Liz walked until the sun began peeking over the horizon. She was making great time, she expected to be in Nasi town before nightfall!! As she walked she passed a wild Herdier, it was minding its own business but Liz could pass up a chance to get stronger.

[color=f49ac2]"Sorry Herdier, I need to strengthen my Pokemon for the next gym battle!! Come on out Hephaestus, activate your Z-Power!!"[/color] Chimchar popped out, channeling it's Crystal and began glowing.

Herdier didn't outwardly react to Liz's words, but he got the message. Hephaestus popped out of his Pokeball and began to activate the Z-Crystal on command. Since the crystal was Normalium, he instinctively began to use the one damaging normal attack in his arsenal, Scratch. 

While the whole situation was definitaly a drag, Herdier wasn't about to sit there and let the attack land. Instead, he charged forward with a powerful Take Down. His attack landed on the little monkey Pokemon before he was finished preparing his crystal powered attack. Hephaestus was sent tumbling. 

Herdier sighed as he got up, off of the fainted Pokemon. He then ran off into the tall grass.

[hider=Bonus Info: Please Read]Hepheastus takes a hard hit and looses 15 Power. He faints, and the wild Herdier escapes.

As you see, in RP battles, the Z-Crystal is just another 50% Boost. Your Normalium-Z would do much better in the hands of a Normal-type Pokemon. But oh well, Hepheastus gains another level. I'm sure that was your main objective anyways.[/hider]
