Begin Again a continuous Kanto journey roleplay. welcome. rated T. Spots available. theme SONG. > RP pad < > sign up in the OOC thread < Kanto is one of the most modern regions in the Pokémon World. With plenty of big cities and routes, and few mysterious or religious places left, some even call Kanto plain or boring compared to the ancient Sinnoh or dramatic Hoenn. Yet, the region is popular, both for business and pleasure. And last but not least for one, major reason: the pokémon league. Some say the league arrangement and organisation originated in Kanto, long time ago. Others say it was just modernized here so that people associate Kanto with pokémon battling. No matter how the actual history goes, the fact remains that natives as well as travelers seek the fame, strength and prizes that can come from being a successful pokémon trainer in this region. And now it's your turn. No matter your background or your age, you have decided to get a League License for this season and start traveling and training to beat or impress all the official gym leaders, collect badges and eventually hope to qualify for the final Pokémon League Tournament atop Indigo Plateau. The League License is usually referred to as a Pokédex - a nifty encyclopedia/minicomputer/phone/ID invented by professor Oak. Since the lowest ranking official gym is situated in Pewter City, most League Challengers begin their journey there. The same goes for you. Regardless of where you started from, you have now reached Brock's town with the few pokémon partners you have captured so far. Are you really ready to take on your first gym already? - All new characters start at the entrance to Mt. Moon - PLAYERS: Spoiler:
AREAS REVEALED: (if you want to go further, say so in the OOC!) ¤ Pewter City Pewter City - "Between rugged mountains." http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af236/Memorii-chan/Pokemon%20Adventures/6648419_m.jpg Pewter City is located in northwest Kanto. To the south lies Viridian Forest and to the east lies Route 3, towards Mount Moon. The most notable resident of the city is Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader. There is also the Pewter Museum of Science and usual places like a PokéMart and a Pokémon Center. The city is rather small. You can only advance to Route 3 once you have beaten Brock. Pewter Gym: Brock is the lowest ranked gym leader in Kanto, but that does not mean that he is weak. He uses rock type pokémon and you are free to portray him as having any kind of rock type pokémon you want, and also any number. Remember to stop writing just as the battle is over, and wait for the GM to decide whether or not you get the Boulder Badge. A deep and sprawling forest that extends around Viridian City. A natural maze, many people become lost inside. To the south lies Route 2, to the north lies Pewter City. You can go here before you challenge Pewter Gym, but you can only go further south and reach Route 2 after you have beaten Brock.

Even after boarding a boat, riding it across the ocean, and even battling and catching a wild Pidgey, the young woman found it hard to believe that she was actually standing here right now. Never in her wildest dreams did she think that she'd be searching in an entirely different region. She glanced down beside her, smiling softly at the sight of an ever-faithful Houndoom named Fang that stood by her side, patiently waiting for his Trainer to begin moving once more. |
Gelius Emerald - Pewter City - Strategy comes first As i came out of the Pokemon Center, i call out Sludges and Bubbles."Bubbles. Sludges. We are now in Pewter City. We are not anymore at home, wich is good." I was talking serious. I never wanted someone to replace my mother. And Lara, dad's wife and my stepmother, never let me have Sludges out of the pokeball in home. "So Sludges can stay out more time than before." I look to the gym. "Maybe we should go to the gym but first i want to go to Viridian Forest." I said. Bubbles and Sludges looked each other and then looked back to me. "There is a great amount of Grass Type pokemon there, and even Pikachu." Bubbles starts to get scared. He didn't liked nether Grass or Electric Pokemon. "Oh come on! There is a pokemon there that catches my intrest!" At least was what the lady told me. I think on my strategy. "Anyway. Sludges, since you know Mud Bomb, you can defeat 1 or 2 Brock's Pokemon. If you get in troubles, i switch to Poliwhirl, if they let me swicth... And defeats the pokemon that you can't!" I start walking towards Viridian Forest. "Thinking well, i think it is better if we buy Pokeballs." I turn back and i enter the pokemart. After buying enough Pokeballs, i start running towards Viridian Forest. "Now lets catch that pokemon or my name isn't Gelius Emerald!" I shout. |
Vernita Glade Adventures http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/387.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/133.gif Intro: Team Destiny BF ~Pewter City~ As Vernita got off from the Altaria, she looked to the woman with blond hair and blue eyes, and she smiled at her. "Thanks for the ride Madame Nelli. I appreciate it and the Eevee." Nelli also got off the Altaria and went to Vernita and hugged her. She also smiled at her. "I should be the one thanking you miss Vernita for not only finding my son but also giving him your pokemon. It must have been hard to give Pachurisu up." Vernita started to imagine the boy, whimpering in the cluttered part of Route 6, all crouched up and alone. He was only about eight, and he had his clothes torn and his brown hair a mess. For an odd reason, seeing him reminded Vernita of her brother Vincent back in Jubilife City. It was Pachurisu who had found him, and Vernita felt obligated to help him out without knowing who he was. Quickly, she picked him up and carried back to the city she came from; Vermilion City. She was about to go to the officer patrolling the streets when Nelli came to Vernita, pointing to the child and saying he was hers. Afterwards, they started to talk while the kid rested, and playing with Pachurisu. Vernita started to explain how she came from Sinnoh to Johto to Kanto. She explained about her ambitions, and how she wanted to challenge the Pokemon League in Kanto. Nelli then recommended to head to Pewter City, where she would get her first badge if she could prove herself worthy. After saying she had a Turtwig and a Pachurisu, Nelli said that the poor squirrel wouldn't be much of a use. "He has a Rock/Ground fusion, so electric moves won't work at all," she said. She then went to the corner of her living room where three Eevee slept, and she picked up the one with a pink ribbon on. She told Vernita to take it as a token of gratitude from her. Plus, she would give her a free ride to the city to save time. But when it was time to go, Pachurisu didn't want to leave, so she let her partner stay with the now happy boy. Now as Vernita stands in Pewter City, she realizes that she does misses her cute pokemon, but she shook the thoughts away. She had her Turtwig and Eevee, and this was after all a new beginning. "It's alright. Pachurisu wasn't much into adventure anyway," Vernita stated. "Plus, I was just at the right place at the right time. And thanks for the ride too." "My pleasure. Well, I should get back to my boy now. I'll be seeing you soon in Vermilion City when you want that third badge." Have a good day," she said cheerfully. "Hope to see you soon." With that, Nelli climbed onto her Altaria, and then she was up in the air. As Vernita waved goodbye, she started to realize she would need a place to sleep. She shrugged her shoulders. "Nah, I'll worry about that for later. For now..." Vernita drew out two pokeballs from her belt and threw them in the air as she pressed the buttons. Out from them a Turtwig and Eevee, and the both cried in unison. "I couldn't have you out while we flew, but now, it's our time!" They cheered, but then stopped when they saw a conflicted look on Vernita. "It's just that where do we go? This is a lot of territory to cover... Oh well, let's just walk." Leaving the doorsteps of the Pokemon Center, she decided to walk up a bit north until she saw a huge building ahead. Apparently curious, Eevee ran north. "Vee! Wait up!" Vernita scooped up Turtwig and ran after her pokemon. She ran for a while until all of them stopped in front of the building, and Vernita read the sign next to her. Welcome to Pewter Museum! Remember, Admission is 50 Pokedollars! "A museum, huh?" Vernita smiled. "Perfect." Together, all of them entered the place. |

Mauve Banzett Spoiler:
Pewter City - Late for a Very Important Date In Pewter City's PokeMart, Mauve was perusing the aisles, picking up a fair supply of Super Potions and Pokeballs. He was wearing his dark, purple, button-up shirt with one button unbuttoned. His grey pants, and black shoes looked very clean, along with his shirt. This was because Mauve was not a fan of dirtiness. Not to an obsessive point, but he will try to becom clean as soon as possible. However, the most notable feature about this young trainer, was that a Weepinbell. More specifically, with his vine wrapped around his trainer, so that the Flycatcher Pokemon could stay out of its Pokeball. He simply observed his trainers actions. Mauve, having finally finished picking out what was needed, stepped up to the register. "Hello, kind sir. I'm finally ready." The cashier, however, was perplexed by the Weepinbell around Mauves chest. "That's a healthy lookin' Weepinbell ya got there. Does he have a name?" Mauve nodded, with a warm smile, and replied, "Why, yes. His name is 'Raze.' This little guy is my partner." The cashier gave a pat to the Weepinbell, saying, "I can tell you care for your Pokemon, sonny. Lemme get you your things. Brock is always ready for new challengers." That's when it hit Mauve, like a sack of rotting potatoes. Brock, the Gym Leader, must be having a match by now. After hurriedly grabbing his things and stocking them into his bag, he began a quick paced walk to the Pewter Gym. "Well, Raze, we'll be at our first bout soon. Are you excited?" The Flycatcher Pokemon rocked back and forth, with a determined look in it's eyes. Mauve smirked, patting his partner. "That's what I like to see, my dear partner." Mauve made it into the Pewter Gym, which had a very cave-like feeling to it. Except for the lanterns and oil lamps perfectly placed throughout the entrance area. An elderly woman was at a desk, looking up at the young trainer. "Well, another trainer already? Welcome, young man." "Thank you, ma'am. Is the Gym Leader available for a battle?" She shook her head. "Sorry, but another trainer went in just moments ago. However, if you'd like, you may have a seat. You can speak with Brock once he finishes this match." Mauve nodded, and thanked the old woman with a bow. He then sat down at a chair, and began to think through some strategies. He knows his Weepinbell was a pretty tough Grass-type, but this is a Gym Leader. He'd have to think of some tricks. |
Gelius Emerald - Viridian Forest - VS. Nuzleaf As i walked deeper in the forest, i started to getting bored. "Come here pokemon!" Sludges was next to me and Bubbles on the pokeball. To find the grass type pokemon, i needed to go deeper on the forest. But i only found here Seedot, Weedle, Caterpie, Hoothoot, Spinarak and Ledyba. But no sight of the grass type pokemon i wanted. I was covered by spider webs. After cleaning myself, i saw the tall grass rustling. I tried to sneak to there. When i was getting close, a Nuzleaf jumped. "It's it! The Nuzleaf. Sludges, Sludge Bomb!" Sludges used his Sludge Bomb. However Nuzleaf jumped and evaded it. My jaw was wide open. How could Sludges fail? "Again Sludges!" As the Sludge Bomb was used, Nuzleaf evades it again. Nuzleaf evaded again and again... At the 15th fail, i was mad like a Tauros. The Nuzleaf was "playing with the fire". Then the worst happened. Nuzleaf started to run. "Hey come back here! I will catch you no matter what happens!" I started to chase Nuzleaf. Then the luck was at my side. Nuzleaf reached to a clearing with no way to run. Nuzleaf get in the battle pose. "You have no way to escape... You are mine! Sludges use Sludge Bomb!" Sludges usde his move. Nuzleaf evaded and then used Razor Wind, making serious damage on Sludges. My jaw was wide open again. Now this Nuzleaf was a really good one. After Razor Wind, Nuzleaf used Faint Attack, dealing serious damage again. But Faint Attack only deals serious damage when the user was at point to faint. Something was wrong. Nuzleaf uses Razor Leaf, but Sldges blocked the move with Sludge Bomb. Then the pieces came all toghether. Another pokemon or people fought him first and he got serious injuries. I return Sludges. "Calm down." I came near him and gave him a Cheri Berry. He munches it. After that Nuzleaf feels better. "Now i understood everything. You fought an electric type pokemon and you got paralyzed." Nuzleaf nods. "But even paralyzed you are fast to evade Sludge Bomb." I got up. Nuzleaf was happy and healthy and that was more important. I could have take the chance and captured it but i didn't. Because that pokemon was suffering. "Well it's up to you to decide if you want or don't want to come with me." |
Vernita Glade Adventures http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/387.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/133.gif Venturing the Museum ~Pewter City~ Upon entering, she was greeted by a clerk in violet clothing. The lady stopped Vernita and smiled at her. "Hello ma'am. Welcome to Pewter Museum of Science! We have many grand displays, and we recently added some new fossils and stones discovered!" "So new displays?" Vernita asked. The lady nodded. "Great! Where are they?" "Not so fast. You must first pay your admission fee, and you can't have two pokemon out at once. You don't want them to ruin the displays, now do you?" Vernita sighed as she pulled out the money and handed it out to the clerk. She then looked at her pokemon, Turtwig and Eevee, and was lost on who to take. She drew out an empty pokeball and pressed the button towards Turtwig. "Sorry Buddy. Might as well get to know Vee a bit more." Once Turtwig was back in his pokeball, the lady let Vernita pass with Eevee. "Have a good time ma'am!" She said encouragingly. As they walked forward, Vernita realized she didn't know where to start. Apparently Eevee did because she ran to a display with some kind of stone in it. Vernita walked up and read the plate under the display. This is a shard of the great Moon Stone on top of Mt. Moon. This stone can make certain pokemon evolve, but it has been rumoured that this stone does not come from Earth. Instead, they say this came from a big meteorite that crashed at the foot of Mt. Moon. There isn't much to point out why this is true, but archeologists managed to find just this shard. "It's very educational, isn't it?" Vernita jumped up in fright, and turned to see who talked to her. She found herself starting at a hiker, and beside him was a Sandslash, holding a tour book in his claws. "I like coming here before I travel to Mt. Moon every year, just to refresh my memory on the bloody mountain. It's actually one of the smallest mountains there is, but the Moon Stone and the fossils gives it some recognition." "So no one truly knows about Mt. Moon then?" "Well, archeologists and scientists will keep on trying to find the answers to their investigations. But take this from a hiker; some things are just meant to be left alone." The Sandslash and Eevee were playing around beside them, trying to catch the booklet the pokemon was holding earlier. "You may be right," Vernita responded a few seconds later. "Look at all the crazy things that happened because of discovery." "Yeah, that's it. But I recommend you to check out the fossils if you plan on going to Mt. Moon. You might stumble upon a fossil and never know what it might be." Vernita smiled and she picked up Eevee. "Okay. And thanks for the chat!" "Anytime miss," the hiker said back. Vernita carried Eevee to the display of fossils and began to investigate it. She looked at a fossil that was orange, but it was shaped like a flat orb. "I think this one is Aerodactyl, since this is the Amber Fossil," Vernita said to Eevee. She was going to the next display when she saw a buff boy with dark blond hair, and he was way taller than her. She went to the boy. "Which fossil is that one?" Vernita asked to the boy. |

Vernita Glade Adventures http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/387.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/133.gif Among Sea Fossils ~Pewter City~ To Vernita's surprise, the boy actually responded back. "Well, it says here these ones are Dome Fossils. Originally being the Pokémon Kabuto." The boy then looked at Vernita, and she saw his blue sea eyes. He was probably checking to see if Vernita caught that, and she did. She actually remembers the fossils from Sinnoh, given that one time she went underground (which she did not like) and went to the museum at Oreburgh in Sinnoh (which she liked better). In a sense, she felt that being in a museum could help her feel a bit closer to home... She hoped Vincent was alright. She then made a mental note to call her brother. Drawing herself back to present, she saw the boy look at another display. "Those other ones over there are Helix fossils," the boy says. "I think the security guard told me they are Omanyte. Apparently they can resurrect some of these fossils, but I don't think they have any actual living fossils here at this museum." The boy then laughed a bit, probably saying an amusing joke or something, at least to Vernita's comprehension. But still, she did vaguely remember that every museum had a fossil revival somewhere, except this was no Safari Zone to be displaying pokemon, live ones at least. The boy shrugged, but then her stared at Vee, which at that point the Eevee got bored and decided to roam around Vernita's legs. "Hey...is that your Pokémon?" Vernita wasn't sure if this was a praise or an insult, but she wasn't sure at all. She shrugged her shoulders and picked up Vee. "Oh, this little Eevee? She wasn't mine until a few hours ago." All of a sudden, Vernita was afraid that this boy here wasn't going to take her seriously, since she was a trainer after all. "But, I didn't come here to challenge Brock with just this Eevee. I brought my Turtwig from Sinnoh to accompany me to get all the badges." She then realized this boy must be a trainer too if he bothered to ask. "Are you a trainer also?" She asked shyly to the boy. She made sure to next time put modesty over curiosity. |
Gelius Emerald - Pewter City - A visit to the sea fossils As i left Viridian Forest and returned Pewter City, i was thinking on a nickname for Nuzleaf. I sent him out. "How about to call you... Leaf?" Nuzleaf liked the name. I was tired and i needed to go faster. I take my skateboard out of my bag. I return Leaf and get on my skateboard. When i was zipping throught the streets i saw the Pewter museum. I couldn't stop this thing. I fell out of my skateboard and the last thing i remember was that i was laying on the museum floor. "Ugh... I'm fine..." I get up and i clean myself. I bring out everyone to see this. I pay the 50$ but the lady talked to me. "Not so fast "Crashing Bullet Boy"!" Seriously she gave me a nickname!? "Only one pokemon can be out or you will destroy everything! Also Grimer is not allowed because we don't want the displays dirty!" "Fine! Sludges and Leaf return." I return Nuzleaf and Grimer. Only Poliwhirl was near me. We looked to a boy and a girl talking near a sea fossil. I go near them and i talk to the boy. "Hello kid how are you doing?" I greeted. I look to the girl. "And what is a lady like you doing with this kid?" I tried to be nice and cool but Bubbles used Water Gun on my face. "Hey Why you did that?" "Anyway... You like the fossils? They are cool huh? I already saw a battle between 2 trainers. And they were using pokemon like this." |

It had taken a bit of debate, but the young woman had mostly figured out a strategy she could probably use to help in her battle against Brock. Of course, the problem was that she had apparently poked around a bit longer than she had meant to. It seemed that during her walk to the gym, a small line of sorts had formed for potential challengers who hoped to battle against the rock-specializing trainer. Normally, Ruby would have just decided to do a bit of sightseeing around the city and just drop by the gym a bit later. However, the woman still felt a bit uneasy about her upcoming battle against Brock. She decided that maybe if she stuck around, she might be able to pick up a tip or two from asking the trainers how their battles went against the man. |
Baby Steps It was not a pleasant evening for Devin. He just got off the train station and was heading to Pewter City when he fell over a hill and got dirt all over his jeans, and followed up by that he almost OHKO'd an Eevee he found on the road. He caught it nonetheless, however it was by the skin of his teeth. Followed up by his catching of the Eevee, who's name he hasn't decided yet, he almost got ran-over by a man riding on a Tauros. Apparently here in the Johto Region, things get more wild than in Hoenn. He was livid with anger, and his hair had gotten messed up. He spent 2 hours trying to comb his hair, while walking, and finally arrived in what seemed to be Pewter City. Immediately after walking into the city he saw a young boy, 2 inches away from him, propelling at high speed into the museum. This was his second brush with death, and he'd been in this region for less than an hour! To think that there are people in the world that want to crush those who have outstandingly fabulous hair. Pitiful creatures. |

