• Started in Vermillion City
• Heard about something in Viridian City

SPOILER: Click to show

16:22 AnnaRef Vermillion City was bustling with people that day, children running and playing tag with each other while parents worriedly looked on from the sidelines. The water surrounding the city gently waved from side to side, looking calm enough to swim in. ...
16:22 AnnaRef The sky was completely clear with little to no clouds at all, a small breeze just barely brushed against the skin. A couple of girls walked by, gossiping to each other.
16:28 Eska While it was a decidedly comfortable day, Eska was still wrapped up in a winter coat. She tended to get cold very easily, regardless of the weather, and the furry wrapping helped her feel normal. Still, she couldn't help but notice that a few people glanced at her for a little longer than normal. Her intimidating appearance seemed to add to this as she gla
16:28 Eska these spectators down. Her Pumpkaboo was by her side, but Eska seemed to be ignoring it for the most part. Eska had never been chatty, but she was travelling with another girl named Dash, and she at least attempted to maintain conversation with her. Eska was mostly content with staying in the background, she would let Dash lead the way here.
16:29 Eska (( Abby* ))
16:31 AnnaRef Passerbys did indeed give her strange looks, being that most of them were wearing shorts or sweats and tanktops, if not for the occasional sweatshirt. A small boy around the age of 3 stopped to pet the Pumpkaboo
16:32 Abby` On the other hand, near the port, a lone girl stood with her arms crossed over her chest. Her hair is red as ruby, and her eyes are green as emeralds; her untamed hair fits the boyish expression plastered on her face, and the scarf she wears around her neck matches the color of her locks. She wears a sleeveless black top that hugs around her twelve year old body, with a white
16:32 Abby` Pokeball design on the chest area. The top is tucked underneath her shorts and belt, the former colored red and white while the belt itself is yellow, similar to the color of the big backpack she carries around. Fingerless gloves keep her hands warm while tapes could be seen underneath it, stretching as far as her forearms. Her knees, on the other hand, have rubber pads around them
16:32 Abby` for some reason. "So this is Vermillion City, huh?" she says with a tone of confidence as Eska - her apparent 'companion' - catches up to her from behind. Then she smiles to herself..... before suddenly turning blue and falling to her knees, obviously trying to hold herself from throwing up. "The ship...*ULP*... moved too... much..." And the Tepig moves to rub on the girl's side
16:32 Abby` for attempted comfort.
16:37 Eska A lot of stuff seemed to be happening at once. First, a boy went up to Eska's Pumpkaboo and began petting it. Pumpkaboo seemed to be quite pleased with this, but Eska's eyes narrowed intensely. Before she could tell the boy to go away, Abby fell to her knees, apparently sick. "At least we're off of it now..." Eska said under her breath.
16:38 AnnaRef The boy giggled and waddled away to go join back up with his friends, who were fidgeting impatiently a few feet away.
16:41 Abby` "I, It's okay..." says Abby, forcing herself to put up a strong front. "This is... nothing I can't handle...." She slowly pushes herself back up to her feet before looking at her surroundings, then back to Eska. Abby, by the way, is 4'5" - pretty short even for a girl her age. "You know, I don't think I ever got your name..." In fact, she doesn't remember talking to this girl
16:41 Abby` much - things just happened and apparently they decided to be together for the whole cruise.
16:44 Eska Eska realized that she hadn't ever become Abby's "friend". Eska had merely decided that this Abby girl wasn't as boring as the rest of the passengers. She seemed to be made of tougher stuff. So while Eska had decided in her mind that this Abby was alright, Abby was still out of the loop. "Oh. I'm Eska, sorry." Eska was at least a head tall than Abby,
16:45 Eska but Eska wouldn't have guessed that Abby was only 12. She must not have been very good at guessing ages.
16:49 AnnaRef As silence falls between the two girls with a height difference, the toddlers from before run by again, this time playing what looked to be a version of "Wounded Duck". A couple more gossiping girls walked by, talking about something happening in another town...
16:51 Eska As might have been determined by Abby already, Eska was a bit of an eavesdropper and a people watcher. So, while the gossiping girls walked by, Eska tried very hard to listen to what they were chatting about.
16:51 Abby` "Well, you can call me 'Abby'!" says the crimson-haired lass, thumping her chest lightly with her fist. "I don't know if I've told you yet, but I'm aiming to become the 'strongest POkemon Trainer' there is! Not 'best'... Not 'skilled'... 'Strongest'!" She says this with a confident grin... before her expression dulls as she looks down at her Pokemon. "... but I'm not exactly sure
16:51 Abby` why this one's hanging around with me." "T-Tepig....!" The Pokemon looks surprised by that. "But it doesn't matter! I'm gonna train 'em and make him tougher than ever before!" Then,upon seeing the little kids approaching them, Abby quickly shake her fists in teh air. "Scram, you brats! I was saying something cool!"
16:54 AnnaRef The little kids give out shrilly screams and turn around to run the other way to get away from the mean girl!
16:54 Eska Eska lightly smiled as Abby talked about her dreams and goals. It seemed like a long shot for this girl and her Tepig to become the strongest pokemon team in the world, but the confidence was infectious. Abby even yelled at the annoying kids to go away, which was a huge plus in Eska's book. "I'm just trying to assemble a team of powerful pokemon to create
16:54 Eska a new world order," Eska dryly joked.
16:55 AnnaRef : "...oh yeah, the people there are really getting riled up about something... I heard a lot of different reasons why though, I'm not really sure what to believe! There was one about the water well..."
16:56 AnnaRef The other girl's face was covered by a mysterious hood. "I heard that it was about that scary group of trainers harassing people in Viridian... No one will do anything about it!"
16:57 Abby` "Ha....? 'New World Order'...? What's that...?" Seems like the attempted joke is lost on this girl. She turns her attention away from the kids and look back to Eska, only to have her attention stripped away again by the gossiping girls nearby. "Huh? Water well? Riled up...?" She raises her eyebrow. "Oy!" She calls out to the two strangers. "What are you two talking about? Is
16:57 Abby` something happening?"
16:57 Eska Eska hadn't had the guts to ask more about what the two girls were gossiping about, but Abby seemed to have no qualms. She was glad her curiosity would hopefully be satisfied now.
16:58 AnnaRef : !! The girl looks frightened and almost runs away. "N-nothing! My neighbor just told me about the people down in Viridian are getting angry about something..." she trailed off, not seeming to want to talk any more.
17:00 Abby` "'Viridian'...? Hey, sounds like it's something worth checking out! I -was- going to try and visit the Gym in Saffron though..." Then she looks to Eska. "... by the way, where's 'Viridian'...? Is it nearby?" On top of that, this girl doesn't even seem to know her way around here!
17:02 AnnaRef The girl speaks up again. "Viridian City is a ways away from here... I think you can take a shortcut through a cave... I-I could be wrong though! It's best n-not to take my advice..."
17:02 Eska "So where's the cave?" Eska asked dogmatically.
17:04 Abby` "No cave will stop me...!" the young girl exclaims.
17:04 AnnaRef "I saw one just outside here, route 11..."
17:04 Abby` "Route 11, got it...!" Abby nods enthusiasticly. ".... where's Route 11...?"
17:05 Eska Eska smirked again. The questions continued to get more and more silly.
17:06 AnnaRef The girls were already gone, speeding off while the first girl had started to cry. She didn't seem like much of a people person.
17:07 Abby` "... what's her problem?" ABby asks, raising an eyebrow while thumbing to the retreating girls' direction.
17:08 Eska Eska creepily and mysteriously disappeared. Apparently, she had some important business in Vermillion, and hadn't felt the need to tell Abby goodbye.

