Apollo made his way into the Trainer's Lounge entrance. He looked around and saw all of the Trainers standing around. He had previously stopped by to sign himself up for an open challenge in the Battle Room, hoping to find somebody around his level of experience to take on. He was a bit nervous, as there appeared to be quite a few experienced Trainers around...he just hoped that none of them ended up being the ones to accept his challenge. The only experience he'd had thus far was just a couple battles against Wild Pokémon...but maybe he'd be able to stand a chance if he used the right strategy and tactics? Not likely, but still, one could hope, right?
Standing on his shoulders, paws propped on top of Apollo's head, was the Buizel who was always travelling beside him, Jet. He was Apollo's first Pokémon, and although a bit on the weak side in terms of physical strength, he had proven that he had potential in battle. Hopefully, he'd be able to hold his own here. When the two of them made their way into the Battle Room, they began to wait around for their opponent to show up. Somebody else had already signed up to be his opponent...they just had to hope it wasn't anybody too strong.
"Alright, Jet, if we're going to start getting stronger, this is the best place to start, right?" Apollo muttered. He was starting to get nervous again. This might just be because he was just about to begin a real Trainer battle, the likes of which he'd never really had a chance to truly experience. But it shouldn't be much different than battling a wild Pokémon, he figured. Plus, even if they lost, the experience would make them stronger, and that's a good enough reason to go through with this. And so, the two of them waited around, Jet getting a feel for the Pokéballs in his bag. At this point in time, there were four occupied. Then there was Jet on his shoulder, making for a total of five Pokémon for this battle...unless they agreed to a one on one or two on two battle or something. Then that would be a bit troublesome.

Finneon walked into the Trainer’s Lounge slowly. Her Pokemon were out of her Pokeballs, BonBon on her shoulder and Snubby in her arms. BonBon was a Buneary she obtained from a giveaway and Snubby was the Snubbull she got at the Ranger Tent. She sat down in one of the seats, BonBon shifting to sit in her lap beside Snubby. The girl yawned slightly, realizing how tired she actually was.
She noticed a guy there, but she didn’t talk or look at him. ‘Just stay quiet and he might not bother me…’ she thought. Her fear of men still lingered in her mind as she looked down at the two Pokemon that were with her. She pulled out a brush and started brushing Snubbull and Buneary.

Apollo continued to look around and soon enough, he saw a girl walk in and sit down. She seemed to try to pretend like he wasn't there and just sat and started to groom her Pokémon. A Snubbull and a Buneary. Those were two interesting Pokémon. Well, he had no choice, really. Nobody around seemed too interested in a battle, so he decided to take the initiative. This girl might make for a good opponent. "What do you think, Jet? How about them?" He gestured slightly in Finneon's direction and Jet looked over at the three he was looking at. He gave a nod in response, and he figured that he knew who they were battling.
The boy made his way over to Finneon. "Um...excuse me?" he said, natural nervousness starting to crop up again. "Hi, uh, my name's...er...Apollo." he continued, trying to speak through his nervous tone. "I was...um...just wondering if...maybe you'd...I dunno...want to...battle with me?" He glanced up at Jet as he said this. The Buizel gave Finneon and her Pokémon a bright smile and raised his paw. <Hi there!> he chirped up at the two Pokémon rather happily. He made that look a lot easier than what Apollo could.

Finneon continued to brush her two Pokemon’s fur gently. She smiled at them. “You two are so cute. So adorable.” she muttered. BonBon and Snubby smiled. They loved the attention and enjoyed everything. It was something that they was happy to have in their lives. The two Pokemon wouldn’t hurt Fin or abandon her, like she had in the past. ‘I love them. They are like my children.’
The man came over and Finneon got nervous. She looked up, blinking slightly. “F-F-Finneon….C-Call me…F-Fin…” she stuttered. She was completely nervous now as the guy, Apollo, asked if they could battle. Fin looked at her Pokemon. They nodded softly, making Fin look up and nod as well. “S-Sure…” she said. Looking at the Pokemon on his shoulder, Fin smiled and lift a hand, waving at it. BonBon grinned.
“Hi! I’m BonBon!” she said.
Snubby blinked and looked away shyly. She was just like her coordinator. Shy and timid. “<H-Hello….I-I’m….umm…S-Snubby…..>’’

