Oh god what is this I don't even
Quinn sat on a bench listening to his music player, trying to relax before his match. This was his second time in the League Stadium, his first being in the Grand Melee he entered with Robert the Gligar. Though they were a strong contender, they didn't have the luck of some of the other players and were knocked out by a random critical Solarbeam.

Thankfully, it wasn't as if he was banned from competing in any contest again. The Battle Theme this time around was a "Little Cup." Un-evolved and young pokemon relying on their trainers skill to defeat their opponents. Thankfully, or maybe disappointingly, Quinn had a selection of pokemon that fit that category.

Those pokemon he had picked hovered around him. He was allowed three, but could only pick two for the double battle set-up. The first was Nikolia the Cyndaquil, wearing his hat and looking pensive like Quinn. Emmeline the Misdreavus was the only one literally hovering about, keeping tabs on things. The last, and newest member to Quinn's team was a currently rolling around, unnamed Spheal. Between the three of them, he had a wide range of types he could match and cover or at least prevent being type matched himself.

"Mr. Rhodes, you opponent is ready whenever you are."
"Uh, alright, thank you." 'Mr. Rhodes' wasn't something he was used to being called. Quinn folded up his headphones and put them in his backpack. "Okay you three, remember those combos we practiced. Work with whoever you're sent out with. We're smart and tough, this should be no problem." Smiling, he watched the three pokemon nod in agreement.

Then with one swift motion Quinn recalled his partners and walked to the door, humming.
I do the best that I can... I'm just what I am

The light was nearly blinding when Quinn stepped out into the arena. He had luckily been here before, this time the stands were packed with fans eager to see their favourite Pro trainers in action.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" came the voice of the announcer booming from the speakers, "Our next challenger is one you might just recognize. A contender in the first Grand Melee, allow me to introduce Quinn Rhodes!" There was some applause, as some remembered him and others simply desired to be polite. The real cheering broke out at the next words.

"His opponent is a famous spitfire from a line of trainers. Scourge of Corona Island, Redhurst's Pirate Queen, master of fire and water, I give you Carmen Strong!"

The woman who took the opposite place to Quinn was sufficiently intimidating. Topping out at six foor five, the exact details of her musculature were obscured by her jeans, loose T-shirt, and leather jacket, but she was clearly built like a tank. A choker with a Gyarados scale pattern sat around her neck, with matching bracers on her wrists. Her dark red hair was unruly, and she clicked a tongue piercing against her teeth as she watched her opponent for moment. She then flashed Quinn the biggest, toothiest grin he had likely ever seen, probably made untintentially crazed-looking by her bright green eyes, and pulled out a pair of pokeballs.

"Toxin, Scythe, let's get going!"

A Bulbasaur and Kabuto took the field. The grass type lowered her head and growled, eyes narrowing. The fossil quickly scurried behind her, peering out timidly at the screaming crowd. Carmen just looked all the more happy by her pokemon's warm welcome by the audience. "Bred 'em myself!" she called out to the fans.

"The challenger may select his pokemon for the match," boomed the announcer, "And he may also call the first commands."

Wait I thought she was the Fire and Water master? Why does she have a Bulbasaur?

Quinn's thoughts ran faster than his battle plan. Any ideas of tactics only surged to the front when his large opponent, taller than his not to shabby 6'2'' height, released her pokemon. A riled up Bulbasaur and a skittish Kabuto.

Quinn starting talking to himself, running ideas through his head. The Bulbasaur wasn't a threat, grass had far to many weaknesses and Quinn had the two major ones on his belt. The odd one was the Kabuto, physically tough and an odd type combination of Rock/Water. Still, this wasn't anything he couldn't handle.

"Nikolia! Spheal! Time to rock." Quinn tossed the two spheres into the air releasing the two pokemon. Nikolia flared, his hat pushed down to a menacing angle. The Spheal still had his pleasant smile on his face, but was ready to start moving. The way his tail was shifting and sliding, showing his readiness to push to where he needed to be.

He gave his orders to them at the same time, he planned to focus fire the Bulbasaur and then finish off the tougher Kabuto afterwords. "Ember and Aurora Beam on the Bulbasaur, then target and hit the Kabuto with Ember. Spheal, switch to Water Gun against the Kabuto. Remember to move if you have to to dodge."

The toothy grin never quite wiped itself off Carmen's face, though she had some semblance of and idea that your two tootsies were going to pose quite some trouble for her own Toxin. But she also knew that overconfidence would bubble into self-corroding poison. This Mr. Rhodes... did he think that simple type-matching would cut the edge for him?

'Nice 'lil Cyndaquil you have there. They're trying to end this fast, guys. We have to match them.'

