Hands shoved in pocket, Rovek Padfoot sauntered through the Route with an air of casualness. His hair was ruffled by the wind, though he made no effort to make it neat again. He didn't care about his appearance. Okay, maybe he would mind if he was dressed all spazzy and nice. He hated that kind of stuff. Anyone can tell he was a rebel; the way his shirt was untucked and ruffled while his one side of his leather jacket slipped off his shoulder so that it looked carelessly lopsided.
A smirk was upon his lips as he continued forward. But damn, walking so much from the Ranger Station: he was pretty tired.
"Ah well, might as well rest a while,"he said to himself. Without moment's hesitation, he flopped down at the base of a maple tree. He crossed his hands behind his head and rested at the base of the tree, his legs extended out. Rovek's gray eyes gazed at the sky with a lazy glaze in them. I could take a nap,he thought, starting to close his eyes when a rustling sound alerted him.

A breeze lightly blew as Nera walked down the path. A smiled as the sun shown through the leaves above her. She had done well so far in route one. She had meet a few different pokemon. Even caught an Ekans. Medusa and Ikori both now rested in their pokeballs. Ikori had done plenty of fighting so far, but Medusa had only been in the battle with Ikori. She was itching to fight with her new pokemon. She rounded a turn in the path and came upon a person lying down beneath a tree. She could see he had some pokeballs with him. Nera's smile grew as she stepped forward. "Hey, your a trainer right? Lets battle!" Nera pulled out Medusa's healball and threw it in the air. The heal ball quickly released the snake pokemon. Medusa blinked as she got used to the light then turned to Nera. <Is it my turn now?> Nera nodded and waited for the other trainer.

"Huh?"Rovek opened one eye to see a trainer before him. A slight frown crossed his face, feeling a bit put off that his nap was interrupted. He was about to decline when the trainer already brought out her Ekans. With a slight grumble, Rovek got onto his feet, scratching his head a little as he glanced at the trainer before him with mild curiousity. She was quite pretty, though Rovek had a feeling she was in no mood for a date with him. Ah well,he sighed to himself. Rovek decided he might as well fight her. He gave her his signature smirk and replied, "Fine. But don't cry if you lose."He got a Pokeball out of his pocket and threw up. The ball opened and white light spilled onto the ground, revealing a Natu. Natu shook out its wings a bit, hopping a couple steps forward. Rovek looked down at his Natu with pensive eyes. He still hadn't decided on a name for it yet. It'll come to me later,he decided. For now, it'll be called "Natu".

Nera smiled at the other trainer as he pulled out a pokeball and released his pokemon. Medusa stared at the bird pokemon wondering if she could eat it if she beat it. She was still hungry from before. Nera looked down and saw the hungry look in the snake pokemon's eyes. "Medusa you can't eat other peoples pokemon. It's not right."
Medusa turned her head to look up at her trainer and held back a sigh as she nodded. <Then I shall only fight.> She turned her purple head and stared at the natu as she waited for Nera's orders. Nera looked back up at the other trainer, her smile growing as excitement built up in her. "Get ready, cuz' we aren't going to hold back." Nera looked over the natu before deciding what to do. "Medusa use Leer then Wrap." Medusa's eyes focused on the bird pokemon as she used Leer before she shot forward to wrap her coils around it.

Wow, this girl wasted no time,Rovek thought, rubbing his eyes a bit, still slightly sleepy. He shook his head a couple times to get his mind back into the battle. Before he realized it, the Ekans struck. Natu waited for her trainer's orders, though none came and she was caught in the glaring leer of Medusa. The little bird Pokémon froze as the eyes met hers, causing her to remain motionless in fright. She was helpless to defend herself as the coils wrapped tightly around her. The pressure released her from her paralysis and the Natu struggled. <Do something!>she screeched at her trainer. "Oh great..."Rovek mumbled, racking his brain to remember what moves his Natu knows. "Oh right. Natu, Peck!"he commanded. <Finally!>Natu said with exasperation, digging her beak into Medusa's flesh. Natu's defense fell. Natu used Peck

