The pride of the park, the bug every bug catcher sought after had decided that the old sheep was a worthy opponent, or worthy of seeing it at least. It stepped out proudly from behind a tree which several competitors had checked and found empty already, its purple hide really stood out among all the greens and its huge pinsers shone in the sun.

Scyther rushed through the wild grasses, alerting the other wild bugs that crawled through their bright green blades. Many of them would shudder or cower in fear. Some crawled away in a hurry, burying themselves inside of the dirt or scaling over the tall fountain’s sides to hurry off past the gate into the wilderness beyond the National Park. One bug stood like a beacon amongst the rest, proud and determined to face any foe and send them spiraling back the way they originated from. The Pinsir clasped its large, spiky horns together and spun around as Scyther swooped just past it, to see the opponent that had scared such a powerful mantis off in such a hurry.

Uba stood like the ultimate obstacle in his path. The way her powerful hind limbs lifted her up against all logic or reason to stand as a bipedal species who could walk and move on just two legs. The way her wool left most of her body starkly barren save for the scuff of her neck. The way the long streaks of bright yellow electricity zapped from the tip of her tail, whose tip ended in a semi-transparent blue ‘glass’ ball where electricity generated and stored for her inevitable attacks. Pinsir was impressively four feet in total height whilst Uba stood at barely two feet. She was everything Pinsir looked for in an opponent. A stark opposite in comparison to the small children trampling around with their bumbling Bulbasaur or skittish Pidgey.

Pinsir rushed after its opponent screaming at the top of its lungs as it released its powerful battle cry. A warrior to the end. The bright pink sheep spun around quickly on her nimble hooves, pumped her arms at her sides, and narrowed her eyes suspiciously down on the newest challenger to meet her rather stupidly where she stood. She just wanted to return back to the open pastures that Professor Elm allowed her to wander aimlessly around. She didn’t have the time in her day to deal with these young whippersnappers who thought that they were all that and a bag of chips, and who rudely never respected their elders like they ought to. “I’ve come to challenge you, oh great warrior! I’ve heard of your tales and shall prove I am better!” Pinsir huffed and demanded. Uba growled, shaking her head firmly and snapping her hooves as she shook her head.

“Why should I fight you?! I’ve lived a long and full life and seen my fair share of fights. Far more than you’ve seen in your short life!” She gestured towards the old battle scars that lined her thin skin that was riddled with wrinkles due to her advanced age. “Quite frankly, I’m not here to prove myself like you. I’m not that young and dumb sheep I might have been in my prime. But if you don’t leave me alone, then I’ll have to put you in your place like all the others!” Uba would fire off a powerful jolt of thunderous waves meant to cripple the bug and keep it from advancing on her. She’d wait patiently after that, hoping it would find its mark and paralyze her foe where Pinsir stood. Then, if the wild bug wouldn’t leave her be after her first attack, the ornery elderly sheep would launch a high powered bolt of lightning meant to char her opponent a bit should it also find its mark on the wild bug. Zaiden only stood and admired the wild Pinsir, having never seen one with such a unique coloration, and wandered if it would be better to capture for the event than his Combee.

OOC: Uba uses Thunder Wave. THEN uses Thunder Shock.

SP35 Uba used Thunder Shock!
SP31 Shiny Pinsir used Bind! Its a critical hit!


The pinsir jumped out of the way of the first weak electric wave which Uba sent at it, then hardened its exoskeleton in preparation for a long battle. It was more build for a prolonged battle than a quick one.
It rushed forward and got zapped but it didn't stop it, it reached the old sheep and clamped down on her with its huge pincers.


(ooc: running shoes exhausted)

[Caramell 🍬]

The battle wages on but it didn’t work out exactly as the pink sheep had planned. She watched the large purple bug nimbly jump out of the way of her electrifying waves and snorted. They weren’t always a perfect hit, but it was the manner in which the large stag beetle moved that annoyed her the most. They were still young. Their bones didn’t ache in the morning simply for waking up. She was sure they had never woken up from a deep sleep only to have half of their body feeling stiff and sore all day long from sleeping in the wrong position. And yet they stood here, finding her a worthy opponent simply because she had lived a long time and had many battles in her life to prove her own worth. What arrogance!