• Found a backpack full of items!
• Defeated and caught a Ratatta!

SPOILER: Click to show

22:17 AnnaRef The last time we were in Vermillion City, Eska mysteriously disappeared. Abby went on to suddenly remember that she was hungry and ram a vending machine for food, which turned out to be successful when no one noticed- or seemed to care, for that matter.
22:19 Eska Eska's mysterious disappearance had been due to what the gossiping girls had told Abby and her. She'd left immediately to find Route 11. Eska didn'
22:19 Eska t have a firm grasp of what was considered rude and had left without a second thought.
22:20 Eska She'd eventually found a sign that lead to said route, and only then did she wonder if she should go back and tell Abby.
22:23 Abby`Triumph "Alright!" says Abby as she and her Tepig stand in front of the entrance to the cave. "Are you ready for this, Tepig?" "Tepig..." The Pokemon lowers its head. "There's nothing to be scared about! Come on, follow my lead." And she casually walks into the cave, though Eska would probably be able to spot her in time on her own way there.
22:23 Eska To Eska's surprise, she could actually see the girl up ahead. Her normally glaring eyes opened as she realized this girl was rather resourceful on her own. "Hey! Wait up!" she uncharacteristically shouted. Eska ran in her heavy winter clothes to catch up.
22:25 Abby`Triumph The girl halts as she hears the voice and turns around, only to see that it's actually Eska approaching them. "Wha...? You're still here?" She blinks. "I thought you left for Viridian before we did."
22:25 AnnaRef It seems that the girls already ran right through route 11 to get to Diglett's Cave. Route 11 was blazing with wind, which oddly enough, was only a light breeze in Vermillion. It didn't seem like any pokemon were in sight since the girls were running so frickin' fast.
22:27 Eska Eska finally approached Abby. She wasn't much of an exerciser, so she was surely out of breath when she got there. She had her hands on her knees as she tried to get her breathing back to normal. She decided not to respond to Abby's final comment, it was sort of embarrassing.
22:30 Abby`Triumph The tails of Abby's scarf flails along with the wind, but it seems it's fashioned that it won't be removed from her too easily. Unlike Eska though, the girl doesn't seem to be any tired at all - though one could see some bruises on her elbow, possibly received from slamming herself against the vending machine twice earlier. "You alright? Come on, if we're gonna head to Viridian together,
22:30 Abby`Triumph we need to pass through this cave!" She points at the entrance again.
22:35 Eska Eska finally caught her breath and mustered an, "Ok." She went back to her usual bad posture and readied herself to follow Abby inside.
22:37 Abby`Triumph And Abby circles her foot around and continues on her way into the cave.
22:38 AnnaRef You continue to Diglett's Cave....
22:56 Eska BUT ESKA WASN'T ACTUALLY READY TO VENTURE INSIDE THE CAVE. (( Dun dun dun ))
22:56 Eska She realized they'd rushed passed an entire route full of adventure, and she decided Abby wouldn't mind if Eska fell just a little bit behind.
22:56 Eska She turned around to see what this area had to offer.
22:58 AnnaRef The sky was beginning to disappear with the oncoming clouds, making it look as if it were going to start raining soon. The winds were beginning to get harsh. Pokemon were already retreating, save for a Sandshrew, and a Rattata. A backpack full of things lay on the ground mere feet away from Eska.
23:00 Eska Curiously, a backpack had been left behind. It looked the weather could only get worse, and Eska wondered who'd decided to leave their backpack out in the open like this. She looked to her left and to her right. It seemed no one was around. Quickly, while she was sure no one was looking, Eska looked inside the bag just to satiate her curiosity.
23:02 AnnaRef There looked to be around two potions, a super potion, a revive, a couple of rare candies stashed away in a pocket, a normal pokeball, and a great ball containing a pokemon.
23:02 AnnaRef No one else seemed to even be on this route.
23:03 Eska Eska furrowed her eyebrows. She wasn't sure if she would feel bad about stealing this stuff. For now, she decided she'd just put it on her own back, and if the owner spotted her, she'd pretend she'd been looking for the owner all along.
23:05 AnnaRef The sky was completely consumed by dark clouds, and it looks like the Sandshrew had retreated under a tree, leaving only the Rattata, which was scurrying around frantically.
23:07 Eska Eska realized that one of the pokeballs in the bag had a pokemon in it. That, officially didn't sit well with her. She knew stealing a pokemon was way over the line. She watched a Rattata running around. It was rather annoying. Eska sent out the Pokemon that was in the backpack, just to see what she was potentially robbing and maybe take care of that
23:07 Eska nuisance.
23:07 Eska If it was some useless pokemon, maybe she could get over her conscience.
23:09 AnnaRef The pokemon was a female magikarp. It flopped around helplessly on the ground, mumbling its name.
23:10 Eska Eska sighed in relief. It was worthless. She put it back in the ball. "Ok Pumpkaboo." she said simply. Her Pumpkaboo came out its ball and stared down the Rattata. Unfortunately, Eska had yet to realize...that this Rattata was the normal type! "Astonish it." she commanded. Pumpkaboo went for the attack...
23:13 AnnaRef [Pumpkaboo][F][20/20HP] { VS } [Ratatta][F][20/20HP]
23:14 AnnaRef (( hold on a moment ))
23:14 AnnaRef (( all right ))
23:14 AnnaRef Pumpkaboo uses Astonish!
23:14 AnnaRef It rushes...
23:14 AnnaRef ...
23:14 AnnaRef *Hits*
23:15 AnnaRef [Pumpkaboo][F] 20/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 20/20HP
23:15 AnnaRef Ratatta is immune!
23:18 Eska ((Do I go now? ))
23:18 AnnaRef (( this is a real time battle, you just say your moves whenever you can- but make sure to wait for the referee to post the new statuses! ))
23:18 AnnaRef (( so yes, you can go ))
23:20 Eska Eska blinked as she realized her mistake. She wouldn't admit it in front of Pumpkaboo however. "Confuse it!" she shouted, intending for Pumpkaboo to use Confuse Ray. Pumpkaboo created a dazzling ray of light that flew through the air.
23:22 AnnaRef Pumpkaboo's Confuse Ray is used!
23:22 AnnaRef Ratatta becomes confused!
23:22 AnnaRef Ratatta uses Bite!
23:22 AnnaRef It rushes...
23:22 AnnaRef ...
23:22 AnnaRef *hits*
23:23 AnnaRef [Pumpkaboo][F] 8/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 20/20HP (confusion)
23:23 Eska ((( Uh ohhhhh )))))
23:23 AnnaRef (( pumpkaboo weak against dark types oh noooo ))
23:24 Eska Eska's eyes grew very wide as she realized Pumpkaboo might not be ready for this. She became sort of flustered. "It's ok, just come back." she shouted. She decided the best plan was to send out that Magikarp and hope that the Ratatta did some damage to itself while the Magikarp took the hits that it did dish out. She sent out the purloined Magikarp.
23:25 AnnaRef [Magikarp][F] 20/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 20/20HP (confusion)
23:27 Eska "Just uh...attack it, I guess." Eska said weakly. She didn't know anything about the Magikarps moves.
23:27 AnnaRef The magikarp uses attack!
23:28 AnnaRef It rushes...
23:28 AnnaRef ...
23:28 AnnaRef *hits*
23:28 AnnaRef [Magikarp][F] 20/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 18/20HP (confusion)
23:28 AnnaRef The Ratatta goes in for the *Bite*!
23:28 AnnaRef It rushes...
23:28 AnnaRef ...
23:28 AnnaRef The Ratatta hurt itself in its confusion!
