"I guess I will just have to discover if there are any Helix Fossils when I get there. If not I guess I could just find another fossil to train up." Nate gently shrugged his shoulder. "Either way, I guess I will find a rare Pokemon to add to my team." He smiled greatly feeling excited about the thought. "When I reach Goldenrod I will have to search out the revival lab to see if it is located there or if it is located in a completely different city or town." Nate let out a sigh of frustration since he didn't know for definite where he could revive a fossil at.

"I would want to return to Cherrygrove since then I wouldn't have to back track to find other Pokemon to my team and to train up my team more before I even think about challenging Falkner to a battle. Since I doubt any of my team are anywhere near ready to battle the first gym." He gently shook his head as she laughed.

"I will keep that in mind. Since it might be a hassle to find one for myself. Better to go for an easy option when one opens up for me." Nate looked on interested when Lei explained what Luck would evolve into. "That is just annoying, how would I know what form the Vivillon evolve into?" He watched as she picked up her pokedex and showed him the registered information.
"Wow, you weren't lying about there being different forms of it..." Nate gently rubbed his chin. "...I guess it is similar to Spinda as they are all different in the pattern they have." He looked down at his bug type as he wondered what form she would evolve into. Nate would have to do some research on the different forms and how to obtain them.

"That is good since it may mean that there isn't much between your Poliwag..." He motioned over to the wild Pokemon. "...and this Poliwag." Nate looked on confused when Lei chuckled over his question. "To me it just sounds like some sort of digital monster that you would find in a game or something. But I doubt I would ever meet another Poliwag with the name so it does do the job."

He let out a sigh as he listened to what she had to say since it made complete sense in what she was saying. "I know that more than you realize. I had battled a Bellsprout where my Sunkern had to battle it without me giving any orders to him since I froze up and couldn't give any orders." Nate rubbed his arm gently. "Having a steel type Pokemon is a good idea since they are immune to all poison type moves. Hopefully I would be able to find one sooner rather than later. There is no such thing as a gentle poison type." He commented.

As Nate was picking up the poke ball, he heard someone approach them and introduced themselves. He placed a hand into his bag and took hold of a poke ball not sure if the new comer was friend or foe. Nate stood up and turned to face Tristan. "Are you some sort of wild person who was raised up by a wild Ambipom or something?" He looked at the newcomer unsure of if he could trust him or not. "The name is Nate." Nate said simply.

'Yeah lets go look under the kelp.' Blasty glanced behind him at the newcomer as he wondered what Pokemon he owned. Before he could do much searching, another Poliwag and a Shelder appeared. 'So you are going to be our next opponent's.' Blasty rubbed his hands together as he swam back to Nate.
"Luck you can have this battle." Nate said. He does want to train up his other Pokemon, since Blasty and Luck were getting a fair bit of experience from the battling.
Luck hopped down and crawled past Blasty ready to battle the two wild Pokemon.
"Luck use Stun Spore on the Poliwag." Nate said.
'Why does it need to be another one of you?' Luck released a cloud of orange powder from her mouth at the Poliwag.
Nate looked at the other two trainers. "Who wants in on this battle?"

OOC Nate sent out Luck to start the battle
Luck used Stun Spore on Poliwag

Atlanna uses Hypnosis and Mud Shot on Shellder

Tristan could only smile at the greeting he received back from the tall thin lady with frizzy black hair, she wasn't wrong in the slightest with her assessment of the blonde haired boy's mood, he was just trying to live his best life was all. The lady introduced herself as Lei, a rather unique name that Tristan had not come across before, she then asked Tristan what his plans were during this time of shipwreck,

"Pleasure to meet you Lei and Nate, honestly I'm just out here tryna vibe and make the best out of the less than optimal situation we've all found ourselves in"

The trio of trainers continued to walk and talk along the outskirts of the rockpool before their interest was well and truly peaked. A Shellder and Poliwag appeared to be waging a turf war against each other. Tristan couldn't help but smile like a kid in a candy shop at the sight of the two water type pokemon, specifically the Shellder had piqued his interest, adding it to his ever expanding team was a prospect that Tristan was keen on.

