Century

Century watched the pokeball stop emitting white light and finally coming to a rest on the ground. He looked down at his Caterpie, "Great job Caterpie!" He reached down and allowed it to climb back onto his shoulder. Century reached into his pocket and pulled out a pokesnack and fed it to his Caterpie.

"Pi!" It exclaimed in enjoyment.

"How did it go?" Century heard Abel's voice from behind him. Century turned back towards him, and his Pokabu which was on the ground behind Century.

"Pretty good," Century said modestly, "I caught the thing." He grinned, as he flipped the pokeball in his hand before placing it on the inside of his leather coat. Century analyzed the sky above them, the lights were dimming and the sky was growing dark.

"We had best set up for tonight, tomorrow we'll make our way towards the Gym... But I'm exhausted now." Century let off a small pant. Century had begun slowly making his way to the forest, and turned back towards Abel before speaking, "You ready?"

​

 

[D. Lawride]

"Congratulations on the catch, then!" He commended, nodding at Century's question afterwards, looking down at Pokabu and signaling him with the head to move along.

He had to agree with the other trainer: it was getting dark, and it wasn't odd in the least, since they had been travelling from the other island to that one and across the forest for quite a few hours. So it was normal that night was falling 'so soon'.

While walking and looking for a good place to establish a temporary rest place, Abel's thoughts were focused on that one item Century held in his hands during the battle. He had managed to see it for a split second, and it presented an awful amount of information on the other Pokémon. It was definitely an improvement from his own way of registering information and images, even if he did prefer it that way.

"So..." He suddenly started talking. "I've never seen neither the Pokémon you caught nor the device you used to identify it." He had to be honest, though; his knowledge on other technology was rather... rudimentary.

After a quick walk, he spotted a clearing from the corner of the eye.

"Say, how about we stay there for the night? Pokabu here..." He paused to pick the Pokémon up, who remained just as apathetic as before. "...can probably a light a fire to keep whatever comes away."

Century had looked at Abel, who had just asked the question about the red pokedex in his pocket. "You don't have one?" Century asked. Abel shook his head.

"I'm sure that everyone got one at Mystic Island." Century paused. "Here, see mine." Century tossed over his red pokedex to Abel, who analyzed it in his hands. "It's pretty handy.. As for that pokemon I just caught, I don't exactly know what it was either.. Never seen it before. Just glad it's mine now, seems like an interesting little guy." Century lets out a slight chuckle. "What did you catch, anyway? I'm sure you got something good." Century let out a small chuckle as he looked towards Abel's Pokabu.

"Hopefully the little guy can light a fire so we can keep some bug pokemon away." Century says, looking skyward. "I'm done with this island already."

Meanwhile, Century's Caterpie was on the ground circling around Pokabu, who looked indifferent to Caterpie's presence. He awaited for words from Abel, as he adjusted his leather jacket.

Kerri heads deeper into the woods, confidently heading towards the Gym. "I vonder how many ozzers are blundering around lost or taking ze long vay around. Ze fools should have gone straight through ze center, like me." She smirks to herself, climbing over a fallen log. She pauses to pull some twigs out of her hair when something sharp slices across her cheek.

An angry Nincada lands in front of her, chittering rapidly. "Ah! You little bug! Honda! Prepare for battle!" Makuhita apppears, staggering slightly. "Ah, right! You're too veak to fight now! Get back! Go Inari!" Kerri recalls Makuhita, sending Vulpix out instead.

The Nincada spins around, scrabbling furiously at the dirt, sending a stream of particles into Vulpix's eyes. "Hah! Just a bit of sand! Inari, Ember!" Vulpix exhales a small burst of flame, which Nincada avoids by inches. It leaps forward, scratching with it's sharp foreleg claws.

Inari flinches away, but turns to where Nincada came from. "Use anozzer Ember! Kill it vith fire!" Vulpix shoots another burst of fire, singing the Nincada. "Hah! Direct hit!"

Nincada charges, latching onto Vulpix and draining a bit of blood. "Leech Life? A tiny pinprick! More Embers!" Vulpix breathes more fire, missing Nincada and scorching a nearby tree. Nincada rushes again, draining more blood. "Ah! You test my patience, insect! Inari, try a Quick Attack!" Vulpix rushes forward, slamming into Nincada.

It barely moves as the little fox collides with it's tough hide, and throws more sand in her eyes. "You must be joking! Fine! By fire be purged! EMBER!" Vulpix breathes more fire, missing Nincada and roasting some mushrooms. Nincada Hardens it's shell, almost laughing at Kerri. In fury, she throws a Pokeball at the small bug. The ball cracks as it hits Nincada's hard shell, and Nincada scratches Vulpix.

