Pokemon Plasma Rated T (IC)

chapter one: COLETTE / Rootdry Town.2

The little orange bird looked up to Colette as she sat down on her knees in front of him. ''Tor?''
''Um, hi! I'm Colette. I'm your new trainer!''
Torchic looked at her face curiously, glanced at the professor it could see in the other room, and looked back at her. ''Chic!'' it said happily. It ran a circle around her and jumped into her lap.
''I guess it's my turn now, right.''
Colette was surprised by the unfamiliar voice, and looked up behind her, but just then she was passed by its owner; a rather tall black-haired young man walked to the table with large steps. Colette picked Torchic up in her arms and stood up, watching the other person. He seemed to have closed his eyes to make his choice. Wait, was he choosing at random?! She had no time to consider it, for immediately after picking it up he threw the Pokéball to reveal his choice: a small Mudkip stood on the floor, looking around a little bewildered. ''Kip?'' it cried.
Colette decided it best to let them get to know each other a little bit, and returned to the professor. Pine was already waiting for the both of them, smiling, but with her arms crossed.
''I see you picked Torchic! And it seems to like you too. That's wonderful!'' She walked over to her desk and pulled out two extra chairs for Colette and the other person to sit on. They sat down together, Torchic on Colette's lap. Professor Pine waited a little while for the second trainer to come out before starting her explanation. She smiled once again when she saw said trainer walk toward them.
''And you took.. Mudkip! I see. I hope he will become a valuable companion to you as well as a strong fighter!'' She paused so he could join them. Colette smiled at him and tried to say 'hi' softly, but combined with her shyness it ended up as a whisper. Slightly embarrassed, she turned to the professor to listen.
''Now, the both of you need to understand that the mission you're being sent out on isn't going to be an easy one. As you know, Team Plasma, the evil organisation that threatened Unova before has resurrected once again, this time stronger than ever before. With their leader Ghetsis' Genesect, they shot and killed White, and managed to capture Kyurem as a result. Combined, their strength is overwhelming, and they caused great havoc in Unova already.''
''Yes, I'm aware.'' Colette said. ''I was in Castelia City at the time of their attack, you see…''
''You were? That's… Hm. I see. In that case, you should be fully aware just how large a threat we're facing at this point in time. We may have successfully evacuated the Unova Region, but there is no guarantee that Plasma won't follow us here – in fact, I'm quite certain they will.''
''And that is the reason we will be sent out, isn't it? To follow in White's footsteps, to make Team Plasma disappear once and for all this time…'' Colette murmured as she looked down at the Torchic in her lap. ''Chic!'' it chirped as it looked back at her excitedly. At that, Colette held the Torchic a little tighter against her. At the time of the attack, her Pokémon hadn't exactly been weak. She had been travelling for a while, but Colette was far from being an Ace Trainer. Was there enough time to establish a completely new team from scratch that would be able to defeat Ghetsis? Images from Castelia flashed before Colette's eyes, imagining what would happen to if she couldn't…

She snapped out of it when another trainer came running into the room. ''Sorry I'm late Professor!'' He quickly walked on through to the room where the Pokéballs were being kept. He apparently took one and was about to hightail it back out of the room. ''Who are you again?'' The professor said.
''Frank Hul! Got to go!''
The professor quickly checked the list on her table. ''You're not on my list…'' she said, her eyes swiftly moving through the list again to make sure.
''Sorry!''
The door slammed shut. The Professor ran into the Pokéball room and finally it dawned on her what actually happened. ''He stole the Totodile! Can you go after him?''
Torchic chirped as Colette stood up from her chair and put her little Pokémon back in its ball. ''Yes!'' She started walking towards the door hurriedly, but then turned around to face the other trainer, and continued walking backwards.
''I'm Colette. Come with me! ...Please!''

Jack Robinson

Jack got up thinking while his two pokemon just lay down not noticing Jack.
"BlazeBlast! Shroomie! We need to find a travel partner, someone who is worth travelling with." BlazeBlast and Shroomie got up shocked from his shouting and they both tapped Jack. Jack turned around and sow them pointing at this berry on him infact two berries a leppa berry and a pecha berry, all he did was put them both in his bag. "You two. Lets go on" Jack said waiting for them to turn around "Ok Shroomie where shall we go?" The Shroomish pointed to a small path that had a sign saying 'Forest Shack forward'. "Thanks Shroomie, someone will definitely be there great lets go!" BlazeBlast on his shoulder and Shroomie tucked in his hands like a baby they all followed the path.

