Sounds fair! I'll get to work on a character proposal and we can see from there. For record, I am coming off of a few year hiatus for reasons. If that doesn't seem appealing, that's fair, but I do want to try!

Erika clenched her fists. She was winning but barely. Yet things weren't going awful for her yet! Sno was hanging in there even if she was asleep. Eep needed more time but as he made his way up, he did have one attack he could do. "Eep! Lob some acid over to their side! Aim for Pansear and try to get the feet to have his attacks go wildly off course!" Her gaze shifted to Sno who was still asleep. Did she have any move to help wake her up? Tara did with Safeguard. Maybe she should have brought her instead of Eep... but she knew Eep could hold his ground. He just needed time!
Her turned her head and caught Kay floating her way back up. [color=6ecff6]"Kay! Play dirty and go for Foul Play! Knock that Vanillitte back and hopefully off the top of the hill by any means!"
"Sno! Get up, please!" Honestly Erika didn't expect that to work but she liked to hope.
That left her team to enact their orders. Eep had to pause his climb to fling Acid up and over the top of the hill like a purple cascade of goo. Kay would charge and ram herself against Vanillitte since Foul Play was physical but used Vanillitte's attack against itself? Erika wasn't quite sure how that worked... That left Sno who was still sleeping!

Hello!
I've been a reader for at least a month now. Waaay back at the start of chapter two, you stated you were looking for another member... would that still be the case?

Awww. Saw this too late to try. I'll be reading though!
❄Erika Olson❄
"Oh my." Erika couldn't help but express shock as her next opponent came out with a hot pan and still cooking something! Erika shot a glance to Sno on her right who hovered over her shoulder with a bit of an interested expression. She looked back and both shrugged. "Well, be careful. I'm sure it'll be yummy at least!" Erika offered to her opponent as the rules of the match were decided.
King of the Hill.
"Hmm..." Erika pondered as she raised a finger to tap thoughtfully on her chin. Two minutes wasn't a lot of time so speed had to be essential. Then again, she needed an anchor who could hold it down. Erika shot a glance to Sno, knowing her speed was quite impressive. She also had a good anchor in Eep.... but who would she go with for her third member?
"Aha! Alright, I'm ready!" Erika drew two Pokeballs from her belt and threw them out summoning...
"Lileep!" "Kaaay!"
Eep and Kay would work nicely with Sno. "Alright team, here is the plan. Sno, race up there and hit them with Icy Wind, the coldest and harshest wind you can muster and keep them struggling to climb. You should get there first, I bet. Give time for Kay and Eep to catch up. Once they do, confuse ray the opposing team and then return to Icy Wind. Eep, you are going up there to Ingrain yourself at the very top. Really dig those roots in. Once your set, Acid all around and make it very slick. Kay and Sno will be floating so anything needed to walk up will have trouble. Kay, Reflect for the team and help protect. Hypnosis the opposing team once Reflect is up. Alright? Let's go!"
❄Erika Olson❄
It was a tense battle. Erika had done fairly well but the inverse had thrown her off there with Eep being called out when basic normal moves would be super effective against his rock typing. Also, wow, did that feel close. Gibs going down in the first round was certainly nerve-racking. A dragon-type might not have been the best considering the all-around resistances. What would have worked well here, Erika thought. Normal types were safe and maybe poison or bug?
She shivered. The thought of having a bug-type on her team freaked her out. All those spindly parts crawling all over. That was maybe the one type she wouldn't end up catching, but if she were truly going to set out to be competitive, she'd need to get over that. Her mother had told her all Pokemon could be ultra-competitive with the right training and it paid to have a strong, diverse team. But those legs!
"...the rewards will be greater~!"
"Oh!" Erika sounded in a startle as she realized she was still on stage and being asked a question. She hastily waved at Colin. "Nice battle! Good luck!" She hollered to him as she turned to address their host. "Yes, I can go on. I'm learning a lot, really." Erika nodded.
❄Erika Olson❄
With their departure set from her new friends, Erika was sure she'd see them again and be in contact. She did give Maple her address so she could find her mother but it wasn't a secret in Cooldome. Her mother advertised herself as a place for trainers to rest. It was kind of like an inn but she'd usually invite trainers to dinner to share stories and offer battling advice if they were interested. Of course, she'd help them with preparations for climbing to the summit. On the rare occasion, she'd be tasked with finding an ill-prepared trainer on the climb. She knew the mountain better than anyone at this point, it seemed.
Back to PokéMania, Erika nodded but she found her stomach turning at the thought of publicly battling against her opponents. She supposed this probably came with the whole grand champion goal as everyone watched the tournament in Isson. She turned and looked at Sno who was watching a colorful display of their host but in neon lights. Erika followed her ghostly gaze and saw a team of Rotoms jumping between the neon lights, sending each one to light up more.
"Well Sno, ready to try this out?" Erika asked, tugging playfully at one of Sno's arms. She shivered, feeling the cold that being both of Ice and a ghost caused. Sno turned and nodded, "Fros!"
Erika moved on to filling her in description and sign-up.
Erika Olson, trainer from Cooldome who is aspiring to be champion one day. Stopping here to learn how to think outside the box better!
With that, Erika waited until she was called out.
Erika nodded as Sno floated in behind her. "Hi, Colin. Erika. You do look pretty cool." She offered before the battle. Away they went. Inverse and Snagem.
That was a bit tricky on first glance but Erika took a moment to consider who might welcome this challenge first in her team. "Alright Gibs, you're up to lead us off!"
She tossed out a Pokeball and Gibs appeared snapping his jaw excitedly.
Starting out against Lombre Erika used Sandstorm and then Dragon Rage. She then used Sand-Attack only and waited until the sandstorm buffeted Lombre down to a weakened state before trying to snag him.
Against Beautifly, Kay was sent out. Swagger before Topsy-Turvy. Psywave twice. Attempt catch.
Against Sneasel. Eep was sent out. Ingrain. Acid until low enough health then try and capture.

