[atrb=style,margin-top:-5px;,bTable] arceus it was hot. hot hot hot hot hot. piper frowned, one hand running through her hair. was it a bad choice to come here, then? she stood at the beginning of route 4, and she could already sense the change in humidity. her hair had flattened and everything felt gritty, like there was sand in the air too. the air was hazy and grainy, so that meant there probably was said in the air. if she took one more step, that meant walking into a sandstorm. in the middle of summer. perhaps this wasn't the best idea. she looked down, at her--it was hers now, thank you very much--gible, and almost changed her mind then. the pokemon was staring into the desert with wide eyes, just about ready to jump in and start rolling around in the sand. "alright fine!" piper said, and sascha looked up, blinking. "but if i die out here, you're dragging me back out." and with a huff, piper ducked her head and stomped into the desert, eyes closed against the sandstorm. absolutely confused, but understanding that she had won an argument of some sort, the gible let out a gleeful laugh, clapping her hands, before tromping after her trainer. it had been a while since she had been in a place like this. though she didn't mind forests and fields, this was much more where she felt at home. in the sandstorm, piper bravely opened one eye, then the other. it wasn't that bad, she thought, relaxing. she still knew she would take a shower as soon as she could, and probably twice, but the sand wasn't flying everywhere. she could at least bear to open her eyes. feeling much better about the whole ordeal, she shoved her hands into her pockets and started strolling along, humming. piper walked by someone who called out a warning--something about pokemon only in certain colored sad? what a weirdo--and decided to venture in near the construction site. there was sure to be lots of pokemon there, right? and if not, there would at least be some trainers around to fight. sascha toddled along after her, smiling in the face of the sandstorm and her tail wagging just the slightest bit.

For a few minutes Scraggy simply followed Piper, hiding behind the debris around the construction site. He was studying her and the Gible, trying to decide what the best angle for attack was. Finally choosing to just take them on head-to-head, he stepped in front of the two and gave a menacing Leer. He wanted to start this off with an advantage.

[cs=3] if i sang out of tune piper didn't even notice that they were being followed, though it didn't matter, as sascha didn't even notice either. the gible was much too wrapped up in her own happiness at just being in the desert, where she felt more at home, and piper was too busy flipping through her pokedex and trying to figure out what kinds of pokemon she might catch around here. surely some ground or rock types would find this place much like home. or even a steel type or two. maybe if she was lucky, she would find an onyx around here. all she wanted to do was find an onyx and be able to rid it around everywhere and basically look like a boss. others would prance around on their flamboyant rapidashes or stomp around on a stupid tauros, but what piper wanted to be able to do more than anything in the world was to have her own onyx--or steelix, as that would be even better--to ride around. and battles would come much easy, as all she would have to do is command her pokemon to squish whatever came their way. piper was all giggles when it came to these far fetched dreams, lost in her own little world. she almost didn't notice that a pokemon had appeared. sascha had, however, and stopped in her tracks, causing piper to almost trip over the pokemon. "sascha, what the fuck are you doing?" piper demanded, looking up to see the scraggy. oh. that's what she was doing. piper quickly dug around for her pokedex, though she thought she could recognize the pokemon. scraggy; the shedding pokemon. its skin has a rubbery elasticity, so it can reduce damage by defensively pulling its skin up to its neck. it evolves into scrafty. huh. weird. as the pokedex spouted more information in its mechanical voice, piper started staring at the pokemon, eyes critical as she tried to decide if it was a good enough pokemon to have on her team. she had decided long ago that she would only have kickass pokemon on her team. the type that could battle any pokemon and win and look cool while doing so. well, perhaps a battle would help decide. she already knew that sascha would win, but if the pokemon put up a good enough fight, perhaps it would be allowed to join her team. "alright sascha," piper commanded, "start off with a dragonbreath attack!" the gible had already taken the brunt of the leer attack, as she had been caught off guard, but was now ready for battle and rather excited about it. she opened her large jaws and let out a stream of what looked like white-blue flames, aiming straight for the scraggy.

