Rock Pool Encounter: Krabby x Poliwag #3 [Leilani & Nate]

[Caramell 🍬]

Wild Krabby [Level 15] & Wild Poliwag [Level 12]
Encountered here
^{Clear weather is in effect.}

[Tarlar]

Lei glanced at Nate, "I'm not saying they are evil, I say they are out of line and dangerous. They need to be taught their place and how things work best, that way we can avoid these situations," she commented, of course pokemon would not do you anything if you left them alone, but how would you catch them then? If pokemon didn't respect to battle the tame pokemon a trainer wouldn't last long in this profession. A human trainer could only be a trainer and control pokemon, if the pokemon had learned to follow the unwritten rules and didn't attack them directly. It was not often a problem mainland, although Lei had had a few times, where she had had to teach a newly caught pokemon the harsh lesson, that it would regret to try attack her directly. It seemed like more pokemon here on these remote islands weren't aware of this fact.

Lei roared from laughter when Nate commented her pokemon must have evolved, "you don't say so?" She teased as she accepted the pokeball from the dewott and recalled him. She then guided Nate to help her over to the rock, which she sat down on heavily and with a lot of groaning.
"I'm going to hate my leg tomorrow, this will be so painful when the muscles are cold and stiff," she complained and then her face darkened, "my sleep is going to be so bad the next couple of nights," she groaned. "Stupid krabby."
She stretched out her sore leg with a painful grimace and look thoughtful as she now could concentrate about answering Nate's question. "As I'm working on challenging Bugsy next, I'll better get some more bugs out into the game," she said with a smirk and then let out both Leafshade and Asynje her heracross to show Nate.
"Looks like your Blasty has already found us something to battle, it's effective," Lei commented please and gestured to her pokemon, "use a Razor Leaf on them Leafshade, I doubt any of us will have any need for them." She shot Nate a questioningly glance to make sure he did agree with her on that.

Leafshade crawled as quickly has he over to join Blasty and the two pokemon he had encountered, they were so fast they had already gotten quite far away from the group again. "A game sounds fun! Can I join?" He called out to them and quickly gave up chasing them, even before he really started. He knew he would never be able to keep up.
"Hey hey! I can't run that fast, I'm tagging you with leaves! Can you dodge?" He shouted after them and took aim, before he shot a few leaves after one and then the other.

Asynje looked around at the pokemon gathered around her and she rubbed her arm a bit nervously and half lifted the other in a greeting. A lot of pokemon she didn't know, and she was kind of left on her own dealing with them all, even if they were supposed to be friendly. Her eyes found the play battle which was about to start, and her eyes shone with eagerness.

"But when they are wild they don't know where the line is that they shouldn't cross or how dangerous it is for us humans. Unless they were previously trained by trainers and then released into the wild for some reason..." Nate rubbed his chin as he thought about it. "...what could explain their hostility to to us if that is indeed the case." There could be many reasons for why the Krabby had attacked Lei but since neither of them could understand Pokemon... as far as he knew... then they wouldn't be able to ask them why they had attacked the female trainer. It would be something for him to think about in the future since he may catch some Pokemon who don't like him and he would have to work to gain its trust and to teach it not to attack him or any other trainers he ends up facing. Maybe the Pokemon that he had caught on this island can be the first step in that?

Nate cocked his head to the side when Lei roared in laughter of his comment. "What do you expect? Your Oshawot is the first one I have seen so I have no idea if it can evolve or what it could evolve into. At least now I know its evolved form." He shrugged slightly since he didn't really mind the teasing since it was a stupid comment to make.
"That is a future problem. You should worry about the today's comments instead." Nate was trying to make the situation more positive and to distract Lei from the pain and negative of the attack on her. "Lets hope that we get rescued sometime soon so that then you can get the proper medical that you need to treat your leg."
He watched concerned as she stretched out her sore leg. "I'm still training to face Falkner so I still have a fair bit of training to do before I even think of challenging him. I just hope that I can evolve this little one before then." Nate pulled out a poke ball and let out Levi.
Levi levitated in the air next to Nate not wanting to touch the dirty ground below him.
"I guess he does have his uses. Normally he is a lazy ass... but I guess since we are surrounded by water he is being more active than he is normally." Nate smirked slightly as he gently shook his head. "Suntaro use Leech Seed on the Krabby. I already have two Poliwag's and a Krabby so I don't need any more." He agreed with Lei statement.

