[IC] Pokemon: Elemental Legends

[manapool1]

Seemingly turning into a statue the glass eyes glared down at abel with no real touch to the, a sudden burst of energy flung from the masked man as he scooped a pokeball and with lightening speed the thick black cape swiveles in the background as the left foot fell behind. "A match would be invoicing to me, so I accept" Hakobo mummbles in a foreboading manor. Still he was distressed that his name was not known.

@manapool1

Bouncing backwards on his toes, Abel plucked a marble sized Pokeball from a pouch on his belt. Clicking the object to full size he grinned challengingly. "Glad to hear it." With a nod, Abel's face turned serious, his finger poised to release his partner at any moment. "One pokemon, no switching out. First pokemon to faint loses, a withdrawal counts as a loss and the winner pays for lunch. Sound fair?" Having lost quite a few battles in his short time, Abel liked to treat those he beat to food to boost their spirits. That and if he lost he still technically won.

@WeepingLiberty

Without responding the enigma of a man tosses his pokeball at full force and as a Oddish withdrew his worst fears were colluded. Dropping to the ground Hakobo fumbles with the pokeball only to drop it. "wait, I don't want to use him, please let me pick another this guy'll get demolished!" he pleads as his oddish looks back in distress. Hugging he finally wipes his finally lets the cute pokemon from his vice like grip and stands sturdy.

Abel hesitated, staring down at the nervous Oddish with kind eyes. A small chuckle escaping his throat, Abel shook his head at the man. "How is your Oddish supposed to become any stronger if you switch him out when things look tough?" Clicking his own Pokeball to marble size, he switched his pokemon to one that would help even out the playing field. "I'd be honored to help train the little guy." He said with a bow before tossing the new selection into the air, watching Misha the Zorua emerge from the light. Catching the empty ball, Abel tucked it away and glanced fiercely at the strange man. "I won't take it easy on you but I won't cheat to win either. You may make the first move."

Letting out a sigh the anxious pokemon makes a weak and tight fighting stance. The pokemon she was facing was much bigger. His niche as a two way halfway healer was out of the picture. The zoura was most likely bigger than the runt of a grass type. Hakobo wiped away a tear that somehow made it's way onto his helm."he's right ceres, you've grown since we first met and you must fight more to get stronger" he preached with a broad stance before pointing dramatically and shouting!"now! Use your magificent MegaDrain!"

Excited by his opponent's enthusiasm, Abel grinned and nodded his encouragement to his partner. "You've got this buddy." Misha turned and grinned at his trainer, turning to face the tiny Oddish. "Misha, use Fake Tears." Abel instructed, watching as the small fox buried his face in his paws and cried out. His hope was to fluster the poor Oddish, keep it from draining Misha or at least bring the pokemon close enough to pound into the ground.

As the oddish prepared to take the energy from his foe, it oddly begins to cry before she even managed an attack! Having no rebuttal it stopped it's own move in confusion and casually looked to the trainer who was busy face palming. "Come on now, he's not really crying, it's a hoax, he's a quack" he Blatantly retorted to the blank expression of his pokemon, who now set it's adorable stance. "look, just use your charm attack please?" He asked politely as his oddish nodded. Spinning into a trip to the ground it's attack failed and Hakobo only grew more angry. "I suppose this will be a short battle..." He dully muttered to himself.

While pleased that his tactic had worked, Abel hadn't expected it to work so well, watching the poor thing trip over itself. "Umm..." Abel hesitated, feeling sort of sorry for the guy. You won't help it learn by backing down. Just go for it. Clearing his throat, Abel pointed toward the stumbling Oddish. "Now, use Fury Swipes." Ears perking up, Misha hopped up and leapt toward the Oddish, claws at the ready.

Lasair had been excited to see his a friend of his friend Professor Rowan, where they had exchanged stories about their mutual friend Blaine. And he was so serious about winning that bet that I had physically stop him from eating that lava! BWahahahaha! Professor Rowan was rocking back and forth slapping his knee from that story. After he had managed to compose himself he thanked Lasair for brining the parcel to him and in return he gave Lasair a pokedex. Oh my god Professor this is totally awesome, thank you so much! After the professor gave him the pokedex Lasair popped all four of his pokemon out and input their data into it. Thank you again for the pokedex and the laughs Professor but I should get started on my new journey! They shook hands and Lasair exited the Pokemon Research lab and to his delightment he had spotted two trainers battling a little distance aways! He rushed over to the battle which he was greatful for so that Growlithe could watch a couple more battles. Lasair decided to pick him up so that they could both observe the battle. He popped open his pokedex and entered both pokemon which are Oddish and Zorua.

As the pokemon neared, the oddish panicked and used the move toxic. Hakobo had given his pokemon this move, all of them, and his oddish was basically set up with moves thanks to an additional tm called venoshock. Suprised as the oddish scuttled to get up and attempts to look tough.

Not expecting the Oddish to pull itself together Misha found himself unable to avoid the poisonous attack. Coughing and shaking his head, the Zorua bounced back and growled menacingly at his opponent. "That's good, the little guy has some fight in 'em." Abel grinned approvingly. "Alright Misha, show them what you've got. Use Night Daze." Misha nodded confidently, knowing that he was racing the clock at this point.

