Tyler reached route 32 after quite a long walk with half his team absolutely exhausted from marching the whole way. He had not given any of them a break as he wanted to push each to their limits to see which ones he could weed out from the group. Blitz, Fangs, Jamjars, and Bolt had done well keeping up but Hoot and Defibrillator he struggled as neither was strong enough to go on such a long hike. The good news for both was that now that they had reached the area of their search they would not have to travel quite as fast as they had been going.
On the other hand they all knew Tyler would have them battle whatever popped out even if it was the Pokemon he wanted to try and capture. Before any of the Pokemon would get a chance to do so however Tyler had remembered Chomper had been holding the Cleanse Tag he would need so he made his way to the Pokemon Center to take it from him and gave it to Blitz as the Magnemite was the most trustworthy Pokemon he had on his team. As Blitz also resisted the ongoing dust storm it aalong with Jamjars were also the least likely to misplace it in this weather. He also took the Blackglasses off of Mania and gave them to Fangs for now to boost her dark type attacks power.
" Blitz keep a firm grip on that Cleanse Tag, if you lose it you will wish you were never born. As for you Fangs if you lose those Blackglasses Mania will probably hunt you down to the ends of the earth. She loves those things so do not lose them if you don't want a Zoroark to hold a grudge against you." Once his team was all set he made his way to the start of route 32 in the middle of the night to search for his target. All of his Pokemon were quite nervous either from the weather or from making Tyler mad so they all did their best not to get lost in the storm.
As soon as Tyler heard a nearby bush shake he jumped into action ready to strike whatever popped out unless it was the Pokemon he was after. As much as he wanted to beat even his target into submission he did not want to knock out whatever it was as he did not want a long hunt on his hands.
OOC: Blitz is now holding the Cleanse Tag Chomper was holding and Fangs is now holding the Blackglasses Mania was holding. Updating myself. Looking for a nightitme encounter on route 32.

A small plant is trying to stop Tyler in his tracks! It's warning him that there's reports of Team Rocket in the area and wants Tyler to be safe. A Wild Bellsprout Appeared! Level 12. What will Tyler and his team do? Shiny? EB4wXouMp_1-42 Pokemon: (post-gym) p_1-6 (rare) p_1-5 (uncommon) p_1-3 (mon) p_1-3

Bellsprout was about as far from the Pokemon he was hunting for as one could possibly get but he could not deny that a part poison type would fit perfectly on Team Rocket and that it would make for great target practice for Defibrillator who not only needed practice in case Tyler took her along on his next mission but also in general as she was so close to evolving. Tyler was quite curious to see how well a Pawmi could handle itself when it had a type disadvantage and though the level gap would help Defibrillator out in this case she was certainly at a type disadvantage.
He also had anterior motives for using her as her Nuzzle attack would paralyze any foe she put her muzzle on and a paralyzed Bellsprout would be far easier to capture than it would be to try and capture a healthy one. " Defibrillator you just volenteered to help me out here. Though Bellsprout is not high on my capture priority list since it is right here we might as well add one to our collection. I want you to give our new friend here a nice greeting with that shocking muzzle of yours with Nuzzle. Once you do that I will get an Ultra Ball ready."
Upon receiving her orders the young Pawmi walked towards the Bellsprout muzzle straight out and got closer to the Bellsprout. As she did she started to build up a small charge in her muzzle ready to give the Bellsprout a small shock. Tyler had found a Ultra Ball right before Defibrillator could get in range and he got ready to toss his Ultra Ball hoping that Bellsprout would not put up much of a fight after getting a nice little shock. He did not think it would but he knew Bellsprout could get pretty mean if triggered so he did not want to let his guard down for a moment.
" I am all set here, any time you want to strike is fine by me. Just make sure Bellsprout does not try and trick you and watch out for those vines. They can be nasty if they smack you." Tyler then watched as Defibrillator started to discharge the small amount of electric charge she had built up. Before even seeing the results of the attack he tossed an Ultra Ball hoping that Bellsprout would go into the ball without a fuss.
OOC: Defibrillator uses Nuzzle then Tyler tosses a Ultra Ball.

