Thorn stopped running when he felt Watcher on his back, his eyes wide. What was going on? He was too confused to do anything. The pressure on his back was lifted, but he still could not see the Eevee. Before he could turn around, he was hit from behind. He scraped against the ground as he was pushed forward from the impact.
Paul gritted his teeth at what just happened before him. He had been too caught off guard to tell Thorn to do anything in response. Perhaps his roommate was right, but things would change. "Thorn, turn around and Tackle!" He paid close attention to anything else Nate and Watcher could do, not wanting to be caught off guard again.
Thorn got back to his feet and shook himself. <That was a good move,> he told Watcher as he turned around to face him. Then he ran forward again, hoping he would be able to hit him this time. That move had been cool, but it wasn't fun to experience it. Species: Turtwig Name: Thorn Gender: male Level: 9 Attacks: Tackle, Withdraw, Absorb Hit By: Tackle Used: Tackle Health: Yellow

Nate was pleased that his technique had worked. It would not save Watcher form this battle, but it was working to prepare for what would come. Now he had one last trick up his sleeve. No matter what, he was proud of his Eevee for how hard he had fought. "Sand Attack!" he shouted, knowing that Watcher would not have enough time or strength to dodge.
<Thanks!> Watcher said, grinning at Thorn. Then the Turtwig was running at him again. At his trainer's words, Watcher quickly turned and flung sand at Thorn to reduce his accuracy. Right after, he was hit from the side, but the attack was not as harmful as it could have been. Still, it was a struggle for him to stand up.
"Good job," Nate said, nodding in approval. "Now use Tackle!"
Watcher could tell this was the last attack he was going to be able to get in, if it worked at all. He would give it his best and then rely on his teammates to finish the battle for him. He gathered up all of his strength and rushed at Thorn once again. This had been fun.

<Ah!> Thorn exclaimed as sand was thrown in his face. He couldn't see very well or stop, so he just kept running. He was happy to have felt the soft fur of the Eevee, but it didn't feel as impactful as his past tackles. It was still a hit, nonetheless, right? He began to rub his face in the grass to get rid of the sand. He loved grass.
Paul didn't like to admit it, but using Sand Attack at that point had been clever. Thorn had still been able to hit him, though, even if it was not as damaging as before. "Dodge it, and then Tackle!" It was time to finish this.
Thorn lifted his face from the ground and saw that Watcher was going to tackle him again. He quickly dashed to the right. As soon as he was clear of the Eevee, he turned around, still running, and headed back to tackle him.

Watcher collapsed after suffering another Tackle attack. He did not have enough energy to even think anything as he passed out.
"Good work, Watcher," Nate said as he took out the Eevee's Pokeball and returned him. "Time for you to take a nice, long rest." He knew exactly who to choose next. "Come on out, Blaise." The Charmander appeared in a flash of light. Nate knew better than to be over confident because he now had the type advantage; Thorn was still several levels higher. This was going to be tough. "Let's try Ember!"
<Yay!> Blaise said when he heard the command. He had never used Ember in a battle before, and he was excited to test out his fire. He smiled at Thorn when he caught sight of him and waved, recognizing him from the dorm. <Hi.> Then he opened his mouth and spit out flames of red and orange aimed at the grass type.

Thorn was sorry he couldn't tell Watcher he fought really well. Then he remembered their trainers were roommates. Great! He could tell him later. He began to jump up and down in delight at his victory.
Paul looked at Thorn, unimpressed at his victory. "That's nothing to cheer about," he said harshly. The Eevee had been weaker than him; it hadn't taken much. He noted the next Pokemon Nate brought out. A Charmander. It was a good thing Thorn had experienced fighting fire-type Pokemon via the virtual machines. "Dodge it!" he said after Nate gave his order.
Thorn immediately stilled at Paul's words, his head lowering sadly. He brightened at the sight of Blaise. <Hi!> Because he was distracted, he wasn't able to concentrate on what Paul was saying, so he faced Ember flying in his face. <Ah!> He instantly rubbed his face in the ground again.
Paul gritted his teeth at Thorn's actions. "Focus! Use Absorb." It seemed Thorn was still a higher level than Nate's Pokemon.
Thorn didn't like the feeling of Ember. It had made him feel tired and worn. Then Paul said 'Absorb.' Yay! The Turtwig stood tall and bravely faced the Charmander. As he looked at him, light came out of him and attached to Blaise, draining his energy.

Nate found himself irritated at Paul's words. Did he know nothing about Pokemon training? His reason told him he should pick his battles wisely and just stay silent, but he could not help but comment. "He fought well considering the circumstances. He just needs more experience." He could not wait to battle Paul again once Eevee evolved into the Pokemon of his choice. Then they would see who was weak. Relying on innate strength was easy; it took a great trainer to improve the strength of a Pokemon. He really did not like that Absorb attack of Thorn's. The Turtwig's attacks were still too powerful. They were going to have to do something about that. "Use Growl and then Scratch!" He did not want to use Ember again right away because he thought his opponent might see it coming.
Blaise gasped when he felt some of the energy sucked out of him. <That's kind of cool,> he commented. Then he remembered that this was someone he was supposed to be fighting against. A determined look crossed his face and he growled fiercely, lowering Thorn's attack power and making him less wary. Then he ran forward with both of his claws extended in front of him.