Vernita Glade Adventures http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/387.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/133.gif A New Chapter Unfolds ~Pewter City to Viridian Forest~ The boy stood for a few seconds without responding her, but then he nodded. "Yeah, I also came here to challenge Brock. But to be honest it looks like I'm doing a bit more sightseeing than actual battling." As he laughed a bit and played with his hat, it had occurred to Vernita how nervous she was to facing Brock. Sure she had Turtwig's Seed Bomb and Razor Leaf combinations along with Eevee's Dig and Iron Tail moves could take care of his pokemon, but you may never know. After all, he was a Gym Leader. But Vernita didn't get just three badges of Sinnoh for nothing. Well she could have continued on, but she felt that challenging Sinnoh was getting too easy. After all, she knew which pokemon type they were using since she watched countless battles of every gym leader on tv. Her Turtwig, Gastrodon, Pachurisu, and her Gabite were the perfect combination to beat anything. But she wanted something new, something she never had come across before. And Kanto was just the place to do so. "I dunno, I've heard a lot about this museum so I thought I should check it out. I never travelled much, so I like to take advantage when I can." As he said this, he looked back down at the display. Vernita knew how he felt; she used to feel the same years ago when she first started to take care of Vincent. She could feel the suffocation everyday being stuck indoors, never knowing if she was free to go outside. And every time when she could go outside, she cherished it like it was her last. But that was before she realized there was no escape and accepted the responsibilities. "I..." Whatever Vernita said got cut off by a boy that looked about their age and he had brown hair. "Hello kid how are you doing?" Vernita flinched at the voice and she looked to see who this new stranger was referring to. He was looking to the boy next to her. Did they know each other? But based on the quizzical look he wore, it didn't seem likely. The new boy them looked at Vernita. "And what is a lady like you doing with this kid?" Vernita felt her face being flushed, but she was just irritated now, and she usually doesn't get ticked off fast. Whatever positive thoughts she had from this new boy vanished. In all her life, she's never met a person that could be so rude and approachable without sounding like neither. Maybe he was... no, he should know better. "Uhhh... yeah, I'll catch you later," he said to Vernita. "Nice talking to you." He gave a very irritated look at the new boy and he left the museum. Vernita sighed. She didn't even get to know his name. But if he's a trainer and also challenging Brock, she would surely see him around. Then she turned and looked at the rude boy. She really didn't feel like talking to more people if she wanted to challenge Brock. So instead of chatting with this new boy, she told him: "You should be ashamed of yourself young man. No one taught you about manners? I'm going to be really surprised if you are a trainer. And if you are, well good luck getting any badges." With that, Vernita left with her Eevee, who had fallen asleep in her arms, and left the museum. She felt really bad that she told that to the new boy, but she could tell that the boy she was chatting to held his anger. "Eevee, wake up. Vee." The Eevee slowly woke up, and she was surprised to the different environment around her. She leaped off the arms of Vernita and cheered. They walked south of Pewter City to the gym. "Eevee, just looking at this place makes me a bit nervous. I shouldn't be since I was conquering the Sinnoh league, but I feel that we should train more. After all, someone is already challenging Brock." Eevee nodded, clearly grateful that they weren't going inside a building soon. She left the gym doorsteps and climbed over the ledges. She really didn't feel like making a u-turn. They skipped all about until they were close to Viridian Forest. "Shall we?" Eevee looked at the huge trees ahead, and they were intimidating. But as she sniffed, she could tell that there was some delicious food there. She cheered, and they were about to enter the forest when two campers rushed in and bumped into Vernita as they left the forest. "Sorry," the boy mumbled. "Are you going in there?" asked the girl. "Sure," Vernita said. "Why not?" "Because of the hoard of Pikachu that keeps on electrifying everyone," stated the girl. "They go in a group and attack anyone they see." "Thanks for the warning," Vernita said. Those poor Pikachu might be misunderstood. Maybe they're defending their territory or something... Eevee looked a bit more excited to enter the forest, and both of them entered the maze. |
Maxwell "Max" Hudson
Pewter City > Museum It was quite a long journey from Johto to Kanto, but Max had finally arrived in Pewter City. He would have gotten there sooner, were it not for Max getting distracted with some things along the way. He had to stop to buy some supplies, he stopped to sketch some adorable scenes of wild Pokemon that he would never get the opportunity to do again, and most importantly, he caught a Cleffa along the way. It was good addition to his collection of Fairies. Not that two Pokemon could really be considered a collection. At first, Max wasn't interested in this whole Pokemon Trainer thing. Sure, he traded away the Dratini his dad got for him in exchange for a Togepi that some kid didn't want, but it was intended to be a pet rather than a fighter. Besides, it wasn't like he could let adorable Togepi stay with some boy who didn't want it... After his father's reaction to his desire to be an artist instead of a trainer, the fact that he traded away his Dratini, and him coming out of the closet in the heat of the moment, caused Max to run away from home. They let Pokemon trainers wander around on their own, so why not? He had to battle wild Pokemon and trainer's, and sell random junk he found on the street to make money. It was worth it in the end though, because all that battling experience caused his Togepi to evolve into a Togetic. After spending some time thinking about it, Max decided to get his license and become a trainer after all. He would do it in the Kanto region, so he wouldn't have to return home right away. Becoming an accomplished trainer with the Pokemon he liked best was a perfect way to teach his father, and all those bullies back home a lesson. Getting the Gym Badges of Kanto seemed like a good way to start on that goal. Now that Max was in Pewter City, he wasn't sure what to do next, The town was small, and their didn't seem like much to do there besides the Gym, but he had just arrived. He wasn't in the mood to participate in an important Gym battle when he spent so much of his day getting to the town in the first place, and was tired from the journey. The first thing he did, was release his two Pokemon from their balls. In a flash of light, a Cleffa and a Togetic appeared before him. After spending so much time alone, these two were the closest thing to a family Max had right now. "Come guys, let's go see what there is to do around here." He took Aurora the Cleffa into his arms, and Belle the Togetic floated beside him. As he wandered around the town, he passed by a Museum. At first, Max was excited, believing it to be an art museum. Then realized after reading the sign more closely that it was a science museum. "Hm... there doesn't seem to be much else here besides the Gym, may as well go see what this is about." --- After paying the small entry fee, Max walked around, but only saw rocks, rocks, and more rocks. Max was starting to get bored of it. "Ugh, do they have anything here besides rocks?!" Something caught his Cleffa's attention. He waved her tiny arms around frantically, and started shouting. "Cleffa! Clef!" She pointed to one of the displays. "What is it Aurora?" The boy turned around to see what the Cleffa was getting excited about. He saw that she was pointing to a display case containing yet another rock. "...It's another rock..." Aurora sighed in exasperation "Cleffa..." Belle understood what Aurora was getting excited about, and floated over to the display, and calmly pointed to the small sign describing the stone inside. "Togetic." Max read the sign carefully, and finally understood his Pokemon's excitement. "Ohhh, it's a Moon Stone! I get it now." Moon Stones caused Clefairy to evolve into Clefable, so it made sense that the small Fairy type had a connection to the space rock. Her trainer still thought it was just a mere rock... Thankfully, there was something better for Max to pay attention to, or rather... someone. It was a cute blonde boy in glasses and wearing a purple suit. The guy seemed close to Max's age, and he seemed much more interested in the Moon Stone than Max was. Since he rarely ever had an actual human to talk to, Max decided it was a good time for a friendly hello. "Hey there buddy!" Max exclaimed, giving the guy a light pat in the back. "You look like you're really into that rock." |
Gelius Emerald - Pewter City - Strategy Failed The girl and the boy left with rude face. I got really angry. My strategy failed. Bubbles splashed my face. "I know what to do... Try to see whit is her problem..." Bubbles sighed. As i left, i remembered that my skateboard was here and it wasn't anymore. Then i see Gary Clark. The popular kid of the school. "Thanks for your skateboard you looser!" He said as he ran away with my skateboard, laughing. I hate that guy! G. Clark (his nickname) is an arrogant boy and the cool one at the school. Gavin, my best friend, was the smart one; Larry, G. Clark's best friend, was the tough one and i was the cute one at our school. Me and Gary are always fighting for everything, which reminds me my brother. I saw the Pokemon Gym. I was already imagining it; I would be the first one of course. I enter and i got shocked. I was like the last one. Sludges, Leaf and Bubbles were almost laughing. "How can i be the last one?!" I could not believe. I sit down and start to be nervous. Leaf sits down with Sludges and Bubbles (That was really tired) tried to sleep. About me... I decided to read my strategy. |
Sigurður "Sigur" Gunnarsson Viridian Forest "Caught Between a Gabite and a Hard Place" The car ride from Celadon City to Vermilion City's port had taken about four hours, with an extra half an hour or so spent trying to navigate through the bustling harbour in search for the correct boat to jump aboard. Seriously, whose genius idea was it to name those things after women, instead of, you know, the actual route they were taking? S.S.Mary-Sue didn't mean shit. S.S.Pallet-Vermilion would have spoken volumes. But, you know, rich bastards and their need to give female characteristics to inanimate objects they owned so they could feel slightly less creepy for getting boners staring at them. Couldn't be helped. Sigur wasn't entirely sure how long the boat ride that followed had taken, considering how he'd spent half of it in his cabin's bathroom bent over a toilet, half trying to prevent Bál from jumping overboard in an attempt to fight whatever random water Pokémon she felt had tried to pick a fight with her. If he had to guess, he'd said it took forever. A more realistic estimation would probably be a day or so. It had been a cruiser ship meant for sea gazing, after all. Or so he was told. He didn't particularly care, considering all he'd been gazing at was whatever he'd eaten that day. Regardless, from there, the walk from Pallet Town to Viridian city had taken five or so hours. And then the trip through Viridian Forest had taken... what? "Almost eight fucking hours?" Sigur groaned, directing his accusing words at the dragon Pokémon making a mess out of what had to be the gazillionth Weedle that day. The teen was sitting atop a tree stump, his bag discarded somewhere to his right and back pressed against whatever plant happened to grow behind him. His arms were folded, icy gaze alternating between glaring daggers at his wristwatch and his starter. Although, at the moment, he was solely focusing on the latter. "You think that's enough?" He questioned, tone raised just enough to convey his sarcastic tone without drowning it out with irritation. "You think you've left a big enough pile of bug corpses to last you a while? 'Cause I'm starving like hell and the city's still like an hour's walk from here." Bál merely pulled her claws from the side of its latest 'opponent' - although Sigur preferred the term 'victim of circumstance', in this case - and merely scoffed in response. If her trainer wasn't willing to actively seek out battles for her, she had to do it herself. And besides, that Kakuna had clearly challenged her by not moving from her path when she approached. She let her opinion be known by the only way she knew how; repeating her name a few times before returning to her search for her next source of experience. Sigur grunted. "I freaking swear," he breathed, glancing at the Pokéball on his belt. 'Let her be outside her ball' his parents had said when they'd first given her to him. 'Let her get used to the outside world' they'd said. Well he had, and look where that'd gotten him; she refused to go back in, and even if through some miracle he did manage to force her there, she just forced her way out a second later, only ten times more irritated than she'd been prior. And considering her usual state of mind seemed to be irked out, that was saying a lot. Ugh. How the hell did some people enjoy this? He'd sat in one damn spot for half the day, watching his sentient critter beat up other sentient critters in a forest that smelled of Pikachu droppings. Yeah, best way to spend your day ever. He couldn't wait to continue this wonderful journey. Speaking of Pikachu... weren't those things supposed to be rare? He'd heard as much from some random teenage chick back abroad S.S.Whatever. Yeah, not the most trusted source to be sure, but considering her squealing had been high-pitched enough to break class when she'd heard talk about going to Viridian Forest, he had reasons to believe she'd done her research. That, and when he'd seen people show-off their prized Pokémon as a kid, he'd rarely seen a Pikachu included. Of course, that could just mean that they were not worth bragging about, but... well, whatever. It was just sort of weird that for a while now, he'd seen a bunch of those things stealing peeks at him from the bushes. At least, he figured it was them; he didn't know any other electric type indigenous to the area. Well, not that it mattered much. He wasn't really afraid of them or whatever. He was more concerned over the occasional Beedrill flying overhead, to be honest. He wasn't really afraid of bugs but yikes. Talk about disturbing. Just then, Bál spotted something in the distance and stomped off to find whatever she'd deemed to be her next punching bag, and Sigur could do little but sigh and fix his sitting position to be more comfortable. He was getting tired. At this rate, he'd have to move his Gym Battle for tomorrow. Not that he really looked forward to it anyway, but the sooner he got all the badges or whatever, the sooner he was done with this whole journey business. And then he could go back to doing what he was doing before. Which... uh, was nothing, pretty much. But it beat this any day. A rustle from his right startled Sigur into vigilance. As he turned, he saw a yellow ball of fur on all fours glaring up at him, cheeks releasing small crackling bursts of electricity in the air. For all intents and purposes, it did not look too happy. Sigur cocked an eyebrow, pushing himself to sit straight. "Huh? What d'ya want?" He asked, head slightly tilted. The Pokémon didn't answer, just took a step closer, sparks flying from its fur. Instinctively, the teen edged a bit further away, still sitting on the stump. "What? I don't have any food or shit to give you. I'd eaten them myself if I did." That answer didn't seem to satisfy the rodent, as its advance continued and tail twitched in what was decidedly annoyance. It glanced to where Bál had wrecked havoc earlier, and Sigur followed its gaze, confused. It didn't take long for him to realize what the matter was, though; lying in the bushes a little distance from them was a familiar looking creature, unconscious and scratched up. Bál had apparently attacked a Pikachu among all the other things she'd knocked out. Uh, okay then? So was this thing, like, after revenge or sh- Before Sigur could mentally finish his sentence, the Pikachu had already answered by leaping from its spot on the ground, whole body covered in yellow light as it attempted to tackle Sigur's head. Letting out a somewhat uncharacteristically high yelp, the blonde scrambled to his feet, grabbing his bag and distancing himself from the rapid rodent - and what seemed to be its pals emerging from the nearby bushes - as fast as he humanly could. Oh shit. "B-Bál, hey, Bál! If you want things to beat up, I've got-," he glanced behind him, but the Gabite was nowhere in sight. "... Bál? O-oi!" No answer. Great. Perfect. "Fuck!" Throwing his backbag over his shoulder, Sigur kicked into a run. Suddenly, he kind of missed only having to worry about an empty stomach and having to sit in a place smelling of rodent crap. Well, on the bright side, it probably couldn't get worse than this, right? Unless, well, the things actually caught up to him. ... Just in case, Sigur sped up his running pace. ------------- Pokémon on Hand http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/444f.gif Bál, ♀ Ability: Sand Veil Moveset: - Dragon Claw - Body Slam - Dig - Sandstorm - Hone Claws |
Mauve Banzett and Ruby Cosgrove Featuring MurkMire and Carnivore Chie! A Warm Welcome Mauve was suddenly stirred from his thoughts by a voice, seemingly directed at him. He looked up, and saw quite a lovely girl. She had black hair, and a blonde patch. Mauve was... well, taken aback. She was quite easy on the eyes, and looked quite athletic. He was certainly stuck on a reply, as Mauve was never around people his age. Raze, however, greeted the girl with a hearty "Bellllll!" "Well, aren't you a friendly little guy," Ruby greeted, glancing down at the Weepinbell that was hanging around the boy's shirt. Fang glanced up at the duo, looking between the boy and his Grass-type before letting out a loud, hearty bark. She glanced over at her Houndoom, nodding and giggling softly. Rub reached down and scratched behind his ear gently. "Yes, yes... I haven't forgotten you were here, Fang." As soon as the girl's Houndoom barked, Mauve jumped in his seat, and looked down at the Dark Pokemon. He shivered a bit, and muttered a reply, "S-Sure, have a seat." Raze was swinging back and forth in delight. Mauve, however, could feel his heart racing ever so slightly, with the gorgeous girl and the Fire-type that he could only assume was her partner. Raze swung a little bit, trying to help Mauve calm down a bit. He looked down, and patted his partner. With a deep breath, he looked up at her. "It's okay. I'm not holding this seat," he said with a nervous chuckle. Ruby gave the boy another smile and took the seat beside him promptly. Fang took a seat by her feet, stretching his body out for a moment before coming to curl up comfortably on the floor. She then extended a hand out to Mauve, deciding that it was probably polite to introduce herself next. "Thanks for letting me sit here. I really didn't wanna wander around town and end up getting stuck in an even longer line to challenge the gym leader," Ruby said. "My name is Ruby, by the way. It's nice to meet you... uh..." Mauve extended his hand, and shook her hand firmly. He eyed her Houndoom, still a bit uneasy, but tried to swallow his increasing discomfort. "My n-name is Mauve. Nice t-to meet y-you. M-Mauve B-Banzett. Um... yes?" Mauve felt a metaphorically large sweat drop descend upon him, as he noticed that Ruby noticed his discomfort. "Mauve...? Well, that's a nice name," Ruby said, continuing to make small talk. She gave the boy a curious glance, suddenly feeling a bit awkward. "Is... everything okay? You're looking a bit flushed... Oh, I know. You're probably a bit nervous, aren't you? I can't blame you. This is my first gym battle, so I've got a few butterflies in my stomach too." "Eheh... it is, thank you. Your name is lovely, too." He smiled back at her, but panicked on the inside. Mauve couldn't help but be charmed by this charming girl, yet intimidated by her Houndoom. He remembered what his mother told him about interacting with others... "Mauve, if you want to make a good impression, you must be honest, and confident." He hung his head, and sighed deeply. Taking a big gulp of air, he sat up, looking Ruby in the eye. "To be quite honest..." He looked down at her partner Pokemon, and then back at her. He tried and tried to think of a way to not only be honest, but also not anger her. "You see, I... have a fear of Fire-type Pokemon." His glasses slid a bit, but he slid them back up with an index finger. Raze looked up at Mauve, feeling his heart beat even faster. A small whine of confusion was heard from Fang as he glanced up. The Fire-type glared slightly in annoyance at Mauve, as if he was offended by the fact that the boy was afraid of him. Ruby giggled at the scene before her, petting her Houndoom gently and getting the dog to lay back down on the floor once more. After calming Fang down, Ruby returned her attention to Mauve. "You don't have to worry about Fang. He's harmless, really..." Ruby assured him. A small smirk quickly came to her lips. "He'd never actually hurt you or anything like that... usually." With a sigh of relief, Mauve was able to calm himself. For the most part. Though, when her Houndoom glared up at Mauve, he felt his spine stiffen greatly. "Well, if you say so... my apologies," Mauve replied with another nervous chuckle. He smiled at her, after parting his bangs away from his right eye. Trying to keep up the small talk, Mauve asked Ruby, "Well... back to your previous question... I'm not too worried. Sure, my new Koffing may have some trouble, but Raze can get the job done. Isn't that right, partner?" Mauve looked down to a smiling Weepinbell, slightly swinging. Looking back at Ruby, he then asked, "What about you? How do you feel about facing this gym leader?" "I'm absolutely terrified," Ruby said, giving Mauve a small grin as she answered. "I don't really have any Pokémon that have a great advantage over Rock-types. So, I pretty much have to come up with a great strategy right off the bat or else I won't have a prayer." The young woman paused, bringing a finger to her lips as if she was suddenly thinking something over. "Hey, how about you let me watch you and steal a few tips?" With a small frown, Mauve thought maybe it would be a good idea to let her watch. But, on the other hand... her, watching him battle in his first gym battle... made him quite nervous. "Ahem... Yes, absolutely. I'd be more than happy to let you watch," Mauve said with a nervous smile. Weepinbell rattled a bit, then smiled at Ruby. Ruby let out a small, light-hearted giggle. "Oh, don't worry. I was just kidding, actually. I wouldn't dare pry into your private matters like that," she replied. "Besides, if I need to steal tips on how to beat the first gym leader, then something tells me I'd probably be in the wrong career path anyways and would most likely need to head on home to Johto... Speaking of which, where are you from? You've got that accent that tells me we're from the same region." "Well, I don't know about that... I mean, this Gym Leader uses Rock-types, of course. And usually, they're also part Ground-types. Which could cause serious problems for Fire-types like Houndoom," Mauve explained. His knowledge really shined when it came to his research of the Kanto gym leaders. When Ruby asked about them being possibly from the same region, Mauve replied with, "If you mean Johto, then yes. I come from Ecruteak City. My mother was originally an incredible Coordinator, but, she wanted to teach Pokemon dancing where it originated. What about you?" Mauve was very curious, wondering if she lived close to his hometown. "Violet City, born and raised," Ruby answered, crossing her arms and leaning back in her seat a bit. "I live... Well, lived with my Granny and little sister there. Granny worked at the local PokéMart, while my sister and I usually helped her out there part time." Fang's ears perked up as his trainer began to talk a bit. The Houndoom slowly picked himself off the ground and made his way towards Ruby, where he then nudged his snout against her leg in an attempt to gain the woman's attention. "Don't worry, we wouldn't forget you either... Fang was also from Violet City. I found him there back when he was just a stray, little Houndour." "I see... well, I'm glad he found a good trainer." He winked, and looked down at his partner. "I met Raze because of my mother. I was homeschooled by my mother, and when I turned 16, my mother gave me this little guy as a Bellsprout. We became close very quickly." He smiled down, and was met with a happy Weepinbell. "Speaking of our Pokemon, do you have any others with you?" Mauve asked, interested as to what else she may have. "Nothing amazing special, if you're hoping to see a rare species," Ruby answered. "I caught a Pidgey on my way here. I figured that having a flyer as one of my first teammates would always be a good idea. Of course, that was before I discovered that the first gym leader I'd be fighting would be using Rock-types..." "Pidgey, and their evolved forms, are quite the reliable Flying-type Pokemon. You can't go wrong with a Pidgey," he explained. Hesitating, Mauve continued with, "Well, I don't remember if I said, but I caught Huff 'n Puff, my dear Koffing on the way." He knew Ruby was going to have a difficult time with the Gym Leader. He didn't want to think it, but she may struggle with him, too. "Maybe I should stick around to help... just in case. She seems like a pleasant girl to be around... plus, she's very beautiful." The two continued to talk and enjoy their company, forgetting where they were while chatting. |
Vernita Glade Adventures http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/387.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/133.gif The Odd Mystery of Viridian Forest ~Viridian Forest~ Vernita and Eevee started to stroll along the forest, and both sighed as they breathe in the fresh air. "This is why I came here," Vernita said to herself. Eevee, curious as to what exactly she was saying, cried out to her. Vernita turned to look at her. "Oh, I mean why I came to Kanto. Sinnoh is pretty developed, and most of the cities can be suffocating sometimes. And here in Kanto, there's so much nature to explore, from these forests to the mountains... and the beauty..." Apparently Eevee thought the same thing, because she cried out to her trainer and nudge her. Vernita started to wonder how a recently new pokemon could like her already, but then she remembered she was just a new born. So basically both of them were pretty new to Kanto. After a while of walking in silence, the two of them stopped when they heard some noise. At first, they thought that it was nothing, but as they slowly walked closer, they heard screams from people and cries from Pikachu, lots of them. Vernita took out Turtwig. "Listen to me," said Vernita. "We're going to help those people out, but we're going to have to engage in battle. Just try not to harm anyone too much, okay?" Turtwig automatically nodded, and Eevee gave a battle cry. "Okay, let's go!" All of them ran east of where they were to a camp. The tent was intact, but everything else was a huge mess; whatever supplies left remained in the rubble, scattered everywhere, and the people screaming were surrounded by at least four Pikachu, electricity taking over their bodies. Eevee and Turtwig stopped in their tracks as they saw they were outnumbered. Vernita barely caught up with her pokemon when she stepped on a lone stick, and the pack turned to look at the new spectators. Two of the Pikachu backed away from their positions and went towards the pokemon. Before they could get closer, Turtwig unleashed a Seed Bomb attack of the Pikachu to the right. The one to the left tried to jump on Vernita, and thanks to her small size, she managed to doge the attack. She then noticed something. "Eevee! Eevee, where are you?!" Her pokemon then sprang from the ground and launched herself at the Pikachu, sending it flying to a bush. She looked at her pokemon and smiled. She saw the other Pikachu there trying to retreat, but Turtwig gave them a chase. Vernita then went to where the campers were there frozen, and she went there and told them: "You might want to get out of here while you can. I'm sure there are more of these pokemon here. I'll hold them all, but I appreciate if you can get backup in Pewter City." All of them nodded and they ran towards the exit, but one stayed behind. "You might as well get some potions from our camp. After all, it will be a while." Vernita nodded as the girl broke off to a sprint and ran towards her friends. Noticing it was just her and Eevee, she said: "Eevee, do you mind sniffing out where Turtwig went?" Eevee gave a cry and went deeper into the forest. Before she followed her, Vernita tooks some supplies, including some food, berries, and potions, and ran after Vee. She saw the fox run until they came in a clearing. She saw Turtwig fighting with the run away Pikachu, but then she heard a very high yelp not far from her. She turned her head to pin a location, but she wasn't too sure of herself. "Turtwig! Use a Razor Bomb!" Turtwig nodded and surrounded himself in a cloak of Razor Leafs, but then he charges at the Pikachu, and coming in contact, he released Razor Leafs and Seed Bombs and hit them. One of the Pikachu got up and this time Eevee gave it a pursuit. Turtwig and Vernita did their best to keep up, but Vernita stopped as from the corner of her eye a boy. She and Turtwig went over there and saw a boy fasten some shoes. All she saw was blond hair, but as he lifted up his head, she saw piercings on him. What awed Vernita that he was here without a pokemon. "Hey!" Vernita yelled out to him. "You really shouldn't be out alone in the wild without a pokemon in a forest, especially this one. Mainly because-" Whatever came next was lost because a Pikachu that was perching in a tree lunged at Vernita and she wrestled it on the ground. Hurry, she said to herself. Hurry before this pokemon charges up. The Pikachu started to get some electricity on its cheeks when a Razor Leaf attack came and Vernita freed herself of the Pikachu. She flushed and breathed hard, unknown as to what to do next. |
Keia MacBeth Viridian Forest "The Grumpy Mushroom Thing" The fresh mountain air filled Keia's lungs as she stepped outside of the Pokemon Center she'd stayed at for a cigarette. The rooms were all non-smoking, and anyway she didn't believe in smoking indoors. She lit up and leaned against the wall a courteous distance away from the front door. It was still fairly early and a chill Keia hadn't been prepared for clung to her skin. Back in Cinnabar her tank top and jeans were more than sufficient. But now she mused that she should have brought her jacket down with her, just in case. That was something she was going to have to get used to. Cinnabar provided a warm, breezy climate with the occasional cold snap ferried in on the ocean. Not everywhere would be like that, and she couldn't assume anything. Though the change in temperature was such a simple thing, the nerves that had remained just beneath the surface bubbled up again. Keia was so far from home, so far from what she knew. It was hard not to feel a little shell shocked. It would help if she at least had half an idea what she was doing in battle. A little experience would be nice. But her knowledge lay in the more technical aspects of things rather than the practical application. That would have to change soon if she were to have any chance in the League. There had to be others starting with a cleaner slate than hers, but among the challengers she knew were those with the knowledge and skill to sweep through the circuit like it was nothing. They intimidated her more than anything else. They were her peers, the standard that she felt she had to hold herself to. As it always did, though, the simple act of inhaling and blowing smoke through her nose helped her calm down. If she put it all in perspective her lack of experience wasn't such a bad thing. What was it Blaine told his trainees? "I'd rather you know nothing and let me teach you everything, than you think you know everything and me have to teach you that you know nothing." She could start from the ground up and figure it out as she went. And if she lost a gym battle or two? So what. She could just try again after a little more training. Keia dropped the remnants of her cigarette in the bin and headed inside to pack up. She could probably get a few extra hours of sleep in if she really wanted to, but she would much rather get going. She wanted to check out Viridian Forest to the south before she went to the gym, and with any luck she would bring a new partner into her team. As she'd never caught a Pokemon before, Keia wanted to give herself plenty of time to make mistakes and blunder about. She yawned wide and stepped into the elevator, stretching her sleepy limbs. Her body hadn't quite got the memo that it was time to be awake. She'd always had trouble waking up in the morning, and for this simple reason she headed for the coffee maker as soon as she got back to her room. While it brewed she packed her belongings into the black and burgundy backpack she'd bought before leaving Cinnabar. As she'd packed as light as she could there wasn't much to worry about just yet. She was done far before the coffee finished, leaving her time to straighten the room up just a bit. Though it was technically the maid's job she didn't like to leave a mess. Cleanliness and respect for others was something her father had drilled into her from a young age, and it still stuck. When the coffee was finished Keia poured it into a foam cup, sweetened it to taste, and popped the lid on. She had originally planned to sit and relax while she drank, maybe wake up a little more, but she felt far too antsy for that. Instead she double checked the belt around her waist that held Harley’s ball and five empty ones and then headed downstairs to return the key to the front desk. This was it, the actual start to a journey she didn’t feel all that ready for. It was terrifying, but more than that it was exhilarating. She took deep lungfuls of the fresh morning air--able to enjoy it properly now that she’d donned her jacket--and took the path south. The sparse trees on either side of the path soon grew dense around her until the sunlight that filtered through their leaves cast a green tint on the dirt. Keia had never been to a forest before, though she’d always wanted to go. It was just as pretty as she’d thought it would be. Everywhere she looked she could see Bug Pokemon crawling about in the trees, stretching their wings or having a breakfast of leaves. The grass rustled here and there as she disturbed the wildlife. Most of them fled before she even had the chance to see what she’d found. That was alright; though she’d come here to catch a Pokemon she was in no rush. When she saw the right one she would know. And with that thought she peered beyond a bush to find a strange Pokemon she’d never seen before staring up at her with the most cantankerous expression. It was squat and fat with a body the color of dead leaves, covered in green spots. It looked quite a bit like a mushroom, Keia decided as she watched it curiously. It seemed to have nothing but contempt for her and it turned to waddle away on clumsy little feet. But Keia liked it, and she wanted it. She took a step back and pressed the button on Harley’s ball. That, at least, she knew was the right thing to do. Harley nickered in greeting, her ears perked and eyes bright. “Harley, Tail Whip on… uh… the mushroom thing.” She snorted and tilted her head, not sure what Keia meant, until she made a vague hand gesture in the direction of the disinterested Grass type. Only then did Harley realize this was an actual battle. The equine perked up and immediately moved to do as she had asked. She charged at the mushroom Pokemon and turned at the last second, swatting at it with her tail. The force was enough to make the unbalanced Pokemon fall on its face. It made an odd gurgling sound of distress and struggled to right itself. Now that it recognized Keia and Harley as a threat its frown deepened. It shook its body--Keia noticed with some degree of fascination that its upper body swished freely, almost like a dress--and emitted yellow spores from the top of its head. Harley didn’t wait for instructions before scrambling away. It didn’t take battle training for her sensitive nose to recognize the powder as a danger to her. “Good! Use…um… Stomp.” As soon as the air was clear enough Harley charged at the little mushroom and stomped down on it with her front hooves. It hissed and backed away in a daze. That had to be good enough, right? Keia picked one of the empty Pokeballs off of her belt, her heart thudding in her ears, and threw it. The capsule opened and swallowed up the Pokemon in a jet of red light. It fell onto the grass and shook. Once. Twice. Three times. |
@ Keia
But the pokeball sprung open again! The grumpy mushroom thing returned to its true size and shape, and it was grumpier than ever, spores still lingering dangerously in the air around it. Apparently, it was too tough to let itself be overwhelmed by a few physical attacks... Let there be fire? |

Sigurður "Sigur" Gunnarsson Viridian Forest "Something New Every Day" So, much to Sigur's surprise and joy, it turned out that a panicking teenager could actually outrun a pack of crazy-ass Pokémon when scared enough. Never before had Sigur ran quite as fast - and with as complete disregard for everything that got in his way - as he did now, and while his chest did feel like it was about to burst and he believed that after this was done and over with, his leg muscles could compete with a Machoke's, he didn't show any signs of slowing down. Funny thing. Maybe he'd done better in PE class if he'd just had the motivation he did now. Sigur had yet to find a trace of his supposed Pokémon companion when a shout from somewhere suddenly stole his attention. He turned his head in surprise, having assumed - and certainly enough, hoped - that the first familiar creature he'd run into would be Bál, but eh. He'd take what he was given. Anything was better than the buckteeth following him. "You really shouldn't be out alone in the wild without a pokemon in a forest, especially this one." "No shit, really?" Sigur grunted back irritably before he could stop himself. Great, the first person he saw in the forest was the genderflipped version of Captain Obvious. Regardless, he took a turn and started to run towards girl who, upon closer inspection, was tiny as hell. Could she really even help? Well, at the very least she could divide the attention of the hord chasing him, and she did have some sort of a turtle with some major overshot going on with her. Far better than a Gabite who was nowhere in sight, in any case. "Mainly because-" the girl started in an attempt to continue, but before she could finish whatever it was she was about to say, a yellow blur suddenly assaulted her from above, effectively startling Sigur's run to come to a sudden halt. Holy hell, what, could the yellow sons of bitches fly now?! The girl fell, wrestling with the Pokémon on the ground before her own critter managed to knock her assailant away. Oh, so the thing was good for something else than turtle soup. That was certainly good to know. ... Too bad that in the time it had taken them to recover from the Pikachu's attack, they'd become completely surrounded by the Pikachu. Shit. "Damn it... Hey, pipsqueak," he called out to the girl, slowly backing away from the Pokémon and closer to her - and subsequently, her Pokémon. He wanted to stand as close to their only source of defense as he could. He nodded towards the Turtwig. "I hope you've trained that thing to fight dirty, 'cause our asses are done for if not." The sound of few of the Pikachu charging up electricity drowned out whatever answer she gave, and just as Sigur started to try and find the best direction to dash towards, a familiar growl reached his ears. He shot a quick glance to his left, heart beating hopefully. And surely enough, standing only a little distance away from them, head tilted and eyes alight with curiosity over her trainer's predicament was no other than Bál the Goddamned Traitor from Hell. Halle-fucking-lujah. "There you are! Where the hell've you been?! Get your ass here and bail me - uh, us outta here, stat!" He figured he might as well help the lil girl as well. He didn't feel like getting charges for neglect on top of everything else. And he... did kinda owe her one, and all. A grin spread on Bál's face and without a moment wasted, she called out her name and started to run towards the scene, claws raised and glowing. Sigur'd already started to feel relief stirring and a grin climbing on his face when, instead of sinking her claws into the electric mice, the dragon suddenly bent downwards instead, claws burrowed into the soft soil below. And then, before Sigur could really understand what was happening, she'd burrowed her way out of sight, leaving her trainer just staring in disbelief, grin gone and mouth agape. "... W-wha-?!" Sigur snapped, taking a step backwards when some of the Pikachu who'd turned to look at the newcomer turned back to him and the girl again. "Bál, you asshole, what the hell're you're doing? Running away? We aren't planting a goddamn garden, you were supposed t-" Before Sigur could embarrass himself with his lack of Pokémon knowledge any further, Bál suddenly emerged from the ground right underneath a few of the electric Pokémon, the force of the ground breaking apart underneath them sending them flying every which way before they met a very rough landing and fainted on the spot. Grinning, Bál turned to glance at the two humans and the small grass Pokémon behind her, head cocked proudly as if to challenge it to do what she'd just done. Sigur blinked. "... Oh. That... that works too, I guess..." The blonde mumbled, embarrassed. He felt his cheeks fluster slightly, but quickly shook it away before he turned to the girl. "Uh... hey, so.. yeah!" He tried in an attempt to win back some kind of authority here. "Your turtle can fight, yeah? Then lend me a damn hand here!" With that, he turned his back again, hoping to Arceus she hadn't seen him all flustered and shit. Embarrassing himself in front of some girl scout wasn't exactly an ideal start to an afternoon. But goddamnit, how was he supposed to know what attacks the Gabite knew? "Bál, use the... the thing you did just now! And make it fast!" ------------- Pokémon on Hand http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/444f.gif Bál, ♀ Ability: Sand Veil Moveset: - Dragon Claw - Body Slam - Dig - Sandstorm - Hone Claws |
Vernita Glade Adventures http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/387.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/133.gif Electrical Numbers ~Viridian Forest~ By the time Vernita recovered herself, more Pikachu appeared and had surrounded them completely. They look pretty irritated, probably by the fact that they had foes to deal with. But they growled and static passed by their cheeks, ready to shock whoever. "Hey, pipsqueak!" The boy from before called out to Vernita. Pipsqueak is a new word that she heard of that referred to her. She's been called nanny, great babysitter, sulken, childish, midget, tiny, but pipsqueak was a first. Interesting. She saw the boy coming near her, probably from protection since he seems to have no pokemon. "I hope you've trained that thing to fight dirty, 'cause our asses are done for if not." At this point, Vernita should have blasted off at this rude boy, but she withheld it. Vernita was just mainly mad that people didn't think much of her and her unevolved partner. She's trained hard, day and night, with her Buddy evet since she was fourteen. It took a while because Vernita at first sucked at battling, but overtime knew how to master it. Maybe if she had something like her Gastrodon or Gabite, people wouldn't think of her lowly. Just wait until this boy meets Eevee. Speaking of Eevee, she wonders where her new pokemon chased that Pikachu... "Hey, at least I have a pokemon," Vernita said sharply, but her response was drowned out with the harsh cries of the Pikachu. "There you are!" The boy yelled out loud, making the Pikachu closest to them growl. "Where the hell've you been?! Get your ass here and bail me - uh, us outta here, stat!" Vernita turned her head around until she saw a lone Gabite. She assumed based on the frequent cursing of this boy, the Gabite was not exactly obedient to him. As the pokemon approached them, she saw the lack of respect it had and something else in its eyes. But what is it? But a ground type is the best choice here for sure, mainly because they can demolish electric types. If only she had her other pokemon... Vernita then saw the Gabite grin, and she saw the malice in the eyes, but Vernita knew this pokemon was going to help them, just in its own way. It charged towards the Pikachu and as it lifted up its claws, it started to dig. Vernita saw the distinct fin on the back of this land shark, indicating that this is a female. So then she disappeared as she dug in the ground. "... W-wha-?!" At this point, the Pikachu growled in unison as they turned around, obviously not impressed with the boy's attitude more than Vernita. But based by this, she could tell that the boy didn't trust the Gabite much. Who knows why she ran away from her trainer in the first place? "Bál, you *******, what the hell're you're doing? Running away? We aren't planting a goddamn garden, you were supposed t-" Vernita was about to tell the boy to calm down when his Gabite poped out from the ground, sending a group of Pikachu above the earth flying up and falling down. Based on their looks, battling would not happen anytime soon. Turtwig beside her also gaped at the sight of this just like the boy. Maybe he needs to know more of his pokemon. "Don't worry Turtwig," Vernita whispered to her pokemon. "Someday you'll be to do that too." After this, the Gabite posed itself in front of Vernita and the boy and cocked her head at Turtwig. The turtle growled in response, sensing the mockery and the challange behind it. If this Gabite could, Vernita thought, she'd be the one training the boy. "...Oh. That works too, I guess," the boy said, sounding both embarrassed and awed. Vernita couldn't help but roll her eyes. Any pokemon with the thirst to fight is bound to know what they do in battle. At least she knew they did. Then the boy turned towards Vernita. "Uh... hey, so.. yeah!" The boy was obviously trying to recover some sense of power. "Your turtle can fight, yeah? Then lend me a damn hand here!" Turtwig growled even more at that remark, but Vernita dismissed this. She was starting to feel sorry for him, but they could settle this later. Just then, more Pikachu cries could be heard in the forest, and soon some more jumped off the trees above them. The boy then frantically ordered his Gabite to do Dig again, and Vernita focused on Turtwig. "Alright Turtwig! Ambush them with Seed Bomb!" Her Turtwig hurled huge seeds at some of the Pikachu flying down, and some where knocked out instantly. Pikachu from the bushes tried to get Turtwig, but a cry of a fox was heard as a flash of brown popped out from the ground. Eevee trotted proudly and didn't give a second thought to the strangers as she sank her teeth into a nearby Pikachu. As they kept attacking, Vernita noticed a new Pikachu in the pack, and this one had a red bandana on its left ear. It had a deep scar on it's cheek, and it was a black slash above the right pouch cheek. She was so busy observing it that she didn't notice that some of the Pikachu were trying to hide behind her. Before Vernita could do anything, her Turtwig rushed in to throw some Razor Leafs at the bunch, and they were sent flying to Eevee, one by one. Eevee's tail started to glow and the fox hit each Pikachu with one, and sending them flying to the trees. But then the odd Pikachu rushed in and slammed the Eevee. But then she bit it, but her fur began to cover in static and she was twitching. Turtwig came in to help Eevee as he began to glow, and used Superpower at the Pikachu, sending it flying to the other Pikachu lurking by. Vernita then realized her Eevee was paralyzed, and then she remembered the berries she picked up earlier, and then she drew out a Cheri Berry. She then left her position and ran to her pokemon, and sat down next to her. The Eevee moaned. "It's going to be okay," she said to her Eevee. "Here." She put the berry in Vee's mouth and she slowly chewed it, and the static around her slowly started to fade also. She was about to say something else, but a cry from Turtwig made her head snapped up and try to see what was wrong. Three Pikachu were surrounding her pokemon, and they all slammed on him. Vernita knew what she was about to do next was stupid, but she hurled herself and pushed Turtwig out of the way just as the Pikachu were charging their static. Then they shock Vernita as she gritted her teeth, trying to withstand the pain. |
Begin Again – Hugō Colthearts Act One - Chi 地 At some point in the vast region of Kanto, one can see the wide Viridan Forest, which was full of trees, small pokémon, and Beedrill. A whole lot of Beedrill. Speaking of Beedrill, one even made its new home near the start foot of the entire forest, probably to impress that nearby female light-green Beedrill that had her nest nearby his. Of course, to Beedrill, it's endless supply of stingers were not enough to impress a lady. No, it had to actually use their own stingers to catch prey for themselves, and for their nest. Unfortunately for the handsome young male Beedrill, it hadn't had his share of luck catch such food, especially in front of his crush yet. Soon though, it found a delectable young Caterpie squirming its way, probably home or to find leaves to eat. Of course, it's slow and small stature of the Beedrill's new prey made it all too easy for it to capture. "Dree!" (Come to papa!) it cried, preparing his poisonous stingers. Naturally he found that his luck changed when he used his powerful Twineedle attack to make quick work of the Caterpie. He then went to claim his prized meal, only for him to be blindsided by a quick Noctowl, who picked up the baby Caterpie, shouting 'LOSER!' before the baffled Beedrill had a chance to react. What made things worse, was that his crush was watching nearby by. She gave off a traditional female Beedrill 'hmph!' towards the male before buzzing off. Of course, the clumsy antics of the pokémon from the Viridian Forest wasn't all that was of interest to the young and upcoming trainers from Kanto, in fact, just beyond the forest was a city where it was claimed to be a trainer's true first test in becoming a pokemon master, or just the first step in their adventure in general. Pewter City. The city wasn't the largest city in Kanto, but, it does have its features, such as the moderately shaped buildings just made travelling through Pewter a breeze, alongside the the famous Pewter museum, where fossils or any other ancient artifacts where found. However, the building was in under investigation as of late, as multiple reports of kids wetting themselves as soon as they saw the awfully terrifying live Kabutops full bodied skeleton on display. That, and there was a man who kept on threatening kids to yank Pikachus from them to give to his daughter. *** Not too far from the forest, in Pewter, there's a red roofed building that always read: the Pokémon Center. Beat up your pokemon, and we'll heal them up here! Trainers of multiple age alike always came to, and from this building, since it was always seemed quite cozy for them and their pokémon, especially a young, teenaged young man who entered a short while ago to heal up his pokémon. At least, he's supposed to be male. Other had mistook him as a girl before, but, he never really mind it, as much as he would if a conversation became.. awkward. "Hugo?" a female voice, the nurse of the center, called. She had her traditional nurse's clothing, and that winning smile. Her Chansey was standing right by her side, as always. The young man, Hugo, went up to her to hear the news. "I'm pleased to let you know that your pokemon is indeed healthy and fighting fit!" "Oh wow.. thank you so much!" Hugo thanked with a bow. "I hope they've been good; I think Espeon gets a little irritable when she's hungry. And Growlithe? Well..." "Not to worry!" the nurse said with an even wider smile. "Your Espeon apparently loved being petted, and Growlithe was playing with Chansey for a while after the examinations were over. Ah! Here they are now!" Not too shortly after, another Chansey brought along a stretcher that had Hugo's Espeon and Growlithe sitting on top. The other Chansey waved 'hello'! to them as they were coming by. "Espi..." (What are YOU looking at...) Espeon silently hissed, as an indication that Espeon did not really enjoy the Chansey's company. Perhaps they were a little too friendly. Soon they've hopped off the stretcher and shelves, towards the floor near Hugo. They've then walked off, as the nurse gave them her signature 'please come again!' wave. "How about some lunch, Espeon and Growlithe?" asked Hugo, followed up with his stomach rumbling softly. "Esp!" (Now you're talking!) pointed out the small psychic pokémon. Espeon was Hugo's partnered and first pokemon for a while now, ever since leaving his hometwon upon the Johto region. She was firm, but slightly blunt. "Growww!" (Smoked beef for me!) howled the young puppy fire pokémon. Hugo found a wild Growlithe out on a chilly rainy night on his way through Kanto. Ever since he took care of him, Growlithe has been travelling alongside Hugo. He was a bit more spontaneous and ditzy than Espeon, and yet, while he didn't have any Psychic abilities, he knew how to burn stuff. And burn them good. Lunch was warm and steamy. After everyone had their fill, Hugo thought it was almost time to get going. That was until, he heard a faint voice, which became two, which became even louder. "...And that's why you've lost to him the last time!" argued the first voice, which belonged to a young teenaged woman. "All you've had coming in was a Nidoran without double kick, a Spoink, and gods help me – a Weedle." "Hey! I had the perfect plan!" said the second voice, a young equally-aged seeming boy. "It was just.. he beat me before I could use it!" "But this time, why didn't you catch a water pokémon?" "I have a Magikarp!" "Wow, a Magikarp. Yeah, you'll have the next battle in the bag," the adolescent girl said in blatant sarcasm, followed up with an eye roll. "But just for the hell of it, how about you catch a grass or water pokémon that can, you know, do something? Just because for the sheer thrill of being the Gym battle! How about you don't embarrass yourself this time!" The boy grumbled, as the two were interrupted. "Ummm..." said Hugo, as he approached the two. The two looked on towards him as Espeon and Growlithe followed behind. "I'm sorry, did you say, a 'Gym Battle'?" "Well, yeah," the young lass replied. "Don't you know about the Gym in this town, and the Pewter Gym Leader, Brock the Rock type specialist?" "Actually, it's my first time coming to Kanto..." Hugo explained as he scratched his cheek in embarrassment. "I was from Johto, and even so, I haven't really challenged a Gym before." "I see," the lass acknowledged. "Well, Brock's the rock type Gym Leader in this city. If you beat him, you can get the Pewter City's Gym Badge!" she then turned to her male companion. "Buuuut then there's this idiot, who got demolished by him." "Grow!" (I guess he sure... ROCKED him!) added Growlithe, only to have a silent, icy stare from Espeon as a reply. "I can just challenge him?" Hugo asked. "Yes, but only if the Gym is open," explained the lass, followed up with a sigh. "But.. the Gym is kinda closed right now." "How come?" "Well, you see..." *** An hour ago or so, the young male trainer was about to have his rematch with Brock, with his friend by his side. Of course, Brock the gym leader was right nearby, getting to go too, all they had to do was wait for his aide to get the doors open. His aide shouted, 'the doors are opening now!' but that was about 15 seconds ago. "Umm, Winston? Why aren't you opening the doors?" Brock asked after that lengthy pause. "I, um, actually seemed to have misplaced the Gym keys..." "WHAT!?!" *** Hugo quietly laughed to himself after hearing the tale. But, he supposed it couldn't be helped. The only question was, what now? Rock pokémon... If I remember right, they're weak against Water, Grass, Steel, or Fighting pokémon. But Growlithe and Espeon are neither of those types... he thought. Maybe its time for a quick look back at the Viridian Forest? |
http://i.imgbox.com/nnMT1qog.png Tricia Lee — (Not) Lost in a Forest Location: Viridian Forest http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/7/70/391MS.png http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/ab/029MS.png "Momo, use Flame Wheel!" A wheel of fire charged through a swarm of bee Pokemon with two large stingers on each hands; those are Beedrills. These Bug-type pokemon are obviously weak to Fire-type attack, much to their advantage. Her trusty partner, Momo, really knew how to do it. Being faced with a wheel of blazing fire, the Beedrills who tried to attack them earlier panicked, and immediately flew away from their direction—to another depths of Viridian Forest. Momo the Monferno, proudly puffed up his chest after he landed on the ground, successfully fended off those Beedrills. "That was amazing, Momo. Thank you... You can have this." The redheaded young girl patted the young monkey Pokemon's head, giving him his favorite Cheri Berry as a reward. Momo happily took it and immediately savored the sweetish spicy taste of the Cheri Berry that his trainer awarded. They were now standing in the middle of the forest, with Tricia trying to locate their current whereabouts. Viridian Forest was one huge place with its natural maze made of trees and bushes; not to mention the Pokemon that live here were often aggressive. Thankfully, the presence of Momo, a Fire-type Pokemon, was one big help since the majority of Pokemon they encountered earlier were mostly Bug-types. Well, they are on their way to Pewter City, as her objective for going through the forest was actually to beat the Pewter Gym. As they walked through the forest, the path was split into two. She could pick either going left or going right, but where would it take them? She didn't know for sure. "Hey, Momo... where do you think should we be going?" The monkey Pokemon was still busy with his berry, but he noticed his master was asking for his opinion, so he tilted his head left and right—seemingly thinking where to go next. "Kiii!" His finger pointed out to the right path. "Um, are you sure?" The redheaded girl asked. "It might takes us to somewhere we don't—" BZZT! BOOM! Loud noises can be heard from the left path of the crossroad. "W-what was—?" Tricia immediately took a notice and looked at the left path. Her feet were seemingly ready to dash to the noise's source. "Let's take a look." Nimbly, the young girl ran to the path where it would lead her to the noise. Momo quickly caught up with his trainer after finishing his berry. She dashed through the array of trees and bushes, until the path leads her to a scene where three Pikachus were seemingly attacking two trainers and their respective Pokemon partners. Though she didn't even know both of them, it's necessary to help—one of them was even shocked by a Pikachu! "Momo, use Mach Punch!" "Kiii!" Momo let out a loud battlecry before using one of his fists to threw a quick punch to one of the wild Pikachu which was attacking the trainers. It was quickly knocked out with a punch, leaving two Pikachu left to fight. "A-are you okay?" The redhead tried to check on the girl who was shocked by Pikachu's attack earlier. For her, it is necessary to help people in trouble—though it's not even someone she knows or even someone she had just met accidentally, like what she did right now. |
Pewter City: Delta's dreams
Delta grinned as he walked through the streets of Pewter city."Would you look at that mountain!" He muttered to Riley, who had lived with him in the shadow of Reversal mountain for what must have been close to four years. The emanation pokemon made no reply, being too busy chasing Delta's other pokemon, a baby yellow charmander, around as the lizard giggled happily. Delta picked up the two little pokemon and held them out to look sheepishly back at each other. "You guys are a riot." Delta laughed before sitting on a bench and having Char curl into a ball on his lap while Riley tucked his head under the boy's arm and began to snore quietly. Delta was from the Unova region, where he had journeyed four years prior to aide professor Juniper with her research on pokemon distribution. He had come to Kanto when he heard of rumors that mysterious stones were being discovered across the region. Delta had only seen Mega Evolution once, but he knew that it was a power he was destined to wield, and with it he would become pokemon league champion. Delta chuckled as he envisioned himself with a mighty Charizard and a noble Lucario sitting upon a throne of solid gold... Something caught Delta's attention and broke his concentration. A poster had blown off of a wall and smacked him in the face. "Pokemon league, Pewter city gymleader Brock... accepting challengers?" Delta read eying the boulderbadge on the poster. "Riley! Char! We've got a gym leader to beat!" |
http://i.imgur.com/8RsK8Hk.pngTasman Bailey http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/418.png http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/016.png Tasman sat surrounded by vividly coloured wild flowers, leaning against a small fence scribbling verses into a thick notebook. His buizel, Gati, and pidgey, Majesta, were in front of him where they chased each other through the mass of colourful flora. Tasman, had chosen the location because the flowers were a pleasant change from the static greys of most of Pewter City’s buildings. The warmth of the sun and his pokemon frolicking amongst the flowers swaying in the light breeze had inspired him to whip out his notebook and start scribbling poetry. The young trainer was there in the city for the sake of battling Brock for the Boulder Badge, but he was in no rush and intended to enjoy his journey to the best of his ability. Yawning, Tasman scribbled down a few more verses before closing the book and returning it to the dark brown back pack he was carrying. “It’d be easy to fall asleep here… it’s so nice.” “Bui!” Gati had sidled up next to his trainer, and had seemingly vocalised an agreement. Tasman patted his long-term friend on his head, before scanning the sky. Majesta was swirling about in the sky amongst a small flock of leydba that seemed to have originated from the nearby Viridian Forest. Majesta was surprisingly elegant in flight considering the rather stout frame of pidgey, and she was certainly a feisty one, but Tasman wondered how she’d fair against the rock-type pokemon of the Pewter Gym. Tasman grinned, he’d find out sooner or later but remembering his battle to capture the flying type he wasn’t too worried about her. She’d been with he and Gati for a little over a week now but that battle wasn’t leaving his mind any time soon. Nine Days Previously – Outskirts of Viridian City “Drop under it!” Tasman yelled as the small brown bird hurtled towards Gati at breakneck speed. The buizel barely managed to drop to the ground in time, narrowly avoiding the angry pidgey’s Quick Attack “Now, Aqua Jet!” Gati flew towards the back of the small flying-type, cloaked and propelled by shimmering, high-pressure water. The impact sent the pidgey careening towards a thick oak tree, however it somehow managed to right itself in mid-air and launch back towards Gati once more. The battle had begun due to a dispute arising between Gati and the pidgey over a berry both intended to eat and had now been going on for at least half an hour. Neither the wild pokemon nor Gati intended to stop until the other was defeated and Tasman was pretty confident that even if he decided to stop calling attacks they’d still be going at it. Both contenders were exhausted, each breathing heavily and each battered and bruised. There was no way they could continue for much longer, the wild pokemon seemed to agree – it was time to bring out the big guns. It flapped upwards, gaining altitude, before angling towards Gari and suddenly pressing its wings to its sides. The pidgey flew towards Tasman’s buizel, a burning red energy forming around it. As it got closer it opened its wings, the blazing red aura bursting outwards into a radiant blue shaped vaguely like an enormous bird. Brave Bird?!?! Tasman realised with a mix of surprise and awe, it was rare for a pidgey to possess the powerful flying move. As the wild pokemon careened towards his companion, Tasman saw his opportunity “Run towards me!” he yelled and thanks to their close bond Gati obeyed instantaneously, not bothering to work out why such a strange command would be given. The pidgey was closing in as Gati ran quickly, the bird gaining ground quickly. Until it crashed through a series of low-hanging branches getting stuck between the last two… the others now resembling woodchips. The bird struggled but it lacked power without momentum. “Very majestic” Tasman chuckled, impulsively reaching for an empty pokeball. Pewter City – Present Day Chuckling to himself over the memory, Tasman soon drifted into a sleep. Not long afterwards Gati curled up beside him and Majesta nested on his chest. He’d challenge the Pewter Gym soon enough, but Tasman wasn’t worried about either of his companions in the slightest after remembering their first encounter. |

