It looks to be just a simple and friendly walking path in the woods. Your challenger is standing and waiting by one if the trees, rocking on his heels. A little blue bird is nested in his hair and doesn't look nearly as nervous as his trainer does. 1v1 battle Try not to go over 300 words each post Tailow is a baby and recovering from a broken leg. Calla might step in if he feels like his Pokemon will get too badly hurt. Opponent may have the first attack. Egg thread  Icarus male - 02 - taillow guts peck - growl @saltine |

◄ HAVEN'T YOU HEARD WHAT BECOMES OF CURIOUS MINDS? Just remember this is just for fun, Sophie thought to herself. They were both babies, both just training them up. There was no reason to get extremely competitive. Troll’s grin said otherwise. The croagunk stepped confidently forward, little glove like hands held out in front of her. With a twitch of her fingers she made a ‘come here’ motion to the Taillow. And then it began to rain. The Croagunk giggled in an awkward way, throat inflating slightly each time. “Bring out a substitute next, keep yourself out of the way,” Sophie said calmly. It was difficult, she had to bite her lip to keep from shouting and getting really into things. Somehow she was more awake fighting than anything.

Calla fidgeted nervously with his newest egg, shifting it in his arms a few times as he waited for someone to come in. He really wasn't sure about this, the whole battling thing, but the Joy at the center had said that this would be the best for Icarus. It would help him heal and adjust to the slightly crooked walk from where his leg had been broken when Calla found him.
At least Icarus seemed fine. He was using Calla's thick mop of hair as a makeshift nest, the already messy strands sticking up in more directions than he could count.
Someone came in, a girl he thought, and he gave a small wave to her from across the way. This wasn't like his previous battle with Avery; she seemed like she had a better grasp at what she was doing than he did.
"Ic." Calla shook his head, causing the little bird to flap his wings and flutter to the ground. He blinked, sleepy, the Croagunk and it's weird hand movement. Icarus mimicked his trainer and tried to 'wave' even if it was much harder with wings over hand.
"Uh.... growl?"
Icarus looked back at the Croagunk, confused. A bead of water hit his beak, but he took a few awkward hops onto the field and warbled out a very non-threatening growl.

◄ HAVEN'T YOU HEARD WHAT BECOMES OF CURIOUS MINDS? The growl made Troll close her eyes, blinking back as her muscles felt oddly tight from it. The rain picked up slowly, dotting her skin and quickly becoming absorbed. She croaked loudly. With a sudden leap backwards she deposited a rather sloppy looking doll in her place. The colors were all wrong, and the stitching looked sloppy, but it could take a couple of hits. And Troll would recover with each moment of rain. And now Sophie was stuck. She hadn’t realized she’d be fighting a normal type when they started. “Um,” she cleared her throat, trying not to let her nervousness bleed to her face. “Try to astonish it?” That sounded more like a question than a command. For some reason the Croagunk translated that as she should punch her substitute AT the Taillow. The doll flew forward with a minor amount of speed. It was surprising at least? [150] Quest Troll

Icarus was surprised by the doll, the rain, all the sudden movement- sure. But, when the doll was launched at him he managed to just hop out of the way. He tilted his head and looked at Troll and Sophie in a very confused way, then back to his trainer as if asking for guidance.
"Uuuuuuuum....." Well, this was new. The rain was already starting to soak into his hoodie, making the light green fabric a lot darker. He glanced between the Croagunk and the doll, absently scratching his cheek. "Try... Peck?"
Icarus chirped with understanding. Then, the little Taillow got closer to the doll and started to peck it harshly, pulling out small bits of loose string and fluff where he could grab them. Calla almost laughed. Almost.

