We. Are. R E A D Y~ {Gym Battle}

[Lucas Crystoff]

Lucas was standing outside the gym, clenching his fists and looking down. Every time he reached out to push open the doors, he would get nervous and his hand would quickly retract back to his side. Throughout the walk to the gym he chanted to himself "I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready" in a certain sponge-like pattern. However, once he got to the doors all of that confidence flew out the window. He was extremely nervous, and for a moment he considered turning around and training some more.

He turned around, and was about to stop walking when a popping noise was heard coming from his pocket. A white beam exited his pocket, and transformed into a Gliscor next to him. Gliscor gave Lucas a stern look, and when the playful, childish Gliscor gave you a stern look you know you were doing something bad. From that look alone, Lucas knew what he needed to do. "Thanks, Gliscor." Lucas said with a weak smile. He patted his Pokemon, then recalled him into his Pokeball before turning around, taking a deep breath and storming into the gym. Confidence raised by his starter Pokemon, he looked around, and yelled out.

"Hello, I'm here for a gym battle. Is the gym leader here?"

[ella]

Ellasyn had been waiting at the gym for a while for someone to come. It was boring there with no challengers coming and going. Oh the bright side though she got to spend time with her children, but today they won't here they where out with a friend at a birthday party which was also a camping trip at Crystal Lake. Some would say that a five and two years was to young to go on a camping trip, but honestly when there where more adults then kids going it didn't bother her. Besides the camp out was in well planned.

Anyways as she heard someone come in Ella got up from the chair she had been sitting in. Smoothing out her yellow shirt, then her black and white print skirt she walked out of the room she had been in. Coming to where Lucas was she smiled. "Yes she is." She said in a friendly manner as she stopped in front of him and reached out her right hand. "Hello, I am Ellasyn, but you may call me Ella." She added politely. She was calm and not in a rush as she spoke. It was never a good idea to rush into things. Now she hadn't said she was the gym leader and if this young man didn't get that himself well he would find out soon enough.

Lucas hid his anxiousness behind a smile, as he reached out to shake Ella's hand. His palms were a bit sweaty, but you couldn't expect much less from a Pokemon Trainer about to compete in his first Gym battle. "Nice to meet you." Lucas said, keeping a calm persona. "I'm guessing your the gym leader here? 'Cause I really wanna get this battle going!" Lucas said with a smirk, clenching his fists. He was still nervous, but the thought of his first gym battle was starting to simmer in his head, and he started to get really excited.

{Crap post, sorry x__x}

[ella]

The boy seemed to be a little nervous, but then again most new trainers where when she saw them. Allowing her smile to spread into a bigger and warmer welcoming smile she closed her eyes for a moment before opening them up. Nodding her head at his question. "I indeed am. Please come with me." She said calmly as she walked towards the battle area of the gym. Grabbing her belt with her pokeballs on it as she walked by a table upon entering the area. "The gym rules are a three on three battle with only you as the trainer allowed to switch out. The one with the last pokemon standing is the winner and if you win you shall get this." She spoke to him as she walked. Only stopping when she reached into the pocket of her shirt to pull out a badge. "A Stormcloud Gym Badge." Raising it up in her right hand she showed it to the trainer before putting it back in her pocket.

Clipping her belt around her waist she walked over to her side of the gym as a man with two flags walked over to the sidelines. "Now if you don't mind answering one question for me we can begin. What is your name?" She said with a curious look in her eyes. She was curious really she was as he hadn't told her it.

ooc: It is ok.

[Lucas Crystoff]

Lucas nodded before following the Gym Leader to the battle arena. Millions of thoughts were racing through his head as he saw the area where his battle was about to be held. The biggest one was which three Pokemon he would use during his match. As he was thinking, he faded out while Ella was mentioning the rules. His attention was only returned when she held up the Stormcloud Gym Badge.

He stared at it until Ella put it back in her pocket. And even then he watched the badge disappear from his view. After getting a peek at the badge, he remembered why he was in that Gym in the first place. He was there to win his first badge, and he would do whatever it took to get it. At that moment, he knew that all he had to do was calm down and focus, and everything would come to him. "Alright, let's do this." Lucas said calmly, confidence now bestowed in him. He took a deep breath as he walked to his side of the gym, and without thinking reached for a Pokeball off of his belt. "Lucas. Now, let's battle!' Lucas called over to his opponent before throwing his Pokeball into the air. A white beam of light erupted from the Pokeball and onto the floor, and formed an Elekid.

"Elekid!" The electric-type called out before smirking. It twirled it's arms to charge up electricity, and was ready for battle.

[Dinah Gale]

Maybe I shouldn't be singing this song?
Ranting and raving and carrying on?
Maybe they're right when they tell me I'm wrong.....?

ooc. Are you wanting to keep with a three on three battle, or would you rather a two on two, cause I'll have to add another pokemon to her team otherwise (but I don't mind, your choice).

It had been too long since Dinah had a decent challenge and this boy looked like he could play the part. If she had a penny for every time new trainers rolled straight out of the lab, challenged her gym and lost, she'd be rich by now. "Winning this battle will secure you the Stormcloud badge, a TM for your personal use and a cash prize, of up to $1500 dollars - depending on how well you do", she explained what was at stake.

Lucas stood on the edge of the battlefield, which was essentially a wide open field with a dirt and earth floor. Slightly off centre in the field of earth was a small circular pond, not particularly deep and only around 10m in total diameter. At the opposite end of the gym hall, Dinah took her place on the edge of the ring. "Are you ready for this, Lucas?" she taunted, her lips curling into a cocky smile. She took a pokeball from the pocket of her dress, tossing it into the middle of the ring. It landed with a plop! in the middle of the pond. Bursting open, a flash of red light began to swirl in the water, taking on the form of her first pokemon she would send into battle. Once released, the pokeball bounced back to the trainers hand. In the water, the little pokemon stirred, peering up at her opponent with wide eyes. "Chooouuuu!" she called sweetly. "Chiiinnnn Chooouuuu!".

While Chinchou was small, and cute, it didn't mean she wasn't capable of providing a tough opponent for any challenger and she often played on that common misconception. Her fins slapped with water playfully, taunting the Elekid forward. "Well, Lucas, what are you waiting for?" laughed Dinah, willing him into attacking first. "Scared?" she continued to taunt. "Chou chou!" the blue fish pokemon chirped, giggling at her trainers usual tactics of winding up her opponents.
