This Mr. Spotlight is just full of great advice, isn't he? He seems like one of those old spirits you'd find in video games who are so wise they know everything. Even though they know everything, they don't tell you it right away and let you figure stuff out on your own. Or, he could be like Mr. Miyagi from the Karate Kid. But that's neither here, nor there. What's known is that Mr. Spotlight is an exceptionally wise man and taught you very well.

After walking into the Pokemart and grabbing five pokeballs, you handed the man behind the counter the appropriate money, and he happily let you take the five balls. Still more than obvious, is that $300 worth of pokeballs is definitely a big hole in your wallet, unless you secretly had a stash somewhere, or were a thief. Either way, it was a lot. But you're right, it was necessary. "Sometimes you have to spend money, to earn it." That's a quote I heard some time ago, and who knows, maybe Mr. Spotlight himself was the one who told it to me. That would have been an interest turn of events; my sensei being your sensei.

It was weird though. This girl who had been so.. hyper? or I guess a better word would be cheery, was now quiet. Even after you asked her about herself in the Pokemon Center, she stayed quiet until the two of you left the Pokemart. Hannah slipped her arm from around your own, moving in front of you to wink and stick out her tongue playfully. "Now, if I told you that, what fun would that be?" Pfft. Looks like she's back to normal, maybe it was just the area she was in that hit her, she did miss her Pokemon after all. Then, as though she was searching for something, Hannah kept looking around the two of you. She laughed a little, scratching the back of her head. "Uh.. I forgot where we should go.."

...The hell? How does she not remember where her ex lives? But, forgetting something with all the excitement that went on is.. reasonable, I guess. Or maybe she didn't forget it at all, and was just pretending so she could spend more time with you. Who knows. But what we do know, is that you need to make a choice about where to go, because she wasn't going to.

AN: Ack.. Okay.. first off, sorry for the wait. My muse died while posting it.. and secondly, sorry if it sucks, like I said, my muse died so I lost what I was thinking about.

“If you don’t want to be swallowed up by the world, there are two things you need to know,” Mr. Spoltight once told Barzel in another one of his lectures, “one is to know who you are, and the other is to know who you want to be. As long as you got the two down clear, you’ll find a path that connects the two, and you’ll live life well.” Barzel knew what he was, and he knew what he wanted to be. He idolized Mr. Spotlight, it was obvious who his goal was.

Barzel looked at Hannah for a moment. Blinked. Looked at her again, blinked. What do you mean you forgot where we should go?! He raged inside himself. Actually, that’s not true. He wasn’t that angry, heck he wasn’t angry at all. Maybe this Hannah girl was calming down his spirit, making him calmer. He had been working on control his temper (control it, don’t let it control you), so when he answered Hannah back, it was with a chuckle, “I understand, it has been sort of a hectic day so far.”

But umm… what now? Barzel gave a quick run through of his ideas before addressing Hannah again, Let’s see, let’s see… at this point, I’m not even sure if she actually lost her Pokemon. By the looks of it, she seems to just be lonely a little bit. Often in times like these, times of real moral dilemmas, there was always one person he could rely on, what would Mr. Spotlight do?

Thinking back to all of his experiences with Mr. Spotlight, his adoptive father who he held the same regard as a diety, he racked his brain for a solution. Let’s get some things straight, if Mr. Spotlight was here, he definitely wouldn’t just shove this girl out and go off. If Mr. Spotlight was here, he wouldn’t try and pressure her, that’s not very manly like, he would find an answer, even if it meant taking a blow against himself.

The answer came to Barzel like a flash of lighting. As soon as it registered, he absolutely, positively knew this was the correct way to go. No matter what, he wouldn’t be able to forget about it without feeling the pull on his conscious. Damn morales. Reverting back to his cheery tone, trying to put Hannah at ease, he said, “well, I got to say, you’ve been good luck for me so far. I mean, Magen and I had some great battles just a few moments ago, and we got additions to our team.”

Flashing Hannah a smile he said, “Let’s go get you a pokemon. It might not be the one you originally had, but maybe it’ll jot some memories? Beside, you could well with a partner,” He winked. To Barzel, he tried to be the good guy, following in Mr. Spotlight’s footsteps, but it felt so foreign to him. It was difficult to build up good characteristics, sure he wasn’t perfect, but he was working on being a good person, right? Mr. Spoltight’s way is the correct way. No doubt about it, and this would be Mr. Spotlight’s way.

