Hm. I have an idea. It's fairly ambitious, so we'll see if I'll actually realize it with how occupied I'll be in the near future...

I, um. Still would be very interested in feedback here, in case people forgot about it.
@Rune_Alchemist That's pretty much what I intended~ That it'd be an option for a post, that is~ Well posted~
@Keyblade87 Nice to see you post, once again! And yupp, that will do nicely. Well posted~ I've been thinking about what reaction to have Joshua have to you for quite a while~! XD
@Eklispe@Pikmin Eye Aaaah, strategy at work! Let's see if the enemies have something to answer that with~! Nicely posted, both of you~ As soon as Lasrever posts, I can totally answer.
That said, I'm going to need to attend something this week-end that's been taking most of my energy to prepare for. I'll see about the possibility to get a post in anyway, but if not, you should be informed as to why. Now I'm going to go collapse for a while.

@Pyromaniacwolf I'll just say for a bit, the Pokémon of the enemies was not considered in the slightest when making the match-ups, so you just ended up unlucky in that. Sorry about that. Haha. In any case. Nicely posted.
And yes, you can give the command to do two moves. However, doing so will delay the execution of the second move and quite possibly give the enemy move priority and such things. You're basically using a turn, which gives the enemy time to have a turn of their own with the growl.
Like, for instance. Claire had Ralia first do a Growl and then a Confusion. Sven was definitely hit by Growl, but might have reached Ralia in time for when the Confusion happens. Had Ralia done Confusion first, then it would without a doubt have hit, though yeah, Sven might still have reached her and would then have done not-softened damage. Though, then maybe Ralia would have managed to attack twice. In any case, each move will still expand time, giving them the commands for two moves at the same time won't make the moves somehow take less time to make. Though, yes, it does make the trainer take less time to make the commands, so it can still be time-effective. Haha.
Edit: To add to that. Had Claire ONLY commanded to use Growl or Confusion, it would have taken extra time to make an additional command, which would mean that maybe Ralia wouldn't be making the second move by the time Sven was reaching her. Which would then give these kinds of combos a time-advantage, yes. ... But they still expand time, is what I'm trying to say. Logic. Hahaha.
@Pink Madness Uuuuuuum. Tail Whip is actually not a move used to strike the enemy with the tail. You're just... wagging the tail, and somehow that decreases the enemy's defense. Still, yeah. I can still allow that to go like that, hahaha. Nicely posted.
@Keyblade87 Glad to hear! Looking forward to your post, then!
@Lasrever You're fighting on the streets in the sub-urbs of Pureplain City. This likely mean you're actually fighting on asphalt, though if you're right by the lab there's grass surrounding each building just for the sake of letting everyone live nicely, so you could be fighting on that grass. It's likely too thin, though. There may be some trees here and there in between buildings, but otherwise ther'es just streets, poles for light or cables overhead and the buildings themselves. Does that paint a rough picture?

I ATTEMPTED AND FAILED TO WRITE REVIEWS, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING HELP ME I'M SCARED, BUT I WANTED TO GIVE FEEDBACK, SO *hides in corner*
I apologize if I got everything wrong and offended someone. Woah. Hahahahahaha. … … …

I... know nothing about poetry, so I can attempt writing it when I learned the rules, but I sure as heck can't critique it! Good thing we have McHaggis here, I suppose! XD
Edit: Ah. It says "alternating quatrains". What's "alternating"!? Should something change between the different quatrains!? Something I don't know and have definitely messed up!? AAaaaah, I'm doomed...

@Delta44 Alright~ In the meantime, I reward those that posted fast, now that I can!
I'm allowing you to react to the enemy attacks after I write that they attempt them. Which means, in my own post, I will be writing how your counter-measure worked. If you wrote ONLY the counter-measure, then in the next post I will only write the result, and skipped the rest. If you also write your next action, then I will write the result of that as I can do both the opponent's counter-measure and the result of it, as I have now.
If I have written that the enemy attacks, and you find that you will definitely take the blow, then feel free to write about taking the hit. If it happens that the hit would faint you, I'd likely have written about it in my own post. If you don't know, then you can leave it with an unclear ending, or just ask me and we'll clarify any way we can. Hahaha. I consider myself a reasonable individual. Any problems, report them to me~
Oh, and triple-battle people? You can totally discuss tactics. Double-battle people too. Haha.

