Zackary Joel Ortega
Joel watched as the little fox was a beast at battling. He was amazingly talented for a small little Pokémon. How was Joel going to command such an acrobatic Pokémon that liked to take its own orders? He would have to figure out a way in the future, if they do complete the trade. They both wanted to just complete the trade, but apparently had to do this for some 'Madame Diane.' Joel has never heard of the name before, but for some odd reason, this seemed to spike some aggression within the little fox. Was something wrong with this...Madame Diane? Joel could not leave his beloved Pokémon in the hands of someone horrible. But then the babysitter explained the differences between Vulx and Opoh, and how Vulx doesn't enjoy just sitting around, while Opoh does. She pretty much nailed it when she said Opoh would fit perfectly there. Because he really would.

All the young male knew, was that this fire fox was amazing, and Joel wanted it more and more as time progressed. He was agile, he was strong, he had beauty, he had grace, he was Mr. United States....yes, I went there. Anyway, from the looks of it, it seemed as if neither of them even did any damage to each other. Opoh barely even reacted to being attacked, it was kind of weird to watch. Opoh could be spirit bombed and just brush it off. Maybe he lacked pain sensors? It was whatever.

Now, for the next round of uber failure battling skills! Joel wondered what would be the most useless move, that would not have much of an effect right now. And then he thought of yawn. The Pokémon wouldn't fall asleep until the next round after, so Vulx could clearly finish the battle right there and then.
"Alright Opoh, I want you to use Yawn on the Vulpix." Joel waited for the battle to be over. The acrobatic Vulpix had this battle hands down. Not even mentioning Joel did not command his Pokémon to actually attack. He felt so close to having the second Pokémon in his dream team. His gym leader team was slowly coming together, and he loved it!

Opoh opened his mouth, Yawning right in Vulx's face. Both parties giggled at the Pokemon, the lady with the Vulpix taking out that odd Poke Ball and returning the adorable little fox Pokemon to its holding sphere. With a smile she turned towards your direction and began to walk right up to you. Her hand was extended, happily handing the Poke Ball in your direction. "I'm sure my boss will just love this cute little guy! The lady's practically an insomniac so having a move that puts her to sleep will be so useful!" Her face was very glitter and smiles and make-up from up close, and you could clearly see that she had been hiding gorgeous green eyes this entire time. The lady's hair was curly and brown, very well kept. Her attire was very professional, an orange suit coat with a matching skirt and a pair of black heeled pumps. "There's just one thing I should tell you...Vulx is a bit of a spit-fire. Literally. You're going to have to exercise him daily, hourly sometimes. It can be a pain for a lady like me or his previous owner who are just always busy with work but since you're a Pokemon trainer and training these little pups is your job I'm sore you're more than capable."

The lady smiled at you before adverting her attention to Opoh who was just sitting there, probably wondering where the delicious lady who was going to give him baths daily went. This lady Opoh was thinking of at this very moment looked down at the creature and gave it a pat on the head. "He's just so adorable, and a quarter as energetic as Vulx there. I really do love the idea of having this little guy around to keep me company, not to mention how much buzz it will get from Diana. Maybe she'll even have him on the news once or twice! Haha. The lady stood back up and exchanged Poke Balls with you. At this point it was set in stone that Vulx now belonged to you and Opoh was now this mysterious Diana lady's Pokemon who apparently has something to do with the news. Huh.

The lady took off in another direction, carrying in her purse Opoh. It was probably hard on you to see that pink little guy go, but in return you have a back-flipping Vulpix that so what sometimes he melts furniture for a hobby. You're a trainer, what furniture do you have to lose anyways?

Having obtained a new Pokemon from a simple exhibition match and a quick trade was pretty awesome, but now what were you going to do. The town is open for more exploration, but why stick around this little space when there's so much more to do in life! Maybe you would like to head out and explore the world a bit more? Well, whatever your choice may be I find it appropriate to let you know you are now

Free, from my plot!

Joel watched as the woman withdrew the little fox Pokémon, and proceeded with the trade. She then mentioned something about the news. Joel wasn't really fond of the news, but there was the occasional time where he would find himself staring at the television sets in electronic stores, watching the news. More like, two times, but the name Diana now seemed very familiar. This made Joel smile a bit, at least Opoh was going to be in a much better place. Being pampered twenty-four/seven was definitely not a bad thing! Who wouldn't want to be smothered with love and not have to fight other scary Pokémon? True, it was hard to let Opoh go, but he made sure he said his goodbyes.

The male slowly knelt down next to his Pokémon, and wrapped his arms around the pink dual type.
"Hey Opoh...I guess this is it...this is where we part. I know we haven't been together for long, but I want you to know that I'll miss you. I really will! I hope you enjoy yourself buddy, you deserve it. Maybe one day I'll see you again? I'm sure I'll see you on the news..haha..."

