Failure just brings purpose, keep moving forward

[Sylvia]

Sylvia sprang into Route 802, sitting down at the beginning and lightly began to massage her Abra, Leonard's temples, those migraines sure have been bothering him. Hopefully they'll go away, as well as that green blotch. Dang, she HOPED. Oh, right. Where's Anima? Meh, she'll catch up. "I'm going to try again with you, my friend. I'm sure you'll do better this time."

[Anima Everhart]

Anima was actually ahead of Sylvia at the time, she had gone ahead and decided to wait within Route 802, she hung around near the river's edge and waited the water Pokemon swim around in the water and near by. Crystal was currently out, interacting with her old friend. That's right, this was where Anima first met her fishy friend.

Anima hadn't even noticed that Sylvia had made it onto the route, she was rather deep in thought thinking about her friend who traveled with her through this very route.

[Sylvia]

Leonard teleported lazily next to Anima. He didn't really care for reactions. He dipped his feet in the water and like out a low whanning noise, laying his head against Anima, continuing to make the low sound, as if sleeping. Which, he was. "Oh hey, Anima. I didn't know you were here. I thought I'd left you behind." Sylvia jogged up to her, being down and taking out her little fishing rod, immediately began toying with the different hooks. "I won't fish just yet, hopefully nothing will show up before I get a chance to finish up my hook."

[Anima Everhart]

Anima looked over and saw as Leonard appeared and smiled as she watched him fall asleep. "Naw, I thought i'd meet you in route 802." She said, a Feebas jumped out of the water for a second...But she spaced out and ended up forgetting why she came out, in the end she just jumped back into the water, leaving the two breeders be.

[Sylvia]

"Whoa! A Feebas! It's so cute! I want one. Uhm. Is that your Feebas? I hear Milotic are beautiful." Sylvia continued toying with her Rod, her mother gave her this, she never really used it but to catch the random Pokemon that decided it would be fun to get their mouth caught in it.

[Anima Everhart]

Anima nodded. "Yes, she's mine. Her name's Crystal, I caught her in this very river. I'm letting her play with some of her Pokemon friends while we're here. Anima waved her hand above the water to tell Crystal to come up for a second. "I have the item to help her evolve, but I don't know when a good time to use it would be. While it's true the Milotic are truly beautiful and majestic Pokemon, one has to make sure they don't evolve their Feebas too soon."

Crystal came out of the water again, curious about why Anima called her back up. She then looked at Sylvia, maybe this is why Anima called her, to meet the other breeder?

[Sylvia]

Sylvia reached down but quickly pulled her hand back, after that Moltres accident she is afraid of what the Feebas might think of her. "Oh, uhm... Will she attack me if I pet her? I kind of almost got killed by that Moltres at the Breeding Center..." Leonard had woken up and was now kicking the water around, looking backwards and beginning to again, growl. Something was coming.

[Anima Everhart]

Anima laughed a little. "Aw, did you get to close to the adorable Ho-oh? I almost wanted to get closer, but I could tell that the Moltres wouldn't have been to happy, so I kept my distance." Anima then looked at Crystal and pet her a little. "You don't have to worry about her attacking though, Crystal won't bite for you petting her. She also love it when give her nice Comments, she's a little vain, but that's one of her nice charms.

Near by, Some Pokemon watched, they say shiny things and items in the two breeder's bags, they love to take things, especially shiny things. Too bad for these humans. TEAM COON THIEVES,ATTACK

[Sylvia]

Wow. That Zigzagoon looked weak, what, was it lazy or something? Whatever. "Leonard, Ice Punch, go!" Leonard disappeared into thin air, leaving the Zigzagoon to look around in confusion. Leonard screeched and shot down, hitting the Zigzagoon upside the head, sending it flying into the floor. It's hard fur beginning to freeze over slightly, just a bit of ice, nothing to stop it from moving. Leonard teleported back, beginning to hold it's head in pain. Migraines are painful.

[RESULT: 9]
-----
Zigzagoon: 6/15
Leonard: 23/23

[Anima Everhart]

Anima didn't really feel too much like battling, she could tell this Pokemon didn't really want to battle either. She had a feeling the Racoon just wanted to steal something, she could see it in the Sentret's eyes. "Crystal can you scare the Pokemon away? I don't think either party really wants to battle in this."

Crystal nodded and shot out slashed out some water at the Sentret, startling the Pokemon. The Coon ended up running away from the surprise.

[RESULT: Miss]

----

[RESULT: 5] +1

Dang! That hurt! He could feel some of his fur frozen as well, thats no fun. In annoyance he used Pursuit on Leonard.

Zigzagoon: 6/15
Leonard: 17/23

[Sylvia]

With swiftness, Leonard again appeared around the Zigzagoon, ending up punching it from behind, ice overtaking the back of it's fur. One more attack and that Zigzagoon would be nothing but ice.

[RESULT: 4]
------
Zigzagoon: 2/15
Leonard: 17/23

[Anima Everhart]

The Zigzagoon did NOT want to be no Popsicle! He attacked again using his headbutt attack in an attempt to cause some trouble for the Abra.

[RESULT: 2]

However, he dug his own grave.

Zigzagoon: 2/15
Leonard: 15/23

[Sylvia]

Leonard didn't stop teleporting, stopping right in front of the Zigzagoon, Ice covering his fist. He pulled back and punched the creature right in the nose, sending it flying into a nearby tree, ice overtaking the rest of it's body. Leonard scowled and teleported lazy onto Anima's head.

[RESULT: 7]
-----
Zigzagoon: Fainted Popsicle
Leonard: 15/23

[Anima Everhart]

"That was very nice battling, Leonard." Anima said to the Pokemon on her head, she walked over to where the Zigzagoon laid and unfroze the Pokemon. "Why don't you run along, little one? And try to stay out of trouble." The Zigzagoon quickly nodded before running over to his friend and leaving the area.

The Feebas flopped over to Anima, she seemed to want to go back into the water. "Go ahead, Crystal, you can go back in the water." The Feebas nodded and went back into the river.

[Sylvia]

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea Leo, I'm about to throw my line out." Sylvia has been fixing up her rod while Leonard was fighting, he was a smart little guy, she knew he could handle it. Leonard had teleported into the lake and was lying on his back, pulling the end of his tail up and dropping lightly, making a sound of annoyance and his trainer made him leave the lake. Ugh. He's up next again. What is he gonna be destroying today? A Wooper? Pft. Whatever. Sylvia threw her line out and began to silently stare at the water, rubbing Leonard's blotch as she did, as to relax him before battle.