Suntaro bounced forward over to Leafshade. 'We are the ones who are doing all of the battling. But at least it is helping me to get stronger.' He said excitingly since it meant that he could become stronger than the others on his team. Suntaro shot a light-green seed at the Krabby. The seed immediately grow into vines that attempt to latch onto a target and drain them of their energy to restore the Sunkern's energy.

Levi watched Asynje carefully as it looked around at the Pokemon around the two trainers. He gently shook his head as he noticed how it was nervous about the situation. Levi floated over to Asynje and watched the battle. 'So are you strong?' He asked the Heracross wanting to get to know the Pokemon to some degree since they wuld more than likely be training together.

OOC Suntaro used Leech Seed on Krabby

[Caramell 🍬]

The two wild Pokemon roared with laughter as they ran around the area. Even though Blasty didn’t chase them or seem to react to their ‘tagging’ where they had hit the Squirtle on the head with their tail, two other Pokemon appeared instead. The Poliwag stopped as it spun around in midair to see the strange looking bug all swaddled up in leaves and a small seedling with a sprout shooting out from the top of its head. “ARE YOU HERE TO PLAY TAG?” It called out to both Suntaro and Leafshade and waved its tail in their direction. The Krabby rushed over as fast as its thin legs could carry it, kicking bits of sand and small pebbles up in its wake. “Are they going to play with it? That Squirtle must be sound asleep not to react to your tail.” It laughed.

Leafshade’s response made Poliwag’s face light up. It tapped its tail against the rocky shoreline and nodded its head eagerly. “You’re allowed to try to catch us with whatever you can use!” Poliwag declared eagerly. “You’ve got vines? Use them! You’ve got leaves? Use them. See? Watch!” It turned and playfully slapped its friend in the face with a tiny stream of water. Krabby giggled, smacking the ground, and tagged the small tadpole back with a large spray of sand. They seemed to be having quit the fun and wouldn’t mind that their ‘targets’ would change to the Sewaddle and its seedling friend. They’d never seen such interesting Pokemon, but that wouldn’t stop them from having fun! Poliwag powered off a blast of cool water to tap Leafshade on his ‘shoulder’ as Krabby leered at the two opponents playfully. “Come catch me!” Krabby giggled.

Both shot off across the rocky poolside at the top of their feet. The small orange crustacean scuttled up and over larger rocks as it ran. Occasionally, it would dart around them to try and use them like a shield, while glancing around their edges to see if the newfound playmates were hot on their trail. Poliwag simply hopped and jumped virtually all over the place energetically as it ran. Leafshade’s sharp leaves spiraled in the air and slammed into both of the Pokemon, managing to cut them up each decently. “Oh, nice shot!” Krabby called and Poliwag nodded enthusiastically. “Well played!” Poliwag added. Then, Suntaro’s vines shot up from the small seedlings and wrapped Krabby up tightly within their grasp. “Hey…hey…hey! Let me go! I can’t run for you to tag if you wrap me up!” Though, soon enough, Krabby would fall back onto the ground with the vines simply clinging to its body as they drained away its health.

"Exactly, these have clearly not been in contact before and therefore don't know the rule. I should have thought about that, and then we need to teach them so that we avoid dangerous situations," Lei declared and glanced at Nate when he aired the thought that they might have been with trainers before.
"I can't imagine anyone taking the time to go all the way out here to release a pokemon," she said slowly, "and if there are any released pokemon they should already have known not to target a human trainer. If their hostility is because they have been wtih a trainer before, I can only believe they have been shipwrecked like us and only the pokemon survived and made it to the island. Still, then it would have known about us and to not attack a human."
There certainly could be many reasons for why Lei had gotten attacked, but to her the reason was less important since the goal of teaching them to stop it was far more urgent, as long as they stopped putting them at risk she didn't care about why they had done it in the first place.

