Brolis's Journey
Topic Started: Mar 28 2009, 08:00 PM (3,561 Views)
♣Alternia♣

Maji was at first astounded by the obvious ammount of Damage that Kaine had been able to deal to Arcanine. He smiled, it was definitely a good thing he taught his pokemon to use spark, it was a useful move for later. That was when he realized that Plat had been able to perfect Water Gun. That was perfect! And before he could even get his idea out, Brolis developed his own plan.

Maji nodded to his partner in this battle, "Alright, you took the plan right out of my mouth... brain.. thing." Maji said with a slight chuckle before looking over to Kaine and projecting his voice. "Kaine! I want you to get on the opposite side of Arcanine and when you see that Plat is going to use Water Gun, rapidly dash using Spark to deliver some damage. After Arcanine's fur is all wet, use a second Spark to finish this battle up here and now!" Maji ordered, smirking as he waited for the results.

Kaine nodded and prepared to launch as he looked towards Arcanine and growled to himself. Immediately sparks began surrounding his fur, electricity pounding through his vains as he readied himself to perform Spark TWICE at full-strength.

As the two of you ordered, Plat and Kaine let out their attacks. However, out of bad timing and the target being just far enough, something didn't go as planned. The spark and the water gun combined, making a beautiful, sparkling image in the sunlight. However, you didn't even get to enjoy it fully before flyer slapped into your face.

Before any of you two could take off the flyer, the attack already the Arcanine. The Arcanine was now knocked over and paralyzed. To add to that, your two oppounents seemed to still be in shock of the beauty of your attack. It did some damage too! The two pokemon, who were also amazed by their creation, tried it again. However, despite actually trying it this time, the water hit the Arcanine first before they merged. Luckily, the last attacks hit the Arcanine's soft spot, the belly, which gave it the extra boost to finish the fire dog off. The couple sighed, but smiled.

"I guess I'm not good enough for you youngsters!" The man said, giving a little chuckle. The lady smiled, pushing up her glasses before reaching into her purse.

"As we promised, here's your pay, chaps." She happily gave you 250 a piece. The two packed up and left before you could say another word to them. Probably off to spend more money. Anyways, back to the flyer that had hit your face from before.

The 100th Annual Tournament of Aegis
 


On June 1st, 2009, Alternia will be holding its 100th annual Tournament of Aegis. The Tournament allows people to enter up to three Pokemon. Matches are organized randomly, and entrants will be allowed to use each of their three Pokemon in the fights. However, it is only one-on-one combat. Two or more Pokemon on the field results in immediate disqualification. The Tournament is divided into multiple tiers based on skill level. There are 24 possible tiers, but this year, estimated funds will only be enough to support five of them. We will be fielding trainers from Tiers 1-4. Tier 5 will host all trainers more skilled than those in Tier 4. If no one enters your tier, you will be put into a lower tier with a handicap. The Tournament charges a fee of $100 that pays for mass transit to the facilities from all three major cities, the facilities themselves, and the prizes. This year's prizes will be the following:

  • 1st Place: Trophy, $2000, and a Tier X 1st Place Badge
  • 2nd Place: Trophy, 2 Ultra Balls, a Great Ball, and a Tier X 2nd Place Badge
  • 3rd Place: Medal, One Great Ball, One Specialty Ball, and a Tier X 3rd Place Badge
  • 4th Place: Tier X 4th Place Badge
  • 5th Place: Tier X 5th Place Badge

The Tournament will be held at the foot of the Joukai Tower. Legend says that this Tournament gives the legendary Pokemon of Emotion, Mesprit, Knowledge, Uxie, and Willpower, Azelf, the power to keep Alternia safe. This tournament will also keep the Joukai Tower a place of peace and calm. The excitement, strategy, and desire of the trainers and their Pokemon makes the source of the three fairies' power regain its strength. Thus, this is the Tournament of Aegis, the tournament that keeps Alternia safe. Legend also states that this tournament revives the power of other artifacts of power that keep the power of legendary Pokemon at their peak.

