In the city of fools, I was careful and cool but they tore me apart like a hurricane.
TAG mod / penumbra hills
NOTES - Raiden has Mudkip active So not only did he find that this place allowed studies, it allowed trainers to travel around its areas and see both pokemon as well as try to train and capture them. Raiden thought it was actually quite interesting, and as much as he wasn't sure he was good at this whole "schooling" thing he at the very least could tell the importance of it. He would probably fail a few times, but that didn't mean that he couldn't try his absolute best and continue to learn. Maybe something here would help him in the long run, though he still had to stick under the radar didn't mean he couldn't learn.
It seemed almost strange if he was honest about it, was it unfair that he was here and his friends - where were his friends? Those that had placed their faith in him. He knew what had happened to most of them, they were the reminders of the scars that lay under his gloves, a reminder of the heat when they had been betrayed. Those that had made it out with their lives were greeted with cuffs of a trap and bars for a crime they had not committed. It is still haunting, nights of nightmares, and ones that he would wake up with and not be able to go back to sleep.
A small shake of his hand at his side is enough for Mudkip to rub her head against his leg pulling him back to the present. "Thanks," he says softly as he kneels down a gloved hand gently petting the top of her head gently. "I appreciate it, I'm okay now." wasn't he supposed to be the one encouraging her? Though he guessed he had really never had a relationship with pokemon like he was lucky to have now. This was a region of new things and he wasn't going to take it for granted not after everything that had been given up for him to be able to come this far.
"Let's see what these hills have in plan for us shall we?" he said with a soft smile reserved only when others couldn't see. While he had walls up to protect himself from people, that didn't mean anything for the pokemon that were now loyal to him, that needed him to be here for them. He couldn't let them down, no Raiden wasn't sure he could take the burden of letting anyone down again.

While Mizuma Education Center was a meticulously sculpted estate with perfectly manicured lawns and large, flowering bushes tended by the best gardeners that they could find, the hilly landscape that sat a ways off from the main estates was not. It was wild, with towering pines and massive live oaks battling for every inch of space. Large ledges blocked off many pathways, causing most of the trainers who wandered around the hills to have to retrace their steps in hopes of finding more manageable trials. Often times, many unsuspecting trainers would walk face first into thick trees who large frames propped up between impossibly tough bushes and wild thorny vines, causing them to turn tail back to the main estates when they realized they did not have a partner who could properly cut them down. The trial Raiden would find himself traveling down would be no different. There were careful pathways he could use along the way from the main building to the wilderness as a wide sidewalk carried him safely to the where Penumbra Hills began. A small wooden sign sat near the edge where the sidewalk ended, dumping the young adult into tall wild grasses that stretched up nearly to his chest, with large ‘v shaped’ spikes dotted with several small black seeds. It was clear from the outside that while the Education Center was well maintained and cared for, the hills were left to their own devices. It was no surprise, then, that the small wooden sign warned of dangerously wild Pokemon who were not as accustomed to humans traveling within their territories. Something moved through the tall grasses, poking its scaly head out curiously. An egg eater with sharp yellow eyes and a forked salmon colored tongue. It hissed, slipping the tongue out from between its rough lips, and tasted the hair around it as its slitted eyes stared Raiden up and down as though it were considering if he would make a tasty snack. Hunger drove the beast, and the venom that ran through its veins urged it along. The long rattle at the tip of its tail wailed like a siren in alarm. Enemies on its turf. Enemies that it lunged at, diving straight for Raiden’s feet in a hasty attempt to sink its sharp fangs into the side of his legs and try to bring the large beast down. Would Raiden react swiftly enough by sending out a Pokemon, to avoid being bitten? A Wild Ekans Appeared! Level 2. What will Raiden do? Shiny? huakJGmg1-42 Pokemon: (rare) 1-10 (uncommon) 1-3 (mon) 1-2 (level) 1-7
Also necroix encounter threads in estates count towards eggs so make sure to count them words. <3 Up to 400 words per post without Heat Lamp or proper Ability can be counted. I counted 409 this post and will credit you for them. <3 1-42·1-10·1-3·1-2·1-8

