[Best Veteran March/May 2011] A new professor in town - Kanto Adventure PG13

Kairi got an idea. She sent out her Jigglypuff,"Ok, Jigglypuff I'm going to teach you a rap song. If you sing it, no one will be put to sleep ever again."

Jigglypuff blinked a few times,"Jiggly?" Kairi nodded her head. Jigglypuff smiled,"Jigglypuff!"

Kairi spent all day, trying to teach her Jigglypuff a song that wouldn't put people to sleep. She spent more time with her then she ever spent with Pikachu. Pikachu started getting kinda jelous. He couldn't understand why Kairi was paying so much attention to Jigglypuff and not to him.

Pikachu walked up to Kairi,"Pikachu. Pika pika pi pi," he said trying to get Kairi's attention,"Not now Pikachu I'm busy," she told him, then turning to Jigglypuff she said,"Like this ok." Showing it again how to sing the song she was trying to teach it.

Pikachu walked off thinking that Kairi didn't care anymore. He started walking though Mt. Moon on his own. Pikachu was then attacked by a Zubat,"Pikachuuuuuu!!!!" He said shocking it making it faint. Pikachu then continued on, heading towards the exit, if he could find it that is.

Pikachu ran into a trainer who thought he was a wild Pokemon, and pulled out a Pokeball, but Pikachu just shocked him to the ground before he could even call out his Pokemon. Pikachu continued on. He found the exit and ran out to the other side.

***

Meanwhile, it was getting late and Kairi had done it. She had taugh her Jigglypuff a rap song,"Now that will be perfect for my contests. Remember that song now, Jigglypuff," She told her. Jigglypuff nodded her head. She then pointed at something,"Jiggly puff?"

"What is it Jigglypuff?" Kairi asked. She turned around. Pikachu was gone,"Pikachu!" Kairi called. She returned Jigglypuff and ran into Mt. Moon as she followed Pikachu's foot prints and it had led into Mt. Moon. So, she ran into Mt. Moon looking for Pikachu.
 
Mistakes

"Oddish, return." Rini pulled her pokemon back to her pokeball. "Thanks Oddish, you did great." she replaced the pokeball in her pocket, after making it smaller.

Pidgey finally got over his giggles and flew over to her.

"Finally finished making fun of me?" Rini asked, rolling her eyes.

Pidgey chirped.

"Did you find a way out?"

In response Pidgey began flying away quickly, and Rini followed. The pace was pretty fast, as both pokemon and trainer were eager to get out of the forest.

Shortly after they started out, Rini ran into a wild Metapod.

"Go, Pidgey!" she yelled, all smiles now. With Pidgey back the battle wouldn't be as difficult. "Tackle it!"

Pidgey slammed into the Metapod, and it rolled over onto it's side. He then landed before the cacoon and shook his head to clear away the stars he'd been seeing.

Apprantely sensing the oncoming attack, Metapod had already began streagthing it's defense.

"Metapod, metapod." it stuck it's tongue out.

Pidgey actually looked angry now.

"Sand attack!" Rini yelled, not really in the mood to deal with more cacoons.

Metapod looked around nerviously, trying to spot the bird through the sand thrown in it's eyes. "Metapod?"

"Not so confident now huh? Tackle it!" Rini smirked as her pokemon obeyed her command and sent the Metapod reeling.

Metapod looked around nerviously, not sure where Pidgey's attacks would come from next.

"Ok now use...." Rini lunged forward, as she began this last bit, and in her over eargerness tripped on an exposed tree root. An empty pokeball came loose and rolled toward Metapod. "Hey!" Rini made a wild grab.

The pokeball smacked into a rock, flew up and landed on the Metapod's head. The cacoon was sucked into the ball, and it began to shake.

Rini was wide eyed. "I don't want a Metapod....." she watched nerviously, mentally chanting don't catch.

Pidgey, for his part was once more in hysterics. How many mistakes would this human girl make?
 
@Rii - Nice post.

'Rini looked down at the pokeball hoping the Metapod would break back out. The Pokéball tilted from left to right before a bright light issued and the metapod broke back out. Rini breathed a sigh of relief. All of a sudden the Metapod began glowing and evolved into a Butterfree. Rini threw a pokeball to try and capture the newly evolved pokemon. however, the Butterfree avoided the pokeball and flew deep into the forest. Rini hungh her head, but Pidgey burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter. He laughed so hard, the bird fell out of the air and began rolling around on the floor in hysterics...'

