[Jason & Arthur] Onward and Forward!

[McBeaver]

<Yo bro! I ain't tryin' to hurt ya! My trainer doesn't wanna fight. His bro, as you can clearly see, is pretty cocky, thinks he can win it all. But really, two on one isn't fair. So how's about you back off and we talk, 'kay?> requested Kleine Vogel, the little bird Pokemon surprising himself by saying so much at one time. He never spoke this much in his life.

This time, the Supersonic hit, but was of no use, since Duskull would only hit himself with damaging moves, which he couldn't use due to the Encore, leaving him with just Disable. Quickly getting enough focus, both his eyes and the Ledyba's would turn a stony grey, and the move Supersonic would be temporarily forgotten.

((I much prefer the PMD version of Disable, paralysis is better than just taking off all your moves one by one, amirite?))

[Spiderc]

ooc: except a pokemon can only have 1 move disabled at a time, so you can't take them off one by one...

bic: Ledyba might have listened to Natu and stopped fighting, but when Duskull used Disable on it, the Bug type got mad. <You tell me to stop fighting, but then you go on and attack me anyway. I fail to see how that's supposed to convince me not to fight!> Knowing that with only normal type attacks he'd be unable to hurt the Duskull, Ledyba flew at Natu, trying to hit the Flying type with Comet Punch. Meanwhile, Hoppip stayed to the ground and started to clap it's hands together again, not wanting Duskull to be able to do anything but use Disable.

[McBeaver]

<I never attacked you, Lebka did!> shouted K.V., who continually jumped away from each swing of the Comet Punch. <I don't want to fight you, okay? So can we all please just stay calm? It's worthless trying to fight an opponent who refuses your challenge. I know I'm not normally a man of many words, but I'm giving you mine that I don't want to hurt you, neither does my trainer, and for the record, that last Disable was for self-defense. So please, let's all be calm...>[/color]

Luckily, the Encore was already in effect, so it wouldn't work again on an opponent already affected by it. But sadly, Disable failed as well, so basically both turns were wasted.

[Spiderc]

After hearing what the Natu said, Ledyba paused for a second and just sat there, hovering. After thinking about it for a little, he spoke. <Alright, if you mean us no harm, then just let us pass. I'll accept that this was just a misunderstanding if you let us continue on our way.> Meanwhile, the Hoppip turned its attention away from Duskull and faced Natu, knowing that the Ghost type couldn't do it any harm. Besides, it was fairly obvious that the Natu was the one in charge, and would decide whether he could continue south.

ooc: sorry about the wait/ew post

[McBeaver]

<Uh, well actually, I think the humans wanted you to join us on our journey... Hence why the younger one commanded his Duskull to attack...> said K.V. with a sigh, forgetting that they were just passing through.

Lebka Disabled. Lebka's Disable failed. Not much else to say about that.

[Spiderc]

The Ledyba nodded very slightly, he had known that was the reason behind the attack, and knew that his response would probably lead to the fighting starting again. <I'm afraid that's quite impossible. I am escorting Hoppip to his family, and I promised them that I'd bring him to them safety.> Suddenly, a small wind picked up, and although it was so slight that it barely rustled leaves on the trees, Hoppip immediately got picked off the ground and started floating away. Less than a second later, Ledyba took off after the Grass type as it slowly floated away. The Bug type knew quite well that the Natu would probably attack him, figuring that they were trying to escape, but Ledyba's only thought was getting Hoppip home safely.

[McBeaver]

Whatever the Ledyba was thinking was totally wrong. K.V. actually didn't even feel like fighting or anything. In fact, Arthur had returned him to his Pokeball. Jason sighed and did the same with Lebka, and the two of them continued walking in the opposite direction.

[Spiderc]

After the brothers had been walking for a little while, they came across a trainer with an Aron and a Growlithe. "Alright, Aron use a Tackle on that tree!" With a nod, the Steel type charged the plant and without even wincing, Tackled the tree, causing the tree to shake considerably, but the Aron seemed unfazed. Suddenly, the trainer noticed Jason and Arthur and turned around to face them. "Ahh, just what i needed, some opponents... would you two be up for a battle?" The trainer then gave a nod and a small gesture to his Pokemon and the pair moved in front of him, ready to fight.

[!]Cooltrainer Phillip wants to Fight[!]

[McBeaver]

"Lupine, get into position," shouted Arthur, releasing his Poochyena from it's Pokeball as the words escaped his smirking lips. "Jason," he mutted to his brother,"I'd suggest you use Jakost, it was a powerful advantage against his Aron." The younger sibling of the two nodded, showing his approval of this plan, and promptly, with much drama, tossed the Machop's 'ball into the field, letting the Pokemon out in a burst of white light. "Alrighty then, I'm guessing we'll be using one, and you'll use your two?" asked Arthur, assuming that was all that could possibly be done by their opponent. "You may have the first move," added Jason, to be polite. After all, the challenger should always go first.

[Spiderc]

Phillip smiled and gave a mocking bow at the brothers, "Why, thank you ever so much! Growlithe, you use a Heat Wave on the both of them, while Aron uses Mud-Slap on that Poochyena" Neither Pokemon gave any acknowledgment to their trainer, but both started to act. Growlithe took in a large breath, and then started to spew flames at the defending pair. Meanwhile, Aron was unable to find any mud, so the Steel type started to just kick dirt at the Poochyena instead.

ooc: btw, the growlithe isn't level 45, it got heat wave as an egg move

[McBeaver]

"Dodge it!" said both brothers in unison. Sadly, Lupine did not know what to do, and was scorched by the Heat Wave, and tossed back a bit by the "Sand-Slap." At that point, the Poochyena knew this wasn't a game like everything else [And I mean everything else.] was in his young life. Jakost, on the other hand, was fast enough to escape the burst of wind-esque embers. "Low Kick!" commanded Jason, and his Machop reacted quickly, charging down the Aron.

After a moment of recovery, Lupine charged forward, with a Tackle of his own free will, without any commands, at the Growlithe.

[Spiderc]

"Aron, don't try to dodge, use Harden instead." The Rock type nodded and hunkered itself lower to the ground while simultaneously growing another layer to its already hard shell. Growlithe, also decided to try a counter attack rather than trying to dodge, it sat on its hind legs and Roared at the Poochyena hoping to deter it from attacking. Aron, only the other hand, had no choice but to sit there and wait for the Machop's kick, which was a brutal hit, sending him flying backward a little. "Alright Aron, now use the new move i just taught you!" With a quick nod, the Aron curled itself into a ball and started to roll toward Machop at an ever increasing speed.

ooc: lol, don't worry, no more surprises, heat wave on growlithe and rollout on aron are the only special moves they have

[McBeaver]

The Roar definitely blew Lupine off course. Being only a puppy, the youthful Poochyena wasn't used to all the sights, smells, and sounds of the world, so loud, sporadic noises like the Roar just then easily frightened him. Lupine came back to Arthur, whimpering, and Arthur just smiled, patted him on the head, and said,"It's okay." Lupine nodded, turned around, and charged again.

"Meditate a bit, so the Harden becomes useless," commanded Jason, and Jakost just sat down, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, folded his hands, held his arms up horizontally, took a deep breath, and slowly but surely, his attack power grew.
