Cool for the Summer! [F]

[❤ Aphrodite ❤]

Aphrodite shifted her attention back towards Rea after hearing the battle girl question her about her reasoning for not being a fan of poison-type Pokemon. "this might sound a little weird, but I'm a fairy-type specialist. Fairy-type Pokemon are weak to poison-type Pokemon. I suppose that in a sense I have a weakness to poison-types, too." She stated, rubbing the back of her neck again. She felt that she sounded a little, but she still tried her best to attempt to make sense of her reaction to poison-types.

"Ah, I see. Well, maybe there is a way that you two could work together to figure out a plan to utilize both its fighting powers and psychic abilities. I mean, it's a psychic/fighting type Pokemon after all. I'm sure it would be hard for Meda to just focus on typing and not the other. Maybe, Meda feels like its not being able to be itself with those limitations." Aphrodite suggested, trying her best not to offend Rea and her training methods.

Aphrodite was a bit caught up with her conversation wit Rea that she had almost forgot that her Pokemon was still in a battle against the Nidoran. "Alvaro!!" She called out, watching the poison needles pierce into Alvaro's body and causing him to become poisoned. She didn't expect the Nidoran to be able to stand after taking a powerful Confusion attack, but obviously, she had underestimated their opponent. It was a good thing that Silver wasn't around. "Alvaro, that's enough! Take a rest!" She stated with a half smile as she returned her Ralts. She would then look over at her Brionne. Raina let out a quick bark as she nodded head head and step onto the battlefield. "Water Gun!" She commanded her Pokemon.

Rea stared at Aphrodite when she explained her dislike of the poison types.
"Daaaaamn girl! You need to work on that! You can't run and hide the moment you see something your pokemon are weak against!" Rea exclaimed.
"Your pokemon just end up being scared of them, when they need to be the strongest!" Rea continued and looked worried at Aphrodite, "Do you react the same to the other weaknesses fairies have?"
"While I know we need to be alert when facing a psychic or a flying type, it just means an extra challenge which is fun!" She added encouragingly, otherwise they were as uninteresting as any other type which wasn't fighting.

Rea frowned at Aphrodite's suggestion.
"If you had a fairy who was part poison, would you let go around and poison everything?" She countered although she would like to hear what Aphrodite would do in such situation.
"I don't know anything about psychic abilities and Meda is cheating on her training when she goes to use that all the time, instead of focusing on what is our goal. How can I train her to use the right stance or punch, if she wont follow my guidance but is fooling around instead?" Rea aired her frustrations.

"Oh-oh," Rea said quietly as she too noticed how badly Alvaro was looking, but looked surprised when Aphrodite chose to switch to the water type.
"Why didn't you heal him and let him finish?" Rea asked pussled as the nidoran managed to spit some needles at Raina from its position on the ground.
Raina answered the attack by blasting it with water and it jump to its feet and looked around confused, before it shook its fur to get rid of the water. The nidoran was cleareyed and it looked suspiciously at the humans and their strange looking pokemon before it sneaked off in the hope they wouldn't attack it. It had been a very strange night, it had been sure it had been flying!

Rea clapped her hands together.
"Alright, time to find the waterfall!" She said and looked around, then scratched her head and laughed sheepishly.
"I'm not entirely sure where the path to it is, I think it is in that direction," she said and pointed, "You don't happen to have a pokemon with you who can fly and can spot it from above?" She asked Aphrodite

Raina won easily and grows +2 levels to [lvl 21]!
She can learn Sing if she forgets another move.
She also gains +1 happiness (+6)


Alvaro did the majority of the work and earns +1 level making him [lvl 13]!
He also gains +1 happiness (+1)

[❤ Aphrodite ❤]

Aphrodite frowned at Rea's reaction when she had explained to her that she disliked poison-type Pokemon. To be honest, she didn't expect Rea to response in such a manner. She kind of felt like the younger girl was mocking her for having a fear of poison-type Pokemon. Aphrodite simply sighed and shook her head. Normally, she would have probably said some unkind words in return, but she decided to shake it off. Besides, Rea probably did not mean to offend her. "So, are you not afraid of anything?" Aphrodite questioned Rea.

