Description
Part 2 of the Round 2 entry for #Pokemon-UBFIn this part, Lauren and Gracedia "Grace" Skybreeze battle it out with Korey (Lauren's Mawile) and Gowsin (Gracedia's Scrafty).
After the Pokemon battle with Kira, Lauren was at the Pokemon center checking on Duke. He seemed fine, as if he never fought in the battle against Tass. 'What a relief...' Lauren thought. She then put Duke back in his Pokeball, and went outside.
As soon as she got outside, she saw a girl around her age slouching with her arm crossed, leaning on a tree nearby. She was petite, had short brown hair, and had a blue cape...with the Team Plasma logo. Lauren noticed this immediately, and got frightened. "Y-you're not going to hurt me, right....?" she asked.
"Why would I do that?" the girl replied, a little confused.
"Well....you're a part of Team Plasma right? They steal other Pokemon, claiming they'll l-liberate them!" At that thought, Lauren began to shudder, causing her wheelchair to shake.
The girl finally realized what Lauren was talking about, and began to chuckle. "Oh, I'm a part of Team Plasma, but not to an extreme." she explained, "I just heard you were on the list of people to battle in Round 2, and I kind of figured you'd be here."
"I..I see..." Lauren replied.
"Name's Gracedia, but you can call me Grace." the girl said, extending her arm for a handshake.
"My name's Lauren, nice to meet you." she replied, shaking Grace's hand.
"Likewise." Grace replied levelheadedly. "So would you like to battle me?"
Lauren nodded slightly, and sent out Korey, her Mawile, and Grace sent out her Scrafty, Gowsim.
***
"Gowsin, show them what you're made of!" Grace exclaimed.
Gowsin then hit Korey upside the head with a strong Brick Break attack, causing the Mawile to fall on her butt. Suddenly, she began to tear up, and cry. "Korey, no!" Lauren shouted.
"Um...what's going on here?" Grace asked herself. 'Why did the Mawile's personality suddenly change...?'
Then, Gowsin finished off the battle with a strong Head Smash attack, causing Korey to fly in the air. She had a little bit of strength to stand up, but then fell down on the ground, unconscious. Lauren picked Korey up, and asked if she was okay. Korey nodded, then fell asleep on Lauren's lap, using her bare stomach as a headrest.
"I-I'm so sorry..." Lauren explained to Grace, "Korey's still just a baby, so that's why she was crying before."
"No, it's cool. That's what I thought anyway." Grace replied.
"I should be heading off now."
"No, I have something to give you."
Grace dug into her pocket, reaching for a green token with a leaf engraved in the center. "You may not have won," she said, "but this is for raising such a happy Pokemon."
Lauren was speechless at first, but finally replied, "Thanks so much...."
"Good luck in the rest of the tournament."
"Thanks...I'll probably just take her home now."
"Okay, bye."
So yeah, that's it
I was working until 1 AM with the drawing itself (because I'm one of those people who doesn't sleep until something's done), and I think it took me two hours to type the story and research Grace's personality. So I hope you like it

Thank you!
I was kind of worried about drawing this, because since Grace's description is kind of vague, I was afraid this would be out of her character

Yeah, from what I've read from her other entry, she's a calm girl and she joined Team Plasma, but not to an extreme, so I tried to capture that. But I'm glad I got her personality well enough ^w^

You're improving more and more~
You did a good job on the background (especially the little lines of grass look really well done) ... And the expressions, both PokΓ©mon and humans, are very ... Uhm, expressive!
Korey looks really sweet!~

Aw, I am? Thank you...
LOL, thanks XD I actually followed a SAI tutorial on grass, since my version of the grass looked too plain X3 And I have to admit, I think I like Grace's expression best XD
