The circle of Limbo, for those who can't choose between left or right.
Adeleine was sipping tea in the coordinator's lounge, she had stopped by Verona once again today to partake in some confectioner's chocolate and tea. She brushed her hair away, crossing her legs before taking another sip of her tea. Raise pinky finger, sip, and then put the cup down; strictly formula for dear Adeleine. She had set up one of those signs that said "Looking for a battle" on the top of her table, alerting any nearby trainers of her desire to battle. Maybe she'd get some new faces and friends?

Suddenly Sam was walking by the table and he noticed a girl sipping tea, with a look that she wanted a battle.
He stopped by, looked at her, and decided to introduce himself.
<"Hi my name is Sam Robins. I was wondering if you would like to get into a battle right now against me?">[/size]
He had his Gligar on his shoulder and his Gligar jumped in front... Sam just laughed when the Gligar jumped right onto Adeleine's face and he quickly said
<"I guess my Gligar got excited when he heard that there'd be a battle. So I guess I'll just have to use him first. I guess I'll use the Gligar first.">[/size]
::Gligar:: Mood: Happy, ready to battle

Adeleine glanced up, this kid was who wanted to battle her? Granted, Adeleine was only fourteen; but she forgot she was that age sometimes. She pondered, a gligar? It looked overly eager, just like most pokemon she had seen so far on her journey. She had time to kill, so why not. She wiped her face and hands with her spare napkin, she returned the cup and disposed of her trash in a nearby trash can. "Mister Robins, is it? Adeleine Vivalis, coordinator. I...ack!" She was calm and composed as usual, but the gligar decided her face was a stool as it smacked her and latched onto her face. She patted it, managing to wiggle free. She smiled, pretending she wasn't phased. "Gligar? Well, then..." She tapped her pokeball, Malacoda managed to pop out. The poliwag looked around, not sure what was going on. Adeleine knelt down to pat it on the head. "We're going to battle these nice people." Malacoda looked around, peeking towards the gligar. She nodded, type advantage. Adeleine didn't waste any time starting the fight."Malacoda, bubble!" The poliwag complied, unleashing a rapid bubble attack that would surely do some good damage! ::Poliwag:: Mood: Happy Malacoda uses Bubble on Gligar!

Sam saw the bubble attacks coming his way so he quickly gestured to his Gligar and called out an order to him immediately <"Use Sand Attack to intercept the bubbles.">. Gligar understood some of what Sam was saying, and he just managed to piece the rest together. The only reason why Sand Attack would be used when an attack was coming right after it was so that it would intercept it and leave the pokemon unharmed. He then decided to have his Gligar attack the pokemon and shouted out for the Gligar to use poison sting on it. <"Now shoot poison sting at the water pokemon. Come on, just keep shooting your poisons at him!. He quickly said to his Gligar who began to shoot poison stings from his claw at the water type. Sam thought to himself, <"Darn this is going to be one tough battle... He has a type advantage against me but hopefully I can beat him with strategic planning.">He stopped to see what the Poliwag would do next. ::Gligar:: Dodged the bubble with a sand attack. Then used poison sting on the water pokemon

Despite this being a trainer battle, Adeleine needed a coordinator mentality. She decided that it'd work here. With the needles coming towards her pokemon, she hadn't a moment to waste.
"Coco! Water Sport!" In a flash, Coco whipped up some water that splashed around, leftover from the popped bubbles. Using the terrain to her advantage, she managed to effectively neutralize the needles with one attack. Now, there was water in the air. Adeleine picked up on this.
"Bubble!" With a cheer, Malacoda let loose a stream of bubbles. They picked up on the water that was in the air, growing in size as they proceeded to streamline their way towards Gligar.
::Poliwag:: Mood: Determined Malacoda neutralized Poison Sting with Water Sport! Malacoda used Bubble! Current Effects: Water Absorb is in effect. Damp is in effect. Bubble may lower speed. Power of fire moves weakened.

