The Pokemon Adventure: Johto Region

[Zimvee]

To Pikalover10: Ok post. Just barely good enough for Zubat!
You caught a Male Level 2 Zubat!
To Konekodemon: I'm sorry you feel that way but imagine this rp is like high school. My kanto guys are like Seniors while you Johto guys are like freshmen. You have to work your way up. You can't expect it to be fair. I know you had a chance to join my Kanto rp and you didnt so...I also know you have a problem with how this rp works like how you get Items based on quality of posts. And there is no real plot to the rp and if were being honest here your character is more of the female choice from Crystal Version and Pokemon Special combined so you didnt really make up a character. True you threw your own stuff in but it was still the character from Special. I'll take your profile off of the OCC thread.

Chapter Four, Part 2: And the Winner is...

Silver looked at his fallen Totodile with anger. Why hadn't he seen that one coming? It always worked... Always! He had underestimated his opponent. Different and smarter tactics were needed if he wished to prevail here.

"Alright, Makesh, shake it off and hit it with a leer!" Silver shouted through the fog.

"Cyndar, do the same!" Zack ordered. Silver was taken by suprise. What would happen when two leers meet? An explosion? Would they both faint?

Nothing happened. The two Pokemon gave transfixing glares toward each other. Cyndar through his little slits of eyes, and Makesh through his buldging Crocodile-like ones. Silver relaxed a moment, and looked at Zack. They both were utterly confused. Both Pokemon continued their assault. There was no action. Silver then looked up at Zack who seemed slightly annoyed. They both ordered another leer, with more force this time. Again, nothing occured. Frustrated, Silver ordered another leer, as did Zack. When nothing happened again, Silver realized that this stare-down would be decided by which Pokemon cracked first. He dared not order another leer for fear that Makesh might slip up and loose. Zack, however did not have the same thought pattern. After a few minutes, Zack got fed up, and yelled out,

"This is getting us nowhere! Cyndar, ember!!" This was his mistake. As soon as the Cyndaquil broke it's glare, Makesh's leer broke through the walls of Cyndar's mind. Cyndar froze in it's tracks, petrified of Makesh's very powerful glare.

"Alright, Makesh, here is your chance!" Silver called out, "Hit it hard with your water gun!" Makesh stopped his leer, and almost immediatley gathered up some water, and fired a blast. The water hit Cyndar directly on it's chest, as it gave out a howling cry of pain. Silver smirked, and looked at Zack with his renewed feeling of superiority. If before he was angry, Zack was in an unspeakable fury right now.

"Crap! Cyndar!" Zack called out, as the weak Cyndaquil looked at it's master. "You have beaten a Totodile before, don't let this one stop you!" Though poorly delivered, Zack's speech ingited a fire (:laugh:) in Cyndaquil, and the fire mouse got up, flames shooting from it's back.

"That's good!" Silver said, "I don't like a pansy who gives up. Show me what you got, Cyndar."

"He will do more than that," said Zack, and evil smile now appearing on his face. "It's time for a more tactical approach. Cyndar! Hide in the fog!" Silver knew this was not a Pokemon move, but the Cyndaquil treated it like one. With great haste, the mouse fled into the foggy air surrounding the two trainers. Great, Silver thought. How am I going to attack what I cannot see? I will have to be smart too. So far, though, there was no sign of the Cyndaquil. Silver looked up at Zack, a cool confidence about his face.

"Now, Cyndar," Zack said, "Ember!" Silver could have seen this one coming, but was not prepared for it as a jet of flame appeared from the mist, and leaped onto Makesh's hide. A small portion of grass caught fire as well, but the grass seemed more hurt than Makesh. The Totodile looked at where the fire hit him, but appeared unphased. This suprised Silver as much as Zack, who began to stammer.

"Well, try it again, Cyndar! From behind this time!" And another jet of flame appeared, this time behind Makesh, and again igniting another small fire. Zack then ordered for Cyndar to scorch the grass to the left of Makesh, and then to the right. Silver did not miss this plan, and he realized the trap: Cyndar was trapping Makesh in a small wildfire.

"Oh no, you don't!" Silver yelled, "Makesh, use your water gun on the flames and put it out!" Makesh followed orders, and began to spray the ring of fire. Silver thought he had won, until he heard Zack's laugh.

"Thank, you, Makesh," Zack said, and then ordered, "Cyndar, tackle it!" Now this took Silver by suprise. Like lightning, Cyndar leaped from the fog, and delievered a powerful slam at Makesh. By the time the Totodile had stopped the water and turned around, it was already on it's back. "Again!" Zack ordered, and Cyndar turned around, and hit Makesh so hard, it sent him flying into the nearby lake. With a loud splash, Makesh fell into the pond, and sunk down towards the bottom. Silver rushed over to the lake, careful to aviod the fire, as Zack laughed a triumphant laugh.

"Well, where is your precious Totodile now? I wouldn't dare to find out," and continued laughing. Cyndar sat on its haunches and emitted a laugh-like sound as well.

As Silver stared at the water, hoping that Makesh would float back up, tears welled in his eyes. What if it had died? Would he ever be able to save it? Silver slammed his head against the grass, and sat still for a while.

"Come on, Cyndar," Zack ordered, taking out his Pokeball, "Let's go. Good fight Silver, but your Totodile just can't-" Zack was interrupted by the Totodile leaping out of the lake, cheeks filled to the brim with water. Silver looked up as he was splashed, and Makesh unleashed a large gush of water towards Cyndar. The Cyndaquil was too busy laughing to prepare for the attack, and the mega-water gun hit it on its firey back. The force of the blast was so powerful that it knocked Cyndar back into the foggy morning mist. Zack yelled a cry of suprise, and rushed to get his partner, who was now out of sight. Running towards Makesh, Silver grabbed his Pokemon in his arms, and held it tight. Words of praise poured out of Silver's mouth, and words of encouragement came from Zack's. Silver then walked over in the fog, trying to locate Zack's choked up voice. Once he had found him, Silver extended a hand to his foe, who was holding his unconcious Cyndaquil in his arms. Zack looked up, face slightly red, and grabbed Silver's hand.

"Hey, man, that was a great battle!" Silver said to Zack, with a beaming grin on his face.

Zack got a hold of himself, and replied, "Thanks man, you too. Even though I lost, I learned alot. Don't assume your opponent is down unless you see him down!" A small laugh came from both Silver and Zack. After a small silence, Silver said,

"So, what now?"

"Well..." Zack said returning Cyndar to its Pokeball, "Ryan said something about a cave up ahead on the path."

"Sounds good to me," Silver replied, and they both resumed their trek on the route, both wiser men.

[~SilverSoul]

"Dark Cave, eh? Sounds exciting…"

Gold was facing a dark, black entrance to a tunnel with a pokemon on each side of him. He looked around and groaned. There was no way to the first city, Violet City, unless he went this stupid thing. It really wasn't fair…

"Guys, I've had some bad experience with caves," Gold moaned. "Enjoy your first trip…"

Both of his cute pokemon looked at him wide-eyed and afraid and then turned their attention towards the cave. They both squealed and leaped behind Gold. Gold gasped and got on his knees quickly.

"Guys, guys, I'm sorry! Caves are dark and scary, but we'll be together, right?"

Gold gulped as he waited for his pokemons' thoughts. Soon, they both sighed and grabbed onto Gold. He smiled with glee. Standing up, he dug through his bag and pulled out a small camp lantern, holding it in the air for his pokemon to see.

"Look, we'll use this to see our way through the cave," Gold explained. He then reached down and grabbed both Magby's hands, placing one on the bottom of his pants and the other on Poliwag's tail. "If I feel the tug go away from the bottom of these, then I know that you let go. Okay, Magby?"

Magby looked at the ground for a moment before nodding slowly. Gold took a deep breath and took his first step into the cave.

"We will not get separated."

……………………..

It was a while since the trio made their first entrance into the cave. Gold's hand shook from holding the light up too long, and he felt the bottom of his pants quiver. Magby was afraid and shaking.

"Look, guys, I said I had some bad experiences in caves. First I got chased by a stampede of Team Rocket pokemon, and the second time this guy caused an avalanche of rocks……it almost killed me."

Stupid thing to say. Both of his pokemon cried out and Gold felt Magby's grip fall from his clothes. Gold flipped the light around and saw then both sitting on the ground, shaking.

What wussies. "Look, it was the past. Don't be so afraid. You both are extremely powerful pokemon. We can tackle a dark cave!"
Gold shouted with determination.

He bent over and picked up both of his pokemon, placing them on their feet. He was ready to walk until he heard something. Voices.

Gold quickly stopped at the corner, and stopped Magby who was almost ready to turn it.

"Stop!" he hissed quietly. Gold peeked over the corner to see just who these people were.

A large lantern was sitting on the ground, and two people were in the center of the light. They were both wearing identical clothes- black outfits with a hood on them. A symbol was on the front. The symbol of—Gold couldn't believe it.

They were Collectors.

"Damn! Why isn't that stupid pokemon back yet!" shouted one of the men. He stamped his foot hard on the ground.

