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.]

Comments

[savedtheworld]

I can't tell whether I'd love or be afraid of it. It'd be to try to ride a lot of them, but it sounds like a lot of them can be really dangerous. [He tries to un-remember Masaomi's comment about Pichu's potential power.]

[markofthebrave]

[Lightly:] That hasn't stopped you before.

[savedtheworld]

[He can't help but grin mischievously.]

You're right about that. They could make a fun new challenge.

[markofthebrave]

You just... might want to talk to Silver or Gold about it. They're probably protective of them.

[...okay, why is the monkey-thing glowing?]

[savedtheworld]

[A chuckle.] I'm not gonna try to ride their Pokemons without ask- wait, what's happening to the monkey?

[markofthebrave]

I don't know - I think he's glowing.

[Glowing never necessarily means... good things.]

[savedtheworld]

[Aang knows that full well. So there's some relief when the glowing stops, but he's still confused by the creature's new appearance.]

It... did it get another udder-tail?

[markofthebrave]

[...

...

...]

I think it did.

[What strange animals. o_O]

[savedtheworld]

None of the animals back home can do that... can they?

[markofthebrave]

Not that I know of.

[What even, seriously. o_o]

[savedtheworld]

And... did it just use those weird tails to knock out the... [He takes a second to remember the name he got from Green.] Sneasel?

[markofthebrave]

That's... what it looked like, yeah.

[savedtheworld]

Whoa, Katara, look at his new one! It looks like a crow with a hat! Oh... it's taken down the monkey [Already forgotten the name Green gave him...] already.

[markofthebrave]

...that is one crazy looking bird.

[savedtheworld]

It definitely shouldn't be allowed near Hawky.

[markofthebrave]

Definitely not.

[savedtheworld]

[He's silent now, intently watching the stand-off between the Murkrow and the newcomer, Politaro, wondering which way it's going to go.]

...Almost looks like a big frozen wood frog.

[markofthebrave]

...oh, that's a lot of ice.

[Nice use of ice.]

[savedtheworld]

Yeah those are some pretty columns. [Pause] And that weird bird just smashed through them... poor frog guy.

[markofthebrave]

Poor bird.

[She winced - cutting through all those ice columns had to hurt.

She watches it fly back and fist bump Silver.

...maybe not.]

...that bird is crazy.

[savedtheworld]

[He nods, impressed and frightened at the same time.]

Oh, good, he's taking the crazy bird back. Both of them need a good healing.

[markofthebrave]

[Katara just nods, wide-eyed.]

[savedtheworld]

[A pause while the new Pokemon come out.]

Oh. A big blue lizard and a fire-backed... something. Was that... electricity in its hands? [He spoke with mild concern.]

[markofthebrave]

I'm... not sure.

[HERE SHE IS BEING DUBIOUS AGAIN.]

Wow, look at them go.

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, they... are they Earthbending? They're really tearing the place apart...
