@Balthazar007yep! will finish that up! thanks for indulging me haha
@Balthazar007 i think i can manage!
Battle? Seriously? "You want a battle?" At Indigo uttering the word 'battle,' Torchic's soft and downy features turned postively hawk-like. With a war-like shriek, she landed a few feet in front of Indigo, her fiery feathers fanned out, her crest standing high on edge, and her feet splayed. It seemed as if she were saying, 'yes, I challenge you!'

He had once heard somewhere, maybe in a movie or something, that trainers were tested by their pokemon. Sometimes pokemon wanted a good challenge, and they gauged trainer competency that way. To get Torchic to respect him at all, he would have to battle her. He wasn't ready to battle yet though! But as he looked around, he realized he had no choice. It didn't matter whether he used Turtwig or another pokemon, he was cornered and he was going to have to do this.

"You just can't make things easy, can you," Indigo muttered, eliciting another scowl from the Torchic. "Fine, lend me a pokemon please, Prof." Indigo placed a hand on his hip. "You're going down, bird."

*edited to be a little more specific
cool! thanks @TheForgottenArc!
@TheForgottenArcI was specifically thinking this could just be a quick back and forth of maybe 2-4 posts where dan might try and help indigo weaken the torchic.

after dan commanded a move, indy would realize he himself needs to battle torchic, and indy could possibly command turtwig for 1-2 moves. I wouldn't really control Turtwig. I'd say something like, "after indigo commanded turtwig to attack, the hit connected with torchic." so it's more of an implication.

it would be pretty short and sweet-- then indigo would catch her. i just thought this would be a good learning opportunity for indigo and torchic both. let me know what you think!

if that's too troublesome, then i'd like to maybe request the professor give indigo a loaner pokemon to battle torchic with. again, if any of this is too much posting or hassle, i am more than happy to edit my post!

edited for clarity*
@Balthazar007@TheForgottenArc so i thought it would be fun if dan helped indigo weaken the torchic by battling it, because she actually wants a battle! esp when balth mentioned they were feisty. however i can change it if it would be more convenient for indigo to just catch it in his post. i just thought this would be fun?? let me know if its a terrible idea though haha
As the pokemon came out, Indy felt a surge of anticipation. The technology that was rigged up was pretty amazing, and seeing the pokemon teleport directly to them was incredible, to say the least.

Dan's Turtwig seemed like Dan, which brought a smile to Indigo's face. The hybrid turtle and dinosaur like creature looked intriguing, and Indy could have sworn the fresh aroma of forest and grass wafted by as the Turtwig came closer to the pokeball placed before him. I remember reading that their shells are made of soil from the selection screen I think, and they even get their nutrients through photosyntheis. That's pretty convenient, it can just make its food all by itself. With Dan' soft words and encouraging smile, no wonder the pokemon took to him so quickly. And the way the pokemon just went inside his ball-- it was too easy! Indigo let a self-assured grin spread across his face as he looked at his Torchic. This one didn't seem as shy, although she did look soft, cuddly, and agreeable. This would be a cinch.

Piece of cake.

"Hey there," Indigo said, kneeling. "C'mere, Torchic."

However the Torchic looked at him critically, let out a peep, and went to go explore some other aspect of the lab. She first peered around the professor's feet, pecking at his laces, before running over to the particularly shiny healing machine...

Indy, who hated looking anything but cool and composed, got a flustered expression on his face. This was embarrassing! This was supposed to be easy! He was messing up already? He let out a chuckle. "Ha, give me a sec." He straightened up. "Hey, Torchic, over here, now." Torchic didn't even bother to look at him, examining her reflection in the shiny machine and letting out soft peeps. She certainly wasn't going to go to a trainer whom wasn't going to come to her. And quite frankly, this human looked weak. Not at all what she had been expecting for her first trainer.

Indigo was flustered. Crap! He needed to do something-- she was his responsibility and she was probably going peck up the tech if he wasn't careful! He walked over to her, picking her up. But all the little bird had to do was squawk loudly in protest, kick her legs just a little, and Indigo dropped her, startled. The Torchic was even more unimpressed. Why, this human was an absolute pushover.

Indigo was getting frustrated now."Alright, guys, just give me a second..." He said through gritted teeth. Why... Why wasn't she listening?! He looked like fool right now! "Prof, you said we had to catch 'em, right?" He gripped the pokeball in his hand before throwing it at The Torchic...

She turned around swiftly and kicked it right back! It sailed past Indigo, whose mouth dropped in surprise. What the hell was this?!

"Yo, Prof, what am I supposed to do? This Torchic isn't coming over..." Maybe the professor would catch it for him...
No problem! I'm fine with waiting! I'm home from work and working on a post right now!
cool, never been a fan of writing a ton just to make stuff longer either. altho @Matador & @TheForgottenArc let me know if you have any critiques or if I need to add anything to my posts as well! I haven't done a group rp in forever so just sayin' feedback's all good with me
Take your time! Also if you have any feedback or specific critique for my posts I am open to that as well. C: let me know if they are ever too short or something! I try to react to everything that's going on but sometimes when there's not a whole lot it's hard to make a post longer.
