Saphire woke up seeing a dark cloud overhead. He stood up and then looked around the sky. Thw whole sky was covered in dark clouds. Then, Saphire remembered that Shocker was an electric type pokemon. He decided that this would be the perfect time to train him and then called him out along with Ingo.

He picked Ingo and Shocker up and walked over to an open field. Then, it started raining and lightning came from everywhere in the sky. Shocker purred with delight and jumped out of Saphire's arms. He danced around on the grass as the sky kept on clapping thunder from the sky. The thunder would dance down to the ground on its spindly legs.

Saphire smiled and ran over to Shocker. He grabbed him and then sat Shocker down. Shocker didn't like it to much and bit Saphire's hand. Saphire realed his hand back and then popped Shocker on his head.

"No!" Saphire said firmly.

Shocker backed up and then sat there looking very sad. Saphire went over and then held Shocker down. After a few minutes Shocker bit Saphire again and the result was the same. He did it again and a half hour later Shocker was still sitting there quietly. Saphire stood up and streched. His back was killing him. Then Shocker ran around chasing Ingo. Ingo teleported and accidently appeared over Shocker's head. Ingo landed on Shocker and then he got really mad. Shocker started chasing Ingo around the whole field furiously.

Saphire sighed and then ran and grabbed Shocker's tail.

"No!" Saphire said firmly again.

Shocker stopped and looked confused. Saphire guessed that Shocker was raised to do anything back to someone if they did it to you. Saphire shook his head and Shocker nodded. Saphire let Shocker's tail go and Shocker jumped into Saphire's arms and licked his face. Saphire laughed and Ingo jumped onto Shocker again, but this time Shocker started wrestling with Ingo instead of intentionaly trying to hurt him.

Saphire sat under a tree as the two played. He knew Shocker still needed to be trained a little, and it mostly is only the battling part. The sky started clearing up and Saphire realized it was night time. He called Shocker and Ingo over to him and the two laid in his lap. The trio of friends slept there for the entire night, and al was calm.

Pikalover10: That was a fine post, short and sweet. =) Shocker has finally learnt how to be a good Pokemon, well... at least a little.

Hearing the ball go "ding" was music to Gale's ears. She picked up the PokeBall, and immediately called out the Nincada that had given her so much trouble. She took out her Pokedex, and looked at its data.

"So you're a boy... Not to be sexist or anything, but it fits your personality, Furi..." she muttered, still staring at the Nincada. The Nincada looked around, as if trying to find a way to escape. Oh, no you don't, Gale thought. Chi, as if able to read her master's mind, pounced in front of Furi, then motioned to Twi. Twi held up the Nincada and bear-hugged him so he couldn't run away.

"Hey!" A voice from in the forest's entrance called. "How's about you and me battle?" Gale turned to face a big-faced, loud-mouthed male with many, many bald spots on his scalp. As if Gale had already answered, he threw a PokeBall, sending out a cute Sunkern. Gale had no choice but to laugh.

"Oh my god, that SO does not fit your personality!!!" she exclaimed, laughing and pointing at the innocent-looking Sunkern. "But if it's a fight you want (hehehe), then it's a fight you'll get! OK, Twi, let Furi battle!" Chi glared at Gale, probably because SHE wanted to fight, but stepped back anyways. Twi let go of Furi, and immediately, Furi began running away. Chi stopped him in his tracks. She growled at him, and as if she had told him to battle that thing (which she probably did say in her growls; Gale wasn't quite sure), Furi scurried towards the Sunkern.

"OK, Furi, LEECH LIFE!!!" Furi shot out a poison dart at the Sunkern. It cringed, and immediately some of its life force went straight to Furi. It immediately lost consciousness, and Gale looked at the trainer in disapproval.

"Geesh, I thought you were supposed to be great and all, but you couldn't even stand your ground..." she said in an annoyed tone. The trainer then gained a furious look on his face, and sent out his next Pokemon. A Sunflora, perhaps? Gale looked at her Pokedex. Yup, it's Sunkern's evolution... Wonder how much stronger it is, seeing how all you need to evolve Sunkern is with a Sun Stone? Gale wondered.

"SUNFLORA, TEACH THAT BRAT A LESSON!!! MEGA DRAIN!!!" The Sunflora immediately held up its arm, and Furi's life force was sapped. Furi shuddered a bit, but repeated its last move, sending out its poison dart, and sapped the Sunflora's energy. But this time, it seemed to hold its ground.

"Now, Sunflora, Grasswhistle!" The Sunflora started singing a strange tune, and immediately Chi and Twi fell asleep. But Furi seemed to be unaffected, and Gale assumed it was because of its quirky personality that it was like this.

"Again, Furi, Leech Life!" Gale called. A repeated attack again. And because of its ability, there was rarely a chance that Furi would've missed. It seemed the Sunflora this time fell flat on its back, and from the looks of it, it probably wasn't going to get back up again. Gale naturally assumed Furi landed a critical hit this time, as the Sunflora seemed to be at a much higher level. The weird kid recalled his Sunflora and immediately ran back into the forest. Gale sighed, appeased at the fact she had won.

