"A Therapeutic Melody" [Battle - Ven]

[Melody Taylors]

Melody enjoyed training in the mountains. Quite easily, it was the young trainer's favorite place to be in.

"Ichi, ni, san, Kasai. Easy as pie."

[/b] Melody said to herself as she explained to her Cyndaquil a new strategy.

When alone, Kasai proved to be quite proficient in following Melody's instructions, when actually facing someone in battle... not as much. It still took Kasai quite some time for him to break out of his shell.

"Sore kara, ii desu ka? <From there, is that okay?>" [/b]Melody nodded as she showed Kasai the technique from her notebook.

Kasai cooed in happiness as 'Mistress Melody,' the name he had given her internally, taught him new techniques. It was nice to find ways to get stronger, without getting beaten by your parents. Kasai was beginning to value his trainer more than his own parents.

"Tsugi... <For our next technique...> you remember how to use Flame Charge, now... this is what we'll do..."[/b] Melody began, as she flipped her notebook to the next page, and began teaching her Cyndaquil a new combo.[/blockquote][/font]

Ven was walking on the mountain path looking for some trainers to fight to get Nidoran up to speed with Omanyte, all of the sudden Ven started to here some one talk in a tongue from a far off land. Ven looked at Lucario and then at Nidoran, they both nodded and then Ven looked up and saw a girl training her Cyndaquil Ven smiled "hello there nice pokemon." Last time Ven went up against this pokemon he lost this time Ven would tr his best to win.

[Melody Taylors]

At the sound of a voice, Melody turned around curiously. She looked at the boy in front of her, trying to recognize him from somewhere. Unable to place him in any of her memory banks, Melody smiled warmly; meeting new people was always something she enjoyed.

"Ah, arigatou gozaimasu--Thank you. This is, um, Kasai, my Cyndaquil."

[/b] Melody said, nodding slowly.

All confidence that Kasai had stored suddenly went away at the sound of the stranger that had just approached him. Hiding behind Melody, tugging at her stockings, Kasai let out a shaky, somewhat scared cry.

"Ah... he's... a shy one as well, desu yo. He seems to really love hiding."[/b] Melody said, scratching the back of her head sheepishly.[/blockquote][/font]

[ven Hiroshima]

Ven smiled at the little pokemon, "yeah he seems to be hay little guys I'm not going to hurt you come on i just want a little battle." Ven then looked back at the girl, "my name is ven Hiroshima from cinnabar and who might you be and would you like to battle.A battle is always a good way to learn about someone right so what do you say." Ven really would like to have a battle with this one she seemed strong and Ven would have a fun time fighting this one.

[Melody Taylors]

"You know something, Ven, I agree wholeheartedly. I'd love to battle with you."

[/b] Melody said, taking out a Poke Ball. It had been a while since Midnight, her Eevee had seen combat, so she decided to choose him to fight this time around.

Or well, she would have, had the timid little Cyndaquil not let out a cry and ran in front of her trainer. This time, Kasai was going to try to be strong, even though it was very hard for him, after all, he was already regretting his decision.

Returning the ball into its miniscule form, and placing it back in her purple bag, Melody nodded softly. "Alright, Kasai, let's do our best."[/b]

Turning to Ven, Melody clapped her hands together and bowed softly. "Oh! I am very sorry, where are my manners?"[/b]

Placing her hands in front of her, formally, Melody essentially stared at Ven. "My name is Melodia Taylors, from Ecruteak. But just call me Melody."[/b] At this moment, she bowed in unison with her following words. "Doozo yoroshiku, onegai shimasu! <It's a pleasure to meet you!>"[/b]

Melody's green and blue eyes shined in excitement, more than ready to begin the battle, all that was left was for the opposing trainer to call out his own Pokemon. [/blockquote][/font]

[ven Hiroshima]

Ven saw the girl and he also bowed in return to her bow, then Ven saw the Cyndaquil run up in front of his trainer "Well lets battle then, Wardog 3 engage." Nidoran walked up in front of Ven and pointed its overly large horn at the Cyndaquil ready for battle. "now lady's first melody," Ven was going to try his best to win he wanted Nidoran to evolve and get to were he needed him to be. Nidoran wanted to be a Nidorino so bad you can even see it in the way he acted he was going to fight this battle like it needed to.

[Melody Taylors]

"Okay, Kasai..."

[/b][/font] The poor Cyndaquil said to himself. "You can beat this purple thing. Mistress Melody's depending on you... why must she depend on me? Am I that special? No I'm not..."[/b][/font]

"Hai! Okay, Kasai, let's get started!"[/b] Melody pushed up her glasses. "Ichiban... You already know this one, Kasa-kun... Sokusha! Now!"[/b]

The way Melody handled herself during a battle, combined with her melodious voice was a graceful thing indeed. Kasai, although still nervous, still managed to be soothed over by the smooth, yet commanding voice of his trainer.

