Welcome to Gaia! ::

Psy! DUCK! Psy! DUCK! Psy! DUCK! Pssssssssyyyyyy Duuuuck!

The irritating chime of the pokemon shaped alarm clock roused the slumbering medic from her light sleep; it was early. Almost too early to actually be stumbling out of bed and dredging through her morning routine, yet Acacia found herself doing just that. Sitting up the slender built light-haired grunt licked her lips then yawned loudly as she pulled her self out of her silk sheeted bed and staggered in her dratini footsie pajamas towards the bathroom. Minutes bled into over half and hour before the light-haired medic exited fully dressed; prim and proper with her freshly washed hair gelled and styled in proper place.

Getting fully into the morning grind Acacia prepared her satchel as well as buffed and filed her well-maintained nails, she had a heavy schedule set for the day and needed to look her best, professionally perfect in every aspect including a light bit of make-up; lip gloss, power concealment, eyeliner, and a touch of pink shadow which made her crimson hued eyes sparkle and pop substantially.

Checking her watch the light-haired medic paced herself towards the training grounds of the base, she was fairly early for the arrangement that she had made with fellow grunt Faleen however she preferred to be early rather than late any giving day and today was no exception to that mentality.

Peering into the expansive room that was used for exercising and battling purposes Acacia gave a small stiff wave towards the woman that was waiting for her, the buzzing in the pit of her stomach twisted painfully as she realized that she herself would be testing her darling pokemon within a matter of moments.

“Good morning, Faleen. I hope that I haven't kept you waiting too long. And I apologize if I have.”

“I see,” Acacia drawled with a bit of disdain in her voice, the creeping uneasiness was weighting heavily on her stomach, exhaling thankfully for her lack of eating breakfast the pale complexioned woman nodded towards the technician and followed her very closely as if she were intimidated by the expanse of space. She looked sick and uneasy as moved down the hallway nearly stepping on the back of Faleen's boots as she did so. “This is a little scary, I have never been in the training rooms before, normally I take Ampule outside for training. We have been working on building up an electrical tolerance and lately his attitude has really improved since we made friends with Palu and Tamie.”

Acacia was thankful for the small amount of concealment makeup she had applied earlier that morning, grateful that it would cover the dark blush that she could feel easing her neck and into her cheeks. “So how have you been, how are the stitches doing? Well I hope. Any itching or peeling? Discomfort? Any drainage or fever?”

'she is ridiculing me and my training tactics?! How dare she belittle me! Arrogant b—'

Acacia's heated thoughts were cut short when the grunt known as Faleen offered her a small smile and encouraged her to not be scared of the battle grounds since they were a good source of training if she didn't wish to go too far out of her way. Turning her head away from the other woman's gaze the slender built woman scoffed underneath her breath then made her way into the small chamber with a pond structure built into the room.

Tilting her head over her shoulder the white-haired medic forced herself to spare a smile at the blonde woman, even if she didn't have faith in her training methods it was not really a full reason to be aggressive towards her fellow grunt, pulling Ampule's pokeball from her belt loop around her slender waist Acacia nodded and approached the area that she needed to stand in.

The burning singe deeply set into her chest was enough to cause a bit of discomfort to the fidgeting twenty-four year old, exhaling loudly the medic lowered herself onto one knee as she rolled the red and white capturing device in her left hand looking at it fondly before releasing the pokemon from within it.

A loud yawn escaped smacking blue lips as chubby hands sought tired eyes and rubbed vigorously, like a small child trying to ward off slumber. “Good morning my sweet little boy,” Acacia greeted the barrel chested Big Jaw pokemon affectionately then pulled the small creature into a loving hug. “We have a battle this morning okay Ampule? I want you to try your best but have fun okay. Now, lets get you out of your pajamas so you can get ready.”

Nodding his head mutely the little blue crocodile continued to rub his eyes for a few more moments before allowing his owner to help him slid out of she sleeper wear, light blue pajamas ceased off of his pudgy frame as he wiggled and stepped out when Acacia directed him to do so.

Standing upright the sharp featured woman brushed her well groomed hair away from her face and smirked confidently towards Faleen, she could careless about what the woman thought of her at the moment, she wasn't trying to impress her. Crossing her arms over her chest with the feraligatr footsie jumper in hand Acacia smirked a bit more cheekily; revealing her glistening white teeth.