23:29 AnnaRef [Magikarp][F] 20/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 12/20HP (confusion)
23:29 Eska (( HELL YEAH ))
23:30 Eska Eska smirked once she realized her plan might actually work. It was almost enough to get her to laugh. She decided that since this Magikarp might not be able to take enough hits to win the battle, and that she was already using this stolen pokemon, that she might as well use one of the potions from the bag to heal Pumpkaboo. She took out one of the
23:30 Eska spray-on medicines and applied a dose to her ghostly pokemon.
23:30 AnnaRef The Magikarp decided to act on its own!
23:31 AnnaRef Magikarp used Flail!
23:31 AnnaRef The Ratatta ran towards the Magikarp to *Tackle*!
23:31 AnnaRef They rush...
23:31 AnnaRef ...
23:31 AnnaRef The attacks collide!
23:31 AnnaRef ...
23:32 AnnaRef Magikarp overcomes!
23:32 AnnaRef [Magikarp][F] 20/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 4/20HP (confusion)
23:32 AnnaRef Ratatta hurt itself in its own confusion...
23:32 AnnaRef [Magikarp][F] 20/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 2/20HP (confusion)
23:33 Eska Eska couldn't tell if she was more proud of this Magikarp she just met, or more disappointed in the Pumpkaboo that she was actually fond of. She shook her head and commanded, "Ok, uhh...use that move again. Whatever that was."
23:33 AnnaRef Magikarp uses flail!
23:33 AnnaRef It rushes...
23:33 AnnaRef ...
23:34 AnnaRef *KO*
23:34 Eska ((Magikarp OP))
23:34 AnnaRef [Magikarp][F] 20/20HP { VS } [Ratatta][F] 0/20HP (confusion)
23:34 AnnaRef (( dont underestimate da magikarp ))
23:34 AnnaRef (( also, you're still able to catch the ratatta if you had wanted to ))
23:34 AnnaRef Magikarp gains +1 EXP!
23:34 AnnaRef Pumpkaboo gains +1 EXP! It learns Scary Face!
23:35 Eska Eska shook her head again, trying to shake off how surreal this battle had been. She decided to catch the Ratatta, even if she wasn't planning on using it. She did have a pokedex after all. She used on of the stolen pokeballs, so that she didn't have to cut into her supply of fairly gotten ones.
23:36 Eska (( one* ))
23:36 AnnaRef While Eska retrieved the pokeball... She spotted 650 pokedollars in the bottom of the backpack!
23:37 Eska The backpack was the gift that kept on giving. It almost made her feel guilty. She pocketed the money, and glared side to side to make sure that she was still unwatched.
23:37 AnnaRef Eska gained +650 pokedollars!
23:37 Eska She threw the pokeball at the downed opponent.
23:38 AnnaRef No one was on the route still.
23:38 AnnaRef *Pof*
23:38 AnnaRef ...
23:38 AnnaRef ...
23:39 AnnaRef ...
23:39 AnnaRef *Click*
23:39 AnnaRef Eska caught the Ratatta!
23:40 Eska Eska couldn't help the excitement she felt when she caught the pokemon. Even if it was a Ratatta. She half grinned as she picked up the pokeball and put it away with her own stuff.
23:40 AnnaRef Ratatta | F | 0/20 HP | 4/10 EXP ( Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Focus Energy, Bite, Pursuit ) *
23:41 AnnaRef Still no people on the route...
23:41 AnnaRef ...
23:42 AnnaRef Eska gained +2 Potions, +1 Super Potion, +1 Revive, +2 Rare Candy
23:43 AnnaRef Eska also gained +1 Backpack!
23:43 Eska Eska realized that she'd been using the stolen items, so that if she was caught they wouldn't be able to take the items away from her. She decided that she might as well continue this trend, it somehow made her feel better about the situation. She told Pumpkaboo to quickly eat the two candies.
23:43 AnnaRef The Magikarp has returned itself to its ball and refuses to let this new girl become its owner...
23:44 Eska (( Punk ))
23:44 AnnaRef (( pff ))
23:44 Eska (( Not you, the magikarp. ))
23:46 AnnaRef Pumpkaboo eats the two rare candies...
23:47 AnnaRef Pumpkboo gains +4 EXP! It learns Trick-or-Treat, Worry Seed, Razor Leaf, and Leech Seed!

SPOILER: Click to show

13:58 DaiRef : Route 11 was incredibly peaceful now. There weren't any signs of people around within the location. A light wind shifted the grass nearby, making them dance gently through the breeze. A pidgey fluttered lower towards the ground, landing in the near distance of the small grassland.
14:01 Eska Eska was ready to head back to Vermillion. It had merely been a midway stop, and she was pretty sure the boat she wanted to get on would be leaving soon. She was glad that the route was rather nice right now. She noticed Pidgey, but decided to let it be. It seemed to be having a nice time.
14:02 DaiRef #KantoVermillionCity
14:04 DaiRef Vermillion City was just the way it was before Eska had left from it momentarily. There were people walking about the city within the relaxing weather. An abundance of wingull flew over the ships as they enjoyed themselves gliding through the winds. A man nearby looked rather frantic, until he spotted Eska. "Oh, thank you so much!!" He ran up to her.
14:05 Eska "Wha...what?" Eska quietly said as a man ran up to her and thanked her. She quickly looked left and right, and her entire body seemed to be pulled away from the man. She had no idea what was going on.
14:06 DaiRef : "That's my bag!" He was rather rash with his outburst and pointed to it. "You found it for me, yeah?" He bowed rather quickly, making haste to receive his possession.
14:08 Eska Eska was stunned. She'd become so accustomed to the bag that she'd forgotten she'd took it. "Oh...oh...umm...yep. Here you go." The man would likely notice that many, many items were missing as Eska had used them, and she'd already pocketed his money for herself. She took the backpack off and slowly handed it off.
14:10 DaiRef "Thank you..." He stated as grabbed the bag. With quick satisfaction he walked off with it and smiled broadly. After he had gotten a long distance away from her he had stopped. "...." He was far away, but still visible to Eska. "Why is this...light?" He slowly turned to Eska.
14:11 Eska She shrugged as much as she could so the man could see from far away. She'd be playing dumb. She made no effort to yell to the now distant man.
14:13 DaiRef He quickly unzipped his bag, finding that a few of his items were still within the bag. But the rare candies and the money were missing. "HEY YOU!" He quickly started to run towards Eska, pokeball in hand.
14:15 Eska Eska once again looked around to make sure the man wasn't talking to anyone else. "Yeah what? I got your bag back. That's how I found it." she'd become bitingly haughty at this point, and her subdued face was getting red.
14:15 DaiRef "O-oh...really...? That means someone must've stolen it then..." He slammed a fist into his hand and looked at Eska. "Where was it...?" He asked her swiftly.
14:17 Eska Eska blinked a bunch of times. She was kind of stunned at how good she was at lying. "It was in front of Diglett's Cave. I saw it before I was gonna go in and came to Vermillion to bring it to the Pokemon Center or something." she explained. She'd become demure again, and the red had gone out of her face.
14:20 DaiRef "Thanks! IM COMING FOR YOU!!!" He ran at full speed in the direction where Eska had come from. In a few moments the boy was gone in a comedic manner.
14:21 Eska Eska's face slowly lit up into a light smile. She'd sort of gotten away with it, but now her pack of stuff was gone. Along with that Magikarp she'd become pretty fond of. All well, at least she wasn't going to go to jail or anything. She made her way to the docks to find a boat a different, interesting place.
