Welcome. :3 It's a great place to start out with learning how to battle! Head to the Competitive Battling Center immediately and... well... okay maybe not, instead head to PC's Pokemon Online server (info found in red text @ announcement) where we can help you a lot easier w/ learning and then afterwards post a team in the forum and so on. Competitive battling is definitely a fun thing, so you made a good choice in deciding to join for that partially! But yeah there's a lot to do in that section, so just have a look around, and hopefully I see you on the server/in the forum in general soon. Also if you have any questions about the forum as a whole, feel free to ask any of us with bold usernames!