Apollo listened to Finneon talk with about as much difficulty as Apollo was having. Well, at least he knew that he wasn't the most nervous one in the room. That reassured him a little bit. Afterwards, he heard the girl speak up to him and tell him her name. "O-oh...w-well it's, uh...it's nice to meet you...um...Fin...." He was still stuttering slightly, but he was slowly getting used to the idea of starting up the conversation. But, it was still harder to do than just responding to somebody coming up to him. Then afterwards, she accepted his challenge, and he smiled a bit. "Great...um...I guess we should get started then...." Jet's smile continued as he saw the girl and her Pokémon respond to him. <Nice to meet you...I'm Jet. I hope we can have some fun with this battle...I haven't been in many, but I've come to have fun with battling....> But he figured he was starting to rant a little bit, so he decided to just shut his mouth so that they could either get a chance to respond, start battling, or both. ::Buizel:: Greeting BonBon and Snubby

Finneon nodded and stood up, walking a little bit away so the Pokemon will have room to battle. “S-Snubby, you go f-first…” she said as the Snubbull walked up. It was odd, having to battle but she would get through it. BonBon perched herself on Fin’s shoulder and watched the seen unfold. “W-Who wants to start the b-battle?” Fin asked gently as she looked away from the guy she was battling.
She was definitely nervous, but she would just have to get over it. It was time to see if she had what it takes to be a Pokemon coordinator. Finneon bit her lip a little as she waited for Apollo’s reply.
((OOC: I will post Snubby's stats in the next post.))

Apollo looked at the Snubbull and thought for a moment.... If there was one thing that was hammered into him while he had been working at his father's Gym, it was to memorize as many movesets of Pokémon as possible. Luckily, he was gifted with a good memory, and could remember a lot of the Common Pokémon around the world. Snubbull was one of the ones that stood out...mainly because of all the attacks it could learn in its early stages. Most particularly, the three Elemental Bite attacks. He couldn't let Jet nor Vance battle a Pokémon with an Electric move like that. So, his next thought was his other low-leveled Pokémon...but Lana was also a Flying type, so that wasn't a good idea either. In the end, he decided to go with a Pokémon he had yet to test out. "Alright, Franz, I'll leave this one up to you." he said, pulling out a Pokébal. He planned on using Jet in this battle...but not quite yet. He wanted to see how this battle went first, and see the next Pokémon that Finneon had to use. In response to Finneon's question, he thought for a moment before replying, "Well, you chose your Pokémon first, so I'll leave that up to you." He opened up the Pokéball, and a Meowth popped out of it, standing firm on the ground. This was her first battle with Apollo, and she was determined to show that she wasn't one to be underestimated.... Ready for battle

Finneon looked at Apollo and smiled softly. This was going to be fun. She waited for him to chose a Pokémon and tilted her head. Snubby did the same, as if they were synced in the brain. The Snubbull’s fur shined slightly, due to all the brushing of her fur. <“I-I can’t wait to….b-battle you….”> she said softly and nodded to Apollo. It was then he brought out Meowth. Fin’s eyes sparkled a little. She loved cute Pokémon like Meowth. “O-Ok, Snubby….l-let’s get r-ready…” Fin said softly. Snubby nodded. READY

The Meowth smirked at the Snubbull's words. <Well we'll see just how much you love it when you're at my feet.> she said with a sadistic grin. She smirked again and pulled out her claws, flexing them slightly. <I'm going to enjoy your pain. Quite a lot.> With that, and without even bothering to wait for orders, she charged forward at the Snubbull and tried to Scratch at Snubby, trying to claw as hard at the Snubbull's face as she could. Apollo watched Franz' sudden movement and wondered for a moment whether using her so soon was a bad idea. Maybe he should have simply waited until she got her sadistic cravings under control...well, he could only hope that Finneon didn't think that all of his Pokemon were like this. "Y-yeah, it's going to be a f-fun battle." he smiled again. "L-let's see which Pokemon is stronger f-for now...." ::Meowth:: Used Scratch on Snubby!

Snubby went wide eyed at what the Meowth had said. Did it not like her? <“Do you n-not like me for some reason?”> she asked a little. She didn’t like it when someone didn’t like her. It upset her. A lot. The Snubbull was then hit with a Scratch attack. Snubby yelped and pouted a little. <“Cat’s hate water….”> she mumbled as she attempted to use Ice Fang. Finneon blinked and gave a wide-eyed look as well. “Yeah….” she said, blinking still. Used Ice Fang on Franz!

