Marchbaby could hardly believe his eyes as another Meditite appeared before him. His luck at encountering the rarer Pokemon in the area was quite extraordinary though he was not really looking for any more of their species for the time being. Like before he saw this as a great chance to train one of his Pokemon and he decided to have Blubber handle things this time as Mama tried to dry off the best she could from the ice cold rain. As he looked at the young dragon he laid out his plans hoping Meditite would not catch on and slow up the battle with one of it"s tricks.
" Blubber I think Mama still needs a bit more time to dry off so it is your turn once again. We are going to try a combo move here and hope that both attacks work. Meditite might not be super strong but I know from experience how good they can be at enduring or evading attacks if they sense it coming just a split second before they land." Blubber then slithered forward looking right at at her foe. She was not too afraid of the Meditite but like any smart dragon she did not dare underestimate her foe just in case this one was smarter than usual.
Once she was in range she turned back towards Marchbaby who gave the orders to attack. " Alright Blubber let's try and use Dragonbreath twice on this Meditite, maybe we will get lucky with the first hit but so long as at least one of them hits it should do quite a bit of damage. Who knows depending on what happens I might try and capture it if it puts up enough of a fight as there is always a chance it turns out to be useful in a trade."
As Marchbaby weighed getting out a Ultra Ball or not Blubber started to make her move as she took a deep breath before firing off a strong breath towards the Meditite aimed right for it's face before preparing a second strike. As she did that Marchbaby had finally decided to grab a Ultra Ball out of his bag just in case. He doubted he would need to use it but he would rather be ready than sorry if the Meditite endured the first two strikes. He wanted to end the battle as soon as possible so he could get as much training in as he could before he met up with Kevin again.
OOC: Blubber uses Dragonbreath x2.

It's workout for leg day doesn't end too well because it doesn't even get a chance to hit before it is down for the count! ![](https://urpgstatic.com/img_library/pokemon_sprites/704.png) Blubber gained 750 EXP and increased to 2893/2269 EXP.

As the battle came to an end Marchbaby was glad that the rain had started to let up. What he did not expect was a cool frost to replace it. The chill in the air and frosted grass surrounding him and his Pokemon would have been great for an ice type like Kamikaze but dragons were not usually a fan of the cold and Blubber was no exception. Mama fared even worse however as she could not stick to something warm.and climb like Blubber could do as she crawled up March's leg and chest until she reached the top of his head to stay warm.
Mama did not have to wait too long for help however as Marchbaby recalled the young Trapinch into her Safari Ball so she could avoid the cold until he needed her help again. Until it warmed up Marchbaby decided to train Patrick a bit more as it did not mind the cold too much and could use Recover to restore some strength if the cold got to be too extreme. It also was the weakest member of his team by level so Marchbaby could handle two issues at once until the weather was more favorable.
" This weather just does not like us very much right now does it? The rain was bad but this frost is a bit too risky to use either Mama or Blubber. Patrick I hope you are ready for some training to catch up. I have a feeling this nasty weather will not pass for some time." As he then waited to see what would leap out next Patrick shined it's gem to try and help locate another Pokemon to battle hoping to catch them off guard as it doubted any Pokemon in these parts would.be expecting to see a Starmie.
The frost would not do them many favors in trying to locate anything as any smart Pokemon would be hiding in a tree of underground to try and avoid the cold the best they could. " I sure hope something comes out soon or else we are going to have to find someplace warmer to train for a while. I cannot imagine what wild Pokemon would actually enjoy the cold in this area at all." Just as he was about to give up Patrick seemed to react to something as it shined it's gem towards a nearby tree and started to search along the branches.
OOC: Looking for.another encounter. Cleanse Tag is active ao every wild Pokemon will be level 15.

A shaggy dark grey canine sniffs around the base of the tree. It freezes, then growls angrily raising its hackles when it notices Marchbaby and his team. A Level 15 Poochyena appears! What will Marchbaby and his team do? Shiny? 0jWA5Tb61-42 Technically you qualify for a post gym encounter, but idk how that would affect levels. Probably level 15 or higher then, based on team average? lol 1-42

As the rather angry looking Poochyena growled at Marchbaby and his Pokemon he knew the young dark type was not messing around. Though Poochyena were not as strong as Weavile or Houndoom he was used to he still did not dare to underestimate it as he paused for a moment to consider his options. The weather was not great and both Blubber and Mama did not have a type advantage over Poochyena and most of his team was so high leveled that battling it would barely be worth the effort. There was one other exception however as Patrick shined it's gem towards the menacing Pokemon and started to shake back and forward looking for a chance to test itself against a foe with a type advantage.
Patrick had plently of experience surfing with Marchbaby but not as much battling experience as the young dragon tamer apprentice would have liked so this would be the perfect chance to give the young Starmie some practice to help catch up with the rest of his team. Marchbaby nodded at Patrick as it slowly walked forward on it's strange appendages stopping a few feet in front of Poochyena before coming to a dead stop in front of the canine.
" Your Psychic attack won't do anything to that Poochyena thanks to it's type but maybe you can take advantage of your powers and summon a large enough body of water to Surf on and strike it before it can make a move. Just be careful as Poochyena have a nasty Bite and being part Psychic type you won't handle that too well at all." The young Starmie then started to shake violently in what appaeared to be a dance to summon a downpour of some kind. As silly as it looked the appearance of clouds overhead followed by a deluge of rain seemed to do the trick as the downpour quickly grew deep enough for Patrick to start surfing towards it's foe at incredible speed.
" Well it is not quite as good as Rain Dance but your dance certainly seems to have worked, keep riding the water and strike once you have built up your speed as much as you can." As Patrick then made a made dash towards Poochyena Marchbaby eagerly awaited the results. If this plan worked it might prove very useful in future gym battles and give poor Patrick a second reason to be on his team instead of just being useful to Surf across oceans like it currently did.
OOC: Patrick is sent out and uses Surf on Poochyena.

