Ah! So it begins! Your journey on Alternia is about to unfold and you couldn't be happier. With the sand in between your toes, it seemed to be a perfect start your to your short time on Alternia. It was a beautiful day on the coast of Millenia Town. The sun was bearing down on your olive skin. It felt so good to be warmed by the friendly sun. So this was the start of your journey? What would be your main goal? Would you try to convince the world that going barefoot is the way? Or just live your life and do you own goals? Who knows?! The whole word is alive and waiting for you to explore it. Speaking of exploring, a sound quickly perked your interest. As you turn around you see a Psyduck seemingly jogging along the beach on the sand. It was quite a funny sight seeing the duck pokemon jog very ungracefully across the beach. You couldn't help but admire his dedication to the run, but a small chuckle left your lips as you watched as he continued to jog. It reminded you of your days back home where you would go on your late night runs. The Psyduck continued to jog before he tripped and fell right in front of you. "Psyyyy..." The Psyduck moaned as he spit sand out of his mouth and looked up at you. He did not seem too interested in a battle, but perhaps he could be your protege and you could teach him how to jog with a wee bit more grace? Or you could just leave him there and let him continue to struggle with the trait? What would you do? The choice is yours! Welcome to Alternia!

Millenia Town On the Beach So you had just arrived to Millenia did ya? It was a nice town to start an adventure, you could always go to the beach, there were shopping centers, and there were even random food kiosks everywhere! However, like almost every other trainer who starts off in Millenia Town you decided to go check out the beach, and there is where you have a crazy argument with your Tangela and then watch a Psyduck trip over absolutely nothing and fall on it’s face. I like your journey already! Anyways, so you decided to attack the duck, and to be honest I don’t know if you planned on catching it or just beating the snot out of it for experience like I did to a Bidoof in my journey.. But enough about me, let’s get on to your battle with the savage Psyduck. You commanded V.F to use one of her almighty Constrict attacks, and then to use Sleep Powder. Your vine wrapped pokemon quickly charged out to battle and did just as you said. First off, she slung a vine at the Psyduck and was able to wrap it around the pokemon, forcing it to be still and causing a bit of damage. Then she released a Sleep Powder attack, which the Psyduck inhaled and almost instantly passed out. Well, I guess that worked out as plan? Now the Psyduck was passed out, and your Tangela’s Constrict barely did any damage at all.. maybe next round you should try a different battle tactic? Maybe even use a move from the GAL? Well, anyway, you had a sleeping Psyduck to do something with, and so I’ll let you get to that. You Versus! Enemy Edited by Vlad, Oct 27 2011, 01:31 AM.

"Well... then. You're as useless as the dirt beneath my feet. At least the powdery stuff that you got on my feet was effective on the duck." I spit in your ear at night, Herrera, just so you know. Sigh. At least look at me when you want to spite me, if that's what you're doing. "Oh, how I can tell that your angry without even speaking your language. Buck up, son, this is better than your performance with Maisy's Aipom back in the day. You went from being slapped around by a purple monkey to innocuously trying to asphyxiate a sleeping duck. A well deserved round of applause, I'd say." Still, what I said was honestly the first compliment I've given to Vibram since forever, now. I mean, I suppose she could be a decent with her vines up, but she can just be so lazy sometimes. I've fed her too much cynicism over the years and she her abrasive tone of voice. Christ, why can't we just be friends? "Look, V.F, not only did I come hear to put in some time to find people who can help me with my barefoot-related ambitions, but... well, I thought you and I would be able to act a little friendlier around each other, y'know? I mean, how long have we've known each other, probably since I was eight or nine? I don't know. Alright, I'm beating around the hedge again, and what I want is to say is, erm... ugh, damn. You know I'm sorry for all my stupid and excessive wryness towards you, right? Anyways, I appreciate you doing what you just did, putting the duck to sleep and all and how you're actually willing to try, um, so..." 'Soon as I got a second look at Vibram's eyes, there was still a shut door keeping me from peering inside her feelings in response to my trite train-wreck of an apology. She was willing to reply, though, with a tip of her chin, yet it was lacking of a personal input in response to my stumbling monologue. You're my only friend here, dude. At the very least recognize that much. Launchpad McQuack was patiently snoring out phlegm-ful ballads in the meantime, still constrained within Vibram's whip-like limbs. It's a shame they aren't sturdy enough to actually act like whips yet. "Oh yeah, you might as well let go of the duck in case it wakes up in your little cradle, there. Anyhow, take a few steps back and starting Focusing on strengthening your vines [increase ATK] and... wait a minute, what if..." Why not try and teach her Vine Whip? I