As soon as the battle came to a close Defibrillator started to glow in a bright white light before quickly changing shape and size before suddenly completing the process evolving into Pawmo. On top of her now standing on her hind legs her arms grew quite a bit bigger and she became a bit chunkier as well though she somehow was able to move faster despite the added flab. On top of all of that she had gained the fighting type to go along with her electric type and as soon as Tyler realized this he smiled as she would make a great partner for Fenrir as they could double team an normal types they encountered. " Well this is a nice surprise, Defibrillator you picked up a bit of chubbiness there so you might need to slack off on the kibble but otherwise you do look tougher. Those arms look like they could give a Lucario a run for their money with a bit more work. Maybe I will have Fenrir teach you a few things when we get a chance, nothing beats getting put through a few walls to toughen you up even more." Though he could never admit it to her face Tyler was actually impressed that she had done her job perfectly and her Nuzzle attack could be a goldmine for capturing tough Pokemon later on in his journey. For now however Tyler's mind was focused on both finding the Pokemon he was after and trying to nickname the skinny, brainless Bellsprout he had just captured. It's slim build and seemingly distinct dislike of Team Rocket made her perfect to use as an example to any Pokemon that gave Tyler a hard time. " I think we will call our new friend Spineless, not only will I make her love Team Rocket by the time I am done with her I will make any of you who show fear feel quite spineless whenever I am done with you." Having gotten his point across he watched as Defibrillator thrusting her arms against the air and he recognized it as the attack Arm Thrust and that she had apparently learned how to use her fangs she she tried to Bite Blitz when they tried to get close enough to see how much stronger she had become. Though she was still tiny compared to some other Pokemon Blitz had seen Defibrillator was no pushover and was not about to let anyone come close to her. Tyler was quite impressed by her newfound bravery and looked forward to what else she might be able to do to anyone dumb enough to make her mad. She was very much living up to her species well known love of battling and willingness to protect themselves and others. " I bet you could act as a great distraction to a younger trainer to let their guard down, anyone who does so fully deserves a fist to their face, I love seeing that fighting spirit in you. Right now you are in first place for making the team, the question is who else wants it bad enough and will anyone overtake you? Right now my money is on you making the cut with those buff arms of yours." Before he could say anything else a noise in the distance caught his attention and all of his Pokemon got ready in case they would get a chance to show off. Defibrillator was the first to get into position as she wanted to test out her new attacks and grow strong as well and Jamjars who was totally clueless as to what was happening tried to figure out where his master was. OOC: Looking for another encounter. Defibrillator has 600/6000 words needed to evolve. Defibrillator evolves and learns Bite and Arm Thrust by forgetting Charge and Quick Attack. Her Ability changes to Volt Absorb. BellsproutName: Spineless Gender: Female Level: 12 OT: Tyler "Ace" Wolfgang Moves: Vine Whip, Growth, Wrap Ability: Chlorophyl Nature/Personality: Adamant, a tough tough not very smart Pokemon. Spineless has a deep hatred of Team Rocket. Unfortunately for her after being captured by Tyler she has no choice other than to help advance their goals or risk bodily harm for failing to do so.

Tiny little slug waves its strange protrusions at Tyler. Are you friend or foe? I need to know! A Wild Shellos appeared! Level 12. What will Tyler do? Shiny? 5zP6Bl0ip_1-42 Pokemon: (post-gym) p_1-6 (rare) p_1-5 (uncommon) p_1-3 (mon) p_1-2

Tyler sighed as the Shellos waved at him as on the one had he did need one for his Pokedex but on the other hand it wasn't a species he had much respect for nor the space for on his team. On the other hand he could always capture this one to have it and then raise the useless slug whenever he had time to get it off the list of Pokemon he still needed and then sell it to some idiot who was too lazy or incompetent to do the same. As much as he hated to use a Ultra Ball he figured once Shellos evolved he could more than turn a profit on the mouth breathing reject making it worth his initial investment.
Before he would even try to capture the slug however he wanted to soften the creature up a bit and Defibrillator's Nuzzle had proven such a useful move last time he could not pass up the chance to try it again. Getting to see a dumb slug get a jolt from her muzzle would just be a nice bonus as a water type such as Shellos would not enjoy even the weakest of jolts from an electric type any day of the weak. He quickly snapped his fingers after pointing at the chubby electric type to get her attention. As she walked forward unsure of what Tyler had planned he started to explain his plan to her so there was no way she could misunderstand.
" You impressed me last time Defibrillator so let's see if you can do it again. I want you to use Nuzzle on this moronic Pokemon known as Shellos. They are dumb, slow, and ugly but their mud based attacks could give you some trouble if they catch you off guard so make sure you strike before it can." Once the young Pawmo had received her orders she started to walk towards her next victim with a smile on her face. She wanted to give no sign that she feared for her life if she let Tyler down and as she approached the pink slug she started to build up another weak charge in her muzzle to give her poor foe a nasty little gift.
While Tyler waited to see if Defibrillator would go two for two on her success streak he grabbed an Ultra Ball and got ready to toss it at his victim.
OOC: Defibrillator uses Nuzzle then Tyler tosses a Ultra Ball.

