Once Jace had left the Pokemon Laboratory, he returned to the streets of Nirven Town. It wouldn't take him too long to get out of here, considering this town was quite small. The male couldn't wait until he could step out into the wilderness and begin to build a team of strong Pokemon.
Pulling his new shiny Turtwig's Pokeball from his belt, Jace paused for a moment and released his new Pokemon. The Grass Turtle Pokemon took shape on the ground, glancing around curiously at his new surroundings. Seeing his new trainer standing before him, the Turtwig grinned cheerfully up to the male.
" So, Baron. Let's get started, shall we? "
Jace questioned, smiling slightly down to the shiny Pokemon. His Turtwig responded with a determined nod, then he began to follow beside Jace as he continued to make his way through Nirven Town.

A young girl dashed right past Jace, nearly knocking into him. She was chasing an overly anxious Lotad. When she noticed Jace, which was right after almost knocking him over, she froze and faced him apologetically. Her Lotad also stopped but had a little ways to walk to reach his trainer.
"I am so sorry! I didn't mean to cut right in front of you like that, I didn't even see you, sir," she said polietly, if a little intimidated by the trainer. Lotad, on the other hand, was more curious. The Pokemon walked over and sniffed at Jace's feet, finally stopping to smile at the Turtwig.
<Hey, do you want to battle!?> she asked eagerly. <Oh, and hello, my name's Laura,> the Lotad added with a nod.
"Excuse me, I'm Kimi. Pleased to meet you," the girl said with a small curtsey. "And, I would be honoured to battle with you," Kimi added, still very polietly.
Opponent if accepted:
Lotad- Lv. 5 [/sub]

Jace was mildly startled when the girl nearly collided with him. He froze in his spot, watching as she chased her Lotad. An unimpressed expression came upon his face when the girl faced him, showing that he was obviously not pleased.
Baron watched as the Lotad sniffed at his trainer's feet and smiled himself. The Lotad posed no harm to Jace, so the shiny Pokemon didn't feel the need to defend his owner.
" A battle? That sounds great! Oh, and I'm Baron! "
Baron exclaimed, excited to engage in his very first battle. Jace seemed to lighten up a bit himself when Kimi announced a challenge, forgiving her for nearly running into him moments ago.
" Alright, a battle sounds good. And, Jace's the name. "

"Thank you Jace. Laura, assume a battle stance!" Kimi said, a little excited at the pros[ect of a battle. She hadn't had too many battles, and she knew that her Lotad loved them.
<Hey Baron and Jace! Don't worry, I'll give ya a battle that you won't forget!> Laura said, nearly jumping out of her skin in excitment. She looked to her trainer for instructions. No matter how impulsive and hyper she could be, she would not disobey Kimi. She wanted to please her.
Kimi smiled widely and kindly. "You go first Jace," she said, her eyes twinkling. [/sub]

Jace wasn't quite as excited as Kimi was and he definitely didn't show any eagerness. A serious and concentrated expression occupied his face, as he wasn't going to take this first battle lightly.
" We can go first? Okay, Baron. Start with a Withdraw. "
Jace instructed, with a bit of a smirk. He might as well make sure his Turtwig's stats were prepared for what this Lotad was going to throw at Baron.
The shiny Pokemon ducked into his shell so he could boost his defense a bit. He watched Laura from within the safety of his shell, awaiting the Lotad's first move.

Kimi wasn't a novice when it came to Pokemon, even though she hadn't had many battles. She knew full well that any attack that her Lotad did right now wouldn't do much damage. So, she decided to improvise.
"Laura, use Growl!" she said to her Pokemon. The Lotad immediatel complied, growling cutely to try to lower the Turtwig's attack power. Two could play at the stat changing game. [/sub]

The Growl echoed inside Baron's shell, reaching his ears and weakening his attack strength. The Turtwig poked out of his shell, shaking the ringing noise from his head. Darn, that Lotad was no pushover, it seemed.
" Use Tackle now, Baron! "
Came Jace's order, glancing up at Kimi. So, she wasn't going to make his first battle all that easy now. He didn't mind; he was hoping for a challenge.
The shiny Pokemon stood up on his stubby feet, then regarded Laura with eager-filled eyes. The Grass Turtle began to make a mad dash towards the Lotad, moving in to use a Tackle.

