Tyler walked twords Aura Towm, Tar right by his side. He smiled at the small frog pokemon, who in return just stared at him. "Cro...Cro..." It said.

A Larvitar, having left the more mountainous areas of the Nahra Region, stumbled upon the Croagunk and its trainer. "Lar?" It stared at each of them for a moment, wondering why there were others out there. It'd seen trainers, but even it didn't expect to see another 'late starter.' "Vitar, Lar!" It called to them, feeling slightly threatened by their appearance. And, because of this, it used Bite, crunching down on Tar's arm with great force.

Tar looked at his arm, croaking. "If, I'm correct...Dark attacks are weak against Fighting pokemon..." Tyler shrugged. "Well, someone looks calm." He stared at the Croagunk, who kept croaking. "Astonish!" Tyler said. Tar made a loud screech and a scary face while pounding on the Larvitar.

Larvitar was hit directly with Astonish, which caused it to fall backwards and ram itself into a tree. "Larv!" It shook its head, shocked by Tar's attack. "Tar!" It charged forward and used Bite again, hoping to do a bit more damage than it had previously inflicted. After chomping down on the same arm as last time, it ran about fifteen feet away, unleashing a Sandstorm. It wandered deep inside the gigantic cloud of dust and virtually disappeared. "Tar!" It mocked the Croagunk.

"Don't worry Tar!" Tyler said. Tar seemed practically unphased. But that's because it's facial expression almost never changes. It was buffed by the Sandstorm, but shook it off. "Poision Sting while spinning!" Tyler said. Tar starting spinning around, shooting poision darts everywhere.

Larvitar glared in the direction the darts were coming from. "Tar?!" It jumped, avoiding only a few while getting struck with even more. "Larvitar!" It fell backwards in pain and shock, poisoned by its attack. Once it recooperated, however, it leapt up to its feet and gazed through the sand. "Tar!" It backed into the sand again, trying to find where its opponent was. "Larvitar!" It charged in the direction that it thought it'd be in and opened its jaws, prepared to bite down when the time was right. The moment it could see Tar through the dust, it bit down, and, coincidentally, it was the same arm that it'd bit twice before. "Tar!" It sunk its teeth in and shook about.

"Cro..." Tar looked at the Larvitar. "Astonish, just like before!" Tyler ordered. Tar did just as before, repetingly slamming his hand on Larvitar while screeching and making scary faces.

Being both hurt and frightened by Tar's attack, Larvitar leapt backwards and stumbled on a rock, immediately resulting in its tipping over. "Larv..." It got back up slowly, having knocked the wind out of itself. "Tar?!" It was amazed as the Sandstorm vanished into nothingness. Blaming the Croagunk, it used Screech and followed it up with a Leer. Both of the attacks lower it's opponent's defense, so it'd help. "Tar!" It prepared itself for another attack.
Larvitar: 77% +Poisoned
Tar: 80% -Defense
Ooc: I am bolding it to emphasize it. Tar now has GREATLY reduced defense.

Tar covered his ears for a moment, not being able to block out the sound. "Use Poision Sting, again!" Tyler ordered as Tar shot poision darts everywhere.

Larvitar jumped up again to dodge, but was unsuccessful in its attempts. "Larvitar!" It landed with a thud and bolted towards Tar using Bite. Again, like the many times before, it bit the same spot. "Larv!" It sank its teeth down, leaving visible and obviously painful cuts. "Tar, Tar, Tar!" It mocked happily, running off to another part of the small path.

Tar was hurting, but as usual, did not show it. " Jump into the air twords that Larvitar and use Mud-Slap!" Tyler said. Tar grabbed a lot of mud off the ground, and jumped twords Larvitar with ease. "Now, ground attacks beat rock, so this should work" Tar threw the mud with force.

Larvitar stumbled backwards, angry with the pestilant Croagunk. "Larvitar!" It charged, using another Bite on Tar's arm. Like the many times before, it bit down with great force, digging its teeth into the Croagunk's flesh. "Larv..." It mumbled before letting go and using Screech that close range. "TAR!"

Tar's arm was seriously killing him. "Mud-Slap, then shift feet!" Tyler said. Tar threw lots of Mud at the Larvitar, then shifted his body so that his other arm was in front of him. His injured arm was behind him, so it would be hard to Bite it without getting countered.

