“I would like to buy a Pokedoll,” Sammy said from behind me. “I’m worried that this guy may be beyond my abilities.” She reached for her wallet and passed me a bundle of cash.

I placed the cash in my pocket and pulled out an Oddish Pokedoll. It was the size of a football, and adorable if I do say so.

I gave the Snorlax another hard look and said, “Sammy here is feeling nice today, so she is giving you a Pokedoll.” My voice hardened. “However, I better not catch you going through another ranger building again, otherwise we are going to have words.”

The Snorlax narrowed it eyes at me, but grunted a moment later in acknowledgment. It grabbed the doll I had tossed to it and stalked off, still grumbling to itself. I was about to tell Sammy would could move on now when a mushroom-like Pokemon appeared from behind a bush. It was purple with short limbs, and a red mushroom top with yellow spots. It was a Vileplume, a Poison and Grass type.

“Another rare Pokemon, you want to battle it?”

Gaius took the money from me, and he pulled a doll from his bag. He looked at the Snorlax.

“Sammy here is feeling nice today, so she is giving you a Pokedoll.” His voice got stricter “However, I better not catch you going through another ranger building again; otherwise we are going to have words.” I wounded for a second what kind of word you could give a Snorlax that would not make him try to eat you. I decide not to think about that. The Snorlax made a strange sound. Then when Gaius tossed it, it followed it.

Suddenly a strange smell entered. No, not strange, disgusting. A flower seemed to be walking towards us, until I spotted the blue that was under it.

“Another rare Pokemon, you want to battle it?” Gaius said. I knew what this Pokemon was, a grass and poison type. It was a Vileplume. The Pokemon wasn’t the best at dishing out damage, but could annoy the heck out of you with status issues. It had moves that could poison, paralyze, or put you to sleep, and I had already used my Lava Cookie.

“I would like to avoid this on too,” I said.

“I would like to avoid this one too,” Sammy said, not wanting to catch the Vileplume.

Personally I thought it was a good choice on her part. The only Pokemon on her team that would stand a good chance against the Pokemon was her Staravia, and that Pokemon had already got a ton of damage. Vileplume was also a Pokemon known to use Status moves, and she had already used her item that healed that and none of her Pokemon knew moves to cure it.

The Vileplume must have not wanted to fight because it walked away soon as it spotted us. I shrugged at Sammy and headed for a path that would take us deeper into the Gardens. I was hoping some Pokemon there would be more to Sammy’s liking.

“You know, you should consider buying a Digital Camera,” I said to Sammy. “They are expensive, but if you go to the Park often they really pay for themselves.”

Before Sammy could reply, I caught sight of another Pokemon. It was a Pokemon that we had already seen earlier, a Roselia.

“You chance your mind about a Roselia?” I asked Sammy.

The large flower like pokemon looked at us then walked away. “You know, you should consider buying a Digital Camera,” Gaius said. “They are expensive, but if you go to the Park often they really pay for themselves.” I had herd about those, if you took a picture of a rare, or special pokemon, you could get money for them. I nodded, I would properly get one after I was done with this run. they did look handy.

“You chance your mind about a Roselia?” he added. I looked were he was looking and saw another duel rose pokemon. I have not had fun with that one form earlier, and I haven’t really changed my mind.

“I would like to see if we could skip this on too,” I said.

“I would like to see if we could skip this too,” Sammy said, still not wanting to battle the Pokemon.

“Alrighty, I don’t think the Pokemon has quite seen us yet. I’m sure we can sneak around it.”

The Roselia was facing towards the direction of the cabin and looking at everything, probably trying to figure out what happened. With its attention diverted, we were easily to go around the Pokemon without it becoming agitated.

We continued along a new path for a couple of minutes searching for some Pokemon, but we didn’t see anything. That wasn’t too bad a thing because we had just come across some quick encounters with some tough Pokemon. I spotted a small clearing and moved us towards it, I was sure at least two Pokemon would be in it foraging for food.

