The Finneon's Secret Power attack had put Trypticon severly off-balance. It wobbled around like a spun disc that was rapidly losing its balance. Cameron saw what was happening and he wisely recalled his Starmie. He summoned his Gardevoir, Mindbender. Like Trypticon, Mindbender had been on Cameron's team last time he had come through the Great Lakes. My Gallade, Dual, had taken a liking to Mindbender and spent practically the whole run showing off.

I scolded myself mentally and wrenched my mind back to the battle. Now wasn't the time to reminisce. Not with four Pokemon all running around fighting each other.

Mindbender had multiple glowing green orbs rotating around her body - I had seen enough Hidden Power attacks that I knew instinctively this one was Grass type. It was a strong choice for taking on the Luvdisc. Or, more accurately, the multiple Luvdisc.

Mindbender launched the spheres in all directions. Each one homed in on a different Luvdisc clone, and when they made contact, they exploded silently, destroying the clones. One of the orbs hit the real Luvdisc, and instead of exploding, it knocked it into the air. The Luvdisc re-entered the lake with a large splash just as Cameron threw a Super Ball at it.

I was impressed with the co-ordination that Cameron showed with his Pokemon. I knew it took work to perfect your timing, and it seemed Cameron had taken lots of time to perfect his.

Unfortunately, he seemed to have already forgotten that he was in a double battle. As soon as he threw the ball, the little Finneon headbutted it away. It flew away from the Luvdisc, and the ball's auto-return protocols activated. It landed firmly back in Cameron's hand.

The Finneon seemed to laugh at Cameron, but Alaska and Ryuu were bearing down fast on it. Ryuu pulled back his right claw, and purple energy gathered around it. When he was right behind the little fish, he swiped it viciously. But before he could do so a second time, the Luvdisc launched a Hydro Pump attack at Ryuu. The huge lance of water knocked Ryuu off balance, sending Alaska flying through the air.

"Catch her, Specialle!" I called, and Specialle lifted her hands towards Alaska. They were surrounded by a dark nimbus - I recognised her Gravity altering abilities and their visual effects.

Before Alaska could hit the water, she suddenly found herself floating in midair. I almost asked Specialle to deposit her in the boat, but I waited. Perhaps she wanted to be put back on Ryuu again.

"Damn, I missed" I grumbled. That Finneon got in my way. I didn't want to attack it because Alaska was battling it, but I couldn't have it getting in my way. I looked at the Finneon. It was obviously moving faster than the Luvdisc since I paralyzed, I was thinking of doing the same to the wild Finneon.

"Mindbender, you're doing excellent. Now I want you to shoot a Thunderwave into the water." I called out. I knew it wouldn't hurt Alaska's Garchomp, which gave me another idea. "After you do that, try shooting a Thunderbolt into the water, that should do some good damage to them." Mindbender nodded as she created a blue ball of electricity and heaved it in between Luvdics and Finneon. Seconds after launching it, she began charging a Thunderbolt attack that she quickly fired.

"This is it." I thought to myself. I pulled out a Parkball this time, aiming it carefully at the Luvdisc. "Mindbender, can you guide the ball with your psychic powers to make sure it his." She nodded as I threw the ball. I waited eagerly to see what was going to happen.​

 

As soon as Ryuu used Dragon Claw on the Finneon, it turned on us and attacked us with an incredibly powerful Hydro Pump. The force of the attack sent me flying through the air. For a moment, I panicked, but quickly overcame my senses and found myself floating in the air. Chainy's Pokemon had caught me. I looked down to make sure Ryuu was okay and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that he was.

"Can you put me back on Ryuu's back?" I asked. Chainy's Dusknoir carefully lowered me down onto my Garchomp's back. "Thanks," I said. I leaned in close to Ryuu and whispered, "Can you keep battling? I don't think Sparks can swim, but I don't want you to get hurt."

Ryuu nodded ferociously and glared at the Finneon.

