The falling vermilion leaves [F]

[The REAL Joey]

With the Meowth in the battered condition it was in. The inevitable attempt at capturing it meant that the end of the battle wasn't far from over. As the red and white capturing device went flying through the air, it span endlessly until it reached the Cheshire grinning cat and then lassoed the red light around every inch of the Pokemon's body. It tried scrambling to get away but resistance was futile. It was ushered into the ball and once safely contained, the device fell to the ground with a thud.

Once it rolled...

Twice it rolled...

Thrice it rolled...!

Your Togepi fought courageously but unfortunately didn't level up.
It also earned +2 Happiness!

Togepi was still a bit tearful from realising that battles weren't so much the fun and games it had originally planned but nevertheless deep down the Pokemon felt happy for the fact it had found out sooner rather than later. Had it worked outs its own grievous error to late in the game it may have been far too late. Looking up to Sharada it wiped away its tears and gave it a cheerful gurgle of chirping noises.

Meowth
Name: Cheshire
Gender: Male
Level: 5
Moves: Scratch, Growl
Ability: Technician
Nature/Personality: A scruffy kitty who wears a large, stretched out grin across his face at all times. Despite looking a bit disturbing to some, Cheshire is just a stray cat with a very little amount of luck. His creepy and mocking grin is usually enough to get him into fights in which he is completely ruthless and sometimes unfair in. More times than none ending up with him gushing with cuts and bruises of his own. Now having a human companion, Sharada hopes to clean up his act a little to make him a loyal companion rather than one who does what he pleases.

As the rather unique Meowth remained tucked away inside of the Pokeball, Sharada and Buneary let out an almighty cheer. Both for catching another Pokemon and for the victory of Togepi. The small egg began skipping on the spot excitedly after Sharada showered her with praise, wiping away any worried tears she was starting to shed, "You did perfectly! I'm so pleased that you are growing all big and strong~"

Chirping excitedly, Togepi began wobbling towards the recently caught Pokeball. Lifting it in her little arms she carried it back to Sharada, giggling as she offered it to her, "Prii prri!!". It seemed that despite it's creepy smile, both Buneary and Togepi were more welcoming of this cat. From a distance, it looked a little scruffy so from now on it'd hopefully have a happy life with Sharada and her little group.

Scooping Togepi up yet again, Sharada stared among the trees. Despite it being fairly sunny, it looked as if it was just getting darker and darker. After being in that blasted Dark Cave, darkness was the last thing she wanted. Deciding to turn back, Sharada and her team made it back onto the path. It'd be interesting to see what other creatures would pop out and surprise them next.

[The REAL Joey]

As they entered back onto the safe confines of the path, they wouldn't have to wait long before being greeted with their next encounter. It had seemed that another group of Pokemon had decided that the evening sky was getting too dark for them also and were floating their way back to their abodes on the gentle evening breeze. A number of pink little Hoppips were bobbing along as they usually did and seemed to be in an unusual hurry to return back to their homes. A good dozen or so whisked themselves forwards with a somewhat frightened expression on their face. As the moved past Sharada without care to her being, it became apparent that there was but one more Hoppip who was lagging behind. This one seemed almost terrified and had been badly injured. It did its best to push itself along on the wind but unfortunately it was too tired to make it as fast as its brethren. As the gentle gust of wind came to a halt, the Hoppip fell to the floor right in front of Sharada. It looked up and gulped.


Encounter

---

A wild Hoppip (Level 7) has appeared!

Thread reserved by Jimmy Jam Joe, back off suckas.

[Morrigan]

Scanning her eyes in front of her, Sharada had her back to the incoming hoard of Hoppip at first. With both Buneary and Togepi on each shoulder, the female trainer was able to cross her arms as she pondered on which direction to go next. Straight ahead would've been the logical option, of course. Tapping her foot on the ground quietly, she was about to walk ahead when Buneary picked up on something. Her fluffy ears began to twitch at the sound of something rapidly approaching them.