Do you have what it takes to be in the legendary Tournament of Aegis? Registration tables open on May 31st at the Joukai Tower Arena. Be there!


Well, that's quite interesting! Seems you're already getting ready for it too with that intense battle you had just seconds before!

Now, you dudes said something about....Kai Jutsu? I like Naruto too, but even I don't go blurting out random stuff. Soooo.....we'll go where I want to go! Kijutsu! It was a little uneventful, but once you did get there and got your pokemon healed, you had the freedom do to whatever you wanted to! Whether it was to get your pokemon together or teach a 'rad' move! Or you could hit the sack for tonight even! In fact, that's what I'm going to do in a few min-...Ugh....I just remembered I had to stay up. BUT GO AHEAD AND TAUNT ME BY GOING TO SLEEP!

Maji looked out with a smile on his face to see the battle was completed before he began reading the paper in his hands. After receiving his pay from the evil old couple (of course, thanking them before they left) Maji looked over to his partner and congratulated him on a great battle. After that came the advertisement in his hands; a tournament to be held soon at Joukai Tower. "Hey, I've heard of this before. Though, I've never competed." He said to himself, looking down at his wrist where the Poketech rested. "What do you think, do you want to compete?" He asked Brolis before looking over to Kaine and down at Pachi.

"Pachi..." Kaine looked excited, happy to have won the match as he jumped up and down, shooting off thin sparks into the air. "Kaine, you did great." Maji praised, but the little squirrel didn't seem to hear him as he continued to release excess electricity, eventually exhausting himself and knocking himself unconscious on the floor. Laughing, Maji grabbed Kaine's pokeballs and recalled him before looking down at his baby, Mitchi.

"Pichu..." Mitchi said to himself, smiling happily before beginning to glow with electrical currents around his body. "Pichu..." the electrical impulses continued and Maji assumed that Mitchi was trying to practice using his electric type moves, but once his arm went numb Maji's eyes widened. "Mitchi... did you... and... but... Thunder Wave?" Maji asked his newest ally, switching Mitchi over to his other arm where the little mouse pokemon just nodded and smiled.

Maji smirked, his left arm was paralyzed, so there was absolutely no movement in it as he held Mitchi in his arm. "Brolis, how's Plat lookin' right now?" He asked his journeying partner. That's when he began to think about the Tournament of Aegis, his pokemon were all --excluding Femme Fatale and Mitchi-- training with or had already learned a new move and the attacks would be greatly unexpected in the tournament. And with his Poketech still raised, he registered for the tournament; with or without Brolis --preferably the former.

"Finally! Return there Plat. You did a great job." Brolis said smiling, knowing that the battle was complete was a great thing. When the money was given over, and Brolis knew he had done a good job with everything, move tutoring his first attack, that wasn't so hard, he just needed to think about things first, not just blurt out orders. He smiled and turned to Maji to see what that paper actually said.

"Whoa...a tournament? The grand prize is 2000 bucks!? Heck yes! You and I should both join. But we need some MAJOR training before we can even think about joining a tournament of that stature. But yeah. Oh, Plat's alright, he'll live through it. We just need to find us a Pokemon Center right away. I don't want to back track, so, lets start heading towards Kijutsu City." he said smiling. He then began to walk away. Route 1 was going to be a little bit longer before reaching the city limits. He was excited to get his Pokemon healed and out again for some more training. He needed to get them trained up to be able to participate in the challenge, that was going to be the more difficult part of the day.

He smiled as he walked deeper into Route 1. What would they find before possibly getting to the place of their destination? He really did need to heal Plat. The battle had taken a tole on him, and he had done a great job. That was their first REAL battle. Now that Plat actually knew a water move, things could only get better from here.

Well, young men, fresh out of a battle, I see? As you guys started walking back to Kijutsu City, nothing much seemed to happen. Along the road, there were the few Pokémon, but they scurried away at the sight of you both. Wondering why? The reason was that somehow, the scent of the Arcanine and Ninetales had caught unto Maji’s body (probably thanks to Mitchi), and when the Pokémon picked up the scent … yeah. They were afraid. Anyway, that just settles the whole ‘wild Pokémon jumping you’ case.

