Rikard had become a Ranger some time ago, though only recently had he acquired his pokemon. Instead, what he used to do was a majority of their paperwork, and field work that didn't require the aid of pokemon. However now that he had been given one to start training, granted with him now was a different pokemon he traded his Chespin for, Rikard felt the need to set out on the first route.
Having already gone through about half the route, Rikard stopped as he saw a relatively large pond a little ways ahead. Making sure to go towards it, he hoped there would be some water pokemon waiting inside it's contents. However, before he could get there he scoured through the high grass, feeling as though he was being watched. 'Something is gonna jump out at me soon, I just know it.' Grabbing his pokeball, Rikard summoned the Gothita to his side. "Stay vigilant, 'Tina." The pokemon nodded.
Competitive - Lv.7 - Healthy Gothita is on standby!
Skorupi didn't eat often, he could go long periods without eating and his energy would remain unchanged but... when he did eat... he liked to be left in peace...
He didn't appreciate bird-brained pidgeys swooping in and stealing his meal!
The dual type was so angered, he wanted to take it out on the first pokémon he saw. So, lying in wait in the tall grass, he waited until a young gothita appeared and lunged for her without much warning, his poison-coated tail at the ready!
"Skor!!"
A wild skorupi has appeared! Skorupi is aggressive! Skorupi used poison sting!

"'Tina, dodge!" As the wild scorpion shot poison needles, the Gothita scurried away and towards Rikard's side before it could be brought any harm on behalf of the pokemon—a Skorupi, Rikard flashing his pokedex to see what exactly he was up against.
"Use confusion, 'Tina, it's strong against this guy." Being reassured, the Gothita moved a step forward and began targeting the wild pokemon with it's own attack. Before long, another would follow. "Keep it coming, 'Tina. He'll go down soon."
Competitive - Lv.7 - Healthy Gothita dodged! (1/2 Dodges used) Gothita used Confusion! Gothita used Confusion!
The gothita's confusion crippled him for a moment, making him momentarily forget how brazenly they'd managed to dodge his surprise attack. The poison type curled his tail into a tight coil and made a series of pained clicking noises with his pincers.
Enraged now, he scuttled out of the way of the second wave of psychic energy. These guys were stooping low enough to exploit his weaknesses? Well, he could play at that game as well!
"Skor! Skor!"
When he saw his chance, the skorupi leapt towards the petite psychic type with his jaw wide open. He'd aim to bite her and, a second later, swing around with his tail in attempt to deal her a crippling blow of his own.
Skorupi was hit by confusion! It's super effective! Skorupi dodged confusion! Skorupi used bite! Skorupi used knock off!

Watching the Skorupi click it's tail away visciously, Rikard grabbed his healing equipment from within the backpack slung over his shoulder. "Hang in there, Valentina." Finally getting out what he needed, Rikard watched the pokemon latch on with it's teeth to the Gothita, only to slap it back rolling at him.
"Don't worry, I got you." Expensing the contents of the potion immediately, his pokemon would soon feel an overwhelming amount of relief. While he couldn't have known what it was like to experience the effects of a potion, Valentina's morale sure did seem to spike as he finished using the spray—standing up to face the Skorupi immediately after. "Now use another confusion on that Skorupi."
Competitive - Lv.7 - Healthy Gothita is hit by Bite and Knock Off! (5% Health) Rikard uses x1 Potion on Gothita! (100% Health) Gothita used Confusion!
The skorupi's anger was subsiding considerably with these attacks. Each one packed a powerful punch and... maybe... just maybe... he'd picked a battle he couldn't fight. The poison type lay there for a moment, panting and clicking, as he tried to quickly recover after the gothita's last attack.
Determined to not give up though, he lunged out with his tail for the psychic type and tried jabbing her repeatedly with the venomous end.

'This guy just doesn't give up, does he?' Which was a good quality to have in a pokemon, though it made capturing the Skorupi more difficult than he had intended. It was proving to be quite the formidable pokemon. 'I hope I don't see another one...'
"Dodge that poison sting!" He vocalized during the heat of battle, though his Gothita ended up getting struck by the one fired just after. 'Crap.' Though, according to his pokemon, the poison did not take effect as Valentina stayed upright without any signs of affliction. 'Alright, good...this needs to end soon.' What did the Skorupi have left?
Competitive - Lv.7 - Mildly Injured Gothita dodges first Poison Sting! (2/2 Dodges) Gothita is hit by Poison Sting! (No poison status) Gothita uses Confusion! Gothita uses Confusion!
How much did the skorupi have left? Honestly not much. He was on his last burst of energy with those last attacks. Defiant yet too weak to avoid the gothita's oncoming attacks, the stubborn dual type begrudgingly gave into the darkness that overwhelmed his vision. His opponent was superior to him and there was, now, nothing more he could do than hope that fate would treat him kindly.
Skorupi was hit by confusion! It's super effective! Skorupi fainted! Capture? Valentina gains two levels!