"Great the Shack is here, looks more like a little house." Jack looked around observing the area looking for someone when out of nowhere a boy stumbled right over him. All he did was stop and say "Are you ok? Why do I attack pokemon? Oh bye!" The boy ran off chased by Oddish, Shroomish and two Pikachu. Jack looked at the situation, gave a shrug and kept on looking for a travel partner. He then realised that he should be having lunch by now so he set up a picnic rug and got out food for him and his pokemon.
Finish it later sorry

Shadow Adler​

Shadow sat almost frozen, he blamed fear. He tried to lock himself in a world of music, and shut out everything else. He had only recently drowned out the sound of the muttering of the man from earlier. He was trying to get the idea out of his head that someone is coming to kill him, or that the man in the house would come out and attack him. He held Nip's pokeball, only this morning he met him and he is now his second closest friend. He hated the fact that he let him faint, he should have withdrawn Nip from the battle and leave the pikachu. Even though Nip wanted to fight, and Shadow did like the pikachu who was still hiding in his hat. But Shadow would have liked Nip to steady his nerves. Shadow didn't dare look round the forest either, he was just picking at a hole in the bottom of his jeans. He just hoped his MP3 player doesn't die on him.
Shadow's hat fell onto his lap. and he jumped. He placed his hand on his head, Pikachu wasn't there. He grabbed it hat and forced it onto his head, half covering his face and tried to steady himself. 'I'm just scaring myself' he told himself, he looked up and Pikachu was looking down from the roof. Shadow thought he should tell Pikachu to get down, but he was scared to breathe to loudly. He just curled up, hugging his bass case. Shuting his eyes, and trying to block out things. 'I don't want to die' he said in his head.

joint post: JAVIER & COLETTE / Rootdry Town → Ferrow Forest

Javier and Colette went outside the lab. The sun was already low in the sky, so Javier guessed that it was something past four o' clock in the afternoon. "Where is he?" Javier saw the messy-looking kid enter the Ferrow Forest. That leads out the village. The two of them ran towards the guy into the forest.

The boy in front of them was running as well, but Colette wasn't sure if he already noticed he was being followed. Regardless, the woods would inevitably make it more difficult to give chase. ''Hey, um...'' Colette realised she didn't know her companion's name yet. This wasn't exactly the best time for introductions, however. ''Are you familiar around here? Is there any way we can drive him into a corner or something?...''

"Me? Familiar?" Javier shook his head. He was far from being tired, but perspiration was already beading on his forehead. Probably due to the heat. "Never bothered to explore the village, nor the forest. All I know is that," Javier pointed towards where the boy is running. "That leads out the village. We better keep on running so as to catch up to him."

Colette nodded. They were steadily approaching the entrance of the forest. Unfortunately, as they were getting closer to the thief, he'd picked up on them; occasionally, the sloppily-dressed trainer looked back, and threw them an irritated look. Still, it was as if he didn't pay them much mind just yet. Soon they found out the reason for his confidence: fairly quickly after they'd gone into the forest, the trainer strayed from the beaten path, into the much more densely forested area. Clearly, he must have known the forest like the back of his hand.

The two of them followed the kid into the deeper parts of the forest, both of them panting hard. The kid soon gained advantage of the situation; his twist and turns made Javier redouble his efforts in keeping up with the kid. However, his lack of knowledge in the forest, and the kid's apparent mastery over it, took its toll on the chase. Once or twice, Javier thought that the kid had lost them, only to find that he was several meters away from them, running through thick brambles of bush. Soon enough, the kid was already far from the duo.

She had never been in extremely good shape, and it was beginning to show. Colette's jumps weren't as high, her turns weren't as swift - it wouldn't be long until she---
BAM. She tripped over a surfaced tree root, and now she'd hit the ground hard. Colette cursed under her breath and scrambled to her feet. That'd done it, however. The criminal had disappeared into the lush greenery of the forest.
The two trainers continued to run in the direction he disappeared in. Suddenly, they came back to what seemed to be a path.
''He must've known this was here. I can't tell which way he went though...'' Colette crouched down to see if she could distinguish any footprints, but couldn't tell. She looked up at Javier. ''Should we split up?''

Shadow Adler​

Shadow was still curled up, still resting against the outside of the shack. He didn't dare take out his headphones and be greeted by either the sounds of movement which are bound to scare him, or silence. Pikachu was still on the roof, Shadow tried to think back. 'Did he actually see the man enter the shack, or just walk by?' He kept on giving himself this question, but he could never think of a definite answer.
Shadow froze completely, he held his breath afraid to move the smallest bit. He saw something, a shadow, it was in the distance though so Shadow thought he was safe. But within the next 30 minuets the shadow got closer, it took the shape of a man. Shadow panicked, he snuck into the cabin and hid behind a chest of draws his Bass case rest underneath it. He forgot to see if the man was in there. But he had something else to think, was there actually a shadow, was it a person? Shadow knew that a group of objects together makes a convincing shadow. Why was it getting closer? Was it one of the trainers? Could it be the person form the mans 'there going to kill me' mutters. Would they bother checking a small shack? Would they bother looking behind a chest of draws?
Yet, Shadow couldn't think through these question properly, he had an edge of unease. Something wasn't right. 'Damn it I left Pikachu on the roof' he said in his head. Guilt took over, he no longer worried if someone attacked him, he just thought of Pikachu just above him on the roof, maybe he is scared? Or he might just run? 'I am a useless trainer' Shadow thought 'Letting Nip faint to catch a pokemon, and then I leave that pokemon to save myself'

Chapter 2: Javier Serrano || Ferrow Forest

''Should we split up?'' Colette asked. Javier looked around the area and saw nothing that could point in the direction the kid ran off. The leaves did not trace any path through the forest, and no footsteps were imprinted on the muddy path.

