"Come on, girl. We've got, uh . . ." Rin was shortly stumped for a nickname before snapping their fingers! "Wadjeda! We've got Wadjeda, so let's go figure out whatever this place is supposed to be." Deigning to take it easy on their lungs, Rin settled for speedwalking the rest of the way the Solar Panel and Windmill Farm

Rin walked through the vast array of windmills and solar panels. Black fences, nearly 8 foot tall, kept people and Pokemon from getting to close to the equipment. In effect, this created a sort of black fence maze, as they weren't arranged in perfect rows.

As Rin turned one of these black fenced corners, a wild Skarmory landed in front of them. At first, he didn't notice the trainer's presence. But the crunching of dirt gave them away. His metallic wings made a soft screeching noise as he turned to face the trainer. It was hard to see any particular emotion behind his steely physique, but his eyes screamed lonely.

If their footsteps hadn't given them away their frustrated sigh would have if Rin hadn't run into the Skarmory first! Instinctively their hand reached for their Pokéball Belt since they'd returned Anusobeket to her pokéball after her she'd kept running into the fences face first. Originally they encouraged her to keep going, and to stay determined, but after the twenty-eighth time her Trainer couldn't really bare to see her smack into another one. So the sudden sight of The Armor Bird Pokémon shocked them right into a fight-impulse response . . . but then Rin saw his eyes. Letting their hand slack to their side and face even out from its previous glare, Rin couldn't help think he looked so sad, and it didn't take a genius to figure why. Rin had been failing to navigate through the makeshift maze for a few hours now, and they would have given up long ago if it weren't for their internal frustration at never figuring out Wadjeda's Typing pushing them towards laterally focusing on making it to their destination. So they couldn't imagine the Skarmory got many visitors, or interaction period. It must have been so lonely . . .

"Woah. Hey there, buddy," Rin put their hands up inoffensive and did their best to lace their tone in warm sentiment as they approached the wild pokémon. "How are you?" Rin smile gently and reached out to pet the Skarmory's beak.

"Chloris, I need this pokemon, I know you just worked real hard cut through that growth, but I need you a little longer. Use Magical Leaf." She whispered to Chloris. Who quietly nodded as it prepared it's move.

The wild Duskull hovered on the cliffs edge with his back Liz. He knew she was there, but he didn't care. He might say hello after the sunset, but this was his favorite time of day; dusk, the time of day that his species is named after. Nothing would ruin that... or so he thought.

In the silence, he heard a whisper. This caught his attention just enough to turn around and see Chloris preparing to attack. Suddenly all his lax naturedness dissipated. He was furious. "How dare they interrupt his moment of solitude! It's all I look forward to each day." he thought.

And so, with the sun to his back, he unleashed his attack. His shadow was already cast toward the trainer and her Pokemon. So it didn't take much effort to twist it around a little. By doing so, he created a nightmarish figure behind Chloris. It called out with a scream (the stuff of nightmares) and then slashed at Chloris.

Chloris was unable to launch her attack and the Shadow Sneak landed square on her back.

Result: Angry Ghost

@Balthazar007

The Duskull unleashed a quick Shadow Sneak, disrupting Chloris's attack. She shook her head recovering it's senses. It was ready to attack once more, the sun going lower in the sky.

"Come on girl, we got this, use razor leaf!!" Liz shouted out to her Pokemon.

"Woah. Hey there, buddy," Rin put their hands up inoffensive and did their best to lace their tone in warm sentiment as they approached the wild pokémon. "How are you?" Rin smiled gently and reached out to pet the Skarmory's beak.

Skarmory spread his wings in alarm as Rin reached out their hand, but he calmed down quickly. The human didn't appear to be threatening. So he lowered his wings and allowed Rin to touch his beak.

As Rin pet his beak, Skarmory remained silent. Any time they would slow down too much, he would nuzzle his beak into their hand. Eventually, this relaxed him enough to lay down on the ground, next to one of the black fences.

That's when a man appeared from behind one of the fences. He wore a plain white T-shirt with blue jeans and a green hat. He didn't look happy at all. "What do you think you're doing kid!? Kick that thing! Get it out of here!"

Naturally Rin had something to say on the matter, but he was ready for it. "I don't care! Look around you. Look at these fences. You see those holes. Those are from wild Skarmory like this one! Sometimes they even get behind the fences and peck at the machinery, and I'm the one that has to fix 'em. I don't care what your deal is with this thing. Get it the hell out of here, NOW!" The man's face was beet red.

The Duskull unleashed a quick Shadow Sneak, disrupting Chloris's attack. She shook her head recovering it's senses. It was ready to attack once more, the sun going lower in the sky.

