Pokemon Adventures; Rainbow Dreams

[๒inaryקlastic]

Scott ran out of the door and into the blistering sunlight. "Buizel, Sonicboom!" Shouted Ashley, making Buizel emit another sharp bang and wave of strong wind. The man ducked just in time and after the disturbance of dust from where the sonic boom had impacted on the ground, the man had dissapeared. Scott cursed and stamped his foot on the ground. Ashley walked up to him and put her hand on his shoulder. he looked at her and smiled. "I s'pose we'll never know what he was doing!" Mumbled Scott angrily.

That night, Scott lied in bed in the Pokemon Centre. He couldn't get to sleep and kept thinking that he was the man who took Amelia, but why? it just didn't add up. The man must of been attacking something as he made his houndoor use a flamethrower attack, and there was no screams or shouts when Amelia dissapeared. why had they taken her?

Scott woke up bright and early. He seemed to be more cheery today as he accepted the fact that he knew she was still safe, at least, he thought it. He walked over to the Gym, hoping to battle. He stood in his half and stood, waiting for the Gym Leader. Suddenly, shots of water arose from the ground and the field slid away, revealing a big pond with large rocks rising from it. A Woman appeared out of no where on the other side. she looked familiar, it was Ashley. "Good to see you again, Scott!" She said with a smug grin upon her face. "Let the battle begin!!" Shouted the Referee. "Show them who's boss, Buizel!" Shouted Ashley as she a flung a pokeball in the air and Buizel emerged in a flurry of lights. "Let's do this, Lotad!" shouted Scott as he also summoned Lotad to the field.

"Now, Buizel, let's start this with quick attack!" Commanded Ashley. Buizel began to charge at Lotad with incredible speed, using its tail to propel itself in the water. "Lotad, jump under the water!" Shouted Scott. Lotad flung itself into the water, barely dodging Buizel by a few inches. "Go under water aswell, Buizel!" Shouted Ashley. Buizel seemed to turn in mid air and dive into the water. Suddenly, Lotad pounced from the water wit5h Buizel who looked dangerously unconsious. Lotad landed firmly on a rock and Buizel managed to land carefully on a rock to, just back flipping in time. "Lotad, nature power!" Shouted Scott. Lotad scrunched itself up tight and then released tention, letting out a long, thin beam of yellow light. It smacked into Buizel, causing to fly backwards of the rock and into the water. "Wow! What was that?!" Quiried Scott. He pulled out it Pokedex and pointed it at Lotad, selecting the "Describe recently used move." option.

Lotad has just used Nature Power. The attack and effect varie on location. Being in a building that is using alot of electricity, the move transformed into Charge Beam.

"That's great. Electric moves are super-effective against water types!" Exclaimed Scott. buizel flung out of the water, releasing a Sonicboom from its tail. "Lotad, use Nature Power once more!" Commanded Scott. Lotad released yet another Beam of energy but Buizel swiftly dodged it. "Buizel, Swift!" Shouted Ashley. Buizel unleashed many glistening stars that flew elegantly towards Lotad. "Lotad, Nature Power once kore!" Shouted Scott. Lotad unleashd another beam of electricity, which collided with the swift, causing it to explode in buizels face. Buizle flew backwards into a rock, then sliding into the water. "Buizel is unable to battle!" Shouted the Referee, holding up a flag towrds Scott.

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

"All right, Koffing, use Smog!" Simon called as he launched his Pokeball. Koffing fired itself from its pokeball in an jet of thick, dark green smoke. Nick began to cough, but Simon knew what he was doing. He threw his next Pokeball.
"Now Pidgey, use tackle to break a few of the windows in that aquarium!" Pidgey dive-bombed the building, and suddenly the air was filled with the sound of breaking glass and swearing members of Team Empress as the small bird rocketed out through one final window.
"Now, Pidgey, use gust!" simon shouted, and the mall bird pumped its wings hard, generating a wind that circled the aquarium, blowing all of the Smog in through the broken windows. The bolt was heard to be drawn back, and Simon, Koffing, Pidgey and Nick only just managed to get out of the way as hordes of Team Empress members barrelled out of the aquarium, desperate to get out of the terrible-smelling fog. Confused and disoriented, the criminals ran to their jeeps, and fled the town. Nick stood gaping as the cars faded into the distance.
"Errr...what just happened?" he questioned, but Simon was already gone, into the aquarium, in search if any remaining members of Team Empress. There were no criminals left, but there were various pieces of sinister looking equipment and, in the last room, where the Gyarados were kept, was a young blonde woman lying on the ground. Simon could tell from her lack of a purple outfit that she was a civilian, and must have been in the aquarium when Team Empress tookk it over. Simon immediately ran over to her.
"Are you all right?" he asked in a mixture of fear and hope. She stirred, coughed, then opened her eyes and looked at Simon.
"I think so..." she said shakily as she sat up "But where's Team Empress? Me and my Pokemon were trying to protect the Gyarados from them, but then this bird flew through the windows, smashing everything. A second later, the room was filled with smoke." Then she noticed Pidgey and Koffing, behind Simon, and smiled.
"I'm guessing that was you," she continued, "And if so, I'm in your debt. Those thugs would have overpowered me if we had been fighting just a minute longer. Is there anyway I could repay you? I'm the Gym Leader here, so I have some authority and might be able to get you some kind of reward if-"
But SImon cut here off:
"If you're the Gym Leader, then there's only one thing I want from you, and that's a battle!" The woman smiled, and introduced herself as Ashley. Then she turned her head, as Nick walked into the room.
"Nick!" Simon shouted, "Over here! This is Ashley, the Gym Leader. She was in here when Tema Empress attacked.Hey, we're going to have a Gym battle soon - but what about you? Have you battled any Gym leaders yet?" Nick smiled and shook his head
"I don't want to battle Gym leaders. My dream isn't to raise the best fighters, or the best performers. I want to try and find, and catch, rare Pokemon. Maybe even legendaries." Simon smiled, feeling a little jealous that he didn't have any rare Pokemon. Nick continued.
"Speaking of legendaries, Mystifying Forest is meant to be home to Celabi, you know? Its a bit far off, but I'm probablygoing to head back there next." Simon smiled again, sad that they would be parting ways yet again, but also excited about his upcoming second Gym Battle.