[manapool1]

Not having time to see the hit before it would come, the poof ball with green tufts fell to the ground and rolled over to his face back out. Hakobo placed his hands on were someone's mouth would be. "Like a blossoming rose, you must grow your thorns!" He shouted to his pokemon, who stood after these words. Now swaying left and right it was having a hard time seeing. "Try venoshock, we just need one h- um, Ceres? Ceres?!" He shouted only to see it wobble, it's large purple spike missing clearly, into the small crowd.

Abel paused, a look of concern crossing his face. He hoped he hadn't seriously hurt the little guy, but he knew he could back down just yet. "Sorry little buddy." He mumbled as he sucked in a large breath. "Alright Misha, time to end this with Fury Swipes." The Zorua nodded, a look of determination crossing its features. Front paws outstretched, the dark fox charged forward toward his unbalanced opponent, feeling as sorry for the little critter as Abel was.

[manapool1]

Hakobo let out a happy sigh as his last resort plan may just work, as the fury attack was about to his oddish, he shouted his next attack. "Megadrain" he boistered. If it hit he may just have enough health to pull though, but otherwise he would be dead.

[WeepingLiberty]

Misha stopped short of the Oddish, grimacing as his energy left him in tiny orbs of light. The sudden loss of energy left the Zorua stunned, shaking his head to clear his blurred vision. "It's just a minor set back, stick to the plan. Continue with your Fury Swipes." Angry at having been tricked by the opponent's trainer, Zorua lashed out at the round ball.

[manapool1]

With all the damage she had healed and just a select bit more, the oddish fell helpless to the attack, and at the end she was on the ground, stationary and dazed into submission. Hakobo sighed, he had been beaten. Rushing the the oddish, the plague doctor caressed his pokemon. "You fougt hard.... good enough I guess" he spoke softly to it before closing the ball onto it. "I suppose we owe you dinner"

[WeepingLiberty]

Abel chuckled and shook his head. "I'm picking up the tab this time. The least I could do after putting that poor Oddish through something so tough" He knelt down and pet the victorious Zorua's head before returning the pokemon to his pokeball. Tucking the object away, Abel nodded his head in the direction of food, just noticing his own growling stomach.

@WeepingLiberty

A sigh of releif as he was spared from explaining his vagabond state of the moment. He hadn't brought much money to the island. He was used to being able to demolish those he fought with the weezing he had befreinded long ago for cash. But his oddish lacked the skills. "I thank you young man, perhaps ceres will talk to you. She's a shy young one after all"

"With a trainer like you by her side, I'm sure she'll grow nice and strong." Abel nodded encouragingly, motioning for the man to enter the shop ahead of him. "I've only met your Oddish, but I could tell just by looking at you that you'd be an opponent worth meeting. If you don't mind me asking, what brings you to the region? You seemed a little disappointed when I told you I wasn't familiar with your name, that means you're working toward something you want remembered right?" One's first guess would be fame as a world class trainer, however the battle with the Oddish was enough to debunk that theory. Abel was certain it was something else, but he'd have to wait to see how much this man was willing to share about himself.

[manapool1]

Stoically swaggering behind hand of the victor, slightly sulked do to his failure but still clearly proud he engulfed every word given to him. Hakobo was happy that such a strong opponent would be willing to mutually share welcoming compliments. "You zorua isn't exactly a sufaluform as it is either, I presume that such a remarkable specimen and even more accomplished trainer as you will grow strong with one another!" He retorted cheerfully to the compliments at hand before the question of his cause for wishing to have his name known. Letting out a sigh, he realized it was about time to tell another soul. "I wish to be known in order help the wonderful poison types of the world. Long has the purple shade been seen as a simple addition to the move roster, but I hope that with perseverance, I, hakobo, will show the power of the lingering poisons of pokemon!" He preaches loudly.

Andi followed the boy behind the Pokemon Center. Admittedly, being in a new area was a bit of an unintentional kill-buzz to her ego and she definitely felt that she could not underestimate this boy. Especially after he sent out Honedge and Metang, she knew that most of her moves would prove to be ineffective. But it's not like he would do much better, right? "Heracross, I choose you!" She called as a Pokeball was tossed onto the center of the square, a blue beetle materializing as the Pokeball flew back and landed in her hand. "Okay, and you too, Lucario," she remarked as the blue wolf-like creature stepped forward as well. What would work on these two? Hmm. "Lucario, use Shadow Ball on the Honedge. Heracross...uhm..use Bug Bite on the Metang!" What type was a Metang again? She couldn't remember for the life of her. And with those two commands ushered, the battle was under way as the Lucario began to charge a ball of black essence followed by the Heracross flying across and attempting to swoop down and take a chunk out of the Metang. That oughta hurt.

"Not really. Was just curious," Ross responded as he watched as the girl's Pokemon run off into a nearby forest with slight interest, "Are they going to be safe out there? I've been hearing rumors about Sinnoh lately. Like Pokemon snatchers, y'know, the usual in this day and age?"

@manapool1

Abel nodded, mostly sure that he understood what the man was talking about. "Interesting how much in common two strangers can have. Personally I am more drawn to dark type pokemon, but both have bad reputations." Taking a gulp of water, Abel looked at the man with curiosity. "Hakobo you said? I'll be sure to remember it, that is if you can promise me another battle someday. One between our strongest pokemon partners." Abel grinned, a fire alight in his eyes.
