Force of Nature

[Tyger]

((Requesting a battle with Silver if possible.))

Bout *****ing finally...

Rhoan muttered, growling to herself as she slid off Ares' saddle. Her bum was sore from riding through the cave, and her ears were sore from all the ridiculous Zubat screeching up storms. Downright pitiful, if you asked her. Either way, they were out of that cave and technically right next to Azalea.

Good job with that fox, by the way..

Rhoan chuckled, patting her beast of war on the flank. The bull snorted; it didn't have time for celebrations when there were many other things to do, like battle. Reaver, her Joltik, wriggled her way up Rhoan's jacket to her shoulder to perch, chirping happily. Although it hadn't got to battle, it was still a good show for the Joltik. Besides, as members of the team grew, they all got stronger. Time to go rip this Bugsy a new one. Tyrana, who'd exited her ball without a sound, silently nodded as Rhoan acknowledged her.

[Sacred Fire]

"We're finally out of that cave. Who knew that so many Zubats could thrive in one area and be constantly annoying? Well that explains one thing, this very Zubat is exactly like them. Annoying with all that constant chatter with their mouths." Silver said to himself as he appeared out of the cave. It had been a long journey even for him, but his pokemon seemed still energetic to get into another battle, and they weren't exactly happy pokemon. They were nearly the same as Silver was, a hardened trainer who didn't believe in things like love, trust, and care for his pokemon. That way he wouldn't have soft pokemon and it would make them harder for a battle.

As he continued to walk the red head haired teenager noticed a trainer nearby that he thought he had seen before. It was honestly hard to keep track of all the trainers that he had run into especially since he had come a long way. "Have I seen you before? I must have, it would have bothered me like this if I hadn't. Either way I think you could be a good test for my pokemon to see if we're good enough to face Bugsy. To show how strong we have become and all those trainers and pokemon in the cave made us stronger. Why? Because they were weak. Now here's a battle that you simply can't avoid." He said as he saw the bull pokemon standing with his trainer, he didn't seem to be bothered by it one bit.

As he took out a pokeball in his hands and tossed it up into the air. A pokemon appeared before him in a flash of red light, it was none other than a Zubat as it flapped its wings that had appeared to be purple and blue covering over them. The pokemon however seemed to have no eyes, but had great hearing and another useful tool, echo location to see where there were problems nearby.

But the only other issue was, the pokemon was loud, the noises could be heard from the inside of the cave as it continued to chatter. "Come on, shut it! You're as annoying as the wild ones are!" He warned the Zubat to not even try squeaking again before Silver would put his foot down on it, literally of course.


Silver has challenged Rhoan to a battle! And he sent out Zubat (Level 16) For battle! Send out a pokemon to attack!

[Tyger]

It was daylight outside, and Rhoan didn't want to risk the chance of being noticed. The Red Tiger wasn't known in these parts, but perhaps some random traveler could have noticed her, or seen her scar under her hair, and recognized the hunter. However, when a call came from behind her, she was aware she'd been spotted before reaching the city. Tyrana turned around, lip curling to reveal sharp fangs. Ares snorted and pawed at the ground, while her Joltik scurried to her other shoulder, probably unseen. I see alotta people around as well, but I just don't give a rats arse. She shrugged.

However, they boy wanted to battle on the premise of both their strength. Heh, the boy would have a neat surprise in store. Alright, have it your way. You've already seen three o' mine, so i'll add in a fourth. She grinned, waiting for his Zubat to appear. He didn't waste any time losing his temper. Reminded Rhoan of herself, but only slightly. Weak, though. Hatari, let's get this over with. She released the angry fish, which flopped to the ground with a snarl before glaring over at the Zubat. Ice Fang.

[/b] The fish began hopping towards the Zubat, gaining air with each hop to bite at the bat Pokemon with icy fangs. Tyrana, Ares, and Joltik watched with interest.[/center]

[Ŀėx.]

