mischiefbreeder: (Let's settle this like real trainers!)

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

Who: Gold ([personal profile] mischiefbreeder) and Silver ([personal profile] 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.

[Uh-- huh?] Of course. You used it, did you not?

We kinda just... Improvised. [Aqua Jet. That's about what he thought it was called...]
infinitefrown: (what's that about guys with big hands..?)

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Improvised. [So, like... half of those moves he could name they just.. made up?! Like-- i dunno, Wild Charge?]

I see.... [WELL. That's pretty cool... except now Ingo feels like he knows even less about Johto than before. JOHTO HAS NO MOVES.] How much of that did you improvise? I recognized a majority of it as established moves.

[Good job distracting him, Silver. Ten points.]
tsuntrader: (Hmph.)

...I've never seen the electric Flare Blitz before. Feraligatr's... Water tail thing was new. Murkrow's Double-Edge turned into something new, too. [...] I don't think Gold knew that Aitaro could evolve. I know I didn't.
infinitefrown: please credit if taking! thanks. (that means you, tumblr rpers) (Default)

[Phew, that's a long list. Well, he'll start at the beginning, and when he gets to the end, he'll stop!]

The electric move was Wild Charge-- it works in the same way as Flare Blitz, as the user sustains damage as well. Aqua Tail is a common move for Water-types to utilize-- it can also be learned by non-water types, but more rarely. I suspect Murkrow used the flying-type move Brave Bird-- which is, like Wild Charge, similar to Flare Blitz.

And Gold's Aitaro-- Aipom-- evolved into Ambipom, also a normal type. Its evolution is specific in that it must know Double Hit before it can evolve-- hence its tail. I've known Ambipom to be quite formidable in battle, so his evolution is to be congratulated.

[...] Incidentally, were you aware that Murkrow and Sneasel have evolutions, as well?

[Huh, okay, Brave Bird, Wild Charge, Ambipom, Aqua Tail, those all sound about-]



What?

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Welp. Looks like that's a "no."]

Murkrow and Sneasel. They evolve into Honchkrow and Weavile, respectively.
tsuntrader: (What the-)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[3, 2, 1-]

What conditions do they need for their evolutions? An item? Through trade? A certain move? An area? [Tell him more]
infinitefrown: ▼△ <user name=lommy> (yes. my sideburns are pure steel.)

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah-hah-hah. Oh, youth's eagerness.]

Items, for both. Sneasel requires a Razor Claw while training at night; Murkrow must hold a Dusk Stone.

[He folds his arms, thoughtful.] By chance, that is the same stone that is used to evolve Chandelure's previous forms. I had some of the stones on hand for such evolutions, but I can't say if they arrived at Luceti with me...
tsuntrader: (...oh)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
...Then they might show up in the future... [Maybe. Probably. Hopefully. ...Will that just make his bird even more crazy...?]
infinitefrown: (passivity)

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
With any luck. I'll let you know if I happen upon either of the items. [Hopefully they will. ...No promises on that second one though. Crazykrow is probably imminent.]
tsuntrader: (Hmph.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
...If you do, there's gotta be something I can do for you to earn them. There's no way I'll just take them for free. [...There is one other way to get those items, too...]
infinitefrown: (what's that about guys with big hands..?)

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.] The items wouldn't be of use to me here [unless Chandelure hooked up with a Ditto] so you would be welcome to them, Silver.

[But Silver seems the stubborn won't-take-no-for-an-answer kinda guy, so Ingo does ponder it a moment.] I would, perhaps, ask for a one-on-one battle following your Pokémon's evolution, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the, ah... strongly hands-on type of battling style you used. [It looks like serious business and not to be trifled with or asked for...]
tsuntrader: (...Right.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm not really familiar with anything else. [Sure, he could probably tone it down, but...]

Was it really that hands on?

infinitefrown: (UH HUH......)

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well-- as I first mentioned, riding one's Pokémon into the fray isn't quite the standard of battle behavior in my experience. [Is it a Johto thing? Well-- he's battled Johto trainers in the past and they seemed pretty tame... so maybe it's just Silver and Gold?!

No, Ingo. This is one of those universe differences. Stop trying to make sense of it.]
tsuntrader: (Hmph.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
But being right in the battle with your Pokémon is the best way to do it. It helps with timing, precision, observations, decision making, being completely in sync with your Pokémon, getting a better understanding of the battle... [Burned? Singed from electric attacks? Soaked, muddy, exhausted, battered, bruised, and a little bloody? The side effects of battling the way he does don't occur to him in the slightest. That is the most bizzare universe difference he could possibly...

Well, no, he could think of plenty of weirder things. Like, you know, universes where Pokédexes are as common as newspapers. Or universes where there aren't any Pokémon at all.]

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, who'da thought there were worlds sans Pokémon? That was just crazy talk...]

Hmm. [He has a point. It's still plenty dangerous, but...] That is true. I suppose it depends on your tolerance for physical strain. And it certainly adds the element of a Trainer's ability to keep up...

[It's definitely more survivalist than the sporty battles of the gameverse world.]
tsuntrader: (Whatever.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. Pokémon training isn't just about training your Pokémon. It's about training yourself, too. [...Right? Surely he's heard of this stuff...]

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. [He can agree with that!] However, as I know it, it is more in the mental and emotional sense for most, rather than physical. This allows for more people [read: kindergartners and sickly rich boys] to try their hand at battling, but to a little less of the effect you mention, I suppose.
tsuntrader: (...Right.)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[...But little kids and sickly boys still do this crazy stuff anyway. ...Then again, he doesn't know much about people outside of his friends.

...Wait a minute.]
Would training with you count as a payment? [One. Track. Mind.]
tsuntrader: (the fuck is this)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
...Then again, that would be more of you teaching me... [Which. Would be pretty damn cool. ...But it doesn't solve their problem.]

[Training? Well-- having a training partner would actually be pretty awesome. It gets kinda dull training by yourself all the time. And okay, Silver-training will probably be similar to this battle, which will be... interesting, but Ingo can still learn new things!! He can totally try to ride Haxorus or whatever...!]

It can most certainly count, and teaching you is but a part of training. [Training is a two-way street and all that!] I would be more than happy to, Silver.
tsuntrader: (...oh)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...Really? [Can today get any better?]
infinitefrown: (adjustments)

[personal profile] infinitefrown 2012-05-21 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course. [He nods.] I don't see why not. It's been some time since I've trained with another, so the opportunity is welcome.
tsuntrader: (Big sis)

[personal profile] tsuntrader 2012-05-21 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nod nod holy shit he's going to train with a cool knowledgeable adult.]
