Individual RP: Bumblebee

NBP#1

The one thing that caused me to feel nervous and worried about this expedition to the Outer Heavens was the cliffs. I had a mild phobia of heights, and even if I hadn't, I probably would have been nervous as well. I was worried for there was a possibility we could fall from the platforms... However, I was reassured slightly when the trainer I was to take was a fellow ranger. He had definitely more experience than me. We'd just have to be rather careful while exploring and battling up there, I figured.

Rex Riker was his name, known for his Houndoom standing by his side wherever he'd go. ShadowPanther, the Fire-Dark-type, would never be found in his Pokeball. They were mighty close friends for sure. He also had a wide array of Pokemon - some many trainers would crave for. Like Volcarona, Porygon-Z, Gardevoir, among others.

I packed the usual things into my brown shoulder bag, tough I was quite convinced the trainer-slash-ranger wouldn't need to buy Pokedolls or the like from me. As I had read in his entrance form, he had a large collection of National park items. Sixteen Pokedolls!

Once I had double-checked everything was A-okay, I headed out of my Ranger office and into a different one. I knocked on the slightly-opened door before entering.

"Ready to go on your run?" I asked the male ranger, giving Shadowpanther a short nod. I released my Staraptor, Nia - getting to the Heavens would be tricky for she had yet to learn this move called Fly in the Pokemon Universe. However, she could fly, just not extremely long distances. I believed in her though. Archer, my Gallade, wasn't a viable option this time for he could not teleport great distances either. I rubbed my partner's feather-covered neck, waiting for my fellow ranger to get ready. This run was bound to be an exciting one since Rex was known to be quite a quirky person.

“Well, looks like this is our first run Skullcruncher.” I said. “Wonder what will go wrong. You know, we probably won’t even find anything worthwhile. If we don’t then I’m so ditching our Ranger and going off on my own, I mean, I am a Ranger after all. We should be allowed to go on our own.” The large black and blue three-headed dragon just laughed and shook his head. “You know, you are all I need to go on this run. Well, you and Colossus, but Alex had to go borrow him. I guess I can borrow one from Alex and the rest from Leo.”

“Hey Shadow!” I called out to him, “Want to come with us on our run?” A bright light flashed before me as a humanoid figure appeared in front of me. “Ugh, why’d you do that? Why can’t you teleport behind me?”

“You know Leo will get mad if you take Shadow with you.” She said.

“Fine, you can come too. Why not bring Cybershock as well.” I groaned, rolling my eyes. Right as I said that, the black and red computer Pokémon teleported besides Mindbender.

“Okay… Thanks… I am coming too…!” Cybershock quickly said.

“Might as well. All my Pokémon are being used, so I might as well use you all. You know, you two are quite good at inflicting status moves on Pokémon, I’ll need that. Not to mention it would be really useful. Knowing my luck, I’ll need it. I’ll catch more Pokémon than any of my brothers, shouldn’t be too hard. So you guys coming?” Shadow quickly nodded his head. Even though Shadow was Leo’s main Pokémon/Partner, he was pretty close to all of us and liked to tag along when he could.

“Yes, I guess I have to if he’s going. Someone has to keep an eye on him and let Leo know where we are.” She stated, not making it totally obvious that she wanted to come. Cybershock just nodded and shrugged his shoulders. I walked over to Alex’s area and picked up one of his Pokeballs. We can take Flamefeather as well, she will also be useful on this run. I’ll need another flyer if I’m going to be riding you Skullcruncher.”

“Ugh, why do I have to do all the work?” He joked.

“Yeah yeah, I’m the one that comes up with the plans.” I said, rolling my eyes. He just shrugged. “Okay, let me just grab my bag from my office.” Before I could grab it though, another Ranger walked in.

"Ready to go on your run?" She asked me.

“Yeah.” I said, picking up my bag. “Mindbender can teleport us there and then I can hope on Skullcruncher and we can start looking for Druddigon. I need a beast like that on my team.” I said, pulling out my Pokeplayer and inserting my voice disk. Mindbender quickly teleported us away. Once we got there, I pressed play on my disk and hopped on Skullcruncher. ​

 

NBP#2

"Yeah," Rex said as he picked up his bag. He vaguely resembled two other male rangers I knew - Alex and Leonardo. That was when I remembered they were brothers. And that Shadow, the Houndoom, belong to Leo. Still, the Houndoom was a friendly chap and would get along with any of the three - or so it seemed.

"Mindbender can teleport us there and then I can hope on Skullcruncher and we can start looking for Druddigon. I need a beast like that on my team," he continued, motioning over to his Gardevoir. I barely had the chance to nod in acknowledgment and recall Nia back into her Pokeball as bright Psychic-typed energy enveloped us. The aura began to transport us to the Outer Heavens - bit by bit; atom by atom; cell by cell, you get the idea.

Now, as the hue dissipated, we found ourselves standing on one of the lower platforms of the zone. There was a slight misty fog covering the area, which made it harder to see the platforms and cliffs. The situation was slightly more dangerous now. We heard growls of the creatures the lived here and saw Flying-types zipping here and there above us.

Rex reached into his bag, retrieving a PokePlayer and a Voice Disk. The black circular object was labeled, "DRUDDIGON", in big bold letters. He inserted the disk into the player before tapping the 'Play' button. In a split-second, the device emitted a loud cry. The wail traveled with the air, startling a near-by Starly.

We waited a few moments, but to no avail. Voice Disks didn't work a hundred percent of the time, unfortunately. I shook my head apologetically at Rex, knowing he probably had the personality and temper of his brothers.

This first level, or platform, was rather large, but I knew that as we would rise higher into the Heavens, they'd get smaller quickly. I led the ranger to the other side of the place, where more entities swooped from right to left, from up to down, and vice versa. A rapid flash of blue swooshed past us - the trainer's first encounter.

The Pokemon, or whatever it was, circled around us swiftly - flapping its dark wings so rapidly that it appeared to be only a speck of dark blue. It finally tired out - I think - for it stopped right in front of us. "Krow!!" the Big Boss Pokemon growled, continuing to flap its wings. Dark blue feathers covered them, while the underside of its wings are partially red. The tail's base was a white, cylindrical stalk, on which there was a growth of red feathers on the end. It had a white and prominent crest of feathers on its chest that bore resemblance to a beard. Its black feet had four toes. Its head was supported by a broad and short neck, and it had a slightly curved, yellow beak. The circular eyes had a white cornea, while the pupils were red and the eyelids were also dark blue in color. A large feather crest on the creature's head made it appear to be wearing a fedora hat which had spikes extending from the back.