Silver arched an eyebrow as he stared at the flopping, gaping fish. "You have got to be kidding me. That is the most pathetic thing I've seen all day." The red head's frown deepened as the Carvanha attempted to attack. "If I were you I would've kicked it back into the puddle it came from...or had it for lunch." He shrugged, eyeing the savage Pokemon's trainer critically.

Rhoan looked like an interesting girl, with a unique grouping of Pokemon for the area. There was something about her that reminded Silver of himself, and it wasn't just the red hair. She nicknamed her Pokemon though; a sign of attachment that he took as a weakness. Maybe after he won the battle he'd teach her a lesson on how it doesn't pay to get too close....which sounded good in his head, but taking a starter from an old professor was a whole lot different than stealing a Pokemon from this girl that looked like she could kick his ass. He gulped and glanced away with a flicker of his eyelids.

"Zubat, put this fishing bait out of its misery. Leech Life!"

The order wasn't even fully out of his mouth and Hatari had already made her move. The brightly-colored baby shark clamped onto the bat with a set of icy fangs, dragging it out of the sky; Zubat's eyes rolling back and it fainted before it even touched the ground.

Silver's jaw dropped before he quickly regained his composure with a disgusted growl. "Stupid, good for nothing..." His voice trailed off as he returned the shredded, unconscious, flying rodent and brought out another Pokeball. "You better turn this around." The capsule arced through the air and released a gaseous shadow with a malicious looking face deep within it. The dark form turned to face Rhoan and smiled creepily.

Silver has sent out Gastly (level 14)! Will Rhoan continue battling with Carvanha or switch Pokemon?

[Tyger]

((Replace Focus Energy with Screech please :3 ))

Rhoan smirked, raising an eyebrow at Silver's weak accusations and petty teasing of her Pokemon. That's cute. You a little tough guy now that you got Pokemon, huh? Back where I come from, you don't train these critters. Your strength isn't determined by the Pokemon on your belt. She chuckled, cracking her knuckles. If I were you, i'd shut yer yap before I do it fer ya. She snarled, pushing up a sleeve on her jacke. Ares gave a snort, and Hatari snapped her jaws.

Justice would be served for the young fish though. She bit down on the Zubat, and knocked it out instantly. The look on Silver's face made Rhoan smirk, an common sight. Heh, who's weak now, huh? She smirked, accent adding a bit more tease. He returned his Zubat, and sent out a ghost Pokemon she hadn't seen before. Interesting. Oh, nice. Ghost. How'd ya get yer hands on this one? She grinned, wanting one for her own. Perhaps she could swipe it from him afterwards... No, not yet. Gotta lay low. Hatari, return. The fish returned back into the ball, and Tyrana grunted. No, not you. Let's let Cola have some action. She released the crocodile, who snapped his jaws angrily. Assurance.

[Ŀėx.]

"You cheated. There's no way Magikarp's circus freak cousin just beat my Zubat." Silver crossed his arms and sneered. This girl was all talk, she'd never follow through with her threat. "Doesn't matter where I got the Gastly, he's going to wipe the floor with you."
The kid disdainfully watched as his opponent switched Pokemon. The light from the capsule beamed out and formed a scaly looking beast at Rhoan's feet. Silver's brow furrowed as he eyed the Pokemon critically. The aggressive looking Sandile didn't seem like it was playing games.

"Gastly, use Hypnosis! Now!"

The gator was just quick enough, tearing into the ghost before it could even move. Silver threw the Pokeball on the ground in frustration as his second Pokemon fainted. "COME ON."

The trainer kicked the Pokeball off to the side and glared at his Pokemon as it started to regain consciousness. "I'll deal with you later, you little fart." Gastly looked upset as he floated off to the side, staring down at his cracked Pokeball anxiously.
"This is far from over." Silver reached for his last Pokeball, knuckles white as he gripped it tightly. "I'll show you a real croc." There was something in his voice, a slight inflection, that indicated he was more proud of this Pokemon than the others. "Come on out, Croconaw!"

