((Hey, go for it. I personally love the environmental-interaction attacks because they add another layer of strategy to the game, making this superior to the console games.))

"So, are you trying to make a mess in here, Michael? Ha haeh, I'm only jesting. Your ingenuity and adaptability to your surrounding is an integral battle skill. It makes me proud to see it in a beginning trainer; the sky is the limit. Focus, Nevermore!" encouraged Aaron, switching his verbal target from his worthy opponent to his PKMN. The bird PKMN gritted its teeth and squinted its eyes going through the dirt/dust cloud and was still on track to hit with its attack. However, when Nevermore burst through the makeshift smokescreen, it was met by the ferocious Growl of its opponent, which startled the dark bird and made it flinch, altering its trajectory. The little bird hit the ground hard and went into a roll, which somehow still managed to knock its opponent back, but when Nevermore finally stopped rolling it was evident that it had fainted. Aaron called back his partner into its pokeball.

"Well done, Michael, but I'm not finished yet," smirked the lab aide, he really was having fun battling this clever young trainer, "Ledyba, it's your turn! Show them who's boss with a Tackle!"

Momentarilly pleased about the win, Michael quickly switched back to the battle to counter the bug's attack
"Agunni, dodge and land a Pound!" Michael called out, hoping that Aaron would have gotten used to unexpected attacks from him, and would be thrown off by the ordinary.
Although wincing slightly from Nevermore's final dive, Agunni got up with some new confidence over its last win, got ready to dodge its new opponment, while readying an uppercut Pound.

"Switching tactics, I see," the lab aide observed. As Ledyba neared Agunni, the foe began winding up for its counter attack. "Time for some trickery of my own," mumbled Aaron under his breath, "Faster, Ledyba! Throw off its timing!" The little ladybug PKMN's wings kicked into another gear and it flew as fast as it possibly could have, giving Michael a little taste of his own unorthodox medicine. The attack collided with a surprised Fire-type, not judging the Tackle to have arrived so quickly, and the momentary hesitation allowed Ledyba to return to its "home" side of the arena. The Bug-type was breathing heavily and wavered a little from the exertion. However, its efforts had not gone to waste, as fatigue was evident in the expression of Agunni, as well.

((I wonder if the exp from it's win against Nevermore got it to level 6 and Smokescreen? That might even the odds a bit.))

"Looks like playing by the book won't work here." the slightly suprised trainer wispered. Agunni did indeed look very tired, but the look on it's face as it got up to its feet clealy showed that it wasn't going to throw in the towel.

Understanding this feeling, Michael called his next command.
"Agunni, Growl as loud as you can, then run in and use both arms in a Pound!"

Agunni took in a deep breath, and let off an ear splitting Growl, while running it with both arms glowing white.

((Sorry but tradition dictates that during your battle with Aaron, new moves won't get learned until the battle is finished. I just got put here and would hate to break any traditions that didn't need it. Plus, I think you'll do just fine.

))

The hyperventilating ladybug took the growl with a grain of salt, almost completely helpless to dodge such an attack. It actually unsettled Ledyba enough that it had to quit flying for a few moments and regain its composure. "Return the favor and use Growl yourself, Ledyba!"

((Of note: we try to extend battles in PF - but never have we deliberately prevented a user from completing a gym battle. The only way for the challenger to lose is to get fed up before the person playing the leader does - ie, if Rahjet says, 'alright, enough e3e he's proven he knows the battle and I've extended this a decent length' than you get your badge, on the other hand, if the challenger [trust me, it's happened] says, 'I give up, this is impossible' we consider the challenge a failure. Also, godmodding or excessive plot device pulls or deus ex machina twists will result in not a win - ie, you don't win by saying you're pokemon can never faint, cos we will step in and godmod/hax back. That has happened to, which caused Bonzai to give a near-hysterical comeback.))

Thinking hard, Michael decided on another idea. Hoping this would work, he called "Keep Pounding the ground as hard as you can to block out the Growl!".
Agunni obeyed, endlessly hitting the ground with it's glowing arms, trying to make enough noise to block out the sound of Ledyba's Growl, and creating another makeshift smokescreen in the process.

