    Your Charmander's aim is true through the smoke, and the target is reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes. The other two Wurmple who were inside the smoke as well wander toward the source of the strange, strong heat. They stop at just the edge of the smoke, shivering in fear of the tremendous beast that shoots flames from its mouth.

    On the other side of the smoke, another Wurmple is taken down by your stealthy ally. The rest of them start to sense something is very, very amiss and make their way away from the quickly worsening scene.
    Pitch grunts as the stinger enters his body, injecting some sort of vile toxin into him.

    You little... he says, still clutching it by the head, and lobs it across the battlefield into a tree.

    The Wurmple flies across the clearing, through the smoke. You can hear a distant thud as it slams into a tree. It's definitely down for the count at the very least.

    This time, your Charmander's attack is particularly fierce. Perhaps he got lost in the moment, or maybe he's trying to defend you because you just got poisoned? Either way, the fireball engulfs both of the Wurmple, and then some.

    They're both burnt to a crisp, but you may have a bigger problem on your hands now. The heat lit the nearest tree on fire as well! You can't make it out very clearly through the smoke, but it looks like the start of a forest fire. The rest of the Wurmple flee the scene right away.

    Nodding his head firmly, he crouches low and points Orobas and Ten to the passing Miltank. The Pokedex said that proper positioning was the real key to effective Pokemon battling. This was as good a time as any to practice that theory. It wasn't every day that Pokemon weren't attacking you while you had backup supporting you from behind. While he didn't know Quinn too well if she was a Ranger then she probably knew something about training that he didn't.

    "Alright Orobas, just move into range and release your Hidden Power. If the Miltank looks weak afterward I'll throw a Pokeball. You don't have anything to worry about either, because Ten and I will be right behind you in case anything goes wrong, okay?"

    Completely random: Gardevoir kind of sounds like "God of war"


    "Neat! And Pete won too, but apparently it was pretty close. They were both down to their last Pokemon and he landed a Hypnosis to seal the deal. He's over there talking to his opponent," she says, pointing off to the left, where Pete is laughing with a fancily dressed girl. "Turns out they went to the same school back in Xylo! Small world, huh?"

    The final two trainers rejoin the group, and with that the first round is over. Jill Bales' voice comes over the intercom, "Congratulations to all our contestants who advanced to the next round!" A brief pause for applause. "We will have a brief intermission while we heal your Pokemon up for the next round. Please hand your Pokeballs to the attendants coming around."

    A dozen or so helpers muddle around, collecting your tournament Pokemon.

    "Take this time to mingle with one another! And those of you who have been eliminated, please feel free to stick around and watch the remaining battles. There should be some great ones!"

    The blast burst emanating from Orobas definitely leaves its mark on the pair of Miltank, but they prove to be sturdy enough to withstand it.

    "Miltank are pretty hardy!" Quinn shouts. "Url, go put a dent in that one."

    The big bear struts up to the Miltank in front of it and winds up a powerful punch before unloading onto the unsuspecting cow. The force knocks the target back a few paces, but doesn't quite knock it out.

    Nikolas clicks his tongue a bit, disappointed that the first attack failed to knock out their targets. Still, "Good job Orobas! Now hang back while Ten and I mop up the rest." For all its power, his little psychic type was a fragile thing when left up close for too long. He needed to end this, and soon.

    Readying one of Quinn's Pokeballs in his left hand, he points Ten toward the Miltank at his right side. "Ten, knock the wind out of that one while I catch the other!" Dashing forward a bit, Nikolas hurls the Pokeball and hopes Ten is able to follow up.

    Your Pokeball barely grazes the Miltank enough to register a capture attempt, aided by its inability to dodge due to exhaustion. The ball drops to the ground, rolling over a few times before finally clicking shut. You caught a Miltank!

    The Miltank closest to Quinn's pokemon barrels into it with its body...but it doesn't seem to do much. The bear responds by slashing across the Miltank's face, a considerably more damaging strike. Then Quinn quickly readies a Pokeball and throws it at the Miltank! A few moments later, she has captured her own Miltank.

    "Sweet!" she shouts. "We both got one!"

