@Karkinos The bonus categories are there to give a hand in how to think, if you want further prompt.
Now, a resolution is an action that has been decided on at the end of something. New year's resolution is that we decide to do something here as the past year ends, the resolution of a meeting is the list of actions they've decided to go through with during said meeting, at the end of a journey a character might make a resolution of what they need to do, etc...
I think. That's the understanding as I've understood it. Some bonus categories make me hesitate. Like, the first one. Is it like Titanic itself made the resolution to sink? I'm a bit unsure if I got the meaning of the word correctly, as it isn't one I commonly make use of. Anyways. I need to consider further what I will do, because my ideas so far have been incredibly plain. I need to commit a bit more thought to this myself. Hahaha.

Alright. Here we go. Let me stir something up in the chaotic skull kettle I've got in my head.
@Joshua Tamashii Alright. Nicely posted. I can see where this is going. Haha.
@Delta44 Gotcha. Thank you for letting me know.
@Delta44 Gotcha. Thank you for letting me know.
I posted something. @Eklispe@Pikmin Eye If you'd like to interrupt her somewhere, then tell me, and we can chime in your questions or statements at that place. Potentially. As much as it feels like she's holding a speech, you can poke in anywhere you like.
@Delta44 How's it going?

Pichu stopped momentarily in confusion of where to look as Litwick jumped into his own Smog, using it as a smokescreen. However, it should be noted that Smog is made to poison and damage, not to smokescreen, hence Litwick took a little damage entering it. Not much, as Ghost-type resists Poison, but a little, and barely managed to avoid being poisoned. Joshua smiled at his little Pokémon being in a spot of trouble, and gave his command.
‘Don’t try to find him! You can handle an Astonish! Let it hit, don’t flinch, then burst out a Thundershock at him!’ He smiled happily and commanded. Pichu obeyed, electricity charging as he stared into the Smog… and then Litwick hit, from an angle Pichu hadn’t entirely been looking in.
'CHUUU!' The astonished Pichu let out a yelp from the hit and released his thundershock, which he still managed to get through, but due to Litwick’s minimized size the sparks failed to hit and the damage had been done only to Pichu. Litwick would also have felt the static electricity of Pichu, endangering paralyzis, but avoided being affected by it. But, Pichu wasn’t out of the fight yet…
‘Chase him down! Thundershock!’ Joshua tried again.
Pichu did his best, turning to the Litwick that had taken things to close combat, and lept with high speed towards Litwick intent on making him feel the consequences of bringing things into close combat. 'Pichu!'

Ledyba blinked, almost startled as the Tackle actually hit. It didn’t do all that much damage, as Ralia’s earlier Growl left its mark, but enough to be memorable and possibly important in the long run. Ledyba turned with the intention of tackling again, using the same strategy of trying to hit multiple at once by turning as he tackled. He attempted to keep track of which Ralia was the real one, when he was hit by a Confusion.
‘L-ledyba...!’ He made a noise, spinning a little in the air before getting control back, losing track of which Ralia was which. The Confusion left a considerable mark on him, the Ledyba was considerably damaged. Still strong, but it was unclear if he could handle another one or not. He flew in for another Tackle. … Thooough… he was going to miss, aiming at the wrong side.