Kerri roars in fury, charging at Nincada. "Damn bug! Why are you so tough?" She kicks at it, knocking it back a step and hurting her foot. It responds by scratching at her, slicing through her pant leg. Vulpix charges forward protectively, breathing more Embers. The flames hit home, finally knocking out the powerful bug.

Kerri yells in victory, then slides to the ground, leaning against the log. "Heilige Hölle... Maybe ve took ze wrong path after all..." Vulpix lays down in Kerri's lap, exhausted. Kerri nods sharply, stroking Inari's head softly. "Good idea. Ve make camp here und rest."

 

[Cirrus]

day 2 - a posse ad esse

from being able to to doing so.

Shafts of sunlight filtered through the white silken curtains of the room; they shone on the chair that he was occupying lazily, warming his surroundings. He gained consciousness, blinked a little, and rubbed his eyes, yawning. He could hear the sounds of urban activity from outside his window, and he realized that it was, in fact, morning.

Whirling around into reality more comfortably and focusing his attention on his Pokemon, he noticed that they had fallen asleep on his bed (a place that he was evidently not occupying), and shrugged.

"Hagane." The Beldum opened its cyclopean eye, and gazed inquisitively at its trainer. He smiled a little at the claw-shaped Pokemon, and gestured with his hands. "We're going to Insect Island today. Danmaku, wake up." He paced closer to the bed and poked the Houndour's fur gently; the latter yawned a little, and opened its eyes. "We have a long day ahead of us, Ryokuu." Finally he ruffled the reptilian Grass-type Pokemon's leafy tail, causing it to awaken, and he nodded to it.

"Well, then. Everyone, shall we?" He gestured in the air in a slightly dreamy fashion using his right arm, then noticed that he was doing so and retracted the arm. "Ah, we should probably get breakfast first, should we not..."

Half an hour later, after daily ablutions were performed and a mass of food was hastily consumed by the quartet, they set off to the waterside; a dock was present there, and after a curt round of asking for directions for transportation to Insect Island, he was directed to a fisherman, who was sitting by himself on the edge of a wooden quay, fishing rod in hand.

"Good morning."

He greeted the fisherman, who grinned back cheerfully.

"Great weather for fishing, isn't it?"

He smiled a little, and shrugged.

"I wouldn't know; I'm neither an expert on the weather nor on the factors that affect fishing." He paused a little before continuing. "However, I am interested in receiving transportation to Insect Island. Would you be able to help?"

In response to this, the fisherman amiably shrugged. "I suppose I could. I'd like you to do me a favor, though; while you're there, can you deliver this letter to a friend for me? His home is very distinctive, and though I could just go there myself, I'd rather not wade through the Bug-filled forest. "

Kensuke chuckled a little, and assented. "Of course I can. That sounds like a fairly simple matter."

The fisherman smiled immediately, seemingly waiting for just this reply. "Alright then! That's settled. My friend's house is in the middle of the eastern part of the forest on the island; here's a map to guide you to it." He released a beam of crimson light from a Pokeball at his belt, and a gigantic whale appeared in the water. The fisherman shouted aloud a few commands, and they clambered aboard the whale, who lowered itself for that express purpose.

The rest of the journey was mostly uneventful; it was mostly idle chat between the fisherman and himself, and though there were occasional silvery shapes beneath the waves, they did not encounter anything abnormal. Along the way, Wailord blew several would-be opponents out of the way using its powerful Water Spout attack, so they were not delayed by very much, if at all, for most of the journey.

As he stepped onto the soft soil of Insect Island and waved a heartfelt goodbye to the fisherman (whose shadow was rapidly fading into the distance, he could not help but feel jubilant. The sting of the salty sea air, the golden shade of the sandbars, and the lushness of the forest in the distance... they all contributed to the atmosphere, an atmosphere of nature and peacefulness.

He began to walk slowly towards the forest, taking in the scenery as much as possible.

---

The interior of the forest was drastically different from the environment that surrounded the beach; not that he expected to be the exact same, but it was quite different. Leaves hung from branches, a canopy of green forming the ceiling in place of the sky. The humidity was also somewhat higher. There were Bug Catchers and rookie trainers roaming the woods. He paid no heed to his surroundings and pulled out the map that was given to him by the fisherman, following it faithfully along the forest path.

THUD.

He blinked, and looked downwards. Oops. It was a boy, about twelve years old, a shiny Pokeball at his belt, wearing a new-looking backpack; the mark of a new trainer.