The Tackle attack hit and managed to push the Lotad backwards slightly, but she stood her ground for the most part.
"Laura, use astonish now that Baron is so close!" she ordered, making sure not to get too excited or to get cocky. The Lotad aimed at the Turtwig, going for a hit.
The sun was shining brightly over the rooftops and it was even a little hot. There were not any clouds visible in the sky, so the only escape from the suns rays was in the shadows of the buildings. There was only a few people outside other than Jace and Kimi, and they were minding their own buisness and not even taking a second glance at the battle. It seemed as if a Pokemon battle was not an uncommon thing in Nirven Town. [/sub]

Baron watched as his Tackle attack knocked the Lotad back, grinning with satisfaction. The shiny Turtwig stood tall and proud, letting him get a little carried away with the success of his attack.
It wasn't long before Laura attacked with her Astonish attack. Baron was startled by the attack, jumping back in shock. Ouch! That wasn't cool! The shiny Turtwig had to spend a couple of moments catching his breath.
" Baron, use another Tackle! "
Jace shouted, seeing his Pokemon was surprised by the Astonish attack. The male took no notice of the people around him - he was too focused on this battle to care.
The shiny Pokemon eyed Laura, lowering his head and taking in one last deep breath of air. Scurrying up to the Lotad, Baron's little legs carried him forward to use another Tackle attack.

That Tackle too hit, and the Lotad was weakened further. But, he was no where near finished with this battle, and neither was his trainer.
"Use an Absorb this time!" Kimi said. She knew that the Grass-type attack wouldn't do much damage against Turtwig, but it would give Laura back some health. She nodded approvingly as the Lotad coplied. Green colored bubbles flew towards Baron. [/sub]

Baron watched as the green bubbles attached to his body, then began to drain away some of his health. The shiny Pokemon cringed a bit, but the Absorb attack didn't really do much damage, since the Grass type attack wasn't very effective against fellow Grass Pokemon.
" Don't worry about it, Baron. Just keep using Tackle! "
Jace ordered, watching his Pokemon shake off the Absorb attack. Other than giving the Lotad a bit of health, Jace wasn't too concerned about the attack.
Baron snorted a bit, not too pleased about having his health drained. Hmph, he would just have to make Laura lose it! The shiny Turtwig dashed towards her again, once again using a Tackle attack. Hey, there wasn't much else that he could do!

The Lotad managed to dodge out of the path of the Tackle, even though he wasn't exactly that fast on land. He heaved a sigh, shocked that he had actually avoided the attack.
"Alright then, try another Growl!" Kimi said. She smiled proudly at her Lotad. She hadn't seen Laura battle so well before. She let her smile fade and focused on the battle completely. Lotad opened his mouth and began to growl in a very high-pitched, yet cute, voice. He put a mock scowl on his face, focusing all his power into the attack.
Well, maybe not quite ALL of his power, but trying to pump it up as much as possible. He couldn't tell if the attack was having any effect or not, but he didn't stop for a few seconds. [/sub]

Both Jace and Baron didn't look too pleased when Laura jumped out of the way of the Tackle. The shiny Turtwig swung around, facing the Lotad with a look of discontent.
Just as Baron turned around, he was met with that Growl attack. The Grass Turtwig winced, feeling his attack stat take another hit. Great, his Tackles probably weren't going to do much now.
" Keep Tackling! "
Was all that Jace said. He felt his Pokemon's defense was strong enough now, so there was no reason to stay defensive.
With a determined nod, the shiny Turtwig jumped for Laura. The Pokemon ducked into his shell, trying to crash down on the Water and Grass Pokemon with a Tackle.

The Lotad was not able to dodge this Tackle, and Baron hit him from above. The attack hit a weak spot, right onto Laura's lillypad. She winced and slammed onto the ground from Turtwig's weight, adding to the damage taken.
Kimi winced. It was very obvious that Laura was getting tired. Even if she fainted though, Kimi would be proud of her. This was the longest she had ever lasted in a battle! "You're doing great Laura, can you still battle?" she asked concernedly.
<I'm fine! I can keep going!> Laura replied jumping up from the ground. She knew what the next order was, even before Kimi finished the first letter of the attack. She rushed at Baron, trying for another Astonish. [/sub]

Baron was quite pleased with himself when Laura took more damage from that particular Tackle attack. Hey, that was pretty good! When Baron's shell hit the ground, he popped out of it and grinned proudly to Jace.
Turning back to face the Lotad, he whimpered when Laura was upon him, scaring him with an Astonish attack. The shiny Turtwig backed up, feeling intimidated by the Lotad.
" You're doing fine. Tackle! "
Jace encouraged, yet the tone of his voice wasn't so encouraging. Yes, he was pleased with Baron's efforts, but now his Pokemon was growing weak. He could see the Grass Turtle Pokemon start to pant and wheeze.
Not wanting to disappoint Jace, Baron met Laura's eyes with a fiery expression. There was no way he was gonna lose to her! Catching his breath, the shiny Turtwig stormed towards Kimi's Pokemon, once again going in for a Tackle attack.