“Seeing as how I just bought all of these pokeballs….Let’s go, I’ll catch you a pokemon, it’ll be my treat and my way to repay you after all the luck and company you’ve brought me,” he said. He might’ve been laying it on a bit thick, but he just wanted to put Hannah at ease at this point. “Let’s see what we can find… if you agree of course?” he posed to Hannah. Who knows, maybe he could get to catch a few more Pokemon for himself while he was at it.

[hint-hint at that last part].

Life is not a fairytale and there are no happy endings.
After offering to catch Hannah a pokemon to call her own, she began to do what every female did at first - refuse. "Oh no, no you don't have to do that for me..." She said as she playfully slapped your arm. Oh c'mon, give up the act. Why is it that whenever you offer a girl anything, they will refuse at first so they dont seem desperate, they'll wait for you to keep asking, but at the end they all accept your offers. You repeated yourself again, telling her that you WERE going to catch her a pokemon, and, ofcourse, this time she accepted. "Oh alright then, thank you so much!" She grabbed onto your arm again and hugged as a thank you.

Ofcourse, where were you going to go for some pokemon? The city is obviously home to many pokemon but at times it can be harder to find them then out in the wild. You both began to walk along, walking around the outer-parts of the city. Here it was alot more quiet of human activity, giving you more chance to actually find some pokemon. Ofcourse like I said earlier, there isn't a great deal of pokemon to find in the city. You saw maybe one or two birds fly overhead but, nothing that really intrested either of you. Around this suburban area the buildings were alot smaller, they were becoming nice houses, a quiet place and from behind the houses you could see tree's and forests.

Finally, something had caught both your eyes. Two little Pikachu's were right infront of you both, staring into both of your eyes with their little cute expressions. Hannah burst out as all females do. "Oh my god! They're soooo cute!" She squealed, as she did she startled the two little electric mouse pokemon, who both darted around and began heading off into the nearest route. (I have no idea what routes are connected with what towns, cant find it anywhere. So, lets say route 2?)

Well, were you going to follow them. A Pikachu would be a nice catch for both you, and a charmed Hannah.

“Don’t leave Kijutsu City,” Mr. Spoltight said moments before Barzel left on his journey. “I need you to become strong in the world of humans and Pokemon, don’t get too far carried off to one or the other. Start in Kijutsu and stay there at least for some time.” It wasn’t bad reasoning, Barzel remembered, but it did pose a problem…

It didn’t take much convincing to get Hannah to agree to take up Barzel’s offer. Barzel had a fleeting suspicion that this was what she wanted all along, but, he just smiled politely back at her. Plus, if felt good to do a good deed, something that Mr. Spotlight would be proud of his adoptive son for.

The wandering pair walked down the lonesome streets of Kijutsu, sharing stories and jokes while on the hunt for Pokemon. It wasn’t long before Hannah squealed, and found two little electric mouse Pokemon, chirping away in their Pokemon talk, and looking at the two humans in interest. Barzel smiled, “Perfect! A pair of them, it’s almost like this was destined to be.”

He followed Hannah as the Pokemon began running off towards route two. All that was on his mind was the impending capture and battle, until it struck him, he was about to leave Kijutsu. Slowing his speed down for a moment, he played out the argument in his mind, Mr. Spotlight told me not to leave Kijutsu until I become strong.

But it’s not like I’m going too far away, plus, I’ll be right back. –The retort

Mr. Spotlight gave me limits for a reason.
– The rebuttal of the retort

It’s for the greater good, would it be better to leave Hannah after all this? Be a man! Plus, if you’re fast enough, you can get them before they leave the city. And well, that was it. Hoping that Mr. Spotlight would understand his reasoning (he had no doubt Mr. Spotlight would find out about this incident, one way or another) Barzel increased his light jog, into a full out sprint, calling out to Hannah “I’ll cut them off!” He managed to get close enough where he was able to call out his own Pokemon for battle, I don’t know exactly how this will turn out, but if I get the first hit at least I’ll have an advantage. “Go Mayen and… Ahshan!” he decided, giving Torkoal a nickname. This was his first time using Torkoal as part of his team, so he had to make sure the Pokemon synch well.