14:22 Eska ((to a*))
14:25 DaiRef Eska made her way into the harbor where there were people walking about. Most of them were commoners, however there were wealthy looking people coming off of the more luxurious boats. There were signs posted at the entrance, each with it's own region and the possible cities located beneath them.
14:26 DaiRef [ Kanto ] [ Johto ] [ Hoenn ] [ Sinnoh ] [ Unova ] [ Kalos ] [ Sevii Islands ] [ Fiorre ] [ Almia ] [ Oblivia ] [ Orre ] [ Poketopia ] [ Orange Islands ] [ Pokemon Island ]
14:27 Eska Eska approached the signs. She hadn't decided what place was right for her yet. The places that peaked her interested the most were the Hoenn region and the Kalos region. She decided to use the ever faithful method of eeny-meeny-miney-mo to choose. After pointing back and forth between the signs for a while she ended up choosing...Hoenn! She looked >
14:27 Eska around for a place to buy a ticket.
14:28 DaiRef There was a booth nearby, the line was nearly cleared. "Hello?" The man behind the desk smiled and looked at her. "How many people and which region would you like to sail to?" He asked.
14:30 Eska "Hey. Just me to Hoenn." she responded.
14:31 DaiRef "Alright...which city?" He asked curiously. A map was pushed towards her direction with pictures of the sail routes. The available locations were Rustboro, Slateport, Mossdeep, Lilycove, Pacifilog, Sootopolis, Ever Grande, Battle Frontier.
14:33 Eska Eska picked the first city she saw since none of the names rang a bell anyway. "Rustboro's fine," she said.
14:34 DaiRef "Sure...that'll be 400 for a normal ticket. However, the luxury cruise will cost 1,000 if you so choose to go on that one." He stated with a smile. "I will say most of the routes to Hoenn routes are actually closed due to some unusual storms happening..." He explained.
14:36 Eska At the mention of unusual storms, Eska looked up. That sounded interesting. "It's fine, I have to go there anyway." she said. "A normal ticket will be good."
14:36 DaiRef "Alright..." He asked, ready to hand her the ticket in exchange for the required amount.
14:37 Eska Eska handed over the dough.
14:38 DaiRef "Alright...here you go!" He stated handing her the "Hoenn-Rustboro Pass".
14:39 Eska Eska looked at her ticket, and then at the man. "Uhh..." she didn't want to admit she had no idea where to go. "W...where's the..."
DaiRef "That way...!" He pointed over towards a ship nearby. It was blue in color and had a gyarados logo on it. In cursive the name of the boat labeled 'Rage Express'.
14:43 Eska Eska made her way to the ship that would let her start anew. It reminded her of the the Magikarp that had been ripped from her heart. She frowned. She held the ticket high in the air as she walked toward the ship.
14:44 DaiRef She walked up towards the ship and the man nodded. "You're good to go mam..." He stepped out of the way allowing her to pass.
14:45 Eska Eska trounced onto the ship. This was surprisingly exciting!
14:46 DaiRef #OceanGyaradosExpress
14:50 Eska Eska looked around and saw many happy people. She felt a bit strange in her huge coat, but she made her way over to the pool area anyway. Maybe they'd have on of those weird chairs to lay on.
14:50 Eska ((one* ))
14:53 DaiRef Soon enough a boy had walked right in front of Eska. He smiled and looked into her eyes. "Hello there miss... you look a little warm."
14:55 Eska "Yeah well you look a little..." she couldn't think of a snappy comeback in time. "Yeah," she said in defeat. "Did you come over here to make me aware of my coat?"
14:57 DaiRef "No... I'm actually looking for a battle. I want to see if anyone is worthy enough to be my opponent on this lovely cruise." He stated. "You look like warm up material to me... which is why I said... you're a /little warm./" He smirked as the boat began to move. "Enjoy the ride everyone!" The sailor said through the intercom.
15:00 DaiRef *BOF*
15:00 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 20/20 HP
15:01 DaiRef He smirked and flipped his jacket open. *Basic Badge* *Boulder Badge* *Cascade Badge* *Soul Badge* *Fog Badge* *Hive Badge* *Balance Badge* *Beacon Badge* *Bolt Badge* *Toxic Badge*
15:01 DaiRef He smirked. "Are you sure about that...?" He grabbed a pokeball from his back pocket. "Are you ready?"
15:02 Eska "Yeah well I have every badge. From everywhere. I don't have any on me because they're heavy." she defiantly shouted. "Come on chump!" She wasn't about to be intimidated by some shiny metal.
15:03 DaiRef He sighed. "I'm just going to use one pokemon for this battle... I'm probably going to win anyways..." He stated throwing his pokeball to the ground.
15:03 DaiRef *BOF*
15:04 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 20/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 55/55 HP
15:05 Eska ((omg, I'm going to lose to spinda))
15:05 Eska Eska took initiative and commanded, "Pumpkaboo, use leech seed!"
15:05 DaiRef "Struggle!"
15:05 DaiRef It...
15:06 DaiRef struggled the seeds off of it!!
15:06 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 20/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 54/55 HP
15:06 DaiRef "That won't work!!" He smirked clenching his fist.
15:06 DaiRef "My turn..."
15:06 DaiRef "Faint Attack!"
15:06 DaiRef It rushes...
15:06 Eska "Dodge that!"
15:06 DaiRef it...
15:07 DaiRef Spinda faded into the air before popping up behind it!
15:07 DaiRef *BAM*
15:07 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 8/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 54/55 HP
15:07 DaiRef "Faint attack never misses..." He smirked.
15:07 Eska "Uhh.
15:07 Eska "
15:07 Eska "Uhm."
15:07 Eska "Try leech seed again?"
15:07 DaiRef "Struggle it off..."
15:07 DaiRef it...
15:08 DaiRef struggled the seeds off yet a second time, dizzily moving out of the way!
15:08 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 8/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 53/55 HP
15:08 DaiRef "Is that it?" He smirked.
15:08 Eska "No."
15:08 Eska "It's not." Eska said angrily.
15:09 Eska ((Do I wait for you to go first?))
15:09 DaiRef "Well then...I guess we'll see..." He said, exposing her anger.
15:09 DaiRef (( you never have to wait ))
15:09 DaiRef (( you can call an attack whenever you want ))
15:09 Eska ((kk))
15:09 Eska "Try using confuse ray!" she shouted at Pumpkaboo.
15:09 DaiRef Confuse ray is used...
15:09 DaiRef *BOF*
15:09 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 8/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 53/55 HP [ CON - 5 ]
15:09 DaiRef "W-what!?"
15:09 DaiRef He glared at the girl.
15:10 DaiRef "Sucker punch!!"
15:10 DaiRef it...
15:10 Eska "Ok! Now you can leech seed it for sure!"
15:10 DaiRef *SMACK*
15:10 DaiRef leech seed was used...
15:10 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 8/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 51/55 HP [ CON - 4 ] { LS }
15:10 DaiRef He smirked. "Heh, this is getting a little more interesting..."
15:10 DaiRef "But I'll have to end it here..."
15:10 DaiRef "Faint attack!"
15:11 DaiRef It...
15:11 DaiRef rushes...
15:11 Eska "Try struggling!"
15:11 DaiRef It...
15:11 DaiRef struggled off the Spinda's move!!
15:11 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 9/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 49/55 HP [ CON - 3 ] { LS }
15:11 Eska "Great job, we'll use his own strategies against him! Razor leaf it quickly!"
15:11 DaiRef "Tch...defend!"
15:11 DaiRef It rushes...
15:11 DaiRef The leaves hit the spinda!
15:12 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 9/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 46/55 HP [ CON - 3 ] { LS }
15:12 DaiRef "Use faint attack once more!"
