[attr="class","axscroll"]For the first time in a while, there was no doubt in Axel's mind. The moment he stepped out onto the route, his grin broke into a smile and he started to jog down the path. He was finally free. He was free of baby sitting, cleaning up after his brothers, and most importantly Axel could do whatever he wanted. At this point, Axel wasn't sure what to do with his new found freedom. Well, first of all, he had to make it to the next town. He slowed himself down in his jog and took a deep breath, taking in the fresh air. "I've finally made it." Axel said with a prideful grin.
He walked for a few minutes, admiring the new scenery and weather. This part of Hoenn wasn't too different from his home city, but the view was a drastic change. There was no buildings in sight on the route, no skyscrapers. There was actually wildlife and grass all around. As far as Axel was concerned, this was the best decision he's ever made. Although, he wasn't too happy about his starter Pokemon. He pulled out the Chespin's Pokeball and stared at it as he walked, tossing it up and down in thought. Axel was sort of happy it was a rare, but Chespin wasn't his favorite. It was kinda... weird? He wasn't too sure what it evolved into, but Axel didn't really like Chespin as it was either. But until he started getting more Pokemon and actually trained them up, Axel supposed he was stuck with this Pokemon for a while.
It wasn't like he hated the Pokemon, not at all. It just... wasn't something he would have wanted if he had a choice. But a rare was a rare, so he couldn't really complain. He shrugged and placed the Chespin's Pokeball away back on his belt and headed forward to the next town.
phantump floats lazily out of the tree. why is she awake? she doesn't know. she just can't sleep. maybe some exploration would make things better. she hers a couple steps from afar -- oh, maybe a good scare will do! when the person gets close she jumps out of the bush, making scary faces!
[attr="class","axscroll"]Axel's peace didn't last long. One second there was peace and quiet, the next, a tree jumped out in front of him from a bush. Instinct took over and Axel jumped a good foot away, biting his tongue in the process and tripping over his own two feet. The Trainer landed on his ass, hitting the ground with a thud and bringing his arms up to guard himself. But when nothing happened, Axel peeked through his arms, only to stare at the tree that just jump scared him. "A tree? Are you kidding me, a tree scared me?" Axel said in disbelief, standing up and brushing the dirt off his clothes. He scoffed and picked off Holly's Pokeball. "Alright, you'll pay for that little trick."
In a flash of light, the Chespin was released from her Pokeball. The grass type chattered and pounded on her chest, ready for battle. "Alright, first battle. Let's take it easy here. Use Growl, then Vine Whip!" Axel said. His heart was pumping and a smile grew on his face. Although it was a wild Pokemon, it was still a battle. Here's hoping he didn't fuck it up somehow and lose to a walking tree.
Holly obeyed and took a breath, growling at the top of her voice to reduce the tree's attack. After that, the Chespin rushed forward. Her arms were stretched out, and once she thought she got close enough, Holly released a Vine Whip onto the Phanthump, slashing downward and hopefully onto the Pokemon's head.
Chespin was sent out! Chespin used Growl and Vine Whip!
phantump giggles in satisfaction. haha, the human got scared! he sends out a pokemon. she flinches back when it growls at her. she panics as it whips her in the head. it's wooden so it doesn't hurt as much, but it still makes her angry! she charges at the chespin with another tackle.
[attr="class","axscroll"]Holly squealed in surprise when the Phanthump decided to fire back. The Vine Whip had made contact, but the Pokemon simply shook it off and dashed forward. "Hey, Holly! Get it together! Don't panic!" Axel called out, trying to keep Holly from freaking out. The Chespin tried to move, but she was too slow.
Wham!
The Tackle had made a direct hit and sent Holly a few inches back. The attack didn't hurt too much though, the Growl helped soften the blow. "Hey, take advantage of that close range! Vine Whip it twice!" Axel commanded from the side. There wasn't much else he could do at this point other than give Holly some commands. The Pokemon wasn't taking too much damage it seemed, so it must have resisted grass type moves.
Holly shook her head and charged forward as well, arms out stretched and flailing as the vines appeared from her arms again and tried slapping the hell out of the Phanthump.
Healthy (90%) Chespin was hit by Tackle! Chespin used Vine Whip twice!
phantump giggles in glee aas she sees the chespin take damage. however it got revenge quickly. two more vine whips smacks it in the face. its head shakes in disorientation, and it attempts another tackle before suddenly swerving into a tree. guess it isn't as effective. phantump floats down, unconcious from the impact.
[attr="class","axscroll"]Holly was preparing herself to battle some more. Her paws came up and she punched at the air, jumping on her heels. However, instead, the Phanthump recoiled from the Vine Whips. It seemed confused and dizzy, dashing forward in another Tackle... only to hit a tree instead. The Phanthump fell to the ground unconscious and Holly stared at the Pokemon, relaxing her muscles and nodding proudly to herself.
Axel grinned and rushed over to Holly and the fainted Phanthump. He glanced down at the Pokemon and to Holly. Debating whether or not to actually capture the Pokemon, Axel decided that taking the first Pokemon he defeated was probably a good idea. Pulling out an empty Pokeball, he gently dropped it onto the fainted Phanthump.