    In spite of himself, Nikolas cracks a small smile and does a small fist pump in celebration of the catch. Still, there were other Pokemon at large.

    Carn skewers one Wurmple on each blade and nonchalantly eats one as your team travels onward. He offers the Absol the other one, but the Absol declines.

    You travel for a while without further incident, then right as the sun is setting (not that you can really tell in the forest) the Audino finally wakes up.

    "Aud?" it mutters so faintly that only you could hear it.

    "Hmm," Praelia whispers upon release, quietly so Quinn wouldn't be able to hear. "These are new to me."

    Ten deftly sinks his teeth into the Miltank, sapping the last of its strength so that it faints onto the ground.

    "Wow, your Trapinch is real--whoa!"

    Quinn's praise is interrupted by the emergence of two new large, bull-like Pokemon! One promptly jams its horns into Quinn's Pokemon, which lets out a guttural roar of pain.

    "These are no pushovers, Url. Don't back down!"

    Nikolas is reaching into his pockets for a Pokeball when the bulls emerge from their cover, leaving the trainer aghast when one of their number slams into Praelia and all but runs her over. "P-Praelia..." is all he can gasp out loud when the small fighting type jumps back to her feat and into a fighting stance. Breathing relievedly, he looks over at the bull and glares at it. He could understand why the bull was attacking. You could hardly blame the creatures for protecting their herd but nobody hurt his friends like that. "A-ah! Praelia! It's too angry to think straight, you can outmaneuver it"

    Meanwhile, Nikolas watches the other bull Pokemon fighting out of the corner of his eye. Thankfully, Quinn seemed to have it well in hand.

    Pitch raises his hand, signaling his team to stop.

    Make a perimeter. Once we get the Audibo fixed, we can move again.

    If the Absol lets him, he removes the Audino from its back, setting it on the ground.

    As he does so, he looks over the wound, trying to gauge the damage. Carn and Outlet had given blood to keep this thing alive, and Pitch wasn't going to let it die.

    Feeling better? Pitch inquires, hoping the Pokemon was okay.

He could understand why the bull was attacking. You could hardly blame the creatures for protecting their herd but nobody hurt his friends like that. "A-ah! Praelia! It's too angry to think straight, you can outmaneuver it"

    Meanwhile, Nikolas watches the other bull Pokemon fighting out of the corner of his eye. Thankfully, Quinn seemed to have it well in hand.

    Nikolas
    Standard Action: Constructive Criticism

    Praelia
    Attack (Mach Punch): [roll0] AC 2
    Damage (Fighting): [roll1]
    Critical Damage: (2d6+8)[15]
    The bull's mind is clouded by seething rage so it has no concern with defending itself. That coupled with your encouragement leads Praelia's strike to hit the bull right between the eyes with massive force. All at once, the bull's body seizes up and topples over.

    One hit KO! On the other side of the battlefield, Quinn's bear finally maneuvers itself into an advantageous position and chokes the bull out until it's unconscious.

    The two Miltank take advantage of the commotion to slip away to safety, disappearing into the woods.

    "Phew. We got them, Nikolas!"

    Success!
    Orobas and Ten both gain 15*2/2=15 EXP.
    Praelia gains 20*1.5 (danger bonus) = 30 EXP.

    Your team dutifully obliges and spreads out to make sure you're not disturbed.

    The Absol looks on with concern as you set the Audino gently onto the ground. It nudges at the Audino with hits nose while you examine it.

    Your examination confirms what you probably already knew: the Audino is in rough shape. It has uncomfortably dark bruises on its stomach, back, and legs. It also has a barely sealed gash from where it was sliced open. "...Dino."

    Carn translates for you, "A little."

    Mechanically speaking, it had 9 injuries (good work, PTU rules!) when things looked really bad before. Your blood transfusion healed 3 of them to stabilize the Audino, and it's healed another over the past day of extended rest. 5 injuries so it's still heavily injured, but much better than 9.

