Warren strode along the grass that surrounded just outside of Cherrygrove. The rain was beating down and any chance of it letting up seemed far-fetched. He had no umbrella, so the water that drenched him was beginning to well up in the soles of his shoes. "UGhhhhhhhhggggg." A large groan erupted from him; he was obviously not pleased with the way things were turning out. "Why didn't I ever remember to buy an umbrella? I'm the stupidest person I know." Hopefully Violet City would be dryer, or have more places to hide under. Warren was not about to backtrack to the inner parts of Cherrygrove; he was as stubborn as he's always been, and was determined to get to Violet City. In his frustration he noticed a little boy near a big tree. He decided it was best to run under the tree and way for this weather to subside. His Pokemon, dry in their little spherical homes, had no idea the day that they were in for.

Winter was the season that often brought ice cold winds, chilly rain, snowstorms and hail wherever it went. The entire region of Johto was suffering from the cold in their own way but for Cherrygrove in particular, a cold rain had settled itself above the nearby route. Judging from the amount of dark clouds in the sky, the rain wasn't going to end for some time to come. Thus, it was best for travellers to find shelter quickly, unless they didn't mind the feeling of being soggy. Warren wandered the grasses around the outskirts of Cherrygrove, to the point that not only his clothes but even the soles of his shoes, had been drenched in cold rain. His boots squishing and squelching with every step, Warren found a tree to hide beneath but someone else already seemed to be there. Even from his current distance, it was easy to see that it was a young boy but as he stepped closer, danger began to approach.
A number of loud howls echoed from close by, the boy looking around nervously, only to see Warren approach. On closer inspection, the young boy looked very fearful, his arms wrapped tightly around three very small Pokemon in his arms. "A-Ahh.." He stuttered, taking a step back from the man. "Was that.. Are they your Pokemon?" Spluttering out a bit of a random question, Warren barely had time to even take in what the boy had said when the howling happened again, only this time, it was much louder and closer. Thundering through the tall grass, a group of dark canines emerged with snapping fangs, surrounding both Warren and the fearful youngster. "S-Stay back!" The boy stuttered, backing up until his back was against the trunk of the tree.
Turning toward Warren, it didn't seem that the three Pokemon belonged to him, so he gave asking for help a shot. "If these aren't your Pokemon.. Please help me fight them! They keep following us for no reason!" Gulping, he was preparing himself for rejection. "M-My name is Jimmy. You can borrow one of my Pokemon if you need to but-- I'm too scared to fight them myself!"

"Don't worry, I gotchu." Warren strode up, sopping wet. The Pokemon in his hand were not too great for this battle, none of his Pokemon knew any water, fighting, or rock attacks that would come in handy for this specific occasion. He could work it out though, he had enough rare Pokemon with some tricks up their sleeves. Thinking strategically, he had put Tab in the middle, acting as the tank for some hits. Warren decided that it was best to call out Shuppet on the left and then Moo on the right. "No, I can use my own Pokemon. Thanks though." Warren said, trying to be somewhat polite. He found that often times his less sensitive side got in the way when he was in a hurry, which he usually wouldn't care about, except for this time a child was counting on him.
"Ok use shadow sneak twice on the left Houndour, Shuppet. Tab, use fury swipes twice on the middle Houndour. Moo, use tackle on the right Houndour." Warren utilized a special technique he had acquired during his travels across Johto. Hopefully this would speed up the battle in a more convenient way for everyone involved. The rain persisted and continued to drench Warren in a chilly water veil. ((OOC: Shuppet (left), Purrloin (middle), Numel(right). Using running shoes. Shuppet: shadow sneak twice on left Houndour. Tab uses fury swipes on the middle houndour. Moo uses tackle twice on right Houndour. ))

The trio of rambunctious canines were slightly taken aback upon noticing that there was another human past the line of bushes. They all snarled and encircled, breaking from their chase of the younger boy and his likewise pokémon. Thankfully for the schoolboy Warren kept a level head, as if practiced in being ambushed by wild pokémon from his travels as a new trainer. Throwing out three champions of his own a fair three on three battle commenced. Warren's pokémon were all instantly ready for a fight upon release, the glowing shuppet in his repertoire barely forming out of the glow of the pokéball before launching a sudden and sneaky attack upon the female houndour. She didn't even know what hit her, twisting back and retreating a few steps before rounding back into line with a confused growl. Next up was Tab, slick and graceful the feline shimmied up to the seeming leader of the pack and unleashed a flurry of rapid swipes from her sharpened claws. Her nails dug in deep, slashing and raking across the dark fur of her opponent. Havoc whined in pain, flinching back from the swift approach. It looked like Warren was going to route the rowdy hell raisers in the first few moments of combat, but Helena stuck her nose in the air and released an echoing howl to bolster the canine forces. Havoc and Abyss snarled in reply, but the female dog had a vicious new sheen about her that made those pearly whites and pointed claws appear more menacing than before. But she was not the only one flickering with light. From both Havoc and Abyss licks of flame wrapped around their jaws as both unleashed a joint strike against their species ancient nemesis: Tab. It didn't take a genius to realize how much of a threat the purrloin was in comparison to Warren's other pokémon after that display of fury swipes. However, it apparently hadn't dawned on the pair that the rain made their fires less powerful than normal. Moo took up the rear of the round, managing to remain under the houndour's radar the sturdy fire pokémon pounded forward and rammed into the yet undamaged hellhound. Cyclone wasted no time in striking with another shadowy wisp, whisking up to Helena once again and giving her a good smack. This disrupted the enemy's focus on Tab long enough for the agile cat to slip back up to Havoc and finish her work with another series of rapid swipes. Havoc was forced to retreat back. The schoolboy broke from his tear filled eyes to watch in amazement at Warren's finesse, fear lifting from his thoughts and shifting into a buzz of hope and excitement. "Oh wow..." he spoke softly, near a hush, as if his voice would disrupt the intense battle happening before his very eyes. Whatever discourteous words were passed by his savior were instantly forgiven. There were still two houndour left and they still had plenty of fight left in them. The female canine huffed. A purple smoke rising from her throat. Instead of flames a poisonous haze was sent after Tab, engulfing the purrloin in a stinky gas. Luckily she did well to protect herself from intake; the smog disappearing without any lasting effects. The remaining houndour tried another ember attack, again on the feline, but still the resilient devious pokémon remained relatively unscathed to the pack's dismay. Even moreso when the little camel came riding up and tackled Abyss a second time. Triple Battle

