It was another difficult day on the streets for Artemis- but this time with a difference. Rather than sitting alone down her alleyway, she had a little Zigzagoon buddy beside her- nicknamed, rather aptly in Artemis' mind, 'Buddy'. But he wasn't her only companion on this day. A Growlithe was lying at the end of the alleyway, his eyes fixated on the street beyond. Chance, Artemis had named him. The fire Pokémon had wandered down her alleyway the day before, alone and lost-looking, and Artemis had jumped at the chance to take him on. Another companion meant more protection- there was safety in numbers when you were on the streets.
Having two Pokémon, and having stolen and scavenged a few supplies she deemed necessary for the upcoming trip- spare PokeBalls and potions among other things- she was now more than certain that she was ready. It was time to leave- to abandon the little alleyway she had been living down for the past three years and set out on her journey. Time for her to start trying to lead an honest life. She petted Buddy, then rose to her feet and headed out of the alleyway, patting Chance as she passed him. Both of her Pokémon fell in behind her. Moving quickly, low to the ground and avoiding meeting the gaze of anyone she passed, she scurried to the north and headed out onto Route 110. She had ventured here before, though only to the very edge, and had seen a number of interesting-looking Pokémon in the distance. Perhaps today would be her lucky day, and she would be able to catch one of them.

OOC: because you're heading toward 110, I have moved the thread to Mauville City board. Also hi and welcome to PMU! This is your first Pokemon battle and a mini-tutorial! You are allowed to use up to three turns for wild Pokemon battles, but you may use less if you find 3 turns risky. Heading toward Route 110 with her new Pokemon, Artemis was trying her luck to see what exotic or unusual Pokemon she would encounter. As she was walking, most of the Pokemon scurried away, ether from not really paying attention to the human. or actually saw her and ran the other way, some seem to just duck in the grass if they heard a cyclist exercising from above. However, as she walked underneath the cycling road, Well, not all the Pokemon were scurrying away. One of them was a Zigzagoon, who was just being cute and moving around, sniffing the ground for food or danger. When it spotted the human, it stopped and wagged its tail energetically, acting like a mix of dog and raccoon. It heard that humans would give you food if you are adorable, right?
A (Level 4) Zigzagoon appeared! Weather is Clear. This Zigzagoon is nothing special.

It was nice to be able to stroll confidently down a route, certain few would bother her now she had Pokémon by her side, and knowing her life would be infinitely easier than it was prior to beginning her adventure. But it was still disheartening for Artemis to hear so many Pokémon in the undergrowth, scurrying away because of the thoughtless, fortunate ones with the money to waste on luxuries such as bikes, racing away far above her, or to spot a little face peeking out, only for it to vanish when it realised a trainer was passing through.
When she finally encountered a Pokémon that wasn't running at the first sight of her, it was an all-too familiar species- another Zigzagoon. Disappointing, but still an improvement over nothing- and in any case, it would be good to see how her own Pokémon did in battle. Catching it didn't even cross Artemis' mind- she had little food to spare in befriending it, and saw no point in catching two of the same species. She would stand to gain more by battling it, helping the Pokémon she already had to grow stronger.
Buddy tilted his head slightly as he gazed at his lookalike, creeping forwards for a better look and growling lowly, whilst Chance remained behind Artemis, watching her back for anything that might sneak up on them from behind. It was obvious which of the two was keenest to battle- and it wasn't the Growlithe.
"Guess this is our first battle," Artemis murmured, her heart pounding at the thought. "Give it your best shot, Buddy."
Buddy narrowed his eyes and charged, launching himself at the wild Zigzagoon.
Buddy uses Growl, and then Tackle.ulla

Despite their looks, the cute and jolly Zigzagoon was actually more eager to battle than the Growlithe. After growling to keep the wild Zigzagoon at bay, Buddy was ready on position as his trainer gave order. The wild Zigzagoon was fine to battle another Pokemon, as it had been doing pretty much all day. Then, clearing its throat proudly, the opponent let loose a returning Growl, weakening Buddy's effort to hit hard. That didn't matter to Buddy though, as he would just be working on getting stronger anyways. Then, hearing his trainer's permission, Buddy charged forward this time, being the first one making the offense in this battle. After it was tackled, the Zigzagoon held onto its feet, still have stamina to keep battling. It shook its head, as all it wanted was just some nice food, oh well! It'll finish this battle and find food somewhere on its own. It Growl once more, loudly, making sure Buddy knew that it wasn't afraid.

Buddy lifted his head proudly after his attacks hit, though the repeated Growls from his foe were rather repetitive and annoying to him- annoying enough to lower the amount of damage he actually dealt out. Even so, the little Zigzagoon wasn't fighting out of aggression- that much was clear from the little bounce in his step, the way he flicked his body as though he had far too much energy. This wasn't about picking a fight- he was just burning off excess energy.
"Careful, Buddy," Artemis cautioned, noticing the playful light in her Pokémon's eyes. "Stay focused!"
By this time, Chance had started paying attention to the battle raging between Buddy and his lookalike foe. The Growlithe tilted his head, looking rather curious about the exchange going on between the pair, though he made no attempt to get involved. He was content to watch and wait. After all, somebody had to watch Artemis' back, and Buddy seemed to be handling it.
Having no intention of attempting to capture this wild Pokémon- Artemis still couldn't see what she would do with a second Zigzagoon, not when she already had Buddy- she quickly narrowed down her list of options to one, very simple choice. "Keep tackling it, Buddy!"
Buddy didn't hesitate to obey, leaping forward to Tackle the other Zigzagoon again. Whether his attack hit or missed, he then spun to repeat the move. After all, if he missed once, he wouldn't miss twice- and if he hit the first time, well, getting in another blow couldn't do any harm.
Buddy uses Tackle 2 times.

Jumping out of his feet at the signal of command, the hyper energetic Zigzagoon leaped across the field and attacked for some more tackles. The wild Zigzagoon was surprised at how much energy this trained Zigzagoon had. It felt like it could not keep up with this furry foe. Being quick on his feet, Buddy landed a Tackle before the wild one had time to react. Blinking and yelping in pain, the injured Zigzagoon narrowed its eyes on Buddy, and returned a retaliating Tackle. Then, Buddy came back for another Tackle, which sent the wild Zigzagoon further into fatigue. There was no way it could keep up with this opponent! Instead of retaliating with another tackle this time, the injured Zigzagoon just made another cry, hoping to further weaken Buddy's energy some more. Well, maybe Buddy was just too excited for his first trainer battle to be even slowed down by a mild cry.
