Kevin started to chuckle as both Binacle were captured in a single attempt. He had little doubt Lei's Net Ball would succeed but his Ultra Ball attempt was far from a certain capture. He was thrilled luck was on his side however as his search for the rarest Pokemon in the Rock Pool was now complete. As he finished celebrating he finally realized Lei had asked him a question and after thinking for a moment he finally answered/ " Goodness it has been some time since I last checked but I believe the gym types in order are Flying, Bug, Normal, Ghost, Fighting, Steel, Ice, and Dragon. The normal type gym does use a Clefairy though so it is more of a Fairy and Normal type gym. Whitney is the next gym leader who I have to face so I will have to keep that Miltank in mind."As for her first question it took Kevin a bit longer to answer but after thinking about how to best respond without taking a whole day he finally responded. " I got Oracle here from her parents. I am in the military and her parents fought along side me for years. They wanted me to train their daughter Oracle and as such she has been traveling with me ever since. She is indeed quite a rare one and she was tough to raise from a little Riolu but it was well worth the effort." As Kevin finished telling his life story Oracle and Samantha both finally realized that they had totally missed Flynn trying to get their attention. Oracle spoke first as she was in a far better mood and Samantha had little patience for a water type about now. " So sorry that I missed you earlier, those Binacle took up all of my focus. I did not find anything else, it does seem that Kevin has found the last Pokemon were were searching for so we will probably head out soon." It was only when Samantha heard that they were probably about to leave that she grew quite excited hoping that where ever they went next that it would have a lot less water and water types to bug the poor Braixen any more. " Usually I do not talk to water types as I hate water but since we are leaving soon I can talk for a minute. You at least do not seem to be as unbearable as most water types. My name is Samantha and Oracle over there was the Lucario you were speaking to." Just as she finished speaking Kevin confirmed that Oracle had said as he started to pack up and get ready to head to another area. " Everyone, I think it is about time we head for another area. We do not want to get too greedy now that we have caught a Binacle. I hear Horsea have been spotted in another area and I would love to see if those rumors are true or not as they can ultimately evolve into a Kingdra and we could use a strong dragon type on our team."Samantha jumped for joy as Kevin and Oracle started to walk out of the water. Before they left however he said goodbye to the others and hoped to run into them at another part of the island. " I am afraid this is goodbye for now but I do hope we run into one another again. I will be making my way to Paradise Falls next and after that only time will tell. I have a feeling poor Samantha will hate this next area even more than this one." They all then made their way to the next area as Kevin started to think of a nickname for the Binacle he had captured. As he walked along the island he finally came up with something. " I think I will call you Private Boulder Breaker as I do think you and the other Binacle were quite skilled at attacking boulders."OOC: Kevin leaves the area and heads for Paradise Falls. Adding Private Boulder Breaker to Kevin's PC. BinacleName: Private Boulder Breaker Gender: Female Level: 8 OT: Kevin Baker Moves: Scratch, Mud-Slap, Withdraw, Water Gun Ability: Tough Claws Nature/Personality: Adamant, Private Boulder Breaker takes no prisoners and loves to get up close and personal.

Flynn's cheerful expression froze in place as he heard the binacles wishes and he looked down at the ground guiltily. "Sounds nice, but I fear that our trainers are going to separate you," he said slowly then shot them a weak smile, "at least you are going to stay together two and two?" Hi fidgeted, "I... I.." he stuttered as he didn't feel it appropriate to talk about food and what he liked to eat, and pretend they could help him, when they were going to be caught a moment later.
"Gosh, that felt wrong," Flynn mumbled and looked sadly as Kevin and Lei picked up their respective pokeballs. He glanced up at Oracle when the lucario talked to him, and he waved dismissively at her, "it doesn't really matter anymore," he said gloomily and studied her as he wondered how pokemon learned to be so indifferent against the wild pokemon, perhaps she hadn't heard what the binacles had said? Although, on the other hand she hadn't tried to distract them like he had. He squared his shoulders, "I'll just have to make up for it, somehow," he decided. He glanced at Samantha when she spoke, but he hadn't really talked with her other than greeting her, perhaps she was answering Blasty's questions from earlier?
"Miltank can be a challenge I have heard yes, I do have a plan," Lei said confidently and looked at Kevin with a raised eyebrow when he told where he got Oracle. "That isn't really helping me, its parents could be anywhere by now," she said dryly, "I did hope what you could tell could help me got one for myself." Riolus and lucarios were popular, it was rare to find someone who was just selling them. "Good luck!/" Lei called after Kevin as he left and she turned to Nate and looked around for Tristan. "So, what pool should we try next? I would not complain about getting a shellder or even a krabby," Lei said cheerfully and gestured to the rock pools which was littered around, leaving it up to Nate (and potential Tristan) to choose which one to check out.

