As the Jigglypuff appeared Kevin was not too worried as most of his Pokemon could easily handle the ball of air without too much issue. He was half tempted to capture the Jigglypuff however after thinking it over for a bit he decided to save his Ultra Balls for something else. The only thing he still had to work out was which Pokemon to use against it. Jumbo was tempting but as she did not know any steel type moves he decided to use Eiskalt as her Icicle Crash should be quite useful in a situation such as this and it would keep Oracle or Samantha from getting too much experience before their next gym battle.
" Eiskalt I do believe it is your time to shine. I wish Jumbo knew a steel type move so she could battle this Jigglypuff but alas she does not. Maybe we will get lucky with the next encounter and Jumbo will get a turn but for now we will need your assistance instead." The young Weavile happily leaped forward as the ice cold rain felt quite refreshing to her. Such a cold source of water was a perfect mix for her ice powers to work with and she wasted no time in getting ready at all.
She began to form numerous icicles from the falling rain before grabbing all of them with her claws. Once she was ready to attack Kevin gave the order." Good work Eiskalt, make use of those icicles and use Icicle Crash on the Jigglypuff and prepare a second one just in case it manages to dodge the first one. We want to make sure it does not get away from us before you get experience from defeating it or else this whole encounter will be nothing more than a wash."
As Eiskalt started her attack Kevin turned to the rest of his Pokemon and made sure they were as comfortable as possible in the weather as they waited for the results. Corporal Crusty was still struggling along with Samantha but the rest of his team was handling it pretty well all things considered. It was far from ideal weather but he was at least thankful it was not a hail storm as only Eiskalt was built to handle those. Kevin just hoped the weather would dry up soon so Samantha and Corporal Crusty could catch a break for a while.
OOC: Eiskalt is sent out and uses Icicle Crash x2.

The jigglypuff definitely had more to worry about than the rain that was coming down steadily as it goes down in one hit with a strong attack from Eiskalt! ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/xyani/weavile.gif) Eiskalt gained 750 EXP from a OHKO!

As Eiskalt made quick work of the Jigglypuff the weather started to turn cold as a frost covered the ground around Kevin and his team. Eiskalt was beyond thrilled as the cold weather was like heaven to her though the rest of Kevin's team were less than thrilled by the cold weather. Samantha in particular was nearly frozen from the cold and as she struggled to light more sticks on fire to stay warm the frost made it hard to get any stick hot enough to light. After multiple tries she was finally able.to light one which she quickly used to light a small log on fire to increase the time she would have to stay warm.
Kevin kept a close eye on the log to make sure it would not spread and burn down a whole forest while also trying to stay focused on training the younger members of his team. The frost was not making that a very easy task but he hoped Jumbo would be able to handle it for a little while so long as the next Pokemon they encountered was not too much of a pest for the young Cufant to handle. While Kevin, Oracle, and most of the others looked around for any sign of another wild Pokemon Samantha huddled up to the fire she made and was quite comfortable.
" You all have fun with that, you can join me by the fire whenever your brains start to function properly in this cold. Any Pokemon out in this weather is either rabid or dumb and I cannot handle either situation in weather like this." Just as she had gotten comfortable a loud noise coming from a nearby bush caught her attention however before she could say a word Oracle and the others had already reacted as they ran towards the bush near the log. Kevin believed the fire must be acting like a beacon and he decided to take advantage of it.
" Samantha's fire might just really help us out. I do think any Pokemon who is out and about has to be looking for something warm and few things in weather like this will come close to the warmth provided by a log fire. I can only imagine what is nearby but let's keep this fire going and maybe whatever is nearby will jump out soon." The group then waited to see if the fire would serve more than one purpose in such unforgiving weather.
OOC: Looking for another encounter. Cleanse Tag is active so all spawns will be level 15.

