[@Pink Madness] Flame sent her ember at the Flabébé, and the fireball impacted, sending the flower fairy spinning with a bit of a noise as little burn-marks appeared over the Pokémon. However, it wasn't enough. While Flabébé was highly damaged now, she wasn't out, and despite the damages she smiled happily and soared in for one more tackle. Unable to avoid it after all she had been through, Flame would be hit, and it became too much for the young Vulpix. Flame fainted. In reaction to this, the tenseness which had been all over Cathia's expression drained, and she breathed out. [color=b2dced]'I... I won.'[/color] She said, her expression and tone signifying relief above all else. [color=b2dced]'Would you look at that. I haven't lost yet, maybe I can do this after all...'[/color] She looked up at her Pokémon, daring to gain a little smile. [color=b2dced]'Thank you, Flabébé, for fighting with me.'[/color] [color=faeb87]'Flaaa~'[/color] The flying fairy-Pokémon clutching her flower, covered in burn-marks, smiled damaged yet still enthusiastic back at her trainer before Cathia directed her Pokéball at her and retrieved her back into the Pokéball. She then looked towards Donna, her expression now blank as she looked a little unsure what to say, but finally settled for giving a little bow. [color=b2dced]'Thank you, for being my opponent.' Kalmia hurried over, seeing one of her trainers had ended up in a spot of trouble, and then smiled comfortingly at Donna. [color=82c6cf]'Don't worry about it~ You'll do better in time! Here, let me heal up Flame for you.'[/color] She said, and started pulling some items from her backpack to do her work, a revive and some potions. _______________ [@Lasrever][@Eklispe][@Pikmin Eye] The battle continued, Ellyn's bird attempted using #2 as a continued shield to Leer down the defense of the opponents from behind. However, turns out, Hoppips don't make good shields. Assuming Winston would continue to Water Gun, one would hit the almost weight-less Pokémon and send her flying down the street waaaaay out from where the battle was supposed to take place, leaving Simon dashing away after his Pokémon and leaving Ellyn alone with a twitching eyebrow. After that, the Natu would soon be taken down, as it was forced to attempt attacking while dodging Water Guns but its own defense had been lowered by Tail Whips, so it was unable to do damage without considerable damage in return. It couldn't fight three Pokémon at once. [color=507173]'... Tsk.'[/color] Ellyn made an annoyed sound as the Natu finally fainted, and she retrieved her Pokémon to her Pokéball. She looked quite a bit irked. Well, it was likely better than the dispirited atmosphere that she had arrived with. [color=db845c]'Aaah, I'm sorry I wasn't much help...'[/color] Maple apologized to her, looking a bit more insecure about herself due to her loss. [color=db845c]'Y-you guys are really good...!'[/color] She dared, giving a smile to her opponents. [color=607ebf]'DON'T FRET! THE HERO OF THIS BATTLE IS BACK!'[/color] Simon announced as he came running back, Hoppip in hand, his expression shining as he was on the way back. [color=607ebf]'Eh?'[/color] He then made a noise as he saw the current state of the battlefield. [color=607ebf]'It's, uh, over?'[/color] [color=f291ab]'Pip!'[/color] #2 made a noise in his hands, though she could not do any further on this battlefield. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Abigail, Martin and Dawkin were victorious! Abigail, Martin and Dawkin each gained 1000 P for winning![/i][/color] [color=6ecff6][i]Winston grew to Level 6!

