Creating Illusions [Bike]

[Caramell 🍬]

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day Life had already become a complicated web of mystery for the young trainer before he had managed to truly get his feet wet. Although Zaiden was relatively new to the scene, he’d already found himself hounded after Rocket grunts in the vain attempts to steal something that belonged to another from the beige boy’s hands. Though Zaiden managed to thwart the grunt’s best efforts, Zaiden couldn’t help but to steal occasional glances over his shoulders in case one of them stalked after the teenager through the long, arduous footholds towards Azalea Town. He’d made a promise to himself to help his parents save their home, so Zaiden felt he needed to get himself back up on that horse and gallop off into the greater unknown to face his own destiny. It was nice to see the wintry world in such a quiet sort of suspense. Some wild Pokemon with shaggy cream-colored fur that nearly blended in with the snow that covered the branches swung from tree to tree. Strange looking furry canines growled with barred fangs, before flushing their thick tails in between their legs and running off through the thick wilderness of the surrounding route. Strange rabbits with pointy looking fur that bristled when you neared would squeak out in terror with widened eyes and immediately duck into long, underground tunnels. The bright sunlight filtered between altostratus clouds, though its strength seemed diminished in the freezing cold temperatures of the wintry landscape. Zaiden pushed his way through the unbelievably short route to the Pokecenter and switched his team around once more, before returning back to the open route. Some of his team members were more than prepared to face their next opponent – a planned attack that Zaiden knew he would have to face off with so that he could continue on his quest to save his family’s home. Though quite a few would need to be worked with to perfect their own techniques and to help them grow stronger. Zaiden pulled out a special Pokeball and gulped as he stared down at it while his beastly anxiety thrashed around inside of his chest and caused him to feel a bit of panic boiling underneath his skin. Would she allow the young trainer to make amends given their last exchange? Or would she simply refuse him once more, finding her trainer to still be too weak to handle her at her best? Fear kept his fingers at bay. As they rubbed the top of the red-and-white ball’s dome and Zaiden blinked profusely and tried to summon the courage he needed to meet with his partner once more. Why did he have such a hard time confronting this matter? Why couldn’t he manage the sort of sure and confident persona that his dad always had? No matter what struggles they faced in life, Darrell never allowed Zaiden to know just how much financial ruin they were in. It took losing his closest friend – his father’s Charizard – for it to truly sink in. That singular knowledge welled up in the pit of Zaiden’s chest and caused him choke on his own breath. How could he spend such a long time missing all the signs of his parents’ struggles when he lived underneath the same roof? The chilling wind nipped at Zaiden’s fingers and caused him to shiver as he finally clicked the button on Koagu’s ball and called her forth with ease. The shape that formed from the blast of bright red light was anything but friendly. She turned around with her burning tail tip thrashing this way and that as she searched all around her. “Where are we?” She blinked a few times and took in the snowfall that floated gently from the wispy clouds above to the forested floor beneath her clawed feet. “Well…have you learned how to guide us? Or are we just throwing blind darts into the wind without your help?” She stared up into Zaiden’s eyes with a strong, determined look and Zaiden stared back at her with a weak smile. “I promise, girl…I’m working on me. Trust me, I will become the trainer you need me to be.” He whispered softly to her as he reached out and gently stroked her scaly head. OOC: Looking for an encounter!

