As soon as the wild Spinda hit the dirt, Riolu smirked, Scraggy took some deep breaths and started to calm down, and Clem finally managed to shrug off the pain and get back on her feet. "Phew! That was one heck of a battle. Thanks for sticking up for me like that, you two. Riolu, your sweetie was showing. And Scraggy, I always knew you had a real fire inside of you." Clem smiled happily and warmly down at her two small Fighting types, very pleased with everything they had done for her during the battle, as well as Scraggy's victory in said battle. And now that the excitement and intensity had passed, Scraggy returned to her usual nature, blushing very hard, grabbing her extra skin, and burying her face in it. "G-Gee...It was nothing, Clem...I'm just...glad I could be of help...N-Now...please stop looking at me like that..."Riolu also returned to her true nature as well, folding her paws in front of her, rolling her eyes, and letting out a sigh of exasperation. "Clearly, just one battle isn't gonna do it. C'mon, you two, let's go find something for Scraggy to Drain Punch. I'm sure she's feeling more than a little exhausted after that battle. You wouldn't expect such a dizzy Pokemon to put up such a nasty fight." The Emanation Pokemon commented, then reached over, grabbed onto Scraggy's tail, and started to drag her to another part of route 29. Seeing this, Clem couldn't help but giggle just a little bit, following Riolu's lead once again. "Keep on acting all tough if you want, Riolu, but I know that you really care about all of us on this team. You wouldn't be pushing all of us so hard if you didn't."In response to the Galarian girl's playful claims, the small blue puppy only grumbled to herself for a minute, continuing to drag the Shedding Pokemon by her tail along the route in search of another wild Pokemon to battle. Preferably another Normal type. Fortunately, they didn't have to search for very long at all, as Riolu's aura senses picked up on a nearby Sentret. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as though this Scout Pokemon was neglecting its responsibilities, bouncing up and down by its tail on a pile of sand leftover from the short but fierce dust storm. It was also fortunate that this Sentret was so engrossed in its playtime that it hadn't noticed Clem or her two Pokemon just yet, as the group made their way over to it and came to a stop about three yards away from the fun-loving Normal type. "Okay, here we go. This'll do. The element of surprise. It doesn't get any easier than this. Are you ready, Scraggy?" Riolu commented on the scene before them, then glanced at her teammate as she questioned her, keeping her hold on Scraggy's tail the entire time. Before answering, Scraggy peaked out from behind her skin, glancing at the wild Sentret and doing her best to steady her nerves. "...I...I think so, Riolu." That was good enough for Riolu, as she nodded, took a deep breath, then swung Scraggy around by her tail, before letting go and throwing her right at the Scout Pokemon as hard as she could. "Good! Then get in there and use Drain Punch!" Not expecting this at all, Scraggy screamed in terror as she flew through the air, heading straight for the bouncing Sentret, while Clem smiled and cheered from the sidelines with Riolu. "Yeah! Go, Scraggy! You got this!"OOC: Right you are, Tarlar. I have no interest in capturing that Spinda, but thanks for bringing it up. However, I would like to teach Headbutt to Clem's Scraggy, having her forget Power-Up Punch in its place. I'll take care of that myself right now. Also, since this thread has reached five pages now, I'm also making use of the Poke Radar to initiate a wild Sentret encounter. Thanks a bunch.

When that nasty sandstorm blew threw, it left little piles of dust everywhere. And while it was common sense to hide during storms, and sentret were usually quite skittish, this one was fascinated by the unruly weather. When the freak storm passed, it quickly scampered out to paw at the pile of sand mounded up on the grass near its home. It poked and prodded, ears twitching with curiosity. Then it jumped up on the little hill and bounced on its tail. Oh what fun! It chittered and very innocently played on this fascinating new spot and would have continued doing so if not for someone rudely running up to it and literally punching it so hard that it flew up into the branches of a nearby tree. Oops? The sentret let out a scolding chitter of complaint before scurrying down the trunk and out of sight.

