Fiiiiiiiinally. It seemed like they were stuck on 802 forever, and when they finally reached the city thanks to a friendly Lapras who'd offered to take them ashore, Mikhail flopped onto the ground and nearly kissed it.
"Sweet, sweet civilization!" he cried, earning a thwap on the head from Snubbull. As he looked over at his pokemon in dismay, he noticed the fairy pokemon was looking up at an elderly woman. She was smiling down at Mikhail before looking to the rest of the group, two younger kids appearing from behind her as she rummaged through her purse.
"You... must be new here. Welcome to Torrentia!" She threw up her hand and circled it above her head as if they should have been looking around at the scenery then before lowering it when she finally found what she was looking for. A purple pokeball was in her hand, and as she pressed the button to enlarge the sphere, the kids did the same. "Won't you let my grandchildren and I welcome you with a little battle? Three on three? Surely you can't be ready for the Gym just yet~"
Ooh, a sneaky old crow, wasn't she? Mikhail got up and dusted himself off, looking back to Akira and Lee, sort of dumbfounded. "Well... I could use the experience... you guys up for it?" Snubbull stepped in front of the teen and snorted. HE would be battling this time, not that bug.

Lee was next off Lapras after Mik. He looked a bit confused at the boy's antics but shrugged it off. He began walking into the city when he was suddenly stopped by the trio. He tilted his head to the side, giving a questioning look. Just what did these three people want? They were in his way. He had a second gym battle to win, after all. He listened as the old woman talked to Mik. Oh goodness, Lee did not take kindly to her suggesting he may not be ready for the second gym.
When they wanted a three on three battle, Lee glanced at the older woman for a moment. Oh he had something to prove now. When Mik asked them if they could battle, Lee stepped forward toward the old woman. "Oh you bet." Lee said. He was ready to show just how ready he was for the second gym. He pointed toward the old woman. "Your move. Ladies first, after all." Lee stated. Soon the battle would commence.

As Akira followed her friends into the city, she wondered to herself how they'd managed to build the city on top of a lake. Her thoughts were interrupted, however, by the challenge from the family of trainers. "Battle? Um...Sure, I guess," she said nervously, walking over to the woman's granddaughter as she did. "I guess it'll be good training for us."

The woman chuckled, taking a few seconds to adjust her hair in a prim fashion as well as adjust her hat before acknowledging Lee. "Very well then, lad. My my, you do seem to have manners, at least. You've surprised an old woman. Now, Fifi, let's welcome him together" she said, rolling a pokeball from the end of her fingers so it fell to the ground and burst open with red light, an Electrike standing in it's wake.
"Trrike!" The woman smiled again and leaned down to place the 'ball back in her purse as her pokemon turned, picked it up, and held it up to her via her mouth.
"Very good, Fifi."
Gender: Female Level: 15 Ability: Static Moveset: Tackle, Thunder Wave, Leer, Howl, Shock Wave
Near her, the little girl giggled and waved at Akira, releasing her first pokemon - Zorua - before taking up a proper battle stance. "Don't sound so nervous! Come on, it'll be fun. Don't mind my gramma, she's just silly" she said, the Zorua standing idly before yawning.
Gender: Male Level: 11 Ability: Illusion Moveset: Scratch, Leer, Pursuit, Fake Tears
Meanwhile, Mikhail looked on in disgust as he saw who he was paired with - some punk in an expensive jogger's outfit with a look on his face that he wanted to smack off. Ugh. One of those know-it-all jocks. He waited quietly for him to release his Tepig, Snubbull doing just the same as the porker snorted and pawed at the ground. They gave each other the eye from across the 'field'.
Gender: Male Level: 15 Ability: Blaze Moveset: Tackle, Defense Curl, Ember, Magnitude, Flame Charge
"The challenged first, yeah?" Mik asked, shrugging and looking to Snubbull before any reply was made. "Kay. Tackle, Snubbull! Knock 'em down!" The dog snuffed and charged, smacking right into the pig.
[RESULT: 4] Snubbull: 28/28 Tepig: 11/15 Electrike: 15/15 Zorua: 15/15

