Elena looked at the Noibat, before eating the oran berry, and quickly jumping on him at a very fast speed, having seen the phanpy going to use mud. It would be really bad for her... And she knew why. She holds on, hoping that the noibat could hold on.
"Thank you...." Elena then says, looking at the noibat from the back. She looked down at the ground, and breath deeply. Later she knew she would be flying, but for now... ground attacks really did hurt her. And poison... why... why did poison hurt that much... She hated poison types... But there was no time to think about that. She just hoped they could beat those guys.
Bio: Born originally on distant plains, Miti was exiled from his herd of birth over allegations of promiscuous activity. As it would be, the other stallions failed to take kindly to the seduction of their own mares. Less of all the chief who was the angriest of all. And in actuality, the exile was more fleeing to protect his pride from angry hooves, laughing into the sunset.
His adventures could have easily ended the day he got out of his kinsmen's range. But as it is, there are playthings just too hard to exist and itches too hard to leave ignored. And every new herd he approached would be one old one to chase him out. Again, with Miti laughing his way into the sunset.
Sunsets turned to nights, and suns rose as he delved deeper into the wilderness held as unknown to his fellow ponyta. And with the deeper he thrust into them the more he learned he was something of an exotic specimen. And changes in habits from these communities more often times than not allowed for deeper discretion in his activity, hidden away in the night and behind closed doors. All the same, the partners of those he tempted expressed all the same anger and he was chased off into the night again, or fighting hoof-to-claw with something to get away. Something of which he was nearly taken down by.
As he traveled, he delved deep into a thick forest along a narrow path, coming to a secluded visit. As he would normally have it, he stayed for a while. And as it was, the beds he sought would kick him out and he'd flee. But as it would be an angry Rhyperior would almost extinguish his flames.
Forced to the bring Miti dueled the angry male until being thrown from a cliff. Left for dead, the vengeful Rhyperior left him for dead. But he lay there, his mane and tail smoldering embers has he choked and coughed in the dusk. As his challenger left, and the shadows of the village sulked back to the village a wane smile crawled onto his face. He was again, alive. For the time being.
In his weak state, he was in no business to chase tail. Let alone do anything but crawl and struggle through the dirt as he struggled to move along.
His fires returned but his injuries never really healed. From the moment he struggled back to his hooves he trotted with a limp, one leg disjointed.
Any normal living creature would cease his travels, but he continued. Pushing into more territory unknown to his kin, and rocked by troubles its own.
Appearance: Cream-colored Ponyta stallion. Blue eyes. Right-rear leg disjointed and broken from his injuries. Wears a cocky smile.
Differences: Slower to run now-a-days with the lasting effects of an injury, and weakened hearing on the right side.
Other: I swear to God, if this is another RP with a keyword thing...
"I can't believe it! - CANNOT! Believe it!" I laugh, hopping around my room, jumping on my bed. I turn to my life-size poster of Spruce, lead trumpet for The Odd Ones Out. "One of my worst lies all year, and they didn't doubt me for one bit!" I stick my tongue out, mimicking my sickness, bleh, I feel awful, oh man, I think I'm gonna faint! It's amazing the fact they believed it! "You been keeping track, Spruce? This is my 5th sick day this year." I grab my pair of glasses, blinking quickly to adjust it. I don't know how many more times dad's gonna fall for it!" It's true - week after week, Dad kept on saying stuff about how I better start signing up for the guild before they fill up - which is doubtful, to be honest, they've got like, a bunch of people outside their guild protesting against the whole Anti-Dragon muck up. Personally, I don't care, I mean, I'm staying as far away as I can from th-
Hang on a sec. "Gramps? You awake?" Nothing. I feign another coughing, groaning. "I'm feeling real sick today, grampa, so I'm just gonna...stay...in..." I peek through the crack in the door. He's asleep with a book over his face, snoring like crazy. "...side. Sweet!" Tip-toeing my way past him, grabbing my satchel and stuffing it with comic books, a Spruce key-chain for good luck, and Dad's hat. "Alrighty...lessee...we oughta head...thisaway!" I check the map, muttering the location...Secret Cave? Sounds fair enough...

