Teagan rolled her eyes at Cyndaquil's lame remark. "Really, I didn't know you weren't a Zubat. You look just like one to me. Anyway, it's time to get our first Pokemon battle started...I guess. And if it's a legendary, good for me."
This time it was Cyndaquil's turn to roll his eyes. "Cynda, cynda cynda." (Yeah, because legendaries just go around appearing to trainers all the time.)
"Y'never know." Teagan took a stance and pointed at the trees. "Use Ember!"
"Cynda." (Only one problem...I don't know that attack yet!)
"Oh." Teagan felt kind of stupid. "Well, then, come out come out whoever you are so I can get my Cyndaquil to scratch your eyes out!"
Contrary to what everyone thought would happen, the thing actually came out. It was a small, bug-like Pokemon with torn-up looking wings and a halo above its head. It floated in midair, and its blank eyes stared at nothing. It didn't move, just hovered in the air as if it was an inanimate object.
"Huh...? What's that?" Teagan asked herself, then remembered she had a Pokedex now and looked it up.
"NUKENIN, the Shed Pokemon, NUKENIN's hard body doesn't move - not even a twitch. In fact, it's body appears to be merely a shell. It is believed that this POKEMON will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back. NUKENIN is a peculiar Pokemon. It seems to appear unsought in a POKE BALL after a TSUCHININ evolves. This bizarre POKEMON is entirely immobile - it doesn't even breathe. It is a peculiar POKEMON that floats in the air even though its wings remain completely still. The inside of its body is hollow and utterly dark."
"Geez, that was long," Teagan said, then realized she had the setting on all of Nukenin's previous Pokedex entries. Oh well, at least I know all of the information I can about it, she thought. But we don't live in Japan...what's it's English name? She set the language to English and it read 'Shedinja'. From then on, she had it on English/Japanese names in that order, so she could sound smart saying the Japanese names. From then on, she'd nickname all her Pokemon their Japanese names.
"Wow," she said aloud. "A dead, soul-sucking Pokemon."
"Cyn..." (Technically, it's spirit sucking...)
"Whatever. It says here that all you need to do to make Nukenin faint is to attack it with an attack that's super-effective. As in fire, dark, ghost, or flying...I'm sure there's more but right now I'm craving pizza and I can't think about much else."
Cyndaquil got into battle stance.
"Cyndaquil, it won't work for you, you don't have any super-effective attacks against it. The only ones you have are Scratch and Growl."
"Cynda!" (Well, then, what are we supposed to do?)
Teagan set her expression and took out a PokeBall.
"Cynda-cynda cyn?" (You can't mean to try and capture it without attacking it first?)
"That's exactly it," said Teagan. "Nukenin, I know that you don't have much to live for and you might actually really hate even living right now, what with being a soul sucker-"
"Cyn-" (Actually, it's spirit-)
Teagan looked at Cyndaquil with a kind of fury that she never even knew she had, and Cyndaquil shut up.
"-but I know that you can be good, and besides, I don't usually make sappy speeches so you better listen to this one. Because you ain't gonna get another one for a long time." She stared into Nukenin's black, soul-less eyes and didn't back down.
Nukenin stared right back creepily.
"Okay, well, that's kinda creepy, so, uhm, I'm kind of new at this, but, uh, go PokeBall!" Teagan threw the PokeBall and it hit Nukenin's shell, sucking him inside.
"Please..." Teagan watched as the PokeBall wiggled slowly back and forth.
Cyndaquil stared at it, eyes wide. "Quilll..." (If it gets caught, I'm going to go kill myself. These kinds of things don't happen.)
The PokeBall stopped wiggling and a red light shone in the center, then disappeared, indicating that the Nukenin was caught. Teagan jumped around happily and took the PokeBall from the grass where it lay. "Whoo, yeah, I caught a Nukenin!"
Cyndaquil took out a knife and looked at it suggestively.
"Cyndaquil!" Teagan took the knife out of his paw and threw it into the woods, where some poor Wurmple who was being attacked by a Bidoof (yeah, everyone despises him) caught it. The Wurmple looked at the knife and then up at the Bidoof with an evil smile. The Bidoof got huge eyes and ran away, screaming. Wurmple chased after it and eventually caught up with it and ate it and evolved twice from the good meal.
"Now. Let's go back to the campsite. Cyndaquil, can you give us some light?"
"Quil, quil-cynda!" (So now it's us, huh? Now that you have your very own spirit-sucker to boss around.)
"Ah, don't worry Cyndaquil. He'll never replace my first Pokemon."
How cute ^^
OOC: GOD, that was long. I got my writer's block broken. Yay me! So. Now...we wait XD
