[Caramell 🍬]

Wild Krabby [Level 12] & Wild Krabby [Lv 12]
Encountered here
^{Clear weather is in effect.}

[Tarlar]

Had Lei known Nate had been watching the battle so closely, she would have asked what he could have learned from her and Marchbaby just throwing a couple of pokeballs at the binacles, no attacks called whatsoever. Of course he might have just noted down what pokeballs they had been using.
She was quite interested in seeing what other pokemon Nate had on him, but they turned out not to be very interesting to her, especially not after having seen a lucario. She pointed at the sunkern, "as long as you can control I have no problem with it being energetic, but why haven't you evolved it yet?" She asked, "not been able to get a stone yet?"

Flynn glanced over at Blasty and sighed, "I don't feel like I lost, and I know the humans just do what they want, they don't have a clue about what is going on for the wild ones, and it was unavoidable but I still feel guilty."
He looked up surprised as Suntaro jumped over and he quickly forgot his gloom, "You are a real sunshine, aren't you!" He grinned and then stroke a pose, "I'm Flynn! Adventurer! Seeker of excitement! And whom does I have the honor of standing in front of?"

Lei went to the nearest pool and glanced down into it, staryus. She turned away and didn't see them hide. They had those already so they had no interest to her, not if she could get something else. Loud splashes caught her attention but it was just some poliwags which were jumping into hiding. The dwebble on the other hand, Lei didn't need it herself as she had bought a pretty well trained one ages ago, but perhaps Nate could use one?
"Hey Nate, could you use.." she began to ask as she pointed at the dwebbles but got forcible interrupted.
"AAAARGH!" She screamed as the krabby snapped its claw around her leg, hadn't this been pokemon she would have been badly injured but now she mostly just collapsed onto the sharp rocks of the beach.

Flynn jumped shocked when Lei screamed and spun around to see her collapse and in close combat with a wild pokemon.
"Whoops! Seems like I'm late!" He said with a nervous laugh and blasted a water gun after one of the krabbys as he ran over to assist his trainer. He tried to push it away from Lei.
"We crashed!" He shouted to the krabbys, "if you don't want to get caught then run!"

The main thing that had impressed Nate when it came to Lei's battle was that it wasn't much of a battle in that regard, since all she had done was throw balls at it so it was more luck than strategy. He couldn't wait to see what else he would be able to learn from her.
Nate didn't rally have that interesting Pokemon with him, maybe people would be impressed with Levi since it could become a strong Pokemon with some training. But he was near the start of the region so he didn't really have that interesting Pokemon. "He is just very gullible and is friendly to everyone friend and foe alike. But he is pretty harmless. I want to get him stronger before I even think of evolving him." Nate shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Plus I haven't found a Sun Stone yet."

Blasty cocked his head to the side as he listened to what Flynn had to say. 'I just mean that we don't control our trainers. If we did then the journey would be so much easier. But it would most likely be boring as then we wouldn't really get into many battles since we would just talk through our problems.'
He let out a slight sigh when Suntaro bounced over to them. 'He is like this with everyone he meets.' Blasty rolled his eyes.
'Woooow! You are so exciting. I am Suntaro the Sunkern. I am not as strong as Blasty, Luck or Mimosa but I do my best.' Suntaro said excitedly.

Nate staid back as Lei approached the nearest pool, if a wild Pokemon suddenly appeared and attacked or surprised her then he would be in a better position to order his Pokemon to protect the older female. He did wonder how many more Pokemon were available since he had caught two Poliwags and a Staryu, while he had also seen a Binacle and a Shelder, so are those the only four Pokemon available here or are there some more for him to find?
"Use what..." Nate started to say as he didn't see the Dwebble.
His eyes widened in slight shock when red pincers snapped around her leg. "Suntaro!" Nate shouted.
Suntaro bounced over to Lei.
Nate rushed over to Lai as she collapsed onto the sharp rocks of the beach.

'Guess we are battling together.' Suntaro said excited for his first double battle.
"Suntaro use Mega Drain on the other Krabby." Nate ordered as he looked down at Lei. "Are you okay?"
The sprout on Suntaro's head glowed white, and it shoots a dark green beam from its sprout at the Zubat. The green beam attempts to grabs the opponent's Pokemon, with hopes of trapping it inside with the intent of sucking its energy.