WC 370 for nido egg
NOTES - Mudkip used Water Gun, Mudkip tried to intimidate the ekans The place was completely opposite to the rest of the estate, the perfectly taken care of grounds. This place was not any of that, all of it was left to the wilds none of it cared for like the rest of it. The signs were fair though that things would be different out here. Warnings of danger and of entering at your own risk. The fact that the grass was so tall that even someone like him would struggle to get through it was something else. "Well guess we are in the right place." he said looking down at Mudkip. A small yip was the response he got before bending down to gently pick her up in his arms.
"We don't want you getting lost in the grass now do we?" he said as the pokemon completely relaxed in the arms that held her above the grass that seemed to sway with every breeze. At first, he wondered if he was going to run into one of those trees that he had heard people talk about. Something about having to have the move cut to get through them, couldn't they just cut it down themselves? Maybe that was against the rules here, he guessed he would follow it since they were letting him train out here.
His thoughts are only momentarily distracted as he heard the rustling of the nearby grass where he was stepping. It is only thanks to the skills that he had picked up in Orre that he saw the snake. The sounds of its tail were a warning enough as the larger man quickly moved just in time for the fangs striking at his leg to miss their mark. "Looks like we have a fighter, you got this mudkip?" he said as the pokemon jumped out of his arms putting up a brave face at the pokemon. "Back off buddy." she puffed herself up at the snake.
Seemed like they had their first pokemon fight out here in the process. "Let's cool it off with a water gun." he said with a stretch of his arm towards the pokemon. Yea, maybe this snake wouldn't be so quick to attack the trainer if it cooled off some.

The wild snake’s eyes narrowed down on the strange looking mudfish. There was nothing like Mudkip in the wilderness of Penumbra, though Mudkip’s dorsal fin and tail fin reminded the wild serpent of fish it seen swimming in distant lakes. Were wild fish able to climb out of their watery homes and find themselves as comfortable upon land as they were inside of the water? It seemed strange and out of place. “Thisss my terrrritorrry.” Ekans hissed, forked tongue wavering in the air for a moment. Mudkip’s taste was strange. It doubted that the small amphibian would make a satisfying meal if it tried to wrap itself around Mudkip and swallow her whole. It definitely didn’t want to have an upset stomach in the morning. That happened once before, when Ekans managed to find carrion deep inside of the wooded hillside. It was singularly the worst day of its life. Its tail rattled continuously, a warning it issued to try and scare them both away from itself and far from its territory. Raiden was interesting…not quite the kind of meal that the six foot long snake could turn into a meal with ease. And if it did so, would that only slow it down as it tried to digest the twenty-one year old? That could prove problematic, as well. Mudkip fired long shots of water that slapped Ekans against its sides and face, initially knocking its backwards through the tall grasses. It reeled, flipping, and rolling about in the tall grasses. Ekans flipped itself upside down, curling its tail around itself dramatically to tuck its head underneath its rattling tail as though they might have already won the fight, even if that might not seem quite right off the beat. It’s sharp eyes leered at Mudkip from underneath its tail with a striking look. “Oooooh toouuughhh.” It cried softly. Would Mudkip and Raiden erroneously expect to be victors this soon on, falling into its trap?

WC 270 for nido egg
NOTES - Raiden starts to leave, Mudkip used Water Gun The fact that this guy had attacked with no warning was something that really made the mudkip upset. Where was the decency? Though she was more than willing to take this fight for her trainer, since she wanted to protect him, it was only because of that frustration that she wasn't as modest as she normally was. At the hiss that came from the snake her puffed-up features finally settled back to normal. <"We were just passing through."> not that it mattered because the snake had already declared war.
Her water spouts seemed to do the job well as the snake was thrown back into the grass tumbling and turning and fell on its back in a quite awkward way. Mudkip wondered how its body could bend and twist that way, it was quite strange. Raiden didn't even know that the snake was faking, he simply just wanted to continue since the snake had no interest in catching it. It was simply meant to help train mudkip better so he had started to continue on not thinking anything of what the snake was doing. Mudkip however, seemed a little hesitant because there was something not quite right about this situation. Though she didn't want to leave her trainer very far behind she glanced back at the snake.
A warning water gun shot in the pokemon's direction to not follow them, or to slither back from where they had come from. Noticing the water pokemon hadn't continued with him Raiden looked back stopping in his tracks. "Mudkip you coming?" he asked confused why she was still standing where she had before.

