Warming Up with Noodles and Battles [F]

[Tiki]

As the noise got louder, Alex knew that he was getting closer to this scene, and he was surprised by... ANOTHER POACHER!? He wondered why there are still some more poachers. Are Officer Jenny's understaffed?

Also he was surprised to see the bird trainer Peter again, at least it looks like that guy was defending some wild flying Pokemon. With the Cacnea by his side, and observing the Pokemon out in the field battling, he stayed silent for a few seconds while thinking what to do.

He tossed out two Pokeballs, and shouted some orders. "Come help the Swablus, Scarout and Roshineu! Noctike, climb on Scarout and aim at the Cubchoo! Then, ai your Poison Sting on the locks on the cages! Scarout, fly and dodge the attacks coming at you and Noctike."

Then, he turned to his Budew, who remained still while soaking in some sun, and completely unfazed by the scene ongoing. "Roshineu, use Absorb on whichever Poliwag."

Whichever? The Budew thought, and then she just focused her energy to absorb some energy from whichever Poliwags who wanted to attack her, or looked like would be attacking her.

OOC: okay I think this is a double battle?
The Fearow and Cacnea are making to rescue the swablus while the Budew is fighting?!
Im also thinking in anime... >_>

[Tarlar]

Perhaps Shouting hadn't been the best way of entering the battle, as it took away the element of surprise. Not that it did that much difference when Scarout was so fast as he was, and he would have had a great opportunity to get a direct attack in, but he followed Alex's order and concentrated in avoiding any attacks, which gave the wobbufet a chance to react.
It raised its arms. "Wobbu.." And let them fall to its side with a "Fet!" The air shimmered in front of it and the cubchoo as the Safeguard took affect.

"Chrrroo" Cubchoo Growled as warning to the attacking flying pair, it turned into a cry when Noktike's needles flew through the air at hit it. They changed color from deep dark purple to a light violet as they flew through the Safeguard and was removed most of their poison.
The cubcho did its best to get out of the way as Scarout and Noktike continued towards them, but the ground was muddy from the rain, which made the get away slower and resultet in it getting more brown than white.
The Poison Sting mostly bounced harmless off the iron lock, though a few got stuck in the keyhole. To open it they would need the key, or a much more heavy force if it should be crushed.

"What?!" The Poacher exclaimed as she noticed the new arrivals and she glared furiously at Alex for a moment, before she turned to her helper. 
"What are you waiting for? Didn't I hire you to take care of disturbers?" She snarled and pointed at her pokemon's opponents.
Henry glanced quickly at Alex pokemon before he returned to his own battle. "I'm a bit busy here!" He snapped.
One of his poliwags were doing alright against Peter's pidgey, having make it hard for it to fly by soaking its feathers. The other poliwag had a hard time fighting the doduo's two head at once while the spearow flew back and forth between the two poliwags and had plenty of opportunities to attack them from behind.

"If I need something done, I have to do it myself." She muttered with an annoyed grimace. "If my hair get destroyed from this, I will take it from your pay!" She warned Hnery, who ignored her for now.
"Bobba, defend Cho you know what to do. Cho, they doesn't like your ice attacks, so use them whenever they get close enough!" She ordered her pokemon and turned back to stare at Alex.
"Who are you, and why are you attacking?" She demanded to hear as her eyes jumped from Alex to Reymond, who still stood beside him. Sally was hiding behind a bush a few meter behind them. This was too dangerous for her.

Reynold laid a hand on Alex shoulder. "Is there anything I can do to help you?" He asked quietly. "I don't know how much help I can be in the battle, but I'm willing to try as long as my daughter is out of danger."

OOC: I haven't calculated the battle against the poliwags since there wasn't really any attacks thrown between them and Roshineu. You are free to attack them directly if you want, but you can also chose to concentrate on the Blue Chick's pokemon instead. (Which I think I will suggest, unless you chose to focus in the poliwags first) You can do as the bird trainer and send more than two pokemon in the head of hers(for this battle only), though if you do, I will ask you to only call one attack pr pokemon you are using Mostly because I hadn't noticed how much HP wobbufet had and its ability removes your opportunity to switch pokemon.
-I will be rolling a dice for Wobbufet's attacks, to see if it chooses Mirror Coat or Counter to mimick the games.