Crying out a few times, the rabbit began conversing with Togepi before tapping Sharada rapidly on the head to get her attention. "My hair will get messy if you keep patting like that... Whats up with you both?" It took a few more attempts from the two Pokemon before the female trainer finally turned on the spot. The sight of the group of Hoppip froze Sharada on the spot, being incredibly lucky as they all floated around her, not one even skimming close to her. With a gentle sigh, she turned a little, watching them as they continued their path, "Wonder what their hurry was... Hm?"

The sound of panting alerted the trio of another Hoppip, this one was flying much lower and seemed incredibly weak. As it flopped to the floor in a terrified mess, Sharada could hardly ignore what had just happened. Looking incredibly concerned, she knelt to the floor, offering a hand to comfort the Hoppip but didn't dare touch it incase of hurting it's already painful looking wounds. "H-Hey... Hang in there!" Buneary hopped off from Sharada's shoulder to offer the Hoppip some support, whilst the female trainer lifted her head and looked in the direction the flock had flown from, "What the heck happened?"

[The REAL Joey]

The Hoppip let out a peaceful sigh as it realised that it had finally found a trainer that wasn't going to attack it just because it had simply appeared in front of it. It was still carrying a touch of terror in its eyes and it was fidgeting agitatedly as it looked around at the smallest of noises. There were some horrific looking bite marks all over its body and it seemed on the verge of fainting. Whatever had attacked it was the cause of the group of Hoppip escaping and ultimately the Hoppip's poor state that was in front of her. Out off in the distance, a finely dressed man staggered through a large grouping of bushes. The way he moved gave the stark impression he was inebriated with some substance or another. He looked around and seemed to be yelling out things in a drunken stupor.

His line of sight eventually saw Sharada and subsequently, the Hoppip that had huddled closer to her for protection. Upon seeing the Hoppip the man seemed to blow up with anger as he staggered forward, taking a Pokeball from out of his work case. "Youu.... Youuuu... YOU STUPID HOPPIPS! Immmmmah gonna get you goooood!" He stumbled forward and barely caught himself from falling flat on his face. "MY WIFE LEFT ME! SHE TOOK MY DAUGHTER...!" He angrily yelled out up into the air. "Now my JOBBB HAS BEEN TAKEN!" He continued yelling into the air and looked to the Hoppip. "AND YOU! YOUUU! I'll get you back!!" He lobbed his Pokeball in front of him and from the dazzling light emerged a vicious looking Snubbull, almost as angry looking as its master. "GEDDOUT THE WAY *****!" Spluttered the man in Sharada's direction, spreading his foul smelling breath of liquor in her face. If Sharada didn't do anything, the Snubbull would tear the poor Hoppip to shreds.

Unemployed bum Harold is about to go Falling Down on your arse!


He sends forth Snubbull (Lv. 8) to battle

[Morrigan]

Thankful that the Hoppip didn't fly off or scream at the sight of Sharada approaching her, the female trainer remained on her knees as both herself and her two team members tried to calm it down. Whilst Buneary talked with the Hoppip, Sharada kept her eye out for any suspicious movement. The sight of a well dressed gentleman startled her a little, the way he walked being a little off. Seeing as he was the only one around and was fairly quick to appear after the Hoppip incident, it was pretty clear to her who was behind this mess. The way Hoppip began to act after hearing his drunken yells were enough to prove that it was him. "Dont worry..." Sharada whispered calmly to the injured pokemon, "I dont give a crap about his reasons, he isnt going to hurt you."

Being incredibly careful, Sharada lifted the injured Hoppip into her arms, wincing at the sound of it crying a little due to the pain of its wounds. The male approaching her was getting a little too close for her liking, the stench of his breath wafting through the air as he yelled at her to move out of the way. She wasnt going to run away at all. If the man was the cause of hurting the Hoppips or not, just his drunken attitude was enough to annoy her, "How about you back the hell off!" Her feet waltzed backwards to create a space between them, even more so when the Snubbull appeared. From his perspective, the brunette probably didn't seem all that strong with a mere Togepi and Buneary, but she wasn't going to use anyone else besides these two.

Glancing down to Buneary, she nodded sharply to her, "You're up first, give it a Pound if wont forget!"

