Lawrance walked into town carrying his pink puffball with a slightly crazy Butterfree trailing behind him. He looked around, grinning.
"Well, let's head to the Pokèmon Center..." said Lawrance. "I swear, those few hours on the Route felt like a month to me..."
The three headed into the nearest Pokèmon center, hoping to finally get some rest. Shouldn't they know hoping for peace here is useless?

An Asian-Jentan nurse popped her head up from behind the counter as Lawrence walked in. "Ah! Hello there, would you like to heal your Pokemon? Nurse Joy is on maternity leave, so I will be manning the counter in her absence. My name is Junko, by the way."

"Wow... This is a first..." said Lawrance. "And sure. Route 1 is kinda annoying. And causes quite a bit of damage to Pokèmon..."
He handed his Pokèmon over to the nurse.
"If you rip off your outfit and say an introductory poem and reveal yourself as a member of some sort of evil team, I hurt you. Badly." he stated.

Junko blushed at the "rip off your outfit" part before she realized he was referencing a TV show. She simply took his Pokeballs with a huff, and ran them through the machine without another word on the subject.
"Your Pokemon are fine except for minor wounds and slightly-low health levels. I just need to run them through for a routine healing...and...they're all done!" Junko grabbed the Pokemon-holders, and slid them across the counter towards Lawrence. "Now then, that's all the Pokemon you have...so...if you want to go to the gym, go out the door, take a left, and go until you see the Convention Center. Then take a right, and head straight down until you see it. It's pretty hard to miss...it's got a huge sign."
As she verbally escorted the trainer out the door, she gave him one last "good luck" before he was out in the bright Sapphire City sunshine.

He followed Junko's directions, eventually reaching the Convention Center. He hung a right and walked down the road and, not paying much attention to where he was going, ran into the sign.
"Ow... Solid signs hurt." he commented.

Hearing the loud sound of two large objects colliding with each other, Arisa rushed outside.
"What happened?" The older woman huffed as she saw the dizzy boy. Giving him a slightly worried look, she crossed her parka-covered arms. "Did you...run into the sign, or something?" She glanced sideways at the said sign. "I sure hope you didn't dent it or anything..."

"yeah... I'm fine... No possible internal bleeding here..." he said sarcastically.
Lawrance turned his attention from the solid object which evilly stepped in his way to the woman in the parka.
"Wow... And I thought it was just Route 1 that was crazy..." he said.

Raising an eyebrow, Arisa looked down at the boy. "Route 1...so...you're here to challenge my gym, then? I sure hope you've brought something without a huge weakness to my Pokemon. For some reason, nobody seems to ever pick the fighting type...and fire types really getcha nowhere," she sneered, thinking of all the suprised charmander trainers who went down to her seel and lapras.
Beckoning Lawrence inside, she pointed to a large room. "There's the arena. I'll be in there...if you want to challenge me, just register your name with my assistant," a middle-aged man at the counter waved, "and meet me inside. I'll be waiting..."
And with a swish of her parka, she flounced into the arena room.

"This is gonna be a loooooong journey..." he stated as he approached the desk. "<Look on the bright side, we get to gain experience battling a new type of Pokèmon!>" stated Bouncy. "<And puddles can't get me now!>" said Kooky. "<Rain can.>" said Bouncy. "<I have Confusion and I'm not afraid to use it.>" said Kooky. "Please let me freeze in this arena..." said Lawrance. (*/sarcasm* Writer's block ish teh awesome!) |

After Lawrence gave him his name ((hahahah, auto auto!)) the man entered it into the computer, and brought up his profile. "Aaaand...you're all set! Please follow me, Lawrence Govan," he said as he walked out from behind the large counter and into the spacious arena room. Motioning to the trainer box on the closer side of the room, he explained the rules. "You are to use three Pokemon against Arisa's three. It is a double battle, so two are to be out at all times unless only one remains conscious. The challenger is free to switch Pokemon at any time, though Arisa isn't."
Arisa grinned, and grabbed two of her Pokeballs. "Let's get started!"
The two objects were thrown onto the arena, and two similar Pokemon appeared. A seel and lapras noticed Lawrence and tensed up for the coming fight.
"<Wonder if he'll have a fire type,>" the seel snickered.
"Challenger attacks first," Arisa called to Lawrence. "So send out your two Pokemon, and let's get this started!"

Bouncy and Kooky entered the battle arena first.
"<No comments about water getting me and this'll go smoothy...>" said Kooky.
"<No promises, but I'll keep it to a minimum.>" said Bouncy.
"Bouncy, Sing! Kooky, Confusion!" commanded Lawrance.
Bouncy gave its lullaby as Kooky fired a purple/red blast (taken from the Pokèmon games, as I'm not sure what the attack is in the anime...)