    Breathing out a sigh of relief, Nikolas gathers his Pokemon around him gives everyone a congratulatory rub on the head. He always liked it when his father did it to hi. At least, before everything in his life took a turn for the worse... Still, the fact that everybody was okay now was a weight off his mind. "Good job guys. Especially you Praelia. I guess I really underestimated you huh?" He flashes her a small, even smile before turning to Quinn and responding with an uncharacteristically confident beam, "Mm, thanks for the help. I don't think we would have been able to take two of those...bull Pokemon without your help."

    Pulling two Pokeballs from his belt he holds them out in front of the Mienfoo and Trapinch. "Alright, we're close to town now so I think it would be best if we kept the two of you in your Pokeball for the time being. You're free to heal yourself before I return you though, Praelia. You did get hurt because of me..."

    Walking over, he picks up the Abra and cradles the Psychic type in his arms with a little more difficulty than he is used to. "Heh, you're getting pretty big now Orobas. But I guess that just means I can rely on you more, now. Ah, but just because I said that, don't think you're alone okay? You've always helped me so that means I'll always help you, got it? I think that's what Avu was trying to tell me about Pokemon being our friends....""

    Pitch nods, looking at the Audino.

    We'll get to Elrem as soon as we can. I didn't bring any bandages, so there's not much I can do to help you right now.

    Actually, there is one small thing,
    he says, thinking. If I were to put you in a Pokeball, you wouldn't move as we traveled. Might help you heal and stop wounds from opening. You have my word that, if you wish to leave, I will release you, he says, trying to not smile.

    If you feel it would help, we can try it.

    "Neat! And Pete won too, but apparently it was pretty close. They were both down to their last Pokemon and he landed a Hypnosis to seal the deal. He's over there talking to his opponent," she says, pointing off to the left, where Pete is laughing with a fancily dressed girl. "Turns out they went to the same school back in Xylo! Small world, huh?"

    Yep I'll have one up in a jiffy!


    The final two trainers rejoin the group, and with that the first round is over. Jill Bales' voice comes over the intercom, "Congratulations to all our contestants who advanced to the next round!" A brief pause for applause. "We will have a brief intermission while we heal your Pokemon up for the next round. Please hand your Pokeballs to the attendants coming around."

    A dozen or so helpers muddle around, collecting your tournament Pokemon.

    "Take this time to mingle with one another! And those of you who have been eliminated, please feel free to stick around and watch the remaining battles. There should be some great ones!"
    Leo hands over his pokemon and absentmindedly responds to Violet. That makes me wonder if there are any people here from Wrystone that I know. He scans the crowd looking for familiar faces that he might have seen training at the gym during the years he had observed the battles there.

    "You did great too! Url had enough of a fight with one of those Tauros, he would've been in real trouble if you hadn't taken care of the other one. Plus we both got a Miltank, so I'd say that went pretty well!" she says with a grin.

    Your Pokemon allow themselves to be returned to their Pokeballs. Praelia nods to you and says, "It was good exercise," before disappearing.

    Your Abra smiles kindly back at you, appreciating your kind words. As you look into those adorable eyes, you would swear you almost hear some thoughts coming from Orobas's mind to yours.

    After you travel for a while more, Quinn suggests you rest for the night. "This looks like as good a place to set up camp as any," she notes.

    Blinking back the surprisingly coherent sensation of psychic energy, Nikolas shakes his head slightly and breathes out to calm himself. "He's...just getting stronger is all. Nothing to worry about." Instead he returns his attention to Quinn and nods, "Mm, sure."

    The Audino gives you a faint nod of understanding as you explain the situation. The Absol noticeably recoils at your suggestion, but the Audino's expression belies a certain willingness to agree. They have a conversation in a foreign tongue, but you can pick up the gist of their talk through their mannerisms.

    The Absol speaks hurriedly and anxiously, while the Audino returns few words and shakes its head. Since that discussion is moving nowhere fast, the Absol turns to Carn and asks him some sort of question, as far as you can tell. Carn says something matter-of-factly, then follows it up with a phrase that sounds solemn. The Absol asks one more thing, and Carn simply nods.

    The Absol hangs its head over its friend, and the Absol gives it a few reassuring words. The Absol turns to you and nods reluctantly, then backs off a few paces so you can capture the Audino. Carn gives you some space as well.