[The REAL Joey]

The man sneered at her choice in Pokemon and began slurring all his words. "Haahahahahaha, you'se a babies! If ya get in my way, i'll kick you too! Gimme that Hoppop" The man was barely making sense but whatever had happened between him and the Hoppip was deadly serious. His Snubbull toddled about on the spot and also seemed intoxicated with booze. "C'maaawn Snubb-snubb, lash through this girly pants and we can get that HOPPIN!" Hoppip shuddered at how boisterously loud the man was being and inched closer to Sharada. It really didn't like the man and despite not being able to communicate in the same language with her, it was doing its best to explain the situation. Harold's Snubbull barked at it and seemed incredibly agitated as the Hoppip began explaining.

By this time, Sharada's faithful Buneary had hopped to, despite the fear of danger by the Pokemon's fairly brutish look. Fortunately due to how aggravated Harold and Snubbull was, Buneary eased in close enough without a hitch. By the time the dog Pokemon had realised Buneary hopped forward and smashed in its face with a pound. Snubbull dizzied about on the spot in a circular motion as it was hit so fiercely. The attack had obviously been a critical hit. Harold spluttered at this ridiculous turn of events right off the bat and angrily pointed to Sharada. "YA GOT LUCKY IS ALL! LUCKY! L-U-K-EEEEEEE!" Considering how drunk he was it wasn't surprising how badly misspelt that attempt at lucky was.

As Buneary retreated back with a quick hop, Harold looked down to Snubbull and nodded. "METRONOM!" Snubbull drunkenly walked forward and began shaking its finger. This must have been an incredibly familiar sight for Sharada having commanded her Togepi to use this move many a time. Snubbull finished performing the metronome and froze as it quickly learnt how to use a monetary move. As it did, the fairy Pokemon seemed to be aglow with a mysterious light. It did little else but it seemed to be conserving its energy for an attack in the next turn. Whatever it was, Harold didn't look too pleased. "Schnubb! Yer gonna make us looooose SNUBBUB!" The incredibly drunken man then fell to his knees and began crying a fountain of tears. Unsettled was too much of an understatement to describe this character.

[Morrigan]

Sharada held onto the Hoppip tighter as the strange male continued to spout out about how he wanted it. The poor little thing was quivering in her arms in a panic and even cuddling up to her closer. She didn't need to know why the Hoppip was so scared anymore all she needed to do was protect it. His drunken and slurred words just confused her even further, it was amazing that the unbalanced pup by his feet was even able to understand what he was trying to say. But then again by the look of the Snubbull, it was more than likely a little more than 'unbalanced'.

As Buneary moved in closer, she unfortunately found out the the dog was also drunk, recieving a rather nasty burp right in the face. The stench enough was probably able to make the little bunny faint but she had to stay strong. With a powerful hit, Buneary retreated quickly back to Sharada as the Snubbull recoiled from the sudden hit. She was really petrified of these drunken buffoon's but was probably more scared of having to smell their breath more than taking a physical hit.

As the drunken male ordered his attack, Sharada cringed at the word she was able to make out. Metronome... The attack which is able to summon any move what so ever. It had always been such a gamble to use with Togepi but since the Snubbull was drunk it really didn't help matters. It began glowing an eerie light which, whilst the suited man didn't seem impressed, worried Sharada beyond belief. Gulping, she noticed Buneary was looking up to her worriedly, "It's alright Buneary, I believe you can do this! C'mon, if we Pound it again, there is a chance it'll faint before it can use whatever it is preparing!" She knew this was most likely a false idea but if she was able to give Buneary enough support, she may just be able to endure the hit what was about to be dealt.

[The REAL Joey]

Buneary, inspired by its trainers enthusiasm, turned to face the bullish canine and leered its eyes. It wasn't going to succumb to its fear. It couldn't. Sharada's hopes were pinned on the bunny Pokemon as well as the protection of the Hoppip were at steak. With an agile sprint forward, the little bunny hopped from space to space, eventually getting right in front of the Snubbull. The dog merely looked at the bunny as it appeared to still be conserving its energy. With a stick of its tongue out, Buneary leaned back and thrust forward with a pound right in the gut of the dog Pokemon. It let out a small whimper at being smacked in such a delicate area but quickly did its best to get over the pain. Harold on the otherhand was sobbing still. "Why?! WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?! THERE ISN'T A GOD! WHH-HIII-HIII---HHYYYYY?!" Snubbull was understandbly tipsy from drinking whatever it had from its owner but even the trainer's own Pokemon was getting fed up with it.