After the togepi grabs onto my feet, I fly up higher just to be sure to avoid the attack. It works, the phanpy tried and failed to throw mud at me, again, thanks mostly due to the fact that I could, and did, simply fly out of the way of the attack. I take that missed attack as an opprotunity to use screech on the phanpy, lowering the thing's defense even further. I would have kept flying, however, the togepi was getting to be too much for me to continue, and I had to land. "Okay, you can let go, now." I say to the togepi, getting hit by a poison sting and another leech life. The leech life didn't do too much, however, the poison sting seemed to have left me feeling sick... oh, right, poison. Wait, don't I have something in here for that? I think as I dig through the bag, trying to remember exactly which berry did what. It was easy enough to remember what the oran did, simply heal simple bruises, as well as energize whomever ate it, but for some stupid reason, I could never figure out which of these two, the cheri or the pecha actually healed poison.

Name: Nick Storm
Species: Pancham
Gender: ♂
Level: 10
Moves:
-Tackle
-Leer
-Arm Thrust
-Work Up
Bio: Nick lived on an oasis out in the desert for the majority of his life. His home was built on an island in the middle, and although it was small, it was comfortable. To travellers lost in the desert, it was much more than comfortable. It was life-saving. The occasional bandit would show up, but most of them weren’t too hard to deal with. For a while, it was a good place to live.
This didn’t last long, however. When the legendary birds started attacking other Pokemon on sight, most of Nick’s family retreated to Allure Town, since the high population meant it was a lot safer. A few of them stayed, and Nick was one of them. Together, they managed to keep the legendary birds away from the oasis, and when the dust finally settled, the oasis was still intact. The few that remained at the oasis continued to live there for a while, but the ones who fled to Allure Town didn’t come back.
Eventually, everyone else had left the oasis to join their family members in Allure. Nick didn’t. He had been to Allure Town multiple times, and the amount of Pokemon living there was way too much for his liking. He was alone, but that was better than living in Allure.
This lasted for about a year, but then one day, when he was out gathering berries from the plants that grew in the oasis, he saw some commotion out on the horizon. He was too far away to see exactly what was going on, but when he went out to get a closer look, nothing was left but an egg sitting in the sand. He looked around, and called out to see if the egg’s parents were still around, but whoever was there before was long gone. Nick brought the egg back to the oasis, hoping that he wasn’t too late.
The egg hatched into a Houndour a few days later. Nick named him Harley, and before long he grew very fond of him. Taking care of Harley wasn’t too hard, as the oasis provided plenty of food and water for both of them. However, Harley did seem lonely at times. Nick felt bad, and had even considered moving to Allure Town so Harley could meet other Pokemon his age, but he never acted on his thoughts until one day when he was forced to.
Little did Nick know, something was happening with the legendary beasts, similar to what happened ten years ago with the birds. While Entei was rampaging through the desert, he happened to stumble upon the oasis. The attack took Nick by surprise, and although he was able to keep the legendary birds away when a few of his family members were helping him, this time it was just him and Harley. They were no match for Entei, who soon burnt the oasis to a crisp. Nick and Harley both fled too Allure Town, unsure of what to do now that the oasis was gone.
Appearance: Nick looks like an ordinary Pancham, but a ten gallon hat sets him apart from the others. He also wears a bandana around his neck, which he pulls up to cover his mouth and nose during a sandstorm.
Differences: Years of living in an area where sandstorms are pretty common has made Nick immune to any damage from them.

Elena then drops on the ground before using extrasensory again, trying to beat the crap out of the phanpy. She then notice the noibat being poisoned and looking for a certain berry.
"Don't have a pecha berry?" she asks. She then throws one from her back to him, before getting hit by 2 poison sting attacks. She turns around and uses extrasensory once again, which, lucky for her, crits and faints one of the spineraks. The phanpy was getting mad now, and then rushed and tried to tackle Elena. She quickly drops down and roll, before using... Thundershock on one of the bugs, and paralysing it.

Escape, Famous Millionaire!
