Neiko Star: You are definitely the most creative I've seen with Confusion. Congrats, you have captured a level 11 male Spheal!

 

[ShadowYashi]

"Pineco!"

"Ash! Get down from there right this instant!"

"Pineco Pineco Pine Piiiiinne"

Ash, Misa's Pineco, was happily swinging himself back and forth in one of the many Maple Tree's in Maple City. Lord knows how he got up there in the first place, Misa and Bell, her Bellsprout, their minds had been elsewhere and they were awed by the sweet smelling town, it was so peaceful and cozy and the houses were so tiny! But then again, Misa lived in a big-ass mansion, so even medium sized houses were tiny to her. Amisa had just received Ash not too long ago and she was still trying to get used to his happy persona and Bell had also been captured not too long ago, though she seemed more calm and down to earth than the quirky Pineco.

"Ledy? Ledyba?"

The Ledyba looked confused, it blinked at Ash, who was completely oblivious to the ladybug floating before it. "Ledyyy" It buzzed in annoyance, it had to finish harvesting and this Pineco was in the way "Ohh I'm sorry Ledyba!" Misa shouted up to the bug, before she glanced at Bell "Can you use your Vine Whip and get Ash down please?" Bell nodded and pointed its leaves at the oblivious swinging Pine, brown vines sprouted from its appendages and they gently wrapped around Ash's torso, lowering the bug safely into Misa's arms "Sorry about this Ledyba!" she called back up to the bug, who huffed in annoyance and buzzed off, collecting the syrup from the tree Pineco had been in.

"That wasn't funny Ash, your holding up the Pokemon's work" she scolded lifting Ash up to her eye level, but Ash just smiled coyly in response.

"Pinnnnnecoooo!"

Misa's eyes widened when Ash began to grow white, she was at a loss of what to do and just held the bug away from her face at arms length "Pinnneee Cooo!" Ash then exploded, covering Misa in a plume of smoke and Bell stood off to the side sighing, shaking her Bell shaped head in disbelief. This was the 3rd time Ash had blown up randomly on Misa today "Pineco. Pineco!" Ash sang happily in Misa's arms, seemingly unaffected by the self destruct "Ohh not again" she groaned with a light cough while fanning the smoke away.

"Pine Pineco"

Ash snickered at the frown etched on Misa's face, once the cloud of smoke dispersed and Bell just sighed again "That wasn't funny Ash." But Ash just ignored her and laughed louder "Pinne Pinneeco!"

"Hehe That's a cool looking Pineco you've got there."

"Say cough What?"

Amisa, Ash and Bell blinked at the boy who stood before them, his hair was black and looked greasy and untamed, a net was in his hand and he wore a blue button up shirt with tan shorts, his square frames slipped down to his nose, which seemed to be running profusely "Eww, has this guy ever heard of hygiene" Misa grimaced at the thought before glancing back at them boy "Your Pineco" he pointed to Ash with one hand, while the other tightened around his net "Its cool, how'd you get a gold one? I thought they were blue?" Misa blinked again before glancing at Ash and answering the boy "Oh umm I got him from Professor Leaf" the boy hummed lightly before his face set into a determined stare, his glasses even shined ominously "I want it."

"Exscues me?"

"I'm Brent, bug collector and I want your Pineco, hand it over" he demanded pointing to Ash, who Misa had clutched tightly and hugged it "No way kid, go get your own, Ash is mine" the boy glared at her from behind his square frames "I don't care, I want yours" he hissed stomping a foot in annoyance "No means no you brat, now back off, I've got more important things to do, then argue with some kid about my Pokemon" she snarled beginning to walk away "How about a battle then" the collector called out to her "If I win, you let me keep that Pineco" Misa rolled her eyes before sighing "Fine, but if I win, you bug off and go do something with your hair, you look disgusting. Bell, get in there" Bell nodded and slinked her wiry body onto the field.

Brent ignored her comment about his hair and pulled out a Pokeball "Butterfree go!" Butterfree was a large Butterfly, with two black stripes running down the side of its wings Misa stared at the Butterfree, before pulling out her Pokedex and scanning the large bug.

Butterfree.
The Butterfly Pokemon.
It loves the honey of flowers and can locate flower patches that have even tiny amounts of pollen.
​

"Alright Butterfree, start off with Confusion!"

"Freeeee"

Butterfree's eyes began to glow blue and Bell felt herself being lifted off the ground and being slammed none too gently into a nearby Maple Tree "Beellllsprout" she groaned sitting up and shaking her head from the abrupt slamming "Grr Use Vine Whip Bell" Bell nodded and aimed her leaves at Butterfree and two long vine shot out and whipped at Butterfree's face, causing the bug to cry out and glare at Bell "Freeeee" Brent frowned and pointed at Bell "Confusion again!" Butterfree's eye's began to glow once more and a blue beam of light was fired at Bell.

"Dodge it Bell and use Vine Whip again!"

Using her, flexible wiry body, Bell easily managed to dodge the Psychic attack and followed up with another lashing from Vine Whip "Ha! You'll never beat Bell if the only attack you Butterfree only knows confusion" Misa taunted giving a victorious smirk to a frowning Brent who mumbled "Air Cutter" Butterfree nodded and Misa's eyes went wide as Butterfree's wings began to glow and she flapped them twice, causing twin blue blades of wind came flying at Bell, hitting her dead on and sending the flower tumbling back into a tangle of limbs.

"What was that you were saying about Confusion being my only attack" Brent asked with a sly smile and Misa glowered "Use Growth Bell then follow up with Wrap!"

"Sprouuuuttt" Bell hummed while her entire body glowed green and she suddenly felt strengthened, ready to follow up with the next attack, but Brent wasn't having any of that so he called out to his Butterfree "Air Cutter again!" Butterfree's wings glowed and with one mighty flap, and several blades of wind quickly shot out, aimed at Bell "Dodge em Bell and then grab onto Butterfree with Vine Whip" Bell quickly made her way to Butterfree, jumping, ducking and veering out of the way of the blades "Bellsprout!" Bell's Vine's shot out toward Butterfree and they latched tightly onto the bug's neck.

"Shake it off you Butterfree!"

"Freereeeee"

Butterfree began to flail about wildly in the air, causing Bell, to be flug about, but she was holding on tightly "Grab onto it with Wrap!" Bell gave a determined shout and her vines soon began to tighten on Butterfree's neck, while the bug continued to flail "Don't give up Bell, hang tight! Wrap harder!" Bell's grip continued to steadily tighten around Butterfree's neck and Butterfree's flailing began to slow.

"Bell Sprouut"

"Freee...Free...F-Free"

Butterfree's wings began to flap weakly as it lowered itself and the dangling Bellsprout to the ground, who was still squeezing its neck, the vine's around it's neck were cutting off it's oxygen, Butterfree couldn't breathe "Butterfree!" Brent cried out running over to his fallen bug and gently rubbing her neck "O-Okay! You win, just let Butterfree go!" Bell looked to Misa, who nodded and her vines slowly released themselves from Butterfree "Good job Bell, now let's go, we've got a gym leader to face" Brent frowned at Misa's retreating form, before looking back at his Butterfree and mumbling soothing words as the bug sucked in precious air.

 

[Wolfwhispers]

ShadowYashi: Welcome to the RP! Congrats, Bellsrpout grew to level 14 and learned Sleep Powder!

 

[Royal]

After the Pokeball's shaking finally calmed, I smiled and cursed silently. Heracross was panting in the boat and I decided I should let him rest. Taking out his Pokeball, I recalled him and watched as a red light transported him into his Pokeball. Smiling, I put both Heracross's and Squirtle's Pokeball on my belt. Then I took the ores of the boat and started to row back to the dock.

Finally arriving, I pulled the boat back to its spot with the help of the River Man (yes, I made up a nickname for him) and quickly said my goodbye. Then, when I noticed the group of Sudowoodo again, I took out my new Pokemon's Pokeball and smiled. This'll be some good practice for it.

"Squirtle, go!" I called, throwing its Pokeball into the air. After a flash of light, the little blue turtle appeared at my feet. On its face was a determined smile and it then clung to my leg with affection. "Hey Squirtle, you ready for a battle?" I asked, looking down at the little Pokemon with a friendly smile.

Squirtle nodded its head and jumped off my leg to face the Sudowoodo. "Alright, let's start off with Bubble!" I shouted. Squirtle quickly nodded and opened his mouth. On cue, Squirtle shot out bubbles at the tree Pokemon, but it wasn't so fast. It only hit one of the Sudowoodo and it turned to look at Squirtle angrily. I winced. Squirtle's attack wasn't so strong against the Sudowoodo. Damn!

"SUDO!" the tree Pokemon shouted, bending down and running for Squirtle.

"Dodge!" I shouted, but my new Pokemon wasn't fast enough. Sudowoodo hit it right in the middle of its tiny shell.

"SQUIR!" was its hurt shout as it rolled back to my feet.

I looked up at the angry Sudowoodo who was ready to fight. Then, I bent down to Squirtle and pulled him to his feet. "You alright, Squirtle?" I asked. My tiny turtle painfully nodded. "Alright, I have a plan Squirtle so let's go," I watched as Squirtle nodded and walked back out to the battlefield. The Sudowoodo looked angrily at Squirtle.