"Use Crunch again and try to keep it in your mouth as long as you can or at least stay right alongside it. After you attack it, I'm gonna tap it with this." I pulled a park ball out of my pocket and tightened my grip around it. "Ready?"

Ryuu nodded again and began swimming towards the Finneon so fast, he seemed to be flying. As we approached, I got ready to push the park ball against the Finneon.

"Can you put me back on Ryuu's back?" Alaska asked.

I nodded, and Specialle lowered her back onto the Garchomp. As she did so, her hands began trembling. It was almost unnoticeable, but I'd been training with her for a long time. She had a tendency to overwork herself without saying anything.

"Specialle, take a rest," I said, and she nodded silently before returning herself to her PokeBall. I patted her PokeBall gently, and I could have sworn it vibrated.

I realised that I'd have to keep an eye on Alaska. She seemed to be the type who frequently gets into trouble. I watched as she whispered into Ryuu's ear, and the dragon Pokemon shot off towards the Finneon, who was swimming in circles around the Luvdisc.

Something about the way these two Pokemon protected each other turned on a lightbulb in my mind. They must be related in some way - the Luvdisc was probably the Finneon's father.

Ryuu reached the Finneon and swept it up in his jaws. Instead of biting down hard, though, he held it in his mouth, and Alaska started carefully moving towards it with a Park Ball outstretched in her hand.

I randomly remembered Cameron. I looked back over to him, and I saw Mindbender shoot a Thunder Wave towards the fighters. I didn't have to worry about the other lake inhabitants - Thunder Wave was a weak pulse of electricity, and it'd fade away before reaching any other Pokemon. Apparently Cameron had decided to try and paralyze the Finneon as well. Whether it was to stop the Finneon from interfering with his capture attempt or he was simply trying to help Alaska, I didn't know. But something was wrong.

I realised it as Mindbender started charging a Thunderbolt. Ground type Pokemon weren't immune to electric attacks in water!

Dual had been in near-constant mental contact with me ever since he evolved from a Ralts into a Kirlia. Even when he was inside his PokeBall as he was now, our link meant we were always unconciously sharing thoughts and information. The very millisecond I realised the travesty that was about to happen, Dual exploded out of his PokeBall and he sprinted across the water towards Mindbender, using his telekinetic abilities to literally walk on water.

By now, the Thunder Wave had reached the others. The electric attack passed by the Luvdisc relatively unharmed, as it was already paralyzed. But then the wave reached Ryuu. He growled as the electricity passed through him and into the Finneon. Alaska would also be shocked, but it was nowhere near a lethal ampage.

I wasn't paying attention to her, though. Dual sprinted towards Mindbender, and he was maybe two metres from her when she fired the lance of lightning.

With one last burst of speed, Dual put himself in front of the Thunderbolt. He held out one hand towards the lightning bolt, and the bolt hit the hand. Dual then grimaced, and pointed his other hand up into the sky. The lightning bolt lanced up into the sky and made a cracking thunder-sound before disappearing.

Like before, even though the first part of Mindbender's combo had been messed up, she continued with the second part. A ParkBall streaked towards the Luvdisc, and it was sucked inside with a red flash. The ball floated on the surface of the water as the Luvdisc struggled inside.

I looked back over at Alaska. She had struggled her way to the Finneon, and she gently tapped the little fish with a ParkBall. The fish was sucked into the sphere, and the ParkBall began shaking in her hand.

Half a minute later, at the same time, both spheres stopped shaking, and the pressure button on the front glowed red. Both captures were successful.

OOC: Oi, sorry I took so long. Wasn't really all that busy. Throwing the ball right before the new system comes into play kind of sucks, expecially since now I'll probably have to go on an epic action-packed mini-adventure in order to catch that damn Omanyte since I'm too cheap to buy one from the mart.