[Pikalover10]

Ok so I want to join and to use the last Wild Card:

Charecter Name: Max
Age: 10
Gender: Male
Birthdate: 9/23/98
Appearence: Max wears a yellow shirt, black shorts, a yellow and black hat, black shoes, black fingerless gloves, a necklace, he has black spiky/messy hair, and crystal blue eyes. Max has a scar that runs up his right arm and another one that runs down his back. Max is short for his age standing at four foot 3 nd weighing in at 80lbs.

Personality:Max is very outgoing. He will do anything and everything for his pokemon. He doesn't care what others think of him and often ignores people that are rude to begin with. His hobbies are: swiming, climbing trees, taikwondo which he currently has a black belt in, training, and some scethcing of pokemon. He can scetch pretty good, can swim really fast, stinks at climbing trees, is really good at taikwondo, and loves to do training.

History: (Sorry but this takes place in the Kanto Region if I have to I'll edit this part:))

Max grew up in Pallet Town. His mom died giving birth to his little brother, but Max never held it against him, unlike their older brother,Kevin. Kevin always blamed Josh for the death of their mom and never let Josh foreget it. Max protected his little brother because he already lost a little brother from a disease. His dad abandoned them forcing the three of them to live on the streets.

One day when Max was at Proffessor Oak's lab picking a date for him to get his pokemon Kevin left Josh on his own. Josh was kidnapped by Team Empress goons and they left a letter to Max saying: If ya want your little brother back then battle our leader and if ya win Josh can come home to you if he wants or...he can stay with us. If our boss wins, though, he stay under Team Rocket! Max figured there was basically no hope of ever getting Josh back because when this happened Max was 6, but Josh was only 2.

Preffered Starter: last wild card for Riolu please:)

(OOC: I'd like my Lotad to learn Mist and forget Growl, please ^^)

"Let's see how you face up against my next Pokemon, Scott! Tododile, show 'em who's boss!" Shouted Ashley as she flung another Pokeball in the air and summoned a small, reptilian-looking Pokemon. "That's a Pokemon I haven't seen before!" Mumbled Scott. He pulled out his Pokedex once more and directed it at Tododile.

Tododile, The Big Jaw Pokemon. It loves to bite things with its well developed jaws. You don't want to tickle this Pokemon, as it may attempt to bite you!

"Wow. that's a cool Pokemon. Lotad, stay on the field!" Said Scott with detremination. "Tododile, start off with bite!" Shouted Ashley. Tododile jumped itno the water and began to swim towards Lotad at an incredible speed. lotad stayed were it was as Tododile continued to swim, only, now, its jaws were wide open, ready to snap shut. "Lotad, duck under water!" Shouted Scott. Lotad dropped into the water just in time to dodge Tododile. Tododile stopped in his tracks and looked around, searching for the hidden Lotad. "Now, Lotad, Asntonish!" Shouted Scott. Lotad jumped from the water, knocking Tododile from the pool to and making it land on a rock. "Now, Nature Power!" Shouted Scott. Lotad unleashed a beam of yellow light that sprang towards Tododile. "Quick, dodge!" Shouted Ashley. Tododile jumped from the rock and into the water.

Lotad couldn't see were Tododile was. The water was still and Tododdile couldn't be heard. Lotad was at its alertest. "Tododile, Ice Fang!" Shouted Ashley. Tododile pounced from the water, it jaws wide open and icy. Suddenly, Lotad let out a gust of kist that hit Tododile directly in the face. The mist spread across the field, making it harder to see. It hung over the water like a blanket that was soon untidy by Tododiles arival in the water. "Now, Lotad, Nature Power!" Shouted Scott. Lotad released a beam of electricity that hit the water, casuing it to bubble and glow. Moments later, Tododile jumped from the water, screaming and waving around its limbs. "Lotad, finish it off with Absorb!" Shouted Scott. Lotad realeased a few green orbs from Tododile, who fainted on a rock, slowly.

