Under Aibi's assault, the Hitmonlee finally goes down. The Martial Artist across the court offers no comment, silently returning the pokemon and lobbing his next into the court. A massive red-skinned humanoid wearing a crude imitation of a karate Gi. It holds its hands out in front of it, wrists touching. Energy begins to swirl around and within the rough sphere outlined by it's fingers. It pulls the gathering power back towards itself before thrusting forward at Aibi unleashing a massive beam of energy!

Roshi allows the Mienfoo to proceed through the helpless and futile gesture of attempting to fight Yojimbo, but inevitably, the sword's battering attacks throw the cat to the ground.

Coach mountain rings the bell

YOU HAVE DEFEATED GYM LEADER ROSHI

The Old Man limps around the ring, a gap-toothed smile across his face. "That wasn't bad at all. You'll have to come back for a real fight some day, when I don't have to take it easy on you. Hyeh heh heh heh heh. I see great potential in you as a trainer."

He hands you a small badge, it's a sky-blue starburst with a fist inside of a circle, both lined in silver. "This is the Ki Badge. Carrying it will allow you to form a greater connection with the fighting spirit of your pokemon, spurring them on to greater feats of strength and endurance."

Coach Mountain retrieves something from beneath the ring and hands you a CD case and a wad of Cash.

"This is TM 08, Bulk Up. this copy is good for seven uses." Roshi continues in his scratchy voice. "You'll have to acquire a TM Reader on your own."

Aegwynn looks up at the man before politely standing up, giving a small bow to him. She introduced herself before fishing in her bag and pulling out not the Heavy Ball, but the job posting, “I believe I have. This is your job posting, yes?” She queried to him as she fished the Heavy Ball then out of her bag, the one containing Hippowdon. She had her own Heavy Ball containing Grimmur clipped to her belt. She smiled to him, looking up at him with her ice blue eyes, “It was quite a haul to get this Heavy Ball...my traveling companion and I actually found it in a Golem’s nest. Luckily we avoided their ire. Have you the payment that was promised by your job posting, kind gentleman?”

Perhaps distracted by the sheer massiveness of the pokemon Tyson only looks the pokemon's body over briefly. If the Onix seems receptive enough he will attempt to slowly run his hand somewhere along the Onix's head.

Should the Onix recoil from his touch Tyson will mirror it's movement and take a few steps backward toward his own pokemon instead.

As the cat finally falls, Cassandra jumps up once, but manages to contain herself. "You did it Yojimbo!" she says, returning the sword. "Great job."

She bows to both Coach Mountain and Roshi as they hand her the badge, TM, and the cash. "Thank you Master Roshi, maybe I will come back someday." She bows to him again as he heads back toward the staircase.

Though 'Gym Services' sounds interesting to her, she zips out the door as soon as possible and takes a deep breath in of the clean air outside. She releases Raum, who barks and hops up and down excitedly by her side as she walks back to the Pokemon Center once again.

Aegwynn saw the money, so this gentleman certainly was more than able when it came to the compensation. She looked to him and then the Heavy Ball she had in hand, "Well then, shall we have you inspect it? Not in here of course." she said as she stood up from her seat, smiling to him. "Let's head outside the Pokemon Center. I'm sure they won't appreciate this one being released indoors." she suggested before slowly making her way outside of the Pokemon Center, being sure that he was in two with her. Once outside of the building, she'll release the Pokemon, making sure there was a decent distance between herself and the Pokemon contained within. Hippowdon could swallow her whole, after all!

"Hey, you seem nice enough. Why don't you come with me?" Tyson takes a few steps in the direction he originally came from gesturing for the giant pokemon to follow. "C'mon you two." He says to Kasumi and Roulette.

"There's more food where that apple came from and you won't have to worry about fighting any more Mankey." His eyes move over the bloodsoaked stones that form the Onix's body. "Not that it's any problem for you." He will walk back toward the Onix and rub it's head again. Tyson smiles warmly and raises the pokeball in his off hand so that the Onix can see it.

What is his name, if I may ask?" she inquired. She was always eager to learn about new and exotic pokemon, and she was pretty sure she remembered upon finding it that this particular specimen is one not really native to Pewter and surrounding.

He removes two pokeballs from his belt and recalls Kasumi, then repeats the process with Roulette so that the Onix can clearly see the pokeball. "You two were great, especially working together." Tyson releases Kasumi beside him and looks back to the Onix.

"So, did you see? It's not so bad." He reaches into his bag and pulls out half of his lunch and tosses it into the the pokemon's mouth.

"If you come with me I can feed you everyday." He says as the giant eats. "You can pick me up from time to time," He points to the Onix and then himself as he scoops up his Frogadier to demonstrate. "and I can pick you up every now and then when you get tired." He finishes his demonstration by raising Kasumi up alongside the pokeball briefly before cupping her in his arm.

"You need to stay inside this for now though okay?" He raises the pokeball up to the Onix once again. "Try touching it with your nose." Tyson softly taps his own head with the pokeball and offers it to back to the Onix.