may not know how long it will be before the duck wakes up, but I do have this window of time to give something new a shot and maybe even get Vibram psyched about actually fighting for once! Hopefully... hopefully she won't feel patronized if I try and teach her something against her stubborn nature. *sigh* Vibram is so goddamn stubborn. Alright, so don't forget what I just said, focus. Now, um, let's see here... we're going to try and learn an attack you might recognize as whipping your vines aggressively at an object, or something like that, so I'm going to call it "Vine Whip" as we go along. While you're concentrating on condensing the muscle mass throughout the vines you plan on using to attack with (though just keep it at two for now), than go ahead and Ingrain into the sand. Yes, it's a bit loose, but try to root yourself down as much as you can in order to stabilize your upper body for the next step. Umm, can you do that for me please before we move on?" Geez, Thompson, how did you instantaneously go from being a phallus-less beach bum to a bona-fide pussy? Is it because of the duck, because I could have gladly gotten rid of it without all that stuttering shit. "Why are you still looking at me like that? It's not like I'm telling you to tear all your vines off." It's not like I deserve a trainer with a little bit more backbone and sense of diction than that, man. Whatever. Look, I'm planting myself down now, okay? In a second, I'll have vines that can whoop big elite four Bruno and his ass, too, alright? Let's move on, fer Chrissake's. "Haha, what kind of face is that? Anyways, we've wasted enough time. Soon as you've shifted your power into your arm, start swinging them around like those helicopters we saw in, um, those Rambo movies we used to watch. Make doubly sure that you're rooted right now because I don't want you accidentally launching yourself into the waves over there. Lodge yourself nice and tight so you don't have to worry about that because I want you to spin your vines with as much energy as your ability to control it will allow. With the added power from implanting yourself in the sand to hold you in place, aim carefully at the Psyduck and hit it, one, two!, and hope that you don't miss, especially if your only about five feet away from it. The culminating damage that you inflict from your Strike should be strong enough to be considered equal to that of a Vine Whip, hopefully. Anyhow, you got all that?" Besides your ulterior motives, yeah. Move Training Synopsis -"Ingrain" in order to secure Tangela's body during the 'helicopter' stage -"Focus", raise ATK and strengthen vines -accelerate vines to a maintainable speed above Tangela -"Strike" (though the text implies striking twice, it is meant to only be once) Oh, and if the dialogue or my writing style seems confusing at all, please tell me. This is just a little experimental. Edited by Casual Tobias, Nov 4 2011, 09:31 PM.

Millenia Town - Beach Mid-Day Nice and sunny Ah Millenia Town. A lovely place to begin a journey. This is particularly true in your case considering all the barefooted potential a beach carries. Not to mention all of the people you could talk to about your special little feet. This town also happens to be home to a wonderful little scientific community with whom you can share your research (though they're mostly in physical sciences and engineering and all that theoretical mumbo-jumbo). There are endless possibilities here! Of course, with all of these incredible opportunities, you are here on the beach battling a duck. Well to each their own. V.F. was getting more exasperated than anything with your rambling description of a seemingly simple technique. Still, to humour you she planted her...er, feet? Whatever those weird red shoe-like things are on the bottom of her body. She planted those firmly on the sand and let some of her vines fall town to the beach floor. She had to search quite a bit until she found a good enough source of energy to latch on to. She not only anchored herself to the ground but was healing up from it too. Win-win! The next stage in your plan was carried out flawlessly. Who would've thought that raising your strength was as simple as merely thinking about it? Talk about convenient! Now came (at least what she thought) the silly part of the plan. Swirling her vines around in the air (after she let go of the Psyduck of course) she started to move them into a whirling motion. Eventually she managed to get them going at a pretty good momentum. Unfortunately, she didn't have as great control as she had thought and her vines got a little tangly. After untangling herself she tried again a bit slower this time. Once she thought it was good she smacked down hard on the clumsy duck dealing pretty decent damage. It wasn't perfect, most definitely not. Still, it was a good start. A few more practice attempts and she'll have it down pat. You'll have to work on getting the power in there without Focusing on her strength and without that time consuming helicopter motion, but other than that it's pretty much as simple as it looks, just whack the enemy with your vine. It helped that the enemy was in this case sleeping softly. Team Terra-Toes Team Ducky