Until, it happened. The move Metronome had selected had finally built up enough energy for it to take action. Snubbull believed itself to be charging its head forward with a smash of its noggin but what happened next... None of them could have been prepared for it. The dog let out a yip as it was magically whisked into the air and sent well out of sight into the sky. Harold, stopped his sobbing and tragically looked up to see where his Pokemon had disappeared to. "WAHHHHH SNUBBUB!!!!!" His hands had extended to the sky but there was no response. Sharada's team also seemed somewhat perplexed. This would all change of course as Snubbull reappeared but was shrouded in a majestically awe inspiring light that resembled that of a great bird. It was stiff as an ironing board but the Snubbull went flying in the direction of Buneary. As it collided, the dog barked out with another yip and crash landed directly into a patch of earth. All of the debris went flying up into the air and showered down upon Buneary. She dodged most of it but the damage was nothing to laugh at. As the rubble settled, all that could be seen was Snubbull and Harold looking gob smacked.

[Morrigan]

With Harold on the floor in tears and Snubbull whimpering after being hit, Sharada used a spare hand to rub the back of her hair in confusion. Togepi was still giggling on her shoulder happily whilst the Hoppip continued to bury it's face deeper into Sharada's arm. How did she end up in this mess again? Or more importantly what the heck was up with this strange man bellowing on the ground in front of her? With the battle under her wing a little, she took a moment to think a few things over. He had mentioned his wife and child leaving him as well as he had lost his job. But then again he just seemed like a drunk man, her father had always told her to not believe anything drunkards say.

Just wanting to move on, Sharada parted her lips to order one last Pound to get the little dog out of it's miserable state and probably slap the chap around the face once or twice whilst she was at it. Only, it was pretty much her who was left gob smacked. As the Snubbull let out a high pitch yip and zoomed off into the air like some golden haired superhero, the female trainer wasn't quite sure what face to pull. Surprised was a good place to start. The dog had zoomed off so high that it was impossible to make out a mere silhouette. Her trio of Pokemon also began gandering up to the sky, the once soft blue now merging into oranges. It was about then that Sharada's face morphed into more of a look of horror.

The insane creature was set alight in a shape of a bird and was now cutting through the air, aiming for the ground around Buneary. The poor little rabbit looked terrified but began shaking a paw at at her trainer, telling her to back off a little. With such a short amount of time to argue, Sharada shuffled backwards a number of steps before turning her back to the collision, holding Hoppip and Togepi tightly to avoid them getting hit with any debris. With a slight cough due to the uprise of smoke, the brunette turned to the idea of both Pokemon being down and out but amazingly, they were both hanging in there. Snubbull especially looking terrible. "Hurry Buneary! One more Pound to finish it!"

[The REAL Joey]

Still absolutely hammered from drinking so much heavy duty alcohol, Harold was on the verge of losing his sanity as he done with his wife, daughter, job and money. With Snubbull in an incredibly bad shape, he kicked his business briefcase and cursed up something foul. "Yaaaa bish! Whhhhy I ouuughta!" He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt but realised while that bunny was in front guarding he didn't stand much of a chance. He had been a passive aggressive that had finally snapped but despite this, he wasn't about to go punting some Easter bunny with the likely ability to shatter bones with its powerful jack hammer like legs. His pooch may have been in bad shape but he slurred out an order. "Schnubbub, beat itttttt!" Snubbull looked up confusedly. That wasn't an order! What the hell was he thinking?

In the confusion, Buneary had acted out on what Sharada had ordered. Bouncing forward with great zeal, the Buneary was certain it was now or never if it ever wanted this joke of a battle to end. By the time Snubbull had got over its ridiculous joke of the order from its trainer, it gawked at what was standing before it. Buneary had braced down on its legs and with an upward strike, pounded the dog right in the kisser. It span around dazedly before alleviating itself on a tip toe and then proceeding to crash ungracefully on the grassy patch before it. Buneary cheered at overcoming the stubborn bull dog and whisked itself back.

