As the two Poliwag set up.their ambush and fired sand at Kevin and Shinya it was pretty apparent to Kevin that a double battle was about to begin. He had not partnered with another trainer in years however as their foe were not too powerful Kevin was faily confident that he would be able to work with almost anyone in a case like this. " Well what do you know, it looks like these Poliwag are challenging us to a double battle. Mind teaming up with me for this?" He asked as Oracle stepped forward to help out. Though she found the two water type adorable she would not hold back if the need to show no mercy came to be.

" These cute things sure are smart when it comes to using numbers to their advantage. I take it they must not like that we captured their friend." Oracle then started to stretch as she watched both Pokemon wondering which one Kevin would have her target. Neither looked very strong but she did not dar underestimate them knowing that this island had not been explored much and there was no telling what these Poliwag might try next. The double battle was surprising enough but as both appeared to be identical Kevin had a hard time deciding what to do.

After taking a few seconds to think about it he decided instead of knocking out Poliwag he would try and capture one leacing the other for Shinya if he wanted the other one. " Usually decidong who gets what would be tough but as both these Poliwag are identical it should be a lot easier. I will try and capture the one on the right. If you need any help Oracle here can easily lend a paw or two." He then dug through his backpack and found a Great Ball that he could use to try and capture the Poliwag on the right.

Not only did he need a second one for the Pokedex but capturing it would turn this into a two versus one battle. With zero hesitation at all he threw the Great Ball and hoped for good luck as he waited to see what Shinya would do on his side. Oracle waited as well willing to protect both Kevin and Shinya if she needed to. Though she did not know Shinya she was not about to let a trainer get hurt on her watch so long as she could prevent it.


OOC: Kevin tosses a Great Ball at the Poliwag on the right while Oracle stands on guard. With the rule being both members can capture a Pokemon in a double battle in these areas now in effect. Deducting the Great Ball myself.

Almost immediately after the Poliwag pair shot some sand at Shinya and the trainer beside him, Yanma suddenly acted on her own, flapping her wings and using her Gust attack to blow off the sand before it got anywhere near them. "Yan! Yanma!" Yanma smiled afterward, happy with her handy work, even though she was still too young to understand why the two Water types did what they did. Shinya, on the other hand, just let out a yawn, clearly not interested or intimidated by the two wild Poliwags in the slightest. "Tch. More Poliwags? Boring. What's wrong? You upset because I caught one of your little friends earlier?" Shinya taunted the Tadpole Pokemon before him, referring to the Poliwag he caught shortly after first arriving at the rock pool.

The Team Skull grunt then glanced at Kevin and Oracle as soon as he spoke to him, remembering something that Venom told him about the night the S.S. Zulu sank. "Oh, you must be that Kevin guy. Venom told me about ya. To be honest, I already caught one of these guys and I didn't even wanna catch that one. I'm just trainin' up some new recruits. Like Yanma here." Shinya pointed at the Clear Wing Pokemon on top of his head, as said Pokemon tilted its head and smiled at Kevin and Oracle, looking mildly confused by them. "Yanma?" Still, even though he had no interest in capturing one of the two Poliwags, Shinya did want to get this battle over with quickly and search for something more interesting.

To that end, he grabbed another Net Ball from his bag, listening again to what Kevin had to say. "Sure. Whatever. I guess the left one's mine then. But hey, if they want a double battle, that just means more experience for Yanma." The Bug type trainer let out a quick yawn of boredom, but then put his game face on, grinning a rather menacing grin down at the Poliwag on the left. "The last Poliwag I encountered couldn't break out of one of these. Let's see if you can. Net Ball, get it!" With plenty of force, Shinya threw the Net Ball right at the Poliwag on the left, hitting it right in the middle of the swirly pattern on its stomach like it was a target. Both Shinya and Yanma then watched the Water type get sucked inside, waiting to see if both Poliwag would end up captured or not.

Although the Poliwags were nearly identical in every way to each other to the untrained eye, they could easily tell each other apart at first glance. The larger eyed blue tadpole puffed itself up, making itself look larger and rounder than usual. The way Shinya spoke about their beloved friend – one of whom they would most likely never see again – really upset the small Pokemon! It began to foam at the mouth as it formed bubbles, preparing to spit them up at the humans directly and ignoring the flying winged bug and strange bipedal blue dog. However, the larger-footed tadpole whipped its tail in front of its friend, trying to get the big-eyed Poliwag to halt its fire for a second.

“Poliwag poli! Poli poli?” The large-footed Poliwag spoke up in a loud, shrill voice. It wanted to know why Oracle and Yanma were so adamant to help these strange humans. The big-eyed Poliwag tilted its head as it turned to its friend. Was it…trying to reason with these trespassers? “Poli poli! Wag, poliwag wag poli!” The big-eyed tadpole puffed itself up and yelled at its friend. There was no way that they could negotiate with these territory terrorists! They would just try to capture them too! The other Poliwag turned back to its friend and argued back. “Poliwag poli!” You never knew! “Poli poli wag poli!” Maybe there was a shred of common decency in these strange creatures. They had to at least try!

Two balls would come flying at them from out of nowhere in the midst of their debate! The Poliway were unaware and unable to fight back as a bright red light zapped each of them up. The large-eyed Poliwag disappeared into the bright greenish-blue ball with large black ‘webbing’ on its top. The large-footed Poliwag disappeared into the bright blue ball with two large red ridges on its top. Both balls would wiggle back and forth as they landed on top of a bed rocks and bounced off into the soft sands. After several minutes, they would both ding in succession to announce two successful captures!