The drab weather was not the most appealing for most Pokemon on Route 33 but for one particular Mankey it was a bit too cold to just want to stand around. As it saw Zaiden and Kogasu it approached hoping to challenge the pair to a battle to warm up a little bit and maybe grow a bit stronger in the process.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day Zaiden couldn’t tell what his flame-tailed lizard was thinking inside of her head. As the two locked eyes with each other, the fierce passion that raged inside of her chest sparkled in the bright whites of her eyes. A small smile slipped across the beige boy’s lips, and he flared his nostrils, taking in the sickly sweet aroma of the trees and grass around him. It was a faint sent, like flowers not yet in bloom though their buds were just starting to push through their thick foliage and make their presence known. “We need a leader on this team.” The lizard cried, flaring her nostrils with a wild emotion as she scratched the thick scales on her chest with her claws. Before Zaiden could respond once more, something rustled through the thick overgrowth of the forested and hilly region. He paused, turning slowly towards a large wild rose shrub whose barren branches sported only tiny red dots along their stark brown branches. A gentle layer of snowy frost clung to the plant as though it were stubbornly fighting off the oncoming spring times that lingered around the corner. Something strange and shaggy lurked through the wild rose shrub, moving carefully and cautiously through its prickly domain. As Zaiden squinted to try and see what it might be, the wild beast lunged out with a loud roar. It would jump up high, flying through the chilly air whose cold fingers snapped against your back like an invisible whip, and land just in front of Kogasu and Zaiden. It’s eyes narrowed suspiciously on the two before the wild pig-monkey tossed its head back and roared once more. Long arms swung up erratically and pounded on its small chest while it hollered. A challenge had been issued, and one that this strange beast would see through to the end regardless if the lad wanted the fight or not. Kogasu growled underneath her breath, tilting her head a bit so that she only focused on this wild monkey, and took a daring step forward. An answer to it call. But Zaiden placed a single hand on her shoulder and shook his head firmly. “Let’s give another a chance.” Simple words that caused Kogasu to slowly back away. “You’ve come to challenge us? Then you better be prepared for the fight of your life!” Kogasu exclaimed boldly to Mankey. The wild pig-monkey laughed, digging in the ground and grabbing clumps of grass, snow, and sand in the process. Zaiden pulled another Pokeball free and tossed it up into the air with the click of a button. Mankey tossed the snowy dirt mixture at Kogasu with a wild laugh, though it ended up striking Sai in the process. “Of course I’ve come to whip your team to bits! You all look so weak and helpless! You don’t belong here!” He retorted with a smug look. Kogasu huffed angrily as she gritted her teeth, though the newly called rhinoceros raced across the snowy ground with her sharp horn pointed directly at the small Mankey. “UGH! I’LL SHOW YOU WHOSE A WEAKLING YOU LITTLE VERMIN! HOW DARE YOU THROW STUFF AT ME FOR NO REASON!” Sai snapped. Zaiden cupped his hands around his mouth in alarm as he watched his Pokemon taking off immediately after the small Mankey. “Sai, hold up!” He called out to her, though it was to no avail. Nothing anyone said would stop her enraged rampage as she relied solely on her emotions to carry her through. “Sai!” The teenager snapped a bit more deliberately. “SAI! C’mon now. SAI!” Kogasu’s eyes blinked from the wild rhinoceros to Zaiden and her lips curved in a strange smirk as she watched her trainer struggle. If he wanted to prove himself, then this was the perfect test. “SAI! You need to use Bulldoze! FOCUS, SAI!” Zaiden informed. OOC: Calling out Sai who uses Bulldoze, then using Great Ball.

The mankey was ready and grabbed Sai by the horn and pulled her out of balance, making her crash and slide over the ground. It jumped from one foot to another while trying to provoke her. Sai stomped her feet furiously as she got back up, shaking he soil loose beneath the mankey who also lost its balance.
Zaiden's pokeball stopped the battle after that.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day The wild rhinoceros was lost to her emotions as she rushed blindly at her opponent. All she knew was that she wanted to make him pay. How dare this strange Pokemon seem so insistent that they were weaklings! What right did it have to try to throw things at them as though they were inferior to the Mankey?! She would crush the pig-monkey with her sharp horn, aiming to pierce it in the chest with the sharpest part of her armored body! What she didn’t expect was Mankey leaping up nimbly on the tips of his feet and using his hands to grip her horn. She bellowed with such a loud, ear splitting sound that Zaiden had to immediately press his hands to his ears to block it out. “Focus Sai!” The anxious young teenager insisted once more. He bit his lower lip with his teeth nervously as he watched the two tangle through the snowy landscape