15:12 DaiRef It...
15:12 DaiRef hurt itself!
15:12 Eska "Hit it with some more razor leaf!"

15:13 DaiRef struggled it off!!
15:13 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 12/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 40/55 HP [ CON - 1 ] { LS }
15:13 DaiRef "Not bad..." He stated quietly. An annoyed look was written on his face.
15:13 Eska "Razor leaf again. We'll hit him good eventually..."
15:14 DaiRef It charges...
15:14 DaiRef "Slide!"
15:14 DaiRef it..
15:14 Eska Eska was too into the battle for banter.
15:14 DaiRef quickly stepped around, the leaves, but the barrage just kept coming *BAM*
15:14 DaiRef It was a direct hit!
15:14 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 12/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 28/55 HP [ CON - 1 ] { LS }
15:14 DaiRef "Faint attack now!!"
15:14 DaiRef it..
15:14 Eska Eska pumped her fist from the small victory
15:14 DaiRef *smack*
15:15 Eska "Oh."
15:15 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 14/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 24/55 HP { LS }
15:15 DaiRef "Heh...two can play at that game...teeter dance!"
15:15 DaiRef Teeter dance is used..
15:15 DaiRef *hits*
15:15 DaiRef ( actually it missed my bad )
15:15 Eska "Confuse ray before it can try that again!"
15:16 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 16/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 22/55 HP { LS }
15:16 DaiRef "Struggle!"

15:16 Eska ((woo))
15:17 DaiRef it struggled it off!!
15:17 DaiRef "Pumpkaboo: 17/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 20/55 HP { LS }

15:18 DaiRef "One more hit... faint attack!"
15:18 DaiRef It rushes...
15:18 Eska Eska sighed after losing the battle of struggles. She'd come back though.
15:18 Eska "struggle!:
15:18 DaiRef it...
15:18 Eska (())
15:18 Eska (("Struggle!"* ))
15:18 DaiRef Pumpkaboo quickly struggled the spinda off...but...after a split second the spinda faded away and it appeared behind it, hitting it with dark power! Pumpkaboo slammed into the ground.
15:18 DaiRef *KO*
15:19 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 0/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 17/55 HP { LS }
15:19 Eska "Uuuuugghhhh!" Eska shouted. She recalled Pumpkaboo. She had one more pokemon, but would it be fair to use her two to fight this one Spinda? Eh, she didn't care at this point. She sent out her freshly caught Rattata.
15:20 Eska ((Ratatta*))
15:20 DaiRef *BOF*
15:20 DaiRef Rattata: 20/20 HP [ VS ] Spinda: 17/55 HP { LS }
15:20 DaiRef "Oh...a rattata? We'll destroy that little thing." He stated, now laughing a little out loud. "Heheheh....let's eat it alive Spinda."
15:20 Eska "Use Focus Energy!"
15:20 DaiRef Focus energy was used...
15:21 DaiRef Rattata: 20/20 HP [ FE* ] [ VS ] Spinda: 17/55 HP { LS }
15:21 Eska "Now bite it with every tooth!"
15:21 DaiRef "Spinda...dizzy punch!"
15:21 DaiRef They rush...
15:21 DaiRef the attacks collided!!
15:21 DaiRef ...
15:21 DaiRef *BAM*
15:21 DaiRef Rattata flew back into the ground!!
15:21 Eska ((;-; ))
15:22 DaiRef Rattata: 7/20 HP [ FE ] { CON - 5 } [ VS ] Spinda: 15/55 HP { LS }
15:22 DaiRef "Any last words?" He asked her.
15:22 Eska "Come on Ratatta, you can come back from that! Use quick attack!"
15:22 DaiRef It...
15:22 DaiRef rushes...
15:22 DaiRef *Smack*
15:22 Eska She stuck her tongue out at the boy.
15:22 DaiRef Rattata: 7/20 HP [ FE* ] { CON - 4 } [ VS ] Spinda: 11/55 HP { LS }
15:22 DaiRef "Tackle!!"
15:22 DaiRef It rushes...
15:22 Eska "Dodge!"
15:22 DaiRef It...
15:23 DaiRef was still hit!! *BAM* The rattata weakly laid on the ground before struggling to get on it's feet.
15:23 DaiRef Rattata: 3/20 HP [ FE* ] { CON - 4 } [ VS ] Spinda: 9/55 HP { LS }
15:23 Eska "Come on, one last bite!"
15:23 DaiRef It...
15:23 DaiRef Ran into a chair!!
15:23 DaiRef *Smack*
15:24 DaiRef Rattata: 1/20 HP [ FE ] { CON - 3 } [ VS ] Spinda: 9/55 HP { LS }
15:24 DaiRef "Typical..." He chuckled a little bit. "You're never going to win in that position."
15:24 Eska "Try again!" Eska pleaded.
15:24 DaiRef It...
15:24 DaiRef rushes...
15:24 DaiRef "Tackle!"
15:24 DaiRef It rushes...
15:24 DaiRef the attacks collided!!
15:24 DaiRef ...
15:24 DaiRef *CHOMP*
15:24 DaiRef "What!?"
15:25 DaiRef *KO*
15:25 DaiRef Rattata: 1/20 HP [ FE* ] { CON - 3 } [ VS ] Spinda: 0/55 HP
15:25 DaiRef ( +1 exp for rattata! )
15:25 Eska Eska audibly gasped! She had no chance of winning, but Rattata had done it!
15:25 Eska She picked her up and yelled, "We won!"
15:26 DaiRef Rattata learned Hyper Fang!!
15:27 Eska Eska put Rattata in her pokeball to rest. She seemed very very tired.
15:27 DaiRef The boy glared at the at the girl and smirked. "Heh, luck." He stated. He slammed 900 of his money on a table. "I could just send out the rest of my team and pound you in." He crossed his arms.
15:28 Eska She took the money and said, "Well uhh...whatever."
15:29 Eska "Is there a Pokecenter on board?" she asked the arrogant boy.
15:29 DaiRef "I believe all of the rooms on deck have a healing table." He stated before walking away from her. "Later loser..."
15:30 Eska "Well uhh...you're lame!" she yelled back. She'd been being surprisingly audible since the battle started, and she still felt pretty good from the fight. She made her way to the room on her ticket.
15:31 DaiRef #OceanGyaradosExpressA3
15:33 DaiRef Eska walked into her cabin. There was a bed, a window to gaze out towards the ocean, a table on the opposite side of the bed, and like the boy had mentioned...a healing table! The room was a lot more relaxing than outside of it.
15:50 Eska Eska decided to leave the room and tell someone. She rubbed the spot where the Munchlax had hit her and promised to get revenge.

[大輔ーRPG]

SPOILER: Click to show

22:02 DaiRef Soon enough Eska had left the room. There were many people walking around. Different heights, genders, roles, outfits, there were just so many people outside. They all seemed to either be extremely busy or relaxing in the sun. However, it was quite easy to distinguish who was in their sailor uniforms.
22:03 Eska "Hey! Did anyone let a Munchlax loose in my room!" Eska yelled at anyone in range. She figured someone hadn't been paying much attention to their pokemon.
22:07 DaiRef : After searching for awhile, there was someone on the very edge of the deck nearby. He was eating a couple of rice cakes with a munchlax helping himself with him. He had a smile on his face as he looked out towards the ocean.
22:08 Eska "Hey! Is that your Munchlax?" Eska's fists were clenched, and her eyes looked primal.
22:10 DaiRef He looked back at her with a lazy smile. His eyes gleamed happily into hers. "Yeah." He nodded a bit, his hat nearly falling off. "Are you a pokemon trainer too?"
