Main RP: Outer Heaven

The small blue bird with white cloud like wings had healed Skarmory's status problems with a small dance called Heal Bell. I wasn't to fond of it, but it did work in my favor, waking up Hotshot in the process. The sound was also nice and relaxing, but I couldn't let that distract me. Now I just had to bring his health down and inflict another status condition on him, preferably another Thunder Wave attack. I just had to think of a strategy to bring the steel bird down to low health to capture it. I was going to have to first raise his special attack to get a weak attack in that would do the least damage.. That would give me the chance to use a move that didn't do much damage but did a good amount of damage. As long as the Swablu stayed distracted with Siless' Gardevoir, I could focus on this bird, but I knew that Swablu was tricky so I wasn't letting my guard down. At the very least, if it attacked Cybershock, he could easily counter it with one of his moves which should push the Swablu's attack aside.

I would have him raise his special attack with Nasty Plot then I would use a small noneffective move like Tri Attack to slowly lower the health of Skarmory and hopefully inflict a burn or paralysis in the process. Skarmory was all steel, except for the undersides of its wings. I figured a weak spot would be near that area towards the chest. His head was also a good place to aim for, but since it was small, it would be hard to get a direct hit on his head. It would be better to just aim for the chest, giving him a higher chance of hitting it.

"Alright, use Nasty Plot, then use that energy and create a Tri Attack. Just don't hurt it too much." I called out to the Computer Pokemon. Cybershock began changing from a black and red to a dark grey color as his eyes began to glow red. He focused of Skarmory and created dark thoughts in his head, thoughts that would help him take the Skarmory down. They were dark, sneaky plans, which would use those plans on the armored bird. He would then project those dark thoughts into an attack, which would power it significantly. Even though it was a powerful attack, it wouldn't do much because it wasn't super effective to the Skarmory because he is a Steel type. Since he was part flying, I would just use an Electric attack next to do even more damage.

Then, he would form three different colored beams; an angry red, peaceful blue, and earthly green colors would come out of Cybershock's body and intertwined together to form a radiant multi-hued beam that he would launch at the Skarmory. Tri Attack usually had a side effect that inflicted a status effect such as causing a burn or paralysis, or even freeze the opponent. It had a small chance to cause that, which was too small to count on, but I could hope. If I was lucky, it would work as planned, but the way my luck was going, I wasn't going to count on luck. If this didn't work, I would just switch to another Pokemon. Perhaps I would even use Skyfire and have an Aerial Battle. Skyfire was pretty fast, but he was better in using Physical Attacks, so his Fire Fang attack would come in handy because not only was it strong, it was super effective. I would just power him up with a quick Dragon Dance so that both his speed and attack would be raised one stage, which would make him faster than the Skarmory, but I wasn't going to worry about that now. ​

 

While Skarmory was concentrating on which Gardevior was which, Porygon-Z prepared the Tri-Attack. Swablu noticed its enemy while Skamory was still destroying the Gardevoir's clones, and immediately flapped its cotton tuft wings, taking to the skies while telling its oblivious battle partner about the incoming attack. Skamory turned his head, only to be hit by the red ball in the face while the others hit where Porygon-Z aimed: The chest. Skamory howled as the burning sensation continued.

Swablu rolled her eyes and decided that this time it wasn't going to help its reckless partner relieve the pain. It simply yelled a command to Skamory, who nodded, wings rubbing its face as if Skamory was trying to scrap the pain off. Swablu flapped its wings extra hard, making a turbulent whirlwind. I recognized the move as Tailwind, and Swablu jumped into the wind to ride it, and Skamory followed suit, trying to ignore the pain.

But it wasn't a normal Tailwind. Swablu shedded her down rapidly, and it built up, following the whirlwind. It was a Tailwind and Featherdance combo, but the Featherdance wasn't used to lower the foe's attack. Skamory tried to follow, but only a few metal shards came off. Swablu immediately halted its partner and, not long later, the entire whirlwind was concealed in feathers, hiding the duo's location.

As quick as a wink, Skamory was flung out of the feather whirlwind and struck Sela with a Night Slash, its wing slashing deep into Sela's body before darting back into the whirlwind before anyone could react. With Sela weak against Dark-Type attacks, she simply howled and went back a few steps, thanking her lucky stars Skamory's attack has already been lowered.

