Welcome to Alternia!
The sun was shining brightly, high above in a clear blue sky, beutifully outlining the endless field of plants in the orchard you were in. Birdsong could be heard all about, though the only visible trace of the pokemon themselves was a few unidentifiable feathers. Dead leaves crunched noisily beneath your feet as you walked along a thin, overgrown pathway. A light breeze was starting to stir up dust and leaves. It wasn't long before you came to a small clearing with a very strong odor, presumably coming from a nearby, very rotten old tree.

As soon as you came near said tree, a light growl could be heard, brimming with hostility. You would seem to have disturbed some small, sleeping pokemon. A Velix leapt from a hole in the side of the bark that appeared to be utterly too small for it. Its fur and spines stood fully erect as it arched its back, hissing and growling menacingly. It manaed to make itself look very frightening for such a small pokemon.

Sammy grinned as he walked along his chosen path, noting the sounds, the smells, the sights of a perfect place to relax. That was his original plan, find a nice place to prop up and take a good long nap with Baruki. He sighed and let Baruki the Tyrogue out of his pokeball, the little fighting Pokémon appearing in a flash of light, "Baruki, howsabout we head up a bit more and find a comfortable place for a snack and a nap?" He asked his Pokémon. Baruki nodded and they started walking forward.

Baruki stopped a foot in front of Sammy and held his arms out to stop his trainer. He looked around until sammy noticed the growling noice as well. Baruki backed up, pushing Sammy away from the rotting log, when a Pokémon appeared. Sammy grinned and pulled out his Pokedex and aimed it at the Pokémon, getting all the information he needed from it.

"It would seem we have a bit of a challenge here Baruki, first and foremost is, catching a new Pokémon would be cool, second is you'll get a good bit of experience, much better then a nap," Sammy said, his eyes glowing in anticipation. "Ok baruki, here is the plan, i want you to use Focus then Staredown, Followed by Fakeout, try to dodge whatever he throws at you, and for peats sake DONT get poisoned, thats all we need." Sammy said and Baruki nodded and prepared to start the battle off with a quick and decisive win.

You and your Pokemon were united against her with a seemingly formidable strategy. All she had to her name was her wits, but she wasn't going to back down. This was her home, and to her the two of you were intruders that needed to be chased off. You gave your orders, and Baruki prepared to carry them out. The fight was on!

The Tyrogue's first instruction was to Focus. Which seemed simple in and of itself, but there was a small problem. What, exactly, was he supposed to be Focusing on? You had not supplied that information, and so he decided to skip it and move on to the Staredown. The Velix stopped in her tracks and matched his intense glare for as long as she could, until she was finally so annoyed by his stall tactics that she proceeded anyway.

That was when Baruki used Fake Out - or, I should say, attempted Fake Out. The move in question was designed to start battles, and was ineffective once other attacks had already taken place. As such, despite the little Fighting-type's speed as he rushed forward, the Velix saw through your Pokemon's tactics and countered by raking her claws across his abdomen in a Scratch attack, followed by Tackling him back a few feet. It seemed this Velix was a seasoned battler and wouldn't be taken down, much less captured, so easily.

Sammy smacked his face, noting the two mistakes he had made that last turn. "Ok, well that didnt work out as well as i had liked, but that my fault." He said to baruki and grinned at the Velix. "Nicely played, nive way to take advantage of an obvious lack of defense. This time, though, its our turn." He said and looked at Baruki. Ok use focus, focusing on increasing your strength then use staredown again. Make sure to keep yourself at least 10 feet from the Velix and move when she moves." He said and grinned. This time he was certain things would work in his favor. He was hoping to Get Velix's defenses down another stage, as well as hoping to increase his attack by one stage. It may not be a lot, but if he continues to do it like that, lowerig one then the other he could have a sizable advantage and take Velix out easily.

He sighed and closed his eyes, feeling the exileration of being in his first battle with Tyrogue. He loved the rush of adrenline as it coursed through his body, leaving him with an odd sense of serenity. He looked at his opponent and a sense of Admiration started to form. This pokemon had absolutely no fear of him or Baruki and she was more then ready to defend her home against intruders. Sammy chuckled slightly, "Well i have to admit, your one hell of a pokemon. Strong, confident with no issues with fighting. I have to say i admire that about you, its kinda sad that Baruki and i have to beat you, but i would love having you on my team and if that meens knocking you out to achieve that goal then so be it." He stated and nodded to Baruki to start the round.

