Ready or Not! [F]

[The REAL Joey]

OOC: CONFOUND YOU! I WANTED TO UPDATE! D:< OH well, I had a chance to update Conan's Sandshrew so I shall just have to be content for now. And as for the Zubat, coooomin' up!

BIC:

The sky outside the warehouse was now blanketed with the dark of night. What had only been meant as a small trip to see Joey had turned into a Pokemon war zone and also later on a rather lengthy socialising drink. With the night's sky now plunging the land in its murky darkness, it invited out a number of Pokemon who relished the gentle glow of the moon's shine. One of which was the nocturnal Pokemon Zubat. Having tucked itself away inside the upper tiles of the abandoned warehouse, it had awoke not too long ago in order to fill its body with enough sustenance to go about another day. It couldn't quite believe its sonar senses as it picked up on a human sized being walking out of the warehouse front doors. Swooping in for a tasty suck of her blood, it was alarmed when a sudden retrieval of one of Sharada's Pokemon was instantly summoned to protect its trainer from harm's jaws.

The fluffy and soothing Swablu burst forth from its confines and made the Zubat think twice about going in for a sample of the female's blood. It manoeuvred around in the air skilfully as it dodged the Swablu's peck of its beak to ward it off. As it regained composure in the air, it fluttered on the spot and shrieked at the Swablu. If it could take down this overgrown cotton bud it'd have all the blood it could feast on! After all, she seemed to be nothing more than a poor defenceless girl and its stomach was growling with hunger. Not wanting to leave its trainer in danger, it flew serenely forward ready to enact out what Sharada had ordered. It pointed forward its sharp beak and with a furious flurry of hits, it landed three successful strikes! The Zubat lost its ability to fly for a couple of seconds as it recovered from being so heavily struck.

Not having many moves at its disposal, it decided that in order to stand a chance, Supersonic was the only way it was going to even things out. If it could confuse the accursed cloud like Pokemon it could streak by its confusion and bite Sharada. It began shrieking at a very high pitch but Swablu merely hovered on the spot, reacting no differently to the rather weak attempt. Zubat realised it had failed to successfully hit the opponent and its ears drooped sadly. This had been a disastrous ambush.

OOC: Screw it, while I'm here I may aswell get one or two more things, if thats alright with you? I wouldnt mind a Spinarak and possibly a Machop too. Then I'll be out of your hair. xD And sorry for this terribly short post. Kinda getting a bit of a headache. D:

IC:

After realising the swooping creature was in fact a Zubat, Sharada instantly settled both her hands around her neck protectively and stared at the bat in horror. Joe had apparently been bitten by one of these blasted things himself and there was no way in hell that she was going to suffer the same as he did. Taking a step back, the on edge female trainer took her eyes to the sky, watching as the winged pokemon flapped about in the air. Battles sure were different during the night, if it had been much darker even Swablu's glittering body would've been somewhat difficult to make out.

The fluffy cotton bird was able to land several attacks both successfully and gracefully, it's petite beak tapping furiously against the little bats body. The Zubat didnt seem to be as lucky, however, as it looped backwards to prepare it's own attack. As it opened its mouth to let out a piercing screech, Sharada bravely moved her hands from her neck to cover her ears. She had put up with more than enough screeching during this day, her head was starting to pound painfully at even the thought of yet another. With it's little voice box beginning to vibrate, the sound wasnt exactly something either of them were expecting.

Noticing the Zubat being a little sad with it's missed cried, Sharada took that distracted moment as her chance. Preparing the consequences in her mind, there was a high chance that throwing this ball now was too early but all that she wouldve lost was a ball and that was no big deal. Preparing the empty portable home for the bat, she tossed the red and white sphere forwards, Swablu fluttering about gently as she watched the outcome.

Used:
x1 Pokeball

OOC: That's not a problem. When I was in Route 32/Union Cave I pretty much declared it National Capture EVERYTHING Day and proceeded to loot the place. Just as long as you don't request a Rare Pokemon (Meowth/Ekans/Koffing) you're perfectly allowed to do so. Don't worry about post length either, your amount is perfectly fine and only so much you can do when capturing.

BIC:

Considering the close quarter combat between the Zubat and Sharada, the ball had very little to travel before reaching its target. It hurtled through the air and smacked right against the Zubat's head. It wasn't long before Zubat had been shrunk and absorbed into the capturing device as it fell to the floor and began shaking. Only the next few moments would tell if Sharada had been successful in her attempt.