Part 1: The Journey Begins. Lilliana http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/PikaBot/Icons/Fairy%20Tail/Batch%2005/wendy-02.png Spoiler:
Lilliana smiled happily brushing a strand of her dark blue hair out of her eyes so she could see. The young twelve year old looked around in awe at the buildings surrounding her. Wow this is so different than Lillycove she thought jumping up and down in place. "Mar, Marill" a small voice chirped in an annoyed tone. "Oops Sorry Aria, I forgot I was holding you" Lilliana giggled and placed the small Marill on the ground. "But isn't it exciting Aria we're really in the Kanto region!" Her voice rose in volume as she jumped around excitedly. "What should we do first should we go to the gym, or go shopping, or sleep, or..." "Marill! Mar" Aria's cries cut Lilliana's babble off and the girl rubbed the back of her head sheepishly looking at the scolding Pokemon. "I'm sorry Aria, you know how excited I get sometimes" she smiled softly at her Pokemon. "I know what we should do first. Let's find a Pokemon center so we can heal our new friend. He's a little weak still from the battle we had on the way here" Lilliana leaned down and picked Aria up gently. "Let's go and while we wait I can call Alex and tell him about the trip here" |
Mauve Banzett Spoiler:
The Rock Gym Before Mauve knew it, he spent so much time talking to Ruby, that he forgot he was at the Pewter Gym. Mauve was too caught up in chatting with the beauty that seemed to enjoy his company, not even realizing he was blushing while chatting with her. Looking over, he saw the eldery woman from before sitting at her desk, giving him a nod that Brock was ready. Jolting out of his seat, he quickly said, "U-Umm, well I have to go do that battle thing now! It was a lov- I mean a pleasure to meet you! We should chat again soon, bye!" Mauve and Raze raced off to the Gym, the doors closed loudly behind them. The old woman chuckled quite a bit, and went back to what she was doing. "So, you must be my next challenger. Today's a pretty busy day for me," Brock said with a chuckle, as he greeted Mauve to the rocky battlefield. "I'm Brock, I welcome you to the Pewter Gym. Oh, and... I saw you were having a chat with a lovely girl. I was gonna have my aide escort you in, but you seemed so occupied." He said this with a grin on his face. Before Mauve could hastily reply, Brock stopped him. "I know. Women are very important in a man's life. But, that's not why you're here," he slowly said, raising his face and making eye contact with Mauve. "Now, tell me. How many badges do you have, Mauve?" Mauve sighed, finally given a chance to talk. "I have no badges at this time. This will be my first bout for a badge." Brock nodded firmly, and said, "Then this will be a two-on-two match. When one of us has no Pokemon to continue, the match is over. Only you may make substitutions." Mauve steeled himself. He was actually in his first Gym battle, and in all honesty, he felt a bit of nervousness. "Now, Geodude, I choose you!" Brock chucked a Pokeball out to the field, releasing a pretty strong looking Geodude. It growled, looking ready for a fight. Mauve however, took in a deep breath. He was ready for this moment as well. Despite his slight anxiety, Mauve grew a grin that only a Gengar could love. Raze rattled with impatience, ready to fight as well. Quickly unclipping a Pokeball, he chucked it, calling out, "Huff 'n Puff! It's showtime!" A smog was released from the light, and out came a smiling Koffing. He gave out a very hearty, "Koffiiiiinnng!" Brock quirked an eyebrow. "I don't see many Koffing come into my gym. In fact, I was assuming that Weepinbell on your chest was your first choice. Very interesting... let's get started! Match begin!" "Huff 'n Puff, use Tackle!" "Geodude, use your Tackle attack too!" Both Koffing and Geodude collided into each other, making a resonating "thump," that the two trainers felt. "Geodude, use Rock Throw!" "Geo-Duuude!" A large rumble came, and as Geodude smacked the ground, rocks flew into the air, and began to fall towards Huff 'n Puff. "Huff 'n Puff, dodge it!" Mauve clenched his teeth, as Huff 'n Puff evaded some of the falling rocks. However, he was hit hard with the final set of rocks. The Koffing still got back up, and fumed with gas. "Alrighty then! Let's use Smog attack!" Huff 'n Puff exhumed his Smog, not only hurting Geodude but cloaking itself. "You'll have to do better than that! Use Rock Throw again!" Geodude once again flung a barrage of rocks down near the smog. Before the rocks made contact, Mauve called out, "Now, Huff 'n Puff, come on out and give us a Sludge attack!" With a puff, Koffing popped out of the Smog, and shot a stream of sludge at the Rock Pokemon. Brock shouted, "Cover your eyes!" Geodude was able to block its eyes from being hit with the sludge attack. It still did damage, but Mauve was hoping to blind it with Huff 'n Puffs Sludge. With a grin, Brock shouted, "I think it's time to end this! Geodude, use Smack Down!" Mauve gasped, as Geodude was able to smack the Koffing down with its hand. Huff 'n Puff hit the floor, and couldn't get up. "I see... Smack Down is the secret weapon to any Pokemon with Levitate. Clever, I must say..." Mauve muttered this to himself as he could sense the inevitable. Brock then commanded Geodude with, "Now, finish this with Magnitude!" Geodude gave a rough shout, as he slammed the ground with its fists, making the gym quake. Koffing was hit by rock and debris, fainting from the powerful and super-effective hit. "That's it. Koffing cannot continue. I gotta say, your Koffing is well trained," Brock said with an eager compliment. Mauve ran out and scooped up the Poison Gas Pokemon. He smiled, saying, "You did well for your first battle. Good job, Huff 'n Puff. Now, take a good rest." The Koffing nodded happily, as he was ported back to his Pokeball. He stepped back, and faced Brock and his Geodude. Raze was ready to go. He shook, and rattled fiercely. "Raze, go. Let's make this a show stopper!" Mauve quickly thrust his hand, as Raze flung himself onto the battle field. "Beellll! Weepin-Bell!" Brock gave a grin. "I see you and your Pokemon aim to be one of the best. Then, I'll have to test you. That's my job as a Gym Leader! Geodude, use Rock Throw!" "Geo-Duuuude!" Yet another barrage of rocks was flung in Raze's direction. However, Mauve simply commanded, "Raze, sweep this away with a Vine Whip!" Raze's vine shot out and lashed out at the falling rocks. Some of them were flung back at Geodude with a great force, as they were hit with more force. Before Brock could make another move, Mauve called out, "It's ours now... Cut them down to size with Razor Leaf!" Raze flapped his leaves, sending a flurry of Razor Leaf attacks at the Rock Pokemon. After Raze was done, Geodude fell to the floor. "Well, Geodude can't continue. Good job, buddy. You deserve a nice rest." Brock returned his Geodude, and looked up at Mauve. "You're certainly a capable trainer. But, this is the first gym, and the first step. To take my badge you must defeat my Onix!" He chucked a Pokeball into the air, and out came a large, roaring Onix. Mauve shuttered a bit, but Raze was unflinching. Brock shouted, "Onix, use Tackle attack!" Onix bellowed, and lunged head first into the Weepinbell. "Raze, use your Vine Whip and hold onto Onix!" With a slam, Onix knocked Raze into the air, but the Flycatcher Pokemon clung to the horn on the Onix, flailing about, not letting go. "Onix, shake it off!" The Rock Snake wriggled and shook violently, but Raze still held on. "Now, shower them with a Razor Leaf attack!" Another flurry of Razor Leaf attacks went flying, right at Onix. It bellowed and roared in pain. Brock commanded Onix again, with, "Onix, slam Weepinbell with your tail!" Onix's tail crashed into Raze, knocking him into a boulder in the battlefield. Both of them were tired, but they both could still fight. However... "Onix! Bind attack, now!" Raze was caught in Onix's bind, crushing it ever so slowly. Raze was hurting, but Mauve had another trick up his sleeve. "Alrighty then! Raze, give them a sample of your Poison Powder!" With a large huff from Raze, a cloud of poisonous powder had hit Onix in the face, making him drop Raze as it tried to shake off the Poison Powder. However, Onix was poisoned. Brock could only yell in surprise, "What?!" Onix was now the one hurting, but nothing could stop the poison at this point. Raze slowly lifted itself up, and Mauve was ready. With a thrust of his arm, he gave the final command, "Raze, time to whip them with a Vine Whip!" A relentless lashing of Vine Whip attacks sent Onix into defeat. The Rock Snake fell to the battlefield floor, and fainted. The room fell silent, only heavy breathing coming from Raze. |
Gelius Emerald - Pewter Gym - Vs. Onix As i was getting ore impatient, a voice talked. "You are the next challenger. Brock is waiting you." I could not believe. I was about to get my gym match. I enter in the battle field. I faced Brock. Nothing so special. But he is a gym leader, so i can't let y guard down. He speaks: "It's okay to you to use 2 Pokemon?" He asked. "Perfectly fine!" I was confident. "I like your style, confident and firm. But here what it counts is showing your best!" He said. "Go Geodude!" He threw a pokeball and Geodude came out. I grab a pokeball containing Leaf, my newly caught Nuzleaf. "Leaf let's finish this match!" The Nuzleaf came out. Brock was waiting for my attack. "Leaf use Razor Leaf!" The Nuzleaf shoot his attack. The move missed Geodude, making the Razor Leaf Attack hit a wall. "Just that? I will show you a real attack. Geodude use Rock Throw!" Geodude threw the rocks to Leaf and hit him. Leaf was still up, so i was not screwed. But Brock's Geodude is faster than any Geodude. 'What will i do? I need to catch that thing by surprise...' I thought. This was harder than beating my younger brother but easier than Gary Clark. "Leaf, lets switch our strategy! Run around Geodude!" "Only that? Show me your best! Geodude go for a Tackle!" Geodude charges onto Leaf and hits him. "Give up kid! You should train more." I heard him. "Check Mate." I said. "Huh? What are you talking about?" Brock was with a puzzled face. "About this! Leaf use Faint Attack!" Nuzleaf started to glow black and then charged onto Geodude, knocking him out. "Good Job Leaf!" "But how did you defeated Geodude only at the first hit?" Brock wanted an explanation. "Faint Attack is a move that is more powerful when the user is already at the fainting point. I had this planned, i knew that hardly Nuzleaf defeats Geodude, so i took a shot in the dark." I said. "Well done but let the real battle start! Onix come to fight!" The pokeball was thrown and a giant rock snake was on the battle field. It was an Onix. "Onix use Rock Tomb!" Onix threw rocks at Nuzleaf, knocking this Pokemon out, leaving this battle to the second Pokemon. I grabbed a pokeball and my ace came out. "Bubbles, it's all or nothing!" Poliwhirl came out. "That little Pokemon will not save you!" He said. "That's what you think! Bubbles lets go for an Hypnosis!" Poliwhirl started to hypnotize Onix, making the snake asleep. "Now use Bubblebeam!" Poliwhirl started to shoot bubbles, making hit on Onix. Onix woke up and was really mad. "You are strong kid but i will show you my strength! Onix Tackle!" Onix tried to charge onto Poliwhirl, but Poliwhirl evaded. "Bubbles, we are almost there! Now use Hypnosis again!" But this time Onix is unaffected. "Oh no..." We both had the Pokemon very tired. "Bubbles Bubblebeam!" "Onix go for Rock Throw!" When both Pokemon used the moves, an explosion happened (I don't know why it happened.). When my visibility came back, Bubbles was still up, while Onix was down. "Did i won?" |
JARA http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/221.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/pokedex-xy/icon/004.png Pewter City "There, should be alright now!" Jara said with a content smile, giving the motorbike's machinery a gentle swat as she stood up and sighed. The elderly man beside her took the bike nervously and examined it. When he found that everything was indeed in order at last, his face cracked up in a wide smile. "Thank you so much! Now I will be able to take the long route around the forest and still reach home in Viridian City by dinner!" "Glad I could help," Jara said smugly, spinning her mini monkeywrench skillfully between her fingers before puttin it back into the toolkit. "Now, how much would you say this small favor was worth?" The man had made a movement to sit up on his bike, but halted now with raised eyebrows. "Worth?" "You know, payment?" "But I thought..." Jara crossed her arms and looked down at her partner who stood beside her. The loyal Piloswine scoffed in agreement. "You thought what, old man? I'm a traveling trainer! I need food, equipment... I can't just go around help everyone without getting something in return." The man looked devastated. "You can't help an elder without reservations? In my time, we were kind towards one another!" "And I did fix your bike, didn't I?" He started mumbling, still looking utterly sad at the development, and fiddled around in his pockets to grab his wallet. The scene was so pitiful that even Jara couldn't stand for it. She sighed even louder. "Alright, alright, alright," she said. "This one was a freebie. Enjoy your dinner." The man immediately shone up brightly again, making Jara wonder if the other state had been a facade after all. He thanked her several times again before he puffed off on the rusty motorbike, which at least ran three times more smoothly than before Jara had stuck her gloves into its workings. "Some people just can't appreciate honest work." A wet snout poked her arm, and Piloswine's happiness quickly got her out of her bitter mood. She ruffled the incredibly thick hair on his head and behind his ears until her fingers started to lose their sense of feel. "So what's next, then?" she asked him. "We spent a night at the pokémon center and the first gym is near. We could go there right now and see if the leader is available for a match. What do you say?" She tried to sound cheerful, but this facade Piloswine easily saw through. He scoffed, at her this time. "Yeah," she admitted in resignation. "I don't feel ready either. Let's just... Go and check out the town a bit more first. That's a fair excuse! We came here when it was dark yesterday, after all." Piloswine agreed, and they packed up the last of Jara's stuff from the sidewalk where she had made a temporary workshop while fixing the man's bike. Walking down the street, Jara quickly found some nice signs suggesting directions for her. Gym, PokéMart, Space Museum... "Hey, museum sounds pretty cool! Maybe they have meteorites there?" Jara mumbled and thought hard. There were two more signs, saying Pokémon Center and Park. Fearing that the museum would lie too close to the gym and tempt her to feel obligated to do something she wasn't really ready for, she chose to spend some time in the park instead. It was a very beautiful and calm place, but what grabbed Jara's attention as she reached the center of the park was a person. A guy was sleeping on a bench, two pokémon cuddled up beside him, making it obvious that he was a trainer of some kind. Jara had only seen homeless people sleep on benches in parks before, but this dude looked too well off to be a bum of that kind. She was about to walk past them, but her second pokémon had other plans. Just when they were at the closest distance from the bench, the second pokéball at the belt Jara kept around her hips, over her tunic, popped open without warning. Out came the most intensive lizard on this side of the sea, materializing in mid-air... And dove straight for the Buizel on the bench, a playful grin on his Charmander face. |
Keia MacBeth Viridian Forest "Finish Him!" http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/077.gif Harley One more shake and the ball shattered as the Pokemon broke out. Keia groaned but she wasn't ready to give up. She was more determined than before to catch it. The mushroom shook its fat little body, scattering yellow spores over a radius of several feet. This time Harley hadn't been ready for it; they settled delicately on her creamy fur and filled her nostrils. Immediately her muscles seized up and she stood stiffly in place, looking back to Keia with wide eyes. Harley had never been paralyzed before and she was understandably shocked. Unable to defend herself, she could only stand still as the mushroom drained her energy little by little. Keia gritted her teeth and shrugged her bag off to tear through the pockets in search of a Paralyze Heal. Now especially she was grateful that her dad had drilled her on taking plenty of medicines with her. She found it and dashed into the fray to spray Harley with the bitter-smelling antidote. It worked in a matter of seconds. Keia ran back to her bag and Harley shook the last of the spores off her body with a snort. Her ears were pinned back and she stomped her hooves against the earth as she waited for orders. Keia intended to finish this now. She abandoned precaution and plucked another ball from her belt. "Harley, use Flame Wheel!" The mare engulfed her body in fire and charged the creature. At the last second she stopped and cast the inferno at it. With nowhere for it to run, it was engulfed by the wheel of fire. It let out an ear splitting screech and when the smoke cleared it waddled toward her, disoriented and afraid. Embers clung to its body and it looked as though it had sustained an ugly burn. Again Keia threw a Pokeball. This time when it hit the grass it twitched more than shook. |

