>>29812976
We don't get to say that after being a shit trainer to Devon.

You guys still suck.

"Lombre! Snap out of it!" Sato yells. Lombre struggles but is unable to move.

"Dan, hit it Sonic Boom!" Zappy Dan unleashes a wave of energy that strikes Lombre. It doesn't look like it did a whole lot of damage, but it was clearly felt.

"His strength doesn't matter anymore. Lombre is paralyzed, confused, against two Pokemon with type advantage over him. Didn't you say we, as trainers, should aim for our Pokemon to not struggle needlessly?'

Sato grins. "Indeed I did. There's nothing more to accomplish here. Lombre, return!" He turns to the referee. "I forfeit the match."

"Victory goes to the challenger!" The referee announces and waves a flag. Robin, Vance, and Junior come running over from the sidelines.

Sato comes over as well. "I present you with the the Growth badge." He hands you the small green proof of your victory.

You’ve won the Growth Badge!

>>29813528
>>29813417
Maybe not being a total mope, but tempering the excitement of winning with the observation of how we were a shit to Devon is appropriate. Unless we are somehow just totally oblivious even after quoting his lesson back to him.

>>29813528
No! We are to be jubilant in our victory!
We should apologize to Devon, however, after thanking Sato, and our pokemon.
I think Sato would be in the right to give us a little lecture over our stubborness.

>>29813649
I hope he calls us out on our idiocy

>>29813417
Ask about what happened to Devon. This is not a time for celebration.

Would anybody else laugh their ass of if we asked him about what happened with devon and he says that he would have done the same because he trusts his pokemon or it was a toss up or it was risk some shit like that.

>>29813745
we got our first badge, yes it is.

Lets not let your butthurtedness get in the way of the quest

>>29813748
Even if he does say that, It won't change the fact that it was a stupid move made by stupid players that had no chance of succeeding.

>>29813778
Our oldest, first, and best friend fainted. I'm one of the ones who voted for Dark Pulse, and I still feel bad about what happened to him. Don't assume, fucko.

we have an image to maintain, we can have moral discussions with Sato later if needs be, though I feel as though this could just be used as a reason for Kat to learn more regarding poke strategies...

>>29813803
Well, we can feel bad, but our first gym battle was still a success. It was a mistake, and we should learn from it.

>>29813803
pokemon faint, it isn't the end of the world. we didn't fail him, stop over reacting like little girls.

Jesus fuck /tg/ you're doing the same thing that you were doing last night and over analyzing and over reacting to every little thing that happens.

>>29813806
It's not an opinion. He was hurt, and against a pokemon with a type advantage, and furthermore there was absolutely no reason at all to think that a move we had NEVER used in battle before would have one-shot anyone, especially not a gym leaders pokemon.

>>29813806
It had about a 20% chance of succeeding IF Lombre had no way of striking before Devon, meaning it was slower and had no priority moves. A 2 hit KO isn't too hard to imagine (the people hoping for an OHKO were dreaming), so a Dark Pulse getting the flinch could have pulled a win. It was still a stupid gamble.

>>29813854
It brings down their affection. And it's just generally a dick move if it can be avoided.

>>29813748
I kinda hope that does happen, just to stop this dumb drama. I didn't vote for dark pulse, but it's not a matter of right and wrong. It was a risk.

You try to contain your excitement. You shake Master Sato's hand. "Thank you for the battle and this badge."

Robin and Vance pat you on the back. You just can't help it. You hug them both before posing dramatically. "I won the Growth badge!" It's more than a badge. It's proof. You're actually becoming a real trainer. No, you are a trainer now.

But trainers have responsibilities too. You absentmindedly reach for Devon's Pokeball. "Master Sato. About what you said before, about making sure our Pokemon aren't in a hopeless situation..."

"Ah." He leans on his cane. "Your Houndour fought with conviction. I could sense he wanted to do his best for you. Had it been a worse situation I might say you had a lesson to learn, but the fact that you asked that shows that you have nothing to be ashamed about." He pats Lombre's Pokeball. "Lombre and I have been working on his strength for some time. You're not the first trainer to underestimate him, and you won't be the last."

