"Cleffy! Dodge and mimic!" Whitney said. The attack missed and clefairy mimicked it.
Acid Rain is ruining the environment! Don't persue the dying in bad weather!Melissa was surprised to see Mindy get bit back, she did remember other Pokemon using Bite but not by mirroring her own Pokemon's move like that!
"Try attacking from a distance with Water Gun!" she called, and Mindy jumped back, sending a gush of water out of her mouth at the Clefairy.

"Cleffy! Close the gap and Double Slap!" the clefairy took the watergun and flinched a bit but then charged the totodile.
Acid Rain is ruining the environment! Don't persue the dying in bad weather!"Repeating pattern..." Clive muttered. "No good."
"<Does the Totodile not know the high-pressure water attacks yet?>"
"Don't think so...if it did, that might've helped, but it'd take very long to shape the arena enough to give her a clear advantage."
"<True. Hmm...though I wonder if she couldn't...>"
"What?"
Magneton leaned over to Clive and spoke something in hushed tones.
"...I'll suggest it to her if things get bad."
"<Hmm.>"
Always touching and looking. Piss off."I'm from Oldale Town, home of not very much. I've got a couple of other pokemon on me, but they're all from Hoenn, so you've probably seen them. Low over there, my Lairon and a Ralts I caught just before I left. Most of my team's at home."
While he waited for the girl to answer, he noticed that Jack was trying to get his attention.
"Yeah, I think so. Swing by the pokecentre to get your pokemon a quick check, not that they should be hurt but it's a good habit to get into. We should be able to get to Violet City by nightfall. Kotree, Low, unless you want to walk to Violet City I guess you should go back in your pokeballs."
"Vy." Kotree replied as he pressed the button himself.
"Swell!" Low cried as she took to the air.
Jeremy looked up at the bird, as she did a couple of loops. "Why do you always have to play this game?" It took a couple of tries but he managed to retrieve her as she divebombed him.

You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My Tumblr"Suggest what?" Lillian asked Clive.
The bite landed on the the clefairy's left paw, "Cleffy! Use metronome!" the clefairy left paw was hurting but she pulled the move off and attacked.
"Oh goodie," Lillain said, "Fire Spin. How useful."
I just hit random page on bulbapedia til I hit an attack page. It was firespin. So now you are attacked by firespin.
Athena frowned for a moment to herself. Where was Violet City? Something about a tower...maybe it was the place of the burnt tower? Rumored home of the three legendary dog pokémon? *
This could be most rewarding.
"Yeah." She said, a bit more dismissively than she should've. "Seen them all before. Unless it's a Huntail or a Feebas, I've pretty much seen it."

New User Handle"Put out the fire with Water Gun!" Melissa yelled. She had been a little worried when Clefairy had used Metronome, as that could turn out any attack, but luckily it wasn't as dangerous since it had been a Fire attack. Totodile's Water Gun shot through the flames, turning them to steam as the attack headed for the Clefairy's face. It was hard to see whether or not the attack was going to hit or not.
OOC: Using Bulbapedia like that was a good way to use Metronome! I'll keep that in mind if I ever have a character who has a Pokemon with that move.

"With it's paw wounded as it is, it can't use double slap," Lillian observed.
"Cleffy! Metronome again!" Whitney call out out. The clefairy waggled it's fingers and then shot out a barrage of icicles.
"Ah, Icicle Spear," Lillian said, "Another excelent move for this battle."
Either Bulbapedia wants me to lose, or it thinks I'm up against a grass type.

Acid Rain is ruining the environment! Don't persue the dying in bad weather!Totodile tried to dodge out of the way, and while some of the icicles missed her, a few hit her anyway. She easily shook off the attack, as her Water-type gave her a resistance to ice.
"Try Scratch this time!" Melissa called. Perhaps she would win at this rate, at least, it seemed like she was getting lucky with the attacks Metronome was sending out.
The clefairy rolled out of the way, the totodile's claws nicking her tail, "Ha! Not bad, Kiddo. Cleffy! Bite!" the clefairy charge the water type.
"Ah... I guess she gave up on metronome," Lillian observed, "I guess I forgot she mimicked that move in the beginning, now she has it for the rest of the battle."
Jeremy was going to defend his pokemon by noting that he hadn't made it to the rarer pokemon habitats and that even if he did, he wasn't sure he could so heartlessly replace one of his pokemon, but there was a flash and the smell of ozone.
He turned and saw that Jack was on the ground at Amp's feet, twitching ever so slightly. Jeremy doubted any malice on Amp's part, electric types were well-known for accidentally shocking people.
"Jack you okay?" Jeremy asked, "Sean, I guess we better carry him to the Pokecentre."
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrSean nodded to the other trainer, a hint of a trickster's smile playing on his lips. "I did warn him..." Sean bent down to pick up the unfortunate one.
Amp poked Jack, grimicing at what she did. "<I am really sorry. I totally didn't mean to do that...>"
Without warning, one of Sean's Pokeballs burst open, revealing a Sableye that was enormous for its kind.* "<What did you do this time, Amp?>" The ghost Pokemon queried, looking with intrigue at the slightly sizzled Jack.
"<Nothing on purpose. I swear. Pichu honour.>" Amp made some sort of hand gesture to go with the statement.
"<Eh, I don't care. Let's hit him with stuff!>"
Sean saw the Sableye winding up to hit Jack with a stick. "No! Bad Sparkles! Get back in your Pokeball!"
Sparkles looked sad. "<How come Amp gets to hurt people and I don't. Spoilsports...>" Sparkles then returned to his Pokeball.
(*Sparkles happens to be about 4' tall. Compare that to their usual size of... 1'2" or something. Ya, he's a big boy...)

