Tags: Mod Kris/Mod Kurt for experience points -- it's a practice battle instead of a real one, so idk how you would award them? This thread is also open for any visitors! Happiness: Spring - 0 (1/5), Sage - 0 (1/5)A Gust blast rippled through the grasses at the edge of the ranch, and Spring leaped back to avoid it. She growled to herself before rearing her head back to set up and shoot out an Energy Ball at her opponent.
Sage allowed the Energy Ball to glance off one of his broad, leaf-like wings. His body briefly shone as he used Growth to focus on his powers and loosed a flurry of leaves in a Razor Leaf attack at the Deerling.
"Eep!" Spring gave off a squeak of surprise and flattened herself to the ground as a wayward dodge. As soon as the Razor Leaf attack died down, Spring rushed at Sage and leaped with a Jump Kick. Sage flew straight up and Spring kept going.
With a, "Hey...!" Spring landed in a heap a few feet away. "Ouch... Not fair, Sage."
The Tropius landed with a soft thud near the smaller Pokemon. "Everything's fair in a battle."

Tags: Mod Kris, still open! Happiness: Spring - 0 (2/5), Sage - 0 (2/5)Well, if everything was fair in a battle, then it was fair for Spring to whirl around and launch a Feing Attack at Sage.
The Tropius flinched and Spring hurled another Energy Ball at the larger Pokemon. Sage was able to avoid the Energy Ball with a leap into the air and he slammed back toward the Deerling in a Body Slam.
The Body Slam clipped Spring and she heaved a deep breath as she fell to the side. Jumping back to her feet, she launched a Leech Seed at Sage, her aim true.
She started laughing as a little sprout grew on his nose, sapping a touch of his energy.
"Ha ha, very funny," Sage deadpanned before using his broad wings and pelting Spring with a Gust attack.
The Deerling squeaked as the Gust hit her and she was knocked to the side. "Alright, alright!" she called out, heaving. "I give!"

Nitrine hadn't been wrong when he had told Kurt his battle-hungry Pokemon had been growing restless. Before Ginger’s official arrival, DJ had been out in the fields, poking around in the flowers and chasing—sometimes catching—bugs. Once the youngsters were out playing, DJ retreated to the barn, where Kellen and Oxana were tossing back and forth the Snubbull’s toy, which resembled a Skitty’s tail.
“I can't stand all this being holed up,” complained the Doduo. “I want to go looking for trouble.”
“Not smart,” said Oxana. “If you get hurt, how will you make it back?”
“Good point.” DJ watched out the barn doors. “Maybe I can sneak over to Bryar’s and see if someone isn’t too busy to battle with me, just so I can work off some of this pent-up energy.”
“Nitrine will be disappointed in you,” said Oxana.
“Can’t be disappointed if I’m there and back before he knows I’m gone.”
Kellen, who had been quietly tossing Oxana’s Skitty toy with her, spoke up. “Can I come, too? I can’t be a good guard Pokemon if I’m not training.”
“In that case, why don’t you guys just battle each other on our own ranch?” Oxana pointed out.
DJ replied, “Did you forget that Nitrine didn’t want us to overwhelm the new youngster? She’s supposed to be kind of skittish.” He crouched down to let the Clefairy climb onto his back. “We won’t be gone long.”
“Okay, but if Bryar happens to spot you?” insisted Oxana.
“I’ll see him a mile away and come back before he can tell Nitrine.”
“Yeah!” enthused Kellen.
Oxana rolled her eyes. “You two are set on this, so I won’t stop you. If Nitrine comes in and asks, though, I’m not covering for you.”
Kellen asked, “Hey, Oxana. Can I borrow your Lucky Egg? It’ll make it more clear to the humans that we just want to practice battle.”
Oxana contemplated the strange little stone before handing it to her teammate. “Just be careful with it. It’s special.”
Kellen held it in the tight curl of his tail. DJ stood up from his crouch, and that was that.
Sneaking off the ranch wasn’t hard. Nitrine was busy with the little’uns. DJ had to go around the back of the house, but once he cleared the fence, he was off. With his speed, it didn’t take long to reach the edge of Wildrose Orchards. He paused just outside the boundary, both heads scanning for Bryar. “Keep your eyes peeled, Kellen.”
The Clefairy gasped suddenly. “Oh, oh, oh, I’ve heard of that guy!”
“What?”
“Four legs, long neck… That’s… I forget his name, but Pine told me about him when we first met.” Kellen spied the Tropius from afar, along with… “And there’s Spring! Come on, let’s go say hello!”
With one head still on the lookout, DJ trotted over to where Spring and Sage were, seemingly finished with their own practice battle. Kellen called, “Hi, you two! What are you up to?”
DJ was more forward. “Is Bryar around?”
Tagging Bryar Glasse! Hope the post was worth the read. I'm imagining Bryar putting up a sign that says "No Trespassers" with Kellen's face on it.

