Different First Steps
"Wow, this is... so unlike Konohagakure."
Leon stood on the outskirts of Route 1, wondering how a beaten-up, overgrown road could be so close to a well-kept paradise of a town. Pepper didn't seem to mind as much--she happily bounded around the weeds, soaking in the sun.
"Hey Pepper, you don't mind this, do you?" The Petilil hopped a bit in response, and went back to exploring the overgrown plants building up around a fallen fence.
"Course not. Hey, come here for a sec." Leon reached over and plucked his new Pokemon up, and tickled her lightly.
"I know you're young," he said, "but how would you like to learn how to battle? I think it'll help you get big and strong, and you can have some fun too, I think."
Pepper seemed to like the idea, as she happily showed off her growth attack. The leaves on her head glowed with energy.
"That's great! Let's see if we can find a trainer or a Pokemon..."

Re: Different First Steps
Alla was checking her surroundings for the billionth time for pokemon. "STOP IT! I gotta be brave. I can do... HOLY CRUD A PATILL!" Alla hid behind a little tall grass and saw that it was with a trainer. Only when the pokemon was in the trainer's arms did she come out and speak. "H-hey there. You a trainer too? M-Melona and I just started too." The Drowzee she was referring too was in her ball, so there was no way Leon would know who/what Melona was.

Re: Different First Steps
Lillia quietly walked down the beat up road, deciding to train, make up appeals and maybe find a new friend. Lumina bobbed up and down, obviously enjoying her newfound freedom. Suddenly the Solosis raced ahead, excited about something Lillia couldn't see. "Lumina! Slow down!" She yelled, before running after her partner. As quickly as she began, Lillia stopped. There where two people, one which seemed to be scared, and the other one held a green blob which upon closer inspection, was a Petill. "Um....hello." She mumbled. Lillia was intrested about the Petill, but was slightly wary about all the people around.
(It's intresting....Alla and Lillia are opposites in a way. Alla is afraid of Pokemon, while in a sense, Lillia is afraid of Humans.)

Re: Different First Steps
"Well, that was easy!" Leon quietly told Pepper, turning to face the first girl that approached him. "Hello! Yes! I am a new trainer. I'm Leon, and this is Pepper, my new partner. C'mon girl, say hello to the nice trainer!"
The grass-type chirped, drawing more energy from the sun. Pepper's head-leaves continued to glow as she happily bounced up and down.
"Oh, I meant trainers! I guess this route is popular today. Are you here for your first few steps on the road too?"
Pepper began to hyperactively bounce in place, eventually leaping out of Leon's hands and circling him in excitement.

Re: Different First Steps
Lumina had come close to Alla, so she reacted in the natural way, for her, to the pokemon. She found the nearest tree and hid from sight. "C-c-could you have your pokemon keep their distance? I have a small case of Pokephobia. I g-get nervous around them if t-too close..." "Great, first person met and I freak out. This idea was sooooo swell..."

Re: Different First Steps
Lillia looked at Alla, before nodding and calling Lumina to come closer to her. The Solosis looked confusedly at her trainer but retreated to a closer distance. Lillia reached up to pet Lumina and quietly spoke, "It's alright...I'm Lillia, and this is Lumina...But I'm not exactly a trainer." She corrected, "I want to be a coordinator...." Lillia mumbled the last part. "I came here to train but....not much to train to. And I only...came up with one idea..." She told the two. Lillia smiled slightly at Pepper.

Re: Different First Steps
Pepper paused her prancing, and scooted up to Lillia immediately. She happily wiggled and danced for the solosis, trying it's hardest to make a new friend.
Leon, in the meantime, turned to Alla.
"Poke-phobia, huh? Well, you are a trainer. I can see how that could be a problem... do you happen to have a pokemon yet?"
He looked back at Pepper, who was now acting rather silly. He gave her a knowing smile, and she backed up to him bashfully.
"Lillia? Would you and Lumina be available for a small battle against me? I think it might be good to show Alla here that she doesn't have anything to be afraid of." Pepper perked up and shook her head back and forth, in an effort to make some sound.
"See, Alla, why don't you and your pokemon watch a battle? It might give you and your partner something to talk about, and maybe become friends over?"

Re: Different First Steps
Alla peaked out and bit her bottom lip. "I watched battles all the time back before... back then. Maybe it would help... and Melona could use time out." "Okay, c-come out Melona." Alla tossed out the Drowzee and Melona stood with Alla... at the closest comfortable distance. Melona would allow Alla to overcome her fear at her own pace.

