Mist's Splitdex

[NeedleMan.exe]

Both attacks fail. They are still underwater.

[RipTide]

...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mist: Onix... just keep hurling rocks into the water, they have to be dodging them. EVentually they'll either tire out or get hit.
May: Treecko, keep trying to absorb through the water.

[NeedleMan.exe]

Nothing happens. They are still underwater.

May: What would be effective in water?

[RipTide]

*sigh* electricity.. but if i switch out there will be no level ups, and thats what i need
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mist: I know what we should do... but let me try something esle first. Onix, tower above the water and screech as loud as you can to stun the pokemon underwater, then hurl more rocks and try to hit them!
May: After the rockslide goes into the water go out on those other rocks and try and look for Feebas and Staryu, then absorb.

[NeedleMan.exe]

Onix towers over the water, but it falls in before it can use screech. Onix faints.

[RipTide]

Mist: Fine, we'll use someone who can fly! Go Scyther. Scyther, hover over the water and use silverwind into it. If staryu or Feebas tries to attack either block them with your scythes or dodge with your incredible speed.
May: Treecko, jump back out onto the rocks and try to absorb Staryu or Feebas.

[NeedleMan.exe]

Scyther's silver win causes the water to part for a short time. Feebas flops aroun helplessly and is hit by absorb from treecko. Staryu uses water gun on Scyther's wings an prevents him from flying anymore. Scyther lands onto a rock. The water closes.

[RipTide]

Mist: Feebas and Staryu have to be weak from the grass attacks we laid on them earlier, so lets try this... Scyther, part the water again with silver wind. Keep it up so that Treecko can absorb both of them.
May: Treecko when the water parts hit both feebas and staryu with Absorb!

[NeedleMan.exe]

Scyther use silver wind to part the water an treecko uses absorb on the first thing it sees, staryu. Feebas jumps out of the water and flops on scyther's face. Scyther falls off the rock. The water begins to close, but treecko jumps in an pulls scyther out. Staryu is really weak.
^^^^^^^^
OOC: My magikarp just became a gyarados

[RipTide]

Mist: Great work you 2, now, scyther open the water again with silver wind.
May: Then Treecko, finish Staryu with absorb, then attack Feebas with asborb

^^^^

I know, congrats ^_^

[NeedleMan.exe]

[i]Scyther parts the water, but is hit in the face by water gun. Treecko uses absorb but misses. The water closes.

[RipTide]

May: Treecko, get on Scythers back! Now Mist have Syyther use silver wind at the water. but push it at an angle so that Treecko can get in there.
Mist: No May, Treecko is weak against bug attacks, its too risky for him to get hit. Instead, Scyther push the water with silver wind, but then move in a circle to create a whirlpool!!! Then when the pokemon are dizzy part the water and let Treecko use absorb.

[NeedleMan.exe]

Scyther creates a whirlpool that causes feebas to become confused. Treecko lunges at Staryu and uses absorb.

Finish Staryu!

[RipTide]

Mist: Scyther, make an opening in the water again with silver wind!
May: Treecko, when the water parts finish Staryu with an absorb pound combo!

[NeedleMan.exe]

Silverwind does not part the water, but hits staryu and it faints.[/i]

[RipTide]

Mist: Okay, time to focus on Feebas. Scyther, dry off your wings by flapping them quickly. Then hover above the water and lure Feebas out. When it pops up hit it with your sharp scythes.
May: Treecko, jump into the water and float. If Feebas comes near you absorb it and then pound it away!

[NeedleMan.exe]

Scyther tries to dry its wings, but it falls into the water and faints. Treecko knows it would faint also and does not go in the water.

OOC: You can still have mist use another pokemon.

[RipTide]

OOC: WTF? Does Scyther get a level up because thats ALL i really want from this battle.. Oh and FYI. All I have left is chinchou.. But it'll do.

Mist: OH NO! *sigh* GO CHINCHOU! Chinchou, sit in the water and use thunderwave, the water should magnify its power so that is actually HURTS Feebas. And since your immune to electricty you should just absorb the hit.
May: Treecko, stay on a DRY rock. Don't touch ANYTHING wet.

