Individual RP: Buoysel

Floatzel got back into position, and waited for its next command. I had to wonder what Clara was going to command it to do next, she had just had Floatzel do an effective three move combo, and I wouldn't think that she would tell her Floatzel to a move that it only just did, since Chansey would be ready for it, but who know, different people do battle differently. I had to wonder what Chansey would do too though, it was still feeling the effects of Taunt, and it wasn't exactly known for attacking, as much as it was for defense, so it certainly made things more interesting.

"Good job, Assan! Really well done. Now, I want you to attempt a combination. What we're going to be doing is using Aqua Jet to start off - go high into the air with the Aqua Jet, and then come down quickly on her, using a Brick Break attack in combination with the Aqua Jet, so it'll almost be like a double impact kind of thing. Let's go!" Clara commanded her Floatzel, and then let out a sigh.

I thought it was strange that Clara would instantly be going back to Brick Break so soon, but then again her Floatzel didn't have the widest movepool, and she probably wanted to try to weaken Chansey as quickly as she possibly could. Chansey would have no doubt been ready for it this time, but, perhaps by combining it with an Aqua Jet it could end up working in Clara's favor. I was curious to see how Chansey would respond to this, it had to know, based on Drain Punch, that it's Physical attacks wouldn't be all that powerful against Floatzel, and now Floatzel was going to be striking Chansey fast, and powerfully, so it really made me wonder.

Break Break would probably look the same as it did before, but Aqua Jet was a unique attack. For starters its a move that has an increased priority, so its almost always guaranteed to strike first. The user would end up surrounding their whole body with a coat of water, and then go at the opposing Pokemon so fast, that it would almost be invisible, though strangely enough you could easily see the water, but it did make it perfect for a combo, because Chansey wouldn't be able to see what arm would be using Brick Break. Either way you looked at things though Chansey was going to need to think quickly.

Floatzel got ready, let out a cry, and then formed the water all around its body. It lunged itself at Chansey, with its right arm ready to strike with Brick Break at the first instant it saw an opening, but Chansey was trying to get itself ready. In front of its body it formed a small sphere of electricity, though before it could really expand on this a lot, Floatzel was already there due to the speed of Aqua Jet. Aqua Jet itself hit Chansey's midsection, but Brick Break was going to come crashing down on Chansey's head. Before Floatzel could fully execute the attack though, Chansey felt that it was enough. She finished making the attack that she was making, and used it to fling Floatzel off of itself before Brick Break was able to do a whole lot. What Chansey had used was Thunderbolt, a pretty powerful attack in the case of some Pokemon, and against a Water-type like Floatzel it was even worse. Add on the fact that Floatzel was using a Water-type move at the time, and well we all know that water attracts electricity so.

Floatzel was sent flying back a few feet, and it tried to shake the attack off. This was a little harder to do, than trying to shake the earlier Drain Punch off, but at least thankfully for the little guy Thunderbolt didn't paralyze it, so that was some good news, plus it wasn't like it didn't do some decent damage to Chansey before being hit, because you could see now it was having a bit more trouble trying to catch its breath. Clara would need to be cautious though, Taunt would soon wear off of Chansey, and if it used a move like Softboiled, well she'd be back at square one all over again.

Assan the Floatzel took his fighting stance in front of Clara once more, and once Clara had dealt enough damage, she knew that she had to inflict a status to get a better rate of capture - the problem was, Assan didn't have any status-inflicting moves available. Except Ice Fang, but the problem with that was that it was untrustworthy, as Clara knew from previous experiences that it only had around a thirty percent chance of inflicting any kind of status on Chansey, and to be honest, that wasn't reliable enough at this stage. It seemed that the best way to go was to deal as much damage as possible, and then she could perhaps switch Assan for another Pokémon in order to inflict status problems, and then after that she could throw her ball - she hadn't decided on a Super Ball or a Hyper Ball yet, but she supposed that the creature was fairly rare, so a Hyper Ball could have been the appropriate thing to use. However, as I, Buoysel, instated earlier, Clara had not decided yet, which means that I, Buoysel, have personally not decided yet. Clara sighed, watching and waiting for Assan to begin.

