Muay sat next to him, stretching for the journey ahead, 30 minutes of rest seemed to have done him good. The journey into the desert would be difficult no doubt, so a stop at Dune Town was the next best course of action. In order to survive the first leg to Dune Town, he would need some protections from the harsh sun in the form of a turban made from the scraps of his old shirt. With ease, Ray rapped the shirt around his head, and let the sleeve hang around to the other opposite side of his head. Muay was also out fitted with a turban, who gladly took on the accessory. With one last look of his pack, which help his Pokedex, Potions, Pokeballs, food and water, Ray took to his feet. [color=Lime]"Ready Muay?"[/color] he jibbed, glancing down at his partner. [b]"Rio!"[/b] he barked excitedly. Ray smiled and started off, and Muay followed closely behind. The desert was no joke. Ray realized not just 5 minutes into his trip. The cruel sun beat down on the duos head, it's one malevolent eye unblinking, and the sky was it's co-conspirator with not even a wisp of cloud to soften the harsh rays. Some Pokemon took shelter in the shadows of the rocks where the sand was not hot enough to roast them, but there was no shade large enough for Ray and Muay. Each step sunk into the searing sand, the air was thick and hazy, each breath like drowning in larva. He hadn't even reached the 'real' desert yet, and he was already struggling. Despite his struggle, Ray trudged on, Muay following close behind, this was their endurance training after all. Soon, Ray lost all sense of time, his mind went into auto pilot as he trudged through the hot sand that was sprinkled with blades of grass. That would prove to be Ray's down fall. Out of nowhere, a rogue foot found its way into his ankle. Ray barely let out a scream as he was thrown to the ground. [color=Lime]"Oof!"[/color] he coughed as he fell face first into the sand. [i]What? Who?[/i] A cackle clued him in to the the culprit. Standing were Ray once was a lizard-like Pokémon. Its oval eyes are set to the sides of its head, its teeth constantly exposed. There was a small red scale on its yellow head. Below the yellow portion of its head, its body is cream-colored with thin arms and a red, scaly belly. It carries its loose, yellow skin around its legs, resembling trousers. Some of the loose skin seems to trail off to form or cover a tail. Ray's eyes widened, then squinted. He was just sweep kicked by a random Pokemon?! [color=Lime]"I can't let that slide lil'hodlum!"[/color] he growled as he got to his feet to face the Pokemon. Muay quickly jumped to his side, already in a defensive stance. The Pokemon reared its large head, snickering, it was a confident one. [color=Lime]"Lets go Muay!"[/color] he barked, Muay seconded his order with a 'Rio' of its own. Both Muay and the Pokemon stared one another down, although the opponent seemed to staring Muay down a bit to hard, unnervingly hard. It was Leering. Ray took this opportunity to take out his Pokedex, and gain info the the Pokemon. The Pokedex quickly chimed in; [i][url=http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/d/dc/559Scraggy.png/600px-559Scraggy.png]Scraggy[/url], the Shedding Pokémon. Proud of its sturdy skull, it suddenly headbutts everything, but its weight makes it unstable, too.[/i] Ray ignored most of the information provided, the only thing that caught his eyes, was its typing; dark/fighting. [color=Lime]"Change of plan Muay, were catching this lil'hodlum!"[/color] he decided.[color=Lime]"Lets go! Muay, [b]Quick Attack![/b]"[/color] Instantly, Muay went into action, dashing at Scraggy with tremendous speed. A white aura surrounded his body as he dashed across the desert. The Scraggy was stunned slightly, surprised by Muay's burst of speed, but it quickly recovered. With a angry leer, it quickly threw sand, point blank into at Muay's eyes. Dazed, Muay slowed to a crawl, attempting to rub the sand out of its eyes. [color=Lime]"Come on Muay dodge!"[/color] Ray yelled, but it was for naught, as Scraggy quickly landed a [b]Low Kick[/b] right into Muay's gut. Ray cringed, feeling his partners pain. [color=Lime]"Lets go, this is your chance, [b]Bullet Punch![/b]"[/color] he screamed as Muay fell to one knee. Quickly, Muay gritted its teeth and regained it sight, without a forethought, it he lunged at Scraggy, its paws glowing light-blue before it let out a flurry of punches, so fast that Ray couldn't follow them with his eyes. Scraggy took the punches right to its gut and face before falling on its back, weakened by Muay's attack. This was his chance. [color=Lime]"Muay back off, I got this!"[/color] he called giddily as he searched his pack for a Poke Ball. With little time to waste, Ray pressed the button, and threw the ball or the Scraggy, with digitized him and sucked the reddish haze into the it. Ray watched nervously as the ball shook, once, twice, 'ping'! It was done. [color=Lime]"YES!"[/color] he screamed as he ran to grab the Poke Ball, he had just the caught a Scraggy. Unfortunately, he couldn't let him out just yet to get to know his new teammate, Muay needed a treatment, and they needed to get to a Pokemon Center. [color=Lime]"Great job Muay."[/color] he cooed as he sprayed Muay with the magical liquid that was the Potion. [b]"Riooo!"[/b] he barked happily, glad to have won its first battle. Soon, the Potion finished its work, doing its best to heal him, but he needed more. Ray frowned at took to his feet. [color=Lime]"Lets get going Muay, we need to hit Dune Town before we can actually get to know out hard headed friend."[/color] he huffed as he resumed the trek. The white, bricked walls and homes of Dune Town shown in the distance.
