Light in the Dark: Orre Region

Not open for further replies.
Chapter 1: The first Mission
Mike was laying on one of the few grassy hills of the Orre Region. Being a primarly desert region, grassy hills were hard to come by. Chewing on a whisp of straw Mike was just starting to drift off when he suddenly felt a great weight on his stomach.

Snapping out of his snooze, the boy saw Totodile staring at him intently. "Yes? Can I help you?" Mike said irritated. Totodile pointed toward the lab, indicating he was being requested there. "Allright, allright..." he muttered. Taking one last look at the far off mountains, and one last caress of the wind, Mike made his way down the hill.

The boy saw a few of the other kids headed toward the lab as well. "Somethin must be goin on..." Mike thought to himself. One of the boys hurring to the lab caught his eye, but both nodded and moved on. "Been here 6 months and still haven't made any friends..." Mike muttered.

Soon he reached the lab where he saw Prof. Krane pacing back and forth. Once everyone had arrived he began speaking. "Erm, everybody knows about the Shadow Pokemon terrorizing the world, right?" he asked.

Mike rolled his eyes. Who didn't know about the Shadow Pokemon? After...that one guy and girl saved all of them, EVERYONE knew about Shadow Pokemon. Mike snapped out of his day dream when he realized Krane was speaking again.

"Yes, well, about this matter, you guys are needed greatly. Shadow Pokemon are attacking the world like they did so many years ago and the region of Orre needs powerful trainers to fight back and help stop the criminals behind this mess. I think that these trainers are you. You show powerful trainer skills just with the one pokemon you have with you right now."

Mike smirked. He was glad someone noticed how hard he had been training! After all he had the most logged hours on the Battle Sim. He had been training for the day he could leave the lab and head out on his own.

"Then you need to do something for me first. The invention that will help you in your upcoming journey is being worked on in Gateon Port. You must pick it up and come back here for me to show you how it works. It is in the Machine Shop, okay?" Krane continued.

Mike's eyebrows went up. It was the first time he would be allowed away from the lab. And he was going to milk it.

"This is no time for play. Get the device and come straight back." Krane finished.

"Yeah forget that! I'll get your machine part Krane but how fast I get it is up to me!" Mike said with a grin. He returned Totodile to his Pokeball, and grabbed his skateboard and headed out to Gaton Port.
 
To CTFx: Good way to show a little bit of background information of your character!
To Zimvee: Mike's personality is shown greatly in this post! Sadly, you will have a chance to not follow Krane's instructions. :)

To Everyone: Since almost everyone has posted, the next chapter will be up shortly. Be ready for it to appear here.

Chapter Two: Gateon Port
(2 Posts)
​
Description: You are here for one important mission: to get the device from the Machine Shop like Professor Krane requested. You must go there and get it but……the professor isn't looking, right? Go off and enjoy yourself in this beautiful town and port that sits right on the sea. Gateon is popular for its lighthouse and, of course, the moving bridges.

Places of Interest
Machine Shop: The place that you need to attend to first for your pick-up. It is a small, sort of junky shop, but the staff here always gets the job right! They are currently waiting for you to pick up the device they've been working on for the professor- the Snag Machine. Surprised, huh? It is nothing more, really, than a large machine that fits on your arm. You, or even the staff doesn't have a clue how it works…
Krabby Club- Come here to relax for awhile while enjoying a great show performed by the performing Krabby!
PokeMart: A great place to stock up on all your supplies for the upcoming journey. Sadly, a lazy Munchlax is blocking the door and blocking access. Oh well…
Moving Bridges- A convenient way to travel around town, but they're also really fun to play on!
Lighthouse- A tall building where you can see miles of the large Sea on a sunny day. If you look really closely, you can even see an island really far into the waters. An elevator can take you up, or you can be a little more adventurous and walk up the stairs. But be careful if exploring here. Mysterious characters are roaming the building.

!!Shadow Pokemon Appearance!!​
You still do not know much about Shadow Pokemon, but they're possessed by mysterious people in the lighthouse. If you're caught, they will battle you in hopes of taking your pokemon to add to their collection. You cannot capture any pokemon yet! Just battle them and see how powerful and dangerous Shadow Pokemon really are. *Note* You do not know how to use the Snag Machine yet, but they know exactly what it is!

Chapter Two: Gateon Port

​
Krauss seeing that most everybody was ready decided to just go on ahead, no one would miss him he would take his time to avoid the least amount of injuries possible. Kolink was at his side and walking a slow pace, falling a bit behind Krauss. Nate loved to walk places with his pokemon it was fun and good for you. He yawned a bit as he hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. The trainer came upon a medium sized rock and kicked it. The rock went past a couple of cracks and then stopped. Krauss looked at his rather entergetic partner and said,"Hey, Kolink is it fun to be out here in the open?" he stopped walking as did Kolink,"I mean it is out first adventure.."

The Kolink nodded,"Kol...kol.. ink.. Kolink!" it exclaimed. Yes It is VERY exciting. It saw literally nothing in the desert and it's feet began to grow tired,"Kol..ink?" it questioned.How much longer? The full of its self pokemon lied down as if to proclaim carry me. She grew dissappointed when her trainer shook his head no.

"Oh come on Kolink, not to much farther, then we are at my hideout with my makeshift hover bike ok?" he became a bit thirsty but ignored it, he had forgot to pack water. "Oh darn, pretty stupid of me.." he looked a bit dissappointed,"hey Kolink tell me if you see a cactus or something like it please." The she pokemon nodded. "Good, now let us pick up the pace.." he commanded the Shinx. In one blink of an eye both, human and pokemon were going a lot faster although still pretty slow. <Can't afford any accidents now can we?> he though to himself at the same time making a mental note of being careful.

Soon Kolink exploded with excitement,"Kolink! Kolink!" it exclaimed.Look! Look!. It began to run a bit faster, it's trainer trying to catch up without endangering himself.

"What? What is it Kolink?" Krauss demanded an answer out of his pokemon. <What is it?> he wondered.

"Kolin..k Kolin..k" it said in sarcastic tone. Look closer dummy a cactus. Soon just a tip of a cactus revealed it's whole self, a nice, green, lush plant. <I wonder how these things survive out here..>

"Oh, now i see why you are so happy, geeze I must've sounded stupid, any could of saw that..." he sort of bagged on himself as he walked closer to the cactus. While on his way, proving that point that he was a Klutz he tripped langing right next to the cactus. "Whew.. I almost lost an eye!" he said overjoyed. Krauss got up and dusted himself off then proceeded to check for injuries. <Hm.. ok my arms are fine, no visible damage on my legs, I seem to be function correctly.. I guess I made it out A ok>Nate felt proud of himself for having no injuries when a pain seared from his back. "Ow...,"he said rubbing his back,"I guess that their is no reason to be to proud of my self, huh Kolink" The pokemon nodded staying silent. He then pulled out a knife and cut two bowl shaped pieces off of the cactus, then carefully removed the prickles, he then proceeded to cut more of the cactus to get water to fill the bowls. He got one full and one about half way. "Here Kolink take this one.." he said sliding the full one over to his pokemon. While he sat down and drank his water. "Much better, and look there is the secret cave with my bake Kolink!" he had grown real happy he was at the cave.