"I guess. It seems that is the best thing to do. So, meet you again, somewhere. Good luck," Javier started to retrace his steps, when he suddenly decided to turn around. "I'm Javier Serrano, by the way." Javier ran off. He was worried that the girl might insist on searching for the thief together, and he'd had enough company for the day. Good thing she thought of searching the forest independently. Javier was retracing their steps back to where Colette tripped. I guess a little bit of company would not hurt, either way. Javier got Mudkip's Pokeball and threw it. The Mud Fish Pokémon appeared in a flash of red light.

"Kip?" The Pokémon looked at Javier with curious eyes. He picked it up. Mudkip squirmed from his touch but relaxed when Javier looked at it straight in its eyes. It started to nibble on one of Javier's fingers. "Shall I name you?" The Pokémon ignored him and was happily nibbling Javier's thumb. "I guess you have to have a name, not just simply Mudkip. Let's try… uhmm… Axel?" The Mudkip continued on ignoring Javier. "Never mind. We'll get to that later." He let down the Pokémon. "C'mon, Let's find that guy." Something rustled in the bushes behind him. Javier turned towards the bush. It continued to rustle vigorously.

"Let's see what you are made of! Axel- I mean, Mudkip!" The Mudkip bounded in front of Javier, its eyes gleaming. Out of the bushes emerged a Deerling, holding a branch of Oran Berries in its mouth. "Mudkip! Tackle!" Mudkip crashed into the Deerling with such intensity that the Oran Berry branch flew away from its mouth. The Deerling looked at Mudkip furiously. It growled. Mudkip cowered with the sound. "Hold your ground! Tackle!" Mudkip crashed into the Deerling once again, but it countered with another Tackle. Mudkip flew and crashed into the ground. Mudkip stood up, and tackled again. The Deerling fell with the Tackle. "Wait, Mudkip! Let's try our luck for our first partner!" Javier threw his Pokeball. The same red light sucked in the Deerling and beeped. Javier waited with bated breath.

The Deerling popped out after one shake of the Pokeball. Both Javier and Mudkip looked confused "Wait, wha-?" Before Javier could even processed what happened, the Deerling disappeared into the bushes behind it. "Where'd it go?" Mudkip bounded into the foliage and sent a blind tackle. The Deerling reappeared once more, its eyes gleaming. It started to growl.Guess this whole catching business is not really my thing. "Okay, Mudkip! Let's try this again! Flank that Deerling on its left and use Tackle!" Mudkip bounded towards the Deerling's left.

However, the Deerling seemed to understand the confusion caused by it using Camouflage. It used it again, disappearing into the forestry once more. Javier could hear it rustling away. "No! Come, Ax-Mudkip!" The two of them followed the sounds of shaking grass. It finally stopped short of a clearing. Javier could make out a silhouette of the Deerling. "I got you now. Axe-I mean Mudkip, Tackle!" Mudkip leaped and hit the Deerling squarely in the back. It slid back a few feet. However, despite its obvious fatigue, it managed to knock Mudkip back also. "Uhmm. Mudkip, Counter!" Mudkip glowed with a white light. It crashed into the bushes, both of them rolling head over paws. Javier followed and saw that both are still on their feet. However, both of them looked tired as Arceus on the seventh day. The Deerling rushed towards Mudkip, knocking Mudkip down to the ground but the impact took its toll on the Deerling. Its knees buckled, and it slumped to the ground. One more hit, and I'll try to catch it again. First times are seldom good, everybody know that. "Tackle! One more!" Javier took a Pokeball and threw it as Mudkip got to its feet and did one final Tackle. The Pokeball sucked the Deerling in as Mudkip crashed to the ground. Javier ran towards the Mudkip. It is in no state to battle yet. The Pokeball beeped and shook once...


death to plasma?

chapter two: COLETTE / Ferrow Forest

''I guess. It seems like that is the best thing to do. So, meet you again, somewhere. Good luck.'' And he walked back in the direction they came from.
… He sure didn't waste any time getting away from me, huh.
She'd turned away from him to go her own way, but Colette was startled when suddenly his voice sounded from behind her again.
''I'm Javier Serrano, by the way.''
''Nice to…'' She sighed. When she turned around, he'd left again already. ''…meet you too.'' She stuck out her tongue in his general direction. Hmph. You're not going to find our thief by backtracking, anyway!

