Hex watched as the force of vicious water types were beginning to get beaten back into the sea. The Magikarp was ranting on and on, giving a headache to some of the water types. General Goom and Spruce were working on knocking out as much as they could. Celes was leaping between the enemies, dazing them and then disabling them. With all of them coming after the Mudkip, he didn't stand a chance. The Emolga was tied up in the corner, so Hex decided to make that her main priority. In all the chaos and disorder, the Emolga was still in the corner, silent.

"Hey." Hex fluttered down by the Emolga, who was still trying to get away, squirming down the cavern. "We'll get you out of these. I just need something sharp." Unfortunately, Hex wasn't the best at calming pokemon down. The Emolga was breathing rapidly, appearing to be in a state of extreme stress. She didn't respond to Hex. "Okaayy then." Hex said, looking at the Emolga. The Mudkip was currently trying to make his way over, so she needed to hurry. She looked around for something to get her out of the ropes with. Not much to work with. She doubted any of the other pokemon could really snap the tightly binding ropes.

Maybe M or the Magikarp could burn the ropes, but she doubted that they'd be able to do it without hurting the hostage. Spruce, Celes, Anthony, and Josh probably couldn't do it, considering that the only one with hands was Spruce, and he didn't seem to be great with them, mostly using his vines. Maybe Matt could pull them apart, or untie her, but the Reuniclus seemed to have three, large gooey fingers, and she doubted that they would be great for untying such tightly knotted ropes. Hex looked around. Several shards of rock were scattered about the cave floor.

"Augh! Clauncher!" Hex choked out, a Clauncher's claw ensnaring the Combee tightly. It hardened it's grip, and Hex could feel it whittling away at her. She flew into the air, spiraling out of control, and finally threw the Clauncher off of her. It landed on the hard cave wall, and upon hitting it, the shell made a loud, metal clanging noise. After shaking off it's momentary confusion, the pokemon aimed a large blue claw at Hex, and a strong flow of water spurted from it's claw, dousing the Combee. "Clauncher. I really, really hate Clauncher." She muttered to herself, shaking off the water. Hex threw the pre-prepared gust at the Clauncher. It flew on it's back and began spinning out of control like a renegade top, bouncing off the walls of the cave like a ball in a pinball machine. It slammed hard into a rock, finally ending it's spin. The Clauncher lay on it's back, dazed and disabled.

"That's it for him." Hex said, looking at the confused Clauncher. She turned to the rest of the pokemon. Celes was quickly taking out most of the wild pokemon around her, dazing them and then damaging them. Hex gusted at some of the starstruck water types, in an attempt to help some of them. Hopefully, after completing the mission and defeating the wild pokemon, she'd level up a level or two. That would certainly help, and add a bit of variety to her moveset other than Gust and Sweet Scent- Sweet Scent. She hadn't used that yet. Hex closed her eyes, and concentrated. A sweet, sticky aroma filled the battlefield, and several water types inhaled. They became slightly drowsy, and tripped on their own feet. They were less likely to dodge attacks now, which should help some of the others. Right now, she seemed like more of the support to the fighters.

"Wow. I think that might've been a bit overkill." Hex commented, watching as everyone decimated the poor, dopey pokemon. After Spruce ngetotiated with General Goomy, Hex followed the group, fluttering upward. The Goomy seemed reluctant, but hopefully he should keep to his word and lead them to the Mudkip and Emolga. With all of them coming after the outlaw, he wouldn't stand a chance. The Goomy began to lead them into a colder, damp cav. Jagged stalagmites dripped water onto the rugged stone floor with a plink sound that echoed throughout the cavern. It was mostly quiet if you excluded the occasional whisper between pokemon or the chittering of a wild pokemon. Her wings began to flutter up a gust, preparing herself for the encounter. Mudkip were usually wild little things. Most of the mudkip she had met before were a bit unstable, muttering to themselves about how the world was some giant simulation and we were just pawns. Not the best pokemon to have as an outlaw.

The Goomy was painfully slow. As he chugged upward, slowly dragging himself through the cave, she noticed the ghost of a smile playing on it's face. It probably thought the Mudkip would easily overpower the explorers, or just escape with the hostage. She couldn't tell for sure. Hex began to flutter her wings rapidly, preparing a gust in case the Goomy attempted to betray them or the Mudkip ambush them. As Hex continued upward, she noticed Matt and Josh had joined the group. Luckily, they'd survived the shock. Josh had a couple of visible charred marks on him from the electricity, but otherwise he looked good as new. "Hey," Hex said, fluttering by Josh. "That M is pretty strong, right?"

"Ha.. ha.. heyyy there missus," General Goomy said, his voice slurred and his beady black eyes rolling about deliriously. "You wanna.. dinner sometime?" The boisterous Goomy slumped over, his odd gooey body hitting the damp, cold floor. He lied flat on his back, just staring into space. The general surprise from the Baby-Doll eyes and the Confusion sent it reeling. Now all it needed was to be finished off.

