The First Gym

[carneiro100]

I entered the gym with my hopes high, but with also very nervous. I had my six pokemon with me fully healed. I had trained them hardly wanting to win this battle on my first try. Yet I knew that before I was going to get a chance to fight the gym battle there was one person in my way. A gym minion. Come out, come out wherever you are Gym Minion. I have come to face you so I can face the gym leader. I'm ready whenever you are.

[Ninja]

The instant you walked into the Gym, a wave of perfume intensified with the sweet aroma of grass-type pokemon blasted you, catching you off guard for a moment! Then again, what would you expect? The Gym leader was a girl. So, while waiting for the Gym trainer to pop out and challenge you, you decide to look around a bit. There are grass-types everywhere- some are battle training, others are learning to dance, and some are just lounging around in this girly-scented place. And then a voice burst out at you-

"HA! You think you're good enough to face Lily? HA HA! First you're gonna have to get through me!"

A girl, not much older than you (but quite a bit more arrogant) burst from the various foliage, clutching a pokeball.

"Front and center, Oddish! Make me proud!" she cried, heaving the red-and-silver capsule to release the 'odd' weed-like pokemon.

[carneiro100]

Thats the plan, get through you so I can face Lily. Now I think I shall rely on speed to win this battle. Aipom your up make me proud. Quickly twirl around while picking up sand by using Sand Attack. Then throw all of it at Oddish. While she is distracted with the sand in her face use a Scratch Attack.

[Ninja]

"Not a chance! Oddish, use Sweet Scent, then hit 'em hard with Absorb!"

Aipom started off fast, spinning upon the ground with his tail hand outstretched to pick up a bunch of dirt and dust. In one swift move, he flung it at Oddish! She shook her head, blinking furiously, but was taught to ignore such discomforts and fanned out her leaves. From them came a wonderous, soothing scent! Aipom instantly dropped his guard, inhaling it with a dreamy look spread across his face. The weed Pokemon took this perfect opportunity to send a flurry of green orbs at him, which sapped his health instantly and transported it to herself! Luckily for you she was already in perfect condition and didn't gain any. However, this snapped the purple monkey right out of his daydream and he rushed forward, swiping across her with his third arm! Now the two are roughly equal, and still rearing to go.

Aipom: Below Normal, -1 Evasiveness
Oddish: Below Norma, -1 Accuracy

[carneiro100]

Looks like lowering her accuracy won't help much, but its the best second attack we have. Aipom I want you to use your speed advantage to run up and get into range for two attacks. First I want you to Scratch with one of your hands then I want you to use your thrid arm to throw more sand in its face. Try to use that as a way to attack and then to run away from there attacks.

"Oddish, defensive measure Ground!"
You aipom nods running towards the oddish to see it had dug itself into the ground so that only the thick leaves showed, and quickly at that. It must have trained a lot to get that fast. Confused he stopped, looking at you questionaly.
"Now!"
With out warning the leaves shook and it used absorb on where it last heard the aipoms steps. Unfortunatly for you, that happened to be where your confused aipom was. It left the aipom with a bit less health and the oddish with a bit more health. Better think of somethign to get it out of there....

[carneiro100]

Oh so you think you are going to avoid my attacks like that. I was not planning on switching so early but since the need arrived. Aipom come here to my side. Gible your up. Start up with a good Twister, aim it at the ground where Oddish is. That should do damage and get it out of that hole. Then I want you to use a Sand Tomb to trap it.

[Arushai]

Aipom darts back over to you. Gible hops up and down as soon as he's on the field, ready to go! He spins twice and launches a tornado at the Oddish, who is sucked out of the ground by the swirling wind and smashed back down against the ground! There isn't enough time for Gible to use his Sand Tomb, though, as green orbs are sucked out of him and to Oddish, healing it a bit.

[carneiro100]

Good job Gible, now Oddish is out of the ground and vulnerable to attacks. Gible give them another Twister make it so that it turns more then normal, so that when Oddish is in there it will make him dizzy. As Oddish is in the Twister, take the time to hide from his, so that when he comes out he will not your location.

[Arushai]

Gible obediently spins, giving the Twister a bit of extra twist. The attack spins Oddish, while Gible scampers behind a conveniently-placed rock. Since it's unable to see him, Oddish just releases a sweet smell, so that if it sees Gible, it'll be easy to hit him.

[carneiro100]

Good job Gible, the chances of them missing an attack is lower now, so we might need to create a diversion to be able to get them from behind. Use Twister and make sure to let the rock get inside the Twister then send it Oddish's way. He will either hit by both, or in the unfortunate event that the rock flies out of the Twister Oddish should not be able to dodge both so either way he will be hurt. Next turn we work on setting up a trap.

[Arushai]

Gible definitely wasn't expecting that, but he prepares to attack anyways. The little dragon spins, then sends a whirlwind out that lifts the rock. It heads for Oddish, but the Twister fizzles out before it can hit Oddish. However, just as Oddish is about to attack, the rock falls on it, pinning it down by its leaves! The Grass-type can't seem to escape...

[carneiro100]

That was better then expected Gible. Now lets use a Sand Tomb, to sink Oddish down into a hole, lets hope the rock goes down with Oddish to keep it trapped, either way now Oddish will take a little damage each turn.

[Arushai]

Your clever little Gible decides to improvise, using Sand Tomb just under the rock. The rock sinks, pulling Oddish down so only the feet of the Grass-type are visible. Poor Oddish is losing health fast, and if it can't get out quickly, it'll be down in no time...

[carneiro100]

Wow that was an excellent job Gible, very smart thinking on your part. This turn just hold on out don't do anything unless Oddish manages to get out from under the rock. If he does then I want you to send a Twister his way, but that only if he manages o get out from under the rock.
