Surely the sooner he ended this, the sooner they'd let him return to his meal. With that motivation in mind, the numel managed to trundle away from the piplup in time to avoid its first attack, although he wasn't too lucky with the second.
"Nummm!!" He growled, again, with more ire this time. The piplup struck him as almost hesitant or something, so that also spurred him on to put in more effort to this battle. He threw his dopey head around before marching after the penguin pokémon again to tackle it, hopefully with more luck this time.
Numel dodged pound! Numel was hit by pound! Numel used growl! "Simple" ability activates and growl's effect is doubled! Numel used tackle!
Status: 50% Health Bane has been growled at allot! Bane used Pound x2! Sera threw a Pokeball!
Whelp. This wasn't working. It just wasn't working. Her Piplup was just far too weak for this clearly superior berry eating monster. Sera was pretty darn sure at this point that Bane could pound away at this creature all day and never get anywhere at all. Not with it growling like that. It was aggressive and had moxie, Sera ordinarily liked moxie but not when it was to the point of making her look like a fool. "Alright... fine. Have it your way Numel, either way you WILL be mine. Once I capture you, you can have all the silly little berries you could ever eat."
Reaching into her back pocket, she privately closed her fingers around one of her empty Pokeballs with a smirk. "Bane, distract it for me will you hun? You know what to do." What to do? Of course Bane knew what to do! All he had been doing over and over and over was pound the things bloody face in. It's not like Bane had done much else since Sera took command of his life. But what... hun? She called him hun! Beaming with happiness, Bane's eyes shone with brilliance even after the Numel's tackle knocked it over and made it roll across the ground.
Ouch... that looked kinda painful and now her Piplup was covered in bruises. But sure enough, her Pokemon recovered quickly enough and she had the pleasure of watching him rush onwards to make his next move. With shrewd eyes, Sera watched and waited. Waited until Bane had made his next attack and waited until the Numel was distracted enough to not see the Pokeball she would send flying towards its face. She intended to capture it and end this growl fest once and for all.
The lady said she'd feed him berries... but he wasn't sure how much of that he could believe, plus he could continue fighting! So, even when he was pounded, even when a pokéball was thrown at him and he managed to escape... he refused to give in. He was as stubborn as he was greedy.
"Numel!" He growled angrily, his patience wearing thin as the hunger in his gut began to bother him. He marched after the piplup to tackle into it with the full force of his body.
Numel was hit by pound! Numel was hit by pound! Rolled 90 out of 100... Numel escaped the pokéball! Numel used tackle! Numel used tackle!
Bane Dodged [2/2] Bane was hit by Tackle Sera used Potion! Bane used Pound x2!
The ball rocked, once, twice, then burst open to reveal a very angry Numel. Sera's eyes widened in disbelief. This Pokemon... was even stronger then she thought. Oh yes, he would make a very worthy addition to her team. If only she could find some way to subdue it first. This thing was simply not playing nice at all. Staring intently at the Numel, she noticed as it's body shifted into it's next attack. And it looked like quite the big one. Slightly alarmed, Sera shouted her orders.
"Dodge it Bane!" The Numel's attacks dove at the Piplup, who at the startled cry of his trainer had tried to dodge the Numel's attacks to the best of its ability. But even so, it was not quick enough to dodge both of them. Now battered and bruised, Bane huffed at his foe at his trainers side with a new set of ouchies. "I know it hurts but you got to keep going. You have to keep on fighting!" Bane had to... he HAD to. If he fainted, Sera wasn't sure how she was going to be able to catch this Numel. And not catching it was simply not an option.
Making her decision, Sera fished a Potion out of her pouch and quickly sprayed the liquid on her Pokemon. Now, Bane had the upper hand and could see this fight through to the very end. "There, don't say I never did anything for you alright? Now for the love of everything, please go pound that Numels face in!"
He was tired. He was exhausted. All these pound attacks were steadily chipping away at what health he had left. Didn't these people get a hint?
Just... a little longer...
He could last a little longer.
Knowing this would likely be his last chance to attack and deal damage of some sort, however futile it was, Numel went for a last couple of tackles. He knew he'd be captured after but he wanted it to be known that he wasn't going willingly, even if the female human had promised berries.
Numel was hit by pound! Numel was hit by pound! Numel used tackle! Numel used tackle!
And the bloody thing just wouldn't give up and die. It had a fiery fighting spirit that simply was something else. Once again, Seraphine had to take a moment to truly appreciate the power house that was this Numel. Who would have honestly guessed that such a lazy Pokemon would fight so damn hard. And for a tiny pile of berries no less! Just imagine what he would be capable of if his motivation was put in the proper places. She couldn't wait to slowly twist and corrupt it to Team Magma's cause! But of course, first she had to put it in it's proper place. Which was taking far longer then she wanted it to because it felt the insistent need to show it's displeasure in the future that had been chosen for him. 'Suck it up buttercup, your mine.'
The Numel dove at Bane, smashing him full on his front. Letting out a startling cry he sailed through the air, only to be assaulted yet again and thrown to the side. He hit the ground rolling, gathering a nice collection of dirty bruises from the excursion. Man, what were the chances of his trainer giving him another potion again? He doubted such a thing would be very likley. "Come on, GET UP and pound it again!" Hauling himself to his feet, Bane did so with an annoyed huff. What did she think he was going to do... take a nap? Though, a nap sounded like heaven at this point. He hoped that after this battle was over he would get a bit of rest. This fight was simply exhausting. Still, he trudged onward to carry out his next pounding without vocal complaint.
Status: 40% Health Bane is awesome! Numel was caught! Thread has been Exited!
With the Numel down for the count, Sera causally made her way to the fallen Pokemon with a self satisfied smirk on her face and Pokeball a held in her hand. Dropping it on the unconscious Pokemon, her eyes gleamed in triumph as she watched the light indicator on the ball blink and then fade into nothing. The Numel had been caught and was now hers. Turning towards Bane, she analyzed the Penguin who stood huffing, battered, bruised and exhausted beside her. He wasn't all that bad, when she thought about it. Even though he was still a water type. He was growing on her though, a little bit.
"You did good Bane. But don't let it go to your head." Bane lifted it's eyes at her so called praise and preened in joy, letting out bubbles that floated sprayed around him as he twirled around and around. "You.... you had a water attack... ALL ALONG!?!?" Sera's face was red with rage. "You little shit. Do you have any idea how easy this could have been?" Poor Bane shook his head vigorously. He had just learned this technique! But how on earth could he tell her that, she couldn't understand a word he was saying. With a yell and the Pokeball containing Numel tucked away, Seraphine chased her Piplup through the area and onward. She would cool down and forgive him... well... eventually. Probably.