Sorry couldn't resist
 
"Way to go!" Sean cheered, as he caught his 3rd Pokemon.
There was still the Rocket workers around the side, Sean peeked over at them hoping that they would not see him. "So, remember, see if there are any stupid itiots with Pokemon daring to get through and take their Pokemon. And also take the wild Pokemon that come up to you aswell." Sean did not like the sound of that. He retreated his Nidoran, having no Pokemon out, and ran towards the two men, standing next to the ladder. "And where do you think you're going?" They questioned him. Sean looked at their faces, which were frightening as they might do soemthing to him. "Move out of the way!" Sean demanded. They laughed, and refused to move. That was when Nidoran had jumped back out of the PokeBall, and rammed them into a large rock. "Thanks, Nidoran. Now, let's go down." So they did. The ladder did not lead the way to the exit, but there was still more Rocket workers. "So, this must be the way out of this trashy cave." Sean had heard the man, which shown that he only had to walk a smaller distance to get out of the cave. Unfortunately, there was another Rocket worker, armed with a Koffing. "Stop!" The member of Team Rocket had startled him. "Now, hand over that Nidoran! And all the rest of your Pokemon!" Sean would not comply, and replied nastily. "Dream on! Like I'll give you any of my Pokemon, mate!"
"Well, we'll have to settle this with a battle then." Sean had no problem with that, the Rocket Member's Koffing looked like it could do not much harm. They were in position, ready to start a battle.
 
Liv looked up, gasping in surprise as Warren leapt seemingly out of nowhere to boot Mankey square in the side of the head. It fell to the ground, but leapt straight back up and clambered halfway up the cliff-face before leaping back down with a furious Scratch attack. Warren threw himself backwards, but Mankey's sharp claws just brushed him, cutting through his t-shirt and leaving three thin lines of red across his chest. Before he could react Mankey attacked again, using its Low Kick to hit Warren in the one place a boy does not want to get hit by an aggressive and disproportionately powerful primate. He fell over backwards, gasping for breath as he rolled on the floor in agony. Mankey stood back, laughing loudly. Warren struggled to breathe as Liv's face loomed over him.
"Are you okay?" she shouted worriedly, as though it was his ears that were damaged. Warren had just enough air in his lungs to gasp out:
"Do I look okay?" Liv grinned a little, then gasped as she saw something fly over her to land between the two teenagers and the angry pig/monkey thing.
"Ratta, Rattata!" it screeched angrily. Clearly, Rattata was not so angry about its nearly broken skull that it was content to let Warren get emasculated by a Mankey. It had been a close call, though. Mankey laughed, then swiped at Rattata with a lazy Scratch. The purple rat easily dodged it, then dashed forwards and Tail Whipped Mankey across the nose. The Pig Monkey Pokémon stumbled back, then screeched as a Quick Attack Struck it. As it turned round in a sweeping Low kick, Rattata leapt forwards in a Tackle. Mankey had been expecting this, though, and grabbed Rattata in midair. It dropped it, then punted the small rat with an aggressive Low Kick. Rattata fell fast, but bounced off its tail and rolled as it landed, minimizing damage. Surprising Mankey, it launched one last Quick Attack that knocked Mankey over, unconscious. Rattata cheered, then blanched in surprise as a Pokeball soared over its head. The ball burst open and pulled Mankey in, rocking from side to side. Rattata turned round and saw Warren and Liv standing there, Warren with his face scrunched up in pain. But who had thrown the ball?

Pikachu heard a noise inside the cave and ran back inside. He found Sean and ran up in front of him glaring at the Rocket,"Pika pika!" He said in a threatening voice, which meant,'Harm Sean and your dead!'

The Rocket looked at Pikachu,"Well what'll we have here, an electric rat. I think I'll take it too."
 
A golden opperunity

Rini was in a huff due in part to her earlier actions. Pidgey still led the way, but even he knew not to say much when his trainer was like this. She was still mumbling as she looked through her pokedex.

"I can't believe I forget Metapod evolved into Butterfree. I wanted a Butterfree, and I messed up."

"Butterfree is the evolved form of Metapod." her pokedex chirped in a happy voice, as if to conferm her own mistake.

"Yea, tell me something I don't know." Rini huffed, still pouting. "And here I thought I could be a breeder."

"The evolution line of Butterfree is as followes: Caterpie, the caterpiller pokemon, follewed by Metapod, the cacoon, then finally Butterfree, the butterfly."