Veridian Forrest:How not to train your Pokémon
Having discovered that Pewter city had its own gyn, Delta headed into Veeidian forrest in order to train his pokemon and ensure an easy win... Delta stood in the center of a small clearing somewhere in rhe middle of Viridian forrest. Riley and Char both stood at the ready, waitinng to show their trainer just how strong they were. "Riley! Force palm on that boulder!"Delta commanded pointing towards the large boulder in the middle if the clearing he had taped the poster of Brock too. The emanation pokemon ran forward and leaped atop the rock bringing his palm to rest on the surface of the stone. Moments later the boulder exploded into dust and Riley glanced at its trainer with a smirk. "Char! Scratch attack on... THAT tree!"Delta roared feeling his pokemons energy. Char ran past the tree with her claw stetched out. Wood chips flew as Char's claws cut through the wood, leaving a gash in the side. "Alright!"Delta exclaimed doing a victory dance. Suddenly a Noctowl flew by and pecked at Delta with its beak. "H-hey! Cut it out!"Delta groaned as the bird drew blood after pecking his ear. "Riley!" Teach this buzzard a lesson! Delta cried as the bird flies toward Riley. "Riiio?!!!" Riley exclaimed in shock when he realized his trainer was having him fight a flying type. The wild Noctowl swiped at Riley with a wing attack, throwing the pokemon into a tree. "Rio!" Riolu screamed using its dragon pulse attack, creating a shockwave of energy that smashes into the bird causing it to fall to the ground mid-flight. Riley looks at the bird then spits in its direction before returning to Delta's side. "Go ahead Charmander! Finish it wirh flamethrower!" Delta exclaimed forgetting that his pokemon hadn't perfected its flamethrower attack yet. However the lizard pokemon walked up to the twitching Noctowl and used a stop and go, thin flamethrower, lighting the Noctowls feathers ablaze. The owl leaped into the air and flaped its wings wildly in hopes of putting the flames out. "Noctowl stop!" Delta cried desperatly as embers began flting into trees lighting then on fire as well.. . Soon the entire clearing was nothing but a ring of flames. Delta and his two pokemon stood in the center of the flames, watching as tendrils of the red hot fire reached hungrily towards them. "HELP! ANYBODY!"Delta screamed praying that another trainer would hear his voice and save them from the flames... |
The Pewter City Gym Arc: Parts 1 and 2 It had been a pretty long journey from his home region but he had recently made it to the region of Kanto. “Wooh, this is going to be fun, right Lucario?” Matthew was really excited to catch some new Pokémon and he and Lucario were currently in the Viridian Forest training and heading towards Pewter City. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- His Lucario gave a firm nod as he kept himself alert to make sure no wild Pokémon would sneak up on them. Matthew understood why Lucario was so protective of him, but sometimes it was kind of overbearing he thought to himself. “Pika!” Looking over to his shoulder the Pikachu he had recently caught was lounging on his shoulder, but had suddenly pointed its paw forwards. “Huh, what’s over that way?” Matthew turned his gaze to face what he supposed his Pikachu was pointing to and saw some light creeping out between the trees. “Oh sweet, there’s the exit. Okay you guys ready to go then?” Another firm nod from his Lucario and high pitched mouse-like noise from his Pikachu was confirmation enough for him to start running to the exit. Coming straight through the tree opening he continued his dash as he saw the city only a short distance away. “Come on Lucario, we’re almost there!” The air whooshed past his shirtless body as he ran his fastest towards the city. It took him just over 10 minutes to get there and he was only breathing just a tiny bit heavy, running was something he was pretty good at due to the fact he had provoked many swarms of Zubat by mistake before while he was younger, those were fun times. Looking behind him he grinned at his Lucario that had easily managed to keep pace with him running at full speed, his partner was pretty damn reliable if he had to say so himself. He had been with him since he was just a small kid that was exploring the limited areas around his city. Shaking his head he smiled gently as he decided to take things slowly and check around the city before he decided what he was going to end up doing. Of course the end goal was for him to go and get the badge from whoever was the Gym Leader for the city, if he remembered correctly it was some guy named Brock, but he had some time before that. “I wonder what there is to do in this city anyways.” Matthew said aloud to himself as he walked around just taking in the sights and committing them to memory. While he didn’t have a photographic memory or anything of the sorts he liked to say he was pretty good at remembering things when he put his mind to it. He stopped for a moment as he remembered that he had brought a guide book with him that described most things about the cities of Kanto and Johto, he had received as a gift from his big sister awhile before he left Kalos. Flipping through the book he saw a small bookmark at one section and flipping to it revealed that it was the page about Pewter City. Looking at the bookmark more closely revealed that there was a bit of writing on it. “Thought I could help you speed things up a bit little brother of mine, knowing you, you would flip past this page approximately 15 times before actually stopping and being careful. So, you’re welcome.” At the end of the note was a little chibi drawing of his sister in a sundress and straw hat blowing a kiss towards him, it was really well drawn for it being so small. While he wanted to shout that he wouldn’t have done such a thing he knew he probably would’ve and decided to just sigh and put the bookmark in his duffel bag for safe keeping. Before he could some info about the city a small tugging on his shirt made him look over and towards his shoulder specifically where his Pikachu was currently located. “Huh, what’s up little buddy?” Matthew asked and then noticed that his Pikachu was pointing a paw towards something in the distance, squinting his eyes just a bit he saw that it was the town’s PokeCenter, at least if the red roof was any indication. “Oh, you must be kind of tired huh? We were training for quite some time before we exited the forest and then there was that large herd of Pikachu we had to escape, it’s a good thing we got my good ol’ buddy Lucario to help, but enough of that. Let’s get going to the PokeCenter then.” He walked a bit slower than what his normal pace was so he could look around the city a bit, and from first appearances he had to say it was pretty peaceful if a bit small, though this was just based off of a few minutes of looking around. Maybe he would find something interesting in the city later he thought to himself as his team and himself entered the PokeCenter. “Howdy Nurse Joy!” He said in a nice enthusiastic manner, he liked meeting all of the Nurse Joys in Kalos when his father would take him with him on trips around Kalos and on his way here to Kanto he had decided that he would see if he could find some way to tell the Nurse Joys there apart. He looked over to the Nurse Joy and noticed she wasn’t in the normal outfit that he was used to and actually looked quite different. She had the usual pinkish-red hair but it was worn long instead of the usual style and she seemed to be wearing a pink dress along with a pair of jeans and her eyes were currently focused on a book. “Oh…” There was a brief pause by the Nurse Joy for a moment as her eyes landed on Matthew and a minor blush came to her face for a moment. “Uh…are you okay? You look kind of sick Nurse Joy.” She was snapped out of her stupor however as Matthew spoke once again and laid a hand against her forehead. She eeped and moved away quickly before taking a deep breath to calm herself and focusing her eyes upwards, her sister didn’t tell her anything like this would happen on the job, she was just 17 and was only taking over for an hour while her sister fixed up the stock in the back. Calming herself just a bit more she managed to get out some words. “Um…hello trainer, uh what do you need today?” Matthew wasn’t very sure if this Nurse Joy was fine or not but, it looked like she recovered a bit so he decided to get to the chase. Returning his Pikachu and Lucario to their respective Pokeballs quickly he turned to her and spoke. “Could you please heal my team up, I kind of want to challenge the gym soon and so my team needs to be at maximum strength!” Matthew asked nicely with a polite smile yet in his same enthusiastic voice that he used for nearly everything. The Nurse Joy, or at least Joy-in-training, paused for a moment as she stared at Matthew for a few moments captivated by his smile but snapped herself out of it through will power. “Um, okay I-I’ll take them for you and h-heal them up good as new.” She muttered out quietly, cursing inwardly as she stuttered slightly, as her hands tentatively but quickly reached out and grabbed them before putting them in the healing machine behind her. There was an awkward silence with Matthew not really having anything to say and the Joy not really sure of her own voice, so it was a few minutes before a ding noise sounded, signaling that his Pokemon were healed. The Joy moved quickly taking the tray out and letting Matthew grab his two Pokeballs before deciding to try speaking once more. “H-here you go, they’re now both back to full health.” There was a bit more pep in her voice now as she tried to remember the tips he sis told her for talking to people. Flashing another winning smile towards the girl that made her heart flutter briefly once more he attached the two Pokeballs to his belt before saying his goodbye. As the girl watched him leave she managed to work up enough confidence to say some words of encouragement. “U-um good luck in your battle!” She quickly covered her mouth but Matthew had already turned back and looked at her. “Thanks a lot I appreciate the vote of confidence, and I have to say you look really pretty today.” Matthew said flashing another winning smile before walking out not noticing that the Joy stood there in a stupor with a massive blush on her face, he really didn’t know the effect he had on people sometimes, especially the young maidens who weren’t used to seeing a rather decent looking guy without his shirt on just walking around. “Okay now that my team is healed I have a few choices, one I could go to the gym and try to beat the Gym Leader or two I could explore the city and see what else it has to offer.” Matthew murmured to himself as he walked away from the PokeCenter with no general place in mind to stop, but instead just kind of aimlessly traveling. His decision was soon made for him as he realized that he was in front of a rather large building with a sign next to it that clearly read “Pewter City Gym”, after briefly reading the sign Matthew let out a little bit of a chuckle. “So my own body knows what I should do now, heh Mom did always say to listen to your gut.” It was pretty early in the morning as he had arrived really early before the sun was even out so he could get a head start on his journey, to most others they would’ve dropped dead asleep at this point, but Matthew was one of those people who was aptly called a stamina freak by most others. Walking in through the doors of the place he kind of just stopped and looked around the place just taking it all in. “Wow…so this is a gym.” He murmured to himself as he just let the atmosphere get to him, sure he had seen a gym before but he had never gotten a chance to go inside one despite his pleading when he was younger so he could train his Lucario, which was a Riolu at the time, so he could get stronger. It was only through all the experiences they shared and repeated vigorous training in the caves and actual physical work-outs that they had did for he and Riolu to bond enough for him to evolve into Lucario. “Hmm, so are you just standing there or did you come here for something?” A mature voice startled him out of his state and he looked over to see Brock, who he recognized from the brief glance he managed to get in the book earlier, the guy that was supposed to be the Pewter City Gym Leader. With a natural confidence in himself he spoke. “Yeah! I’m here to challenge you to a battle!” Matthew spoke excitedly as Brock looked at him and chuckled a bit before speaking. “Normally, I would tell you to wait just a longer since it’s so early in the morning, but seeing your excited expression makes me want to give you the benefit of the doubt.” Brock spoke easily as Matthew gave a little excited shout of “Yes!” before Brock resumed. “Alright before we can get this battle started follow me to the back.” Brock said with a simple smile on his face as he saw the potential that the kid that was now following behind him possessed. “Hmm, so do you have any badges?” Brock said as they arrived to the little battle area at the back of his gym, Matthew noted that besides the nice stone path that was shaped sort of like a snake the rest of the area was just rugged ground with some rocks and boulders here and there. “Uh no, was I supposed to?” Matthew answered kind of nervously as he didn’t recall needing a badge for what was usually the first gym of the Kanto region at least that was what his sister taught him, but that had been a few years ago for all he knew it could’ve changed and now this was the last gym you had to face. Brock must’ve sensed his turmoil as he let out a relaxed chuckle before speaking. “Don’t worry about it, since this is your first official Gym Battle I’ll only use two Pokémon, the same amount you have from the looks of your Pokeballs.” Matthew was visibly relieved and slightly put off, while he was happy that he wasn’t going to have to go on some grand journey just to wind up coming back here he kind of felt like Brock wasn’t acknowledging his strength, but he thought about it for a moment and thought that maybe it was just some sort of League rule or that Brock was just really strong and just a generally fair guy. Brock walked calmly over to the other side of the soon to be battle field before speaking. “So are you ready?” Matthew grinned wildly and pulled his hat off using the string to let it just hang on his back revealing his messily spiky hair. “I’ve been born ready for the moments like this so let’s go!” Brock smiled as out of the wall popped out a mechanical portion that held his Pokeballs, grabbing two he threw the first one while speaking. “My specialty is Rock type Pokémon and here is one of them, come on out Geodude!” Out of the Pokeball came a small boulder-looking Pokémon with arms. “Normally I would explain the rules before battle, but for some reason I get the feeling you have some experience.” Brock spoke loudly across the field and Matthew ran a hand through his hair sheepishly in turn and shouted back across the field. “Well not a lot but I have a bit, so here we go, come on out Pikachu!” Brock was accurate with his assumption that Matthew had some experience with Pokémon along with a sister that explained battles to him he also had a few mock battles with some Zubat that he had befriended and the ones that would try and get him out of their cave. Throwing his Pokeball into the air his Pikachu popped out in a shower of crackling electricity before landing. “Pika!” His Pikachu’s cheeks sparked with electricity showing that it was ready for battle. There was a sort of tension in the air that sent shivers down Matthew’s spine, it was extremely exciting. “Okay we’ll start things off Pikachu, use Thunder Shock!” Pikachu let a few sparks from its cheek in acknowledgement before sending a small bolt of lightning towards Brock’s Geodude however Brock was very quick to respond. “Geodude use Rollout to evade!” Brock commanded, as Geodude tucked itself inward before rolling rapidly away from the bolt of lightning. “Now, Geodude, use Rock Throw!” The command from Brock was followed with a not so small amount of rocks flying towards Pikachu hitting it and knocking it down briefly. ‘Man that was a real ingenious move by Brock, looks like me and Pikachu have to kick things up by a notch!’ “If this is all you have you’re going to let me down!” Brock stated simply, not trying to be mean or anything, but simply stating a fact. Matthew grinned wildly at the challenge as he clenched his hands tight in excitement before speaking. “You haven’t seen anything yet, come on Pikachu get up and show this guy our fighting spirit!” Pikachu, responding to the words, got back up to its feet and in its eyes showed a determination that burned like the sun. “Alright use Quick Attack to dash towards Geodude then hit it with a Disarming Voice!” Following Matthew’s command Pikachu dashed forward extremely fast then let out a rather cute sound which sent a pink wave of sound startling Geodude. “Now hit it quickly with a Thunder Shock!” Letting its cheeks spark momentarily, Pikachu let out another bolt of lightning that launched Geodude backwards which was almost enough to make it faint, the key word being almost. “That was a good move, I have to admit you have some good instincts but this won’t be enough to finish off Geodude. Now, Geodude use Rock Throw!” Taking Matthew’s Pikachu by surprise another small hail of rocks hit Pikachu directly sending it tumbling backwards stopping in front of Matthew knocked out. Matthew stood there shocked for a moment just staring down at Pikachu before bending down and patting its head. “You did well for your first gym battle; I guess training in the wild wasn’t enough. Here have a good long rest you deserve it.” Matthew returned Pikachu to its Pokeball before looking up with a grin. “It looks like you’re up buddy, so come on out Lucario!” Throwing up the Pokeball into the air Lucario popped out in a spin before landing on its two feet. “This is where I turn the heat up, so let’s go! Lucario use Bone Rush!” Putting its hands together a light green bone made of energy was quickly formed and zoomed forward incredibly fast and before Geodude could try to react Lucario had struck it repeatedly with the bone finishing it by swinging the bone like a bat sending the Geodude backwards to Brock, unconscious. “Hmm, Geodude return.” Brock took out a Pokeball allowing Geodude to retreat as a stream of neon red light hit it. “You’re doing really well for someone who’s never faced a Gym Leader, the tactics you used with Pikachu were quite good and even though Geodude managed to knock it out it was quite close.” Matthew blushed slightly under the praise as he scratched his cheek as Brock began to speak once more. “Now that we’re both down to two Pokemon this is where the real battle begins, go Onix!” Throwing the Pokeball towards the field, what came out of it was the hulking rock snake Onix. It let out a roar that sent a brief tremor through the ground, but Lucario and Matthew were unfazed. Grinning wildly Matthew spoke. “Alright Lucario, use Power-Up Punch!” Lucario dashed forward intent on landing a solid blow on Onix, but was stopped as Brock gave his command. “Onix, use Slam then follow it up with Sandstorm.” Onix slammed its tail hard on the ground briefly making Lucario stumble which gave it just enough time to allow it to whip up a large amount of sand that swiftly obscured Matthew and Lucario’s vision. Over the raging storm Brocks voice resounded. “So, how are you going to get around this? You’re Lucario has to be able to make physical contact if it wishes to hit Onix and right now neither you nor it can see.” As much as Matthew wanted to deny that it was the truth the Sandstorm currently going on was making it extremely hard to see. “Lucario, if you can hear me close your eyes and listen to Onix’s movements to find it.” Matthew shouted and for a moment he thought he could briefly see Lucario nodding through the sand, but his vision was obscured once more. This was kind of a gamble as Lucario had amazing senses this Sandstorm would make it much harder for Lucario to hear the approach. “Onix, use Constrict!” Lucario turned fast and while he did manage to hit with a Power-Up Punch it wasn’t enough to make Onix not be able to follow through. The Sandstorm subsided which revealed that while Onix was wincing in pain it was gripping Lucario tightly making it unable to move. Lucario was currently gritting its teeth in pain trying to not let out any sounds as Matthew stood there wondering what to do. “If you don’t do something soon you’re Lucario will be knocked out and you will lose.” Brock’s voice broke Matthew out of his stupor and he was soon racing through ideas that he could use so that he could get Lucario out of this situation. ‘Don’t think too hard about things little brother, sometimes the best choice is the one that your gut picks for you.’ His sister’s voice rang through his head and allowed him to decide what he was going to do. “Lucario wiggle your palms so that they face the rocks of Onix’s tail and then use Force Palm through both hands!” Lucario nodded through the pain it was in and after a few moments two light green shockwaves went through Onix’s tail successfully allowing Lucario to get out and weakening Onix significantly. “Heh, it looks like we’re both down to our last legs. It all comes down to this, Lucario dash forward and finish it off with another Force Palm!” Going forward with all that it had a light blue-green charge was on Lucario’s palm as it ran forward intent on ending this. “Onix, get up and use Slam!” Brock’s commands made the giant rock snake use the remainder of its energy to raise its tail to try and slam down on Lucario to end the match. “Lucario use Detect to dodge and then end this with Force Palm.” Lucario’s keen senses were enough, even in its weakened state to dodge the Slam which sent up a large amount of dust which covered the battlefield. It was all up to Lucario managing to hit that last Force Palm, Matthew believed in Lucario and just knew that he could do this. Slowly the dust began to part to reveal who the winner of the match was. |
Part 2: To the rescue. Lilliana http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/PikaBot/Icons/Fairy%20Tail/Batch%2005/wendy-02.png Spoiler:
As Lilliana walked away from the entrance to Pewter City she stopped suddenly sniffing the air. "Aria do you smell that?" she glanced down at her Pokemon. "Mar! Marill!" Aria nodded looking from her trainer to the forest behind them the action making Lilliana turn her head to look. "Look at that smoke it's a fire" she gasped in surprise holding Aria tighter before she took of running towards the smoke rising from the woods "We have to help that's what Mother and Father taught me" Her feet picking up speed as she drew closer to the smoke. "HELP! ANYBODY!" A voice called out and Lilliana stopped in her tracks staring at the ring of fire in the clearing. "Aria use Rain Dance" Lilliana set Aria down and called out before adding "Don't worry helps here" she watched as Aria looked at the fire before staring the graceful steps she had been taught for Rain Dance. As the Pokemon moved small clouds formed above them and rain started to fall. After a few minutes Aria stopped moving the fire now out letting Lilliana see a boy who looked to be about four years older than her standing with a Riolu and a strange colored Charmander. "Are you okay?" |
Viridian forrest: First contact!
"Don't worry helps here!" A young girl cried out. Delta, Char, and Riolu were all bunched together with only 2 or 3 feet between them and the hungry flames. Seconds later fat raindrops began to beat the flames back, slowly freeing Delta and his pokémon. "Are you okay?" The girl asked. "T-thank you... so much..." Delta coughed wiping the soot from his face. "Char..." Charmander hung her head in shame, knowing that she had almost got them killed. Delta put his hand on the little yellow lizards shoulder. "Hey its not your fault, you were just following orders. Delta replied quietly before turning his attention to his blue haired savior. "Your Marill really saved the day with that rain dance." Delta laughed, half soot covered and slightly embarresed that he had been saved by a little girl. |
Part 3: A new Friend?? Lilliana http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/PikaBot/Icons/Fairy%20Tail/Batch%2005/wendy-02.png Spoiler:
"T-thank you... so much..." The boy coughed out wiping soot from his face as he patted his Charmander saying something Lilliana didn't hear. "Your Marill really saved the day with that rain dance." He laughed and Lilliana giggled. "Your welcome my parents taught my to always help people" She smiled happily scooping Aria up into her arms again. "I spent ages with Aria perfecting rain dance I'm glad it was able to help you" She giggled more excited at meeting a new person the first she's met on her journey. "Mar! Marill Mar!" Aria chirped happily as Lilliana hugged her in her arms. "Yes Aria you did a very good job" the young child giggled before looking at the boy in front of her "My names Lilliana. Do you want to play with me?" She jumped up and down in place giggling. |
Veridian forrest: Repaying debts
"Do you want to play with me?" Lilliana giggled whilst bouncing with youthful energy. Delta sighed and grinned as Charmander began to look at him with innocent eyes. "Well my name is Delta, and it looks like I don't have a choice." Delta chuckled as he turned back to Lillian. "What is it you want to play miss." Delta replied smoothly hiding his embarrassment as well as he could. Delta glanced over at Riley who looked exhausted from their short lived training session. We could all use a bit of relaxation. Delta thought to himself as he watched Lilliana bounce with joy. |
Danica Chandler Pewter Museum Science! Pewter City, Kanto. A stone gray city. It was a busy day there. Some Bug Catchers were stocking up on supplies at the PokéMart, while others were already making their way south to Viridian Forest. Some Trainers were getting in line to challenge the local Gym Leader, Brock, and some others were coming in and out of the Pokémon Center. Few other people were heading for another of the city's attraction, the Museum of Science. Among these few people was a blue-haired girl with a purple hoodie. Danica wasted no time in entering and paying the small $50 fee. With a cold look on her face, she grabbed the ticket from the receptionists and casually walked inside. She was eager to challenge the Gym, but with only one Pokémon at her disposal and so many other trainers waiting for the challenge... She thought it would be a wiser thing toi drop by the museum. Perhaps she could learn a thing or two there, which couldn't kill anybody, right? The girl made her way to the fossil collection. Hmmm... Interesting... she thought. Aerodactyl and Kabutops... They sure look like they were very powerful in their time. If only there was a way to bring them back to life and add them to my team... Fufufu... She smirked and accidentally let out a giggle, and clared her throat to snap back to her usual serious self. Careful. You don't want anyone to think you're some kind of Fossil thief, would you? she said to herself and walked away from the Fossil display. It was time to keep moving, and she made her way upstairs, where there was an exhibition about space. The space display was less amusing to Danica, but it was still worth checking out. Plus, it wasn't as if she was in a rush or anything. She had plenty of time to kill, so she examined every item thoroughly. There was a huge chunk of meteorite, with a sign saying that it was a Moon Stone, found on Mt. Moon. Mt Moon... I heard these stones make some Pokémon evolve... I'll have to look for them when I get there. she thought, and moved on. The next item on display was a space shuttle. Many of the people there looked at it in awe, but to Danica it was just 'meh'. She looked at it for a couple seconds then made her way downstairs. She walked over to a vending machine nearby and purchased some Soda Pop, which she proceeded to consume. She checked her watch. Not much time had passed, and she doubted that the Gym Leader would be free at that moment, so she casually took another sip and sighed. |
Gelius Emerald - Pewter City - On the road to home I could not believe. I had won! Brock extended his hand with the Boulder Badge. He handed it to me. "You deserved kid, but beware. Your simple tricks might not be enough when you fight the next gym." Oh i almost forgot! The next gym is on Cerulean, so that means... I was about to see again my family. "Thanks Brock." I said as i gave him an handshake. I tried to figure out where to put my badge. On the badge case was overused. On scarf... For girls of course. On the Hat... i don't wanna ruin my style! I placed it inside of my jacket. It was cool enough. As i left the Pokemon Gym, i heard a familiar voice. "Hello loser! You were defeated at the gym?" S***! It was Gary Clark again! "If you lost its normal. You lose in everything! HA!" "What you doing here?" I said with an angry face. "I just wanted to see you losing on the gym!" He said. "Shut up! I won the gym! Now let me pass!" I said but then he grabbed a pokeball. "I just warn you. I will win you and you will be a loser forever! Wanna see?" He throws a pokeball, containing a Kadabra. "Where did you got Kadabra?" I asked. I was really surprised about the Psychic Type Pokemon. "I evolved it! And he is not the only one! I have a full team of 6 Pokemon!" I got surprised. "Kadabra lets go." He left to Route 3. I start to run towards to Route 3. "Hey wait! I want my skateboard back!" |
Mauve Banzett Spoiler:
The Pewter Badge "Well then... Onix cannot continue. Weepinbell is the victor, and so you win, Mauve. Come on back, Onix. You were terrific," Brock said, as the Rock Snake as ported back into it's Pokeball. Raze fell to it's side, still conscious, but very tired. Running up to it, Mauve scooped up his partner and gave him a big hug. "We did it, little friend! You were spectacular!" "B-Bell... Weepin... Bell...." Raze gave a half smile, looking up at Mauve. "Now, return. I'll take you and Huff 'n Puff to the Pokemon Center as possible." He smiled at the Weepinbell, as it returned. Standing up, he was met with Brock, handing him that shining badge. "Here, this is the Pewter Badge. You deserve this." Mauve received the badge, and nodded. "Good luck on your ventures. Oh, and... with that pretty little lady," Brock said with another smug grin and a wink. Flustered again, Mauve hastily thanked the Gym Leader, and left the gym. Brock chuckled and smiled, then left to heal his own Pokemon as the double doors closed behind Mauve. As Mauve entered the Pokemon Center, a friendly Nurse Joy had greeted him. "Hello there! Can I help you with anything?" "Yes, my Pokemon and I just battled the Gym Leader, and need to recover," Mauve replied, his two occupied Pokeballs in hand. "Absolutely! Just leave your Pokemon with me, and I'll treat them. There's a waiting area over there." The nurse pointed over to the left of her desk, next to a PC was a sitting area. Handing her the Pokeballs, Mauve thanked her, and she went with her Chansey to the treatment area. Mauve, slowly walking over to the seat, couldn't help but enjoy the air inside the Pokemon Center. He felt... a sense of relief he'd never known before. Sitting down, he took in the smell, and how the room was at the perfect temperature. Suddenly, he snapped himself out of his stupor, and held the Pewter Badge to eye level. It shined in the light, a mark of defeating the Pewter Gym. He smirked, and pulled out a badge case he was holding in his black, vinyl messenger bag. It was a solid black color, and had a nice sheen to it. There was also a purple Pokeball design on the front. Inside, was a purple interior with slots that fit every badge in every region. "Eight badges... eight battles, tests of cunning, strength and team work... I look forward to the next one," Mauve thought to himself, as he clipped the first badge inside, and slid the badge case into his front pocket. Just then, the jingle that played when Nurse Joy was arriving with Pokemon was heard. Mauve got up, and quickly walked up to the desk. Nurse Joy came through the door, and carried a tray with Mauve's Pokeballs. "Your Pokemon have been fully recovered, and there are no problems. Have you won your Gym battle?" Joy asked with curiosity. Mauve nodded. "Well, that's good to hear. Brock may be the lowest ranked Gym leader, but I assume you know he was not an easy win. I can tell your Pokemon depend and trust you." "Thank you, Nurse Joy. I try my hardest for my Pokemon." Joy nodded, and Mauve received the Pokeballs. He thanked her for her service, and left the center. En Route in Route 3 "Alright, Huff'n Puff, let's try again!" Huff 'n Puff was battling a Raticate, which was putting up quite a fight. However,Mauve was not only trying to train his Koffing, but also try to teach him Toxic Spikes. "Alright, Huff 'n Puff! Toxic Spikes! The Koffing jerked and hiccuped, and with a big puff, dark purple spikes had spewed out of Koffing onto the field, sinking into the ground. Raticate looked around, but bared it's fangs again. Mauve jumped in excitement, Raze wiggling in joy. " Hoorah, you did it!" The Koffing and Mauve were so happy, they forgot about the Raticate lunging towards the Poison Gas Pokemon. With a smack, Koffing was hit with a Tackle attack, and hit Mauve square in the head. He fell back, and quickly shot up, shouting, "Ugh, get that rat with a Sludge attack!" The Koffing huffed, and spewed a sloppy Sludge attack at the Raticate, blinding the Mouse Pokemon. "Now, send that little rodent flying with a Tackle attack of your own!" "Koffiiing!" Huff 'n Puff slammed itself into Raticate, knocking it away. Before Mauve gave Huff 'n Puff a big hug, he was met with an interesting sound. "Bal-toy, Bal-toy, Bal-toooooyyy..." He turned, and faced a wobbly Baltoy. "A Baltoy... Also known as the Clay Doll Pokemon. A very mysterious Ground and Psychic-type Pokemon that was supposedly created by man in ancient times... Interesting." Mauve grew a grin on his face, deciding he was gonna catch this Baltoy. Looking up at Mauve, Baltoy gave a quizzical look at the trainer. Raze looked down, and waved a leaf as a greeting. Baltoy wobbled and waved back. "Well... aren't you an interesting little guy. I'd definitely like to catch you. Huff 'n Puff, return." Mauve returned Koffing, and unclipped an empty Pokeball from his belt. Surprisingly, the Baltoy spun immediately into action. Taking a good distance, it looked like it was ready. "Well... this will be difficult. I only have two Poison-type Pokemon, while I'm trying to catch a partially Psychic-type. However... we're evenly matched." Mauve looked down, meeting Razes gaze. He nodded, and Raze unfurled it's vine off of its trainer, hopping to the front of Baltoy. "Let's begin." Before Mauve made a move, the Baltoy used a Confsuion attack, its eyes glowing blue. "Bell... Weepin..." Raze was stuck, feeling as if he was being crushed by an unseen hand. "Raze, try using Razor Leaf!" Raze struggled, but flung a flurry of Razor Leaf attacks. However, Baltoy quickly switched gears from Confusion to Rapid Spin, knocking down the Razor Leaf and spun into Raze as well. "Well then... you're one heck of a Baltoy. Now, use Wrap attack!" Raze shot his vine at Baltoy, and trapped it in his vine, squeezing him more and more. Baltoy was indeed stuck, and tried to spin out of it. "Alright, now, let's try another Razor Leaf!" Raze unleashed a barrage of Razor Leaf attacks at the Baltoy, cutting through the Clay Doll while Wrap was still in effect. "We got it on the ropes now!" Mauve was holding the Pokeball tightly in his hand, wanting to throw it, but was more concerned with a more than likely catch. Baltoy suddenly rose up slightly, and hit the ground, causing rocks to trap Raze. "Ah, a Rock Tomb attack! Clever little guy..." Raze's Wrap was done, and Baltoy spun away. "Raze, try using your Vine whip!" The Flycatcher whipped and whipped, but couldn't get out that easily. That's when Baltoys eyes had started to glow again. Mauve could hear Raze in pain. "Ugh... this isn't good... huh?" Suddenly, Raze seemed to... groan. Not in pain, but seemed to struggle with something. Baltoy stopped it's attack, and looked on in confusion. "Belllll... Weepin-BELL!" Raze had grown a bit, surprising both Mauve and the Baltoy. When Mauve tried to think what was happening, it hit him. "Raze, you suddenly learned Growth! You crafty Pokemon you! Now, break out with a Vine whip!" Raze broke through the Rock Tomb, hitting the Baltoy with not only the rocks, but also with it's Vine Whip. Baltoy fell to the ground. However, after trying to get up... Baltoy had fainted. "Good show, Raze! Now..." Both Mauve and Raze looked at the fainted Baltoy. Holding up the Pokeball, he readied himself. "Now, Pokeball, go!" He chucked the ball, and hit Baltoy on its head. It was beamed into the Pokeball, and began rattling inside. It landed to the ground... still rattling.... Mauve and Raze looked in anticipation. One shake... Two shakes... Three shakes... |

http://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/015.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/013.png Anselme Gwenaël Ducreux Pewter City: Police Station → Pokemon Center “Officer, I’m here to report a kidnapping.” “Okay,” began the police officer with a serious look on her face. “I’ll need the person’s name, date of birth, height, wei-” “No, you don’t understand.” Interrupted Anselme. “It’s me.” The officer looked at Anselme with a confused expression. “I was kidnapped.” The officer looked at Anselme for a moment, with his healthy Beedrill companion overhead, his massive hiking backpack, and earphones hanging from his shirt. “Well you seem fine now, so I’m not quite sure what you need.” The officer didn’t seem very happy with Anselme, probably thinking he was playing a prank or something. Anselme groaned before pulling out the letter from Enzo which had been crumpled badly from the abuse inflicted upon it by Anselme in his rage after reading it. “See, I’m from Kalos and my damn brother used his stupid pokemon to put me to sleep before dumping me in that forest back there. I need help getting back 'cause the jerk didn’t leave me any money.” The woman didn’t seem to find the letter very believable, and when it became clear Anselme was asking for money she concluded he had to be a scam artist, and a very bad one at that. “Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to leave. Don’t try to solicit money from the police again or we’re going to have a problem.” Anselme clenched his fist in frustration, but didn’t say anything. After a bit of thought over what he could say to convince this woman he wasn’t lying, he decided he should just give up and try something else. At this point she probably wouldn’t believe anything he said anyway. He sighed and loosened up a bit before speaking up again. “Okay, forget all of that. So I’m a novice pokemon trainer who needs some advice. How does a trainer make money? That’s a harmless enough question, right?” Only after countering with her own sigh, probably because Ansleme wouldn’t leave, did she answer. “Aren’t you a little old to be a novice? And even then, shouldn’t you learn the basics before leaving home to traverse the wilderness and fight with powerful creatures?” Anselme conspicuously folded the letter from Enzo in front of the woman as he glared at her before jamming it into his pocket, but didn’t say anything. “Fine, I guess it’s a harmless enough question. Trainers battle, so it makes sense that that’s how they make their living. You could find some trainers willing to bet their money, but since you don’t have any yourself that won’t work. Alternatively, you could challenge the gym leader, Brock. You’d get a reward for beating him along with the badge, although I’m not sure you’d do very well against him with a bug type.” While he didn’t appreciate the woman’s attitude, Anselme was glad to finally get some useful information. So his only option was to fight this Brock guy? He’d rather not. Maybe there were some odd jobs he could pick up instead. Well, it was good knowing that if that’s what it came to, he could use stabbyhands over there to make some money. “Well thanks anyway,” Anselme said to the policewoman, reaching for his earphones as he left the station. Anselme wasn’t sure where to go from here. Pewter City wasn’t anywhere near as big as Lumiose, but it was still a full-on city as opposed to a town and thus decently big. As he wandered, he put in his earphones and pulled out a cigarette. ♫ There ain’t no motive for this crime, Jenny was a friend of mine. ♫ Anselme tended to leave his music playing even if he took his earphones out, so the music resumed immediately once he put his earphones in. Sure it wouldn’t be too much trouble to press pause, but there was something about not knowing what would be playing when he put those buds in again that he liked. With a puff of smoke, Anselme realized that despite being in a completely different region that he knew nothing about, he felt right at home. Music in his ears, a cigarette in his mouth, and surrounded by people he didn’t know or care about as he walked the city streets. There was one major difference, though, in the form of a very faint buzzing sound constantly overhead that he could barely hear over his music. He looked over his shoulder and realized that his Beedrill had distanced itself from him. It probably didn’t like the smoke, so he returned it to its pokeball and continued on his way. People talked about how having pokemon changed their lives, but having one didn’t really make Anselme feel any different. In his wandering, Anselme passed a news stand where he considered buying a newspaper to look for work when he remembered he had no money so he was forced to move on. Damn Enzo, next time I see that bastard I’ll kill him. He wasn’t really going to kill him, but he wasn’t going to forgive this either. Eventually he stumbled upon a pokemon center. While he never had pokemon before to bring to a center, he still visited them whenever he wanted to sit down for a bit on the walk home or for the handful of times he needed to use the free video phones. Suddenly, something occurred to him and he rushed inside, making sure to step on what remained of his latest cigarette before entering. Anselme made a beeline for the videophones which he found fairly easily despite the different layout than the Kalos pokemon centers, but he was stopped when the nurse at the counter called out to him. “Sir?” he managed to hear her say through his music. He sighed and pulled his earphones out as he walked up to the counter. “Is your name Anselme Ducreux, by any chance?” Anselme had to raise an eyebrow at this. “Yeah, that’s me,” he answered a bit apprehensively. “There was a package left here for you. He gave us your description and said you’d be coming soon to pick it up.” She pulled up a small box from under the counter and handed it to Anselme. “Here you go. We checked the contents just to be sure, and it looks like you’re really going to need this.” “Hold on,” Anselme said, not quite taking the box yet. “You said he. Did the guy who left this happen to look sort of like me but tanner, buffer, and with ridiculously expensive clothes?” She nodded and Anselme’s face instantly contorted with disgust as if he suddenly walked into a sewer, leaving the nurse a bit puzzled. He stared at the box for a few more moments before finally taking it. “Sorry about that, and thanks. And a warning, that guy might look all nice and cool, but he’s a total *******.” With that, he retreated to a nearby couch and warily opened the box. The nurse was right when she said he would really need it. Inside was his wallet, which drew a sigh of relief from him, and a pair of devices. One of them looked like a flip phone but considering how it was really thick and covered with pokeball symbols there was probably more to it than that. The other was a tablet-like thing Ansleme easily recognized because of the way Enzo showed his own off every chance he got all those years ago. A pokedex, or the Kalos version, at least. Putting it aside, Anselme flipped open the phone thing and saw that it was indeed a phone, in part at least, when he saw a number already dialed in and ready to be called. He knew exactly who the number belonged to and called it eagerly. The dial tone played. "Hey, bro! You made it out of Viridian Forest sooner than I expected! How's th-" "NO!" Interrupted Anselme. As he thought, it was Enzo's number, and he had a mountain of things to say. "You drug me and dump me in a damn forest in ANOTHER REGION THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY, and when I finally make it out of that goddamn forest you have the nerve to just go 'hey bro'? NO!" Anselme's screaming drew the gaze of just about every single person in the pokemon center, but he didn't care. To him, it was just him and Enzo. "I finally build up the goddamn nerve to swallow my goddamn pride and ask you for your goddamn help and THIS IS WHAT I GET? WHAT THE HELL?! I thought you'd put in a good word for me at a good job or maybe loan me some money, not take away what little I have in my miserable life that I can call my own... ****... I just... what the hell, man?" After a brief moment of silence, Enzo's voice came back through the speaker. "Are you done?" Was all that he said. "Like hell I'm done!" Despite this, Anselme couldn't quite find the words to say anything else. He'd just blurted out that last part without thinking, and now he wasn't sure how to continue. Sure he was still angry as hell, but... He called with this massive list of things he wanted to complain about in mind, but now he realized that none of those things mattered to him nearly as much as the real issue; his feelings of betrayal. What the hell... And here I was ready to kill the guy just a few minutes ago... After another pause he simply sighed and said, "Yeah, I'm done." The way Enzo continued was unexpected. "Do you remember how much of a brat I was when we were little kids?" "God, how could I forget?" Answered Anselme as he put his palm to his forehead. "What, are you going to tell me how the 'magic' of a pokemon journey fixed you and that's why you put me here?" "Yeah. It seems so simple from the outside; collect the badges and battle in the league. But you get exposed to so many different kinds of people, make friends, enemies, rivals, and maybe something more, that I think it's impossible not to change unless you're trying really, really hard. And along the whole way, there are those pokemon you take care of who all have minds of their own. You might even catch some you don't get along with. But when push comes to shove you're still their trainer and like you've taken care of them, they'll take care of you." Enzo falls silent, probably lost in nostalgia. "You'll learn a lot about yourself from the people you meet, and it'll help you grow as a person. And it's your pokemon who will keep you from falling while you work towards that." Enzo sighed. "Sorry, I don't think that actually made any sense. I'm good with pokemon, not words. But I hope you get where I'm coming from, at least. "I got the gist of it. Don't really believe it, but I know you do." There was another short pause before Enzo continued. "That thing I gave you that you're calling me on is called a pokegear. Sylph Co. makes them. You already know it has a phone in it, but it also has a clock, map, radio, and even a tracker." Yet another pause. Neither of them were really very used to talking civilly with each other for this long, but it wasn't like Anselme could kick Enzo out like he usually did. "Don't worry about home. I'm paying your flat's rent and I've made a deal with the hotel. But you know, if you ever decide you really want to quit, you can just give me a call and I'll come pick you up." "Hell no! After this insane stunt I'm never asking you for help again! Don't forget that I'm still pissed at you. I'll get back on my own. Stabbyhands was yours, so it's probably super tough. I'll just whoop some kids, take their money, and be on the first ship to Kalos I can find. Easy." "...Stabby hands? That's what you named her?" "I'm not going to ask how you can tell it's a girl. Instead I'm going to hang up because I'm tired of talking to you." It sounded like Enzo was about to say something else, but Anselme simply closed the pokegear. For a minute, all he could do was stare at the pokegear trying to make something of that conversation. He gave up rather quickly though and got up, leaving the pokemon center with all eyes still on him, not that he cared. Once outside, the first thing he did was put in his earphones and light a cigarette as he thought, I really hope there's a bar nearby... |

