Lei jumped startled when Shinya suddenly shouted and she glared at him since she certainly wasn't a scaredycat. Whether he saw her expression or had actually heard what she had said before, he quickly excluded her of his accusation and she was torn between his not so galant praise and that he had noticed her bravery. She looked him over, a mere kid of bad upbringing and dismissed him mentally. "What about showing some of that bravery you claim you have instead of bragging about it?" Lei said without looking at Shinya, "and I don't doubt you have strong pokemon who can handle it, but it still won't solve the challenge of how we keep it fresh for all the time it will take to eat it," she added her thoughts to their discussion. "You're from Alola right? Then you must know how quickly meat goes bad in a temperature like this, a couple of ice types is not going to do it with something as big as this one," she said as a matter of fact. "if it was for a couple of days, then yes, no problem but this could last us weeks, and honestly, I don't want to live right beside its rotting corpse," she wrinkled her nose at the thought. It still left the matter of what to do with the fish right now, and no matter what they decided it would be for the better if they could contain it a bit. "Fire, String Shot, keep it down!" She snapped her order and the scatterbug stared wide eyed at the enourmous target she had in front of her. There was no way she was going to miss it but how should she ever be able to use enough to keep it still? ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/scatterbug.png) | Fire | Shield Dust Used String Shot!

Nate couldn't help but to roll his eyes as he listened to the exchange between the other trainers over how they would keep the wild Pokemon fresh enough to last them until they got rescued. The thing that concerned him more was whether they would be able to defeat the Magikarp or not, since the battle had only just started, and it was far from being anywhere over. "I guess he is all talk and no action." Nate mumbled to himself more than to the other trainers. He did have to wonder what other Pokemon that the trainers had since it would help to know that information. "If Levi doesn't do good in this battle, then I could swap to Mimosa, but I don't want the others to see her though so who would be the better option to use instead of her?" Nate thought as he looked over at Shinya. "If you have strong Pokemon who could defeat the wild Magikarp then why don't you send one out? Or are you just acting all tough because you feel like it?" He stuck his hands into his sleeves as he wondered what the trainer would do. "Levi use Confusion." He ordered hoping that it would cause a status on the wild Pokemon to make the battle easier for the rest of them. Levi holds his hands to his side forming a purple ball of energy between his hands. 'Take this!' He thrusts his hands forward holding the palm of his hands connected at the bottom, firing a purple blast of energy from them at the wild Pokemon. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/ralts.png) | Levi | Synchronize Used Confusion!

Since he was in the heat of battle, it took a moment for Shinya to notice that someone was talking to him. But once he did, he glanced at Lei, listened to her words, then simply shrugged his shoulders. "Tch. Catch it, eat it, freeze it, use it for chum, or bury it in the ground. I dug a bunch of holes on this island already anyway. Honestly, I don't care what we do with this thing. I'm just so damn bored." The Team Skull grunt admitted in a nonchalant tone of voice, putting both of his hands behind his head as he did. At the end of the day, all Shinya really wanted was someone or something to keep him entertained. And battling a giant fish Pokemon was definitely a good source of entertainment. The Bug type trainer also heard the question that Nate threw his way, taking a few seconds to think up an answer before shrugging his shoulders once more. "Meh. It's just a Magikarp. Giant or not, I don't really feel like it's worth my best shot. Besides, I gotta let the newbies have some fun and gain some experience too, don't I? Wouldn't ya say, Joltik?" Shinya looked down at his Attaching Pokemon, who excitedly jumped up and down on the sand, very eager to deal her first blow against the beached Water type. "Jol! Jol! Jol! Tik! Tik! Joltik!" Still grinning, Shinya was more than happy to grant her wish, as he called for first attack. "Heck yeah! Now, let's make sure this behemoth can't get away! Use Electroweb and aim for its fins!" The Bug/Electric type happily carried out Shinya's orders, quickly crawling up the side of Magikarp's body, spinning the biggest electrified web she could, and wrapping it tightly around the Fish Pokemon's side fin, giving it a good shock in the process. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/joltik.png)

