Tyro had rented out a room, once again, for training purposes. He needed Lan and Haru to get some extra experience, no matter what. Though this time, he was willing to just use the Fire-type. His Starter Pokémon was the one that needed all the training right now. So, he stood in the battle room, waiting with his Charmander at his side. He was hoping somebody wouldn't take very long to show up...Lan was ready to fight, and so was Tyro. ::Charmander:: Waiting for battle

Nicholas strode into the room, he had heard there was a man waiting in there with a Charmander, Nicholas hadn’t fought one of those yet and he was curious about how the man would handle the Fiery Lizard. He didn’t waste time knocking, he went in, a face that showed determination and pulled a Pokéball off his belt and threw it into the air, not wasting time “I choose you Torchic! Start the fight first with a Night Slash! In a bright flash of white the small fiery bird that was Nicholas’ starter hit the ground. Her ball falling into Nicholas’ hand, she quickly stretched her wings and charged.
As she charged her wings became dyed a deep purple color, imbued with the power of darkness she quickly struck out at the Charmander, not wasting time as Nicholas had wanted. Nicholas kept his eyes focused on the man and his Charmander, to see what they would do in response to the sudden attack from Torchic. If they were as good as he assumed they’d counter, but not all trainers thought alike, not even if they had similar teams, so he was excited to see what he would do.
- Nicholas chooses Torchic
- Torchic uses Night Slash on Charmander

Tyro and Lan looked over as the door opened up and a young man appeared. He didn't even stop to talk or even let him have a chance to accept the battle first. Nick had just released his Pokémon and sent it on the attack. Well, they weren't slow weaklings, that was for sure. And Tyro was going to show that. But...on second thought, he needed Lan to have his own experience in battling. So, he'd wait and see what his Charmander was going to do first. Luckily for him, Lan was already on top of things. The Charmander saw the Torchic charging at him and tried to dodge the attack by jumping to the side. He was successful in his evasion and landed on his feet a couple yards away from the other Fire-type. He didn't hesitate to attack his opponent back. However, since he was still inexperienced, he still had yet to learn the ways of type disadvantages. He opened his mouth and let out a barrage of small fireballs towards Torchic, trying to hit the Chick Pokémon with an Ember attack. Tyro sighed at the sight of Lan's choice of tactics. He still had a lot to teach him, that was for sure. Well, he'd let his Pokémon fight the way he wants to fight, and see if he could learn his lesson on his own. This was sure to be an interesting fight, however. A Charmander against a Torchic. This should be fun. ::Charmander:: Dodged Night Slash! Used Ember on Torchic! [Dodges: 1]

Torchic, quickly turned, still using Night Slash, and charged, running straight through the small flack of fire that the Charmander was shooting at her. Taking a small amount of damage since they were the same type the move wasn’t effective. She continued to just charge straight through the fire, until she either got through and hit the Charmander with her Night Slash or would be sent flying back or otherwise stopped.
Once one or the other had happened Nicholas quickly said “Torchic, use Growl on the Charmander!” Torchic would then let a loud growl out, its effectiveness raised from it bouncing off the walls of the room they were in, even though it were quite large in itself.

As Lan shot his Ember attack at the Chick Pokémon, he thought for sure that his attack would stop her in her tracks. But when she powered through it, she caught Lan by surprise. The next thing he knew, the Torchic slashed at him, clawing at his chest. <AGH!> he cried out in pain, being sent sliding backwards across the ground. He was lucky the blow hadn't been critical. That would have been bad. He was quickly able to get back to his feet. So apparently, his Ember attack wouldn't work out very well in this situation. So, he had to come up with a new way of beating his opponent. If Ember didn't work, that left him with his other three moves. And he had a feeling that he knew exactly what he was going to do next. But it had to wait until after the Torchic was done with her Growl attack. The menacing Growl caused him to stop and falter for a moment. But, he quickly shook his head and dashed at the Torchic. As he ran at the other Fire-type, he tried to bring down his claws at the Torchic, trying to rake her body with his Scratch attack. He didn't plan on losing another battle. He had been defeated previously by a Spheal...granted that he had been weakened before that. He wasn't going to let his opponent get the better of him. Letting out an aggravated Growl of annoyance at the obvious strength of the Torchic, he continued his attack. <If that's all the strength you've got, then you've got a long way to go before you're ready to win!> he called out furiously as he brought his Scratch down at her. Hit by Growl and Night Slash Used Growl and Scratch! [ATK: -1]

