[@Zarkun] Well, shit. The kid was good enough to get his bearings and move quickly onto the offensive. Yeah, there was the old faithful strat of abusing double team. Unlucky for Jason, the Double Team was unable to fool the Rufflet and the Ralts got hit by a Peck in the face though not before suffering a critical hit by Slayer. The bird cried out in pain, but it still held in there. [b]"Peck its eyes out!"[/b] The poacher yelled out, the Rufflet followed his command and flew at the Ralts with a very angry beak. As for Murus vs. Litleo... Now here's the thing. Mudslap is a 20 Power move being used by a Golett, which has a pretty pitiful special attack stat. Was it super effective? Yes, but by damage alone Litleo would have won out if it were not for one very important factor. Mudslap typically gets in the targets' face and blinds them, lowering the accuracy of their attacks and this time was no different. The Litleo let out a cry as it was blinded by the attack and in a panic, it used Ember and the sparks of flame were shot indiscriminately. They were flying towards the poacher, the Rufflet, Murus, Slayer, and even Jason. Small amounts of damage were dealt to all Pokemon on the field, but nothing severe as they lacked any focus on a single target. [hr] [@Sanguine Rose] Huh, so she was one of the kids that Adriane picked. It was almost nostalgic to see a fresh-faced trainer take on the nigh impossible task of becoming the best of the best in their region though if the Champ of all people chose her among the hundreds of thousands of applicants, then maybe she had something special. Or maybe she did what his region's professor did with him and picked her because she liked an underdog story though he doubted it. This girl had confidence; he noticed that she was sizing him up with this line of questioning. It was actually pretty funny. The man smiled and said, [color=8882be]"No, I've been a trainer for a few years now, but I'm relatively new to the Evig Region. I recently just got a job in Nexus, but it won't start for a while so I'm just exploring the region until then. If you're taking the league on, then you'll probably see me around. Oh, my name is Basil Rivens by the way."[/color] [color=fff200]"Yip!"[/color] The Yamper made sure that it wasn't forgotten, and Basil just chuckled. [color=8882be]"And this is Vex. I caught him recently."[/color] said Basil, motioning towards the pup. [color=8882be]"Evig is a very odd region. I've heard that you could find every Pokemon in the world here, even Pokemon that have been extinct for hundreds of years in their respective regions. It's a very exciting prospect to find Pokemon that I can't find back home."[/color] He mused out loud to himself. His attention was brought back to the girl once he realized that he got too caught up with the idea of finding Pokemon he's never seen before. [color=8882be]"So what's your plan of action? You've got a long journey ahead of you if you want to take on the gym leaders."[/color] [hr] [@samreaper] Now it wasn't a bad idea to try and confuse the Riolu by making it unsure of where the bird would come from, but here lies the rub. It would have worked on any other Pokemon except Rilou. Why? Because it was the one Pokemon that could sense and detect Aura. All living things have it. It was how the Rilou was able to detect Tristan and find him in the first place. The Riolu was able to [i]see[/i] King flying around the tree due the Murkrow's inherent Aura so when it flew from below to strike, the Rilou was ready for it. It shifted its weight while in the air, turning to bring down a Feint, which in this case came in the form a straight jab at the same exact moment that King used Astonish. It was a trade of blows and by some incredible odds, it was a double crit. King was sent flying down to the ground though it had less than half of its HP while the Riolu skidded upon the ground. It too also had around half HP. It used Quick Attack, dashing straight towards the Murkrow. How does Tristan react? [hr] [@CitrusArms] And so begins the adventures of Stella and one very bitey boi! They decided to go to the park in the Trainer's School so they would have to wander around the city. There were definitely some stares from people who were looking at the shiny Tyrunt, a literal dinosaur dragon, just casually walking by this adorable girl. The streets were bustling with people going on about their daily lives, the construction of buildings, and various stores and other businesses serving a wide cliental. Besides that, there were also wild Pokemon around the city. There were two different kinds of bird Pokemon in competition for a sandwich that had fallen on the ground. It proved to be a tense stare down. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/w4bI0WW.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #016- Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. They are docile Pokémon that avoid fighting, kicking up sand in an enemy’s face or using Whirlwind to avoid battles. They have sharp senses of direction, capable of finding their nest or destination from very large distances. They inhabit tall grass where they search and prey on small bugs. [/center][/i][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/eGE2pGC.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #519-Pidove, the Tiny Pidgeon Pokemon. Where people go, these Pokémon follow. If you're scattering food for them, be careful— several hundred of them can gather at once. It's forgetful and not very bright, but many Trainers love it anyway for its friendliness and sincerity. [/center][/i][/color] Besides the birds, there were also some felines just lazing about that took advantage of the food offerings that humans gave them and otherwise would just be looting. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/saW2hoR.