Headin' down South [F]

[The REAL Joey]

As the timid looking thing approaced Joey his eyes widened in disbelief. "Erm... What now?" As it hid behind the rock he scrambled for his tourist guide and looked at the Pokemon that could be found. However, with a slap of his head he realised it was pretty dark to do any reading. "Oh that's a point... Charmeleon!" Joey sent out his faithful lizard who's tail lit up the area slightly; just enough for Joey to read whatever the text said. Charmeleon looked at the Whismur threateningly but Joe caught wind and held him back. "No, no! I didn't send you out to fight... I just need your light, bud." Charmeleon relaxed and shifted his tail to give it's owner more reading light. "Lessee... A Whismur?" Joey laughed and shook his head. "Oh man, don't they turn into those really loud things? I swear they use them as amps in music concert-"

Before he could finish, a deafening cry burst their eardrums, coming directly from the little Whismur. It stopped but Joey could hardly think after such a tremendous cry. "W-W-Wha...?!" He shook his head with both hands and looked at the Whismur. "That's it! Can't have you crying out like that all the time!" His hand grabbed a Pokeball from his belt holster and he flicked it up in the air a few times before grabbing it with his hand. "Let's see how this pans out..." He tossed the ball before the Whismur, unleashing his recently caught Narcissa the Budew.

The Budew swayed on the spot, obviously enraptured with its self. However, the Whismur wasn't too fond of the Pokemon's narcissistic little display and let out another excruciatingly loud roar. Joey and Charmeleon were ready for it this time... However, Narcissa was not. It wobbled on the spot before flailing around its little buds in disapproval at being assaulted so mercilessly. With a haughty look, it leered at the Whismur, ready for battle. "Glad you understand we're gonna be battling this thing." He pointed towards it and ordered Narcissa a command. "Narcissa! Stun Spore! ...And keep it in the Whismur's direction! I don't want to be inhalin' that!" The Budew puffed its cheeks out before waving around its little buds, showering a thick cloud of Stun Spore at the Whismur.

[latani]

The Whismur continued to shriek until the cloud of glittering spores went straight down its throat. It gagged and wriggled in displeasure. More spores seemed to clot in its ear holes, muffling its hearing. Oh good. Maybe if it couldn't hear itself, it wouldn't scream loud enough to bring the cave down on Joey's head.

Narcissa giggled and looked smug for a moment before she went back to marveling over her visage in a sparkly rock stuck into the wall. As she did, the wild Whismur had shook itself and glared at her.

Charmeleon watched with an eyebrow cocked as the little Normal type rushed forwards on its stout little legs. Narcissa didn't even bother acknowledging its presence. At least, not until it wailed out once and smacked the Budew upside the head. Narcissa squealed in anger and flailed her head vines on the Whismur, who retreated with a pleased giggle.

The Grass type puffed herself up and began yelling at the Whismur, who seemed unable to hear her thanks to the clogging spores in its ears.

[The REAL Joey]

A deflated sigh from Joey and Charmeleon slapping itself with both claws reflected just how poorly they were estimating their choices. Joe looked to his fiery Charmeleon and whispered just loud enough for him to hear. "I REALLY should've sent you out on second thought..." He rubbed his face wearily before looking at Narcissa. Her once conceitedly serene face was now totally forgotten. Her cheeks now swollen up due to all the air she was sucking up to make herself look intimidating towards the Whismur. It bounced up and down on the spot furiously, sorely waiting for its trainer to issue the next command.

The Whismur's cheeky giggling only seemed to exacerbate things further. Before things could get totally out of hand and Narcissa being lost to it's incomparable rage, Joey finally ordered the next move. "Narcissa! Get a hold of yourself. You're not gonna beat that thing by just warbling about. Absorb it's life force!" With Narcissa hearing the command and preparing its moves, Joey reeled back and held his hand over his mouth as he whispered to Charmeleon. "Figured we might be able to quieten that little Whismur before he deafens us all again by stealing its energy." The now severely enraged Budew charged up to the Whismur and unfolded its buds, which poked into the loud Pokemon, glowing with a green light as the energy transferred to Narcissa.

[Arzadon]

The little pink screeching bag reached out into it's ear and pulled out a strange looking berry. Whismur swallowed the berry hole, healing it's self of the paralysis effect. Narcissa gasped in horror, how dare it eat in such an ugly manor in front of such a divine Budew. The noise bag then ran towards Narcissa. The narcissist pokemon stood it's grown, believing that it would not dare touch it's beautiful body.

