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.]

[This guy looks like he knows what he's talking about. Aang leans over towards him.]

Psst! What Pokeyman is that? [pointing to Sneasel.]

[cooltrainer]

That's Silver's Sneasel. It's an ice/dark type Pokémon, known for its high attack power and speed and its flimsy defenses.

The strategy with a sweeper like Sneasel is to take out the opponent before he has a chance to retaliate, using overwhelming force and speed.

[Aang nodded along.]

You really know a lot about them! What about the monkey one?

[cooltrainer]

That's an Aipom. Its tail is a prehensile third hand, able to deliver attacks more effectively than its real arms. It's a normal type.
