Strength 7400P [/hider][hr][hr] Erika considered Isaac's stock carefully before deciding that none of it was worth buying at the moment, forgetting that the thunderstone might be useful down the line with Chu. [color=6ecff6]"Hmm.. Freecape Town, alright thank you Isaac and see you later! I'm headed off to try for my first gym badge... I hope."[/color] Erika said, looking forward to Stillwood Village, remembering that there should be a gym located in that small, sleep town. With her ambitions set for the day, it was time to try out her battling ability and offered multiple invitations to other trainers along the path. The trainer from Redcoast had provided Erika with a bit of information that she had already known but reaffirmed her long-term goal. The Stone Store in Raremine was going to be Erika's eventual destination, given time of course. The two would battle and Erika's lead was arguably her strongest, Gibs. At this level Dragon Rage was still strong and that's immediately what Erika called for in this first battle. For the Hoppip, Erika used the typing advantage she had with Sno and used Powder Snow to make short work of the grass/flying type. For Eevee, Erika decided to bring out Chu to give him a chance to battle. Play-nice was used a few times to weaken Eevee's attack strength while also ignoring the potential accuracy loss with sand-attack. Then it was a matter of trying to get Thundershock to hit... Chu was Erika's first choice when she met and challenged a school kid. Koffin was likely a tougher battle considering Erika's team had no typing advantage and the threat of poison but Erika planned on making short work of Koffin with purely Thundershock. Although Chu may have been able to handle Spearow in the next bout, Erika opted instead to give Sno the typing advantage she had, using Powder Snow again to wreck another flying type. Roggenrola was tricky since Poli wasn't in her team at the moment but Erika stuck with what she knew rock wasn't strong against and that invovled Gibs again. Sand-attack was used before following up with Dragon Rage to power through the rock type's defense. Hopefully that School Kid was taught a lesson about humility! Slightly annoyed with her next challenger, Erika faced off against a wannabe psychic. Kay would be the perfect choice in this encounter but upon summoning her in against Bronzor, she stuck her tongue out and floated away for a moment with Erika yelling at her to come back. She didn't go far, thankfully. Thus Chic was Erika's backup and even though Erika felt like the steel typing was at a disadvantage, she hadn't accounted for Heatproof turning the fight into a real slugfest. Ember was the only move Erika was pushing Chic to do and try and make short work of her opponent. After some pleading and some intimidation from Gibs, Kay fought against Gothita using Foul Play and psychic immunity to hopefully destroy Gothita. Erika wanted Kay to keep going but Kay simply ignored her and took a comfortable viewing seat on a nearby tree branch. Sno was Erika's second choice to counter the flying type, using Leer before Icy Shard to hopefully break down Woobat. No doubt her team was really feeling tired at this point but with Stillwood in sight, Erika challenged one more opponent who was also heading South towards Raremine. Kay was drifting around behind, awestruck about the open sky but Erika was content on letting her wander about a bit. She at least helped in one battle. Some rock collector or something but regardless of the man, Erika used her last two potions to recover Sno and Chic. Sno used double team and icy shard to hopefully defeat Sandile, while Chic was tasked with Ember attacks against Magnetmite. Finally the untrialed Eep was Erika's choice for Nuzleaf. Using mainly acid but also constrict and astonish in minor ways to hopefully and eventually defeat Nuzleaf. With that, Erika's first move was to use the Pokemon Center (if there was one) in Stillwood before finally considering her other options in town!
