Bohmander bit down, his teeth sinking into Abra's side. I noticed that the Barrier slowed Bohmander down considerably, which was probably for the best given the circumstances. Once the attack was delivered, Bohmander jumped backward, as though anticipating a counterattack from Abra. However, no counterattack was forthcoming. Abra lay on the ground, clutching at his wounded flank, as though paralyzed - or perhaps he had flinched? Thunder Fang's effects manifested themselves somewhat similarly at times, so it was kind of difficult to tell.

Several seconds passed and Abra showed no sign of getting up. He was down, but not fainted entirely - if he was, John would be ushering me away from him, possibly giving the Abra some medicine so that his wounds could heal more rapidly. But this was something different, a side-effect of the Thunder Fang.

I frowned, wondering what to do next. I couldn't very well gauge Abra's remaining health while it was lying on the ground. I sighed. Abra could withstand one more jolt, couldn't he? Arceus, I hoped so.

"One last 'Fang," I said to Bohmander. "Make it weak."

I could tell that Bohmander was displeased by the order. He liked to put out all of his power and to give everything he had. I sighed. "Don't worry, Bo. There'll be strong opponents to come!"

Bohmander rolled his eyes and let out a faint growl; I wasn't sure that he completely agreed. However, he complied with my request. Tiny, glowing arcs of electricity sparked across his gleaming dentition. He stalked toward Abra, waiting for a sign of life from the little fox, before lowering his head, ready to bite down to deliver a final, weak jolt to ensure that Abra would stay down while I went in for the capture.

Alice paused for a bit, thinking about what to do. Abra was flinched in front of her, but she seemed hesitant. She had a lot of options here - I didn't blame her.

After a moment of thinking, Alice made her command. "One last 'Fang. Make it weak."

Bohmander nodded, and flew at Abra once more. The electric charge in his fangs were notably weaker, to prevent Bohmander from knocking Abra out.

"Abra!" Abra shouted as the attack slammed home, knocking him a few steps back.

Bohmander returned to Alice's side. That was most likely his final attack. Alice would probably try for the capture now.

Abra wasn't flinched this time, however. He was very weak at this point, but he let a Shadow Ball loose at Bohmander. The black ball struck him in the flank, and the Salamence lifted the leg gingerly. But, it seemed mostly ineffective, which was hardly surprising given that Abra was on the brink now. This was probably the best opportunity for Alice to capture him.

Thankfully, Bohmander restrained himself enough to leave Abra conscious, although I could tell that even remaining awake was becoming a struggle for Abra. Bohmander immediately wheeled in his flight after the attack's completion, gliding back toward me and landing with a loud thud at my side. He shot me a glance, and I nodded. "Your job's done. Good work, Bo; now I just need a Ball..."

I reached down into my bag, grabbing for a Park Ball. No, I thought, I don't need a Hyper Ball or an Energy Powder - I just need a regular Park Ball! Believe it or not, being extra-prepared has its disadvantages.

Suddenly, Bohmander let out a low warning snarl. I looked up to see Abra preparing another Shadow Ball; the tenacious little creature wasn't being taken without even more of a fight than it had already given. Bohmander grunted as he was hit. He nosed at his leg and lifted it tentatively, but he seemed to be mostly all right. I kept rifling through my bag, eventually rewarded by the finding of one Park Ball. I pulled it out eagerly, ready to attempt the capture.

With an ease born of practice, I tossed the Park Ball. It bounced off of Abra's head before snapping open, sending out a tongue of red light, engulfing Abra in it, and sucking him up in one smooth motion. It then fell to the ground, landing in the damp grass and beginning to wobble. I watched it carefully, tense, unsure what would happen. Abra was pretty damn weak, but Pokemon are resilient creatures, and there was just no way to be sure of what would happen.

"Your job's done. Good work, Bo; now I just need a Ball..." Alice said. She rummaged in her bag wildly for a Park Ball, clearly struggling to find it. I guess nerves played into that a little bit - during my first capture in the Park, I recalled being nervous myself.

