Sam walked from the lab and into Nirven Town, taking in the sights with a new light. For the first time in so long she had something to be happy and excited about. She was still wearing the smile that she had since visiting the lab, and it stayed without signs of going away.
She paused to look at the path she was taking, her hand moving once more to her best friend's collar. All of a sudden a new flood of happiness enveloped her, it was as if the spirit of Gloria was speaking to her soul. But she knew that couldn't be, that it was only in her mind. All the same, it was a wonderfull feeling.
She removed her hand from the moon charm and placed it instead upon Kin's pokeball. She took it and threw it into the air, and in a moment the Pikachu appeared with a flash of red light in front of her.
"Hello! In case you didn't hear me earlier, I named you Kin, meaning Golden. I'm Sam, your trainer!" she said happily and nicely.
<Yeah, yeah, I heard you. I suppose Kin is an okay name... not like I got much say in the matter though. I guess that your better than some other trainer's I could have gotten too. Though, not one I'd pick if I had a choice...> the Pikachu replied in a very stuck-up way.
Sam was at first taken aback by her Pokemon's attitude, but then her smile returned along with a laugh. "Well, nice to meet you too Kin," she replied. She held out her arm and then knodded to her shoulder as if asking if he wanted to climb up.
<You know I am perfectly capable of walking,> he griped, but still he did climb up onto Sam's shoulder. After a second he went further and stood on her shoulders to look over her head.
"Yeah, I know," Sam answered simply, laughing as she did so. This would indeed be interesting. She began to walk forward again, making her way through the town. [/sub]

"Hello there. You seem to be a new trainer." said a voice. It belong to a small girl who was standing near some newly planted flowers. Her clothing was dirty, so she must have just planted them.
She looked at the morph and the pikachu for awhile, before speaking. "How about a battle to test your skills." she asked, moving strands of ruby red hair behind her ear and gave a smile. "Oh yeah, my name is Mia."
She reached into her pocket and pulled out a pokeball. Clicking the button on the front, she enlarged it and tossed it on the ground. Out of it, the flash of red light took the form of a small cat pokemon. The pokemon was mainly yellow. She had a fan-like tail that was light moving in front of her face, which was a dark blue, and her ears light blue ears twitched as she sat there looking at the the two in-front of her boredly.
"Lina, we going to have a battle." Mia told the Eline.
<Really, darling? I don't think the mouse is worth to battle with moi> the cat pokemon said as she sized up Kin with narrowed eyes.
"Be nice, Lina." the girl sighed then looked back to Sam, "Just ignore her. So how about it?"

Sam looked a little startled when the girl spoke to her. How had she not seen her? Sam looked from the flowers to the girl, taking in her dirty clothes but not really giving them much thought. The 'morph smiled at the mention of a battle. Now was as good a time as any! Her smile vanished as the girl let out her Pokemon, her face going blank. Time to be serious.
Kin, at the mention of a battle jumped from Sam's head and onto the ground. He watched intently as the Eline appeared, and glared angrily at her comment. <WHAT!? I'll show you up, miss princess kitty,> he roared.
Sam just shook her head and turned her attention back to the girl, Mia she had said she was called. "Hi, my name's Sam. Nice to meet you," she began politely, her ears twitching. She hoped that her Pikachu wouldn't attack before the battle began. "And, yes, I would love a battle. Apparently, so would Kin... I apologize for his, uh, rudeness," Sam added blushing a little.
<Come on, quit your yapping and lets start this battle!!!> Kin yelled, eager to begin and teach this Lina a lesson.
"Okay, but getting angry won't help you win this battle any. Use Growl!" Sam commanded.
<Yeah, yeah, I know!> Kin yelled. The Pikachu had no problem in growling viciously at the Eline, he even enjoyed it. The Electric mouse desperately wanted to do some real damage to the snooty opponent, but he realized that it was smarter to weaken her stats first. Besides, they were both Electric-types... [/sub]

Lina watched as the mouse pokemon jumped from his owner's shoulder. She listen to his comeback to her earlier statement. She gave off a purring laugh.
<That seems more of a compliment than an insult, love.>she replied, still fanning her face with the her tail.
Mia just gave another sigh. "No need to apologize, she acts the same way as you can see."
As the battle started, the Eline could feel the strength sap from her. But she didn't seem to mind. Lina kept fanning away, waiting for Mia's order.
"Lina use Charm on the Pikachu." the girl ordered.
Lina was up on her paws, her blue tail swayed in the back of her. She gave a cuties grin and a wink at the mouse pokemon as she used Charm.