"Hmph, I told you that stupid thing is worthless. Just because it's shiny doesn't make it powerful," snapped the other member. It was the voice of a female.

"Well, that Golbat is stronger than any newbie trying to cross this cave," the male explained. "It will wipe out any trainer trying to cross!" The man chuckled at the thought. Suddenly, Gold heard a smack! The female had hit him across the face.

"That's the whole point, you idiot! Why are we trying to steal pokemon from beginner trainers? They're useless! What're you going to tell the boss when we don't come back with anything worthwhile?"

There was a pause of silence in the cave. Gold heard the male take in a breath and the light shook as he picked up the lantern. "I guess we should move on then. Maybe Golbat will find us……"

"Forget that stupid thing! Let it wander around the cave!" the female shouted.

That was that. They were gone, leaving Gold at the corner to hear every word they said. They were still stealing pokemon from trainers and adding them to their "collection." He couldn't believe they had made it to Johto where he was.

"C'mon, guys," Gold mumbled. They stood up and continued their journey through the cave. Gold was going to worry about these guys later after they were to safety. But was even that safe anymore?

Gold's thoughts were suddenly interrupted as he made his way through the cave. He heard a sudden Whoosh! And had to stop abruptly to dive on the ground, dragging his pokemon to the ground with him. He held them both tight and looked up. The creature was whooshing down again, causing Gold to roll to the side to dodge. He finally looked up to see the attacker. It was the Golbat.

"It will wipe out any trainer trying to cross!"

[Wolfwhispers]

OOC: Hey, I noticed Konekodemon is out. Can I steal her pokemon or perhaps not save her from her death and then have her pokemon join my team? Pretty please> ^_^

Jade carefully walked through the Dark Cave, using a makeshift torch she and Larvitar had made before entering the cave. "Do you see anything?" she asked to the ground type.

Larvitar sniffed the ground before peering into the darkness. "Larv!" it called out, demanding a challenge.

For a moment there was silence, but then a single pokemon came out a bit hesitently, but straightened up when it prepared itself. "Dunsparce," it growled, straightening its yellow body. Its tiny wings fluttered for a moment before it charged, slit eyes glowing red with its Rage attack.

"Use Bite!" Jade barked out quickly.

"Vart!" Larvitar growled, charging. Mouth wide open, it bit down deeply into Dunsparce's soft hide.

"Dun!" it squealed in pain, trying to get away. "Sparce!" it snarled, bashing Larvitar with its tail, finishing off its Rage attack.

"Get back," Jade warned. "Don't get hurt when you can avoid it." Larvitar nodded. "Now use Sandstorm!"

"Var!" With a loud snarl, sand erupted all around them, covering the area.

"Dun," Dunsparce said, rushing at Larvitar and proceeding to beat it about with its large head and tail.

"Larv, larv, larv," Larvitar grunted, taking the attack before jumping away with a shake of its head.

"Dun," Dunsparce winced as the sand around it beat against it relentlessly, allowing Larvitar to get away.

"Alright, Larvitar," Jade said with a grin. "Let's try your Screech attack!"

Larvitar grinned and opened its mouth. "LAAAARV!" he screamed, startling both Jade and Dunsparce.

"Duuuun!" Dunsparce screamed, shaking its head in desperation to rid itself of the horrible sound.

Jade covered her ears and shut her eyes. "Larvitar! For the love of Mew, STOP!"

"AAaaarv..." Larvitar trailed off. It looked around before rubbing the back of its head sheepishly. "Larv," it said apologetically.

"It's al... get out of the way!"

"Lar? Var!" Larvitar screamed, getting bashed from Dunsparce as it once again tried to bash the ground type in the ground. "Larv," Larvitar growled, taking the unrelenting attack. The bug like pokemon only stopped as the force of the Sandstorm hurt its hide.

Jade winced in sympathy. "Alright, forget Screech. Let's try your Bite attack again."

Larvitar nodded in agreement and charged, latching onto Dunsparce, It flailed about, screaming as Larvitar applied pressure. "Tar," Larvitar spat throwing its opponent away.

Dunsparce bounced a few times before steadying itself, shaking slightly from the pain. "Dun!" it screeched as the Sandstorm hit it once more, adding even more agitation to the wounds, before disappearing. The Sandstorm had done its job.

"Wow, that looked like it had done much more damage than before," Jade muttered before remembering that Screech helps lower the defense of a pokemon. "Alright, let's have another Bite!"

"Larv!" Larvitar shouted, charging.

"Dun!" Dunsparce snarled, charging as well, slit eyes glowing.

They both leapt, Dunsparce hitting Larvitar in the gut first, but as it retreated backwards, Larvitar once again latched onto Dunsparce, this time getting it down in the wings.

If Dunsparce's screams had been loud before, they were nothing compared to now. Dunsparce was screaming bloody murder as it wrenched its hurt wings away. Apparently it was a sensitive spot.

"Dunsap!" it yelled angrily, bashing Larvitar repeatedly with as much force as possible.

"Larv," Larvitar growled lowly, taking the attack with closed eyes.

"Don't give in!" Jade said encouragingly. "Use Bite!"

"Vatar!" Larvitar snarled, finally breaking free of Dunsparce. With a burst of speed, Larvitar bit down, once more getting a scream from the pokemon. Raising his head, Larvitar slammed Dunsaprce into a rock with its mouth, only allowing its opponent to go free after it had stopped moving.

"Duun," Dunsparce said quietly, going limp on the ground.

"Larv!" Larvitar stomped the ground in victory, throwing a grin at Jade.

Jade flashed him a thumbs up. "Nicely done, buddy. Nicely done. But I think we're going to need to work on that Screech attack."

"Larv," Larvitar said sheepishly, rubbing the back of its head in embarrassment.

And with a final shake, the ball pinged. The Ledyba had been succesfully caught! Ashton walked over to the Pokeball and held it in his hands for a few moments. He was ecstatic about his first capture. His thinking was interrupted by Grey.

"Good job, man!" Grey said, then saying with a chuckle, "Did you notice I was gone?"

"Thanks!" Ashton said with a huge smile spreading across his face. "Wait." He then said with a puzzled look replacing the happy one. "You..were gone?" Ashton let out a small chuckle at the fact that he was to enveloped in his own battle to notice Grey's momentary departure.

"Hey Mala, how's about we get to know our new teammate?" Ashton asked his Togepi who replied with an eager "Gepi!". Ashton allowed the Pokeball to open, calling out the red bug Pokemon from before. The Ledyba looked around, still somewhat shocked from the capture.

"Hey there!" Ashton called out while trying to pet the Ledyba. The Pokemon flew a few feet away from Ashton in fear. "Oh come on! I'm not going to hurt you!" Ashton pleaded to the Ledyba as he pulled one of the berries from before out of his backpack. The Ledyba crept slowly towards the berry. She slowly took it from Ashton's hands and nibbled on it. It must've been pretty good, because a grin spread on the Ledyba's face as she rejoiced with a happy cry. "See? I'm you friend!" Ashton said as he petted the Ledyba successfully this time. "I think we'll be good friends...Kalli" Ashton said as he figured out the name for his new Pokemon.

"Well, let's head off into the rest of the route, shall we?" Ashton said to Grey with a pump of his fist. He picked up Mala and allowed Kalli to fly behind him as he started walking north to the end of the route.

It wasn't to much longer before the duo's journey was interuppted by a teenage trainer. the boy was dressed in black clothing from head to toe. He was followed by two very strong looking Pokemon. The boy pointed to Ashton and Grey as he began to speak.

"You two. I wan't your Pokemon." He said with a gruff tone. "Battle me for them. NOW." The mysterious boy snapped his fingers and the two Pokemon behind him jumped to the front, ready for battle.

"What the heck are you talking about?!" Ashton said in dismay. "I'll give you your battle, but there is no way your getting either of our Pokemon!" With the agreement to the battle, Ashton pulled out his Pokedex for some information on the Pokemon they would be up against.

__________

Charmeleon- The Flame Pokemon
If it becomes agitated during battle, it spouts intense flames, incinerating its surroundings.

