Shima opened one of her eyes a crack, checking to see what the smaller poochyena was doing. Seeing her chance, she hopped up on all fours and charged at him in another tackle. Her fur sizzled with electricity briefly as she charged, showing her growing excitement from her first battle. Sami cheered as Shima charged, giving the electrike more confidence in her batteling abilities.
Arani grinned at her opponent as the bigger poochyena charged in for another tackle. The fire lizard drew in a breath and released it in a growl, side stepping after the growl ended in an attempt to dodge the oncoming attack. Jenni cheered excitedly from the sidelines, forgetting about the stragedy for the moment as she watched Arani battle.

((You can't dodge on Jenta unless you're on Fog Path, or used a move like sand attack or double team.))
The first thing the poochyena knew about the attack was the impact of the short canine, which knocked him forward, end over end. It was also the last. He knocked his head hard on the floor, and saw nothing but stars until blackness over took him. The poochyena sprawled flat, and loose, causing the few pokemon who were watching him to set up yips, barks and howls of dismay.
For a moment, the larger, female leader of the pack looked up, confused. The battle had taken more out of her than she thought, but not enough to send up that kind of dismay among her pack. What had happened? She saw the silly pup, and wrinkled her muzzle in a snarl. She lifted her head, and howled angrily, wanting to thrash the enemy electrike, but knowing that she couldn't get to Shima until after she had taken out the charmander.

Shima watched the poochyena tumble across the floor and lay still. She sat on her haunches, breathing hard, tongue lolling. Sami hugged Shima, wrapping her arms gently around the electrike's neck for a brief moment. "That was an awesome battle, Shima." Sami said quietly with a grin. Remembering why she came to this floor, Sami quickly maximized a pokeball and threw it at the fainted poochyena.
Arani looked over towards Shima, seeing she had won her first battle. Turning her attention back to her opponent, the charmander ran towards the poochyena, hoping to attack while she was distracted. Jenni gave her cousin a thumbs up sign and a smile before returning her attention back to her battle just as Arani went in for another attack.

The pokeball hit the poochyena, and shook only twice before binging with a capture. Just a few feet away, a howl of greater disappointment went up, as the rest of the pack saw Arani dart under their leader's guard. Her tiny claws bit into the poochyena's coat, and dragged through the fur to find flesh. The fresh sting to her heaving flanks was enough, she toppled, too weak to do anything but lie and glare up at the charmander, growling softly.
All around the pack yipped and barked, wanting to rush to her side, and comfort her in the moment of weakness, but not daring to while the humans and the trained pokemon were there. Humans were dangerously aggressive creatures after all, and they had just beaten the poochyena leader. In the fullness of time the stronger members of the pack would probably chanllenge her for her position, but for now there was the common enemy.
((Arani has defeated a level 7 poochyena Arani gained 2 levels Arani is now level 7 Arani learned Ember
You captured a poochyena!
Stats:
Species: Poochyena Name: ? ? ? Gender: Male Level: 5 Moves: Tackle, Howl Ability: Run Away - Unless this pokemon is affected by a move or ability such as Mean Look or Arena Trap, it will always be able to run away. Personality: Eager to please, and quite uncoordinated, this puppy wants affection and attention. He is very happy to return that attention, and loves to play. If he is hurt -- and he does get hurt by a lack of attention -- he will mope around unhappily, but perk right up for a hug or a treat.
Role Play Options:
- You may capture the other poochyena, and time warp - Just time warp - Continue RPing like normal.
Just a note of caution: the furthest point you can warp to is three days ahead, as Arani at least, and your new growlithe will hit the level cap. If you want to raise your other pokemon and warp again you will have to initiate another battle, and thus time warp afterwards. The pokemon at the level caps will not gain levels, but the rest of your party will, and the eggs will have more time to mature.