"Well that's good to know." Rini took a closer look at Caterpie. "That's it. Pidgey before we leave we're gonna catch us a Caterpie!"

Pidgey chirped as if to say, "Finally."

Rini after searching, for a bit had still not found a Caterpie. Actually since the Metapod incident she hadn't seen anything.

She pulled Oddish's pokeball from her pocket. "I know your tired, but I really need your help." Rini released Oddish, who stood half-asleep before her.

"Oddish?" she yawned.

"Could you use Sweet Scent to attract a Caterpie?"

She nodded, and began loosing the Sweet Scent. The fragance drifted throughout the air, and in patituclar into a tree above the girl's head.

Something small landed in her hair, and held on tight.

"Ahhh! Get it off! What is this?!" Rini yelled running back and forth as the whatever clung to her head. "Pidgey, don't just laugh. Help me!"

Pidgey chirped and flew straight at his trainer knocking both her and the pokemon to the ground.

"Ow, my back." Rini rolled over to find herself looking into two large curious eyes, and a pair of antenia. "Caterpie?"

Something was wrong though. "Aren't you supposed to be green?" she asked, wondering if it was sick.

Caterpie smacked her with her tail and laughed evilly, well it sounded evil.

"That is so rude. Wher did you learn manners like that?" Rini stood and dusted herself off.

Caterpie showe her butt at the annoyed girl, and laughed.

"That's it! Pidgey get ready! Oddish return!"

Oddish was pulled back into her pokeball, already asleep again. Pidgey landed in front of her.

Caterpie shimmered and glared.
 
Sean could not let him take not only his Pokemon, but hers too. "Alright, let's just focus on our battle here! Leave her out of this!!" Sean defended Kairi.

They both used the Pokemon that were out of their PokeBalls: Nidoran and Koffing. "Now, kid. Let me bring you to the ground, and all your Pokemon will be mine!" Sean was tired of him going on and on about it. "We'll see about that."
"Enough talk! Koffing, use Smog!" Koffing had started to deflate a toxic cloud of fog, causing Nidoran to cough, aswell as Sean. Nidoran was barely affected, since Nidoran itself was a Poison type. "Is that the best you've got?" Sean did not look one bit afraid of him. "Grrr!" The Rocket MEmber was feeling teased. "Use Poison GAs! And make sure you get it right!" Koffing deflated another cloud of gas, which was purple this time. Sean kept coughing, as the gas was infact toxic to people too. The Rocket person was not affected though, and neither was Nidoran, still standing up fine. "This isn't happening! Losing to a stupid brat!" Even though he wasn't, since he was 14 and nearly 6ft tall. "What's the matter? Losing not your thing?" Sean had laughed, gloating. "Nidoran, use Peck." Nidoran had aimed right towards the weak spot of Koffing, and headed towards it with the sharp point of the horn ready to sting. Once hit, Koffing had started to turn rather queazy, exhaling more gas. Sean was coughing more than ever now, as his breath turned less stronger each breath he took. "That's...so...nasty...ugh!" Sean took deep gasps each time, and searched for his air freshener in his bag. Then he found it, spraying it all across the area of Koffing, putting out the gas. "Nice trick, kid." the Team Rocket worker was annoyed now, and was getting him once he didn't expect it. "Now, use Tackle before that Nidoran notices you." he was sneaky. Koffing had levitated swiftly towards Nidoran, which was facing Sean, incase he would get hurt by Koffings suprise attacks. Sean turned around, and noticed Koffing get close. "Quick! Use Leer before it gets you, Nidoran!" Nidoran then turned its head from Sean, towards Koffing, and gave a look of terror, with its eyes flashing gold. The Team Rocket guy was nerved now. "Hurry, use Peck!" Nidoran charged up to Koffing, with the horn pointed and sharp. Koffing was then jabbed right on the skull symbol, which had then stopped Koffing from levitating, and exhaling one final cloud of gas, and falling to the ground. "I can't believe it! Some stupid noob beat me!!"

Sean was proud of Nidoran, and stroked the non-spiky part of its fur. The battle was over, and Sean had won. However, this did not stop the Rocket worker, which was creeping towards Sean. Nidoran gave an evil look of scorn towards him, making him run out the side of the cave Sean had came from. As for Sean, he retreated Nidoran and carried on, he was near the exit.
 
@FlareonFan - Congratulations Nidoran grew to Level 5

@Rii - If you want to catch the shiny caterpie (I'm assuming thats what it is) you will need one hell of a battle post. Just giving you fair warning.
 
