Arpers: Spinelwolf, TheOperator

Kyle and Gaia followed behind Spinel and Rayner up to the North Gate. Spinel found some numbers. Kyle had requested the readable numbers.

They were: 8-2-4 3-7.
Kyle thought for a moment.
Kyle stated, "No clue..."

Gaia stood wondering why numbers on thin wood seemed to matter to the humans.
She shrugged it off and looked around the general area.

Kyle reached into his pocket. He pulled out the jerky. "Well I guess a snack couldn't hurt though."
He opened it and set aside about a third of the package and handed it off.
He gave that third discretely to his somewhat distracted Rampardos.

Gaia took up on that offer and devoured the jerky. He smiled slightly and let it fade before he turned back around.

Kyle, "Finish up and lets start searching for bikes."

Kelly sneered, counting the number of people she had to deal with. It was as if they had all come out of the wood work to help the poor little girl out. Her other two goons behind her looked ready with the Electabuzz and Grumpig, while her Dusclops and Arbok stood in front of her. A fight was a fight and there was no way about it. If she had to kill someone then sure, it was the way these days. She saw Mancer’s head snap right and glare into the sky, and she followed his gaze. Soon enough a succession of Aura Sphere’s was heading not her way, but aimed at the Electabuzz of her other employee. Her employee noticed eventually as he pointed it out to his Pokémon.

“Rev use Thunder Punch!”

The yellow and black being complied by grunting, and hitting his fists together, creating a blaring electric charge that enveloped his knuckles. He swung a fist at one Aura Sphere, forcing the energy to disperse as it was pushed back just a little every time. The Grumpig saw the newly arriving Scizor and thought that just wouldn’t do. Before the bug or his trainer had a chance to respond, he enveloped him with a Psychic attack, sending him flying back with a flick of a finger. The Scizor was sent back onto his side of the field with everyone else with a crash. That Grumpig liked bugs at a distance, not up close for socialization. Unfortunately Grumpig was so preoccupied getting the bug out of the way that he didn’t see the Shadow Ball coming, and was hit square in the stomach, coming down to one knee for only a moment.

“Tarot, come on!”

“Pfft… amateurs.” Kelly scoffed, turning back at her pair while her Arbok held the Nidorino in place and her Dusclops. The Dusclops saw what had happened previously, and unlike the Grumpig, didn’t need a command to know what Kelly wanted him to do. His hand formed into a fist, purple wispy energy surrounding it as he thrust it forward at the Shadow Ball, sending it back towards Killer. His gaze was as vacant as a Dusclop’s could be, but he had that feeling of ‘you’ll have to do better than that’.

Meanwhile, the girl who was the target for this whole situation, was standing behind the group, unsure of what to do or how to help. This was her fault and she needed to do something about it. She did have other Pokémon on her, but none were quite capable of dealing with the Wake’s Pokémon.

That was unless she used…

“Hey! Stop this now! Just let us go our separate ways and then no one has to end up seriously hurt, or worse.”

Kelly stopped to laugh. “Oh no you started this, and people had to get into business that wasn’t theirs. Someone is getting hurt. We could always use your Nidorino as a volunteer?”

“D-don’t…” She started, before picking up her voice again. “Don’t make me use Lillian.”

“Lillian? Is that a threat?” Kelly looked at Mancer, who seemed amused while the Nidorino was struggling less and less. “Mancer, toss him. He’s not going to last much longer.”

The Arbok complied by twisting his body around and throwing the Nidorino as hard as he could towards it’s trainer, who caught him but not before being sent to the ground. The pinkish purple rhino rabbit was still alive, but was very worn out from being wrapped up by a homicidal serpent.

“Poison Sting again.”

Rather than a single needle this time, Mancer opened up a spray of deadly toxic needles not at the Pokémon, but the trainers instead.

The man rubbed the back of his head in thought. “Rustboro… hmm… I might be able to if I can call a boat from someone I know. I know I can get you as far as Dewford with what I have, but I’ll see if I can get you someone if I can’t, to get to Rustboro. Sounds fair enough for a deal to me.”

