Added swarm levels & Poke[break]
Nike fought Slowpoke[break]
Pyra swept the rest

[attr="class","lionmantalks"]
As if to answer his question, he received a small tap on his shoulder from an middle aged man wearing an interesting Hawaiian shirt, well interesting was a word. "Excuse me, sir I heard that people around these parts battle for fun, am I right? If that's the case I would like to battle you... also because my wife is out getting her nails done and I got nothing to do right now..." Alphonso didn't really give Reggie any real time to respond, as evident by when Reginald tried to open his mouth the older man continued to ramble until the mechanic let out a small sigh. "Sure, I will battle. Was bidding my time anyways, so it wouldn't hurt."
[break][break]
Wouldn't be lying if that man jumped on the spot when Reggie accepted his challenge, was he really waiting that long for her nails to be done? Well something told the guy, that he wouldn't really get the answer of that question because right now he was squaring off with this man's slowpoke. "Alright go Nike!" Out came his iron Pokemon, and was ready to prove that water was nothing against the mighty steel. "Harden and ram into it." It was the best strategy that Reginald had against...well most things with the Aron. She believed to have some of the toughest defense, best to show them why.
[break][break]
As if the hardened shell amplified the headbutt, and it showed when the slowpoke reeled back from the impact. Although the thing he countered with was something that was gonna pose a problem; water. Granted it wasn't a ground of fighting move, but it still packed a nice punch to little Nike. "You got this girl, headbutt it's face to the ground!" It was the best strategy the two had, and they weren't gonna let a little water get in the way. Although Reginald really hoped that wasn't gonna be a running theme, because that would be a big problem. The slowpoke went with a yawn before the final headbutt from the now panting Nike.
[break][break]
"You did great, time for you to take a breather." With a word of praise and a smile, the mechanic returned the fiercest aron. When the heracross came out, it seemed like a good time to see what his more recent addition of the team could do. "Alright Pyra, show me what cha got!" Out came his new charmander, who looked around her surroundings a bit mainly because of all of the green. She wasn't used to that, and immediately held on her tail to make sure not to burn down the grass.
[break][break]
"Alright smoke things out and ember!" Pyra looked back at her trainer, with a worried look. 'B-but what about the trees and flowers?' Sure the smoke screen was fine, but the embers weren't, so instead she charged through the smoke with a claw instead which surprised both the trainers. She had an opportunity to let it rain fire, but chose to take the method that involved the lower chance of causing a forest fire. Actually caught the heracross by surprise as she scratched the bug, not before retaliation with a downwards night slash. "C'mon Pyra!" Now this was a perfect range, no embers should be able to bur anything, especially with the fat bug in the way. A point blank ember was enough to get that heracross down for the count.
[break][break]
"Atta' girl!" The chamander was a little pre-occupied musing to herself mainly by playing with some flowers with one claw, while her other was clutching her tail, and making sure it wasn't burning anything. She was a little surprised at the arrival of the last pokemon, as she thought she was done battling, as evident by the small flower crown that she managed to make for herself. "Alright, one last battle, then you can play in the flowers!" Reginald coaxed his pokemon into getting ready to battle once again, but since the Beldum was hovering about, she didn't have to worry as the embers would die out before they hit the ground. So away she went with the fire attacks while all that Beldum could do was try to take her down. Sadly for the steel type it didn't work out and Pyra was the victor with a small smile on her face.
[break][break]
There was a small call in the distance which made the older man jump, before yelling back that he was on his way. So Reginald wished him a good vacation before looking down at his charmander being all wide eyed at the flowers.

Huzzah first evolution on site \oAo/

[attr="class","lionmantalks"]
Now Pyra wasn't exactly how he thought having a chamander would be like, as he kinda expected the pokemon to have a more fiery attitude, and not well a little flower of sorts. Well that is how he could classify Pyra, as she spent the whole battle worrying about not burning things, hell even right now she was clutching onto that tail as she played in the flowers. Although that seemed to come to a grinding halt, as she got up from the bed of flowers with an cd in her claw? Must have been something she found while playing, so she handed it to him along with a tooth of sorts. "Thanks girl. Good job out there." He pat the lizard's head with a small smile, and before he knew it she was covered in a light glow.
[break][break]
Reginald has never experienced a pokemon evolution so he was mostly confused at the whole situation and wondering what happened to the charmander. "U-uh you alright there?" Was it a new move of sorts? After the glow faded, out came a slightly taller and bigger Pyra, who greeted him with a small happy yip of sorts. Reggie who was still a little confused, pat the head of the newly evolved charmeleon again, "Really good job, especially if this happened." There was no real doubt that it was still Pyra, by the way she was holding her tail, still afraid of lighting the place on fire.

