Celio was in high spirits, he had just recently received his first Pokemon thanks to Jessica the Pokemon Ranger. His first Pokemon was a Girafarig, a rather unique Pokemon or Celio thought at least. Celio walked up to the start of Route 1, his first step was a significant one, it was the start of his long journey.
Not wanting to be the only one to enjoy this experience, Celio took out his new Pokemons pokeball and with a gentle toss, released Girafarig out in front of him. The Pokemon emerged with a bright flash of light and stood before him. Celio took a step forward and placed his hand on its head, "Hey buddy! I'm Celio, I'm your partner. Nice to meet ya!" He said as he gently rubbed its head.
The Girafarig made a sound similar to that of purring and began to bounce around Celio in a cheery fashion. Celio watched and laughed, "Ha ha, you are one energetic guy. Hmmm, I have a perfect nickname for you, how about Prancer? You seem to like prancing around." The Girafarig acknowledged what Celio said and accepted its new nickname. "Sweet, well then Prancer, me and you are gonna be one dangerous combo." And with that, the two began to walk down Route 1, weary of what they would encounter.

<I told you there'd be another trainer. They're always around here. You just gotta wait long enough!> A voice said, belonging to a small dark dog Pokémon. He looked proud as he spoke to his parter, who looked much less certain about looking for a trainer. <Brash...I dunno about this. I'm not strong-> <Of course you are. You're the strongest Shroomish I know. Marla, you'll do fine. Just go up and ask for a battle!>
With a small sigh, the small Shroomish crawled out from the forest leaves into the path of Celio and his strange giraffe Pokémon. She was visibly shaking and her voice and speech were full of stutters. <Umm...hello. M-my name is...M-m-marla. I was wonder if...umm...I could have a battle with you...?> The Poochyena walked in behind her. <She's kinda shy. Will you fight her?

Celio was happily walking about, Prancer was walking by his side. <Hey Celio! If we find any wild Pokemon, don't worry, I will protect you for sure!> He said while happily bouncing up and down, he was like a little kid. Celio turned his head and nodded, "Thanks buddy, that means a lot."
Though while walking, he noticed two figures emerge from the bushes and approach him. One was a Poocheyena while the other was a Shroomish, two pretty handy Pokemon to have on a team. The Shroomish aproached Celio first and timidly asked for a battle. The Poocheyena was behind the Shroomish who was named Marla. He asked that if Celio would battle Marla.
Celio smiled, "Of course I will battle you Marla, and no need to be shy. Confidence is a must for a lady such as yourself!" Celio added with a wink. Turning to Prancer, Prancer nodded <Right, ok Marla, lets make this a fun battle as it would be our first!>

The Shroomish looked up in suprise. She'd imagined a very unfair battle where the trainer had a Charizard or something. But the boy seemed nice. <Um, yeah. Okay.> She said, mustering up her courage and letting loose an Absorb.
The Poochyena, Brash, was on the sidelines cheering for his friend. If he'd already had a trainer, he might be holding pompoms. [/size]

Celio was pumped, his first Pokemon battle ever, his heart was pounding and his mind was racing with battle tactics. Prancer seemed excited as well, he was pawing at the ground ready to strike whenever ready. <Celio, lets make this a good first battle alright?> Celio smiled and nodded, Of course partner."
The Poocheyena moved over to the sidelines to cheer on Marla, a good friend indeed. Marla made the fist move letting loose an Absorb attack. Celio was ready, "Prancer, leap over to the right quick, dodge that Absorb attack!" Was his command for now, he had faith in Prancer despite this being their first battle. <Right!> Prancer yelled, obeying and leaping out of the way of the attack.
Celio grinned, Pokemon battles were fun. "Ok Prancer, strike back with a Confusion attack!" <Got it> Prancer responded, building up some energy, Prancer let loose a Confusion attack at Marla.

<Watch out.> The Poochyena yipped, sitting on his hind legs with his front paws covering his eyes. He couldn't even look to see what was going to become of merry-Marla. The Shroomish was caught in a light tangle of psychic abilities. It sent her in a spiral, nearly confusing her, until she caught herself before anything like that could happen. She was too wary to fall for something like that right off the bat.
<Whoa...I feel sick...> She wobbled and bobbled on her stubby feet, and she knew that she couldn't risk using a Tackle attack. Instead, she sent out various orbs into the air. Her most accurate attack that she possessed. She could use a life-sucking Absorb on the Girafarig, so she could fight with her full potential.

