Marchbaby made his way to the edge of the water near Olivine City as he had heard the Lighthouse was not working and no boat could take him to Cainwood. Even worse he did not have the Hidden Machine for Surf so usually he would have been out of luck. Luckily for him the Move Tutor was able to teach his Starmie Surf so he could make his way to the island city the hard way by riding on the back of the starfish Pokemon. It was not the most comfortable Pokemon to ride on however it was the only option he had until he was able to either find another Pokemon that knew Surf or find the Hidden Machine for the move.
" I sure hope I am doing this right, riding on the back of a Starmie sure seems weird but I do not have a Lapras or a Empoleon or some other water type to ride on so this will have to do. Patrick please take me to Cainwood on the other side of this ocean but be careful of the Whirl Islands, those Whirlpools are really nasty and we have no way to cancel them out for now." Once he felt like he had a good grip he patted the young Starmie on the top arm to signal that he was ready. As soon as he did it took off like a bullet speeding towards the island city at breakneck speed with Marchbaby barely able to hang on.
It was even harder than usual to hold on as the nearby dust storm had reached even the middle of the ocean causing sand and debris to swirl around him. As hard as it was however the dragon apprentice held on for dear life as Patrick focused solely on getting to Cainwood no matter how bad the weather got. About midway through Marchbaby could see a bunch of other Pokemon swimming in the distance and believed that the only way he could reach Cainwood would be to battle at least one of them while still clinging to Patrick in the middle of the ocean.
" I thin we are about to have a fight on our hands. Patrick cannot handle any of the Pokemon out here so once I know for sure what is up ahead I will have to protect him with one of my other Pokemon. I am curious what Pokemon live in the middle of the ocean."
OOC: Requesting a surfing encounter on route 40. March does not have the storm badge yet and as this is set during the day Staryu cannot spawn either.

A large and imposing jellyfish would begin swimming at warp speed towards Marchbaby and his Starmie. It would try to slam its Tentacles down on them, hoping to send them flying far away from its territory and possibly knock Marchbaby off the Starmie's back. It roared, challenging them to leave or else! A Wild Tentacruel appeared!  Level 24. What will Marchbaby do? |

As soon as Marchbaby saw the Tentacruel he knew trouble was brewing as they did not tend to take kindly to tresspassers in their territory. As dangerous as it usually was howevee being stuck on the back of a Starmie made it worse. The only good thing about the situation was a few of Marchbaby's Pokemon could float or swim. At first Marchbaby thought about using Shocker but with so much water around feared that would be a horrible idea and so his next choice was Kamikaze. Not only could she outspeed the Jellyfish Pokemon but usually she would have the smallest chance of knocking it out.
He did not have enough time to remove her Life Orb but hoped the recoil damage would not come back.to haunt him. As he sent out the Weasel Pokemon she managed to swim rather well all things considered despite not being a water type. As he thought of which move to use he felt with all this water around Ice Punch would be his best choice as not only was it less dangerous than electriticy but maybe, just maybe the water around Tentacruel would grow cold enough to freeze making it far easier to capture.
" Kamikaze I can honestly say this is the first time in my life I have seen a Weavile swim but you are pretty good at it. Not as graceful as a water type but still not bad at all. Use your speed to close the distance with that Tentacruel and use your Ice Punch to soften it up. After you do that I will try and capture it." As she swam towards the giant jellyfish Pokemon Marchbaby held onto Patrick with one hand as he searched through his backpack with the other. It was no easy task but after a moment he finally found an Ultra Ball he could use.
Once he found an Ultra Ball he took aim at Tentacruel and waited for Kamikaze to strike so that it would be a lot easier to capture. Tentacruel would likely put up a fight trying to avoid capture and Marchbaby had a feeling it would not be an easy catch. The risk was worth it however as it would be a very useful Pokemon in cases where he needed a Pokemon with strong special defense or a poison type. The biggest value however was adding it to his Pokedex which he was hoping would happen real soon.
OOC: Kamikaze is sent out and uses Ice Punch while holding a Life Orb. March tosses an Ultra Ball unless Tentacruel gets KO'ed. Not updating the ball yet.

