[h1][color=f7941d]Abigail Lowe[/color][/h1] [h3]Location: Route 1[/h3] The route was pretty busy. There were loads of Caterpies and Rattatas, but Abigail wasn't really interested in going after them. Besides, there were so many young trainers around, and she didn't want to mess up someone else's battle by accident. She skipped around, eagerly searching for a Pokemon to battle. Most of the ones she could see just didn't catch her attention at all, and what was the point in going for a partner that she didn't want to join with? [color=f7941d]"Oh, tall grass! That's where you're supposed to find all the Pokemon, right?"[/color] she muttered as they came to the curve in the path. It was way quieter over here. Most of the younger trainers must've got caught up in battling right outside Redorchard, huh? Most of the people that had gone this far looked a bit older than most of the people here. Abigail was probably about the same age as a lot of them, even if she looked a bit younger than most of them. Abigail was about to head into the tall grass when she noticed the Pidgey. She stopped and watched it for a second, a smile spreading across her face as she saw the Pokemon at work. Sure, it seemed a little small, but it was totally determined and strong! Kinda like Abigail was, too! Yeah, this was the right one, for sure! She turned and looked at her companions, who seemed to be getting ready to do the stuff they'd decided on. [color=f7941d]"Hey, me and Waffles are gonna take some time, okay? You guys can go ahead. Don't miss me too much!"[/color] she laughed cheerfully, then looked at her Deerling with a smile. [color=f7941d]"You ready, Waffles?"[/color] in response, her Pokemon nodded, raising his head proudly into the air. Sure, maybe she could launch a sneak attack, but that didn't feel right to Abigail. After all, she needed to see if the Pidgey was as tough as it seemed. Besides, it didn't seem like a Pokemon who would listen if she just caught it by being all sneaky. If someone came and caught her in a ball without even warning her first, Abigail knew that she'd be really really mad about it! Instead of sneaking up on the Pidgey, Abigail called out a challenge. [color=f7941d]"Hey, Pidgey! I bet you can't take down Waffles and me easy!"[/color] as she called out, she pointed towards the bird Pokemon, and Waffles stood facing it, ready to battle. She raised her Pokedex, looking at the Pidgey. [color=f7941d]"Pidgey's a flying type, right?"[/color] she thought back to their earlier battle, when Waffles had been hit by that Peck attack. She wasn't gonna let something silly like that happen again. Popping a boiled sweet into her mouth, she put on her most serious face. If she wasn't, well, Abigail, it might have been intimidating. But she was, and it wasn't. [color=f7941d]"Okay, get on the dirt path and use Camouflage, Waffles!"[/color] If she was right, this'd turn his type to ground. That way, if Pidgey had flying attacks, they wouldn't be super-effective any more. No way was she letting herself need help for this one! This time, her and Waffles were gonna win all on their own, and get this Pidgey to be part of the team! [hr] Pokedollars: 700 [hider=Bag] Potion x1 Ficus Ball x1 Ficus Pokedex x1 Assorted Candy x???