"I'm sorry," Lei chuckled, "you caught me by surprise." She looked thoughtful for a moment, "although the way he came up from the water was strange," she shook her head. Pokemon did tons of things that made no sense and she found it easiest not trying to figure out what they were doing, it would just give her a headache.
"I doubt it," Lei said dryly and rubbed her leg with a grimace, she hadn't seen anyone looking like a doctor or nurse among the shipwrecked. She turned and looked behind her towards the palms and the lush undergrowth, "you don't happen to be knowledgeable about herbs do you? I'd bet there is something there which could dull the pain somehow."
She glanced at the ralts and saw nothing special about it, "you know its not a grass or a bug type, right? I thought that was what you wanted to challenge Falkner with?" She asked Nate and studied him closely, not seeing what use a ralts then would do.
She nodded to Nate's evaluation of his squirtle, not really have any comment on it. She wouldn't have accepted it if it had been her own pokemon, but Nate seemed content and she doubted he wanted her suggestions of harsh training and firmness to get Blasty to put some energy into what he was doing.
She sat in silence and watched Leafshade send some unimpressive few leaves after the two water types. Again a action which made no sense to her but at least it looked like it was more than enough.

"Time to send in the trainees?" She suggested Nate and cleared her throat to get Asynje's attention and gestured for the heracross to get into the battle. "Leafshade! Come back here!" Lei called as the blue bug type moved forward.

"Yes! If I can use my leaves!" Leafshade answered the poliwag with a smile and glanced at Suntaro, "you better call it playing tag," he whispered to the sunkern, "otherwise they might misunderstand you." He winked to the other grass type before turning his attention back to the two water pokemon. These two didn't seem to have anything he'd want but Lei certainly did, and was in charge of when he was out and had a chance to get more leaves for his clothes.
The sewaddle watched the water pokemon show how they played and ducked his head as the water was blasted at him, then threw the leaves at both at them, "what now? Now you're both it!" He called at them giggling but then Lei called to him.
"I need to leave, sorry, it was fun!" He said and smiled regretfully to Suntaro, "doesn't look I get to do much though."

Asynje rubbed her arm with the other claw at Levi's question, "not yet I'm afraid, but I hope to become at some point. If I'm good enough," she said with a nervous laugh, "you?"
Lei's attempts to get her attention and she looked puzzled at her trainer and her eyes widened when she was gestured forward. "Oh! Oh, I have to try battle now! I hope I'll do good!" She exclaimed and stumbled over the rocks in front of her as she walked forward. "Calm down, calm down, you can do this. Keep your head clear, don't try follow the opponents arms or attacks, focus on them as a whole. Keep your legs apart for good balance, arms out and ready! Listen closely to what you are told to do," she reminded herself as she rushed forward.
"They are playing tags," Leafshade informed as they passed each other and she stumbled to a halt to look at him, "wait, what?" she exclaimed. How was she going to battle if her opponents were just playing a game?

"So they don't know any better then. So we can't really blame them for anything anything that they didn't know about the rules of not attacking the trainers. We never know what will happen unless it had happened to one of us in the past." Nate knew that it was a long shot of them being previously trained Pokemon but there was the chance.
"It was just a thought. It could have happened after a trainer found a stronger version or even a shiny version and just decided to release it on the spot. That could give the Pokemon some resentment to other trainers due to fear of the trainer's Pokemon going through the same experience than them. If they were shipwrecked then their behaviour could be due to their trainer dying and they haven't gotten over it and just taking their anger out on us?"
Nate knew that he would have a lot of work to due with his Krabby but he was pretty confident with his other Pokemon helping him to train the Krabby then he would be able to make it more friendlier than he would possibly be able to do without them.

"What for?" He looked at slightly confused over her chuckled but soon relaxed when she explained it. "No wonder you were chuckling over my comment." Nate watched as she looked at something for a moment. "It is a new evolution so maybe he isn't used to his new form yet?" The new Pokemon was interesting to him since it was a new one that he hadn't seen before and couldn't wait to see if it would evolve again or not.
"I doubt it as well but we never know." Nate looked on concerned when Lei rubbed her leg with pain, but it was a bit strange that he hadn't noticed any medical personal on the cruise since their could have been accidents to the passengers or the cruise staff. So they would more than likely have to wait until the rescue party arrives. "I have no knowledge about medical things for humans, we had medical personal when I was younger. I only know about medical things for Pokemon but I doubt that would be any help when it comes to humans."
He couldn't help but to smirk slightly when he heard her comment about his psychic type Pokemon. "That is true as it isn't a grass or a bug type. But Hopefully I can evolve him into a Gallade what is a part fighting type Pokemon what last time I checked was weak to flying type Pokemon so he would still be at a disadvantage against Falkner." Nate knew that it would be some tough training and some luck as he would have to find the correct evolution stone to use on Levi.
He knew his Squirtle was a lazy ass and it was kind of funny to watch, but he also knew that his water type Pokemon was pretty loyal to his other Pokemon so he didn't mind in the slightest. Since when it got tough for his other Pokemon then Nate would be able to rely on Blasty to get him through the tough spots that his other Pokemon were currently experiencing.
He smiled gently when he noticed the seeds had connected with the Krabby, but he couldn't help but to notice no comment or any sort of reaction from the corner of his eyes from the female trainer.