Tags: @aeranautics, , that'd be hysterical! xD Also, I wasn't sure how familiar the two teams were with each other? If Sage not knowing Nitrine's Pokemon seems off, let me know. Happiness: Spring - 0 (3/5), Sage - 0 (3/5)"--Not fair that you have Flying attacks."
"I'm part Flying-type, what did you expect--" Sage cut himself off as the wind brought some unfamiliar scents to him. Swinging his large head around, he caught sight of a two-headed Pokemon towing a pink fluffball in their direction. He growled and braced himself against the intruders--
"Hey, that's Kellen!" Spring abruptly cut through Sage's thoughts about protecting their ranch.
"What's a Kellen?"
"That's his name," Spring said. "Kellen is the Clefairy on the, uh, guy with two heads. He's fine, he's our neighbor at Spectrum Fields, and I'm sure his friend is too."
"Oh." Sage eased up a bit on his battle stance, but remained alert just in case. As the group came closer, the one named Kellen chirped out a hello and the two-headed one demanded to know where Bryar was.
"Who wants to know?" Sage asked the brown Pokemon in return. "Try introducing yourself first."
"I'm Spring," the Deerling said, hopping in front of Sage to greet the two-headed Pokemon. With a nod and smile to the Clefairy, she added, "I've met Kellen before. This Tropius is Sage. Why do you guys need Bryar? Something wrong with your trainer?"

Kellen hopped off of DJ's back and bounced a little in excitement. "Spring, you look well!" he remarked. "And Sage! I've heard about you; Pine mentioned you the night he and I met! Four legs and a long neck. Are those bananas?"
"Kellen, stay focused," DJ said.
"I'm just making conversation! These guys are our neighbors; we need to be polite."
One of DJ's heads continued to look furtively around the property as the second huffed a sigh and said, "I'm DJ, that one is Kellen, and actually I'm asking because we don't need Bryar."
"We came over because we wanted to know if some of your Pokemon here wanted to practice battle," Kellen explained, "since it's been a while since Nitrine took us on our last training outing. He's fine, just busy around the ranch."
"And we've been getting antsy." DJ stared Sage down as if silently asking if this explanation was enough.
With a cheesy grin, Kellen finished, "So, whaddya say?"
Tags: Bryar Glasse; Nope, Nitrine's 'mons have barely met any of Bryar's so Sage's reaction seems legit.

Tags: @aeranautics Happiness: Spring - 0 (4/5), Sage - 0 (4/5)"Aww, thanks!" Spring beamed at Kellen's greeting and she giggled when his fascination turned to Sage.
The Tropius, on his part, just raised his eyebrow-equivalent at the way Pine had apparently described him to the little pink Pokemon. The one called DJ responded, claiming they didn't need the master of the ranch, and Kellen asked about a battle practice.
Spring glanced up at Sage after the explanation, and the Tropius hummed in thought.
"Why not just spar together on your own land?" Sage asked curiously. "It's what we always do around here. Keeps us in shape enough without having to disobey and take off on our trainer."
"They just went next door," Spring said. "Hardly taking off, I think. I don't mind a practice battle with a couple of new opponents, but... How are we going to do this? Teams? Everyone for him- or herself?"
"We could do a double battle, I suppose," Sage said. "Either split up teammates onto separate teams -- such as DJ and Spring versus Kellen and myself -- or if you had other ideas..."
"We should all just gang up on you." Spring smiled innocently as Sage gave her a dry look for her comment. a dry look for her comment.