Slowwwwwwww

Joel couldn't help himself, his eyes started to water. He wasn't good with goodbyes, especially since this Pokémon was his second one. He enjoyed every memory made with the little Slowpoke and knew he would never forget them. The young man lifted his hand into his pocket and pulled out a wrapped candy bar. Opoh's eyes widened immediately and his tongue started to slide out of his mouth. Joel started to unwrap the bar, as he continued to speak to his Pokémon.

"Here you go buddy, one last candy bar from me. Enjoy it!" Joel's Pokémon groaned slightly as he devoured the bar and licked his mouth clean. If it wasn't obvious, the Pokémon had a large smile on his face from a fairly tasty departure. The two of them said their goodbyes, as both groups went on their separate ways.

It was bittersweet. Joel said goodbye to a friend, but gained another in the process. He figured that he might as well start the bonding process with the fox Pokémon right away. Joel pulled out the black Pokeball and pressed the button, and the fire type emerged with a slight cry of its name. The dirty-blond smiled at his new Vulpix, as the Pokémon stared back at him confusingly. It took the Pokémon a few seconds to realize that he was traded off to this...trainer...how horrible.

"Alright Vulx, things are gonna be a little different with me. I like to battle and find new Pokémon, so I wanna know if you're going to be able to battle tons of Pokémon with me?!" Vulx watched his new trainer carefully. Alright, maybe this wasn't going to be so bad after all. The Pokémon then cried out its name with acceptance and Joel smiled greatly from this. He was glad Vulx was on board with him, it made things much easier as a trainer. Otherwise they would have a serious issue, like Growlithe and Joel.

The two of them eventually walked into the Pokémon Center, noticing Seno, and Chira staring down Growlithe. It seemed as if something was wrong. Did Seno and Chira dislike Growlithe? Well..who could blame them? Growlithe was kind of a nonstop douche-bag to everyone and everything. Joel had to change this. They both walked up to the group as Joel started to introduce their new friend.
"Alright guys...I have some sad news, and some good news. The sad news is, Opoh has a new trainer now, and is probably being pampered as we speak. The good news, is that we now have a new friend. Say hello to Vulx!"

Seno, being the loyal Pokémon who knows better, approached Vulx first. He chuckled slightly and held out his small fin like fingers to the fire type and said hello in his own language. Vulpix watched the Pokémon for a few seconds, and then eventually laughed as well and lifted his paw to the water type's "hand." Chira was next to follow, and immediately accepted Vulx into the team, placing her paw on top of the other two. It wasn't until Growlithe was the last standing, when an actual problem arose. Growlithe glared down Vulx and started to growl. Apparently Vulx was now deemed Growlithe's number one enemy...even though they barely said hello to each other. Growlithe was jealous, he wasn't the only fire type anymore. And to top it all off, Vulx was a gorgeous Pokémon. The fire dog hated every minute of this, as it got worst and worst by the minute...for him that is. Eventually Seno and Chira backed up Vulx and told Growlithe to f*ck off in their own language. It was obvious who the small turtle and pup liked more.

This was going to be interesting. Apparently Growlithe was jealous of Vulx for being another fire type of the same tier. There was going to be a ton of rivalry between them, and Joel wasn't ready for that yet. Something needed to change. The muscular boy was not sure if he'd be able to keep his Growlithe any longer if the Pokémon did not change its pessimistic ways. All Joel knew, was that he now had 4 strong Pokémon, and that he wanted to fight his first gym leader already. He decided that in the morning he should head out towards Emerslope...Speaking of morning. Was it really 1 am?!?!

The group went into the designated section they were allowed to sleep in and started to get comfortable. Seno, Chira, and surprisingly Vulx all cuddled up on Joel, while Growlithe wouldn't even get a foot near him. Joel attempted to call his fire dog over, but the Pokémon refused to, as it laid down a few feet away from the rest of them. This was going to be difficult. The night eventually passed through, and morning came faster than a pig's head flying off a stick. (Don't ask.) The young man decided to pull out his phone and check his messages. He noticed he had a new message from another trainer named Ellery on his Trainer Link. Apparently Ellery liked his Growlithe's picture...yet only if he knew how much of an asshole Growlithe was to him. Well...maybe Growlithe just didn't like Joel and his Pokémon? Maybe he wasn't really a douche-bag at heart.........nahhhh. Joel then proceeded to respond to the trainer Ellery's posts on his wall. Maybe this kid would want his Growlithe? Who knew?? All he knew was that it was now morning and it was time to get this show on the road. They proceeded to prepare themselves for Emerslope, as Joel wrote a post to meet up with Ellery, regarding his Growlithe. Sorry Growlithe....not.

