Ava left the Pokemon Lab, her first starter and a whole region ahead of her. She looked down at the little Bulbasaur, and it looked back up at her. Her father had left once she had been escorted safely, he hadn't wanted to coddle her, she was a young adult now. She had a Pokemon to help keep her safe from wild attacks and any weird or dangerous people who might try and steal her money.
"Okay, I'm new to this and so are you. So we gotta help each other out, right." The Bulbasaur blinked up at her, there was some form of recognition in those eyes, Ava was sure. But she didn't get any form of confirmation. Better to move on, perhaps. "Alright. Well, first things first. I'm Ava, and why don't we call you Onion? Better than plain ol Bulbasaur."
Onion blinked up at her once more, a low croak being the only answer. It was something. "Good. Let's go."
She walked towards the exit of New Bark Town, heading towards the wilderness of Route 29. A new start. Finally, she could get going on what she'd been daydreaming about. And with that quick reminder, she pulled out her camera with a slight 'ah'. "I nearly forgot in all the excitement. Onion, look at me real quick!"
Onion did indeed look up at her, which was good, it meant the Bulbasaur had taken in that Onion was indeed her name. Once she had a good angle, Ava snapped a picture of her very first Pokemon. "Perfect!" And off they went.

Almost as soon as Ava checked the picture she had taken, she'd find that a figure was in the background of the picture running towards them. As Ava would come to turn her attention towards the approaching individual, the individual would bump into her with a rather decent amount of force, which caused the boy in question to also stall from the incident. With a growl of agitation, the trainer shook his head as he looked at the girl he had ran into. "Fool! Are you trying to get in my way or something!?" Spoke the crimson haired trainer, about 10, maybe 11 years old in appearance. Arrogance and stubbornness oozed from the boy's appearance between the scowl on his face and the aggressive demeanor and tone he carried with him. "Tsk, I don't got time for you. Get out of my way." He stated, carrying his Pokeball and intending to force a fight since there was already a Pokemon outside of its ball. What easier way to get stronger anyhow, it even looked 'weak'. You have encountered Rival Trainer Silver!

Ava was surprised to see another trainer so soon, she hadn't expected to bump into anyone else this quickly. Not while she was still in New Bark Town, after all, the routes were completely different. When the strange new trainer bumped into her, she let out a small 'oof' and stumbled. Onion croaked quietly and used a vine to stabilise her new trainer. "Oh, I-" Ava had been close to apologising, even though it really wasn't her fault. She was polite though, and the kid looked to be in a hurry. But the little brat was rather rude.
"Excuse me, but you ran into me, not the other way around." She huffed, crossing her arms. Did no one respect their elders any more? Just because she was an older trainer just starting out, didn't mean the young ones could try and bully her. She had a Pokemon with her now, she could better defend herself! Not to mention, the kid seemed more defiant than a delinquent. She doubted he'd try and steal her money or something.
The kid had a Pokeball in hand, and she could recognise that whole 'Our eyes have met' look. So he wanted a fight? She could do that! She'd never really battled before, some play fighting with her dad and his Pokemon once or twice when she was younger. She went through the usual trainer classes at school, but theory is one thing. Practice is a whole other beast. She quickly double-checked her Pokedex, checking the moves her Bulbasuar should know. She could remember the type matchups pretty well, so as long as the kid didn't have anything too exotic she hadn't seen before, it should be easy peasy.
"You want to fight? Okay, we'll battle. You don't have to be rude about it though." She looks down at her Bulbasaur who looks back up at her. "Okay Onion, to be safe, let's have you Growl whatever he throws out first, okay?" Onion blinks up at her trainer, but moves forward to get ready for the fight. |

"Tch. Battle a weakling like yourself? Yeah. Let's. I need some levels on this new pokemon I got, so crushing you under our heel will be the perfect way to do that," the boy sneered, flipping his red hair a bit. What a poser. He sent out that pokemon he mentioned and revealed a cyndaquil, one of the typical Johto starters. Where did he get that? "Weaken that overgrown houseplant with leer." He didn't call out a fire move...and he would have, eagerly, if this stupid mole actually had one! Urg. Useless. But that was the point of battling, to make pokemon less useless. And since this route was infested with rats and bugs and a bunch of babies with nets, this cyndaquil was possibly the strongest thing one could find in this backwater town. So as pitiful as it was, compared to everything else he could have snagged, this was the best it was going to get. However, Silver wasn't about to show that on his face. He kept up his smirk as he faced down his foe, one hand on his hip, his lips curled. The two pokemon between them were both new to battling, but perhaps eager to prove themselves? The cyndaquil leered at Onion and sent shivers down the grass-type's back, and in response, Onion growled almost cutely, amusing the cyndaquil in return. Rival Battle