Although going back to Brick Break wasn't really the best idea in the book, it was the best she could come up with, especially for the new strategy of trying to cause a lot of damage to Chansey before inflicting a status problem or throwing a ball, at the very least. She wondered if that had confused Eric - looking over to him, she couldn't tell anything much by his facial expression. Perhaps it had - then again, perhaps it hadn't. In any case, she was still waiting for Assan to start. It seemed he was judging what he was doing, which was certainly a first. He didn't often plan things, he just went straightforward with it - and that was partly what worried Clara about her new plan. If Assan didn't take the time to do exactly as she said, Chansey could end up being somewhat prepared for his attacks and attack back - perhaps dangerously. It certainly seemed that, now that the effects of Taunt were starting to wear out, she was gaining some more of her sense. Perhaps now she'd start relying more on her special attacks, and Clara couldn't let Assan get damaged too much, nor could she let Taunt wear off, or it was game over.

In a sense, it was all very real now, and Clara knew that she had to keep on her toes for the inevitable moment when Chansey would break from her Taunt. Perhaps another Taunt straight afterwards would incapacitate her further, but usually, Taunt didn't work twice on any Pokémon, so that would have to be used as a last resort. However, she had a plan to at least stop the Chansey from utilising Softboiled, in which case they would be back to damaging her all over again, and Clara simply knew that she wouldn't have the effort - Chansey could heal any amount of damage sustained in a very short time, and Assan didn't have the power to continue pounding at her repeatedly, especially if she was mixing in special attacks - Assan's special defence was quite low indeed, so he couldn't exactly afford repetitive attacks used against him from a special attacker. In any case, Clara's battle was quickly turning into something quite serious indeed, and she needed to keep aware of what was going on constantly, lest something come of her inattention.

Finally, Assan was off. He had shut his eyes for a few moments, water being expelled from his fur and forming a cocoon around his body, and he shot into the air - however, he came straight back down almost immediately and shot full-throttle directly at the Chansey, which was a bad idea. It seemed that Chansey wasn't being useless, either - she had began charging up some kind of yellow, electrical attack, which pulsed in a gap between the ends of her stubby pink arms. She was such a girly Pokémon. Clara didn't like things that were overly girly at all, but she was searching for cute things that were slightly girly, and Chansey met the criteria, going only a little bit over the top. Maybe, she didn't know. At any rate, Chansey was a strong wall and a good addition to any team if they used her correctly, but right now Clara was focusing on the present, instead of looking into the future with a Chansey if she had captured one. She sighed quietly, hoping that Assan wouldn't get hit by whatever Electric-type attack Chansey was charging, especially if it was a special attack. Combine two weaknesses together and you get a bad result for the receptor of the attack.

There were a few advantages to Assan's usage of Aqua Jet - the first, he'd be moving extremely fast. The second was that Chansey wouldn't be able to properly see which paw he'd be using for Brick Break, so an indecisive movement towards blocking Assan's attack could be foiled by Aqua Jet's wavy appearance, distorting the glow of either of his paws. Clara was counting on this to be able to get the attack executed, but she had a sick feeling in her stomach that perhaps things wouldn't turn out as planned, especially with Assan taking the less surprising approach towards the battle - she had strictly told him to go up in the air and come down upon the Chansey, who wouldn't have been able to block or counter him fully if he came down from the air. However, Assan clearly hadn't listened, and so he was simply flying towards Chansey. Crashing into her in a flurry of water, Clara watched as the ovular, pink Pokémon spluttered as water splashed down her throat, but the ripple of electricity was still quite strong. Assan went to slam his glowing white paw down on her, but he hadn't fully executed it before Chansey released her attack.

Chansey released her Thunderbolt in all its glory, it zapping Assan - Damn it, Clara thought. Water attracts electricity. Assan was sent flying back a few feet through the air, and crashed to the ground a few feet off of where he originally stood. Aurelia looked concernedly at the Floatzel, but it seemed that Assan was okay. Standing up, he attempted to shake off the damage, and Clara couldn't help but laugh a little bit. He had just been zapped by a bolt of lightning, and he was trying to shake off the damage? Quite typical of him, really, but she supposed that was the way he was. Sighing after her giggles had left her, she glanced towards Assan, and ushered him back to his original spot. The Chansey looked like it was coming towards the end of her Taunt, and Clara had to make sure that the Chansey didn't get her way and use Softboiled - and also, if she used something like Thunder Wave on Assan... she'd just concentrate on her damaging approach, and then switch in Amarantha or Aurelia to finish the Chansey off with a Status move.

"Okay, Assan, I know that Chansey's Taunt will be wearing off soon, but do not be afraid. If she snaps out, do your best to avoid any status moves that she throws at you - trust me, there could possibly be a lot coming your way. In any case, on top of avoiding those moves, I'd like it if you tried Whirlpool. Build it up like I taught you - above your head, then when it's big enough, you can trap the Chansey. Afterwards, Aqua Tail. We'll see how it pans out after that."