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #052 – Meowth, the Scratch Cat Pokémon. During the night Meowth are known to sneak around stealthily in search of prey and shiny objects which it adores with a passion. During the day, Meowth is known to laze around all day. In the dark, its eyes glow. [/center][/i][/color] Then there were scurrying rat Pokemon that seemed to be the prey of the Meowth when they felt like hunting. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/8tVj8aL.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #019 – Rattata, the Mouse Pokémon. This Pokémon is common but hazardous. Its sharp incisors can easily cut right through hard wood. Its incisors grow continuously throughout its life. If its incisors get too long, this Pokémon becomes unable to eat, and it starves to death. [/center][/i][/color] [hider=Trainer School] [img]https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f6/7e/c8/f67ec8899514ba9d8aee079e4ead27f4.jpg[/img] It’s a school. Kids around Grand Glory City flock here eventually to learn the basics of Pokémon battling, or there are trainers that come here only to attend the odd lesson before they embark on their big journey. There’s a patch of grass and trees on the side where wild Pokémon can be found, and every week, breeders and rangers are known to release a new species in the park to help introduce them into the ecosystem and give these kids a chance to gain experience against different kinds of Pokemon. And, of course, there’s plenty of Pokémon battling among the students as they do their best to learn. In fact… To the right immediately after one enters the school, there’s a list of students in a ranking-list on a wall. A huge list of the 50 top students, ranked in Pokémon battling ability, and there’s a thing that anyone who visits can challenge the list to get onto it temporarily. Leaving for too long obviously means falling off the list, but those who rank high gain some benefits and bragging rights. That aside, let's have a brief summary on what's happening here. Kids are having random battles and besides kids, there are just residents of the city who are just enjoying the scenery, and some are even having picnics. There were groups of kids that seem to be hunting after random Pokemon and a few of them were gathered around a natural pond. Seems like Water-Type Pokemon were an option. The wild Pokemon that you could tell are wild and catchable are as follows... [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/tpDtnlM.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #403 – Shinx, the Flash Pokémon. When its muscles extend or contract, it generates electricity. When it senses danger, a Shinx will let the electricity run through it, causing it to glow. If threatened, it uses its muscles to flash a bright light to blind the predator while it flees. [/center][/i][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/6GbnVq0.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #824 – Blipbug, the Larva Pokémon. A constant collector of information, this Pokémon is very smart. Very strong is what it isn't. Often found in gardens, this Pokémon has hairs on its body that it uses to assess its surroundings. [/center][/i][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/K9oGzLg.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #054 – Psyduck, the Duck Pokémon. Psyduck is constantly beset by headaches. As Psyduck gets stressed out, its headache gets progressively worse. It uses intense psychic energy to overwhelm those around it. [/center][/i][/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/MRR2Dj1.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokédex Entry #058 – Growlithe, the Puppy Pokémon. It has a brave and trustworthy nature. It fearlessly stands up to bigger and stronger foes. Extremely loyal, it will fearlessly bark at any opponent to protect its own Trainer from harm. [/center][/i][/color] Funny enough, you saw that outrageous boy from Kapoc's lab earlier. It seemed like he was fighting this wild blue bipedal dog Pokemon. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/jdaaoea.png?1[/img][/center] [color=6ecff6][i][center]Pokedex Entry #447-Riolu the Emanation Pokemon. It's exceedingly energetic, with enough stamina to keep running all through the night. Taking it for walks can be a challenging experience. It can use waves called auras to gauge how others are feeling. These same waves can also tell this Pokémon about the state of the environment.[/center][/i][/color] What will you do?

Dusk got yeeted at Mach fucking three. Have you ever seen those pilots who fly jets and how their faces get all pushed back by the G-Forces they experience? Yeah, now image that with this poor Litwick. Meanwhile, Evelyn was walking back to her office from the lab and noticed a white and blue blur with sparkles flew by a window followed by a scream. She stopped for a moment in a moment of pure confusion. [color=f7941d]What was in Kapoc's coffee?[/color] The Pidove, meanwhile, was flying away laughing its head off. It then noticed a strange noise getting close, not paying much mind to it until it got louder. Confused, it turned its head to the direction where that noise was coming from until it saw that unfortunate Litwick flying at it. The Pidove's eyes bulged out of its skull and was unable to react to what could only be described as a weapon that violated whatever the Pokemon equivalent of the Geneva Convention was. Dusk hit the bird with what could technically be described as the typeless move Struggle and it was a crit! The Litwick received a great amount of recoil damage. The Pidove was knocked out of the air, still barely hanging as it some fluttered down on the ground and began to cuss up a storm that sounded like a whole bunch of coos. Meanwhile, Dusk was falling down. If it fell from that height, it was going to be even less okay than it was already.