As the defeated Sentret scampered off, Riolu responded to its scolding by shaking her right paw in the air, glaring slightly, and shouting right back at the Scout Pokemon. "Oh yeah?! Well, same to you, weakling! Let this be a lesson to you! Never let your guard down in the wild! Ever!" Riolu let out a huff after that, while Scraggy was still reeling after being tossed through the air so suddenly. The Fighting/Dark type stumbled all around for about two minutes, doing her very best to keep from falling over, despite having won the very quick battle. "Urgh...Way too fast...Someone stop the world, I wanna get off...Hurk!...Don't throw up. Don't throw up..." Scraggy kept repeating to herself, as it took everything she had left to keep from losing her lunch.
Seeing this, Clem was unable to keep from giggling a little bit, finding this scene to be rather adorable, not to mention comical. "Okay, Scraggy sweetie, I think that's enough training for you for now. Go back inside your Pokeball until you feel like your old self again." Refusing to prolong her Pokemon's suffering, Clem called Scraggy back to her Pokeball for some down time, before tucking the red and white sphere back into her bag. And just like that, she and Riolu were all alone once again. "So, it looks like you're the only one left that could use some training, Riolu. What do ya say we finally have our first battle together, huh?" The silver-haired trainer asked her precious Pokemon with a warm smile upon her face, very much looking forward to finally having a good battle with said Pokemon.
However, just like always, Riolu wasn't too thrilled by the idea of getting ordered around by her undead trainer, breathing out her usual sigh of exasperation. "...Fine. Whatever. I did say that I wanted to at least try to make this work. So, c'mon, zombie. Let's see what we can find." The Emanation Pokemon turned around, started to walk off in another direction, and Clem happily followed her lead, humming and skipping with joy. Not long after that, Clem and Riolu came across a wild Rattata, gnawing contently on what appeared to be a grilled cheese sandwich. Seeing this, both trainer and Pokemon came to a stop, as the trainer tilted her head in confusion, losing her smile in favor of an equally confused facial expression to match. "Hmmm...Where do you suppose that Rattata got that sandwich from, Riolu?"
"Check your Pokedex, zombie. Rattata occasionally steal food from stupid trainers. I guess there's someone on this route who's even more braindead than you are. But who cares? That little thief is as good an opponent as any, I suppose. But first, Muscle Band." Riolu answered her trainer's question, then snapped her small fingers, demanding a hold item from said trainer's bag. In response to this demand, Clem got her smile back, nodded her head, and quickly retrieved the yellow piece of fabric from her belongings. "Sure thing, Riolu! Here ya go! Take this and let's give Dig a try first, okay?!" The Galarian trainer was clearly very excited, but Riolu only grumbled a bit, grabbing the Muscle Band from her, wrapping it around her head, then started to dig through the ground in front of her. "You're lucky I can't evolve without you, zombie!"
OOC: I'll pass on having Scraggy learn Sand Attack, I'll make use of the Poke Radar to spawn a wild Rattata encounter this time, and before the battle officially begins, I'll swap out Riolu's EXP Share for the Muscle Band in Clementine's inventory with my Technician powers. Thanks a bunch.

This Rattata was just trying to live its best life, away from the trappings of life among the mischief of rats that called this area home. Being born with this golden coat of fur, it hadn't had the easiest time scrounging or hunting as its kin had had, leading to it digging through the trash in search of a decent meal. It had thought itself lucky to find this mostly intact sandwich, abandoned by some pampered kid leaving their food behind. But then the shouting of a certain zombie girl and her partner furiously digging into the ground interrupted its peaceful lunch. On instinct, the rat charged forward in some kind of tackle, but fell short when it reached an oddly dog-sized hole in the ground. The Rattata could only sit and look around in confusion, wondering where the upcoming attack was going to come from. Suddenly, Riolu burst from the ground right below the rat, striking into its golden hide with full force and knocking it to the side. Rattata could only wag its tail pitifully, trying to lower the defenses of the karate dog in preparation for its next move.