[NeedleMan.exe]

No level up for scyther.
^^^^^^^^
Thunderwave badly damages Feebas. It is paralyzed and floats to the top of the water.

Finish Feebs!

[RipTide]

Mist: Chinchou, thunderwave it one more time!
May: When the electricity dies down, go in and absorb/pound combo!

[NeedleMan.exe]

Chinchou thunderwaves and Treecko uses absorb. Feebas faints. Two levels up for chinchou and treecko.

Girl: Here take $400.

[i]You look around and don't see the lotad or wally anywhere.

What Now?

A: Look for wally
B: Go back to town and heal
C: Look for pokemon
D: Head into Petalburg woods.

[RipTide]

Mist: I wonder where Wally is...
May: We better go look... But first we should heal our Pokemon. We don't want to run into trouble we can't handle.
~~~

B then A

[NeedleMan.exe]

You walk into the center and see Wally healing his pokemon.

Wally: I caught the lotad using my diglett (level up for diglett)

You all heal.

Now What?

A: Go back to route 104
B: Go to Petalburg Woods

[RipTide]

B
~~~~
Mist: Lets head to petalburg woods...
May and Wally: Okay
~~~~
What are lotad's stats again? been a long time....

[NeedleMan.exe]

Lotad is level 6 male.
^^^^^^^
You head into petalburg woods and see a bug catcher.

Bugcatcher: Want to battle?

[RipTide]

Mist: Hm.. sure why not.
May and Wally: Good luck Mist!

[NeedleMan.exe]

Bugcatcher: I wasn't talking to you, I meant him.

He points at Wally.

[RipTide]

Wally: I don't want to battle. I'm tired...
May: Then lets keep going
Mist: Later bug catcher

*they wave and walk away, deeper into the forest*

[NeedleMan.exe]

You hear the bug catcher scream. You look back and see a man with dark orange skin, dark black hair, and a thick accent. He has a Glalie, Snorunt, Zubat, Golbat, and Crobat out.

Man: That's what you get for being weak. Stupid bug catcher. Even the punks who lost to Leaften could beat you.

Bug Catcher: Omar, I tried to battle them honestly.

Omar: No excuses, you lost to me so be gone.

Bugcatcher: But you used all five pokemon.......

Omar: BE GONE..........

Bug Catcher runs.

Pick what you do.

[RipTide]

May: *Confused look* Er.. that was interesting..
Wally: Let's get out of here before something bad happens with those guys.
Mist: Yeah. I need to do some training with my scyther, lets go look for some pokemon to battle. A grass type would be nice... Hm. I hear there are oddish in these woods, maybe we can find one.
May: I don't know if there are, but maybe we'll get lucky. Let's go! Towards Rustoboro!

[NeedleMan.exe]

Omar: *Watches you leave* Hmm, We will have our battle at somepoint.

There are no oddish in the woods but you meet a shroomish.

[RipTide]

May: Oh look! A SHROOMISH!! It's so cute!
Wally: *Groan* May...
Mist: I'm going to battle it! Alright, come on out Scyther! Scyther, keep your distance so it can use its effect spore on you. Keep hitting it with silver wind from far away, if it ever tries to use a stun spore, poison powder, or sleep powder blow it away with your wings and then continue battering it with silver wind!

[NeedleMan.exe]

[i]Silverwind is super effective. Scyther blows sleep powder back at shroomish and shroom falls asleep.

[RipTide]

Mist: Great work Scyther. Now, while he's asleep, fly above him and blast silver wind at him. If it wakes up and starts to use any powders or spores beat your wings faster and blow it back at shroomish again.

[NeedleMan.exe]

Silverwind hurts shroomish and it wakes up. It attempts to run away.

[RipTide]

Mist: Scyther, you're a hell of a lot faster than that plant, quickly move in front of it and blow it over with silver wind. Try and knock it out. If it tries any spore or powders blow it back at it with your wings.

[NeedleMan.exe]

Shroomish hides in a dead tree.

[RipTide]

Mist: Scyther, use your scythes to slash through that dead tree. Then blow it and shroomish down with silver wind.

[NeedleMan.exe]

The tree breaks and splinters shroomish. It looks like it is in a lot of pain. It doesn't faint but it is unable to battle. Level up for scyther. Shroomish keeps wimpering.

May: Oh no, what should we do?

[RipTide]

Mist: I dont know =\ I feel awful.. return scyther
Max: Why dont we take it to a pokemon center?
Mist: If we touch it we'll probably get poisoned, fall asleep, or get paralyzed
May: *sigh*
Mist: May, you wanted a shroomish right? Why dont you catch it and we can get it to a center that way!
May: Good idea! *throws pokeball*

[NeedleMan.exe]

May catches a level 7 male shroomish.

You hurry to the pokemon center and heal the shroomish. You head outside and see a little girl being picked on by a boy.

LittleGirl: Help me!

The boy turns around. You recognize him as Boy2 from Leaften's, the strongest of his flunkies.

Boy2: Heh! Time for my revenge. My beedrill is stronger than ever. Plus I got some more pokemon too. Now who goes first.

He kicks the girl aside and laughes. She drops $500 and he takes it. He then looks towards the three of you.

You: I'll take you on....

Wally pulls you back.

Wally: He's mine. Remember what he called me.
Boy2: Okay Wimpy Wally. You are the first to fall. Go Beedrill (LV13).
Wally: Thats the pokemon that fought the defenseless diglett I caught. Time for its revenge, go Diglett.

Control Wally.

[RipTide]

Wally: Okay Diglett, dig underground to stay away from beedrill. When you can pop out of the ground and use sand attack, then back underground. keep doing it until it can't see. then jump out and scrath, followed with growl, then hide back underground

[NeedleMan.exe]

Diglitt digs underground but beedril fires twineedle. Diglett is poisoned.

[RipTide]

FYI needle... GLA is up an running, but its new. Go to clubs and clans and find Gym Leaders Anonymous: The New Age. Today we changed a LOT. New things like elite four and such, its awesome. And later on we're adding RPB as a second way of battling. check it out =]

[NeedleMan.exe]

Can I still be fighting....or maybe dark or maybe even grass... but Fighting is my #2 choice (can't say my #1 because I know water is taken). PM me the link...I'm too lazy to look.
^^^^^^
Still your move.

[RipTide]

Water is taken by a rookie, if you want, you can challenge him for the position, remember the rules! ^_^ I'm the water elite member now.

anyways...
~~~~

