One lump or two?[F]

[Morrigan]

Spluttering and shivering after being attacked by the giant bubbles created by Blubber, the young Starly shook it's body in order to fluff up it's wet feathers. Not baring any grudges, if anything, the avian looked ready to get straight back into the fray and continue it's exchanging of moves with the squishy Goomy. But it didn't take long for Marchbaby to decide otherwise, picking up on the wild Pokemon's worth. It certainly wasn't a common sight for the first section of Johto and with a bit more training and polish, it could evolve into something further. So as far as the trainer was considered, Blubber had done her bit of battling and now it was time to round things off in a less painful manner.

Preparing a Great Ball from his belongings, the brown bird tilted it's head to the side curiously. It had usually lived in the tree tops, avoiding going to the ground below in order to avoid situations just like this one. But it was almost certain it had seen an object similar to that before but it was simply red and white. As the bird flapped it's wings whilst in deep concentration, it completely missed that the capturing device had been thrown. Popping open as it tapped against the body of the bird, Starly was dragged inside and the ball slowly fell to the ground. Shaking from left to right, the question at this point was always; is it going to be a success?

WIGGLE.

WIGGLE.

WIGGLE.

TING!

Congratulations!
Marchbaby has successfully captured the Starly!

The wild Starly was successfully captured and with it, Marchbaby and his Pokemon were able to continue their way of both training and tracking down Tyler. After receiving both an apricorn and a Pokemon from the nearby tree, it was unlikely that anything else would be appearing from another Headbutt for some time to come, so for now, he had to rely on regular encounters. This next one, in fact, coming to Marchbaby itself. As he had gone to retrieve the thrown Great Ball, a loud nattering sound called out from behind him and as he turned, he would've been able to see a female Nidoran. Earlier she had ran away out of fear of being headbutted but with the appearance of Blubber, the wild creature figured it's poison could easily pierce through her soft body. Battle hungry, the Nidoran dug her claws against the earth repeatedly, ready to start the battle herself if Marchbaby hesitated any longer.

As he recovered the Great Ball containing the Starly Marchbaby could hear a scraping noise coming from behind him. As he turned to look the female Nidoran who had run off earlier had returned and it looked like this time she wanted to fight. " I did not expect to see you return so soon. I take it you would like to battle this time? I would not mind a battle at all if that is what you want but Blubber here just got finished a with a battle and she needs to rest a bit as young dragons tend to tire out quickly after a fight. I do have other Pokemon who can battle you however." Without saying another word Cannon Fodder jumped in front of him wanted to fight again. He wanted to prove himself yet again and with how determined Nidoran was she seemed like a good opponent to face.

The bug type had grown considerably stronger since Marchbaby had first received him from a friend and with how close he was to evolving any battle to make him stronger was welcomed. Cannon Fodder was not afraid to take a hit and Nidoran looked like she was ready to charge forward and poke whatever she could with her venomous horn. Having such a thick body and high endurance Cannon Fodder though even if the horn managed to prick him he would not only shake off any effects of the incoming attack but also have the strength to fight back. He bounced up and down in excitement just waiting on Marchbaby to give him an order so he could show the young Nidoran what happens when you pick a fight with something far stronger than itself.

" Cannon Fodder you do know how dangerous a Nidoran's horn can be don't you? It can cause a lot of damage if it's horn pierces you. If you think you can handle it though I will not stop you. Just be careful as I do not want you to get hurt. I know you have a lot of protection but a lucky hit can still cause a lot of problems." Knowing that the bug was as hard headed as Bonecrusher there was no way he was going to talk him out of this battle. He was not too sure how much longer Nidoran would wait before striking either and so he quickly ordered Cannon Fodder to attack. " Cannon Fodder use Take down on Nidoran."

Scratching her front paw against the earth impatiently, the reappearance of the Nidoran proved fruitful for Marchbaby, as once again, he had found some training fodder for his own Cannon Fodder. The Pineco hopped into position and deep down, the female poison type was atleast pleased she didn't have to face the rock hard Aron from moments earlier. The Pineco looked easy to pierce with her horn but the iron body of Bonecrusher, not so much. Hard headed in terms of not back out from battle, Cannon Fodder still offered himself for the battle despite Marchbaby's worries, not that the trainer had much to worry about. The Nidoran was still very young and with it, came an instant victory on his part.