As you two were walking, the sound of crying could be heard. It sounded unlike that of a human, but as the crier drew nearer, it was revealed to be a young girl. The little girl was dressed in a Sableye costume, complete with gems as the ‘eyes’ on the hood. Upon spotting both of you, she tried darting away, but the sight of Mitchi was enough to keep her captivated. “Good day,” she said, sniffing a little.

She continued to watch the Pichu, and stood right in the way. A Pidgey was on her shoulder, cooing and tilting her head.

:pidgey :female Level 10 {Coo-coo}

Nothing seemed too dangerous about this little girl, and nothing was around her either. The surroundings were quiet and no sound could be heard – without a doubt, the route was nearly deserted save for the both of you. Well, this would be a good time to inquire about what was the matter, or something similar. You guys could even challenge her, but then again, who knows what kind of Pokémon she has besides the Pidgey?

Ah, she spoke.

“Onii-san, I like your Pichu.”

Maji looked at the crying girl and felt bad for a while as he headed towards her, dropping whatever conversation he and Brolis were having. Then she said she liked his Pichu and he stopped heading toward her, keeping distance between them for a while. "Thank you." He said to the girl, watching Michi as the little mouse pokemon jumped out from his arms, yet again, and landed on the ground hyper-actively.

"What was wrong with you a few moments ago?" He questioned, grabbing Michi again in his arms, but now resting him on his shoulder. "By the way, my name is Maji and this here is Michi." He indicated his Pichu, who then called his own name before Maji continued over to Brolis. "This is my travelling companion, Brolis." He smirked, and began to wonder if, if Brolis wanted, they should/could challenge this girl to a battle; it'd be some good training for his pokemon, and he'd need all the training he could get if he wanted to get far in that tournament that was coming up.

Brolis stood back and held back some giggles and laughs as he noticed the woman in the Sableye suit. As Maji spoke and introduced the two of them, he just waved, covering his mouth. Yes, the two needed to train for this future contest that was coming up, but battling a crying little girl with a Pidgey wasn't his scene. Though, he would battle, just for the experience.

He then stepped up. "As my friend stated, I'm Brolis." he said, standing back and holding back more laughter. He couldn't believe his eyes. This girl was dressed like an actual Sableye. Where would she even obtain a costume like that? It was hideous. The gem-like eyes and everything, it was as if there were a real Sableye standing before them, yet you could tell it was just a person in costume.

Who knew? Maybe this girl would prove to be an exciting challenge. He could use the double team, King and Queen, or he could try to battle with Dusk. He needed a challenge as well. But, though he really wanted to use Plat, he decided against it, for of course, Plat just came out of a previous battle. That wouldn't be the best idea. Far from it actually. Maybe getting King and Queen back out into the action would prove useful! That was, if she even suggested a battle in the first place. Brolis hadn't known if there were to be a battle ahead, all he knew is that he wanted to level up as many Pokemon as possible and train them up.

It was crystal clear to you all that the girl was very interested in your Pichu, and she smiled through her tears. As Mitchi bounced off Maji’s shoulder, landing on the ground, she giggled, covering her mouth with her hands, much like what a small girl her age will do. “Onii-san,” said the nine-year-old, “Can I play with your Mitchi-kun?” The little girl looked hopefully at you, before smiling brightly.

“I’m Haraka,” she introduced herself, “And this is Coo-coo.” The Pidgey on her shoulder chirped, and then flapped her wings happily. “Good day, Brolis,” Haraka said, wiping away the remnant of her tears from her face. She walked over to the little Pichu, and tried patting him on the head. It seemed that she had a liking for Pichu, but then, you picked Mitchi up.

Haraka didn’t seem to want to battle … besides, who knew what she could pull out from her other Pokéballs if she had them? And come on … this world has another side other than battling! Well, actually, people all over the place want to battle ever since they got introduced to the tournament … oh well. Either way, Haraka seemed like an innocent nine-year-old, content with everything and a sandwich.