Mist:Wally, catch! *Mist throws Wally an antidote.
Wally: Thanks!!! Here diglett, use this. *uses antidote* Now, dig under ground and come up and use sand attack, then scratch it!

[Alice!]

Mrrr.... A Beedrill three levels hgher than you.... Good thing they aren't very strong on their own. Silly bugs. And how did it manage to have Twinneedle anyway?

~~~

Diglett pops up and hits Beedrill with Sand-Attack, sending it flying up into the air. Bedrill comes down using Fury Attack, but misses and embeds its forearms into the ground. Diglett Scratches Beedrill in the face for a good chunk of damage.

[RipTide]

Wally: Yes! Good! Now, try and finish it off with magnitude since it's stuck in the ground!

~~~~

Yeah, it's stronger... and no, I don't know how it knew twin needle X_x Ugh.. ask NEEDLE who just wanted to delay my trip to Rustoboro :P

Thanks again Linux

[Alice!]

You're welcome. And this battle needs to end, its just too bizzare.

~~~

Diglett uses Magnitude at point blank range. Magnitude 10! The ground cracks open and flashes as Beedrill is swallowed up, then violently spit back out into the side of the pokemon center, knocking it out.

Boy: Oh no! I had more pokemon, but if you can take out Beedrill, you're too stong for me. Here, take her money back! I'm outta here!

Level up for Diglett + $500

[RipTide]

Wally: *Looks around* Erm... where's the little girl?
May: Uh.. I don't know.. she was here a moment ago-
Mist: Weird...
Wally: Oh well. Mist, I don't need this money, you can have it!
Mist: Awesome! Thanks Wally. Now let's head towards rustoboro. I still need to do some training too... Roxanne won't stand a chance against Oddish and Staryu.
*The group heads off through the forest towards Rustoboro*

[Alice!]

You're such an ass.