Mumble mumble mumble... hmph, Nook's running out of batteries, already? Ugh, damn it, so is my Sansa. I suppose I should see how- oh, she's doing fine. Duck's still asleep. Huh, this is pretty f*cking dull. "Hey, Vibram, how ya doin'? Um, yeah. So... do you get the concept of Vine Whip, now?" Suppose. Just gotta know, will I have to stick myself in whatever's beneath me every single time I use this move? Oh, wait, you don't understand. Umm... "Er, okay? Oh, wait, I see why you're wiggling like that, I think. Well, I guess you're stuck like that, for one, let's see... Can I happen to get you out?" Doesn't seem like it, it took me awhile to grab a hold of this... whatever it is about several meters that away. No, but look here, will I be doing this every time if I'm gonna use these against that? "Umm, well, I'm not too sure what you're trying to show me. Umm. This. These. THAT. Can't I just deliver a simple message to you without your saying "Umm" to open and close your response every goddamn time, goddamit! What the hell is she trying to tell me? Pounding her vines into the sand like that... then whipping them around and pointing at the... wait. "Oh. Oh, I get you, haha! Sorry, it's pretty stupid how obvious it is now, sorry, hehe. Umm, I suppose you don't have to, like, use Ingrain every time a Vine Whip is involved. That was just so you could maximize the output of your Strike, though that duck is just sitting there, sleeping like it was nothin'. Well, while you're like that, you might as well keep Strikeing it until you exhaust yourself. You got the essential feel of how much more power Vine Whip has over Strike, albeit it ain't much, but at least you get it. Vine Whip's basically just a stronger version of Strike, as well as being a grass type move, which somehow works to make the difference, there, so... yeah, practice makes perfect, and whatever, so just hop to it. Bludgeon the bloody retard to the death, MWAHAHAHA. Ha. Ha. Ahhhh, yeah, learn how to use Vine Whip and get it the f*ck over with, already. I really want to start looking for some scientists of the foot variety." You're such a lazy kuznik, if that's even a word. If you wanted to meet some feet-fetishers whom share the same interests as you, why'd you drag me into a battle with a goddamn duck? It doesn't make any frackin' sense! "Yes, V.F, I'm still pursuing my barefooting goals. If you're screaming at me because half your body is stuck in your situation, then bare with it a little longer. I don't know why I wanted you to start beating up that duck, even though you aren't doing that great a job, anyhow. I'm already starting to regret the time I've wasted here, but it's what everyone else is doing and I might as well keep up with the crowd when it comes to this sorta thing, at least. It's culture and tradition, ya know? Sorry if you've never liked it, you lazy bastard." Kuznik. Frackin' kuznik. I'll let my anger out on this duck instead of you because it's squishier and doesn't have any wine grapes to provide for my dinner tonight. If there's one thing I appreciate about you, Herrer, it's that you have food that you're unafraid to share, and that's what life's all about, isn't it? Move Training Synopsis -Use Strike twice. ikr?

Millenia Town - Beach Mid-Day Nice and sunny Well you two certainly have an...interesting relationship. Food-based friendships always work out, right? Right? Well anyway, while you two were arguing about god knows what (considering the conversation pretty much goes one way) the Psyduck was busy stirring in his sleep. Yes, the little guy finally woke up! He looked around in confusion, not really sure what just happened, and when V.F. noticed the duck sitting upright, she smacked him hard and good with her vines. This time she did it flawlessly, getting the power and fluidity of the motion down pat. Wonderful! A second Vine Whip perfected the process. Needless to say, Psyduck didn't appreciate this show of force. A Tail Whip followed by a Scratch to your Tangela's face/mess of vines/whatever the hell her eyes are on was his way of saying "don't mess with me". This was one mean duck. Slow, but mean. Thankfully Ingrain was still in effect and so that helped clear away some of the damage. Well, this was a pretty good round overall. You mastered Vine Whip, and this duck is so close to being knocked out he's almost passing out from sheer exhaustion. One little tap will be enough to finish the job. I wouldn't worry about your health or safety, or V.F.'s. No, this will be a fairly simple matter of just whacking him with those vines one more time. What will you do after? Will you capture the Psyduck? Will you leave it here to be seen by anyone who passes by as a sign of your power? Or perhaps you'll throw him into the sea, or use his body as a surf board. The choice is yours, trainer! Team Terra-Toes Team Ducky