The Swablu appeared to be calling the shots in this battle. Skarmory was like its personal little minion who did what he was told. I was going to have to change that after I captured him. In order to throw off the Skarmory, I'd have to take care of the Swablu problem. I was going to have to knock it out. Put it to sleep that is. I could only put one Pokemon to sleep at a time, and for that, Cybershock would have to stand down since Mindbender was the only one I brought that could use a sleep move and put the opponent to sleep instantly. Kickback's Yawn attack wouldn't personally work too well here. It would give the Swablu time to heal itself with Heal Bell. Not only that, but healing the Skarmory's burn in the process, we didn't want that to happen. None of my Pokemon knew the move Taunt which was a surprise to me since I'd always come prepared with that move for moments like this where I needed it. I brought out Mindbender's green and blue Pokeball and tossed it besides me. An green humanoid shaped Pokemon emerged from the sphere and in front of me. Cybershock knew what I was doing and stood in front of Mindbender.

"Alright Mindbender, use Psych Up on Cybershock. Take in what rises he has and use them, then use your hypnotic waves on the Swablu, you have to make sure it's a direct hit. That's all I want you to do for now. We'll deal with Skarmory afterwards." I said. Mindbender focused her eyes on Cybershock. She was using Psych Up and was using all the powerups Cybershock had. I waited to see if she actually copied them all. Then after she did that she would switch her focus to Swablu and send off strong hypnotic waves by attaching her mind to Swablus using her Psychic powers. Now I just had to wait for the whole plan to unfold. If this worked out, then I'd just have to worry about putting the Skarmory to sleep and lowering his health just a bit lower then I would try capturing it. After that I'd just have to focus on getting the rest of the Pokemon I came here for and be gone.​

 

Cameron switched out for another one of his Pokémon; I considered doing the same, but Teddson was weak to flying and would be a last resort, Missy wouldn't have her own typing to help since Swablu was Normal-type, and Tear needed to be up at all costs. The best we could do was help Cameron make the fight calm down.

"Sela, make a Wish to heal your wounds, and help Cameron's Gardevoir hit with Hypnosis; hold Swablu still, distract it, use your own Hypnosis, whatever you need to do."

Sela nodded, and what appeared to be a shooting star appeared directly over her head. She stared down the Swablu, waiting for it to react to the other Gardevoir's Hypnosis attack.

 

Swablu had forgotten something: While the enemy can't see them, they cannot see the enemy. The release of Mindbender was not known to the wild Pokemon, and Skamory was still trying to get rid of the burning sensation. Mindbender sensed Swablu's movements in the feather whirlwind, and directed her psychic powers to that point. Swablu suddenly froze, and Skamory rammed straight into her. Mindbender winced on the impact between the two, apparently a bit connected to Swablu now, though she sustained no damage.

Sela did the same, and Swablu felt herself drifting off again. She tried to perform Heal Bell, but only creaky words came out of its mouth before it fell asleep, drifting into the calm eye of the whirlwind. Skamory, on the other hand, was confused about his teammate falling asleep, and almost wanted to dash out of the whirlwind before being distracted by the fact he was now free to attack whoever he wanted, and any way he wanted.

Hundreds of Skamory erupted out of the whirlwind. It was clear Skamory was using Double Team. No one knew which one was the real Skamory, and no one knew who he would attack first.

OOC: Okay, well this post sucks, but I had to make it longish ;_; I'm like 13.5/2o so I'll try catching it next post.

Mindbender located the white and blue flying type Pokemon and linked her mind with the Swablu. She sent small hypnotic waves that could not be seen with the human eye, which is why I had to wait to see if the move worked. Mindbender swayed back and forth, her elegant white ballroom gown followed her movements. She began chanting one of her spells. I could never tell what she was saying, but I knew it was some extremely powerful magic she was doing. That's one of the things I liked about Mindbender, she was really strong. She didn't look it from her outsides, in fact she looked quite fragile. That's what gave her the advantage since her opponents usually underestimated her. Then she'd use her Psychic abilities to take them down. I watched as the Swablu slowly came in to focus and fell to the ground, sound asleep. The small blue bird Pokemon looked so peaceful and innocent as it slept, but I knew it was devious and sly. It was a good thing Mindbender put it to sleep. Since she did, Skarmory wouldn't be able to preform complicated moves or do anything that would do major damage to Mindbender. At least that is how I saw it at the moment. Whether or not I was right I didn't know.