Silver has sent out Croconaw (level 18)! Will Rhoan continue battling with Sandile or switch Pokemon?

[Tyger]

Part of Rhoan felt bad for his Pokemon. Not because they were weak, but because of their trainer. If she had a right mind, she'd ditch the trainer, get his Pokemon, and train them up. Battle him with them next time, and then let him know they were his old ones. Unfortunately, she couldn't bring that kind of attention to herself, especially with her secret 'R'. I wouldn't blame the Pokemon... She smirked, amused with the trainer's flailing about. Cola had utterly destroyed Gastly, like Hatari had destroyed the Zubat. She wasn't necessarily fair, but the boy did challenge her.

Looks like you're down to one. I still say Cola's the best croc, but i'll let you believe what ya want. She grinned, returning the Sandile. Reaver jumped forward, although it was probably difficult to tell, or see. Meet my Joltik. She held up the tick Pokemon on a finger, and then let her jump off her finger and into the grass, almost like a lurking shark with her size. See if we can one shot this one. Electroweb.

[/color]

[Tiki]

I wouldn't blame the Pokemon..

"It is the Pokemon's fault! This is a Pokemon battle. If they lose, it's their fault!" he began to roar as Rhoan smirked. He didn't like this girl at all. Her attitudes were bad. She should have been losing and giving him prize reward, that was the goal to challenging her, right?

As Rhoan commented on the crocs, he pointed a finger at the Joltik that was just sent out. "If Cola is the best croc, then why don't you fight my croc with it? Are you afraid?" Then quickly, upon hearing the girl commanded her Pokemon, he added and ordered his Pokemon too, "Croconaw, Bite!"

Reaver gurgled something, and static electricity can be seen flying from her body. After her speedy preparation, she shot a web that quickly opens up in the sky, with sparks pulsing randomly on the linear formations. The Croconaw, knowing what would happen if he fails, tried to dodge but he had failed, as the flying and pulsing web was too fast for him to dodge. Soon, he found himself haphazardly trapped in the web, and the sparks touched deep in likely every nerves in his body.

The Croconaw grunted, and removed the electroweb tangling him as the electricity died down. He ran forward and chomped down on the furry electric spider. It probably tasted furry like other Pokemon, as the croc made no facial expression regarding the taste. He's not a taste connoisseur of furry Pokemon.

"You want to one shot? Too bad! My Croconaw is stronger than that, nice try," Silver spoke sarcastically, taunting Rhoan.

The two Pokemon returned to stand right in front of their trainer, waiting for their next move.

[Tyger]

Rhoan snickered and crossed her arms, staring intently over at her red-haired opponent. Everything about him irritated her. His cocky attitude, his hair, they way he glared around... Oh wait, she shared all the similar traits. So how can someone so... similar to herself, annoy her to death? Oh look, looks like the kid has at least one Pokemon that can take a hit. Rhoan grinned, enjoying her little taunting game. She wouldn't let Cola face the water type, and give him any satisfaction of fainting one of her Pokemon. Not that Cola would faint.

Easy, kid. You thought you were gonna win this, weren't you? She chuckled, shoving her hands in her pockets while Reaver crawled up to her shoulder. Every trainer's got this cocky little thing going on where "I'm the greatest, nobody can beat me" but when it comes down to it, kid.. She gave a nod to Reaver, who jumped off her shoulder, spewing forth another Electroweb attack. There's always gonna be someone better than you. So pick up your big boy panties and learn from this, kid. It may not be this turn. It may not be next turn, and you can fight your hardest... But you can't change the inevitable. She narrowed her eyes, preparing to watch the semi-conclusion of the battle.

[Tiki]

Reaver clamped her mandibles together, and happily executed her trainer's command. She gurgled and shot a self-expanding web of shocking web again. The scaly Pokemon tried to dodge but was entangled in the grasp of the web. Jolts of electricity channeled in every nerve of the Croconaw's body until he could no longer feel himself, and fainted on the ground.

