On the road again

[shard]

Randi got more respect from Mikasi for being able to growl at a time like this.  Admittedly it sounded pain filled butit was still bold.  The notion occurred to Mikasi he could tell Onix to do something else also.  However the options didn't really fit in his mind.  Why protect himself more in a setting he was clearly winning? Best thing to do was keep the push on.  "Tackle - I bet one more strike will have Randi out cold Rocko." Oh, look Mikasi finally remembered to use the giant rocks name.  It was harder to remember a name you didn't come up with.  Maybe now that he saw how great Onix was that would change.

"I haven't been to the mountains.  I met someone who porbably had been in the mountains though.  It was just a simple trade, and I'd say I got a great deal.  This guy definitly beats a pokemon who just wants to jump in mud puddles."  Admittedly Rocko had plenty of mud on him, at least the lower portion that was on the ground.  Still, he wasn't playing in it at least.

"Onnn...." the deep rumble in its throat on hearing Randi's growl.  Certainly its not the noise you expect to hear from someone trapped in his rocky grasp.  Without eyebrows it could be an unnerving thing when the Onix eyes focused its attention on someone.  Mikasi certainly had a feeling he wouldn't want to stare it down.  Honestly he couldn't be as brave as little Randi was.  Thinking of Randi was going the wrong direction, Mikasi was trying to puzzle out Onix thoughts.

Was he just watching Randi as its victim, or was it trying to assess Randi the same Mikasi was trying to figure out Rocko.

"Doing good Rocko."

The battle wasn’t going good for her Randi. Ranger Nikki fought to retain the smile that she kept on her face, although the edges were worn and creased into the corners of her face as she watched her poor Nidoran struggle and fight its way to try and escape from Rocko’s strong and powerful boulder-like tail’s grip. The desperation was more than noticeable, and she had to remind herself to keep her composure for both player’s and her own Pokemon’s sake. “Remember you’ll always be a winner in my book, Randi! Keep your strength up and Scratch Onix as hard as you can! Really dig with your claws and try to break free!” The Bind shouldn’t hold up for much longer, although she wasn’t so sure that her Pokemon had all that much longer.

The stone-grey rock snake held its grip as tightly as possible. With its big expansive head, Rocko reared back and lunged its face forward, tackling the small poisonous blue rabbit. The smaller Pokemon cried out and began to lash out with its front paws. It writhed underneath Onix’s strong, sturdy body and scratched the large rocky creature as deep as it could. Although the attack wouldn’t do much – if any damage at all. As Randi scratched, the bind seemed to constrict the Nidoran more, until it couldn’t take it anymore and Randi fainted within Rocko’s grip.

Nikki pulled out Randi’s Pokeball. “You did good. Now, Stella, its your turn!” She called out and summoned a small pinkish-purple rabbit with a long horn on its head. Stella roared out with a cute, “NIDO!” and clawed at the earth with its front foot as though to say, ‘“I’m ready to fight!” “Are you ready for our second act, Mikasi? We’re just getting started!”

What's this?!


Rocko gained +3 Levels! Rocko increased to level 8!

Rocko is trying to learn Rock Throw!
Forget a move and learn Rock Throw? Or forget learning the new move?


Looks like Ranger Nikki is about to use another Pokemon!
Will Mikasi keep Rocko or switch for a different Pokemon?
