( Exercise: write a pokemon battle )
---
Author's comments (on the fic):
Well, it is kind of tedious, isn't it? I guess that's why most fanfic writers just leave out the battle part or cut it short. And I didn't really get their personality right.
Author's rants (on pokemon data):
The pokemon stats, skills and descriptions are freaking contradictory. Dragonite and Garchomp are said to be some super speed pokemon, yet they cannot learn extremespeed naturally. In order to have an extremespeed dratini/dragonair/dragonite one has to either get the one from the dragon's den elder in Crystal or chain breed it. Somehow, arcanine, a pokemon said to be very fast and has extremespeed, has very low base speed. Crobat and weavile has way higher base speed than dragonite, garchomp and arcanine, yet cannot learn extremespeed. Yes, three pokemons known for their high speed are, in game, slower than a bat. Dratini's signature move is supposed to dragonbreath according to its description, yet it can no longer learn the move by level up or by TM, having to learn it from breeding or dream world. Garchomp is supposed to be able to fly, yet it cannot learn fly in the games, but Tropius, a freaking banana tree-dinosaur thing, can learn fly -.-a The list goes on and on. Game and story segregation much?