The beat was heavy, pulsating and ricocheting off the inner drum. It radiated through the body, tingling the limbs and shaking the fingers. Outside, there was nothing that stirred from the noise, for it was blocked by the thick black barrier, it's bridge connecting over the operating chamber. Stomach lurched and mind spun, connecting the words over and over. Suddenly, the music stopped, a small scowl playing on a pair of full lips. Fingers worked with the distorted CD-player, now switching the song back on, letting it's pounding music quake her soul, though not loud enough to disturb the outside life. Lips pulled together in a hearty smile before parting, mouthing the words that she wouldn't be able to sing seeing as it was a deep male voice, and hers just didn't fit the description.
Sneakers left prints in the dirt rode, calories burning as she ran off, Molly straight at her heels and enjoying the exorcise. Head bobbed with the foot-tapping beat, leg muscles pumping and ham-strings stretching, mind focusing on nothing but her destination. A red bow she had tied around Molly's neck bobbed as though head banging to the hidden beat in Katie's Panasonic headphones. Everything seemed in tune to the heavy metal song; the leaves that bobbed up and down, her feet against the ground, Molly's bow - it all just fit so perfect that Katie's spirits were high, lips pulling back in a grin, revealing the canines she had been born with. Popping another stick of gum in her mouth, she allowed the song to change. Upon the next song, the world changed once more, all the beat seeming to go with this new song, her vocal cords vibrating as she hummed along.
But Katie soon slowed, pulling the headphones down and allowing the song (Here I Stand by Madina Lake) to silently pound into the air. Her lazy expression sparked to curious as she watched the battle going on. She switched the music on pause, leaving the headphones around her neck and waving for Molly to follow. She stalked closer, not wanting to get too close to the battle, but enough to see clearly. Her lips pursed, the thrill of the battle bubbling in her body like fizzy soda, the girl's entire body tensing up. "Get him!" She suddenly yelled, as though watching football. "Kick his ass!"

The small creature's head turned to gaze at the screaming girl just a few meters away. Larvitar noticed how strange she was---especially the short, hairy, brown thing that was following just behind. "Lar!" It growled from across the way, angered that the humans were 'taking over' land that 'belonged' to it. "Larvitar, Tar, Larv!" It stared off at them, obviously distracted as the Mud-slap hit dead on. "Ta?!"
The goldenrod-colored Pokémon whipped around quickly, having had both its health and accuracy lowered by the slap of soggy soil. "Larvvv..." It Screeched, sharply reducing the Croagunk's defense again. "Tar!" It bolted forward, jumped into the air and behind Tar, and then used Bite on its injured arm. "Tar..." It thought that it'd confused or at least baffled its opponent, but only time could tell. Now, it was in the open. And now, it had to be extra cautious if it was to get away.
Larvitar: 46% +Poisoned -Accuracy
Tar: 58% -Defense
Ooc: By the way, Mud-slap is literally a slap. xD I think...-checks again- Yup. I think it is.

Tar looked at the Larvitar with the same look. "Keep using Mud slap!" Tyler ordered before turning around for a moment. "Err...thanks?" He said aquwardly.
Tar covered his fist with mud and started slapping the Larvitar like crazy.

The brownish-yellow creature backed away helplessly as it was slapped continuously by the unforgiving and seemingly invincible Croagunk. "Tar, Tar, TAR!" It cried in pain, taking many more steps back, even after its opponent stopped the attack. 'Larvi---TAAARRR!" It used Screech again, lowering Tar's defense even further. And, taking this as an advantage, hopped behind the frog-like Pokémon and chomped down on its arm again, this time, leaving a very noticeable mark. It's great efforts and struggles finally resulted in one Critical Hit.

Tar's face expression finally changed, now the Croagunk was very angry. "Mud Slap!" Tar grabbed a lot of mud on it's hand, and it's looked very angry. It started thrashing on the Larvitar wildly.

Attack after attack, pain blistered her thoughts, the breeder-to-be now cradling Molly close, who was wincing a well after watching the Larvitar get angry at them and then get hit by the Croagunk. "You see, Molly.." Her voice was but a mere whisper, trying to keep from having Tyler hear her. "This is why I'm becoming a breeder, and not a trainer.." She stroked the Eevee's soft head, but her green eyes never left the battle.
Katie pursed her lips in worry as the Larvitar backed up, then screeched. The young girl had only seen battles before at contests, but never really cared for them. She couldn't help but admit battles frightened her in some sense. But she kept out of it, just standing off to the side and watching. It was actually very interesting, now that she looked at it through a trainer's eyes. She had to learn how to battle, and quick, if she wanted to get anywhere in life. "Take notes, Molly." She whispered. "Who knows when the day comes that we have to fight as well."