Just before we could reach the clearing I could hear some sort of noise in a tree about us. I looked up to see a Patrat eating some nuts. The Pokemon was watching us, but was still trying to crack open the walnut.

“You want one of those?” I asked Sammy.

“Alrighty, I don’t think the Pokemon has quite seen us yet. I’m sure we can sneak around it.” Gaius said, and luckily the little gay stayed looking away from use. We walked on for a bit, before coming across some trees. A small brown Pokemon was attacking some nuts, and then eating them. It was a Patrat.

“You want one of those?” He said to me. I looked at the thing, it was a Pokemon of the same rank of Zigzagoon, but it was a lot less cute. And when it evolved, it got even worst. It would then have glowing red eyes that came strait out of creepy pasta.

“I don’t think I want this one,” I said, “Let’s try to avoid it.

“I don’t think I want this one,” Sammy responded, turning away from the Normal type. “Let’s try to avoid it.”

Before I could give a reply the Patrat turned to stare at us. I could feel its small, beady black eyes boring into us with the interest of a person sizing up its competition. It must have decided we where too strong because it vanished from sight a moment later.

“Well, the Pokemon agrees. Let’s move on now,” I ended up saying.

I continued leading us deeper into the Gardens. The more we headed deeper into the park, the more the foliage blocked out view, making it somewhat harder to spot any Pokemon. We continued like this for ten minutes before I spotted another Pokemon. It was a Linoone, the evolved form of a Zigzagoon, a Pokemon we had seen earlier.

“Want to avoid that too?” I asked Sammy.

“Well, the Pokemon agrees. Let’s move on now,” Gaius said.

We walked on, the plants got thicker as we went deeper into the gardens.

“Want to avoid that too?” He said. He was looking at a brown and cream colored Pokemon; it seemed to have a arrow pattern on its face. It was a Linoone. It was know for running, and lost much of the cuteness that it may have had as a Zigzagoon. It was a very weak Pokemon, and wasn’t of much use. If I had wanted on, then I would have caught the Zigzagoon that we had found earlier. I sighed.

“Yes” I said. “I would like to avoid it.”

“Yes, I would like to avoid it.”

It was yet another Normal type we had run into and she didn’t want to catch. Unless she was looking for Normal types specifically, she should consider buying a Normal Repellant if she decided to come her again. Using it would allow her to run into more Grass type Pokemon.

The Linoone turned to look at us, and it hissed at us a moment later. It seemed that this Normal type was sticking up for its turf. Luckily for Sammy, this wasn’t a very strong Pokemon by any means, her Scraggly could easily put it down. She could however spend the money for a doll and avoid a battle altogether.

“Doll or battle?”

The weird looking normal type looked at us. It made a low hissing sound as it looked at it. I didn’t think that we would be able to get away from the angry normal type. Gaius’s words only cemented my fears.

“Doll or battle?” He said.

I looked at the thing, I may be able to take it on, but I doubted that we would knock it out with out a scratch, and I wanted to save my Pokémon’s strength. I looked into my bag, and pulled out the correct amount of money. After I double checked to see that I had the right amount I offered it to Gaius.

Sammy studied the Pokemon for a few seconds before she reached into her bag and pulled out some cash. She offered it to me for a Pokedoll. I took out a Zubat doll and tossed it behind the hostile Pokemon. The Linoone whirled around and took off after the Pokedoll.

This run was nearing the end so instead of heading the way I wanted to take Sammy, I decided to go for a side path that would take us to the gate. We should run into enough Pokemon there to complete the fifteen encounters.

It took us five minutes to reach the path, and another seven before we found a Pokemon. The Pokemon we found sitting against a tree among some flowers. At first I thought it was a flower because that’s what it looked like, but upon closer inspection I saw that it was a Cherrim, a Grass type Pokemon.