"Ah... are you alright?" He was genuinely concerned. "That was my fault; I wasn't paying attention. Sorry."

The boy was momentarily stunned from the impact, but got up quickly, dusting himself and frowning. "Man! You distracted me and let that super-rare Bachura run away! I challenge you to a battle!"

He raised an eyebrow when he heard the boy's statement. "Isn't this rather sudden? I mean, you don't really have to battle me. It'd save a bit of time, in fact, if you didn't."

The boy was quite insistent however. "No! When two trainers' eyes meet, they must battle! It's an unspoken rule! There's no need for further talk; go, Slugma!"

Kensuke sighed, and shrugged. "Fine, then. " He turned on his laptop. "Limiter removal, OK! Inclination, OK! Network range updated! All clear! Go!" He went through a series of initialization screens, and was satisfied. "Come on! Ryokuu!" He withdrew a Pokeball from his belt holders, clicked the release button on it, and slid it into a rectangular case at the side of his laptop in one fluid motion. A beam of red materialized from the Pokeball into a green reptilian Pokemon - Tsutaaja.

"Haha! That's a Grass-type; Slugma can't possibly lose to a Grass-type!" The boy chuckled. "Ember, Slugma! Take that Tsutaaja down a notch!" In abeyance the magma snail breathed out a thin spiral of fire that shot at the Tsutaaja.

"Think again." He did not smile or frown or indeed express any discernible emotion, merely calmly analyzing the battlefield; but now it was time for him to act and he allowed himself to feel exuberated for a little. In an obviously well-practiced movement, he flicked the return switch on Tsutaaja's Pokeball and at the same time the release button on another Pokeball. "Ground stability, OK! Attack status, OK! All clear! Come on! Danmaku!" The fingers of his right hand clicked quickly across the keyboard of his laptop, which was miraculously somehow still being held by his unoccupied left hand. The Pokeball whose button had been pressed a second earlier released another beam of light to meet the spiraling fire - a pitch-black Houndour, smirking with anticipation. As the flames met the body of the Pokemon, they seemed to be literally absorbed as Houndour opened its mouth and took in a deep breath, sucking up all of the fire.

The boy was astounded. "Wh-what?! That's cheating! I was totally going to knock out your Tsutaaja!"

"It's not cheating. Why would I send out my Tsutaaja in the first place, if not to bait a Fire-type attack? By League rules, that move was perfectly legal. Houndour's Flash Fire ability allows it to be completely unaffected by Fire-type moves while boosting the power of its own Fire-type moves, and there you have it." He blinked, and rolled his eyes. "Anyway. Danmaku, Ember!" Houndour, hearing this, breathed out its own wreathe of fiery destruction at the Slugma. Even though its opponent was Fire-type as well, that did not mean it was guaranteed to allow the opponent to escape unscathed. In fact, as the flames dissipated from around Slugma, its body was seen to be covered in small scorch marks from the Ember attack.

The boy gasped, and shouted. "S-Slugma! Hang in there! Use Smog to smoke that Houndour out!" The snail complied, releasing a small blast of toxic air, but even though Houndour coughed a little in discomfort, it did not deal very much damage - nor did it poison Houndour, and so after a round he was perfectly fine. Two additional bursts of controlled incineration from Houndour - two uses of Ember - felled the enemy Slugma. Even though the magma-bodied snail Pokemon offered resistance in the form of a Smog attack, said attack was evaded handily by Danmaku.

"...Well. That's the battle, then." After a short pause, he added. "Thank you for the battle." He inclined his head slightly, then straightened and proceeded on the forest path, leaving the trainer of the Slugma slightly stunned and entirely indignant.

 

[D. Lawride]

Abel caught the item in his hand and studied it for a moment. It was such a light piece of technology, looking so fragile - but probably very solid to withstand whatever is thrown at it -and contained - or could contain - information about all Pokémon seen and caught...

"Seems like it's pretty handy!" He exclaimed, looking for his own device. "Well, if they did give one, then I probably skipped it. But anyways, I've used this device here for years now. It doesn't record information or anything, but it can link directly to a database and upload all the information and drawings I do."

He gave back the Pokédex and turned to Pokabu while continuing to speak:

"I caught a Paras; it was trying to play with Pokabu here, and he took it the wrong way. Ended up in a battle against it and... well, caught it!" He laughed a little at how Pokabu kept ignoring the Caterpie that walked around it.

The Pokémon finally rolled its eyes and walked past Abel, fuming on its own as he went for a couple of branches on the ground and exhaled a larger flare than before, lighting them on fire, turning to Century with its nose turned up in a smug pose.