Engulfing himself in a cloak of fire, Kasai began to use his newly learned technique: Sokusha. A play on the word "Rapid Fire", that is exactly what this move consisted of, a mixture of Quick Attack and Flame Wheel. Fire that was indeed Rapid, if you will. Using his newly-learned technique, the Cyndaquil charged towards the Nidoran in blinding speeds.[/blockquote][/font]

[ven Hiroshima]

Ven knew that Nidoran was not going to be able to dodge the move so he had to have her stop the attack, "Nidoran brace your self and ram your horn in to the Cyndaquil with Poison jab." Nidoran instead of trying to dodge the attack, he toward the attack horn glowing purple and pointed for the Cyndaquil's head. Nidoran was planing to go in a head on collision with Cyndaquil, with the Cyndaquil having that speed boost Nidoran and Ven highly doubted that it could dodge the attack "it's your move Melody."

[Melody Taylors]

Kasai, now aware of the Nidoran's shift in position, threw caution to the wind, and kept right on charging. Melody was quite certain that the charge, mixed right with Kasai's flame attack would do more damage.

She winced, of course, when she realized Kasai had been poisoned. Not being able to find anything that could indeed null the poison, Melody took a deep breath. "Kasa-kun, you alright there, desu ka?"

[/b]

Kasai, slightly weakened by the Poison, let out a shrill cry, showing that he still had plenty of life in him.

Nodding determinately, Melody pushed up her glasses, admiring Kasai's want to keep going. Slowly, but surely, the Cyndaquil was getting more and more used to battling, and that made Melody really happy. "Funen shite kudasai! Osu! <Use Lava Plume! Go!>"[/b]

Taking advantage of the fact that he was now at a point blank distance, Kasai began to use his Lava Plume attack. As the beautiful fiery entities closely resembling feathers or leaves danced beautifully around the Cyndaquil, they soon turned into a symphony of destruction, directed at Ven's Nidoran.

[Lava Plume has 30% chance of Inflicting a Burn! 1~3 inflicts a burn!]

[ven Hiroshima]

Ven smiled as the Cyndaquil was poisoned now he had to drain the Cyndaquils life more, then Ven saw flames coming at Nidoran Ven knew this would cause Burns but Ven was determined to win. as the cyndaquil got hurt with poison slow loosing health Ven cried out "Nidoran ignore the flames and attacker with Furry attack." Nidoran ran strait throw the flames its horn ready do do More damage to the little Cynadquil. althougNidoran did get burned he still kept going at point black range coming at the Cydaquil multiple times. "well melody looks like this is going to be a close mach but i do believe it your move."

[dice=4]
what ever the dice lands on pluse one is how many times Nidoran attacks [rand=1956723990168086686435589954413696102706092764532941108136301624]

[Melody Taylors]

Melody bit the tip of her index finger as she thought.

'Burns lower Physical Attack. Poison lowers Physical Defense... and we're both losing health little by little. No advantage for either of us, darn.'

Nodding softly, Melody looked over at the Poisoned Cyndaquil, his mostly closed eyes connected with her fully opened differently-colored ones.

"Daijobou desu ka? <Are you okay?> Would you like to keep going, dear?"

[/b] Melody asked in a tender, caring voice.

Kasai let out yet another shrill cry, as if telling Melody his fighting spirit was left intact. Nodding, Melody pushed up her glasses, and smiled softly. "Ah, subarashii! <Awesome!> In that case... Kasai! Sutemi Takkuru shite kudasai!"[/b]

The move's name, which roughly translated to Double-Edge, was an incredibly risky move to begin with. Having messed up with recoil-damage moves in the past, Melody felt more confident about this one. Kasai still had life left in him to survive this, after all.

Kasai took a deep breath and began to "scan" the opponent in front of him, trying to make sure he aimed right. Lowering his head, the small Cyndaquil charged head first in a reckless, yet insanely strong tackle.[/blockquote][/font]

[ven Hiroshima]

as the Cyndaquill was running at Nidoran Ven knew what he was going to do, Ven smiled and planed on ending it "Wardog 3 finish it run strait in to the Double-Edge with a Horn drill." Nidoran pointed its horn at the Cyndaquill and ran strait for it, the Cyndaquill if kept on its current route of attack would end up with a straight horn in the face. Of coarse if they did collide then Nidoran would take massive damage as well, it was just like a jousting match from two great knights in england. What would be the out come Werther they both fall or if one stands the next move well decide the out come of the match.

[Melody Taylors]

Melody, of course, was much smarter than this. She and Kasai had quick reflexes, else her secondary plan might've failed before it started.