Now I was going to have to use my Calming Fragrance while having Mindbender put Skarmory to sleep as well. That would greatly increase my chances of capturing the steel bird. I wouldn't attack it because it was already at low health and its burn was already taking down damage so I didn't want to add to that. I also noticed that Mindbender didn't use Psych Up on Cybershock, either that or it didn't work like I wanted. I wasn't sure which it was, but it didn't matter anymore. I was going to have to get her to bring up her stats if I wanted her to get even stronger than she already was.

"Alright Mindbender, I want you to do the same to Skarmory. Try to make it hit, I know you can do it." I called out. Praise always worked well with my Pokemon, or any Pokemon for that matter. They always worked better when they feel they're doing right so I tried to give them as much as I could.

Mindbender nodded and began the same process as she did to Swablu. I just hoped it would be enough to put the Skarmory to sleep. While Mindbender began working on that, I pulled out a small vile. It was a fragrance that I had bought before coming on this trip. I had bought four of them. They were supposed to calm the Pokemon down a bit to make them a little easier to catch. Right now, this is what I needed. I opened it and saw the fumes go towards the Swablu and Skarmory. I waited to see what would happen. I wanted Hypnosis to put Skarmory to sleep and for the fragrance to calm both the Swablu and Skarmory down to a capturable level. If that worked, I think that the next time around I could focus on catching it with a Hyperball, one of the strongest Pokeballs the Park had to offer. I always liked going for the strongest things they had, made things a whole lot easier.

If that didn't work, I would probably have to get Mindbender to use her Heal Bell the way the Swablu had to heal both the wild Pokemon, only to prevent the Skarmory from fainting. For now, however, I was going to let Skarmory's burn continue to drain his health. I was hoping I didn't have to do that, but I would if it came to that. That way I'd still have a chance to capture the Skarmory before it fainted. Then I'd have to go find another steel bird. I wasn't sure why, but the Park didn't allow you to capture Pokemon if they fainted, they had to still be kicking and moving when you captured them. It didn't make sense to me, but I followed their rules. Not like I had a choice anyways. ​

 

Both of the wild Pokémon were getting weak; we had to be careful to not knock them out, as the Park Balls refused to work on an unconscious Pokémon..

"First use Psych Up on the Skarmory, and then hit the Swablu with your Hidden Power." Sela's previous Calm Mind attacks boosted the power of all of her attacks; Psych Up would remove the improved power so that she could more freely use her stronger attacks without knocking Swablu out. Skarmory's lowered physical attack power wouldn't harm Sela in the slightest, while the speed and evasiveness would help keep her out of harms way until the Swablu was captured.

Sela closed her eyes and focused on how the Skarmory's battle abilities changed so far (thankfully, the attack was purely mental, and the Skarmory's Double Team made it no more difficult). When she finished the attack, I couldn't notice any difference; Sela had been mostly stationary during the attack, moving almost exclusively by way of Teleport or by recoil from being hit.

My Gardevoir immediately followed up her Psych Up by drawing what seemed to be a dark blue mist out of nowhere. Her Dragon-Type Hidden Power... she had it since she was a Ralts, though only recently has the power been mature enough to be able to tell what type it was; I figured it was her protective nature that gave it power. Sela doesn't easily forgive when someone tries to hurt me directly... though thankfully that hasn't happened recently.

I figured that, without Sela's protective fury, her Hidden Power shouldn't knock out the Swablu, though her strengthened Special Attack worried me at first. We had to finish it quickly (the battle had gone on too long already) but with the Swablu as weak as it was, we had to restrict our power to keep it fighting while preparing for capture...

