Upon reaching Ecruteak City Marcbaby had realized he had forgotten to add the newly captured Flaaffy to his team and he sought to rectify that mistake as he made his way to the Ecruteak Pokemon Center to deposit Tumbles the Bramblin and add his new pink menace. The sheep Pokemon was already pretty high level and he had a feeling she must be close to evolving so putting her on his team was a no brainer. Once that was out of the way he made his way to route 37 to investigate what he had recently heard on the radio to see if the rumors of a strange sighting were true.
By the time he reached the start of the route the sun was completely masked by a horrible dust storm that made moving even a small distance a true nightmare except for Pokemon who liked sandy conditions. If the perfect weather for Mama existed this was it as her strange eyes and ground typing could easily see through all the dust and debris without issue." Mama you will have to lead the way for us. Our new friend will not do good in this weather so my plans to train her will have to go on hold. On the other hand this weather is perfect to train you in as sandstorms are a perfect condition for a Vibrava such as yourself."
Mama had no trouble at all as she slowly walked along the path not so much as flinching as sand and debris blew all around her. The poor weather conditions would likely chase most Pokemon off but if the rumors were true the one he was after would likely enjoy this kind of weather as well. " I cannot begin to comprehend how any Pokemon can endure weather like this but you make it look easy Mama. Most dragons would get blinded or pelted half to death within minutes. You might not have the power of a Salamence or Dragonite overall but neither would handle this weather as well as you. Only a Garchomp would do better in a situation like this."
Just then Marchbaby heard a noise and got ready in case a fight was about to break out. It would be far too easy to get ambushed in weather like this and he was not about to let his guard down for even a moment until he knew the danger had passed.
OOC: Tumbles is getting replaced by Flaaffy in March's party and updating myself. Looking for a daytime encounter on route 37.

The sandstorm whipped around Marchbaby, stinging his eyes with windblown grit. A low growl cut through the howling wind, and a menacing shape emerged from the swirling sand. It was a Nidorino, its horn glinting wickedly in the dim light. Its beady eyes narrowed at Marchbaby, and it let out a furious roar, challenging his presence on its territory.

Even in the poor lighting conditions Marchbaby easily recognized that growl of the approaching Nidorino and knew that if he wasn't careful he might end up having a meeting with the business end of the poison types venomous horn. He knew they were quite territorial and that their venom could bring down a human very quickly without medical attention however he also knew they were weak to both psychic and ground type attacks and as Mama was part dragon type she was the perfect counter for such a beast especially given the awful weather currently swirling around the battlefield. After taking a moment to examine the Nidorino for another Moment he ordered Mama forward.
" Mama my dear it does appear that our first encounter is not the one I was truly hoping for however it is still the perfect target for you. As much as I would love to test out your Outrage attack again Nidorino are weak to your ground type attacks and it is the perfect foe to practice one of them on. Usually I would have you try and use Dig but the Soft Sand you are holding should make Bulldoze more powerful and I want you to get some practice with that move instead." He then watched as Mama slowly walked forward and starred to scoop up a mound of dirt before pushing it towards Nidorino.
Vibrava were not a fast species by any stretch of the imagination and Mama was no exception however he did remember from the Nidorino that he had captured in the Safari Zone that they were not very fast either and likely would not be able to keep up with Mama even if they were the same level as her. Still he kept his eyes open just in case it tried anything funny before Mama could strike so that he could warn her of any approaching danger. The sooner he could end this battle and continue his search the better and taking advantage of Mama's type would only help speed up the battle so he could get onto the next encounter as soon as possible.
" Mama do be careful just in case, I do not think a Nidorino will prove a huge danger to you but it doesn't hurt to keep your guard up." He then watched as Mama got close enough to her target to strike as he eagerly awaited the results. The sooner she could gain more experience and grow stronger the sooner she would finally evolve into a Flygon and unlock her true strength.
OOC: Mama uses Bulldoze, she is holding a Soft Sand to boost it's power.

As Mama made quick work of the Nidorino Marchbaby wanted to get back to his search as soon as possible. This weather was not going to make things any easier and the less time he had to waste trying to fight his way through the storm to find the Pokemon he was after the better. " Good work Mama, that was a quick battle, hopefully we have better luck with our next encounter. Even if we do not you are at least not bothered by this storm. " As then then continued down route 37 he could see the sun trying to break through the storm so he knew he had not lost much time dealing with the previous battle.
As they kept their eyes out for anything else Mama flapped her tiny wings to keep them clear in case she needed to use them against whatever came out of hiding. Though she had no problem with sand covering her she did not want to get slowed down if she needed to leap into action and it was one of the few things she was able to do to prevent herself from being slowed down by the storm. It was no easy task as the storm constantly blew more sand onto her but by flapping her wings nonstop she was able to keep most of the sand off of them.
" A shame your wings are not larger or else we might be able to blow this storm away. Still that is a great idea to keep those wings clear. They certainly help you reach your targets faster when you are using Crunch or Outrage. Keep your guard up but do not strike anything that leaps out yet. The Pokemon we are after has to be around here somewhere and we do not want to knock it out by mistake."
Just then a noise came from deeper within the storm and they went to investigate. The sand storm made it hard to hear and made strange noises all it's own so they could not tell if it was the storm playing tricks on their ears or if it was something ready to attack them but either case was better than just standing around. The target they were after would not wait around forever and the more time they could try and search for the Pokemon they were after the higher the odds they would get lucky.
OOC: Searching for another daytime encounter on Route 37.