It was hard for them to tell while it was under the shade of a nearby tree, but upon closer inspection, both Clem and Riolu came to the realization that this was no ordinary Rattata they had encountered. And as soon as that realization fully registered in Clem's senses, the Galarian trainer gained a great big smile upon her face, with a set of sparkles in her eyes. She was so in awe about encountering her first ever shiny Pokemon that said shiny Pokemon's complaints didn't even reach her brain. "OH MY ARCEUS! Riolu! Look! Look! Look! It's a shiny Pokemon! A real life shiny Pokemon! I've never seen one in person before! They're really rare! This is so exciting! I can hardly believe out luck!" Trying to contain her excitement was a battle that Clementine was definitely losing, but she didn't really care about that at all. Riolu, on the other hand, cared a great deal, breathing out an even heavier and more exasperated sigh than usual, as she waited for Clem to finally finish gushing. "Yes. I can see it, zombie. Now, would you be so kind as to CALM DOWN AND SHUT UP ALREADY?!" The small blue canine turned to face her trainer as she yelled that last part out in extreme irritation, throwing an enraged glare her way to boot. Thankfully, Clem did start to calm back down after that, but not just because of Riolu's fury. She also saw the shiny Rattata's emotional distress clear as day through her Lucario eye, losing her smile in favor of a more saddened and sympathetic tone of voice. "Oh dear. You've certainly had it rough, haven't you, Rattata? I guess being shiny is both a blessing and a curse, isn't it? How sad. For what it's worth, I'm sorry you've had it so rough."And as she waited for Rattata's retort, a thought suddenly cross the silver-haired girl's mind. What if she were to capture this shiny Rattata herself? True, it wasn't a Fighting type Pokemon, but at the very least, Clem could catch it, and pass it along to a good trainer who'd make sure that it wouldn't suffer anymore. With her mind made up, Clem's smile returned, as she grabbed an empty Pokeball from her bag and gave Riolu a command. "Riolu, I've decided that we're gonna catch that Rattata! I'm sure we can find someone with a good heart who'd love to add a shiny Pokemon to their team! So, use Dig again! Let's go!" Riolu wasn't the least bit surprised by Clem's rather sudden change in plans, knowing just how valuable shiny Pokemon were. "Well, at least her undead heart is in the right place and not clouded by greed." The Fighting type said to herself, then proceeded to dig another hole in the ground beneath her paws. OOC: Avalon, Clem's Riolu is only level 7, not 10. And this Rattata should only be between levels 2 and 8, not 10 either. Also, since Clem should technically still have the new trainer insurance or whatever it's called, could the next mod please send the code for this shiny Rattata my way if this second Dig attack hits? Much obliged.

The rattata clattered its teeth nervously, and it didn't get better when Clem shrieked. It wasn't the first time it had heard that, and while it had begun to learn how to take advantage of it (since most trainers scrambled to try catch it as fast as possible and therefore were more prone to make errors), it was still unsettling and stressful. It had been a close call many times in the past, especially since its shiny coat made it stand out and an easy target. Some if its kin had even taken advantage of food being unguarded when all attention fell on it, unfortunately it was everyone for themselves so they rarely had shared with it afterwards. It often preferred to scrounge for food on its own, and today it had really hit jackpot! This forgotten sandwich, which most importantly had been forgotten and therefore free for it to just pick up and enjoy, at least until it got disturbed. The rat wasn't a fan of the two who faced it, mostly because they were loud and they disturbed its lunch. "Then let me eat in peace!" It squeaked annoyed as it was certain they were not going to listen to a word it said, why even try? Riolu was about to disappear under ground again and the rat rushed at her in a blur and sent her tumbling over the ground, before she collected herself and disappeared in time to dodge the second attempted attack. The rat jumped around nervously as it tried to guess from where she would appear, but then decided it was not worth it and abandoned its half-eaten prize to run to safety. It got almost to the undergrowth where it could have disappeared never to be seen again, when Riolu erupted from the ground and sent it flying. It was in for a rough landing and laid still afterwards, ripe for picking by Clem's pokeball which sucked it inside. ![](https://www.serebii.net/blackwhite/pokemon/447.png) Riolu grows +2 levels to [Lv 9]!

In that moment, Clem was truly over the moon. Not only had she managed to capture a real life shiny Pokemon, but she and Riolu won their very first battle together. "Yay! Alright! We did it, Riolu! I'd say this is a really good sign, wouldn't you?! We're gonna be the best duo this world has ever seen! I just know it!" Clementine happily cheered, raising her fists in the air as high as they could go, and jumping up and down. All the while, the Pokeball containing the shiny Rattata transported itself to Clem's PC, and Riolu removed the Muscle Band from around her head. If the blue, bipedal puppy was being honest, she did feel a sense of accomplishment at this outcome herself.
In fact, Riolu was in such a good mood, that she didn't rain on Clem's parade this time. Rather, she just crumpled the Muscle Band up into a ball, tossed it back into Clem's bag, then addressed her trainer in a slightly more respectful tone of voice than usual. "Yeah, yeah. It's a very happy occasion. But ya know what would be an even happier occasion? Us finally winning our first badge. So, c'mon, zombie. Let's head to the next city. I doubt we'll get lucky enough to find another shiny here anyway, so this place has become boring." The Fighting type Pokemon turned right around, and began to head for Cherrygrove City, to which Clem immediately stopped jumping, smiled at her companion, then quickly followed her lead to their next destination. "I'm right behind you, Riolu! Our next adventure awaits!"
OOC: Oh, did I? Oh well. Still got the shiny Rattata, and that's the important thing. I'll just leave its stats blank and have it sent over to Clem's PC. And as for Riolu, I will have her learn Metal Claw, forgetting Endure in its place. I'll also return Riolu's Muscle Band to Clem's inventory, and I'll take care of both of those things with my technician powers. Thanks.