"Change your course, desu yo!"

[/b] Melody commanded. "Physical to Special, and... go!" [/b]

Kasai halted his charging tackling, only slipping a bit, stopping on a dime at those speeds would be, after all, quite impossible for such little legs. Understanding the case at hand, Kasai began to release his secondary move, a well aimed Lava Plume, the strongest Special move he knew how to use at the moment.

"Quiii..."[/b][/font] Kasai growled softly, as the feather-like fiery entities spouted from his back, the same fire burning warmly from the adrenaline rush of battle. As they made their majestic appearance for the second time, they charged towards the opposing charging Nidoran, as he got closer, Kasai felt his aim improving more and more.[/blockquote][/font]

[ven Hiroshima]

Ven gasped as the Cyndaquill stopped dead in its tracks and shoot yet another lava plume at the Nidoran Ven side lets try this one more time. They were extremely close to each other Nidoran was about to hit the lava plum Ven had to finish it now or the next hit Nidoran would go down. "Nidoran bank lift then instead of using horn drill use fury attack," Ven thought that this would do it but he was not sure on ho much Nidoran can tack he was slowly losing health. Nidoran ran full speed but moving to the lift as he ran having the Lava plum just barley graze him doing some damage but not a hole lot, Nidoran jumped at full speed at the Cydaquill with its horn pointed right at the Cyndaquill.

[dice=4]
add one to the number on the atack and thats how many times Nidoran attacks

[Melody Taylors]

"Rolling Fire!"

[/b] Melody clapped her hands together. With fire being one of her favorite types, next to psychic, she had several different techniques under her sleeve, both offensively and defensively for this specific type. This next one, happened to be the latter, and subsequentially, the former.

Kasai enjoyed this move, mostly because he was so happy that he knew how to engulf himself in flames without hurting himself--something he had lots of trouble doing before meeting his trainer.

Kasai did as told, and did a fiery roll, just barely evading the Nidoran's attack. As the move continued, however, Kasai continued on using a Flame Charge towards the Nidoran's left side, leaving little to no opportunities for a counter.

However, when factored in with the poison, Kasai's health seemed more and more diminished. His breathing was slightly labored, but he could manage, if just barely.

Nevertheless, Kasai pushed forward. He was the little Cyndaquil that could.[/blockquote][/font]

[ven Hiroshima]

Ven saw that the Cyndaquill dogged all the attack Ven sighed douse this thing ever go down uggg, as Ven was thinking he looked at Nidoran huffing and buffing the burn was taking a tool on him he would go down soon. "Wardog 3 can you continue to engage respond," Nidoran nodded and cryed out that he was going to keep on fighting the good fight. Ven nodded "Nidoran use yet another furry attack," Nidoran nodded and started to run at the little mouse pokemon once more hoping this time to Pierce it with its horn. Ven looked at melody "well looks like its your move"

[Melody Taylors]

Melody's heart began to race, as was Kasai's. The fight was getting much too close, and Melody was

Imagining that the burnt Nidoran was just as weakened, Melody imagined that she and Kasai had a chance. Kasai had done so well this time around that despite the end result, she was going to reward him. Yet, she definitely wanted to win this one, it would definitely put a strong spark on Kasai's fighting spirit.

"Ichi... ni.... san! Dodge!"

[/b] Melody commanded, letting Kasai's quick reflexes take care of the move. Being hit by a sole stab of the Fury attack, Kasai managed to dodge the remaining ones.

"Now, finish with a bang!"[/b] Melody pushed up her glasses, and extended her arms, showing even further impressive command as a trainer. Her voice became much less loli-like as she pronounced the attack. "Flamethrower!"[/b]

Kasai began to shoot an inferno out of his mouth. The adrenaline itself seemed to be too much as he didn't notice too well that he was burning his mouth as he used an attack that was too strong. Yet, the flames moved on, past the poor Cyndaquil's burning mouth.

Melody watched. No matter how many battles she and her Pokemon got in, they would never fail to amaze her, nor would they ever fail to make her feel excited. Battling was just simply so fun for the dark-haired girl.[/blockquote][/font]

[ven Hiroshima]

Ven sighed at the move Nidoran was to close to dodge and he was to hurt to do any thing "Nidoran run throw the flamethrower once more and hit her with horn drill." Nidoran obeyed jumped throw the flamethrower expecting to come out although Ven knew that he would not, as the flames hit Nidoran he stopped his attack and he fell over knocked out. Ven sighed and returned Nidoran turning away from Melody throwing his red overthrow to the side so it blow in the wind behind him. "Nice fight i had fun," Ven looked at Lucario and motioned his head forward. With that they walked the way the came