Kamikaze was swift. There was no denying that. As she struck the large beast and knocked Tentacruel back a ways in the water, the surrounding water would freeze up. Though, Tentacruel slammed its tentacles down after much struggling and broke through the ice. It then swallowed a huge gulp of air and shot a high powered beam of bubbles, hitting Kamikaze in the face. When the Ultra Ball came flying at the beast, Tentacruel would raise one tentacle up high in the air and slap it away easily. Then, it would start creating large pulses in the ocean that sent huge waves to crash repeatedly over Kamikaze's head, knocking her underwater briefly. Wild Encounter

Marchbaby was not too shocked that his first capture attempt had failed as he knew Tentacruel would no be an easy capture. What he was not expecting however was how much damage the ongoing sandstorm would cause to both Pokwmon after two rounds. Kamikaze seemed to take slightly more but neither Pokemon fared well against the blowing sand. As dangerous as the weather was however it also helped to some degree as it would slightly increase his chances of capturing Tentacruel on his next attempt. He felt safe enough trying one more time but knew the risks would be far greater if his second attempt failed.
" Great work Kamikaze, a shame our first capture attempt failed but you did a great job softening up Tentacruel. Hopefully our luck turns around soon as I do not think that Tentacruel can handle this weather much longer." It was about this time he wished he would have stocked up on Net Balls as they would have allowed him to capture Tentacruel a lot easier than a Ultra Ball could. Nonetheless he was not about to give up because of a single set back. He knew he just had to try at least one more time hoping he would get lucky.
With Kamikaze distracting Tentacruel Marchbaby started to look through his backpack again as he held onto Patrick with one arm. His one armed search took a while but he finally located another Ultra Ball he could use. As there was little hope of the jellyfish Pokwmon enduring another attack Marchbaby could only have Kamikaze keep distracting the wild Tentacruel and hope it would lose enough focus that his second attempt would have a different outcome. He stared at the jellyfish Pokemon for a moment thinking of where his best chance to aim.would be when he decided right between the eyes would be his best bet.
" Kamikaze I just need you to distract Tentacruel.this time. It is far too risky to have you attack again. Try to swim around it in circles and I will toss my Ultra Ball once I think I have the right opening." Kamikaze then started to swiftly swim.around the Tentacruel as Marchbaby waited for the right moment. He knew it was a long shot attempt to begin with but he had little other options to try and capture Tentacruel in this weather. All he could do was pray that luck would be on his side this time.

What? Was Marchbaby simply not getting it? The Tentacruel thrashed its long tentacles around, causing a huge tidal wave that submerged the Ultra Ball underneath the deep blue sea. It would not be contained! The Tentacruel bellowed at the top of its lungs with the most god-awful sound anyone could imagine. Wild Encounter

Marchbaby was very impressed by Tentacruel's amazing ability to break out of Ultra Balls with such easy. Few other Pokemon he encountered could handle such a task however it also meant that he would have to try yet again to capture the jellyfish Pokwmon. At the same time Kamikaze was getting pretty tired by now and he did not know if she would be able to endure another round or not. Not wanting to take the risk he decided he would switch Pokemon but he wasn't sure which one.
Biff might be able to swim but he was still young and Patrick was too risky to sacrifice. Shocker was still way too exhausted from previous battles for him to risk as well. Vör was powerful but he needed a Pokemon with decent defenses to endure a few hits as he tried to capture Tentacruel leaving him with only one other option. Alpha the Metang could float which solved the swimming issue and Tentacruel could no lower it's stats thanks to it's clear body ability making it the ideal choice to wall the jellyfish Pokemon while hoping he would finally get lucky and capture it.
He tossed the Pokeball onto the water revealing the Metang who managed to just float above the ocean waves. The sandstorm had no negative effect on it unlike Kamikaze which was also helpful as it would save a bit of health every turn that it could use to endure damage from the Tentacruel directly instead. Marchbaby waited a few moments as he was sure the jellyfish Pokemon would strike during this opening but hoped Alpha would have no trouble enduring the hit as he started searching though his backpack looking for his ever dwindling supplies of Ultra Balls. Before he could find one however the sandstorm blew sand right into his eyes temporarily blinding him and slowing his search to a crawl.
As Marchbaby dealt with the sand showing him no mercy Alpha dared the Tentacruel to strike. It was quite confident that it could endure any single hit the jellyfish Pokemon could send it's way. " Well come on then, show me what you got, it you are brave enough to strike a Weavile you certainly must be brave enough to brawl with a Metang such as myself. Unlike Kamikaze the sandstorm will not help you against me at all." Aplha then braced knowing that by egging on a Tentacruel it was sure to anger the tough looking Pokemon.
Marchbaby finally found an Ultra Ball and tossed it hoping Tentacruel would finally come with him.
OOC: Marchbaby switches out Kamikaze for Alpha the Metang. March tosses an Ultra Ball. Updating myself.

The Tentacruel would slam its tentacles down on the top of the water, spraying it everywhere. Where did that wily weasel go?! It began to screech out with a confusing, supersonic sound. Metang began to see ducks swimming in circles above its head as the confusion set in. Where were now two...no, five....ten Tentacruel?! And how did his trainer duplicate?! Wait...why did it have two extra hands?! The sandstorms tore into Tentacruel's body, making it much too tired to fight once the Ultra Ball swallowed it up.
SUCCESS!!

