Marchbaby was dumbfounded by Silver's comments. He for one knew just how strong his brother was and he could not help but to feel a bit sorry for the young man for thinking Team Rocket. Having witnessed a Team Rocket grunts Cranidos nearly kill Kamikaze's mother there was a lot more to the evil organisation than Silver knew. " I can tell you right now they are far more dangerous than you know. My Weavile could easily vouch for their strength even though she hates them to the very core having nearly killed her mother. If we should meet again I think I should introduce you to her but for the time being I will be using Cannon Fodder again."
The bug type rolled back over to a proper position ready to act as a shield again for the team but like before Marchbaby had a plan. He was giving his Pokemon a small taste of battle so it would become a few steps closer to evolving and then he would switch out again for another one of his Pokemon. " As much as I want to use Cannon Fodder to show how flawed your way of thinking is I think introducing you to the most evil spirit I have ever had the displeasure of meeting is a better idea. Cannon Fodder you have done well so far. Let's give Atropos a chance to say hello." The ghastly white specter wasted no time making her presence known as she took Cannon Fodder's place. Still as heartless as could be she began to speak.
" What in the hell could you possibly want with me now? Can a girl not have a damn day to herself without a guy screwing something up and me having to set things straight? For Arceus's sake bug someone else already." Before she could escape into her Pokeball to avoid helping out Silver's Gastly caught her eye and she was not exactly a fan of any ghost Pokemon owned by a human. " You look lost, hell is about ten miles beneath us so start digging now and you might get there by Armageddon and take your owner with you as it is such a lovely place for rejects such as yourselves." Marchbaby just face palmed as he listened to her speech not believing his ears. All he wanted to do was get this battle over with so Silver might learn a nice lesson or two. " Atropos please just use Shadow Sneak and do not make this difficult."
Ooc: Keeping Cannon Fodder's current moves. Using the free switch in Marchbaby sends out Cannon Fodder before recalling him and replacing him with Atropos who uses Shadow Sneak. Also as a side note Mean Look no longer works on ghosts as of gen VI and Insomnia will protect Atropos from Hypnosis.

"Wah wah, spare me your sob story. Team Rocket is full of imcompetent nitwits and I'll be sure to crush every last one of them. If you keep yapping like that, you'll be nothing but a step in my path to glory," Silver muttered, wondering why the other trainer acted as if he should care about what Team Rocket had done to his Pokémon. Clearly they were as inept as he thought if they couldn't even finish off a Pokémon properly. Rolling his eyes at Cannon Fodder as the Pineco moved into position, he shot a withering glare at his Gastly and thrust a hand out to point at their opponents. "What, do you need me to baby you the entire time? Stupid spirit. Use Lick, then!" the redhead growled in exasperation. If Gastly hadn't been semi-corporeal, it likely would've gotten a solid chuff across the back of its head for dawdling around.
Sensing Silver wasn't in a mood to be trifled with, the specter floated forwards in an almost leisurely way, hesitating only slightly when Atropos replaced Cannon Fodder in battle. Her speech, however, did succeed in giving Gastly pause enough to chance a worried look back at Silver. Fortunately for the Ghost-type, its trainer was too busy pinching the bridge of his nose to stave off a bout of fury to notice. Sweeping in close to Atropos, Gastly extended its long tongue and rushed at her, effectively slapping the albino Shuppet. Shrieking in a mixture of anger and disgust, Atropos gave herself a savage shake to send flecks of saliva flying off.
Leveling a murderous look at her foe, Atropos' body took on a sinister glow as she worked her ghostly power, causing her shadow on the cave floor to stretch out and up. The shadow slammed into the unsuspecting Gastly's underside, a blow so powerful that it fainted before it hit the ground. Silver let out a muffled roar, hand flying out to recall his second fainted Pokémon before he pinned Marchbaby with a scathing glare. "You think you've got me backed into a corner, huh? Guess again. Chikorita, teach this simpleton a lesson!" he growled, releasing his last Pokémon. Waving her leaf around aggressively, Chikorita's red eyes were baleful as they fell upon Marchbaby and his team, ready to claim victory at any cost.