Having been prepared for the retaliation, Scraggy simply charged right into the flames. With the loose skin pulled up, he was shielded somewhat from the attack, but it still caused damage. Before the Gible's dragonbreath was even finished, he initiated his own attack, sliding low and kicking his foot out, attempting to knock the dragon-type off balance with a hard kick.

[cs=3] if i sang out of tune both pokemon and trainer were rather surprised at the pokemon merely charging into the attack the way he did. piper, especially, was rather impressed. not many would charge right into an attack and she decided she liked the scraggy's headstrong attitude. well, she would just see how it would do in the battle. but too caught up in thinking about the scraggy, piper didn't think to call out a warning to sascha, and the low kick caught the gible by surprise. with her feet kicked out from underneath her, the pokemon fell forward with a thump into the sand. she let out a cry of pain, but scrabbled to stand up without hesitation. a kick was nothing when it came to battling. sascha could take on anything in the world, as long as she won. with an angry growl, she watched the scraggy with narrowed eyes, muscles bunched up and tensed as she awaited piper's next command. "alright, sascha," piper called out, "use sand attack and iron tail!" before the words even left her mouth, sascha was off, sprinting towards the scraggy as fast as her little legs could take her. as she neared the scraggy, she dropped to slide, sending a spray of sand at the opponent. hopefully it wouldn't miss and the grains of sand would blind the pokemon. as sascha lost momentum and neared the scraggy even more, her tail started to glow silver and she twisted her body around to try and slam her tail into the scraggy.

The sand was kicked up into the fighting-type's fast, despite his attempt to shield his eyes. Vision clouded, he decided to try to return the favor. He turned around and kicked his feet back, sending a cloud of dust and sand in the Gible's direction. He just hoped the attack hit it's target. Blinking to clear his eyes some, he was blindsided by the iron tail attack. As he was hit, he was nearly slammed into the ground, but the little pokemon with the show-off attitude did a somersault and landed back on his feet. This was certainly turning out to be a fun fight.

[cs=3] if i sang out of tune the gible let out a gleeful laugh when she saw the spray of sand cover the scraggy, but she hadn't been expecting the counter attack, and had to quickly close both eyes and her mouth to keep the sand from getting in them. she was a little slow and the inside of her mouth felt gritty from the sand, but she would at least continue her attack. as soon as she felt her tail slam into the side of the scraggy, sascha moved away for a moment and tried to rub the sand out of her eyes and wipe away the sand from her tongue. euch. piper let out a huff as she watched the battle. sascha had been short sighted to let herself get hit by the sand attack, but at least her iron tail had hit the scraggy. but the wild pokemon didn't even look like he was troubled or hurt at all. in fact ... he actually looked like he was having a good time. she saw the little show off somersault off the ground, and she couldn't help but crack a smile. perhaps she would catch the pokemon and snag it for her own. piper could already tell that he was a good fighter and knew that he would be a good addition to her team. though she would see how the rest of the battle fared. "quick sascha, use dragonbreath before he can counter!" sascha blinked, her vision blurry from the sand. she found that the yellow and red of the scraggy stood out against the sand, though she only saw him as a blur. she let out an angry "gar!" before she opened her mouth and let out a stream of what looked like white blue flames that crackled and licked the air. as she couldn't see and had no idea where her opponent was exactly, she tried to make it up with the sheer size of her attack, trying to spread it over the entire desert, it looked like.

Finished wiping the sand from his eyes just in time, the Scraggy was still unable to avoid the Gible's attack. The flames were taking up too much area, and he was easily caught within. Brushing off the attack as best he could, but still feeling it's effects, he ran towards the dragon-type. He stopped just in front of his opponent, puffing himself up to look bigger and Leering down at Sascha. Quickly shifting his weight, he then swept his foot out under the Gible. The small dragon's rough skin hurt slightly, but Scraggy gritted his teeth and took it. He was starting to feel worn out, but he was still reluctant to give up.
