He rolled his eyes, tossing both pokeballs in his hands in thought before he allowed their hatches to click open. A bright light shot out from each of the pokeballs, one a Meowth and the other, an Azurill. The feline perched itself upon his hackles, smoothing down his fur with a few swipes of his tongue. The vain creature glanced absently towards the Azruill, uninterested, before shifting its vivid golden gaze upon his trainer before meowthing a short mew. The Azurill was more thrilled to be let out of its pokeball, hoping on its tail in an excited fashion into Braids' outstretched arms. "Now, now. Enough of that. We have business to attend to: You both need training and all we have to do is wait for the first person who enters the arena. Then you'll be on your way to be strong." The Azurill, with a sincerely sorrow filled pout, nodded, and the Meowth purred in satisfaction at the thought.

Well, didn't she look positively excited to test her new pokemon? The red headed man snorted lightly, a small grin on his face for formality, always that damnable formality. "The name's Braids. So, let's get this battle started, shall we?"

[/b] Lucien and Squirt angled their determined gazes up at their red eyed trainer, Lucien turning and scoffing lightly with an aloof air at the sight of the girl's pokemon; a mareep and a budew. Hmph.

"One on one - Lucien, you're up first."[/b] The Meowth, who had previously been eying up the female pokemon, shot up with a yelp, before hurriedly nodding and leaping onto the battlefield, a wide grin on his face as he waved towards both the female pokemon, his ladies man persona coming out. Braids absently fixed his ruddy, arrogant stare across the field, idly flicking something off his coat as he addressed her plainly."Miss Sinclair, does one on one suit you?"[/b]

Sinclair raised an eyebrow at his name. "Braids," she echoed. What kind of a nickname (she hoped it wasn't his actual name) was Braids? Not like Sinclair especially cared or anything near the sort, but she couldn't help but wonder who gave him the painfully obvious nickname. Was it himself? Or someone else? Slightly curious, the brunette wondered what kind of nickname she would recieve. If it is something that obvious ... I suppose I would be called 'Knives,' she thought.

The woman rolled her eyes. Why was she even thinkg about that kind of trivial thing? "I'm ready whenever you are," she commented. She observed the field as Braids sent out his Meowth. Sinclair cracked a small, dry smile as he asked her for the rules of the battle. Gesturing curtly at his Meowth, she said, "It looks like you've decided for me." Sin paused, shrugging nonchalantly. "A one-on-one is fine." Kneeling down, she gently stroked the little green Budew. "Your turn, Rosa," she said soothingly, pointing at the Meowth.

"I'm going to take the first move," she called, glancing at Braids. A bit quieter, she added, "Growth and Razor Leaf." Rosa stared at her trainer for a second, then giggled. Opening the bud at the top of her head, the Budew seemed to swell in size slightly. Sinclair hastily backed up -- she didn't want to be on the receiving end of the attack again -- and watched in satisfaction as the grass pokemon sent a flurry of leaves into the air. The leaves floated for a moment, then all at once rocketed through the air at the Meowth, making slicing noises as they tore through the air. Careful not to repeat her mistakes once again, she said, "Watch out for any stray leaves, Braids." It seemed that Rosa's aim was getting infinitely better, but Sinclair didn't want to take any chances -- the leaves could be dangerous.

She had the scars on her arms to prove it.

SUMMARY rosa uses growth and razor leaf.
NOTES battle. I decided to get things moving from the get-go, if you don't mind.