Nate walked close to the cave, looked around and saw no one then stepped inside. He got on his hover bike, put Kolink in the passengers seat, and strapped on Kolink's helmet as welll as his. Krauss reved the handle and rode out of the cave, here the dust wasn't too bad, but it would be later on. Ehhhhhhhhhheannn! His machine repeated that sound when ever the handle was revved for more speed. He pulled the goggles over his eyes as the dust began to pick up. Glateon Port soon came into view, he only had to go around to the pre-made path. He stared at it's beauty paying completely ignoring the road. (Not a good a Idea...) The hover bike hit a rock, sending it's passengers flying through the air. Luckilly they both landed in a pool of water, the ground grew wetter at the port. "Are okay Kolink?" he asked. The pokemon responded yes with a quick mew. Krauss got out of the water, soaking wet. "Aww man.." He walked over to the edge and began to peer over at the beautiful town below, (Oh no! I can sense something bad happening..) Nate tripped, tumbling down the side of the embankment, It was a small one, luckily for him. Krauss recollected himself and entered the town's Pokecenter to rest a bit.


 
To Lostt: I like how you explain your trip over to Gateon Port. That is creativity I'm looking for.
 
Chapter 1: The begining of a new adventure.

"Salamence use Hyper Beam!" Max said.

"Golem Earthquake." someone said.

Max was in the middle of a virtual battle and didn't know what was going on in the lab he was in. Salamence blasted Golem and then flew into the air as to not be hit by earthquake.

Max was getting ready to call out a command when everything froze. Then a huge white light shined on him and he shut his eyes closed. A few minutes later he opened them to find himself in the lab with four other people standing there looking at him.

"Please, Max, take a spot in line." Proffessor Krane asked.

Max nodded and took a spot in line. He looked around trying to find Ingo. He remembered Ingo being in the room when he first started the virtual battle.

"Erm, everybody knows about the Shadow Pokemon terrorizing the world, right?" he asked.

Max nodded and so did everyone else in the line.

"Yes, well, about this matter, you guys are needed greatly. Shadow Pokemon are attacking the world like they did so many years ago and the region of Orre needs powerful trainers to fight back and help stop the criminals behind this mess. I think that these trainers are you. You show powerful trainer skills just with the one pokemon you have with you right now." Krane said.

Max flinched. He remembered looking out the window one day and seeing a pokemon with black stuff around its body...Could that have been a shadow pokemon? Max wondered.

"Then you need to do something for me first. The invention that will help you in your upcoming journey is being worked on in Gateon Port. You must pick it up and come back here for me to show you how it works. It is in the Machine Shop, okay?" Krane asked.

Max smiled and nodded. he couldn't wait.

"This is no time for play. Get the device and come straight back." Krane said.

Max quickly walked out the door to his room. He walked into the nice clean room and found Aki and Ingo in there. Ingo had out his little friend Bandit, a male Zigzagoon, and Aki was playing with him.

"Hey Ingo." Max said.

"Hey Max. I heard what is going on. I just wish that I could have gone too." Ingo said.

"Don't worry dude. Maybe next time." Max said simpathetically.

Ingo nodded and picked Aki up for him. Max reached out and grabbed his little chick pokemon.

"Good luck, Max." Ingo said with a great big smile on his face.

Max nodded and left. He quickly explained what was going on to Aki and they were eventually outside infront of the lab.

"Here it goes Aki. Our first grand adventure." Max said.

Aki wiggled to get out of Max's hands but couldn't and insted just sat there.
 
Ace pulled out a smoke and lit it. He inhaled the smoke as if it were heaven. He sighed heavily, letting the smoke chimney out of his mouth. He had just arrived in Gateon Port. He remembers that kid telling him to go here, but know what? He decided to go one by one into every place. This happened to start with Krabby Club.

He walked inside, seeing many sailors inside. He saw a man behind a bar, and a stage. It was empty now, the people chatting excitedly, waiting for a big show. Ace didnt know who to talk to, and Queen looked from side to side, trying to find a fellow Pokemon.

Ace decided to ask the barkeeper.

"Hey!?" He yelled over the loud sailor voices.

"What would you like, sir?" The man said, washing a dirty glass.

Ace tried to search for a question that made sense.

"Uhm, do you have anything here that can stop a Shadow Pokemon...or something..." Ace asked stupidly, the cigarette poking out of his mouth.

"Naw, but there be a shop a couple blocks down that sell these doohickies...Uhm...I forgot what its called. HEY FRANK?" He yelled at a nearby sailor.

"Yeah!?" He yelled back.

"Where do they sell those shadow Pokemon thingamajigs?" The Barkeep yelled

"Oh! Down at the Machine Shop! They are called the Snag Machine!" He yelled over the increasingly loud voices.

"Ah, thats right!" He said, turning back to Ace, "Its down at the Machine Shop. We have been seeing those pesky Shadow Pokemon down here just recently. You gonna clean em up?"

Ace shrugged. He didnt really feel like it, but that dream he had sealed the deal. He was going whether he liked or not.

"Thanks!" Ace yelled as he walked out the door. The silence was eerie, it was nothing like the loud buzz of talking in the club.

"Vee! Eevee!" complained Queen, as her ears must have suffered some damage.

Ace picked her up and started scouting out the Machine Shop. It was dusk, the rays of the orange sun peeked out above the horizon.

Ace puffed out another cloud of smoke, the red ember glowing agianst the long, white stick.

"Eevee! Eev, vee!" said Queen, looking sharply at Ace.

"Hey! I cant help it, I have enough stress on me as it is..." Ace said, mouthing the cigarette.

2 Drunken Sailors stumbled up to Ace and Queen. Their putrid breath stung Ace's nose as they leaned on him a little.

"Hey..Hay! W-We...we want that...uh...that thing." Said one, dropping an empty beer bottle and pointed at Eevee. The shatter of the glass echoed against the soft ebb of the nearby tides.

"Had too much to drink pal? Tell ya what, I will take this," He said, taking one of the Sailors half-empty bottles, "and you head on home, ok?"

"NO! You-uh....-you took my meddissine! I need that..uhmm....yeah..." He said, throwing out a Pokeball.

A Magikarp appeared, flopping wildly. Everyone stared at it. Ace smiled. This thing was going to be a cakewalk.

"Ready Queen?" Ace said. Queen jumped in front of the Magikarp, in her battle stance. The other sailor that did not take out a Pokeball shoved his hand in Ace's face.