"That was excellent, Tododile! You deserve a rest!" Exclaimed Ashley as she brought Tododile back into his ball. "You do to, Lotad. You were truely amazing!" said Scott gleefully as he also returned his Pokemon...

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

"This Gym Battle will be between the Gym Leader Ashley and the challenger Simon," the referee shouted as the two trainers stepped onto the battlefield. "The Gym Leader will release her Pokémon first." Ashley smiled and threw her first Pokeball, releasing a Totodile. It stood defiantly facing Simon, speaking volumes with its intimidating gaze. 'I'm not just going to beat you, I'm going to humiliate you' was the general message. Simon gulped, and swallowed his worries.
"Come on, Koffing! Time to battle!" The second the words left his mouth, Simon realised his mistake. Koffing had never had a proper battle before, and now it was against this intimidating Pokemon with big sharp teeth. Koffing was less worried and let out a roar as it burst from the pokeball.
"Right, Totodile, start with Ice Fang!" Ashley shouted confidently. Totodile's canines glowed blue and doubled in length, before it leapt forwards, resembling an amphibious Dracula.
"Koffing, respond with smoke screen!" Simon called, and Koffing immediately hid itself behind a thick screen of fog. Totodile stopped, completely unsure about what to do. Ashley was less uncertain.
"Water pulse!" She called. Totodile grinned, and then roared, forming a small deep blue ball in between its jaws. It unleashed the attack, and a wall of water erupted from the sphere, passing straight through the smoke.
"Koffing, Tackle attack!" Simon shouted, undeterred, and Koffing charged straight towards the wave, smashing through it safely, but sustaining heavy damage.
"Follow up with Poison Gas!" Koffing drew up close to Totodile, breathing purple gas in its face. The tiny 'gator coughed, and its face took on a decidedly purple hue. It had been poisoned. Ashley scowled, then called to Totodile,
"It isn't hidden behind the smog anymore, so let's use bite!" Totodile launched itself at Koffing, mouth open wide, but it teeth couldn't get any purchase on the round surface. But Totodile cam at it again and again, until it finally latched onto one of the bumps, bit down hard and rendered Simon's Koffing unconscious. Simon grimaced as he returned Koffing, but he had expected this. Totodile was poisoned though, so no need to call out Pikachu yet. Instead...
"Come on Pidgey, this Totodile's already weak! Let's get started with Tackle!" Totodile tried to bite again, but Pidgey was too fast, and simply smashed it out of the way.
"Stop that bird with Water Pulse!" Ashley called, and Totodile launched another wave.
"Just what I was waiting for!" Simon shouted, "Pidgey, use Gust!" The small pigeon launched a barrage of wind, hitting the wall of water, and driving it back towards Totodile. The small crocodile was thrown bodily against the wall and knocked out. Ashley just smiled, though.
"I knew after our first meeting that this would be a good battle, and now its going to get even better!" she called, "Lets go, Buizel, use swift!" Buizel burst from its ball, and spun around. Its tail glowed golden and small stars fired themselves at Pidgey.
"Climb and dodge it!" came the order, and Pidgey obeyed, but the stars simply swerved and redirected themselves, hitting Pidgey from below and knocking it out of the air. Simon returned the injured Pokémon to its ball.
"Right, let's go, Dustox!" Simon shouted.

His battle at the McKarp gym was nearing its dramatic finale!

(OOC: Well, I'll let Lotad evolve and, umm... I thought Lombre already knew Nature Power O.O. Oh, and, whoever said I wasn't going to battle Team Empress ;D)

Suddenly, Lotad began to glow. It grew taller and limbs began to from. It stood up onto its hind legs as the glowing began to fade. "No way!" Mummbled Scott in awe. He pulled out his Pokedex and pointed it at the Pokemon that replaced Lotad.

Lotad, The Jolly Pokemon. It is very mischievous and loves to startle people by wetting them. It likes to annoy people who are fishing.

"Cool. Lombre, get ready to fight!" Shouted Scott as he clenched his fist. "Gyrados, blow them away!" Shouted Ashley as she released a huge pokemon onto the field. It roared extremely loudly, startling Scott, but Lombre simply stared with deteremination on his face.

Gyrados, The Atrocious Pokemon. When it rages, it will burn down villages and mountains until nothing is left. It can fly for a year without having to rest!

