Palm Beach- Zaiden and Shinya

Encountered Here.

[Venominon]

As he dug up and kicked over beach rocks with his right foot, Shinya had almost forgotten that he and Joltik weren't alone on said beach. Almost. Fortunately, kicking rocks was a good way for the Bug type trainer to vent the frustrations he had regarding Zaiden and his Pokemon. He got so into it that he ended up kicking one of the rocks particularly hard, but this rock didn't go flying like the others. And when Shinya tried to pull his leg back, he failed, as it felt like something had grabbed onto it out of seemingly nowhere. Shinya and Joltik looked down and were pleasantly surprised to see the very Pokemon that they were searching for. This caused Shinya to immediately grin his usual grin, showing absolutely no pain or discomfort after kicking the stone on Dwebble's back, or having his foot grabbed by the Bug/Rock type's claws. 

The Team Skull grunt was in such a good mood at that moment, that he completely ignored any and all complaints that came from the Rock Inn Pokemon. Instead, he jerked his foot away from Dwebble, and with Dwebble's claws still attached to his shoe, it was pulled right out of the sand as a result. "Standin' your ground and fightin' back, huh? I like that. You'll make a fine addition to Team Skull." Shinya declared, reaching into his bag to grab another Net Ball, as Dwebble continued to dangle from his shoe. However, before he got the chance to throw it, Joltik suddenly spotted something and started to panic, alerting her trainer right away. "Jol! Jol! Jol! Joltik!" Upon hearing Joltik's warning, Shinya lost his grin and turned his head just in time to see a bunch of rocks floating in mid-air.

At first, Shinya was both surprised and confused, but it only took him about five seconds to find the cause of this strange phenomenon. Standing several yards away from him was a wild Psyduck, making use of its Confusion attack to send rocks flying in all directions. Straight away, the wild Dwebble let go of Shinya's shoe and ducked inside its stone home for cover, while Shinya dodged every last rock that came his way, with Joltik clinging onto his shoulder for dear life. "Woah there! Easy, duck! What the heck is your deal?!" The Bug type trainer yelled at the Duck Pokemon as he dodged the incoming rocks, but then noticed a big red bump on the yellow Water type's head as soon as the rocks finally stopped coming. It was then that Shinya was able to put two and two together, realizing that one of the rocks he kicked away while searching for a Dwebble must've hit this Psyduck right in the head.

