[IC] Pokemon: Indigo League IC

[bowtiesrcool86]

The ten minutes soon came. Liam stated that they should probably check into the Pokemon center, maybe Nurse Joy has parkas to use for going into the icy caves.

[James Davy]

"I agree," replied Shiranui, deducing from Liam's statement that the Seafoam Island caves were a habitat for Ice-type Pokémon, "Perhaps we can find some more Pokémon to catch."

[bowtiesrcool86]

When they go to center, Nurse Joy was more then happy to loan them parkas. She also advised stocking up on Dusk Balls if they are going into the caves to look for Pokemon.

[James Davy]

"Will do," replied Shiranui, buying some Dusk Balls just in case.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam got some as well before they went to the cave.

[James Davy]

When Shiranui entered the cave he was glad he got the parka as he felt the temperature shoot down.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam found a pointy headed pokemon that looked like it was shivering.

Snorunt, the Snow Hat Pokemon. It is said that several Snorunt gather under giant leaves and live together in harmony. In the snow country, certain folklore says a house will prosper if a Snorunt lives there.

Liam decided he should try and catch it. He pulled out a Safari Ball and out came Chansey.
"Double Slap!" Liam called. It hit four times. The Snorunt used Powder Snow.
"Power up Punch!" Liam called. Chansey scored a good hit on the Snorunt, who retaliated with Bite.
"Power up Punch again!" Liam called. Once more, Chansey got a clean hit. Snorunt used Powder Snow again.. Liam threw a Dusk Ball and caught the Snorunt.

[James Davy]

Shiranui didn't have much luck finding any Pokémon he would catch, but he did find a marble-like stone that looked like Titania's Gardevoirite, but cream with purple highlights—a Kangaskhanite.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"I wonder how that wound up here." Liam thought aloud. A couple of Zubat dive bombed Shiranui. Chansey, who was still out of her ball saw them and fired Hyper Beam. The Zubat began to scream.
"That's not a good sign." Liam said half concerned. He heard the flapping of wings. A horde of Zubat, mixed with a few Golbat and led by a single Crobat were charging toward them.
"Sherlock! Grimm!" Liam called. The shiny Alakazam and normal Duskull emerged. Liam activated his keystone to make Sherlock mega evolve. He directed all three of his pokemon to start firing Shadow Balls at them.

[James Davy]

"Need some help?" asked Shiranui, watching the battle.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Maybe a little." Liam said.

[James Davy]

"Iroha, Yamamoto, help us out!" Shiranui's Kangaskhan and Pupitar came out. "Iroha, catch; Yamamoto, Rock Slide!" While the Pupitar slammed the ground and caused a cave-in to fall on the bats, Shiranui threw his Kangaskhanite at Iroha and the Kangaskhan caught it. "Iroha, Rock Slide! Mega Ring activate!" Shiranui touched his Mega Ring and Iroha had evolved to a Mega Kangaskhan. The baby jumped out and both mother and child added their own attacks to the cave-in.

[bowtiesrcool86]

When the rubble cleared, only one Golbat and the Crobat leader remained. Now that they weren't being swarmed, Liam pulled out his pokedex.

"Golbat, the Bat Pokemon, and Zubat's evolved form. It flies at night in search of prey. Once it bites, it will not stop draining energy from the victim even if it gets too heavy to fly." Liam had Sherlock and Grimm both fire a Shadow Ball at each of them. Golbat was KO'd but Crobat was barely holding on. Liam tossed a Dusk Ball and caught Crobat. He had Chansey use Heal Pulse to aid in healing everyone up. With that and some potions, some of which were used on her, Liam's team was back to 100%

[James Davy]

Shiranui thanked Liam for healing his Pokémon and spotted a pitfall. "Whoa!" he exclaimed, "That's dangerous."

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Yeah, looks like we have to watch where we step." Liam commented. He saw a hole in the wall, leading further into the cave. Liam could not believe that the air at that hole was even colder then where they currently were.

[James Davy]

"Do you get the feeling a powerful ice Pokémon is causing this chill?" asked Shiranui.

[bowtiesrcool86]

"Yes, I believe it is." Liam said. He stepped into the area. He saw something standing in there grooming itself. It was a giant blue bird.
"Mother of Clamperal!" Liam thought to himself as he reached for his Pokedex.
"Articuno, the Freeze Pokemon. A legendary bird Pokémon that is said to appear to doomed people who are lost in icy mountains.. It can create blizzards by freezing moisture in the air."

Liam called on Arcanine, who was instructed to use Fire Blast. Articuno was hit and retaliated with an Ice Beam. Arcanine was hit and instructed to use Flame Wheel. That hit and Articuno Pecked. Arcanine gave Articuno a Fire Blast at point blank, and Articuno used Blizzard. The battle kept on like this for several minutes until Liam threw a Dusk ball. Articuno stayed in briefly before escaping and used Blizzard again, KO'ing Arcanine. Liam sent Grimm out next who used Will O' Wisp. Articuno froze Grimm with Ice Beam and was hurt by the burn. Liam tossed another Dusk Ball. The ball wiggled for quite a while before ding'ing to signify a successful capture. Liam stood there dumbstruck for a moment. "Did I?....Did I just capture a legendary Pokemon?"

[James Davy]

"I believe you just did," answered Shiranui, feeling just as dumbfounded.

[bowtiesrcool86]

Liam cheered as he grabbed the Dusk Ball. "Should we head back to the Pokemon Center?"

[James Davy]

"I think we should," answered Shiranui.
