[&] Fear the Kiss of Mars!

[Rhythm]

Moze walked up to the Gym building. She looked at it for a moment, collecting herself. She then took a deep breath, and let it out in a whoosh. She closed her eyes for a mere moment, then stepped forward and pushed the doors opened.

Once inside, Moze looked around. "This... scenery, or habitat, or whatever, shouldn't prove to be too much of a problem." She said softly to herself. She then looked around for the Gym leader. "Hello?" It was half asked, half said. "I'm here to challenge Jesterfeild's Gym Leader..." She forced her voice to sound firm and sure.

Moze's left hand rested on a pokeball containing one of her beloved pokemon. She already had sort of a battle plan mapped out in her mind, though it probably wouldn't do her too much good, other than save her time in the beginning.

Alyssa had been sitting at the other end of the gym, on the boulder. When Moze entered, she slowly stood up. "Hello." She said, sounding both cheerful and serious, if that's possible. "I'm the Gym Leader of Jesterfeild... so... let's start, then?" She seemed excited to be battling somebody.

Alyssa pulled a pokeball from her belt and released the pokemon inside. "Let's start out with Bobble!" She exclaimed. Her Marill appeared in a flash of red light. "Marill, marill." He said. He didn't appear to be saying anything in particular.

[Rhythm]

Moze nodded. She banished all of her nervousness and took the pokeball that her hand had been resting on. "Go, Mars!" She exclaimed in the same tone that Alyssa had used. "Okay, Mars. Let's get this party started! Use Peck- let's start out aggressive." She ordered. Mars nodded and took to the air, circling above the Marill for just a moment, before diving down and attempting to use Peck.

Bobble was not expecting the attack. He was hit with the Peck. <No!> He shouted in protest, pouting. "Okay, Bobble. Use Water Gun! Let's start aggressive, as well. Just for now." Alyssa said. Bobble nodded and eagerly shot a Water Gun at his opponent. <Fwa!>

[Rhythm]

Mars barely saw the attack coming, and didn't have enough time to dodge; therefore, he was hit by the Water Gun. He cawed angrily, then darted town with another Peck attack. He figured he could use any attack, as long as it was an aggressive attack.

Words couldn't describe how nervous Moze was now that the battle had already started. Truth the told, her pokemon hadn't been in too many battles. It was more training and the occasional Rare Candy that boosted their levels. She told herself that she would let her pokemon have more battle experience before the next Gym battle.

[<3 Janessa <3]

This time, Bobble managed to dodge by jumping into the water. His tail bobbed as the surface. "Bobble! Bobble, get out of there." Alyssa said. Bobble didn't hear, though. "Bobble..." Alyssa called.

[Rhythm]

Mars instinctively went after Bobble into the water, but soon resurfaced, scowling angrily. <I don't like water.> He said, now grumpy. He then noticed Bobble's tail, and took the the air, then came down and tried to Peck at Bobble's bobbling tail.

[<3 Janessa <3]

The Peck hit. Bobble immidiately sprung from the water. <Eeeck!> He screeched. Scowling, he shot up another Water Gun at his airborn opponent. <I'm get you...> He shouted angrily. He swam to land, and scrambled onto the dirt.

[Rhythm]

Again, Mars was suprised by the quickness of the attack; therefore, he was hit. <Blast it all.> He mumbled. He circled Bobble like a hawk circling it's prey as he thought of what to do.

Moze saw that Mars needed some assistance. "Okay, Mars. Let's focus on cleverness and creativity. Maybe speed, to." She suggested. Mars nodded.

Mars made to land on a huge boulder. He acted tired, breathing loudly. Then he suddenly sprang forward with a Peck attack, then weaved through the boulders to escape. He hid behind one particularly large boulder.