As the Fletchinder flew towards Marchbaby through the storm he was quite surprised that one would be out in awful weather like this. They were pretty tough birds but they were not built for weather like this and he knew they would struggle to last long in a battle while getting pelted by the ongoing sandstorm. At the same time he knew that if one of his Pokemon could defeat it they would gain a lot of experience and that such an opportunity to make one of his Pokemon stronger was something he could not pass up. As much as he wanted to give Zap a chance to prove her strength he could not risk it in this weather.
" Mama it looks like you will have to handle this as well. Zap won't last long in this weather but you are built for a sandstorm like this." He then smiled as the young dragon stepped forward ready for another battle. She did not fear her foe at all as she continued to get closer and closer to her foe so that she could unleash her full strength against it. Once she was in range she waited for Marchbaby to give the order before making her attack.
" Mama it looks like you are in range now, your ground type moves will not work in this battle and Crunch won't do extra damage as you are not a dark type so it is time for you to unleash your Outrage. Prepare a second one as well just in case your first one is not strong enough to win." As soon as she heard her orders her temper started to flare up reaching a boiling point as she charged towards Fletchinder while flapping her wings violently. The display would have been cute to anyone not being targeted by the attack as Vibrava were usually not aggressive enough to make even Outrage look terrifying.
As he waited for the results of the firet round Marchbaby kept an eye out just in case something else popped out in the storm mid battle. The Pokemon he was truly after was still out there and if a battle was enough to draw out the one he was hunting he was more than happy to oblige. He had yet to see the slightest bit of evidence of their species being in the area but he was not ready to give up on his hunt if there was any hope of a lucky encounter.
OOC: Mama uses Outrage x2. Running shoes are exhausted for this battle.

As before Mama easily handled her foe with next to no danger to herself. Even as the sandstorm continued to swirl around without mercy she was not bothered in the slightest as she brushed off her wings yet again. She was quite pleased with this weather and so far it had been to her benefit with anything she had faced up to this point. Minus not finding the Pokemon they were truly after their search was bearing plenty of fruit as far as Mama getting some training in. Marchbaby was not thrilled by the sand continuing to hit him in the face but enduring it for Mama's sake was worth the short term discomfort the storm caused.
" Great work Mama, each and every victory brings you a little bit closer to evolving. Once you evolve into Flygon and unlock your true potential you will be quite a force on my team. I can hardly wait to see what you will be capable of when that day arrives." As he brushed some sand from his eyes he watched as Mama stretched out lifting her tail and in the air like a feline while the middle of her body sprawled out on the ground. Once she was properly aligned she looked at Marchbaby wondering what the pair would encounter next.
She had quite a bit of battling experience by now but she had still not battled every species known to appear on the route and if they did get lucky with finding the one they were after her fangs would be very useful to test out. They were no Tyrunt fangs but a Crunch from a Vibrava could still leave a mark while having a lower chance of knocking out their foe which was the last thing either wanted to do.
" Mama I have a feeling we have not ran out of luck yet. Let's keep looking and see what else we can find. I would love to see how you handle yourself against more species you are unfamiliar with." Just as he finished speaking a loud crash from quite a distance away gained their attention as they headed towards the source while battling the weather the whole way. Once they were close to where they believed the sound had originated from Mama stood ready to strike once they identified whatever was lurking in the area. While she stayed on guard Marchbaby had grabbed an Ultra Ball from his backpack just in case whatever appeared was worth trying to capture.

Marchbaby was quite surprised to see a second Fletchinder appear so quickly in such awful weather. Even in the best of weather route 37 was not the greatest area for them to call home but during a dust storm an avian that relied so heavily on fire type attacks could not be faring very well at all. As tempted as Marchbaby was to try and capture this one he really wanted to keep searching for the Pokemon he was truly after and so he like before had made up his mind to use the bird as a sparing partner for Mama as she had done such a great job against the previous one and like before the weather would not bother her in the slightest.
" Well if I was looking for additional Fletchinder I would have hit the jackpot recently. A shame I am not looking for them as they have certainly found me lately." He said as Mama stepped forward ready to attack the bird so she could grow stronger. Though her wings were not as well designed for flight as her foe they were great for boosting her speed especially with the storm pelting Fletchinder and likely drawling some of the bird's attention away from her. As Marchbaby was about to give his order for this round Mama already had a good idea of what to do as her temper started to build and her wings started to flap at a high rate of speed preparing to strike.
" I think you already know the plan here based off of your stace but just in case there was any doubt, use your Outrage on Fletchinder and prepare a second one just in case. The quicker we can get this over with the sooner we can keep looking. Our luck has still not been great but we cannot give up yet."
Seconds later Mama made a beeline dash for the Fletchinder with her mouth wide open and her wings beating so fast the dust around her started to swirl around like a tornado. As she got within range she slashed and chomped at her foe in every way possible unleashing the might of a dragon upon them doing her best to make sure the bird would not bother them any more. The sand blocked Marchbaby's vision of the events so all he could do was wait and see if Mama had succeeded in her assault again.
OOC: Mama uses Outrage x2.