The Velix grinned right back at you, pleased that you were up to the challenge. Many trainers before you had happened across her and gotten annoyed that she seemed to outwit every strategy they possessed when trying to capture her. It was nice to meet a human who was so friendly, one that even went as far as to compliment her, especially in a time where most trainers simply noticed her part Psychic-type and decided she was probably worth their time. "Velix li lix vee!" she replied, and although you couldn't translate her words directly, it was pretty clear that she meant something along the lines of 'don't disappoint me!'

Aww, how cute! You guys had some kind of friendly rivalry now.

However, Tyrogue wasn't going to disappoint you this time. It was hard not to keep his eye on his foe at all times, but he knew Focusing would help him more than it would detract from the battle. So he closed his eyes for a moment, pondering all the sinew and tendons in his arms. Any boost in strength would be helpful against this opponent, who had an innate advantage over him to start with, being part Psychic. However, she did have Normal blood in her, which gave him confidence that he could prove himself against her.

Meanwhile, the Velix merely circled him, unsure of what he was preparing to do. She'd never Focused before, otherwise she might have recognized it. Cautiously, she watched him, somewhat startled when he suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared fiercely at her once more. However, she wasn't going to be made a fool of just yet. Playfully, she raised a paw and swished her tail in a cute manner. Tyrogue wasn't expecting this at all from such a tomboy wannabe, and lost some defense as a result.

Seeing that her status modifier had been successful, the Velix ran forward, preparing to use another Tackle attack. Thinking quickly, Tyrogue remembered your advice - stay 10 feet away from her at all times, move when she moves - and dodged to the left. As he scrambled backwards to get away from her, she tilted her head in puzzlement. Was he afraid of her now? Why wasn't he attacking? Velix approached him again, and Tyrogue took a few steps back. Then she took a few steps back, and he advanced a few steps. What was with this Pokemon? she wondered. Then, she ran forward, just to see what would happen ... Tyrogue shrieked a little and began to run.

In the end, this battle turn ended with Velix and Tyrogue running in a big circle, the former chasing the latter. If you manage to catch her, the two of them will get along fabulously, don't you think? Teehee~

Sammy started laughing at the spectacle of the two pokemon. He sighed and shook his head, "Baruki, i want you to turn around, run straight at Velix then jump into the air about 5 feet in front of Velix. When your above her i want you to hit her with a strike attack, using your feet as a weapon. When you hit her use has as a sort of jumping pad to jump as high as you can get. If Velix falls i want you to try and hit her again from above using a tackle attack. If she doesnt fall i want you to use Intimidate to make her attack lower." He said, grinning at his idea.

His thoughts quickly changed to a possible defense that might yield a little more damage. "If she attacks you physically i want you to grab her paws or whatever you can grab and try to get her under you to break your fall. This isnt really an attack, more of a way to get a softer landing for you." He stated, his only possible idea for a time like this. He went over a mental checklist to make sure he covered all possibilities.

"When you land i want you to maintain your 10 foot distance at all times." He stated, nodding to himself, glad he had finally thought of something useful. He took a step back and pulled out a pokeball. He new it was a bit to early to use, but the second he could catch her he intended on using the pokeball. He was excited about the possibility of having a new traveling partner, as well as a new pokemon to battle with, and the fact it was part psychic made it all the better.

I know you're out there somewhere...
For this, I think I'm going to have to put on some battling music, just to set the mood and make sure that I get an epic scene out of this post of commands you have left for me to go through. Baruki stopped dead in his tracks and turned around to face Velix and immediately began running at her just as you had asked in your first bit of commands. Then as you talked yet again for different commands, he faltered a moment, trying to figure out what exactly to do. Of course he saw that he could easily jump as you asked, and did so, then kicking out at Velix as he passed over her, whom was looking up to see what was going on. Wincing, Velix's legs kind of bent under her as if she were going to collapse, but she didn't, and when Baruki landed he was in for a world of trouble.

Immediately upon seeing her enemy standing with his back to her, Velix launched herself at Baruki, whom was finally starting to turn around to face his opponent, only to get a faceful of claws. The Scratch attack was especially painful as it cut right into Baruki's eyes, and he place his hands over them, trying to get the sting to stop, though quite unsuccessful. Not quite finished, Velix then pounced and hit the Fighting type hard with her body, pinning him to the ground and causing him to try to push her away. When his hands were no longer over his hurt eyes, you could see that they were bleeding slightly, and it was obvious that things weren't all that well for you. I'm afraid that Baruki is temporarily blinded.

Velix got off of him and started running back from him, not wanting to get caught up in a frenzy of attacks. Of course Barukis is probably pretty angry and you can probably use that anger to help you out. Just because he can't see doesn't mean he can't attack. So what shall you do?