"Not...yet." He said. He reached into his pocket, shuffled around, then pulled out a glowing blue stone. Ace's eyes widened. He knew all about this, it was going to get real bad real fast. Before his eyes, the stone touched the flailing Magikarp. For a second, nothing happened, then the Magikarp stopped moving and turned white. It began to shuffle into a huge serpent, back to its original form, then to the serpent agian. The motions became a blur as it was going so fast, then suddenly it stopped on the Serpent.

A Gyarados. Eevee looked in complete fear. Ace looked in complete fear. The sailors chuckled.

"I love it when that hap-uh...happens! Yeah..." They laughed

The Gyarados roared, shattering Eevee and Ace.

"Alright Queen," he said, taking a swig of the stolen beer, "Feet first into Hell!"

"Ow, not there that stings.." complained Krauss as the nurse was helping his injuries. He rolled down his sleeve and stood up. "Hey.. um... thank you ma'am.." he said and began to slowly slip away.

"Yes, that is my job" she began cleaning up,"oh and Nathaniel, be careful" she warned him.

"Yeah, Yeah I will" Nate replied, not paying attention to the 'Caution Wet Floor' sign. He strolled on down the hallway humming his favorite song,The he began a few notes and stopped quickly when he got a few awkward glances. Then he remembered he had forgotten Kolink. Krauss turned around and began to run to go pick up his pokemon, and slipped on the wet floor,but managed to catch himself. "Whew.. that was a close one.." he mumbled seeing Kolink turn the corner out of the room and walk over Krauss. "Hey Kolink, ya know that walking on people is just plain rude.." he stood up and walked out the door with his pokemon. "Ok Kolink time to go to the machine shop.." he informed his pokemon

Kolink opened her mouth to complain,"Kol...ink.." Why don't we just enjoy ourselves?

"Hey, On second thought let us go enjoy our time here, why not check out that light house, to ya know see how strong you are," Nathaniel stopped crouched down to his pokemon's level and continued,"there are always trainers up their that are willing to battle wit'cha so lets go.." he finished rather enthusiastic. Him and pokemon walked through the town, he saw a couple of other kids from the HQ lab, but decided to ignore them..." he soon found the big light house infront of him, pushed open the door and entered. Krauss walked up to the first step. <It is usually noiser than this..> T'was a bit odd but the boy ignored it. When he was about halfway he was really startled by the no noise fact and whispered,"Hey, there is no noise Kolink, it is a bit odd huh?" The shinx nodded to show agreement. When the trainer reached the top he saw no one, heard nothing and then yelled,"Alright what the heck is going on here...?" taptaptap he heard footsteps approaching him, soon he saw a trainer, who sent out a Poochyena and then just launched an attack at the Shinx. "Hey, what gives man..?" Nate wanted an answer then another move was shot, this one looked like a shadowball, but it covered his body and he tackled.<Huh, Poochyenas cant use shadow ball..> Then he realized that what he had here was no ordinary pokemon, but a shadow pokemon. "Hey Kolink keep on your toes this is a shadow pokemon" he demanded the little pokemon.

"Kolink..." it said in an annoyed voice and then rolled it it's eyes. It took you that long to figue it out.well? Kolink looked at it's trainer and they both nodded. The Shinx knew what to do, and immediately stepped back. It ran forward, flinging it's body into the Poochyena who also did a tackle attack. The two tiny pokemon rammed into eachother and fell to the ground, Kolink scrambling up to it's feet. She looked at her trainer expectantly. Then a Shadow Blitz came it's way.

"Hey Kolink Look out!" he shouted, but it was too late the attack already landed, sending the Shinx sliding across the floor. "Come on Kolink I know you are stronger than that, I know you wouldn't let some shadow pokemon show you up..," he looked down, "would you..?" his voice dropped to a lower level of enthusiam. "If you get back up use leer to weaken it then follow it up with a tackle"

"Kolink!" Kolink said in a determined voice, as it manage to stand up. I Would never. The Shinx began to charge her leer, her eyes glowing and then a beam shooting out of them, it seemed to only phase the pokemon then the Shinx rammed it's body on the gray pokemon, causing it to go back a few tiles and then fall over. "Ink ink kol..." she said in a rather cold voice. You made a bad choice on attacking me.. Without order it smashed it's body into the pokemon struggling to get up."Kol..Kol..ink.. ko ko" Hey Pooch! I am sorry it has to go this way, snap out of this trance you are in, I dont wan't to hurt an innocence. This was a taste of Kolink's nice side, every one had some good in them, every intention was meant in the way of good. Or atleast that is how Krauss and Kolink thought of it.

"Ok, Kolink just one more tackle to finish it off" Krauss ordered in a sweeter tone, knowing that it was hard for Kolink to hurt an innocent.

Kolink tackled the pokemon, causing it to get knocked unconcious. Then she walked away, leaving him there. She followed her trainer that walked down the stairs.

"Kolink, I know that it was hard to take down an innocent like that, but you did a good job" he stopped picked up his pokemon and continued, "I am proud of you for that.. we should go now though, we have to get the invention. Kolink nodded in agreement. Krauss continued down the stairs and out of the light house, not stopping at any luxury places on the way. If the invention meant stopping shadow pokemon he had to get it. He had to for Kolink and that poor Poochyena and any other shadow pokemon along the way. He soon found himself entering the shop, the first thing he noticed was the floor was a bit picked up. Soon an elderly man with a younger kid approached him. "Hey Perr, Hey Makan it is good to see you guys again"

"You too" said Makan. He walked closer to the boy who had just entered, and began to stare him down walking around in circles. "Nathaniel you sure have changed a lot, and for the better, well you finally decided to visit us huh? Do you want some tea or something?" he questioned trying to make Nate feel at home.

"Er.. that isn't exactly as it had happened, but tea would be nice to explain the whole story.."

"Ok" said Makan,"Perr go get the tea please.."

Perr nodded and went to the back, pulling out a tray with three tea cups, a tea pot, sugar cup and some water. He walked carefully over to Makan and handed it to him. Then he bent over picking something up, it was a folding table, a small one not too heavy. He unfolded it and wandered off to get a couple of chairs, returning soon with two and then back off to get another. When everything was in order he sat down in the chair.

"Thank you Perr" Makan said as he poured the tea in Nathaniel's cup and then Perr's and then his. "So, tell me did Prof. Krane send you here?" he questioned stirring some sugar into his tea.

"Yeah he did to pick up an invention of some sort.." he sipped a bit of tea. "So, is it ready?" Makan nodded,but stayed put, so Perr decided to get up.

"Sit Perr, we can not trust Krauss with the machine.. he is a total klutz and will drop it.." with those final words Perr sat down. "So, you have collegaues here as well, no?" he asked.

Krauss nodded,"Yeah I do.. why does that matter?" He questioned wondering why.