‘Hueh?’ Joe and Lotad was left standing there as Donna left, utter confusion in his eyes. ‘B-but, I just wanted a Pokémon Battle…’ He said, his voice sounding so crushed. Oh, no, Donna. You’ve crushed Joe’s spirit. This will undoubtedly result in his start of darkness, where he will eventually take out his anger against the world and become a fierce supervillain whom all fear. He might even step up his crimes… to littering. Oh, the horror.
Moving on a little bit, Donna eventually found a girl laughing by the side of the road, surrounded by birds.
‘Hahahaha! This is so much fun! They all love me! Maybe I should become a Bird Keeper?’ So, the only reason she was surrounded by so many birds was evidently the fact she had positively covered the area around her and her clothes with bird seeds, and the Pidgeys didn’t really care about coming close to her if it meant getting food. Numerous of them were looting the bag of seeds which she had simply placed behind her. A single Pidgey, standing aside looking up at her, appeared to be the only non-wild Pidgey of the group.
Pokédex Entry #16 – Pidgey, the Tiny Bird Pokémon. They are docile Pokémon that avoid fighting, kicking up sand in an enemy’s face or using Whirlwind to avoid battles. They have sharp senses of direction, capable of finding their nest or destination from very large distances. They inhabit tall grass where they search and prey on small bugs.
‘You!’ She pointed with gusto at Donna, walking by. ‘I’d like to try out my birds! Would you be up for a battle?’ She requested, her face bright with happiness.
Lass Audrey would like to battle!
That one single Pidgey that isn’t actually wild jumped around, looking at Donna and any eventual Pokémon she might be bringing with her, preparing himself for potential confrontation. The same goes for this trainer as it did for the last one. Of course, even if Audrey might want to battle with all her birds, only one at a time unless the trainers themselves have decided to use more. So that one Pidgey.

The woman listened to the two boys for a bit, nodding to them and standing gracefully.
‘It was my pleasure to help. I am Laurinda, Pokémon Trainer from Highhill Town.’ She reached forward with a polite hand and shook Martin’s, as he offered his. Going by her age and the power of the Delphox, it was quite a given that she has been at this for a while.
‘Tips, huh?’ Laurinda mentioned as she retrieved her hand and looked away into the woods for a bit. Delphox, meanwhile, stood with arms crossed and looking at them, sparing a single glance at the Nincada looking at her before deciding that wasn’t worth her time, pulling out her wand again and starting to idly gaze into the fire on the end of it, looking at who knows what.
‘Then, allow me to say.’ Laurinda looked at the two boys once again. ‘Going through the Wet Caverns isn’t necessarily worth it. It’s a long, dark and hazardous tunnel with plenty of hard-to-traverse water and hostile Pokémon. As well, even if you reach Lakewatch Town, Route 6 and the Frozen Cave are both as treacherous, you’d be going against hardships after hardships unless you go north, which is the same direction you’d end up in if you took Route 1. In addition, the Lakewatch Gym is a Major League one, not the kind you could challenge at this time. That Gym Leader is… deceiving. You might be fooled into thinking she’s easygoing and kind, but her battle-style is ruthless…’ Laurinda shivered a bit, remembering some past event.
‘It is possible to traverse at your level, but I’d settle for perhaps catching some Pokémon around the entrance and then heading back for Route 1. If you want to go to Lakewatch Town, then getting a ferry from Highhill or taking the long route around the lake would be preferable over trying the Wet Caverns unless it’s for bragging rights. What I’d recommend, is to go for Highhill Town after getting some Pokémon from here and the entrance of Wet Caverns. There’s a nice little Minor League Gym there for new trainers to test their mettle against.’ Laurinda’s face broke into a little smile as she finished saying the last part before continuing.
‘That is, if you can find the Gym Leader. She’s usually lost in the Silent Forest around the Silent Shrine. If you don’t want to search, then she’ll be back. Eventually. She’s known to be gone for days at a time. But, yes. Unlike other Gym Leaders that tend to go all-out regardless of the opponent…’ There was a momentary sound of distaste in her voice during the last sentence, but it vanished again. ‘… she tends to adapt to her opponent, making her a good place to start.’ This was said with a note of fondness in Laurinda’s voice as she spoke of Highhill Town’s Gym Leader.
‘Other than that, do stock up on items. A failing of many stronger Pokémon Trainers is that they can handle most dangerous things by themselves and forget to stock up because they usually don’t need to be prepared…’ She briefly indicated herself with a little guilty smile. ‘… But you don’t have to fail at that just yet. Pureplain City should have a pretty good selection of Poké Marts for such. As you just learned, Repels can be pretty good to have around, if you have the money for it.’
‘And, for more immediate advice…’ Laurinda looked into the woods again, looking a bit worried about something. ‘… Infested Woods is placed way too close to Pureplain City where new trainers come from. I know the general consensus is “don’t tell them unless they ask, they’re to explore for themselves”, but in this case, I don’t agree. The depths of Infested Woods are way too dangerous for new trainers who just wander in. There is the Outer, Middle and Deeper Infested Woods. Outer Woods would be perfectly safe, if it wasn’t for “Queen”. New trainers CAN survive in the Middle Woods, assuming they’re prepared. It’s dangerous, but not excessively so. I’m not going to discourage going there. But the Deep Woods…’
‘Delph.’ The fox-Pokémon pulled on Laurinda’s sleeve with her free hand, the Delphox’s expression having turned a tad more focused and serious looking into the flame at the end of her stick. Laurinda sighed, looking defeated.
‘… Looks like another child is going to get deeper into Infested Woods than they can handle.’ Laurinda informed in a somber tone. ‘Then, guess it’s once again time for me to pick him up before-’ Delphox poked her trainer with two fingers. ‘-pick her up before she-’ Laurinda corrected, but the fox poked her trainer with two fingers again. Laurinda looked at Delphox with concerned eyes. ‘It’s more than one.’ She stated, and Delphox nodded. Laurinda sighed. ‘… I need to get them before they completely regret becoming Pokémon Trainers.’ Laurinda said, startíng to stride towards the deeper woods, determination in her steps. She stopped momentarily to look back towards the two boys.
‘Good luck, now. Take risks, but don’t be foolish about it. Think of how comfortable or challenging you want your trip before you make your choice. Don’t be afraid to ask around for information, but also don’t be afraid to make your own decisions. I’ve recommended the comfortable path, perhaps you think differently. Think about how you want to make your own journey. It’s yours, after all. ’ With that, she looked entirely intent on walking off, Delphox walking slightly in front of her and to the side lightly directing the way to go.
Of course, if any of the boys have further questions, they can just stop her and ask away. Otherwise, they’re free to continue on with their next actions.

