Spoiler: Ooooooooh, we're halfway there!

Aegwynn saw the dog clamp its jaw on Grimmur, the little monster wincing a little. She did catch a glimpse of shimmering around the wound though, seems that could've been a LOT worse. She shot a glance to Cassandra and smiled, seems that blessing really helped out. She turned to Ilmur, "Ok boy! Now it's time for us to shine! Get into position and do as Grimmur did!" she said, pointing to the Mightyena that released Grimmur from its jaws. Bayleef bounded into position and stamped on the ground just as Grimmur did, lobbing a glowing sedimentary rock out of the ground towards Grimmur's tormentor!

Grimmur raised her claw and then swung it wide towards the wolf before her, aiming to catch it in the shoulder, and chip away what remaining vitality it had!

Grimmur returned herself, to fight another day. Her replacement flew up and out from the barrier, hovering high above its trainer, spinning with a blipping core. Stjarna then lobs out a shower of brilliant stars towards Quakes location, each of them striking down at one of the pups that surrounded the large rock-mon.

OOC: so setting a friendly reminder to myself after work everyday to make sure I check my math and update everything accordingly.

As Midoriya falls to the assault of the mutts, and the continued assault, Ken calls him back quickly. "Come back Midoriya, you need to rest! Zippo keep it up!" Ken throws out another ball, calling out Gin. "Gin helps him out!" Zippo's flames tower as he throws more fire at the mutts. Gin rears his head back and launches a poison dart at them as well.

"Alright you two, I need you to head back towards me and go help out Lennox," Cassandra calls, waving her Pokemon back. "I think Ken can take care of that last one."

Ronin runs back over to Cassandra over and stares down the closest of the wolves with angry yellow eyes. The Nidorino flicks one giant ear and follows the Pawniard, then slides to stop close to his trainer and sends a volley of venomous spikes at another of the Mightyena.

Ilmur's stone, hazy with the power of time, crashes into the hound. It rolls along the ground limply and does not rise. the remaining hounds answer the call and begin to quit the field, fleeing from the party and their unstoppable pokemon. Zippo flings a fireball at one, trying to tag it as it leaves, but the blurt of flame goes wide. Stjarna floats above the party and rains down its namesake on the hounds that haven't run from Quake yet, leaving them broken and beaten and unmoving on the ground when the dust clears. Midoriya, accross the field, finally has its injuries catch up to it and collapses to the ground. Reks, too late to contribute to putting it's target down, still launches a poison covered spike into it's limp form. He growls happily, looking around for more targets.

Spoiler: Victory

Show

Aegwynn watched the others begin to flee. It wouldn't be worth her trouble to go chasing after them, she surmises that the small walloping they gave to them would be enough to deter them from trying that again...at least for a while. Aegwynn turned to Stjarna, "That was great, you guys are all amazing. Stjarna...Rapid Spin!" she instructed. A sound like a propellor starting to spin rang through the air as the Staryu began to spin around, getting faster and faster until...nothing happened? "Huh...that should've worked..." Aegwynn stated.

Aegwynn chooses not to pursue the fleeing pack.

Mechanics

21 - Stjarna uses Rapid Spin on Nothing!

Attack Roll: 1 Really? Cannot even hit the 2 to break the Barrier?

Cassandra smiles as she watches the remnants of the pack retreat. "Good job everybody," she says. She kneels down so that she's on her Pokemon's level. Ronin runs back over to her making a strange metallic noise that the trainer interprets as excitement and joy. He slides to a stop before the axe blade on his head can do any harm. Reks snorts and watches the Mightyena run. He turns and trots over to Cassandra after the last one disappears of the road. "Especially you guys. You two worked great as a team."

The dog whines as more electricity courses through it's body before being energized by the pokeball.

Growlithe was caught!

Tyson watches closely as the pokeball shakes back and forth on the ground before it finally clicks and is transported. He looses a sigh and looks back to Nimbus.

"Thanks for the back-up Nimbus, you were awesome! Now let's round up the others and go get some lunch." Tyson will recall Vile rather than wake him and call out to Roulette and instruct her to follow him from above. He lets Nimbus ride on his shoulder and removes the baby Zubat from his hood, opting to hold it in it's makeshift swaddle as he walks.

Tch! Out like a light...

When Tyson returns to where he left Lucille he will release his team and serve them lunch before he makes his way over to the "dozing" pokemon trainer.

"Hey, uh... you didn't happen to see any Mareep in the meadow while I was gone did ya?" He asks Lucille with a grin as he takes a seat beside her opposite to Augur. "Here." He hands Lucille his Pokedex. "Check out the two newest Pokemon entries." He waits for a few seconds. "So... What do ya think? Not half bad for half an hour and some bait right?" Tyson leans back against the tree and begins to enjoy his own lunch as the two trainers talk.