The Gligar saw the water coming at it and he freaked out for a second, but Sam was willing to take a chance here and he quickly told his flying bat Pokémon. <"It's just water... Charge it with a Metal Claw and attack the Poliwag. It's okay, it's so small compared to you!">The Gligar picked up on Metal Claw and he quickly gestured to his trainer. "Are you crazy? Don't you know water attacks are super effective against me?" But he sighed and charged the Poliwag. His claws began to glow white while hew as getting hit by the Bubble attacks. With his momentum pushing him forward, they did not slow him down while he charged the water Pokémon. Hit by Bubble, super effective. But charging and going to use Metal Claw on this water Pokémon. Mood: Confused and a little disappointed at his trainer's orders. Seems Sam did not do his research.

The attack hit Malacoda straight on. Geez, that looked painful. She rolled backwards, chest gashed and slightly oozing with blood. Thankfully pokemon had a high tolerance for just about everything, otherwise this would be a troublesome experience for one such as Adeleine. She reached down, but Malacoda managed to right herself. Adeleine smiled, Malacoda had that composure that reminded her of her nanny. She remembered how she used to feed and take care of her, but now wasn't the time for thinking about the past!
"Bubble, once more!" The frog pokemon complied, unleashing another stream of bubbles to pelt the gligar with.

The Gligar was hit by another bubble attack which pushed him back further, but he was ready for the attack and again charged with his claws going for another Metal Claw.
Sam had not given him an order but he was eager to do this again as the first time was so effective. But he was noticeably slower now as he was hurting and the bubble had caused his speed to decrease. Sam looked on, a little worried but he allowed his Gligar to do his thing. He had impressed him so much so far in his young career so he was not going to question the Gligar now.
<"Come on Gligar, keep it up. You can do it.">[/b][/size] He had no idea if his Gligar understood what he was saying, but he hoped that after spending enough time with him the Gligar picked up on some of his encouraging remarks and tone...
The Gligar did pick up on the tone a little and smiled while it ran straight the Poliwag hoping to hit it again with a metal claw. But right before it used Metal Claw, it shot a sand attack right at the Poliwag to blind him so his accuracy falls, and his chance of dodging this attack goes down.

Malacoda didn't have a chance, the sand smacked her in the face and the claws dug into her once more. Thankfully she wasn't hit in a critical spot, but it still was damaging. This was clearly an even battle, but Malacoda thought she could pull through due to her type advantage. Adeleine felt her resolved, ordering her for another attack.
"Bubble!" Repetitive? Yes. Malacoda had a bit of a time aiming but tried to aim straight for Gligar and shot a stream of bubbles towards him.

Sam saw that his strategy was working and the Poliwag was getting deeply hurt, so he decided to have his Gligar against throw sand at the bubble dodging this attack, and then go in once more with a metal claw to hit the Poliwag very hard. He had a big disadvantage in type, and this Poliwag was much tougher than he anticipated so he needed to luck on his side, and a few dodges, in order to potentially pull this through.
He knew his Gligar could only dodge so many attacks, as this would be the second dodge but he was willing to take a chance especially if he could end it very soon. It was risky, and dangerous, but danger was his middle name... Not really but you get the point ^ _ ^.
He quickly yelled at his Gligar again... <"Okay, Sand Attack then Metal Claw once more! Lets get that attack boost and end this!">[/color]
The Gligar threw sand to cancel out the bubble as he was already weakened a decent amount by it and could not take anymore... And he geared up for one more Metal Claw.

Another dodge, here we go again. Malacoda was more prepared this time. She had to wait on Adeleine, however; as she directed her in battle. Adeleine was thankful that at least one of her Pokémon listened to her and her plans all of the time. "Malacoda, Water Sport!" The water spurted up from the leftover bubbles, the poor kid was making it too easy. Neutralizing the bubbles gave Malacoda enough water to coat herself with her Water Sport. Malacoda was slippery, completely slipping and sliding away from the gligar. Adeleine was happy, using the terrain and field to your advantage was a major part of being a coordinator. "Bubble! Single form!" Another Bubble attack. Instead of a tiny stream, Malacoda took her time to make one huge bubble to act as a prison on Gligar. Mood: Determined Malacoda dodged Metal Claw and used Bubble!

