Hit the Road [Mod][F]

[Rexman]

Fortunately, the journey to New Bark town was entirely uneventful. She was already nervous enough, it wouldn’t have been good to be stressed out the entire trip. Beneath the nerves and the Butterfrees in her stomach, was the knowledge that this was going to be fun. How could you travel with Pokemon and not be excited?

Caitlin bit her lip slightly as she headed to Elm’s lab, only to find that no one was there. Her care package was already arranged and when she picked it up, it had the poke ball of her starter Pokemon as well as the other items she needed to get started on her adventure.
Thankful for a simple process, she stopped in to talk to the assistant about the Pokedex program, but was then quickly on her way. Walking briskly, she reached the town limits and stared down Route 29. The Pokemon on this route were supposed to be basic, common Pokemon that were easy to fight and deal with. She could only pray that it was true, since her partner was new and young. Taking one more calming breath, she stepped out of the town limits of New Bark, and moved forward onto the route.

Just to be safe, she stayed on the path for the time being and would maybe step into the high grass if something interested her.

Thin white sheets of altostratus clouds stretched out lazily over the bright blue skies above. They wrapped around the sun in broken tiers and struggled against the burning gas’ bright ultraviolet rays that shot down past the exosphere to troposphere to the living creatures below. A gentle breeze clung on the winds like a silent whisper. Through its gentle touch it brought only heat like a stifling sickness, which caused most of the wild Pokemon to scurry off to cooler and more secluded places in a hurry. Some seemed to make do through the heat. Small reddish-pink caterpillars pushed theirs heads up above mounds of littered, dried golden-brown leaves and organic ground litter. When the telltale pitter-patter of human feet bounced off the well-worn dirt path that climbed through the route in a sleepy spell towards Cherrygrove caught their ears, they would all vanish in the blink of an eyes.

A strange bird soared overhead. It’s short pink wings make flight difficult for the tiny bird, and so it had to flap twice as hard to gain the altitudes that many of its avian counterparts could achieve. The brown feathered Pokemon with its rich cream colored belly darted from branch to branch, seeking out refuge. Another bird rose up over the sandhills and flapped its bright pink wings. Except for the large clawed out scar that ran over the eye of one of the birds and down underneath its beak, they looked like twins. The two brave creatures chirped with a loud shrill and stared each other down. It might have seemed as though nothing would come of it for a long time. Then, with movements so fast that just blinking would have caused you to miss it, they fell out.

Both danced in the air as they clashed against each other. Feathers flew up in a flurry and rained down in a hue of browns and pinks all around them. Still, beak met claw. One Spearow drove the other into the base of a large Oak tree, rattling the gigantic plant as it pinned the other against it. The other Spearow kicked and clawed its feet against the other Spearow’s soft stomach. They both would beat their wings against the other’s head, daring the other to make another move, and cawed angrily in a territorial chatter that caused some small purple rodents to pop their heads up and run away in a quick scurry. The battle would end nearly as quickly as it ended as the scarred Spearow slammed its shoulder into the other and knocked it to the forest floor, before hopping away through the canopy above in short bursts of flight.

The smaller Spearow rolled over and flapped its wings with a bruised ego. It cawed, tilting its head back and rolling its tongue against the roof of its beak in loud clicks. This was its territory and it would do anything to defend it! It jumped about on its sharp feet, kicking at small pebbles and knocking away sharp twigs to ensure that nothing else invaded its land. As soon as its eyes landed on Caitlin, it hopped over in short bursts of flight and landed before her. “Ssppppeaaaarrroooowwww!” The brave bird screamed, daring her to battle it. If she refused, it was fully prepared to jump up into the air and try to rip out her bright red hair right out of her head.

A Wild Spearow is attacking!

Level 3. What will Caitlin do?
Heat Wave will be in effect.

Special Roll: 0k7VFtmA1-100 | Shiny? 1-421-100·1-42

[Rexman]

It was hot on the route, much hotter than Caitlin ever would have expected. Was it always this hot during the summer time in this part of the region? Perhaps, she had just been spoiled by the natural water formations of Blackthorn City, which made the area cooler due to the breeze off the water. Sweat beaded on her forward, making some of the loose strands of hair stick. She had tied her hair back into a messy ponytail but due to the length and curl of the strands, some of her hair escaped the knot. It was a good thing that she was taking her time and walking at a leisurely pace, otherwise she would be drenched by now. She really needed to buy a hat, but didn’t want to turn around now. Her thoughts about her comfort and the heat were broken by the sound of something making contact with the forest floor.

