[IC] Pokémon: Legacy of Trainers (Slice of Life RP)

[Zanavy]

Trillo kept watching the trainer and Minccino with its beady eyes. He went back into his shell again - but this time, he curled up and Hardened in a way that would prepare him to handle more attempts to break the glass.

Scrafty grunted as he took a glancing blow from the Shadow Ball. It slowed him down, but not too much.

"Crunch again, but hit it this time!" Barley shouted. Scrafty complied, chomping at Gengar again.

Sableye cackled as Eski fell. Then a Psybeam hit her full-on in the face... but she only laughed louder. A mind as Dark as hers couldn't be damaged by Psychic tricks. Her snickering finally stopped when some sort of pink fluffy enemy appeared.

Barley also frowned at the new Sylveon and considered for a second before continuing the attack.

"Shadow Claw!"

Sableye wavered for a second, sizing up the Sylveon. Her one weakness... sweetness. Even then, she could probably take on a Sylveon... if she wasn't suffering from a worsening burn. Nah, that was a dumb idea. She had a better one.

"If ya care so much about deese dumb Pokemon," Sableye hissed, "ya shouldn't start fights around 'em. Someone could get hurt." The ghost's feet phased through Arctozolt's cage. "If ya don't turn tail in ten seconds, I can make dis guy go extinct again."

To prove her point, Sableye phased the rest of the way into the cage and slashed Arctozolt across the snout with a Shadow Claw. The electric type fell back and moaned, barely conscious.

Barley raised his brows for a second and then turned red. He did NOT like his Pokemon disobeying him like that! Well... he supposed she technically followed his command, her own way. That Sableye was just going to improv sometimes, and he couldn't change that.

Gengar attempted to fire another shadow ball at the other pokemon. Sarah sighed. She took a deep breath.
"Alright, you can do whatever it takes!"

Gengar simply nodded. He kept attacking.

Alakazam blinked. He looked very unhappy. He narrowed his eyes. He fired a physic beam at the sableye but missed.

"Alright buddy," Alan told Pip as he pointed at the padlock "Tail Slap b-but be careful about the g-glass!" Pip didn't need to signal his agreement with his trainer and did exactly as Alan told him aiming for the latch. Pip hit the lock around four times and both the pokémon and his trainer heard the resounding crack of the glass as the lock clacked against the latch...

[Alisdragon911]

”Alakazan, stop this fight. I don’t want to see Arctozo being torture. I can see that Sableye’s trainer does not like her.” May said to the Sableye as she starts to stare at Sableye without blinking using the move called Charm. Espeon notices a latch on the cage and claws at it.

[Zanavy]

The lock on Trillo's cage was also quite sturdy and resistant to breaking. But this did make it a helpful battering ram against the glass. A couple small cracks formed, leaking occasional drops of water. Trillo zoomed forward toward the spot with another Aqua Jet, forming a crack large enough for a steady trickle now. It would take all day for these two Pokemon to break a hole large enough for the Kabuto to get out. But with a bit more work, they might be able to make a crack large enough to communicate.

Scrafty took another Shadow Ball and kept fighting through the pain.

"You'll wear it down soon," Barley coached. "Keep Crunching!"

Scrafty continued the attack, using trained footwork to remain as close as possible to his Gengar target.

The cages could weaken most Pokemon moves, but their transparent walls did nothing to stop a look. Sableye couldn't help taking a peek into the Sylveon's dazzling, sapphire-like eyes. The 2% of a soul she had melted, and her ferocity faltered a bit.

Sableye shook her head and growled... she still had a job to do, and none of these Pokemon looked like they were going to take her wise advice. She turned back to Arctozolt for a knockout blow - and was surprised to see the frightened Pokemon fighting back with its own move. The Shadow Claw and Thundershock hit at the same time. Arctozolt fell back into the frost, knocked out. The electricity sent Sableye flying back until she was phased halfway out of the cage. She paused for one second, stunned that a fossil Pokemon had dared to attack her.