The trainer accommadations in the Pokécenter weren't really anything to write home about - most trainers just ended up sleeping curled up in one of the couches or chairs with little more than a Center-loaned blankie their only companion. Hell, there were a few trainers who ended up on the floor, or at least those late arrivals who weren't lucky enough to work their feminine wiles or abuse friendships to end up crawling on top of/beside a trainer who had already claimed a bunk or couch. There were only a few bunk beds, relatively speaking, for how many trainers tended to wander in and request lodgings for the night. But that wasn't really the Pokécenter's fault; they were very likely working off of severely limited funding, and the primary focus of a Pokécenter was healing Pokémon, after all, not giving trainers - who could camp outside, anyways - a place to stay.

Still, you'd managed to claim a corner of a couch, so it wasn't really your problem. Whatever your deal with the other young man was, there was TRAVELING to be done! You checked out without much issue, and stepped out into the bright glare of the sun. Beautiful day outside, not a cloud in the sky, somewhere in the low 80s, high 70s if you had to guess. Trainers wandering about everywhere, Pokémon accompanying them or cartwheeling through the sky as the few Flying-type trainers went to add another feathered menace to their collection, all that good stuff. Since it was Ayer rather than say Kadaara, and you were reasonably far from the docks and industrial district, even the air was cleaner and free of smog. No wonder Ayer had become the de facto port of arrival for new Tohean trainers, the place was damn beautiful.

On the flip side, that was also a small sea of humanity to wade through, though the crowd of trainers was not so thick as to be onerous - frankly most people weren't really standing that close together. The real problem was dodging the Pokémon and trainers hurtling through lanes and barely avoiding crashing into things or each other, everything from Piplups to one particularly overly-friendly Aggron who was just trying to hug a Skitty... or possibly grind it into a fine red paste. The difference was subtle, given that the trainers who owned them were yelling at each other.

So. Wait for this "Ellery" person, or get a move on to route [whatever]? Depended on how fast you wanted to get rid of Growlithe, because it was much more likely that he'd be near the Pokécenter than in the middle of the wilderness.

edit: AND THEN SUDDENLY A TOTALLY HOTTT CHICK SHOWED UP AND WANTED YOUR GROWLITHE AND WAS WILLING TO TRADE 85 BUCKS FOR IT AND WOULD TOTALLY FINISH THE TRADE SUPER FAST AND BE OUT OF YOUR WAY. HOW CONVENIENT GIVEN RECENT DRAMA.

As his team prepared themselves to finally leave Ayer, Joel got a message regarding his Growlithe. Apparently the trainer who was going to buy Growlithe, was not in the area anymore, and was not necessarily interested in buying anymore. This somewhat saddened Joel, which made him feel bad. He felt that if he got upset because Growlithe didn't sell, then he should probably not have Growlithe anymore. It wasn't that Joel was a bad trainer, it was just that Growlithe seemed to hate everyone on his team. It was really hard to journey with a Pokémon that hated everyone. And to top it all off, it made no signs of trying to get over its hatred. Sure, he eventually figured he could try to win Growlithe over...eventually.

Though, that thought process quickly evacuated the dancefloor, when some random woman came up to him wanting to buy his Growlithe. Random? Yes. Weird? Yes. Great Opportunity? Definitely! Now, Joel didn't necessarily jump at the chance in a second. He did think about it. Okay...it only took him 10 seconds to decide...so maybe he was a bad trainer. But in all honesty, any trainer was a better trainer for Growlithe. The Pokémon hated everything that involved Joel for heaven's sake!

Joel decided to accept the woman's offer, and quickly said his goodbyes to his fire dog. The Pokémon didn't seem to necessarily care. In all honesty, it seemed pretty happy to have a hott chick be his new trainer. Joel guessed that Growlithe had the same thought process as Joel...what a shame. The two of them could have eventually been great friends, but he guessed it wasn't meant to be. The young man returned the Pokémon to his ball and then handed the woman Growlithe's Pokeball, receiving the $300 in its place. He thanked her for the exchange, and then continued to prepare himselves for their journey out of Ayer.

At first Joel was wary of allowing his Pokémon out of their balls at once. He was afraid they would get distracted and find themselves chasing something shiney. But apparently Seno already dealt with this possibilty the night before when they attempted to follow a clinking sound. Anyway, Joel and his three Pokémon made their way out of the Pokémon Center, and headed towards Route 1. They eventually arrived to the entance of the route, after Joel had to chase after Vulx and Chira due to their obsession with shiney things. It wasn't fun. At all. The group entered the route and headed up it, making their way towards Emerslope.