I brought out my RDA - Ranger's Digital Assistant - which had a Pokedex installed into it. The device scanned the entity quickly, before emitting in a mechanic voice, "If one utters a deep cry, many Murkrow gather quickly. For this, it is called the “Summoner of Night."" The gadget's voice and tone was unlike that of regular Pokedexes which had high-pitched and rather annoying sounds - this was pleasing to the ears, as pleasing as pleasing could possibly get with a machine's voice.

There was a bright flash of white light coming from the pocket of my jeans. Next thing I knew, my Gallade had released himself from his red-and-white Pokeball housing. <Those things are merciless by nature. If the Murkrow cronies make a mistake, they'll never forgive or forget it,> Archer told me through telephatic communication. The energy and power it took hurt my brain as I had yet to get used to it - we had just gotten down to communicating this way a day or two ago. I nodded my thanks, sending signals and waves to him hurt, too. The additional information would be useful, though.

"So, Rex, would you like to battle this Honchkrow?" I asked the male ranger, adding what my Pokemon partner had told me.

"So, Rex, would you like to battle this Honchkrow?" She asked me. I was kind of disappointed that I couldn’t find it. I wanted to release my anger by battling this Pokémon, but it wasn’t the one I was looking for. If it was a Murkrow then perhaps I would have battled it. I was only here for certain Pokémon, Murkrow being one of them, Druddigon, Farfetch’d, or Drifloon were among those few. I looked at the Honchkrow and then back at my ranger. I just took in deep breaths and calmed myself down.

“No, I don’t want to battle him.” I grumbled. “I’m just going to have to try and use my disk again.” I tossed a doll towards the Honchkrow. “Play with that.” I brought forward my Pokeplayer and pressed play again. “Can we go now? I want to try and find what I came here for.”

“Do you know where these beasts hang out?” I asked, trying not to sound irritated. I looked around and waited for her to respond. I wasn’t sure whether or not I wanted to use a Masterball on Druddigon or not. I was pretty lazy at the moment and just wanted to get what I wanted and get out. ​

 

NBP#3

I noticed Rex's irritated and disappointed face, and I looked on glumly. I would have felt the same way if I had wanted a specific creature so badly but couldn't find it. In my opinion, Honchkrow wasn't such a bad Pokemon, but perhaps the ranger-slash-trainer wanted to catch those that were at their lowest form or perhaps he only really wanted Druddigon.

“No, I don’t want to battle him." Came the reply in a hoarse grumble. I nodded as he tossed a pink-colored toy towards the Big Boss Pokemon. It caught the Pokedoll by the wing, and at first, I wasn't completely convinced that the doll would do the trick. But, then again, these things seemed to have a "magic touch" for any entity - no matter how tough or cold they seemed to be. Everyone had soft spot, did they not?

I motioned for Archer to follow us as we left the "Summoner of Night" with its new toy. I led Rex up a pillar or two and onto another platform. It was about as large as the one earlier, but as I looked up and all around, I saw more pillars and platforms of the like. We'd keep climbing higher until we'd find the Druddigon - event if it meant going to the top of the tower of the Outer Heavens and back down. Though, I hoped it wouldn't have to come to that. I didn't know how much patience Rex had.

The male teen started to play the Voice Disk once again. The sound waves traveled quickly, echoing throughout the zone... The cry of Druddigon seemed to have bothered some other flying organisms but did not attract them.

When not a single Pokemon approached us, I sighed and led him up another short flight of wooden stairs and onto another level. This time, we encountered a serene-looking female creature - tucked to one side of the platform. What a sight - you wouldn't see an entity like this everyday!

It was a bird-like Dragon Pokémon vaguely resembling the Legendary Lugia. The lower half of her body was red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet like that of a Crobat. It had a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest that resembled one of the spots Togepi and Togetic have. The upper-half of the Eon Pokemon's body was, on the other hand, white in coloration. She had triangle-shaped ears and a red face which had a white pentagon in the middle.

The gadget strapped onto my wrist piped up once more once it had scanned the mythical creature. "Her body is covered with a down that can refract light in such a way that it becomes invisible." I didn't fully understand what the device meant by a "down", but nonetheless, it was an interesting fact. Imagine, a Pokemon that which was not of the Ghost typing could become invisible merely under certain circumstances with the angles and light!

My Gallade sent me another message through telepathy, giving me more knowledge again on the Legendary. <Latias's white and red arms can be tucked into her body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight.>

I gazed in awe at the historical creature... I gestured to the Dragon-Psychic-tpye slowly, as if afraid that single sudden jerk would startle her. In a low whisper, with much evident amazement in my voice, I told Rex with a grin, "Picture time?" It was more of a statement than a question, actually. And I felt I already knew the answer.

I looked around as the voice disk played Druddigon’s cry throughout the area. I didn’t see anything coming our way, which was incredibly irritating, but then I remembered our run just started so I couldn’t give up yet. I was going to find one, even if I had to escape my ranger’s eye and go on my own path. We went up another floor of stairs. This time, instead of a Pokémon, a legend decided to show up. Generally, a regular person would be excited by this, but I wasn’t. Latias came towards us slowly.

“ What do you want?” I grumbled. “I’m busy looking for Druddigon or Farfetch’d. Do you know where any are?” I was kind of disappointed that Latias showed up and got in my way, why couldn’t it have at least been Latios, or even better… Rayquaza. I sighed. Patience certainly wasn’t my strongest point. I pulled out a small camera from my bag. I knew Cameron would like one of these so I decided I might as well take it since I was here.

I looked back at Mud. “Can we move on?” I asked, playing my Druddigon voice disk again. ​

 

NBP#4

Rex Riker wasn't too eager with the thought of taking a photo of the Legendary Pokemon - unlike his friend, and another ranger, Cameron, who simply loved pictures of rare encounters. Even then, he took a shot at the mythical entity. These kinds of pictures often sold for a reasonable amount of money. The shutter clicked, while flash from the camera startled the Latias. She flapped her wings quickly, flying out of sight.

My eyes trailed her flying figure as she swept over the horizon. Just slightly beyond a cloud, I could see the sun peeking out at us as the creature turned the other direction. I allowed a smile to linger on my face for a bit, before turning back to face the distressed and disappointed ranger.

I nodded. "Let's go," I replied as he got ready hit the the play button once more.

