While Pokemon Trainers may come in all shapes and sizes, they usually have a common theme going on with them. Many of them are oriental looking, wearing common clothes, like plain shirts and pants. Some are stylized, looking bit like skaters, or Gothic. Or pop stars. Heck, there are those dressed like noble heroes, or even Pokemon. This person may stand out like a sore thumb. Not many trainers have his tone colored skin, or maybe dressed like people out of the rough streets. Sure, there might be a few trainers like that, but not as rugged as Dan Ferguson, a trainer from a not well-known region. A trainer that always looked like he'll punch someone in the face if you even talked to him. Dan always had a very narrow and fierce face, even when he's not in a bad mood. Walking along side of him was a tiny blue turtle, a Squirtle, mimicking his look and way of walking. They both walked like they were giants. At least Dan seemed like one. Very large for his age, perhaps over 6 feet. He was just a teen who enjoyed fighting, but only for recreation. And he thought training other Pokemon would bring more excuse than fighting on your own. All he hoped for was to find a Pokemon that looked worthy, or a bold trainer who wanted a fight.

[[OOC: Sorry that no one got to your thread sooner. The beginning of the week had a lot going on for me. I’m here now and I’m ready to moderator. Looks like the random number generator wanted to make up the delay to you, too.]]
Finding a worthy challenge might prove harder than Dan had thought. There were hardly any people around and none of the ones that were nearby were trainers. You had to wonder if the lack of people had to do with the intimidating air that Dan was putting off. After all, he was looking for someone to fight and didn’t exactly look like someone to mess with. Odds were no one wanted to face the big boned teen even if they had Pokémon to use. So Dan and his TJ continued on looking for a challenge. If no one in town wanted to face him, maybe he would have more luck out on Route 29. Before Dan had quite made it to the route, while he was still within the city limits, he heard a commotion coming from behind some houses. Stopping in his tracks Dan listened closely to see if he could tell where and what was making the sounds. Sure enough, there was another set of loud crashes which sounded like a multitude of objects were being knocked over. Before Dan could go and investigate, the source of the noise staggered out into the open. Standing there was a panda-like Pokemon with crazed swirls for eyes and random splotches of orange on its fur. The Spinda was anything but stable on its feet and staggered around, tripping over its own feet and the smallest pebble. Despite all of its clumsiness, the Spinda looked quite happy as it thrashed around with a smile on its face. It seemed to enjoy its reckless ballet through the street. When it noticed Dan and TJ standing a short distance away, it paused its actions but continued to wobble on its feet. It look at Dan inquisitively as it swayed back and forth, and when its gaze went up the entire length of Dan’s body it caused the Spinda to lean back too much and fall over. " Spin spin spin!" The panda Pokémon let out a feint laugh over its own clumsiness before shakily standing back up. Spinda looked interested in Dan and stepped forward, as if in a battle position. Perhaps the Spinda thought it would be fun to have a battle.

"Well..." the large teen gave one dark grin...though the way he grinned probably wasn't on purpose. That's just how he is. "Can't really turn down a challenge, aye TJ?" "Squir..." the turtle nodded, stepping forward toward the furry creature. Without another word, TJ dived forward, ducking his body inside his shell. His shell flew like a Frisbee, aiming to Tackle the Spinda.

[[OOC: You are getting really weird results with the number generator. First you get lucky with the Spinda, but now you managed to get that slim 5%. Very odd…]]
Squirtle flew through the air directly at the Spinda, and it looked like it would be an easy hit. The Pokémon staggered around in an unbalanced manner that made it look like as easy target. Just as TJ was about to make contact, the Spinda stumbled out of the way it an almost deliberate fashion. In fact, it had been on purpose and the lack of balance had all be a ruse to mess up TJ’s aim. TJ flew harmless by Spinda and came to a stop a few feet behind it. Spinda was not finished yet and ran back for TJ. It got behind the turtle Pokémon as it was standing up and rammed into it with its own Tackle. The attack sent TJ flying back toward Dan as it landed back where it had launched its tackle at the Spinda. TJ got back on its feet quick enough, showing that it hadn’t sustained enough damage to finish the fight. The attack had still done more damage than expected, most likely from the same type attack bonus that the Normal type Spinda got from using a Normal type attack. “ Spindadada!” The panda Pokémon begun to laugh at the attempts of TJ and Dan, having dodged taking any damage and inflicting a fair amount against the trainer’s Pokémon. Spinda began to spin around on one of its feet in a playful manner, showing just how confident it was with battling. Even if it had been lucky that it had dodged the attack, it still left it with an advantage in the battle. What will TJ do next?

