[PKMN FULL] [T] Delirium [IC]

Eric Koba had just walked out of Professor Blackthorn's Laboratory, with his partner Sprian in its Pokeball. He then walked towards the Landing Ports on the outskirts of Gallant Town in order to catch at least one other Pokemon in the area, probably going to end up with a Burcoa, but hoping for a Churbin. As soon as he stepped into the tall grass, a wild Burcoa jumped out to attack Eric.

"Alright, Sprian! Come on out, comrade!" Eric said, throwing Sprian's Pokeball.

Sprian let out a hiss as it came out of its Pokeball, staring blankly at the Burcoa, and Eric checked his Sprian's Pokedex Entry.


"Sprian: The Toothy Pokemon. Probably amongst the hardest Pokemon of the region to train, Sprian are normally only given to highly skilled trainers who can take time to deal with this rambunctious and mischievous Pokemon. Highly territorial, it can influence another Pokemon's or human's minds and twist reality to its will, but only for a short period of time."


"OK, Sprian, use Disarming Voice!" Eric ordered.

Sprian let out a loud screech, that was almost as shrill as fingernails on a chalkboard, right at the Burcoa.

"Great!" Eric cheered. "Now let's catch it!"

Before Eric grabbed the Pokeball to catch Burcoa, the little insect Pokemon tackled Sprian head on.

Eric used his partner Pokemon's situation to his advantage, and right before Sprian was knocked to the ground, Eric threw a Pokeball at the Burcoa, and the fuzzy bug was forced inside of it.

Kiro was relaxing on a bench not far from the professor's laboratory, examining a pokèball against the sky. To say he was just sitting down would be wrong. Frankly, he was taking up the whole thing by lying on his back. I wonder where the other eight are? He'd spent most of time thinking about his situation, being one of the nine immune to hysteria. This isn't exactly how I imagined my journey would be... But, at least I'm a trainer now, and I get to leave Xanadu, so it's all good. He tossed the pokèball that held his first pokémon the side before he rose and out came a green, dinosaur looking thing, "Alliam huh?" Now sitting properly, he checked his pokèdex as it excitedly roared in acknowledgment,
"Alliam, The Grass Lizard Pokèmon. Alliam are small and young swamp dwellers; in addition to being able to control the vegetation of their habitat around them to make dens, they can see clearly underneath muddy water and can easily propel themselves through reeds and lillies using their grass-like tail fin."
Huh, what a coincide. "I know a few places in Xanadu that you might like." Standing, Kiro similed and gestured to the side, "Come on, let's go."

The walk was exciting, despite being mostly uneventful, Kiro and Alliam enjoyed just being near each other, anticipating the adventurers the two would have together. Before long, they had reached The Landing Port. After a quick look around and a step onto the cracked cement, he realized that this place was abandoned for at least a few years. The amount of nature showed that at least some pokémon were probably around. After walking aimlessly for a few minutes a question came to Kiro's mind I'm I even allowed to be here? Eh, doesn't matter. I haven't seen anyb- His thoughts came to a halt as a Churbin quickly flew past his face then Alliam jumped and snapped at it. Alliam had managed to clip its wing and the pokémon cried spiraled into the dirt before scrambling to its feet and looking towards a nearby Burcoa hurriedly retreating into a thick, thorny bush. The Churbin screeched then angrily began to fly at Alliam. Meanwhile, confused and on his bottom, Kiro thoughts raced along with his body What just happened! Alliam slammed into his left side, knocking him onto his side and breaking his train of thought once again. However, after a couple seconds on the ground and seeing the Churbin windup again, he realized his current situation, "Dodge and use Bite!" As Kiro rushed to his feet, Alliam jumped to the side and caught the Churbin in its teeth. Alliam then shook his head quickly and with as much force as possible, threw the Churbin into the bush. Now flailing around and hurting itself on the thorns that began to twist around it, Kiro took advantage of the temporarily restrained Churbin, "Now Growl as much as possible." He could see the Churbin involuntarily recoiling into the thorns with each growl. Though he refused to use Bite, fearing the thorns dealing unwanted damage. "Stop." Alliam quieted down as Kiro noticed that the Churbin had realized it was only making its situation worse and stopped trying to escape the thorned bush. Kiro reached for the second pokèball on his hip, as it was empty, and threw it at the Churbin, I wonder whether it'll be in the bush again if I don't catch it. The Churbin was sucked into the pokèball that bounced off it, before it rolled down the bush and began shaking upon hitting the ground.

One... Two... Three...

Would it escape at the last minute? Or was it caught?

Caught... Caught...

