OOC: Ok.

Chapter 3:

Max was at the enterance of Route 201. He had fit his Pokepal onto his right eye. He figured out that it worked only when the trainer looked at the pokemon. He realized that he hadn't even read up on Larvi! Larvi currently was at Max's heels looking up at him expectantly.

Max looked down at Larvi and the Pokepal read:

Larvi, the Larvitar.

Entry: The rock skin pokemon. A Pokemon that eats soil. Once it has eaten a large mountain, it goes to sleep so it can grow.
Moveset: Bite~Leer
Level: 7
Gender: Female
Type: Rock/Ground
Ability: Guts
Nature: Serious.
Original Trainer: Maximillion Hank Tegeku
Pokeball used for capture:

Then Larvi's info fadded until Max couldn't read it any longer. He looked at Larvi as her stomach started growling in hunger. He smiled remembering what the pokepal read about Lavi's diet. She ate strictely dirt. Max took out of his yellow knapsack two small food bowls he had grabbed before he left. He filled one up with water from a small river nearb and then filled the other one up with dirt.

He waited a few minutes while munching on an apple, until Larvi finally began eating and in a minute or two the whole bowl was licked clean along with all the water. Max washed off the food bowls and put them back into his knapsack. He picked Larvi up and walked down the route.

A few minutes later a small pokemon waddled out onto the route. Without Max wanting to do so the Pokepal scanned the pokemon.

Rose, the Stunky.

Entry: Stunky, the skunk pokemon. It protects itself by spraying a noxious fluid from its rear. The stench lingers for 24 hours. It sprays a nose-curling, stinky fluid from its rear to repel attackers.
Moveset: Scratch~Focus Energy~Poison Gas~Screech
level: 9
Gender: Female
Type: Poison/dark
ability: Aftermath
Nature: Lax
Original Trainer: Gary
Pokeball used for capture:

Max looked at the skunk as it saw him and neared closer. A few minutes later Max could smell its stink. It stunk really bad and Max could hardly bare it. Then after a few more minutes a boy came out of some bushs.

"Hey! What are you doing with rose!?" he asked.

"Oh. So this is your Stunky? It is exceptionally beautiful and if you wouldn't mind I would like to have a battle with you." Max said.

The boy looked at him closely. Max noticed this boy had an orange Pokepall on his left eye. Then the boy nodded accepting his challenge.

OOC: In my next post I will be having the battle there.

 

[ANARCHit3cht]

Pikalover10:Ok, I will be waiting for the battle, but try to lengthen up your post.

Chapter 2: The Lab

Now that all of the people had run off, Elise didn't know what she was supposed to do exactly, so she just ran up to Bagon, who was standing there proudly. Kneeling down so that she was eye to eye with the small blue Pokémon, she opened her mouth to speak words of praise to the Bagon.

"Thanks, you did great in that battle, no Pokémon could have done better during their first battle." She murmured to the Pokémon, who seemed pleased with the compliment. However, it cocked its head and looked inquiringly at her, as if searching for an answer that was written across her face.

"Hang on-" Elise was about to begin speaking when she abruptly cut off. The unspoken words seemed to hang in midair as both their gazes reverted back to Professor Birch, who stood there, somewhat flustered, fists clenched, but loosely. Between his ears, inside his head, his brain was working furiously.

"This is worse than we thought…" The Professor muttered distractedly, as the trainers watched him and listened intently for what he was about to say. After a while, he stopped muttering to himself and faced the trainers, his face slightly flushed, and his clean, white lab coat streaked with dirt, though he did not seem to notice this.

"No time to talk now you guys…" He said, addressing all seven of them, plus the Pokémon. "Follow me to my lab, ok?" It was a request, though it sounded much more like a command. Wordlessly, Elise nodded mechanically, along with several others, though a few just continued to stay silent and still. Professor Birch nodded and gestured to them, and then turned and began to walk off. The trainers themselves followed close behind the Professor. Bagon walked alongside Elise, as she had forgotten about the Pokeball that she was still clutching loosely in her right hand, which was hanging limply by her side.

They traveled across mostly grassy, though somewhat hilly, terrain for a distance, before Professor Birch slid down an embankment, with the trainers still following close behind. The Professor led the trainers into a smooth patch of grass, which spread out around them. He reached for the belt and pulled out a small, handheld radio device, which he held to his mouth.

"Vivian, I have the trainers with me right now, if you would open up please," he said into the radio, speaking slowly and clearly. The trainers all looked around, as if expecting something to happen, though all was silent except for a faint humming noise….

Humming noise?

The humming noise grew louder, and it became clear that the humming sound was actually a grinding of gears. The grass parted in a strange, unnatural way, to reveal a dark staircase leading into the ground. Several trainers, including Elise, stepped backwards, startled by what had just happened, it was so unexpected, but nobody said anything as Professor Birch proceeded down the staircase. With an exchange of apprehensive glances, the trainers, once again, followed the Professor into a dark corridor.

The brightness nearly blinded Elise as they emerged from the darkness into a room filled with light and equipment, much of it complex and advanced looking. Rubbing here eyes and blinking in the bright light, Elise stayed stock still, almost afraid to move for fear of bumping something. Assistants filled a portion of the room as well, tapping furiously at computers that were emitting a whirring noise.

"Okay…." Professor Birch began. The dull murmur that had been rising from the crowd of trainers whispering to each other stopped as a hush fell over the group. The trainers gathered around him, waiting intently, watching the Professor curiously. Elise didn't know what to expect by now.

"Ok, you guys all showed what it means to be a trainer back there" Birch said. "I am proud of all you" he said. "It seems that Team Time wants to rid you guys already. "Oh, and Grey, give the hurt pokemon to one of my assistants ok?" He nodded and did so. "We have some serious business to talk about, so all of you need to listen.." He then stopped speaking, paused, and turned to an assistant. "Do you have the newest equipment?" He asked.

"Sure do." The male assistant said at once, turning to walk into the back of the room. He returned holding small, odd looking…things that appeared to be almost like eye pieces. "These are Pokémon Position Analyzer Lenses, or Pokepals. They are very important. They act not only as a Pokedex, but a digital clock, attack identifier, and much more, those other features are for you to discover. He then passed different ones of various colors to each trainer, handing an orange one to Elise.

"Thank you." She murmured politely, unsure of what else she should say. After they had been passed out, Professor Birch stepped forward again, and all attention turned back to him.

"Thank you," Professor Birch began, "those are the newest tools, not many people have them…yet." He added. "So, once you leave here, you are on your own, it will be pretty tough, Team Time will be looking all over for you. Make your first stop in Sandgem Town." He finished.

The trainers began to leave the lab, and Elise followed suit, her Bagon following close by her side. Suddenly, her foot came into contact with something, and she looked downwards. It was nothing but a thin, warped piece of metal that had been twisted into a screw-like shape. She picked it up, and Professor Birch, catching sight of her holding it, came over at once, his face relieved.