OOC Suntaro used Mega Drain

The two Krabby turned to the strange looking otter that appeared and raised their claws up into the air. Although they looked identical, one Krabby was older than the other one. It’s tough shell had lots of small scratches and cuts all over its body that had healed up and was evident of the harsh reality of its wild life at the Rock Pools. It waved its extended claws in the air snapping about angrily and skittered towards the Oshawott as it tried to snap its claws in the blue Pokemon’s white face. “Why should we trust you?!” The crustacean asked Flynn skeptically. “Why not return the other Pokemon that live here? Why steal?!”

Flynn fired a blast of water at the younger Krabby that had been busily focused on Leilani. As soon as the woman fell down on the rocky ground, it would raise its other pinschers and wave them around dramatically. It skittered up towards her face with an excited and determined expression on its face. This human was going to pay for what she had done to the Binacle and to all the other Pokemon she had found and stolen away at the Rock Pool. As soon as it reached out to snap a claw down on her nose, Flynn’s powerful jet of water would knock it out of the way. The young Krabby jumped up and spun around as it screamed at the Oshawott and the small seedling with a sharp glare. “What are you doing?! You don’t belong! You both must leave before I make you leave!”

The old Krabby’s eyes widened as soon as he noticed how ruthlessly the little otter attacked. When the small yellow seedling with a small sprout popping up out the top of its head appeared, the crustacean curled itself up. It tucked its feet underneath its body and wrapped its large claws around itself protectively. “We just want to live here in peace!” It protested. A bright greyish aura surrounded the Pokemon’s body as the Krabby toughened itself in preparation for the next hit. Though it was focused on the Oshawott, Suntaro shot a large green beam of energy that hit the Krabby directly and stole away a large chunk of its health. “We refuse to let those people catch us! We refuse!” The Old crustacean bellowed belligerently.

[Tarlar]

Flynn smiled gratefully to Blasty and his attempt to cheer him up, he wouldn't have expected that of the squirtle back when they met each other on the ship. Blasty had seemed so close minded and refused to do anything which didn't mean him relaxing and watching the clouds. It was good to know, that while he might not like it, he would be there and have you back if needed.

Flynn glanced at the overly excited sunkern at his side, as he rushed to aid Lei. "Looks like it!" He replied and managed a grin before his attention got dragged back to the krabbys ahead of them.
"I have nothing but my word to give," he admitted honestly and pointed at them, "but attacking is not helping your case. Our trainers aren't stealing but they are catching you, running is your best case! Most lives with trainers are good though, you are fed and healed if sick or injured, and you are going to travel a lot," he added seriously.
"Like the life in the wild it has its good and its bad sides, again if you don't want to get caught then run!" He added, and was really happy that Lei wouldn't understand a word he said, or he was sure he would be feeling her wrath.
He couldn't do much other than what he did, but he doubted it would make much difference as the krabby didn't seem to understand they would have to run (then he could pretend to do some mistake so they got away), and he saw Lei pulling a pokeball from her pocket.

Lei groaned and then gasped and covered as the krabby rushed towards her head. Water dripped on her and she felt something big fly past her, she peeked out and saw that the krabby wasn't about to cut her nose off anymore. "I will be!" Lei sanpped furiously and pulled a pokeball from her pocket, "that krab is going to pay for that!" She snarled and hurled it after the one she thought had been attacking her. It was not acceptable behavior, not even for a wild pokemon as it would make it way too dangerous for humans if they got attacked directly. There was a reason they had pokemon under their control as punching bags.
"Get over here!" She ordered Flynn and pointed in front of her, but the oshawott was already moving and leaped over her to protect her against the krabbys.

(ooc: Lei throws a pokeball at the "young" krabby (most HP), didn't self update)

[nategrey]

Blasty was a lazy Pokemon, but he would always be there for the Pokemon that he called a friend or ally whether it was one of Nate's Pokemon or a Pokemon belonging to another trainer who he had teamed up with like it was with Flynn. But he didn't want to see the other starter being down so if he could help to cheer him up then he would try his best to do it.

'Yay... I get to team up with a new friend.' Suntaro said excitedly as he bounced along slightly behind Flynn since he was slower than the other Pokemon. He hoped that he would be able to inflict great damage on the wild Pokemon to make the capture easier for his trainer, since he was sure that there wasn't one on his team.
'I am not sure about Flynn trainer.' Suntaro bounced around to look at Lei, he then looked at Nate before he bounced back around to look at the two Krabbys. 'But I know that Nate wants to add new friends for us so we all can grow stronger to protect people from the people who he is hiding from. So why don't you join us on our journey?'
'You need to stop telling them everything. Nate doesn't like to talk about his past or poison types!' Luck called out from Nate's shoulder.
'I prefer to be with Nate. As it lets you travel to new places and face Pokemon that you normally wouldn't face. Like I have faced a Bellsprout that I would not have normally would have faced on Route 29 where Nate found me.' Suntaro wanted to have the Krabby join them on their journey.