Back on Track!

After their conversation and the end of their rest Tyson will round up his pokemon with the exception of Vile and Roulette. Roulette will take back to the sky while Vile follows Tyson and Lucille on foot when the duo decides to resume their journey.

Ken calls down Gin and Zippo as the mutts begin to run away. "Nice work everyone!" He first calls out to the group. "Specially you three. Now let's go get Midoriya and bandage him up properly." Ken calls back Gin after running his hand a good length down the snake from his head, a satisfied hiss being made.

As the two make their way over to Midoriya, Ken drops down and grabs some bandages from his pack. He starts to apply them to the unconscious kung fu cat. "You did great Midoriya, I'm just sorry you had to handle them that long." After the bandages are applied, Ken recalls Midoriya and makes his way back over to the group. Satisfied barks coming from Zippo.

Lucille is on her feet, hands planted on her hips and looking down the road when you return. "No I didn't, I don't really think there's enough space for them around her, sandwhiched between the Mountain and the City, you know?"

She takes your pokedex and thumbs through your recent catches. "Not bad, I --" she stops, looks at you suspiciously. "You haven't caught any 'new friends' for a certain Novice Trainer we know, have you?"

Regardless of your answer, she laughs a bit. "A half hour huh? somebody was having fun. it's been." she looks at her watch. "an hour and fifteen, give or take? Speaking of, it's my turn." She pats you on the shoulder and heads in the opposite direction you went hunting in.

Lunch passes quietly without Lucille pacing around with the jitters, ready to get moving.

Aegwynn will finally return both Stjarna and Ilmur to their pokeballs once the barrier dissipated. She took the time to get with everyone and make sure they're all right before she broke for lunch with the rest of them. After stuffing her face with some travel rations she had she released both Elding and Skuggi into the grass between her and her fellow travel companions. She rifled through her bag before getting out two bandages. She picked up Skuggi, who was a little more worse off than Elding was, and gently wrapped him up in bandages. After his dressings were secure, she did the same for Elding, who was a lot easier to pick up and encase in a shell of bandages, making sure to make four little holes for his legs. The medicated wrappings would take some time to make them feel better. She gave them each an Oran berry before returning them to their pokeballs. She brought out Grimmur and patted her on the head as she took out a potion and gently sprayed the aerosol medication onto the little Larvitar, "There we go. All better." she said before patting her once more, feeding her an Oran berry, and returning her. She turned to her companions after everyone was done eating, "Shall we continue?"

As her stomach growls, Cassandra laughs a little. "Let's find a place for lunch everybody."

Once suitable place is located, Cassandra will release her team and distribute their food, making sure Reks is a little separated from her newest addition, the baby Pinsir, before eating some trail rations herself.

After he's finished his food, Raum barks and trots over to the Turtwig, who tilts his head as the devil-dog bows in front of him. The Houndour wags his tail and let's out a soft whine. Tokka seems to sigh and then tosses a small leaf from his head past Raum. The devil-dog turns and bolts after the leaf, jumping to catch it in mid air, then brings it back to Tokka, dropping the saliva covers piece of foliage in front of him. Tokka tosses another leaf, farther this time, and Raum once again brings it back. They keep up this game until it's time to leave again.

The whole scene makes Cassandra smile. It was good to see that the Turtwig was more at ease with her team, especially Raum.

After packing up, Cassandra will keep her eye out for more Pokemon on the way to Mt. Moon.

Once he makes his way back to the group after getting Midoriya situated, Ken takes his lunch break with everyone. Stuffing his face with the rations as Zippo follows suit on his new dietary needs. He watches over the rest of his team as they eat, with the exception of Midoriya who will get a big helping soon as he wakes up. He also makes way to pick up the ball that missed his targeted mutt. "Waste not, want not." After securing his pack, and calling back his team save for Zippo, he was ready to go. "Onward to Mt. Moon like you said Aegwynn. Elding really has grown a lot the past few days huh?" He keeps his eyes open along the walk, hopefully he sees more this go round than on their trip to lunch.

The Zubat chitters and squeaks contentedly, it even lovingly attempts to bite your finger for a quick snack.

"Hey, cut it out! I'm your father not food!" Tyson says with a laugh. He pauses in thought for a second. Wait... I'm a dad now? This is weird...

Lucille is on her feet, hands planted on her hips and looking down the road when you return. "No I didn't, I don't really think there's enough space for them around her, sandwiched between the Mountain and the City, you know?"

She takes your pokedex and thumbs through your recent catches. "Not bad, I --" she stops, looks at you suspiciously. "You haven't caught any 'new friends' for a certain Novice Trainer we know, have you?"