Did the curious shellos ever stand a chance? Between this dust storm and its own foolish prying, it sealed its fate with one little noodling poke and prod. The pawmo was suddenly upon it, cheeks sparking, all big and ominous with powerful limbs and electric tendancies. The slug warbled and wiggled, trying to back away, but alas, that proved impossible. A few moments later, a sparking cheek pressed to its side and sent electric jolts through its squishy, sluggy body. The shellos shivered then stiffened up, unable to properly undulate to move. Retaliation? What was that. It could do nothing but resign itself to its fate as it sat there, easily ensared by the ball that flew its way. Pawmot gained +1 LV and grew to LV 20 (-1 ultra ball) [img src="https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bwani/shellos.gif"]https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/itemicons/ultra-ball.png [b]Shellos/b] Name: [choose] Gender: [choose] Level: 12 OT: Tyler "Ace" Wolfgang Moves: Water Gun, Mud Slap, Recover, Water Pulse Ability: Sticky Hold OR Storm Drain Nature/Personality: [choose]

As the Shellos was captured with minimal resistance Tyler started to laugh at the poor creature. It had proven to be just as weak as he had thought it would be though Defibrillator had certainly done her part beautifully. Her Nuzzle had been bearing fruit with each use so far and Tyler knew it would be a move he would keep with her for quite some time to give anyone who put their nose where it did not belong a painful jolt. Defibrillator was quite pleased with herself as well as she had grown even stronger and was inching her way towards evolving into her final form which Tyler was quite eager to have her reach.
He was no expert on Pawmot by any stretch of the imagination but he looked forward to learning more once Defibrillator evolved again. By now she was miles ahead of the competition and unless something drastic changed it would be a battle for second place as she was very close to locking in her spot. Tyler wished he had enough to afford a technical machine for Thunderpunch to make her an even more dangerous threat but deep down he was going to make things work out no matter how much being broke interfered with his plans.
" I really need to start selling some of my haul soon so I won't have to steal purses from grandma's to get by. My wallet has more cobwebs than cash right now and that will not do if we are to rise in the ranks of Team Rocket. The next gym leader we come across I will mug them for everything they own to prove my point as I am sure they are loaded. Maybe beat a few bucks out of some rich businessmen while I am at it as well." As he continued to plan ways to build up his bank account the horrible weather was doing no favors for most of his team. As much as Tyler wanted to mug a trainer to make a quick buck doing so in this weather was unlikely to pay off.
Having realized few people with any functioning brain cells would be out in this weather he continued to look for something else to battle to pass the time. Tyler could only hope the weather would improve soon so that he could find a few poor saps to mug when the time was right.
OOC: Looking for a new night encounter on route 32.

