"I'd like to," Belle answered, blushing slightly. "But I need to help out in here. You see, one of the Nurse Joys is my mom." Looking shocked, she laughed a little. "We only look alike as a front. We grow our hair a certain way, and usually die it the calm pink that you're used to. Yet, all Nurse Joys are unique."

With that, she left your presence, and you were left wondering if she really liked you. If it went both ways, you could always drop by and see her again...But now, didn't you say you needed some fresh air? It was pretty stuffy in here, even though the air conditioning was going full blast. Not to mention that it was also pretty packed with people and Pokémon.

Anyway, you exited the P.C. for the full-blown outside world. The sun was shining, the bird Pokémon were singing, and the sounds of a busy street met your ears. Oh, and dare I mention the screams of a woman as a certain little Raccoon made off with her purse?

:zigzagoon :male Lv. 8

Whatever this little guy was in this for, he was zig-zagging through the crowd at top speed while the woman chased after him. "Give me my purse!" she kept screaming at it. Obviously, the little scamp was ignoring her.

So...Going to set this situation right?

Jake stepped out into the brisk wind of the outside world and inhaled deeply. The fresh air felt great in his lungs rather than the stuffy and crowded air inside the building. Belle had gone to find her mother. She shouldn't be too long, there weren't that many Nurse Joys allocated to a Pokécenter, were they? Even so, Jake would wait for a bit.

Suddenly a woman ran after a wild zigzagoon whom seemed to have stolen her purse. It seemed to be able to dodge and evade the passing crowds legs with ease and little difficulty. The woman didn't seem to be able to have any luck in trying to catch up with it, and Jake certainly didn't want to let the Pokémon get away.

Jake thrust the red orb from his belt into the air where a deep aura of white light appeared and within a few seconds, Lotad was standing in front of Jake. Happy to be out of his pokeball and to see Jake he began jumping up and down, this was cut short as Jake immediately commanded an attack. "Lotad use a Razor Leaf on that Zigzagoon!"

Finally stopping long enough to catch her breath, the woman had lost sight of the Zigzagoon. Your Lotad, however, had a lot more luck. Throwing some sharp leaves in front of the Zigzagoon stopped it short, and the lily pad Pokémon flung the rest of its leaves at the stunned Zigzagoon.

"Goon!" it growled, turning towards your Pokémon with the purse still in his mouth. Using the full potential force of the purse, Zigzagoon swung the bag at your Lotad while still keeping a hold of the handles. Then, while your Lotad was stunned by the blow, the Zigzagoon moved in with a Tackle and sent Lotad back a few feet. Yet, your Pokémon was still standing.

The commotion that you were causing attracted the woman. "Quick, get my purse!" she commanded, wringing her hands in worry. A nice thank-you would've sufficed...but that could wait until later, right?

Jake looked at the woman. Obviously the only reason he was fighting this Zigzagoon was to pass the time. He evidently had no intention of getting the purse back for the woman now did he? Oh wait, this Zigzagoon had a purse on it! Who'd have thought huh? Wonder who that belonged to. Jake shook his head, ignorance must have been bliss.

The Zigzagoon was much more stronger than Lotad but by chance Lotad might be able to pull it off. He had surprised him in the last battle by pulling off a win with health to spare, but the circumstances of this battle was of a greater magnitude. Zigzagoon was 2 levels higher and Lotad only managed to take out Ralts because it was 1 level higher and had a type advantage. It didn't inspire much confidence. But Lotad would feel worried if Jake was and therefore trusted him.

"Lotad I want you to use a Razor leaf while running towards Zigzagoon, then while he is focused on the leaves, snatch away the purse from him okay?" Jake said to his lily Pokémon and clutching his egg close to his heart for fear of loosing it. "Then if he tries to attack then shroud yourself in leaves like you did in the last battle okay?"

What on earth would possess a Pokémon to steal. A Pokémon was only as good or bad as it's trainer. Jake then began to laugh. Zigzagoon's ability was Pickup. Perhaps the woman had dropped her purse and Zigzagoon had taken it for thinking it was rightfully his. Oh well, it couldn't be helped, but the purse was not his.

The Zigzagoon narrowed his eyes. No way that you were about to steal his newly found possession. He wouldn't allow it. In truth, it appeared as though the Zigzagoon had been abandoned, and it had probably used its Pick Up ability to get the purse and search it for food. Growling, it narrowed its eyes as it saw the leaves heading for it.