Tyson valiantly fights back a smile when Lucille takes his question about the Mareep seriously. "Uh... yeah, they would probably need more meadow to sustain themselves out here huh? I suppose that's the difference between Unova and Kanto."

They must not have a version of that nursery rhyme here in Kanto? Tyson thinks to himself.

"What? The Growlithe? No way! She's not going anywhere. My mother has an Arcanine she uses to patrol the grounds of the Safari Zone so I thought it would be a strong pokemon to raise for my own team. If he wants one I won't hesitate to help him find it but it's ultimately up to Ken to catch and train his own pokemon. Speaking of which, did you still plan on having your showdown in Cerulean?"

As Lucille tells him the time, Tyson looks at the clock on his pokedex to double check. "Well, you know what they say, 'Time flies when you're on fire!". He says as he inspects the singed spots on his person.

"Call me if something comes up I guess?"

Lunch passes quietly without Lucille pacing around with the jitters, ready to get moving.

Eventually Lucille saunters back into the shade of the tree you've taken lunch under, a somewhat more smug than usual expression on her face. "Ready to head out?"

"Yeah, as soon as you show me what you caught." Tyson quickly replies with a smirk on his face.

Lucille is visibly relieved when you insist the growlithe is for your use only. She shrugs at your question. "I dunno, I think somebody needs to let the air out of his tires before he gets his pokemon hurt, you know? Dedication and proficiency to a type is all fine and whatever, if a bit naive." She shakes her head. "But I dunno if even that would get through to him. Besides." She looks at you, her concern replaced by a smug smirk. "I'm not going to slow myself down to his pace again, just so I can stroke my ego by bruising his. If he can show up within a day or two, maybe three, of us, sure, I'll battle him if he wants, otherwise we'll just have to settle up later."

After Lunch

Lucille returns with a rip in her jeans and a sour expression. "Before you ask, I'm fine." She says. "Stupid hounds. whatever, I needed to go shopping in Cerulean anyway."

Lucille looks you over, and decides you look ready to move out. "I caught a Sandslash and a Mightyena, are you familiar with the breeds?" She says as she sets off towards Cerulean.


Poke Spotting

As you walk towards Cerulean, you don't see many pokemon, or at least nothing more than typical field specimens. The only thing that catches your eye is a ... is that patch of grass... moving?

sure enough, a five foot section of the grass seems to be moving on it's own, it doesn't seem to be pacing you, as it ambles without direction.

Later...

It's around sunset when you reach the outskirts of Cerulean City

Unlike Pallet, with it's rustic fields, Viridian, seeming to lack character entirely, or the endless stone of Pewter, Cerulean has a varied housing and building structure. shades of blue with red roofs are more common, but you see everything from squat, ugly, pragmatic office buildings, to outlandishly colored and designed homes and art studios.

Lucille stops at the outskirts and stretches her arms over her head. "I'm tempted to hit the gym right now. But somehow, I don't think they'd be open to a challenge."

Sometime Around 4PM

You are following the gently meandering trail, There is a stand of woods a few score yards off the road, Cassandra and Aegwynn spy movement. It would seem a lot of mankey live in that stand of trees... further examination of the area has them notice how... trampled a section of grass between the stand of trees and the road is. The closer the party gets to the trampled area, the more the Mankey seem to be gathering at the edge of the woods and watching the group.


After a Long Day's Descriptions...
As the miles pass by underfoot, and the sun passes overhead, The terrain gradually shifts from rolling grassland to steadily uphill, and grows increasingly rocky. The Sky begins to darken and, at last, you see the lights of the Mt. Moon Pokemon Center in the distance, another hour's walk and you arrive. This Pokemon Center is the smallest you've seen so far, it has a blocky stone foundation, but is otherwise constructed of cut logs. there are several picnic tables and a large camping area outside, populated by a variety of Hikers, Mountain Men, and other trainers.

Aegwynn travels with the rest of the group that had left Pewter much later than some others. She took the time to make small talk with a couple of them, and even pointing out Pokemon that weren't already spotted by the very observant Cassandra to those who may not be paying as much attention. She took this time to pursue a few of them herself, often telling her companions to either wait up, or she'll catch up to them after handling an opportunity to expand her team!

Counting Sheep? It's not bedtime yet!

Aegwynn had the fluffy pokemon pointed out to her by Cassandra, and couldn't help but gleefully sprint off towards it. It was so fluffy and adorable, she couldn't resist the chance to add it to her family of pokemon! She made sure to slow down before getting too close though, not wanting to put on a threatening display if the Pokemon took notice to her. She did release Grimmur beside her, "Ok girl, you'll be up just in case our normal strategy doesn't work!" she said before pulling out a fresh pokeball and chucking it at the sheep!

Yeah, that seems like a plausible theory, at least to Aegwynn. After having been pointed to it by Cassandra, she gleefully grinned as she set out to add another to her roster.

