Oh right, Raff. He heard that name a lot these days, even though he met the guy once at a bar. Face was semi-blurred in his head, thinking about it. He could've sworn that he saw Raff at the Thanksgiving event, but he couldn't quite be sure about that one. It all got foggy after a while, but hey, it made sense for the Bellsprout's case. Sometimes having a losing streak was depressing; he sure had one when he started out as a trainer.
"Heh, I wouldn't worry about it too much. I lost all of the time when I just started out." If only his Vulpix could speak, just imagine the stories that could have been told. Thank goodness blabbermouth was in the ball, otherwise he'd go to obnoxious mode at the sight of Maria. Both trainers were nervous about the battle, even though Hibiki had the advantage stat wise.
<That's...so cool.> Donaldo didn't go 'nooo', he went 'yaaaaa' as he stared at the Bellsprout in awe. Assassins were awesome, even though he was the one being targetted. He coughed from the poison, feeling really sick until the Vine Whip lashed out at him, making him faint from the move. Seeing Donaldo on the ground, completely KO'd, Susumu could only grin as he returned the dead looking mouse for a long and unconscious nap.
"Your Bellsprout is awesome, haha. He'll evolve in no time." It looked like it could evolve soon, but it was hard to say. Some Pokemon simply didn't want to evolve. He'd have to evolve his Weepinbell soon though, since he really was excited to have a Victreebel on his team. Shit was so cash.
Donaldo Level 18.5|Male Fainted, +1 Minun, Drifloon, Bellsprout!

She had won! She had won against the Boss! First a win against Raff and now this win! She had to be on some sort of winning streak or something. Hopefully it would last at least until her second gym battle and she would put herself even further ahead.
"He's cute as a bellsprout, but he's already told me he wants to be a Victreebell someday so I'm not going to take that away from him. I'll be honest too, I'm surprised we won." Her confidence had gotten higher but it still fluxed between high and low a lot of the time. <You need to have more faith in me, I lost once but I won't do it again. Assassins can't afford to make mistakes.> [/style] |

Maria did have some skill after all! Though he already knew that, it meant something to have beaten double battle duo like Plusle and Minun that were simply meant for each other. He didn't invest much in the pair since they were rather new when it came to competitive battling, but still, Maria did impress him with her main team. She was better than most trainers he battled, which happened to be complete newbies or trainers that were completely better than he was. It was usually one or the other, though he was happy enough with his luck.
"Nah, don't be surprised. You're skilled, just keep going at it." He said to try and encourage her a little more, walking up to her with a rewarding smile on his face. Well, he wasn't the overly friendly type to suddenly give pats on the back, but he figured that was enough. He was still not very used to breaking his personal space bubble, but he was starting to get over it with the way most of his friends tended to be.
"Think you're ready for the gym yet? Who are you up against, Paris?" He figured it wasn't Adrian, since she seemed way too prepared to go after the Ile Electrique Gym Leader. Now Paris was intense, she'd have to be careful about that one. "Yeah, she has Pokemon that go nuts with confusion and attraction. I think two of them were female, so your Bellsprout might be in trouble there." He frowned when he recalled his own battle, regretting sending out the males to handle the females with attract. Now that was a disaster. Maybe he could help her out a little, give her some help before she gave it a shot. Reaching into his bag, he fiddled around with some of the things he had hiding inside until he found two Lum Berries from his giant berry stash. "You really should give these to your Pokemon before the battle, it'll save you in the long run. Trust me on this one." Two of them should've been enough, right? He handed the berries to Maria, hoping she'd accept his help.
Lum Berry x 2 given~ Take it bitch

Taking in every word her mentor said and nodding at the name Paris. "Yeah, she's the next gym leader I have to beat... I've been holding off until I have a little more training done though. Zuzu has evolved fully now, all the way to a Crobat..." She thought about her favorite Pokemon on her team, not that she would ever admit it to others because it would be bad form. He was a shiny Crobat and a silly Pokemon but he'd stick with her through and through.
Her hands took the green berries. They were a pretty green and if they would help her beat Paris she was all for it. "I appreciate this, it'll be a lot of help... I also think that I'm going to try a mission, finally. here's hoping I don't fall on my face!" [/style] |