 

Sela quickly used Psych Up against Skamory. Sela felt something changing, but it wasn't of utmost importance now. A dark blue ball formed in Sela's hands, and it emitted a majestic aura. Sela took a step back on the paved rock roads before launching the attack, as Swablu slept in front of the disappearing tailwind. *

Over at Mindbender and Cameron, Mindbender locked onto the real Skamory, it having a different mind wave than its clones. Just then, a beautiful scent filled the air. Cameron held a vial up high, which read "Calming Fragrance Plus!" Swablu slept more calmly and her dreams of ruling Outer Heaven grew more vivid. All the Skamories started to fly slower, just a tiny bit above the lush, green trees that surrounded the trainer paths. It was then which one suddenly tried to beat its face. Mindbender re-confirmed her target and soon, with that one asleep, the other Skamories started to drift into nothingness. The real Skamory snuggled up on the cold, stiff road as he dreamed, unwary of the battle, though the burning sensation continued in his dreams.*

Mindbender's Hypnosis attack had worked perfectly. Actually, it was better than I had expected. It was a good thing too because the Skarmory didn't look like it could take much more damage. With its burn and sleep status, the chances of me catching it were greater much greater than they were before. It wasn't too great, but it would have to do. I was going to need a little bit of luck to get it in the bag. Luck wasn't something I wanted to count on given the circumstances I was in, but I didn't really have a choice. By the looks of it, I only had two shoots to capture the Steel bird before it was knocked out. If I didn't catch it now, its burn would take it just at the point of passing out, and that would be my second chance before it passed out. They both looked ready for capture, but I just had to work a little on getting Skarmory in the capture zone. I wasn't quite sure how I was going to do that yet, but I had to do it fast before I missed my chance, had to be prepared for it when the time came right.

I pulled out a black and red Pokeball. It was a the best parkball they had to offer. It was pretty strong and was the best in capturing Pokemon. I had a Parkball and Superball, hell, even a Supreme and Master Ball, but a Hyperball seemed like the one to use in this situation. Besides, Supreme and Master were only for Pokemon I really wanted to get quickly. I always enjoyed battling wild Pokemon, made things interesting, kind of like now where the Swablu burned Hotshot with Twister, something I've never seen or heard of before. At least I learned something new here, that was always nice, though the effects weren't but they worked in my favor. Had it not randomly burned Hotshot, I might not have used Cybershock or Mindbender and would still be working on bringing down their health which would have been hard with the burn he sustained.

I tossed over the red and black Hyperball to Mindbender. She caught it in her left arm, knowing what I wanted her to do with it. It was quite simple. I could throw the Hyperball at Skarmory, but there was the chance that I'd miss. If I had Mindbender throw it and navigate it with her Psychic abilities, it would be a more precise aim and a better chance at capturing it. It would make things a whole lot easier and be a much safer way of securing the Skarmory. I had a feeling Siless would also try capturing the Swablu, it seemed like the perfect opportunity. At least to me it did. Both Pokemon were asleep and one was even burned. Sleep makes it much easier to capture Pokemon because it is harder for them to fight back. The low health also makes it easier because it makes it harder for them to break out of the hard Hyperball, or any ball for that matter. I was hoping the burn damage would be enough for me to finally put the flying bird Pokemon in my team. I already had plans for it, I just need to see what moves it knows before using it in battle. I had a general idea fron seeing it battle me here that I was going to need a little work with it. ​

 

OOC: Um.. my CC seems to have doubled since the last posting, and I know that wasn't 6k characters lol. I have my count at 8522 before this post. Unless you're counting Bee's fragrance on mine, which would be -1800 to MCR instead of the full 5k since it's only 20% of MCR maximum. *stops rambling*

Swablu was sleeping soundly, and so was the Skarmory. Cameron used up a bottle of Calming Fragrance Plus, which seemed to put them deeper in their sleep. Both Pokémon were significantly wounded as well. Now seemed the best time for a capture; if it failed, I could hopefully immediately try for another, and the Swablu shouldn't have enough energy to fight back...

I drew a standard Park Ball from my pocket, and readied it for throwing.

"Sela, guide this to the Swablu with your psychic powers." Sela nodded in confirmation; this strategy was normal for us. I usually sat out of the way, so throws were long-range and generally inaccurate without her aid. I threw the Park Ball, knowing that my Gardevoir would help make sure the ball came in contact with Swablu.