(OK, just a quick question: Are you following Plat. level up, or D/P level up? 'Cause at level 13 (which will take a while for Chi), Shinx learn Bite in D/P. But in Plat., it learns Spark. Now, personally, Spark would be a better choice, since the previous move Shinx learns is Charge, but that's just me.)

Chapter 4: Poor Pokemon.

Saphire sat in the branches of a hard tree. The tree was dry-rotting but Saphire didn't care. He looked around wearily. Saphire was trying to train Shocker, but he had run away after something's tail...wait...tails. Something that was orange had two tails and they were sticking out of a bush. Shocker noticed these and ran after them. Saphire and Ingo followed him into the bushs of the route but lost him.

Saphire saw no sign of him. Suddenly Ingo popped in front of him and shook his head. Saphire had sent Ingo out to look for him. Saphire sighed and then jumped off the tree branch. He mopped back onto the trail of Route 2.

Saphire walked down the very mossy trail and occasionally looked up thinking he had headr Shocker, but he never had. Ingo was trailing behind Saphire looking into all the bushs.

Meanwhile---

Shocker was now dashing at the orange pokemon. It's tails were orange and the tips were tan. They were almost to a clearing and hopefully Saphire was there. The strange pokemon jumped out into the clearing. Shocker ran behind and then quickly stopped of the sight he saw. It was a descent sized cliff with a river below. The pokemon obviously didn't know this and began plummeting into the water.

It hit the water with a loud splash and Shocker lost sight of it. Shocker turned carefully around and left the area.

---

Saphire was still worried about Shocker. It had been a good hour since Shocker went missing. What if it was trap? What if somebody poached Shocker. Saphire had stopped in front of a descent sized rock and was eating a PB+J sanwhich and Ingo was having half of a PB+J sandwhich.

Saphire looked out into an opening and saw the sun on the horizon. It was shining brightly, showing its happy face with bright gleeming teeth. Not with a care in the world, but the moon which was barely visable in the sky was totally different. It was sad and gloomy, with nothing, but cares in the world and never showed its happy face or gleeming teeth, but its sad unhappy face.

Something rustled in the bushs near them and Saphire jumped. Then Shocker walked out of them. Saphire was sure his heart had skipped two beats then. He ran and dived at Shocker. Saphire grabbed him and started laughing and holding him tightly. Ingo was happy, but was staring at something in the ocean across from them.

Saphire set Shocker down and went up to Ingo looking at the thing. It was orange, had two blue flipper things, a yellow float around its neck, and had two orange tails. Whatever it was, it was the thing that Shocker went after! Saphire then dashed of towards it. He slid in the sand and then fell into the ater. He swam a few feet out and then grabbed the pokemon, and swimmed it back to shore.

It sat there for half an hour and then began opening its eyes. They were emerald green. It saw Shocker and was quickly on its feet.

"Bui Bui!" it said threateningly.

Saphire pulled his pokedex and then scanned it.

Buizel, the sea weasel pokemon. It swims by rotating its two tails like a propellar. When it dives its floatation sac colapses.

Saphire smirked and then looked down at Shocker who was rearing to go. Ingo climbed up to Saphire's head and sat patiently.

"Ok. Shocker use, Tackle!" Saphire said.

Shocker ran at the Buizel. The Buizel stood there motionless. Shocker hit Buizel's stomach and sent him flying into the air. The Buizel's tails started shining and then it sent a sonicboom attack out at Shocker! Shocker was hit and was sent flying into a tree. Then the Buizel landed softly on the ground and rammed Shocker into a tree. Shocker yelped out in pain and then slid down the tree to the ground.

" Shocker Tackle!" Saphire said.

Shocker rose up to his feet and then ran at the Buizel. He knocked her to the ground and then pinned her down on her shoulders. Then the Buizel's tails glowed again. Shocker was quick this time and jumped off just in time to dodge it. Then he tackle her to the ground and stood on her tail this time.

"Again." Saphire said.

Shocker then jumped in the air and did a Body Slam kind of move and crushed Buizel under the rocks. Buizel yelped in pain and then Knocked off Shocker. Shocker realed around and bit Buizel's tail. Buizel's tail then glowed and sent Shocker flying into a tree. Shocker hit the tree and then slid down.

Shocker Tackle!" Saphire said.

Shocker heard the command but just sat there with his head bent down.

"Come on Shocker get in there!" Saphire pleaded.

Shocker just sat there, and Saphire knew why. Shocker's spirit was being depleted, because he was losing to a water type, and it was a girl. Saphire then turned his head towards Ingo who nodded and jumped down from his shoulder.

"Teleport!"

Ingo disappeared and reappered behind the Buizel. He hit the Buizel's back with his foot, sending her flying into the ocean water. She stood up and then sent a Sonicboom flying at him. Ingo disappeared and reappered behind her again. This time she hit him and he was sent flying into the water. Saphire looked behind him at Shocker. Shocker was still sitting there gloomy, Saphire litteraly felt like crying but quickly turned the other way.