Scyther- The Mantis Pokemnon
It's very proud of its speed. It moves so fast that its opponent does not even know what knocked it down.​

_________​

"Charmeleon, go after the runt with the Togepi and Ledyba. Scyther, your prey is the one with the Mareep and Hoppip." The boy said with an evil snicker. The two Pokemon obeyed and proceeded to their enemy.​

Ashton let out a gulp as the ruby red Pokemon approached him with flames in it's eyes. "Meleon..." The Pokemon said with an evil tone. And then, without any command from it's owner, it let out an Ember attack on Mala and Kalli. The two Pokemon were caught off gaurd, and took a huge blow from the fire attack.​

"Oh no..This Pokemon is incredibly strong." Ashton said as a few droplets of sweat fell down his face. "Mala! Use Charm to distract the Charmeleon while Ledyba goes in for a tackle!" Ashton said confidently. Mala waddled over to the Charmeleon and proceeded to Charm it. The move proved futile though, as the Charmeleon swatted Mala away like it was nothing. Kalli had proved successful though; Mala managed to distract the Charmelelon long enough for Kalli to land a solid Tackle onto it. The Charmeleon stumbled back a bit then rose to it's feet again. It was enraged now. Flames flickered from it's mouth as it glared at Mala and Kalli. Again without any command, it let out a Smokescreen that surrounded the three Pokemon. Ashton tried his hardest to find his Pokemon, but it was hopeless. He had to try something though, so he called out to his Pokemon, "Kalli, into the air! Mala, use Metronome!"​

The Ledyba rose through the smoke and hovered in the air. Through the smoke, you could barely see the flash of Mala's Metronome. The smoke cleared moments later and revealed the two Pokemon who were now standing side-by-side. But there was something different...There was no Togepi there. It was two Charmeleons standing side by side.​

"Mala must've used Transform.." Ashton said as he bit his lip. "Great. Now I can't tell who's who..." While Ashton pondered what to do, the two Charmeleons grabbed each others hands and locked into combat. The two had equal strength and neither budged an inch. Kalli remained in the air with a confused, and worried, look on her face. She had no clue who to attack, so she just waited.​

"Heh, I have an idea." Ashton said as he watched the Charmeleons still locked into their combat. "Mala, whichever one you are, use Ember!" Ashton called out. One of the Charmeleon's nodded it's head and let loose a fury of fire into the other Charmeleon's face. It had worked just as Ashton had planned it. The real Charmeleon stumbled back, clutching it's face. Kalli now knew which one was the real Charmeleon and seized the opprotunity for an attack. She charged toward the foe at full force for a Tackle attack. The Charmeleon was hit dead on. It was driven ito the ground and slid a few feet from the impact. It tried it's hardest to get up, but to no avail. The Charmeleon fainted on the spot.​

Mala changed back into her regular Togepi form and returned to Ashton along with Kalli. "That was...Amazing!" Ashton said as he hugged the two Pokemon. "Now I wonder how Grey is doing handling that Scyther.." He said as he turned to watch Grey's battle.​

Chapter 4: Route 30



"Good job, man!" Grey said, then saying with a chuckle, "Did you notice I was gone?"

"Thanks!" Ashton said, a huge smile wrapping around his face, then, "Wait. You… were gone?" Now Ashton looked confused, then a little embarrassed. After all of these facial expressions, Ashton laughed, apparently amused that he hadn't noticed Grey's disappearance.
"Hey Mala," Ashton then said, bending down to talk to his Togepi, "How's about we get to know our new teammate?"
The Togepi then yelled out with a loud for its size, "Gepi!" Grey could tell that the small Togepi was eager to say hi to its new teammate. Ashton then let his PokeBall open, allowing a small, scarlet bug Pokemon appear. The confused Ledyba looked around, still a little shocked from the recent capture.

"Hey there!" Ashton said, getting acquaintance with his new Pokemon by reaching out to pet it. The Pokemon then flew from its' new owner, apparently afraid. "Oh come on! I'm not going to hurt you!" Ashton said, trying to bribe the Ledyba into coming to him with a berry. The Ledyba slowly started making its way towards the berry. Slowly, she took the berry from Ashton's hands and took a few bites. Then, the Pokemon looked surprised, like it thought the berry was going to be disgusting but turned out great. "See?" Ashton then said, "I'm you friend!" Then Ashton reached out once again and succeeded to pet his newly acquired friend. "I think we'll be good friends...Kalli" Ashton said, pausing to give a name for his new Pokemon.

"Well, let's head off into the rest of the route, shall we?" Ashton asked Grey.
"Yeah, lets get out of here," Grey replied as Ashton picked up Mala and allowed Kalli to fly behind him. The two started walking north, to leave the route and end up in the DarkCave.

Soon, the two's quiet journey was abruptly interrupted by a menacing teenage boy, dressed in black clothing from head to toe. The teen was followed by two strong, but scared, looking Pokemon.
Pointing, the thug said, "You two. I wan't your Pokemon. Battle me for them. Now," Then the thug snapped his large and grubby fingers as his tough-looking Pokemon jumped up from behind him. The Pokemon assumed a battling stance.

"What the heck are you talking about?!" Ashton said, "I'll give you your battle, but there is no way your getting either of our Pokemon!"
"You will never get a hold of our Pokemon! I don't care how grungy or scary you think you look!" Grey chimed in, then noticed how angry the guy looked. Grey wished that he had kept his mouth shut.
Ashton had his PokeDex already pulled out, gathering information about the Pokemon that they were about to face.

_________

Charmeleon- The Flame Pokemon
If it becomes agitated during battle, it spouts intense flames, incinerating its surroundings.

Scyther- The Mantis Pokemnon
It's very proud of its speed. It moves so fast that its opponent does not even know what knocked it down.​

_________

"Charmeleon, go after the runt with the Togepi and Ledyba. Scyther, your prey is the one with the Mareep and Hoppip." The boy said with a menacing laugh.

The emerald green Pokemon advanced, ready to whoop Grey's Snow and De. "Scy!" The Pokemon said, with a snake-like voice. Then the Pokemon said, "Scyther! Scythe!" as it menacingly slashed its' scythes at an incredible speed. Then the Pokemon started advancing.

"Okay Scyther, work you're magic! Focus energy!" The Pokemon then stood still in its tracks as it gathered its energy from some unknown source.

"Snow! Tackle! De, splash!" The Mareep rammed the Scyther that was silently focusing its' power. The Pokemon was caught off-guard, and its' focus energy attack was cut short. In the midst of all of this, De was splashing around, not affecting the opponent. Grey sighed, wishing that De had a little more power.

"Hehehe," the thug laughed, "What a useless Pokemon! You can keep it after I whip your butt!"

"Shut up!" Grey yelled, praying that the thug didn't hear him. "Okay, Snow. Give it another tackle, and De, you can heal Snow using synthesis."

"Not so fast, big boy!" the thug said, "Scyther hit 'em hard! Use false swipe! On that weak Hoppip!" The Pokemon rammed up and swiped De with its' sharp scythes, leaving De with only a small bit of help.

Obeying orders, the Hoppip didn't heal itself, but healed Snow. After Snow was back to full health, it tackled the Scyther. The Scyther was now mad, outraged, even. It then let out an attack with no warning. It flew into the air with its off-white wings and tried to slash De, again. De was surprisingly able to dodge the fatal attack.

"Way to go De!" Grey exclaimed, overcome with joy, "Okay. De, heal yourself while Snow tackles."

The two went through the motions once again. De gathered healing energy and soon looked as good as new. De once again charged the Scyther, and blew the tired Pokemon off the ground. Grey could tell that the Scyther was getting tired quicker and quicker; not only because Snow was slowly withering down its' health, but because it was using high energy attacks.

"Okay Scyther. Kill this wimp, now!" The thug once again yelled, making his Scyther work even harder. The Syther flew up into the air and helplessly beat its' wings. The attack, wing attack, didn't have much affect, because the Pokemon wasn't exactly using the move to the moves' full power.

"Snow, give it one more tackle. I don't want to put this Pokemon into more misery that it is already in."

Snow, for a final time charged at the weak Pokemon. With one last hit, the Pokemon went down.

"Oh, you dumb Scyther! I'd get rid of you if you weren't my only other Pokemon!" the thug yelled as he returned the Scyther to its PokeBall.

A tear made its way down Grey's face. This thug was going to release the Scyther, for no reason, whatsoever.

 

[~SilverSoul]

(I'll be flexible with how the Collectors temporarily got ahold of it once I know Golbat's story)

"Magby, use smog to cover us up!"

Gold quickly stood up, pulling both of his pokemon to their feet as well as Magby shrouded the field in purple clouds. He had the ultimate plan to escape this thing and it didn't involve a battle with a crazy shiny pokemon. Gold suddenly heard a crash as Golbat had slammed itself into a wall in confusion.

"C'mon, guys, we're not going to fight. Let's just get out of here!" Gold shouted. He quickly scooped up Poliwag because of his inability to run and left Magby to run behind him.

Gold suddenly heard a whoosh through the air. Golbat had found them once more and continued the hunt of Gold. What a crazy pokemon!

"Magby, ember!" Gold shouted.

Magby twisted itself backwards and spit fire at the rabid green pokemon, causing it to slightly crash into the wall again before continuing the chase.

Gold's light suddenly hit a corner just nearby. He looked back for a moment at the Golbat and then back at the sharp turn. Maybe he could lose the pokemon if he just hit the corner right…

"Hang on, Poliwag," Gold mumbled as he dug his shoe in the soft cave floor and sharply changed directions. He grinned with satisfaction, knowing that Golbat was lost in the cave once more.

Whoosh!

Gold cursed under his breath when he heard the unwelcome noise. The chase continued…

"Magby, ember again!" Gold commanded.

But nothing happened. Gold turned around to see what the heck was holding his pokemon back to repelling the crazy Golbat, and he soon found the answer. There was no Magby to shoot fire.

Gold must've lost Magby at the turn. How stupid could he get! This meant he had absolutely no protection from this attacking creature. He was hit with even more fear. Magby was wandering around the Dark Cave all alone.

