[T.X. Lorelei]

After exploring a bit around the other areas of the Ledom Academy Campus, Lorelei finally decided to brave Ho-oh Hall. Feeling a bit timid, she pushed open the main doors to the big building, looking around a bit as if she was nervous about somebody finding her here. She easily spotted where the dorm assignments were posted, and she swiftly made her way over. It didn't take her long to find her name- she was near the top, in dorm A2... with a girl named Giselle. That's a pretty name, Lorelei thought, and then optimistically added, I bet she's nice.

She looked down at the ground by her feet, where two small, slightly bulging cardboard boxes sat. This was all she had brought with her to live off of- and it was mostly clothes and memorabilia. What else would she need? She sighed softly and bent down, gathered up the boxes in her arms, and then struggled to stand up.

Lorelei didn't have a map of Ho-oh Hall, but it wouldn't be too hard to find her room, especially since her room was only the second one. She stared at the dorm assignment paper a bit longer to imprint her dorm number and her roommate's name in her mind. Then, she took a deep breath, adjusted her drawstring bag, brushed the wrinkles out of her emerald green sun-dress, and decided that now was a good a time as ever.

It took a few minutes of wandering to find her room, but soon enough Lorelei made her way to her dorm. She fumbled with the doorknob for a moment, pushed the door open, and then tumbled- literally- into the room. Her boxes went flying and one of them opened and spilled its contents, revealing a variety of sundresses, leggings, and a few other items of clothing. Lorelei landed on her stomach and skidded a few inches, slightly tearing one of the straps on her emerald dress. She felt her eyes filling up with tears, but none spilled out onto her cheeks.

Lorelei closed her eyes and let her forehead rest against the floor of her new home.

In her fingers she held a brush, and in that brush was her brown hair, tangled and matted after Elmo attacked her earlier that day. She cursed and tugged at the hair harder, and a long sound of pure pain emitted from the hair and Ammy's own pink mouth. She yelled and screeched at the pokeball where Elmo hid inside. She refused to come out and face the music. But suddenly she stopped hearing the great doors open from beyond her own door. Someone had come into Ho-oh hall, but who? Ammy opened her door just a crack and peered outside through cat-like eyes. A girl, whom she had seen before, but had never bothered introducing herself. Ammy simply watched behind her door as the girl went to check dorm assignments. Is this the girl I am going to have to share a room with? I sure as hell hope not. And as the girl proceeded to go into the room next to Ammy's, a wide smile creeped onto her face. Yes! At least a little longer to myself! But as soon as the girl pushed past, she heard the girl tumble and the contents of her boxes spill out onto the floor. Even though her hair was a mess, and she only wore short pj shorts and a half shirt she walked out to find her new neighboor sprawled out on the floor, her face flat on the ground. Ammy felt laughter building up and rumbling in her chest, and it escaped her jaws loudly. She just couldn't help herself. Who couldn't laugh at a loser who fell on the ground and dropped everything, including dresses, all over the floor. Plus any cool girl wouldn't wear dresses, Ammy felt she could never trust this one.

[T.X. Lorelei]

Worst. Day. Ever.

This was the moment that every nervous girl had nightmares about. Tripping and falling on the first day at your new school, with some cruel person pointing and laughing. And Lorelei was just lucky enough to actually experience the nightmare first hand.

Poor Lorelei just laid there. The tears, encouraged by the awful girl's laughter, began to leak through her tightly closed eyes. What else could she do besides just lay there? What was there to do? Might as well just lay down and die. It would be easier that way.

Lorelei might have done just that if it weren't for Ellie. The Deerling's pokeball had been thrown from Lorelei's blue bag when the teenager tumbled to the ground. Ellie had been released from the ball when it hit against the wall on the other side of the room.

The Deerling peeked around the bedpost- her pokeball had rolled under a bed- and saw the state of her poor trainer. With a look of concern, sweet Ellie galloped over to her trainer's side.

"Deer~" She cooed in a soft, high, melodic voice. "Deerling~"

The sound of Ellie's concerned voice gave Lorelei encouragement. The tears that threatened to overwhelm her stopped, and Lorelei sniffed. Ellie knelt down and nudged Lorelei's hair that had fallen over her face. The touch of Ellie's wet nose made Lorelei smile despite herself, and she pushed herself up so she was kneeling, facing away from the girl who had come to point and laugh.

Trying to fully compose herself, Lorelei took a band from her wrist and pulled her hair back into a neat ponytail. Then she stood up, wiped the tears from her cheeks, brushed out the wrinkled from her dress and tugged at the bottom of her leggings. Ellie made some more cute noises and nudged Lorelei's leg.

After a couple of minutes, Lorelei finally had the courage to turn around and face the girl who laughed. Lorelei's expression was hard, and not the kindest. But after a short moment, the expression faded into a different one- a kinder one, but still not a happy one. While Lorelei hadn't exactly forgiven the other girl already, it wasn't in her personality to hold a grudge for long, and she didn't get angry unless it was something serious.

Lorelei sighed and stared, not really sure of what to say. Ellie ignored the other girl completely, only paying attention to her trainer.