Show

Aegwynn slowly decided to approach this one, a berry in one hand, a smile upon her face. If allowed to get in closer to this seemingly gentle pokemon, she will kindly offer the Oran berry to it, another hand displayed in an attempt to show that she was friendly. She would attempt to befriend this pokemon, deviating from her normal strategy of beaning things with a pokeball this time. After all, it seemed to work well enough for Cassandra that one time. "Hey buddy...you look hungry! Think you wanna come with me and see the rest of this world together?" she spoke softly to it.

Ken takes out Gin's Pokeball and calls out the snake. "Ok Zippo stay back, Gin you're up. Try to keep it where it is."

Lucille is visibly relieved when you insist the growlithe is for your use only. She shrugs at your question. "I dunno, I think somebody needs to let the air out of his tires before he gets his pokemon hurt, you know? Dedication and proficiency to a type is all fine and whatever, if a bit naive." She shakes her head. "But I dunno if even that would get through to him. Besides." She looks at you, her concern replaced by a smug smirk. "I'm not going to slow myself down to his pace again, just so I can stroke my ego by bruising his. If he can show up within a day or two, maybe three, of us, sure, I'll battle him if he wants, otherwise we'll just have to settle up later."

"Well whatever you decide to do is between you two. Whether it's now or later I wouldn't want to miss that battle either way."

Tyson takes a moment to look up at the sky.

"Now that I think about it, I never got to see how Ken and Cassie's gym battles went..."

After Lunch

Lucille returns with a rip in her jeans and a sour expression. "Before you ask, I'm fine." She says. "Stupid hounds. whatever, I needed to go shopping in Cerulean anyway."

Lucille looks you over, and decides you look ready to move out. "I caught a Sandslash and a Mightyena, are you familiar with the breeds?" She says as she sets off towards Cerulean.

Tyson fails to stifle a laugh. "What? I wasn't gonna say anything." He says, desperately fighting to keep himself from smiling to no avail. "Don't you know that 'ripped' is in? Besides, it kinda suits you ya know?"

He uses both sets of his index fingers and thumbs to frame Lucille, imitating a photographer.

"Anything in particular you're looking for in Cerulean?"

When asked about pokemon Tyson thinks for a moment. "Mightyena sounds familiar to me but I'm drawing blanks. Now I've definitely seen Sandslash both train and battle firsthand. The one we fought together was about average in strength from what I gathered. What did you wanna know?"

Poke Spotting

As you walk towards Cerulean, you don't see many pokemon, or at least nothing more than typical field specimens. The only thing that catches your eye is a ... is that patch of grass... moving?

sure enough, a five foot section of the grass seems to be moving on it's own, it doesn't seem to be pacing you, as it ambles without direction.

Is... Is that grass moving? "Hey, I'm gonna check something out really quick..." Tyson says to Lucille as he walks toward the ambulatory grass with Vile in tow.

He pulls out his pokedex in an attempt to register it if it turns out to be some sort of pokemon.

Later...

It's around sunset when you reach the outskirts of Cerulean City

Unlike Pallet, with it's rustic fields, Viridian, seeming to lack character entirely, or the endless stone of Pewter, Cerulean has a varied housing and building structure. shades of blue with red roofs are more common, but you see everything from squat, ugly, pragmatic office buildings, to outlandishly colored and designed homes and art studios.

Lucille stops at the outskirts and stretches her arms over her head. "I'm tempted to hit the gym right now. But somehow, I don't think they'd be open to a challenge."

"So this is Cerulean? 'The mysterious city surrounded by blue!'" Tyson exclaims as the duo reaches their destination.

"Yeah, I know exactly how you feel right now. How about this: We find this town's Center and turn in for the night. Tomorrow we wake up early, train, eat, then take on the gym. After that we can use the rest of the day to see what Cerulean has to offer. You did say that you were in the market for another water type right? We could head to the beach or try see if they have a trading post like the one back in Pewter?"

The Cerulean City Pokemon Center is a a concrete edifice with a massive blocky section of windows rising up almost like a steeple. Consequently, the main lobby of the center is brightly lit. The lobby feels very scrubbed clean with a strong anti-septic smell with a faint undertone of brine. The furnishings are clinical, with hard plastic chairs without padding dominating the left front side of the room. a triple bank of vid-phone kiosks rests behind a glass partition in the back left. there are some sliding glass doors to the right that leads to a hostel. the entire place is done up in alternating cream and shades of blue. The layout feels reminiscent of the Viridian City center.

The Hostel is better done, with heavy blankets provided at each of the bunks, a flat-screen bolted into the wall in one corner with some beanbag chairs and recliners, and a small kitchenette on the opposite side. The coed shower block opens up into a small pool and Jacuzzi in the back.
