As Patrick scored a direct hit on the Growlithe the fire type was knocked out in a single blow. The Surf did not clear up as much of the dust as Marchbaby had hoped but just as the battle ended the storm started to break and the humid sun started to shine through. The change of weather would make finding the Pokemon he was after a bit harder but it also meant that Zap and Patrick no longer had to worry about being pelted by the blowing sand making it easier to train both of them. Marchbaby was happy about that at least as he wanted to see how well Zap could handle herself in a battle.
" Mama it looks like you will get a bit of a break for now unless we run into what we are after, Zap and Patrick really need to train and this weather is perfect for both of them." As he let both Pokemon stay out to enjoy the nice weather he still wanted to try and find the one Pokemon that was not going to stick around forever and if he wanted to have any hope of finding it standing around like a bump on a log was not going to help in any way.
" Alright everyone let's keep looking, I have no idea where it may be hiding but it has to be around here somewhere." Zap and Patrick then took the lead looking under every rock and in every bush they saw trying to find any sign of the elusive Pokemon. The unobstructed view was certainly nice as the previous sandstorm had made seeing anything hard so if they did encounter what they were after it would not be able to use the weather to hide. Just as Marchbaby started coming up with a plan of how to proceed if he did get lucky a noise in the distance caught his attention.
" I do not know what that was but whatever it was it was loud. Let's go have a look and see if it is what we are looking for." He then ran towards the noise as Zap and Patrick followed him closely while poor Mama had to fly to keep up as her legs were not strong enough to keep up with the group. She hoped whatever it was it was something she would not have to help with so she could get an extended break.
OOC: Looking for another daytime route 37 encounter.

Just as Marchbaby was about to give up hope of encountering the Pokemon said to be swarming in the area the sound of an engine gave him renewed hope. Seconds later one of the strangest looking Pokemon he had ever seen had appeared in front of him and he was filled with glee." This must be the Pokemon I heard about on the radio. It certainly fits the description they provided. I looks like this one wants to race right now." Though he would love to see how fast the engine Pokemon could go for now he was more interested in capturing it to add to his ever growing collection.
The one thing going through his mind at this moment was which Pokemon he should use to keep Varoom occupied long enough for him to grab and toss his last remaining Quick Ball before the steel type, race happy steel type could make a getaway. Being so fast and needing the experience Patrick seemed to fit the bill quite well as it could "race" thr Varoom for a short time so it would never expect a track hazard bringing the race to an end early. He then looked at Patrick and whispered the plan to the young Starmie so it would know what to do.
" Patrick can you keep this Varoom busy for a bit by pretending to race against it? You won't even need to launch an attack if my.plan works out. Since you resist steel type moves it should not be able to do too much to you if my plan does somehow fail. Hopefully it doesn't come to that." He then watched as Patrick lined up next to the Varoom ready to start a race. As the two got ready to start Marchbaby started digging through his disaster of a backpack to find his last Quick Ball so he could make use of it.
After a few seconds of digging he found it right before the two Pokemon could start the race. He slowly crept up on the Varoom until he was close enough to be able to toss the ball and then he tossed it as hard as he could hoping his plan would pan out. As it flew towards Varoom the Quick Ball made a loud whooshing noise hurdling towards it at breakneck speed." I really hope this works, I have no idea when I will be able to get more Quick Balls." He said under his breath while waiting for the results.
OOC: March tosses a Quick Ball. Leaving it in his inventory for now for verification.

As soon as the Quick Ball clicked shut Marchbaby was filled with relief his plan had worked. He wasn't sure how much longer they would keep swarming but he had caught at least one no matter how bad his luck might be for the duration of the swarm. He was quite intrigued by Varoom's strange features and build and he could hardly wait to examine his further once he returned to a Pokemon Center. Until he was able to do so however he hoped he could run into more so he could give one to Kevin and have a few more to trade with others. " Let's keep looking to see if we can find any more of them hanging around here. I am sure our new friend would like some company. Speaking of which I need to come up with a nickname for them." He hardly had to think for more than a moment before an idea had popped into his head given how much Varoom seemed to love racing around. " I think I will call her Piston, hopefully we can try her out soon since I do not have many POkemon from the Paldea region." While he continued to plan out how to fit the young steel type onto his team Patrick was spinning around celebrating their victory in the single participant race. The Starmie still had a long way to go but it was getting stronger each passing moment and it already had the moves it needed to help with the next gym. All Patrick needed was to keep gaining levels until it was able to provide it with the power needed. Marchbaby did not know much about the next gym leader except that they specialized in fighting types and his team was not currently strong against them at all. A third of his team were weak to them and only Patrick could do super effective damage to them without losing the bonus damage from being of the same type. " Before we take on the next gym I really need to make some changes to this team lineup as fighting types will be quite hard to be. Maybe Salem and Maris will finally get a chance to shine after all this time." He whispered to himself as he tried to focus on everything going through his mind at the moment. One thing was for sure and that was he needed to do a far better job balancing his team to prevent a single type from being a huge threat to his team. OOC: Looking for another encounter. VaroomName: Piston Gender: Female Level: 28 OT: David "Marchbaby" Wolfgang Moves: Gyro Ball, Headbutt, Screech, Iron Head Ability: Overcoat Nature/Personality: Adamant, Piston is a hard headed Pokemon with a love of racing. She is quite noisy and is not afraid of making her presence known to others.

