Operation: Childcare(F)

[Lamont]

Despite the mocking ferocity of the pointy feathered being, it didn't look any tougher than the last one that Freyja had sent crying back into the trees. Looks could be deceiving of course, so the eevee wasn't about to let her guard down just because she knocked back the previous bird in a single hit. With a quiet huff she set forth, whipping through the grass with ease. It was faster than Spearow had anticipated. It had watched the battle from before and expected some improvement but this much?!

Spearow lost all of its cool demeanor. Cawing its shock and immediately trying to get out of Freyja's charge. Unfortunately for the wild pokémon it was far too late. The fox-like pokémon bashed into the lighter being and ended up trampling the winged creature under tow as she passed through. Needless to say the spearow was seeing stars. Vision brightening and a white haze creeping in from its peripheral vision. As Freyja returned to stand before Kevin, Spearow barely managed to make it back up to its feet. It panted heavily, but still it tried to put on the tough guy act. It puffed out its chest and cawed with all its might...

And then it fell unconscious.

VICTORY!

Freyja grew to LV 12 and gained +1 Happiness! (+8)

The Spearow went down faster than Kevin had thought and he had to atribute it to Freyja getting a little stronger after every battle. She was clearly getting too strong for most of the Pokemon in the area now but Kevin wanted to wait for her to get one more battle in before taking the young Eevee to a place with stronger Pokemon and he also still wanted to train Eiskalt as well. " So it looks like you are growing at a pretty decent rate Freyja. That victory came pretty quick but I think you can still benefit from one more battle here." He said as Samantha's temper reached explosive levels.

He knew the vixen was going to blow her top at any moment but he had earned her respect to buy himself one more battle without her losing it. " Samantha hang in there for one more battle and I will find you something you can fry. Freyja is almost ready to move on and Eiskalt can hang out a bit before we get her trained and Berserk and Clamps can already hold their own in Violet thanks to March raising them as much as he did." Samantha took a deep breath agreeing to wait one more battle as she knew Kevin would keep his word as much as she hated waiting any longer. " I look forward to it, my powers will not grow standing around and I want to be ready for the next gym. I should be very useful against them when the time comes." She said as Oracle took a deep breath not wanting to anger either of them.

Just then Oracle could feel the presence of something else nearby and she alerted the group " I can sense something else heading towards us. It looks like Freyja eill not have to wait very long to get into another battle." Kevin wanted to get it over with quickly to calm Samantha down so without even waiting to see ehat it was he gave Freyja the order to attack while Samantha and Oracle looked on. Freyja this is a bit risky but you have grown quite a bit so I am willing to roll the dice a bit, I want you to use Tackle on whatecwh jumps out. Make sure you use your Adaptability ability while you are at it to really make whatever jumps out regret trying to challenge us." He said as the young Eevee ran forwards.


OOC: Freyja uses Tackle while activating her Adaptability ability on whatever spawns next.

With all the avians coming down to roost near Kevin and his Eevee recently, it was a tough life for anything Bug typed and small. A particular example of this archetype, a wild Wurmple, was quite busy hiding itself in the bushes near Kevin's location. Shivering vigorously, the larval Pokémon had watched as yet another of its predators fell victim to the mighty Eevee. This filled the bug with a myriad of conflicting emotions. On the one hand, that was one less hungry face to hunt Wurmple down. On the other, now it had to worry about potentially getting seen by this veritable juggernaut of a Pokémon. Wurmple hadn't seen such strength on Route 29 before. What a terrifying experience that had been.

The caterpillar-like creature decided that its best move was to stay cautious yet remain close enough to Kevin's squad that, hopefully, his Eevee would pick off any would-be attackers. As such, it wiggled on through the foliage beside Kevin. Unfortunately, however, Freyja was once again on the hunt for a target. Her ears perked up as she picked up a rustling in the bushes nearby. Her eyes quickly locked on to a particular piece of greenery. Wurmple froze in its tracks. Oh dear. Now it had a situation on its hands. The Bug type quickly turned its back on the duo and ran for its little life. Hearing yet more movement, Freyja made her move. The Evolution Pokémon raced into the shrubs eagerly, and within seconds some kind of impact could be heard.

On the other side of the bushery (no, it's not a word, but I don't care), Wurmple's body slid out into the open. Covered in twigs and leaves, the juvenile was most certainly looking worse for wear. Freyja had clearly become a lot stronger.