"No, I don't. Fairies are someone weak to steel-type Pokemon, too. I'm not a huge fan of steel-type Pokemon, but I'm not afraid of them. I actually have a Mawile, which is steel/fairy-type." She answered with a smile. "If I were to ever fairy/poison-type Pokemon I wouldn't let it go around poisoning everything. I would just teach when to use its poison attacks and when not to use them." She replied in a confident tone. Aphrodite listened to Rea explain her reasoning for no waiting her Pokemon to use its psychic abilities all of the time and it was finally starting to make some sense to her. "Ah, I see now. I suppose that does make a lot of sense." She added.

"He was too weakened. If I would have heal the poison then it would have let him open to take another attack and he would have fainted. If I would have used a potion then he would have regain some health, but he still would have been poisoned and opened to another attack." She explained to Rea, hoping that her words made sense.

Aphrodite turned her attention back onto the battle, just in time to see that Raina had managed to take out their opponent. "Good job, Raina." She smiled at her Brionne. She would then take a quick moment to call out Alvaro in order to heal him with a Full Heal and Potion then returning her once more."Unfortunately, I don't have a Pokemon that can fly on me right now. The only thing I can offer would be using one of my psychic Pokemon to use their psychic abilities to lift one of us up or have one of my fairy types summon a Fairy Wind to lift us." She replied.

"Afraid of anything? Yes of course I am! I hate flying! And I really don't like the idea of getting old and being restricted in my movements," Rea said with a shiver, "but I'm not going to let it hold me back! I can't really not get old so I just have to be healthy as long as possible and make the most of it!"
The fighting specialist hadn't no idea she had offended Aphrodite, she was just worried what trouble it could give her, if she let her fears run off with her in a situation where she needed to keep her head clear.
"That's good! But why are you afraid of poison types if you aren't afraid of the steel types, if the reason is that it comes from your faeries weakness to them? Have you had some bad experience with them or is it just from their bad reputaion?" Rea asked curious trying to figure out why there were a difference for Aphrodite.
"I'm not entirely sure why I don't like to fly, I think it maybe is because it is a loss of control?" She said thoughtfully.

"I hadn't thought of that, that makes a lot of sense," Rea commented to Aprhodite's explanation to her switching pokemon and waited calmly for the other woman to take care of her pokemon and praise them for their work.

"Woah! Woah! Woah!" Rea said laughingly holding up her hands and backing away, "I'm fine with not getting into the air at all!" She rubbed her neck sheepishly, "did you say that just to tease me?" she added with a grin.
"I can walk just fine, I had just hoped you might had a pokemon who could scout for us and find that path or the waterfall, no need to carry us there! Not at all!" Rea quickly explained and looked at the pokemon around Aphrodite.
"I have no clue of what a psychic pokemon can find, can they find things like paths and waterfalls with their abilitites as well?" Rea asked and actually sounded a bit curious.

Whatever they decided to do, they didn't come far before they heard growling and panting, a poochyena came bursting through the undergrowth doing some funny jumping, and then attempted to climb a tree. It looked really furious that it failed and slammed its paws into the trunk, before it looked around to find someone to let its frustration still trying to jump around and mostly using its backlegs.
"That's peculiar, it almost acts like a mankey..." Rea said confused before her face darkened, "great, it's probably Meda who has played tricks on it. Careful! If it thinks it is a mankey it will attack at no provokation," she warned Aprhodite.

Poochyena [lvl 12] is trying to climb a tree and quickly gets angry.
It's looking for something or someone to let its frustration out on.

[❤ Aphrodite ❤]

Aphrodite nodded her head as she continued to listen to Rea's words. She hated to admit it, but the younger girl seems to be making a lot of sense now. In fact, Aphrodite was starting to feel even more embarrassed about her fear of poison-type Pokemon. "Hmm, I suppose that does make a lot of sense. Honestly, I'm not too sure why I'm afraid of poison-type Pokemon. I remember my dad telling me that I almost got poisoned by an Oddish once while playing in a forest chasing after a Jigglypuff once. Perhaps, that could be one of the reasons? But then again I do not really remember that incident too well." She stated, placing her index finger underneath her chin a bit.

