Individual RP: Bumblebee

Leo took out a Pokedoll without saying anything. I was no Rocket Scientist, but I was fairly certain this meant that Leo had no interest in facing Vanillite, and just wanted to move on. I took the doll, and threw it at Vanillite. The ice cream cone Pokemon gladly took the doll, and took off with it. Leo clearly didn't want to waste any time with some small fry, and if I saw his records right a relative of his was already traded a Vanillite in the past by someone that I knew named Eric. So I couldn't blame Leo for not wanting this Pokemon, and now it was once again time to take off.

We started going a little deeper into the cave, with Chandelure taking the lead still. Thanks to the five flames coming off of Chandelure's body we would easily be able to see anything coming our way before it had a chance to do anything. We kept walking when a little Pokemon stuck its head up at us. It was a pig-like Pokemon, it even had a little pig nose. Its body was covered in brown, striped hair, or fur, which made them easily able to withstand the intense conditions that could be experienced at Mount Deckbi. Its eyes appeared to be closed, and its legs were completely covered up.

"Care to battle this Swinub, Leo?"

As we went deeper in the cave, naturally, it got darker. I was glad my Ranger brought this Pokémon. Chandelure was a walking candle, perfect for this situation. I was planning on getting a Litwick soon, but I wasn’t sure when that would be, or how I would get one of those Pokémon. We kept walking when a little Pokémon stuck its head up at us. It was a Swinub.

"Care to battle this Swinub, Leo?" He asked me.

“No, not right now.” I said, as I pulled out a Pokedoll. Then, I stopped. I wasn’t totally sure that I would be seeing a Cryonogal today. The park had several rules, one of them being that you could only take out three Pokémon per run. I already had Delibird and Sneasel, two of which I was definitely taking out of here. Swinub would be good as well if I didn’t end up finding Cryonogal, and if I did find Cryonogal, then I could just drop Swinub. Either way, it would be good for me. “On second thought, I will battle this Swinub. Can’t hurt I guess.” I moved closer to the small Pig Pokemon, he was covered in dense, brown-colored, striped hair. That hair obviously kept them warm. His eyes were closed, or so they looked, and he didn’t appear to have any legs, but I knew they were hidden under all that fur. I quickly pulled out my Pokedex and did a quick scan of the little guy.

Swinub – the Pig Pokémon. Swinub are naturally under one foot and weigh between ten to thirty pounds, depending on their surroundings. This Pokémon is a dual typed Pokémon, being both Ground type and Ice type. Swinub have the ability Snow Cloak or Oblivious. There are rare ones that even have Thick Fat, which isn’t surprising based on how they eat. If it smells something enticing with that nose it has, it dashes headlong off to find the source of the aroma. Its nose is so tough that even frozen ground poses no problem. It loves eating mushrooms that grow under dead grass. It also a good Pokémon to find hot springs while they forage.

“Well, this could be useful.” I said. I knew Skullcruncher wouldn’t like battling a Pokémon that he considered weaker than him. That and the fact that this cave was a bit too small for him to maneuver around didn’t make him a choice for me to use against this Swinub. Flamefeather would also be good, but I knew this little guy knew a bunch of Ground type moves, and I wasn’t quite sure if it knew Rock type moves. Either way, Flamefeather wouldn’t be a good choice either since we were in a cave and not outside. She’d have to constantly be looking for rocks falling and since the cave wasn’t too big, even though she was flying, she could probably still feel the vibrations and effects of an Earthquake attack since they could travel through the wall. I also didn’t want Shadow battling here just to prevent him from getting hurt by any Ground type attacks. If anyone could take them, it would be Mindbender, and it was her that I was going to use in this battle.

I tossed out a Pokéball out in front of me and a green and white, ball gown wearing Pokémon emerged. Her elegant dress swayed from side to side as she moved forward into the battlefield. She was strong in using Psychic type moves, but she also had other types of moves that made her extremely useful. She also knew an array of status inflicting moves. She had one for each status condition. Hypnosis for sleep, Thunder Wave for paralysis, Will-o-Wisp for burn, Toxic for poison and even the minor ones like Confuse Ray and Swagger for confusion and Attract for the love spell. She had it all.

