[quote=Shadowcatcher] "Pachi, Pachi!" her pokemon said as Rosina sent out Pachirisu. Fists clenched in her determination to win, Rosina waited for Misty to take the first move. "Staryu, use harden!" Misty ordered her pokemon. Rosina's eyes widened. Harden was going to make this match go on forever. "Pachirisu, use sweet kiss!" her little pokemon cutely walked over ans kisses the Staryu, making it fall asleep."What!?" Misty shouted. "Oh no! Staryu, return!" she said, bringing her pokemon back. "Go, Starmie!" Rosina looked at the pokemon who looked alot like the previous one. Registering it in her pokedex, she found out it was the evolved form of Staryu. "Pachirisu, use charge.""Agility, Starmie." The pokemon jumped up and spun around like a top really fast, before making a few copies of itself. Rosina wasent worried about that move. Her pokemon's discharge went out in all directions."Pachirisu, Discharge!""Pachiiii!" it said, releasing a wave of electricity out at all the Starmies. Each one faded away."Wh-what!?" Rosina looked confused. Misty looked rather smug though. "Starmie, Rapid Spin!"Suddenly from the water shot out the real Starmie and it smashed into Pachirisu who flew back, painfully hitting Rosina's chest. Losing her balance, the two fell back into the water and as she gasped, a bit of water rushed into Rosina's lungs. Grabbing her pokemon and swimming back up, she came to the surface, gasping for air and spitting up water. As soon as Pachirisu was out of the water, it looked at her with a sad look and ran out of the gym. Panicking, Rosina pulled herself from the water and checked to make sure her pokeballs were on her belt."Pachirisu! Wait!" she said running out after her, pushing Erin and Carter out of the way. Rosina no longer cared about the battle, she wanted to find her pokemon. Looking around she didnt see her little squirrel. Pushing some wet hair out of her eyes she called out for her."PACHIRISU!?" she yelled, tears in her eyes as she ran off towards the bridge to see if her pokemon ran that way. Taking out Drift and Azul's balls, she told them "Find her." Rosina's voice had cracked slightly as the three began searching. [/quote] In an attempt to catch the little squirrel Erin bust through the door and fell into the water and proceeded to thrash around in the water before machop and rattata managed to pull him up. Trying to look menacing with the greasy blue hair in his eyes and his shorts wet and a bloody tissue in his nose and red over his cheeks. Machop and rattata were both in fighting stances but Erin seemed to be looking away and in a stance that looked like he felt very awkward. Misty took a look at him and smirked after a while, she didn't have her pokemon at full strength but she was sure that she could take him on, letting her starmie that was already out do the work. "so another trainer huh? well let's try your luck against starmie" she said with a slight smirk. Erin replayed by quivering and looking towards the ground, machop and rattata were now looking at him to check with he was ok. Rattata finally bit erin by the leg and he fell into the water and began to thrash again before he was helped out of the water by his pokemon again. Erin pointed his finger at the girl in his normal dramatic way only to mumble "it was nothing" and dashing away in fear. What was that all about, he just kind of freaked out and ran away, but that wasn't his style... could he be... in love, Erin's first crush.