Upon seeing a Surskit ahead Kevin felt this was finally the time to give Barb a chance to battle as she would likely resist any attack a young Surskit could throw at her and if it did try and use any contact move the bug would quickly regret such a mistake as Barb's iron barbs would give the Surskit a nasty retalitory poke. He wished she knew a good bug type move to get a power bonus but for now her current moveset would have to do until.he could get her a better set of moves to take advantage of.
" Barb I think you can handle this one for a change, Surskit are really fast compared to you but they do not have a type advantage and your Rollout if successful will be quite nasty against a bug type such as itself. Do be careful of it's ranged attacks however." Seconds later the young Ferroseed hopped forward at a snails pace stopping in front of the Surskit with a look of pure determination as she waited for the best moment to strike. Her iron clad body was not going to be making the task of timing her strike any easier however the one advantage to that was that few physical attacks would put a dent in her any time soon.
Barb kept a close eye on Surskit knowing she could never keep pace with it but if she timed her attack right she could really make it pay for any attempt to get close to her. It also would give her a chance to study her foe and see what attacks it might try against her so she could try and counter with her rather limited movepool.
" It looks like that Surskit is about to make it's first move so be ready Barb, I am rooting for you here as this is one of your first real battles. As you grow stronger you will get more chances but here is hoping this goes well for you." He then waited as Barb got ready to endure the Surskit's first attack as she started to twist in place to build up enough volocity to strike the bug type with her heavy body.
Once the Surskit was ready to strike Barb focused all of her energy as she prepared to strike back at Surskit as soon as it's attack was over before it had a chance to recover from it's first strike.
OOC: Barb is sent out and uses Rollout.

The first round had gone almost perfectly for Barb despite her rather poor choice of offensive options. Rollout had done a decent amount of damage and her barbs did their job against the Surskit when it tried to use Quick Attack. Barb was all ready to go with another strike and Kevin had little doubt that if she he that she would win the battle this round. He could not deny he was tempted to try and capture Surskit but he could not bring himself to deny Barb a well earned victory after waiting so long to find something she could handle.
" Great work so far Barb, you did quite a bit of damage that round. Rollout might just be more useful for you for now that I had anticipated though I have no doubt it won't be a useful move forever." As he turned to face the Surskit he could see multiple figures approaching off in the distance and fairly soon he could tell it was Marchbaby and some of his Pokemon. While the sight of the dragon tamer apprentice was not too shocking the egg the young man was holding was a true sight to behold. Kevin was no egg expert but even from a distance he could tell the young man had somehow came across a Dratini egg.
" Well I'll be, Marchbaby has found a Dratini egg, good for him. It will make a great partner for him once it hatches. I wonder where he foubd it?" Before the young man got close enough for him to be able to ask he set his attention back to the battle at hand as Barb awaited the right moment to strike again as she continued to roll around at high speed. As she lined up her target for the next blow Kevin gave the order to strike hoping Barb would not miss and give the Surskit a small window to make a comeback.
" Barb use your Rollout again and if you miss try a second Rollout. One more hit is all you should need to wrap this up so we can go and see what Marchbaby is doing." Barb then made a mad dash towards the Surskit as fast as she could roll her heavy steel body.
As she did Kevin could see something jump out at Marchbaby as was quite curious what the young man was going to battle while waiting to see if Barb would be victorious in hers.
OOC: Barb uses Rollout x2, running shoes are exhausted for this battle.

As Barb finished her battle Kevin started to celebrate with the young Ferroseed when suddenly he heard a loud crashing sound coming from where he had seen Marchbaby. As he turned to see what had happened he saw Odysseus the Wailord had tried to dive onto a large section of ice mistaking it for a pool. Though a silly mistake Kevin still felt bad for the poor Wailord as it clearly wanted to find somewhere to swim. He could not blame Odysseus as he knew their species loved to swim whenever they could being a water type Pokemon and all.
" That sounded like it might have hurt, I sure hope March's Wailord is alright after that, Wailord aren't exactly very good at enduring damange and hitting solid ice like that cannot be a fun experience." As he then looked around to see what else was going on he saw Patrick getting ready to battle a female Nidoran. There was little doubt in Kevin's mind that a Starmie had a type advantage in a battle like that but was still intrigued enough to want tonwatch regardless. As he was distracted by the ongoing battle Barb grew bored of staying in one spot and started to use Rollout on nearby trees hoping a Pokemon would fall out of one so she could battle it.
As she slammed into the first two trees nothing happened but as she hit a third one the cry of a Pokemon could be heard. Kevin was not entirely sure of the source as Odysseus's failed ice dive had caused his ears to ring but regardless of where the cry came from he was more than prepared to battle anything that jumped out. As he looked around for any sogn of the Pokemon making the noise Barb started to Rollout again hoping to bait whatever it was into making contact with her spiky armor to give the attacker quite a nasty surprise.
Seconds later the cry grew louder and Barb continued to build up speed in order to strike the second her target was in range. Corporal Crusty and Jumbo stood by ready as well as they were all hoping to train and catch up with the stronger Pokemon on Kevin's team. " Be on the lookout everyone, whatever it is has to be close and we do not want to get ambushed by anything powerful. Who knows what else might be lurking around these parts about now."
OOC: Looking for another encounter.