Nate was interested in the battle and had taken a few mental notes on how they had battle. 'That is a shame as it would be interesting if your trainers decided to travel together to keep the Binacles together.' Blasty commented as he smiled slightly, since it was obvious that wouldn't happen. 'That sounds like a better idea.' He looked on confused about why the Oshowatt had stuttered since it had always appeared to be confident when it was in battle.
'You can't win everything, Flynn.' Blasty walked over to the other water type. Blasty looked up at the Lucario as it appeared to be powerful and would be a tough battle for any of his teammates if they ever had to face one in the recent future. 'Guess there is one thing for me to train towards.' He thought to himself.
Nate raised Luck up to his shoulder. Luck crawled onto Nate's shoulder and snuggled up to his neck since it was her spot. "I guess it is time to change out my Pokemon as the others need some training to." Nate looked down at Mothra in his other hand since he would be easy to train up and to evolve. "Maybe it is time to use Suntaro to train him up since this would be the perfect area to train." He looked over at the elder female when she asked about where to search. "Why not let our water types decide and see what they come up with?" Nate pulled out another poke ball. "Suntaro it is your time to energize." Suntaro appeared near to Nate. He bounced over excited to Blasty. 'Who are your new friends?' "Sorry for Suntaro's energy. He is a very energetic Pokemon." Nate rubbed the back of his head.

The pools were definitely teeming with life once more as the Pokemon all seemed to continue on with their normal lives. Small brown sea stars laid at the bottom of the pool mostly hidden by the iridescent blue waters that sparkled under the summer sun. Occasionally, they would lift one of their five limbs and wave it around lazily, before dropping it back on the bed of the pool’s floor once more. Small blue tadpoles playfully splashed around as they chased each other through the open waters of the rocky poolside. They would giggle and smirk, slapping the top of the water to spray each other in their strange version of tag. Still, yet, small crustaceans skittered across the rocky terrain, only pausing to check out hollowed out rocks for new homes, trading up one shell for the next. When Leilani and Nate neared them the Pokemon would all gasp in alarm and dart off in different directions. The sea stars plopped each of their five legs in rapid succession and stuffed their bodies down tiny, dark holes that had been carefully dug out in the bed of the forest floor. They would cautiously stick one hand out to check if it was safe, only withdrawing it when they felt that the humans were still too close. The bright blue tadpoles leaped up into the air and spun around to dive deep under the waters, swimming to the bottom of the floor and pressing behind large rocks to remain out of sight and out of the way. The rare hermit crabs scurried over the large rocks and disappeared far off away from the pool’s side as they scattered for safer grounds. Two large orange crabs with soft, almost white sandy-colored bottoms scurried over the rocky grounds after Nate and Leilani. Their visions narrowed defensively as they raised their large claws up towards the two and snapped angrily in the air. They would give chase almost immediately after the trainers, drawing them into a battle or snapping down on the softest parts of the humans’ bodies that they could get ahold of. The were swift on their nimble feet and would give Nate and Leilani barely a second’s breath to react, before trying to snap down on their feet and legs in search of anything that they could easily pinch. It was clear that the Krabby did not like the trainers being in their territory and would do anything they must to chase them back out. “Why are you here?” One asked. “We don’t want to disappear like the others!” The other hissed. Two Krabby appeared! Both Level 12. Leilani and Nate must decide what to do here. Spawns are for: Tarlar & nate. Shiny Babies? HSXjGr|I1-42 1-421-42·1-42

Arriving from Palm BeachAfter finally managing to add both a Wimpod and a Dwebble to his team, as well as saying his goodbyes to Zaiden, Shinya's work at Palm Beach was done. However, as strong as she had become, Shinya thought that his Joltik could use just one more boost in level and power. So, to that end, he returned to the Rock Pool for one more encounter. Of course, since Joltik hatched from her egg during his time at Palm Beach, this was Joltik's first time here. As such, she remained on her trainer's shoulder and looked all around, taking in as many new sights and sounds as she could. "Jol. Joltik. Jol." The Bug/Electric type commented on this new environment, very amazed by it. However, Shinya looked on with a rather annoyed look upon his face, seeing that things had become rather crowded at the Rock Pool while he was away. Fortunately, at that particular moment in time, all the other trainers seemed to be busy battling multiple wild Pokemon. So, taking full advantage of this opportunity, the Team Skull grunt walked into the shallow water and started kicking over rocks, searching for a wild Pokemon of his own while the other trainers in the area were distracted. "Looks like we came at a pretty good time, Joltik. Now, let's see what we can find while all these chumps are busy." After numerous tag battles with Zaiden, the Bug type trainer had absolutely no desire to team up with anyone else at the moment. No matter how much his opinion of Zaiden had improved since they first met.