"Ahah! Seems like we'll have a fire tonight!"

The Lost Island's League
Ike's Log, #5 – Renegade​

"C'mon Dunmer, fire another Nightsh-" yelled Ike, although he was cut off by an unforeseen attack.

A rivet of leaves, each changing colour by refracting the light, flew from behind Ike and smashed into the group on Beedrill. The attack wasn't hugely powerful, but it seemed to catch the swarm off guard and give Ike a chance to see who had arrived to the scene. Flicking his head around, he caught a glance of the other. All he managed to pick up was her long, black hair, and the fact she remained a little shorter than Ike was. She also carried a tiny Pokémon, which looked slightly like an egg, although he had never seen one before.
She paced up to Ike, narrowly avoiding another round of toxic darts. "Need help?" she asked, rather relaxed and cheerfully.

Ike grunted at the comment. No, he didn't need help. He was simply fighting a group Beedrill, a Bug-type, often regarded as one of the less effective types in almost all situations. The poison typing should have made it more troubling, but so far his Pokémon had not been affected by that specific status condition. As if on cue to the response of a new threat, they separated into two groups. The leader and a second moved to Ike's side, while two more separated to the side of the new trainer. Even if it were strange circumstances, this actually gave Ike an advantage.

Throwing a Pokéball into the air above his head, Ike sent out a second Pokémon. "Now, Watergun the smaller one!" he ordered, as the sphere exploded in a flurry of light, revealing the Clap-Pokémon which seemed eager to fight. "Dunmer, follow up with Nightshade."

"Sphe!" it screeched, as a funnel of water flew from the mouth of Atol, which was soon accompanied by a second blast of energy which was manipulated by Dunmer.

The leader saw this coming, and had the most practice against Dunmer. It dropped a few feet and then charged forward, slamming its stinger into the body of Atol. While the leader was lucky enough to avoid it, the other was not. A blast of both water and ghost type attack slammed into the creature, causing it to screech in pain, and be launched backwards a little. As Atol was stuck by the Furyattack, the Beedrill alternated between stingers, each time jabbing the Water/Ice type with all its strength.

"Atol, stall with Defensecurl." Ike yelled, as his Spheal curled into a ball, which seemed to take the edge off of the offense. "Now, Disable, and make it quick."

Dunmer took heed of the words, and launched a cyan ring towards the leader, who was wrecking havoc against the already injured Spheal, Atol. It struck the Beedrill, and tried its best to slam its stinger into the body of Atol, but was locked from the attack by Dunmer's attack. From realising its loss of attacks, it turned on Dunmer, launching a barrel of darts towards him. The ghost type leapt high, avoiding the attack, and had made a good move. The injured Beedrill which had been knocked down by the dual attack had managed to clamber up, only to be shot down by its allies attack.

Annoyed, it fluttered up to Ike's height, and flung itself against the leader. "Bzzt-bee!" it hissed, as the two Beedrill began to dual each other. "Drill-bzzt!" Ike grinned. He could just spend this time waiting for the Bug types to finish the other off, and then pick off the one who remained.

The leader slammed its body into its kin, and then fired a barrage of needles at its own species. This seemed to settle the argument, although Ike had a much better way to solve it. A faint flash from Dunmer and an agreed nod from Atol were led by a flurry of ice and energy, slamming into both the leader Beedrill and its ally. They were thrown down, and Ike chuckled at the attack. On the note of attacks, Ike was immediately brought back to the other who was providing 'help'. He didn't need it, but she seemed to be fending them off well.

Ike waited patiently to plan a second attack. The leader Beedrill pushed the other up onto its feet, and the two picked up another gust of wind ready to fight. "Atol, Watergun."
Another blast of water flew from Atol's mouth, which the leader Beedrill was planned for. It swung around the flurry of water, increasing the speed at which it moved to elegantly swirl around the attack and struck its stinger out to attack. Rather than slamming into the source of the attack, it corkscrewed and turned to the right and slammed a poison-tipped stinger into Dunmer, who took the attack without a realisation of what hit him. The other Beedrill launched a thin stream of web-like string at the Watergun. It was a makeshift defence, but it purely looked too injured to avoid it.

"Kull!"

"Bzzt-Bee!"

The two Pokémon yelled in unison, as they both fell to the floor. "Dammit'..." Ike grunted as he returned his Requiem Pokémon. He knew the ghost-type would fall sooner or later, and it didn't help him that that was even a possibility, but he would have to make do. It was just Atol versus the Beedrill leader. "Atol, barrel roll to the side and use Watergun!"