I'm always thinking anime, it is much more fun. ^^

[Tiki]

OOC: im just gonna ignore the poliwags and pretend the bird trainer peter is fighting the poliwags, unless peter fails and then I can call Roshineu to attack XD (up to you)

IC:

When Alex realized this is a double battle, he rethink his strategy to something more efficient, hopefully. That Wobbufet could be dangerous. That Cubchoo could be dangerous too with the type advantage against his flying type and grass types. He would have to take them out eventually, but in which order and what moves?

"Scarout and Noctike, be careful with the Cubchoo, got it?" Alex yelled passionately after he heard how the Pokemon poacher ordered her Cubchoo to use ice type attacks when they get close enough. Yeah right. He then added, "I'm attacking you becausse poaching Pokemon is illegal. Use a Pokeball, they're not expensive!" Well, inexpensive for Alex because he got quite a few of them free.

Before he order his Pokemon to attack though, he turned his head to whisper to the father and daughter pair, hopefully only the two of them can hear it. "If you have Pokemon, maybe you can try to sneak to the cage while I'm distracting with this battle?" Well, he wasn't sure if this would work, but he was suggesting.

"Scarout, Aerial Ace on the Cubchoo. Noctike, Poison Sting on the Cubchoo too!" he knew that Aerial Ace would not be an effective move, but it's a better option than Fury Attack and Pursuit right now. He also know that he can't poison the Cubchoo with Safeguard on, but it might be more damaging than the ineffective Absorb, perhaps.

[Tarlar]

The Blue Chick laughed bubbling. "Who says I'm a poacher? I'm just trying to protect these poor babies from meanies like you!" She said with a bad imitation of a sweet little girl.
"And you still need to tell me who you are." She said and looked like she was bored. She made no indication that she planned to introduce herself.
As Alex turned his attention to Randolf she pouted and glared at him, she did not like to be ignored.

Randolf chose to do as Alex and ignored the woman, and he nodded seriously at Alex suggestions. "I shall see what I can do." He whispered back.
He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and with a glance at hidden Sally he laid both his hands on Alex shoulder, to look him directly in the eyes. "I can't takeher with me now, it is too dangerous. Please protect her should it be necessary." He said and wouldn't let go of Alex before he agreed.
Randolf returned to Sally and had a whispering conversation with her, obviously trying to make sure she stayed where she was and promising her, he would return quickly.
He then walked to the girafarig trainer, who had finally recalled his pokemon, and whispered something in his ear. The two of them soon disappeared in between the bushes.

The blue Chick narrowed her eyes suspiciously at the two disappearing men and she looked to Henry in the hope he would do something, but he was still too occupied with the three birds.
Her attention was drawn back as Alex shouted his commands and the pokemon went into action.
Scarout was far the fastest and as the cubchoo was still a bit stuck in the mud, it was an easy hit for the big fearow.
"Sniffer!" The Blue Chick exclaimed. It somehow helped the Cubchoo to pull itself together and soon it blew Powder Snow after the attackers. It was freezing!
Scarout was able to free himself of the chilly snow with a few powerful beats of his wings, but Noctike had a hard time controlling her muscles and getting the needles loose.
It gave the wobberfet plenty of time to get in front of the cubchoo and it shimmered red-ish as the few needles hit it. It straightened abruptly and the needles flew in the opposite direction with the double force, and hit their mark: Noctike. She didn't noticed as she was way too cold to take care of those tiny needles.

[Tiki]

As the battle continued, Alex felt a bit troubled by the super-effective Cubchoo with its ice type attack, and also he was weary of the Wobbuffet. In either case, he decided he need a plan, but for now he's still assessing the strength and weakness of his opponents. His Fearow can kind of handle this for now, but he'll have to be careful.

"Noctike, come here!" he yelled as he kneel down on his knees to get an item from his traveling bag. "Drink this potion or you'll faint." The Cacnea hastily hopped back toward her trainer, and grabbed the small bottle of potion. The Pokemon opened her mouth as the liquid ran from the bottle to her mouth. Soon, she could feel her energy coming back.

"Of course you are a poacher! You're no better than the poachers who capture Houndour and make them mad!" he replied defiantly, thinking about that one time he had a triple battle with the three Houndours, and then following their tracks. Nevermind that one of the Houndour just have a dumb farmer for trainer.

