...He was in too many places at once, lately.
He'd just gotten here, but his mind was already elsewhere: on a train from Ashdell, on a battle in the desert, on a boy one town over, on a distant world he didn't remember but was sure he once knew. Jin was frustrated, because there were six pokémon tucked quietly away in the spheres around his waist, and Mohsen the gyarados wasn't present. He was frustrated, because the Rules of this land told him six was the maximum safe number of pokémon to carry, and Jin had more than six friends, and for the first time in his life he was forced to put Mohsen the gyarados in a little red-and-white ball and send him away to digital storage. It was breaking Jin's heart, and so much of his mind was on the giant blue gyarados crammed, dormant, in a PC somewhere.
Jin was in the middle of a gymnasium and it felt like school and he didn't like it. Everyone here looked like someone he'd known in a past life - copies of copies, sweaty guys with average smiles and average builds and hunger in their eyes. Jin wasn't like them, he decided. He was skinnier, by far; the silver stud in his nose glittered, defiantly. His eyes flashed with brooding, with reluctance, with all the imagined distance between himself and his peers. He forced his chin up and he strode through the stage. He tried to concentrate, to be present, but the adrenaline crept behind his gut and pushed into his empty skull and caused him to be reckless. 'This will be the hardest battle I've ever fought,' he told himself, 'but I can do this. I trust my pokémon and they trust me. I miss Mohsen. We'll fight for him.' Something like confusion was swirling around his head, like a camp of demons, but the feelings were vague and numbing and he shut out all the skepticism. 'This may be a farce,' he thought, looking around the gym, 'but this is my battle to fight.'

[ 3 ]
The Battle!! <TenchiSD> LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!! <TenchiSD> WELCOME TO THE KEVIN BACONVILLE COMMON GYM!! <jin> woo <TenchiSD> IN THE RIGHT CORNER WE HAVE THE CHALLENGER JIN AND HIS FIRST pOKEMON!! <jin> our challenger, jin white, is groggy and a little sullen, but his heart is pounding, and he's ready to fight <jin> he leads with a newer pokémon for his team, the recently-evolved dragon: <TenchiSD> *School kids of all ages on their school field trip are clapping, cheering and aweing* <jin> Garchomp LVL 63 male @rocky helmet { Rough Skin } <TenchiSD> IN THE LEFT CORNER WE HAVE THE GYM LEADER JOE AND HIS STARTING POKEMON!! <TenchiSD> Joe kicks things off with: A male Galvantula, Lvl. 65, 195/195, Compound Eyes, Focus Sash <TenchiSD> Challenger has the first move! <TenchiSD> Ready.... <TenchiSD> BEGIN!!!! <jin> "A sticky web lead," Jin says, to the big dragon. The dragon doesn't seem to care, but tosses his head and snarls at the spider. <jin> "Stealth Rocks, Dragon Claw." <jin> *Stealth Rock, I mean <TenchiSD> "Hmmm... smart kid..." Joe replies. <TenchiSD> "Sticky Web, Bug Buzz" <TenchiSD> The spider's speed allows it to make a nice web over Garchomp's side of the field. <TenchiSD> Garchomp replies by laying rocks on the spider's side. <TenchiSD> Garchomp is then struck by some very loud buzzing. HP down to 157/252 <TenchiSD> The land shark replies with a claw swipe. Galvantula does not like it. 85/195 <TenchiSD> "Spider Web Galvantula... and follow it up with Bug Buzz!" <TenchiSD> Carry on! <jin> "Sandstorm... and Dragon Claw." <TenchiSD> More sticky webs fly toward the land shark. It may not switch out. <TenchiSD> Garchomp kicks up a sand storm! <TenchiSD> More buzzing ensues! Garchomp is down to 71/252. <TenchiSD> Garchomp replies with another Dragon Claw and we begin to understand the meaning of the word overkill. +1.5 exp and 2 speed evs for the land shark <jin> speed EVs, awesome <jin> &levels up to 64 <TenchiSD> its levels up to 64 and is up to 75/256 hp <TenchiSD> "You've trained that dragon well." <TenchiSD> Galvantula is recalled. <jin> Jin grins, despite himself. "This one hasn't been easy to train. He's a child, still, but a big one." <TenchiSD> Joe's second Pokemon is: Florges, Female, Lvl 67, 201/201, Flower Veil, Leftover. <TenchiSD> "Let's see how you handle this." <jin> Spider Web went down with Galvantula, yeah ? <TenchiSD> I think not. <TenchiSD> let me check <jin> Jin stares at the strange, flowering creature with a bit of unease <TenchiSD> You know... <TenchiSD> its stupid that if the pokemon goes out the move stops working <TenchiSD> The dragon can switch out it seems <jin> perish trapping would be the whole metagame if it didn't work that way haha <TenchiSD> that is the whole point <TenchiSD> anyway <TenchiSD> you have three switches as usual. <jin> Jin pulls the dragon back, using his first switch. <jin> And he tosses out an excadrill, which doesn't fall to the ground, but instead floats above it on an impossibly resilient red balloon <TenchiSD> Sandstorm is in round 2/5 and Florges gets pounded by rocks. 