“Are … you guys … going to fight me?” she said, realizing what you guys might try to do. Haraka took a step back, stumbling. The hood of her Sableye costume fell off, and it was clear to all that her eyes were almost crystalline in color, similar to that of a Sableye. Her eyes darted around anxiously, before she started to sniff again. Blinking vigorously, she shook her head, before looking at both of you.

“I don’t want to fight! People pick on me just because I have a Pidgey for a starter!”

Brolis rolled his eyes. The chance of battling this girl were now slim. He knew that Maji didn't have it in him to randomly battle a girl he didn't know. Brolis sat back and watched as the girl became terrified of the two guys for she thought they were going to battle her.

Brolis smirked when the girl seemed as though she was so fearful of them. He walked up to Maji and said, "Maji, I think it'd be best just to get on with our journey. She doesn't want to fight, and since that's what I wanted to do, just to train, and she doesn't, obviously, there is no point in even trying to go on. We should just leave while we have the chance. I don't want to get sucked up into some problematic girl."

Brolis then took a step back, and played with a Pokeball on his belt. He rolled his eyes and walked back towards where he was first positioned, waiting for Maji's response. He wasn't going to be able to battle, and because of that, he just wanted to leave. He hoped that Maji would see it his way, and accept it, and move on. That was, unless he decided to go ahead and battle this girl, but that seemed so far out of Maji's personality, it wouldn't happen.

Maji turned to listen to Brolis' words and decided he was right. While this girl was indeed sweet, she was impeding their continuation along the route towards Kijutsu City. "Well, I would love to stay and let you play with my Pichu but Brolis and I are headed towards Kijutsu. We need to heal our pokemon and get some training done because we're entering the Tournament in Joukai Pass soon. So we need all the training we can get." Maji smiled as he said this and felt Mitchi stand on his shoulders, holding on to Maji's hair as to make sure he wouldn't fall.

"Let's go Brolis," Maji called over to his journey partner as he then turned back over to Haruha. "Nice meeting your Haruha, I wish you luck in whatever you do. Good bye now," Maji said as he began walking off down the route again, Mitchi still golding onto his hair as they headed towards Joukai.

After some time Maji realized that they'd been on the route for quite a while now, he hoped they'd be coming up to the route that would take them to Kijutsu soon but kept his eyes open for any wild pokemon that may live along the route. He needed to finish teaching his pokemon the attacks they'd been working on, and if they learned it in a battle, he would be able to make sure they'd gotten the concept once and for all. Now, just to see what would appear to them.

((I apologize for the late ref, I've been busy/lazy lately but here it is))

It seemed the girl understood as she sniffled and nodded, but, she looked torn between walking away and joining you. Eventually though she waved to you and said,"Okay, maybe we'll see each other again. I hope so. Bye Bye!" and she walked away leaving you two to your own devices. Looks like you could FINALLY make your way to Kijutsu city. First though you'd need to get route 2 and as you were soon going to see that might not be so easy. In any case you head in the direction of route 2 and Kijutsu city, your ultimate destination for your training. Your drive to train sparked in your heart's, it was going to be epic.

So as you travel on you two had some time to chat, the distance between the routes was long so now would have been a good time to quickly get familiar with each other as trainers, and with good reason. As you approached the border between the routes you noticed to shadowy figures on the road ahead, the sun directly overhead was casting them in its light and causing the shadows. As you approached them you noticed what they were. It was two zangoose...and they looked tough, very tough.

The first one looked scruffier than the other, its ear missing a small chunk of it and its eyes were glazed over. This zangoose was blind but something told both of you not to underestimate it for it gave you a look dead in your eyes as it licked its right claw, it was tough. The other looked like a total priss, it was grooming itself meticulously until it noticed you and licked it's left claws mimicking its friend except it also cracked its neck, this one wasn't going to be a pushover ether.

Looks like if you want to move on you'd have to face these two powerful zangoose.

