"Ugh, Why can't we just settle down and talk like civilized people for once? Okay everyone, just remember to not do anything-" Sotelo's words were cut short, as Pete steps forward, loudly stating the obvious.
"There they are! Let's get 'em!" Pete charges toward the Dratini, assuming it would be slower and easier to hit than the Noibat, even with that balloon lifting it up.
"Oh, god damnit people, seriously?" Sotelo face slaps himself with his stubby legs. During his frustration he does not notice the way the enemies move, so much that he doesn't notice the Noibat readying his Super Fang, shining fangs ready to suck his potato blood.
Rupert had kind of expected his awesome heroic partner, Kaller, to go and bash some skulls or whatever it is that acquatic turtles like him do, but realized that he had to save the awesome potato who was being attacked by the evil duo first and foremost. Realizing he had to do something, he balled his fists into steel whatevers and charged straightaway at the evil Noibat who looked 10 times as evil as the blue worm who goes by the name of Dratini.
The Noibat easily anticipated his moves from the distance and dodged by just flapping above until he reached a considerable height. Dratini jumping onto him and wrapping its slimy body around Rupert´s chest. It then made some kind of face which everyone knew was supposed to be intimidating but, all in all, what in the world is there to be scary about cute little ´:3´faces? Rupert burst out laughing at the failed display of antagonism and the Dratini looked annoyed. Due to the sudden burst of anger that came in his stomach Dratini released Rupert and started crying, spazzing erratically around the damp ground - the Air Ballon detaching itself from his body in the process - in loud whimpers, sobs, snorts and crying like there wouldn´t be a tomorrow, which, admitedly, there wouldn´t be if he keep crying around like that.
Dratini's leap carried it clear over Pete's head, and he ends up slamming his fist into the far wall. He growls in annoyance, turning back toward the flailing dragon.
Noibat on the other hand had flown on top before seeing his dumb partner crying. "WOULD YOU STOP THAT CRYING DRATINI! WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIGHT AND YOU SPEND THE TIME CRYING?! GET A MOVE ON YOU BABY!!!!!!!!" he screams loudly from the top of his lungs before realizing the fact that it did nothing to stop the wimpering Dragon-type.
"Humph." Dratini said amongst sobs, tears rolling down his face, "You never understand my pain and suffering. Just wait until I become a beautiful Dragonite.¨He sobs, and soon continues in equal frustration, "¨Then It´ll all be better. Then I'll teach you all a lesson." His monologue is accompanied by new found anger, ¨You will learn not to make fun of a beautiful Dragonite like me! I'll prove myself, now if I have to, and you´ll regret ever making fun of me, ever yelling at me!"
The dragon-type stops his erratic whimpers, and stays juxtaposed in sudden calm and focus against the bunch. Staying still for a second or so, the Dratini closes his eyes. With the sound of waves crashing louder and louder around, he goes serious in his stare and, whipping his entire body in circles, launches a five metre wide bubble at all the good guys. Slowly, but steadily, Dratini´s magnificent, most evil creation floats towards the gang. Dratini stares at it, patiently, as it begins to near its target.
A certain scientific Treecko huffed at the oversized bubble and put his right hand in front of him. Small orbs of green light gathered in front of his palm until a large green sphere of pure energy was formed, then launched straight through the bubble, popping it - much to the surprise of everyone who expected to die out of bubble-popping-itis- and sailing towards the poor dejected Dratini. "You guys were dumb enough to show yourselves and then run straight to a dead end so I'm not going to bother telling you to hand over the
Sli-Goo. So just sit there and wait for the beating!"
Noibat watched in horror as the Treecko destroyed his partner's greatest creation with no effort whatsoever. Such madness! No one can mess with Dratini like that! ... Except for him, of course. He looked as his partner started sobbing once again, ranting about how he was so useless and that he would never make it out there in the world of beautiful Dragonite. He feels angry and goes for the Treecko with his fangs outstretched, swiftly darting across the room within a second or so. He was prepared to sink his teeth into that juicy, green gecko neck of his. Regardless of all enemies of him still fresh as lettuce. He was only aiming for the Treecko right now.
