It wasn't long before they ran across a small little pokemon. An Azurill munching on some grass, it was a perfect chance for Blaze to have her first fight. Although she was worried because this pokemon she was sure could use water moves. Kimmy looked at Blaze for a moment, the Tepig nuzzled her nose into the ground giving soft oinks. Kimmy crouched near the new pokemon and pet her on the head. "What do you say to a fight Blaze?" Kimmy asked as the tepig raised her head. She looked at the Azurill and then back to Kimmy with a bit of concern. Though after a few moments of thought she nodded her head.
"Just remember what you watched Max do!" Kimmy stood with her fists clenched as the small Tepig stood tall. She huffed and waited for instructions. "Run in there with a tackle!" She knew the tepig didn't really have any moveset but you had to get somewhere sometime. As the tepig ran forward she slammed herself into the unaware Azurill. Making it fly backwards as it shook its head and glared at the Tepig.
The pokemon ran forward and hit Blaze with a tail whipe. The large ball making Blaze shake her head as Kimmy hoped that this went well. "Tackle again, be aware of surroundings!" Blaze scrambled and took another tackle to the Azurill making the pokemon look a little tired. However it squirted a water gun directly into blaze's face. She was startled being pushed back as she laid down looking at Kimmy. Kimmy clenched her teeth. "It's okay Blaze you can do this! Just keep using Tackle until it's down!" Kimmy said as Blaze shook herself. Yes she had to be strong for Kimmy!
The Azurill was already looking weak anyway, Blaze ran forward and put full force into a tackle. Critically it threw the pokemon back and it fainted. Blaze looked surprised, blinking as Kimmy grinned. "See!" that was a close one though. One more water gun probably would have had Blaze down. Kimmy picked up the tepig and carefully pet her.
TL;DR: Blaze faints Azurill!

Max | Lvl 13 | Inner Focus Bite, Quick Attack, Endure, Counter 2 Energy
Kimmy was overly excited for her new pokemon, Blaze was looking promising already. One thing she could not wait for was the tepig to evolve into the fighting type that she wanted. Carefully putting the tepig down it seemed that she had made Digger a bit jealous. The Shiny stufful walked up to Kimmy and rubbed himself against her leg begging to be picked up. She laughed and held him in her arms, giving him a bit of a knuckle rub on the head. That's when she noticed something coming up out of the water. It seemed a corsola wanted to join them. Kimmy wanted her pokemon to rest for a bit though, as eager as Digger looked to put up a fight the sun was beginning to get lower.
"Let's head onto the bank shall we?" she mentioned as Max also took a look at the Corsola. However Kimmy ushered them back onto the grass moving far away from the corsola. She didn't want the water type messing with Blaze either. The tepig was young and one water type move unlike before could send the tepig flying. So far they'd been doing good. Kimmy didn't want to jinx their good luck if she could so help it.
TL;DR: Kimmy Fled
Digger | Lvl 15 | Fluffy Tackle, Leer, Bide 4 Energy
Max | Lvl 13 | Inner Focus Bite, Quick Attack, Endure, Counter 2 Energy
Kimmy gentle put Blaze down on the grassy hilltop as they looked over at the ocean. It was then that she noticed something amazing in the grass. Away from the shore it seemed the grab type pokemon was munching on grass with its claws. The Crabrawler was like a shiny gold coin in the middle of a haystack to her. A fighting type had finally come across her path and it made her eagerly excited. Max looked at Kimmy and then back to the pokemon, pulling himself into a fighting stance as Kimmy patted him on the head. "No, No. Not this time Max, let's do this the civil way." there was a chance however that this could go horribly wrong. So she certainly just hoped if the pokemon didn't catch that it would stick around for a little while longer.
Kimmy told her pokemon to stay back as she began to crouch and crawl closer and closer to the wild pokemon. The Crabrawler noticed her and he didn't seem too happy. He pulled his fists up and pointed them in a defensive position towards the girl. As Kimmy laughed she flexed her muscles too, confusing the pokemon as his eyes moved to inspect her. "Not too bad is it? I'm not here to hurt you." she stated as she sat down and planted her hands between her legs as she crossed them. The Crabrawler was cautious moving closer, looking at Kimmy as he made an inspection.