The Pokeball stopped moving and snapped shut, keeping the Phantump inside. Axel smiled widely and picked the Pokeball up, staring at it with a large grin on his face. "First Pokemon caught, hell yes." Instead of snapping the Pokeball to his belt, he decided to give the fainted Phantump a better place to rest. Unzipping his bag, Axel placed the Pokeball right next to the egg he had received from the lab as well. At this point, Axel had almost forgotten about that egg. It was a mystery to him what Pokemon was inside, and he was told it was going to hatch soon. It was just a matter of waiting.
As Axel stood up, out of nowhere a electrical bolt was shot out of nowhere and hit Holly directly. The Trainer swerved on his feet and looked down at Holly. The Chespin was taken off guard as well, her body now paralyzed and slowed. "Holly!" Axel exclaimed. He turned around, looking towards the source of the Thunderwave, finally spotting the electric type a few feet away. "You're gonna pay for that. Holly, can you move?!" Axel asked. The Chespin struggled to move, but was able to move forward and stare at the Mareep with an annoyed expression. "Alright! Good girl. Get in there with some Vine Whips!" Axel called out.
Holly moved as quick as she could, which wasn't very fast, and tried slapping the Mareep with a Vine Whip. But as she tried lifting her other arm, the paraylsis took effect and locked her arm in place. Growling in annoyance, Holly bit her lip and hoped that the one Vine Whip would hit at least.
Chespin used Vine Whip! Chespin was paralyzed and unable to use a second Vine Whip
mareep♂ - level 006 - plus moveset: tackle, growl, thunderwave
the vine whips mareep in the face and body. so the chespin has spunk to it! mareep finds itself enjoying the prospect of fighting such a strong opponent. he's glad that it's paralyzed. mareep launches forward to tackle the chespin!
[attr="class","axscroll"]The one Vine Whip had made contact, but Holly was still slow and unable to move very well. The paralysis was taking its toll on Holly, even though she saw the Mareep coming from a mile away, her body refused to move properly. The Chespin was tackled to the ground and she hit it with a oofph. Axel cringed slightly when he saw Holly take the hard hit. That must have hurt. "It's okay, Holly. Get up and Vine Whip it some!" Axel called out.
Holly nodded and rose to her feet, pushing through the paralysis and moving forward as quickly as she could. Her arms were stretched out and the vines appeared once more, attempting to slap the Mareep.
Chespin was hit by tackle! Moderately healthy Used Vine Whip twice
mareep♂ - level 006 - plus moveset: tackle, growl, thunderwave
the vines whip mareep again, leaving welts on her body. he closes her eyes. it's hard to bear the pain from such a painful attack. m-maybe it was time to go. he turns tail, choosing to flee rather then fight.
[attr="class","axscroll"]Yes! The Vine Whips had hit, and it looked like the Mareep was scared. Maybe a little too scared. The Pokemon decided to turn around and start running. Axel stopped and stared after it before hastily returning Holly to her Pokeball and running after it. He kept his hands on his bag, keeping it steady as he ran to make sure he didn't disturb the egg sitting inside. "Hey! Get back here!" Axel yelled out, keeping pace with the weakened Mareep. There was no way Holly would be able to keep up with the Pokemon, so bringing her out now and trying to attack it wouldn't work. However...
Axel had an idea. One that could be either good or bad, but he decided to roll with it. He tossed Holly's Pokemon long and hoped that she landed in front of the Mareep before it could completely flee. In a flash of light, Holly hit the ground in a daze, the electricity still coursing through her body. "Vine Whip, Holly!" Axel yelled. The Chespin obeyed and raised her hands, using Vine Whip and hoping she'd hit the Mareep.
Axel and Chespin chased! Chespin used Vine Whip twice!
mareep♂ - level 006 - plus moveset: tackle, growl, thunderwave
haha, the mareep cries in joy. the trainer can't catch up! he laughs and keeps running, turning back to stick his tongue out. but when he turns around, he's suddenly met with the chespin again! it whips him directly in the face and sides. pain laces up his side, and chespin's face is the last thing he sees before he blacks out.
mareep fainted! capture? another pokemon? Axel Hayashi
[attr="class","axscroll"]Once the Mareep fell, Holly paused and sighed heavily. The paralysis was still effecting her, but at least she could rest for a moment. Axel grinned widely and walked up to the Chespin and Mareep, bending down and petting Holly on the head. "You know, you're not that bad of a Pokemon." He said. The dramatic Chespin huffed but there was a hint of a smile on her face. Slowly but surely, the two were forming a bond. Even if they were completely opposite personalities.
Axel stood up and returned Holly to her Pokeball and looked up on ahead. A couple of miles away was Oldale Town. In reality, it was probably like a 20 to 30 minute walk, which wasn't bad. He shifted his bag with the egg inside and pulled out an empty Pokeball, tossing it at the fainted Mareep.