as they fought for dominance over each other. Kogasu huffed in annoyance as she watched the two duking it out in silence and awaited to see what strategy her trainer would use. Was he just going to blindly shout and offer little support on the sidelines? Would he crumble in the wake of this arduous battle and with such a strong willed Pokemon? She didn’t have a lot of faith in Zaiden though she cared a lot for her trainer. She needed someone capable of leading them to victory no matter what the odds, for Kogasu assumed there could come a day when their lives depended on it. How could he handle such a day like that, if he was struggling with such a simple day as this? “Looks like your opponent is giving you a run for your money.” Kogasu smiled and half chuckled as she pointed it out. Sai reared up on her hind legs for a split second, only to come crashing down with her full weight on the ground underneath her. Her feet caused deep shock waves that surged and shook the ground underneath Mankey. Even Kogasu felt some of those shocks, which caused her to stumble a bit as she fought to maintain her footing. Zaiden gasped, shaken as the ground rumbled underfoot, and gulped anxiously. Sai was strong and powerful, there was no doubt about that. She seemed to disregard her own strength and the repercussions it had for others around her, which meant that Zaiden needed to keep that in mind in the future and possibly build more distance between them with her strongest moves. But man, was that move ground breaking! “Good work.” He cheered. “Shut up fire breath!” Sai snapped, spinning around to face her Charmeleon partner angrily. She tilted her head so that her horn lined up with Kogasu and she kicked her foot against the snowy ground while gritting her teeth. If the flame-tailed red lizard didn’t want to leave her alone then she would make her leave her alone! She would pummel her way through anyone or anything that tried to challenge or belittle her with ease! Kogasu growled as flames licked their way dangerously around her lips. “Easy there, horned rodent.” Kogasu warned with a deep growl. “We shouldn’t be fighting but I won’t let you hurt me or anyone else on our team so easily.” Mankey laughed, pointing at the two as it hopped about from foot to foot. “You two can’t even get along?! That’s what I mean by weakling!” As the wild monkey prepared to rush at Sai from behind, hoping to take her by surprise, Zaiden tossed a large blue ball through the air that gobbled it up in an instance. When the ball dinged with success, Zaiden smiled and walked over to collect the ball. “Sai, knock it off.” He snapped, walking a bit closer to Sai, who turned to her trainer and stared angrily though she made no move to advance on him. “We’re a team.” He warned her. “If you can’t work with your teammates, I’ll have to recall you.” He continued, pulling out Sai’s Pokeball to illustrate his warning physically.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day Zaiden had his hands full with his irrational rhinoceros who wanted to plow through everything around her. She was something else entirely and it didn’t take the young lad long to understand why this species of Pokemon wasn’t recommended for beginner trainers. While the mousy brown hair trainer was aware of the species being known to charge at things that startled them, he couldn’t be sure if his was acting particularly aggressive or not. How would he be able to handle such a heavily armored Pokemon if it ever decided to turn and charge in his direction? How could he create a more cohesive team if he didn’t reel in the reigns when they acted out of sorts? Sai paused in front of Zaiden in response to his call. She’d never considered the difference of being inside of the ball verses being outside of the ball. Though the armored rhinoceros was happy to experience time outside in the open landscape, the strange area and noises spooked her as well. Inside her Pokeball was nice because she didn’t have to worry about the mysteries around her. “She started the disagreement we were having…” The armored Pokemon growled softly while pawing at the ground under her foot. This caused Zaiden to smile softly. He walked over and gently patted Sai on the head, though the beige teenager moved slowly to ensure that his Pokemon could follow his gestures and not be spooked by him. “It’s alright, Sai. I understand. Things can be a lot to deal with sometimes. You’re still pretty new to the team.” Zaiden then turned to Kogasu with a firm scowl. “What’s wrong? Maybe I called her a name but I wasn’t lying.” She tried to defend herself as soon as her trainer approached. Didn’t he see how Sai was the one trying to start the altercation between them? Shouldn’t he focus on reprimanding her, instead?! “Kogasu, I expect better of you than this.” Zaiden spoke softly yet firmly. His words were sincere and serious, as he had hoped that his oldest partner would be the most reasonable and sensible on his team. Perhaps he had simply expected too much? “You need to rise above this and be the bigger Pokemon, ok? Sai is new. You should know I won’t let anything hurt you.” Zaiden insisted with a soft, gentle smile. He petted Kogasu softly and soothingly, hoping it could help calm her down. When the strange new