“That was a nice attempt, but you were a bit slow on your approach.” Pinsir stated with a large smirk as it turned its head to follow the last trails of Uba’s thunderous waves. It sizzled in the air and dissipated as the electricity stretched out and bounced through the tall green grasses. Uba snorted, stomping her powerful hooved feet into the dirt of the earth buried between the tall blades of grass. “There was a risk. I calculated that much. But it doesn’t mean you’ve won so soon.” She bleated loudly, kicking her hooved foot against the ground to send sand spiraling behind her where she dug. “I would hope not! Then you wouldn’t be a worthwhile opponent!” Pinsir laughed back.

Zaiden gulped and studied his Flaaffy through concerned eyes. She was scarred beyond the old ones that littered her body. The fresh scars were numerous and while many were small and thin, the larger ones that seemed to doll most of the pain against her skin concerned him the most. How could he help his powerful sheep in the midst of this fight? Should he hold the hope that he could capture it with one perfectly timed toss, or would it be better to let Uba finish it off to ensure that she didn’t suffer should it overpower the inferior capsules and break free from too many of them? He could pull out a small potion or two and spray her down generously to help prolong the battle, as well, but it was hard for the young teenager to tell what the best option was from where he stood.

Pinsir strengthened its exoskeleton to make it harder for Uba to penetrate, though she continued her assault with long ranged high powered electric pulses that managed to take it down a peg. When the large stag beetle scooped her up inside of its strong horns and squeezed, though, the pink sheep bleated loudly in pain. The sharp points on Pinsir’s horns dug into Uba’s soft flesh, causing small tears were bright crimson liquid pooled up around the wild Pokemon’s horns. In desperation, Uba immediately fired off several more electrifying pulses wherever she could, hoping to manage a few good strikes on the wild Pinsir given their close proximity.

Zaiden immediately pulled out a spare Sport Ball and clicked the button in the center. “Hold on Uba…!” His voice shook as he shouted. Zaiden tossed the ball through the air and slapped his hands against his face as he watched it soar through the air towards the large stag beetle. Would they manage to capture it? Would it stay inside of the device? He needed to give Uba the chance to escape Pinsir’s sharp grasp, so that hopefully its sharp horns wouldn’t cause too much damage against her skin.

OOC: Using Thunder Wave then tossing a Sport Ball. Also, shouldn't Pinsir be marked with +1 Def even though it might not matter with Uba? If battle ends please use bar on Uba.

Now in physical contact it was nigh impossible to miss giving the large bug a good static charge. The wave of electrical energy coursed through them and left the pinsir with a seizure of energy gumming up its muscles. Though, similarly Pinsir had good leverage on Uba and gave him a good bash with a swing of its namesake. All the while those barbed mandibles squished through the soft protective layer of statically charged fur of the sheep pokemon. Being sucked into a sports ball in quick fashion provided a moment of respite, but only a moment as the sparkling insect cracked the device open and resumed its hold. Pinsir hissed as it pumped itself up for further battle.

[Caramell 🍬]

The inferior Sport Ball broke almost as instantly as it had sucked the wild Pinsir up. Zaiden grumbled underneath his breath and clenched his jaws with a hardened stare. It wasn’t like he hadn’t been down this road before. The rodeo of his past Pinsir proved to the young teenager how tough and ornery these wild stag beetles could be. Had he used five whole balls on the last Pinsir he’d previously captured in the past Bug Catching Contest? It felt like it had been hundreds, given the strength he needed to stay focused in the midst of the fight and the anxieties he’d faced at that time. Even now, his heart sputtered in its beat, though the anxiety he felt now was wrapped in concern for his pink sheep.

Uba bleated loudly as pain shot through every fiber of her body. She was aching! Aching from the effort to sustain herself in the heat of the battle as the joints in her elbows pounded with pain that felt as though they were alive with fire underneath her skin. She struggled while kicking and slapping at Pinsir with her sharp white hooves in vain attempts to break free from its hold. “I…won’t…give in…” She promised herself more than anyone else. She couldn’t give in now. Both because her opponent had her so securely held by the scruff of her neck where the thick white wool grew and because her own stubbornness wouldn’t allow her to let the opponent win when she was convinced it was just a rude young whippersnapper.

