Only stopping for a few hours in Oldale Town to have their Pokemon checked up, the two boys soon found themselves on route 102. Nothing eventful really happened on the previous route they were traveling. Unless, one counted the fact that the boys caught there second Pokemon there. But, whereas this might have been a huge accomplishment for his brother, to Usa, capturing a flying type was the worst possible outcome. I should have just left it there... he thought as he fiddled with the Zubat's pokeball in his pocket. But, it fainted. Leaving it there would have been cruel. He shrugged his shoulders and smirked. Whatever. I'm sure I can handle it... I just don't have to touch it and give commands from a distance. That should be easy enough. As his mind began to wonder about his newly captured Pokemon, he continued along side his brother down the bushy path.
Suddenly, Usa remembered something. There were Pokemon here that would potentially make a good addition to roster. I wonder what this route has in store for us... he muttered. With an uncharacteristic gleam of excitement, he turned to his brother and announced: I heard that psychic Pokemon sometimes pop up around here...I wonder if we'll find one!
as the two brothers walked the route something was following them. tracking them, almost. when the time was right he jumped out of the bush and pointed at them. he wanted to battle.
Walking, walking and more walking. Life doesn't get better than this right? Risu smiled and looked towards this sky. "Yeah I wonder too Usa, but hey you looked pretty good in that battle." He chuckled before patting his his own chest. "The region isn't ready for us at all and we'll take them all by storm. At this rate at least." He smiled and looked at his brother once more with a grin and a thumbs up.
He couldn't help but feel they were being followed. Risu turned reaching for his belt where his pokeballs were. There was a Drowzee looking rather intimidating. Pointing at the two of them basically asking for a fight. "Don't worry bro, I'll handle this Drowzee, in fact I already thought of the perfect name. Fuki, you'll soon be mine." He tossed out Toki his first Pokemon, this loud boisterous pokemon would be perfect for this fight. Not that Atsu was weak, just that this didn't seem like the time for her to come on out. "Toki! Focus energy then give him a leer!" He cried out watching his green behemoth let out a roar. This roar caused him to glow yellow for a short moment Toki was pumped.
Toki slashed his own blades together before giving a harsh steaming glare at the Drowzee. Lowering the defenses it was clear the next move Toki went for would be for the attack.
Right on the money! Usa's face lit up as he turned to find a psychic Pokemon standing in the distance. I was right! He reached for his Absol's pokeball. A psychic type was just the type I needed to make my team stronger... But, his brother beat him to it. Before he could even move, Risu had already called out his Pokemon, and launched an attack on the Drowzee.
Usa sighed. Well, fine. I guess you can have it. He was disappointed. He really wanted a psychic type. Maybe the next one... He slowly made his to a rock and sat on it. "Good luck" he yelled as he began to watch the battle between his brother and the wild Pokemon more intently.
Why would he follow up a focus energy with a leer? He should have attacked! The battle had just started, but he was already finding fault with his brother's strategy.
"Wrong, you should..." before he could finish his sentence, a hand reached out of the shadowy bush behind him to tap him on the shoulder. Startled, Usa jumped to attention. He then turned sharply to see what had touched his shoulder. To his surprise, a shadowy figure stood before him.
"Don't be startled youngster" The figure said in a mysterious voice. "I am a trainer that no longer wishes to continue..."
Continue? What? Usa was confused. "What do you..." Before he could finish his sentence, the stranger continued: "Here take this egg...take good care of it...please" Usa didn't move a muscle. He was wary of strangers. "No?" the stranger murmured. "I'm sure you won't regret it". She then slowly lowered the egg to the ground and rested it next to the rock.he stranger smiled and then began to walk away. "Wait...what...where...who?" Before he could get any answers, the stranger had already disappeared into the bushes.
Usa looked down at the egg, and then searched the bushes with his eyes. The stranger was gone. All that was before him now was the egg. He slowly walked towards it, paused for a moment, and then picked it up. The egg was warm - it moved slightly. "Thank you...?" Usa muttered as he turned to look in the direction of his brother. His face had a 'did-you-just-see-that' expression. Sadly, his brother was too busy with his battle. Usa looked down at the egg once more. Pulling it closer to his body, he thought: I guess you're mine now".
well at least it was just the one guy battling him and not both of them. drowzee laughed at the scyther's attempts and retaliated with his own two moves.
SPOOKY DROWZEE used disable (leer) SPOOKY DROWZEE used hypnosis
Risu watched as the Drowzee used some form of psychic attack. The first one was disable. That attack caused a pokemon to no longer be able to use that move in the battle. He noticed however that this Drowzee was not moving but using its psychic abilities to its advantage. The chubby elephant was using a hand motion waving in an up and down manner. Hypnosis!? "Toki quick move away! Dodge!!!" He cried towards his large bug type to move out of the way.