Seeing Prancer react just as he commanded and strike back with an awesome Confusion attack, Celio couldn't help but smile. "Way to go Prancer! Keep it up!" He yelled as Prancer returned to in front of him, ready for the next attack. <Right on! This is fun, eh Marla?> Prancer was just as excited as Celio was, it was evident the two were similar in personality.
Marla was sent back by the Confusion attack yet was still ready to fight. She was a tough little Shroomish despite her attitude, with a little work she would be strong. She retaliated with another Absorb attack, Celio couldn't react and tell Prancer to dodge quickly enough and the attack hit Prancer. It wasn't too strong of an attack yet it healed Marla so it was a pain.
Prancer wobbled a bit after being hit, <Ouch, that smarts!> He exclaimed with discomfort. Celio was already ready to counter attack, "Prancer, rush forward and use Confusion again, full power!" Prancer began to sprint forward, his body glowing with a bit of energy as he released another Confusion attack at Marla. <Take this!>

The timid Shroomish squeaked in fear, as the Giraffig forged through the attack, only wincing with a small amount of discomfort. The strength of the pokemon held her immobile for a moment and she stared ahead in fear.
<Marla! What are you doing? MOVE!> Brash screamed, frantically hopping up and down. He had such a strong urge to dive into the battle and knock her out of the way. The Poochyena held back though, knowing this was the only way the Shroomish would learn.
The Shroomish was jolted to her senses and felt a rush of adreline, she had to move! Move she did, she leapt to the side, and dodged the attack with amazing speed. It was a stunning move and the Shroomish looked quite shocked herself, she didn't know she could do that!
The Confusion sailed by harmlessly and the Shroomish hesitated unsure of what to do. After a small pause, she ran towards Prancer with a Tackle attack. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to dodge due to the hesitation before the attack. If you were paying attention you would be able to see it coming.

Celio heard the Poochyena encourage Marla to fight and to try harder. He was a good friend to Marla, helping her out when she was in such a pinch. Marla, listening to Brash's words of encouragement, made a stellar move and dodged the Confusion attack with grace and precision. "Eh? Look at the Marla, you are strong! No need to be afraid! Celio was also encouraging Marla, she was strong, and he possibly wanted to capture the Shroomish.
Prancer was still charging forward, he hadn't faltered when his Confusion attack missed, he had faith in Celio's command. Marla prepared to counter attack yet she hesitated, it was only for a second, yet Celio and Prancer both noticed. Marla launched herself with a Tackle attack, her small round body flew with impressive speed and power.
But Celio was ready for this, the moment of hesitation was her downfall. "Prancer, side step to the left quickly, then counter back with your own Tackle attack!" Prancer was already ready to obey, quickly he shifted his body to the left, barely moving out of Marla's path. <Sorry Marla, but you are too slow!> Prancer yelled out as he dove forward with his own Tackle aiming to knock her out of the air and into the ground.

The sudden tackle attack to the side left both Brash and Marla struck with a sudden jolt of surprise, and left both of their mouths hanging wide open as she was rammed into. Spores from the top of her head were released into the air, a mix of poison, sleep, and paralysis inducing spores, which were dangerous to inhale, were caused by her Effect Spore ability. Best to watch out making those physical attacks now, especially when you didn’t have the proper medicine in your starter kit. She fell with a groan, rolling onto her butt so she could sit up straight, and she gave an innocent, pained look at the Girafarig. She still wasn’t so sure of herself. That attack had really hurt.
<Don’t give up! Just use another attack and show them what you can do!> Brash cried, jumping up and down from side to side now, unable to contain his excitement. His yelps started to attract the attention of other wild Pokemon, who timidly watched from in the trees, and in the bushes. Marla started to get up, but faltered, feeling a sharp cramp in her hip. Wincing, she pulled herself through that in order to try one more Tackle attack on the Girafarig.

Seeing Prancer's Tackle attack land, Celio let out a slight cry of happiness. His first battle was going rather well, though something caught his eye. A slight cloud of spores emitted from Marla's head. Thinking quickly, Celio remembered that Shroomish had the Effect Spore ability, which was dangerous when using physical attacks. He called out quickly, trying to save Prancer, "Hey Prancer! Move away quick and hold your breath, those spores are dangerous!"
Prancer nodded and held his breath as he saw the spore cloud move ever closer. Back pedaling as quickly as possible, Prancer moved away from the cloud in the nick of time. Prancer let out a loud gasp for air as he moved away, <That was close! That was close! He exclaimed with excitement in his voice.
Marla struggled to get back up but managed to do so. Celio admired her courage, she was transcending herself in this very fight. She slowly moved forward and let loose another Tackle attack. Celio let out a slight gruff, "Marla, I respect your courage, that is why I won't back down, Prancer get in her face and use Confusion!" Prancer obeyed, as Marla launched herself forward, Prancer stepped forward and let loose a powerful Confusion attack at her face.