“Nitrine just welcomed a little one onto the ranch,” DJ explained as to why he and Kellen didn't just stay home. “He wanted us to take it easy and hang out in the barn, but where's the fun in that?”
Kellen nodded in agreement with Spring. He reiterated, “We're neighbors. Nitrine and Bryar know each other, and we're all not really strangers…” He paused. “Well, we don't really know all the Pokemon here like you don't know all of Nitrine's Pokemon, but we don't have plans to trash Bryar’s ranch or anything so it should be fine…”
“And we'll get done training in a jiffy,” said DJ. At Spring’s suggestion that all three of the smaller Pokemon use Sage as a target, both his heads chuckled. “Yeah, why not? You look big enough to take on all three of us.” With that, he shot a Growl attack at Sage before ramming at him with both beaks in a Rage.
DJNormal/Flying | Male | ??? Level: 13 Hold Item: ??? Peck | Growl | Quick Attack | Rage | Fury Attack >> DJ used Growl, then Rage Tags: Bryar Glasse, Mod Kris Hope it's okay I let DJ fire away this post. Kellen can go in the next, and maybe DJ again because they're low in level compared to Sage and Spring, if you agree with it.
Edit: so I added in question marks because... idk, ability and held item are information you wouldn't know unless you had certain abilities like Frisk or Trace or whatever. I'd do moves this way too if I felt more confident about not needing to reference bio posts :P

Tags: @aeranautics, I was honestly going to see if you wanted to just throw up the HP bars like Kris and Ninja did in their Shadowboxing thread. Although being able to see the moves without going back and forth to the bios is a good idea. xD On that note with the moves, I'm still using the pre-Sun/Moon pokedex moves and the older damage calculator since this thread was started before we changed Pokedexes. I am going to snoop through your bios to see what ability/held item your Pokemon may have, though, to be sure the damage calculator is accurate. Considering Kellen's and DJ's low levels, I don't mind if they attack Sage on the same post -- in fact, I'm having a difficult time figuring out how NOT to OHKO DJ, according to the damage calculator. Happiness: Spring - 0 (5/5), Sage - 0 (5/5)Sage rolled his eyes as the so-called practice battle seemed to change into a three-versus-one. Considering that the Doduo's Rage attack was barely a pinch, Sage supposed he really didn't mind. He shrugged the younger bird Pokemon away with one of his broad leaves, the Tropius moving to the side just in time to get smacked by a Jump Kick from Spring.
"Really?" Sage drawled. Spring gave him a cheeky grin before she was pelted with a Razor Leaf. She ducked away from the attack, and Sage brought his attention back to DJ and Kellen, curious as to what the other two would do.
Sage | male | chlorophyll Level: 37 Hold Item: Lum Berry Gust | Razor Leaf | Growth | Body Slam | Magical Leaf | Sweet Scent Spring | female | sap sipper Level: 33 Hold Item: Sitrus Berry Energy Ball | Aromatherapy | Jump Kick | Feint Attack | Leech Seed | Camouflage >> DJ used Growl, Sage's Attack was lowered >> DJ used Rage >> Rage took off 3% of Sage's HP >> Spring used Jump Kick >> Jump Kick took off 7% of Sage's HP >> Sage used Razor Leaf >> Razor Leaf took off 3% of Spring's HP
Other Note: The older damage calculator claims that Razor Leaf would do zip to Spring, so I guesstimated the damage. Also, the newer damage calculator didn't have Razor Leaf as a move option, which I found odd. I apologize that my notes are longer than my actual post.

"He just shrugged it off!" said Kellen in shock when Sage seemed barely affected by DJ's Rage attack.
"Duh, Kellen, he's been battling way longer than either of us have," DJ pointed out. "Your turn."
Kellen's ears drooped a bit as he stared at Sage. The Clefairy had always thought himself strong, but going up against Bryar's Tropius reminded him that he needed a lot more practice after all. To start off, he took in a deep breath and lifted his voice for a Sing attack. He was pretty bad at singing, he knew, but if Sage could be put out of commission for a little bit, it would be good for their side.
Without waiting to see if it worked, Kellen surrounded himself in a bright, colorful glow before beams of rainbow light shot forward towards Sage in a Dazzling Gleam attack. It was Kellen's strongest move. Hopefully it would leave a mark.
DJ blinked repeatedly, also having been caught up in Kellen's lullaby. Managing to shake off the sleepiness, he skipped the Growl attack altogether and, once Kellen's Dazzling Gleam died down, charged forward in a Peck attack.