The Bubble hit Sam's Gligar and he quickly fell to the floor. Sam started to encourage him to get up one more time but he struggled to do so... He was getting up, but falling back down, then getting up, but again falling back down. He was too weak to fight up anymore and became somewhat of a sitting duck... Sam sighed for a second, then had a big smile on his face as he took out his pokeball to return his Gligar. <"You were incredible today. You had a big disadvantage and yet you still gave it your all and you put up a very good fight. I am so so proud of you. You deserve a very long rest... I can not believe how far you have come in such a short time. Gligar, you are the man!">[/color] He said while his Gligar was inside the pokeball. He quickly threw out another pokeball and from it came his Ledyba who was flying up in the air and coming straight at the Poliwag hoping to tackle it while it was wet and slippery. The plan was that since he was slippery, if he gets hit hard enough he might slip and fall into a wall or something to cause major damage to him and knock him out of the battle. ::Gligar:: Hit by Bubble and knocked out. +2 level up for your Poliwag, +1 level up for my Gligar

Adeleine was glad, she walked over to Malacoda nonchalantly. Malacoda jumped into her arms, nuzzling against her in gratitude. Adeleine placed her down, and walked back to her other spot. "That was great, Mister Robins; now shall we continue?" As she said that, the next Pokémon suddenly slipped out and immediately began attacking! Tackle was too sudden, smacking the poor frog across the arena, making her slip and slide; but thankfully stop near a nearby table. She got up, the entire battle was about to make her nearly collapse. Adeleine did what any smart trainer would do; switch. "Return!" With a call, Malacoda was recalled into her ball. Hopefully she wouldn't have to rely on Malacoda for later. She tapped another one of her pokeballs on the ground, and out came a jigglypuff. She posed dramatically, waving one of her arms around with sass. <"Like, oh my goodness! Adeleine, we get to, like, totally battle! Ohmygosh! This is our first time, like, since a few days ago! How have you been? I totally am loving that dress!"> Adeleine sighed, Cici was being her usual self; silly. She patted her on the head, pointing towards the ledyba. "We've got a battle to attend to, sweetie; now pound and sing." Ciriatto huffed, she wasn't used to taking orders. <"Guh! But, like, I'll get all dirty! I'll look like some floozy!"> Adeleine sighed, and patted her on the head once more. She was being uncooperative. "Dear, I'll buy you some new items from the coordinator shop right over there if you fight." She pointed, the new coordinator corner was so quaint and dainty. Ciriatto couldn't refuse. She ran to the ladyba, quite the cutie. <"You're, like, so totally fabulous! I'm going to so sing for you! Lalala~"> The mystical song of the jigglypuff wafted through the arena, nearly making Adeleine drowsy. Adeleine had the ability to block it out due to immunity, but it still made her sleepy. When Ciriatto was sure there was an opening, she unleashed a kick attack with Pound. <"You're, like, so gonna lose! Giggle!"> She said, being her usual and obnoxious self. Mood: Totally Fabulous Malacoda is recalled! Ciriatto uses Pound and Sing!Spirit Tip: Don't do this. When you switch, you can only make one attack. Please refer to Battle Guidelines F.

Sam's Ledyba was not ready for the little fluffy pokemon singing at it and it quickly was lulled to sleep. While it was out the Jigglypuff quickly hit it with a Pound Attack and it fell to the floor sleeping but also a little bruised after getting hit in the stomach with the pound.
Sam sighed for a second there and decided to recall his Ledyba. <"I will use you later on. Go and get your rest now...
And with that said he sent out his Rattata who was ready to battle. The Rattata quickly nodded at Sam and Sam told it to use Quick Attack at the Jigglypuff. He was going to knock the Fabulous out of her.
<"Rattata, quick attack on the Jigglypuff!">. The Rattata suddenly started running full speed at the Jigglypuff and all of a sudden it disappeared. When it reappeared it was right next to the fluffy pokemon with his head geared to knock it down and out with a very fast and very powerful quick attack.