 

Clara could see that the battle was starting to wind down, and that it would only be a matter of time before she could attempt to capture Chansey. The real question though is that, with Chansey being able to take hits the way it can, what will Clara do next? SURELY she wouldn't dare try Brick Break for a third time in a row, because this time Chansey would have probably been super ready for it, and done something like use Counter to send Floatzel flying into Mount Deckbi, or something. I'm sure she knew constantly repeating moves though wouldn't have been the best thing to do.

"Okay, Assan, I know that Chansey's Taunt will be wearing off soon, but do not be afraid. If she snaps out, do your best to avoid any status moves that she throws at you - trust me, there could possibly be a lot coming your way. In any case, on top of avoiding those moves, I'd like it if you tried Whirlpool. Build it up like I taught you - above your head, then when it's big enough, you can trap the Chansey. Afterwards, Aqua Tail. We'll see how it pans out after that," Clara commanded her Floatzel. At least she was smart enough to not have use Brick Break again. This was a pretty cleaver combo; use Whirlpool to trap Chansey, then slap it with an Aqua Tail. I just hope for its sake, Chansey wouldn't drown underneath all that water. Yes it seems impossible, I know, but anything could happen, you never really know.

Floatzel picked its head up, and looked directly at the sky. From its mouth it released a blast of water right in the air, as if it was a water spout. The water started to circle around itself creating a sort of tornado, or vortex of water in midair. The opening from the top looked like it was big enough to easily accommodate Chansey, and trap it inside. This would have been good for Floatzel, because it could use the Whirlpool to its advantage when it used Aqua Tail to boost its strength.

Floatzel fired the attack at Chansey, but whether it hit or not, well that wouldn't be the end of things anyway. The instant after Floatzel fired off its attack, it readied its next move. Aqua Tail was a move learnable by Pokemon who had tails. The attack would turn the users tail into water, and it would smack the opposing Pokemon as if it was hit by a powerful wave. While it made sense how Water-type Pokemon can use this attack, it was a bit confusing as to how non Water-types could. Water-type Pokemon always had a reserve of water in their body, but hey this was just one of those many mysteries that will never be known, or explained.

Floatzel turned its tail into water, but before Whirlpool even hit Chansey it was busy planning itself a counterattack. It was making little patches of grass come up from the ground in knot form. Chansey was hoping to trip Floatzel up, and stop it from hitting Chansey. Whirlpool hit Chansey, and Chansey was trapped inside, with no where to run from the next attack. Floatzel saw the grass sticking up, and avoided each patch. It then took its tail, and smacked the Whirlpool, breaking it open, hitting Chansey with its tail, and causing the rest of the Whirlpool to crash on Chansey. Floatzel looked happy with its work, but unfortunately for that when it came back to the ground, and took a step, it tripped on one of the Grass Knots, and crashed face first right into the ground. Luckily for Floatzel it was something it could just shake off once it got up, though the same really couldn't be said about Chansey right now.

Assan stepped in front of Clara quickly, and looked up into the sky, raising his chin confidently. He knew he could do this - he was an extremely good, reliable Pokémon, and with that one confident look, Clara knew that she was the one that he could trust in this situation, and hopefully things would go to plan, nothing going awry, especially with Chansey's Taunt wearing off pretty soon. However, Assan was not to be afraid, which was kind of a stupid thing to say to him - he was more courageous than Clara herself, and that was saying a lot. Both of them together made a relatively good team, with Assan obeying Clara's commands like it was law, and also protecting her from anything that may threaten to hurt her, almost like a bodyguard. It was that loyalty and that power which had brought them both through this battle with the Chansey so far, and Clara was extremely glad that she had Assan to rely on - however, since at the moment he couldn't supply any status-inducing moves, she'd have to switch him out at the end so that she could cripple Chansey with a status move.

Clara, smiling at Assan's fearless approach, watched as he spun his creamy paws in a circle around his head, until the tip of a whirl of water began to be generated in the gap in between. The vortex swelled up in size, expanding outwards in a mass of bright blue liquid, the sun filtering through gently. Clara looked at the swirling vortex in awe, and knew how effective it would be against the Chansey that stood before the two of them. Clara didn't afraid of anything, so she was quickly awaiting the impact with the Chansey, and she'd be one step closer to capturing the elusive pink, specialist healer Pokémon. She hoped that she could get the battle done soon, as she was really keen to move on and to finish the run - not because she wasn't having fun, but because she couldn't wait to train new Pokémon that she had obtained from the Park. She wasn't going to come off as impatient, however. She'd wait for her Pokémon to lower down the health a little bit more, and then send in either Amarantha or Aurelia to finish it off with a status move.