So much had just happened on the battlefield that it felt like there should be smoke blowing off the ground, in fact there was because of the embers. At least one of the Houndours was out for the count, Warren definitely had Tab to thank for that, her exquisite level gain in the previous route molded her well for this battle. With the battle half over, Warren had some strategizing to do. Which Houndour should Tab attack? With a decision made, action was to be called for.
The Houndours seemed geared and ready to attack, Warren needed to make his orders quick in order to not be left in the dust. The rain still poured, which of course gave him the upper-hand in the battle with three fire types. “Shuppet, use Night Shade on the left Houndour! Tab use Fury Swipes on the left Houndour as well! Moo use tackle on the right Houndour of course.” Warren folded his hands in anticipation for what was to come. The Houndours were on level with his Numel and Shuppet, so the battle was still anyone’s game.

With Havoc behind his two houndour allies the battle now raged between just the five. Tab was quick to enact her trainer's wishes, padding in to land a couple solid scratches on Helena. The hit was hard but the resilient hound managed to remain standing; albeit just barely. She eyed the feline angrily, but finally took notice of the glowing ghost pokémon hovering off to side in preparation to attack. On her last legs Helena tried to deter Cyclone from landing a final attack on her, firing yet another ember into the pelting rain to smolder almost harmlessly on her opponent. This weather really wasn't helping her. Abyss remained focused on Tabs, snarling viciously at her defeat of their pack leader. Short fur bristled, the canine worked up a bit of poisonous gas and sent the smoggy cloud over in her direction. Thankfully the secondary effect of such a haze still did not take root, and the houndours' luck wasn't going to get any better. Cyclone summoned a nightly cloud to envelop Helena and sap the rest of her fighting stamina. She yelped pitifully and broke from the fight. Moo would do his trainer proud as once again he rammed into remaining houndour without taking a hit. The impact caught the dog low, causing Abyss to lift from the ground and roll upon landing. He, too, was finished in this fight. All three of the houndour growled as one then turned tail and ran into the trees going different directions. Triple Battle

With each battle participated, your Pokèmon will gain one happiness point per battle. "Oh my gosh that was amazing! Thank you thank you thank you!" the school boy jumped up and cheered his savior. His three little pokémon were released from his grasp and joined in the celebrations. "Those houndour didn't stand a chance! You came in here and just..." he made some punching motions and sound effects to finish his statement. "If it wasn't for you I don't know what we would have done. Those Houndour just showed up out of nowhere on my way home from school and wouldn't stop chasing me. I-I have to reward you for your help!"All three of the young pokémon at his side chimed in as one, skipping into the air and bouncing about with their excitement. It seemed all of them were very impressed with out Warren handled the situation. An even wider smile grew on the boy's face. "It looks like my pokémon are inspired by your battle and all want to be just as strong as your pokémon, but... I don't really battle that much," he admitted somewhat bashfully. But it quickly went away as he clenched his hands together with a determined look. "Would you take one of them as a reward for helping me? Help them get stronger and show them how fun battling can be?

It's chime was soft and soothing as it was shuffled around. "Oh and please take this too. Pokémon love the sound and it can be a sign of our friendship!" Jimmy gives you a Soothe Bell! "Well... I really hope those houndour don't ever come back. This is my favorite way to come home. And who knows who else they bother. The school boy picked up his lunch box. "I uh... Do you think, you could, maybe..." he stumbled with the words. Warren had already helped him out a lot and Jimmy didn't have anything else to offer for helping further, but it was clear the thought of the houndour coming back in the future terrified him. The Houndour pack have bolted their separate ways! Will Warren take a detour from his journey and follow the fleeing Houndour? Or is his work done here. One took a left path, another straight down the center, and the other bolted right.

The Houndours scudded off into the distance, Warren had a feeling that they were not done causing trouble but it was not his problem. He had to keep moving, which mean saying goodbye to this little boy as well. With some recently new acquired Pokemon, Warren knew he had to find a PC and switch some of these guys out. Smoochum and Cleffa needed some attention and Warren knew it was time to get out of this place.
The rain still pounded down and Warren looked to the little boy who seemed to be saying something. Through the drizzle Warren could make out something about getting a Pokemon? Warren chose a random Pokeball and said, “Thanks I guess.” Where to now? Violet City, a place where rare Pokemon seem to come to admire the bustling city. “See ya Timmy, or whatever your name is.” He really didn’t know what to do with this Pokemon he acquired, maybe some child starting out on their journey will find it useful and take good care of it. With that, Warren headed off into the distance. ((OOC Lamont it seems as though the battle has ended but the Houndour on the right still says 9 hp? Also shouldn't Tab gain only one level? Putting Azuril in my box!))