Sharada's Swablu had valiantly come to her aid and it was now nestling itself on top of Sharada's head. It tucked itself in comfortably and used its fluffy little wings to cover Sharada's ears in order to mimic ear muffs. It began humming quietly so that it felt like it was vibrating slightly. The shiny Pokemon loved its trainer more than anything and the fact it was able to protect it from joining the ranks of the undead made Swablu perfectly content. While a calming peace now ruled the outer grounds of the warehouse, the recent ruckus caused by the loud Zubat had awoken one of the warehouse's other residents. A huge slab was moved to one sided and out of the dark hole popped out a Machop. It looked a little riled that its sleep had been disturbed. This had made it the second time today that some loud happening had disturbed its peace. Seeing only Sharada and her Pokemon standing there, it decided she was the cause of the noise. It huffed its cheeks and began flexing its muscles.

IC:

As the Zubat was engulfed in the bright light, Sharada was tossed once again into those few seconds of wonder for the chance to the pokemon to either be captured or if it broke out to continue fighting. Swablu had fluttered over to Sharada and was now resting comfortably ontop of her trainer's scruffy hair. After all the explosions and everything else she had been through, Sharada looked more than a little bit messy. Sighing in relief as the ball rolled to a halt, her eyes glanced up happily to her victorious golden bird, "Great Job Swablu, I knew I could count on you.."

Swablu tilted her body, a little confused at her trainers sudden pause. Sharada had now lifted the Pokeball and was examining it quietly. She had only really captured it in the moment, she actually had no need or interest in it. Shrugging her shoulders, she placed the new addition in her bag and was able to carry on walking. Except, a loud noise from close by didnt exactly give her a chance. Turning for the odd chance it had been Joe coming out to see if she was alright, it was infact a rather sleepy Machop. Obviously startled, or annoyed, with all the noise it had come to sort out the problem.

Cringing slightly, she nudged her head upwards, Swablu fluttering off her resting place, "Next one, I guess?" The female trainer questioned, Swablu being ready for yet another battle. As she flapped her cotton wings gracefully, Sharada ordered her attack, "A'right Swablu! Let's Peck it!"

[The REAL Joey]

Flying back into battle, the Swablu had no problems with taking on another aggressor to its wonderful trainer. While the fluffy little bird of soothing song may not have been the most intimidating of opponents, it more than made up for that fact with its loyalty to its trainer. The Machop eyed the opposing force in front of it and leered its eyes. All it wanted was to just chill out with a bit of peace but it seemed it'd have to put its chiselled muscles into good use. It braced its right shoulder with its left arm and energetically span some momentum into its swing that it was preparing.

Swablu hovered above it, flapping its wings triumphantly. While it may not have been as a strong as this small muscle head, it could use the fact it could fly to soften its blows by dodging them slightly. The fact it could so gracefully manoeuvre itself in the air meant that it was just that much faster than the fighting type Pokemon. it darted forward with a swift flap and pecked Machop right on the forehead. While the rest of the Pokemon's body was finely worked out, it had no muscles to speak of concerning its forehead meaning that the peck was a bit more painful that it should have been. It held onto tightly to the recently pecked wound and gritted its teeth.

It let out a loud bark and then jumped into the air, somehow managing to grapple the Swablu in the process. Upon grappling with it, it boosted further into the air, and swapped around their positions. Machop had thrust the Swablu beneath it and was now manipulating the force of gravity to drive Swablu into the ground. It could have been a far more devastating force but Machop was too small to take full advantage. Instead Swablu was flung into the ground and freed from the grip of seismic toss.

Sharada watched happily as her Swablu flew gracefully straight into yet another battle. One would say that Swablu was Sharada's signature Pokemon, the two were practically everywhere together and both their bonds of love and friendship were high. The only thing what they would probably disagree on is which of them liked Joe more. Swablu wasn't exactly the most strongest of her team either but that was only really because Sharada doesnt want to see the glittering bird hurt.

Here was a different story, however. Machop had heaps of strength behind it but Swablu had both a type advantage and a soothing song which had the chance of sending even the most legendary of Pokemon into a deep slumber. Her cotton like bird was also boasting with confidence as it flapped elegantly around the Machop before turning sideways to float down ward, her beak aiming for smack bang on his forehead, it seemed. As the peck landed successfully and quite powerfully, Sharada let out a praising cheer which was the first step to unlocking her downfall.

