Joe walked slowly descended from the Jeep and looked down at his paper work. He read the title of the destination and looked up at the sign, planted in by the side of the road. He placed the paper work away and sat by a rock, awaiting his trainer.

In the file it said that a trainer was coming to the Botanic Gardens to capture some Pokemon. His name was Daniel, no surname, just Daniel. Joe looked up in the sky and noticed the sun was shinning brightly down upon the Ranger Outpost. Joe sighed, wondering what the other Rangers are doing right now, probably swimming in the Lakes and have a whale of a time.

Alex looked into his pocket and picked up a small Pokeball. He threw the Pokeball at the ground and watched as a small black bird appeared from the flash. The bird circled around and landed on Joe's shoulder.

"Looking forward to the Scar?" Joe asked his Murkrow. Scar replied by barking out his name. Joe smiled and waited for his trainer.

OOC: [MENTION]gmandiddy[/MENTION]

"You sure you got everything you need?" A voice asked.

My gaze was fixed was on the horizon, admiring the multitude of forests and mountains that make up the National Park. This wasn't my first time coming to the national park, but it has been a while since the last time I came, almost a year if I recall correctly. My stare was broken by a large judder of the car. looking a way from the window I looked ahead and pulled the visor down from the roof of the car so as to protect my eyes from the blaring sun.

"For the third time yes, yes I have got everything Dad packed it all for me" I replied, eventually.

I look to my mother, expecting her to reply with a comment regarding my cheek but instead looked at me with a confused face.

"....oh, oh right, did he? well you know he can't be trusted with that sort of thing"

It seemed she had forgotten she asked me the question at all, understandable since I didn't reply for a solid five minutes, that and she always asks unnecessary questions when she gets nervous. My mother never liked the idea of me and pokemon, especially since my grandfather passed away last month. My Grandfather was my teacher of the way of pokemon he was the one who taught me how to battle, how to treat my pokemon and gave me my inspiration, after all, He was a gym leader in his youth. After he passed my mother knew there was now no-one left to help me with pokemon related things, she was never good with pokemon and chose to live a life without them, something that my grandfather was disappointed in but supported her regardless, my father was a scientist and only really knew pokemon in a technical sort of way and so isn't the best advice giver when it comes to these things.

Just as a safeguard I checked the contents of my satchel that rested between my feet just in case, A few potions, empty park standard pokeballs, a few perfumes among other things. Everything That I deemed necessary was indeed there.

"Yep, he did good enough, everything is there." I assured her.

"Okay good, that makes me feel a little better" She said looking in the rear mirror and spotting the passenger sitting behind me, a bipedal chinchilla-ish pokemon, Cincinno is my best friend, whenever I am feeling down He was always able to cheer me up especially in the past month he helped me deal with my grandfathers death. I looked over my shoulder towards him and spied him grooming the long tuft of fur that binds round his neck imitating a scarf. "Who else did you bring?" she asked.

"Forest" I replied bluntly returning my stare towards the front of the car.

"Forest? Are you sure?" She asked a bit worriedly.

"Never been more sure in my life"

Forest was a Sceptile, and more importantly, my grandfathers first Pokemon. I Pulled out a green tinted pokeball from my waist and examined it, twisting it around in the sunlight. Forest was my grandfathers best friend, his best pokemon and more importantly practically my teacher. Whenever my grandfather would teach me how to battle it was always Forest who would be the punching bag. After My Grandfather passed it was decided that Forest Would be passed onto me, rather training with me than helping my grandmother with chores around the house. However I knew why my Mom was anxious about me bringing along Forest, Although Forest was as nimble and agile as any other Sceptile about he was still older, a powerful battler, but unpredictable in his utilization of his abilities.

"That's the outpost there" My Mom pointed out. I reattached the pokeball to my waist and looked ahead. Hearing My Moms comment Cincinno jumped into my lap and bounced around indicating that he was ready for some action.

"Just let us off here" I said prying Cincinnos tails away from my face.

The car came to a halt just a few feet away from the outpost, I opened the car door and Cincinno hopped out and danced a little in the sunlight. I followed shortly after, after saying my goodbyes to my Mom and slamming the door behind me, I could hear a faint 'be safe' emanate from the inside but was blocked out my the slam of the door.

