"It's all right - water under the bridge, Washington!" "Yeah, don't sweat it, man! You hit pretty hard - well, unlike me..." The two Pokemon and trainer were having a bit of a walk about the settlement, the cobalt of the night sky giving almost an eerie feeling to the entire area, with only the twinkling stars for company. The Timburr, having decreed himself Washington, would hoist the lumber over his shoulders with a huff, perching it with no effort as he walked beside the others. "Oi, don't sell yourself short," The beaver began, picking up his stride to walk in front of Caesar. "You almost knocked me out, that you did. And with one attack to boot!" He smiled to the chimp, more akin to a smirk in honesty's sake - but the intent was still there. "If that isn't the strength of a warrior, then paint me orange and call me a Magikarp." Butterfly would look down at Caesar, smiling as she ruffled the burnt orange fur. "Yeah, Caesar - you did pretty well for a first battle! So - like you said earlier," She'd begin, a smile forming on her face. "Don't sweat it! You'll get stronger in time, and with that type of strength, there comes wisdom in knowing how to use it." The Chimp pokemon would sigh. "Well, if you both put it like that, then I guess I'm a wiseman...or perhaps - a wisemonkey!" He'd say, a joking grin forming on his face as the other two would let out a sarcastic groan, trailing off into laughter. ENTERING THE TALL GRASS! When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the ~~ATTACK~~ button to weaken it! But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 10% or below, up to 2 players may spend 25 BYTES to catch it here. You may also simply ~~retreat~~ to end the encounter. butterfly

"I was hoping to get some fresh air before I get some sleep. Just...walk around for a bit until my brain gets tired." And wasn't that the truth? Being cooped up in a house that doesn't feel like a home, feeling more and more alone until she booted up the Wii and played a game of Battle Revolution...well, according to the internet, being sedentary can't be good for her health in the long run. But going outside for a quick jog at this hour isn't really a good idea. So walking around in UNOVR was the best solution, at least to her. It was better than going to sleep in utter silence after all. So, she just kept walking, listening to the banter of the two Pokemon beside her, as they talked about whatever came to mind.

A Gothita walked out from an alleyway, looking around before locking eyes with Caesar, immediately getting into a battle stance. A smile crossed Washington's face. Looks like this night got a whole lot more interesting. "Looks like this lady would like a spare - Caesar, you up for it?" The Timburr spoke, turning to the Chimchar as he stepped forward. A smile also crossed the chimp's face as he turned to the Gothita fully, nodding in acknowledgement of the battle. " 'Course I'm up for it!" What's better than a good old fashioned battle to get the blood pumping? Of course, Caesar wasted no time. The battle was on. With no time to spare, he rushed forwards, delivering a powerful punch to the Fixation Pokemon.

The Chimchar slid back, a small smile on his face. Butterfly gave a little smile, before the Gothita walked up and gave a little Pound, causing the snow leopard to chuff a bit in amusement, tiredness more notable on her face. Hopefully this battle ended soon...She gave a yawn. Washington looked a bit concerned. "Hey, you all right, 'Fly?" Butterfly would nod. "Yeah, yeah I'm ok...just need to wake myself up." ((OOC Note: Retreating to heal real fast, Spawn thread is still gonna be active!))

Shaking off the sleep from her tired body as she gave a thumbs up. "I'm good!" Caesar would give a thumbs up towards them before turning his attention back to the fight, giving a quick nod to the Gothita before flames seemingly consumed him as the Chimchar wheeled towards the Psychic type, slamming into them with a huff of air and an audible 'oof'. The Gothita would immediately get up, sending a wave of confusing energy towards Butterfly, who would let out a 'oof' herself. "Hey, nice one!" She said, smiling, opting to praise the opponent for some good ol' fashioned sportsmanship.

Washington would be watching the fight in amusement, a small smile on his face, not saying anything. He appeared to be...waiting for something. But what could he be waiting for? No matter, the battle was still going strong, on both sides to boot. The Gothita appeared to well up its face, before releasing a burst of confusing energy, hitting Butterfly hard, causing her to stagger back. A small smile was on her face, despite the aching.

This was a battle that was...actually amusing to her. It was fun, seeing the strange-looking trainer and her Chimchar battle her. It was fun seeing - no, feeling the Chimchar slam into her with another powerful punch. This battle was making her heart race, adrenaline beat into her form, and she absolutely loved it. It was exhilarating. It felt right. And the Fixation Pokemon found a new connection. The love of battling, sparring, putting your all into a fight, and having someone come out on top.

Two warriors - two people who want to try their best when it comes to a battle - in the middle of a town soothed by the night. The Chimchar nods. The Gothita, sweat pouring down its brow, nods back. Butterfly nods herself. "Caesar! Try a Flame Wheel!" The Chimchar grins as cloaks himself in flames, the two battlers locking eyes, expressions of determination...as one rushes forwards.

The Gothita holds on. Caesar holds on. There's a string of silence, of tension, ready to snap at a moment's notice. Was the hit enough? Or was one more hit needed? In the end, it doesn't matter. Caesar walks over, and holds out a hand, imbued with the power of a strong punch after the clenching of a fist. Gothita looks down at the hand, looks up at the Chimchar... and holds out her own hand. A handshake to end a spar, a match played well by both sides. "Good game, good fight!" The Gothita slumps to the ground, knocked out cold. "We gotta get her on the team! Can she be on the team?" "I agree with Caesar here - that Gothita fought pretty well - she could be an in-stru-men-tal ally if I do say so myself." Butterfly looks at her fellow team members, looks at the Gothita and throws a Pokeball. Someone who showed good sportsmanship always has a spot in the Connection.