More curious than concerned, Caitlin moved to step off the path when the sound of wings and flapping stopped her. Taking a step back, she watched as a small bird Pokemon landed before her, spread its wings, and screamed. Blinking, Caitlin tried to identify the bird, but it just wasn’t clicking in her head. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out the small red electronic device and pointed it at the bird. The Dex opened automatically and a robotic voice started speaking:

”Spearow, the tiny bird Pokemon. A normal and flying type. It’s short wings make it inept at flying. It moves about hurriedly and pecks at bug Pokemon in the tall grass. Its reckless nature nature leads it to stand up to others - even larger Pokemon - to defend its territory”

Suddenly, the behavior of the Pokemon made total sense. She would have loved to try to reason with the poor bird, but that didn’t look like it was going to happen. So, as she knew well, there was only one way this was going to get settled.
”I accept your challenge” she said, feeling a little odd talking to a Pokemon.
Reaching into her other pocket, she pulled out her only filled poke ball and tossed it into the air, watching as Azazel materialized before her. Upon seeing the Spearow threatening Caitlin, the fire lizard’s eyes hardened and he took a battle stance.

”Ember attack” she said simply, not fooling around with a dangerous wild Pokemon like Spearow.
Azzie’s mouth started to glow orange before small bits and pellets of fire were forward at the bird.

Summary:
Caitlin accepts challenge
Azazel selected, uses Ember attack

[DarkSlayer]

That scorching sun overhead had a way of frying anybody's brain. Really. Well maybe not anybody's, as you could probably tell by looking at Azazel. Indeed, if Caitlin were paying close enough attention she would be able to see that he was actually doing very well already, appearing to be in his element, quite literally. His tail flame seemed to grow in size as soon as those sun rays hit him, and there was a fierceness in his eyes, as if he knew that nothing could stop him. Whether or not that would be true would be determined by this battle though, wouldn't it?

Spearow, no matter how hot it was, absolutely could not let this trainer and her pokemon just get off scot free. No way! They would undoubtedly cause nothing but destruction and chaos for them all! What gives it that idea you wonder? Hello, did I not just say that the charmander's tail flame grew in size?! Just what would you expect a poor little birdie to think other than "oh my gosh my whole nest is going to go up in smoke?"

"Oh my gosh, my whole nest is going to up in smoke!" the spearow cried, looking quite alarmed. See? I told you. "You cannot be here! I must stop you from destroying my family's home! Stop, in the name of the sky lords!"

Who are the sky lords? Beats me. But you know, sometimes pokemon created systems of hierarchy among themselves and decreed one another kings and lords and what have you. And this spearow... okay none of that matters right now. What does matter is the way that the bird launched itself in the air, readying for an attack, and then found itself getting a face full of fire. Because that was going to calm it down, right?

"I've been hit! Light the beacons of Gondor! Kaw! Kaw!"

The screams were something truly terrifying, at least to the likes of the wild pokemon that were nearby. Needless to say that all of them were now hiding in the most deep, dark places that they possibly could, absolutely shaken to their core. Unsure of what more it could do at this point, the spearow did the one thing that made sense. It growled at its firey foe as if this was going to save the day. Oh yes, because that'll make the fire lizard quiver.

SP13 Azazel used ember!
SP10 Spearow used growl!

[Rexman]

Caitlin watched as Azazel prepared and then fired his attack, noticing that the flame on the end of his tail seemed to be burning brighter and higher. She then realized that the super hot atmospheric temperature was powering her Pokemon. How cool! She had no idea that the weather could impact the battling ability in such a fashion. Making a mental note to research this further, she put her mind back to the battle and watched as the ember pieces struck the bird, causing battle damage.

In fact, the attack seemed to work well, the bird looking rather disheveled and vulnerable to a follow up attack. Caitlin expected a retaliatory attack from the bird, but instead it just made a series of vocalizations and then growled at Azazel.