Atropos was more than just disgusted by the lick attack and when it came time to deliver her revenge she did not hold back at all knocking out the specter in a single hit. She was still disgusted that it had licked her but she had proven her point. " You lick me I drag you to hell. Now who is the next one who wants to get their ass handed to them." She said as she waited for Silver to send out his next Pokemon. As soon as Marchbaby saw which Pokemon it was he was quick to recall Atropos as he had a plan in mind that might just help Cannon Fodder get a step closer to evolution.
" Take a rest for now Atropos you have done well. I think Cannon Fodder will finally get a chance to show you what he is made of after all." Realizing the Pineco had the type advantage and the constant switching out had allowed him to grow a considerable amount from when he first received him. Pineco were not known for their fighting prowess however this was one of the few cases that it could actually be useful and Marchbaby was quick to capitalize on that fact. Cannon Fodder took his place ready to finally show Silver a thing or two about determination and just how useful his kind could be in the right situations.
Atropos just floated quietly next to Blubber while Bonecrusher started to ram one of the caves walls with his head to pass the time as they waited for the next round to start. " I just love you arrogance after two of your Pokemon were knocked out in a single blow. I hate having to harm a Chikorita as it is my favorite Pokemon however if it is the only way for you to see the errors of your ways I guess I will have no choice. Cannon Fodder are you ready to prove to this disrespectful prick that every Pokemon has a moment that they can shine." He could hardly move without tipping himself over but the look on the Pineco's face was enough to convince him that it was time to break pen the can of whoop ass.
" This will be your first battle without help but I have faith that you will do great. Give this poor Chikorita everything you got with Bug Bite." He said as he hoped that Cannon Fodder would find a way to win.
Ooc: Keeping Cannon Fodder's current moves. Using the free switch in Cannon Fodder is sent out and uses Bug Bite on Chikorita.

While Silver looked rather unruffled on the outside, he was inwardly seething over losing two of his Pokémon so quickly. He'd gone into this battle expecting to fight something pathetically weak, such as the snot pile of a Pokémon and wound up getting trounced in quick succession. "So what if they both fainted? I'll just beat them into doing better next time. Nothing like pain to motivate a weak Pokémon," Silver snorted, brushing off Marchbaby's amusement at his predicament. But when Cannon Fodder hopped forwards to enter the fray, a gleam entered Silver's eyes, knowing he had a chance to turn things around. If Chikorita failed him now, well... "Tackle it. Knocking it down will stop your stupid pinecone in its tracks," he ordered with a curt nod at the Grass-type.
Having been subject to Silver's fury over poor battle performance, Chikorita was raring to prove just how strong she really was. Lowering her head and scraping at the cave floor once, she was off like a rocket and quickly ate up the distance between her and Cannon Fodder. His limited mobility was a curse in this moment, although the Pineco wasn't too concerned with that. Chikorita's incoming attack would put her in close proximity to him, and he would have to act quickly to strike back. Bracing himself, Cannon Fodder tilted backwards precariously as Chikorita slammed into him with the crown of her head. His multi-layered body proved ultimately effective in warding off the worst of the damage, and best of all, the momentum as he sprung back was all he needed.
All Marchbaby and Silver could see was the Pineco thrashing against Chikorita and the Grass-type crying out in pain as hidden, sharp teeth tore into her. Stumbling back as Cannon Fodder dropped off, she spared an aplogetic look to her trainer before her legs gave way. "Oh, you can celebrate this small victory now, you pompous oaf. But when I find you again, you'll be groveling at my feet," Silver growled in a deeply furious tone, recalling Chikorita to her ball and storming off into the darkness once more. In his wake floated a few bills of money, forgotten in the redhead's haste to retreat from this humiliating defeat.

