Paul listened carefully to Miss Riverton's explanation. It was a lot to take in, but he thought he understood it. He could not ignore psychology, so he would think about it some more later. He would figure out how to make things work. Now, though, his question had been answered. He nodded at the teacher. "Yes. Thank you." He glanced at Thorn but soon returned his gaze to the front of the classroom again.
Thorn was unsure about what they could do. He smiled at Andy when she gave them a suggestion. Suggestions from others were great! It would help them formulate their plan. He looked up when Paul spoke and then looked back to Miss Riverton for her answer. His emotional needs? He hoped they were met! He sadly realized Paul seemed to be that way Miss Riverton explained. He looked at Alice. <Do you think he'll listen to her?> he asked with slight hope.

Miss Riverton smiled and nodded. "Of course." She was always happy to address concerns and questions by students. She was pleased with the depth of the questions so far. This was going to be a good class. "Any more questions?" She looked over the class once more for any raised hands she might have missed. Otherwise, she would be ready to hand out the assignment. It was a good one.
Alice listened carefully to the teacher's explanation. Yes, it did seem like there was a flaw in what Paul was doing. She glanced at Thorn, appearing thoughtful. <I don't think he wants to be a bad trainers, so probably,> she said. <I bet he doesn't even realize what he's doing. I'm sure he'll take what she said into consideration.> Perhaps he would let them be friends now? |

Thorn nodded. That was good, right? He wondered if that meant Paul would realize he should let him be friends with Alice. He hoped so. <We still need a plan in case he still won't let us be friends.> His trainer was stubborn and did not seem to like Kiki, so he was afraid he wouldn't take that route when considering what the teacher said. Plus, he needed a friend too! Surely he had emotional needs just like him? That's what Miss Riverton had said.

<Right,> Alice said to Thorn. <Aandy's plan may be a good one if we can organize it. We might need to come up with more than one plan, though.> Their trainers seemed to be stubborn, and she doubted one encounter would be enough to to change their attitudes toward each other.
"Great," Miss Riverton said when she saw no one else raise their hand. Now they were getting to the fun part. "I want you to break up into pairs of two and battle each other with your Pokemon. While you do so, I have a sheet of paper I want you to fill out. Sport and I will be around to help point out what is happening psychologically." She handed Sport a stack of papers, and te Tyrogue moved forward to hand them out. |

Thorn nodded again at what Alice said and looked thoughtful. Ideas, ideas, ideas... His thoughts were interrupted by the word "battle." Battle? He looked up at the teacher. They were going to battle? His little tail moved back and forth in excitement. He turned to Paul and titled his head up to look at him.
Paul raised his eyebrows in interest. So, they were going to illustrate what she had told them. When he received the paper from the Tyrogue, he glanced over it and took out a pencil to fill it out. He stood up and looked at Kiki. Then at Alice and Thorn. He smirked. They were going to have to battle each other. |

"wait, we're supposed to fill out papers and battle at the same time?" <This dummy can't even read and write at the same time!> Edmund looked a bit nervous at the prospect of having to do a worksheet while trying to make sure Andy didn't get beat up too bad. <Whatever. I'm the one who has to do all the fighting anyways. You just focus on the silly paper dummy.> She patted his back reassuringly. "So who to battle?" Andy's eyes went wide while she looked at Paul. He looked evil with how he looked at Thorn and Alice. Andy couldn't let him make those two fight. She ran over and shoved Alice. <You, me, fight now! Or you're gonna have to beat up your boyfriend!> "Whoa Andy calm down! No need to shove. Sorry Alice and Kiki. I guess Andy really wants to fight Alice." <Shut up dummy! This is a matter of protecting love!> Edmund silently thanked Andy for not attacking Thorn. That Paul guy gave him the creeps.

The assignment sounded like fun to Kiki. However, she was uncomfortable at the way Paul had looked at her, Alice, and Thorn. Did he want them to battle each other? There was no way she could allow that to happen. She wondered what it would do to the Pokemon psychologically. Her attention was diverted when Andy pushed Alice.
Alice glanced at Paul and frowned. <Why is he looking at us like that? she asked Thorn. She was surprised when Andy shoved her. At the Aipom's explanation, understanding lit up in her mind. <Oh, right.> She took a fighting stance and looked back at her trainer to let her know that she wanted to battle as well.
"Ok, we can battle," Kiki said to Edmund as she stood up. This was much better than having Alice battle Thorn. She looked at Paul out of the corner of her eye and smirked. He had been too slow, and he lost.
Gary watched the scene rather lazily. It looked like he was going to have to battle that Paul guy. That was sure going to be fun. The other trainer's Pokemon had the type advantage, but Gary and Skipper would give it their best. He did not bother to move, seeing as how Paul had already stood up. |

Thorn became confused at Alice's question and Paul's expression. His eyes grew wide at what Andy said. They couldn't! He backed away slowly from Alice, hoping the two trainers, Kiki and Ed, would agree to battle each other. Thankfully, they did. <Good luck!> he told both of them before running over to Paul.
Paul blinked at what Andy did. He shrugged at what came of the scene. It didn't matter to him. Thorn and Alice probably wouldn't have been willing to battle at all. He ignored Kiki and walked over to Gary, who was sitting beside Ed, since he was the only other person he could battle. "Thorn," he said as he looked back. He was surprised that the Turtwig had actually followed him this time. He looked back at Gary, ready to begin.
Thorn grew excited when he saw Gary and Skipper. He began to jump up and down. <Hi! I think I remember you from lunch, right? I'm Thorn!> After a moment, he stopped jumping and turned to the Squirtle. <Hello! Are you ready to battle?> He was excited to get going. This was going to be fun! |

Andy sighed with relief when she saw her plan had worked. <Close one.> She looked at Alice with a bit of dread. Andy wasn't exactly the greatest fighter and Edmund had done just about nothing to train her at all. Yet she was willing to take the risk in order to protect the love the two grass types obviously had. <You're gonna owe me after this> She muttered under her breath as she took a battling stance. Edmund read through his assignment as fast as he could. "All righty then. Let's give it our all Andy!" Edmund put on a determined look as he wanted to at least be a challenge.