Gold suddenly felt something hard thud into the back of his head, sending him flying towards the floor. The Golbat had caught up and slammed him good. Gold hung on tight to Poliwag, making sure to cushion him from danger. He felt his back hit the ground hard and Poliwag loosened himself from Gold's grip and leaped to the side.

Gold sat up and felt defeated as he rubbed his thumping head. Poliwag, there's no way we can run away from this thing. We have to fight."

Poliwag looked at him shocked and took a step backwards. Both of them had to avoid another diving attack from Golbat.

"Look, I already know how to beat this thing without any physical attacks. Just trust me, okay?" Gold pleaded. Poliwag didn't have time to think. He leaped out in front of Gold, serving himself as protection between him and the Golbat.

"Alright, Poliwag, just wait for it to dive in a little," Gold ordered. Poliwag nodded and stood firm as Gold held up the light a little more in order to see more of the space.

Golbat dived once more, right at the miniature water pokemon. Gold sucked in some breath from fear and held his hand up. "Poliwag, spray some water on it to veer it off course!"

Poliwag quickly did a water sport, spraying a fine mist of water straight at the flying pokemon. It hit it directly in the face, making the charging pokemon shake its head like crazy and sway to the side. It crashed into the wall, just like some of the other times before.

This pokemon is more powerful than mine. I'll just its power against it, Gold thought. There was no other way to beat it.

Golbat suddenly flew at Poliwag again and slammed into it hard. Crying in pain, Poliwag flew in the air and hit the wall to copy Golbat's previous disaster. This thing was incredibly fast. Gold looked forward in shock.

"Poliwag!" he shouted.

That was all Gold had time to say. Before he knew it, Golbat was charging again, and Poliwag was still slung down on the wall. Gold looked in fear at his pint-sized pokemon. He was too low-leveled to take another hit at all from Golbat.

Poliwag suddenly became alert again and quickly dove to the side. Golbat crashed into the wall again, this time making rocks fly everywhere in all directions. It appeared to be stuck in the pile of broken rocks.

"Poliwag, just worry about dodging! Golbat has no control!" Gold shouted.

Golbat charged again and Poliwag leaped to the side. Golbat, once again, charged into the wall. Gold swore that the pokemon sounded like a bulldozer every time it slammed its body into the cave wall.

"Poliwag, its working! We're gonna win this!" Gold shouted with joy.

Golbat's eyes glistened with pure evil. Landing on the ground, the Golbat looked directly at Poliwag and spread out its wings. It swung one of them to hit one of the many rocks. It smacked Poliwag directly in the middle and sent it soaring to the ground. Then Golbat did its usual charging attack straight at the fallen pokemon. It was ready to finish off Poliwag.

"No!" Gold shouted. He dove to the ground, directly over Poliwag's body as the Golbat came closer and closer. Gold held his pokemon tight and waited for the final hit.

Suddenly, a burst of fire came out of nowhere and hit Golbat. The attack was so powerful that it hit the flying pokemon directly into the wall with a tremendous amount of force that Gold couldn't describe. Golbat slid on the ground, defeated.

Magby stood a little distance away with a look of triumph of his face. Gold grinned and stood up, pulling a pokeball from his belt. He faced the fallen pokemon and held the ball up, ready to throw it, and then slowly put it back.

"I don't feel I should catch this pokemon. It just doesn't feel right," Gold mumbled. He picked up Poliwag and motioned for Magby. "C'mon, we're outta here."

The three made their way out of the cave at last after the crazy adventure.

(ooc: not my best post ever. But I guess it is okay…)

 

[Pikalover10]

Max continued to search the dark cave for the Golbat. He had caught the Zubat, but he knew he had just barely caught it. He looked at the Pokeball in his right hand containing the Zubat and then he looked up at Scout, who was sitting on his head.

Suddenly, there was an ever louder screech from something ahead of him, louder then Zubat's. Then, a huge green bat flew out of the shadows and slammed in to Max, knocking him to the ground and almost causing him to drop the lantern. Max quickly sat up and saw that it was the Golbat he had been searching for.

The Golbat came in for another dive, and this time it snapped its jaws shut, and flew off with the lantern.

"Hey! Give me back my lantern!" Max shouted.

He dashed off into the darkness, not thinking about anything and left Scout behind. Scout tried to catch up to her trainer, but he was to fast for her.

"Sen." Scout wearily cried quietly.

She turned around and walked back to the original place she had been left at and felt around the place. Soon, she found an item and felt a switch. She turned it on and light illuminated from it. It was Max's flashlight! It must have fallen out of his pocket when he fell.

She wrapped her tail around it and dashed off to where Max had gone with her tail above her head.

---

Max kept jumping, trying to get his lantern from the Golbat.

"Come on! Fly lower! Eventually you'll get to tired to fly that high! I know this because I had a Golbat too, and she could never fly that high for a long time!" Max shouted at it.

The Golbat ignored his comment and started to fly even quicker. As it flew further past Max, it kicked his head and took a very far lead. Max grunted and began to pick up speed as well. Then, he realized Scout hadn't tried to grab the flashlight. As he ran he put his right hand on top of his head and only felt his hat.

"Oh my! I left Scout behind! I can't go back though, I have to get the lantern or else I'll be wandering around in the darkness. Scout, be careful." Max said as he tried to think of a way that he could go back for Scout and not be wandering around in the darkness. "I got it! My flashlight."

Max put his hands in his pockets, still running, and then smacked his head with his hand. His flashlight was gone.

"Great." he mummbled "Now I have to get the lantern first."

---

Scout felt it. She was catching up to Max a little. She knew he wasn't right in front of her, but she knew she was closer then what she had been. Then, she tripped over a medium-sized rock and dropped the flashlight, sending it rolling across the cave floor. It got switched off somehow and now she was lyiening on the ground, in the darkness.

She slowly raised herself to her feet and felt around for the flashlight. She found it and picked it up as a Zubat flew in to her face. She was caught off guard and accidentaly threw the flashlight in to a huge hole in the ground, while trying to scare away the Zubat.

She ran to the hole after scaring the Zubat away and tried to see it, but it was too dark and she didn't want to take the chance that the hole might be deeper then what she thought it might be.

"Sennnn." Scout moaned.

She laid down on a flat rock and waited to see if her trainer was coming to get her or not.

---

Max stopped leaping and grabbed Zubat's Pokeball. He thought that if his Zubat distracted the Golbat he could get the lantern, return Zubat, go find Scout, and then come find the Golbat again and beat it.

"Go Zubat!" he said.

In a blinding white flash, out popped Zubat. Zubat flew up to the Golbat and bit its leg, causing it to spin around and find out what had bitten his leg was. The two began to fly back and forth trying to bite each other. Max quietly snuck up and then leapt, and reached for the lantern.

He grabbed it and Zubat bit down on the Golbat's wing, causing it to spit the lantern out. Max quickly returned Zubat, put the Pokeball on his belt, and dashed away back the way he had come. He hoped that Scout was still okay.

---

Max dashed through the dark, dimly lit cavern. He now understood why it was called Dark Cave. He then heard a quiet cry from something. He pointed his lantern towards where he heard the sound and saw a brown ball curled up. It was Scout!

"Scout!" Max cried in joy.

"Sen!" Scout said looking up and jumping in to his arms.

Max laughed with joy and sat Scout on top of his head. He was glad Scout was back, safe and sound, with him. He turned around, back the way he had come so that he could fight the Golbat off. He couldn't stand how mean that Golbat had been, and wondered if it had actually hurt anyone who had been passing by before him. He gritted his teeth together, clenched his fists and then dashed of in the direction towards the Golbat.

---

It wasn't that hard to find the Golbat. He had heard the screeches a few twenty meters before he actually saw it. Scout had leapt off of his head and was now staring straight at the Golbat. Max stared at the bigger bat with total concentration. We can do this. I know we can. He kept thinking. Finally he started off the battle.

"Scout use Quick Attack!" Max commanded.

Scout drew in a quick breath of air and quickly sped off towards the bat. The bat shot out supersonic rings of yellow light straight at Scout. She twisted and jumped, trying to avoid the rings, but one hit her and sent her head spinning. Max clenched his teeth trying to figure out something that would help. He looked everywhere and then looked down in his right hand, he was still holding the lantern. He gulped, hoping that what he was thinking about would work, held up the lantern, and cranked it to be a lot brighter.

The cave was suddenly illuminated in bright light, or atleast the area they were at. Scout regained focus and quickly sped away from the bat as it cringed at the light. Max quickly cranked the light back down and knelt down beside Scout.

"Stay here for a few minutes ok? I want Zubat in on this too." Max said reaching for his other Pokeball "Go, Zubat!"

He threw the Pokeball in to the air and in a blinding white flash out popped Max's barely caught Zubat. The Golbat cringed at the light that illuminated form the Pokeball and then looked at Zubat with furry.

"Uh oh. Zubat quickly use Leech Life!" Max said quickly.

Zubat flew about the cave in miniature circles, being able to know exactly where the Golbat was with its supersonic hearing, and the Golbat knew exactly where Zubat was at too. Max wished Zubat knew Supersonic, because then he could confuse the Golbat for a few seconds, but he would have to find out a nother way to do that.The Golbat then shot out rings of yellow light again, which illuminated the cave a bit more and they were sent flying at Zubat.

