(OOC: the end of that battle was really boss! Props to ya dude!)
John leapt out at the bird. It had heard him coming and simply ruffled it's wings a bit in annoyance.
"Hah! Glad to see you remember me! You know how it went last time. This time, you will be mine!" John said smugly. The bird looked at him as if to say 'yeah right'. Aquanis stepped into view and had a confident look on his face.
"Aquanis! Water Gun!" John said. Aquanis did as requested, and blasted the Pidgey with his torrent of water. The Pidgey took off and flew at him, it's wings glowing a silvery color. Steel Wing, a pretty tough move. Exactly the reason John wanted him! He had no clue which of that Pidgey's parents had passed it to her, but he was glad they had.
"Block it with your shell, then use Ice Beam as she flies over you!" John said, remembering her pattern. The first time he had done this, Cinder was only level 11, and had been knocked over by the attack. This time was different. Aquanis deflected the attack with his shell, and turned his head up and shot the bright blue beam of ice at the poor bird. She was hit, and one of her talons froze. She landed and began pecking at the ice.
"Now, use Tackle!" John said, making a mental note to replace that move ASAP. Aquanis flew into the bird head first, and she fell over. John threw the pokeball, and she went inside. After a moment of shaking, she burst out and began to fly away.
"Oh no you don't! You're mine! The strongest flock together, which is how it should be! Aquanis! Ice Beam one more time!" John yelled, not caring if the whole state heard him. Aquanis complied, and blasted the Pidgey again, this time freezing her wing. She went into a spiral, and John chucked the pokeball at her. She went in it again, and the ball began shaking. After a few seconds, it dinged, and he knew he had caught the Pidgey. He ran over and picked up the pokeball.
"Great job Aquanis! You showed that tough old bird who's boss, yes you did!" John yelled in delight. He picked up the very pleased Oshawott and spun him around in a big hug. Cinder joined them with a disgruntled look on his face, and John picked him up with one arm as well. This was a completely different side of John that he never let anybody see, ever! He decided to name the pidgey Tempest.