Herrera thinking - Lorem Ipsum Herrera talking - "Lorem Ipsum" Vibram FiftyFingers thinking/talking - Lorem Ipsum So. What now, boss? Wow. So the kid finally did it. Or, well, at least he did something. "Huh, not bad, not bad. You're still lacking anything even remotely resembling a signature move, but I guess thrashing about your little, uh, set of spaghetti straps is pretty apropos, wouldn't you say?" You use big words when you don't know what you're talking about pretty often, don't you? "What, did I say something offensive to you? Dude, I was just joking, get over it." Not until you feed me. Food goes in, indifference comes out. Fine, I'll feed you later, geez. Just about won your very first battle and all you can think about is snack time. Eh, I suppose I'd do the same. So I might as well wrap things up here with a Strike and start heading up, but... I wonder if there's something I can do with an unconscious body? Wait... oh, no, gross! Why'd I have to go start imagining things like that?! Goddammit, I hate you, you stupid piece of sh*t ass stupid ass f*ckin' mind and your stupid ass f*ckin... Umm... you okay there, buddy? ...Slippery, fackin', crackhole stafford berrack of a jack I hate that smack, DAMMIT! Pant, pant... Jesus Christ, that was scary; Thank God, it's finally out of my head. It's ridiculous how my mind automatically defaults to that visual region with a couple of crudely placed trigger words... it's f*ckin scary, too, is what it is. Sigh, now where was I left off from hmm... Oh yeah, disposing of the Psyduck in an non-super-disgustingly sexual fashion. Oh my God, never again. "Bro, you're pretty lucky that you're a Pokemon and haven't already been indoctrinated this stupid mind trick that makes you think of horrible, horrible things whenever two words with two broad functions come into play, hughguhuhuh *shivers*. Geez, I need to get my mind off of that stat. ...Alright? So get on with it so I we can sooner start satisfying my doctrine of food before thought. Or after thought, in this case, but whatever, just- "Alright, alright, I got your deal, already. Just... y'know smack it with a Strike or something, it can't be that strong anymore, stumbling about like that. But... meh, in the case that it is, shut it up with another Vine Whip, get some more practice in. A'ight, sounds good, G. Just let me flex my super sexy vines a little here and I'll just do some a this n' some a- "Wait, hold up, here." Geez, you really got to work on your conversational patience. We have periods for a reason, you know, whether you can tell there's one during actual dialogue or not. "Okay, okay, whatever you just said, I just remember something about the Psyducks from way back in Azalea and how they get headaches and all that. So how about we see if the thing will react in some awesome, supernatural way if we start smacking it upside the skull a couple of times, eh? Just aim for the head, no need to put out the extra effort after it faints. Yaya, hoorah, felicitations! you have successfully turned into a bona-fide sadist, how does it feel? Oh, oh, nope, don't tell me, it doesn't feel any different at all, am I right? Eh, whatevs, I'll go along with your thingy. Rest assured I will take the winegraps and run if that thing evolves into an Alakazam or something extremely f*cking crazy, who knows? "Your pupils are dilated, V.F, and it's kinda off-putting. Anyhow, if it doesn't do anything special, we'll just go for my five-mile run with the Vivos on just to scout the condition of the city streets and I'll get you back in your ball. Maybe I'll carry-run you someday, but I'll have to start doing some heavy lifting before then since I'm already carrying this decently cumbersome backpack, umph. There, slung nice n' tight. Well, whenever you're ready. I'm just in this for the lulz. Gotta get started on finding a podiatrist or the very least a shoe designer around these parts that can help me develop a minimalist shoe design in tandem with getting people to start going barefoot themselves. Not only can I rake in some cash from this, I'd be part of the trend that will do people some goddamn good, instead of making their pets fight one another so they can get stronger and fight even stronger pets. Oh, wait, sorry 'bout that; really, I meant 'partner', believe me. We've been over this, I don't care, just have those grapes ready and you can bind me in my own vines for 10 minutes. Just don't cover my mouth. "Right, right, glad to hear it. Anyhoo, let's get this over with, already. My sole is itchin' for a sprintin'." --- Attack Synopsis: -Strike head of Psyduck -If no effect, use Vine Whip on head |

.: Millenia Town .: Beach So far so good. Just a little more damage and V.F. gets her first win in a Pokemon fight. While you might be against fighting in general, at least you're winning this one. V.F. dashed towards Psyduck, giving a surprising jump into the air, and landed on the yellow ducky. The Psyduck collapsed under her weight. When she rolled off, you could observe the Psyduck's condition. As you watched the duck, the area around his head began to glow. Thousands of Venomoths began sprouting from the duck's mouth! Er, no wait, that didn't happen after all. No, as you watched, absolutely nothing of interest happened. Psyduck's eyes had rolled back in his head, but that was about it. If you were interested in catching Psyduck, now was your chance. If you wanted to do weird things to an unconscious Pokemon, well, now is the chance. Although it should be noted that this is a public beach- on a sunny day- with lots of people around. Just sayin'. Hey! Running! I'm not changing the subject randomly here. No, you might be interested in seeing the blonde girl jogging past you. Her pony-tail bounced with every stride as she jogged past you, and aside from her athletic build, you noticed her shoes. She's wearing those odd Skele-toes shoes, the kind that mimic the human foot structure! And following behind her is a Purrloin, probably her Pokemon. Could this girl share you passion for exercise and supportive footwear? Only one way to find out! ![]() Tangela gains 12 and grows to level 7!![]() Psyduck gains 4.1 for taking a beating.