"But I let him get knocked out...I could have switched or-"

He hits the floor with his cane suddenly. "You do however need a lesson in respecting your Pokemon's wishes." He becomes serious now. "Your Houndour didn't try to retreat, he didn't hesitate to follow your commands. He wanted to do his best. Your wills were like one. In your journey, you and your Pokemon will face difficulties that you may not be able to overcome at first. It's only a failure if you fail to learn from it! Robbing your Pokemon of their chances to grow and prove themselves is just as bad as pushing them beyond their ability. As a trainer you must balance those concerns and others." He maintains eye contact.

You nod. It sounds hard, but you don't feel intimidated.

"It wasn't an optimal choice, but not all of your choices will work out. All of them have a lesson. Remember that and you'll never stop growing. Now. Please follow me." You and your friends follow him to a back room. There are rows of seeds containers and plant all over this deceptively large storage room. "There is a tradition among those who win the Growth Badge to plant a tree to commemorate their victory. I cannot force you, but I would ask that you please uphold it." He points to the various weaved baskets, cubbies, and containers throughout the room. "You may take any seed or plant in this room."

Vance peers over you. "Do people plant them nearby?"

Master Sato laughs. "My child. Every tree here was planted by someone who earned a badge in this gym. The very roots you're standing on are from the tree I planted when I was a young sapling."

How old is he? Maybe he just knows a secret to growing plants.

If the action happened, don't dwell on it, if a stupid idea comes up, argue against it. Don't spill venom all over because you're feeling mad.

You think on it. Apricot, oak, Berry, it's a tough choice. "I'm not sure. can I plant more than one?"

Sato leans back and laughs. "Yes. Yes of course! Please do. I wish everyone asked me that. Just don't tell everyone you beat me multiple times!" He jokes. "Space is limited here though, so please only plant on here and find a place for the the others."

"Alright! I'll plant an Oak tree here, and I'll keep my eye out for good places for the others." You look around the greenhouse until you find a nice spot. Master Sato directs you on how to plant it. One day this is going to be a strong, powerful tree. It won't bend or break. It will endure.

"I guess I have some catching up to do" Junior says. He reaches up to pat you on the back. "Don't think you'll be able to keep your lead on me for long."

Robin has a clear fiery aura. She seems really pumped from watching that fight.

"Robin, did you want to challenge the gym too?" She zones back into reality.

"Could you tell?" She tries to hide her expression.

"I can feel your desire to win pouring out of you." That sounded more sagely in your head. "My question is, why?"

Robin's usual self-conscious attitude has melted away. "I've seen a lot of gym battles. I've watched carefully, made notes, but I've never really cared who won before." Robin looks you in the eyes "I cared this time. I just feel so alive! I think... I think I want to try for the League championships." You see a bit of the same expression as when she started drinking with you before. Passion? Rebelliousness? Determination? Maybe all three.

Master Sato holds his turban as he laughs. "Oh my. It's like watching a flower bloom before my eyes. Well my child. You're certainly welcome to challenge this gym. These Pokemon need to rest though. I still have a few more friends here who I think would be willing though." He reaches into his headwear and takes out three more Pokeballs. "Like you, they are fighting a gym battle for the first time." You're wonder if he's doing that so she can battle him today, or if he's trying to use a team he knows she hasn't studied.

"I guess it's your turn to join me in the bleachers." Vance puts his hand on your shoulder. It's still hard not to feel tiny when he does that. Robin must feel like an ant. He turns his attention to Robin. "Good luck!"

You, Junior and Vance take your seats in the bleachers. You hadn't noticed from down in the battle area, but the seats are entirely covered in roots and various plant life. You wonder if there's even a structure under here.

You look to Vance. "Pay attention. You're on deck."

Junior sits next to you. He has a bag of popcorn.

The match begins. Sato sends out some sort of small, flying green Pokemon with a flower on it's back. It must be grass and flying. Robin takes out her Geodude. You notice that she lets him out under the one shaded area on the field.

This might be a good chance to impart another lesson to Vance. He must be wanting to pick your brain too, he keeps his eyes on the fight and asks, "What do you think so far?"

I hope not. I am pretty curious as to why she leads with Rock/Ground.

