For one, the structure of the dome sufficed to amaze the young teen, who had chosen a striped green and white long sleeved polo for the day. The air conditioning of the battle arena was a great contrast to the sweltering summer heat outside. Lafeyette's hazel eyes turned to young little Adele, who seemed to welcome the cooling surroundings. It wasn't enough for her to change her form to a more suitable one, but given how hot the summer had gotten, Adele seemed to prefer these cool confines rather than the heat that was killing them outside. He had scurried to the counter, eagerly filling in the form as he pleased before he was given a room to wait. The room appeared rather grand, grander than he had expected. However, the layout seemed basic, considering Lafayette's relatively simpleton mind. A wide expanse of summer meadows stretched across the space, and Lafayette smiled, letting Adele wander at her own pace. The Deerling would inspect the fine shrubbery growing here and there, as well as dainty pink flowers, which she would stop to sniff and then sneeze from the pollen. Was this even an arena? Lafayette had to assume it was, and with that, someone would enter from the other side, and till that time came, he would have to wait. The boy found a seat on a flat looking rock and then drummed his fingers lazily on his thigh, anticipating his challenger. --- ღ one versus one match ღ above stated, wordcapped at 500 words. ღ no items for this battle, please! :> ღ open to anyone ღ you will be battling adele the deerling please go easy on the dear little thing.

Emmett Tiberius Bourne

Emmett walked into the arena, after his show earlier today, he wanted another chance for a real battle. His feet were aching from all this walking and as he looked down to his side, he was pleased to see he had a /real/ battle partner this time around! He huffed thinking of the 'game' with his foolish Growlithe, Kourier, earlier. He yearned to use her, for her to be strong and worth the money he had spent on her already, but it did not seem to be that way so far. Sighing, he again filled out the necessary paperwork before entering the arena and looking over his opponent, another male. Well, this was great! He rolled his eyes.

He would admit, if anything, the air conditioning felt nice. Standing in some holy, worn out jeans, he removed his sun glasses, hanging them from his stained grey wife-beater and looking over what his pokemon would be facing. A Deerling. He would never admit it, but he did want one of those for himself, someday. Tossing out a pokeball, his Blitzle was revealed. The zebra like pokemon pranced about before looking toward the Deerling and making what appeared to be some version of a 'kissy' face before winking at her. Oh, how this Blitzle loved the ladies, and well, this Deerling was probably the most attractive one he had ever seen! She even had hooves like him! <Bliiitzlee> He cooed at her with something Emmett did not understand and only rolled his eyes to.

"Focus!" Emmett snapped at the pokemon, who immediately stood straight. "You ready dude? Let's do this! Spoq, use Tail Whip and Quick Attack!" Emmett did not waste any time and the pokemon nodded, first wagging his tail cutely before almost disappearing as he went in for an attack. The pokemon was still quite weak, and while easily distracted, did enjoy battling. It shook itself out, trying to dance back away from the Deerling after attempting his attack. Again, he made a 'cute' face at her, wondering if she found him equally attractive. And for once, Emmett could not ruin things by hitting on her trainer! He almost danced at this idea.

His mind had zoned in on the door, and his brown eyes watched the sliding doors at the other end to reveal another male. Well, he seemed like a pretty nice guy, really. It wasn't as though Lafayette could tell people apart from good and bad though. Grinning, he then waved rather enthusiastically, as though trying to make friends already, disregarding the fact that they were supposed to be battling. He was grinning all the while as he shouted, "Hey there! The name's Lafayette! Lafayette Elliot Thomas! Pleased to meet'cha!" He beamed, before gesturing to the Deerling, "This is Adele! Say hi, Adele!" He patted his Deerling, who nervously stumbled forward, trying to even manage a mere greeting. She was greeted by the sight of a strange black and white creature. Oh, a Blitzle? She had seen those before. They were intriguing creatures, really. She had seen a couple from the lab before, and this was really no exception. However, this one seemed a little... strange, if anything. She seemed a little taken aback as her opponent strutted his stuff and made kissy faces and crooned at her. Unsure how to react, Adele nervously let out a short call and then replied stiffly, ( U-Um, hello... ) The Blitzle seemed sweet, beyond his obnoxious and pretentious behaviour, Adele supposed he could be quite the gentlemen. As his master called, she snapped out of her slight daze, only to turn her head to look at Lafayette, the Tail Whip going by mostly unnoticed. Lafayette rubbed his hands together gleefully and then spoke, "Righty then! Ah- Look out, Adele!" The Pokemon spun around, only to be greeted by the sight of the Blitzle dashing straight at her, speedy and quick as lightning. The creature rammed into the Deerling, sending her sprawling. Lafayette caught her, making sure she hadn't fallen to the floor before he allowed her to stand by herself, "C'mon, it's battle time Adele! Let's try a... Tackle, then." He beamed, allowing Adele to move at her own pace. She trotted carefully, before she began to lumber forward rather clumsily, a little unsure on her feet. Adele picked up speed, galloping like a Ponyta to Spoq as she tried to ram herself at the Blitzle again. All for battle sake, of course.

Emmett Tiberius Bourne

Emmett rolled his eyes as the boy across the stadium made a complete fool of himself. Bouncing around, he waved ecstatically. "Urm, yeah, hey," Emmett replied rather unenthusiastically, dull eyes looking the fellow trainer over. He had quite the headache right now, probably from being out at the bar again last night. Although, he had showered for once, which took away the putrid smell and left him smelling more so of soap. Which then smelt like sweet pea, although he would never admit he used such a girly soap. No, he was a man and thus, he used man soap! That was certain. He only smelt like a girl because... he had been with a girl recently... yup that was a good story. Nodding toward the Deerling, he was not very interested in making friends with someone who was not a girl. Although, the man looked like he might make friends with girls a bit easier than Emmett... which could be useful.