“Hang in there…ah…” Zaiden mumbled underneath his breath and turned to his bag in a hurry to find one of his magical elixirs. He needed a powerful medicine that could help heal most of the wounds that scarred her soft pink skin, where welts formed and small droplets of blood slipped between tears in her flesh. As soon as the young teenager’s golden brown hands touched the smooth edge of plastic, Zaiden would snatch it up in his hands and yank it out of his bag with a ravenous hunger. Zaiden’s hands clung onto the small red bottle with its large orange top and walked as close as he could comfortably get. He would wait while the two struggled, and spray her down whenever the opportunity presented itself, though a few times Zaiden would have to hastily retreat to avoid the wild Pokemon attacking him as well.

“Thank you, trainer!” Uba bleated loudly as the medicine slapped her delicate flesh where it could reach her and helped heal over the worst of her wounds. It might now turn her back to completely new health, but it would get her close. Zaiden pulled out a small Sport Ball and flinched as he watched the two trapped in the heat of the moment. The large electric bolts that zapped through her dense white wool was worrisome. Zaiden understood Uba’s desire to simply knock this opponent out and move on with scarcely another thought. However, this was truly a rare and unique Pinsir unlike any he’d ever seen or heard of before. Zaiden wanted to capture this one as his prize, even if it would cost him the bumbling bee he originally captured.

When the moment proved to be right, Zaiden would take aim with the Sports Ball. He’d press the center button on the device so that it would open up and shoot out a large red beam of light from its center. Then, he would toss another one at the paralyzed bug and cross his fingers with a silent prayer to Arceus that he might be successful this time.

OOC: Using Super Potion then using Sport Ball. Self-Updating will have 7 left.

Just like that?

Zaiden walked over to the small sports ball that laid silent in the tall green grasses and scooped it up inside of his rich golden brown hands. It was cold to the touch, like most electronic items when they weren’t being tampered with to cause them to overheat. The smooth capsule felt unreal to the young teen in the moment as he hadn’t expected his efforts to be so easily rewarded, even if he had set the deck of cards up in his favor for this particular battle. Was that the end of the saga when it came to this strange shiny bug, then? Would there be no more scuffles in the midst of the field where bug and sheep needed to determine who was the better of the two?

He just…couldn’t believe it.

How?

He turned to the other ball that held his bright blue bumbling bee and quickly released it with the click of a button. There wasn’t a need to try and sneak off with them both in the heat of the bug catch contest. Too many sentries for the National Park scoured through the tall grasses, disqualifying trainers left and right for such trivial pursuits. While his heart ached to carry both newly caught bugs with him, Zaiden knew that he wouldn’t so much as make it past the front door before the beefy security descended upon him like vultures upon a freshly laid carcass.

The Combee appeared in the blink of an eye and spun around in the air with a bit of confusion. It had once been locked in battle with the strange pink sheep, before being teleported off to some strange land where it could bury its face in the prettiest flowers it could imagine and suck of all the sweet nectar they had to offer. It turned to Zaiden and buzzed loudly as if asking the lad what was going on. Zaiden only raised one hand and waved at the small bug to wave it off, then watched it fly away as a single tear streaked down the size of his face. It simply wasn’t meant to be. Even if it was Zaiden’s choice in this matter, it was the heart of it in the end.

Uba pressed to his side and tilted her head up towards her trainer with an incredulous look. Was her trainer tearing up over releasing a Pokemon back where it came from? It wasn’t like the many trainers she’d seen tossing Pokemon out left and right along the gently sloping hills that ran along Violet City’s wild routes towards nearby cities. There many Pokemon unknown to the ecosystem had been released, and because of their inability to adapt a few would not make it during the harshest seasons that the route had to offer. Some succumbed to other wild Pokemon who preyed upon their lack of experience in the terrain.

Zaiden wiped the tear away from his eye and turned back to the grass as some of the other trainers began to turn and head back towards the tall building where they would eventually announce all of the champions who managed to place somewhere within the finals of the contest. His eyes widened, fearing that time was beginning to run out before he would have to return with the rest as well. Quickly, Zaiden raced off through the grass, zigzagging in different directions, as he tried to scare out a few more bugs before his time would end. Uba simply shook her head and sighed heavily as she chased after her trainer. “Please let this be the last one we face.” She muttered underneath her voice.

