Once the Ledyba had started to attack Adrian and his team, the woman had started to watch, somewhat concerned. They did great, though and she was smiling and about to congratulate him when he yelled that there were too more. She turned and returned all her Pokemon, telling them that they did great but needed a rest now. Sure, Misty was really the only one that got badly injured, but... that would be different in a moment if she didn't return them.
"All right, Nori, come on out." Out popped a tiny little Mareep, who bleated and gazed at the little bugs that were coming at her. Well, one was not so small as it was a Ledian. Still, she didn't seem concerned with their presence even when they moved in to attack. The Ledyba used Reflect to help protect them, though they didn't realize this would do... literally nothing. The Ledian attempted to use Supersonic, but it was ineffective. The Ledyba was the first to actually attempt to damage the electric-type, Tackling her. She bleated her disapproval, but didn't seem very hurt. The Ledian tried to right this with a Double-edge. This did cause the Mareep to express pain, but so too did the attacker. It recoiled, to which the Ledyba attempted another Tackle.
Nori shook herself off a little and Jemma smiled softly. "Doing good. Now Charge." The sheep shook herself again, causing sparks to emanate from her wool and cause a soft glow throughout. "Ready?"
"Meeh!"
"Discharge," came the instruction and the air filled with electricity. It arched left and right and even backward, sparking near Jemma but not shocking her. It did shock the two ladybugs, though, causing both to collapse, fainted. Once the electricity had calmed down, the woman moved and knelt beside the Mareep, who set her front feet on Jemma's leg and bleated her delight as she waited for praise.
Jemma giggled and pet the little Pokemon's head. "You did great, Nori. I'm so proud of you." The Pokemon's tail wagged, causing little static electricity sparks in the wool near her rump. The woman then turned her head toward Adrian and grinned. "Your Pokemon work so well together. I'm very impressed with them," she'd offer. She'd already been impressed with Scolo, but the rest of them were just as fantastic, regardless of their size or tenacity -- poor little Wimpod.
Overview: Ledyba used Reflect Ledian used Supersonic - Missed Ledyba used Tackle 8% damage (Nori 92%) Ledian used Double-edge 36% damage (Nori 56%) (Ledian 88%) Ledyba used Tackle 8% damage (Nori 48%) Nori used Charge Nori used Discharge 139% damage (Ledyba fainted) 101% damage (Ledian fainted)

He watched as a third battle would unfold, this time it was just a Mareep against a Ledian and a Ledyba. The Mareep had the type advantage, for the most part, but it was outnumbered. In the end, it pulled through and Adrian nodded a bit in approval, feeling a tad sorry for beating up the bugs... but they had started it. He would've loved to have taken one back to the gym with him though. A useful specimen to help improve the bio-dome that was his gym.
"Thank you. Your Pokemon did well themselves." He nodded, holding onto the cowering Wimpod that was still clinging to his chest like there would be no tomorrow left if he were to let go. Slowly, he worked on returning all of the Pokemon to their correct Pokeballs, save for Lepis and Scolo, and turned back to Jemma. "How are your Pokemon holding up?" His Pokemon's friendship and cooperation played a key role in his gym battles.
If his Pokemon didn't get along and cooperate, as well as didn't understand who the alphas were, then they could potentially step out of line and stop listening. He had to be strict with them, but not too strict. He used Lepis as an example. If you were too cruel to the cowardly Pokemon, then you'd just make it freak out more and stop listening. It took tender loving care.

With a smile at his returned compliment, Jemma gave the Mareep a little scritch under the chin. "They're doing all right. Misty got the brunt of it, looks like. I think Avery is still okay, just a little bit disoriented still. PinPin looked fine and Nori... well, she can take a little bit of a beating." The blonde giggled softly and scratched the side of her head lightly.
"Now that PinPin is evolved, she doesn't need anymore training today. I was mostly hoping to get them close to evolution. So... Avery, Misty, Nori, and Devi are the ones left for today." She smiled a bit and released the other three she was referring to. The Sewaddle shook himself off, the Budew was scooped up immediately, Nori bleated, and Devi... The Nincada was an interesting shade of purple rather than white. She scuttled right up Jemma and right onto the woman's shoulder.
Jemma had come prepared for a day of training and potions were absolutely necessary for that. Thus, she pulled out two Hyper Potions to use one on Misty and one on Nori soon after. "Do any of your Pokemon need healing?" The woman turned to look at Adrian, holding out a Hyper Potion in case he did need it.
Overview: Misty 90% (Hyper Potion) Nori 96% (Hyper Potion

"Evolution can be a tricky thing to achieve for some, but I have faith in your ability to get them there." Quietly, Adrian lifted a hand to his chin, scratching his jaw as he watched the Pokemon. The smell of the spray was familiar, and for a moment, he was reminded of home, oddly enough. Seeming to drift onto though, he snapped back when she finished working on her own pokemon and offered a Hyper potion out to him. "No thank you. They're all doing fine."
Honestly, they had all been pit against much more terrifying things than what they just battled. Save his Caterpie of course, but his original six had seen what the Pokemon in the exams could do, and learned the hard way to toughen up. So in reality, once again, these Pokemon weren't too much for them handle... thankfully.
Moving his hand from his chin, he looked at Jemma and raised his eyebrows. "Have you ever considered the Gym challenges?" They weren't perfect, but he honestly believed that these guys, if they worked hard enough, could be on their way to something great.