Presenting great speed, the Pineco bounded forward, stunning the female Nidoran on the spot. Her jaw slightly ajar at this simple opponent now looking like more of a risk, the poor dear still felt she had the chance to win. Bucking her back legs as if preparing a swift kick or two, Cannon Fodder wasted no time in tackling down his opponent both effortlessly and recklessly. Bringing up a bit of a dust cloud as the collision happened, by the time it settled once more, it was clear to Marchbaby that his own Pokemon was the clear victor this time.

As the battle came to a close, within minutes the female Nidoran awoke and with tears swelling in the corners of her eyes, dashed into the nearby undergrowth to flee the feeling of utter defeat. Her rustling of the bushes attracted the attention of another Pokemon, however, who rather coolly slid it's way out from the bushes. Elegant not only on the surface of water but also on ground, the Pokemon commonly known as Surskit glided across the ground directly in front of Marchbaby and Cannon Fodder. Although it wasn't hostile by any means, the Pokemon still decided to stay within attacking distance, oddly scooting closer and closer to the trainer and Pokemon combo with a look of intrigue.

As the Nidoran ran off with tears in her eyes Marchbaby was a bit upset as the battle was not exactly one she had a decent chance of winning once he saw Cannon Fodder take off. She would at least hopefully learn her lesson not to pick a fight without being sure of her opponents strength. Just as he thought they were alone again he saw a Surskit come out in front of him. The bug type Pokemon were pretty fast but not very intimidating. Cannon Fodder was ready to battle again before Marchbaby could even try to talk him out of it. As both Pokemon were bug types it would be a bit interesting to see Cannon Fodder battle something that should not pose too much of a threat.

" Well I know who I will be using for this battle as it is clear this Surskit has taken an interest in you Cannon Fodder. Surskit is really fast so I highly doubt you will outpace it however you should have far greater physical strength and endurance. Use those two to your advantage this round and you might not have too much trouble." The pine cone Pokemon did not even pay attention to a word he said and instead looked at his next foe with the intention of taking a nice bite out of it. He could feel his strength rising and with evolution seeming to be close Cannon Fodder wanted to give it everything he had so he could evolve as soon as possible.

" I know how much you want to evolve but still do not make the mistake that poor Nidoran made. The last thing we need is an emergency Pokemon Center visit because you bit off more than you could safely chew. I still feel bad for that poor thing even if she was asking for trouble by picking a fight so recklessly." Sensing that the bug was growing impatient and as it was a slightly higher level than Nidoran Marchbaby thought Surskit should make more a decent amount of experience for Cannon Fodder and he did not want to wait any longer to see the results of the first round. " I have held you up enough Cannon Fodder. With how many hits you have taken for the team I trust you if you think you can handle something. I already know you want to put those teeth of yours to good use so try a Bug Bite on Surskit." He said waiting on the two Pokemon to make their move.

Cannon Fodder knew he was strong and a sturdy Pokemon, and Marchbaby didn't really need to tell him that. However, the bug still appreciated hearing that, because he knew that the Surskit was gonna get bit whether or not Marchbaby complimented him. Hopping forward, the nibble-happy Pokemon took a bite out of this Surskit. Thankfully the Surskit wasn't crunchy and weak like a celery stick, or a part of its body would have been gone! The opponent bug type was struck by the impact and sheer power of the Pineco's Bug Bite that it was terrified and ran away.

The Pineco paused on his position after his Bug Bite, trying to figure out how did the Surskit tasted differently compared to how he felt from using Take Down on the Nidoran earlier. On the outside, the Pineco seemed like it was staring at empty space after the attack. It wasn't as sharp and furry from tackling the Nidoran. Instead, the Surskit was a little crunchier but harder compared to the softer Nidoran body. Pineco rated this a 7 out of 10, and then made a frowning face about the Surskit. Next, he went for a smile because he would be glad to evolve sooner.