Quickly, Assan flung his paws towards the Chansey, and the waterfall trapped her utterly - however, she had been preparing her own attack. The ends of her stubby arms glowing a green colour, roots began sprouting from the grass in order to try and trick Assan into falling over. It was an effective Grass Knot move, but Assan could see what was happening. His tail now becoming infused with water, he hopped neatly over the roots that popped up, until eventually he got an opportunity to leap high into the air, twisting skillfully and slashing through the Whirlpool, slamming Chansey's body with his tail and dispelling the Whirlpool - however, the vast amounts of water all crashed down, landing upon the Chansey without any difficulty and, of course, damaging her a little more. In his haste to get back, Assan tripped up on one of the roots, and Clara shook her head, pressing her hand to her face indignantly.

Assan hopped up once more, shaking off the damage quite easily - the same couldn't be said for Chansey. It was clear now that her condition had deteriorated a lot in the past few rounds of attacking, and it was clear that she didn't have much energy reserved. Clara hoped that she could get this over soonish. She thought that the prospect of training something like this was quite a unique opportunity, and she loved that it had presented itself to her like this, especially when she had been looking for a Happiny - she was quite disappointed she hadn't found a Happiny originally, as she found them extremely cute, but she knew that any Happiny would end up being the same way as Chansey would be, with a lot of love and care. Eventually, Chansey would become Blissey, and if Clara caught the Chansey, guiding one to becoming a magnificently helpful creature would be something great to do. Plus, it'd help her a lot in battles - Argent, to be honest, focused a little more on special attacks, so Blissey would block those occurrences in battle. However, Argent's Chimecho was a force to be reckoned with, even against something like a Blissey - Curse and Double-Edge was quite formidable, if used enough.

"Okay, Assan, that was a job well done! I know that you know that you don't have any status-inducing moves available to me at the moment, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to be switching you out for Amarantha, so we can finish the battle. Amarantha, go!" Clara thrust her arm out in front of her dramatically to fuel the fun, and Amarantha stepped out in front of Clara mildly, looking down at her feet and twisting them about. "Okay, Amarantha, to round this off, I'd like you to attempt a combination for me. It's just going to be a simple Energy Ball, but try to incorporate Sleep Powder to make Chansey fall asleep. At that stage, we can try to capture her."

Amarantha, to do what Clara had said, would produce an Energy Ball in between her leaf-like arms. When it would be fully charged, Amarantha would probably release powder from her leaf-like arms, pumping some into the sphere. As the sphere was released, it would produce a Sleep Powder as it moved through the air, and so it would be quite widespread and then even if Chansey wasn't hit with Energy Ball, the Sleep Powder would probably hit her to make her sleep.

[INSERT EBAIL'S BATTLE POST.]

Clara pulled out a Hyper Ball from her backpack, quickly flinging the sphere in the direction of the Blissey. It made a graceful arc towards the Egg Pokémon, and hopefully it would be captured - if not, she could always just try again.

 

Clara was just standing there, thinking what to do next. Chansey was probably hurt enough for a capture attempt, but for a rarer Pokemon like that, using a status move was usually a pretty good idea. Unfortunately for her though, Clara's Floatzel didn't know any status moves, so she would need to swap it out for something, namely Lilligant, in order to achieve this goal. Or maybe she'd just throw a ball at it and instantly attempt a capture, who knew.

"Okay, Assan, that was a job well done! I know that you know that you don't have any status-inducing moves available to me at the moment, so I'm sorry, but I'm going to be switching you out for Amarantha, so we can finish the battle. Amarantha, go!" Clara thrust her arm out in front of her dramatically to fuel the fun, and Amarantha stepped out in front of Clara mildly, looking down at her feet and twisting them about. "Okay, Amarantha, to round this off, I'd like you to attempt a combination for me. It's just going to be a simple Energy Ball, but try to incorporate Sleep Powder to make Chansey fall asleep. At that stage, we can try to capture her."

