Hey Im Jordan
VaunivorWith breakfast disposed of, Olivie set her sights on the next task in her mental checklist: shopping. Seldom did the nineteen-year-old frequent marts, stores, malls, or other retail outlets, for she did always seek to contradict typical teenage stereotypes, but this morning a quick pitstop could not be avoided. On the way out of the Pokemon Center, she met Bernard, already showered, dressed, and ready for adventure. A few moments of conversation led to the construction of a quick and informal plan for the young man to have his own meal whilst Olivie took care of her boring errand. Having had her full of the nice scenery during her earlier battles, she let no element of the quaint town distract her as she made a beeline for the Poke Mart. Once there, she snatched two pokeballs from the shelves, and one transfer later she could boast of a full compliment of six. All that remained was to fill the remaining three with Pokemon, and now that Olivie would be accompanied by someone less inclined to wander the forest in circles for hours, she knew just where to capture some.
A scant few minutes later, the duo departed Feyhollow Town, and disappeared together into the surrounding woods with three Pokemon each by their sides. Naturally, Olivie brought Verrine, Gespenst, and trusty Buck, but in addition to Painkiller the Bisharp, Bernard selected two new companions from his store the likes of which the brunette had never seen. One, who he referred to as Romeo, acted as bizarrely clownish as he looked, but aside from his antics seemed pleasant enough. The other, a rabbit named Gretel almost as tall as her trainer, radiated an aura of gloominess. Olivie's pokedex dutifully informed her that they were a Mr. Mime and a Lopunny, respectively. To her, neither looked particularly tough or cool, but with such a dweeb for a trainer it could hardly be helped. Thus, the entourage of eight began their adventure for the day, strolling with wide eyes beneath the dappled, verdant canopy.
Today, however, the Pokemon seemed scarce. Perhaps Feyhollow's creatures, so active and mischievous during the night, remained tucked away in hidden resting places during the daylight hours. Eventually, the group stumbled upon a trail. The dirt path before them lay in disarray, thoroughly marked by the scuffle of tiny feet. Unafraid, Olivie put on her fighting gloves and along with her team abandoned the path to forge her own way through the underbrush. Bernard and his own Pokemon followed. For another twenty minutes or so they followed the winding trail across the grass, through the bushes, and around the trees, until they came upon a large mound of earth sitting in a little clearing amongst the trees.
Immediately, four Pokemon burst forth from their burrows. As the little beasts growled threateningly, Olivie made sure to frame them with her pokedex for a quick readup. ”Nidoran♀ has barbs that secrete a powerful poison. They are thought to have developed as protection for this small-bodied Pokémon. When enraged, it releases a horrible toxin from its horn. Nidoran♂ has developed muscles for moving its ears. Thanks to them, the ears can be freely moved in any direction. Even the slightest sound does not escape this Pokémon's notice. ” Olivie looked up from her device to find the micelike creatures unmoved. ”Territorial, huh? You think just because this pile of dirt is your home, you get to act like tough customers when I come around? Huh!?” She pointed a finger, and together Buck and Gespenst leaped in front of her. Laughing, Bernard told Romeo and Gretel to join them. The four squared up against the four enemy Nidoran, each finding a target.
”Don't touch 'em directly! Buck, use Round! Gespenst, Energy Ball!”
”Psyshock, Romeo. Gretel, use Swift for me, okay?”
Olivie's Bidoof set up a hideous chatter, the sound from grinding his teeth manifesting as a wave of force that blasted into one of the male Nidoran. Repeating his turret-esque setup from earlier in the day, Gespenst planted himself before charging up an energy ball. In the time it took for him to do so, the female Nidoran he opposed darted in and scratched him, using a horn to deliver the Poison Sting. Meanwhile, Bernard's Mr. Mime just obliterated one of the other Nidoran, fainting it instantly. The last one, however, didn't receive an attack from Gretel the Lopunny; in fact, the sullen rabbit didn't lift a finger. Only after the wild Pokemon attacked her with Poison Jab did she even halfheartedly hold out her paw. A bright yellow glow shone from the fur that shot a burst of starlike darts at the Nidoran, but they barely even fazed it. It began to attack again, but at Bernard's command Romeo stepped in to lift the purple beast up with his Psychic powers and slam him into the dirt mound.
Soon, only the Nidoran attacked by Buck remained, who the chattering hadn't greatly affected. Instead of telling her Pokemon to strike again, Olivie jumped past her partner to slam a pokeball into the surprised poison-type's face. Before it could counterattack, it dissolved into a red stream of light that disappeared into the ball, and seconds later the deal was done. ”Man! Talk about easy pickings. I hope this thing ain't a wimp for long.”
She looked to Bernard with accomplishment, but her rival seemed bothered by something. He scratched his chin, saying, ”I dunno. Usually, if there's this many Nidoran in one spot, it usually means an nest, but the mom and dad should have appeared by now.”
Before he even finished the ground began to shake, and with perfect comedic timing, the earthen mound burst apart. From the dust emerged two larger, formidable Pokemon, which managed to look very mean despite being only about four feet tall. Erring on the side of caution, the trainers and their Pokemon opted to book it. As Olivie sprinted, just ahead of Bernard and very glad he didn't get to see the vigorous situation happening with her front, shouted, ”You just had to say it, dumbass! Why are you runnin'? Painkiller could take 'em!”
Already breathing heavily, Bernard yelled back, ”Don't wanna risk it! Those were Nidoking and Nidoqueen, poison-ground types! If they both used Earthquake, we'd be screwed!”
”Upht!” After opening her mouth to reply, some kind of bug flew in, and Olivie hurriedly proceeded to spit it out before shutting up and focusing on running. She'd had enough protein for one day. All six Pokemon were hard on their heels -even Gespenst and Gretel- as the group ran deeper into the forest.