Sam smiled then reverted back to her expressionless face. She knew better to celebrate as the attack power of the Eline was sapped away. The attack didn't even seem to phase the cat Pokemon. She grimaced a bit as the Eline used charm, knowing it would lower Kin's attack more that he had done to her.
Kin bared his teeth at Lina, much like a dog would do. He too felt his strength diminishing, but he would not give her the satisfaction of knowing that. He could not deny the Eline's beauty from himself, but he could from her.
<Well, it wasn't! You should keep that tail in front of you; it hides how ugly you really are!> he replied rudely.
"Yeah, what'll we do with them?" Sam said to the girl, a mock look of frustration on her face. She was fond of the Pikachu, but he could use an attitude adjustment... "Kin, use Thundershock!" she called. She knew that the attack wouldn't do much damage, but it would do some.
Kin focused his energy into a bolt of electricity that flew from his cheeks at the Eline. <Try this on for size, furrball!> he taunted. [/sub]

Lina wasn't phased by the comment of the Pikachu. She herself knew she was beatiful and no one could tell her other wise. She felt the electrical current course through her body. But being a electric-type pokemon and plus the earlier status effect, it hardly did a thing.
"Come on Lina, use Scratch." The red-haired girl commanded.
<Darling, let me show you what a real attack is like!> she purred.
The cat pokemon rushed towards the mouse pokemon. Just a few feet away, she jumped and flipped towards Kin, curling into a tight ball. Briefly before she got close she uncurled her body, paw was in the air with outstretched claws, diving down towards her prey with as much force as she could muster.

Kin tried to jump away, but his speed proved to be insuficient to evade the attack. He felt the sharp claws rake into his body, cutting him. He broke away, clutching his torn arm. The Pikachu bit his lip, sending a glare the Eline's way.
Sam bit her lip as well, out of concern for her new Pokemon. She knew that he was okay, that he still had a lot of health left before he would faint, but she still hated to see him get hurt. She brushed her thoughts away and furrowed her brow in thought. All that Kin knew was Growl, Tail Whip, and Thundershock... none of which would do much, if any, damage.
<Sam, come on! What d'you want me to do!?> Kin called angrily from his spot. He wanted to get that smug cat back, and didn't even want to wait the couple of seconds that Samantha had been thinking.
After the Pikachu spoke, Sam's Umbreon tail shot straight out. She had been struck by a sudded idea. "Kin, use a Tail Whip powered with your Thundershock!" she commanded.
The Pikachu smiled at the order. It was a good idea, if it worked. Kin ran at Lina with all of his speed, focusing his Thundershock upon his own tail as he ran. As he neared the Eline, he jumped into the air. He twisted around, putting as much power into the electrified Tail Whip as he possibly could. [/sub]

When she was satisfied with her attack, the Eline jumped back and began to lick her claws of the little blood that was on them. She gave a small purr as she did this and once finished she went back into battle position, only to be met with the electrified Tail Whip from the mouse pokemon.
The cat pokemon was hit with the tail in the side of her face, throwing her backwards. Lina gave a yowl of pain as the attack flowed through her. The cat had skidded along was on her back, but had gotten up.
<The electricity had gotten stronger! How can this be?!> The Eline hissed through her fangs, narrowing her eyes at Kin as her tail lashed angrily.
Mia knew what happened. The Tail Whip had lowered Lina's defense and along with the Thunder Shock it did more damage. It was a good strategy. Mia had to think out her attacks more.
"Lina, climb the tree."
<Climb the tree? My claws would get ruined!>
"Look, do you want to win or not?"
<.....> The Eline did what she was told. She began to climb the tree gracefully until she came to the first branch. She stood there, looking down at her trainer and waited for more commands.
"Now, hide in the thickest part and wait." the girl said.
The cat pokemon gave a nod and went to hide. Whatever her trainer has plan better work.

Kin smiled proudly after his attack had struck, adn even morew so at the Eline's outrage and confusion. He gave Sam a glance. Maybe this trainer wouldn't be so bad. His eyes shone with new respect, but now was not the time for it.
While the Pikachu was distracted, Lina had already climbed the tree. Kin payed attention in enough time to hear the Cat Pokemon get told to hide and wait in the thick part of the tree. The Electric mouse cursed the Eline's move, knowing that her trainer HAD to have something in mind.
Samanth merely watched everything in silence. She managed to catch the glance given to her by Kin, and smiled. This battle was proving to be more rewarding that just experience. She watched with mild curiosity as the Elin hid in the tree.
Her first impulse was to tell her Pikachu to go in after it, but she thought that might be eactly what the Mia wanted. Instead, she again though, taking much less time than she had earlier. "Kin, aim your Thundershock at the tree. Let's see if we can catch it on fire!" she commanded. She crossed her fingers, hoping that if the tree actually did catch on fire that it wouldn't get out of control.
<Alright, here I go!> Kin replied. He did as commanded and aimed a powerful blast of electricity at the tree. He wasn't sure if it would work, but it was worth a try.