I led him around this significantly larger platform, then up a few more pillars. As we ascended the tall tower of the Outer Heavens, the thin mist from earlier just seemed to be getting thicker - bit by bit. I hoped it wouldn't come to a point where we, literally, would not be able to see anything. The topmost part of the area could hold just that exact fate, and if we couldn't find Druddigon or Farfetch'd soon, we might just have to reach that level.

I stopped abruptly as I heard a Pokemon cry come from behind me. I turned around, noticing I had been quite lost in thought that I hadn't seen we were on a much smaller platform. I had almost lost my footing. I certainly had to stop thinking so hard these days.

<Are you alright, Elisa?> my Psychic-Fighting-type companion asked.

{I'm fine, thanks,} I replied, turning to look at who had emitted that growl.

It happened to be a cute, small bird which had a brownish-gray colored body. The lower half of its wings as well as its head were black-colored. Its face made it look like it was wearing a white mask, with black eyes, white pupils as well as a thin orange beak. The tip of the beak was black in color, too. On its chest was a white spot. The Starling Pokemon's feet were orange and had three tail feathers: two black and one, in the middle, white. I knew what entity this was immediately for Nia was the evolved form of the creature. I thanked it with an appreciative smile and nod, then turned my attention to Rex.

I had the urge to lead him away right then and there, and to not even ask. I already knew the definite answer. Yet, I did not. It was Park Policy to ask, even if you knew that the trainer wouldn't want to battle the wild Pokemon. I was quite certain the teen also knew I would ask - at least, I hoped he knew. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a moment. "You wouldn't want to battle this Starly, would you?" I was surprised my voice didn't crack nervously.

"You wouldn't want to battle this Starly, would you?" She asked. It was obvious that I didn't want to battle such a weak Pokemon. I hated wasting time with Pokemon such as this one. I wasn't like Cameron who liked any Pokemon that came his way. He certainly didn't catch all Pokemon that came his way, but he was happy to see them. I never understood that, I didn't want to see Pokemon I didn't come here for. It was just a complete waste of my time.

"Yeah, I'm not wasting my time with that." I said, louder than I had expected. I just pulled out another Pokedoll and tossed it at the bird. "Now go away." I clicked play on my voice disk, hoping at least one would come my way. I knew my disk was running out and I knew I should have brought two. That was another thing that didn't make any sense to me. Why would a disk run out of energy, that made no sense. Regular music disks played as many times as you wanted, why didn't these. The Park sure messed up there.

"Where do we go now?" I asked impatiently. I checked my pokeplayer so that the Druddigon sound could go louder and farther. Perhaps one would hear the call now. If not then I was going to be screwed out. This was certainly irritating. ​

​

 

NBP#5

Rex reached into his bag once more, and he fished out yet another Pokedoll. "Yeah, I don't wanna waste my time with that," he said in a loud voice as he tossed the pink toy towards the hovering Starling Pokemon. "Now go away." His tone was rather cold and very impatient - who could blame him, though? I hoped we would come across what he'd want soon; the trainer was definitely getting very irritated. How much patience do you suppose was left in him?

The Normal-Flying-type flew off once it had caught the toy. I led Rex to the other side of the platform, where more pillars lay - connecting it to a higher level. The ranger-slash-trainer played the Pokeplayer once again, the device emitting another barrage of wails and growls.

This time, unlike the first three times, the voice disk did attract something... As we climbed up a few pillars, about two more 'till the next platform of the tower, we heard an echoing, thundering growl. I gazed up, and saw a large, blue, hunchbacked, reptilian creature boldly standing on the platform. It had medium-sized wings shaped like thistle leaves, and its irises were glaring and ferocious. Its arms seemed to be longer than its legs, giving it a low-slung, sloping gait - though I wasn't quite sure for we didn't have a certainly clear view of it. Its thick, medium-length tail was swinging from side to side. There were sharp claws on both its hands and feet. The entity's head was colored bright red, and had several blunt horns and spikes jutting out everywhere. It also had tall, conical spikes— similarly colored red; three on each arm, one on each shoulder, two on each leg, and four on its tail. It had a blunt, brutal snout, bearing a maw with no discernible teeth; instead, small fang-like protrusions sprouted from its jaws. Its eyes were pale yellow in coloration. The Cave Pokemon also had a series of olive-colored, football-shaped scutes running across its
belly.

Once we had gotten up to the same level as the creature, I brought my gadget forward, allowing it to scan the Dragon-type. "It warms its body by absorbing sunlight with its wings. When its body temperature falls, it can no longer move, the RDA piped up. An interesting fact, was it not?

As before, Archer was not one to be beaten. Almost immediately after the device had uttered the word "move", the Gallade had communicated with me telephatically.<It races through narrow caves, using its sharp claws to catch prey. The skin on its face is harder than rock.> I looked at him, and he grinned in a rather boastful manner.

[font=Palatino Linotype"]{Thanks, Archer. Now you just got me to be wary and cautious during this battle. Wouldn't want Rex's Pokemon to be badly injured due to the rough skin now, would we? Thou shall cometh with me more often...}[/font]

I turned to the joyful Rex Riker. "I don't even have to ask you if you want to battle this Druddigon." I laughed. I gave him the "go" signal as I stepped back a few spaces to give him more breathing room. And more battleground, too.

OOC: ILU <3 Used Fiery Dance and Flamethrower

The Starly caught the doll in its beak, and the small Pokémon flew away. I found it weird how a doll made them want to leave. Did the doll have some sort of scent that made them want to leave? Or did the dolls have some sort of spell on them. Either way, these dolls were extremely handy when you don't want to battle certain Pokemon.

You couldn’t imagine how angry I was getting. I didn’t know why, but I got angry a lot for little things. Yeah I needed some sort of anger management class, but that anger did make my battles much more interesting. All I kept finding was Pokémon that I didn’t want, minus Honchkrow. Honchkrow was pretty cool, and I did want one, but I wanted to train it as a Murkrow first, and plus, because Cameron wanted to add Murkrow to his Pokedex. If he wasn’t my brother then I wouldn’t have given a shit and just caught Honchkrow more than likely, even though I did like training them as young as possible. It made training them better because training young Pokemon new things was easy, training an old Pokemon new things was hard. If only there was a way to de-evolve Pokémon. I would do that to a lot of my Pokémon, if they allowed me too that is.

