(As the PokeGear clicks on, unbeknownst to the trainer who wields it, Rainbow Dash has kinda gotten used to her body and use of her legs by now and despite the coldness of the day - but not up early in the morning; this is Dash we're talking about - she doesn't totally mind dealing with the weather while trekking to Violet, eager to meet up with her friends.

The girl had stopped briefly in Cherrygrove Monday afternoon for a night's rest and some much-needed items, like some potions to tend to her Pokemon if they got hurt, food for herself since it would take a week before she saw another city and a little more Pokemon food. Yes, potions as well as regular and Pokemon food. The girl does think ahead sometimes. (She also bought a pair of shades to show off her 'coolness' during future Gym battles.)

What was already with her, as in what she'd found in the backpack was the usual essentials a new trainer needed and an extra set of clothes: a jacket, pants, fingerless gloves and a hat. (Rainbow uses the jacket to hide her chest, as per Twilight's request.)

Before getting back on the path, Dash has currently taken up jogging as a way to test out her feet and legs on how fast she is; at the same time, she's trying to perform daring feats of unpredictable skill against nearby trees that she shouldn't have yet as evidenced by the way she wobbles every now and then to try and maintain her balance.

As she tries another fantastic, not-really-planned move she glances down to notice Blaze holding up the 'Gear and suddenly trips before crashing to the ground with a scream.)


...Blaze! Who said you could turn on my 'Gear like that? (She sighs before tugging it from Blaze's hands.)

Sorry about that; obviously Blaze felt like playing and turned it on, eheh. Oh, as long as I'm on...Twilight! I looked at that list and figured out which 5 I like best, but I already know what I'm gonna get.

Usually it's pretty harmless. I know some Pokémon like to talk to each other thise way, but...

[Oh boy. More Blastoise grumbling as Zen waves one of her claws and grins like mad.]

Anyway, you're right on the munny. Zen's the evolved from of Squirtle.

Smart move. The more type coverage you get, the better you'll do in battles. Although...

[He smirks, turning the camera away from Zen (much to her dismay) and over to Flare, who's... currently kicking back with a Lucario.]

Flare, come here for a second.

[Raising an eyebrow, Flare pushes himself away from the wall and wanders over. He and Riku exchange a quiet glance and then, with a snort, Flare raises his fist as a surge of sparks form around it.

An electric attack? You bet.]


Still doesn't hurt to cover all the bases.

Depends on the fire type, but Flare knows rock, grass, electric, ghost, poison, and plenty of other attacks for good measure.

It's just a matter of teaching them.

[Mixed movesets are the best, though. It's thanks to a little Solarbeam action that he nailed Misty's level 100 Quagsire, for one.]

If you can, try scoping out the Move Tutors-- that's how Flare picked up ThunderPunch in the first place. The more type variation a Pokémon has, the better their chances of handling a tight match.

[He places a hand on his hip.]

Especially if you're like me and end up with well over six Pokémon. Since you can't squeeze one of every type on your roster, it's good to prepare for everything this place can throw at you.