When the old woman sent out her Electrike, Lee smiled to himself. He knew two pokemon that'd be perfect to battle with this one, but he needed one of them trained. He reached into his backpack and grabbed the right pokeball. He then tossed it into the air and grasped it as it fell down, already releasing the Pokemon.
"Grooovyyyyle" Duke practically roared out. He seemed ready for another fight. Lee was pleased to hear that as he used a potion on him. The grass type pokemon would go well against an electric type, since electric moves weren't good against grass. Someone had definitely been doing some studying on his way to Torrentia City. Lee glanced over at Mik who had already initiated the battle. "The challenged first? Sure, we'll go with that. Grovyle use Absorb!" Lee shouted out a command.
[RESULT: 5]
The boy smirked as the Snubbull stood before his Tepig. That smirk faded, however, when his Tepig was hit first. "Psh. Tepig use Ember. We'll end this quick." Tepig snorted then attacked.
[RESULT: 0]
That's what being smug got you.
Snubbull: 28/28 Tepig: 11/15
Duke: 23/28 Electrike: 10/15
Zorua: 15/15

"Ok! Go, Keima!" Akira called out, tossing out the Pokeball with her Zangoose. "Now! Quick Attack!" For a second, Keima just stood there thinking about whether or not to actually listen, but decided to attack in the hopes of ending the fight soon.
[RESULT: 4] ---------- While she did manage to avoid the main brunt of Duke's attack, Fifi did end up getting hit by the attack and turned to look at her opponent. Arching herself back, she released a Shock Wave at the Grovyle.
[RESULT: 3] -1
Snubbull: 28/28 Tepig: 11/15
Duke: 21/28 Electrike: 10/15
Keima: 21/34 Zorua: 11/15

That's what being smug got you indeed. Mikhail held in a smirk and patted Snubbull after he dodged the attack, wondering what attack he could use next. Oh yeah, that one. "Thunder Fang, buddy. Fry the bacon!" Snubbull also held in a smile as he lunged forward, sparked fangs lashing out at Tepig.
[RESULT: 6]
The little girl growled under her breath, Zorua imitating her as he shook off the Zangoose's attack. "Pursuit, go!" she commanded, the dark fox obeying.
[RESULT: 0] Snubbull: 28/28 Tepig: 5/15 Duke: 21/28 Electrike: 10/15 Keima: 21/34 Zorua: 11/15

Duke easily shook off the attack. As Lee had studied and was now witnessing, electric attacks weren't very effective against grass types. Duke got ready to attack, waiting for his trainer's command. "Duke, Power Whip!" Lee shouted. Grovyle launched himself forward at Fifi. The blades on his arms began to glow and extend before he slung his arm around to whip the blades at the electric Pokemon.
[RESULT: 7]
The attack hit hard. Fifi must have certainly felt that. Lee was now grinning ear to ear. He was going to prove that he was ready for the next gym battle.
The boy was getting irritated. He was being shown up. "Come on Tepig! Ember!" he shouted out in irritation.
[RESULT: 1]
Of course, Tepig was now irritated as well and only gave a halfhearted Ember.
Snubbull: 27/28 Tepig: 5/15
Duke: 21/28 Electrike: 3/15
Keima: 21/34 Zorua: 11/15

Seeing Zorua coming after him, Keima decided to just meet him head on and swatted the fox Pokemon away with a Scratch attack.
[RESULT: 8] ---------- "Oh dear," the old woman said as Fifi was knocked back, but the Electrike managed to get back on her feet and faced Duke again. Deciding against another Shock Wave, sparks began collecting around her body before she launched herself at Duke to try with Thunder Wave.
[RESULT: 3]
Snubbull: 27/28 Tepig: 5/15
Duke: 21/28 Electrike: 3/15
Keima: 21/34 Zorua: 3/15

Wow. He really was starting to get a feel for this battling thing. Mik found himself watching the pokemon and how they moved to try and coach Snubbull in which way to move to dodge any attacks, or to form small strategies in his head to gain an advantage. Of course, his pokemon mostly avoided the Ember on his own, but the teen was still learning. "One more Tackle should do the trick!" he called, hoping his assumption was true.
[RESULT: 5]
"No, my baby!" The younger girl cried, stomping her feet in rage over her stupid decisions. "You can do it Zorua! Just keep it up with Scratch!" Said pokemon lifted a paw and licked it, snorting as he attempted the attack.
[RESULT: 9] Snubbull: 27/28 Tepig: 0/15Duke: 21/28 Electrike: 3/15 Keima: 12/34 Zorua: 3/15