“Magen, be very careful out here. You’re at a type disadvantage against something much stronger than that Voltorb. But don’t worry, I have faith… and something even better than that, a plan!”
Barzel exclaimed, reading his team for combat. “Magen use double water guns on the female! Ashan,” Barzel said a bit tentatively, waiting to see how Torkoal would respond to his nickname. Torkoal gave an approving humpf, which Barzel took at a good sign and said, “Right, launch off a double ember at the male!” Right now wasn’t the best time to mix fire and water, Barzel just wanted to get some early damage going.

“Don’t let them recover, if they get a chance to fire back those lighting bolts, we could be in real trouble. After the first barrage of attacks, but before they get their bearings, fire off a wide range bubble Magen!” he commanded the blue turtle. “Ahshan, while they are being harassed by bubble, launch a wide ranged smog,” he ordered the red. If luck was with them, he would be able to distract the two Pikachu’s and keep them too occupied to launch off an electric attack… hopefully.

Haha. Two Pikachu's? Aww, such a cute site. They looked like a couple, one being a boy, the other a girl. Not much unlike yourself and Hannah. Then again, looking at it the two Pikachu's were actually more similar to the two of you then they appear to be. But hey, don't take my word for it. I'm just an omniscient voice, you'll probably figure it out as this battle progresses. Just my little two cents, don't lose these two Pokemon. Also, give the girl one to Hannah. I think they might have much more in common.

Okay, so you managed to cut the two electric mice off. See, personally I think Torkoal would be pretty effective against a thunder, but Squirtle? I know you're aware of the type disadvantage and all, but that just might be a bad idea. Squirtle has bubble and water gun, but remember water conducts electricity. Still, I'm curious as to what this plan of yours is. Let's just hope it works.

Following your commands, Squirtle launched two water gun attacks at the female Pikachu. She had spunk though, she stared down the water guns like a cowboy in a shooting competition. Hell, even her cheeks began sparking. Wait.. what? Pikachu was about to use thundershock! That could pose a serious problem, if the thundershock hits the water, both Squirtle and Pikachu will get hurt. But before the water gun could hit, the male Pikachu dove towards the female, moving her out of the way, both easily evading the double water gun. See? Told you they were similar to you two. The male one is protecting the female!

Oh, and here comes Torkoal's ember. The male Pikachu, once again moved the female one out of the way, taking the full hit of ember. Its not like it was a super effective hit, but it did decent damage. Now angered, Pikachu's cheeks began sparking. The female one seemed worried about him, and inched closer for both protection and to help out. The male nodded towards the female, chirping at each other in their name-speaking language, before turning to face both Squirtle and Torkoal. Almost in sync with Torkoal's smog, both Pikachu's let out a loud growl, just moments before the smog was unleashed. This reduced the attack of Squirtle but luckily with Torkoal's white smoke, he didn't receive any effect from it. Seems like the male one was in charge. He was even tough as hell. I mean, when Squirtle unleashed the bubble, he made sure to protect the female, taking even more damage.

Well, it seems like the male Pikachu can't fight to its fullest potential while protecting the female, but from the looks of it, its powerful, so be careful of it. [Looking down you, you saw something shiny! Could it be?! Money?! Eagerly you picked it up, but aww. It was only a chocolate dollar.]

“Don’t aim for the weak. That makes you weak. Meet each challenge head on!” Mr. Spotlight often repeated to Barzel. How else was a person to become a man? One can’t just always resort to cheap trickery in order to win a match, that’s not true strength.

Well, the round didn’t go over as well as Barzel had hoped, but it was the beginning. Besides, life wouldn’t be worth living if everything went according to plan. Grinning at the prospect of a new challenge he dove into his mind once, hoping to retrieve something from the dusty volumes on puzzles, challenges and battles. When he had finally formulated a plan he though, that male is quite impressive… I didn’t think I would see such spirit in him! But this wasn’t the time to be praising an opponent, especially not when the battle was still so close. Alright, we have to cancel out the electric attacks. If I keep the two occupied, then…

“Magen, Ahshan, split up! Launch your attacks from different directs, make them harder to dodge.” He ordered, eyes blazing with a new plan. “Magen, start things off with a water gun. And Ashan, after the water gun, follow up with an ember. Don’t let the opponent get balanced enough to launch a counter attack. After the first round of attacks, repeat it, so Magen fire off another water gun and Ahshan fire off an ember. If the two Pikachu stick together, then aim for both of them, otherwise go for the male!” Sure it may have been better strategy to focus on the weaker one, but somehow Barzel got the nasty feeling that in the end, that would just wind up to bite him back.

