Held Item: [/hider] [/hider] [hider=Pc] [/hider] [/hider] [@Remram] [/center] With some early levelling done, Steph felt quite content with herself right now. Dusk seemed pretty capable in a fight, but she was aware of the advantage she held over these Pokemon so she wasn't going to let it go to her head. While not the most studied on pokemon battles and their intricacies, she had watched more than enough of her fair share of League Battles in general amongst other things to know a fair chunk of what to expect in general. Being part Ghost gave her the edge over normal types, it was one of the reasons she was taking the chance to level him up while she could. Most certainly taking note of the Machops as she passed, she figured she would catch one on her way back into the City itself. She had always wanted a Machamp, and she wondered if any of them would be up to an arm wrestle? It wouldn't hurt to try and see if they would, otherwise just battling and catching one was high on her agenda. Of the two cat-like pokemon, Purloin didn't really get her attention. She might catch one but she wasn't exactly keen on them, as for the Espurr, a little more interested and would maybe try her luck but neither had caught her attention quite like the Machop had. Though upon hearing about that battling gauntlet...that certainly got her attention. As did everything really, like that gremlin tearing it up in the trash, that blue fox sounded interesting and something messing with someones apartments power made her ears twitch. The Port thing also sounded like something she would certainly look at when she got there. But that gauntlet? That was right up her alley. She would need another two pokemon though, so she would absolutely need that Machop for sure. She just had to find a second pokemon.... And speaking of getting her attention, the wafting scent of hot food certainly caught hers and as she followed it to its source she gave the truck a look-over. Without a word shared as she made eye contact with the owner, she simply nodded as the food was handed to her and she would happily begin munching away without questioning the method of payment on offer here. We don't talk about that. Eventually arriving at the Harbour as she ate while she walked, she took a moment to appreciate the scent of the ocean. It hadn't been as nice when she was on the boat of course, but on land? She could appreciate it. Though during this appreciation as her attention was being split between what was happening between some individuals in one part of the square and what she believed to be the dodgy pokemon seller in the other, she found her food was being targeted. [color=37B5A9]"Oi ya bloimay feelthy scohlywahg, buggah off!"[/color] Presuming her simply telling it to go away wouldn't work, which lets face it it wouldn't, she gave a glance to Dusk and gave the thought of battling it a real go. She was at a severe typing disadvantage though, and she didn't want to throw Dusk unnecessarily into the fray like that at this present moment. She did need some more pokemon to take on that gauntlet though...but was it worth it? [hider=My Hider] "Oi ya blimey filthy scallywag, bugger off!" [/hider] For Dusks part he seemed keen to fight it, making little shadow boxing motions towards the bird as it circled them and came back in again. Bah, fuck it! Lets fucking do this! Not exactly the Pokemon she wanted as her first catch, but a Wingull wasn't too bad anyway yeah? [color=37B5A9]"Igeht Dusk, laets geh' ya a bud ya heah me? Hiieh' him weeth an Astonish as he swoops on in, thaen a Smog whoile he recovahs frawm thaht leettle suhproise."[/color] Deciding to just forgo any further thought over just simply acting, Steph would give Dusk his instructions as she would pull out one of the Pokeballs handed to her before. She would need to chip away at it a bit more no doubt before she felt confident in throwing the Pokeball, maybe exchanging a couple more turns of Ember and trying to dodge what she presumed was Water Gun it would have in its arsenal. She had half an idea to use Smog as a bit of a smokescreen, but she didn't fancy her chances by the seaside, nor did she want to interrupt passerbys too much right now. [hider=My Hider] "Aight Dusk, lets get ya a bud ya hear me? Hit him with an Astonish as he swoops on in, then a Smog while he recovers from that little surprise." [/hider] [The idea here is to go a quick catch by whittling away at it after hopefully catching it offguard when it swoops down to try and steal some food, maybe even using the food to distract it so Dusk can get his hit in and then throwing a pokeball when it seems low on health.] After this, she would make her way over to see what the stall owner had to offer, leaving the battling commotion for afterwards.
