welcome to calamity! we are an au pokemon site based in hoenn. we do not have canons so you can pick them as your fcs! we have a short one hundred word word count. and you get to also pick your own starter! calamity is going to focus on providing users with a good and stable plot line to follow. this helps each character progress and some might even have a play in affecting the plot! we hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.

"Alrigh'," Nick says, "you ready fer some training, Puff?"
Her swablu on her shoulder (normally, for once) coos and flaps its wings in reply. The trainer scratches a spot underneath Puffball's beak, making the bird chirrup happily. Then the swablu hops along Nick's arm as she holds it out, and takes off into the air. It's always a miracle how the bird keeps itself afloat like that when it's literally a small cloud.
"Now, let's take this nice and slow, girl." Nick calls out, "Try practicing that Astonish."
Puffball puffs up, taking in as much air as its little body can handle, then holds it for a second.
A screech reverberates throughout the forest.

the screech wakes ekans. she bolts up in surprise. who was disturbing her beauty sleep? she slithers to the origin. a bird, really? obnoxious. she hisses in annoyance, leering at the bird before springing forward. she attempts to wrap her body around it.
Honestly, Nick should've expected for pokémon to pop outta the ground with how loud Puff's astonish is. But she honest-to-Arceus did not expect for an ekans to slither up from nowhere and scare the shit outta both Nick and her swablu. By the time she regains her wits, Puff is struggling against the snake's hold.
Aw heeeeeeeeeeell naw, not snakes, not today.
"Puffball, peck your way outta there!" Nick calls out as she scrambles for some stick or something to keep that ekans from choking Puffball to death. She didn't learn how to deal with sevipers for nothing.
Meanwhile, the swablu follows Nick's command and aims two pecks at the snake's underbelly.
nick's and puffball's defense fell! puffball used peck! puffball used peck again!
ekans hisses as the pecks land, immediatly letting go of the swablu. she slithers a little distance away and messages her poor under belly. she sways from side to side, uncertain of what to do next before lunging forward, fangs open to poison sting the swablu and engulf the bird.
In the moments the ekans slithers away, Nick finally finds a stick to whack it with. She turns around to see the snake gearing up for a nasty bite.
"Puffball, dodg'it!" she hollers. Her bird's quick, but she's seen sevipers take down taillows within seconds. Nick hopes to Arceus that Puffball's quicker and this ekans is slower.
Free from the ekans's hold, the swablu has enough space to dodge the incoming snake's open maw. If the snake gets close enough, Nick would swing down the stick on the poor ekans's head. Not hard enough to hurt it, but enough to distract it from going after Puffball again.
puffball dodged the poison sting! nick used... stick???
ekans jaw's close, only meeting the air. she then feels a big smack on the top of her head. her jaw meets the ground, and ekans is momentarily disorientated from the hit. perhaps she was no match for this human. she slithers a little distance away, trying to shake out the hit.
Altarias are part dragon type, which means that they'll have trouble with those newfangled fairy types they discovered not too long ago. What did that Birch fella say about those? Something about poison types countering fairy types. Wait. The trainer looks down at the disoriented ekans, and the gears start to turn in her head.
Welp, looks like Nick just found a new teammate.
She stares at Puffball with meaningful eyes, and Puffball stares back with dawning horror.
"Now Puff," Nick says, "you've gotta trust me on this."
Already the swablu is internally questioning why she ever decided to trust this human in the first place. Friendship? Symbiosis? The fact that this human gave her food and shelter for nothing in return? Or the fact that the human allows- even encourages- her to beat up other pokémon? (And maybe because the human might have helped prevent the snake from swallowing Puffball whole.) The swablu sighs. The things she does for her human. Puffball nods.
"Good girl." Nick says with a grin. "Now git 'em with that thing you did earlier, but smaller."
Puffball inhales a big gulp of air (not as big as earlier), then shrieks at the snake.
the shrieks make ekans reel back in pain. it still hasn't recovered from the headache. the combination of both makes the pain too much to bear. ekans falls to the ground, unconscious.
ekans fainted! capture? swablu gains 2 levels! another pokemon? nick evesta
They did it. They actually did it. She can feel her face stretch into a big grin.
"We did it!" Nick cheers. "Puff, you did such a good job! C'mere you!"
The trainer crushes the poor swablu into a hug. Puffball chirps in protest and pecks Nick's arm. She lets go with a hiss and a small sheepish smile. Nick settles for just patting her pokémon on the head.
Then she tosses a Poké Ball at the unconscious ekans.
Puffball squawks indignantly. Didn't that ekans just try to kill her not even two seconds ago?! Nick waves the swablu off.
"Relax, I'll make sure this one won't kill us in the middle of the night." She assures. "All we gotta do is pray and hope the snake ain't angry when I let 'er out next time."