The battling and commotion around the poolside caused most of the Pokemon to go into hiding. Even with the amiable weather bringing in gently rolling winds that helped to keep the environment cool, and the spacious watery front of the rock pool, many skittered off into different directions. When Shinya showed up and began kicking over the rocks that helped fortify and build their usual hiding homes, many of the Pokemon that might pop up would only dig further into the sand or pop up to race off before Shinya could react and stop them – by simply skittering to the next hiding spot and seemingly vanishing within a flash! Something stirred at the edge of the rock pool, where several small fragments of brilliantly painted stones seemed to shine and sparkle in the sunlight. Though most were smoothened by the gentle ebb and flow of the pool’s rising and falling tides, some still bore their spiky, sharp exteriors. The Pokemon hid and cowered with a shudder as its curled up tight and pressed against two large rocks. They conversed amongst each other, taking turned to grab random rocks and throw off into the distance as a distraction? Did it work? One of the hands would glance around the large slab that they hid under only to scream in alarm when they came face-to-face with Shinya and his team. Run!The Binacle jumped out from behind the slab and raced as fast as they could from the rocky side of the pool. They bounced on the rough terrain as they hopped, carrying the thick slab of stone that the two hands shared as a home with them. Occasionally, they would pause and glance around, trying to judge whether Shinya was able to keep up with them, then return to their quick-pace run. “Leave us alone!” Shinya would need to be quick – and possibly clever – to stop them from escaping his side if he wished to hold them hostage or even capture them. But, what would the strange lad choose to do now? A Binacle appeared! Level 10. Shinya must decide what to do here. Shiny? WNGfqj7v1-421-42

Lei groaned, just as much from pain as from Nate's continuing defense of the krabby but she was schooled enough to pretend it was from the leg, as she hold on to the sore spots. She grabbed Nate's hand, and his arm, and leaned heavily upon him as she struggled to stand up, which wasn't easy with a unusable leg and a very uneven ground. "Pull!" She urged and managed a grin even as her eyes watered from the pain, she refused to be a sitting duck. If she was badly injured it would be a big risk, far from any doctors, if she got an infection she would be in big trouble. Leaning against Nate, using him as support as she could not yet put any weight on the leg, she asked with a painful smile, "why are you so eager to defend the wild pokemon? In war its still human against human against, and pokemon against pokemon. If a pokemon runs wild and starts to randomly attack humans, its usually being chased down to stop it. It might protect its territorry or food or whatnot, but it should still focus on our pokemon, not us," She argued. "That's the difference between a trainer and a poacher, we fight them fair and square, they beat our pokemon and we withdraw and leave them be. We beat them, we might catch them, or leave them if not," she said and then grinded her teeth as she tried to take a few step forward to get her pokeball.
"I tell them to run, because they don't want to be friend with us," Flynn said solemnly, "you can't force everybody to be your friend, then its not a real friend, and you don't want fake friends." He would have answered Mothra and assured that he wasn't protecting her, but he soon got too busy as he certainly got the krabby's attention. "I. Didn't. Trick. You." He protested as he jumped here and there to avoid the rocks thrown at him. "I need to. Look like I'm hel. Helping my trainer!" He declared and winced as a rock brushed his arm when he stumbled over another on the ground. It wasn't easy to run around in an area like this. The krabby shouted its protests and the rocks stopped flying, he turned to look sadly as the pokeball sucked in the protesting kreabby, and would end its life of being a free pokemon against its will, and take it away from its younger friend. No matter if it wanted it or not, and it surely didn't want it, it would start a new life with a trainer. "I wonder how they will manage," Flynn mumbled and looked at Nate, "and how he'll handle it, it won't be happy."
Flynn felt a weird tingling in his arm and his eyes widened when a glow began to shine from his fur. He looked around frantically and then raced to the nearest pool where Lei's caught krabby's pokeball was still bobbing in the water and jumped in.
Lei tried to take another step towards the pool to retrieve her pokeball, when Flynn ran over the rocks and threw himself headfirst into the waters. "What is he up to?" She asked out loud, the water glowed and Lei narrowed her eyes. A pair of dark blue hands grabbed the floating pokeball and slowly the dewott rose from the waters with it held high above his head as an extra dramatic effect. It worked as Lei's mouth fell open at the sight of her newly evolved pokemon ascending from the waters, showing off his new form. "Flynn?" She asked and grinned when it couldn't be anyone else. He proudly made his way to her and presented her the pokeball which she took. "That was a nice surprise!" She said happily, forgetting all about the pain for a moment. She recalled him, not noticing his surprised and hurt expression and pocketed him. "Time to train someone else," she decided and looked around, still leaning to Nate, "If you can help me over and sitting on that rock, I'd be glad. Looks like it would be a decent chair, and then I'll leave it up to you to lure something else out for us," she said and clenched her teeth again as she was hopefully helped over to said rock.

