A town…. Something that could be described as a little version of a city, less huge and less crowded. This was a huge blessing for a certain girl. She had only recently left the path that led toward the professor her lab and now she was holding the small golden orb she received in her hands. Her eyes silently wandered over the street in front of her before she sighted softly and closed her eyes
“I wish there was a nice ice saloon nearby…”
When suddenly the image of the same girl appeared beside her and nodded in a cheerful agreement she smiled happily. If there was one thing both girls shared then it was their burning passion for some nice vanilla ice cream. Looking toward the golden orb that held her Torchic the girl smiled softly and attached it to the belt that hung around her obi and then she raised her other hand in front of her face. Her other hand held a familiar red with while colored orb that was known as a Pokéball. She found the orb in the flower field near the forest and wanted to return it to the professor as a lost object. But somehow she could not part from it. The Pokéball seemed to want to stay near her. But what Pokémon could be inside it? Smiling softly the other girl leaned forwards and observed the Pokéball while she replied with a soft smirk
“You got a cute Sandshrew inside that ball~ Maybe we should start practicing with our Pokémon before we decide to take a break and have a snack~”
Nodding in agreement the girl gentl attached the Pokéball on her belt beside the golden Pokéball of her Torchic and she started walking down the streets of the town, her eyes silently wandering toward the passing people.Still she wondered how Narci known what Pokémon was inside the ball without looking into it. As the girl arrived at what seemed to be a small plaza the girl smiled happily and looked around. This place seemed to be fairly peaceful. Maybe she could find something or someone around her. But first she had something left to do. A introduction was required. Grabbing her both Pokéballs the girl made a small swipe with them just to reveal the small mouse like ground Pokémon and the little fire chick. Such a cute Pokémon. Smiling softly Athena knelt down in front of them and said with a gentle tone
“Hey there you 2~ My name is Athena and from today on I will be your trainer. You I will call hmmm Toria and you I will call San~ Nice to meet you both.”
The girl smiled softly as she pointed her finger toward the shiny Torchic and then back toward the Sandshrew. Standing up again the girl smiled at her Pokémon and gently leaned forwards to pat them both on the head. They really looked cute. Turning quite again the girl looked around if anyone was nearby that could prove to be a help for her adventure. Or maybe a wild Pokémon she could capture? Who knows? Adventures are a secret until the moment you encounter them, that is what makes them so great!

Being the time of day that it was, not many people of Pokemon were out. It was midday and lunch time, so nearly everyone was in their homes spending some time with their families.
Somewhat nearby Athena was a small house, and walking out of it was a young boy, holding, lo and behold, an ice cream cone. Upon closer inspection, there was a sign on the door of the house that read:
'Rin's Ice Cream Shop Famous for it's frozen cream and great battles. Owner- Rin, Former Bernar Town Gym Leader'
Wow, what a coincidence! Who could have guessed? An Ice Cream Shop and a chance for a battle at the same time. The little boy ran down the street laughing, probabally going to his home.

When the playful child passed Athena her eyes instantly locked on the ice cream cone it was holding. Her eyes almost looked like a kitten aiming at her prey before suddenly Narci appeared in front of her and smirked softly while raising her arm toward the nearby house. It just had to happen. A ice cream saloon and a Pokémon trainer area also?
“Athena you just won the JACKPOT!”
Cheering softly the women tried to get Athena to enter the building but there was not much resistance from the young girl her side. Her feet softly started to move until she reached the door and with a gentle swipe the girl opened the door. She already recognized the scent. The scent of sweet vanilla ice cream! Still she could not leave behind her Pokémon like that. Turning around again the girl gently scooped the Sandshrew and Torchic from the ground and said in a cheerful tone.
“Time for some fun~”
Entering the shop Athena silently observed the surroundings wondering what she should expect at a place like this.
((OOC : Hehe very short post this time since I could not really do anything inside yet ^^))

The inside of the shop was very cozy. It looked very much like one would expect a living room to look like. In fact, it WAS a living room. A few people sat on couches, eating Ice Cream cones, chatting, and watching something on a TV that was there. There was a counter in the corner, behind which sat a girl who was laughing at a joke made by one of the guests. She looked up as Athena entered, a cheery smile on her face. She stood up once she realized that she did not recognize this girl. "Hello! Name's Rin! I don't think that I've ever seen you around here before. Are you a new trainer?" she asked nicely. She noticed the two Pokemon in Athena's arms, smiling more widely as she did so. "Oh, would you like a battle? I used to be a Gym Leader, but my helper isn't much higher of a level than your Pokemon, I'm sure," she asked, her voice turning excited. "Of course, If you won you could have free Ice Cream for you and your two friends," she added with a wink. The customers didn't pay too much attention to Athena, besides giving her a friendly smile when she had entered, and a few giving her winks and grins when challenged by Rin. They all knew that the former gym leader had been itching to battle somebody new for a while now. Opponent:Miltank- Lv. 5