“Alright Mindbender. We’re going to try and capture this Swinub. I want you to use a strong Energy Ball at the little guy, don’t hold back.” I called out to her. She turned and looked at me, a bit surprised.

“I don’t want to accidently knock him out.” She said telepathically.

“Yeah, I thought about that. Then I realized that if he couldn’t take that then he wasn’t very strong and I won’t need to capture him. I know that isn’t the way I usually do things, but I want to do this fast. I really want that Cryonogal.” I responded through the private mind link she had for us.

“Okay, understood. I won’t hold back then. Is that all I should use?”

“No, try a Will-o-Wisp as well. The lower we can get his health, the better. Also, the drop in his attack can’t hurt. So why not, use that. If Will-o-Wisp doesn’t work, then oh well. At least then we’ll get to see what he has and how strong he is. I would have you use one more attack, but I don’t want to over work you.”

“One more won’t over work me.” Mindbender said.

“Yeah, but I want you to focus on these two moves here first. Then we’ll see where we go from there.”

“Okay, here I go-,” she said as she began her attack. She began forming a small ball of green energy in between her hands. As she expanded her arms, the ball grew in size. I could see what appeared to be yellow electricity inside of the green ball. I knew this was a Grass type attack, but I wasn’t sure why it looked like an Electric type attack. Perhaps that was how a ball of energy looked. The energy ball grew to be the size of a basketball, and the power coming off of it was great. I wasn’t sure how fast Swinub was, but I felt that he couldn’t dodge it. Then again, I’ve been wrong before. She then launched the attack at the small dual typed Pokémon.

After that, three eerie looking ghastly orbs of fire circled around Mindbender as she carefully took aim at Swinub. She was going to launch the three orbs of fire at him. The spheres of fire were bluish white, indicating that they were extremely hot, which is how they caused the burn status if hit. This would be pretty good for us if it landed health wise. I wasn’t sure if there was any positive way of identifying a male from a female, but I felt that this was a male Swinub. Maybe it was because it had a smaller nose or the way it looked, but I had a feeling this was a male Swinub. I didn’t see anything on this in the Discovery Channel program I had been watching, so I could only guess at the moment. If and when I captured this Pokémon, I’d find out what gender it was. I wanted this battle to go fast, but it was always hard to do that. I knew it wasn’t good to rush because mistakes could be made, but I was doing it anyways. If it came back to bite me in the ass, then oh well.​

 

OOC: I let it hit cause your post was good, and the last two times you went for capture attempts that failed, it was a 96 and 98 rolled so

IC: “No, not right now,” Leo said, as he pulled a Pokedoll out, but before he handed it over so we could escape, he seemed to think things over. He was probably thinking about how you could only leave the park with three Pokemon. Taking that into account with the fact that he already captured two other Pokemon, and that he might not even run into the Cryonogal that he wanted. Thinking this over he seemed to have a change of heart and said, “on second thought, I will battle this Swinub. Can’t hurt I guess.” This was the best way of looking at things. While Leo could only leave the park with three Pokemon, there was no rule that said he was forced to leave once he captured three, so he could capture something else later on if he wanted, and ditch one of the Pokemon he would have already caught.

“Well, this could be useful,” Leo said, after looking up Swinub's Pokedex entry. He then seemed to go into a state of thought, most likely to decide which of his Pokemon he'd use. Volcarona, and Hydreigon already battled, and Houndoom would be weak to Swinub's Ground-type attacks. Then again Leo used Hydreigon vs Sneasel, and Hydreigon was weak against its Ice-type moves, so it did make me wonder. He decided on his Pokemon, it was his Gardevoir. Although it was technically the female counterpart of Gallade, there was such a thing as a male Gardevoir, but no such thing as a female Gallade, weird I know. Gallade and Gardevoir were like two sides of the same coin, while both shared Speed, Special Defense, and regular Defense, Gallade was better known for Physical attacks, while Gardevoir was known for Special attacks. This being known, it made me wonder what Leo would do here.