Azazel, however, was looking at the bird with a funny expression on his face. The sky lords? Gondor? What on Earth was this wild Pokemon talking about? He had never heard any of these wild ramblings before. It could just be the fact that the Charmander grew up in the lab and had no world experience, but the Spearow still seemed a tad off.

Analyzing the situation, Caitlin decided that she liked the aggressiveness and the combat abilities of the Spearow. It was small, but spunky. It wasn’t giving up and seemed to want to fight for what it considered its own. She could use more Pokemon with that kind of attitude. Reaching into the correct pocket, Caitlin pulled out one of her empty poke balls. Gripping it correctly, she enlarged the ball and using a sidearm throw, threw the poke ball at the wild bird, attempting the capture.

Azzie watched the ball fly and stood on his guard, just in case the wild Pokemon escaped the poke ball and attacked.

Summary:

Caitlin uses 1 poke ball for capture

[DarkSlayer]

Spearow was absolutely determined yet to prove its abilities in protecting its family! All it had to do was buy enough time, and surely the rest of them would be able to get far, far away from this dreadful situation. But really, it would be cool if those beacons could be lit. Maybe just take some of that fire from the lizard's tail and put it in one of those lantern stakes people use in their gardens and stuff. That would look pretty cool, wouldn't it?

"Don't look at me like that! I'm not crazy!" You know how they say that when someone said something like that, it might mean that they're in denial, and they're actually most likely really crazy? Well now just recall an image of somebody that you thought was like completely unhinged, and then go ahead and add in burnt hair sticking up all over, some soot and ash smudged along their face. Yeah, that's pretty much what that bird looked like, so we can all just imagine what Azazel was thinking right about now. And I know I can't blame him in the least.

On top of all of that, with the heat and everything, this bird was just tired. And it really didn't have much fight left in it, either. So there was no trying to get out of the ball's way, even if it were somehow possible to avoid it. Instead, the ball smacked the poor bird right there in the head, and sucked it on up. And that pokeball hit the ground and began to wiggle... and then came that tell tale sign. Thus it would appear that Caitlin has herself another pokemon to call her friend. But she might have a little bit of a fight getting it to like her after getting roasted a bit.

Azazel grew to Level 7!

[Rexman]

Caitlin watched with held breath as the poke ball made contact with the bird’s face. Once the Spearow was inside, the ball began to shake and by the third wiggle, the shaking stopped and the latch in the middle of the ball dinged, signaling that the capture was successful.
They did it!
When her brain processed the event, her face slowly lit up and she smiled big, whooping for joy.
”Azzi, we did it!” she yelled, jumping into the air.

Kneeling down, she beckoned the fire Pokemon forward and the little Charmander waddled over, accepting a hug and a pat on the head from his trainer.
”You were amazing little dude! I’m so proud of you. Way to go. Now, there might be some attitude from this bird, but I want you to promise me that you’ll behave,” she said, giving him a serious look.

At first, Azazel crossed his arms and looked away, but after a few seconds he sighed and nodded. The young Charmander knew this was going to happen eventually, he just didn’t expect their first new team member to be such a whack a doo.
”That’s my little team leader,” she said with a grin, rubbing his head again before standing up straight. She walked over to the poke ball sitting on the ground and bent over to pick it up. Ball in hand, she looked around to see if any other wild Pokemon had appeared. Seeing the coast was clear, she pressed the latch and the Spearow materialized before them.

The young bird glared daggers at the human, before glaring even harder at the Charmander.
”Welcome to the team. It is so nice to meet you and I promise that I will take great care of you. You have to trust me, but I know that will come in time. So for now, I want to give you a name. How does Harpie, sound?”

The bird cocked her head and stared at the human, before clicking her beak. Harpie? It…. actually sounded like a pretty badass name. Since she was stuck in this predicament, might as well try to get on the human’s good side.
Nodding, the bird scrapped her feet on the road before spreading her wings.
Wondering if this would work, Caitlin held her arm out from her body, and motioned with her head towards her outstretched arm. She knew that the Spearow didn’t fly all that well, so her arm acting as a post might encourage the bird. Caitlin remained there for a minute before the bird lifted up and landed on her arm, forcing her elbow down a little bit. The trainer could feel the bird’s talons through her shirt, but she wasn’t digging in.