Jon's eyes widened at the sight coming at him. "Whoah, whoah, no swoops!" He leaned back to avoid the attack because it came at him so fast he felt he didn't have time to duck. Of course it was harder to regain his balance than if he had ducked, so when he swung back up he wasn't fast enough to avoid Noibat's double tap. Noibat slammed into Jon, lifting him up with his feet and baring his glowing fangs before sinking them into the Treecko and taking out half of his invisible, crearly hypotetical HP bar with a single hit.
"OWOWOWOW! Oh yeah, well a single cut may hurt like crazy but a microfracture will grow worse until there's nothing to do about it!" Realizing that Noibat couldn't hope to dodge in that position, Jon began to work his throat like he was about to hock a loogie, and then spat a single seed onto his opponent.
Noibat threw Jon to the ground and got a safe distance away from the group before shaking himself hard, but no matter what he did the annoying seed wouldn't unstick from him. Nobody else knew it but Noibat's fate was already sealed, they needed to give him a whoopin' anyways but from here on out it was just a waiting game.
But we all know the waiting game is just so, so boring.
And thus, realizing that musing the meaning of life and maybe undersea caverns is pointless if you're not a geologist- whatever that is, anyways- Tanner lifted his head up and looked at the Noibat with a grin; he could always hit it with a Tackle and end this waiting game. However, this doesn't really pose any interest to him, because what does he care that a Noibat is present and flapping it's wings like there ain't no tomrrow, there's a Drakimishi or whatever those things are called and it deserves the hurtin'.
Granted, it was crying.
So instead, Tanner decided that this was perfect bro-bonding time, keeping in mind the dire situation and the awesome soundtrack and making sure to pull a plot twist when least expected of him, he sat down next to the Dratini and patted it's back. "It's okay buddy, it's okay. Someday man. Someday. You gotta go up the echeladder one by one though, can't be a Dragonite without the Dragonair and can't be a Dragonair without being a Drakimis- I mean, Dratini."
"R-Really?"
"Uh, yeah. Totes."
Pete stands there, blinking in confusion as the T. Rex comforts the small dragon. "So... are we enemies or not?"
Tanner lifts a claw to his lips. "Shh, she's having a moment." He strokes the Dratini's head, realizing that he just said she. She better be a she. Regardless, he sighed. "At the end of this though, I can't forget that we are enemies, so..." He spins on his heel. "No hard feelings. Thunder Fang!"
Dratini sniffled as she said, "Really?" while looking at the Tyrunt. But due to the sake of plot she was the villain and villains had to be beaten up till the point of no return, so Tanner used Thunder Fang and bit into her tail. "Aahhhh!" she screams the pain shooting up. However, for some reason her heartless partner, Noibat roared and knocked down the Tyrunt from behind with a powerful Super Fang.
Dratini was about to thank Noibat before he said, "Are you really a girl? Like, for realsies?"
"Arghhh. Are you seriously starting to care about me just now?. Of course I'm a girl you idiot!" then she set her eyes on Rupert and decided to use Wrap on him.
Slithering at breakneck speed (although she didn't have a neck), Dratini launched herself on the Croagunk as Rupert struggled. She then formed a bubble and blasted the amphibous pokemon with it. Sadly for her, however the force of the bubble knocks her back and frees Rupert.
Noibat meanwhile swooped onto Rupert. Rupert spat a small needle at Noibat and Noibat dodged it with incredible ease. Rupert's arms then glowed dark, and he went after the Noibat. Noibat tried to dodge, but sadly for him, Rupert had just used Pursuit and that move's supposed to deal more damage when a pokemon trys to escape... Not that Rupert himself is aware of it.