Aphrodite giggled a bit at Rea's reaction to her suggestion to use one of her Pokemon's psychic abilities to have the fighting-type specialist fly in the air for a little while. "Oops, I forgot that you're not a huge fan of flying." She added, giggling a little bit more. "Sorry! We will figure something else out!" She assured her.

"Well...From what I've been able to notice about psychic Pokemon is that a lot of them are pretty intelligent. I would not be surprised if some of them could channel their psychic abilities to help them find hidden paths and stuff. I'm sure that would take a lot of practice though. My Ralts and Kirlia are not that experienced yet. She answered her new friend.


"Oh, no! Not again!" Aphrodite sighed, watching the Dark-type Pokemon behavior in an odd manner. "I'm starting to think that your Meditite is a handful. I'm starting to understand why you do not like for her to use her psychic abilities." She stated with a playful smirk before reaching out to grab Alvaro's Poke Ball again. "Alvaro, let's try this again! Oh, wait! That's not going to work! Alvaro doesn't know any Fairy-type moves yet." She sighed, placing the palm of her right hand against her forehead. "Raina, you're going to have to take care of this one again. Disarming Voice!"

Rea clapped her hands together and pointed at Aphrodite eargerly.
"That can very much be it!" She said urgently, "you might not remember it yourself but if it is a childhood trauma it will still affect you, then your reactions makes sense!"
Rea looked proud like she had just solved Aphrodite's problem but then turned a bit more serious.
"I'll still suggest you work on that though, just to avoid it biting your back at some point, although I don't think it will be easy when it has such grip on you," she look thoughtful and then shrugged, "I don't have any suggestions on how to do it though. It's not really my area of expertise."

Rea laughed relieved when Aphrodite agreed to figure something else out than try go flying on non-existing pokemon.
She was about to eagerly ask what Aphrodite's pokemon would be able to do with this search when the poochyena appeared.
"Finally! Someone gets it!" She exclaimed, seemed like Aphrodite wasn't the first to not understand at first, why Meda was troubling with her use of psychic abilities.
The fighting specialist watched curiously as Aphrodite made her decisions and let out Raina to take care of the confused pup.

The poochyena tried to smack the ground with its front paws and made a growling screech when it spotted them and hurled itself forward to take out its anger on Raina.
It was no match for the brionne who calmly let out a singing tune and as soon as the sound wave hit the poochyena it collapsed on the ground and blinked confused. It lay still for a moment before it leaped to its feet and raced off as fast as its legs could carry it.
"Your Raina here is really strong," Rea said admirably as she watched the pup disappear.

Rea turned to Aprhodite and clapping her hands together.
"Alright, what do you have of pokemon who can search for the path and a waterfall? How do you think we can do this best?" Rea asked and looked expectationly at Aphrodite, she was the one with the pokemon after all.

That was an easy win for Raina, she only gets a single level, [lvl 22]
She also gains +1 happiness (+7)


Alvaro watched closely and gains +1 level (exp. share) and is now [lvl 14].

(ooc: words added. thread is still reserved)

[❤ Aphrodite ❤]

Aphrodite had to admit that she had prejudged Rea unfairly at the start of their encounter with each other. Despite Rea's young age, the fighting-type specialist seems to be quite wise for someone her age. Perhaps, Rea should think about taking a career as a fight-type specialist, who also does some type of emotional therapy too or something along the lines of helping others deal with their trauma. "The more we talk and listen to each other the better we seem to understand each other a little bit better." Aphrodite stated, a few giggles escaping from her mouth. "You should consider going into the psychology or counseling field someday. You know utilize your physical strength and your mental strength, too. You could express the importance of being able to balance your mind, body, and spirit." She added, glancing over at Rea to observe her reaction to her suggestion.

"I'm going to try to best to overcome it someday. It's just going to take some time. I'm sure some sort of exposure therapy would be nice...However, I'm not too sure if I'm ready for all of that yet. I might have to take some smaller steps." She replied, giving Rea a soft smile.

