Had a person decided, for one reason or another, to force their beloved pokemon to battle another person's beloved pokemon, they might have decided to come to the Trainer's Lounge. If that person had low level pokemon, they may have been directed to a series of doors. If that person followed those directions, and decided to open the door to room 007, they would see a very odd sight. For in room 007, a young girl with red hair was playing Go Fish with her Taillow. "Do you have any 4's, Miss Liz?" The Taillow chirped. Liz grinned back at him. "Go fish!" Hishou sighed through his beak and Liz, without looking, gave him another card(since he was using one of his two legs to hold the cards, he couldn't grab it for himself without falling). "Do you have a King?" Hishou's trainer asked. Grumbling quietly, he poked the card on the far left, which she took. Smirking, Liz laid down four Kings. The Taillow chirped rapidly. It might have been a laugh. I don't think I'll ever beat you, Miss Liz. In any case, when do you think a challenger will come? His trainer shrugged. "Whenever they feel like it. Until then, have you ever played War?
Liz Halford is looking for challengers. Her pokemon are levels 4-10, fair fights only!

Time to get some training in, Abi thought. She liked an even team so she needed to level up some of her pokemon. Walking through the doors of the Trainer's Lounge she looked around for someone who was free to battle with her. When no one appreared to be available she headed towards the front desk where she was directed to room 007.
Upon entering said room she was greeted with a strange sight indeed! Laughing a little, Abi waved to the girl and her Tailow, "Hi there, hope I'm not disturbing you, but are you free to have a match?"

Liz looked up from her cards as the door swung open, revealing another girl, a few years older than Liz. She was pretty tall, and she immediately noticed the girl's odd grey eyes. The red headed trainer grinned. "Nah, we were just waiting for someone to come by." She put her cards down, rising from her seat. "All right, rules are the basics. You're allowed to use one item per pokemon, and only send out one pokemon at a time. You can battle as long as you want. If you only want one match, that's fine. If you wan to keep battling until either side has no more pokemon left, that's fine too." She laughed. "All righty then! Let's begin. Hishou, you're up!" She nodded at the Taillow, who fluttered forward. It would be my honor, Miss Liz.

Abi nodded, smiling, "That's fine by me! I'm happy to battle until I'm out if you are?"
For the time being, Abi selected one of her pokeballs from her pocket and released her faithful partner, Ori. The young ponyta bounded from his confinement in a shower of flames. He trotted over to Abi, nuzzling his head against her cheek. She laughed and patted him affectionately before gently pushing him away and pointing him to the battle field with a smile.
"My name's Abi by the way, and this here is Ori", Abi said just before her ponyta charged forwards with a flaming incinerate attack.

Liz grinned as the Ponyta galloped forward to take his place. "He's a handsome one." she commented. "My name's Liz, and this is Hishou. All right, Hishou,let's see what you can do!" "You can count on me, Miss Liz! He flapped his wings hard, hoping to get into the air before Ori landed his attack. Just as he lifted himself, the ponyta's flames reached him. He was surrounded by a flurry of flames, and one could smell singed feathers. Before the fire reached his primary or tail feathers, he flew out of the flames, using the heat to lift him. Though it had damaged him, the fire had worked to his advantage. He folded his wings and dove, beak poised to peck his opponent without mercy. ...huh, that sounded a bit too evil for Hishou.

Ori whinnied as his flames charred his opponent. Abi nodded to Liz, "Thanks, Hishou looks like a very swift bird!" she said, eyeing how the tailow cleverly used the fire to his advantage. Very impressive. Looking at Ori she winked to him, "Go ahead and use growl, let's lower his attack! Then hit him with another incinerate!" As she called out her instructions Ori was trying to dodge the peck attack, but he hadn't enough time. The tailow caught him painfully on his neck and Ori reared trying to get away from the sharp beak.
Snapping his head around he aimed another firey attack at Hishou.

Hishou's beak cut into the skin on Tori's neck, knocking him a bit off balance. As he tried desperately to fly away, the Ponyta used growl. Hishou winced, knowing the effects of this. As he began to bank away from his opponent, a blast of fire suddenly engulfed the bird pokemon. Gasping, he tumbled out of the mini inferno onto the ground. "Come On, Hishou! Use focus energy then peck again!" It was still too soon to determine who had the upper hand in this battle, but he determined Taillow took off again. He flew in a wide arc above the Ponyta, his sharp eyes searching for possible sensitive areas. Like before, he dove at the fire horse, trying to nick her on the back.