22:11 Eska She ignored his question and pointed at the Munchlax. "Your pokemon attacked me."
22:13 DaiRef "Huh? Lax?" He looked at his munchlax curiously, with it staring back at him. "Why would he attack you?" He asked her curiously. "He's never attacked anyone before..." He frowned, now feeling guilty of a wrongful justice.
22:14 Eska "I caught him stealing food, and the little..." Eska was annoyed, because this guy didn't seem evil or anything, but she had to take her frustration out somehow.
22:15 Eska She held up a pokeball and said, "Yeah I'm a trainer, and I want to show your Munchlax that you don't mess with me."
22:17 DaiRef "Oh?" He looked at her with a rather awkward look. "Well... I don't battle a lot... I'm a comedian most of the time." He chuckled a bit before eyeing her intense grip of her pokeball.
22:17 Eska "You don't seem all that funny."
22:20 DaiRef He looked at her quietly. "Well, um... I do manzai jokes... you know...with a partner." He said with a lazy smile on his face. "But he's not here..." He chuckled.
22:22 Eska Eska didn't know much about comedy. She was about to ask what manzai jokes were, but then she remembered she was angry. But...she also felt awkward. This guy was too nice, it was the munchlax she was mad at. "So you don't battle...at all?"
22:23 DaiRef "But if it's a battle you want... I'm from the Sinnoh region you know, we're....tough as overly-cooked poffin." He grinned a little bit. His voice was soothing indeed, as if he were putting a baby to sleep.
22:24 Eska Eska gave a slight smile. Now she could serve this dude's pokemon right. She sent out her Ratatta.
22:24 DaiRef *BOF*
22:24 DaiRef Rattata: 20/20 HP
22:27 DaiRef He looked at the rattata and then back at the girl. "Well...how many pokemon for this fight? You want to fight my munchlax or my entire team? Or...?"
22:28 Eska She figured since she had two pokemon, it might as well be even. "We'll do 2 on 2."
22:28 DaiRef "Ok...munchlax..." He smirked and let it fall off of his shoulder. It landed with a small yawn and scratched it's belly lazily.
22:29 DaiRef Rattata: 20/20 HP { VS } Munchlax: 50/50 HP
22:29 Eska "Ok Rattata! Hyper Fang it!"
22:29 DaiRef It rushes...
22:29 DaiRef "Body slam!"
22:29 DaiRef It rushes...
22:29 DaiRef the attacks collided!
22:31 DaiRef *BAM* Munchlax overcomes with a full fledged tackle! Rattata fell back incredibly hurt!
22:31 Eska "Oh no!"
22:31 DaiRef ( do you want me to display damage? Like -# )
22:31 DaiRef ( or +# )
22:31 Eska (-#)
22:32 DaiRef -18
22:32 DaiRef Rattata: 2/20 HP { VS } Munchlax: 50/50 HP
22:32 DaiRef "Now...finish it! Attack Munchlax!"
22:32 DaiRef It rushes...
22:32 Eska "I-it's ok. Use Focus Energy then Bite!"
22:32 Eska "Side step!"
22:32 DaiRef it...
22:32 DaiRef failed to sidestep!!
22:32 DaiRef *BAM*
22:32 DaiRef KO
22:32 DaiRef Rattata: 0/20 HP { VS } Munchlax: 50/50 HP
22:33 Eska Eska put Rattata back in her ball. She felt bad, but she sent out Pumpkaboo without a word.
22:34 Eska "Ok Pumpkaboo! Hit it with Leech Seed!"
22:34 DaiRef *BOF*
22:34 DaiRef Leech seed is used...
22:34 DaiRef "Struggle!"
22:34 DaiRef it...
22:34 DaiRef struggled the leech seed off!
22:34 Eska "Razor Leaf it!"
22:35 DaiRef It charges...
22:35 DaiRef "Ice beam!"
22:35 DaiRef It charges...
22:35 DaiRef the attacks collided!!
22:35 DaiRef razor leaf overcomes!!
22:35 DaiRef *crit*
22:35 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 20/20 HP { VS } Munchlax: 25/50 HP
22:36 DaiRef "Ice beam again!" He smiled.
22:36 DaiRef It charges...
22:36 Eska "Follow up with leech seed!"
22:36 DaiRef *hits*
22:36 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 2/20 HP [ Frozen ] { VS } Munchlax: 25/50 HP { LS }
22:36 DaiRef "Now...lick!"
22:36 DaiRef It rushes...
22:36 Eska "Oh noooo."
22:36 DaiRef *SLIRP*
22:36 DaiRef KO
22:36 DaiRef Pumpkaboo: 0/20 HP { VS } Munchlax: 25/50 HP
22:37 Eska Eska put Pumpkaboo back in the ball. She glared at the ground, still mad at the Munchlax.
22:38 DaiRef "Hey..." He smiled quietly. "Do you want a donut?" He asked the girl, attempting to make it up for her...whatever happened. He sat down on the wooden deck and waited to see if she sat down with him.
22:39 Eska Eska looked around. "What donuts?"
22:42 DaiRef He pulled out a small donut from his backpack. It looked delicious, even without any frosting embellishment on it. There was a little bit of sugared powder on it however.
22:43 Eska Eska did enjoy eating when she was sad. She tentatively held out her hand, grabbed the dounut, and sat down. "How did you get so good at battling? I thought you were a comedian!"
22:45 DaiRef He smiled a little bit and looked at her. "Well you see... I had an adventure I went on a long time ago with some friends. And it was one of the most challenging things I had ever faced." He stated quietly. His soothing voice lifted towards her. He had also pulled a donut out of his backpack, and started munching on it.
22:46 Eska Eska took a bite of the powdered dessert. It was decidedly yummy, and she had to stop herself from eating it all in one bite. "Everyone on this boat is so tough...I only won the last battle I was in by sheer luck."
22:48 DaiRef "Well... he stated quietly. I can tell you a secret...." He said with a nod. He placed a large heavy hand on her shoulder, staring into her eyes. His smile was still there. His eyes appeared like slits, seeing that his smile made his eyes a little more tightly fit on his face.
22:49 Eska She didn't usually like being touched, but the guy seemed to have a gentle enough nature. He likely meant no harm. She didn't look him directly in his...eyes...but she said, "What is it?"
22:51 DaiRef "Well... you see... you have to lose first!" He stated with a gleam. He laughed a little bit and poked her in her forehead. "And also, what was the last thing you actually did with your pokemon?" He asked her. "What quality time do you actually spend with your pokemon?"
22:52 Eska Eska went cross eyed when the man poked her, and blinked a bunch to adjust. She never liked to lose, and she wasn't a very affectionate person, so she mumbled, "I don't know..." in response to everything he'd said.
22:54 DaiRef "You see, the more you lose...the more you realize how much stronger your pokemon are getting...not necessarily in strength, but in love." He gently continued his smile, but this one was more sincere and affectionate. "You see, I had never been good at battling, until the very end of my journey with my friends. In fact I had to trade around with them a bit."
22:54 DaiRef "But in the long run, they grew more than I could ever imagine because our bonds grew. It was like a rapid transformation in the end. It's not about the beginning...it's about the..."
22:54 DaiRef ... /finish/ .
22:55 Eska "So you're saying all of that getting revenge on your enemies and becoming the conqueror of the known world stuff comes later."
22:59 DaiRef He looked at her, his smile was wiped off. "If you put it that way no... it was just fun seeing them grow more so than it was in the end. All that really matters is just being one with your pokemon." He chuckled at her strangely. "Anyways, enough of that, I'm going to go sleep in the cabin." He got up and stretched a little.
