Nika Valentine Spider was struck by the blades of air, tumbling over several times before regaining her footing, glaring up at Skarmony. Thanks to her typing Spider wasn't as vulnerable to flying types as most bug types were, but that didn't mean they could just shrug them off and ignore...

Nika Valentine Nika failed to thank Tristen for her courtesy, oblivious to the fact that it was such. Her focus was entirely on the battle and the optimal strategy. Steel types were notoriously tough nuts to crack, which meant Screech could be a viable opening gambit to soften Skarmony up...

Nika Valentine So, Skarmony was first... steel types could shrug off bug type moves, and flying type moves would be particularly effective against bug type pokemon. Steel types were weak to fire, fighting and ground... but flying types were immune to ground and she had no fighting type...

Nika Valentine Nika squared her shoulders, her glasses flashing as the sunlight hit them. She had been considering how she would deal with that Skarmony if it came to a battle, and it seemed now that it might. Tristen had given her the option to decline, giving her more time to cook up a...

Nika Valentine Nika pushed her cap back on her head as Spider popped her head out of one trouser leg before vanishing again. Nobody here had asked her about her time as a Trainer before coming to the Academy. "I spent quite a bit of time wandering around the Unova region, challenging...

Nika Valentine "I've been reasonably deep into the forest, though I've heard it's apparently dangerous if you go too far towards the center. I imagine the volcano is a smart area to look for fire types," Nika mused, "and I'm not sure about electric types. A lot of them, like Joltik, feed on...

Nika Valentine "You may be able to request a certain class, if you feel like your development is being hindered. I imagine you could arrange extra sessions with particular teachers as well." Nika didn't seem to notice, or at least pay much attention, as Spider made her way down the back of...

Nika Valentine Tristen certainly had an interesting philosophy on how to work alongside her pokemon, though Nika had encountered similair ones before. She often kept a pokemon out with her when travelling through dangerous areas but perhaps it was a habit she ought to employ more often...

Nika Valentine Nika tilted her head forward so that Spider and Gabe could get a good look at each other, confident that the Joltik could keep her perch. Spider gazed at the Croagunk, just as curious as he was about meeting a strange new pokemon. "Joltik can range in size, but they're often...

No complaints from me Yellow. Really getting into the swing of Nika's development, which is great.

Nika Valentine Tristen called down some sort of metal bird; another pokemon Nika was unfamilair with. She simply nodded her agreement - there was no sense in wasting words. Nika began to make her way through the crowds of people, taking a seperate path to Tristen. That pokemon of hers was...

Lincoln West "Uh, okay." Lincoln shrugged. "I'm not really sure how we're gonna manage that, but we can try I guess. Right Jackson?" "Don." The pokemon grumbled. "Alright, so like, let's give it a go." Casually putting his hands in his pockets Lincoln turned his back so he wouldn't be able...

Nika Valentine Nika tucked the Pokedex back into her satchel, listening to what Tristen had to say about her Croagunk... did she actually smell of bugs? Pokemon usually had much sharper senses than humans did, but the idea that types had their own smell was something she had never...

Nika Valentine "I'm a bug type specialist," Nika replied absently, reaching into her satchel. "So they're the only type of pokemon I have, unless you count secondary types." She seemed to find what she was looking for and turned her attention back to Tristen and her Croagunk, pointing a...

Nika Valentine At least the girl didn't seem angry with her, which was better than she could have hoped for. Especially considering how confident she came across - Nika envied her that. She was rarely ruffled or shaken anymore, but when it came to social situations like these she knew how...