Man! Ledyba's getting beaten pretty bad here; we can't seem to even catch a little break with Growl, Aaron thought disappointedly. "Ledyba, while your opponent's attention is focused on something else, land and take a little breather. But brace yourself just in case!" Even though the dirt cloud blocked his view, it seemed as though this was a good a time as any for Ledyba to try and recover a little bit of its stamina.

Noticing Ledyba's attempt at resting, Michael supressed a smile and gave his weary but still eager Pokemon the next command, something right out of Aaron's book.
"Run in as fast as you can and Pound it!". Michael was hoping that Agunni's swift and sudden appearance from the dirt cloud and its faster than usual speed would startle the resting bug and leave it no time to react.
Agunni, like Ledyba earlier, ran in as fast as it's stanima would allow, plowing through it's makeshift smokescreen with impressive speed, ready to land a crushing hit on the tired Bug type with a glowing white arm.

Exactly what Aaron had hoped wouldn't happen happened. While his PKMN was resting and relaxing, his opponent had rushed in at a rapid pace leaving him and Ledyba little to no time to react. DADGUMIT! he inwardly cursed. "Ledyba, get out of the way! Do it fast, somehow!" Ledyba tried to take off and fly out of the line of fire but was too fatigued from its previous exertions to ever actually leave the ground. Agunni's Pound landed, but not on the exposed back of Ledyba. This time the attack made contact with its protect shell, causing not quite so much damage. The rest had done Ledyba some good, granting it enough stamina to withstand that hit. Knowing full well that this would be one of his only times to attack with Agunni so close, "Ledyba Tackle it all out!" The Bug-type didn't have to go very far and boosted itself enough with its wings to fling itself at the Fire-type opponent. Aaron watched suspensefully as his PKMN's attack neared its target and landed, only to see that "all out" hadn't really been that much because Ledyba's strength was all but out before that attack.

The same feeling of a once in a battle opportunity of a close range attack had also caught Michael and he decided to capitalise on the situation with another attack.
"Give Ledyba the strongest and fastest Pound you have!"
Agunni put more of its strength than usual into its next Pound which caused the arm to glow brighter than usual, which Michael's hoped would blind or surprise the tired Ledyba. At the same time though, Agunni was also tired and he wondered if it could still battle after this last resort.
A tired, yet intensly determined Agunni thrust its brightly glowing arm towards Ledyba's underbelly at an intense speed.

One head barreled into another chest, meanwhile one arm plunged into another stomach. Taken aback by the other's attack, both combatants were knocked onto their backs. The impact had caused a shockwave to raise another dirt cloud, and both PKMN were obscured by it. As the two trainers waited for the dust to settle, Aaron became worried. He was fully aware that Ledyba had less wiggle room than Agunni. Slowly, slowly the cloud dissipated to reveal an incapacitated Bug-type being stood/floated over by a weary but proud Fire-type. Michael beamed. Aaron did, too.

"Well, Michael," the man in the lab coat said, "That sure was some battle. You have most definitely proved yourself more than worthy of this." He recalled Ledyba into its pokeball, walked across the battlefield to where the young trainer stood and extended his hand, giving him something in the process.

Michael has received the Panorama Badge! Congratulations!

"In addition to that, here is your Pokedex. You have earned this, and I wish you only the best of fortune on your journey, young man." The lab aide showed Michael where the Revitalization Machine was and, once he had fulled restored his PKMN's stamina, escorted him to the Lab's entrance.

"Thanks Aaron." the pleased trainer said. "My sister will be pleased to hear this, I heard she's nearly finished with her journey in Unova and should be coming home soon for a starter here. Tell her I said hi."

(Keep an eye out for my sister. She will have the forum name of "blackjewelwolf")

After leaving the lab and heading off to Route A, Agunni suddenly exits its Pokeball. "Agu!"
After trying to return it several times, Michael understood. His Agunni didn't like it inside the Pokeball. Despite this misunderstanding, the two of them head off for Route A. Hopefully his sister Holly would join up with him. He also wondered what she would pick when she arrived at the lab...