~~~

You leave and, after traveling a bit, Wally gets restless.

Wally: I'm gonna go off on my own for a while. I'll catch up with you later.

Wally takes off, leaving you and May to yourselves.

[RipTide]

:P It was either that or I was going to have the lil' girl reward me with rare candys/stones/something else that'd be helpful
~~~

May: Bye Wally! We'll see you in Rustoboro!
Mist: Let's keep going, we're bound to get there sooner or later. Maybe we'll find pokemon or trainers on the way there...

[Alice!]

Fine then. Unbeknownst to you, you missed out on the Surf HM. Something cosmic is poking you in the brain.

~~~

You wander off with May for a bit. Night falls, and you both decide to sleep. In the middle of the night, you hear a rustling and stir slightly. You glance over at May and see a dark shadow floating just above her head.

[RipTide]

Mist:AHH!
May:*wakes up* What's wro- AH!
*the shadow startles and backs up, but does not leave
Mist: Go Oddish! Use sweet scent to lure that thing in, I wonder what it is!

~~~
*sigh* Oh well.. I'll get it eventually I hope... but oh well. That's why RPs are fun, you can screw yourself over and still enjoy it :P

[Alice!]

Oddish uses Sweet Scent, and the shape comes forward. It is still fuzzy, but you can tell that it is a pokemon.

[RipTide]

Mist: May, come over here with me, I don't wanna hurt this pokemon... Come here little buddy, we won' hurt you. *Mist puts out his hand and calls for the pokemon to come to him*

[Alice!]

The pokemon draws closer, and you see that it has wavy hair and a small bead necklace on. May is shivering, and then steels herself and galres at the pokemon.

May: I...really...don't...like...ghosts.... Go Wingull! Water Gun attack!

Wingull shoots a Water Gun at it, and, after it is hit, floats up and stares at you.

[RipTide]

Mist: That's a Misdreavus! COOL!
May: *Ugh* I don't like ghosts...
*the Misdreavus continues to stare at Mist*
Mist: What do I do?
May: I can have my Wingull scare it off if you want.
Mist: No, no. That's okay. I wonder if it would go in a pokeball without me fighting it... *Mist pulls out a pokeball and shows it to the Misdreavus. He tosses it toward her and...*

~~~

now you get to decide: easy catch or battle :P

[Alice!]