The boy pulled out a Net Ball, and opened it up in his hand. Out of it came a large blue and grey creature with a sturdy shell on her backside. She moved her head left and right, before looking at her trainer, and the other two newcomers. She looked at her trainer again. The guy laughed a bit at the mention of what his name was, knowing that might have been a nice fact to know.

“Eh sorry, manners slipped my mind again. My name’s Harrison, and you already met Mow-D. This is Tania.” Harrison gestured to his Lapras. “She’ll be able to carry you to where we’re going and keep you completely dry to boot. Ocean’s gotten colder and all the more unhappy lately, so she’s probably the safest ride you’ll have on the ocean side.”

Tania nodded and confirmed Harrison’s comments.

“Well if you’re all ready, just hop on and we can get on our way.”

One of the locals who was eating soup spoke up, having an Electrike munching on some food just under his spot at a table. Even a few of the other workers stop mumbling their daily conversations to chip in.

“Well the generator is having some issues, but we’ve been able to keep it stable.”

“Output isn’t one hundred percent though. We need someone to get those parts so it can stay that way. Temporary repairs will only last so long.” Another replied to the first.

“Yeah I know, but getting to New Mauville these days is even more dangerous than before. I think we’re better off trading one of the other northern communities for one. Hell we could make it ourselves if we had someone who knew how and the scrap for it.”

“Either someone is daring and experienced enough, who won’t die, goes to New Mauville, or we try to get in contact with some other city and maybe barter. Neither of those sounds solid if you ask me.”

“Nothing is really solid or concrete anymore.”

Capture Session: TNT

Percival senses something is amiss, before jumping out of the way of an electrical blast sent right for him. He doesn’t see what it is immediately, but a circular form of three metal orbs, all with magnets and eyes catch his attention.

• Thunder
• Double Edge
• Double Team
• Lock-On

TNT, please PM me your next post about capturing the Magneton, and await approval. After approval, you may post the same capture post here with the remaining information. Ability and nature will be provided after approval in a PM.

Jackson
Rustburo City
ARPer's: Sabi(NPC)

As Jackson was about to tell Kronos to attack, he saw a flurry of Poison Stings. But before he got hit, Kronos got in front of him and absorbed the attack. It didn't even poison him since he's part steel type. "OK, you just crossed the line! Kronos! Aerial Ace!" Jackson yelled. Kronos jumped up in the air and shot towards the Arbok. But instead of one Aerial Ace, he did it over and over again.

Jackson punched his fist into the air saying, "Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout Kronos! Now Bullet Punch!" All of a sudden Kronos disappeared than reappeared behind the Arbok then started to punch it in a flurry of punches. "Now use a Metallic Aerial Ace!" Kronos made his claws like metal then continued using Aerial Ace until the Arbok fell over. "Kronos. That's good. Come over here." Kronos jumped over to Jackson and Jackson got on his back. Kronos then jumped over to Route 116. "Sci. Scizor."

"I know. We should've stayed to help. But it was just getting to dangerous. Lets go." Jackson got off of Kronos' back and started walking. "I mean, I would've liked to help, but it was getting to dangerous. They launched Poison Stings at me. Now lets get going." They walked over to the tall grass. Jackson was hoping to find a new team member. Hopefully they would.

This post is invalid for the following reasons:

1: Scizor was thrown back by a Psychic attack from Grumpig. This was seemingly, completely ignored.
2. Bombarding an NPC's Pokemon in a battle or ANY character, without giving a chance to properly respond and claiming they hit is Godmodding and against the rules.
3. Claiming an NPC Pokemon fainted in battle without permission. This is also Godmodding and against the rules. As I play all the NPC charcters, they all belong to me.
4. Ignoring the other three hostile Pokemon currently in battle, along with a lot of the other things going on in the situation.

