Summer Heat [Boss Battle]

[Caramell 🍬]

Kingyo's widened eyes stared in disbelief when he realized that his previous attack had managed to work well enough to keep the wild dog confused. The white fish with a large horn protruding from his forehead studied the gigantic Entei for a second, while he tried to figure out what the best course of action was. As Kingyo thought back on Entei's strengths and recalled how easily the legendary beast had managed to take out a colossal whale, Kingyo realized one thing. Whatever he planned to do, he shouldn't just splash around and find out what Entei was all about. So, without a second's hesitation the fish swam over to Zaiden and leaped up into the air to slap the button on his Pokeball and disappear back inside of it.

Zaiden blinked, perplexed at how suddenly his Pokemon had recalled itself. Fumbling around for a second to quickly call someone else out, a bright red beam of light shot forth. A small brown owl with two leaves on its chest like a little bow-tie appeared before the crowd. Fukurō chirped loudly and flapped his wings as he stared up at the large beast. "Are you a fan of music, Mr. Beast?!" The owl chirped and then began to dance excitedly as he sung. "We all need...soomeebodyy to leeaaann onnnn!" He hummed at the top of his lungs and spun about in front of Entei, hoping he could charm the legendary beast into joining him in the merry-making and fun times he was having. "Just call on me brother, when you need a hand...~"

Sara finally stands up as the fish on the end of her fishing line is reeled in to completion. "Yes! I finally caught another fish!" Her face dropped as she realized it was another magikarp, and she dropped her head in defeat. "Urgh... I just want to catch some fish that could feed people on this beach!" She sighed, casting her line back into the water. Suddenly, flames flashed past her, as a massive confused looking dog crashed down into the ground next to her, swirling with confusion. Her focus broken from fishing, Sara finally takes stock of what is going on around her. "What the...?" She says, seeing the gigantic flame dog battling a huge group of trainers, who frankly, look exhausted at this point. "This is just like last time with the other giant monster. What is it with these trainers picking fights with monsters on the beach?" Sara says to herself, sighing. "Alright, well, come on out Momo! Lets show them what we got! Get in there, and hit it with a mud-slap!" Sara says, pointing commandingly towards the Entei. Suddenly, her rod's reel starts whirring. "What! I'm doing something else fishy! Guh..." Frustratedly, she grabs the rod and starts fighting with the fish on the line as well. "Momo, I swear I'm paying attention, now get in there and help those trainers!"

Penelope felt she was kind of confronted by the other girl. "I do not know him. I thought it might be loud to try to shout with this rain." She paused and smiled before she continued. "WELL, I guess I should loudly let everyone know too."

She paused again before making a statement loudly. "HEY GUYS! We're preparing for a big one too in a few turns!" Then she turned to Lei and asked if that was good.

She then turned toward her Diggersby. "We're almost there, Potato! One last Sword Dance!" The normal and ground type cried happily, and did his jolly little dance again, splashing his feet on the puddles created by the rain.

Penelope wasn't exactly keeping her count, but she figured the Light Screen would also soon be over. Now with less protection for everyone's Pokemon, they would have to be careful to alert or to annoy the Entei too much.

"Oh, I think the Light Screen is ending soon!" She shouted one last time, reminding everyone.

"Riiiight," Lei said slowly, like badges had some kind of magical ability, she glanced at the entei and decided this was not the time to try convince this man his ideas was strange and far out. She shrugged and let the topic fall.
"If you had the right pager yes, a Taurus Charge wouldn't be of much use, and if there is full of whirlpools out there, I'm unsure how much Lapras Paddle would be," she said with a wry smile.
Lei scratched her chin a bit thoughtful when Marchbaby asked for suggestions, "I have focused on making it weaker for water attacks as a lot of trainers seemed to like to use that, but I can send in a screecher like last battle," she offered.
She looked at the litten who was running around after the entei, she doubted it could do much and she recalled it, she was about to call another one out when Penelope pointed out that the light screen was ending and she hesitated as she could do something about that as well, but what would be best?

"Why would you be shouting? He's standing right here," Lei said confused to Penelope, they had walked over to Marchbaby a little while ago. She looked at the two and wondered if they were hiding something as neither seemed to acknowledge each other.
Lei jumped when Penelope was suddenly shouting and then rubbed her sore ear, "I guess, please warn me next time," Lei said wtih a grin, "giiiirl where have you learned to shout like that?"

A white pokemon appeared right beside Lei with an eager look on its face, but its face quickly fell.
"You again," Lei said with a hint of annoyance and the shuppet lightened up, which fell again when Lei lightened up. "Oh! You know screech too! Go use it on the big dog over there," she stated and waved at the entei, the shuppet looked at it reluctantly and stayed where it was.