Although rather than apologize and beg for the Psyduck's forgiveness, Shinya just smirked and chuckled to himself a little, looking and sounding quite pleased with his handy work. "I guess my aim is better than I thought. And I don't even have psychic powers." As he chuckled, the Team Skull grunt also made fun of the fact that every single rock that Psyduck threw at him missed its target completely. Joltik got a few giggles out of this too, but the Bug type trainer and Pokemon regained their focus as soon as Dwebble emerged from its stone home to yell at the Psyduck for almost hitting it with some of the rocks. "Lettin' your guard down in front of a Team Skull grunt? Bad idea! Dwebble, you're mine!" While Dwebble was focused on Psyduck, Shinya threw the Net Ball in his hand as hard as he could, aiming right for Dwebble's actual body, rather than the stone house on its back.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- Lost to his inner thoughts, Zaiden wouldn’t initially notice the bright yellow duck as it began lifting tall rocks with its mind and tossed them about haphazardly around the sandy beachside. Instead, he focused on his own inner turmoil and how he was going to make it back to shore. He wanted to believe that there were other trainers that had taken the cruise, just like he did, that were now sick with worry about how they would eventually make it back home. Zaiden had a mother and a father who depended on him. If he didn’t do everything that he could to save their shop and the only home he had ever known, then who would? But, as a medium-sized grey rock with some uncharacteristically warm brown stripes zipped past his head in the space between his shoulder and neck, the beige lad would jump up high in the air and spin around. “W-watch it!” He accused Shinya, raising a finger and pointing at the Skull grunt angrily. Zaiden reacted to quick on his mixture of anxiety driven fear and newly sparked anger, that he didn’t even take the time to truly size up the situation and realize that the other trainer would have been innocent of the crime. “…!” Though he wanted to continue telling the Skull grunt off, letting them know just how ugly they were with their attitude, and how unnecessary it was to be as cruel as Shinya was, his anxiety would eventually choke off the rest of Zaiden’s words. However, whenever another large boulder zipped past Zaiden’s head and was obviously not caused by Shinya, the lad’s rich brown eyes would search around until they landed on the yellow-billed duck Pokemon. Another Psyduck?! Zaiden knew that he needed to act quickly. Without giving it much thought, he immediately pulled a free red-and-white Pokeball free from his belt and tossed it up in the air with a click of a button. A familiar small green turtle with her large yellow jaws and stubby yellow feet appeared. A small plant sprouted from the top of her head and had two small leaves clinging to its sapling ‘trunk’. Kamejima stood tall in the space as she searched around with her large yellow eyes until they landed on Zaiden with a bright smile. “Have I been called upon to be worshipped again?!” No matter how many times Zaiden tried to sign to her to attack the other Pokemon, Kamejima simply stretched across the ground and rolled onto her back to expose her soft belly. “Well…only if you insist! You may worship your future goddess!” She giggled. It wasn’t until the Psyduck picked up a small pebble and flung it past Kamejima’s head that she would begin lifting bright green leaves up into the air and tossing them in the bright yellow duck’s direction. “Hey, watch it! You’re messing with a future goddess here, ya know!” She informed the other Pokemon dismissively. “I’m not even trying to attack you. I just want to let these humans worship me. As they love to do when in the presence of a goddess!” she rocked and rolled back and forth, momentarily stuck on her back, until Zaiden helped roll her back onto her feet once more.

Both the dwebble and the psyduck had enjoyed their time on the beach, everyone had to deal with annoying neighbors once in a while, and occasionally storms might pass and force them to work to clean up their homes again, but overall it was a nice and easy life they had here.
Dwebble had never had something directly kick its shell before, usually it was birds who pecked at it, and it didn't like it. It grappled the thing which had hid it, and its expression darkened when it felt the thick leather-ish thing which had kicked it. It felt a lot like it would imagine psyduck's webbed foot to be, why had that stupid yellow duck kicked it? Had it so little control over its movements that it could stumble over it, although it had been much harder than a simple stumble, which it had tried before.
Shinya pulled it up from the sand and the dwebble's mouth fell open in shock. What was that?!

Psyduck had been sitting and sunning itself, enjoying the heat and the for once headache free time. It didn't last long as something sharp smacked into the back of its head. "Pssyyy," it groaned and tried to relax to avoid the headache becoming worse, the shouting cut through the air and with each word a pain shot through the yellow duck's head.
"Psyduck!" It shouted frustrated but it didn't stop the noice. A jolt went through it when the headache became too bad and it lost control of its psychic powers, the rocks around it began to glow and then flew wildly in all direction, barely avoiding hitting the others around it.

The dwebble turned to shout at it, wanting it to calm down so that they could figure out what was going on with this strange long legged creatures which had appeared (and kicked it), but the psyduck was holding its head groaning and didn't hear much of what was said. The dwebble glanced at Shinya when he spoke, it didn't like his tone of voice. It's eyes widened when a weirdly looking rock came flying towards it and it tried to withdraw into the safety of its shell, but was too slow and the net ball brushed its claw and sucked it inside.
The flash of light set off psyduck's headache again and as Kamekima shouted to it, she became the receiving end of its frustration.
"Psy-y-y-y-y-y!" It shouted and swiped its claws wildly around her without really looking, and missed with every swipe.