With another victory over the Pokemon calling the area home Marchbaby was really feeling awful that his Pokemon outclassed anything he battled. Cannon Fodder could just use brute force and defeat anything that tried to take a stand against him. With his evolution only a few more levels away however and with him lacking in special defense Marchbaby had no choice but to stay on the route and train him until he evolved into a Forretress so he could be ready to fight Mania up ahead. The fox would be a huge thorn in their side and it would take everything he had to beat the troublemaker. In the mean time there were more things to battle on the route and marchbaby welcomed anything that would try their luck against him.

Cannon Fodder sure did not mind as he had gained a lot of levels by fighting weaker Pokemon and it did not matter to him one bit who he fought next. The bug thought he was unstoppable as nothing could score more than a single hit on him before going down to a single blow. Bonecrusher and Honeysuckle were even feeling quite happy for the bug as he had learned fast and Bonecrusher now had a ramming buddy who copied his favorite method of battle. Atropos still refused to say a word but the rest of the team could not wait to find something else for Cannon Fodder to battle as they wanted to see all of his hard work pay off.

" We are so close to helping you evolve Cannon Fodder. Just a few more battles should be all that it will take for your hard work to show when you evolve. Once you do my brother should have quite a hard time trying to stop you as you will be the perfect combination of types to stop Mania in her tracks. Honeysuckle will be a huge help as well with her typing however Atropos will not stand a chance against her as tough as she thinks she is." Atropos did not pay him any attention and instead just looked around hoping to find something ti do to pass the time until the upcoming fight.

She just wanted the whole route painted crimson with the blood of both brothers and their Pokemon so she could bask in the glory of their rivalry. The outcome did not matter to her but she had to wait for Marchbaby to finish traing first and she hoped something else would show up soon.

[Morrigan]

As Marchbaby and his team continued to explore the area for more wild Pokemon to train against, Cannon Fodder was beginning to bounce around with impatience. He could feel that evolution was not too far off, he just needed a little bit more of a push to get the final burst of experience that he needed. Luckily, those around him were giving the Pineco great support but it was the feeling of clashing and blunt impact that would truly help push his power over the boundaries. Whilst he was strong against the young Pokemon in the route, if it had been anywhere closer to Goldenrod, then the pine would've likely struggled. Wild Pokemon only became bigger and badder, so it was a good call for Marchbaby to venture off to a weaker route, which Cannon Fodder could build up experience in his own pace as well as confidence.

Their exploring continuing, Atropos found herself floating around in almost a bored manner. Her wispy white body following the flow of the surrounding breeze, her eyes glanced from bush to tree, picturing it in a mere sea of red. Only, her absent mindedness would cost her, as whilst she floated by, her unusual appearance had caught the attention of something else. Thinking her to be some kind of floating bag in the breeze, from behind the group, a wild hound emerged with a howl from a section of bushes. It's eyes solely focused on Atropos, the wild creature dashed past Marchbaby and the rest of the group and approached the Shuppet from behind. Fangs blazing, the dark creature known as Poochyena lept into the air towards her with spread fangs.

A wild Poochyena (Level 15) has appeared!

[Deleted]

Marchbaby and most of his Pokemon were so busy celebrating that they did not see Poochyena coming until the dark type was only a very short distance away from Atropos who had not seen the canine coming as she continued to daydream. " Atropos look out behind you. There is one nasty looking Poochyena. It does not look like it wants to be friends if anything it is trying to take a bite out of you." He said as Atropos truend around to see the hound leap into the air. Using a bit of quick thinking she dashed out of the way at just the last moment. She was in no mood to battle the creature however. As she looked at Marchbaby she finally spoke again.

" I knew it was coming for me but I wanted it to waste it's time. There is no way such a pathetic creature could defeat me and I will not waste me time battling it." She said as she hovered away from the creature. Atropos was clearly not going to battle the hound no matter what he said but an old friend of his was all to happy to take her place. Cannon Fodder leaped into position ready for battle. It had been a while since they had encountered a foe which acted so aggressively and like his other foes Cannon Fodder wanted to see just how well he could jandle the beast. Opening his mouth wide he showed off his tiny mouth hoping to make the dog regret challenging him to a fight.