Let the Pikachu growl all he wants, as long as that’s the worst of his attacks, this battle would be over before long. By this point though, Barzel had already thought a few moves ahead, If I can soak them with water, then maybe they won’t fire off an electric attack. After all, that shock would hurt themselves and their partner, “Don’t let them get a counter attack in, now go!”

That's pretty noble their, aiming mostly for the stronger of the two. I guess there is still some decent people out their. I on the other hand would have utilized that opportunity for what it was worth. Dude pikachu was getting pummeled out there and if given the chance, might pull off an attack that could completely put this battle in their favor. Not to mention that the femme pikachu was ready to zap your turtle into nothingness.

Torkoal, being so heavy and wide-load, ran as fast as he could towards his position. Squirtle waddled the opposite direction and made it to his with no problem. The male pikachu was being cautious and eyed your pokemon with a look of pure hatred.

"Pika, pika! Pikachu! Pika!" He protested, sparks emitting from his cheeks as he said whatever it was that language meant. Squirtle paid no heed to this and unleashed its Water Gun like you ordered. At that moment, Torkoal released his Ember and the attacks left the two thunder rodents in the middle of their paths.

The girl pikachu immediately dove to the left as she escaped the attacks, but the male turned to grab her to make a run for it, causing him to get caught in the middle of the blast. Smoke engulfed the spot where the Fire and Water attacks collided. "Pika!" came the cry of that tenacious girl Pikachu. She began to ran towards the smoke, until streaks of lightening began to race through the gas.

"Pikachu!" That was all that was heard before a yellow Thunder Wave shot from the gray smoke and towards your Ahshan. He already saw this coming and retreated back into its shell for safety. But the move hit dead on, the lightening surging through your pokemons muscular system and causing it to be charged with electricity. "Tor-koal." He cried out as he slowly appeared from his shell.

This signaled your Mangen to react and he inhaled deeply to let loose another Water Gun attack but was cut off by the female Pikachu with a Thunder Shock. Squirtle had enough time to dodge it and narrowly escaped the oncoming attack, but was grazed by it slightly.

Now Ashshan was slightly paralyzed, but still mobile. Squirtle is still in fighting spirit, so your move.

“Don’t let honor or glory get to you’re head, they’re just words at the end of the day,” Mr. Spotlight told Barzel, tutoring him on the finer aspects of battle and life. Everyone wants to be the hero that does everything right and has no black marks on his record, but it takes a real man to step up and play the villain role when necessary. Especially when others are counting on him.

This round didn’t go perfectly, but it could’ve been much worse. Barzel’s shell shocker team did average damage, but the electric rodents were getting back on track, and launching off what ever attacks the two had to defend themselves. This is a battle of freedom versus strength, which drive is stronger will be the one to take over this battle.

The winds of change were blowing. It was ominous and comforting, a feeling that one can never recall, but always recognizes. He felt uneasy about the situation, uneasy about the level and type disadvantage. It was beyond rationalize, but Barzel was worried. He had faced more daunting tasks in the past, overcome worse odds without a hint of fear. But this winds struck his very core, they ripped his ideals out of a perfect fight and replaced it with desperation. It was instant, but Barzel knew he couldn't continue the match in this fashion.

He thought he knew what entertainment was, what a battle was. He believed that a battle wouldn’t be fun if it was completely one sided, that it would be a waste of time if the opponent doesn’t push back. He flirted with ideas to vary his tactics and finish off in a splendor, like he was so used to before. He was so ingrained with that seductive temptress known as victory, that he hadn't even though about the risk. The risk of losing his companions and teammates.

“Ahshan, don’t let the electricity take over you, fight the paralysis and fire off an ember, at whichever Pikachu is closest to you! Follow it up with a Smog!” Barzel said, while still entangled in his prison of a mind . This is stupid, I’m thinking about having fun and exposing my team to danger? We’re going to win this, without suffering needless damage. I’m not going to hold back anymore. “Magen, focus on your speed, then start strafing to the right, and fire a water gun, at whatever Pikachu is closest.”

