Manuel smiled as his Igglybuff was returned to him, full health. He wrapped his arms around the pink puff-ball. "Ari, I was so worried." He said as he hugged his Pokémon, then whispered into her ears. "The police are keeping a close eye on us, we've got to stay out of trouble." And after he whispered his words, he tapped his little igglybuff with a pokeball as he turned and walked out of the Pokémon center. Within the pokeball, the sky was cloudy as Igglybuff liked it. Sitting underneath a tree she relaxed while speaking to herself. "This is lame, I dunno why I am only allowed to say 'Igglybuff' in the outside world, but I guess the Pokémon universe is cruel. Atleast I can plan my havoc here in the pokeball." She said to herself as she closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep as rain pellets began to fall from the sky. Outside of the Pokémon center, Manuel looked around with a smile on his face. After having read a sign about the Poketech, he was determined to head off into the town and find the Pokémart where he could trade in his old, out-dated pokedex. "Oh, I should go off and look for an Abra too... an Abra of a Pichu would be great right now. More so an Abra, t'would be much easier to travel about." He said to himself as he wandered about, then a thought came to mind. "Where is Velum? Meh, I'm sure he'll catch up later." {{I just say that so that when Spaz gets back he'll have a chance to join the RP again ^^}} |

So...Wondering about dear Velum, are we? Have no fear, he may return...one day. When Fate and whatever else was controlling your life decided to comply, that is. He was probably off taking a snooze or something...or maybe he hadn't avoided arrest. Either way, it was none of your business now until you saw him again. After a lot of searching (Is Hurst huge or what?), you finally came upon a blue-roofed Pokémart. Upon entering, you saw that the shelves were mostly stocked with basic items and a few rare, expensive ones. Poffin and Pokeblock bins with different flavors were sitting in the farthest corner. Various advertisements and price signs covered the wood-paneled walls. As you entered through the sliding door, a small chime played, and a young man in his twenties came to the counter. He was wearing a sort of store smock, and fairly stylish glasses brought out his blue eyes. "Can I help you?" he asked kindly. A few other people were in the store, bargain-hunting and the like. Most of them appeared to be trainers, although some were regular people. One woman looked as though she were buying Repels just to keep Pokémon out of her garden, in fact. So...Ready to do what you came for? |

Manuel smiled as the man came up to the counter rather quickly. Staring into the man's eyes, Manuel answered his question; "I'd like to trade in my Pokedex for a Golden Poketech if possible." He said as he pulled out his outdated red pokedex and placed it on the counter. Waiting patiently, he began thinking; If Ari gets hurt again before we find ourselves another team member... His thoughts were pretty straight forward as he quickly pulled out his wallet and finally took notice of how much money he had actually brought. 300$... That should be enough to buy me atleast one of those potions that heal a Pokémon 25HP... He said as he pulled out two hundred and put them on the counter. "I'd also like to buy a super potion if you have them." Still inside the pokeball, Ari rested her little head against the trees. Her thoughts raced as she planned out how she would corrupt her trainer, how she would make him her minion. "When Manuel takes me out again, I swear that I'll convince him to start his own team. A team of Pokémon coordinators, bent on ruling every corner of this region. His mind is so feeble, his will so pittiful, it wouldn't be too hard to corrupt him." The igglybuff said as her eyes flashed a diabolic red while she plotted against her trainer. Ari, Manuel's thoughts were simple as he thought the name of his partner. He shrugged suddenly as chills went down his spin when he thought her name, and began planning on what he would do after this. After I finish here, Ari and I can head out and find ourselves a wild battle... I really hope to find a Psychic Pokémon... or a ghost-Pokémon... So a Ralts or a Duskull... or an Abra... or a Gastly... those will be my first four priorities. He thought, though unsure why. |

"Sure," the young man smiled, swiftly took your Pokedex, and immediately returned with a gold Poketech. "That'll be $300 in Tohean. Pay up!" WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! "Just kidding," he said, winking. "I like joking with my customers. About that Super Potion, I'm afraid that we're currently out of stock for those until the next shipment of them tomorrow. Because of that, we're running a discount on Potions. 2 for $50!" Not a bad deal, eh? Two Potions for $50...Not exactly what you were looking for, but it was quite a bargain nonetheless. As soon as you bailed out of here, you could go Pokémon hunting. And weren't some psychic Pokémon common to city life? |

