Tman's Team:

Kévin's the textbook example of a shonen protagonist: a bit slow on the uptake, but extremely loyal. There's not much that can faze him and he remains placid in all circumstances, yet he still has a strong sense of responsibility towards the team, as he knows he has great potential. Everyone likes him, but the reason can vary -for example, Manon can order him around since he doesn't care much. His eternal calmness is probably for the best though, as whoever angers him will quickly learn that he has enormous reserves of fire to throw around...

Misha certainly is the team's funball. Despite being a Psychic-type, she doesn't usually make much use of her brain and prefers to go with the flow, sprinkling her appearances with her trademark "Wahaha~!", though I suspect her of exaggerating some of her reactions by pure theatrical instinct (who would attempt to pout after receiving only one round of damage?). However, she does have a bit of a competitive streak and will quickly revert to a calmer state should a dangerous opponent arise.

Even though he isn't part of the Starting Trio, this Piplup didn't have any difficulty to blend into the team. His fierce yet cheery attitude is a very good (and very needed) middle ground between the girls, and he likes to relax near Kévin's heat source after a good workout. Kamina values the journey more than the destination, and will shrug at a defeat if he believes he improved his own capabilities in the match. On the contrary, he despises complacence and will get do anything to get the others (or even me) to train with him. He wants to reach the stars, and will go through anything it takes for that.

The arena.
A simple herald of whats to come.
Always changing, yet remaining fundamentally the same.
"How will this battle be different?" You think to yourself as you and your opponent enter the arena doors side-by-side.
A brief glance at them, and you can tell how different you two are, just like two different battles.
And yet... Just like those two battles... You're both very similar. Familiar, almost.
You seperate, each trotting over the packed dirt to a marked box on the ground.
Looking at your opponent from further away, you notice how your inherent differences are both enhanced and blurred.
Perceptions change every day.
This arena sees them all.
All the growth.
All the change.
All that stays the same.
And yet it sits. Silent.
The same as it always was and will be.
And yet...
Profoundly different.
Just like us.

Post Round:

Two flashes, and the battlers enter the field!
On one side, we have an intense, if a little uninspiring, Piplup, purposefully waddling his way into the middle of his half of the arena. And the other side, a calm, sleepy Abra floats above the ground, gently weaving up to his own starting position.
The referee gives a quick glance to both battlers, and suddenly calls out "Battlers ready! FIGHT!!"
In an flash, Abra erects a psychic shield around his skin, to deflect the physical attacks he sees this Piplup packing. But what's this! Piplup stays back and ejects a powerful stream of water from his beak, hitting the Abra cleanly.
Abra continues with a second layer of shielding, still wary of Piplup's physical prowess versus his defensive weakness. And yet, Piplup stays back once more to spew a stream of bubbles at the floating psychic. These bubbles seem to pop with a little more intensity than usual against Abra's shields.
Waving the bubbles away, Abra begins gathering the life energy around it into a green orb. Piplup sees this endeavor, and erects his own shield just in time to watch the green orb splatter across it.
Untouched, Piplup now sits back, confident but still watchful, and waits for Abra to interpret his next moves.

I can't wait for Misha memes...

"When you can't do much besides attacking, just attack."
"I live by this rule."
"Well we're going to not follow it next round! :D"

Sorry, Flamestar's sub was worded super vaguely.
And then I became super busy.
But now I'm back! :D

Post Round:
Abra's Defense decays to +3 Def.


Zoom! Abra darts off with unprecedented speed to avoid the chill breeze flowing out of Piplup's beak! Now in a different position, Abra fires another sphere of life energy at Piplup, which Piplup counters with a clean, strong string of bubbles. Confident in his abilities, Abra launches one final glowing green sphere before a rocket of water smashes right into his face! Wow! Piplup either got really lucky, or Abra let his guard down a bit too much to his confidence! In either case, Abra floats a little more weakly than before, and Piplup is sporting new soot marks from the raw energy colliding with his body. Not much is left between these two, and they better make sure to make this next round count... It may well be their last.

Piplup's defense decays to +2 Def.


Straight out of the ball, this undying legend of a Chimchar flatters Piplup's flawless moves! That sure feels like a lot, coming from one as famous as this Chimchar! Blushing slightly, Piplup launches another gush of water at his foe, hoping to impress him. Sadly, it did quite the opposite. Upset at his wet state, Chimchar begins yelling at and berating poor, star-struck Piplup, 'causing him to stop in his tracks, confused, hurt, and lost. As Chimchar plots his revenge this overzealous penguin, Piplup launches a smaller and weaker, but hotter gush of water to try and regain Chimchar's positive attention.
...
I don't think it worked.