“Alright Mindbender. We’re going to try and capture this Swinub. I want you to use a strong Energy Ball at the little guy, don’t hold back,” Leo commanded Gardevoir. Gardevoir looked back at Leo, and they seemed to just stare at each other. If I had to guess they were probably telepathically communicating, it was a trait that many Psychic, as well as some Ghost and Dark, types shared. After a few moments it seemed like Gardevoir was in agreement with Leo, and started to form the attack. Gardevoir started to form the green ball of energy in front of its face. This was a ball generally created from nature, but being in a cave you didn't see a lot of that here. Within the ball was a small yellow orb, while I didn't exactly know what that orb was, I did have to guess that it was what had the ability to drop the Special Defense of the Pokemon it hits. Gardevoir fired the attack at Swinub, who willingly just stood there and took it head on. Its force knocked the little pig Pokemon back a few feet, and caused it to squeal.

That wasn't all though, Gardevoir began to form another attack, one that I didn't even hear Leo command Gardevoir to do, he must have done it mentally. In front of Gardevoir's body she created a few bluish-white flame balls. The attack was Will-o-Wisp, and granted while it was a Fire-type move, a type that Swinub was weak to, it wasn't one that caused damage, but rather a move that automatically inflicted a burn on the Pokemon it would hit. Burn was a very useful status to inflict, the Pokemon feeling the effects of burn would not only lose health, but their attack would also be cut in half. While I doubt Leo was actually aiming to halve Swinub's attack, it didn't hurt to have it there. She fired the move at Swinub, who had just been getting back to an upright position. The balls surrounded Swinub, and started to circle around it, until eventually they all collided with its body. Swinub then turned red in color, this meant the attack worked and Swinub was now burned.

This clearly angered Swinub though, who in retaliation fired off an attack that could end up costing us all dearly. It stomped against the ground, causing it to vibrate tremendously. Swinub was using Earthquake, a move that felt just like a real earthquake. The ground shook, and it would cause damage to any Pokemon in the area. The attack caused Gardevoir to fall backwards, and smack its head against the ground, though thankfully the thing I worried the most about didn't occur. I was afraid that being in a cave with Earthquake happening would cause rocks to fall off from the sides of the cave, but I guess due to the drop in Swinub's attack it wasn't powerful enough to cause collateral damage. Still though, he did make Gardevoir suffer a nasty bump, but he didn't go unpunished. After using the move flames rose up from under Swinub, and caused it to once again squeal in pain; it felt damage from the burn that was inflicted on it. The battle only started, but Leo already put a major dent in Swinub, and that was good news for him.

Swinub retaliated with an Earthquake attack. Since burn hit, I didn’t have to worry about that particular attack doing much damage. Then again, Mindbender had taken Earthquakes from much stronger Pokémon like Rhyperior and it hadn’t done much damage. Her defense was pretty good, but it wasn’t as good as her Special Defense. Her Special Defense and Special Attack, like most Psychic Pokémon, were pretty high. I loved using her in all sorts of battles because she could defend herself from all kinds of Pokémon.

I didn’t want her using Energy Ball again, because I wasn’t particularly sure that Swinub could handle another one… at least not with the burn it had. I wasn’t a person to risk something like that anyways. I was going to have her use her Hidden Power attack. Every Pokémon had a different Hidden Power attack which varied from the seventeen element types. Mindbender’s happened to be Fire, which was extremely useful to me. Since her Defense was low, she had a hard time battling Scizor before we found out her Hidden Power, and now, she can take them easily without much problem.