Jumping out of the road of the leaves, your Lotad ran up and pulled at one purse strap, dislodging it from the coon's mouth. Zigzagoon realized what was happening; growling back, it ignored the remaining leaves that sliced its body and pulled at the other purse strap. If this kept up, the purse would be torn in two. Neither Pokémon was going to give up this little game of Tug-of-War easily.

Snorting, the Zigzagoon tried to ward off your Lotad by halfway flipping his body around and using Tail Whip. The tail stung, but Lotad kept off the brunt of it by summoning more leaves to cover himself...literally. Yet, Zigzagoon didn't seem keen on doing anything else...Still, you had to get the purse away from it.

"Listen to the nice boy and give me my purse, you perverted Zigzagoon!" the woman yelled at it angrily; her plea fell on the Zigzagoon's deaf ears. Such a nice, high-standing lady. Still, if you play it nice with her, maybe she'll reward you? First, though, you have to beat down this annoying raccoon.

Jake looked at the Zigzagoon whom was holding on to the bag and showing no sign of giving up the bag or weakness at all. But Jake just couldn't get over how idiotic this woman was, "Nice Boy?" And since was stealing a handbag perversion? Wasn't it usually classified as theft? Despite wanting to study more about the behaviour and adaptations of Pokémon, he knew that much.

Although at the same time, it seemed that Lotad wasn't going to give up the bag easily though. The leaves that he had shot at Zigzagoon were merely shrugged off by the raccoon Pokémon as if they had barely cut his fur that now Jake looked at it in more detail was slightly dirty and unkempt. Maybe this was a wild Zigzagoon then?

Jake looked at the handbag in slightly more detail whilst his Lotad was struggling to keep hold of the bag. It looked like it could be cut, but looks could always be deceiving with Jake's story. Never the less it definitely was worth a try. And if the woman was angry at Jake for bringing back her bag with a tear? Sue me!

"Okay Lotad that was an excellent round," Jake called to his Pokémon who seemed to be having to struggle more and more to keep the bag at an even distance. "I want you to use a razor leaf on Zigzagoon and then a rapid one again on the handle that Zigzagoon is holding." "Then quickly bring me back the bag." "Once you've handed over the bag then home in on Zigzagoon with a tackle." Jake was pretty sure that this was an attack that all Pokémon learnt naturally.

Bracing itself for even more pain, the Zigzagoon still showed no signs of letting go. Yet, even as Lotad used a slower Razor Leaf as a distraction, the raccoon wouldn't back down. For some idiotic reason, it was going to keep a firm hold on this purse 'til the bitter end.

Yet, it hadn't been expecting the second, quicker volley of Razor Leaf to slice the strap off. Lotad quickly dragged the unsevered end that it was holding towards you and deposited it at your feet; the Zigzagoon had been left staring in shock at a severed, useless purse strap in its mouth. Indeed, it looked quite funny.

Finally discarding the purse strap, the Zigzagoon savagely growled in rage. It likewise lowered its head for a Tackle, resulting in a head-on collision as the double Tackles hit each other. Both Pokémon were knocked back, but the Zigzagoon appeared to be in worse shape.

"My purse!" the woman screamed again, not believing that you had just ruined it. "You...killed my precious handbag..." Well, losing part of the purse was better than losing the whole thing, especially the storage compartments. Hopefully, she'd get over it.

It now seemed that for the moment that Lotad had the upper hand, of course everything could change within the blink of an eye. Jake wasn't going to keep his hopes up, but he also was not going to be purely pessimistic about the situation. Then so would Lotad. And he didn't want Lotad nervous about the outcome or there would be a slaughter fest.

Jake bent down to pick up the bag so the Zizagoon could not rush up and snatch it back a second time. No doubt that in a moment or two the woman would rush up and snatch the bag from his hands and most likely scold him for tearing it. But it was a damaged bag or none at all. But who was likely to know?

Zizagoon had seemed momentarily stunned at the theft of the bag he had stolen. It had given an opening in which they could have used to attack. Never mind though, they had got the bag now and all that mattered was the defeat and capture of this raccoon Pokémon. It was definitely a test for Lotad to prove his strength, and so far he had been doing just that.