"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValJeremy stood a step back when the huge Sableye appeared. The critters had been freaky enough when he had been catching Rona. But this one was huge and the manic gleam in it's jewel eyes was down right scary. Fortunately after what sounded like being chastised by Amp for waving a stick around, he went back in his pokeball.
"How come Sparkles is so huge?" Jeremy had to ask, bending down and taking Jack's legs.
Nathan seemed torn between begging Sean for information about Sparkles and concern for Jack. He ended up going with concern, and annoyed both of them by getting in the way.
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrSean attempted to shrug while holding Jack. "Honestly, I don't know. I was wondering around the cave for a while when it had a group of normal sized Sableye try and jump me. Luckily I had Amp with me. But damn, Sparkles was probably one of the toughest Pokemon I ever had to fight." Sean scratched his chin. "Now that I think about it, I'm not even sure why I keep him around; he scares the crap out of me sometimes..."
"<You don't know the half of it...>" muttered Amp, trying to find something to do to help.
"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior Val"I have trouble releasing the pokemon I catch." Jeremy said, "Or end up with. Back home I have a Shedinja, it creeps me out but I can't bear to release it."
"Is he okay?" Nathan interjected.
"He should be," Jeremy answered, "but why don't you go talk with Athena?"
They shuffled for a couple of steps before Jeremy's curiosity got the better of him.
"So where are you from Sean? You don't sound local, in fact I can't even hear your accent."
You must agree, my plan is sheer elegance in its simplicity! My TumblrSean smiled. "Good ol' Oldale Town is where I'm from. Just moved here a few weeks ago. Of course, the reason we moved is for my parents to kick me out of the house to stay with my uncle for a while." Sean looked closer at Jeremy. "Y'know, now that I think about it, you look vaguely familiar. Where are you from?"
***Dialga wuz here!!1!***
Sean shrugged. "Azalea Town is where I'm headed. But a little detour never hurt anyone." Amp nodded her head in agreement.

"Evii is right though" -Saturn "I didn't know you were a bitch Evii." -Lior ValAthena nodded quietly. She knew about Huntail. She just needed to find a deep sea tooth. As for Feebas...she had spent three weeks fishing, and then had gotten pneumonia as a result. She had decided to take a little...break... after that incident. On two entirely unrelated notes, she now had a strong hatred of Carvanha, and was no longer allowed within a ten foot distance of that river, or the rangers would tackle her. She probably should have not used that Manectric to do fishing the *easy* way.
Athena eyed Sean. Another guy from Old Dale? Seemed a bit odd. Well, not the Sableye. Athena knew Sableye quite well. Two days in a dark cave with no pokémon that knew flash would do that to a person. The other pokémon on the hand...
Athena knew it to be an Ampharos, but she had never seen one up close.
"Hey uhmmm..." Crap, forgot the kid's name. She spoke a bit louder and directed more of her voice towards him. "Mind if I uhh..." She waved her pokédex vaguely and gestured at the Ampharos. "Dex him?"
Suddenly, a light sparked in her head. Azalea Town? It sounded familiar. Birch had mentioned the town before. Some guy named Chris or something was supposed to live there. He apparently made rare pokéballs. That would be a place she would have to head to at one point or another.

New User Handle"You're from Oldale too?" Jeremy replied, "Small world. I don't think we would've really met, age difference and all." Good work Jeremy, nice and tactful, don't call him old. "And I spent most of the last couple of years journeying around Hoenn."

"Go, Mindy!" Melissa called, sending a Totodile out of a Pokeball. She gave a thumbs-up to those who were cheering for her, and she made her first move.
"Use Bite!" she commanded, and Mindy lunged at the Clefairy with her powerful jaws.