Nate backed away slightly when Lei snapped furiously when he had asked her if she was alright, he held up his hands slightly. "No need to be mad at me." He tried to be defensive and caring at the same time. "I just think it is trying to protect its territory and to punish us for something. But for what?" Nate raised an eyebrow as he thought about what the reason could be for the Krabbys behaviour could be about. "Suntaro come to my side." He called out.
Suntaro bounced over to Nate. 'But I can still...' He started to say but then he saw that Nate was he was looking at Mothra.
"Mothra it is your time to battle." Nate said.
Mothra crawled forward. 'This is how you battle.' He called behind him at the female bug type.

OOC Suntaro returned
Mothra sent out

[Caramell 🍬]

The two crustaceans glanced at each other and then back to the small otter. One tapped its claw against the ground even as the human roared in its ear. “Do you think it is telling the truth?” The younger crab asked the older crab, who only spun around to eye both humans and their Pokemon suspiciously. The older crustacean had been in too many fights and heard too many stories to take the word of some strange otter that had no problem firing water-based attack after water-based attack at them. “Stand your ground, young whippersnapper. If you hope to make it out of this battle alive, you’ll follow my instructions and heed them well.” The younger crab nodded, following the advice of his mentor.

However, when Leilani pulled the ball out of seemingly nowhere and hurled it at the crustacean all bets were off. It tossed its pinschers up into the air and waved them around wildly as it rushed off across the rough, rocky terrain of the poolside. “They’re out to get me! You won’t take me alive! I like living here, where I’ve always known to be home!” It bellowed, scuttling back and forth in wild, zigzag patterns. The ball would hit the crustacean in the square of its back and fall on a bed of sharp rocks as it wiggled around. It bounced excitedly, like a basketball being dribbled on a courtyard, and shook with fervor. When the ball rolled into the calm waters of the pool it floated on the surface and dinged with success.

The other crustacean’s eyes widened in alarm as it tossed its claws up angrily and began to wave them in the air. It would open its pinschers and snap them shut several times as a warning before scuttling after its opponents. “You’ll all pay for this! You and your humans will pay!” It swore as the almost metallic clink, clink of its pinschers echoed in the air. Even as Suntaro disappeared and the strange new reddish-pink bug appeared in its place, the older crab gave chase. “You all lied to me and took my friend away! I demand you bring him back!” As its claws began to glow with a strange, metallic sheen it would snap after the small reddish-pink bug and just barely miss as Mothra jumped out of the way. ”HOLD STILL!”

[Tarlar]

Lei didn't see Nate's reaction to her snapping, she was furious that the pokemon had attacked her and she was going to teach it a lesson. She wasn't angry at Nate but she couldn't take his feelings into consideration while this was going on, and the adrenaline pumped in her veins. The krabby was too close and needed to be dealt with.
"I don't care for why they are aggressive, they shouldn't target people!" Lei growled and watched the pokeball, who of course had hit its mark, jump here and there as the content fought its capture. She pushed herself up higher and winced from the pain in her legs, when the pokeball disappeared into the nearby pool and cursed under her breath.

She glanced at the weak unimpressed bug and rolled her eyes, although it quickly changed to surprise when Mothra managed to jump out of the way and dodge the incoming attack. "A fast one, but it won't help it in the long run. Flynn, go protect it, get the krabs attention," Lei ordered and turned her attention to her leg, which had been nipped by the krab. It was already getting blue and she made plenty of grimaces as she poked it and slowly tested if it could hold her weight.
She waved at Nate, "I need help to get up," and if he accepted she would use him as support to get up standing.
"At least its not broken, but by Bulu it hurts!" She graoned as she carefully put a bit of weight on it. Her back was sore too and she would surely get a lot of bruises there as well from having fallen on the pointy rocks.

Flynn shot a glance at Suntaro and giggled, "Adventures are awesome! I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world either!" He declared, back to his old confident self.
He looked a bit annoyed when the krabby's talked to each other, "Of course I am telling the truth, if you don't want to be caught then run! She is about to try catch you now, if you stay she will succeed!" He warned but was too late, the older krabby thought it was best to not do as he told, but again, how should they know? The young krabby tried to dodge the pokeball but Lei was too skilled in throwing them and still managed to hit it in one go, he saw it fight the ball bigorously with a pang of sadness.
"I told you!" He shouted at the bigger krab as the pokeball plumped into the nearby pool and a moment later the welknown chime of capture rung over the area.
"I warned you! Hey! Over here!" He called as she jumped forward to get the krab's attention. He spun around and waved his tail tauntingly at the older krabby. "What is it? do you want to run to avoud capture? Or do you want to see if you can figure out to hit me? I promise I will stay completely still!"