Fear and terror swirled in the young trainers mind clinching his eyes shout. He was trying to push out the events of the past, all attempts seemingly fruitless as a single tear rolled down the young trainers face. The events of that day flowed like water from a ragging river. His father telling him not to go toward the edge of the river, the Gyrados that had risen up firing a hyperbeam, and his father who. "Nooo!" Senchi screamed out while making a fist clinching it tight. A shadow of fear and pain of his past caused his memories and dreams to be shrouded in darkness. Opening his eyes caused sweat to drip from his forehead. The beached fish wasn't trying to attack theme it was scared and almost helpless on the sand. The sight of the creature flopping helpless on the beach sparked another memory. One that clawed it's way toward the surface of his consciousness. It was the last day he got got to see his father alive and last conversation. Senchi had asked his father why he had jumped in front of the gyrados. Hoshi would look up on Senchi's face with a smile speaking his words before passing away. "Son. Sometimes you have to put your life on the line for the ones you love and care for. Bravery isn't about the lack of fear, but the ability to stand up and do what's right in the face of fear." A look of determination fell over the young trainers face as he steeped forward. It was time he did what was right despite not being afraid or not. It was true his legs we're shaking and every part of him was screaming run. Despite the fear this time he was going to take action. The way he was before it was useless to him and to the other trainers. Managing to make his way over toward the other trainers Senchi took his place on the impending battle filled. Looking over at the three that were exchanging words back and fourth. Deciding to throw his two cents in as well. "Look I don't know any of your names, but the lady is right. We can't keep this thing as food, it's way to big and plus it's probably scared out of its mind. We need to get it back in the water I believe. Oh by the way I'm Senchi." He said looking around. Even his voice was shakey from his overwhelmed emotions . Either way what was done was done. Ok Toph listen I'm sorry for not having the bravery to stand up in this situation but that's changed now. Continue your roll out! Lighten up on the impact let's try and push this thing back toward the waters edge and not hurt it ok." Toph Spun around on the beach as she heard her trainers words. It was about time he maned up. Either way she would do what her trainer asked even though she was more excited about the challenge of the fight. Although it did make her a little sad due to the fact she was looking forward to a sushi dinner. "Sandshrew ? Sand. Sand!" ("Really were not going to eat it huh ? Yeah yeah I'll do what you ask. Here I come fishy !") ----- ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/sandshrew.png) | Toph | Sand Veil| Rollout

Penelope was a little startled. So the idea to slice the Giant Magikarp was because this trainer was bored? As if that wasn't enough, she heard a young trainer named Senchi screaming. It seemed like the Magikarp was giving him some trauma, but he recovered and agreed with the other trainer to NOT slice up the Magikarp for food. "Even if we include our own Pokemon and all the survivors, can we eat them fast enough?" She pondered the logistics out loud, but math wasn't her strong suite. "If the Magikarp did evolve, would it change your mind about pushing it back into the ocean or slicing it?" She asked another question. Not that the taste of Magikarp and Gyarados should differ. "Well, I hope the Magikarp didn't hear you talking about slicing it up. I'll try to be on the Magikarp's good side, so if it does evolve maybe it will spare me." She pouted. "Zuroy, let's use Tail Whip again! Try slapping it when it's bouncing in the air maybe we can push it back a little without the sand!"![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/azumarill.png) | Zuroy | Huge Power Used Tail Whip!

To be honest, Aphrodite did not take too kindly to the bug-type specialist attempting to talk down on everyone in the group outside of Lei. Normally, she would have returned the attitude, but she was more so worried about the younger male trainer, who appeared to be extremely anxious about the sight of the massive carp flopping around on the beach. "Hi... I know that we haven't properly meet each other before, but I'm Aphrodite. Don't pay too much attention to that guy over there, he seems to be somewhat of a jerk. I believe that you're a brave guy and I'm confident that you'll be able to pull it together. I'm going to be right here by your side until you feel like you're ready to help us out," she added with a gentle smile. She would then lean over to give Senchi a warm and tight embrace for a few seconds until she felt his body starting to relax a bit more. She was not sure if her words were comforting enough to muster his inner strength or if he had managed to give himself a small pep talk of his on to boost up his confidence. Either way, the young male seem to have become even more determined than before. Aphrodite smiled and nodded her head at Senchi as she also returned back to the rather large group of trainers. "At this point, let's just focus on weakening or burning out its energy a lot more then we'll figure out what to do with it next," she suggested. She would then glanced over at Meli, who have been waited patiently for her trainer's next command. "Meli use Silver Wind once more!" ![](https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemon/743.png) | Meli | Shield Dust Used Silver Wind!

A.. Giant magikarp? This was less exciting the the lugia, but Olivia enjoyed the challenge. She smiled a bit, as she spoke-"Azula.. Use Gust!" She commanded. After all the Magikarp couldn't do much accept splash and tackle, so she should be fine. She also was worried about her friend Allison who recently came to Johto, but had no time to worry as she was stuck on this island for a good while longer. She'd tell her all baout it once she got back. Azula is Using Gust on the Magikarp! Shadowwing , please use the template provided in the info post.