A small hyrax crawled out of the tall grasses as though she was searching for something. Hm? A Wild Nidorina appeared! Level 28. What will Marchbaby do? Shiny? YJGHKQEGp_1-42 Pokemon: (rare) p_1-6 (uncommon) p_1-3 (mon) p_1-2

As the Nidorina made her presence known Marchbaby was quite happy as he still needed to capture one for his Pokedex and it would be a great sparring partner for Stella who was usually too slow to use against most opponents. She was still a bit slower than a Nidorina but at least not too a large degree and the Camerupt had yet to truly test her skills after evolving. Like Patrick she also needed to catch up with the rest of Marchbaby's team and on top of all of that she should be able to hold back just enough not to knock the poor thing out in one turn so long as luck did not work against them again.
" Well I'll be, I have been hoping to add a Nidorina to our group for a while now to give Sploot company. I highly doubt you will come along without a battle first but I do hope I can convince you to join us. Stella come on over and spar with this Nidorina please. She shouldn't be too much faster than you. Try to avoid knocking her out if you can as there is no telling how long it will take to run into another of her species." As soon as he gave the order the fiery camel walked forward and started to build up the lava within her body. The temperature around her started to rise to dangerous levels as she approached and Marchbaby carefully observed from a distance not wanting to become a pile of liquid on the floor.
Once Stella was close enough to her target Marchbaby gave her the order to strike while looking for anything tall enough to duck behind so he did not get hit by any loose lava and Stella fired it off." Everyone I suggest you find a very large boulder or a dragon type to hide behind as Camerupt lava is no joke. Even the mightiest steel will melt if hit by it. Stella fire away with your Lava Plume so we can see how powerful you have become." Stella having received her orders finally started to spew her lava all over the place as Marchbaby and the rest of his team took cover behind anything they could find except for Mama. As she loved hot temperatures she was not bothered by the heat from Stella's Lava Plume in the slightest but rather thought the heat from it felt quite nice.
OOC: Stella uses Lava Plume.

The wild nidorina sensed the danger. Like any wild animal that found its senses plagued by the sensation that the very earth was about to rip open and rain fire upon them, she tensed, ready to bolt for cover until she determined the source of the danger. There. That strange fire-type clearly was to blame for this feeling. <Don't come any closer!> she snarled, instantly on edge, scattering toxic spikes around her in a protective semi circle. She turned, ready to bolt now that she had defenses up, but alas, that powerful plague of fire did rain. In a single blast of lava that seared and burbled, the nidorina was nearly struck down, yipping a warning to any who could hear her!

As Nidorina spread a layer of Toxic Spikes across the battlefield Stella had to watch where she stepped to make sure she did not set any off. She was able to avoid them as she fired off her Lava Plume scoring a direct hit leaving the Nidorina in quite rough shape but also leaving Marchbaby in a awkward position as none of his Pokemon could safely cause more damage to the young poison type without knocking her out but at the same time having no other way to make Nidorina easier to catch. About now he was really wishing he had some dusk balls or timer balls on hand to increase his odds even further.
" Impressive, not many Pokemon can endure a direct hit from a Camerupt Lava Plume from such close range, I see you avoided getting burned as well so catching you will still take a bit of luck. Still I have a number of Ultra Balls to spare and you are well worth taking a few risks to try and convince you to join me." Marchbaby then turned to Stella who was more than ready to fire off another Lava Plume before he called the fiery camel off for the time being. He had no question in his mind she would win the battle with another hit but that was not his goal this time around.
" Stella please stand by for the time being, if I need your help again I will let you know but you have certainly done a great job." As Stella walked back next to him Marchbaby grabbed two Ultra Balls from his backpack just in case the first one did not work. He hoped they would be all he would need but he kept the rest close by just in case his usual rotten string of luck struck again. As he watched the young poison type still standing across from him he admired her bravery seeing so much potential in her and wanted to help her grow even stronger by traveling together.
" I just so happen to have a way to help you grow even stronger if you come along, this Moon Stone I have has your name on it. Imagine how much more powerful you will be as a mighty Nidoqueen if you join me. Sploot joining you as a Nidoking will make you quite a fearsome pair. I sincerely hope you accept my offer without fighting back as I would love for you to join me." He then tossed the first Ultra Ball getting the second ready to go just in case Nidorina broke out of the first one.
OOC: March tosses a Ultra Ball and tries a second Ultra Ball if the first fails.