But Pikachu wasn't with Kairi though. It had ran away.

***

Kairi was still looking for Pikachu though. She couldn't find it,"Pikachu!" She called. There was no answer. Kairi was getting kinda worried. She had no idea though, that Pikachu was with Sean.

***

The whole way though the cave Pikachu was protecting Sean from Rocket members. Everytime they ran into one, Pikachu would shock the Rocket and send it flying. Pikachu led Sean out of the cave.
 
Kairi's Pikachu had led Sean to the exit of the cave. The light looked so beautiful, since Mt. Moon was dark and he was in there for over an hour. "Thank you, Pikachu. Maybe you should wait for Kairi to get back." Sean stood by the side of the cave exit, waiting for Kairi to come running up.
 
Pikachu shoke it's head no saying,"Pika pika." He tried to get passed Sean so he could get away.
 
Here's 'Pie' in your eye

( I plan on it :P )


Rini and the ( unknown to her ) shiny Caterpie tried to stare the other down.

"I'm gonna capture you Caterpie. But you know that right?" Rini pointed,as if to emphasise this.

Caterpie shot some string in her face, causing the girl to sputter.

"Don't you dare laugh." Rini ripped the silk off and turned to glare at Pidgey. "Go tackle it!"

Caterpie dodged the attack, and Pidgey found himsef slamming headfirst into a tree, and getting his beak stuck in the bark. He pulled slightly, then braced his feet against the tree and pulled harder.

Caterpie wiggled her way up the tree, and onto a branch directly over Pidgey. She then loosened an apple from the upper branches, took a bite, and dropped it onto the bird's head.

Pidgey managed to twist around to glare up at Caterpie, who was acting like she was at the best party in the world.

"Don't just stand there Pidgey! Do...... something." Rini stomped her foot, in a childish-like manner.

Pidgey rolled his eyes at his trainer, and chirped in an annoyed way. It was like he was telling her if she didn't like it do something herself. Still he managed to pull a clawed foot behind him and swing it around, kicking some sand directly onto the branch Caterpie was.

The sand attack smacked Caterpie in the eyes and mouth, leaving the bug both sputtering to try and be rid of the sand in her mouth, and wiping her stinging eyes.

"Break free Pidgey!" Rini yelled. "Come on, pull!"

Pidgey finally managed to free himself, and flapped hard to get into the air once more. Finally he soared above the branch Caterpie was on.

"Tackle it now!" Rini yelled. "Hurry, before she can get away!"

Pidgey charged forward, knocking Caterpie from her place, and into a nearby bush.

Pidgey landed, and waited in front of the berry bush for Caterpie to emerge.

"Wait for it....." Rini cautioned.

Caterpie zipped from the bush, a tackle aimed at Pidgey's chest.

"Dodge it!" Rini yelled, almost not catching the movement in time.

Luckly Pidgey was more adpt at seeing the fast movements of prey, and dodged out of the way of first one tackle, then another that was aimed for his back.

By now Caterpie was getting a little winded, and it was showing in her hard breathing.

"Almost...." Rini whispered. "Tackle it Pidgey! Then carry it into the air!"

Pidgey dodged another tackle, this one slower then the others. He then flapped his wings and charged forward, as Caterpie did the same.

The met with a loud crash in the middle, and Caterpie was pushed back. Just enough for Pidgey to get his claws around her middle and lift her into the air.

Caterpie was visibly winded now, and was unable to struggle much, though she did try repeatdily to gnaw on Pidgey's legs to get him to release her.

"Take her up high and drop her!" Rini grinned, as Caterpie's eyes widened in shock.

Pidgey soared above the treeline and dropped Caterpie, who curled into a ball, and braced herself for the landing that wouldn't happen.

Rini wouldn't let it. "Go, pokeball!" she threw an empty ball at the still falling bug, and caught her mid-air.

Caterpie was sucked into the pokeball, and both fell to the ground.

The pokeball then began to shake violently. From sided to side as both Pidgey and Rini watched, with said girl gnawing her bottom lip in nerviousness.
 
@Rii - sorry, it needs a little bit more for a shiny... but you've got another go because it was a decent post.

'The pokeball shook violently, before a bright light erupted out of it to reveal the shiny caterpie. It looked angrily at Rini and shot her in the face with a string shot. Caterpie then turned back to Pidgey as if it wanted to finish the battle...'
 
Caterpie! Round 2

( wow, tougher than I thought. Ok here goes. )


Rini ripped the string stot from her face and glared at the bug. "This is far from over. Right Pidgey?" she glanced over at her bird, where he and Caterpie were facing off.