Thanks again!
----
Daniel was an okay guy most of the time, but his rage power was equal to that of an atomic bomb. “AGGGGH! Fine! You better run, don’t let me catch you around here again, or it’ll be worse! YEAH! I DIDN’T WANT TO CATCH YOU ANYWAYS! HEY, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!? GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT LIKE A MAN, YOU NO GOOD SON OF A-”

Thankfully, a swift slap in the face from Raiguy’s tail was all it took to calm Daniel down. Raiguy rolled his eyes, and then went to chase after the Omanyte. If there was one thing he knew about his trainer, or even humans in general, it was they didn’t mean half the stuff they said when they were angry. He knew Daniel wanted Omanyte for his own, and was determined to help him out.

Raiguy kept on running until he caught up with Omanyte. Rather than attacking, he simply surveyed the area to see if there was something he could use to block the lake so that Omanyte couldn’t escape. It was then when he heard a sound. The sound that a waterfall makes. A sound that was coming from no more than 250 meters away. Quickly, Raiguy ran back to Daniel, jumping and shouting out of panic.

“What is it boy?” said Daniel, “Did Timmy fall down the old well again!? I told him not to mess around near that well, but does he ever listen to me? Then again, they should probably close it off to the public and…hey, my Park Ball!” he said, picking it up.

Raiguy couldn’t spare Daniel the time to translate. He grabbed his leg using some fancy tail action, and then dashed off in the direction of the waterfall using Agility. They were going so fast, Daniel hardly even touched the ground.

They stopped a few dozen meters ahead of Omanyte. “Well, what is it? Not like there’s much we can do to catch it now…is that a waterfall I hear?”

Daniel couldn’t have been more right. A few feet away were raging rapids, followed by a steep drop. “OH GOD! We have to do something!” He looked around desperately and saw a log. He threw it into the lake, but it was devoured by the rushing waters. One more glance around the area revealed a cluster of roots sticking out of the side of the lake. “Raiguy, sorry to do this…”

Daniel then did quite possibly the stupidest thing he had ever done since fishing with dynamite. He grabbed Raiguy by the tail, swung him around like an Olympic hammer thrower, and released him with amazing timing. He went soaring through the air, just as Omanyte was passing by. He wrapped his tail around the shellfish and grabbed the roots. But would he be able to keep his grip on Omanyte, and furthermore, would he be able to keep his grip on the roots? Raiguy tried to turn Omanyte around so he’d swim upstream, but all efforts seemed useless at this point. Omanyte probably thought Raiguy was attacking him. Daniel would too if he hadn’t been there.

Daniel looked around, trying to find a way to save the both of them. The river wasn’t narrow enough for him to jump or reach across, and all he could find was a stick that wasn’t long enough to grab them. Just then, he had an idea. He took off his shirt, pants and socks, tying them together to create a rope. He then made a fishing-rod like contraption out of that and the stick. “Good thing I decided to wear boxers today.”

A teenage boy attempting to fish with a rod made of his own clothes wearing nothing but underwear and glasses wasn’t something you’d see every day, and the ranger probably thought Daniel was crazy. Heck, even HE thought he was crazy! He’d endangered the life of his somewhat-loyal partner, nearly killed an innocent Pokémon bystander, and was standing half naked in the middle of the national park! He thrust the fishing rod foreword, and just in time too.

Raiguy’s arms were about to give way when he caught one of his master’s sweaty socks in his mouth.

“Now THIS is what I call fishing!” said Daniel, attempting to pull them in.

OOC AGAIN: Hope this is within the rules XD
Also, can Omanyte be a girl?

 

OOC: Fail post :x​

"Great job Mindbender, that was a great performance!" I called out happily as the Luvdisc floated in the water. She hugged me and sat in the back of the boat. I pulled out her Pokeball and walked over to her.

"You want to go back in or stay out?" I asked. I figured she would want to rest inside her Pokeball, but then realized that she could do the same without being in it.