Nicholas was quick to realize what the Charmander was doing, and he knew that the growl would hit, but he could possibly make it so that the Charmander took damage, more than his weak scratch could deal. Nicholas then said “Torchic charge at him and use Night Slash! If thinks he can get away with weak moves like that then we’ll show him he’s wrong!” Torchic then nodded, trusting in his judgement, she stretched her wings out and ran towards the Charmander. Her normally yellow wings became died in purple and she struck out at the Charmander, if they collided both Pokémon would be hit, but the Charmander would take more than Torchic. Torchic would then let out another loud growl, that reverberated in the room after their little clash or after the dodge if the Charmander decided to dodge.
- Torchic is affected by Growl, minus one to attack.

Lan didn't back down. He was never one to back away from a challenge. And when the Torchic decided to charge at him head-on, he took it as a challenge to him to see which of their attacks were stronger. And Lan was more than happy to oblige with this. He brought his claws down against the Torchic...only to be overpowered after a second. With a loud yelp of pain, the Charmander was slashed across his body by the Torchic's Night Slash. He was knocked flat on his back at the Torchic's feet, groaning in pain from the attack. That attack had done a lot more damage than before.... In fact, it had done such a large amount of damage to him that he wasn't able to do anything about it. He could do nothing but mutter a pained Growl out of his throat, at around the same time as the Torchic. Other than that, however, he laid on the ground, face-up on his back at the Torchic's feet, unable to get around to another attack. Hit by Night Slash! Critical hit! Used Growl! On his back at Torchic's feet, unable to make another move [ATK: -2, Dodges: 1]

The Growl was so weak that it was drained out by Nicholas’ next order “Torchic, quick! Whilst its unable to get up, use scratch attack on the Charmander!” Torchic nodded, still quite strong, only having taken a small amount of damage from the preivious encounter. Torchic jumped up into the air and began to work her little legs as fast as she can. If the Charmander were to stay in its spot, it would get a gravity powered scratch attack from the Torchic.
- Torchic takes little damage from the Scratch due to her Night Slash overwhelming Charmander (barely normal damage taken).
- Torchic is unaffected by Growl.
- Torchic uses Scratch.

Lan looked up at the Torchic, and saw her lift her foot up. He gulped and braced himself for the pain. He felt the Torchic's foot claw across his body, and he let out a loud roar of pain. He just layed there on his back, with the Torchic's feet on his stomach. He needed to blast her away. That was the one thought on the Charmander's mind. Unfortunately, he was panicking and not quite thinking everything through. The first thing he did was let out a loud Growl, one with much more effort put into it than the last one. Afterwards, he ended up attempting to blast the Torchic away with an Ember attack, blasting another barrage of mini-fireballs at her. It may not do much damage on its own, but he hoped that the force of the attack would be strong enough to knock her away. ::Charmander:: Hit by Scratch! Used Growl!

Torchic, barely affected by the Ember, continued to scratch at the Charmander, though she was hit by its loud growl and was scared a bit, she continued, though more wary of the Charmanders potential. She continued to scratch at it over and over again, focusing on its body still, she then looked at the Charmander, right in the face and let out a loud growl as she continued to scratch at it. Nicholas watched, getting excited that he might win his first trainer battle “Good job Torchic, keep going, you can do it, don’t let up. If you win we’ll show that we are not to be trifled with! Keep it up!” Torchic, encouraged by what he said continued to attack.

