Aegwynn retrieves her faithful companion from her belt, the one that's been with her since the beginning, "Stjarna...do your best!" she said as she let her pokeball fly.

"Stjarna, let loose! Bubblebeam!" Aegwynn shouted, the star spinning to life as it flew through the air in a manner stars ought not to, its illuminating core flashing brightly as it unleashed a torrent of bubbles towards the Mankey that had climbed the turnbuckle, taking advantage of its height in the air as it lashed out at the simian!

"Good Job! Keep it up! Don't let it get to you, remember the drills from this morning!" she yelled out, the excitement, the fire of the battle getting to her as she did her best to encourage Stjarna, reminding it of the Agility Training drills they had run through this morning.

Point of Order,

When your character levels up and gains a new edge or feature or anything else, please note the addition to your sheet either in an OOC spoiler here, or in the OOC thread.

2nd, as a reminder

A Full Switch takes a Standard Action, the switch may be initiated by either a Pokémon on the Field or a Trainer. This prevents EITHER the Pokémon from attacking prior to the switch (but lets it move into recall range if needed) OR prevents the Trainer from taking a standard action to give orders and the like.

So, if a Pokemon used it's standard action to switch out, it would still eat the trainer's SHIFT action to release a new pokemon.

Spoiler: Ken:

Aria bludgeons the water mouse to the dirt, and the kid runs out onto the court, sniffling. "Bubbles, are you okay!?" He collapses around his unconscious pokemon, not yet bawling, but working up to it.

The courts are still pretty busy, busy enough that not too many people are noticing the bawling kid. You could probably find another opponent if you wanted.

That strange breeze carries a whispered reply. Chump Change...

The terms must be agreeable, as the hooded trainer lobs a pokeball into the court and a jagged purple shadow with a gaping mouth, disembodied hands, and malicious eyes emerges to challenge Tazer.

She balled up her fists, thrusting one in the air, "Great work, Stjarna! Keep it up!

"Way to go Gramps!" Tyson cheers.

"C'mere my lucky lady! You were great!" Tyson says to his Tranquill, catching her in his arms as she descends towards him. "You two did really well on the court today! We still have a lot to work on when it comes to speed but if you two keep battling like you did today it won't take long." He says looking between the grey bird in his arms and yellow mouse on his shoulder. "Take a break alright Roulette?"

OOC: Roulette used Roost!

Bryce shakes his head, "You guys are too much. ha ha, I should've dragged Marie over here."

Tyson simply smiles as he walks over to Bryce and holds out a hand. "It was a great battle regardless! Besides, your friend looked like she was enjoying herself. I can imagine how hard a lumberjacks job could be so I wouldn't wanna disturb her while she's resting ya know?" He finishes with a laugh.

Tyson pulls out his pokedex with a free hand and offers to exchange contact information with Bryce.

"If we cross paths again and you're looking to trade or battle pokemon I'd be up for it! Oh and sorry about that Razor Leaf... my Ivysaur really likes battles."

He is caught a little off guard by the kid though. “Let’s go give them a hand guys.” He whispers to his two partner Pokémon.

As he walks up to the kid and Bubbles, he takes a potion from his bag, kneeling down and spraying the water mouse. “Here this will help them feel better in a little while.” He offers a handshake to the kid. “My name’s Ken, you two are pretty awesome though! Going to make a great combination. Want to watch a few more battles to observe and learn some maneuvers?” Ken will wait for the kid’s response.

Regardless if the response, he will next approach the older woman in the dress. “Hello ma’am, would it be alright if we had a battle real quick? I’m trying to get some practice in before taking on the gym tomorrow.”

Bryce shrugs. "The Riverbanks are popular this time of year with fishermen and swimmers alike. If you've got enough Badges, you can take a tour of the Power Plant and most people seem to come back with good electric types." He pauses, "Oh, and there's the crazy guy who lives north of town.

"Let's find a place to set up camp and get some shut-eye. Gotta get up early if we're gonna keep up the pace we set. I figured if we left here a little earlier than usual that would give us some more time to snag few pokemon while we're traveling over the mountain. How's that sound?"

Zippo mimics Ken’s response. “This will actually be my first gym badge battle ma’am. I’m afraid I have to decline my own request on this. I may need to look for someone a little, closer to my level of experience. I’m sorry for troubling you though.” He bows. “Thank you though ma’am!”

He considers approaching another trainer but realizes he can’t actually wager. “Yeah most would want to wager on a battle, gotta wait to get paid though....” His voice trails off in thought. He decides to approach the guy in the karate gi. “Excuse me, would you mind having a training battle real quick?