"Teleport!" Saphire said.

Ingo disappeared and within a matter of seconds reappeared in front of Buizel. He hit her in her stomach and she fell to the ground.


"Ok. Go, pokeball!" Saphire said.


The buizel disappeared into a pokeball and then it wriggled back and forth...back and forth...until....

Chapter 4: Route 2 (1)

Holly and Pikachu left the Pokemon Center once again, this time with the intention of continuing on, which, according to the map posted in the Pokemon Center, meant they had to travel past Route 2, she would check the rest later, she had a map tucked in her backpack, it had just seemed stupid to take it out when there was a large one hanging on the wall in front of her anyways.

"So, you ready to continue?" Holly asked Pikachu, knowing that she would get an agreeable and enthusiastic "yes!" or rather, "chu!" In reply.

"Chu!" Pikachu agreed, licking the ketchup off its paws, and taking its time in doing so, while Holly waited patiently for it to finish. When it finally did, Pikachu lost no time in pelting towards the outskirts of Ocean Jewel Town. Holly sighed good naturedly, she had learned that this was 'typical Pikachu,' after the short time that they had known each other. Then she followed her Pokemon, nearly losing sight of Pikachu once, though catching sight of the bright yellow Pokemon again quickly.

"Stop...please...I've got...to catch...breath..." Holly panted after they had been running for several minutes, maybe about five. Their run had taken them to the edge of the town, and Holly, looking about them, saw a sign with the words, "Route 2," carved into the light, weathered wood. Pikachu, immediately after spotting it, ran towards the sign and climbed on top of it, sitting up straight and proud, and looking imperiously around, purposefully, she supposed, thinking that Pikachu looked very much like a Staravia, or some other impressive bird-like Pokemon, perched purposefully atop a branch, though she was still too out of breath to comment.

"Okay...I'm good now, let's go." She declared several short moments later, and Pikachu, leaping down from its perch, led the way one again.

"Pika!" It cried, as it spotted something up ahead. Pikachu ran forward quickly, and Holly followed, wondering what on earth it could be. As soon as she saw it, she gasped with astonishment.

An orange, mammalian Pokemon was flopped on the ground in front of them, looking utterly tired and weak. It seemed to have been attacked or something, though by what Holly had no clue. First things first, though, she had to find out what Pokemon this was. Taking it out her Pokedex, she directed it towards the Pokemon, reading the information that blinked up at her.

Buizel
The Sea Weasel Pokemon
It has a floatation sac that is like an inflatable collar. It floats on the water with its head out, and swims by rotating its two tails like a screw. When it dives, its floatation sac collapses.

"Buizel...well, what happened to it?" Holly asked, running forward to kneel by the Buizel's side. It appeared to take no notice of her, though its twitched slightly. "I think it's been hurt..." Holly whispered, as she ran her hand over the Buizel's fur, and noting that it winced with pain as she touched its front paw.

"Darn, what am I supposed to do? I'm no doctor, here, Pikachu, help me." She removed a bandage from her backpack, her mother had given her the entire outrageous set, all packed tightly into a first aid kit, and for the first time, she was incredibly grateful, she ought to thank her mother for packing it. Unwinding the bandage carefully, she wrapped it around the Buizel's paw, binding it up, and hoping it would hold until they reached the next town. Afterward, she took out the Potion that she had purchased, and carefully treated the Buizel's wounds, or as many as she could, anyway, trying hard to ignore the grimaces of pain.

"I know it stings, I'm sorry," she murmured, "just understand that I'm not trying to hurt you." Poor Pokemon, she thought at the same time, it would really stink to be in the situation it was in. Finally, she managed to get it cleaned up, and watched with satisfaction as it pulled itself into a sitting position, blinking at Holly and Pikachu as if only noticing them for the first time. Now how were they going to get it to a Pokemon Center?

Struck by a sudden thought, Holly took out a Pokeball, which grew in size as she held it in her hand, then she held it out towards the Buizel.

"Here, if you want, you can go in here, so that we can take you to a Pokemon Center, and so you can rest..." She said softly to the Buizel, which seemed to think over what she had just said.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." She whispered reassuringly, taking notice of the Buizel's apprehensive stare, and slowly, it nodded. With an answering nod, Holly opened the Pokeball, which seemed to suck Buizel inside in a red glow of light. Then the Pokeball fell to the ground, shaking from side to side as Holly and Pikachu stared fixedly at it, not knowing whether the Buizel would understand that it's got to stay in there so that they can get it to a Pokemon Center, and so it would be safe, or not.

 

[Swift!]

Pikataro: It was a good battle, but you were only allowed 2 posts for Route 2. I'm giving you a warning and Furi isn't going to recieve as much experience as it should, next time try to be more careful.

Pikalover10: That was a good post. A little jumbled and confusing at parts, but good.
You caught a Level 4 Female Buizel!

Slytherfang: Holly to the rescue! Poor Buizel... =(
You rescued a Level 5 Male Buizel!

