Nathara stepped outside the boundary of the town, and looked at the scene before her. A dirt path lead the way through a beautiful meadow, blooming with summer flowers. The rustle of a wild Pokémon could occasionally be heard, and in the distance she could spot a trainer or two.
She couldn't remember ever feeling this free. Reaching into her bag, she pulled out the pokeball that contained her sneasel. With her heart pounding loudly in her ears, she released her new partner.
A rather impressive looking sneasel appeared before her in a flash of white light. His long pink ear identified him as a male. The sneasel looked at her quietly for a few moments, then smiled.
"Sneez!", he exclaimed, raising one clawed hand into the air.
Nathara laughed, then held out her hand in the way her father had taught her to greet new Pokémon. The sneasel didn't hesitate for a moment in placing his claw in her hand.
"Say, would you like the name Razel?"
"Sneez sneez!"
"I'll take that as a yes. Would you like to walk with me outside of your pokeball?"
Razel walked a few paces down the path, then looked back at Nathara. With a smile, she stowed the pokeball back in her bag and followed.

{{ooc/ if you didn't already know, pokemon can talk in their own language. x] of course, if you did know this already and just choose to make them speak only poketalk, that's fine too, just letting you know :] }}
Often on hot summer days, pokemon enjoyed being outside to sun themselves. Making use of the warm sun, some were outside even now, enjoying the sleep-inducing warmth. Pokemon with wings, however, often didn't stay in one place for very long - so they enjoyed the sun their own way; by taking daily flights to stay dry and warmed. One of these was a Yanma that was flying joyously without a care.
Noticing the two walking on the route 1 road, the bug decided to spread the joy. Swooping down to eye-level with the human, Yanma circled around her and then around Sneazel, once. Then, returning to face the trainer, the flying bug tilted his head and smiled carefreely. <How are you today?> Squeaked the red and green insect, with somewhat of a smile on his face.

(OOC: Really? I didn't know that. That will make things easier.) Nathara stopped mid-step as a yanma buzzed over to investigate her partner and herself. "I'm doing very well. This route is beautiful during the summer. How are you?" Razel backtracked to where his trainer was standing. He nodded to the bug pokemon, then scanned the surrounding meadow.

{{ooc/ No problem - just use < > for pokemon when they're speaking. :3 }}
Yanma wriggled with excitement in response to the trainer's acknowledging the route's beauty, as if he'd just now been reminded by it. He did a backflip in the air, then heard the rest of the trainer's greeting. <I am well, thank you~!> Replied the Yanma, who then flew in a fancy pattern in the air. <Why, I feel so grand that I would like to have a battle. Will you humor my request?> Suggested the insect as he continued to beat his wings in a steady rhythm. He hadn't had a battle with a trainer in a long time, and it would be great practice.

Nathara's pulse sped in excitement as the wild pokemon challenged her. Razel smiled, and flexed his claws.
<C'mon, we can take him!>
Spurred on by her partner's confidence, she smiled again.
"I accept. For your information, this will be my first pokemon battle ever."
With that, she moved into a more battle-ready stance that she had seen trainers take when they fought. Razel jumped into position before his trainer.

Yanma gave a buzz of excitement at the trainer's confession. <That's even better! Then I shall have the honor of having demonstrated it to you~!> Squeaked the flapping bug enthusiastically. Then he gave a little grin of confidence. <My friends tell me I'm really powerful, just so you know~> Remarked the bug, as he was going into position for the battle.
<Well, let's start!> Said the insect in a shrill voice. Zipping through the air, the insect prepared to slam his 84 pounds into the little Sneasel's side. He gained speed as air whizzed past him. Oh, the thrills of taking flight!

Nathara tensed as the wild Pokémon rocketed towards her partner in a powerful tackle.
"Razel, dodge!"
The sneasel jumped out of the way, but wasn't fast enough to avoid a glancing blow. He regained his balance a second later.
"Now use scratch!"
She hoped that the momentum from tackling would lessen the yanma's ability to dodge the blow.
With a determined yell, Razel leaped towards his opponent with one claw outstretched.

Yanma flapped backwards in order not to crash into the ground since just grazing the Sneasel's side wasn't enough to slow him down. This delayed his ability to dodge, and the claws raked through his abdomen. He let out a cry of pain as the damage took effect, then quickly swooped upwards to avoid a possible repeat attack. <You're pretty good!> He complimented, grinning childishly.
Then, after readying himself, he swooped towards straight towards the Sneasel. This time, he was bent on pursuing his opponent.

Nathara silently congratulated the sneasel on his direct hit.
"Thank you! I hope you aren't injured too badly.", she called to he wild pokemon sincerely. She wanted to win this battle, but she didn't want to cause too much pain in the cheerful yanma.
She snapped back to attention when her opponent started flying towards Razel again with the move Pursuit.
"Razel, use Reflect!"
A light blue glow surrounded him for a few seconds, then faded until barely visible. After that, the sneasel adopted a defensive position, ready to meet the attack head-on.
Nathara knew that she could order her pokemon to dodge, but colliding with the Reflect screen might weaken the yanma. Of course, she had never battled before, so she didn't know exactly how this move acted. It was a risk, but one she felt confident in taking.

Yanma continued to fly at the Sneasel, seeing that the blue glow didn't seem to have an opening he could exploit. Reflect acted as a sponge to soak up most of the damage done by Pursuit, but didn't directly affect the insect too much; the sneasel's skin only felt slightly harder, and the Yanma easily bounced off of him.
He flew a little distance away, then took advantage of the Sneasel's lack of an attack that turn and Tackled him once more, closing the small distance between them with only a few beats of his insect wings.