"Well," a smile grew over Makan's face,"you are a klutz and until one of them comes to pick up the machine.. I will not hand it over.. I mean when it is all out of my shop it is no longer my responsibillity , I do not want to make another one, understand?"

Krauss nodded,"Well, Kolink I guess we wait.."

(OOC: I was wondering.. after we get the machine's can I go back and try to catch the Poochyena? Sorry if the post is too long..)

Chapter 2: The City By The Sea!
Mike was leaning into the wind as his skateboard zoomed along. Slowly the smell of pine trees and the sound of rivers was replaced by the tang of the sea and the sound of gulls flying overhead. Mike hopped off his board as Gateon Port came into view. He could hear the sound of waves lapping against the coast and the hustle and bustle of people rushing about.

"Well Totodile..." Mike began as he released the Big Jaw Pokemon. "Where do you think the machine shop place is?" Totodile pointed to a shop that had a giant wrench on it. "Yeah...that might work..." Mike said embarressed.

Soon the duo entered the shop...kinda. There was so much stuff in the way the practically had to rip the door off! "Hello?" Mike called out.

"Hello! Is anyone there?" a voice emmenated from somewhere among the heap.

"Yes! Im here to pick up an order for Prof. Krane?"

"Oh yes! I have been expecting you! Please come to the front desk!"

"Yeah...." Mike mumbled as he couldn't see past the tower of junk. Working his way through the junk, Mike finally found the front desk.

Standing behind the counter was a giant of a man wearing large orange overalls. He was bald on top with a large brown mustache. "Hello!" the clerk said. He seemed friendly enough.

"Yeah, hi. Do you have what I came for or what?" Mike said.

"Umm yes..." the man said a little put off by Mike. "Here is what Prof. Krane wanted you to wear." The man handed Mike what looked like a long, electronic glove. It had an ear bud like object attached to it.

"I have to wear this thing?" Mike said skeptical. The man nodded so Mike put it on. It surprisingly fit. "Wow! It feels like im not wearing anything at all......on my arm I mean."

Mike walked out of the part shop flexing his hand with the machine on it. He spotted the local celebrities, Razzel and Dazzel and headed over to them. "Whats up ladies? I was just headed to the gym!" he said flexing his muscles.

"Right..." Razzel said.

"We have to go get ready for a show..." Dazzel muttered and the two hurried off.

"Dont worry...they'll be back." Mike said stupidly. Totodile just rolled his eyes, have to say "Right....You keep tellin yourself that!"

Meanwhile watching Mike trying to hit on Razzel and Dazzel, were two men wearing white uniforms. "Dude look at that kid!" the one with the blue bandanna said.

"I noticed..." the one with the red bandanna said. "He has a Snag Machine."

"What do we do about it?"

"We wait until he goes into the light house. Then we take it!"
 
To Pikalover10: I remember the little virtual battle at the beginning of the game! Good way to pull stuff from the game!
To Lostt: Do not worry at all. I encourage long posts. The longer, the better for me. Just a small problem: You shouldn't really know that the pokemon was a shadow pokemon. You will usually have to identify it using the Snag Machine, but I'll let it slide this time. And second, I do not encourage doing more than one activity in a post if it can be helped. Circle your post around a battle or going to a place, etc.. Don't worry about it too much, just work hard not to do again.
You'll have a chance to capture the Poochyena next chapter. For now, you're finished with this one. :)
To Zimvee: Wut oh. It looks like Mike is in for some trouble. Good post!
 
Chapter Two: Gateon Port


Josh had hoped to find some other way to get to get to Gateon Port, but it was no use. There was no way his dad would have let him use his motor bike, and he didn't know if there were any at the HQ so, he would have to walk. It was painful for him, he had never walked that far in his life.

"Hey Bulbasaur, you wouldn't mind giving me a ride, would you?"

"Bulbasaur!" he said, squinting his eyes. He clearly didn't like that idea.

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry I asked." Josh said, then he stopped walking. "Well, if we're gonna have to keep walking, let's stop for a water break."

Bulbasaur seemed overjoyed at this idea. The two sat down, and Josh pulled a water bottle he had somehow jammed into his pocket. He was glad it kept its contents cold. Otherwise, the water would probably be boiling right about now.

"Of all the regions I had to born in, why did it have to be the one with hot, dusty roads?!"

After drinking his fill, and giving some to Bulbasaur, Josh stood up and said, "Well we better catch up to the others."

It took another half-hour of walking to get to Gateon Port. But when they did, Josh was extremely relieved. After he and Bulbasaur downed the last of their water, he decided to do some sight seeing before he found the Machine Shop.

"What should we do first Bulbasaur?" Josh asked. But as he turned his head, this way and that, he couldn't see Bulbasaur!

"Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur! Where'd you go!?"

Suddenly, Josh heard a faint "Bulba" in the distance. He could barely make out the small Pokémon in the crowd, but he finally figured out where he had gone.

"So, you like the moving bridges, huh?" Josh said, picking up Bulbasaur.

"Bulba!" Bulbasaur replied. They began moving again, and Josh saw at the other end a sign for 'The Krabby Club', whatever that was. They went back and forth on the moving bridges for a while, but then Josh's curiosity got the better of him, and before he knew it, he was standing at the entrance to the Krabby Club.

"Well, this looks interesting," Josh said as he sat down, "but why is it called the Kra…"

All of a sudden, he noticed the performing Krabby on a stage.

"Ah, that's why." Josh said, realizing the stupidity of the question.

He and Bulbasaur sat for a while, watching the show, and, pretty soon, Bulbasaur was imitating a Krabby, trying to do their tricks. Josh laughed, then decided he better go and do what he was sent to do.

Josh leaned over to the man sitting next to him, and asked, "Excuse me sir, but do you know where the Machine Shop is?"

"Heh, that old place? It's down that way." the man said, pointing down the street.

"Thanks, c'mon Bulbasaur."

Josh stood up, and headed for the door, with Bulbasaur quickly following after. After a lot of searching, he finally found the Machine Shop.

"That guy has serious issues with directions. This place was in the opposite direction he said!" Josh said somewhat angrily. "Oh well, I made it here. Anyone home!?"

"I'm coming, I'm coming, no need to shout." called a man from another part of the shop. The man walked over to me, and said "Now, what can I help you with?"

"Professor Krane said you would have some device for me?"

"Oh sure, sure, let me get it out"

The man went to the back, and rummaged through a box. He pulled out a strange looking gadget, and attached to my arm.

"Guy I got it from said it was called a Snag Machine, other than that, I can't tell you much."

Josh turned his arm as far as he could to get as clear of a look as he could, then said, "That's ok, I can figure it out when I get back to the Professor, thanks."

Josh and Bulbasaur walked out, then realized they had neglected one major building in town.

"Wow, I don't know how I missed that!" Josh said, staring at the light house.

"Saur!" Bulbasaur cried.

They walked toward it, wondering what would lie in store once they arrived.
 
