"alright, atlas, be a good boy for renae, just do your best, okay?" he cooed, shooing the little hopping bird out onto the makeshift battle field. this was going to be fun. since he had turned up late, he offered arthur the choice of going first. it seemed like the polite thing to do.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur frowned slightly, because he never recalled inviting anyone here since he usually just showed up and expected a battle whenever he was in the trainer's lounge. It would be only a matter of time before he was actually going to lead with an attack, but he did feel like he had the advantage over the lower level Pokémon. Deciding to just go with it, Arthur merely commanded Jamaya as he noticed a trainer walking up to him to demand a battle. Well, that was fair, but he wasn't going to be, "Jamaya use cross poison," he said, and that's when Jamaya suddenly perked up and reared her hind legs so her front ones would raise forwards. Her two front claws suddenly took on a poisonous glow and she charged forwards slashing downwards, aiming for the hoothoot. Arthur wasted no time, and didn't bother with greetings since he was always so srs.

goodness, there was no messing around with this guy. renae gulped slightly as the other guy ordered his Pokémon to attack immediately: sure, it had been what renae had wanted but he suddenly realised that this was a serious battle and he'd have to get his head into the right place if he wanted any chance of winning at all. not that winning was the point here - he was just trying to train up his hoothoot - but it sure would be nice, after his close defeat at the hands of blitz. "oh, good one!" renae cheered at the joltik, enamoured as usual by an electric-type in action. a joltik was definitely on his list. as his hoothoot took the attack on his round little body, renae resisted the urge to run up and hug his little baby and tell him it was all going to be okay. instead, he walked forward calmly, patted atlas on the head and said, in a tone he usually reserved for speaking to children and psychopaths, "be a good boy, atlas, and give me a supersonic attack, then a faint attack." the hoothoot did as he was told, sending out a ray of muddled-up psychic waves at the joltik before discreetly sidling up to him and tweeting sweetly to catch the bug-type off-guard before ramming him with a full-body attack. renae cheered a little, before remembering he was trying not to embarrass himself, and then decided on doing a silent little happy dance in the background. atlas looked proud of himself, too: his first ever attack, this was indeed a special moment. renae looked at the other boy to try and gauge his reactions, but no luck: he could only presume that he was not going to stop and offer a handshake and a conversation over coffee. renae shivered. he could only imagine what might happen if he became that determined - his mother might die of shock. renae had never been serious about anything in his life. "your turn!" he called out merrily, trying to make this a conversation and not an annihilation. it was probably too late for that, but there was no harm in trying!

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur sighed and merely waved Renae away with a slight gesture, initiating he didn't wish to talk. There was no point in getting to know one another just over a battle, besides he had to keep his mind in control. Despite the fact he already had the battle planned out right away, and now he had the upper hand. "Dodge the supersonic, Jamaya, use Faint attack!" he said, deciding to show the other trainer that his pokemon was just as terrific. More or less, he wasn't gauging his opponent's reaction and almost thought this was a waste of time. In the long run though, he figured it would indeed be worth it. "Yeah, I got that, so if your hoothoot would please stand still, we can make a sport out of this," he retorted. Now that was mean, but he wasn't here for just fun and games. Arthur watched Jamaya get hit by the faint attack, and suddenly she forced her own body against the hoothoot, front claws lashing forwards as she narrowly avoided the supersonic.

"it's okay, atlas, we'll just try again! supersonic, and this time let's see you do a featherdance, huh?" he was trying out the hoothoot's moveset, and though there was not actually any contact with the pokemon he would like to see what his baby atlas could do. the hoothoot hopped forward on his one stubby leg, blinking his hypnotisingly large eyes, then he attempted to get his confusing rays of psychic energy on target this time. hit by a faint attack on his body, the hoothoot let out a little cry, and shied away from the scary joltik which had harmed him. but, remembering what renae told him, atlas shivered so that a whole lot of downy fluff came off his body and, with quivering breaths, he coated the joltik in the stuff. there. the bug was much less scary when it looked like it was tarred and feathered, like a pokemon who had been the butt end of an unfortunate prank. renae frowned at arthur, placing his hands on his hips like a teapot. "hey, that's awfully mean! atlas is doing the best he can, isn't he, yes you are, darling," he ended, cooing to his owl. he was like a mother goose to his pokemon, all except for melody, who seemed to have the desire to mother them all herself, and kirby, who was so independent and vicious that renae was afraid to try to cuddle the bird for fear of having his eyeballs pecked out. oh well. at least he had his baby hoothoot, who loved mother renae, and his eggs. the best part about eggs was that they couldn't get away when he wanted to hug them, too. they were a captive audience for his love.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur merely gave a smug smirk at the other trainer's reaction, and nodded his head in return. At least Jamaya was able to use attacks without much concern for her own health, and suddenly wanted to get this battle over with. Cross poison was just as strong as faint attack was, but the added effects it had were rather intense. Even as the little joltik raised up her claws again, she started to move forwards as the supersonic hit her. Making her spin in circles for a minute until she gained her footing, and despite her mind reeling in different directions she still managed to focus. "Use spider web, not that I really need to, but anyways, use cross poison again," he added. That supersonic was definitely going to be a hindrance, but he noticed the other pokemon doing some funky dance that had no effect due to not being an attack move. So now, he had a dilemma on his hands, and Jamaya rushed forwards to start wrapping the opponent in webbing. At the same time she was jabbing her claws down to try and do a lot more damage to the hoothoot. "Very well-versed, for a baby pokemon," he commented, the first nice thing to say since this had started.