She was dead wrong. Whimsur launched itself at her, ramming it's body into the sprouting pokemon. Narcissa was ENRAGED. This insolent pokemon dared to TOUCH her! Budew knew this thing must be put in it's place. Narcissa unravelled her arm like appendages, and with a sharp smack, the budew back handed Whimsur with one of it's arms. As Narcissa's arm hit the wild pokemon, Joey could notice a soft red light, moving into his pokemon's body.

[The REAL Joey]

The removal of the paralysis effect unnerved Joey slightly. "Well THAT was unexpected." He looked at his Meowth tucked away in his Pokeball and sighed. "Knew I should have used Thief on everything in sight." He looked up and focused back on the task at hand. "Another time maybe." Charmeleon bobbed along, intently watching the battle unfold. It seemed although it was slightly dubious at Narcissa's fighting prowess at first, that firm slap hand dished out was something else. He began ducking and weaving, practising his own shadow boxing. As the little Budew's health restored, it began swaying once more on the spot, enamoured with how gorgeous it looked. A small sigh was heard from Joey as he whispered out to Charmeleon. "She could have 1HP left and STILL think she was the most beautiful thing to grace the lands." Charmeleon shrugged and agreed with his master.

With the Whismur now fairly healthy again due to the aid of a berry, Joey had to begin rethinking his game plan once more. "I doubt that things got any more berries and with this level gap we need to try and overtake it as much as possible..." Joey nodded to himself confidently. "Narcissa! Stop fawning over yerself! Spray another cloud of Stun Spore on that thing!" With a haughty turn of her face, Narcissa rhythmically swayed from side to side, it's bud like arms unfolding. After a swish turn on the spot, huge bursts of pollen clouds were jetted at the little Whismur, shrouding it in a paralytic stream of spore. "Gotta love them status effects." Mused Joey.

[latani]

The Whismur's smug look vanished as a second storm of spores whirled towards it. Narcissa danced in the sparkles, knowing she looked absolutely divine with a beautiful move accenting her natural gorgeousness. Whismur coughed and gagged, then slowly began to creep forwards, despite the paralyzing spores seeping their way into its muscles.

It stopped just shy of the still dancing Budew, eyes watching the egotistic critter whirling in the remnants of her attack. With a sharp inhalation of breath, the Whismur then bellowed loudly. It was so startling and unexpected Narcissa screeched and fell onto her side.

Astonish had done its job, all right. The Whismur retreated again, smiling smugly at Narcissa. The Budew squawked in a most unladylike fashion and spun onto her feet, puffing up again with rage.

'BUDEW, BUD BUD DEW! BUDDDDDDDDDD!!!" For such a little Pokemon, she had gigantic lungs. But after her shrieking rant, the roof of the cave made an ominous noise, followed by a clatter of pebbles on the ground. Charmeleon glanced up worriedly in the middle of his boxing.

If the two Pokemon kept up their screaming they'd bring the friggen roof down on everyone.

[The REAL Joey]

With the distant rumblings off in the distance, Joey also began to share his Pokemon's concern. "Great... Imagine if these two bring down the entire cave. What a way to go, huh?" Charmeleon's eyes squinted in worry. It was certainly not the way he wanted to end up; as a squished pancake underneath all the rubble of the cave. Budew's cheeks were still alarmingly puffed up due to all the anger swelling up from the Whismur's surprise attack. The sheer audacity of that Whismur was enough for Budew to want to take on a Wailord. It's arm like appendages began swinging around wildly, as if conveying what it was going to do the Whismur once it got its chance. NOBODY messes with her pristine beauty. NOBODY.

Eager to try and stop the yelling and possible downfall of them all, he barked out his next order to Narcissa with a strong air of authority to his tone. "NARCISSA! Focus and land an Absorb on the Whismur. We've got it where we want it now." Narcissa didn't need an order to attack the Whismur, by the time Joe had finished, she was half way there. Its buds whipped up in the air and then came crashing down on the Whismur, enveloping the bud Pokemon in a faint green like glow as it attempted to suck up the Whismur's life force and, in turn, stop it from being a pain in the Pokemon's time to be self indulgent over its lavish beauty. This cave was pretty dreary and dull and in Narcissa's opinion, totally needed her charms to accentuate the place. Joey watched on but became distracted as he heard unfamiliar roars off in the distance. They didn't sound like anything he had heard of before. "Odd... Sound like they're coming from the depths of the cave. I wonder what they could be...?"

