created by arionne of pokemoncheyenne | lyrics from glad you came by the wanted [/style] [style=width:420px;margin:0 0 0 60px;font-family:georgia;font-size:10px; text-align:justify;] Fate walked into the cafe with steely determination. He had to find a new recruit for Ace Academy. He had been stalling for the mission, but too sure how to approach it. Last time he tried, the conversation never quite went in the right direction. It had been a wonderful chat, but he was no closer to completing his mission. This time around, he was ready. He would be more direct, as rude as it would make him seem. He didn't want to keep disappointing the school.
The cafe was full of people, some of them in pairs, making loving eyes at each other, while others were just enjoying their brew alone. He wouldn't talk to anyone that looked incredibly busy, but if they weren't really doing anything, he supposed he could just go over there and say hello.
Fate ordered himself a small cup of coffee, not wanting to appear too awkward, and walked over to where a man was sitting alone. He quickly did his checklist. He looked presentable, hood down, and a small, polite smile on his face. "Hello, is this seat taken?" he asked.

The man known as Aaron Phoenix was sitting in the Verona Cafe. He was taking a break from his normal training as the Gym Match against his first Gym Leader was coming up soon. He was sure that he was going to be ready to sweep through this Gym. Then he could move onto the next one and maybe catch some Pokemon along the way. He knew that Scraggy were generally found in Electric City and he planned to catch one. As he sat alone with a bottle of water and a few pieces of toast. He was then greeted by a small boy who wanted to sit with him. "Look. I'm gonna cut straight to the chase. I'm not buying anything, i'm not selling anything, and I do accept battles." as he looked at Fate waiting to see which one he wanted to do.

It flustered him a bit, but he tried to stay calm, stay focused. He was here on a mission! "So, this seat is free, then?" he said with a smile, sliding into the chair. "Don't worry, i'm not trying to sell or buy anything. Maybe we can battle later, though? After coffee?" he held up his cup to show the other he really was just here to finish up his drink. Amongst other things.
"My name is Fate," he said after a little pause, holding his hand out. He almost went with one of his cheesy conversation starters involving his name, but something told him the other male wouldn't be too receptive of it. |

Aaron simply stared at Fate as he acted like nothing was weird about this greeting. He simply looked at the man sit down in front of him and tell Aaron his name. Fate was an odd name..but then again Phoenix was a weird last name. He simply looked at his hand stuck out and took a swing of his water. "Aaron. That's my name. Usually people don't sit with a stranger when their are plenty of other seats to sit in. So either you're hitting on me. Which i'm straight. Or you want something..so let's cut to the chase." he said folding his arms and waiting for the man to speak to him more directly.

Fate gave a sheepish laugh and took a sip of his coffee, trying to formulate his words carefully. "Well, I swear, I'm not trying to sell you anything. Or hit on you. I don't believe I swing that way either." Keep it casual, keep it pleasant. He swirled the content in his cup a few times. "Have you ever heard of Ace Academy?" It was hard not to, considering the whole island-wide alert they had going on, but just in case. "I'm a student at the academy, and I'm trying to recruit a few more people." |

Aaron simply set down his water on the table and stared at Fate for a few minutes after he had finished speaking. Joining Team Ace? He wasn't much of a team player...but they had resources which could help him accomplish his goal. He went back and forth on the thought for a while. "So you want me to join you? What benefits would the organization have for me? So far I have 5 Pokemon on my team. Plus i'm actually aiming to conquer the Elite 4 and start my own Gym." He leaned back in his chair and folded his arms "Any way you could accommodate those?" he said with a very serious face. Definitely looked like he meant business.

Fate had to be careful with the words he spoke next, as this was his thirty seconds to sell his... well... to recruit Aaron. He smiled at the other trainer, his mouth curving up just a bit, before starting to speak.
"Ace Academy welcomes all level of trainers, and it strives to help every student become better trainers and to, ultimately, achieve the goals we set for ourselves. They have excellent training facilities and help develop the bond between you and your pokemon. They've even taken someone like me, who came to Cheyenne without knowing red or white of a pokeball, and turned me into a decent trainer. I even have a badge now! I am certain they would do everything they can to support your endeavors!
Fate hoped he didn't take it a bit too far, trying not to portray his nervousness. He really wanted to finish this mission for the Academy! |

Aaron just sat there with a blank expression watching Fate for a bit as he explained himself. It seemed he really wanted Aaron to join..but for what reason was unknown. So after he finish Aaron tapped his finger against the table for about a full minute before saying "Fine. I'll join you guys on two conditions. First, You're organizations goals aren't going to interfere with mine. I'll be continuing my journey regardless. And the second is that you battle against me and win." he said with smirk. If Fate accepted his challenge Aaron would be more than happy to join Team Ace...if not..then probably not so much..

Fate couldn't really say much about how Ace Academy would interfere with his goals or not, and he really wasn't sure how a battle would work out between them, but nodded anyways. "Okay," he said, quickly finishing the his coffee. "We can go to the trainer's lounge, then." He put on his most confident smile as he tried not to panic. He could do this. He could do this. He had been getting better, and it will turn out okay. He stood up, ready to leave for the TLE.
Maybe he could use Spinarak? She knew what to do. No. That wouldn't be good. He wanted Aaron to see his skills. He had to be the one in control. "Do you want to use one or two pokemon?" he asked.

Aaron smiled and followed Fate to the Trainer's Lounge. "Well. Let's go with 2. I'd like to see your strengths to know what i'll be doing with in Team Ace." he said as they entered the lounge and selected a room. "It'll be a single battle using two Pokemon each. No substitutions or items allowed." he said as he moved to his side of the arena. "I'll throw first and make the first move." he said as he tossed out his brand new Meditite who sat with her legs crossed in preparation for the upcoming battle. Befitting her name in Meditation.

