Welcome to Gaia! ::

Valor was undeterred by the heat of the flames, the high charge of electricity in his fur gave him an extra layer of protection from those special attacks like Ember. And the Luxio was of a one-track mind. But even a face full of the Quilava's fire would be too much. Valor leaped and twisted mid-air with aid of his tail, veering off course, yet close enough to attempt to rake his electrified claws across Vesuvius's side.

Valor landed roughly but easily regained his feet. The much larger and much stronger Spark cat bounced in place, and yowled happily at his trainer, as if to say, did you see me? Did you see what I did? Valor thought he was all the rage right now. Who didn't want to be a fine Luxio now like him? Nolan, although, was still speechless, but a wide grin spread across his face. He'd seen pokemon evolve before, but not any pokemon that were HIS pokemon. That thought snapped him right out of his stupor.
"Valor! Go for the Tackle quick while you have an advantage, then start Charging up again for a solid hit."

The clash of pokemon against pokemon was so brutally awful that Nolan had to look away. This fight had quickly escalated when both pokemon evolved. It was no longer just a kitten chasing a mouse, but a real match of power against power. Valor had met Quilava head-on, ignoring the fire just to do as his trainer had told him, albeit not that Nolan meant that on purpose. A good blow must have been dealt to Vesuvius as well, and Valor did not get away unscathed. He had landed back on his paws on the rebound, but his legs quivered despite the brave face Valor put on. The Luxio's fur was singed where the Embers had scored. 'I can't keep on letting him fight like this ...'

Nolan again went for Valor's pokeball and got a growl this time from the Spark cat - much more menacing now that he wasn't a goofy little cub. There wasn't much time for hesitation. Nolan didn't recall the Luxio, but he now held Valor's pokeball in hand - just in case.
"Soften him up with Leer and use your Spark again, Valor."
Valor locked eyes with Quilava, those yellow orbs turning menacingly hateful, and then he jumped forward, dashing at the Lava pokemon for another claw-induced Spark attack.

Again on the rebound, Valor barely kept upright. The newly evolved pokemon managed a haughty smirk when Quilava was no longer able to battle, and was recalled. Yet all the bravado was in attempts to cover the difficulty he had standing, his wide stance more for support than it was meant to be defiant. And so his trainer wouldn't recall him. Valor readied himself when the blue Yanma was up next again, lowering his head and was grateful for the short respite. Yet now, Valor had to try to pick out where Yanma would be next as the large dragonfly pokemon zipped through the air.

Nolan didn't want to show that he doubted Valor anymore, so he gave it his best shot.
"Don't focus where he was, Valor. Get him with a Spark!"
The Spark cat crouched for the pounce, just attempting to track Yanma's movements, and when he thought he had it, he dashed forward. Then circled around in the small clearing, and leaped as far horizontally as he could through the middle of the area, claws sparking and outstretched. He'd do this again and again, until either he got a lucky shot or wore Yanma out first.

The reverberation flattened Valor to the ground and already weakened, he couldn't even lift his head under the force of Sonic Boom. Nolan knew that Valor reached his limits, there was no doubting that now, yet there was a sense of apprehension in that he had to recall the Spark cat. Least he really seriously got injured. The red light enveloped the worn out Luxio, and converted the pokemon back into energy to be stored in the pokeball capsule. Right now, Nolan didn't even want to consider how badly hurt Valor could be, and keeping his head in the game, he knew exactly who he wanted to battle the blue shiny Yanma.
"Twill, let's go! Give him a taste of your Peck attack!"

Twill chirped melodiously, sounding like laughter. Nolan didn't know she could make a sound like that, and he knew she was laughing at him, making him wince. The Tiny Swallow could one-up a little Peck attack now. She hopped from her perch in the trees, and dived straight for Yanma, wings outstretched for a fast Wing Attack.

Whismur didn't need speed when her attack was so widely dispersed, and hit just about everything she aimed at. Twill was knocked aside mid-air, her feathers ruffled, but that just made her meaner. When she recovered, the Taillow's eyes narrowed to slits, promising murder for the round pink thing. Nolan hurriedly blurted out the first thing that came to mind, if anything, just to give him the illusion of control. Maybe it would work with Twill.
"Quick Attack from behind!"

Twill thought she'd do one better, and focused her energy first to better get a chance for a critical hit. When she thought she saw the perfect opening, she dived again, using her Quick Attack to move around and aim to hit Whismur's back.

The boneless Cubone set his eyes on the battle. Whoa, those things were strong. But only because of the trainers behind them. Pffft, who needed trainers? This Cubone would be a hero without one! The Shade stalked along in the shadows of a tree, watching. Of course they'd totally hear the ground types walking.

Kiera heard something near her and looked over by the trees. She couldn't look long because of the battle but thought she saw a white skull in the shadow. If that's a Cubone that would be so cute, she thought! Wispy was in trouble though. Wispy was going to use Uproar one more time and then after that she would stop and hear more orders. Wispy got bitten by Hippopotas right on the ears and she used Uproar right at the Hippo. Kiera shouted and hoped that Wispy could hear her now. "Use Astonish to make her let go!"

It could be a Duskull, she thought. What other pokemon have skulls on them? She didn't think it was a Houndour. Kiera tried to get another look in the shadow and that's when the sandstorm started. She didn't mean to get distracted by another cute pokemon and now got serious again. Wispy was in trouble and was getting battered in the sandstorm. Hippopotas was another strong pokemon like Valor. Nolan was super lucky too to have so many great pokemon. "Wispy Pound that ugly Hippo right in the face so you don't get bit!" Kiera giggled. "Sorry Hippopotas. You're very pretty."