Marla was so certain that her attack was going to connect with the Girafarig, that she held her eyes shut on a reflex before she came close to her target. What she didn’t see coming, was another spiral of Confusion headed right toward her, stopping her from nearing the Girafarig, and sending her in an endless spin away from her goal. Around and around she went, like a little children’s top upon the slush covered grass, and the crisp, dead leaves. Her head released tiny puffs of spores from the impact of the attack to no avail, until she finally stopped spinning; she was already in a dizzy state.
<Um…um…um…My head…hurts…> Stuttered out, the world a mix of colors and sigths, her senses felt of tangled up with everything else, she didn’t know what was what! She fell on her back. That was enough battling for one day.
Girafarig gains a level.

Celio was praying for good luck and that the Confusion attack would hit. As Marla flew forward, it appeared that she closed her eyes, it seems that she was praying as well. But fortunately for Celio, she was stopped short by the Confusion attack. She was stopped in midair and was sent spiraling back by the blast. She flew for several feet before she skidded to a stop. Celio felt a little sorry for her, it was a harsh battle yet it was necessary for her to experience it.
Prancer sat there, he was breathing a little heavily. Being his first battle and Marla being resilient, he wasn't used to such hard work. Yet given enough time he would adjust. Marla tried to get up yet failed to do so and fell backwards. She was finished! Celio had won his first battle, jumping for joy he ran and hugged around Prancer's neck. "We did it buddy! We won!" Prancer was bouncing around like usual when he was happy. <That was fun! Battling is tough work though!> Though Celio was done celebrating, he turned and walked towards Marla. "Hey Marla, you ok?"

<Um…Yeah…I’m pretty tired though.> Marla sighed as she sat upright, starting to feel slightly better now that everything was finally over with. She wasn’t very happy with herself, however, despite Brash’s attempts to cheer her up with encouraging words of support. He whined, tilting his head to the side, as he tried to think of some way to make her feel better.
<You’ll get it next time…Come on…It was your first battle. You can’t give up on it forever because of one little loss. > He was very temped to wrap her up in his arms and give her a giant ‘glomp’, but he felt like that would’ve been too much for this sensitive Shroomish. The most he could muster was a gentle paw on what looked like her shoulder, giving the most emotional support he could.
<Yeah…Yeah…> Marla sighed once more. Disappointed, but not sad that she couldn’t get the results she wanted. <But you were great, really.> She looked up at the Girafarig, impressed with his skill and power.

Celio was glad to see that Marla wasn't hurt too bad. She had suffered a tough loss, yet this loss would make her stronger. He reached out and gently rubbed her head, "You did well Marla. I was impressed. You should have no complaints." Celio said in a kind, reassuring voice.
Prancer moved to stand beside Celio and Marla. He noticed how Brash comforted her and smiled, <You are a true friend Brash. And Marla, I can't take all the credit. I owe my strength to Celio. Together our strength is limitless I believe> Celio blushed a little, it was rare that he was embarrassed. But quickly shaking it off, he nodded his head. "That's right Marla. We work as a team to make our strength even greater. If you want, you could come with us and together we can bring out your true strength!"

<Aha! That’s great Marla! With a trainer, you can continue your dream! This is the right path. You should go with him.> Brash barked excitedly, jumping from side to side because he simply couldn’t hold all of the energy inside his tiny little body. His chocolate black colored fur shifted with the chilly wind, not phasing the pup in the slightest, but it bothered Marla. She never did like the cold.
<You can really make me stronger? Really?> Marla’s eyes brightened with the thought of making her most important and treasured dream come to life. If she could be the ultimate battler, she could finally have the self-confidence she wanted. She always had Brash to back her up in her times of depression, but she truly wanted to go on her own someday, and learn not to rely on him.
<Yes! I’ll come! Please let me come!> She was practically begging Celio to take care of her. She didn’t mind having him around as company, and the Girafarig was plenty nice! The only Pokemon she would miss having around was Brash…But they could always see each other again.