Nate pulled out his pokedex and pulled up the data on the Krabby that he had caught. "That is going to be a tough battle for Levi since the Krabby I caught knew Metal Claw what would more than likely defeat him with a single attack." He let out a slight sigh when the female trainer followed through. "Suntaro come back here." Nate called out to Suntaro.

'And I could use my little seedlings!' Suntaro called out not really following the conversation that well. 'But how are we playing tag?' He whispered not really sure how it was a game. 'But it is a battle though.' Suntaro was so confused on what was happening since it was totally different from what he thought it was. Suntaro did have to wonder who Nate would send out since it appeared to be that he was training up Mothra and Levi.
He looked on disappointed when the Poliwag fired a stream of at the Sewaddle, he did have to wonder if he would have been able to take the hit as much as the Sewaddle appeared to do. 'Since you have been hit by both of us.' Suntaro called out finally understanding what was happening.
'Yeah it was.' He looked on disappointed when he heard he had also been called back. 'That goes the same for me as well.'

Levi looked at Asynje as it didn't appear that him starting a conversation with the bug type was helping in the slightest. 'That is good as neither am I. I hope I can become a powerhouse for Nate.' He smiled gently.
Levi remained levitating in the air when he heard Lei's attempt to get Asynje's attention to join the battle. 'Good luck and do your best.' He called out encouraging.
"Levi do your best." Nate called out.
Levi moved forward over to Asynje and listened to the bug type pumping itself up. 'All we can do is our best as there is no point in stressing about it. But I do wish that we were at a cleaner battleground as then I wouldn't have to use my own power to keep myself off of the disgusting ground.' He shivered at the thought of touching the filthy ground.
'Levi were you paying attention to the battle?' Luck called out.
'Unlike the rest of you. I can mentally follow everything.' Levi thought to his teammates with a nod of his head.

OOC Suntaro returned
Levi sent out

[Caramell 🍬]

The two Pokemon stopped and looked at each other strange when everyone spoke of a battle. They were both very young and never considered what they were doing to be much of a ‘battle’ anyways. Though, the strange two-legged creatures seemed to call their two friends back and send out two new faces that the small orange crustacean and the bright blue tadpole had never quite seen on their beaches before. "Where are you going?!" Poliwag called out to Suntaro and Leafshade curiously. Krabby giggled as it ran over to levi and slammed its hand on the rocky terrain of the ground beneath it, sending small bits of sand and tiny pebbles flying up into the air. “Are you here to play tag, too?!” It asked excitedly.

Poliwag rushed over and slapped its friend with its tail, puffing its face up angrily before pointing its tail over to Asynje. “That was really rude, Krabby!” It called out. It looked so angry and puffed up it – almost like a little balloon about to burst – that it was a wonder that Poliwag didn’t just float away on the gentle breeze that lulled through the surrounding area. The blue tadpole would then slap Levi with a bit of its water, before spinning away and scuttling off across the rocky ground and up a small incline. “Come try to catch me!” It called back out to the strange white, child-like Pokemon, hoping that Levi would give chase.

Krabby grumbled to itself before hunkering down on the ground and rolling its feet up underneath itself. It didn’t mean to ignore anyone. Quickly spinning around to the large blue bug, Krabby would focus on itself as a clear and brilliant sheen would cast itself over its entire body. It felt stronger and tougher this way and knew that it could handle many more rounds of tag now. “I’m sorry miss…” Krabby grumbled under its breath in a salty voice. “I wasn’t trying to ignore you…truly…” It huffed. Was Asynje bothered, hurt, or upset b Krabby’s lack of attention? Or would she accept its apology in stride? Krabby had to hope that it could salvage its relationship with the other Pokemon just as easily.