Two pokemon. Fate didn't want to use Spinarak, but maybe Unown would be interesting. The unown were, after all, the mascot for the academy, and it might entice Aaron to get one himself? It was the prize for the first mission and it had treated him rather well.
Still, Fate also wanted to see how well he could battle on his own, without the help from his pokemon making decisions for him. He considered Skitty, the first pokemon he had ever received. She was strong and listened to him well, and battled decently. It would be interesting, at least, to have her face against the pokemon Aaron had used. He would go for it.
"Skitty! Let's go!" he called out, and the small pink feline was released from her equally pink ball. She looked around, standing quite proud, tail in the air, and waited to see what would happen next. |

Aaron smiled and said "A Skitty being normal type won't fair well against a Fighting Type..better hope you have a good strategy in place." He said before crossing his arms as his Meditate stood up from her sitting position. "Alright let's kick this off with something easy! Use Meditate and then Confusion." Meditite concentrated as he attack power rose (Even higher than the normal starting amount due to her ability) and her eyes glowed a faint blue color as she shot off a psychic wave towards the Skitty that had the chance to cause confusion if it landed.

No. It wasn't the wrong choice. He trusted in Skitty. The meditite went into action and Skitty was pushed back, but nearly as strong as Fate had thought. The pure power and meditation did a good job of raising the pokemon's attack power, but confusion was a special attack. Not that Fate could tell the difference. He still wasn't that skilled in battle yet, despite his time in the Academy. But the levels were in his favour. He could do this.
"Okay! Skitty, let's do this! Fake Out, and Sing!" he said. He had used this combination before, and it had worked well for him before. The fake out, especially, would be quite useful. The pokemon shook off the confusion and skipped over, almost cutely and lunged in to the left, before using her tail to attack from the right, creating a little shockwave that was sure to hit. She then moved back a bit and started to sing, her voice trying to make the meditite fall asleep, stopping only to take a little bite of her leftovers.

(OOC: Ari you dropped the ball on this one! C'mon man! XD) Aaron simply frowned as the attack didn't do much damage. He didn't expect it to do a lot but at least hoped it would do more than it actually did. However the battle was far from being over. As the Skitty came towards Meditite with a Fake Out it was too speedy to dodge so Meditite was hit and cringed as the Sing came soon after and she fell asleep. Aaron simply tapped his foot impatiently as Meditite fell into a sound sleep. She simply sat there in a meditative state as the Skitty could do what she pleased now..for a little while that is.

He had a giddy smile on his face as he looked at the field, surveying the area. The meditite was asleep, and so she was a sitting ducklet. "Skitty! Headbutt!" he called out. "And growl!"
He wasn't too sure how well growl would would with the pokemon asleep, but Skitty still let out the cutest of growls to make herself look less threatening and to lower hte meditite's attack. She then walked over daintily and readied herself, lowering her head before going in for a zen headbutt on the meditite. Her normalize activated, dissipating the psychic energy that normally came with the attack.

Aaron grimaced a little bit as his Meditite remained sleeping. That was definitely something he's have to deal with. Finding a Mankey would be the key to avoid the sleeping issue. Either way he continued to wait with his arms crossed patiently as the Skitty assaulted his Meditite once more which lowered her health and attack. Aaron didn't say anything but rather waited for the Meditite to wake up. He just hoped it was sooner rather than later.

Sure, that had been the plan, but seeing Skitty attack the sleeping meditite made him feel terrible. The point of this battle was to show Aaron how strong he was, though, and so he had to finish it up. But then again, he had also learn fairness, compassion. He had learn that winning wasn't everything, and he couldn't.
"Skitty, foresight!" he called out. If the pokedex was right, this wouldn't harm the meditite. Indeed, the skitty watched the meditite and swiped her tail in the air, letting out a scent that would help her see the meditite better, to better sense her foe. Fate looked up at Aaron, telling him that his turn was over and he wasn't going to finish it like this.

A vein bulged in Aaron's head in visible annoyance as Fate held back against him. It didn't matter that he had the level advantage Aaron was determined to win. As Fate looked at him as if he was doing a favor Aaron just glared back as if Fate had just drowned his Goldfish. However it was at this point that Meditite woke up from it's sleep and quickly shook off the effects of the move. "Meditite. We're not going to waste anytime. Let's use Meditate and then Ice Punch." he said calmly as his Meditite concentrated and her attack rose back up before her fist was cloaked in freezing cold energy and she charged at the Skitty with a very powerful punch that had the chance to freeze the Skitty if it connected.

Bad bad idea, thought Fate, as Aaron gave him the dirtiest look in the world. He should have read it, should have seen that this trainer wouldn't appreciate the actions. He could only reply by putting his all in the battle.
"Skitty! Dig!" he called out. He had never used this attack before and hoped that it would turn out okay. His pokemon had been hit quite rather hard by the ice punch, the feline finding herself gasping for breath and wincing in pain as she tumbled back. The meditite packed quite a punch. Shaking the pain off, she started to dig, her paws suddenly much stronger then normal as she created a small tunnel for her to hide in. Next turn, she would attack.
Fate, seeing his pokemon fail to attack the meditite again, just hoped that Aaron wouldn't get any madder.

Aaron expression lightened as Fate actually decided to use an attacking move this time. It wasn't the most ideal to use in a situation like this but at least he wasn't purposely doing nothing. It was Dig a move his own Timburr, Doko knew so he was pretty familiar on how it worked. "Alright Meditite use Meditate and wait until the moment Skitty resurfaces." he said calmly as Meditite's attack power rose even higher than before after this she would just wait until the Skitty would come up to attack her.