NuzlockeLover, you need to be more aware of what is going on, and what characters are speaking to yours and the situation around your character. I've gotten complaints of you ignoring interactions with your characters that are rather relevant to what is going on. You also need to not Godmod, as said in the first post, I am playing all the NPC's, and the results of battle are all determined by me as a GM. As such I have to give you a formal strike, as this is story breaking and not something I can consequence properly within the RP itself. The guarding from Poison Sting was clever, but the rest is rather unrealistic and breaking of an important rule. Two more and I will have to remove you from the RP. Please remember the rules when you write your posts.

RP may proceed as normal.

ARPers: N/A

Magneton
Thunder
Double Edge
Double Team
Lock On

<"Oh! Oh oh! I found something!"> Percival went. Jin turned his head, and saw...Three metal orbs, floating in midair, connected, with two magnets for each one. He recognized it from where his dad used to work with: A Magneton. He had heard from the locals that the local Pokemon were primarily Spinda, with a few Slugma and the rare Skarmory to round out the food chain. Jin didn't properly expect the Magnet Pokemon, but it was a reliable-and powerful-addition to his team of one, and considering that it WAS a team of one, really, Jin would have taken a Sunkern. Magneton was pretty awesome, all things considered.

"Take a good look, Percival, because I think we've found a new teammate! Use Drain Punch!" Jin thought. Percival was a mind reader and didn't need Jin speaking for his orders. Percival's fist glowed a nice, deep green, as Percival came in for a hard strike on the Magneton. The Magneton tried floating up higher than Percival, but Percival jumped up to hit Magneton in midair, sending the latter down to the ground, with a nice 'thud.' Jin smirked. He was off to a good start.

The Magnet Pokemon was not amused by that. Picking itself off the ground, the Magnet decided that it disliked it's previous bout with the Gallade's fist, and started to use his most infuriating move to deal with. He started speeding up, flying back and forth in a dizzying manner, leaving illusionary clones behind as he picked up speed, until finally, he stopped as two more of it joined the fray.

<"What the-how did it-what's going on?!"> Percival said.

"Clearly you haven't seen a Double Team." Jin thought back, as he started to scoop up some of the ash in his hands. "I'm not good at describing it, but basically, there's still only one Magneton-the other two aren't even there. We have to find out which one...And I think I know how. Lure the Magneton in closer to me, if you can." Jin added, continuing to add ash to his palms. He had a plan.

<"A bit risky, sir, but Roger!"> Percival said. He disliked the idea of the dangerous, animate, floating magnets getting anywhere near his new master, but he'd rather not flail blindly at it. Still not entirely sure what a Double Team was, other than that there was still only one of those pesky magnets, he Teleported back, behind Jin and a good distance from the Magneton. Jin had scooped up all the requisite ash for his simple plan, and was ready to dogde whatever the Magneton threw at him or Percival.

As predicted, the 'three' Magneton closed in on the Gallade, towards its effective range and passing the human, ignoring it as a threat. It was a human, what would it do that could actually harm a Steel-Type again? No, the Gallade was the main issue, with that nasty Drain Punch of his. It had missed him once with its powerful electricity-it wouldn't let it happen twice. Its eyes turned red-all three of them-as a red ring was launched at the Gallade. Its target tried swerving to the left, but that endeavor failed. It didn't harm him, but what it would do next WOULD harm him.

Jin took the opportunity of the Magneton's proximity to throw the Ash he obtained at all three Magneton at once. The ash singed the real Magneton's eyes, like a Sand Attack, as the other two clones dissipated. Jin wasn't aware of what Magneton EXACTLY did, but now wasn't the time for pondering on that. "Drain Punch!" Jin ordered.

<"On it!"> Percival responded. Percival wasn't exactly aware of what the Magneton did either, but it didn't stop him from using Drain Punch again. He approached fast, and slammed his fist into the magnet Pokemon hard, sending him back some. So far, so good. It looked pretty hurt at this point. <"It looks like it might be ready for capture, sir!"> Percival added.

