Finally, after all these years, Black had finally gotten in touch with HIM! Red, the greatest trainer of all time. Black had never been more excited in his life. He pulled on his black shirt and covered it with his light blue jacket. He ran his hand through his chestnut hair and placed his red and white cap snuggly on his head. A cocky smirk shown on his face as he check himself over in the mirror. He had been spending the past few days in Nuvema Town with his mother while his traveling partner, White was in Kanto. He had been training with his Pokemon like crazy and wanted to make sure he had something to show for it when she finally got back. Deerling had just evolved into a Sawsbuck and he was ready to use Buck in battle. It had taken Black forever to get in touch with Red and he was somewhat surprised that he had offered to come and meet him all the way here. Unova was a looong way away from Kanto, but he seemed more than happy to come here for a battle. Black was sure that he was more than happy to check out this region, but the whole reason he had headed this way was so that he could battle him. He had heard a lot about this young champion and Black had made sure to study up on him, as he always did. Red apparently was very tough and rarely lost, but Black could change that! Black put on his shoes and started downstairs. His house was somewhat small but it was comfortable, the perfect home for a family of two. His mom smiled at him, "Good luck, have a good day!" "Thanks, ma." Black gave her a wink and ran out the door. His Pokemon were healed and he had everything that he needed for this battle; he was definitely prepared. This was most likely going to be the toughest battle he ever faced. When White, Cheren and Bianca found out about how he kicked the Champion of the Kanto regions butt, they were going to be so jealous, especially after they try themselves and lose miserably. Black was going to beat him, he knew it. It was his dream to become the greatest Pokemon trainer ever and to defeat all of the Elite Four and Champions of all the regions. He had no doubt in his mind that he could do it with no sweat. The morning had just arrived and he could hear the Pidove's chirping from the trees. Even the Pokemon were cheering him on. He knew he would win, he had prepared himself extensively and this was going to be the greatest battle of his entire life. words; 481 tags; red notes; whoot! coded by arionne of pokemoncheyenne edited for firefox by essy of A Sound Soul.

Once again, he found himself missing the others and their sense of direction - which Red obviously lacked from his inability to find his way around smoothly. Thankfully, people were generally okay to help him find his way towards the little town that he was supposed to be meeting Black in. Red's mood wavered between excitement and calm for strategy, he'd briefly considered bringing Vee along with him for this battle, but without knowing what sort of Pokemon Black would be using, he felt more comfortable with Pika close. Sure Vee would have enjoyed the chance, but Red still wanted to win. Maybe he should have asked White what he was up against, but that would hardly have been fair. Black had probably had the chance to study him, but that wasn't generally what Red did. He didn't usually get the chance to study before hand, and he wasn't about to change that now. His hand curled tighter around the Pokedex in his hand, grateful for the help that it would probably be the difference in this battle. Black was a Dex Holder too, so he couldn't assume his youth meant he was a bad battler, after all Red had been a lot younger when he and Green had taken on each other at the League and Yellow had been only little when she'd taken Lance on. So no, youth was nothing. Even if Red had been training non-stop for years, he wasn't about to let his guard down now. And there was his Challenger, waiting for him. Grinning eagerly, Red ran the last few steps to Black, waving with one hand. "Hey Black! You ready to battle?" Even if he lost, Red was determined to just get stronger. If he lost here, it simply meant he needed to train harder. It would mean less time again with Yellow and Green and... And Blue, but that was okay. If that was what was needed... He'd just ask them to train with him. "This'll be my first time against an Unovan challenger, heh, I've never battled Unovan Pokemon before." He grinned again, a part of his mind already taking in Black as a challenger, gazing at him absently. What sort of battle would this be? ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● tag; words; notes; music; ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● this post template was made by cookie of on the edge if cookie catches you stealing this post template she will personally hunt you down and rip out your spleen. so be a good honest person and don't steal. thankyou.