Chapter 2: The Lighthouse

Max was walking down the dusty road with trees on the sides of the road. Aki was sleeping peacefully in Max's arms and she had been that way after five minutes of traveling. Max called her back to her pokeball and continued down the dusty path.

"Why does every road I take have to be filled with dust?" Max asked.

Just over some of the tree tops to the east he could see the outsketch of Gateon Port, his next destination. Max jumped up excited and dashed over in that direction. He ran through trees, fell into a freezing cold lake, and got covered in dust. He came to the enterance to the little port city and slowed down. he came to a stop and dusted himself off.

He finished and coughed and gagged a few times then walked slowly up to a sign. The sign said:

Machine SHop: ->
Krabby Club: <-
Pokemart: Up ahead
Lighthouse: <-

"Lighthouse? Oh, right! Ingo said something about the lighthouse and how cool it is from the inside!" Max said looking that way.

He saw the big lighthouse and started jogging that way. He came to a building in the shape of a Krabby with a sign infront that said

"Krabby Club! Were you can grab a drink and watch Krabby dance!" it said.

Max's throat was exceptionally dry and he could go for some entertainment. Max walked inside and was blasted with the smell of fish sticks, crambrule, and krab. Max took a seat as someone came up and asked him what he would liek to eat and drink.

"I would like a Strawberry milkshake and if you have any french fries those too." Max said.

"Ok so a strawberry milkshake and a order of french fries for yer?" the man asked.

"Yes sir." Max said.

"Ok it'll be right out." the man said.

The man wasn't lying. Max had gone to wash his hands and when he came out his order was already there! Max sat down and started chowing down. The Krabby appeared onstage and started dancing to the hoky-poky. Everyone cracked up and then they started dancing to the cotton-eye-joe. Max bursted out laughing and felt like he was going to die.

The Krabby got offstage and then Max left. He took in a deep breath of the sea water air when a boy and a little girl came walking up. The boy had spiky brown hair, he was wearing a yellow shirt, he had blue jeans, black shoes, a black pack around his waist, and a blue headband. The little girl was wearing a white dress and blue leggings. She had blue hair and black eyes and the boy had green eyes. The boy was comforting her because she looked terrified.

"Coco. It's ok just don't go into the lighthouse again for now ok?" the boy asked her.

"Ok big brother Jason." Coco said.

"Why not go to the lighthouse?" Max buted in.

"Because it's crawling with goons and weird pokemon called shadow pokemon." Jason said.

Max froze in terror and the two others walked inside. Max looked at the lighthouse and gritted his teeth. He suddenly dashed towards the lighthouse. He got there in no time and started dashing up the stairs. He didn't encounter anyone until he got to the light. The sun was starting to get lower in the sky and a man was standing there.

Max recognized him. The man was there when Max looked out of his bedroom window earilier that day with a weird looking Poocheyana. The man took out a pokeball and threw it into the air. The gray and black pooch popped out.

Max sent out his little orange chick, Aki.

"Poocheyana use Shadow Blitz." the man said.

The Pocheyana was engulfed in blakc and tackled Aki. It was more powerful then the regular tackle. Max looked at the Poocheyana knowing thisa was going to be hard.

"Aki use Scratch!" Max said.

"Shadow Blitz." the man said.

Aki's claws got sharper as she ran at the Poocheyana, who was engulfed in black and tried tackling her again. Aki jumped at the last minute and clawed it's back after it lost the black engulfment. The Poocheyana fell to the ground, but quickly got up.

"Again Aki."

"Again Poocheyanan."

They went at it again, but this time Poocheyanan hit Aki instead of Aki hitting Poocheyana. The Poocheyana this time, though, fell to his knee and stayed engulfed in black. Max knew what this was called. It was called a shadow pokemon's hyper state.

"Poocheyana!" the man yelled at it.

"Aki Scratch!" Max said.

Aki ran at the Poocheyana who was just recovering from Hyper State. Aki clawed at it's face and then quickly moved out of the way knowing it was going to try to hurt her.

"Use Shadow Blitz and then straight into a Tackle!" the man said.

"Aki Scratch after jumping in air at the last second." Max said.

The Poocheyana was engulfed in black and quickly hit Aki into the air, then it lost the engulfment and tackled Aki into the ground, severly hurting her. Aki strugled to get up, but did. Max noticed the Poocheyana was getting tired and it was hurt from using Shadow Blitz to much. it was taking recoil damage!

"Aki wait for Shadow Blitz to hit you then muster the strength to use Scratch!" Max said.

The Poocheyana without command was engulfed in black and dashed at Aki. She sat there waiting. Then she was hit and quickly clawed the Poocheyana's face. She stepped back a little and then jumped into the air. Then she used Scratch on its back causing it to fall to the ground fainted.

"Yes. aki we won our first battle ever!" Max said rejocing.

"Don't get to coky kid. i will come back and will exterminate you personally." the goon said.

He left and then Max quickly followed. Max decided to sit next to a tree towards the back of Gateon Port to take a quick rest with Aki in his lap.
 
To CTFx: Try to keep the drugs and smoking and stuff to a minimum, alright? Just really to keep this rp friendly. And a Magikarp doesn't evolve by a water stone, but the battle still looks like it is gonna be interesting.

To Pikalover10: That was a good first battle!
Aki grew to level 7!
Aki learned Focus Energy!
To Lostt: I apologize. I never gave you Kolink's battle experience from the battle.
Kolink grew to level 7!
 
"Psst, hey, there's another kid here with a Snag Machine!" whispered a shady looking character from inside the light house.

"Yeesh, this must be our lucky day! With all these kids walking around with Snag Machines, you'd think there was a conspiracy or somethin'."

"So are we gonna take it, I mean, what if he knows how it works, it could be trouble."

"I think we'll take our chances."

Josh kept going toward the Lighthouse, feeling extremely excited. He'd never seen, much past home, and now, he was having a once in a lifetime adventure! Even though technically the Lighthouse wasn't supposed to be part of that adventure.

"Hello, anybody home?" Josh said, stepping inside.

"Hmm, I wonder if I'm not supposed to be here…" Josh said

"Bulba…" Bulbasaur said, peeking from behind Josh's legs.

Josh decided he had better go. But as always his curiosity got the better of him, and he slowly started up the stairs.

"Stop right there, Mr." a man said, suddenly appearing on the stairs. "This is for authorized people only."

Josh looked surprised, but didn't argue. He was just about to leave when the man said, "Hey wait a second, isn't that a Snag Machine?"

Josh looked down at his arm and replied, "Yes, just picked it up, why?"

"Oh, would you mind if I tried it on, I've always wanted to see one of those!"

"I don't think that's a good idea, I don't even know what it does yet."

"Well, I might be able to figure it out, c'mon, hand it over."

"No, that's ok, I'm going to see someone who knows exactly what this is, so I'll just ask him. Thanks though."