Apollo watched on, still wondering if he should just call the Meowth back now and have somebody else fight. But, no, he needed to train Franz eventually...he just hoped that, if victorious, the Meowth wouldn't hurt the Fairy Pokémon too badly. Franz ducked down, as though ready for anything...but the site of the Ice Fang coming stopped her momentarily in her tracks. Unable to react in time (cat-like reflexes my tail), she felt Snubby's teeth sink into her fur and she shuddered at the cold that came off of the attack. The Ice Fang had, in reality, caused her to Flinch from the chill, and she was unable to move this turn. All she could do was desperately try to throw the Snubbull away, but even that proved to be a futile effort. ::Meowth:: Hit by Ice Fang! Flinched!

The Meowth cringed in fear at the sight of another attack just like that last one. As the Snubbull's teeth sank hard into her yet again, she let out a loud hiss of pain. But this one was also a mix of anger. She was sick of taking all of the blows. She pulled out her claws almost immediately after the blow had hit, and swiped them at the pink Fairy Pokémon's face as hard as she could with a firm Scratch attack. Franz wanted to hear Snubby's loud cry of pain...it would be like music to her ears. She grinned maliciously as she anticipated the sound she loved to hear so very much.... Apollo looked on at the battle. Until Franz started going too far, he'd let his Pokémon do all the battling. He looked up at Finneon and saw that she was looking back at him. He himself blushed slightly at the sight of her and quickly looked up into the air, not hesitating to lift an arm up to the back of his head and rub it nervously, a slight nervous smile playing across his features. ...Did I also happen to mention that Apollo was quite nervous in this situation? ::Meowth:: Hit by Charm and Fire Fang! Used Scratch on Snubby! [ATK: -2]

As the Snubbull's criy of pain met her ears, Franz grinned and evil grin. That scream of pain was music to her ears. And she was eager to hear more. But first, she looked over her shoulder at Jet, who was still standing at Apollo's heel. <You'd better be watching closely, runt.> she hissed at him. <That's exactly what's going to happen to you. One day, you'll be lying at my feet, in such great pain that you'll be begging me for mercy. But I'll never give it to you.> She let out a small cackle as Jet's eyes widened a bit and he took a hesitant step back in fear. He knew that she meant every word she said. She really would do that to him if he ever lost a battle to her. He even gulped a bit at the thought. Hopefully that day would never come.... At that point, however, it was Franz' turn to let out a loud hiss of pain. The Snubbull's Thunder Fang struck her hard and she stumbled backward, trying to shove the Fairy Pokémon away. Afterwards, she hissed in anger and charged forward again. This time, she jumped up and tried to ram her arms into the Snubbull's shoulders and throw her to the ground while sinking her teeth into Snubby's shoulder with her own Bite attack. ::Meowth:: Threatens Jet Hit by Tail Whip and Thunder Fang! Used Bite on Snubby! [DEF: -1, ATK: -2]

Franz scowled and twisted around on her heel when she realized that her teeth failed to sink into her opponent like she had been hoping. Well, this was her chance to get back at this Snubby. If she could just turn around and attack again, then-nope, not a chance. The Snubbull was already coming at her with another attack. She was still unable to dodge the attack. The Charm didn't help her much. As the Ice Fang attack hit her hard, she let out a loud hiss of pain before falling onto the ground. But that wasn't all. She began to ice over, unable to move. What was going on here, exactly? Apollo watched on, fascinated. Not at the harm done to his own Pokémon, but at the sheer fact that he had never truly seen a Freeze status before. He had seen all others when he worked at his father's Gym...but it was a Fire Gym, so he never got to see a Pokémon get frozen over before. Hit by Charm and Ice Fang! Was Frozen Solid! [ATK: -4]

The frozen Meowth had no choice but to be struck by the Fire-type move. She couldn't react as the ice was melted all around, while at the same time, she was getting hurt by the Fire Fang move itself. When the Cat Pokémon was free from the frost, she coughed a bit and spat out a bit of water, which had found its way into her mouth as she had been defrosting. She shivered slightly and glared up at the Snubbull. <You'll pay DEARLY for that....> she hissed angrily, completely ignoring everything the Fairy Pokémon said. Without hesitation, she leaped forward and tried to slash at the Normal-type's face with a strong Scratch attack. Apollo smiled over a bit at Fin, blushing slightly as they made eye contact. "O-oh, don't, uh...don't worry about it...it's, er...just a, um...part of the battle." Smooth, Polly. He just fixed his gaze back down onto the two Pokémon fighting. <...I just hope that Franz doesn't do anything too harsh to Snubby....> At his heels, Jet gently clutched onto Apollo's leg, watching Franz' anger-induced attacks with a bit of fear. He was definitely afraid of this Meowth, even though he WAS a bit stronger than her. ::Meowth:: Hit by Fire Fang! Defrosted! Used Scratch on Snubby!