“Now, Mindbender, use Hidden Power. Try not to use too much power. I don’t know how much he could take. It is better to be safe than sorry.” I called out to her. I didn’t want her to overdo it. I then pulled out a Hyperball and aimed it at the Swinub. I know I didn’t have much luck before with capturing a Pokémon early, but I couldn’t help trying to catch Pokémon fast, especially since I could run into a Cryonogal. I wasn’t sure that a Hyperball was necessary, I had weaker Pokéballs like Parkballs and Superballs, but I almost never used them. I always liked using the strongest balls there were, made capturing a whole lot easier. I was thinking whether or not I should use a fragrance on this little guy, but then went against it. He already looked pretty calm, even with the burn, I didn’t see a point in using one. Plus, I was beginning to think that I would try and capture Cryonogal the hard way instead of the easy way. Using a Masterball on it would be easy, but I always did enjoy battling. If I did find on then I would try and battle it. Might take more energy than I wanted to dish out, but in the end, it is what I actually wanted.

Mindbender began creating small orbs of fire around her body, similar to the ones from Will-o-Wisp, except less hot and a bit smaller. Instead of being blue, they were bright orange. They levitated around her. She then lifted her right arm with a closed fist. She opened her hand and jerked it forward, sending the balls of fire going towards Swinub one by one. When she shot them like this, her attack wasn’t very accurate, but perhaps that was a good thing. As soon as I saw that, I launched my Hyperball at the little guy.

 

Leo was happy at how Gardevoir handled itself. She managed to do some serious damage to Swinub, and inflict burn on it, which meant that Swinub would much easier to capture. Still though, Swinub wasn't exactly weak enough to be captured just yet, Leo would still need to do a little more damage first. The question here though was what should Leo command Garedvoir to do? He obviously didn't want Gardevoir to do something too powerful, otherwise he'd have just been wasting his time with that first series of moves that he had it use on Swinub. I'm sure Leo had something in mind though.

“Now, Mindbender, use Hidden Power. Try not to use too much power. I don’t know how much he could take. It is better to be safe than sorry,” Leo commanded Gardevoir. Hidden Power was a unique attack. All Pokemon had a different Hidden Power, by that I mean a different persons Gardevoir could easily have a different Hidden Power than Leo's had. Hidden Power was one of sixteen different types, any but the Normal-type. The move generally always looked the same, but if you looked close enough at the orbs you could see small traces of what the type was, like if it was Water you could see small traces of Water in it. I didn't know what Gardevoir's Hidden Power was, but I knew it had to have been something that was good to use against Swinub.

Gardevoir started to gather various small balls of energy from thin air, and within a few moments all the energy went to her body and formed one bigger ball. Gardevoir released the ball of energy, which once again broke into small various balls, only this time of a different color. As they headed towards Swinub though it mounted one last offensive move. It shot out several shards of ice from its mouth, it was the same move Sneasel used before, Ice Shard. The shards hit Gardevoir, as the energy from Hidden Power hit Swinub. Swinub fell back several feet in pain, this meant that whatever Gardevoir's Hidden Power type was it was very effective against Swinub.

Leo wasted no time, he pulled out an unused Hyper Ball, and threw it at Swinub. The little pig Pokemon was sucked in, and the ball landed on the ground. There wasn't much of a struggle though, and Swinub had been captured. "Good for you Leo, that's your third capture," I said as I picked up Swinub's ball. "Now I know you want a Cryogonal, but you have already captured three Pokemon, and as you know Cryogonal is rare, so what would you like to do next?" I asked.

"Good for you Leo, that's your third capture," John said as he picked up Swinub's ball. "Now I know you want a Cryogonal, but you have already captured three Pokemon, and as you know Cryogonal is rare, so what would you like to do next?" That was a no brainer for me. I knew I didn't want to leave here without Cryonogal. I was going to keep searching until either I found one, or it was time for me to go. Either way, this was only the beginning. I still had plenty of time left.

"Great job Mindbender. You did awesome!" I said to her as soon as I saw the Pokeball laying motionless on the ground. I'll keep on searching of course!" I said happily. "I still got plenty of time to try and find one, and if not, at least I already have three Pokemon so it won't be a total loss." I pulled out Mindbender's Pokeball and placed her back inside. "Now, since they are rare, shall we go further in? Or did you have some other place in mind?"