"Now," I cleared my throat. "Use Bubble on the ground!" I shouted. Squirtle nodded and bent down to spray a fountain of bubbles at the rocky ground. Sudowoodo took it as an advantage and ran at Squirtle, knocking it back to my feet once more.

"It's alright Squirtle," I soothed. "Just a few more attacks and the battle will be over." I pointed at the Sudowoodo and whispered silently, "I had you hit the ground so it can get wet. When it's wet, it's easy for Pokemon like Sudowoodo to slip and fall. Use it to your advantage." Squirtle smiled at my explanation and walked back out to the battlefield. The Sudowoodo looked angrier now that its opponents didn't back down and it charged again at Squirtle.

"Squir," my little Pokemon said frighteningly. It must have already forgotten what I said because of its fright. Then, the Sudowoodo hit a wet spot on the ground and slipped, landing on its back.

"Sud!" it cursed.

Squirtle smiled and looked at me quickly. "Use Bubble," I told him. "This time fire at Sudowoodo." Squirtle nodded and opened its mouth, spraying a large amount of bubbles at Sudowoodo.

"WOOD!" the tree Pokemon shouted angrily as it pushed back and hit by Squirtle's bubble attack. It flailed while still on its back, trying to get up but the muddy ground seemed to not allow it.

I smiled. "Squirtle, run at it and use Withdraw," I shouted. Squirtle nodded and ran across the muddy ground at the Sudowoodo. As the tree Pokemon got to its feet, Squirtle let out an excited "SQUIRTLE!" before tucking itself into its shell. Squirtle fell to the ground, but with the momentum, flew across the muddy field. Sudowoodo quickly jumped up to avoid the rocket shell.

"Now!" I shouted. Squirtle popped out of its shell and turned to face Sudowoodo who was still in the air. It shouted its name, surprised. "Bubble!" I commanded. Squirtle opened its mouth once more and shot out a load of bubbles. The Sudowoodo could not get away in the air and was quickly knocked in the back with the bubbles.

"SUDOWOODO!" it shouted painfully. It finally crashed to the floor with a thud and didn't get up.

"Yes!" I said, flailing my hands around. "Squirtle, you did it!"

"Squir, squir!" it shouted triumphantly.

I raised his Pokeball and smiled. "You did great, return." I spoke. A bright red beam shot out of the Pokeball and engulfed Squirtle, transporting it back inside its little sphere home. I looked at the Pokeball. "Thanks for being part of the team."

Chapter Five: Part III

Renka stared at the Pokeball in her hand. I've caught three Pokemon so far...that means I only have two Pokeballs left. I better buy some more when I get to the next town.

"Hey, you!"

Renka looked up. A boy was running towards her. She nonchalantly stuck her foot out; the boy tripped, falling flat on the face. He got up angrily and rubbed his head.

"Hey! What's your problem?" he demanded.

"My problem is that you came running at me like a gorilla," Renka retorted. "It's legal self-defense."

He glared at her. "Yeah, right! Fine, then." He fumbled with his pockets. "I challenge you to a battle!" He thrust his Pokeball straight in her face.

"Fine," Renka growled. She took out her own Pokeballs. "But don't go crying to your mom when you lose."

He shot her a death glare. Renka snickered silently. He had a lot to learn when it came to venom. He could what, scare a Rattata? She'd show him what a real dirty look was!

Renka glared at him with all the muderous intent she could muster. He jumped, wincing, as though her look had pierced him physically. He stared at her in shock.

Renka smirked. "Well? Weren't we going to battle?"

He shuddered, then released his Pokemon. A large bee Pokemon appeared. It raised its sharp stingers menacingly.

"image removed"
Beedrill #15 : Poison Bee Pokemon
Bug/Poison
It is extremely territorial. It uses the three venemous stingers on its forelegs and tail to defeat its foes.

Renka gritted her teeth. Another bug. What is up with these things? She threw her own Pokeball into the air. With the usual flash, her newly-acquired Spheal appeared, bouncing happily.

"Ha! You can't beat Beedrill with that floppy thing!" the boy scoffed. "Now, Beedrill, use Fury Attack!"

Beedrill dived in swiftly, jabbing at Spheal with its front stingers. Spheal winced in pain as each hit slashed at its flesh. Luckily, its thick coat of blubber took most of the damage. Renka opened her mouth to give an order.

"Too slow!" the boy said triumphantly. "Beedrill, one more time!"

Beedrill flew down to slash at Spheal again. However, this time, Renka had a plan.

"Now! Use Powder Snow!" she ordered.

Spheal squealed eagerly as a small storm of snow brewed around it, emprisonning Beedrill who screeched as the cold wind froze its wings.

"Use Water Gun!" Renka commanded.

Spheal opened its mouth wide and shot out a powerful blast of water. It hit Beedrill squarely on the wings, and the boy watched in horror as one of them split open.

"B-Beedrill," he choked. "Use Poison Sting."

Just before it hit the ground, Beedrill concentrated all of its last efforts in a single Poison Sting, shot out of the stinger on its tail. It flew towards Spheal at full speed.

"Spheal, use Defense Curl!" Renka said quickly.

Spheal obeyed, rolling up into a ball and hardening its body. The Poison Sting hit it and broke into a million pieces.

"I won," Renka said smugly.

"No way," the boy said, wide-eyed at its Beedrill, lying unconsciously on the ground, one wing fluttering.

"Uh, yes way," Renka said, 'in your face' style.

He hung his head. Slowly, he returned his Pokemon to its Pokeball. Then, as though a sudden thought had struck him, he turned to Renka and asked excitedly, "Can I see your Pokemon?"

Renka raised her eyebrows. She released all of her Pokemon: Skorupi, Hoppip and Ledyba appeared.

The boy gaped in admiration in front of Ledyba. "Wow," he breathed. "It's so...so...beautiful." Ledyba cocked its head. Renka rolled her eyes. "Can I trade you for it?"

Renka jumped, startled. "Trade? Ledyba? Against what?"

He dug into his pockets and took out one other Pokeball. "I have a Mareep, if you want. Otherwise, I have a Zubat." Renka nearly choked.

"I'll take the Mareep offer," Renka decided. She had never like Ledyba very much anyway. After all, she had caught it when she was in 'sugar mode'.

The boy grinned. He handed Mareep's Pokeball to her. "Here. By the way, I'm Colin," he added.

Renka shoved Ledyba's Pokeball into his hand. "And I'm Renka." She turned to Ledyba itself. "I'll be giving you to this guy here, all right?"

It nodded. It liked this boy who gave her compliments.

Renka sighed, staring at her newest Pokemon. Mareep, huh?

 

[The Scientist]

Chapter V: When Nature Attacks! Part 1

Compared to the expanse and action of Route 1, Route 2 was quite plain and straight... almost boring. As he and Goliath walked, Neiteio noticed that the red and orange maple tree lane was gradually becoming a rocky valley. Ignoring the detour to the well-advertised fishing pond, Neiteio was able to reach the end of the Route before noon. But as he approached, he didn't see any buildings marking the outskirts of the next town. On the contrary, he saw... more trees?

A dense cluster of odd-looking trees was blocking the path. They trembled as he approached, almost as if they were alive... Neiteio suddenly noticed that the things had feet! He pulled out his PokeDex and scanned the "trees", a quick test to determine if they were Pokemon or not.

"Sudowoodo, the Imitation Pokemon:

Sudowoodo pretends to be a plant, but it is afraid of water, and its composition is closer to a rock than to a plant. Sudowoodo have the habit of pretending to be a tree in order to blend in with their surroundings. During winter, when its green forearms do not blend in with the trees, Sudowoodo may migrate en masse to more southern areas."​

"This must be their annual migration spot... Just my luck."

They were so tightly packed, and shaking so violently that Neiteio didn't even bother trying to squeeze past them. "Oy, Goliath," he called. Goliath snapped his pincers in anticipation, expecting a battle royale. Instead, Neiteio asked him to "talk to them, ask them if they could move out of the way."

Goliath was clearly disappointed, but slowly advanced. He reached the edge of the artificial forest, but before he could deliver his message he caught a swift Low Kick that sent him rolling backwards. Knowing that Goliath would try to fight a clearly ridiculous battle, Neiteio quickly recalled him to his PokeBall, and held it tightly in his hand as Goliath fought. The PokeDex said that Sudowoodo don't like water, and the fishing pond was conveniently close... He hated having to backtrack, but it appeared to be the only way he could get past the fake trees.

He started walking back, complaining to himself that the return trip seemed to take twice as long as the first one, but he finally returned to the tree-lined fork that led to the fishing pond. The "pond" actually turned out to be a huge picturesque lake with a large dock and larger cabin. A few people were out on the lake: rowboats, speedboats, sailboats, Surfing Pokemon. Everyone outside seemed occupied with their own business, so Neiteio headed into the cabin for information.

He was automatically greeted by a cheerful old man wearing a vest covered in lures. "Well hey there! Care to try your hand at some fishin'?"