Flip of the coin RipTide. You got heads.

~~~

He tosses it toward her and...it shoots it away with a wave of purple energy! The Misdreavus is not happy. It stares at Wingull, then speeds towards it and hits it lightly. Wingull flinches and doesn't react.

[RipTide]

Mist: Fine, looks like it wants it the hard way. And it seems it wants to fight you May.
May: *Smirks* Hehe. Fine, it chose the wrong girl to mess with. It is kinda cute you know, maybe i'll knock it out and catch it! HA! Go Wingull! Fly towards it and unleash supersonic. Then fly above it and hammer it into the ground witha watergun! *Wingull screeches its name and takes off toward Misdreavus.*

[Alice!]

Wigull uses Supersonic at the same time as Misdreavus uses its purple waves. The attacks collide, and rebound back on their users. Both Misdreavus and Wingull are confused. Wingull shoots Water Gun as Misdreavus speeds towards it. Water Gun nicks Misdreavus, and Misdreavus barely hits with its attack. Misdreavus keeps going and runs into a tree.

[RipTide]

May: Good! Now, fly in towards Misdreavus so it lunches an attack, then swoop upward and surprise it with another watergun! Knock it back into that tree!

[Alice!]

Wingull flys up and Misdreavus Growls at it. Wingull loses its focus and veers slightly left. Misdreavus glares at Wingull, and there is a sharp burst of light from her necklace. Wingull shakes its head and hits Misdreavus with Water Gun, knocking Misdreavus back a few feet.

[RipTide]

May: Good work! Okay, now, shoot watergun at the ground infront of it to shoot mud and dirt into its eyes. Then quickly water gun it right in the face! Try and ignore all its growls. If it shoots a purple wave at you swoop inbetween it since its a ring! (Psywave shoots like a massive ring)

[Alice!]

Wingull uses Water Gun at the ground as a flash comes out of Misdreavus's necklace again. Dirt and mud and whatnot all go flying at Misdreavus, making it rather difficult to see. Wingull then tries to hit it in the face with Water Gun, but misses horribly. Wingull flies forwards as Misdreavus uses Psywave. Wingull dodges, but the rings curve back, hitting both pokemon,

[RipTide]

May: That light must be a flash. But thats okay, Wingull has keen eye which makes his accuracy ALWAYS 100% *wink* Now, wingull, drown that sucker with watergun! Hit it in the face and then try to blow that necklace off it by aiming the water gun there.

[Alice!]

Misdreavus Growls at Wingull as Wingull uses Water Gun. Wingull gets distracted, and the attack misses. Misdreavus uses the flash again, and Wingull aims at it with Water Gun while Misdreavus uses Psywave. Both pokemon fly back and hit trees, snapping both of them out of confusion.

[RipTide]

May:Wow, this is a long battle for a wild pokemon battle! Let's go Wingull! Fly past Misdreavus and try and knock it over with the wind from your flying. Then turn and bury it into the ground with a powerful watergun. Ignore any growling, and dodge all attacks you can!

[Alice!]

Wingull flies past Misdreavus as Misdreavus flashes the light once more. Wingull beats its wings strongly, and Misdreavus falters and floats downwards. Wingull shoots a powerful Water Gun as Misdreavus uses Psywave. The Water Gun goes straight through the Psywave, and both attacks hit. Misdreavus starts to falter in its floating, and seems to be getting weaker.

[RipTide]

May: Wingull you're doing amazing. Just hang tough. Fly straight at Misdreavus and growl at it. It should be starlted by your gowling, giving you the chance to blast one last strong watergun right into its face! For extra damage, try and blast it into a tree!

[Alice!]

Wingull Growls at Misdreavus, causing its Psywave to miss. Wingull hits Misdreavus back into a tree with Water Gun, but Misdreavus floats right through the tree. Misdreavus comes back through and flashes the light again, then Growls at Wingull.

[RipTide]

May: Ugh... Wingull. This isn't working, those attacks from Misdravus are causing some problems. Now, shoot water at the ground in front of Misdreavus so that is gets blinded for a moment. While it can't see fly into the tree top and hide. Then start firing off water guns and try to knock it out. The tree branches should guard you from any growls or psywaves.

[Alice!]

Wingull tries to shoot a Water Gun, but finds itself unable to! Misdreavus laughs and shoots a Psywave at Wingull, which it barely dodges. Wingull flies up, still unable to use Water Gun, with Misdreavus following it closely.

[RipTide]

May: What's going on! That flash must have something to do with this... *pulls out poke'dex* I wonder what it's moves are...
"Midreavus: Misdreavus is capable of disabling pokemon attacks using the move Spite. Spite lowers the amount of PP of a pokemons move with each use."
Ugh... she must have used up all of Wingull's Watergun! Ugh. Return Wingull, you're just a sitting duck *hehe* *May pulls out another pokeball and her face turns stern.* I can't let a little monster like this play around with me. Surskit go! Show this ghost how fighting is done! Quick attack all around Misdreavus to confuse it, then knock it out with a barage of bubbles!

[Alice!]

Misdreavus registers the change in pokemon and uses Psywave on Surskit. Surskit Quick Attacks straight through the Psywave as Misdreavus speeds towards it. The pokemon collide, and Misdreavus immediately shoots Psywave wave at Surskit, who is unable to dodge.

[RipTide]

May: How long will this thing go on! I mean c'mon! It's a wild misdreavus! Whatever, she deserves to get KO'd for scaring on awake, right Mist?
*Mist nods, a little afraid at May's sudden rage*
May: Go Surskit, dodge all Misdreavus' attacks and then shoot it from behind with bubble. Then quuickly start moving again and bubble whenever you see a chance. Don't stop moving unless you're in the clear!

[Alice!]

Surskit dashes around as Misdreavus starts matching its movements a little bit above it. Surskit finds itself unable to shoot Bubble straight up. Misdreavus shoots a Psywave straight down, and Surskit quickly dashes ahead with a Quick Attack, then hits Misdreavus with Bubble. Misdreavus drops to ground level and glares furiously at May.

Finish Misdreavus

[RipTide]

May: WAHHH! Surskit HELP! Bubble before it attacks me!!!!

[Alice!]

Surskit uses Bubble, taking out the Misdreavus.

Level up for Surskit

The Misdreavus lies there, motionless, still facing May.

[RipTide]

May: *pulls out a great ball and winks* That's what it gets for harassing me. It's a real good fighter, glad to get you on my team. Oh, and great work Surskit. *May turns to the motionless Misdreavus and throws the greatball towards it*
Mist: Wow... since when do you have a stash of great balls.... all I have are pokeballs...

[Alice!]

1...2...3...all right! May got a Misdreavus. (Level 8, Female, Ability: Levitate)

Now what?

[RipTide]

May: Yipppppee!!! *May starts dancing*
Mist: Oy... *looks at his watch* Well... it's 6:00 am now... That Misdreavus bother us more than an hour before we shoulda gotten going. Oh well. Guess it's good that we get an early start. Let's head to Rustoboro.
*May nods, beaming with happiness*

[Alice!]

The two of you walk along, and after an hour or so a thunderstorm picks up. You botj race for cover in a nearby cave, and come to the genral consensus to wait out the storm. When the rain starts letting up, you take a look outside and are surprised to see that you managed to get in a cave on the edge of a lake. You see something in the corner of your eye, and the two of you look up in unison to see a giant bird flying far overhead, towards the ocean. As you continue watching, a large wind kicks up around the bird, and something small flys off in the winds and lands near the center of the lake.

A: What the?! (try to retrieve it)
S: How ordinary (continue onward)

[RipTide]

A:

