Juana stretched her arms and grinned at Tora. "How about winner takes two TP as spoils, and loser has to buy lunch today?" Juana asked.
Juana thought it would be a very dumb idea to throw Bounsweet into the path of a fire-breathing dog. As such, she decided to lead with Corphish. (Not necessarily because of its type advantage, but Corphish seemed quite eager to tussle.)
"Two Pokémon each," Juana said.
Juana vs. Tora - A Friendly, Low-stakes Bout Over Lunch
BATTLE START
"Corphish, use Bubble!" Juana called. Corphish flung open its claws and threw its mouth open, firing a stream of bubbles at Archie. (3EP) Corphish
@Silver FoxOkay, I'm back; should we use the CP system in the OOC, or the "old system" that Lugubrious and Dark Light used for their battle earlier?
(i.e.:
Old system
HP = lvl X 2 (4hp)
EP = lvl X 3 (6ep)
)
(i.e.:
Old system
HP = lvl X 2 (4hp)
EP = lvl X 3 (6ep)
)
@Silver Fox Hold on, I need to call my younger sister and help her with her homework; can we hold off on the battle for just a bit?
@Silver Fox Alright, schweetness. I've got class and a concert this evening but I'll be on tonight around 9PM EST.
@Silver FoxI think you have to copypaste the terms as well so that the GMs can know we're on the same page here
Terms:
Speed: 15 minutes to post, starting with challenger's first post.
Pokémon: 2 per trainer
Title: A Friendly, Low-stakes Bout Over Lunch
Terms: N/A
Rewards: The victor gains 2 TP from the loser, and the loser buys lunch that day.
@Balthazar007 @Silver Fox
(Also apparently abilities are for skilled trainers so poor Dewpider will have to sit this one out despite its really good ability :P)

so, um, @Balthazar007, @Dusksong, how do trainer battles work? I wasn't around when the system was explained and the section in the manual is incomplete?
Juana Perez
-Feyhollow Town-
Taking her Pokémon back from the nurse, Juana opened her Poké Balls, sizing up her now sizable crowd of Pokémon.
Juana shrugged. "Corphish got stung by Skorupi's poison pinchers, but he's fine now," she replied. Corphish and Skorupi were having some kind of staring contest. Corphish made a weird "bleh" face, causing Skorupi to blink.
"Anyways, Skorupi looks like a real feisty one," Juana continued. "Now I'm wondering if that's good for Corphish, since I know how competitive he gets; I'm sure it'll work out, though."
Bounsweet bounded over to Skorupi and Corphish. Corphish puffed up its chest, while Skorupi gave Bounsweet a calm expression, as if admitting that Corphish was better at controlling itself (at least in terms of the eye thing).
Juana looked up at Tora. "Hey, you wanna have a real quick low-stakes Pokémon battle? It'll give our Pokémon something to do." Juana shrugged her right shoulder. "I mean, you don't have to if you'd rather not, I know you were just waiting for your Skiddo and all."

-Feyhollow Wood-
Wiping her brow and smiling at Tora, Juana said, "Thank goodness; your Growlithe is one smart pup. Knowing how to not only find her way back to you, but also snag a Pokémon?"
Juana watched the Skiddo quaver. "Hey, I'm probably going to stay here for a bit to catch another Pokémon. Feel free to get that Skiddo healed up," she said to Tora.
Wandering into a clearing, Juana looked around. There was a small clump of sleeping Morelulls at the base of a tree, and a troop of Oddish marching across the forest floor. There was a Weedle on a tree, a couple of Cutieflies buzzing around, and some Flabébés picking the flowers with the help of a gentle Comfey.
A patient Victreebel hung from a branch, its mouth open for any unsuspecting bug Pokémon; a Carnivine was positioned the same way. Juana kept quiet as a Nidoking stomped through the forest. The fairies hushed as well; the power of Nidoking was not to be reckoned with.
Corphish did not care. But Juana did, and before Corphish could challenge the BIG KING, Juana and Dewpider pulled it out of the clearing.
"Not just yet, tiger," she said, waggling her finger at Corphish.
Suddenly, out of the underbrush, a poisonous stinger lashed out at Corphish, and jabbed it in the gut. Corphish was furious. The crawdad turned towards the perpetrator, a Skorupi brandishing its claws and ready to fight. Corphish prepared to snip-snip the scorpion, but fell over, frothing at the mouth.
"¡Madre de--!" Juana pulled out Corphish's Poké Ball, and checked her Pokédex; that Skorupi had poisoned Corphish.
"You need some manners knocked into you!" Juana said, pulling Corphish back into the ball. Skorupi chittered as if in challenge, eyeing Juana's other Pokémon. Corphish was no snack, but Skorupi appeared to be one angry belligerent Pokémon.
Corphish flailed about in the ball, eager to beat the toxic snot out of the Skorupi. If it's a fight it wants, then by Kyogre's big blue behind Corphish was sure as heck going to give it one!