Maybe the off color made it stronger, insteed of weaker. Rini thought. "You still up for it Pidgey?"

The bird chirped weakly, but he actually looked rather happy.

"No tricks now." Rini retorted. "This is it. All or nothing. Though you're getting tired as well Caterpie, I have no intention of throwing this battle."

Caterpie was still breathing hard, even so she somehow managed to remain standing. She shot forward fast, much more than Rini expected she could in her current state.

"Pidgey, dodge!"

It was too late however as Caterpie's tackle landed a direct hit.

Pidgey staggered back, almost to the point of collapse. However he wouldn't let himself be beaten by a bug, it was a disgrace to all birds. He struggled to stay conscious.

"Pidgey, are you ok?" Rini yelped.

Caterpie could barely move, that last attack had drained her remaining addrelin. She stood there painting.

"Pidgey, Tac...." Rini glanced at the bug, who looked as if she could keel over any moment. "Tap her with your wing."

Pidgey strolled up to Caterpie, a smug look on his face.

Caterpie shot string in his face.

Pidgey wacked her with his wing.....hard.

"I said easy." Rini said shocked. "Weaken her not kill her."

Caterpie flew back and towards the river. If she fell in, she'd probably drown.

Rini gasped. She had to try, once more. "Please...... Pokeball go!"

The pokeball hit Caterpie, knocking it across the small expanse of water, and pulling her inside.

Rini crossed her fingers as she watched and squesed her eyes shut, waiting and hoping for a ding.

Pidgey calmely preened his feathers, as though he couldn't care less.
 
Warren looked on, confused, as Mankey's Pokeball slowly stopped rocking with a faint 'ding'. Liv had been helping him to his feet - she couldn't have thrown it, so who had? As Warren wondered, he heard a faint snickering coming from behind him. Slowly turning round, he had his suspicions horribly realised.
"Guy," he spat as he saw the smirking red-head, "Can you actually catch Pokémon on your own? Or do you just wait for other people to fight them first?" Guy ignored him, picking up the ball. Warren stepped forwards, wincing at the pain.
"Mankey belongs to me," he said angrily, "So does Rattata. I fought them both, you just sneaked up and stole them!" Guy stuck out his tongue at Warren, before barging past him and strolling towards Mount Moon.
"Why don't you come and get them, then?" he taunted. Warren, rather predictably, fell for his teasing and started towards Guy, stumbling at the pain. Slowly, he realised that he would be unable to manage more than a slow stumble. Guy smirked.
"Well, if you don't want it, I'll be on my way then." he grinned, marching away at a speed that Warren knew he would be unable to match. That didn't stop him trying, though. After watching him take about five minutes to get less than a metre, Liv came up behind him and slipped his arm over her shoulder. He shook his head in protest, but she just pulled him on.
"This way, we might just catch that slimeball," she muttered, blushing (in anger?) "So just swallow your pride and pick up your feet!" Warren smiled gratefully, but he realised that his chances of catching up to Guy were slim, at best. Gritting his teeth, he put a little more energy into his stride. There was no way he was going to let Guy get away with this...

OOC: Guy used Taunt! Its super effective!
Warren used Fall over! Warren is hit with Recoil damage!
Guy fled using Run Away!
 
@Alipeewee -
OOC: Guy used Taunt! Its super effective! Warren used Fall over! Warren is hit with Recoil damage!
Guy fled using Run Away!
Hahahahaha, what about Liv's helping hand? Seriously though good post.

@Rii - That'll do me, good post

Congratulations you caught a level 5 Caterpie

Heres Route 4:
Route 4

Number of Posts: 2-3

Description: A path running from Mt Moon to Cerulean City. There are a few trainers dotted along this route, as well as a number of wild pokémon.

What can you do in a Route?

Generally the main two things you can do on a route are capturing pokémon and battling trainers. You can do many other things, you know free will and all that... Anyways, you cannot meet any of the other RPers, and everyone have fun.

Note - The Meowth in this area cannot speak in human, trust me I've researched it extensively.

Note - the title specifying the rarity of a pokémon refers to how hard a pokémon is to catch. i.e. a much better post is required to catch an uncommon pokémon than to catch a common pokémon.
How I level the pokémon you're catching will depend on how good your post is. When you're trying to catch a pokémon, you cannot decide if you catch it. When trying to catch a pokémon you have to finish your post off when you throw the pokéball and wait for my response telling you if the capture was successful or not. You cannot continue until you know that it was caught. In battles, I will level up your pokémon depending on the quality of your battle post.

