Who's up for a pokemon battle?

[needsmoregreen]

Who: Bianca and Cheren
When: Afternoon
Where: The Plaza
Status: Closed
Style: Which ever goes?

After being stuck in Vatheon for 4 months, Bianca realized that her pokemon might be out of shape. Hoping for the best, she wanted to ask Hilda since she hasn't heard from her in a while. When she did so, she realized that both Hilda and Hilbert were gone. At first, she thought it would be better that they were sent home. Ever since she witnessed two 'deaths', she didn't want her friends to share the same fate. Still, a part of her was being selfish. She wanted them to stay so she wouldn't be alone. As she looked around, she noticed that Cheren was still here. She wanted to tell him that both went back home but figured that she'll tell him when they have their pokemon battle.

With that, she turned on the communicator. "Cheren? Are you there~?" She said in the happiest tone she can manage.

Just as Cheren predicted, Bianca was an hour late. She was planning on walking around Vatheon a bit before meeting up with him and didn't realize she was that late. It was a good thing that she didn't trip once while she was running here!

"Ah, I'm late again aren't I? Oops..."

[typeadvantage]

As Bianca approached, Cheren closed his book and placed it back in his bag. There would be no need for that while they were battling or training, after all. Getting to his feet, he doesn't bother walking over to where Bianca was coming from (unlike some of his Pokemon; Espeon and Luxio were far too interested in meeting people than they were in waiting around), since he knew she'd make her way over toward him and the training area in no time.

"Honestly, Bianca, you really ought to invest in a watch with some sort of alarm function. Or you could even set your SFC to have an alarm go off every so often, I'm sure!"

Bianca had a feeling she would be getting a lecture. It just wouldn't be Cheren if he didn't! "I'm sorry, I didn't know that I would be this late! I promise that it won't happen again!" Maybe. She knew that she can be a little bit forgetful at times. She was mumbling at this point and she honestly felt a bad. No one really made a comment about how late she was whenever she met them outside of Cheren, looks like she needed to learn how to be on time.

"Mhmm, definitely! I'll promise to be on time when we meet again!" With that, she got out one of her pokeballs. "Are you ready? Because I sure am!"

[typeadvantage]

He just sighs in response again, because he knows Bianca. He knows how this will go--he'll say try better next time, and she'll agree, and he'll forgive her, and then it will repeat again. But there was no point in breaking that habit, especially when he really wasn't all that bothered by her being late. He only lectured her so that she'd improve for her own sake.

"Don't worry about it, Bianca. Just try harder next time. If you're planning on training with me in the mornings, I can send Unfezant to wake you up beforehand, if you'd like." Maybe a Pokemon would be able to get Bianca to be punctual. Unlikely, perhaps, but worth a try.

But when she pulled a Pokeball out of her bag, all other thoughts were put to the back of his mind, since, well, battling was what they were here for, right? Being distracted never worked out well in battle.

"Of course I'm ready. Let's go, Liepard!"

[needsmoregreen]

"Haha, you can! Maybe I can try to wake up earlier if you send Unfezant out!" Although she doesn't know what would happen if he did. Most of her pokemon seem to be okay with the fact that she usually wakes up pretty late in the morning and they never complicated. However, she was still a trainer, she had to keep training them. She didn't realize she gotten that lazy until now...

"All right, Emboar go! Use flare blitz!" Let's see how much training she needs with this battle.

[typeadvantage]

Cheren's Pokemon are quite the opposite from Bianca's. While a lazy day every so often are okay with them, they prefer to be up early in the morning, ready to train and do whatever else Cheren does. Read books? Who knows. So it probably will cause quite a scene when Unfezant goes to wake Bianca up, but well, Cheren will apologize for any damage caused. And then lecture Bianca. But that's beside the point.

"Liepard, dodge and hit it with a Night Slash attack!" Liepard does as instructed, but he doesn't get away completely unscathed. Grazed by Emboar's Flare Blitz, Liepard's Night Slash likely isn't as strong as it would be had he not been hit.

Wow, sorry for the late tag!

[needsmoregreen]

As Emboar was hit with a Night Slash, Bianca quickly looked back at her pokemon before she charged forward.

"Hey are you okay?" While he wasn't able to dodging the attack, she wasn't going to force him to continue fighting it was that bad. "Okay then, charge it again with another Fire Blitz! Be careful though! Try to dodge whenever you can!" She said before she started to take a good look at Liepard just in case if anyone should happen.

It's fine!

[typeadvantage]

That time the Flare Blitz hit Liepard straight on, much to both Cheren and Liepard's dismay. Liepard did manage to hang on, but barely. If you were playing the game, its health bar would be at red, and it would be beeping obnoxiously. Unlike how things were back home, Cheren didn't have potions on hand to deal with this. So, rather than switch immediately (since who knows how much help Liepard would be later on while injured), he leaves the purple cat out for one last round.

"Liepard, hang in there! Shadow Claw, before he can counter it!"

[needsmoregreen]

After seeing Liepard getting hit that badly, Bianca was a little nervous but, unlike the last pokemon battle, she trusted Cheren. She knew that he wouldn't push his pokemon to the extreme. With that, she gave the same command as before.

"Hurry, dodge it before he attacks you!"