Looking around I tried to gain my bearings, see If I could find anything familiar about. I noticed a figure perched on top of a rock not far from where I was and decided that greeting this person would be my best course of action.

"Hey!" I said reaching my hand out for the man on the rock "I'm Daniel, are you my ranger for today?" As I neared him something familiar about him struck me, I think He has been my ranger before, but I'm not sure.

Joe turned around and noticed a trainer walk up towards him. "Hey!" said the trainer as he shook Joe's hand. "I'm Daniel, are you my ranger for today?" Joe quickly looked down and read the name on the file. He look up and replied, "Yeah, my name is Joe. I think we've met before. Ahh yes, it was the Power Plant."

After their introduction, Joe lead Daniel towards the entrance of the Botanic Gardens. As they took a step into the Gardens, Joe could see thousands of wild Pokemon across the plain. Joe felt very optimistic about this run. Joe watched as Murkrow took off into the air and started to circle around the group. Then from the corner of Joe's eye, he saw a small bulb Pokemon approach the group. It had long leave-like hairs sprouting out from its head. "Oddiisssh," cried the Pokemon. Joe smiled and turned to Daniel and asked, "Do you want to battle this Oddish?"

"Yeah, my name is Joe. I think we've met before." His eyes went a bit empty, as if he had just gone into a stage of thought, "Ahh yes, it was the Power Plant."

Of course, the power plant, I remember I had opted to go for an expedition their early last year the same time I tried my hand at the world of Gym Leaders, Vermillion to be precise. Hopefully this expedition would prove more fruitful. He ushered me to the left indicating he's ready to begin and began walking towards large floral plains. The gardens were beautiful from where I was standing, bountiful amounts of pokemon paraded across the plains in the distance, it gave me shivers thinking how large the national park truly was, what I could see now was most likely only a fraction of the Parks true size. In a way I knew what to expect from the Botanic Gardens, I have been here twice already, but both previous times my inexperience had gotten the better of me and I made some bad choices. However that was because I was hasty to try it, something known is something conquered, and now that I know more about the park I was ready for what it had to throw at me.

My thoughts were interrupted by an audible craw, as the Murkrow that was once perched on Joe's shoulder was now taking flight, circling the surrounding area, guess it's always good to have an eye in the sky. I took my attention away from the bird and focused on scouting out potential captures, but Joe's ranger training seemed to have bested my instincts as he had already picked out my opponent from a flower patch a few feet away.

"Oddiisssh," it cried, small bulb pokemon bounced up from between a few flowers revealing it's self to my untrained eyes. I looked to Cincinno and made sure he didn't do anything to the oddish as I wasn't planning on attempting this capture.

"Do you want to battle this Oddish?" Joe asked.

"No thank you, it would be of no use to me, better to just leave it in the wild" I looked to Cincinno and ushered him to move on. I was never worried that Cincinno would harm the Oddish before battle, I was more worried about his ability, Cute Charm, it tends to have an effect on pokemon of the opposite gender and an infatuated pokemon following us around is probably the last thing we want.

"If It proves troublesome I have this pokedoll from an event a while back, just use this on it" I said and handed him a dusty pokedoll from my satchel.

"No thank you, it would be of no use to me, better to just leave it in the wild" Daniel said. He looked down at his Minccino and looked like he was ushering him away. Joe started to wonder if Daniel was afraid that Minccino would attack the Oddish or maybe his ability, Cute Charm, would attract the wild Pokemon. Daniel looked up at Joe and said, "If It proves troublesome I have this pokedoll from an event a while back, just use this on it."

Joe smiled and said to Daniel, "It looks like this little guy fell asleep pretty earlier. I think we should get moving quickly." Joe lead Daniel away from the sleeping Oddish and towards a small forest opening. Joe had an idea that there could be some rare Pokemon hidden away in the forests, just like there are rare Pokemon located in the darkest parts of Meteor Valley. After walking for some time, Joe and Daniel finally reached the entrance to the forest. As soon as the reached the entrance, they heard a small rustling in the bushes. Realizing that this was a place where powerful Pokemon can be found, Joe tugged Daniel's shirt indicating for him to get into the bushes. They retreated to the bushes and watched as a large kangaroo like Pokemon hoped out from the bushes opposite them.

"That's a Breloom, a Pokemon renowned for it's Spore attack," Joe whispered to Daniel.