Maple nodded happily as everyone gave their names. 'Let's have a good match~!'
Simon grinned at Martin's response, meeting his gaze with determination. 'We'll see about that...!'
'…' Ellyn was silent to Martin's words to her, but she did meet his gaze with a blank look. Eventually, she gave a small nod to him, whatever it could mean, but she did look a bit more focused now. A bit.
'Alright! This battle is on!' Simon made a grab into the air with his fist seeing the two first opponents coming out and hardening. He grinned widely, looking forward...
'#2! Use...' He suddenly silenced, his excited expression dawdling. He reached into his pocket and took out a Pokédex, clicking on it and looking at the screen, his Hoppip jumping with light steps on the ground in front of him. … Simon's expression suddenly went pale, staring down at the Pokédex which was telling it Hoppip's moves.
'… JACQUES!' He cried out towards the Elite Four, who smirked back at Simon's despairing expression.
'SHE DOESN'T KNOW ANY DAMAGING MOVES! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO-!?' Simon demanded, wide-eyed.
Jacques chuckled by himself, looking back at Simon with a calm, almost pleased expression. 'I seem to remember you specifically asking me for ”the Greatest Challenge”, did you not?' He replied, in a pleased voice.
'KH-!' Simon recoiled, waving his arms around. 'I-I did say that! And I meant it! But-' He waved his arms around some more, panicking lightly.
'…' Kalmia gave Jacques a very disapproving stare from the side, while Jacques just smiled proving that the games he was playing most certainly did not exclude his own hopefuls...
'Tah-hah, don't worry about it...' Maple smiled to him from the side, though she seemed a little disheartened that her ally was...
'Ah!' Maple suddenly flinched as Abigail pointed her out as someone who was going down, and then commanded to water-gun the Magby. '… Magby!' Maggy clenched her fists and stared forward at the Wooper, looking focused but troubled. 'Ah! Oh, no!' Maple suddenly exclaimed. 'Maggy's weak to water! What to...'
'…!' Simon's panic came to a dead-stop as his eyes refocused and was filled with a purpose. It appeared he had come up with something. '… #2!' He shouted out. 'TAKE THAT WATER-GUN, AND THEN USE SYNTHESIS!' He commanded, and immediately after, without delay...
'HOP!' The few seconds of a pause between the actual command and the water gun gave the Hoppip the time it needed to jump in front of the Magby, the light Pokémon gripping the ground before taking the beam of water to the face, Maggy looking on with a surprised face behind. … Not very effective! #2 smiled, as it absorbed the sunlight from above and healed the damage it had taken with Synthesis, a green little glow coming over it!
'Maple!' Simon commanded, the girl blinking with realization, looking surprised at Simon, who was gleaming with fierce determination. 'Maggy's the only Pokémon we have that can harm that Aron! #2 will defend you from the Wooper, so go ahead!' Simon grinned, his fist closing with his new-found goal in hand. 'Alright, #2! Be ready to heal, 'CAUSE WE'RE GONNA TANK! WE'LL BE THE VERY BEST TANK, LIKE NO-ONE EVER WAS!'
'HOP!' #2 smiled ever so happily, the Hoppip starting to jump playfully in-between Winston and Maggy, looking like it wanted to tease the Water/Ground Pokémon.
Jacques chuckled in personal amusement at Simon's determination. Seems like he found a way.
'O-OKAY!' Maple grinned in excitement as she looked forward at the Aron. 'Increasing your physical defense, eh? … That's not gonna help! Maggy, EMBER THE STEEL-THING!' Maple pointed forward at Aron with the shovel, and Maggy reacted.
'Maaaaaag!' The Magby smirked, before leaning it's head back and then spitting forward a fast single-burst of fire directed at Aron. It'd be difficult to dodge unless Aron focused entirely on dodging, but that would make it difficult to perform more actions. The part Rock-type meant the fire attack would not be super effective, but regardless, Magby's family are known for fairly powerful fire-attacks, and Aron's might not be as known for its Special Defense, which could make this dangerous.
'More embers, more embers, MORE EMBERS! BURN IT!' Maple demanded, waving her shovel almost dangerously through the air around her, her demands to burn Aron somehow not filled with any malicious tones at all, sounding just plain excited. While Maggy couldn't fire more than one fireball before Aron's next move, it was clear they weren't currently planning on using any other move in the future, either. More embers were on the way.
'…' Ellyn looked over towards Martin, looking like she was considering something. The Natu also turned, looking at Nincada. '...' While it was difficult to read the Natu's expression, there was an impression that the two Pokémon might have thought something similar. Then... 'Bird. Avoid the Aron if it approaches you. Otherwise, peck the bug.' She commanded.
'...' Without a sound, the Natu jumped forward. For a flightless bird, it was really fast, and it was making a beeline for Nincada, likely faster than what Nincada could dodge. While Peck was super-effective, Nincada has excellent defenses and had also just recently used Harden, raising said defense additionally. Still, Natu's flying-type Pecks could possibly very quickly build damage if left unattended.

'Donna. I am pleased to have this battle with you.' Cathia said, nodding earnestly, before looking with a serious expression at Flame as she appeared. … Cathia blushed just a slightest. '… Your Vulpix is beautiful, too.' She reported, looking down at it. Then... she nodded. 'Then let's begin.'
'Flabébé, Tackle.' She said with a calm voice, commanding her Pokémon to use... the only real move it could use in this situation, regrettably. Cathia's expression might have been a little troubled as she gave the command.
'Flaaaaaa~' The Pokémon was having none of it! It looked so incredibly happy as it drifted into the air, before catching speed somehow and glide-tackled down towards Flame with the happiest expression on the planet.

Ewan nodded at Claire's words to start, and seemingly completely ignored the comment about crying when he lost. That wasn't likely, instead he was just going to immediately start give commands to his Swinub at the same time as Claire was.
'Sven. The opponent will attack from afar. Run directly for the target, always. Tackle.' Ewan showed off that he knew a bit of what the opponent was capable of already through his studies that got him to earn his Pokémon.
'Swi!' Sven confirmed that it understood, and wasted no time immediately dashing headlong towards Ralia when the battle began. And... the pig-Pokémon was faster than one could have thought, leaping headlong and was closing the distance disturbingly fast.
The cry came out fast. The Growl echoed over the field of battle, and Sven twitched mid-run as it was unable to avoid having its Attack be softened by the move. However, it didn't stop. Sven would quickly be approaching Ralia's position when she was charging up her next attack...
If she continued with that, it looked like they'd likely hit each other at the same time.
