finny and fluffy. back on route 101 again, here to conquer the world. ever since what sylvester said, the thought of battling lurked at the back of his mind and nagged at him every day until he tossed and turned in bed, unable to think about anything else. he had to...! determined, finnian leapt out of bed that morning, ready to 1v1 some nerds like himself.
the only problem was finding that someone to battle him. you didn't just walk up to anybody to shout '1v1 me!!' without attracting stares and possibly getting punched in the face. after being turned down numerous times, finnian wasn't about to give up. his next target came into view and finnian bounced over, fluffy the eevee in tow.
ced tugged on collar of his uniform. while it did look stylish he just couldn't find comfort in it. but he was forced to wear it, being a ranger and all. he was on duty too. a simple mission on route 101. nothing he couldn't do on a simple day if there were no distractions.
too bad today wasn't one of those days.
with ponyta walking proud next to him the two strolled along the route. a simple patrol. but then the two were interrupted by someone who seemed very enthusiastic about battling.
"h-hey," he replied. sure, why not? he gave the ponyta two pats on his mane and off he went. yeah, he attacked first. that's something a ranger would do.
please don't leave the table, i'm still eating. my plate's half full, but i feel you motion towards the sink. am i boring you? i'm probably boring you.
finnian hoped he hadn't come off as too direct and forceful by initiating a battle. no, the guy was probably up for it himself. he didn't recognise the ranger's uniform, but when the guy turned around, all finny could really think was how cool he looked. man, he wondered if he could get himself one of those snappy lil' things as well.
at least his offer wasn't being turned down! it made finny a lot happier, too. "woah, really? alright, fluffy, you hear that? we're battling!" he bounced on his heels eagerly and let the eevee assume a battle stance.
his opponent kicked things off, but finny wasn't too daunted even as the ponyta took him on headfirst. "ummm, okay... sand-attack, fluffy! then let's get in there with a tackle!"
fluffy winced as the pain of the attack sunk in, but gritted his teeth and kept himself strong. the eevee turned around and promptly kicked up a cloud of sand, hopefully to confuse and stun the pokemon. he charged towards his opponent, head tucked in and forcing his body weight forward.
FLUFFY THE EEVEE / lv 05 / run away / -1 def helping hand, growl, tackle, tail whip, sand-attack FLUFFY USED SAND-ATTACK & TACKLE! cedric odair
Last Edit: Jul 4, 2015 16:09:54 GMT by FINNIAN COX
man. the trainer and the eevee looked way too energetic for his liking. he was afraid the dude would suddenly jump at him or something. he just nodded.
the cloud of dust and dirt blinded ponyta for a brief second, but it was just enough to let a tackle attack connect. the tackle made him stumble back a few spaces, but it was nothing he couldn't handle. he shook it off and stood strong, waiting for an order.
"again."
so the ponyta leaped around to shake his fire tail at the eevee. he then dug his hoofs into the ground and charged at the eevee once more, spinning into a firey ball that would damage.
please don't leave the table, i'm still eating. my plate's half full, but i feel you motion towards the sink. am i boring you? i'm probably boring you.
he'd almost forgotten what he had told sylvester. pictures! finnian was whipping out his camera faster than he could think, eager to take some shots. he snapped a few of cedric and his ponyta too, because, man, horses with fire on their manes were cool as hell. he took several of fluffy's back facing him. the eevee let out a growl in response to the ponyta's mesmerizing tail whip, his eyes trailing after the long fiery tail moving from side to side.
"look out, fluffy!" he called out. the eevee blinked, realising that the ponyta was charging straight towards him, and took a roll to the side as he charged past. he recovered quickly, ignoring the snapping coming from finnian's camera as he pursued his opponent and threw himself at the ponyta's legs, trying for another tackle to take them down.
FLUFFY THE EEVEE / lv 05 / run away / -2 def / 1 dodge left helping hand, growl, tackle, tail whip, sand-attack FLUFFY USED GROWL & TACKLE! cedric odair
he, quite literally, snorted when the trainer took out his camera and started taking pictures of the battle. he smiled for a few of them and even stuck up two fingers to pose for him. what a strange battle.
it surprised him when the eevee dodged the attack. for a small and weak thing it sure moved fast. no, he wasn't going to lose to this trainer. he was too busy taking pictures as well. it would be embarrassing.
"dodge and flame wheel," he ordered. the growl rendered his attack weaker as he hopped over to the side, narrowly dodging the tackle attack. the ponyta followed it up by whipping his tail across the eevee twice.
please don't leave the table, i'm still eating. my plate's half full, but i feel you motion towards the sink. am i boring you? i'm probably boring you.
the camera shutter was going crazy, snapping shots of the eevee in motion. finnian was particularly pleased by one that ended up capturing the eevee's dodge beautifully. he was busily admiring his work of art while his pokemon moved to attack, only to end up missing. shoot, he guessed his opponent was no rookie. he and fluffy were being backed into a corner.
the eevee received harsh lashings as the ponyta's flame wheel whipped at his face. the attack had done a great deal of damage, but fluffy was hanging on by the skin of his teeth. "you can do it, fluffy!" he cheered enthusiastically from the sidelines. the ball of fluff puffed up and gritted his teeth. everything was hurting and stinging, but he still had fight left in him. with laboured breathing, the eevee charged towards his opponent deftly, trying to make his last hurrah count for something.
FLUFFY THE EEVEE / lv 05 / run away / -2 def / 1 dodge left helping hand, growl, tackle, tail whip, sand-attack FLUFFY USED TACKLE x2! cedric odair
with all the pictures the guy was taking it left ceddy wondering what that guy did for a living. it was very clear he wasn't a trainer. nor was he affiliated with magma, aqua, or the rangers (probably). maybe a coordinator of sorts? who knew.