Ori whinnied as he stamped around the arena. The flames along his body were burning brightly as he walked. He saw the tailow coming back at him with another peck attack. He growled once more, trying to dodge it, but again the tailow landed a perfect hit. Ori's shoulder was now bleeding as he tried to shake the tailow off. Burning up another Incinerate attack he charged over to Hishou.

Liz grinned as her Taillow landed his attack. "Great, Hishou! Keep it up. Alright, use growl this time! The Taillow swooped by Ori's ear, a harsh screech emitting from his beak as he went past. The screech turned into a painful gasp as another burst of flames surrounded him. "Get out of there, Hishou!" Liz shouted urgently. He once again caught the heat, and shot up like a bullet. I will not let you down, Miss Liz! Knowing what his trainer's next instruction would be, he dove again to use peck.

Ori's ears flattened at the screeching sound the taillow emitted. He cantered around the arena, trying to dodge the peck attack and at last it worked! Hishou swooped near him, but Ori managed to avoid the attack, growling as he did so.
Abi grinned, "Great job! You know what to do now!", she called directing him towards the taillow once more.
Picking up speed Ori allowed the flames on his body to grow hotter as he charged another incinerate towards Hishou.

Hishou angled his wings, barely missing the ground. He had expected to hit Ori, but when he hadn't, it messed up the path he planned on taking. From behind, he felt a blast of heat. The fire was impossible to avoid, and he could only focus on getting out of it. When he finally escaped, the Taillowed tail feathers were singed and his feathers stained black from the smoke. He rasped out a cough as Liz called, "Focus energy again, Hishou! Then peck!" He fluttered up and out of range, clearing his head and recovering. As the smoke began to catch up, he dove straight through it, using it as a screen to hide him from the Ponyta's eyes.

Ori was lucky with his fire attacks, but every time they hit the taillow, a new layer of smoke billowed from the bird's flight path. It was hard to follow the taillow's movements when it hid in the smoke he'd accidentally created. The ponyta heard the opposing trainer's voice call out and attack, but he couldn't see where Hishou was. Stepping back a little he snorted loudly, looking around, trying to find him. Out of nowhere the flying type dove at him, his sharp little beak catching him on the flank, making him rear with fright.
"Ori!", Abi called, "Use incinerate again, light even the smoke on fire!"
Ori heard and obeyed, controlling his fear and sending out waves of flames, hoping to catch the bird in this nest of fire.

Liz's eyes widened as she heard Abi's orders. "Hishou, get down, quick! Away from the smoke!" The Taillow squawked in alarm, folding his wings and diving. A blast of heat suddenly caught him, but he plunged straight through it. Had his wings been open, he would've been thrown into the air and then the fire. For a moment, he thought he was safe. Suddenly the original flames caught him, and he dove straight into a river of fire. For a moment, everything was red and burning. Then he broke through the flames and proceeded to fly low, just over Tori's head. The air above was now filled with ash, and he was finding it hard to breath. "Hishou. Use your focus energy. Stay calm, then peck." He landed briefly to take a breath of clean air, then took off again. Spotting Ori, he flew in to use peck. Hopefully, with all the ash and smoke, the Ponyta wouldn't notice him.

Abi nodded appreciatively to Liz, "He's well trained, and very fast!" She liked Hishou very much, admiring how swiftly he could move and how dedicated he was to his trainer.
Ori was finding it difficult to see now in all the smoke, ash and fire. He was caught off guard once again as the taillow pecked him, cutting into his skin. He was getting very frustrated with all these attacks now. Growling, he used incinerate to light the smoke on fire as well as trying to et the whole area ablaze! He would get that little Hishou! He would!

Liz's eyes widened as the flames grew brighter. She shivered, clutching at the burn scars from several years ago. This could get dangerous if the battle wasn't finished soon. Good thing there were small vents in the ceiling- to filter out smoke. "Hishou, stay down! Use focus energy again, and you know what to do after that." she covered her mouth with her shirt, crouching slightly to avoid breathing in the smoke and ash. Hishou swiftly dodged around the blaze swirling around him. The hot air currents were battering at him, and he had to fight to not be knocked off balance or burned. A sudden cold draft yanked him down, and he gasped as he tumbled onto the ground. He struggled back to his feet and gave himself a brief check up. It seemed he had escaped that attack unscathed. The small bird fluttered back up, hovering maybe a foot or two off the ground. His good eye observed Ori from afar. Though the smoke was hard to see through, he was still able to predict possible weak points. Silently, he soared over the the Ponyta. With a sudden burst of speed, he perched on Tori's back and attempted to peck the back of his neck. ((Reading that last sentence again, I curse my word choice.))