How rude! Ekans never thought that by faking its own death, they would keep attacking. When did fish eat snakes? The Grant Ekans Association would need to hear about this. Should any accidentally ever wander into the dark and murky caverns underneath the expansive hillside, they would be sorely missed should those sharp teethed fish go hangering for a little taste of scaly serpentine soup! “I think I gave up!” Ekans hissed loudly, flipping back onto its stomach and curling up defensively. “Just let me be and I’ll let you be!” It would slither off into the distance so long as Mudkip and Aiden allowed it to do so in peace. The woods that surrounded them afterwards remained just as wild and untamed. Tall grasses swept around Raiden and battled with the slithering vines whose sharp thorns dug into the sides of the tall trees. Bright green spiders darted out of their perfectly spun webs as they saw the trainer approaching, hiding with soft shivers in the canopies above. If Raiden listened carefully, he would hear the hills around him singing with a cacophony of sounds. Loud squeaks with blurred furry purple bodies darting between the bright green blades of grass. And loud howls in the distance in unknown and distorted locations. Some of the trees were pressed close together, making traveling in a simple path nearly impossible. It was obvious that clearing the pathway for himself would be a matter of when than it would be of if. The question remained, though: would Raiden press on through the entangled mess of the wild forests along the hillside? Or would he retreat back to the safety and security of the perfectly manicured estate he’d left not so long ago?
![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bwani/mudkip.gif) Mudkip gained 2 levels and increased to Level 7! Mudkip has learned the move Rock Smash! Note: Due to player protection, Raiden can still capture Ekans until he has his first badge. If this is of interest just simply note so and I'll subtract a Poke Ball and give you the code on next update. Adding words to egg!

NOTES - Raiden continues on; passing on ekans Raiden had no idea exactly what it was that had bothered mudkip, if anything he wasn't sure what the pokemon had stayed behind for. Mudkip on the other hand just wanted to make sure that the snake wasn't going to do anything funny. Even with it falling on its back she wasn't completely believing that it wouldn't lash out when they weren't looking. Her last warning shop seemed to do the trick as the pokemon seemed to complain at her that it had given up but she wasn't quite so trusting of that. <"Uh huh, hope I don't see you again."> she called back puffing up her fins again before she heard her trainer calling and quickly moved to keep up with him once more.
Raiden moved to gently give her a rub on the head. "You still feeling good if we continue?" he asked making sure she hadn't gotten any lumps or bumps on her before she seemed to be completely fine and even gave a happy little noise back. Guess it seemed they were good to go ahead. "If you stay behind me I'll protect you from most of the grass so it doesn't hit you." he would at least shield her since she was so small. He'd really prefer carrying her but he had found that she needed to be down just in case another pokemon jumped out at them. The quiet of all of it was what attracted the trainer most, the sound of the pokemon and the woods itself. This wasn't anything he was used to, instead harsh sand was normally what greeted him.
"It's almost like a maze don't you think?" even if his mudkip couldn't really respond to him it was still nice to talk to her it made him feel better at least. "I think we should keep going and see what we find." so he pressed on, making sure to keep her close and keep an eye out for the pokemon he kept seeing at the edge of his vision because he didn't want to be startled again, or put Mudkip in a situation that she couldn't deal with.

Momma? Something stirred through the tall grasses. It crawled around, a bit delirious and blind after having recently hatched from an egg. Several snakes slithered nearby, their hisses calling to the skies above. But it was too new to the cold, hard reality of life around it. Too fresh from the womb. It stared through small, red eyes that blinked unknowingly, pouncing in play at large snakes that only saw it as a yummy meal they could have. The mouse’s saving grace? Loud footsteps that echoed in the distance, announcing the arrival of someone or something nearby. As the footsteps grew louder, the snakes lifted their heads away from the baby rat and hissed while rattling their tails. Their meal! When the creature appeared – larger and more imposing than anything they could have expected, they all slithered off with ease. Too dangerous to fight against!The small rat remaind there, confused and playful. It rushed over to Raiden and tried to chomp at his shoes, though not necessarily as a means to attack him. Was this a new friend? Was it momma? It looked mighty strange as a rat and didn’t look purple at all like Rattata. Why did he scare off its many mommas who just wanted to play? The small mouse was so confused. Will you play with me? And…. Why did you scare all my mommies off? A Wild Rattata appeared! Level 1. What will Raiden do? Tree?