Harold on the other hand was less than impressed. "WHAAAAAT!? THE HELL IS THIS?!" He recalled back his Snubbull but had now slung off his jacket and loosened his tie. He looked as if he was entering the stage of the angry drunk. "PFT! You can have it! AAAVEEE EEETTT!" The man was pointing towards what seemed to be the Hoppip. Instead his eyes deviated over to a large tree. Unfortunately, the tree was closer to him than Sharada and if he bolted now he would have made it to there. The other problem? The tree was where the frightened group of Hoppip had evacuated to. It seemed he was aware of this fact and with a drunken lunge, began jogging towards there, a new, second Pokeball in hand. It appeared although Sharada had won this small battle, the war was far from over. If she didn't jog now, Harold would exact his revenge on the Hoppip for certain.

[Morrigan]

As Buneary hopped, skipped and jumped her way over to the Snubbull, the whole of Sharada's group remained silent before letting out a victorious cheer at the sight of the little rabbit laying the smack down on the pink dog. "That's great work Buneary!" Sharada continued to cheer out happily, the now a little tired bunny rubbing a paw on the back of her head, a small blush crossing her cheeks as she chirped, as if saying, 'it was nothing'.

As the drunken team member fell to the floor with a plop, Buneary quickly retreated back to Sharada's side in which she hid behind her legs, not wanting to battle this crazy man any further. In all honesty, Sharada didn't exactly want to stay with this strange man but leaving while he was in such a drunken state could possible lead to some destruction to the surrounding area. Besides that, the whole Hoppip mystery hadn't been answered either.

The sudden booming of his voice caused the Hoppip in Sharada's arms to shiver violently, it didn't want to be hurt anymore. At that moment, the female trainer looked down to the reddish creature, patting the top of it's head in a comforting manner, "Hush... Hush..." she repeated several times to try and calm the Hoppip down. Because of this distraction, the sight of him running off as she lifted her head caused her to panic. The rest of the Hoppip did indeed float in that direction and if he couldnt get his revenge on the one in her arms, he could just as easily find something else to replace it.

Gritting her teeth, she clutched tightly onto the injured Hoppip and Togepi, Buneary jumping onto her back and clinging onto Sharada's clothes for dear life as the brunette began charging after him. A killer glare spread across her face as her feet pounded against the floor in attempt to catch up with him. "Dont you run from me, you useless excuse of a man!" she roared whilst trying to catch up to him.

Showing no signs of slowing down, Sharada gave her arms a quick squeeze as if to alert Togepi, "That guy is a baddie, Togepi, you know what to do to bad guys... right?" As if chirping in agreement, the little Togepi lifted her arms in the air. If the drunken man wouldn't stop running he would have the risk of a rather explosive Togepi on his arse.

[The REAL Joey]

With the man dashing off with a murderous glint in his drunken eyes, the Hoppip that Sharada was cradling seemed to be protesting and urging Sharada on even further despite its injuries. The collective group of the Hoppip was most definitely at stake! The way it was chattering away also seemed to a warning for Sharada to be careful. The Pokemon Harold had in reserve wasn't a slouch and had caused most of the Hoppip to run in terror. Even the wounded one seemed to shudder at the thought of the Pokemon that it had tried fending off only to be double teamed by the snobbish bulldog and the mystery Pokemon at Harold's disposal.

As she neared in on the white collar worker's location, he was seemingly trying to climb the tree but without an inkling of success. Each time he did a rip could be heard in his finely dressed trousers or his fancy shoes slipped due to having no grip. As he landed on his rear end for the final time, he staggered back up and looked to Sharada with rage. "Don't think some half born twerp is going to stop me!!" This was it. Harold grabbed the Pokeball he had absent-mindedly forgotten about when he was attempting to scale the tree and presented it forth in his hand. "I'll beat you off good an' proper seeing as you can't leave ussssss aloooone!" He was certainly now less tipsy but anger only filled his emotional shoes instead. The Hoppip in the tree looked down and were shuddering with fear. They had flew all the way over here and were now too tired to move an inch more even if their life depended on it.