As her Swablu turned to give her trainer a cheerful chirp, the Machop saw it's chance. Sharada stared in horror as the little muscled pokemon lept into the air, grappling a hold on her bird before spinning in the air and sending her crashing back down into the ground. The impact was so intense that a large crack split across the rock hard earth, Swablu struggling to get herself back up, "S-SWABLU!!" The mere painful expression spread across her face was enough to call her Pokemon back, but as Swablu lifted a wing slowly to indicate she wanted to continue, Sharada could do nothing but respect her choice. Gritting her teeth tightly, she glared to the Machop, "Smack that thing again with another Peck attack!"

[The REAL Joey]

Swablu shrugged off the forceful toss and regained its composure in the air. Its wings flapped defiantly at the Machop and gave it a warning glare that it wasn't about to be beaten just so easily. The next round was upon them and Sharada's decision to repeat the last move was noted by Swablu. It repeated as before, flapping itself over and dabbed its sharp peak directly on the Machop's face. The very poke of the beak made it angry beyond belief. It had come out to put an end to all the ructions and was now wishing it had just laid low in the abandoned warehouse's cracked hole. Realising that the last attack was fairly damaging in its output, it launched itself into the air again and successfully initiated another successful grapple. Swablu tried to struggle breaking free but instead was made helpless by the overpowering strength of Machop's muscles. It twisted the bird upside down and in a pile driving motion gravitated back down to the earth. With a mighty crash, they landed, leaving Swablu in a shallow crater on the floor. Machop jumped back and braced itself for any more nasty attacks on its face.

Sharada's order was to pretty much repeat the previous round. Both had done a great amount of damage to each other, but Machop had the upper hand. Whilst she somewhat regretted capturing the previous Zubat, this strong fellow before her might actually be a good edition for her team when she attempts to join Team Rocket. From what she had gathered, they use a lot of Zubats and Ekans', so already having an Ekans allowed her to branch out a little aswell. A Machop popping out of her Pokeball would probably surprise one or two people considering her overly girlish appearance.

As Swablu repeated her Peck attack gracefully once more, Sharada prepared herself as the Machop also made a familiar set of movements. It was clear on Swablu's face also that she was ready for the damage to be dealt but in front of Sharada, she would hang on the best she could. Being lifted into the air by large, bulging muscles wasn't the problem, it was being tossed back down which horrified the bird. Creating a small crater in the ground as the fluffy creature collided with the earth, Sharada felt it was time to toss the ball before anymore damage was dealt.

With a stroke of luck, or just amazing precision, the Pokeball smacked the Machop directly in the face, causing him to recoil backwards in shock before the light engulfed him. Either way, now matter what the outcome, Swablu wasn't going to battle anymore due to the heavy pounding it had just recieved. Dashing forwards, Sharada lifted the golden bird into her arms, both of them watching as yet another ball began to wobble from side to side. Was she lucky enough to get this one in the bag, aswell?

Used;
x1 Pokeball

[The REAL Joey]

Sharada had been on a pretty successful capturing spree today. She had not only snagged an incredibly rare snake but had found a variety of other dwellers within Joe's warehouse. All of which were formidable in their own right. If she decided to keep them she would no doubt be able to hold her own if her cover was blown in Team Rocket. Nevertheless, with her next unused Pokeball flung at Machop, it was time to see if the buff fighting type would be next to join her ranks. As it was absorbed in red light, it was sucked into the Pokeball and fell to the floor, wriggling with defiance. Once. Twice... And...

She had done it! Another successful capture! With Machop now safely dealt with Swablu felt even more relieved to have protected her trainer from danger. It fluttered in front of her face and sung a very soothing melody. As it did, the fluffy feathers of the Pokemon vibrated cutely. The warehouse was now eerily quiet with the only sound that could be heard was the chirping of various bugs out in the wild untamed grass.

In fact, one of the noises that was being shrieked out was surprisingly nearby. Further inspection yielded that a rather creepy crawly looking Spinarak was hidden amongst the tall blades of grass and had been curiously looking at Sharada throughout her entire time outside. It didn't look particularly hostile but you could never be too sure with these wild Pokemon.

With the Machop settling calmly into the Pokeball, Sharada grinned happily before retrieving it, holding both the ball as well as Swablu, "You did a great job! We're starting to get such a nice team~" Whilst she was grinning happily over her newest Pokemon, she placed it safety in her bag, one of the pockets starting to bulge greatly due to the amount of things she had collected in this unique warehouse of Joe's.

"You deserve a rest now, Swablu. I adore you for all the help you gave." As the female trainer and her glittering bird nudged foreheads affectionately, Sharada thought it would be in her best interest to let the weakened bird to rest. Turning slightly, she was about to place her foot down when she spotted a rather colourful spider right underneath her foot. Stopping in the nick of time, she pranced backwards in shock. Whilst the Spinarak didn't seem all that threatening, there was no harm in catching one more. With a sly smirk she picked out a Pokeball of her own, tossing it forward for her very last battle at the warehouse, "Togepi! Let's hit that thing with Extrasensory!"