NOTES - Raiden tries to help the rattata find a safe place It seemed that their adventure in the woods would continue, not so easily moving through the tall grasses as they made their way together to try and find something else to battle against or something that attracted their attention. It wasn't a very fast process considering just how thick this grass was and the fact that he had to look out for mudkip, who might have gotten in the grass if he wasn't careful to keep his eyes on her. The man instead looked around only to hear the sound of more hissing.
Mudkip was immediately on her guard expecting more snakes to come out of the grass but it seemed they had walked up on a certain situation. The snakes quickly disappeared as the small rat came bounding up and started nibbling on Raiden's shoes. Eyes glanced around for other rattata but he didn't see any just the snakes that he had managed to be scared away from their easy meals. It is mudkip that moves forward her little face moving near the little rat telling that it was very very young.
'What are you doing out here all alone?' it was a fair question for her to ask of it. She too did not see any other rattata's around and she rubbed against Raiden's leg. A sign that they wanted to help this little pokemon. Raiden didn't want to leave it to have it be snake food, so a small sigh came. "Don't bite me." he said as he slowly bent down slowly trying to pet the little rat to calm it down before he would pick it up since he didn't want it to run off. "Mudkip, let's find some rattata maybe they'll take it in." he said.
Nothing was worse than being separated from those that were family. Mudkip seemed on the case, detective mudkip was going to get to the bottom of this one! So she quickly tried to find a rattata family that was missing it's little one. 'Hello! Anyone out here missing a baby rattata?' that would surely work right?

The baby rodent blinked several times. This strange fish out of water went screaming around for its lost parents, but they scared them all away. Its mommas were really scaly while it was super furry, but they all were super purple and seemed to fit the profile for one who had only just hatched. “I hatched right over there. I had like a bunch of legless mommas that you both scared away!” It squeaked and scurried over to the makeshift nest where it recently hatched. If Raiden or Mudkip wandered over to the spot, they were notice several tufts of fur around broken eggshells. Rattata sniffed the ground while small tears trickled from the corner of its eyes. It was scared. And so alone. All it wanted was its many mommas again. Why did they run off like that? One Ekans smirked, slithering out from the thick underbrush with a devious smirk as it eyed the small rodent up and down with delicious interest. “Hey there, little one.” It smirked, to which Rattata spun around with a mile wide grin on its face. “Momma! You came back!” Ekans curled its long body around the rat with a heavy nod. “Yesss, dear. Momma’s home…Momma’s gunna make everything alright.” Ekans smirked, squeezing Rattata hard enough to make it squeak out in pain. Oh, this hurt so much! Why was momma hugging it so tightly?! “Momma…I can’t breathe, momma…” Rattata squirmed between Ekans’ tight coils. The snake turned to Mudkip and bowed graciously. “Thank you for finding my uhm…child. I appreciate the help. We’ll just be..uhm…going now!” It smirked, and turned to slither off into the deep forest nearby. Raiden and his buddy would have two choices before them. They could choose to let Ekans take the baby rodent freely, gaining nothing but naivety as ‘experience’ as they wouldn’t learn much from such a sacrifice. Or they could fight Ekans to try and save the baby. A Wild Ekans claims to be 'momma'! Level 7. Ekans cannot be caught. Should Raiden defend Rattata, he may earn a new rodent friend.