176/201 <jin> Excadrill LVL 61 F @air balloon [ Mold Breaker & Sand Force & Sand Rush ] <jin> "Hey, Daisy," says Jin. "Clear these webs up, and then clear the flower up. Rapid Spin & Earthquake, please." <TenchiSD> "Petal Dance!" <TenchiSD> Excadrill is first due to its speed. There are no more webs. <TenchiSD> Florges feels inspired over the loss of her team mate. Petals savagely strikes the floating Excadrill. Critical Hit for exactly 244 Hp! <TenchiSD> It gets +1.4 exp for the victory. (1.4/1.5) <jin> owch, was that double damage or 1.5 ? <TenchiSD> Double. <TenchiSD> Or was crit 1.5? <jin> in gen 6 it's 1.5, but it's your call - you don't need to change the play <TenchiSD> hmmm. We should make rules for crit hits in the pedia just to clarify that <TenchiSD> 1.5 damage it is <TenchiSD> Excadrill is without a balloon and at 61/244 <TenchiSD> Excadrill reminds us of the term overkill. 184 more damage leaves Florges at negative hp. +1.6 Exp and 3 special defense evs for the drill mole thing. <jin> levels to 62 <TenchiSD> "Hmmm... I'll have to up my game." <TenchiSD> Excadrill recalls poor Florges. <TenchiSD> Joe's third Pokemon is: Quagsire, male, Lvl. 66, 264/264, Unaware, Leftovers <TenchiSD> rocks hit for 231/264 <jin> Jin cocks his eyebrow at the weird-shaped pokémon, finding it strangely endearing <jin> He knows it's a physical wall, but he also knows that Excadrill is something of a wall breaker in the sand. <TenchiSD> Jin still has 2 more switches. <TenchiSD> Will ye switch? <jin> He breathes heavily. "Take advantage of the sand, Daisy. Stay in." She squeaks and raises her claws, knowing full well what kind of mission this is. <jin> "Earthquake, earthquake!" he says, speaking out of turn. <TenchiSD> "Use two Earthquakes Quagsire!" <jin> Jin braces himself. <TenchiSD> I thought i'd posted the attacks. My bad. <TenchiSD> Excadrill moves like a missle. Earthquake leaves Quagsire at 52/264. Sandstorm is in round 3/5. <TenchiSD> Quagsire retaliates and overkills the mole. -200/248 hp <jin> The second Daisy falls, Jin pulls her back to her ball, with a soft but earnest "thanks." <TenchiSD> +1.4 exp to Quagsire <TenchiSD> (1.4/1.5) <jin> He puts Daisy's ball around his waist, and then he tosses out the next. It explodes in a brighter-than-usual flash, and the light doesn't fade; it's an enormous Volcarona. <jin> Volcarona LVL 60 F [no item] {Flame Body} <jin> "Finish it with Giga Drain." <jin> *Er... Volcarona is a dude <TenchiSD> O_o <jin> Jin watches and waits for that glowing green aura. <TenchiSD> Poor Volcarona was stricken of his manhood. Poor poor guy. He took out this frustration by draining Quagsire's HP. It's up to full HP... but the sandstorm struck it down to 225/240 <TenchiSD> Sandstorm is down to turn 4/5 <TenchiSD> Joe recalls Quagsire. <TenchiSD> "An interesting counter." <jin> Again, Jin is forced to smile. His love for the Volcarona is strong. <TenchiSD> "How about trying this on for size." <TenchiSD> Joe sends out a male Dugtrio, Lvl. 65, 130/130, Focus Sash, Arena Trap <TenchiSD> Joe is smiling. <jin> Jin nods, and waits for Joe to call his moves, this time. <TenchiSD> Rocks dig in. 114/130 <TenchiSD> "Dugtrio, let's end this quickly. Use two earthquakes!" <TenchiSD> Carry on! <jin> "Quiver Dance, Giga Drain." <TenchiSD> Earthquake strikes first for 136 damage! Volcarona is down to 88/240 <TenchiSD> The flame moth replies by dancing to Thriller... now if only MJ was still alive. He'd probably be proud. +1 to SpAtk/SpDef/Speed <jin> it's so... beautiful... <TenchiSD> It then goes for a Giga Drain! Dugtrio takes 114 points of damage. Volcarona heals by half (145/240) then it gets hit by more sand (130/240). Sandstorm 5/5. <jin> levels to 62 <TenchiSD> with that 1.6 