Marchbaby seemed to have been blessed by a golden horseshoe as Force Palm caused paralysis yet again. As the Tentacruel struggled to move it still managed to get off it's first attack but after failing to get off the second one Marchbaby knew the poor jellyfish Pokemon would be a lot easier to capture now. Even so he figured it was only just above fifty fifty odds and he did not want to try just yet as Vör could probably use Force Palm safely without knocking out the tough Tentacruel before Marchbaby could try to spam Ultra Balls to capture it. He also was in no hurry to end this battle as a cool frost filled the area making for quite a comfortable surf.
" This frost feels great compared to that sandstorm earlier. A shame Kamikaze isn't better at swimming or else she would really like this weather. Hopefully when we explore the beach later there will be a hailstorm so she can really enjoy cold weather for a change." Marchbaby then looked over at Vör who was shaking off all the water from the previous rounds before it could slow her down in any way. Even with Tentacruel paralyzed she did not want to take any chances even if she had a pretty big upper hand currently. Had he not been trying to capture Tentacruel he would have considered switch out for Odysseus so he could have some fun but knew Vör was the best Pokemon currently for the task at hand.
" That Bubble Beam could be dangerous if Tentacruel keeps using it. I can endure a few of them but I am not sure exactly how many I can take. Do you wish for me to use Force Palm again?" Vör asked as Marchbaby nodded. Seconds later Vör started to build up aura energy in her paws again and got ready to strike the paralyzed Tentacruel again knowing that this would be the last one she could use without risking a knockout blow. As she made her way to the target Marchbaby grabbed one of his Ultra Balls from his backpack and got ready to toss it at the jellyfish Pokemon.
" Vör right after you use Force Palm I will try to capture Tentacruel. It might be a tough catch but like Jelly I think it will be worth the effort if we succeed." He said before taking up a good throwing pose and waiting for the right moment.
OOC: Vör uses Force Palm then Marchbaby tosses a Ultra Ball.

Luck seemed to be wearing thin for Marchbaby and Vör. While the Force Palm went straight in, the tentacruel countered with a blast of water which knocked the lucario so senseless she got confused about where and what she was doing. The ultra ball was flung but the timing wasn't right this time, and the tentacruel moved so it splashed into the water and disappeared into the depths without the poisonous jeelyfish really noticing. Ghostly shadows twisted and turned around Vör attempting to crush her. Wild Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Tentacruel LV 30 HP 25% [24/97]

As the Ultra Ball broke open it was quite clear this was going to be a difficult capture. To make matters worse Vör was now confused and on low health with no healing moves. He could use an item to heal her however he had a better idea as he recalled Vör and sent out Odyssues in her place. He did not want to do it but it was his best choice for the time being. The large whale Pokemon took up a ton of space even crushing the large rock Vör had been standing on as he stared at the Tentacruel. " Odysseus it looks like you will get to have some fun after all."
As Marchbaby eyed the Wailord with awe it got ready to brace for impact from one of Tentacruel's moves. As he got ready to take a hit Marchbaby considered all of his options carefully as he was not sure if Odysseus could cause any damage to Tentacruel without knocking it out. He was not sure and did not want to risk it as Tentacruel could not endure much more and he did not ant to waste this encounter only getting experience from so much effort. Before he could fetch another Ultra Ball Odysseus looked at him wondering what the dragon apprentice planned on doing in this situation.
The large whale Pokemon was ready to try anything Marchbaby said even if it meant he had to serve as a punching bag for a few rounds while Marchbaby tried his luck with the stock of Ultra Balls he had. As Marchbaby took aim with another ball Odysseus started to bounce up and down on the waves to act as a distraction so that he could try and capture Tentacruel again before it could cause any more damage. If luck did not change soon Marchbaby might have to switch to Shocker but he hoped to avoid that unless there was no other way. Shocker could probably last a round or two as well but Odysseus was the best type to endure Tentacruel's moves.
" Odysseus keep distracting Tentacruel for me, I know it is not ideal but it is the best option for now. Hopefully this next Ultra Ball does a better job as that last one did not work at all." He then tossed the ball as hard as he could and hoped he could get lucky this round.
OOC: Just noting Bubble Beam cannot cause confusion but Water Pulse Can. Also as Tentacruel is Paralyzed it should have around a 67% chance of capture though it still would have failed this round. Vör is swapped out for Odysseus and then tossing an Ultra Ball and updating myself.