>>29815477
>Focus on Robin leading with Geodude
point out how she figured that wierd floaty pokemon (skiploom) is a flying type and played against its weakness somewhat with geodude

>>29815477
>Focus on Robin leading with Geodude
'What is she thinking, it's slow and extremely weak to grass moves. Is she just getting him out of the way? too callous for her. Not, it must be something else.

Rock vs flying?'

skiploom is half flying and is terribly weak.

>>29815590
Yeah, she is a cleaver girl. Probably gambling that geodude will be able to take a hit and give rocks in return.

You tap Vance on the shoulder. "Did you notice how Master Sato is using new Pokemon against Robin?" You look to your right where Junior is. "Can I have some of that popcorn?"

You lean over and grab a handful before he says yes. He doesn't object.

The gears in Vance's head start turning. "He knows she's been here before to watch. She's probably familiar with his usual fighting style."

You toss Vance a piece of popcorn. "That's right. Sato's style is to try to win before the match starts." You nudge him again and point to Robin, "What is she thinking, it's slow and extremely weak to grass moves. Is she just getting him out of the way? No, too callous for her. It must be something else." You try to let him get the rest of the way.

Inspiration hits vance the same way he hits...well, most other things. "Rock vs flying?" You throw him some more popcorn.

"Exactly. She's still got to contend with the disadvantage to grass, but this way she at least partially makes up for it. It's probably the best match up she can hope for with Geodude."

He nods. You feed him another piece of popcorn.

Junior looks at both funny. "Are...are you training him?"

"She is! I'm a martial artist. Kat here is teaching me different training techniques." Vance misses the actual question by a mile. Phew.

"Uh huh." Junior says.

You grab another handful of popcorn and change the subject. "SO! Vance. Notice anything else about the fight? Anything you'd want me to shine. Some. Light. On?"

"Now that you mention it. Geodude is fighting in the shade."

"Why do you think that is?"

Is the geodude named Spartan? I hope he's named Spartan.

Before Vance can answer, Junior jumps up to cheer. Geodude and Sato's Pokemon are both knocked out. Sato sends out a thing Pokemon with a bell-shaped head. Robin throws out Eevee.

Sato seems to be trying to close the distance and use the thin Pokemon's agility. Robin has Eevee keep out of reach as Eevee uses Sand Attack.

Despite Robin's efforts, the plant Pokemon manages to get a hold of Eevee. You're pretty sure that move is called Wrap. Robin tries to use her Pokeball to recall it, but she can't. Reluctantly, Robin throws in the towel for Eevee. She sounds out her Houndour

"See how she stopped Eevee from fighting? That's exactly what Sato was talking about before."

"I noticed that too. She'll have to train Eevee on how to escape holds like that." You feed Vance some more popcorn. He lightly mimic's the movements of the match. "Eevee needs the mobility advantage to last." You shovel some more treats into him.

Robin's Houndour makes short work of the other Pokemon. You, Vance, and Junior all cheer. Popcorn spills onto the floor, and you catch as much as you can before it hits the ground. Can't be wasting food now.

"Go Robin! Go get 'em!" You cheer.

Sato sends out his last Pokemon. This one is a goat shaped creature. He immediately as it charge as close to Houndour as possible before he yells out "Bulldoze!" It knocks Houndour down, but it quickly recovers.

"Houndour! Pour everything into a Flamethrower! Don't let up!"

Sato's Pokemon rushes Houndour again, directly into the flames. It rears up to stomp the ground once more, but instead of another powerful Bulldoze, it just falls over.

"Skiddo is unable to battle. The challenger from Kindletown is the winner!"

The three of you run down to congratulate Robin. Hugs and high fives are exchanged all around.

"It seems I'm giving away a Growth badge for the second time today." Sato says as he hands her the badge. "Congratulations."

Robin just stares at it in wonder.

Also, I really think we should visit some expert pokemon dude to tell us our pokemons hidden abilities or whatever, maybe take a closer look at our well bred Devon

last time he only had a piplup

We only used three in the fight, and have six. We can do a 3v3 fight with him. Dan was even unharmed, so we have options. It's been a busy day, though, so not fighting him is understandable.