Re: Different First Steps
Lumina giggled, and floated around the Petill, and seemed to be slightly sad when Pepper went back to Leon. Lumina flew back to her trainer, wondering what was going to happen next.
Lillia nodded, "I don't see why not...I was planing on training Lumina as well...Maybe I could attempt to use this combo I planed on...." She mumbled. It wasn't really a combo, just spin with Psywave. It might look pretty, the multicolored lights spining around, and also be very hard to miss....it was worth a shot. She redirected her gaze to Melona, a Drowzee, and nodded. She would try to get rid of this person's fear of pokemon...hopefully.

Re: Different First Steps
"Thanks, Lillia. You seem to get along well with your pokemon. Let's see how well they can battle, though!"
"You wanna try taking on that Solosis, Pep?" Leon whispered to Pepper. She wiggled a bit, and squatted in determination in front of him.
"That's great! I promise you, we'll do well. Oh, but play nice! We want to show the girl over there that there's nothing to be afraid of!" Leon turned his head to Melona the drowzee, taking care to notice that it seemed as wary of Alla as Alla seemed to it!
"Pepper, use growth!"
Pepper, still energized from the sun, began to charge even more power in through her leaves. It wasn't a particularly sunny day, but there was more than enough to put some vigor in her bounces. Fully charged, the Petilil watched for it's opponent's first move...

Re: Different First Steps
Alla watched the battle and found herself making several observations based on what she learned during her... earlier years. "Petilil and Solosis... neither has a type advantage. Petilil usually has an Absorb attack while Solosis has Psywave. Absorb is a weak attack, but it heals the user. Psywave has an equal chance of being strong or weak. All in all, either could win, depending on the power of those Psywave attacks..."

Re: Different First Steps
Lillia noted the fact that Pepper used three Growth attacks, quadrupling the Special and Physical Attack of the Petilil. Combine that with an absorb, that could slowly win the game...It's a good thing that Lumina has such a high Special Defense, if it was any lower, then it could almost knock her out She thought, then spoke. "Lumina! Float higher, straight above Pepper....then use Psywave." Lillia didn't feel safe using the newly thought up move, she'll save it for when it was the last option she had.
Lumina easily flew up higher, and looked down. The round shape almost made an eclipse-like shadow over the Petilil. A bit more light leaked through, but it seemed almost blinding. The Solosis shook the thought out of her head, and unleashed Psywave, the multicolored wave spread out attempting to hit Pepper.

Re: Different First Steps
Pepper's leaves began to flutter as the malicious wave spread about her. The psywave compressed her little leafy brain, causing her to squint in pain.
"Pepper, you gotta use Absorb attack!" Leon shouted. Pepper squeaked in anguish.
"Don't worry, it'll heal you right back. Go ahead, use absorb!"
With little else to do, the petilil raised the tender leaves on the top of her head, readying a boosted absorb attack.

Re: Different First Steps
"Lumina definitely had a powerful Psywave attack, obviously from the look on Pepper's face. That little grass type doesn't look like she has a strong enough will to weather too many attacks like that. his battle may end quicker than I thought if Pepper doesn't step it up." Alla was so into the battle that her nervousness was temporarily forgotten. She was remembering the feeling of excitement she got with pokemon, how they always made her happy. She wasn't really dwelling on her fear right now. she was too interested in the battle.

Re: Different First Steps
"Lumina! Dodge, then try using Psywave again!" Lillia yelled, loosening up a bit in the mist of the battle. When she battled, or did a contest appeal, the adrenaline seemed to stop herself from wavering, and she would seem to not realize that there was an opposite person on the side of the field.
The Solosis, quickly moved out of the way of the leaves, and fired off another Psywave, but this one seemed weaker than before. Lumina knew that sometimes it was strong and sometimes it was weak, but the disappointment was slightly overwhelming.

Re: Different First Steps
As the Solosis spun away from Pepper, the little seedling had no time to dodge. She took the psychic hit and flinched for a moment--this one felt less intense than the previous, but did nothing to relieve the pounding headache.
Leon noticed that his pokemon was taking a real mental beating, and knew he'd have to be a bit clearer when shouting orders.
"Pepper, jump on top of Lumina and use an absorb from above!" If only he could get the solosis trapped, he could use repeated absorbs to win the battle. Pepper leaped at mid-height with just a bit of a momentum--not enough to damage, but certainly enough to corner.

Re: Different First Steps
Lumina cried, and frantically flew around trying to shake the Petill off. Lillia bit her lip, some quick thinking would have to save Lumina...she couldn't attack from above, and if she turned to face Pepper, she would simply move a bit away from the wave. Suddenly the mini combination she planned flashed into her mind. Could it actually work? she wondered, but shook her head, she had to try it now anyways. "Lumina....Spin then use Psywave!....make sure that you're on your side first though..." Lillia mumbled determindly.
Lumina was perplexed, why in the world will spinning help get Pepper off? But she followed her trainer's command, and spun around before emitting off a particularly strong Psywave. A multicolored wave spun around, making a sort of disc-like thing in the air, flashing off colors. Finally the command made sense. It would give the Petill a choice, stay on and try to Absorb, or jump off. Then again, by the doubtfulness, it was most likely something by chance.

