PARTY
[ SETH ] There were so many Pokemon to catch--so many! Seth was so excited to even see more Pokemon. He hadn't even put his little Shinx in its pokeball yet. The poor thing had just been getting carried around since she had met her new trainer.
Seth was looking around excitedly for any and all Pokemon, ready to probably literally throw his Shinx at them. He was muttering under his breath as he waited impatiently, "Where are you, Pokemon?" The Shinx gave an unsure meow and looked up at him in some sort of answer.

PARTY
[ SETH ] The boy almost squealed excitedly upon seeing his first wild Pokemon. Seth, trying to contain his excitement, nudged his Shinx forward. What kind of Pokemon was this? He stared at it for a few seconds, completely stupefied. Eventually he remembered he had a pokedex and whipped it out. It chirped out a brief description after the name. "Inkay, huh?" It didn't seem very threatening, even for a brand new Shinx.
Seth wanted all of the Pokemon--all of them. But he knew he should probably pick and choose what he caught initially. Catching literally every Pokemon he encountered would only hinder him at this point. That didn't mean he wasn't going to battle them, though; Shinx needed to get experience somehow. "There's more than one way to learn about Pokemon--Shinx, leer then tackle!" Seth at least knew his own Pokemon's moves, and using them in combination was no difficult matter. The little electric Pokemon threw a malicious look before charging at the floating Inkay with a fierce 'mrow!'--or, as fierce as something so small could manage.
[ SUMMARY ] - Seth has entered a battle with a wild Inkay! - Shinx used Leer! - Shinx used Tackle!
how rude! inkay freezes as the shin glares at her, and she's too slow to dodge the tackle. it hits her solidly and she reels back from the force. fine...if the shinx doesn't want to cooperate, she'll just give them a giant hug! inkey floats over and goes to wrap her tentacles around the pokemon and contricts them.

[ SETH ] There were surprised sounds from both Seth and his Shinx when the Inkay constricted her. "Shinx, are you okay?" It didn't seem to hurt too much, but the Shinx was kind of stuck there now. Seth shifted his weight a couple of times, feeling uncomfortable hurting Pokemon again. Yet he still needed to have Shinx attack and get this over with; no growth was going to take place if he was a wuss.
"Shinx, use Ice Fang, and try to get out of there!" The little electric Pokemon bit down on a tentacle with ice-cold teeth. Seth squirmed almost as much as Shinx did trying to get released from the Inkay's hold. He really needed to get rid of some of this tension. "Ice Fang again!" Whether or not the Shinx had gotten free, it would go in for the same attack.
[ SUMMARY ] - Shinx was constricted! - Shinx is Okay - Shinx used Ice Fang! - Shinx used Ice Fang again!
inkay feels the cold crawling up it's body. it hastily lets go of the shinx. it doesn't even like his hug? well, fine! she'll just finish it by using a tackle at it.

[ SETH ] The Shinx was getting a little beat up, but she still looked like she could keep going--and they would. After enduring the Tackle, it looked like the Inkay would fall soon. Since Seth was bent on capturing every Pokemon in the region, he would definitely be going for his first wild encounter. He knew capturing every single Pokemon was an outrageous goal, but he would settle for at least seeing them all and getting them in his pokedex. Either way, he could use more Pokemon in his party, and this Inkay didn't seem like a terrible idea.
Wanting it was all good and well, but Seth needed to act and not analyze excessively. "Shinx! Leer and Tackle combo again!" The Shinx gave the Inkay the same look it had earlier, wagging her tail in the air excitedly before immediately charging in for a Tackle.
[ SUMMARY ] - Shinx was hit by Tackle! - Shinx is Okay - Shinx used Leer! - Shinx used Tackle!