Poochyena is grateful it knows how to swim, but it is still completely defeated by the overgrown starfish. ![](https://johtophoto.com/sprites/pokemon/custom/treetopperstarmie.png) Patrick gained +1 level and is now Level 22! Patrick grew closer to Marchbaby and increased to +4 Happiness!

After quickly dealing with the Poochyena Marchbaby was about to make his way towards Kevin when Vör suddenly picked up on a strange energy coming from the nearby Slowpoke Well. It was similar in nature to Blubber and Mama and she knew she had to let Marchbaby know as such a strange energy had to be investigated. " There is a very strange energy nearby in the Slowpoke Well, it is hard to say but for some reason it reminds me of the energy Blubber and Mama give off, maybe it is related to dragons in some way?" Marchbaby wasted no time in making a detour as he could never pass up a chance to looking into dragon energy in any way, shape, or form.
As he reached the well he climbed down the ladder and started to walk down a narrow path trying to find the source of the energy. At first nothing seemed out of place from his last visit however as he approached the deepest part of the well he could see a nest full of Slowpoke eggs as well as a sight that left him baffled. Mixed in with the Slowpoke Eggs was a single Dratini egg. He could hardly believe what he was seeing as such a rare egg had no reason to be anywhere except the Dragon Den or in possession of a dragon tamer who could care for it.
The Slowpoke in the well were all fast asleep so Marchbaby decided to slowly walk towards the nest as quiet as a church mouse to grab the egg so that he could care for it. He hated trying to take the egg as the Slowpoke likely thought it was one of their eggs but he knew if he did not take it the Dratini egg could end up in the hands of someone with far less pure intentions than himself.
As soon as he grabbed the egg he tip toes back towards the entrance making sure not to harm the Slowpoke eggs there. He hoped the Slowpoke would not even notice the Dratini egg was missing and as soon as he was within reach of the ladder to get out he climbed as fast as he could with his newly found egg.
" Whew that was stressful, it was worth the side trip though as a Dratini egg is such a rare sight. We will take care of this little one for now. Draco will be thrilled if we bring him a friend when we make it back to Blackthorn. For now let's keep trying to find Kevin."
After making his way towards Kevin he could hear the cries of many Pokemon nearby and he grew anxious, with such a rare egg in his possession he wanted to get to Kevin as soon as he could. As he got close to Kevin he could hear a battle going on and off in the distance he could see Kevin in the middle of a battle with a Surskit.
Before he could get close enough for Kevin to hear him however he could hear something else approaching and he got ready for a fight.
OOC: Looking for another encounter. Long post to introduce the Dratini egg Tarlar bred for me.

As the female Nidoran stepped forward on the slippery ground Marchbaby was quite relieved to see it was not something more threatening. He knew that until the Dratini egg hatched it was super vulnerable but he could at least avoid worrying excessively for now as he doubted the Nidoran would try anythingnwith the egg. On the other hand a young poison type was the perfect target to have Patrick practice it's psychic powers on so it could continue to grow stronger and close the gap with the rest of Marchbaby's team. As he placed the egg in his backpack he turned to Patrick who was more than eager to get into another battle.
" Patrick we just found another perfect sparring partner for you and this one is not immune to your psychic powers so any of your moves besides Recover can cause damage. Psychic will be super effective however so we will go with that move this time around once you have concentrated your powers long enough." He then watched as the young Starmie started to glow and stretch out getting ready to unleash the attack. While Patrick was getting ready Odysseus popped out of his Ultra Ball and floated above the thick ice thinking it was a large pool. As he tried to dive into it the whale Pokemon quickly discovered ice was not a liquid unlike water and the resulting thud could be heard for quite a distance out.
" Whoa that was not good, Odysseus are you ok? Ice might look pretty but you cannot swim in it. We will find you more water to.swim in soon but until then you can only float. Trying to dive on this ice is a great way to injure yourself." Once Odysseus was out of any major risk of injuring himself Marchbaby turned back to Patrick who by now was more than ready to strike after watching the epic display of fail Odysseus had performed.
The glowing starfish Pokemon concentrated it's powers sending a powerful burst of psychic energy towards the young Nidoran hoping the display of force would scare it off before the young poison type could get any ideas. In the process Patrick hoped that unlike Odysseus it's own display would not be a dismal failure of epic porpotions.
" I really hope this works. The last thing we need right now is for anything else to go wrong with Kevin right over there watching us." He whispered to himself as he waited for the results.
OOC: Patrick uses Psychic.