As stated before, Ruby was not a professional Pokémon trainer. However, Ruby did have an ingrained image in her head about what to expect of Gym Leaders. She imagined that they would be strong and serious. She figured that they would have that certain air about them that would intimidate anyone who happened to come across them, one that would demand a certain amount of respect and awe. Brock... was not any of this. |
Gelius Emerald - Route 3 - Rat attack Damn it! I lost him again. At least i was on my way to Cerulean. Now i remember, i need to ask Bill about the Pokemon that i saw when i was younger. But now i was seeing something interesting. Gary Clark was a victim of a horde of like 50 Raticates. I tried to not laugh but then 2 Raticates appeared. I was so screwed because one of them warned all the group. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Well i am seeing you being attacked." I said. "Good thing you like to see me at this situation... Because you are next!" He shouted. "What do you suggest to do?" I said to him. "Oh and i want my skateboard back!" "Forget the f****** skateboard and hear me! When i say 3 we run! Understood?" I nodded to his idea. "1, 2... 3!!!!!!" He shouted and then we started to run the faster we could. 50 Raticates were after us. "Why i tried to catch the leader?" He sighed. As i heard him i get mad. "Then this is your fault! If i die, on my grave will be written: F*** you Gary Clark!" I shouted at him. "No worries! If i die, will be written on my grave: Gelius is a little loser!" He said as he laughed. We kept running for 10 minutes until i found someone. One trainer, maybe he was strong enough to help me. "Yo trainer! Help me! We have a whole horde chasing us!" "Be man and fight! Croconaw, Kadabra and Pidgeotto lets fight!" Gary Clark sent out his pokemon. Kadabra, Croconaw and Pidgeotto are pretty good Pokemon. If he is going to fight then i am going too. I bring out all my Pokemon. Sludges, Bubbles and Leaf came out. I was waiting for help. |
Mauve Banzett Spoiler:
A Warm, Wobbly Welcome And with a click, Mauve's Pokeball clicked, and rested on the grassy ground. Mauve slowly made his way, and picked up the Pokeball. Raze hopped closely behind, looking up at his new teammate. "Well... we did it. We caught ourselves a Baltoy," Mauve said with a smile, as he patted Raze. The Weepinbell smiled back, and waved its leaves in approval. "But, we need to fix up both you and our new member. Alright then, Baltoy and Huff 'n Puff, come on out!" Mauve lightly tossed the other two occupied Pokeballs he had. His smiling Koffing gave a hearty call, and Baltoy dizzily spun around. Sitting down against a boulder, and caught the tired Baltoy. Raze and Huff 'n Puff rested along either side of their trainer. Raze and Huff 'n Puff welcomed the Baltoy with warm greetings. "Welcome to the family, little one. I'll take care of you." Mauve's gentle smile comforted the Baltoy, allowing Mauve to reach into his bag for his supplies. Digging around, he pulled out his notes, and a super potion. He also pulled out a Sitrus Berry to feed Baltoy. "Bal... Baltoy?" The Clay Doll Pokemon tilted it's head in confusion. "Ah, yes. I'll heal you myself. It's a little tradition, I suppose.... After I catch a new Pokemon, I treat them myself." He carefully aimed, and sprayed the Super Potion on Baltoy. It only flinched a bit, but felt fine in seconds. "Here's another part of my tradition... a gift, for you," Mauve held the Sitrus berry before Baltoy. Looking over, Baltoy was met with a nod from Raze. It accepted Mauve's gift, and ate at it with a steady pace. "Bal... Bal-toy!" It happily ate the berry, and wobbled around in front of it's new family. Mauve, however, was thinking deeply about something. "Hmm... what should I name you, little one?" Mauve said aloud to the wobbly Baltoy. "Maybe... oh, I know! How about Jinzo?" The Baltoy stopped in place, and looked up at him. It nodded, and hopped up and down in approval. "Then Jinzo it is!" Both Huff 'n Puff and Jinzo spun and bumped into each other, Raze sitting closely with Mauve and enjoying the two just as much as Mauve was. "Alright, Jinzo, Huff 'n Puff, return!" It's been a while since Mauve caught Jinzo, as he decided to let he and his Pokemon rest and relax after their recent battles. After the two returned to their Pokeballs, Mauve and Raze set off through Route 3 to get to Mt. Moon. "There should be a center near the entrance of Mt. Moon. I can have all three of you checked up on before we proceed. Though, with our team now, we can manage quite well. Wouldn't you say, Raze?" "Beeelllll!" The Weepinbell cried in approval. As Mauve and Raze walked through the mountainous path, he seemed to have something on his mind, turning around to the path behind him every few minutes. "Bell... Weepin?" Mauve's attention was grabbed by Raze's wiggling and fluttering. "Sorry, partner. I was thinking of that woman we met at the Pewter Gym. Ruby, I'm sure... I wonder how she'll fare against Brock." Mauve thought hard about going back, to see if Ruby needed help. But, he shook his head in protest. Mauve needed to stay focused, and keep moving. Though he'd like to chat with her more often, he couldn't slow both her and himself. After one final look, Mauve rubbed his eyes, and continued through the path. Both Mauve and Raze remained silent as they ventured towards the entrance of Mt. Moon. |
Danica Chandler Pewter City You Shall Not Pass! Having had enough of throwing away precious seconds of her life, Danica finished her can of Soda Pop and exited the museum. Nothing seemed to have changed outside. She went over to the Gym, hoping that the Gym Leader would be more available for a battle. But as something inside told her that he wasn't, she decided to instead go at a slow pace and enjoy the walk. The mountain air was clean, and the weather was pleasant, so why not? She could see many people heading east of town. She pulled out her Pokégear and checked the Map App. East of Pewter City is Route 3, which leads to... When she saw the place she couldn't help but smirk. Mt. Moon! Awesome! I'll be more than sure to find a Moon Stone there! And I could get my hands on an awesome Pokémon... Another giggle escaped her mouth, but this time she didn't bother to conceal it. She decided to head east. Brock can wait. First, I'll go look for some more Pokémon, and a Moon Stone! She walked at a hasty pace towards the mountain area, when all of a sudden a blonde-haired guy pulled her arm. "HEY! WHAT THE-" she screamed. "Sorry, miss." the guy said, "But I'm afraid I can't let you any further." "Excuse me?" "Yes." he said, "By the looks of you, you appear to be a rookie trainer. I don't think you could make it past this area." Danica gritted her teeth in response, and was about to challenge this guy to a battle, and reached for a Pokéball on her hoodie's pocket. "I'll show you! Curtis, come out!" she said, throwing it in the air. Out of it came... a Ralts. It didn't look particularly strong. The boy sighed. "Alright. Beedrill, go!" Bee...Beedrill? The guy's Beedrill brought a blank look to Danica's face. She shuddered, and her face turned pale. Curtis caught a huge wave of negativity from his trainer, and began to feel uneasy as well. "Miss...are you...are you okay?" "C-Curtis...use...use Disarming Voice!" "Beedrill, Twineedle!" Although Curtis' attack dealt some damage to its foe, he had a hard time enduring the Bug-type's jabs. The blonde trainer saw that Danica was clearly unwell and once again asked, "Miss! Are you alright?" "Curtis, Disarming Voice, one more time!" "Sigh... What a weird girl... Beedrill, Fury Attack! Go!" Beedrill, this time, hit faster, and although he couldn't avoid being hurt by the Ralts' move, the repeated attacks from it were too much for the Psychic-type to handle and it ended up fainting. "Beedrill, return." he said and approched the girl, "What's with you?" "S-Stay away!" she shouted. "Look, I don't know what's gotten into ya, but if you couldn't defeat me, I doubt you'll be able to make it past Route 3. My Beedrill has trouble battling the wild Pokémon there!" Danica looked at the guy with a mix of fear and anger in her eyes. "Tell ya what, if you show me the Boulder Badge, I'll let you pass! Brock's tougher than me, so if you beat him, you'll be able to hold your own in this area." Danica grunted. Without a word, she returned Curtis to the Pokéball and ran away from the blonde guy, but not before glaring at him. The guy, in response, cratched his head in confusion. What a weird girl indeed..." |
Sigurður "Sigur" Gunnarsson Viridian Forest "And Then There Were Three" The girl didn't reply to Sigur's demand with words, but that was all fine and dandy with him; the important part was that she did what he'd wanted, and without a moment spent in waste; she ordered her teensy grass reptile to attack. And, much to Sigur's surprise, it actually could do more than just roll helplessly on its back; it shot some kind of weird seeds towards the pesky rodents, effectively knocking some of them out of the game. Woah, there. Seed... Bomb, was it? Well, at least the name fit the deal and all. So then, what could have been the name of the attack Bál used before? 'Dig-a-hole'? ... He really needed a dictionary for this. Bál wasn't as impressed by the grass Pokémon's performance as her trainer was however, and merely cocked her head to show her indifference. Then, with her claws glowing an eerie color, she rushed towards the Pikachu, showing off her own moves by slashing across a few of them. 'Glow Claw Attack'? He gave up. Just when Sigur had started to calm from his momentary state of panic a little, a Pikachu suddenly burst from a nearby bush, only to get swiftly bitten by a brown fox that appeared just as much out of nowhere as the mouse had. The hell, these things just kept popping up, didn't they?! Well, at least it seemed like the fox and the turtle managed to do some pretty cool teamwork maneuvers - well, until the Eevee suddenly looked... not well? Sigur raised his brows and tried to peek at what the girl was doing when she ran up to her Pokémon. It wasn't that he particularly cared, but now that Bál was next to him kicking Pikachu ass left and right, he didn't feel he was in trouble anymore. So, he might as well be a bit nosy. From where Sigur was standing, it looked like whatever she fed the fox made it all better again, for... some reason? The hell, he wanted some of that crap for himself. Goodbye, neck pains and sore feet. He was just about to take a step closer and ask her if she had some more of whatever drug she'd shoved in the Pokémon's mouth, when he received a rather sudden reminder that they were not quite safe yet; out of nowhere (seriously, couldn't any of these assholes knock?) some more Pikachu surrounded the turtle, and for whatever reason he couldn't fathom, the little runt of a girl got up and jumped in the way. Yeah, that was real smart. Possibly heart-stopping electricity always did scream 'come here'. "Are you serious?" Sigur groaned at that point, surprised and, ironically enough, shocked. "You're gonna get your sorry little ass roasted, genius!" Well, she kinda already did. Shit, this was bad. She was clearly in pain, and the Pikachu were still surrounding her. Bál could help, but the chance of her not slashing her a third eye in the middle of her forehead by accident was really slim, and he was most definitely not risking his behind, and- Aaaand then another surprise followed. This one was a more favorable kind, though. "Momo, use Mach Punch!" Yeah, the surprise came with a shout, followed by a very freaking ear-gritting cry from what appeared to be a monkey on steroids leaping into the scene and punching out one of the Pikachu - quite literally. A girl followed soon after the monkey's arrival, immediately running to the other pipsqueak to check (and ask) if she was okay. "She was just shocked by one of those rapid-ass rats," Sigur commented dryly at her question. "Whaddya think?" Regardless, her arrival had kinda bailed them outta trouble, just like the first girl had bailed him outta it earlier. Damn it, his day so far consisted of getting rescued by teenage chicks - and one female dragon that didn't listen to a word he said. Amazing. He sure was getting a wonderful start to his epic journey of animal abuse. Well, at least Bál was having fun. And, well, the plethora of Pikachu that had surrounded them earlier had been reduced to a measly two at this point. One of them was just your average, run-off-the-mill variety of crazy rodent, but the other looked... weird. It had scars and a bandanna of some sort, for whatever reason. Had it ran away from a trainer, or did it just suffer from a pretty damn bad fashion sense? Well, whatever. "Alright, we'll take it from here," Sigur mumbled, hands in his pockets now as he nodded towards Bál. He had to at least be the one to deal the finishing blow to these things to attempt to regain some dignity and respect here, right? "Alright, use... the... the thing where you do some **** with your claws." Bál rolled her eyes, but kicked off the ground to go for a Dragon Claw attack regardless. Both claws glowing, she sunk one claw into both of the two's heads, immediately knocking out the regular Pikachu and leaving the other one stammering on all fours, bruised and barely conscious but seemingly twice as angry as before. Tch. "Oh come on, finish it!" Sigur groaned, and after quickly turning to throw a glare at him, Bál readied her claws to do just that. ------------- Pokémon on Hand http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/444f.gif Bál, ♀ Ability: Sand Veil Moveset: - Dragon Claw - Body Slam - Dig - Sandstorm - Hone Claws |
Vernita Glade Adventures http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/387.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/133.gif A New Figure ~Viridian Forest~ The electrical shock came fast and Vernita still gritted her teeth, trying to make herself resist the pain. She tries her hardest to be stoic, but she then sees dark spots moving across her, making the pain stronger. This is all over for me, Vernita thought. Those Pikachu must have us completely surrounded. There- Her thoughts were cut off as she felt that the shocks didn't come. At first she thought it was because they wanted to finish her off slowly, but then she heard a voice. "Are you okay?" The girl asked Vernita. Vernita still tried to recover her energy, although she knows this had affected her greatly. But where was the boy with his Gabite? As if to answer her question, the boy suddenly spoke. "She was just shocked by one of those rapid-ass rats," he said too dry. "Whaddya think?" Vernita felt like correcting the boy, for these were Pikachu. Now that she thinks about it, weren't Pikachu rare to be found in Viridian Forest? Why are they banding together? Did something awful happened? Vernita still didn't like his attitude, after all, whoever the girl was came to their rescue. She opened her eyes and saw the boy's Gabite, a Monferno, her Eevee and Turtwig finish off the Pikachu until two remained: a regular Pikachu and the other one from earlier that attacked Eevee. It looked pretty ruthless, it's eyes staring cold instead of cowering. The other one was probably there to support the bandana Pikachu. She turned away from that and looked towards the girl that had helped them. She looked younger than Vernita and the boy, but her pokemon must be that Monferno, and it sure came in handy. She had some sort of reddish magenta hair, and she had those young, yet dark eyes. Now that Vernita thinks about it, she is sort of her height. Just great, she thought. Another person younger than me that's taller. She pushed the thought aside and decided to get up. It had hurt a lot, especially her arms, but she managed to stand up and stay that way without falling. She winced a bit, but Vernita felt fine, or at least she was convincing herself this. Truth be told, she felt like crap. But she did promise her brother that today she was getting her badge from Brock. And she planned on that happening, no matter what. "I'm fine now," she said. "But now-" Vernita turned from the girl to the boy to the remaining Pikachu. She gave a challenging look to the scarred Pikachu, and it gladly return a stone stare. The other Pikachu looked like it wanted to bail out, seeing that not only they were alone but clearly outnumbered. The weird looking Pikachu started to gain static from its cheeks, and for a second it looked like he was going to charge at the group. At the last second though, it back down and in unison, they both retreated beyond the bushes. Turtwig started to go after them, but Vernita spoke. "Just leave them. We probably did more damage than they expected," she said peacefully to her Turtwig. Then both Eevee and Turtwig got close to Vernita, and she turned to the other trainers. She might as well get to know their names, since they had all saved her skin. "What's your name? Might as well get to know each other." Vernita tried to not think how she looked like right now, mainly because it didn't matter. "I'm Vernita." Her thoughts then wandered to the attack. Why did the Pikachu strike as one? What did they want anyway? But it was clear enough that no one was getting answers today, and Vernita might as well not dwell on that. She waited for the others to say their names, if they were up to it. |
Danica Chandler Pewter Gym Boulder Badge Battle Begins! It took the whole walk from the east exit of Pewter City to the Pokémon Center, and from there to Brock's Gym to get Danica to calm down. She thought of things like "Why didn't I use Confusion? That Beedrill would've been gone in no time and I'd be in Mt. Moon getting some Moon Stones... And maybe some fossils, too! Gah!" and more related thoughts, beating herself up in her own mind. But soon came the time to regain her senses, for she was before a huge rocky building that had the word "GYM" above the door. Surprisingly, there was nobody else in line, so she took a deep breath and entered. There were few electrical lights at the Gym, with the Leader apparently preferring to let the natural sunlight illuminate the Gym instead. And it was all decorated with boulders and rocks. There were also two statues, each with an inscription that said: "PEWTER CITY POKÉMON GYM - LEADER: BROCK" Then, a man in his forties with a pair of glasses appeared from behind one of the statues. "Howdy, Champ-in-the-making! Welcome to Pewter City Gym!" Danica kept her serious expression and grabbed Curtis' Pokéball. "...Are you Brock?" The man was surprised at how the girl responded. "Um, no, miss. I'm the Gym Guide. You look like an amazing trainer, with potential to be the Champion! With my advice, I can take you to the-" "Where's Brock?" she said, "I want to battle him for his Badge." The Gym Guide stared with a sweatdrop expression. "Um, wait for him at the battlefield over there." he said, "And, he uses Rock-type Pokémon, so you should counter with a Water or Grass-type mo-" "Okay." she replied coldly, all but ignoring the poor guide who was just doing his job. The guide watched her as she went to the battlefield. "What a weird girl..." he thought. Danica walked over to a side of the battlefield. It was all rocky, and even had a few holes scattered around. A young man soon appeared on the other side. "So, you're here, challenger. I'm Brock. I'm Pewter's Gym Leader. My rock-hard willpower is evident even in my Pokémon. My Pokémon are all rock hard, and have true-grit determination. That's right - my Pokémon are all the Rock type! Fuhaha!" "..." Danica said nothing. What's with this guy? She held her only Pokemon's ball in her right hand. "By the way, what's your name, challenger? And how many Pokémon are you battling with?" "...I'm Danica. And I only have one Pokémon with me." she said. She thought about how no other Pokémon that she met on the way drew her attention, and shuddered at the memories of her trip through Viridian Forest. "Only one Pokémon?" Brock said, and chuckled. "It's not gonna be easy for you! My Pokémon are impervious to most physical attacks. You'll have a hard time inflicting any damage. You're going to challenge me knowing that you'll lose?" Danica said nothing and her face didn't change. "Fuhaha! That's the Trainer's honor that compels you to challenge me. Fine, then! Show me your best!" "Curtis, come out!" "Onix, go!" |
Part 4. Your It Lilliana http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/PikaBot/Icons/Fairy%20Tail/Batch%2005/wendy-02.png Spoiler:
And Delta Spoiler:
"What is it you want to play miss." Delta asked her and Lilliana stopped bouncing and giggled again before looking deep in thought. "Hmmm..." She closed her eyes for a second a thought popping into her head. "I know!" the child exclaimed happily opening her eyes and setting Aria down before walking over to Delta. "Tag your it!" she cried out happily tapping Delta's arm before running into the trees her pokemon right behind her. Delta stood still as he watched the girl run through the trees. "You see her Riley?" Delta asked turning to face his Pokémon. Riley nodded and began to run towards the girl, Delta followed gasping for air by the time he caught up with Riley and Lilliana. "Damn... You can really move you know that?" Delta chuckled as he collapsed against a tree. He looked towards the sky and saw a strange balloon fly past, heading towards mount moon... While the balloon was in the distance he could make out what appeared to be a big red R. "Do you see that?" Delta asked turning to face Lilliana. Lilliana looked up at the sky and nodded before looking back at Delta "Yeah what do you think it is?" she asked scooping Aria up into her arms. A confused look appeared on her face as she tried to think about what that symbol meant. "I don't know what that R means. I'm not from this region" she said softly as Aria started to squirm. "Mar. Marill!" Aria cried squirming and grabbing the paper from the pocket of Lilliana's dress and showing her. "Oh! I forgot" The girl giggled looking from the paper back to Delta. "I'm sorry to cut our game short Delta, Aria just reminded me we had things to do I've got to heal the Pokemon I caught and then face the gym" She smiled happily. "I'm sorry to cut our game short Delta, Aria just reminded me we had things to do I've got to heal the Pokemon I caught and then face the gym" Lilliana smiled. "Oh the gym!" Delta cried out realizing he had wasted the entire day. "Thanks for reminding me." Delta muttered to Lilliana before recalling his Pokemon and running back towards Pewter city, having already forgot about the mysterious balloon... |
Pewter City: Battle for the boulder badge! Delta Spoiler:
After he had left Viridian Forrest he had rushed back to Pewter city only to find the Pewter city gym closed for the night. After a few minutes of pouting Delta had decided to head to the Pokemon Center and rent a room. He opened his Laptop and began to do some research on the Pewter city gym leader, falling asleep with his head on the keyboard. Char woke Delta up with its infant Charmandee crying. After feeding the little fire lizard a blend of Oran berries and Moo Moo milk Delta decided to try his luck and challenge the Pewter city gym. Delta stumbled out of his hotel room and grabbed a bagel from the free breakfast bar that he enjoyed so much, he ran out if the Pokemon Center with Riley at his heels and barged through the doors of the now open gym. "Hey there champ in the making!" A gray haired man with glasses shouted from in front of a marble statue. "My name is Delta and I'm here to challenge Brock and earn the boulder badge!" Delta replied excited. Alright! Have some fresh water! The man replied tossing Delta a bottle of water while opening the door to Brock's arena. Delta obtained a bottle of fresh water! Delta put the bottle of fresh water in the beverages pocket! Hello challenger! My name is Brock and I believe in Rock hard defense! Is this your first gym battle? A brown haired trainer asked. Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to show you a whole new kind of hurt! Delta smirked cockily. I like your spirit kid. This will be a two on two battle! Go Geodude! Brock hollered while tossing a red and white Pokeball towards the Rocky field in between Delta and himself. "Char! Show him what champions are made of!" Delta hollered in reply tossing her Pokeball towards Brock's. Geodude! Rollout!" Brock cried out as the Rick type began to roll towards Char at an alarming pace. Char! Dodge it and use ember! Delta replied holding his breath. Char leaped up and landed behind the slightly confused Geodude. With a loud gurgling sound Char released a barrage of embers towards Geodude. The rock type Pokemon was surprised by the force and skill the infant Charmander had shown, but was still barely fazed by the fire type attack. Geodude threw himself backwards beginning his rollout attack again. Char was smacked by the boulder before Delta could blink. "Ch... ar..." Char cried as she struggled to climb to her feet. "Char!" The lizard roared as her tail began to glow like an inferno. Char? You okay? Delta asked wondering what was happening. That looks like the ability Blaze, it makes fire type moves more powerful when the Pokemon has low strength. Brock chuckled. Oh... Well then... Char! Use ember again! Char reared its head back and spat a stream of flaming spit towards the Geodude who was rolling towards Char. The two Pokemon collided and a cloud of smoke filled the room. Char was lying on the ground unconscious. Geodude was half melted and wobbling around too weak to continue fighting. I... your Charmander managed to do THAT?! Brock exclaimed recalling his geodude. I told you I was going to win. Delta grinned while recalling his Pokemon. This isn't over yet. Go Onix! Riley! Lets finish this! The two Pokemon emerged from their Pokeballa in a flash of white light. Onix! Use dig! Brock roared. Riley! Don't let it get underneath you! Confuse it with Dig! Delta countered. The rock snake was halfway underground when Riley began to dig as well. Moments later Onix erupted from the ground where Riley had been. "Onix?!" The rock snake roared annoyed that it's prey had escaped. Riley emerged from underground and sucker punched Onix from beneath. The force tossed Onix over a few feet and Riley landed on its head. Smash into the wall with headbutt! Brock growled frustrated that he had lost his dig attack, and trying to get the fighting type away from hid Onix. Riley now's your chance! Force palm! Delta laughed as he watched Riley smash his Palm into the Rock snakes head. Onix slowed down as it felt the impact of the blow, but it kept heading towards the wall. The entire room shook as Onix smashed into the wall, sending chunks of rock and Riley flying. Riley turned not flinching and gritted its teeth as it thrust a glowing orb towards Onix, who had been damaged by the steel framed wall. Onix watch out! Brock cried as the glowing orb smashed into the rock snake. An explosion of dust surrounded Onix as Brock and Delta stared in confusion, waiting to see the results of the battle. Riley shook in pain as it climbed to its feet on the other side of the room. Riley learned Aura Sphere! As the smoke cleared Delta and Brock both gasped in amazement at the unconscious body of Onix. I... I can't believe it! You actually managed to beat me. I suppose I'm inclined to award you with this, the official pokemon league Boulder badge. Brock sighed pulling the gray badge out of his pocket and handing it to Delta, who took it it greedily. Delta recalled Riley and rushed out of the gym, heading straight for Route 3... Delta obtained the Boulder Badge! Delta put the Boulder Badge in the badge case! |

Route 3: I Shinx it's time for a battle! Delta Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Route 3 was a twisting road that led from Pewter city to the cavernous entrance of mount moon. Leaving the pavement behind him Delta was hiking through the uphill, rocky terrain, waiting to see what kind of mischief he could get into next... Delta had reached one of the many flat stretches of Route 3, this one even included a patch of grassy foliage. Acording to the Habitat list, some pretty awesome Pokemon live around here. Delta mumbled to himself as he scrolled through his Pokédex. "Char!" The lizard Pokemon replied grinning. Delta laughed as he realized that Char was trying to express it's wish to battle some of said Pokemon and grow stronger. Aparently her tie with geodude earlier that morning had gotten to her. Well as some famous guy once said, there's no time like the present. Delta replied spotting a blue outline in the bushes to his left. He pulled out his Pokédex which bleeped and said: Shinx the flash Pokemon: The extension and contraction of its muscles generates electricity. It glows when in trouble. Okay then! Char Scratch attack! Delta cried pointing towards the wild Shinx. "Shinx?!" Shinx replied leaping into the air to avoid Char's claws. Now that it's away from the grass use Ember! Delta remarked remembering the unfortunate incident in Veridian forrest. Shinx began charging power from the static in the air around herself. Char spat a glob of fiery spit towards the charging Pokemon, who had no choice but to take the attack. "Shiii" The pokemon cringed as it finished charging. The little blue Pokemon pointed its tail towards Char and let loose a blast of blue static. The blast of lightning smacked Char square in the chest and the little lizard Pokemon was pushed back a few feet by the blast. Char! Retaliate with ember! Delta commanded, his voice calm and steady, effectively masking his concern in order to not distract his Pokemon. Char nodded and let out another round of fiery saliva. Shinx was expecting it this time and used quick attack to dodge. Seeing that the Pokemon were evenly matched Delta began to shake with excitement as the two Pokemon continued slowly wearing each other down with Thundershock and Ember respectively. It was about a quarter till noon and both Pokemon were showing signs of fatigue. Wild Pokemon had gathered around to watch as Shinx and Charmander continued to duke it out. Char! Use scratch! Delta cried out suddenly breaking the Thundershock, Ember chain. Char rushed forward and swung its claws in for a physical attack and connected with the wild Shinx. The wild Pokemon shuddered and fell onto a knee before struggling to climb back up. One more scratch attack Char! Delta said slowly as if unable to believe that it was almost over. Char quickly swiped at Shinx again and the blue Pokemon collapsed to the ground, defeated. Delta looked at Char, who nodded with approval before pitching a red and white sphere like object towards the barely conscious Shinx. The Pokéball popped open and engulfed Shinx in a brilliant red light before landing on the ground and shaking once... twice... three times... and... |
Gelius Emerald - Route 3 - Razor Wind to the win The boy told me to fight. I was ready but then i saw Gary Clark with a pokeball on the hand. "I got the pokemon i wanted..." Said Gary Clark. "Gotta go! Kadabra use Teleport!" He vanished. "Oh that son of a b****!" The Raticates looked to me and started to center their attack on me. Bubbles appeared in front of me and used Bubblebeam. It knocked out some of them. Then Sludges came in and used Poison Gas. Then he used Sludge Bomb. Some Raticate cried because it was stinking. Leaf was really concentrated. Then he jumped. "Leaf use Razor Wind!" Leaf used his attack, knocking out a lot of the Raticates. "Good job!" I turned around. I talk to the boy. "Hey there. You are the guy from the museum. Sorry if i made you mad. We started with the wrong way. By the way, my name is Gelius." Bubbles and Sludges continued to fight. Leaf needed a rest so i called him back. I remembered that G. Clark left and i didn't got my skateboard back. |
Danica Chandler Pewter Gym Rock It! "Curtis, use Double Team!" "Onix, Sandstorm!" It looked like the first round was a strictly defensive one. Danica's Pokémon created several illusory copies of himself, while the giant snake summoned a sandstorm on the battlefield. Tch, well played, Brock... While Double Team may make him more likely to miss... it will be useless against that sandstorm! Danica thought, I have to strike now! Now, Onix is a Rock/Ground type, so... She smirked, her mind having found the perfect move for her Pokémon to use. "Curtis, Magical Leaf!" Danica commanded. "Onix, Rock Polish!" the Gym leader said. Curtis summoned leafs glowing with a magical aura and sent them all towards the Onix, which just... polished itself. Danica chuckled, as the attack technically would do queadruple damage, yet the snake... stood its ground. It had somehow managed to endure the super-duper-effective hit, and how its rock body looked shinier and lighter. "What?!" Danica screamed, "Curtis, finish it already with another Magical Leaf!" "Onix, Dig!" And before Curtis could launch his attack, Brock's Onix moved at an amazing speed and burrowed under the ground, making the normally accurate Magical Leaf miss. Danica had clearly underestimated Brock, and the Leader hadn't been just trying to intimidate her when they began the battle. It was getting way harder than what she had imagined. Her serious expression changed. She bit her lip, and Brock could see her uneasiness from the other side of the field. Curtis continued to get hit by the seemingly never-ending sandstorm, while awaiting Onix's attack from below. "Now, strike!" Brock commanded, and from below the Ralts the ground began to shake. Danica could tell that Onix was directly under Ralts, the sandstorm making it easier for the Rock-type Pokémon to tell its foe apart from the copies. "Curtis, quick, Teleport!" Just before Onix could strike, Ralts began to glow blue and teleported out of the way, to the other side of the battlefield. Brock smirked. This girl is hasty... but she is not completely clueless after all. "Wow, you're good! I tried to go easy on you, but I guess I've been underestimating you." he said, "Time to go all out now! Come on!" "Humph. Curtis, Magical Leaf, again!" "Onix, Rock Slide! Then Dig!" With its sharply-increased Speed, Onix made a lot of rocks fall from the ceiling all over the battlefield, destroying all Double Team copies of Curtis and making him flinch. Then it dug yet another hole in the ground. Gah, it's too fast... I need to strike as soon as it comes out from underground! Then the ground once again shook below Danica's Pokémon in anticipation. "Curtis, stand your ground! Wait for him to come out!" The ground shook more violently and the Ralts began to get scared. The ground soon made way for the giant snake that came to strike from underneath. "Now, Magical Leaf!" The Grass-typed attack hit Onix right in the head. Curtis flew across the battlefield and landed roughly on the floor. The sandstorm was still going on strong and it was hurting him badly, and Dig had brought his energy to its minimum. The poor little white Pokémon could probably not last much longer in battle. "Impressive, miss Danica. Truly impressive." Brock said calmly, "You sure know what moves to sue to counter my Pokémon. But typing ain't all that matters in Pokémon battles." Danica remained silent. "You see, Sandstorm not only hits all Pokémon that aren't Rock, ground or Steel-type. As an added bonus, it boosts the unaffected Pokémon's defenses." Well, that explains why that Onix is still able to battle after taking two Magical Leaf attacks. Danica thought, And Curtis isn't that good enduring physical attacks... I'm surprised it's still able to hold its ground. "Okay, Onix, enough. Time to finish things off! Onix, use Rock Tomb!" "Curtis, Teleport!" More giant rocks dropped from above, ready to trap the exhausted Ralts under them. Upon colliding with the ground, a cloud of dust was formed around the battlefield. Brock smirked, considering that Ralts was buried under that rubble and was unable to keep battling. However, to his surprise, he saw that Ralts had managed to teleport away just in the nick of time. Danica sighed in relief, but know that the Psychic Pokémon was too tired to pull that trick again. "Onix, Bind!" The snake made its way to the Ralts and wrapped its gigantic body around hi, squeezing what little energy he had left. Danica bit her lip again as her heart pounded with worry and anxiety. Come on, Curtis, you can endure it a little more... she thought, Just hold on until... It appeared that Danica had been cooking up a plan in silence. True, with that Sandstorm, that Onix was sure capable of taking many powerful hits and holding its ground in battle. But she knew something. Sandstorm only lasted for a while, and it was beginning to die down. And with Onix all wrapped around her Ralts, she knew that her next attack could possibly give her the victory. SO, as soon as the sandstorm subsided, the blue-haired girl shouted out her next command. "CURTIS, MAGICAL LEAF, NOW!" Curtis used all the energy he had left to attack Onix with the barrage of leaves. The giant snake was forced to let go of the poor little Pokémon, which collpased on the ground on his knees and struggled to stay standing. Brock's Pokémon began to struggle as well, and one of those Pokémon would go down any minute. Whoever was able to drop last would be the winner. But who would it be? Would it be the Gym Leader who got the victory? Or would Danica Chandler earn her first Badge? Tune in for the next episode! |
Devin and Keia Pewter City - Viridian Forest Keia held her breath, her heart pounding in her ears. Only a moment passed before the ball went still. She let out a short sigh of relief as she darted forward to pick it up before anything else could happen. Harley trotted over to her with her head held high and tail flagged. It wasn’t their first battle, but it was the first time they’d caught a new team member together. Keia grinned and wrapped both arms around her neck. “Yeah, I’m a trainer. I’m from Cinnabar, here to attempt to challenge Brock.” She gave a faintly sheepish smile. “Can’t say I’ve had much experience before all this. But I’m working on that.” Her hand reflexively went to the two filled balls attached to her belt. ***** "I'm sure you'll do fine against Brock! If you have a fighting, grass or water type, you're pretty much set to win that badge. I'm also collecting badges and doing research at the same time about different Pokemon. I am a genius, of course, from Hoenn here to conduct experiments on the ecosystems and differtientiating evolutionary styles of Pokemon and how they might react." Henoticed her hands float towards her Pokeballs. She might be paranoid, or a battler, Devin thought. ***** Keia’s smile grew. “Just caught one, actually. Bit excited to try him out. He wasn’t too pleased about being caught, but to be fair I don’t think I would be either. I might go straight to the gym from here, I dunno. Maybe I’ll go get in a few scraps with wild Pokemon just to get to know him a little better first.” ***** "I gotta go heal up my Pokemon, and maybe take a nap somewhere. I need to train up my Eevee as well if I want to win this battle. I just recently caught my Eevee while I was coming here, on the road. She's quite fluffy, but I am still yet to name her. I think I might want a Vaporeon, but I'm not entirely sure." Devin was happy to see she was smiling and getting comfortable around him. She was a happy and joyous person to have around. ***** She shifted her weight, already glancing toward the door. She liked this guy well enough, he seemed nice. But she had things she needed to be doing and at the moment socializing wasn’t at the top of her list. “Maybe I’ll see you around then. I should probably get moving if I’m ever going to get anywhere with this.” ***** "Im sorry, I shouldn't hold you back. Have fun with your new Pokemon, I'll catch you around." Said Devin as he walked past the girl and headed for the nurse. He healed up his Pokemon, filled up the ever so tedious safety form, and was out on his way. He sought somewhere in Viridian Forest, a forest is a great place to nap and train. He head on out of the Pokemon Center and embraced the fresh, cold air. The inside of a Pokemon Center, not a good place to have dialogue. Devin seemed to have found out the hard way with the stuffy conditions. He headed for Viridian Forest with his hand on his Pokeballs. ***** The cool, clean air helped clear her head as soon as Keia stepped back outside. With a faint smile on her lips she headed back down the road to Viridian Forest. The best choice was definitely to train up a little bit, get some experience, and try out Magic before even attempting the first gym. Now that she thought about it, it might have been a good idea to ask for a battle with the man she’d met at the Pokemon Center, but there was no telling which way he’d gone. Yet as luck would have it she caught sight of him on the path ahead. “Hey! Devin!” She jogged a few steps to catch up with him. “I should’ve asked you earlier, what do you say to a quick match?” ***** While walking through the breezy Pewter City, Devin heard a voice call out to him. It sounded familiar, and when he turned around he saw the (young?) girl jog up to him. She was proposing a battle, Devin wasn’t sure about the outcome but it couldn’t hurt right? Devin looked at her, smiling, and simply stated: “Well sure! Battles are always a good way of getting experience. How about we fight in or near Viridian Forest. I really want to train up some.” Devin said as he got excited. It would be his first trainer battle in Kanto. ***** “I like the idea of battling in the forest. We’ll just need to do it on the path so Harley doesn’t accidentally set anything on fire.” Keia fell into step next to him and stretched her shoulders, trying to look unconcerned. In reality she was very excited and very nervous. This wouldn’t be her first match with someone else, but it would be her first with someone she didn’t know in a completely new area with a new member on her team. She couldn’t be more excited if she tried. “I’ve only got two, so should we make it two Pokemon each, no switches?” She wasn’t entirely familiar with the usual rules, but she did know switches irritated her to no end. As a general rule she preferred to have it so that recalling a Pokemon counted as it losing. ***** Devin was hesitant at the no withdrawals rule, and he didn’t know what this girl was like. Never underestimate an opponent. A golden rule of his. This girl might be a gym leader or part of the Elite Four in another region for all he knew. Yet he couldn’t refuse the offer now, backing down would just make him seem weak. “Sure, whatever rules suits you best. I don't mind any type of additional rules.” said Devin with a nervous chuckle. He stored all his hopes in his two beloved Pokemon, but win or lose, it didn’t matter. He would still care for them. Perhaps his Eevee and Scrafty might pull-through, and maybe not. Losing is half the battle, experience is a quarter, and winning the remainder. ***** Keia saw his hesitation, and more than anything else it was intimidating. It felt like a standard she had to hold up to. Though she may not actually have the skills to deliver, she was certainly going to try. She tried to ignore her racing heart and plucked a ball from her belt. “All right, I’ll choose first.” She understood at least that choosing first set one at a disadvantage, but she felt that it was only fair, considering that she’d issued the challenged and chose the rules. So she took several paces back and threw the ball. Harley materialized from the beam in a wave of heat and smoke. She raised her head and whinnied a challenge, stomping her feet and pacing back and forth with her tail flagged. It seemed that the first little taste of victory had her confidence inflated and she was more than ready to take on this new challenge. And once the smoke and dust had cleared, both of Devin’s Pokemon had fallen and Keia’s stood victorious. The win was a complete shock to her, but she was soaring. She shook Devin’s hand with a broad grin. “Thanks for the great match. We’ll have to do it again sometime when we have fuller teams.” She couldn’t wait around any longer, however. So she bid him goodbye and headed north up the path, back toward Pewter. It was time to challenge the gym. ***** After her unexpected victory Keia was in a euphoric mood. Once she reached Pewter she stopped by the Pokemon Center again to make sure her team was in top condition for her gym battle. Luckily the nurse that had given her all the trouble had ended her shift, and in her place stood a young male nurse. He was attractive enough, with bright hazel eyes and soft dark hair, but it was accurate to say that Keia wasn’t affected by this type matchup. She was polite and friendly to him, but when she left her legs were steady and she hadn’t stuttered a single syllable. So when she approached the gym she eyed the building with some measure of confidence. It stood taller than any other building in the city. The walls had been crafted to mimic a craggy cliffside and the pillars that held up the awning were beautifully carved from what looked like a single piece of rock. Keia was impressed, but still not intimidated. She was used to large imposing buildings; it was widely agreed upon that Blaine had the most intimidating, dramatic setup of any gym leader in Kanto. The double doors opened automatically for her as she drew near. Her eyes took a moment to adjust as the bright afternoon sunlight gave way to the dimmer lighting inside. If the outside had looked like a rugged cliff, the interior looked like the valley between two imposing mountains. The walls were roughly hewn to look like a rock face weathered by years of exposure to the elements. The battlefield had the lines as dictated by the Pokemon League rules, with the semicircles on either end for the trainers to stand in and the line halfway through to denote which side was which. Maybe Keia started to feel a little anxious, but she wasn’t about to back down now. “Challenger!” The strong male voice carried to her from the far end of the building. The leader came into view as he went around the side of a rocky outcropping in the wall. Keia looked him up and down, seizing him up. He looked young, most likely around her age. A shock of dark brown hair stood up in all directions atop his head. Altogether he looked a little rough, more in the sense that he’d trained hard all day rather than not taking care of himself. Keia stopped at her end of the battlefield. Now her heart began to pound in her ears as the reality of the situation hit her. “Tell me, how many Pokemon do you have and what are their evolutionary levels?” Keia cleared her throat before trying to answer. “I have two basic Pokemon.” Brock opened his vest and plucked out two balls from the rows upon rows sewn into the lining. “Two Pokemon each. No switches. Recall counts as a loss for that Pokemon. I will choose first. Do you understand the rules?” “Yes, I understand.” Her hands shook as she pulled her first ball off her belt. She knew exactly who she would be using. Still she waited for Brock to take his place at the opposite end of the battlefield and send out his first Pokemon. The leader silently tossed the ball onto the field. A Geodude emerged with a roar and knocked his fists together in a threatening display. This was a Pokemon that probably saw at least a battle a day, and he looked like it too. But it was too late now to back down. Keia threw her ball and Magic materialized from the beam of light. “Challenger gets the first move!” Keia nodded and glanced back and forth from the Geodude to Magic. It took her only a moment before the right move came to her. “Magic, use Leech Seed.” The Shroomish didn’t exactly rush to obey her, but still he did as she asked. He waddled closer and chunked a barrage of seeds at his opponent. They embedded in the Geodude’s body and began sapping his energy. For now, all that served to do was make him mad. He growled and looked to Brock with trusting eyes. “Hang in there Geodude. Defense Curl!” Geodude curled up and crossed his arms over his face. He remained like that while Magic made his move. “Absorb.” He threw out viney tendrils and sunk them into Geodude. They sucked out a sizeable chunk of his energy, coupled with the seeds still embedded in him. The type advantage made it so that Magic was coming out well ahead, but Geodude still had some fight left in him. He already knew what Brock wanted without even having to ask. Without uncurling he launched himself at Magic, rolling across the rugged battlefield to slam into him. He bounced against Magic’s soft body, causing the little mushroom to stumble back and fall on his butt. The attack served mainly just to irritate him. He struggled to his feet and bounced on his feet, ready to put everything he had into this fight. “You’re doing awesome, Magic. Absorb again, finish him!” Again Magic shot out tendrils of vine and sapped strength from his opponent. Geodude couldn’t pretend to be so tough this time. He groaned and struggled to stay alert. The seeds took enough to leave him shuddering and woozy. “It’s not over yet, Geodude. Rollout.” Obediently he launched into action. He gathered up more speed this time and hit Magic with greater force. Magic was thrown back a few feet and he landed on his head. If he’d been angry before, he was livid now. He righted himself with some difficulty and looked back to Keia for directions. Her heart fluttered; he was actually showing trust in her. She hoped that wouldn’t fade after the heat of the battle. “One more time, Magic. Absorb!” With this one last move this fight was won. The last of Geodude’s energy was drained and it slumped on the field, groaning and trying to right itself so it could keep fighting. Brock called him back with a nod of respect. “Great job, Geodude. Come on back.” He threw the next ball and a strange Pokemon came out. It looked like a tree, yet it couldn't be Grass type. She didn’t have to wonder about her species long. “Sudowoodo, start off with Mimic.” She struck a pose, moving in a strange and jerky fashion as she copied one of Magic’s moves. They wouldn’t know what until her next move. That made Keia a little nervous, but that just meant she needed to finish this fast. “Stun Spore. Don’t let her get moving on us.” Magic shot a cloud of yellow spores from the pores atop his head. They settled onto Sudowoodo’s body and filled her lungs as she took in a breath. She froze in place, shuddering as she tried to move. “Hang in there, Sudowoodo. Use the Mimic move.” She was barely able to struggle through her paralysis and unleash a cloud of spores back at Magic. They coated his soft body, but he shook them off like it was nothing. In that moment Keia was immeasurably grateful that Stun Spore didn’t affect Grass types. She let out a sigh of relief. “Good job, Magic. Leech Seed.” Like he had on her teammate, Magic embedded a barrage of seeds in Sudowoodo’s body. Things were looking bad for Brock, and he knew it. He furrowed his brow as he tried to figure out how to pull out of this nosedive. “It’s not over yet. Rock Throw!” Sudowoodo moved slowly and with great effort as she hurled a horde of rocks at Magic. They hit him hard and hurt him more than anything else had thus far. He cried out and scuttled closer to Keia. “You’re doing great. Absorb.” Magic stole as much of Sudowoodo’s energy as he could, with a little extra added from the seeds. “Good. Hit him with Flail.” She did her best, but this time Sudowoodo just couldn’t pull through her paralysis. She shook as she stayed right where she was. Keia hoped this would be the last move. She still had one more Pokemon left, but she knew Harley wouldn’t have the advantage Magic did. “Let’s finish this. Absorb.” Magic did as she bid, and though he took another sizeable chunk of her strength Sudowoodo was just barely able to keep standing. Brock would not give up. “You’re doing great. Try Flail again.” This time Sudowoodo was able to wrench herself into motion. She launched herself at Magic and hit him with all her strength. The power behind the move was unexpected, and it was more than enough to throw Magic back well behind Keia. He lay there shivering and unable to get to his feet. Maybe he’d be able to struggle through with a little more time to catch his wind, but Keia wasn’t going to let him be pulverized. “You did so good, Magic. Come on home.” He went back into his ball to rest. Keia’s palm were sweaty as she threw her last Pokeball onto the field. Always one for dramatic entrances, Harley appeared in a plume of smoke and flame. A small smirk appeared on Brock’s face and Keia knew to be cautious. He had something up his sleeve. “We gotta finish this quick, Harley. Use…” She paused. What was she supposed to do? Fire types had a disadvantage against Rock, and she knew they could often use Ground type moves. If Brock were to do that it would be lights out for Harley. She wracked her brain, and a light bulb flickered on over her head. Devin had said Brock would be a breeze if she had a Grass or Fighting type. Harley had one Fighting type move, and it was time to try it. “Use Low Kick. Make it count!” Harley whinnied gleefully and crossed the field in a few great strides. As soon as she was close enough she turned, bucked up, and slammed both back hooves into Sudowoodo’s lower body. The Rock Pokemon let out a heaving breath and fell to her knees. Rather than forcing her to go on trying Brock called her back into her Pokeball. With both his Pokemon fainted, Brock had to admit defeat. |