Alice pulled a Park Ball out at last, and threw it at Abra. The ball boinked off of Abra's head, and then sucked him up. It began shaking.

One shake, two shakes, and then a third shake. Then, it stopped. I smiled - Alice had captured Abra!

"Congratulations, Alice," I said, walking over to the Park Ball and picking it up. "you've captured your first Pokemon in the National Park! I'll hold on to Abra until the end of this run, at which point you can decide whether or not to claim him as one of the three Pokemon you take out with you. Meanwhile, you can catch your breath for a moment if you want, and then we can continue when you're ready."

The Pokeball's shaking slowed to a perfect halt. I could feel the grin spreading across my face. The Abra had been captured! A childlike grin spread across my face.

John walked across the empty space that had previously been a battlefield and picked up the Park Ball. "Congratulations, Alice," he said, smiling, "you've captured your first Pokemon in the National Park! I'll hold on to Abra until the end of this run, at which point you can decide whether or not to claim him as one of the three Pokemon you take out with you. Meanwhile, you can catch your breath for a moment if you want, and then we can continue when you're ready."

Rest was the farthest thing from my mind, but Bohmander looked like he could use a little of it. I nodded to John. "Thanks!" I then turned to Bohmander, inspecting him for wounds. The only area on him that I found to be badly wounded was his flank, where the Ice Punch had struck. Several spiked shards of ice were still stuck beneath his frosted scales. "Try blowing a little Ember on it," I suggested. It wouldn't hurt him much, if at all.

Bohmander bent his neck and breathed a small stream of glowing red embers over his side. The ice melted away, and several frosty flakes fell to the ground. Bohmander stretched, his muscles rippling beneath his blue scales. I could tell that he was feeling a good deal better with the coldness melted away.

"You good to go, Bo?" I asked, rhyming deliberately. "Mence," he answered, shaking the leg that had been hit by Abra's Shadow Ball previously. I turned back toward John, still smiling.

"We're ready when you are," I told him, patting Bohmander between his shoulder blades. I looked out into the misty forest, wondering what other Pokemon were waiting for us.

@VeloJello

"Thanks!" Alice said, turning to Bohmander to give him a quick check-up. There were a few shards of ice left over from Abra's Ice Punch, but Alice told Bohmander to use a light Ember on the wound. I found myself a little surprised - but pleasantly so - by Alice's care for her Pokemon. I watched as Bohmander's Ember melted the shards away.

"You good to go, Bo? Alice asked. The Salamence nodded, and Alice turned to me. "We're ready when you are."

I nodded. "Let's keep going, then."

We went further into the fog, and now our visibility really began to plunge. I walked slowly so that Alice wouldn't lose track of me, but also so that I didn't trip on the debris strewn across the valley's surface. All these jagged rocks lying about were from the battles of the Psychic Pokemon that resided here, throwing rocks all over the place during those battles.

It wasn't easy to find Pokemon in this fog, but I made sure to keep my eyes peeled. I didn't expect anything that great right after a gem like Abra.

"So!"

I turned to my right, where the cry had come from. Watching us with evident interest was a small green bubble, floating a few inches off of the ground. This was Solosis, the pre-evolution of Reuniclus. I had to admit I was a little surprised - Solosis was nothing to be overlooked. I had a Reuniclus myself, and I was quite fond of them. After seeing something like Abra, this was really a pretty good find.

"Interested?" I asked Alice.

"Let's keep going, then."

I followed John deeper into the forest, noticing how thick the fog was growing. Within minutes, visibility had dropped to about nothing and our pace slowed to a crawl. I had to recall Bohmander back to his Pokeball because he kept stubbing his toes on the boulders that littered the valley floor.

I also noticed that there was a profound silence about this place. It was as if every living thing had been silenced and all sound replaced by mist; almost as though -

"So!"

Well, I stand corrected.