"Ouch! What's going on?" A shrill cry of a felines vocal chords broke from tree, and the yellow cat bounded from it's branches as she had noticed a spark between two leaves, and an ember flew forward and had singed the ends of her tail. Looking up with malicious and vengeful eyes, the young cat bared her fangs and offered a long hiss. "You ruined the ends of my tail. You'll pay for this you flea-ridden little mouse!" Lina yowled, holding her stance, awaiting her trainer's next command.
Mia shook her head and offered a tiny eye roll. 'Such a drama queen.' the girl though silently, but keep her face fierce as she threw out another command. "Lina! Use scratch, but after you uncurl and scratch the Pikachu, turn around and throw out a Charm attack! You got that? Now, go!" Mia demanded, clenching a fist in hoping that her attack strategy would prevail.
Lina flew at the Pikachu with a maddening rage. 'How dare that little runt burn this beautiful pelt! Oh, I'll scratch that smug little smirk right off his face!' Lina snarled to herself as she went in for the kill, leaping up, she curled into the ball, and unsheathed her claws, extending them viciously in the mouse's direction.

A sweatdrop appeared on Sam's face at the rage shown by the Eline. She hadn't meant to make it this mad. But, that wasn't really anything to be worried about. The Pokemon's rage may fuel her attacks, but it did not make them very accurate. "Kin, try to dodge! Hurry!" she called out to her Pokemon.
Kin barely hear his trainer's voice, so distracted was he by the ferocity of the small cat Pokemon. The word 'dodge' had managed to reach his brain, and he hurriedly tried to move away, but he proved to not be quick enough in his attempt.
The claws raked at his face, drawing thin lines of blood where they had struck. Staggering back, Kin clutched at his face in agony. <Ow! You dirty...!> he yelled out at the Eline, but she had already begun her second attack.
The Charm struck the Pikachu, making him forget about the pain. He felt his attack power draining, but was paying too much attention to the Eline. She WAS beautiful... so strong, so gracefull... He lusted for her.
Sam put her head in her hand, hardly believing her eyes. She knew that it was only the power of the Charm that had made Kin act like that, but still... "Kin, snapout of it!" she yelled.
The Pikachu heard hi trainer's voice, and this time every word reached his brain. Shaking his head violently, her placed a glare upon the electric cat. <How dare you! That was really low!> he growled angrily.
Without waiting for Sam to give him a command, he unleashed a fully powered thundershock, not real strategy behind this one other than putting all of his power behind it. [/sub]

Lina was glad that her two attacks had hit the mouse pokemon. She thought for sure she'll win this. She couldn't lose to an over-grown rat. But what she didn't count on was another electric shock going through her. Even if Charm had done what it did, the attack seem to had got a boost of power from somewhere.
The cat pokemon gave a loud wail as she was hit. Once it was finished she began to stumble back and forth, trying to find her footing. But ended up on her side from exhaustion.
Kin gain 2 levels! Extra: He also gains an additional 2 levels because of the event!
"Lina, you did a good job." the girl said as she returned her pokemon. Turning to the 'Morph she gave a smile. " That was a great battle." Mia said.

After unleashing the powerful bolt of electricity, Kin was exhausted. He barely noticed the Eline go down, so intent was he on keeping himself standing. He took a few deep, steadying breaths and managed to regain his composure.
"Great job Kin!" Sam congratulated her Pikachu. She reached for his pokeball, but reconsidered and decided that Kin would prefer to remain outside. One of her rare smiles was pasted on her face, the battle having exhilerated her far more than she could have hoped. For the first time since the incident, all thoughts of Gloria and her parents were absent from her mind.
"Yes, that was a marvelous battle! Your Eline is very strong," Sam replied to Mia. "Actually, that was the first Pokemon battle I have ever been in," she added honestly.
<Maybe she was strong, but not strong enough!> Kin just had to state. The Pikachu couldn't get over his stuck-up attitude, and wouldn't admit that the Eline had nearly defeated him. The Umbreon Pokemorph just shook her head in disbelief. It would take a lot of work to change that one's attitude. [/sub]