The Magneton was not happy about his opponent's little trick-the Human WAS a threat, though not offensively. Ignoring the pain, it chose to back off farther than the Drain Punch pushed him-Thunder's Typical effective range was a non-issue this time. He charged himself thoroughly with electric energy, the currents going beyond the measely Thunderbolt, and launched a massive stream of electricity towards his target-still the Gallade, of course, as he was doing all the damage. The Gallade, seeing what he was doing, had ran behind a tree during the charge-up, but that was made totally irrelevant with the use of Lock-On. The Magneton was fit to laugh as the Thunder, initially going straight for the tree, instead decided to defy physics and logic, take a sharp arc around the tree, and slam into the Gallade with immense force. It was not a hit to be taken lightly.

Jin's jaw went agape at the sight of the arcing thunderbolt. From his view, he could see the red target illuminate as the shot was fired-whatever it was, it made the attack home in on the target. Gallade was not in the best of shapes after that-it wasn't critical, nor did it paralyze him from the looks, but it was a very powerful attack nevertheless...Percival stood up fairly quickly, but Jin firmly decided that this would be it for today. Not with those kinds of injuries would he go any further, lest he risk his life. He'd just go back to the Pokemon Center and heal up Percival, and presumably his new Magneton. Unless, of course...

No, no no, don't think about what happened to Lester. Jin just chucked the PokeBall at the Magneton without any further thought on the subject. His aim was true, and the Magneton didn't notice-still focusing on the one that could actually injure it. The Magnet Pokemon was sucked up in red light into the orb, which fell to the ground and started to roll, back and forth...Back and forth...Back and-

Nope. The Magneton came back out of the sphere, breaking it, and it didn't look particularly pleased at Jin. It may have not been aware of what had hit it, but it was definitely aware that Jin posed a credible (if vague) threat at this point. The Magneton, frustrated, charged forward at Jin with alarming speed and a golden trail of energy behind it. Jin ducked at just the right time, having the three hovering magnets sail over his head. The Magneton itself narrowly avoided ramming into a tree.

Percival did not need orders to know what Jin wanted, nor would he have been inactive enough to wait for them, though Jin turning his head and nodding at Percival when he saw what he was doing was a plus. The Gallade's arms, including his elbows, were now a very bright blue, and wasting no further time on the charge-up, launched several blades of Psychic energy at the Magneton. It turned around JUST in time to see the attack, but definitely not in time to get out of the way. It was weak in comparison to the Drain Punches, but the Magneton was really starting to show it's exhaustion: The three magnets were having a hard time keeping off the ground.

Jin readied another PokeBall, but the Magneton was now furious beyond belief. Thinking that winning this fight was now out of the question, it decided that-why not-he ought to go out swinging as hard as he could. It charged at Jin, full speed ahead, with a golden trail behind it, just as Jin released the PokeBall from his hand.

The PokeBall was a foot away from Jin before the Magneton-a half-second ago, three yards away-was sucked into it. That was close.

...Back and forth...Back and forth...Back and forth...Back and forth...Back and forth...Jin was sweating a little, backing up from the PokeBall. If he was thickheaded enough to stay that close to the PokeBall, and if the Magneton broke out, the retaliation the thing would bring would be almost impossible to avoid, and probably lethal. Even then, Jin was worrying how quickly it could attack...Back and forth...Back and forth...

...Back and forth...Ping!

Jin breathed a sigh of relief. That Magneton put up a good fight, though that meant that it was a good Pokemon. Jin smirked as he picked up the new home of the three magnetic orbs.

<"I almost had a heart attack when it charged you again."> Percival said, simply. <"Shall we press on?"> he added. Percival was clutching the spot where the Thunder had landed, and definitely looked in pain, but was standing and moving.

"Negative. We're going back to Fallarbor town, I'm not going to risk any more run-ins." Jin replied. He started walking west, back to town. He'd rather have to walk back here than lose Percival. Not to mention, either way, he'd have to make a run back to Fallarbor Town, with his new and severely weakened Magneton the only reason he lives-IF he lives, anyways.

Percival agreed with his logic completely, moving behind his master, still keeping at the ready, in case anything else happened. He kept his eyes-the ones on his face and the one in his head-out for any more signs of life.