Nate could tell that Lei was getting slightly annoyed over him defending the Krabby, he didn't believe that they had vicious intent in attacking the older woman. That would more than likely come from his upbringing where he believed that the only evil Pokemon type was poison type and no other type. But what Nate believed about the Pokemon types, could be totally different for someone else and vice versa. He let out a slight sigh of worry when he noticed the grin and watered eyes that she had from her leg. Nate listened to what Lei said and gave her a little pull to help her up onto her feet, hoping that it wasn't to serious of an injury. Nate did his best to remain straight so that she could lean on him for support. "I just feel like the only evil Pokemon type are poison types since they are the only type that I fear so I guess that you could say that my opinion is biased. If a Pokemon is running wild then there are normally a logical opinion on why it is running wild. Like if someone destroys the lake or home of a Gyarados it is going to go run wild destroying everything around it, but if you leave the lake alone then it is unlikely that the Gyarados will run wild. But if you take out the leader of a team then the others will fail to gain any morale for the battle." He countered. "That is true as a poacher will capture a Pokemon in a net or a trap and then just steal them regardless of if the Pokemon is wild or a trained Pokemon. They just don't care." Nate shrugged his shoulder that was on the opposite side of Lei so it wouldn't be a discomfort for the female trainer. He moved forward along with her as she moved toward her dropped poke ball.
'But how do we know they don't want to be friends with us? Maybe they just need to get to know us first.' Suntaro said confused. 'But we won't know until we try to be friends with them. Maybe they are just very reclusive in their lives and we just need to warm up to them.' Mothra was annoyed in being protected by Flynn, since how could he show that he was the better bug type Pokemon when Luck faces the wild Pokemon on her own, while he has to be protected by the other Pokemon. Mothra glance on confused as Flynn jumped here and there around the rocks thrown at him. 'But it looks like you are are helping out your trainer since you are doing exactly what she had told you to do.' She gently shook her head when the water type winced from having brushed against a rock. Mothra let out a breath he didn't realize that he was holding in when the Krabby disappeared into the poke ball and ended the battle only if it would be captured. He smiled gently when the ball chimed to indicate a successful capture. 'No one could know until the time comes.' Luck called out as she looked down at Flynn. 'But I am sure that Nate will think of something that would help him with bonding with the Krabby.'
Blsty cocked his head to the side when Flynn's fur began to glow for some reason and soon enough, the water type starter jumped into the water for some reason towards Lei's poke ball. 'Is he going to get the poke ball for his trainer?'
Nate took another step towards the pool next to Lei, not wanting her to put to much stress onto her injured leg. "I don't know." He looked down to his starter Pokemon. "Blasty do you know what is happening?" Blasty looked at his trainer and gently shook his head. Nate watched on as two dark blue hands grabbed the pokeball. "That isn't..." He started to say but then a new Pokemon slowly rose from the water with the poke ball raised high above its head. "Wow. Your Flyn must have evolved." Nate said impressed as it did look similar to what Flynn had originally looked like before he had jumped into the water. "So who else are you going to be training up?" He was interested to learn about what other Pokemon the female trainer had on her possession since he had only seen a handful of her Pokemon. "That is no problem. You need to rest your leg as I don't want you to make it worse by remaining stood on it as it could get a infection." Nate slowly walked over to the rock so that Lei could take a seat to relax. He turned back to his water type Pokemon. "Blasty go find a new Pokemon for us to face." Blasty ran over and jumped into the water and started to swim around to places he previously hadn't searched in.

