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.]

I've been using them in conjunction with her---

[...Wait, he can hear a faint Pii. Linda's screaming in her ball. He sighs, takes it out and releases her onto his shoulder. She wants in on the chat]

[endgames]

[Fair enough.]

Ask her what she thinks on that.

[generalflirt]

[...Okay the two of them pull into a conversation now. It's one mostly of facial expressions, as per usual. He's asking her, and his head is away from Shikamaru, but to some up the meaning of what Linda says (though how much he can get is debatable):

"I don't actually mind and it's neat that you're thinking of those things but come on it's stupid I could take those gyaradoses easily without you investing in that little knife and chain trick, gosh. Idiot! I'm way way stronger than you're giving me credit for! Hmph!"]

[endgames]

[Abridged version to Shikamaru:

Linda, you are so tsun. But she's either helping his point or completely obliterating it.]

[generalflirt]

[Okay some more chatting and---]

...She doesn't mind it but she thinks it's unnecessary.

[endgames]

Because you have her.

[generalflirt]

That's the case, yeah.

[endgames]

Even if you're fine with it, Linda, that's kinda the point.

[Because she's a show-off, he knows. She's awesome and she knows it, and if it goes on exactly like this, that isn't going to help their teamwork one bit.]

[generalflirt]

I'm using them supplement- [Pii pii interrupt! and they are being pulled into another conversation]

[endgames]

[He would like subtitles for this conversation.]

[generalflirt]

[Yes there's a bit more going on until finally she sighs and he sighs in tandem]

Sheeee, well. Okay we got it.

[endgames]

Pray tell, what's the exciting conclusion?

[generalflirt]

I'll hold off on it with her, make sure she's powerful enough I won't need them. Her power's enormous, after all.

[endgames]

[Good on the both of them. This teamwork thing is working out well. Shikamaru smirks to himself.]

I remember.

[Just because that shot in the mountains didn't hit him doesn't mean it hadn't come close.]

[generalflirt]

So we're agreed, basically.

[Nod. There. Done with that one?]

[endgames]

For now. Let's see how this goes.

[And done.]