(OOC: I know I bounced back between perspectives a lot. I've read too many ASBL rounds, I guess.)

Marleena Aller
Fallarbor Town

Listening to the discussion of the other men while eating. I knew most of them, the electrical workers were pretty much the heads of the community, without any of them the generator obviously wouldn't work and we'd be far worse off. They mentioned needing parts that would be in New Mauville. I wasn't familiar with a New Mauville, but I knew there was a plain Mauville City a little to the southeast of here. I finished my food, remarking, "I don't see how that's all too hard. I can take Proteus with me and we can wipe away anything that gets in our way between here and Mauville. All the fire types near Mt. Chimney and I might be able to make it through Mauville from the north. There's gotta be a way through there, then I can ask about the parts we need." I stand up. "We've been fighting hard to keep everyone here safe, we can't give up now no matter what."

I turned to Proteus. "What do you think? A little trip to see something outside of Mauville might be nice." He grinned and stood on his hind legs, signaling his agreeing with me. I smiled, "Sounds like a plan then. We can ask about New Mauville when we get to Mauville. I'm sure we can find The Boss and ask if we can make the pickup. Shouldn't be too much more difficult after that." I started walking out, leaving some money on the table with the empty bowls. I had this feeling as I walked back into the hot sun and the fresh air washed over me as the sliding doors wooshed shut, that this was going to be the start of something much bigger than myself.

Slateport North Gate > Route 110
Affected RPers: Dragotech, The Operator

After searching around for anything else and coming up empty handed Spinel let out a heavy sigh. She turned to the boys to see them continuing to try to find anything useful. She gave a quit pat on the head to her Typhlosion before he went on ahead to the door as his trainer addressed the others.

"I'm taking point. With Rayner's superior hearing he could pick up on anything trying to hide. I'm going to wait for a bit before moving on," she said before turning to follow her fire-type.

Outside she didn't see much. Wild Pokémon were a rare sight nowadays, but not completely uncommon. By how Rayner's ears were twitching there was probably one or two wild Pokémon in the area. Perhaps they'd be lucky enough to see them, or even get a chance to add one to the team. Spin wasn't holding her breath on it, but for a little while now she's been wanting to add another member to the team.

"So far I don't sense any threats," the Typhlosion spoke. "It should be safe for us to keep moving on to the next city."

"Sounds good. There's no rush at the moment, so might as well take our time and enjoy the peace while it lasts," the young woman replied, the pair then taking an easy pace under the cycling road. Can't take the fast way since they didn't find any bikes after all.

Kyle
under Cycling Road
Arpers: Spinelwolf, TheOperator

Kyle kept a keen eye on all the grass. He wondered if a Pokémon would show itself. He had that feeling that they were being watched.

Gaia looked from side to side nervously. She was sure they weren't alone.

Kyle was less annoyed about the lack of bikes to be rode, and he would have preferred to take the high ground, but he preferred safety in numbers than going it alone.

Kyle rested a hand on his nervous Rampardos.

This helped calm the nervous rock type down. She cocked her head to the side with a slight grin.

Kyle turned and continued to follow the group. He was hoping there was not some ambush set up around here they did sacrifice the high ground after all.

Kyle took a moment to examine the water. He was not about to let his guard down, but took a moment to try and enjoy himself.

Gaia on the other hand did not like the water. She decided to let it know of her displeasure.

He let off a subtle chuckle as she scratched at its surface. Her recoil at getting her hands wet was even more amusing.

The dinosaur admitted defeat and kept moving. Kyle, "I take it you don't want to go for a swim then?"

Gaia cocked her head and displayed a look of general annoyance.

He chuckled.