The totes HOTTT chick abruptly made her exit in a flounce as soon as the trade was complete, hugging the suddenly-very-happy Growlithe to her exceptionally bountiful chest with a *GLEE* before disappearing in a puff of deus ex machi-err... "smoke." Pink smoke, needless to say. So you were rid of the difficult doggie, and in return had gotten all of $300, which didnt' actually mean all that much since there really wasn't a TM shop or anything to spend it on, but you would be in slightly better shape when one inevitably opened, because let's be honest here Tohea pretty much works on the Rule of Arbitrary Bullshit, which is to say What I Say Goes.

Speaking of which, you made your way through Ayer in record time, partially because you weren't actually that far from the route - the Pokécenter was unsurprisingly located fairly close to the nearest exit from Ayer, so traveling trainers could find it easily - and partially because you were running at the speed of GOD DAMMIT VULX AND CHIRA SLOW DOWN WHY ARE YOU RUNNING AROUND LIKE CHICKENS WITH THEIR HEADS CHOPPED OFF. Not that their heads were actually chopped off, mind you, because that would kind of a lot suck and be kind of hard to fix even with modern technology. Unless you wanted a mecha-Vulpix and cyborg-whatever, which could be cool but that's really the realm of mad scientists.

Anyways point is you got to the route entrance pretty much fine, and passed through the gate without any real fuss; there were plenty of other trainers about, socializing or glaring at their iStones or chatting on the phone or challenging each other to battles. The stewards of the gates, a quadruplet of volunteers, stood there and helped people who needed it while generally keeping an eye out for serious trouble or fights that needed to be broken up - basic stuff really, but important, given that trainers had a tendency to attract or cause trouble.

There was also the girl who had just rammed you from behind LIKE A ROGUE, and who was now sprawled on her ass behind you, caressing her forehead and semi-incoherently apologizing. "Ouch! Oh I'm, err, I'm sorry, I didn't... see you there. Ow." After a moment, she brightened up and immediately changed the subject because segways are for pussies. "Hey! You're a Pokémon trainer right? Can we have a battle? Also I'm Cerene."

You mgiht want to uh, help her up there, champ. Before someone steps on her. Or remind her to get up. Or just dissolve in a puddle of SO MOE I'M GONNA DIE.

As the ambiguously gay duo group of whores friends made their way through the gates of hell Ayer, they looked back and waved their middle fingers hands at the town and whomever was creeping. It was an odd thing to do...to wave at a town. Could you just imagine a person and their Pokémon...just waving, at nothing. I mean come one. Imagine yourself, standing inside of the town. You are going about your business and BAM you notice a bunch of creepers just waving. Do you wave back? Do you just watch them? Do you call Officer Jenny? Or maybe even call Nurse Joy?...You never know, they could be mental.

[LAWLMunch]OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER OMG TOASTER, okay just kidding.[/LAWLMunch]

Anyway, back to the actual point...if there was one to begin with. The group made their way down up the route towards Emerslope. Chira and Vulx were non-stop playing with each other...not like that. Joel had to constantly chase after them and pull them out of bushes and branches. Apparently they liked playing hide and go seek with Joel. Seno attempted to join in, but Joel sent him a quick glare, which caused the little turtle to sweat a little and chuckle off the fear. His water Pokémon knew better to not cause Joel even more of a hassle.

It wasn't until later on in their travels, when Joel felt like they made some form of progress. The entire beginning of the trip consisted of an undesired hide and go seek with a hint of catch me if you can. Joel had many different thought processes going on in his head. Besides having his Pokémon, he felt kind of alone, and didn't really have any friends. He always remembered seeing people in guilds being all family-like with each other, and always having so much fun. Joel wanted to be a part of something like that. A part of a guild. But he did not know of any, so he wondered how he would go about finding one or joining one. And then it hit him. He would make a guild, and find other people who felt the same way as him. Not just trainers, but coordinators, breeders, and just about anyone who would want to join...besides creepers. And this is the moment, where Joel decided to take leadership into his own hands, and posted a message on TrainerLink. How badass. He spent a lot of time into his post, and made sure everyone on the network could see it. He hoped people would join, and then possibly get to know all of them. Only time would tell.

And then that is when his entire train of thought crashed into another train. Something happened which nearly caused Joel to freak out from his deep in thought brainstorming and the other distractions constantly happening. A shocking bump from behind surprised his sanity into submission. At first he assumed it was his Pokémon, but then noticed a randomly fallen girl. She was pretty cute too, maybe he should get her...wait no! Not time for this, Gym Leader Joel Gym Leader! Emerslope was surely up ahead, he couldn't remove his focus from the goal...but she seemed like she needed help. Joel being the perverted psycho gentleman that he was, reached his hand out to her, helping her up.
"Hello Cerene, I'm Joel, this is Seno, Chira, and Vulx" Joel respectively pointed at his Pokémon as he introduced them. This woman seemed interesting enough to keep a conversation with, but it wasn't until she spoke of battling, when she caught his full interest.

