The first new steps of life.

[DaeSiggil]

The Natu Deamon froze as first, the woman soon following as she closed her eyes Another? The Natu spoke, questionly as Lilly turned. They both saw the form of a pokemon they hadn't seen before. Her eyes narrowed and Lith mewled a 'hello' to the wild pokemon. He ignored the narrowed eyes and threated it just like he would do with one of Lilly's pokemon. The sound send chills over Lilly's back, she didn't know if she found it pretty or annoying, both where fighting each other fiercely for the first place in her mind.

She lowered her arms, the Skitty jumping back on the ground. The bird followed the kitten on the ground and shook himself and the tiny feathers on his back raised, a clear warning for the Chingling. She ignored Silas reaction and stepped toward the pokemon, a single eyebrow raising.

[Birdybot]

Chingling watched as the human approached, bobbing backwards in the air a little. Oh... what was the human doing? The Pokémon shuddered, sending out a pealing tinkling sound. However, this bell's ring was more in a minor key. Chingling was uncomfortable being so close. It eyed them nervously. The human wanted to fight, the Natu daemon was giving her a warning, and the Skitty... well, it didn't worry about the Skitty. It was the reaction of the trainer which it knew mattered.

Chingling saw that they wanted to fight. Well, there was one thing to do. It shook itself, making a very loud clanging of bells to warn others of it's species. Sure enough, the answering clangs grew fainter. Chingling then turned to Lilly. It did the only thing it saw to do at that perticular moment, and stuck it's tongue out, blowing a long, loud raspberry.

[DaeSiggil]

Lilly hadn't expected such an answer, her eyes narrowed sharply and she growled softly "Lith, use tackle at that.." She didn't finish her sentence and instead bit her lip sharply. The Skitty didn't hesitate however and ran forwards, already getting used to his trainer's orders. Lilly smiled, the Natu just watching worriedly at his other half, worried that she maybe would snap again. He hopped closer to her as a result, feathers on his back still raised.

The Skitty narrowed his eyes and made a slow growling sound, still quite tired of the previous fight. He didn't want to disappoint his trainer, she seemed like someone that didn't accept that a team member would fail and would punish him for it. She was indeed someone that couldn't really accept failing, but she wouldn't out her frustration on something weaker than her.

[Birdybot]

Chingling looked confused at the angry expression on Lilly's face. Woah, she was angry just after one weensy playful raspberry? Wow, this trainer had issues. She should take anger management classes. The Psychic type bell Pokémon was startled to see that the girl had actually started a battle over it. The Natu who it assumed was her daemon didn't look too impressed, either. Well, a battle was a battle and a battle was what it wanted, so it couldn't complain, really.

Chingling watched carefull as the Tackle came towards her. The Skitty seemed tired, not his strongest, but not weak either. It was a pretty even match, levels making up for tiredness, in Chingling's opinion. The bell quickly intestified her levitation ability, making her float higher. When the Tackle went underneath her, she reached down with one of the ribbons on her head, intending to grab the Skitty in a Wrap.

[DaeSiggil]

Lilly didn't notice the confused expression, nor the Chingling's thoughts, those where sure to anger her more. The Skitty looked around as the tackle missed, a mistake it proved to be as the Skitty fell, the ribbons wrapping around Lith's leg. Lith made a sound in protest and tried to free himself, using the tiny claws on his paws to do so. Lilly let out a small sigh, still a bit annoyed and clenched her fists, not knowing what she could do. The Daemon by her side didn't move, just watching and waiting what would happen now.

[Birdybot]

Chingling squealed in a little pain, bell tinkling in alarm as it felt the pricks of a dozen tiny claws. It resisted it's instinct to withdraw immedietly from the source of pain, but, however, there cam a point where Chingling couldn't take any more and let go suddenly, without warning. The bell Pokémon's eyes widened, realizing the it was no longer attacking. Lith was no longer in it's power, but the Psychic type didn't move a muscle. It's eyes were fixed on the Skitty wherever he moved, however.

[DaeSiggil]

The Skitty hit the floor with a painful sound, he righted himself quick enough however and scowled at the chingling, shaking himself. Lilly cleared her throat and then nodded to herself "Lith!" She shouted "Use Growl!" Lith nodded and looked at the Chingling again, growling at it. She grinned once more "Then another Tackle, Lith!" The Skitty nearly fell down again, looking around quickly, seeing that the Chingling was still hanging too high for him. He found something soon however and ran to one of the trees, going to use this as some kind of leverage to propel himself further and tackle the Chingling.