Nera's smile grew as the guy finally started to wake up. There was no way she was going to go easy on he first fight. She was going all out. Medusa was in agreement with her trainer. It had been to long since she had gotten to fight and she was itching for more. She felt that with Nera directing her moves she could get better. She squeezed hard on the bird Pokémon and winced slightly when it used peck. Her tongue slipped out to taste the air. The natu filled her senses and she felt excitement course through her body. Nera watched the battle and thought of what was best to do next. Natu was a flying and psychic type, weak against Bug, ghost and dark types. A bug wouldn't help since it was flying and Medusa was a poison, not the other two types. There was one thing that could help though, Bite. That one attack of Medusa's was a dark type and would be really effective on the phychic bird. She just had to hope it hit. "Medusa, use Bite!" Medusa's eyes flashed when she head those words. She opened her purple maw and lunged at the natu in her coils. Hit by Peck Uses Bite

<Ow! Ow! Ow!>What excruciating pain in that one Bite! Natu screeched out her hurt and struggled even more, feeling the dagger like teeth sink into her skin. Natu wriggled violently, trying to break free from Medusa's grip. Natu could feel her energy being sapped away. "Erm, Natu, use Leer!"Rovek directed, starting to grow unsure. Summing up her strength, Natue glared at the Ekans, hoping it'll break her hold. Hit by Bite, super effective Used Leer

Medusa bit down hard on the bird pokemon. She struggled to to try to devour it. She knew Nera would be mad if she did. She could feel it struggling in her jaws. Just then it turned and shot a Leer at her. Medusa pulled back from the bite and hissed at the natu. She didn't like having her own attack used against her.
Nera smiled as she called out another attack. "Medusa, use poison sting." Medusa reared her head up high and opened her mouth wide. She shot the poisonous needles down at the natu that lay within her coils. It would not be as effective as her last attack, but it would be if it poisoned the natu. Though only if it hit its mark.

The needle-like stingers hit square on into Natu, and the little Pokemon let out a squak of pain, feeling her strength starting to ebb. Natu already began to feel dizzy, though luckily the stingers didn't poisen her permanently. "This isn't going so great,"Rovek thought aloud, knowing his Natu was probably at a much lower level than the Ekans. He wasn't his usual cocky mood anymore, retaining a more solemn appearance. At least Poison attacks didn't affect Natu, being a Psychic type. But Rovek knew that one more hit from a Bite attack and Natu would be done for. "Natu! Use Confusion!"Rovek commanded, knowing Psychic attacks are strong against Poison. <??>Natu froze for a moment, processing what Rovek had said. Natu concentrated hard, trying to bring forth the feeling, but nothing came out. <Damn it Rovek!!!>Natu screeched angrily, glaring at her Trainer with irritated eyes. "Oh right, you don't know it yet. Haha, my bad,"Rovek replied, scratching the back of his head and grinning a sheepish grin. "Peck then!"Rovek called out, trying to clear up his mistake. <He's going to be the death of me -.- >Natu thought with a roll of her eyes, though she obliged and pecked at the Ekans, more forcefully than before.

Medusa hissed as the natu was hit with her attack. It wasn't very effective, but it was better than using the same attack over and over. She needed to be good at using all of her attacks. When Rovek tell the Natu to use confusion Medusa froze up. She shut her eyes and prepared for the painful attack. It never came.
She looked down at the bird pokemon yelling and glaring at its trainer. She winced when the peck attack hit her but just kept staring at the other pokemon. <........Your trainer doesn't know your attacks?> Nera stared at the guy and sweat-dropped. "Y-you don't know your own pokemon's attacks? How long have you been battling?" Medusa turned her head to stare at the other trainer. <He needs help. A lot of it.>
Nera rubbed the back of her neck as she looked him over. She hadn't been battling long ether, but this guy seemed worse off that her. "Do you want us to help you train?" Medusa could tell what Nera wanted to do and released the Natu. She backed away a little and began to sway as she stared at the bird pokemon. "We'll try to help as much as we can so you can get used to battling together. Medusa, Just use Leer." Medusa nodded and stared more intently at the bird pokemon. She could tell this battle would benefit both her and the other pokemon, also hopefully the hopeless trainer as well.

