Old Rivals and New Ones

Kaiyu watched in the battlefield, while a battle raged on, his close friend Myukou next to him also watching. Occassionally he'd look around to see if Freia was there. He told her about coming since these battles were just her type of thing but he didn't know whether she should show. Still it was fun entertainment, and soon enough he was going to have a shot to step in the ring and kick some butt.

(Summary of what this thread will be about: Freia and Kaiyu are the old rivals and I think that we should make some new rivals so that they can make a team so that they're have two main team rivals. (the one with these two new chars, and the one with Salyu & friends) (And maybe Niyu's squad too.) It'd be especially cool for that story idear that I hads :3)

Freia watched in slight shock as a Spinda clocked a Nidoqueen. The Nidoqueen had been using its classic strategy of 'bang your head against the wall until the wall breaks', but in this case the Spinda just danced circles around her and she bashed a few too many times into the HP lowering zone, better known as the stuff that happens when you fail to timely eat a Bitter Berry, Persim Berry, or hear the music of a Yellow Flute. Freia spotted Kaiyu and walked over to him. 'You're toast,' she teased, 'you'll never beat Alicia, the legendary Spinda.'

(eh sure :3)

Kaiyu just rolled his eyes at Freia's comment. He knew that he would be able to beat that Spinda no problem at all. Spindas were easy targets even easier than Freia, and she was pretty easy. (pfft you wish Kaiyu) "Of course I could beat that thing into the mud!" he claimed. "I'm way better than any spinda could be." And with that he stepped into the ring and faced right against the Spinda.

'Hi, I'm Alicia,' greeted the Spinda with a wave of her paw. 'With whom have I the honor of battling?' She produced a basketball from somewhere and dribbled it around her body as she waited for the Pikachu's response.

I don't know Alicia well, even though she's a Pokemon in partnership with my stupid trainer. We've never trained together, but still I think Kaiyu's right. She'll present about as much challenge as an Abra that only knows Teleport, judged Freia.

Kaiyu just stared at her wondering if she was for real or what. "I'm Kaiyu," he replied before grabbing the basketball from Alicia and chucking it at Freia.

Myukou sighed as she watched wondering if Kaiyu even knew this time what he did wrong.

(I don't even know what Kaiyu did wrong.)

Freia caught the basketball in her prehensile ears. She considered throwing it back but decided against it.

'Hi Kaiyu,' returned Alicia, 'Touch fuzzy, get dizzy!' She touched the spark-mouse, which caused everything he saw to get all swirly and loopy.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Kaiyu cried out as her touch turned his whole world upside down. He didn't know what was what. It was all just too confusing. He didn't even know if he should attack. Oh this was the pits. How could he get out of this. Sigh, confusion sucks.

Alicia smiled crazily and pulled out a marble to play with while she watched to see whether Kaiyu would risk a blow. All of a sudden a small round object dropped down into Kaiyu's dizzy world, lightly bopping Kaiyu's head and landing in his forepaw. 'I taste bad,' it warned, 'but Freia says eat me,' it invited.

(A Bitter Berry, thrown to him by Freia. It can talk because Kaiyu is so confused that many nonsensical things can happen.)

(Ah I see, thank you. That makes sense x3)

Kaiyu looks at the berry not really sure what to do. He thinks about it and realizes that Freia is trustworthy enough to him that this should probably be something good. Thusly he takes it and pops it in his mouth and starts nomming on it. As he chews he gets less and less confused, and soon he sees a sunny view.

Alicia is no idiot, well, mostly. She immediately noticed that Kaiyu's eyes stopped being swirly. She suspected foul play but wasn't the type to complain. Instead she zipped around Kaiyu a couple times and aimed a trip attack at Kaiyu's ankles and the backs of his knees.

Kaiyu watches as she spins around not sure what to do and when she gets him at those spots he quickly falls down onto the ground, easy to be pinned and tickled if that was one's desire.

Alicia caught on and pinned the Pikachu, but not before a yellow screen flashed about her, however it quickly dissipated. 'Give?'

Kaiyu shook his head not wanting to give in at all, trying to push the Spinda off of him as best as he could. Maybe a distraction would work well on the pika.

Alicia adjusted her leverage with his pushes and kept her balance atop him. She gave him a swirly-eyed smile. ^_^ 'Do I really have to make you faint?' @_@

"YES YOU DO!" Kaiyu shouted mad that she even had to ask that. It was obvious to him. It was the rules of battling!

'Oh, okay,' said Alicia lightly, rolling the Pikachu into a furry sparky ball and bouncing him around. She thought this Pikachu was way too serious. The Nidoqueen she had just clocked was competitive, but more the type who would say 'Now's my Chansey!' and 'I'll get you get, you spiral panda,' while beating her fists at the air.

"Eeeee" Kaiyu cried out while he was getting bounced around, feeling the pain every time that he hit the ground. He didn't like this, he felt so humiliated and so weak. There was nothing he could do to get out of the bouncings. He was trapped. He sighed; maybe he should admit defeat after all.

Fortunately for Kaiyu, Alicia made a mistake. Instead of keeping him in that endlessly looping HP reducer until he fainted, she decided to have some fun, not that she wasn't having fun already. 'Four-square slam!' ^_^ she announced happily, slamming the Pikachu ball at a 45 degree angle, so that he bounced away and sprawled out on the ground.

Kaiyu saw this as his chance and as soon as he was hit onto the ground free from that bouncing fest he quickly got up and launched a thunderbolt at Alicia. He then started to use up the energy he could running around to try to confuse Alicia herself and sneak in with a skull bash.

The Thunderbolt doesn't seem to do much to Alicia because of something that happened earlier. During the turn Kaiyu's Skull Bash takes to charge, Alicia hits Kaiyu with a never-miss Faint Attack.

"EEP!" Kaiyu shouts out as he gets hit with a faint attack. "Uguu," he cries as he falls onto the ground and sighs, getting back up and attacking again.

Alicia couldn't tell what Kaiyu's nondescript attack was. That would be confusing. @_@ Except Alicia doesn't get confused. 'It sounds like you know Ayu Ayu,' she said. 'Please send her my regards.' ^_^ 'I hope you like my spiffy move. Dizzy Punch!' The Spinda disappeared and punches targeted Kaiyu from all sides, accompanied by confusion-suggesting gyrating yellow ducklings.

Kaiyu gets hit stirahgt by the attack and falls down onto the ground belly down with ducks around his head. He was too confused to be able to get up, "Uguu"

'Finishing touch!' declares Alicia with a flourish, 'Mega Kick!' The Spinda delivers the full force hind-paw blow to the exposed back of the Pikachu's head.