@Zanavy

'Hey can you hear me?' Pip hit the cage one last time, the water leaking faster but the glass still remained intact. Pip now able to communicate to the Kabuto got close to the glass 'Hiya we're trying to save you I'm Pip and this is my friend Alan,' Pip gestured towards the trainer 'Can you try to break the glass? My tail isn't strong enough but your shell could do the trick!' Pip pointed to the Kabuto then the glass 'If you get hurt we'll help you no worries!' Pip nodded exaggeratedly.

Alakazam fired another beam.

"Alakazam!!"

Gengar fired another shadow ball before seeming to disappear. Sarah smirked. She knew for a fact a ghost type pokemon like gengar, especially a well trained one, could give any physic type pokemon, like sableye for example, a run for their money.

[Alisdragon911]

“Moon Blast,” Faye said as Sylveon launch her attack at Sableye. Faye is wonder how to get the key from the ring leader as Espeon is lurking in the shadows. The Espeon is waiting for her chance to encounter the ring leader to get the mastekr key to open the cages.

[Zanavy]

Trillo could hear some but not all of Pip's explanation. He rammed into the cage a couple more times. Then he rested near the lock to wait for his head to stop swimming.

"The human uses these steel sticks to open the cage," Trillo shouted. "Does your human have any steel sticks?"

FOOOOOMMM!!

The lovely pink sparkles of Moonblast streamed right into whatever part of Sableye was sticking out of the cage - namely, the face. The dark type froze for a second with crazed eyes. Then she wheezed and faceplanted onto the glass.

Ringmaster Barley grimaced at his partner Pokemon's predicament - knocked out halfway out of a cage.

I really hope this doesn't decapitate you...

Barley returned Sableye to her pokeball, safe and not decapitated. In her place he sent out a Weezing.

"Quick, Sludge Bomb the pink one!" Barley ordered, hoping to get some quick damage out. Weezing hacked up a ball of toxic grime toward Sylveon.

Barley also recalled Scrafty. He sent out a Mr. Mime.

[Vampiretwilight]

@Zanavy
Gengar seemed pretty invisible until......

"Gengar!"

Gengar suddenly used nightshade attack at the new pokemon.

"Alakazam!"

Alakazam attacked again. Sarah watched as he used Disable on either pokemon.

[Dark Cloud]

'There might be one nearby' Pip scampered over to a pile of garbage and swept it with his tail but no stick, he searched a garbage can and luckly found a rusty screw driver amongst some screws which he brought over to Alan " Fantastic Pip!" he took the screwdriver from his pokémon frowning as the head of the screwdriver was a little worn.

After a moment of struggle Alan managed to screw the latch halfway off but the screwdriver broke from the pressure he put on it. Alan slumped against a garbage can sighing, exhausted from the struggle. Pip tapped the Kabuto's cage 'Hit the area of the lock it will pop of so be careful' Pip frantically gestured to the top of the cage which was slightly ajar from unscrewing the screws.

[Alisdragon911]

May the Sylveon dodge the Sludge Ball. “Psyshock, Faye said as she runs over to the cage with Arctovolt’s cage and pulls out a hairpin. She starts working on the latch to see if she can heal the Pokémon. Sylveon materlize psychic energy and shot it in a wave at Weezing.

[Zanavy]

Trillo bobbed up and down in his version of a nod. He rammed near the lock again. One of the screws popped off, but the rest still held. The Pokemon's glowing eyes dimmed in a defeated look, but after a few seconds mustered up some more optimism. This was much closer than he imagined they would get without the steel sticks. Maybe, between the two Pokemon, this cage would break soon.

Mr. Mime let out a loud scream as the scary Pokemon appeared right in front of him. Then he blushed, remembering that a good mime is supposed to stay silent. Weezing's faces clenched in pain as the psychic wave rippled through her. She stayed strong through the blow, looking quite angry at Sylveon and the Alakazam several feet away.

Barley was starting to look red and sweaty, a combination between nerves and the hot ringleader suit that was really not convenient in this situation. His eyes darted around the battlefield. He could send out more Pokemon... but he would have a hard time keeping track of more than two at once. He could... no, not yet.

"Weezing, Smokescreen. Mr. Mime, Light Screen."

Going with a defensive strategy this turn, Mr. Mime pantomimed a wide wall around himself. The area around his team shimmered gold for an instant, signifying a barrier against special attacks. Then, a thick cloud of purplish-black smoke billowed out of Weezings's mouths. The area around Weezing and Mr. Mime was obscured, as well as Barley, making them harder to find.