Neiteio examined the cabin's decor. This guy was obviously a fishing fanatic: various rods and lures hung on the walls, alongside wall mounts of fish Pokemon. Among them, Neiteio noted a Mantine, Gorebyss, and Relicanth. Storing this information in his organic database, he responded to the inquiry.

"Actually, no. I can't get through Route 2, a bunch of Sudowoodo are in the way..."

The fisherman nodded. "Been gettin' a lot of traffic 'cause of them pests. I guess you'll be wantin' a water Pokemon to remove 'em, right?"

"Yeah, I figured that would be the best plan. I heard that they run from water."

"Well, this lake's chock full of water Pokemon for you to catch! A boat rental'll run you from

1000 to

10000, depending on how fancy you want to get."

It suddenly struck Neiteio that he would have no way to weaken and capture whatever he caught with the rod, and Pinsir can't swim. He relayed his thoughts to the fisherman, who nodded as if he had heard all this before.

"Aye, Pinsir... Yeah, you can't fight any lake Pokemon with one of those unless it jumps in your boat! Hey, if you still need a water Pokemon, I can rent one o' mine out to you. When you get to wherever you're goin', just have the Nurse at that Center transfer the PokeBall to the Maple City Center. Sound good?"

Neiteio considered the proposal. He didn't feel ready to handle taking care of two Pokemon yet, but he had no means to catch the water Pokemon he needed.

"Sure. How much?"

The fisherman smiled now that he had scored a business deal. "

5000 flat,

15,000 deposit."

Neiteio made no physical show of how much he was suffering parting from his money, but after riffling through his wallet, he paid the man the amount.

Trying to ease his pain, he looked around the room some more. "So, what Pokemon can I expect? One of those?" Neiteio pointed to an large orange crab Pokemon mounted on a display stand.

The fisherman laughed. "Nay, you won't be gettin' any Kingler, that's for sure. You'll get whoever's at the top of the box! Gahaha!" The old man chuckled and left the counter, disappearing into a closet. He returned momentarily, holding a blue PokeBall that had black criss-cross markings on it: a Net Ball.

He placed the ball on the counter and handed Neiteio a clipboard. "Now just fill out this form here... Your deposit will be sent to your account when she gets back to Maple City... and good luck gettin' past them Sudowoodo!"

Neiteio filled out the requisite information and took the Net Ball before nodding at the fisherman and leaving in silence.

"She? I wonder what he gave me?"

[ShadowYashi]

"Umm Hello? Is anyone here?"

Misa tentatively stepped into the gym and glanced around Bell stood by her side, the poison flower glanced around curiously at the grass gym, she enjoyed the feel of the soil beneath her roots "Sprout?" her eyes lit up as she implanted her roots deeply within the nutritious soil "Sprout! Sprout!" Bell waved her leaves happily and smiled up at Misa, who looked down at the flower in confusion "Huh? Is something wrong Bell?" Bell responded by shaking her head no "Are you hurt or something?" another shake of her head "Then what's wrong?"

"Haha You don't know much about grass Pokemon do you?"

"What?"

Misa lifted her head to meet amused green eyes "Your Bellsprout likes the soil from my Gym, that's why she's so happy" Misa blinked "Ohh" she mumbled to herself "Well... I'm kinda new to this Pokemon thing, so I don't know much" Kent nodded and gave Misa a warm smile "I take it your here for a battle then?" pulling out Ash's Pokeball Misa nodded "Yeah..."

"Alright then." Kent walked to the other side of the grassy field and tossed a Pokeball to the ground "Bulbasaur lets go!" Kent's Pokeball snapped open and a small green quadrupedly animal popped out, with various green spots on its green skin, and it had a flower bud growing out of it's back Misa took out her Pokedex and scanned it.

Bulbasaur
The Seed Pokemon.
For some time after its birth, it grows by gaining nourishment from the seed on its back
​

"Ash start off with Take Down!" moments after Ash appeared from his Pokeball, he shot off and slammed his body into Bulbasaur, who skidded back a few feet, before he scowled at the abrupt attack "Vine Whip!" Bulbasaur barked in response and two vines potruded for the base of his bulb and slammed into Ash, whipping the Pinecone harshly "Pinneco!" he winced slightly from the whipping, but looked okay "Ash Take Down again!"

"Pinnnnecooo!"

Ash nodded and charged at Bulbasaur "Dodge it Bulbasaur and use Leech Seed!" Bulbasaur leapt out of the way of the charging Pineco and Misa watched as a seed began to sprout from Bulbasaur's bulb. It then shot out to Ash, who was then wrapped with miniature vines that were restraining it the vines then glowed and started to suck energy from him. "Cooo" he cried out as his health was slowly being sapped "Now Bulbasaur Use Vine Whip!" with a cry of "Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur brought out two vines from below the base of his bulb and began whipping Ash.

"Saur! Bubasaur!"

"Co.Co.Co" Ash winced after everytime the vines struck and it didn't help that his health was getting sapped as well, very troublesome indeed "Oh no Ash!" Misa bit her lip and watched the battle warily "I need to get rid of those vines, otherwise Ash won't stand a chance" Kent smiled to himself "She wasn't kidding about not knowing much about Pokemon... I'm pretty sure her Pineco know's Rapid Spin, she could've easily used that to get free from the Leech Seed" he shook his head "Oh well, its her loss. Now Bulbasaur use Leaf Storm!"

"Bulllbasauuur"

Bulbasaur's Bulb glowed green as a giant twister, full of leaves, shot towards Ash, engulfing the Pine Cone and trapping him and lifting him in the air, tossing Ash around like a rag doll as leaf blades cut at his skin. "Pineco!" he groaned and Misa grimaced, at a loss on what to do, wracking her brain for the other attack's Ash knew "Umm lets see... he knows Tackle, Protect, Self Destruct, Take Down and Rapid Spin"

"Rapid Spin!" she gasped out before yelling at Ash "That's it Ash! Use your Rapid Spin!"

"Pineco!" Ash nodded and quickly began to spin in place, causing the storm of leaves to disperse and the vines from Leech Seed also fell off his body after he landed on the ground "Heh So you figured it out finally huh?" Kent grinned at Misa, but she just blinked at him in confusion "What'd I figure out?" Kent laughed lightly "Hahaha Don't you know Rapid Spin can be used to dispel the effect's of binding moves, Like Bind, Wrap, Leech Seed, Spikes and a few others" Misa shook her head "No... I didn't know that"

"Well, now you do" he grinned widely and waggled a finger at her in a teasing manner "So use that information wisely, now you get no more freebies from me. Tackle Pineco Bulbasaur!" With a cry of "Saur!" Bulbasaur quickly ran at Ash and slammed his head into the idle Pineco, who was sent flying back across the field "Pineco. Pineco" Ash was beginning to look very tired, that Leech Seed had really drained a fair amount of energy out of him "Tackle again Bulbasaur!"

"Use your Tackle too"

Both Pokemon shot off like rockets and charged at one another, meeting in the middle of the battlefield, where they butted head's, they were both in some sort of stalemate, one trying to push the other back "Hmm that's not going to work... Alright Bulbasaur use Leaf Storm again" Bulbasaur nodded and bounced back, a few feet away from Ash before his Bulb glowed green and leaves shot out at the Pineco "Dodge with Rapid Spin Ash!" Ash nodded and began to spin, veering out of the way and then spinning towards Bulbasaur, intent on ramming the Seed Pokemon "Heh, that's not gonna work" Kent smirked and called out to Bulbasaur.

"Grab it with Vine Whip!" Bulbasaur nodded and grabbed the spinning Ash, lifting the Pineco above his head, rendering his attack useless. "Damn it!" Misa bit her lower lip, nibbling on the rings that were attached to it "Stupid Bulba....saur" Misa's eyes widened as she glanced at the Bulb on its back "I think I know how to beat Bulbasaur! Ash quickly, use Rapid Spin but I want you to umm land on your head okay!" Ash nodded and begun to spin at a rapid pace, Bulbasaur's hold had loosened and Ash was released, in the air, he twisted his body so he would land on his head and managed to fall into Bulbasaur's back, plugging up the hole in its bulb "I'm really sorry about this Ash, but I need you to use Selfdestruct!" Misa told him, somewhat regretfully.

Unfazed by this request, Ash seemed happy to comply "Pineco!" his body began to glow white and both Kent and Bulbasaur's eyes went wide "Crap! Bulbasaur quickly, get him out your bulb before it explodes!"

"Bulba! Bulbasaur!"

Bulbasaur's vine's quickly got to work on trying to tug Ash out of it's Bulb, but the Seed Pokemon was just a few seconds to late and with a loud "Coooooo" Ash exploded, covering the field in dust and smoke. Both Kent and Amisa waited for the smoke to clear before they glanced at the field and their Pokemon, both had fainted, swirls in their eyes, indicating they were no longer able to battle.

"Return Bulbasaur" Kent muttered recalling his fainted Pokemon and Misa did the same, he then tossed down another Pokeball onto the field and Bell stepped up "That was a pretty interesting way to use a Selfdestruct, but I didn't actually think you'd sacrifice your Pokemon. Pretty risky way to win a match, now Chikorita start off with Tackle!" Chikorita was a small green Pokémon. A pale leaf green color with large red eyes and large leaf on the top of its head. It also had a necklace of small green buds around its neck.