Lan's Ember was completely inneffective. Or at least, that's how it appeared to him. He continued to get slashed by the Torchic's Scratching, helplessly crying out in pain with each swipe of her talons. He met Torchic's gaze and when she Growled at him, he cowered down a bit more, trembling slightly. He just wasn't sure if he stood a chance anymore. Tyro couldn't stand watching his Charmander get so helplessly pummeled anymore. He decided that just one command couldn't hurt him much. "Alright, Lan, time for me to give you some help." he called out. "Alright Lan, use Growl and then Crunch on that Torchic's leg!" Hearing his Trainer's voice was reassuring to him. He glared up at his opponent and tried to let out a loud, menacing Growl through his jaws, despite the pain he was going through. Afterwards, he tried to clamp his jaws firmly onto the Torchic's leg as it was brought down upon his skin. He hoped to Crunch the Torchic's foot and stop her Scratch attacks, like his Trainer had commanded. With any luck, it might even lower her defenses.... Helplessly Scratched by Torchic! Hit by Growl! Used Growl! Used Crunch on Torchic's leg! [ATK: -3, Dodges: 1]

Torchic, suddenly hit by another Growl was buffeted a bit, losing some of its attacking power, and then nearly stopped when the Charmander bit down onto her leg, she let a scream of pain out and Nicholas almost wanted to surrender due to seeing his small Pokémon in pain, but he decided that wouldn’t be the best choice, he instead said “Torchic keep scratching with your free leg and use Growl again! Put your emotions into this attack and keep it up! It can’t hold out much longer, it has taken at least double the damage that you have!”
Torchic showed its understanding by continuing to scratch away at the Charmander, and then bellowed out an emotionally strengthened Growl right in the Charmanders face, with any luck just the sheer sight of this would make the other trainer surrender and recall his Charmander so that the brutal beating of the small lizard would cease.
- Torchic is hit by Growl, minus one to attack, and Crunch the combination is quite effective.
- Torchic uses Growl.
- Torchic continues to Scratch.

Lan smirked slightly when he realized that his Crunch had gotten the Torchic to stop her attack. At least, temporarily. The next thing he knew, the Torchic was continuing to Scratch at him again. Letting out another cry of pain, he tried to throw the Torchic off. And to do that, he twisted her leg and tried to slam the Torchic onto the ground beside him. If that was successful, he would try to roll on top of the Ember and pin her wings to the ground. This was definitely an interesting battle. Possibly one-sided up to this point with Lan fighting on his own, but he didn't care. He was having fun. The Charmander tried to pin the Torchic's small wings to the ground and bellow a loud Growl at her face. If this was all successful, then she would try to blast an Ember down at her face while he had her pinned. Unfortunately for him, he would leave his stomach open to an attack from her legs. But, it was a lesson that he would have to learn the hard way. Hit by Growl and Scratch! Tried to throw Torchic to the ground and pin her down! If successful, tries to blast Ember at Torchic's face!

Torchic was easily thrown to the ground and pinned because she was caught by her leg, she blinked a bit as he let a bellowing growl right into her face, which she responded with <Ewwww, your breathe stinks!> She then let out a growl of her own, finishing just before he let a burst of embers out, hitting her with all of them but still doing next to no damage. Torchic then began scratch at the Charmander’s stomach and eventually attempted to push him off.
If she succeeded in pushing the Charmander off, she would run a few meters back to try and make some space for her to think. She would also shake her whole body quickly to get the soot and ashes off her feathered body from the Charmander’s ember attacks, after all she was the princess of Nicholas’s team, and she had to always look her best.

As Lan's Growl was met with an insult, he was taken aback. <Wh-what...?> he muttered. The insult itself didn't bother him, but the fact that she had said such a thing caught him by surprise. Well, he wouldn't let it bother him. He growled a bit and tried to continue his attack. But before he could, he felt a sharp pain on his stomach. Torchic was clawing at his stomach with her talons, causing him to grimace in pain and let out a loud yelp. Soon enough, he felt the Torchic press her feet against his stomach and push hard on him. Lan was thrown off of his opponent and onto his back again, tail flame starting to dim. The battle was probably coming to an end sometime shortly.... But Lan wouldn't let himself lose so easily. He got back to his feet and let out his own menacing Growl. The next thing he wanted to do was sink his teeth into those feathers. He rushed forward as fast as his legs would carry him. He tried to jump at her and chomp down on her with Crunch as hard as he could. ::Charmander:: Hit by Growl and Scratch! Kicked off of Torchic! Used Growl and Crunch on Torchic!