"Thank goodness you found that, I had lost it and it is absolutely essential to the success of the-" He cut off abruptly, and he smiled. "Well, thank you very much for finding it, I'll take it now, good luck on your journey." He took the metal piece from Elise as she ascended the steps, leaving the brightness of the laboratory behind. Then a breeze swept over her face as she emerged once more into the light, only this time it was sunlight, the light of morning.

 

[Gulpin]

"Uh, okay. Well come on Twiggy. Lets battle! Use Tackle!" the boy said, afraid to battle. The small Pokemon ran up and slammed its body into Rocky.

"Okay, Rocky. Lets finish this before it starts: use powder snow!" the Pokemon once again gathered energy from within its small body and blew blasts of snow at the slow Turtwig who couldn't dodge the attack. On the other hand, Grey's PokePal was flashing again. It showed a picture of a Turtwig, then he read, Made from soil, the shell on its back hardens when it drinks water. It lives along lakes. It undertakes photosynthesis with its body, making oxygen. The leaf on its head wilts if it is thirsty. Then another screen comes up saying,Turtwig - Moves: Tackle, Withdraw - Level: 5. Soon the Turtwig was badly hurt, but was huridly making preperations for tackling Rocky again.

"Hurry, Rocky. Use water gun!" the Pokemon once again gathered power in his body and blew a burst of water from its mouth. The PokePal blinked saying, The move is not effective against GRASS type Pokemon. Even though it wasn't effective, it must have been a little bit because the Pokemon fainted, but after hitting Rocky with a tackle. Grey could tell that Rocky was slowly getting weaker, and knew that he needed to get to the PokeCenter in Sandgem Town as quickly as possible. The boy named Sam walked up to Grey, putting out his hand.

As they shook hands, Sam said,"Rivals?"

Then Grey answered, "Rivals."

The two went their seperate ways, Sam going back to Twinleaf to heal Twiggy, and Grey to the other end of the route, on his way to Sandgem. Grey decided to let Spheal in his PokeBall so he would be safe until he got to Sandgem Town. On his way to the end of the route, a small pink Pokemon whizzed past Grey. Grey's PokePal blinked and said,Mesprit: No Further Information. Grey had heard of this Pokemon in the news before... What was it about? Oh, yes there was somthing about it in the newspaper that Grey found in Professor Birch's labratory. He quickly took the old newspaper from his backpack and turned to a page about Mesprit.

The title said,A Mysterious Pink Legendary Pokemon: Seen and on the Loose! Grey was suddenly filled with adrenaline. He had wittnessed a rare legendary Pokemon! But where was it now? Grey looked around, but couldn't see Mesprit. Suddenly he became less excited and mad at himself. He had seen an ultra-rare Pokemon and didn't try to catch it! Soon he got over it and continued walking to Sandgem town. On his way his PokePal flashed multiple times:

Bidoof: It constantly chews on logs and rocks to whittle down its front teeth. It nests alongside water
and:
Kriketot: It shakes its head back and forth, causing its antennae to hit each other and sound like a xylophone.

Iteresting, Grey thought, a musical Pokemon... maybe I'll catch one later!

OOC: Okay, I divided it and I'm gonna add to both in a second. I'm so sorry, I guess I just missed the one thing per post memo. Oh, and is it okay if I start somthing in one post, end it in the next and start somthing else in the 2nd one too?

 

[ANARCHit3cht]

Slytherfang:Good Post. I cant wait til you put up the next chapter.

Chi_Zukasi:The posts are a bit short. The way you had them is also a bit weird. Sam could've helped you in your first post, the you introduced the battle in the second. You did a small battle so Rocky grew to level 7! He grew quite content with his trainer. As for your question, I am not quite sure if I understand.

You can go to an important place and have a battle etc. You can have a battle and go to an important place etc. You can't have a battle, defeat the pokemon, and then start a whole new battle.

 

[Eucliffe]

The sun setting in the West reminded Gale of an egg yolk, stationary in a glop of reddish-pink jello. She had her Eevee out, which was looking at the sunset like it was some sort of sign. Sighing, Gale headed outside of Twinleaf, and onto the first route.

When she first entered the route, she could've sworn she saw something pass by her. Her PokePal immediately picked up data from the thing.

"Mesprit - Mirage Pokemon - No additional data given" the PokePal said, and as Gale read it, the information suddenly changed. "Eevee - Evolution Pokemon - Due to having irregular genes, various causes will make it undergo a transformation" it read this time, and Gale realized the small Eevee, Lace, was right in front of her. Giving out a small chuckle, Gale looked over towards where she had gained data on this "Mesprit" Pokemon, whatever it was. But there was nothing there. Strange, she thought, placing a finger to her lips. Perhaps it's a Ghost type? Her thoughts were then interrupted by a somewhat-annoying voice.

"Hey! Whatcha doing, sweetheart?" the voice asked. Gale whirled around. A young man, probably around Gale's age, was staring at her with crimson red eyes. Gale blushed a little bit; he was very beautiful, especially with those red eyes...

"Um... Why?" she asked, stuttering a bit. The boy smiled.

"Well, how about a battle cutie?" He placed one of his fingers under her chin, and lifted her head so that he was staring down at it. Gale blushed a bit more, than retracted.

"Wh-what did you say? Battle?" she asked cautiously. Her Eevee seemed to give a warning growl. The boy smiled.

"Oh, I haven't introduced myself, have I? I'm Pyr Garnet, but you can just call me Pyr, sweetheart," he said casually. Gale snarled.

"Can you please not call me by any pet name? I have a name too, you know, and it happens to be Gale Sapphire Hana, or just Gale," she retorted. Pyr smiled.

"I do love a feisty girl. So, our battle begins! Come on out, Perr!" A blue otter-like Pokemon appeared, and once again, Gale's PokePal starting receiving data. "Wooper - Water Fish Pokemon - It lives in cold water, half burying itself in mud at the bottom to sleep" was the response. Gale let out another chuckle like she had much earlier.

"Well, interesting Pokemon, 'sweetheart'," she said, clenching her fists. "But, I'm afraid my Eevee is much better than your pathetic Wooper."

"Aw, ya really think so? We'll see about that. Perr, Stockpile!" The Wooper opened up its mouth, and it seemed to act like a vacuum all of a sudden. Dirt, grass, you name it flew into the Wooper's mouth, and when it had gotten enough, it immediately stopped.

"You think that scares me?" Gale asked. "Lace, Tail Whip!" The Eevee ran up to the Wooper and slapped it lightly with her tail. The Wooper fell back onto the ground, but managed to get back up. "Now, Lace, Tackle!" Lace closed in, and was about to strike the Wooper at full power.

"Perr, Spit Up!" The Wooper's mouth opened up, but this time, balls of light were upchucked into the air and rained down on Lace, causing her to trip and fall to the ground.

"Lace! Get up!" Gale called. The Eevee slowly began to rise, but Pyr just smiled.

"Perr, use Stockpile, again!" The vacuum-like mouth seemed to absorb just the right amount of debris closest to it, and Gale began to worry. This thing is a lot tougher than I expected, she thought. Better turn things around...

"Lace, Wish!" The Eevee looked up at the sky, closed her eyes, and let out a small cry. Pyr laughed.