Ori's eyes scanned the smoke filled arena, trying to find Hishou. The bird was very fast, but he knew he couldn't fly away forever! Ori waited for him to attack and was actually pleased when he sensed Hishou behind him. The taillow attempted to peck the back of his neck and he whinnied, flaring his main and growling quickly before he turned a blasted an incinerate attack straight in the bird's little face!
Abi whooped excitedly! This battle wouldn't last much longer now, she was sure of it. Then they would get to use their next pokemon!

He had been stupid, careless. How in Arceus's name had he forgotten about the flaming mane? The fire suddenly blazed, and he was unable to dodge as the flames blasted him in the face.
Luckily, he closed his eyes.
If he hadn't, it was quite possible- even probable- that he would be blind in both eyes. One eye had already been rendered useless when he was a hatchling. To loose both eyes was a nightmare come to life.
Screeching in fear and alarm, he tumbled backwards and away from the flames. He could still feel the embers scorching his face. Trembling, he attempted to bat them out with his wings without alighting them again. The embers quickly cooled into ash.
"Hishou, are you alright?!" Liz cried anxiously. The Taillow chirped back to assure her he was, though he was too exhausted(and his throat too sore) to reply properly.
When he lifted off the ground, his flight was unsteady, and the heat of the flames battered him from all sides. He wouldn't last much longer now. But he couldn't give up. Clenching his beak in determination, he flew in a wide arc toward the Ponyta's flank.

Ori was feeling terrible for hurting the little bird so much. He'd grown to really admire him throughout the battle and hoped that they could meet up again sometime without this stress. But he had to end it quickly now. His own health was fading fast and he knew he too was nearly done. Taking the hit on his flank, he screeched in pain before turning around and racing towards Hishou in a charged up tackle attack. Thankfully the taillows attack had been weakened due to his earlier growling. Hopefully they would both get a rest after this!
Abi bit her lip, feeling for both the taillow and her ponyta, this was a hard battle for them. She mouthed an apology to Liz, hoping there were no hard feelings about the match so far.

Liz caught Abi's eyes and smiled faintly back. Her eyebrows arced down sadly as she gazed at the battling pokemon. It seemed to her that Hishou had been enjoying this battle, though now exhaustion was wearing him down.
Just as Liz had predicted, he was completely wiped out. He doubted he could land another attack as he tumbled clumsily to the floor. His breathing was harsh and ragged from the smoke and stress of the battle. Suddenly, there was a huge impact from behind as Ori tackled him. He was knocked forward a few feet, then lay still where he landed.
Good.... battle... he gasped out to Ori. Then his body went slack.
Liz snapped Hishou's pokeball open and returned him with a beam of light. The Taillow disappeared inside. "Great job," she called to Abi and her pokemon, voice muffled from the cloth covering her mouth. "Ori was amazing. Um, I'd say more, but I think we should get the smoke cleared out of this room." Maybe there was a kind of mechanism to filter out smoke and the like. Or maybe they would just switch rooms.
Glancing down at Hishou's pokeball, she murmured, "Thanks, Hishou. You gave this battle your all."

Abi released a breath she hadn't been aware she'd been holding. Wow, that match was intense. She watched as Ori made his way over to the little bird and nuzzled him kindly, thanking him for the battle. When Liz returned her Pokémon he looked back to Abi, clearly hoping for a rest inside his pokeball. Abi nodded and returned him as well. "I think Ori has grown quite attached to Hishou, who, by the way, is a fantastic little fighter! I was really impressed with him, you've clearly been doing a great job with his training!"
When Liz mentioned the smoke Abi nodded again, grinning and jogging over to a switchboard. She clicked the extractor fan and then waited as it took away the smoke. "Much better! Ok, shall we use our next Pokémon?" she asked, fishong out a pokeball from her pocket. She released her grass type onto the field and waited for Liz to reveal her next fighter too.
"This is my bulbasaur, EarthRoot," Abi said, smiling as Earth stood patiently, waiting for his opponent.
