Vero stepped back after that. Seemed she got the idea, and he was sure his presence wasn't really helping her concentrate. Although, he couldn't help but smile when Tynamo's attack failed to land again. Oh, the troubles of the first leg of the journey. "What are you out here for anyway? Trying to level up for the Gym?"
Duskull had somehow sleepily floated out of the way, and now he had his eye set on the pokemon again, shivering a little as he launched another Night Shade.
[RESULT: 0] Tynamo - 23/23 Gypsy - 15/24 Duskull - 14/15

Duskull's attack did nothing again. Skye breathed a sigh of relief. This Duskull was obviously as derpy as her Tynamo, which was good.
"Tynamo, try Spark again," she commanded.
She turned back to Vero and gave him a sheepish smile. "Yes," she said. "And as you can see we clearly have our work cut out for us."
[RESULT: 1]
The attack wasn't much, but it was something at least. "Good job Tynamo," she lied to her Pokemon.

"I see~ well. Looks like you're going to need to get some experience not only for levels, but for battling too" Vero commented, wincing at the small Spark that Tynamo had executed. "Just saying nice things isn't the key. There needs to be honesty behind those words, love." He could understand that she was getting frustrated, but if she wanted to get somewhere with this, she needed to mean it. To try and help the electric type out, Gypsy wiggled free and began to cheer on the sidelines, if somewhat meekly.
Duskull groaned disapprovingly. He wanted the battle to wake him up, not put him back to sleep! Once again the black glow from before returned, and a Night Shade was sent right towards the fish... thing.
[RESULT: 0] Tynamo - 23/23 Gypsy - 15/24 Duskull - 13/15

Skye sighed. "It's hard to mean it when I don't think it was very good at all," she muttered.
"Ok Tynamo, let loose your strongest Spark now!" she said, this time with actual enthusiasm.
[RESULT: 3]
Hey! That actually did a little something! "Great Tynamo! That was your best hit so far!" she praised.

Both Vero and Gyspy leaped up and cheered for Tynamo as Duskull was sent tumbling back. He decided not to say anything about the effectiveness of his pointers, knowing that Skye got the hint and would hopefully continue to encourage the eelish pokemon. Duskull himself was even impressed, waving his wispy arms in encouragement. However, he still needed to attack, and he did, holding nothing back as he fired off another Night Shade.
[RESULT: 9] Tynamo - 14/23 Gypsy - 15/24 Duskull - 10/15

"Uh oh," Skye said. "Be careful Tynamo, I think you made it mad!" she cautioned.
"Use Chargebeam! Aim for the vitals!" she said.
[RESULT: Miss]
Duskull floated out of the way of the attack, then seemed to get bored and left the battle altogether.
Skye shrugged, then went to pick up her Pokemon. "You tried your best and you did great," she said. "Next time we'll get them for sure." Maybe there was something to this encouragement thing. As hard as it was for Skye to do.

Vero tilted his head. Aim... for the vitals? He honestly couldn't help but laugh out loud at that, wiping a tear from one eye as he flapped his other habitually. "Too bad about that Duskull... but you can't say you didn't learn something! You wanna keep looking for pokemon, or would you like to go back to Gustella?" he asked, face still a little flushed from the laughter. Although, a moment later a thought occurred to him, and raising a finger, he excitedly turned towards Skye, grabbing her hands again.
"Hey! What do you say we tag battle? You know... double up on the wild guys? Gypsy here needs to train too, and they've already got a few experience points from that Shuppet. No reason in letting those go to waste! So, what'll it be?" Vero was completely enthralled by the logic, and his Snivy simply looked on, a little saddened that he was focusing more on that girl.

Skye looked at the boy in confusion, wondering why he was laughing. She shrugged and let it go. Probably laughing at the Duskull retreating or something.
"A tag battle?" she asked, listening to him. "I've never participated in one before. But sure, I'll give anything a try once," she said, nodding. A tag battle would probably be a lot easier for her anyways and would help her and Tynamo grow.