"We can teach them the result and not to do it, I'm not blaming anyone I'm thinking about the future and putting things right!" Lei declared, she didn't care for the reason just wanted to stop it in the future. She frowned and then sighed defeated, "but you are right we couldn't have known it would be a problem before it arrived, we better focus on making sure the ones around here knows it, hopefully they can figure out to spread the word."
The woman put her hands behind her resting on the rock and leaned back relaxing, "I don't see why it had to resent a human to attack. It's not like they need to resent another pokemon to attack them, why would they need to have had a bad experience first? It might just been territorial and wanting us all to leave, that is not unheard of."
Lei too was well aware she needed to work hard with the krabby she had caught but the way she planned on doing it probably would be far from how Nate was thinking about it. She resented the krabby she had caught now, and it was going to be taught a lesson.

"Of course not," Lei sighed resigned, if Nate had known about something which had could have helped her he would surely have offered it to her by now. She gaped when she heard what Nate's plans was with his ralts, "hah! You might outspeed and outpower his birds with a fully evolved pokemon but that's a way to do it too!" She said with a laugh, looking impressed. "Any plan on how you'll find a stone to evolve?" She asked curiously.
Lei had no idea that Blasty could have some good sides and was reliable and she probably wouldn't have noticed if he had been her pokemon. She would have forced him to do what she wanted and trained him hard if he showed any signs of being lazy.
"It's good we have plenty of time to train here then, let's see what he can do," the female trainer said as she looked at Levi intently. "Now you have a lot of plans on pokemon which are weak to Falkner's, any idea how you will actually get them to win too?"

A thoughtful not was what Lei gave an answer, "question is if it knows about ralts and that the move is good against it. I wouldn't put my money on that," she said and sent Nate a smirk, "but that's what's fun about battling, the calculated risk."
She turned her attention back to the battle, "Hey! Asynje! Go for the krabby with Megahorn!"

"Haven't you heard about tag battles before? You battle and the one who has been hit the last tries to hit someone else to make them the tag," Leafshade explained as they were heading back to their trainers. "To be honest though, I don't think the humans know that and I mostly said so to keep them happy," the sewaddle admitted.
"I need a rest!" He called over his shoulder back to the poliwag.

She half laughed tensely when Levi tried to calm and encourage her and wondered how Levi was going to be a powerhouse if he didn't even like to get dirty, how was he going to handle battling, bruises and such?
"We can always be better and being our best still needs a lot of work," she answered grimly and then jumped back when the Krabby sent sand and pebbles raining at them, raising an arm to protect herself against the worst of it. It drummed against her carapage.
"It's alright! We're here to play tag!" She quickly reassured and held an arm out to Levi to give a light slap, "give me the tag and I'll see if I can get the focus of the krabby," she offered.
Then she shook her arms to free them of tension, "of course you weren't!" She said cheerfully to the krabby, "are you ready? Now I'm coming for you!" She teased as she crouched and her horn began to glow.

[nategrey]

"We can't guarantee that they will listen to us enough for us to teach them the ways that they should behave. I have heard of a trainer who's Charmander stopped listening to them when it evolved into a Charmeleon and a Swinub who stopped listening to a different trainer when it had evolved into a Piloswine. But who knows what the future will hold." Nate smiled slightly when Lei sighed in defeat over what he had to say. "It just means that next time we will have to be extra careful when we encounter any new Pokmeon."
He raised an eyebrow slightly at what the female trainer had to say next. "I was only offering a suggestion on why it had attack you. It is a long shot since we are so far away from civilization but we never know what the wild Pokemon have gone through in the past. Maybe it would be better for us to leave this area after this battle then." Nate smiled gently at Lei as he wondered if she would accept the option or not.
He wouldn't mind meeting up in the future with the female trainer so that they could have their Krabby's battle each other so that he can see how their training methods were different. It would also give the two Krabby's a chance to meet each other after being apart for a while.

"Maybe I should have paid more attention when I was younger." Nate rubbed the back of his head nervously since if he had watched when he was younger then he would have been able to help Lei now. "Gallade can be a strong Pokemon if you put the effort in training it up properly. So I hope that it would be able to give me an edge over the flying types." He looked at his psychic type Pokemon confident that he would be able to do it. "I have no idea. If I don't find one before I challenge Falkner then I may have to phone up someone for some help who I would rather not talk to if I could help it." Nate let out a sigh as it meant that he would have to phone up his former partner in the ninja clan.
"I haven't had him for very long so it will be interesting to see what he is exactly capable of doing." He raised an eyebrow slightly as he thought about her question of his gym challenge. "Maybe a Stun Spore, Leech Seed combo. Or if Levi learns it then a Hypnosis, Leech Seed combo as it would slowly drain away the flying type's health and healing my team slightly. But it will definitely be a tough battle either way. I will keep Blasty with me as my last Pokemon to use only if all of the other Pokemon have been defeated." Nate nibbled his lower lip not sure if the strategy was as sound as he hoped it would be.