"Lombre, this is gonna be our toughest battle yet, so try your hardest!" Shouted Scott. Lombre smiled happily and then faced his opponent. "Gyrados, start off with Thrash!" Shouted Ashley. Gyrados charged at Lombre with incredible speed, barely dodging the roof. "Lombre, hide under water!" Shouted Scott. Lombre jumped under the water, swimming very quickly to. "Gyrados, get under water and use bite!" Shouted Ashley. Gyrados swiftly turned under water with its jaws wide open. Moments later, Lombre came gushing out of the water, backflipping in the air, looking as if it had just been hit by Gyarados. Gyarados came out moments after, charging a water pulse in its mouth. "Lombre, Nature Power!" Lombre unleashed a beam of yellow electricity from its hands, but, unfortunatley, Gyarados easily dodges it, unleashing the Water Pulse. Lombre jumped off of the rock, just missing the Water pulse and landing on another Rock.

"Lombre, Nature Power once more!" Lombre unleashed another beam, only this one was extremly quick and hit Gyarados directly in the face. It collapsed and fell under the water. It was hard to tell if it had fainted, and nobody could see it. Suddenly, it flew out of the water, launching a Water Pulse at Lombre. It hit him and he flew back into the water, were Gyarados quickly followed. "Lombre, Nature power!" Bellowed Scott. The water glowed yellow and Gyrados came rushing from the water moments later. It collapsed on a rock, its eyes shut and still. "Gyarados is unable to battle! The winner is the challenger, Scott!" Exclaimed the Referee. Scott jumped up and down, along with Lombre.

Later, Scott was on Ashley side of the field, helping her heal her Pokemon. "That was an excellent battle, Scott. You and your Pokemon can go a long way, you know!" Said Ashely happily as she sprayed Gyarados' fins with Hyper Potion. "I know. It's all about trust!" Jeered Scott. suddenly, there was an extremly loud bang as the roof of the Gym collapsed.

"Here we are, untied as one!" Came a loud voice from a large craft that had decended into the Gym. "When we control all alive, our work is done! Team Empress is the best around! You are not, we are Crowned! Come to control you and take your Pokemon, it's Team Empress!" Finished the smug voice. Suddenly, a long stream of fire came plowing towards Ashley and Scott. They ducked just in time, with the fire prickling there neck. "Misdreavus, Psywave, let's go!" Shouted Scott as he unleashed Misdreavus who let out a wave of pink energy that hit the craft directly on its wing. A figure jumped from the craft and onto the ground, along with a small Houndoor. "I'll go and alert the authorities!" Shouted Ashely as she ran out fot he gym.

"Houndoor, use Flamethrower!" Shouted the uniformed man. Houndoor unleashed another string of flames which Misdreavus just dodged. "Misdreavus, spite!" Shouted Scott. Houndoor collapsed on the ground for a moment as Misdreavus eyes began to glow. Houndoor then got up and began to charge at Misdreavus. "Dodge, Misdreavus, then use Psywave once more!" Shouted Scott. Misdreavus unleashed another wave of energy which hit Houndoor directly in the face. The houndoor slowly collapsed on the ground.

"Miosdreavus, return!" Shouted Scott as Misdreavus entered its ball once more. "This isn't over yet, let's go, Murkrow!" Shouted the smug officer. A Murkrow flew onto the field and looked at its target. "Let's go, Skorupi!" Shouted Scott. I really hope this works! Thought Scott as he looked up at the Murkrow. "Murkrow, Wing Attack!" Shouted the Goon. Murkrow swung down at Skorupi at incredible speed. Scott knew that if murkrow hit, it would be all over. "Skorupi, dodge the use Poison Sting!" Shouted Scott. Skorupi dodged just in time and Murkorw easily swooped up, avoiding hitting the floor. Skorupi swivled on the spot and jumped on the attacking Murkorw. he pierced it with its Tail and began to swoop and fly strangely. "Murkrow, get that pathetic Pokemon off of you!" Shouted the Officer. murkrow spun around, causing Skorupi to fly off but land firmly on the ground.

Murkrow beagn to charge at Skorupi once more. "Skorupi, stand your ground!" Shouted Scott. Skorupi stared at the attacker, wondering what it had to do next. "Now, run backwards, but face the Murkrow!" Shouted Scott. Skorupis flexible legs simply trickled backwards until Skorupi hit the wall gently. The Murkrow was only a few meters away from Skorupi now, and going very fast. "Skorupi, dodge!" Shouted Scott. Skorupi jumped to the side, dodging the attacker who had just hit the wall very quickly. It collapsed on the floor in alot of pain.

"Murkrow, return!" Shouted the Officer. "I wouldn't worry. We brain washed your little friend. She's safe at home now, not knowing anything about you or what just happened. We'll be back!" Shouted the smug voice as it entered the craft and flew away. Scott chuckled as he returned Skorupi. Ashley came running in. "I was too late, wasn't I?" Said she slowly. "She's okay!" Said Scott with a wide grin on his face.

Later that day, he said his goodbyes to Ashley and walked out of the town and into the sunset, with Lombre lolopping at his side, and Misdreavus floating besides Skorupi. He wondered what tomorrow would bring him. A new Pokemon, a new Frined or a big loss... He just didn't know.