He planted a smug smirk on his maw, rising onto sturdy two paws as he bared his claws, tail lashing behind him as he prepared for the creature to attack. He was confident that he'd come out on top...it was a budew after all, and Lucien wasn't scared of anything. Like master like pokemon, Braids was content to simply watch and allow his pokemon to judge which attacks were best suited to his own desire, but he couldn't. This wasn't just some random battle, this was against another trainer...a person with a brain who could more or less direct their pokemon. He nodded briefly towards her words and the Budew began his assault. The aura of the grass pokemon seemed to glow, and for a moment, he could have sworn he saw the Budew grow a bit larger, but perhaps that was just his imagination. Lucien tensed, eyes narrowing cautiously towards the attack as he awaited instruction from his trainer. Her first actual attack came in the form of a shower of leaves, twisting as they shot towards him in his general direction. He was caught in the crossfire feline bent, forward and back, to try and evade the flurry of dangerous foliage. A couple caught him on his side, and the Meowth winced, but Braids' command rang clear from his mouth and the cat recovered. "Meowth, charm that Budew with an Attract attack! Then use Iron Tail!" The feline rose to his paws, straightening his back and fluttered his eyelashes with a smooth MeeeoOOwth... gazing deeply into the Budew's eyes.<Oh, what a lovely smell you have...It's rather lovely. And your petals! Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?> He smiled, hips tilting cutely as he purred, the medallion on his forehead glittering coyly. He padded forward, careful not to upset the creature, then leaped into the air at his master's command. His tail glowed with a bright light and with a cunning flip, aimed the attack towards the Budew. BABY, YOU'LL BE FAMOUS, CHASE YOU DOWN UNTIL YOU LOVE ME, PAPARAZZI THAT BOY IS MINE words

Meowth used Attract and Iron Tail

Male

[ARIBEAR!]

The Budew sent another wave of the razor-sharp leaves at the Meowth, frantically trying to prevent the cat from approaching any closer. The Meowth's voice, however, capitvated the little grass pokemon. "Bud ... Budew!" she cheered happily. Rosa didn't understand a single word the Meowth was crooning at her, but the pokemon's voice made Rosa giggle.

So that pokemon was a nice pokemon!

Sinclair, knowing full well how easily Rosa was swayed, sighed in irritation. Sometimes she wondered if carring the baby around was worth her time at all. "Rosa!" she snapped harshly, knowing that the Iron Tail attack was going to appear very soon (why did trainers yell out their attacks like that? It made them so easy to anticipate). Sinclair had to think of something, quick -- Rosa wouldn't dodge the Meowth if she told her to, since the Attract had already taken its toll. There was only one thing, then. "Rosa, come here!" Sin called out, gesturing for the pokemon to come to her, eyeing the approaching Meowth with growing concern.

Rosa didn't notice the Meowth behind her, and instead spun around at her mother's trainer's voice. The Budew began to waddle happily to her trainer's open arms, pausing for a moment to glance back -- what about the kind Meowth? "Rosa, no!" The shining tail made Rosa shriek, and the Budew stumbled and tripped. Falling onto her face, Rosa began to roll around on her round body, frantically trying to get up. "BUDEEW!" she wailed, feeling the impact of the Meowth's tail on the ground beside her.

The brunette could have smashed her forehead against a wall. That Iron Tail was a near miss, but now Rosa was on her back ... and an open target.

SUMMARY rosa uses razor leaf, then is infatuated. she falls over and iron tail misses, but now she's a sitting duck. go figure.

Braids watched the battle with growing interest as the Attract attack made the adorable grass type swoon over the ivory feline. It was rather amusing really, that glint in the Meowth's eyes, almost predatory, yet wry and playful and especially pleasing. If the battle continued like this, his victory would be in the bag. Lucien's tail collided with hard ground, sending debris flying in all directions. The feline's mouth straightened in a taunt scowl, annoyed that the Budew had managed to evade the attack, but he didn't remain in a horrible stupor for long. As he landed upon his four paws, he noticed that his opponent had toppled off balance and failed to regain her composure as fast as he. Well, he was a cat...and she was a bud. His next command was more discrete, but Lucien already knew what to do. He began with a Growl, hackles lifting into firm spikes as he circled her once more to affirm his next move - and with it came parted jaws before clamping down on what he assumed was flesh, soft herbal flesh.

[ARIBEAR!]

Rosa, occupied with her own situation -- rolling around on the ground and trying to get up -- couldn't hear anything but her own wailing. "Deew ..." the grass pokemon sobbed, rocking back and forth on her round body.