Maji looked on to see two Zangoose blocking their path and twitched slightly at their menacing looks at him. He already had a feeling that this battle was not going to be easy; he just knew it deep in his gut. And while he didn't want to jerpardize more of his pokemon getting injured he knew what had to be done. So from his belt he grabbed two pokeballs, both with small scratches along their sides as he threw them both out front. "Anastasia, TAKE THE STAGE! Damien, SCENE!" He called forth as both pokeballs erupted at the end of his statement, releasing a red light which formed the bodies of his two pokemon, both landing maticulously on the ground before them in a clean fashion which made them seem more professional than they really were. Hopefully, this professional appearance would do them well in this battle.

Anastasia, having landed on one leg before taking a strong stance, the grass around her feet shaking slightly at her movement smiled. She, while in her pokeball, had been planning how she would train her attack, Razor Leaf, since she had not been able to move along with her training since she had first started back in Nogou. She looked up at Maji and awaited instruction, pleading with her eyes to let him do as she pleased in order to teach herself the attack. Maji, having recieved the message, smiled and nodded but held up one finger before Anastasia could be on her way to training. "Before you start training, I want you to use Water Sport on the ground both ahead and around us. After that, you have freedom to do as you please." With that, he allowed Anastasia to get on with her work.

Damien, posed proudly with his head up to the sky, his chest out in a tough-manner before looking over to Maji. He called his name a few times and Maji recieved the message that Damien actually had been doing the same as Anastasia and had come up with a way to further his training of Zen Headbutt and Bite. Maji, not wanting to disturb Damien since his attack was a bit more complex than that of Anastasia let the rat do what he liked. So with that, his pokemon were off to do what they wanted.

[[Insert Anastasia using Water Sport here, Ref info basically.]]

After using Water Sport Anastasia moved on to her move training and closed her eyes. Around her, she could feel the air "spin" like she did when using Leaf Storm. It was a feeling she'd grown accustomed to, especially since Leaf Storm had become her most commonly used offensive attack. So, with eyes closed she focused on the wind around her, using her mind to "slow it down" in a way, seperating the leaves in her mind into seperate quadrants around her; rather than walls of leaves spiralling around her. None the less, when she opened her eyes she focused her energy to call forth leaves for leaf storm, using them to form those walls she knew so well, and then willing them to seperate around her into smaller quadrants. If this worked, she would send of small ammounts of leaves at a time, while maintaining control on those which were already there, that way she would learn to energy control part of Razor Leaf, how to make it so that only enough energy was released that only a small but plentiful ammount of leaves was released at a time. Only time would tell if her tactics would work.

Damien, just inches away from Anastasia had also began work on his training. His eyes remained open but his body had moved into a crouched position as if he was ready to lunge at the Blind Zangoose. However, the look in his eyes showed his focus as he locked on to his target's stomach, and using his already known attack of Focus Energy he strengthened himself. However, rather than use the typical sense of the attack, Damien focused energy to his skull, creating a helm of invisible energy continually building every second he focused. When he finished collecting energy and found an opening on his target, he would lunge through the air with as quick a Quick Attack as he could muster, prepared to use his natural speed along with that speed which came from Quick Attack in order to strike hard and fast, and release the energy all at once. After that was done, he'd use his natural instict to run away in order to create some distance between himself and Zangoose, in order to avoid it's close-ranged attacks.

Maji looked over at Brolis and smirked. "If you have any ideas on how to use that mud I had Anastasia strike up, feel free to use them. My only idea was to lure the blind one into the mud in order to stop it from moving." He smiled, and was ready to continue this battle.

Brolis nodded at the comments made by Maji. He then began to think a bit. He realized that the mud could be useful for both Nidoran. "King, Queen, it's your guys turn to shine!" he said, smiling, grabbing both Pokeballs and tossing them up into the air. The balls burst in a flurry of red light shown about as if by magic. The two Pokemon became visible by appearance after the light shown about.