The lack of effect to yanma was rather disappointing, and that slight feeling of failure compounded as Razel was tackled, unable to dodge an attack from such close range. He stumbled backwards a few paces, breathing heavily. Fortunately, the remnants of the Reflect screen had taken a small part of the damage before disappearing altogether. Nathara forced herself not to panic.
"Razel, use scratch again while he's still close by!"
The sneasel managed to regain his composure enough to launch another attack, as determined as ever to win his first fight.

The Yanma couldn't help but do a little twirl at the connection of the tackle. However, this distracted the bug Pokémon and when the scratch hit it's body in such a critical way, it couldn't help but shriek in pain.
Turning to face the Sneasel, a pained look in it's eyes and an obvious less joyous beating in it's wings, it flew straight at the male opponent in an attempt to hit with a tackle. However, a sense of genius struck the insect. Instead of a head on tackle, it made a sharp turn and tried to throw off Razel with a tackle instead to the side.

"Razel, dodge if you can!", Nathara called to her partner.
The sneasel complied, but at the last moment his opponent switched targets. The attack landed, but it wasn't as damaging as the previous tackle had been. It still hurt, and Razel winced. Nathara noticed this, and hoped that the battle would be finished soon.
"I think he's slowing down. Use Scratch again!"
Sensing himself that the end may be near, Razel threw himself into another strike.

(I'm sorry if this battle seems rather redundant...)

It was true. The Yanma was indeed slowing in speed, the constant scratch attacks were starting to damage the bug pokemon's biggest advantage and asset. It's wings. The tackle hit the Sneasel and at this point, the flying bug knew not to stay close after. After hitting, it continued to fly forward, successfully avoiding the scratch attack that was lunged after it.
With all the skills of an aerial acrobatic, Yanma did a half circle, flying upside for a moment before flipping and right itself. The wild pokemon hovered for a moment in place, assessing the situation, before it nodded to itself. It flew to get behind the dark type and charged towards it in a pursuit.

Nathara kept a close eye on the bug pokemon as it flew out of range of Razel's attack. The sneasel resumed a defensive position, and though he couldn't see Yanma, he heard the pokemon's buzzing as it flew behind him.
What was Nathara to do? Ordering her partner to dodge the yanma would become tiring for her poor pokemon if their opponent decided to continue the pursuit for any length of time. Reflect could be useful in this instance, but taking even a little more damage wouldn't be good right now. Just then, a simple, but hopefully effective tactic came to mind.
"Dodge, Razel, and then use scratch as he flies by!"
The order was given just in time. Razel stepped out of the way of the bug pokemon, reaching out his claws to hopefully scratch his wings as he flew by. The accuracy was low, and even if it did hit, the probability of doing a respectable amount of damage wasn't too great.
However, any action is better than none at all. At least in this case.

Time seemed to slow as Yanma continued to fly towards the back of his opponent. However, just as he was letting his guard down, expecting to land a successful hit, a call from the trainer caused the Sneasel to quickly sidestep and reach out his claws towards him. The bug, having no time to react to this quick motion, took the full force of the blow - the hard claws raked across his body, causing him to shriek in pain.
He flew away from the side of the dark pokemon, catching his breath. He could feel himself becoming dizzy with pain and exhaustion - however, the show must go on! Looking down back at the Sneasel, the buzzing dragonfly decided to descend once more and use what could be his last Tackle of the match, aiming straight for the Sneasel's gut.

The Scratch seemed to take all but the last dregs of her challenger's strength. The battle seemed over as the yanma hovered for a few seconds, looking exhausted, and Nathara began to pull a pokeball from her bag.
Then something happened that surprised both Razel and herself. In an admirable parting plow, the bug pokemon sent one last tackle at her sneasel. It was sloppy and didn't seem to have too much power behind it, but the utter disbelief that ran through both minds left no chance for blocking or dodging.
Razel reacted with another wince and a stumble backwards as the two bodies collided. He recovered quickly, however, and didn't need his trainer's order to know what to do next. He scratched once more at his admirable opponent.
::sneasel::
(Say, am I making Razel too strong for brushing off so many tackles? I'm not sure.)

{{ooc/ it's alright this time - just keep in mind that the two fighting are the same level and use common sense about how much damage they're taking.}}
Yanma attempted to fly backwards to dodge the coming scratch, but his exhaustion bested him and left him unable to fly too far. The sapphire pokemon's claws raked his body once more, destroying what energy was left in him. Too tired to go on with the battle, the Yanma descended to the ground - only able to cushion his fall slightly by a few small beats of his wings. His kaleidoscope eyes looked at the sky before closing against his wishes.
::yanma:: Yanma has fainted! Razel gains 1 level. Attempt a capture or move on?

Nathara breathed a sigh of relief. Truthfully, she hadn't expected the battle to last that long. In her mind, either the yanma or Razel were going to be down by the fourth or fifth turn. It was still exhilarating, and she finished producing one of her five empty pokeballs from it's pocket. She threw it, and stopped only to make sure it hit her intended tarket before making her way over to Razel.
He seems rather worn out by the battle, yet pleased with his victory. It was obvious he wasn't going to be fighting again for a little while though.
Assured that her partner wasn't in any immediate danger, she returned her focus to the pokeball she had thrown.

Yanma's fallen body was nudged a bit by the thrown pokeball - then, as the sphere detected pokemon's DNA coming in contact with it, it opened up to suck the fainted insect inside. Then, descending to the ground, the ball began to roll. Yanma considered leaving the ball for a few moments, not wanting to be confined for most of the time. However, the trainer and pokemon did seem like they would be good friends. He decided that the sphere would be his new home now.
The pokeball stopped rolling abruptly, fell silent for a few moments, and then emitted a loud noise to signify that a successful capture was made.
You obtained a Yanma!