Two Pokemon played in the cool, refreshing waters of the pool. One was a familiar crustacean that had been spotted all around the poolside, and another was a familiar tadpole that had been spotted periodically around the poolside. Still, they seemed oblivious to the humans that scoured the area and tried to snag up every Pokemon that they could in sight. Instead, the two played with each other and jumped in and out of the cool, refreshing waters as they chased one another. The large orange crustacean would scuttle up over a large, jagged rock and hop over to a smooth slab, before scuttling down and ducking inside of the water’s edge. The bright blue polliwog hopped around the side of the large, jagged rock and peered around in confusions as it lost its friend. The orange crustacean would snicker to itself as it swam up behind its friend. It swung its arms and slapped the top of the water, sending a large spray of water to hit the small tadpole from behind. As the blue polliwog jumped nearly five feet up into the air and spun around, the small crustacean would fall on its back in a fit of laughter. The crab wrapped its large pinchers around its waste and kicked its feet in the air while rolling back and forth while laughing as loudly as it could. “That was too funny!” The bright orange crustacean catcalled. “You’re a riot! An absolute riot!” It foamed at the mouth as large bubbles spilled from between its lips and frothed all over its face. The small blue tadpole puffed up, though it couldn’t help but to crack a smile. “I’ll show you what’s funny!” It laughed. It slapped the ground with its tail and send a slew of small pebbles and gritty sand flying in Krabby’s direction. As soon as the crustacean hopped back up on its feet to chase after its friend, the Poliwag raced off across the ground as the top of its feet. “Bet ya can’t catch me!” It declared, darting around the newly formed Dewott just before a bright beam of light zapped it away, and hopping over Blasty moments later. It would spin its tail around to slap Blasty gently on the head as it yelled, “Tag your it!” Then dart off past the poolside towards a small sapling nearby. Krabby would rush over to Blasty and tilt its head as it asked, “You wanna play? Then chase!” And would run away laughing its head off. Wild Krabby & Poliwag want to play a game!

Lei couldn't keep from smiling, Nate was so innocent and soft even if he had said somethings here and there that had hinted of a dark past he still had the childish thought that pokemon were sweet and could be taught by talking to them "I thought so too," she said with a sigh and a smile. She had so too when she was a kid and she had learned her lesson when the pokemon she had tried to pet and bit her. Nothing major and the pokemon had been chased off by her family's own pokemon and had been scolded thoroughly by her parents for not watching her close enough. It hadn't been the only instance but it had been the first. Nate seemed to think all pokemon were angels unless a human had trained them, Lei didn't want to argue with him even though she knew he was wrong. It would just destroy the mood and she wouldn't win anything by it, he probably learn at some point anyway and that wasn't her problem. "We'll never know," Lei said with pretended regret about why the pokemon had attacked her and then groaned, "yeah, we might be stuck here for months! My leg is either going to be healed or I'll be dead by then!" She doubted the last, but she might risk getting some ugly scars or damages which would give her trouble later in life now she couldn't get proper help right away. She smirked to Nate, "I had a teacher who taught us about healing and I didn't listen to a word he said, so I know as little as you do."
Lei raised an eyebrow, "don't you have a phone? We can always call each other if needed, or not you can leave a message at Nurse Joy who will spread it to the other Pokemon Centers for when the other arrive at one," she said as a matter of fact, "how are you planning on contacting the one you don't want to talk with?" She watched as Blasty returned with something he had found, "better keep quiet about it in the camp, some might not be able to avoid the temptation," she warned.
"If your pokemon are taking extra damage from an opponent, then they won't survive more than a few rounds unless you think outside just damaging rounds," The thirty year old woman said dryly, "I know that from experience. Oh, double team might not be as useful as Pidgeotto usaully has a very keen eye." She stared speechless at Nate for several minutes as he stated he didn't want to use super effective moves against Falkner, "but that's just even out the odds! Are you planning on using only bug type moves against the bird?" She asked in disbelief, "then you really need to get something to keep yourself going or weaken your opponent!" Nate was taking this much farther than she had ever imagined, what was he so keen on proving? She frowned as she tried to wrap her head around the thought, she hadn't used any tm's on the team which she had used to challenge Falkner with but that also hadn't been needed. She did plan on doing it before challenging Bugsy, if she could find a way to get Charm. She barely glanced at Levi when Nate pointed out the ralts had yet to touch the ground, she hadn't paid it much attention before or cared why it was so.
Leafshade looked puzzled at Suntaro, "really? You have never played games before? Not even when you had just hatched? Have you never had any friends to play with?" The sewaddle found it hard to believe that someone had never just run around for fun, especially someone as happy as Suntaro.
Asynje only managed a few steps before she stumbled over the rocks and had to fight to keep her balance, she frowned so much for trying to be faster. What now? She glanced at the poliwag and wondered if she could trick it and get closer. "You have never battled to defend yourself? That sounds nice," she said surprised, "I thought any wild pokemon would have to defend themselves." The poliwag decided to go for all of Levi's many copies and broke them all but the ralts himself stayed out of harms way and stayed dry. The heracross jumped startled when the tadpole lightly slapped her back as it rushed past her, she spun around and snatched it up with her horns and threw it away. "Take care! Thanks for the fun!" She called after them when the poliwag had wakened the krabby and they went on their merry way.
