Thread: Pokemon: Darkside (start up)

OOC: 'Cause Lotad is weak to Electrics. And it wasn't easy. He got fried.

"Both of you, behind me! I got this!" Eliot said. "Go, Flaafy! Use Thundershock!" The sheep pokemon came out of the ball and shot a jolt of lightning at the enemies.

"Jason, could you make Charmander use Smokescreen?"

"Yeah, we've seen how well you 'get this'." Tana snapped, "Ready, Cynders?"

"Cyndaquil, cynd!"

((yes they are normal pidgey in every way, but they are stronger, uncatchable, and very aggresive.))

One pidgey got hit directly, and went down nose diving into the dirt. The rest of the flock got even more angry and all began to peck Eliot. Jason figured Eliot could use a hand and sent out Jercio who especially ignored Eliot and used to Dragon Rush to pounce on and pin one of the pidgey's before delivering a nasty slash to its face.

"Cynders, Ember!"

"Cyyynn....quil-quil-quil!" Cynders shot a volley of little flames at the Pidgeys.

One of the embers hit Eliot's sleeve, but all the rest hit one of the pidgey's who now turned its anger to Cynders.

Jercio continued to wrestle with the pidgey it had pounced on. A normal one would have gone down by now. The pidgey pecked Jercio hard int he face forcing him to get off, but it also led him to spray fire at his foe causing them to burn.

"Now use Tackle!"

"Quil!" Cynders lunged and slammed into the Pidgey.

"Cotton Spore! Water Gun!" Eliot said. Mareep started shaking, releasing balls of cotton to obstruct the pidgey's views as he sent out Lotad, who shot a powerful jet of water at one of the Pidgey.

Just then a Pidgeot also infected with Primal Toxin swooped in.

"Everyone back away now! Arcanine, fire blast!"

A massive flame flew past all the new trainers and hit the Pidgeot dead on. Jason looked quick to see Gary Oak and his Arcanine standing not too far from the group. When the Pidgeot fled so did all the Pidgey. Jason breathed a sigh of relief. Those were pidgey and they were giving the group problems. He also spotted the pidgey Eliot's mareep knocked out and picked it up.

"I'll take that one back to the lab. These Primal characters are relentless. turning harmless pokemon into abominations." Gary said taking the unconscious pidgey.

"Just more proof of why we need to be ready." Jason growled.

"There is nothing wrong with being careful Jason, but don't forget this journey is about you and your pokemon growing. don't lose site of that." Gary said before he and his arcanine left.

Tana picked Cynders up and he curled-up against her. "That was scary," She admitted quietly.

Jason growled a bit containing his anger. Primal was really good at getting under his skin.

"Let's just go." Jason muttered.

He pulled out his radio and put in some earbuds then put on his favorite station and listened to Godsmack.

Cynders scurried over to him and jumped on his shoulder.

"Cynders!" Tana scolded, "Sorry. He's very friendly."

"Just make sure he learns his bounderies." Jason said picking up the cyndaquil and putting it down before Tana.

Jercio then ran up behind Jason and asserted himself as Jason's wing-man by giving a very thorough warning to Cynders.

Cynders said he was sorry and ran back to Tana, who picked him up.

The group proceeds up the route for about an hour or two. Jason keeps to the right edge of the path trying to keep distance from the others. He's already in a bad mood from the pidgeys, and doesn't want something to push him over.

"I thought you were too smart for us, Jason." Eliot said to him when he ordered the group to go. He turned to Tana.

"So what are you a trainer for? Or are you doing contests?" He asked.