"You silly girl! That will never work? Know why? Because you're finished! Perr, Spit Up again!"

(The rest to be continued. If there's anything you want me to fix, tell me please. All three of Perr's moves are Egg Moves, but only because it would've probably learned all three together.)

Ok here it is oh and I just realized...wasn't Larvi supposed to learn Sandstorm at lvl. 5? JW after I just noticed it and I won't use it in the battle just in case.

Chapter 3: Route 102 (part 2):

Max and Gary were carefully spaced out between eachother. Larvi was out in front of Max and Rose was infront of Gary. The two boys were looking at each other with victory just in their grasp.

"Larvi use Bite!" Max said starting the battle.

"Use Poisonous Gas." Gary said.

Larvi ran at Rose hoping to bite down on the skunk body and not its tail or worse....its butt. Larvi jumped at Rose, who turned around and sprayed a noxious gas out of her behind. Larvi accidently breathed in the gas and plummeted to the ground poisoned. Larvi groaned losing 1/16 of her health.

"Larvi Bite!" Max said.

"Rose use Scratch!" Gary said.

Larvi got up and ran at Rose again. Rose ran at Larvi with her claws growing sharper every second. The two pokemon collided. Larvi had biten down on the claws that Rose was going to use to scratch Larvi. Larvi then swung Rose around in a circle and slung her at a tree. She hit the tree and then slid down the bark.

"Bite again Larvi." Max asid excited.

"Rose dodge and use Screech." Gary said.

Larvi ran at Rose with her teeth growing sharper and sharper by the second. Then she jumped at Rose. Rose pushed off of the tree with her hind legs and spun underneath Larvi. Larvi hit her head on the tree hard and slid down to the ground. Rose turned around and then screamed as loud as she could. Larvi freaked out and then started rapidly shaking her legs and arms.

"Larvi stop freaking out and use Bite!" Max said.

"Use Scratch Rose." Gary said seeing victory in his path.

Rose's claws on both feet got sharper and she ran at Larvi. Larvi slowly stopped freaking out and looked above herself to see Rose in the air over her own body. Then, Rose dived at Larvi. Larvi quickly moved ot of the way and then made her teeth get sharper and sharper. Rose plummeted to the ground and slammed into the earth. Dust was sprayed up into the air. Once the dust settled Larvi jumped in and bit down on Rose's back. Rose yelped in pain and Larvi flinched from losing 1/16 of her health.

"Now here is your chance. Screech and then Scratch!" Gary said quickly.

Rose nodded and then screamed at the top o her lungs again. Larvi screamed in agony and toppled off of Rose freaking out again. Rose sharpened her claws and then bared them down on Larvis stomach. Larvi screamed in agony even louder now and Rose could hardly bare it. Larvi stopped screaming after she lost 1/16 of her health. Rose, thinking Larvi was KO got off of her and headed over to her trainer.

"Larvi Bite!" Max said.

Larvi rushed in at Rose after recovering from the multitude of attacks just played on her and then bared her teeth on Rose's back again. Rose, caugh off guard, screamed in agony and twisted her way out of Larvi's grip. She fell to the ground exhausted but not quit KO. Larvi was panting heavily and then ran at Rose without a command from Max. She bit down on Rose's tail very hard and Rose freaked out. She rolled over onto her back KO, after spraying noxious gas in Larvi's face. Larvi quickly retreated to her trainer with a nasty smell in her nose. Max scooped Larvi up and hugged her tightly after winning their first official match.

Gary returned Rose and walked over to Max. They shook hands and Gary bid him farewell. Max told Gary his name and Gary already knew from scanning Larvi. Gary informed Max on how to keep certain people's data in his Pokepal and Max registered Gary. He only had one pokemon and it was Rose. Max was registered in Gary Pokepal and they went on their seperate paths.

---

After about half an hour Max arrived at the enterance of Sandgem Town. He couldn't wait until he found out what secrets lied in wake for him. Then a pokemon whizzed infront of him and his Pokepal read

Mesprit, the mirage pokemon. No other data available.

Max spun around trying to figure out what pokemon had whizzed in front of him but he couldn't find it. He hesitated but turned slowly around and faced Sandgem Town once again.

 

[Neiko Star]

Chapter Three: Challenge

As Yukiko walked in Route 201 in silence, she began to feel worried. According to her PokePal, that she was now clutching tightly in her hand, a Trapinch's jaws were strong enough to snap boulders. And with Sunset's only attack being Bite at the moment, how would they win battles without spilling blood?

I guess I'll have to teach it a new move then.

She stopped. What kind of attack could she teach Sunset? Even though the PokePal was sure to have the information, how would she teach it to her Pokemon? It seemed impossible.

Glancing up, she saw a person leaning on a tree. It was definitively a man, but his face was hidden in the shadows, so that Yukiko couldn't see it properly.

The man had seen Yukiko as well, and was straightening up. He stepped out of the shadow of the tree, and Yukiko could see that his eyes were of a colour of soft hazel, and that curls of copper hair ran down his neck, falling shortly on his shoulders. He had a pointed chin, a crooked nose and his face seemed to be scarred across his nose. Overall, Yukiko thought he meant--and looked trouble.

"Why, hello there," His voice was raspy and cracked, as though he had not used it for a long time. "I wonder...would a pretty lass like you happen to have any cash on her?"

"No," Yukiko replied flatly.

The man twisted his face and squinted. An expression of shock and delight formed on his face. "You have Pokemon!" he croaked, pointing to Yukiko's chain of dangling balls at her neck.

"I noticed," Yukiko said in the same flat tone. She did not want to talk to this man. She was in the middle of something. "Let me guess, you want them, and you'll battle for them."

"You know your stuff, lass," he murmured, taking out a Pokeball from his pocket.

Yukiko restrained from rolling her eyes. It's what every single villain in comic books, video games, novels and TV shows does.

"But you're going to be sorry you did," the man muttered, an insane glint in his eye. He threw the Pokeball into the air. A large figure popped out.

Yukiko did not flinch. An Ursaring. In fact, she actually smiled. An Ursaring is strong. If Sunset beats it, I'm sure she'll learn new moves. And since it's so powerful, I don't think it'll bleed much either.

She yanked off her own Pokeball from her chain. Tossing it into the air, she saw as the familiar figure popped out of it in a flash of red light.

"Trapinch!" Sunset cried, happy to be outside again.

The man guffawed. "A Trapinch?" he shrieked. "You think that'll beat my Ursaring?"

"Yes," Yukiko answered plainly. "Now Sunset, Bite."

Sunset obeyed, and charged at the Ursaring, but before it could close its jaws around the bear Pokemon's leg, the latter swiped the Trapinch away with a huge paw without any effort. Sunset was sent flying against a tree, but stood up again, unfazed.

"Now, Ursaring," the man shouted. "Crush that thing with your Mega Punch!"

The Ursaring roared, then charge towards Sunset, who looked like a puppy in comparison with the gigantic bear Pokemon.

An idea lit Yukiko's head. "Sunset," she called. "Under its legs!"

The Trapinch understood, sliding under the bear Pokemon legs, as the Ursaring was too late to turn around, and collided with a huge rock.