"Good job, Valentina." The Gothita turned back and yelled with glee towards its master. "Gothita!" Using one of his empty pokeballs, Rikard captured the Skorupi and then pocketed the ball so that he could resume his little quest.
"You think you could handle a bit more, 'Tina?" The pokemon portrayed its cheerfulness further by jumping around excitedly and nodding, following Rikard as he pushed further into the tall grass, laying eyes on the large pond beyond. Approaching even closer, he could not help but wonder the bountiful pokemon wandering inside.
Competitive - Lv.9 - Lightly Injured Gothita is on standby!
It was much too warm outside the pond for him. He only needed to spend a few minutes out of the cool water for his thin and delicate skin to feel as though the slimy film covering it was beginning to dry and he was starting to burn up.
From where he wallowed in the mud by the pond's edge, he spotted a trainer and his pokémon approaching... they looked far too warm as well! Perhaps they could use some glorious mud as well!
"Woooooooo!" He chimed happily, throwing a torrent of mud in their direction.

Before they could move very far, it seemed another wild combatant wanted a piece of Rikard's Gothita. Though it didn't exactly come out of nowhere, the Gothita and Rikard were at a loss for a means of avoiding the surprise of mud being flung. "Gothita!" Valentina cried out in mild pain. 'Darn.'
"Valentina, uses Confusion!" This Wooper, as his pokedex told him it was, didn't seem to be worth capturing like the last pokemon. 'I'll have to keep looking after this battle.' Though, that was if he and his pokemon could make it past this battle. "Follow through with another Confusion, 'Tina." He hoped it would do a significant amount of damage.
Competitive - Lv.8 - Moderately Injured Gothita is hit by Mud Shot! Gothita uses Confusion! Gothita uses Confusion!
The trainer and pokémon didn't seem like they appreciated his attempt at cooling them off and they even attacked him! The wooper took both confusions but appeared visibly disorientated after. He toddled around, as if his head were too heavy for his body, and waved his arms out at his sides.
"Woo...oop?"
The water type slipped up in the mud when he attempted to move, wincing as he hurt himself. And then, still lay in the mud, he fired a jet of water from his mouth at the pair.
Wooper was hit by confusion! Wooper was hit by confusion! Wooper is confused! Wooper hurt himself in his confusion! Wooper used water gun!
Silas Johansson gothita is lv9 now, freak, bc all groups gain 2 levels on beating a pkmn now

'Darn, he didn't go down yet.' Rikard could see now that Gothita was pretty hurt, noticing her bruising from the number the Skorupi had done on her. 'Though he doesn't look to be doing so good either.' Watching the Wooper slip in the mud and laughing, Rikard and Gothita were caught unprepared by the funnel of water headed wayward towards them.
"You alright, 'Tina?" The Gothita was fairly slow to get up, but when it did he could see how angry the pokemon was. "Alright, good. Hit'em again with your confusion. There's no way he could survive another round." Of course, the same could have been said for Rikard and his pokemon.
Competitive - Lv.9 - Injured Gothita is hit by Mud Shot! Gothita uses Confusion! Gothtia uses Confusion!
LAIKA OF GANGNAM STYLE
machine Sorry, was saved as level 8 in my wordpad. uwu
Confused and battered by psychic energy, the wooper could hardly see straight. Everything felt as though it was spinning underneath his feet and he staggered about aimlessly, at the mercy of the pokémon's disorientating attacks.
"Woo...oo..."
With a muddy splash, the water type stumbled into the mud, face down, unable to withstand more.
Wooper was hit by confusion! Wooper was hit by confusion! Wooper has fainted! Valentina gains two levels. Capture?

"Great job, 'Tina!" It gratified the ranger to know that the battle was over. Though he really wanted another pokemon, Rikard knew it would be best to wait for something else. Though, the Wooper was beginning to interest him irregardless. He decided to capture it in the end, allowing the pokemon asylum within one of his available pokeballs.
"Alright 'Tina, let's go look for one more. After that I think we can head home." His pokemon chimed back with a "Gothita!" in response, the two of them heading deeper into the high grass, witnessing before them the relatively vast depths of the water. "Woah, I wonder what kind of pokemon could be waiting for us down at the bottom." Though he dared not to jump in and find out. Instead, he began to circle the water's edge, Valentina following at his side.
Competitive - Lv.11 - Injured Gothita is on standby!