Being pumped about his evolution being only a few battles away Cannon Fodder was eager to take the biggest chomp out of Poochyena that he could to teach the hound a lesson. He was not going to hold back just because it was younger or stupid for blindly picking a fight. " Well I think I know what is going to happen again but I am not going to stop you Cannon Fodder. You are on a roll and if you keep up this pace you will evolve very soon. I do agree this Poochyena needs to be taught a nice little lesson about underestimating it's foes and you are the best Pokemon for the job. I do think that after one of your Bug Bites it will never make this mistake again." With his order received Cannon Fodder sprung into action ready to give Poochyena a nice punishment for it's recklessness.

Missing taking a bite out of Atropos by a mile, the leaping Poochyena landed back onto the ground, paws touching the dirt as it's fangs clenched shut in disappointment. Unsuccessful in it's attempts to take a snap at the ghost, the dark furred hound snarled in frustration before pacing on the spot. Now turned to face Marchbaby and his rag tag team of Pokemon, the wild canine watched as the ghostly creature floated away from the Poochyena, uninterested in battling something she considered as weak. Almost insulted, the Poochyena's snout seemed to snarl further, more and more intimidating wrinkles crossing it's fiercely glaring eyes. However, it did get a replacement opponent, even if the canine itself wasn't interested in battling a simple pine cone.

Snapping his own hidden mouth, the Pineco hopped forward confidently, to which the Poochyena merely grunted. Since it's original opponent had turned tail, it supposed that this would do for now. After it had won, it could always chase the wispy ghost once again. Jaw chomping a few times as if preparing itself to attack, the Poochyena was about to become majorly disappointed as pretty soon, it would be lacking consciousness. Propelling himself forward with a tremendous leap considering his lack of limbs, the Pineco spared no moment in assaulting the canine. Piercing it's hidden fangs into the body of the Poochyena, the dark creature soon felt it's heart clench and eyes roll back, a surge of pain being accompanied by the feeling of shock and surprise. Cannon Fodder certainly put that pup in it's place!

As the Poochyena fell to the ground after a single bite from Cannon Fodder, a lurking creature had spotted the ongoing fight, only to be disappointed when it ended so suddenly. Masked within the tree tops, it snorted hot air out of it's nostrils angrily before shuffling it's way across the branches of the tree. This Pokemon had been watching from the shadows for some time and as well as the menace Tyler, to the wild Pokemon, Marchbaby also looked incredibly suspicious. Afterall, he was just mowing these Pokemon down one after the other and this creature didn't like it. Thus, before the trainer could progress, the wild Pokemon figured it was finally it's own time to shine. Leaves rustling maniacally to the side of the male trainer, all of a sudden, something burst out, a trail of leaves being kicked up behind it.

Landing on the ground whilst posed in a fighting stance, the wild creature was none other than a Mankey. Crimson red eyes leering at Marchbaby, the furry monkey hopped on the spot, keeping itself moving whilst also flicking it's front paw, as if beckoning Marchbaby to attack. Once again, an opponent had made their way to him.

A wild Mankey (Level 9) has appeared!
Fight or Flee?

[Deleted]

Still amazed by Cannon Fodder's power Marchbaby did not pay any attention the the leaves however as a wild Mankey appeared in front of him he did not need a second guess to know who had stirred up the leaves. The monkey Pokemon was more than likely angry that Cannon Fodder was going through Pokemon on the route with the same level of ease as stealing candy from a baby. He knew Mankey were not the friendliest Pokemon around but angering one was usually not a good idea unless you had a strong Pokemon to calm their rage which he just so happened to have. Cannon Fodder knew he would be more than a match for the monkey as he hopped in front of Marchbaby ready to teach Mankey the same lesson he had taught the Poochyena who had more than likely learned it's lesson by now.