Atol nodded, and sidestepped a few poison darts, and then fired Watergun. A quick shot to the left meant the Beedrill leader dodge it successfully. Ike was beginning to get agitated by the speed of that Poison bee Pokémon, but it also meant he had a different idea for the creature's future. But for now it needed to be defeated, and there needed to be a plan. And then it hit him. If Atol couldn't hit the Beedrill, then he'd just have to let the Bug type come to him.

"Atol, use Defensecurl."Ike ordered, throwing his plan into action.

The Beedrill readied its stinger in order to fire another Poisonsting. They flew from his horn-like claw much like a swarm of their very own species. They smashed and shattered against the curled body of the Clap-Pokémon, each time wearing away some of his health. But the plan was to wait, and wait he would. The Beedrill soon became bored, and readied its other stinger to strike. Vibrating its wings and buzzing violently, it readied to smash itself against Atol. As it moved in closer, the next part of the plan flung into action.

"Now." Ike muttered, before clearing his throat. "Use Powdersnow!" he yelled, as Atol pulled himself out of his defensive position, ready to fire at point-blank range.

A heavy volt of ice, snow and sleet, which was shot at tremendous strength for such a small Pokémon, smashed into the furious Beedrill. It tried to hold its own against the attack, trying to deal one final blow. But it wasn't enough, as the arctic flurry fought against the momentum from the Bug-type, the Poison bee gave way, and was thrown into the sky, leaving only second before it hit the ground.

Ike knew this was time to finally begin what a trainer did best, as he threw his bag in front of him and then slipped his hand into the smallest pocket, pulling out a small, spherical device. "Go, Pokéball."

He threw the red and white sphere, which struck the falling Beedrill. It opened throwing out a scarlet light, which enveloped the Poison bee Pokémon, and dragged the foe inside it, leaving it defenceless. The ball dropped to the floor, and shook to the side. Once... twice... three times... All Ike had to do was to wait for one last click from the Pokéball, and it would be a catch.

 

[Ynfiniti8]

Won't be able to post tonight, sorry :(

And Nakuzami, the Shuckle fainted, why did you think it died?

 

[Nakuzami]

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

@Draginja - Any closer to fixin' those problems?

Congrats! Inari grew to Lv6!

@Cirrus - OK, I did say the deadline for ending day 2 was today, but i'll make it tommorow

Congrats! Ryokuu grew to Lv6!
Congrats! Danmaku grew to Lv6!

@Grifspark:

Congrats! Atol grew to Lv8!

@Century - Remember, your Caterpie is ready to evolve.

@Ynfinity8:

Won't be able to post tonight, sorry :(

And Nakuzami, the Shuckle fainted, why did you think it died?

OK. And I was joking. I 'thought' it died because it just...did. They stared at each other and, poof, dead. But, nevermind :P

@ALL: Our first encounter with the "heinous group" shall be at the God Tree, which will be around Day 6 or 7. I've thought about going with the name Team Midnight, if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to tell me. Their intentions will remain unknown, but i've been thinking about mixing past teams intentions:

-Creating "Dark" pokemon.
-Taking over the world.
-"Liberating" pokemon (from everyone except themselves)
Etcetra.

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

((OOC: @Ynfiniti8: I think he meant when the Shuckle seemed to suddenly faint. XD I say die as well when pokemon faint. Perhaps he doesn't watch the anime in which when two pokemon do two final moves against each other and stare at each other, suddenly one or both of the pokemon "die".))

Miharu grinned. Sure she had just battled beedrills some hours ago and sure battling beedrills was annoying, but she couldn't wait for Serena to gain some levels.

"Serena, try metronome."

Serena waggled her fingers again and suddenly, stone appeared surrounding her. The stones flew at the beedrill, hitting them causing them to screech in pain. Stone Edge.

The super effective move, as it was a bug and poison type, took it's toll, but wasn't enough to knock out the beedrill she was battling. Miharu glanced at the other trainer, seeing him trying to take down the other two at once. The leader was obviously in that battle. Miharu was kind of disappointed.

And I can't have fun battles? Tch.

The beedrill flew at Miharu at breakneck speed, it's stingers sharp. Miharu twisted from the attack and Serena had waggled her fingers before hand, without any commands, worrying for Miharu. Just as the beedrill flew by, Serena suddenly floated up at the sky before hitting the beedrill with tons of force, knocking it out. Fly.

Miharu raised an eyebrow, after all how could Togepi fly without wings crazy Metronome, before she picked up Serena who was chirping happily. "Nice job Serena. Very nice job."