(OOC: I'm really not sure how you spell Stagalite... :S)

"This is what I call freaky!" Exclaimed Scott as he held the fire torch up to the slimy, decaying walls. "Sko..." Mummbled Skorupi as he scuttled beside him. The cave was deep and dark, lit only by Scotts fire lit torch which he recieved from a man at the enterance of the cave. The walls were oozeing a translusent slime which trikled down onto the cold, hard ground. It was like a maze inside. He spotted a few Murkrows when he entered the cave, but no Pokemon since.

minutes past, and Scott still had no idea where to go. He could of swore he past the same stagalite five times. He decided to take a right, because his Grandad taught him to always go left, and that wasn't working. A beam of sunlight shone through a hole in the roof of the cave. That beam hit close to where a statue was on the wall. It was the shape of the sun and it had a hole in the centre. He wondered if the sunlight had to shine through the hole to trigger something. He kept walking, but met a dead end, so he walked back up to where the statue was. He got there, and replacing it was nothing. The wall were the satue was wasn't there anymore and there was a clear path ahead of them. "i'm really starting to get freaked." Mummbled Scott.

They walked further on, walking around many twists and turns. They stopped and set up a small fire so Scott could cook something to eat. As him and Skorupi eat there Oran Berry stew, there was a loud bang. The roof of the cave collapsed as a Pokemon jumped on the floor. "Wow! What's that!" Shouted Scott.

Gible, The Land Shark Pokemon. It lives in horizontal holes in cave walls, jumping out on unsuspecting foes. it will bravely fight foes that are much bigger than itself.

Suddenly, the Gible began to run at Skorupi. It attempted to use Take Down, but Skorupi swiftly dodged it. "Pin Missile, let's go!" Shouted Scott. Skorupi unleashed thousands of pointy thorns from its tail which launched themselves at Gible. It dodged a few, but got hit several times. "Excellent Skorupi, now use Bite!" commanded Scott. Skorupi began to run at the Gible, its jaws wide open. It jumped to the side, but Skorupi swung around its tail and used Poison Sting, piercing the foe. Suddenly, it got up and caused a Sandstorm, which blinded Scott temporarily. He could just see skorupi, who was hardlies affected by the storm, but couldn't see the Gible.

Then, Scott had an idea. "Skorupi, aim Pin Missile at the ceiling!" Called Scott. Skorupi swung its tail up and fired at the ceiling, causing it to collapse ontop of the sand and, hopefully, the Foe. As the sand setteled, Scott noticed the Gible getting away, jumping on rock to rock. "Pin Missile!" Shouted Scott. Skorupi unleashed alot of thorns as it ran towards the escaping foe along side Scott. They climbed over the rubble and to a dead end, where they found the Gible, trapped.

"Pin Missile, again!" Skorupi fired more thorns. Gible jumped on some rocks that jetted out of the wall, but was hit by some of the thorns. The rock face began to crumble, revealing another passage way. "After him, Skorupi!" Shouted Scott. They chased after the foe, firing more and more pins. "At the ceiling, Skorupi!" Skorupi aimed at the ceiling, causing it to collapse again. "Finish this with Bite!" Bellowed Scott. Skorupi jumped on top of the stranded Gible, biting it on its arm, causing it to faint. "That was excellent work Skorupi! You deserve a well earned rest!" Exclaimed Scott as he returned Skorupi to its ball.

Toxic_Moonlight: Could you make the post a little longer, it has to be a little longer, it's not like catching Misdreavus, just make it a paragraph or two longer :]

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

OOC: I'm a little confused - doesn't Pidgey only know tackle, sand-attack and gust?