"Now, Sunset, Bite!" Yukiko ordered, seeing this as their chance.

Sunset bit down hard on the Ursaring's right arm. It howled in pain and fury, as it thrashed around, flinging the Trapinch off. The bear Pokemon stood back up, its right arm falling uselessly, as it roared again.

"You can't beat us that easy," the man shrieked. "Ursaring, Mega Punch again!"

This time Sunset was not ready. Ursaring's fist glowed, as it slammed it on the Trapinch, a direct hit. The latter was sent flying once more, this time crashing painfully with a solid tree trunk. However, it still got back up, though several scratches and bruises were now on its hard, shell-like skin.

"Tra, trapinch," it panted, wobbling on its small legs.

"Don't give up, Sunset!" Yukiko called.

The man shrieked with laughter. "Ursaring, finish it with Slash!"

The bear Pokemon showed huge, sharp claws and ran towards Sunset.

Yukiko had a sudden inspiration. It was using its left arm! "Sunset, wait until the last moment!"

The Trapinch obeyed, though a little shakily, as the Ursaring closed in, claws glinting in the sun. When the claws were barely an inch away--

"Sunset now, jump onto its right arm!"

Sunset did as it was told hopping onto the Ursaring's other arm just in time. The claws followed, but instead of hitting their intended target, they sank deeply into the bear Pokemon's right arm.
As it yowled in pain, Yukiko commanded, "Sunset, now! Bite on its left leg!"

The Trapinch obeyed, glad to put its jaws to good use. With a sickening crunch, the Ursaring roared even louder and fell to the ground, not able to stand without one of its legs.

"It's not over yet!" the man yelled. "Ursaring, get up! "

The bear Pokemon slowly stood up, limping on its right leg. Yukiko, however, acted quickly. She told Sunset, "If you're hard-headed, prove it now!"

Sunset nodded, and charged. Its extremely hard head slammed into Ursaring's stomach. It collapsed, not being able to take the pain.

"Now's your chance," Yukiko said. "Bite again, on its other leg!"

With another crunching sound, Sunset brought its jaws onto the Ursaring's leg and bit. The bear Pokemon, unable to take anymore pain, fell unconscious.

Yukiko drew in a breath. They had won.

[ShadowYashi]

"Alright Sandshrew! Start off with Scratch!"

"Dodge Chip and use Bite!"

Chip nodded and bounced out of the way of Sandshrew's claws, which scratched at the spot where Chip once stood, Chip retaliated with shooting forward and using his large teeth to Bite down on Sandshrew's arm, the rocky mouse just stared down at Chip, unfazed by the bite, while his trainer laughed "Haha it'll take more than a measly bite like that to crack Sandshrew's hard exterior!" A brown haired boy murmured his golden eyes shining with confidence.

Maxine scowled in annoyance as she remembered meeting this over-confident boy.

+-+-+-+-+-+
​

Maxine and Chip had just made their way out of the lab, when suddenly Chip darted off her shoulder and raced forward through the trees. Jeeze, what is it with him and running away from me! Maxine thought as she raced after her Pachirisu "Chip! Chip where'd you go" Maxine called out to the Ele-Squirrel, who was nowhere to be seen in the clearing she had stopped in.

"Chipachi!"

"Chip!" Maxine ran towards Chips voice and found him in the middle of a clearing filled with trees "Chip, what's gotten into you, don't run off like that okay!" Maxine looked at her Pachirisu, who's attention clearly wasn't on her, he was looking around the forest, for what she didn't know "Chip.... what's wrong" Maxine glanced around the forest with caution "Is someone there!" If Maxine didn't have her PokéPal activated and if she wasn't expecting something, she would've never noticed that a patch of the forest was blurry, nor would she had noticed the blur moved. Her head, along with Chip's, snapped towards the movement, but the second they blinked the image was gone, her PokéPal however managed to figure out what it was.

Mesprit
Info: The Mirage Pokemon
--no other data available--

That was a Pokémon? I wonder what a Pokémon like that is doing out here?

Chip seemed to have snapped out of his daze and made his way back over towards Maxine, hopping back on her shoulder, she turned to glance at him briefly and her PokéPal was flooded with information about her cute companion.

Pachirisu (Chip)
Gender: Male
Type: Electric
Level: 8
Ability: Pick Up
Nature: Hasty
Moves: Bite, Quick Attack, Growl
Info: Pachirisu. The EleSquirrel Pokémon. Pachirisu are known to make electricity with pouches in its cheeks and shoots charges from its tail, they also make fur balls that crackle with static electricity and stores them with berries in tree holes.

Maxine blinked and clutched her right eye, which was currently being obscured by the Pink PokéPal "Oh god... is this what's gonna happen every time I look at a Pokémon....?" she asked herself, but Chip shrugged anyway "I don't think I'll be able to handle all this information popping up every second I glance at a Pokémon... but Birch didn't give us any instructions, he just said... we have to discover the other features on our own" she groaned and shook her head frowning "How wonderful..."

"Chipa Chipachi!"

Chip was standing on her shoulder making weird gestures and funny faces, he didn't like seeing his trainer upset. Maxine laughed lightly "Aww I'm okay Chip.. its just this is kinda overwhelming and the PokéPal seems like it might get annoying in some cases...." she trailed off looking through the trees, a flash of brown flew through her line of sight and her PokéPal came to life "See what I said about annoying" she told Chip as they watched the Starly land before them, unaware of their presence, it was too worried about glancing behind it to worry about what's infront of it.

Starly
Type: Flying
Info: Starly. The Starling Pokémon. Starly normally travels in a flock but when alone it is hard to notice.

"Really, it seemed hardly inconspicuous to me" she mumbled under her breath and Chip got off her shoulder, ready to do battle with the bird "Alright Chip! Start off with Quick Attack" Chip nodded and shoot off on all fours like a rocket, about to ram the bird in the head, but another attack had intercepted Chip's attack, a barrage of needles came flying out the trees aimed at the spot Chip stood in, causing him to get knocked back in front of Maxine.

"Good Job Sandshrew, I think we got it!"

Apparently the bauched attack Chip had performed alerted the Starly and in a panic, the young Starling flew off and a second later after it did a boy and his Sandshrew came tumbling out of the tree's "Aww, looks like it got away buddy" Maxine had just picked up her dazed Pachirisu and held him in her arms protectively when she noticed the boy and vice versa, he glance at Max uninterestedly and this caused Maxine to scowl "Hey watch it! You could've hurt Chip!" she held Chip out at arms length, who squeaked cutely at the boy, while said boy scrunched up his face in distaste "Eh that runt looks okay to me, you shouldn't have been in the way of my capture" the boy stated crossing his arms over his chest.