[Birdybot]

Chingling shivered at the Growl attack, feeling her Attack stat go down a bit. A... a Tackle attack? Hehe, there was a flaw in the plan; Chingling was floating. And... why was he attacking the tree? That Skitty was so stupid that this battle would be over extremely quickly. However, now that Chingling was in a false sense of security, she wasn't bothering to watch the battle so totally. Her eyes wondered, and the next thing she knew she was on the ground with Lith on her.

What? OK, maybe this battle wouldn't be so easy any way. That didn't matter though, Chingling liked a challenge. The Psychic type bell Pokémon's ribbon wraped around the cat while he was still close, aiming for another wrap attack. Not knowing whether Lith was Wrapped or not, Chingling rose upwards and let go. Had she let go of air or a Skitty?

[DaeSiggil]

The Skitty felt satisfied as the Chingling landed on the ground. He had half expected the wrap attack again, but that it dropped him however. A startled sound erupted from his throat before he pushed his claws into the ribbons and pulled himself up, stubbornly. His tail moved from tail to tail slowly as it growled softly again, this time more from the effort than out a real attack.

Lilly kept watching "Lith, use another tackle if you can!" She shouted, biting her lower-lip once more. The small kitten looked strained as he tried to comply, Silas looked at her for a moment ~wouldn't it be better if we let him re-?~ She cut him off with her hand and glared at him "Lith will win this.."

[Birdybot]

Chingling was struck out by the Tackle, her small bell like form being pounded into the ground by the force of the attack. She groaned as she arose, levitating wobbily into the air again. She was panting now, greatly weakened by that last Tackle attack, for which Lith had seemed to have found a random pocket of strength. As a result, Chingling didn't have much strength left. Another attack or two should do the trick. Her bell clanged in a minor key now.

The Psychic type only had one move, so could pretty much only retaliate to that in one way. She whipped forwards with her ribbons, aiming to use- surprise, surprise- another Wrap attack.

[DaeSiggil]

The Skitty thought that he was ready, but the ribbons wrapped around him nonetheless again. Lith struggled, also greatly weakened by the previous fight and this fight. The source of his previous attack seemed to have disappeared as well and he cried out in pain. His eyes squeezing shut tighter; Lilly took a step forward, worried about the pink kitten although one wouldn't be able to say "Lith!" She hissed softly. Her hand on her pokeball to call him back, her other free hand fondling the other pokeball where the freshly caught Cacnea was in.

[Birdybot]

As Lith was weakening, so was Chingling despite the fact that she wasn't recieving damage herself. Her eyes were squeezed shut with the effort of straining her muscles to keep a hold on the Skitty. Her legs and arms flailed for a moment, as if she would get her energy from there, before she let go with a gasp, tumbling down and landing heavily before wobbling just a couple of inches into the air. She was too weak now to use another Wrap, so instread make a feeble yet fearsome tinkling growl, a Growl attack.

[DaeSiggil]

Lilly scowled for a moment, before withdrawing the pink kitten. She looked at the pokeball at her side, then took it and threw it; the ball opened and let out the freshly caught Cacnea. The Cacnea shook himself and instantly leered at the Chingling "Salch, use an absorb!" She yelled.

The Cacnea looked at her for a moment ~Alright!~ The green pokemon said, although to Lilly it just sounded like he said his name; the Pokemon readying to use the leeching attack. The orbs suddenly flew out of his arms and towards the Chingling, it would restore his own energy and sap the Chingling's; something better just couldn't exist, right?

[Birdybot]

Although the Absorb attack would be much weaker than usual thanks to Chingling's Growl attack, the attack looked like it would deal a lot of damage anyway. After all, Chingling was very weak and Cacnea had had time to rest from his battle against Lith. The Chingling was struck by the Absorb, the force of which knocking her to the ground. She fell, and tried to use the last of her energy to float back up. However, this failed as the Absorb's beads left her, taking that last energy with them as they moved over to heal Salch. Chingling was no longer trying to get up.

Chingling was defeated! Lith gained one level! Salch gained one level! (Two split between two is one each, right?)

[DaeSiggil]

[OoC: Yup, nothing but fair ^_^]

"Yes!" She shouted out, jumping into the air. She was happy and she was now not afraid to let it show. She didn't scoop up the Cacnea up however, mindful of his needles that stuck out of his body. She looked at the Chingling then and huffed "Serves you right." She muttered, sounded a bit pouty still. Silas rolled his eyes at that, yet gave something what could be considered like a smile to the green Pokémon.