WC 300 for pancham egg
NOTES - Raiden has too much of a conscious, mudkip used water gun Perhaps running around and yelling if anyone was missing a baby wasn't the best way to go about doing it, but Raiden wasn't aware of what Mudkip was yelling. In the end, they didn't get very far before it seemed the little rodent managed to squirm out of the taller man's arms and rush back to the area they had recently found its hatch. Mudkip seemed to puff up her cheeks some at the purple rodent's claims. <"Those weren't your parents, they were trying to-"> The rattata wasn't listening as it made its way back into the same nest it had hatched.
If a mudkip could bristle, it would have when it saw the snake appear again and wrap around the pokemon who willingly went back in its tail. <"Hey back off!"> but what could mudkip do if the rat went right back and wouldn't listen. <"Rattata no, come back here we can help you."> she tried but the snake already had its tail wrapped around and squeezed tight and it was obvious it was hurting the small rat. Raiden also noticed the commotion and a frown settled on his face. "Hey, let that Rattata go!" even if he couldn't understand the words of the pokemon he had an understanding of what would happen if he turned a blind eye.
"Mudkip, use Water Gun, try not to hurt the Rattata." he called. He really did have too soft of a heart for pokemon even if he had no intention of keeping the small rat pokemon. Mudkip was more than happy to listen jumping to the side that Rattata wasn't being held by and attempting to squirt water right in the snake's face. <"Drop the kid or i'll really make you regret it."> she called after the attack had gone off.

Rattata’s small red eyes shifted from the helpful Mudkip to its ‘momma’. Why would such a sweet and caring Pokemon try to keep it away from its parent? Sure, momma was crushing every organ and bone in its body. Wasn’t that just a mother’s love, though? Ekans shook its head and turned to the small rodent, wrapped securely in its tight coils. “Don’t listen to them. They want to keep you away from momma.” Ekans hissed in a soft, soothing voice while staring into the newly hatched Rattata’s bright red eyes. “They want to sssteal you away from momma.” It hissed convincingly. Ekans turned away from the small hatchling to its opponents and shot out several small, poisonous barbs from its fangs at Mudkip. While the poisonous barbs managed to score against Mudkip’s soft wet skin, they weren’t able to dig in deep enough to let their poisons sink into Mudkip’s flesh. “Why are you trying to steal me away from my momma?!” Rattata turned its head around just enough to stare at Mudkip with painful, sad eyes. “Momma’s just hugging me! Momma loves me!” It protested in quick yelps as Ekans’ coils tightened more. Mudkip slammed Ekans with a powerful blast of water, making its coils loosen up slightly. It was still clinging onto its prize, though this would buy Rattata enough time to catch its breath. They were an eyesore. A blight on this world. Ekans slithered over to a thick patch of grass and settled its soon to be lunch in there carefully. “Wait right here while momma deals with these meanies!” Ekans hissed with a smirk, then turned back to Mudkip and rose itself up high in the air while rattling the tip of its tail. “I’ll make you pay for that!” Ekans hissed angrily. The weather was beginning to warm up, hinting to the approaching heat wave that was just on the horizon. Though it would seem as though the clear skies Raiden enjoyed would last a bit longer still.

WC 395 for pancham egg
NOTES - Mudkips is in fact using water gun again The mudkip really disliked what she was hearing, the fact that this snake was using the pokemon like this was really making her upset. Even if she didn't think that she was the best when it came to fighting she would do everything in her power to help the poor pokemon. They had to find Ratatta and give it a real family. A family that wouldn't try to eat it the minute that their backs were turned and this snake was trying to do just that. <"It's lying! Don't listen to it, we were helping you remember? Why would we keep you away from a pokemon that we thought was your real mother?"> she tried to reason with the rat pokemon hoping to make them feel better.
Still when it turned the small pokemon against Mudkip she deflated some at the accusations and the eyes of the Ratatta. <"Because, I'm trying to save you. That snake looks nothing like you, it isn't your mother."> she didn't want to hurt the rat, emotionally or physically but if she left this situation alone it would surely be eaten. It was the natural way of life, but she didn't want to be responsible for it. In this way hadn't they become responsible for the small creature? With her trainer giving her the command, Mudkip jumped forward spraying water on the snake hoping it would let go. Though she received a painful bite in return.
Seeing the snake let go it was Raiden that moved slightly to the side so the small rat could see him and moved to a knee being careful not to be in striking distance of the snake. He motioned with his hand trying to get the small rat to come to him. "Come here little guy, we'll protect you." he said trying to coax it over unsure of what the pokemon were saying around him. Since Raiden was busy it was up to Mudkip to choose what she would do next and the same moved seemed just as good as any.
<"Try me you big liar!"> she replied to the reptile as she once again stored up a water gun and attempted to throw it at the snake once more. <"Go find your food elsewhere, this little one isn't yours."> maybe she shouldn't have said that out loud but she was kind of frustrated.