As expected, Raina's Disarming Voice was powerful enough to take out her opponent in one hit. The sea-lion like Pokemon let out a cheerful bark as she clapped her flippers against each other to celebrate her victory. Meanwhile, Alvaro lowered his head a little more towards the ground to express his disappointment due to not being able to take on the dark-type pup on his own. "Awesome job, Raina." Aphrodite smiled, kneeling down to pat her Brionne on her head before walking past her and over to Alvaro. "Don't be so hard on yourself, Al. You're doing great. You're still kinda new to training. You'll get stronger along the way." She added, kneeling down to make eye contact with the small elf-like Pokemon. Alvaro let out a deep sigh and nodded his head at his trainer's encouraging words.

After comforting her younger Pokemon, Aphrodite would stand back up and make her way over towards Rea and Raina. "Thanks. She's one of my newer teammates, but she's also becoming one of my most dependable Pokemon. I can't wait until she evolves again." She stated, glancing away from Rea and lowering her eyes towards the Brionne. "Well, since we're looking for a waterfall I'm thinking that Raina should be able to help us find it. She's a water-type and her nose is pretty keen, too." She answered with a smile. Raina let out another cheerful bark before pointing her nose high into the air as she sniffed her surroundings in hopes of picking up the scent of water. Within seconds, she would let out another bark before leading Aphrodite, Rea, and Alvaro down a path.

"Agreed, I thought you were some sort snob who had just gotten lost out here, I'm glad I was wrong!" Rea laughed without shame and waved dismissively at Aphrodite's suggestion. "Nah, that'd be way too boring, listening to people's complains all day." Rea Karate chopped the air, "give me action anytime! I'm not good at chitty chatting and I'd just tell people to do some push-ups and face their fears or something. Work at one thing at a time! Just like I want Meda to focus on her fighting abilities since that's the cool stuff, then we can always work on her psychic later on if we want to."
Rea nodded and threw out her arms, "as long as you are aware of it and don't accidently teaches your pokemon to be afraid of the same thing, I don't think it's the worst phobia to have."

Rea waited a bit impatiently as Aphrodite spent some time praising and reassuring her pokemon but she was polite enough to wait for the other trainer to be ready before pushing on. Aphrodite was nice enough to help her out after all.
"Understandable, I really hope I get such great relationship with Meda at some point," Rea said eagerly and grinned when she heard Aphrodite's suggestion, "sound's perfect! Lead the way!"

It was easy for Raina to pick of the scent of water and the trainers hurried after her to the path, which they traveled for a bit.
"I'm pretty sure this is the right one!" Rea said excitedly not long after, and didn't care was fog started to crawl in and hung around the trees and laid in the hollows. Soon they could hear a faint rumbling and Rea turned to grin at Aphrodite, seemed like they were getting close!

The forest opened up a bit and the splashing from the smaller waterfall filled the area, sending the fog whirling around in the air.
Right in front of the little pond below the waterfall was a meditite, holding both hands out as its eyes glowed and something in front of it moved a bit.
Something rustled nearby and destroyed the focus of the half psychic pokemon, she spun around, hands raised to face whatever was coming her way, only to lower them a bit when a round, pink pokemon emerged. It was impossible to read the meditite's expression but its eyes glowed again as it raised its hands towards the jigglypuff.
"Meda! I told you to stop that nonsense and focus on something properly!" Rea snapped and the meditite jumped and spun around to face them. It glanced at the jigglypuff who had not moved since it had apparead and Meda's eyes glowed briefly and she smiled as the jigglypuff woke up to action and hurried to her side to face Rea and Aphrodite.
"Oh no you didn't! Release it this instant!" Rea ordered but both Meda and the jigglypuff grinned and took a battlestance. Rea stomped her foot frustrated, "release it! Why are you doing this?!" Meda stomped in the same way as her trainer.
"Medi! Meditite! Meditite!" "Because you never listen! I'm not good at fighting and you don't want me to do what I'm good at! At all!" Meda declared and made a quick motion with her hand as if she wiped off tears, although if there had been any was hard to say due to the darkness and the fog.
Rea had seen it as well and she threw out her hands, "I don't understand!" She said upset and turned to Aphrodite, "see? This is why I shouldn't be psychologist or something, I can't even understand my own pokemon!"
"Meditite!" Meda called out challenging and dared them to face her and her ally.

Meda [lvl 11] has been found but doesn't want to go home yet, nor wants to face them alone.