Pokemon appeared, they all immediately spun around to see the female spiked rabbit come crawling out through the trees. She seemed friendly and even wore a large smile as she nodded her small head in their directions. “You won’t hurt me, right?” The Nidoran called out in a friendly tone as she cautiously approached them, keeping a safe distance at first. “Not if you don’t mean us any harm.” Kogasu promised. She raised one of her clawed hands up and waved the other Pokemon closer with a bright smile. Zaiden smiled and tossed a Pokeball up into the air, calling his starving artist from her slumbering home. As soon as Yuki’s feet touched the ground, she blinked several times and panted heavily. The sun was simply too bright for her! Was this weather with its gentle breeze supposed to be inviting? It was unbearable! And why was there this strange fog that made it so hard to see a thing through it all?! “What’s going on?” She asked in a soft, meek voice. “I’m looking for friends to play with.” Nidoran explained to the new arrival. Yuki smiled and stomped on the ground, attempting to create small cracks carefully so that she could hopefully shape a diamond underneath the other Pokemon’s feet. “I could be that, I think! Do you like art?” She asked curiously. OOC: Sending out Yuki and using Bulldoze. Then tossing Great Ball at Nidoran. If battle ends please use multiplier on Robin.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day The beige teenager watched his furry brown piglet wrestle around in the tall grass with the poisonous blue rabbit. They seemed like such odds as the two squabbled over incoherent nonsense with one another. Yuki continued to shake the ground, creating large lines that curved in odd patterns until a unique diamond was cut into the earth. In the center of the diamond sat the perfect shape and design of a moon stone – a tool used upon the rabbit’s evolutionary pathways of its evolved forms. The strange pointy rabbit growled underneath her breath and grumbled as she straightened herself up and tried to remain strong and sturdy underneath the shaking ground. “Cut it out, please!” She pleaded with Yuki, whose pink snout sniffed endlessly at the grass and debris. “I can’t…OAF! I can’t balance…with all this shaking!” Large, sharp quills were shaken from her fur and soared through the air in every single direction. Zaiden immediately hopped behind a tree as a few cruised through the air in his direction and just barely missed them by a split second’s decision. He slowly and very carefully peeked around the edge of the tree with a loud gulp as he watched Yuki screaming out in pain. She squirmed and shook herself vigorously to try and loosen the quills that had sunk into her hide. A few poked and prodded her against her left side, though one particular quill stuck out just underneath her right eye in the topmost part of her cheek. Why was her future friend attacking her?! “I’m only trying to show you how pretty my artwork can be!” Yuki insisted with a loud bellow from her chest. “The diamond represents the strength of your species. You don’t crack under pressure you’re molded by it instead. The moon stone in the center shows the unlimited capabilities that you have, and how you’re not limited by this first form!” Didn’t this strange Nidoran understand what she was trying to do? It didn’t seem like it. The Nidoran reared up and shook its head firmly, though as the Great Ball soared through the air and sucked the Pokemon inside, it wouldn’t have the chance to respond. Sai trotted up to the starving artist and sat down beside Yuki with a loud, exasperated huff. Good riddance! “Don’t worry about that girl.” Sai snorted, turning her head away to stare off into the distance. “If they can’t see your skills, who needs ‘em. Right?” She growled with a side-eyed glance I Kogasu’s direction. “Listen, pal.” Kogasu growled through clenched jaws and balled fists. The flame-tailed red lizard walked over to her companions with slow, deliberate steps. Zaiden carefully crawled out from behind the tree and flexed his hand towards the Pokeballs on his hips. Were they about to cause a scene out on this short route? A few travelers who were pushing their way past them paused with wide eyes and turned to watch Zaiden’s Pokemon with their phones held out in their hands. Were they going to be infamous on Tinkatok? He hoped not! “If what I said earlier offended you…” Kogasu breathed slowly, carefully, and calmed her own nerves as she approached Sai. Sai bristled, pointing her horn at Kogasu menacingly. “Then, I’m sorry. Ok? I’ll be more thoughtful for now on.” Sai growled and kicked absentmindedly at the ground. The apology was needed but her own pride made it hard to accept so readily. Why should she just allow Kogasu to get away with this so easily with nothing more than fancy words to make up for it? “You better.” The gruff response was jagged around its edges, meant to pierce Kogasu through her ears as Sai spoke them. Kogasu narrowed her eyes and lashed her long tail at her sides as she awaited Sai’s next move. But the large armored Pokemon didn’t move. She sat still, slowly relaxed, and sighed instead. “Especially if we’re a team.” To which, Kogasu nodded and sat down near them both. “That we are.” She agreed. “Which is why we should all act like one.” Kogasu added thoughtfully.