"Dodge!" Max said.

Zubat quickly flew out of the way and the rings hit the cave walls. Oddly enough, the rings bounced off the walls towards the Golbat. They hit, and the Golbat plummeted to the ground, confused. Zubat then dove in at the Golbat and bit down on its neck, sucking its HP. The two bats hit the cave floor and Zubat was knocked off of Golbat.

Max motioned for Zubat to come back and then gently pushed Scout out there. Zubat flew back, slapping Scout's tail with his wing in an immitation of a 'high-five' and landed on top of Max's shoulder. Max smiled at the attemption adn then turned his attention back on the Golbat who was now flapping in to the air.

"Scout use Foresight!" Max said.

Scout's eyes illuminated a brilliant shade of purple and then back to normal coloring as she stared at the Golbat. The Golbat then dove in at Scout, but Scout hopped out of the way, and then grabbed ahold of Golbat's back. She held on as tightly as she could as the Goblat flew in all sorts of directions, trying to shake her off.

"Scratch!" Max said.

Scout's claws grew sharper as the pierced in to the Golbat's leathery skin, causing it to yelp and drastically fall. Taking the time to her advantage, Scout began drastically sratching at the bat. Finally, the bat managed to buck her off, and send her flying at the cave wall. She hit the wall hard and slowly sunk to the cave flooring.

"Zubat get out there and use Leech Life!" Max said.

Zubat flew quickly out to the bat and bit down on its wing. The Golbat then turned its attention on to Zubat, flicked its wing, and sent Zubat flying in to another cave wall. Max quickly ran to Scout and knelt down beside her. She would be ok, but he wondered if she could battle anymore. Then, he heard a loud screeching noise as the GOlbat bit down on to Zubat's leathery skin, sucking out his dwindling HP.

Max panicked. The Golbat was too strong for just one of his Pokemon to battle on its own. Then, he had an idea. Scout slowly rose to her feet and Max gulped hoping his plan would work.

"Scout use QUick Attack to knock the GOlbat off of Zubat." Max said only loud enough for Scout to here.

She nodded and quickly wove in between the cave rocks towards the Golbat. She leapt and slammed in to the Golbat's leathery, green skin and sending it flying in to the cave wall. It was forced to release Zubat and then Scout and Zubat quickly fled a few meters away from the bat.

"Now Scout, ride on top of Zubat! When you're close enough use Quick Attack to jump off of Zubt and then Zubat you use Leech Life!" Max said.

Scout leapt on to Zubat's back and held tightly on his leathery skin. Zubat then flew fastly at the rowsing bat. The Golbat then stood up and shook itself off. Zubat appeared right in front of it and Scout leapt off, slamming in to its body. Golbat flew in to the cave wall again and Zubat sunk his teeth in to its skin, and began to suck out its HP. The Golbat then quickly slapped Zubat and Scout away from it with its wing.

It was panting heavily now, obviously tired, but so was Scout and Zubat. The two Pokemon went flying at Max. Max quickly caught them both and gently sat them on the ground.

"Ok you two. When I turn the lantern on maximum light I want you two to charge the Golbat with your strongest move. No holding back." Max said loud enough for only them to hear.

The two Pokemon readied themselves and Max cranked the light of the lantern up on max. The cave was filled with blinding light and Max could barely see. The Golbat screeched in horror and Scout and Zubat charged it. Scout knocked the bat to the ground and began scratching it with rage. Zubat was sucking out the remaning HP, by sinking his teeth in to the bats neck.

---

A few minutes passed with Max's eyes closed with the light on and Max decided to turn the light down. He blinked a few times as his eyes readjusted with the darkness and saw Zubat and Scout both panting heavily and the bat laying on the cave floor, knocked out. Max sighed a breath of realief and sat down as Scout and Zubat approached him. The both fell in to his lap and MAx couldn't blame them. They had both worked very, very hard.

[Wolfwhispers]

OOC: Uh, yea. You said I could have Kone die, but if probems do arise I will delete this.

Having been in such a quiet cave for quite some time, it wasn't that hard to pick up any noise, especially a scream. Jade stopped, foot mid air as she nearly jumped out of her skin. She turned to Larvitar in shock.

"What was that?" she whispered, eyes wide with fright.

"Larv..." Larvitar said hesitently, tilting its head to find the source.

They nearly screamed themselves as another scream made them jump.

"Larvitar, lead the way!" Jade barked.

"Vart!" Larvitar called, running toward the sound. Jade followed as quickly as possible, raising the torch as high as possible to add more light.

"Heeelp!" a voice screamed. "Sentret! Chikorita!"

Jade came upon a horrible sight. A girl, no older than her, was flailing about wildly as a large swarm of Zubat covered her and her pokemon, attempting to Leech Life them all. They were out for a good snack, and they had found on.

"Hold on!" Jade yelled. "Qiuck, Larvitar! Start helping out!"

Larvitar nodded and ran forward, trying to bash and Bite as many Zubat as possible. Jade herself was waving her torch around wildly, scattering the pokemon as she tried to get closer to the girl.

The girl was sobbing and stumbling back, trying to get away as her pokemon defended her. "Oh!" she squeaked loudly, startling Jade.

Jade blanched as she saw the girl stumble back, slipping a bit on some wet rock. To her horror, the girl began to slide back, right into a deep pit that didn't show how deep it was. She just barely managed to grab a hold of a stray rock.

"Hold on!" Jade shouted, wincing as the Zubat hit her.

"Chiko!" the girls Chikorita snarled, batting the Zubat away with its large leaf.

"Hand on... I got ya," Jade grimaced, grabbing the girls hand.

"Please don't let go," she sobbed.

"I won't," Jade promised, grimacing as more Zubat bit at her.

"Chiko!" Chikorita snarled, whacking away another Zubat, all the while eyeing Jade warily.

"Larv!" Larvitar shouted, trying to get to Jade in exasperation.

"Uhg... Larvitar!" Jade called back, trying to pull the girl up. "Come... oh crap!"

The girl screamed as Jade slipped, nearly letting go "Oh... my gosh," she quivered, trying to grab a hold of Jade.

"Stop squirming," Jade snarled angrily, the Zubat's getting on the last of her nerves.

"Ah! Forget it! Larvitar, Rock Slide!" Jade finally shouted in dismay.

"No!" the girl shouted just as Chikorita yelled, "Chika!"

Larvitar, with a determined expression, jumped hard, creating a miniature earthquake, shaking the cave and forcing the rocks up above to fall.

"Zuuu!" a single, and particularly large Zubat screeched, falling under the rocks in a dead faint. The other Zubat, who were obviously followers of the larger one, flew away in fear.

But while that was all well and good, Chikorita had Tackled Jade away, angry at her stupid command. "Chiko!" Chikorita screeched, trying to wrap its leaf around its trainer's hand.

Jade bounced away, torch almost going out. She groaned in frustration before her mouth fell open in fear. Chikorita was trying to hold its trainer's slipping wrist, and just as she tried to lunge for the girl, Chikorita's grip slipped, and the girl fell, screaming. Her scream lasted, until they couldn't hear anymore, but there was no landing, no splash... no nothing.

Chikorita stared at the ditch in horror, eyes wide. Body shaking feircely, it vomited to the side. "Chiko!" it screamed, crying freely, curling into a ball and shivering fiercely.

"Sent..." Sentret sniffed in fear. Shaking, it ran, even as Jade called for it. "Sentre!" came its lasting call, forever lost in the Dark Cave.

"Lar," Larvitar said softly, looking at the grass type with pity.

"Chiko... chiko... chiko..." it mumbled, eyes wide and unfocused.

Jade watched the whole thing, eyes wide and skin a ghostly pale. She looked at the fallen Zubat that Larvitar had defeated in battle, to Larvitar himself. The green pokemon was at a loss. Feeling sick, Jade wished she was anywhere but here.

No, Jade thought to herself. She had to be strong. She was a pokemon trainer, and while something horrible had happened, she needed to take control to get them out of here and somewhere safe.

Taking out her jacket, Jade nervously scooped up the shaking and mumbling Chikorita, praying to Mew that it didn't go into shock.

"Come on," she whispered to Larvitar. "Let's get out of here and find help..."

[Wolfwhispers]

Jade sighed in relief as she got out of the cave, when suddenly her gut tightened in guilt. Fighting the urge to barf, Jade shook her head. She needed to be strong, and she needed to continue. And yet, with the thought of that girls death, because of her own foolishness, she couldn't calm down.

"Larv," Larvitar said gently, nudging her foot in support. "Tar," he said a bit boldly, nodding toward the city she could barely see.

Jade sighed in understanding. Just like in the cave, she needed to pull herself together and be strong. Life for a trainer would always be a challenge, and even though she had heard rumors of pokemon trainers dying, it was still horrifying.

"Chiko," Chikorita said softly, drawing Jade's attention.