Between Kingyo's rain, Entei's Pressure, and Penelope's shouting, Shinya's patience was starting to wear a little thin. Fortunately, battling was an excellent way to reduce stress. And if that wasn't enough, all of Marchbaby's and Lei's talk about badges and ride Pokemon was also a good distraction. "I'm with you, sweetheart." The Team Skull grunt said to Lei, sharing her feelings regarding the badges, giving his eyes a single roll before opening his mouth again. "People and Pokemon have gotten along just fine for years without these oh so important badges and HMs. Oh no! The path is blocked by an awkwardly placed tree! And we're apparently too stupid to just walk around it."

Shinya's tone had changed into a mixture of sarcasm and mockery, as he never understood why HMs were even a thing to begin with. "I mean, c'mon. No forest anywhere in this world has trees that are so close together that we can't just walk around 'em. And even if we couldn't, ya don't need Cut. Lots of Pokemon cut down trees without it. Such as Scyther and Pinsir. Just as lots of Pokemon swim in the ocean, but don't know Surf. The system here in Johto is broke if ya ask me." The Bug type trainer added, then mentally cursed the fact that he didn't grab a Ride Pager before leaving his home region of Alola.

"Urgh! Damn it! Had I known Johto was gonna be like this, I would've beaten some chump in a battle before leavin' home, taken his or her Ride Pager, and brought it with me." Shinya had absolutely no trouble saying all of this out loud for all to hear, as his Dwebble looked at him, scratched his head with his right claw, and wondered what he was on about. "Dwebble?" The Rock Inn Pokemon's question snapped Shinya back to the situation at hand, as he regained his composure, and faced Entei once again. "Oh yeah. Right. Just go hit it in the eyes with your Sand Attack, Dwebble." Deciding to play it safe for one more round, Shinya gave Dwebble his command, and the Bug/Rock type happily nodded and obeyed. "Dwebble! Dweb...ble!" After gathering up some wet sand, Dwebble skittered across the battlefield like a pro, despite the rock on his back, then tossed the sand directly into Entei's face.

That's it! The large beast singed the small birds feathers, causing Fukurō to drop on the sandy beach and roll around like a lunatic as he screamed in pain. The fire hurt so bad and all he wanted to do was escape! He wasn't built for this - NONE of them were built for this! That was a gigantic dog battling against the lives of everyone around it, and they were all just CRAZY enough to try and show this beast what they were made of! Fukurō tossed large clumps of sand at his wounds, trying to get them to cool off in the cool sands. But the dirt and grit only hurt worse, causing Fukurō to keep crying out in pain.

Anger lit up his gaze as he flared the...nostrils?...on his beak. Or well, tried to. There was NO WAY this dog was getting away with hurting him. Time to up the anty and turn this classical show into a heavy metal concrete. He flew away towards the trees to search for the perfect stick to make this show his own. As soon as Fukurō returned, he was clutching onto a long thin twig that was nearly twice his own size. "Skin against skin, blood and bone!" He screamed at the top of his lungs, growling defiantly at his enemy. "You're all by yourself but you're not alone!" He soared up high above Entei's head, no longer caring if he looked like a target or not. He wanted to teach this beast a lesson - and anger caused him to growl at the top of his lungs, nearly causing him to go hoarse. "Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the flooooooorrrrrr!"

Fukurō| Lv "25" Used Growl!

Lei looked surprised when Shinya of all people came to back her up, she wiped a strand of hair out of her face and sent the male trainer a dry look when he complained about the tm's. He looked unsettling familiar over him, as if he had some manners of a group of certain people, but she couldn't quite place it. Shinya himself she remembered as the guy who had trouble knowing his place and respect the authorities, she hadn't expected him to agree with her.
"I think you are misunderstanding me half there, poke rides, or HM's are necessary. A badge to use them are not," she pointed out and smiled sweetly to him, "while little tree can be walked around, you can't climb a cliff, push huge boulders or fly. And I have heard rumors that the forest everyone is scared about in this region, Helex? Is so dense you have to cut your way through brambles and such if you want to get through."
She hid her laugh behind her hand although she didn't really try to hide it, "good luck getting them called all the way over here! It's not like they are IN the pager you know, its not a pokeball, you are summoning them, have you ever had one?"

Her mood instantly switched when she saw the shuppet still hung around, it had been drifting away, slowly drawn towards Zaiden and the vague unsettling feelings he was emitting.
"Well, thanks for all your help," she said sarcastically, its screeching could have been really useful and she looked surly down at Minerva at her side, "what are you still standing here?" she stunky looked surprised up at her and then with a shrug began to trot towards the entei.
Shuppet came swooping in and Lei took a step back when it practically went straight up her face and made a deep inhale, savoring what it got. "What do you want?" She snapped and the shuppet opened its eyes and grinned at her, before it spun around and zoomed towards the legendary.
Lei through out her arms, "that ghost makes no sense whatsoever!" She complained to anyone who wanted to listen.