"Scarout, use Leer on both of them!" he then ordered an attack before getting distracted from talking with the "poacher. He then replied the chic's question with another question, "So are you like a Team Rocket Admin or Team Rocket poacher in disguise?"
Oh, he was definitely evasive.


OOC: used potion on Noctike, Scarout used Leer (should hit both opponent)

[Tarlar]

The Blue Chick narrowed her eyes suspiciously at Randolf and the girafarig trainer as they walked away and disappeared. She suddenly seemed a bit hurried and worried.
She turned to Henry who was still rather occupied with the birds.
"This is not what I'm paying you for! Now we will soon have Police officers all over the place!" She shrieked, ruining the graceful and proud posture she had had until now.
"I'm doing everything I can! It is not my fault you decided to do this so close to a busy road!" Henry snapped back and made a happy exclamation a moment later, when one of his poliwags managed to knock out the Pidgey.
"Good, not take down that spearow!" He continued to order his pokemon around. He ignored the tirade the Blue Chich threw at him, leaving her pokemon to fend for themselves.

They did alright on their own, though they could have used some guidance as their teamwork wasn't the best. Wubberfett was still standing in front of Sniffer and ready to counter anything used against it, but it failed in returning the leer, though it did its best to glare back!
Sniffer was a lot more nervous and as the big fearow glared angrily at it, it readied itself for an incoming attack.

Hmm, it looks like it would be possible to get Henry on your side too, if you plays your card correctly (that wasn't planned in the beginning XD) And this post is rather short, but there will be some action in the next one!
(OOC: Deducted one potion)

[Tiki]

"This is not what I'm paying you for! Now we will soon have Police officers all over the place!" Alex smirked when he heard that. That wasn't exactly his goal but it sounds like he got her mind troubled, which hopefully could help him battle. A distracted mind is bad for battling!

He was starting to have a strategy planned, but he wasn't sure if it could be executed perfectly. He folded his arms, conscious of himself right now, and shouted his next order to his Pokemon. "Noctike, use Growth! Scarout, use Aerial Ace on the Cubchoo!"

The Cacnea embraced herself, and looked toward the sky for some little sunlight. Then, her body glowed a lime-green, and seemed to enlarged by a few millimeters. "CAC-NEA!" The stubby armed Pokemon shouted and stared at the Wobbuffet and Cubchoo.

Scarout, on the other hand, took to the sky again and kept his eyes on the Cubchoo. After narrowing her focus on the opponent, she began swooping down!

After giving his next move, Alex noticed that the girl wasn't answering his question either. In response, he proposed this to her, "How about if you answer my question and I'll answer yours. But if you don't want to answer mine then I won't answer yours either/ Is this fair?"

[Tarlar]

The Blue Chick looked almost surprised when Alex talked to her, was he still here?
She looked like she thought about his proposion about answering questions, though she actually had to try remember what he had said earlier, now she had been busy worrying the law enforcers would arrive.
When she remembered she snerred at him, though she didn't answer rigth away as she had to phrase her words in a way so he couldn't hear she had forgot.
"No, I would never have anything to do with people having such bad taste in design!" She said disdainfully and wrinkled her little nose as she found the thought disgusting.
"Don't ever compare me to those uneducated tepigs!"

She huffed and found her old pose looking superior down on Alex, doing her best looking like a noble who was wasting her time talking to a peasant.
"You will just know me as Madam Blue and I expect you start behaving like you actually have some manners, or else our conversation is over!" She told him firmly as she was not stupid enough to give him her name. When she won the battle he could tell that to the authorities along with a lot of lies and give her plenty of trouble,
"So tell me now, who are you who so rudely interrupts my fair share of a few pokemon?" She asked him back and did not remove her eyes from him.
It was a fine distraction from the ongoing battle, and Noctike could unhindered grow a bit, while Scarout readied himself for the dive.

Then hell broke out.

Every one paused for a moment as something big and brown leaped out from some nearby bushes and raced towards them. It was a tauros.
"Wobbufett, stop it!" Madam blue shrieked and Wobbufett hurried forward confused in the attempt to stop the charging tauros.
Scarout saw the unguarded cubchoo and was quick to take advantage of it and dived.
"Sniffer!" Madam Blue screamed as her ice type was sent rolling over the ground and did not get back to its feat again. Then she had to cover her face as the tauros crashed into the cage sending the wooden bars flying all over the place.
Wobbufet had arrived too late and as it had wanted to take the tauros down with it, though the attack hadn't even been directed at it, it didn't do a thing.