Then suddenly Murkrow gave out a squawk pricking its foot on a bramble. The Breloom swung its head around towards the direction of Joe and Daniel and produced a loud road.

"Want to battle this Pokemon?" Joe said normally to Daniel. There was no point whispering now, it knew they were in the bush.

"It looks like this little guy fell asleep pretty earlier. I think we should get moving quickly." joe said pointing out the dormant bulb pokemon. it seems it had nested in the flower patch to mimic a bed of some sorts. joe walked on knowing there was not much else to be done here in the direction of a large forest just on our right. We walked through the small opening and experienced a noticeably smaller amount of sunlight reaching the undergrowth, shaded by the large treetops.

Not even a few steps in there, Joe had already begun to pull on my shirt, judging by the haste in which he acted I figured there was a pokemon somewhere. Not wanting to argue I did what was asked of me and pushed Cincinno into the nearby bushes ahead of me and dived in myself. Once I had made myself comfortable and reached my hands out and made a small parting in the bushes allowing me to see out onto the opening we were just on. A few seconds passed and soon a green kangaroo like pokemon hopped out from the bushery across from us.

"That's a Breloom, a Pokemon renowned for it's Spore attack," joe whispered to me, not wanting to alert the Breloom, I thought about the almost marsupial-ish pokemon and decided if I wanted it or not, Breloom are known to be strong pokemon being part fighting type and all, but it was early on in the expedition and tacling a pokemon of this strength might not be the best Idea. just as I was going to tell Joe to just let it pass, a loud squawk screeched from beside us, joes murkrow had stumble across a bramble and hurt it's foot, my head shot to the breloom checking if it had heard us....who was I kidding, of course it heard us.

"Want to battle this Pokemon?" Joe asked, the fact that he spoken at normal volume assured me there was no chance of sneaking past the breloom.

"No thanks, It is too early to be attempting the capture of a pokemon of this difficulty, let's just hope for a Shroomish later on, I still have that pokedoll ready if needs be"

"No thanks, It is too early to be attempting the capture of a pokemon of this difficulty, let's just hope for a Shroomish later on, I still have that pokedoll ready if needs be," Daniel said to Joe.

Joe nodded and waited to see what the Breloom would do. The tall Mushroom Pokemon turned its body towards the bush where Joe and Daniel were hiding and started to charge towards the bush. Joe suddenly had an urge to jump up and run away, however he knew that Breloom were fast and could easily catch up. The Breloom launched itself over the bush and ran behind the trainers, ignoring their presence. Joe breathed a sigh of relief and walked out from the bush. After wiping down his clothes from the brambles, he turned to Daniel and lead him away down the small forest.

The walked down a path which split through the forest. The tree's hung over the path and blocked the sun rays coming through. Then all of a sudden a Pokemon fly in front of us. It looked like a small blue blob with two cotton like wings sticking out. It was a Swablu, a very rare Pokemon found in the Botanic Gardens. Joe was a bit jealous of Daniel finding one of these, it really would have suited his gym. Joe turned to Daniel and asked, "Do you want to battle this Swablu?"

The Breloom started towards us walking slowly at first but quickly began to pick up speed, soon it was in a full speed charge right towards the bushes, right towards us. I could see Joe bracing for contact, priming himself for a hasty jump out of the way. makes sense, if this thing charged us it would definitely hurt so making a getaway seemed the smartest idea. I pushed Cincinno to the side making sure he was out of the way, he already was out of the way since he was on the far right of us, I was thinking more along the lines of 'make sure he's out of the way so I can get away too'. Just as we were ready to spring ourselves away from the bushes a wind blew past our heads followed by a rain of dislodged leaves.

Peering my head over the top of the bushes I noticed the Breloom was no longer there and we were still in one piece, it appeared the mushroom pokemon had leaped over us instead of running through us. I could here Joe let out a large sigh and stood up from the bushes out onto the forest trail. figuring it was safe to come out if Joe had, I pushed up on the ground allowing myself to leverage myself back onto my feet. I shuffled my hands through my hair correcting any discrepancies in it and looked towards Joe for our next move. He patted himself down clearing away the last of the brambles that might have gotten stuck from the bush. Once cleansed from bushery he waved his hand towards deeper into the forest.