At first, Shinya rolled his eyes in annoyance once he heard Zaiden accuse him of the flying rocks, not all that surprised by the accusation, but still not enjoying it. "Oh sure. Blame the guy who's a member of a notorious gang. He must be guilty of every bad thing that happens to everyone." The Team Skull grunt spoke in a sarcastic tone, knowing very well that this particular situation was technically his fault in an indirect way. Of course, he didn't care about that one bit. However, Shinya did get a few chuckles off upon hearing Zaiden's Turtwig refer to herself as a goddess. "Tch. Goddess. Yeah right. And I'm a little leprechaun, looking for his pot of gold."

Once again, Shinya spoke in a sarcastic tone, but then got his grin back as soon as the Net Ball he threw at the Dwebble stopped shaking and was transported to his PC. "Excellent. Looks like we've got a new teammate, Joltik." The Bug type trainer glanced at the Bug type on his shoulder, and she was very happy to have a new friend on the team. "Joltik! Tik! Jol!" With that, the Bug type duo were about to turn away and leave, but another loud cry from the wild Psyduck immediately caught their attention and made them turn towards the battle at hand. It seemed like Zaiden and Kamejima had it under control, but Shinya just couldn't resist a chance to show them up, as his grin changed into a rather devilish one. Sure, he could've just walked away and looked for his own wild Pokemon to battle or catch. But what fun would that be?

"Hey Joltik, how 'bout we have a little fun?" Shinya asked the small Pokemon on his shoulder, and she got even more excited as a result, asking her trainer what they were gonna do. "Jol! Jol! Joltik?" As he answered her, Shinya raised his hand and pointed at the wild Psyduck, giving the Attaching Pokemon her first ever command. "Ya see that duck over there? Go give it a taste of your Electroweb." Joltik eyed the yellow Water type, then happily crawled off of her trainer's shoulder and crawled towards the Duck Pokemon as fast as her little legs could carry her, completely ignoring the presence of the other trainer and his Tiny Leaf Pokemon. "Tik! Tik! Joltik!" Joltik quickly spun an electrically charged web, then tossed it at the wild Psyduck, while Shinya walked over to Zaiden and asked him only a single question in a rather smug tone of voice. "Need a hand, scrub?"

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- The beige teenager stood still for a second and scratched the back of his head. His face scrunched up into a deep frown, although he kept his rich brown eyes glued to the soft white sands underneath his feet. Had he painted a picture of Shinya that was undeserving this time? Was he becoming no better than this rough-necked man? Zaiden took a deep breath and carefully released it as she shook his head firmly. “…” He needed to be stronger. He needed to be the better person. Who was he if he was not at least a better, kinder, and more thoughtful person than someone as rough and mean as this Skull Grunt? “…No…” He admitted. If it wasn’t his fault, it wouldn’t be his fault just because Shinya was part of some ‘notorious gang’. Though…was there an Officer Jenny on this beach? Pretty sure admitting to being affiliated with a gang was reasonable suspicion for something…right? That would be something Zaiden would report and let the police determine on their own, though. Kamejima turned her large yellow eyes to stare up at Shinya for a second as she narrowed them in a firmly displeased expression. She wasn’t sure if she liked this little future follower or not. Could she accidentally shake him off of her world, when her time to carry the world on the top of her shell came? “My father is the Lord of the Earth and carries the entire world on his back. It is my purpose to one day take his place. So yes, that’s future goddess to you!” She informed Shinya with a loud hiss. Zaiden tilted his head as he watched Shinya speaking directly to his Pokemon. Normal people spoke to Pokemon, sure, but not like that. Maybe Shinya was just cracked in the head? Too much pressure on the old noggin? He now had a new concern and wondered if it explained Shinya’s strange, nasty behavior overall? Were there also hallucinations that accompanied this or was it just voices that the Skull Grunt thought he heard from the Pokemon? “…got…this…” He bravely spoke up when Shinya smugly asked him if he needed help. If it wasn’t for Shinya’s attitude, and strange behavior making Zaiden worry, perhaps he would have been amicable to the Grunt’s help. Kamejima turned away from this strange man and turned back towards the Psyduck, who tried to desperately swipe at her. She jumped backwards while whipping her leaves back and forth like they were swords. “Watch it, you crazy duck!” The small green turtle with her large brown shell warned. She easily dodged each swipe, moving swiftly with her feet to avoid the yellow duck’s sharp claws. As she jumped, she began to release leaves from the tip of her long, thin sapling on her head. The leaves kicked up and swirled in a tight tornado. “I swear…there’s no respect for the work I have to do…” She huffed more to herself than anyone else. OOC: Sending out Kamejima and using Leafage.