~~~

Mist: Aweesome... Go, Staryu! Swim out to the middle of the lake and get whatever just fell from the sky.
May: Go Surskit, skid along with Staryu just incase anything tries to attack you.

[Alice!]

Staryu kicks off as Surskit skates along behind it. They approach the object, but just in front of it a spout of water bursts up. A large, spherical, whale rises and looks threateningly at Surskit. Staryu swoops down, but is blocked in mid-air by a flying pokemon in the shape of a heart. The heart and the whale go next to each other of head towards the object, always keeping an eye on Staryu and Surskit.

[RipTide]

Mist: Staryu, dive and swim past those pokes! Get that item and get back here! Your a heck of a lot faster than a Luvdisc and Wailmer!
May: Surskit, annoy those pokemon with quick attacks while Staryu goes for the item!

[Alice!]

Staryu speeds towards the item and grabs it, from a distance you can see that its reflecting light from the sun. Staryu spins around and starts coming back. Meanwhile, Luvdisc has been hitting Surskit with Tackle as Wailmer is Splashing about, attempting to drown the pond-skating bug.

[RipTide]

May: Do something Mist! They're hurting Surskit!
Mist: Staryu, rapid spin wailmer and luvdisc to momentarily stun them, then the both of you get back to shore!

[Alice!]

Staryu quickly hits Luvdisc, allowing Surskit to slip away from Wailmer's Splashes. Surskit and Staryu make a mad dash for the shore. As your pokrmon return you grab the item and take off while recalling Staryu and Surskit. After a couple of minutes of hard running the two of you stop to catch your breath and look over what you got. The item in question seems to be a large feather. The feather is white with a silver tint, and very reflective.