 

The two balls rolled on each side. One, two. The whole area was silent. Nothing moved. There was no rustle of leaves I could detect. No thumping footsteps against the dirty rock paved ground. Nothing came from the slowly steepening mountain we had to walk up. It was as if time came to a standstill.

I only heard a click on Siless' side of the field.

The Hyperball was flung at my face, and I winced, giving back to Cameron. Sure, of it had to hit someone's face all the time, why does it always have to be me? I groaned, but then opened my eyes to see Skamory. That was when I noticed a small spark of fire on its face; the spark depleting its health. It wasn't too long until it fainted. I looked at Cameron, as if to ask him what he would do.*

Pretty sure I met the MCR with this post, I hope.

IC: The Skarmory emerged from the ball, still asleep and burned. I knew it was still burned because when it came out the steel bird roared in pain. The burn also brought down the health to the dangerously low point. The Hyperball came out and flew straight to our Ranger's face. It sounded like it hurt a bit. Swablu on the other hand had had enough and was now resting in the Parkball Siless had threw. Now the Skarmory couldn't rely on the sly Swablu for what to do, even though it was asleep and it wouldn't be much help anyways.

"Congrats!" I called out happily. He had finally captured the Swablu. Now that the fluffy blue wing cloud Pokemon was out of the way, capturing the Skarmory should be much easier. However, I felt so much pressure. I was good at reading signs of Pokemon and could easily tell when they were about to faint from exhaustion. This Skarmory could not take another attack, let alone any more burn damage. If it did, it would surely faint from low health and I would be struck out of luck. At this point I was thinking about using my Supreme Parkball. It was almost as good as a Masterball. I knew that that would definitely secure my Pokemon. Though, I felt that using another Hyperball would do the trick. If it didn't then I would probably regret not using the Supreme Parkball, even if it was the only one I had.

My Ranger handed me back my Hyperball that had hit her in the face. I quickly nodded and continued looking at the Skarmory. If I took too long waiting, the burn damage would surely knock it out before I got the chance to throw my Hyperball again. This was my final chance to get the Skarmory in the ball and onto my team. No pressure or anything. I just took a deep breath.

Part of me wanted to give the Skarmory some of the healing potions I had brought, but I knew wild untamed Pokemon wouldn't take stuff like this from us humans. At least if they did it'd be rare and they would have to be really friendly. Chances of finding those were slim to none. Though, some Pokemon on this island seemed more friendly than the wild ones on other places, so it just might work, that and the fact that it was asleep and somewhat unaware of what it was doing.

I looked at the red and black Hyperball and was about to throw it. I was a bit hesitant about it, and wanted to let Mindbender throw it again, but I felt like I had to do this one this time. I knew I could make it, but that wasn't the point. I readied my aim.

If I see it go off balance or you miss, I'll redirect it towards him. Mindbender said to me telepathically.

Thanks for the confidence! I replied sarcastically.

I know you'll make it, but you never know, the wind could knock it off or something could happen. She said, trying to make it sound better.

Yeah, I guess, I said, If I don't make this shot or it doesn't stay in the ball, it will definitely faint.

I was getting the same readings. She said. I just nodded, brought my arm back, and threw the Hyperball at a pretty fast speed. I watched and waited to see if the ball would hit the Skarmory, and more importantly, if it would take it in and be a successful capture.​

 

The battle was essentially over. Skarmory would faint if it wasn't captured, and Swablu had been caught and taken out of the fight. I didn't know how Cameron's Gardevoir felt, but Sela looked a bit tired.

"Alright, we're done Sela. Let's rest up." My Gardevoir nodded and closed her eyes, another star shooting directly over her head. Her Wishes were useful; it kept us from having to constantly use items to heal, with the only resource used being time.

Since Sela was the only Pokémon I used in the battle, I didn't have to worry about healing the others. I'd probably give her a break in the next battle or the one after though; she enjoys watching battles as well as being in them, and I might as well let her indulge in both.

 

The ball now clicked, and inside was a Skamory. I picked it up and put it in my bag with Swablu, only being able to let the trainers claim it when they were leaving. I firstly encoded the DNA of the two trainers in their individual balls first, though, to make sure of it somehow gets lost I could track it down.

