Abi walked purposely into the trainer's lounge, ready to take on another opponent. Regardless of whether she won of lost she needed to hone her battle skills and level up her Pokémon. If she wanted to move on to the city and challenge the next gym leader she had to be stronger than this.
Entering a room numbered eight she stood at one end of the battle field and released her first Pokémon. She would let her opponent choose the terms of the battle, she didn't mind how many Pokémon or what type of match it was. Her goldeen, Calico, splashed into the pool of water in front of her, glad this room had somewhere for her to swim and battle. She squirted some water at Abi affectionately and her trainer smiled as they waited for their opponent.

It had been almost a few months now since he had signed up for his task and he had yet to complete it. He was asked to beat ten trainers which had taken him forever. So far he had battled about six and unfortunately had been batting .500 against them. He had beaten about half but had also lost to about half which was a bit embarrassing for the pokemorph. He wanted his luck to turn around soon so he decided to camp around the trainer lounge to find new challengers, when he saw one standing by herself he immediately became interested and barged into the room before anyone else could enter. "Hello! You have a challenger?" He asked. It was unlike him to be so talkative but he wanted to make some sort of impression first so she would allow him to battle her and beat her. When he saw her Goldeen out, he was a bit intrigued to bring out a pokemon that he knew would not do well against the water type, but he had to train his pokemon to ignore type disadvantages and still win. He took out a pokeball and sent out his Growlithe, Cerberus to meet up with her pokemon. "The name is Diark. Yours?" He asked as Cerberus let out an intimidating growl against the Goldeen before the battle even started. "You can go first." He said to her after. ::Growlithe:: Name: Cerberus | Level: 8 | Gender: Male Ability: INTIMIDATE | FLASH FIRE Attack Set 1: Bite | Ember | Body Slam Attack Set 2: Roar | Howl Sent out.

Abi nodded and smiled to the young man who entered, gld to have an opponent. she hated waiting around for challengers, it made her feel ridiculous, so she immediately accepted when he came barging in. HE appeared quite eager then. "Abi, pleased to meet you" she replied confidently.
He released a growlithe which impressed Abi. She had always admired the canine pokemon, but she was curious as to why he chose to be at a type advantage. Well whatever, his loss. Smiling at her goldeen she said, "Alright Cal, let's start out with water sport and then get straight in with hydro pump!"
The young goldeen wriggled in the water, a little afraid of the fire dog now and spurted some around the arena to dampen the fire type's attacks. Next she took in a breath and belted out a hydro pump aimed straight for the growlithe.

Sure, he saw the mystic water around her neck which would give her a nice little boost but in terms of level and damage capacity he did not expect much. Maybe a water gun at the very best. That proved to be a bit of a downfall for Blitz as he heard the command of Hydro Pump and he immediately looked up to see the Goldeen in action. First it opened it's mouth to cover itself with water, which made him think that Abi was probably messing with him. Maybe she wanted to scare him, that little puny pokemon couldn't have known such a devastating attack. But soon, he saw it come. A large stream of water made its way to the Growlithe and splattered all over him, weakening him a good amount from just one attack. But since he did not faint, Blitz was assured that his pokemon had a higher level. "Nice move. Seems you taught it well, or just got fortunate." He said to Abi before he crossed his arms and considered his counter. What would he do against a pokemon that knew hydro pump? He had to think about it but finally realized that it wasn't too bad... "Use Howl, then Body Slam." He said to Cerberus who got to work as a loyal dog. He howled to boost his attack before he rushed forth and tried to slam bodies with the Goldeen. He knew he could not take another hydro pump, or could barely take one more so he had to make it count as much as he could right now. And the body slam was the best bet. Hopefully it would induce paralysis also, there was a 20% chance. ::Growlithe:: (+1 attack) Name: Cerberus | Level: 8 | Gender: Male Ability: INTIMIDATE | FLASH FIRE Attack Set 1: Bite | Ember | Body Slam Attack Set 2: Roar | Howl Hit by Hydro Pump (SE!).