Herrera thinking - Lorem Ipsum Herrera talking - "Lorem Ipsum" Vibram FiftyFingers thinking/talking - Lorem Ipsum "Alright, we're done here. If the damn duck doesn't want to cough out his inner freak show, then just leave the thing. Ain't got no need for another useless sleaze to feed." Eh, you're gonna have to do it whether I lift a finger or not, so I don't have nothing to complain 'bout. "Right, then. We've got business elsewhere, anyhow. I don't have the stamina to carry-run you today, so back in the red-white ball you go, 'aight? Sounds good, chief. Just call me out whenever you've got those sweet suckers served on a tray. *bloop* Well, then. First battle: total ownage, albeit a pathetic ownage, but ownage nonetheless. I came here intent on beelining to the nearest reflexologist/podiatrist/hot yoga lady who supported the same ideal I do: to gradually rid the world of shoes from the day-to-day social mores and, in the meantime, implementing unshod-dedness as the natural factor on a person's daily to-do list. You know, something along the lines of Kick off sneakers, make feet stronger, avoid osteoarthritis, endure love of cute, like-natured, barefooted chicks and frolic along the meadows and boast to the shod, male demographic what naughty things I've been up to without my shoes on. It's a long shot, but sometimes you just gotta make you wet dreams into a reality. Or keep it dry, I'm shooting for that, too. But come to think of it, Pokemon evolve, right? If V.F and keep on bludgeoning some poor fools who dare cross paths with me and my tumbleweed, what would that tumbleweed eventually become? Oh, yeah, Poketech thingy with the Pokedex, durr. Alright, so let's see what we've got heHOLY CRAP, THAT IS MOTHER***CKIN EPIC! Oh my god, I gotta tell- *bloop* Herm... wait, what the hell is this? Your five-mile run constitutes the moving from one location to another location, whether you end up in the same place or- pfft, why the hell are you jamming your watch into my face? "Dude, stop squirming so much and just look!" What? Hey, that thing looks.. like that Jolly Green Giant on those cans of string bean things, with the addition of dreadlocks growing all over his body. "What's with that confused look? Don't you see the resemblance?" Resemblance to whom? I've only been acquainted with the faces of about four people during my lifetime, and that doesn't even include me. Wait. These... those vines.. it's got, like, fifty-thousand vines and.. those.. red.. shoes. Well that's pretty ironic. So where'd this guy get the steroids? "Um, well, not sure if you figured it out yet, but this thing here is your evolved form, Tangrowth. Keep battling Psyducks and the like and you'll grow, like, another five feet and, and stuff! Although, I'd definitely would have to pack way more just to feed you breakfast.. alright, I'm scared now." Don't be. I'd be glad to protect from the big, bad, foot-eaters whom pursue the delicacies that are your feet in exchange for a lifetime supply of winegrapes to be eaten on a regular basis. Heh, to think I can turn into something like that just by whipping a couple of ducks into fragility.. this world is pretty darn silly. "...I guess there'd be no end to the limits of my badassery! On the other hand, I'd be almost half a foot shorter than my own Pokemon.. well, we'll figure something out. Seems like you don't even get to this point until you learn something called Ancientpower, which is inherently awesome, so. Yeah, I have plenty of time to go around looking for barefoot advocates, such as myself, and there'll probably be more if I wait it out, so how about we 'whip' you into evolving shape, eh? Eh? You can start calling me the "Cracker" if you don't stop with the stupid, stupid puns. "Hush the shush up. I think I see something that piques my intrigue over that direction. Is that girl... oh, God, she's wearing freakin' Skeletoes! She seems hot, but you gotta be stupid to opt for those things over the true Fivefingers. Or on a budget... I guess. Nevertheless, I'm game to meet someone with any credentials on their feet or... off, I guess." Either you 'guess' or you 'know', you 'numbskull'. Now, what is it you want to-wait, WHOA, THAT'S MY VINE YOU'RE PULLING, DAMMIT! "Oh, c'mon, I've seen kids use you as a maypole back in Azalea at least once or twice. We've got more urgent matters to attend to." You mean that girl? What do intend on- "Hey, yo! Those are some.. unique shoes you got there! My name's Herrera. Thompson. Would like to battle, perchance?" I am not going to forgive you for this. Edited by Casual Tobias, Nov 27 2011, 01:43 PM.