Sami picked up the pokeball and released her newly caught poochyena, who sat with his ears and head down, wishing he wasn't released so he wouldn't have to see his former packmates and leader. <You batteled well.> Shima complimented from where she sat watching him moping. Sarge lifted his head to look at the electrike, perking up from her compliment. <Thanks, but you're much better at batteling than I am, and smarter too.> He looked over at his former leader, saw her laying on the floor in defeat. Perhaps she wasn't as strong as the pack had thought she was, or maybe the charmander had outsmarted her. Either way, the pack was in need of a new leader.
Jenni rubbed Arani's head briefly, feeling the scales under the palm of her hand. "Good battle, Arani." She murmmured to the charmander before standing. She looked at the defeated poochyena laying on the floor and then the pack, wondering if she should capture the leader or challenge another member to a battle. Deciding not to battle, she tossed a pokeball at the defeated leader, waiting silently to see if the capture would be successful (I know I spelled that wrong..).
((I think I'll use the time warp, it'll put Sami's egg up to one day to hatching and Jenni's to two. And thier new pokemon can get trained in the meantime. I don't mind if Jenni captures the poochyena, she can catch another during the time warp or I'll rp another battle with one after the time warp. I have a feeling she'll be difficult for Jenni and the rest of her team, but it could be fun to see the outcome.))

Successful -- My spell checker says that you spelled it right XD...
The pokeball rocked back and forth furiously, slowing only by the forth rock, and finally dinging a capture on the fifth. The stats flashed across the pokedex screen for the poochyena.
Poochyena Name: ? ? ? Gender: Female Level: 7 Moves: Tackle, Howl Ability: Quick Feet - If pokemon is frozen, poisoned, or paralyzed the speed of the pokemon increases. Personality: Agressive and commanding this poochyena is very ambitious, which occassioned her rise to leadership among her small group of poochyena in the Kobayashi Building. She can be affectionate, especially to those she sees as under her protection, but it might take a while to get over the sting of being defeated and captured.
Anyway: Three day time warp, ho!
Also, in a time warp, it isn't possible to capture pokemon. Before and after yes, but the warp is just a quick training tool.
Shima - Level 9 1/4 Shima learned leer
Eddie - Level 8 Eddie learned Sand Attack
Sarge - Level 8
Sami's egg - one day to hatch
Arani - level 10 Arani learned Smokescreen
Growlithe - level 10 Growlithe learned Ember
Poochyena - Level 10 Poochyena learned Sand Attack
Jeni's egg - two days to hatch
~ ~ ~
The sunlight was soft on the carpeted floor of the pokemon center's bedroom. The two bumk beds piles on either side of the wall spoke of the level of occupancy that the pokemon center could have during a given season. Sami's egg rocked and trembled every so often, welcoming the warmth and the sun, watched over as it was by the fuzzier of Sami's pokemon. The shell wasn't cracking yet, but it had been clear last night when the two cousins went to bed that it would soon.
Over on Jenni's side of the room, her egg wasn't so much moving, as it was steaming. The leathery shell was hard, and hot near the steam vents, but just warm on the bottom, although there was a slight worry about anything above the three vents getting singed, as some of the more curious pokemon in both groups now knew.

Sami rolled onto her side facing the wall, away from the window and the bright light. Sarge hopped onto the bottom bunk, where his trainer was sleeping and licked her face affectionately until Sami opened her eyes. <The egg is moving, Sami! It won't be long until it hatches.> Sami turned her head, sitting up quickly and hitting her head on the bottom of the top bunk. Rubbing her head, she swung her legs over the edge of the bed and watched the egg for a moment, smiling brightly. She noticed Jenni's egg was steaming and yelled for her cousin to get up. "Get up, Jenni! Look at your egg."
Jenni groaned, but opened her eyes and looked at her egg, which was steaming. "Cool!" She said, standing up to get a better look at the egg. Her stomach growled loudly, which was answered by Arani's stomach growls. "Let's go get some breakfast, then challenge the gym for our first badge." Everyone agreed, so they went down for a hardy breakfast. Once everyone had eaten, the girls headed to the gym, opening the doors and entering. "We're here to challenge the gym!" Jenni shouted before her cousin had a chance to.
((Archie (Jenni's growlithe) already knows ember. The move was listed with his stats in the wishing well thread.))

"Eighteenth floor," the door man said to the girls politely. "Carmen is probably painting up there, but you should feel free to head on up. You've read the sign telling you about her pokemon, haven't you? She trains Normal types, but loves the move Hidden Power."
In fact, on the eighteenth floor Carmen was not painting, but using charcoal, having decided to try to get out of her comfort zone and experiment with something easier to clean off than oils and acrylics. Plus, the black on the news print really gave her picture of Cezanne blasting of an icy Hidden Power some neat effects.