I floated back to where I came from, sword pointed down so I didn't puncture some unfortunate Drifloon - this has actually happened before. Nearly got prosecuted for manslaughter until the Drifloon made a miraculous recovery. Upon reaching the big and generic doors to the lobby again, it took me considerable effort to swing open the damn thing.
"Why... won't this..."
I was about to end it with open, but I had already nearly sprawled out onto the floor of the lobby. It was considerably big, with Pokemon of all sorts looking around and consulting others for missions to take.
"Hey, Extravagance!" Dear God. Not her again. That damned lady I regret inviting to my tea parties... "How're you doing? I'm surprised you even came here!" Damn Chelsea. She just has to come over and hug me to death.
"Please... let me... breath...!" I struggled to say, her grip only getting tighter. She was a bulky Espurr, and it was always creepy when she refused to let go of me. After what seemed to be two years, I was finally let go. "God damn it, would you cut it out with the hugs!? I've already been to hospital because of you." I cried, floating up again and hoping she'd LISTEN FOR ONCE.
"Oh. Sorry about that. I just can't stop but hug you, you cute-"
Alright; let's skip this part.
"Whatever." I muttered, climbing up the reception and giving the lady a nasty surprise. Well, I gave myself a nasty surprise. "Oh my god-"
Urgh. I had to drag myself away, AGAIN. This time, out of the guild. The window exit was rather small and possibly cramped, but it was my best way out. Seriously, I had everyone after me for some reason. And I certainly don't think people chase millionaires and other rich people like me.
(Annnnnd you're all set to go, creeperlink! I like your character dude and all, and as for Harley, if you'd like to, you can make an app. It's not necessary, only if you'd like to. No rush on that!)

Me? CRAZY? No, no, I believe you're mistaken, I mean, I mean, HEY! I just met you, and uh...this! This is crazy! So, here's a number. And, call me, maybe? AHAHA.
I noticed the phanpy trying to attack the togepi that I was trying to rescue, and use tackle on the thing. The attack actually did some damage, thanks to the thing's lowered defenses from my usage of screech, earlier, however, his attack hurt me quite a bit... mainly because I kinda lacked defense, to begin with, and have been taking a few more attacks than I should have. The two of us get thrown backwards from each other's attack, and one of the spinerack tried to use leech life on me, again. Thankfully, that attack never really did much to me, thanks to my flying type, and the fact that it's a very weak attack. A string shot is formed in some sort of attempt to slow me down, however, once I was able, I used tailwind, again, basically nullifying the string shot, as well as boosting the togepi's speed. The phanpy got another attack on me, and I felt as though I couldn't take much more. This is bad... I gotta get outta here. I think as one of the bugs prepares to attack me. With the thought that it was either this or fail my first mission, I pick up the togepi, again, and fly up to the top of one of the trees... of course, they were all right behind me, yet, thankfully, couldn't get to me. I let go of the togepi as soon as I find a thick enough branch, and land right next to her. "Whew... that was close. I thought for sure that they'd knock me out." I say to her, after that.

Elena was breathing heavily.
"Thank you... thank you for saving me back there." she then says, breathing heavily. She then goes to her bag and then gets some berries out.
"How can I even repay you..." she says, unsure about how to thank him enough. He actually saved her life back there. She sighed, only finding cherie berries, pecha berries and... a sitrus berry? If she would have known she had one of those in her bag... She puts all the berries out, and looks more.
Continuing outside, I bite down on the map, quickly jotting something down in my note. Alrighty, better ideas for the next time you're doing the whole "I'm sick" charade...lick your palms next time, yeah, that'll get them! Clammy hands or something, Barry always suggested that... I shake my head and continue on down, securing my specs tighter and Dad's hat backwards, just the way he'd hate it, too! He'd never expect to see me out wearing it like this - so, he'd never expect me to be walking around out today!
South of the square and then east...that's where the Secret Cave oughta be! Well, at least, that's where my comics tell me it is...and who's ever heard of a comic telling a lie? So far so good, anywa- Krissy. "KRISSY. Ah, crud...how'd I forget about her?!" She's out shopping around the bazaar with her friends, chatting it up that Birch guy, yuck... I tilt my hat back around right, covering my face, plopping a comic in front of me. Huh. Convenient. This place has a map leading to that Secret Cave! Now if I can just...stay outta my sister's way...