The Thunder Wave had no effect. Duke just shook it off. He gave a toothy grin then lunged forward again into battle. "Power Whip!" Lee called out. Grovyle's blades began to glow before they grew and he again lunged them at the electric Pokemon. [RESULT: 6] The attack hit hard and Electrike was out of the battle. Meanwhile, Tepig was also knocked out of this triple threat match. "Tch. Whatever. Zigzagoon, beat that tacky Snubbull into the ground for me" the arrogant lad said as he called forth Zigzagoon from his pokeball. Meanwhile, this gave Mik the option to change out pokemon if he wanted to. Gender: Male Level: 15 Ability: Pickup Moves: Sandattack, Headbutt, Tail Whip, Tackle Hit Points: 15 Meanwhile, the elderly woman gasped, putting a hand on her heart as she watched her pokemon fall in battle. "Okay, you have this round, dearie. But I still have one pokemon left. Caterpie, would you?" she said, letting another 'ball fly and patting the bug once he was released. The Caterpie looked nearly as prim as she did, closing his eyes and turning away in disgust as he saw Duke. Bleh, ignorant trainer, thinking he could win. Gender: Male Level: 15 Ability: Shield Dust Moveset: Tackle, String Shot, Bug Bite Snubbull: 27/28 Zigzagoon: 15/15 Duke: 21/28 Caterpie: 15/15 Keima: 12/34 Zorua: 3/15

Feeling the full force of the Zorua's attack, Keima decided that now was as good a time as ever to finish the battle off, leaping forward with Quick Attack.
[RESULT: 8] --------- "Caterpie, Bug Bite please," the old woman said as Caterpie leaped into the air at Duke and bit down on the Grovyle eagerly.
[RESULT: 6] +1 Type Advantage
Snubbull: 27/28 Zigzagoon: 15/15
Duke: 14/28 Caterpie: 15/15
Keima: 12/34
Zorua: 0/15

...Tacky? Mikhail sighed. "Really, if that's all you've got... you need some new material." He lived with his grandparents for crying out loud, he knew what tacky was! And Snubbull certainly wasn't some weird color, smelled strange, or consisted of musty decorative lace. "Fine. If he wants to play that way... Fire Fang, Snubbull" he said, the pink dog lunging with a maw of fire at the same time the words were uttered.
[RESULT: 3]
Meanwhile, the younger female eeped and withdrew her Zorua, huffing as she looked at her other pokeball. Drats... well, it was either this or nothing.
Gender: Female Level: 11 Ability: Thick Fat Moveset: Tackle, Aqua Jet, Water Gun, Tail Whip, Defense Curl
When the water type was released, she instantly went wide-eyed at the sight of her opponent and hunkered down in fear. The younger girl gulped now and shifted back and forth. This wasn't looking to be in her favor, and she hadn't trained much with Marill yet... darn her grandmother for insisting on battle! "Don't worry Marill. We'll get through this" she said, encouraging her shy pokemon. Snubbull: 27/28 Zigzagoon: 12/15 Duke: 14/28 Caterpie: 15/15 Keima: 12/34 Marill: 15/15

"Use Pound" Lee called out. Duke was rather irritated with this stuck up Caterpie. It readily launched itself at Caterpie to Pound it to the ground.
[RESULT: 4]
Meanwhile the lad yelled out an attack of his own, choosing to ignore Mik's words. "Zigzagoon, Headbutt" he said simply.
[RESULT: 2]
Snubbull: 25/28 Zigzagoon: 12/15
Duke: 14/28 Caterpie: 11/15
Keima: 12/34 Marill: 15/15

"Alright Keima! Attack!" Akira called, only to notice that her Zangoose had chosen to take the time to fall asleep. "Err...I mean Mio! Your turn!" she decided, sending out her new Growlithe, who immediately glared at Marill with a Leer attack.
[RESULT: 2] -1 to Marill's defense --------- Flipping up in the air after Duke hit him with Pound, Caterpie managed to right himself as he came down and used Bug Bite on the Grovyle again.
[RESULT: 9] + 1 Type Advantage
Snubbull: 25/28 Zigzagoon: 12/15
Duke: 4/28 Caterpie: 11/15
Mio: 26/26 Marill: 15/15
