The shellos decided to try to attack me with mud slap, though, I really don't understand how something like that could even hurt someone, after all, it is just mud. I then counter-attack with vine whip, apparently dealing quite a bit of damage to the shellos, who tried to counter that with harden, meaning that my next attack won't really do all that much. I simply continued on with vine whip, using the fact that it didn't attack to try to scope out a weak spot on the thing. I may have found one, however, when I tried to attack it, the head got in the way, meaning that my attempt to critical failed, at least, it failed this time. It was still standing after my attack, but just barely. It surprised me with water pulse, but I still didn't take much, thanks to the fact that I was a grass type. Thankfully, it didn't confuse me, either, so I actually got to joke around by saying "Thanks, I was getting kinda thirsty anyways." the shellos didn't take the joke too well, but before it could attack again, I smacked it with a vine whip, hitting the weak spot, which was actually on its back, and just above the thing's heart. The shellos passed out, surprised that I managed to attack it there, as well as sustaining a few too many attacks. I was finally done with that, and hurried towards Mister Mudkip, though, the emolga blocked my path, saying "We'll be here if he calls on us, but for now, we should wait. This is Anthony's fight, after all." I nodded, and sat down after that, now ready to attack the mudkip, should the time come.

"Ack, um, I mean, you were always such a fool, of COURSE I could control you. That's what smart pokemon tend to do to dopes like you." Mister Mudkip said to me after taking my attack and countering with another water gun. Again, it seemed as if the water simply slid off of me without harm... of course, most special attacks tended to do that with me. I then responded to his little 'speech' with "These nice pokemon weren't controlling me, and that snivy guy over there, he gave me his only oran berry. I don't think it's all smart pokemon that do that... I think it's all mean, twisted, or otherwise evil pokemon that do!" I then use absorb on him, healing back whatever health I may have lost from his water gun. He then pulls out his own oran berry, and says "What, you mean one of these? Well, I guess I should be proud that you actually figured out how to use one, then." he then eats the thing right in front of my face, obviously healing whatever damage he just took. Just how dumb did he think I was? Of course I knew how to use one of those, it's basic life... if I didn't know how to eat, I'd be dead from starvation by now. I would have pointed that out, but I was too angry to do anything other than attack... so, that's what I did, I used absorb on Mister Mudkip, again, saying "You know what? These names you came up with aren't too great. I think I'll just call you by your normal name, now, Martin!" that seemed to shock him, and caused him to panic, again, saying "Wh-what do you think you're doing!? You can't just tell other pokemon who I am! Shoot... now they know who I am, and where to find me more easily. Uh, I mean, who the heck is Martin?" He then used Mud Slap on me, apparently trying to make sure that my attacks won't hit, but, like last time, I hid my eyes behind the helmet to prevent that issue.