Not that it made the situation for the tauros much better, it staggered unsteadily back from the destoryed cage, obviously dazed.
"Well done Toto!" A voice roared and Reymond came running together with the girafarig trainer and the pachirisu.
"The swablus!" The girafarig trainer shouted and pointed at the birds, who was now flying in all directions in panic. Peter the Bird Keeper reacted instantly and got his spearow to attack both poliwags with fury attacks while the dodue was sent off after a swably with a quick attack.
Reymond followed suit by ordering the pachirisu to use quick attack on another swablu, while the wobbufet looked confused at all the happening around it, but as Madam Blue was too busy shouting at the others for stealing her pokemon, there were no help from her.

One of the swablus just dodged one of doduo's heads, which immediately turned its attention ot another swablu, while the dodging one was heading straight towards Alex in the hope it could get past him and out.

A wild Swablu |lvl 12|, tries to run away by flying directly towards you!
What will you do? 

~Claimed and reserved until the Swablu encounter is finished (better remember to put this in again)~
(OOC: I'm just going to make this a tripple battle ^^
This is a "Madam Blå", which is her name translated directly to danish. XD

[Tiki]

Alex scoffed at the "Madam Blue"'s comment, he quickly added, "Is the big R that bad? Or the color contrast? Or is it because they're using too simple of a logo? And fine, but you're still a poacher!"

"You can call me Alex, but what kind of behaviors are you expecting when you capture Pokemon like that? Everyone knows you're supposed to capture them with your own Pokemon and your own Pokeballs," he answered the girl, finally giving in and tell her his name, or part of his name.

Then, out of nowhere, something hit the metal cages, and released all the captured Swablus. He looked over and saw the chaos ensued. He wondered if Reymond would try to capture one for his daughter right now. He also saw Peter and his Pokemon panicking to try to at least get one Swablu under control, while trying to take down the Poliwags. Seriously though, why was he still fighting the Poliwags? They aren't as tough and troublesome like a Wobbuffet.

Thinking of which, he turned back to the battle and saw the Cubchoo fainted. He smiled as he got at least one of the Pokemon down. Then--

WOAH!

His Budew that he sent to battle the Poliwags seemed to be doing nothing as Peter had got the Poliwags by himself, and so she came back and bounced on her way back. He nearly step on her just as a Swablu was flying in his direction. He lost balance in all directions, but managed to still stand on his feet as he was reorient himself in this.

"Roshineu, watch out!" he shouted as he was about to step on her. "Wait, don't let the Swablu go! Use Stun Spore! But not right next to me!"

Finally, back to this battle with the Wobbuffet, he told Scarout and Noctike, "Both of you, use Leer on the Wobbuffet!"

---

OOC: so i realize I sent out my Budew but then i ignore it for like a few turns XD It got bored and came back?

also I'm gonna try to catch this Swablu really quick.

Also Leer is a way for me to speed up this battle because this Wobbuffet is kinda tanky for my moves.

[Tarlar]

Madam blue scowled at Alex. "I. Am. Not. A. Poacher!" She snapped furiously ignoring his mocking comment about what was wrong with Team Rocket's uniforms.
"I did capture them with my own pokemon, and the only reason I haven't used pokeballs yet, is because I needed to see who was the most elegant one. I can't just take anything! Only the best is good enough for me!" She hizzed and looked around at the chaos around her.
"No! You are stealing MY pokemon!" She shrieked as she saw how all around her started to attack the escaping swablus. She was ignored as Henry concentrated on getting the spearow down, which didn't look like a big problem as it was two against one.
The Birdkeeper did his best with his attention spread between the battle his spearow had, and his doduo's attempt of attacking one of the swablus. He quickly realized his error and took a chance by ordering his doduo to abandon what it was doing and return to battle only the poliwags, which made a few of the swablus find a way to freedom and disappear into the wildernes.
Henry scowled as the doduo was more skilled than the spearow and his poliwags lost their easy win they had just thought they would get.