((I'm going to stop with the titles for a little while, can't seem to come up with any decent ones, anymore.))
I start to take a rest until I notice the sitrus berry that the togepi pulled out of her bag. My eyes shine, and in an instant the berry was gone. The berry had an odd flavor, it was hard to describe... almost as if it were a perfect mix between sweetness and bitterness, between saltyness and sourness, and with an added spicyness, as well. That berry was my favorite, and has been ever since I've tried my first one back when I used to live in Scale City. "Th-thank you..." I manage to say after swallowing the berry. I then decide to play a little joke. It was a common misconception that members of my species were bloodsuckers, and I thought I'd have a little fun with that, adding "Now all I need is... YOUR LIFE ESSENCE!" I tried to sound as scary as a weak and, frankly timid pokemon could, though, I had a suspicion that the togepi already knew that I wasn't serious about what I had just said. The fact that I didn't exactly sound convincing, and the fact that I was, at this very moment, holding back laughter, probably sealed the fate of my little lie. My poor performance was probably going to make that joke fall flat, and the lie figured out earlier than it was supposed to be.

Elena stares at the Noibat, staring, and laugh a bit, before sparks start forming around her head at her points.
"Think I would be that easy, I think a little shock would just stop that idea." she says before laughing a bit more, and then calming down.
"Sorry, I... I am just happy that we got away from that dang elephant... dang ground types... Always made me have trouble.... Thank you..." she says again calmly. So this noibat liked Sitrus berries alot. Well... guess she could give more if she find more. She then looks down, unsure what to do. She was trying to train up... but she only ended up in trouble.
"I... I just don't know what I could do now." she then says.

Die, Famous Millionaire!
Seeing as I was outside in the most beautiful landscape I've witnessed in my entire life... I ought to do that mission that Arnold asked me to do. Man, that Oran berry business WAS hard to remember, as it just struck me when I ate a stray Oran berry on the ground...
"Get him!" An exclamation mark formed over may head, as I was suddenly assaulted by a Spinarak and two Caterpies.
If I was a true Honedge, I would've laughed at them as their teeth and claws broke upon hitting me. However, these damned bugs managed to get a grip in me. "Oh get out of my way." I said with annoyance, performing a Swords Dance that I taught myself as a kid. I threw off a Caterpie and began cutting furiously at the thing. Of course, the other coated me in some damn thing, but he did NOT expect me to duck and lunge at it.
So anyway... Spinarak and suviving Caterpie retreated. This one was pretty badly cut, but I had little remorse for that thing. "Gotta find them... and no more eating stray Oran berries." I warned to myself, floating off and swearing to myself.
"It ain't too far, now. We should be gettin' close."
"I'm tired, Nick. I can't-"
Harley stopped mid-sentence as some buildings appeared on the horizon. Nick looked down at him, smiling. "Told you it wasn't too far."
The apparent pain in Harley's feet suddenly seemed to go away. He excitedly ran ahead, but Nick couldn't cath up with all of the stuff he was carrying. Harley turned around after noticing he left Nick behind. He ran around him a few times before finally coming to a stop. "Come on, Nick! Quit goin' so slow!"
"You run ahead. I'll catch up."
"You sure?" Harley asked, and after a slight nod from Nick, he dashed towards the town ahead.
Nick adjusted the strap giong over his shoulder. The bag he was carrying contained everything they'd managed to grab before Entei burned their home to the ground. It was heavy, considering it was just a bunch of berries and a few of Harley's things. He was slowed down quite a bit by it, but soon he would finally be able to put all of this stuff down.
Meanwhile, Harley had already made it to Allure. He'd never seen so many Pokemon in one place before, so his excitement was understandable. He wasn't paying much attention to where he was going, and ended up bumping into a Mudkip who had a comic in front of his face. "Sorry 'bout that. I didn't mean to bump into you."