Grabbing his poketech and putting it on his wrist, Manuel sighed and listened to the man as he said "Just Kidding." Ooh, I'll get him back. He said in his own mind as he, much like his Pokémon, slowly plotted the downfall of the region... one inicent bystander at a time. Soon enough, he heard the offer of two potions for 50$ and decided to take advantage of it, as he put away 50$ and held only 150$ in his hands. "I'll take six then, or if the limit is less... I'll take whatever the limit is." He said as he placed the money on the counter and looked at his Poketech. Taking a grip of Ari's pokeball with his free hand, he called out the little puff-ball to speak with her. "Ari, let's go." He said as the Pokémon appeared on his shoulder, and instantly he pointed the poketech at it to see if the functions he had heard of worked. Okay, I seriously need to get the out of here. I need to go find myself some good Psychic-Types... As I said... er... thought... before, I need to find an Abra or a Ralts, both are very good Pokémon to have. He thought to himself as he waited on his poketech and the man to give him what he needed.===========In Ari's Mind=========== Yes, my puppet. Don't think much of my now, but one day, you'll be my slave. Her thoughts were simple really, as her eyes were cold for a mere moment before she let out the cutest little squeak. "Iggly!" |

Really, this guy was just trying to play with you! You were too sensitive, but then again, you are evil. So was your Igglybuff, but you probably didn't know the capacity of how evil she was...But we're getting a little off the beaten path here. "Six will be fine," the guy said, taking the cash that you offered and reappearing with six Potions. "Here you go!" And then, noticing the cute Igglybuff on your shoulder, he added, "And nice Igglybuff. She looks well-trained. My sister used to have one." Like you really cared.... The Poketech instantly flashed a slowly revolving 3-D image of an Igglybuff before blurting out info that you probably knew by now. "Igglybuff, the Balloon Pokémon. It has a soft and bouncy body. Once it starts bouncing, it becomes impossible to stop." Then it went on to list Ari's attacks, her level, evolution information, and so forth. As you exited the store, the thing finally deactivated, having given all of the information that it possessed about Igglybuff. You were so preoccupied with your new toy that you almost ran smack into a blond boy of about twelve. With a slight "OOOF!", both of you fell smack onto the ground. "Sorry about that, Mister!" the boy said to you, standing up and apologizing. "My Ralts and I didn't see you!" How about that? The kid had a nervous-looking Ralts on his shoulder! No doubt the two had been conversing or something when they had run into you. Lv. 6Hmm...This may be a window of opportunity.... |

Manuel looked at this boy, who had a ralts, and smirked. "It's fine... though.. you did get my clothes dirty." He said, jokingly of course as his Igglybuff leapt onto his head and hugged it. Of course I'd find a ralts, and of COURSE the ralts would belong to another trainer. He thought to himself with a mental sigh as he looked at the kid and brushed himself off. Then he wondered, Is this ralts this kids starter? Or maybe he caught it... Hm... I should... he started to think, but before he could finish his thought his lips were moving and words were escaping them. "By any chance, did you happen to catch that Ralts? Or did you catch him? I've been wanting to find myself a female one... but I can't seem to find one." He said to the boy, as his Igglybuff got back up, and started balancing on one foot, acting as if his head was a ball like in the circus. Manuel, I don't know why you don't just battle this kid, and bet me for the Ralts. I could easily take that boy down. Ari thought to herself as she continued to balance like a child. "Iggly..." A cute squeak came out, followed by a childish smile, and concluded with a small giggle as she fell off Manuel's head, and into his arms. |

(( You said "...did you happen to catch that Ralts? Or did you catch him?" I think you mean did you start off with that Ralts? or did you catch him? :P )) The boy patted and rubbed the top of his Ralts’ head. “Oh, him? This little match winner was my starting Pokémon.” He smiled, as did his Ralts as it hugged the boys head. Both of them giving out a slight smile and a chuckle to each other... Disgusting huh? “I came over here from the Hoenn region a year or two ago, and I haven’t been anywhere without my Ralts, we’re best buds’.” Well, this kid was dragging on huh? Didn’t you just want to smack him in the teeth? The boy looked at your Igglybuff and smiled. “Awh, that’s a cute Pokémon you got there, where did you find that beauty? It looks so adorable and innocent.” He said smiling, rubbing the Igglybuff’s cheeks. He was still dragging on; maybe you should slug him in the face now and run with the Ralts? The idea must be in your head about now. But it’s completely up to you what you do... Well by now your Igglybuff looked bored. As did the Ralts. The boy went to speak again, oh no! “Hey, I’m not doing anything at the moment, if you’re not, how about we have ourselves a battle?” He asked, still smiling. Well, maybe this kid wasn’t that big of a nuisance after all. The choice is yours. |