Well that solved that. Clara sent in her Lilligant to hit Chansey with an Energy Ball, but within that Energy Ball she wanted Lilligant to mix in some Sleep Powder. Had the Energy Ball hit Chansey, she'd have no idea what was going on, and before she could she'd be surrounded with powder, and asleep within a matter of moments. Well Clara was going to get her wish it seemed, Lilligant formed the green, grassy ball of energy, and within it you could see the Sleep Powder. It took aim, and fired its attack at Chansey. Energy Ball hit Chansey dead on, and upon impact it exploded around the poor girl, and released the Sleep Powder. Chansey collapsed to the ground, and was now asleep, if Clara was to act, now was the chance.

She pulled out a Hyper Ball, and threw it directly at Chansey. The ball collided with her, and sucked her in. And granted even though she was asleep, and injured, she still put up some sort of fight to escape, because it took a few shakes of the ball before Chansey was actually captured.

"Well congrats Clara, you captured a pretty rare Pokemon there," I said to Clara as I picked up the freshly caught Chansey's Hyper Ball, and added it to my pocket along with Miltank's. "Alright, lets just keep going, because I know you're a very impatient person," I said to Clara as I continued to lead her along. We started to keep going, but it was only a matter of moments before another Pokemon made its presence known to us. It was just a small little, rodent like Pokemon. It was a brown, and tan Pokemon. It had some weird eyes, it had black pupils, and then its eyes went from red, to yellow, to red in color. It had small hands, and feet, as well as skinny arms and legs. It had round cheeks, as well as a tail with white scruff at the end.

"Well, do you want to face this Patrat?"

Her Lilligant, Amarantha, stepped in front of her, smirking slightly at the Chansey although she had no mouth, as instated like five billion times. In any case, Amarantha wafted her leaves about, generating a gloopy-looking green sphere. Pumping some Sleep Powder into the ball, anyone could easily see it flopping around inside, and Clara was hoping that this would work. It was actually a semi-devious plan to be honest, and Clara was quite pleased that she had thought it up. Amarantha quickly released the sphere towards the Chansey, and it blasted towards the Egg Pokémon at quite a high speed - the poor Chansey was hit full-on by the orb, and as the orb smashed on impact, it released a flurry of the Sleep Powder that Amarantha had charged into it, and it quickly affected the Chansey for the worse or for the better, depending on how anyone would look at it. Clara smiled as the Chansey dropped to the ground, asleep and finally, most definitely open for capturing. Clara wanted to make sure that it was going to be easily captured, and she had definitely done a good job of doing just that in her opinion.

She quickly removed a Hyper Ball from her backpack, zipped it back up and aimed towards the Chansey. Stepping forwards as she flung her arm, she released the capturing sphere from her hand, and it flew inevitably towards the Chansey. Arcing slightly, it tapped her on the stomach and that activated the capture device on the Hyper Ball. Bouncing high into the air, the sphere opened and released a jet of red light, which dematerialised the Chansey on impact into that same red light, and it swallowed her up into the ball. The Hyper Ball closing up, it fell to the ground slowly, deliberately, until it made contact with the ground, at which point it started to roll on the spot. Clara could see that Chansey was still giving up some sort of a fight to escape, but it seemed that it wasn't going to work. A few tilts to the left and to the right, and the ball finally stilled itself. It seemed that the capture had worked, and Clara punched the air in triumph. She had so far collected two Pokémon that she had came for - well, Chansey instead of Happiny, really, but it still counted.

As Eric congratulated her, she nodded genuinely, but was a tiny bit annoyed at his remark of her being an impatient person. As it was quite truthful, though, she found that she didn't mind so much. Eric led her on to the next challenge, although it took quite a walk to get there. They encountered a small creature which Clara had never actually seen before, because she had never actually been to Unova herself - it was one of the places she actually wanted to go, however. She might find it fun over in Unova, most certainly in a place like Castelia City. It was quite like Olivine in the way it was right beside the sea, but Castelia was much larger and had a lot more facilities, which made it appealing to the young woman.

"Well, do you want to face this Patrat?"

What the hell is a... Patrat? Clara thought, not liking the look of this creepy Pokémon at all. Out loud, she said, "Well, Eric, it certainly seems interesting, but I'm afraid I don't want to capture this Raftpat. I'll buy another Pokédoll."

After handing over the money, she decided to try again with her Kangaskhan Disk for no reason in particular. Pressing the 'Play' button on her Poképlayer, she listened to the synthetic Kangaskhan's cry, before nodding towards Eric, who'd likely produce another Pokédoll quite soon.

OOC; 2k - 0.5k = 1.5k.