Marchbaby thought that this teen must be a long lost brother with how close his personality was to Tyler. The horrible level of respect he showed to his Pokemon was sickening and it was about time he was taught a lesson. " You truly are heartless. You are my brother are the scum of the earth and I look forward to forcing you to see how showing respect to Pokemon brings out their true power." Watching the next round unfold he was thrilled when Silver's final Pokemon went down in a single blow. He was especially proud that Cannon Fodder had won without help proving even a Pineco could have moments of glory. As Silver spoke of his defeat Marchbaby looked forward to their next meeting.
" I certainly hope your next attempt is not as pitiful as this one. Next time you run into me you had better bring your best as I sure will. Kamikaze would probably love to have a go at you." After Silver stromed off Marchbaby picked up the money the teen-ager dropped and put it in his pocket believing it to be prize money for his victory and with his shortage of funds he was not going to turn it down. Afterwards he began to look for the exit as he was just about done training and he wanted to pay another visit to the dark cave to find the one Pokemon he had not encountered the last time but as he located the exit he decided to find one more thing to battle before he would leave.
" I know we have visited most of the cave that we can explore for the time being but I am feeling lucky. I want to battle one final time before we go back to the dark cave to find the elusive Pokemon we could not bump into last time." Having made up his mind to stay for one last battle he was not sure wether he should walk through the cave again trying to find something he missed or if he should hang near the entrance and hope something would catch his eye. Having walked through most of the cave already he was pretty sure he had not missed much and so after debating with himself a moment he chose to stay near the entrance as the cave was a popular area and it was the most likely spot for him to have one last battle in the cave.
Ooc: I added the exp total to Cannon Fodder for reaching level 25. March goes to the cave entrance and waits to hopefully have an encounter.

As Marchbaby got closer to the entrance a light was visible ahead. It was a bit odd since the entrance shouldn't be that close, should it? As Marchbaby got closer, a ring of purple-blue-ish flames drifted towards the roof of the cavern, quickly followed by a flamethrower which shot right through its middle. "ha ha, to je stvarno dobar, vulpix" A man laughed as he stepped forward to look at the soot marks at the stone. The Vulpix followed him, while flicking her tail with pride. "Uskoro ćemo biti spremni da učestvuju u Goldenrod, moj drug." He said warmly and bend to stroke the vulpix head, she almost hummed with pleassure and nudged his hand to try get him to scratch her ears. "Haha, ti stvarno volim to, zar ne?" He chuckled before he did as she pleaded, before he rose again and looked firmly at her, though he was still smiling. "Dosta, ne mogu da te cijeli dan, moramo trenirati, znate." He said and then noticed Marchbaby. "Oh, imamo društvo!" He said with a grin and waved to the other trainer. "Ja sam Firebreather Ray, želite li da se bore?" He called out and waited for the answer. If the answer didn't come straight away, or if Marchbaby looked just the slightest confused, he would frown. "Me no speak english, Talar du svenska? Ou en français? Podemos intentar Español demasiado?" He asked in different languages as he tried to find a way to make his wish clear to Marchbaby, and if he got a recognizion in any of the languages, eh would try continue in that, if not, he would scratch his head and simply ask, "Combate?"Firebreather Rey are trying to make himself understandable. He has a vulpix |level 14|, perhaps he wants to battle? Chose a pokemon?(ooc: all with the help from google translate, languages as following: bosnian, swedish, french and spanish)

Marchbaby was startled by the dazzling display of flames as it did not seem to be a natural display. It was not long after that he could hear someone speaking in a language he did not understand. English was the only language he was fluent in and as the stranger appeared in front of him Marchbaby was unsure what to do. As the man made it clear he did not know English Marchbaby tried to speak in what little German he knew hoping to find common ground. " Wie heisen Sie? Ich heises Marchbaby. I komme aus Blackthorn City." As he paused for a moment he began to think the man was trying to ask for a battle. The man's Vulpix appeared ready for a battle and despite the language barrier he was not going to turn down a chance to give Cannon Fodder some practice.
The pinecone Pokemon had not seen a lot of battles without help from Marchbaby's other Pokemon and Vulpix had a type advantage here but Marchbaby was determined to give the bug type a chance to truly show his stuff. As he rolled into position in front of Marchbaby without the young man even saying a word Cinnamon turned away not wanting to watch still as terrified of battles as even while Shellshocker looked on hoping the Pineco would be able to pull off a upset. Marchbaby was still trying to think of a way to overcome the language barrier but as his mind had still drawn a blank he was left with no other choice but to hope that as the battle got underway he would be able to communicate with the man in a way that could be understood.
" I really wish I could understand you as I enjoy speaking with others. Maybe we can find a way to do so during a battle which I hope is what you were asking for." With little else to say without wasting time Marchbaby decided to get the battle underway. Cannon Fodder silently watched his foe from a distance waiting for the right moment to strike as movement was not something he specialized in and he could not afford to waste his energy by jumping the gun. As the bug grunted signaling his readied state Marchbaby issued his attack order. " Cannon Fodder I take it you are ready to go? Alright then let's start things off with Take Down to start things off."
Ooc: Marchbaby sends out Cannon Fodder who uses Take Down.

