[Blazey]

okay sorted, thanks lama for fixing the code ^-^

No battle

@tags

With her first badge in hand Sarara headed away from the gym smiling with both her Charmander Flare and her Mudkip Lin walking beside her. Sarara hadn't used her Lin much and decided with the intention to get an aron while in union cave she would trian her a bit. However she also decided that with the next gym being a bug gym it would be good for Flare to lv up more too. Overal Sarara had a good plan in mind and headed off to the route towards union cafe to train her pokemon a bit. She kept her dedenne and houndour in thier pokeball for now as a rewards for thier great gym battle. But with tall grass getting nearer her and her pokemon got ready to battle some pokemon.

GRAYE'S MARINADES

[Lamont]

It was without a doubt and absolutely beautiful day. Perhaps the best that has been seen in quite a long while, and Sarara was not the only one enjoying the clear skies and warm weather; though the young trainer was counting on that. The route was lush with life budding from the grips of winter, dotting the wilds with a range of colors and drawing in all manner of creatures to mingle and bound. Pidgey's soared overhead, burrowers and tree dwellers rattled around the trees lining the route, cries of both distant trainers and wild pokémon carried on the wind. But which would the new badge holder encounter first? It was an exciting wonder.

Coming up on a flowery patch of tall flora Sarara would find a sudden surprise. As she began passing by a burst of petals shot up from the grasses with the buzz of an insect. A joyous gasp accompanied the rainbow of color now whisking in the air. Shortly following, a hum flared to life like that of insect wings and a light breeze pushed the flower petals in all directions; a sweet scent rolling along the breeze in accompaniment.

Hovering in the center of it all was a cherry ladybug: Ledyba. It hadn't noticed the trainer there before, but after a moment the happy chuckles quieted -- the bug pokémon staring wide eyed at Sarara. In a quick shift the pokémon raised two of its six gloved fists and air boxed, fists punching the air in the trainer's direction.

A Ledyba (LV 8) challenges Sarara to a fight!

[Blazey]

"Hm a bug type I see. You want to fight? Then come on out Flare!" Sarara said as she grabbed flare's pokeball and threw it. Out came flare, fire on his tail burning as he looked at his opponent. "It's been a while Flare. Let's do this buddy with an Ember!" Flare nodded happily to be in some action again. He got the embers ready in his mouth waiting for the right moment.

[Midnightive]

Ledyba while still a bit shocked and wide eyed, but telling Sarara it was ready to fight. As it got ready to do an attack, Flare was already out of its Pokeball with it's tail ready to fight. A few sparks of ember flew out of the Charmander's mouth and to the Ledybas shock hit the poor bug type in the body.

Flying around for a bit to cool off before making it's move, to fists tucked into it's chest before firing out a volley of stars. Each star hitting Flare as Flare shuffled backwards in pain. Though it did damage, Flare had clearly won the damage battle. Flare and Ledyba starred angrily at each other waiting for Sarara's next command.

Sarara smiled as she saw flare give it his all and then the ledyba refuse to give up. This was the kind of battles she liked. And she found them more fun to. She kept the smile as she looked down to her determined charmander. "Alright flare lets turns things up a notch. TACKLE and then Ember!" Flare nodded before charging at he lebyba for the first attack on command, while starting to get embers in his mouth ready for the second part. Sarara watched and was silently cheering for flare in her head, she loved her little charmander and wanted to see how much he had improved.

OOC: using running shoes

[Lamont]

The ledyba buzzed louder, white gloved fists motioning aggressively though in a somewhat playful manner. Like someone making an over exaggerated impression of a boastful boxer. Though hurting, the bug was far from done with this little match and didn't even seem intimidated by the burning flame obviously marking its opponent as a type it was weak to. Flare felt about the same, adjusting the sunglasses on his face before setting forward to follow through with his new instructions.

In a blaze of speed the red lizard trampled through the blossoms toward the ladybug, leaping into the air to land his tackle attack on the wild pokémon. Ledyba was thrown back, spinning through the air until it slammed into the ground with a plume of petals erupting around it. Shaking its head free of the stars dancing in its vision the determined bug pushed itself onto its many legs and skittered back toward Flare. With a hum rumbling in its throat the Ledyba returned the favor, bashing the charmander on his side: a mistake it turned out. While the attack was certainly felt, the fire type had already started prepping for his flurry of embers and now with the bug pokémon right in front of him there was little chance of escape.