As the Noibat fell down, Rupert broke into a crazy grin. Wiping his mouth, he made a fighting stance and like a mini Chuck Norris, then said, "Is that all you got, ya punks?"
Unknown to him, the Noibat was stirring and targeting the potato in the group.
And here was Sotelo, staring at the utter chaos that was being caused by everyone hitting everything else. It was a beautiful sight to behold, actually. Y'know, attacks and lights and spurts, and needles flying all around.
Wow. Just wow. So much for a quiet chat to settle things down.
He sighs, still unaware of Noibat trying to go back at him, or, rather, ignoring him. Regardless, he merely spins his head, sending gusts of wind from the tip of his leaves to Noibat and Dratini, knowcking both to the ground for a bit.
"There you go," the potato tells the rest of the crew as soon as both enemies touch the ground, adding injury to injury, the seed on Noibat's back burst open and began to constrict and siphon the life out of him right after he hit the ground. "Now any of you can put a stop to those two."
Noticing that Noibat refuses to stay down, Pete contemplates knocking him out with his strongest punch. However, his teammates seem to be in a better position, and speed isn't exactly his strong suit. Instead, he decides to try out something that had been in the back of his mind for a while.
With a thought, Pete reaches out and grabs Noibat in his mind. He imagines a fist made of his own willpower, grabbing the bat and restraining it. "You're not going anywhere, pal! I've got him, you guys take him out!" With Noibat held in place by Pete's telekinesis, victory is at hand!
"Hey Noibat!" Jon shouted at the trapped thief. "I've decided I feel bad for you, being talked into what was obviously a stupid mission and a trap, so even though we have to take that
Sli-Goo back, I've got a consolation prize for ya." He made what may as well be his signature pose and focused until green energy began to gather and swirl around between his hands. "I call it an Energy Ball!" With his final and totally-not-lame quip finished he launched the Energy Ball at Noibat and it slammed into him so hard it knocked him right out of Pete's telekinetic hold and whimsically flattened him against the nearest wall, defeated, but not fading out from existance as the Pokèmon from before. Instead, a white veil enveloped him and then... he simply vanished from the room.
Staring at his fallen comarade, Dratini, the oh so feminine Dratini whose gender has obviously never been questioned before stared in awe at how Noibat himself was so easily defeated. She then faced the crew, and whispered to herself that ¨she´s so screwed right now.¨
As Noibat is propelled out of his grip and against the wall, Pete turns to face Dratini. She'd dodged him once, and Tanner had saved her a second time, but the third time would be the charm. "Alright, you slippery snake! You steal the
Sli-Goo, you hide away in this cave, and you make me look bad in front of my new friends! Time to take you DOWN!"
He charges forward, screaming loudly to get his blood flowing. A ghostly aura surrounds his fist, and he jumps just before reaching Dratini, both to add momentum to his punch, and look totally cool doing it. He slams his fist into the back of Dratini's head, knocking her face-first into the stone floor. "And STAY down!" He dusts off his hands, standing victorious over the tiny snake... dragon... thing.
And that was it.
The second threatening monster faded away with the same light and manner by which Noibat did so before. As Dratini left the scene, the prized
Sli-Goo finally made its appearance, neatly falling in front of Sotelo because magic pr something.
"... Well," he sighs, and takes the item with one of his stubby arms, "I suppose that's about everything. Here ya go, Slushy-o," he tosses the item of greatness of a very odd appearance to his slushy partner, who gladly takes it and slushily thanks everyone as it places it back on his bag.
"Thanksh errybody!"
And because we haven't had enough cheesy-ness yet, that was it. Sotelo took his explorer badge, and in - literally - a flash, they were off.
Their first adventure was a quick one indeed, and
clearly did not span past an hour, or a day, or a week, or even a month, because that'd be way too dumb.
Everyone grew to level 10 because yes and also because yay! With that aside, this post took a while, did it not? Apologies on that one, school has been... hectic, to say the least. I shall try to keep things moving as we now head to the next settlement: Golden Town!