Hex flew down by Spruce and Celes, seeing her chance. "Goomy." She muttered to herself, as if she reading out of a book. "Naturally dopey. Can be surprisingly strong when agitated or trained properly." Hex fluttered her wings rapidly, the winds swirling about the crystalline insect wings. After a moment of readying it, she released the storm of winds on the Goomy. While "storm of winds" might be a bit of an exaggeration, it did it's job on the already half-dead Goomy, who was sent flying.

"H-Hey! You know there are other pokemon in the water, right?!" Hex demanded, glaring at the Magnemite. "Pokemon beside the wild ones?! My teammates? Your teammates?" Hex began to flutter down, but immediately pulled upward upon seeing the water sparkling and crackling a blinding white. Most of the fried wild pokemon were either swept away or sinking to the bottom. She scanned the foaming waters, looking for any sign of Josh. The thundershock would deal a fair chunk of damage to him. Maybe not quite as much for the Eevee and Snivy if they were caught up in it, but for a water type like Josh, it could really injure the Skrelp. The Magikarp looked mostly undaunted, though; he was rambling on about being the strongest member of his race. Maybe he wanted to conquer the towns and ravage the dungeons? Burning the whole place to the ground? Something along those lines.

Hex hurriedly fluttered over to the remaining chunks and strips of land left untouched by the quickly rising sea to take a break. Hopefully, Josh was alright. He could probably make his way out of being charred to a crisp, right? 'course he could. She slowly drifted down, her wings, shuttering to a stop, and took a couple of shaky deep breaths. Wasn't at all what she was expecting from being free. Hex was honestly hoping for some sunshine, some trees, no work or stress. Not freezing cold, electric waters, the constant worry of being under attack, or the quickly rising threat of drowning. She quickly flew back up, buzzing and ready. She readied her wings for a gust, scanning the sea for anything to attack. But it looked like a good bit of the wild pokemon had just been wiped out by the thundershock.

Hex turned to the Eevee, flying above the salty. raging waters. "We took the kidnap mission. Some Emolga got itself trapped in here." Hex replied, glancing between the new pokemon. "Can't really take out an outlaw right now. Maybe Matt." She turned to the large, translucent psychic ball of goo, who was watching Josh swim about in the furious waters in ecstasy. He seemed to be familiarizing himself with some of the wild pokemon, too. Several more pokemon were washed up onto the shore, scuttling about. Looked like more were coming. Hex lowered herself, so she just fluttered above Josh. "I think more pokemon are coming. We need to hurry, before they swarm us." She said, looking at Josh. Several more Omanyte began to emerge from the waters, and one actually attempted to leap at Hex, who then gusted him back into the waters. "Yup, we really need to hurry! It's either the water drowns us or the pokemon get us." She said, pulling herself out before an Omanyte could latch onto her.

Hex glanced at the Magnemite. "Name's Hex. I'm from Birchwood. Just joined the guild, so yeah, a guild member." She tried to talk while gusting away the other attacking pokemon, but it was a tad more difficult than she thought. Her wings worked hard to stir up enough wind in the underground cavern in order to gust, but it was getting fainter and fainter each time. "C'mon.. c'mon.. whatever! Whatever! I'm done! We need to go!" Hex said, gusting away yet another Omanyte. It's long, damp tentacle latched around her wing for about a second before it slipped off back into the waters. "I think we really need to go before we get dragged under by these things." She commented, fluttering around and gusting off any oncoming pokemon attacks.

If we could attract a couple more people to the RP somehow, or maybe snatch up some other people from the Minecraft Forums, it would be a lot more active. Maybe I could just spin a sign with the RP's name on it and attract some other people.

A whole forum dedicated to RPing is probably going to be a dash more popular then a single section meant for RPing.

Hex began to flutter her wings rapidly, using Gust. The Smoke Screen was thick and heavy, and the gust was pushing it deeper into the cave to cover up more pokemon. However, her move was interrupted by an oncoming wave, which swept the two wild pokemon away along with the fainted Shellos. Along with the new wave came even more pokemon, including a couple of Kabuto who scuttled away in fright.

"Huh. We might need to hurry. Eventually, the whole cave could be filled up." Hex said, looking down at the rapidly growing white foam. "If the water gets high enough, we could probably let Josh free."

Hex began to flutter down the cave once again, wary of any new pokemon. Looked like it was mainly water types; so far, she had seen an Omanyte, a Kabuto, some Shellos, and she spotted a Magikarp. It's scales were a dark, robust red, and the "crown" of it was blue. Not quite your average Magikarp. Beside it looked like a couple of.. explorers? She was pretty sure Snivy, Eevee, and Magnemite weren't all too common in Beach Cave. She glanced behind her, at Josh and Matt. "I think I found some other explorers." She said. "Looks like they're trying to get across with the Eevee and Snivy."

Edited my post, sorry 'bout that. Archie's a bit more serious and accepting and Arnold's a bit more rambling and crazy.