"Toro, pull yourself together! You can do it! i'm with you!" Reynold roared and the tauros shook its head but was still too confused to do something. It wasn't used to battle after all, and all the shouting and chaos with pokemon everywhere and escaping swablus didn't make it any better.
It wasn't much better for the wobbuffet since Madam Blue was still too agitated about what was happening, and too distracted by Alex's words to think of giving it any orders.
It did its best to keep an eye out on everyone and try counter anything thrown in its or its trainers direction, but as no-one actually attacked..

Beside Reynold, the girafarig trainer gestured and said something to the father, which Alex couldn't hear, but as Reynold soon after gave orders to pachirisu who stopped not only one but two swablus, he had probably given him advices.

The swablu who had been heading towards Alex and Roshineu, made a surprised sound as the budew filled the air in front of it with spores. It was surprisingly agile for a bird with fluffy wings and it managed somehow to turn direction fast enough to avoid them.
That was the end of its skills though, as its quick maneuver sent it spiraling to the ground where it landed with a soft thud.
It looked warily at them and growled at Roshineu before it tried to continue its escape by foot. It was hard to get off the ground as it wasn't very aerial built.

[Tiki]

"You know that you can just capture one Swablu at a time, and then when you have enough, you can select the one you like and release or trade away the ones you don't like, right?" Alex was unmoved by her answer, continued to verbally fight her as well as this ongoing Pokemon battle.

When he realized that he was stalling long enough, he ordered his Cacnea to attack first, "Noctike, here's your chance and go for an Absorb!" He watched nervously as his Cacnea readied and aim her arms on the Wobbuffet. Then, turning his attention to his Fearow, he added, "Go for a Leer again, Scarout!" The Fearow crowed and flew toward the Wobbuffet, positioning himself before making an intimidating face with his eyes.

Then when he turned his head to deal with the Swablu and his Budew fighting it, he caught a glimpse of the Girafarig trainer and Reynold speaking. In a blink of an eye, the Pachirisu somehow knocked out somw Swablu. He smiled cunningly when he saw that happened. Does this mean that the girl gets TWO Swablu now?

"Roshineu, chase the Swablu and try a Stun Spore again!" he stressed his voice loudly, trying to keep his head clear while maintaining a double battle and a single battle at the same time. The cheery Budew immediately hopped and went after the Swablu, with a smile on her face and less of yelling her Pokemon name.


OOC: im almost there, almost to taking out Wobbuffet... lol. like a few posts left hopefully.
alright I swear i'm not writing OOC in everything but I thikn im addicted to have both IC and OOC in 90% of my posts right now. #cant get rid of this disease.

also naming my Qwilfish from the box


Name: Noxander
Gender: Male
Level: 11
Attacks: Tackle, Minimize, Spike, Poison Sting
Ability: Poison Point
Personality/Nature: Hasty
Noxander likes to rush into action, puffing his body up with air. His spiky body also enables him to be somewhat amphibian, standing on land with the spiky part. He also likes to wag his tail intimidatingly, as if rushing his opponent or other people/Pokemon to be get to his speed.

[Tarlar]

Madam Blue groaned annoyed and rolled her eyes, clearly showing she though Alex's remark was stupid. "Don't you think I would have done that, if that had been possible?" She asked him with a glare. "I need to campare them to know which one I keep, and beofre you ask, do you know how many pokeballs I would waste on catching pokemon I don't keep?" She asked with another huff. She wasn't about going to sell the other swablus she had caugth, though she didn't say anything about that. She didn't needed the money, but she wanted rare pokemon no-one else had, and selling a lot of the one she wanted herself, kinda destroyed that.

Madam Blue had somewhat calmed down and she turned from Alex to try get an idea of what was going on around her. Not that there were much she could do, with only wobbuffet left as Reynold and the girafarig trainer refused to attack it (strangely enough), and instead focused on a pair of swablu's instead.
Wobbuffet tried to get in the way of the pachirisu, but as Alex's pokemon continued to bother it, it found it hard to concentrate on it.
"Deal with the boys pokemon first Wobbuffet." Madam Blue ordered, not because it was the smartest thing to do, but because she could do little else as Wobbuffet needed attacks shot at it, and at the moment Alex was the only one who would give such opportunities.

