Mahagony Knoll - Wild Encounter 1 (Joe)

[latani]

A wild Bidoof (Level 10) wishes to fight!
Please choose a Pokémon to battle it.

[The REAL Joey]

Slightly shaken by the appearance of a Bidoof, Lupin flipped back elegantly while oozing a definite sense of debonair charm to his motion. Taken aback by this, Joe remained silent for a few moments before raising an eyebrow at his Gallade. "Ehhhh... You startin' to come out of your shell? I don't think i've ever seen you move so fast." Frowning slightly, Lupin shook his head. "Ah whatever, least you're doin' something." Unbeknownst to Joe, Lupin wasn't frowning at his words, in actuality, the Blade Pokemon was confused by the fact a Bidoof was hiding there. Was its psychic power really that off? It was almost certain that a Farfetch'd was in this area. Letting it slide, Lupin appeared to be curious on what Joe would do after supporting him once more with his gallant long arms.

"Heh, thanks for the support. Can't wait until I can stand back up by myself properly." Focusing his attention now at the perturbed Bidoof they had disturbed, Joe patted his belt and seemed to be fumbling for a specific Pokemon. "Alrighty... Let's see. We have here a crazy lookin' critter and i'm just so happening to want to test out a stoic little Pineco." Taking the recently acquired ball from his holster, the biker lobbed forward his selection and watched as the dazzling array of light faded to reveal a Pineco. "You're up Knox! Let's see what you're made of!" Realising that the pine cone like beast was still weakened from its capture, Joe smacked his forehead. "You can tell I bonked my head, I can't believe I let somethin' like that happen...!" Now in the battle, it was too late to go back. "Hold on!" Taking out a Super Potion in its orangey container, Joe passed it to Lupin to administer. "Just help me out and douse him with this, alright? You hold the nozzle like this and... There." Letting go of Joe, the Gallade moved forward to act in Joe's place. With a bit of stumbling with the bottle, the Pineco was eventually healed. "Haha! Good as new, eh Knox?"

Remaining stationary, Knox seemed a bit unreceptive to the biker. Tilting his head at the lack of response, Joe shrugged and went to order a move. Despite suffering a nasty fall, the biker was still in high spirits and this came across in his passionate command. "I doubt a Bidoof will give ya much trouble so let's take it down with... Take Down!" Observing in wait, Joe was interested in seeing how this pine like creature would fight. "He's defensive so it'll be good to gauge if he's got any punch behind him too." Whispered Joe to Lupin who nodded in agreement. Looking at the Bidoof again, it was fairly unusual to see the Pokemon so heated up. "Guess you poked him good with those blade arms of yers, heh." Lupin shrugged one side of shoulder and paid further attention to what Knox would do.

Items used:

x1 Super Potion (Auto updating myself and inb4 someone moans about a Pokemon using a man made item. I'm aware they can't in game as a hold item but for the sake of continuity with Joe tumbling down a cliff side and not being able to move about so quickly, it makes sense. Least Gallade are humanoid too in their appearance and it isn't something with no hands or equally as impossible.)

[Morrigan]

Still bewildered, shocked and emotionally hurt by the sudden poke of the tall and scary Gallade, the confused Bidoof was at a loss of what to do. It wanted to turn and run into the deep dark foliage of the forest away from this rude human. Having lived in and eventually escaping from Cherrygrove streets, it had hoped to never bump into these strange creatures again. As thoughts rolled in his mind, the Bidoof stood in a dazed manner shaking his head up and down as well as side to side, almost as if it were arguing with itself. They surely were daft and dumb creatures, this one being no better.

Not even noticing Joe tossed out another Pokemon, it was instead the sudden movement from Lupin what made the brown creature jump in horror. Whilst spraying Pineco to heal him up, Lupin too was victim of the sudden high pitch nervous cry which left Bidoof's jaw, both of Joe's Pokemon looking to one another as if to question what that was all about. Either way, as Lupin retreated back to Joe's side, Bidook let out a slight sigh of relief, thinking that his growl had worked when really it was Knox who was about ready to attack. Flinging himself along the forest floor like some sort of ticking time bomb, Knox crashed his own body straight into the Bidoof without hesitation, infact the sudden impact may just knock some sense into the creature.

Due to the great impact, both Pokemon ended up tumbling straight into a tree trunk, Knox hurting himself just slightly and Bidoof just laying there lifelessly. Staring with his bright red eyes, Knox stood over the fake sleeping Bidoof, shrugging its body before bouncing off to one side. The Bidoof, however, managed to finally crank open it's eyes, veins running angrily along it's head as it stared at the Pineco with indignation. Letting out an almost terrifying war cry, the changed Bidoof tore through the rock hard earth, tackling Knox straight into the ground and scuffling with him amongst the tall foliage. Both Pokemon eventually struggled out, looking at each other with heavy breath. It seemed the Take Down had really made the once dumb Bidoof snap, it's head literally pulsating with a strange and scary amount of anger.

[The REAL Joey]

Watching intently on the explosive battle before them, Joe couldn't help but notice how much like a grenade Knox was. The way it had flung itself up and stormed down into the general vicinity of the beaver opponent was nothing to laugh at. "So not only is Knox a defensive wall but a bleedin' tank. He takes hits just as well as he dishes 'em out. Interestin', I might have some uses for you after all." The Bidoof on the other hand now seemed in an absolute frenzy. The attack really had rattled up the once dozing Bidoof. Eyeing it with some curiosity, this was again something else the biker had never seen before. On a number of wild life TV programmes, they had stated all Bidoof to be generally docile and actually quite dim witted.

To see this so heated up made the temptation to catch it even greater. "Heh, why not. I got Pokeballs to spare." Shifting into his belt pocket, the blonde male took out a familiar device and enlarged it by clicking on the safety lock. "I may be beat up pretty bad but I can still throw like a pro!" Lifting his arm backward with some difficulty, Joe tossed forward the Pokeball with some oomph and watched it soar towards the target. "You may not have been the bird but you'll do all the same." With the Pokeball doing its business, Joe turned to look at Knox and was surprised to see how perfectly still it remained. "Must be a tough crowd to entertain, I bet."

Bidoof was ready to rip this stupid living pinecone into small, unrecognizable pieces and eat them. And then it would go for the man, start by gnawing off his ankles and then his hands. Oh how its revenge would be glorious! It would be fitting after it was so callously hurt by the human's ignorant Gallade, and then bashed ridiculously hard by a damn malignant growth that was spawned by a tree. A tree, for pity's sakes.

The fire in its eyes was blazing now, though it was hard to see where the plump rodent walked on the fine line between spitting anger and just pure insanity. It glared past Knox right to Joey, as if its eyes alone could make him spontaneously combust. Plans for vengeance were still whirling through its brain when something made contact with the side of its head.

"BII BI BII!" the rodent roared, enraged once more at being struck by something. How much more misery was it going to have to go through? This was answered as the capsule sprang open and absorbed the furious beast, rendering it safe from further harm and at the same time, containing its rather volatile rage. The sphere hit the forest floor and began twitching madly, rocking so hard it actually bounced up and down like an agitated Mexican jumping bean. Finally, after a tense two minutes, it ceased moving.