Gaius took the money then pulled a small blue bat shaped doll from his bag, then tossed it at the Normal type Pokemon. The rushing Pokémon well, rushed after the little toy. The dolls were pretty cute, and I could not blame the Linoone for wanting to play with it. I remembered that you could buy Pokedolls from the park shop, and make a note of getting one before I left. It would make a nice souvenir, and I could get one for my little sister, she would like that.

We headed down a side path, walking for a few minutes till we found it, and then walking on it for a few more minutes. We were some in a small grove with flowers and tree. It was rather pretty. A flower was moving in the flowers, and it took me a minute to see that it was a Pokemon, not a flower. It was a Cherrim. Cherrim was a strange Pokemon, Its game was that it could change its form in the sun. sounds good right? The issue was that fire types were also powered up in the sun, and that would not site well with the flower Pokemon. Cherrim was not very strong in the sun, and I didn’t think it would help me much.

“Maybe we can just pass this one,” I said

“Maybe we can just pass this one,” Sammy said.

“Sure,” I said.

I looked over at the Cherrim just as it looked at us for the first time. It’s eyes widened slightly and a moment later it booked into an underground burrow. That was a quick encounter for Sammy, but nothing was wrong with it because it saved her money if she needed to buy a doll, and it didn’t waste time.

I started back along the path, but halted a moment later when a white and green Pokemon popped out from a tree. It was Cottonee, a Grass Pokemon. It resembled a fluffy cotton ball, with yellow eyes. While it looked quite cute, it was a pretty devious Pokemon, known for its trickery. I alone had owned three of them, keeping one and trading the other two. If you had a Cottonee, you could trade it, there was always a market for one.

“You want it?”

OOC: Can the Cottonee be male?

“Sure,” Gaius said.

The Cherrim looked at us. Its eyes got big before it jumped into a bush and into a borrow that was out of sight. The small thing must have been scared of us. It was a contrast to the Linoone that seemed to be angry at us before. Were we really scary enough to scare the flower Pokemon away? I decide not to worry about that, it saved me effort. Gaius turned to go down the path that we were on, only to stop, he was looking at something.

I looked where he was looking and saw a cotton ball on the ground. Wait, that ball had leaves, and eyes! It was a Cottonee, a pure grass Pokemon. It was good that I had found one with the run nearing its end; I was worried that Lillipup would be the only Pokemon I would be taking out of the park. Cottonee was a good Pokemon, or at least that was what I had heard. A fun thing about it was once it evolved, into a Whimsicott, it could learn flying type moves. Moves like Gust and Tailwind. One of the strongest flying type moves, Hurricane, could be learned by it. The rare thing was that it goes those moves from leveling up, and not from breeding or Technical Machines. It also has some fun abilities. One was Prankster, which would allow for non damaging moves to go first, and Infiltrator, which would allow for it to bypass things like Reflect or Light Screen, which could be helpful in a battle.

“You want it?” Gaius said; bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Yes,” I said. I reached into my bag, and pulled out a ball. I tossed it up into the air, and caught it as it came back down. A red energy formed on the ground, and my Galvantula came out. He seemed the natural choice for this fight. While Cottonee would not take a lot of damage from Galvantula’s Electric type attacks, but it would take a lot of damage from his bug type moves, like Bug Buzz or Signal Beam. Staravia was also good for dealing with grass types, but she was weak, and Cottonee lacked the poison typing that keep Galvantula’s bug type moves from being very effective. Galvantula looked at me, and I pointed at the puffball with two eyes and two leafs.

“I want to catch that one two,” I said “And You’re going to help, start of with a Thunder wave, and then follow it up with a Bug Buzz!”

Thunder wave would paralyze the Grass type, and Bug Buzz would do some damage. Galvantula was know for doing special based moves, and bug buzz was right up his ally. I hoped that Bug Buzz would take a nice chuck out of the little puffball’s energy. I hoped that the attack would not be too much to knock it out, or I would miss the chance to get a nice Pokemon.

