As Mantine easily swatted away the first Ultra Ball Marchbaby was hardly surprised. As weak as Mantine was it was still quite skilled at batting away even the strongest ball used against it. The good new for Marchbaby was that Mantine would only take a small amount of damage every turn from.the Sandstorm so he knew he would have a few more chances before it would be knocked out from.the weather. " This Mantine sure is skilled at batting away Ultra Balls, that last try did not have a hope of working. Maybe we will.have better luck on our second try."
He did not have any way to draw attention from himself Marchbaby decided to try his luck again hoping that this time Mantine would be more open to coming with him as he tossed another Ultra Ball at Mantine.

As Mantine easily batted away yet another Ultra Ball Marchbaby was hardly surprised as he had heard a number of stories about how easily Mantine could avoid capture. Even worse for him this round however was that Mantine finally decided to use a move that caused damage this round scoring a direct hit against Vör with Bubble Beam. It did not come close to knocking her out but it did do enough damage to start to worry him. He knew she could safely endure one more round no matter what before he would have to consider switching her out. As Mantine was starting to get really weak however doing so could be a very costly choice.
" This Mantine certainly has some fight in it. I knew it would be hard to catch but I am quite impressed. If I manage to capture this one it is going on my team for sure. Hang in there Vör we just need luck to be on our side once. So far we have not had the luck we need but it can shift at any time and hopefully this round is when the shift occurs." He looked at the three Ultra Balls he still had in his hand and started to wonder if they would be enough deep down. The sandstorm also coming close to knocking Mantine out did not help as by his calculations he would only have four more chances to capture it.
" I sure hope luck is on our side as this would be a fantastic catch to go along with Odysseus, no one would believe me if I said I captured a Wailord and a Mantine on the same route but I would have proof if luck changed for me soon." He said in frustration before facing Vör who was eagerly awaiting another attack from Mantine. She was quite prepared to take another hit for the team and Marchbaby was hoping that deep down she would not have too. It was all up to luck however as he enlarged one of the three Ultra Balls he was holding and took at at Mantine. Once he felt he had a good opening he threw the ball as hard and as fast as he could as it sped towards the large creature.
As it did Vör wished for good luck as well. " Maybe this will be the one? As bad as our luck has been it must shift back at some point."

As Marchbaby prepared for Mantine to break out again he was shocked as the ball continued to shake. With each shake his heart skipped a beat as he was sure the large creature would find a way to escape however after the third shake a loud click allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief. " Whew that was quite a battle. I am so happy we managed to capture that Mantine. That was quite a challenge but you did great Vör. I can hardly wait to see what our new friend is capable of once we head back to a Pokemon Center."Vör also let out a sigh of relief as she did not have to endure another hit as confident as she was about being able to do so. Before she could speak the sandstorm that had plagued Marchbaby finally ended with a balmy clear day replacing the awful weather. A slight breeze blew off the remaining dust from Marchbaby's clothes as he wiped his eyes. The clear weather was a welcome change for him even if he would miss the useful side of the recoil damage it would do to Pokemon he tried to capture. With the path ahead clear for now he put the two unused Ultra Balls back in his backpack before recalling Vör. Once she was safely back in her ball Marchbaby looked at Patrick trying to decide what to do next. If only he had the right badges he could use Odysseus to visit the Whirl Islands but as he lacked the right badges sending out the whale Pokemon would not do him much good for the time being. With little outer option left he decided to keep training as he ordered Patrick to surf towards another part of the ocean route hoping to encounter a Pokemon he had not encountered yet. " Patrick let's just surf around the area and see what pops up next. Our team needs a lot more training before we will be able to take on the next gym."As they surfed along Marchbaby took out the Pokeball containing Shocker and held it with a firm grip. He did not know if he would need to use the Magnezone anytime soon but he wanted to be prepared. After encountering two large water types he knew having Shocker ready just in case could not hurt. He was also still quite eager to see what other Pokemon lived in the area. OOC: Looking for another surfing daytime encounter. Adding Kite to March's PC. MantineName: Kite Gender: Female Level: 30 OT: Marchbaby Wolfgang Moves: Wide Guard, Agility, Bubble Beam, Headbutt Ability: Water Absorb Nature/Personality: Calm, Kite is calm even under the most dangerous moments. She takes advantage of her ability to guide to catch enemies off guard. Her large size allows her to reduce the effectiveness of ranged attacks while using her own ranged attacks to strike back.