 

"Great job Mindbender. You did awesome! I'll keep on searching of course! I still got plenty of time to try and find one, and if not, at least I already have three Pokemon so it won't be a total loss. Now, since they are rare, shall we go further in? Or did you have some other place in mind?" Leo said to me. I couldn't blame him for wanting to keep going, I mean he did have his heart set on a Cryogonal so there was no harm in looking for one still.

"Let's just keep going further in, if one is bound to show up it would probably be in a cave anyway," I said to Leo. Cryogonal were indeed rare, and they seemed like cave dwelling Pokemon to me, so the best chance we had was to explore some more caves first. I started leading Leo down further into the cave system. It started to get less roomy, as well as darker as we headed deeper in. Chandelure was lighting the way perfectly, but my concern here was if we had faced Swinub in an area like this, and it decided to use Earthquake here it could have easily caused rocks to come crashing down, and trap us in. I couldn't worry about something like that now though, Swinub was gone, well captured, and all I needed to focus on was keeping my eyes opened for any Pokemon that might come our way.

We kept walking, and for a while there we hadn't been running into anything, until I saw from the corner of my eye that Chandelure's flame exposed a Pokemon. I could have sworn it was already something we had seen today, but I was wrong, it was just a similar looking Pokemon, because it evolved from something we saw. Like the Pokemon from before it too was an ice cream cone, though rather than having the flat waffle cone body of its previous evolution, this Pokemon has the longer sugar cone shape for its body. Also on its upper body, the part that looked like a scoop of ice cream was larger than its previous evolutions, and had a swirl on top that seemed to be shaped differently. Other than that though it looked essentially the same as its prior evolution.

"Well Leo, I know you didn't want that Vanillite from before, so I don't think you want this Vanillish, but I need to ask anyway."

"Great job Mindbender. You did awesome! I'll keep on searching of course! I still got plenty of time to try and find one, and if not, at least I already have three Pokemon so it won't be a total loss. Now, since they are rare, shall we go further in? Or did you have some other place in mind?" Leo said to me. I couldn't blame him for wanting to keep going, I mean he did have his heart set on a Cryogonal so there was no harm in looking for one still.

"Let's just keep going further in, if one is bound to show up it would probably be in a cave anyway," I said to Leo. Cryogonal were indeed rare, and they seemed like cave dwelling Pokemon to me, so the best chance we had was to explore some more caves first. I started leading Leo down further into the cave system. It started to get less roomy, as well as darker as we headed deeper in. Chandelure was lighting the way perfectly, but my concern here was if we had faced Swinub in an area like this, and it decided to use Earthquake here it could have easily caused rocks to come crashing down, and trap us in. I couldn't worry about something like that now though, Swinub was gone, well captured, and all I needed to focus on was keeping my eyes opened for any Pokemon that might come our way.

As we walked further in, I kept my eyes peeled for any movements. I didn't want to miss my chance because I didn't see the Cryonogal hiding somewhere. I hadn't really seen one in real like before, I'd only seen it in movies and such, I wasn't sure what to expect when I did come across one, if I did. When I saw a movement in front of us, I immediately thought it was Cryonogal, but instead it was a Vanillish.

"Well Leo, I know you didn't want that Vanillite from before, so I don't think you want this Vanillish, but I need to ask anyway."

"I could go for some ice cream right now, but no, still not interested in capturing this." I said to him. Actually, I wasn't interested in capturing anything else other than Cryonogal. I had already captured the three Pokemon that I wanted in case one didn't show up. I was all set. "I guess let's keep going further in. I'll use a Pokedoll in case we can't get passed this guy."

 

"I could go for some ice cream right now, but no, still not interested in capturing this. I guess let's keep going further in. I'll use a Pokedoll in case we can't get passed this guy," Leo said as he pulled out a Pokedoll. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that though, and so I was going to let Leo hold onto the Pokedoll unless it looked like it was absolutely necessary to use it. We started walking towards Vanillish, and the ice cream Pokemon just smiled, and allowed us to pass with no trouble whatsoever. And with that we were off once more, and Vanillish could go back to fooling people into thinking it was ice cream.

