Palm Beach: Selenia's Psyduck Encounter!

[Caramell 🍬]

Wild Krabby [Level 9] and Wild Psyduck [Level 14] appeared!
Encountered here
Fog will be in effect!

[Tiki]

When the fog rolled in, Penelope's smile turned sour, as she wasn't expecting this kind of weather in this beach. Everything became covered in fog and difficult to tell apart. Penelope's Pokemon moved their way back to be next to her, as they're not a fan of the fog reducing their vision.

However, her own Pokemon weren't the only one approaching her. A small Krabby and a Psyduck also came up to them. Penelope wasn't surprised to see the Krabby, as they seemed to be common around here. "I hope you don't mind if I go first. This one should be easy." Penelope smiled again, thinking Narctar would cleaned up this one nicely.

"Narctar, use Bullet Seed on the Krabby!" she quickly called out her order. Her grass type went forward the face the foes, and got ready for another round of Bullet Seed. The gun didn't need much reloading for this one.

OOC:
sorry short post

"I don't mind at all. Does this place usually get this thick of fog? I always pictured islands like this with sunny skies or the occasional storm."

Selenia barely sees the two Pokemon who are confronting them and sees who Penelope is referring to. The krabby isn't too much interest to her but the psyduck is Misty, the Cerulean gym leader, has one. From the stories she heard, Misty's psyduck is a headache to handle. It also helps that psyduck has some useful psychic moves. Selenia has seen some of the psychic focused coordinators use psyduck in their contests with dazzling effects.

"Since you went for the krabby, I'll happily take the psyduck. One of the gym leaders, who I admire in Kanto, has a psyduck"

Selenia looks at her three fliers and wonders who would be the best. Beaker still needs a bit of more experience and so she decides to go with the pidgey.

"Okay, Beaker, time to see what you can do against this psyduck. Let me see a strong gust attack against the psyduck."

Beaker is pleased to be selected against this opponent. She starts flapping her wings strongly slowly creating a breeze which strengthens into a strong force of wind directed at the psyduck.

(OOC: Beaker uses gust against the psyduck.)

The two brave souls wouldn’t give up their home so easily, even with a dense fog permeating the atmosphere around them. Who were they even facing? Could they make out the forms of the Pokemon that Selenia and Penelope had tossed against them? Krabby placed its large pincer over its eyes and squinted through the dense fog as it barely made out the tall silhouette of a plant and the strange silhouette of a bird when Beaker flapped her wings and lifted herself up into the air. “I think it’s a plant.” Krabby muttered to Psyduck, who rubbed its head in confusion. “A what? Plants don’t fight back!” At least, on this secluded beach in the middle of who knows where, the Psyduck had never met a plant that fought back.

Though, when Narctar fired his seeds from his toothy mouth and slammed into Krabby, knocking the shelled crustacean backwards across the ground with a powerful blast, Psyduck jumped up in alarm. What in the world was going on?! It screamed and quacked, running around in large circles until it was just close enough to get a better glimpse of Narctar. It was a plant with eyes! EYES! PLANTS COULD FIGHT BACK! CALL THE EXCORSIST! Psyduck immediately built a powerful blast of water inside of its beak and shot Narctar in the face with as much power and force as it could muster, even if the attack didn’t do a whole lot to the other Pokemon. “Mr. Monster Plant, don’t eat me!” Psyduck screamed at the top of its lungs.

Beaker swooped in close and whipped up strong winds that only stirred the fog around more, causing the atmosphere to become harder to navigate and see through. The powerful winds spiraled wildly across the ground and slammed into the yellow duck’s side, lifting Psyduck off the ground temporarily to send it flying backwards by a few feet. Was this bird…could this bird….be a witchy bird? A witchy witch’s bird?! Psyduck had to wonder how the plant managed to grow eyes of its own and fight back so easily. It's never seen any of the palm trees or bushes around its sandy home have eyes and definitely saw them fire their own seeds at Pokemon before! It was living in the End of Times for sure!

SP32 Narctar used Bullet Seed on Krabby!

SP16 Krabby fainted!

[Tiki]

Narctar chuckled at the Krabby, "Oooh yeah, I am a plant." Then, he proceeded to fire his Bullet Seed. The Krabby was soon down for the count, and the last one remaining was the Psyduck. The fellow Pidgey was doing quite well against the Psyduck too, but the lack of type advantage moves meant that the Psyduck would still be kicking around, and being prepared for Halloween.