The sun shone and a few lazy clouds dozed on the sky, the day was pleasant and peaceful and it spread with the sunrays which traveled quite far down into the clear ocean water. A round wailmer enjoyed the warmer weather near the surface and playfully jumped out of the water to end back down with a mighty splash. It looked curiously at Marchbaby and jumped again, inviting him to play. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/wailmer.gif) Wailmer [Lv 24] popped up. Shiny: RPdkDet61-421-42

As Marchbaby saw the Wailmer jump into the air he thought it was trying to challenge him to a battle instead of just trying to get him to play. Wailmer's large size combined with the large splashes it would make whenever it landed caused him to worry quite a bit as Patrick could easily get knocked over by the large waves. As much as he hated to do it he knew using Shocker to put an end to the Wailmer's dangerous splashes was his only option as he tossed the Pokeball containing the Magnezone towards the ocean. As soon as it popped open the steel type floated just above the waves looking at him.
" Shocker I hate to ask you for help again but this Wailmer is either oblivious to how dangerous it can be to play around humans or it is trying to challenge use to a battle. Either way I need you to chase it off before any of us get hurt." Shocker quickly got into position near the Wailmer and looked straight into the whale Pokemon's eyes trying to determine where to aim to cause as much damage as possible. Shocker already had the upper hand when it came to type but it could not pass up any chance to gain even more of an advantage. After a few moments Shocker decided to aim right at the Wailmer's mouth believing such a hit would easily get the job done.
" Shocker I take it that you know where to aim already? Wailmer are not great at enduring hits but I know due to their size that underestimating them can be a huge mistake. Make sure you bring it down in one hit or else we might be in a lot of trouble." As he composed himself to order the well trained Magnezone to strike Shocker already started to build up and electric charge as there was no doubt electric type moves were the only ones to consider in such a situation. Seeing the sparks build up Marchbaby ordered Shocker to strike with Thunderbolt to take advantage of it's type advantage.
" Shocker you have the right idea in mind. Use your Thunderbolt on Wailmer and aim for it's mouth. One hit there should be more than enough to get it to run off without anyone else getting hurt." As soon as the order was given Shocker fired off a huge burst of electricity aimed at the Wailmer's mouth and waited for the results.
OOC: Just noting that as Biff is holding a Cleanse Tag all wild encounters will be the max level which is level 30 in this case. Shocker is sent out and uses Thunderbolt.

As Shocker blasted the poor Wailmer right in the mouth the whale Pokemon scurried off without any hesitation. As the waves from the fleeing whale Pokemon crashed against Patrick the starfish Pokemon was barely able to stay afloat. As the waves finally calmed down Marchbaby continued to hold on for dear life until he was sure the danger had passed. He could not believe how big waves could get around a Wailmer and he was quite glad to have a few moments to rest. As he looked at Patrick to make sure the Starmie was OK he finally spoke as his nerves calmed down.
" Wow that was quite an experience, I never thought we would run into a second Wailmer, is everyone OK? We have to be super careful with all these large Pokemon around. For some reason we seem to be a magnet for them lately. We do not want to get caught off guard if another Wailord jumps out as the first encounter was quite scary enough." As he watched the ocean around him for any signs of more large Pokemon coming up from the briny deep Shocker floated around acting as a second pair of eyes trying to prevent a disaster from happening.
As Marchbaby wanted to give himself as much time as he could to react he had Patrick slow down to a crawl as he did not want to go airborne by ramming a Wailord or Mantine at full speed. " Since we know there are a number of large Pokemon out here surf as slow as you can Patrick, at least we will have a bit of time to get out of the way. I knew the open ocean could be dangerous but I never dreamed it could have so many dangers just by surfing on the back of a Starmie." As they surfed along Marchbaby could spot an area with air bubbles reaching the surface and he got ready to take evasive action just in case a Pokemon surfaced.
He tugged on Patrick to make a hard right as he watched the bubbles grow larger, due to the foam caused by waves it was hard to tell the size of whatever was beneath the waves but he did not want to take any chances. " Shocker be ready again just in case. Depending on what surfaces I might need your help once again." The group then anxiously waited for the submerged Pokemon to pop out so Marchbaby could make his final decision.
OOC: Waiting on another encounter.

Something floated on the top of the water, seemingly chill for the time being. It noticed Marchbaby surfing away on his Pokemon, but didn't seem to have a care in the world about either of them. Instead, it raised one tentacle up in the air and waved to them while it floated around aimlessly. A Wild Tentacool appeared! Level 30. What will Marchbaby do? Shiny? |Y6w9PWA1-421-42

The waving Tentacool seemed to be quite tame compared to Jelly however Marchbaby felt that it might still prove useful to capture it as he had not captured a Tentacool yet. He also saw it as a fantastic training partner for Vör who could always use a bit more training so that once she was needed for another gym battle she would be ready. Marchbaby tossed the Pokeball containing Vör onto a small rock nearby as Vör eagerly looked at her opponent. It was no Mantine but even a smaller water type like Tentacool could still cause trouble if they stalled for too long.
" OK Vör, I would like you to help me weaken out new friend here. It should not be as hard as Jelly, Odysseus, or Kite to capture but I still want to soften it up a bit first just in case and you have the perfect move to do so." He cracked his knuckles and popped his back as he waited for Vör to signal that she was ready with her attack. It was not too long before she nodded and Marchbaby went over the plan hoping for a repeat of his luck against Kite.
" Since I do not want us knocking this poor thing out we will have to show a bit of restraint and your Force Palm is perfect. It should do enough damage to make breaking out of a Ultra Ball very tough even if we do not get lucky but if we do it will become almost a guaranteed chance." Vör then started to build up aura energy on her palm as she waited for Tentacool to get just close enough that she could reach the jellyfish Pokemon without falling into the water and reducing her fighting ability.
" Hey little buddy can I get you to come closer for just a moment?" She said hoping curiosity would overcome the Tentacool's senses so that she could strike. As she waited to see if the poor wild Pokemon would make the mistake of getting too close Marchbaby noticed the Safari Ball containing Mama had broken open and the young Trapinch was clinging onto Patrick for dear life with her sharp teeth. He had to quickly grab the ball and recall the young Trapinch as there was no way she would survive for long in an environment such as this. With the danger to Mama passed for the time being Marchbaby turned back to face Vör waiting for her to strike.
It was then that he realized that he would have the perfect chance to capture Tentacool if Vör was able to hit her target and he grabbed an Ultra Ball from his backpack and got ready to toss it hoping his plan would pan out.
OOC: Vör is sent out and uses Force Palm then Marchbaby tosses a Ultra Ball. Updating the ball myself.