"I'm a traveller you see and I love fighting types! Your claws are amazing." she stated as the Crabrawler scuttled in front of her. He seemed bashful, throwing a claw out and pushing it against himself as if to say 'what me? no' Kimmy laughed at this reaction. "I's like to recruit you to be a part of my team. We're small at the moment but." she pointed back to where Digger and the others watched on ready to protect Kimmy if the chance came. The Crabrawler almost looked impressed, with his kind nature in mind he really didn't mind. It had been lonely out here eating on his own.
"Well if you'd like, I'll leave this here." she placed a pokeball on the ground. Not telling him what he was getting into was probably a bad idea. However she was a lover of fighting types and the Crabrawler had to admit that he'd fallen in love since she flexed and admired his own large claws. Maybe with her he'd be able to grow stronger! He wouldn't be picked on anymore. The wild pokemon crawled forward and tapped his claw against the ball, being sucked inside as Kimmy patiently waited to see if the catch would be succesful. Hopefully nothing she had said to the poor crab had offended it.
TL;DR: Kimmy tried to befriend Crabrawler, she uses a pokeball!
Digger | Lvl 15 | Fluffy Tackle, Leer, Bide 4 Energy
Max | Lvl 13 | Inner Focus Bite, Quick Attack, Endure, Counter 2 Energy
Kimmy growled in frustration, but it seemed like the Crabrawler wasn't at fault. It was a faulty ball it seemed and she was okay with that. Carefully she looked over at Digger as he returend the glance over to his trainer. He nodded his head and quickly sized up the pokemon, the shiny stufful giving out a cry as a challenge. If they couldn't win him over with friendship than a battle would be the decider. The Crabrawler nodded its head and then got into position. As Digger shot a leer at the pokemon the opponent shot a bubble at him. Digger felt the sting of the bubble and shook it off as Kimmy looked at Digger. "Alright good job with the leer now use Tackle!" she ordered as the shiny stufful threw himself at the crabrawler.
The pokemon was taken a back by the powerful tackle but he wasn't about to give up either. Using Rock Smash the rock hit over Digger's head. Making the pokemon dizzy for a few moment before Kimmy gritted her teeth, "Tackle one more time!" she said as she began to get a pokeball ready. Her other pokemon watched on in awe as the Crabrawler was hit by the tackle using Leer on the shiny fluffy bear. As Kimmy then took the pokeball and threw it directly at the pokemon. Sucking it inside she silently hoped that the Crabrawler would catch this time, otherwise she was going to be sorely dissapointed.
TL;DR: Digger injured Crabrawler, kimmy threw a pokeball
Digger | Lvl 15 | Fluffy Tackle, Leer, Bide 4 Energy
Max | Lvl 13 | Inner Focus Bite, Quick Attack, Endure, Counter 2 Energy
It broke her pokeball for the second time! Kimmy frustratingly started to yell, clenching her fists she gritted her teeth and slammed her foot down. This pokemon was getting more and more annoying. Why didn't it want to catch? Or were her pokeballs just that defective. The Crabrawler seemed to be getting grumpy as well, throwing an angry bubble attack at Digger. Digger was taken back by the bubble, standing on his hind legs and letting out a roar. Kimmy locked her fists together and looked at her shiny companion nodding her head. "Alright Digger use Leer!" Kimmy clenched her fists. Then turned to pull yet another pokeball from her bag, this was the last chance if the pokemon didn't run away than she didn't know if her patience could go on any longer. As the Crabrawler used a Leer back onto the shiny pokemon Kimmy got ready. "Use Tackle!" she ordered as Digger ran forward and tackled the crab.
Thrown back the beaten up crab threw another bubble attack at the stufful. Making Digger pant as he looked close to his limit. Kimmy drew back the pokeball and chucked it at the crabrawler. Watching its face grimace as a final time he was pulled into the ball. The red glow vanished as it thumped onto the ground. Kimmy ran forward this time, getting as close to the pokeball as possible. She clenched her fist, silently hoping that this would finally be her good luck shot.
TL;DR: Digger injured Crabrawler, kimmy threw a pokeball one more time!
Digger | Lvl 15 | Fluffy Tackle, Leer, Bide 3 Energy
Max | Lvl 13 | Inner Focus Bite, Quick Attack, Endure, Counter 2 Energy
Finally the pokeball made a clicking noise and the pokemon was caught. Kimmy jumped up in delight, she had worked so hard! Digger too seemed more than excited as the stufful span around in a quick circle. Smiling at Kimmy as she moved over to the pokeball to pick it up and store it. She took in a deep breath and picked up Digger the shiny stufful giving off a cute noise as she did. Max and Blaze looked just as excited looking up at their trainer. Practically the two of them begging to know what they were going to do next. "Well let the adventure continue guys we still have a lot of ground to cover!" She was still more than ready to go. Not to mention Max and Blaze too, they both looked ready for a fight and training for the two of them was important.
