Sam Holiday made his way out of Littleroot Town, a pokeball clutched extremely tight in his left hand. He felt he had just gotten super lucky with his starter pokemon, he received a Deino of all things! Sam was afraid to loosen his grip on the ball, in case it rolled away and was lost forever. The concept of losing something forever was still somewhat fresh on his mind, hell it might never slip from his mind. Its been three years since Sam's best friend, someone who was with him for his entire life, ended up..passing on for lack of a better word, it still felt like it was only just yesterday that it happened. He spent months locked in his room in a state, only leaving to eat, hell he even tried to..join Ai a few times, never could go through with it though.
The boy shook his head as he walked down the Route, trying to clear his mind of any thoughts, he had to move on at least a bit. Just enough to figure out what that damn tarot card meant, he had to figure out why it was sent to him, he assumed it was some how from Ai. And could lead to reuniting with her, he had a couple different theories for what could of happened, like she got kidnapped all those years ago and wasn't really dead.
With a small groan Sam tightened the grip on his pokeball again, this time not to keep it safe but to make him feel...stronger. He received a powerful starter pokemon, it should be able to protect him, he should be able to protect it too. After all what kind of 'powerful emperor' can't protect something. Wanting to test out exactly what the Deino could do Sam started to look around the route as he walked, looking for a pokemon to battle.
He huffed out in aggravation, his body sore from the seemingly endless search. Despite the forest's plethora of foliage and shrubbery, most of the avalable branches were picked clean. He had happened upon the occasional berry, but, he remained wholly unsatisfied. As the day lagged on, Electrike was struck with a desperation that gnawed away at him. Inhaling deeply, he pressed his muzzle to the dusty soil. He detected potential prey, but the scent was faint at best. As he examined the trail, he failed to notice the trainer that was approaching.
The boy came to a stop on the route as he saw the Electrike sniffing around on the ground in the middle of the route.He tilted his head, watching the pokemon for a few moments Sam would slip his hands into his pockets while trying to think of what the pokemon could be doing. Eventually he'd come to one decision however, that the pokemon was just looking for something to eat. He really couldn't think of any other reason that the Electrike would be sniffing unless he...or she were looking for something. And even then Sam guessed it was food since if the pokemon were looking for another pokemon he assumed it would just call out to find it.
After finally coming to that conclusion Sam started to walk towards the Electrike while reaching back into his bag for something. Feeling a bit nice today Sam would pull a granola bar out from his bag, opening the bar up while he made his way over to the Electrike. Once he was near it Sam bent down in front of the little electric pokemon, holding the bar out towards it. "Here it tastes...okay? Like it's not the best thing you could probably eat but it's also not the worse. Theres probably a lot worse things out there to eat like..errr never mind here take it." Sam rambled out while wiggling the Granola bar around, trying to get the Electrike to eat it.
Electrike blinked, raising his head to peer curiously at the human. He appeared to be offering some form of sustenance. Sniffing curiously in the boy's direction, he trotted forward, his belly conquering all form of reason as it detected some form of sustenance.
"Elleee..." He grumbled.
Sniffing at the bar he opened his maw and accepted a bite. After a few experimental chews, he appeared to be satisfied enough by the flavor to continue feasting upon the offered meal before eventually finishing it off. He sniffed the human's hand afterward, wet nostrils taking in his scent.
The boy came to a stop on the route as he saw the Electrike sniffing around "Heh, good boy?" Sam said a bit cautiously as the Electrike started to sniff his hand. Even though he just finished giving the Electrike one of his Granola Bars Sam was still a bit nervous, it was only a bit natural to be worried about a wild pokemon investigating you. For the moment Sam would just sit there, letting the Electrike sniff his hand for a bit longer. Not wanting to move too suddenly and startle it.
Once it was done sniffing Sam would slowly pull his hand inside of his sleeve, before reaching forward to gently pet the Electrike. Using his sleeve to block his hand so there wasn't any physical contact. Didn't want to take a chance with petting a wild electric type after all with their static and what not. After a couple good pets Sam would scratch the Electrike behind the ear, still through his sleeve, before blurting out "Hey, you wanna come with me little guy?"
Electrike cocked his head to the side, eyeing the boy as he spoke. He understood enough to realize the human male desired him as a companion. The electric-type pulled away with a playful yip, retreating a few steps. Due to the foods plentiful nutrients, he was quite rejuvenated! Plus, a Pokemon such as himself deserved a worthy trainer to call their own! To earn the right the boy must prove himself in battle, naturally.
"Elec!"
He shook, electricity visibly coursing throughout the entirety of his lean build.
"Trike!"
Another yip escaped him as he encouraged the boy to accept his challenge.
Sam let out a small groan as the Electrike obviously was issuing a challenge to him instead of just coming along. For some reason Sam had a strange case of Deja vu, he wasn't exactly sure why but none the less the boy shook his head anyway, trying to clear away the feeling. After that he'd stand back up, letting his Deino out of the pokeball he was gripping onto so tightly, the Deino appearing next to him.