As the Ultra Ball clicked shut Marchbaby was so happy the Nidorina had decided to join him. Though he did not have a lot of time to spare he did want to make use of the two Moon Stones he had on him and as he wanted to evolve both the Nidorina and Sploot at the same time he quickly rushed to the nearest Pokemon Center to place Patrick and Stella in his box long enough to take the poison types out to evolve them both. Once he had both in his party he sent both Pokemon out before walking up to them and handing each of them a Moon Stone.
Within a second they both started to glow bright white before their forms started to change. It was not long until their evolution was complete and Sploot had evolved into Nidoking and Nidorina had evolved into Nidoqueen. Marchbaby was thrilled to be staring at two powerful Pokemon and looked forward to seeing what they both could do once he was finished training Mama and Stella. Sploot even learned Megahorn and Nidoqueen learned Superpower upon evolving making the investment even more worthwhile. For now he placed both back into his box and took Stella and Patrick back out so that he could continue training both alongside Mama.
Once his business with the Pokemon Center was complete he headed back to route 37 to keep looking for other Pokemon to add to his team since he was sure he had more to find there and if any more of the strange Pokemon he had captured were around he certainly would not turn down the chance to get a breeding pair. As he walked down the route the sun was shining overhead and the heat was quite strong. Not quite enough to weaken water type attacks but enough to cause problems for anyone without something to drink.
As he continued down the path he could hear a commotion from a distance away and started walking towards it hoping to find out what it was. Before he could reach the source however one of the nearby trees started to shake and he paused to investigate. There was not much wind but he was still not sure if what little there was had caused the rustling or something else. He then decided to have Stella attack the tree with Stomping Tantrum to see if anything would fall out of the tree.
OOC: Sploot evolves into Nidoking using a Moon Stone and forgets Peck to learn Megahorn. Nidorina evolves into Nidoqueen using a Moon Stone forgetting Scratch to learn Superpower. Leaving both Moon Stones so it can be verified but updating the rest. Looking for another daytime route 37 encounter.

The tree did rustle a lot, although if looking closely it didn't really look like something was moving around inside the treetop, but like someone was standing beside it and pulled at it. A stantler had been rubbing its antlers against the bark, and had managed to get them stuck in a low hanging branch. It's attempts to pull them free, made the tree shake. It stomped frustrated and then Stella joined in, set the earth shaking and rustling all the branches. While it did free the stantler, it also sent a lot of other branches raining down on the normal type, some rather heavy ones, and it snorted annoyed as it glared at her. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/stantler.png) Stanler [Lv 20] is free from the trees, but is not very pleased with the way.

As the Stantler was hit the the heavy branches that fell out of the tree Marchbaby could tell very quickly it was not in a very good mood. The deer Pokemon had given Stella a very disapproving look and it did not seem like trying to calm it down was going to be very likely. The other glaring issue at hand was that Stella was never going to outpace it in a battle as Camerupt were not known for their speed at all. Any hope Marchbaby had of using her to start the battle were quickly dashed however he still had a plan to hopefully make keeping up with it easier.
" Stella take a rest for now, at it's current speed that Stantler will run a marathon around you before you can hit it once. Mama could you help me out here? I do believe you should be able to slow it down a bit before we make any other decisions." As the young dragon flew in front of him she looked at the deer Pokemon with plenty of curiosity. The long antlers looked like they could pack a punch and the hooves on it could stop most small Pokemon flat. The one thing it lacked was wings which Mama quickly realized would give her the edge in speed as she started to hover after a few moments.
" Mama be careful around this Stantler, it can hit pretty hard and your defenses are not the greatest. Could you try your Bulldoze on it please? That should help make it more manageable to outpace. It should be a weak enough move that we do not knock it out by mistake either." Shortly after receiving her orders Mama started to build up a pile of dirt she pushed along the ground using her head as she hovered just off of the ground while making her way towards the large deer Pokemon across from her. Due to the humid weather there was plenty of dirt to be found and in very little time she was able to build a large enough mound to cover the Stantler's legs up to their knees once she was in range.
After a few seconds of pushing the mound she was in range and Marchbaby watched hoping his plan would pan out. If not he might have to rely on Vör to make the deer to calm down before it could cause too much harm.
OOC: Mama uses Bulldoze. Vör is holding a Cleanse Tag so Stantler should be level 28 when the battle starts.