 

"Well, Eric, it certainly seems interesting, but I'm afraid I don't want to capture this Raftpat. I'll buy another Pokédoll," Clara said to me, rather than trying to escape. I couldn't blame her for wanting to do the surefire escape, over risking not being able to get passed it. As I got the Pokedoll ready, she pressed play on her Pokeplayer with the Kangaskhan Voice Disk in it again, hoping we would run into one next. As she did that I threw the Pokedoll at Patrat, who sniffed the doll, and happily ran off with it.

"Lets keep going now, if we're going to run into a Kangaskhan we'll soon find out," I said to Clara as I started leading her along. This was the second time she used her Voice Disk, so if it didn't work right now she would still have three other attempts at using it to lure a Kangaskhan out. We walked for a little bit, before we encountered a set of maybe six or so trees altogether. Though something was sticking out from behind one of them. I ran behind the tree, and what I saw was an unusual Pokemon to say the least. It was mainly blue in color, though red, yellow, and black could be seen on various spots of its body. It had a long tail, and what resembled wings on its body. The way its eyes were looked rather weird, and I couldn't even begin to say what was on its long neck, but it was odd.

"Do you wish to face this Armaldo Clara? They are pretty rare to find in the wild."

As expected, Eric had produced another Pokédoll, similar to what she would have wanted, and then flung it towards the Patrat or whatever it was called. Clara had absolutely no liking for them, she knew it straight away, and so that was why she had ordered the Pokédoll to be thrown at the small rodent-like creature. Clara hoped that they'd come across something more interesting soon enough, but it really seemed that nothing interesting was coming up - nothing she would have liked, anyway. Miltank and Chansey were the only ones she had caught so far, and it looked like the Voice Disk wasn't actually attracting any Kangaskhan to her, but she wasn't entirely put off. Having played it only a second time, she still had three opportunities left, but if the fifth time failed, then she'd just have to make do with whatever she had caught at that stage - if she caught something she really liked, she supposed that she mightn't even bother going for a Kangaskhan - not until another run, at any rate. That perhaps wouldn't be for quite a while at this rate.

"Let's keep going now; if we're going to run into a Kangaskhan, we'll soon find out," Eric had told Clara, and she smiled at him gratefully. It seemed that he wanted her to encounter a Kangaskhan too, but she would definitely make do with what she had if push came to shove, and if there was some other Pokémon she had captured along the way, then she wouldn't have to have a Kangaskhan. After a while of walking, they came across a really spooky-looking creature, popping onto the path out of nowhere in particular. It had really strange eyes, and even false eyes - Clara didn't know which was which, but knew what this creature was. It was an Armaldo, of course, but she didn't actually have any interest in capturing one for her team - sure, they were strong Pokémon, but she still didn't have any interest. Sighing, she decided to rely on yet another Pokédoll. Handing over the money, she played out her Kangaskhan Voice Disk one more as she waited for Eric to produce a Pokédoll to aid their escape from the Fossil creature.

ooc; 1.5k - .5k = 1k. gah D;

 

Clara had no interest in facing this Armaldo, but oddly enough, rather than snap its picture, she just decided to pay for another Pokedoll, and move on. I wasn't going to argue with her though, it was Clara's choice. I took the money, and pulled out a fresh Pokedoll. I threw the doll at Armaldo, who caught it on one of its claws, and happily accepted the doll, giving us time to pass. "Alright, now that that's done lets keep going," I said to Clara, as she once again played her Kangaskhan Voice Disk.

We continued walking, and I was keeping my sight clear for a Kangaskhan, but unfortunately I wasn't seeing one. I thought it kind of funny though that Clara had came here seeing three Normal-types, all of which were female only Pokemon. Each one was mildly rare too, but so far finding two of the three that she wanted was pretty good, she'd just need to hope for the best with her Kangaskhan Voice Disk if she wanted to walk away from here with all three Pokemon that she intended to capture. Only a few steps later, a new Pokemon came before us. It was similar to something from before, mostly because it evolved from it. It was a bee-like Pokemon with a black and yellow striped body. The red spot on its face from its pre-evolved from had fully grown into a red gem on its forehead, and this Pokemon also had some small wings on its back like its previous evolved form. Much like the Pokemon Clara was after, this Pokemon was female only.

Posting to end my run. Don't fancy my chances of encountering a Kangaskhan, really, and I'm fine with not having one from the time being. It's been a fun run, and I've got two Pokémon I really wanted out of it, plus 2k. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RANGERING, EBAIL.