"You might be the one who are going to help others so they can handle some battles!" Asynje said with a grin and then frowned, "Yeah, but I need to pinpoint my mistakes to learn from them. I did fail miserably in running this time, these rocks make it hard, and I didn't quite get the hold I wanted on the poliwag so my throw was awfully crooked. I tried to sent it towards the krabby but you saw how far it had landed from there."
Leafshade had watched the shining nugget with interest, it wasn't a leaf or something he could sew into something but it could be a nice accessory and perhaps, just perhaps, the waters around here really did have something useful for him to use. He crawled to a pool a bit away and studied the kelp which waved under the surface, and attempted to shoot a string shot at it to pull it out of the water.

Nate knew that he was innocent when it came to how to raise Pokemon, the only way he knew how to raise Pokemon was when he was in the ninja clan and that was to have your Pokemon to gang up on Pokemon that can't inflict much damage to your Pokemon. But that was one thing that he didn't want to do so he would try out doing it his own way. "So what changed? If you don't mind me asking." Nate felt that there was more to what Lei had to say but he didn't want to push her for an answer if she didn't want to talk about it, since it could be a painful memory that she wouldn't want to talk about it to someone that she had only recently met. He knew that everyone was different when it came to raising Pokemon and it was interesting to hear how trainers do it differently to how he would do something. Nate knew that he still had plenty to learn when it came to Pokemon, since he was still fairly new to raising them on his own without any help from someone else. But there was only some things he would be able to learn on his own, so any help he could get from someone he would gladly take. "That is true." Nate let out a sigh of defeat since there was no telling why certain things happened. "Maybe it would be better if you remained here to battle any Pokemon that comes close to you while I go off to see if any of the trainers have any medical knowledge that could help you?" He doubt that he would be lucky to find someone that knew some medical knowledge to help out the female trainer, but he wouldn't know unless he went out looking for them. "In the past there would always be someone there for what ever we needed in order to accomplish the things whether it was patching us up from incidents with the poison types, to making the correct food for our Pokemon for us to take with us. But it is good that I am not the only one who didn't really pay attention to things though." Nate looked down at the ground briefly. "Even though I am avoiding them, I still know how to contact them without giving my location away. But it would be risky to do so it would only be as a last resort."
Nate looked at Lei slightly. "I don't keep a phone on me because the people who are looking for me could just find me via it. The only reason my previous partner managed to get hold of me to give me Mimosa to look after was because he had told Professor Elm to tell me to phone him, if I had returned to the lab and I just so happened to return. But if I do need help with getting a Dawn Stone then I will get Nurse Joy to pass along a message to the other Nurse Joys with hopes of one of them finding you in time." He couldn't help but to smirk slightly and move some things around in his bag to hide the item. "At least now I have something to look forward to doing when we get rescued." Nate took Lei's warning and hoped that it was hidden enough.
"I am lucky that none of the Pokemon that I plan to use against Falkner are quad weak to flying type moves so it wouldn't be to bad in a fight against the but it would be a tough battle." He let out a sigh at the female's next words. "I guess that strategy is out of the window then. But maybe a paralyzing or sleep along with a Leech Seed and then chipping away at the remaining damage. But there is always the risk of Falkner just swapping out the Pokemon though." "I am not an idiot. I am going to use moves that do neutral damage on the flying types like Confusion, Tackle and what not. So I wouldn't be at such a disadvantage against them." Nate knew that the fight would be a risky one but he might have luck on his side and be able to confuse the Pokemon into hitting itself. "I need to seriously train up my Pokemon and make sure they are as evolved as they can be before I challenge the gym." He knew that the more he travelled he would have to start thinking about giving his team TMs or even teaching them more variety of moves depending on what the next gym would be. Maybe even having a Pokemon that knew some entry hazard moves would be a useful thing to do in the long run? Nate was impressed that Levi still hadn't touched the ground and sort of understood why, since it didn't really like to get its skin dirty, but it was still levitating in the air with his own power even though he wasn't exactly powerful compared to his other Pokemon.
'With Nate we have Blasty who is so lazy and just likes laying down instead of doing anything, Mimosa doesn't really come out of her poke ball very often, Luck is always up on Nate's shoulder except for when we are all sleeping, Levi doesn't like to get dirty, and Mothra just wants to be better than Luck so they don't play with me. Most of my memories are from with Nate. I did play with Captain Ferret but Nate hasn't brought her along with him.' Suntaro looked on disappointed since he did want to play with the Pokemon.
