[@Zarkun] To restate what was said in an earlier post, any [i]attack[/i] would land automatically, not attacks. So, the first Astonish landed with no problem and did a little bit of damage. However, after the first Astonish, the Scyther had gotten luck with its roll and was able to forcibly break out of the webbing it was trapped in though it was still open to an attack as it was still regaining its balance. Unlucky for Murus, the Scyther had just barely dodged the second Astonish though the third Astonish met its mark and it was a crit. The Scyther stumbled back in shock that it was actually being pushed back by this Golett of all things though once the shock wore off, it was incensed. The humiliation of getting caught in a web and then to be pushed into a corner by this thing. Murus got off the Defense Curl just in time as the Scyther made a mad dash towards it and swung its claws using Fury Cutter in three quick consecutive slashes. What does Jason do? [hr] [@CitrusArms] So, by going triple battle rules, Electroweb can hit potentially hit three Pokemon. All three of the webs did hit and contracted around the birds before shocking them to the point that all three of them fainted. They were probably of a lower level compared to the one that she just caught. Due to the fact that Niblet took down three of them by itself, it gained a large amount of experience. [color=6ecff6][i][center]Niblet is now level 7![/center][/i][/color] Meanwhile, Kaebe threw its body weight for a fierce Tackle that was a critical hit. Some poor Rookidee just got completely rocked by some dino pup with a danger tick on its back and was sent packing into the earth. [color=6ecff6][i][center]Kaebe is now level 8! Kaebe learned Ancient Power! [/center][/i] [/color] Scamp the Yamper dashed forward as much as its stubby little legs would allow it to. Luckily, the flock was focused on Kaebe and Niblet trying to Rambo through this battle. He came back with the newly acquired Rookidee's ball in its mouth. It was a valiant effort and her quick wit and ability to keep a cool head in the midst of a dangerous situation was commendable, but her Pokemon were tired from their previous bouts and there were just too many of these birds. As much as they tried, it was impossible to avoid getting pecked by these birds. It was very obvious that she was getting overwhelmed. [color=fff79a]"Electrode, Thunderbolt."[/color] A booming crackle followed by a blinding blast of yellow electricity crackled and consumed all of these birds in one fell swoop. They all just dropped to the ground unconscious; their feathers all fluffed up by the electricity coursing through them. The one responsible was off to her left a bit off the path. It was a girl that looked about her age with blonde hair pulled back into an impossibly spiky ponytail that had various feathers somehow attached. She had these large, bright green eyes did betray the energetic demeanor that she just seemed to radiate with. Her attire was relatively simple that consisted of a white tank-top, torn up jeans, and red sneakers though her wrists were decorated in various different wristbands and bangles. [color=fff79a]"Jeez girl, you were just gonna fight a flock of Rookidees on your own? You've got some guts! I like that."[/color] [color=fff79a]"But you looked like you were in a bit of trouble, so I thought me and my buddy here would lend a hand. Metaphorically speaking."[/color] She patted the round Pokemon next to her. It was strange because this Electrode looked very different compared to most mainly due to the fact that it looked like it was made out of wood. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/xAmZ0K8.png?1[/img] [i][color=6ecff6]"Electrode, the Sphere Pokemon. The tissue on the surface of its body is curiously similar in composition to an Apricorn. When irritated, this Pokémon lets loose an electric current equal to 20 lightning bolts."[/color][/i] [/center] How does Stella respond? [hr] [@samreaper] "Well, yeah. Honestly, I'm not really surprised that it happened under his watch. The kid was born under the unluckiest star. It's almost supernatural how bad it is, but the kid makes up with his effort. That and he is one of the few guys here, including me, that is good with computers and tech in general. " He continued to explain. "Yesterday was his shift so he won't be manning the station for about three days. Scheduling is handled way in advance as to accommodate any future plans such as vacations or personal things such as holidays that correspond with practicing religions. Sometimes it has to be adjusted if someone is sick, injured, or some other emergency that would keep them from manning the security station. We all have digital copies and there is a physical one posted in our breakroom." [hr] [@Lunarlord34] [color=8882be]"The docks? Not a bad idea. It's a bit rough, but you two would probably be fine."