It may not be possible to avoid OHKOing both unless he offers to make himself a punching bag or focuses all his attacks on Spring. Also, I looked over the new calc and you're right; a lot of weaker moves are missing from it, likely because it's a calculator for a more competitive scene where you don't really see Razor Leaf or Gust, for example. Until Sage (and other Pokemon with less competitively common moves) levels up some and gets some stronger moves, you may have to continue using Sulcalculator awhile. Speaking of calc stuff, if you want me to leave up abilities and items for the sake of calculating properly, I totally can.

Tags: @aeranautics, I'm thinking maybe in another post or two, the four could kind of agree to a semi-draw? That way the mods may be able to give everyone some experience points, as opposed to Sage annihilating the other three or for us posting forever until Sage's HP drops. Happiness: Spring - 1 (1/5), Sage - 1 (1/5)As soon as Kellen had started singing, Sage shook his head, dislodging a Lum Berry that he had been holding onto for a while. While his eyes grew heavy, he ate the berry to regain his energy and remained awake. The Dazzling Gleam barely did any damage, but it did momentarily blind him to DJ's Peck. Still, that didn't hurt much either, and Sage was wondering if he should just end this practice battle with a good attack of his own.
Spring actually disappeared for a moment before rushing at him with a Feint Attack. It wasn't very effective, but Sage knew that Spring would be able to handle more of his attacks than the other two Pokemon. He figured he'd let the young ones let out a bit more energy before ending the battle, and released another Razor Leaf toward Spring.

Kellen's ears drooped even more as he watched Sage's Razor Leaf land a hit on Spring, his face displaying discouragement. It's like nothing they did was doing any damage to the huge Tropius; he was just too strong, with too much experience.
That fact didn't seem to perturb the normally grumpy DJ. Instead, he seemed to delight in pitting himself against an opponent, even one so much stronger than himself. He gave a Growl in Sage's direction before running forward, necks stretched, in another Peck attack.
If there was one thing he could do, Kellen figured, it was support the others. Razor Leaf didn't look like it hurt Spring too much. He clapped rhythmically at Sage, whistling in an Encore attack, before lighting himself up in another Dazzling Gleam. They could win eventually.
Maybe.
Right...?

Tags: @aeranautics, alrightie, then perhaps this'll be my last battle post? xD DJ and Kellen can attack once more before Sage is like, "All done!" Or I can have Bryar appear. Up to you. Happiness: Spring - 1 (2/5), Sage - 1 (2/5)Sage was getting a little bored, in all honesty. He supposed this was good training for everyone and all, but being a punching bag wasn't his favorite thing to do. DJ's Peck was shrugged off, as was Kellen's Dazzling Gleam attack, and it was thanks to the Clefairy's Encore that compelled Sage to use Razor Leaf on Spring again.
"Are we done yet?" Sage drawled as Spring barely felt the Razor Leaf attack.
"Almost, perhaps," Spring said, glancing at her teammates. The three really weren't doing too much to Sage. At this rate, they'd be out here all day. Nonetheless, she reared up for another Jump Kick against the Tropius.

With a Growl, DJ sprinted at a blinding pace to hit Sage with a Quick Attack. At the exchange between the grass-types, he replied, "I've still got some fight left in me!"
Kellen used Dazzling Gleam once again before saying, "Yeah, but so does Sage. Training is good, but Bryar's Pokemon are way out of our league. I think we should give up for now."
DJ turned both heads to him, one brow raised on each face. One head glanced over at Sage first, then Spring, seeming to contemplate the situation. Even Spring was hardly getting off any damage on the big Tropius, and at the level he and Kellen were at, it was an uphill battle, for sure. Finally, he conceded. "I suppose you're right. At least we got to practice our moves for a bit."