Clenching his hand, Barzel sighed and took out his last Pokeball, and summoned out the demon he had restrained before, “Voltorb, focus up on your speed, and smash into one of the Pikcahu with a rolling Tackle!” This was the change he had decided on. No more dreams of glory and heroics, he focused soley on the objective of winning.
He didn’t care if it looked cowardly, using three on two. A leader sometimes has to make unpopular decisions for the sake of his team, and something as petty as honor should be the first to be disguarded when the situation calls for it. I have a habit of referring to my Pokemon as guardians, but perhaps it is time for me to play that role for them.

Ah. So now all the stops have been pulled out. Well, well, well. Maybe that wasn't the best of ideas, but who knows? It could work out for you. The Pikachu saw the Voltorb and things seemed to be looking badly for them as a look that could only be described as the shock of recognizing some feared being. Maybe Voltorb had some sort of history of bullying these particular Pikachus?

Magen darted around and fired a Water Gun at the older Pikachu as Ashan fired a Smog at the younger Pikachu and then an ember attack. The poisonous smoke reacted with the fires and a small explosion occurred. The young Pikachu rolled out of the flames charred and in serious pain, but it was also seriously enraged. The Pikachu charged up a powerful Thundershock and jolted poor Ashan before he knew what hit him. Then, Voltorb crashed into the older Pikachu and the younger one's eyes narrowed. This was not just a game. This was life. So the two Pikachu's regrouped and were ready to end this. And it seemed they were intent on finishing Voltorb off first.

“Attack, attack, attack!” Was Mr. Spotlight’s go to plan. You want to finish a battle quick? Beat the other opponent down before he gets a chance to retaliate. Don’t allow for a moment of reprieve, never let them regain a rhythm once you start the onslaught. Never let them forget that their lives are at stake when fighting against you. This was advice Barzel wouldn’t soon forget.

Barzel was so involved in his battle that he had completely forgotten the original reason he was there. Flicking his head back a cool thirty degrees, he asked his escort of the city, “We’re about halfway there.” And that seemed like the truth. But hopefully, his attacks would soon cause more damage and finish this off even sooner. Can’t forget, I made a promise to give Hannah one of these Pikachu, at the time, it seemed like the noble thing to do. Who knows, maybe he can get some chivalry points after all of this is done and over.

Concerning the battle though, his plan last round was marginally successful, but it wasn’t enough. More power, more strength! He thought, clenching his teeth and fist in a show of support. It wasn’t desperation that called forth for a speedy knockout, it was pure drive and adrenaline. No time for ideas, no time for thinking, don’t let them breathe! Who cares if they regrouped, just smash them together! If they want to be together in their last free moments the let them, Barzel wasn’t so cruel as to force separation early.

“Ahshan!” Barzel barked, “Smog and ember at the both of them!” If it caused an explosion last time, what would stop this one from being any different? Stay together, lose together. “Magen, focus on accuracy and then double Water gun, after the smoke clears! Aim for whichever one you see first.” Finally, Barzel turned to the orbed menace, the ball of bane, the sinister sphere, and said, “Get faster Voltorb. Double focus on speed, then slam into one of the yellow rats with a tackle, run them over!” Hopefully, the first two attacks would give Voltorb the necessary time to build up the speed. Then with its new boost, it would be nigh impossible for the rats to score a hit. Plus, the faster the tackle, the more damaging, no?


======= OOC=========
Squirtle [Focus on accuracy + Water gun +water gun (three move turn)]
Torkoal [Smog + ember]
Volorb [Double focus on speed + tackle (3 move combo, total of +3 speed (there was a focus on speed last time))]

Also: Squirtle should have +1 speed for 1 more turn after this post, since there was a speed focus last time

AN: I apologize ahead of time for this. I actually had this planned out the last time I reffed you, so luckily I get to ref you again. If I missed something, let me know and I'll correct it.