Joel's eyes brightened up at the sound of a battle. Was this woman serious? If so, this would be an amazing opportunity for Joel. He needed to train to battle the gym leader in Emerslope. Plus, he never even used Chira or Vulx in a battle yet, so this would be interesting.
"I accept your proposal..err battle request." Joel waited for the woman to release her first battler, before he would choose her opponent. He moved a little far from the woman, so there was room for the battle. The area around them was big enough for a battle, and there weren't any trainers around, so he figured it shouldn't be a problem to battle here. And if anything, a trainer would probably stop and watch them, cause they're creepy stalkers like that.

The girl perked up like you'd just told her it was her birthday and Hanukkah and Christmas all at once, and that guy she liked was single and interested in her, and she'd just won the lottery except the lottery was actually all of the lotteries at the same time. "Really? Awesome!" She accepted your hand and managed to get up, dusting herself off perfunctorily before swaying slightly. "Oh. Uhm. First could you maybe sort of come help me catch a Pokémon anything will do please I have no idea what I'm doing?"

Whoa wait what.

She jammed one hand into her hoody, coming out with a blue-ish ball, with a duo of red stripes along the top. "See! I have Pokeballs! ...Pokeball! You only need one for a Pokémon right?" Cerene looked up at you with eyes full of shining hope and more moe than was probably legal in most states and countries. "I'll pay you! With money! I mean I don't have much but I had some left after buying this ball and I mean if you help me catch a Pokémon I can battle you, and that's good right? ...Right?" Well she sure as hell didn't look like the scam artist type, more the "hopelessly lost and confused" type. Not that there were really a whole lot of ways to scam people into having a fair-ish battle with you short of kidnapping their dog for ransom, but she didn't really look like a dognapper either.

"I mean if you're not too busy or whatever. I just thought it was a good idea at the time?" Cerene was already fidgeting, trying to think of something incredibly convincing and intelligent to say and apparently failing miserably given her devolving into borderline-incoherent rambling. "Or I can help you then? With doing stuff? I don't know? Maybe?" Your call big man, help the idjit blossom into a competent - or something approaching passable, at least - trainer who might turn out to be a passable rival or at least punching bag, or leave her to rot. She probably didn't have a lot of money left after buying the Great Ball; think of this as more of an investment than anything that will necessarily make you rich on the spot.

As Joel helped her up, she said the most puzzling thing a "trainer" could ever say. She asked Joel for a battle...and then asked him to help her catch a Pokémon to battle him. Was this woman off her rocker or something? Joel considered running away for a split second, but quickly ignored the thought. The woman proceeded to pull out a blue ball with red stripes on it, which looked much different than the typical Pokeball. Maybe it would catch stronger Pokémon? The woman surely did not know anything about battling or even Pokémon for that matter. Where was this woman from? A pineapple under the sea? Possibly. It honestly did not matter that much. Joel was just a tad curious as to how someone could know so little. None the less, Joel felt bad for her and ultimately guilt tripped himself into helping her.

"Sure, I will help you. It's not like I have anything extremely better to do right his moment...and I wouldn't want your money to go to waste! You necessarily do not have to pay me with money, or really with anything. I can't take your money like that."
She sure as hell did not seem like a scam artist, and well, if she attempted to scam her, Joel may consider sending Chira and Vulx her way. They would surely teach her a lesson to not scam people anymore. Plus, this woman barely seemed like she could hurt a fly, she was so damn cute. The young male had to help her, he couldn't resist feeling the urge to help her catch a Pokémon. No person should be denied having a Pokémon, unless they were an avid serial killer, and then in that case, the person should be seriously confined within steel walls to never see daylight again.

Anyway, Joel figured the battle afterward may be exciting. Maybe they could catch the same Pokémon as each other and battle each other using them? It would be cute and fair at the same time. Though where in the world would they find two of the same Pokémon? Joel started to keep an eye out for cute Pokémon, preferably in doubles. The girl seemed like she'd be the type to enjoy massively cute Pokémon. The Pokémon they would try to catch had to be massively cute or amazing enough for her to cream her skirt upon sight.

"Don't worry, I'm not that busy...I was just heading toward Emerslope to battle the Gym Leader, but that can wait. Let's just hope a cute Pokémon comes by here, or we can walk and find some." This caused Seno to question Joel's motive a bit. Did Joel really want another member to the team already? To Joel, it did not matter when or how a member joined his team, as long as they all got along, and Joel would eventually figure out their personalities and love them to death. The two continued to look out for Pokémon, hopefully finding one of such cuteness. Cute Pokémon were amazing, and were just so fluffy and cute and fluffy!