It was limited what answer Kamejima got from the psyduck, it did hear her but honestly? With the headache pounding inside its skull it didn't care about much else than getting it to stop. It was why it had moved to the beach to begin with, it was quiet, the rolling waves was soothing and most of the neighbors were buried most of the time or worked out in the sea, giving it plenty of time to relax and avoid trouble and high noises.
The appearance of the two trainers had only made things worse, the psyduck pressed its wings against its skull in an attempt to ease the pain a bit. "Psyyyyyy," it groaned quietly while not really registrering what was happening around it.

It eyes began to glow and it slowly lowered its wings as it lifted its head up, expressionlessly it turned its beak towards the turtwig and the joltik and slowly opened it. Kameima leaped to the side and avoided the ball of water which the psyduck sent at them, it exploded in between the two pokemon and tiny little Joltik got thrown through the air and landed motionlessly on the sand several meters away.
Kamejima had gotten enough distance to avoid most of it and just got showered with a bit of water. She quickly sent some leaves flying at the duck, cutting into its skin.
"Psyyy!" The psyduck howled as the psychich powers lifted again and it became aware of the full force of its headache again. It threw its beak upwards as it whined and whimpered, holding on to its head once more.

It's not like Shinya being part of Team Skull was some big secret or anything. He wore the team emblem around his neck for all to see for cryin' out loud. Plus, everyone back in Alola knew Team Skull very well. Their name, what they stood for, and even where they set up shop. And yet, despite Po Town being listed on every single map in the Alola region, not a single police officer has ever come barging onto Team Skull's turf. Truth be told, Shinya wasn't entirely sure why that was, but he didn't care. Why look a gift Mudsdale in the mouth, right?

Still, though Shinya didn't pay much mind to Zaiden's words or facial expressions, he simply couldn't resist the urge to belittle Kamejima even more. Since she has given him the opportunity to do so and all, chuckling a bit before speaking to the Tiny Leaf Pokemon. "Tch. Are you serious, little Turtwig? There's no such thing as a Pokemon that big. I don't know who filled your head with all these fairy tales, but I'm gonna tell ya right now that all of that stuff is a giant load of-" However, before the Team Skull grunt could finish his thought, Psyduck's Water Pulse erupted on the battlefield, and the pained cry of his Joltik immediately caught his attention.

Shinya lost his grin and turned his head just in time to see his newly hatched Pokemon flying through the air and landing on the beach, unable to continue battling. Naturally, Shinya was not at all happy with this result, as his facial expression changed into one of anger. "Rgh! Damn it all! Get back in here, Joltik!" The Bug type trainer called the Attaching Pokemon back to her poke ball, then put it back into his bag, letting out an annoyed huff as he did. Of course, Shinya knew very well that Joltik was still fresh from her egg and didn't have much experience battling just yet, but he still didn't like this result at all. Still, if nothing else, at least Joltik gained some experience when Shinya captured the formerly wild Dwebble a few moments ago.

