The air almost seemed toxic with the tension between Sigurd and the Munchlax. Actually it was much more one sided; the Munchlax just stood there aloofly, staring off into space with its finger on its chin. Sigurd glanced down towards Rusty and the two nodded as the Scraggy walked in front of its trainer, glaring at the Big Eater pokemon with its large eyes. "Okay Rusty, ready? This is going to be our first capture." He clenched his fists just to stop his his hands from shaking from sheer nervousness. 

"Scrag!" It stomped its feet to the ground and growled at the oblivious pokemon in front of them. It had to make up for that performance against Joshua, it needed to win to have confidence that it will become stronger and won't hold Sigurd back. 

"Rusty, use Feint Attack!" At his trainer's orders the Scraggy dashed in a straight line towards the Munchlax and then it vanished, leaving a faint after image in its place. Rusty then reappeared by the Munchlax's side and then rammed its elbow against the side of its head, the pokemon's head jerked from the hit though it still kept a poker face even from the attack. Did the attack even land? He was sure that Rusty's attack connected. "Okay follow up with a Zen Headbutt!" Rusty's forehead began to glow a light, translucent blue and before the Munchlax could avoid the attack, it received a headbutt to its own forehead, but for some reason it still had that poker face. Why was the damage not effecting it? "Keep it up!" A flurry of headbutts flew at at the Big Eater pokemon and each blow landed but it remained calm, not showing an sort of pain. 

Wait a minute...this pokemon was minimizing the damage! With every attack that was sent at the Munchlax, it would move in the direction of the attacks motion and that in turn would lessen the impact of the attacks. "Use Low Kick!" Quickly he ducked down and swiped it legs towards the Munchlax to make it lose its balance, but it hopped to avoid the attack. 

"Lax!" It brought its large tongue out and it slowly licked Rusty up and down, in places that no one should ever be licked. Rusty just stood there twitching, feeling any sense of privacy vanished. While ghost type moves aren't effective against dark types, but in this case the grossness of this move was far more effective than any type advantage. 

"Oh poor guy..." Sigurd mumbled to himself, but there was no time to feel bad for Rusty. Electricity crackled around the Munchlax's fist and it was about to send a hook towards Rusty. "Get out of there Rusty!" He couldn't move though; the attack had paralyzed him due to pure disgust. The Thunder Punch connected and it sent the Scraggy tumbling backwards before smacking against a tree face first. "Rusty!" 

The Scraggy rolled into a sitting position and shook its head. It took a heavy blow, but thankfully it didn't knock it out. "Scrag!" It hopped back on its feet and was raring to go. 

[i]Good, he's still in high spirits.[/i] Sigurd thought to himself. Wait a minute, what is this purple aura around this Munchlax? Pulling out his pokedex he read this Munchlax's moves. Thunder Punch, Amnesia, Lick, and Curse. This must've been curse. For non-ghost types curse lowers the pokemon's speed, but in turn increases defense and attack. This pokemon had the upper hand so why would it want to use this move at the risk of losing a speed match? Looking closer, there were signs of pain and exhaustion from the previous blows. Even when the damage was minimized the accumulated damage still was a source of pain. 

The Munchlax looked at the Scraggy with its dinner plate eyes and it tilted its head. "Lax?" The heck? The pain on its face faded away in an instant. That must've been Amnesia, it was used to forget pain for a temporary time though it was still there. It was the first to move and it dashed towards Rusty with electricity crackling around its fist and threw a straight punch, but its reflexes were much slower due to its decrease in speed so it was easy for Rusty to dodge. The Scraggy shifted its body to the right, letting the fist smashing against the tree behind Rusty. The fist left a hole and burn marks where the first landed and it still wasn't done. It swung its fist again and Rusty ducked under it. 

"Use Low Kick!" While still in its crouching position, it swung its leg down in a sweep motion while the Munchlax's weight was still shifted forward due to the punch. The Munchlax's weight was imbalanced and it fell on its left side, but it grabbed Rusty's feet, licking its feet viciously. A shiver traveled down its spine, feeling violated once again. "Don't let that stop you! Sand Attack in its mouth!" It barely heard its owner, but Rusty followed through and kicked dirt in the Munchlax's mouth as it licked its feet. 

"L-Lax!" The Big Eater pokemon gagged on the dirt and began to spit it out as began to stand back up, but this would prove to be its downfall. 

"Zen Headbutt!" 

The translucent light blue aura glowed on Rusty's head. "Scrag scrag scrag!" It smacked its head down against the Munchlax and the glutton was sent flying back into a tree just like Rusty did earlier. There were swirls where its eyes should've been, fainting from exhaustion. 

Sigurd tossed the pokeball and it landed on top of the head and it was absorbed into the ball. 

Shake....shake...shake...click

With a grin, Sigurd picked up the pokeball and shaking with excitement, he held it high in the air. "Hell yeah!"
