First Battle
It was later when you first came across a Trainer. You'd stopped for a quick lunch break in the shade of a tree, and had only just shoveled a few berries into your mouth when you heard something. Thankfully, your transformation had gifted you with knowledge of how to use your moves, otherwise you'd already be doomed. You closed your eyes and activated Aura Sight, spotting the trainer with a Charmelion by his side in the bushes across the road.
Crap, a fire type. This Trainer knows what he's doing... You knew this meant the trainer either planned to use you for experience, or his Pokemon was weak enough, he could use it to catch you. You stood up, Aura Sight still active, ready to move at a moment's notice, but then you caught sight of two more Trainers, each with a Wartortle and Ivysaur respectively. You were caught in a Trainer triangle. Not a favorable position...
Suddenly attacks came in from all sides, Ember, Razor Leaf, and Water Gun coming to raze you. You were ready for this and jumped high into the air, landing by the trainer with the Wartortle.
"Jace! Behind you!" The trainer with Charmelion shouted, stepping out of cover with his Pokemon. Jace and Wartortle turned around, only to receive a Force Palm to the gut, paralyzing the poor guy.
"Aqua, NO!" the trainer, the Charmelion, and the Bulbasaur shouted simultaneously in horror. With Aqua the Wartorle temporarily incapacitated, you took another leap, this time at Ivysaur. Instead of using a Fighting type move, knowing they wouldn't be very effective, you settled for throwing several swift punches at his face.
"Coal, protect Ivy with a strong Ember attack!" the Charmelion's Trainer called out. You turned, eyes widened when you saw the flames approaching. They hit you hard, and it hurt like hell! You quickly formed an aura sphere, aiming to throw it straight through the fire, but then a vine wrapped around your paw. You looked to find Ivy's smug face with a vine holding you down. Getting an idea, you dropped the aura sphere on the ground, where it blew lot's of dirt into the air. It made Ivy drop his guard and let go of your wrist, but you grabbed the vine and pulled. Ivy suddenly found himself being used as a shield against Coals Ember attack, but only the trainers saw what was going on.
"Coal! Stop the attack!" the trainer commanded. Coal finally saw what happened and cut off his attack in haste, allowing you to approach much more quickly. You modified your grip on Ivy's vines so you could use him as a flail, and swung him at Coal, throwing both Pokemon into Coal's Trainer. A short burst of water near your head notified you of Aqua's status being recovered, so you threw a few Aura Sphere's behind you. A despaired call of Aqua's name signaled your victory. You gave your opponents a smile.
"That was a good fight. You guys did pretty good, though you could have worked better as a team." You said. The trainers seemed a bit sad about their defeat, but their spirits rose when you didn't immediately run off. Each trainer tended to their Pokemon, Jace bringing Aqua to meet up with the others. You knelt down to the three Pokemon, offering Oran Berries to each.
"Here. No hard feelings, right?" you asked.
"Sure." Coal said with a smile, taking the berry.
"You're forgiven!" Ivy said excitedly while taking another berry.
"That was a cheap trick, you know. Paralyzing me like that?" Aqua said, crossing her arms. Jace shook his head, obviously fed up with this attitude.
"You know, if you keep acting like that, Aqua, you're never going to make any friends." Jace said. Aqua sighed.
"Fine, but I want a rematch later. And none of that paralyzing crap!" she demanded angrily before taking a berry. You had one of your own too. As the four of you recovered from the intense battle, you wondered what to do next.