As Athena silently entered the room her eyes silently wandered around the room. Was this a shop? From the sight of it Athena thought she wandered straight into someone’s living room. Her eyes silently wandered toward the TV screen wondering what kind of program they had watched. It reminded her of how much she missed Professor Oak’s essays and explanations about Pokémon on Television. When suddenly the sound of a female voice was heard Athena’s gaze was aimed toward the corner. So it was indeed a ice cream shop. After the girl her introduction Athena gently lowered her Pokémon on the ground and bowed while speaking in a very polite tone
“Greetings Rin-sama, my name is Athena Kanerudo and as you see I only started my adventure recently.”
As the girl stood up straight again her eyes looked toward her Pokémon and she smiled softly. She was lucky for having such a cute Pokémon. When the same girl suddenly suggested a battle against her Pokémon Athena could feel she grown lightly worried. She wanted to become a Pokémon coordinator and the only battles she fought in her past had been sparring matches against Sabrina in the Saffron City gym. When her expression suddenly revealed hints of being worried the little shiny Torchic turned around and smiled softly. They had been ready for a battle at her command. Still…. Her eyes silently wandered toward the owner her Pokémon and her worries did not fade away. The large cow Pokémon looked quite strong compared to her little Pokémon. Should she use Sandshrew then? Her eyes wandered back toward the little sand mouse before she shook her head. Torchic could deal with this also. Nodding in confirmation she spoken in a soft and gentle tone
“I don’t mind a battle… But I just started my adventure so I will be unable to give you a great battle.”
Her little Torchic seemed to share her enthusiasm since It was cheerfully jumping from one spot to another while making soft chirping sounds like a little chick would do. The Sandshrew seemed to be hesitating to fight but still shown a certain amount of courage what revealed that she would fight if she commanded it. It would be a battle.
“But will this be the stage of battle? We might harm people if we fight here so I don’t advise this location to be at this spot.”
Smiling softly Athena still had the troubles thinking of what Pokémon she would use in battle. Would she train her Sandshrew? Or maybe her Torchic…. It most likely would be Torchic since it was her starter Pokémon. Maybe she could gain some experience in this battle. Narci in the meanwhile was aimlessly walking around the shop looking from one place to another while yawning softly from being bored. If they would have a fight they better hurry up….

Rin laughed and smiled happily. "Don't worry, I'm sure that we'll have a great battle! You see, I've never actually fought with Mel before. And you're right, I don't think that my living room would be the best spot for a battle," she replied.
With a wave for her hand, Rin motioned for Athena to follow her. She led the way to a door near the back of the room. When she opened it, it was quite obvious what was inside. It was a battle-field, an arena like one would find in a gym.
Rin walked inside and flipped a switch, causing the room to be filled with light. All of the guests grinned eagerly. One of them turned off the TV, then they all got up and entered through the wide doorway, taking seats in the stands. One ederly woman even gave Athena a pat on the back, and whispered, "Good Luck!"
Rin walked over to the far end of the field, taking her spot in the trainer box. She smiled and motioned to the end closer to Athena at that trainer box. She took from her belt a roud red and white orb.
She threw the pokeball into the air, and in a flash of brilliant red light a Miltank appeared. The Cow Pokemon looked around curiously, her gaze settling on Athena. She mooed happily and got into a battle position. <Really! My first battle!!> she cried joyously.
Rin smiled and laughed again. "Athena, you make the first move!" she said nicely.

Athena smiled softly at the gentle words of the old women who gave her a small cheer. Entering the arena Athena was so surprised this shop had such a huge arena inside it. Simply amazing… The place looked surprisingly huge and there had been so many people watching. It seemed a battle was about to unfold… Nodding at the words of the owner Athena nodded softly and thought about something. This was a flat terrain. Miltank was a huge and powerful Pokémon. Maybe she should use someone else then her Torchic this time. Thinking about a possible solution Athena lowered her Sandshrew on the ground and made it walk up on the battle field. The little Sand mouse looked around the Arena. Did she have to harm another person? Still she would carry out her trainers wish. Standing ready for combat he instantly listened to Athena’s following comments.
“San I want you to curl yourself into a ball and start spinning in circles around the Miltank and wait until she takes a action.”
Nodding lightly San curled up into a armored ball and with a swift spin she was away and now rolling around the field waiting for the opponent to react.

OoC: It's fine ^^ Nice strategy! My post is short... xD

Rin smiled. This battle was already interesting. Most people would just start out with an attack, but Athena was thinking on her feet. Yes, this would be an exciting match.
"Alright then, Mel, use Growl!" Rin commanded. With the Sandshrew rolling around her Miltank like that there was less chance of her attack hitting if she used Tackle. But the Growl would echo through the room.
The Miltank opened her mouth and released a loud, yet cute, growling sound. Indeed it did echo, but there was a chance that it would not be heard. A small chance. She tried not to look at the Sandshrew who was circling her, knowing that would only serve to make her dizzy.

The growling attack would indeed prove to be a problem, since the little Torchic beside Athena shivered lightly but her opponent forgotten about something. The Sandshrew herself was rolling and curled up into a ball, the chance the little Sand Mouse would be unable to identify the sound was high since she was rolling around. All the little San could hear was a strange noise before she registered the voice of her trainer
“Here we go San! Try to get behind the Miltank roll up towards her and then make a small loop aimed toward the back of her head.”
She thought this attack would prove to be useful since Sandshrew had a though layer of shells as its hide. Something that would protecting her from the horns. Still Athena would have to start changing her plans soon. The Sandshrew was not yet experienced in combat so it would get dizzy soon. Hence she would need to find the Miltank her weak spots
“Sorry if I hurt you Mel-san…”

Rin grimaced when the Growl didn't effect the Sandshrew, but she had known that it would be taking a chance. Still, Mel didn't have any other moves that would have worked wile the Ground-type was rolling around.
Mel didn't let the fact that her attack didn't do anything phase her. She braced herself, but the Sandshrew moved too fast and she didn't see him get behind her. The blow to the back of her head came as a big surprise.
The force of it knocked her legs from under her. The romm swirled around in her vision, occasionally blacking out. Her head was throbbing and Mel moaned. With difficulty, the Miltank managed to get back to her feet. <No, no... I'm alright. Besides, it IS a battle...> Mel replied.
"Mel, use Tackle," Rin commanded, concern evident in her voice. She had watched as her Miltank fell to the ground, and had to stop herself from running over to Mel.
The Normal-type ran at San, using her whole body as a weapon. Hopefully this attack would connect. If it didn't, then she would likely be in trouble.