Re: Different First Steps
"Pepper! Jump off, before it's too late!" Leon yelled. Pepper obeyed and canceled the attack, but wasn't quite swift enough to dodge. The swirling colors slammed into the Petilil's forehead, sending it reeling towards Leon's feet.
"Piiiiit," Pepper moaned. Leon knelt beside his pokemon, who seemed a bit frayed.
"Hey Pep, you think you can still go on?" the trainer asked, without a hint of expectation in his voice. Pepper paused for a second, and hopped back, right-side up.
"Alright, let's go for one last absorb! Let's just rush in and get in a quick one!" Pepper scurried forward, charging her absorb attack.

Re: Different First Steps
Lumina quickly attempted to dodge, but this time, she wasn't fast enough. "Sis..." She mumbled as she felt the energy being drained out of her. Finally when the connection broke, she felt a bit woozy.
Lillia watched as her Pokemon slowly feel a bit worse, but then looked at the Pokedex. Surprised she looked at it again. It still showed that Lumina learned a new move, "Rollout." Suddenly an image formed into her head, the spinning disc from before. What if I combined it with Rollout? Lillia wondered, but then decided to test it out, "Lumina! Use Spin with Psywave... then Rollout!"
Lumina now a bit more trusting in her trainer, followed what she said, then spun releasing the multicolored wave again (It seemed to flicker a bit), and then suddenly spun even faster, attempting to ram into Pepper. In a way, it looked like a comet, the rainbow waves slightly spread at the speed, making a sort of tail looking thing.

Re: Different First Steps
"Pepper, get out of the way!"
Even with her restored strength, Pepper couldn't manage a dodge from Lumina's combination attack. As she turned to avoid it, Lumina's physical and special assualt crashed into her back, sending the poor Petilil soaring across the battlefield. Leon, sensing a rough landing, dove for his pokemon and caught Pepper in his arms to soften the blow. His light pokemon barely pushed him, and he landed with ease.
"You okay, Pep?" he asked. Pepper was definitely K.O.'d, but with some sun and a snack, she'd be back to bouncing around in no time. The young pokemon woozily gazed at the battle with a bit of disappointment, but also determination.
"Nice job, Lillia! That was really fun!" Leon said, standing up. "And that was an incredible combo you came up with there!"

Re: Different First Steps
Lillian watched a bit awestruck at the combo that she made, but shook her head and smiled weakly, "Thanks....Pepper did amazing to...The growth helped the absorb attack very well...oh....So um Alla, how are you feeling?" she asked a bit less confident than before.
Lumina blinked, but then quickly flocked over to her friend chattering worriedly. She hoped that she didn't hurt Pepper to badly.

Re: Different First Steps
Alla had actually had a lot of fun watching the battle. It had been so long since she had seen her last that she had just about forgotten how fun they could be. "W-well it was definitely exciting to watch and I enjoyed it." Alla thought a little bit. "Maybe I should try to do a battle myself. It may help..."

Re: Different First Steps
"Well, why don't you take the winner? I've got supplies enough to heal up everybody, and I'm sure Pepper wants to take a bit of a break"
Leon sat on the grass cross-legged, placing Pepper gently into his lap. He wiggled his arms out of his backpack and moved it in front of him, displaying a plethora of--nothing. He did have plenty of pokemon edibles--mostly berries and trail mixes, but nothing to help after a battle. The tiny plant pokemon nudged Leon's hands to get at the snacks faster, causing her to (harmlessly) lose a leaf on her forehead.
(Leon knew, of course, that Petilil shed and regrow leaves often--in addition, the tart herbs have refreshing properties.)
"Or not. Hmph. Well, Peps and Lumina, why don't you have a snack and rest up first? Alla, why don't you have a snack with your drowzee first?"

Re: Different First Steps
Lilla nodded, sitting down. "It's alright I guess..." She mumbled as Lumina flew around happily towards Leon, used some of her psychicness(idk how to explain it without being an attack XD) to grab some food from him before hiding in his bag, closing the top over her. Lillia frowned but it was clear she was amused, "Lumina...aren't you going to leave some of the food for Pepper and Melona?" Se quietly scolded. A sullen blue psywave sent out most of the food that she took, but still she stayed inside the bag.

Re: Different First Steps
"Well acually Drowzee do not eat normal food. Drowzee's diet consist completely of the dreams of humans and pokemon which they take in through thier extended snouts. A child's dream will feed them for weeks if its a good dream." Alla sat a little away from the others, but reasonably close. She reached in her own bag to pull out honey buns she made before leaving. Melona sat to the side of her, Alla controlling herself and not shaking from nervousness.