Manuel looked at the guy and smirked as he rambled on, but sighed when he heard that he had started out with the Ralts. Soon enough, the boy commented his Igglybuff and he smiled. "My igglybuff was my starting Pokémon... Some man on the boat that I came on threw her overboard after calling her pathetic... and I asked another trainer if they could retrieve her. Since then, she's been my buddy." He said happily as his Igglybuff smiled in his arms. "Iggly..." The little pink puffball said as it looked at the Ralts. Com'on Manuel, you know you want to battle. This guys Ralts should only have, one, maybe two, good moves in his arsenal. She thought, her eyes turning a slightly darker red for a moment before they went back to their usual red. Manuel smiled at the boy's challenge though. "Actually... I can't really battle at the moment. My little Ari here got into a battle about an hour ago... and i don't awnt to overwork her." He said looking down at his Igglybuff, who looked back at him curiously. She already forgot, we are being tracked by Police. He thought to himself as he looked back up at the boy. "But, if you want, you can come with me while I go catch another Pokémon... I was hoping to find an Abra... I know I could easily win a match against one." He smiled, "And then you and I can have a battle." |

The boy smiled up at you and said, "Thanks, Mister. My name's Adam. Ralts and I just perfected a new move and we really want to try it out. We'll come with you." The little boy waited for you to do something, and you began to set off on a quest for the Abra. Suddenly, two sounds echoed in the alley to your right. The first was a high pitched whine that could have come from any number of creatures. The second was a huge thud that sounded like someone or something was being beaten severely. If you were to turn to the direction of the sounds, you would see a dirt covered blob that could have been anything, crawling out of the alley. A Cubone and a large man with a stick followed after it. Noticing you and Adam watching him, he said, "Both of you say nothing if you don't want to get hurt. OK?" If you looked really hard, that thing might have been an Abra, but who knows? Whatever it was, were you going to save it or leave it alone? |

If there was one thing that made Manuel angrier then being accused for something he didn't do, it was seeing humans mistreat Pokémon. He turned to Ari, and remembered how he had come to find her, how she had been tossed off of the boat that brought him to the region. With sheer anger in his eyes, fury in his steps, and wrath clouding up his better judgement he darted after the man angrily, Ari clinging onto his shoulder for dear life as he ran. "GET YOU @$$ BACK HERE!" Manuel called after the man, and once he caught up he swung his arm outwards, powerfully, aiming to strike the man straight across the face. $#!&, we are still being followed by police! He thought after he swung, but at the moment he didn't care as all he wanted was to protect the Pokémon that was being beaten. |

Well, you're certainly mad. That man probably didn't want a kid like you coming after him. He definitely seemed to know what he wanted and you weren't in his plans. As you screamed at him, he turned to see you rushing at him. He shook his head in dismay. "I hate to hurt things that actually can feel pain. But, if you want it." He grabbed your arm in his large hand and raised the stick above his head. "You sure you want to stay here, kid?" he asked, menacingly. Ari, on the other hand, was barreling through the air towards the Cubone rolled up in a ball. Cubone seemed to smile as he thought to himself, Maybe I can play that game called baseball that Master told me about. He didn't count on Adam and Ralts to come into play though. On Adam's command, Ralts sent out a Confusion attack towards the Cubone. The disorienting feeling hit Cubone just as Ari closed in. She hit Cubone straight in the stomach and jumped off. She huffed in approval. Now what? Level 8 ![]() 29/41 95%VS. Level 6 ![]() 37/37 92% Level 6 ![]() 37/37 93%[defense +1] |