As we walked down the small trail I looked to Cincinno and noticed he was struggling with brambles in his fur just as Joe had been earlier, I reached my hand out to a section of it's entwined tail and pulled a few twigs and leaves from it. Appreciating my help he turned and let out a cheer, not loud but loud enough for me to hear, he was a smart pokemon and he knew any unnecessary sounds is another liability in here.

It wasn't long until a new pokemon showed itself to us, at first I didn't think it was a pokemon, but rather an odd ball of fluff that floated before us, it was only when the wings opened and revealed the blue bodied bird beneath. I instantly recognised the pokemon as a Swablu.

"Do you want to battle this Swablu?" Joe asked.

"yeah, I don't see why not" I replied with a smile on my face. I looked to Cincinno and noticed a smile on face as well, he was ready for a fight. He bounced forward looking up at the airborne ball of cotton. "Okay Cincinno, let's open this up with a Thunder Wave"

The hairs on Cincinnos body started pricking, cracking with the sound of electricity. His tapestry of a tail sparked as charges within his body began to collect and increase. One of the tips of the tail rose from the rest and begun to glow a light blue tint as all the charges amassed at the tip. With an audible cry the sparks shot from the static fur on it's tail bounding towards the Swablu.

"Okay while you still have the electricity stored Follow up with a Thunderbolt!"

Suddenly the Blue sparks turned yellow and the single tail tip was joined by another tail tip leaving two electrically charged Tails aimed directly towards the Swablu, with a squeal Cincinno uncharged it's tails

"Yeah, I don't see why not," Daniel replied with a big grin on his face. The Daniel looked down at his Cincinno and noticed a grin on face as well. He bounced forward looking up at the airborne ball of cotton, eager to get this battle started. Joe knew that Cincinno, being a normal type Pokemon, had access to a lot of moves and could easily surprise Swablu. Cincinno took up position opposite Swablu and watched as the small cotton Pokemon floated through the air.

"Okay Cincinno, let's open this up with a Thunder Wave," Daniel commanded. Suddenly Cincinno body hairs started to rise, due to the amount of electrical energy passing through them. Cincinno was charging up like a battery and when the time was ready, he would unleash a very tactical move against Swablu. Thunder Wave was a move which caused paralysis on the opponent and at the same time slowed them down, by numbing up the joints. The electricity rose to the tapestry of a tail, lighting up Cincinno as it surged through. Then between the hairs of the tail, a small blue orb appeared; crackling with energy. Cincinno threw her tail down towards the ground and threw the orb towards the wild Swablu.

Swablu acted quickly and suddenly generated a large mirror in front of him. The orb collided against the mirror and split into two small orbs. One of the orbs went straight through the mirror and smacked into Swablu. The other orb bounced back against the mirror and collided into Cincinno, paralysing the normal Pokemon. Joe noted that Swablu had just used Mirror Move, a move which copies the last move of its opponent and uses it against him. It was a smart move by this Pokemon, now both Pokemon were paralysed.

Cincinno looked over at the Swablu and tried to fire off the remaining electricity, which was stored during the preparation of the Thunder Wave attack. However sparks flew out from his muscles and quickly stopped the attack. Cincinno muscles were numb and he couldn’t attack properly.

Joe turned to Daniel and pointed out, “This Swablu is one tricky customer.”

ooc: Female please

The Thunder wave bounded across the opening towards the Swablu with fast pace, I thought for sure that it would hit but I remembered the pokemon here in the park have a tendency to be a little...trickier than those in the wild, I guess it must be something the park rangers feed them.

When the spark was within a few feet of the bird, a shimmering light started to sparkle in front of it. the sparkles got brighter until and bigger until each flash meshed together to form a mystical barrier. The thunder wave smashed into the barrier with a great force. The spark struck against the barrier and was stopped dead, staying in place trying to force it's way through it, soon the Thunder wave amassed into a pool of electricity forcing its way through the barrier it wasn't long until the mirror cracked under the pressure of the electricity. The pool of electricity split into two two orbs, one bounded through the barrier and struck the Swablu passing electricity through it's feathers and muscles effectively paralysing it. Although, the other orb rebounded off the 'mirror' and hurtled back towards it's creator. At this point Cincinno was still charging electricity through it's tails and so when the orb struck it, I couldn't see much difference in it's appearance since sparks were previously discharging off his body. i had hoped this slight problem didn't affect him too much. Cincinno let out a roar once fully charged, I watched in anticipation of another thunderous spark shooting off him but instead, he let out a sigh as he dropped to the ground, limbs shaking, as I guessed the Swablu had used Mirror move and Cincinno was indeed paralysed as well.