"On second thoughts, that Shellder is looking like a mighty fine addition to my team of water types, that is of course if you both don't mind?"

Atlanna the Poliwag randomly emerged from her pokeball without Tristan actually having released her from it. The tadpole pokemon must have felt a sixth sense from within her resting place at the encounter of another of her kind. Tristan's Poliwag appeared to want to show off to her trainer that he had made the right choice in adding her to his team and that adding another of her kind was a terrible idea. Atlanna took matters into her own hands as she emitted hypnotizing waves from the black and white swirl on her abdomen before she proceeded to kick mud with her long thin tail towards the bivalve mollusk pokemon.

Blasty and Flynns first dip into the pool didn't give much, they had probably chased away anything which lived in that specific pool, or caught it, and they moved on to check on the others. They didn't need to get far before two pokemon revealed themselves to them as they squabbled over a hole in the side of the pool which made perfect shelter for such small pokemon.
They continued to argue with each other as they pressed against the other for comfort as they watched the trainers and their pokemon step closer.
The black haired woman stood back and let the two other trainers take over, which for the wild pokemon at least meant they were not outnumbered.

The two poliwags locked eyes and a rivalry surfaced which no one knew had existed, perhaps all poliwags were just competitive and wouldn't let another poliwag be better than them.
Atlanna's spiral pattern swirled when she for some weird reason decided to show she was the better poliwag by not beating the other poliwag, but the shellder. The wild poliwag couldn't accept that, "hey! I'm your opponent here!" It shouted as it jumped in front of her blocking her attempts to hypnotize the shellder as it couldn't see her belly now.
The wild poliwag spun around and slapped Atlanna hard with its tail, "take that!" It smirked as it surely had shown who was boss here and Atlanna surely would face it and lose.
Something sprinkled down over it and it sneezed, "that's not fair! Two against one!" The wild poliwag shouted as it realized that Luck had interfered in the battle and given Atlanna an advantage over it.

Shellder watched quietly from where it was, it wasn't really interested in helping the wild poliwag, it was stupid, but could it get to run away? It glared at Luck as the scatterbug prepared to mingle in the poliwags battle, then smirked, it was tempting to focus on her while was distracted, but it knew it would be best if it tried to sneak away while they were all distracted.
The fun won and it blasted a water gun at Luck who was toppled over and rolled over the rocks, she got to released her spores in time though, and they drifted over to drizzle down on the wild poliwag. The shellder chuckled for itself, that had been fun!

(ooc: Hunter, you can't use two moves in a double battle, do you have any idea how much work that needs? XD Besides, if you could, you'd need to calculate it with your partner, so they also could use two moves, otherwise it would just be a huge mess)

[nategrey]

Nate rolled his eyes slightly when Tristan smiled at the greeting that he had received from Lei, he did have to wonder why he was being so cheerful over being shipwrecked on the island. Since he doubt anyone would know how long it would take for them to be rescued, so they could be here for weeks or worse months, he just hoped the rescue party would arrive soon as he wanted to continue on his journey.

"I guess everyone deals with unforeseen circumstances differently. While I a am waiting for people to come to rescue us I am just focusing on training up my Pokemon." Nate said with a slight shrug.

He did find it kind of amusing over the wild Shellder and the wild Poliwag waging a turf war over their current location. Nate wouldn't mind catching the Poliwag since then he would be able to have both a Politoad to train up to face Lei's own one, along with a Poliwrath that could become a power house for him... but first he would have to find Water Stone what might be the hardest part of it... so he would just have to train up the Poliwag in the mean time.

"Be my guest, I am more interested in the Poliwag over the Shelder. I have already caught one so I may make it a set and have both forms."