Josh was once again about to step out the door, when he again was interrupted by the man shouting. "Wait! If I can't get it from you the easy way, then I guess there's only one other choice."

"You let me go peacefully?" Josh asked hopefully.

"Funny. Go Rattata!" A small purple, yet surprisingly dangerous looking rat appeared out of his Pokéball.

"Go Bulbasaur!" Bulbasaur, since he hadn't been in his ball, simply charged forward into the fray.

"Well, let's say I go first!" said the man. "Shadow Blitz!"

"Shadow Blitz!? What the heck is tha…"

But before Josh could even finish his sentence, his Bulbasaur was hit hard by Rattata's attack. It had been like a tackle, but more powerful, and the weirdest part of all was that the Rattata had a black aura flowing from it!

"Ok, we can still do this!" Josh said to himself. "Just didn't expect a Shadow Pokémon on the first battle of my adventure…"

"Bulbasaur, Tackle!"

Bulbasaur charged as fast as his short legs would carry him, and slammed into Rattata. Rattata skidded backward a bit, but was quickly back in the battle.

"Rattata, use your Tackle!"

"Bulbasaur, Growl!"

As Rattata charged, Bulbasaur simply growled sweetly. Upon seeing this, Rattata slowed his charge just a bit.

"No! Don't fall for that fool's trick!" the man shouted angrily.

"Now, use Tackle again Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur didn't nearly have enough time to get a running start, so instead, he leapt forward as hard as he could. Because of Rattata's weakened attack, they did equal amounts of damage, and fell to the floor.

"C'mon you stupid Rattata! Get up!"

Both Pokémon stood to their feet, but it was clear that Bulbasaur was weakening.

"We need a new tactic…" Josh thought. Suddenly he heard his opponent shouting.

"Rattata, use Quick Attack!"

Rattata zipped forward, at a speed that Josh hadn't anticipated. Josh braced himself for a disaster. But as Rattata leapt at Bulbasaur, he did one of the things he did best. He laid down!

"Bulbasaur, what are you…" But then he saw what was going on.

The Rattata was running at such a high speed, he couldn't stop himself in midair, and flew directly over Bulbasaur's head, into the wall!

"Awright! Great thinking Bulbasaur!"

"No! You foolish Rattata!"

"Now, Bulbasaur, one final Tackle should do it!"

"Rattata Shadow Blitz!"

But in his dazed state from hitting the wall headfirst, Rattata simply stumbled around, as Bulbasaur hit him with a devastating Tackle attack. Then again, it was only devastating since Rattata was almost down anyway.

"Rattata is unable to battle! Josh wins!" Josh shouted, imitating a referee he once saw on TV. Then as he returned Bulbasaur to his Pokéball, he smirked, the way he always did when he won something..

"I'll get you back for this! You'll see!" the man said as he returned his Rattata.

"Well, that was exciting!" Josh said as he headed out of the Lighthouse. I guess I better head back to the HQ. Never did see the top of the Lighthouse though.
 
To SuperJ-GOF: Good first battle post!
Bulbasaur grew to level 7!
Bulbasaur learned Leech Seed!
 
Max quickly shot up to his feet remembering that he had to get a pickup.

"Come on Aki. We gotta go get the snag machine." Max said to the chick that was trying to get to its feet.

Max picked Aki up and sat her down on her feet. Then he raced of towards the junk shop that he saw on his way to the lighthouse. Max stopped infront of a building that looked torn down and grabbed the door knob. Max gently pulled on the knob and it the knob crashed onto the floor. Then the door slammed into Max's face making him fall to the ground.

"This just isn't my day." Max complained getting up.

A man wearing an orange shirt, blue overalls, a straw hat, and brown boots stepped out.

"Are ya Max?" the man asked.

"Yeah but-" the man cut Max of.f.

"Here is ya snag machine. Professor Krane told us that ya were coming by and picking it up. Well, there it is." the man said handing Max a machine.

Max took the machine. It was gray and black and had faint red lines glowing. Max put it on his right arm. It was a perfect fit! Max quickly removed it incase the machine wasn't ment for him. He thanked the man and went over to the maving bridges.

He heard that they were conveniant for getting around town, but they were also really fun to play on. Then a bridge started moving towards him. It connected with the concrete and Max stepped on to it. Aki stayed on the concrete knowing this was a bad idea. Max contined jumping from bridge to bridg when they got near him. Then he jumped on one and accidentally slipped and fell into the water.

He swam over to a port and got onto the land. Aki ran over to him and stayed atleast ten paces behind him. Max coughed water up and then sat in the sun drying off.

(Sorry it is kind of short:))
 
Chapter 3: Battle at the Lighthouse!
Meanwhile watching Mike trying to hit on Razzel and Dazzel, were two men wearing white uniforms. "Dude look at that kid!" the one with the blue bandanna said.

"I noticed..." the one with the red bandanna said. "He has a Snag Machine."

"What do we do about it?"

"We wait until he goes into the light house. Then we take it!"
-----------------------------------------​
Mike was sitting in the outside area of the Krabby Club sipping a drink. The sun was getting low in the sky setting everything in an orange hue. Totodile was down below on the beach playing the sand. As Mike watched, the lighthouse light flickered on flipping around in a circle every few minutes.

"Excuse me..." Mike said as he called a waiter over.

"Yes Sir?" the waiter said.

"Is the lighthouse open to the public?"

"Why yes it is. Its mostly where local trainers go to battle." he explained.

"Intresting..." Mike said with a coy smile playing over his features. Paying for his beverage, Mike called Totodile over and they both headed for the light house.

Meanwhile in the shadows nearby....

"Yo dude! The kid with the Snag Machine is headed for the lighthouse!" the man with the blue bandanna said.

"Excellent. Lets give him a proper tour eh?" the man with the red bandanna said with an dark chuckle.
-------------------------------------​
"WOW!" Mike exclaimed as he neared the lighthouse. "Its so frekin big!"
The old doors opened with a creek and Mike stepped inside feeling like an intruder. As the doors began to shut, two figures lept in.

Mike began to wander up the many flights of stairs in the dark halls.

"Stop right there boy!" a voice cried out. Standing at the top of the stairs was two men wearing white metalic uniforms, one with a blue bandanna and one with a red bandanna. "How bout you hand over that thing on your arm?" the one with the blue bandanna said.

"How bout....no." Mike replied.

"How bout....we use force to take it?"

"How bout you #@$% off?" Mike said getting a little pissed off.

"Grr... you need to learn some respect for your elders!" the blue guy said as he threw out a Poochyena.

"Bring it on Gramps!" Mike taunted as he sent out Totodile. As Mike glanced at Poochyena the thing on his arm started acting up. From the head piece out came a green lens that covered Mike's left eye. "Whoa! Holy crap!" he cried out in surprise. As Mike was looking at Poocheyna through the lens he saw a dark aura surrounding it. "What is that?" he asked increduiously.

