we're currently about to host calamity's first contest in slatepor. trainers are flocking to the city to see, the city's been trying to get good pr since the gala, and it seems to be working! they're asking for both coordinators and volunteer judges to sign up.

he's quick to move past rustboro and into the forest-y route past the city. cain's got three pokemon up his belt -- two dark types and a fire type. he snorts at the thought. what a great member of aqua he was. he doesn't even posess a water type, nor has he particularly planned to. it's just whatever pokemon he likes and can get his hands on, at this point.
cain has his murkrow and ponyta out. feng stays in his pokeball, because he's a hyperactive little shit that would probably scare all the ild pokemon away. he doesn't even have a name for the rest of them. he's never really good a them. maybe he'll get some muse after beating up some wild pokemon.

SOMETIMES I THINK I’M NOT THAT STRONG BUT THERE’S A FORCE THAT CARRIES ME ON
SICK OF MY SMALL HEART, MADE OF STEEL SICK OF THOSE WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL
Nuzleaf was excited, not quite for a battle but rather for a contest. Obviously. What else would get him excited other than showing off his totally cool tough moves around the globe and becoming famous. He couldn't understand people who thought otherwise. He jumped in front of the trainer, bowed, and began to show him his epic performance...
the bushes beside him shake, and cain tenses. "murkrow--" he calls. they're both ready to battle, but apparently this nuzleaf does not. it's squat. there's a leaf on it's head, which flips over as it bows. cain looks at it dubiously.
and then it dances. cain can't help but laugh because it's kind of a strange sight. it's a good effort though, he admits. but he's done enough performing already. cain's still barely recovered from the karaoke party he had not too long ago.
"murkrow? can you show him a dance maybe...?" said bird proceeds to glare at him. cain frowns, cringing. ponyta is a baby, it wouldn't know how to dance. and feng is probably going to try and chew this pokemon's head off. so he guesses that he's going to have to do it himself.
cain closes his eyes and sighs. okay, no big deal. it's only a pokemon right? he watches and starts dancing with the nuzleaf, copying it with sloppy movements.
The human could dance as well?! Amazing. He had never seen a dancing human before. Maybe now he could do all those dances that required two people. It lunged at Cain excitedly, grabbed his hands and began dancing the tango. The dance had Cain playing the girl's part of obviously the Nuzleaf playing the male's part. At the very end, the Nuzleaf added his own twist and picked up Cain like a viking, tossing him up and down, and threatening to throw him at the Murkrow. He didn't like the way the bird was looking at him.
nuzleaf is dancing for cain! nuzleaf takes cain hostage! nuzleaf is pissed at murkrow!
cain's dance is more then a little weird. he doesn't really know what he's doing. heck -- if someone were to see him right now, he's sure that he'd die of embarassment. although the nuzleaf is impressed. he thinks. he can't really tell with pokemon sometimes.
the pokemon lunges at him and grabs his hands. "wh-what??" cain yells as he's pulled into a dance. he can't believe it. cain struggles to follow the pokemon's dance. he barely misses stepping on the pokemon's toe a couple times -- thank god, because if he was angry there's no telling what can happen.
although he spoke too soon. suddenly the nuzleaf puts a hand on his hip and shoulder, and cain's lifted into the air like a viking. cain shrieks and struggles to break himself free. the pokemon's grasp, however, is really tight. his head spins as he's lifted into the air and jostled up and down.
he can barely register what's happening, but cain can see that he's facing the murkrow and shaking cain angrily at it. "h-hey can y-you do s-something?" he says between every shake. murkrow just glares straight back at him, he extends a wing and like fingers, beckons it to dare to do something. his stomach drops, and suddenly cain's fearing for his life.
at that point he's certain that he won't come out unscathed.
Nuzleaf shakes his head solemnly at Cain's shouting. It is not good to shout while dancing! When Cain is in the air, and the Murkrow glares at Nuzlef, the grass type practically explodes in rage. The grip on Cain tightens, and Nuzleaf prepares to strike. His hands outstretches forward, using Cain as a projectile toward Murkrow, throwing him with speed and efficiency as expected from his dancing tribe.
murkrow just made everything worse. he provokes the pokemom. cain grunts in pain as his grip tightens, and like a ragdoll he's thrown at murkrow. the bird, of course, easily flaps away from the assault. he guffaws in laughter, cawing. cain yells as he flies through the air. he's smart enough to roll through it so he doesn't break a bone or anything. but the assualt leaves him lying on his back, the world spinning in disorientation.
the ponyta nudges his nose on cain's shoulder. he's okay...the wind's just knocked out of him for a moment. and he can feel his body aching and forming the array of bruises right now.
he weakly picks up a hand and points to the nuzleaf. "please get it." and the murkrow, however reluctant, listens to cain and flies towards the nuzleaf. he flaps it before it glows white and heads straight for the nuzleaf in a wing attack.
Damn, it misses. Nuzleaf doesn't really care about the trainer, he supposes instead that humans shoudl be durable. Experience tells him that much, at least... The murkrow flaps away and then begins to launch an attack, which Nuzleaf dodges in return. The next one hurts like hell at rams the grass type into a tree. However Nuzleaf soon retaliates with hands outstretched to pound down the murkrow. Nuzleaf and the tree both begin to glow green as he unleashes nature's power on the bird.
cain sits up and wheezes. he tries to catch his breathe. he was thrown pretty hard just now. he pats on the ponyta as she nuzzles him and watches the battle unfold. murkrow should have the type advantage because he's a flying type, but nuzleaf possesses a stronger sense of power.
the nuzleaf summons the power from nature. it glows green and launches an energy ball at murkrow. it hits him square on, but he easily shakes it off and keeps going. the nuzleaf is obviously at a disadvantage.