Horsea was caught in the flash, and couldn't maneuver out of the way to avoid being hit by the Ember. However, fire against water, the fireball was not very effective and after the flash Horsea could look forward again with determination, accuracy lowered but still very much in the game, only having been dealt a little bit of damage. Tyrogue was also subjected to the Flash, but it should be noted that the move affects allied Pokémon as well as opposing, so unless Houndour specifically covered his eyes for some reason, he would be affected as well. [color=7eab87]'Horsea.'[/color] Oaken commanded. [color=7eab87]'Approach the enemy Shinx and then Bubble at Houndour. Keep him on guard.'[/color] The Horsea quickly complied, swimming rapidly towards Shyn. [color=9e8d77]'Champ, use Tackle!'[/color] Rodger pointed forward, the older boy smiling in enjoyment of being able to give his own commands like this. [color=d9c3d4]'Tyrogue!'[/color] Upon the command, the Tyrogue dashed after Shyn from the other direction. This setup caused Tyrogue, while slightly slower than Shyn, to be in a position where he'd definitely catch up if Shyn attacked Horsea, due to Horsea's sudden notable proximity to Shyn. At the same time, Horsea spun to shoot fast bubbles in the general direction of Houndour, though the flash was causing them to be slightly inaccurate, easier to dodge. Regardless, they were making it more difficult to potentially aim or attack if Houndour didn't want to risk being considerably damaged by the super-effective shots. _______________ [@Rune_Alchemist] Before she left, Claire would receive a thumbs-up and a grin from Kalmia, who was happy to see one of her trainers victorious. [color=82c6cf]'Well done, Claire! One down, a world to go!'[/color] She laughed a bit. Jacques inspected her as well, though did not come with a comment. [color=82c6cf]'Now, before you go, have a few of these!'[/color] Kalmia just had to ensure to provide a few of the essentials before Claire was on her way. [center][color=6ecff6][i]Claire obtained 5 Pokéballs![/i][/color][/center] ... Assuming she, like, didn't reject them or something. Later moving east from Pureplain City, Claire would find that the amount of houses quickly thinned out as she headed for the less popular direction to exit the town from. The streets lost their polish and the nature lost its shine. Soon, it wasn't apparent that this was a route at all. What remained was a simple yet maintained gravel road for travelers to traverse should they desire this pathway towards Lakewatch Town. Once here, there was a prevalent feature which Route 2 was known for. The sheer moisture. [center][h2]Route 2[/h2] [url=https://i.imgur.com/2nerWJd.jpg][img]https://i.imgur.com/cu9kbwb.jpg[/img][/url][/center] The nearby lake flowed in on this area, leading to wetness breaking through the ground. The wetness of it would make itself known to any who stepped into the wild plant-life lingering around the traversable road as well to any nearby nose as it rose up into the air. The water bolstered the nearby plants, and many smaller rivers ran under wooden bridges that the road kept going over. These rivers flowed into the nearby woods, fueling them with resources to grow ever tighter and ever larger. Those are the nearby Infested Woods, and venturing to them requires simply stepping off the road in the direction the trees stand the tightest. The route is not empty. While nothing compared to the amount of people running back and forth daily across Route 1, the road of Route 2 still sees traffic. Maybe just people appreciating the calm going for walks, fishermen and other workers of nature, or trainers hunting for Pokémon. A little here and there stood wooden shacks or smaller buildings of those who wanted to live in a little more solitude. In the wet grass beside the road, there appears to be two youngsters engaged in an intense battle, between a Weedle and a Goldeen. On the left side was wet grass and the lake, along with several huts for fishermen. On the right was the forests, growing tighter the deeper one went. On the front was rivers and bridges over them, as well as the path towards the cliffs housing the Wet Caverns and the passage to Lakewatch Town. To the open eyes, there were multiple Pidgeys to be seen flying around, but to see any less obvious Pokémon, delving into the terrain would become a must. Chose your actions. Here's a few suggestions. 1. Find Pokémon. [i]Can be specified what kind of Pokémon is being searched for, and how you search.[/i] 2. Train Pokémon. [i]With this command, we can jump ahead in time and skip posting about grinding.[/i] 3. Seek trainers. [i]There should be some here and there. Note, some may challenge you instead.[/i] 4. Hurry along. [i]Avoids further confrontations and try to get safely to the next destination.[/i] 5. Specify. [i]If you specify what you want to do, the GM will take it into account and tell the result.[/i] 6. Trigger random event. [i]Force the GM to use his imagination to make a scenario for you.[/i] 7. Area Specific: Fishermen Huts. [i]See what the fishermen over there's got going.[/i] [hider=Route 2, known Pokémon]Common: #16 Pidgey. Uncommon: ??? Rare: ??? [/hider]