"Just...gotta...keep...WAAH-HA-WHAA!" I stumble backwards, bumping into another Pokemon. I get up, quickly looking past him and towards my big 'sis, hiding behind the Houndour. "Geez-louize, uh, nono, don't be sorry, sorry I wasn't..." I peer over him again...she's not looking. Sweet. I stand back up and brush myself off, rolling my comic back into my satchel, glancing at a name real quick, re-adjusting my 3-D glasses. "Right, sorry. Won't happen again, as uh, I'm, uh...yeah! Don'tcha know who I am?" I lower my voice a bit, in a monotous tone.
"I'm Mr. Hall. Marshall Hall. You can call me Extravagence." I cringe, how the heck is this guy supposed to believe me? Any native to Allure Town knows that guy's super rich and super...dumb!

"Well, now that I'm feeling better, maybe I can finish off that phanpy." I suggest. I don't even wait for the togepi's opinion in that manner, and jump off of my branch, only to have my wings catch me in the air, and have me swooping down to finish off the phanpy with one last tackle. I wouldn't have normally been able to finish off the phanpy, however, I had found a weak spot on him... the dead center of his back seemed a little off, and I was in the perfect position to exploit that, dive-bombing right into that weak point, and causing him to collapse. His three remaining bug friends, seeing that their leader was knocked out, jumped up in surprise, and decided to cut their losses, carrying their boss out of the area, apparently to prevent any further harm to him. "Huh..." I kinda mutter to myself before shouting "Hey, whoever you are, it's safe to come down, now!" I really need to get that togepi's name... heck, maybe I could get her to help me out with this whole 'guild' thing, after all, for some reason, I'm called a team, according to the guild. I think as I simply wait for the togepi to come down... of course, I should probably have been told that I was supposed to fly her down instead of having her fall to her possible doom... well, maybe I'm not always the smartest pokemon around, then.

God Save You Three
The forest was getting darker and darker, the further I walked into it. Trees began to replace the light and thick bushes were perfect opportunities for ambushes... thankfully, stray Oran berries that were really triggers for traps often helped me get more HP back than lost. However, once I really got into the forest, there was little light left. It was as if the cloud followed me, only as trees. The air began to smell dry and... good lord, there was a lot of oxygen around. I didn't need it, but if a living Pokemon decided to breath in ALL the air in this area, he'd probably faint.
"Hello? I've got some people to save..." I was rudely interrupted by a damned little convoy. Two Spinaraks and a... elephant. I didn't to read the Book of Species for a while. "Woah... what happened?" They only ran faster, trying to get away from me and disappearing into some leaves. "Urgh. This forest is not kind to Pokemon... inhabitants alike." I muttered to myself, banging hilt against a tree, before traveling further to where the supposed help message came from.
Harley smiled. "Well, hi there, Exavregence...Extragevence...um...Extravegence. " It was clear that he had trouble pronouncing the name. "I'm Harley. I'm new 'round here."
Nick finally made it to Allure, and saw Harley talking to a Mudkip. "Hey, Harley. I see you're already makin' friends. That's good." He slowly walked over to one of the benches and sat down. He put the bag he was carrying on the ground, and fell asleep almost instantly.
"That was Nick. Me and him came down here from the desert." Harley explained. "Anyway, what were you doin' hidin' behind a comic book like that?"
I blink, grinning slightly. They bought it! "Oh, uh, no reason! Honestly, I'm just a big fan of comic books is all!" Geez, what an excuse for that. They won't believe that...and what does this Mr. Hall guy sound like, anyway? British? Let me try that... "And, oh, bollocks, I seem to have uh, forgotten that I..." I blink, peering back behind the two. Krissy's gone! "Aha! She's gone!" I turn to the two I just met, staring at me confused. "Oh, uh, r- wait, you said you two are from the desert? So, no experience with this guild whatsoever, neither?" Sweet! New people! "Well, gee, uh, let me start this over. Hi! I'm Ferris! Ferris Torrents! Son of Breen Torrents, grandson of Booker Torrents! That whole Mr. Hall stuff was just uh...to see if you believed me or not, yeah! That's it..." Work with it, Ferris...