Maxine's jaw dropped at his rudeness and Chip glared at the boy, how dare he call him a runt! Maxine took a deep breath and calmed herself, no need to become ugly, first impression is the best impression "Calm down Chip, it's okay" Chip nodded in Max's arms while she held him and studied the boy before her he had dark brown spiky/messy hair, it looked like he just got out of bed and ran a hand through it just to make it look seemingly presentable, his eyes were like honey, rich and gold. He looked to be about her age maybe older, he stood about Five feet and five inches with a slightly athletic looking build, the boy wore a simple black vest, with an assortment of pockets over a plain long sleeved orange shirt with some faded blue jeans and some red and black running shoes, around his neck she noticed a necklace that had a strange emblem on it, it was like in the shape of an M and for the strangest reason it reminded Maxine of Team Magma's Emblem back in Hoenn, but there's no way Magma would be here, their to busy off feuding with Team Aqua.

"Hey, what's this?" Maxine felt calloused fingers brush against her cheek and her PokéPal and she blinked out of her stupor, only to meet curious Honey colored orbs, she could feel her face heat up before she leapt away from the boy, pointing accusingly at the person "Woah! Woah! Woah! Personal space please and just who do you think you are... you have no right to touch me!" the boy smirked and his golden eyes widened a fraction as he lifted his arms in defense "Calm down girly..." Maxine scowled at that but said nothing "I'm sorry for getting in your face, but that eye piece you got is pretty Hi-Tech.. I've never seen anything like it before"

"Don't worry about where I got it from... besides its brand new, they haven't even been distribu--" Maxine paused. Crap.. I don't think anyone was supposed to know about these yet. Maxine bit her lip nervously, hoping she wouldn't get in trouble for blabbing a bit "umm you know what nevermind. Who are you anyway and why did you attack Chip!" The boy sighed and ran a hand through his shortly spiked messy brown locks "The names Cain Mullborough and I thought I told you..." he sighed and shook his head "I was trying to attack that Starly, its not my fault your Pachirisu got in the way" he shrugged and his Sandshrew mimicked his movements, Maxine glanced at the Sandshrew and her PokéPal came to life again.

Sandshrew
Gender: Male
Type: Ground
Level: 10
Nature: Hardy
Ability: Sand Veil
Moves: Scratch, Defense Curl, Poison Sting, Sand-Attack
Info: Sandshrew. The Mouse Pokémon. When it curls up in a ball, it can make any attack bounce off harmlessly. Its hide has turned tough and solid as a result of living in the desert.

Maxine studied the Sandshrew, it was yellow in color, with a tan underbelly. Its eyes were blue and it stood about two feet tall, cracks protruded along its exterior, she assumed since Sandshrew lived in the desert, that is the reason their bodies look like this and she noticed small but sharp claws on its paws.

"Wow... that's one wicked eye patch you got there... what's it called" Cain whistled impressed, Maxine once again found him in her personal space bubble, causing her to squeak uncharacteristically and jump back away from him again "Stop.... doing that!" she huffed glaring at him with a red face and Cain laughed "Jeeze girly... what's the matter, you act like you've never spoken to a guy before" Maxine said refused to look at Cain, opting to look through the trees "First off... my name is Maxine... Maxine Gray a-and.... why does it matter who I speak to" Cain blinked with a huge grin on his face "Hahaha you've never talked to a boy before! What, have you lived under a rock for your entire life?! Hahahaha" Max just glowered at Cain, he just managed to put himself on her most loathsome list.

"Hey... can I call you Maxie?" Maxine blinked at his question before she finally registered what he said "N-No!"

"Aww, but I think it's cute...."

"C-Cute!? I don't even know you" she pointed angrily at him "You just popped out of nowhere and started harassing me and Chip"

Cain just brushed off her insult and stared at her hard, while Maxine felt unnerved by the gaze "Hmm how about this..." Cain mumbled tapping his chin thought fully "How about what?"

"We have a battle... your a beginner trainer right" Maxine nodded "Alright then, I want you to battle me... Sandshrew vs your Pachirisu and the winner gets to keep that eyepatch of yours" he smirked cockily and Maxine glared "No way! You can't have my PokéPal... think of something else" she demanded Cain hmm'd and snapped his fingers and placed his hands on his hips, leaning forward slightly "Alright, how about If I win you have to give me a kiss" Maxine shook her head rapidly "No way! I don't want anything that involves touching you!"

Cain snickered "Calm down Maxie, I was just joking"

"And don't call me Maxie" she snapped

"Alright then, how about this... if I win, I get to call you Maxie whenever the next time we see each other"

Ha! Like we'll ever see each other after this. Maxine thought with a slight smirk "Fine, but if I win, you have to...." she glanced around thoughtfully "you have to... umm never call me Maxie again!" Cain smirked again and nodded "alright" he took a few steps back with Sandshrew by his side "I'll start"

And that was how their battle began.

Pikataro:Nice way of meeting your rival. I can't wait until the rest of the battle.

Pikalover10:One thing, Gary shouldn't have a PokéPal. I'll let it pass, as he stole it from Prof. Birch. That was a good battle, normally, you would go to level 8. But since you have a Pseudo Legendary, leveling will be tougher. Larvi grew to level 8. She grew quite content with her master.

Neiko Star:Oh, a pokéThief? That was a very creative way to beat the Ursaring. Sunset grew to level 9! Sunset Learned Sand-Attack!

ShadowYashi:Nice Flashback there. Cain has a bit of a flirty attitude no? So, I am assuming that the rest of the battle will be your next post. I cant wait.

Chapter 3: Memories... (Post 1)

Elise tread with light footsteps upon an already well-trodden path. There seemed to be no others about save for her and Bagon. Bagon…maybe she could give Bagon a nickname, because Bagon sounded so, well, ordinary.

But what was she supposed to name it?

Elise stared at Bagon for a long while, while it stared back, its head cocked to show its confusion. She supposed it would be confused, she would be too if someone she knew just started staring intently at her, as if scrutinizing her. It would make her feel almost like an experiment. But no name that she thought of sounded fitting for Bagon. Her brain worked for a while, coming up with different names, but she dismissed each and every one of them.

Sandy? No…a bully I knew was named Sandy
Lexie? Ugh, that was Sandy's best friend!
Sarah? Too common.
Mary? Again, too common.
Emily? WAY too common.
Greta? Almost like Gretel in Hansel and Gretel! I always hated that story.

And as she asked Bagon's opinion on these names, each time it shook its head violently from side to side, a sure sign of its disapproval.

Finally, she decided to close her eyes and open them again, maybe some brilliant, perfectly fitting name would pop into her mind. Then again, maybe not. Elise decided to try it anyway. She closed her eyes and stood there for a moment, eyes screwed shut, before opening them again. Of course.

Eclipse.

How did she not think of it? Either way, she knew that Eclipse would be the perfect name for her Bagon, beautiful, not too long, and starting with an E! She actually didn't know where 'Starting with an E' came from, but it was another reason to call the name Eclipse THE perfect name for her Pokémon

"Do you like the name Eclipse?" She asked Bagon at last, expecting Bagon to dismiss her perfect name, but instead, Bagon nodded soundlessly, though its eyes gave away its approval of the name.

"Awesome! From now on, your name is Eclipse!" Elise declared, and looked up as a pinkish/grayish blur sped past them, moving too fast for her to catch a glimpse of it, though she was positive it was a Pokémon. However, the PokePal over her left eye suddenly seemed to come to life as words appeared in front of her left eye on an orange background, as her PokePal was orange.

