Prologue to Disaster (PTA) IC

[Asdfth]

Drake sees the herd of upcoming Pokemon. "Dang it Leon once again you get caught in these situation that could easily be avoided. Drake moves to I21 and Nightingale moves close at J21

[Kantolin]

"...whoa!"

Ken hurried towards the encoming mob, slightly tense. They were clearly poison, dripping poison and all - that meant Kleid could probably really smash into them with bulldoze.

"Phan!"

...but that reminded him that Solvering had his own targets as well. He nudged Viktor towards the mob for a moment, hoping his were sufficient. "Solvering - smash that one!"

The conscious gulpin faints while the sleeping one continued to snooze. The horde advanced menacingly, and they trilled their anger at the defeat of their companions. The lead gulpin, who was larger than the others, spewed poison at Nightengale.

Meanwhile she nodded at Francis to back up some and group with the rest of their allies so they could fight the horde as a group.

"Phan!" Exclaimed Solvering, as Ken turned - focusing his attention on the larger group. He noted a new person had stepped onto the road - but pokemon were being sent forward, and hopefully that would keep the pokemon's attention.

And hopefully this wouldn't be too much for Kleid. "Okay - Kleid!" Ken called out, releasing his pokemon - who came out amidst a handstand.

"Chop!"

He flipped to his feet, pointing forward - to note a gulpin right in front of him. Still, he recovered gracefully, clasping one fist into the palm of his other hand. "Ma - Chop!"

"Kleid! Bulldoze!"

"Maa - " Began the machop, reaching backwards - then swinging at the air. Raising one foot, he stomped the ground in a fashion akin to a sumo wrestler. "CHOP!" He called out, loudly, as the ground in front of him quaked.

Ken sends out Kleid, to K-26. Kleid then moves to N-23.

Attacks fly across the battlefield as chaos reigns. Volta and Iragore fell the lead gulpin while the ground explodes in front of Kleid as he puts dents in half the oncoming horde. Squint sinks his fangs into another.

Poisonous green gas rises from four of the gulpins, and the mist covers Ken, Drake, Drake, Iragore, and Squint. Two others slam their fists against squint and Iragore. The sleeping gulpin wakes up and does the same to Slovering. Another spews noxious sludge at Iragore.

Jakob doesn't even flinch as the gas covers Squint; he's an Ekans, that stuff will barely phase him. The Pound though... That might hurt a little more.

"Squint, you can take that all day! Hit him again!" Jakob shouts, pulling out a Great Ball and looking at the Pokemon around. If one looks close to going down, he's snagging the thing.

Ken manages to cover himself from the poison. He mentally paused for a moment to thank the felt-stupid-at-the-time breath control exercises.

Kleid was a little disappointed that his targets were still standing. He shifted into a basic pose, sweeping one arm in front of himself - as Ken noticed the shout of 'Phan!' His head swept back and forth between Kleid and Solvering - he really didn't multitask well.

Um.

"Solvering! Tackle it back!" Ken called out, as he punched the nearby poison.

"Phan!" Spinning into a roll, here went another tackle.

The madness on the battlefield intensifies. Half blind from residual smoke, Squint misses his target, only Francis's first punch connects, but it doesn't seem to do anything to the gulpin, but Slovering finishes it off. Volta's spray of water slows down the the 8th gulpin immensely, bringing it close to unconcioiusness.

When Drake gives the yet unnamed pineco his very first order in a trainer battle, an order to faint itself, it glares daggers at its new trainer, obviously regretting approaching the sadistic trainer. Still, it obeys, and half the battlefield goes up in smoke. When it clears, the pineco lays fainted on the ground while you don't see any trace of the presumably deceased gulpins.

The gulpins respond angrily while they revoice their super high trills. They start spitting acid again, except for the one that continues to slam itself into Squint.

"Mother Muker!" Jakob shouts as the Pokemon explodes. What the hell had happened? That was not normal. He runs to the Pokemon, pulling out a Potion as he does so. He wouldn't be able to make it this turn, but maybe he could still save the Pokemon.

"SQUINT! I'll handle the blob, you save that Pokemon," he says, lobbing a Pokeball at the green Pokemon as he rushes closer to the exploded one.

Squint puts on a burst of speed, slithering all the way to the pine cone Pokemon, gripping it in its mouth and slithering back towards Jakob who already has a Potion in hand, ready to heal the Pokemon. Nobody was dying on his watch.

Also, Squint used a Double Shift; if those aren't allowed, I'll retcon. Pineco is just outside an Ekans Power Threshold (10 vs. 15 lbs.), so if he can't move quite that far I can fix that as well.

[Major]

Amber sighed, she wasn't very good at this battling thing. She rubbed her temple as she moved closer.

"Uhhh Francis, come back. Let's try your friend!" She said returning the first Ledyba and sending out Rogue. "Uhhhh fly up and you try doing that lots of punches thing!"

Volta and Krayt's attacks both fly wide, but Ken, Viktor, and Viktor land successful hits on their enemies. As unconscious gulpin's hit the ground Jakob hears the characteristic noise that pokeballs make when they successfully capture a wild. His pokedex also updates, giving information on the gulpins.