Marchbaby could not believe his eyes as the Ultra Ball shook for a third time before clicking shut. After such a tough fight he tought for sure the jellyfish Pokemon would break free again but instead he figured the Sandstorm must have finally convined Tentacruel that xoming along with him was better than sand continuing to smack it in the face without mercy. As he finally came back down to Earth Marchbaby recalled Alpha not wanting to get the robotic Pokemon too wet from the splashing of the ocean. He could also see his path to Cainwood was now clear but he wanted to look around the area more and possibly capture more Pokemon. He did not have a whole lot of Ultra Balls left but figured it should be enough for one more encounter before he would have to buy more. " That was a very tough fight, I never dreamed a Tentacruel could resist capture so many times but I am glad I finally managed to capture it. I think I will call her Jelly as it is easy to remember." He then turned his attwntion to Patrick who was no even close to tired though it was still scared half to death after encountering such a powerful Pokemon. Patrick clearly needed a lot more training before it would be able to help battle anything in the area but so long as it could carry Marchbaby on it's back he knew that alone made it worth the effort of protecting the young Starmie. As they got closer to the next route Marchbaby had Patrick make a hard right staying just within the boundries of Route 40 so that he could see what other Pokemon may be lurking in the area while hoping that nothing would put up as much of a fight as Tentacruel had. " Let's surf around this area for now. I bet even in this sandstorm a bunch of other Pokemon call this place home. I imagine even larger water types could comfortably live around here as long as they avoid the Whirlpool infested waters around the Whirl Islands." He said as Patrick continued to focus on his surfing skills. The young Starmie stayed way clear of any area of water that looked like a Whirlpool could form as they both searched for another encounter. Marchbaby had Kamikaze's and Alpha's Pokeball's ready to go in the event he needed help from either of them. OOC: Requesting another daytime surfing encounter on Route 40. Though March doesn't make landfall he has now unlocked Cainwood after all these years. Adding Jelly to March's PC.  TentacruelName: Jelly Gender: Female Level: 24 OT: Marchbaby Wolfgang Moves: Supersonic, Water Pulse, Screech, Bubble Beam Ability: Clear Body Nature/Personality: Modest, Despite the tough fight she put up against Marchbaby who tried to capture her several times Jelly is quite sweet compaired to most Tentacruel. Though she is not a fan of battles when she is forced into one she prefers to stick to ranged attacks. She has a friendly rivalry with Alpha and Kamikaze. |

A smallish rock stands amongst the waves, jutting out of the water's surface. A strange cry rings out as a large, blue, frog like Pokemon stands atop it, hands on its hips. It glares down at Marchbaby, and points down at him and his Pokemon. With another cry, it demands a battle! A Wild Poliwhirl appeared!  Level 28. What will Marchbaby do? |

As the Poliwhirl challenged Marchbaby to a battle he was quite surprised to see such an odd Pokemon so far out in the ocean. Poliwhirl was a water type however it was not a Pokwmon that came to Marchbaby's mind whwn it came to ocean dwelling Pokwmon. He was glad to run into one as he needed it for the Pokedex however he knew it would be a very hard Pokemon to catch if he tried to capture it at full health. He did not want to waste a lot of time trying to capture it either so he decided to use a aomewhat risky move to try and make capturing it as easy as possible.
Alpha and Kamikaze were not quite able to hit hard enough for his plans so Marchbaby sent out Vör to get the job done as the Lucario wasted no time in joining Poliwhirl on the small rock. " Vör I am going to need your help with this Poliwhirl. Using you is a bit risky but I think it is worth the risk." Vör then stared at the water type across from.her sensing it was no push over and that she would need all of her strength in order to best Poliwhirl. " This Poliwrath looks pretty tough, I have no doubt it will be a worthy opponent. " She then waited for Marchbaby to give her the order to strike.
Marchbaby waited for a few moments as he wanted to make sure he was fully committed to the plan as he knew there was a risk of knocking the water type in a aingle blow. He knew the alternatives were not as gopd options overall and finally committed to his plan hoping that he would not knock the Poliwhirl out by mistake. " Vör please use your Aura Sphere attack. After it hits if Poliwhirl is not knocked out I will try and toss an Ultra Ball." As Vör went to strike her target Marchbaby fumbled around in his backpack as he tried to find a Ultra Ball with one hand while holding onto Patrick with the other as the sandstorm refused to let up.
He hoped that between the sandstorm and Aura Sphere that Poliwhirl would be strong enough to endure both while weak enough not to break out of an Ultra Ball. As he had no experience battling Poliwhirl however all he could do was hope for the best and wait.
OOC: Marchbaby sends out Vör who uses Aura Sphere. If Poliwhirl endures the Aura Sphere and sandstorm Marchbaby will toss an Ultra Ball. Not updating the ball yet just in case Poliwhirl gets knocked out.