"Thank you." Sami said politely, heading to the elevator. They entered as the doors opened and pressed the button for the eighteenth floor. They exited the elevator and entered the gym. "We'd like to challenge Carmen, if she's available."
((I keep forgetting about the skyscrapers...))

"Oh, yes, I am!" Carmen jumped up, wiping her sooty hands on her jeans. She looked at the black smudges and frowned. Note to self: Don't rub messy hands on nice pants. She smiled, putting away the drawing. "I'm Carmen Diego the gym leader of Ruby City. You want a double battle, I'm guessing? Or we could just fight one on one, so one of you faces my sentret, and the other my zigzagoon.
"Either way, since I'm probably your first Tejan Gym, I guess I should go over some basics. Most Tejan gym leaders have a larger selection of pokemon to choose from, such as they have a whole team of six, by you get to chose two or three from those six to battle them. I'm a little different, in that I have only two pokemon, and you must battle them. All of us are required to post the stats of our pokemon in a public place, so you know moves and levels, and have a good idea of how you want to train your pokemon. I keep my list on a placard over there, but you can also e-mail a gym leader with your pokedex's e-mail system if you want to get the information that way."
She breathed out. Carmen was pretty certain that she had covered everything. "So, let's sort out our battle style, and if you have any questions now, feel free to ask. Does that sound good?"

The girls looked at each other, shrugged and took a pokeball from their belts. The threw them onto the field, an eevee and growlithe emerging from the pokeballs. Eddie looked around, glancing at Archie standing beside him. <I guess we're gonna battle.> The eevee said quietly, pointing out the obvious. Archie merely rolled his eyes and looked straight ahead, waiting for the double battle to start.
((This'll be my first double battle, but I'll try my best.))

"All right, then, double battle it is," Carmen tossed her two pokeballs onto the ground. The room lit with the double flash, and her two normal types stood there. The sentret nodded at his two opponents. <Nice to meet you.>
The zigzagoon was less impressed. She shook out her fur, and then looked over her shoulder at Carmen. The gym leader breathed out. "Alright, Monet, Defense Curl! Cezanne, Headbutt the eevee!"
Monet, slightly faster than Cezanne, quickly rolled into a curl. He felt a breeze go by as Cezanne charged past him, her coarse fur bristling. The brown rodent pokemon tensed his muscles experimentally, feeling himself get a sure sense of his solidity and blocking as his female partner charged the rare eevee.
((Note on double-battle rules: While an attack can't miss entirely, it is possible for one teammate to take the attack for the other.))

Sami waited until Cezanne was barreling towards them before ordering an attack. "Counter with sand attack!" The eevee wasted no time in flinging sand towards the zigzagoon, lowering her accuracy and hopefully stopping the attack all together.
Jenni watched as Eddie flung sand towards the zigzagoon before looking to the other opponent. "Let's start out with ember!" Archie spat out tiny embers of fire towards the sentret, waiting to see what would happen to both opponents.

(Right... so... It's been years since I've done this...)
Cezanne stopped as sand blinded her temporarily, halting her attack to sneeze and rub her eyes. Carmen face palmed, wishing she could have saw that earlier before calling out, "Forget the headbutt and use growl." The Zigzagoon complied, growling cutely at her opponents to lower their offensive stance.
Monet, on the other hand, experienced the feeling of his fur charring. Uncurling, he patted out the small flames on his coat and focused his attention on the fire puppy.
"Monet, use hidden power on the Growlithe." Nodding, the Sentret gathered his internal powers into small orbs of energy around him before launching said orbs towards the orange-red Pokemon.

Eddie flattened his ears as Cezanne growled, glancing pleadingly at Sami. If she saw it, she ignored it and called out his next attack. "Two can play that game, tail whip!" Eddie focused his attention back on the zigzagoon, delivering a tail whip as soon as the attack was demanded, then waited for his next command on his side of the battlefield.
Said red-orange pokemon took the hit from the orbs and glared at the sentret. "Let's fight back with bite!" Jenni ordered with determination. Archie bared his fangs and charged at Monet, aiming his bite at one of his front legs.
OOC: Sorry to keep you waiting, I stopped checking in as often as I had been. You know how life can be so hectic and cruel sometimes. I lost my mom back in November, just 12 days before my 36th birthday. Speaking of my birthday, I'd like a nice big surprise for my present, can't think of anything I want or need at the moment. Maybe a couple of TMs or an HM?