Nate raised an eyebrow slightly when another Poliwag appeared on the field from a red beam. He looked on slightly confused since he hadn't noticed the other male sending out a Pokemon yet alone saying what he was going to send out.
Nate let out a slight sigh when the Hypnosis failed to hit the Shelder because of the wild Poliwag had interrupted the attack and it had failed to connect.
'I only attacked you because you are who Nate chose for me to attack.' Luck called out.

Before Luck could do anything else, she got blasted by a Water Gun forcing him to topple over some rocks. 'That is unfair attacking a unprepared Pokemon.' She looked at the Shellder panting slightly.
Nate pulled out a green ball from his bag. "I guess we will have to try our luck, Luck." Nate said with a slight smile. He threw the Nest Ball at the Poliwag wondering if he could increase their chance of the battle by changing it into a 2 vs 1 against the Shelder.

OOC Nate used one Nest Ball on Poliwag

[Hunter]

Atlanna uses Mud Shot on Shellder!

Tristan was thoroughly enjoying the bemused look that was painted on Nate's face, the white haired young boy clearly didn't trust the beach blonde haired young man's goodie-two shoes, simpleton like response. To put it plain and simple, despite the unfortunate circumstances that the lot of them had found themselves in, Tristan could see the funny side in things, he was simply living out his role in his own live action movie. 

"I guess life's too short to be worried about lemons when you can have lemonade"

If Lei and Nate didn't already think Tristan's mind was off with the pixies, they now certainly would. Meanwhile the turf war between the wild Shellder and Poliwag that had been interrupted by the trio of trainers had transformed into a double battle. The wild Poliwag had used its own body to block the hypnotic waves that had emitted from Atlanna's stomach and in return gave the trainer owned Poliwag a righteous slap across the face with its tadpole like tail. Tristan was hoping to capture the Shellder, however his own pokemon's actions certainly weren't making any sense, her stubborn 'I know right' nature was definitely getting the best of her and clouding her judgement,

"Ease up Atlanna, you're going a million miles a minute girl, slow things down, figuratively and literally with your Mud Shot attack on Shellder"

Atlanna wasn't a big fan of her trainer telling her what to do, though so far when he had ordered her to do something, it ended up paying off for the pair. Atlanna eyed off the wild Poliwag as if she were trying to say 'watch this kid' before she proceeded to kick mud up from the ground with her long thin tail that went hurling towards the bivalve mollusk pokemon.

"It's still not fair! It's not making it any better that your Nates are planning it!" the wild poliwag protested, thinking the name of the strange two legged creatures which guided Luck and Atlanna was called nates.
It stuck its face up into Atlanna's, "too afraid of facing me alone, so you need your others to backstab me? I'll show you that I'm the better poliwag, I am already since I don't need help to do anything!" it spat in her face. It didn't saw the nest ball flying at it, it felt it but was sucked inside before it got a chance to react.
The ball dumped down on the rocks and wriggled back and forth for a very long time, as the wild poliwag fought for its freedom. The nest ball was too strong and eventually it chimed with the confirmed capture of the pokemon.

The point of view on the current situation was quite different depending if you looked from the trainer's point of view, or the shellder's. To the humans this was a rather easy battle, they chatted among themselves and tried to get to know each other. To the shellder it was a battle of life or death, or so it thought. Especially when its shield and distraction which was the poliwag, disappeared into thin air, when one of the nates had thrown a rock at it.

"I didn't do it! It wasn't me!" The shellder quickly claimed at Luck's protests, looking around wildly for a way out. Atlanna took a step forward and found some 'mud' among the rocks, which was really just decomposed seaweed. Slimy and smelling but it would do the trick.
The shellder's eyes widened in fear and the air cooled around it drastically, so that small chunks of ice formed around them and they were sent flying through the air and patted against the poliwag's side. It was clear it was not going to stop Atlanna so the Shellder closed shut in preparation for what was coming, the slimy mud sent it sliding over the rocks and seeped in through the tiniest cracks.