Chapter 6: Battle for the Gold

Everyone was excited, more than they had ever had been before. The elderly who had seen every competition had never seen a contest like this before. Never had there been a tie before for the gold and now the returning champion, Brandon was too selfess to share it. He declared that a pokemon match would be used to decide who would te whole contest.

Bret was laying in the hot sand, trying to capture back his breath. The sand stuck easily to his arms and got into his growing hands. His clothes were somewhat messed up from the running and him throwing his body quickly on the sand. He got up in a few short seconds from the curious eyes watching him. They were waiting to see what Bret did.

Brandon walked over with a pokeball in his hand. He stood extremely close to Bret to where his chest was right in his face. Bret had completely forgotten how much taller this teen was more than him.

"Well, are we gonna have a pokemon battle or do I win?" Brandon directly down at Bret. To Bret, it almost sounded like a direct threat, like Brandon with beat him with one of his gigantic hands if Bret said "no." Eyes peered on the two boys as they talked. They were waiting for action, excitement. Never had they seen a pokemon match to decide who won. Everyone was getting ready for a huge show.

Bret grinned and backed up so he didn't have to look straight up at the tall teen. He gave him the usual, childish, "Bret" look. "All I can say is that they should just put my name on that trophy right now. Let's go!"

Bret ran over to put some distance between him and the teen and whipped up his own pokemon and held it up. "Alright, let's go! Torchic, go!"

Bret threw the pokeball high in the air and let it crack down on the ground. His little orange chick appeared and looked forward. Around him, people cheered at the sight of the little chicken.

"This is too easy. Yanma, get me that gold!" Brandon threw his pokeball also and a bug-looking pokemon appeared. People also appluaded, maybe even a bit louder than Bret's pokemon. After all, more people knew Brandon because of his past wins.

"Yanma, quick attack!" Brandon shouted.

"Torchic, use-"

But it was too late. As soon as Bret opened his mouth to issue an attack, the Yanma had also made its. Zipping over the sand, it slammed straight into Torchic too quickly. Torchic landed flat in the sand and stood up with a faceful of it. Everyone watching began to laugh at the little pokemon as it vigoursly tried to shake it off. Bret watched and stood frozen for a second before shaking it off. He pointed his finger high in the air.

"Torchic, c'mon! Let's use scratch!" Bret shouted. Torchic nodded and tried to rush straight for the bug pokemon, but Bret saw what happened even from a distance. As Torchic ran, his feet slowly sank in the sand, until they were deep enough that Torchic managed to fall flat on his face again. Everyone, including Brandon, laughed hysterically.

"Dude, you need to quit before you embarrass yourself anymore," Brandon laughed.

Bret's face grew red, some from embarrassment, but mostly from anger. He had acted like a little goofball the whole battle, but now Brandon had to see the other side of Bret, the intense battling one. Brandon was going to pay for laughing at him.

"Yanma, let's just end this and put that chicken out of its misery," Brandon said in almost a bored voice. "Use tackle attack, and I mean hard!"

The yanma rushed forward and made the attempt to deliver the final blow. Bret watched and pointed as the yanma slowly drew closer and closer to his own pokemon in the sand, more like half in the sand.

"Torchic, slow down Yanma with a growl!" Bret shouted. Torchic opened up his cute little beak and let out a cute noise that traveled over and hit the attacking bug pokemon in the air. The noise was puny, but it slowed down the yanma by quite a bit in speed, making the attack weaker.

Bret smiled out of satisfaction. "Now use scratch! Just leap in the air!" he shouted. Torchic nodded quickly and pushed down on his two feet. Springing them in the air, the little chicken began to fly, soar through the air like the yanma itself. He came into contact with the pokemon, and began to scratch it to death in the middle of the air. The yanma cried out and waved around in attempt to shake Torchic off. It got so desperate that the flying pokemon had to crash itself in the sand and roll off Torchic before managing to get back in the air.

Brandon gave Bret a deathly look. "This ends now," he mumbled. "Go Yanma!" he shouted.

Bret suddenly thought of something. This pokemon was useless if it was in the sand. The whole battle, it had been using its ability to fly as its advantage. So what if Bret took down that ability?

"Torchic, when Yanma comes near you, I want you to kick as much sand at it using your feet, okay?" Bret ordered. Torchic nodded and stood firm on his feet, waiting for the yanma to attack.

"Yanma, end this with quick attack!" Brandon shouted.

"Now!!" Bret shouted.

Torchic leaped in the air slightly and landed in the sand at an angle with all his might. Sand flew in the air and hit the speeding bug pokemon. It cried out and collapsed on the ground. With the speed that it was going, combined with the sand hitting it out of nowhere, the sand was an attack itself almost.

"Torchic, scratch!" Bret shouted. Torchic leaped in the air and landed right onto of the down pokemon. He began to scratch it with all his might and power until the pokemopn finally creid out and collapsed on the ground KO'd. The battle was over and Bret had won.

