(Dugtrio 105/105 Dodge: 1)
The leaves struck the ground and sank a few feet, the ground not as compact as it looked. There was a pause, before a slight rumbling as Dugtrio shot out directly under Seth, the Pokemon gleefully calling out as it did so. Elton tried to hold back a laugh at the Pokemon's antics before responding
"That's a perfectly fine reason. Some don't seem to mind, but in groups it may get a little crazy. I only have one Pokemon with a Nickname, and that's because a friend had named it before he passed it on. It's an Ursaring named Charles"

[Seth - Roserade Lvl: 23 HP: 15/120 Atk: 70 Def: 55 SpAtk: 125 SpDef: 105 Spd: 90]
Seth gave a cry as it was thrown up into the air from the powerful blow, finally hitting the ground hard a few moments later and rolling.
"Seth! Use Mega Drain!" Lecce called, looking prepared to jump into he fray himself. He was almost sure Seth was down for the count, until it struggled to its feet. Looking worse for wear, leafy cape torn and nicked from the hard landing, the Roserade began to take on a green aura. Seth's eyes were narrowed on the opponent, and with sharp teeth gritted, it fired another Magical Leaf at the Dugtrio.
Lecce grimaced slightly, knowing how bad it looked to have a pokemon ignore its trainer, trying to not look embarrassed or overly concerned. While the Roserade was usually in kind enough temperament, he was well aware that Seth was very proud of its abilities; it seemed to be taking the miss as a personal insult, even blocking out his command and the instinct to heal itself. He just hoped that the move hit this time, Seth couldn't take another hit like that.

(Dugtrio 0/105 Dodge: 1)
The Attack did hit this time, even coming up as Super Effective with a tad of overkill. The three Dugtrio looked shocked for a moment before kinda falling into each other in a small heap, Elton returning them to their Pokeball. The trainer was a little unhappy to see that Seth had disobeyed an order, as it didn't reflect well on either the fighter or the Trainer.
"OK, good job. Please return it to your Pokeball. I think that's enough excitement for one evening"
That match left a bad taste in his mouth, but he only had one more Pokemon he was willing to battle with, and that was if they went one win each. He'd just have to deal with it.

Lecce nodded, quickly returning Seth for the time being. Later he'd give it a thorough talking to while giving it and Nero a proper rest. He'd need to think of a better training regimen as well. Perhaps he should look into taking the gym challenge on his vacation days...
He looked to the commander apologetically as he approached, wary of the tunnels and ditches made in the battle. "...I'm sorry. Usually Seth doesn't go so overboard... Will your pokemon be all right?"
He was careful to keep the disappointment from his tone. He really was concerned for the pokemon; it was only meant for fun more than anything, and they'd fought well, both of them, with confidence and energy. But as selfish as it was, he knew that if there wasn't strict control over his team, that he didn't yet warrant consideration for a promotion.

"My Pokemon will be fine. Thank you for asking"
Elton led him a little deeper into the forest, working their way up hill. His flowing mane of hair began to lift a little as the wind picked up. They were climbing up the far eastern side of Mt Moon, but only by a little. After about five minutes, Elton stopped at a cliff overlooking Cerulean City and its inhabitants, glistening and glowing in the distance. The moon was making its way up the night sky as he turned his back to Lecce
"We live in dark times, Lecce. Team Rocket grows stronger by the day. They'll probably absorb some of the smaller crime families in Johto and Sinnoh, maybe Unova. We're going to be facing the greatest thread our world has faced in our lifetime"
When he spun back again, his voice was a bit sturdier. A bit more of a regal tone, maybe
"Can I trust you to upheld the law? To protect the weak and the innocent? To do what is required to bring peace and order to our troubled world?"