Nate looked on very confused at Tristan's next comment. It didn't make any sense at all, but he had learnt a long time ago to never judge a book by its cover. Even the most mean person could be a good Pokemon trainer and could even be very challenging like Silver was. So Nate would just have to watch Tristan and see what sort of trainer he was during the battle.

"Lemonade is a lot nicer than lemons are, so I would take the drink over the fruit."

He wasn't sure what to think about the blonde haired trainer, but he wouldn't make a final judgement until he had seen exactly how he treated his Pokemon. Nate gently bit his lower lip over the wild Poliwag interfering in Tristan's own Poliwag's attack. It would have been so much help if the hypnosis had hit the Shelder while Luck's Stun Spore had also hit the wild Poliwag. Nate dd find it amusing over the rivalry between the two Poliwags, he did have to wonder on if he manages to capture the wild Poliwag then would it get on with Politaro the previously caught Poliwag, or would the two of them get on since they are from the same area.

"Don't get over whelmed, Luck. We can still win this battle." Nate called out to Luck.
Luck nodded in agreement not wanting to give up in the battle.

'I have no choice but to do what Nate tells me. Would you rather if I did the same to the Shelder to make it fair?' Luck asked confused over the wild Poliwag's attitude since it was a double battle and it would be easier to team up against a single Pokemon than trying to face two Pokemon at the same time.
'There are two of you and there are two of us. It is not like you and the Shelder couldn't one of you could attack us from the front while the other one backstab us from our blind spots.' She called out not liking the wild Pokemon's attitude in the slightest. Before Luck could say anything else to the wild Poliwag, the Nest Ball had sucked it in and shook three times before it chimed to confirm the capture.
Blasty rushed over to the rocks to collect the Nest Ball. He rushed over to his trainer and held up the ball.
"Thanks Blasty." Nate bent down to pick up the used ball.

"Welcome to the team Poli." Nate said as he pulled out his pokedex and pointed it at the Nest Ball. The Nest Ball disappeared from sight. "Now the battle is two vs one." He looked at the remaining wild Pokemon.

'It was not the Poliwag who used Water Gun on me.' Luck looked on disappointed. 'You are not so confident now are you?' She looked on as Atlanna threw some decomposed seaweed towards the Shelder. Luck breathed out some cold air as some small chunks of ice hit the side of Atlanna's side.
"Luck use Stun Spore on the Shellder." Nate said. "Hopefully it will help you to capture it." He looked at the other trainer. "After this I plan to swap out to one of my other Pokemon." Nate looked back at the wild Shellder.
Luck released a cloud of orange powder from her mouth at the Shellder.

OOC Luck used Stun Spore on Shellder

[Hunter]

Atlanna uses Mud Shot on Shellder!

Being stranded on an island was an eerily familiar feeling for Tristan, being surrounded by a fair few other humans and their pokemon wasn't so different to life the blonde haired boy had experienced growing up in Pacifidlog Town in the Hoenn region. Tristan was craving a bit of sugar after having mentioned both lemons and lemonade, who could blame the guy though with the only consumable liquid being water whilst stranded on the island,

"On that topic, I could really go for some lemonade right about now"

Tristan's attention shifted back onto the double battle that was occurring before him as he noticed the grey haired trainer alongside him toss an oddly colored ball towards the Poliwag, a sudden shift of pace that inevitably ended up resulting in a two verses one in favor of the trainer owned pokemon against the wild Shellder after the capture was deemed successful. The wild Shellder's whole attitude appeared to shift to one of fear of the inevitable unfolding as it was left to fight on its own. Atlanna and the wild Shellder traded attacks as small chunks of ice formed around the mollusk pokemon that were then sent flying through the air connected with the side of the Poliwag's body, meanwhile Atlanna had utilized smelly, slimy decomposed seaweed as a makeshift replacement of mud for her attacking maneuver. Nate layed out his plan for the rest of the battle for Tristan and it was a good one, to which Tristan smiled and responded,

"Sounds good dude, I appreciate the help mate"

Again Atlanna begun to move before her trainer gave her an attacking command as she begun to prepare more decomposed seaweed to toss in the direction of the clearly outnumbered Shellder. Tristan was definitely going to have to work on controlling Atlanna and her hot headed, act before thinking approach to things, one of these days it was sure to leave the blonde haired male in a less than optimal situation.