Silver Feather (Key Item) obtained

[RipTide]

Mist: *Pant* *Pant* Hey who is-
*May looks up as a young trainer walks by*
Trainer: Rumor has it you're looking for a Yanma. *the boy throws a pokeball, revealing a large and brilliant looking insect.* I'll trade you...
Mist: Well... *he looks sadly at this pokeballs* There are a couple pokemon on my team that don't get much time in the limelight. I just don't use them much... Chinchou and Cacnea
Trainer: Brilliant! I love those pokemon!
Mist: But one pokemon for two isn't fair...
Trainer: I hear you have an Oddish, how about a leaf stone too.
Mist: Wow... you certainly know a lot about me. Sure, deal!
Trainer: Perfect! *The two trainers swap pokeballs and items, and bid farewell to their pokemon.*
*Mist smiles as his Cacnea and Chinchou wave, dissappearing over the horizon with their new trainer*
Mist: I'm kind of sad... Chinchou was the first egg I ever hatched...
May: Don't worry Mist. That Yanma sure does seem to like you!
*The Yanma buzzes around and smiles at Mist*
Mist: I almost forgot!!! This feather...
May: Let's get to Rustoboro and ask Nurse Joy as we heal our pokemon.
Mist: Great idea. Let's go.

[Alice!]

You head onto Rustboro, and at the city limits you run into Wally. Wally runs up to you excitedly.

Wally: Hey there Mist, May! Check out what I found.

He throws a pokeball and a lazy looking pokemon lands on the ground and yawns. you point your dex at it.

Dex: Ping! Ping! Slakoth, the Slacker pokémon. Slakoth lolls around for over twenty hours every day. Because it moves so little, it does not need much food. This pokémon's sole daily meal consists of just three leaves. Whatever happens, it is content to loaf around motionless. It is rare to see this pokémon in motion. (Level 13, Male, Ability: Truant)

[RipTide]

Mist: Awesome Wally! Look what I got! *Mist whistels and the Yanma comes flying up next to Mist. It had been flying overhead as they walked*
May: Aw... that slakoth is cute!
Wally: So wuter we going to do now.
Mist: Let's go to the pokecenter, heal our pokemon and ask about the feather. *Mist shows Wally the feather* Then I want to challenge Roxanne. Oddish and Staryu are looking good for some gym battles.

[Alice!]

You walk on to the pokemon center and drop off your pokemon with Nurse Joy. You show her the feather, but she says she doesn't know what it is. "There's an old man who lives on the outskirts of town. Maybe you should show it to him." You get your pokemon back and exit the center.

[RipTide]

Mist: Should we go see him?
May: Yeah...
Wally: Sure!
Mist: I really want to battle first... But who knows, something good might happen on the way or at the old mans house. Everything happens for a reaso, and we found this feather. So well.. let's go!
*They exit the center and walk towards the old man's house. Mist frowns as they pass the gym, but he knows he'll get to battle sooner or later.*

EDIT:

Linux, what's your rule with attacks? Is the maximum 4 attacks? Some old dex's from a long time ago were unlimiited ror 6 or something. Or are we sticking with the 4? Makes know difference to me, I just want to give my Staryu a Rarcandy so it learns recover

[Alice!]

I prefer to use the four moves per pokemon method.

~~~

You enter his house and see an old man sitting in a rocking chair by his fireplace.

May:Excuse me sir. We were wondering if you could tell us what this is.

As she speaks she pulls the feather out of your pack and hands it too him.

Old Man: Oh my goodness. I never though I'd live to see the day. Tell me, how did you come across this feather?

[RipTide]

*Mist explained the story of how Staryu and Surskit retreived the feather after the giant bird flew overhead. Wally was amazed as he listened eagerly. Mist finished his story and waited for the old man to reply*

[Alice!]

Old Man: Well, young Mist, what you saw was none other than one of the legendary pokemon spoken of in myth. Long ago in Ecruteak City, there were two towers. Each was said to be the roost of a powerful flying pokemon, one of which was Lugia. One of the towers was destroyed in a mysterious fire, and the two pokemon haven't been seen since. There are those who say that Lugia flew off and dove into the sea to prevent its power from running rampant. It has always been a bringer of storms, and with one light fluttering of its mighty wings it could tear down the most well fortified of buildings. What you witnessed something very few people can ever claim to have seen. And as for that feather...well, I recommend you hold onto it.

Mist: Thank you sir. *Turns to Wally and May* Let's head back to the city so I can start my gym battle!

[Alice!]

You enter the gym and see massive amounts of rocks piled around the place. Roxanne and two of her trainers step forward.

Roxanne: So, which of you will be fighting me today?

[RipTide]

*Mist steps forward and clears his throat*
Mist: I will.