We continued walking down the path, and it started to get a little wider, but the real problem occurred as we got a little further in. A choice was presented before us, we could have either kept going the way we did, or we could have gone into route to the left. The one to the left appeared to be a cave, and I knew Leo would want to go into any caves, hoping that one had a Cryogonal in it. I decided to lead him into the cave, this whole mountain was more or less just one big connecting cave inside anyway, so even if we took this path we would probably end up on the path we had already been taking anyway.

I lead Leo into the cave, and it wasn't too long before I heard something in the difference. "Let's go check out that noise," I said. This cave was lighter than the other ones had been, though I didn't know why. Maybe the end of this cave lead back to the outside, or perhaps there was some sort of mineral, or something in here whose shine made a natural light. The deeper we went in, the louder the noise got, and it wasn't long now before I saw the one causing the noise. It was a Pokemon ramming its head against one of the cave walls. It was small blue Pokemon, with a head as hard as steel. Its ears, as well as jaw, were yellow. Its underside was also yellow, and the yellow part formed a triangle shape. Its head was gray, with three ridges going down its back.

"Hey look, its a Bagon. Wonder why its ramming its head against the wall though."

"Let's go check out that noise," My Ranger said. I stopped to listen, then I heard the noise as well. I was about to say no thanks, because I knew whatever was making that noise couldn't be Cryonogal, but I just shrugged and began moving towards the noise.

"Hey look, its a Bagon. Wonder why its ramming its head against the wall though." He said when we finally arrived. I saw the little guy ramming his head against the wall and had an idea as to why.

"He's probably trying to find his way out of here." I said, remembering that these Pokemon did like caves, but they liked being out in the open where they can try flying. That was their dream, to fly. All they had to do though, was evolve into Salamence when the time was right. "The exit is that way little guy." I said, pointing behind me. I pulled out a Pokedoll incase he wanted to battle instead of leave.

 

"He's probably trying to find his way out of here. The exit is that way little guy," Leo said to Bagon, as he pointed behind us. Leo asked to move on, and pulled out a Pokedoll just in case. We tried leaving, but Bagon made it a point to growl at us, and get in our way. If I'd had to guess I'd say Leo disturbed the Bagon, and it wasn't too fond of being told where to go. I already knew Leo didn't want to battle this Bagon though, so I took the Pokedoll from him, and threw it at Bagon who caught the doll by its head with its mouth. This Bagon was certainly a vicious one, and would have made a good Salamence. It was too late now though, Leo passed on this Bagon, so we once again headed off.

We took a right, and headed down another path. Cryogonal seemed like secluded Pokemon to me, so if we were bound to find out it had to have been in a place like this. We headed a bit further down, though we didn't get too far until I heard a roar coming from behind us. Something had followed us into here, and it wanted us to know. The Pokemon came into the light produced by Chandelure's flames. It was a mainly blue dragon, with red wings. Although it was mostly blue, you could actually see spots of red, or gray pretty easily. It had a very long tail, perfect for using the move Dragon Tail, and it made sense seeing as how it was a Dragon-type Pokemon.

"I doubt you want to face this Salamence, Leo," I said. It was rather odd that we ran into a Bagon, and then into a Salamence, though like I said to myself sooner, Bagon didn't seem to be happy with Leo, so perhaps this Salamence was related to Bagon, and Bagon sent it our way. I wasn't exactly sure, but I knew one thing, if Leo had to battle this Salamence it wouldn't have been easy.

Bagon didn't seem to happy about me telling it which direction to head. I was only trying to help and this is the thanks I get. He reminded me of Rex. Rex didn't like people telling him what to do, even if they were just helping him. My Ranger took the Pokedoll and tossed it towards Bagon. I sighed and shook my head as it took off. We walked further into the cave, only to find that a Salamence, the fully evolved form of Bagon, and possibly a relative of the Bagon we had just encountered had been following us. I wasn't too interested in capturing one of these Pokemon, but I was interested in battling it. However, I already had a Salamence, so it would be a waste for me since I didn't want another one right now.