He was surprised that Red even showed up. Black had sent that letter to Kanto months ago and though everyone had been telling him to give up, Black kept a good attitude and waited patiently for his rival's response. Finally after several months of waiting, he had gotten the okay from Red. It was even better that Red had offered to come to Unova! He was sure that he probably could have been able to make the trip to Kanto, but since he offered. "So, how do you wanna do this? 3-on-3?" Saying that Black was excited was definitely an understatement. This was definitely going to be one of the highpoints in his life whether he wins or loses. Just a chance to battle one of the greatest champions in the Pokemon World was an honor. That was where Black needed to be. Up there with the greats, with Red and Cynthia and all the others. He strived for that dream and one day he would make it a reality. This wouldn't make him the champion, not officially anyway. First he would have to beat all the Kanto Gym Leaders and Elite Four and then beat Red. He wished this was all it took though. But whether win or lose, Black would definitely learn a lot from this battle. Black already had his Pokemon planned out. Out of all of them he was most determined to battle with War. He had been training him extra hard for this day and he was definitely going to kick some butt. The longer it took for the battle to get started, the more pumped and ready Black was getting. "We can battle over here." Black walked towards a clearing that was surrounded by trees, the perfect area for a Pokemon battle, away from all people and distractions. Black wanted Red and himself to be completely focused on this battle, nothing distracting them. Getting in position, Black took out War's Pokeball. Starting out strong was the way Black battled. You might as well get all your Pokemon's strength out at once and see how much damage you can do as fast as you can. Not the best strategy for most Pokemon trainers, but it seemed to work for Black and his Pokemon. Black knew exactly what Pokemon Red had, he had always done his homework before a big battle. Knowing his lineup, Black knew for sure that this battle was definitely going to be one of a kind.

Even if the battle went badly for him today, Red would no doubt simply strive to improve. Perhaps he might be a little dissapointed, but like any good, cheerful young man, he'd bounce right back eventually. The idea of a battle, one that would actually require him to think and do his best, was as exciting to Red as anything could be. Training on his own was fun, it was exciting at times and built a great bond with his Pokemon, but it wasn't battling. Pokemon battles were, after all, Red's specialty. He'd been participating in them long enough to know that a battle could change on the last moment, just one move might be the difference between victory and defeat, but then... That just made it all the more exciting. "Three on three sounds great! We'll say both of us can recall and switch out between the three at any time. Have your Pokedex ready?" It would be stupid to assume Black didn't know anything about Red's team, he probably even knew about Vee - who was and wasn't with him in turns - but on the contrary, Red knew hardly anything about Black. He knew him to be friendly and enthusiastic, but that didn't mean he'd be reckless, and if anything, Red wasn't going to be the one to underestimate someone. Ultimately, Pika would probably be the one he was going to depend on - he usually was after all. All depending on what Black decided to throw at him. Aero would be another that he'd depend on, his quick reflexes and strength in the air would be a big asset. Following Black to the clearing he'd pointed out, Red quickly moved away from his opponent, turning to face the younger man with another of his trademark grins lighting up his expression. He just had to remember, that Black had done just as much as he ever had, that he would probably be just as good a battler. Shifting his weight back and forth on the balls of his feet, Red couldn't have been more excited about the up and coming battle, though his eyes did dart around the area to examine it before looking back to Black. "Do you want to start us off then, Black?" Even as Red spoke, his hand fell against Aero's Pokeball. Speed, strength, best to start off strong. Not that he wouldn't change his mind depending on what Black would decide. "I'm ready when you are." ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● tag; words; notes; music; ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● this post template was made by cookie of on the edge if cookie catches you stealing this post template she will personally hunt you down and rip out your spleen. so be a good honest person and don't steal. thankyou.