As Kevin took a good look at the female Nidoran who had approached him he had decided to let Barb have another go as she had done such a great job in her last battle and from what he knew of Nidoran such a young one would likely have to use physical attacks in battle. Given the spiked barbs all over Barb's body he naturally figured any Pokemon who tried such tactics would not have a good day against her. He signaled to the young Ferroseed and without hesitation she rolled in front of him ready for another battle. As she looked at her foe she did not even flinch at the sight of such a strange looking foe.
Unlike moat grass types Barb was immune to it's poison so she did not have to fear running into the poisonous horn Nidoran would commonly use to defend themselves and though she still had to keep up her guard just in case she showed no fear as she started to spin as fast as she could getting ready to unleash a Rollout on the small poison type. Barb's heavy body took a bit to get started but once she was up to speed her plan could be set in motion yet again.
" I for one would not want to have to charge at a spinning Ferroseed. There is multiple ways it could end badly." As Kevin turned back towards Marchbaby to see ehat he was doing he had to make sure not to wait too long to tell Barb when to strike as unlike Marchbaby's Starmie Barb did not have a super effective attack to rely on and miss timing the attack could cause Barb to bounce all over the place instead of hitting her target. As much as he eanted to see ehat Marchbaby would battle next he knew he would have to focus on the battle at hand first after waiting a moment and he turned back to Barb to order her to attack.
" Hopefully we time this right, Rollout can be a bit tough to judge and a Ferroseed rolling uncontrollably around so many trees and bushes could end in disaster. Barb use Rollout twice on that Nidoran and try to catch it off guard." As soon as Barb heard the order she started to roll towards the young Nidoran as fast as she could fully prepared to collide with the young creature with no sense of hesitation whatsoever.
OOC: Barb uses Rollout x2.

As the two Pokemon finished their attacks Kevin could easily tell the poor Nidoran could barely stand as she had clearly taken quite a bit of damage from both the Rollout combo and the iron barbs covering Barb's armor. He knew Barb would easily knock out the poison type with one more attack however he still needed a female Nidoran for the Pokedex and given the poor shape this one was in he figured there would be very little chance it could break out of a Ultra Ball so he made the decision to show the poor thing some mercy instead of knocking it out.
" I think that poor thing has learned it's lesson about who it picks a fight with, as much as I would love to see Barb win another battle outright I think showing this Nidoran some pity is the right call. Barb stay close just in case it does reject my offer." Kevin then started to dig through his backpack looking for a Ultra Ball and as he did he realized that Barb was not going to be able to stop her Rollout as much as he had hoped to show mercy to the poor Nidoran. As he watched Barb she continued to roll around at high speed aiming right for the poor creature unable to hear Kevin's command.
" Oh no, Barb must not be able to hear me right now, she is going so fast she must be fully focused on keeping up her attack. This is not going to end well unless Barb somehow misses her attack, I feel so bad for that poor Nidoran." Kevin held the Ultra Ball in his hand just in case some kind of miracle occured that would allow him to still show some pity to the Nidoran instead of knocking her out. As bad as things looked he could keep hoping for a miracle of some kind.
While he watched Barb get closer and closer to the Nidroran he knew if the young Ferroseed scored a hit this battle would be over and if she did miss the barbs covering Barb might still knock Nidoran out regardless. " The good news is their species isn't really rare but it is a shame we won't be able to catch this poor thing baring a stroke of luck right now. Nidoran of both genders can be quite useful once they evolve into Nidoking and Nidoqueen."
OOC: Barb uses Rollout again, if she misses Kevin will toss a Ultra Ball.