I raised the volume on my voice disk even more. I wasn't sure if that would work, but it would cover more ground and perhaps one would hear it. Something had to come my way. It was so loud now, I could see the walls shaking as the roar went through the staircase we were climbing. Of one didn't hear that, then I wasn't sure I would find one. I just sighed. I didn’t have much time left before the batteries or energy the voice disk had ran out. I knew I should have brought two of them. I usually do, but since Outer Heavens didn’t have many Pokémon, I figured finding one would be like finding Weedle in the Viridian Forest. Unfortunately, I wasn’t having much luck. It was hard to keep positive when things weren’t going your way. I let out another small sigh, I tried not to rage as much since that didn’t get me anywhere, but it did make me feel good. At least I could release that rage in battle... if I found someone to battle that is. Otherwise I would go through this whole run filled with rage, and even more rage when I reached the end and still no Druddigon or useful Pokémon. If that happened, then I was just going to escape my ranger’s clutches and go on my own run to find what I was looking for. I had done if before, but no one so far has caught me, at least that I was aware of. It was sort of fun going on my own and finding the Pokemon when there was no ranger on my ass, because then I could do things my way. Of course they were still legal, but it was just more carefree.

We climbed up a few pillars. When we got near the top of one of the staircases, I was about to put my voice disk up and try again later, but then I heard a louder, more realistic roar. I felt my negative energy flow out of my body as that familiar roar echoed through the staircase. I felt the floor rumble and knew something was coming our way. I quickly ran up the stairs and then I saw it. The large creature I was looking for. Druddigon. The large, blue, hunchbacked, reptilian creature with medium-sized wings shaped like thistle leaves. The wings surprised me as I expected them to be a bit bigger, but they were smaller than I expected. Its eyes were glaring ferociously towards us. I saw that his arms were longer than his legs and his wings. His thick tail, about the size of his wings swung back and forth as he waited for us to make a move. The sharp claws on both the hands scraped the floor. I could see by the way his claws caused sparks on the floor, just how sharp they were, I was sure his claws on his feet were just as sharp. We were going to have to be careful with that. His whole body looked like little jagged knives. On his bright red head, the horns and spikes were coming out everywhere. He had three red spikes on each arm and similar ones on his tail, shoulder blades, and legs. He roared again loudly, showing he didn’t have sharp teeth as I thought, but upon closer look, you could see small fang like spikes coming from his jaw. It didn’t look as dangerous as razor sharp teeth though. His yellow pale eyes looked at us. He was checking us out to see what he was up against.

Mud then brought out a device similar to my Pokedex. It then said, "It warms its body by absorbing sunlight with its wings. When its body temperature falls, it can no longer move. That was pretty good to know. I was going to use that to my advantage when the time came right. I just had to get to that point in battle.

"I don't even have to ask you if you want to battle this Druddigon." He laughed, giving me the go signal. He was damn right I wanted to battle this Druddigon. I grinned and nodded, there was no doubt that I wanted to capture this Pokémon. This was the main reason I had come here to this area. I really wanted to use my Masterball, but every time I got close to using it, I backed out and just wanted to battle. I guess it was because I really loved to battle and a Masterball didn’t allow me to do that, or perhaps it was just because it was so rare. Either way, I was battling this Pokémon, but with whom I didn’t know yet. I pulled out my Pokedex to get my own scan of the Pokémon and so that it would give me more details on the creature.

Druddigon – the Cave Pokémon. Druddigon are known to be about five feet to six feet tall and weight around three hundred to five hundred pounds. Their abilities consists of Rough Skin, Sheer Force, and the occasional, Mold Breaker. They are one of the only pure Dragon Pokémon, others being, Bagon and Shelgon, the Haxorus family, and the notoriously rare, Dratini and Dragonair. It races through narrow caves, using its sharp claws to catch prey. The skin on its face is harder than a rock. It warms its body by absorbing sunlight with its wings. When its body temperature falls, it can no longer move. Druddigon nimbly chases prey around its den, using its outstretched claws to catch them, they are carnivorous.

“Interesting.” I mumbled. So I will have to find a way to lower his temperature to immobilize him. However, that isn’t going to happen until I was ready to capture it. I didn’t want him to be immobilized during our battle, I wanted him battling at full capacity to see what he was made of. If he seemed good enough, then I would capture him. I only wanted certain Pokémon on my team, ones that would prove to be extraordinary with a bit of training. That’s how I caught all of my Pokémon. Had to make sure they were worthy of being on my team. They had to show the will to train, the strength to surpass challenges, and the wit to get out of certain situations. I could easily test for that here, but I only cared if they had one of those right now, I could get the rest in him while we trained.

Alright, I had five Pokémon. Skullcruncher could easily take Druddigon down in one move if he wanted too, but that wouldn’t show me how he did in battle, so I was going to have to use someone who wasn’t super effective against him. Shadow would be a perfect choice to use. He was Dark and Fire type and had a move that was super effective against the Druddigon and other moves that could do some damage, but he was one of the most powerful Pokémon I knew. Leo raised him well. If he wanted too, he could take down Druddigon and take minimum damage. Same for Mindbender, but she would be better to use because she was incredibly skilled in inflicting status conditions on Pokémon like putting it to sleep or paralyze it. She could pretty much inflict all of the status alignments there were. Cybershock was similar to Mindbender except he could put as many status moves as she could. I would have chosen Mindbender to battle, but I wanted to take this battle into the sky to see how well he did there, so I was going to use Skullcruncher to get me up there. Shadow, Mindbender, and Cybershock couldn’t fly, so I was going to have to use Flamefeather.

I tossed out a Pokéball and a large orange moth shot out of the ball. Her four small feet wiggled around. She stretched her six leaf-like wings, as she did; flames were coming off of her wings and scattered all around us. Her blue eyes stared down Druddigon. The smoky white fuzz looked soft like the clouds above. She extended her wings, and fire came out of each of them, making it look like a Fire Blast attack. I liked how her wings always did that, especially the way she controlled them.

“Alright! Skullcruncher, blast a whole in the roof with Dragon Pulse. We’re taking this into the sky.” I called out as I hoped onto his back. Skullcruncher raised his head and formed a purple ball. Small pulse rings shot out of the ball and took a piece of the roof off. “Let’s go.” I called out to Druddigon. The open space in the sky would be perfect for us to battle in. Druddigon flew up towards us. “Sorry, I’ll pay for that if needed. Or I’ll get it fix after this run.” I whispered to my ranger. I know causing damages to the park would get me a warning or something, but I wanted to battle in the sky. Yeah, I could have just walked to the end and went out the window, but where was the fun in that.