Except this time it was more like fourteen Christmases in a row, and all of them gave her free Lamborghinis except that her new fleet of luxury cars were made out of diamonds and they were also tickets to that thing that she liked. "Oh! Um. Really? I mean. Thank you!" Out came the sun, except the sun was her smile. "I'm okay with anything. But preferably cute. How do you catch Pokémon exactly? Noelle said you had to weaken them before hitting them with the ball but how do you know how weak they are?"

Cerene, pumped up with enthusiasm and joy, half-dragged half-carried you out of the gate and to the wild wild yonder, a sea of grass interposed with copses of trees, bits of brush, paths, scrub, and a metric crapton of Pokémon. The only issue was that the grass was easily two, three feet high for the most part, or taller in some places - it was hard to tell what Pokémon you were about to run into since the vast majority were small enough to hide full in the grass, and other trainers were already hard at work picking off anything larger. Hell, there were other trainers everywhere, looking for Skitties and Poochyena and everything else under the sun and some other species that were nocturnal. Their words and the cries of wild Pokémon filled the air, lending the entire area a sense of vibrant, pulsing life that Cerene found irresistable.

"...It's so... beautiful." She was gawking, her earlier surge of enthusiasm replaced by awe. "See? This is one of the reasons I want to be a Pokémon trainer! You have to work hard, but you always have your friends at your side, and you do everything together. And trainers too! You don't always have to fight them, you can make friends too!" She clapped her hands together in glee. "So! Umm where do we start? Or do we just kind of, umm, walk through the grass until we find something, or...? OOH THAT ONE I WANT THAT ONE PLEASE HELP WHAT DO I DO I WANT THAT ONE."

The object of her desire? A floating... seed, if appearances were any indication, gazing at the two of you with soulless, monstrous eyes filled with undying hatred spilling over into a torrent of cruelty. It was also Growing larger, turning from a foot-tall seed, which was already kind of creepy, into a slightly larger and slightly veinier seed. It hadn't attacked, though, staring at her with a fascination that held back the eternal hatred for all that lived that still shone in the back of its eyes.

Joel watched as the woman's thought process gave him a personal view to her emotions. The young hunk of a man was not aware that agreeing to helping her, would make her smile so much. Literally brighten up the day. Her face seemed to emit some sort of solar ray..it was weird...not really. And by solar ray, I mean happy laser beams. And by happy laser beams, I mean her smiling. "It's honestly no problem. I would love to help you. And I love all types of Pokémon, especially cute ones, as you can see my team, haha!" And then the woman continued to say the unspeakable things a trainer must never, ever say. How does one capture a Pokémon?

Well, you choose a baseball bat Pokémon to battle the one you are trying to capture. Then you beat the crap out of it until its health points are low. Last, you throw a prison sentence Pokeball at the thing after its hp is low enough to capture. Joel basically said this Cerene, but in a much nicer, simpler form.
"Well, you can usually tell by the way they are acting. If they are huffing and puffing, or if they are moving slower. Or if you just assume they've been hit enough. I usually knock out the Pokémon before throwing out the ball. That way my Pokémon gets full experience from the battle. And who's Noelle?" Who was Noelle exactly? Was she her hotter or uglier sister? Or just a random best friend who knows a shit ton about Pokémon training. Bob says the second, is my price right?....Wait. No. Anyway.

Along with the multiple trainers searching for Pokémon, Joel was one of them, searching for his dream team Pokémon as he helped the young woman. If something appeared that was on his dream team, he would more than likely make up an excuse as to how he will catch this one to demonstrate, and allow her to catch the next one after. Yes that seemed a bit unfair to her, but shit, Joel was going to use his own time and Pokémon to help her capture a Pokémon. He initially had first dibs on whatever, technically speaking. Though, he did agree to help, and Zackary Joel was a man of his word...so that's what he did, helped.

The two of them continued to walk through the small thicket, until the woman started to freak out over a Pokémon. Was she speaking this entire time? Joel didn't even notice! What if she had asked him a serious question or said something important that would require a response? After pondering the outcomes, the young man made a mental note to pay attention to the woman 100% from now on. The Pokémon that she wanted, was no other than a small....seed...exciting. The Pokémon seemed like it was constipated or something, or in its case, ready for a fight. This was good, because Joel was yearning for a battle.

Joel then proceeded to create a strategy in his head, as he motioned for Cerene to get closer to him. He couldn't have her get in the middle of the battle.
"Alright Cerene, I'm going to battle this little seed Pokémon for you. Watch carefully, and take note of some of my strategies. You're going to need to develop your own strategies when you battle Pokémon." The male hoped that she would take in as much information as she could. He wanted this to be a great learning experience for her, plus, he didn't want to do this all day. Joel continued to brainstorm, first picking his battler. He wanted to use one of his new Pokémon, since he hasn't been able to battle with them yet. It was between the crazy rip crap into pieces pup, or the constantly active, acrobatic, flipping, fire fox. Since Joel just got Vulx, he decided he was going to use him.