"Lucky bug, I hope it gets crush by a rock," the opponent cursed the little Joltik upon seeing her victory against his own Pokemon.

Silver was mad, and angry. From the look of his face, he does not like losing at all, especially to some girl who thinks she knows it all. His facial muscles tensed and he breathed heavily as he faced one of the very, very, very few losses he had in his life.

"Hmph, I'm not going to worry about winning you when I can win so many others," the boy counted some Pokedollar bills and threw them on the middle of battlefield. His attitude wasn't definitely the best, and his silver spoon life was making his understanding of life more difficult.

Despite what was said, he knew he wanted to fight the girl again, to earn back the cash and to crush her chatty attitude. The red haired boy returned his Croconaw, and disappeared into Azalea town again.

---

For defeating Croconaw, Reaver gained 3 levels!
Reaver is now Level 21!
Reaver gained 1 happiness! Happiness is now +3.


Silver awarded Rhoan 1200 Pokedollar for victory!

[Tyger]

The boy was all bark, but didn't have the bite to back it up. It was sad, but some people thought they were strong, but hadn't earned the title quite yet. Heh, whatever kid. She shrugged, snapping. Reaver returned to her arm and nestled down into the back of her jacket. Tyrana snorted and followed her trainer to pick up the money the bratty kid had thrown down. A bratty style of battling and the attitude to back it up. His parents must be so proud.

C'mon, we need to train. I doubt the gym leader will be a scrub like that kid. She sighed, trekking to Azalea quickly. She pushed her way into the Pokemon center and held her Pokemon out for healing before turning to leave. However, someone caught her eye. A shady character nudged his head outside, so Rhoan followed, returning Tyrana. You seem like someone I should be talking to. She chuckled, out of earshot of the inhabitants of the Pokemon Center. The man shared a chuckle, then handed her a slip of paper. Details on a mission. She gave a curt nod and started walking. Take that back. Train, Mission, and then wipe floor with trainer.

[Sacred Fire]

It would make sense, in the town where the Slowpoke thrive, were one was on nearly every street corner, they would have been expected to challenge them to a battle. But that was not the case, the Slowpoke seemed to be basking in the sun instead of going back down into the well. Some didn't seem to like the cold down there, but up in the fresh air there was a problem, the town was land locked. No water insight unless you wanted to go into Ilex Forest. So the Slowpoke seemed to pay no mind to the trainer that walked out of the pokemon center.

But one pokemon did seem a bit different compared to the slowpoke that were wandering around. A round and pink pokemon appeared in the town. The first time it came across a human it spotted, and smiled, letting up its big blue eyes at the trainer. It was Jigglypuff, anyone would love a Jigglypuff that seemed so innocent. Just as the trainer was hypnotized by the cuteness of the pokemon it seemed to have gone into singing.

A common thing that the pokemon species did. But the Jigglypuff's lullaby was something of a curse as the human started to drift off and fall asleep. With this the Jigglypuff seemed awfully annoyed. Didn't anyone like its singing? Or would they rather see the inside of their eyelids while they slept?

Fumed and annoyed still the Jigglypuff continued down the street but it was getting closer to the pokemon center where Rhoan happened to be. And little did it know it seemed to have a battle within their midst. Jigglypuff were after rare pokemon. "Jiggg, jiggeh, jiggleh!" THe pokemon said as it still seemed to be oblivious over what was going on. The trainer on the other hand would have seen it easily.

A wild level 12 Jigglypuff has been spotted! Do you want to challenge it?

[Tyger]

Silver was a pathetic lump of trainer, and it almost bothered her how cocky the boy was. She was just as cocky, but she worked harder and displayed better results. She was allowed her cockiness, but that kid still had to earn it. As she was walking away, a Jigglypuff graced her presence. These were rare, but she didn't have time for them. Step aside. She growled, using her shoe to move the ball of fluff out of her path with a slide to the right. I've got bigger and better fish to fry.