Perry Sterling
Rustboro City, the Streets of Rustboro
Affected RPers: Grassy_Aggron, Velocity, NuzlockeLover, Sieses, and NPCs

Waking up this morning, Perry never would have guessed that he would become embroiled in a brawl of Pokémon. But then again, he never had any idea what would follow the post-apocalyptic sunrise. Still, a loose coalition of Pokémon and trainers fighting a sinister gang that was tormenting a young girl, it was like something out of Mad Max. But this wasn't a movie, this was real. And these trainers and Pokémon weren't actors, they were in serious danger. Perry winced as Aura Sphere met Thunderpunch and energy flew all-around. He stayed back with Chloe, waiting for Alex's signal. She knew what she was doing, or at least, she had a better idea than he did, Perry reasoned. No, the best thing for him and his Pokémon to do was to stay out of the way and wait for the signal.

The signal was all that mattered, the fight could go either way, but with a Discharge prepared, they could make a hasty escape. Or at least, Alex and Killer could. Perry struggled to remember, but he couldn't recall telling the others about his Pachirisu's Discharge attack, meaning that they would be just as blind when the time came. Perry was about to warn the others when he bit back the cry. Warning the others could mean that their opponents would be equally prepared for the attack, and then it would only be in naught.

Perry's weighing of options was cut short though when another burst of purple needles erupted from the cobra Pokémon. Perry watched their trajectory briefly and realized that this was no longer a Pokémon Battle, trainers were fair game too. "Chloe, Light Screen! Everybody else, get down!" Perry yelled with more authority than he ever felt before in his life as Chloe leaped off of her perch on his shoulder and summoned a honeycomb patterned wall of yellow energy. Admittedly, Reflect usually would have been preferable to Light Screen for a Poison Sting attack, and the size of the screen, encompassing the entire main group of trainers, would have weakened it considerably. However, Light Screen was far better at weakening ranged attacks such as this variation of Poison Sting and the number of needles should have lowered the individual strength of each one. A few would get through the wall of golden light, sure, but hopefully the trainers would dodge the worst of the blow and passing through the screen would take a lot of the punch out of the missiles.

With a yelp of pain, Perry looked down and saw that one needle had punctured the sleeve of his orange sweatshirt and the soft flesh of his arm. Grimacing, the trainer grabbed the purple projectile and pulled it out of his arm, tossing it aside before sinking to his feet. His Pachirisu quickly approached him and began trying to roll up his sweatshirt in order to examine the wound, but Perry pushed her away. "No, Chloe," he said firmly, "The signal, you have to pay attention to the signal."

[Grassy_Aggron]

Grassy_Aggron
Enja Niir/Jade
Rustburo City
ARPer’s: Saraibre Ryu, Velocity, NuzlockeLover, Sieses, basically anyone at the battle

Well, it seemed her plan had been a success, somewhat. Down comes Araceli and her Togekiss, raining a frenzy of Aura Spheres on the Electabuzz. Its name was apparently Rev, and it used a volley of Thunder Punches to block the incoming attacks, either disrupting them or knocking them off course harmlessly. However, each strike pushed him further back towards their bush, every inch closing the gap rapidly. Closer and closer they drew, all completely unaware of the waiting ambush. When at least Rev came into close enough range, the trap was sprung.

Jade's green body was cloaked in an earthy, sparkling grey, radiation from her horned skull. Without hesitation she leapt forth as they were distracted by a Scizor and Houndoom, charging at her close opponent's back with her Head Smash. Enja came out of the bushes as well, holding her trusty wrench at her side but not up in a fighting position. She didn't want to hurt anyone, but she knew that Arbok would attack humans without any hesitation, and she figured she might be able to block with the wrench.

...Probably not, but it was worth a try. Jade was not to kill the Electabuzz but to severely cripple it, as death was unneeded and a waste. "Hey," she called out to Kelly, the leader, waving in an excited jubilee that only she could manage, "come on now, is like, three stolen supplies by a kid really worth all of this effort and pain? I can look after her and make sure she doesn't steal from you again, if you want. Life is precious, and I don't want to see anyone die today." She glanced at the Electabuzz's trainer. "That includes you and...Rev, I think I heard you call him. He doesn't deserve to die for such a silly little problem, and neither does you."


(Meh post is meh. YAY LECTURES. All the feelz.)