The one remaining gulpin trills in fear, and begins to flee into the undergrowth.

Jakob ignores the last Gulpin.

"Sorry Squint," he says, gesturing at the massive bruises crossing the body of the Ekans. "This one might be dead though," he says, taking the pine cone. He can't tell whether or not the thing was alive or dead; how does he? What is it, a Grass type? Do they even need to breathe? Regardless, he starts spraying his Potion all over the Pokemon.

Pineco should be at -14 from Self Destruct.

"Don't be dead, don't be dead, don't be dead," he mutters, cradling the spiny Pokemon, accidentally poking himself a few times. He looks up to see his battered snake as well.

"Squint, return. You've had more than enough for the day," he says, the Ekans disappearing into the Pokeball.

[planswalker]

"Thanks for coming out to help, guys. There were only three of them when I started."

[Asdfth]

Drake returns Krayt and slowly walks to Leon. "YOU IDIOT WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU! HAVE YOU EVER ONCE REALIZE WHAT YOUR ACTIONS DO TO OTHERS. LOOK AT US WE ARE INJURED AND SO ARE OUR POKEMON! THIS IS THE SECOND TIME WE HAD TO SAVE YOU! WE CAN'T GO INTO THE CAVE IN THIS CONDITION! NOW MORE TIME HAS TO BE WASTED DUE TO YOUR STUPIDITY! HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO LIVE ALL THIS TIME? IN JUST TWO DAYS YOU GOT YOUR SELF AMBUSHED TWICE! WE HAVE TO ASK THAT OLD CRONE TO HEAL US AGAIN. AND MORE SCIENTIST COULD BE IN DANGER!

[planswalker]

"First off, if you lot hadn't been total cowards about the tauros, I would not have faced them by myself. Second off, no one saved me from that one. Third off, you did not even ask me if I was willing to let you pay for healing me. Last of all, if you all hadn't shown up just then, I would have retreated instead of staying to attack them all. Don't you dare blame me because you sought out this fight.

However, I do have to question your competence to succeed on this mission if you are unable to handle more than one encounter with wild pokemon in a single day. What in the world were you thinking ordering your pokemon to blow itself up like that?"

[Asdfth]

Cowards? Only a real coward would die so foolishly. If I wasn't there for support you would be dead by now. You seem to have forgotten you were gored and dying. You need to realise Pokemon are wild and powerful creatures especially if you interrupted their mating ritual. The Gulpins were right there they would have seen and seeked you for hurting their allies. There are safety in numbers yet you seem to not care about yours. Selfdestruct is a move Pineco possed that was able to get rid of most of the threats in an instance. I didn't force it to learn it it's natural for it to learn that move. Drake reaches in his pocket and shows Leon the ball with the Ursaring."Do you want to know how we took down the bears attacking this village? Amber, Ken, and I work together as a team. None of us ran off and ignored the group we stuck close and stayed together that is how a team should be. You seem more interested in what's best for you not all of us.

[Major]

Amber clenched her fist and called Rogue over as she watched Drake yell at Leon. It was good that she wasn't the only one and she decided to stay out this time. One person constantly chewing into someone would look bad, but if multiple members did it perhaps it'd work out better.

Unrelated note: exp?

[Arcran]

"Hey!" Jakob shouts, obviously worried. "This Pokemon just exploded! Are any of you a medic? I put a Potion on it but I can't tell if it's okay or not!"

[Kantolin]

Heart still pounding, Ken's first focus was on the battle at hand. It took him a moment to realize - but it seemed that the battle was well in hand. The only potential threat was trying to escape.

...in which he felt a little bad for it. Running off would make it a lot harder for him to find food. Summarily, out came a pokeball - maybe he'd be able to catch it. He gave it a throw.

...then tuned back in in time to hear Drake's yelling, and the responses. In which he tensed - that would just cause egos to explode at each other. He wanted to say something, but had no idea what to say to try to defuse the argument. Leon apparently didn't like working with other people, while Drake was apparently out of straws. Likely, granted, because he was poisoned, but still. Did either side really need to be actively insulting the other? Idiot? Cowards?

Um. Also, there was a new guy, holding Drake's pineco.

...also, Kleid was quite annoyed that Ken was not paying attention to his awesome victory dance, and tugged on his pants leg as Solvering walked towards Ken, avoiding the argument. This earned Kleid a muttered, "One second, Kleid."

Man, did Ken wish he was better at talking to people.

So! Enough worrying about what wasn't happening. Right now, he wasn't sure that he could do anything about the argument. He could, however, try to look at the pineco - and thus he walked towards the new guy, trying to remember what he'd just learned about blood vessels and the like. Softly, he touched the pineco.

"I'm... I'm no medic, but it feels like his blood is still pumping as normal. So he's just fainted, I'm pretty sure. I think he's okay."

[Arcran]

"Tough little guy, isn't he. I mean, he just blew up and he's alive?" Jakob says, amazed.

"Jakob," he says, extending his almost skeletal thin hand.