Just like before, Shinya heard the complaints and concerns of the other trainers and was unable to resist the urge to offer up a retort in his own blunt manner. "I don't give a damn how scared this oversized seafood plater is! If it really wants to get back into the ocean, then it should get angry about it! And give us a real fight!" The Team Skull grunt responded to Senchi's statements first, deliberately trying to rile up the giant Fish Pokemon. Which lead him to his answer to Penelope's question. "Not one bit! In fact, I hope this big guy evolves into Gyarados! Then maybe this fight will actually get interestin'!" The thought of getting to battle a giant Gyarados made Shinya's grin get even bigger, as he turned to face the huge Water type once again, kicking a single stone right into the leviathan's lip as hard as he could. "Ya hear me, ya stupid fish?! Ya better fight like ya mean it or you're gonna be my dinner!" The Bug type trainer yelled up at the wild Magikarp, as Joltik got thrown off of its giant body, but was able to shrug it off. "Jol! Jol! Jol! Tik! Tik! Tik!" The Bug/Electric type agreed with her trainer 100%, ready to deal out as much damage as possible, whether her giant opponent fought back seriously or not. Clearly, Shinya had influenced her quite a bit from the moment she hatched from her egg just a few short months ago. "That's my girl! Hit 'em hard, Joltik! In fact, let's give your new move a try! Energy Ball!" The Bug type trainer called for Joltik's newest and strongest move, hoping to cause Magikarp some major damage, and maybe lower its special defense at the same time. "Joltik! Jol...TIK!" The Attaching Pokemon concentrated her power, built up as much as she could, then fired it all right at the beached behemoth. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/joltik.png)

Lei frowned, it didn't look like any of her plans were going like she wanted them to and it was rather hard to stick with just one when the others in the group disagreed so wildly with each other about what would be the best cause if action here. She glanced at Shinya, while she agreed with some of what he said, she wasn't stupid enough to air her thoughts loudly, especially when it was clear it was outnumbered and she needed to be included in this group as long as they were stuck here. Besides, he was a part of that troublemaking group back home and not something she wanted to be associated with. "The whiskers has been pretty good," Lei commented to Penelope when she asked for their opinion about the huge fish's potential evolution and what to do then. "Let's take that if it happens," she added and smiled to Aphrodite who had arrived. "Sounds like that is what we're doing at the moment anyway," he said with a wry smile, keeping to herself what she thought about what they should do with the fish. She had been persuaded and had already expressed her opinion on the matter, as she saw it no one had come with a solution to how to keep the fish fresh for the long time it would take to eat it, and unless someone had a brilliant idea, she rather just get it out of sight. Fire's sticky strings hang uselessly off the magikarp and Lei grimaced, she would either need to stand around and wait for hours or call all her scatterbugs out to deal with it. "Better just attack it then," she mumbled and recalled her scatterbug and let out a colorful voltorb in her place. ![](https://s18.postimg.cc/ass7d6de1/xmasvoltorbfront.png) | Voltorb | Static Used Switched in!

Looking over at Aphrodite the young trainer gave a smile toward the female trainer as his face turned red. He wasn't use to effection from the opposite gender. Straightening his poster and brushing the dirt from his clothes he tried to reply but his voice cracked in an nervous gitter. "It's a pleasure to... meet.. you.. I'm.. Se.. Senchi.. Kinjo.. Fighting to get those words out he would turn his focus back to the battle at hand looking over at Toph who had scored another successful roll out attack on the creature. Perhaps the female trainer was right. It was probably best to focus on weakening the giant fish. His confidence returned the moment Senchi refocused on the battle at hand. Pokemon was one thing but females was a foreign business for the young trainer. Making a tight fist as he heard the words of Shinya. This trainer had to be crazy wanting it to evolve. Did he not realize the danger that would cause for all that we're involved or even the damage. Not to mention all of them we're way under powered to deal with that type of monster. "Hey You! I don't know your name but do you have a screw lose ? Have you ever seen the raw power of one of those things ? I have ! Let me tell you it's not pretty. My father pas.. Before he could finish out his words the sand collapsed underneath the trainer as he fell in to one of the sand traps dug Shinya and his pokemon. Even though Senchi would have no idea of how or who dug it. A loud thud let out as Senchi laid in the hole looking up in a deep sigh as sand fell all around him. "Hey! What the! What's all this about? ! Who!? How!? What!? Continuing to ramble on as Tesshu emerged from his PokeBall. The bug type was a joker him self and couldn't help but fall over in laughter at his trainer after realizing he wasn't hurt. "Wurmp! Wurmple. Wurmp! (Hahahaha! You look so pathetic laying there. Let me help you.") As the worm type started to spray a string shot on his trainer laughing till it started gasping for air. Toph moved toward the hole looking down at her trainer with abit of concern. "Sand ! Sandshrew! Sand. Sand? (" Hey boss what are you doing down there ? This isn't any time for a nap in the sand. Want me to keep attacking. You good boss?") " Toph don't worry about me! Just keep helping out the others and continue your role out attack. Push that thing back in the water. As for you Tesshu! Got back in the PokeBall or at least help me out here! Saying as the young trainer felt his anger boil. ~~~ ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/sandshrew.png) | Toph |L.V. 11|Ability: Sand Veil / Attack: Roll Out