As the pine cone Pokemon bounced up and down excited for his next match Marchbaby was just in awe that a bug type with such poor mobility could keep fighting for so long. Bugsy had taught him just how strong Bug types could be but Cannon Fodder sure was something else. Very few Pokemon would want to fight so many times in a row without any signs of growing tired at all. Most of the dragons in Blackthorn even could not handle such a gauntlet without getting very tired which impressed him. " You sure have an unbelievable determination Cannon Fodder. I am still amazed at how much endurance you have. You have the heart of a dragon to say the least with how much you love to fight. I sure do hope we run into more Pokemon like you as we will need them to one day face Clair and Lance."

As he finished speaking Cannon Fodder opened his small mouth again. The bug did not want to wait any longer to be able to take down another opponent so that he would be able to get one step closer to evolving. " I know you are very anxious to start another round and I shall not hold you up any more than I already have. I think another Bug Bite should do just fine to calm this Mankey down and maybe draw more Pokemon to use for you to practice on." Cannon Fodder having received his orders wasted no time in lunging towards Mankey with his mouth wide open.

[Morrigan]

The confidence and determination of Cannon Fodder had long since sky rocketed due to his continuous successful stream of victories. By this point, the Pineco felt that nothing was able to cross it's path and live to tell the tale. It was just teetering on the edge of evolution, it could feel it in it's body. So why would it stop there? Cannon Fodder was going all out and couldn't wait for more and more opponents, no matter how big or scary they were. Fear meant nothing to this tenacious Pokemon. Cannon Fodder's own body bouncing on the spot to counteract the light footed movements of the Mankey, the Pineco leered it's eyes and seemed to snicker to itself. It wouldn't be long now before the silly look ape was down.

Throwing itself forward at it's usual, surprising speed, the Mankey jolted back in shock as all of a sudden, Cannon Fodder was up in it's face. Snorting hot air out from it's nostrils, the Mankey lifted an arm in order to bat the pine cone away but it's reaction was far too late. Cannon Fodder had already found a delicious bit of supple fur to bite into and it was apparent by the face of the Mankey. Eyes growing larger and larger as the pain sunk in, it soon felt all life leave it's body as it slowly tumbled backwards. Landing on it's back with a gentle thud, the Mankey sprawled across the ground inelegantly. It had fainted.

With both Poochyena and Mankey now taken care of, despite the battle being short, it had been enough time for Poochyena to open it's eyes. The Pineco being the first thing it saw, the dark canine whimpered pitifully before noticing it's fainted comrade. Picking the Mankey up by the scruff of the neck with it's fangs, both the terrified Poochyena and fainted Mankey meandered their way back into the wild. Standing proudly, Cannon Fodder eagerly awaited his next opponent. However, the area seemed deathly silent. Had all the other wild Pokemon been scared away? Beginning to feel remotely disappointed, he didn't give up and together with Marchbaby, continued to explore the route for more opponents.

Cannon Fodder leaping on ahead, something caught the corner of his eye. Amongst the bushes close by was something hidden, the leaves rustling every now and again. Before long, a pink body rolled it's way out onto the path, hands, face and mouth stuff to the brim with berries. The creature was known as Hoppip but this one was particularly fat, as if it wasn't obvious with how much food it was cramming into it's face. Noticing Cannon Fodder, it rather angrily pointed and shrieked at the group to go away. This was the Hoppip's berry patch and it was going to protect it!

[Deleted]

Beginning to give up hope that anything else would try to battle him he grew excited as Cannon Fodder ran off ahead hopefully with a new opponent to face. Surely enough he had found a new foe however this one did not seem very pleased to have intruders in it's berry patch. " This little Hoppip is not a very happy camper. It seems we have trespassed onto it's food source. Leaving would usually be the best option but as it might just chase us down if we do I think we are going to have to battle it and hopefully it will understand we do not mean it any harm outside of maybe a bite mark or two to calm it down. I hate the idea of having to hurt something that only wants to protect it's territory though." Cannon Fodder was too busy thinking about evolving however and he took his position ready for a battle.

If Cannon Fodder was anything it was hardheadded just like Bonecrusher and the only way this confrontation would end was with a battle. There was no doubt in Marchbaby's mind that Cannon Fodder would win this match like all of the others he had fought in but he felt terrible that he would have to bring harm to such a small Pokemon that only was doing what was necessary. " I really hate to have to do this to you Hoppip as I know you are only doing what is natural however once Cannon Fodder has a target in his eyes he will never rest until either it or himself is out cold. I hope you can forgive me for this but I have no choice but to let him battle you as he will not stay in his Pokeball if I try to recall him and my other Pokemon are smart enough to know not to get in his way."