Shuppet | Lv 25 Used Screech!

[Marchbaby]

Marchbaby could hardly watch as Mama was surrounded by a swirling flame causing massive damage and trapping the poor ground type in the vortex. He knew she would not last another turn like this as she was just clinging to consciousness and that this would almost certainly be the last chance she would have to attack. The good news was that Lei's Shuppet had reduced the Entei's defense at the perfect time for the young Trapinch to take full advantage with an attack of her own. As Mama prepared to strike Marchbaby started to talk to the other survivors.

" Mama won't last much longer but that Screech will be a huge help. She should be able to do a decent amount of damage before she gets knocked out." He then turned to face the Trapinch who was struggling to stand and knew he had to call out a move quickly before the flames caused too much damage. He also was not quite sure yet how he would react if Mama was knocked out as he began to question his original plan. Trying to bide himself a bit of time he decided to talk a bit more about ride Pokemon as they sounded really interesting.

" Those ride Pokemon sound more and more fascinating by the moment. They do seem to have less restrictions than HMs here in Johto do. About now I would take almost anything to get off this island as I have a feeling so long as we are here more legendaries are going to attack us for one reason or another." As he then looked around at the other survivors Pokemon he had noticed none of the others this round had used a move that would cause damage and if Mama was knocked out before she could strike this whole turn might give Entei quite a break.

As he frantically thought about which of Mama's moves to use to make sure that did not happen it became clear with the legendaries current defenses that only one move mad sense to use in a case like this and he quickly ordered Mama to strike while she was still barely standing. " I hate to keep you out like this Mama but given the situation we have no choice. Use your Bulldoze to cause as much damage as you can. I have faith in you no matter how bad things look right now." He then paused and watched as the brave Trapinch moved forward pushing a huge mound of sand towards Entei getting ready to strike the beast.

Mama | Lv 25 Used Bulldoze! <Soft Sand>

[Venominon]

After the last exchange of blows between the legendary Pokemon and the trainer's Pokemon, the rain finally came to an end and the sun came back out from behind the clouds. While this was good news for Shinya's attitude, it was bad news for the battle at hand. With the rain gone and the sunlight back, Entei's attacks were bound to get even stronger than they already were. However, Shinya didn't pay that any mind at that moment in time, as he turned towards Lei when she started talking to him, shaking his head from side to side at the first thing she said to him. "Nah. I understood ya. I just think it's dumb. If the people who lived a hundred years ago in Johto could survive without HMs, then I don't see why we can't do the same today." Shinya said to her in a nonchalant tone of voice, not even the slightest bit concerned with the things she brought up after that either.

"Big strong Pokemon like Onix and Rhyhorn can push boulders without Strength, and lots of Pokemon can fly without the HM for Fly. And if ya can fly, then why would ya even need to climb up mountains and such? And if this forest is really so dense, then I'll just have my Pokemon clear a pathway through it. Destroyin' trees is child's play to a strong enough Pokemon. With or without Cut. And if that doesn't work, I can always just walk around it. It's not like that forest covers the entire landscape or anythin'. It's gotta come to an end eventually, right?"

The Team Skull grunt did narrow his eyes at her a bit when she started laughing, as his tone became a bit angry as well. "As a matter of fact, I haven't. But that's because Team Skull doesn't need the same crutches that other trainers do. We do what we want, and we do it our way. And if anyone gets in our way, we destroy 'em. Simple as that." His anger faded away pretty quickly after that though, as he watched Lei's interactions with her Pokemon and chuckled to himself a little. "Then it sounds like that ghost of yours and Johto have somethin' in common." After chuckling a bit more at his own joke, Shinya turned his gaze back over to Entei, and prepared himself for the next round.

"Alright. I think that's enough witty banter for now. It's time to hit 'em right where it hurts, Dwebble!" The Bug type trainer said to his own Pokemon, planning to make full use of Shuppet's Screech attack. "Dweb! Dweb!" The Rock Inn Pokemon nodded at his trainer, feeling more than ready to finally test his strength against a real legendary Pokemon. With that, Shinya grinned big, pointed right at the Volcano Pokemon, and gave Dwebble the command that he had been waiting for. "Okay then! Show this legend what Team Skull is all about! Use Smack Down!" Having been given the command he wanted to hear, Dwebble gathered his power, then fired a single stone right at the legendary Fire type, hoping to deal some big damage. "Dwebble! Dweb...ble!"

Dwebble | Lv "25" Used Smack Down!