”Such a pretty bird. I’ll help you with your feathers when we get to the next town,” she said with a smile. Gently, she pushed up on her arm and the Spearow flapped off, before Caitlin held up the poke ball and the red beam returned her.

”Let’s keep going, Azzie, see what we find,”
Nodding, the Charmander plodded along beside his trainer, himself interested on what would happen next.

Caitlin introduces herself to her Spearow, names her Harpie.
Caitlin continues on the route.

[Caramell 🍬]

You know what they say in school, right? The best type of class was a FIELD TRIP! Tons of small kindergarteners ran around the open route, chasing the wildlife with their arms stretched upwards towards the skies above. One of them was a curly-headed boy named Markus, who led his friends through tall grasses with a large smile painted on his face. The smaller navy-cut brown haired child that pressed to Markus’ side shook and shivered as he twisted his head this way and that, on the alert for absolutely anything that could attack them. “I…I…I dunno about th-this Markus…” The smaller child gulped and cowered behind his friend’s back as they wandered through the wilderness. Markus laughed, spinning around, and tapped his friend on the shoulder. “Don’t be such a baby, Jacob! We’re Kindeegardiners now! We’re practically all growed up!” Marukus declared triumphantly.

A smaller lad that looked like he barely qualified to be in preschool followed the both of them. When Markus stopped in front of a large, overturned tree that was nearly the size of all three boys, the smallest lad of them all walked over and tugged on his hat. “Hmm…” He muttered to himself, eying the large plant carefully and scouring it from one end to the other. “Well, Ash’on? What we do now?! You’re da smart one!” Markus declared, holding up one hand and pointing to his friend. “Dis is a peedicamen’ for sure! Dis ledge will cost us five days’ travel at da rate we goin’!” Ashton declared bravely, and illuminated with hand gestures how much smaller they were than the stump. Markus crossed his arms over his chest and slammed his butt on the ground in the wild grass. “HMPH! NO FAIR!” He pouted, kicking his feet against the ground as he threw a tantrum. “MRS. WIL’EBERRY SAIS WE ONLY HERE FOR DA EV’NIN’!”

Ashton nodded his head and scratched his chin thoughtfully. “Know what I t’ink?” The Markus stopped pouting for a second as his eyes widened and both boys leaned in close, shaking their heads firmly. “I t’ink someone did dis! Dey wanna stop our fun!” Markus jumped up and clapped his hands together to applaud his noble friend. Of course, someone had to be behind this nefarious scheme! Why else would this imposs-tree be stuck on its side in the middle of their path?! It wasn’t like there was a whole forest where they could just walk around the darn thing, you know? Not in the imaginary world of a kindergartener, at least! So, off they went, in search of every ‘big kid’ they could find – and accuse – until Ashton jumped out smack dab in front of Caitlin, pointing his finger accusingly at her and summoning his trusty puppy to his side. “A’mit your guilt, you van'al! We’s saws da tree all knocked over!” He hissed. “Else Puppy gunna hafa make you a’mit!” The Snubbull barked, jumping excitedly at the young boy’s side.

Kindergartener Ashton challenges Caitlin to a battle!

[Rexman]

As they walked, Caitlin was using the Poke-dex to its greatest potential, looking up extra data not only on Harpie but on what other Pokemon could possibly be encountered on this route. It wasn’t a huge selection, but that was to be expected. Most of the species that were found on these early routes were weaker ones, perfect challenges for new trainers. Of course, anything could happen when wild Pokemon were involved, but basic bird and rodent Pokemon were the normal expectation. She was in the middle of a loading screen when she felt a tug on her pant leg.

Looking down at Azazel with an eyebrow raised, the fire type pointed in front of them. Curious, Caitlin looked up to follow his little finger when her eyes went wide at the huge pack of children that were wandering all over the route. Wow….that was a lot of tiny humans. Where were the teachers? She never would have let such a large group just loose like this. Shaking her head, she kept walking.
”It’s okay Azzie, just don’t let one of them near your tail, I don’t feel like dealing with a child with a burn.” she said with a smirk.

Azazel swung his tail around and looked at it, before clutching it close to his chest. His tail flame was special to him, after all. They didn’t get very far, though, before the over-eager young man jumped in front of her path and accused them of whatever his imagination was running away with. Caitln had learned a long time ago that the best way to manage a child’s imagination was to play along with it, as long as it wasn’t something violent or inappropriate.

