@Ryougu
@Raddum
My reasons for not wanting links is the same as Ryou's basically. It's new and we haven't gotten much experience with it. Might help buff my Ojama deck, but since we're RPing duels I don't think I'll have to worry about them being underpowered anyhow.

@Ryouguit's the new summoning system

Yu-Gi-Oh! Guardians (Title Pending)

I'd rather not have links 'cause of how new the whole system is, but I'll be fine with it if everyone else is.

Damascus Gym

@floodtalon

For a few moments, Leo looked at the two gym leaders without saying a word. As hard as he tried, nothing seemed to be getting his words out. He looked down at the floor and gulped to ease the pain in his throat before finally being able to speak. His nerves had settled down for a bit, but he didn't exactly feel confident speaking to the duo.

"Um, the first one. Don't have much use for dojo training right now, no sir..." His body and speech were stiff. His mouth could only just barely mumble out the words he wanted to say before shortly dying out by the end of his second sentence. He mentally chastised himself for speaking so spinelessly. A trainer ought to have been a pillar supporting and reassuring his pokemon, he was too much of a wreck to even do that much. He never understood why he was perfectly fine tossing insults left and right anywhere else, yet turned into such a submissive idiot when it really mattered.

Damascus-Gym

@Floodtalon

"F-finally..." Leo heaved like a mad man as he finally approached the town of Damascus. He had lost track of how long he had been running ever since he caught that Torchic. He had decided to name him King, an appropriately snooty sounding name for such an uptight and rebellious pokemon. King had zero issue communicating with the other pokemon, none at all. Honestly, he seemed happiest when he was playing with them. But when it came to his trainer...well, let's just say that he had gotten the stink eye more than a handful of times. Way more.

But that didn't matter right now. They had finally made it to a town with a gym in it. All around the somewhat old fashioned looking town, Leo saw people and pokemon working together. The clank of hammers pounding steel came was a bit grating on the ears, admittedly. It wasn't all too surprising to see a ton of Machokes and Gurdurrs moving around left and right with large metal bars clutched in their arms.

He wondered if there was a Machoke around here who could give him a hand with his exercise routines...nah, that was a stupid idea. The gym was priority number one. After asking the locals for directions, Leo was able to locate the gym with little difficulty. For a few minutes, Leo stood there silently. His nerves prevented him from walking in. His palms were moist with sweat and he hardly felt like he could breath. He had to force himself to open the door and finally begin his first major challenge as a trainer.

Pokemon homebrew anyone?

Interested!

Battle!

Wild Torchic Appeared!

The Torchic shook it's head as it saw how thoroughly the Flabébe had been brainwashed. He was going to have to beat it if he wanted to free it obviously.

The Torchic shot off a few heroic Embers at the Flabébe to start off, believing hat a leafy looking creature like that would be weak to fire.

"Down, Bee!" Bee swiftly floated down to the floor, its small size making it far more difficult to hit than most other pokemon.

"Now, Vine Whip!" Vines sprouted from Bee's flower and wrapped themselves around the Torchic's body. That ember attack was sure to be dangerous to the vines, so holding onto the foe for any longer was to be avoided. "Okay, now pick it up and slam it to the ground!"

Bee did as commanded, the Torchic being raised up and set on a collision course to the ground.

The Torchic was grabbed and subsequently slammed onto the ground, but the Grass Type move did little to the firey avian. Torchic spit out some more Embers to try and get the Flabébe to let go and to try and burn it as well.

Another ember, just like I thought.

"Bee, turn him around!" The vines rotated to the right and made the Torchic face the other direction to avoid the attack. It was a tiny thing, too, so its weight made it all the easier to pull off.

"Now, throw him away!" The Flabebe turned the Torchic around to face her yet again. Bee rose her vines up the air, headed straight down, and then let go of the foe to toss him away while slamming him down to the floor.

The Torchic went flying through the air, slamming into the ground and getting up as the world spun around it. It was super dizzy and didn't know which was was which, so it just started firing Embers everywhere. One of them was bound to hit right?

"Whoa..." Crazy thing, attacking so recklessly. Luckily, Bee had the perfect protective measure to counter it, albeit with little damage dealt to the Torchic itself.

"Bee, Fairy Wind!" Bee returned her vines back into her flower. Her eyes began to glow pink and sparkles appeared in the air. Then, a strong gust of sparkling wind emerged from the Flabebe and blew at the Torchic.

"Blow that wind from side to side!" Bee did exactly as instructed and any stray embers that would have otherwise hit her were blown away from their intended target. Of course, some of the wind made contact with the dizzy Torchic, not that it would do much damage.

The Torchic finally got a grasp of its surroundings when it felt a minor itching sensation coming from the Flabébe. He shook his head and steeled his resolve. He was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but he had no choice. The Torchic took a deep breath, then spat a stream of fire at the Flabébe. The fire wrapped around the little flower into a strange Fire Spin, trapping it and hurting it slowly.

"Bee..." Leo gazed at his pokemon with a concerned expression. Time to think fast! He would have to go for a two attacks in one combo. Tackle and Vine Whip in one go!

"Bee, Vine Whip!" The Flabebe got her vines out of her flower yet again, looking especially concerned over the possibility of it getting burned amidst the flames. "Now, coil them on the floor!"

Bee did as she was instructed, floating down as she had a very good idea as to her trainer's plan. A weak smile emerged on her face.

"Launch yourself at Torchic!" With great speed, the vines uncoiled and set the little pokemon out at the Torchic, albeit with some damage from the flames even on her way out. Her small body soared through the air and aimed at Torchic in a motion that resembled Tackle quite a bit.

The Torchic wasn't prepared for such a gutsy move and was knocked flat on its back as it was knocked out by the Flabébe. However this came at a cost as the Fire Spin had burned it on its way out.

"Nice one, Bee!" Bee let out a triumphant cry as the Fire Spin disappeared from its users fainting. Leo threw a pokeball at the fainted Torchic. It was trapped in the ball as it shook three times. Another capture complete!

"Get some rest, you deserve it." Leo held out Bee's pokeball and a red light enveloped Bee and returned her to her resting spot.

I want to change my username?

Is there anyone who could help me change it, please?

Road to Damascus

@floodtalon

Leo looked back at the Torchic following him. He noticed that it was trying its damnedest to follow his trail without making its presence known. It failed. Miserably. Leo pretended not to realize it for the Torchic's sake. With the amount of effort it was putting in, he would feel guilty destroying whatever illusion of stealth it had in its mind. Thankfully, there was no need to keep up the charade for much longer. The Torchic jumped out and let out a loud cry! Although, he felt as if it were angry with him for some reason or another...just a hunch.

Whatever, if it was a fight it wanted, it was a fight it would get! He was contemplating sending out Toga for her first battle in literal centuries, but Bee seemed intent on fighting this match. She floated off of Leo's head with her flower and furrowed her tiny brows in anger. She then let out another loud "Bee!"

Roughly, it translated to "Don't ever call me a captive again!"

The Flabebe stood opposite the Torchic, raring to fight.

"You want to handle this one, Bee? Fine by me, let's take him down!"
