll tell ya what! If I beat you in this battle, you can take us both out for manicures! Alrighty? We’ll have to make it fast though! I don’t want Whitney to see me in this condition!” Carrie beamed, enlivened by her plan. There was nothing in the world that could possibly compare to getting a manicure. Nothing.
“Healing? Don’t be silly! You’re just delaying things now! Gosh, now that I mention it, what am I waiting for?! The sooner I win the better for all of us!” the girl exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air. She began to dance on the spot while she decided on what move she should use next. “Well your Thunder Fang has been doing a fantabulous job so far so let’s try another one, Snubby-poo!” The fairy Pokémon was still spinning, unable to concentrate on the battle she was involved in. A look of horror developed on Carrie’s face as Snubbull began to punch herself in an attempt to cure the status ailment. “No, you’re supposed to attack Squirtle, you dummy!”
Despite her efforts, Snubbull had already wasted the turn and even caused harm to herself. “Come on Snubby-poo! You know how much this means to me! Try one last time!” Carrie began to gnaw on her nails again as she watched her still-confused Pokémon swaying. However, before she could make a move, Berry withdrew into her shell. The shell began to spin around until it had accelerated enough to rise off the ground. The water-type then struck down her foe without hesitation, putting an end to the battle at last. “Oh my god, how can you be so mean? There’s no need to bully Snubby just because you’re stingy with your money!” Carrie cried out. “If you want money so bad, here! Snubby, come on! We’ll get our own manicure!” she declared, depositing a small sum into Sandy’s hand before scooping the unconscious bulldog up from the ground.
Just as she was about to run off, another girl stormed in. “Oh my god, Carrie! What was that?” she asked disdainfully. “Oh...Whitney, I-I’m sorry!” Carrie shrieked as she realised the Gym Leader had entered the room. “I saw you biting your nails! That’s like so gross! Leave my Gym at once, y-you freak!” Whitney ordered, cringing at her memories of the incident. Tears began to run down Carrie’s cheeks as she dashed out the door. “Girl, now your mascara’s running too! Like, have you no shame? Don’t come back until you’ve sorted yourself out!” Whitney raised the palm of her hand to her face. “I’m like, so sorry you had to see that. I don’t know what’s gotten into her.”
She quickly scanned Sandy, inspecting her sense of fashion. She resisted commenting but it was clear that she disapproved. Where did this girl think she was going without any pink accessories? “Well hey, I’m obviously Whitney, the Gym Leader here! Judging by your um...um...attire, you’re not here for an autograph. A battle, maybe?” she questioned, noticing that Sandy wasn’t dressed like a typical fan. “If you can beat me, you’ll get a badge, a super-cool TM, some money...aaaand a live performance of my hit song – you know the one.” she announced with a wink. As she began to hum the chorus of Call Me Maybe, Whitney tossed a Poké Ball into the air, releasing a Clefairy. “Now I’ll show you what a real battle looks like!” Battle Carrie’s Snubbull ♀ | Level 24 | Health: --% [ 0/70 HP] Status: K/O’dSnubbull hurt herself in her confusion! Snubbull was knocked out by Rapid Spin!
Berry ♀ | Level 26 | Health: 100% [ 66/66 HP] Status: -1 Attack Berry’s HP was restored using a Super Potion. Berry attacked with a successful Rapid Spin!
Berry defeated Carrie’s Snubbull! She received 1200 experience points and grew to Level 27! She also received +1 Happiness!
Lass Carrie was defeated and Sandy received £896 for a manicure!
Gym Leader Whitney is preparing to battle! She sends out Clefairy♀ (Level 25)!
[[OOC: I’ll just leave the money-handling to you!]

Stingy? Sandy never really thought of herself as stingy...she just really didn't need things like manicures. She got them sometimes, but only when she really needed them. Scatter noticed the trainer's lost in thought look and nudged her hand with his nose, bringing her back to reality and getting her to notice that her Squirtle had indeed won the battle, something she hadn't realized moments prior. She was going to say something as her Squirtle rushed back to her and jumped into her arms, but she couldn't because just as Carrie was about to leave, a new, harsher voice came on the scene. She turned, spotting a Pink-haired girl coming their way. She said a few harsh things to Carrie, that forced the girl to cry and run off. Freak?... Sandy wouldn't have ever thought to go so far as to call her a freak. She tried not to let that unpleasant feeling reach her as she watched Carrie run off. Though, she had wanted to tell her she wasn't a freak of any kind. She turned back under the scrutinizing gaze Whitney was giving her. And this was Whitney? The same girl poor Carrie had admired, had just made her run off like that? Scatter kind of put her under a harsh glare as she continued looking Sandy over, recognizing quickly the judgment in her eyes, something Sandy hadn't really picked up on. The feline took a defensive step in front of her and pressed himself up against her legs, causing Sandy to look down at him. Sandy nodded at Whitney's introduction and offered a simple smile in return. "No...I'm afraid I'm not here for an autograph Whitney. My name is Sandy. As you've already guessed, I'm here for the gym challenge." She mentioned, promptly listening to the prizes afterwards. She'd be fine with all but that....hit of hers. "I suppose it would be something to hear that song of yours live." Sandy answered, still trying to smile. Berry huffed. It'd be fine if you liked cacophony-like sounds. As Whitney sent out her Clefairy, Sandy looked down at Berry. "You did a great job girl. But I'll be giving you a rest." She pulled out another Pokeball and quickly released Muru, the young feline sitting on her haunches and giving a lick to one of her front paws, swiping it over her ear. "At your service, beautiful." she meowed with a purpose, knowing how hard it probably was for Sandy to stand around this gym, with a bunch of girls who thought they knew fashion. She certainly didn't look the part of one of these ladies, so Muru thought she'd give the trainer some Muru-style confidence. Sandy blushed and looked down at her shoes, showing how unused to being addressed to like that she was, and Muru held back at chuckle. "Ah...Alright Muru, start quick with a Psyshock!" Muru, with more obvious confidence than her trainer, let her eyes glow to prepare for her attack.