The red head turned her back to the child for a second, fluffing her hair up and putting a very crazed look on her face. When she whirled around, she was cackling as a witch at Halloween would.
”Clever boy, clever boy. You have fallen right into my trap! Now you can’t leave my forest, what say you about that?” she asked, winking at the little boy that she was willing to play along with them.

”How dare you challenge me! I accept your challenge, my brave warrior. Let’s see what Puppy can do!” she cackled again, taking one her poke balls out. Snubbull were really cute Pokemon (at least to her) and she wanted to gush over this little boy’s Pokemon, but she couldn’t break character, not yet at least.

Tossing her poke ball up into the air, Harpie appeared and flapped to the ground. Spreading her wings out, she cawed at the pink canine Pokemon.
”I’ll be nice and let you have the first move, young one. Let’s see if you are as good as you claim to be,”

Azazel watched all of this, slightly confused about what was happening. He had never seen imagination in action and it was going to take him a while to fully understand it.

Summary:
Caitlin reacts to the little boys
Accepts Ashton's challenge
Sends out Harpie, level 3, allows little boy the first move.

[Caramell 🍬]

As the teacher would assume her new character role, Ashton’s eyes widened with fear and wonder. Was she really an evil and wicked witch? Did she curse them to ensure that they would never have any fun in the wild route while they were left to have fun on their fieldtrip? It certainly seemed so! It was made more obvious when Caitlin owned up to it. “I knewed it! I told dem you was a ebil wicked witch!” Ashton backed away and pointed a finger. Though Catilin’s winking made him feel better about accusing her, he couldn’t trust her powers. What if she was stronger than the strongest superhero he knew of? Stronger even than Gligarman or Gligirl?! Ashton gulped as he thought about possibility. “Is gunna take us eleventy days just to get around dat ‘tump!” Ashton accused.

Two small faces popped up next to Ashton. One was a boy with wild curly hair while the other was a boy with a navy cut. “LIAR!” The curly-headed boy named Markus cried out, raising a finger to point at Ashton. “YOU SAYED IT ONLY TAKE US FIVE DAYS!” Jacob shook and shivered, ducking down inside of the large bush that Markus and him had sprang out of. The witch looked scarier in person. He could just see her evil powers flowing from her body and sucking the life out of all the plants in the forest. He wasn’t built to be a superhero! Why didn’t he stay with the teacher instead?! “G-gu-uys…I dun-unno a-bout dis…” Jacob tried to whisper, but was definitely way too loud about it. “She looks really strong. Like Gligarman verses Toxic Waster strong! That took…ten whole episodes to defeat!” He shook and shivered like a leaf about to break away from the branch and cascade to the forest floor below.

Puppy jumped and barked excitedly as it ran around the small toddlers who…couldn’t keep their focus very well beyond evil girl bad, imagination land fun. Ashton shook his head and balled his fists up as he pumped them into the air above. “They’s no mission to big! No…ugh…” Markus leaned over and whispered (“whispered” more like screamed), “No city…” Ashton nodded his head. “Oh yeah, no city too small! Puppy use you Metreenoom!” Ashton instructed. Puppy wagged his fingers as he stood on his hind legs. Then, Puppy rushed over to Harpie and began to dance with the bird excitedly, swinging and bobbing all around the route. “Now bow down to my might, ebil villain!” Ashton declared bravely.