@ProPro Well. I kind of would want something to happen, if there's a good idea in the works. I'm good on my own, otherwise.
I'm good on my own regardless if something happens or not, but I'd be interested in anything that could happen, so to say. Haha.
I'm good on my own regardless if something happens or not, but I'd be interested in anything that could happen, so to say. Haha.
@Joshua Tamashii I… will note that Litwick likely isn’t immune to his own poisoned smog. After all, Smog would still have effect when used on a Litwick. Sure, Poison Pokémon can likely move through it without the slightest pause, but you’re not a Poison Pokémon. That said, Smog isn’t THAT dangerous, and this tactic is still valid. Haha. Nicely posted!
@Eklispe Seeking advice from the more experienced trainer, are we? Oh, lord. An opportunity for the GM to actually say what he’s been itching to say for ages. Hahahaha. That aside. Nicely posted~
@Rune_Alchemist You know, you don't have to make yourself post within a single day of my post. I mean, it's entirely fine if you want to, but taking a little longer, ESPECIALLY right after that kind of announcement, is entirely fine. XD
So. I will say that I usually expect all battles to be you saying how you attempt to dodge and I decide if it’s a hit or not, so you don’t ever need to make the decision that “Oh, I could write myself dodging that, but to seem realistic I’ll get hit”, so to say. That said, if you’re fine with getting hit, that’s alright. It’s just a dice-roll I don’t have to make, with likelihood modifiers. Haha. Nicely posted~
@Pink Madness Awww, poor Joe. XD
I will remind that I will allow Rosa to have basically healed using Morning Sun basically whenever. I don’t really use PP as the games do. … Which makes me consider, whenever someone gets their hands on Wish, they’ll be able to fully heal their party whenever. … … … Ya know, MAYBE I’ll limit the uses of Wish, just that specific move. XD
Otherwise, nicely posted~
@Pikmin Eye Oh, good. I was afraid maybe I wouldn’t get to say her name in a natural way next post. Hahaha. Thanks. Anyways. Nicely posted.
… And yeah, I’m peeking in to say I still exist. Christmas is, every year for me, a rush of multiple meetings with multiple branches of the family in addition to multiple back-to-back birthday parties and generally a whole lot of work and mess. I should be back to working order after new-years. This is just me saying “Hiya, I haven’t vanished”. I’m honestly surprised you’ve had the time to post this time of year, then I need to remind myself, not everyone’s schedules look like mine. Hahaha.