It was rare that the poliwhirl met something new to challenge and it was excited to see Marchbaby, it was almost pushed down the rock when Vör was called out right beside it, but it straightened and did its best to stare her down. Her sphere hit it straight in the stomach and sent it flying out into the water, the Poliwhirl popped back up and blasted a beam of bubbles at the lucario. As the fighting type didn't seem to bothered and the sand whirling around was getting bothersome, the poliwhirl decided it had gotten enough and dived.  Vör got 1400 exp and grows a level to [Lv 35]! (666/3781) She is already at max happiness. |

As much as Marchbaby hoped he would be able to capture the Poliwhirl he knew he would get another chance at some point. For now he decided he would make a quick pitstop in Cainwood so that he could make a change to his team. As Kamikaze would not be a huge help in either of his next two gym battles Marchbaby wanted to give Mama the Trapinch a chance to shine. " Alright Mama, let's see what you can do. I do not have much experience around Trapinch however I did see a few Flygon in Blackthorn from time to time and I know that is your final evolution."
The only other thing he knew about Trapinch was their powerful bite and he had a gut feeling that Mama would have to rely on that for quite some time until she was able to evolve. Marchbaby having seen a number of Flygon over the years knew the effort would be worth it to raise her but doing so would not be an easy task. " With all the water types around this area you will have your work cut out for you. I have faith that you wikl rise to the challenge." As he walked out of the Pokemon Center he sent Patrick back out so that he could surf on the Starmie's back.
The Starmie already knew what to do as it waited for Marchbaby to climb on it's back before it started to surf along the waves of route 40 in search of more Pokemon to capture or battle. He wished he could safely explore the Whirl Islands but with all the whirlpools all he could do was look at them from a distance wondering what secrets might still be out there. As he was watching the islands Patrick kept a close eye out on anything that might pose a danger in front of them. The Starmie knew all too well how dangerous deep water like this could be if one let their guard down.
" I sure do wonder what we will find next. I am sure there are still a.number of Pokemon we have not seen yet that call this area home. I really hope we find something Mama can handle so that I can give her a chance to battle. I doubt we will in such deep water however." He said as he waited for a Pokemon to challenge them as they sailed the high seas.

Continuing to surf through the waters, Marchbaby would notice the water moving in a strange way. Upon closer inspection, the waves were moving with the motion of something large swimming under the surface. As a dark splotchy shadow grew larger and larger, the water surged, splashing against Marchbaby and Patrick. A Wailmer emerged from beneath the ocean's surface, and playfully sprayed water into the air. A Wild Wailmer Breached the Surface!  Wailmer level 28. What will Marchbaby do?

At first Marchbaby thought Patrick had hit a sand bank as the water seemed to surge in an odd way however as a Wailmer appeared from beneath the waves he was truly in shock. " My word, a Wailmer getting this close to us? What an amazing sight. I knew they could get big but I have never seen one up close before. What a fantastic encounter this has become. I need to capture it for my Pokedex and my team as it will be a great Pokemon to partner up with Patrick." As he already made up his mind to capture the Wailmer he just needed to figure out which Pokemon he wanted to use to weaken it before he tried to capture it.
The Sandstorm had yet to give up and Kamikaze would likely do too much damage to the poor whale Pokemon along with her taking damage from the sandstorm made her far too risky. Ultimately just like with Jelly Marchbaby decided that Alpha would be his best choice to try and weaken Wailmer before doing a capture attempt. " Alpha I could use your help again, this friendly Wailmer just breached right next to us and I want to capture it. Doing so however will take a bit of convincing from you first." He then tossed the Pokeball containing the Metang onto a small rocky island near the Wailmer. Alpha then appeared and looked at it's foe quite impressed by it's size.
" That is a big target, it does not look too mean but I will try and help end this as soon as I can just to be safe." As the Metang readied itself for a close range fight Marchbaby thought of which attack to use first. He knew that Wailmer were not known for either of their defenses however as Alpha did not know any super effective moves he hoped the whale Pokemon would be able to endure at least one hit from Zen Headbutt before he could try and Ultra Ball.
" Alpha it is a bit risky to use your best move here but I think there is a good chance Wailmer can endure it once even in this sandstorm. Use Zen Headbutt and then I will toss this Ultra Ball. Maybe we will get lucky unlike with Poliwhirl in the last encounter. I am very interested to see what a Wailmer can do when they go up against a Metang such as yourself.
OOC: Marchbaby sends out Alpha who uses Zen Headbutt. March then tosses an Ultra Ball. Updating the ball myself.