And as one might expect, Shinya wasn't just gonna let this one slide, as he grabbed a new poke ball from his bag and glared at the wild Psyduck. "You're gonna pay for that, ya stupid duck! Heracross, go get that Psyduck! Use your Horn Attack!" Shinya called another of his Pokemon out onto the battlefield and wasted absolutely no time giving him an order. If this Psyduck thought its head was hurting now, Shinya was more than willing to show it the true meaning of a headache. "Hera! Heracro!" Heracross emerged from his poke ball without missing a beat, then immediately spread his wings, channeled energy into his horn, and flew straight at the Water type Pokemon. Heracross wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but like all of Shinya's Pokemon, he knew better than to question Shinya when he was angry.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- The beige teenager’s face scrunched up as he listened to Shinya and Kamejima speak to each other. Neither seemed to bring a pleasant conversation that the other enjoyed. Something about the way Shinya carried on the conversation with his tiny turtle caused Zaiden to stand a little apprehensively. The more he thought about it, the crazier this all seemed. A guy storming around the beach proclaiming he was affiliated with what he made out to sound like a ‘well known’ gang – based on how Shinya spoke, at least? Talking to Pokemon as if they were speaking plain human language itself? Given the fact that the cruise ship they had sailed on had crashed, and many of the participants had to survive a heatwave within the first few days of being trapped on the island, Zaiden had to wonder if Shinya was suffering from grandiose delusions due to a heat stroke. Kamejima shook her head and stomped her feet in the sand. Her nostrils flared as she narrowed her eyes down on Shinya. “You don’t know much, do you?!” She snapped, turning away from the human with a quick spin on her feet. She didn’t need to focus on this fool. If he was a lost sheep that didn’t want to see the light when presented it, then so be it! She couldn’t save everyone. She wouldn’t save everyone. Just those among her future flock that were truly deserving of saving. When the yellow duck shot the small electric bug through the air, Kamejima fought the urge to stick her tongue out at Shinya. That would be poor sportsmanship, and she was destined to be something greater. “Hey, human.” She commented to Shinya with a serious look. “We may be able to win this a little easier if we work together.” Though, Shinya pulled out yet another bug and called out yet another move, seemingly focused on what his Pokemon can do. The Turtwig circled back around to her trainer, kicking up small bits of sand as she kept moving about, and stared up at Zaiden. The teenager stared back at his small Grass Type turtle through his warm brown eyes with a soft expression. She was trying her hardest, and he respected her efforts in the midst of the battle. Psyduck were pretty dangerous with their psychic attacks, though this one didn’t seem to take it to that extreme just yet. He nodded, pointing the leaves on her head, then spinning his hands around to signal her attack. Kamejima tilted her head for a bit, then it began to dawn on her. “I think I know the best move to use!” She basically convinced herself as she whipped back around to face the yellow duck. “Hey, PSYDUCK! Over here! I’m your real opponent! Those bugs ain’t got nothing on me!” She huffed at the top of her lungs. Kamejima began shaking the leaves on her head back and forth as she created a small tornado infused with sharp-edged leaves. She would send this grass-based tornado of leaves and debris spiraling erratically towards the Psyduck, hoping to cut the Pokemon up as much as she possibly could. Kamejima didn’t exactly care if the duck refused to acknowledge her, but she did care to prove herself to the humans that were around her. OOC: Sending out Kamejima and using Leafage.

The psyduck pressed its arms to its temples and concentrated on its breathing. That's it, deep breaths, let the waves calm, lower the shoulders, relax. The duck's scrunched up face slowly relaxed as it calmed down and tried to ease the pain, the more upset it was, the worse it was. It had been told a long time ago that it was an ability to help it protect itself, that when it was in danger it would open up for tremendous power which would blow away all predators. The psyduck wasn't sure if it thought it was worth it, it was why it had moved to this peaceful place, although it wasn't so peaceful anymore.

It lowered its hands and sighed relieved, and then Heracross slammed into the side and sent it flying through the air and head first back into the sand. It let its rear fall to the ground and pulled its head up from the sand, its eyes were glowing and you could see its temple throbbing.
It stood still, swaying a bit, as if it wasn't entirely aware of its surroundings, Kamejima's calling caught its attention and with a surprisingly speed and ran over the sand and swiped her with its claws. One time, two times, three times, then she got her leaves flying and the barrage of leaves tore into the duck's skin and it succumbed and welcomed the pain free darkness which took it in.

Kamejima got (3/2+3/2) 3 levels and is now [Lv 11]!

Heracross helped with the psyduck and gains (3/2) 2 levels and becomes [Lv 11]