He couldn't help but to shake his head gently as he listened to what the female trainer had to say. "It all depends on if it had previously faced a Ralts in the past." Nate looked at Lei. "It will be risky as I don't want Levi to go down to a single attack."
He looked back at his psychic Pokemon. "Levi lets make it difficult to hit you. Use Double Team."

'The only battles I have done are against a single opponent before we came here. So of course I wouldn't know what the rules are for a tag battle, what ever that is. It just sounds so confusing to me.' Suntaro bounced towards Nate. 'I doubt it as they can't understand us unless Levi is translating for them what we are saying with his mind.'
'Good luck, Levi.' He said to the Ralts.

Levi looked at Asynje confused when it had half laughed at what he had to say. To him it wasn't a laughing matter as he didn't like to get any dirt on his nice smooth white body that he was proud of being so clean despite it being a very light coloured body.
'That is true as I am no where near close to evolving into my next form.' Levi let out a sigh of annoyance. He watched as the Krabby sent sand and pebbles rained at them. Levi used his psychic powers to remove the dirt from his body but he was concerned about what the Krabby had done when they were busy with the sand and pebbles. 'That sounds like a good idea to me as it sounds like Nate wants me to play it defensively.' He hit the Heracross' hand interested to see what it had planned to do.
Levi started to move quickly from side to side creating what appeared to be a double of himself. 'Now lets see if you can find the real me.' They both said at the same time in unison.

OOC Levi used Double Team

[Caramell 🍬]

The blue tadpole stopped in its tracks and hopped over to Sunkern and Leafshade. “Tag is a game where you try to touch the other opponent and they become it! It’s not fighting, like the Pokemon out there do!” It used its long, fan-like tail to point to two large Kingler wrestling each other in the dirt far off in the distance over territory. They were both extremely angry, and it was evident in the way they painfully tossed each other around in the sands. “But you are allowed to attack with whatever you know how to! Like I tag with my water!” Poliwag giggled, spouting a large puff of water up into the air out of its mouth. “And I tend to tag with my Pinschers!” Krabby giggled, rushing over to show off its pinschers by clamping them repeatedly in the air.

Both of them spun around to their new tag partners and waved to Levi and Asynje. Poliwag ran with its tail flap-flapping back and forth behind it, slamming into the dirt from one side to the other. Krabby scuttled across the rocky terrain on its four feet as it rapidly marched towards the other two. Krabby jumped up high before tucking itself back down on the ground and pressing its feet underneath itself to curl up and harden its body. “I better prepare then!” Krabby giggled, before popping back up and running away as fast as its legs could scuttle across the ground. Asynje chased the Krabby, and the two ran in different directions, darting through the rocky pond, over a large, jagged rock, and around the base of a tall pine tree. Asynje would manage to catch the Krabby up in her horns and toss it off in the distance, where it landed and giggled. “Oof! I need to rest, so I guess I’m out! That was loads of fun, though. Poliwag, it’s all up to you to be the best tagger!”

Poliwag laughed and bounced on the tips of its feet as it turned to Levi, who created clones of himself all around the field. Which one was the real Levi? It was so hard to tell! Poliwag tried to slap a few of the clones with its tail, but only found itself to be slapping the false duplicates that Levi had created. “Oh, what’s this? Clever! I need a better plan!” Poliwag laughed. It’s side began spinning around in its skull as long, hypnotic spirals shot from its gaze towards the small Ralts. But the attack would completely miss and instead tag the Krabby who’d left the game entirely and slipped off into a deep sleep in the distance. “Oh…sorry about that! Man, I thought that would work, too!”

[Tarlar]

Lei looked at Nate with a raised eyebrow, "If they don't listen then you teach them physically. They won't understand if you start long complicated sentences, better just show them what you mean and get your pokemon to get the point across." She said dryly but nodded to his airing of disobeying evolved pokemon, "yeah, I have heard about those as well. I'm sorry, but that's because the trainer is not good enough and has lost the respect of their pokemon."
She looked worried down at her leg and sighed again, "I'm not sure if I can walk very far though, I would probably need more time to rest it first though."