Through the use of Foresight, Venonat could track down which of the illusionary copies was the real one, and she directed the sound-wave in his direction, causing a sensory overload and Sno became Confused.
‘Alright! Now, Tackle your confused opponent!’ Vivia directed, pointing forward at Sno.
‘Ven!’ The Venonat replied, and took off running forward at Sno’s struggling form, when…
She succeeded. Despite the confusion, Sno successfully managed to unleash a spray of Powder Snow, directed at her opponent. Vivia’s eyes twitched a little at the frustration, but the battle continued. Sno was still confused.
‘V-Ven!’ The Venonat sounded out, having taken her second hit of the match and it was building damage, but yet the Pokémon charged forward through the cold to deliver a tackle of its own, and Venonat would likely reach just as Sno could make her next reaction.

@Joshua Tamashii
'Piiich!' Pichu noticed the lack of flames, not to mention likely heard Amelia’s voice giving a different command, and gave Thundershock a try. The little Pokémon charged his electricity and let the sparks fly over the slowly fading smog, striking in the vicinity of Litwick.
Due to that Litwick had not moved yet, he was still struck by parts of the lightning, despite being smaller. However, it didn’t do more damage than it would have usually, and he was yet still good to go, and the coming attacks would have more trouble hitting the smaller body of Litwick.
‘Keep it up, buddy! Dodge fire, shoot lightning! No fire? Shoot!’ Joshua smiled brightly as he gave Pichu the commands, looking like he was genuinely enjoying the match, and Pichu looked much the same, the little yellow mouse smiling with determination as he took off, running in a circle to become a harder target for Litwick.

Ledyba was… apparently not paying attention. After having been hit by the cry of Ralia, lowering his attack, he spun around to face the three again and charged. After having briefly glanced over them, he took speed again and charged one of them.
‘LED!’ … Though, regardless if he had been just unlucky or made an incorrect assumption, the bug charged the wrong illusion, which then resulted in him being hit by a Confusion, sending him briefly spinning off to one side before turning to face the copies again.
‘Ledyba...!’ Still in the game, though somewhat damaged, Ledyba tried to aim himself so that he would Tackle through multiple copies at once, though as this likely grew difficult if Ralia moved as well, he’d at least try to adjust to get two…!