Jigglypuff [lvl 15] has been hypnotized by Meda and thinks its another meditite.
Fog will be in effect.

[❤ Aphrodite ❤]

Aphrodite blushed a bit and laughed at Rea's honest statement. "Fair enough." Aphrodite replied, deciding not to make too much of a big deal of her words. It was Rea's first impression of her. Therefore, she could not allow herself to take it personally. Besides, it was not her first time hearing another person mistake her for a snob and it would not be her last time. At first, Aphrodite felt proud of herself for recommending to Rea that she should consider going into the psychology field someday until she heard Rea's protest about it. The karate kid had made yet another valid point. "You're probably right. So, let's just forget that I even mentioned it." She replied with a few soft giggles following other her words.

It did not take Raina too long to lead the two trainers to the rushing waterfall. At least, she had been right about one thing, Raina was more than able to use her keen nose to pick up the scent of water."Good girl, Raina." Aphrodite praised her Pokemon a few seconds right before the thick fog made its presence known. "Well, I wasn't expecting this much fog. I hope that we'll be able to find your Pokemon." Aphrodite spoke out, her warm amber eyes taking in the sight of the cool mist starting to surround them. Raina and Alvaro soon inching a little bit closer to their trainer.

Luckily for the female trainers, the Meditite had managed to reveal herself before the fog became too much for them to handle. As expected, Meda had been causing some trouble with another Pokemon. This time, the victim was a lot cuter than the last ones. "Oh my gosh! I can't believe it! It's a Jigglypuff! I've been looking around everywhere trying to find one of my own!" Aphrodite squealed out in excitement. However, her excitement was only able to last for a little one, because it seem that Meda and the Jigglypuff wished to fight them.

"I know it's probably not a good feeling right now, but things will get better between the two of you. You two just have to work on communicating with each other a lot more and try harder to understand how the other is feeling." Aphrodite explained, hoping that her words would make sense to Rea. "Right now, we have the battle to win. Since you do not have any other Pokemon with then I will have to fight for both of us. Raina used Water Gun on Jigglypuff and Alvaro use Confusion on Meda!" She commanded her Pokemon.

Raina used Water Gun on Jigglypuff.
Alvaro used Confusion on Meda.

"Why would I forget? It's always good at being told you are good at something, even if you don't agree with it," Rea said with a wink. "It might be a bit of psychologist like when I try find my own and my friends weaknesses so we can work on them and be stronger, since you need to work on other stuff than just your muscles if you want to be really good," she continued and shrugged, before becoming thoughtful as they followed the path.
"Hm?" Rea asked absentmindedly as Aphrodite's words had set something into motion in her.

Rea jumped startled at Aphrodite's exclamation and for a moment her anger disappeared as she stared confused at her new (temporary) friend.
"What?! You want a Jigglypuff?" She asked disbelieving, "why do you.. oh," she trailed off as she looked at Raina and Alvaro and she slapped her forehead. "Doh, of course you want it, it's cute and all. I'm sorry, I'm so used to be surrounded by trainers who want buff fighting types I forget they are not everyone's favorite!"
Rea's face turned sour again when she turned to look at her meditite who wanted to battle, "I hope so, my Sensei keeps telling me that too, but how am I going to work on our weaknesses when I can't figure out what the problem is?" Rea complained before sighing deeply, "at least she still has her fighting spirit."
Rea shrugged again to Aphrodite's conclusion about the battle, sounded right as Rea couldn't do much now her pokemon wouldn't listen to her.

Meda was not without experience even though she was small, she had seen her fair share of battles and tactics.
"Tite!" She said determined and sat down to meditate, and took Alvaro's Confusion without flinching. She began to glow faintly and Rea was having a mixed look on her face, both worried and proud.
Raina's water gun sent the fog swirling around it and slammed into the pink pokmeon and sent it rolling backwards and straight into the little pond below the waterfall. As it dragged itself up from the water it too glowed faintly for a brief moment, and it shook its tiny feet to shake off the water of them, although it wouldn't do much difference.

"So," Rea said slowly when it looked like Aphrodite might have a moment to spare her a bit of attention again, "how would you work on understanding your pokemon better, if you were in my shoes?"