Torchic, when she heard the Charmanders growl, let her own growl out in response as she heard her next order from Nicholas “Torchic, use Night Slash again, this time, finish it.” She knew what she had to do, she lifted her wings, and let them become imbued with the power of darkness turning them a bright purple. She was putting all of her effort into this last attack, it would decide the outcome, she then charged forward, if the Charmander continued its attack it would succeed but so would Torchic, and the one who wanted it more would win the battle, and Torchic wanted to win the fight, badly.

Lan head the Torchic's Growl and held back slightly with his Crunch attack. As a result, he managed to successfully chomp down onto the Torchic's body...but at the same time, he got slashed across the chest by the Torchic's Night Slash attack. Letting out one loud cry of pain, he dropped to the ground once more, falling onto his back, groaning in pain just like before. He tried to get back up again, and was slowly able to force himself back to his feet, though his legs were very shaky. <I...I won't lose...so easily...!> he growled, letting out another attempted Growl. He was definitely standing on his last legs at this point. He tried to run forward as fast as his weakened legs could carry him. He didn't have the strength for another Crunch attack, so he tried something simple. A Scratch attack aided by the force of gravity. Hit by Night Slash! Used Growl and Scratch on Torchic! Very weak [ATK: -6, Dodges: 1]

Torchic heard its growl, but wasn’t intimidated or affected by it since it was extremely weak. Torchic then saw the Charmander run at her, to which she simply side stepped and dodged away from, she then ran at the Charmander, her wings dyed purple again with another night slash, this one aimed right at the center of the small fire-type’s back. She ran straight and true, not making a single sound as she approached. Nicholas then looked at the man and said “You might want to surrender, your Charmander could get very badly hurt at this point. Since it knows Crunch I’d assume it’s a higher level than my Torchic, but that doesn’t matter if it’s a fool.” Nicholas then watched the mans reaction and the two Pokémon.
- Torchic is unaffected by Growl.
- Torchic dodges Scratch.

Tyro heard Nick's words and spared only a glance at him. "Lan's just inexperienced." he said. "He was born with that move, and I let him fight this battle on his own so that he can gain some real battle experience. He's not a fool. And I don't take kindly to people insulting my Pokémon." He looked back to the battle and continued to watch. Though he didn't really like this Nick guy too much, he knew he had a point. Lan was at his limit. He didn't appear to be quite ready to fight a human Trainer on his own just yet. He had made several mistakes that could have been easily prevented...just something to work on, he supposed. "...I'll let Lan fight until HE'S ready to surrender. This battle is his. Not mine."Meanwhile, Lan's Crunch attack mised the Torchic completely. He stumbled forward a bit and spun around to see the Chick Pokémon rushing at him with another Night Slash. If he got hit by that, he'd be done for! So instead, he tried to side-step the attack, barely able to dodge to the side. But that's not all. As he moved around the Torchic, he tried to sink his teeth into the Fire-type's back just as moved past him, trying to get a hold of her before she was able to get away. ::Charmander:: Dodged Night Slash!

Torchic gracefully jumped backwards several feet and got away from the Charmanders sudden Crunch attack. Torchic suddenly let another loud growl to lower the Charmanders pesky attack, hopefully the attack was nearly zero by now. Torchic then ran as fast as she could, in the Charmanders blind spot, and as quietly as she could. He wings then became a bright purple, but not so bright that the Charmander could see it. She charged forward with the Night Slash, hoping to finish it now, since she was too weak to continue the battle now, and if she did continue she might end up being the one fainting, not the foolish Charmander.
- Torchic dodged the Crunch.
- Torchic used Growl.
- Torchic used a full power Night Slash on Charmander.
