@fer1323 Yeah. Some of the villains in the games are pretty messed up. (Ghetsis, for example. The way he treats N... And his threat to the player character in Black and White 2.)

Pokemon Spiral

@Iatos Ok, here are some guidelines for fights between humans. It's fine to get into a fight, just no ridiculously excessive martial arts moves. You can land a punch, but just remember the other guy is also going to be a good fighter, you won't be able to beat him to a pulp. If you want to go the "fighting dirty" route, there's nothing stopping you from having your Eevee use Sand Attack on someone, and then trying to get past.

Also, bear in mind how the Pokemon are likely to react if people attack their trainers.

@OtomostheCrazy All Pokemon involved in this gain a level afterwards.

Pokemon Spiral

@OtomostheCrazy That was reasonable, you didn't do anything over the top.

@fer1323 We're gonna have to run for it now. Don't worry, the Aerodactyl's attention isn't on us. We should bump into the other group.

Amber Pine

Route to Mesalon

@fer1323 @Noxx

Even in her shaken-up state, Amber gave a small smile. "No problem," she replied to Oscar. "In any case, it'll be good for them to spend time with other Pokemon." Kabuto had already crawled over to the Torchic, and Yanma flitted around from Oscar's team to Nyxx's. She didn't seem to be taking her earlier loss to the Buneary all that badly.

While the Pokemon socialised, Amber studied the selection of minerals. It was generous of the guy to offer free items, but there didn't seem to be anything she'd find useful... at least, not right now. One particular stone caught her attention, a grey rock encased in clear blue crystal. If that was what it looked like, it would make any rain summoned by a Pokemon last longer, and from her research into fossil Pokemon, she knew some Kabuto moved faster in rain. Something like that could be worth holding on to.

"If that's a Damp Rock, I'll have that one, please," she said. After the man handed the various rocks to people, he stood up, closing the bag and hefting it onto his shoulders.

"Yeah, as soon as I get to Windshire, the first thing I'm doing is reporting this to the professor," he said, his gaze constantly flicking from the group to his surroundings, in case any of the birds returned. "Yet more crazed Pokemon... Well, I'd better hurry. Again, thanks. Come on, you two." He returned Woobat and Cubone, then turned and set off at a brisk pace down the route before any more Pokemon could attack.

Amber frowned. "Crazed Pokemon?" she muttered to herself. The trader hadn't bothered to explain, but she couldn't say she blamed him for wanting to get out of there. Was this a common occurence here? If so, why? Putting away the blue rock, she took out a medical kit and treated the injury. "Well that was weird... I haven't seen Pokemon behaviour quite like that."

A screech overhead snapped her out of her thoughts. Lifting her head, she gasped in awe. "Is that...?" The distant shape soared closer, revealing its full magnificence. "An Aerodactyl! A real live Aerodactyl! I've always wanted to see one!" Her eyes shone with fascination. She hadn't expected to see such a Pokemon so early on her journey, but it figured that some lucky trainer from Windshire would have one, people did seem to like their Flying types there. "Such grace, yet such strength!" She kept her distance, but she assumed whoever owned the Aerodactyl would know what they were doing.

"Oh crap..." Or not. The Aerodactyl swooped around, shrieking like a furious beast, shooting beams of light from its mouth every which way. This Pokemon was even more out of control than the Rufflets, and much, much more dangerous. She pulled away as a tree crashed to the ground several yards from the group, its trunk splintered and blackened.

"Run!" she yelled, hauling Nyxx to her feet. "Kabuto, Yanma, return!" With both Pokemon safely inside their Pokeballs, she sprinted for it, checking that the others were following. Today was certainly turning out eventful... the wrong kind of eventful.

Pokemon Spiral

@Heckno12 That's the plan, I think @Noxx and I might be waiting for each other to post though...

@Iatos Thanks for editing.

@OtomostheCrazy People really underestimate non-damaging moves like Rain Dance.

Pokemon: New World

♪♫♪ Cecilia "Cici" Taylor ♪♫♪

Location: Central City

@Zarkun

"Food's always welcome," Cici replied. "Especially as I didn't get to finish supper, thanks to a certain somebody." The Swablu, still perched on Cici's head, gave several melodious chirps. The new trainer laughed again. "Yes, I'm talking about you. If you insist on coming in, you'd better behave yourself. I can get you some food if you're hungry, just leave mine alone."

Fluttering down, the Swablu chirruped as if it wouldn't even dream of causing mischief. "C'mon then," Cici said, taking the Pokeball she'd recently bought from her bag. She had a feeling she might regret this, but there was something about this Pokemon she just couldn't resist. Besides, its evolved form, Altaria, certainly didn't seem like a bad one for a music lover to have.

The Swablu perched on the wall for a few seconds, studying the Pokeball, before spreading its fluffy wings and flying around Cici's outstretched hand. Forte squeaked, bouncing, as if urging the Swablu to come along. It looked as if he'd forgiven the other Pokemon, just as his trainer had.

Would the wild Pokemon change its mind at the last minute? It was worth at least trying. Cici threw the Pokeball and watched, waiting. It moved a few times, then lay still. "Yes!" Picking it up, she grinned. She had her second Pokemon. A possible troublemaker, but a new companion nonetheless. Humming a cheerful tune to herself, she headed inside.

"Hello, you," she said with a warm smile as soon as she spotted the Froakie. She couldn't see Tommy anywhere, but he'd probably be back up soon once he was ready to play the gig.

Pokemon Spiral

@Iatos Yeah, and taking down the grunts that easily? Remember there are several of them and they wouldn't react too well... You can still be a badass, just keep things reasonable.

Also, that's your cover as an Eevee breeder well and truly blown.

@fer1323 Gym battles are going to be difficult but fun. I'm looking forward to the first gym leader being introduced...

Pokemon Spiral

@Iatos Yeah but... That was still a little over the top. And they're trying to kill us with their Pokemon, so we've got to defend ourselves.

You could still possibly get into a fight with one of those guys, but just remember they'd fight back.