((Rofl, love their reaction XD)) <Tch, tell me about it>Natu replied to Ekans, rolling her eyes, forgetting for a moment that they were still battling. "Hey, I'm going to nickname you Tweety Bird if you don't stop bad-mouthing me,"Rovek threatened his Natu, though he still retained a slight sheepish smirk across his face. He didn't know what his Natu told Ekans, but he pretty much got the gist from her eye-roll. The two were pretty much like this, a love-hate relationship. <Try me!>Natu retorted, sticking out her tongue at him. If he did that, she'd peck him until he begged for mercy. Natu was surprised as the coils that had immobilized her loosened and she quickly flapped her wings to create a distance between her and Medusa. Natu shifted her feet a bit, slightly nervous and embarrassed that her trainer had to get help. <But we'll get stronger>,she thought with determination. "Er...not long. Oh about...um...1 minute ago,"Rovek answered Nera's question, letting out a short bark-like laugh at his naivety. Nera's suggestion caught him off-guard. "Um, you'd really help me?"he asked, looking quite surprised. Then a genuine grateful grin broke across his face. "Gee, thanks,"he said, his gray eyes shining. "Alright then. Natu, dodge the Leer and use Peck,"he said. Natu quickly shut her eyes to avoid the leer and quickly veered to the side of Medusa and aimed her beak at the snake again. Avoided Leer Used Peck

Nera smiled at Rovek as he asked if she would really help him. "Of course, it's the right thing to do. We'll help you guys so you can be better at fighting together. Medusa slithered across the grass, her eyes on the natu. <I have not known Nera long, but I do know she is very good. If she wasn't I wouldn't be with her. I'm sure we can help you and your trainer.>
She watched as the natu dodged her leer and attacked her with peck once again. She moved out of the way and quickly came up behind it. They said they were going to teach them. They had said nothing about going easy on them. Nera laughed when he threatened to call the natu tweety bird. "You know it could help if you give her a name. It will make you guys closer and better at working together. Also think hard about the attacks you do have. Use them in different ways."
Nera then turned her eyes on Medusa. The snake pokemon could feel her trainer's gaze and looked up. Nera's grin grew as she looked down at the ground at natu's feet. Medusa understood what Nera wanted her to do and turned back to the bird pokemon. She opened her mouth and shot poison needles at the ground where natu's feet were.

((Thanks for the name Jester ^^)) Natu was surprised at how quick Medusa could move. She felt the snake's presence behind her and instantly whipped around to face the snake Pokemon, not very eager to show her back to it. As Medusa commented on her trainer, Natu gave the snake a wry smile, <Let's just hope my trainer is competent enough to be almost as good as yours>"A name huh?"Rovek thought, racking his brain. "Mm...Chick?"he suggested, thinking that since those are a nickname for girls. And Natu was a bird. <What?>Natu said, making an expression like this: -___- "Not good huh?"Rovek said with a slight chuckle. <You think?>Natu replied with an exasperated shake of her head. Why was her trainer so dense sometimes? "Hm...how about..Lirea,"Rovek suggested, liking how the name sounded. He just hoped Natu didn't have any objections. Natu actually grinned in response. "So you like?"Rovek confirmed, also grinning. "Awsome, I dub thee Lirea from now on!"he announced. Lirea let out a crow of happiness, glad she wasn't dubbed "Tweety Bird". She let out a yelp of surprise as stingers shot at the base of her feet and she jumped away before any could hit her. "Combination..different tactics,"Rovek muttered, remembering what Nera had said. He had noticed Nera would use eye-signals for her Ekans. "Alright Lirea, use Peck again!"But he let his eyes wander from the Ekan's head to the tail. Lirea got the message and quickly drove forward, feinting a jab at Medusa's head and aimed for the tail. i110.photobucket.com/albums/n103/emuritto/cheypok/177.png[/img[Poison Sting missed Used Peck

Nera watched as Rovek tried to name the natu. His first idea was rejected, Nera couldn't blame the bird pokemon why it didn't want to be named that. Who in their right mind would want to be called chick. His second idea was approved. Nera liked the name as well. Lirea had a nice ring to it.
Medusa was glad the natu was finally given a name. Now the two of them would become closer. She watched the natu to see how it would attack. She readied herself when she heard its trainer shout out an attack. She ducked to miss the peck to the head, not realizing her head was not the target. She hissed in pain at the peck made contact with her tail. She swung it hard to get the bird pokemon away from it.
Nera saw how Rovek was now copying her style. She kept her eyes on him as her smile grew. "Medusa, Wrap." Right after Medusa had swung her tail it snapped back to make a grab around the natu.