As Faye worked on picking the lock, the hairpin suddenly burned white-hot in her hand. A spark of flame also hit the unconscious Arctozolt inside.

[Vampiretwilight]

@Zanavy@Alisdragon911@Blackmist16
Sarah gasped.
"Stop them!"

She ran outside. she had returned Alakazam to his pokeball. Gengar floated above, looking around from the air.

"Rapidash!"
Sarah stopped the very fast horse pokemon. She got onto her back since she was much much faster than a car, and seemed just as willing to go after him as the other pokemon.

Sarah was prepared to give chase, or track him down, whichever came first.

[Dark Cloud]

Pip almost lost hope until Alan decided to start pulling the top of the cage, mustering what strength he had to pull the lid off further. After less than a minute he heard a pop as one side of the top became loose, the gap wasn't large but the Kabuto would be able to push through it if it tried. Alan exhausted from pulling on the lid sat with a heavy sigh of exhaustion but Pip now able to clearly communicate was excited 'Hit the lid it's about to pop off!' Pip exaggeratedly tugged the lid.

[Alisdragon911]

Faye drops the hairpin as it burns her hand she tears up. She will be guilty if the Pokémon dies and could not get a revive to help Arctozolt. Faye recalls Sylveon and calls out Arcaine and starts sniffing the area to pick up the Ring leader’s scent. The Arcaine is worri about his trainer’s hand Faye looks at her Arcaine to sooth him that she is okay. She pets him as her Arcaine starts track the ring leader, hopefully find him soon.

[Zanavy]

Trillo rammed into the area near the lock with one more Aqua Jet. The thick lock popped off with a CLANG, taking big chunks of its side of the cage with it.

"Free!" Trillo declared.

Then a rush of cloudy water gushed out of the broken cage, taking the Pokemon with it. The surge sent him tumbling across the ground a couple times until he came to rest on his shelled back. The Kabuto blinked for a second and then futilely waggled his claws through the air.

"Uh, less free."

Barley never moved, didn't dare to make a sound in the cover of smoke. It seemed one of the trainers left the fight for some reason, while the other wasted time calling forth a different Pokemon. Did... did they think he ran away? Barley was almost insulted by the thought... he may be many things, but he wasn't that much of a coward. Usually.

The ringmaster took a second to consider his options. As much as he wanted to show all these trainers why they messed with the wrong man, it may be better to cut his losses this time.

Barley recalled Weezing and kept out Mr. Mime.

"Stay close," he whispered to the psychic type as he quietly moved toward Lileep's cage. "Safeguard."

Mr. Mime nodded silently, in his element. With the faintest glow he could manage, he set up the protecting move. Ringmaster Barley reached the terrified Lileep's cage and pulled a keyring out of an inside pocket in his flamboyant jacket.

[Dark Cloud]

@Zanavy

"Yes!" Alan pumped his fist but stopped as the pokémon seemed to be stuck again, he was about to help it when Pip sprung into action instead 'Wait I'll help,' Pip flipped the Kabuto lightly onto its side with difficulty 'We were glad to save you from the bad man' Pip shrugged bashfully 'Do you have a name? Mines Pip and that is my human,' Pip points to Alan as his trainer scratched him behind his fluffy ears 'I don't live in a metal ball though' the grey chinchilla nodded appreciatively.

[Vampiretwilight]

@Alisdragon911@Zanavy@Blackmist16
Before Sarah got on her rapidash, however, she wanted to check something out. She saw an archine and knew they and their trainer had the right idea. She summoned out her persian, but not for battle of course.

"Persian? Can you help track the scent too?"

"meow..."
The persian nodded and sniffed the ground, exploring the area.

[Alisdragon911]

Faye let May the Sylveon out of her Great ball, “stay here to protect Arctozolt.” Faye said to her Sylveon and got on her Arcaine, the Arcaine quickly picks up the ring leader’s scent and quickly foullows the scent to another tent. Faye sees the ring leader up ahead her Arcaine shoots flames near the ring leader, Faye hopes it rattle the ring leader for him to drops his keys. I