"See! See Boss! You were right! It is a...." the blue bandanna guy began.

"Hush now and finish this guy off!" the red guy said cutting him off.

"Right. Poochyena use Shadow Blitz!"

The Bite Pokemon glowed purple and charged at Totodile.

"Totodile dodge and use Scratch!" Mike commanded.

"Tot!" Totodile cried as he jumped into the air and brought a sharp claw down on the head of Poochyena.

"Poocheyna!" it cried as the purple aura surrounded it again and threw Totodile off its head.

"Totodile!" Mike cried as the Big Jaw Pokemon came crashing down in front of him. "Quick! Use that plan I taught you!"

Totodile grabbed the ground like he was about to hike a football and perpelled himself at Poochyena. Once he was in the air, Totodile stuck his arms out like wings and began to spin himself!

"What is that?!" The mystery man cried.

"That is our special Scratch Cyclone!" Mike cried with a grin.

Poochyena was then caught in Totodile's attack becoming a mess of scratches and bruises before falling uncounsious.

"GRR...Boss help me!" the man said.

"I think thats enough for today. Come. We're leaving." the man with the red bandanna said.

"Um sure! Whatever you say!" the one with the blue bandanna said.

"What was that all about?" Mike wondered as the sun dipped below the horizon casting everything in darkness.
 
To Pikalover10: You got the Snag Machine and I guess that is all that really matters. But it could have been a little longer.

To Zimvee: Good battle! I love reading about Mike so far. He has a personality that I find...amusing I guess.
Totodile grew to level 7!
Totodile learned Water Gun!

To Everybody: The next chapter will be up soon. Look for it in this post.

Chapter 3: Back at the Lab
(1 Post)​
Description: You return to the lab, maybe excited or indifferent. You hold the Snag Machine on your arm with the knowledge that the professor will soon teach you how to use it. But there is trouble as you reach the lab.

Figures stand outside the lab. They don't look good with their masks on their face, so you do not know what is going on. You stop in front of the crew, confused.

"You won't be going to that lab," said one of the members. He held up a pokeball in his hand and pointed it at all the trainers. These guys are not good. They are trying to keep you out of the lab so you won't learn anything about the Snag Machine.

Before you know it, you're in the middle of a battle with one of the mysterious characters with your beginner pokemon. As you battle, you hear somebody shout at you and turn to see some of the lab assistants. They throw you a pokeball and point at the variety of opposing pokemon.

"Those are Shadow Pokemon!" one of them shout. "Use the pokeball and snag it back from those guys!"

You hold the pokeball for a few moments before more shouts come from the lab. You look over your shoulder and see the professor. He is being forcefully dragged to a truck by two more of the strange characters, but you're too busy with your own battle to help. As the professor is being carried away, you throw the pokeball at the Shadow Pokemon, and it is devored in it.

The other trainers have done this as well, and the characters leave in panic. You go over, pick up the ball with the new shadow pokemon in it, and go over to meet the upset assistants and your comrade trainers.

What You Do: You must battle one of the strange characters with your beginner Pokemon against one of the pokemon listed below. Once one person takes a pokemon, it is gone. Describe your battle all up until an assistant throws you a pokeball and then describe you capturing the pokemon. The level of the pokemon will depend on how well your post is, so keep that in mind.

Max, realizing that the snag machine was ment for him put it back on and left down the dusty trail once again to the lab. The trail hadn't changed since he was last on it. The only difference is that there were boot prints in the sand and they were still fresh.

"Whoever was here earlier definetly kicked up a lot of dirt." Max said coughing.

He came up to the lab eventually after what seemed like hours and noticed 8 suspicious charecters standing outside the lab. 7 other trainers were battling these suspicious charecters and Max rushed up to the scene.

One of the men who wasn't battling turned to face him.

"You won't be going into the lab." he said.

These guys were bad business. The man took out a pokeball and pointed it at Max. Max grabbed Aki's pokeball and pointed it at the man. Simetaneosly the man and Max pressed the button in the middle of the ball sending there pokemon out.

Aki came out and looked serious then a gray and black dog appeared out of the man's. Max looked closer at the man.

"Wah! You're the guy I battled earlier at the lighthouse!" Max realized.

"Wah. You're the snot nosed brat that I'm gonna kick the crud out of right here and now." the man said.

"Oh yeah? Aki use Scratch!" Max said.

"Poocheyana use Shadow Blitz." the man said.

The Poocheyana was engulfed in black and dashed at Aki. Aki jumped and did a foreward flip over the Poocheyana and then scratched its back.

"Good. Now Focus Energy while its confused."

"Tackle Poocheyana."

Aki stood there focusing with beams floating around her. The Poocheyana tackled her to the ground when Aki had just finished.

"Now Scratch."

Aki's claws got sharper and she scratched the Poocheyana's stomach.

"Poochey!" the pokemon yelped in pain.

Aki got to her feet and knocked the Poocheyana into a tree with her head.

"Scratch again."

Aki ran over to the dog and scratched its head causing it to land on the ground severly hurt.

"Poocheyana use Shadow Blitz." the man said.

Poocheyana hopped to its feet and was engulfed in black again. It tackled Aki to the ground and then took recoil damage.

"Get it off of you with Scratch Aki!" Max said.

Aki scratched its stomach and then pushed with her claws. It was sent flying away from her while she gasped for air.

"Max!" someone shouted.

Max looked passed the man's head and saw Ingo. Max's eyes grew the size of saucer plates then.

"Max they promoted me to a lab assistant! Isn't that great? Anyway, those are shadow pokemon. You can catch them with the snag machine as long as you have some sort of pokeball. Here's one." Ingo said throwing a pokeball to Max.

Max caught the pokeball and stood there wondering what to do next. Then Ingo gasped looking at something behind Max. Max turned around seeing two mysterious people smuggling Professor Krane into a truck. Max looked at Ingo who dashed between two pokemon battles going on and pushed one of the smugglers away. Then the man grabbed Ingo's hair and threw him on the side of truck.

Ingo landed in the dirt, his face bleeding, knocked out.

"Ingo!" Max said getting ready to go help his friend when.

"Shadow Blitz."

the Poocheyana got to its feet and hit Aki into a tree.

"Max you gotta snag that Poocheyana and then help Ingo!" an assitant said.

"Aki use Scratch." Max said.

Aki ran and scratched the Poocheyana's face causing it to fall to the ground.

"Go, pokeball!" Max said.

The Poocheyana was engulfed into the pokeball as it riggled back and forth, back an forth. Then it stopped and Max had snagged his first pokemon! Max picked it up and then rushed over to Ingo. Getting ready to get Ingo the truck started and dashed away. Max was getting ready to chase them but then turned to Ingo.

"Ingo!" Max said shaking Ingo.