"I doubt you want to face this Salamence, Leo," He asked me.

"No, I already have a Salamence, which is why I didn't go for Bagon. I'll just take a picture of this giant beast." I said, pulling out my camera and snapping a photo of it. "Hopefully it won't be too mad about having its picture taken. "Shall we move on?"

 

"No, I already have a Salamence, which is why I didn't go for Bagon. I'll just take a picture of this giant beast. Hopefully it won't be too mad about having its picture taken. Shall we move on?" Leo asked. The flash from the picture being taken seemed to temporarily blind Salamence, giving us as good a chance as any to escape. "Let's go," I said to Leo as I lead him back down the path we were originally on, only difference is this time I don't believe that Salamence would be trying to give us any trouble.

We walked along the way, and I made sure to glance in any open area I saw to see if a Cryogonal was lurking around, I didn't see one, and I was becoming less hopeful that Leo might encounter one, I don't know if he felt the same though. I lead Leo into what was like a main hallway in the cave, from it three different paths appeared. "Which way would you like to go?" I asked, but before Leo actually had a chance to answer another challenge presented itself.

Well, I wanted to say challenge, but it wasn't exactly the most ferocious Pokemon out there. It was a little baby Pokemon. It had pink skin, a big head, big eyes, and big lips. It was also sporting blonde hair. Though her chest, arms, and feet were actually lightly colored, so it made look like she was either wearing a pair of pants, or perhaps a sweater even. It was a dual Ice/Psychic type Pokemon, one whose evolved form is far from the best, but could be deadly in the right hands.

"Any interest in this Smoochum, Leo? It is kind of cute."

"Which way would you like to go?" Chris asked me, but before I could answer, a small baby Pokemon with pink skin, a big head, big eyes, and big lips appeared. "Any interest in this Smoochum, Leo? It is kind of cute."

"No thanks." I said, making a face. I was never too fond of Smoochum, in my opinion they were anything but cute, far from it. I didn't want anything to do with one right now. I wasn't sure why, but I just didn't like them, no matter how 'cute' they are. I held onto a doll incase the little brat didn't want to let us pass. There was no way it was stopping me here and making me battle. I wasn't in the mood to battle it or spend any more time here with it. "Shall we take the path on the right?" I asked him.

I was running out of time, but I didn't feel lost hope yet. Yeah, I sort of wanted to give up and just come back again another time, but something told me I should keep going. I felt that I had to listen to it, and part of me wanted to anyways. One way or another, I was getting me that Cryogonal. If not today, then sometime soon in the future.

 

"No thanks. Shall we take the path on the right?" Leo asked. He didn't seem too fond of this Smoochum, and even though he wanted to run, he pulled out a Pokedoll just in case. I attempted to make an escape with Leo, but Smoochum stopped us in our tracks. I could tell Leo wanted to kick it, but I didn't feel like getting the cops in here to arrest him, maybe if I turned my head and didn't see it......nah, I just took the doll from Leo and threw it at Smoochum. Smoochum happily took the doll, and went on its way. "So you said to the right, correct?" I asked Leo, who nodded. With that we were once again off.

We went down the path to the right like Leo wanted, and it wasn't different than the others. It was dark, and kind of tight fitting, though open enough that Leo, his Houndoom, Chandelure, as well as myself, could all fit down here, and walk with some elbow space. If I had to guess, I'd say a Cryogonal wouldn't be in this path, because they are rather wide Pokemon, and they probably wanted a decent amount of space to move. Going down this path I doubted we would find much of anything, but it turns out that I was wrong. A Pokemon had been here on this path, now I didn't know if it was actually waiting for us, or if this was just a twist of fate, but I did know that this wasn't something Leo would be happy to see, he hardly wanted it last time.

"Well, it's another Swinub, Leo."
