Well, this was no slim pickings. I love it when I get lucky like this. I walked slowly over to the blue tuft of hair and dug in my pack for a treat. After some false alarms, I managed to get out a Poffin I'd made during my Sinnoh phase. I held it out to the tuft with one hand, and restrained Jason with the other. He was really eager.

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

 

Wearing a matching grin, Drew commanded, "Alright, Aipom! Use Agility!"    Aipom began to dash at the Gastly at an astonishing speed. In fact, there were times it would blip back and forth from side to side, too fast for the eye to follow.

 

Luna looked at Gastly and her eyes flashed, Gastly's evil grin only widened as he floated a little higher into the air. He stared down at the approaching Aipom. He opened his mouth wide and flew down towards him, sticking out his tongue as if he was going to lick Aipom.

Buuuut...he missed, Aipom was too fast so he quickly turned around to face Aipom a second time, his back was now facing Drew.

Luna stared at Gastly for the second time. Again, he flew down towards Aipom about to lick him, this time his accuracy was a little better...

 

((Its up to you whether he gets him or not))

((Congratulations! You just found a rare Pokemon!))

 

A hopeful sniffing sound. Then a tiny blue head poked out of the clump of grass rather shyly, nose sniffing the air, bright yellow eyes locked solely on the poffin. It seemed the Shinx did not even realize that John was there. With a scamper, it pounced forward, latching itself onto toe poffin, and began to gnaw on it happily.

Aipom cackled as the tongue missed him by inches the first time as he darted back and forth. Moments later, he was stopped in his tracks. The second attack by the tongue had stuck home, and the slimy, eerie wetness had slid up Aipom's face. Shuddering, the Pokemon almost didn't hear Drew yelling, "Aipom! Swift!" As Aipom began to wipe at his face with his tiny, stubby arms, he swung his tail, and a shower of golden stars flew out of the end in an arch, taking aim at Gastly.

Gastly backed away from the star's making their way towards him. He attempted to dodge them but failed and got hit in the side of the head...er...body.

He looked rather dazed for a moment and floated down towards the ground, obviously affected by Aipom's attack.

He quickly snapped out of it and turned to look at Aipom. He still looked rather dazed but that didn't stop him. Luna thought for a moment then...she decided to speak this time. "Gastly. Use Sucker Punch." She said, quickly, Gastly flew away from Aipom as a fist surrounded in a purple aura appeared next to his body, Then, he flew towards Aipom, pulling the fist back, then sending it at Aipom's chest.

[PonyEcho 1,610]

@,

"Yeah, Sure" replied Paul while he reached into his pack for 3 more treats,passing one to Stella to give to her Oddish. "Tauros, Poliwag here you go" he passed the treats on to the pokemon who then began to chomp on them. He then reached back into his pack to pull out a towel to dry himself off with.

About half the copies had been destroyed when not only the real Plusle and Minun leapt, but all the copies did as well. The Sneasel was fast enough to duck under an electrified Plusle, which soared over it and collided with one of the large boulders strewn across the beach, which promptly cracked open. Shuppet was not as lucky, as Minun caught it right in the midriff, and it toppled out of the air.

 

The blonde Team Rocket member squealed in dismay, and withdrew his Shuppet, turning to flee.

 

Wearing a matching grin, Drew commanded, "Alright, Aipom! Use Agility!"

 

Aipom began to dash at the Gastly at an astonishing speed. In fact, there were times it would blip back and forth from side to side, too fast for the eye to follow.

 

((No substitution means no swapping out pokemon, yes.))

((Technically the Steel type would nullify the type advantage of dark on psychic, but I'll give it to you here.))

 

With a squeal that sounded like it might have been autotuned, Bronzor instinctively raised, coming to rest hovering about six feet off the ground. Growlithe managed to grab it and cling on by its mouth. "Bronzor, use Metal Sound!"

 

Immediately, Bronzor began to emit a horrible screeching noise. It was deafening. Several spectators who had entered to watch Jasmine battle screwed up their faces or clapped their hands over their ears, cringing.

 

Route 39. Farfetch'd are still resting on the fenceposts. Several yellow forms are visible clinging to a tree that's emitting an odd buzzing sound. The leaves of a second tree are rustling, as if there's something moving around inside it. A blue tuft of fur is visible behind a clump of grass. Far overhead, a group of Hoppip floats along, descending due to a downdraft. The Tauros that were previously here have disappeared, but the Snubbull have returned, somewhat hesitantly.

 

Two trainers stand in a clearing not far off the main path. With them stand a Tauros, a Poliwag, an Absol, and an Oddish.

Ryan wasn't really minding the Shuppet being attacked, as he ran down to where Plusle was laying down at, extremely dazed. "Plusle! Are you all right?", he asked her ((Forgot to mention Plusle is female and Minun is male)), picking her up in his hands.

 

"Pluuuuahaauuuu...", she moaned out, shaking her head out a little, and staggering back at her feet.

 

Minun was too busy staring down the Sneasel, as he dashed out towards the Sneasel at an alarming speed, getting into a ramming position for his famed Quick Attack.

"Awww, you're cute! And hungry! Well, I got plenty more where that came from!" I dug around and found a slightly mushy berry. I'd have to go get me some more later, but I hoped it would do for now. Time to see if this Shinx liked me or not. I sloooowly moved the berry-laden hand toward him/her...