Sammy gasped when he saw the hit, and instantly knew it was going to be a major weak spot on Baruki. He sighed and closed his eyes to think, crossing his arms across his chest and silencing his mind from useless chitter-chatter and only came to one conclusion, let Baruki decide. "Baruki, your injured pretty bad, do you want to continue or call this battle and head to the Pokémon center?" He asked, hesitating as he reached for Baruki's pokeball.

Baruki turned, then glared at the Velix and shook his fist at it "Ty Tyrogue Ty!" he shouted, which sammy took to meen "Lets kick this stupid Velix's butt!" Sammy grinned and nodded, his mind instantly going to planning. "OK Baruki, this round with be quite a bit more difficult since your eye's are in bad shape, but with the right combination we can do this." Sammy said and grinned at the Velix. He started going over Baruki's attacks until he thought he had finally come up with good combination.

"OK Baruki, i want you to move around cautiously, trying to present a harder target to hit, i want you to be lose and limber and when Velix attacks you with a physical attack i want you to Belly flop onto her, and when you hit her i want you to grab onto her and hold on. Now this next part is crucial, when your have a good firm hold on Velix i want you to use the strike attack to slam your fist as hard as you can onto her head, preferably the top but whichever part you can hit go for it. Put all your strength into the attack and try to make sure to hit her head into the ground with as much force as you can muster." Sammy said and hoped this would work because Baruki couldn't take much more punishment.

Your ordering a blind pokemon to carefully land on top of a tiny pokemon, stay on and deliver a swift series of blows? You know the blindness is temporary right? You could have ordered Tyrogue to listen for Velix's attacks and attack once he could see...battles aren't all about dealing damage quickly. Anyway the orders were set and hopefully Lady Luck will be on your side.

Velix purred and scratched the dirt with her paws, her claws ready to tear into your pokemon. Baruki listened to your orders and limbered up and started jumping around, in order to have more success at dodging the next assault. As Velix jumped forward, Baruki jumped high into the air. Velix landed underneath the Tyrogue, but at the same time Baruki landed far away from the cat pokemon. Not knowing where he was he started randomly punching the air, whilst jumping around aimlessly in a futile attempt to dodge...and attack!!

Velix leapt forward, going for another Scratch attack. That Lady Luck thing I mentioned earlier seemed came into play here, as Velix, who was leaping forward for a Scratch attack, received Baruki's right hook...right into the face of his opponent. Velix was thrown backwards and hit the grown hard...the battle was finally beginning to turn in your favour. But don't forget to think through your attacks. Lady Luck may not always be there to help you.

Sammy sighed and shook his head, that had gone good but still wasnt what he had wanted. He was loosing this fight, and doing so quite badly. He scratched his head and thought for a minute, trying to come up with a reasonable answer to the current predicament, but for some reason he couldnt think of anything. His Pokémon was defintly hurt and that Velix was a fierce fighter.

He pulled out Baruki's Pokeball and looked at it, his thoughts going to the day he had met the little guy, his new best friend. He had been so happy that day, receiving his first Pokémon, his first partner, someone that he could travel with and see the world. He had been so full of hopes, so full of dreams, and so full of the pride and ignorance, assuming that he and his little friend where unbeatable.

Yet how easily those dreams where shattered, and by a mere Pokémon such as this, and for the first time doubt began to creap into his soul, entering the tiny spaces of his mind and infecting him like a bad virus. He shook his head in a vain attempt to flush these horrible doubts from his mind, and yet they persisted. He let his head hang low for the first time, defeat rising its ugly head to stare him full in the face, and in that brief instant he considered calling Baruki back.

He looked up at Baruki and opened his mouth to call the order to return and found Baruki glaring at the Velix and all thoughts of callinim back wher banished in that one instant. They were a team, the two of them, and a certain amout of respect and trust was required. Trust, on Baruki's side, that Sammy would get him through this. Trust from Sammy that Baruki could, and would, be the winner of any altercation that came their way.

Sammy sighed again, putting his Pokeball away and grinned at the little fighting Pokémon. "You know Baruki, your one stubborn little guy.: He said with a grin, and started calling out orders. "Ok now this round is all defense. I want you doing nothing but using focus this entire time, and moving when need be to keep yourself from taking damage. I want you to use Focus twice, once for defense and once for attack got it? If that Velix moves in to attack i want you to get out of the way, and if you cant just go with the flow, try to make the damage taken as little as possible got it?" Sammy asked and nodded. He had a plan in mind, so long as Baruki could hold out. Once his Blindness was gone then the two of them would turn this battle around. If, by some cruel twist of fate, they lost then it was a learning experience and they would do better next time.
