"Virginia, face down and use Supersonic!" There was an almighty shriek and James could barely scream over the din, "Tackle!"

Aaron's poor Ledyba never stood a chance. With the two being suspended in air from the force of the soundwaves, plus the fact it was now terribly confused...

James peered over at the Ledyba and saw it was...

(OOC: Basically "And saw it was... fainted/barely hanging on/etc.)

Oh, merde, this is bad! James thought. He reacted quickly and called out, "Virginia, duck down!"

"Led!" Virginia ducked and Nevermore's beak scratched the top of her head. Nothing too serious, but the battle wasn't over yet. Not by a longshot.

"Okay... At the risk of sounding like a broken record, use Supersonic!"

Virginia shuddered. James couldn't really understand why. It didn't sound that bad to him.

"Really? Virginia, Tackle it."

(OOC: Jeez, I just can't say anything today without sound like an @$$hole. Sorry.)

(OOC: Your reaction is priceless. I'll explain why I said that in our little PM chat.)

Virginia saw it coming and couldn't move in time! She tumbled back. She stood, a little wobbly as Nevermore sailed over head. She frowned. "Ledyyybaaaa!" And shot up, Tackling Nevermore ferociously.

"Um, late 'Go in for another Tackle' is late?" James said, unsure of what to make of Virginia's moxie.

"Like you think I'm gonna let that happen?" James shouted. "Virginia dodge that Peck and fly around, make it confused!"

Virginia did so, busily flittering about the gym at high speed until it was nearly a blur, and Nevermore couldn't find it!

"Now, Supersonic! Then Tackle!" An ear-splitting wail pierced the air yet again, then, as Nevermore was dazed, the red blur that was Virginia shot into it! The sheer force knocked both Pokemon clear across the gym on opposite sides. Each Pokemon tumbling into their opponent's trainer.

James' voice was muffled under Nevermore's feathery body, "If you say one word about using the same old strategy..." And then he chuckled and hefted Nevermore off him. He looked at the little raven Pokemon and saw that it was...

(OOC: I didn't want it to seem like the odds were in my favor simply because I'm the main character, but yeah, I kinda did! ^_^ Oh, and spelling Nazi: won, not "one". Sorry. >.< I just hate typos!)

James recalled Virginia and walked to the door.

"Goodbye, Aaron! Thank you!" he called, doubting the man heard him. With that having been said, he walked to the Pokemon Center.

"Hi, Nurse Joy!" he called happily.

"Hi, James! Did you win?" asked the nurse.

"Just barely, but Virginia pulled through! She's one tough little Ledyba!" At this they both chuckled.

"Alright, hand me your PokeBall, and I'll heal her before you set out."

"Yes, ma'am." James said, handing over the PokeBall. He then went and sat next to another trainer on the bench. He saw the fellow trainer had some Pokemon with him. He pulled out his PokeDex...

 

"Mind if I pet your Maldito?" James asked. The trainer smiled and nodded an affirmative. The Poodle Pokemon seemed to smile happily and leaned into the petting hand. "You know, I hear such bad things about these guys, but they're really not that awful. Aren't you? Yes you are! Yes you are!" James baby-talked the small dog. He did this back home with his Subbull, Sister.

"I think they're vegetarian, too. Well, at least my friend's was. He started his journey before I did. He's probably to Askorun by now." James stopped. He looked at the guy sitting next to him. He was tall, not as tall as James, rather handsome with classical features and long, shoulder-length blonde hair. Probably only two years older than James' fifteen. Something about him... Oh. Oh, dear... "Um, can I ask you a question?" The man nodded again. "Are you mute?"

There was a pause. "Um, it's okay if you're not comfortable about answering, it wasn't really my place to ask and-" James was stopped by the man's hand on his shoulder. He took out a smartphone and showed it to James, it had the memo feature up and the text saying: "My name is Gregory, and yes, I'm mute. It's fine. I appreciate you keeping me company."

James smiled. "It's no trouble, Gregory... You know what? I never introduced myself. I'm James..."

And so they continued like that until Gregory had to leave. He installed his number into James' phone and they were going to text back and forth. James always liked meeting nice people, it made it all worthwhile. Soon, Virginia was healed, and James was on his way. He walked out of the Pokemon Center and straight into...

(OOC: OK, I think Flarsy's rival character is gonna show up here. Do I have to OK that first? I'll check. Don't post here until Flarsable has posted, please!)