Jade gulped, trying to put on a brave face. "Chikorita, are you alright?" Chikorita turned away. Right, stupid question. Jade sighed as she gazed down at the grass type in her arms. "Listen, Chikorita, I know that no matter what I say, it can never make this situation alright. We've both just gone through a horrible experience, you even more than me, but if we don't fight, we can never be at peace."

Chikorita scowled.

Jade smiled softly, seeing another stubborn soul, much like herself. Before she could say anything, Larvitar shouted loudly, startling them both. "Tart!" Larvitar shouted, pointing at a figure floating their way.

Jade felt her lips tug into a smile at Larvitar's "Tart" but kept it away, focusing on the problem at hand. "Gaaastly!" a ball of a ghost exclaimed, laughing as it bulleted around Jade's head.

"Get away!" Jade snarled. "I don't have time for you!" Jade grit her teeth as she clutched Chikorita closer. She needed to get this little guy to the pokemon center.

"Gast," Gastly scowled before smirking. "Gaaaas!" it called hauntingly.

Its call was answered by various other Gastly, all of them floating and bulleting past Jade's head.

"Get away!" Jade snarled again, starting to run.

"Gas, gas, gas!" they chanted, laughing at her attempts to get away. Chikorita snuggled into her arms, closing his eyes in fear and was shaking like a leaf.

"Tarter!" Larvitar shouted angrily, dodging a nasty Lick attack.

Jade growled in anger. "Forget this! Larvitar, Rock Slide!" Larvitar nodded and, eye glowing softly, stamped the ground. Rocks were lifted high above them all and began to descend upon the Gastly. They all scattered in anger.

"Gastly," one growled in anger, coming in front of Jade. The others hovered behind it. There was something odd about this one. The others had a purple smoke while this one had a blue one. Jade brought out her pokedex.

Gastly (shiny), the ghost pokemon. This pokemon is born from gases and defeats pokemon by wrapping its gas around its opponent.

So that was why, it was a shiny. Jade had only heard rumors about the rare sight, and had never envisioned finding one herself, but at the moment, she couldn't afford to fight it, not with this traumatized pokemon in her arms.

"Gaas!" Gastly screamed, shooting toward Larvitar with its long tongue out.

"Dodge it!" Jade shouted without thinking.

"Larv!" Larvitar barked, rolling to the side. Growling angrily, it Leered back, startling the pokemon back a bit.

Jade bit at her lip, her thoughts completely jumbled in her mind. The remaining Gastly surrounded her, causing her to scowl. "Chka," Chikorita moaned in fear, leaf twitching.

Jade snarled at the ghost types. "Don't worry, CHikorita," she said with a forced calm, causing the grass type to look at her. "I'll protect you." With a determined expression, she shouted her command. "Rock Slide!"

"Tar!" Larvitar called, onc again stomping the ground and launching the sharp rocks.

"Sly, sly, sly," Gastly laughed, dodging between the rocks with ease. Its gas body seemingly arranged itself. "Gas!" Gastly called, giving Larvitar a big Lick on the cheek.

"Aaar!" Larvitar spat in disgust, wiping its cheek with its paw and ignoring Gastly's laughter. With an angry bark, it jumped at Gastly, chomping down with as much power as possible.

"Gaaaa!" Gastly wailed, mouth wide open in shock.

Jade grinned in triumph, momentarily forgetting that ghost types are weak against dark type moves. "Keep up that Bite attack!"

"Mdl," Larvitar said, its mouth full.

"Gastly hissed in anger, violently shaking its ball like body and sending Larvitar back. Glaring, it sent out a single circular beam.

"Dodge it!" Jade shouted desperately. "Its Hypnosis!"

"Tar," Larvitar barked in agreement, jumping out of the way of the rin. "Tar!" he called, jumping again to land another Bite attack.

"Gas," Gastly taunted, flying out of range. Coming down, it prepared another Lick.

"Rock Slide!" Jade barked.

"Taaar!" Larvitar screamed, slamming the rocks down toward Gastly. The ghost type grimaced, foregoing its attack and simply dodging. Gasping as a single rock shanked its side, Gastly deftly avoided the rest, floating back a ways to keep its distance.

"Another Bite!" Jade commanded.

"Tar!" Larvitar said, running at Gastly again.

Gastly glared for a moment, white eyes staring hard before giving a toothy smile. "Gasss," it hissed, sending a ring towards Larvitar.

"Dodge!" Jade cried, startling Chikorita enough to gasp and look at the battle for the first time.

It was too late. Larvitar was captured in the ring. His eyes got droopy, and slowly he fell to his stomach, completely out and amidst the laughing Gastley's. The leader hissed in triumph and continued to pound Larvitar's open body with its own, ignoring Jade's cries.

"Stop it!" Jade snarled. "Fight fair, damn you!"

Chikorita stared whide eyed, disbelieving as the pokemon before her was pounded before his very eyes. He remembered fighting with his trainer, and his friend, Sentret. He could remember being ordered to protect pokemon from being hurt unfairly, and it enraged him as well as hurt him that he wanted to protect this pokemon without his trainer's help. But he had to. She was... gone.

And he would have to accept that... someday.

"Chiko!" Chikorita snarled, causing Jade to jump and drop the grass type in her shock.

"Chikorita?" she asked unsurely.

"Chia," Chikorita said boldly, ignoring the hiss coming from his new opponent. Glancing at the sleeping, but bruised, Larvitar, Chikorita knew what he needed to do. "Chikaa!" Chikorita snarled, launching a vicious Razor Leaf from its main leaf.

"Gaaa!" Gastly cried in shock, getting hit by the sharp leaves. Glaring, it sent another Hypnosis.

"Dodge it!" Jade commanded without faltering.

Nodding, Chikorita did as commanded. "Chikaa," he taunted, running around in circles, much to Gastly's irritation. With a scowl, it chased Chikorita with its large tongue out, preparing to Lick the grass type. "Chiko, chiko," Chikorita taunted, an inner fire beginning to lighten its eyes.

"Gaaa!" Gastly howled, bulleting toward Chikorita.

"Razor Leaf!" Jade commanded loudly, just as Larvitar woke up. It glanced around before preparing to attack, but Jade shook her head.

"Chikaaa!" Chikorita shouted in anger, leaf swinging incredibly fast. Wanting to end this, and release all of its anguish, Chikorita poured all of his emotions into this attack. "Iitta!" he screamed, finally launching the vicious leaves.

"Gaaas!" Gastly cried out, trying in vain to dodge. It was not to be so as the fast leaves hit it before it could even twitch backwards. "Gass," it hissed falling to the ground at Chikorita's feet.

The surrounding Gastly hissed among themselves, looking at the group with a bit of fear before fading away, leaving their fallen alpha on its own. "Chiko," Chikorita said in triumph, tears finally falling like a waterfall. Glancing at the fallen pokemon, and toward Dark Cave, and finally to Jade, the grass type nodded, not even bothering to hide its tears. "Cho," he said, bowing a little. Then, straightening, Chikorita began to walk away toward a silhouette that looked suspiciously like a Sentret.

Larvitar tilted his head, glancing at Jade for help, but was shocked to see a single tear roll down her face. "He can find some peace," she murmered. "Maybe not now, but someday."

"Larv," Larvitar said in understanding.

Breathing deeply, Jade glanced at the fallen Gastly. It stared at them with defeat, though with a hint of a mischievious smile. Grinning back, she took out a pokeball and threw it, hitting thr ghost type and sucking it inside. And now all she could do was watch...

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

(This is going to be like a 'special' one hour long thing. I will have Chapters 7 and 8 so I can catch up with the RP. And to make up for me having Writers Block.)

Chapter 7: The Mutant Golbat (Part 1: The Mutant Golbat Appears!)

(Now, this will contain two certain reporters from Hoenn, so let's explain why they are here in the first place.)

(Unknown, Hoenn)

"Listen, your little Trainer battle thing is not working out so well, we really need ratings." Said the man on the other side of the desk. "And in this buisness, ratings are everything. So if you don't find an interesting story within a week, you two are fired!"

"What? But I'm the only capable one here!" Yelled Gabby as she glared at the man. "If you fire me, this company will plummet!" The man narrowed his eyes before calmly saying.

"The other so-called 'incompetent' people have brought in much higher ratings. If you can get 4%, then you may stay." Said the man. "That's about 35,000 people. Shouldn't be too hard for so-called 'non-capable' reporters." The man got up and left towards the door. "And I want you to really think about what you're doing with this, or you're both fired."

"Hey, Gabby. What will we do?" Asked Ty, wanting to find out what they were going to do. "I mean, we only have a week, and the highest ratings we got were nowhere near that."

"Never fear, Johto holds the answer! They have an evil team there, not sure what it's called, but if we write a story on that, we're shoe-ins!" Said Gabbe, smiling. "Now let's go!" And with that, the two left. They quickly got tickets and landed in Johto about an hour away, but elsewhere...

(Chris)

Chris sighed as he walked through the grass. "Man, no one has come near me in a while. And the pokemon have been staying away... I wonder why." Said Chris before sitting down. "Man, this is so boring. I wish I could have something to do." Suddenly, his pokenav beeped, indicating that there was a message.