renae gasped as his poor little hoothoot was hit again by a cross-poison, and he hoped that - like lucky last time - atlas would not be poisoned. phew, it looked like their luck was holding out: atlas took severe damage from the attack, but he was still hale and healthy after all that poisonous clawing was over with. renae knew it was too good to last, though, and he ran his hands through his hair in anxiety. atlas was now coated in a weird, thin silk substance, a wet web which coated him in stickiness and made moving a little difficult. still, the little pokemon had an idea spring into his little head: when the joltik came near for a faint attack, the hoothoot attacked back quickly, using their proximity to try and rub some of the spider's web onto his opponent. then, bouncing immediately off the back of that, he shook some of his fluffy downy feathers onto the bug pokemon, in an effort to severely lower his attacking ability. because when a pokemon was coated in feathers and spit residue, they clearly were not in a right state to be using frightening physical moves. renae smiled and curtseyed graciously at the boy's compliment, beginning to gush. it was the kid's fault, he'd opened up a crack in conversation and renae was going to try and shove as many words in there as possible before he was inevitably shut out again. "oh, thankyou! i hatched him a little while ago, he was so cute and timid when he came out of his egg! and i bet you'll believe it, this is his first ever battle. he's barely even come out of my backpack before now, and he's doing so well! your little baby joltik is so ferocious for such a small one, you've obviously been training him well. goodness, what i wouldn't do for a joltik! they are certainly very interesting creatures, electrical spiders, and look at all those eyes." he stopped to take a breath, and grinned even wider at the boy. notwithstanding gym badges or contest ribbons, renae could surely win a gold medal for chatting.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur felt that his joltik was a little overpowered right now, but he had no qualms at all about this in general. Finally, something good was coming of this, and he had no reason to keep low anymore. So, this guy was a talker, well Arthur could deal with that, but he wasn't going to be enthusiastic about it. "SHE is a great joltik, and she's just as serious as I am, if not a little more uptight," he said in return. "Jamaya, use string shot, and then use leech life," Arthur said hoping to gain a little health. Luckily Jamaya took the feather dance in stride, and she was then struck by what seemed to be a feeble attack to her. A faint attack had finally landed on her leaving her partially damaged, but she had a level advantage of the hoothoot. Arthur merely grinned as he watched the absorption bubbles appear around the hoothoot then latch on to try to steal life from him.

