What is Wrong with this Place!?!

[Fluffy]

Outside of the pokelab Lexy checked her pokedex she had gotten again, and grumbled. She knew that it wouldn't change no matter how many times she rechecked it. There just wasn't a single electric type native to this certain area. She sighed then decided to ask it another question. "Hey, pokedex thing! Are there any cute types around here?" The only response she got for that question was the screen glowing red with the words "Cute is not a known type." Lexy sighed again.

She reached into her pocket and pulled out the boring red and white ball, wishing it had been a fast ball, and released her new bulbasaur, Tyler, whom she had gotten the day before. She had spent the other day getting to know him a little, and had found that he didn't really think much before doing things. It was a definite bonus to his cute factor though when he was constantly getting into trouble. "Alright Tyler! Let's go find some cute pokemon!" She said, trying to find a good side to this electric lacking area.

There was a loud clash as a rubbish bin lid fell to the ground, followed by a tearing sound as a plastic bag was ripped apart by sharp claws. Next a clatter of an aluminium can and the thud of a glass bottle could be heard coming from an alley beside the Pokemon lab. A Pokemon was going through the garbage and all that was visible was a short curled tail protruding from an overturned bin.

Finally a head emerged and a Meowth, the ultimate opportunist, stood stroking its whiskers and regarded the object that it had taken out of the can. It was an apple with a bite taken out of it. Some wasteful aide at the lab must have discarded it after just one bite but the Meowth, living a harsh existence on the street, was not prepared to waste anything. It dangled the apple by the stalk above its head and munched away at it. Yum!

In the corner of its eye, it suddenly saw Lexy and quickly shoved the rest of the fruit into its mouth. As an instinct, it protracted its claws just in case the human was hostile.

"Oh yeah!" Lexy shouted, punching her fist into the air happily as she spotted the meowth, "Look at our luck Tyler! A cute pokemon right around the corner!" Lexy was about to tell her bulbasaur to tackle the meowth when she noticed it noticing her, shoving the apple it had been eating into its mouth quickly, like a starved animal. As she looked at its skinny state a little closer she guessed it probably was starved.

"Well that is no good!" She said, pulling out one of the granola bars her mother had packed for her the week before when she first started out to come here. She squatted down as she would with a feral cat, a trick she had learned to use to look less threatening, and opened the granola bar, then held it out in offering to the skinny meowth. "Hey there... boy? Are you hungry?"

She wasn't sure if wild pokemon acted in the same way as wild animals, but if they did she might be able to convince the meowth to come with her without having to actually harm it. She had never really understood why pokemon came to like their owners if they attacked them to capture them. However she realized to herself that if she had to, she probably would attack this poor meowth to catch it. That realization made a part of her a little sick. And it wasn't a little part of her either.

[revolvingscott]

The Meowth eyed her suspiciously. What does she want? it thought to itself. It didn't have a very good track record with people after being constantly attacked by them day after day while all it wanted was to have a peaceful life and perhaps a bit of food...

The meowth couldn't be bothered with what it saw as mindless tricks on Lexy's behalf. May as well get this battle over and done with Meowth reasoned.

It jumped at her Bulbasaur, scratching its face and poised itself, ready to attack again.

"Tyler!" Lexy cried unhappily as the meowth ignored the offered food and scratched at her pokemon's face in a feral manner. Lexy didn't blame the meowth though, this was often the case with wild cats as well and she only blamed herself for having not been perceptive enough to the wariness of this particular feline.

Now though, seeing that the meowth wasn't going to let up Lexy stood back up tall again and spoke with a strong voice, trying to be confident in herself. "Alright, Tyler! Use a growl on him to lower his attack! We'll get him where it really hurts after that!" She said, hoping her willful bulbasaur would listen to her. She had already figured out his dislike for stat changing moves, and if he didn't work with her now this might not turn out so well.

[camtoniac]

Meowth dived forward towards Tyler, claws bared, mouth wide, teeth gleaming in the sun. Unfazed, the Bulbasaur let out a loud Growl. The wild cat immediately began to stumble, as if it had forgotten about its intended Scratch attack, settling instead for an intimidating Growl of its own. Positioning itself within inches of Lexy's Pokémon, the vicious feline allowed an aggressive roar to erupt from its throat; much too ravenous for an animal of its size.

Watching as Tyler shivered slightly and retreated into himself, shaken by the cat's animalistic rage, Meowth proudly sat upright and began to preen itself, licking its delicate paws, ensuring it kept one eye focused on the opposing Seed Pokémon at all times, awaiting the Trainer's next move arrogantly.

Lexy watched the meowth with a slight bit of her being very impressed. The other part was slightly ticked though by its cocky behavior. Clentching her fist she called out to Tyler, "Alright, good growl Ty! Now use a tackle on it and try to knock its arrogant actions away!"

[revolvingscott]

Tyler ran forwards at a breakneck speed. He wanted to win his first pokémon battle, and he wanted to win it quickly.

"Bulba!" he cried before jumping upwards and slamming into the enemy Meowth.

Meowth fell backwards and Tyler ran back to his mistress, looking for some kind of gratification.

Meowth got up, enraged and ready to fight. It pounced onto Tyler, ripping at it with its sharp claws.

Tyler cried out in pain as it shook Meowth of its back.

Meowth prowled backwards, watching Tyler and waiting to see what he would do next.

"Good hit Tyler!" Lexy called as her pokemon dashed back to her side. However she wished he hadn't come looking to her for praise as the meowth jumped onto his back and she realized both of their mistakes. "Keep you eyes on the battle Ty! Now go get that meowth with another tackle and try not to get hurt!"

[revolvingscott]

Meowth was waiting for this. As Tyler hurtled towards Meowth, it prepared itself. Whenever the Bulbasaur was close enough, Meowth scratched its face, expecting it to stop. But Tyler didn't, he kept running before slamming into the Meowth again.

Meowth was too shocked to attack again, he just fell backwards and panted. He needed a new plan.

[ooc: Tyler is also minus one attack...sorry I missed that before.]

Lexy cheered silently to herself in her mind as Tyler didn't let the Meowth's scratches stop him. "Now veer around and tackle it again, Ty!" She called, trusting him to do another great job and hoping to catch the meowth off guard by coming at it from all sides.

[camtoniac]

First, there was a rumble. Then, there was a thunder. Before too long, Meowth gazed wide-eyed at a green dinosaur, charging towards it. Blessed with feline agility, the wild Meowth quickly jumped into the air, onto its hind legs. Watching as the Bulbasaur advanced, with speed and power, Meowth prepared itself. Utilising its instinct and precise nature, the cat hopped about the opposing Pokémon, and locked its claws onto Tyler's bulb, using it to push itself forward, landing safely behind Tyler.

While Lexy's Pokémon was unharmed, he was bemused. Meowth seemed slightly overwhelmed by the battle, pausing to appreciate that his plan had worked, panting softly. However, unexpected to all parties, Tyler swerved his path, once again charging towards the wild feline; screeching loudly, Meowth attempted to escape - this time the action felt absent of grace and skill, Meowth scrambling wildly, unable to run fast enough to evade the surprise attack. Tyler connected, propelling the foe Pokémon through the air, landing on its back. Too worn out and bewildered to attack, the wild Meowth slowly raised to its feet.