Lei sent Nate a questioningly glance, "you were taught healthcare work when you were young?"
She looked at him quizzically when he seemed he wasn't liking the idea to ask for a favor, "I have already offered to you, to help you find or buy other stuff so I can easily extend that to stones. I must warn you though, they will be expensive!" She looked thoughtful "I'm sure you could be lucky to dig one up yourself though, but you'd need to figure out where to search and that would require you to become friendly with someone who has that knowledge in this region."
The older trainer nodded, a tough battle for Nate indeed and that was just Falkner. She wondered how he would deal with the rest on his way as it sounded like a not of them were a lot stronger.
"What about things like your double Team?" She asked and pointed at the several Levi's which was jumping around on the rocks, "or you could try get the opponents to miss you. I would say, while you are planning to bring a team which are weak to Falkner's birds, it wouldn't hurt if you teach them moves which his birds don't like. I'm sure some of the lot can learn a electricity move by a tm or something," she suggested.

A chuckle escaped Lei, "and as I said, I doubt any ralts has set their foot on this island before." She watched as Poliwag managed to sing its own partner to sleep and smirked, "I doubt it will be of any danger. Asynje! Megahorn and get that poliwag too."
She looked pleased, it was good when her pokemon could figure out to execute powerful attacks directly without getting distracted.

Leafshade chuckled but Poliwag was faster to come with an explanation than he was, "you haven't played games before? Only battled?" He asked curiously and poked some dried up seaweed which lay on the rocks beside him to see if it was something he could use.

Asynje rolled her shoulders, "but its preparing you for those battles later on, isn't it?" She asked and little smile played in the corner of her mouth as the krabby's giggling. She liked facing an opponent who was confident and happy about the she realized. Not that it made it any easier as the got surprised by the krabby's quick twist and turns several times before she managed to get her horn below it and throw it into the air.
The krabby's withdrawel left her uncertain and she shifted from one foot to the other, "am I still It then?" She would either get that confirmed by someone else, or she would end up deciding that was probably the result and turned to the poliwag just as Lei gave her the order to attack again.
"I'll have to do without any evolution to help me," Asynje said plainly with a side glance to Levi.
"I need to aim better or be faster though, that was a lot of running for a single throw," she said half to herself and tried to run faster towards the poliwag than she had done before with the krabby.


(ooc: Asynje attempts Mega Horn on Poliwag. Has the leech seed hp been added to Levi? I love how you wrote the missed hypnosis Caramell! )

[nategrey]

Nate let out a slight sigh when Lei raised an eyebrow and spoke about how they should teach the wild Pokemon. "But if you teach them physically on how to listen to you then that will just lead to more violence down the road. I prefer to teach them with love and care, even if it will take a while to do, at least then I know that there wouldn't be worst violence down the road." He looked at his own Pokemon as he would never dare to use violence on them. "That or the Pokemon was over powered and thought that they were to good to be trained by any trainer no matter who it is."
Nate glanced down at Lei's leg. "Take all the time you need. As I don't think we will be leaving the island any time soon." He gently shrugged his shoulders slightly, he did wish that they would be rescued soon since he wanted to continue on his journey.

Nate raised an eyebrow slightly. "I had someone who would do all of the healthcare that me or the others needed. But if I had paid attention to what the person did back then then I would be able to help you now. But I was not interested in it one bit though..." He rubbed the back of his head. "...sorry about that."
Nate nibbled on his lower lip gently as he listened to what Lei had to say. "I know you did and I am grateful for that. But there is always the chance that you aren't any where nearby to me when I need it. So it is best for me to not hold my breath for you to sell me one. Especially when I don't have loads of money."
Blasty walked tugged on Nate's trousers and held up a golden item to him.
Nate picked it up and stuck it into his bag. "Or I could be lucky and I could find a item that I could sell for a high price that might help me in buying the stone." He smiled gently thankful for the new item.
After he had managed to successfully defeated the Falkner then he would have to train up the team to face Bugsy what would be a tough battle no matter what, but at least he had a few Pokemon weak to the bug type already.
"I find Double Team a cheap tactic, it is only useful when you have a weak Pokemon who can't survive a few attacks from the opponent. But it could be interesting and helpful to use against Falkner if he doesn't have any Pokemon that knows moves that cannot miss though." He looked up at the sky as he thought about what other tactics he could use to give him an advantage over the flying type gym. "But if I teach my Pokemon a electric type moves then that would give me an advantage over the gym and not give me much of a challenge. I think it would be better to just try my luck with the moves that my Pokemon can naturally use, if they learn a electric type move on their own then I will use it otherwise I won't use them." He looked back at the female trainer.