"No, I want to stay out, regardless of whether I battle or not, its quite relaxing." I nodded in agreement, and with that, I tossed Trypticon's Pokeball into the water as the Starfish Pokemon happily swam around the boat. I knew he'd want to swim around in this lake, and plus, he deserved it for helping me with that battle. I sat down on the boat next to Shadow. "Great way to start off this trip right?" I said as I patted his head. He nodded happily, but I could see that he was still a bit nervous. "It's okay, you'll get used to it soon enough, hell, you could even like it despite being a fire type and all. Who knows." He raised his left eye brow and shook his head.

"Here, I'll fix this." Mindbender said as she snapped her fingers.

"I don't think I'll get used to it anytime soon." Shadow said telepathically. He sounded a bit uneasy. "It's just not my thing."

"Yeah, I guess not, but you still never know." I said. I didn't want to pressure him in doing something he didn't want to do, but I wanted him to get over his fear of the water.I knew this probably wouldn't happen on this trip, but I was hopeful. I knew that sooner or later he would get over that fear.

I looked over the lake, it was pretty calm right now which I liked. I wondered about how many water Pokemon were in this lake, floating just underneath us. There were so many great Water Pokemon here, but finding the right ones was going to be the hard part. Right now, the only thing I wanted was a Slowpoke, Horsea, or Clamperl, but there were others that I would try and catch if they came my way. What I would do with them is another story. Nonetheless, I'd take care of them at least, or give them to people that I know will. What sucked was that I could only take three Pokemon, I guess it was just a selfish thought, but any Pokemon collector like myself would want more and more Pokemon. Even though I had a lot, I still cared for each one of them and spent time a lot of time with each of them.

I thought about the battle I was just in and realized that I needed to work better with Alaska and have better communication skills so that we could easily catch the Pokemon next time one came around. If not, I could hurt her Pokemon, and that's the last thing I wanted to do. Maybe Mindbender could let me communicate with her telepathically during the next battle so that we can easily tell what the other is doing and be prepared for it.

"Maybe we should try the shoreline?" I called out to Alaska and Chainy. I didn't know what was over there, but I hoped it would be something interesting. I wanted to find something big, just not big like that Kingdra we encountered in my previous park trip. ​

Apparently my Trainer was a hyperactive one. The Omanyte was trying to flee, so the Trainer flung his Raichu at the Omanyte, and then the Raichu steered it back to land. The Trainer quickly constructed a fishing rod out of his clothes and reeled the Raichu in.

I rubbed my eyes, just to make sure what I was seeing was actually happening. But apparently it was. I sighed, mentally preparing myself for one of the weirder runs I've been on.

Raichu beached the Omanyte and jumped back onto the beach. It started yapping proudly at its Trainer and pointing at the Omanyte, as if to draw attention to his feat.

The Raichu's victory was cut short by the Omanyte shooting a giant Hydro Pump at the electric mouse.

Daniel seemed to notice the Hydro Pump attack before Raiguy. "YOU GOTTA DODGE, RAIGUY!" he screamed, putting his shirt back on.

Raiguy must've heard this, since he immediately stepped to the side, leaning into the Hydro Pump ever so slightly to take a refreshing drink of water.

If only Daniel had been so fast as to avoid the attack. He was drenched by the Hydro Pump, not to mention knocked right over. Had he not been at such a far distance, he would’ve sustained major injuries. Knocked over… he thought, Maybe I should give ol’ Omanyte here a taste of its own medicine…

"Use Quick Attack on Omanyte's side to knock it over! There's not much it can do if it can't get up!" Daniel commanded.

Raiguy disappeared in the blink of an eye, reappearing only to make contact with Omanyte’s side.

“Now, jump onto Omanyte!” Daniel yelled, “Make sure it can’t get up!” Some might’ve called this playing dirty, but Daniel wasn’t about to let this pristine fossilized beauty get away from him.

"Finally Raiguy, use Sweet Kiss! That way she won't know WHAT it's doing, which might make it easier to catch."

At first Raiguy was hesitant, because really, who wants to kiss a snail, but then he remembered that he wouldn't actually have to make lip contact. He blew a kiss in its direction.