Ashton, you are so smart! Tell ya what, I could use a smart little boy like you. Why don’t you come and work for me? We could rule the playground and all of the other little boys would envy you!” she said, giving another little cackle to add some extra effect. He was playing the stereotypical hero, so his answer should be obvious. She blinked in surprise as two more little boys appeared, but one of them looked like he was actually frightened. Caitlin felt bad at that moment, she would obviously never want to scare a child in such a way. For a second, she considered breaking character, but that would probably disappoint the other two, especially Ashton. When this was all over, she’d check to make sure that they understood it was pretend. At that moment, the little boy Jacob mentioned Gligarman. Ahh, so these kids like Gligarman. She couldn’t blame them, superheroes were fun. ”Gligarman? Pft, what a loser. He couldn’t beat me, even if Gligirl helped him. Now, prepare to be trapped forever!” she cackled. Puppy finally decided to do something as Ashton called out a metronome. Wow, that was such an unpredictable move. Caitlin watched the pink pup’s fingers go back and forth, waiting for something terrible to happen when the Snubbull raced forward and….started dancing with Harpie? The Spearow glared at the canine but after a few seconds joined the opponent, dancing in a small circle. It was….comical to say the least. Caitlin barely was able to contain her laughter as Harpie flapped her wings and hopped along with Puppy. When the dance was finally over, Harpie glared even stronger at the pup before she hopped forward and with her beak glowing white with energy, attempted to peck the enemy in the face. Caitlin could tell the bird was embarrassed and when a hot head gets embarrassed, they tend to lash out.

[Caramell 🍬]

Ashton’s bright blue eyes widened. Was this evil witch trying to get him to change sides with her? The thought of ruling the playground caused him to think heavily. He was always the one used as a supporting element of his groups. Ashton wouldn’t mind being the one to lead the way sometimes, instead of the one being told to follow everyone else around. He turned his head from Jacob to Markus with a strange, confused look. “She’s trying to…what’s it called? Uh…” He’d heard his mother use the word a lot, especially when someone was trying to sweet talk someone else into doing something by promising them something they wanted. “Oh! Bibe! She’s trying to Bibe me!” He accused, raising one hand up to point at Caitlin.

Jacob shook his head and pressed himself lower into the bush and pulled some of the small branches over his face as he tried to remain hidden. Would one of his best friends take the deal? “Don’t be ebil, Ashton! It never pays!” Ashton’s face puffed up as he wagged a finger in Jacob’s face. His face puffed up so much that both of his cheeks turned bright red and looked like they could pop. “Don’t say dat! No one works for fee! It’s gotta pay something!” He declared boastfully. His mommy and daddy had also told him that ‘no one works for free’ and so there was no way he would believe otherwise. “My daddy says the bad guys are the cominys dat don’t pay they workers fairly! Maybe dat’s why ebil never pays?!” Markus piped up. Apparently…Caitlin’s very simple offer had devolved into quite the debate…? Ahh, children.

Ashton turned and pressed his fingers in his ears. “Lalalala! I can’t hear you guys! You’re so wrong!” Then added, “Puppy, use Metreenoom againt pease!” The Snubbul barked loudly as he held up his hands and began to wave them in the air.Harpie swooped up into the air, then dived down and pecked the small pink dog pretty ruthlessly against the top of its skull. The dog howled in the most awful sounding sound you could imagine. If you didn’t cover your ears and quick, would you even have eardrums left by the time the Snubbull stopped singing? Doubtlful. “Ex-exc-cuse me mis-misses wi-wit-tch bu-bu-but…” Jacob stuttered and stumbled over his words, speaking directly to Caitlin as he mustered up some of his own bravery. “Gligarman ca-can-an’t be be-eat-eaten by su-uu-uch a low-owl-owly witch li-iii-ike you. I bet you couldn’t even defeat Dun-parce Man!” He snickered, immediately snapping his ‘come back’ with a loud laugh. Though, all of this was said from the safety of his hiding spot, of course.

(Mod Notes: Metronome selected Sing)
Also, according to Bulbapedia you would be correct since she gained the ability its treated same as if she just entered the battle with it.

[attr="class","rexmanmethod"] Word Count: [attr="class","rexmanmethod2"] #### [attr="class","rexmanmethod3"] Time: [attr="class","rexmanmethod2"] Day [attr="class","rexmanroleplay"] Caitlin nodded eagerly. ”Very good! I am, in fact, attempting bribery. See, you just proved to me how smart you are. Well, with the exception of still wanting to be a good guy. Don’t you see? Villains have more fun!” she said with another cackle, throwing her hands up. Harpie raised her wings and cawed at the same time, hopefully making the impact that much stronger for the boys. She giggled as the boys started arguing with each other, poor Ashton’s face turning so red he almost looked like a Voltorb. However, she stopped laughing when the Snubbull was told to use metronome again. Everyone waited with bated breath for the result when the puppy started howling and wailing, creating what was probably the worst sound she had ever heard. Covering her ears at the tail end of the sing, her eyes almost went cross eyed trying to block the sound out. Would any Pokemon ever be lulled to sleep with something like that? She hoped not. Fortunately, Harpie was not affected and was ready for another attack round of the battle. Before she gave her command, one of the little boys, Jacob, she thought his name was, told her that she would never beat Gligarman, cute. Poor kid was still hiding. Smiling, she held her hand to her ear. ”Huh? What was that? Sorry, I can’t hear you from your little hiding spot! I bet Gligarman wouldn’t hide and say such things!” She was really having too much fun with this. ”Harpie, peck the daylights out of Puppy!” she cackled, as the bird lifted into the air and zoomed forward again, her beak glowing.

