<span style='color:green'>"I guess I'm up against you then."</span> *he turned towards Jeff and reached for his Pokeball.*
<span style='color:green'>"Try to go easy on me... I'm new at this...</span>

[Ibun]

<span style='color:purple'>"Hmm? Oh! Yeah don't worry. I'll try to help you out as much as I can. Go Hitmonchan!"</span>

[mute]

<span style='color:green'>"Alright, Sandshrew.... Lets start out with a Scratch!"</span>
*Sandshrew runs up and.... you guessed it, scratched Hitmonchan*
<span style='color:green'>"Good start, Sandshrew!"</span>

[Ibun]

<span style='color:purple'>"Hitmonchan Comet Punch!"</span>

*Hitmonchan lightly jabbed Sandshrew 3 times.*

<span style='color:purple'>"Heh. Had enough yet?"</span>

[mute]

<span style='color:green'>"I'm just starting. Sandshrew, DIG!</span>
*Sandshrew dug underground.*
<span style='color:green'>"I may be new but I think I'm pretty sure what I'm doing."</span>

[Ibun]

<span style='color:purple'>"Focus Energy!"</span>

*Hitmoncan tightened its' focus.*

[mute]

<span style='color:green'>"Crap. Well, Sandshrew! Come out of the ground and do a Poison Sting!"</span>
*Sandshrew pops up directly behind Hitmonchan and stings it*

[Ibun]

<span style='color:purple'>"Oh so you want to play dirty? Hitmonchan use Ice Punch!"</span>

*IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE! Hitmonchan punched Sandshrew, KOing him instantly.*

[mute]

<span style='color:green'>"Damnit. I'ma run over to the Pokemon Center real quick... Good match."</span>
*Mute marched over to the Pokemon Center holding his fallen Sandshrew*

Following minum out of the Pokemon Center, Mute says,
<span style='color:green'>Hmm... Everything I've heard you say sounds similar to what you said right there.</span>

[Josiah]

((Why am I the only one in my team posting? Let's see... We got me, and NPC, and Silver who's not back from camp yet, guess that leaves Zanther. Come on, I can't do the whole thing myself ^_^ ))

[shauni]

(Josiah, come and meet up with us, when they come back we will have the two teams again, but we can train together for now)

Shauni looked at minum confused
"Soooooooooo......if your such a powerful trainer...then why dont you use your pikachu?"
minum smiled <span style='color:red'>"Cos I wanted a fresh start thats way"</span>
Shauni noded her head and excepted the answer "Ok, I guess Im up next with Jeff, the strongest trainer takes on all the other mebers in a team to make sure he/she is ready for the team leader at the gym"
Jeff noded <span style='color:purple'>"Well, I already knew that, so shauni, ready to go?"</span>
Shauni noded, finding new found confidence from somewhere "Go tiner!"
The small torchic appred from its ball squicking happy
<span style='color:purple'>"I chose Hitmonchan!"</span>
"Ok, lets get the party started! Tinder use Peck!"

[Josiah]

*Meanwhile Team Dragoon had just left the Pok?mart and come upon another team training. A girl and her torchic were taking on a guy with a hitmonchan. Team Dragoon stopped to watch...*

<span style='color:orange'>"Maybe would should practice a bit before the gym..."</span>

<span style='color:gray'>"We could challenge this time when they're finished."</span>

<span style='color:blue'>"Just wait and see how this battle turns out."</span>