OOC: Sorry for a lousy post, kind of in a rush.

OOC: It was a fine post. Better than a lot of mine.

~~~~~

Raiguy stepped to the left, avoiding the Hydro Pump. Cheekily, he put his head in just far enough to take a drink. It was a risky maneuver - he could easily be knocked backwards by the powerful stream of water.

"Use Quick Attack on Omanyte's side to knock it over! There's not much it can do if it can't get up!" Daniel called.

Raiguy blurred into action, turning into an orange streak. He smacked into the Omanyte, pushing it over.

"Now, jump onto Omanyte! Make sure it can't get up!" Daniel yelled. He then commanded a Sweet Kiss.

The Raichu jumped up on top of the Omanyte, pinning it with his not inconsiderable bulk. As he secured the Omanyte, he blew a kiss at the Omanyte. The Omanyte seemed a little confused. Rather than try to attack, she withdrew into her shell, protecting herself from attack.

OOC: Ah, screw it.

"Alright Raichu, good job!” Daniel said, pumping his fist in the air, “Now, use Charm, this battle has gone on WAY to long…”

Raiguy got up off Omanyte, bowing its head. It apologized in Pokémon language and asked it it would be ever so kind to forgive him for his awful behavior. He told the snail Pokémon that he no longer wished to fight with her anymore, and thought it was best if they went their separate ways. He asked for forgiveness for all the wrongs he committed, putting Omanyte through all that strife.

Raiguy began to walk away, hoping that Omanyte wouldn’t come looking for revenge, wishing he could have just KO'd the thing and be rid of it.

Daniel followed. “C’mon, ranger guy!” he said, putting his clothes back on, “My name’s Daniel, and you are? If there's a dresscode or something here, I'll put my clothes back on.”

Daniel slipped back into his shirt, pants, socks and shoes, and kept walking.

Daniel had obviously decided that the Omanyte wasn't worth the trouble. He commanded Raichu to use Charm to try and earn the Omanyte's forgiveness. Raiguy bowed his head and murmured apologies to the Omanyte. Once that was done, he walked away from the Omanyte and over to us.

I watched the Omanyte closely in case it decided to launch an attack at Raiguy. But it decided discretion was the better part of valour, so it slinked away into the water before diving deep into the lake.

"C'mon, Ranger guy!" Daniel exclaimed as he began putting his clothes back on. "My name's Daniel, and you are?"

"Ranger Chainy," I replied, smiling at him.

He finished putting his clothes back on, and then he led me along the edge of the lake. On the other side of the lake was a small forest. There were a few forests in the Great Lakes, but they were quite rare, and only near the freshwater lakes.

As we walked, I spotted a sleeping Gyarados in the shallows barely fifty metres away partially hidden behind some rocks. I pointed it out.

"Want that?" I asked Daniel.

Daniel noticed his ranger point out a long, blue, serpent like Pokémon which he identified as a Gyarados. Cautiously, he took a few steps towards it, being careful not to wake it up. "Another one?" he laughed quietly, "I caught a Gyarados earlier today, and it wasn't easy mind you. I don't feel like going through all that trouble for a Pokémon I already have, so let's leave it. I can't believe how lucky I am to run into two of these things, though!"

Daniel approached the sleeping Gyarados, examining it. "Even if it is much younger than the last one, we should probably go..." he said, "Before the big guy wakes up anyways. I think we’ve explored this cave enough, so let’s get outta here!"

Daniel impatiently bolted to the exit of the cave, Raiguy close behind. They nearly fell into the river that flowed through it. Panting, he yelled, “I hope Gyarados over there’s a heavy sleeper!” and laughed quietly to himself.

Daniel stood at the edge of the river when he noticed a forest on the other side, not too far from where they stood. Daniel new that where there’s a forest, there were Pokémon, but he couldn’t figure out how to get across other than swimming, and without a Surfing Pokémon, it was a risk he didn’t want to take. “Okay, you’re the ranger, Chainy, how to you suppose we get across without getting devoured by savage Magikarps?”

“Okay, you’re the ranger, Chainy, how to you suppose we get across without getting devoured by savage Magikarps?” Daniel asked me.

I snorted with laughter.

"Well, the lake isn't that deep," I replied. "We could probably swim across."

I put a finger to my visor, and I projected a hologram of the surrounding area out in front of me. One of the cooler things my visor could do. It was also really handy for helping Trainers to make their decisions, like right now. The hologram showed that we were at the southern end of a small lake, and not far from us a river fed the lake. Upriver there was a small dock where we could probably hire a boat, and that would give us fairly permanent access to water travel. Otherwise, there was a bridge crossing the lake over on the north-western side. That would be a good twenty minutes walk, but it would get us over to the cluster of trees.

I explained the other two choices to Daniel, showing him on the hologram where both the bridge and the mini-dock was. What I didn't tell him was that my Swampert, Smash, could Surf us across. This was because Rangers weren't allowed to help out Trainers with problems like this unless the situation was dire.

OOC: Bee asked me to move on. I'm guessing you've been busy, Alaska, but you need to post again before we can move on.