[Tiki]

Entei suddenly came down toward Penelope and Potato again. She didn't like this, as she thought the fire dog or wolf or boar had a bone to pick with her. The fire type gave Potato a crunchy impact, leaving him feeling bruised and injured as he yelped in pain. However, Entei wasn't done, as it conjured a fiery tornado at a small round bird.

"Hey!" Penelope shouted angrily at the Entei for coming too close. "Me again?" Technically it was Potato, but Entei was definitely the trainer's Pokemon, again.

However, the young and round Pokemon wasn't phased by this, and began chirping and growling at the Entei. And then, the girl next to her had a pale ghost Pokemon using Screech. The two sounds combined was a lot. Then, two other Pokemon came in with their Bulldoze and Smack Down attacks. 

The young trainer wasn't interested in the talks about the ride Pokemon, as she was more annoyed that the Entei might had beef with her in another life. 

"You will pay for this, Entei! Potato, use Dig!" She shouted angrily, her face expressive with anger. Her Pokemon joined in, angrily shouting before quickly diving underground with his armful of ears.

Zaiden gasped as he watched his small bird fall tov the ground. He rushed over and cupped Fukurō up in his arms. Was this beastly Pokemon that strong that his young bird was instantly taken out from a single hit? Tears welled up in the teenager's eyes as he pulled out Fukurō's ball and recalled the Rowlet. Zaiden then fumbled around and pulled out another Pokeball to summon his young bear out onto the battlefield and gulped. How couldv they think anything they had was strong enough to withstand the monstrous Legendary Pokemon, anyways?! It was utter madness to think so!

Tedibea blinked as he appearedd in the blink of an eye. The young Teddiursa tilted his head and looked around to see all the different Pokemon that were left fighting the Pokemon. Then, he turned to his trainer as he tried to figure out why he had been called out to battle. When he noticed the tears staining the corners of his eyes, Tedibea assumed he knew exactly what he was supposed to do. He fell in his butt and began to cry heavily.

Tiki this was a post from my cell phone. We're out eating dinner!

[Marchbaby]

As Entei had taken a huge amount of damage Marchbaby did not think the fire type was going to be able to stick around after this round. Though he hoped it would he could not risk doing no damage at all this round just in case Potato somehow missed their attack. " That Diggersby really looked like it was pumped up enough to take on the world. Even Mama here cannot match it's current power. A shame there is not enough time to try another dig but I have another idea in mind." He said as he watched the young Trapinch somehow keep battling through the pain to remain standing.

The ground type had hung on with a slither of health and he knew that if Entei did not go don this round Mama would for sure. With no other good option left he decided to have her try a Mud-Slap attack hoping it would help enough. " Mama use Mud-Slap. You won't last long enough for Dig." He said as the ground type started to toss mud at the legendary hoping to blind it.

Mama | Lv 25 Used Mud-Slap! <Soft Sand>

[Tarlar]

Lei shrugged at Shinya's comment, "probably something they teach them in school to keep them in check," she said and looked dryly at the team skull wannabe, "you can probably get a pokemon to push some boulders around yes, but good luck trying to ride an untrained one. My aunt trains mudbrays and rhyhorns for racing, and I'm telling you, they are neither easy or fun to ride at that point! I don't know about you others, but I'm certainly not going to let a pokemon who isn't trained to carry me in flight, it will be anything but stabil and surely make some stupid movement, forgetting I'm there and throwing me off. One thing is to fly or swim, its an entirely different thing to do it while safely carrying someone on your back, in all kinds of weather," she argued and chuckled at his comment about going around the tree or the forest, "you haven't heard about Ilex Forest I can understand, good luck going around that! There is a sea on one side and a mountain on the other, and from what I have heard so overgrown you can't go more than a few steps before you ned to cut something down to get through!"
Lei paused and then looked disgusted at Shinya, "I thought we got rid of Team Skull ages ago, why would you even let yourself get associated with them? They are nothing but pathetic troublemakers, you think they were cool perhas? Needing to dress silly and act stupid just to get attention," Lei huffed and turned away from him, "and it's not mine, although it might become if it keeps coming back like that," she added about the shuppet.

Lei looked puzzled at Penelope, "are you trying to get its attention and attacking us?" She asked as she gestured to the Entei. "If so I'd like a warning so that I can get away!" She added dryly, not planning on being on the recieving end of the attacks.

The legendary fire dog blew the rowlet out of the sky, which didn't surprise Lei one bit, the fires roared around and the shuppet too got hit by the spray of it. It spun around and raced away to disappear into the wilderness around them, and Lei rolled her eyes, "at least it helped first," she mumbled and looked closer at the entei, then she let out a dewpider. It wasn't strong, but perhaps its water bubble could help it.