"Come on girl, we got this, use razor leaf!!" Liz shouted out to her Pokemon.

They say that when normally calm and lax people become angry, the sight is horrific. It turns out the same can be said for Pokemon.

As Chloris launched her Razor Leaf, Duskull charged. As he charged, he also zig zagged in such a way that it created after images. The leaves kept hitting these after images and not Duskull himself. Once in range, Duskull let out the most horrific scream imaginable, worse than that of his Shadow Sneak attack. This caused Chloris to quit attacking and flinch. He then struck Chloris back down to the ground and hovered above her body. A dark aura surrounded his body.

Result: Wrath of Duskull

It was the early morning, and our young scientist and soon-to-be trainer is sleeping. It is his birthday, and he is sound asleep, slowly starting to wake up from the sunlight signalling the day to come. His homemade vintage alarm clock goes off at 7:00, making a strange extremely loud pulsing beep that is heard throughout the neighborhood. He jolts out of bed, both from anticipation and the startling fear from his very loud alarm clock, as he bangs his head off the ceiling after jumping out of bed. He presses a button on the top gently, which causes the ear piercing sound to shut off, with a soft -click- and a whirring of mechanisms. "Oh bloody 'ell, why did I make my bloody clock so loud! My ears are bleeding! But no matter, for it is the day I have been waiting for all year! Today is the day I get my first Pokemon and begin my journey! For honor!" He says brightly, giving mild profanity in his typical proper English accent after banging his head, brimming with excitement as his birthday is today. He quickly but carefully fixes his bed and tidies his room before bolting downstairs into the kitchen, where a sphere shaped object lies in the center of the table, with his father sitting at the one side with a mug of tea and a few English muffins. "Well, good morning Birthday Boy! Glad to see you up so early, that alarm clock of yours scared the Christ out of me." He says, giving a bit of a chuckle. "Go get something to eat and we can proceed with your birthday" he continues, taking a sip of his tea as Steven goes to make his breakfast. "Of course Father! Glad to see you're 'ome to celebrate my birthday! I am rather sorry my alarm clock startled you, I guess I made a mistake with the speaker." He says, giving a slight smile as he makes his breakfast, and a cup of tea.
--10 minutes later, after breakfast.--
Steven sits down in the living room, waiting for his father, freshly dressed in a classy looking brown suit with a golden bowtie. Soon enough, his father appears in the doorway, dressed in a typical lab-coat with a slight futuristic design, holding a silver Pokeball decorated with futuristic looking glowing blue symbols and a neon green ring where the two halves are connected. He is beaming, and puts it on his son's lap. Steven looks very exited, and smiles broadly. "Oh, thank you so much! This is what I have always dreamed of, my own pokemon! This is absolutely lovely, nothing could get better!" He says, opening the Pokeball and looking at the young Vulpix. Oh, how he thought nothing could go wrong little did he know, a few days later he would encounter an event that would change him, forever...
{Flashback to the accident.} --5 months, 3 weeks, 5 days before start of journey.--
A television starts up, starting with crackling, but turning into a news channel, with the island's most popular news station tuning on. A young woman stands outside what seems to be the wreckage of an aircraft, which is burning with bright fire as what appears to be fuel leaks from the side, which burns with strange green flames. A young man, very injured, with an equally injured Vulpix lying next to him, are taken out of the wreckage by stretcher. The woman begins to speak.
"It was a cacophony of pain and flames... He was exploring another place, outside of his hometown, when a horrible accident happened... The son of the professor of a relatively large city witnessed an evil team bent on world domination have a failure with one of their aircraft... The simple act of an engineer forgetting to tighten a bolt on the frame caused the frame to break when it was airborne... It crashed to the ground, the crumpled frame along with many innocent creatures crashed into poor Steven... He was crippled, and for around 18 months, he will be unable to function properly, unless he has a very complicated and expensive operation done on his body to save him... This has been totally generic news broadcasting, signing out."

--The day of the start of Steven's Journey, 5 months, 3 weeks, and 5 days after the accident...--
I walk out of my house, limping on the pathway towards the road. I hold the normal pokeball in my hand, containing my Snivy. Dispite my heavy pain, I have a smile on my face, as today is the day I begin my journey! I may have had to put a temporary halt on my plans, due to that aircraft crashing on me, but I am finally ready to begin my journey. After I saw those two go off on their journeys, I knew I cannot hold myself any longer! I take off on a run, heading for route 1 so I can finally befriend other Pokemon. It pains me that I must put my Pokemon through pain, the very creatures I love and have made my recovery less maddening and less lonely, but thus is the way of the trainer, in order to befriend Pokemon and know all there is to know about these wonderful creatures, I must put those I love in pain. At least they understand, and I cannot really hurt them too badly, so all is good! When I finally reach Route 1, I step towards the long grass, the wind in my hair and my special full body suit(similar to a zerosuit or a bodysuit from the Half-life series) radiating with passion. Shortly after I start taking in the area, a strange sense of Deja-Vu fills me. I have been here before. I push that aside, and start studying the wildlife and the plant life, in case this information will come into handy.

