It was just a tad too bright this afternoon. The nice spots of cloud cover were fading away to the east, leaving the traveler and her ghostly companion to seek shelter closer to the treeline, where the shadows climbed up to their waists.
Well, her waist. The Duskull lacked bodily features like that.
She pressed on, starting into a low hum with each step. Allementhia felt pretty good about today. There was just something in the air! Something that told her things were going to start looking up, and she was eager for it. It was going to be an excellent time to get in on whatever action these Pokemon Trainers got to do on a day to day basis.
"Mmm, Poe, what was it you wanted to do today?" The query was met with silence before the ghost-type plopped down on top of her head. That wasn't very helpful at all, but there wasn't much she could expect from the little guy so late into the day. He slept and ate and that covered it aside from the repeat option he selected.
Regardless of her sleepy companion, Allementhia was much too excited to stop and rest. She pressed forward, deviating further from the road to remain in the shade of the trees.
Koffing was floating about doing what it usually does, fill the air with noxious gases, it wasn't trying to, it just sort of happens wherever the Pokemon travels. He didn't even notice that his presence caused such a thing, and so he casually floated about.

They only managed a few more steps before the breeze shifted directions, blowing the Koffing's natural odor in their direction. It was immediately noticable - Alle's face scrunched up and she covered her nose with her sleeve, making a noise of disgust. That was certainly going to take some getting used to.
Poe withstood it a bit better; while there was no truly distinct nose on the creature it had a sense of smell and it did smell rather awful around here. The ghost quivered a bit before moving forward ahead of the trainer it held somewhat dear, if only for consistent meals. Phasing through a nearby tree, it spotted the source and swooped up on high and positioned himself right in front of the Koffing and staring intensely with its singular eye. Poe stared and stared and stared, the red orb burning right into the face of the poison-type.
Allementhia was quick to catch up, and paused once she saw the source. "Koffing.... Koffing! Yes, that poison-type known for foul odors and explosions! Wow, one way out here in the boonies!" Her face cut into a jagged smile, and she called out to the wild one. "Hey Koffing! We're gunna fight you now, okay? Get readyyyyy! Poe, do your thing!"
The Duskull murmured its call and swooshed back a bit, then glowed and fired off a silhouette of itself at the Koffing once the attack was prepared. The attack was repeated a moment after, and Allementhia positioned herself safely behind the tree as the next moments came to them.
How rude, Koffing was just on a leisure float, and these two rapscallians attacked him for no reason, he was quite hurt from the surprise attack but would do his best not to get attacked by such a move again. "Kof kof kof." The Poison type said as it shot a poisonous cloud towards Duskull, and then sent out discharged of filthy gases.

The wild Koffing was certainly more resilient than she imagined! It took the Night Shade attacks rather well before getting understandably upset. Allementhia was getting excited over this kind of thing - now that the wild pokemon had grown aggressive, she could really see what she and her Duskull could do! It was two versus one after all, and she was going to do her best to give Poe all the help she could offer.
The Koffing fired off the first poison cloud and she gasped in as she realized what that could be. "Poe, you need to dodge that! It'll poison you!"
Poe reacted with a shudder and dipped low to the grasses and the ground, phasing half into the earth to dip below the discharge. Rising a bit too soon, however, and so Poe caught the next attack in the face - or the equivalent of on the deceased. Allementhia couldn't help but let out a noise of disgust and wondered if she'd need to give her Duskull a good scrubbing now that it had been blasted with those noxious odors - rotten eggs, eugh.
The Duskull looked ill and limped in flight for a moment, but straightened out and swooped towards the Koffing while firing off a set of Night Shade attacks.
82% Duskull dodged the Poison Gas! Duskull took Smog (100%->93%) and was Poisoned!. Duskull used Night Shade and Night Shade! Duskull is damaged by Poison. (93%->82%)
"Kof kof kof!" The Koffing laughed at the Duskull, as it spiraled out of the way of Nightshade. He would teach these fools there place, and not to mess with the mighty Poison types, It then launched another smog towards the Duskull, sneering at the Pokemon, would it able to last the endless waves of filthy gases?
Koffing dodged Nightshade! Koffing used Smog! Koffing used Smog!