exp? <TenchiSD> man <TenchiSD> evil Volcarona <jin> + the 1.7 from quagsire <TenchiSD> oh right <TenchiSD> even more evil <TenchiSD> "Thats a talented bug." <jin> "Thank you." <TenchiSD> Btw, bug gets +2 speed evs from Dugtrio and 2 HP from Quagsire. <jin> yep <TenchiSD> Joe recalls the three headed mole. <jin> both of which he likes <TenchiSD> Joe replies with a male Talonflame, Lvl 67, 201/201. Flying Gem, Gale Wings <jin> oh boy. <TenchiSD> Rocks dig in. its down to 101/201 <jin> "The threat," Jin mutters. He shakes his head and pulls the Volcarona back. <jin> I have two switches & sand is finished, right ? <TenchiSD> sand is finished <TenchiSD> and it was your second switch <TenchiSD> down to 1 <jin> as in, i'm using my second right now yes ? exca was the only switch so far <TenchiSD> Yup. <jin> "Let's go, Abdel Aziz." <jin> It was a terrible counter to Talonflame, but Jin was too proud of his breloom to play it any differently. <jin> Breloom LVL 63 @focus sash [poison heal & technician] <TenchiSD> oh no wait. Sandstorm ends this turn. <TenchiSD> Does that change anything? <jin> oh i thought it was over <TenchiSD> It ends on this round... which means they don't get hit <TenchiSD> yeah means nothing. <TenchiSD> I assume you don't change anything <TenchiSD> Your move. <TenchiSD> On unrelated news, Joe is sad over the lack of the dancing bug. <jin> okay <jin> Do I risk the 95% accuracy <jin> Yes... You got this Abdel Aziz <jin> Rock Tomb <jin> & more Rock Tomb ! <jin> Worst case you get burned, but still take it out... Hang in there, Abdel Aziz. <TenchiSD> "Use Protect and Double Team" <TenchiSD> Protect happens and Double Team. +1 to Eva <TenchiSD> Abel just pummels the shield with rocks. <TenchiSD> Joe is still sad over the retreat of dancing bug. <TenchiSD> Sandstorm is over. <jin> "Your moves, pal." <TenchiSD> "Double Team and Acrobatics!" <TenchiSD> Carry on! <jin> Mind Reader, Rock Tomb, baby. <TenchiSD> "Oh... nice one" <TenchiSD> More Doubleteam which is now useless due to mind reader <TenchiSD> Acrobatics hit hard! Breloom is down to 1 Hp <jin> owch <jin> Jin feels it, in his heart. But it's okay. <TenchiSD> Breloom makes him proud though. 82 points worth of over kill pround that is <TenchiSD> +2 Speed evs and 1.6 exp <TenchiSD> Joe recalls the bird. <TenchiSD> Joe's Final pokemon is... a female Leavanny, Lvl. 66, 198/198, Overcoat <jin> LVL 64 for breloom <TenchiSD> Challengers turn! <TenchiSD> Carry on! <jin> "Hum. Rock Tomb, twice, Abdel Aziz." <jin> "Oh. I didn't realize how fast that thing is." <jin> "Sorry, Abdel Aziz." <jin> The breloom just shrugs and gives him a breloom sort of thumbsup <TenchiSD> "Double X- Scissor!" <jin> After Abdel Aziz falls, Jin wrinkles his nose and shakes his head. He holds the pokéball close, then tosses out the Volcarona again, who appears in another brilliant red and gold flash. <TenchiSD> Rock Tomb goes off first. Leavanny is down to 69/198. <jin> Oh <jin> Sorry for being pre-emptive there <TenchiSD> Oh no wait. <jin> Apparently Leavanny is base 92 speed, who knew <TenchiSD> Leavanny is faster. Forgot to take away Volcarona's speed boost <jin> >After Abdel Aziz falls, Jin wrinkles his nose and shakes his head. He holds the pokéball close, then tosses out the Volcarona again, who appears in another brilliant red and gold flash. <jin> "Fiery Dance, friend." <TenchiSD> +1.6 exp to the bug. <TenchiSD> Joe is happy over dancing bug <TenchiSD> Though a little worried over his own <TenchiSD> Does the term overkill mean anything to you? <jin> ahah <TenchiSD> 500+ damage is nasty for grass bug thing <jin> not to volcarona, no <jin> for volcarona it's "overkill or you're not doing it right" <TenchiSD> Joe gets more dancing from a volcarona with 148 speed over 146 from the leavanny <TenchiSD> Joe recalls his bug. <TenchiSD> "You've got yourself a good team there." <TenchiSD> "These belong to you now." <jin> "Thank you, sir," Jin says, softening, reaching to shake the Leader's hand. <TenchiSD> Joe tosses out a Badge and 14,000 Zenny. <jin> -catch- <TenchiSD> "Which tm do you want? Protect, Double Team or Roar?" <jin> "Protect." <TenchiSD> Joe tosses over a Protect Tm. <TenchiSD> "Enjoy!"
Jin wins the Common Badge, 14,000 Zenny, Protect TM and 40 from winning the battle!
He also gets a T-shirt that reads: "I beat the Common Gym first and only got this T-shirt!"