"I am Emmett Bourne. The best damn trainer and most awesome man you will ever meet. And this is my Blitzle, Spoq. But I believe he has already somewhat introduced himself," Emmett figured that he should respond at least a bit to this man. Not leave him wondering who he was out battling or whatever. Emmett's stance was arrogant and cocky, but when was it not? Not that he despised this boy at all. No, that was not the case. In fact, he would not making friends. Just not during a battle. Although, this dude seemed a lot more naive and kind than Emmett was. Doubtful that he was ever involved in any sort of 'bad' thing. Emmett chuckled. Maybe he should make friends with this fool, work on that. Not to mention, nice guys often reeled in the girls for the better ones to snatch up... He pondered this, only to realize the battle was still going.

Blitzle was sad to see he had sent the pokemon flying so far back. He really had not meant to hurt her too badly or anything of that sort! However, she soon began running back toward him, to which he gleefully pranced about. Oh! She was coming back to him! His tail gave a happy wiggle and he looked her over, doing the best he could to give her an odd ball smile. { I'm Spoq! } He beamed as she approached him, only to realize that she had not returned to socialize. No, he had missed his chance for that. Instead, he tackled him! Sending him sprawling onto his side, he quickly leaped back up to his feet and looked her over with a tilt of his head. Maybe she did not like him after all. He lowered his head only to hear Emm's voice boom out again. "Spoq, double kick," Spoq nodded and gulped before prancing toward the female only to quickly turn and basically buck his back end up, hoping to nail her with his hooves, not once, but twice.

He could talk to her after the battle anyway... right? { Sorry, Darling, but I must obey my trainer. Let's talk after this } He had managed to wink at her, spinning back around to see how she countered.

Spoq used Double Kick

OoC|| Sorry, I went a little over 500 D: Hah Spoq said Darling instead of Deerling. XD

[atrb=width,458,true][atrb=border,0,true] LAFAYETTE LAFAYETTE LAFAYETTE TAGS tsavo WORD 319 MUSE meh NOTE ooc CODE papaya, edited by hata The unenthusiastic reply left Lafayette hanging, to which he seemed a little disappointed. The man had seemed very nice, and his Blitzle seemed to look quite dashing too. Had he been sorely mistaken? Lafayette appeared rather hurt, though that quickly wore off as he chose to focus on the battle instead. They could socialise later, Lafayette reasoned. Maybe the man didn't like to talk and battle at the same time or something - Lafayette guessed it must feel awkward to be friendly with someone you were supposed to treat as an enemy. Or something like that, anyway. Lafayette flicked his hair, unable to wipe that grin off his face as he hummed, eyes returning to the battle. Adele had been watching the battle even as she rammed into the male, hoping she hadn't offended him or something. Besides, adrenaline was pumping through the Deerling even she was a tad shy, and she couldn't deny that ramming herself at the Blitzle in a friendly match seemed rather thrilling. Spurred by the adrenaline coursing through her blood, the Deerling seemed needy for more action. She turned to Lafayette, who was screaming for her to dodge the incoming attack. Moving swiftly, the Deerling managed to retreat as each kick swung at her, missing her just barely. She heaved, her breathing rapid and feeling more nervous than ever. Adele was vaguely reassured by the Blitzle - who was termed as Spoq (Adele decided it sounded cute on him) - who did not seem to mean to hurt her on purpose. She nodded, albeit rather hesitantly. Lafayette, seeing that Adele had gotten over the initial shock of her dodge, scratched his head. Adele didn't have much of a choice when it came to offensive attacks, so he guessed he would just have to roll with it, "Tackle again!" In similar fashion as before, Adele ran at the Blitzle, trying to ram herself at the opponent once again.

Emmett Tiberius Bourne

Emmett rolled his eyes at the other man. He could easily hear the low humming as he happily watched the battle. Ugh. He was almost like Kourier. The simple idea was dreadful. How annoying his little Growlithe was. He looked down at the pokeball that held her before lifting his head. He knew that he should not be thinking about anything besides the battle at this point, but it was a bit more difficult than he thought it should be. And as if he was not annoyed enough with thoughts that had nothing to do with the battle, he watched as the Deerling barely dodge Spoq's attack. Ugh, now his pokemon was just wasting energy kicking at nothing. Oh well.

By this point, Spoq had managed to retreat back a few feet, where he waited excitedly for whatever might come next. However, he again quickly found himself distracted by the looks of the little Deerling as it came charging toward him. His tail wagged and feet stomped excitedly, as he thought of all the fun him and this little female could have. Out prancing about together and what not. It would be fantastic! Plus she smelt so good, like flowers and freshness. Something he rarely ever smelt around Emmett. "Tail Whip then Quick Attack!" Emmett roared in resposne to the tackle that was now running toward his pokemon. Blitzle looked back and nodded in response before waggling his tail before the Deerling and then quickly taking off toward it. He knew that this might be a bad idea, as they would have to simultaneously hit one another, but perhaps it was a better idea that just sitting around and waiting to be hit then striking back. Emmett was not really sure. It was more of an experiment than anything.

With the force of the tackle and hitting the other pokemon, Blitlze was shoved backward. Trying hard to shake himself free of the throbbing pain throughout the side of his body - as he had attempted to use his bony shoulder for the attack. He looked back at Emmett with wide eyes, wondering if /that/ was what he wanted. Not only did he hurt from the tackle attack, but he was sure that his own Quick Attack was what had caused some of the pain he was now feeling as well. At least he had /hopefully/ lowered her defense a bit before hitting, right? He whined and stamped his foot, obviously displeased with the pain he was now feeling.

Spoq used Tail Whip and Quick Attack