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day The young teenager watched his Pokemon working out their differences anxiously. When the worst of their tantrums subsided, the crowd that paused around the edge of his team slowly moved on. Some snapped quick pictures of the long lines that Yuki created in the ground and many more recorded it while voicing how beautiful the artwork had been. Though, as long as they left Zaiden out of the equation and did not bother him with questions, inundating him down further and making his anxieties worse, he couldn’t care less. “We’ll work together guys…hmm…” Zaiden thought for a second and smiled as he pulled out the Pokeballs for the other Pokemon on his team, calling them forth. While busy introducing the other members of the team to the group, another familiar looking Pokemon scaled through the treetops and hopped out of the nearby short, forested tree lines onto the ground in front of Zaiden’s team. It’s short ears flicked in annoyance as its sharp eyes narrowed in on Sai and Kogasu. They’d ruined the day that Mankey was having as it worked hard to gather food for the coming winter ahead. Some of Mankey’s friends had urged it not to forage for the future winter months since Spring had only just begun. What no one seemed to realize was that Spring never lasted as long as they wanted it to. If Spring would be over before they knew it, then so would Summer within the blink of an eye. Before you knew it, you were halfway through with Autumn and staring into the eyes of Winter itself, which smothered out all life around it with its harsh snowstorms. “Could you keep your squabbling to yourself?!” The wild primate screamed while pounding its chest with its hands balled into tight fists. It snorted while flaring its nostrils and stared them down. Sai raised herself up onto her four limbs and pawed at the rough terrain and tall grasses underfoot. If this strange Pokemon wanted to pick a fight then she would easily give it exactly that! “Yeah, and?” She demanded to know as she walked straight up to Mankey pushing her face dangerously close to the primate. Mankey’s eyes narrowed down on the armored ungulate and raised its hands up into the air, flexing them while it prepared to swipe at its ‘enemy’. “If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll show you!” Mankey warned Sai while growling loudly. “Sai, step away please and let Yuki handle this.” Zaiden called from the sidelines while biting his lower lip. Another Mankey? Were they always aggressive Pokemon? And if so, what should he expect of the one he had caught not so long ago? It seemed as though some of his newer Pokemon he collected along the way required skilled knowledge to properly train, Sai included. The rhinoceros snorted, turning away and moving to the sidelines while keeping a firm eye on the wild pig monkey. “If you pull anything funny, I’ll easily wipe the ground with you.” Sai snapped, rushing headlong into a nearby tree to take out her pent up aggression on instead. Yuki blinked nervously and glanced over to her trainer with wide eyes that were mostly hidden behind her long, shaggy fur. Why was she being called out in the midst of this battle? The wild Mankey was probably just trying to live a simple life and they were unknowingly making it harder on the poor thing. “I’m not fighting an innocent creature.” She stated firmly, shooting out large spears from her fur with a quick shake of her body. She laid down on the ground, crossing her short legs over each other and placing her head on top of them firmly. “How do we know we’re not the ones causing it unjustified anguish?” It asked Zaiden, who dodged the spears that soared in his direction.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day Zaiden wasn’t sure what was getting into his furry piglet. Yuki was such a strange Pokemon whenever she called her out into battle that he wondered if she had a hard time focusing on what he needed her to do. The spears that she released from her body crashed against a nearby tree in an odd pattern and managed to carve a very crude image of a small heart in its center. Yuki walked over to the strange tree and snorted as she sniffed the rough bark and stared up at her handiwork. “Hey, team?” She called out to her partners behind her and gestured towards the tree in front of her. Sai lifted her head up but barely turned it in Yuki’s direction after the battle ended, not at all as entertained by the artwork she was creating. [“Do you think this is good? I’m not sure…I think I could have done better…” Kogasu stood up and stretched her limbs as she walked over to Yuki’s side and stared up at the tree curiously. She wasn’t as aware of what a heart symbol was, though she’d seen it a few times in photos and on the sides of buildings or on papers. When she was just a starter in Professor Elm’s lab waiting for a trainer to finally take her with them, one of the assistants she knew would draw that strange little shape over the same strange letters on any of her reports. “What is it supposed to be?” Yuki tilted her head and blinked. It was a good questions for a Pokemon who was equally as unfamiliar in human symbols and meaning. “I’m…not