Knuckles continued to look on at the kid as he explained how didn't have a Pokemon, then seconds later an Eevee broke its way out of his bag. Knuckles rolled his eyes and shook his head the kid tried to say it wasn't his. This kid must really think they are stupid or something!

Oberon gave him the benefit of the doubt though and he told everyone to catch some Pokemon as he handed over 1 Greatball each to everyone. Knuckles took his, as Oberon told him how he could use some practice.

Right as Oberon joked about him needing practice, a Pachirisu ran over and stared up at him curiously. Knuckles laughed an evil laugh as he muttered to himself "Well I got a free Greatball, May as well use it." He then looked at the little Electric squirrel and said to it "You'll do". He then released his partner Pokemon, a Machop he called Intimidator. Intimidator's role was to assist with captures and intimidate his new Pokemon into obeying him. Knuckles looked at Machop and said "You know what to do Intimidator."

The Machop nodded then gave the Pachirisu a mean look and pounded his fist into his hand. The Pachirisu, now frightened, tried to flee but Intimidator jumped on top of it, tackling it before it got to far. Intimidator restrained the squirrel while Knuckles threw out the Greatball.

With the Machop on top of him, the Pachirisu was unable to resist and was easily captured.

Once the Pachirisu was securely in the Pokeball, Knuckles picked up the ball and put it on his belt. He commended Intimidator on a job well done and told him he could stay out of his Pokeball as reward.

Then Knuckles and his Machop stood quietly as they waited for everyone else to catch their Pokemon.

As the rest of the group finished catching their Pokemon, Oberon walked up to Knuckles in his usual joking manner. Saying "Aint it a thing of beauty Knucks?" and making the weird arm and hand gesture he sometimes like to make in order to congratulate himself. Knuckles just nodded at him, as Oberon continued "I should have bet you money on this. I bet you would have taken the action. Glad no one tried to run off with my pokemon, I would have hated to send you into squash em." Knuckles chuckled at the last bit and said "I wish they had, I would love nothing better to face plant someone into the dirt, would have made my day!" After a moment Brandon pointed to the weird kid with an Eevee who pretended not have it and who had also tried to sneak away like a little wimp earlier. He said quiet enough so only Oberon could hear "Especially the whimp over there... Someone needs to teach him some respect!" He then noticed the kid looking at him, so he shot him a weird look and waved to him.

After everyone finished catching their new Pokemon, it was time to move. They had a mission to complete! Of course before they left, Oberon had to joke about him again, telling everyone that everyone managed to not catch him with a Greatball and therefore they passed. Knuckles rolled eyes, he was not a big fan of humor, but he put up with it from Oberon since that was one of the only pet peeve he had about him.

After the jokes were done, Oberon went back to being serious, explaining how they had to deliver the items to one of the Galactic Admins and that they would pass a Pokemon Center on the way. Knuckles would heal his new Pachirisu there and then have Destroyer and Intimidator begin the process of 'breaking it in'. The group headed south until they reached the flower shop and Pokemon Center. There Oberon gave the group a nod, meaning to spread out.

Knuckles headed straight to the Pokemon Center, which was packed with tourists visiting from all over the region. Knuckles and Intimidator nudged their way through the crowd until they reached the counter. There, Knuckles handed over Destroyer and Pachirisu's Pokeballs to the nurse behind the counter. After a few beeps and flashes from the healing machine, the nurse smiled and handed him back the Pokeballs, telling him to have a nice day. All Knuckles could muster in response was a brief smile as he clipped the Pokeballs to his belt.

On his way out. he saw two little girls pointing at him and the others in the group who had followed him into the center. One of the girls referred to him as a 'Gorilla', which didn't bother Knuckles too much, since he was used to being called weird names due to his size. While he wasn't mad, he decided it would be fun to go over and mess with the girls.

He let out an evil laugh and walked over to the girls, Intimidator following closely behind him, and stood real close to the girl who had called him a gorilla and said to her in a loud, but mocking voice "What's a matter little girl, lose your Dolly?" then he and his Machop both chuckled a little. Then Knuckles noticed she had a Pokeball in her hand, so he said (again in a mocking voice) "You shouldn't play with Pokemon little girl... you might hurt yourself!"

By now he was dying laughing as he high-fived Intimidator. Now this was his idea of humor!

As Knuckles continued laughing, a voice came from behind him saying "Excuse me!" and then "You cant pick on kids that way!"

Then all 3 girls released their Pokemon on him at once. Knuckles now annoyed said "3 versus 1! That's not a fair fight... but either way my Pokemon are going to fight back!"

Knuckles released both Destroyer and Pachirisu. He hadn't had the chance to break in the Pachirisu yet, so he would just have to hope it would comply.

Knuckles told the Pachirisu "Pachirisu attack that Clefairy!" The Pachirisu just looked up at him nervously. Knuckles let out an annoyed sigh as he said "You have two choices... You can attack the d*** Clefairy... or you can take a beat down from Intimidator over here!" Here the Machop pounded his fist into his hand and stared menacingly the Pachirisu.