He was a strong opponent obviously, he was the champion after all. In a normal setting, there would be no contest between the champion and his opponents, but this was Black. Black was known for his recklessness and it tended to come in handy when he was battling strong opponents. Out of all six of his pokemon though, who the heck was he going to pick when going up against the great Red. This was definitely a battle worth fighting with the best of his pokemon. Obviously he would have to use Poka, he was strong and sturdy and was able to take a good hit without being swayed. He would also need to get War back onto the field and see how he would do against one of Red's pokemon. Black had trained them for this, so they shouldn't let him down. He was really counting on them, but how was this battle going to turn out? Obviously, Black knew that he would win, Red would put up a good fight and struggle until Black threw out the final blow and then Black would be declared the unofficial champion. A cocky grin appeared on the young boys face as he reached for Poka's pokeball. His journey started with Poka, obviously he would want to start an important battle such as this with him as well. "Well, you better be ready, I'm not gonna go easy on you!" Black grabbed Poka ball and threw it up into the air in a cool like swing. The Fire Pig Pokemon broke free from the light as he got in his battle stance. Poka was just as pumped up for this battle as Black was, it was easy to tell just by looking at him. Poka was one of Black's best Pokemon and never let his trainer down, Black had full confidence in the little Pokemon and knew that whoever Red chose wouldn't stand a chance. Black was going to have to stay focused for this battle, which wasn't really an easy thing for him. He was so easily distracted and wasn't really able to concentrate on too many things at once. Musha was probably going to have to come out at some point during this battle and help him out. Musha was the only way to keep him focused on what was going on, and he definitely came in handy in the times that it really mattered. This was going to be one of those times. Red won't stand a chance. "Well, it's your call." Black gave another cocky smile as he looked at his opponent. Was he really going to be strong enough to beat him?

Even Green he hadn't battled in long enough that Red could feel his heart racing with excitement as he watched Black think over his team. Would he start of with something strong? Would he start off with a weaker member and build his team up? Would he be completely unpredictable in the way he'd have his line up? Red's mind worked furiously, every little piece of information he could think up about Unovan Pokemon being carefully placed in a small section for him to concentrate on later. Too many people assumed that Red's impulsive, cocky nature meant that he didn't think properly, that he wasn't intelligent. In some ways, that was true. Naturally oblivious to things that didn't concern him, Red was usually the butt of jokes. When it came to battles though.. there was a natural switch in his brain. "Go easy? You're gonna wish I took it easy." Red teased easily, smirking lightly at the other with the cocky sort of assurance that Red was well known for. It was only three on three, so he'd have to be careful about which Pokemon he chose. If Black chose a pokemon later in the battle he couldn't counter... No, he was starting to think too much like Green. Too much strategy, he knew his team he knew what they could do no matter what Black pulled out of his hat. After all, he was still the Kanto champion, and even if Black won this one, there would be a rematch when he completed all the gyms... Red refused to believe that he'd lose though. For a brief moment, his eyes skated over Poka, his hand not even twitching towards the Pokedex in his pocket as he grabbed for a pokeball. "Alright!" Grinning as he tossed the Pokeball lightly, Red's grin only grew at the eagerness Poli showed to battle. He didn't know how strong Black's pokemon were, or if he was going to win this, but the point remained, he was going to try his hardest. "Poli, start with an ice beam, let's see what he can do!" Poli was his first Pokemon, he'd saved his life on at least two occassions and Red trusted him more than anyone else in the world. Poli reacted instantly to Red's command, leaping forward to aim the attack straight at Poka. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● tag; words; notes; music; ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● this post template was made by cookie of on the edge if cookie catches you stealing this post template she will personally hunt you down and rip out your spleen. so be a good honest person and don't steal. thankyou.

The pig pokemon was ready as he stared down his opponent and both of them waited patiently for Red to throw out his first Pokemon. Black's heart was pounding, he usually only gets this excited when he's about to face a gym leader, but this time was different. He was facing the champion of the Kanto region, he was better than the gym leaders and even was above the Elite Four. His blood was practically boiling as he waited and then, it happened. The champion threw his first Pokeball and a Poliwrath burst out from the white light that engulfed it. So he was going to start out with a water type? That's pretty typical, but he wasn't expecting it. It was time for Poka to show just what he was made of and how strong he was. He could beat the champions prize water pokemon. "Poka, dodge it and use Headbutt!" Poka jumped up into the air, the Ice Beam grazing it's foot. It sat up in the air for a bit, doing it's best to make itself look amazing. Yeah, this was definitely one of Black's Pokemon. Poka then tucked his head and made a dive bomb straight towards Poli. Unfortunately, Poka wasn't paying attention while he was in the air and didn't aim correctly. Because of his concern for his image, Poka landed smack into the ground right next to Poli. A sweatdrop appeared on the back of Black's head as he watched one of his best Pokemon completely miss the target. "Hng, Poka...what a way to start a battle..." Black slumped over, maybe he had chosen the wrong Pokemon to start out with. Poka was usually so good at his Headbutts, but I guess the shock of having to face the champion was too great for him. Poka wasn't the most focused Pokemon either, for whatever reason he did his best to be just like his trainer, meaning how he looked while fighting MATTERED. Black placed his head on his forehead, doing his best to get his thoughts together and refocus on the battle instead of Poka's blunder. "Poka, use Arm Thrust!" Black prayed that this attack would be better for them than the Head butt incident. Hopefully Poka could get it's act together to at least stand a good chance against Poli. Fire attacks wouldn't help them here and Poka seriously needed to watch out for any water attacks. But what would Red do?