GRAYE'S MARINADES

[Caramell 🍬]

The bivalve mollusk’s large eyes widened so large they looked as though they might pop right out from underneath its shell. Why were the Nates gaining up on it when it hadn’t even wanted to have anything to do with them?! There was no way that this was fair. Shaking like a leaf, it spun around wildly and tried to make a hasty getaway. It didn’t even want the hole anymore and it instantly regretted stealing the hole from the blue tadpole that had been sucked up inside of the strange round device. “Why won’t you leave me alone?! Me and that Poliwag weren’t friends! It stole my home…err, well it stole the home I found…err, well I mean…I found that home fair and square!” The Shellder snapped as it pleaded for its own freedom.

Atlanna move swiftly as she gathered up the decomposed seaweed. The large clumps were wet and smushy and made the perfect replica to turn into a thick, gooey, and almost mud-like substance. She would immediately begin pelting the purple shelled oyster with the thick clumps of seaweed. They soared through the air and landed on top of the Shellder’s shell, coating it from seemingly everywhere. “ACK!” The small black Pokemon with its large purple shell coughed and hacked as it tried to shake the seaweed off of itself, though it couldn’t quite seem to get most of it off. The Shellder was slowed down by the seaweed, and though it struggled to run it found itself constantly tripping over the slimy clumps. “What is this?! Why do you keep attacking me!”

The Shellder spun around as anger flared up inside of the bivalve mollusk’s soul. Shellder narrowed its eyes angrily as it eyed the Poliwag with malicious intent. It would make Atlanna paid if it was the LAST thing the Shellder did! Though, Luck immediately begun to kick up a thick cloud of spores that floated into the air over to the Shellder. The oyster sneezed and shook itself before spinning around with a confused and hurt look at Luck. “You’re all nothing but a bunch of BULLIES! Relying on the excuse ‘because my Nate said so’. You think it’s an excuse BUT ITS NOT!” The Shellder tried to leer at its opponents, but immediately froze up as the paralysis kicked inside of its veins and froze it on the spot. “Ack…owwww…please…I promise I’m sorry!” The Shellder begged them.

[nategrey]

Nate was just glad that the Nest Ball had worked on the Poliwag, since he didn't think that Luck would have survived another round of attacks from both of the wild Pokemon. But now that it was Luck and Atlanna against the wild Shellder it just makes it so much easier to deal with.
Luck looked on slightly annoyed when the Shelder's whole attitude completely changed one eighty from the confident attitude to the complete opposite since now it was against two Pokemon on its own. Luck watched with interest as the two water type Pokemon launched their own attacks against the other one.


"No problem. It would be easier to capture if it is inflicted with a status move."

Nate let out a slight sigh of annoyance when Atlanna launched an attack without taking orders from Tristan. If it chose the wrong attack to use then the strategy that he had suggested they do, would fail. "I don't mean to step over or anything, but it must be annoying with that Poliwag." He looked at the blonde haired trainer.

Luck remained where he was as he listened to what the Shellder had to say and he couldn't help but to gently shake his head. 'It is nothing that you have done wrong. It is just that you and the Poliwag are the two Pokemon that our trainers had come across so the two of you are the ones that our trainers have decided to battle. If it was up to me, I would rather be resting on Nate's shoulder where it is nice and comfy rather be down here battling you. I don't care if the home is yours or if it is the Poliwag's home, our trainers want us to battle you so we have no option but to listen to them.' She called out.