The Pachirisu took one look at the annoyed Machop and turned to the Clefairy and attempted to tackle it.

Opponent: Clefairy
Attacker: Pachirisu
Opponent's Point Value: 7
Attacker's Point Value: 5
Bonuses: Clefairy -2
Opponents's Remaining Points: 0
Attacker's Remaining Points: 0

The Pachirisu's small size meant that it's tackle attempt failed. The Clefairy simply shoved it off. But the Pokemon followed up by jumping on the Clefairy's stomach and biting at it repeatedly. The Clefairy dropped to the ground in pain as the 2 rolled around on the ground for a few seconds. Eventually both Pokemon passed out from exhaustion.

Knuckles called the Pachirisu back to it's Pokeball without praise. He then turned to Destroyer and ordered him to hit the Shellder. The Chimchar happily obeyed and charged at the Shellder, throwing flames at it and trying to scratch at it's eyes.

Opponent: Shellder
Attacker: Destroyer the Chimchar
Opponent's Point Value: 7
Attacker's Point Value: 5
Bonuses: N/A
Opponents's Remaining Points: 3
Attacker's Remaining Points: 0

The Shellder snapped it's shell closed on Destroyer, trapping his arm in it. The Chimchar screeched in anger and pain and pounded on the shell over and over trying to get it to let go. The Shellder did eventually let go, only to launch a water gun attack on Destroyer seconds later, knocking him out for good.

Knuckles grunted as he called the Chimchar back. He was disappointed in both Pokemon for performing so pourly, he was more disappointed in Destroyer since he was the more experienced Pokemon. He decided not to hold it against the Pokemon though since it was a disadvantage.

Knuckles said to the little twin girls "Your lucky your big sister helped you, because if she hadn't I woulda crushed your Pokemon like the whimps they are!" He then turned his attention to the older girl saying annoyed "If your expecting a good job forget it... You may have won sister of the year award, but this victory doesn't count cause it wasn't a fair fight!"

And with that Knuckles stormed back to the Pokemon Center to heal his Pokemon. He handed his Pokemon to Nurse Joy again, who recognized him from 10 minutes ago and gave him a worried look at how fast he was back with injured Pokemon. Never the less, she healed the Pokemon again and handed them back to him.

Knuckles then went back outside and watched as some girl, soaked to the bone battled some artist. He crossed his arms as he watched the end of the battle.

As Nurse Joy scolded him about his treatment of his Pokemon, he heard other nurses talking about using fake ids and about how the authorities were notified. He knew he had to find Oberon and alert him of this right away.

He quickly hooked the pokeballs to his belt and said to Nurse Joy "Sorry Nurse Joy, won't happen again. Have a nice day!" Then Knuckles ran out of the Pokemon Center at full speed and searched for Oberon.

He found him standing next to a girl who was soaked to the bone. He ran over to Oberon and still out of breath from running he said to him "Oberon we have.... a situation! They know.... about the... ids and the.... Popo are on the way! I think we should go!"

Oberon told him to gather the new 'troops' up and head to Route 205 and wait for him there. Right as he was about to begin gathering up the new trainers, a girl, soaking wet to the bone, went up to him and tossed him a Pokeball saying "Here, take this. It's bulky, like you.." Knuckles looked at the girl surprised, but took the Pokeball and clipped it to his belt anyway. He wasn't about to complain, he got a free Pokemon and he didn't have to steal it!

As the girl walked around throwing Pokeballs at more of the new trainers, Knuckles walked around and gathered each of the new trainers up one by one. Once all the trainers were gathered up, Knuckles spoke to them as a group "Alright listen up... Oberon has instructed me to take you whimps to Route 205 so that's what I am going to do. Now here is how this is gonna go, your going to follow behind me, your going to do what I say without question. You do that and we will have no problems. Also, this should go without saying, but I am not as kind as Oberon, so you don't want to piss me off, everyone understand?"

After that, he turned to Intimidator, who still stood by his side and said to him quietly so only the Machop could hear "Watch that one, if he tries to sneak off you let me know." While he said this, he pointed to the kid who had tried to sneak away back at the flower fields. The Machop nodded and then Knuckles motioned for the group to follow him.

He then began walking east with the group, keeping an eye on the trainers and surrounding area as he did so. He had to make sure everyone was staying together and that they were not being followed.

Once they reached 205, the smell of honey drifted through the air. It made Knuckles a little hungry, but he had to stay focused, he couldn't afford to blow this operation. Once they were past the 'route 205' sign he turned and said to the group "Alright this is it... we are to hold position here until Oberon arrives." As he said this, he noticed that there were 2 suspicious looking men blocking the route to the windworks. The men would pretend to work when another trainer walked by.

Knuckles suspected the men could be cops, so he decided to keep a close eye on them while he also monitored the group and waited for Oberon to arrive.