Levi rolled his eyes slightly when Asynje stumbled over the rocks and had to stop itself from falling over. 'Why can't I be with a flying type?' He thought to himself. Levi looked on curious since the Poliwag did seem to be powerful but it hadn't battled to defend itself. 'So how are you strong then? You don't appear to be on the weaker side.' He stated. 'Or have you only battled to get stronger and you are the one who starts the battles?' Levi panted as his copy disappeared except for his real self receiving no damage. 'I guess that was luck on my part. I doubt I would have survived another attack from you.' He couldn't help but to smile slightly when the bug type Pokemon rushed forward to attack the water type wild Pokemon. 'That was a fun battle. I can't wait for my next battle.' Levi watched the two wild Pokemon go on their merry way.
'No one knows what the future will hold for us. There might be battled where I help the others and there might be battles where they need to help me.' Levi hoped that there would be a tough battle where Blasty faced a rock or steel type where it weakened it greatly but fell to the battle and he had to finish the battle. 'That isn't your fault as the rocks would make any Pokemon who needs to run across them to make mistakes no one is perfect. If you could fly or hover then it would help you greatly, or even if you could flaten the rocks so that you do not trip over them. You just need to work on your aim more.'
Nate pulled out three poke balls. "Levi, Blasty and Mothra return." The three Pokemon disappeared into their poke balls. "I reckon you should stay here and I will go and look for some help for you." Before Nate could hear Lei's responce he walked away from her to look for help.
OOC Nate left Rock Pool Levi forgets Growl and learns Confusion Suntaro forgets Ingrain and learns Razor Leaf

Several things swam underneath the tidal waves of the rocky poolside. Small blue tadpoles splashed their large paddle-like tails against the surface, sending brilliant droplets of water to spritz up and outwards in multiple directions. Small red crustaceans chased after each other while snapping their large pinchers to try and catch one another’s legs within their grasps. Strange brown star-shaped creatures crawled slowly across the rocky terrain of the pool’s bed. Their careful arms would agonizingly lift up, allowing each of their several suction pads to slowl pull away from the rocks they clung to, then shoot out to grip the grounds slightly further away, and slowly crawl in their desperate need to venture further underneath the water’s surface. Two Pokemon tossed smaller rocks at each other. One was a strange looking rock with two large barnacles jutting out from its base whose tops were shaped like odd hands fixed with sharp, rock-like claws at their tops. They wavered, bending over on their stalks to search around them until they managed to find small pebbles and smooth rocks that they would chuck at their opponent and laugh haughtily. The opponent was a small purple shelled bivalve mussel whose innards seemed to be a strange black creature with large eyes and a big red tongue it stuck out and blew raspberries with on occasion. It would hopped about in circles around it and use its long tongue to wrap around the small pebbles and smooth rocks, before hurling them after its opponent in turn.The strange hands-like barnacles picked up a strange grey rock with a small red crustacean hiding inside of its and chucked it at the bivalve mussel, who ducked. The small red creature screamed out in alarm and disappeared inside of the rock as it sped through the air and landed on the surface of the water with a loud plop, before sinking down into its murky depths. Something gurgled underneath the ripples. Small bubbles floated up from its murky depths and popped against the surface. Then, a high-powered shot of water propelled itself up out of the murky depths towards the two playful Pokemon, who jumped and hopped off in different directions, quickly hiding themselves away from the strange creature. Not to be thwarted, a large starfish jumped up out of the pool onto two of its five limbs and shook itself off, sending the sopping wet waters that clung to its body everywhere, before turning violently in Leilani’s direction. “You’ll pay for what you’ve done!” It warned Leafshade in particular of all the Pokemon gathered around the poolside. Wild Staryu is very angry with Leafshade! Level 15. Leilani must decide what to do here. Shine bright like a diamond or dim low like granite? eOEIMNzq1-421-42

Leafshade's expression darkened when the staryu began to ramble and complain about its life. "Why do you think I care?" He retorted, "If your life is so tough then find a trainer to catch you and live that pampered life you think we have, I have to work hard to get what I want, and right now I want to test that kelp out so move out of the way and leave me alone!" The sewaddle looked on the hardening staryu with a "is that all you got"-expression and rolled his eyes before he sent several leaves flying it, and more and more and more, right until it fell back and plopped back into the water. Leafshade was panting and the fury slowly cooled down and he moved warily closer to the water and peered in to see if the staryu was going to jump back up again. Then he began to shoot his strings at the kelp and pull it up on land to get a closer look at it.
Asynje had been running over the rocks as fast as she could over the uneven ground but slowed down to a halt when she saw the onslaught of the water type which quickly was knocked out. She glanced back at Lei to see what the trainer would say now her plan had been thwarted but Lei just stared openmouthed while a grin slowly spread on her face. "That was impressive!" The heracross said when the reached Leafshade, the sewaddle just shrugged and continued to work on pulling in the kelp. "A little help here?" He grunted and Asynje quickly grabbed and end and helped him pull it up. "What are you planning to do with it?" she asked and sniffed it only to look skeptically at it as it smelled weird and she wasn't sure if she wanted to eat it. "It might be good for me to use as a dress," he said cheerfully and chuckled when he saw her shocked impression. "I'm sewing clothes out of leaves you see, different kind of leaves gives me different kind of protection and I want to see what this one can do, when its dry of course." Asynje didn't know what to say about that.