[ SETH ] There was a mix of feelings when the Inkay hit the ground. Prevailing over the guilt was a sense of accomplishment. Seth wasn't fond of hurting Pokemon, but his Shinx needed trained. He would just have to catch the Inkay and hope it forgave him. Eyes going wide with excitement, Seth did a little dance. His Shinx turned toward him, showing her own pride. Seth calmed himself enough to throw a pokeball at the fallen Pokemon. Since it was fainted, he knew it would be an easy catch, but he tensed up with anxiety nonetheless.
After retrieving his new Pokemon, Seth would look around for more Pokemon to catch. "Do you see any more, Shinx?" The electric Pokemon hopped around, glancing in every direction for a new Pokemon.
[ SUMMARY ] - Shinx leveled up! Shinx is now level 9 - Seth threw a pokeball! - Trainer Seth would like to battle!
azurill♀ - level 006 - sap sipper moveset: splash, water gun, tail whip water sport
azurill bounces from place to place. when she spots them she freezes. awwwww hell naw, she ain't gonna give this boy and his little pussy cat any trouble. azurill turns around right away and starts to bounce in the other direction.
[ SETH ] There had to be some Pokemon around here somewhere... There! Seth caught a little blue thing in his sights, though it started to run off pretty quick. Why didn't it want to come battle with him? Seth stood there for a moment, looking confused at the fleeing Pokemon. He quickly got his bearings and went after it, though.
"Shinx! Go get it!" Seth sent his Pokemon after the wild one, and she obediently chased it. The Shinx would tackle it to the ground as soon as she caught up, Seth running up right after her, pumped for another battle. He scanned the new Pokemon with his pokedex before really getting into it. What was the point of meeting all these Pokemon if he didn't record things about them, right?
[ SUMMARY ] - Seth's Shinx chased the wild Azurill! - Shinx used Tackle!
- 129 - seth wants all of the pokemon, all of them
azurill♀ - level 006 - sap sipper moveset: splash, water gun, tail whip water sport
azurill falls as the shinx tackles her from behind. damn, that hurt. why you gotta do that fam? now she has to fight. she'll protect herself no problem. she tail whips the shinx before sending a water gun towards it.
azurill uses tail whip! azurill uses water gun! Seth Kavanaugh
[ SETH ] Battling could give quite a thrill. The sensation was hard to distinguish from his anxiety, but Seth was having fun. Even with such young Pokemon, it was intense. His Shinx was enjoying herself as well. It was an energetic little thing, and that seemed like a good match for Seth's own personality. Hopefully any other Pokemon that joined him would be equally as good for him.
This battle was bound to be just as exciting as the last. His Shinx was mesmerized by the swishing tail--looking desperately tempted to swat at it instead of battle the Azurill--long enough to be hit by the following attack. "Get it together, Shinx! Tackle, then Ice Fang!" Seth really needed to pay more attention to his Pokemon and keep them on a tighter leash; he just got distracted too easily. It's not that they were disobedient, simply untrained. If Seth didn't watch his Shinx, she did her own thing. Now, however, she pulled off the moves in quick succession. Seth held back a wince at any pain the Azurill might feel.
[ SUMMARY ] - Shinx's Defense was lowered! - Shinx was hit with Water Gun! - Shinx is Hurt - Shinx used Tackle! - Shinx used Ice Fang!
azurill♀ - level 006 - sap sipper moveset: splash, water gun, tail whip water sport
the attacks are too much. she stiffens as the ice begins to take over her body, freezing her limbs. she falls to the ground, blacking out right as she does.

[ SETH ] Aww, the little baby Pokemon had fainted so fast. Seth gave it a look of pity before throwing a pokeball at it. He would be extra nice to it later to compensate. Hopefully a Pokemon's forgiveness was easily gotten. This was Seth's third Pokemon, and as he understood it, they were all different types. A diverse team would be a lot more useful than one where they were all the same. Not that Seth would be unhappy with a team full of Shinx...
Seth looked at his supply of pokeballs that was slowly being depleted. He would have to buy more sometime if he wanted to catch literally every Pokemon there was. In fact, at the rate he was going, he would need to buy some more at the next opportunity. Nonetheless, he had plenty to keep going today. Looking down at his Shinx, the little Pokemon looked like it could handle another round or two. Seth would probably call it quits for the day after seeing one more Pokemon. After that, they could have a nice nap and go at it again tomorrow.
[ SUMMARY ] - Seth threw a pokeball! - Trainer Seth would like to battle!
