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.]

[ Dawn's initial alarm of being in a place she had not been when she went to sleep is totally washed away by OH WOW A POKEMON BATTLE feelings. never mind that she has no bloody clue what's going on or anything. this battle is clearly more important! she's still wearing her New Feather dress, even!

in a minute she'll remember why she was alarmed in the first place, but for now there's only Pokemon battles. ]

[moehealer]

[Oh, that's an unfamiliar face...! Which.. is no wonder since it looks like that girl is in a New Feather dress, so... Yellow's just gonna go walk on over to Dawn, who happens to look rather intent on watching this battle!]

Oh, hi there!

[barrette]

[ she immediately turns her attention to Yellow with a friendly smile. oh, that's right, there are other watchers! ]

Hi!

[moehealer]

[She gives Dawn a smile in return, and Chuchu, who is standing at her feet, waves.]

You look really interested in this.

[barrette]

[ oh gosh what a cute pikachu! ]

I love watching Pokemon battles!

[moehealer]

[...Oh! If she knows what they are, then..]

Oh, do you come from a world with Pokémon too?

[barrette]

Of course! [ a surprised blink! ] Doesn't everyone?

[moehealer]

Huh? [...Oh. Right. New Feather dress!] Oh um... Not here, no.. There are people from all kinds of worlds here, so..

[barrette]

What kind of worlds?

[rashness]

[Rin is actually flailing when it tied. A tie was perfect as a final there, but it was also a letdown. In the course of his flailing his body and his tail are both going every which way and he's tripping backwards on his legs groaning out some sort of thing...


...And his 5'8 ass is going to back right into Dawn]

[barrette]

[ Dawn is disappointed herself when it ends in a tie, though she isn't flailing about like Rin. her mind is occupied with a quick review of the battle, memorizing their styles, and unfortunately that means she's not paying any attention to what's happening around her, and when he trips back into her, well...

all five feet of her stumble a few steps before she falls down on her butt with a squeak and a startled look on her face. ]

Oof!

[rashness]

[At least he didn't land on top of her, that would be straight RomCom. Instead, he just lands a bit off to herleft, faceplanting on them eta floor and thus probably in view to see certain things if he was like that. He is not though, and thus groans, holding his head because wow that smarted]

Sorry, sorry- I hit something?

[barrette]

You hit me.

[ she sits upright and straightens her dress so it isn't crumpled up. ]

You didn't hit your head too hard, did you?

[rashness]

I-- [CRAP. He bows himself despite being on his butt here]

Sorry!

[barrette]

It's okay!

[ nooooo Rin, don't bow! ]

Are you hurt at all?

[rashness]

Oh, yeah, 'course. [BUT ARE YOU] Are you?

[barrette]

Mm-hmm, I'm fine!

[ she rocks onto her knees and reaches over to pat him on the shoulder. ]

[infinitefrown]

[huh-- that outfit. New girl? She looks pretty absorbed in the battle, though, enough to make her looks like she knows something-- so maybe she's another Trainer herself.

Ingo will go ahead and approach her after the battle, when she's less preoccupied.]

You seemed pretty engrossed there, Miss. [Enough to ignore the fact that you just arrived at the middle of nowhere, apparently....]

[barrette]

[ everything is battles and nothing hurts, even when dropped in an unfamiliar location!

she looks over and then up (way up, how can you be so tall, Ingo). ]

A good battle always gets my attention!

[infinitefrown]

[(because genetics.... sob, he's over a foot taller than her.)]

Ah, good. You've seen them before, then. Good to see more Trainers here.

[...don't bother explaining yourself or anything, ingo]

[barrette]

Who hasn't?

[ she looks surprised for a few seconds before looking even more surprised! ]

Oh, right! Where is here?

[infinitefrown]

[Ah, yes. There we go.]

You're in Luceti, Miss. [Giving the welcome speech is so awkward...] It's an [..."enclosure" sounds a bit too scary right off] area filled with people from many different worlds.

Some of these worlds haven't had experience with Pokémon; hence my approach.

[barrette]

[ que ]

How... How did I get here?

[infinitefrown]

[lo siento...]

Ah, as to that.... [welp] I can't say I can fully answer that. [There's the Malnosso people and all that jazz, but as to how exactly she got there, he's not sure... Uh....] You may be able to get a better explanation from the guide that may have shown up with you...

[...Come to think of it, did she get a journal when she showed up, too?...]

[barrette]

You mean you don't know?

Guide? You mean that book?