As he finished speaking Cannon Fodder opened his mouth ready to have yet another battle. His teeth were ready to take a chomp out of Hoppip and show it just how tough a pine cone could be. " Cannon Fodder I really wish you would shot mercy here but I know you are set in your ways so lets make this quick so Hoppip will not have to suffer too much. Use Bug Bite and let's get this battle over with. Hopefully you will evolve soon after this so we can spare the rest of the Pokemon here a similar fate."


Ooc: Marchbaby sends out Cannon Fodder who uses Bug Bite.

[The REAL Joey]

Intruding on its territory or not, there was little uncertainty as to how this encounter would go. Having proven its battle prowess by a considerable margin with its previous forays, it meant this Hoppip was foolishly putting its life on the line when perhaps a better idea would be use to the breeze of the winds to high tail it out of there. Given it had the higher ground by being able to float up and above, it could easily afford a getaway without any fear of reprise from the rather immobilised Pineco or so it seemed. Spinning itself around angrily, the Pokemon made some counterbalance with the air and glided itself towards Cannon Fodder. Remaining still on the spot, the Pineco merely eyed the oncoming Pokemon with some delight as it meant it wouldn't have to go out of its way to close the distance between them. If this hot headed Hoppip wanted to dig its own grave then so be it. Understanding Marchbaby's commands, the Pokemon bore its bug like maw hidden amongst its body and would be sure to exert as much force as necessary.

Having faced one or two of these before, it meant the Pokemon had a good grasp on the sort of defences and resistances it offered. Which wasn't much. Nearing close enough to tackle its opponent, the Hoppip realised its mistake all too late. Trying to flap backwards with its stubby arms and legs, the Pokemon was left dangling midair, just ripe for biting. Pushing itself forward, Cannon Fodder chomped down on the Pokemon's body and failed to relinquish immediately. Gnawing away like a bug, the Pokemon made short work of the foe, causing the Hoppip to faint not long thereafter a few pained cries. Falling limp, Cannon Fodder spat the defeated Pokemon off to one side. It looked like it would be a while before it could enjoy its delectable berry patch again that was for sure. Either way, it was another victory to Cannon Fodder who now looked even more impressive in terms of its fighting capability.

As soon as the Hoppip was defeated Cannon Fodder wasted no time in hopping towards Marchbaby's bag. Rummaging through it like a crazed maniac he soon filled his mouth with the three Rare Candies inside. Not a moment later he began to glow in a bright white light. A moment later he looked completely different than he had before as tiny cannons had grown into his side and his body had turned purple and red.

Marchbaby was stunned beyond words not even caring that his Rare Candies were gone as he was just happy to finally have a Forretress. He was sure they would be ready to face his brother now.

Running ahead to catch up to his evil brother he found him just as the battle with the shiny Poochyena was over and Mania was not exactly in a good mood. She wished she would have known it would be a shiny but her nose could not tell the difference in color. Tyler had taken the situation rather lightly until he saw his brother and then all hell broke loose. " Hell's bells what in the name of Arceus are you doing here? I knew you were coming but to see your sorry self actually grow enough brass balls to face me is totally unexpected but I am ready for you none the less. I see you have a Forretress but it will be no match for Flint. You are a moron if you think I would use Mania against a bug type with some much defense."

"You seem to forget I have other Pokemon as well Cannon Fodder here is just one of the Pokemon I have. I beat you to getting a dragon type and now I shall stop this madness before it gets any worse. You will pay for what you have done here." Mania being a smart ass like usual responded with a simple "Good luck." however before the battle could begin a horde of Unown swarmed Marchbaby and in a bright flash he disappeared. Tyler took it as a sign of retribution that his good for nothing brother had finally been offed. With the pest no longer there to stop him he was able to get back to training so that he could get ready for his next gym battle and prepare just in case his brother somehow survived the ordeal and found his way back to him.