She walked along the path, keeping an eye out in case Frank really did show up again. Being honest however, she'd already given up on the search a little. Of course if she did run into him again, she'd kick his ass. Hopefully. But until then examining the forest around her was far more interesting. The girl let out Torchic as to let him explore with her, possibly to get some necessary training in; after all, they needed to get stronger, and fast. Perhaps she could even add a Grass-type to her team.
Together they were looking through the bushes and trees to find critter Pokémon to train against, but apparently luck wasn't on their side. After about half an hour of non-stop searching, Colette and Torchic sat down in the tall grass to take a little rest. This area of the forest was a little darker than where they'd been before, so she assumed they were a lot further in the woods by now. Little light came through the trees, and they seemed closer together as a whole as well. This definitely wasn't where Frank went, at least. The brunette took out a sandwich and gave Torchic a little Pokémon food. When she did, though, suddenly a bit of grass near her began to rustle.
''What… Torchic, look.'' Colette got up, and Torchic readied himself for battle. They slowly crept up closer to the rustling grass… Until it suddenly stopped. Colette and Torchic looked at each other and snuck to an arm's reach. When she tried to move the grass apart to see the Pokémon, the grass suddenly jumped up! A cute Oddish popped out. A little scared, it backed off a few steps, but it seems curiosity got the better of it; it kept watching the girl and her Pokémon closely.
A few moments were lost to a staredown between Oddish and Torchic. ''… Oh! Right! Torchic, use Scratch!''
And the battle started! Torchic ran up to Oddish to Scratch it, but Oddish was flexible. Waiting right until Torchic got close, it turned away with a twirl and ran towards Colette.
Torchic however came right back as well and this time managed to Scratch Oddish from behind. Oddish tripped over by the blow and rolled over once. It got back up quickly, and looked not amused. ''Great Torchic, try attacking it again!''
Torchic chirped with excitement and made to do another Scratch. It hit, but that was the last straw for Oddish. It struck back with an Absorb. That could become a problem should the battle last too long…
''Torchic! Okay, we'll have to finish it now. Use… Agility!''
Torchic was a little disoriented, but didn't let that stop him. It closed its eyes, relaxed its muscles, and regained – no, it even improved its composure from before. Using Agility worked wonders: Torchic suddenly launched at Oddish like a bullet. He jumped, and this time Scratched Oddish with both of its feet. Oddish fell to the ground, struggling a little to get back up; this was her chance. Colette quickly dug in her bag and threw one of her Pokéballs! Torchic chirped victoriously, but Colette waited in suspense as the Pokéball enclosed the Oddish and dropped into the grass . . .

It was no surprise to Jack that the Spinarak he had battled was too weak to evade capture. After a few moments of the Pokeball rolling on the grass, the red LED turned off, indicating to Jack that his party had just doubled in size. Charmander went over to it and nudged it slowly with his snout to see if its foe was hiding under the red and white orb, but backed away when his master came over and picked up the Pokeball. With the press of a button, the Spinarak manifested once again beside the duo. The Fire-Type was on guard and prepared to attack, but it was unnecessary. The Spinarak was severely weakened from the previous fight and in no condition to struggle against the two. This state wouldn't suffice for Jack, as he needed his Pokémon in good health for training. Out of his backpack, he retrieved a Potion and began to spray the injured areas with the healing remedies found within.

In moments, the spider Pokémon started to recover, and it was clear that its strength was restored. It looked around and saw the Charmander she had been fighting not five minutes ago. Both Pokémon were on edge and aggressive snarls and cries were traded before Jack intervened. "ENOUGH!," he exclaimed loudly, which startled both Pokémon. With his Pokémon now looking up at him, the Unovan continued, "No more bickering. You're both on the same team now, so act like it." He gave a scolding look to both Pokémon as he spoke to show dominance over the two. In his experience, Pokémon will in time follow orders as if they were defending their family from danger, but in the beginning it was important to show newcomers that the Trainer was the alpha in the situation.

Before he time to continue, a rustling could be heard from a nearby brush. Unknowing if it was a wild Pokémon hiding or something else, Jack determined that it would be best to investigate in the case of it being something to worry about. He gave Charmander the order to flush it out, and the red lizard began to run around the brush in a circle to flank whatever lie within. Instead of charging straight into the foliage as he would've liked to do, the fire Pokémon followed his orders and stuck his tail inside to scare it out. The trick worked better than plan, as a Teddiursa emerged from the leaves in fear of being burned. The tiny bear was clearly skittish, since it had only taken a moment of Charmander's tail being inside to get him out, and the live plants barely began to burn, causing no fire.

"You're up, Spinarak." Jack said to his new Pokémon. She looked up at him and began to shake her head to signify that she understood the command. "Just follow my orders and you should win this in no time. Now, lead off with a String Shot to slow it down, and then use Poison Sting." With no time to waste, the small green Pokémon scurried closer to the Teddiursa to confront it. Unwilling to fight but seemingly with no choice, the little bear with the crescent moon crest prepared for incoming attacks. Following her orders wonderfully, Spinarak lead the battle off with a stream of her String Shot aimed at Teddiursa's feet. Like with the battle with Charmander, her aim was impeccable and in a split second was all it took to cake the foe's feet in a sticky goop that prevented much movement.