Freyja found a wild Wurmple hiding nearby!

Yes, this is necessary. I like writing these. They're pretty and they make reading easier. :c

With Wurmple having been forced into a combat situation, it did what any sensible Bug would do. Try to facilitate an escape. It spat out a sticky, white string toward Freyja as quickly as it could, eyes tightly shut out of pure terror. Kevin's Eevee didn't have long before her legs were covered in the strange, silk-like substance. Lifting her paws up off the ground tentatively, it seemed that Freyja was having a little difficulty moving. Just a little, mind.

The Wurmple that Freyja had found was certainly a relief over another Spearow even if it was not a species known for its strength. Kevin was not a huge fan of most bugs but he did admire how this one had stayed alive for so long with so many Spearow nearby. " You know? I think we have done this Wurmple a favor by taking down all these Spearow but evrn so I have to say I admire its ability to last so long by itself." As he looked over at the bug he was not sure if knocking it out was the best move as Wurple evolved quickly and he might be able to use it down the line one way or another.

Samantha did not care either way so long as the battle did not take much longer. " Sure why not add another rookie while we are at it? If it means I get to burn something to a crisp before the end of the century I do not give a damn either way. If it fails to luve up to our expectations I can always make us Wurmple stew." Oracle then stepped in to try and prevent things from getting out of hand as she spoke her mind. " Though I do not agree with Samantha on cooking the poor thing I do not mind bringing it along either. If nothing else poor Clamps will not have to be so lonely." Kevin did not even have to ask Freyja as the young Eevee was both busy trying to free her paws from the sticky web and unable to speak anyways. With that in mind he reached into his bag and grabbed a Repeat Ball that Professor Elm had given him.

" Well then it looks like the matter is settled then, Wurmple you have a choice here my little friend, you can either join us or face another round with Freyja who is not at all pleased by your String Shot." After pausing a few moments to let the bug decide whether or not it would join hin Kevin took aim at the bug. He wound up a pitch and threw the ball at the bug with all his might hoping that luck would be on his side. " Freyja be ready just in case. Even a young bug such as this has a chance of breaking out. Let's hope for the best so Samantha can finally have another turn."



OOC: Using a Repeat Ball without the capture bonus. Deducting it myself. I am in stitches about the bushery not being a real word.

[Ray Jafari]

With a flick of Kevin's wrist, the Repeat Ball flew straight for the Wurmple and scooped the furry caterpillar up in its bosom. The Wurmple tried to struggle, causing the ball to shake once. However, it was a rather sticky day today and the insect was grateful to finally get some humidity free shade. This distraction gave just enough time for the Repeat ball to finally click shut. The Wurmple was officially caught.

You have captured Wurmple!!!!

As soon as Kevin heard the click he knew he had succeeded in capturing the Wurmple. Though he had made a promise to Samantha he had to do something real quick before they could move on and find something for her to fight. " Time to call in two quick favors from headquarters before we move on. HQ I need two drops at my location. Send me a Blackbelt and Ironclad to my location, over." About five minutes later a small plane flew overhead and Kevin tossed a smoke granade to mark his location for the coming drop. A few seconds later two crates of different sizes came flying out of the back of the plane with parachutes attached. Kevin ran towards the boxes to recover them as soon as they landed.

The smaller one hit the ground first and Kevin opened it without a problem revealing the Blackbelt inside. " Oracle hold on to this Blackbelt, it will make your fighting type attacks stronger. While you do that I will go free Ironclad." Before he could approach the second crate however it was smashed open by the Pokemon inside. The Dhelmise within was a young one that Kevin had rescued a while back. He found it stranded on a beach while on patrol shortly before setting out for the Johto region and he figured it might be a useful Pokemon but he never expected it would be so good at smashing crates. The ghost and grass type had no idea where it was right now but at least it was freeded from its wooden prison.

" Now that we have you with us Ironclad we will start your training shortly after the next gym but for now I will put you in my pc. As for the rest of us I do believe it is time for us to go back to Violet City for some training. I hear there is a strong trainer there and both Samantha and Oracle could use a tough sparring partner before we get to the next gym." Oracle was really excited to see how much the Blackbelt would increase her power and Samantha could hardly wait to get into another battle. She knew her powers would be a huge help against Bugsy and beyond and staying in an area with such weak Pokemon was not helping. " With that matter settled let's head out. I want to meet this tough trainer as soon as we can and get some hardcore training in."