((OOC: Yeah, lucky me...-_-)
Well that was surely embarrassing. Apparently, this little sucker was faster than its drunk face looked. But they're far from done, not while he had one little trick...his region's own way of battling that Dan briefly showed TJ before... "Remember what I told you about that trick?" "Squirtle?" Blinking blankly, he did, until he beamed in comprehension. Squirtle walked over to the Spinda, huffing angrily until... <Hey! Look!> He exclaimed, pointing at something behind Spinda. <Balloons!> And while he was hopefully distracted, Squirtle charged at the Spinda with another Tackle attack. Hopefully that little trick will get him a critical hit or Spinda won't attack on time or just miss. Nah, it does nothing. Though it would be funny if Squirtle lands a critical.

[[OOC: Uhhh...no. I'm sorry, but we can't accept the trainer interacting in a battle in this manner. I know we don't strictly follow the game format, but neither do we allow anything happen. It's just not feasible or appropriate to have the trainer get in on the battle. It's an interesting idea, but it just goes against the format and level of acceptance on the site. You're going to have to rewrite the post and take out Dan throwing Squirtle.]]

I think trying to get your Pokemon to distract the opponent in an unconventional means is too similar to that. Besides, I'm still going to use the number generator so there is still a 5% chance you'll miss again. All Pokemon will attempt to dodge as a natural instinct. "Our method of battling is somewhat similar to the Pokemon games rather than to the Pokemon anime/TV shows." I'm going to not have you edit the post again and just continue on, but I'd like you to refrain from these tactics in the future.]]
The Spinda looked at TJ confused, wondering why it was trying to tell it something during the middle of a battle. It turned its head to the side in confusion, trying to figure out what the point of this information was. It briefly looked around it trying to figure out what these “balloons” were that the Squirtle was talking about. When the Spinda brought its gaze forward, TJ was charging at it with another tackle. The Spinda tried to teeter on its feet to cause TJ to miss again, but it wasn’t as successful when you try it two times in a row. TJ landed a tackle on the side of the Spinda, causing it to spin around on a single foot like a top. “ Spiiiiinda…” When it came to a stop after a brief moment, the Spinda held its head in place to keep it from spinning. It was hard to tell if it had worked since the panda’s eyes always looked like they were dizzy. Once it regained its composure, the Spinda ran at TJ to return the favor. It lowered its shoulder to land another Tackle just as TJ had returned back to its spot near Dan. The force of the attack caused TJ to move back a bit, but it wasn’t that bad. Spinda once again moved back to its spot, but now it looked slightly less joyful. It was still moving around like a ditz, it was just that its face looked more serious. Well, as serious as a panda can look that has spirals for eyes. What will TJ do next. Battle Spinda | Level 5 | Health: 79% Status: Normal TJ | Level 5 | Health: 70% Status: Normal

Well at least that got them a little even. TJ should be able to pound this furball on his own. He was able to tell the health of each Pokemon, using the poke-dex's scanner features. Also, he was able to learn that this panda thing was the rarest Pokemon in this route. How lucky was that, he wondered. Thought this weird Pokemon wasn't one he hoped to find. Maybe he can give this Pokemon to a kid who likes teddy bears, or something. And indeed he will. TJ quickly leaped up and wasted no time charging at the Spinda, again.

[[OOC: I would like to see more than just 2 sentences. I know it can be hard to make a longer post for a battle since it usually boils down to commanding an attack, but try to get at least 1-2 decent paragraphs. Describe what's going through Dan or TJ's heads, or what their plan is or how they feel. Just...more than 2 sentences please. Much better, thank you.]]
TJ runs at Spinda once again to deliver it another tackle attack. It picks up speed before tucking inside its shell, flying the last few feet. This time TJ makes contact with Spinda in the head, causing it to fall over backwards from the impact. TJ pops back out of its shell and runs back to Dan before the Spinda can make a move. There wasn’t much of a risk though as the Spinda just lies there with a strange sound coming from it. When it finally stands up you can see tears starting to form from its bizarre eyes, and the sound you had heard was it sobbing. All of a sudden Spinda begins to scream at the top of its lungs and thrash around, creating an Uproar! “ Spinda spinda spinda!” Slowly the volume of the attack grows and you can begin to see the air being affected. The Spinda is yelling so loud that it is substantially moving the air. Out of nowhere the Spinda lets out a particularly loud yell and a blue sound wave comes tearing through the air, hitting TJ squarely in the chest and knocking it over. Spinda continues its ourburst, showing no signs of letting up. Battle Spinda | Level 5 | Health: 54% Status: Normal TJ | Level 5 | Health: 59% Status: Normal