Overlord of Blowing $hit Up
|
By Bcadren: .: Millenia Town .: Beach If you really want a Tangrowth, you can tutor AncientPower at any time. I'm sure the Poketech could tell you that; just look at the evolution method. Daydreams aside; let's get a closer look at the running girl. With a bit of an annoyed look on her face, the girl pulled a stopwatch from her pocket, paused it, stopped and gave you a hard look. She scoffed, seeming genuinely offended that you interrupted her run. Giving you a hard glance over, she mused "Aren't you a bit old to be hitting on me?" It might have occurred to you, upon closer inspection, that the girl looked around fourteen; more like a young high school athlete than an independent woman. She was scantily clad for her age, but in some relatively high-end sports clothes. To supplement her Skele-Toes, she wore a red Underarmour sports brassiere and what looked like short shorts from the mid-80's, also with Underarmour branding upon them. At the top of these pants, held on by a belt and resting on her right hip was a North Face branded fanny pack, holding a water bottle and various personal and trainer items. Notably; all of her clothes, shoes and all, were red. Even her hair tie and sweat bands were red. Either she really likes red or it's her team color, hard to tell. "And what sort of lame line is 'unique shoes' anyways?" she mocked. "Unique? I can't even tell if that's a compliment or an insult. Those are some nice invisible shoes you got there. What are you a bum!?" The heavy taste of sarcasm was enough to make you sick. Seems like you'd heavily offended her, though the situation was more of a misunderstanding than justifiable malice. Apparently, the perverse daydreams you were having before addressing her were showing through in your demeanor. Perhaps it could be remedied, if you are a bit smoother with your words from here on out. Taking a moment to scan your pokemon with her Poketech, she flashed an evil grin. "C'mon Vinegar, let's show this guy." The pokemon started to walk out towards you to begin the battle, when she stopped it. "Just a sec..." the pokemon paused near her feet as she pulled something out of her fanny pack. "Take this." As she handed the pokemon a small hard blue berry, another pokeball nearly fell out of the pack. The cat gracefully walked over to you with the berry tightly grasped in his tail. "Now let's get that ugly mass of tentacles." With those words, the feline reared his back a bit and revealed his claws. Addressing you once more she called out. "I don't know what you're up to. If it's just a battle you want, I think we can take you. No backing down now." Well, the girl seemed rather annoyed at you; but she was giving the battle you were wanting. So, take the good with the bad; no backing down, good luck. BATTLE! ![]() Lv. 12 | (Vinegar) Item: Chesto Berry |

Herrera thinking - Lorem Ipsum Herrera talking audibly - "Lorem Ipsum" Herrera talking quietly [to his Pokemon] "Lorem Ipsum" V.F thinking/talking - Lorem Ipsum Well, that's one way to say hi. Jesus, does the city always spawn High School Musical understudy rejects like this? "Look, kid, from a distance you seemed much older... and don't flatter yourself with my mislead observation, because it's not only tempting to chase after a red-blood cell sprinting 'cross the sidewalks, it's an obligation for me as a passing citizen of this here city to make sure a suspicious anomaly such as yourself doesn't go unverified of its nature to run about like that. Tee el dee el, I was justified for making sure you weren't a walking cherry bomb." Wait... cherry bombs are red, right? Or is that just the name? "And on another note, little miss Annie, other than my un-upholstered pedestals that do me well without the arbitrary padding, I am perfectly clad in envy-inducing style ankle upwards. If I can do you the courtesy of averting my eyes from your lack-age of package, then you can do so for me. Wait, wait uh... when I say that I mean keep your eyes up here, not that I... y'know what, forget it, let's just get this started already..." My my, don't you have a way with the ladies *sniggers*. But I guess by the way she dresses, she doesn't have any carpet to mach her drapes. "C'mon, Viff, focus here. I'm looking at her Pokemon right now, and I am not feeling too great about you against it. That berry... oh piss-mas, that berry." What? What about that berr-wait, isn't that what ol' Kurt used to eat when he had to stay up finish furnishing custom Pokeballs for his clientele-Oh piss-mas, that berry. Shit, Sleep Powder's is all V.F's got to seriously debilitate the other Pokemon. Damn, this girl is way too spoiled if she can just come up with all the right knots for me to struggle untying with. I can't afford to not being careful here, so... "...go, Nincada." Huh, I didn't realize you had another guy under your belt. HA! Oh, er, sorry about that, dear buddy. The name's V.F, because my full name just sounds ludicrous. What are we doing, you ask? This guy will give you the low-down on that. "Thanks for giving a good, warm welcome, V.F, so whenever you guys are ready, I'll start." That means he's about yo give you some flavorful guidelines on how to whoop the ass of that guy over yonder, so let us listen intently. He may be a terrible, terrible person, but Herrera sublimates his heinous personality into something that's pretty damn fun. Nah, you just haven't gotten into it yet, no worries. Listen, just hear him out and you can decide for yourself if battling's fun or not, a'ight? Kay kay, hush up and nod. "You guys good? Alright. V.F, I'ma try teaching you a move real soon, so prepare to listen very carefully. Nincada, I want you to start Hardening yourself right now while I speak to V.F. "Alright, Vee, this shouldn't be hard for you to ingest all: I want you to extend as many of your vines as possible in order to create a dome-like barrier around you. Nincada will gauge and squarely guard as many of your weak spots as he can, you got that Nin? Cool. After you guys have established your two-man phalanx, then you, V.F, will have two jobs you need to fulfill the best you