"Cool, I wanted to battle anyway," Wayne said with a grin. In truth, he felt his pokémon needed it just as much as Henrietta's and he didn't mind the chance he might lose. She seemed like she seriously needed the confidence boost. "Alright," he span on his foot and slung his arm over the shy girl's shoulders, "battle arena's that way! Solosis, come on!"
The psychic type put the weights down and turned around to see his trainer waving over to him. He started to roll over but stopped in front of Darumi and told it to get a move on. Then, with the training mat crackling under his weight, Solosis followed after Wayne and Henrietta.
--
The battle arenas were around the back of the Pokémon Center. The floors were made of asphalt with white lines marking out the trainer stand zones and the fighting area itself. Once one of the arenas became free, Wayne took his spot and told Henrietta to do the same, "before someone runs in and steals it."
Wayne held his wrist and cracked his fist, Solosis rolling up to his side. He knelt down to the pokémon but looked over to Henrietta, "I'm gonna be using Solosis. Pick whichever pokémon you think can beat him. Ghost types have the advantage so you might wanna use your Melty dude thing."
He looked down at Solosis while Henrietta was to make her choice, "Okay, you ready for this?"
Solosis manipulated his membrane into nubby arms and used them to shrug.
"Alright, that's better than a no. Here," he tipped the rest of the lemonade over the pokémon's head and Solosis drank it as before, looking refreshed again, "can't go around making excuses. Anyway, I have an idea."
Wayne leant in close and whispered something to Solosis before standing up and looking over to Henrietta. "Ready when you are!"

And with the arm around her shoulders, her face grew another shade redder.
Darumi, grinning as he ran around with the weight above his head, was dismayed to learn that it was time to leave the fun weight place. Sighing, he set the weight down and hurried off with a renewed energy.
***
She stood at the other end of the arena, looking down at the ground. Melty had followed along and looked dismayed at the thought of battling. Him? But he was eating! It was rude to interrupt someone when they were eating.
Shooting Wayne a glare, Melty began to move forward when he noticed someone else had already stepped up.
Henrietta saw it too, as her eyes tend to stay on the ground. Socant, the little bugger, stood at attention, ready for combat. "H-hum..." Henrietta reached into her bag and searched around for the movelist for Socant.
"I'm going to use Socant," she said, her voice just slightly higher than the normal low. This was her shouting.
"S-socant," she said as she pointed to the Solosis, her eyes on the paper, "Thunder wave."

Alright, one hit in the bag. One or two more was all they needed to win. Just need to keep up this pace.
Another Thunder Wave was on its way and this time Solosis had nothing to push off against. Nothing except...
"Bounce off a Light Screen!" Wayne shouted up to the psychic type. It seemed to hear him because a second later, a thin purple screen of light formed just above it.
Unfortunately, its momentum wasn't as great before. While it hit the screen with all the elasticity it could muster, it wasn't enough to spring out the way of the impending wave of electricity. Solosis bounced downward, but was caught in the edges of the electric technique.
He began to free fall, knocked sideways by the Thunder Wave. If it hit the ground now, it'd shoot right out of the arena and Henrietta would win the match. Wayne grit his teeth and then yelled up, "Bring it together! Go back to normal!"
Solosis fell and hit the arena, the asphalt breaking apart chunks at a time. The pokémon sat in one place and Wayne watched intently. After a few seconds, it shook its head; Solosis was still in the game, though taken aback by the landing.