The two Pokemon yawned a bit after shaking the red dust from their backs. Brolis then made the announcement. "You two, are going to begin learning a new move. I saw this one on TV many months ago, way before I ever had you two. You guys are going to learn Mud-Slap. Thanks for the mud Maji, I can use this." he said smirking, nodding in thanks to his traveling partner.

Brolis turned to the two Nidoran and began, "Now, what I need you to do, you two, is use a new attack that I know both of you don't know. Use the mud, I want you to run into the mud, and begin kicking the mud up in a flurry at the prissy Zangoose. With both of you using this move, we can hope to be assured that the Zangoose will hopefully be blinded by the two different mud attacks being sent at him. Now, lets get on with this!" he said smiling. Hopefully the two Nidoran could take direction from him. He was happy to see the two after a while of them both being cooped up in their Pokeballs. It was nice to take a stretch now and again after all.

The two nodded and knew their orders. Now, it was time to take those orders and make actions out of them. Would they be able to do it? Who knew, to be honest. Brolis sure hoped so, and that would help both himself and Maji out a lot with this hefty battle before them.

How convenient it must be to have pokemon that teach themselves attacks. It sure saves you the trouble of explaining the process to them! Anastasia was off to a nice start, for Razor Leaf was very much a low power Leaf Storm…a VERY low power Leaf Storm. She managed to separate the leaves into quadrants around her easily enough, but when she tried to fire a few of them…she ended up sending all the leaves in a flurry. She’d tried to hold back the other leaves, but they slipped out of her control. Darn, that hadn’t worked. Maybe if she used even fewer leaves to start with, so she didn’t have to control so many at once. Leaf Storm didn’t require such fine control over the leaves.

At the same time King and Queen had dove into the mud and turned their backs to the Zangoose. The mud was squishy between their toes, what a sensation that was! They weren’t there to squish mud between their toes though; they were supposed to be learning Mud Slap. So the pair looked over their shoulders and began to kick mud at the Zangoose that was so concerned with how clean he was. His reaction to having mud all over his fur and claws ought to be pretty funny, they supposed.

Alas, no one would ever know, for Zangoose had the perfect counter. He crossed his arms and began to spin around, faster and faster. By the time a flurry of Anastasia’s leaves and the mud from King and Queen reached him he was spinning so fast that the wind generated by his spinning deflected the attacks harmlessly. When Zangoose finally slowed down and stopped he was as immaculate as ever, a cocky grin touching the corners of his mouth. Not only had the attacks been blocked, but now his attack was increased, and by quite a bit, thanks to his Swords Dance attack. He was ready to strike back!

Damien was doing well so far; he’d managed to build up a lot of energy. Now was the time to release it! In a flash Damien took off, trying to hold the energy in place as he charged full into a Quick Attack. His focus remained on the belly of his victim, which he rammed with all his might. The force from the velocity he’d built up helped too. However, just as he was leaping away the blind Zangoose slammed him hard, much harder than he thought possible. He let out an involuntary squeak of pain as he flew through air, landing in the mud next to the Nidoran.

You could see what Damien hadn’t noticed with his tight focus. As he charged in for the attack, Zangoose had been enveloped in a soft, red glow. There was something strange about that though…what attack could it know that would cause such a glow? The damage done to Damien told the tale: Counter. The blind Zangoose had heard Damien’s footfalls and the way he whizzed through the air; had felt the faint vibrations in the ground as Damien’s feet beat upon it. Knowing some sort of physical attack was coming his way, Zangoose had readied himself for a counterattack. It still might have failed if he hadn’t been quick enough to catch Damien before he retreated. Like the other Zangoose, the blind one spun around, using Swords Dance to boost his attack.

Taking advantage of the astonishment his companion’s quick Counter had induced in Damien, the prissy Zangoose charged forward and used Quick Attack himself, hitting Damien before the poor Rattata could get his bearings. Yikes, a double hit like that was sure to hurt. Granted Anastasia, King, and Queen were fine, but Damien was pretty beaten up. The two Zangoose were indeed strong opponents…better think of something fast!

((So you know, the rest of Anastasia’s leaves were blown off-course by the prissy Zangoose’s Swords Dance even if not actually deflected, so no one was hit by them.))