OOC: Last encounter please.

Zaiden's running around sent shockwaves down into the ground, and while he chased off several butterfrees, which clearly was everywhere this time around, it was not what he managed to officially encounter. A grubbin was getting quite annoyed with all the shaking up of its home and it emerged to get him to stop!


Shiny: VrMd8x2A1-42

(ooc: did you want to learn Electro Ball or not? ^^ )1-42

[Caramell 🍬]

Zaiden stopped in his tracks as the tall grasses as purple butterflies stretched their large wings open and took to the skies. Their wings were white as snow save for the strikingly black tips along their edges. Each bug had two large light blue feet tucked up close to their abdomen and two tiny light blue hands that they clutched tentatively together. They stared at the world through large compound red eyes and tilted their heads in different directions as they surveyed their surroundings. The tawny golden teenager darted after each unsuccessfully, pointing and blabbering to his wrinkled sheep to zap them with her mighty bolts of electricity.

The bolts had transformed into an all new attack unbeknownst to the teenager. Zaiden watched with widened rich chocolate eyes as the pink ewe charged a large round ball of electrical energy at the tip of her tail and fired off at the flock of Butterfree, who each easily fluttered just out of the way. They sped through the air on their large wings in a fright, screaming in loud chatters about the dangerous mammal and its trainer that chased after them. Uba huffed, exhausted, as each attack would fly through the air within inches of the wild bugs yet missing each and every target just as easily. Was her eyes beginning to fail her now in her advanced age? No. It couldn’t be!

Zaiden collapsed a few feet away from where he’d originally scared the wild butterflies up out of the fields. He knelt with his hands pressed on his knees and his head bent over so that his eyes stared at the long blades of grass that surrounded them. What happened to all the bugs that were just jumping at them ravenously to face them in battle?! The time was ticking on the event, as more trainers gathered the chosen bug they’d managed to capture and headed towards the large doors to the building. He already had his chosen bug, fully satisfied with his newly captured Pinsir. But he wanted to see if he could at least manage to battle one more and see if there was possibly anything rarer than the ones he’d seen so far.

Just when he was sure that it was a wash, the ground underneath the teenager’s feet began to shake. What in the world was going on?! Zaiden jumped backwards in alarm. He gasped loudly, “Ah!” And searched through the grass in vain trying to see what was hidden underneath the earth. When the small white grub pushed up through the ground, tossing sand and torn up grass in different directions while tapping its reddish-orange mandibles together thoughtfully, he only stared back at it in confusion for only a split second until recognition kicked in. Takibi faced off with one of these in a previous bug catching contest, he remembered! He actually caught Kurisa during that event, though it didn’t place anywhere that time and only netted him a consolation prize.

“Uba use that new attack.” Zaiden instructed, floundering to recall what it might be known as. Uba turned to her trainer and tilted her head in confusion before shaking her head with a low huff. Of course. If she wanted her trainer to be more attentive she might as well hold his hand and show him how. These were the trainers that humans sent out of their nests at such young ages to become champions of their world? Surely, they neglected to understand the importance of a proper education before setting off on such arduous adventures. Uba created another large ball of electrical pulses and aimed at the Grubbin, hoping she would take it out without too much effort.

OOC: Oh yes! Learning Electro Ball and forgetting Thunder Shock. Self-Updating. Also using Electro Ball again Grubbin.
Words: 618

[Tarlar]

The grubbing scolded and cursed and waved its pincers around as it tried to convey to Zaiden that he needed to considerate others around him and adapt his reactions. Its rambling got cut short by the ball of electricity which slammed into the ground right in between Zaiden and the grubbin. The bug got shot away and Zaiden got covered in grass and dirth.

Then time was up and they had to head back.

Uba got (13*50*1,5) 433 exp! (433/1951)
She also gets +1 Happiness! (+5)

Just noting I'm locking my thread without an exrtra rp fluff part haha. Nothing needed confirming here and don't wanna force the muse anymore for this.