Red's eyes were fixed on the littler opponent to Poli, a slight frown showing. He'd grown up around the Kanto types, and so even something like a fire-type looked odd to him. Still a Pokemon was a Pokemon, and Red was determined to win. Poli's type had really little effect on the fact that Red had chosen him, it was more that Poli was his oldest and one of his closest. He knew Poli to be a strong opening to any battle, and yes.. His dual type did come in handy. Despite Red's position in the world as a battler, and his own special skill as 'the fighter', there was nothing in his demeanor then that might suggest it. He was far too busy grinning like a kid at Christmas. When Poka quite neatly dodged Poli's ice attack, Red's grin only grew. So this wasn't going to be an easy challenge. "Watch him, Poli." There was really no need to warn the Poliwrath of the Pokemon above him, his body all tensed to spring away from the other Pokemon, only to look back at Red in bemusement. Not only did the Pokemon worry about his form in the air but he missed... He'd missed and Poli hadn't even had time to twitch a muscle. Behind him, Red had disolved into laughter -- though not a mocking kind of laugh. Bracing himself on his knees to hold himself up, Red grinned easily at Black. "Nice hit, Poka. Try to be a bit quicker and focus next time." Then he was laughing again, even Poli chuckling quietly. Perhaps it was odd for a trainer to give another advice in the middle of a battle, but Red had never been particular about when he offered his help. If it was needed, he gave it, and there was nothing else to it. "Poli, counter it with a Focus Punch and straight into Water Gun." Just like that, with Black's command called, Red's attention snapped back to his Pokemon. Not quite quick enough to dodge the attack, Poli stumbled back a step before changing his weight to pounce off his foot and towards the other Pokemon. One attack directly after the other, Poli's eyes never leaving Poka before him despite Red's attention being fixed on the pair of them. Hopefully at least one of the attacks would hit, Poli had taken one hit, and Red didn't really know how many of the Pignite's attacks Poli would withstand. It was hard when he didn't know anything about the Unovan Pokemon infront of him. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● tag; words; notes; music; ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● this post template was made by cookie of on the edge if cookie catches you stealing this post template she will personally hunt you down and rip out your spleen. so be a good honest person and don't steal. thankyou.

The Pignite was just like that, he was just more concerned about his own self that he really didn't give a crap what everyone else thought about him and his fails. The pokemon had just fallen flat on his face and all he really could do was push himself right back up and throw more punches. Success! One of the punches hit. "Alright!" Black jumped into the air and was for whatever reason really excited that he hit one of Red's Pokemon. Red was the champion of Kanto after all, why shouldn't he be excited that one of his Pokemon landed a good hit on Poli. Black quickly shook himself out of it though when he realized that Poka just got hit himself. Black watched as Poka went flying towards him. Poka just couldn't catch a break. Luckily before the Water Gun hit, Poka was able to dodge out of the way. They would definitely be screwed if a water attack from such a strong Pokemon hit little Poka. He was a Pignite sure, but still it would do some major damage, especially coming from the champion's Pokemon. Black cracked his knuckles and gave a cocky smirk. "Okay Poka, give him a good Rollout!" Rollout was a hard move to dodge, but it was a hard move to come back from as well. Poka was going to have to be fast on his feet if he wanted to get away from whatever move Red pulled out of his sleeve after Rollout was finished. Black smiled, he hadn't had this much fun in a long time. It was about time that there was a good trainer out there that could give him a run for his money. Defeating Cheren and Bianca was getting way too easy, and White never really wanted to battle him. Black was usually on the move anyway, so it's not like he really had time to continually beat his best friends. But fighting the champion, win or lose, this was the best battle of his life.