“Alright, Flamefeather. Use Quiver Dance then go into a Flamethrower attack. It won’t be super effective, but perhaps it will cause a burn on him. If not, we’ll try a Will-o-Wisp attack next. Right now I just want him to see our power so he’ll know what he is up against. Then we’ll see what he is made of.”

Flamefeather began dancing around beautifully. Then I stopped her before she could finish. “Actually, use Fiery Dance. If you use Quiver Dance, you may be too strong for him if you do that. Besides, you don’t need to bring up your special defense or speed. We’ll leave it to chance and see if you get a rise in your special attack the good, if not then oh well. Use Flamethrower afterwards though still.” She nodded and proceeded with the attack.

Her wings engulfed in flames as she danced around. The faster she danced, the more her body began engulfed in the flames. When she was finally covered in them, she sent the ball of fire towards Druddigon. It was all sorts of colors, red, blue, green, yellow, and white flames mixed together. It was like a colorful beam of light. Then she quickly began forming a stream of flames that she would launch at Druddigon once Fiery Dance hit, if it did. I was aware that if I wanted him immobolized, Flamefeather would not be the one to use for that. In fact, all she would do is just make him hotter, which was the opposite of what I wanted to happen. I was going to have to let that go because I didn't want to switch Flamefeather for someone else in the middle of a battle. I could find another way to capture it.

I was pretty happy that I finally found Druddigon and was getting to battle it. Now I just had to get it low enough to capture and move on to find a Farfetch’d or Murkrow. So far it was going good. Now I had to wait and see what exactly he could do. I didn’t want Flamefeather to get hurt too badly, but if Druddigon did attack her physically with a move like Crunch, then there was a chance he would get burned anyways because of her Flame Body ability. It was something I was going to count on since Druddigon was a physical attacker, not a special attacker, so that could be used to my advantage. He was known to be able to use Surf, but with there being no water around, it was going to be hard to use that move so I wasn’t going to worry about as of now. If it did somehow pull that move off, I would be surprised as hell, seeing that we were several hundreds of feet into the air. Then again, clouds had water in them, but these didn't look as if they had a lot of water. ​

 

BP#1

He wasn't type of trainer who would jump into battle straightaway - no, he was to think this through first. Most excited, over-confident, and, sometimes, less-experienced trainers always sent out a Pokemon immediately and start battling straight away. It took him a while to decide, the Pokedex entry having helped him so. His red, real, original Pokedex gave a lot more information compared to the, for lack of better term, Pokedex "app" of my RDA. I hadn't had any time to install all those quirks and stuff to make mine like a real one.

The ranger-slash-trainer tossed out a red-and-white-colored orb, and in a flash of white light, Flamefeather was released. She spread out her six wings, causing fiery flames to emerge from them. They blast out, dancing around her. Ironically, I thought it was a rather cool feat. I wondered if all Sun Pokemon could do this amazing thing...

"Alright! Skullcruncher, blast a hole in that roof with Dragon Pulse. We're taking this to the sky," he called to his Hydreigon as he hopped onto his partner. There was so much enthusiasm and confidence in his voice that I didn't even bother to mutter that it wasn't exactly a good idea to have ordered that command.

The Dark-Dragon-type growled in a low voice as he powered up. Dragon-typed energy bubbled in his throat, and soon, a dark purple-colored sphere began to form in front of his nuzzle. It was flashing darkly as more and more energy seeped into it with every passing second, causing it to grow larger and larger by the moment. When the pulsing ball was almost as big as, or as big as, the creature's own head, he released it with a mighty push and a gust of breath. The Dragon Pulse attack was sent flying upwards rapidly, and before you knew it, the orb had smashed into the tower's rooftop. I watched silently as it took a large chunk of the roof off - luckily not the whole thing, though.

“Sorry, I’ll pay for that if needed. Or I’ll get it fixed after this run,” Rex said in a rather low voice, before he took to the sky - bringing his Flamefeather with him.

The Dragon-type, upon seeing this act, flapped his blue wings, causing himself to rise higher. In a moment, he reached eye level with the Brutal Pokemon. He glared at the flying creature, then stared even harder at the Volcarona. He released a mighty roar as I watched from inside the tower as the battle began to unfold.

Rex's voice was loud and strong, and even from down below, I could hear his command. “Alright, Flamefeather. Use Quiver Dance then go into a Flamethrower attack. It won’t be super effective, but perhaps it will cause a burn on him. If not, we’ll try a Will-o-Wisp attack next. Right now I just want him to see our power so he’ll know what he is up against. Then we’ll see what he is made of.”

The Fire-type nodded once, before flapping her wings and soaring out from the ranger's clutches and into the sky's battlefield. She started to execute the first order, and as the move's name's sake, she began to quiver. And shake, and turn, and float, and dance as light as a feather in the breeze. I couldn't really see much of the dance from where I was standing, but from the looks of it down here, the Sun Pokemon was doing a great job way up there.

But then, the teen interrupted her wonderful dance. He had a change of plans, or so it seemed, as he boomed quickly, "Actually, use Fiery Dance. If you use Quiver Dance, you may be too strong for him if you do that. Besides, you don’t need to bring up your special defense or speed. We’ll leave it to chance and see if you get a rise in your special attack the good, if not then oh well. Use Flamethrower afterwards though still.” She turned around to face Rex, a flame shooting out from her side, but she, nonetheless, nodded and did not complain any further. She huffed, before returning back to her usual, calm nature. She had been quite enjoying her little dance as it seemed.

The Cave Pokemon let out a howl of impatience as the Volcarona began to dance once again - this time a different one from the last. It was seething, seemingly wanting to attack - but steadying itself and waiting. I didn't know why it planned on doing this, but I guessed it had a plan or it was just its nature or something. Now, the ranger's Pokemon was cloaked in flames and embers as she twirled about. She flapped her wings one after the other continuously, causing the blazes to blast out. They shot forward, and almost immediately, the opponent flapped its wings in attempt to evade. It managed to - barely. The fire pulses still managed to envelop it in flames. It didn't do as much damage as it could have done, but it did push the entity back into a puff of white cloud. Now, flames engulfed the Fire-type from bottom to almost top. They danced like the embers of a campfire, changing colors from red to orange to yellow, and then bak again. This continued for only a moment or two, before the glow disappeared into thin air, leaving Flamefeather in a seemingly more powerful state.

She closed her eyes, not knowing where the wild organism was exactly. She didn't care that much - all she was doing now was carrying out the next part of the command. And that was to attack with Flamethrower. She began to gather energy, heat rising from the pit of her stomach to her throat in a matter of moments. Soon, she would be able to let out a stream of blazes at the Druddigon... However, neither she nor Rex took into account the Dragon-type coming charging back with an attack of its own.