Caitlin was putting on a very convincing villainous role. It was downright entertaining even as it spooked all three boys thoroughly. Ashton stood up bravely and balled his tiny hands into small fists. This evil witch was trying to trick them down the dark path in life! If they turned down this path, they might be rewarded early on. But would they be rewarded when their lives were finally near the end? Would the police cart them away after years of reaming what they sow? Would they leave behind a trail of misery for everyone that they would hurt along the way? “No! You ebil witch! You wont has us!” Ashton declared bravely. Markus glanced over to his friend and smiled. Ashton saw through the darkness to the light that shined brighter and fiercer than anything there ever was. “Dat’s right! You tell her we dun want her cookies!”

Markus jumped up and down as he hooped and hollered excitedly. They were going to win! They were truly going show that good always prevails over evil! “But puppy’s gotta do something more…pow! Ya know? Gotta like blam blam dat mean ol’ witchie’s birdie!” Ashton turned to his friend and nodded his head firmly even as his cheeks remained beat red. He knew that Markus was correct but could he at least wait and let Ashton decide what his Pokemon should do?? Sheesh! “I got it I got it!” Ashton blabbered back loudly, before turning back and pointing at Harpie. “Tackle dat birdie!” Jacob gulped when Caitlin stated that Gligarman wouldn’t hide away. She was right, but what could he do? Sure, they were in kindergarten! They were all grown up since their preschool days.

He needed to learn to think and act like a grown up, which meant that he couldn’t hide away from everything that scared him. But how was he supposed to stand up to a literal witch? “Yeah…bu-but I’m not…” Then Ashton reached into the bush and placed a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “You got dis, Jacob!” This gave the little guy the courage and spirit to leap bravely of the bush even as his knees buckled underneath his body. “We won’t let you win!” Harpie sped down and pinned the small pink dog to the ground as she literally ‘pecked the daylights’ out of her opponent. What? Her trainer said to! Why are you booing?! Can’t please no one, I swear! Puppy swung back and slammed his small paws into the bird, knocking her off of him. Then, he rammed his head into the Spearow’s side, sending them both tumbling through the wild grasses.

[attr="class","rexmanmethod"] Word Count: [attr="class","rexmanmethod2"] #### [attr="class","rexmanmethod3"] Time: [attr="class","rexmanmethod2"] Day [attr="class","rexmanroleplay"] With every battle turn that passed, the little boy trio melted further and further. Now, the two background boys were trying to tell Ashton how to battle. In her mind, the little guy had been doing pretty well so far. Sure, he was getting really unlucky with the metronome attack, but considering how thrilling that move is, he could have gotten something really good out of it. Harpie must have hit the pink dog in just the right spot because the Snubbull seemed to be much weaker, however he was strong enough to push her off and then tackle her. The two combatants rolled through the grass, sending feathers and flower pollen everywhere. With a little bit of effort, Harpie managed to disentangle from her opponent and flapped back, only for a red beam of light to pull her back into her poke ball. ”Substituting! Azzie, use a scratch attack!” Caitlin commanded. Standing at her side, the fire type was ready for battle as he ran onto the field. Holding his hands up, the claws popped from their sheaths before lighting up with energy. Giving a battle cry, the Charmander dashed forward, before attempting to scratch the puppy Pokemon. Caitlin hoped that he would have enough power to bring the younger Pokemon down. The boys were about to get a little taste of the real world. She refused to hold back and would not let them win this match. Plus, she was getting bored of Harpie just pecking at the Snubbull. Azzie would surely move this battle a little faster.