Amisa's Pokedex snapped to life.

Chikorita
The Leaf Pokemon
It uses the leaf on its head to determine the temperature and humidity. It loves to sunbathe.
​

"Chiko! Chikoka!"

"Dodge with Wrap Bell!"

"Don't give it anytime to Dodge, grab it with Vine Whip!" Chikorita continued to charge at Bell, who had been planning on using her flexible stem body to snake out of the way, but Chikorita ruined those plans by gripping Bell with its vines "Now toss her high and follow up with Razor Leaf!" Chikorita quickly spun on her heels and sent Bell flying high near the roof of the gym "Chiiikooka!" with quick sucession, not missing a beat at all Chikorita fired several Razor sharp Leaves at the airborne Bell, who got hit with every one and was soon sent spiraling harshly to the ground with a loud thud.

"Bell!" Misa's eyes widened when she saw Bell crash harshly to the ground "Bell are you alright!?"

"Sproout"

Bell slowly stood, she took a shaky breath and glared at Chikorita, who gave a taunting smile "Chiiika" Misa growled "Bell use Sleep Powder!" Bell nodded and took in a big gulp of air, before she fired a bomb of white powder from her Bell shaped head at Chikorita, who stood her ground. Seconds before it hit, the dust exploded and covered Chikorita in it, who inhaled the dust and was instantly knocked out "Good Job Bell! Now use Vine Whip!" Misa failed to catch the sly smile on Kent's face as he watched Bellsprout whip away at Chikorita with its vines.

"Keep it up Bell, try mixing it up with Wrap too, we've gotta wrack in enough damage before Chikorita wakes up" Bell nodded and gave a tiny salute before wrapping one Vine around the snoozing Chikorita and squeezing it tightly, while the other Vine continued its onslaught of whipping.

"Bell. Sprout. Bell. Sprout. Bellsprout!"

Bell continued her squeezing and whipping, managing to rack up a hefty amount of damage, right before Chikorita woke up "Chiikookaa" Chikorita yawned and looked to be unfazed by the fact that it was trapped in Bell's vines "Now Bell give Chikorita a taste of her own medicine, Toss it with Vine Whip!" Kent smirked "I don't think so Quickly Chikorita use your Vine Whip and toss her!" Bell had veered back and managed to toss Chikorita, but not before Chikorita turned the tables and grabbed Bell with its own vines Chikorita flipped in the air and used the momentum of the flip to toss Bellsprout across the field, while Chikorita landed gracefully on the ground "Now while its down, use Synthesis!" Chikorita nodded and began to glow green, replenishing its health while Bell struggled to stand "Now Tackle and then Vine Whip!".

"Damn it" Misa cursed and watched as Bell panted lightly while she stood "Maybe I should've healed her after that battle with Butterfree" she thought frowning as she watched Chikorita tackled Bell back to the ground, then proceeded to lash out on Bell with its Vine Whip "Chi.Ko.Ka! Chi.Ko.Ka! Chi.Ko.Ka!" Chikorita emphasized every hit it made with every shout. Bell looked horrible, once Chikorita stopped pounding the poor flower, she had scratches running along her face and red marks began to form from the whipping.

"You should just give up, your Bellsprout looks ready to pass out kid. Its not good to push your Pokemon pass their limits, they'll dislike you for it"

Misa shook her head no and glared at Kent "No way, Bell's tougher than this and I'm not losing, not my first Gym Battle, no way!" she glanced at Bell, who sat herself up "Bell are you alright? I need you to hang in alittle longer ok" Bell gave a weak nod "Sprouuut" she slowly began to stand "I think I have an Idea Bell, so just stay with me okay" Bell gave another weak nod, she was putting her trust in her trainer "Now start off with Sleep Powder!"

"Ha, we won't try that again, Dodge Chikorita!" Chikorita nodded and leapt out of the way of the bomb of white powder after Bell had fired it off "Now Bell, grab Chikorita with Vine Whip, then use Wrap and make it extra tight!" Bell nodded and shot out her vines at Chikorita, making sure to bind the Leaf Pokemon tightly, so it would be unable to escape this time "Now Use Growth until I tell you to stop but keep a tight grip on Chikorita" Bell began to glow, her binds not loosening from around Chikorita, who struggled to break free "Fine, we don't need Chikorita's vines. Razor Leaf!" Chikorita winced from being squeeze but she still twisted her head around and brought her leaf far back.

"Quick Bell toss her! Then slam it with Vine Whip!"

"Belllsproouuuuut!!!"

With all the strength she could muster, Bell tossed Chikorita upward, causing her to fly straight into the gyms ceiling, hard enough to leave an imprint "C-Chika" Chikorita gasped out when it felt vines wrap tight around her torso and peel her out of the ceiling and slammed her harshly into the ground. A light cloud of dust swept up around Chikorita, who had slowly began to stand albeit shakily and panting from the attack, along with Bell who stood on the opposite side of the field "Oh no, I thought that last attack would do it" Misa cried out, glancing at Bell who looked ready to give up, the flower just wanted to rest and Misa didn't think Bell had anymore energy to pull off anymore attacks "No problem, Chikorita use Synthesis!"

Both Bell and Misa's eyes widened as Chikorita began to glow, if Synthesis finished, they really were done for "Quick Bell one more time Vine Whip!" Bell nodded and weakly lifted her leaves, allowing vines to shoot out and attack Chikorita, only for them to pause in mid air "Bell what's wrong!" Misa cried out, unsure of why she stopped the attack "Bellsprout." Bell pointed to Chikorita, who was in the middle of trying to restore its health with Synthesis, but her entire glowing body seemed to be flickering, like a light switch, until moment's later the flickering stopped and Chikorita fell to the ground with a tired moan "Chiikokaaa" her eyes turned into swirls and Chikorita fainted.

"I...I won" Misa whispered to herself, while Kent looked somewhat disbelieving "Well I'll be damned. She beat me." he whistled appreciatively before recalling his fainted Chikorita and glancing at Bell, who had fallen to her "knees" and was panting heavily "Bell. Sprout. Bellsprout" smiling softly Kent walked over to Misa, who had just recalled Bell "You did a wonderful job Bell, take a nice long rest" Upon reaching Amisa, he extended his hand, giving her's a light shake and dropping the badge in her hand "Congratulations, you've won. So I present you with The Maple Badge, which is proof that you've beaten me, that was a wonderful battle, Your that's one tough Bellsprout you've got there."

Misa nodded "Yeah, I honestly thought I was gonna lose after Chikorita began to use Synthesis again"

Kent chuckled "And you would have lost too, had she not been so exhausted, I think that slam to the roof really did it" Misa laughed "I think so too. Thank you Kent, now I need to get to the Center and heal Bell and Ash" Kent nodded and watched as she ran out the gym, heading straight to the Pokemon Center "Haha I can't believe it. My first Gym Badge" Misa clenched the badge in her hand tightly "Victory certainly is sweet."

 

[Wolfwhispers]

ShadowYashi: Great job! That was certainly one heck of a battle. :) Pineco grew to level and learned Pin Missle! And oh my gosh, Bellsrpout grew to level 15 and learned Poison Powder!

 

[ShadowYashi]

"Okay... So our next destination is Rocky Trails" Misa murmured to Bell, who was now perfectly healthy and walking beside her while they walked down south from Maple Town "Rocky Trail's sounds messy... I hope we don't have to scale a large mountain or something" Misa's nose scrunched up in distaste at the thought "Bellsprout. Bellsprout" Bell nodded in agreement, noticing a large lake up ahead as the Maple Tree's began to disappear, indicating they were moving farther away from Maple City "Bell Bellsprout!" Misa blinked at Bell, who was pointing to a line of Tree's up ahead, they seemed to be blocking the path, so no one could get though.

But these weren't normal tree's, they looked to be Pokemon. It had a brown, log-shaped body with some yellow spots on it and short legs with toe-less feet, along with club shaped hands and a forked "branch" on top of its head. Misa was unsure so she took out her Pokedex and scanned one.

Sudowoodo
Imitation Pokémon
It stands along paths and disguises itself as a tree to avoid attack.
It hates water, so it will disappear if it starts raining.
​

Misa snapped her Pokedex shut and blinked at the group of Sudowoodo that seemed rooted to the spot, refusing to budge "The entry say's they don't like water... so I guess we'll have to go find us a Water Pokemon huh?" Bell nodded and pointed in the direction of the lake not to far from there "Bellsprout!" Amisa smiled down and Bell "Ohh how convenient, you've got a good eye Bell, now lets go find us a water Pokemon!"

It didn't take long for Misa and Bell to march down by the lake, so now the two were looking out at the vast pool of water, unsure of how they were going to get across and find a water Pokemon for that matter "You wouldn't happen to know how to swim Bell.. would you?" Bell gave Misa a look of exasperation, did she look like she could swim? "Yeesh, I'm just asking, no need to have a cow..." Bell would've stuck her tongue out at Misa if she had one, the flower sometimes wondered about the girl.