(Wanna know somethin' funny? I actually meant this thread for giselle (flora), but I must've been thinking about ammy when I posted it... xD But it all works out for the best!! Because flora had to leave for three weeks. Interesting, no? Hehe. I find it somewhat ironic. Nevermind! I thought this was for giselle, but when I wrote it, it actually was for ammy. Derpaderp, I'm so smart. xD

Also. The first version of this post was better, I promise. But then my computer wigged out and I lost it... blargh... So I became simultaneously angry and lazy and so I did a second rate, shortened version. D: Sorry!)

WELL AT LEAST THE GIRL STOOD UP, BUT HER EYES WERE

about to explode from all the tears held back inside of them. she stared at ammy with a hard expression, not exactly a mad one, but not the kindest one either. ammy was just suprised she didn't throw a tantrum, which was definetly what she had expected from the other girl. but since ammy had watched this whole episode first-hand, she noticed that it was the pokemon that had woken her from her despair. so she wasn't that strong.

finally ammy snapped back into reality, and realized that the girl was still staring at her with that hard expression on her face. but it didn't move ammy at all, suddenly the sneer that had formed onto her face turned into a wide fake smile. one she only did when she was being completley sarcastic or rude. and she expected to be a lot of both. "welllll?" she asked, dragging it out long and smooth. "what are you going to do? stare at me till my hair burns out? until i go away? until i cry?" she let out a chuckle, "because let me tell you right now, none of those are going to happen any time soon. so if you're going to do something do it. i would love a battle of course."

without any consent from the other girl, ammy shuffled through her bag and found elmo's ball capsule. since both of her pokemon were water types, and this girl's was a grass, ammy chose her tynamo, which was both water and electric. it would be somewhat of an even match. although this other girl would have a big advantage, but since elmo had a naughty nature, they might have a big chance. she liked to fight dirty.

Lorelei continued to stare at the girl while she talked. 'Are there people that actually feed off the misery of others? I've never understood bullies. They're like vampires or somethin'.' She thought, hardly hearing the words that were coming out of the girl's mouth... at least, until she heard the word 'battle'. That word always caught her attention.

Although she loved to battle, these weren't exactly ideal circumstances. Battling for her honor? To protect her reputation? For revenge? That really wasn't Lorelei's style, most of the time. However, it wasn't like she could say no. The other girl was already getting ready, and if she said no, then the girl would probably just go off on another bout of laughing or teasing, and Lorelei definitely didn't want that.

Lorelei sighed. "Alright, fine, if that's really what you want." She consented. Then she knelt down to speak to Ellie, who was still right by her side. "Are you up for a battle, Ellie?" She asked. Although the other girl had most likely assumed that Lorelei would battle with the Pokemon that was already out, Lorelei made no such assumption. Ellie didn't exactly like to battle- her other two Pokemon generally enjoyed it more than this softhearted Deerling did.

However, Ellie was more than happy to oblige. Even though the Ellie had done her best to ignore the other girl and only focus on her trainer, it wasn't like she was completely oblivious to the situation. And even though Lorelei wasn't going into battle to restore her honor or any of that nonsense, that is exactly what Ellie was going to do. "Deer~" She trilled in agreement, trotting forward.

ELLIE THE DEERLING

holding onto meadowplate!

Lorelei nodded and stood back up. "Alright. Single battle or double battle? And how many Pokemon are we each allotted?" She asked, taking a step back to make room for the Pokemon.

SUPRISINGLY THE GIRL AGREED TO A BATTLE, WHICH

ammy could not bare to lose. since the other girl gave her the chance to set up the rules ammy declared a single battle, and they would each get to use two pokemon. the small amount that ammy currently had. she averted her eyes from the girl to the small deerling named ellie, it seemed timid and quite scared. not the worthy opponent of elmo of course. but sometimes pokemon's natures would change in battle so ammy would have to keep a close eye on that one. she slitted her eyes, and wandered towards the big hall where the battle would take place.

she didn't want the girls clothes to get ruined, because then she would just cry some more. "elmo, we have this one in the bag." ammy scoffed, and elmo the little tynamo let a spark of electricity circle around itself. then she too watched the opponent. it seemed as though the small electric fish was measuring the deerling's skills just by the way it walked and acted. as though it needed to worry. but ammy just stood there with that smug expression on her face. then she realized something, she was standing in the middle of a big hall with pajamas on and messed up hair. hopefully not one crush or cute boy would walk by.

ammy got very very red just thinking about it. what if that were to happen? but if she won, her pride would be brought back. now i must win this battle! and although prima was begging to come out of her pokeball ammy left her in, best suprise the other girl with her clamperl. hopefully she hadn't already seen in. "elmo, get ready to win!" ammy half yelled to her pokemon. the tynamo turned in a circle, "tynamo..ty.." well, she seemed happy enough. at least one would be happy whether they lost or won.