Now frantically scratching away at the silky substance, Teddiursa had no time to think of a counter attack, and as left open for another attack by Spinarak. Using the distraction of the Teddiursa trying to free himself, the big green bug hurried to the side of her opponent in a flanking fashion. Unseen, she pounced on her prey, driving her head stinger through the thin layer of fur protecting the bear's skin just as he removed his feet from the String Shot. The attack broke through the skin to complete her attack before backing off to observe how much damage she caused. While the wild Pokémon cried in pain from the initial attack, it was unclear to both Jack and his Spinarak if the Poison Sting had actually caused a poisoning effect, or if the Teddiursa's natural antibodies from a diet consisting primarily of honey had given it a stronger immune system.

Now freed from the spider's trap, the small bear countered the attack by scratching her on the head with his honey soaked paws. The claws did damage, and scratch marks were slightly visible on the hard exoskeleton of the arachnid. Jumping backwards, she prepared to let loose the ranged variant of the Poison Sting attack. Before her attack hit, the teddy bear let loose a Sweet Scent, wharfing a pleasant smelling aroma into Spinarak's vicinity. She still managed to initiate the Poison Sting, and tiny poisonous needles showered the Teddiursa. But the aroma was too much for the tiny spider, and she halted her attack early to soak in the sweet smell that engulfed her. Through the hue of the cloud caused by Teddiursa, Jack noticed that the bear Pokémon began to breathe heavier and more erratic. Whether it the first or second attack that did it, the fury critter was definitely poisoned.

The aroma cloud began to disperse, and with it returned Spinarak's will to battle. Before the battle could continue, large and heavy footprints shook the nearby bushes and were followed with a ferocious snarling noise. Out from behind the Teddiursa, an Ursaring appeared with a vicious look on its face. "Crap, it's the mother bear." Jack said to himself as the hulking brute stood next to her offspring. Jack ordered his Charmander into the fray, seeing as how this now could constitute as a double battle. He didn't think they'd be able to win in their present state but Jack hoped that his two Pokémon could at least intimidate it into leaving him alone.

Jack couldn't have been more wrong with his plan. Even though he ordered both his Pokémon to attack the mother with Dragon Pulse and Poison Sting, the attacks seemed to do very little damage to the large bear. The Teddiursa, instead of attacking, chose to climb up onto his mother and climb to the back tufts of fur around her neck. Preparing to attack, the Ursaring used a Leer attack to gaze at both Pokémon, lowering their defenses as the bear began to unnerve them. The new opponent was at too high of a level for either one of his Pokémon to take on, and Jack new it as time to call it quits. "It's too powerful. Leg it!" Jack ordered to his team. In sync with each other, the spider and the lizard broke off and ran with Jack away from the bear, which proceeded to give chase. This mama bear was angered, and it would be no small feat to escape her rage.

Running for dear life, the three had to brave the obstacle course of rock and vegetation ahead of them to evade the Ursaring, who appeared to be closing the distance. Hatching a plan in his head, the Unovan Trainer gave his team orders. "Spinarak, use String Shot on the trees behind us to slow it down. Charmander, prepare to use Dragon Pulse. NOW!" Jack turned around a pointed to the trees he wanted Spinarak to shoot, and without any sort of hesitation, the Spinarak began to connect the trees with various silky strings in multiple different angles while Charmander began to form a dark blue energy ball from its mouth.

Unsurprisingly, the Ursaring began to run through the first couple string shots as though they were nothing. It's either level and weight meant that more string would be needed to actually stop the beast in its tracks, but the tension did slow its movement down some. Still, the blind rage of the mother bear gave her the unwise impulse to ignore the web strings to attack. With each string shot she walked through, it became increasingly more difficult for her to move forward until she came to a halt after becoming ensnared in the final shot. The Ursaring stood there for only a moment before Jack's order to fire came, but in the moment, the Trainer could tell much from the faces his opponents displayed. The Teddiursa was still poisoned and becoming weaker by the second while the Ursaring's anger showed without fail and was foaming at the mouth.

"Okay, fire Dragon Pulse and Poison String now!" Jack commanded, hoping this volley would fare better than the first. The Poison Sting hit first, but didn't seem to break through the thick fur of the foe, and the Dragon Pulse hit the Ursaring directly in her chest. The impact from the last blast weakened the first few layers of strong, and the bear once again began moving forward. "Frig! Keep running!" he ordered once again, and for the second time the trio began to sprint away. The Ursaring's arms were freed from their confines, and with a slash from her massive claws, the impromptu web was demolished. Even angrier than before, the large Pokémon began to use Fury Swipes at nearby trees as she passed them and threw the debris created towards Jack and his team.

