The Passage to Violet City

[revolvingscott]

Throw me a (SHINY!) Ralts and I'll love you forever. I'm only spending one battle here and if it's a (SHINY!) Ralts I can catch it! Everything/one can go fuxk themselves, quite frankly.

Amelia stood on the other side of Cherrygrove, ready to battle the first challenger that came across her path. She has spent the night in the Pokémon Centre and popped into the PokéMart to pick up some valuable supplies for her team fill of character and personality.

A smile crossed her face as she realised exactly how lucky she was to actually be here with her team! She loved each and every one of them for their special personalities.

After talking to Nurse Joy in the Pokémon Centre, she devised that the only Pokémon that she would like to catch out here was a Ralts but they were uncommon. Her guitar-playing Cubone, Dionysus, flew out of his Poké Ball; strumming his electric guitar with a look of pure ecstasy on his face.

"D'you wanna battle?" she asked, a hint of humour in her voice.

Cubone responded by nodding and playing his guitar some more.

"We'll see. Now come one, let's get you a pokémon to battle!"

[artmage]

The grassy knoll of the route near Cherrygrove seemed rather quiet today as a strange sense of peace descended upon the small, oceanfront city. There weren't a whole lot of trainers around and those that were out on such a day didn't seem to be too terribly enthusiastic about getting into a scuffle.

Dionysus was enjoying all this of course as he made up an impromptu serenade on his guitar and was attempting to warble some vocals as well; It became clear though from the sudden indignant fluttering of birds out of all the nearby trees that his skill with the instrument far surpassed his supposed singing prowess.
Somewhat miffed by this new discovery, he kept quite and merely continued his nonchalant picking of guitar strings as he followed in his mistress' lead through the area.
His muse was a little off today. usually, it took nearly no effort for him to think of a song, yet ideas were hard to come by at the moment and he found himself tapping his helm vigorously to try and jog his creative juices back into flow.

Thinking of the new baby Bradi, he began to strum harder and soon enough was so involved in his little rock-out that he was dancing around, bopping to the beat with his eyes closed.
That battle could wait perhaps. He was totally having a moment!

He didn't even seem to hear the rustling in the bushes nearby as a strange, slender form softly drifted out and trailed behind him, mimicking his moves perfectly and dancing along ethereally to his song...

Wild Shiny Ralts [Lvl 9] appeared!

[revolvingscott]

Amelia saw the Ralts immediately! The orange horn-like potrusion and the slight pink tinge to the Ralts' dress brought a giant grin to her face as she stared longingly at the creature.

Surely harming it in any way would be a sin? It was far too beautiful to be hurt! the thoughts flashed through Amelia's head as she stared longingly at it's beautiful, beautiful figure.

"I must have it!" she cried to herself. It didn't seem like it was going to come along right now but if she battled it, she could probably weaken it to the point that it would come along.

"Right Dionysus, let's battle him," she said decisively to the Cubone by her side.

"Let's try your newest move, Headbutt it!"

[artmage]

Dionysus, enthralled and excited that he suddenly had a new 'fan' continued to dance with this strange creature for a few moments before he caught gist of what his mistress was saying.
Battle? Battle with this thing who it seemed, was about to be his first groupie?
The woman was totally denting his street cred.

He harrumphed and stopped playing for a moment to try and tell her off, when a low growl suddenly came from the thing which it seemed was not at all happy that he stopped playing the guitar.
It was demanding more! Feeling a little insulted, he stuck his tongue out at it disdainfully, miffed that it did not respect his artistic pride.

"Cubone!"
He snarled as he got into a battle stance and slung the guitar by its strap around his body and cracked his knuckles threateningly. Amelia's words rang hollow in his skull as he picked out the two of the most important syllables;

Headbutt.

Right.

"CUUU!!"
Rampaging towards the Ralts, he picked up speed as he neared it and smashed the breadth of his skull-helm into the thing's torso, caving in most of ts belly so much that it flew and smacked right onto the bark of a large tree where it flopped to the ground in a limpid manner.

"Raaaaallttsss..."
came the dazed call as it slowly for to its feet, very much injured from that deadly opening act.
Still, it refused to coincide defeat as it swelled itself up considerably and all the sudden Dionysus found himself engulfed in a deep, purplish light.

He tried to move and found that his limbs could no longer answer his commands.

"Cubone! CUBONE!"
came the panicky yelp as he tried to understand what the hell was happening. One of his arms suddenly shot up to pull the guitar from his back as he found that he was unable to stop beating himself on the head with his beloved instrument!