"Torchic we did it!" Bret shouted. He attempted to run over, but his legs were still a bit wobbly from the run. He let Torchic come to him instead. The little fire pokemon leaped into his arms and they both celebrated just where they were. People appluaded for him all around. "Hey, it's not bad for our first real battle together," Bret mumbled to Torchic.

They were brought over to where the trophys were to be presented. They gave Bret, of course, the gold one, a huge trophy with information about the festival and the word CHAMPION underneath. Bret grinned as he looked at the trophy.

Brandon walked over with the silver trophy in his hand. "Congratulations," he mumbled under his breath. Without another word, he walked away and left Bret alone.

With a little bit of celebration, Bret walked back to town and delivered the trophys, both the Champion one and the Eating Contest one. His parents were going to be thrilled to see his accomplishments. With that, he began his journey on the new route.

(OK, first off, sorry for the over-the-post-limit. I actually didn't know if it meant 2 posts MINIMUM or two posts TOTAL, so... I'm new to the whole post-limit thing, so once again, sorry... ^^')

-Timeless Forest-

After waiting for that idiot boy-dog-thing to get out of her sight, Gale headed straight into the forest. It was surprisingly calm at first, but nonetheless, Gale knew there were many Pokemon just waiting to surprise her. She noticed a couple of Taillows fly past, but didn't feel like pursuing them. Furi would become a Flying type when he evolved, after all. And so she didn't feel like getting another Flying type.

It was then that she noticed a purple Scorpion-like Pokemon. She took out her Pokedex and looked at its info.

"Skorupi, the Scorpian Pokemon. It lives in arid lands. It buries itself in sand and lies in wait for unsuspecting prey," Gale read aloud. She then noticed a small note beneath it. "When it evolves, it becomes a Poison/Dark type." Seeing how she definitely didn't have any Poison or Dark types on her team yet, Gale thought it would be best to go after one of them. But by the time she turned back to the little scorpion, it had disappeared. But a different Pokemon took its spot. It was acorn-like, and looked kind of bland. Gale didn't bother looking it up; she didn't think it would be a great addition.

A few more acorn-like Pokemon appeared behind it. "Seedot!" they all exclaimed, and at once, they seemed to...grow. Bigger and bigger. Bigger and bigger. They then return to normal size, but Gale knew that that growing technique must've been a way to increase their power. Seeing how nothing else was around, she called out her three Pokemon, and looked at the Seedot with a glow in her eyes.

"Alright, Twi, use Tackle on the Seedot to your left! Chi, take the Seedot to your right with Tackle! And finally, hit the middle Seedot with Leech Life, Furi!" The three made their moves, and the Seedot all fell back. But they seemed to be...immobilized, as if they didn't feel the attacks at all. Annoyed, Gale opened her mouth to say something, but the Seedot then turn a reddish color, and beams of light shot at the three Pokemon, knocking them all back. Could this be...BIDE? Oh, shoot... Gale thought. She ran to her three Pokemon, and picked each one up gently. They seemed to regain their stances, and slowly looked over at the Seedot. Without warning, the three used the same attacks again, this time sending the Seedot off into the woods. Gale sighed.

"You three... You could've been knocked unconscious, but you attacked them anyways... You're all a strange bunch. Especially you, Twi." She turned to her Squirtle. "I'm surprised you went to attack them again. Were you perhaps influenced by Chi and Furi?" Ashamed, Twi nodded her head silently, and Gale then patted it. "It's OK, we're all influenced by others sometime..." she whispered. Twi looked at her with great excitement, and Gale continued along the winding tree path...

Pikataro: Good intro post! If your next couple of posts are going to be about finding that Skorupi, it had better be good... because Skorupi is rare. =)

Chapter 5 (part 1):

It was a darker forest then most Saphire had traveled through. This forest was rarely traveled through and most trainers went the long way, but Saphire was in a hurry and plus he had heard that there were many advantages for going through the forest. He was walking down a winding path, his hands thrusted into his pockets, Ingo sitting on his head, Shocker walking at his feet followed by his newly caught Buizel, Trident.

He had nicknamed his Buizel Trident because while walkign to get here Trident jumped into a river and swam around in it. The currents she made from up above looked like a trident and that was how she was properly named.

Then, bushs to the left of them started rustling. Saphire quickly turned around to find a Pichu hobble out. The Pichu looked exhausted, and it was followed out by an exhausted looking trainer who looked familiar to Saphire.

"Hey! You're the guy who's Pichu ran into the forest before our battle was over!" Saphire said.

The trainer looked up and smiled. "Hehe. And you're the guy who offered to help me find my Pichu." he said.

Saphire smiled and helped the exhausted trainer up from where he had collasped on the ground.

"So why are you so tired?" Saphire wondered aloud.

"Ah. Me and Pichu where in a really tough battle with some guy by the name of Nicholas who had a Larvitar, but we ended up beating them." he said.

Saphire smiled with delight. "Ya know. I've always been wanting to battle you again since our first encounter. How's 'bout now? We can have a 2 on 2 battle if you have three pokemon so you don't have to use Pichu." Saphire offered.