Part 5: Gym Battle Lilliana http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/PikaBot/Icons/Fairy%20Tail/Batch%2005/wendy-02.png Spoiler:
Lilliana brushed a strand of her blue hair out of her eyes as she stared nervously at the doors in front of her. After healing her Pokemon up at the Pokemon Center and buying some more pokeballs and potions she had headed to the gym and her she was. Standing still for more than five minutes to nervous to move. What if I can't do this? she thought her hands gripping the skirt of her yellow and blue dress. Taking a deep breath she looked down for a minute thinking more If Alex was here he'd be encouraging me. I want to be a contest star but I'm winning these badges for him. she looked up a determined look forming on her young face. "I can do this" She said a smile forming as she opened the doors and stepped inside the gym coming face to face with a man with tanned skin and spiky brown hair. "Finally I was wondering if you were ever going to come inside Kid" The man smiled at her. "My names Brock and I'm the leader here, I'm guessing your here to challenge me right?" Lilliana took a deep breath her nerves back slightly but spoke with a firm voice. "That's right, my names Lilliana" she smiled and giggled starting to feel a bit better. "and I'm here to play" she pulled Alex's pokeball from her bag. "I like the way you think Lilliana" Brock laughed and led her to the battlefield a room filled with rock and stone. "How many Pokemon do you have kid?" "Just two" Lilliana said pulling out her other Pokeball. "What kind of battle style are we going to use?" "Single battle with two Pokemon, no switches no items that alright with you?" Brock asked grabbing two pokeballs from his vest. Tossing one in the air Lilliana watched as a Roggenrola appeared in front of her. "You get the first move." "Go Alex" Lilliana smiled tossing her pokeball up into the air and watching as her Vulpix appeared in front of her. Not necessarily the best choice, Aria had the advantage but if Alex could deal some damage to Brock's first Pokemon Aria would have a better shot. "Use Feint Attack!" Lilliana called out and watched as Alex ran quickly to the left of Brock's Pokemon. "Roggenrola dodge it" Brock called out as Alex suddenly disappeared from view. Roggenrola jumped to the right and suddenly cried out as Alex appeared from nowhere slamming into it. "Very sneaky kid now its my turn." Brock smiled at her "Roggenrola use Headbutt!". The Roggenrola turned towards Alex and ran forward before jumping and slamming its head into him. "Vul!" Lilliana clenched her hand into a fist as she heard her Pokemon cry out in pain. "Its okay Alex, now use Will-O-Wisp" she called out gently watching Alex get back to his feet and glare at Brock's Pokemon opening his mouth and blue fire is visible, shooting out of Alex's mouth it hit the Roggenrola dead on doing some damage but not much. "Fire won't work against my rock types kid" Brock called out to his Pokemon telling it to use Smack Down. "Dodge it Alex!" Lilliana cried out watching as an orb glowing metallic gold formed and fired at Alex. She watched it appearing to her to happen in slow motion as her Pokemon tried to dodge but the orb still slammed into him exploding and throwing him into the air when he hit the ground he fainted. "Alex come back" she called her fainted Pokemon back into his Pokeball sadly. "Now Aria you can do this" she called out her trusted Marill. "Rain dance Aria" she ordered watching as Aria moved through the steps of the dance rain clouds forming before rain started to fall on the battlefield. "Use Sand Attack" Brock called out quickly as the rain started to fall and Roggenrola quickly kicked up sand towards Aria but the rain caused the sand to wash right off. "Great Aria now use Bubble Beam!" Lilliana called out her spirits lifting as rain fell on the two Pokemon. Aria opened her mouth and fired white bubbles at Brock's Pokemon who tried to dodge to no avail the attack hitting and causing the Pokemon to faint. "Nice Kid lets see how this goes" Brock called back his first Pokemon and sent out a Geodude. "Geodude use Rock Throw!" he called out watching the Pokemon punch the ground causing rocks to fly in all directions some hitting Aria causing her to cry out. Other rocks flew a bit fair a couple passing closely by Lilliana causing her to cry out in alarm. "You alright Lilliana?!" "I'm fine just startled me" Lilliana smiled at Brock before looking at Aria "Use Aqua Ring Aria" she watched beautiful blue rings forming around Aria before disappearing leaving the Marill looking refreshed. "This is a great battle Kid" Brock said before telling Geodude to use Rollout. As the Geodude rolled towards Aria, Lilliana got an idea. "Aria jump up and use Aqua Tail. In three, two, one. Now!" she cried out Aria jumping up right before Geodude could hit her. Water formed around her tail and as she fell she slashed her tail against the Geodude making it let out a cry. "Smart strategy, but leaves you open to my next attack, Geodude use Magnitude." The rock type hit the ground hard causing the eart the rumble knocking Aria over the rumbles nearly knocking Lilliana over as well. "Now Aria Ice Beam" she called out as dust started to form. A ball of light blue light formed in front of Aria's mouth an fired at Geodude just as the dust covered the two Pokemon. A cry was heard but until the dust settled they couldn't see what had happened. |
Route 3: Youngster Joey would like to battle! Delta Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Click! Delta grinned as he walked over to the Pokéball and picked it up. Inside the semi transparent top he could see a shrunken version of Shinx looking back at him. Your going to need a name... Delta muttered to himself as he let Shinx out of her pokéball. The new Pokémon glanced at Riley and Chat cautiously, not knowing what to expect. Hmmm... Shinx, Luxio, Luxury... Lux is light. Aha! A light in the darkness! Hope! That's your name! Delta exclaimed after a moment. Hope had walked over to Riley, who was stroking her fur, causing her to purr. Char was walking around shaking with excitement. What she was excited about became apparent as a young boy with black hair came to a stop about twenty feet away. Are you Zane Kemon? The boy asked, tall grass up to the bottom of his shorts. I don't Care what anybody says. That does not look comfortable or easy to wear. Delta thought to himself as he eyed the boys raggedy clothes. Indeed. Who is asking? Delta replied after a moment. I have a letter from a mister... uh... all it says is Steven?" Delta's ears caught the name of his mentor and he rushed over and snatchef the letter out of the boys hand. Hey what's with the funny looking Charmander? The boy asked. Delta stopped and threw himself against the boy knocking him out of the way as a blast of fire flew into the ground where he had been standing. The blast exploded as it touched the ground and scattered embers around it. Char learned flame burst! Delta climbed off the ground and scowled as he realized that his designer shirt he had imported from Kalos was ruined. S-sorry! The boy yelped as he got to his feet. She's a little sensitive about that... Delta sighed pointing to his singed eyebrows. How'd you get Steven's letter anyway? Delta asked after a moment. Well... my names Joey and I live in Pallet town. My dad is the postman see, and the letter was addressed to the professor's lab. So when the professor told my dad that you had left, my dad called me up on my Pokégear and asked me to find you here. The Pokédex has GPS or something... say wanna batyle? My Rattata is in the top percentage of all Rattata. Joey rambled. Delta was itching to read the letter from Steven, but he knew that it was impossible to say no to a trainer battle. That and he really wanted to beat the snit out of the kid for making him ruin his shirt. Go! Rattata! Joey called as he tossed a Pokéball towards Delta. Delta glanced at his Pokémon and realized that only Riley had enough strength to battle. Riley! Aura Sphere! Delta ordered. Riley leaped up and shot a blast of glowing energy towards the Rattata. Dodge it Rattata... what the?! Delta shook his head as he watched the orb curve and continue heading for Rattata. Delta frowned as he saw the little rat Pokémon was already down. Hey kid, I don't think it's wise to throw your Pokémon into battles where they have a severe disadvantage. Riolu is a fighting type, and on top of that, Aura Sphere was also a fighting type move. So unless you want to get your Rattata killed, I suggest you go back to Pewter city and train in the gym. Once you've got some gym badges, maybe we'll battle again and it might actually be a challenge for me. Delta chuckled and tossed Joey the bottle of fresh water. I'm going to get all eight badges, then I'll become the champion!" Joey replied happily as he and his Rattata headed back down the path to Pewter city. Keep dreaming kid. I'm going to be champion. Delta replied as he pulled Stevens letter out of his pocket. Delta. I have located the whereabouts of three key stones, from what the mega-radar, a device used to pinpoint the locations of the strange energy emitted by Mega Stones during Mega Evolution, has detected is that three different key stones have recently been activated in the Kanto region. Whom has control of these key stones is unknown to me, but they apear to be located in Veridian, cinnabar, and Fuchsia respectively. In light of this discovery, I have decided to send two of my other students to Kanto as well. Beta, and Gamma are both to arrive in Vermilion city soon. They will both be your Rivals in this Mega hunt. Cheers, Steven Stone, Mossdeep city, Hoenn. Delta frowned. Steven had not only sent more trainers to Kanto, he had also said that three had already unearthed the powerful mega stones and used them. Guys... we seriously need to pick up the pace. Delta growled and began running towards mount moon, not wanting to be without a key stone for any longer |
Danica Chandler Pewter City Route 3 Preparations! The first one to fall was Brock's Onix. The Gym Leader reacalled his Pokémon, and Curtis collapsed on the rocky floor shortly afterwards. Danica walked over to it and picked it up as if it were a baby, and gently caressed his pale skin. "You did well, Curtis. Very well." she whispered, "Now it's time for you to rest for a while." Holding the Psychic Pokémon with her left arm, she grabbed a Pokéball with her other one and sent the tired Curtis inside. She put the Pokéball away on her hoodie pocket and Brock approached her. "I took you for granted, and so I lost. As proof of your victory, I confer on you this...the official Pokémon League Boulder Badge." he said, and handed over the Badge to Danica. With a faint smile, Danica grabbed it and placed it on the shirt she had under her hoodie. "Just having the Boulder Badge makes your Pokémon more powerful." the Gym Leader added. "I really enjoyed our battle, Danica. You know, there are all kind of Trainers in this huge world of ours. You appear to be a very gifted one. So let me make a suggestion. Go to the Gym in Cerulean and test your abilities." "...Okay" Danica said. "If you want to get there, you should go east of here, to Route 3, then get through Mt. Moon. It's the shortest way." Brock said, "Good luck on your journey." "...Thanks." Danica said, and left the Gym. She tried to keep on putting that serious face she usually has, but the joy of having won a Gym Badge was just unable to contain. She walked to the Pokémon Center with a smile on her face. Once there, she handed over the Pokéball containing Curtis to the receptionist and, while waiting for him to be fully healed, decided to take out her Pokégear and give someone a call. Beep... Beep... Beep... "Hello? Dani?" the other voice said, "Is that you? How are things going?" "Hey, Brian. It's all good." Danica said, "I'm at Pewter City, got a Badge, and I'm waiting for Curtis to get fully healed so I can get to Cerulean City." "Wow, congratulations! You're really something, sis!" Brian said, "I was worried that Viridian Forest was going to be too much for you to handle, because of... well, doesn't matter! Congrats!" Danica sighed, "Yeah... Anyway, how are things at home?" "Eh, it's been kind of hectic since you left. Mom and Dad are off in some other Region, in yet another romantic getaway, and it hasn't been easy." Brian said. "Typical of them. So typical." Danica said, shaking her head. "Anyway, luckily Ritchie's more like you and I so he helps around, and I'm really happy about that." "That's great. Aw, I wish I could come back home." "Nonsense. You need this, sis." Brian replied, "Ritchie and I can handle being on our own. It's always been the three of us, so it's gonna take a while to get used to things, but don't worry! You focus on getting to Cerulean City! I believe there is a Gym there?" "Yeah... Thanks for looking after Ritchie and the house." Danica said, "I just wish Mom and Dad would be more, you know, parent-like." "I know, sis. But, you can't do much about it, can you?" Brian said and chuckled, "I gotta go now, I'll let you get back to business. Good luck and take care!" "Bye, Brian! You too! Say hi to Ritchie for me!" Danica said. "Will do, buh-bye!" Brian said, and then Danica hung up. I sure miss them... she said to herself, But he's right, I need this. Time to get going! After that she got her Pokémon back from the receptionist and walked out. Next stop, Pokémart. She needed to get some food and other stuff for the other part of her journey. Once she had everything ready, it would be time to go east, to Route 3! To Be Continued... |

Mount Moon is a not too high mountain range that stands between Pewter City and Cerulean City, connected to Route 3 in the west and Route 4 in the east. Climbing does not seem to be possible; to get past it, travelers always need to travel through the caves. It is a mystical mountain that is known for its frequent meteor falls. Some evolution stones, mainly Moon Stones, can be found still for those who search closely. (you can find any number of evolution stones, but it's advised that you don't go overboard. Keep it real, yo! You can always travel back to Mt Moon later on in the RP if you realize that you need a particular stone ;) Or trade with another player who has one!) Trainers usually encountered here include hikers, scientists and archeologists.

Gelius Emerald - Route 3/ Mount Moon - Burglars Damien ignored my idea as tour guide. Oh well, time to get the skateboard back. I was entering the cave when i a group of Zubats and a Golbat came flying. I just screamed. But then i got back on my way. ******************** I entered the cave. It was dark as i remember (Yeah because i needed to go trough here to reach Pewter). I trip on a rock. "Ouch! Stupid rock!" Then i notice that is a Leaf Stone. "Maybe it's not that stupid." I get up and pick up the Leaf Stone. I put my Leaf Stone on the bag. I keep walking. On a corner, i hear something. A battle. I look at it. It's Gray Clark again. I hear them. "Kid don't resist! We will bury you alive!" Said the guy with the Golbat. "3 vs 1? Not fair... For you! Kadabra Confusion, Pidgeotto Gust, Croconaw Water Gun!" Gary Clark commanded. His Pokemon had beat the three trainers. Golbat, Graveler and Raticate are down. 'He is getting better on battling. But i will beat him.' I thought. Then 3 other guys appear behind me. I could recognize them now. They were wearing black and had an R on the shirt. Sh*t i was noticed. "They noticed you huh? It's better you take them down before they bury you alive." Said G. Clark while leaving. "Oh here is your useless Skateboard." He threw the broken skateboard at me. I was so mad now! He left me here alone with these guys and broke my skateboard. "Koffing go for a Tackle!" Said one guy. "Ekans Bite!" Said another. "Arbok use Poison Fang!" Said the one that looked slightly different than the others. Maybe he was more respected. "Oh no you don't! Leaf and Sludges come to help! Sludges use Mud Bomb on Arbok! Bubbles use Bubblebeam on Koffing! Leaf start to charge your move!" I said. The Bubblebeam hit the Koffing and Mud Bomb hit Arbok. Koffing was down, but Arbok still was up. "Ekans use Poison Sting!" Said one. "Arbok use Venoshock!" Said the other. Ekans used Poison Sting but Leaf evaded and then used Razor Wind, knocking out Ekans. Arbok tried to use Venoshock on Sludges and Bubbles. Bubbles was badly hurt. But Sludges kept up. I returned Bubbles and, to not cause so many injuries, Leaf. Sludges vs Arbok. It's gonna be hard. Sludges tried a Mud Bomb, but Arbok evaded every Mud Bomb. Arbok tried an Venoshock but Sludges wasn't affected. When Arbok was about to attack with an Iron Tail, but Sludges evaded it by an unusual way... Getting smaller. Sludges learned Minimize! Sludges then used Mud Bomb, making a direct hit on Arbok, fainting it. "Next time we will get you!" Said the Arbok guy running away leaving the others unconscious or not able to battle. I took an Antidote from my bag, sent out Bubbles and cured his Poison. I withdrew Sludges and put asleep the guys who attacked me (as well as the ones who attacked G. Clark) with Hypnosis. Bubbles and i continued. |

Pewter City, Pokemon Center http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/714.pnghttp://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/004.png Gideon Arc Gideon stared pass the bright cream column. It was sturdy and edgy, shaped just like a block in his opinion. But that was just a short sighted thought. It was a bit weird how everything had turned out to him. Straight out of Pallet Town, fresh with a new Charmander from the professor, and of course; he was doing poor. The cool Charmander: Crimson, was too relaxed in battle; it often scoffed at its opponents, leaving itself open for attack. |
Mauve Banzett Well Needed Rest Spoiler:
Pokemon Center After a trek that seemed endless, Mauve and Raze had finally made it to the Pokemon Center that sat next to Mt. Moon's entrance. The young trainer thrust a fist into the air, growing a big grin and giving a hearty, "Huzzah, huzzah! We finally made it to the Pokemon Center, dear Raze! That sure was a long walk... anyway, you and the other Pokemon need some rest before we enter Mt. Moon. Let's hurry!" Raze cooed happily as Mauve dashed towards the center. The doors opened swiftly, but didn't alarm the Nurse Joy at her desk. "Well hello there. Can I help you with anything?" Mauve, gasping and catching his breath as he reached the counter, muttered back with, "U-Uh... yes. Could you... ugh... Take a look at my Pokemon?" Nurse Joy giggled, and nodded. "Absolutely. I'll help your Pokemon recover while YOU recover, young man." She said this with a wink, and Mauve simply blushed in embarrassment. After returning Raze, he gave her his three occupied Pokeballs. She placed them on the tray and gave them to her aide, Chansey. Turning to Mauve, she explained to him, "There are separate rooms for trainers like yourself. I'll hold onto your Pokemon for you until you are ready. Mt. Moon is a bit rough for new trainers, so make sure you're prepared. Rest well!" Then, Nurse Joy went back to her treatment room with her trusted Chansey. Mauve slowly made his way to the trainer quarters, and made himself comfortable in a vacant room. With a sigh, he sat down on the comfortable bed and sat his bag next to him. However... he couldn't rest. Not yet. Opening his bag, he looked through his belongings to begin his little "ritual." "Now... to add Jinzo to my roster... Oh, which book was it?" He flipped through the books of Pokemon he had with him, featuring small but helpful bits of information on many Pokemon found in the Kanto region. After a little digging, andgrabbing his beloved black pen, he pulled out a Psychic-type booklet. He flipped through the pages, until he came across the section covering Baltoy and it's evolved form, Claydol. "Ah, yes, here it is! Baltoy...A very interesting Pokemon, indeed. With moves like Cosmic Power, Earth Power... and Heal Block as well, it could be a very good ally. Now, for the notes...." Mauve then slipped out the notebook containing information he felt necessary for each Pokemon he caught and raised, he began to take notes of Baltoy and it's evolved form, including it's Levitate ability, the moves Mauve thought of teaching Jinzo, and various care and feeding procedures. He wrote and noted again, again and again once more. Lastly, he scanned the approximate "level" of when Baltoy would evolve. A quick jot of the final tidbit, and Mauve fell back onto the bed, closing his eyes and finally allowed himself to slip into a well deserved sleep. Raze, Huff 'n Puff and Jinzo rested on three separate beds. The Pokemon seemed to be resting, waiting for Nurse Joy as Chansey checked up on the three. Raze was already cleared and ready for restoration patiently. Huff 'n Puff, however, was currently having his temperature taken. Chansey waited for a minute, then took back the thermometer. She smiled and nodded, giving the Koffing a sweet assuring, "Chansey, Chansey!" Huff 'n Puff simply blushed and turned the other way. He was definitely bashful when it came to Pokemon of the opposite gender. Chansey smiled, and made her way to Jinzo. It seemed to be lifeless, but gave a wave of it's arm, and a curious look after seeing the thermometer. Chansey realized that Pokemon like Baltoy don't take temperatures normally. She called out to Nurse joy, while stroking the Clay Doll Pokemon across the head. Baltoy looked up at the Egg Pokemon. "Oh, sorry Chansey! I forgot to give you the implement to check on Baltoy. Don't worry, I can take over." Nurse Joy walked back in with her supplies. Jinzo turned his attention to Nurse Joy, and greeted her with a, "Bal-toy, Bal-tooyy!" Nurse Joy looked back and smiled warmly. "Well hello there, little one. Mind if I take your temperature?" She placed a soft, gentle hand onto Baltoy's head. She could tell that the trainer who caught this Baltoy JUST caught it, but still tidied him up, if only a bit. And, feeling no irregularities, she stepped back and grabbed three doses of medicine. "Alright then. Chansey, would you give the Pokemon their medicine? I have some others to tend to." Chansey nodded, and took the doses. She started with Raze, who sipped it slowly. Huff 'n Puff had to be fed the medicine, but sipped it as well. Jinzo, however, had a spray to be made especially for itself. Administering the spray, she gently rubbed it across Jinzo, especially across his head. It gave a happy sound, relaxing into the medicine's effect. Chansey nodded, and was just about to call Joy back into the room until she appeared with Mauve's Pokeballs. Raze, Huff 'n Puff and Jinzo shortly sat themselves up to meet Nurse Joy. "Alright, you three, now your trainer is taking a rest right now. However, he'll pick you up once he wakes. Is everyone feeling much better?" She was met with happy replies of affirmation. With another warm smile, she said, "Good! Now, return and rest well!" Raze and Huff 'n Puff returned, but before Jinzo followed suit, he hopped of the bed, and gave a big hug to Chansey and Nurse Joy. She smiled and said with a giggle, "Well, aren't you a sweet heart? You're very welcome, Jinzo. Your trainer is very lucky to have a Baltoy like you." The Clay Doll Pokemon hopped back and nodded, ready to return. "Return, little Jinzo," Joy called as the Pokeball beamed Jinzo back inside. She grabbed the tray, put the Pokeballs on and sent Chansey to set them at the waiting table while Mauve slept. |

Danica Chandler Exiting Pewter City All Revved Up and Ready to Go! Danica exited the PokéMart, with an aura of determination emanating from her. Brock had said that the Boulder Badge would make her Pokémon more powerful, but could it be making her feel more powerful as well? Or was it the nice feeling of being on top of the world that en ego boost can provide? Anyway, having purchased 5 Pokéballs, 10 Antidotes and 10 Potions, she was all set up to head on east. Route 3, here we go... Before she left the city, she took a quick look around. That blonde guy who had challenged her to a battle -and humiliated her in a way- was nowhere to be found. Without thinking of where he could be, she took the opportunity to make a run for it, just in case the dude was on his way back from some kind of break (as if it was his job to just stand there). Soon the city looked like a scale model of where Danica had just been, and mountains surrounded the blue-haired girl. She inhaled deeply and exhaled with a content sigh. The air in the mountains was something else. It was truly delicious, and made her feel more filled with energy than before. She felt like a goddess, and nothing could bring her down from her throne... apparently. A huge wave of terror was about to envelop Danica and bring her down from the hill she had climbed and claimed as hers. Some wild Pokémon there were moving on with their daily lives, and, to her dismay, she could recognise them as Ekans, Nidoran, and a random Gulpin that appeared to be looking around for something to eat. She was completely oblivious to the other Pokémon that moved around there, in her mind, only Poison-type Pokémon were there. Her face turned pale and she began to bite her lower lip. Then, something poked her back, and she let out a blood-curdling scream, as if she was being stabbed by a vicious Nidorino. However, the one who poked her was only a playful Skiddo, who immediately felt sad about wanting to play with this seemingly crazy girl, and began to cry. Danica snapped out of her fear trip and turned around. The poor goat-like Pokémon looked miserable and was... so freaking cute! And it didn't look like it was the dangerous type at all! She slowly approached it and began to pet it. "I'm... sorry. You just startled me." she said awkwardly, "I was scared of some Pokémon I saw... Don't be sad. It's okay." The wild Skiddo immediately stopped crying and smiled at Danica. This guy's so cute! It's a great thing that I bought some Pokéballs! Teehee! Danica thought. Skiddo was given his joyful spirit back and began to run around Danica, as if it wanted to show her it wanted to play. Danica smirked and grabbed the Pokéball containing Curtis, and let him out. His red horn began to pick up joy, and he smiled. It was nice for him to sense some feelings of joy and warmth for a change. "So, um, well... I have to cross this mountain... Do you, um, want to join me?" the girl asked. Skiddo then moved its head, as if telling Danica to hop on its back. Danica picked Curtis up and placed him on the wild Pokémon's back, then hopped on there herself. As soon as she grabbed the horns, the Skiddo began to feel the uneasiness that the blue-haired girl was feeling. With a giggle-like sound, it suddenly dashed off towards a clearing, with a screaming Danica begging it to stop. The wild Skiddo stopped as soon as they reached the clearing, and Danica hastily got off it, and took Curtis with her. The goat-like Pokémon ran around and took a playful stance, and to Danica it looked like it wanted to battle. Still wondering why it had taken her there, she accepted the Skiddo's challenge and called Curtis forward. "Curtis, use Magical Leaf!" she said. Curtis used the same attack used to defeat Brock's Onix, but it didn't seem to do much damage. The wild Skiddo then used Razor Leaf, firing a barrage of leaves at Curtis that he couldn't dodge. Hmm... Leaves on the body, a Grass-type move... Curtis' move barely did anything... A-ha! This fella must be a Grass-type! "Curtis, Disarming Voice!" Danica shouted. Curtis began to let out a cry that, somehow, appeared to deal damage to the playful opponent. In retaliation, charged at the Ralts and attacked with a Tackle. Danica then told Curtis to use Confusion. Her Pokémon used psychic powers to knock Skiddo over in a similar way. Skiddo then used Razor Leaf again, hitting Curtis with yet another barrage of sharp leaves. Hmm, a strong one. That's it! I'm so catching this Pokémon! But I need to weaken it a little bit more... "Curtis, Confusion, one more time!" she commanded, "Give it all you got!" Once again, Curtis used his powers to knock his opponent over, only that this time more violently. The Skiddo got up, but appeared to be a little dizzy from the attack. It then took out two vines from its body and attempted to use Vine Whip and, although it managed to attack Curtis once, it accidentally slapped itself with it. Danica saw this as a chance to seal the deal and add another member to her team. She took an empty Pokéball from her bag and threw it at the wild Skiddo. A red light enveloped it and the ball began to shake as the Pokémon attempted to break free. It shook and shook, and Danica could do nothign but stare anxiously, waiting for a click. |