"Ae you looking to goin fishin' lass?"

Misa and Bell turned around and noticed a fisherman standing a ways off away from them, clad in the standard fisherman's garb, long sleeved blue shirt, brown vest, bucket hat and long tan pants with blue/black boots covering his pant legs "Umm yeah.. There's a bunch of Sudowoodo blocking the way... and I hear they hate water, so I'm looking to catch a water Pokemon of some sorts" the man nodded in understanding and motioned Misa to follow him.

"I rent out boats" he told her as they made it back to his cottage on the dock "Trainer's always come by looking to either fish or catch some of the water Pokemon here, so this is nothing uncommon for me." he lead Misa to a boat and handed her some paddles "What am I supposed to do with this" she asked staring at the brown sticks.

"Haven't you ever rowed a boat before girl?"

Misa shook her head no and the fisherman looked at her like she just sprouted ears and a tail "How... aye nevermind" he murmured shaking his head "Lucky for you, I keep some spare boats with motors, now a word of advice lass, try not to go to fast, or you'll scare the Pokemon that migrate near the top of the lake alright" Misa nodded and the fisherman led her to the boat "Everything you'll need is in the boat, Bait, a Net, a Rod, Life Jackets and a list with information about which Pokemon dwell in the lake now be careful and don't go messing up my boat now ya hear" Amisa nodded while she and Bell got in the boat and strapped on her life jacket "Yes sir, thank you"

"No problem and good luck to ya" Misa nodded once more, before she bought the boat's engine to life and at rode across the lake at a steady pace, the fisherman watching her and shaking his head "Kids these days... what loon doesn't know how to row a boat..."

-klk-

They were now in the middle of the lake and Misa had cut the boat off, she was now rummaging through the bait box, and glancing at the Pokemon List unsure of what to catch. Bell on the other hand was leaning over the boat, peering curiously into the water and admiring her reflection on the water's stilled surface "Ohh Vaporeon looks pretty, I wouldn't mind catching one of those" Misa mumbled to herself, too engrossed with gazing over the list "And that Buizel look's pretty strong" Bell glanced back at her trainer briefly before turning her attention back at the water's surface.

"Squirt."

Bell blinked and lifted her head, looking around the boat what in the world was that noise? The Squirtle, that just popped its head out of the water glanced at the large boat that was parked directly over its secret spot. Whoever was running that thing needed to move it, it was ruining Squirtle's nap, Squirtle grumbled to itself and stealthily climbed up the other side of the boat, Bell was too busy admiring itself in the water and Misa was too focused on that list.

The Squirtle sniffed the air and glanced at the bait box, there was food! He took one look at Misa and Bell, both were too preoccupied to notice anyway, so it wouldn't hurt if he took some of the bait, Squirtle threw open the box and looked at all the labeled cans, each had silhouettes of all the Pokemon that resided in the lake, Squirtle grinned deviously and began picking through the can's of bait.

"Belllsprout"

Bell sighed as she dragged one of her leafy appendages lightly across the water's surface. She was bored and Misa still seemed unsure of what Pokemon she wanted to catch from this blasted lake another sigh released itself and Bell felt her head drop, she wish Misa would hurry up and choose, the flower was beginning to miss the feel of soil under her fee--

-clank-

Bell felt her head pitch forward and she heard a loud splash, someone just threw something at her and whatever it was had fallen in the water. Growling, the flower turned around to glare at whoever threw something, only to gape at the sight before her, in their boat was a nosy Squirtle, who was tossing all the Bait from the Bait box into the water, it was only a few seconds later until he pulled back and stopped tossing all their bait away, happy with what he found "Squirtle" he mumbled happily, popping off the lid of a can with a silhouette of a Squirtle on it and gulping down the contents inside it.

"Bellsprout!"

Squirtle's eyes widened and he stopped gulping down the bait and looked at Bell, who quickly turned to alert Misa "Bellsprout! Bell Bell!!" Misa looked confused when she lowered the list to glance at Bell "Huh? What's wrong Bell?" Bell pointed at the Squirtle, who had been caught red handed, it still had the can lifted to its lips "Bell Bellsprout!" Misa looked in the direction of what Bell was pointing to and she gasped at the sight of an empty bait box.

"H-Hey! What happened to all of our bait!" Squirtle just snickered and tossed the now empty can of food at Bell's head, causing her to get his squarely in the forehead with it and it caused the Squirtle to laugh louder, before jumping back in the lake with a splash.

"What kind of Pokemon was that" Misa's Pokedex happened to spring to life after she mumbled that question.

Squirtle
Tiny Turtle Pokemon
Its shell is not just for protection.
Its rounded shape and the grooves on its surface minimize resistance in water, enabling Squirtle to swim at high speeds.
​

Bell on the other hand had ran over to the other side of the boat, looking for the Tiny Turtle that just escaped, plus she wanted revenge for getting two can's tossed at her "Bell Bellsprout!" Squirtle had stuck its head out of the water, the rest of its body was submerged "Bellsprout!" Bell shook an angry leaf fist at Squirtle, who said nothing and instead made a "O" shape with his mouth "Bell watch out he's going to use Water--!"

"Squirt.Tllllllleeeee"

It was too later to warn her and all Misa could do was watch as Squirtle shot a stream of water at Bell's face, while said flower scowled and glared at the snickering Squirtle "Squirtle. Squirt. Squirt" Bell growled "Belllsprooouuttt. Bellsprout!!" then before either Misa or Squirtle could blink, Bell had smacked Squirtle on the head with a vine, causing the turtle to cry out and wince in pain, cause everyone knows that getting hit while wet will sting like hell.

Squirtle's eyes widened briefly, before he leered angrily at Bell "Squirtle!" Squirtle then surprised both Misa and Bell, by leaping out of the water and with a powerful tackle, it knocked Bell out of their boat and into the water "Bell!" Misa shouted quickly moving to the side of the boat, watching as the two Pokemon sank beneath the waters surface.

 

[Wolfwhispers]

ShadowYashi: Great description, now after that Squirtle! :)

Everyone, start finishing up the Sudowoodo part, because late tommorow I will have the next chapter up!

 

[Pikalover10]

Chapter 5, Pt II:

Max stared at the Buizel, wondering what it was going to do. Scyther stood crouched over a little facing BUizel, his scythes at both of his sides. Buizel was standing straight up, perfectly confident. He had a confident smirk on his face, as if this would be easy.

"Ok! Scyther use Quick Attack!" Max started off the battle.

Suddenly, the orange sea weasel shot out a few beams of hard packed water, spiraling towards Scyther. Scyther quickly dove in between them, and dashed towards Buizel.

Scyther's feet were swiftly moving past eachother. His scythes were calmly sitting at hsi sides, not moving even just a little as he dashed for BUizel. Buizel stood there, wide-eyed at how fast Scyther was.

Scyther then leapt a little in to the air, and slashed Buizel. Buizel was sent rolling across the deck of the boat, hitting the railing and stopping. He shook his head and got up, obviously not damaged much...he must have let Scyther hit him to get an idea of his strength and speed.

"Use Silver Wind!" Max shouted.

Scyther's wings started rapidly buzzing, and he slashed at the air. The wind went slicing through the air, and slammed in to Buizel. Buizel went shooting over the railing and landed in the lake water with a loud splash.

Scyther cracked his neck and waited for the Buizel to do something. Suddenly, the Buizel came rocketing out of the water in a Quick Attack. His tail then glew a bright whiteish color, and he did a flip in midair.

His tails then sent out a huge slash rocketing for Scyther. Scyther couldn't dodge it. He knelt down on one knee and placed his scythes in a big 'X' to help reduce the damage. The attack slammed in to Scyther, sending him flying back towards Max.

He did a half flip and stopped himself by slamming his scythes in to the deck flooring. He landed softly and glared at Buizel, who had softly landed on the deck too. Buizel was glaring at Scyther, but he had a smirk on his face unlike Scyther.

"Ok! Now use Pursuit!" Max said being more aware and careful.

Scyther nodded and concentrated. THere were no shadows around, so he would have to concentrate more to be able to disappear and stay disappeared. Finally, Scyther disappeared and slowly walked over towards the Buizel.

Buizel frantically looked around for any signs of the Scyther, but saw none. Then, he stopped searching and began concentrating too. He then leapt up high in to the air, and did a backflip over the boat railing.

He landed in the lake with a big splash, and Scyther had to reappear. He couldn't focus that long on it. Scyther stood up and waited for the Buizel to attack, but nothing came. Suddenly, Scyther was hit on his back, and slammed in to the railing.

He turned around and Buizel stood there, smirking evilly. Scyther lashed out with one scythe, and slashed him away. Buizel skidded across the deck, but stopped and glared at Scyther, who just glared back evenly.

"Now use Quick Attack!" Max shouted.'

Scyther pushed off the railing, and dashed towards Buizel. He tripped a few times, but continued to run towards Buizel. He slammed in to the orange sea weasel, but before it went skidding off, he hooked the Buizel on to one of his scythes and sent it tumbling towards the other side of the deck.

Buizel slammed in to the deck, but slowly got up. He wasn't about to give up.