Toki darted towards the left, it's only choice was fighting close up. Using his own tactics Toki began using quick attack on his own accord. The sly bug pokemon attacks square for the stomach. Then winding a hand back to use vaccum wave.
Usa's attention quickly returned to the battle. With his newly acquired egg in hand, he made his way over to the opposite side of the path. That side seemed less shadowy, which meant he was less likely to be snuck up on again. He wrapped his arms around his egg and then nestled himself against a tree. Alright, let's see how you do, Risu. Let's see if that last capture was just a fluke. He stared intensely at the battlefield, scrutinizing every move his brother made.
See, I knew you would have that problem. Launching close range attacks on a Pokemon that uses long range moves is hard enough. You have to attack when you get he chance!
With a sly grin on his face, he announced: "Hey, if you don't wrap this up in another minute or so, I'm stepping in...and I just might snatch that Drowzee away from you". He followed up his proclamation with a playful wink.
"Toki; Quick attack!" He cried out as his Scyther had managed to get one more attack off before being assaulted by the psychic type attacks. Hypnosis, that's a rather strong move when you get down to the situation. He dodged it once but it seemed like this was all that Drowzee wanted to do.
Toki seemed to stand completely still after hitting with that quick attack. It seemed like a good hit too. Toki still had full health but to be put fast asleep like that might be an issue. C'mon Toki wake up!!" He raised a fist hoping that his yelling would wake up Toki, however to no avail for now.
Usa stood in silence as the battle unfolded - still ever critical of every move his brother made. What are you waiting for? Come on, come on...if Toki fell asleep, the next move should be pretty obvious; either do something to wake him up or switch out...don't just stand there.
Adjusting his grip on his poke egg, Usa moved closer towards the battlefield. "Why don't you try sending another Pokemon out...did you forget you have two now?" His tone seemed to reflect the impatience that his inner dialogue portrayed.
Even though I got this egg, I want to battle another wild Pokemon too you know. I mean, zubat really shouldn't count as my second capture... His face took on an awkward expression. Disgust? Uncertainty? He sighed and dropped his head in a shameful manner. Why did my second Pokemon have to be flying type!?
he watched as the scyther fell asleep. a grin grew across his face which was followed by maniacal laughter. now was the time to strike! he also pointed at the blonde with the egg. he was going to steal that soon.
drowzee is hurt SPOOKY DROWZEE used pound SPOOKY DROWZEE used pound
Risu watched as his friend Toki began taking a pummeling. Two pounds? That had to hurt. "Toki wake up now!" He looked over to Usa who was being over critical. "Just stop we can handle this, if I switch out now Toki won't think I trust him."
Risu looked over towards the battle field again, it seemed that Drowzee would get those attacks off without a hitch. Though you know what they say right? Never hit a sleeping dog? He reached for his glasses and put them on pushing them up. At this very moment Toki was smacked around his eyes shot wide open. "Never hit someone fast asleep this is a gimmie for them." Risu and Toki had a similar pose, and watched his bug. "Now Quick attack we have to end this fast!"
Usa felt a chill run down his spine. Was that Drowzee looking at me? The Pokemon was definitely a spooky one. But, so far it seemed smart. The kind of Pokemon he thought his brother needed. This was not to say that Toki wasn't smart. But, it seemed to be more in tuned with Risu's style of fighting - the fast paced, think as you go approach. A Pokemon with a different 'feel' would probably push Risu outside of his comfort zone. This was something Usa felt Risu needed since he was less textbook inclined than he was.
Still, the Drowzee creeped him out, and he feared whether this would continue even after the Pokemon joined his brother's team. He instinctively pulled his Poke egg closer. For a moment, it looked as if the wild Pokemon was eyeing his egg.
"Just stop we can handle this..."
"Fine" Usa responded. "Don't blame me if something goes wrong cause I tried to warn you..." Sulking, he returned to the tree he had been leaning on for most of the battle. He took a seat and rested his back against the tree trunk. Well aren't YOU lucky Toki woke up...
once the scyther awoke the drowzee prepared himself for the attack. quick attack did a lot, and it almost sent him down. almost. drowzee still had one last attack in him.
Risu looked straight at the Drowzee, this guy must be a tough cookie to keep fighting like this. He pushed his glasses after the elephant esqued pokemon raised his fist in what seemed to be a final attempt at an attack. Toki had taken the hit and fell to the ground for a split moment causing a stronger hit than the last two.
"Toki one last quick attack! Give it all you got!" He yelled out and gripped his fist watching his large insect dash with a bit of clear wind behind him.