It was now up to Sharada to be the defender of Route 29. Harold tossed his Pokeball forward with as much grace as a hippo doing synchronised swimming and laughed over enthusiastically as his tyrant of a Pokemon was materialising. From the way Hoppip was hiding behind Sharada's hair it wouldn't be too wrong to think it was a Machamp or a Garchomp... Instead, they were greeted with a teensy tiny little human shaped Pokemon that put up its rather skinny arms in an offensive position. It yelled out with a furious look on its face. Harold and Snubbull may have drowned their sorrows but Tyrogue had remained sober. There was something different about this Pokemon too. It didn't seem to have a naturally mean streak to it. Instead it seemed furious for something the Hoppip had done. Nevertheless, loving its trainer very much, the Tyrogue assumed a combat position as Harold pointed at their foes. "C'mon, c'mon! Place yer bets now, haha!"

[Morrigan]

Her jog after the drunken man soon became that of a walk upon observing him trying to climb the tree. With Hoppip now wriggling out of her arms and hiding amongst Sharada's head of hair, the female trainer placed Togepi on the ground with Buneary, wincing at the sound of his tearing trousers as she stood back to her feet. The guy didn't seem to be doing a good job, instead he was just ruining his perfectly fine suit. Folding her arms, Sharada remained at a safe distance from him, knowing that he wouldnt be able to climb the tree even if he continued to try. Glancing upwards, she could see many freaked out faces as the Hoppips clung together. This maniac had gone on for far to long.

Letting out an unimpressed sigh to remind him of her presence, she raised an eyebrow at the sight of him scrambling up from the floor. Both Togepi and Buneary clung to Sharada's ankles as the man turned his attention back towards her, the words he spoke only making her more enraged herself, "What did you say, you stupid old man?!" Only just noticing the Pokeball in his fist, the reactions from the Hoppip put her on edge a little. There was a chance whatever he was going to be using next would be killer and with her hair shaking due to the hidden Hoppip, she wasn't liking the thought of it.

Gritting her teeth tightly together behind her lips, she felt her ankles being gripped tighter at the Pokeball was lunged forward. Ooh, she hoped so badly that it wasn't anything out of this world impossible to beat. All she wanted was a nice evening with Togepi and Buneary and now this was just getting completely out of hand. As the light morphed into a human shaped Pokemon, she was pleased in a way that it wasn't anything overly huge and completely impossible to beat. The little fellow looked intimidating compared to her pokemon, to say the least but that wasn't going to stop her from giving it a go. "I'm relying on you now Togepi... Hit it with Extrasensory!"

[The REAL Joey]

Harold scoffed loudly at her choice in Pokemon. "Wow! Sending out a baby to fight. You'reee terriball. SHICKENING!" His words were still being slurred by his tongue. Obviously the alcohol was remaining confined to his head, just more specifically in the region of his tongue. He turned to Tyrogue and ordered a move, one that actually made sense this time. It was becoming clear that Harold was no longer messing around, he meant business... Despite the fact he had mentioned he was fired from his job. "TYROGUE! Beat the baby to the punch. Mach Punch!" The fact he was so cavalier about his own Pokemon dabbing that of a mere child in Sharada's corner really didn't help his reputation. The Tyrogue yelled out a traditional martial arts cry and with a swift shuffle of its fist, speeded instantaneously to where Togepi was standing, slamming her right into Sharada's knees. Had she not been there, Togepi would have likely flown around the world and back.

Believing a baby couldn't stand up to that wallop of a punch, Harold had already began climbing his way up the tree again. Unfortunately, Togepi came to and gurgled aggravatedly. It was about to have the biggest paddy it could throw. Focusing its mind, it sent extrasensory waves to the scuffle Pokemon. It looked around in fear as it realised the baby Pokemon had somehow knew its weakness! At this point, Harold fell out of the tree upon realising what had happened. "NO WAY! HOW THE HELL?! NOT POSSIBLE!" Obviously, Harold had overlooked the fact that Togepi knew a special egg move from one of its parents. Tyrogue clinched onto its head and began beating the floor with one fist in agony. Togepi seemed to be enjoying giving the fighting type a mental workout. Harold's mouth was gawking as he tried to figure out what had just happened. "Dammit all to hell! Today is not my day!" He looked up to the Hoppip's and shook his fist angrily.