"dodg--" even before ceddy could finish his sentence the ponyta had taken the initiative to roll out of the way. the second tackle still hit him though. but he was still standing strong and was ready to go. the eevee, however, looked weak.
"finish it off," he ordered. ponyta's tail burned bright once more as he swung twice, looking to faint the eevee.
please don't leave the table, i'm still eating. my plate's half full, but i feel you motion towards the sink. am i boring you? i'm probably boring you.
the difference in pokemon abilities was becoming apparent. the ponyta was larger, sturdier, and stronger in general. fluffy was outmatched in every essence. the eevee let out a squeak as he deftly managed to dodge one of the flame wheels, only to be hit by the next and ended up knocked over to the side. he fell into a heap of fur. finnian's camera clicked one last time before the silverette pulled his face away from the camera, realising the battle was over.
"fluffy!" he screamed, dropping the camera to hang from his neck as he rushed to the eevee's aid. he scooped fluffy into his arms. the fainted creature was limp, heartbeat slow. "uh, uh, i guess you win-- what do i do, what do i do?!" his voice hitched at the last bit, finnian very much panicking over his fainted pokemon. what was he supposed to do?
FLUFFY THE EEVEE / lv 05 / run away / -2 def / 1 dodge left helping hand, growl, tackle, tail whip, sand-attack FLUFFY FAINTED! cedric odair
the eevee soon fell to ponyta's flame wheel. as predicted, of course. he doesn't lose easily. ponya galloped back to ceddy's side. ceddy placed his hand on the fire horse's mane, rubbing it gently. "good job," he whispered.
once he was done he walked over to the silver haired trainer and his fallen eevee. "according to law you're supposed to give me all your money now," he said with a serious tone. it was a joke, he just wanted to mess with the guy.
"jokes aside as a ranger i'm obligated to tell you to visit a pokemon center to heal your pokemon. but as a trainer i have to tell you to put your fucking camera down and pay attention to battles."
he sighed. the incompetence of some trainers just annoyed him. the guy was more focused on getting good pictures than the well-being of his own eevee.
"nice try, though."
please don't leave the table, i'm still eating. my plate's half full, but i feel you motion towards the sink. am i boring you? i'm probably boring you.
finnian's breathing was erratic. his entire body shook violently as he held his fainted eevee, at loss for what to do. cedric's words weren't helping. he was about ready to dive into his pockets and fish out all the money he had saved up over the years when cedric said he was pulling his leg. not funny, dude, not funny!
he was probably right about the camera. "right, right, uh, okay," he mumbled. which way was the pokemon center again? he kind of felt like a dolt now, rushing into a battle, then promptly forgetting about the real reason he was battling and ignoring his pokemon over pictures. if his lenses hadn't cost him a fortune, he would have smashed them right then and there.
"t-thanks, i guess?" he croaked, looking a little hollowed. "um, which way is the pokemon center?"
ceddy felt a bit sorry for the guy. he was clearly inexperienced with the battling scene and seeing him all shaken up didn't help ease his feelings. poor guy. he should comfort him, right?
he put one hand on the guy's shoulder, giving it a few good pats before smiling. "hey, don't worry about it," he said. he looked around for a while, letting the air clear a bit before speaking again.
"you didn't know better. now you do, so the next time you battle promise me you'll pay closer attention to your eevee."
he finished it off with a smile and a thumbs up.
"pokemon center's that way."
ceddy pointed north along the route. oldale wasn't too far away now. he sighed again, waving goodbye as he turned and walked away.
please don't leave the table, i'm still eating. my plate's half full, but i feel you motion towards the sink. am i boring you? i'm probably boring you.
a part of finnian felt a little... shattered. he had been raring to go, but now he wasn't really sure where he could go with this. he looked down at fluffy, feeling cedric's hand on his shoulder as he took a deep sigh. a part of him had really, really wanted to win. it would have been great to see fluffy win, have his first battle victory framed up in his scrapbook... it was all for naught now.
"yeah," finnian mumbled, still looking disheartened. "h-hey, you said you were a ranger, right? my cuz's a ranger too!" he piqued, "you happen to know her?" eyes gleaming, finnian momentarily forgot the fainted pokemon in his care. feelings of admiration overwhelmed him. rangers were strong and cool and golly gee, he wanted to be one too, now. there was no thinking twice about this sort of thing.
maybe he should have been a little less blunt with the guy. he looked broken and demotivated. but that suddenly changed when the guy brought up his cousin and the rangers.
ah, how he wished he had taken the time to acquaint himself with the fellow rangers. he knew a few. not a lot, but enough. but a cousin of this guy should have silver hair, right? no one with silver hair came to mind. but then again they might not even have silver hair.
"n-no? i'm not sure. what's her name?" he replied.
"cedric," he introduced, sticking his hand out for a handshake.
please don't leave the table, i'm still eating. my plate's half full, but i feel you motion towards the sink. am i boring you? i'm probably boring you.
he nodded at the name. cedric, hmm, he'd remember that. his hands were full, so he couldn't snap a shot with cedric, but they could do that when they bumped into each other again. he could always ask briley if she knew him, seeing as he didn't seem to register anyone in mind. "beckett," he supplied, "we're related on our moms' side, so we got different last names."
finnian felt fluffy stirring in his arms. "fluffy!" finnian gasped, clutching the eevee close. the pokemon was breathing heavily, and panic began to stir in finnian's heart again. "o-oh man, okay, i'm going to go the pokemon center first. i'll see you around, yeah?" he didn't wait for a response. fluffy called for him and he would answer to his pokemon. as fast as his legs could carry him, finnian dashed towards the pokemon center with fluffy in his arms.