As Mama made quick work of the unfortunate Fletchinder she quickly leaped into Marchbaby's backpack before the young dragon tamer had any chance to stop the young dragon from feasting on part of the Birthday Cake he had been saving. Thankfully she was not a Flygon yet or pulling her away before eating the whole thing would have been far harder. As the cake would not last long after being half smushed by Mama's frenzied snacking he cut the remaining parts into two slices. One piece went to Zap so should could evolve and handle the weather a bit better and the final piece he saved for Tumbles. As Zap bit into her slice she started to glow bright white as her body started to grow substantially in size. By the time the process was complete she had evolved into an Ampharos and quickly unleashed a Thunderpunch directed at Mama for having so little respect. Though the punch would usually hurt Mama absorbed the electricity and shook off the small fist that had hit her taking no damage from the young electric types assault. Marchbaby was quite relieved as he did not have to worry about the two getting into a scrap when this weather was bad enough. " Please get along you two, that Thunderpunch might prove quite useful Zap but don't use it on Mama again. Not only is she immune to shocks you are better at ranged fighting so even if you could hurt her it would not do much. Still it should work until we can teach you Thunderbolt like Shocker." He then made a quick detour to the Pokemon Center to give Tumbles her piece before getting back to his search. As he placed Patrick in his box for a moment he took the young Bramblin out and watched as she feasted on the last slice of Birthday Cake. She then started to glow as she started the evolution process as well. Once it was complete she had become what was known as Brambleghast and Marchbaby was thrilled to see her evolve as well. " Wow you grew quite a few thorns, I would not want to run into you on a windy day. I have a feeling you will be a big help in the next gym. After I finish training Zap a bit more I will be putting you to the test now that you are stronger." He then deposited Tumbles back into his box and made his way back to route 37 to keep looking for the Pokemon he was after. OOC: Marchbaby uses his Birthday Cake on Zap, Tumbles, and Mama. I will leave the cake to be verified but updating the levels and happiness of the three Pokemon. Tumbles grows to level 21 and evolves into Brambleghast as she has reached the word count requirement to evolve. She also has +1 happiness now. Zap grows to level 31 and learns Thunderpunch by forgetting Take Down and has +1 happiness with 0/2977 exp needed to level up. Mama grows to level 38 with 0/4447 exp needed to level up keeping her current moves and already has maximum happiness. Looking for another daytime encounter on route 37.

As Marchbaby noticed the approaching Growlithe he was relieved to get a break from the horde of FLetchinder he had been facing and was also glad to run into a species he knew a bit more about. His own Growlithe Flammenwerfer was still stuck in one of his boxes and seeing this one reminded him he still needed to raise her one of these days. It also gave him an idea as he knew they were not a super fast species and in this weather they would not fare very well unless they were the Hisuian version he had read about but never seen in real life.
He did know he could try and capture the young pup but given their stubborn nature and the weather doing so would not be an easy task and it made the perfect sparing partner for Patrick who really needed to catch up with the rest of his team. Even in this awful weather it's Surf attack would do wonders against a fire type and maybe clear up the storm for a bit before Marchbaby choked to death on all the blowing sand. Having made up his mind to battle the young Growlithe he took out Patrick's Ultra Ball and tossed it in front of the Growlithe.
Once Patrick got into a good position and finished stretching out Marchbaby gave his orders hoping the high speed Starmie were known for would make up for the level gap between it and the Growlithe. " Patrick I know this weather will not be a great experience for you but this Growlithe is perfect for you to face. I want you to try your Surf attack to both clean up this weather a bit and to hit Growlithe as hard as you can." Having received it's orders Patrick started to glow and dance like a maniac to summon a wall of water to use against Growlithe.
At first nothing happened as the dust continued to blow but soon a large wall of water started to form near the edges of the storm as the wave headed straight for the battlefield. The dust from the storm mixed with the water caused it to become a disgusting brown color similar to Muddy Water. It was not the prettiest sight but if his plan worked Marchbaby would not be too upset that this Surf was not the prettiest version of the attack he had seen.
OOC: Removed the Birthday Cake from March's inventory so I do not forget. Patrick uses Surf.