You're woken before dawn by the ambient bustle of several people breaking down their campsites, and not caring to be quiet for the sake of those still sleeping.

Lucille is sitting on a picnic table, staring intently at the dirt 5 feet in front of her. She has that look in her eye again.

Using the ambient noise as a queue Tyson is early to rise and quickly packs up any belongings before heading over to his traveling companion.

Something's got her worked up...

"Hey! Enjoy your sleep?" Tyson asks as he approaches the picnic table. "Uh... You alright? Something's got you fired up right? I can see it in your eyes." He smiles.

After hearing out her response he continues.

"I'm gonna grab Kasumi from the Center and knock out our training behind the courts. I'll try to keep it quick if you've already finished training with your roster."

Tyson does as he described and departs from the Pokemon Center with his starter in tow. He immediately releases her from her pokeball once outside.

OOC: If possible Tyson would speak with Nurse Joy and try to procure enough provisions for himself and his team to last an additional 2 days on their journey over Mt.Moon, paying out of pocket if necessary.

"How's my favorite frog monster feeling?" He takes a knee and pets his Frogadier. "That was a nasty hit you took yesterday, but because of you we were able to take out their first two pokemon and win that battle. So thank you Kasumi, couldn't have done it without ya!" He lifts the Frogadier into a hug. "So... I've been givin' it some thought and I wanted to ask you somethin'. Would you want to help me win our next Gym Badge?" Tyson points at the Ki Badge on his scarf and then to a spot next to it.

If Kasumi responds positively he continues. "Then it's settled! Ready for special training?"

Once around the Pokemon Center Tyson will release his team to train. Before he begins he speaks to Sunny.

"Hey Sunshine." He softly ruffles the fur between her ears and straightens it out. "I figured I should tell you this before we went any further..." Tyson takes in a deep breath as he kneels and exhales. Looking the Braixen in the eyes he continues, "So... I couldn't find out who your trainer was or where they are currently." Tyson pulls out Sunny's Level Ball and shakes his head. "The only options I had were to give you away or to take you with me. As you can see you're still here now, which leads me to my next question: Do you wanna come with me?"

"Like I said, I don't know who or where your trainer is but I wanna help you find'em. If you do decide to come along with us you should know that it might be a while before we find who you're looking for. I will ask you to train and I will ask you to fight with us..." Tyson looks over to where Vile and Makoto are "playing" and smiles. "but you have my word that I will show the same kindness to you that I try to show to each and every one of my own pokemon." Tyson offers an open hand, palm facing up, to Sunny.

"So will you come with me?" he asks the yellow fox.

Slight time warp for conversation....
As Lennox approaches him between talking to potential opponents, Ken is a little surprised. “Lennox right? It’s actually Ken.” As the kid is mentioned, Ken looks a bit dejected. “Yeah saw he was nervous and figured I’d try to help ease him into being a trainer. Didn’t go as well as hoped.” He offers a handshake to Lennox. “Yeah that’s my next planned opponent. Would have offered to battle you if I’d known you were coming!” He laughs a bit. “Good luck, have fun other Bully.” Ken waves as he goes to approach the martial artist.

"Thanks Jim," Casandra says, taking the wad of bills. She stuffs them in the front pocket of her pants. "I'll stop by if I come to town again. Have a good day!"

On her way back to the Center she will stop by the Mart and buy 10 Basic Pokeballs, then head to the Center to heal up Yojimbo. While her ghostly sword is being healed, she switches out the Turtwig in her party for her newest capture, Elekid.

She'll release the Elekid outside the Center with Raum. "Hey buddy," she says, getting down on the yellow and black pokemon's level. "That was quite the fight we had earlier. You're strong. Once one of my other pokemon is healed, I'm going to the Gym. I hope you want to come with me. I want to show you that if you stick with me, I can make you even stronger."

Once Yojimbo is healed, she then heads to the gym.

Ken:
The Martial Artist steps up to his spot on the court and lobs a pokeball into the ring. A headless, brown humanoid with eyes near it's shoulders and slits for nostrils near it's navel emerges. It bobs on springy legs and flings itself forward into a rolling dive that brings it right up to Gin. It carries it's momentum forward into a kick with both legs right into Gin's hissing jaws.

Enemy ??? used Rolling Kick! Gin takes 40 Fighting Damage vs. Defense!

Gin has initiative!

Lennox:

Scanning the area, a few of the trainers stand out. There's a kid, probably about Ken's age, in faded jeans and a charcoal grey shirt, with a faded hat standing off, watching an ongoing battle. There's a pretentious old guy in a suit looking around. On the opposite side of the courts, some punk has taken up a whole bench, staring up at the sky with a cigarette poking up out his lips.