Mesprit: The Mirage Pokémon
<No other data is available>

"Geez, this is hard to read with both eyes open." Elise commented, closing her right eye in order to read the text. "Weird." She said after having read the "information" on the Pokémon Mesprit. "I could swear I've heard the name before, but I can't…remember…where…"

"Bag? Bagon?" Bagon asked Elise, tugging on her pants leg. Elise looked down at her Pokémon.

"Oh, I was just saying how its strange that the name "Mesprit" stirs something in my mind." She told the Pokémon, who nodded and looked back towards the path. Suddenly, a voice called out, breaking the fragile quiet.

"Hey, you!" Startled, Elise spun around, trying to find the speaker, when a boy around her age ran up to her.

"Hey, are you a new trainer too?" He asked, "and what's that weird thing on your eye?" He added, noticing Elise's PokePal. Elise grimaced.

"Yeah, I'm a new trainer, and this orange thing on my eye is a PokePal, don't ask." She replied shortly, briskly, as Eclipse looked up at the trainer that had just approached them.

"Is that Bagon yours? I bet it can't beat my Ralts! My Ralts looks at least ten times stronger. I'm Connor, by the way." The boy said everything very fast, and all in one breath, and it took Elise a moment to register what he had said, though upon hearing the name Connor, tears suddenly sprang to her eyes.

Connor. Her brother's name. She had not seen her brother for years, and now hearing his name again brought back things that she would rather not remember. He now lived with the Minj family, and she dearly hoped that he had not forgotten her, that he was doing well in his new home…

But she was determined to hold back the tears that threatened to spill down her cheeks. Instead, she faced the boy angrily, "Eclipse amounts to more than your Ralts ever could." She snapped, saying something that she could otherwise never have said about a Pokémon, though right now, all she felt was anger that she had to come across someone who brought back such painful memories. Upon hearing the exchange of words, the Bagon bristled and straightened, looking defiant, then slightly less so after hearing Elise's defense.

She seemed to have touched a nerve, however, as Connor turned on her.

"Oh, yeah? Prove it!"

"How would you like me to prove it?" She asked coldly, and Connor looked stumped for a moment before grinning.

"Battle me, that's how you prove it."

Slytherfang:I can't wait for the battle. It sounds like it will be good, a little family rivalry eh?

Chapter 3: Post One

Cammy, Moochie and the rest of the heroic trainers emerged from the secret hideout, only to be greeted by a blazing sunset. Only after this did the girl realize how dark Professor Birch's secret lab was, as she forced to look down due to the intensity of the sun. She saw Moochie eagerly sniffing the ground and digging through the dirt. Apparently she had been a little too caught up in the canine's actions because when she finally looked up, all the trainers had left. She was just about to shout for anyone when an ominous wind swept by her.

"Hound! Houndour!" the Pokemon barked frantically before running around in confused circles.

"Calm down Moochie!" Cammy ordered and the Houndour stopped abruptly. "That wind seemed to come out of nowhere," she added, feeling that familiar shiver.

Whoosh!

Something flew past Cammy's head so quickly that it made the hair on her head shoot back while also making the hairs on her back stand up. Almost instinctively, she pulled down the purple eye piece and was a bit captivated by everything taking purplish hue, even Moochie. However, there was another surprise in store as she laid her eyes on the thing that startled her so. A pink fairy floated at the edge of the clearing, staring intently at Cammy and Moochie, before finally darting off at impressive speeds. The young trainer considered pursuing until her PokePAL beeped into life and a load of information covered her eyepiece.

Mesprit, the Mirage Pokemon, no other data available.

Cammy read the message aloud multiple times, as it was difficult for the girl to realize what exactly just happened. One thing was certain though: she was going to need some time to get used to the device. With a sigh, the girl turned to her Pokemon, who wore an equally amazed expression. Cammy had to suppress a laugh as she gently brushed Moochie's fur, bring the Houndour back to reality.

"C'mon hun, there's nothing left to do here." Without even waiting for her Pokemon's reply— mostly because Moochie had already proved to be quite the loyal pup— Cammy got to her feet and made her way back to the main route. With her head turned, she didn't even notice Moochie staring in Mesprit's direction. Cammy may have already dismissed it, but Moochie was determined to find out more about the mysterious creature.


*****


The duo continued their journey silently to Sandgem Town. Cammy hadn't realized how off track Birch's little hideout had brought them and only hoped that they'd reach the town before nightfall. Every few minutes or so she would dig in her bag and toss Moochie a treat, which she had packed knowing that she'd get her first Pokemon today. However, she had stupidly brought only one bag and wouldn't ever forgive herself if she allowed her precious Pokemon to starve.

"Hound! Houndour!"

"Sorry Moochie, we've got to conserve the treats," she replied casually, not even glancing at her Pokemon. When did manage to look up, she saw that Moochie's barks weren't referring to the treats at all. The small canine had run off into the nearby bushes, her small hears vibrating rapidly. The young trainer suddenly remembered how good a Houndour's hearing was and guessed that the Pokemon had picked up something interesting. She only wished she grasped this earlier, because now she had to run to keep up with the small dog. Oh, how she despised running.

"Slow... down..." Cammy muttered exhaustedly after running for only five minutes. Moochie had long since stopped at a small clearing and was waiting for her trainer, so the command meant nothing to her. The girl dropped to her knees when she reached her Pokemon and refused to speak until she could catch her breath.

"Okay, what was that about!?" she demanded. Moochie made a low whimpering sound— was she telling Cammy to quiet down?— and pointed her wet nose at the clearing. The uptight trainer nearly screamed at what she saw. In the clearing stood that all too familiar grunt they just defeated. His uniform had been dirtied considerably since they last met, probably because he was busy making a run for it. At his feet stood the same Zigzagoon and Cammy nearly cringed when she saw the fur on its side was still burnt.

"You stupid, insignificant peon!" the grunt roared. "First you let that girl smack you around, and now you can't even stand your own against a Wild Starly?" The Zigzagoon looked a little taken back, but quickly regained its cool and moved toward its trainer.

"Don't you dare touch me! You disgust me!" he cried rearing backward. He retrieved a pokeball from his pocket and Zigzagoon instinctively closed its eyes, thinking it was going to be recalled.

"Open you eyes, I want you to see this," the grunt ordered. Zigzagoon opened its eyes just in time to see the man throw the sphere and smash it with a stomp of his foot. A blue light encased Zigzagoon, followed by the faint sound of breaking glass.

"Congratulations, I just released you. Go bother someone else with your filth." Tears immediately filled the Pokemon's eyes but by the look of the grunt's face, it knew the human was 100% serious. Battered and humiliated, the Pokemon turned tail and made its way toward the tall grass from whence it came.

"You know what, guy? You're really pissin' me off!" Cammy shouted before storming off to intercept Zigzagoon. Moochie knowingly stood between the grunt and her trainer as she ran. The raccoon Pokemon looked scared as it realized the face of the person that burned it, but the smile on Cammy's face kept it from running away. After petting the Pokemon for a few seconds, it let down its guard and curled into Cammy's arms. The grunt scoffed at the touching gesture and turned to leave.