"OW!!!" Gritting his teeth, Dan covered his ears to shield them from the violent cry. "Damn!" That sound just pounded his ears. He wondered how trainers survived from the crossfires of a Pokemon battle. What? Don't fire hurt them if an opposing Pokemon's attack misses and hits the trainer instead? Well, right now, it's somewhat happening right now. "TJ, would you shut that thing?!" "Squirt..." TJ groaned, holding his non-existent ears as well. While he did so, TJ again charged at the Spinda. There wasn't much he could do, besides that. If only he knew some powerful water attacks, then this battle would be a breeze.

TJ ran at Spinda again, making sure to not get hit by another one of those sound waves. It didn’t look like that would happen though as nothing like that was happening. It may hurt TJ’s ears, but all the sound it was being buffeted by while attacking wasn’t physically hurting it. TJ managed to get right up to Spinda without another burst of sound and rammed it with its shell again. As Spinda was preoccupied with its uproar, it hadn’t prepared for the attack at all. There was a resounding smack as TJ made contact and from the distance that Spinda went flying back, it was most likely a Critical Hit!Spinda immediately got back on its feet ran back to its position to attack. It was clear that getting hit again wasn’t doing anything to improve its mood. It started to build up its screaming again and let out another Uproar. TJ ran as fast as it could to get out of range, but the blue sound wave caught up with him and sent him sprawling forward. TJ slid the rest of the way back on its stomach from the force of the attack hitting it. Luckily, TJ managed to stand back up and the spectacle of its being pushed forward did not match the damage it had taken. For the first time in the battle, Dan and TJ were actually leading thanks in part to that critical hit. Battle Spinda | Level 5 | Health: 18% Status: Normal TJ | Level 5 | Health: 46% Status: Normal

Oh yes indeed! TJ must had collided in a weak spot of Spinda's to get that critical. Perhaps since it used too much energy for that Uproar, it was leaving its weak spot open. Well one hit should end this. "Take him down." "Squirt!" Still covering his ears, TJ charged like a football player, hoping to end this once and for all. Any more of this, and TJ will be hearing a ringing sound for the rest of his life.

TJ ran at the Spinda for what was hopefully the last time, intent on finishing this. It looked a little weird running with its hands on its head, but the noise that Spinda was producing would bother anyone. TJ got to its mark again without another blue burst of energy and positioned him for the attack. It rammed its shell into Spinda again and sent it tumbling back. TJ made another run for it thinking that the Spinda would knock it down from behind again. Furiously moving its little legs, TJ made it back to Dan without any incident. Then something dawned on the both of them. It was quiet. The Spinda was no longer screaming and shouting, lying motionless on the ground. The panda Pokémon was on its back staring up at the sky, mouth slightly agape. It was hard to tell if it was really knocked out with those spiral eyes, but the lack of any movement and the silent air around it all pointed to that conclusion. The battle was finally over and though TJ had started off rough, the Squirtle and its trainer had prevailed in the end. Now they could only hope that they would still be able to hear after this.

"Yeesh..." Dan sighed, putting down his hands from his ears. He felt his ears ringing, still, but the ringing was at least dying down, so he breathed in relief that he won't go deaf. Well, that made quite a good workout for his Squirtle, but he couldn't leave the weird bear dead like that. So he tossed a poke-ball right at the Spinda.

Dan had done it. He had successfully captured a wild Pokémon. Luckily for him, it was also a rare one. It was strange for anyone to see a rare Pokémon so early. Dan had practically just began his adventure. Already, he had three Pokémon. Things were going well for him. As Dan concentrated on his new Pokémon, footsteps drew closer. Someone was watching them. They were beginning to pick up the pace. Suddenly, a loud, startling voice began to shout out. " That was awesome! You destroyed that Pokémon! Battle me! Battle me, please!" a kid cried, jumping out from behind the trainer. He was talking too fast. He seemed really excited. The young boy couldn't be an experienced trainer. He looked too innocent. His clothes were clean and there wasn't a scratch on the Pokéball in his hand. He too must have been new to Pokémon. He was notably younger than Dan so he wouldn't be much of a threat. Still, the boy was insisting that he wanted a battle and he didn't look like he was going to back away soon. It would probably be easier to just go along with things and battle him.