Well, well, it looks like we meet again. The only other person who comes close to matching my high level of awesome. The last time we spoke, you were with that cutie with the bootie. What was her name again? Oh yeah, Hannah. You were also in the midst of trying to capture her a Pokemon. Wait a minute, you still are? Hmm. Looks like the battle seems to be going in your favor. Kudos to you my friend. You're putting on quite the show for the lady beside you, as well as for any other omniscient spectators watching this fight. Still, your attitude does seem a little different than when I last watched over you. You seem more.. what's the word..? Villainous. But I guess that's to be expected. You didn't want the battle to drag on, you wanted to end it quick and move on to further assist the hottie with the body. But, you know this more than anyone else; battles can change at the most unsuspecting moments. Let's get back to your battle, shall we?

Your orders seemed to me before pressuring. Not giving the Pikachu a chance to recover or make any movements. It was a smart strategy, and hopefully it would all come into play, effectively. Ahshan was first to execute its orders. It let out a smog attack the engulfed the two yellow mice, and then an ember which ignited the smog, creating an explosion with the two Pokemon in the midst of it. While the smoke began to clear, Magen used focus, increasing its accuracy. The female waited for any sign of visibility in the smoke, and a small hole opened up in the middle of the smoke, showing one of the Pikachu briefly. Taking this chance, your Squirtle executed its moves, using a double water gun at the location of the two Pikachu.

Then things turned terrible. Using the double water gun as a pathway, the female Pikachu sent out a thundershock. The electricity rode along the water gun, eventually making its way back to your Squirtle, making a direct hit. Magen let out a loud cry of pain, and at that moment, the smoke cleared. The female Pikachu was still charred and bruised from the last smog and ember combination. However this time, she didn't receive any damage. It appears as though the male Pikachu used its body to protect the female, taking more than its fair share of damage. It was obvious the male was coming close to fainting. Enduring attack after attack to protect his female companion.

Now it was Voltorb's turn. Its appearance seemed to shock Hannah a little, but it subsided. Focusing on its speed, Voltorb made off an incredible speeds. Its target? The female Pikachu. The male one didn't look like he was going to stand for this. He grabbed the female Pikachu, tossing her aside, towards Torkoal. She was worried about the male, but took this time to send out a Thundershock at the tortoise. Unfortunately, the paralysis stopped it from moving at an unlucky time it it was hit dead on. Meanwhile, the male Pikachu took the full hit of the Voltorb, and at such speeds it would deal a ton of damage. Unfortunately, Pikachu's Static ability came into play, paralyzing the orb Pokemon the moment it made contact. That moment however, seemed to freeze, or maybe it played in slow motion. Not even a split second after the hit, did the male Pikachu unleash a accurate thundershock on Voltorb, before the mouse was sent sliding along the ground.

The female quickly darted over to the male's side, who was struggling to stand up. This battle was definitely in your favor. However it was still heartbreaking. The male Pikachu was giving it all to protect the female. But, with this light of events it looked as though this battle was becoming more and more in your favor.

"The winner doesn't say anything to the loser," was a phrase Mr. Spotlight coined many times. Words like 'good fight' or 'you put up a real challenge' are empty, and ultimately are mocking. Casualties are expected in a battle, and Barzel would never forget this lesson. Life was no playground, not everyone can get what they want. The dreams of others are used as stepping stones for the truly ambitious. If anything, the winner must prove his worth by constantly reinventing and surpassing himself, for the sake of the opponents. In that case, if the opponents look back, they can see that they didn't stumble over a little pebble, but ran into a great mountain. Barzel was determined to become that mountain.

The Pikachu team was crafty, feisty and desperate. They say a caged tiger is when it is the most dangerous, and these creatures were certainty proving the statement true for themselves. They were fighting for more than fun or strength. Even survival wasn't the ultimate goal for these two rodents. It's gotta be something more than that, something that would make creatures do crazy things for one another. What is called, Love? Whatever the fuel was, the Pikachu were certainly driven and Barzel had a feeling that they wouldn't back down until nothing was left for them to resist. He wasn't looking down at their drive, but he was there to match his ambition and desire against theirs. It wouldn't be right to show mercy, not at this point.

Whenever Barzel felt he had them cornered, the Pikachu just surprised him all over again. They used Magen's attacks against her, and defended each other brilliantly. Even when the odds were stacked against them, they resisted. The Pikachu team managed to paralyze two of his own, and inflict some damage. Barzel, in a mixture of annoyance, surprise, amazement and anger mulled over his plan. He wondered briefly how Hannah would take this match, if she still had her viciousness or if she could see the connection between the two Wild Pokemon. For the record, Barzel wasn't heartless, and even he felt a jerk when he saw the altruism between the two, but Barzel still had ever fiber of his being set on crushing them.