[❤ Aphrodite ❤]

Aphrodite nodded her head at Rea's words. Aphrodite was so busy grooming her Pokemon and training then that she haven't even had time to train her own body. Perhaps the next time she decides to train her Pokemon then she will work out with them, too. She couldn't offer to be lacking in her with her own physical strength. It was bad enough that a lot of people underestimate her because of her good looks.

Aphrodite laughed at Rea's reaction to her wanting to catch a Jigglypuff. "Of course! It's super cute and it's a fairy-type Pokemon, too!" She replied with excitement. "You know...It wouldn't hurt for you to add a cute fighting type to your team, too. Not that Meda isn't cute...But maybe a fighting-type Pokemon that is also a fairy-type? I'm not too sure if those exist or not," she replied, giving Rea a cheeky grin.

Aphrodite turned her attention back towards the battle. A smile spread across her lips, watching her Pokemon take the upper hand in the battle against their opponent. "You two are looking great, but it looks like Meda is storing up some major power! We're going to have to stop it before it can release it!" She shouted out to her Pokemon. "Raina use Water Gun on Meda and Alvaro use Confusion on Jigglypuff!"

"Building a closer bond with your Pokemon. You two are going to have to learn how to compromise." Aphrodite answered, shifting her attention on Rea.

Rea smiled and shook her head as Aphrodite listed her reasons to why she wanted the jigglypuff, she smiled broadly at the cute loving trainer's suggestion.
"I have no problem with cute pokemon as long as they can fight!" She said and raised a fist into the air, she let it drop as she frowned thoughtfully, "I don't think there is any pokemon who are both fairy and fighting type, although that would be cool. Dragons would stand no chance against that!" Rea declared with a grin. "Pancham is cute and I certainly wouldn't mind having one of those to train too, and Falinks is just so hilarious you can not help but loving it!" She wrapped her arms around herself as if she gave herself a hug but her smile faltered quickly as she remembered her problems with Meda.
"But what does that help when I cannot even figure out to train my very first pokemon?" She asked dryly and watched as the battle unfold.

"She is a clever girl," Rea said with a hint of proudness, she liked her pokemon and she wanted to be the best trainer she could for her, but it was hard when you didn't understood what the problem was.
Raina was quick to change her focus and her water gun blasted through the air and hit the meditite straight on and sending her into the pond behind them, where she laid still. Rea had watched it with a blank face but now worry crept in and she quickly took a few steps forward and recalled her pokemon who had slowly begun to roll to lay face down.
The jigglypuff's determination disappeared a heartbeat after Meda was hit by the water and it looked around confused. A flash of movement caught its attention and it let itself fall backwards and rolled out of the way, as the air where it had stood shimmered due to the confusion.
The pink round pokemon glowed faintly as it bolstered itself and it stared shocked at Alvaro. "What did you do that for?!" It shrieked, "I have done you nothing!" It certainly didn't have any memory of what had happened while it had been hypnotized, and it wasn't pleased with being attacked unprovoked.

Rea scowled at Aphrodite's last work and she stepped over and grabbed her arm, "What can I use that for?! How can I 'compromise' when I don't know the basic problem? How can I 'bond' when I don't know what my pokemon want?" She snarled frustrated and then looked shocked as she quickly released Aphrodite again. She took a step back and looked devastated.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so frustrated, but I shouldn't take it out on your," Rea whispered and caressed the pokeball containing Meda. She was quiet for a bit before she looked at Aphrodite with teary eyes, "But how do you do it? How do you understand your pokemon if they don't like what you are trying to do?"

"I didn't think so either." Aphrodite giggled when Rea assured her that there was not a Pokemon that is fighting and fairy type just yet. "I agree. Pancham is cute! Falinks is cute in a weird sort of way. Both have my approval though!" She added with a grin.

A sigh of relief left Aphrodite's mouth after watching Raina's Water Gun take out Meda. "Whew! That was a close one. If Meda would have pulled off that Bide then I'm sure one of my Pokemon would have fainted right then and there." She stated, glancing over at Rea then back over at the battle just in time to see Alvaro's attack miss its mark. The small psychic and fairy-type Pokemon let out an energy cry as he flailed his tiny arms around in the air.