"Uh. I have 4 pokemon. I guess we could. By the way my name's is Josiah and yours is?" Josiah asked.

"Saphire. Saphire Blazer actually but preffered being called Saphire." Saphire said delighted.

"All right then Saphire. Let's go." Josiah said picking a pokeball from his belt.

Saphire nodded and motioned for Shocker to get oonto the battlefield. Shocker ran onto the battlefield with victory in his eyes.

"Go, Skorupi!" Josiah said.

In a blinding white light a scopion looking pokemon that was purple popped out. Saphire quickly took out his pokedex to scan it.

Skorupi, the scorpion pokemon. It grips prey with its tail claws and injects poison. It tenaciously hangs on until the poison takes.

"Ok then. Shocker use Tackle!" Saphire said.

"Skorupi use Pin Missile!" Josiah said quickly.

Shocker dashed at the scorpion while Skorupi shot needles at Shocker. The needles stabbed Shocker's front legs, but Shocker pushed on and tackled the scorpion to the ground. The scorpion grabbed Shocker with its tail and thrust Shocker to the ground. Shocker was stuck and laid there shocked.

"Tackle Shocker!" Saphire said.

"Use Poisen Sting." Josiah said calmly.

Shocker squirmed to get out of the scorpions grasp. The scorpion let go for a split second and then its tail turned a bright purple and then it stabbed Shocker. Shocker cried out in pain and laid on the cool ground stunned and poisened.

"Use Bite." Josiah said.

"Tackle!" Saphire said dedicated to winning this battle.

Skorupi charged at Shocker calmly ready to win this battle, but SHocker dodged at the last second and then tackled Skorupi to the forest floor. Then, out of the corner of his eye Saphire saw a river near them. He turned around and saw the river and smiled deviously.

"Shocker, push Skorupi into the river!" Saphire said.

"Skorupi use Pin Missile." Josiah said.

Skorupi skittered across the floor sending needles of pain at Shocker. Shocker stealthily dodged them all and kept on pushing Skorupi nearer and nearer to the river. Then finally they were near the edge and Shocker hit Skorupi into the river. Skorupi fell into the river and squirmed to get out of the water.

"Skorupi!" Josiah said.

"Shocker Tackle!" Saphire said.

Shocker ran over on top of a little overhang and jumped down on top of Skorupi. The river was deeper then Max and Shocker thought it was and the two poemon started sinking to the bottom, but were still fighting. Skorupi was desperately trying to trap Shocker with its stinger and Shocker was dodging the lunges. They swam to the top and got out of the water gasping for air.

"Tackle!" Saphire said before Josiah could react.

Shocker ran quickly towards Skorupi, afraid that if he was slower Skorupi would throw him into the water, and then tried to tackle it to the ground. Skorupi reacted quickly and then caught Shocker with its stinger and thrusted him into the river. Shocker flew in the air and landed with a loud splash in the river. Skorupi dashed over to the edge of the water and sent hundreds of needles into the water. A few seconds later Shocker appeared at the surface of the water with tons of needles in his body. He ran at Skorupi with the look in his eyes that Saphire hated. Shocker tackled Skorupi to the ground and furiously started slashing its body with his claws. Then, Shocker bit Skorupis tail and flung it into the water. The Skorupi sank and a few seconds later appeared on the river's surface KO.

"Shocker return." Saphire said.

"Skorupi return." said Josiah.

The two pokemon disappeared into their pokeballs and then Josiah took out another pokeball.

"Go, Tailow." he said.

"Go, Ingo." Saphire said.

Then a small blue bird appeared out of a blinding white light. Ingo slowly walked out to the battlefield ready to win this battle.

((End of my post. Will describe the rest of battle in next one!:)))

((Hehehe. I just wanted the post to be a little bit longer and more descriptive.:)))

The blue bird squaked at Saphire ready to battle. Saphire, unsure of what this pokemon was, scanned it.


Taillow, the tiny swallow pokemon. Taillow courageously stands its ground against foes, however strong they may be. This gutsy POKéMON will remain defiant even after a loss. On the other hand, it cries loudly if it becomes hungry.

"Ok. Taillow use Peck!" Josaih said unknowingly of what Ingo could do.

"Teleport!" Saphire said.

The bird flew up a few meters into the air and then dived down at Ingo. Ingo stood there and at the last moment vanished into thin air. Taillow couldn't pull up from the ground in time and collided into the ground. Then, Ingo appeared next to his trainer Saphire, who was smiling at Josiah.

"Fly into the air and use Focus Energy and then Peck." Josiah said.

"Wait and teleport." Max said.


The bird flew headlong into the air and had a ring of orange energy surrond it. Ingo disappeared and reappeared behind the bird. Then, he kicked its back sending it diving into the ground again. This time, though, Taillow grabbed Ingo's foot with its talon and then took Ingo along with it. It put Ingo in front of it and drove Ingo into the ground and then Taillow flew away into the air.