“This Swablu is one tricky customer.” Joe remarked.

"Okay Cincinno, you've gotten through things much worse than a little paralysis, show that Swablu a rock blast!" I shouted hoping this slight setback hadn't deterred his confidence too much.

With a nod of acceptance Cincinno stood back on his legs and began pounding the ground with his tails, softening it up for easy removal. Once happy with the state of the floor Cincinno primed his claws, baring them towards Swablu and hammered them into the ground, with a grunt of strength and a sharp pull up multiple rocks hung in an an almost stable suspension in the air. In an act of aggression Cincinno struck each of the Rocks with his tails, bouncing around each of them doing flips, cartwheels and other acrobatic movements.

"Okay Cincinno, you've gotten through things much worse than a little paralysis, show that Swablu a rock blast!" Daniel shouted out to his Pokemon.

Cincinno turned around and started to dig into the ground. Joe wondered what he was doing; however after a while Joe realized what he was doing. Cincinno was digging up the ground, trying to release some small rocks away from the ground. A small pile of rocks started to build up outside the hole. It looked like Cincinno was preparing its ammunition ready for the big move. Cincinno quickly stopped digging and turned around and faced Swablu. Then the normal Pokemon suddenly lifted the rocks into the air. Joe was surprised how Cincinno could do that, and watched as the rocks floated in front of Cincinno. He must’ve practiced the move hundreds of times to perfect it.

Cincinno forced the stones towards Swablu by using the palms of his hands. The stones flew through the air and collided against the flying Pokemon’s skin. Swablu looked in pain and tried to get back up after the attack. Joe knew that Rock Blast was a rock type move and unfortuantly for Swablu, rock moves were super effective against him. Swablu gradually got back up and started glow in a dark blue colour. Then Swablu quickly fired a spiralling eclipse towards Cincinno. From a distance it looked like Dragon Pulse, a move which is powerful special attack. Cincinno took the hit and was sent flying back a couple of metres. The rodent-like Pokemon quickly gt back up and awaited further instructions.

@gmandiddy;

The rocks floated almost still in the air turning on the spot, rotating on it's axis, waiting to be struck. With almost perfect motion Cincinno struck the levitating rocks with great strength, mimicking the velocity and force of a bullet. The Swablu saw the rocks hurtle towards and let out a chirp as it attempted to avoid the super effective rocks however it's attempts were futile. The rocks collided against the Swablus body one after the other in a relentless assault. The Swablu sighed in pain, I knew the Rock Blast would have hurt it as, being a flying type, it was weak to rock moves. It flew about for a while swaying side to side trying to correct it's flight from Cincinnos attack.

Once it was back to flying on the spot it begun it's retaliation, a blue aura begun to emanate from the Swablu, it's eyes closed shut as it began to focus, the clouded wings begun to vibrate furiously as it produced energy. With a large exhale the Swablu released a large blue vortex from it's mouth. Considering the size of the Swablu the vortex was an impressive creation, spanning almost five feet in diameter at it's widest. I recognised what the move most likely was at the time of preparation, it was a Dragon Pulse, the strength and ferocity that the blue aura embodies is indicative of dragon types. At I was confuseed, it was a bit strange to see a pokemon of this...stature, use a move like this but I quickly remembered that a Swablu evolves into an Altaria, a part dragon type cotton cloud.

Cincinno saw this vortex and braced it self for contact, he knew that dragon moves were to be feared. The pulse struck Cincinno with so much force it had pushed him back a few metres leaving gashes in the dirt where his feet had been dragged. I hunched my self forward in an attempt to lower my centre of gravity and anchor my self down against the overflow from the pulse which passed Cincinno and headed straight to me. once the vortex had subsided I looked up to Cincinno and checked how he was doing, he was already up and awaiting my next order.

"alright, Cincinno let's end this quick, rush the Swablu with a Tail Slap!"

Cincinno nodded and went down on all fours, priming itself for a charge. his tails perked up and begun to glow a sharp bright white indicating the Tail slap move. With a roar of aggression Cincinno launched of his hind legs directly towards the floating cotton ball that is Swablu.

