Seeing as how it's been about seven months since the last time we did this, it's high time for another...


TEST DRIVE MEME!

Post with the characters you're thinking of apping in to see how they do! Either they've been here a while, are just arriving, or anything you want!

Have fun!

Re: Hinata Hyuga | Naruto

Hey, don't sweat it. Gym leaders are really nothing special.

[Says the girl with fifty-seven Pokémon of various types...]

I haven't lost one yet. A weapon's only as good as its user, after all, and if you show as much spirit in fighting them as you did in our training matches, you and your team will be fine!

[gentledheart]

[And her words earn her a smile from Hinata in appreciation.]

I can do that. Even though it's my third match, I'm still a little nervous.

[usedswift]

Don't be. March right in there and let them know you mean business.

[She cracks another smile and rests her hand on her hip, tossing a Pokéball in one hand.]

So who're you going up against this time, anyway?

[gentledheart]

Okay. [She nods. Tenten is right but she's still working on her various confidence issues even if she's come a long way.]

Lt. Surge? He uses electric types. [Her gaze shifts to her Oshawott concern etched in the thin line of her mouth.]

How do you stay so calm leading up to the match?

[usedswift]

Lt. Surge, huh...? He's one of the few I haven't fought myself yet, so I don't have that many tips. If they're Electric types though, you should be good with Water.

[She crouches down to extend her fingers to the Oshawott, wiggling them a little to try to get its attention, before she glances up at the question.]

Staying calm? [she repeats, with a bit of puzzlement. Then she just shrugs.] I guess I can because I always make sure I'm prepared. You know, spend a day or two in the city, watch some battles, try to scout out the Gym. Beyond that, you've just gotta have faith in your team.

[gentledheart]

I thought he would have the advantage because they're electric types. [Maybe she was wrong about that conception. Either way she would trust Tenten she'd been in this strange place much longer than she had.

Her Oshawott on the other hand happily waddles his way over to Tenten and coos hoping the other girl would pet him.]

Would you like to come with me to watch a few battles? A second pair of eyes to analyze his strategy might be useful.

[usedswift]

Yeah, that's how to do it! Beat them down with type advantages, make them regret that they only use one type!

[Oops, her Team Gai attitude is showing. She clenches a quick fist before reaching to ruffle the fur atop Oshawott's head.]

You bet I'll go watch it with you. Let's gather as much intel as possible.