Ingo rose slowly to his feet and yawned loudly. Saphire slapped his forehead embarassed that his pokemon was still tired in the middle of a battle. In fact, Ingo actually laid down and dozed off. Taillow, seeing its chance, dived down at full force at Ingo. it hit Ingo dead on target and pushed Ingo a little into the earths crust. Ingo still laid there asleep.

"Ingo wake up!" Saphire pleaded.

Ingo still laid there asleep. Taillow dived in at Ingo once again and Ingo still didn't wake up.

"Use Focus Energy twice more, Taillow." Josiah said.

Taillow glowed orange two times again and then dived in at Ingo again. This time Ingo yelped in pain in his deep slumber, but still laid there sleeping. Taillow, furious and humiliated, flew higher into the air and then dived at Ingo. Ingo was severly injured and dust was kicked up this time. After the dust settled it appeared that Ingo had actually trapped Taillow's talons with his feet. It had been a trick!

Taillow had been hurt from the contact and struggled to get out but couldn't. Ingo grabbed the bird's right wing with his left hand and then threw it into a tree. It hit the tree with a coo of pain and fell to the ground. It struggled, but finally got up and was panting heavily. Ingo stod there staring hypnotically into the bird's eyes.

Then, Ingo and the bird both ran at each other head on. They collided with eachother and dust flew up again. This time, though, when the dust settled Ingo was nowhere in sight. Then, suddenly Ingo appeared behind the bird and he kicked its back. The bird flew into another tree and slid down the bark to the ground KO.

"Ingo! You did it buddy!" Saphire rejoiced.

Josiah returned his Tailow and approached Saphire.

"Congrats dude." he said.

"Thanks Josiah. It was an awesome battle. Ingo and Shocker really appreciate the battle. They've been really bored lately." Saphire said.

"Yeah. And they have ben bored huh? Listen, up ahead on this path there is a kid who thinks he is the best trainer around. I heard him while in the middle of my battle with the dude with the Larvitar and couldn't battle him. When I stumbled upon you and your pokemon I had been looking for that kid. I'd love for you to beat that punk." Josiah said.

"Ok. Oh, and Josiah...Are we friends?" Saphire wondered.

Josiah smiled. "Yeah, rivals too. A friendly rivalry." Josiah said.

"Really?" Saphire said with tears welling up in his eyes. "That means your my first friend....I've never had a friend before. Well Josiah, I guess I'll see ya around right?"

"Course ya will. Dude, even though I might be your first friend, don't cry 'bout it k? Cause, your my first friend too." Josiah said.

And with those words Josiah disappeared into the bushs followed by his Pichu. Saphire smiled finally finding a friend and appearently someone who hadn't had any friends up until this point too.

Now that she had an injured Buizel in her posession, Holly felt quite uncertain as to what she should do next, knowing only that it would be wise to transport the Pokemon as soon as possible to the Pokemon Center. Though at first thought it seemed that she should go forward, she silently scolded herself for not having realised the simpler solution before this time. Obviously, it would consume considerably less time and be an altogether better plan to return to the Pokemon Center in Sandgem Town. Holly glanced once at Pikachu, briefly, and saw the Pokemon catch her eye.

"I'm thinking that we should probably return to the Pokemon Center in Sandgem Town." Holly said in a rather hushed voice, knowing that the sooner that they reached the Pokemon Center, the better for the poor Buizel that was currently confined inside one of the red and white capsules on her belt.

"Pika!" Pikachu agreed almost instantaneously, nodding its head vigorously up and down before leading the way. It was not uncommon for Pikachu to take the lead, though there was a slight urgency in its stride that stood out in Holly's eyes. However, it was without hesistation that she followed her Pokemon, taking utmost care not to lose sight of her Pokemon, who was small and swift, and easily lost in the crowds of tourists and residents of the town.

Given their close distance to the town, it was a fairly short time before they reached Ocean Jewel Town, and had soon located the Pokemon Center, though they lacked familiarity with the town, there was no mistaking the bright red P that gave away the location of the Pokemon Center, probably for the convienience of the trainers, many just beginning their journey, like her, that often passed through this town.

"Oh my!" Nurse Joy exclaimed, her eyes and face full of concern and puzzlement upon catching sight of Holly's rushed and rather wild expression. Holly didn't expect any less, seeing as she had just burst into the Pokemon Center, making a rather spectacular entrance with the way her Pikachu had slipped and belly-slid several feet across the polished floor, not only drawing attention to itself, but to its somewhat embarrassed trainer as well.

"I've got a Buizel here I don't know what happened I just found it along Route 2 and it was injured so I decided to bring it here to be treated." Holly said in one breath, taking several gasps of air afterward. Pikachu, by now, was sitting by her feet, looking down at the floor, though Holly didn't blame her Pokemon in the slightest, as it was only a common accident.

"Where is it then?" Nurse Joy asked Holly, who reached for her belt, unhooking a Pokeball with some difficulty and handing it to Nurse Joy, who opened it. A few seconds passed in silence as they stared at nothing. The Pokeball had been empty. Holly could feel her face turning red, causing a burning sensation in her cheeks and down the back of her neck.

