Cute Friend, Powerful Foe?

[Resha]

Resha stopped in the mid-enterance of the route, glancing around with her maroon eyes. She hadn't seen any pokemon, but she could hear their bird-like whistles and short callings from quite a distance away. She had wondered if she made the right choice when it came to which route she was starting on. Her totodile was the youngest and most low leveled pokemon in her party, and he needed quite a bit of training. She detached a small regular pokeball from her leather belt, pressed the button in the middle to make it larger, and tossed it in the air gentle. A small male totodile appeared from the red beam of light it had sent out, and was staring straight at it's trainer. Aw! You're a tough lil' cutie, aren't you? I'll name you Titan. Resha said, bending down to the totodile's height. <>Um...Sure!<> Titan chirped lightly, grinning back at her.

[Ninetales]

<Titian? I thought he was a Totodile. came a small voice, a young Rattata had stopped in the middle of the path to look at the trainer and Pokemon, a confused look on his purple face now.

[Resha]

He is a totodile, it's just a nickname I gave him. He has a lot to live up to with a name like that. Resha replied randomly, turning around and expecting to see a trainer, but instead seeing a small purple rattata. Oh! Hi there. She quickly replied, wondering if this rattata had been used to humans or not. She guessed that he/she was, seeing as how it didn't seem to hesitate coming up to her. The blue crocodile pokemon looked back at the rattata with an equaly confused expression on his face. <>You're so... Purkllllle...<> Titan stated, staring at the rattata's purple fur. I think you mean purple, not purkle, Titan. Resha giggled lightly, realizing that Tita still obviously had a lot to learn. <>Purple... Sorry.<> The totodile apologized with a sheepish grin.

[Ninetales]

<That is okay... i have been called many things.> He smiled. <SO, you just came here to go on a Pokemon journey? What is it you do? I see people come all the time yet none of them won't tell me what they do.>

[Resha]

Resha didn't even really need to think about the answer for the question. It was obvious to her, she just needed a decent simply way to word it for the rattata. But before Resha could answer, the totodile had already begun speaking. <>Resha is supposed to help train and befriend us and other pokemon so we can become strong and champion-like, and we get to battle gym leaders on the way and meet more pokemon and go on new adventures and visit new places and and and... Yeah. It's gonna be fun!<> Titan exclaimed, before looking back up at Resha. <>....Right?<> He questioned, hoping that he had gotten the question correct. Resha grinned lightly and noddec. Absolutely right. We'll have lots of fun. She smirked friendily and patted the small totodile on the head before turning her attention to the rattata. You can have fun with us too if you'd like and join us.

[Ninetales]

<Okay... but you have to battle me first, I rather give you experience if you are to fight Pokemon... so who shall I fight?> The Rattata seemed to know some basic rules, and it seemed that he didn't want to give an easy ride to anyone.

[Resha]

I think that a fair fight would be with Titan, since you two are both in the same group level. The black haired trainer turned back to the totodile and awaited his response. <>Sure! I'll play with you!<> The totodile remarked, seeming to jump up and down a few times. It was fine that he considered this battle as 'playing', but for the gym battle he'd have to take it more seriously. Resha gave her starter a simple nod, before returning to her normal height and standing up tall, talking about five steps away from the rattata and the totodile. Just tell me when youre ready and when you've had enough.

[Ninetales]

<I will have enough when I faint not before... Now let's do this.> he had picked up a trainer catch phrase it seemed. He then came at Titian with a Tackle attack.

[Resha]

Fortunately for the totodile, the rattata had used a close-range attack, but was hit by the tackle. Scratch attack! Resha had called out almost instantly as the ratatta had drawn near. The small crocodile pokemon whipped his claws forward, knowing that because the ratatta was still very close from the tackle attack, that the scratch should hit. Resha could see it now, Titan evolving into a massive blue pokemon one day. His evolved form's bulk would help him tower over the average pokemon... Feraligator was a huge pokemon, with the strength to match it. Until then however, they would have to continue battling many pokemon until he reached his croconaw and feraligatr evolution stages.

[Ninetales]

The Rattata was knocked back and right away began to wave his tail back and forth a number of times using the move tail whip.

[Resha]

The totodile's defense fell due to the tail whip attack. He wasn't exactly sure why his defense fell from a simple wagging of the tail .... Maybe it was supposed to leave him puzzled, which he was. Leer, just the same. Resha called out calmly. The totodile nodded, and seemed to almost glare at the rattata in an attempt to use his leer attack. I wonder where I could get TMs for Titan... They could be really helpful. Resha pondered for a moment, awaiting the rattata's next move.

[Ninetales]

The Leer affected him in the desired manner, ((Forgot what Leer did, sorry.))

But the Rattata charged forward with another tackle attack.


((Ugh, short post, sorry.))

[Resha]

(Leer works the same way as tail whip, it lowers the foe's defense. And short posts are alright with me.)

Try and dodge it Titan! Resha called out another order. The totodile attempted to avoid the attack, but ended up tripping over his feet, and was tackled by the rattata. Scratch it! The trainer shouted again. The totodile put a serious expression on his face, and tried to scratch the rattata with it's claws.

[Ninetales]

The Purple Rat only growled in anger at the pain but then backed up before tackling the foe again. Knowing that this was a good fight and he would be more able to be stronger, he had seen trainers and Pokemon that left the forest to come through without a care because of all the power they had.

[Resha]

The same tactics turned into the same routine, and it seemd like Resha didn't even have to yell out 'Scracth attack!' when the rattata had drawn near. By now it appeared to be the totodile's common sense to scratch the rattata only when it was up close. The small pokemon raised up it's sharpened claws, and tried to scratch the rattata as it was being tackle. The force by this tackle sent the totodile falling backwards, and made him hiss with rage.

[Ninetales]

The Scratch did connect to the Rattata and the Pokemon swayed back and forth before falling on its side defeated. <You Win.> he said with pleasure as well as being tired.


Titian has defeated a level 6 Rattata, Titian gains a level, he is now Level 6

[Resha]

Titan was panting lightly after the battle, and but he seemed to still have a fair amount of HP left. Resha gave the rattata a simple nod, and de-tached one small empty pokeball from her leather belt. <>Did I do good?<> Titan questioned, looking back up at Resha. The trainer smiled and nodded, bending down to pat both the ratatta and the totodile on the head. You both did great. Now, rattata, would you like to rest in the pokeball or would you rather stay outside?

[Ninetales]

The Purple Rat said not a word... he was sleeping and waiting for capture.

A spearow however saw the commotion and desented to face the Totodile... <Mine, that is mine... I claim the rat as my own.> It seemed the bird was a tad... crazy.

[Resha]

Resha made the usually 'awwww' sound when she realized that the rattata was already sleeping. She enlarged the pokeball, and tried to zap the rattata inside of it. Titan immediatly sent a glare at the spearow once it 'claimed' the rattata, and growled angrily at it. <>Hey! The rattata doesnt belong to you!<> He snarled angrily at the spearow, stepping closer to the bird pokemon.

[Ninetales]

The Spearow's only response was to Peck Titian on the nose. <Mine.> Was she said, Spearow were possessive freaks, and didn't take kindly to getting their stuff taken, so she did what came natural... she attacked.