Dustox burst from its Pokeball, pumped up and ready to go.
"Swift again!" Ashley ordered, and once again, Buizel shot a multitude of small golden stars towards Dustox.
"Use confusion!" Simon called, and Dustox's eyes glowed a faint purple. So did the stars, which shuddered, then spun around and went straight back to Buizel, striking its face. The overgrown otter staggered backwards, but managed to remain standing.
"Come on, use Tackle, Dustox!"
"Buizel, Quick Attack!" Ashley responded, and the two Pokemon collided. Buizel had much more momentum, and did a lot more damage than Dustox, but both Pokemon looked ready to drop.
"Buizel, finish with Sonicboom!" Ashley shouted, and Simon replied by calling,
"Dustox, give it your strongest Tackle!" Buizel whipped its tail, sending a light towards Dustox. The large Moth simply charged straight at it. Dustox met the Sonicboom with a loud crash, then burst through and hit Buizel full. Both Pokemon were knocked out cold.
"Time for my last Pokemon!" Ashley said, still confident. A second later, Simon realised why as she threw her final Pokeball and shouted, "Time for battle, Gyarados!" Simon gulped as the huge water dragon appeared it front of him, its teeth glinting menacingly. Luckily, this time he would have a double advantage.
"Pikachu, lets take him down!" Simon shouted. Pikachu trembled, but remembered its advantage, and resolved to not just fight this Gyarados, but to beat it.
"Let's start with double team!" Simon ordered, and Pikachu leapt around the battle field, leaving behind identical, yet intangible copies of itself. Ashley gritted her teeth, then called,
"Use water Pulse, Gyarados!" The giant serpent unleashed a wave of water which swept throughout the gym, hitting all the copies. One by one they fizzled out, until there was only one Pikachu left. Ashley smiled, confident.
"Gyarados, Bite!" But far from feeling nervous, Simon felt positively gleeful. Ever since seeing those fangs, he had been sure that bite or crunch would be on the menu, and he had started to formulate a plan accordingly.
"Use quick attack!" Pikachu was unsure, but it trusted its master implicitly. It launched into a dive at such high speed, it was almost impossible to see. But Gyarados had its mouth wide open, and Pikachu shot straight between its jaws, landing on Gyarados's massive tongue! Simon grinned confidently.
"Pikachu, THUNDERSHOCK!" He roared. Gyarados tried to spit out the small mouse, but it was too late. Pikachu released every last volt that remained in its tiny body, filling the monster's mouth with lightning. Gyarados screamed - a long, angry, defeated scream - then collapsed on the floor, smoke leaking from its mouth. Pikachu leapt from its jaws moments before impact, landing nimbly in front of Simon.
"Pika pika!" it exclaimed happily, and Simon ran forwards, hugging Pikachu tight.
"That was brilliant!" he said "We won, Pikachu, we won!" Ashley smiled sadly, stepping forwards.
"I knew that this was going to be a hard battle, and it was. It was the hardest battle I've ever fought. Here, take this, the Volley badge, proof of your victory here. And I'd also like you to have this - the TM for water pulse, my favourite move. It's just my way of saying thanks for rescuing me before." Simon grinned and graciously accepted the gift. He slowly wandered back to the Pokemon Centre - aware that he would need a good night's rest if he was to continue his Pokemon journey tomorrow!

Hours past since the battle, and there was still not a way out. They had been walking for at least 3 hours, and encountered one Pokemon, a pesky Gible. The cave was very dark now. The flame torch was dieing and Scott had ran out of food. The thought of being stranded here came across his mind many times. Occasionaly, he thought he saw shadows moving across the cave walls and the sounds of fottsteps and whispers. Skorupi and he were on guard.

They found a flat piece of rock were Scott put up a tent. He had to nail down the hooks with a hammer as the rock was very hard. As he was eating some Oran Berries, of which he had little, he could here the sound of flowing water. I must be near a underground waterfall, thought Scott as he finsihed off his Berries. He walked down a path until he came to a large opening. The cave ceiling was very high here. A large pond spread infront of him which was fueled by a gushing waterfall. Zubat could be seen clinging to the roof which held the refelction of the water. To his side was a bush growing red beries, Cheri Beries. He picked some, placing them back into his bag for his supper.

As he left, he noticed a hole at the other side of the pond. Shining through it was sunlight. "That must be the way out." He mummbled. Suddenly, there was an extremly loud roar. it filled the hole cave, making the Zubat fly out and Bonsly to pop out of its ball. "Bon? Bon... Slyyyyyy!" It wailed as it dolloped on the ground. "Shh!" Hurried Scott as he put out his hands. Out of no where came a large, snake like Pokemon. It roared again, blowing its foul breath into Scotts face. Without warning, the Pokemon let out another roar, making rocks fly off the ceiling and towards Scott and Bonsly. "Get down!" He shouted a she ducked onto the floor, feeling the rocks rush past his ears. "Bonsly, Copycat!" Shouted Scott. Bonsly scfeamed and also caused rocks to fly towards the foe, making the snake like creature collapse into the water.

Onix, The Rock Snake pokemon. When it travels underground, it causes tremors. It always eats when burrowing at speeds of 50mph!

"This ones mine!" Exclaimed Scott as the Onix flung itself out of the water. It began to charge towards bonsly. "Bonsly, dodge then use flail!" Shouted Scott. bonsly moved to the side, dodging the Snakes charge, then began to jump on top of it and wave its feet around. The Onix flicked up its head, causing Bonsly to fall on the floor. 2Low Kick, let's go!" Shouted Scott. Bonsly ran up to the target and flung its leg underneath its long, thin body, causing it to collapse on the floor. "Copycat once more!" Bellowed Scott. Bonsly screamed one more, making rocks fall onto Onix, making it wail in pain. "Now, finsih off with Low kick!" Commanded Scott. Once more, Bonsly ran up to the foe, making it collapse as it attempted to get up. Scott thought it would of fainted bvy now, but it was still standing.

"Bonsly, return!" Shouted Scott as he took bonsly off of the field. "Lombre, show 'em who's boss!" Shouted Scott as he summoned Lombre onto the field. "Start off with Absorb!" Shouted Scott. Lombre put its hand against the collapsed Onix, withdrawing many green orbs. It flung itself from underneathe the rocks and hit Lombre with its tail, causing it to fly backwards and hit a wall. "Lombre, Nature Power!" Shouted Scott. Suddenly, a ginormous wave arose behind Oniz. It fell onto it, makiing it wail and screech in pain. Then, it collapsed onto the floor once more. "Pokeball, go!" Exclaimed Scott as he launched a Pokeball at the target...