She turned to see the other trainer throwing a pokeball at the leader beedrill and walked towards him, leaving the fainted beedrill behind. "Bug and Poison types are very handy, especially with the ice and ghost types that you have on you. Not many people use Beedrills either aside from Bug catchers. Although I see that you seem to be more of an one type specialist, ice perhaps?" commented Miharu while petting Serena who was chirping happily.

 

[Nakuzami]

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

@MichaelaTheUchiha - Did you just call me a girl, twice? And, yeah, i've seen that in the anime. It's just Ynfinity8 said "Until the Shuckle fainted." So sudden.

Congrats! Serena grew to Lv7!

@GrifSpark - Oh, almost forgot!

Congrats! Ike caught a Lv10 (M) Beedrill!

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

((OOC: (blinks before face palming) Sorry, I'm an idiot. I'm really an idiot. Don't mind me.

About the evil group thing, perhaps it should be something unique? What, I'm trying to figure out...

I've got it! They're trying to capture all of the pokemon in the world using undermining and dirty ways. xO And using those pokemon, they can take over the world. xD Unique + Not very unique = Eh.))

 

[Nakuzami]

_______________________________________________________________________________

Hmm...all the pokemon in the world seems a bit extreme, since, thanks to us, they'll never make it past the islands...Plus it just seems pretty out-there. Though...I haven't really got much more, maybe they want to destroy basically all life and start a new(though, that's kinda Team Galactic's thing =/)

 

[Charzeon]

As the sun rose above the trees and let its rays fall onto Sara's closed eyes. With a groan, Sara slowly lifed herself up from the sleeping bag she had slept in the night before and reached her hands high up into the air. After smacking her lips together she looked to the sides to see Sky curled up very close to her. Sara couldn't help but smile and gently petted the baby dragon, causing him to slowly open his eyes.

"Hey Sky, wanted to keep an eye on me overnight?" Sara said with a teasing tone to her voice. Sky quickly got up and had a deep blush on his cheeks. Sara laughed and patted the Dratini on the head, letting him know what everything was okay.

The trainer then got up and packed everything away, with the help of Sky. Once that was done, Sara continued walking down the path she was on, taking out a map of the island and looking at it.

"Okay, that sailor guy said that we would have to go to something called the God Tree and climb to the top to get to the Gym on this island," Sara said, then sighed. "Great, that sounds like its going to be tons of fun." Sara then turned to Sky and grinned. "Of course, if you could evolve, then we might be able to just fly up there."

Sky lowered his head ashamed, making Sara laugh and shake her head. "I was just kidding there, little guy. Trust me, take all the time you want when it comes to evolving."

Sky still didn't look to happy. Sara sighed and was about to say more to the dragon when two Butterfrees appeared and blocked their way. Sara sighed and reached into her pocket to pick up a Pokeball and throw it into the air, releasing Night.

"Alright guys, lets try to make this one quick," Sara said, a hand on her hip. "Sky, Thunder Wave the Butterfree to the left. Night, Scratch the one to the right. Arecus I do wish you guys had more moves..."

That little comment out of the way, both of her Pokemon moved to comply with her orders. Sky was once again able to paralyze the butterfly while Night scratched the butterfly she was told to attack. Both Butterfrees were still able to attack with their Confusion attacks, doing some damage to Sky but none to Night.

"Alright, Sky use another Thunder Wave on the other Butterfree. Night, Scratch the Butterfree to the left until it faints." Sara ordered.

Both Pokemon worked with Sara's orders. Sky was able to shut down the other Butterfree while Night went to work on the first Butterfree. Sky then rushed to the second butterfly and wrapped his long body around it and started to squeeze.

"Alright, you two keep doing what you're doing until they faint!" Sara said, and the dragon and cat did until the Butterfrees both fainted, though it took Sky longer then Night.

Sara smiled and nodded to her Pokemon, a quick congradulation on their efforts. However, she heard a rustling behind her. She turned around and saw two Pineco and two Weedles. Sara sighed deeply and reached into her pocket to pull out Claw's Pokeball, releasing him onto the field.

"Okay, first we need to take out the Weedles. The last thing I need is to have any of you poisoned. Also, Sky, watch out for Night, if any try to use a bug attack on her try to block it. Anyways, Sky use Thunder Wave on both Pineco, Night take out the Weedle to your left, Claw the Weedle to your right."