Larvitar jumped backwards to avoid a few of the Slaps, but couldn't help but get hit by the rest of the onslaught. "Larv---i---TAR!" It fell backwards, tripping on a rock and smashing into a tree. "Larvitar!" It jumped back to its feet, having taken a Critical Hit. "Tar!" It charged forward once more, trying to get at least one last attack in before...well. It's quite obvious. It bit down with such force that it's teeth punctured the Croagunk's skin and blood flushed into Larvitar's mouth.

"Pokeball, go!" Tyler threw a pokeball at the Larvitar. Tar sat in his frog position, holding his arm.

The Larvitar hopped into the air to try avoiding the Ball, but to no avail. It struck on its lower leg, bounced off, and opened. Larvitar's body immediately became a bright red light, of sorts, and was sucked into the Pokéball. The sphere containing the Groun- and Rock-type fell down to the ground, rocking and blinking furiously. After nearly twenty seconds, it slowed and stopped. -----Congratulations, Tyler has obtained a Larvitar!-----  Name: ? ? ?

Tyker picked up the pokeball. "I'll name you Fist, because you never give up and love to battle" Tyler put the Pokeball on his belt. "Well, looks like I can't catch any more pokemon untill I get to the next town.." Tyler turned around to the girl. "Hello" He said politely.

The young girl was silent, still holding Molly close. "Is THAT how you catch a pokemon?" She asked, her legs working on their own, carrying her over to Tyler as she peered at the pokeball where the Larvitar had went inside. She kept silent at first, Molly peering down at the ball which annoyed the hell out of her. The two looked emotionless at first, but suddenly surprise crossed Molly's furry faceas Katie grinned widely. "Dxmn straight!" She yelled, pointing her finger in triumph at the pokeball, even if she wasn't the one who defeated the Larvitar.
Katie spun to Tyler, Molly jumping out of her arms as the eccentric girl suddenly pulled him into a big hug. "I don't know your name, but that was hella sweet!" She pulled away, stepping back, her grin still evident as she held out her hand. "Sorry 'bout all that. The name's Katie, Katie Rhine. That's Molly. I'm a new pokemon trainer - though I'm aiming to become the world's best breeder." She beamed.

As if it had becoming bored as the battle finished, a Shiny Eevee stepped out of the bushes, slowly heading away from the trainers and their Pokémon. "Ee..." It spoke quietly, trying to insure its stealth as it crouched closer to the ground. "Vee..." It stared at the Eevee in the girls arms and noticed how content with its trainer it looked. Eevee perked its ears and glared at them, tilting her head in wonder.

Katie glanced at Tar, but her expression shriveled. She bit her comment back, now smiling. "Cuteey~~~" She purred. Her lips parted, about to speak once more before Molly shifted, looking over at the other Eevee. Katie turned her attention to the new arrival, going silent. Suddenly, she set Molly down, watching the other Eevee closely. "Hey Ty - do I have to battle to catch a pokemon?" She asked, voice quiet as to not scare the adorable fluffy pokemon which she now craved to have on her team.

"Hm, you really are new" He smiled. "Yep, you battle a pokemon untill it get's weak, then throw a pokeball at it" He nodded, looking where she was looking. "Boy wish I could catch one of those. That's Uber-Rare" Tyler nodded again, and stepped back. "Go ahead, give it a shot" He said.

Power swelled in her palms like pins and needles, the pain turning into battle-smarts. She rolled her shoulders, popping them. "Rare, huh?" She snickered, a malicious grin spreading on her face. "Well, I don't blame it for coming to see me. I'd come to see me too if I wasn't me." Oh yes, Katie was very stuck on herself. She pointed at the other Eevee, glancing at Molly for a split second.
"Molly, let's dazzle the audience, 'kay? C'mon babe - start us off with a nice little round over and a sand-attack, then try into a tackle." She purred.
Molly spat to the ground, suddenly rushing at the other Eevee. But she skirted to the side, now running around the Eevee a bit before kicking up as much sand as she could. During this time, she tried to use that as a cover, now rushing at the Eevee and trying to tackle it.