23:00 Eska "I should probably heal my pokemon anyway..." she said under breath. She got up and walked to her cabin.
23:01 DaiRef #OceanGyaradosExpressA3
23:02 DaiRef She walked inside of the cabin, it was the same way she had left it. It was empty, cool, and quiet. Bed, desk, small window, television, everything.
23:02 Eska Eska set he pokemon on the healing pad. "Quality time...huh..." She wondered if she should just...hang out with her pokemon more.
23:03 DaiRef After a few moments...
23:03 DaiRef her pokemon were healed!
23:04 Eska After Eska's pokemon were healed, she released both of them. "Hey guys...wanna...uhhh..." she didn't know how to complete the thought. Maybe she could go to one of the activities that were taking place on the ship.
23:06 Eska (What are some activities taking place on the ship? )
23:06 DaiRef ( do you want me to be the pokemon? )
23:06 Eska "Let's go back out and see what's going on."
23:06 Eska She exited her room.
23:11 Eska Eska looked around to see if anything interesting was going on that she could do with her pokemon.
23:11 DaiRef As she exited the room, there were a few activities happening nearby. On the main deck there were people swimming in a built in swimming pool. There were also places to rest and obtain free food! Just on the other side of the deck was an old couple playing chess.
23:12 Eska Eska was worried that Rattata might not be the best swimmer, even though she'd never seen her in water. She wasn't sure how much her pokemon would be able to participate in chess. But food sounded good. She'd only eaten one donut all day after all. She walked with her two pokemon over to the grub. She awkwardly picked up her Rattata along the way and set
23:12 Eska her down on her shoulder.
23:13 DaiRef ( Do you want to be the pokemon as well? )
23:14 Eska (I'm not sure. Is there a usual procedure?)
23:16 DaiRef ( not really, usually you control the pokemon's emotions and actions RPly since you own them xD )
23:17 Eska (Ok, I'll do that)
23:17 Eska Rattata seemed pleased to rest its little legs. Pumpkaboo floated along just as content.
23:20 DaiRef As she walked over towards the tables, there was a young lady nearby. "Hello, would you like to be served our all you can eat diner?" She asked her. "Aw, such a cutie..." She smiled and scratched the rattata around the ears, to see if it would curl it's head like most pokemon would do in reaction.
23:20 DaiRef ( i dunno why but I kind of imagined the rattata cutely closing it's eyes ;-; )
23:22 Eska Rattata, almost like in a surreal dream, closed it's eyes in the cutest way in response. An aura of pink flowers dreamily appeared. Either that or everyone on the boat was hallucinating. "Yes please." Eska said in response. Pumpkaboo hopped onto a seat next to Eska.
23:24 DaiRef ( haha flowers )
23:24 Eska ( )
23:25 DaiRef As she sat down a waiter came over and he walked over with a menu, placing it down for her. There were a large amount of choices, ranging from different types of foods. Sinnoh cuisine like macaroons, pastas... Unova boxed lunch sets, and large vegetarian dishes that came far from the Kalos region. "May I start you off with something to drink?" He asked.
23:26 Eska "Uhmmm..." What did pokemon even drink? "We'll all just have water...unless you have a recommendation."
23:29 DaiRef "Well, it's alright... I'll get that for you three..." He smiled. He walked away momentarily.
23:30 DaiRef After a moment, he had a bottle of water in his hand and placed two dishes of water on the table. "Here you go...are you ready to order yet? Soup, Cake, Lunch Box, Salad, Pasta, anything?" He asked her quietly.
23:32 Eska "Uhh...what do you guys want?" she asked. She held the menu out for them. Rattata quickly put his paw on a picture of a fancy looking cake. Pumpkaboo seemed to shrug like he was happy with anything. "We'll have the cake."
23:33 DaiRef ( rofl )
23:33 DaiRef ( this is the cutest thing ever xD; )
23:33 Eska ( 2cute4school )
23:33 DaiRef The man nodded. "Understood... I will be right back. It might be around 15 minutes...." He stated before walking away into the ship to place the orders.
23:34 Eska ( just remembered both of my pokemon are girls. she* her* )
23:35 Eska "So uhh...how are you guys doing?" Rattata gave a shiny grin. Pumpkaboo smiled and said, "Boo!" Eska was the odd one out in this cheery group.
23:36 Eska She patiently waited, continuing her weird one-way small talk.
23:39 DaiRef After a few moments of waiting, the man came back with a fluffy white cake with a large plump strawberry on top. There was also a few decorative slices of strawberrys on the side of the plate. "Enjoy madam." He stated before walking away.
23:41 Eska Rattata immediately dove in. Almost literally. Her face occupied at least half of the cake. Eska wanted to say something, but since she was trying to be friendly, she let it go. She calmly cut an unscathed slice for herself and one for Pumpkaboo. Pumpkaboo picked up one of the strawberry slicely and delicately ate it.
23:41 Eska Eska looked around to see who else was eating.
23:42 DaiRef At a table nearby, the boy she had met earlier had king sized plates laid all over. He was gulping the food down rapidly along side his munchlax. The boy she had battled earlier was also sitting nearby, calm, cool and collected... an antagonistic aura was placed around him...
23:43 DaiRef *The other
23:43 Eska She found it peculiar that both of her earlier combatants were also eating. She waved at the comedian. He'd seemed nice at least. For now she was ignoring the spinda guy. By now Rattata had consumed the rest of the cake.
23:47 DaiRef The boy was too busy eating. However, the boy walked over towards the comedic figure. They talked for a few moments before munchlax's trainer nodded innocently. They began to walk towards a door that appeared on the side of the boat.
23:48 Eska Eska raised an eyebrow. That was odd. The cake was all gone, so they didn't have much of a reason to stay sitting anyway. "I wonder what those two are up to." she said. "Boo" Pumpkaboo replied. Eska put Rattata on her shoulder, and followed their path.
23:49 DaiRef After walking towards the door that was cracked, she went through, only to see a dark staircase leading to a door far below...
23:50 DaiRef It was rather dark inside.
23:51 Eska Eska didn't know whether this was a bad idea, but she tried it anyway. "Hey Pumpkaboo, maybe you could use confuse ray to light the way." she whispered. Pumpkaboo put out a dazzling light.
23:53 DaiRef As the light sparked into the darkness, the stairwell was lit up and the pipes around them were shown. However, there was nothing else in sight besides the door below.
23:53 Eska "Alright." Eska gulped. She went down the stairs with her pokemon, and opened the ominous door.
23:55 DaiRef Soon enough it opened. There was a small stadium. On each end of the room were small circles painted on the ground, one red and the other blue. The comedic figure was standing on the blue circle, while the rivalistic guy was standing amongst the red.
23:56 Eska It seemed a battle was either going on or about to take place. Eska remained quiet, and watched from the doorway. Pumpkaboo shouted, "Boo!" Eska quickly put her hand over Pumpkaboo's mouth.
23:58 DaiRef The boy on the red corner smirked a little bit. "Heh... well... I heard about you...Diamond!" He pointed at the comedic figure, now with his name revealed. The boy with a scarf chuckled at his remark. "Eh?" The munchlax jumped off of his shoulder, now showing what strength the small creature really had.
23:59 Eska ( Gasp )
23:59 Eska Eska wished she'd got some popcorn from the all-you-can eat. She watched contentedly, hoping her pokemon didn't give her away just yet.
00:00 DaiRef "Spinda...!" The spinda came out of the pokeballs light... He chuckled and looked at Diamond with an intense glare. "I'll destroy you... I know your strategies, your skills, your weaknesses... I did my homework I hope you know."