Keia MacBeth Pewter City - Route 3 "Quite a Shock" http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/077.gif http://pldh.net/media/pokemon/gen6/xy-animated/285.gif Harley | Magic Keia whistled and Harley trotted back to her with her tail flagged and a sassy spring to her step. She came to rest at her partner’s side, and Keia rested a hand on her neck. “You did well, challenger,” Brock conceded. “I will say this. In the future, do not rely on type advantages to win a battle. There are eighteen discovered Pokemon types. You will not always have a partner that can gain the upper hand. You need to learn to rely on strategy and skill rather than types.” The advice was welcome, though it brought her down a bit from the high of winning. “Thank you. I’ll remember that.” He nodded and turned, heading to the back of the building to a locked display case. He retrieved the key from his pocket and opened it so that he could pick out an octagonal grey badge, nestled in a pocket-sized case with seven more empty slots. “For your victory I award you the Boulder Badge. You can take this case with you to contain your future badges.” Brock returned to the battlefield and crossed it to give it to her. Keia accepted it with a nod. She would have offered another expression of gratitude, but he was already turning around. “Good luck in your future travels.” ***** After catching a new partner, a trainer battle, and a gym battle Keia was ready to take the rest of the day off. She checked back into the Pokemon Center and spent the evening in her room ordering room service, winding down with a cigarette or two, and getting to know Magic. The fight with Brock seemed to have convinced him Keia wasn’t so bad, and for that she was grateful. She discovered that he loved salads, but only if they were left to wilt for a few hours and had no cheese or croutons. Dressing was fine, and raspberry vinaigrette was his favorite. He didn’t like his head touched, but he liked his feet played with and he liked to play bite. His grumpy little frown would never fade; the only way to tell how he was feeling was the way he held the protrusions atop his head. Her sketchbook grew fat with sketches of the Shroomish by the time she went to bed. The next morning she rose early. She’d had breakfast, packed up, and hit the road by eight. Harley gamboled along next to her, bucking and playing in the morning chill. It seemed that her new favorite game was blowing smoke and steam out of her nostrils and trying to catch it in her mouth. Keia looked at her sideways, a mildly exasperated smile curving her lips. “You’re a big baby, you know that?” Harley whinnied gleefully and cantered ahead. “Don’t go too far!” She kicked up her back hooves, which Keia could only hope was a sign that she was listening. She kept a close eye on her as they crossed the Pewter City limits and passed into Route 3. The city gave way to a smooth road peppered with pebbles and boulders that had broken off of the mountain. These only served as a playground for Harley. She made it a personal challenge to climb onto every boulder she passed and kick a rock into dust here and there. Keia watched through the corner of her eye, only halfway paying attention until Harley disappeared behind a boulder followed by an ear-splitting screech and a staticky crackle. The Ponyta snorted in surprise and backed up swiftly into view, chased by a blue feline not even knee-high to her. “Harley!” Keia was more irritated than anything else as her first instinct was to avoid confrontation. But at a second glance the little cat was cute. She recognized it as a Shinx, a member of the species that her aunt had kept as a housepet. And she knew personally that though they were cute they could pack quite a punch. “Stand your ground! Draw it in closer to me and hit it with a Stomp.” Harley switched from play to battle mode. As instructed she retreated further to bring the Shinx closer to Keia and as soon as it was in the right range she charged at it and stomped it with one front hoof. The little cat hissed and darted back, its fur crackling with electricity. The crackle rose in intensity until it was glowing with energy as it charged up. “Don’t give it the chance to attack. Use Flame Wheel!” Before it could discharge the electricity it was storing up Harley reared up and engulfed herself in flame. When she came down the fire detached from her body and shot toward the Shinx. It lost some of its intensity along the way so that when it hit it, it was little more than hot air and embers. That was just fine; Keia didn’t want Harley attacking at full strength and knocking it out. Its whiskers were singed and smoke rose from its fur as it yowled and discharged the energy in a Spark. Harley shuddered and cried out and for one tense moment Keia was afraid she would be paralyzed. But then the sparks subsided and Harley snorted and pinned her ears in fury. “Okay honey. You’re doing great. Stomp one more time!” Harley was more than happy to charge at it and this time, she whirled around and slammed both back hooves into it. It was thrown back and slammed into a rock with a high pitched whine. With swiftness that surprised her she pulled an empty Pokeball off her belt and tossed it at the Shinx. |

Pewter City, Pokemon Center http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/714.pnghttp://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/004.png Gideon Arc Gideon waved a curt goodbye to nurse Joy as he step through the sliding doors and into the Pewter City air. The sky was a pale blue, clear and humid. While not overly annoying, it made his skin sticky, made him feel less than normal. He pulled his jacket off his body and folded it up before stuffing it in his backpack. |
Sigurður "Sigur" Gunnarsson Viridian Forest "Curtain Closed" So it turned out that the weird punk of a Pikachu and its nearly unconscious pal were smarter than they looked, as they chose to retreat from the fight rather than stay to get their asses beat like their comrades had. Bál growled in displeasure for not having gotten the chance to finish off what she started, but her trainer didn't share that sentiment. He was just damn happy the whole crazy situation was finally over. Seriously, what the hell was all that about? Like his day hadn't sucked enough without getting caught up in all this. Sigur heaved a sigh of annoyance, scratching his head as he finally allowed his shoulders to relax and back to straighten. Now that he was free, he could finally continue on that damn route to Pewter City. Maybe now Bál had gotten enough fights to last her the trip there. If not, Sigur believed he would convert to eating Pokémon very soon. His stomach was emptier than a Ditto's head. Ugh. He glanced at the two girls out of mild curiosity, only to find out that they were apparently in the middle of an introduction round. What, was this elementary school now? ... Fine. "Name's Sigur," he voiced without waiting for his turn or making sure he didn't speak over either of them. He just wanted to get this over with fast, and then head towards Pewter. Hopefully, these two would be headed the same way and he could surreptitiously use them as guides, since he had no idea where he was or which way he was supposed to be going. Plus, he needed some human interaction. Someone to tease and all - he couldn't really do that with Bál, not when he ran the risk of getting his arms chopped off by her claws. "Well, it's a nickname, but not like you could pronounce my real name, anyway," he continued with a shrug, before turning to point a thumb behind him. "And that piece of crazy is Bál. She's-" He gritted his teeth so hard they damn near chipped. "... Gone!?" Sigur took a double take behind him, eyes wide from horror when he realized that his dragon was no longer standing behind him. Oh shit, oh shit, not again. Angry and panicking, the teen raised his gaze and squinted, just barely managing to see a quickly distancing blur of blue in the horizon. Son of a... Did it go chase the Pikachu or what? That bloodthirsty bitch. "Okay, gotta go, see you later and whatever!" Sigur blurted without taking a moment to breathe in between his words. He grabbed a better hold of his back and, with a quick wave of his hand, dashed into the bushes after his runaway Gabite. He swore, he'd feed that thing to... whatever type was effective against it once he'd catch her. Ice? He recalled her getting beat by a Swinub when young. Yeah, okay, Bál'd be ice-pig food, then. That worked. Luckily, this time it didn't take that long for Sigur to catch up to the Gabite; it only took a few minutes of frantic running and wheezing for breath for him to finally be in hearing distance. And he didn't waste a moment to make use of that. "Bál, goddamnit, didn't you get enough already?!" He shouted as he finally allowed his running steps to slow to a walk. Unfortunately, she wasn't listening (not that... that was anything new, really) as she was too focused on glaring down the strange, scarred Pikachu from earlier. Or, well, staring up, rather; the rodent was safely sitting on a branch away from Bál's reach, small feet trembling from exhaustion, yet cheeks still sparkling and eyes mere, glaring slits. The Gabite's glare was equally icy, and her claws glowed with the clear intent to sink into the Pikachu's flesh, probably to finish the thing off for good, since it didn't look it could hold on much longer. Geez. "Hey, come on, I'm seriously considering eating Caterpies if we don't get the hell out of here soon," the teen tried to reason a bit more calmly as he approached, one hand brushing sweaty strands from his face. "Or roasting one of the Pikachus from earlier. So how ab-" Finally, Sigur's words had an effect. Too bad that it wasn't Bál they affected - it was the Pikachu. In what had to be the fastest leap Sigur had ever seen in his life, the Pikachu had kicked itself from the tree's branch and launched its yellow, sparkling body straight towards his face. "Holy-!" Sigur breathed, not having much time to do anything but yelp and take a clumsy step backwards, nearly tripping over his own legs. He had a split second to defend himself, and so without giving it any further thought, he ran his hands along his clothes and belongings, looking for something, anything to fight back. Come on, he gotta have owned something usable as a weapon. Just then, his fingers brushed against something solid and decidedly removable, and he wasted not a single second grabbing it. As he brought it closer for throwing, he managed to catch a glimpse of red and white from his peripheral vision. He knew that color scheme anywhere. A... Pokéball? Yeah, okay, whatever, blunt trauma is blunt fucking trauma! And so with as much as strength as he could muster, Sigur threw the ball straight at the Pikachu, praying to god it would be enough to knock it out. It was already exhausted, so it wasn't like it was an impossible thought. Through some miracle the sphere did actually hit its target, and in a flash of red light that blinded Sigur and pushed him to fall backwards on his ass, the Pikachu was gone. Wait, what? How?! ... Oh, right. Pokéballs captured Pokémon, right? The ball wiggled once. So that's why the Pikachu was gone and he was saved, huh. It wiggled twice. But wait, if it went inside the ball, didn't that mean he... captured it? It wiggled thrice. ... Shit, no, he didn't want that rodent to- Sigur reached towards the ball as if in an attempt to pry it open before he'd hear the final ping. ------------- Pokémon on Hand http://sprites.pokecheck.org/i/444f.gif Bál, ♀ Ability: Sand Veil Moveset: - Dragon Claw - Body Slam - Dig - Sandstorm - Hone Claws |
Part 6: Boulder Badge earned Lilliana http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/PikaBot/Icons/Fairy%20Tail/Batch%2005/wendy-02.png Spoiler:
Badges Spoiler:
After a few moments the dust cleared and Lilliana smiled happily jumping into the air with a cheer. "Yay way to go Aria!" she giggled seeing Brock's Geodude fainted and Aria standing weakly. "Congrats Kid, you've successfully earned the Boulder Badge" Brock smiled handing her the badge and she quickly pulled out the blue case her father had made for her and fit the Boulder Badge into the correct spot. "That was a great battle, you've got one badge Lilliana seven more to go" "Thank you for playing with me" Lilliana giggled and called Aria back into her Pokeball. She walked a few steps away from Brock and then turned her head smiling. "Hopefully we'll get the chance to do this again" she waved her hand and ran out of the gym. First stop the Pokemon Center and then route 3 she thought slowing down as she neared the Pokemon Center. Entering the doors she had a short conversation with Nurse Joy and handed over Aria's and Alex's Pokeballs. "While you heal them is there a video phone I can use?" she asked kindly. "Yes dear right over there. I'll bring your Pokemon over to you when they're healed" Nurse Joy said pointing at a machine against the wall with a stool in front of it. "Thank you Nurse Joy" Lilliana bowed her head respectfully like her father had drilled into her. Walking over to the machine she hopped up onto the stool and entered the number for the video phone that was in Alexander's room at home. After a few minutes the ringing stopped and the image of her twin older by five minutes. "Alexander" she smiled happily seeing the boy with the same blue hair and the same eyes as her. "Lilli just now calling me you said you would as soon as you got there" Alexander smiled at her through the screen. "I'm sorry Alexander you know how I am I got distracted if I didn't have Aria i would have forgotten what I was here for" Lilliana smiled sheepishly rubbing the back of her head. "It's alright sis, so what all have you done so far?" "Well on the way here Aria and I fought a Vulpix and I caught it. I named it Alex. Um...I made a friend named Delta I saved him from a fire in the forest and got him to play tag with me" she smiled happily digging into her bag and pulling out her badge case opening it. "I just earned this" "Way to go Lilli I'm proud of you" Alexander smiled at her but she could see the longing look in his eyes. "I'm winning these for you Alexander. I don't wanna be a gym trainer but I know you want to" she frowned a sad look forming on her face as she started to think. "Lilli! Lilliana look at me" she heard her twin call out and she looked up meeting his eyes and snapping out of her thoughts seeing a look of relief on his face. "What?" she asked as Nurse Joy came over and handed her two Pokeballs. "Thank you Nurse Joy." "Nothing Lilli" Alexander smiled softly I just don't want you to remember that day he thought keeping the smile on his face. "It's off to the next gym right? I'd see about catching a grass type or an electric type. Aria's a water type and Alex won't stand a chance against Misty's water type Pokemon." "That's a great idea bro" Lilliana smiled. "I should get going I want to get as far as I can before it gets too dark" Alexander looked at her sternly and sighed. "Be careful please if you insist on heading out now maybe try to find someone to go with so your not alone at night please" "I will Alexander. I love you and tell mom and dad I love them too I'll call again when I reach another Pokemon Center" "Love you too Sis have fun" Alexander smiled at her and waved his hand making Lilliana hide a wince. She felt so bad knowing her brother could only move his arms but not being able to remember why it had happened. Ending the call Lilliana got up from the stool and exited the Pokemon Center hoping to run into someone willing to travel with her for the night. |
Gelius Emerald - Mount Moon - Criminal Group I kept walking deeper on the mountain and leaving those thugs hypnotized. I could see that Gary Clark was keeping his rhythm. Good for him. I got down in some weird stairs. And then... Pow! Something hit on my head. I blacked out 1 hour later... I woke up... I was tied... I look around and i saw Gary Clark tied too. Then i see a Raticate, a Beedril, a Kadabra, a Croconaw, a Pidgeotto and a Cacnea on a cage. Then i see Bubbles, Sludges and Leaf on a cage too. A guy talked. He had a Dodrio, a Fearow and a Haunter. "Haunter saw you taking a Leaf Stone. Give it to me! While you Croconaw boy... Give me the Moon Stone!" Said the guy. "Hmph... Why would i give you the Moon Stone?" Gary Clark said with an arrogant face. "We would never help you in whatever are you doing!" I shouted. "Well then... This is what happens to who messes with Team Rocket!" This name crossed my mind, "Haunter use Hypnosis!" We both fell asleep. |
Mount Moon: Prepare for trouble! Delta Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Delta was ready to collapse when he made it to the Pokémon center near the entrance of mount moon. He stumbled through the automatic doors and wheeled to the pink haired woman on the other side of the counter: Will... you... restore my... Pokémon? Sure thing. Nurse joy replied turning from the television screen to put his Pokéballs on the rejuvenation station. An all too familiar jingle played and she returned the Pokéballs to Delta. Thank you ma'am Delta smiled having caught his breath. Its my job. Say if your heading into mount moon be careful. The wild Pokémon inside have been extremely hostile ever since that private mining company began excavating new tunnels. I suppose it's nature's way of fighting humanity's lust for moon stones and fossils. Nurse joy called to Delta as he stepped back outside. Delta crawled through the Rocky tunnels and found that the nurse hadn't been lying. After having Riley dispatch several sandshrew, Char roasting some Paras, and Hope obliterating swarms of Zubat, Delta had barely made it into the first large chamber. Propping himself against a wall he sat and rested with his Pokemon whilst looking around. Somethings not right here. Just digging a new tunnel wouldn't make the Pokémon this angry, I mean when they were building new Villas back home they had to cut through some of Reversal mountain, but the wild Pokémon didn't get this angry... What's going on? Delta pondered to himself as he squirmed around trying to make himself more comfortable. He yelled in pain as something dug into his back. Stupid rock! Delta snarled as he tossed it into a wall. The stone shattered into several pieces and Delta almost fainted when he saw what was lying in the rubble. "Tha... That... That's a Fossil!" Delta obtained a jaw fossil! Delta put the jaw fossil in the long dead things pocket! Delta kicked through the rest of the rubble and was mildly disappointed when nothing else appeared. However he didn't have time to mope because at that minute a man in a black suit leaped out from behind a rock. Gimme that fossil you little twerp! The man snarled and sent out an Ekans. No way! The sign says I can keep anything I find within the mountain. Delta replied sending out Hope. Ekans use wrap! The stranger ordered. Hope was wrapped by the purple snake and Delta gritted his teeth. not so funny now is it? Hope! Thundershock! Delta replied. Hope released a blast of electricity from her tail and the snake Pokémon was struck with the full force, being unable to dodge as it was wrapped around Hope. Use poison sting! Thundershock again! The Shinx released another bolt of lightning, but Ekans managed to hit Hope with it's poison sting attack. Ekans released Hope from its wrap and hope shook whilst trying not to be knocked out by the poison. The Shinx rushed forward with a quick attack and collided into Ekans before it could move. Ekans slumped into a rock and began to twitch, but wasn't able to control itself. I'm not done yet you piece of crap! The black suited man growled kicking the Ekans. Hope use Charge! Delta snarled. Shinx began to glow and the black suited man's jaw hit the floor. Hey, maybe we got off on the wrong foot ya know? How would you like to join Team Rocket? We could use a strong kid like you... The man pleaded eying the glowing Shinx. Team Rocket? I don't know who they are, but if punks like you are in it then I can guarantee that I want nothing to do with it. Oh and... I'd start running. I don't know how long Hope's going to be able to hold that much energy in... Delta finished pointing towards the Pokémon. At that moment a blast of electricity erupted from around Hope and struck everything around her, including the team Rocket grunt and Delta, albeit Delta hadn't been hit nearly as bad thanks to the rubber gloves he had put on after having been shocked by Hope earlier. Hope learned Discharge! Needless to say the man rushed off, forgetting his Ekans behind. Delta felt sorry for the Pokémon but knew that there was nothing he could do to free it from the hands of the thugs of Team Rocket, so he continued onwards deeper into the cavernous bowels of mount moon. |
http://i.imgur.com/8RsK8Hk.pngTasman Bailey http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/418.png http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/016.png Tasman hurried down the grey stone streets of Pewter City, running full pelt past both commercial and residential buildings suddenly aware that the sky was becoming darker and the cool breeze he had ben experiencing at the park had become positively frigid in the evening air. “This is what I get for being so easily distracted!!!” he found himself yelling loudly, surprising the waning numbers of pedestrians around him. Tasman had intended to go straight from the park where he had met Jara to the Pewter Gym, where he could challenge Brock in order to gain his first badge. Unfortunately, Tasman had come across the Pewter Museum on the way and all but forgetting his plans had stopped and quickly become enthralled by the stones and fossils on display. It was only the closing of the museum that had sparked his panic… and had inadvertently caused him to run the wrong direction at first. The large, grey painted, building that was the Pewter Gym no finally came into view – a staff member in the process of closing up for the day. Tasman practically launched himself through the open sliding doors an skidded to a halt by the man. “I’m here to challenge Brock!” he breathed heavily, bent over double and panting. The man looked at Tasman irritably “We’re closing up, we took in our last challenger a little while ago and she’s gone on her way.” “The brochure says you wouldn’t close before 8:30 if there were still challengers in the lobby!” Tasman protested, eager to experience his first gym battle, however the staff-member would not budge “It has been an exceptionally busy day” he said and started to shoo Tasman from the gym when a third voice cut over him “You really shouldn’t be such a grouch Patrick” a calm and friendly sounding voice said from the now open door at the end of the lobby. Brock strode into the room, his eyes practically slits but somehow not alarming or threatening “come on through, we’re not closed yet.” A few moments later, Tasman found himself standing on one side of a large battlefield opposing Brock. The field was made of rock and tightly packed sand, several large and jagged boulders jutted out from the ground – although several had been burned, cracked or even completely shattered as a result of the many earlier gym battles. Tasman stood there in awe, he’d never seen anything like it and the empty rows of tiered spectator seats around the room only added to the imposing sense of the arena. Still, Tasman was not so enthralled that he could not register the change in the gym leader’s demeanour “What’s your name then, challenger?” Brock asked, suddenly serious “Tasman Bailey, pleased to meet you.” Brock inclined his head in response to Tasman’s greeting before continuing “Is this your first gym battle Tasman?” “Yeah, my first time in Kanto too – so far this has all been quite the experience.” Brock appeared surprised, but was soon able to regain his professional demeanour “I see, well let’s not waste any more time in getting into your first gym battle then. Sudowoodo, let’s go!” Brock released his first pokemon from its ball, in a flash of white light what appeared to be a tree-like pokemon appeared. It seemed to be about four feet tall, with several green spheres on the ends of its arms resembling hands and what looked like a twig on the top of its head. Tasman was well-aware though that Sudowoodo was a rock-type that had simply evolved in time to resemble a grass type in order to avoid water-typed attacks. He was thankful his mother had thought to tell him about that when he was younger. Maybe I’ll let him think I’ve fallen for it Tasman smiled “Majesta, shall we?” he said, still grinning as he released his feisty Pidgey from the confines of her ball. The battle had begun. Tasman though quickly, he knew that most of Majesta’s moves would do very little damage to the rock-type, so he sought to take advantage of its negligible speed instead of its type. “Quick Attack!” Majesta streaked towards her opponent, a fierce brown blur – at least she seemed as such to Tasman. Brock just smirked, not even uttering a command as the Pidgey repeatedly battered her opponent. Again and again Majesta attacked, but not once did the Sudowoodo falter, then; “Sudowoodo, use Sucker Punch!” in a sudden flurry of motion, the usually slow pokemon was able to out-pace Majesta and punch her hard to the ground where she struggled to return to her feet “Now, low sweep!” Brock followed up, the Sudowood sweeping its leg across the ground and sending Majesta skidding across the ground. Groaning she flapped hard against the ground, forcing herself back to her feet once again ready to take to the air. Tasman was shocked at the sudden ferocious attack, he had not counted on a priority move, and certainly not one has powerful as Sucker Punch. Brock had waited until just the right moment and then struck out. “Fine, let’s try attacking from a distance. Twister!” Majesta flapped her wings, a violent gale sweeping over the rock terrain of the battle field and soon forming into a large swirling vortex, the tornado moved quickly towards the Sudowoodo collecting more dust and gravel as it went. “Protect!” Brock yelled as the Twister was just about to hit its target, a green sphere of light burst into life around the rock-type shielding it from harm. Luckily, Tasman had anticipated Brock having a counter-measure for Sudowoodo’s lack of resistance against special moves like Twister “Brave Bird!” As the barrier faded, Majesta dived into the lingering cloud of dust surrounded by a blazing red light, suddenly erupting from the side and fanning her wings. The light flashed and expanded into a brilliant blue aura as Majesta slammed into her opponent and sent it flying across the room. “You strategise well. I’m impressed” Brock acknowledged “I’m impressed. Are you okay?” he asked his pokemon, but it just nodded already back on it feet. Majesta on the other hand, was fairing poorly shocked by the recoil damage of the attack. “Sand-Attack!” Tasman shouted and Majesta remained on the ground, flapping her wings until the sand on the ground blew against the Sudowoodo in a cloud, stinging its eyes and clouding its vision “Bave Bird!” Again Majesta launched through the cloud, but this time she did not meet with success “Protect!” Brock called, and instead of hitting her target, Majesta collided with the glowing barrier, an opportunity Brock didn’t waste “Stone Edge!” as the Pidgey fell back spluttering through the air, several jagged stones formed around the gym leader’s Sudowoodo and launched at her, slamming into her at a dangerous velocity and sending her flying into the back wall of the gym. Majesta fell to the ground, twitching and barely conscious. “You can strategise as much as you want, but I won’t fall for the same trick twice and I won’t let you overcome a type disadvantage so easily.” Tasman returned Majesta to her pokeball, thanking her for her hard work. Then he looked to Brock and laughed “It’s not over yet, how dull would that be? Gati, you’re turn!” In the familiar flash of light, Tasman’s Buizel took to the battlefield. |

