[@Rune_Alchemist] Update because the GM is terrible at reading. Natu cannot fly yet, because its wings are underdeveloped. It’s just really good at skipping. With this in mind, he’s been skipping the whole time. It’s still as fast, though. Natu jumped to attack Ritz again, and a similar exchange to the previous one took place. Ritz got in two punches but Natu struck another Peck, leaving Ritz on the edge of fainting while a majorly damaged Natu fell down and jumped away to seek another opportunity to strike, preferably without being countered. He was definitely aiming to faint Ritz. In the other direction, Mareep Thundershocked at Mienfoo who struck back at Mareep with Pound, while at the same time Ralia shoot a Confusion at Mareep and Cyndaquil shot an Ember at Mienfoo. Mareep got blown by physical force from both directions by Pound and Confusion, while Mienfoo took a Thundershock from the front and an Ember blast from the back. Neither of the Pokémon fainted, but Mienfoo cried out while heavily damaged and staggered, while Mareep also staggered and wouldn’t stay conscious from another hit. Froakie sent Bubble directly at Bonsly and Cyndaquil, and the two were unable to move out of the way. Two pairs of Super Effective blows hit the two, once again. However, Bonsly found an opening through the bubbles to Rock Throw and hit Froakie square in the face, sending the frog rolling back. Three Rock Throws from a higher-level Bonsly became too much. Froakie fainted. However, with numerous bubbles having hit Bonsly and Cyndaquil had taken quite a bit of bubbles now, and both on their last legs. This left Mareep, Bonsly and Cyndaquil all on the verge of fainting, while Froakie had fainted and Mienfoo was on the verge of fainting (because Anise’s Pokémon are under-leveled). Ritz was also on the verge of fainting, but Ralia was fine, leaving the advantage generally in Claire’s corner. Ellyn’s eyes gazed over the battle and came to a conclusion. [color=507173]‘Maple.’[/color] She called her partner’s attention, who was panicking keeping her fire-types holding off the horde of Fighting-types which were slowly gaining an advantage, Growlithe’s throat getting hoarse from repeated Roars. [color=db845c]‘What!?’[/color] Maple asked back, alarmed. [color=507173]‘We’re not winning this. They have more Pokémon we haven’t seen yet,’[/color] Ellyn told, voice very realistic. [color=db845c]‘Ooooough…’[/color] Maple’s spirit looked like it had been drained by Ellyn’s words, hands shaking a bit as they were surrounded by Fighting-types on one side and Claire’s force on the other. [color=507173]‘“No running from a trainer battle” in all glory, but mind if we bail?’[/color] Ellyn looked to Claire and Anise, gaze slightly perturbed from the surrounding situation. Anise smirked a little at the words, but was otherwise ready to give Mienfoo another command if they were going to continue. __________________________ [@Pikmin Eye] Sprout’s Vine Whip struck the Koffing head on, making the smoke balloon spin back a bit, still grinning and with smoke coming out the holes, before… [color=a2a1cc]‘KOFFING!’[/color] It flew quickly at Sprout and him with a Tackle, while the smoke of Smog started taking form. But, before that, Koffing was drained again by Leech Seed, Sprout regaining part of the lost health from the Tackle, and Martin threw the Pokéball. Vine Whip had been Not Very Effective, but Martin wasn’t aiming to take Koffing down, anyway. Growl reduced Koffing’s attack. Then. Koffing was hit by the Pokéball, and with a flash of light the ball fell onto the floor. It rolled once… [hider=result][i]CRASH![/i] [color=a2a1cc]‘KOFFING!’[/color] the Poison Gas Pokémon shouted out happily as it blasted Smog at Sprout. It was a damaging poison that attacked Sprout’s Grass type, even as Poison typing protected him from Super-Effective damage it still damaged him, and Smog as a special move wasn’t affected by Growl. No chance of poisoning, though. Some of the damage was returned by Leech Seed. Koffing is currently at a bit past half health. Make another move or just throw another Pokéball?[/hider] __________________________ [@Eklispe][@Joshua Tamashii] As said, they’re not free to do things. The Vast Plains of Route 6 still lie before them, along with all the Pokémon which it holds. In addition to what’s said above, a number of Bunnelbys had woken up from the thunder and were peeking out to gauge the danger but were otherwise fine. Anyways. What would the two do now?