~~~~~

We decided to head back to the shoreline. Apparently the electric shock Cameron had given Alaska had been mild, because no comments were made. I was expecting the... strange... Alaska to flip out at Cameron because of it. But then again, perhaps she enjoyed it. I knew people that found being mildly electrocuted pleasurable.

I shook my head, clearing my mind of thoughts like that. Now certainly wasn't the time, not on my first Team Run.

The two Pokemon and the boat cut swiftly through the water, approaching the shoreline. This shore wasn't the same one we had left from, rather, one on the western side of the lake. Near here was where Cameron and I had run across an Uxie previously. I could almost see the mini-forest further North, but I couldn't be sure. There was a slight mist hanging about in the air.

When we were about two hundred metres out from the edge, I heard some strange echoing cries. I looked around, and I saw two Pokemon approaching us, a Dratini and a Dragonair. The Dragonair flew gracefully above the waves, but the Dratini was having trouble doing so. It could only hover above the surface of the lake for every three waves or so before falling back into the water.

I pointed them out to Alaska and Cameron.

"Do you guys want to try either of them?" I called out.

OCC: Yeah, just so I can see what the next Mons were. I won't leave ya :] Also, there go my MCR :[

IC: We were close to reaching the shore when we heard strange crying sound coming towards us. "Do either of you want them?" Chainy asked. I shook my head and pulled out a Pokedoll, readying myself to throw it. I waited to see if Alaska wanted it, if not then I would throw it. I saw sparks coming off of her Garchomp, and realized that it was because of me.

"Mindbender, can you use Heal Bell to cure Ryuu from his status condition." I said. Mindbender nodded and clapped her hands together. She closed her eyes and blue waves came off her body. I hoped that this would work and clear Ryuu from his paralysis. As I waited to see the effect, I took out my camera and raised it in front of me. I was going to try and take a picture of Dragonair.

OOC: I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SORRY. I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE INTERNET IN DISNEYWORLD, BUT I DIDN'T. 0_0

As we sped off across the lake, my body still tingled with electricity.

"I feel sparkly," I told Ryuu, "Do I look sparkly?"

He shook his head.

"Good. Sparkles are for two kinds of people: Communists and Merpeople. I am neither."

I thought I saw Ryuu roll his eyes, but I couldn't be sure. Suddenly, a Dratini and a Dragonair zoomed by. The Dragonair seemed almost as though it were teaching the Dratini to fly.

"Do you guys want to try either of them?" Chainy asked.

I saw Bumbles shake his head and pulled out a Pokedoll. He looked at me expectantly.

"Nah, I don't want either of them. They're endangered aren't they? It seems kind of wrong to take them out of the wild."

I looked to see what the effect of the Pokedoll would be on the Dratini and Dragonair, but Bumbles only said, "Mindbender, can you use Heal Bell to cure Ryuu from his status condition?"