Pyra burned the hoothoot[break]
Nike slaped the aron[break]
Kerb barked at jynx, leading with Nike again

[attr="class","lionmantalks"]
This evolution must have drew the attention of a couple individuals, mainly a gardener who asked to test the Charmeleon's mettle. The only condition was that they fought in a place with less greenery, mainly on both Pyra's and Lily's request. So Reggie wasn't one to complain, and besides it would be a good way to see how the newly evolved salamander would fight. The first pokemon was a hoothoot, well it wasn't really something he would expect of a gardener, but hey it was still a battle. "Alright, lay down some smoke, and dragon rage." A perfect way of starting a battle, then with a new move, and the best part was that since there wasn't any forestry to worry about, Pyra didn't need to hold her tail, and focus on the battle.
[break][break]
The most annoying part of the battle was the reflect that the hoothoot managed to bring out, it would make the embers a lot less effective, but Pyra was comfortable using her claws, as evidence by the previous battle, add in the fact that dragon rage always did a set amount of damage was a big help. It wasn't until it started to make this loud racket that she started to get violent, mainly to stop it from making that racket. Using another scratch when the owl tried to peck, made the bird collapse. With a smile on her face, she made her way back to Reggie's side with a look of pride and kinda hung her head over at the mechanic, expecting a pat on the head. "Good job girl." The trainer was happy to oblige.
[break][break]
When the aron was sent out, Reginald had to hold his charmeleon back as she could use a break after three battles in a row, so he decided to send out Nike for a mirror match. Sure it wouldn't be the most interesting thing to watch, mainly because of Nike's thing of using harden before attacking to maximize her defense. Granted, this aron was a little bit more on the offensive side with a roar and metal claw. The only thing was, the mud slap proved to be more effective in the long run, mainly due to the maximum advantage it had. Proving once again that Nike was the strongest shield, and nothing was gonna stop her.
[break][break]
The last pokemon was a jynx. Just what kind of pokemon was she carrying around? Regardless Reginald never did like the ice type, mainly because it kinda creeped him out, so he sent out Kerberos to finish the battle. The dog was ready for just about anything, well except for a draining kiss from a Jynx. The pooch had the appropriate look on his face, one of confusion at the whole attack. So he did what any normal pokemon would do, and to burn it to stop it from trying to kiss him. The Jynx tried to counter the ember attack with some powder snow, but apparently she didn't get the memo that fire melted ice. So a couple of those and that Jynx wasn't gonna kiss no more.
[break][break]
"Great battle, thanks for the practice." The gardener also thanked him for the opportunity before fading away into the forest, and leaving the man in the clearing, and msot of his pokemon returned except for Nike who still seemed ready for a fight.

Befriended, Nike still out

[attr="class","lionmantalks"]
At this point, Reginald was mostly still hanging out in the clearing ,all while Nike started to examine the area, mainly to help her exhaust some steam after that latest battle. There was still some adrenaline pumping into her system from fighting that fellow Aron. She had to prove that she was the mighty shield, and that other one was nothing more then a chump with a big mouth. The man found it kinda funny the way that she was pacing, it was a little hilarious to watch, with a small chuckle escaping from the mechanic.
[break][break]
He heard a small commotion happening to the side, he didn't really pick much most of it but it sounded like someone was upset. The sound of a door being slammed and a vehicle driving off, in a hurry judging by the sound of the tires burning out into the dirt. "C'mon Nike, let's see what that was about." He motioned to his little steel type to go with him as he started to make his way towards that commotion. See what's up, and see if there any problems.
[break][break]
What he saw was a trapinch, one that was mostly confused on where it was judging by the way it kept on darting it's head around. "Now that's something you don't see around these parts..." Wasn't really wrong, as they were typically seen around Pyrite and the S.S. Libra from what he heard. Most have been left here by whoever left in that car. Abandoned in the middle of the forest, not a good place for this trapinch at all, and at this point it left a frown on his face. "Aww, left you out here on your own?" He asked in a soft tone, as he reached in his pocket and grabbed some of his snacks from when he was at the markets and placed them in a place for the abandoned ground type could see.
[break][break]
At the sight of the food, she immediately scurried over to eat the food that Reginald had left, which made the trainer smile. "Well hey, if you want to, I can take ya in. Could get much more food then this, and don't have to worry about being left alone." The brunette would feel bad if he left it, especially out here on it's own. The Pokemon tilted her head before giving a quick nod, and the man took out a pokeball and gave it a quick tap.
