Calvin now had his very own pokemon... He was a trainer, an actual pokemon trainer! It was now the afternoon, a perfect time for a walk. He began to head through route 101, the sunset made the grass glow a warm green and the shadows to stretch out like fingers. He sent out his new pokemon Flaws, a very rare Zorua. Flaws weaved in and out his legs and started running beside him, filled with excitement. Calvin laughed, he loved his new pokemon, it fitted him perfectly, they were going to be the best partners.
The two walked beside along the path, rustles in the grass could be heard and the occasional chirp of a flying-type pokemon. Calvin lit a cigarette, biting it between his teeth and taking a few draws before pinching it between his fingers again. He stopped, lifting his head back and exhaling with his eyes closed. He adored the afternoon air, the way the dim sun kissed his skin in the still wind. His moment of peace was quickly disrupted, something was making a dreadful noise in the forest beside him... Rude.
He couldn't see what pokemon it was exactly, but he waved his hand in the air, signalling Flaws to attack, "Flaws, teach that pokemon how to keep its mouth shut. Honestly, some pokemon have no manners."
Flaws was happily trotting beside Calvin when all of a sudden, "EEEEEEERGUGHHGHGUGUGUG!"
Flaws flinched at the dreadful gurgling sound, what on earth was that?! Flaws crossed his eyes, now rather annoyed. he noticed Calvin signal for Flaws to attack, and attack he did. He had no idea what it was in the distance, but he leaped in the air anyway. Using pursuit, he zipped towards the pokemon in a shroud of darkness, aiming to catch it by surprise.
grimer♂ - level 002 - sticky hold moveset: pound, poison gas
grimer drifts across the gras, leaving behing a trail of sludge behind him. he suddenly lruches forward as the zorua hits him from behind. how rude! grimer burps at the pokemon. purple gas comes from his jaws, and he throws a punch just to get the damn pokemon away from him.
grimer uses poison gas! grimer uses pound! Calvin Diablo u got some good luck lmao
~How cute. it seems the little pile of sludge want's to fight.~
Calvin licked his lips as the Grimer went lurching forwards, almost crashing into a tree. Flaws had fully slammed into his back, but almost got stuck in its oozing body. Flaws was quick to react at the Grimer's next attack, a thick dark green gas bellowed out of his mouth, heading straight towards Calvin's starter. The smell of it was awful, like a rotting carcus floating in a sewer, Calvin coughed a bit before covering his mouth with his scarf. After Zorua dodged the poisonous cloud, the Grimer had jumped forwards and walloped Flaws round the head with a strong pound. The nerve!
Furious, Calvin shouted his next orders, "Flaws! Jump up and use leer! Then strike down with a scratch!"
His pokemon did as he asked, he performed it with such elegance and grace that it made him wonder how good he'd be in a contest... ~Ugh, focus Calvin, focus!~
Although it didn't smell that bad at first, the oozing gloopy body was enough to even put a hungry Arcanine of it's dinner! Flaws was a bit too happy with himself when he dodged the poison cloud that he forgot he was fighting, this led to him getting a smack round the head by a purple fist of slime - yuck!
Listening to his owner's orders, he leapt into the air, using leer then zipping down to use scratch.
Flaws dodged poison gas! Flaws was hit by Pound! Flaws used Leer! Flaws used Scratch!
grimer♂ - level 002 - sticky hold moveset: pound, poison gas
the grimer is too weak for such a strong attack. it instantly knocks him out, leaving him in a purpley, gooey mess. he gurgles before losing consciousness.
He watched as the puddle of purple goo bubbled and gurgled as it sunk into a mere heap of... well, goo. Calvin stood there for a while, twiddling a pokeball between his fingers. Taking a big long sigh, he walked over to the 'grimer' and half-heartedly dropped the pokeball on top of him. With a gurgle and a ding, the pokeball was now full.
"Uurrghhhh!" Calvin moaned, "What a waste of a pokeball. This thing better get good."
He shoved the pokeball in his pocket, "Looks like you've got a new friend, Flaws."
His Zorua jumped up and landed in his arms, nuzzling the underneath of his chin. Calvin couldn't help but crack a smile, his adventure was starting. He would learn from his mistakes... Or turn his mistakes into something stronger...
He then began walking through the route again, in hopes to find other pokemon he could defeat (hopefully they'd be a bit more challenging).
pansear bounds out of the bushes, unawar of the battle that'd just happened. he smiles and bounds over to the trainer and his zorua. do they want to be friends? he chirps and wags his tail, hoping that they could at least play a bit. "pansear!"
Not long before he started walking again, another wild pokemon had appeared - a pansear. Calvin was ready to order Zorua to attack, but before he could, it seems the Pansear had started making friends with his starter pokemon. Calvin watched as the Pansear playfully ran around and spoke, it seemed he wanted to be friends... Shame.
Without a hint of regret in his voice, Calvin sent out some battle orders, "Flaws! Hone Claws then scratch! Go!"
His Zorua quickly sharpened his claws, but then hesitated when it came to the Scratch attack. After a few seconds, the Zorua leaped forwards and swiped down at the Fire Monkey.
~Someone want's to play!~ Zorua's face lit up as another pokemon seemed to run over with a smile on its face. The pokemon used a move 'Play Nice' on Zorua, but the trickster fox pokemon was unaware of this and carried on chatting away with it.
~Aw man!~ Thought Zorua as his trainer ordered him to fight, well, I guess I have to...
Flaws used Hone Claws! Flaws used Scratch!

The pansear gave Zorua a terrifying look before going in for a scratch. The little red pokemon leaped forwards, swinging his arm down to scratch Flaws.
"Dodge it Flaws! Quick!" ordered Calvin, perhaps a bit too late.
Luckily, Flaws jumped backwards, the scratch just missing him by a few inches. That was too close for Calvin's liking. "Run and use scratch! Then follow it up with pursuit!"
Flaws ran towards Pansear at very fast speeds, zipping through the grass like the wind, then BAM! He went in for the scratch, then clsoe range pursuit...
The little fox pokemon ran as fast as his little legs could carry him, he then jumped forwards and swiped his arm across. Whether he hit or not, he would land on the ground then jump at the Pansear for a pursuit attack.
Flaws dodged Scratch! Flaws used Scratch! Flaws used Pursuit!
pansear nimble leaps out of the way of zorua's claws. he dives backwards and thinks he's out of the way of danger, before finding himself getting shoved from behind. pansear is angry, and scratches at the pokemon again.
Calvin huffed when the Pansear dodged the scratch, but it quickly turned into a smile when Flaws smashed into its back. Calvin tensed his arms with excitement, he wanted to jump around and celebrate, but it wasn't over yet, they still had a while to go. The pansear had quickly swivelled around to go in for a scratch attack, "Jump forwards and dodge it Flaws!" Calvin ordered quickly.
Flaws leaped forwards, using the momentum of pursuit to give him the benefit of speed. He went over the scratch attack and landed on the other side of Pansear. "Two scratches from behind! Go!" shouted Calvin, excited for what was to come.
Flaws leaped forwards with his claws out, aiming to scratch the pansear from behind...