"Where do you think your going?" Cammy asked with hint of anger. "You're going to pay for what you did to this poor Pokemon."

The grunt simply turned his head toward the girl. It was obvious to him that the fire in her eyes weren't going to burn out any time soon. With a sigh, he turned completed around, but with a second pokeball in his hand. Cammy was honestly hoping he had no more tricks up his sleeve.

"If it's a battle you want, little girl, you've found one."


*****


OOC: Don't forget that Cammy plans on keeping Zigzagoon so I guess this can be counted as a capture post.

 

[ANARCHit3cht]

Gummy:Good Post. I am looking forward to the battle. You befriended a level 4 Zigzagoon!

 

[ShadowYashi]

"Aww C'mon Maxie, you look like a really smart girl... so why do something so stupid?" Cain taunted from his side of the field, he had just issued Sandshrew to use Sand-Attack, thoroughly blinding Chip, whom Maxine had commanded to use Quick-Attack while it was blinded and Sandshrew responded with Defense Curl. Chip hit his head on Sandshrew's curled form, causing the Elesquirrel to cry out in pain and tumble around while clutching its head.

"Finish this with Poison Sting Sandshrew"

Sandshrew nodded and fired a barrage of Poison tipped needles at Chip, who was shaking his head and still trying to get the Sand from its eyes "Dodge it Chip" Chip's grey eyes snapped open and he nimbly ducked out of the way at Sandshrew's attack, the needles grazing the tip of his tail Chip winced slightly but brushed it off and glared at Sandshrew.

"Use Bite Chip!"

"Scratch Sandshrew!"

Sandshrew was the first to attack, he ran up to Chip and lifted his arm, claws gleaming in the sunlight "Dodge and Bite his arm Chip!" a second after Sandshrew bought his arm down to swipe the Elesquirrel, Chip sidestepped Sandshrew's arm and latched his teeth onto the hard rocky exterior of Sandshrew's skin. Sandshrew smirked, and Cain mirrored his Pokémon "I thought I told you, those bites won't work on Sandshrew. Shake it off" Sandshrew nodded and began to shake its arm rapidly, trying to fling Chip off "Don't let go Chip! Bite down harder and hang on!"

Chip nodded in reply and bit harder, while grabbing tightly onto Sandshrew's arm with it's tiny paws and legs, this just caused Sandshrew to cry out and flail his arm harder "Haha now what are you gonna do" Maxine laughed, giving Cain a triumphant smirk, who did nothing but lowered his eyes at Sandshrew "Poison Sting" Sandshrew nodded and stopped shaking his arm, he instead lifted it near his face and was set on blasting Chip and point blank range with Poison Sting!

"Chip look out!"

Chip's eyes went wide as he watched Sandshrew smirk and open it's mouth, hitting the poor squirrel in the side. Chip shut his eyes and cried out in pain and his hold began to loosen on Sandshrew's arm "Keep it up Sandshrew" Maxine watched with wide eyes as Chip was still biting into Sandshrew's arm, while said mouse fired away with Poison Sting. I need to do something or Chip won't last much longer. Maxine thought as she watched her Pachirisu get pelted by the needles.

"Chip, get off his arm!"

Chip's eyes snapped open and his grip and bite loosened completely on Sandshrew's arm, he then jumped away from Sandshrew and landed on his feet weakly, wincing from the poison "Crap... Chip's been poisoned... I need to end this soon or I'll loose" Cain smiled and Sandshrew ceased fire, closing his mouth "Now finish this battle with Scratch Sandshrew!" Cain pointed at Chip, who was panting and holding onto his side, which had gotten poisoned Sandshrew smiled viciously and charged at Chip "Dodge with Quick Attack Chip and then use Growl!"

Chip nodded and tried to dodge Sandshrew's claws, keyword tried, though Chip did manage to get away from Sandshrew's scratch, the mouse's claws grazed Chip's already poisoned torso, causing Chip to cry out in pain as he skidded to a halt and growled at Sandshrew, causing Sandshrew to freeze momentarily "Hurry Chip, use Quick attack!" Chip gritted his teeth and nodded, before he dashed at Sandshrew, hitting him in his vulnerable stomach, sending him tumbling and falling onto his back.

"Quick while he's down, use Bite Chip!" Cain just shook his head and sighed at Maxine's mistake "Tut, tut, tut Maxie, not only is you Pachirisu gonna most likely faint from the poison, but remember I have Defense Curl" just as that statement left his lips, Sandshrew curled into a ball right before Chip's teeth came down on its rock hard shell, Chip cried out in pain as tears formed at his eyes while he clutched his mouth after his teeth hit Sandshrew's hard shell.

"Chip! Are you okay!?" Chip sniffed but nodded weakly "Darn, I need to end this now, or Chip's done for" Maxine bit her lip and began to think about a way to beat Cain's Sandshrew "I think I got it" she snapped her fingers together "Chip, I want you to use Quick Attack!"

"Stop it with Sand Attack!"

Both Chip and Sandshrew leapt in to action, Sandshrew kicked sand at Chip, who dodged it with Quick Attack "Run around in him in a circle!" Chip nodded and began to run circles around Sandshrew, though he wasn't running exactly at the normal QA speed, due to the poison. Cain smirked "Use Poison Sting and follow up with a powerful Scratch to end it!" Sandshrew nodded and watched Chip run around it for a few moments before firing a barrage of needles at the spot Chip would run into next, causing him to trip, fall and skid a few feet away from the ground mouse, who flexed his claws and stalked over Chip about to end the battle.

"C'mon Chip. Get up and use Bite" pushing past his limit, Chip shakily stood on all fours and lundged at Sandshrew's unprotected stomach, biting into the flesh and causing the mouse to to cry out in pain "Get him off of you Sandshrew, use Scratch!" Sandshrew grit his teeth and winced, using both hands to slash at Chip's head, while said squirrel continued to bite into Sandshrew's stomach "Don't give in Chip, just keep on biting!" Maxine commanded and Chip bit deeper into Sandshrew's stomach and Sandshrew responded with scratching furiously at Chip, trying to pry the EleSquirrel off its vulnerable flesh.

It was a battle of will and strength between the two, both of their health was diminishing at a quick rate, with Chip's health going down even faster than Sandshrew's due to the poison, how the EleSquirrel managed to not faint yet was a mystery to both trainers, but Chip refused to give in, he wouldn't lose, he'd win and show Maxine what he's capable of, they've been going back and forth like this for a few minutes now.

Bite. Scratch. Bite. Scratch

Seriously Chip should've fainted by now. "That's one stubborn Pachirisu you've got there Maxie, he should've been out like a light now" Cain murmured watching as Chip and Sandshrew continued to trade blows, Chip would bite Sandshrew with all his might and Sandshrew would reply by scratching the Squirrel in the head, although the blows were getting weaker with every second that passed, after the battle Chip would probably have enough scratches in his skull to make it look like he was trying to stuff his head through a paper shredder, while the bite on Sandshrew's stomach just seemed to swell and turn purple, that is one bruise that would take alot of time to heal and will most likely hurt like hell when it gets treated.