It was coming straight at her now, with one arm raised - a huge, sharp claw beaming and glistening under the sunlight. It snarled as it came closer, slashing its hand down. The hook hit the target dead on, waking her up from her concentration and taking out a reasonable chunk of her health. In all the panic of the Sun Pokemon, she emitted a blast of flames. The Cave Pokemon was taken aback as his face met fiery sparks.

It was in a rage now. Its avenge or revenge plan hadn't quite gone as planned. It roared in exasperation, causing a bubble of energy to surround him. In its fury, it released shock waves of pure anger. And they were aimed at, who else, but the Fire-type. What was Rex to do?

OOC: Gender of Druddigon?

 

OOC: Male please

I had expected Druddigon to attack back, but not with a physical move while she was using Flamethrower. I could see that he was reckless, something I was going to have to work on. Then again he could have thought his attack was stronger and he could cut right through it. I wasn’t sure if that was what he was thinking, but if it was then it showed he at least believed in himself, which was pretty good to me. I didn’t like weak Pokemon who doubted themselves. They had to be confident in what they were doing at least seventy-five percent of the time. As he closed in, I could see his enormously sharp claw glowing orange as he prepared to strike. Flamefeather was ready for him though. She took in a deep breath and released a stream of flames towards the Cave Pokemon right as he struck her. Those flames were incredibly strong thanks to Fiery Dance, and they easy knocked Druddigon back a few feet. I waited for a few seconds to see if the burn status had been inflicted by either Flamethrower or Flame Body, but I could see that it wasn’t. I was going to have to inflict it with Will-o-Wisp if I wanted it burned.

Druddigon looked pretty angry now that his attack attempt failed. As we both could clearly see, Flamefeather was still in perfect shape. She had taken some damage, but she was still good nonetheless. Slowly, I could see that anger turn into rage. A blue energy surrounded his body, the angrier he got, the bigger and stronger the energy grew. Suddenly, like a bubble, all the energy busted out and flew at Flamefeather in a Flamethrower-like form.

“Damnit,” I mumbled to myself. “I knew I should have gotten that speed with Quiver Dance. Shouldn’t have second guessed myself. Too late for that now.” Then I called out to Flamefeather. “Okay try and stop that attack with Fire Blast. Then hit him hard with Bug Buzz, and while his defenses are down, get a Will-o-Wisp in. You can do it.”

Flamefeather flew up higher and extended her wings. She let the sun’s rays quickly flow into her body as she began powering up her attack. I could see a star shaped flame begin to form. She thrusted her wings forward, blowing some wind onto the flames and they grew bigger. As the Dragon Rage approached, she released the Fire Blast attack. It was a large asterisk-shaped Fire-attack at least three feet wide. The attack went down to meet up with the Dragon Rage. This was it. Either Druddigon was fueled by more rage than I thought and Dragon Rage picked up enough speed to over throw the Fire Blast and hit Flamefeather, or Fire Blast overpowered the Dragon Rage and perhaps even hit Druddigon. I didn’t really care if it hit him though, since Fire Blast was just mainly there to stop the attack. I could only hope that it did more than that, but my main focus was that Dragon Rage and how I could minimize the damage. I braced myself, if the two attacks did collide, it would probably cause an explosion of some size. I hoped it was a small one, but since we were up here in the sky, I was pretty sure nothing would get any more damage than what we already caused so I wasn’t worried. Mud though would have to watch out.

If that worked, Flamefeather would then Bug Buzz would start. Bug Buzz was like an ear-piercing scream that could cause Druddigon to power his defenses by covering his ears. If he did, then that was the perfect time for Flamefeather to use Will-o-Wisp. What would happen was Flamefeather's wings would glow red and then she would point her antennas into the air. Her antennas would then vibrate and produce red soundwaves that would shot into the sky, creating a siren-like sound which would hurt Druddigon. The soundwaves then would come together and form a red beam of energy that Flamefeather will fire at Druddigon. While he is hurting on that, she would then move in and use the Will-o-Wisp by forming a small ball of blue, incredibly hot fire that she could quickly drop onto Druddigon like a bomb. It was a bit complicated, but I knew Flamefeather was great at doing combos, at least Alex taught her how to do those well. This would all come down to timing if anything. I knew I wasn’t asking for too much, but I hoped I didn’t overwhelm her. It was after all only three attacks. I had seen her perform much more complicated combos when Alex used her to win a contest several years ago. If this worked like I planned, the capture would just be that much closer to me. Then all I would have left to capture is a Farfetch’d, Murkrow, or perhaps Drifloon if I was in the mood. ​

 

BP#2

I settled on the fact that, from way down here, there was no way I could see the whole of the battle. There was no way I could enjoy the exciting battle from where I was standing. I loved to watch the battles of my trainers - whether they were newbies or not. Rex was certainly an experienced battler, which would undoubtedly mean that this battle was an interesting one. Thus, I threw out a Pokeball which contained Nia. I hopped onto her, and she took me to the sky.

Right as we arrived, Flamefeather was absorbing the sun's energy with her wings extended outward. "Thought I'd have a better view of the battle up here," I told the male teen simply. Staraptor flew beside Skullcruncher where we, side by side, watched an orange-colored star-shaped energy form in front of the Fire-type. She flapped her wings forward as they continued to glow a red hue. The star began to grow, each point getting longer and longer as it got hotter and hotter, too. Soon, it became large and asterisk-shaped. There seemed to be bubbles of energy coursing through the whole figure. The ranger-slash-trainer's partner took in a deep breath, making sure she still had enough power to be able to deliver the next attack swiftly. With a mighty thrust and a flap of her wings, she pushed the Fire Blast attack onwards - aimed directly at the shock waves of Dragon Rage.

The two attacks collided with each other, the flames engulfing the streaks of fury. What resulted was, a huge cloud of smoke and a slight explosion. There wasn't much to hit or blow up up in the air - and fortunately so. Once the dust disappeared, and the sky was as clean as it could possibly be after that collision, the Sun Pokemon was already preparing her next assault. The wild creature, too, was concentrating on powering up. What was he planning on doing this time?