As soon as he applied the Super Repel on himself, the Volbeats all around scattered in all directions. That smell did not agree with them at all. It was like a minor explosion had taken place at the heart of that shining tornado, and the Volbeats spread out and fled out, back into the rest of the woods. This included the Volbeats which Nincada had been fighting, as the smell was just too unappealing. Honestly, Nincada and Atlas would smell it too, but be somehow less affected by it by virtue of being trainer-Pokémon.
Now, as Atlas spun around and headed back, a distinct lack of Volbeats anywhere near Martin after that, Martin would be able to clearly see the scene before him, Dawkin currently facing the Illumise…
@Eklispe
The Illumise briefly tilted her head curiously a little as Dawkin gestured, though that quickly turned out to be a trick. The ball sailed towards its target… but unfortunately, it seemed like the opponent was a little too experienced for that. The bug quickly side-stepped, in a movement that looked a lot like a Quick-Attack, but used for the purpose of dodging. No problem with the Pokéball, it just hit a tree and fell harmlessly to the forest floor, it could be picked up again, assuming Dawkin remembered it. The Illumise smirked playfully at Dawkin, looking mildly amused at his action. She heard Atlas coming, but… she was flying higher than Dawkin’s height. She could dodge.
Illumise kept her distance, and with considerable speed dodged Atlas’ Mud-Slap. Every move looked calculated, previous battle-experience obvious and she kept her eyes focused on Dawkin rather than Atlas as she dodged, her look mischievous.
‘Illumise~’ She sounded out happily, as she took off towards him, a slight pink gas shaping along her movement. It appeared she intended on using Sweet Scent again. Given how high in the air she was, there was little Atlas could do with a physical move-set to stop her. Chances to take her down before she attracted a new storm of Volbeats looked fairly grim, when-
A stream of fire suddenly flew through the air, in-between the Illumise and Dawkin. The Illumise stopped short, her eyes widening and staring at the flames. They were pretty intense, clearly a high-level move, a stream of fire causing heat more than warming up the surrounding individuals and likely fairly difficult to look at, it being so bright. Martin, who had been able to oversee the situation, likely saw it approach.
‘Not this time, “Queen”. Play it nice.’ A commanding voice of an older woman sounded out from further away, someone approaching.
The lady, she who had stood in the distance, now stood considerably closer. She had a white and gold-colored dress of sorts, her black long hair tied up in a shape yet still hanging far. Her expression was calm and serene, her legs long and body fairly tall. In front of her and at her side stood what was unmistakably a fox on two legs, her limbs red with fur hanging alike a robe and torso as well as head and snout in yellow, long yellow tail behind her and her hand holding forth a stick with a flaming end, clearly just having been used to fire the previous stream. The fox’s expression was confident, yet calm.
‘… Illum…’ Didn’t look like Illumise was too fond of that command, but nonetheless, didn’t look like she was intending on defying that one. Unless otherwise addressed, or attacked, she’d turn around and start flying off into the distance.
‘She has become more unruly lately. Been making Outer Infested Woods less safe…’ The woman muttered, before smiling at Dawkin. ‘Thank you for your help. I was having trouble thinking of any way to solve the situation that wouldn’t have resulted into hundreds of torched Volbeats, a solution which would have been highly regrettable, not to mention possibly dangerous for the young man over there.’ Referring to Martin. Delphox stashed her wand into her… sleeve of fur…? ‘Phox!’ … Before “hmpf”-ing by herself, looking at the two present young men.
Through the use of Foresight, Venonat could track down which of the illusionary copies was the real one, and she directed the sound-wave in his direction, causing a sensory overload and Sno became Confused.
‘Alright! Now, Tackle your confused opponent!’ Vivia directed, pointing forward at Sno.
‘Ven!’ The Venonat replied, and took off running forward at Sno’s struggling form, when…
She succeeded. Despite the confusion, Sno successfully managed to unleash a spray of Powder Snow, directed at her opponent. Vivia’s eyes twitched a little at the frustration, but the battle continued. Sno was still confused.
‘V-Ven!’ The Venonat sounded out, having taken her second hit of the match and it was building damage, but yet the Pokémon charged forward through the cold to deliver a tackle of its own, and Venonat would likely reach just as Sno could make her next reaction.

'Piiich!' Pichu noticed the lack of flames, not to mention likely heard Amelia’s voice giving a different command, and gave Thundershock a try. The little Pokémon charged his electricity and let the sparks fly over the slowly fading smog, striking in the vicinity of Litwick.
Due to that Litwick had not moved yet, he was still struck by parts of the lightning, despite being smaller. However, it didn’t do more damage than it would have usually, and he was yet still good to go, and the coming attacks would have more trouble hitting the smaller body of Litwick.
‘Keep it up, buddy! Dodge fire, shoot lightning! No fire? Shoot!’ Joshua smiled brightly as he gave Pichu the commands, looking like he was genuinely enjoying the match, and Pichu looked much the same, the little yellow mouse smiling with determination as he took off, running in a circle to become a harder target for Litwick.