OOC: Sorry if they are getting short and she is going out of character lol. We'll just get this out of the way so you can get this off your shoulders lol. Thanks for going on with it for so long. *O* I owe you.

[The REAL Joey]

The confused Spinarak titled its head from side to side in a vague attempt to try and understand why the girl was not screeching in fear at its very existence. The last girl to come across it almost fainted from the sight of an abnormally large spider so it was bit of a shock this teenage girl was quite the contrary and seemed interested in it. It flicked itself down from its perch and positioned itself forward. The way she sent her Pokemon forward... It almost appeared to be as if she was issuing it a challenge in order to prove her worthiness of becoming the spider's trainer. Mulling it over, the Spinarak nodded and readied for battle.

The Pokemon before it was rather weird to say the least. It looked like it would be more at home in a little crib as opposed to out on the battlefield but nevertheless, the Spinarak made no discrimination in holding back at the other side. It was rather taken aback as Togepi dashed forward before it, ready to unleash its attack. The little baby Pokemon giggled and gasped as its little face seemed to concentrate. At that moment, Spinarak's mind was filled with numerous visions that crashed through its brain at an alarming rate. A thrust back to the present meant that the attack had finished but it left the Spinarak feeling as if its head had been shoved into a washing machine and turned on. Knowing it needed to at least put up some fight in testing Sharada's worthiness, it swivelled around and shot forth a long string that came from its abdomen. The constrictive webbing wrapped around Togepi tightly and the tightness of it made Togepi feel somewhat uncomfortable. Problematically... That was all it did. It was hardly able to be called an attack considering how weak it was.

Sharada wasn't usually a fan of bugs but the way it tilted it's head from side to side, surveying what she was doing and just nodding back to her challenge made it come across a slightly cute. If it were charging head first at her and wiggling it's many legs about, then Sharada would be in a fit of screams and cries but this one seemed relatively calm, she could put up with that.

The female trainer didn't actually know that Togepi had already used it's attack until the opposing Spinarak began moving in a strange manner. Togepi was a little odd in itself, despite it being a mere egg, she had two fairly strong moves, one of which was incredibly unpredictable. After regaining it's composure, the Spinarak turned suddenly, parts of it's body beginning to wriggle. Wincing at the attack what suddenly shot and wrapped itself around her Togepi, it was surprise moves like those that struck fear in her heart. With her egg now bound by the string like substance, Sharada decided to take a similar gamble she had made on Zubat. There was a chance throwing a pokeball now would be too early but regardless, she threw it anyway.

Used:
x1 Pokeball

OOC: Too scared to use Extrasensory again so if the ball fails then hey, I'll try again. Sorry for it being short.

[The REAL Joey]

As long as no other rabid or wild Pokemon interrupted Sharada, this would be her last capture for her stay at the abandoned warehouse. The Spinarak looked to her capturing device with somewhat confusion as it had barely had enough time to prove itself or judge how worthy Sharada was. Nevertheless, her deceitful baby of a Pokemon did pack quite a mental punch from what it was last hit with. As the ball soared through the air towards the spider, it became trapped by the red light and sucked into the Pokeball with an incredibly quick timing. Upon hitting the dirty ground, the ball began its ritual wiggle. Once... Twice... And...

With that, the spider Pokemon was now under Sharada's full possession. She certainly had an action packed day and a lot to show for it. The surrounding area was now completely silent and devoid of all life. The only thing that was hidden within the darkness was a lone Arbok prowling along the outskirts of the premises. It was too blended in with the dark of the night but it looked over to Sharada and narrowed its eyes with a small flick of a tongue. Eventually it pulled away and went to patrol elsewhere around the corner.

As the Pokeball tinged successfully and Togepi appeared to have gained a bit more confidence, Sharada let out an almighty yawn. What a day it had been. Destroying a warehouse, meeting Joe's gang and getting all merry and drunk with them. Either way, she planned on visiting again in the far future, everyone was fairly friendly and she would've loved to get to know each of them more. With her route now downhill, she gave the warehouse one last glance back before waving a hand as a goodbye, hoping there was a chance of Looker catching it on CCTV. Smiling warmly, she turned her back to the building, it was time to join the Rockets.

OOC: Well, I'm out of here. Thanks so much for everything and I shall be back in the future if you decide any quests lol<3