His Gardevoir nodded and a glowing blue light connected her and Ryuu. Ryuu made a purring noise as the sparks that covered his body started to disappear.

OOC: It's no problem, you went dark during my holidays so I didn't mind Also, Bee, the escape roll was successful so I didn't deduct a PokeDoll.

~~~~~

The pair of Dragon Pokemon both circled us as we moved. The Dragonair keened a greeting but didn't approach us. It watched as the young Dratini half swum half flew towards Ryuu. It moved close to him and seemed to be smelling him. Apparently satisified, it moved back out to the Dragonair. It looped around the end of the Dragonair's tail.

The Dragonair bade us farewell in its mysterious voice, and it rose majestically up into the air, disappearing into the fog. It wasn't often that you came across Dragon Pokemon in the Great Lakes, and when you did it usually wasn't good news. It was nice to meet some that weren't rampaging.

As we approached the shoreline, the fog thinned. When we stepped back onto land, I pressed a button on the boat that caused it to start emitting a radio signal. Now other Rangers would know that there was a boat here in case they needed it, and if it stayed here for a while it would be recovered before the elements could damage it.

We walked further away from the entrance, along the edge of the Lake. Smash was happily swimming in the lake alongside us, and Ryuu and Mindbender walked quietly alongside their Trainers. On the other hand, Shadow was openly happy, and even puppy-ish, at being back on dry land.

After walking for five minutes, we came across two baby Azurill playing in a little tidepool at the edge of the lake. They were splashing each other with water happily. One had found a starfish and was wearing it on its head.

"Either of you want to catch an Azurill?" I offered.

OOC: Guessing my picture failed xD?

IC: The Dragonair and Dratini left us. I was kind of glad they didn't want to battle and weren't like other Dragon Pokemon I had encountered. I remembered the last time I came here, Dual, Chainy's Gallede, had fought off a Kingdra, and even more fearsome, a Kyorge. When we had finally reached the land, Shadow shoot like a rocket off of the boat. He was sure happy to be on the land instead of the water. I knew that one of these days I would help him overcome that fear of being in the water.

About five minutes or so after walking on the land, we came across two Azurill who were happily playing in the water. They looked so happy playing with each other, I didn't want to bother them.

"Either of you want to catch an Azurill?" Chainy asked. I shook my head. I looked at them and figured one of them might like a Pokedoll. I pulled one out and prepared myself to place it down for one of them to grab.​

 

Ryuu seemed oddly quiet after the Dragonair and Dratini left. I was glad when we got off the boat and spotted two tiny Azurill. They would distract Ryuu so he wouldn't be quite so sad.

"Either of you want to catch an Azurill?" Chainy asked.

Bumbles shook his head and I did the same. "I don't need an Azurill right now," I said, "I've heard they attract plesiosaurs. They're their favorite food, after all." I stared meaningfully off into the distance.

"I don't need an Azurill right now," Alaska said, "I've heard they attract plesiosaurs. They're their favorite food, after all." She then stared off into the lake, as if trying to locate some.

I took a tiny step backwards. I had a strange feeling that Alaska's Pokemon had a full job on their hands keeping their Trainer out of trouble.

Cameron lowered a PokeDoll towards the Azurill, and the one wearing the starfish squealed with delight. It grabbed the Clefairy-shaped doll with its mouth and ran away from the lake, squealing with delight. The other Azurill chased it, trying to grab the doll off its friend.

The squealing attracted some unwanted attention. A large Azumarill surfaced from under the lake. It looked over to see the Azurill running away squealing. It scowled and growled angrily at us. Apparently it thought we had scared away the Azurill. This Azumarill was probably the parent or elder sibling of the two Azurill.

A passing Politoed was attracted by all the noise, and so it swam over to the Azumarill. The two of them communicated for a little bit using croaks, growls, and yaps. Once they were done they both climbed up onto the bank and assumed battle poses.

"I think these two want to battle you," I said to Alaska and Cameron.