And in a tempo faster that you might have foreseen, the Kabuto found unholy speed to zip past your Cyndaquil's confidence, quickly swiping it down with an Aqua Jet. Nikolia, who had been expecting a speed advantage to swipe Toxin off the arena, was instead pushed to the red as he barely endured the powerful attack with a flicker of flame left. It didn't quite extinguish Nikolia's desire to win this, as the Ember which followed the fire Pokemon's back scorched the Bulbasaur decently, leaving a significant scorch mark on the beast. It wasn't quite as magnificent as Scythe's assassin strike, though.

It didn't save the Cyndaquil from certain unconsciousness as a well-placed Tackle by Bulbasaur took care of that: both Carmen and Toxin wouldn't like loose ends to hinder their progress into the finals. Likewise, your Spheal made sure that Toxin paid the price for snuffing Nikolia out early in the game. So much for payback. The Kabuto that had pressed Carmen's advantage earlier didn't push on, as its Scratch barely scratched the surface of Spheal's thick defense. The retaliatory Water Gun seemed to shake Scythe a little harder than expected.

'Well, boy. You have a surprisingly tough fighter there.'

There was no denying it. Spheal might win the battle Nikolia had lost.

A sad smile. The plan worked, but at a price. "Well done Nikiola, you'll be healed up soon." While he had a thought about the chance of an Aqua Jet coming out of the Kabuto, he sacrificed a quick offense with a strong offense. Quick Attack wouldn't have left the Bulbasaur weak enough for Spheal to finish off, so he went with the Ember.

Quinn withdrew the fire mouse, letting the Spheal now take center stage on his side. "Okay Spheal, keep up the water guns, it's the best thing you can use on it. Remember, watch out for attacks, lessen or block if you can."

"Spheal!" Taking a deep breath it prepped another volley of water to hit the tough Kabuto.

"Did you know Spheal is also known as the CLAP POKEMON?" boomed the announcer. The jumbotron showed Carmen's hulking red figure before flicking back to her Kabuto. "I wonder which pokémon is known as the CHLAMYDIA POKEMON!" The crowd booed! Martha, the man's co-announcer, elbowed him sharply in the ribs.

"Back to the battle - " Martha cut in. " - it looks like Kabuto is using ABSORB!" The ancient shellfish was nearly twice as fast as the fat walrus baby. He jumped onto the Spheal's back, latching himself on with his pincers, and started absorbing Spheal's life points. "It's super effective!" Martha added, mandatorily. Scythe's absorb nearly equalized the two pokémon's hit points. Finally the fat Spheal shook off the horseshoe crab and shot at him with his little water guns, PEW PEW PEWING his opponent in the face.

"PEW PEW PEW!" the male announcer reenacted. Kabuto shuddered in recoil. For whatever reason, the shellfish was hurt by streams of water.

"COME ON, GET HIM AGAIN" Carmen Strong bellowed. She was flexing her giant arms and looked ready to run onto the field herself. Kabuto jumped up and sent another absorb flying Spheal's way, this time via rope-like tendrils that emerged from under its shell. They struck the Spheal even as another water gun blasted in the Kabuto's direction. It was like a little green and blue slap fight that no one seemed to be winning.

FINISH HIM!

What a terrible joke.

The water gun was working. Slowly. It wasn't clear if the battle was is either trainers favor though. "Spheal, keep up the water guns. We'll have this in the bag."

The Spheal nodded and bobbed along squirting two more times at the Kabuto. Hopefully this would be enough to finish it.

Carmen looked over at the battlefield, taking a closer look at the Spheal that was to be her opponent... .and all she did was give one of those toothy grins again. She was really freakin' vexing with those. It gave you the impression that she knew more than you did, and had somethign up her sleeve. As it was, it was a difficult situation, and the Kabuto was clearly out-powering the Spheal.

Yeah, screw it.

"Finish it, Scythe!" she shouted, and the Kabuto seemed to shake its shell-like body, as an approximation of acceptance. The Kabuto glowed lightly for a few moments with a bit of a green glow, before absorbing energy form the air and the creature before it - the traditional technique of Absorb was a favourite of many in this end of battling. Every bit of health mattered. Here, it was going to prove the decisive point in this fight. One torrential Water Gun blasted forth at the Kabuto in response, knocking it down and over... right until, with prodigous strength, it righted itself and launched another Absorb.

At this point, the Spheal had been wobbling on its legs from the first Absorb> The second one was enough to put it on its ass and not let it get up. Defeat.

"Winner! Carmen Strong!" shouted the announcer, and the crowd suddenly went wild for the pirate queen. She raised one fist in victory, before recalling her Kabuto back to its Poké Ball and looking over at the defeated Quinn. "Hmph," was all she offered, a triumphant smirk on her lips, before turning and walking from the stadium.

Well that was interesting.

FINISH HIM!

"Oh well. Maybe next time. Spheal, well done, return."

Quinn waved politely to the crowd and walked out of the stadium. His team had been caught off guard by an annoying type combination he'd have to work on getting around. But they battled well and it was a close fight regardless of the loss. Maybe next time he entered the stadium he'd have a little more luck on his side.