Gary smiled at the excitable little Turtwig. "Hello there," he said. He remembered Thorn from lunch, and he liked him. His trainer on the other hand... He tried to retain his friendly demeanor as he looked up at Paul. "Alright, let's do this," he said as he stood up. He pushed a few desks back to make space for their battle. Then he stood at one end. "I'm Gary. You're Paul, right?"
Skipper smiled at Thorn. The Turtwig seemed like a friendly Pokemon. This battle was going to be fun. <I'm Skipper. It's great to meet you.> He walked over to his trainer and stood in front of him once he looked ready. It was time to begin!

Kiki noticed what Gary was doing with the desks and began to do the same. When she was satisfied with her work, she glanced at Ed and smiled. "Good luck." It would be interesting to battle her roommate and find out what he was like as a trainer. She hoped it would be fun for their Pokemon as well.
Alice smirked slightly at Andy's comment. <Of course,> she said, flicking her leaf. She trotted over to Kiki and stood in front of her, taking a battle stance. <Shall we begin?> The assignment seemed much better now that she knew who she was going to fight. She wanted to be able to enjoy it, and she hoped the Aipom did too.

Paul pushed back some tables that were near him as well. When it was done, he placed his paper and pencil on one of them that was closest to him. He nodded to Gary. "Right." He ignored Thorn's excitableness and waited for him to take a battling position. When he did, he looked back to Gary. Seeing as he hadn't said anything, he said, "You can go first." He was interested in how this battle would go.
Thorn gave Skipper a big smile. He loved meeting new Pokemon. Now, it was time to battle! He backed up and stood in front of Paul. <Good luck!> He waited patiently for his trainer's first command.

Edmund pushed a couple desk away and took a deep breath. "All right Andy. First battle against another trainer. Let's give it our all!" Andy nodded, knowing she wasn't the strongest Pokemon in the room. <Let's do this then.> "All right, start off with a tail whip and we'll go from there!" Andy jumped once and ran at Alice with a tail whip attack.  Species: Aipom Name: Andy Gender: Female Level: 5 Attacks: Scratch, Tail Whip, Sand-attack Used: Tail whip Hit by: Health: high green |

Gary nodded at Paul. Thorn seemed pretty strong, but winning was not the point of this assignment. The trainer looked over his sheet of paper so that he would know what was expected of him. He was going to have to pay close attention to his Pokemon's behavior. "Ok, Skipper, use Tail Whip and then Tackle!"
Skipper was excited to get started. <Thanks!> he said in response to Thorn. <You too!> Perhaps he would make a new friend out of this encounter. At his trainer's orders, he turned around and waived his tail cutely at the Turtwig to make him less wary and lower his defense. Then he turned back around and ran on all fours for a Tackle.
Species: Squirtle Name: Skipper Gender: Male Level: 7 Attacks: Tackle, Tail Whip, Bubble Hit By: Used: Tail Whip, Tackle Health: High Green ***
Kiki watched as Alice was hit by the Tail Whip. Now their defense was lowered. Fine. The could take it. "Alice, let's use Razor Leaf!" It would be fun to see what kind of damage the grass type attack would do against a normal type.
Alice was hit by the Tail Whip, but she was fine. She was just going to have to be extra careful. She nodded at what Kiki told her to do. Razor Leaf was her favorite attack! She smiled as she sent sharp leaves flying at her opponent.
Species: Chikorita Name: Alice Gender: Female Level: 7 Attacks: Tackle, Growl, Razor Leaf Hit By: Tail Whip Used: Razor Leaf Health: High Green OOC: I love Thorn's sprite. |

Paul watched as Thorn got hit by the Tackle. He was fine, though; the Tackle hadn't done much damage. He tried to keep in mind what the sheet of paper asked. It was strange to have to fill out something while battling. "Razor Leaf," he said to Thorn, watching him carefully.
Thorn became less wary from the Tail Whip and was unable to dodge it. It didn't hurt that much, though. He jumped to his feet energetically. At Paul's words, he happily sent razor sharp leaves from the two on his head toward Skipper. That was fun!
Species: Turtwig Name: Thorn Gender: male Level: 14 Attacks: Tackle, Withdraw, Absorb, Razor Leaf Hit By: Tail Whip, Tackle Used: Razor Leaf Health: Green OOC: Thanks. It's so him. ^_^ |

Andy was far too close to even think about dodging a razor leaf and had it hit her right upside the head <AAH!> Edmund gritted his teeth and thought as quickly as he could. "All right, lower her defense a little more then hit her with what you got! You can do it Andy!" Edmund was starting to get sucked into the battle and was losing focus on his paper. Andy gave her head a rub then charged at Alice with another Tail whip. This time however she then used her palm tail to do a front flip and scratch the Chikorita as hard as she could.