I caught that after I had posted and happened upon the mention in your CS. Honestly the whole commercial idea was that some company was touting "being a hero" and if Roxxon is going the whole "we sponsor the Titans" then that makes that all the better. Like they've been scheming for something like this.
So yes. New York is well covered so who knows where the winds blow!

Saturday. Finally.
It was the one day Cindy Moon did not have to slave away in front of her textbooks, at least the one day of the week her mother did not hound her over studying. Although Cindy did make a habit of presenting study on Saturdays even if she was just doodling in her notebook for an hour. Shutting her laptop, she hurried and got dressed, an oversized tee, tucked into her skirt with her trainers. She had no intentions of wasting today inside.
Cindy emerged from her room to the compact living room. Her parents didn't quite grasp the concept of apartment living as they brought all their stuff from Albany. Her family was well off, they could have probably afforded a townhome somewhere in the city, but her parents chose not to. As they put it, they wanted to reconnect with their heritage, but they were both natural born citizens. They didn't even really speak Korean anymore.
Whatever.
It wasn't like Cindy was going to complain aside from having to narrowly slip around the back of the couch to pass through. "Going out, Cin?" Her father turned away from the television to watch her leap Junior's bag. "Yeah, dad. I'm meeting Mina and we'll probably go to the park or something. I dunno." Cindy replied as she began shuffling behind the couch. Her focus shifted to what her father was watching.
"...you're seeing a rise in crime over the past month. The city of New York has to step up. I mean, get this Wallace, we're having stories leak of vigilantism cropping up all over and-"
"You'll be back before dark, Cindy."
Cindy turned to see her mother standing in the dining room, her eyes shifting from the television to her.
"I-" Cindy bit her tongue. She knew that this was a command, not a request. Unfortunately, she had a lot more to lose than her mother to fight her on it. A grounding would be awful. "Fine. I'll be back by dinner, I guess. I wanted to try this new place, but whatever, right." She winced realizing that she was taking an attitude, not a great move when facing her mother.
"Yes. I'll be back." Cindy raised her hand to quell any of her mother's wrath. Her plans today were setback by this. She might have to cut her day with Mina short if she was going to get some practice in. Just how much could she do with her newfound powers? She knew about the wall climbing and the spider silk from her fingers. There was also that strange acute sense to things, but what was that even? This was the first day she had to let loose.
"You better." Her mother said sternly before turning back into the kitchen.
Whew. Close call.
Cindy turned and raised her eyebrows, giving him a look. He merely shrugged with a smile. He knew what he signed up for when he married her. "Have fun, Cin." Albert Sr. turned back towards the television. Cindy did as well.
"..hero in your own story. Let's do our part to fight climate change. Together. Roxxon Energy, fighting for tomorrow."
Cindy rolled her eyes at the ad at another oil company trying to advertise their good will. Funny how quick companies are to try and play the hero after they cause a disaster.
Not wanting to waste any more time, she darted out the door.