"Go into Dark Cave, there is an under-levelled, shiny Golbat, or at least I think there is." Said Elm's message. Chris turned his Pokegear off before turning towards the cave.

"Heh, finally... another mission." Said Chris before pulling out a flashlight. "Good thing I came prepared this time." And with that, Chris walked into the cave, unaware of what was going to happen.

(Gabby and Ty)

"I don't know... I think that man was just taking our money. Why would Team Elen hide in a cave?" Asked Ty, which annoyed Gabby.

"Shut up! Even if it isn't Team Enel's base, we may still have a story." Yelled Gabby in annoyance. "I mean, come on! We have flashlights which should scare off the Zubat, and our own pokemon!" Gabby then pulled out a flashlight and walked into the cave.

"Yeah, our pokemon who can't even beat a beginner." Said Ty while Gabby was out of hearing range. The camera man quickly started walking into the cave himself.

(Chris)

Chris stopped as he heard people talking. "Could it be?" Asked Chris as he looked back. Seeing as he saw the bright light of a flashlight, he knew another person was in there. "Team Enel?" Deciding that it was, Chris jumped out, and punched one of them, knocking him to the floor. Chris shined the flashlight in Ty's face.

"Oww... kid, what are you doing?" Asked Ty. "We're just reporters from Hoenn trying not to get fired." Chris snorted before getting off of the camera man.

"If you're from Hoenn, then why are you here?" Asked Chris to Ty, but it was Gabby this time who spoke.

"We're here to find a story, like my bonehead partner said, so we can save our jobs... but we haven't had such good luck with that." Said Gabby before coming closer to Chris, to get a better look. "Hey, aren't you that kid who was in a race around an entire city? Wow, you and that other kid really sucked."

"Hey! It wasn't my idea!" Yelled Chris, not hearing a powerful flapping behind him. "Besides, Koga knocked us both out so he could get his Gym back!"

"So?" Asked Gabby. "Yuo still su- wh... what is that?" Chris looked behind him and saw a Green Golbat, ready to strike.

"GOLBAT!" (T: Raaah!) Screeched Golbat, in an angry tone.

"Whoa!" Gasped Chris before sending out Apollo. "Apollo, use Tackle!" The Phanphy landed on the ground, trumpeted his horn and went in for a Tackle, but Golbat was able to dodge. Meanwhile, Gabby and Ty were rushing to get their supplies ready.

"Phanphy!" (T: Why are you mad?) Squeaked Apollo, but the Golbat just flew in and bit Apollo.

"Apollo! Break free and use Tackle!" Yelled Chris. Apollo broke free and slammed into the Golbat, but it didn't do much. "Whoa... that thing is strong."

(To be continued... right now)

-------------------------------------

Chapter 8: The Mutant Golbat (Part 2: Chris' Pokemon Vs. Golbat!)

The winds around Golbat started to whip up as the bat-like pokemon flew into the air and slammed its wing into Apollo, but the blow didn't do too much to the little elephant-like pokemon. "Now, use Defense Curl, then Tackle!" Apollo curled up in a ball before bouncing up and slamming into Golbat, knocking it away fast, but it still didn't do too much damage.

(Gabby and Ty)

Gabby stood in front of the battle, at a safe distance away, and gave Ty the go ahead. Ty switched on the camera and signalled that it was good to go.

"Welcome to our segment, normally we would fight a trainer now, but we found something in the Dark Cave in Johto. A trainer is fighting against an under-levelly evolved Shiny Golbat!" Said Gabby enthusiastically. "Now, the battle already started, but since we are all about showing epic battles, let's show this." Said Gabby before turning towards the fight, when all of a sudden, Golbat flew into the camera, breaking it.

(Fight)

Golbat flew back in quickly and slammed its wing into Apollo, doing major damage. "Apollo!" Yelled Chris as the Elephant fell on to the ground. "Return!" And after that, Chris returned his Phanphy, before tossing out his Pidgey.

"Pidgey!?" (T: What the? Why'd you send ME out!?) Squwaked Pidgey before somehow dodging a hit from Golbat.

"Go up against the walls of the cave!" Yelled Chris, hoping that this strategy would work. Pidgey finally got to the wall, and Golbat was flying fast, ready to perform Leech Life. "Move now!" Pidgey got a look of remembrance before flying out of the way, allowing Golbat to slam into the wall at at least 30 MPH, doing quite a bit of damage... in fact, it probably couldn't survive a strike from Pidgey.

"Piiiidge!" (T: Ooooh, snap! That had to hurt!) Yelled out Pidgey, but Golbat was able to slam into the small bird with a lot of force, knocking him out. "Piiii..." (T: (Bleep) you.)

"Crap! The only pokemon I have now is Togepi!" Said Chris to himself before returning his own Pokemon, and summoning Togepi.

(Gabby and Ty)

Gabby was still staring at the busted camera. "You idiot! We finally got evidence of an elusive Shiny, and you wipe it away!" Yelled Gabby before breaking into tears. "There goes my job."

"Maybe not." Said Ty as he pulled out the disc he was using to record. It was perfectly fine, and still held all of the data.

"Oh, my career is saved!" Said Gabby in relief, before turning to the fight. "I think the fight is over."

(Fight)

"Toogepi!" (T: Hey, I'm a Togepi, and now you are in trouble!) Gloated Togepi, enraging Golbat to immense proportions. Golbat flew in, but just before he could hit the newborn, Togepi jumped up, and allowed Golbat to slam into the wall, knocking him out cold.

"Hey... you won." Said Chris in disbelief. "You actually beat a Golbat."

"Togepi!" (T: Yeah, wasn't that hard.) Said Togepi, oblivious to what happened earlier.

"Return, Togepi." Said Chris before returning Togepi to her pokeball.

(Later)

"Thank you, you saved our career big time." Said Gabby before turning around. "We just may see each other later on. But we have to go for now... bye." And with that, Gabby walked away. Ty just stood there for a second before saying.

"Thanks, I guess... but you owe me for attacking me." Said Ty before running after Gabby. Chris just stared and said.

"Wow, I thought they left a while ago."

(To be continued)

(ooc: I hope this was okay, doing both posts in one. I didn't want to lose my train of thought, as I appearantly had a semi-bad case of writers block, or at least with Dark Cave. I already have an Idea for Route 31.)

Chapter 5: Dark Cave



Grey quickly wiped away the tears running down his face before turning around to see Ashton, who had been watching Grey's battle unfold since he had finished his.

"How did you do?" Grey asked, and before an answer, Grey started walking along. The thug had disappeared.

Grey got out his PokeDex, which was still sparkling, with very few scratches – or fingerprints, for that matter. The exquisite red device was made of many different parts, big and small. It had two screens: one screen on the bottom, and one on the top. On the side of the lower screen was a round touch wheel witch was designed to look like a PokeBall. Grey pressed the 'On' switch after he flipped open the device. Immediately, the screen blared and Grey was looking at what seemed to be an electronic filing cabinet. As he scrolled through the files on the screen, he watched to see how the layout of each separate file was. If he opened a file of a Pokemon that he hadn't seen, the screen would be full of question marks; if the file was of a Pokemon he had seen, there was a sprite of the Pokemon on the right, and nothing else. The files of Pokemon that he had caught had more detail: there was a sprite on the right, and on the left was more than enough information on that certain Pokemon. There was the height, weight, type, possible genders, and many more unthinkable things, such as a short description of each Pokemon. Grey was in awe of how much this small, handheld device could store. In awe so much, that is, that he nearly ran into a tree, before being stopped by Ashton.

Grey stopped in his tracks so he couldn't run into anymore hazards while he found a screen of the route that he was on. At the top of the screen, in bolded black letters was the name of the route, Route 30. Underneath was a small pixilated map of the area.

"Hmm.." Grey thought, "I looks like we are through the route. I think the next stop is…. Umm," Grey paused trying to figure out how to get to the next screen, then, he decided, "Ahh, yes, DarkCave." Grey opened up the map of a cave, which was very different from the map of a route. Then, he said, "Gee… This is a very dark cave," The whole screen was black, but when Grey turned the wheel it started getting lighter. "This is odd," Grey inquired. Then Grey clicked on the bolded font that said 'DarkCave', and up popped another screen. "Hmm.. This screen says that we need the move flash for this cave. I don't think that we have that move…" Grey's thoughts trailed off.

Eventually, Grey decided that they needed to see what the cave was like: what Pokemon and items there were, and what the move flash was. Grey ventured into the cave after being stopped by many people near the entrance who were all saying things along the lines of, "It's very dark in there… be extremely careful." It turns out that those people were right, it was very dark in there. Grey couldn't even see by squinting. The only thing that gave off a little light was the screen of his PokeDex. Grey ventured into the cave, and was immediately startled by whooshing sounds of what must have been Zubat, and the cries of Pokemon like Geodude and Teddiursa.