Nothing really could go wrong here, it was rare pokemon were aggressive towards eggs, and nidorans were definitely not known as ones who'd eat eggs, more likely they were known to nurture and care for them. This one was just going to be a punchinc bag though and it got yeeted into the wilderness before it realized what had happened. ![](https://johtophoto.com/sprites/pokemon/custom/treetopperstarmie.png) Patrick grows +1 level to [Lv 23]!

Marchbaby could hardly believe his eyes as Patrick made quick work of the poor female Nidoran sending her flying so fast and far from the battle that he could not tell where the poor thing had landed or if it was still alive after such a violent attack. He felt quite bad for the poor thing but he was also proud of Patrick from growing ever so stronger from the lopsided battle. The weather had put a dent in his plans to train Blubber and Mama for the time being but the ongoing chinook was proving wonders for Patrick. As the Starmie started to strech out again after the battle Marchbaby approached Kevin who just so happened to be fighting a female Nidoran of his own.
" Long time no see, how have you been doing? I hope things have been going well since our last meeting." As he waited for Kevin to respong he could hear the Dratini egg starting to make a few noises from time to time and the young dragon tamer apprentice figured by now that Kevin must have seen the egg. As he held the egg out in front of Kevin the veteran trainer smiled quite pleased to see his friend acquire such a rare egg.
" Not too bad and by the look of things you have been quite busy. The Dratini egg is worth it's weight in gold so make sure to protect it with your life. A dragon tamer apprentice such as yourself can learn so much by training a Dratini. They are certainly easier to handle than Bagon, Gible, or some of the more aggressive dragon species." Kevin then turned for a second to think about how he would handle his own battle. As he did Marchbaby heard a noise from a nearby bush and got Patrick ready just in case it was something the young Starmie could take care of.
" Patrick I could use your help again, we seem to be a magnet for wild Pokemon which so long as no harm comes to the egg is fine by me. I do not believe Kevin has had a chance to see you battle since you evolved so this will be a good chance to show off a bit." The Starmie then took it's position and got ready to attack whatever jumped out. It was on a roll lately and it wanted to keep growing stronger so it would not hold the rest of Marchbaby's team back any more.
OOC: Looking for another encounter.

As the Surskit slid out in front of Marchbaby the young man was quite amused by the bugs movements. He had captured one previously and yet he still could not help but chuckle whenever he saw one try and move around. He had planned to use Patrick again as the Starmie sould be able to out speed Surskit even with a type disadvantage however before he could send Patrick towards the bug Mama popped out of her Safari Ball looking for another fight despite the weather. A ground type in this weather was usually not a great idea but if Mama wanted to try he was not about to stop the young Trapinch.
" Are you sure about this Mama? Slippery weather like this will not be easy on your tiny legs and the cold might hurt you. If you really want to try however I guess it is worth it. Just do not push yourself too hard." As Marchbaby watched the determined Trapinch she lowered her head and started to scoop up a pile of icy dirt before pushing it forward with her jaw. It was quite a stunning sight as ground types usually hated the cold but it was clear she was determined to grow stronger no matter how hard such a task like that could be in such unfavorable weather.
" I suppose your Bulldoze will indeed be a useful move to try, maybe it will help make the ground a bit less slippery. If nothing else it will at least give you somewhere to stand that isn't covered in ice or snow." As soon as he gave the order Mama pushed herself as hard as she could to deliver the attack and while he waited to see if she would succeed he turned back to Kevin who was nearly finished with his battle against a female Nidoran. Marchbaby was quite impressed by Barb's endurance and her spikes being able to cause damage against anything that tried to make contact. He knew just how useful such a strange Pokemon could be.
" I need to get a Ferroseed one of these days, that poor Nidoran is really struggling against Barb. I had no idea such a small Pokemon could prove such a tough nut to crack but she is truly a remarkable Pokemon. Even Alpha cannot endure hits as well as she can." He then turned back towards Mama who was just about in range to try and score a hit on the Surskit.
OOC: Mama is sent out and uses Bulldoze. SHe is holding Soft Sand to increase damage.

Surskit spreads a sickly sweet scent around the area, making Mama's evasion fall. Too bad for the little bug that Mama's next attack sends it flying to the next dimension. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/trapinch.png) Mama gains 750 EXP. 50*15: 750Mama increased to 3124/2611 EXP!Mama gains 1 level. Mama increases to Level 30!Mama is as close as she will ever get to Marchbaby! Surskit's Move: y8Y9hCDqp_1-4 Mama's move is 100% accuracy and minimum 100% dmg, so really no need to roll. Here it is for tracking though, lmao. Mama's Bulldoze: (crit) p_1-16 (strength) p_1-16 Marchbaby Mama's total needed EXP wasn't properly updated since last leveling. She needed 2611 to level. Still meets this requirement and levels here, just letting you know so when you do the math for remaining EXP it makes sense. 1-4·1-16·1-16