Celio chuckled as Brash encouraged her to go. It was a shame, he was almost tempted to try and take him along with him. Prancer stared with a happy and youthful expression, he was living an exciting life now, that was for sure. Marla asked if Celio could really make her stronger, he had full confidence in his ability to do so. Yes Marla. I promise I can, that you can count on." He flashed a wide goofy grin as he was done talking.
Marla's tone quickly changed. It turned into a pleading nature for her to join Celio. <Celio, use a Pokeball on her. With that, she can come with us for sure!> Prancer exclaimed bouncing up and down a little bit excitement. Celio stood up and reached for an empty Pokeball. "I know, I know Prancer. I'm not that new at this you goob." He winked at Prancer to show that it was only a joke. With a quick flick of his wrist, he tossed the Pokeball at Marla. "O.k. Marla, here goes. Welcome to the team!"

Marla eagerly bumped her head onto the red and white capsule, allowing it to take her inside her future home. It was so simple and easy, that she had no reason to fear when she found herself in a comfortable, relaxing environment inside the tiny Pokeball. Strange, holographic lines crossed her body as she was inside, scanning her and accepting her as an actual Pokemon, and she didn’t fight it for one second. Soon, the Pokeball stopped shaking, and she was a happy member of Ceilo’s crew. Ready to serve! Well, after a quick potion or trip to the Pokémon Center that is.
::female:: Level: 6 Attacks: Absorb, Tackle
<You! You’re the culprit that invaded my nest!> A sharp shout came from up in the trees, where a Starly sat upon its branches, glaring down at the Poochyena. She was obviously in a foul mood, and wasn’t about to listen to reason. She was from a long line of Staravia and Spearow, and that only built up an aggressive nature inside of her, making her and any member of her flock highly territorial.
<You should know better than to walk on my turf.> She hissed, inwardly chuckling when she saw Brash draw back in fright.
<What? I don’t know what you’re talking about. This is my first time around here…B-because of my friend…> He attempted to explain the situation to the Starly, but from her heated glare, he sensed that being rational wasn’t going to help the situation any further. She had enough of just talking, and she dived down from the branches, using a fierce Fury Attack on the Poochyena.

OOC: Just curious, what level is the Shroomish I just captured? Unless I missed it somewhere.
IC: As Marla was captured, Celio felt a great sense of joy. He had captured his first Pokemon and it was one that was worth keeping in his opinion. In no time he could help Marla overcome her shyness and fears and become a powerful member of his team. She was badly wounded however and would need care quick. He turned to Brash and had sort of melancholy look on his face. "Sorry Brash, you are all alone now. I feel bad."
Though his sadness was quickly took away by surprise. A wild Starly had flown down and started fussing at Brash. Apparently this was his territory and they were intruding. Brash tried to calm the Starly down by talking to it, but it wouldn't listen. The Starly then began attacking Brash with a Fury Attack. Prancer let out a loud growl which sounding weird coming from a giraffe. <Hey! Leave him alone!>
Celio wouldn't allow such a sneak attack to continue. He turned to Prancer and nodded his head. [color=Green"O.k. buddy, I know you are a little tired from the battle with Marla but he gotta help him out. Try and get the Starly off of him with a Confusion attack!"[/color] Prancer nodded his head and sent a psychic blast at the angry little bird.

OOC: Whoops! My bad. I edited my last post to include her stats. :3 Don’t forget to add a level to Prancer.
BIC: The Poochyena had no means to protect himself from the endless fury of beaks, a jab there meant that he could dodge one way, but that would only leave him open for more painful pecks. She was a violent, rogue bird that absolutely wanted him to suffer for whatever it is that he did. He whimpered, backing up more and more, until he was trapped between her and a tree. Those pecks just wouldn’t stop! A thick fur coat wasn’t enough to stop this onslaught of attacks. <S-someone! Help me!> He cried, closing his eyes tight to provide at least a little protection to his sensitive eyes.
<You. Will. Pay.> She hissed, pausing to take a breather from her attacks. With her wings raised in the air to look more threatening, she didn’t expect an intervention from another party. The Confusion attack toppled her over onto her side, twirling her a little in a pitiful attempt to cause confusion. That was futile, because she hit the ground before she could really get dizzy. But the attack still hurt. And she didn’t tolerate pain. <You…You just asked for it.> The Starly flapped her small wings, without her flapping them, she appeared to be a wingless bird due to their size. She would’ve grinned if she could, because she sensed a clear advantage as she took to the skies. Thinking through her list of attacks, she thought it was best to just stick with a plain Tackle attack to see what Prancer was made of. Diving down, she could see a look of concentration in the psychic type’s eyes, almost making her back off, but she kept with the attack.