"Vulx, you're up buddy. I want you to use a Tail Whip, and then follow it up with two Embers. We got this Vulx, let's help her out and then go battle the Gym Leader. We need some experience and this is a great opportunity." Joel felt confident in his choice. Plus the Pokémon was doing flips and dodged stuff quickly when Joel battled him the first time around. So this Pokémon should pretty much be the same no matter what. And they really did need the experience. The gym leader wasn't that far away, and Joel felt as if they not ready to battle the leader yet. He wanted to be a gym leader one day, it would be amazing.

Speaking of being a leader, he wondered if anyone requested to join his random guild. That would be awesome, for Joel to be a guild and gym leader. Though for some odd reason, he felt as if it might have dis-allowance written all over it. He would eventually have to decide which one was more important in the future...if that were the case. But he hoped it wouldn't be! Anyway, back to the battle. Joel watched as the events started to unfold. More so, he watched Cerene, watching the battle.

Vulpix picked up his tail and began to swing it around. Tail Whip was meant to lower its defenses, and what other way to do it by distracting the hell out of something that quickly moved around in a graceful and beautiful motion. Sort of like a plastic bag floating in the wind, and yes I just stole that from Family Guy. The move worked, but one thing probably wasn’t expected. As Vulpix was dancing around, getting the Sunkern to lower its defenses, the grass type was charging up its lasers. Glowing green as it began to change into the INCREDIBLE HULK.

Cool huh? Ya know how long it took me to find that sprite? A whole 5 hours 3 minutes. Anyways, with its defenses lowered, and it’s lasers charged, the small plant fired out its green spew. The energy covered him and did nothing, except threw out the first Ember. Some would laugh at the small fire move, that barely does any damage, but not grass types. Regardless of how small it was, in this case size didn’t matter. Fire burns plants, and that’s that. The screams from this little plant were terrible, and the green aura that WAS Mega Drain faded away as there was no need to do any damage to it anymore, as the seed shriveled up and died/fainted/turned to ash.

Cerene looked shocked…and confused. A part of her seemed to like the extreme brutal force that you showed taking advantage of the HUGE type advantage, the other part of her looked as if she didn’t want the thing to loose. Looking at you it was time to speak again… “So is it…time to capture it yet? she said with the up most serious tone that could ever be spoken. She was super cereal about this, as almost waiting for Vulpix to release the second wave of destruction.

:male Level 7
:hp 24/24 :ep 95%

supp: Tail Whip –1 defense to Sunkern, 2 energy loss
prime1: Ember - (((((40/5 +1)x1.2)x1.5)x1.2 (FlashFire) + 1 = way too much…20 damage!, 5 energy loss. Like that matters


exp: 2(3 * 10) = 60 exp earned! 44 existing exp and 60 = 36/80 exp for your new level!

The battle did not last long at all. It was fairly quick and could have been missed if you blinked just once. Vulx showed his true power, as he proceeded to attack the little seed. The second that Vulx's ember touched the Sunkern, the battle was over. The small flame spread like wild fire and after the fire went out, the little Pokémon was left fainted. The young man then proceeded to motion the woman to throw her, what he assumed to be, Greatball at the little Pokémon. "Cerene, it's time, throw your ball at the Pokémon. Sorry for causing him so much damage. If you still wanted a battle, we could possibly meet in the future? Since the lil seed won't be healed up by then."

The young male watched as the woman pulled out her ball and threw it at the Pokémon. The ball shook once, twice, and then its most significant shake. And then with a soft bing the Pokémon was captured. The trainer just completed his goal in helping Cerene capture her first Pokémon. And hopefully taught her a few lessons in the art of capturing a Pokémon. True, it wasn't hard, but there was still an art too it! It's not like you can just find any Pokémon and throw any random ball at it. Most of the time you had to harm it first...how horrible. You have to beat the crap out of harm a Pokémon greatly with a baseball bat, in order for it to become your evil being who will stab you in the night friend.

Anyway, the faster than balls dropping battle was over and Cerene now had her very own weapon of mass destruction Pokémon. Even though it was just a little seed, it still had magical powers like that super green move it was attempting to pull off. How could a small seed even know that move right away? Anyway, it did not matter. If that is all Cerene wanted, he would say his goodbyes, and possibly take down her number. If she wanted anything else, he would attempt to help her in anyway possible.
"Well, that's it I guess, there's your new partner, I think it may be a Sunkern. I'm not exactly sure. Did you need anything else or is that it...?"