Two paralyzed, not good, He thought, coming back to his senses. I need to finish this as fast as possible, limit the damage they can do, and quicken the capture. The sooner this ends, the better for all of us, including those two rodents. "Magen, keep strong, and fire off another double water-gun attack. Don't let up!" Turning towards Ahshan, his recently aquired fire turtle he said, "Shake off that paralysis Ahshan, and attack with a double smog! Then, blow up the poison gas with an ember." Overkill? Maybe. Last but not least, "Voltorb, you're electric, don't let something like electricity stop you! Build up speed and do a double tackle at whichever one is left standing." With any luck, this would all be over soon.

OOC:
Squirtle: Double Watergun

Things are working out pretty well for you, aren't they? It would be a shame if a Pineco appeared out of nowhere and just blew everything up, wouldn't it? Lucky for you though, there were no Pineco in sight, nor were there any in the immediate area. The only Pokemon in sight at the moment were your own, as well as those two troublesome, yet determined Pikachu. Oh! If you catch them, have you decided which one you will be taking yet? Well, regardless, at such a crucial time, something like this isn't important to think about. Winning is important, isn't that right? Winning, and capturing those two Pokemon. Your strategies were definitely top notch and well-rounded. They incorporated all your Pokemon, utilizing their abilities, and keeping your opponents on their feet. Since they were so keen on protecting each other, it makes sense that if you target one of them, the other will put themselves in harm's way. I guess this is the weakness love brings.

Ready to follow your commands, and eager to put an end to this fight, your Pokemon positioned themselves once again to attack. Magen was the first to attack. Her cheeks puffed out as the mouth of the turtle began to fill with water. Bringing her head back, she unleashed two magnificent torrents of water from her mouth, directed at the yellow rodents. Defending the male this time, the female shut her eyes, taking the full force of both water gun attacks. She brushed it off, and quickly moved back to the male Pikachu's side.

Now it was Ahshan's turn. The smog and ember to explosion combination was truly devastating last time and if it worked, this time would be no exception. Almost mimicking Magen in a sense, Ahshan's cheeks puffed out, his mouth filling with the smoke, before unleashing two smog attacks that completely engulfed both Pikachu. The female shielded the male, desperately trying to protect him. "Tor.." spoke the tortoise as he readied himself to use ember. "Ko-!" Electricity surged throughout his body for a brief moment, and the paralysis stopped Ahshan from completely the commands. However, the smog still remained there.

Finally, it was Voltorb's turn. Its interesting how you haven't named it yet, but I guess you want to get rid of it. Could that be the reason for not naming it like the others? Nevertheless, Voltorb began to execute the orders. Its sphere-like body began spinning rapidly, before the ball was launched into the cloud of smoke, intent on hitting whichever one came into view first. With their vision blinded from the smog, both Pikachu couldn't do anything, and the male was definitely in no shape to continue at the moment. At the last moment, the female shoved the male out of the way, taking yet another hit, this time by the Voltorb. It came around for the second tackle, but before it could make contact, it was stuck in its tracks by paralysis.

Angered and desperate, the male Pikachu began to focus on its special attack. He could tell he might faint soon, but wasn't about to let up. He would take down one of your Pokemon before he passed out, even if he had to push his small body beyond its limits. "Pii..ka.." sounded the rodent as the smog finally cleared away. "Chu!!!!" Its body emitted a thundershock, which struck Magen before she had time to dodge.

Well, all in all, even if things didn't go as planned, you still managed to damage the female, as well as the male a little as well. Sadly, Magen took quite a bit of damage, but what can you do? Things happen. Better get to thinking of another plan.

“Always fight like your life depends on it,” Mr. Spoltight told Barzel once or twice. “This way, when your life does depend on it, you won’t be scared shitless and will be ale to actually defend yourself.” It’s obvious, that unless something poses an intervention, or events go horribly awry, Barzel would be safe from the coming conflict. But this wasn’t enough for him to retract his fangs, full speed one hundred percent of the time, that’s the Spotlight method.