I turned, looking to the right. The high-pitched sound had come from behind, where a blob of green matter was hovering above the fog-shrouded ground. I squinted at it for a few seconds before deciding that my Pokedex could scan it and save me the eyestrain.

'Solosis, the Cell Pokemon. It -' I cut my Pokedex short with a click of a button; all I needed was the name. Besides, hearing the 'Dex's loud, mechanical voice blare through the already creepy woods just seemed a bit eerie. I looked at Solosis, curious. I had seen people using Reuniclus in my home region of Unova. It seemed to be an excellent battler - a powerhouse of psychic might, if a bit slow and bulky. After a few seconds' worth of thought, I found myself nodding.

"All right," I said. "Darius, you're up."

I let my Serperior out into the misty woods; neither the sight of the creeping fog nor the very curious Solosis gave him pause. He seemed to be looking around for his opponent, so I pointed at the wild psychic-type to help him out. He gave me an indignant glare, to which I replied with a glare of my own. "Don't underestimate it, Dar. Bo just got scuffed up pretty good by an Abra. Besides, the Reuniclus family are titans of special-attack. This won't be a boring battle."

My snooty snake didn't seem particularly convinced, but he didn't seem to want to argue further. Instead he turned toward Solosis, ready for orders.

"Use Slam," I command, "and follow up with a Wrap while it's dazed. Savvy?" he lunged without a response, his sinuous body slithering swiftly across the mist-slicked mosses, ready to throw his whole weight against Solosis. I winced - maybe I should have used Bohmander. I got the distinct impression that Darius wasn't going to hold back.

BP-1: Serperior VS Solosis

Ranger John Shay

@VeloJello ; Really sorry about how long this post took. Last weekend was hectic for me.

"All right," I said. "Darius, you're up."

Darius, Alice's Serperior, took the field this time. I was interested to see how Alice would battle with him. A Serperior was certainly nothing like a Salamence.

"Use Slam," I command, "and follow up with a Wrap while it's dazed. Savvy?"

Darius nodded, and jumped at Solosis. His large tail smashed into her body, and she was knocked back a few feet by the sheer strength of the blow. Darius stayed on the attack, snaking his long body around Solosis and then trapping her with his body.

"Solosis!" she cried loudly as Darius began to squeeze tight.

However, while Solosis was in pain, she was still able to attack. Psychic-types mostly relied upon their psychic abilities - those would come in handy here. Solosis began glowing brightly, and a blast of psychic energy that looked like it contained all the colors of the rainbow was launched in all directions - the highly versatile Psywave attack.

Darius winced, but maintained his grip around Solosis. From that distance, Psywave would definitely have been a stinger, but Darius was powerful enough to keep his grip intact.

ooc: Sorry I took so long. Rangering is hard! XD

Darius's aim was true. The tip of his tail struck Solosis like a fist, knocking the greenish blob backward. Darius didn't stop moving; he went right into his next attack, launching himself through the air at Solosis and coming down with a loud thump, wrapping the full length of his body around Solosis's tiny self. His muscular length contracted, squeezing hard. I winced - that was a grip that could break bones at full strength. It seemed that Darius wasn't going completely savage, however, as Solosis was still able to turn around and shoot a blast of prismatic energy at Darius and hit him full in the face. My grass snake shook his head as if dizzied by the attack but held on, retaliating with an extra squeeze.

"All right, Darius, that's enough!" I called. Following his orders like the perfect little soldier - as if - he uncurled his body and slithered backward, moving toward me, waiting for his orders. I sized up Solosis, wondering how best to proceed. I needed to deal damage, but not too much... And it would really help my chances if I got Solosis immobilized somehow. Slam was the ideal move, but I was afraid of some sort of trickery from Solosis.

"Use a Vine Whip from a distance to daze Solosis!" I shouted to Darius. "Then, use Slam again!" My perfect little soldier raised his body off the ground before beginning his Vine Whip attack; two long green vines rose from within his collar. He slithered closer to Solosis, ready to smack her with the vines and so begin his second assault.