Troy, realizing he was caught, tried to think of an excuse. "Well you see, um, my Pokémon got loose in here so I had to come in get it." Troy quickly thought and told the man.

"Well good. You got him! Now get out. You don't want to mess with Team Empress." The man said.

"So who is Team Empress? Are they some kind of water polo team? Is that why you took the Pokémon out of the water so you could play?" Troy asked.

"Are you deaf kid? I SAID BEAT IT" the man said. Just then, his walkie talkie went off. "Sector C of the Aquarium has had all of the Pokémon successfully stolen. Proceed to sector D."

Troy was shocked to hear those words. "You're stealing them? You must be one of those criminal organizations! I'm going to tell the police!" Troy said to the man.

"Ya right. I'll stop you right now." The man threw his pokeball and a murkrow emerged. "Use Hypnosis on the kid." The man's murkrow's eyes glowed yellow as it stared at Troy.

Troy reacted quickly and shielded his eyes. He picked up Taillow's pokeball and threw it in the air. "Taillow use quick attack on that murkrow!" Taillow, in a quick burst of speed, rammed into the man's murkrow which caused it to lose focus and it stopped using hypnosis. "Well I came to see the wonders of the Aquarium, but I guess you will make a good warm up for the gym" Troy said.

"Why you little..Use peck murkrow!" The man said. Murkrow flew up to taillow and started to launch attacks with its beak. Taillow responded with a peck attack that matched the murkrow's attacks beak for beak. Both of the pokemon flew away leaving the battle in a draw.

"Use quick attack again Taillow." Troy commanded. Taillow moved around at a high speed which confused the opponent's murkrow. When Taillow got behind murkrow, it charged forward and landed an attack. The murkrow hit the ground hard and laid there fainted. "Wow that's its? Your a pretty weak trainer." Troy laughed.

"What I lost to a kid! I hope the boss doesn't hear about this." The man said. He returned his murkrow to the pokeball. "I better call for backup."

Troy, realizing what the man was doing, returned Taillow and started to run for the door. As he opened the door, Troy looked at who was outside it. It was a woman with green hair wearing a heavily decorated purple uniform along with two other men wearing a purple uniform.

"So you're the one causing this entire racket?" The women said. "Alright boys grab him." The two men went over to Troy and overpowered him to the ground. They tied his hands together behind his back and threw him against the wall. "Take that kid to the truck. We can't have any witnesses. We're almost done here so get moving." The women commanded the two men.

"Yes Commander!" The two men said as they lifted up Troy and started to head out the door. Suddenly, two streams of water jetted out and hit the two men holding Troy, sending them flying backwards. A tentacle stretched out and grabbed Troy and lifted him outside. Troy looked up to see a Tentacruel holding him with a red headed girl in a blue dress standing next to it.

"I knew there was something suspicious going on here." The red headed girl said. "I saw trucks loading Pokemon on them. Pokemon that I captured and put in this Aquarium. You were stealing them you scum." She shouted.

"That's right. We need them to fulfill our ambitions. But if you are getting in our way, we will just have to deal with you." The team empress commander snickered. She reached for her pokeball when she started to hear the sirens. She got an angry look in her face and commanded a retreat. The red headed girl tried to stop her but the team empress women threw a smoke bomb on the ground to cover their tracks. The police arrived and stormed in the building. Tentacruel let Troy on the ground and cut the ropes tying up his hands. The red haired girl walked over and offered to help him up. "Hi I'm Ashley. Nice to meet you. Are you OK?" she said with her hand outstretched and a smile on her face.

(OOC: Sorry if it got a little confusing with the names at the end. I didn't know if we could name commanders of Team Empress.)