"Thank you...." Elena then says, looking at the noibat from the back. She looked down at the ground, and breath deeply. Later she knew she would be flying, but for now... ground attacks really did hurt her. And poison... why... why did poison hurt that much... She hated poison types... But there was no time to think about that. She just hoped they could beat those guys.

After the togepi grabs onto my feet, I fly up higher just to be sure to avoid the attack. It works, the phanpy tried and failed to throw mud at me, again, thanks mostly due to the fact that I could, and did, simply fly out of the way of the attack. I take that missed attack as an opprotunity to use screech on the phanpy, lowering the thing's defense even further. I would have kept flying, however, the togepi was getting to be too much for me to continue, and I had to land. "Okay, you can let go, now." I say to the togepi, getting hit by a poison sting and another leech life. The leech life didn't do too much, however, the poison sting seemed to have left me feeling sick... oh, right, poison. Wait, don't I have something in here for that? I think as I dig through the bag, trying to remember exactly which berry did what. It was easy enough to remember what the oran did, simply heal simple bruises, as well as energize whomever ate it, but for some stupid reason, I could never figure out which of these two, the cheri or the pecha actually healed poison.

To travellers lost in the desert, it was much more than comfortable. It was life-saving. The occasional bandit would show up, but most of them weren’t too hard to deal with. For a while, it was a good place to live.
This didn’t last long, however. When the legendary birds started attacking other Pokemon on sight, most of Nick’s family retreated to Allure Town, since the high population meant it was a lot safer. A few of them stayed, and Nick was one of them. Together, they managed to keep the legendary birds away from the oasis, and when the dust finally settled, the oasis was still intact. The few that remained at the oasis continued to live there for a while, but the ones who fled to Allure Town didn’t come back.
Eventually, everyone else had left the oasis to join their family members in Allure. Nick didn’t. He had been to Allure Town multiple times, and the amount of Pokemon living there was way too much for his liking. He was alone, but that was better than living in Allure.
This lasted for about a year, but then one day, when he was out gathering berries from the plants that grew in the oasis, he saw some commotion out on the horizon. He was too far away to see exactly what was going on, but when he went out to get a closer look, nothing was left but an egg sitting in the sand. He looked around, and called out to see if the egg’s parents were still around, but whoever was there before was long gone. Nick brought the egg back to the oasis, hoping that he wasn’t too late.
The egg hatched into a Houndour a few days later. Nick named him Harley, and before long he grew very fond of him. Taking care of Harley wasn’t too hard, as the oasis provided plenty of food and water for both of them. However, Harley did seem lonely at times. Nick felt bad, and had even considered moving to Allure Town so Harley could meet other Pokemon his age, but he never acted on his thoughts until one day when he was forced to.
Little did Nick know, something was happening with the legendary beasts, similar to what happened ten years ago with the birds. While Entei was rampaging through the desert, he happened to stumble upon the oasis. The attack took Nick by surprise, and although he was able to keep the legendary birds away when a few of his family members were helping him, this time it was just him and Harley. They were no match for Entei, who soon burnt the oasis to a crisp. Nick and Harley both fled too Allure Town, unsure of what to do now that the oasis was gone.
Appearance: Nick looks like an ordinary Pancham, but a ten gallon hat sets him apart from the others. He also wears a bandana around his neck, which he pulls up to cover his mouth and nose during a sandstorm.
Differences: Years of living in an area where sandstorms are pretty common has made Nick immune to any damage from them.
Other: Should I make another app for Harley?
"Don't have a pecha berry?" she asks. She then throws one from her back to him, before getting hit by 2 poison sting attacks. She turns around and uses extrasensory once again, which, lucky for her, crits and faints one of the spineraks. The phanpy was getting mad now, and then rushed and tried to tackle Elena. She quickly drops down and roll, before using... Thundershock on one of the bugs, and paralysing it.
I floated back to where I came from, sword pointed down so I didn't puncture some unfortunate Drifloon - this has actually happened before. Nearly got prosecuted for manslaughter until the Drifloon made a miraculous recovery. Upon reaching the big and generic doors to the lobby again, it took me considerable effort to swing open the damn thing.
"Why... won't this..."