And then thats when he noticed the random man staring at him. As Joel finished speaking to Cerene, he noticed a shirtless man spectating. Was the man watching the entire battle of 2 seconds? And why was his shirt off? Okay, he did have a pretty nice body, and was pretty muscular. His build was also quite attractive, but come on, they were in the middle of a route. Since when did people just parade without a shirt on...oh wait...Joel used to do that....nevermind that. Anyway, what did this man want? He looked a little familiar, was he the same man from trainer link? The famous guy who's nudes popped up everywhere? That would be interesting.

Not wondering if he should feel safe around this guy or not, he ordered Vulx and Seno by his side. Chira was currently in her Pokeball, so there was no need to call her. She was safe and sound! If this guy was a total pedo, he would blast him away with water and fire. If not, maybe they could be friends?

[Tavy entry point. Also, c+ping ref for him since it affects you as well, though it's... to his perspective. I guess.]

Thusly and therewith we arrive at your current location, which is to say starting down the road that is Route One. The gate between Ayer and Route One had been pretty busy, as usual, but you managed to get through without anyone drop-kicking you or slaughtering you with psychically-edged socks, which was probably a pretty good thing by most standards. Unless you were into that whole S&M thing, but that's another story entirely, and not completely relevant to the current situation. Point was, you were just walking down Route One like a pimp, your fifty million Pokémon just hoppin' and bumpin' down along after you - or riding you like a carnival midget in Hope's case - without a care in the world. Life was good, you'd just gotten a Hoothoot, some trainer killing the shit out of some floating hate-sunflower-seed with fire, because honestly why did I even wonder if he'd use anything other than fire, and then suddenly Bidoof everywhere.

The girl that was standing near the boy almost started to scream as one of the furry horrors brushed up against her leg, but decided against it as her face twisted from surprise into goofy adoration. You were still a good thirty feet away and you could still easily hear her shriek in joy as she picked one up, hugging the very confused critter. "OKAY I CHANGED MY MIND I WANT THIS ONE." She looked at it pensively. "It also looks less on-fire, which is always a good trait for a Pokémon to have. Not being on fire that is. Being on fire is NOT a good trait. Wait. WAIT. I got this. I GOT THIS."

Whatever idea she had was pretty much irrelevant for the time being, because two Bidoof were approaching you and a few more were staring suspiciously at the other trainer, who seemed to be the only one of the two who actually had any Pokémon. Perhaps the girl's boyfriend?

Was this man bad luck or something? His presence alone brought upon a small group of Bidoof. And for some odd reason, Cerene was...cuddling with one? If only she would have seen the one Joel saved the other day. She would have freaked and probably asked for it, which she was somewhat doing now. Apparently the woman changed her mind and now wanted a freaking Bidoof...seriously? A Bidoof? Who actually wanted a Bidoof? They were practically the fails of the fails. They put the FAIL in FAIL. Literally. This woman had to be on something, most likely crack. He also hoped that she randomly had another Pokeball on her, otherwise he might end up having to use one of his own, and he wouldn't like that. Joel was okay with helping others catch Pokémon. But he wasn't okay with catching Pokémon with his own balls and giving them away like that. It was kind of a waste on his part.

Though, survey most likely would say that she was broke and didn't have anymore balls on her. The crack whore woman would probably ask him to use one of his balls. He was just waiting for it. She wanted the Pokémon, she could try to get it. Maybe he would allow her to carry one to a Pokémon Center? Anyway, all of this is irrelevant to the actual situation at hand. There were now 5 Bidoof surrounding them, inching in closer and closer. It kind of seemed like the Bubonic Plague was in a historical repeat with Bidoof. If that was the case, then they were all screwed. Yay.

Joel was not sure if the other trainer had any other Pokémon or not, but if he couldn't fend for himself, Joel would send out Chira. And since there were two Bidoof heading towards Joel, and Seno and Vulx were already out, he figured he would use them to battle the plague. Thank goodness Vulx wasn't all that tired from the battle. He would have Vulx attack the weaker one, and Seno attack the stronger one.


"Vulx, I want you to attack the one you think is weaker and use a Tail Whip on it. After that I want you to use two Ember attacks on it as well. Seno, I want you to use a Tail Whip, and then after that I want you to use two Tackle attacks on the stronger Bidoof. Dodge if necessary, and take your time if you need to. Good luck guys!" Joel hoped that Vulx and Seno would be able to pull this off flawlessly. Seno had been training with Joel since forever. And Vulx was pretty fast, agile, and flexible, so the young man knew the little fox could pull it off easily. I mean come on, it was once a top contest Pokémon.

After he gave his Pokémon their commands, he focused a little bit of attention on the other trainer. Was he going to attack the other Pokémon too? Or just stand there and watch? If that were the case, he would send Chira to tear the crap out of the little fails of life. And still, the young man wondered why the other trainer still had his shirt off. It was slightly bothering him, not necessarily in a bad way. It was just hard not to look at. Anyway, battletimez, yes?


[Apologizes for the crappy post!]