The battle was both frustrating and eerily satisfactory. These Pikachu were darting back and forth, evading attacks or taking the damage for one another, while shelling out their own moves back. Once or twice Barzel just wanted to shout, to squash those rodents, but he managed to keep his cool. In doing so, Barzel grew quite impressed with what he had seen, One defending the other, altruism at its finest. Either would make a welcome addition to his team, but he had his eye on the male. Beside, Hannah had already expressed her desire for the cutsey female, it’s all fair, right?

Magen was the only one who had perfectly executed her attacks, but she was also the one who took the blunt of the damage. It was tough seeing his partner suffer against electricity, her weakness, but if anything the attack just fanned his desire for victory even more. “Magen!” he shouted promptly after she recovered from the electrical outburst, “Double bubble! Keep it wide and hit both of the Pikachu.” With any luck, that should be enough to put the rodents down to sleep.

Just in case though, was plan B. Burn the hell out of them! This is where Ahshan, came into action. Last round was a bit disappointing, but paralysis was going to strike sooner or later, “Ahshan, shake off the electricity as best you can. Double smog, build up that poisonous cloud as best you can, then explode it with an ember!” In a sick, twisted way, Barzel recited a nursery rhyme in the back of his mind, ashes, ashes they all fall down.

If plan B still wasn’t enough, plan C would kick in. Operation clean up! “Voltorb!” Barzel yelled at the metallic ball, “time for the fatality! If the Pikachu are still moving after these attacks, don’t let up and go for a tackle! Hit one, then the other, don’t stop until they are down!” But maybe this was over-kill, still, better safe than sorry.

Taking out two unused Pokeballs from his pack, Barzel was in position to end this thing. There would be no fat lady singing, but a few Pokeballs should do the trick. Dang was he glad he splurged on Pokeballs before hand, otherwise, wouldn’t he look quite the fool. Looking back at Hannah, Barzel relaxed slightly, drinking in her appearance, and said, “Don’t worry. Almost there.”

Wow, you really want to beat these Pikachu, eh? You've got quite the fighter's spirit. Your orders seemed solid, except for one factor: paralysis. Ahshan looked like he was struggling to move his muscles and Voltorb was trying his hardest to roll a few centimeters. Magen was moving freely, but she was a little scared of getting hit by another couple Thundershocks. Not wanting to let the Pikachu have any time to attack, she let loose a wide Bubble attack at the two of them, quickly followed by another. Not a second after the Bubbles left her mouth did you hear the familiar "Pika...CHU!!!" that signified a Thundershock. The bolt of electricity shot through the bubbles, using them as conductors and jumping from one to the other. Direct hit! Magen was hit hard by the attack, but she was still standing. Weak, but standing.

The bubbles did their job though, as the male Pikachu just couldn't take it and collapsed. The female withstood the attack but she was panting, almost out of strength. She saw her partner fall and was filled with anger. With fury in her heart and fire in her eyes (or was that fury in her eyes and fire in her heart?) the little Pikachu let off a tremendous amount of electricity! With a loud "Pika.......CHUUUU!!!!!!!!" she gave a strong Thundershock right at Magen. The Squirtle wasn't expecting the attack, and she was knocked out cold! She had done her job and you should be proud of her.

The little Pikachu had quite a bit of fight in her. She looked from side to side, from Voltorb to Ahshan, just waiting for one to attack her. Well, they did. Voltorb just rolled his eyes at the feeble attempt of heroism and dove in for a decisive Tackle. With that the female Pikachu was out like a light. What an abrupt end to such a fierce battle. Oh well, not everything needs to be fireworks and grand explosions. Without further adieu you tossed the Pokeballs at their respective targets. The two Pikachu had put up a strong fight, but the red beam of the Pokeball sucked them in. It wobbled once...twice...three times.........BING! Capture complete! Both Pikachu were now yours.

You said before that you had your eyes on the male, while Hannah desired the female. That would work out greatly; Hannah gets a cutesy Pokemon, and you get a strong fighter. Well, that was about to change. "Ooh! I want the boy! He's so cool and tough, he'd be perfect!" Looks like your companion changed her mind. You didn't seem to have much choice but you give her the male. Well, you could just take them both for yourself, but that's hardly fair, is it?