"Ari, Rock-a-by-Baby!" Manuel ordered, knowing that his Igglybuff would be able to understand his commands. He felt his hand being caught, and smirked he tucked downwards, and brought his foot down for a sweep-kick, as to knock the man onto his back, and hopefully get the stick out of his hand. Even if the sweep kick wouldn't work, the movement allowed Manuel to rapidly push himself up, and to move back beside Adam. "Adam, thanks for the help." He said happily, but then got serious once more, "I need to borrow Ralts for a sec." He said, hoping that Adam would instruct Ralts to listen to him. "Ralts, quickly, cover your ears." Manuel ordered as he looked at Adam, "You too." With that, his Igglybuff knew what she had to do and began using her sing attack, singing the "Rock-a-by-baby" song in her own little Pokémon language. "Rock a by baby..." --> "Iggly Ig Igg-ly" "In the tree top..." --> "Ig ig Iggy." "When the wind blows..." --> "Ig Ly Ig Ig" "The cradle will rock..." ---> "Igg Iggly Igglybuff.." |

The man leaned back and narrowly dodged the sweep kick before jeering at you. "Is that the best you can do, punk? Boy, you really don't know when to quit, do you?" Smirking, he ordered, "Cubone, use Tackle, and then Tail Whip to lower that puffball's defense!" Sadly, big guy's orders came too late. Ari's "song" was causing everyone who wasn't smart enough to cover their ears (including the Abra) to fall asleep. Instantly, the big man lightly dropped to the ground (surprisingly) and started snoring, drool sliding out of his mouth. (Ew...) The Cubone likewise started sleeping, and as it inhaled and exhaled, a bubble could be seen coordinating with the ground type's breathing. Sadly, this also caused the abused Abra to slump over and sleep. So...Two against one, and you already had your opponent where you wanted him, right? WRONG! Suddenly, from the man's pocket, a Pokeball rolled out and activated itself. Instantly, a Whismur appeared, glaring at you and Adam and looking very angry. How DARE you attack her trainer?! Mind you, she had Soundproof, so she wasn't affected by Sing. The Whismur inhaled deeply until...A horrible sound filled your ears, waking up all of your sleeping adversaries by its horrible noise. Sadly, it was so disturbing that Adam hadn't had any time to think up a move, and his Ralts was too distracted to even think of performing one. In fact, if you were smart, you'd be covering your ears by now. So...The stakes have changed, no? Level 8 ![]() 29/41 92% Level 6 ![]() 37/37 90%VS. Level 6 ![]() 32/37 88% Level 6 ![]() 32/37 86%

Not paying much attention to the noise that the Whismur was releasing -he was used to listening to singing and loud noise from Ari's attack- Manuel clenched his teeth and tried to come up with a plan. Dammit, it HAD to be a Whismur. Just HAD to. Manuel thought to himself angrily as he now how to come up with an alternative strategy. The only other attacks she has are... Charm... Defense Curl... That one accidental Rapid Spin... and... Perish Song. He thought, then turned over to Adam, who obviously wasn't very good at thinking on his feet. Ralts... at a low level... only know Growl and Confusion. I wonder if Adam would mind me telling Ralts what to do. Manuel looked down at Ralts, and gulped as he spoke. "Ralts, I know I'm not your trainer. But I need your help, do you think you can help me in this battle?" He asked, then turned to Adam to see if he would mind, "Do you mind if I control Ralts, just for this match?" He asked, as he had already started devising a plan. Once the noise passed, Manuel started giving off commands as quickly as he could. "Ari, use defense curl to heighten your defenses some more." Then I want you to implant yourself into the ground, and use agility to spin like a wheel, gather up as many dirt and pebbles into your skin as you possibly can. Then, when you are done, I want you to hurry and roll out towards Whismur, try to knock her into one of the nearby walls." His commands to her were a bit strange, but if they worked properly, she'd be able to use the Roll Out attack, or atleast, to an extent. He then turned to Ralts, hoping that the Pokémon would agree to helping him, and gulped once more. "Ralts, since your growl attack is a sound-move, that wont effect anyone right now, so I want you to use confusion to take hold of that Cubone's club, and fling it away, I know that Cubone are attached to their bones, and if it's missing, they wont continue without them." He said, knowing that Cubone were also dog-like Pokémon, and that their bones came from the bodies of their deceased mothers, they were held close. "Then, once the Cubone is distracted, I want you to use confusion on Whismur." His commands were completed as he turned back to Adam. "Adam, does Ralts know any attacks besides Growl and Confusion? Maybe an egg move?" He asked, hoping for a yes as he knew that most, if not all, of Ralts' egg moves were pretty useful. Though, out of the 8 possible egg moves he knew of Ralts, he hoped for Will-o-wisp, Shadow Sneak, Confuse Ray, or Disable. |