"This way!" Kimmy pointed against the beach and the pokemon along with her began to walk along it. She was left wondering what she would run into next and all the more excited to go on training with her companions.
It didn't take long for Kimmy to run into another trainer. She stopped in her tracks, as Digger and Max looked up to her and then back to the Lass. She had two pokeballs holstered to her side. For a quick moment Kimmy debated actually swiping them. However she was not a high enough level to be worrying about that right now. She needed to get stronger. Kimmy also didn't know what sort of pokemon they were, she didn't want to be swiping something that just wasn't worth the trouble.
Kimmy decided it would be a good idea to challenge her to a battle. So she ran in front of the Lass, her fists clenched as she made eye contact with her. "Classic!" the lass said as she pointed to Kimmy. "Our eyes have met so we have to battle! My name's Ember." Ember was smiling at Digger and Max. Though it made Kimmy worry how she was looking at Digger in the manner that she was. Kimmy grinned, "Alright then I'm game!" she announced of course and watched as Ember let out a Comfey that was why she had that expression. Fighting types didn't do very well against fairy. Well Max was also a steel type so she would have to use that to her advantage.
"Alright Max it's your turn to go." Kimmy let him know and the pokemon already was zooming forward towards his opponent. "Use Quick Attack to start!" Kimmy encouraged the Riolu as the pokemon quickly darted back and forth. Hitting the Comfey as the pokemon went stumbling back. It wasn't long though before the pokemon was letting out a Vine whip attack like it was told. Digging up Max in it as he was thrown back in the vines. He pushed himself back up though as Kimmy clenched her fists, punching one out in determination. "Hit it with a Bite!" Max zoomed forward and bit onto the lei of flowers. The pokemon broke for a moment as it tried to recoil. As the pokemon let out a draining kiss, it really hit Max hard.
He looked tired but so did the Comfey. "Alright Max, another Quick attack and watch out for that draining kiss." after all it had taken some of his HP. Max quickly shot forward, a well placed kick on his end made the Comfey lose ground. It did indeed attempt another draining kiss but Max was prepared. He jumped off to the side as Kimmy looked at him and gave a firm nod. "Bite!" Max moved forward and bit into the pokemon. Causing it to faint as Ember was forced to draw the pokemon back.
"You won't have such an easy time with my Whimiscott!" She stated, throwing out her second pokemon. Kimmy bit into her lip, as the pokemon let out a Gust, knocking Max off of his feet. "Quick Attack Max!" This pokemon was much stronger than the last one and Max was already tired. Even as the Quick attack hit its mark the pokemon shook it off. Using Growth though, Kimmy took the chance for one more well placed hit. "Now Bite one more time Max!" the tired pokemon bit into the opponent. As the Whimsicott released a razor leaf, Max was done for. The riolu fainting as Kimmy frowned, calling him back to his pokeball as she looked at Digger.
"I know you aren't strong against fairy types but now's the time Digger, one more battle." now with Max out of the picture she wanted to head back into town as quickly as possible. "Use Leer Digger." The shiny stufful sent the leer right at his opponent. The Whimsicott was not very impressed, using Razor leaf on the shiny stufful as he shook off the move. This pokemon was seriously powerful, since Max injured it though Kimmy was hoping they could end this soon. "Hit it with a Tackle!" Digger went flying forward and forced the pokemon back.
However the trainer was quick as the Whimsicott used Mega drain, gaining back some of its health as it took Diggers. "Digger another Leer!" he already was starting to look tired. As the leer hit the opponent the Whimsicott sent out another Gust but Digger endured. "Alright now brutal swing and give it all you've got." Kimmy knew it was a fighting type move but she was hoping it would still decide the battle! With the pokemon tired, she watched as Digger flailed his arms directly into the Whimsicott. The pokemon fainted, retreating as Kimmy moved forward to pick up Digger who looked almost ready to faint as well.
"What a close fight." Ember stated holding her two pokeballs as she had recalled the other. Kimmy smiled, "Yeah... I suppose I best be getting a pokemon center." the trainer nodded as Blaze looked up at Kimmy with concern. They all needed some rest anyway.
TL;DR: Max faints the Comfey! Injures Whimsicott before fainting. Digger faints Whimsicott! End of thread!