"Hmpf." They would see about that. "Even with that, some Pokemon simply remain weak." Absorb seemed to have worked very well. He didn't want to risk Thorn not being able to dodge, given the effect of the growl, so he ordered, "Withdraw! Then use Tackle." It was probably unrealistic to think Thorn could beat Blaise. He would leave him badly damaged, however. His other two Pokemon could pick it up from there.
Thorn grinned at Blaise. It was awesome. His grin quickly faded, though, at the Charmander's Growl. He didn't like that; it had made him shiver in fright. What was he going to do now? His eyes widened at his claws coming straight at him. When Paul ordered him to, he withdrew into his shell and felt claws scrape against him. He jumped to his feet then and ran as fast as he could towards Blaise. Growl may have affected him, but he would still do his best!

'Maybe it's not the Pokemon who are weak," Nate muttered, more to himself than to Paul. He frowned when Thorn used Withdraw again. Perhaps Ember was the best way to go after all. At least the Growl had reduced the damage Blaise received from the Tackle. Now was the time to react quickly. "Ember, now!"
Blaise blinked in surprise when his claws only hit shell. What was that? He was too confused to get out of the way of the Tackle. At least it did not hurt as much as Absorb, and he was not going to fall for Withdraw again. He had to be ready. As soon as he read the order, he shot flames of Ember in Thorn's direction. Fire really was fun.

Thorn was happy to have been able to hit Blaise, for he hadn't been able to tackle Watcher the first time. He felt accomplished. He attempted to dodge the Ember this time when Paul said so, but he was too close. The fire hit him in the face again, and it hurt really badly. He fell to the ground, but he was able to slowly stand back up. <I can still fight!> he said.
Paul frowned at Nate's words, but he did not respond. "Dodge it!" he said when Blaise used Ember again. Unfortunately, Thorn was unable to do so. Now, he was worn down even more. "Use Absorb!" He could stay in this a little longer then.
Thorn smiled as he focused on Blaise and used Absorb. Light came out of him again and moved to attach to the Charmander.

Nate knew Blaise was going to be in trouble after this Absorb. An idea had formed in his mind after watching Thorn perform this move several times. He could not avoid the attack, but maybe they could use it to their advantage. "Blaise, get as close to him as you can. Then after Absorb is fished, use Ember." He hoped this would work. He did not think Thorn would have time to even use Withdraw.
Blaise nodded at his trainer's words. He would try his best. He quickly moved forward to be close to Thorn. He was just reaching him when the Absorb hit him and stole his energy. He felt really weak now, and he hoped he would have the energy to complete this battle. As soon as the move was over, he opened his mouth and attacked Thorn with Ember again.

Paul was surprised by what Nate had Blaise do, but he tried to not let it show. Even though Thorn had gained energy from Absorb, he had taken more damage from Ember. However, Absorb had affected Blaise as well. "Use Tackle!" he ordered.
Thorn felt better after he received energy from the Absorb, but it was super short-lived, for the next thing he knew fire was being flown in his face again. <Ah!> he exclaimed. He really didn't like that fire. He felt really weak now, and he struggled to stay up. He needed to do what Paul said. He needed to go for another tackle. Gathering up all of his strength, he ran at Blaise, but he felt slower than normal.

Nate noticed Thorn's reduced speed, and he saw this as their chance to beat him. He just hoped Blaise would have enough strength left to put up a fight against Paul's second Pokemon. "Dodge it and use Ember!" It really was fun to use a fire attack with a fire Pokemon. He could not wait to see what else Blaise could learn.
The Charmander was able to quickly jump out of the way of the Tackle, sighing in relief as he did so. Thorn did not look too good, so Blaise hoped this would work. <Sorry about this,> he said before sending another Ember his way.

Thorn skidded to a halt when he missed the Charmander. He looked around for Blaise and saw Ember coming his way again when he spotted him. He was too tired to even attempt to dodge. The Ember hit his face, and he collapsed.
"Return," Paul said as soon as Thorn fainted, returning him to his Pokeball. He quickly decided which Pokemon to take out next and found its Pokeball. "Cinder, stand by for battle!" His Chimchar appeared in front of him from the Pokeball he had thrown. Fire attacks didn't have much effect at all on other fire types, but that didn't matter. Cinder didn't know Ember yet. Now, Blaise was a much higher level for defeating Thorn, but that wouldn't be a problem. He had already taken a lot of damage, after all. "Scratch, go!"
Cinder looked around at where she was in a curious manner. Her eyes set on the Charmander in front of her. <Hi,> she said timidly. Her trainer told her to Scratch. That meant they were battling. She ran forward so she could get closer to Blaise, her hand extended to scratch him.

Nate grinned when the Ember worked and Thorn fainted. Blaise would be gaining a lot of experience for that battle. He hoped he would be able to hold up for the next one. Hmm... a Chimchar. That was kind of smart since fire attacks would not work well. "Blaise, use Scratch as well," he said. This was going to be interesting.
<Yay!> Blaise said happily when his attack worked. He looked at the Chimchar curiously when she appeared. Another fire type! <Hi,> he said, waving. He was too distracted to get out of the way of the Scratch. He was quick to react, however, and obey his trainer. He reached out his own claws to Scratch Cinder. Hopefully, she would not have enough time to get away.

Paul frowned when Cinder was scratched back. Her attack hadn't been too affective, and she took a lot more damage from Blaise's. They would have to move fast in order to defeat the stronger fire-type. "Scratch again!" They were close enough that there was a greater chance of attacking each other successfully.
Cinder felt happy that she had been able to do what Paul wanted. However, she felt claws scratch back at her soon after. Oh, no! She hoped she could escape that attack again. Blaise's claws hurt really bad. At Paul's order, she immediately struck out her claws again at the Charmander.