Nate smirked slightly. "And a Ralts still hasn't set foot on the island yet." He pointed at his Ralts who was still levitating in the air. His smirk turned into a smile what the Krabby fell asleep due to the Poliwag's attack. "The battle isn't over yet. Levi use Double Team again."
Nate was glad that Levi was surviving the battle so far and hoped that it would end after the next attack.

Suntaro looked on confused at the explanation from the Poliwag and the question from Leafshade. 'I got separated from my original trainer so most of my journey has been with Nate. He is a serious trainer who wants us to be the strongest we can be, but he does have his soft side and lets us do what ever we want to when we are at the camp site. But I have never played tag before though.' He would have to see if the other Pokemon would want to play some games in the future when they have time to relax.

'That is true. Hopefully before long I would be able to do a full battle on my own without any help from any of the others likes Suntaro using Leach Seed or anything.' Levi was worries about the two opponents since there was no way he would be able to defeat either of them on his own and hoped that Asynje would be able to defeat them on her own. He looked on excited when the Krabby retreated and was soon put to sleep by the other opponent.
Levi looked between Krabby and Asynje as he thought about the question. 'Well you did defeat the opponent and the Poliwag hit the Krabby afterwards so I would say that the Poliwag is the one who is currently it and not you.' He hoped that his statement had helped to settle the problem.
'You never know what will happen in the future. They may discover a new evolution for you in the future. I once thought that I could only evolve into Gardevoir as that was what both of my parents were. But then one of my brothers evolved into Gallade.' Levi smiled as he wondered what Nate would evolve him into when the time comes.
'You will get better and faster the more you train as we constantly get better after defeating a opponent.'
Levi started to move quickly from side to side creating what appeared to be two more copies of himself so now there were four copies of Levi on the battlefield.

OOC Levi used Double Team
I don't think the Leach Seed health returned to Levi as his hp is the same from the previous post and the current one as they are both 7
The Nugget I had received from the lottery and I hadn't incorporated it on how he got it hope it was okay for Blasty to just randomly find it and give it to Nate

[Caramell 🍬]

Poliwag stretched its translucent tail around to scratch the space on its body just below its mouth and thoughtfully considered what Leafshade had asked the small tadpole. “Oh no…never battled!” Poliwag giggled, slapping its tail against the rocky terrain underfoot. It hopped up on the top of its tail awkwardly, raising the rest of its body up high in the air. Though, it was evident that its tail wasn’t meant to support its weight. The Poliwag rocked uneasily before collapsing back onto its feet. “My family says I’m too young to fight for my own territory still!” It explained to Leafshade, before turning back to Levi and Asynje with a devious and determined smirk. “But I can show you two that I’m the best tagger!”

The small blue polliwog ran around and spat out thick pockets of water from its mouth at Levi’s many clones. There were so many of them that it had a really difficult time finding the original Levi in the chaotic mess of the dozens of copies that the Ralts created previously, who all wandered around and created the perfect targets. After wiping out at least five of them, the Poliwag would come to a crashing halt, panting heavily with wide eyes. “He’s a great dodger! How do you do this!?” The small blue Pokemon then spun around and ran past Asynje, barely tapping her on her backside. “You’re it! I give up on tagging Levi!” It huffed. How could it manage to touch a Pokemon who would just make a thousand more dummies to hide behind, anyways? What a mess for poor Poliwag to try and figure out!

Asynje spun around and snatched the small polliwog up effortlessly with her horns. She tossed the Poliwag far off across the rocky terrain of the pool’s side, causing the small blue water-type to go bouncing and skidding across the ground with a loud thump! “Oaf!” Poliwag laughed, jumping up and rubbing its worst wounds with its tail. “That hurt…ouch…yeah. You win. I can’t compete with that…oaf!” Poliwag spun around and rushed off to its Krabby friend. It would shake the other Pokemon with its tail, causing the small crustacean to pop its sleepy head up and look around curiously. “They won. We’re going now…” Poliwag explained, to which both of the two Pokemon would immediately shuffle off into the distance…