He looked back to see the men scrounging into another truck and then he picked Ingo up. The other truck sped off and a lab assistant helped Max with Ingo. They rushed him into the HQ lab's hospital and Ingo was rushed into the emergency room.

Max sat in the waiting room for a few hours and then eventually was let inside.

"He has to get a few stiches on his forehead were the cut happened, he has a broken nose, and for some reason it's getting harde for him to breathe...He might not be able to make it Max...I'm sorry." the doctor said.

The doctor left the room and Max's eyes started tearing up.

"Ingo." Max said remembering him and Ingo playing in the forest.

Then Ingo's eyes opened.

"Max." he whispered.

Max smiled realived.

"Ingo. It's so great that you got promoted into a lab assistant-" Ingo cut Max off.

"Where is Professor Krane? Did you snag that Poocheyana?" Ingo asked not moving.

"Umm. Professor Krane was kidnapped and yeah...I snagged the Poocheyana." Max said.

"Oh. Good. Poocheyana was snagged." Ingo said.

Then Ingo lost conciousness again.

"Ingo." Max said.

The doctor came in and took Max out of the room. Max then and there swore that he would take down the person who did that to Ingo and the group of thugs he had joined.

((OOC: Tell me if I need to edit anything and I will:)))

To Pikalover10: Poor Ingo. :( Anyways, good post. It is a great example of what I wanted.
You Snagged a Level 6 Male Poochyena!
 
Chapter 3: Back at the Lab

Krauss sat and waited, he some of the other kids at the lab coming in and going. "Oh, see it is just an arm thingie.. you should let me have it.." he whined, while walking over to another area in the shop. In this area he messed around with a few things and plugged a few things in. Suddenly something roared into life. It was a computer like device, it blinked odd colors and displayed lots of texts on the screen. "What in the world..?" he questioned as Makan came up to him.

"Ah, you got that working, how splendid" he patted him on the back,"now I remember the non klutzy side of you, feel free to take the machine." he turned his attention away from everyone else and began pressing buttons."Oh Perr will you go fetch it for Nathaniel?" he said in a more of a demanding voice.

"Yeah.." Perr yelled back, getting out of his chair. He went into the back room pushed around a few boxes and found it. He went outside of the room and handed it to Krauss."Here ya go, promise you will visit before anything big happens" Perr said in a simple voice.

Krauss nodded,"I will Perr...," he began to walk out the door,"Come on Kolink" he called to his pokemon, who snapped out of it's nap. He went to the outskirts of the town and to his luck saw a bus. He got on it.

~~~~~~
A little bit later it dropped him off at the HQ lab. He got off the bus while attaching the snag machine. He saw Max just finish a battle with a man in a mask, so he just expected them to be bad and sent Kolink into battle with one. The attacker was female, Krauss could tell by the voice and hair.

"Alright, let us finish these punks off, they are really annoying,what.. one of you lost to a kid.. pfft I knew we shouldn't of trusted new recruits.." The most of that was mumbling to herself that was just barley able to be made out. She raised her arm, tossing a Budew out of pokeball. "Alright, Budew use Shadow Blitz now!" she commanded with great ferocity in her voice. The pokemon had a purplish-black, flame-like aura engulf it, before it threw it's body at Kolink.

The machine attached to Krauss did some sort of transformations, a green lens shot out and he was able to see that the pokemon was a shadow pokemon. "Kolink, Dodge it quick!" he commanded the Kolink, but it was to late. The Shinx flew back a bit, catching itself. "Ok, Kolink use tackle!" The Kolink nodded and flung itself at the Budew, who barley moved from spot. "Kolink, this battle is going to be a bit harder than the last one, I really need you to focus on it, Ok?" he stepped back,"The next time it uses that move jump, or duck wich ever way will alow you to dodge it." Kolink nodded, and without order flung itself at the Budew. The Budew didn't even budge this time.

"Alright,Budew use Shadow Blitz once more" the female soldier commanded, pointing a finger at Kolink.

The Budew jumped in the air, flinging it's body at Kolink. The aura made the move even stronger, but luckily the Budew missed Kolink, just barely, hitting the ground, and taking recoil damage. It let out a whine.

"Kolink..ink..kol" I will not fight this pokemon any more..Kolink plopped herself down, refusing to move, no matter what Krauss said, taking a blow from another Shadow Blitz.

"Oh, Come on Kol-" he was cut off by a lab assistant yelling catch. <Why, Catch.. every one knows that I can't catch..> The pokebal began soaring towards him, so he dove on the ground to recover it. He stood up and yelled,"I got it" at the same time he flailed his arms around, and flung the ball between the attackers legs. She then picked it up. "Please, Kolink, If you get that ball we won't have to hurt this Budew any more, Please...please.. use a leer on the Budew then tackle it aside.." Nate pleaded.

"ink...kol...ink..kolink"I will do it, but I wont like it.. Kolink's eyes began to grow a yelow as her leer charged. Then she shot out a beam that hit the Budew, seemingly doing nothing. It didn't do anything physically, but more on a mental state, but not quite mentally. Kolink went into a tackle, flinging the Budew into a tree.

"Budew!" spat the female, getting angrier. "Use Absorb." she said in a cold voice. The Budew did an absorb, what seemed to be rays of light in bubble form, went from Kolink to Budew, who then regained a lot of energy. Then the she trainer mumbled something and Budew used Shadow Blitz, it's body getting engulfed in a purplish flame again. It charged at the energy drained Kolink, sending it skipping across the ground.

"Kol....ink.." the Shinx said in a determined voice.I wont lose...
She dodged another Shadow Blitz and the Budew smacked into the lab wall, also taking recoil damage. She ducked under another Shadow Blitz, the attack seeming much different. The first couple of times was a tackle like move this one pound. <Odd.. isn't a Shadow pokemon supposed to be doing it's base move, witch a Budew's is pound...> why it was using tackle hadn't occured to Kolink.<Some..> she ducked under a Shadow Blitz pound,<Sort of..> she ducked under another one,<defection..?> she wondered. Kolink glanced over at the Budew, who looked extremely exhausted and couldn't move, it was in it's hyper state. She rammed it with a tackle, and then charged at the trainer, ramming her.

"Aggh, you little b-" she was cut off by another tackle. This time the pokeball rolled from her hand to Krauss, who picked it up. "Kid, I won't lose to you.." she said even in a colder voice than before. "Alright, Budew use absorb..." the Budew snapped out of it's form and began to use Absorb.

"No, I wont lose" Krauss told her he threw the pokeball on the Budew. It began to move around, in small shifts. "You are the one gonna lose Ma'am" Krauss told her as the ball stopped. He ran up and picked it up. "Now, you should leave before things get ugly Ma'am..." said Krauss in a teasing voice on the Ma'am part.

"Dammit.." she said as she ran off, leaving everything behind.

Krauss whiped sweat off his brow, then passed out from exhaustion.
