"Unless you have an extremely powerful blob, it won't end well. They copy punching power but can't take punches" Ethan pointed out.

"I mean I came here for testing... I'm not about to lie."
Amanda's 'steam' seems to be running out again as she retreats quickly after being challenged.
"Ul is tougher than she looks..."
Ul transforms into a (Kirby-like) rock when she's mentioned being tough and looks at Ethan as if to say 'Come at me bro'.

"Love, that ain't looking like something you can just tough out. I'm sure Ul's real strong, but there's only so much one can do when outmatched. Especially since you'd be kinda relying on Ul to deal with everything"
Ethan kind of shrugged, though.
"You do you, though"

The man nods and smiles as Amanda and Ethan banter.
"Ah the confidence of youth. I'm sure your fellows will be happy to oblige you if you want a fight, but I'll have to beg for a pause before I continue on. There is always more paperwork to complete, especially since my colleagues feel that none of it is their concern."
He says, gesturing at the young trainers in the room.
"And if you wish to stay the night we do have a room available. The beds are unfortunately not much better than moist carry on the road, but the rooms are clean and the showers are warm. We even have a healing machine - an older model but it works perfectly fine if you don't mind waiting overnight." He pauses and nods, as if ticking a mental checklist. "And of course my name is Ryland. I'll be here until the morning, even if I end up taking a nap behind the desk."

"Thank you..."
So he's not even challenging her, so there's nothing for Ethan to worry about. The offer of a room is greatly appreciated, because Amanda is not about to run off into the forest mid-day. Gotta get some establishing done.
She turns to the other strange trainers in the room but seems to have run out of words to actually challenge them. Ul, however, has not run out of sass, and transforms again into a little boxer-girl and makes faux punching guestures to indicate a challenge!

"Oh, yeah. Room's very appreciated, thanks a ton! It's about what I hoped to get, honestly, and I'm sure the girls are more than grateful too. Nice to meet ya, Ryland. I'm Ethan" Ethan said with a nod before waving at Amanda and giving her a thumbs up.
"Best-a luck with the challenge thing! I'm gonna go over there and try to get the two most different pokemon possible to work as a team. Via, Abby, wanna join?"

Via looks at Ethan flatly for a moment, as if contemplating whether or not she wants to battle without training her new pokemon first. Eventually she just shrugs and says, "Sure, I'll join, why not."

Ul's challeng is answered by a Jigglypuff wearing a ribbon rolling over and puffing itself up. The pink pokemon is quickly followed by its trainer, a guy wearing a bright pink baseball cap. "Hey, you looking for a battle? Because Oichi and I are always ready to go?" He asks Amanda. Ethan and Via aren't bothered as they train their pokemon in the corner.

Amanda merely just nods while Ul transforms back into her normal squishy self.
Finally. A Jigglypuff will be a very natural test. Normal vs Normal and all that...
"Let's begin then."

"Hey, she got what looks like an even fight after all" Ethan quipped, coming back from a nearby bathroom. He had ditched the bulky jacket and trousers for a black sleeveless shirt and sweatpants. Finding a good, open spot, he released Iota and Tau before dropping to his knees.
"Okay, squad! Simple idea here. Tau, you need to tag me. Iota, you need to keep Tau from tagging me. I need to not get tagged. I'm horribly outmatched, so we should all get a decent workout eh?"

The youth grins. "Excellent. I'm Lyle by the way. Is this one on one or do you have a second pokemon?"
(Jigglypuff's speed is 5. If you beat it just go.)

"I'll only have one, but you may use as many as you like."Tiebreaker: Ul |fErAM3|1d20 Jiggly 1d20
Oichi seems just a little faster, but regardless, Ul quickly transforms into the Jigglypuff, complete with bow... And the goofy Ditto face, with a big smile on it, ready to fight. She looks back to Amanda, who smirks. Ul uses Imposter! "Trigger - Ditto enters the encounter When Ditto is sent out, it may use the Move Transform as a free action. If the target of Transform has any modified Combat Stages, apply these Combat Stages to Ditto. One of the target’s Abilities is randomly assigned to Ditto until Ditto uses Transform again." 1d20·1d20

"I'll only use Oichi then, because we won't need an unfair advantage against ourselves. Oichi, use Sweet Kiss." Lyle says enthusiastically as Oichi runs over to her doppelganger and gives her a peck on the cheek.
Sweet Kiss AC 6 vs TI8lx|M21d20 Confuses on a hit, Ul gets -2 accuracy for a round on a miss.
(Lyle uses Inspired Training as orders)1d20

"As you wish."If the others are watching, they'll notice that Amanda stood up straighter and got a lot more confident looking as soon as the battle started. This is her research, her wheelhouse. She knows 'exactly' what she's doing at this point. She pulls out some of her notes, flipping through them with ease, as she knows right where she's going. She stops at a section relating to pokemon like Jigglypuff and their known moves. The opposing pokemon seemed to have failed in their attempt. She makes a note of the attack, regardless. But now... It's time to strike. "Ul, quickly. Use pound."As Ul charges, Amanda thinks. A pokemon like that most likely doesn't have a lot of offense. She'll just have to stick to one attack and just keep chipping away. Amanda spends 1 ap to make a Record of Sweet Kiss
Amanda uses Brutal Orders
Ul uses Pound! AC 2 Normal Physical qsmS3QUe1d20-2 2d6+25
1d20-2·2d6+25

Oichi takes the hit as Lyle winces. "Alright, Pound back. Don't be put off by yourself!" He orders.

Amanda merely stares as Ul take the hit back. Ul is.. a bit used to taking punishment, being Amanda's only pokemon. Also having an amorphous body also helps. "Again, Ul. Pound again."Amanda makes another note of Pound while Ul's transformed body rushes forward with another smack! Amanda makes a Record of Pound
Amanda uses Critical Moment! Brutal Training and Inspired Training is tripled for this round!
Ul uses Pound! AC 2 Normal Physical Gw4hTVUU1d20 2d6+25 1d20·2d6+25

Oichi doesn't look like she can take another hit, but she swings again regardless. Lyle uses inspired TRaining once more.

The attack lands, but as if her amorphous body ignores it, it doesn't seem to do lasting damage! (Amanda uses Perserverence to ignore an injury) "One more, that's all you need."Amanda uses Inspired Orders
Ul uses Pound! (Spending ap) AC 2 Normal Physical UQAKbMTW1d20+1 2d6+25 1d20+1·2d6+25

Oichi faints upon being hit, Lyle shrugging off his loss with a grin. "That was nicely done I guess. Never really seen a Ditto in action before - you basically ruined my secret weapon. Good battle though." He says, recalling his pokemon and approaching Amanda with his hand held out, clearly aiming to shake hers.
(15 pokexp to Amanda)

Via glances at the battle occuring before her in mild interest, but as she starts to get into training, her attention is quickly directed away from the battle. She releases Nix in the air beside her, the little Ledyba floating there expectantly, and her newly acquired Turtwig on the ground below. She lets the two pokemon sniff and posture at each other for a little bit before calling their attention back to her. "Nix, standard training, of course. Turtwig, we normally train by practicing moves on each other. Get the feel for the combat, what hitting and missing feel like, how people react when they do get hit. If you do well enough and I like you, I'll start thinking up a name for you."
Via walks to one of the sidewalls of the room and sets down her bag and glaive, then returns to her pokemon and lifts up her fists in a fighting stance, and soon the moves are flying back and forth, with Via joining in on the action, of course.