BP#1​

“Ms. Sara, there’s a bit of an issue,” came the voice of the secretary for the Docks Ranger Station. I was lying on a couch in the lounge area, watching some new soap opera called How the PokeBall Turns and laughing at how ridiculously shallow and dull the characters were. I sat up and faced the doorway as the young woman approached, looking at a few papers she was holding. When she reached me she handed me what she was looking at, and I wasn’t surprised to see it was a Trainer application.

“Mr. Smith was taking this young man through the Garden, but some important personal business came up and he has to leave immediately. Would you be able to take over the run?”

“Do I look busy?” I said with a smile, waving aimlessly at the TV. The secretary didn’t respond and I sighed; this woman was way too uptight and stern. “Of course I can take it, I’m not doing anything productive at the moment. I’ll bum a ride on Seagem.” I stood from the couch and quickly went over the rest of the information on the papers. The Trainer’s name was Daniel and he had a Cinccino and a Sceptile with him at the Botanic Garden. There was a note on one of the last pages saying the Trainer was interested in finding a Tauros, asking whoever took the run to take the Trainer to some of the areas the bulls were known to frequent. I then tossed the papers onto the couch and headed out of the Outpost, whistling loudly once I was outside.

After a few moments a large creamy-orange shape came flying out of the water next to the dock, landing and shaking itself off a moment later. I went over to my Dragonite and slapped her side fondly, clambering on her back and settling myself as I said, “We’re taking over a run at the Garden.” Seagem responded with a faint hum as she couched, then leapt into the air with a powerful heave. Her wings snapped open and pushed downward, and a few moments later we were on our way.

It only took a few minutes for us to reach the Garden, thanks to Seagem’s speed. When I noticed Smith and Daniel in the distance, I had Seagem land and trotted the rest of the way over, not wanting to interfere with a battle that was clearly going on. Seagem herself took wing again, following from above as I joined the others. Upon reaching them I released Regalia, my Sigilyph, and had him teleport Smith back to the Ranger Station for the Garden. The Sigilyph returned a few moments later, and I turned my full attention to what was going on.

Daniel’s Cinccino was charging at a Swablu, his tails glowing with a harsh light. The Swablu was watching its foe closely, its fluffy wings beating the air more than should have been necessary to keep it airborne. Even though Cinccino was coming at it head-on, the little bird wasn’t backing away or giving any ground. It almost seemed like it wanted to get hit…

Cinccino leapt at Swablu and did a spin in midair, one of his tails catching Swablu and knocking it to the ground. When Cinccino landed, he spun again and rapidly landed three more blows with his tails. Swablu gave a faint warbling cry from the assault, but then started to glow with a strange light. This light then condensed around Swablu’s tail; almost as soon as Cinccino’s Tail Slap finished, Swablu pumped furiously and got it back into the air, where it suddenly dove for Cinccino.

Just when it seemed Swablu was going to collide with Cinccino, the small aviary did a flip and smacked Cinccino with its own glowing tail. Three more quick smacks followed, and by the time it was over, Swablu looked rather fatigued. It flew a few feet from Cinccino before abruptly falling to the grass below, twitching a little. It took me a moment to realize the Pokemon must have been Paralyzed at some point before I arrived, as it was the only thing that could cause such a reaction.

Cinccino, for his part, looked more dazed than hurt by the Tail Slap he’d just taken. Swablu had made use of Mirror Move, which was why it had waited to be struck; it was probably a shock to be struck by the same move you’d just used yourself. He blinked and then glanced back at Daniel, as if asking what had just happened. I decided not to comment, instead remaining silent. I’d introduce myself properly once the battle was over and I wouldn’t be posing a distraction.

@Dog of Hellsing;

ooc: it's a female

Cincinno raced towards the Swablu readying it's glowing tails in the rush. When he had gotten to a suitable distance just short of the bird he leaped into the air. With almost beautiful grace and perfection Cincinno whipped his tails, spinning back and forward with each consecutive hit in a flurry of condensed steel like fur. As I watched on I noticed the first strike launch the bird into the ground and was relentlessly beaten by a further four strikes. I almost felt sorry for the Swablu, Cincinno was greatly more experienced than it, as it almost seemed infantile in size.