Maji was more than proud of his pokemon partners for their attacks in the last round. Anastasia had been able to use her attack very well, maybe not perfectly, but she was getting there! And Damien had done spectacularly during his own attack, however, it was obvious that this fight did not belong to him. The opponents were quick, and unless he had some cover for his attacks, he would have to stay back from the target. So now it was time to come up with a counter attack, and quick.

"Anastasia! Use Growth in order to increase your special attack. Get your roots deep into the earth, the moisture in the soil since you used Water Sport last turn should be helpful. Keep yourself rooted in the earth and absorb water each round in order to increase your special attack; it'll help up with our training." Maji explained, this was the best he could do for now with Anastasia, what was next however would definitely be more effective in this battle. Seeing that Close-Ranged attacks would be repelled by what he could assume was Zangoose's egg move, Counter, Anastasia would have to provide from long-range cover for Damien throughout the battle. "Anastasia, now that your special attack is up I want you to use Leaf Storm around the blind Zangoose. Listen closely, not AT the Zangoose, but AROUND it so that you make a sort of tornado. Not only will this allow you to cause damage to Zangoose as well as make it harder for it to hear oncoming movements, but it'll teach you how to spin leaves around rapidly for Razor Leaf. Also, while doing this I want you to bring down leaves like you did earlier in order to strike Zangoose, that way we can get as much damage done this turn as possible." Maji's orders were set, and he looked at Anastasia hoping she understood it all.

Anastasia nodded, and hurriedly released her roots deep into the earth in order to strengthen herself with the soil in the ground. While doing so she closed her eyes and focused, in her mind the leaves lifted from the ground and she spun them in the air like a mass cloud of controlled chaos. Waving her arms the leaves in her mind would follow, and she invisioned Zangoose standing straight ahead of her, in her sights. Swaying her arms forward she led the leaves out towards Zangoose, waving her arms just ahead of her as if mixing something in a pot to form the tornado. When she opened her eyes she kept the image in her mind, and locked her eyes on Zangoose releasing her energy to continue training Razor Leaf.

It was time for Damien then, and Maji didn't want to waste too long thinking up a plan for the little rat so he looked at his poketech and came up with an immediate plan of action. "Damien, keep in mind exactly what Zangoose just did to you. I mean the blind one, the one who sent you through the air. That attack is called counter, it's a move I can teach you later, but for now we will have to focus on continuing teaching you to use Zen Headbutt." Maji thought for a moment between his words, how could he go about explaining this so that Damien would take as little damage as possible? "Alright, this turn we're going to hopefully finish up training Zen Headbutt. This is definitely going to take a lot of time, but luckily we have Anastasia's Leaf Storm to provide us with that time. What I want you to do is nothing new, but you'll have to listen to me carefully." He cleared his throat before continuing, and he saw Damien look over to him with an experssion which he understood to be determination.

"First use Focus Energy like you did before, build it up into your skull. While you do that, I want you listen to my voice;" Damien nodded while Maji spoke and began to focus energy just as he had before, collecting the energy in his skull as he did before. "I think that the reason your attack was so easily repelled is because not enough energy is being focused. Typically, counter inflicts damage on the target first, and then the target inflicts damage; but in the last round you didn't have the chance to inflict damage, so I assume that there needs to be more power behind your attack. So, I want you to quickly focus even more energy into your skull, like using a second focus energy attack. From what I know, the use of two Focus Energy attacks actually raises the chance of inflicting critical damage on the target, which means the attack would definitely be much stronger than it was before." Damien seemed to be listening, and his eyes shut tightly, the hair on his body stood on end, and the fur on his head flattened out as if covered by a helmet. "Now, once you're done focusing your energy I want you to run towards Zangoose with Quick Attack and ram into it as hard as you can. If this is successful you should be able to cause some nice damage, as hopefully it'll be enough to activate the effect on Zen Headbutt which will stop Zangoose from using Counter while you escape."

With that said, Damien's eyes opened and he was ready to attack!