[/color] Considering the circumstances of how he met Steph, he was more worried that [i]she[/i] would be the one to throw a punch. [color=8882be]"Well, I only arrived last night so I don't really know what's happening in the city currently, but I'm pretty certain if you are going to the docks then you are bound to hear something. It's just a general hub for most people in the city so I'd be shocked if you didn't hear something."[/color], Explained Basil. [color=8882be]"Well, seeing as everything's resolved, I'll get out of your hair. I do have some business I need to attend, but, despite the circumstances, it was nice to meet one Adriane's chosen trainers. I look forward to seeing how you all grow."[/color] He turned around and detached a Pokeball from his belt and tossed up in the air. In a beam of white light formed a very formidable draconic beast with two proud, red wings. Its very presence exuded great force and domination, a being with incredible pride in its strength. Just one look in its eyes would send shivers down the spine though Basil greeted his companion with a gentle smile and the creature lowered its head for him and received a pet. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/aror9Q4.png?1[/img] [i][color=6ecff6]"Salamance, the Dragon Pokemon. Salamence is an unusual Pokémon in that it was able to evolve a body with wings just by constantly wishing to be able to fly. While basking in the joy of flight generally keeps this Pokémon in high spirits, Salamence turns into an uncontrollable menace if something angers it."[/color][/i] [/center] Basil hopped up on the pseudo-legendary and sat down on the space between its neck and shoulders. He turned back to the two girls. [color=8882be]"Goodbye and good luck on your journeys. Also, hold onto your Litwick."[/color] Steph would soon understand why in a second. The Salamance beat its wings and with that came a great force of air to propel itself in the air. That gust would certainly knock Dusk off her shoulder. Very quickly, the Salamance was flying high in the air with Basil in tow. After a moment, Freya turned to Steph and asked, [color=ed145b]"To the docks?"[/color] [hr] [@Sanguine Rose] She had a moment of brief pause as she thought about what Faye asked and whether or not helping the kids catch Wooly was a good idea. [color=fff200]"It's...fine. It gives them something to do and it's not like the hill was that steep, so they probably caught up to it by now. Besides, Wooloo are lot more resilient than you'd think they'd be. I'm certain things are fine... Probably."[/color] If Faye was really that worried, she was free to go check on the kids to see if they really needed help with catching Wooly, otherwise she would just be continued to be led through the hilly fields and farmland. [hider=If she decided to check on the kids, disregard this.] It was about a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk where nothing eventful happened. It was just a nice, calm early afternoon with a mildly cool breeze signifying that Spring was just on the horizon. She was being led quite some ways away from the main path and they did have to sneak through some portion of someone's property until arrived at a lone, solitary tree in the middle of field. The girl looked up at the tree. [color=fff200]"Hey, you there?"[/color] She called up at the tree and after a minute the only response was just some very light snoring. Sighing frustratedly, she put two fingers by her mouth and did this ear-piercing whistle. [color=00a651]"Hoot?!"[/color] Chirped from the now rustling branches of a tree. The tree kept rustling and every now and again, the leaves seemed to emit a sparkle until the Pokemon dubbed as Mr. Hoots by the children, was now on a low hanging branch, giving the teen the stink eye, but then looked at Faye with great curiosity due to her being a very unfamiliar face. [hider=Mr. Hoots] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/dOaqd7S.png?1[/img] [i][color=6ecff6]"Rowlet, the Grass Quill Pokemon. At a distance, it launches its sharp feathers while flying about. If the enemy gets too close, Rowlet switches tactics and delivers vicious kicks. During the day, it builds up energy via photosynthesis. At night, it flies silently through the sky, on the prowl for prey."[/color][/i] [/center] [/hider] [color=fff200]"Okay, so this girl wants to try her luck and try to catch you. You game?"[/color] Meanwhile, the Pokemon just looked at Faye as if it was measuring her up. What does she do? [/hider]