Sinclair glancing at the Meowth, wanted to swear. "Rosa! Get up!" she called out in vain. It was too late. An ear-piercing scream echoed through the arena as the cat pokemon bit down into Rosa's soft body. The Budew began to fail wildly, extricating herself from the feline's mouth.

Now that she was out of that accursed Bite, Rosa was able to (somehow?!) get herself off of her back. The Budew was certainly in pain, and breathing heavily, but she was made of tougher stuff. "Rosa, use Razor Leaf!" Sinclair commanded. Rosa shook her head, glancing at the Meowth. Sure, the cat had bitten her, but that didn't make it a bad pokemon!

After all, a bad pokemon couldn't have had such a nice voice.

The brunette raised an eyebrow at her pokemon's hesitant attitude. "Damn it!"

SUMMARY ouch. bite. Rosa does pretty much nothing but get bitten and back away.

The scream hit his ears in a bittersweet sympony. Truth was, he didn't enjoy that sound one bite...the scream of a helpless baby pokemon that had no idea how to battle yet. Hs eas drew back against his skull and mewed mockingly towards his own sentimental feelings, but currently backed down, allowing the creature to escape its hold and return once more to both legs. As it steadied itself and turned questioningly towards her trainer, Lucien echoed the expression towards his own, a brow raised as his tail wagged behind him, unsure of how to handle the situation. It was...wrong to be so vicious, wasn't it? But if Braids thought it was natural... He swiped his tongue across his whiskers thoughtfully, turning back into the battle as he briefly caught his master's stare upon him. He couldn't mess this one up, and never to quell unnecessary emotions."Lucien, finish it. Make it into your pincushion." The powerful voice commanded, and Lucien, the feline puppet always willing to please his master rose to the challenge, bouncing off a fierce growl from his maw before he began. Unsheathing his long claws, he rushed forward, feinting to the side before tackling the Budew head on with a Scratch attack aimed for her tender stomach.

"Rosa, attack!" Sinclair urged, gesturing at the Meowth. The Budew still vigorously shook her head, staggering around. The brunette sighed at her stubborn pokemon. Why did Rosa have to make things so difficult? She worriedly looked on as her Budew attempted to place as much distance from herself and the Meowth as possible -- although the Bite had been painful, Rosa was still relatively okay.

Relatively.

The trainer had a feeling that it would only be one or two more attacks and Rosa would be out for the count if the Budew insisted on not attacking. Sinclair's eyes flicked toward the feline pokemon, and she hissed, "Rosa! Move!" Turning around too late, the Budew turned to see the normal-type pokemon move to her side ... then leap for her! Rosa, unsure as to what do to, attempted to defend herself and turned her back on the cat. The pokemon wailed in pain once again as the cat's claws raked across Rosa's back.

Now very weak, the Budew scrambled away from the painful claws of the Meowth, sniffling. "BUDEEEW!" the pokemon sobbed, dragging her limp body as far as she could.

This fight was getting to be very entertaining, and Lucien was proving himself to be an expert battler, especially since he learned how to draw in the ladies before attacking. Shame it didn't work on male pokemon, but he supposed that was better than nothing. He tucked a strand of hair behind his ear, eying the two pokemon as the Budew's wail pitched across the arena. Unlike Lucien, it proved to be ineffective in making the man wince in sympathy. It should have known better not to throw itself against his feline companion, and her trainer, who forced a baby pokemon to fight in the first place. Meowth padded back, giving himself some space as he studied the fleeing grass type as she dragged herself weakly back towards her trainer. He blinked, sniffing the air as his ears swerved in her direction. The Budew was almost done battling, he could feel it as he rendered her grassy flesh from her backside, and her wail indicated that she was in a lot of pain. In a way, he felt bad...but this was the only way to get stronger. Braids continued to direct his pokemon, and Meowth instantly responded via a quick Growl and an Iron Tail. The feline pokemon swung his tail like a loaded slingshot before launching himself towards the grass type, hoping to make this a quick KO.