Kiro watched as the pokèball stopped moving. Huh, I caught it. He stared blankly at it for a moment before picking it up and placing it in the second slot on his hip. Turning to Alliam, he asked, "So, what was that all about?" Alliam questioningly cocked its head to the side, "You know what I mean..." Alliam shrugged and Kiro sighed, "Just forget about it." He tapped the pokèball that contained his newly acquired pokémon. As the small parrot looking thing emerged, Kiro checked his pokèdex.
"Churbin, The Baby Parrot Pokèmon. Found normally in hot and humid climates in the wild, Churbin have now become house pets across all of Veriti because of their beautiful plumage. They are easy-going Pokemon and do well with young children, making them ideal Pokemon for youngsters to meet while learning to become trainers."
"Cool, a flying type." Churbin nodded and looked Kiro in the eye before tackling Alliam and taking off to survey the area around the thorny bush, "Hey! Be nice!" Churbin dived into a thorn-less space in the bush. What are you doing? Kiro watched silently with a confused face as Churbin emerged with a Burcoa in its beak. Burcoa used harden in fear, then Churbin tossed it into the air and began juggling it with tackle until Burcoa flipped toward the ground and dived head first, slamming into Churbin at full speed on its next pass and pushed it straight into the ground. Churbin was pinned, trying to knocked Burcoa off with its wings. Kiro watched his pokémon battle, questioning its motives the whole while, Wings, that's it. Alliam stepped forward, "No, she's got this. Churbin, use sand attack with your wings, then tackle when you're free." She scooped up dirt threw it in Burcoa's face, using the advantage to kick it off and fly back into the air. As it struggled to recover from her escape, Churbin rushed in with tackle but Burcoa dove into the ground dodging the attack. Kiro paused an studied the ground for any signs of movement, Hm, how do we find it. If we wait too it'll probably run away. "Aha, Alliam growl!" The ground shivered in a spot not to far away. "There, tackle." Churbin dove for the dirt, Wait for it... The ground ceased shaking and began to rumble. "Now, loop and tackle." Churbin changed directions at the last moment as Burcoa emerged with an attack. Churbin flew up, looped under Burcoa and tackled it into the ground. Churbin watched for a moment before standing triumphantly upon the fainted Burcoa. Kiro smiled at Churbin's victory, Ah, dig. A useful move however if missed, the pokémon is left wide open.

A few minutes passed as Kiro made sure that Alliam and Churbin made up. Afterwards they continued looking around for pokémon and eventually came across the saltwater pond in the south where the group relaxed and played games. Alliam had been staring at the water, occasionally growling, "Hey, what's wrong?" No response. Kiro realized Alliam was very focused and looked to the water trying to find some reason for his partner's actions. Minutes passed. Growl, wait, repeat. Growl, wait, repeat. He almost gave up when the water moved and Alliam pulled his head back. Soon after, a Minu jumped out of the water and he snapped. A cry spread throughout the area. Much to Kiro's surprise Alliam had caught The Minnow Pokèmon. "Woah! No way, you can fish!"

I think we should start heading back. "Hey, Alliam, you've still got some battles left in you right?" Alliam pulled its head out the water and nodded, I hope you know that's saltwater... Churbin looked particularly tired as it flew to Kiro's shoulder. Hm, Churbin needs a break. Kiro reached for his pokèball but stopped, Maybe one more battle. Against something with a type disadvantage. Another Burcoa maybe. "Let's go." Kiro walked around lost for a while until finding familiar territory, where he came across a Pacin. It was eating something in cracks of the cement. "Alliam, get behind it and bite its tail." Kiro whispered in an attempt to land a sneak attack. Alliam approached slowly with its mouth open for nearly a minute before it got close enough. Almost... Three, two, one... Snap! The Pacin began frantically flailing as it cried. "Now lift it up and use Absorb." Alliam held Pacin high in the air and shot beams into it that sucked its energy away. Oh yeah Absorb heals. I think I'm gonna stay here for awhile. The Pacin turned to use scratch, "Slam it into the ground!" Alliam whipped is head down repeatedly until Pacin's slipped out of its teeth. Pacin bounced of the concrete and fainted. "Yeah! It worked! Nevermind, we're not leaving. Churbin, look for more pokémon."

Kiro followed Churbin to a particularly large hole in the concrete where another pokémon was at. "Alliam use Bite." The Burcoa dodged to the side and used tackle, knocking Alliam on its side. "Put some distance between you two and use Growl." His partner jumped back opened its mouth, however Burcoa used string shot to seal Alliam's mouth. Wow, that's clever! "Absorb!" Burcoa dodged the beams and tackled the string, where it bounced off and sent the force through Alliam's body. I like this one. "Alliam return. Go Churbin, use Tackle." Churbin dashed off Kiro's shoulder and slammed into the Burcoa as Alliam was pulled into its pokèball. Churbin spun around and used sand attack, then followed up with another tackle. Nice. "Tackle it as high into the air as you can get it, then tackle it to the ground." Churbin flew under Burcoa and tackled it from below, then looped over and tackled it from above. When the dust cleared Churbin was hovering above the fainted pokémon. "Good job! That was the strongest one so far! Come on let's find another!" Churbin flew towards Kiro but fainted mid flight. Hm, maybe not. "Let's take a break. Churbin, return. Alliam come on out." Alliam exited the pokèball, unable to speak. "Oh yeah. Let me get that gunk off your mouth." Alliam held his mouth wide open as Kiro reached inside. The string was thick and somewhat sticky, yet surprisingly strong as he struggled to remove it. "Ah, there we go. Don't worry, if there's pokémon that strong out here, we just need to get stronger. But first," Kiro looked to his hip, "Let's go to the Pokèmon Center."