Lirea felt satisfied as her beak dug into the tail, glad that the feint was successful. She saw Medusa's tail whip at her and she quickly hopped out of the way before it could smack her. Suddenly, the tail lashed out and Lirea was stuck in Medusa's coils again. And, once again, the squeezing pressure made the Natu let out a choking call, trying to struggle free. "Aw, not the Wrap again..."Rovek whined, his face pouting as his brows furrowed in a slight frown, thinking of what to do next. Not much really. "Lirea, use another Leer attack!"he suggested. Lirea obeyed and glared at the Ekans, her eyes flashing with an intimidating red glint. Hopefully the Ekans would be startled enough to let her go. Hit by Wrap Used Leer

Medusa was able to wrap herself around the natu. She ignored the leer as it hit her. She continued to squeeze as she heard Rovek. She turned his eyes to him for a moment before looking at Nera. Their eyes met and Nera knew that Medusa wanted to end the fight. There was a glint in her eyes that passed on to Nera. A smirk replaced her grin as she looked up at Rovek. She now had the same glint in her eyes that Medusa had. "Time to finish this. Medusa, Bite." As she shouted out the attack she flicked her wrist upward. Medusa turned her eyes to the natu and grinned. She then snapped her tail so that the natu was thrown upward. As she did she curled herself up slightly before launching herself upward toward the natu with her jaws open wide.

Rovek let out a dissapointed, somewhat casual sigh as the Leer had no effect on the Ekans. I guess they're just too stronghe conceded. He probably shouldn't have fought a trainer so early without any experience first. He noted the smirk on Nera's face and his heart sank a little. Oh man, now what?he thought with dread. Lirea could feel her strength draining away as the Ekan's strong tail immobilized. When she heard the command from the Ekan's trainer to bite, she knew this was it. She felt the teeth sink into her body, feeling pain as the razor sharp teeth dug into her flesh before blackness dropped onto her. Hit by BiteLirea has fainted

Medusa pulled her jaws away from the natu and looked over it. Her last attack had made it faint. She could feel instinct telling her to eat the bird pokemon but fought against it. She looked up as she heard Nera walk over to her. Nera knelt down and gently picked up Lirea. She looked over the bird pokemon to see if she had any serious injuries. She ran her hand through its feathers and didn't spot anything.
She walked up to Rovek and held Lirea up for him to take. "She's not too hurt. She just needs to rest then she'll be fine." Medusa slithered over and nudged Nera's leg. Nera looked down and saw the snake pokemon gesture at the natu then her pokeballs. Nera smiled and nodded at Medusa before turning back to Rovek. "If you want I can teach you what I know about pokemon." Nera thought of the best way to teach him. She would probable want to show him her pokemon as well. Nera then thought of the egg in her bag. It would be a good idea to show him it as well.

Rovek was slightly pounting, feeling the disappointment of losing a battle seep into his emotions. Not a great feeling. But he'll get over it. It wasn't as if he lost too badly and got beaten down by some loser Trainer. No, he had a good battle with a great trainer.
Rovek accepted his Natu back, cradling Lirea gently in his arms, looking down with some concern in his gray eyes. Luckily, as Nera had said, Lirea didn't seem to be too hurt. He took out Lirea's Pokeball and pointed it at her. A red glow eminated from the ball and enveloped the Natu, sending her back into the ball. She'd be safe in there. He stuffed the Pokeball back into his leather jacket pocket.
When Nera suggested to teach him a few pointers about Pokemon, Rovek's cocky grin returned to his face and a mischevious light glinted in his gray eyes. "So..are you saying it's a date?"he asked jokingly, though he was quite grateful that Nera would have patience to teach him. A lot of patience.

Nera tilted her head when Rovek asked if it was a date. She guessed it was the appropriate word for for it. I think She wasn't all the way sure but it was close enough. Poor Nera didn't realize what Rovek really meant, but Medusa did. She would have to keep an eye on the boy and make sure he behaved himself.
Nera walked over to the tree Rovek had been sitting under when she had first challenged him. She set her bag to the side gently making sure not to jostle the egg inside. Medusa slithered over and wrapped herself carefully around the bad and egg. "We should start at the beginning. How much do you know?" Nera waited for him to come sit next to her. She wondered how well she would be able to teach him.