"Congrats! You caught it." I said to Cameron, who seemed quite relieved himself. I looked around us. There were two paths available: Up the mountain, or on the ground.

"Would you like to go up the mountain or keep on the ground? The mountain has rarer and stronger Pokemon, though." I said, and waited for the two trainers to reply. Personally, I would prefer up, since the view up there was simply entrancing. There was also... sightings... of some very rare Pokemon there.

"Congrats! You caught it." She said to me. Hearing that sound of the ball clicking shut made me feel good. I had actually managed to catch it which was a huge relief on my part since the Skarmory was about to faint.

"Good job Mindbender, now you use Wish. Cybershock, you use Recover." I called out. As soon as they did that I would put them back in their Pokeballs. Shadow nudged my leg and barked happily. "Thanks! Almost didn't think I was going to get it." I said to Shadow.

"Would you like to go up the mountain or keep on the ground? The mountain has rarer and stronger Pokemon, though." She said. Rarer Pokemon did sound nice, but the only things I wanted now was a Swablu, Drifloon, or Farfetch'd, either of those would be nice. I was about to say something, but then I decided I should let Siless decide.

"Where do you want to go?" I asked Siless.​

 

Rare Pokémon would be nice, but there was a lot of even the most common Pokémon I didn't have. That, and after the deal with Swablu, I thought we should take it slow...

I would've asked Cameron where he wanted to go, but... he beat me to it.

"The battle caught us off guard a bit. I think we should stay on the lower path for a while. If nothing else, it'll keep our energy up for when we find something we want." The Swablu seemed to be unusually powerful; I was a bit worried about what else might show up at this rate...

 

I nodded, sighing a bit, although it was better not to bump into a Salamence or close to it. I shuddered when I thought of heat would happen. I started to trod down the slope, and Csmeron, followed by Siless not far behind.

The path had the towering mountain to the left, and rainforest to the right. The mountain was reddish-brown, and rock hard. The rainforest provided, sights, smells, and homes for the Flying Pokemon.

It was then did I hear a hooting sound. I looked left to see a Hoothoot talking to another. Both Hoothoots also noticed us at the same time. One squeaked softly before edging away, only to be pulled back by its companion, in battle stance.

"Want to battle these?"*

"No, I'm good." I said. I brought out a Pokedoll that I was prepared to throw if we could not flee the Hoothoot. I was going to hold off though until Siless stated if he wanted it or not, though I already knew the answer. I wasn't really in the mood for one of these, or to battle it. I just wanted to get by it and keep my Pokemon from having to battle. I wondered what else we'd find, hopefully it would be something interesting. I was hoping we didn't run into an Aerodactyl or anything too rare, something that was pretty easy to catch and on my list was fine with me.​

 

"I'd like to pass... So many of these things back home." Cameron was ready to go as well; he already had a Pokedoll out to distract the pair of owls so we could go on. I hadn't brought anything of the sort with me. Cameron seemed to be much more experienced in going through the Park than I was... Still, I was learning. Next time, I'd bring a few dolls or another way to distract Pokémon to escape from them. Right now, I should probably just watch Cameron and learn from what he does.

Right now, I have to focus on being prepared for whatever comes next, whether it be more Hoothoot or a Pokémon of legends.

 

"Okay." I said, and suddenly, the more jumpier Hoothoot flew away, its companion following. Does every *Pokemon have a leader and accomplice?

It was the that I noticed something strange. If Hoothoot was active, it must be night. Then why was it sunny? I didn't have to think about it too long, though, for just then two Pokemon came flying our way.

A Starly was playing with a Drifloon, its beak holding onto the little, thin legs of it. The Drifloon relaxed as the Starly pulled it. I remembered that Drifloon and Drifblim liked to be pulled by Starly, Staravia and Staraptor due to their speed. At night, these Pokemon would use Sunny Day to see their route clearly.

The Drifloon signaled to the Starly to stop, and Starly halted. Drifloon freed itself from Starly's grip and investigated the two humans. It was particularly interested in the Houndoom, having not seen a Pokemon like it in its whole life. It had no intention of harming the Pokemon, however. The Drifloon was quite peaceful and obedient. Its partner, Starly waited for Drifloon or the humans to act towards it.