"Okay, be careful where you step," Grey said, not only to Ashton but to himself. Though however hard Grey tried, he eventually ran into a wall. "Ouch," Grey yelped, startling not only other people in the cave but Pokemon. Grey continued walking through the cave, this time keeping his hands out in front of him. Soon enough, Grey made another blunder: he tripped over a gargantuan rock. "Gosh, that was a big rock!" Grey exclaimed while bending down to see where it was. But when Grey bent down, it wasn't there. "Hmm…" Grey said, standing back up to be face to face with a Geodude. "Okay, Snow and De! Get out there!"

Snow and De, who were cowering behind Grey slowly made their way around him to meet their opponent.

"Geo!" the Pokemon cried, not only a battle cry, but a startled cry.

"Okay," Grey said to Snow, "I know your weak against rock types, but bear with me! Use a tackle!" and to De, "De, heal Snow, if needed, of course,"

Snow then tackled the Geodude, causing it to come tumbling to the ground. "Geo!" It erupted with anger before releasing a full power tackle. The tackle caused Snow to stagger back, but Snow held in strong.

"Okay, just keep on repeating that process, but first, De heal Snow!" De then gathered the mysterious powers and laid its hands upon Snow. Snow now looked as good as new, and tackled once again. This tackle was a critical hit, though, nearly knocking out the Geodude.

"Okay then Snow! One more hit!" But this time, Geodude hit first – and hit De. "Oh, De!" Grey said, then, "Quickly use synthesis!" Then the Pokemon gathered its power, but took longer than usual. Eventually De was fully healed, but scared out of its mind. Then Snow tackled the Geodude one last time, finally knocking it out.

"Good! Okay guys, lets get out of this cave before any more scares," Then Grey turned around and got a stunned look on his face.

"… If we can find a way out."

Chapter 5 (Post 1/2): The Forest

Raven Wulfgar was very excited about getting her first Pokémon. There was an almost unnoticeable skip in her step as she ran her hand over the one Poké Ball on her belt, containing a small, seed-like Pokémon: Sunkern. Honestly, Raven would have preferred a Normal or Dark-type, but anything was fine when it came to starting her journey.

But she couldn't forget the bird Pokémon, Hoothoot, that she had caught earlier. His name was just Hoothoot, but occasionally she called him "the Balancer" because he always stood on one foot. And she meant always. It was in no way annoying to her, but it was just rather... bizarre. It intrigued her. Why did he do that, she wondered?

She whirled around and rushed back into her house, picking up the Flying-type's Poké Ball that she had left on the small table before she exited the house and forgotten. Quickly, with her mother not noticing her, she headed back out and continued north to Route 30. She still had two Poké Balls left... maybe she could catch something new with them. She admitted she liked Bug-types a lot... if she continued to the forest, would she be able to catch one? There was something up there, she was sure of it.

She loved Butterfree, and so it was the same with Caterpie, but she liked Beedrill almost as much. Of course, there was always the chance it would sting her... Caterpie it is, she thought. I'll try to catch a Caterpie.

Adamant, she headed up to Route 30, the warm wind welcoming her at once. She had always preferred the cold, but at least it wasn't burning up outside. She would live.

Raven shrugged, stopping for a moment to let her gaze catch onto the tight group of trees ahead. Something told her that there was something in there. She wanted so badly to go in there and find out what it was. Caterpie, right? Yup, that was it. That was what she was looking for, correct?

The twelve-year-old's heart sped up as she neared the forest. With every step, she grew more excited. Many thought of Caterpie as weak. But Butterfree was simply beautiful, and that counted for something, didn't it? She was only that much more excited to evolve it every time she thought of the serene butterfly.

It was quite a few minutes before she reached the border of trees, but it had been worth the journey. There were many Bug-types in the forest, but none showed themselves to her, and she had to look for a while.

For a moment, she thought it was just her imagination, but then she saw a small, green bug crawling up a tree. It had a pink horn-like thing on its head, and Raven scanned the bug with her Pokédex.

The machine said in a monotone voice, "It crawls into foliage where it camouflages itself among leaves that are the same color as its body."

"No wonder I couldn't find it," Raven said to herself, opening the Poké Ball closer to her hip that actually contained a Pokémon. It released a small owl with brown feathers and a lighter belly. The owl's eyes were large, round and red, with very tiny, almost invisible pupils. Like clock hands, two black horn-like extensions stuck up diagonally from each eye. It stood on only one four-clawed foot at a time.

"Hoothoot, surprise the Caterpie with Tackle!" Raven commanded her Pokémon.

"Hoo..." Hoothoot sighed, bashing into the worm. The wild Caterpie was so surprised it fell off of its place on the tree. It gathered string in its mouth, and all of a sudden, Hoothoot was wrapped in the silk.

"Cut it open with your beak," Raven encouraged. "Then use Tackle again."

The owl quickly slashed the soft thread with its sharp beak, and soon, it was free. It jumped at Caterpie, causing its foe to be knocked back.

"I think that's enough for a Poké Ball," the black-haired Trainer said to herself, grabbing one of the two last empty Poké Balls on her belt. With that, she tossed it at Caterpie, which was sucked inside.

As the Bug-type struggled within, Raven concentrated, as if it would help her catch the Caterpie.

OOC: Now you just tell me its nature, right? I apologize for my lateness; I don't have a lot of free time here.

(ooc: There will be a trainer from another RP that I was in, here. Hope you don't mind.)

Chapter 9: Challenged by a Johto Trainer! Protect Your Pride!

Chris walked down the road, glad that he was almost at Violet City, as the recent events have worn him out. "Heh, this journey is almost as crazy as the last one. It seems that Team Enel hasn't made too many moves yet, or I would've heard of it in the news." Chris turned to the gate to Violet and sighed. "Well, let's go in."

"Not so fast!" Yelled a voice. Chris looked back and saw a young man. "I challenge you to a pokemon battle!"

"You're on!" Yelled Chris, before reaching for a pokeball. "How many, I have three pokemon!"

"Wow, that's ironic. I have three too!... but let's do a 1-on1." Said the boy as he tossed a pokeball onto the ground, sending out a Meowth. "Well, actually I have five... My name is Kyle Akel, and you are going to go down." The boy, now named Kyle, whom I shall dub as J.Kyle to avoid confusion. "I used to be in another RP, but now I'm stuck here... oohoho."

"Another... what?" Asked Chris, very confused about what Kyle said, but the Johtonian just shook his head before turning to his Meowth.

"Okay Lauren, let's get ready." Said J.Kyle as he pet the Meowth, who then meowed. "Of course we can beat him... he looks pathetic. A level 2 can probably beat him, my team is all Level 6."

"Level 6? Well, this will be interesting, but even so... I have more experience then you." Said Chris before sending out Apollo. "Apollo, get ready to fight!"

"Apollo?... pffft hahahah!" Laughed J.Kyle after hearing the name. "That has to be the worst name I've ever heard!"

"Grr... Shut up, and let's fight." Said Chris as he turned to Apollo. "We can win this, I just know it."

"Heh, prepare for the fight! My pokemon may have been weakened, but we will still win!" Yelled J.Kyle as he pointed at Apollo. "Lauren, use Faint Attack!" Lauren nodded before vanishing, surprising Chris.

"But that's impossible! Meowth can't learn Faint Attack at Level 6!" Yelled Chris. Apollo looked around, but couldn't see his opponent.

"Meowth!" (T: Gotcha!) Yelled Lauren before cutting Apollo... but to not much avail.

"Quick, use Tackle!" Yelled Chris. Apollo quickly slammed into Lauren, knocking her back quite a ways, but not knocking her out. "Use Defense Curl!" And at that, Apollo curled into a ball.

"Phan!" (T: This is fun!) Trumpeted Apollo still in his 'ball'. "Phy, Phanphy!" (T: This is going to be a good fight!)

"Grr... Lauren, use Fake Out!" Yelled J.Kyle. Lauren dashed up to Apollo before smacking the little elephant. "Now, use Bite!"

"Meowt!" (T: I'm not sure it will do good... but okay!) Screeched Lauren before biting down hard, doing quite a bit of damage. Apollo shrieked, but couldn't move in shock.

"Now, use Faint Attack!" Yelled J.Kyle. Lauren vanished once again, causing Apollo to start looking around, looking for the Meowth.

"Grrr... As soon as you see Lauren appear! Use Tackle!" Yelled Chris. Apollo tried to do so, but Lauren was too quick and was hit. "Use Tackle anyway!" Apollo trumpeted his snout before slamming into Lauren, and with his body tougher then normal, it knocked Lauren out.

"Well, it seems you won... congratulations... it looks like you were the better character." Said J.Kyle as Lauren disappeared, the odd thing was that J.Kyle didn't do anything. "Now, I have to return... to the afterlife." And with that, J.Kyle started walking towards Chris. "Be careful, I died on my journey, and if you aren't careful, you will too." And with that, J.Kyle turned into a Gastly before disappearing.

"Wow, was that real... or was it just an illusion?" Asked Chris before returning Apollo to his pokeball. The event was an illusion, but the message was clear... watch out as a trainer died here.

(ooc: Yeah, 'J.Kyle' was really a Gastly. As was 'Lauren'.)

All right, I think I fixed it. I still don't really know how this works, but thanks for letting me know. I know what order the routes are in, but since you posted Chapter 6, I thought I should go to Violet City.