Allementhia was rather impressed with these wild Pokemon. They were quite strong after all! Perhaps stronger than her own Pokemon currently was. With that fleeting thought she pulled out Poe's Pokeball and had it on standby in case this Koffing did prove too much to handle. "C'mon, Poe, you can do it! Try attacking from the side - flank the Koffing!"
Poe let out a sound of confirmation and dived down before trying to make his move, but before he could rise and turn he flew right through the Smog attacks. Poe stuttered in the air and almost fell - that gaseous cloud was a putrid wreck and the ghost was really starting to feel the effects of these attacks. Allementhia herself winced and closed her eyes.
Because of that, she missed seeing the Duskull phase through the tree and blast at the Koffing twice, the Night Shade attacks rocketing forth towards the poisonous foe.
57% Duskull took both Smog attacks! (82%->68%) Duskull then used two Night Shade attacks! Duskull took damage from Poison (68%->57%)
"Kof kof kof!" The Koffing coughed as it was pummeled rapidly with Nightshade, barely clinging onto consciousness it spat out two more smogs hoping it would take out the dastardly Duskull for good, if it not looks like it would taste the bitterness of defeat.
[newclass="#buns a"]width:100px;display:block;border-top:1px [var="flail"] solid;font-family:calibri,open sans condensed;font-size:10px;color:[var="flail"];letter-spacing:.5px;text-align:right;text-transform:uppercase;margin-bottom:4px;transition:all .4s linear;[/newclass][newclass="#buns a:hover"]color:[var="bounce"];[/newclass][newclass="buns a:before"]height:1px;width:0;top:-1px;left:0;background:[var="bounce"];position:absolute;content:"";transition:all .4s linear;[/newclass][newclass="#buns::first-line"]text-transform:uppercase;color:[var="bounce"];[/newclass][googlefont="Open Sans Condensed:300"][var name="flail" value="#eee"][var name="bounce" value="#777"]deceptiontreasonvengaence
Now this was the kind of action she was into! The Night Shades were beginning to bring about the end of the Koffing she could just tell! However, poor Poe was taking quite a beating from all of this action. She would need to get some potions ready for her poor Pokemon to rest up and recover once the battle was over.
It wasn't over just yet, however, as Poe watched the attacks pound away at the Koffing and if he could smile he would have. The Duskull chose to gloat silently and moved to follow the Koffing's decent, trying to keep level with it so as to land another attack if it was necessary - which it would be, as the koffing sputtered out a last salvo of attacks. Poe had no real way to dodge without giving up the ghost altogether, so he pushed through the smogged up air and fired off his own attacks.
The first and second Night Shade attacks made a whooshing sound as it tore through the smog clouds Duskull found itself in, with both attacks aimed right at the purple blob of poison and danger. Poe himself was making a beeline for the ground in order to wait for the Koffing's next move, or to rest.
57% Duskull took both Smog attacks! (57->43%) Duskull then used two Night Shade attacks! Duskull took damage from Poison (43%->32%)
Koffing hit the floor with a THUD. K.O. No Fatality. The Nightshades easily finished of the floating ball of pollution, where it would lay motionlessly till it was captured or left out there to regain consciousness at a later time.

They won the fight! Allementhia was practically bursting at the seams from the fact that her very first wild Pokemon encounter went in her favor! "Alright, Poe! Way to go!" she cried out with a hop, skip, and jump into the fray. It was somewhat of a mistake as the smell of rotting eggs passed by her nose but she could put up with the stench in order to scoop up her Poe into her arms.
The little guy looked worse for wear, but she gave him a beaming smile and held up the Pokeball he belonged to. "Hey now, you did really great! Really good job. Rest up, I'll get you some help soon." With that, she returned Poe to his Pokeball in order to keep him out of trouble. She had some barebones supplies on her she could use, but a Pokemon Center would be preferred...
... oh, right, the Koffing. She almost forgot about that thing! With an empty Pokeball in hand this time, she walked over to the knocked out Poison-type and plopped it down, bloop, right for a capture. Even if she didn't keep it, it was wrong to leave it out here without any kind of medical help!
32% Duskull leveled up! (Level 5 -> Level 7) Duskull learned Disable! Duskull was returned to the Pokeball! Allementhia is attempting to capture the Koffing! Thread end please!