OOC: Will finish later...got to go soon

 

[ShadowYashi]

"Bell! Bell! Are you okay, can you hear me!?"

Misa frantically searched the water looking for any sign that her Pokemon was okay. Misa opened her mouth to call out for Bell again, but bubbles began to surface around the area where both Pokemon had sank "Squirtle!" Squirtle had popped back up to the surface, it swam right past the boat with quick speed and looked to be trying to shake something off, that something was Bell, who was balancing herself on its shell, she looked like she was surfing "Squirtle Squirt!" Squirtle then leaped out of the water and somehow had managed to grab Bell and fling her off its back and smack her several times in the face with Tail Whip, looking much like a flailing fish, before it landed back in the water, while Bell used Vine Whip to grab onto the boat and reel herself back to it.

"Bell! You okay?" Misa made her way over to the very soaked and very annoyed Bell, who was breathing hard and spitting out some water, but other than that Bell looked okay "Sprout... Sprout... Sprout" she rung out her leaves and nodded with a small smile "Bellsprout!" there was a loud splash nearby, causing both females to glance in that general direction, it was Squirtle and he was swimming at high speeds... right towards the boat!

"Hey... what's Squirtle doing? Why's he swimming so fast... is it gonna stop?" Misa eyes went wide and she grabbed onto Bell, hugging her tightly "Oh no... Bell... I don't think he's gonna stop" Bell blinked and looked to Misa for an explanation "Sprout?" Misa gasped and pointed at Squirtle, who was getting closer "We gotta jump!" was all she said before leaping over the boat and into the water, while Squirtle rammed their transportation unit, seconds later she resurfaced from under the water with a flailing Bell in her arms "He flipped the boat over and I'm wet... and all the boat's supplies are gone."

"Bellsprout! Bellsprout!" Bell flailed in Misa's arms and she placed her on top of the upside down boat "You don't like water very much huh?" Bell shook her head no, she liked water... but in small doses... sinking to the bottom of a lake was not how she wanted to die "Squirtle Squirt!" Squirtle had reappeared and was standing on the opposite end of the boat, which wasn't very long in length, but it had a nice width, with enough room for the small Pokemon to stand on. Squirtle glared at Bell and vice versa for her "Squirtle wants a battle?" Squirtle nodded while Bell continued to glare. Misa looked back and forth at both Pokemon, releasing a sigh from where she floated, she was gonna be soaked to the bone by the time this was all over "Alright then... Start off with Vine Whip Bell!"

Bell nodded and fired a set of vines at Squirtle, who dodged them both by Withdrawing into his shell, causing the vines to dart past his head "Squirtle! Squirtllllllllleeee" A jet of Water then shot out after Squirtle ducked into his shell, Bell got hit in the face from the Water Gun, which sent her sliding back and almost off the boat "Belllsprouttt" Bell pinwheeled her arms wildly to kept from toppling into the water "Okay Bell, use Poison Powder!" Bell nodded and took a deep breath, causing her "cheeks" to puff up briefly before she fired off a bomb of Poison Dust at Squirtle, who countered with Bubble, the stream of bubbles formed some sort of shield around Squirtle and the purple powder hit the bubble wall, canceling out the attack.

"Pretty smart... Bell use Wrap!"

Bell nodded and shot her vines out at Squirtle, wrapping them tightly around the turtle's smooth shell "Now reel it in and try that Poison Powder point blank!" Squirtle had withdrawn into its shell, much like Misa had assumed after Bell gripped it up in wrap and began to pull it towards her but what Bell and Misa didn't expect was as soon as Bell had positioned her face right over the hole where Squirtle's face would pop out, was that the turtle would be clever enough to turn the tables on them and perform the same trick.

Squirtle had used powerful Water Gun at point blank, sending Bell flying high in the air but Squirtle wasn't done, it then followed up with a Water Gun Tackle combination, by firing Water Gun at the ship and propelling itself in the air and Tackling Bell out of the sky, causing them both to fall back into the water, where Squirtle clearly had the advantage "Bell!" after Squirtle had tackled Bell out of the air, Misa quickly got to work on trying to flip the boat over but it wasn't going as well as planned "stupid boat... why the hell is it so heavy" she though with a grimace, watching as Bell took the battle in her own hands, she was currently hanging onto Squirtle's shell for her dear life and whipping him on the head repeatedly with Vine Whip, while he swam around in circles trying to shake her off once more.

"Ohh Hang in there Bell... I've almost got the boat flipped over!"

"Beellllsprouuuutttt" Squirtle had begun to zig-zag rapidly, still trying to shake Bell off its shell, while Bell had switched from Vine Whip to Wrap, vines were tight on its neck "Squirtle" he growled determined to get the flower off its back "Squirtle Squirt!" Bell's eyes widened when she felt her body begin to sink under the water, Squirtle was going to dive! "Hold your breath Bell!" Bell nodded and took a big gulp of air, seconds before Squirtle descended under the lake "Okay... Bell probably won't last long... I need to get this boat flipped back over" Misa mumbled gripping the side of the boat and with all the strength she could muster, she flipped the boat over "Yes!" Misa scrambled out of the water and climbed onto the boat "Ugh... when this is all over I need a nice hot bath and meal" she grumbled moving a blue wet bang from her face.

"Bellsproutttt!"

Bell had suddenly been shot out of the water like a cannon, she was being propelled upwards by a geyser of water, which Misa had assumed come from Squirtle's Water Gun, but said turtle was nowhere in sight, most likely hidden under the water "Bell over here! Vine Whip!" Misa waved at the airborne flower, who nodded and used her vines to latch onto the rim of the boat and she began reel herself back in "Squirtle!" but the sudden appearance of Squirtle popping out from under her and butting heads with her when she was halfway near the boat ruined that plan.

"Squirt.Tllllllllleeee!"

Bell lost her grip and was sent flying back high in the air from another point blank Water Gun to the face "Shake it off Bell, I need you to grab it with Vine Whip" Bell nodded "Bellsprout!" she then righted herself in the air and fired Vine Whip at Squirtle, who had used Water Gun to propel himself forward, intent on tackling Bell again "Sprout!" Her vine's latched tightly onto Squirtle's shell and Misa smirked and so did Bell "Now Vine Whip into Wrap" Squirtle's eyes went wide when Bell's grip tightened and she began to spin around with Squirtle at arms length "Sq-Squirt!" he had a bad feeling about this.

"Okay, now lets send em flying!" she exclaimed pumping a fist forward "Toss it Bell!"

"Belllsprouuuttt" after a few more seconds of spinning, Bell stopped and with a powerful swing, still in mid-air mind you, she tossed the Squirtle across the lake, but the Tiny Turtle had enough sense to withdraw into its shell while he skipped across the water's surface and then onto the bank near the lake "Hehe he looked like a skipping stone" Misa giggled to herself watching as Bell had landed safely in the boat before bringing the engine to life and steering it to where the Squirtle had landed. Misa and Bell found the Tiny Turtle lying on its back, gripping at the air, currently trying to right itself "Squirtle! Squirtle Squirt!"

Misa frowned and walked over to the Squirtle, who was still trying to get off its back "You've caused us alot of trouble for us today Squirtle" Misa pulled out a Pokeball "And it'll be too much trouble to go all the way back out on the lake looking for another Water Type... so I guess you'll do" with that said, Misa tossed the ball at Squirtle, it bounced off its shell and then sucked Squirtle in shaking wildly and blinking red.

I hope this works...

[Bleh, its short but I've still got that Sudowoodo to battle >.<]

 

[Wolfwhispers]

Pikalover: Just VM me when finished. :)

ShadowYashi: As usual, great description in your posts! Great job! You have caught a male level 13 Squirtle!

 

[ShadowYashi]

"Man... that fisherman was pretty calm" Misa murmured to Bell and Squirtle as they walked back in the direction of Rocky Trails and the group of Sudowoodo" I mean, troublemaker over here did dump all his fishing equipment into the bottom of the lake when he flipped us, but I guess he's just somewhat used to his stuff getting dropped into the lake by now."

"Bellsprout. Bellsprout" Bell nodded in agreement and both females glanced at Squirtle, who ignored him both "Hmm... What should I nickname you" Misa looked thoughtful and crouched down to Squirtle eye level, studying the turtle "You remind me of this green turtle toy I had when I was a kid, his name was Kurt" she frowned at her memories "back when I was a spoiled little brat... but I loved that thing, never went anywhere without em" a slight chuckle left her before she stood up and pointed at Squirtle "right, from this day on, you will be known as Kurt"

"Squirt/Bell?"

Both Pokemon blinked, giving Misa blank stares and Misa just pouted, looking away from their stares "Hey, it was either this or Squirty and I don't like the way that sounds... so your now Kurt, so get used to it Squirt" she mumbled glowering at Squirtle, who had scrunched his nose up in distaste at the nickname, obviously not liking it "Squirtle Squirt!" Kurt shook his head no, he would not be nicknamed after her childhood plushy "Too bad" Misa sneered at the turtle, bending at the waist, so her face was inches away from Kurt's "I'm the trainer here and what I say goes and I say your Kurt. So what do you have to say about that" she asked in a snooty voice before standing up straight.

