Liz walked through the woods, the sun was getting low once again. She chanced upon a lake, it was a massive party zone. She wondered what was with this town, everyone being drunk all the time, it was increasingly fustrating. As she walked by she heard a whistle in the air, she looked over and saw a little boy on the verge of tears with a Sableye. She walked over and sat next to him.

As she walked by she heard a whistle in the air, she looked over and saw a little boy on the verge of tears with a Sableye. She walked over and sat next to him.
"Hey sweetie what's wrong??" She asked him.
The little boy did his best to restrain his tears when Liz walked up to him. "It's that stupid Sableye. I caught him three days ago, but he doesn't listen to a word I say. He ran away from me while we were training. I've been chasing him for two days trying to get him back in his Pokeball so we can go home. And now... now I'm lost."
The boy's speech was delivered to the ground, not even bothering to raise his eyes. Sableye's back stayed against the tree that the two of them shared. He was having a good ole time, silently copying the boy's body movements as he spoke, in an exaggerated manner of course.
How is Liz going to help the sad boy and his impish Sableye? Also, FYI, Sableye was only MIME whistling... he doesn't have lips. Liz wouldn't have heard him.
Rin walked through the hills for quite a while without seeing any Pokemon. No doubt some Senrets were lurking around in hiding though. It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky with the town visible in the distance, that Run saw a Pokemon. It was a Phanpy.
The little creature came walking out from behind a rock. Boom, trainer and wild Pokemon made eye contact. Phanpy did his best to pretend this didn't happen however. He slowly, carefully walked backward behind the safety of his rock. Maybe if he was lucky, the trainer would just keep moving. He closed his eyes and pretended he was invisible.
Phanpy's attempt at hiding had turned up lame. As Rin called out for a Razor Leaf assult, Phanpy opened his eyes just in time to see Osajyin appear from his Pokeball. He flicked his head. Leaves began flying toward Phanpy. Out of pure defensive instinct, Phanpy rolled into a ball. His hard outer hide deflected every single leaf.
Poised and ready to strike back from his coiled up position, Phanpy prepared his next move.
Wow, you just had a really bad roll. Phanpy's result beat Osajyin's by 18. Luckily, that's not damage this turn (since defense curl is a stat booster. But if Osajyin looses the next roll, it will definitely be lights out.
Phanphy was almost in the clear, "Thank goodness this trainer likes to talk!" he thought.
But he wouldn't get far before Rin noticed his movements. They called out Razor Leaf, and a shower of leaves went rushing toward the Phanpy. Reacting by instinct once again, Phanpy began to use roll out. After all its only the natural move following a Defence Curl.
But his luck wouldn't hold up this time. He had turned his back to the opponent when he was trying to walk away. So in order to start his Rollout, he first had to do a 180 degree spin. The leaves came crashing down upon him before he could build any momentum.
It looks like Phanpy's Defense Curl didn't pan out in the end. Phanpy looses 15 Power and now has 2 Power left. What will Rin do next? (I bet she wished she had a Pokeball right about now.)
"How bout I talk to Sableye?? See if I can get it to listen, if not I can always battle it until it's tired and you can call it back than?? And than I will help you get home." She said to the little boy. She ruffled his hair and walked to the Pokemon. She called out all six of her Pokemon and the stood around her.
"Hey Sableye, listen you really should listen to your trainer, he worked very hard to capture you. The little guy only wants to help you get stronger, just like I help my pokemon. We have awesome adventures together, so get your head out your ass and help each other grow got it?? Or else you will always be weak." She stared at the Sableye and waited to see it's response.
◇◇◇ They/Them Pronouns for When Referring to Rin. Thank You! ◇◇◇
Rin could only wince in anticipation as Osajyin's Razor Leaf came raining down upon the Phanpy in front of them, but when the leaves settled, Rin knew it was the right call. Pushing themself off the dirt, Rin's cheeks poked out with their gleaming smile. Their first win of the day, and just outside of Sunsay! It couldn't get much better than this. It was just so cinematic. "This is a sign of good things to come, Osaja, so let's not keep those things waiting!" Looking down at the vulnerable Phanpy did make Rin realize again how easy it'd be if they could catch it, but no matter. They'd already made up their mind and made peace with the situation. "How about you give this buddy something nice to remember us by? Osajyin, show off your unforgettably handsome beauty with Synthesis." Stepping back, Rin let the rest of the battle unfold. Tapping their foot excitedly, Rin just couldn't wait to get to Sunsay, and really start begining their journey! Just as Osajyin's light began to get its brightest, Rin shot the Phanpy finger guns and cockily invited the Phanpy to their team. "I know, impressive. So join us next time we meet, yeah?" All Rin needed were sunglasses, and not only would they look like an arrogant prick, but also so that they'd stop damaging their eyes by looking straight at Osajyin's Synthesis all the time. Alas, such is the price of pride.

Sableye watched Liz as she spoke, and when she was finished, he bowed and nodded his head, as if in compliance. He then held up his hand in front of his face, palm toward himself. Slowly he looked back and forth between his hand and Liz. He did this long enough to create confusion. What was he trying to say?
He then tilted his head to the side and lowered two of his three fingers, the outside two. Where he learned that signal, who knew? But he sure enjoyed using it. With his other hand, he pointed at Liz's face. His whole body began to shake violently as he laughed in silence.
Welp, it looks like this Sableye has chosen 'the hard way'.

