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.]

[rashness]

Yeah! This is way exciting, actually!

[...More than demons? different than demons, less life or death involved]

[kickingcatcher]

Glad you like it! I could teach you with my Pokemon sometime. It's a LOT more exciting to be in the battle.

[rashness]

Oh yeah, I know! I fought some before. A big bug thing.

[kickingcatcher]

A big bug... did it have a stinger?

[rashness]

Uh. If it did it never used it. It has swords for arms.

[kickingcatcher]

With swords for arms? Hm... I don't know if I've seen a Pokemon like that. can you give me any other details?

[rashness]

Big... bug wings? Stood on two legs? [...What was it called, the dude who picked it up told him the name.]

[kickingcatcher]

--oh! You mean a Scyther? Those are sickles at the ends of his arms.

[rashness]

[How is a sickle as all different than a sword. Whatever] Yeah, that! That was fun.

[kickingcatcher]

[Because sickles are curved, swords aren't.] Mhm, Pokemon battles are great. Whose Scyther was it, though?

[rashness]

Uh... what was his name? Tracey?

[kickingcatcher]

Tracey...? He doesn't sounds familiar.

[rashness]

Well then I guess you don't know 'em.

[kickingcatcher]

Guess not.

But if you find battles this great, I could teach you how to battle sometime.

[rashness]

What do you mean teach me how? I fight plenty.

[kickingcatcher]

No no, I mean with Pokemon.

[rashness]

But I don't got Pokemon. I've fought a few myself, if that counts?

[kickingcatcher]

You can use mine, if you like.

[rashness]

[...] Really?

[kickingcatcher]

Yeah! They're pretty strong and reliable, so they'd be willing to. Right, guys? [She turns to them, and they all nod in agreement.]

[rashness]

That... might be pretty cool, yeah. [Weird and pointless, but sort of cool]

[kickingcatcher]

I'm always glad to teach more people about Pokemon. Just tell me when a good time for you would be.

[rashness]

I... dunno? Whenever you have time, I guess? I mean I'm only... [...working at Seventh Heaven. Training. Nothing else. He bites his cheek and then thinks better of getting caught up in that, shaking his head]

[kickingcatcher]

... only what? [She's a bit curious about this.]

[rashness]

Only... only nothing. I'm not doing a lot, I'm pretty open.