Now dodging projectiles, Jack made the executive decision to climb a nearby tree. Spinarak, being perfect for this job, climbed the large tree first and used her string shot to pull her master and Charmander up the tree as it had very few ranches for them to climb up near the base. The Ursaring appeared at the base of the tree and growled at the three. Jack sighed in relief as he began to plan how they would escape this unfortunate predicament, though he believed this seemingly good luck to be out of place. He pulled out his old Pokedex that he had since his beginning days as a trainer and thought to himself out loud. "Wait…I think Ursarings can climb trees."

As if on cue, the large bear began to sink her claws into the bark of the tree and started to climb up. Cursing this series of unfortunate events, Jack was left with no choice but to think of his way out quickly or risk being mauled to death. Having an idea, he ordered his Spinarak to swing over to a nearby tree while ordering Charmander to unleash another Dragon Pulse to slow down the opponent's advance. "Spinarak, use Rage Powder to draw its attention!," he called out at the same time the Charmander's attack hit the Ursaring in the face. From her thorax, a reddish mist secreted down towards Ursaring. Releasing an enraged growl, the powerful bear jumped from the tree it as on and clawed her way onto Spinarak's tree. Giving the small spider a Leer, the Ursaring succeeded to lowering her defenses through intimidation yet again.

The Teddiursa on her back looked to be in bad shape, being poisoned for almost a half hour by now and currently shaking on his mother's fur. It was weak, and Jack could tell. If the child would grow up to be anything like the mother, it would be a powerful asset to his team and there was no denying it. Taking out a Pokeball, Jack threw it at the Teddiursa. The small bear was entrapped inside the spherical device and it began to shake and roll about as the wild Pokémon began to struggle against being captured while his mother continued to climb up the tree.

Teddiursa was unable to struggle against the Pokeball for very long before his strength gave out, becoming entrapped in the spherical technological wonder. Even in her undiminished rampage heightened due to Spinarak's Rage Powder, the Bear-like Pokémon was still aware of the change in weight on her back when her baby boy was captured. The faint thud of an object hitting the grassy patch below attracted her gaze, and found the rumbling Pokeball instead of her child. While most wild Pokémon would not know what to make of the almost foreign shape of a perfect globe or the devices purpose, the panicked look on the Ursaring's face indicated that she had experience with both Pokémon capture devices and the humans who wield them.


This advent of events were so emotional to the grizzly beast that the Rage Powder that had once ensnared her attention no longer had any effect and the heavy-set Pokémon hopped off the tree with the intent to crush the Pokeball to free her child. Knowing a successful crushing would free the newly captured Teddiursa, Jack barked the order to his Spinarak to move the item before it could be destroyed. Once again, the green spider's accuracy proved itself invaluable and the silky white string grabbed ahold of the Pokeball. She reeled it in with ease before the enraged mother could land on the ground. Her contact with the earth shook the nearby ground and Jack had to hold onto a nearby branch for stability to prevent him from falling out.


Not seeing where the Pokeball actually went to, the Ursaring focused on the Unovan trainer once again as the target of her anger. Furious about her child's abduction, the powerful bear stopped the attempt of climbing the tree and began to Slash the tree multiple times with the goal of toppling it. The fury engulfing the Ursaring was so great that even another Dragon Pulse and Poison Sting attacks from both Charmander and Spinarak respectively could not slow her down. At the end of a few good hits, the tree's weight had shifted too greatly to too small an area, and the once proud standing plant began to tumble.


"CRAAAAAAAP!," yelled a startled Jack as he fell out of the faltering tree with Charmander alongside him. Charmander had been fortunate enough in that Spinarak had caught her fellow teammate with her String Shot, which acted as a bungee cord of sorts to allow him the luxury of a relatively soft landing. Jack's run of bad luck continued, however, and fell right on top of the rampaging Ursaring. With the options of fall into a dangerous ensemble of muscle, teeth, and claws or risk breaking something from hitting the ground too hard, the young man was in between a rock and a hard place. Gambling his currently piss-poor luck, Jack latched onto the neck of the Ursaring. His chest collided into the thick furry chest of the wild Pokémon's, and had she not seen the trainer fall, would've fallen on impact by the inertia.


Now was the mother Ursaring's chance for revenge. While Jack was in an awkward position which made it difficult for a proper swipe of her claws, the protrusions on her paws her still sharp enough to injure the Unovan even with a weakened glide. Three of her claws where able to make contact with Jack's back, tearing his shirt where contact was made before shallowly cutting into his flesh. The pain was sudden and he knew he was bleeding even without being able to look.


He winced in pain but refused to make an audible sound. The trainer quickly tried to think of a way out of the situation. "Crap, I have no way out of this…Unless…" With very little options, Jack's seemingly only way to escape would be a failed capture attempt to buy himself time to run away. He pulled a Pokeball from his belt and expanded the ball's diameter. There was not enough space for him to throw the Pokeball, so Jack slammed it into the Ursaring's body while it was still in his hand. The Ursaring had not prepared for this and was sucked into the Pokeball. Jack was pleased with the result because he didn't know actually throwing the Pokeball was never a requirement for a Pokeball operation, but soon learned why all trainers threw them anyways. Still in his hand, the Pokeball and by extension the Ursaring currently trapped within, began to spasm in random directions. The torque of each pull was massive, certainly an indicator of Ursaring's strength.


