Setting off...

[kitteh]

Caiden walked down the path happily. Finally onto their first gym. Caiden was really caring so much about that. He wanted to raise and breed pokemon, not battle so much. "Dai, if we do end up taking on the gym leader, we'll need you espically. So let's keep training you a lot. Ral, you also. You'd have a pretty good chance if you get your level up. You're bound to level up soon after that last battle." Caiden turned to Sadi and Nicco. Yeah, he was going to have to use them. Their attacks wouldn't effect much, but didn't that mean the Gym leader's wouldn't either?

"Dai vs. Kenji." Caiden annouced as the they all stopped. Dai smirked. He had been waiting for this. He circled above Kenji for a little bit to taunt him, ready to attack.

Caiden turned to Ral, Sadi, and Nicco. "You three keep watch incase any wild pokemon come along."

[kitteh]

Kenji attacked before giving Dai a chance. He lept up into the air and body-slammed Dai down to the ground. Pinning Dai down with ease. Dai began to peck at Kenji agrily. Kenji winced and fell back. He sat back up and began to run circles around Dai. Finally he lept at him with Bite.

~OW!~ Dai shouted as he felt teeth sink into him. Dai began to flap his wings angrily and took off into the air. He dove down and hit Kenji with peck, a direct hit. Kenji staggered to get up, but managed. He shook it off and used body-slam once again, forcing Dai down to the ground.

[Xeni]

((Just a little more, and I'll level up one of your Pokemon.))

[kitteh]

~RRrrr..~ Dai moaned knocking Kenji away with his wings. He used peck again, but using it twice. Kenji managed to dodge the first one, but was knocked down with the second. He ran behind Dai quickly. He jumped onto Dai's back with Body Slam. Dai instantly flew up into the air with Kenji on his back. He flipped a few times in the air, as Kenji fell off. Dai instantly noticed his mistake, he had been quite aways up. He dove down, underneath Kenji and caught him before he hit.

~Now I wouldn't want anthing to happen to ya's would I?~ Dai said with a smirk. Once he got close enough to the ground he dropped Kenji. Kenji landed hard but instantly got back up.

~Gimme your best shot!~ He said now smirking. Dai flew at Kenji in top speed. Just about to peck. Kenji jumped up at the last moment and came crashing down ontop of Dai with Body Slam. ~That was your best? PA-THETIC!~

[Xeni]

((One bit of a post more will do it. Sorry. X-x Doesn't have to be a long post.))

[kitteh]

Dai was getting much weaker now. He ran at Kenji with peck. Since he was so slow and weak, Kenji almost dodged it, still gettting hit slightly. Kenji growled at ran at Dai with body Slam.

"DON'T MAKE HIM FAINT!" Caiden cried out warning the two. Kenji lessened his speed and knocked into Dai with less force. Dai was easily forced to the ground. He looked up weakly but knew Kenji had won. Dai hopped over to Caiden with big eyes.

"Alright." Caiden sighed. He took out a potion and healed Dai, although since it was only a potion, Dai wasn't totally healed. But Dai wasn't that high leveled so it came pretty close.

[Xeni]

Kenji gained a level!

Daisuke gained a level!

((Okay, I think I got the right Pokemon. XD Your post confused me on who did what. Sorry...

edit: Yes, I messed up AGAIN. Ugh. This is not my day. Both Pokemon, during their training, leveled up. That just makes it easier. They worked hard. There...*is embarassed*. Ugh...))

[kitteh]

"New attack eh?" Caiden said looking at his pokedex. Dai looked up cheerfully. He did feel a bit stronger. "Well, you can test it out later. Right now it is Kenji vs. Ral!" Caiden set his backpack down and walked over to Ralaran.

"Come on bud, you can do this. He's weak right now, just focus!" Caiden said giving Ral a short pep talk. "Let's start!" Caiden shouted.

Ral dug his claws into the ground, giving him a rock hard pose. He knew that Kenji would attack first, just like always. Ral readied himself. Clearing his mind of everything. Just concentrating on Kenji.

[Xeni]

((I'm very sorry if I made a mistake on leveling up the wrong Pokemon. I've been busy today, too, and that's been making me rush, not paying too much attention to what you posted, and such. ))

[kitteh]

Kenji attacked quickly with Ember. Of course never using it before, it wasn't very strong at all. He barely produced anything infact. Ral smirked, barely getting hurt. Ralaran imediatly tackled Kenji and actually hit him hard.

Kenji had fallen to the ground, so Ral used another Tackle, once again hitting on target. Kenji was actually begining to get weak.

[kitteh]

Kenji forced a smile, in a way he was letting Ral win. Sure it wasn't the smartest thing, but it would help Ralaran train. Kenji used a very weak bite. Ral almost dodged, but was a little short. He tackled into Kenji. Kenji collapsed and struggled to get back up. Ralaran used tackle again. HE WON! Kenji was very low. He struggled over to Caiden and received his potion, healing him.

"Dai vs. Sadi!" Caiden said as he revived Kenji. Both Dai and Sadi took their places and started the battle.

[kitteh]

Dai grinned as Sadi attacked first. Sadi used bubble. It hit Dai, but it wasn't that strong. Dai swooped down at Sadi and used peck, hitting her quite hard. Sadi fell down and winced as she got up. She ran at him angrily and used bubble. She was close enough that it wouldn't miss and it would hit hard. Dai tried to fly away, but it only made it worse. He fell down to the ground, but before Sadi could attack again, he used peck.

~Ugh~ Sadi moaned as she collapsed. She was getting weaker and weaker quickly. She used quick attack, but it wasn't all that effective since Dai had flown up a little bit. Dai used peck again, this time Sadi collapsed and didn't get back up. She wobbled over to Caiden and snuggled against him. She wasn't all that weak since she had given in before she hit critical.

Ralaran gained a level!

[kitteh]

"Dai and Nicco!" Caiden said, Sadi cuddling in his lap.

Dai started things out with peck. Nicco dodged but tripped, giving Dai the perfect opportunity to use peck again, in which he did. Nicco took it as a direct hit, losing health fast. Nicco used tackle only slightly hitting Dai. Dai used peck again. Nicco got hit again and collapsed. Right about then he gave up. He didn't wish to lose too much health.

"Well that's enough training for a bit, let's get going," Caiden said returning Nicco and Sadi. He picked up Ralaran as Kenji jumped into his hood. Dai flew above. They began to walk down the route.

[<3 Janessa <3]

It seemed rather quiet. Nothing seemed particularly interesting. A few bird's crowing could be heard from the distance, and occasionally a pokemon cried or shouted out it's species name.

[kitteh]

"Dai, go ahead." Caiden said motioning for Daisuke to fly ahead to see what was off in the distance and how far they would have to travel. Kenji lifted his head slightly. Everything was truly quiet. Something that made him feel vunerable, something he did not enjoy.

[<3 Janessa <3]

They didn't have to travel much farther in order to reach the next town. Nothing happened.

[kitteh]

Dai flew back quickly and chirpped happily, as if saying 'not far'. Somehow this got Caiden pumped. He began to run down the rest of the route. Kenji bouncing around in his hood, and Ralaran now running besides him.