This time the torrent washes over the mienfoo, leaving it hobbling, and barely able to throw an attack Stjarna's way.

Morning...

"Just thinking about my roster, who I wanna take into the mountains." She offers distantly.

ooc: You successfully acquire some freeze-dried, long shelf life rations.

Kasumi seems pumped, and eager to battle when you speak with her. Sunshine looks at you with distant eyes, but seems somehow... warmer, than your previous interactions (and thankfully, not literally)

Lucille tells you she woke early and trained already, so as soon as you're done with your team, you set off towards Mt. Moon

The pace Lucille sets is, grueling, to say the least. Once you reach the mountain, you detour from the tunnel that passes through to Cerulean and begin to climb, there isn't a trail, just slightly lesser inclines that crawl up further up the rock face. you manage to cut up your knees and hands pretty good climbing past rocks and the like when the loose path you follow disappears entirely.

ooc: Suffer your choice of the following.
1 Injury
have 2 CS of your choice set to -1 until your next rest.

Spoiler: Pass:

The pace Lucille sets is grueling, to say the least, but you're more than able to keep up with her, and while you're quickly a lot dustier than when you started, and pick up a few scrapes, you manage to avoid serious injury.

Spoiler: 18+

Lucille moves fast, but climbing Mt. Moon is nothing compared to the Shinobi Endurance Training that Koga would put you and other acolytes through. You nimbly move from boulder to boulder without incident.

Lucille, a bit too focused on moving quickly and scanning for pokemon rather than scanning the ground at her feet, manages to turn her ankle about 2 hours into the trip... it doesn't seem to slow her down much. The only indication you have that it's bothering her is every so often a rock will skid away from her feet and she'll hiss in pain.

You pass several geodude as you ascend, most of them are content to lounge in the sun after seeing that you are a mere fleshy creature.

it's near lunch time when an echoing roar draws your attention away from where you're putting your feet. A massive boulder-serpent writhes and smashes itself against the mountainside. It's ravages throw up clouds of grit and rumble through the earth, you can faintly make out a handful of smaller pokemon scampering about on it's body. Whatever's going on, it's thankfully several hundred yards away.

You find the gym without incident. It looks... New? Like it'd recently been renovated. There is a large set of boxing gloves molded over the front doors, and in the courtyard are three big statues, twice as tall as you, at least. A Machamp, a Sawk, and a Hitmonchan. There's a nice big sign that reads

WELCOME TO PEWTER CITY GYM
OUR POKEMON PACK A PUNCH!

Inside, you are overcome with the nauseating combined stench of disinfectant, seat, and body odor. This gym is, literally, a gym. Pokemon and trainers are working with weights, sparring with each other, and attacking punching bags and dummy targets all around. Almost all of the trainers are wearing martial artist gi's. There is a receptionist... sort of. A large, burly, lantern jawed, fellow with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth sits behind the front desk. He's wearing a tight fitting red tank-top and dark blue sweatpants.

He looks up at you and growls. "Whatcha need? Come to train?"

Aegwynn winced a little as she watched the Mienfoo limp around the ring, not able to really fight back. She knew though that this was the nature of the sport. Pokemon battles will take their toll on their participants, even Stjarna is sporting a scuff where it had been smacked straight in the jewel, but that intrepid star has really given a great show. It's spun around, maneuvering around its foes and delivering strike after unrelenting strike. The moment of truth lay in her palms as she turned to her beloved Stjarna, "Stjarna. You've been absolutely magnificent, and your foes have all been fantastic combatants as well. It's time we wrap it up, don't you think? Bubblebeam!" The starfish's limbs stiffened, spinning into position before letting loose yet another one of those torrential bubblebeams.

Stjarna lets loose a Bubblebeam at the enemy Mienfoo!
Attack Roll: 7
Damage Roll: 42 Water Damage vs. Special Defense

Aegwynn, not wanting to take any chances, still told her Staryu to be on its guard, the starfish spinning side to side, doing its best to recall its drilling.

Aegwynn issued Agility Training as an Order. Stjarna gains +2 EVA.

As the Pokémon appears, Ken is surprised. “Ok I haven’t seen anything like that before.” Gin hisses a shriek as his jaw is hit by the kick. He turns back to face the opponent, tail twitching. “Alright Gin, lets show him what you got!”

Gin rears back his head and lobs a poison dart from his maw at the Pokémon. In fact, it looks like it took a heavier hit than it did.

Gin uses Poison Sting!
To Hit: 19
Damage: 20 Poison v Def
OOC: Opponent is now poisoned.

Ken activates Chronicler.
Records Rolling Kick, 3/5 Battle AP remains.