I was about to end it with open, but I had already nearly sprawled out onto the floor of the lobby. It was considerably big, with Pokemon of all sorts looking around and consulting others for missions to take.
"Hey, Extravagance!" Dear God. Not her again. That damned lady I regret inviting to my tea parties... "How're you doing? I'm surprised you even came here!" Damn Chelsea. She just has to come over and hug me to death.
"Please... let me... breath...!" I struggled to say, her grip only getting tighter. She was a bulky Espurr, and it was always creepy when she refused to let go of me. After what seemed to be two years, I was finally let go. "God damn it, would you cut it out with the hugs!? I've already been to hospital because of you." I cried, floating up again and hoping she'd LISTEN FOR ONCE.
"Oh. Sorry about that. I just can't stop but hug you, you cute-"
Alright; let's skip this part.
"Whatever." I muttered, climbing up the reception and giving the lady a nasty surprise. Well, I gave myself a nasty surprise. "Oh my god-"
Urgh. I had to drag myself away, AGAIN. This time, out of the guild. The window exit was rather small and possibly cramped, but it was my best way out. Seriously, I had everyone after me for some reason. And I certainly don't think people chase millionaires and other rich people like me.
I noticed the phanpy trying to attack the togepi that I was trying to rescue, and use tackle on the thing. The attack actually did some damage, thanks to the thing's lowered defenses from my usage of screech, earlier, however, his attack hurt me quite a bit... mainly because I kinda lacked defense, to begin with, and have been taking a few more attacks than I should have. The two of us get thrown backwards from each other's attack, and one of the spinerack tried to use leech life on me, again. Thankfully, that attack never really did much to me, thanks to my flying type, and the fact that it's a very weak attack. A string shot is formed in some sort of attempt to slow me down, however, once I was able, I used tailwind, again, basically nullifying the string shot, as well as boosting the togepi's speed. The phanpy got another attack on me, and I felt as though I couldn't take much more. This is bad... I gotta get outta here. I think as one of the bugs prepares to attack me. With the thought that it was either this or fail my first mission, I pick up the togepi, again, and fly up to the top of one of the trees... of course, they were all right behind me, yet, thankfully, couldn't get to me. I let go of the togepi as soon as I find a thick enough branch, and land right next to her. "Whew... that was close. I thought for sure that they'd knock me out." I say to her, after that.
"Thank you... thank you for saving me back there." she then says, breathing heavily. She then goes to her bag and then gets some berries out.
"How can I even repay you..." she says, unsure about how to thank him enough. He actually saved her life back there. She sighed, only finding cherie berries, pecha berries and... a sitrus berry? If she would have known she had one of those in her bag... She puts all the berries out, and looks more.
South of the square and then east...that's where the Secret Cave oughta be! Well, at least, that's where my comics tell me it is...and who's ever heard of a comic telling a lie? So far so good, anywa- Krissy. "KRISSY. Ah, crud...how'd I forget about her?!" She's out shopping around the bazaar with her friends, chatting it up that Birch guy, yuck... I tilt my hat back around right, covering my face, plopping a comic in front of me. Huh. Convenient. This place has a map leading to that Secret Cave! Now if I can just...stay outta my sister's way...
I start to take a rest until I notice the sitrus berry that the togepi pulled out of her bag. My eyes shine, and in an instant the berry was gone. The berry had an odd flavor, it was hard to describe... almost as if it were a perfect mix between sweetness and bitterness, between saltyness and sourness, and with an added spicyness, as well. That berry was my favorite, and has been ever since I've tried my first one back when I used to live in Scale City. "Th-thank you..." I manage to say after swallowing the berry. I then decide to play a little joke. It was a common misconception that members of my species were bloodsuckers, and I thought I'd have a little fun with that, adding "Now all I need is... YOUR LIFE ESSENCE!" I tried to sound as scary as a weak and, frankly timid pokemon could, though, I had a suspicion that the togepi already knew that I wasn't serious about what I had just said. The fact that I didn't exactly sound convincing, and the fact that I was, at this very moment, holding back laughter, probably sealed the fate of my little lie. My poor performance was probably going to make that joke fall flat, and the lie figured out earlier than it was supposed to be.