"Hey, I am not a monster!" The duo type responded immediately, offended by being called a monster.

Penelope finally interrupted the Pokemon talking amongst themselves. Thankfully, she don't like, fully understand them. "Good job, Narctar! Now go for a Sleep Powder! Try your best! It's a little foggy out here, so watch carefully before using the Sleep Powder."


"I don't know if you want to catch this one too, but I hope it helps!" Penelope turned to Selenia.

Indeed, she was right. Narctar winced his eyes to try to narrow down the Psyduck looking figure, before shooting a spore of sleepy dust that would make Aurora from Sleeping Beauty jealous.

"It sounds like you're stressed and you need some sleep," the Bellsprout spoke to the enemy before launching his spores.

[Tarlar]

"Of course not Mr. Monsterplant!" The psyduck gasped to the bellsprout's protest, it was not going to argue with a monster like him. Who had ever heard of a plant which could walk?! A tree with eyes! It was unheard off and just unnatural, where had its partner gone to? It would have been nice not having to face them on its own but it was impossible to see where the krabby had disappeared to in the fog. It shivered as it realized its friend my had been knocked out completely and it was all on its own against these two strange creatures.
It flapped and quacked fearfully, "what has the world become?! Walking plants with eyes and bewitched wingulls who look like sand! The world is breaking down and we're all doomed! Doomed I say!" it jumped from one foot to the other and didn't look in Narctar's direction when it heard what he said but it made it pause and look into the nothingness.
"Sleep? Yes, perhaps this is just a bad dream which I need to wake up from," it chuckled nervously and added gravely, "a very bad dream! A living nightmare! But I can wake up, that is possible, of course I can do that."
It tried to hit its own head with a wing and when it failed to wake it up it began to run around and try find things to whack its head again to wake itself up.

The running around in the fog was disorientating and whether Narctar's move hit or not, he'd never know. Penelope and her bellsprout would stop the hunting of the psyduck with their new friend when they realized it was way too quiet. They were all alone and had somehow lost the others in the fog with no idea where they had went.

Narctar gets 452 exp! (1150/1951)
He also gains +1 Happiness! (+12)

(ooc: splitting this encounter as per request. Since krabby has been knocked out I'll just end that part here, Anton are free to continue this whenever you want. Whether the last move from Narctar counts for the continued battle for the psyduck, is currently being discussed and I'll return and edit this when I have an answer ^^)

Selenia watches as her partner trainer took care of his Pokemon target. He almost makes it look so easy. Instead of knocking out her Pokemon, Selenia has all intentions of capturing this one. She debates about using another attack or try a Pokeball. After a few moments of looking at Beaker, she turns her attention to the balls she has on her. The selection isn't much but that is expected with it still being fairly early in her traveling. Once she is done examining her selection, she grabs a great ball and gives it a toss at the yellow duck Pokemon.

"Alright, I hope this ball works on this psyduck. Beaker, be prepared if the ball fails."

The pidgey looks back at Selenia and then the psyduck. Beaker watches as the ball is tossed at the opponent. Both Selenia and Beaker watches at the catch attempt.

[Tarlar]

The psyduck had done all it could to hide from the scary plant and the brown bird seemed like a much safer option. It was a bird itself after all, although they used their wings quite differently, or rather used them similarly but in different places.
The fog turned out to be a great help for the scared duck as Narctar and Penelope lost track of it and it managed to stay silent as their voices got lower as they moved away.

It was relieved that the other human and her pokemon didn't call out to the others and called them back, and it stepped a bit closer and sent them a grin.
"Thanks, that was just too scary! I'd never imagined a thing like that ever existed!" It exclaimed to Beaker and looked thoughtful at the fog which drifted around them, "I wonder if it was a trick pulled by the fog?" It looked questioningly at the pidgey, it had seemed so real but now it was out of sight it did wonder if it hadn't been real.
As it turned its head it was met by the great ball and it squawked surprised as it bopped into it and engulfed it in red light. The ball rolled to one side, and then the other.. and then rolled again, it almost looked like it was about to open, but then it flashed and dinged with the confirmed capture.

Score! Beaker won against a much stronger battle and grows +3 levels to [Lv 12]!
