Pokémon battle! And we'll see who is the better trainer! And we'll see who has the bigger Pokéballs!

[mischiefbreeder]

Who: Gold (mischiefbreeder) and Silver (tsuntrader), plus any spectators!
What: Silver issued a battle challenge to Gold, who accepted.
When: Saturday afternoon
Where: The Battle Dome
Summary: Gold and Silver have been in Luceti together for a year and yet have never had a single Pokémon battle. Deciding it's time to rectify, they head off to the Battle Dome to throw down!
Rating: PG? I mean, it's Pokémon...
[Gold had been anxiously waiting for this day. Sure, the standard format for Pokémon battles involved just battling whenever your eyes meet, but if they did that, there'd be constant battles all day, every day. Therefore, these things had to be planned.

...Besides that, Silver was his rival. Always has been, always will be. That makes this battle special. A battle to settle old scores... No, a battle to determine who's the best trainer out of the two of them, and furthermore... To show everyone just how it's done.

It was time. Their battle lies ahead.]

[...He's actually very, very tempted to agree, but he knows they would want to let this settle until he's positive they need to be helped. He holds up a hand for her]

[generalflirt]

Ah.. [...] I guess there would be an equalizer needed, after all.

[generalflirt]

It's hard to ignore her mood that much. [With a little sheepish smile. Linda on his shoulder nods. Damn skippy]

[barrette]

I'm glad you're okay too!

My name is Dawn. What's yours?

[barrette]

Really?

[ oh boy! ]

Do you know their name?

[markofthebrave]

[Katara frowns at that hand. One of these days, she foresees a serious discussion about orders and the giving of them, especially to her.

But at that point, the boys start to get up.]

[moehealer]

Linda.. You mean Masaomi's Pichu? Did they not get along?

[moehealer]

Umm... [Hmm... It's been a while, and she hadn't really gotten to meet the boy. Just his Torterra, which Yellow talked with.] His name was Dia, I think. He had a um... Torterra.

[tsuntrader]

[...]

[tsuntrader]

...It's up to them. You can go ahead and ask when they're healed up.

[shamelessness]

A-all right. Should... I leave you alone now?

[You probably need to recover.]

[barrette]

Dia... Hmm, I can't say the name rings a bell.

[ she's a little disappointed, but it's still good to know there was someone here from sinnoh at some point! ]

Thanks for telling me, Yellow.

[shamelessness]

[And when it's over Shiemi and her skarmory accost Silver, but they'll be back after bothering him. This is... where Shiemi talks to Skarmy one-on-one.]

Did you see that, Skarmy? We'll have to get just as good as that one day. Are you ready?

[generalflirt]

[...

...You know he didn't think of that]

[shamelessness]

Not really... Skarmy likes to taunt... everybody.

[savedtheworld]

He's right outside the battle dome!

[generalflirt]

Oooh, that's a good question. [He leans back, rocking on his heels deep in thought]

[endgames]

[Aang's enthusiasm more or less seals it. He hopes the doesn't cost much, not that he was saving for anything...]

I dunno. I've never tried. [But it's clear the idea doesn't bother him. It doesn't eat it eat it, Katara, gosh. He cups his chin.] I could test it here, but it'd take too long to get anything out of it. I'd be better off trading in points for the paper.

[endgames]

Suuure. Blame it all on her.

[He's not just teasing. It was a good insight into what - he thinks? - the both of them are wanting to achieve for themselves, with some tweaks for Masaomi's different style. Shikamaru grins.]

Still. It was very cool.

[savedtheworld]

[He finds himself remembering the swamp again, with its giant tree that Aang was able to tap into.]

There are some pretty weird trees out there. But I think I can understand how they can connect to the energy inside us. I hope it's not too much of a trouble to get some of that paper.

[tsuntrader]

Could you show me? [What injuries, what other people. There's a fuzzy flying thing nearby.]

[markofthebrave]

[She's still sitting on the fence here.]

[moehealer]

[She nods, smiling] You're welcome, Dawn!

So.. What kind of Pokémon do you have?

[cooltrainer]

The first time will come based on her trust in you. The second is from an item called a Thunder Stone, which evolves it into a Raichu.

[He'll withdraw his Pokédex and pull up Raichu's entry for Masaomi to look at.]

[moehealer]

Ohh.. Really? Well.. Gold did raise the eggs, so... [...somehow she's not surprised.]