"So much for thinking about catching some for selling," Lei said to herself although it didn't bother her much, it was nice seeing her pokemon show some strength. "That one would probably be too weak though," she said and wondered if there were any interest in pokemon like staryus, poliwags and krabbys seemed to attract more interest. She looked around, "I wonder if I can find any more now I'm stuck here," she mumbled as she and Nate had moved on when they had battled and caught pokemon in area, pokemon tended to clear an area if there were too much trainer activity. "Hey Asynje! Find something to battle and get it over here!" She called and then called out a shimmering white bug on which she slapped the exp. share. "Watch closely, I want you to battle soon," she told Lapis as she watched Asynje walk around looking, and then in the end cupping her hands around her mouth and shouting out, before looking around hopefully hoping some wild pokemon would answer her request of a battle.
(ooc: adding Lapis to the team and giving him the exp share to hold. Looking for an encounter)

Despite being a lover of the beach, Aphrodite did not know how much longer she would be able to last being secluded from some of the finer things in life. She enjoyed lying around in the sun and working on her tan and watching the shimmering azure water from afar. However, she was ready to step away and do other things. Unfortunately, her options were pretty limited right now. A few days ago, Aphrodite had befriended a Shroomish on the beach after helping her and her friends defeat an aggressive Pokemon, who had been bullying them for some time. Cappy decided that she wished to travel along with Aphrodite in order to grow stronger and protect others from bullies. Even though Shroomish do not have fairy as a typing, they are considered to be a part of the fairy-egg group and for Aphrodite, that was more than enough reason for her to accept Cappy's wish to join her team.
"This should be a good spot for us to do some training Cappy. I heard some trainers mention that this spot has lower-level water types that are perfect to train against. You'll be stronger in no time," Aphrodite smiled, glancing down at the Shroomish before shifting her golden eyes towards the small pool of water surrounded by smooth rocks.
OOC: I would like to swap Morellul out for Cappy the Shroomish. I would also like to remove EXP Share and place in Aphrodite's bag for now. Replace Mimikyu with Alolan Ninetales.

The rocky pool teemed with life even with the stomping feet of random trainers rushing all around its domain. The shouting from voices and near-constant battles sent just as many curious faces crawling closer as it sent skittish faces rushing off across the rocky terrain towards safer areas. Some of the large granites wobbled against the hard ground, evident of Pokemon that snuck underneath the earthen ground below. Even if Asynje or Cappy tried to rush over and flip them over, the Pokemon that lurked underneath the ground would have disappeared in an instance, leaving the Pokemon empty-handed at each and every turn. The Pokemon that lurked near the edges and watched them, watched with wide and fearful eyes as they murmured to themselves. What did they want? What was their purpose? The Pokemon shook and shivered, fighting with each other over the best spots to hide. A small purple bivalve mollusk gobbled up a large pile of sand and spat it at a small brownish-grey rock with a tiny orangish-red bug sticking out from a hole in its side. “Leave!” It hissed in a loud whisper, managing to smack the small reddish-orange bug in the face and in its claws. The small hermit crab skittered back and forth, shaking its head, and pulling small pebbles up inside of its claws that it would chuck at the other Pokemon mercilessly. “No! I wanna hide there!” It snapped demandingly, unwilling and unable to let the Shellder have the best spot. How else would it avoid the inevitable human’s wandering eyes?! Asynje would notice the squabbling Pokemon in no time and undoubtedly rush over to try and round them up for her trainer. The two turned with wide eyes towards the large blue bug whose long, almost shovel-like horn jutted out of the center of her head. Dwebble leaped behind Shellder and shoved its ‘friend’ towards Asynje with its pinchers. “Ha-have th-this Shellder!” It squeaked and ducked inside of its shell. Shellder spun around and clamped down on one of Dwebble’s legs and tossed it up high into the air, landing in between Cappy and Asynje. “Have the useless Dwebble! Shh…don’t let your owner see me, though!” It squeaked and tried to hide back inside of its shell. It seemed neither were too keen on fighting, though when they weren’t left along both would begin chucking rocks and bits of sand at Asynje and Cappy in turn to try and scare them away. Wild Dwebble & Shellder appeared! Levels 11 & 14 respectively. Decide what Leilani and Aphrodite will do here. What will it be now? GEfo_Thw1-42 1-421-42·1-42