"Oh, I'm sorry, some of my Pokeballs are still empty." She tried to say as casually as possible after a rather humiliating incident, and handed Nurse Joy the one that she was sure contained the Buizel. As Nurse Joy opened it, the Pokeball emitted a bright red glow, which took the form of a Pokemon with a forked tail and a long body, before fading. Immediately, Nurse Joy gasped, taking in the extent of the Pokemon's injuries. Buizel looked up, its eyes weary and lifeless, and its tail gave a barely noticable twitch. Immediately, a Chansey, pushing a cot, came up to the front desk, and with the help of another Chansey that was already present, managed to place the Buizel gently on the cot, wheeling it away.

"I think that you'd best be on your way. The Buizel will need to recover for a while, so when its healed I think we'll send it to the Pokemon Center in the next town, where I expect you'll be by then." Nurse Joy said softly, "I'm sorry, but I have to go to the treatment room, I'm sure you know why." With that, she turned and strode through the metal doors, which slid open, and closed with a slight puff of air.

"I suppose there's really nothing more that we can do." Holly told Pikachu, who nodded, and led the way out of the Pokemon Center, moving unusually slowly, and taking care with each step that it made. Holly restrained herself from rolling her eyes, as she was certain that her Pokemon would have found it impolite, and followed Pikachu through the glass sliding doors out of the Pokemon Center. '

Once again, she was faced with the numerous tourists and residents of Ocean Jewel town as she made her way along the beach. Finally, she became somewhat irritated with the sand trickling into her shoes, and walked up the beach, and journeyingthrough the grassy knoll instead. Though her feet carried her without much effort, she and Pikachu remained silent, taking no notice of the excellent weather that was common around these areas, both buried in their own seperate thoughts.

Ooc:// Sorry bout not posting, I wasn't sure if this was still alive or not. But here's my post anyways. I wasn't sure how to end it, so I hope its satisfactory.

As if it were destined, Gale saw a long purple tail stick out from one of the trees. Walking nimbly over towards the tree, Gale peeked around the trunk, and lo! The Skorupi was in sight! The small creature took one look at Gale and scattered off, possibly frightened by Gale's size. Furi began scurrying after the scorpion-like creature, but Gale told him to halt.

"It's afraid of us," Gale told her impatient Nincada. "We need to gain its trust by not scaring it." She knew it was headed towards the heart of the forest. After all, she had bonded with nature long before she had started her journey, and somehow felt one with it. She began walking in the direction the Skorupi had gone, her three Pokemon innocently following her. Sighing, Gale turned around, took out her three PokeBalls, and recalled the three.

"I'm sorry," she muttered, staring at the three red-and-white balls, "but I'm afraid I'll have to keep you in here. After what happened with the Seedot... I don't want you three acting up again." Silently, she placed the balls in her pocket and returned to her Skorupi searching.

A half hour past. Maybe an hour. Gale's sense of time was never too great, and she wasn't big on watches or anything digital (although her Pokedex still came in handy). She could feel herself getting closer and closer to the heart of the forest. I'm almost there, Skorupi. I really don't want to scare you... she thought. But her thoughts were disrupted from a loud cry, right ahead of her. Afraid someone might be in pain, Gale rushed to the site of the cry. As she got closer and closer, she could hear "Taillow!" "Taillow!" in the distance. Finally, she looked up as she ran, and at least two Taillow for flying above. And, to her surprise, one was carrying her Skorupi! The little creature looked traumatized, and the Taillow immediately flew off together. Knowing it was best to pursue the two, Gale ran in the direction they were going, hoping she'd catch up.

The pursuit led a very much exhausted Gale to a nest high up in a tree. She decided to call out Twi; she could help after all.

"Twi, use Tackle on the tree!" Gale shouted. Nodding, the small turtle-like Pokemon rammed into the tree with all her might. Gale could see the nest shaking. "Again!" she commanded, and Twi went into for another attack. This time, the nest flipped over and was at the edge of falling. Two very confused Taillows - the one still holding the Skorupi captive - looked down and saw Gale. Enraged, they flew down after her, Skorupi still being held captive.

"Now, Twi, Bubble!" Gale shouted. The Squirtle began shooting bubbles rapidly at the two Taillow. The two tried to swerve out of the way, but the bubbles eventually hit each of their wings, causing them to divebomb straight into the ground. As they were falling, the Skorupi regained its freedom and scurried off. Gale began to chase after it when the Taillow regained their form and flew straight at her.

"Twi!!!" Gale shouted, and the Squirtle, with a sudden burst of speed, went into her shell and starting spinning rapidly. It didn't seem to be as strong as a Rapid Spin, but rather a combined mix of Withdraw and Tackle. Hitting the two Taillow directly in their weak spot, they fell to the ground, unconscious.

"I'd catch them, but... That Skorupi is more important..." Gale thought out loud, as she went back to chasing after the little critter.

(I hope this is satisfactory. I know you said Taillow were also rare, but they were the only Flying Pokemon in the forest... DX)