Abi grinned, pleased by Diark's reaction. She knew that her goldeen would be considered a weak threat and that he would underestimate her, but Abi knew better. She nodded, "Thanks, a little bit of both I think," she said modestly. Though she liked to appear confident, arrogance was a horrible trait in her opinion.
When the growlithe was ordered to use howl and body slam she frowned, smiling. Well at least her opponent was smart enough not to attempt a fire move after Calico's water sport. She knew that the move would be ner impossible to dodge since the pool of water wasn't very large, but having the fire dog at such close range might work to her advantage. To use the attack he had to dive into the water at her fish pokemon so maybe.. She nodded.
Calico was hit by the body slam and forced further under the water, fortunately not paralysed. Abi called out to her the next moves and the goldeen obeyed as quickly as she could. Twisting around in her element she whipped her tail at the growlithe to lower his defence before firing off another hydro pump at close range.

The only thing that favored him was, his opponent called for Hydro Pump and not some other attack. The Hydro Pump was very powerful but not very accurate. Even in this close range, when Cerberus was caught off guard and unable to dodge such an attack... Blitz was fortunate of the move being not too accurate. Although Cerberus could not react quick enough to dodge it, the attack wasn't the most accurate so he did not really need to move out of the way. This time around, the move went around him and missed the Growlithe completely. That was one reason why it wasn't an attack that someone would advise to use more than once. It just wasn't accurate enough for that, especially when facing a pokemon of a higher level. And this gave Cerebrus and Blitz another chance to take advantage of the situation. "Bite!" Blitz said and Cerebrus opened his mouth and tried to chomp down on his target. That would sure help them! ::Growlithe:: (+1 attack) Name: Cerberus | Level: 8 | Gender: Male Ability: INTIMIDATE | FLASH FIRE Attack Set 1: Bite | Ember | Body Slam Attack Set 2: Roar | Howl Dodged Hydro Pump (SE!).

Abi frowned as the hydro pump missed, wondering if the tail whip had at least taken down the fire dog's defence. At least her goldeen still had the advantage in water. Abi thought for a moment before she decided what Calico's next move was.
The young goldeen turned quickly to find the growlithe upon her again, this time his sharp teeth had caught her and she struggled desperately to free herself. Whipping her tail at the fire dog she finally managed to escape. Swimming around the Cerberus as fast as she could she followed Abi's latest call and focused her psychic energy into a psybeam attack aimed at the swimming pup.

It made the pup much weaker than when he originally started the battle, but Blitz still had faith that he could pull through if he just gave it everything he had. The Psybeam came and struck the Growlithe, but luckily it did not do as much damage as a hydro pump would have. And luckily the two tail whips did not have much of an impact on the Growlithe since it used psybeam, a special attack. This gave Blitz another turn, and he tried to make the most of that by ending the battle right there. "Howl, then Body Slam once more." He said as he looked up at Abi and gave her a blank stare. He pictured the battle ending now, and did not see the Goldeen surviving this attack also. "That Goldeen is tough. But it is good to battle in disadvantaged situations." He mused, speaking more to himself than to Abi. Although it was loud enough for Abi to hear also. In case she wanted to respond or something... ::Growlithe:: (+2 attack) (-2 defense) Name: Cerberus | Level: 8 | Gender: Male Ability: INTIMIDATE | FLASH FIRE Attack Set 1: Bite | Ember | Body Slam Attack Set 2: Roar | Howl Hit by Tail Whip and Psybeam.

Abi heard Diark's command and watched as the pup howled before jumping to slam her pokemon once again. If that attack hit, Calico was done for. "Dodge! Quickly!!" she called, but the pool of water wasn't large enough for her to escape the powerful attack. Clearly type advantage wasn't everything and it was a hard lesson for Abi to learn. Gritting her teeth she saw her goldeen faint and returned her reluctantly. Holding the ball tightly in her hand she whispered, "You did so well for such a young pokemon, well done." To Diark she said, "Good match, that growlithe of yours is well trained."
She wondered if her opponent wanted to battle again or if they should part ways now. She decided to let him choose.

When the trainer complimented him, he felt too annoyed to give her the same treatment as he was a bit disappointed by her ability actually. The Goldeen was very special with two amazing egg moves, but she must have been so not trained well because her trainer could not even win a type advantage with it. He simply gave her a nod and walked out of the room as a sore winner. ::Growlithe:: Sore winner! And thread closed. +1 level for Goldeen and Growlithe