Rattata scrunched up its nose and turned to the legless momma who was very scaley and lacked quite a bit of fur. The differences were noticeable to even Rattata, though they weren’t as easily explainable as Mudkip seemed to imply them to be. Maybe mommas were different than babies because they had different experiences beyond being freshly hatched from the egg? Maybe Rattata was the most special little baby of all, a gem of a baby unlike any other, and despite its obvious and very glaringly ugly differences, momma still loved it no matter what? How was a baby to know all the hows or whys of life, after all? “Uhm…because…you don’t think momma can love me…the way I am?”Tears welled up in the corners of Rattata’s eyes as it thought about that possibility and gulped. Ekans narrowed its eyes angrily at Mudkip while slithering the rattled tip of its tail towards Rattata to whip away its tears. “You see what you’ve done to my baby?! Now it’s going to have self esteem issues for the rest of its life! All because YOU thought it wasn’t good enough to be loved properly by ME! But I’ll make you pay for that, you know!” Rattata tugged on the end of ‘momma’s’ tai and shook its head firmly. “Please don’t hurt my friends….they mean well…I promise!”Ekans grumbled underneath its breath. This newfound meal ticket was going to make this hard, wasn’t it? “Ok baby…for you, I’ll give them one last chance to flee.” It leered at Mudkip angrily and nodded its head in the direction far away from the both of them that it thought Mudkip and her trainer should go. When Mudkip blasted Ekans in the face with another onslaught of high-powered water, Ekans hissed and shook itself to try and shake most of the cold spritz off its body. “You’re REALLY testing my patience, ya know that!?” Ekans hissed angrily.

In the city of fools, I was careful and cool but they tore me apart like a hurricane.
WC 400 for pancham egg
NOTES - mudkip is gonna use r- jk its water gun again xD This was becoming downright painful, Mudkip had been so sure that she was doing the right thing, yet as she tried her best to convince the little pokemon that it was in danger it kept getting worse. She tried, she really did, because she wanted to save the pokemon. She wanted to make sure the little one was safe but even when she tried to explain what was going on the pokemon didn't want to listen. The words that it speaks back all but rip her apart. It hurts, a feeling she hasn't felt before and she feels all that steam roll out of her. <"Thats not... "> what could she even say to that? She knew how that felt, to be used and tossed aside, to not feel good enough. Yet her new trainer was constantly pushing her to trust in herself.
The words cut deeper than any attack, any status of poison that could affect her. <"I'm just trying to do the right thing."> she said looking at the small little rat. It really wanted to stay? She knew better, she knew that this was all an act, something to get them to walk away and leave. To make sure that it got the dinner that it was working so hard for. Yet Mudkip couldn't help but let out a small cry because she felt burdened with such a thing. It was Raiden that seemed to notice the difference between the cries of the pokemon. Instead of his attention going to the rat pokemon he moved to mudkip instead. A gentle hand moved to touch her back.
"You've got this." he wasn't sure what was going on but he knew that sometimes encouragement was just what people needed, human or pokemon. The mudkip looked back at her trainer at the touch and it did seem to encourage her even though she knew he couldn't possibly understand what was actually going on. She could do this, or rather she hoped she could do this - but she had to be stronger, and believe in herself more. This time she wouldn't be given away, she would fight for the people that obviously cared about her - this trainer who was kind even in his grumpy way of doing things.
<"I think you should be the one to flee."> she steeled up her courage again to face the snake once more and the rattata that needed their help whether they knew it or not. Her eyes move to Rattata and a softness is there because she knew it didn't know any better. <"I get it, I really do. It's an aching feeling to be wanted just for you, that you might not ever be good enough. There will people who will try to use you and then throw you away. I've felt that kind of hurt, but that's not what this pokemon is trying to do. This 'momma' is going to use you. We won't use you, we'll find you a family, one that actually cares about you just for you."> Mukip could only offer this advice.
Finally turning back to the snake in question she feels her courage return. <"Let's do this then."> she said as she takes in a deep breath as water once more forms and is sprayed in the direction of the snake as a water gun. She wouldn't stop, no she couldn't stop. If not for the sake of the Rattata, but for her own sake. [googlefont=Karla]