A flash of fire danced red across the lush vegetation, leaving the wild pokémon unconscious among the flowers.

VICTORY!

Flare enjoyed that little spar and grew to LV 15!
Flare gained +1 Happiness

[Blazey]

Flare nodded his head when the Ledyba had fallen unconscious and got a smile from Sarara. Well done Flare, good job bud. Now lets leave the pokemon along to rest. Flare nodded as the both of them started to walk again, searching for another pokemon, maybe one that would suit Lin's taste a bit more. But who knew what would come up from the tall grass and other areas.

[Noerd]

Sarara's first battle in Route 32 had been a quick one, and the beaten Ledyba was left on the floor to recover by itself. Within moments, what appeared to be friends and family of the little ladybird gathered around it to carry it back home. Or, one would assume it was on its way back home now, anyway. Either way, that was no concern of Sarara's as she carried on through Route 32. She wouldn't have travelled long before a new challenger appeared. A Sentret, alert as always, stood on guard a mile or so ahead and noticed the young girl travelling toward it. It shrieked in surprise, calling out to its friends to warn them. The pack of Sentret that it had been guarding made a run for it, dashing out of the way of Sarara. Despite the fact that they could probably overwhelm this human if they wanted, the Sentret were worrisome flight animals, and it was their nature to run. The sentry, on the other hand, ran forward to buy time. It was an unconventional strategy, but for some reason this Sentret seemed particularly concerned about its friends. Either way, it confronted Sarara.

A wild Sentret (Level 8) has appeared!

Will Sarara fight or flee?

[Blazey]

"hmm, a sentret. a protective one. heh. reminds me of you flare." Flare gave Sarara a look from that, "CHARmander..." Sarara giggled. "OK OK sorry. Lets give Lin a goo shall we?" Flare nodded at that before Sarara got out Lin's pokeball. "Come on out Lin! And show them your strength!" Sarara threw the pokeball, letting out Lin who let out a cry before smiling at Flare. "Charmander" "Mudkip!" Sarara then smiled before Lin looked at her. "Alright, Lin use Water Gun!" Lin nodded before getting water rezdy in her mouth.

[Tyger]

The protective Sentret didn't have many options here. It had bought the others some time, but now it had to get itself out of this sticky situation. Or, wet situation? Given that the Pokemon was blue like the Squirtles it was so used to seeing, Sentret could only assume that this strange mudfish looking creature would be spouting out water at some point. Sentret glanced over it's shoulder, making sure that it's friends were safe from harm and away before it seemed to ruffle it's fur up to make it look more 'intimidating.' (yeah right, it's adorable.) Lin kept her calm demeanor as the battle began to unfold around them. With a high pitched screech, Sentret charged forward to attack!

Lin had been given an order, and so shall it be. Gurgling on the water for a moment, Lin gathered the attack before spewing the water in a thin stream towards the charging Sentret. The stream lasted a few seconds before it tapered off, giving Lin some time to breathe and assess the situation. The Water Gun had definitely interrupted the charging ball of fluff, but only momentarily. With a hiss (and now soaked) Sentret picked itself back up and began to charge again, claws glinting in the light as it brought them down against the smooth skin of the Mudkip. Lin let out a small chirp of pain, but nothing compared to the soggy Sentret's wounds. Water seemed to drag it down but it managed to slosh away before Lin could retaliate. Hopefully none of it's friends stayed behind to see the embarrassing first round. It was soaked, hurt, and wanting to go home more than ever.

Wild Sentret - Level |8|

Health: 17/26

Current Status: I'll protect my friends! *eep*
Successful Scratch!

Sarara's Lin - Level |9|

Health: 23/30

Current Status: You'll do it soaked too.
Successful Water Gun!