"Squirtle. Squirt. Tlllllleeee" Kurt had fired a jet stream of water at Misa, hitting the girl right in the face. Misa scowled and spat out the water before she glared harshly at the snickering Squirtle, who had this cocky grin on his face. Misa fist clenched at her sides briefly before she reached out to grab Kurt, but the turtle ducked under her legs and ran away "Squirtle.Squirtle Squirtle!" it taunted, just a few feet up ahead of the two, patting its butt and sticking out his tongue, causing Misa to become even angrier, her cheeks flushing red hot "Argh! You stupid trouble making Squirtle get back here!" Bell, the only sane one in the group, and perhaps Ash... to some degree, just shook her head and sighed lightly before following the two.

"Grr... your lucky I need you for this battle Kurt, otherwise I'd kill you" Misa grumbled as the trio stood infront of the group of Sudowoodo "Now get in there and use Water Gun... spray all of em" Kurt mumbled something to himself before complying with her request, shooting out the jet of water and shifting its head left and right, to wet all the rocks posing as trees "Sudo!" All the flinched after being sprayed with water and took a step back, all except one... the one in the middle, that Sudowoodo took a challenging step forward instead "Sudowoodo" it snarled glaring down at Kurt, who sneered right back up at it "Hey Kurt, I think this one's the leader.. if we take it out, the other's will probably let us pass" she murmured and Kurt nodded "Squirtle."

"Woodo" it hissed getting into battle stance

"Okay Kurt start off with Withdra--woah!"

With quick speed Misa had never seen before, Sudowoodo had closed the small gap between it and Kurt and swiftly delivered the deadly blow, bringing its foot back and kicking Squirtle extra hard in the stomach with Low Kick, sending the turtle flying and causing him to slam right into a tree "Sq-Squirtle" Kurt groaned as he slowly slid down the bark "Sudowoodo" Sudowoodo smirked at Kurt, who slowly got back to his feet and glared at Sudowoodo "Tackle Kurt!" Squirtle nodded and charged at Sudowoodo, slamming his skull right into the faux tree's stomach.

"Sudo" Sudowoodo's smirk looked downright malicious, the tackle having no affect on its rock hard body "Woodo!" the rock type used Low Kick again and Kurt was sent bouncing back and rolling to a stop near Misa and Bell. Misa winced at the rough kicks Kurt had been subjugated to and Bell looked somewhat happy to see Kurt getting pounded, cause that ment that she wasn't the one on the receiving end of the harsh blows this time around "Use Bubble Kurt!" Kurt nodded and shot a stream of bubbles at Sudowoodo, each one of them hitting, causing the rock to hiss in response "Sudowoodo!"

Sudowoodo's eyes began to glow yellow and stray rocks began to lift from the ground and hover infron of him "Woodo. Woodo. Woodo. Woodo!" Several rocks were suddenly flying at high speeds, aimed for Kurt "Withdraw" Kurt complied by quickly ducking into his shell and a few off the rocks flew over his head, while some strays hit his shell before exploding into dust from the impact "Sq-Squirt" Kurt winced upon feeling a few rock explode against his underbelly "Hang in there Kurt, now while your still in your shell, use Water Gun!"

"Squirt." Kurt took a deep breath "Tllllleeee" then releases a powerful jet of Water Gun, hitting Sudowoodo square in the chest, causing the rock tree to wince "Woodooooo. Sudowoodoooooo" Sudowoodo had used CopyCat and Copied Water Gun and then fired a powerful jet of water at Kurt, hitting him square in the stomach, causing him to skid back slightly "C'mon Kurt, don't let this sorry excuse for a tree beat you, especially with your own element use Water Gun too!" Kurt gnashed his teeth together and snarled before firing Water Gun, which met Sudowoodo's Water Gun and both Pokemon began trying to push each other back.

"Switch it up Kurt, use Bubble!" Kurt nodded and instantly a stream of Bubbles appeared, snaking its way up Sudowoodo's Water Gun and hitting it in the face "Sudooo" it shrieked closing its mouth and stopping the Water Gun to shake the water from its eyes "Sudoo" Sudowoodo only saw red as it charged at Kurt, flailing its body about "Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo. Sudowoodo. Woodo. Woodo. Woodooo!" Sudowoodo was using its fist and feet as it flailed about, Kurt was getting hit by a flurry of punches and kicks.

"Sudowoodo!"

Sudowoodo then followed up with another Low Kick attack, this time however it sent Kurt flying upwards into the air, but Sudowoodo didn't stop there, for it's eyes began to glow yellow again and a cluster of rocks began to follow soon after, pelting Kurt as he plummeted to the ground "Hey... this might work to our advantage. Kurt I want you to use Withdraw and start spinning!" Kurt nodded and drew his legs, feet and head into his shell before he started spinning while he fell through the air "Now Use Water Gun and Bubble."

Still in his shell, Kurt launched both attacks, a stream of water rushing out of his shell and then a rush of bubbles soon after. Since Kurt was spinning when he launched the attacks, they both spiraled towards the ground and intertwined like a strand of DNA, a twister of Bubble's and Water fell on Sudowoodo, engulfing the fake tree in a whirlpool of water "Sudoowoodooo" it cried out in pain as the water continously hit his rock skin. Kurt had landed on the ground not to far from it "Now use Tackle!"

Kurt nodded and charged at the mobilized tree "Squirtlllllleee!" Kurt's head connected with Sudowoodo's torso and it sent him flying out of the water twister and skidding back across the ground, near the idle group of Sudowoodo that watched their leader battle "Suudowoodoo" it moaned rolling over to face Kurt with swirly eyes "Squirtle. Squirt" Kurt smirked proudly at its victory and the Sudowoodo stepped aside to allow Misa to pass "That was awesome Kurt, Good Job!"

[OOC: Okay, now I know the last one wasn't short... but I'm pretty sure this on is. Or maybe its cause it doesn't look like much when I type it on WordPad . Ugh >.< I hated this battle scene, but I couldn't think of anything else. Sudowoodo's a bit hard for me to work with =/ I've got a sudden case of SSBB Deja Vu... XD (one of Red's sayings are Good Job!) Also I'm finally caught up! Yay Yashi! *does a jig*]

Chapter V: When Nature Attacks! Part 2

Neiteio made sure to check the Pokemon he received before venturing too far from the lake. The incident with the sap harvester in Route 1 had instilled in him a distrust of all "help". Besides that, the old fisherman was a sharp businessman, and it wouldn't be surprising if he was the kind of guy who could find any loophole in a request and give the customer something completely useless.

"Come out, whatever you are..." The white flash of the PokeBall's release mechanism was laced with a black net pattern, which contracted and molded the light into the shape of the Pokemon.

"Pori!"

He been given a catlike Pokemon with a fish tail, with large fins and blue fur that was so short and well-oiled that it looked more like a rubber skin. It... she purred as Neiteio referenced his PokeDex for more information.

"Vaporeon, the Bubble Jet Pokemon

Vaporeon is the result of an Eevee's exposure to the radiation of a Water Stone. Highly adapted to aquatic life, it has the ability to breathe underwater. Vaporeon also have a unique polar molecular structure, and are able to "melt" into a body of water, disappearing completely."​

Neiteio hit SCAN again to check her attacks:

Current Level: 14
Ability: Water Absorb (Healed by Water attacks)
Moves: Bubble, Tackle, Tail Whip, Helping Hand, Sand Attack
Status: Healthy

"Well, Bubble sounds like a Water move... Vaporeon, use a Bubble on that tree over there." Neiteio pointed at a nearby dead tree, not knowing what to expect.

Vaporeon purred in approval and took a deep breath before spitting out a few bubbles of varying sizes, which flew quickly and burst violently on contact with the target. The poor tree's bark went flying, but the extent of the damage was made clear when Neiteio heard a loud 'crack!'. In his studies on fluid dynamics, Neiteio had never heard mention of surface tension being so powerful, but Vaporeon's Bubbles were apparently strong enough to split trees.

Neiteio rubbed his hands like a fly. "Good, good... You were definitely worth the money. Now if we hurry, we can make it to the next city before nightfall." He pulled his only other Pokemon's PokeBall off his belt and opened it. Goliath had calmed down, but he still wasn't happy about being forcefully retreated from a fight. He was going to ignore Neiteio until he got an apology or rematch, but his interest spiked when he saw the nearby Vaporeon watching his Trainer intently... had he caught another Pokemon?

Knowing that he wouldn't have time to explain his plan when they reached the roadblock, Neiteio explained his plan in advance: "Now that we have Bubble, we should be able to get those Sudowoodo running. Vaporeon, when we're in range, you'll use a Sand Attack to make dust cloud over them. If they can't see us attacking, they're less likely to fight back. When the cloud is ready, fire as many Bubbles as you can into it."

Vaporeon chirped in acknowledgement, and Neiteio turned his attention to Goliath.

"Most of the Sudowoodo will run away from the Bubbles, but in the panic some of them may go running off in different directions. Goliath, your job will be to protect Vaporeon. If any of the Sudowoodo run at her, take them out."