"Okay Lotad excellent work." He called to the small blue and green Pokémon whom was trying his upmost best to win this battle. "I want you to use a razor leaf and then follow it immediately with a tackle attack." "I then want you to shroud yourselves in leaves again and then send them in all directions almost like a (Dare I say it?) Shockwave!"

Your Lotad nodded “Lotad,” it said and started sending leaves at the Zigzagoon. The Zigzagoon dodged to the right and started making is way towards your Lotad, who quickly decided it was best to change the tactics a little bit. A shroud of leaves surrounded it and burst out in all directions. The leaves caught the Zigzagoon by surprise, doing a bit of damage, but mostly letting your Lotad find an opening for its Tackle attack. Right at that moment your premonition came true. The lady came running up to you and started yelling profusely.

“You stupid trainer, that was a very expensive purse you just ruined. I mean look at it, its perfectly hideous now, I can’t be seen with this piece of garbage!” she yelled at the top of her lungs, spittle flying in all directions as she prepared to unleash her anger upon you. With a quick flare of the nostril she threw the bag on the ground and turned around, stomping all the way as she moved out of view around one of the buildings, hopefully never to return to bother you or your Lotad again.

Meanwhile your Lotad had succeeded in landing the tackle attack that you had ordered, only a bit more effectively then you could have hoped. The Zigzagoon panted and moved about sluggishly as he tried keeping an eye on you and your Lotad. He was limping slightly and appeared to be having a hard time focusing because it seemed to shake its head every few seconds before returning its gaze to either you or your Pokémon. Now was your chance, the Zigzagoon was to injured and dazed from hitting the ground hard to do much more damage, and if you hit it any more it was likely to faint and be to late. Plus, you scored a second win today, the lady forgot her purse in her anger and wasn’t likely to come back for it.

This woman had finally crossed the line with Jake. Talk about bloody ungrateful! He had rescued the bag with the slightest of rips and yet she was denying it. She merely left it behind with Jake, just as he was about to scream her down for being stupid, annoying, and entirely ungrateful. He'd probably missed out a handful of insults but she had walked away. They were utterly useless now. Never mind though eh? There would be plenty more people to bitch about wouldn't there?

Jake turned his attention to the bag in his hand. The woman had selfishly left, not just the bag behind, but also the contents of it. Jake rummaged through not swiftly, but in a calm manner. It would look like he had stolen it, which he assumed most people would say he hadn't given the racket that Zigzagoon and Lotad were making. He tried to feel around and pull out whatever he could find.

He then turned his attention back to the developing battle. It seemed that Zigzagoon was well within the 'capturing zone'. After another hit it was likely that Zigzagoon would have fainted. Jake didn't know how the battle would turn out, would Lotad still earn exp points for his hard work? Hopefully, but it certainly looked like that after Jake tossed a pokeball from the depths of HIS bag, there would be a new member to his team.

Jake pressed the button on the ball which enlarged the volume of the sphere. It expanded rapidly in his hand. Soon after Jake flung it at the furry Zigzagoon whom was covered in a blanket of red light. It then absorbed the struggling Pokémon into the orb and began shaking quite violently. Jake knew that as soon as the shaking had stopped he had caught the Pokémon. Lotad approached the pokeball cautiously, ready to retrieve it for him.

In the woman's bag, you found a lot of things. There were wrappers from candies and gum, a two potions, and a big wad of cash. Counting it out, you found $500 in that bag. Plus, maybe the bag was worth something. Who knows. You could find out. Let me know how much it sells for. I always wondered what I should do with damaged merchandise. Anyways, the bags contents were now unveiled, and it was back to the battle at hand.

The Pokeball flew through the air and captured the weakened Zigzagoon in its light. The Pokeball rolled back and forth, back and forth, until it stopped. The button glowed red for a second longer and faded into white. You were now the proud owner of a new Zigzagoon. Congratulations. Lotad looked up at you happily, glad that he had done his job right.

CAPTURED ZIGZAGOON!

:zigzagoon :male Level 8

LOTAD GAINED 72 EXP!
LOTAD GREW TO LEVEL 7!
LOTAD HAS 17 EXP LEFT OVER!
LOTAD LEARNED NATURE POWER!

So, you'd won the battle. Good job. But I think you might want to clear the scene both to get to the Pokémon Center and because that lady could be heard screaming back there. She might be bringing friends. I know I wouldn't want to meet her friends.