OOC: Union Cave Lapras appearance reference for all wondering. ;D

[Arzadon]

With a sharp slap, the Budew's arms struck Whimsur across the face. Whimsur collapsed to the ground, holding it's throat. The stun spore took hold of the noise pokemon, temporarily taking out it's vocal cords. Of course Narcissa took her chance to be beautiful. The narcissist pokemon planted one foot on top of the collapsed Whimsur and laughed wildly. As if trying to say, take this beotch.

[The REAL Joey]

Narcissa's outrageous display bought a small laugh on Joey's face as he tried to hide it from his Pokemon. The last thing he wanted was Narcissa working out Joey found her to be slightly amusing. If she did, there would be no end to the conceited displays. With the Whismur paralysed from the spore and coiled up on the floor under the Budew's foot, it seemed capturing it was now in order. A Pokemon that could cause such loud outbursts of sound was of no doubt use to the young thief. If he trained it hard enough the possibility of shattering glass and the like was more than possible. "Narcissa, keep 'em steady!" A ball was retrieved from Joe's bag and carefully aimed at the little Whismur. "Gotcha...!" He chucked the ball with a large swing of momentum, hitting it squarely on the side of its face. In seconds, the Whismur was now caught up inside the ball and rolling from side to side. Narcissa, who had now lost her standing, tripped on the floor unceremoniously and began haughtily turning her cheek.

Joey's pokeball hit the screeching bag in the head. With in seconds Whismur was sucked into the pokeball. Narcissa was taken aback. How dare it's opponent flee instead of observing it's BEAUTY?! The Budew violently stomped the ground in rage. Meanwhile the pokeball was shaking back and forth. The pokeball stopped in place, and emitted a soft click. The soft click was muted by Narcissa's cries of rage. Yet an experienced trainer would know that they just caught themselves a Whismur.

[The REAL Joey]

The three rolls and a click was all Joey needed for confirmation. He coolly extended his arm out and collected the newly captured Pokemon. "Heheheh, this is shaping up to be quite the hunt. By the time I get to Azalea the Rockets will be more than outnumbered..." A small sweat drop appeared as he scratched the back of his head. "Too bad the laws of physics only allow up to six Pokemon at once..." He sighed and let out the Whismur. Despite being pummelled thoroughly by Narcissa and paralysed from the spores, the Whismur was surprisingly upbeat about its new start in life. It inquistively perked up as it noticed Joey and let out a few mini bursts of sound. All of which Joey blocked out as he was more than prepared for them from earlier. After shrugged his head to regain some sense, he looked down at the Whismur and gave it a welcoming, with his thumbs up and a grin. "Say there little fella. Sorry about that but I had to try and prove my might to get you to join me it would seem." The Whismur belted out a confirmation, catching Joey off guard.

As his ears wringed, he looked down at the Whismur with a shocked expression. Could this thing even HEAR it's own cries? Or was it unaware of how loud it was being. Nevertheless, the loud buzz ringing in Joey's ears formed the perfect nickname for the new party member. "How's about we name you Amp? Your bellowing reminds me of the buzz I got from some gigs i've been to. You're like a walking, living Amp!" The Whismur grinned happily, it seemed to have taken quit the liking to the new name. The happy little conversation was soon soiled however as the fuming Narcissa budged its way in an attempt to gain Joey's attention. It floated around in a dancing manner as it tried to convey to its owner it had learnt a new move. Joey raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Heh, let's get rid of Absorb and teach you Mega Drain huh?" Narcissa smiled to herself, her growing in levels meant that she was now even more beautiful and eyecatching than before.

Amp wasn't all too happy about Narcissa barging in however and with a slow open of its mouth, it launched out a ear splitting yell that rattled Narcissa's cage pretty roughly. As it regained some sense, it turned to the Whismur and began barging into the feckless annoyer. Joey face palmed and let out a heavy sigh. "I wish they could all get on like you, Charmeleon." Charmeleon let out a coy smile before moving into the fray between Amp and Narcissa, separating them out. However, Amp let out one more deafening cry. By now, it seemed Joe was almost becoming used to them but the faint approaching of footsteps startled him. He turned on the spot to see someone had approached them. A trainer perhaps? "Yo, anybody there?" Called out Joey to the unknown figure.