"Well, uh... If it does evolve I hope it doesn't hyper beam in your direction," Penelope replied, disappointed that she couldn't convince this aggressive trainer. On the other hand, she could focus on her idea and see what she could do on her end. "Zuroy, go for another Tail Whip!" She hollered and cheered for her Pokemon, who was trying her best to whip and to push that flopping fish back into the ocean still. It was hard to coordinate when it splashes so randomly. "Just splash this way, please?" The duo type pleaded with the Magikarp as she pushed and also whipped her tail's floating ball at the fish. "Hm, Gyarados whiskers. So even with Magikarp evolved, nobody can cut that scale," she replied to Lei, pondering, and then replied to her switched Pokemon. "That's a flashy looking Voltorb!"When she heard a sudden sound of another trainer falling into the sand, she turned and saw a Wurmple already helping the trainer with the string shot. "Here, let me help you!" Penelope ran over and held onto the Wurmple, as her Diggersby giggled while pulling onto the string. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/azumarill.png) | Zuroy | Huge Power Used Tail Whip!

Nate rolled his eyes as he was starting to get annoyed with Shinya's attitude, since he was acting all tough like he could take on the giant Magikarp with his team. But so far all he was using was what appeared to be a weak dual bug and electric type Pokemon. "Or we should try to use our own Pokemon to try to help the wild Pokemon get back into the ocean as then it would save us the hassle of having to defeat us." He raised an eyebrow slightly as he listened to how the bug type trainer wanted the wild Pokemon to evolve. "Let me guess if it does evolve into a Gyarados then you would swap out your Pokemon because it is too weak to handle it?" Nate looked at Shinya as he wondered how he would respond to his question. He looked away when he noticed a strange round Pokemon. "What's that?" Nate pulled out his pokedex and scanned the fully red Pokemon and scanned it and saw that it was just a Voltorb. "That's a strange Voltorb. I have never seen one like that." He mumbled to himself. 'I could take it on in a battle.' Luck said as he slammed her body into the side of Nate's head. "Sorry about that Luck." He turned back to the wild giant Magikarp. "I need to focus on the battle and not what new and strange new Pokemon the others are sending out." Nate let out a slight sigh of frustration since he was interested in where he could get one of those Voltorbs, but this wasn't the time or place to be looking into that. "Levi use Double Team."Levi's body glowed multicoloured before creating two more copies of himself. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/ralts.png) | Levi | Synchronize Used Double Team!

Lei glanced at Senchi when he stammered but didn't paid it much attention since so many of the others had also expressed worry and fear for the giant magikarp. She jumped when he suddenly began shouting and sent Shinya a short glance and then took a few pointedly steps away from him. Nope, she was certainly not going to be on his side in this, even if she agreed there were nothing really to be scared about when they had handled several legendary pokemon. She got distracted when Penelope talked about Hyper Beams and she looked at the magikarp wtih anrrowed eyes. "I have never heard of a gyarados who'd be able to do that right away when evolving. It takes years of training or a TM," she decided feeling rather save, "doesn't mean it doesn't have any other devastating attacks, but I doubt it will ever be on the same level as a lugia."A big size didn't always equal strength and after having battled Lugia a couple of times she could hardly be afraid of a gyrados, and definitely not of a magikarp no matter how big it was. Hadn't she encountered the other beasts earlier, she would have been a lot more cautions for this one. "Jep," Lei said with a proud smile to the comments on her special voltorb, and strolled over looking curious at the hole Senchi had fallen into, "impressive, you need help?" Lei asked, mostly Penelope since she had already offered to pull Senchi out of the hole. If they did need help she would do what was needed. "Hey Nate, if you want to get it into the water, you might want your ralts to do something else than copying itself! They are just illusions and can't push after all!" She called to Nate good humoredly. The woman stopped in her tracks when the magikarp did a mighty jump and more or less disappeared into the sky, her mouth fell agape. Then she sprung into action, "CLEAR THE BEACH! CLEAR THE BEACH!" She shouted, "we don't know where it lands!" Lei herself ran inlands as she kept looking up in the fear it was going to fall on her. Voltorb's eyes followed the magikarp and he calmly began to collect electricity, if it dared to come back down again, it would make sure it would regret it. ![](https://s18.postimg.cc/ass7d6de1/xmasvoltorbfront.png) | Voltorb | Static Used Charge!