Galvantula ran towards the ball of fluff, while a blue light appeared around it. The light seemed to flow down to the electric spider’s feelers. A small volt of electrical energy jumped from the feelers towards the mono grass type. Cottonee’s ability to take electric type attacks would not matter with thunder wave, as it did not do damage. Its goal was to paralyze the foe. That would make the Pokemon easier to catch. Sleep was also good for catching. Other status aliments could help with catching, but poising and burning ran the rick of knocking the Pokemon out before it could be caught. Freezing would also be good for catching a Pokemon, but it was hard to come by. No moves could cause freezing directly, and none of the pokemon that I had with me had an ice type move. That was ok, hopefully paralyzing would be enough to make this Pokemon mine.

Galvantula jumped back after releasing the shock, and started rubbing all the hairs of its body together. At the sane time, he opened his mouth and let a horrible sound out. Luckily, I was far enough from the electric bug type to not have to here the sound. I knew that it was horrible from past experiences. It was strange, how noise could be seen as an attack, heck Bug Buzz was the strongest bug type move. It was also the strongest move that Galvantula or at least my Galvantula had unless he was fight a very slow Pokemon, and used Electro Ball. It could be taught stronger moves like Thunder, but I had not gotten to doing that. Galvantula was a very good thunder user, as thunder’s main drawback, a low chance of hitting, was countered by one of Galvantula’s abilities, compoundeyes, which would bring the chances of it hitting up a good bit.

Bug buzz was a special move, and Galvantula’s special attack was its second best stat, only bested by speed. It could use physical based moves as well, and got a few fun ones like sucker punch naturally. It was also a nice thing that Cottonee had lower special defense then physical defense. It was a small difference, but it would help a little bit.
Another good thing was that Cottonee was not a fully evolved Pokemon. It was a basic stage Pokemon which meant that I would not have to use a Hyperball or a Superball. I could just us a Parkball, like I did with Lillipup. when the puffball evolved, it would become a Whimsicott. it used a leaf stone to evolve, and while it was not a complete ball of puff when it did evolve, it still had a large puffy hair do.

After Galvantula finished with the noise, he jumped back, hoping to avoid any attacks that the pokemon would throw at him.

“Yes,” Sammy said almost immediately, reaching into her bag. She rummaged around and came up with a red and white small orb, a Pokedoll. She depressed the center button to enlarge it, and called forth her Pokemon, a large yellow spider.

The Pokemon was a Galvantula, a Bug and Electric type Pokemon, the only one if my memory served me correctly. It possessed high speed and special attack, meaning it could be a threat to most Pokemon if used correctly. The one thing that really set it back was that it didn’t have as diverse movepool as other Pokemon.

“I want to catch that one, too,” Sammy told her Pokemon. “And you’re going to help. Start off with a Thunder Wave, and then follow it up with a Bug Buzz.”

It wasn’t a bad start for Sammy in terms of moves. Thunder Wave would of course lower the speed of Cottonee to a fourth and allow a chance of fully paralyzing the Pokemon and not allowing it to move. In the battle though that might not matter if Cottonee used any non-attacking moves, which had increased speed because of Prankster.

The Galvantula responded to his master by starting to run towards the now aware Cottonee. With its many legs and high speed the Galvantula narrowed the distance between the two Pokemon in a short amount of time. The Cottonee was ready for the Pokemon though because it bounced in front the charging bug and blinked its eyes at him, portraying a look of pure innocence.

The Galvantula’s speed faltered under the sway of Charm, but it still fired the blue orb of electricity at Cottonee. The attack struck Cottonee, causing the Pokemon to jerk about as the electricity worked its way through its body.

Just as those movements faded, Galvantula fired its Bug Buzz at Cottonee a moment later. The Cottonee tried to dodge the attack, but Galvantula had fired the attack off at such short range that it couldn’t dodge. Cottonee fell to the ground from the onslaught of the sound move, but rebounded a moment later and fired off an attacks of his own, an Energy Ball. It wouldn’t do much damage, but the Cottonee didn’t posses any real moves that could hurt the Galvantula.