"give me a faint attack and another featherdance!" renae said, hoping that with a reduced attack capacity he might delay the impossible. was faint attack, or leech life even, a physical move? he couldn't for the life of him remember, and the stressful situation didn't help him in that respect either. whatever. featherdances were pretty so he might as well go out in true coordinator fashion. "well, she is a very pretty pokemon, and my, how strong!" renae said apologetically. "but being so serious must be a bummer all the time, right? you need to loosen up, maybe we could go for drinks or some lunch after this?" he asked, fully assured of receiving a positive reply. after all, who replied to the profusion of a companionable meal with anything but friendliness? waving on his baby pokemon to the field, he was all too aware that this might be atlas' last attack set. tired to the bone, the hoothoot completed a featherdance, coating the sticky bug in feathery down once again, making her look even less intimidating. but that didn't take away from the fact that atlas was sleepy and atlas just wanted to go home and cuddle his renae. trying for a faint attack, he instead tripped with his one hopping leg and ended up barrelling towards the spider with a full-bodied tackle. oh well, at least it was an attack that was actually in his arsenal. it was an improvement.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur decided to retake that invitation, but he had no intent of joining up with this weirdo. Honestly, who did he think he was actually trying to talk to him over something like this? Well, the battle was only going to get worse from here on out. At least it was over soon and he wasn't too worried about the outcome. Having preferred taking a bullet over having to talk to this person again, but he'd deal with it for as long as he had to. "No thanks, I'll pass, I have more training to do, and I have no need for bonding when I just want to be stronger," he said to the other trainer. Merely ordering his jamaya to use another leech life on the bird. Jamaya suddenly noticed the featherdance again, but she paid it no mind as it seemed to lower her attack more even if she was covered in the feathers. It was not going to hinder her ability from trying to stop the hoothoot, because she suddenly let out some more little orbs to try stealing more health just to prolong the battle. At least she was getting used to the thrill of the battle, but he planned on using a new attack after this. Yet, somehow, he figured this was the only special attack he could use, no matter how ineffective it may be against the bird pokemon. Arthur knew it was useless, but it was just to prolong the inevitable.

"that's perfectly alright. the offer stands though, if you ever need a break," he said cheerfully, grinning. kneeling down to atlas he rubbed the little bird's shoulders - or wing pinions, or whatever they were on a bird's anatomy - like a coach would for a pro wrestler before the final round. "this is it, buddy. one last go. give it everything okay - but don't hurt yourself." atlas blinked slowly in affirmation, then steeled himself for an attack. critical hits - and a massive one at that - were the only thing that could help them now, but that was a long shot and hinging his dreams of success on such a hope, no matter how hopeful renae was naturally, felt criminal. they were going to lose soon, but they would go down fighting. atlas ran forward, drifting in and out of the shadowy bits of this indoor field before attempting to strike the joltik right on his many-eyed face. then, collapsing into himself, he waited for oblivion.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur noticed that Jamaya was doing good, but suddenly the feint attack from the hoothoot startled her to the point she didn't know what to do. That's when he decided to return her, but part of him told him not to just so she could get more experience. Now that they were done battling, he could at least focus on the fact that he had lost. That was definitely rather humiliating, however, it was a good battle, and the confusion had lasted almost too long. Arthur hoped the next time that happened, Jamaya wasn't confused as much. Jamaya was just about to get up from the attack too. "Alright, Jamaya, use cross poison again!" he said to her, and this was his first mistake using an attack move. Jamaya tried clearing her vision and then spoke out, Can't see! she said as suddenly she ended up striking herself with her own attack. Claw scratching her own face as she suddenly knocked herself out on the spot, and Arthur's eyes widened suddenly. How the hell did that happen? Guess his luck had run out. "Looks like you won," he said as he returned Jamaya to her pokeball, and then took her towards the machine to heal her. Ding ding ding ding was heard as the machine quickly restored her back to full health. Then letting her out again, she was back at full health, but he decided to take it easy for a little bit before going again.

[/style] [STYLE=padding: 8px; font-family: arial; font-size: 10px; color: black; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0px; width: 276px;] renae couldn't believe his eyes. finally, the confusion had taken its toll and the joltik baby had hurt herself while trying to strike little atlas. both the hoothoot and the trainer were lost for words as they watched jamaya faint onto the floor, and finally renae broke the silence. "we... won?" rushing forward and grabbing the hoothoot by his two little wings, renae swung atlas around in circles. "we won, we won, we won, we won!" he sang, and the hoothoot sang along with little wordless chirps, since he hadn't quite learnt how to speak yet, pokespeech or queen's english. "oh my goodness, we won!" doing a crazed happydance with his awkward feet and arm flailing everywhere, renae couldn't quite contain all of his overflowing excitement. slowing down eventually, he gave atlas a little ruffle on his head and turned around to see that the other kid had healed up his fainted joltik and seemed ready for more. nodding his head enthusiastically, renae too returned atlas for a moment to heal him up on the handy dandy machine in the corner, conducting the familiar beeping noise with his hands before taking back atlas and releasing him. now a whole level stronger, the hoothoot was rearing to go, having grown a taste for this whole battling thing. "another go around, then, is it?" he called out to his companion across the room, sending hoothoot back into the fray. renae decided it was his turn to go first now, and so he directed atlas with an easy move to begin with, nothing too taxing to ease him back into battle. "give me a supersonic," renae decreed, pointing at the joltik. the hoothoot complied, sending a bunch of jumbled, distorted psychic waves at the joltik, a move which had worked so very much in their favour just a few minutes ago. ogling his big orange eyes at his opponent, atlas waited for the joltik's next move with just a hint of trepidation but mostly excitement for another battle to come.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur figured that another rematch would be just fine, but he was slightly worried about Jamaya being devoured by the hoothoot. Even as she started to get more uppity as she started forming words more clearly and her little baby words were forming into real ones as she was suddenly getting the hang of pokespeech finally. It didn't take her too long at least, and Arthur was proud that she had mastered it within a few days of listening to Midnight chatting with other pokemon a lot. Good thing he had his meowth around, and she was busy preening her claws nearby. Luckily for him, he had an idea on how to counter the supersonic this time, but he figured Jamaya could handle it. Even as the rays were sent out, Jamaya was already confused and Arthur was condemning the other trainer in his mind constantly. Owie, it huuurts! she said suddenly, and perked up as she skittered back over to Arthur to whine to him. Pining at his leg as suddenly she clawed at her own face by accident thinking she was attacking at the hoothoot. Then she started to wail and cried some more after hurting herself in her confusion. Arthur patted her and she instantly sobered up to take on her challenger after shooting a string shot at the bird pokemon. "Good girl, for using string shot and trying to attack with faint attack,!" he said to her. Well, that's what he had assumed she had been trying to use.