can. "First thing is to fend off as many of that cat's attacks as you can, feigning your actual body with a vine so the damage doesn't necessarily reach you, although I can't assure it won't entirely. But you aren't, and I mean definitely are not going to be thinking about fear here, no. I want you to get real serious and start thinking "I am as big as the reach of my arms, I am as f*cking immense as the Earth itself". Focus (atk) as hard as you can with thoughts like these and feel yourself getting bigger, stronger, transforming into a goddamn monster. The simple term for this is Growth, but I want you to believe as though you were evolving into a motherf*cking demon, ya got me?!" Yeah, I got it. "Pfft, what are you, a f*cking Magikarp? I asked you are you a mother-*&^%ing demon or what!" YES I AM A MOTHER*&^%ing DEMON, FER CHISSAKE. "Yeah, to hell with all you creepers starin', this is a mother-*&^%ing deathmatch, G, and no bitches tellin' me otherwise!" Ok, whoa there, Herr, I'm sure we all get your point, so just calm your tits. "*pant pant*... Wow, Christ, that was really, really weird, umm... er, sorry about that, everybody, my excitement got the best of me. I definitely did not mean what I just said. Oh, okay... sure, just walk away from the apologetic crazy man. Eh, whatever, to hell with them anyways. You guys got your priorities in check?" Don't you? "Great. I'll give you guys some split-second commands when other variables play in. Don't forget to win!" I'm sure that's not how that saying goes. Well, wouldn't want to look a gift-Ponyta in the mouth, or else intensive care would ensue. Battle Synopsis >Nincada*, Harden (x2) [Guarding V.F's blind spots] >V.F**, Focus [atk] [Lengthened vines to create moving barrier] [Attempting to learn Growth] *Will use Leech Life in response to Purrloin assault **Will use Vine Whip in response to Purrloin assault |

The Other Nick

Millenia Town~ Beach Well, I guess your plan was to freak everybody on the beach out and make them think that you were batshit insane, huh? That plan worked to perfection; people slowly got up and moved away from the battle site. Some were muttering simply that they were woken, but others were talking about your unfortunate case. Some claimed that you were a lost cause, and help wouldn't be able to fix that! Man, how these people jump to conclusions! The girl in red was sufficiently silenced with your outburst of insults to her body and clothing. I guess it's hard to make a comeback after so many low blows. "Vinegar, teach this asshole some manners. I'll play your game, little man. No damaging attacks this first turn? Got it. Use Sand Attack twice, one on each opponent, Vinegar." Who names their Pokemon Vinegar? Seriously, it's one of those names that makes you want to move away from the Pokemon whose name is so unfortunate. Anyway, Nincada moved to increase his Defense by Hardening his outer shell twice. Then he got into V.F.'s weak points to protect him. Interesting strategy, that phalanx; it was pretty successful 2000+ years ago, but now we have guns and knives and Gen V Pokemon! V.F. extended her vines out around Nincada and created a barrier of vines and bug. Of course, those vines of her were still part of her body, much like a Staryu's 'arms,' if you will; even though they are replaceable, it doesn't mean it won't hurt for a while before they are replaced. V.F. then Focused on her Attack. She could feel herself getting stronger, and she felt like she could deal a little more damage with a punch or two. She worked on expanding upon that feeling. But you must remember that there are two effects of the move Growth: upped Attack and upped Special Attack. V.F. instinctively knew that, but she didn't really know how to combine that with the boosted Attack into one move. She tried simply to increase both at the same time, but it proved much harder than she thought. Perhaps she needed to first work on expending energy. The energy might stick to her and bulk her up a little bit. Vinegar was just about sick of sitting there and watching nothing happen, so he started pawing at the sand under him. Suddenly he flipped the sand into the air as the wind blew in your direction. The first shot got into Nincada's eyes and he started blinking trying to get it out. The second Sand Attack wiggled through your Tangela's barrier and got her eyes too. But there was also another side effect; the remaining sand flew behind you and landed on a muscular young man with black hair and tanned skin. He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks. Before he even opened his eyes, you saw his face turn beet-red. He got up and stormed over to the two of you, angry as hell; his black eyes pierced both of you as you both fell silent. "All I ask is for one day without getting goddamn sand in my face! Is that so much to ask for? Who the hell did this?" He was unconcerned that there was a battle going on as his eyes alighted on Vinegar. "What the hell is wrong with you, girl? I'm sick of this. Come on Neptune, let's show Little Red Rider Shorts the way out of town." He threw out a Pokeball, and it revealed a Poliwag. This Poliwag looked like it had the wrath of its third form, Poliwrath, already. He looked at the Purrloin and laughed in its face. Vinegar hissed at him, but didn't attack without orders. The girl scoffed at both of you and said, "This isn't fair, you know! Two on one..." The man looked at you instantly. He looked you up and down and, deciding that you were worth working with, quickly said, "The name's Nick Wilde. Girl, you should have thought about that before blowing sand in my goddamn face!" The girl cursed and brought out another Pokemon: a Qwilfish. "Alright Ammonia, we'll take both of these shoeless assholes on!" Ammonia? Really? What, was her team's theme "Disgusting Fluids You Clean Your House With?"
{I just want to point out that you cannot give your Pokemon secret orders like Leech Life and Vine Whip in a trainer battle. The opponents, even if they're NPCs, must know your full orders. It's kind of like a trainer's etiquette type of thing.} Edited by MilesMilitis, Dec 31 2011, 01:34 AM.