Long road ahead

Rini kept her eyes shut and fingers crossed until she heard the familiar "Ding" of a suscessful capture.

Her eyes widened and she dropped to her knees. "Wow, that was tough. Isn't it great though Pidgey? We won."

There was no sound from behind her.

"Pidgey?"

Rini glanced back to see her bird on the ground with a sick look to his face. There next to him was a happy Weedle, munching on some leaves.

"Pidgey! Are you ok?" she made to go to her pokemon, and several Kakuna, and a few more Weedle appeared. "You can't do that." she growled.

One such Weedle attacked Rini, but she twisted to the side in time to avoid being stung. "Great, Pidgey's poisoned and I can't get to him. Oddish is a little tired, and there's...."

Rini took off sprinting and lept over the small river, just barely making it to the other side, and snagging Caterpie's pokeball, before turning and leaping back.

"Go, Caterpie!" she released her newest addition into the poison pokemon's midst. "You too Oddish!"

Both pokemon appeared looking tired. "Guys I really need you to help Pidgey ok?"

Caterpie and Oddish brefly glanced at one another, as though sizing the other up.

"Caterpie, string shot!" Rini told the weird colored bug. "Oddish, acid!"

Caterpie spit the sticky goo from her mouth, and Oddish released an acid attack upon the Kakuna.

The string shot managed to tangle up the Weedle, and the acid annoyed the Kakuna.

All of this was enough however for Rini to get to her Pidgey and admister an antidote.

"Oddish, return." she pulled back her starter. "Ready guys?" she indicated Caterpie and Pidgey.

They both nodded eagerly.

"Caterpie tackle that Weedle! Pidgey you take the other!"

Caterpie rammed into the Weedle, who retailated with a poison sting, causing Rini to have to use another antidote. Pidgey managed to dodge a few poison stings and land a good hit, causing the bug to fly back and out.

"Finish it Caterpie!"

Caterpie jerked forward with a tackle to Weedle's gut, knocking it out.

This left one Weedle and two Kakuna left.

"Caterpie, string shot, then tackle!" she glanced over at Pidgey. "Sand attack!"

Caterpie wrapped up the last Weedle and sent it out with a powerful tackle that connected with it's head. Pidgey launched his sand, temperarely blinding the two Kakuna.

"Caterpie! Pidgey! Double Tackle!"

The two of them managed to work together, and after several tackles between them finished off the Kakuna.

By now it was nearing afternoon, and Rini felt her stomach growl. She glanced up.

The exit to Pewter lay ahead.

"Pidgey and Caterpie! Return." she held out both of their pokeballs, then quickly made her way to the exit.
 
"Come on, Warren, time to get up!" Warren groaned as Liv shook him gently. He winced a little as he sat up, but the pain was mostly gone. He groaned as he stood.
"What time is it?" he yawned, "It's still dark." Liv smiled as she picked up his sleeping bag and shoved it into his arms.
"I woke you up early," she said, "So that we could catch up to Guy a little. Here," she said, tossing him a small thermos flask, "This should wake you up."
"What, coffee?" he muttered, opening the lid. He took a sniff, then flinched. That was not coffee. Liv hesitated, then grinned a little guiltily.
"Well, three parts coffee, one part Awakening." Warren spluttered a little as he took a sip.
"Awakening? Isn't that for Pokémon?" Liv shrugged. Warren laughed, then took a gulp, gasping as it burned his throat. He tossed it back and packed up the few things that he'd bothered to get out. After waiting ten minutes while Liv fiddled with her hair, they set off again, Warren now walking unaided, but a little slower than normal. The sun came up as they walked and illuminated the path before them. It wasn't long until they came upon what looked like the remains of a camp. A doused fire, its embers still glowing lay in the middle of a clearing and after a short search Warren unearthed a half-eaten Oran berry.
"I guess we're catching up," he muttered under his breath. More loudly, he called out to Liv, "We should get moving again. We're closing the gap." Liv nodded.
"Warren, when you catch him...what exactly are you going to do?" Warren bit his lip, an unusually nervous mannerism for him.
"I don't know," he finally said, after a long pause. "But I'm not going to leave until I've got Mankey and Rattata back." Liv nodded, smiling a little.
"Just don't do anything stupid, 'kay?" Warren gave her a dark look and started off again into the dark depths of the tunnels under Mount Moon.