Jake merely laughed, he was extremely proud of his Lotad's hard effort and it had definitely paid off! He was now even stronger than he was before. They also had a new Pokémon and a variety of items to boot. This seemed to be turning into an absolutely brilliant day. The sun was beating down quite hard on Jake. The only thing that could top this day was the hatching of his egg. But of course that wouldn't be for a while.

Jake set off back to the poke center to get Lotad and Zigzagoon healed. As he walked he looked at Lotad, surely by now he should have learnt Nature Power? Maybe after the Poke Center he would test it's capabilities. Jake vaguely remembered the direction in which he had come away from the Pokémon center in but sure enough after a short period of time he appeared at the clear sliding doors of the facility.

Jake stepped through as they opened for him. He then swerved many passing people with their Pokémon and approached the front desk and asked whomever was there to heal his Pokémon. Jake wondered if he would see Belle again. Now that they both had Zigzagoons, they might have a bit more of a connection.

Belle didn't appear, but Nurse Joy shortly appeared and whisked away your Pokeballs. A few moments later, the rounded objects were returned to your possession. The process had been short and sweet, and now you were free to do whatever you wished....hopefully.

"THERE'S THE MORON THAT SLASHED MY PURSE!" the woman from before shrieked, bursting into the Center with at least two other women. They were causing quite a scene (to your embarrassment), but they didn't seem to really care. Their eyes burned as these high-standard ladies slowly closed in on you, probably planning on making you pay in devious ways.

"Goo-oon!" a little Zigzagoon said in a sing-song, mocking voice, zigzagging between the legs of the ladies. Immediately, all of them started screaming and stampeding to get away from the annoying rodent. They would probably blame you for this, yet that hadn't been your Zigzagoon. With a smile, you realized that you were staring at Goony, Belle's Zigzagoon!

"Nice one, Goony," she commented, appearing from behind a door and ruffling the creature's fur affectionately. Turning to you, she said, "I couldn't help but interfere. Those women are highly snobbish, and they come around a lot. They drive most of the staff here crazy!"

Well, shouldn't you be saying thank-you to her by now? Or even better, you could show her your new Zigzagoon....Oh? Did I hear a cracking sound come from your egg? You may want to investigate it...yep. A tiny crack had appeared at the top of the egg!

Jake looked quite alarmed at the woman returning with her 2 friends. They seemed to be getting closer and closer and as they did, seemed to look angrier and angrier. It seemed like Jake was definitely going to get the possible worse discipline in his life from 3 middle aged hags. Fortunately enough for Jake, the punishment never arrived.

Belle had however and warded them off with her faithful Zigzagoon whom now stood beside her happily. They were now reunited and back together, now maybe they could set out on their adventure together. But where would they go from here? Jake had heard that a lake was quite near to this area, maybe he could go out and catch a water Pokémon? Or maybe they could stay and explore a bit more in Wayford.

"Thanks," Jake said to Belle. Without her he probably would be in a fair amount of trouble right now. But it wasn't just Belle, it was Zigzagoon as well. Maybe their Zigzagoons would get on together. Jake knelt down to address Zigzagoon and began stroking him. "I've got someone you might like to meet," Jake said to the Zigzagoon.

At the moment he was about to pull out the pokeball containing his Zigzagoon, a crack could be heard. Jake instinctively looked to the ceiling to see if it was caving in, he then looked down at his egg where a small hole had appeared in the top of the egg. Could this be it? Could it be time for the egg to hatch and for Jake to acquire a 3rd member for his team? This really was turning out to be the best day for Jake!

The egg cracked a little more, lines starting to spread as the cracks started showing up all over the egg. You pull the egg out and sit in a corner, watching the miracle of the Pokémon hatching. Your breath held up in your lungs, your eyes intent on the egg as the lines spread. A faint glow started coming from the cracks in the egg, quickly covering the entire thing. As the light spread the egg started disappearing, making the faint shape of a Pokémon appear. Unfortunately do to the light you can’t quite tell what Pokémon it is yet.

As you focus on the egg the light starts to fade, slowly but surely showing more of what Pokémon you got. You could tell it was going to be a small Pokémon, and by the shape of it possibly a grass Pokémon. After a few seconds your thoughts were correct. “Budew,” the small grass Pokémon said as the last of the light disappeared, showing the Pokémon completely. Congratulations, you now had a Budew on your team. Hey, you hadn’t introduced yourself yet, were you going to do so to this very cute Pokémon sitting on your lap staring up at you lovingly?