Jemma smiled bashfully and stood up with Misty in her arms still. "Well... I want what's best for them. It only makes sense that evolution is best." Returning her Hyper Potion to her pack, she looked between her Pokemon proudly. At his question, the woman looked utterly shocked. That is, right up until her visage became a bright red. "You... r-really think I could do that?" She was sure her Pokemon were strong enough, but she felt like she was lacking in far too many areas to truly accomplish a Gym challenge. "I never did, honestly. No matter how strong my Pokemon get, I feel like... I'd hold them back," she admitted and reached up to rub her cheek, trying to rid herself of the warm feeling in her face.

Whoops, made her blush. With a small grin and helping Lepis up onto his shoulder, he stuffed his hands into his pockets and stepped over towards Jemma as she stood up. "Of course. You're on the proper track. Your pokemon may fight with each other but we've all been there with that. Some Pokemon just don't get along at first, or at all." Taking his hands out of his pocket, he brushed them off, took Lepis into one hand, extended one hand to shake... then was cut off.
Lepis started glowing, and quicker than he could put him down, Lepis evolved, knocking Adrian backwards and landing on top of him. The Golisopod laid there for a bit, obviously blown away that it now had legs and arms, and that it was bigger than his master now. Adrian grunted from underneath the Pokemon and laid there until he got off of him. Once he was free, he pushed his self to his feet and put a hand to his chin again. "I can't believe I made an error in naming you. I forgot that your species mocks and is similar to that of a Giant Isopod. We'll work in a proper name for you later. Consider it evolving your name too."
Turning back to Jemma, he sucked in a breath and offered his hand. "You're actually coming along better than most. I'm one of the Alterna Gym Leaders and personally, I like to watching people and things grow, which was one of the reasons that started my fascination with bugs." He said, motioning up to the Golisopod next to him, the Pokemon obviously still blown away by it's arms and legs.

Jemma smiled, still a bit red in the face, but a little bit less so as he spoke. She was doing well! That was great to hear. All of a sudden, Lepis was evolving and the woman jumped back as the Pokemon grew right on top of its trainer. For whatever reason, Misty did much the same thing. Except she didn't grow so much and didn't flatten Jemma, instead just growing slightly and flowering. It seemed both Pokemon were too wound up right after the battle and now they had calmed down and *poof*, evolution.
The woman couldn't help but start to laugh. "Oh, wow. What timing." Misty ruffled herself a little, mildly insulted that her trainer would laugh, but once she got a congratulatory hug, she was appeased. Then she looked up to Adrian and shook his offered hand. At his explanation, she looked a bit shocked. "I had no idea! I--" She bit her lip. She had been about to apologize for taking up his time, but he said he enjoyed watching others grow... so she'd given him an opportunity, not taken time away from anything more important.
"Thank you... for helping us. Maybe..." She looked to Misty and smiled, reiterating, "Maybe we will try to challenge some of the gyms. If one of the leaders thinks we're on the right track, then we can't be doing too badly." The blonde giggled, a tinge of red returning to her cheeks. This had turned out to be quite the experience!

Adrian looked up at his Golisopod when it finally approached him, legs a little shaky, but he made it, looking down at Adrian now, all six of his arms moving to pick his master up in a sloppy hug. "Ah, yes. Your naming predicament. How does Cirolanidae sound to you? Ciro for short?" He asked the large Pokemon, still in the grip of it's hug until he put him down, making a satisfied rumbling noise. "That's a yes then!" He chirped, petting the nose of his Golisopod happily, bouncing back from his Pokemon.
"It's not a problem. If you ever need help, don't be afraid to ask me. Actually, I think I have a book on bug type Pokemon on me if you want it?" He was pretty sure it was the one he wound up with a copy of. Actually, he was one hundred percent sure that he wound up with a copy of this one. Looking to the side bag, which he forgot was there for an honest second, he stared at it, looking inside and nodding.
"Yea. This is actually a copy of one that I already have at home." His bookshelves were packed and honestly, he could never keep up with which book he already had.

After smiling at the interaction between the man and his newly-evolved Pokemon, Jemma actually turned her full attention to her own Pokemon. "Look at you~ Finally evolved. Done being the baby?" The Roselia looked crestfallen, causing the woman to laugh softly. "I'll take that as a no, then. Don't worry, you're still my little Misty. You'll always be the baby."
Looking relieved, the Pokemon hopped from her trainer's arms and spun in a circle to show off to the other Pokemon. Now that Jemma thought about it, that meant Misty didn't really need anymore training today. Her final evolution was triggered by a stone. Looking back to Adrian, she smiled and nodded her head, taking the book gingerly. "Thank you! This will help a lot. I don't specialize in Bug-types like you do, so any little bits of information are fantastic. Avery was just a spur of the moment catch. I didn't... even think about whether I should or not, honestly. From my research, his final evolution is very elegant, though." She smiled, then felt said Sewaddle starting to make his way up to perch on her head. This caused Jemma to grin. He was warming up to her!