She opened her mouth, and with forced yelp of sorts, screamed the loudest and in the most annoying voice she could. Involuntarily, my eyes widened uncontrollably as my hands shot up to cover my ears - which, by the way, were already hurting like mad. I felt as though my ear was beating red, stressed and aching, while my heart was hammering against my chest. My legs tightened my grip on my Normal-Flying-type's back, afraid the sound-based attack would push me off the edge. The noisy shouts continued on a for a moment or two, and in that time span, the Dragon-type could take it no longer. He was howling in pain; his arms also up on his head, trying to block out the horrible sound. I watched as his head flew up in agony - his guard was definitely down.

Remembering her trainer's final command, the Volcarona created a blue flame right in front of her. I recognized the move immediately for trainers had used this move so many times - not just in the National Park but also in my battles. This move was Will-O-Wisp, a status-inflicting move - the ailment being Burn. The ball of fire grew larger, before it split into four dancing embers. The scorching-hot blazes rose above her, and with a swift movement, she pushed them towards the opponent. The wind helped, too, and while the Cave Pokemon's defenses were down, the incredibly hot glows dropped onto him like a fiery bomb going off right as it hit him. He was surrounded in an inferno - the flames smacking him all around his body. He roared in anger; he was burned.

Quickly, he came charging forward once more. He opened his nuzzle, showing his small yet sharp teeth. Flamefeather had tried to do her best to dodge the assault. Unfortunately, the wild organism caught up with her evasive movements. When he got to her, he clamped down on her body immediately, inflicting quite a bit of damage. He held his grip on her as she struggled to break free from his grasp, while his arm raised up again. It wasn't glowing with Dragon-typed energy this time, though. This was a simple, though quite effective, Slash attack. He brought his claw down quickly, just as he had done earlier, creating a slight tear in one of Rex's partner's wings. In a moment, the Druddigon finally get go of his foe. He smirked at her smugly, making sure he had brought her health down.

He crossed his arms boastfully - that was probably a habit the ranger wouldn't want his Pokemon to have. But then, a scowl replaced the smug look on his face. He stopped himself from wailing in pain as he winced, feeling the burning heat from the earlier Will-O-Wisp attack. Blood coursed through his vessels rapidly as he endured the scorching feeling in his system.

OOC: Come on, Bee, only 8K more to go ^^ Btw, if you're wondering why Hydreigon is only at 95%, it's because of the Bug Buzz (targets everyone in the area except Volcarona)...

 

OOC: Okay, makes sense ;]. Also, I used a Calming Fragrance Plus (5k) and this is the capture post, fingers crossed xD

IC: My predictions were correct. Fire Blast and Dragon Rage were pretty matched and did in fact cause an explosion. Flamefeather’s Bug Buzz did cause Druddigon to drop his guard momentarily while he tried to block out the shrieking sounds. It was a long shot, but it worked. While he tried to block the sound, Flamefeather went in and dropped the Will-o-Wisp, bomb style. I was impressed with the way she pulled it off. It was spectacular. The only thing I miscalculated was that Bug Buzz hit all Pokémon around, including Skullcruncher. He flinched a little at the sound. If Bug Buzz was used at him directly, we would have a problem since Bug type moves were super effective against him.

“Well done Flamefeather!” I called out to her. When I did, Druddigon shot forward and bit down hard on her. She desperately tried to escape, but couldn’t Druddigon wasn’t finished there. He raised his left sharp claw and slashed it down on her. Then, he retreated back with an annoyingly confident look on his face. He crossed his arms like a boss. It was good to be confident, but he was being a bit too confident. He did cause some damage to Flamefeather, but he had already sustained more damage than her, and his physical attack was already low thanks to burn. Flamefeather and I were going to knock that smug look off of his face. Then burn scorched his body, but Druddigon didn’t flinch or show that he was in pain, which I liked. I felt that one last hit would do the trick.

“Alright Flamefeather, use Ember, then trap him with String Shot. That should give me enough time to capture him, but first shoot some of that String Shot at this Hyperball.” I said, pulling out a Calming Fragrance Plus and a Hyperball. Flamefeather shot her silky thread at the Hyperball, which would allow it to stick to Druddigon and capture it. The Ember, along the burn damage should put him lower enough for me to capture without any problems. String Shot should hold him down long enough for me to aim the Hyperball perfectly.

I looked over to Druddigon who was still looking smug. He didn’t know that he was already mine. Flamefeather moved towards him. She was already charged up and ready to go. She began firing mini orange fire pelts at the dragon beast. As she did, I released the contents in the vile labeled ‘Calming Fragrance Plus’ and enlarged my Hyperball. I didn’t even care if String Shot worked or not because I pretty much had this bagged and tagged already. I just needed Flamefeather to help with the capture in case I missed. I didn’t want the Hyperball hurdling down towards the earth if it did miss. String Shot was there to slow Druddigon down and make it easier for me to capture. I wasn’t sure how much of her thread that would take, but I hoped she could produce enough. As the Ember pelts were about to hit Druddigon, I took aim. As soon as she shot the String Shot attack then I was throwing my Hyperball.

​

 

BP#3

"Alright Flamefeather, use Ember, then trap him with String Shot. That should give me enough time to capture him, but first shoot some of that String Shot at this Hyperball," Rex gave out his most likely final command for the battle. He pulled out a Hyperball for his Volcarona to cover with sticky white material. She inhaled a deep breath before quickly covering the red-and-white housing with strings made of silk thread.

She turned, staring at the opponent hard. The Dragon-type simply stayed there, stationery, laughing at the trainer and his Pokemon with sheer confidence. Little did he know that the Sun Pokemon was powering up. I didn't like the look on his face as he looked down on her. I shook my head and focused on the Fire-type, who was slowly edging closer to the wild creature. The next instant, she was firing small yet scorching flames of fire. The blazes each, one by one, slammed against the rough outer covering of the entity. The fiery balls did not do that much damage for his skin was thick and hard. Still, they did take out a small chunk of his health - just enough to lower him for capture once the burn would take its toll sooner or later.

The Cave Pokemon roared, flinging his arms out indignantly from their crossed position, as if he was just brushing off a speckle of dust. He was about to attack the enemy, however, she had fired another stream of sticky silk - and fortunately so. She continued to release a barrage of string, covering the organism from right to left; then from top to bottom. She had to stop herself after a while, though, for the thread was running out. Nevertheless, the String Shot attack had surrounded the target, squeezing him tightly. It bound him, just waiting for the Hyperball of the ranger-slash-trainer.

Fleamfeather flew out of the way immediately as the male teen tossed the orb straight towards the Dragon-type. He wasn't very far away, else the sphere might have been pulled downwards by the giant magnet, called gravity. It soared through the air, glinting in the sunlight. Now, the Volcarona looked at the Druddigon with a new expression - the emotion of happiness and friendship. Once this battle was done and won, they'd have a new member on their team. A new friend, a new companion, a new battler.