All three Pokemon nodded and rushed to follow the orders. Sky was able to use one of his Thunder Waves to get one Pineco, but the other one was able to dodge and rush in for a Bug Bite attack, causing Sky to cry out in pain. Night and Claw were both able to land their attacks. Claw's base power was enough that he was able to get rid of nearly all of the Weedle's attacks. He scratched the Weedle again and it fainted. Night saw this and, not wanting to be out done, Scratched her own Weedle a couple more times, making it faint as well.

"Alright, good going guys," Sara said, "great thinking. Now, Sky, try to Thunder Wave the Pineco you missed before. Night, help him out by Scratching at that Pineco. Claw, Scratch at the first Pineco."

Once again all of the Pokemon nodded. Claw was the first to rush in and slash at the bug type, doing considerable damage. Sky used another Thunder Wave. The Pineco was about to jump away again but Night rushed in and Scratched at the Pineco, knocking into the jolt of electricity.

"Okay, Claw keep doing what you're doing with the Pineco you're with," Sara ordered. "Sky, Night, you tag team on that Pineco. Sky use Leer, Night continue to use Scratch."

Claw grinned as he heard his orders, happy that he might have a chance to let loose. So he did. Slashing and clawing at the Pineco until grew limp. Meanwhile, Sky glared at the Pineco he was with, causing it to shiver in fright. Then Night ran in and scratch at it. Both Pokemon did their moves a couple more times before the Pineco fainted.

"Great job everyone," Sara said with a grin. "Okay, lets get going." With that, all four continued on their journey.

Yayz! I'll have to read them again so that I can understand them now =/

Adam waded his way through the muddy, wet and now, dark Insect Forest. It was getting late; he would have to find a dry flat place to camp soon. He checked his phone, it read 6:57. Nearly seven o'clock. He'd been in the forest for about an hour or two and hadn't seen one wild Pokémon; he hoped to find one to try Shark out on. He thought Bullet should be alright, but Kara wouldn't be, not after her battle. As he squelched through the mud some more, he saw some kind of hovering red thing. Ledyba! This was good news. It was time to test out Shark.

"OK Shark, let's do this" He tossed the pokeball into the air and out came the small, dark green dragon. "Kiba!" It yelled and then tried to hide inside itself once it'd realised what it had just done. That got the Ledyba's attention.

"Don't worry Shark. There's nothing to be afraid of" Shark just looked up at him in a way that reminded Adam that he was not the one doing the fighting here and it probably was quite frightening.

But he couldn't dwell on it for much longer, the Ledyba slammed into Shark with a tackle attack. Adam cursed; he had let his guard down. "Quick Shark, Scratch!" But the Kibago just stood there, staring at the Ledyba, petrified.

"Come on, Scratch!" Adam tried once more, but Shark still stayed there. Adam didn't know what was going on or why the dragon Pokémon looked extremely scared. He wasn't sure what was making him act like this, but Adam had a feeling it was his timid nature that was making him scared. Shark suddenly took another Tackle attack from the Ledyba, flinging him a few feet away from where he was standing originally.

Shark got up again, but also froze again. "Shark, come on! Scratch it!" Adam tried desperately to get his Pokémon to listen to him. Shark didn't listen, but instead just stood there shaking. Adam cursed again. Maybe it wasn't like this with all battles, maybe it was just with Ledyba, but Adam doubted it. The Ledyba started rushing towards him again. "Dodge it! Shark, dodge it!" But unfortunately, the Ledyba came smashing into him again.

Shark struggled to get up, but eventually did. Adam didn't know how, but all he cared about was that he did. The Ledyba came charging again, faster than ever. "Dodge!" Adam was losing the will to continue, but tried just one more time. He leaned down to Shark and said "Dodge, just dodge... please" The Kibago looked at him, then back at the Ledyba. He jumped.

Finally thought Adam. Just as the Ledyba was about to hit Shark, he jumped. If the Ledyba had made contact it would've all been over. Shark not only dodged, but also attacked. When the bug Pokémon was right under him he swung his arm down and scratched attacked it.

"That's it!" Adam said with joy. "Now, keep using Scratch!" Shark closed its eyes tightly and ran towards the Ledyba on the floor and scratched it as many times as it could before it started to get up. Sharked backed away from the slowly rising Ledyba and opened its eyes wide enough to see the Ledyba coming in for another tackle.

It was too close for a dodge, so Adam said the only thing he could; "Brace yourself!" Shark was way ahead of him and held a stick in front of his head. The Ledyba hit the stick and Shark stuck his free hand out to scratch it on the head. That scratch was all it took and the Ledyba practically collapsed on Shark. It had fainted.

Shark pushed the Ledyba off and yelled in joy; "Kibaaa!" Adam breathed a sigh of relief. "Good work Shark, have a rest" Adam returned him to his pokeball and checked the time. It read 7:10.