Herrera thinking - Lorem Ipsum Herrera talking - "Lorem Ipsum" V.F thinking/talking - Lorem Ipsum "Damn me if I'm not happy to see you want to smack this lass upside the head, too. Uh, that.. lass part was ironic, just so you know, but I guess now isn't an opportune to time for pleasantries and shit. Good to meetcha, though, Nick, I'm Herrera." Auh, *&^% THERE'S *&^%ING SAND IN MY *&^%ING EYES. *&^%. "Umm, you think you could, y'know, have your Poliwag spray a tad of water on my Tangela's vines, here, so she can wash out the sand in her eyes? I'm sure you could sympathize, not to sound uppity or anything." Augh, please, for the love of Mew, help me! "Christ, it's just a little bit of sand, grow up. Nincada, I know you have Compoundeyes, so do you think you can hold? Great, awesome. Let's get back to popping Nena's 99th red balloon's giant ego before it literally starts looking down on us." Funny, funny, now could you please get ON WITH IT? "Fine, fine, fine, geez, Viff, calm down! Arright, Chris, I trust that your Poliwag is an ax-ee-o-mat-ickly bad-ass metherfecker, so you guys can do whatever you need- actually, let me check my dex for a sec, if you don't mind." Okay, water absorb, bubble n' hypnosis.. sehr gut. Poison point, sting n' tackle.. arright. Finally, *sigh*.. assist, sand-attack, fury swipes and that infuriating Chesto Berry slash Unburden slash messing up my goddamn life(!). Well, let the cluster-fest commence.. "That cat's existence is pissing me off the most. Nincada, use Harden again and be ready to defend V.F as she moves forward. Have a Leech Life hidden up your sleeve in case you see an opening on Purrloin, but don't bother with Qwilfish. V.F, we'll continue from where we left off last. Let's give you some room to expand your Growth on by expending the energy you got from honing your attack through two Vine Whips at the cost of the cat's puny, puny presence. That should quicken the pace of your blood flow and, although I'm not savvy on the specific implications of it, your body will probably limber up in response and some muscular strengthening should occur. Take advantage of this adrenaline stage by Focusing your Special Attack, the second aspect of this move, and you should be that much closer to grasping Growth. And Chris, if you could occupy that Qwilfish by putting it to sleep or otherwise so I can deal with Purrloin, then we can smack down a partition in this battle in favor of us and wrap this up that more quickly. Otherwise, do what you need to do." Ugh, thinking can be so exhausting sometimes. Edited by Casual Tobias, Mar 29 2012, 12:00 PM.

Millenia Town - Beach Well aren't you quite the character. Mr. Wilde just looked at you like you were some kind of crazy before shaking his head. "Yeah, whatever, I just gotta let off some steam. Neptune, send a Hypnosis at both of those Pokemon. DISPLAY YOUR WATERY GLORY FOR THE WORLD!!!!!!!! YOU ARE A GOD!!!!!!" Whoa there. And you're the crazy one? "POLIIIIIIIIIWAAAAAAAG!!!!!!!" Looks like Neptune has his trainer's spirit. Well at least they have each other, yes? Lil Red over there just rolled her eyes. Teenagers these days. "Vinegar, scratch that useless little blue tadpole with your Fury Swipes, then Growl at the lot of them. Ammonia use a couple Poison Stings on the mass of tentacles over there." Tentacles? Those are vines, you dingleberry! Well, I'm sure V.F. would've said something along those lines. Well, looks like you guys were headed for quite the battle. Neptune started things off by sending his two Hypnosises...Hypnosi? Hypnoses? Whatever. Ammonia dropped into a nice slumber immediately, but Vinegar woke up pretty much as soon as he went to sleep. Looks like Nick Wilde didn't notice the Chesto Berry. Oh well, at least now that's out of the way so you can put him to sleep without worry. Fortunately, due to his sleepiness and sudden waking up, he forgot to use Fury Swipes. Well how about that! V.F. whipped up her vines and slammed them down on Vinegar twice. The attacks hit despite her lowered accuracy, but the damage was pretty negligible. Still, damage is damage, eh? Finishing off her round she Focused on her Special Attack, letting the energy flow through her. This special energy combined with the physical energy she felt with her Vine Whips gave her a better understanding of how to use Growth. She'll still meed to work on it though. She'll certainly need to learn how to use the two energies at once, but she was off to a good start. Growth: 40%Not really knowing what to do, Nincada Hardened then shot a weak Leech Life at Vinegar, who brushed off the attack as if it was nothing. The Purrloin finished things off with a Growl. Neptune tried to give V.F. some water to brush the sand out, but that only caused it to sting a little. Oh well, you tried. V.F. was a little closer to Growth, and you were a little closer to victory. Huzzah! A good round hath been had by all! Well, except miss red. Team Herrera Team Red