~~~

Should I go post in the rustoboro thread, and then make a thread called "Mist Vs Roxanne" ?

[Alice!]

Confirmed.

~~~

Wally and May step up to challenge the two trainers. They go off into side rooms as you stand in the main arena to fight Roxanne.

~~~

Wally and May'll do their own thing. This thread shouldn't be posted in again until you're done with Roxanne.

[RipTide]

*Mist runs down the gym hallways and finds the exit. He bursts into the sunlight cheering joyously and sends out his Oddish, Staryu, and Steelix who al; (allthough tired) cheer along with him*

Mist: AMAZING work guys! Hm... I wonder if May and Wally are done. I'll wait here for them. Then we need to go to the pokemon center and stop by the pokemart.

~~~
How many levels did my pokemon gain?
Edit: And, any money gained?

[Alice!]

Roxanne: Well, your friends should be done soon.

You strike up a conversation, and soon Wally and May come out at about the same time.

Wally: Great news Mist. I won!
May: Ha! Me too!

One level up each for Oddish, Staryu, Surskit, Wingull, and Diglett. Two levels up each for Treecko, Ralts, and Steelix.

[RipTide]

*the trainers walk out of the gym, beaming with joy.*
May: So I here there is a man just outside of Petalburg woods that will take us across the sea.
Mist: That'd be great! I can't wait to challenge the gym leader in Dewford! Yanma should have a wicked advantage there. Fighting does little damage against both bug and flying.
Wally:Let's heal our pokemon and head out then! ^__^

[Alice!]

You heal and head out of town, ready to take on the seas challenges. You eventually come upon a cliff overlooking the sea, as well as Mr. Briney's house. Realizing its night time, you decide to camp out and go see Briney in the morning. A few hours after you fall asleep, you are awoken by a rustling sound coming from below.

[RipTide]

Mist: I swear.. we never go a night without something startling us...
May: *Yawn* What?
Wally: Shhh May! There's something coming from in those bushes!
Mist: Alright, alright.. I got this covered... Go Yanma! Light up this area with signal beam quickly and lets drag that pokemon out. Oddish, you come out too! Use sweet scent. *Mist holds his poke'dex out, ready for any movement.*

[Alice!]

Yanma uses its light on the bushes, but you don't notice anything. After listening for a moment you realize that the sounds are coming from down the cliff. You look down and see a small group of people sneaking around Briney's house. One of them notices the light and glares at you. He whispers something to his compatriots and they start running up the path towards you.

[RipTide]

May: Who's that!!!
Wally: I don't know, but they sure look angry!
Mist: Well we're not afraid! Right guys?
May and Wally: Erm.....
Mist: Oh c'mon! Return Oddish. Yanma, you stick with me. Let's go meet up with these people and see what the problem is.

[Alice!]

The three of you run down the path and soon almost collide with three figures dressed in blue. You approach cautiously and you can see that two of them are male and one is female.

Woman: Hey you punks! Whaddaya think you're doing here. This is Team Aqua's job. You and your buddies at Magma can just stay out of this!

[RipTide]

May: Magma? We aren't from Magma!
Wally: See! Look! We don't have magma uniforms!
Mist: Hey-- aren't you the guys that May and I beat on our first day as trainers? When you tried to steal poke'balls from the professor!!! May and I knocked out your spheal and carvanha. Hahah good times... Is it them May?
May: Hm... they look familiar.... *readies a pokeball*
Wally: May.. Mist.. calllllm down....