@VeloJello ; No worries, I've got quite a bit on my plate as well lol

"All right, Darius, that's enough!" Alice shouted. Darius nodded, and released Solosis. The Pokemon crumpled to the ground, clearly hurting from the move. Alice continued pushing, getting right back on the attack.

"Use a Vine Whip from a distance to daze Solosis!" Alice shouted. "Then, use Slam again!"

Darius nodded, and a vine reached out from within the collar around his neck. The vine reached out and slapped Solosis across the face. As the Pokemon recoiled, Darius sprung himself at Solosis, slamming his tail into the Pokemon with another Slam move.

"Solosis!" she shouted. But, she maintained her ground. Clearly wanting to level the playing field a bit, she unleashed a powerful Psychic attack. The blast of blue energy collided into Darius at a high speed, and knocked the Pokemon to the side. I was impressed - that had been a strong one. Solosis must have realized how bad she was getting beat and allowed the adrenaline to kick in, because it was doubtful a Psychic attack would do that much normally.

Darius slowly picked himself up, and slithered around Solosis slowly, waiting for his next order.

Darius struck Solosis across the face with a vine, causing the little Pokemon to yelp and retreat a handful of inches. Darius used the opportunity to lunge, slamming his tail into Solosis to deal some real damage. Solosis let out a loud cry as she was knocked backward. However, the little Pokemon continued to hover, determined not to let Darius get the better of her. I couldn't help but be impressed by her fortitude; not many Pokemon would stand against such a powerful opponent like Darius willingly.

A blast of bright blue energy left Solosis's body in a sudden rush. Darius hissed, coiling his body to brace himself, but despite his precaution the attack knocked him to the ground. I was surprised - Solosis must have been desperate, letting all of her power like that. Slowly, Darius rose, hissing angrily and circling around Solosis menacingly, his sinuous body tense, his leafy ears twitching - the only visible display of anger he would make. I watched him carefully, trying to gauge how hurt he was. It was always hard to tell with the Serperior; no matter how bad he felt, he always tried to mask it, as if pain was equivalent to weakness.

"Use Wrap again!" I shouted. "While you're at close range, use Mega Drain to give yourself some healing!" Darius didn't have to be asked twice. He lunged, moving quickly to make his strike.

Ranger John Shay

@VeloJello ; Again, sorry about how late this one comes.

Alice immediately got back on the offensive.

"Use Wrap again!" she shouted. "While you're at close range, use Mega Drain to give yourself some healing!"

Darius wasted no time, coiling himself against Solosis once again. Solosis cried out, but she couldn't do anything - at this point, she was too exhausted. Darius squeezed tightly, and then, dark green bubbles of energy appeared from Solosis' body and were leeched into Darius. This was Mega Drain, the health recovery move. It wasn't as powerful as the similar Giga Drain, but it was still a solid move with a nifty side effect.

Solosis cried out loudly, and I watched her struggle for a few more moments. Then, she was finally able to muster up the energy she needed and knock Darius away. A black ball of energy appeared in front of Solosis, and she flung it right into Darius' neck. The attack, of course, was Shadow Ball - we had already seen the Abra that Alice captured earlier use the same move.

Darius immediately recoiled, and backed off. After replenishing his health with Mega Drain, it seemed Shadow Ball's effect had been effectively negated, returning him to about where he was earlier. Solosis, however, was clearly beginning to tire. She was nearly ready for a capture.

Darius threw his body around the exhausted Solosis, who cried out in pain and protest but made no other move to escape. Squeezing hard, he contracted his coil until he was dealing damage. As he squeezed, little green orbs of energy leeched out of Solosis's body, floating toward Darius and sinking beneath his scaly skin. The Giga Drain attack would be doing its work inside, in Darius's muscles and blood, boosting his natural healing speed hugely for a very brief time with the use of Solosis's life force.

