Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

Got an IC post up. Sorry for disappearing.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

Josh and Matt shifted their attention to the Mudkip now that the Pokemon attacking them were knocked out. Anthony was currently fighting him. Josh decided to help him by using Confusion. Matt noticed the rind on his head glowing, and extended a hand to stop him. "I believe he wants to fight alone."
Upon looking around the room, Josh realized that Matt was probably right. Almost everyone else was waiting for him to either defeat the Mudkip or ask for help. He secretly hoped it would be the latter, but the way things were going, it looked like he wouldn't need anyone else to step in.

A smile appeared on Kyle's face. "He thinks we're still behind the jeep. Now's our chance." He kept his voice at a whisper to avoid being heard by the bandits.
David seemed unsure. "What about the other guy? If he sees you going for his friend, you're fucked."
"Aim your gun at the door, then. If he comes out from behind cover, shoot him."
Dave gave a small nod. He clearly didn't think Kyle's plan was well thought out, and he was only going with it because he couldn't think of anything better.

Both of them came out of cover at the same time. They did exactly as Kyle planned - Dave aimed at the door while Kyle fired several shots at the bandit who was currently aiming for the jeep.

Matt put Josh down for a moment to use Light Screen and Reflect. Josh was hit by Mud Slap from a Shellos. He was weak to ground moves, but since it was a weak attack from a low-level Pokemon, it didn't do much. He retaliated with Confusion, but unfortunately didn't quite knock it out. Just as he was about to attack again, a Tympole flopped over to him and used Supersonic. His vision went blurry at that point. He couldn't tell which Pokemon were his friends and which ones were enemies. He could barely make out two Pokemon in front off him. He used Confusion on one, and it appeared to fall over, although Josh couldn't really tell. The second Pokemon used Bubble on him, but then got hit by a Psyshock from the side. As he regained his senses, he saw that the Tympole and the Shellos were both knocked out. Matt picked Josh up again, and Josh used Smokescreen in order to help his teammates.He noticed that a bunch of the Pokemon were confused, and all of them were under the effects of what appeared to be Sweet Scent. Now that Matt's Light Screen and Reflect, as well as Josh's Smokescreen were up, they were sure to win.

Both mechanics ducked down as soon as the guy pulled out his gun. "You son of a bitch I'm going to fuck you up!" They took the time to reload while he was wasting his bullets on the side of the car. The shooting then stopped, and they heard the sound of a bolt catcher.

Kyle saw an opportunity. "He's out. Let's try to get closer while he reloads."

Dave gave a slight nod as they ran behind another car, which wasn't too far from their jeep. They both had their guns pointed at wher the bandits were before, but both of them seemed to have taken cover somewhere. They ducked back down, knowing that guy would start firing at them again any second now.

That little moment of freedom that Josh had was nice, but now that they were on land again he had to go back in the bucket. The whole group was following this Goomy, but Josh trusted him about as far as he could throw him. He was attacking them a few minutes ago, after all.

Hex fluttered up beside him. "Hey," she said. "That M is pretty strong, right?"

"Yeah, that attack did a lot to me." He looked at all of the burn marks he now had. His left fin, which was clear before, was now a charred black colour. His tail also had a pretty large burn mark on it. There was another one on his head, but he couldn't see it. "I think these will heal eventually. Right, Matt?"

"Yes, of course." Matt said. "I'm not sure how long it will take, but those marks will disappear eventually."

"OK, that's good."

That one Omanyte that attacked Josh certainly wasn't the last. There were tons of them now. Josh went underwater to fight off some of them. Five Pokemon were swimming towards him - Three Kabuto, a Tympole, and an Omanyte. He sent a black cloud of smoke at them, and although it slowed them down, they were still coming for him. He used Confusion on the Tympole as he started to back away, but it wasn't enough. One more Confusion brought the Tympole down, but the other four were still moving towards him. He looked behind him to see even more Pokemon coming from that direction. They had him surrounded now. There was no escaping.

Suddenly, the water was filled with a huge jolt of electricity. All of the Pokemon surrounding Josh were immediately knocked out by it due to their weakness to electric moves. Unfortunately, Josh had the same weakness. After the electricity stopped flowing, he floated to the top of the water. He was still conscious, but just barely. That attack really did a number on him.

Matt, who was putting up Reflect and Light Screen to help his teammates, began to panick. He was frantically looking around, searching for any sign of Josh. When he finally found him, he immediately floated over and picked him up out of the water. He then shot an angry look at the Magnemite. "You imbecile! There were more than just wild Pokemon in there, you know!" He looked down at Josh. "His injuries don't appear to be too bad. If we give him an Oran berry he should be fine."

He put Josh back in the water for a moment while he searched through his bag, hoping he had one. Thankfully, he did. He gave it to Josh, who almost immediately felt most of his energy return to him. "Thanks, Matt." He looked over at the others, who were now fighting a Goomy. "Let's go help them."

They headed over to where everyone else was. Right after Hex sent it flying, Josh used Confusion, hoping that would knock it out.

Matt waved to the other group of explorers. "Hello." He approached them, careful not to startle any wild Pokemon on the way. "It's nice seeing other explorers in here. So, are you on a mission, or just training?"

As soon as Matt got to the water, he let Josh out of the bucket. Josh's excitement was understandable. After being stuck in that bucket since this morning, it was nice to be able to move around freely. So nice, in fact, that for a moment Josh wasn't paying attention to his surroundings. He didn't notice the Omanyte sneaking up behind him until it had its tentacles wrapped around his head. "Get off me!" Josh used Confusion on it, and it ended up letting go and falling into the water. It wasn't knocked out yet, though. It came back up and used Constrict again, but this time Josh's Confusion knocked it out. "I guess I should watch my back from now on."

I've edited a couple posts. Hopefully it's good enough. Oh, and happy birthday, KaBling.

Sorry. I edited the part with the Shellos, and I'll edit all those posts with Arnold and Archie tomorrow.