With all of the arm strength Jack could muster, he threw it high into the air and as far away from him as he possibly could. Off in the distance, he heard the sounds of Pokémon suddenly scattering, which meant that either the Pokeball or the Ursaring startled them, but Jack didn't want to stick around to find out. "Spinarak, pass me our new friend and high tail it out of here!," he ordered while wiping sweat off his face. Spinarak crawled down from the tree the Pokeball in tow and delivered it to her master. The Teddiursa was still weak from the poison and in no shape mentally or physically to run away from his own mother not moments after his own capture, so it was decided it would be best to keep him inside his Pokeball for the time being.


The trio quickly ran in a random direction away from the recent battlefield and came across a small cottage in segment of the forest less populated with trees. "Good, a place to rest up and recover from the battle. Come on guys; let's see if anyone's home." The three approached from the rear of the building, which didn't seem to have any lights on at all. "Good maybe it's abandoned," thought the trainer as the distance between man and shelter closed. He continued to analyze the situation with each step and kept his guard up, "Then again, this region is newly discovered, it's too soon to have randomly unoccupied buildings for no reason. Let's just hope I'm over thinking this. Oh look, an opened window. Hit the Jackpot."


Spinarak had no difficulty entered through the window on the first floor, being perfectly able to walk up the wall without wasting any time. Charmander on the other hand was too short to climb up and needed the assistance of his trainer to enter the window. With his team safely inside the small woodland home, Jack climb the windowsill and into a darkened room.

Chapter Three; The "Shack"

You enter this random shack in the middle of the woods, for one reason or another. Inside, you see two chairs around a table. There is no one inside except for you and one or two other rpers. There is also a bookshelf. There is a book open on the table, and has the words, "War and Peace" highlighted.
OOC: If you pull the book War and Peace out of the bookshelf, the bookshelf will move to the side, exposing a trap door. Inside of that trap door, there is a room with a lot of scientific technology inside. There is a man talking to a guy in a lab coat inside. They are talking about team Plasma and its plans. There are scientific instruments inside.

What you must accomplish:
1. Discover the trap door.
2. Investigate the scientific instruments and find that they talk about the legendary trios.
3. Overhere some of what they are talking about.
4. Interact with the people, does not have to be battling or talk to them.
5. Get out.

What you can do:
1. Talk to the other RPers.
2. Examine more things in the room.
3. Battle them.

The small cottage was quiet when Jack first dropped down through the first story window. The trainer could barely hear any sounds with the exception of the sound he made after making contact with the floorboards. Maybe the owner of the house was sleeping in the next room over or out to gather supplies, either way it didn't make a difference to Jack. All that mattered right now was that he made it to shelter and could catch his breath for a little while. He looked about the darkened room. There didn't seem to be any built in electricity, which would make sense because it's not like there were any electrical posts leading up to the place from Rootdry or any other direction. The only lighting in the room allowing the trainer to see was natural sunlight beaming in through the window he had just entered which ended on the wall parallel to the window.

It was dim, but Jack's pupil's widened the more he stared blankly into the dark room which allowed him to see better than when he had first entered. Lying on his back against the wall, he panted out of exhaustion. Both his Pokémon were beside him doing likewise, though they both seemed to recover faster than their trainer did. Now getting cozy on his spot on the floor, Jack began to notice the slight stinging sensation from his cuts given to him by the Ursaring. "Those need to be bandaged up, " Jack thought to himself as he let the cool air brush against his face. While he was in a small amount of pain and the cuts needed to be properly disinfected, he was far too tired to give a damn at the moment. The trainer's lack of worry came from the fact that he knew he had the proper supplies to treat himself properly and had plenty of time to do so before the chance of infection became great.

As he sat, an uncomfortable lump between the back of his belt and the wall compelled Jack to investigate and retrieve the object. To his annoyed surprise, he could his hunting knife that he had bought earlier. God damn it! I completely forgot I had this…I wish I remembered this earlier….friggin' Ursaring would've had cuts of its own, he thought as he sheathed it once again to the holster on his belt. It was after this exact moment when Jack heard the creaking footsteps as if someone was approaching. Jack kept his hand on the knife and prepared to wield it of absolutely necessary, but restrained himself from swinging around like a madman in case the presence was friendly.

Much to Jack's relief, it wasn't another growling wild Pokémon who wanted to murder him and feast on his lifeless corpse and instead was a familiar looing kid. Sighing, the weary trainer could only hope that he wasn't about to ask for a Pokémon battle, because he currently wasn't in the mood for anymore crap right now. Before any dialogue could be exchanged between the two, the door on the other side of the room began to fidget wildly. The small rumbling of the door quickly ceased. Looking on with great interest, Jack and his Pokémon noticed the sunlight that was peeking through the threshold was covered with a large shadow. Without a moment even passing, claws began ripping through the door. Jack was familiar with this set, and the hair began to stand on the back on his neck. A second set of claws then pierced what remained of the wooden door, and the remnants of the entryway were sucked outside as if by vacuum.