I felt sorry for it up until it's retaliation anyway, Cincinno bounded back from Swablu regaining composure from it's attack giving the Swablu time to right itself, since it's only fair. The cotton coated bird flapped it's wings furiously while recovering altitude only to slow down to a more managable pace once at a suitable distance from the ground. With a squawk it flew towards Cincinno. Just before it seemed like it was going to strike Cincinno, Swablu flipped over one-eighty degrees allow it's tail to be in a good place for assault. With it's small tail it whipped Cincinno multiple times. It was obvious to me that it had carried out another Mirror Move attack since it's attack closely resembled Cincinnos previous tail slap and as far as I could tell Swablu don't naturally learn Tail slap.

I watched as Cincinno recovered from the attack and thought about the next course of action, Swablu looked pretty tired out from that last attack so maybe it was time to start considering capturing it. However, it wouldn't hurt to weaken it a little more.

I looked around me trying to find Joe, but oddly he was not there, Maybe he left or is watching from a distance, it seems a little...immoral of a ranger to leave their trainer without supervision in the National parks however I will find out after and hopefully find an explanation, right now I should focus on the battle.

"Ok Cincinno, Let's try another Thunderbolt!" I shouted, "But this time try and use some of the paralysis from the thunder wave to boost the power!"

Cincinno nodded and begun to vibrate it's tails in an attempt to harness the electricity from the Thunder wave it was struck with earlier that was sparking off it's body. the electricity begun to gather at the tip of it's tails and with a roar he unleashed the thunderbolt across the opening we stood in.

I watched on as the Electricity bounded towards the Bird and with this attack I felt it was time to attempt a capture. Reaching into my bag I picked out a standard park ball and without hesitation I launched it towards the Swablu

Daniel had a rather intriguing idea for striking the final blow against Swablu. Having Cinccino harness the stray electric current from an earlier Thunder Wave to charge his own attack wasn’t something I’d heard anyone else try. It was easy to see why it wasn’t something other people tended to think of; nearly all non-Electric Pokemon generated the charge for their attack externally, outside of their bodies. Normally they used static electricity in the atmosphere, or concentrated some kind of energy outside of their bodies. To have a non-Electric Pokemon try to control rampant electricity in its body would be extremely difficult to do for a creature who’d never before done such a thing. Of course, that was making assumptions; perhaps Cinccino had been able to do this in the past, or was one of the very rare exceptions when it came to a non-Electric Pokemon generating a charge internally.

Either way, the chinchilla was obviously going to give it a shot. The little Pokemon dropped to all fours, gripping the earth tightly to ground himself as he started to rapidly vibrate his tails. This created a massive static charge, the normal way for a non-Electric Pokemon to employ a move like Thunderbolt. The charge then burst from Cinccino’s tails as the Pokemon let out a fierce cry. It certainly did seem to be a fair bit bigger than would have normally been produced, but the extra power came with a price; by actively conducting the current flowing through his body, Cinccino inadvertently caused some of it to erratically stimulate his muscles. I saw his body become too rigid, too tense, and knew he’d become momentarily immobilized by paralysis.

Thankfully, Swablu was still recovering from her own paralysis. She was twitching on the ground, not able to do much more as the Thunderbolt arched towards her. It was a bit off-target from Cinccino’s last-minute paralysis, his aim having been marred from the sudden bunching of his muscles. The attack ended up striking Swablu’s wings and back instead of hitting the little bird head-on, which was probably a blessing in disguise since the Pokemon looked fatigued and that Thunderbolt looked pretty darn powerful.

The attack ground itself out after a few seconds, leaving a very dazed and weakened Swablu in its place. The Pokemon gave a feeble little trill before a Park Ball suddenly bounced off its side and popped open, sucking the Swablu inside. Daniel must have thrown it a few moments after Cinccino let loose his Thunderbolt; to be honest, I hadn’t been focusing on the Trainer’s actions. I’d been more interested in seeing how Cinccino would carry out the orders he’d been given.

The occupied Park Ball gave a single, barely-noticeable wiggle before falling still. I walked over to fetch it, clipping it to my belt before walking over to Daniel to introduce myself properly. I smiled as I reached him, holding out a hand as I said, “Hey there, my name is Trainer Sara, and I’m taking over your run. Your previous Ranger had to leave to attend to some urgent personal business. Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious, but he really had to go. Sorry to swap Rangers on you out of the blue like that, especially in the middle of a battle. Doesn’t seem to have really interfered, though. Ah, congrats on your capture, by the way.”