Ledyba was… apparently not paying attention. After having been hit by the cry of Ralia, lowering his attack, he spun around to face the three again and charged. After having briefly glanced over them, he took speed again and charged one of them.
‘LED!’ … Though, regardless if he had been just unlucky or made an incorrect assumption, the bug charged the wrong illusion, which then resulted in him being hit by a Confusion, sending him briefly spinning off to one side before turning to face the copies again.
‘Ledyba...!’ Still in the game, though somewhat damaged, Ledyba tried to aim himself so that he would Tackle through multiple copies at once, though as this likely grew difficult if Ralia moved as well, he’d at least try to adjust to get two…!

As soon as he applied the Super Repel on himself, the Volbeats all around scattered in all directions. That smell did not agree with them at all. It was like a minor explosion had taken place at the heart of that shining tornado, and the Volbeats spread out and fled out, back into the rest of the woods. This included the Volbeats which Nincada had been fighting, as the smell was just too unappealing. Honestly, Nincada and Atlas would smell it too, but be somehow less affected by it by virtue of being trainer-Pokémon.
Now, as Atlas spun around and headed back, a distinct lack of Volbeats anywhere near Martin after that, Martin would be able to clearly see the scene before him, Dawkin currently facing the Illumise…

The Illumise briefly tilted her head curiously a little as Dawkin gestured, though that quickly turned out to be a trick. The ball sailed towards its target… but unfortunately, it seemed like the opponent was a little too experienced for that. The bug quickly side-stepped, in a movement that looked a lot like a Quick-Attack, but used for the purpose of dodging. No problem with the Pokéball, it just hit a tree and fell harmlessly to the forest floor, it could be picked up again, assuming Dawkin remembered it. The Illumise smirked playfully at Dawkin, looking mildly amused at his action. She heard Atlas coming, but… she was flying higher than Dawkin’s height. She could dodge.
Illumise kept her distance, and with considerable speed dodged Atlas’ Mud-Slap. Every move looked calculated, previous battle-experience obvious and she kept her eyes focused on Dawkin rather than Atlas as she dodged, her look mischievous.
‘Illumise~’ She sounded out happily, as she took off towards him, a slight pink gas shaping along her movement. It appeared she intended on using Sweet Scent again. Given how high in the air she was, there was little Atlas could do with a physical move-set to stop her. Chances to take her down before she attracted a new storm of Volbeats looked fairly grim, when-
A stream of fire suddenly flew through the air, in-between the Illumise and Dawkin. The Illumise stopped short, her eyes widening and staring at the flames. They were pretty intense, clearly a high-level move, a stream of fire causing heat more than warming up the surrounding individuals and likely fairly difficult to look at, it being so bright. Martin, who had been able to oversee the situation, likely saw it approach.
‘Not this time, “Queen”. Play it nice.’ A commanding voice of an older woman sounded out from further away, someone approaching.
The lady, she who had stood in the distance, now stood considerably closer. She had a white and gold-colored dress of sorts, her black long hair tied up in a shape yet still hanging far. Her expression was calm and serene, her legs long and body fairly tall. In front of her and at her side stood what was unmistakably a fox on two legs, her limbs red with fur hanging alike a robe and torso as well as head and snout in yellow, long yellow tail behind her and her hand holding forth a stick with a flaming end, clearly just having been used to fire the previous stream. The fox’s expression was confident, yet calm.
‘… Illum…’ Didn’t look like Illumise was too fond of that command, but nonetheless, didn’t look like she was intending on defying that one. Unless otherwise addressed, or attacked, she’d turn around and start flying off into the distance.