As Osajyin's body began to glow, the weakened Phanpy reacted in fear and balled up for another Defense Curl. This shielded his eyes from most of the light, but he did catch a glimpse.
Osajyin gains 1 Power (or would have if he wasn't still at full power). Phanpy looses 1 Power and still has 1 Power left.
FYI, you've battled the Phanpy enough. I know you want to get moving. I'll still award Osajyin another level if you want to walk away from the Phanpy and go to Sunsay.
"Are you alright?" She placed the back of her hand on Rin's forehead to gage their temperature, and looked none too pleased. Rin's face felt hot. "Do you feel pain anywhere other than your face? I could hear your collision." Rin's expression grew more awkward and emotionally constipated with every word. "Oh dear, you poor thing. Tell me if this hurts" Tentatively pressing Rin's nose for any sign of injury was the last straw. Rin bolted up and away from the Nurse Joy like she'd burned them. That was too much. That was- that was . . .'That was so embarrassing!' Rin pulled their coat over their mouth so they could burry a disparaging exclamation. 'Great, just great,' Rin thought as they stomped to no particular destination. 'One second into being in Sunsay and make a total fool of myself in front of a Nurse Joy no less!' The frazzled teen could practically feel the eyes of everyone on them even though they weren't. Their confidence always did love to play a vanishing act when around girls way too cute for Rin's health were around. 'They really are as pretty as people say . . .' Rin mused dreamily as an inkling of a smirk played on their face. 'But that's not the point!' Rin shook the away the thought and slapped their cheeks.
"Well the fun way it is than, rude." Liz turned and started walking away, she gestured with her hand.
"Chloris, show Sableye the beautiful Magical Leaf your known for." Bayleef began glowing as leaves shot out of it and took aim at the kids Sableye.
Sableye watched as Liz walked away. A battle? Pshh. Sableye wasn't scared. He stood up in defiance. He stuck both of his hands out. To the outside world, nothing was happening, but to Chloris, her surroundings were getting darker. Sableye was casting Night Shade.
This obviously didn't bother Chloris in the least however. Without mercy, she sent a shower of glowing Magical Leaves toward Sableye. The attack was super effective. Sableye fell to the ground hard and passed out.
The little boy rushed over to help his Sableye. He then looked up and screamed at Liz, "You monster! How could you!? What's your Bayleef at!? Level 30 or above!? You could have killed him!" Sure, Liz could try to explain the logistics of what being a ghost meant, but the chances of him listening.
Just then, two men came running up on the situation. "Ricky! Ricky! We've been looking all over for you. Don't scare us like that." The family reunited with many tears. After a few moments, they left, but not before oppologizing to Liz for the trouble. They even gave her a Rare Candy for her troubles.
As the family walks away, a strange light starts to engulf Chloris...
It was early afternoon by the time Rin made it to the Poke Mart. "I need stuff!"
The man behind the counter motioned them to the counter. "Hi there! Absolutely. We've got the goods. Just check out the monitor behind me here. All the prices are listed. Just select your items and hand me your Pokedex. And we'll have you checked out in a jiffy!"
Liz stood there with a deadpan expression on her face. As the dad's took the boy away she thanked them for the rare candy. As she put it away Chloris began glowing, she looked on with a slight content smile on her face. Chloris grew and got a bit bulkier the leaf became two antenna. Her color became a darker green, and her flower blossomed. As the light faded a brand new Maganium stood before her.
"And you wanted to fight me catching you, look at you now!! A big strong Maganium!!" She hugged the Pokemon and recalled it, with a new power hitter she knew nothing would stop her.

With a newly evolved Pokemon in toe, Liz was visibly on cloud nine, but she wasn't the only one on cloud nine.
From behind a tree, there had been a boy watching Liz's short lived battle. He wasn't trying to be sneaky. He was just taking a piss. As Liz began to walk away, the boy zipped up his pants, picked up his beer off the ground, and ran to catch up with Liz. His path wasn't exactly a straight one. "Hey! Hey! I saw tha battle. Jus wow! Wha else yu got on Ur teeeaam? Got any other goo ones? I take yu on if yu do!"
The boy reached for a Pokeball off his belt. It slipped out of his hand and landed on the ground in front of him. Out popped a Pidove. The boy shrugged his shoulders like, 'Whoops!'.
"So whaddya say?"
This Pidove is level 14. He will only battle if Liz uses a Pokemon BESIDES Meganium.
Liz was beep bopping on he way, enjoy ing the rush of a newly evolved pokemon. A drunk guy stumbled up to her and issued a challenge to any pokemon that wasn't her new Maganium. Liz thought about it for a moment and decided she knew the perfect little home wrecker.
"Are you sure you want to take little old me on?? A big strong man like yourself attacking a poor little girl?? My, my what ever shall I do" Liz said sarcastically, she tossed a pokeball out and a light shot out. "Enyo, be a sweetie, Fake Out this gentleman's Pidove." Liz stood back with a sickly sweet smile on her face, knowing her act would fly over the drunkards head.

The boy was already an experienced drinker (perks of growing up in Nasi Town). His motor functions were certainly impaired, but he caught onto Liz's act. Through a loud laugh he responded, "You're a feisty one aren't you!? Alright! Let's do this! Pidove, use Gust!"
Pidove began to flap her wings. Air started building up. But before she could gain any momentum, Mienfoo came charging forward. Her eyes were locked with the Pidove. She reared her fist back and then made a quick intimidating noise as she stopped the attack. Pidove was so thrown by these Fake Out movements that it quit flapping its wings and fell back to the ground, not injured, but definitely shaken.