sure. Maybe a leaf? It’s bad…I knew it…” Yuki fired more spears at the tree, marring her own work as she cried loudly. A mental pain and anguish seized her heart, causing Yuki to turn away from her work as she detested it so much she never wanted to see a day in her life again. Sai stood up and snorted as she eyed Yuki suspiciously. Was this strange Ice Type trying to pick a fight within her own team? Though most of her attacks were used to scar the trunk of the large oak tree she’d already attacked once before…Sai wasn’t willing to take her eyes off Yuki, though, as she distrusted her own teammate and assumed that Yuki had other plans. Zaiden crawled out from behind the tree and immediately walked over to kneel down by her Pokemon. He gently petted her and sighed softly. “It’s ok, Yuki. Are you hurt? I didn’t see the Mankey attack you but we can take you to the Pokecenter to be sure.” Denki raced around them as his lightning-shaped mane lit up with electricity. He would eventually come crashing to a stop just before Yuki, with his face stuffed into the grassy ground and his rear end comically splayed in the air. After a bit of struggling and laughing at himself, Denki would eventually right himself once more. “Hey hey, don’t worry. I’m still going to have you perform in my show! Picture it! Me, center stage, against a mighty and impossibly tough Mewtwo! And you, my faithful companion, supplying me with all the aid I need on the sidelines!” Zaiden smiled and reached out to gently pet Denki as well. “It’s…going to be ok…” He promised his Pokemon. Though Yuki only turned away and shook her head as it didn’t seem like anyone truly understood. How could they? They didn’t just create the world’s worst art piece and have to destroy it themselves.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day Denki blinked as Zaiden seemed to brush him to the side to comfort Yuki. Even though he was doing basically the same thing, the headstrong stallion couldn’t stand being upstaged by such a small creature. He butted his spiked mane against the side of Zaiden’s arm. The beige teenager stared wide-eyed at his electric Zebra, who pawed at the ground near Zaiden’s foot and pushed against the young lad to get his attention. “What is wrong with you, Denki?” The young trainer asked aloud, more to himself than to his actual Pokemon. Denki’s eyes widened with disbelief at Zaiden’s question. He snorted defiantly and tossed his head up high as he spun around and kicked at the ground to knock clumped of grass-bundled dirt in Zaiden’s direction. “What’s wrong with me?!” Denki neighed at the top of his lips. “What’s wrong with YOU! You have an actual star right before your very eyes and you give more attention to an extra?! She may be part of our team, but she’s still an extra all the same!” The stallion stomped one of his hooves into the ground and dug a small indent in the earth. He refused to turn back in Zaiden’s direction, even as the teenage lad reached out and gently patted his striped zebra along Denki’s back. Zaiden bit his lower lip and furrowed his brows together worriedly. “You’re upset…” Zaiden stated the obvious. “Because…” He grasped at straws for the reasoning. “…were you jealous of the attention Yuki was getting?” Denki’s widened eyes seemed as though they would fall out of his head. He immediately turned back around and reared up on his hind legs. Denki kicked his front legs dangerously in the air in front of Zaiden, causing Kogasu to rush in front of her trainer and spit large flames at the stubborn stallion. “Me? Jealous?! Of an extra?! Never!” Denki bellowed in a loud neigh that was almost a screech. “You’d better watch your hooves, pretty boy!” Kogasu snapped firmly. When the first embers slapped Denki in his face, he immediately landed on all fours. He lowered his head, though, to stare Kogasu firmly in the eyes. “And you’d better what your flames, reject!” Denki snapped angrily. Meanwhile, Yuki snorted happily as she spent time chatting with the wild Meditite after immediately walking away from the hostile scene. She curled up close to the wild Pokemon and closed her eyes tightly. “I’m visualizing… I’m visualizing… I see…” The Meditite clapped its hands expectantly together and nodded its head feverishly. “Yes, yes!” It cried, like a mother watching her child standing up and walking for the first time in its life. “Tell me, what do you see? Describe it in detail! Only when you truly visualize it can you recreate the masterpiece!” Meditite urged Yuki. Zaiden gasped when he turned his head to see Yuki laying on the ground with a Meditite standing over her. How did he let this happen under his watch?! “Sai, quick! Save Yuki before its too late. Use Bulldoze, please!” The teenager urged, gripping his short dishwasher blonde hair with his fingertips. Was it already too late?! He couldn’t be sure, though it looked as though Yuki were already wounded from Meditite’s possible attack. Sai raised up on her four limbs and raced across the ground after the strange looking Pokemon. When she neared, she’d rear up only to come crashing down on the ground with her sturdy feet. “I won’t let you hurt my friend!” She roared angrily. “But you have it all wrong!” Meditite tried to persuade her, pleading its case loudly.