As Marchbaby captured another Tentacruel he and his team were totally exhausted. They had gotten quite the haul from their ocean adventures and decided to camp out on the nearby beach for some well deserved rest. As Marchbaby started to pitch a tent on a patch of dirt just off the beach he noticed multiple Pokemon in the area watching him carefully. Most just seemed to be curious and did not seem to be planning anything troublesome however one of the Corphish started to charge towards him out of the blue for whatever reason and he had no choice other than to battle it. Being near the beach and the ocean being nearby he felt as though using Odysseus was the best choice in the situation.
" I was hoping we would get to rest for a bit before we got into another battle but this Corphish must think we are trespassing on it's territory. Since I have not captured one yet I would like to catch it over knocking it out you will be perfect for that task Odysseus. We just need to soften it up a bit and then everything should fall into place." He said as he considered which move to use. Heavy Slam might be a good choice but as Corphish would resist it and it would not get any bonus damage he quickly dismissed the idea. Brine seemed like the best idea of the remaining moves even if Corphish would resist it as well.
" Odysseus none of your moves should do too much damage but Brine should be the best choice without being too risky. You should also be able to resist any water type attacks it tries so that should help as well as we try to weaken it enough. A shame you do not know any status inflicting moves as they would be very useful about now." He then watched as Odysseus swallowed a huge amount of water before taking aim at the Corphish. Once he had a mouthful of water he spit it directly at the water type trying to score a direct hit as Marchbaby looked on in awe. Even being around the large Wailord for some time he was still not used to the scale he could operate on.
" I do not think I will ever get used to how large a scale you are Odysseus, very few Pokemon can come close to your size. We still need to be careful as the old saying goes the bigger they are the harder they fall."

As Odysseus recovered from the powerful Night Slash Marchbaby began to wonder when he should try and capture the Corphish as he did not want to knock it out with a critical hit by mistake. The Mystic Water he was holding only made it even riskier to strike again and as much as he wanted to cause more damage to ensure a capture he could not risk his chance. " This is far from ideal but I thibk it is time I try and capture Corphish instead of rolling the dice with another attack. Odysseus I just need you to act as a distraction this time and hopefully we can bring an end to this battle."
As he started to dig through his backpack to grab a Ultra Ball Odysseus stared at his foe with a large grin. The blue whale Pokemon was not scared by such a small foe even if it's claws could cause a decent amount of damage. The size discrepancy was in his favor as it was but not needing to knock out his foe only made Odysseus even more confident as he continued to wait for Marchbaby to find a Ultra Ball to use. After a few minutes the young dragon apprentice finally found two and took aim at Corphish holding the second Ultra Ball as a backup as Odysseus started to bounce up and down to keep Corphish distracted.
" Great work Odysseus, just a few more seconds is all I should need. I have a second Ultra Ball in case the first fails but I hope we can avoid needing to use both as they are not cheap to replace. Such a high leveled Corphish is well worth the risk however as few of their kind are this strong." He then leaned back and tossed one of the Ultra Balls while holding on the the backup as Odysseus continued to wait until the first one scored a hit before ending his distraction. As the ball was inches from it's target Marchbaby started to cross his fingers knowing it was all up to luck at this point.
" Please Arceus let this work, Odysseus can take a hit or two but his defenses will not hold up for more than a few tries. Such a high leveled foe will grant him a lot of experience if the capture works." As soon as he said his prayer he turned towards the beach as he thought he heard another Pokemon in the distance. If his plan panned out he knew he would have to explore the beach more to see what else he would run into.
OOC: Marchbaby tosses a Ultra Ball. If it fails he tosses a second one. Removing 1 Ultra Ball from March's inventory.

As the Ultra Ball clicked shut Marchbaby was quite relieved as he was not sure how many rounds Odysseus could endure against against attacks he did not resist and did not feel like finding out anytime soon. The craw fish Pokemon put up a pretty good fight and knew it would have a lot of potential with some training. " With claws like that one could make quite a nice serving of Jambalaya, come to think of it I think that is a perfect name for such a delectable Pokemon such as yourself. I can hardly wait to see what you can do once you get trained enough." As the Ultra Ball disappeared and transferred to one of his boxes Marchbaby could turn his attention back to exploring more of the beach. Odysseus kept a close eye on the shore as he swam along the edges of the beach hardly able to maneuver due to his size. While he made sure that no Pokemon could sneak up on Marchbaby from the ocean the young dragon tamer walked along the beach looking for any other cool Pokemon that might call the area home. After a few minutes of walking he saw another Corphish in the distance and knew it would make a great gift for Kevin if he could catch it. A thick fog started to roll in right as he approached the water type and though the weather would make it harder to keep track of the strange Pokemon the same would be true for Corphish trying to track any of his own Pokemon even one as large as Odysseus. " This is not the best weather to explore a beach but such poor visibility works both ways. Odysseus be on guard as this next Corphish looks pretty tough as well. I think your Brine will come in handy here as long as the fog does not cause you to miss. Such a small target might be hard to hit with how limited your view will be." As he stepped back to watch the Wailord work it's magic Patrick tried it's best to provide some light through the thick fog but it could not gather enough of the sun's rays to pierce the fog. As much as it had hoped it could help Odysseus the Starmie could only watch and hope that the fog would not play too much of a roll in the battle.