"Alvaro! Get a hold of yourself! I know that you're upset that your attack missed, but you cannot allow your emotions to get the best of your right now. Focus!" Aphrodite shouted out to him. Eventually, the Ralts calmed himself down. "Confusion, once more!" She called out to him.

Aphrodite was just about to call out a command for Raina when she felt Rea grab her arm and vent her anger out at her. "Whoa! Whoa! Hold on, Rea! I tried to explain it to you earlier. It's clear that Meda wants to use her Psychic powers, too. Take time to let her practice both her fighting attacks and her psychic attacks. That's compromising." She attempted to explain.



Alvaro used Confusion on Jigglypuff.

Aphrodite earned a dry smile from Rea when she glanced back, the fighting type enthusiast had caught the praise of her pokemon but didn't want to say a lot to interrupt the ongoing battle. She agreed that her pokemon was good and was proud of her power, she just lacked in the focus department so she quickly lost interest in what Rea was trying to teach her and sneaked away.
It was good thought, to see her in action and get reassured that Meda had learned some of the things she had been trying to teach her.

Rea looked ashamed as she stepped away from Aphrodite after her outburst, she frowned at what the other trainer said.
"You have?" She asked as she tried to remember when the fairy type loving trainer had done that, but she was blank.
"I guess it makes sense," she said reluctantly thinking about how to mix up the training, but she groaned and rubbed her face. "It's just not going to be easy at all! You kind of need to walk before you can run, and if I jump through back and forth she might mix things up and the fundation to build on being fragile," she said exasperated and ran both her hands through her head.
She blinked surprised at her own reaction and then took a deep breath and closed her eyes as she exhaled. She concentrated on some breathing technics to calm down and slowly realisation spread on her face as she let Aphrodite's words sink in.

The jigglypuff didn't get reassured at all that Alvaro was too upset of his own missed attack to answer its accusation. It stared at him in disbelief and its eyes jumped to his trainer when she ordered him to try again.
"What have I ever done to you?!" It shouted at them and staggered back as Alvaro's attack found its mark, it felt its world going dark again but it didn't last. It glared at them, first they come here and attack it unprovoked and then they continued doing it ignoring its questions.
"Alright, no more mister nice guy then!" It spat and sprung forward into a roll which was the fastest way for the round pokemon to move. As it reached the ralts it used the momentum to show him to the ground and while grabbing something from him, it paused to look confused at the exp-share. It looked alien to it and its eyes widened when it realized this might be the reason Alvaro was acting to aggressive and brute, perhaps this device took his will and made him a fighting machine!
It looked at the headpiece in disgust and then eyes Alvaro warily, "how are you feeling?" It asked to see if he had woken up from some sort of control.

[❤ Aphrodite ❤]

Aphrodite was a little shocked that Rea did not seem to remember the first time she mentioned that she should t least try to give Meda a chance to incorporate some of her psychic abilities into their training. Maybe Rea was too stressed out about finding Meda at the time that she couldn't remember. Either way, Aphrodite did not make a big deal out of it. She was just happy that Rea is at least thinking about comprising with her Meditite at this point. "Exactly! It's not going to happen overnight. You're both going to have to take your time and take it one day at a time. Focus on not giving up and you two should be able to find the perfect balance at some point." She replied, giving Rea a soft half-smile.

A low growl escaped from Alvaro the moment he felt the Jigglypuff's round body knock him back a bit. He slowly pulled himself up and stared back at his opponent. "Hey! Give me that back! It's bad enough that you and that Meditate wanted to pick a fight with us. Now, you're stealing something that my human gave me!" The Ralts yelled out to the Jigglypuff.

Raina glanced over at the Jigglypuff then over to Alvaro. "I think you both should just calm down. There seems to be some type of a misunderstanding right now!" The Brionne called out to the younger Pokemon.

Aphrodite watched the Pokemon engaged with each other. It was an odd scene, but it seems that Alvaro and Jigglypuff appeared to be having some sort of a disagreement. "The Jigglypuff is distracted, this is my chance!" She stated, taking out a Great Ball and tossing it at the Wild Pokemon.
