Top Bird [Sage/Battle]

[Coralie Blake]

Coralie walked to the base of the mountain, excitement burning in her stomach. Sage had agreed to help her train Hailey, and she was sure it was going to be a good fight. Sage was an awesome trainer, and Coralie couldn't help but feel like she was lagging behind, despite being in Silver dorm.

She let Hailey out of her pokeball while they waited. The Pidgey soared overheard for a few moments before landing on Cora's shoulder to wait. She nibbled a bit on Cora's ear, an act that the bird could have never seen herself doing before Coralie had captured her. She'd found more trust in the girl than she had in her flock that had abandoned her. Someday, she'd show them. But first, she had to evolve.

[atrb=width,240] Party pokemon: Zeal (Bayleef), Luca (Rufflet), Celestine (Absol), Persephone (Ninetales), Rhett (Duskell), Scarlett (Kirlia) Sage woke up early in the morning to go out hiking with her pokemon, Zeal, her starter pokemon, her competitive Rufflet, Luca, her sweet Absol, Celestine, the love-struck Duskell, Rhett, and lastly, her seemingly cold-hearted Kirlia, Scarlett. She had a feeling Scarlett liked Rhett as much as he did but seemed to not admit for her pride didn’t really allow it to come out. It seemed more like a one-sided love/hate on her part. Sage almost felt sorry for Rhett but more training and confidence, he’ll prove Scarlett wrong and make her notice him hopefully. Besides, Sage named them after once of her favorite couples. Sage laughed seeing Rhett seemingly trying to ask Scarlett out—again. He wasn’t going to give up, was he? Sage could hear Zeal sigh at probably Rhett’s antics and Luca chirping as if he was laughing at the scene, and Celeste and Persephone seemed to be poke talking about something about who knows what. Sage didn’t understand poke language. Sage was working up a sweat and was at least thankful she and her pokemon were walking downward instead this time. She took out her water bottle and drank a big gulp since she didn’t want to be dehydrated and tired when she met Cora at the base of the mountain. It felt refreshing. She could feel the nice breeze as the sun was covered by the cloud but was probably going to come back out soon. Sage had agreed to help train Cora but actually, it was meant for herself as well. Cora was trying to evolve her Pidgey and Sage was trying to evolve her Rufflet. Her Rufflet had swooped down to perch himself on her right shoulder and ruffled his feathers tickling Sage as she giggled because of her being tickling. She also wanted to meet up with Cora to get to know her better since she seemed like a really sweet girl though she hoped Duskell or her blood-red eyed black Ninetales didn’t scare the girl. From the distance, she could see Cora and her Pidgey sitting on her shoulder just like what Luca was doing. Sage decided just in case, returned the rest of her pokemon and continued onward to meet up with Cora. She finally reached Cora’s location and said with a smile, “Hey there.” Her Rufflet chirped excitedly as if he was already ready to battle and went near the Pidgey to greet her. Though it seemed he seemed sort of wary a little bit probably because Thomas’s Starly, Aqulia was well, very much interested in him that made him somewhat nervous. He just wanted to become strong and evolve and be a very good pokemon to battle with. Sage continued with a grin, “Ready to battle Cora?” as she made space anad Luca then, flew upward with eyes of determination.

[Coralie Blake]

Cora noticed Sage before she put away her other Pokemon, and couldn't help but be a bit impressed. They looked very imposing. She was glad, actually, that it would be a battle between the birds. That Ninetales in particular would be a hard opponent. She smiled as Sage came nearer, now with only the Rufflet on her shoulder.

"Hi, Sage." She smiled, watching Hailey straighten up and coo a greeting back at the other bird. It'd been a while since she'd spoken to another bird, so she was a bit wary, as well, but he seemed a good enough sort. He obviously wanted to get stronger, too.

"Ready!" Cora nodded, stepped back a couple paces as Hailey soared up into the air, a determined glint in her eyes. "Hail, use Agility to get this started, and try a Feather Dance, before he gets too far away!"

Hailey followed the orders, although when first captured she would have been reluctant to do so. Now she trusted Coralie to help her out, and so as she flew at Luca, she began picking up speed, shifting from side to side. Aiming carefully, she tried to fling out enough of her down feathers to hit him.