As the thick fog started to lift Marchbaby knew that the poor visibility was not going to be a problem for either Pokemon much longer. Even so the weather was far from what he would consider pleasant as a lite dusting of snow had covered the beach. The thin layer of snow was not enough to harm most Pokemon or make a huge difference on the battlefield but it was still annoying to deal.with. He was still eager to hunt for more Corphish despite the challenges of the weather and started to search through his backpack for another Ultra Ball hoping to put an end to.the current battle before the strange weather took a turn for the worse.
" I do not know how long the Corphish on this beach will stay out in weather like this so we are going to have to hope this Ultra Ball can handle things quickly. As much as I would love to let Odysseus have more fun I think he has softened Corphish up enough now." As Marchbaby waved to the giant whale Pokemon Odysseus fired off a large spout of water before backing up a bit so he could react if the Ultra Ball failed to secure it's target. As he got intoi a good position to keep an eye on the tough looking water type Marchbaby took aim and got ready to toss the ball.
He lifted up his right leg and wound up a pitch before sending the ball flying towards Corphish as hard and as fast as he could muster and then watched as the small sphere flew towards the wild Pokemon. As he waited to see if luck would be on his side Marchbaby watched as Odysseus started to bounce up and down on the waves trying to get Corphish to look away long enough for the Ultra Ball to do it's job. The bouncing motion caused large waves to.head towards the beach as they violently collided with the sand. The waves were not quite big enough to reach Corphish or Marchbaby but they were big enough that even the most oblivious Pokemon would take notice.
As Odysseus was putting on a wave show Vör stood by as usual just in case she had to.jump into the frey. She feared she would knock out Corphish if she had to get involved but would not hesitate if she had to help Odysseus handle.the craw fish Pokemon.

As the Ultra Ball clicked shut Marchbaby was very relieved that things were going so well for him so far. The weather on the beach had improved as the battle ended as a Chinook blew away the fog covering the area causing the beach to become quite slippery but at the same time no Pokemon could get a lucky break thanks to poor visibility. Just as Marchbaby was about to leave the beach and head for another area he spotted another Corphish off in the distance and figured trying to capture one more while he was here would not hurt and Odysseus still needed to train a bit more while they had a chance. " Ah another Corphish has come out to battle. I do not know how ling it will stay out in such odd weather so let's battle it while we have the chance. Odysseus you have done great so far but I need your help one final time before you can rest. Let's see if our lucky streak will continue." As he approached the craw fish Pokemon with Odysseus keeping an eye on both Marchbaby and the wild Pokemon it was not long before he had managed to build up enough water to strike the moment he was given the order. Once Marchbaby was close enough to Corphish he called out to the wild Pokemon hoping to get it's attention so that Odysseus could strike while it was distracted. " Hey Corphish, I am glad to see you out and about in such weird weather. I admire any brave Pokemon coming out in such conditions. Would you like to have a battle to pass some time? I know your species can be quite tough and I love a good battle." As he waited to see what the Corphish would do Odysseus took aim and got ready to fire off a large Brine from his blowhole. As the Corphish seemed to take interest in Marchbaby he turned to the large Wailord and ordered him to strike relying on quick timing and surprise would be enough to get the first hit off before Corphish could even know what was happening. " Odysseus quick, use Brine on Corphish, let's hope we can weaken it enough to make capturing it easier. This is the last one we will need for now if things go our way." With an Ultra Ball in his hand Marchbaby then waited to see the results of the first round. OOC: Requesting another Corphish, Odysseus uses Brine. Odysseus is holding a Mystic Water and the Cleanse Tag is still in effect so Corphish will be level 30. Putting Gumbo in March's PC.

Despite his quick command it seemed as though this Corphish was smarter than most as it was able.to get off it's Protect before Odysseus could strike completely shielding it from damage though by doing so it did not cause Odysseus any damage and for.that Marchbaby was quite thankful. After such a smart use of Protect however Marchbaby wanted this Corphish even more as a smart Corphish could be super useful for situations that required careful cutting. Though he could not make use of his Ultra Ball yet Marchbaby kept a tight grip on it for when it was the right time. For the time being however he had to keep trying to cause damage to Corphish no matter how hard Protect might make it to pull off.
" It is not very often you see a wild Pokemon make use of Protect to get out of a bad situation much less when the move about to hit them is one they resist but I have to give you credit Corphish, Odysseus is going to have his work cut out for him trying to brake through that move unless he gets lucky." As Marchbaby turned to Odysseus the mighty Wailprd was not even remotely bothered by the small setback as he still had plenty of energy to launch another Brine at his target whenever he was given the order to strike.
The slippery weather did not help much but so long as Odysseus was willing to keep trying there was no chance Marchbaby was going to switch his stratgey as it had worked so well up to this point. " So Odysseus, what do you say we give our new friend here a nice test of their protecting skills? It may have worked the first time but I have a feeling sooner or later you will catch it off guard. Try using Brine again and see if we can get lucky on our second try." Odysseus then nodded as he slowly bobbed up and down in the water as he swallowed a mouthful of water before sending it towards his blowhole.
As he took aim he fired off another large amount of water at Corphish as Marchbaby waited. Even if his plan failed again Marchbaby knew enough about Protect to know if lost effectiveness the more it was used in succession and if he kept having Odysseus slowly fire away that sooner or later one of his Brine attacks would hit the mark.
OOC: Odysseus uses Brine again.