As Wobbuffet glowed ready to sent any physical attacks aimed at it, back on the sender, Madam Blue looked calculating at Alex. She needed to finish this fast to either get a chance to catch some of the swablus or to at least get away safely. She was sure she would win as soon as Alex ordered attacks used against her. The problem was he didn't!
She cursed under her breath when Alex did call an attack, but it was both the wrong from what her wobbuffet had readied itself for, and was so ineffective it could just as well have done nothing.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of a direct confrontation? Who should have thought that would ever happen, a pokemon trainer who is afraid of attacking." She tried to insult him. "Come on, show me what you got! I dare you, Wobbuffet can take anything you sent at it, try your luck!" She taunted him and smirked as she had done this before. All trainers eventually had to start attacking her passive pokemon, and then the battle was soon over with her as winner!
And her friends had thought she had just chosen the ugly blue pokemon, because of its color! No she was smarter than that and it had been a long time since she had lost a battle.

Beside her, completely ignored was Henry beginning to loose his advantage and his poliwags lost ground in the battle against the two flying types, who clearly was well trained. After a few successful hits, one of the poliwags was knocked down and the bird keeper instantly sent his spearow to help Reynold and the girafarig trainer with the ones they tried to keep from escaping. The doduo's two head gave the last poliwag plenty to concentrate about.
Toto the tauros had recovered enough to try help with the swablus, but didn't succeed with much else than some randomly flailing with its horns and destroying the rest of the wooden cage with its hoofs.

The swablu which Alex tried to stop was hopping away the best it could, but as the safest and most direct route away from all this mess was past him, it wouldn't get out of reach right away. Roshineu didn't make it any better when she filled the air with spores once again, and as the swably didn't have the advantage of its agility in the air, its jumping attempt to avoid them failed miserably.
It had to stop as it gave it a coughing which Alexx and Roshineu was kind enough not to take advantage of.

Then with no warning at all, it leaped at Roshineu with a terrifying expression at its face, which, if swablu had been the one to start the round, could have startled Roshineu quite a bit. Now it was probalby just a bit surprising, but as it had just sounded really weak while coughing and she knew it would be easier to deal with, now it was paralyzed, it wasn't very scary. It hurt a bit when it slammed into her, but that was all.

"Um... what's wrong with wasting Pokeballs? They're being mass produced all the times! They're not too expensive either!" Alex responded to the Pokeball response the blue chic had, confounded by how stingy she was. "Are you.... broke?" he asked curiously, feeling awkward to even ask this question.

He thought he nearly had it when the Wobbuffet and Madam Blue were scrambling to keep up with the ongoing battle, as well as the ongoing commotion of Swablu escaping. Their chirping were also very loud. Then, when she challenged him to start attacking, he knew that she picked up on how his Pokemon weren't attacking, but rather weakening the Wobbuffet.

Alex turned his head on the Budew-Swablu situation, and then turned his head toward the ongoing double battle. Perhaps it was time to execute his strategy and make this work? "Being a Pokemon trainer doesn't mean that I should send out attack all the time. There are defensive moves too, you know?"

"But, hold on one second," he added and then paused his words. He turned around as he pulled out a Great Ball from his backpack, readying to throw toward the paralyzed Swablu. "I hope I can catch you!" he shouted as he tossed the sphere.

Then, completely ignoring whether the capture device hit the target or not, he turned and resumed speaking to Madam Blue. "Or I can try my best, you know. Noctike, use Absorb! Scarout, Aerial Ace!"

OOC: -1 great ball myself, self deduct.
Fearow use Aerial Ace, Cacnea used Absorb

LMAO this thread will get to page 15 or something before I'm done with my added target to capture pokes.

editing a bit more pokemon stuff from my party/box

Rupi the Cherubi:
Nature/Personality: Timid
Rupi is a little on the timid side, and by little, it is meant he shies away from everything in sight. He might even avoid his trainer, if he can.

(I just like picking an in game nature at the top then elaborate on the bottom, but the bottom part kataya wrote it already so i just put the Timid on the top for my nature count)

Madam Blue looked disdainfully at Alex, though he probably was getting used to it by now.
"So you are one of those 'buy and throw out' kind of people." She said with disgust. "Do you know how many destroyed pokeballs which lays around? Do you know how many failed attempts there are laying scattered around? How many empty potion bottles, how many used TM-disks and other discarded items which are just thrown away when trainers like you have no need for them anymore?" She clearly was upset about this and gestured wildly while she spoke.
"I don't care about how much a pokeball do or do not cost, money isn't a problem for me. But I do care for what happens to all the poor pokemon which get injured by stepping on those things!" She almost shouted furiously. "I know you all don't like my methods and believes I'm a poacher, but would a poacher have caught the pokemon unharmed!?" She asked and gestured to the few remaining swablus, who really did look alrigth, scared but relatively unharmed.
"You can think what you want, but the bad guys here are you!" She said despicably. "You all attacked without asking what was actually going on!"