The rattata blindsighted the poor pokemon, she rolled like a bowling ball down the arena. They were fighting dangerously close to the food stand, so Ciriatto managed to avoid ramming directly into the booth. She felt that one for sure. Ciriatto got up, huffing and puffing in annoyance.
<"Like, who dare attacks me!? I'm so fabulous! No one makes a fool out of Cici! No one! I will, like, totally beat your face in betch!"> Cici charged the pokemon in a fit of rage, brandishing her own personal Cicistyle betch slapping fest, her arm was balled up into a fist as she launched a Pound onto the Rattata.
Adeleine was slightly bemused, they were fighting without her ordering them. Oh well, Ciriatto would do fine; right? She seemed to handle herself well enough. Adeleine would have thrown in a Defense Curl for good measure, but she decided to silently watch the events unfurl.

Before the Jigglypuff could get the pound attack in, Rattata heard a command from his trainer to end this match right now...
Sam quickly told his Rattata:
<"Dodge the pound attack with your speed, then grab a hold of Jigglypuff's hand and bite down on it. Make her regret using that hand against you.">[/b].
Rattata was much faster than this fluffy critter, so he easily dodged her pound attack and then before she could pull her arm back in he decided to put his mouth on it and bite down. That would have definitely left a mark on the Jigglypuff...
The Rattata was annoyed with her Fabulous attitude and was going to give her something to whine about, and this bite to her hand was not going to be fetch by any standard. She was not ging to feel fabulous after this. She was going to be the betch after this attack.

That was one painful bite, Ciriatto was sent reeling. She yelped, flinging the stupid rat off of her stub of an arm. She waved it at him in anger.
<"Like, ow! That so hurt! You shouldn't be biting, like, totally rad women on their arms! We're so delicate!"> Adeleine took this time from the rant to shout an order. This was proving to be a difficult battle for her. That was one tough rattata.
"Ciriatto! Use Pound!" Ciriatto heard this, and with a huff brought her stubby arm into a fist to ram the poor Rattata with. She wouldn't be made a fool of in front of her trainer!

The Rattata was hit by this Pound attack but it was going to retaliate and use Tackle while the Jigglypuff was trying to pound him with her fist. The pound attack did not hurt him very much, it was kind of an electric jolt to make him tackle her even harder.
Sam looked on and encouraged his Rattata who was fighting this fight, and at least from his standpoint... winning.
<"Come on Rattata, you got this! Tackle her once more and make her pay!"> He yelled to his Rattata who was already gearing to tackle the Jigglypuff after getting punched.
He was really ticked off with her "rad" attitude as she reminded him too much of his past Rattata associates who also had this same attitude. He was annoyed and really just wanted to knock the Fabulous out of her. He ran and was aimed right at her hair curl to mess up her hair style. One that most likely took her hours to get done...
This Jigglypuff was really starting to tick him off... It gave him bad memories of his old life before he was Sam's pokemon and this made him even angrier.

Ciriatto was already weak from the powerful pokemon biting her, but this attack sent her rolling. She rolled like a ball until she smacked into the wall. Ow. She got up, slightly dizzy.
<"Like, no one makes Cici a fool!"> But suddenly, she stepped on a banana peel. This caused her to trip, and faint. Yes, she fainted herself. Adeleine sighed, there went one of her pokemon. At least she got a few good hits in. She returned Ciriatto.
"Good job, we'll practice more later." She sent out Malacoda again. The poliwag came out, taking center stage.
<"I'll try my best."> Adeleine motioned over to the pokemon, not really sure what to say.
"Bubble!" Malacoda couldn't take much more, but she launched one more Bubble in hopes that it would lower the speed of Rattata.

The Rattata ran full speed at Malacoda, he did not care too much about the bubble attacks as he wanted to take this pokemon out also. Sam did not tell him an order but he did it all by himself.
He was hit by the bubbles which slowed him down but he was still running at the Poliwag hoping to get a Quick Attack in on the pokemon to knock her out also. His speed was noticeably slower after the Bubbles hit her, but the Poliwag most likely was too hurt from it's initial battle to dodge this attack.
He ran full speed at the Poliwag hoping to take it out with a quick attack. Sam just watched on, he wouldn't have had Rattata take the hits... But his adrenaline drove him and he could not prevent that from occurring...