For a few brief seconds, I thought that Darius was just going to keep constricting Solosis until the little green blob of plasma fainted. However, Solosis managed to scrape together just enough strength for another attack. A swirl of inky blackness formed in front of her body, coalescing into a sphere of shadows that she quickly blasted Darius with. Darius let out a hiss of surprise as the Shadow Ball attack struck him just below the collar, sending him flying backwards. He landed in the leaf mold with a loud thump before picking himself up and slithering away with a prim air about him. He seemed to be fine; that Mega Drain had helped his health a good deal, and the Shadow Ball didn't seem to have put him too far back. Solosis, however, was a different story. She looked battered and bruised, and she just barely floated above the ground. I knew that I would be hard-pressed to find a better opportunity to capture the Psychic-type.

Feeling a good deal more confident than with Abra - for whatever reason; my brain is weird - I waved Darius away, calling out, "All right, good job, Darius!" He slithered obediently to the side, giving me a clear shot at Solosis. I reached back into my bag, rifling through it quickly but not in too much of a hurry, until I pulled out another shiny Park Ball. I tossed it through the misty air, watching as it bounced off of Solosis's gel-coated body - nearly knocking the poor thing to the ground in the process - and popped open with a mechanical snap, sending out a bright red beam of light that engulfed Solosis and swallowed her up. With another snap, it shut and dropped onto the soft ground, rocking from side to side as Solosis tried to break free. I watched carefully, willing the Ball to stay closed.

@VeloJello ; I haven't found anyone to take this run yet, but I feel like it's wrong of me to leave you hanging while waiting. So, I'll continue doing this until I find somebody, if I can. Again, sorry about this lol.

"All right, good job Darius!" Alice shouted. The Serperior returned to her side, and she now took out a Park Ball. I had to admit I was a little surprised. Solosis seemed to have a good chunk of health left, and I personally would've attacked again before trying for the capture. I watched to see what would happen as Alice threw the Park Ball.

Solosis was sucked into the capsule, and it began wobbling violently. However, as I predicted, Solosis still had some energy left. The ball shook once, then opened up again as Solosis flew out, throwing the ball back into Alice's hand at the same time. I suppose she was fortunate that the ball had come right back to her rather than falling somewhere where it would be hard to retrieve or exploding altogether, but it was clear that Alice needed to make one more small push before she could safely seal the deal.

"Alice, I think you may need to attack once more before you can capture Solosis," I said. "However, if you don't want to waste time and energy doing that, feel free to try your luck at another capture attempt instead."

Solosis didn't waste the opportunity as I gave advice to Alice and distracted her from the battle at hand. Solosis fired a bright, multi-coloured beam of energy at Solosis - the Bug-type attack, Signal Beam. Serperior immediately recoiled as the attack landed for super-effective damage, but it didn't look like anything to get too worried about.

If I were Alice, I would pay more attention to the choice facing me: attack and significantly improve my odds of a capture, or skip the attack and bet on the coin toss that the next capture attempt on Solosis would be successful.

OOC: Lol, short post is short. Sorry it's not very great - I'm pretty busy atm. :(

Unfortunately for me, Solosis managed to escape. As she broke out of the ball, however, it was snapped back into my head, so everything wasn't lost. I closed my fingers around the Pokeball and scrunched up my nose in frustration. This Solosis was starting to get on my nerves.

I looked at Darius. He seemed to be in a fair bit of pain from that Signal Beam. I needed to knock Solosis's health down further anyway - I may as well do it in a way that would help my own Pokemon out. "Darius, use one more Mega Drain!" I shouted, readying the Park Ball in my hand. Once he finished with his attack, I would toss it, and hopefully catch myself a Solosis.

Darius's body began to glow with a faint green energy and he closed his eyes to focus. Tendrils of light rose from beneath his leafy collar, twin beams of energy arced toward Solosis. I watched carefully for my chance, waiting until the Mega Drain had run its course to try capturing the wild Psychic-type one last time.