[Blazey]

Sarara watched as the Sentret got soaked in water and followed by Lin taking a hit. poor Lin tried her best to stay in place but felt a bit of pain. "I know Lin, Use Water Gun again and then use Tackle!" Sarara called out the net orders hoping this would help out Lin a bit. Sarara was hoping the water would make it harder for the Sentret to move out of the way. It made sence to her at least. Flare on the other hand wasn't a bit fan on the water and made sure he kept out of range from it. The last thing he wanted was it getting on his lovely tail flame. Now THAT would be a disaster.

OOC: Using Running Shoes

[Noerd]

Dripping a little from all of the water that Lin had already thrown at it, the Sentret shook itself dry, frowning at its opponent. The Normal type wasn't going to let something as simple as this put it off of its job of protecting the herd, but damn was this water ever annoying. One could say it was dampening its spirits. Isn't it good to have me back? But anyway. Things happen now. Lin was quite unaware of all of Sentret's thoughts, so she was quite happy to repeat her earlier move. The mud fish thing opened her gob again and vomited out a massive stream of liquid. The Water Gun struck Sentret square in the face, dousing it yet again and leaving it looking quite unimpressed. It also probably stunk a bit after that, really. Regardless, the wet ball of fur was now a wet ball of fury. It charged into Lin, sending its claws across the Mudkip's skin and leaving a small gouge mark on her. Because injuries are definitely (not actually) a thing. Shush.

Sentret didn't leave its adversary to recover, though, quickly jumping backward to gather a bit of momentum before zipping forward at top pace and landing a Quick Attack straight into the Mudkip's face. Ouch. What pain. I am such a good writer at midnight. Anyway. Perhaps Lin saw something she liked when Sentret came in close, because she followed the Normal type quite eagerly, bounding forward... no wait. It's less eagerness and more wanting to fight. Anyway. She slammed her body into the opponent, knocking it through a loop and pushing it onto its butt.

Sarara watched on as Lin and Sentret went at it. Sarara crossed her fingers as Lin tried her hardest and it seemed to be working. Looking at the opponent that Sentret would be knocked out soon. Then Sarara looked at her Lin, she was breathing heavily now. Sarara knelt down besides Lin before speaking.

"Easy now Lin. Your doing great. Don't over do it okay. One last push. Alright?" Line nodded as she spoke which made Sarara jump a bit.

"Alright"

"Huh, L-Lin was that you?"

"What was?"

"Wait....I can hear you talk? Say Hi Lin.."

"Um...Hi?"

"Huh..I can hear Pokemon now it seems. Cool! Now back to work" Lin chuckled at that and so did Sarara. Lin got ready once more waiting for that final order.

"I'd rather not run again Sarara I am a bit tired out." Sarara nodded at that, she understood. That would mean no more tackle, but that was fine. That left Sarara with one good option. 

"Alright. Then Lin use Water Gun!" Line smiled at that one, that was perfect in her mind. At once she began to get water ready in her mouth to final this battle and get some rest.

GRAYE'S MARINADES

[Midnightive]

The fight was coming to an end both Pokemon new this and so did Sarara. But who was to win? Only the winds of time knew. The Sentret panted in tiredness and stunk a bit like wet dog. Lin, on the other hand, had cuts between her scally skin and was growing to her stamina end.

Lin used the last of her strength to start getting ready for the final blow if it was to hit. Water formed in her mouth and she used it to spray a strong line of water. The Sentret squealed and ran away.It didn't stick around long enough to see what the trainer wanted to do with her. But a win is a win!

Lin fought well in battle.
Lin gained 2 levels making them level 11 .
MOVES HERE YO

Looking for another battle.

Sarara smiled as Lin shot out another water gun and knocked out the pokemon. "Good Job Lin!"

Lin looked around to her and smiled back, "Thank you!

"It seems you are getting there, right, time to train an old pal" She then got out another pokeball and threw it up. Out came her trusty Rattata that she met early on in her adventure.

"Hey buddy. Time to train!"

Marchel smiled at that but little did he know Sarara could hear him. "About time"

"Ruuuude" Sarara chuckled after saying that as Marchel stared at her confused. 

"Uh, what?" Lin then chuckled and rolled her eyes.

"She can hear us talk now silly."

"Oh. Well uh...sorry? I guess?"

"Heh no worries, now come on you lot. Lets a go!" Sarara chuckled at that and then they were on there way, on wards to another battle.