Aegwynn was slightly embarrassed, catching a glimpse of his frown. She had always been taught by her parents, when it comes to money, to always count what you receive and count what you give. It's not that she didn't believe he was being dishonest, it's just been a habit that has been drilled into her by her parents, especially her. She was born without the gift of telepathy, so she was unable to tell if someone was not being completely candid with her. While that made her like anyone else, her parents often thought that put her at a disadvantage. They always did have a sense of being 'Holier than Thou' because they could read the surface thoughts and emotions of an individual at a whim. She shrugged as the man sauntered off into the Crowd, waving after him, "It was nice making your acquaintance! Sebastian is quite the Pokemon, perhaps we'll battle sometime in the future when I'm stronger than I am now!"

She did some quick math, in her head. After she had divided her portion from the whole sum, leaving her with Ken's share, she decided she would head off to do some shopping. She figured the best stop as any would be the Pokemart. She needed some more of the 'essentials' that she had expended while traveling up the Mountain to find the Heavy Ball. She also figured it would be a good time to maybe learn some more about Pewter from the locals. It was probably around late afternoon, early evening she figures by the time she arrives at the shop. Once inside, she went straight to the man behind the counter, waving Hello to him. If he was busy, she would wait patiently for him to finish up with his current customer before asking him for assistance, "Hello. I've got an item to sell, and I'm looking for a particular item. Perhaps you could help me?" she asked him, before presenting the one item for sale, a Calcium that Svangur chose to not eat. She then inquired about a Water Stone, and if one could be acquired here in Pewter from either here, or one of the specialty shops perhaps?

On her way to her next destination after meeting with the man who's Heavy Ball she had found, she heard her Pokedex ping. It was a text from that all fellow they met at the job board a week ago, well taller fellow than most. She responded back to him before stashing her pokedex away and continuing on to her next destination. 'Oh neat! I wish you luck there. Gym leader is a pretty awesome guy. Just got done refreshing my team from my challenge, and am now going to hit up the shops. Meet me there if you'd like. I have a few pokemon to trade. A bouncy pig, a metal colony bug, a blue lobster, and a scrappy fighter.'

As he walks to the Center, Zippo still on his shoulder, Ken looks around to see the usual assortment of urban life Pokemon. He steers clear of the Murkrow that he sees, even though one would be pretty cool to have. He does come to a stop when he notices the Magnemite though.

"We should probably have something like that on our team huh buddy. Think you'd be good to go against it?" Zippo chirps a nod. "Alright, just try not to knock it out completely though.

The kid behind the counter types away at his register for a moment. "Uh... well, ma'am, uh... I've checked our uhm... 'acquisition budget', I guess? and I'm allowed to offer you... 2,000 Poken for an unpackaged Vitamin."

He checks his computer some more. "I double checked our inventory just to be sure, but I'm afraid we don't have any Evolutionary stones at all. The Gym hasn't put an order for some in a long time, and we only rarely get them from trainers passing through. You might have better luck finding one in Cerulean if you have enough badges. Is there anything else I can help you find today?"

Zippo's Flame washes over the magnemite, which screeches and falls smoking to the ground where it lands with a clank. One of it's side-magnets' arms breaks off, as well as one of the screw like protrusions.

The man rubs his chin for a moment before finally saying "I don't have any flying types with me today, but I would be willing to part with a Mienfoo or a superb Poochyena."

"Long enough to know you're gonna get hurt trying to talk down something large and angry." She says with a laugh. "Look, you gotta understand...."

Lucille spends a fair portion of the next stretch of climbing, scraping, getting rocks in your socks, and straining walking you through the basics of poke-psychology and mentor-ship.

You manage to digest most of what Lucille's rambling about, in between your trail troubles... You feel more confidant in your ability to charm a pokmeon into a ball instead of having to beat them into submission.

You gain a 1-time-use Free Boost to a check to manipulate a pokemon's disposition (good or bad)

"I've got an idea that might make this easier..." Lucille says, looking up the steep, gravely slope ahead of you. She releases her Machop and walks it through what she's after. The Machop flexes and then attacks the wall, scaling it in a.... more violent manner than might be strictly necessary. it leaves rents and gouges in the hillside after it. Lucille looks at you and shrugs "I dunno if that'll actually help."

Pokespotting

you see some weird looking birds circling overhead, but you can't quite make out what they are. As you continue to climb, you notice more geodude and roggenrola, seemingly content to mind their own business and eat rocks.

You encounter a Rhyhorn which stomps on the ground and kicks up a cloud of dust when you reach a small plateau. Brawn faced off against it at Lucille's direction and she ended up adding it to her collection.

Shortly before dusk, you catch the echoing sound of... well, you're not sure what it is... it's a heavy, fleshy impact. like if you slapped a rock as hard as you could... and your hand was the size of a car.

Following the noise, you find a rotund, yellow pokemon with blue fists on a flatter section of the mountain. As you watch, the pokmeon runs at top speed and flings itself into a boulder - the source of the sound. The pokemon is covered in rock-dust and scrapes from this self-inflicted abuse. A small hole is dug into the mountainside... the failing light doesn't reach more than a few yards before being swallowed up by the depths.