"Agil-" Drew's call died in his throat as Aipom tried to dodge the attack just a moment too late. The blow caught him in the side, and he was thrown a short way, spinning through the air. He stood up, looking a little dazed, but otherwise okay. Drew gazed at him, and judging he was okay to keep going, said, "Alright, Aipom. Lets try out your new move, shall we?" Aipom grinned and nodded, surreptitiously scooping up a seashell in his tail. "Fling!" And Aipom chucked the seashell mightily at Gastly.

Sneasel grinned, as did its trainer, and it began to sprint towards Minun as well, preparing a quick attack of its very own.

Shinx had finally finished the Poffin. It looked up, let out a squeaky little belch, and looked at John. It blinked in surprise, and hesitantly approached the trainer's hand, sniffing hopefully. Once it had reached his hand, and looked like it was about to take a berry, it turned its nose up at the food offered, and took a step or two away.

"No no no, wait!" This was do-it-or-lose-it time. I quickly got my sandwich out of its baggie, tore off a big chunk, and held it out. I wanted that sandwich, but this Pokemon was more important.

And that's about the time I let go of Jason.

He tore towards the Shinx and started clacking (I have no idea what noise an Aron makes. Whee!) at it rapid-fire. I had no idea what was going on...

The shell hit Gastly right between the eyes sending him flying backwards above Drew's head. He looked back at Aipom, obviously annoyed.

Luna also felt annoyed. Not bothering to speak this time, she stared up at Gastly, and like before, her eyes flashed a dark purple. Gastly stared down into Aipom's eyes and then...rays (Cant think of another word) Started moving from his eyes down towards Aipom...in an attempt to hypnotize him.

Stella smiled at Drew and gave the treat to Oddish, who ate it hastily. Oddish then suddenly remembered what they were doing before hand, still wanting to battle, and pulled on Stella's leg, and cried out a few times, a sweet scent emanating from the leaves on her head.

 

Stella at first didn't realize why Oddish had done that, until she realized where the sweet scent was coming from. "Soon." She said to Oddish, feeling confident now that Absol would listen to her, and that they could take on Jasmine easily. Oddish let go, and walked away to sulk.

"Ahhg...Growl.....Gr.....Errah" Leon tried to give Growlithe a command but couldn't concentrate over the screeching noise as he too covered his ears with his hands. Meanwhile Growlithe had let go of Bronzor and tried to hide his head in his arms to cover his own ears. "Errg....Em-ember!" Leon had yelled out to Growlithe. Even though he knew Bronzor was heat-proof the sound was unbearable and Leon had to stop the sound before he could think clearly. Unfortunately the attack missed completely thanks to Growlithe not be able to focus and hit the ground next to Bronzor, creating a small fire.

@,

Paul laid back on to the grass to relax for awhile for it dawned on him that he came out here to catch two Pokemon for the gym battle. Sitting back up he saw Tauros has gone to some grass to graze, Poliwag by Absol in an attempt to play with him and Oddish had gone away in quite a sad mood. "Whats up with Oddish Stella? " he asked

[Leafeon 2,702]

@@PonyEcho,

 

"Oh. She's just annoyed because she hasn't done any battling in a while, and she was ready for it a while ago." Stella replied, casually. Oddish got like this often, so she wasn't surprised she was acting like this.

 

Absol more or less disregarded the Poliwag trying to play with him, and tuned his ears to hear what Stella was talking about.

[PonyEcho 1,610]

@, 

"Oh..well I'm going to be checking some trees for Pokemon to catch, Why don't you and Oddish join, Absol too.... It'll make for good training and maybe you can catch one yourself" he said as he climbed up to his feet and turned to the Oddish "What do you think Oddish, wanna go battle some bug Pokemon with Poliwag and Tauros?"

Drew decided that they'd gone too far, using Fling. Just from the look on Luna's face. However, honestly, he recoiled slightly when her eyes glowed bright purple. He couldn't help it. He also felt a sense of apprehension when Aipom, eyes swirling, began to stumble about. And Aipom fell over, fast asleep.

 

Suppressing the growing apprehension, Drew shook his head, throwing on a smile. "That's enough. Aipom, return." And the sleeping Aipom withdrew into its Premier Ball. He caught Luna's eye, and said, "That was fun. And a good battle." He tried not to think about how those eyes had changed moments before.

Bronzor stopped its screeching, and had drifted slowly away from the fire, which had died out almost as quickly as it had started. However, the ground glowed brightly where the ember attack had hit it. Cherry-red, and red-hot.

 

Jasmine beamed. "Good job, Bronzor! Now take it out with an Extrasensory attack!" And Bronzor focused as a psychic projectile flew from it towards Growlithe.

Xatio looked up at his friend, who seemed to be eager to do something. He thought about what it could be, then realized. "You want me to be a pokemon trainer?" Spearow nodded. "Ummm..." He looked down at the two trainers. "I guess so. But I don't know where to start." He realized that they could probably hear him. "Oh um... hello?"

@@PonyEcho,

 

Oddish jumped around excitedly. Absol stood up, a bit nervously, and looked around.

 

"Nah." Stella said. "I think I'll head to Goldenrod instead... I think that's the most suitable gym for me right now. Besides; the only pokemon I think would be decent enough to spend time on around here is Farfetch'd, and not so sure about one of those." Stella wasn't sure if she should call back both Absol and Oddish, or if they would like to stretch their legs, so she motioned for the both of them to walk beside her.

 

Oddish pouted, but then jumped into Stella's arms. Absol padded up to Stella, a slightly nervous look in his eyes.