[T.X. Lorelei]

Lorelei was a bit confused at first when Ammy began walking away- apparently, Lorelei's dorm room wasn't acceptable for a Pokemon battle. She shrugged and followed, with Ellie trotting contently alongside her. "Deerling~" Ellie said encouragingly- although it was unclear whether she was encouraging Lorelei or herself.

'Okay, single battle, two Pokemon. Who should be my second- Mack, or Jewel?' Lorelei wondered. But as soon as she had let the thought go through her mind, Ammy stopped. Lorelei stopped as well, and began to prepare herself for the battle. The other girl hadn't given orders to her Pokemon, so Lorelei assumed that Ellie would have the first move.

Ellie stood calmly, watching the excitable Tynamo, and pondering the differences between the Pokemon and its trainer. Perhaps the battle would be somewhat enjoyable if the Tynamo had more of a pleasant personality.

"Okay, Ellie. Start off with a growl." Lorelei commanded, crouching down. She had a habit of doing that when she got into 'the zone' of Pokemon battles. Something about seeing the battle from the Pokemon's perspective helped her concentrate. Ellie obeyed her trainer's command. She knelt down, flicked her tail, and growled cutely. "Deeerrrr~" She trilled endearingly, attempting to lower the Tynamo's attack. Then she got on her feet and pranced in place while her trainer began to speak again.

"Okay, now. Try for a tackle attack." Lorelei said. Ellie nodded, pranced slowly forward a few paces, and then charged, her hooves clicking as she ran. She lowered her head to make herself a bit more aerodynamic- it was an instinctual thing- and jumped at the Tynamo, attempting to tackle the floating fish to the ground.

SO THE OTHER GIRL CHOSE TO MAKE THE FIRST MOVE.

perfect.. ammy waited until the deerling grew closer after a feeble growl, and then commanded, "dodge!" elmo darted out of the way quickly, and waited for ammy's next command. she thought quickly, because electric moves hardly effected grass types. so she knew exactly what to do, and she would have to do it quickly too. "thunderwave!"

elmo glowed faintly, then sparks surrounded it flying towards the deerling. it wouldn't matter whether it ran or not. there was no way thunderwave could miss, and then the small deer would be paralyzed. which would be perfect for the next move of elmo, the little tynamo. "tynamooooo!" ammy smiled, the plan was working just right. she had the battle on her side now, or so it seemed.

Lorelei muttered feeble curses as she saw the Tynamo fire off a thunderwave attack. 'Fell right into that trap.' She thought. 'I guess I can't really blame myself- I don't know hardly anything about these Unova-region Pokemon. I'll just have to remember from now on.' She made a mental note of the water & electric type and its move pool.

Ellie was a bit shocked- pardon the pun- as she felt the paralysis seep into her muscles. This was the first time she had ever experienced this. With jerky, shuddering movements, Ellie slowly backed away from the Tynamo, moving toward her trainer.

A text-book definition of paralysis flew to Lorelei's mind: 'The Pokémon's speed is reduced to approximately 25%. The Pokémon has an approximately 25% chance of being unable to attack each turn.' Unfortunately, in real-life situations it always seemed like the Pokemon was constantly unable to move. Or maybe Lorelei was just unlucky.

Well, might as well test that luck. "Ellie- if you can move, try a tackle again!" Lorelei shouted to her Deerling. A look of concentration crossed the Deerling's face, but- nothing happened. She just stared at the Tynamo.

AS AMMY HAD SO DEVILISHLY PLANNED, THE DEERLING

was unable to move even a muscle. now was their chance of course to lower its health substancially. "ok elmo, use tackle. and use it the hardest you can!" of course elmo was still super excited about using its last move, and it took it a few moments to react to ammy's voice. of course all ammy thought about was trouble, what if the deerling became unparalyzed? what is this? what if that? and she started scrambling, and shouted at elmo louder this time. "use tackle you dang fish!" of course she didn't mean to yell at the tynamo, of course, she was her pokemon. her pride. her joy.

but certainly this time the fish pokemon heard her trainer for it darted forward towards the deerling at a startling speed even ammy had never seen it float before. she watched her blue eyes wide open as the tynamo attempted to hit the deerling full on with her head, or body, or water it was elmo hit other pokemon with. ammy had never really payed attention. that probaly could help considering i want to be a better trainer...

Lorelei mentally sighed as she watched Ammy react gleefully to Ellie's paralysis. 'Well, it looks like she's gonna win. Since when do the bad guys win?' Lorelei thought glumly, watching as Ammy began ordering her Pokemon to use tackle on Ellie. 'Well... maybe she's not a bad guy... maybe she's just... having a bad hair day.' At that thought, she chuckled to herself. Then she heard Ammy yelling at her fish. 'Or she's a bad guy with a bad hair day.' She decided.

Ellie was- of course- hit with the tackle attack. Lorelei winced, sympathetic. At least they had gotten a growl attack in before that happened. Lorelei then shouted out a command to her poor Deerling. "Tackle!" Ellie twitched, and then twitched, and then twitched, and then jumped forward and attempting to tackle the fish.

"Great job, Ellie!" Lorelei called out. And Ellie despite her paralysis, managed to look pleased with herself.