Goliath didn't respond, but an involuntary twitch of the horns gave away that he was overcome with joy. As much as he hated playing bodyguard to some cutesy Pokemon, there is nothing a Pinsir loves more than a brawl. Determining that this was adequate compensation for his actions earlier, Goliath decided to forgive his Trainer.

Plan in mind, the three walked through Route 2 for the third time that day. By the time they caught sight of the Sudowoodo mob, it was evening.

"Those trees are going to pay for making me waste all this time."

Vaporeon, you're pretty small. Sneak on ahead of us and use your Sand Attack when you're in range. The Vaporeon, who seemed to be quite fond of Neiteio, rubbed her cheek on his leg before crawling forward.

Neiteio watched her carefully. If she was spotted, she would probably be immediately trampled by the mob, who hated everything related to water... He was pretty sure that a flattened Vaporeon was reason enough to lose his rental deposit. She reached her destination without incident and turned back to face Neiteio and Goliath. Kicking sand up into the air with her hind legs, Vaporeon generated a massive dust cloud that drifted over the Sudowoodo. As soon as their line of sight was blocked, Neiteio and Goliath rushed to her side; with her backup in place, she began firing Bubbles as instructed.

The effect was immediate. The first row of Sudowoodo screamed, which raised a painfully loud alarm in the group. By firing Bubbles nonstop, Vaporeon was able to keep most of the Sudowoodo moving in one direction.

Most of them.

As Neiteio had expected, one of the Sudowoodo broke off from the pack and emerged on Vaporeon's side of the dust cloud. It's eyes sharpened when it noticed Vaporeon- on finding the cause of its comrades' suffering, it ran over to hit her with a Low Kick, but had only made it halfway to its target before being intercepted. Goliath had been waiting for one of the unlucky trees to come his way, and he wasted no time in launching a Fury Attack. The Sudowoodo was so stunned that it was hit at least 8 times before it was even able to recover.

Neiteio ordered Vaporeon to slow down the firing of her Bubbles, lest she run out of water before the entire mob dispersed. He then turned his focus toward Goliath, who was menacingly snapping at the Sudowoodo. It just barely avoided having its top false branch chopped off by rolling away and standing up as quickly as it could. Finally ready to fight back, the Sudowoodo stomped on the ground, sending a barrage of rocks flying at Goliath. Remembering that Pinsir were weak against both Rock-type moves and ranged attacks, Neiteio suddenly felt that he might be at a disadvantage. Goliath tried to lower into attack position so that his horns would protect his body from the rocks, but they were too fast and too many. The rocks shattered when they hit, leaving cracks, bruises, and scuffs on Goliath's shell.

Neiteio had to keep the Sudowoodo from using Rock Throw, and the only way he could see to do that was to close in. After glancing up at Vaporeon to make sure she was safe, he shouted "Goliath, use Harden and then Bind it!"

Through sheer will, Goliath rearranged the chitin fibers that composed his shell, repairing and reinforcing it. As he began to charge at his opponent, a passing gleam indicated that his shell ready to resist any assaults. Goliath clamped his horns around Sudowoodo's body, lifting it off the ground and forcing the barbs into its body. In response, Sudowoodo began thrashing around, and did connect with a few Flail attacks, but Goliath's reinforced shell was doing its job well. Goliath slowly increased the pressure until he suffered a Flail to the face, whereupon he Seismic Tossed Sudowoodo on the ground in front of him. Seeing the horned beast advancing to continue its assault, the Sudowoodo panicked and Low Kicked Goliath, but with his resistance to Fighting-moves, it was not very effective...

Suddenly the Sudowoodo did something unexpected: it reached down and picked up Goliath, holding him over its head. Neiteio thought that the scene looked familiar, and it became clear when he saw Goliath get Seismic Tossed into the ground in an identical fashion.

"It's copying my moves!"

The Sudowoodo stood ready for another attack, and was hit squarely in the chest by an unexpected Bubble, which sent it running and screaming right into a boulder that laid alongside the path; the Sudowoodo mob had all scattered and the path was clear, so Vaporeon decided to speed up the battle that was holding everyone back.

Back at the boulder, Sudowoodo was rubbing its face in pain. The Bubble had both damaged and disoriented it, but it still had some fight left in it. It fired a Bubble back at Goliath, and its success was marked by a faint cracking: although it was weaker than Vaporeon's, Sudowoodo's Bubble packed enough damage to crack Goliath's reinforced armor.

As Goliath shakily stood up, Vaporeon growled and released an orange shockwave from her body, which dispersed, then reappeared, enveloping Goliath in a fiery aura. Thinking of her attack list, Neiteio determined that the move must have been Helping Hand.

Invigorated by the temporary power boost, Goliath rushed forward, through another Bubble, and slammed Sudowoodo into the same boulder. It lost consciousness immediately and didn't get up again.

Seeing how strong it had been, Neiteio wanted to catch it... But he was currently taking care of two Pokemon and didn't have enough supplies for everyone, so he left it unconscious by the side of the road. He knew that Goliath had been severely injured in the fight, and Vaporeon was running low on energy, too, so he recalled them to their PokeBalls to spare them the walk to the Pokemon Center.

 

[Royal]

The rocky mountains were beautiful as Squirtle, Heracross, and I walked up the side of it. We walked slowly however, because the trail was covered in boulders, small chunks of rock, and other things. I could only hope the Pokemon living here weren't –

"CUUBBOOOOONNNNEEE!" Turning my head quickly, I saw a brown and white Pokemon hop from the mountain and face us. I narrowed my eyes. The Pokemon had a rough brown skin with a light brown belly. On its head was a skull and in its hand – a bone. I fumbled with my Pokedex and pointed it at the small mountain Pokemon.

"Cubone, the Lone Pokemon. When it thinks of its dead mother, it cries. Its crying makes the skull it wears rattles hollowly." The Pokedex stated.

"It looks like it wants to battle," I said as I put my Pokedex in my pocket.

"Hera," Heracross nodded and started out to the field.

"Wait Heracross," I said quickly. My pink Pokemon turned to me. "Squirtle should battle it. Squirtle's this Pokemon's weakness." Heracross smiled and nodded, walking back to my side and urging Squirtle to go forward. Squirtle anxiously stepped out to the field. "Use Bubble," I shouted. Squirtle opened its mouth into an "O" shape and quickly spat out a mouthful of bubbles at the Cubone.

Using its bone, the Cubone knocked away all of the bubbles and ran for Squirtle. "Quick, use Bubble," I shouted. Squirtle opened its mouth again in an "O" shape and spat out the bubbles. But the Cubone jumped over it and threw down the bone on Squirtle's head. I heard a hollow bang and Squirtle fell backwards on its shell.

"Squir, squir, squir!" it shouted, waving its arms and trying to get up. Behind him, the Cubone raised its bone to knock Squirtle once more.

"Use Withdraw," I shouted. Squirtle stopped flailing and tucked itself into its shell just as the Cubone threw down its bone. But the bone didn't hit Squirtle's head, it hit a rock hard and the Cubone howled in pain and anger. "Bubble!" I shouted. Squirtle pulled itself out of its shell and looked up at the Cubone, smiling. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of bubbles. The bubbles popped on Cubone's skull helmet and it was knocked back. Squirtle quickly rocked back and forth, finally getting back onto its feet.

"Use Tackle," I said.

"Squirtle!" my Pokemon shouted as it ran at the Cubone and knocked it back down to the ground. The Cubone got up but Squirtle once again hit it with a Tackle. The brown Pokemon stepped back only to fall over a rock.

The Cubone got its feet but didn't continue fighting. It cast an angry glance before running off.

"Phew," I said, wiping the sweat off my head with my hand. Heracross congratulated Squirtle on a job well done and I gave him a berry which he happily gulped down. We continued on through the trail but the sun was beating down overhead which made us quickly exhausted. We sat down on a part of the trail which wasn't so rocky. Squirtle didn't seem hot, but Heracross and I were, so I asked Squirtle to cool us off with a Water Gun. My Pokemon happily obliged.

We ate lunch there but after that, continued on our walk. We saw a few Phanpy, several Baltoy, a Cubone or two, and maybe one Cranidos. But none of them I liked. I mean, the Cranidos seemed strong, but it wasn't for me. The Phanpy were just too cute, but they didn't appeal to me besides their cuteness. Finally, we came across a Pokemon I liked. It ate an Oran Berry happily on the path and it was alone. It had armor-like skin and it sparkled silver in the sun. There were several holes in its armor and its eyes were a brilliant blue.

I took out my Pokedex.

"Aron, the Iron Armor Pokemon. It usually lives deep in mountains. However, hunger may lead it to eat railroad tracks and cars." My Pokedex stated. My mouth pursed up to form a wrinkly line when the Pokedex said the last sentence. Eh, I'll probably have to change its diet if I caught it.

"Squirtle, go out there." I said.

Tristin the Xatu: That was ridiculiously awsome! Great job, Goliath has grown to level 21 and learned Brick Break!

Royal: Alright, you are not allowed to both battle a pokemon and then attempt to capture a different pokemon in the same post. As you battled first, I will grade you on that. What you can do about the battle is copy and paste it into a different post. Right, now congrats, Squirtle has grown to level 13 and learned Water Gun!