Language barriers caused all sorts of issues, but the language of battle was universal. It was almost like a dance all trainers knew and respected, opening up the possibilities of battle to anyone, from anyone, from anywhere. Although March nor Ray could understand eachother, the battle would progress and execute itself with almost no issue whatsoever. It was almost poetic, although Ray did seem a little put off that out of all the languages he knew, and could speak, March didn't know a single one of them. When March came back with another language, he perked up immediately. " Deutsch Oh, Sie sprechen?" He lit up like, well, a firebreather. "Nicht viele Menschen sprechen Deutsch." He remarked, ushering his Vulpix in front of him for the battle. The fox wiggled her tail and spat out a little bit of fire for effect. "Ja! Das ist der Stil, den wir suchen!" Ray complimented his Pokemon before turning to the Pokemon that March had sent out. "Das sieht ein wenig hart. Aber wir können es nehmen, richtig Vulpix?" He grinned, pounding a fist onto his chest in a grand gesture of showmanship. Vulpix wiggled her tail and barked. "Glut!" Ray called out, and then turned his attention back to March. "Sie sind weit weg von zu Hause, Blackthorn Stadt." He grunted, watching Vulpix scatter her fiery embers around the Pineco. When it attempted to move or even shift itself, the flames licked at it's body, causing it a decent amount of pain. However Pineco wasn't finished, and Cannon Fodder stayed true to his name. Rocketing forward, the Pineco slammed into Vulpix, ignoring the pain that it caused him. The impact knocked the fox right out, and Ray erupted into a slurry of words March didn't recognize, but would understand them to be... less than savory. "Vulpix! Wir müssen Sie geheilt werden!" Ray glowered over at March, and then allowed his gaze to soften. "Du gewinnst. Bitte genießen Sie Ihre Gewinne und ich hoffe, Sie auch weiterhin zu reisen." He smiled, returning Vulpix and leaving March with the prize winnings. Ray's Vulpix - Level |14| Health: 0/38 Current Status: *hrk* Successful Ember! Marchbaby's Cannon Fodder - Level |25|
Health: 45/67 Current Status: Well, you're taken down. Successful Take Down!
Cannon Fodder defeated Vulpix, and has gained +1050 exp from the battle! (+350 with Lucky Egg!) Ray, in disgruntled fashion, handed over £288 to the winner... Tyger is not responsibile for anything Google Translate messed up. Money already updated ~ Tyger

Marchbaby was stunned that Cannon Fodder's attack was able to bring down the Firebreather's Vulpix with just a single attack. Pineco were far from the strongest Pokemon physically speaking but it was one of the two areas along with their physical defenses that allowed them a niche usage and in this case it more than paid off. Before he could say a word the Firebreather had already ran off likely to heal his Pokemon and he could not blame the man for doing so as the Take Down looked really painful. Nonetheless he was quite proud of Cannon Fodder for winning the battle. He now knew the pinecone shaped Pokemon could hold his own in a fight and that might just prove useful later on. For now however he had to make a choice. Should he leave the cave and head towards the Dark Cave still or head back towards Azalea?
As he gave the issue more thought it became apparent that going back to the Dark Cave was most likely a waste of time since he had encountered most of the Pokemon there and he was more worried about getting ready for his next gym battle than he was catching a Pokemon that may or may not help him in his quest anytime soon and so he began to walk through the cave again slowly making his way towards Azalea. He was unsure exactly what he would do once he got there however one thing was for certain and that was he needed to make a few changes to his team once he got to the Pokemon Center so he could start training his secret weapon.
As happy as he was with his current team if what he had heard about the next gym was true they would not stand a chance in their current state however once his secret weapon received some training along with an old friend he should finally be ready to take on his next gym leader. After walking through the cave and exiting on the Azalea side he entered the towns Pokemon Center and made the necessary changes to his team. Cinnamon and Shellshocker were placed into the PC and in their place Shocker and newcomer Honeysuckle were placed in his party. Excited to give his Heracross a go he headed for Route 33 hoping to find some good trainers or Pokemon to let her get some good practice.
Ooc: Cinnamon and Shellshocker are switched out for Shocker and Honeysuckle. Updating myself.