"keep going." cain encourages. the ponyta even steps forward with it's eyes glowing orange. he desperately reaches forward, because it's only a pokemon and it's dangerous and -- the ponyta's sending a hypnosis towards the nuzleaf, which he guesses, isn't actually too bad.
it's helping out murkrow, which charges at the pokemon again with a wing attack.
The desire of revenge is replaced by an overwhelming urge to sleep and Nuzleaf is suddenly on his knees, on the grass, laying down. The last thought that crosses his mind is the image of a ponyta and strange pink and purple waves coming from its mouth. He doesn't feel the wing attack, but it does its damage to his body, sending him flying towards Cain, ironically enough.
nuzleaf falls asleep (1/3)! nuzleaf is hit towards cain by wing attack!
the nuzleaf finally falls -- asleep. it's completely unconscious, but cain's not sure if it's fainted or not yet. it'd be a lot easier if it is. ponyta successfully helps them out. cain pats it happily, because it's helped out after all. maybe he's coddling it too much. but then again, he's never had much experience with pokemon, much less baby pokemon.
he shrieks as it flies towards him, diving out of the way because he's already gotten injured enough. murkrow caws gleefully at the sign of its trainer in misery, because that's what dark typed pokemon tend to do. cain can only sigh in exasperation.
"finish it off." he says, letting murkrow do the rest of the work. it wouldn't kill it for sure, but once the bird finishes it's work he digs out an empty pokemon from his pocket. cain chucks it at nuzleaf and hopes that it's successfully captured.
murkrow♂ - super luck - level 16 moveset: haze, peck, astonish wing attack, pursuit murkrow uses wing attack ! cain throws a pokeball another pokemon please? :)
Nuzleaf can't feel the attack, but that doesn't mean it doesn't take its toll on him. He faints, and continues snoring, practically a sitting duck for the pokeball that captures him..
nuzleaf is captured! murkrow gains 1 level or ponyta gains 6 levels! 7 levels can be distributed between the pokemon.
Hootohoot was a legend, or so he fancied himself to be. Perched on the darkest corners of a tree, where trainers usually didn't bother looking, the pokemon had passed a lot of time without the bother of having to confront a trainer. But now, as it stood there, perched placidly, its large eyes met the ferocious ones of a Murkrow, and steady eye contact was made. In the world of trainers, eye contact spurred battle. Was it true for pokemon as well? The murkrow would have to decide..
cain sighs in relief as the nuzleaf goes down. the pokeball lands on the grass, jiggling a couple times before the center glows blue and goes still with a resounding click. that pokemon is a bit crazy, he's not sure if he'll be taking it out anytime soon. at least, not until the bruises on his tailbone and legs start to fade.
he walks over and picks it up, pocketing it into his backpack. he isn't really watching his pokemon while he does this. this simple but important fact comes back to haunt him, because as soon as cain turns around the murkrow is flapping right at another bird, its wings glowing white. arcues, it seems that it wants to fight everything.
cain is quick to move himself out of the way of this situation. he whips out his pokedex and focuses it on the pokemon. it's a hoothoot. rather creepy looking with it's red eyes and pointy brows, but it sounds like a rather powerful pokemon.
he'd be happy to let hoothoot and murkrow duke it out, but time is precious. he's going to need to speed up the battle a bit. while serling's out there battling, he takes out a pokeball. with a click his amuara forms before him.
"hey oono, could you use a powder snow on that guy?" cain asks. the little pokemon, however cute, is useful. his eyes glow blue, and with a breathe of air the pokemon blows a flurry of snow at the hoothoot.
Nuzleaf can't feel the attack, but that doesn't mean it doesn't take its toll on him. He faints, and continues snoring, practically a sitting duck for the pokeball that captures him..
nuzleaf is captured! murkrow gains 1 level or ponyta gains 6 levels! 7 levels can be distributed between the pokemon.
health status: healthy battle status: only 1 dodge reamining!
The hoothoot remained calm through the ordeal, almost achingly so, with hardly much of a blink as the murkrow dived straight at him. The wing attack was met head, on with only an eerie staring as a response. However, as the murkrow dived at its target, the hoothoot began swaying his pupils left and right, multiple times, in a strange and yet usually effective attempt to hypnotize the other bird. The attack was then dodged by an abrupt jumping off the branch, like a diver heading to the ocean. What the hoothoot had not expected was an Amaura to be waiting for him and to attack him-- the powder snow almost froze his feathers!
wild hoothoot appears! hoothoot dodges wing attack [1/2] hoothoot uses hypnosis x2 on murkrow hoothoot is hurt by powder snow!
oh no. cain thinks as the hoothoot sends a beam of hypnosis at murkrow. the bird falls to the ground, out cold. cain hastily returns it to his pokeball and pockets it, deciding that it'd be wise to let it wake up on its own. ponyta and amaura, however, aren't so strong. they'd never stand a choice against the hoothoot.
cain panics for a second, because he does want one. they're strong. but he doesnt know how to faint it. he looks at his ponyta helplessly. "uhhhh use hypnosis!" he says, pointing at the pokemon. ponyta's quick to listen. it's eyes glow white, and from the inside of it's skull it sends out shockwaves.
cain digs out an empty pokeball from his pocket and hurls it at the hoothoot. he just hoped that luck is on his side today.