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Simon shivered, partly from the cold and partly from fear. After all, this cave was pitch-black, filled with blood-sucking Zubat and giant Onix, and there was a big, creepy statue of Dialga at the entrance. The only light he had was a small flashlight, and the batteries were running low. The light flickered suddenly, and Simon gasped. But after a few heart-stopping seconds, the beam strengthened again. Simon sighed in relief. The sooner he was out of this cave, the better. He didn't feel comfortable with small, dark spaces - who was? But before he could even begin to feel relieved, he heard an odd squeak from up ahead. It was a ghastly sound, a mixture of terror, pain and anger. He froze in fear, but then the squeak came again, and Simon realised that it was a Pokemon in pain. Regardless of whether it was a Chansey of a Gengar, he couldn't ignore a hurt Pokemon. He swept the beam of light across the floor, hoping he had been mistaken. There! Lying on the floor was a crumpled, leathery shape. It turned its head, revealing an eyeless face and four pointed fangs - a Zubat. Simon sighed in relief for the second time in as many minutes. His Pokedex had claimed that no ghost Pokemon lived here, but he wasn't all that trusting of technology. Gently, he picked up the weakly flapping Pokemon. Instantly he saw what was wrong - it had a huge cut straight through its wing, and blood, faintly green, was oozing steadily from it. Resisting an urge to vomit, he pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wrapped it around the wing. Zubat thrashed a little as he pulled the makeshift bandage tight, but it wasn't strong enough to do anything.
"Calm down!" he whispered frantically, "I'm trying to help you, and if you keep writhing about, you're going to hurt yourself even more!" Zubat seemed to understand, and calmed down with a gentle squeak, to indicate it was grateful for the help. Simon looked up. He still had a way to go before the next Pokemon Centre, and he could only do so much. If he took too long...Simon pushed that thought firmly from his mind, and started forwards once again, marching with renewed vigour. He was desperate not to meet whatever had done this to the poor creature, but two seconds later, he realised he wasn't going to have a choice. A horrible, snickering roar came from behind him, and Simon froze in fear yet again. Terrified, he turned around, and standing in the middle of the tunnel was a small, dinosaur-like Pokemon, with a blue, glowing head. Its curved claws had some strange, reddish-green liquid dripping from the tips. Simon gulped, taking a step back. Then, two things happened very quickly. The Cranidos, for that is what it was, leapt forwards, landing in front of Simon. Zubat, at the same time, threw itself forwards and screamed sharply in Cranidos's face. As it did so, blue radar lines emanated from its mouth. They engulfed Cranidos, which stopped, confused. Simon grabbed Zubat seconds before it hit the floor, then ran. Cranidos was simply gazing at its claws. "Craaaan?" it croaked. Simon guessed that if it could speak human, it would probably be saying "woaaaah…dude…my hands are huge!" He took the time to smile, then continued on through the mysterious cave.

"Yo! I'm Troy. Thanks for getting me out of there." Troy replied to Ashley as he took her hand and got up. Troy stretched out and brushed himself off.

"It was nothing. I know when that Team Empress rented the Aquarium that they looked suspicious. It is my duty as the McKarp Town gym leader to protect this town from people like them." Ashley said.

Troy just heard the words "gym leader" and didn't care about anything else. "Hey you're the gym leader? Good because I came here to have a battle." Troy said.

Ashley looked surprised and said "Wait right this minute? Don't you want some time to recover first from the attack?" The police then came out of the Aquarium and told Ashley that all of the trucks were secured and all the Pokemon were safe. Ashley let out a sigh of relief.

"See? All the pokemon are safe. I am fine. You should battle too to get your mind off this crisis." Troy told Ashley.

"I guess you're right. Battling will clear my mind and it will be fun. Fine I accept your challenge. Just follow me." Ashley replied. Ashley walked into the Aquarium with Troy following behind. Troy was wondering where she was taking him because they were walking through the Aquarium which seemed like no place for a battle. Ashley finally stopped and pointed over to a pool. "The gym was a far walk away so we will battle here." She said. Ashley pushed a button on the wall and four platforms emerged from inside the pool. "Alright take your side." Ashley told Troy. Both trainers walked to their sides and prepared for battle.

"Let's start. Go Buizel!" Ashley threw her pokeball and a pokemon emerged. It looked like a fox with a life vest on it. The Buizel landed in the water with its head poking out.

"I'll start off with Glameow." Troy said as he threw her pokeball. "Glameow use shock wave!" Troy ordered. Glameow charged up electricity in its tail and launched it towards Buizel. Buizel's tail suddenly started to spin rapidly like a propeller as it jetted towards Glameow while easily dodging the shock wave attack.

"Buizel use your sonicboom." Ashley commanded. Buizel leaped out of the water and spun around unleashing a sound wave from its tail that hit Glameow. Glameow was quick to shake off the attack. Ashley didn't let up after that as she commanded her Buizel to use water pulse. Buizel started to form a water ball in its hands and launched it towards Glameow. However, Glameow was able to jump and dodge it. "Now quick attack!" Ashley said

As Buizel charged towards Glameow, Troy had to act fast. "Use fake out!" Troy ordered. Glameow quickly spun around and hit Buizel on the head with its tail causing it to stop and flinch. "Now put it to sleep with Hypnosis." Glameow's eyes began to glow yellow as it stared at the still flinching Buizel. Buizel's eyelids grew heavy as it tried to keep them open but it was no use as it quickly fell asleep. "Now let's try shock wave once more. Full power!" Troy said. Glameow charged electricity in its tail and launched it towards the helpless Buizel. The electricity engulfed Buizel's body as you could hear it grunting in pain in its sleep. When the attack ended, Buizel was laying on the ground fainted.

"Wow nice combo." Ashley complimented Troy. She returned Buizel and thanked it for a good battle. "Alright here is my next Pokemon. Go Gyrados!" The pokeball emerged and what came out Troy had never seen anything like it. It was a huge sea monster type pokemon that took up half of the water battlefield.

"O wow. That thing looks powerful and it is scary." Troy said with a nervous look in his face.