The substitute was not going to last long, but what else could she do but ask Troll to astonish it again? She wasn't going to call for another substitute until the first one was dead. The rain trickling down her shirt just annoyed her more, but it had almost brought Troll back up to full energy. "Well, try it again." Troll turned to give her a sardonic look, throat vibrating again. When the pokemon was calling your commands dumb, you knew there was a problem. She rushed over to the taillow and doll, arms akimbo. With a sudden leap, she landed behind the taillow and slapped her hands together as loudly as possible. [113] QuestExp and shit to come 161/150 -> 11/175 |

The astonish did indeed startle Icarus. It was enough to have him jerk and hop away from the doll he was trying to destroy, at least. The only problem for Sophie and Troll was that the sinister feelings of unease that were usually pushed through with the move just weren't coming through to the Taillow. Icarus' typing just made it so it glanced right off, even if the move made him flinch a little.
The bird Pokemon just tilted his head to the side and hopped for Troll. He reached out to try and poke at her, maybe even groom her a little. It was not an attack, just Icarus being friendly. Then he hopped back over to the doll and nudged it towards her with his beak before ripping out another piece of stuffing.
"Oh man." Calla had raised his hand to his mouth to cover his twitching lips. This was... ridiculous. He was trying very hard not to smile since he didn't want either Pokemon to feel bad about their progress. They were probably getting something from this, right? But, man, was it hard to watch. He thought maybe the girl looked frustrated, and he felt bad but... what a 'fight'.
"Let's try Focus Energy." Icarus pulled away from the doll when his Trainer spoke. He closed his eyes and tried very hard to find his center. With a calming breath, he suddenly felt like he could take on the world! Except, not really. As hard as he tried, he didn't actually know that move yet so it failed.

◄ HAVEN'T YOU HEARD WHAT BECOMES OF CURIOUS MINDS? Sophie rubbed at her eyes, hand lingering on her face. She parted her fingers just enough to stare at the dumb Taillow as it… basically played with her Croagunk. This was embarrassing, but at least both their pokemon were being ridiculous, so she couldn’t be blamed for this entirely. “Screw it- Bring out another substitute.” Troll lifted her head up to gaze at her trainer before ignoring the command and instead waddling over to the Taillow and punching what was left of her own substitute doll. Stuffing practically oozed out, and one of the button eyes went flying somewhere. Combined with the cuts the Taillow’s beak had made, the doll was pretty much in shreds. It wasn’t unlike Sophie’s dignity. Great, apparently her Pokemon decided it was play time. Her head was starting to hurt. As if in response to her torment the rain began to pick up slightly. She yanked off her soaked hat, arms crossing. Troll’s throat vibrated again, shuddering in the rain and stretching her arms out to let it soak in. She was pretty much fully healed from her substitute at this point. [187] Quest Troll

With the enemy now destroyed, Icarus hopped back and puffed up his chest in pride. He Growled loudly, loud for him anyway, and then moved towards Troll as if to start grooming her again. Calla couldn't help but laugh softly behind his hand before he raised it up high and waved to the other trainer.
"I think that's enough... uh... training." Calla said, loud enough for it to reach both Pokemon and Sophie. "It's almost dinner time for my brood of Pokemon. Come on, Icarus." It seemed alright, so he just walked onto the field and scooped Icarus into his arms for now.
"Thanks for the battle. Even if it was... uh... " Calla shrugged, but he gave Sophie a small smile and nodded her away. "See you. Maybe we could have, like... a battle again?" A real battle. Not just a silly bit of fluff like they had had today. The girl seemed to be a lot more serious about this type of stuff than he was. He felt like he could learn how to be a better trainer from her.
With another little wave, Calla went ahead and left. The simulation would end after everyone was gone and there was no worry about cleaning up, at least.

◄ HAVEN'T YOU HEARD WHAT BECOMES OF CURIOUS MINDS? Sophie stared at the trainer, not bothering to return the wave. Her hat hung limp and soaked in her hands even as the rain began to slow. “Yeah. Come on Troll, you did… good.” She wrung out her hat, shaking the excess water from it. Troll’s throat vibrated with a series of croaks, reminding Sophie of a creaky truck … during mating season. And of course Troll’s smile was huge, top teeth clacking in her chittering. She shuddered. The Croagunk made the weirdest fucking noises. “Yeah, yeah, come on.” She gestured it back over to her side and Troll followed diligently, except that she did wave back to the retreating form of the other trainer and his Taillow. “Once these two can actually fight, yea, I’d love a rematch.” Sophie knew the frog could be a tank of a fighter, she just needed some more moves. Troll was summoned back to her ball, Sophie tucking it into her belt. She wandered out of the dome without even recalling the other trainers name. Whatever. They were sure to hit the dome again at some point. [184] Quest Troll