"Not this time, amigo. You're poisoned," Juana chided Corphish.
IT'S JUST STUPID TOXINS! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!!! Corphish seemed to be saying.
"You need to rest," she pointed out. Skorupi made no other sudden moves, but it was clearly ready to use those claws and poison pinchers.
Juana put one hand on Dewpider's Poké Ball. "Okay, Skorupi, let's settle this mano e mandible," she said wih a smirk, before tossing Dewpider into the open. Dewpider landed on its spindly green legs and eyed Skorupi. The scorpion Pokémon seemed just about ready to start scrapping, and Dewpider was sort of kinda ready to oblige.
The spider Pokémon turned back to Juana with a look that said "BE CAREFUL!!!"
Skorupi let out a "Th-shk-shk-shk-shk!" and lashed out with its poisonous tail at Dewpider. Dewpider, however, skittered out of the way and sprayed a jet of bubbles from its mouth. Skorupi blocked its face, which gave Dewpider an opportunity to get up close and sting Dewpider with a Bug Bite.
The attack was not very effective, however, and Skorupi clamped Dewpider in the face with its pincers. "Shhhhsshhh!" Dewpider hissed, loosing bubbles point blank into Skorupi, before raising its abdomen and loosing parasites upon the scorpion that bit and pinced at the larger bug's carapace. Skorupi let go and started swatting at itself.
Skorupi lunged at Dewpider and bit its water bubble whole; Dewpider, however, was kept safe within its jiggling helmet, and was able to uppercut Skorupi with yet another jet of bubbles. Skorupi had to let go and cough after falling backwards.
Skorupi shook off the pain and coughed once, before going for a Knock Off, hammering Dewpider over the head and causing the Pokémon to pitch forward and nearly drop its liquid helmet. Dewpider, of course, did not appreciate being clobbered, and it was very protective of its water bubble. Ergo, the Knock Off would have to be punished with a bite to the neck.
Dewpider jumped at Skorupi and bit it, causing the scorpion to turn its back and flail wildly. Juana thought she saw Dewpider give her a look, and she lobbed the Poké Ball at Skorupi, engulfing it in a flash of red light. For good measure, Dewpider encased the Poké Ball in an orange-sized bubble. It was not sure how well that would help, since, being a river-dwelling, water-breathing spider it wasn't exactly well-versed in the ways of human technology.
The ball shook and twirled in the water bubble, and Juana stood there with her fists clenched. "C'mon... c'mon..." she muttered.
A dull click. The bubble popped and the ball dropped with that satisfying mechanical ring that Poké Ball impact made. Juana ran over and scooped up the ball, peering inside.
The Pokédex buzzed.
"Skorupi. Scorpion Pokémon. Poison/Bug type. Female.
"As soon as the tail claws close, its needle tips secrete poison. It can survive a year without food. Nature: Adamant. Loves to fight. Ability: Sniper. Moves: Poison Sting, Bite, Knock Off, Leer."
"Quite the scrapper, huh?" Juana remarked. "Not sure if you and Corphish would get along or put those pincers at each other's throats."
At mention of its name, Corphish perked up, curious about this new addition. Corphish waved its pincers at Juana and gave her an impatient frothing noise. "Lemme size up the new gal's claws!" it seemed to say.
"You want to meet our new friend right now?" Juana asked. She pressed the button on the ball, and Skorupi emerged, expecting, like, a cool fight or something.
Skorupi calmed down a bit when it realized there was no fighting going on right now.
Corphish scuttled up to Skorupi and boasted about its big crawdad claws. It puffed up a bit with pride.
Skorupi then brandished its scissor-like claws, causing Corphish to stop and marvel at their sharpness and thus inherent deadliness. They even came with poison secretions! (A fact which Corphish knew from experience.) Corphish and Skorupi got up in each other's grille, staring into each other's eyes.
Juana smelled a budding rivalry.
Juana picked up Skorupi, prompting the scorpion to flail about, not pinching anything but not realizing it was totally safe. "Whoa! Calm down!" Juana urged. She reached into her pocket and pulled out... a marshmallow? "Hey, hey, sh, sh, sh. No pinching! Calm down! I don't bite!"
Juana sat down on a tree stump and set Skorupi in her lap. She was very well aware how incredibly dangerous it was to hold a live scorpion in her lap. But it was a Pokémon, and one that she just captured, right?
She tilted the marshmallow to Skorupi's head, and the scorpion felt it with its mandibles a bit, intrigued. It was squishy, and it tasted delightfully sweet and fluffy.
Skorupi was immediately pacified by the confection.
"That's a nice scorpion," she said. "Good scorpion. No more pinching Corphish while you're here, okay?"
Corphish stuck its tongue out at Skorupi.
"Meanwhile, you need to get to the Pokémon center," Juana said, pointing firmly to Corphish.
Juana put all her Pokémon, except Bounsweet, into their capsules, and turned around, walking back to town. She entered the center, deposited her Pokémon, and waited for a bit.