Alrighty then, so he was right about her fighting Paris. He figured that she was getting closer to Paris's level, just by looking at the status of her own Pokemon. Donaldo and Ross had to be a bit weaker than her own, and if Maria managed to beat the crap out of those guys, then she would have a chance to defeat Paris with a little more training. "Zuzu's a Crobat already...? Wow." He could've sworn the last time he saw that thing; it was just a Zubat at the Cresselia Cup. She was training fast.
He was glad that she accepted the Lum Berries, glad he could give her a hand as he zipped his bag back up so no one could pick pocket him. Just a self-conscious thing. Or if he like, dropped something. That would be a disaster. "Good luck, I don't think you'll have trouble." He grinned at her, having enough confidence in her whether she succeeded or failed.
"They actually revamped the missions recently. Kind of interesting. I'm gonna have to try one of the harder ones soon." He could still feel his poor wallet crying at the amount of pocket change he had to donate to them. Those greedy bastards, paying him then making him give the money back. So terribu.

Her wallet was indeed hurting from that. She needed to start making some more cash, and soon. Otherwise she'd be absolutely bankrupt. Then there was the 10K mission that she would have to do. The reward being some sort of fish thing. Ew, she'd take the points towards upping her rank instead.
"Zuzu, is a shiny Crobat now. The little guy is the strongest one on my team." She pulled out a Pokeball and released the giant bat Pokemon to give him a chance to say a quick hello. <Shamuuuuuu!> The bat almost mobbed the blonde, trying to give him and awkward wing hug thing.

Susumu blinked and nodded as he understood what she meant by the donation missions. TD really did need the money though, especially since it helped to actually pay its members. It was all assuming that their members were making profit from whatever they were doing, so this worked out. "Yeah, I've done those donation ones too." He mused as he thought about what she meant by 'a real mission', wondering when he was going to try one of those. "I've been eyeing those. I haven't even given them a shot yet." Most of his missions had been from special events that he ended up participating in, and some other gestures that ended up impressing Blaze.
Oh well, no need to dwell so much on that. He perked up when she mentioned Zuzu, recalling the Pokemon and realizing what she was gonna do with that Pokeball. A shiny Crobat, huh? He hardly got a look at the evolved creature when he was suddenly knocked down by the wing hug thing that he could return with a laugh. "Wow, the pink really looks good on you." He laughed with amusement as he sat himself upright, pushing against Zuzu a little to get himself more comfortable.
Maria really was getting better at training, especially when this big guy used to fit in her bag. "So he's your strongest?" He believed it; the Pokemon looked a lot more impressive than her Bellsprout and Drifloon. "You've done a good job training him, have you battled a lot of different trainers?" He asked curiously as he patted Zuzu affectionately on the head.

Sometimes the little guy forgot that he wasn't so little anymore. He'd evolved from one stage to another rather quickly so he hadn't had much time to adjust. She'd been trying to train her Pokemon by fighting people with different styles but usually she ended up with people that had the same ideals.
"I've fought a few different people. Mostly you and Raff though. He's always up for a battle and you're, you're my boss." Raff was always up for a battle with her, no matter when and no matter where. It was really silly when she thought about it. But they were rivals after all.

Susumu listened with a curious stare, wondering if Raff was any good at battling. Probably, if he was training against Maria so often. They were probably around the same team levels, though he had no way to be sure about that. "Ah, I see. I've been battling with a lot of new trainers lately. Trying to help them out, I guess." He chuckled at the amount of new faces he met recently, having a hard time keeping track of them all. He felt like he was doing a good deed though, by doing that.
He was still stuck on the ground with Zuzu on his lap, and he wasn't about to be pinned down here forever. Making an attempt to hold the bright pink Crobat as he stood back up, he gave Maria an amused smile. "I'd try battling Blitz or Zane if I were you. They're...different." That and he wanted to see if she thought anything weird about them. For the longest time, these quiet and mad looking trainers had been giving him the oddest vibes.
TD shouldn't have to be some kind of dark, evil gang. He didn't join because of that. Maybe if more TD members practiced against each other though, they'd be a more tight knit group. "Eleanor might be too strong though..." Or too inactive. Cough. But she was a trainer for quite a while, from what he recalled. She'd probably be out of Maria's league by now. Oh well, that was the most advice he could give her.
"Here's your Crobat back." He grinned, passing Zuzu over as he figured it was time to leave. There were more places to go, and if Maria ever needed a hand, well, she had his number. Not that he really had plans or anything after this, but he figured she was busy. Especially if she was on some kind of training spree to prepare for her battle with Paris.