Emerging from the sunlight was a large silhouette. Though the details were yet to come into focus through Jack's eyes, Spinarak's more sophisticated pair saw the Ursaring enter in full focus. A shriek from the small spider sent her Charmander teammate's tail ablaze in anticipation for a fight. The commotion of Jack's Pokémon instinctively saw the trainer pull out his knife. The Ursaring came into view and while staring down his pursuer, Jack noticed that the bear started to wobble in place as if she was feeling faint. Without any conflict between man and beast, she fell. Her heavy panting and Spinarak's apparent look of pleasure suggested one of her Poison Sting attack's from over an hour ago was successful in causing the status ailment it is named for. Almost immediately after the Ursaring collapsed, another kid entered the cottage, and then threw a Pokeball at the defeated Ursaring while introducing himself. Jack's looked on in disbelief that so many people appeared almost out of nowhere in the blink of an eye.

chapter three: COLETTE / The Shack

Slightly nervous, Colette followed the trail Sawsbuck had left on its rampage. She and her Pokémon were hardly prepared to battle such a powerful opponent, even with Javier's possible help. With ever step, her fear grew a little. That is, until she realised: if they wouldn't be able to beat it with the two of them, how could Javier possibly take it on by himself?! Colette picked up the pace faster, even started to run. She'd only been thinking about her own safety, and now only left to hope that Javier had somehow saved himself.

After a while of running, a wooden cottage came in sight, in the middle of a small clearing. Colette stopped her running at a safe distance to catch her breath and assess the situation. The Sawsbuck was standing in front of what must be the door of the shack; it seemed its antlers had pierced the door and it'd gotten stuck. Colette came up a little closer carefully, and only then she saw that the wood blocking the entrance of the shack was in fact not a door, but a table. Hands could be seen holding it in place, but the Deer Pokémon didn't seem ready to give in at all. It was struggling heavily to free its antlers from the table, and it seemed like the piece of furniture was about to break apart already.

Colette had caught her breath, and proceeded to run to the other side of the cottage, to see if there was another way in. No such luck. ''…We need to get out of here.'' Faint male voices could be heard from inside now that she'd gotten closer. Colette made up her mind. She ran to the front of the cabin and sent out her Pokémon in an attempt to distract the Sawsbuck. The enraged Pokémon paid her no mind at all, though, as it was too desperate to free itself and rampage inside. ''Okay… well, here goes nothing. Chief, use Scratch! Lilac, you use Absorb!''

Torchic started moving forward first. It ran up to the back of the Sawsbuck, and Scratched its back leg with its claws. Oddish on its own turned used Absorb, and managed to drain its opponent's health with its roots from a safe distance.
The Season Pokémon, ever more infuriated, began kicking its legs and pulled back as hard as it could, finally breaking its antlers out of their wooden entrapment. ''MOO!'' it exclaimed, and looked around at its attackers. ''Tor— CHIEF, RUN!'' Colette yelled. Torchic started moving away from the Sawsbuck, but the grand Pokémon wasn't even after it. Likely because of her shouting, it scraped the floor with his front hoof, and glared at their trainer furiously. ''Uh-oh.'' Colette ran from it as fast as she could, but Sawsbuck took off swiftly and gave chase. The girl's first instinct was to climb into a tree, and so she jumped as high as she could to grab one of a tree's lower branches and pulled herself up, right before the Sawsbuck would have struck her with its Take Down. She was sitting on top of the branch now, desperately trying to climb up higher. Her attacker wasn't about to give up, however, and started ramming the tree with its hind legs, using Jump Kick.

Chief and Lilac had run after the Sawsbuck as well when it charged their trainer. The two managed a combination to make it stop: Torchic struck its front legs as it kicked the tree, to unbalance it. Right then, Oddish jumped and climbed on top of Sawsbuck's head, used Absorb to grab hold of it with its roots and drain its health.
Sawsbuck was absolutely furious and jumped around like a rodeo to get Lilac off its back. The Grass-type couldn't hold on for long after its attack ceased, and fell on the ground. Torchic struck Sawsbuck's hind leg with a final Scratch to keep Oddish from being trampled, but was hit immediately by one of its rodeo-esque Jump Kicks. Its massive power on such a small Pokémon caused Chief to be launched into the nearby bushes. Oddish panicked and ran after it, leaving Sawsbuck to himself. The two pesky critters that ganged up on it were gone. Relieved, the Normal-type Pokémon allowed itself a moment to catch its breath, but as it saw people and other critter Pokémon had begun streaming out of the wooden cottage, the tension made its back hairs stand up again. This wasn't over yet.