"featherdance, and a faint attack!" renae said, and the hoothoot nodded, getting better and more confident at this. a rematch certainly was a good idea, and renae was grateful the other guy had decided upon it: renae had been about to grab his backpack and leave without a backwards glance or a second thought about the matter. atlas hopped forwards, shaking a layer of downy feathers off his body and blowing them with unsteady breaths towards the joltik, trying to coat the confused little electric-type in feathers so that his attacks wouldn't be quite so forceful. another cross-poison or a faint attack, though, wouldn't be hindered by the attack, but renae didn't mind. making a feint to the side, the hoothoot threw himself towards the joltik in a faint attack, hoping to score the first real attack hit of the match against the already sore and confused little bug-type.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur watched the hoothoot with increased determination, and suddenly the joltik was covered in feathers again. Deciding to just go with it since he could at least gain a level each time this occurred, and now he had his chance to level up a little more. Jamaya was annoyed by the feathers and just ignored them as she suddenly jumped in to slash at the hoothoot with both her claws to use cross slash. Hyah! Only a beauty like me can actually successfully learn to battle! she said suddenly, able to speak right away.

renae was excited about this battle, and his everpresent grin was plastered all over his face. he was just about to giggle girlishly when suddenly the most horrible thing he could imagine happened - atlas was struck with a cross poison. worse than that, the toxic substance seeped into the cut and poisoned him, badly. this would not end well. holding a hand to his forehead in anguish, renae gathered the little baby up into his arms and cuddled him for a second, making soothing shhing noises as the newly-hatched little bird began to cry. "hey now, hey, don't cry. hey, who's my big man? you can do it, i believe in you!" watching with jealous eyes as the other guy's joltik began to talk, rather fluently as well, renae wished atlas would hurry up and learn to speak so he could begin to learn to understand him. he was getting better at it, since he had studied melody's turn of phrase and learnt from her what pokespeech entailed, but still. it took a while, and the longer atlas spent mute the longer it would be until renae could understand what he wanted. whispering the next attack to atlas, renae put him back down on the ground where he hopped gingerly forward. the poison had struck him hard, but he was still ready to attack, loyal to the last for his mummy renae. moving forward, he threw everything into a tackle which would hopefully land on the joltik's arachnid body and give her at least a taste of the pain he was going through right now.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] Arthur wasn't sure if this was just another battle he was going to lose, but Jamaya certainly had her work cut out for her. Even as she was rejoicing when the cross poison had hit, but with her attack having been lowered made the hit less effective. Level difference wasn't the priority right now since she was constantly losing against this poor little hoothoot. Luckily, she did have a plan, but it would only work if she could actually get in the hit. As her body tilted towards the side a little, but the confusion wasn't going to stop her in her tracks just yet. The hoothoot's body was suddenly upon her and she was looking up at it as he struck her body. Jamaya then reared up and jumped back as she shot several missiles towards the hoot hoot in self-defense from her body. Not a very-effective move, but considering the way the sharp needles looked like pins as they locked on to their target like missiles. Arthur was glad she finally used a new move he hadn't seen before, but hoped it wouldn't surprise the other trainer or bird Pokémon too much.