Lecce stood straighter at the statement. He knew the Rockets were powerful, getting more active recently, but he hadn't that it was that bad yet. All since the last known leader, Giovanni, had officially left power... or been removed from it unwillingly. It made him wonder slightly; just who was this new leader or leaders that they could be expanding so rapidly?
He firmed his expression, not turning his eyes away from the other. Perhaps it was simply the view and the exercise of the climb, but this felt to him an important moment in his life.
"Sir. I have tried my best to do so since I was a boy. As I mentioned once before, it was my reason for joining the force; to protect and defend those that need it the most, whether that is a trainer and their pokemon or the world. Whatever I am capable of doing, you have my word that I shall use my strength with peace in mind."

Elton nodded, looking at Lecce sternly for a moment as he thought for a minute or two. When the moment was over, he gave a smile and approached him, putting a hand out for Lecce to shake.
"I have your word then. Make me proud, Sergeant Lecce. Just be ready: you and your team will have to make sure you're in it for the long haul"
((Your level cap is 50 now, and you can have a full team of six))

It took a moment for Elton's words to register. Lecce gaped at him, mouth working without words before a smile of relief and surprise shown through. He took the hand with both of his own, shaking it excitedly.
"T-thank you, Sir! I won't make you regret this!"
He didn't wish to be rude, but his mind was already racing to what needed to be done to prepare himself for the new position. There was always paperwork and new rank studs for his uniform, the information he still needed to finish reading on the latest Pokemon, extended training with his team... At least the latter he could begin on the way to-
"Ah," he started, remembering the battle he had coming up. He looked around for the time; he still needed to double-check his preparations for the battle and trip to Viridian City in the morning. "Sir, do you have any suggestions for the battle against Blackburn? I ask because you're more experienced than I am with powerful opponents."
((I'M SO SORRY RL stuff keeps going on and then my browser crashed several times when I last tried to reply. orz))

"My advice? Well, he's cocky and will probably focus purely on attacking you. Status ailments and hurting his defence or attack should help you on those fronts. His Sableye is not as much of a threat as his other Pokemon, so that shouldn't be an issue. You should worry about his Blaziken, however. It will still be a bit of a challange, especially if you choose to attack it with Bug types"
Elton thought a little as he looked higher up the mountain. His Entei was watching over them, pawing at the ground before running towards the top, roaming as a lookout before Elton turned his focus back to Lecce
"How about you and I train some more later, and I help you prepare? You're going to need a variety of Pokemon to take on someone like Blackburn, and I do enjoy our time together. What do you say?"

(If I may say something, how does Elton know about Chaos` Blaziken, Hellfire? XD Then again, Hellfire was his first Pokemon and Chaos is famous after all so I guess everyone knows about the Blaziken so I guess that would be the case.)

(I would go with that and that the Police do in fact tract criminal activities. Either way, I do understand that it shows a bit of an omnipotence on Elton's part, which I know might come off as powerplaying. But it's not, promise *Strained laughter*)

((that's probably my fault, I'm the one who asked. orz))
Lecce nodded at the advice. He was planning to bring one of his bug-types into his permanent team, even though he hadn't decided whom yet; but that choice would probably be made after the battle, depending on the time he arrived. He would try to find some information on this Blackburn on his way to Viridian, and see about what team he was last recorded using before flitting below the radar. After all, the only one he knew of currently was Sableye.
He blinked in surprise at the offer. "I'd like that, Sir. But the rest of my pokemon stay in Viridian and look after things there for me and my folks... They seemed to prefer the more open spaces." He gave a sheepish look. "And a few playful ones were better at spooking trainers than would be good in a city like Cerulean."

Elton gave a small smile and a nod, leaning against a tree for a moment. He ran a hand along his neck, rubbing a small joint ache before turning back to Lecce. There was another pause before Elton spoke up
"I have faith in you, Arden Lecce. You will make the right choices. I must bid you goodnight, however. There are still works to be done tonight"

Lecce nodded at the statement, moving his gaze to the scenery a moment. He was a bit embarrassed at the vote of confidence. "Yes, sir. Have a good evening."
He gave a small, polite bow in thanks for the evening, before turning to head away from the peaceful area, enjoying the atmosphere just a while longer before refocusing on his plans for the evening. And in the morning, he would start the long walk home to Viridian.