Ava stopped herself from rolling her eyes. There was only so much you could say to a stubborn and rude kid. He wasn't going to listen to her, she just hoped he learnt better before someone less forgiving punished him for it. There were some mean people out there, thugs and thieves who wouldn't hesitate to steal the Pokemon of a child. So, she ignored his sneering and pointed jabs at her potential weakness. Instead, she focussed her attention on the fight proper.
When she saw his Pokemon, she almost aw'ed. He had a Cyndaquil! She quite liked those, but the Professor had said they weren't available right now since his stock of Johto starters was stolen... Hm. Perhaps he'd managed to nab the last one? This kid couldn't have stolen his Pokemon, right?
"A Cyndaquil, it's a nice Pokemon. I might have chosen it, but the Professor said he didn't have any left. You must have gotten the last one." It was friendly, an attempt to fish for information. If she got the hint the Pokemon was stolen, she'd make a report on it. She couldn't let someone get away with stealing, even if it was a kid. He probably didn't know better, despite what his attitude said about him.
She pulled out her Pokedex anyway, getting a partial scan of the Cyndaquil while she still could. "Onion, Tackle!" She called out, the Bulbasaur preparing herself to charge in and ram into the fire type.

The young man's hand clenched into a fist as the woman tried to probe him, but he wasn't having it. He then lifted that fist in front of his face and swung it down to the side in frustration. "Listen old lady, I don't care what you have to say. You're just an obstacle, physically and otherwise. I gave ya a chance to get out of my way, so now I'll make you!"He then rose his right hand, having thought that it was about time to start settling this. "Cyndaquil, use Tackle, let's show that overgrown Chia pet some of the heat!"Cyndaquil let out a cry of combat, lifting off its front legs to flex cutely for a short moment before it rushed in an attempt to tackle the Bulbasaur. It had a bit more speed to its movements as it bashed its head into Bulbasaur's, though the collective force of their movements caused them to bounce off each other. Cyndaquil landed in front of silver, who was agitated it didn't get the edge on that exchange. "Hey come on you can do better than that!"Rival Battle

Old? Old!? "Excuse me! I'm still a teenager!" Ava huffed, putting her hands on her hips. Sure, she was a lot closer to being considered an adult than this kid, but she didn't even know how to drive! She couldn't even order herself alcohol. How dare he call her old.
"Onion, keep Tackling and don't let up." It felt a little like a war of attrition, both sides were evenly matched. She could risk lowering its attack even more, but then Onion would take a free hit and Ava didn't think she could risk it. Even if the boy wasted a turn to Leer again, she hoped her own free hit would be enough to keep her in the lead. It would be close, and that doesn't even put into consideration other variables that might turn the tide of the battle.
She had a Potion with her, provided to her from the nice people at the Lab. She could use that, and if this kid also came from there he probably had one too. She didn't want this fight to go on that long. Hm. Well, she'll just have to adapt and see what happens. |

Silver shakes his head in disappointment at this cyndaquil. If he his dream of being the toughest and strongest trainer in Jhoto is to become reality, this fire mouse will have to up its game. At the same time, it is starting just he is and if this pathetic excuse of a bulbasaur was any indication, this old woman is in the same boat. "Aren't you a bit old to start this journey even though you do look like a shrimp of a woman? What do you expect to get accomplished with that excuse of a Pokemon? You won't beat me and then you will probably go home crying to your mama!"
Cyndaquil stamps the ground as hard as its small paws can waiting for another command. Silver looks down and is at least amused at the desire to fight within this fire mole. If it keeps up this kind of motivation, it may be a worthwhile Pokemon yet. "Oka y, cyndaquil, since you still got a bit of steam left, let us use another tackle to see if we can knock out this plant and send it as well as the trainer back home crying."Cyndaquil smiles at the command and runs towards the bulbasaur being happy that its new trainer believes in the abilities. The two Pokemon almost duplicates the same results but this time right before the head-on collision, cyndaquil moves to the right of the bulbasaur broad siding the plant Pokemon. The sudden shift knocks both Pokemon off to the opposite side. Rival Battle

Hey vartio, remember to change the percent in the next post. It is an easy fix for the next mod but still something to remember. |