“We are ready over here.” Loudly announced the medic as she patted the top fin of her blue companion, nodding with vigor Ampule began to stretch and limber up while setting his normally cheerful demeanor into something stern and focused.

“Todi.” Ampule confirmed as well and lowered his body towards the ground and held the position while eying Faleen almost predator like.

'An absol. This was not going to be good. Not at all. None of Ampule's moves will be very effective. Avoid using Bite, it will be ineffective. Dammit, this cuts his moves down to two. Well, this isn't training, this is serious. I don't care if we lose, he just needs to give it his all, we aren't always going to win. But still---dammit! That absol is serious, it isn't gonna go easy on him just cause he is little. Dammit!'

The pop that escaped from the slender woman's neck broke the silence that filled the void between the two grunts, again long fingers stroked the top of the rough red fin set high on the totodile's back before tapping it just once.

The signal was sent, Ampule launched himself forward nearing the arena towards his opponent then slid to a halt waiting for instructions of his owner.

“Alight Faleen, what are the rules?” Acacia inquired as she crossed her arms over her chest and looked towards the other woman's face, a wane smile set on her pale complexioned visage.

(sorry for the short post...)

(Question, did you want to just RP it out, or did you wish to use a hit point and dice system? Just let me know we can come up with something. If not that is cool! Just let me know.)

Acacia nodded mutely at Faleen's words, taking in a deep lungful of air the slender built medic held her breath then exhaled through her nose evenly. “Alight,” closing her vivid red hues for a moment Acacia eased the trembling in her hands; snapping her eyes open the white-haired rookie martial artist shot her hand out holding out two fingers then let out a long whistle. “I see you, in I.C.U.!”

Snarling with uncanny ferocity Ampule kicked away from the ground beneath his clawed feet and rolled forward while keeping his deep crimson eyes locked on his target. “DILE!” Screamed the barrel chested water-type as he unleashed a torrent of water from his widely opened maw.

An ice attack?! But that isn't very effective against water-types. I wonder what she is getting at.

Ampule needed no instruction from his trainer as his hardened crimson eyes dilated at the initial sight of the absol's attack, there was no chance to completely move out of the way of the assault although maneuvering would drop his defenses near to null. Snapping his maw closed and bracing himself Ampule readied his barrel shaped frame for brunt of the special attack, the bitter bite of the ice encased his small pudgy body; pain flooded his senses for a brief moment before the blue Big Jaw pokemon broke from his imprisonment and rushed forward.

The stinging was a harsh reminder against his scaled body and even though the ice attack was not very effective against him the chill of the move unsettled him, his focus strained as chips and chunks of frozen water remained on his diminutive figure weighting him down heavily.

As if she herself could feel his distress Acacia called out to her sole companion in a firm yet affectionate tone. “Keep your head on your shoulders, Make Your Rounds!” Exuberantly ordered the white-haired rookie medic, her left hand clearly held up a single finger as she cheered on her totodile with confidence.

The command was received loud and clear to the small crocodile, lashing out once he was within physical striking distance Ampule used Scratch on the foe in hopes to deal damage, even though he was on the assault the energetic water-type made sure to keep his guard up; the pool of crystalline liquid was a safe haven if he needed to seek refuge, another notion that he kept in the back of his mind as he unleashed his physical attack.

(100 sided dice was rolled to see if the 10% chance of Freezing occurred. I hope that is okay. If not just tell me and I will change it.)

The retaliatory attack caught the totodile off guard, he had not expected such at stellar feet of agility from his foe. The dynamics of the arena prevented any sort of useable cover. The pond was too far away to dive into for cover, this battle was already over before it had even began. Steadying his stout frame Ampule collected another burst of energy, as the attack struck viciously against his blue scaled form; a stream of water erupted from his snout even as darkness enveloped his consciousness.

He was down for the count.

“Dammit,” Acacia growled heatedly, her facial features loosing the elegant poise and glamorous refrain that her face normally held; the professional demeanor shattered and broken with a subtle rage. “Please call Absol off.” She stated firmly, it tone in which she spoke it was apparent that it was more than just a request, it was a demand. She didn't want to see her baby get hurt any further; he had given it his all and that was good enough for her.