As Tyler saw a Wooper up ahead he was actually kind of surprised to see something that actually could handle this kind of weather in these parts. Whether or not it had any brain cells that functioned was still up for debate but it was certainly not the most useless Pokemon on the planet. His usual strategy of having Defibrillator use Nuzzle would not work in this case however as Wooper were immune to any amount of electricity under most circumstances. While that fact was a minor setback it had no such protection from being pummeled by a mountain of dirt and Tyler quickly got an idea.
" Hey Jamjars, didn't my worthless brother teach you Bulldoze? I think that will actually be quite helpful in this battle. You are weak to water types so this should be a good first test of your skills working for me instead of that fool. If you do well enough I might just keep you for myself." He then watched as the young DIglett quickly sped in front of him and stopped a few feet away from the Wooper. It was hard to tell if the Wooper had any idea what he had planned but Tyler was quite eager to push the young DIglett to grow stronger.
Jamjars was a pretty frail POkemon like most other Diglett so Tyler knew he would only be able to take a few hits at most without being knocked out. The level gap between him and the Wooper would help and the weather would not impact either Pokemon negatively but he still wanted to avoid a drawn out battle as he still wanted to keep hunting for the food addicted Pokemon he had heard about." Alright, enough stalling, Jamjars time to earn your keep with that Bulldoze now, I will get an Ultra Ball ready to try and capture this Wooper afterwards as I might be able to make a small profit off of it."
Jamjars then started to build up a large mountain of dirt in front of him before pushing it towards the Wooper at high speed. The mound was so high the young Diglett could not see over it but Tyler still was sure that DIglett's ability to sense movement on the ground would be enough to keep track of the small water fish Pokemon. If nothing else it would give him a goal to train Jamjars with should the young DIglett disappoint him.
OOC: Jamjars uses Bulldoze. If Wooper is not knocked out Tyler tosses a Ultra Ball.

As soon as the Wooper was captured Tyler was quite glad that battle was over. Jamjars had done pretty well considering he had never battled being commanded by Tyler before and for a Pokemon raised by his brother. As for the Wooper Tyler did not have any plans at the moment for it so as the ball was transferred to his box he continued to focus on his hunt for the Pokemon he had heard about. He also wanted to continue training his team so that he could finally undertake his next mission as he was so close to earning a uniform after all this time.
" A shame none of you know Whirlwind to blow away this sandstorm, I can barely see a thing out here. The sooner we find what we are looking for the better. With weather like this it might have already ran off as I doubt it would be able to handle this mess for a prolonged period." He then wiped his eyes as the sand continued to blow without mercy looking for any sign that their target had not chosen to flee. As he could barely make heads or toes of anything Tyler decided to have Blitz try and attract something to them with it's Flash hoping the bright light produced by the move would be too good to pass up.
" Blitz I have a job for you, I would like you to signal to anything around here with your Flash, such a bright attack should be able to pierce through this sandstorm and attract something to our location. It is more effective than wondering through this mess. If this doesn't work we will really need to get creative to track our target any further." He then watched as the young Magnemite started to send out a series of flashes signaling anything nearby. The brightness of the attack was quite impressive and if anything was nearby Tyler knew they would have to come and check it out.
While he waited he searched through his inventory hoping something useful might be able to help but nothing he had would assist him at the moment. As broke as he was he knew another trip to the Pokemart was in the cards soon so he could grab some lures and some better technical machines to strengthen his team. There was no way he could take on a mission while being so woefully underequipped.
OOC: Looking for another encounter. Blitz is holding a Cleanse Tag.

As soon as Tyler saw the Budew he knew there was something special about it. After taking a closer look the small purple wrapping just below it's face gave it away that this was a shiny member of it's species and though it was not the species he was after he knew they could ultimately evolve into Roserade that would be a great fit in missions where poisoning the targets was an option. Being a shiny also increased it's value quite a bit and unlike the shiny Poochyena he knocked out by mistake way back a Budew would have far greater usefulness overall.
" Why hello there, a grass type being out in this weather must have a few screws loose, a shiny one even more so. I could use a rare specimen like yourself and have no doubt you will make a great member of our organization. First we need to get you out of this storm and Defibrillator here can help you with that. You might feel a small shock but it should not hurt for too long." He then snapped his fingers to summon the rodent to his side. She tried her best to cover her eyes from the storm as she waited to see what he wanted.
It was not easy to shield herself at all as electric types were not fans of dirt at all and getting smacked left and right by it was not a pleasant experience for her. AT the same time she was strong enough to toughen it out for a short while which was all that Tyler needed her to do so that they could secure their new friend before it made off like a bandit trying to escape. As a large grin covered Tyler's face he finally gave the young Pawmo her orders as she stood ready for a battle.
" Defibrillator please use Nuzzle on our new friend to soften them up a bit. They are a pretty fragile species so we do not want to hurt it too much. Once it is stunned I will capture it so we can keep up our search for what we are really after." He then started to search though his backpack for a Ultra Ball as Defibrillator got ready to strike at her foe. Tyler's only worry was that he would miscalculate how much damage the young grass type could take but only time would tell.
OOC: Defibrillator uses Nuzzle then Tyler tosses a Ultra Ball.