    Pitch pulls out a Pokeball, gently tapping it against the Audino's head, watching as the energy easily absorbs the oh-so-weakened Pokemon.

    For a second it seems he is going to pocket the Pokeball. He simply stares at the ball for a few seconds, a strange expression on his face. Eventually he walks over to the Absol, standing right in front of it.

    He outstretches his arm, Pokeball resting on the palm of his hand.

    If that doesn't earn the stupid beast's trust, nothing will.

    As you look around the room, two trainers stand out to you. One, a boy about five years older than you, you remember watching beat Halle's father to earn his first pokemon. You can't quite recall his name, since it was so long ago and you never really met him.

    The other, a girl who used to frequent your family's cafe during her time in Wrystone, you recognize as Tess Bowers. She hailed from Maelstrom but found a second home in the Wrystone gym, spending almost a year as a gym trainer there. You remember that only a few weeks prior, she had moved on to earn her last badge from Trip up in Gateway.

    "Cool, you can have this spot and I'll set my tent up over there," she says before going a reasonable distance away.

    Orobas is also a lot better able to assist you in setting up your tent, his telekinesis growing more powerful and precise with every passing day. Quinn sets up a fire in the open area between your two tents, releasing her Pokemon to enjoy the fresh air. It really is a beautiful night on the plains just outside the outskirts of Xylo.

    The Absol blinks a few times, dumbstruck by your act. Nonetheless it clearly appreciates the gesture and gives you a grateful nod. It takes the Pokeball and carries it dutifully in its mouth, ready when you are to get back on the road. It doesn't look particularly comfortable holding a spherical object with those teeth, but it makes no fuss about it.

    "Nicely done," Carn says to you, admiring your super-effective olive branch.

    Nikolas nods appreciatively when Orobas aids him with camping duties. According to his Pokedex' navigational function, they were about a day from Xylo Central. With some luck they would make it there before nightfall even. From there it would be training, earning a gym badge, and seeing the long-forgotten city sights. He was honestly excited in spite of himself. Once inside the tent, Nikolas releases his entire team to share in the good cheer. Sitting in front of them, with Ten in his arms (to keep the little bug from wandering off...), he explains to them their destination. "A-alright guys. By tomorrow we'll be in Xylo Central. It's...a pretty big place but if you stick with me I don't think you'll get lost. I may not look like it but I'm actually a city kid. Once we're there we'll spend a day exploring the sights while I start training you guys up proper. Xylo is where I'll be challenging my first gym so I hope you guys understand how important this is to me. It was thanks to Avu's recommendation that I got to meet you all and because of that I'm gonna repay him back by showing him how well I can do in the world. I-I'm not the best trainer and I'm sure you guys have gotten pretty tired of my inexperience so I just wanted to say...thanks for all the support. It's only going to get harder from here but...I know we can do it if we just stick together, like we always have." Smiling sheepishly, he scratches at the back of his neck and looks around anxiously. "So...I guess that's it. You guys can uh, go to sleep now I guess. I just wanted to get a pep talk in before we get to the city you know?" Awkwardly, Nikolas sets the Trapinch down and trawls around on the floor until he finds a comfortable spot on he sheets. Tomorrow was going to be a big day, after all.

    All part of the game, Pitch whispers as silently as possible.

    Pitch once again scoops up Outlet.

    We'll keep going, Pitch says, despite the lessening amount of light. Bigger stuff came out at night, and bigger stuff would be more useful.

    Lighter, keep your tail as lit as possible. Inigan, Dilos, patrol the sides. Thales, you take point. Keb,watch the back with Rope. Carn, do as you will, Pitch says, swiftly delegating a plan to attempt to avoid being snuck up on.

    Absol, stick by me. You won't need to fight due to your precious cargo, understand?

    Formation planned out, Pitch and Crew begin to travel in to the fading night. The slight click of a switchblade being flicked in and out is the only sound other than the occasional hissing of the snake siblings. Outlet is still cradled in Pitch's other arm, carried much like a football. Despite the dark, the heavily injured Audino, and the aching arm from the Poison, there is a wide grin on Pitch's face.