Adrian had pretty much sat down on a rock to take a short break while Ciro worked his legs and arms out, getting the hang of them. He watched as yet another one of her Pokemon evolved, and grinned just a bit. "You don't need to specialize to take it, but it should explain quite a bit to you about the bug types you do own if you should decide you want it." He stated simply, obviously far from offended from the decline.
His eyebrows raised though as some Pokemon approached. One of the Pokemon was an absolutely chipper Delibird that skipped right over to Adrian and reached into it's tail, pulling out something for Adrian, dropping a nugget into his hand. Addy's face was absolutely stunned and confused. The mixture of emotions earned a head tilt from the bird before he changed it to a small smile. "My thanks little guy. Here. Have a snack." Reaching into his bag, he pulled out an extra snack he had and passed it to the stranger Pokemon, watching it waddle away while nibbling happily. He always wound up going home with almost over half of the snacks left, his Pokemon just didn't eat as much on travels as they did at home.
The other two pokemon, on the other hand, were still off where they had entered, watching the humans. One seemed wary while the other.. he couldn't quite tell from this angle. "Hm. Looking to get some more training in?" He honestly wished he had a Vespiquen of his own so he could show her a few tricks with the bug type moves with a direct example. But that's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Jemma just smiled and nodded in understanding as she looked at the cover of the book. Then she would tuck it away in her bag and look at her Pokemon. At least the ones she could. Avery still sat upon her head and both he and the human looked utterly bewildered by the Delibird. As they watched Adrian and his interaction with the gifting bird, there suddenly came a noise from behind them. Jemma screeched her surprise and between the shock of her noise and the startling presence of a Pokemon behind them, the Sewaddle began to glow. He became white and then reshifted into his evolution, much to their surprise.
The Delibird blinked at them and just reached out a wing that already held a small sack. Jemma carefully held out her hand and smiled. "Sorry about that. Thank you!" The bird offered a smile and a nod before hurrying off. At the question of continuing training or not, the woman looked over and nodded. "I'm definitely interested. Avery doesn't need more training today, but Nori and Devi could still use some..." She considered the two Pokemon off in the distance before looking to Adrian. "Would you like to work together this time, or take them on separately?"

"Reasonable. Paguroidea could also go for a little more training. His growth rates are impressive and with his current situation with his shell and beginning to grow out of it have actually started to become sort of troublesome. With his size though, he seems like he's pushing the threshold for evolution that Dwebble usually see... -" blah blah blah, he tapered off in tone, his voice becoming a mutter as he placed Pagu in front of him and knelt to observe the growth up close. Muttering something about it being risky to battle with his current shell size, and something else about it also being safe in the long run because if he evolves he should be able to burrow and form his self a boulder with ease.
Standing up straight, he looked over at Jemma once again. "My apologies. If you wish, we can work together. It would give Pagu some ample warm ups for double battles. He hasn't seen too many proper ones in his time." Usually when Adrian was in a double battle, it was just him with two pokemon, not with an accompanying trainer.
Turning towards the wild Pokemon and placing his hands on his hips, he and Pagu watched as the wild pokemon considered them, the Dwebble obviously seeming to come off as an open challenge for battle. Which was good, they weren't too stupid compared to some wild Pokemon.

Jemma actually did try to listen to his lengthy explanation of his Dwebble and the size of its shell and how it should be close to evolving when compared to other Dwebble... but only some of it really stuck. She just smiled lightly and nodded her head when he agreed to do a double battle. "All right then, Devi. Let's do this," she remarked.
The Nincada shuffled forward, a strange purple variation from the normal. She moved to stand next to Pagu, waving her little claw at him in greeting. "Go ahead and Dig underground to get us started, Devi." The little bug jumped up and dug herself into the ground quickly, making her way toward the opponents. She'd end up popping up out of the ground behind the Pokemon once Pagu actually started the battle. Or maybe the wild Pokemon would do that, who knew?

Adrian watched as the Munchlax just up and tucked itself into some sort of ball-like shape and started a roll out, directly for Pagu. "Iron Defense!" The Munchlax didn't give him near enough time to pay attention to the Nincada and observe it before it began to dig. The coloration of it was curious and it had him even more curious. When this was over, he'd have to ask about that Pokemon.
The Munchlax crashed into Pagu, knocking the defending Pokemon back some, earning an irritated hiss. Whatever was up with this Munchlax, it didn't seem too happy about the two pokemon approaching them. "How aggressive." Adrian huffed, eyes locked on the Munchlax in front of him and his ears open for the sounds of a Nincada burrowing. The Hoppip on the other hand, didn't make much noise, but it's color stood out against the background. So it was hard to lose track of that.