@Balthazar007

Liz was getting generally annoyed with this Duskull, Chloris was her strongest pokemon and this little ghost type was messing her whole day up!! She knew she had to switch pokemon, but Enyo would have no effect against it,maybe Hephaestus, she called back Chloris and sent out the Monferno hoping the Duskull did not take off.

"Hephaestus, burn the shit out of this spirit, use Ember!!" She called out.

As Steven worked his way through the forest, a wild Hoothoot followed, fluttering from tree top to tree top. She had a plan. As soon as she could land in a tree directly above his head without him noticing, she would fly down and give him a nice peck on the head. Her only motivation for such a random act of violence would be her naughty nature (picking on trainers is her forte).

Chloris was recalled back into her Pokeball, and Liz sent out Hephaestus in her place. Breathing in deeply, Hephaestus prepared for his attack. The wild Duskull seemed to be focused on the red light that had just absorbed the grass type Pokemon. Maybe this would be the perfect moment to catch him off guard.

But then a nightmarish figure appeared behind Hephaestus and let out another familiar scream. It was Duskull's Shadow Sneak attack again. He was only pretending to let his guard down. A strong slash came from out of the shadows and hit Hephaestus hard.

Result: Duskull's Rampage

-OPENING file. Please wait. Oh baby don't hurt me.-

I stand stock still as I hear a rustling and a flapping of wings. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a wild Pokemon pecks me right on the head. I look up, seeing a naughty Hoothoot fly above. I jump backwards in surprise and cry out loudly, "Ahh, what was that for? Niancy, get into gear! We must teach this Hoothoot a lesson in manners!" I do my battle pose, a happy but sly stance.

My vulpix mimics me and growls menacingly yet playfully (not using the move, just for fun). She jumps on my head and prepares herself for a potential fight.

"Niancy, use... EEEEEEMMMMMMBBEEEERRRR!" I yell out. I give the word 'ember' reverb with the intent to startle the wild pokemon. My battle cry is loud enough for any nearby trainer to hear.

Niancy frowns and shoots a weak fireball at the Hoothoot. She really doesn't want to hurt it, and neither do I. But we must do it if we want a new friend. Plus, this could all be part of becoming supreme world leader, to bring the world together and keep it safe!

Liz couldn't believe her luck, this Duskull was very strong and none of her Pokemon were a match for it. She was getting fustrated, ever since she was little all she wanted was a ghost pokemon. Now on her journey she came across her second favorite ghost type, and it was showing her just how much grit there type had. Running out of options, she knew what she was about to do would most likely not work. But she hoped that Arceus would take pity on her and just give her this one, not in all the years she lived did she ever truly pray to the Pokemon deity. But now she wished for it's help as the great ball left her hand and made it's way towards the raging pokemon.

As the weak flame came spewing out of Niancy's mouth, the wild Hoothot let out a loud noise. With only the power of her voice, she deflected Niancy's ember. The sound waves then crashed down upon the little fox pokemon. Wave after wave of sound echoed down upon her.

When Hoothoot's Echoed Voice attack finally finished, Niancy was left sprawled out on the ground unconscious. Hooting out in glee, the wild Hoothoot fled the scene.

Result: A Journey's Rough Start

But now she wished for it's help as the great ball left her hand and made it's way towards the raging pokemon.

Liz's Great Ball was one desperate act indeed. Duskull hadn't been weekend at all yet, if anything he was more fired up now that at the begging of the battle. How could this trainer not get it? How could she ruin his favorite thing in the world: dusk. The time of day which his species is named after.

The blue light from the Great Ball snapped him up, but the ball broke back open the moment it hit the ground below. Above the used up Great Ball, Duskull floated. The light inside him shined with a deep hateful red.

Then suddenly it changed. A strange calm washed over him, turning the light a pale pink. The sun was gone. The moment was ruined. There was nothing left to fight for. He had returned to his normal lax self. He turned his back to Liz to gaze out upon the sea. As he did this, his body faded away. Liz was left alone, and defeated.

Result: No Luck Today