The orb tapped Druddigon with a thud, opening up to allow a beam of bright red light to flash out. It was an erratic streak, zig-zagging as it went. It sucked the Dragon-type into the sphere. It shook in the air, dropping down suddenly.

"Nia, after it!" I shouted quickly, pointing at the falling Hyperball. My Staraptor sped down urgently as I held onto her neck for dear life. If anyone knew how to fly swiftly in emergencies, it was her. I could trust her to do it any ol' day. Next thing I knew, we had swooped down, letting me catch the ball before it could crash down into the tower. I smiled at my Pokemon proudly. "Great job!" I praised her, rubbing her feather-covered neck. In the palm of my hand, the orb trembled for only a brief split-second before I heard a click. She flew me back up to Rex.

"Congratulations!" I told him with a smile. "As you already know, I'll have to keep this until the end of your run. Now, where would you like to go? Want to continue exploring the skies up here, or would you want to go back down in to the tower?"

I couldn't help but to grin as I saw Druddigon sealed away inside the Hyperball. One thing I forgot though, was that we were in the air. Luckily, my rangers Staraptor caught it before it plummeted down to the earth. I could have caught it myself, but she was already on it.

Once that was taken care of, my ranger asked me.where I wanted to go next. "I guess we can stay up here, I want to try my Farfetch'd Voice Disk." I said, sounding happier than usual. I placed my Druddigon voice disk away and popped in the Farfetch'd disk and pressed play. "Let's hope I get lucky again. Even if I don't then its still cool because I have Druddigon. If not Farfetch'd then Murkrow, either or."

 

NBP#6

"I guess we can stay up here, I want to try my Farfetch'd Voice Disk," Rex said with an, unexpectedly, happy grin spread across his face. "Let's hope I get lucky again. Even if I don't then its still cool because I have Druddigon. If not Farfetch'd then Murkrow, either or."

I nodded as I gently nudged my Pokemon to fly onwards at a reasonable pace. He removed the Voice Disk from the player, replacing it with a different one. This disk was marked similarly to the Druddigon one, except this time, the word "FARFETCH'D" was on the circular object instead. He hit the play button of the Pokeplayer, and, now, a new series of wails and growls echoed throughout the sky.

We continued to move along, trying to get a certain creature to notice the loud sound. Unfortunately, this time, the ranger-slash-trainer's lucky stars weren't shining. We encountered another entity, yes, but this one was a very common one, which you could simply buy in a shop or PokeMart for a rather small amount of money. It was an avian Pokémon that resembled an eaglet. Its head had a thick covering of fuzzy white down and a grayish-blue face. A single red and white plume, which resembled an honor feather, extended from its forehead. The organism's body and wings were the same shade of blue as its face, and both seemed rather miniature compared to the size of its head. It had large yellow feet tipped with black talons, and the Eaglet Pokemon's beak was also yellow. Its tail was squared-off at the tip, and its coloration matched its downy head.

I turned to the male teen with a slight frown. "I don't suppose you would be interested in a Rufflet?" I asked, some tone of displeasure evident in my voice at the sight of the wild creature. I figured Rex would throw yet another Pokedoll to the Flying-type - any second now.

"I don't suppose you would be interested in a Rufflet?" She asked me. I just shook my head and pulled out a Pokedoll.

"No, I already have one." I said, looking down on the Rufflet. It did sort of look like a cute little baby, but I wasn't in the mood to battle a Pokemon I didn't come here for. That would just waste my time. I tossed the little bird Pokemon my Pokedoll and waited for it to fly away. As I waited, I raised my Pokeplayer and pressed play again. If this Farfetch'd disk ran out before I could find one then I would be disappointed, but somewhat content that I at least found Druddigon. Then I would just leave and perhaps come back again soon for that little guy.

"Do you know where Farfetch'd are located?" I asked my Ranger. I hadn't been here before like I should have, usually scouting the area before I came so that I would know exactly where to look when I got here, but I didn't do that this time. I was going to have to rely on my Ranger to see if she knew anything.​

 

NBP#7

Rex simply shook his head in a "no" as he retrieved yet another Pokedoll from his bag. If this kept up with all the rather common specimens of Pokemon, he'd probably leave the Outer Heavens with only half of his original sixteen pink toys remaining. Oh, how I wish that Farfatch'd would appear soon. A disappointed Rex is not a very pretty sight. Besides, who wanted to keep seeing these "Mart 'Mons", as we call them, anyway?

The ranger-slash-trainer tossed the doll to the wild creature, who happily caught it. A second later, and the Rufflet was gone - flying off with its new inanimate companion.

He held his Pokeplayer up high, before pressing the "Play" button once more. He let out a sigh, hoping a certain Wild Duck Pokemon would hear the growls and cries of the Voice Disk. We continued on our way, yet no Normal-Flying-type appeared.

Oh, well, actually one did. Not the type we were looking for though. This entity resembled a small, plump-bodied bird. It was brown in coloration, with a lighter-colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings shared this cream color as well. Both its feet and beak were a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage was fairly nondescript, particularly compared to the entity's evolutions Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. There were black markings around its eyes, while a small crest of brown and cream feathers rested above its eyes. The Tiny Bird Pokemon's feet allow it to walk on the ground for a while but can also reach out and safely land on perches.

The ranger was going to throw another one of his Pokedolls - I knew it, for sure. Even though these toys weren't very expensive (only 500 Pokedollars each), it still seemed to be a waste - using the dolls on very common Pokemon. "How about a Pidgey?" I inquired with a short sigh of disappointment.

The Rufflet left without giving me any trouble, which I was glad for. I wasn't in the mood to battle right now, especially something that I didn't want to capture. Even though Farfetch'd still hadn't appeared yet, I managed to not get angry. I didn't want to get worked up yet. Mud didn't respond to my question, so I just took that as a no.

"How about a Pidgey?" She asked, breaking my chain of thought. I looked over to the small light brownish bird. I didn't want it, if I were going to get a Normal/Flying type, it would be Staraptor or Bravary since it seemed the coolest. That Rufflet had a better chance of me capturing it. I pulled out another dolll from my bag and tossed it at Pidgey, then I pressed play on the voice disk again. If I got lucky, then I would leave after I caught Farfetch'd. If not then I would leave after the disk ran out and probably come back in again.​