As the Ultra Ball clicked shut Marchbaby was thrilled as he had heard rumors of a trainer in Cherrygrove City willing to trade their Numel for Tentacool and he wasted no time at all heading back to shore and then slowly but surely to the location of the trainer. As they made the trade Marchbaby then headed back towards Olivine to continue his training and his search for other Pokemon in the area. As he climbed back onto Patrick they made their way to the middle of the ocean route to start looking for more Pokemon while being cautious of both the waves and potential large Pokemon in the area.
" What a nice adventure that was, that Numel we got should come in handy once we take on the Olivine Gym but for now we need to keep training. I am quite curious to see what we encounter next." As he prepared for whatever jumped out next Patrick took great care not to go too fast as it was too risky to speed through the area. Given most of their recent encounters being safe rather than sorry was a good strategy and Marchbaby had an easier time hanging on as a result of the greatly reduced speed as well. It took a bit longer than usual but after some time they reached the middle of the ocean.
Marchbaby stared at the deep blue water and was filled with glee at the thought of what other Pokemon might be hiding just beneath the surface. He had met a number of Pokemon on the route but was absolutely sure he had not seen every Pokemon in the area yet and he also wanted to see if another large Pokemon would jump out at him as he could always use a spare one. It was not too long after they reached the middle that another series of air bubbles started to come up from the ocean and Marchbaby wasn't sure which of his Pokemon to use this time as he did not want to knock whatever it was out until he knew it was a Pokemon he did not need.
Like before he chose to play things safe and wait as he had both Vör's and Shocker's Pokeball ready to go. Neither Pokemon had struggled much against the Pokemon they had encountered so he knew at least having both Pokemon ready could not hurt even if he ended up using a different Pokemon.
OOC: Keeping Vör's current moves and leaving Tentacool blank as March is using it to trade for Numel in the Cherrygrove NPC trade. Looking for another daytime surfing encounter with the Cleanse Tag still active in this thread.

A strange fish charged at them from seemingly out of nowhere. It SCREAMED at the top of its lungs for Marchbaby to get lost! Trainers were not welcomed this THIS area of the ocean! Not now, not EVER! A Wild Remoraid appeared! Level 30. What will Marchbaby do? Shimmer shine? vsYPHDRw1-421-42

As the Remoraid appeared Marchbaby was caught totally off guard. Such a small Pokemon living alongside so many large Pokemon could not be easy and to make things even worse for the poor thing it did not seem to like trainers very much. Marchbaby hoped he could change it's mind however as it would make for an excellent addition to his team and at it's level it had to be close to evolving. Factoring both of those things in Marchbaby debated whether to cause damage or just try and outright capture it as it seemed like it might be a very frail Pokemon.
" Why hello there little critter, I have encountered so many large Pokemon in this area I am shocked to see such a small Pokemon around. Life must be really tough for you with Mantine, Tentaruel, Wailmer, and Wailord swimming around you. If you would like to come with me I can make you stronger and get you away from such large Pokemon." He then grabbed tossed the Pokeball containing Shocker at the ocean so the fish Pokemon could see an unfamiliar face hoping it would serve as a nice distraction. He hoped seeing such a strong Pokemon would also win the young thing over.
" This here is Shocker one of my most trustworthy Pokemon. If you join me I can make you strong like it is. I know it might be a scary choice but I promise you it will be worth it. Not many Remoraid would get the chance to train with a dragon apprentice." He then grabbed a Ultra Ball from his backpack and showed it to the fish Pokemon. It probably knew what a Pokeball was but combined with seeing Shocker he hoped the fish would jump at the chance to join him instead of putting up a fight and being tough to catch. After he waited a few moments for Remoraid to make it's choice he got ready to toss the ball as Shocker stood by ready to protect him should Remoraid reject his first offer.
" I hope you have made up your mind already but I am prepared to try more than once to convince you to come with me. I have little doubt you will be well worth the cost in the long run. Ultra Ball capture Remoriad.=!" He then tossed the ball as hard and as fast as he could as he waited for the results and Shocker braced for impact just in case.
OOC: Shocker is sent out and March tosses an Ultra Ball. Updating the ball myself.