I would also like to stick the newly caught Whismur into my PC box along with my Meowth.

In turn, could the Wooper that's been sitting in my PC box be placed into my party and also hold the Lucky Egg? Thank you in advance for this lengthy job.

[Arzadon]

The crunching sound came closer and closer to Joey and his pokemon. After what seemed like ages, a rather pudgy bearded man emerged from the shadows. He was still quite a distance from Joey, as the light from a distant pokemon illuminated the cave.

"Ho, there trainer! I heard the cries o' Whismur. Wanted ta see if ya where alright!" The trainer called out to Joey. As he continued his advanced towards Joey. For a man his size, her easily darted around the cave, like it was his home. One the hiker was a few feet away from Joey, he carefully looked the young trainer.

"Ya look like yer alright yougin'. Perhaps a pokemon battle would be better!" The Hiker said, taking a pokeball from his waist. The older trainer was clearly well prepared for a battle in the middle of no where.

---

Hiker Russel challenged you to a battle!

[The REAL Joey]

The appearance of a fairly large Hiker made Joey breath a sigh of relief. Back in Kanto he had heard of almost supernatural occurrences happening with people venturing into caves and being lost forever in the impenetrable darkness. Hikers on the other hand were not some occult being of the night. Most Hikers he had come across were actually salt of the earth type fellows. The jovial hiker before him seemed to fit the general stereotype of them. As they greeted, Joey laughed to himself as he was challenged to a battle. If there were two things hikers were renowned for it was hiking and their love for battling. "Hmm, a battle? Here?" He shrugged and picked out a Pokeball from his waist. "Don't see why not, I could do with a little scuffle." His eyes darted up to the ceiling for a split second. Hopefully their battle would not rage so hard the entire cave would come crashing down on them.

Joey's other Pokemon, namely Narcissa, Amp and Charmeleon, looked up from their little confrontation as a new battle began to unfold. They put aside their differences and instead moved over to watch the match. Joey flung a ball up in the air, letting it fall back down of its own accord before catching it and launching it before him. "Wooper! Let's see how well you cope!" As Joey finished, the slow witted Wooper he had caught back in Route 32 appeared. It stood there, seemingly unbeknownst it had just been called up for a battle. A few more seconds passed before Joey started to become a little uneasy. "Errr... Wooper?" The little Pokemon finally moved its head around as if realising it was now in a battle. Having finally caught his attention Joey ordered the attack. "Let's try and speed this up! Water Gun on whatever this Hiker has up his sleeve!" Wooper paused for a minute. Was it being ordered to attack? ... ... ... So it was! The Wooper acknowledged and began preparing a strong douse of water.

[revolvingscott]

The Hiker was taken aback by the sudden appearance of a Wooper. This 'Joey' fellow didn't seem like the Wooper-type. Then his worries went further when Joey commanded it. Water Gun? No! He had two pokémon, both very weak to water gun!

"Em, okay, I choose you, Geodude!" he said. He threw his Poké Ball onto the field and it burst into a Geodude! Wooper reacted immediately.

Geodude howled in horror as he opened his eyes, giving him a split-second preview of the water directed at him!

"Ge-Dude!" he cried.

"Geodude, don't take that! Tackle attack!" the Hiker roared. His pokémon was being beaten by some punk and his Wooper! He had no time for people that beat him!

Geodude hurled himself at the Wooper, trying to do as much damage as possible but slipped upon its slimy coat. It still managed to do some damage.

Hiker Russel glared at Joey.

[The REAL Joey]

The dousing of water Geodude received made Joey smirk to himself. "Good ol' predictable Hikers...." However, his smugness was displaced due to how ineffective the attack was. "Whaaaat?! But... That's impossible!" He looked at the Geodude and eyed it furiously. For something constituting Rock and Ground as its elements, it should have been severely weak to the water attack. However, it was still in fairly good shape. "This ain't right..." Murmured Joey. He let out a sigh and tossed his head from side to side wearily. "Time to rinse you off some more...!" He looked to Wooper and nodded. "Repeat, Water Gun!" Wooper looked at Joe in awe but soon realised the importance of the command. It began inhaling in, ready to stream out a forceful jet of water at the rocky opponent. Noticing Russel's glare, Joey shifted about on the spot uneasily and shrugged while nervously laughing to him. "Guess you should try outside of the Rock/Ground grouping of Pokemon, huh?"