[Saraibre Ryu]

NPC: Kelly
Rustboro:
ARPer’s: Battle Folks

Kelly wasn’t entirely impressed that the Poison Sting attack was deflected by a Light Screen attack, though a yelp of pain removed that feeling if mild disappointment. Mancer also seemed pleased as well. The three of them were ready to launch another consecutive attack when from behind her, one of her goons screamed as the Electabuzz under their ownership was sent flying in the opposite direction by a green Aggron. Rev crashed into a nearby tree after being launched, and came to the ground with a hard thud. His trainer felt a wash of fatigue and pain overcome the left side of his neck, indicating where his Blackout infection was worse.

“The HELL was that?!”

Now there was a girl with a wrench on one side of them. There were multiple trainers to their front. Kelly mentally count to herself silently, and now with the Electabuzz nearly out of commission, things weren’t looking good. Yes, she wanted to beat up the other kid, but she wasn’t stupid. At this rate, it wasn’t becoming worth the effort. As much as the one with the wrench was right, and Kelly didn’t want to admit it, she was going to have to back off. The owner of Rev seemed terrified by her words, while the owner of the Grumpig seemed slightly shocked at Enja’s Aggron.

“Kelly…”

Kelly noticed the green Aggron as well. “Yeah… green Aggron…”

She was quiet for only a second. Rev was recovered by his trainer, being held upright by having one of the yellow and black Pokémon’s arms over his shoulder. “We should get out before we lose Rev… or the Aggron… that Aggron will-”

“Don’t tell me what to do Mark.” Kelly snapped at him, turning to the rest of the opposition. “Don’t you think this is over kid.”

“Rev, use Teleport.”

“This is personal.”

The antagonists took a few steps back, and within seconds the lot of them were gone. The commotion came as quickly as it went, leaving nothing but the girl and her Nidorino as the only remaining strangers. The girl without a name relaxed a bit, too much in fact. She fell backwards on her rear end, remembering her Nidorino, Grind, was worn and weary from being tossed around like a rag doll. She inspected him, seeing that most of the damage was caused by the Wrap attack from earlier. All the pink rhino rabbit wanted to do right now was lay on the ground, though kept his eyes open long enough for the girl to check her infection, which was present along her wrist.

“It didn’t get worse… okay…” She sighed, standing up to look at the others. “Thank you, very much. I owe you a lot for what you did and…”

She stopped, seeing that one of them, Perry, was looking a bit out of it. She then noticed his arm had a small tear in it, and there was a single, misplaced Poison Stinger not far off from his spot on the ground. Immediately the girl began to freak out, rummaging around her bag for something.

“Oh dear, that’s all my fault… you’ll get ill if that’s not dealt with and – here it is!”

The girl pulled out a pink bandage that appeared as if it was stained that colour, and felt a tad sticky on the one side. She walked over and showed it to Perry, quickly explaining what it was before he had much of a chance to reply.

“It’s one of my Pecha Bandages. It’s not really meant for curing poison since I don’t do it much… but it’ll prevent it from getting worse. I’m a poison specialist so… at least I know a place closer to here that could help with that…” She began. “I was heading to Fortree, I hear there remains most of that city since the incidents. They’re working with the Fallarbor farming settlement to get Hoenn back on track again, and then hopefully Unova and Sinnoh. Verdanturf is working on salvaging, which is where I was before those from the Wake jumped me…”

“Ni.” Grind groaned.

“Oh, yes. Right. Sorry I’m terrible.” She stood up straight and dusted herself off. “I’m Hadley, and this is Grind. I used to be from Kanto but I moved before Blackout happened. I don’t mean to pry, but do you have any plans s of lately? If you don’t have any place to stay, a lot are heading to Fortree and scavenging what they can along the way. It’s safer up there than it is down around these parts of Hoenn nowadays… I was escorting medical supplies around and yeah… I’m sorry I’m all over the place.”

New Objectives:
Head to Fortree City Settlement [Long Term]
Head to the Salvage and Scavenging point in Verdanturf [Short Term]

OOC: Yeah it sucked but I figure we should move on.