"You sure you want to battle Electrike? I mean Dragons are pretty strong after all, even at this level, and Maleficent here does know Dragon Rage already. I just don't want to hurt you too bad little dude." Sam said with a quick nod, slipping his hands into his pockets. All that the Deino was able to make out from what her trainer said however was something something something my name something Dragon Rage. Thinking it was her command Maleficent would open her mouth up, shooting a Dragon Rage attack at the Electirike.
The Electrike pressed his figure against the ground, prepping himself for the battle by preforming this single action. Once the dragon-type entered the field, his eyes grew sharp as he noted that he had never witnessed a fellow Pokemon of this particular affiliation. Surprise creased his features once the Dragon Rage was launched, his body suffering from the heavy blow as he was struck. His now bruised body trembled, but he managed to stand in quick order.
"Elec!"
Charging forward, the Pokemon's eyes glowed a vivid shade of crimson as he cast a simple Leer before proceeding to finish up his turn with a Tackle.
electrike was hit by dragon rage! electrike used leer! electrike used tackle!
The boy reached back and scratched the back of his neck once his Deino launched her attack, a bit worried for the Electrike's health. Sure Dragon Rage wasn't that powerful when used on stronger pokemon, but on lower leveled ones ooo watch out! Sam was sure that the one Dragon Rage would of taken the Electrike out! Which left him even more surprised when the Electrike not only didn't go down but came back with two attacks of his own.
Sam crossed his arms after the Electrike's attacks landed, the Deino getting back up to her feet after the tackle despite being weakened. "Didn't think you'd go down from that Maleficent you are a dragon after all. Alright tackle it!" Sam called out with a sharp nod of his head. Deino, having hear the word Dragon and Tackle would fire off one more Dragon Rage attack at thee Electrke before charging forward for a tackle.
Barely, just barely, did he execute a dodge that resulted in the Dragon Rage hitting naught more than air. Unfortunately, that body composed of fur and scales struck him shortly afterward. A high pitched yelp escaped him, and he struggled to stand, favoring three paws now instead of four. Unable to maneuver properly now, the Electrike gritted his teeth - wielding his potential as an electric-type by generating a wave of energy that was launched toward the young dragon-type.
the wild electrike dodged dragon rage! the wild electrike was hit by tackle! the wild electrike used thunder wave!
Sam couldn't help but begin to smirk just a tiny bit as the Deino's second tackle attack had hit. He honestly forgot all about Deino's ability until he got to see it in action, Hustle made the Deino's physical attacks stronger. Now thinking about Deino's moveset for the future with that knowledge in the back of his mind Sam crossed his arms and watched the fight. Deciding to just let Maleficent take the rest of it.
It didn't take a genius to realize that the Electrike was on his last legs, another hit should finish him off. As the Thunderwave attack came at her Deino would jump off to her left, narrowly avoiding that attack. Almost immediately after her feet touched the ground Deino would start running again, charging straight at the Electrike for another tackle attack, trying to end the battle.
As his Deino ran forward Sam would move one of his hands down into his pocket, fishing around for an empty pokeball. The boy still planned on capturing the Electrike as soon as the battle came to an end. Hell he was already thinking of names for the Electrike, the only name really sticking out to him at the moment being Thor. "Don't worry you got this Maleficent!" Sam would call out to the little dark dragon pokemon, trying to give it some more encouragement.
A single cry escaped the young Pokemon, his body flung backwards after the Tackle made contact. He struggled to stand for a short while before he eventually collapsed, eyes growing dazed as he exhaled a small cry.
the wild electrike was hit by tackle! the wild electrike fainted! capture? maleficent gained a level! continue?
As soon as the Electrike went down Sam let out a small 'Woo', before tossing the pokeball he pulled out of his pocket at the little lightning dog...lion wolf thing. Since the Electrike was unable to fight back now he would successfully capture the pokemon! "Good job Maleficent, like really good job only took you what three moves?" Sam said to the Deino as he went over to retrieve the Electrike's pokeball. "Yep Thor it is." He added as he slipped the Electrike's ball in his pocket, and then returned Deino to her own pokeball. With both pokeballs in his possession Sam would begin to look around the route again, trying to find another pokemon to battle with.
The Pokemon bobbed and weaved, traveling throughout the large patch of wilderness. It was comfortable with its day to day pattern, taking up the simple task of aimless wandering. The world was a large place, wholly chaotic and unpredictable. Something new always wandered about - and the Bronzor was intent on locating it. The day had been dull during the earlier hours, but now an abundance of sights and sounds invaded its senses.
"Broonnzzzz."
The human it encountered appeared to be young. It approached, confident in its skills to maintain its own safety as it curiously eyed the boy. Humans were strange. But very easy to understand.
a wild bronzor appeared! the wild bronzor is examining sam!
Sam let out a small sigh as he was looking around, nothing exciting at all had happened. He was about to give up and head on through the route until he finally noticed the strange metal..shield thing pokemon examining him. "...What" Was all Sam managed to blurt out, he'd never seen a pokemon like that until now, and he wasn't too impressed to be honest.
While it examined him Sam would stand around for a few moments, debating on whether or not to just keep walking or to at least get some experience from the thing. "Ummmm, hi weird shield dude." Sam muttered out as he pulled one more empty pokeball out of his pocket and quickly threw it at the Bronzor, seeing how lucky he can get