"Think I would be that easy, I think a little shock would just stop that idea." she says before laughing a bit more, and then calming down.
"Sorry, I... I am just happy that we got away from that dang elephant... dang ground types... Always made me have trouble.... Thank you..." she says again calmly. So this noibat liked Sitrus berries alot. Well... guess she could give more if she find more. She then looks down, unsure what to do. She was trying to train up... but she only ended up in trouble.
"I... I just don't know what I could do now." she then says.
Seeing as I was outside in the most beautiful landscape I've witnessed in my entire life... I ought to do that mission that Arnold asked me to do. Man, that Oran berry business WAS hard to remember, as it just struck me when I ate a stray Oran berry on the ground...
"Get him!" An exclamation mark formed over may head, as I was suddenly assaulted by a Spinarak and two Caterpies.
If I was a true Honedge, I would've laughed at them as their teeth and claws broke upon hitting me. However, these damned bugs managed to get a grip in me. "Oh get out of my way." I said with annoyance, performing a Swords Dance that I taught myself as a kid. I threw off a Caterpie and began cutting furiously at the thing. Of course, the other coated me in some damn thing, but he did NOT expect me to duck and lunge at it.
So anyway... Spinarak and suviving Caterpie retreated. This one was pretty badly cut, but I had little remorse for that thing. "Gotta find them... and no more eating stray Oran berries." I warned to myself, floating off and swearing to myself.
"It ain't too far, now. We should be gettin' close."
"I'm tired, Nick. I can't-"
Harley stopped mid-sentence as some buildings appeared on the horizon. Nick looked down at him, smiling. "Told you it wasn't too far."
The apparent pain in Harley's feet suddenly seemed to go away. He excitedly ran ahead, but Nick couldn't cath up with all of the stuff he was carrying. Harley turned around after noticing he left Nick behind. He ran around him a few times before finally coming to a stop. "Come on, Nick! Quit goin' so slow!"
"You run ahead. I'll catch up."
"You sure?" Harley asked, and after a slight nod from Nick, he dashed towards the town ahead.
Nick adjusted the strap giong over his shoulder. The bag he was carrying contained everything they'd managed to grab before Entei burned their home to the ground. It was heavy, considering it was just a bunch of berries and a few of Harley's things. He was slowed down quite a bit by it, but soon he would finally be able to put all of this stuff down.
Meanwhile, Harley had already made it to Allure. He'd never seen so many Pokemon in one place before, so his excitement was understandable. He wasn't paying much attention to where he was going, and ended up bumping into a Mudkip who had a comic in front of his face. "Sorry 'bout that. I didn't mean to bump into you."
"I'm Mr. Hall. Marshall Hall. You can call me Extravagence." I cringe, how the heck is this guy supposed to believe me? Any native to Allure Town knows that guy's super rich and super...dumb!
The forest was getting darker and darker, the further I walked into it. Trees began to replace the light and thick bushes were perfect opportunities for ambushes... thankfully, stray Oran berries that were really triggers for traps often helped me get more HP back than lost. However, once I really got into the forest, there was little light left. It was as if the cloud followed me, only as trees. The air began to smell dry and... good lord, there was a lot of oxygen around. I didn't need it, but if a living Pokemon decided to breath in ALL the air in this area, he'd probably faint.
"Hello? I've got some people to save..." I was rudely interrupted by a damned little convoy. Two Spinaraks and a... elephant. I didn't to read the Book of Species for a while. "Woah... what happened?" They only ran faster, trying to get away from me and disappearing into some leaves. "Urgh. This forest is not kind to Pokemon... inhabitants alike." I muttered to myself, banging hilt against a tree, before traveling further to where the supposed help message came from.
Nick finally made it to Allure, and saw Harley talking to a Mudkip. "Hey, Harley. I see you're already makin' friends. That's good." He slowly walked over to one of the benches and sat down. He put the bag he was carrying on the ground, and fell asleep almost instantly.
"That was Nick. Me and him came down here from the desert." Harley explained. "Anyway, what were you doin' hidin' behind a comic book like that?"