((Just realized Sing has an accuracy of 55%. That's roughly 1/2...so I guess, for this battle, every time there are two Pokemon out, one will go to sleep, but the other won't, unless you're Pokemon are losing. X3 ))
Seel and Lapras suddenly found themselves growing rather drowsy. Lapras, however, was able to shake it off, and glared down at the pink furry ball.
Seel wasn't so lucky. He suddenly hit the floor, as his vision turned into one of dreams. Snoozing softly, he was then promptly hit by the beam of the Confusion, and rolled farther back towards Arisa as he took the attack full-on.
"Argh...wake up, you lazy little..." Arisa muttered as her seel's health levels dropped without him even noticing. "Anyway...'Pras! Use Hail!"
Her Lapras nodded, and raised her head. Letting out a strange growl-song, a thin cloud appeared along the roof of the room as the temperature dropped.
The referee nodded, and handed a heavy umbrella to Lawrence. "Just in case...we don't want lawsuits!"
The clouds suddenly started to spew sporadic ice-balls, all of which began to strike the battling Pokemon.

Lawrance took the umbrella and sighed.
"This isn't gonna end well..." he muttered as he opened it. "Kooky, Confusion! Bouncy, Return!"
The two, after being pelted by hail, used their respective attacks. Bouncy ran in for a supercharged tackle and Kooky fired the beam again.

((Who'd they run at? You can say where they aim...it's just up to the mod if they actually hit where they're aiming. I'm going to assume Bouncy went for Seel and Kooky went for Lapras.))
Lapras wasn't doing to well. This Confusion hit head-on before she could retaliate, and she was blinded. Suddenly, the world was spinning before her, and her vision kept blurring and refocusing.
"<Wha? Oh? Water Gun?>" She asked. She had no idea that Arisa hadn't actually said anything. Unfortunately, the water gun hit the floor, causing her to slip and fall. She smacked her head against the floor, and ended up basically attacking herself. Staggering upright, she still couldn't tell if Kooky was above or below her. "<Owwww...>"
Meanwhile, Seel still hadn't woken up, and lost most of the rest of his health from taking a second attack directly.
Arisa just shook her head, though she was impressed. Usually beginning trainers didn't even use attacks that caused status conditions as a secondary effect...they just went for direct attacks every single move.

(Augh... My brain done gone dead on me...)
Kooky couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Bouncy, one more Return on Seel! Kooky, Tackle Lapras!" commanded Lawrance.
Bouncy charged toward Seel once more. Once Kooky's laughter died down, she flew straight at Lapras.

Seel was knocked into the wall, and the combined damage caused to him by both collisions was enough to knock him out. Lapras took the Tackle better, and merely shrugged it off, since she maneuvered so the attack hit her shell.
Arisa recalled her seel with a nod. "Pretty good use of status effects. That's one down for you, two more to go. Go, Xi-Xi!"
A Pokeball flew out of her hand, and a pretty Jynx appeared, swaying her hips.
"<He went down?>" She asked her teammate in a song-like tone.
"<He went down,>" replied the lapras tiredly. "<I can't say I'm doing all that great either."
"<Then I'll try to level it out a bit!>" Jynx focused her mind toward the butterfree across the arena. She then projected a blast of psychic energy toward the bug, hoping to lower the special attack power along with the damage from Psychic.
"Pras! You try to attack, too! Use Water Gun on that igglybuff!" Arisa ordered, seeing Jynx attack on her own.
The lapras shook her head, though she couldn't fully lose the spinning sensation. Locating the normal type (or at least, so she thought), she blasted a stream of water toward it. It didn't cause her to take damage...so the move was successful!

Bouncy was hit by the jet of water while Kooky was knocked out of the sky by the powerful psychic attack.
"<I think I hate Psychic more than puddles...>" commented Kooky as she regained her spot in the air, albeit wobbling somewhat.
Lawrance recalled Kooky and tossed a second ball, along with a repeat of a previous shout, "Come on out, Marril!"
In a flash of light, Marril appeared in the arena.
"Marril, Tackle Jynx! Bouncy, Sing!" commanded Law.
The two preformed their respective attacks. Bouncy gave an encore of its lullaby while Marril charged at Jynx.

Jynx turned a bit so that Marril hit her hip, causing her to slide backwards more than take a lot of damage.
Lapras, however, keeled over, asleep.
"Not again," Arisa muttered. "Xi-Xi! Ice Beam on the igglybuff! I want that thing down! And while you're at it, kick Pras, or something..."
Jynx raised a thick hand, and a sphere of cold, solid condonsation appeared. Using her mind to force it into a beam, the cold frozen water zoomed toward Bouncy to hopefully freeze the thing into commission. She also, in the meantime, gave a psychic kick to her teammate, who turned over and muttered "<yeah, sure, I like gravy,>" without actually waking up.