http://i.imgur.com/8RsK8Hk.pngTasman Bailey The Final Clash at the Pewter Gym http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/418.png http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/016.png Gati’s fist, cloaked in an orange light, collided with the Sudowoodo’s branch-like arm, also glowing but a brilliant forest-green. Tasman’s Buizel surprised Brock and his pokemon with the strength of its move, however there was no denying that the Sudowoodo was stronger, and Wood Hammer the stronger attack. The rock-type was pushed back several feet whilst Gati was knocked sprawling back along the ground near Tasman’s feet, although he quickly leapt back up there was no doubt that he’d received more damage. “Again!” Tasman yelled and once gain Gati’s fist lit up as he ran full-pelt for the Sudowoodo. “Protect!” Brock called as Gati reached the gym leader’s pokemon and the now irritatingly familiar green sphere of energy erupted into being, Gati’s attack hitting the barrier and doing no damage to the Sudowoodo “Wood Hammer!” Brock called as soon as Gati’s attack was blocked, and the Buizel’s opponent attempted to slam it’s green-glowing limb down on Gati’s head. Tasman was not about to let his last pokemon get hit with a strong, super-effective move though “Aqua Jet!” Gati launched forward, propelled by a cloak of shimmering, high-pressure water, and slammed right into his opponent, narrowly avoiding the wrath of the Sudowoodo’s Wood Hammer. The pair of combatants soared across the battlefield until the Sudowoodo’s back hit the hard ground and Gati went over the top of it, skidding to a halt on its feet. Tasman didn’t let his opponent rally “Once more!” Gati again used Aqua Jet, flying towards the downed rock-type with the extremely effective move, but Brock was ready for him. “Sucker Punch!” As fast as Aqua Jet was, Sucker Punch was still faster… and stronger. As Gati was about to hit his target, Sudowoodo rolled to the side and slammed its hand down on Gati, knocking him into the ground with a loud bang, cracking ground. Gati twitched at the feet of the Sudowoodo, it looked like it was going to be all over – a two to one loss for Tasman. The young trainer found himself surprised; he felt his heart pumping with adrenaline, fear and most shockingly a strong desire to win. He refused to lose the battle, and knowing his Buizel, he knew Gati would agree. The Sudowoodo’s hand glowed green once more, and it raised its arm to deliver the final blow. Tasman felt his panic grow and in his mad fever, inspiration hit him. He knew enough about Sudowoodo to win, the answer was obvious. In that split second of thought, he knew he’d won the round. “Aqua Ring!” he yelled and without questioning the command, Gati formed a complex matrix of thin, lightly glowing rings of water that surrounded his body as he struggled into a crouch. The sudden appearance of all the water nearby made the Sudowoodo flinch and falter, Tasman smirked. “Power-Up Punch!” Gati leapt up, swinging his arm in a wide-arcing uppercut – his glowing fist colliding with the Sudowoodo’s face and sending it staggering, causing it to lose its balance and begin to fall. “Finish it off Gati!” the Buizel didn’t need telling, it flew into the unbalanced pokemon with an Aqua Jet, once significantly stronger than his earlier ones due to the repeated use of the strength-increasing Power-Up Punch. Sopping wet the Sudowoodo crashed through two of the battlefield’s boulders, before coming to a rest by the edge of the field. It lay groaning but otherwise couldn’t bring itself to move. “A good effort” Brock smiled, returning his fallen pokemon before his face once again became serious and he released his next pokemon from the confines of its pokeball “Kabutops, let’s go!” In a flash of white light, a tall and thin fossil-pokemon emerged. It’s insectoid appearance and rocky skin accentuated by jutting protrusions on its back and shining scythes at the ends of its arms. Tasman looked in awe at his new opponent “Amazing! I knew we could reanimate fossils with enough DNA present, but I never expected to see a fully-evolved fossil pokemon with my own eyes! This is fantastic!” Tasman continued to blabber excitedly until Bocks gaze caught his attention “Are you ready?” the gym leader asked and Tasman nodded his reply. He knew he was in for a fight, Kabutops was a rock-type like Sudowoodo before it… but unlike Sudowoodo it possessed a secondary water-type that would make it more resistant to Gati’s Aqua Jet. Tasman was thankful that Aqua Ring had replenished his partner’s health. “Aqua Jet!” Tasman and Brock called simultaneously, both pokemon rocketing towards each other in a spray of sparkling water and colliding head on, despite Gati’s temporarily increased strength he was still weaker than the fossil pokemon, although they appeared closely matched. Gati flew towards Tasman, skidding to his feet before his trainer, ready to face off against the Kabutops again. “Aqua Ring!” Tasman called, and Gati once again begun to heal itself, Brock however had other ideas. “Absorb!” Even as the rings of shining, crystalline water appeared they took on a sickly green-hue as stream of green energy latched onto Gati, draining his health and adding to the Kabutops’. Tasman replied with another fierce Aqua Jet, but the fossil pokemon cut Gati out of the air with a ferocious Slash. From then on a furious struggle erupted, attack after attack colliding near the centre of the battle field. A slash crashing into a Power-Up punch with a shower of orange and white sparks, Gati dodging through strands of green as he tried to hit his foe with a Pursuit and amazingly large and powerful Aqua Jets colliding with each other sending shockwaves throughout the room. Aqua Jets after Aqua Jets met with a crash in the middle of the battlefield and Tasman found himself grinning to see that after Gati’s continued use of Power-Up Punch his partner was now equal in strength with their foe, although his lesser defence proved a hindrance. Gati’s strength was flagging, and he was unable to heal with Aqua Ring for every time he tried the menacing green strands of Kabutops’ absorb would taint the pristine water. The battle was close but it seemed it was only a matter of time before Gati lost his furious and desperate struggle. “Aqua Jet!” he and Brock called together once more, and once more their pokemon rocketed into each other, colliding with a shockwave as the water sprayed across the room like a sudden downpour, drenching everyone and everything around. Gati landed in a crouch, panting heavily his body shaking. Across from him, the Kabutops still stood strong. Brock chuckled “Sorry, but this looks like the end… and I’m going to make sure that it is. Kabutops, Mega Kick!” Tasman looked on in horror as the fossil pokemon leapt into the air, its lower right leg blazing with an intense white light as it flew towards Gati, the Buizel barely able to move. In the instant he had, Tasman racked his brains, breathing fast his head pounding alongside his pulse. There had to be something he could do, some way he could turn his opponents power against him… “Use Power-Up Punch on top of its leg!” he found himself crying out, the revelation washing over him. Gati’s fist lit up and with a sudden, crazed and desperate effort he pushed himself to his feet, swivelled to the side and slammed his fist on top of the thin leg of the Kabutops, slamming it’s leg behind it into the ground and ruining its trajectory, shock flared in the eyes of the otherwise stoic fossil. “Pursuit!” Gati followed up by slipping passed his opponent guard, and ramming his shoulder into the weaker point at the base of its neck, the normally weak attack greatly boosted by Gati’s continual use of Power-Up Punch. The Kabutops buckled under the attack, and fell to its knees. Gati smirked and brought his arm down on his opponents head sending it crashing hard into the ground and knocking it out cold. Gati fell to his knees but through sheer strength of will did not faint. |
Mount Moon: Great Hordes of Zubat! Delta Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Delta grinned as he watched a traveling hikers Geodude fall to the ground with a thud. Once again Delta stood victorious and he shook hands with the hiker before continuing down the dark corridor, swagger in his every step. Well untill he tripped over his untied shoelaces and stumbled down a steep cliff and ended up in a thirty foot hole. Ah crap... Delta muttered looking up towards the ledge he had fallen from. The Pokéball on his belt popped open and a very annoyed looking Riley popped out. "Rio Rio!" Riolu shouted at his incompetent human trainer before sitting on a rock and pouting. Hey it's not my fault my shoelaces decided to come undone. You know what... Delta growled as he ripped the shoelaces out of his shoes and stuffed them into his pocket. Riley stared at his trainer and began to wonder just how hard Delta had hit his head on the way down. Don't look at me like that. They're evil I tell you! Delta remarked shaking his head. Delta sighed, the evil shoelaces forgotten, and began to look around. Char! Hope! Help shed some light will you! Delta called tossing the two Pokéballs onto the cave floor. Char and Hope landed beside Riley and begin looking around. "Char Char Char?(Why's it so dark?)" The little yellow Charmander asked. "Ri Rio Riolu!(Smart guy over there tripped and fell into a hole, and now he wants us to help him find a way out.)" The two Pokémon explode into laughter whilst Delta and Hope continue down the tunnel searching for a way out. Delta's eyes scanned the walls as Shinx released a burst of electricity illuminating the cave for a split second. No, you gotta keep the light going. That's called flash... I think. Oh! Dexter has LED's! Delta muttered pulling out the high tech encyclopedia. After turning the device on, Delta grinned as he thought about what professor Oak would say if he saw him using the Pokédex as a flashlight. Woah... look at all these stones... Steven would have a heart attack in here! Delta muttered as he stared around the tunnel. Indeed, the tunnel was littered with an assortment of stones, A cluster of moon stones here, An Icy rock there, but the stone that caught Delta's eye the most was a faintly glowing rock sitting on what seemed to be a natural pedestal. What a stone! Delta breathed inching his hand forward. His fingertips brushed the rainbow hued stones surface and Delta clutched the stone in his fingers. Delta obtained an Intriguing Stone! Delta put the intriguing Stone into the probably important items pocket! The ground around them rumbled and large chunks of stone began crashing down around them. How cliché can you get! Delta growled as he dodged a very annoyed looking boulder, which may or may not have actually been a Geodude. Char and Riley ran towards Delta at speeds that only adrenaline would allow. Suddenly the rocks stopped falling and a horrible screeching noise filled the air. A group of Zubat flew down towards Delta and his Pokémon as they gasped at the sheer amount of enraged Pokémon. "Hope! Discharge!" Delta cried as the first wave of bats flew by tearing his clothes apart. Hope began charging power and Riley began attacking with Dragon pulse. Char burped up a couple Flame bursts and after a moment Hope released the power it had been storing and fried a portion of the Zubat. Onix! Use rock blast! A familiar voice interupted from behind. Delta half turned and saw the unmistakable green and orange vest. Talk about good timing! Delta called as the sixth or seventh wave of Zubat are brought down between the combined efforts of Delta's Pokémon. Onix roared and the remaining Zubats flew away, intimidated by the rock snake. I'd heard that some hordes of pokemon were attacking people and I felt obliged to check it out. Looks like it's a good thing I did. Brock smiled offering to pull Delta onto the back of Onix. Thanks, I don't know what it is, but this place has gone insane. First some Team Rocket tries to mug me for the fossil I found, then I get attacked by seven thousand Zubat... Brock remained silent, a flash of dread crossing his face at the name of the most infamous gangsters in all of Kanto. Delta and Brock rode Onix out of the collapsed tunnel and they parted ways at the top of the cliff that Delta had stumbled down. Be careful alright, and keep your shoes... Brock paused noticing the shoelaceless pair of sneakers. Shoelaces are evil. Delta explained before he continued down the path returning to his ponderings of the morality of shoelaces. |
Gelius Emerald - Mt. Moon - Battle at Mount Moon I woke up and i was in a cage. I wasn't dreaming. I was screwed. Gary Clark was awake. "So you finnaly got awake... We are going to spend time here..." I looked around. I looked on my bag then. They had forgot to take the Leaf Stone. "So... Wanna play cards?" I said. "I have nothing to do... So why not?" He said with an arrogant voice. We sat down and i shuffled the deck. Then i gave him 4 cards and gave myself 4 cards. "Have a 3?" He asked. I gave him a 3 card (angry of course.) "My turn again... aces?" I shook my head. He took a card from the deck (a 6 card). "Do you have 10?" He angrly gave me two cards of 10. "One point!" I put the four cards near me. "My turn again, any 2?" He sook his head. I took a card (a 5 card). "Any 6?" I shook my head. He took a card. Then he had a strange expression on his face. "What's wrong?" I asked. "What is wrong is that you are cheating!" He said. Then he showed me the card he took not so time ago. Was a 10 card. "I can explain..." If he beats me here, right now, i will die. He opened my jacket and found a second deck. He then found some crads that i could secretly get. "You son of a-" He was interrupted. The guy with Arbok and the guy with Haunter came in. "So you woke up? Good that you are having some entertainmen before you die here... When we are finished i will use my Onix to bury you and your Pokémon alive!" Said the Arbok guy. "Who are you?" Gary Clark asked. "I am Shadow! A Team Rocket Executive!" Said the Haunter Guy. "And i am Snake! I am also a Rocket Executive!" Said the one with Arbok. "We have a deal... Snake talked me about the preformance of you two... How about joining us?" Shadow said. "Why the we would join your Team of sh*t?" I shouted at him. "Well you choosed to die right?" He said. Then i heard like some rocks falling on the upper floors. "Executive! This is dangerous! And a boy with a Shinx defeated me!" Said a grunt. "We can beat that boy!" Shadow said. "There is worst. Brock is here! We must leave the faster we can!" Said the grunt. "There is no worry. Brock is no match to us!" said Shadow. I saw the keys to the cages. And i got the perfect plan. "Pst. Sludges can you use Minimize?" Sludges nodded and became smaller. He tried to not atract attenction to the grunts. He managed to reach the rock where the keys were. He grabbed the key for our cage. When he returned to my cell, he gave me the key and returned to the normal size. I opened the cage silently. We secretly got also the keys for our pokemon. When we got the keys for our pokemon cages and were to free them, i triped on a rock. Gary Clark had already saved his pokemon. The grunts heard me. I quickly opened the cage, resulting of Leaf and Bubbles to jump outside for the battle. We went to our battle possitions. Shadow talked. "Wanna return to your cages or you want trouble..." "Uh... I go for trouble!" I said. "Yeah! And make that double!" Gary Clark said. "Whahahahaha! Are you crazy? 20 of us vresus you two? Lets go!" All the grunts called teir pokemon. "Attack!" Both the sides said. At the middle of the battle, i found a fossil that looked like a claw.I remember that this is a Claw Fossil so i picked it up and put it on my bag. |
http://i.imgur.com/8RsK8Hk.pngTasman Bailey How to Destroy a Tree (and Hopefully Catch a Nidorino) http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/418.png http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/016.png With Gati by his side and Majesta circling above, Tasman sat in the warmth of the sun admiring the way the Boulder Badge between his index finger and thumb gleamed in the sunlight. It was the day after Tasman had defeated Brock, however he’d only just now thought to actually look at his Badge having left the Gym in a hurry to watch a meteor shower that the Gym Leader mentioned, completely missing he was being invited to go with Brock and his family. The way the light shined against the sun had Tasman in something of a trance, which Gati found extremely amusing. Suddenly however, Tasman’s transfixed Gaze was ripped away from his badge. Not too far away an enormous pillar of electricity had erupted out of nowhere. Without stopping to think, Tasman ran towards it just as it vanished with Gati and Majesta hurrying along with him. It didn’t take long for the trio to find the site of the shock, however reaching the apex of a small hill by the location it became apparent that whatever had caused the distraction was no longer there. In place of the catalyst however was a large circle of burned and dead grass and cracked ground. Route Three was a patchy route nestled inside a large canyon that lead up to Mt. Moon. The Majority of it was covered in thin grass, however there were many large sandy or rocky patches as well on the uneven terrain. This was something different though; this was a grassy area that had been devastated by a nasty electrical attack. It was extremely interesting. “I do not think we want to meet whichever pokemon was able to create lightning like that, I think it used Thunder not Thunderbolt.” Tasman knelt down and reached over to touch the ground when he realised he was still holding his badge, he blinked at the object as though he was surprised to even find it in his possession, his expression causing Gati to fall over laughing. Tasman reached for his bag so he could return the object to his badge case… his bag wasn’t there. Gati laughed even harder and it didn’t take Tasman long to realise what had happened. In his haste to explore the source of the electricity he had ran off and left his bag where he’d been sitting earlier. Unfortunately, the bag was far from empty and contained all of Tasman’s supplies – food for him and his pokemon, clothes, medicinal supplies, his badge case, his pokeballs, pokedex and most importantly the large notebook that contained all his drafts and ideas. “Oh… right” Gati was beyond hysterical with laughter, struggling to not fall over as he followed behind Tasman and Majesta as they hurried back the way they had come. Flying at her top speed, Majesta arrived at the location of Tasman’s bag before he or Gati (who was still laughing too hard to move as fast as he could), but surprised both of the laggers-behind when she dive-bombed out of the air. Not long after a worried trainer and Buizel arrived at the scene and stopped dead in their tracks. A spiky pink pokemon was running in circles, Tasman’s bag on its head and Majesta pecking furiously at him – and it was definitely a him because Tasman recognised the hampered pokemon as a Nidorino which was a male only species. Tasman’s belongings were strewn all over the camp, but the sight of a Nidorino being chased by Majesta whilst seemingly wearing a bag on its head was extremely comical. Tasman bent over-double, Gati no longer the only one in hysterics. As the onlookers laughed, the Nidorino finally managed to shake off the bag – sending a particularly large apple rolling across the ground amongst Tasman’s other possessions. The Nidorino ran after the fruit, the apple seemingly the object of the Poison Pin pokemon’s desire. Majesta dived between it and the fruit intending to take it out with a Brave Bird, but before Majesta could even begin the attack the larger purple pokemon barrelled trough her, smacking her aside and straight through a tree in its quest for food. Both Tasman and his Buizel stopped laughing, knowing full-well that doing something like that to the fiery Pidgey was both not especially easy to do, and extremely inadvisable. “Well I wasn’t planning on battling today but apparently that’s out the window.” Majesta pelted back trough the bird-sized hole in the trunk of the tree in a blur of motion as she attacked with Quick Attack, smacking into the unguarded side of her target as the Nidorino swallowed what was left of the apple it had devoured. The poison-type was sent rolling across the ground leaping to its feet as it choked and coughed on the food. Once it regained its bearings it glared at the Pidgey… it was the berry situation all over again. Tasman looked over the situation, unlike any of the other pokemon Tasman had faced, Nidorino’s back’s were covered with sharp spines and on their head was an equally pointy, poison-secreting horn. They weren’t known for having amazing defences, but it wouldn’t be a good idea to blindly attack like Majesta was prone to considering the chances of impalement… and yet if he switched her for Gati Tasman knew he’d incur Majesta’s wrath instead. Sighing Tasman said to himself “Alright then, let’s do this quickly before it turns into a bloodbath” then he said more loudly “Twister!” he wanted to keep Majesta away from the Nidorino’s spines as much as he could. A tornado sprang into life as Majesta’s wings flapped, heading for the Nidorino – however the poison-type surprised Tasman by leaping up and diving into the ground, forming a deep hole. Of course, it knows Dig. The ground move itself couldn’t damage Majesta, but it allowed the Nidorino to avoid dangerous attacks and surprise its attackers. For a while nothing happened and it seemed as though the Nidorino had fled, but then it burst out of the ground not far away, catching Majesta off guard and launched itself for her with a glowing horn. “Sand-Attack!” Tasman yelled, Majesta flapped sand up into her opponents eyes, and tried to get into the air in time, but the Nidorino’s aim was top-notch and its timing impeccable. The horn jabbed into Majesta’s wing and sent her spiralling our of control right back into the tree she had just hit. Before Majesta could react the Nidorino ran for her, it’s horn shining a foreboding purple. “Get out the way, that’s Poison Jab!” Tasman shouted, Majesta didn’t need telling twice though and had already somehow gotten into the air, the dangerous attack narrowly missing her. “Twister!” again the tornado burst into existence, but this time it caught the poison-type and flung it away. The Nidorino got back to its feet and once again rushed for Majesta. Majesta formed another Twister, but this attack missed the same as the first had as the Nidorino buried itself below the ground again. Once more it emerged behind Majesta and launched at her, trying again to hit her with a Poison Jab. This time though, Tasman and Majesta were ready for it “Stop flying!” Tasman commanded, as much as she hated heading to the ground Majesta did as she was told, immediately snapping her wings shut so she dropped below her opponent and landed on the ground with a thud – as a flier she knew gravity and despite her instinct to fly up she also knew Tasman was right and that it was faster to work with gravity than against it. Even if she didn’t always get along with her trainer, she was quickly learning that he had a useful brain… which apparently the Nidorino didn’t because it used Dig again. The manoeuvre was effective, stopping the pokemon from smashing into the ground and preventing a counter-attack, but when it again emerged behind Majesta, exactly the same distance away, it seemed apparent to Tasman and both his pokemon that despite being powerful and having a knack for battles, the Nidorino was pretty stupid. Once more the wild pokemon tried to Poison Jab Majesta, who was airborne once more, and again Tasman had her drop down out the way. Still, there was no sense letting a foolish move go to waste. “Quick Attack!” Majesta launched into the side of the Nidorino just before it hit the ground and sent it slamming into the tree it had knocked her through. Once again the Nidorino got its feet and ran for Majesta, once again with a horn of glowing purple. “Dodge it!” Majesta flapped quickly, ascending high enough to avoid the attack before flying in a loop-the-loop to be streaking towards the back of the Nidorino “Quick-Attack!” Majesta slammed hard into her target in a blur of motion, the Nidorino an easy victim since it had stopped moving and had begun frantically looking around for the Pidgey that had evaded it. The Nidorino rolled back onto its feet as Majesta once again dived for it, this time she was less successful, the Nidorino whirled around and kicked hard with its back legs, twice in rapid succession, and sent Majesta careening back in the opposite direction. Struggling Majesta forced herself back into the air, Tasman was thankful he’d thought to get her and Gati fixed up at the pokemon centre before continuing his journey because just once of the Nidorino’s intense attacks would have finished either of his team after their gym battle. Still, despite its strength and raw ability, Tasman was sure he could win… after all the Nidorino had just totally forgotten it was in a battle and had skewered a bag of chips with its horn attempting to shake the food into its mouth unsuccessfully. Gati was once again rolling around laughing and Tasman was staring at the pokemon in amazement, soon finding himself laughing along with his Buizel “Majesta, you might want to remind our friend what’s going on Tasman didn’t know why, but he’d just decided on a course of action – and thinking back to his battle with Majesta, he knew just how to do it... and considering the Nidorino’s lack of intelligence he suspected it would probably be a fair bit easier. “Get its attention with Quick Attack!” Majesta again smacked into the Nidorino, reminding it of the battle as it skid over the ground. Although the chip packet was still hanging from its head, it gazed menacingly at Majesta and ran at her, launching forward with a Poison Jab. Majesta flapped back, just barely out the way. Over and over the Nidorino tried to attack her, but every time she narrowly avoided him. “Majesta, fly towards the tree but don’t get too far ahead of him!” the Pidgey angled towards the tree that had become a prop for the battle, allowing the Nidorino to stay just barely behind “Through the hole!” Majesta closed her wings and dived through the narrow hole in the trunk, Just as Tasman had expected the Nidorino jumped after her slamming head-first into the hole. However, unlike Majesta – whose species as “Tiny Bird Pokemon” for a reason, the Nidorino was far to large to get through the opening and lodged itself in the hole. “It must be nice to be on this end now!” Tasman called to Majesta, knowing he’d regret it later but unable to resist “lets help him out, Brave Bird!” Majesta flapped up high for altitude as she circled back to be on the side of the hole without a horn sticking through it, then she closed her wings and hurtled towards the Nidorino as a red light blazed into being around her. Majesta sored into her target, widening the hole as she hit the Nidorino as sent it flying out the tree – following behind it with ease. The Nidorino hit the side of the canyon and rolled to the ground. Grinning Tasman grabbed a pokeball from the ground and thinking Why not? Tossed it at the purple pokemon, drawing it inside as it snapped shut and begun to shake on the ground. |

Danica Chandler Route 3 Click! Yes! The wild Skiddo was caught! Danica Chandler went to fetch the Pokéball keeping her calm, serious self, but inside of her she was jumping for you and squealing in happiness. With a smirk, she gazed at the Pokéball containing the small goat that was now in her hands. "I think I'll call you Harley." she said in an instictively deadpan tone, and put the Pokéball in one of her hoodie's pockets. If I'm going to catch more Pokémon, which I am, I'm going to need something more convenient to carry them. Having all Pokéballs scrambled in my pockets just won't do. I should probably get some case for my Badges, too. she thought. Then it was time to check on Curtis, the Pokémon who had made her capture possible. She turned around to congratulate him, but what she saw made her heart beat with worry. The tired Ralts had collapsed on the rocky ground. She tried poking him, but he wouldn't response. Yikes. I'm gonna need to get to a Pokémon Center...and fast. she said to herself and sent Curtis back inside his Pokéball and put it away. She checked her Pokégear Map App to see where the nearest Pokémon Center was. There were two options: one was to return to Pewter City, which would take longer time to get to (and through) Mount Moon, and there was one... right outside it! But it was a longer distance. Without hesitation, she sprinted east, trying her best not to trip over any rock or get her feet tangled in tall grass. Some wild Nidoran nearby sensed an odd presence, and one that was moving fast. Believing it to be a threat, they growled and charged at the blue-haired girl who was only dashing to get her Pokémon healed. The growls distracted the girl and she ended up tripping over and scraping her knees against the hard ground. She got back on her feet, only to find out that the reason she tripped over was far worse. Even though many girls thought Nidoran were awfully cute and were awesome pets, Danica couldn't help but see them as horribly vicious monsters. And five of them were now running her way, with a blood-thristy (in her opinion) look in their eyes. She frantically searched for her new addition in her pocket, but in all nervousness, she fell on her back. "EEEEEEK! HEEEEEEEELP!" she screamed. |

Mount Mooon: Team Rocket strikes again! Delta Spoiler:
Spoiler:
Delta had made a lot of headway into mount moon, but the endless onslaught of angry Pokémon was beginning to take it's toll on him and his team. Come on guys, it can't be much further. Delta murmured as he climbed over some rocks. He paused to catch his breath when he heard voices. Come on you useless grunts. The boss wants these fossils at the lab in Cinnabar by Monday. Meaning you'd better GET MOVING! A female voice barked. Delta peered around the corner and saw a young woman with fiery red hair standing in front of two men, all in the black uniforms of Team Rocket. Beside the woman was a black dog with bits of bone sticking out in places. Houndoom. The dark dog Pokémon. Long ago people thought these eiery Pokemon to be the call of the Grim Reaper. Delta frantically tried to cover the speaker of the device, but it was too late. What an appropriate description. The woman giggled as she spun aground to face Delta. I... was just leaving... Delta laughed nervously, annoyed that the Pokédex had gone off randomly. Oh, but I think Houndoom wants to play... The woman grinned as she nodded towards her Houndoom. Oh Shit... I'm not going to be able to Weavile my way out of this one... Uh... Okay... Fire type... should I go for Riley? Or Hope? or... Delta stood there thinking as the Woman with the Houndoom introduced herself. I am Blaze, one of the executives of Team Rocket. I've been tasked with extracting fossils and evolutionary stones from mount moon. My associates and I have been trying to clear the mountain of travelers like you for weeks now, but it seems that your like weeds that must be burned away. Now, here's a little lesson kid, if you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen! A pokéball on Delta's belt snapped open and Char materialized next to Delta. Ooh... isn't that a rare specimen. Not only a Charmander, but a YELLOW one as well? I daresay that my boss will be very pleased when I present it as a gift. Delta gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. Flame burst NOW! Delta yelled pointing towards Blaze. Nice try. Blaze giggled as Houndoom leaped into the blast. That's the Flash Fire ability, when Houndoom gets hit by a fire type move it gets stronger. She explained. Delta frowned and felt his hand move towards Riley's Pokéball. No. Char can do this. If he could hold his own against a Pokémon league official, even if it was a minor one, he should be able to master a type disadvantage. Char suddenly lashed out at Houndoom with a scratch attack. The blow connected and left visible gashes in the bone armor. Ooh naughty! Houndoom, why don't you use crunch on that mean little Charmander? Blaze replied with a giggle. Dodge it and Retaliate with scratch! Delta roared as he watched the dark dog rush towards Char with fangs barred. Houndoom and Char collided and the two Pokémon squirmed around for a moment before Houndoom latching onto Char's left arm while Char smashing Houndoom in the face with a Dragon claw. Char learned Dragon Claw!! Nice trick kiddo, but I'm just getting fired up! Houndoom! Flame charge! Blaze ordered. The Houndoom engulfed itself in flame and sped towards Char. The impact shook the entire cavern and the flames leaped around the room, spinning and growing out of control, Char and Houndoom becoming an Inferno of flame. Suddenly a roar erupted from the center of the glob of fire and Houndoom flew out and smashed into the wall with a loud thud. The inferno continued to glow red hot for several seconds unroll the flames exploded showering the cave in red hot embers. In the place where the flames had been stood a yellow... Charmeleon?! Congratulations! Your Char evolved into Charmeleon! Oh... you fight with a ferocity that few have! Blaze giggled slowly clapping. Now! Houndoom! Use Crunch! Blaze ordered, her eyes burning with excitement. Use your new Dragon Claw technique! Delta exclaimed watching in awe as the newly evolved Pokémon moved with even more grace than before. The two Pokémon once again caught each other with their attacks and both seemed unfazed by the attacks of the other. You know, it would appear that Charmeleon had not only absorbed the energy from the fire and sped up its evolution, but it seems to have heated up its internal flame, which in turn has made it stronger all around. Using your opponents attacks to better yourself, you are a clever one... Blaze giggled as she watched Houndoom and Char collide again. Ma'am we've got trouble down below. The bosses want you to go deal with... It would seem that I've got grown-up work to do. Houndoom return! Blaze called pulling out a black and white Pokémon with a red R on it. I advise you stay out of our affairs kid, my boss is much stronger that me, and half as nice. The fiery haired girl called as she followed the two grunts through the cave. Delta stood standing still for a long moment. To his right was the path out of mount moon and towards Cerulean and the Cascade badge, but to his left was an unknown number of Team Rocket members who were probably up to no good... Delta stood for another moment pondering which way he was to go. |
Gelius Emerald - Mount Moon - A rocket war and a fiery trouble "Attack!" Was what both sides heard. As both sides commanded, lots of Pokemon charged to fight ours. "Croconaw Water Pulse! Pidgeotto Wing Attack! Cacnea Drain Punch! Kadabra Confusion! Beedrill Poison Sting! Raticate Hyper Fang!" Gary Clark gave his orders. "Bubbles Bubblebeam! Sludges use Sludge Bomb! Leaf go for a Razor Leaf, because we dont have time to charge!" I ordered. When our side's Pokemon heard the orders, they striked in. The destruction between the sides was so big that even made the upper floors shake. Shadow and Snake were simply watching the battle. Some time later, our side had defeated the grunts easily. "So this means that Team Rocket is completely useless." Says G. Clark. "You can't beat guys with 1 badge, you don't beat no one!" I said. G. Clark then shows me the Cascade Badge. "How did you got it?" I asked. "Stop the chit-chat! Lets see how you go against us!" Said Shadow calling his Fearow, Haunter, Dodrio, Duskull, Shuppet and Mightyena. "Lets fight like man!" Said Snake calling Onix, Arbok, Seviper, Ekans, Dratini and Golbat while challenging G. Clark. So i fight Shadow... I am so screwed... "This is for putting 5 of our grunts into deep sleep!" "Don't forget me!" Said a female voice. "Blaze?" Said Shadow and Snake at same time. "Pfffft... You are 2! You can't take on this kids? I was about to defeat another one!" She yelled. The Houndoom growled. "Blaze, you can't talk to us like that, Or else Boss..." Said Shadow. "Yeah i know, will do me the same thing he done to the woman years ago for ditching Team Rocket. I KNOW!" She yelled. "Let's get back to the fight!" I shouted. "Let me finish this Shadow..." She said. "Houndoom Dark Pulse!" She commanded. As the pulse hits G. Clark's Pokemon, my pokemon had succeed to escape... Great now i was really screwed! "See Shadow... Its easier when we have the same traget... Houndoom use Flamethrower on the kid!" She yelled. The Flamethrower almost hit me but it had hit Leaf. Leaf was down of course... I retrieve him. "Hehehehe... Onix use Rock Throw!" Commanded Snake. The Rocks had hit Sludges... Only Bubbles was up... i retrieve Sludges... "How about 13 pokemon vs a Poliwhirl?" Said Shadow... I need help immediately. |

http://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/015.pnghttp://www.serebii.net/xy/pokemon/013.png Anselme Gwenaël Ducreux Pokemon Center → Pewter Gym Time: Early Afternoon After the call with Enzo, Anselme made his way to a local bar where he made an effort to drink his stress away with the bit of money he had in his wallet. He spent a good amount of his wallet’s meager contents with little success before deciding it was more trouble than it was worth and simply heading to a room in the pokemon center where he lied in bed listening to music until the relaxing tones and slight drunkenness brought him the peace of unconsciousness. The next morning Anselme woke very glad that he decided not to get hammered the previous night, and after some aspirin and a few glasses of water he got to work figuring out where the nearest port was. Pay day wasn’t too long ago, so he was pretty sure he would have enough in savings for a ship back home. Hopefully. Looking at the map on his Pokegear, he found that he had two choices. Pallet Town was the closer of the two, but it meant having to travel through that damned forest again. The little information blurb on the screen when he clicked the forest kindly informed him that all those bugs he saw crawling around last time he was there were actually poisonous. Fun. After that, he would just have to pass through Viridian City and a Route before he made it to the dinky little town of Pallet. Alternatively, he could go to Vermillion City, which was farther by one city than Pallet was, although there was apparently an underground passage that could take him there straight from Celadon. All it took was going through a dark cave system inside a huge mountain, probably full of bats and things. The map told him it was a popular place for meteors to crash. After some consideration, he decided dark cave where he might find rocks people would pay for beat going through a forest full of poisonous bugs and bad memories. Pallet being a bit closer wasn’t worth that. And so, with the decision made, Anselme headed for Route 3 to begin his journey home. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like things would go so smoothly. Once he got there he found a policewoman, the same one from yesterday, in fact, standing in front of several other people. It looked like she was blocking the Route. He really hoped she wasn’t. Anselme stepped closer to hear what she was saying. “-too dangerous. We’ve been receiving several reports of theft and even assault, and they’ve all described the culprits as individuals calling themselves ‘Team Rocket’. Fortunately, the majority of them don’t seem to be too skilled at handling pokemon, so I imagine a skilled trainer should be able to get through safely. I’d be willing to let you through if you have at least a Boulder Badge.” At that, the people in front of her either showed her a badge case, or they went on their way. Of course, Anselme didn’t have the badge, and he wasn’t too fond of the idea of negotiating with her, so he went on his way as well. Before he left, though, he was sure he saw the woman glare at him. Well, he didn’t really care what she thought. He didn’t plan on getting involved with the police much anyway. So Mt. Moon was a bust, leaving that god forsaken forest as his only option. Reluctantly making his way there, he happened to pass by an electronics store with TVs in the window playing the news. They told of there being reports yesterday of abnormally aggressive Pikachu roaming the forest in hordes. Well goody, so he could get poisoned and electrocuted! Yeah, no. He’d only been in Kanto for a day, and he was already starting to hate it. So was he stuck then? Well, the condition for getting into Route 3 was having a Boulder Badge. Maybe beating this Brock guy wouldn’t be too hard with Enzo’s Beedrill. It couldn’t be as bad as the forest. With that, he headed off to the gym, upset that things were getting so troublesome. The gym was apparently supposed to close early today, but Anselme managed to get in before then. After being told to put out his cigarette and sitting in the waiting room for what felt like ages he was finally invited into the battlefield. Apparently there were bleachers he could have been watching other people’s battles from, but it had been a stressful day so far and he felt the need to just sit back and relax a bit. A man Anselme could only assume was Brock stood across from him on the other side of a field Anselme had seen several times on TV; an official pokemon battle field. The guy looked younger than him, maybe somewhere around 20, and he was really squinty for no apparent reason. Maybe his eyes were really bad and he was too lazy to get glasses. Either way, when Anselme entered the room, Brock gave a confident grin. “Welcome, challenger. I hope you know the gym closes early today. I plan on heading to Mt. Moon later today to dig for some fossils. That means that if you lose, you’ll probably have to wait until tomorrow for a rematch. Just a heads-up.” Well that was good and all, but Anselme probably wasn’t going to bother with a rematch if he lost. If Brock ended up being super strong, he wouldn’t want to bother with the stupid badge. “So how many badges and pokemon do you have?” “None, and 2.” Anselme answered concisely. Hopefully this would be over quickly so he could get back to what really mattered. Unfortunately for him, as soon as he thought that Brock’s cellphone rang. Brock raised a finger telling Anselme to wait a minute before turning to answer it. Anselme groaned, but still tried to listen to the one-sided conversation. “Hey, it’s been a while! You don’t usually call to make small talk, so what’s up?” Shouldn’t you tell them "this is a bad time" or something? thought Anselme as Brock answered the phone. “Really?” Brock glanced over at Anselme, which gave the latter a really bad feeling. He prayed that he was wrong about the person he now thought was on the other side of conversation. “Well I definitely have to see that. Are you sure, though? ...Hmm… Makes sense.” Brock couldn’t help but glance at Anselme once more, deepening the man’s sinking feeling. “Well alright then. But one more thing. How did you know? ...Uh-huh… Isn’t that kind of… Yeah, I guess that’s true.” The longer the conversation went on, the more restless Anselme got until he was just about ready to leave. Finally, Brock said his goodbyes and hung up. “That was Enzo, wasn’t it?” asked Anselme matter-of-factly. Brock smiled and nodded. Anselme clenched his fist, his face slowly filling with rage. “He’s got some of his pokemon stalking me or something, doesn’t he?” This time Brock was hesitant to answer. “I wouldn’t really say ‘stalking’, rather-” “I’ll take that as a yes,” Anselme interrupted, noticeably angry now. “Screw the gym battle, that bastard needs to give me some answers!” Anselme didn't bother to hide his emotions. He pulled out the Pokegear and quickly redailed the one number the phone had called. Enzo picked up fairly quickly, answering with a cheerful, “Hey, bro! What’s up?” like he usually did. “"What’s up" my ass! So now I can add stalking to your list of actual, illegal crimes against me? Can’t you just leave me the hell alone for once in your life?” Anselme was seething, gripping the pokegear as if he were trying to break it. There was a sigh on the other end. “Don’t think of them as stalkers or even as security cameras. They’re more like bodyguards.” Anselme was about to interrupt with another rant, but Enzo cut him off with a stern, raised voice. It seemed like this wasn't something he wanted to argue about. “There are dangerous people in Kanto right now. Usually, a trainer can use their pokemon to protect them from danger, but right now you have no idea how to use yours. Until I feel like you can properly protect yourself with your pokemon, I refuse to have mine leave your side. You didn’t even know they were there, so you can be sure they won’t interfere with your affairs unless absolutely necessary.” “Then why bring me to a place like this, huh? There are plenty of other regions you could have picked for your stupid adventure plan, so why this one?” “Because trainers will almost always encounter danger in their travels, whether that be berserk pokemon or highwaymen, and they need to know how to defend themselves. I would have done the same for any other region, but I took you to Kanto on the hope that if you do get skilled enough for me to call my pokemon back, you could do something to help them. Right now they need strong pokemon trainers to stop this threat from spreading. The military won’t show up unless it’s absolutely necessary, and the police can’t be everywhere. They need Trainers.” Anselme grumbled for a bit, then gave a sigh of his own. “Well that’s not my problem. But if these dangerous people are that serious, I guess I can live with your stalker pokemon being around, as long as they don’t bug me.” It sounded like Enzo was going to thank him for understanding or something like that, but Anselme simply hung up on him. Then he turned back to Brock and asked him, “So what did he call you about then?” He'd calmed down a bit, but was still very irritable so regardless of the rules in the gym he pulled out a cigarette. Brock didn't stop him. It look like Brock needed a moment to take in the entire situation, but he was back to his calm, confident self fairly quickly. “He wanted to let me know my next challenger was his brother, equipped with the child of two of the pokemon he used to beat my strongest team when he was here, and that I shouldn’t hold back even though you’re a newbie. It’s not because he thinks you’re a prodigy or anything, though. He just thinks you’re underestimating pokemon battling. We’ll see if that’s true once the battle starts.” With that, Brock finally pulled out a pokeball, signaling the beginning of the battle. |

http://i.imgur.com/8RsK8Hk.pngTasman Bailey Sometimes Lightning Strikes Twice http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/418.png http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/016.png http://pldh.net/media/pokexycons/033.png The ball shook on the ground Once… Twice… Three times… On the third and final shake, the ball let out a light pinging noise before falling still. Tasman picked up the pokeball and looked curiously at it, for the second time on his journey he had tried and succeeded to capture a pokemon and for the second time he found himself puzzling over how the device worked. Tasman continued studying the ball for several minutes before he felt something tugging at his leg, Gati was gesturing at the ball whilst Majesta called irritably at Tasman. Oh yeah… Tasman spent the next little while examining Majesta before spraying her with potion and feeding her an oran berry for good measure. The medicine seemed to provide instant relief to his pokemon – something he was glad for. Then he braced himself, remembering how violently Majesta had reacted upon first being released from her pokeball, and let out his new Nidorino. “Nido!” the pinkish, purple creature exclaimed, tilting its head at Tasman in much the same way his new trainer had looked at the pokeball. The Nidorino continued to look at Tasman for a short while before, much to his surprise, shrugging and returning to trying to eat from the bag of chips it had skewered. As the pokemon started eating, Majesta screeched loudly and dived for it again. Tasman sighed, returning his Pidgey before she could do further harm to their new companion. “We’ll have to deal with your possessiveness later” he said to himself, returning Majesta’s ball to his ransacked bag and then walking over to the feasting poison-type with another potion. Tasman stroked the pokemon’s side, slightly weary at first, but it soon became clear that the Nidorino was not even remotely perturbed over… well anything. He let Tasman heal him, not even looking up as he continued searching for more food. It seemed as though the only thing the pokemon was even remotely interested in, was filling its belly. “Gati, help me pack everything up before our new friend forces me to go back to Pewter for more supplies. I want to reach Mt. Moon before the end of the day.” “Bui-“ the orange-furred pokemon chimed and the two began recollecting Tasman’s possessions from where they lay strewn about, rushing to ensure that they saved as much food from the mouth of the hungry pokemon as they could. It took nearly ten minutes to make sure they found everything Tasman had with him, slightly longer than it might have had they not frequently had to dive for food in order to save it from the Nidorino. Once everything was sorted, Tasman sat leaning against the bag whilst Gati seemed to chatter with the surprisingly cheery Nidorino. It’s funny really, you always hear that Nidorino are aggressive pokemon but if individual members of the species are your only example you’d think that they were all quite friendly, albeit food-obsessed, and it was Pidgey who were dangerous and aggressive. Actually… a story about a misunderstood Nidorino would be great! Tasman proceeded to pull out his notepad and jot down notes and ideas for his next story, it was only when he had come up with names for several characters that he realised he had yet to actually name his own Nidorino. “Hey” he found himself saying, both Gati and his newest pokemon turning around to him “If you’re going to travel with us, I need something to call you. I’m not going to be one of those trainers who doesn’t differentiate you from the rest of your species at all. Hmm…” Tasman spent the next little while racking his brains and rattling off names to Gati and the Nidorino – he’d have included Majesta but he wasn’t totally sure if that would be safe just yet. The two pokemon would frequently shake their heads. I could name him Henry like the character for my story… but that isn’t right because his situation is nothing like that. He’s a bit of a glutton… maybe Royal. That relates to Henry and the king was certainly a greedy man… but Royal doesn’t seem to fit his nature at all… he needs a simple but strong name, nothing too scary though. Tasman reflected for a bit longer when inspiration hit him “I know! I think you’re a Lance!” both Gati and the Nidorino, now Lance, cheered at the name. With a name decided, Tasman retrieved his pokedex and proceeded to scan Lance to discover his moves and ability. As it turned out, not only was Lance powerful but he knew more moves than Gati and Majesta with Poison Jab, Double Kick, Horn Attack, Dig and Toxic Spikes. Fittingly enough, his ability was Poison Point. Tasman sat there for a while longer, chatting to his pokemon and considering what he’d just learned when a loud noise silenced the group. Not far away another enormous pillar of electricity had burst into existence with a loud crack before abruptly disappearing. Forgetting his train of thought, Tasman grabbed his bag an ran towards where the lightning had struck with his pokemon at his heels. |