"Bone! Bone! Booonne!!"
He ran back and forth, trying to make sense on why his hand seemed to have come to life on its own and was now exacting punishment on him--the Ralts on the other hand was tittering to itself in glee as it waved its paws around, manipulating the Cubone's motor skills until it let out a groan of exhaustion and the light finally faded away.

"Cu.....bonnnee.."
Dionysus, dizzy from his self-induced hits staggered over to Amelia's side, struggling to keep upright as he awaited her next orders..

[[OOC; Level adjusted. Apologies. I work with a template and sometimes forget to change part of it left over from another battle. Also Ralts' gender isn't made known---I think I specifically refer to it as 'It' here. 'Her' is Amelia, as in Dionysus trying to 'tell her off' and 'awaited her next orders'.]]

[revolvingscott]

Erm...Dionysus isn't Level 10 he's Level 13. Also, this Ralts'll be Male (You referred to him as her).

---

And command she did! Noticing that Cubone's Headbutt had done quite a bit of damage, she saw no reason not to use it again.

"Dionysus, Headbutt the Ralts again," she commanded confidantely. Watching the Ralts carefully. She didn't want to hurt but then again, she wanted to catch it!

[artmage]

His blazing headache over the whole bussiness of psychic manipulation not quite over yet, he managed to make out the bare frames of what his mistress was attempting saying desite the fact that she was rather straightforward with her orders anyway.
She was asking for another Headbutt. Woman certainly seemed very predictable today.
Driving aside the nagging throbbing within the helm he wore, he nodded curtly and drew back several paces before getting the goddamn twinkletoed creature in his sights. It seemed to be dancing or floating or someting of the sort just a few inches aboveground, waving its paws at him as though saying 'Just Bring It!' The little smirk it had on its face did not make matters any better as the usually mellow Cubone felt his temper rising slowly.

He broke into a swift run, head held low to the point of impact with the creature's gut as he rammed into it forcefully so that the bkush 'helmet' blew up a litle to reveal he dilated pupils of a pair of melancholy-lookimg eyes.
For a second, he wondered vguely how ths creature saw with half its face hindered behind the hair or helm all the time, but he quickly brushed that aside just as he did the thing which he flung bodily into a nearby tree.
It tumbled clumsly into the undergrowth where it was silent for a few moments, but Dionysus was ready for its backlash this time, stripping off his guitar and sliding it towards Amelia so he couldn't harm himself too much with it as previously.

The moment the Ralts came out of the bushes looking like murder and surrounded once more with the purplish light, he knew what it was going to do. The familiar loss of sensation in his arms kicked up again as he began punching himself hard in the face; The skull helm helped avoid serious injuries however and he merely grit his teeth and bore it as well as he could until he heard the animal let out another groan to signify that it had run its course for this turn .....

[revolvingscott]

Amelia noticed that the Ralts was now starting to breathe heavier than usual and wasn't as swift and elegant as it had once been.

Dionysus retrieved his guitar from Amelia's feet before preparing himself for another Headbutt.

"Hold it! Nysee, I'm catching this Ralts," she said to the Cubone before reaching into her bag. From within the bag, her hand brought out a Great Ball that glistened in the sunligt.

"Let's rock this *****," she said under her breath before throwing it right at the Ralts that stood there, expecting Cubone's skull, not a Great Ball to tap it.

[artmage]

The moment the item smacked rudely into the Ralt's head, it let out a shrill squeal of indignance as it furiously rubbed the raw spot on its leaf-like helm mane. Shaking its fist at Amelia in irritation, it stopped its burst of outrage when a niggling voice at the back of its mind told it to have a good look at what the hell has been tossed its way. The Ralts did so and the moment it picked out the red-and-white hues of the ball's halves, it paled drastically in realization of what the device meant for it as it tried to make a run before that dread crimson light crept out from the confines of the Pokeball.
Its haste proved to be its undoing however as it tripped over the cloth-like material that made up its legs and fell flat on its face just as the familiar light engulfed its whole body and seemed to force it into some sort of lockdown.

"Raaaaaaallttsss!"
came the screech as it found itself slowly dragged into the Pokebal. It clawed and scrapped and pulled weeds out by the roots in an attempt to get a hold on something to escape, but resistance in the end was futile.
With a neat 'clack', the ball snapped shut and rattled violently in a manner that suggested the Ralts still wasn't giving up. It seemed to give in however mere seconds later as the device went completely still and Dionysus let out a deep sigh, playing a sort of impromptu melancholy victory song on his guitar which sounded somewhat like an old march.

Ralts was captured!

Although Amelia hadn't noticed it, over the course of the battle with Alejandro, the three of them had slowly been moving along the route. Thus, in the distance she could see a great, tall tower, Sprout Tower! She rushed towards it, looking forward to climbing this great building!