Eventually, will over powered strength and Sandshrew gave out, falling to the ground in a heap, breathing heavily with a half conscious Chip biting on his stomach. Maxine was silent and stared at her heavy breathing Electric Pokémon, before she walked over to her poisoned, battered and bruised companion "Haha! I won! Way ta go Chip! You we're awesome!" she told the Pachirisu, picking him up gently and he smiled up at her weakly and Cain just watched Maxine wit lazy eyes before adding his two cents in "Bah, you only won cause you got lucky" he said grinning at her cheekily and Maxine just glared "Nu-Uh! Your just jealous cause I beat you" Cain snorted and rolled his honey colored eyes, which held amusement "Whatever Maxie" he said before walking over to his Sandshrew and helping his fallen friend stand in an upright position, the ground mouse winced held his stomach gently, which exploded with pain when touched. Eww, that's gonna leave on nasty bruise. Cain thought as his gaze flickered over to Chip, who was sporting some scratches just as nasty as Sandshrew's bite.

"Hey! You can't call me that any more!" Maxine proclaimed poking him hard in the shoulder "I won the battle, so you have to stop!"

"But Maxie is shorter and easier to say, plus I think it's a cute nickname" Maxine frowned and glared at Cain, while shaking her head "No! I refuse to be called Maxie!" Cain pouted and began to whine childishly "But Maxieee!"

"No!"

"Fine, how about Max then?"

"That's worse then Maxie! You make me sound like a boy!"

"Which is why I like Maxie"

"Grrr"

"Now, now Maxie, no need to sound like a Houndour"

"Don't you have somewhere to be or something" Maxine snarled, glaring at him while Cain just waved his hands in a defensive manner "Calm down Maxie… I'm going, I'm going… no need to have a Miltank" Maxine sniffed in reply and Cain smirked "Later Maxie!"

"Whatever" she huffed, turning away from the brown haired boy who walked off with his Sandshrew

"Hey Maxie!"

Maxine just scowled and turned back to glare at Cain and give him a piece of her mind, if it weren't for the fact that a yellow bottle was tossed into her hand, she blinked and looked at the bottle of Antidote curiously before looking at Cain with confused eyes "What's this for?" Cain gave her a blank stare before chuckling lightly "Wow Maxie, you sure are a bit slow....." Maxine glowered at him in reply "Its for Chip" he told her, brushing off the glare and turning around to walk away again "I suggest you treat him soon, otherwise he might not make it... C'mon Sandshrew, lets go find that Starly from before!" Sandshrew nodded at his trainer and the two began to walk in the opposite direction of Route 201.

Maxine watched the weird brown haired boy go, almost disappearing beyond the trees, biting her lip nervously. Should I say it. Swallowing hard, Maxine took a few steps forward and called out to the boy "Hey Cain!" said boy and his Pokémon halted and he looked back at Maxine with curious eyes, she gulped again and took a deep breath "Thanks for the Antidote!" a small smile graced his features "And uhh... I hope...umm maybe we can have a rematch sometime!" Cain nodded his head slightly before he and Sandshrew vanished from the area, leaving just Maxine and a poisoned Chip alone.

Once he was gone, she quickly treated Chip with the Antidote, only when she had finished applying the spray did she just realized what she said "I can't believe I said that" she mumbled bringing a hand to her forehead "Maxine… you're an idiot" sighing, Maxine glanced up at the sky, the sun was beginning to fade into the horizon "Oh crap! We were supposed to be in Sandgem Town!" Maxine cried, glancing at Chip with wide eyes "C'mon... we gotta go!" with that said Maxine began to ran off, only to have her foot get caught on something sticking from the ground and Chip flew from her arms, the battered Pokémon tumbled and rolled a few feet away from her, to weak and recovering from the poison to do much of anything now.

"Chip!" Maxine cried out running towards the EleSquirrel and picking him up again, she glared at whatever it was she tripped over and was shocked to find large cream colored claw poking from underground... pocketing the item quickly Maxine opted to inspect it later, now she quickly rushed towards Sandgem Town, hoping to get to the Pokémon Center as soon as possible to heal Chip.

(REPORTED --' Seriously, it's happened in another RP I'm in before, only the person wasn't negative, they were just spamming... Anyhoo...)

The yucky balls of light came out of the Wooper's mouth as fast as dodgeballs. All but one hit the poor Eevee directly; the one that was misfired landed on Gale's shoe. Immediately washing it off with a disgusted look, Gale couldn't help but gape at her fallen Eevee.

"LACE!!!" Gale shouted.

"It's over, babe," Pyr replied with a smile. "Good job, Perr." He petted his Wooper, who licked his hand with its long, slimy tongue. Just then, it seemed a beautiful yellow light crashed down from the sky onto Lace. Sparkles flew around Lace, and at once, she was back to normal.

"You do know how Wish works, right?" Gale mocked. Pyr snorted. "Anyways, Lace, use Tail Whip!!!" The Eevee got up close to the Wooper, who was off-guard, and batted his face back and forth again. And, as if by instinct, she slowly walked back, then charged at the Wooper, still surprised from the last attack. The Wooper fell into Pyr's arms, and it seemed to be over.

"Perr, Stockpile..." Pyr muttered. The Wooper began inhaling miscellaneous debris again, and Gale knew to prepare for the worst. "And now," Pyr continued. "Swallow." The Wooper seemed to gulp down the debris, and all its current injuries vanished. Pyr smiled. "Hey, babe, betcha didn't know about his Swallow technique. Stockpile is a very unique move, if you ask me." He gave a gleaming smile, and Gale shuddered.

"Lace, best be careful with this Wooper," she muttered. Lace nodded, as if understanding what she had said.

"Well, now, let's continue. Perr, Stockpile again!" This was Gale's chance.

"Lace, go behind the Wooper now! Then, you know what to do!" The Eevee dove behind Perr as if he were about to attack. But Perr couldn't turn around, as if it did, it would lose all it stockpiled. Lace charged at the Wooper with full power. This is it, Gale thought. We're gonna win! But by then, Perr was done stockpiling.

"Spit Up! Full power!!!" Perr whirled around, and launched the balls just as Lace made contact. An explosion of dust covered the two, and left Gale and Pyr with anticipation. After about ten seconds, the dust began clearing away. The two Pokemon were glaring at each other. Lace had her back arched like a cat would and her teeth bared like a dog's; Perr was whipping his tail around in a taunting sort of way and let out a menacing snarl. After a few more seconds, though, the Wooper finally fell on the ground, too exhausted to move anymore. Sighing, Pyr picked up his KO'd Wooper and looked at Gale.

"You're tough, sweetie," he said to her. "But believe me, next time we meet, we'll be MUCH stronger." And with the snap of his fingers, he ran off. Cocking her head with a confusing glance, Gale looked down at the somewhat tired Lace.

"Don't worry, you did a great job," she reassured the worn-out Eevee. "Sandgem's close by. I'm sure we'll get to heal you there." And while I'm at it, maybe I can check in with my master. I'm sure she'll be surprised... she added in her mind.