Everyone else around them didn't react to her words, they were too occupied with their own battles to concentrate about what she said, though. The remaining poliwag had now figured the doduo out so they were more equal in their battle, but it meant they just kept dodoging each others attacks and it would be a very long battle, unless one if the trainers came up with something new.

It went much better for Reynold and the girafarig trainer, now they got help from the spearow who kept their opponent swablus close to the ground, which made it easier for the pachirisu to hit them it its quick attack. That was more or less what they did, no fancy movement or ideas. 
Reynold's pokemon clearly wasn't used to battle, and though pachirisu did a fine job, the tauros still stomped around on the rest of the cage, not doing anything productive at all.

Behind Alex, the sound of a rustling bush could be heard briefly.

Madam blue huffed annoyed when Alex told her there were more to battling than attacking. She sent him a 'really' look? Her remaining pokemon didn't have any offensive attacks.
"Don't you think I know that with the pokemon I have?" She asked not saying anything more precise. If Alex didn't know how special Wobbuffet was, she was not the one who enlightened him since she perhaps could use it against him.
She groaned annoyed when Alex asked her to wait for him, she would have loved to attack him when he was distracted, but she obviously couldn't.
Her expression darkened when she saw him threw a pokeball on the swablu, which quickly was drewn within. They were all  quite as they watched the pokeball shake several times, and then, just as it lay still, it snapped open and the swablu flew directly at Roshineu with another astonish.

"Ha! That's what you get from trying to steal!" Madam Blue said mockingly before looking expactantly at Scarout as the bird finally charged at Wobbuffet, who was ready for it.
It was hit hard, which Madam Blue wathced with no sign of sympathy at all, but as it readied itself for a payback it was hit with the much weaker absorb, which turned its direction at Noktike instead.
Madam Blue uttered a very masculine curse, which made her sound like she was an old sailor, which was explained a moment later as Wobbuffet shimmered and a light beam hit Noctike.
She had forgot about it being a double battle, she usually used her cubchoo to take out or at least distract the second opponent so her Wobbuffet got a chance to do some real damage.

#This post got too much pokemon politics in it. It got too dark I'm sorry.

IC:
He listened impatiently while doing another round of verbal human battle with Madam Blue, as it looks like it's a bit more intense than the Pokemon battle. He raised an eyebrow as he was disgusted with her opinion, since this was getting into Pokemon-Human-Environmental Politics. Alex sighed and replied, "Well, I wouldn't worry about the empty Pokeballs. Pokemon like Aron eats mineral, you know? I'm sure they're happy for free food. As for the potion bottles and TM discs, aren't there people who pick them up? For recycling? Or Pokemon who picks them up? Or Pokemon who recycles them? Pokemon adapts to our technologies too!"

"I think you're confusing poacher with a ranger. You're supposed to weaken the Pokemon then try to capture it. This isn't because of the invention of Pokeballs, but because this human-Pokemon relationship is built on respect. Pokemon let us capture them and train them because we earn their respect to challenge their strength and then weaken them so that we can catch it. Of course, there are Pokemon that joins you without any effort from you, but there's some respect in there because of what they see in you," the aspiring nerd doctor lectured, with a serious and confident tone. He wondered how she'll reply to that.

Then, he looked around to check on the other things going on. Okay, he thought, so maybe the escaped Swablu situation is getting somewhere.

Next, Alex returned his attention to the battle with her, and, the battle with the Swablu. He was taking his chance with the paralysis and Great Ball, but that did not go well. "Ugh. Roshineu, use Absorb!" he ordered, thinking that even an ineffective move could lower some health for weakening, and to regain the health lost from the few turns earlier.

"Haha, nope. This is what I get for taking my chances. You could have been making fun of me for throwing a Great Ball at full health, but you didn't," Alex answered sarcastically, deflecting the opponent's mockery. "Alright I'm tired of talking to you. Noctike, use Absorb again. Scarout, Aerial Ace!"