Luck watched as Atlanna swiftly gather up some more decomposed seaweed and launched it at the wild Shellder. She let out a sigh when the Shellder tried to run away but then got collided with the attack launched by Atlanna. 'I have told you that we have to do what our trainers tell us to do. If they tell us to do a move on you then that is what we have to do. We have no choice in the matter.'

Luck backed away slightly when the Shellder spun around and narrowed its eyes at the Poliwag. 'You do not look happy.' She called out before she launched her own attack. 'But it is an excuse as it is very hard for us to disobey our trainers at such a low level. If we were stronger and our trainers didn't have the proper... what ever it is that they collect to control us... then we would be able to disobey them but now we aren't and they don't so we can't disobey them.' Luck looked on slightly sad when the Shellder begged for them to leave it alone.

"Luck come back here." Nate bent down as he pulled out a pokeball and held out his spare hand.
Luck crawled over to Nate and up into her trainer's hand.
Nate stood up. "Mothra I choose you." Nate opened up the Poke Ball.
Mothra appeared on the field.

OOC Luck is returned

Tristan tosses a Pokeball at Shellder!

The now one-sided battle had picked up pace dramatically since the departure of the wild Poliwag, the wild Shellder had been left alone fighting for its own freedom. The bivalve mollusk pokemon's body language oozed concern as it was violently shaking and spinning around searching for a possible getaway point. By comparison to her opponent, Atlanna felt like she was on the clock, there was no time for silly games in her world, she only meant business and getting in her road and stopping her from doing business was just asking for trouble. Atlanna's decomposed seaweed like 'mud shot' attacking maneuver worked an absolute treat in both damaging the bivalve mollusk pokemon whilst also slowing it down dramatically, now if only she would actually listen to her trainer Tristan rather than act on her own so sporadically, Nate had even picked up on the example of ignorance and made comment about it to Tristan to which the blonde haired boy replied,

"Yeah look she's new one to the team and a stubborn little lass, as feisty as they come for sure, but the potential's there, it's my job to unlock it"

As the now slow and weakened bivalve mollusk pokemon went to leer in the direction of its opponents, it was stopped dead in its tracks and frozen by the paralysis that had been induced from the thick cloud of spores that floated from Nate's bug type pokemon. Nate's strategy had worked to perfection, the kid clearly knew his stuff. With the wild Shellder firmly frozen on the spot, Tristan took the opportunity as it presented itself and hurriedly retrieved a red and white colored empty pokeball from his backpack, clicked the button in the center to enlarge the spherical capturing device to its normal size and then proceeded to toss it directly towards the bivalve mollusk pokemon. Atlanna turned and looked towards Tristan and had a dirty look painted all over her small face, she wanted to inflict some more hurt on the wild Shellder, Tristan shook his head as if to deny her the gratification that she was seemingly seeking and instead the blonde haired teen turned over to face Nate,

"Here's to hoping for a successful capture, thanks for your assistance by the way Nate, you're a cool dude"

The shellder's eyes widened fearfull, "you are slaves?! Bound to their will?!" It gasped horrified as it heard what Luck had to say about not having a choice when it came to what battling. It looked up at the humans who hadn't looked to bad until now, just a bit weird, but now it saw nothing but horrible monsters and it missed entirely that the humans thought Atlanna worked on her own, she had used the same attack which she had been ordered to in the beginning.
"That's horrible! Why can you bear it?" It whispered and looked pleadingly at them, "please! Let me go, I don't want to end like a mindless thing forced to battle against my will! I just want to live a peaceful life, enjoy the sunsets and grow old, please! I'm begging you!"

It whined when it saw the pokeball Tristan made ready and awkwardly tried to hop around and escape, the paralysis made it struggle as every other hop didn't really work.
"Nooooooo!" It wailed when the pokeball hit it and it got sucked inside. It fought the pokeball valiantly, terrified of the future it had been told was waiting for it. the pokeball chimed clearly as it confirmed the capture and Tristan had a pokemon who probably had a bit less than overly positive view on its life under a trainer.

Shellder was caught.