All of a sudden he heard a clapping sound. He turned around and saw a boy, maybe about 14, coming out of the bushes. "Congratulations on your battle!" The boy said enthusiastically.

"Uh... thanks... why were you watching me?" Adam looked at him in curiosity. He was dressed in a bright white t-shirt and blue shorts. He had a kind of dark blonde hair. "Well... uh... I was looking for a way to train my Machop and I stumbled across your battle and not wanting to interrupt you I... watched." The kid looked as if he was expecting to be told off.

"Oh, ok then. So you want a battle?" The kid looked up in shock "What? Really?" Adam looked at him honestly "Yeah. What's your name?" "Kane Murte" He replied quickly. Kane reached for his pokeball and threw out his Machop.

"Go Rusty!" The Machop stood there, looking at Adam intently and then looked up at his trainer. Adam would use Kara because of the advantage, but she was probably still tired, so he decided to use Bullet. "OK Bullet, here we go" Adam tossed the pokeball and the Treeko stood up and looked at the Machop. "You go first" Adam told Kane.

"Leer!" Was the word that came out of Kane's mouth. The Machop stared intently at Bullet. "Leer back!" Was Adam's command.

"Low Kick!" Machop followed its orders and ran up to Bullet fast. "Barrel roll behind and use Pound!" The Treecko only just got out of the way and swung its tail around to whack the Machop away.

"Ugh" Kane muttered. "Absorb" Adam said calmly Bullet's new move. Bullet sucked out energy from Rusty and gave it to himself. "Rusty, get up and use Low Kick!" Kane commanded. Rusty got up while Bullet was busy with Absorb. "Quick, dodge!" Adam yelled to Bullet, but even with his speed he got hit. Bullet flopped to the ground and Rusty ran up and kicked him again.

Bullet quickly got up relatively unharmed. "Run towards him using Absorb!" Bullet sprinted towards the fighting type, all the while sucking his energy. When he was close enough, Adam yelled "Use Pound!" Bullet ceased his absorption and whacked Rusty with his tail. Once again the Machop fell over. "Absorb" But before Bullet could do anything, Kane yelled "Dodge!"

Rusty quickly got out of the way and improvised with a Low Kick to Bullet's chest. "While he's close use Absorb!" Albeit in pain, the Treecko managed to pull off an Absorb. Rusty tried to run away, but still got attacked. He staggered and it looked like he was still up for a second, but then collapsed. Adam smiled. Kane sighed.

"Oh well. Thanks for a good battle" Kane said. "No problem" Adam replied. "Your Machop's strong" "So is your Treecko" They exchanged words for a minute or two before Kane headed off.

"Return Bullet" Adam said. He went off to look for a place to stay the night.

My posts are getting longer and longer.

And I have an idea for the team! They could want to start life on another world, so they kindap people and pokemon that'll be brought to this new planet. And they could have a top secret giant rocket-type-thing that they're building.

And as for the Shuckle thing, I did that for dramatic effect :D

@Yniniti8 - Eh...that's still a Team Galactic kind of thing, but I may be able to put 'em all together to get somethin' unique. And yeah, that Shuckle was very dramatic XD

Congrats! Bullet grew to Lv7!
Congrats! Shark grew to Lv6!

Century

Century had watched the fire shoot out of the nose of Pokabu, and merely crept slowly toward the fire, craving the warmth. He tucked his pokedex in the pocket and looked up towards the black sky, bright stars littered across the seas of black. He sat up, and looked at Abel's Pokabu, which looked uninterested as Caterpie circled around him some more. Eventually, Caterpie stopped, and stood away from Pokabu as a bright white light emitted from him. Century sat up confused, as it slowly transformed into a much bigger version.

"Meta...Podddddd..." The new pokemon speaks. Century immediately whips out his pokedex.

Metapod
The Cocoon Pokemon
A steel-hard shell protects its tender body. It quietly endures hardships while awaiting evolution.

Century eyed up his new Metapod with a wild look in his eye. It was the first time he had ever seen a pokemon evolve. He jumped up, and picked up his Metapod. He knew that this would be one of the greatest pokemon he would ever have the joy of holding, just some how.

He knew that he was going to use Caterpie, or Metapod, or whatever else may come to aid his journey. He looked at Abel, who looked back at him.

But, all of this had to come to an end. "I'm tired, I need to sleep." Century says solemnly, and puts down his Metapod to play with Abel's Pokabu as Century lays by the fire, slowly drifting to sleep.