Wordcount: 508
(ooc: Flynn uses Tail Whip to distract the krabby. self updated the caught krabby.)

[nategrey]

Nate guessed that Lei didn't mean to snap at him, since she was just furious over the wild Krabby having clipped her with its pincers. But he didn't see why she was taking her anger out on him, since he didn't do anything to her to inflict pain on her, unless she was mad at him because he didn't follow her to the pool to search for some more wild Pokemon.
"It is as simple as why people have war. They do it to protect their own territories, the wild Pokemon just want to protect their homes. So I can see where they are coming from." Nate decided not to pay any attention to Lei's growl and paid more attention to the shaking poke ball since it could make his decision easier if one of the Krabby's were caught, since he doubt that Mothra would be able to survive an attack from both of them.

He couldn't help but to smirk slightly when he noticed that his bug type had managed to easily jump out of the way of the incoming attack from the wild Pokemon. "Doesn't surprise me that much. He does have some sort of rivalry with Luck for some reason. But if I am going to use Mothra in my battle against Falkner then I am going to have to train him up a whole lot more." Nate smiled gently when he heard what Lei had ordered Flynn to protect his weak Mothra. He looked down at the older female and saw that she was checking over her hurt leg.
Nate held out his hand to give Lei a hand up and stood close by so that she could use him as support if she needed it. "No problem."
"That is good news then. Just be careful." Nate looked back at the Pokemon as he wondered how the battle would enfold.

Suntaro looked on slightly confused when he heard Flynn had giggled, but he soon relaxed when the water type explained. 'I can't wait to go on more adventures with Nate and the others.' He was happy to have so many new friends he could go on adventures with.
'You shouldn't tell them to run. If they run then how am I going to be friends with them? We would have to find them again in order for me to become friends with them again.' Suntaro looked on upset that he could possibly lose his new friend. He brightened up when one of the wild Pokemon disappeared into the poke ball. 'I guess we are going to travel together then.'
Mothra watched as Flyn distracted the remaining Krabbby to protect himself. 'Listen I don't need you to protect me. I can protect myself with no help from you.' He called out annoyed with having being protected.
Luck rolled her eyes at Mothra's behaviour.
Nate pulled out a poke ball and tried to throw it at the Krabby with hopes of capturing it.

OOC Nate used a poke ball

[Caramell 🍬]

The Old Krabby stared at Flynn suspiciously. When did trainer Pokemon help the wild Pokemon in the area? What would Flynn gain from it? There had to be more to the situation than the Oshawott actually caring about the Krabby and wanting to help them with their goal of not being captured. The orange crustacean glanced out in the distance and placed one of its comically large pinschers underneath his chin. While is scratched its chin gently, being careful not to hurt itself with its sharp claws, it hummed thoughtfully. What if it did run away? Just turn its back and- HEY! “You are only trying to trick me!” The Krabby screamed at Flynn. Enraged, it began to slam its pinschers onto the rocky hard ground of the poolside and slapped the loose pebbles that were scattered all along the ground. “You want me to turn my back so that you can capture me!”

The Oshawott began to jump around to keep the Krabby’s attention on the small otter. It worked entirely too well. The old Krabby scuttled after the other Pokemon as its anger fueled it. It would scoop up anything and everything it could in its claws and throw at Flynn as hard and fast as it could. “I won’t let you trick me! You can’t have me!” The Krabby frothed at the mouth as thick foam puddled around its lips and dripped down its face. It tossed rocks of various sizes and shaped after Flynn, trying to knock some into the Oshawott’s head in its anger. It would also gather large piles of sand, some broken branches, and even small plant litter and slung it at Flynn. “I’ve worked way too hard to be too free for too long!” It huffed and puffed angrily. “And I will never let you capture me!”

The Pokeball would take it completely by surprise. The bright beam of red light wrapped around the crustacean and lifted it up as it slowly dragged it into the ball. “Hey, hey, what are you doing?!” The Krabby screamed, before disappearing in the blink of an eye. “Put me down this instance!” The Pokeball would snap close and fall on the rocky ground of the poolside. Much like Leilani’s capture, Nate’s Pokeball bounced all around the ground as the Pokemon inside of it fought to escape and reclaim its freedom. The Pokeball would prove to be too much for Krabby, however. After several long minutes, it would ding to announce a successful capture.