00:01 Eska Eska severely doubted that Spinda kid could beat...Diamond. He seemed very sure of himself in their own battle.
00:03 DaiRef "Munchlax use-" He was interrupted. "Teeter dance..." Suddenly the spinda quickly spun around both Diamond and Munchlax at strange speeds. Suddenly both Diamond and Munchlax were confused it seemed. "Dizzy punch!" The spinda flew high in the air before crashing down on the munchlax! The area shook a bit from the impact!
00:03 Eska Eska nearly lost her footing. She held her arms out to regain her balance. Had the spinda kid been going easy on her?
00:05 DaiRef "Munchlax rollout!" Quickly the munchlax began to spin, but hit the wall from confusion. "E-eh!?" The boy snapped. "Brick break!" With a quick bash of it's fist, the munchlax flew to the back wall, cracking bits off of it. "MUCHLAX!" It passed out from the impact. Like a gun Diamond switched the pokeballs. "Lickilicky!"
00:06 DaiRef *BOF*
00:06 Eska Oh it was the most exciting battle Eska had seen. Even if it was a bit one-sided so far.
00:07 DaiRef A large pink pokemon stood in it's place. "I knew you were going to do that..." *BOF* Spinda was recalled back.
00:08 DaiRef In replacement was a porygon-Z, floating in mid-air. "You think a porygon or porygon-2 are fast fast as computers? Well porygon-z is just as fast as a hacking encryption." With quick movement the porygon-Z moved so fast it was impossible to catch up with it.
00:09 Eska Eska hadn't seen any of their other pokemon yet. The Porygon-Z seemed alien, and it was so fast that it hurt Eska's eyes when it move. She blinked a bunch to reorient herself.
00:09 DaiRef "Formation...Ice Beam, Zap Cannon, Solar Beam...! I like to call this combo the three elements!!" With quick movement the beams shot out towards the Lickiliy rapid fire!
00:09 DaiRef "Dodge!" The boy smirked. "Nope...Lock-On."
00:09 DaiRef The porygon-Z targeted the enemy. "Hyper beam!"
00:10 DaiRef With a large amount of energy a blast went out towards the Lickilicky who seemed to be struggling. "Hyper beam!"
00:10 Eska Eska's mouth flew open. It was so powerful!
00:11 DaiRef Large blasts of energy boomed out of their locations, pushing each other back. Soon enough the lickilicky was crashed by it's power. With rubble flying upwards the lickilicky was down. "Damnit!" Diamond cursed out loud, which he never does. *BOF* *BOF*
00:11 DaiRef "Let me guess..." The boy stated. He switched too. *CLANK* A charmeleon came out on his end. "You're going to choose... Shieldon?"
00:12 DaiRef A shieldon had appeared on the stage. Diamond was now sweating. "Heh...you shouldn't have done that you know... Earthquake!!" He yelled. The ground began to rumble, pieces of earth started shooting rapidly towards the charmeloen.
00:12 DaiRef Gas pipes above were being battered, a couple of them let out steam.
00:13 Eska Eska was able to remove herself from the battle to see the problem. "Uhm..."
00:13 Eska Pumpkaboo used worry seed because of all the excitement.
00:13 Eska ( )
00:14 DaiRef "Jump." The charmeloen jumped into the air, now flipping before being pushed back by it's own command. "Inferno!!" A large blast of fire shot out on the shieldon, making it faint in one go...
00:14 Eska Eska covered her eyes during the intense blast.
00:14 Eska How could their pokemon be so strong?
00:15 DaiRef "Ugh..." Diamond switched again. "This isn't good...Rotom!!" He stated in a lazy tone. A small ghost like figure appeared, nearly distorting the air from it's ghost like figure.
00:15 DaiRef "Hmph, no problem... Magneton..."
00:15 DaiRef *BOF*
00:17 DaiRef "Use..." The boy smirked. "Is it's normal form? Lame...signal beam! Lock-On!" As the rotom attempted to dodge the moves, there was no way for the blasts to miss!
00:18 DaiRef *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* The rotom was being tossed and turned in the air, before it gave with it's painful squeels. The strikes lit the room, the boy's eyes were full of red while Diamond's eyes were a grey blue color. Their faces flashed through the dimly lit area.
00:19 Eska Eska felt awful for Diamond, but she couldn't lie; she was very entertained.
00:19 DaiRef "Torterra! I need you!!" He screamed. A large forest like beast appeared on field. He chuckled a little bit. "I bet Servine can take it down..."
00:21 DaiRef He smirked before sending the grass snake out. "Leaf tornado!" A large gust of wind and leafs swirled to Torterra. "Ra-..." Quickly leaves of sharp and precise speed blindidely cut through the tornado, stabbing the Servine through it's skin, pinning it on the back wall. "Hmph...your signature. I should've guessed. Once down I guess."
00:21 DaiRef The leaves were stuck inside of the Servine's stomach and arms, it screamed in pain.
00:21 DaiRef "Return." The boy stated. Diamond finished. "zor leaf..."
00:22 Eska Eska covered her ears during the horrible shrieks. Was Diamond making a comeback?
00:22 DaiRef "Finally I catch you at your best..too bad it's over!" A large flash of light beamed down on the ground. However, the light grew...and grew...and grew... before it was huge and bulky. It was a gyaradous.
00:23 DaiRef "Razor Leaf!" Diamond shouted. The leaves quickly struck, but the gyaradous was faster. Without much of a command a huge ice beam shot out at the leaves, crystalizing all of them. Then it beamed Torterra, it was knocked out. And...frozen in a glacier.
00:24 DaiRef Diamond returned it. "I guess... I have no choice." He released his pokeball underneath his feet, and a large light rose underneath him. He was standing on top of something huge, even larger than Gyarados....
00:25 DaiRef
00:25 Eska Eska's eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. She was too terrified to even scream.
00:25 DaiRef The other boy hopped on his Gyarados... smirking. "Bingo. Time to finish you..."
00:26 DaiRef "Thunderpunch!!" Diamond yelled.
00:26 DaiRef "Outrage!!" The boy screamed.
00:26 DaiRef They collided, a huge light shined from the impact... "HARDER! GIGA IMPACT!!!"
00:26 DaiRef "GIGA IMPACT GYARADOS!"
00:27 DaiRef A huge explosion erupted as the giants clashed.
00:27 DaiRef ...
00:27 Eska Eska closed her eyes during the powerful crash.
00:28 DaiRef The smoke faded... Diamond... was now in the back wall nearly fainted and severely hurt. There were cuts and bruises all over his body. The gyarados was so close to Diamond, it's breath boomed over him. He jumped off and crushed his foot into Diamond. "....I'm so disappointed. Losers are everywhere it seems."
00:28 Eska Eska ran over and tried to push the boy out of the way. "Diamond are you okay?"
00:30 DaiRef Diamond was on the ground, but he was passed out. "Oh, you were watching? As you can see his oh-so powerful pokemon was hit so hard it seemed to be off the field and back into the pokemon." He stated quietly. He looked at Eska into her eyes. "It's all about smacking 'loser' into people's title..." He smirked down at him.
00:31 Eska "Geez, I thought I was pretty mean, but you're just cruel..." she replied. Rattata nodded her head. "We need to get him some help."
00:32 DaiRef He recalled his gyarados and looked at her with a chuckle. He put his headphones on. "I can't hear you." He winked at her and laughed to himself. "Hmhmhmhmhm... I'm the king, I don't listen to my royal subjects."
00:32 DaiRef He started to walk away...
00:33 Eska Eska was so angry, but she felt powerless too. What could she possibly do? She ran to the door to try to get Diamond some medical attention.
