Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rock field: Tremors ripple forth from center-field as the basic floor shifts to a rock and dirt field. Rock towers emerge forth from the ground to offer a place of escape or an advantageous attack position. The breeze from the stadium air conditioners stirs the loose sand on the field, creating a mini sandstorm that reduces visibility. This field gives a 25 HP attack boost to ROCK type attacks. This field reduces FIRE type attacks by 25 HP

Fauve nodded back, smiling at the new trainer to acknowledge her greeting. "I'm Fauve." No need to have a conversation; there was a battle about to go underway! Besides, the other girl didn't seem to bad; it wasn't a problem to mention her name, as well. Common courtesy and all.

So, the first move would be Shadow Ball, huh? It was a move Fauve had yet to see in action; however, she had been told about its power and it's beauty.

The Joltik, however, didn't see the same way as his temporary trainer had. Having been up against many pokemon before, he had seen this attack countless amounts of times, unenthusiastic and unamused by the move. Yet, although he was an agile creature, this move would still be a bit tricky to avoid.

Ah, but it missed! The Joltik had figured out a way to use his body along the sandy earth below to avoid the dark energy that propelled itself in his direction. Perhaps the distance helped him calculate his own movements?

* * *
Fauve clenched her hands lightly in success, happy to see that her Pokemon had not been injured just yet. Now it was her turn, of course! She briefly scrolled through different kinds of bug and electric moves that the Joltik could possible know, finally coming across one that could be a good experimental move for him.

"Joltik, try Bolt Strike!"



Current HP: 900/900
Moved Used: Bolt Strike (Opt. 1)
Moves Completed: Bolt Strike (Opt. 1)

Fauve smiled gently, satisfied with the other moves and sayings the other trainer was doing telling to Murkrow. She could probably learn a whole lot from this other trainer, couldn't she?

"Alright, Joltik, let's try and wear down its defenses! Let's try the move Attack Order this time!" That was a bug-type move, correct? This much she remembered, even as a new trainer. Knowing this move, it was bound to make a hit, even if the newly placed defenses that the bird had put up. The point of the battle was to make the opposition faint, just as everyone was aware of, so every little bit should help.

Already close to the Murkrow enough, he followed the new trainer's command, striking out at the body of feathers with some assistance from his agility skills; scratching, snapping, and ramming himself into the larger bird. It's what she asked of him, anyway.

The poor Joltik made a little screech in shock, hesitant from the Murkrow's anger and forgetting to get out of the way in time. Wow, what frustration she had! The ball of shadows barreled into him, tossing him a distance across the stadium. He tumbled across the loose ground that he bounced off of, catching himself on his feet after a few of them. He shook his head in an attempt to push away the dizziness that he was feeling from the bouncing, but was ready again within seconds. Now, he merely waited for his next command.

- - - - -

"Time to use distance to our advantage again," she started. For a moment, she scrolled through a brief, imaginary list of bug and electric types of moves within her mind, trying to pick one that could possibly work for the current situation. Ah, here's one!

"Alright, how about Charge Beam this time! Let use the space to our advantage!"




Current HP: 700/900
Move Used: Charge Beam (Opt. 1)
Moves Completed: Bolt Strike (Opt. 1), Attack Order, Charge Beam (Opt. 1)

As he expected, the bird was now starting to adapt to his swiftness, more easily avoiding his recent attack. Sure, he had been able to make contact with the beam, but she was already airborne and ready for her next move. Aerial Ace. One of a bug-type's most feared moves to be used against them. Although he tried to flee, he felt as her body and talons barreled into his side, causing him to release another squeal of his and find himself a bit lightheaded once more.

- - - - -

Even without having the appropriate bond with the Joltik, Fauve did, in fact, feel the pain and tenderness from the attack, as well. "You're still going strong! Let's hit back with another Bolt Strike this round!" She clenched her hands into brief fists, really starting to get into the feel of the battle.
