Rain walks into Ikagen city, briefly pausing to wonder about the name, then walks into the pokemon center. "Can I have my pokemon healed, please?" She politely asks the nurse.

The nurse, a middle-aged brunette, looked up. "Yeah, sure." She took Rain's Pokemon, and ran them through the healer. "Hmm...your combusken's a little chilled. We're you training her on Route 2? Sometimes the mist can chill fire Pokemon a bit...one second." She ran the fighting chicken through again. "There. All good."
She did a quick scan of Rain's active team. "Right now you have Combusken, Lombre, and Barboach with you for Group 1...oh, and your 'Group 0'," as she said this, she made air quotes with her fingers, "egg. It looks like it should hatch soon. Oh, and for Group 2 you have Shelgon, and for Group 3 you have Horsea. Is this okay? Or would you like me to switch your team around?" The woman patted her computer. "It saves you a trip to the other side of the room..."

"No, that's good, thank you," Rain says.

(Just to get Benny up to level 20.)
Rain picks up her pokeballs, and heads out, returing to route 2.

Rain walks back into the Ikagen city with her hands in her pockets as she thinks over her strategy for the upcoming battle with Matthew. She goes into the pokemon center first, naturaly. "Can I have my pokemon healed?" She asks a nurse.

The nurse, a young man with a sleepy expression (it was early in the morning, and he was at the end of his night shift) turned to her and mumbled a "sure". He took her Pokeballs, then slipped them one by one into the machine, scanning over the display with a bored expression.
"Okay, so you have six Pokemon with you, four under the maximum. For Group 1, you have Torchic, Lombre, Barboach, and Eevee. For Group 2, you have Shelgon. For Group 3, you have Horsea. Would you like to withdraw four Pokemon, and would you like a suggestion on which three Pokemon to use against Matthew?" The boy asked this in a sleepy monotone. He always had to tell every trainer the same...thing...every...single...time...
And there weren't any exciting injuries to treat, either. It was just a routine machine-heal...how boring...

((Ah, sorry, missed that. Well, just go ahead and either ask for advice or get to the gym...personally *glares at Bunnyman*, I'd go with Hera, Lyn, and Benny. But just make sure Hera never goes up against Matthew's diglett...you may want her to go last as a "last resort", since fire-types are weak to ground-type attacks, and she could totally take care of one rhyhorn, and it would guarantee her not going up against the diglett. Plus, you may not have to use her, since Lyn and Benny have some great advantages here. ))

"No, I think I'll be fine. Where is the gym anyway?" Rain asks.

The boy jerked his thumb at the map on the wall, until he realized that the trainer would probably want something more out of him. Bah, he wasn't a morning person, and no one paid him to be nice -- actually, no one paid him, period. Stupid volunteer summer program.
"You go out the doors, and take a left. Just continue straight down the street, looking for a massive slab-like building on the right. You can't miss it. The ground is usually shaking."

"Thanks," Rain says, and heads out of the Pokemon Center. She follows the instructions, and walks towards the gym deep in thought. Okay, this gym leader uses rock and ground types, I think I'm pretty much set for that, I gotta be careful anyway, can't underestemate my opponent, she thinks.
She remembered back a couple of years ago, she had done some training in the Viridian City Gym, with Giovanni (she didn't really know about the Team Rocket thing), and that's where she learned a lesson. "Even if you have a type advantage, an opponent can still win with the proper strategy, you have to think of a strategy to counter their strategy," she remembered being taught.
Now she was up against the second Gym in Jenta, so it was time to get this over with. She reaches the gym, and opens the doors slowly.

A middle aged man looked up from his push broom, as he moved more sand toward the walls. "Hello, girl! You're here to challenge me, right?" his voice echoed off the stone floors and ceiling. "Come in! I'm just cleaning up the mess some idiot with a magnitude made!" (Of course, he was only saying 'idiot' because that idiot had managed to trounce him with self same magnitude). "Just let me put my broom away, and let's get started!"

"Right, your Matthew I'm guessing? I'm Rain Skylark," Rain says, formaly introducing herself. Benny or Lyn are probably my best bets right now, I've just got to decide which one to start with, she thinks.

"Rain?" Mathew had to keep from making a face. Oh crap. It sounded as though she was a water trainer. Water trainers were so annoying.
He walked over to one side of the arena and put the broom down. Squaring his shoulders he then walked to the second of floor farthest from the door, and took out his first pokeball. "Right, Doe, let's get things off to a rockin' start!"
He tossed the pokeball into the air, and a geodude appeared. "Well, Miss Rain, this shall be a three on three battle. The first person to lose all of their pokemon will be, well, the loser. As challenger, you can have the first attack."
Although he really only said this because Doe's speed was so abysmal.

"Alright, I choose you, Benny!" Rain says, and lets out her Barboach. "Now, lets start with a water gun attack!"

Yep, he thought to himself. A pesky water trainer. I hate water trainers, they're so annoying.
Meanwhile, his geodude simply rolled a bit to the left, avoiding the brunt of the water. However, her right arm got soaked through, and she had to grit her teeth to keep from howling in pain. In fact, her arm was so sore and limp she could really move it...just drag it behind her in a pitiful manner.
"Doe! Rock Throw." Matthew frowned. Even if barboach weren't weak to rock-type attacks, they certainly couldn't move well on land...and that meant a higher likelihood of getting squashed under a barrage of heavy boulders. And squashing things was always an easy way to take out flimsier water-types.
Doe grunted, and used her left hand to lob a few really large boulders at Benny. Then she slammed her fist against a stalagmite, and the resulting blow threw another group of rocks at the mud fish. She figured that two separate halves of the attack - both with heavy rock - would increase her chances of squashing the water-devil.
That, and she also figured that talking would be a bad thing, since she probably would end up simply mumbling. Acute pain in her arm (and the inability to move it) sometimes did that to her...and it was sort of embarrassing.

Benny waits until the right moment, which is about when the Geodude hits the Stalagtite, and uses another water gun. Then he tries to wiggle out of the way, not very successfully, but he manages to miss getting most of his body hit by the rocks, but gets caught on the end of his body. He probably thinks I'm a water trainer, why do they always think that? Its really annoying, why did I have to be named Rain? Rain thinks.

Doe caught the water gun face on. The jet of pressurized water knocked her back into the sand-padded walls, and Matthew bit the inside of his lip. "Doe! Get up and --"
The boulder pokemon rolled over covered in sand. However, she didn't respond to Matt, or even move after that. He waited a few moments, and then returned the rock type. He brought out another pokeball, and tossed it up and down a few times, before letting it arc over the feild. The flash of white as it hit the ground revealed nothing, at first, but then the ground rumbled and a digglet quickly popped out of the rock, displacing gravel everywhere.
<Hello,> he squeaked cheerily. <Matt, would it kill you to make the floor soil instead of rock? It's not exactly a picnic to tunnel through.>
"Tel, it's a battle right now, magnitude!"
<Oh, right> Tel popped underground for a moments and then popped back out as the ground rippled out around him like water rather than solid rock, cracks zigzagging behind the massive shock wave as it raced towards Benny.
((FYI: Tel used a magnitude 8))

"Benny, Magnitude attack!" Rain commands, and Benny uses his own Magnitude attack at the same time. If memory serves me correctly, this attack will still hit that Diglett if its underground, while it won't beat it, it will at least do some damage, and draw it out... Rain thinks.
(Its true, Magnitude and Earthquake hit when the opponent is using Dig, and with more power.)
