Alice jumped to the side just as a pulse of energy shot past them and reduced the long grass to smithereens. She looks around, panicky, for Aster and was glad to see that he was safe. Alice looked over her shoulder and saw a large white cat-like Pokemon with black appendages. Her PokeDex rumbled but she didn't have time to check it. Maybe if she stayed still, the Pokemon would go away. Aster was still tired from the battle with Shuppet. She looked over at Tyler, hoping that he could handle this one. It definitely looked tougher than any Pokemon she had seen in Kanto so far.

Tyler didn't hesistate. Alice was impressed by his fearlessness. Tyler's Charmander, Phyre, battled hard, using a combination of Fire and Normal type moves to bring Absol down. There was a tense moment when the Absol broke free of the ball, but then Tyler had it!

"That was a close one... That Absol is strong!" Tyler smiled.

"Wow, no kidding! You and Phyre are a great team." Alice grinned, she felt more confident in their little group now that she had seen how powerful her team mate was. She wondered what would appear next, and hoped that Davis would be ready for it. "I wonder how the other groups are going," she thought aloud.

*Not ready for capture just yet man.. Wait for the Wild Pokemon appears and the pokemon info. Until then.. Also you have one of th strongest megas. Its going to take more then a scratch attack ;)


Tyler smiled as the ball stop shaking he joked with his partners about the next capture. The ball cracked and the light shot out.


Absol came back out. Not more furious then ever. The prideful pokemon took a few steps back taking a deep breath.

it then lept in the air sending blades all around the group.

Tyler got hit in the arm tearing part of his shirt and Charmander got knocked to the ground. Absol circled the boy letting out a deep growl for the others to back off. This was a matter of pride. The creature wasnt gong to go down so easy.

*No capture yet..make it interesting ;)

Tyler felt the Pokeball snap on his belt. He paused, hearing a single deep breath behind. "Aww, crud..." Tyler muttered before he felt himself get launched through the air, Phyre next to him. Tyler's shirt was ripped, Phyre seemed hurt. He stood up, staring at the Absol. It was furious, growling and circling Tyler. "This... this isn't good." He nervously looked at Phyre, who was wrapped around one of his legs. He turned back to Absol, following it as it circled. "Nice kitty?" He stepped back a little, hoping the Absol wouldn't turn on the others. He'd made it angry so it should hopefully focus on him. He thought to his training. "Alice, Davis, you think I can take this thing on man-to-Pokemon? Just, you know, show it I'm not weak? Phyre seems...well, terrified!"

Alice couldn't believe it when Tyler's Pokeball burst open again. She had thought the Absol was captured for sure. The creature seemed mad and she and Aster only just managed to dodge out of the way when it started attacking. Unfortunately, Tyler wasn't so lucky. Alice had no way of reaching him though, the Absol was going completely ballistic.

It seemed this Pokemon was much craftier than the ones they had encountered so far, but she had no doubt that Tyler and Phyre could handle it. She looked down at Aster, who nodded back. He would protect her if the Absol's attacks misfired. In the meantime, they moved a safe distance away.

Tyler seemed to be trying to reason with it.

"Alice, Davis, you think I can take this thing on man-to-Pokemon? Just, you know, show it I'm not weak? Phyre seems...well, terrified!" he called over to them.

"You're really going to fight it yourself?!" Alice called out. The scythe on Absol's head looked dangerously sharp. "You do whatever you think is best! Maybe a show of courage will make it respect you." Alice was glad she wasn't in that situation, though she knew that type of stunt could work with some kinds of Pokemon. They needed to know the trainer was worthy before they would consent to be captured.

"We're here if you need us." Alice knew this was Tyler's battle, but she was still ready to back him up if he asked for it.

"You're really going to fight it yourself?!" Alice called out. "You do whatever you think is best! Maybe a show of courage will make it respect you." Tyler could see Alice was glad she wasn't in that situation. If he was honest, he didn't really want a furious Absol attacking him either. He paused, noticing the creature's circling hadn't really slowed. "We're here if you need us." Alice called over. Tyler nodded, thankful but not wanting to look away from the Absol. It circled again, growling deeply.

"Phyre, can you get in a Fire Spin towards it? I have an idea." Phyre nodded. Tyler stepped back, causing Absol to move closer. "Okay, now!" Phyre climbed off of Tyler's leg, shooting another Fire Spin at the Absol.

Absol stomped its feet kicking up dirt. It swung its head back and forth. It looked at Tyler taking a couple of shallows breaths. The chramander had done some damage. However it would not be able to take on Absol again.

"Solllll" It growled. It circled around a couple more times before moving in swiftly towards Tyler.

Wild Pokemon Appears (Tyler's Pokemon)

As this was going on it captured the attention of a odd guest.

"Oddish?"

Brettles watched as Meg and Rose each captured a Rattata.

He was amazed by the synchronisation between Rose and her Chingling. He knew a lot about steel types, but he had never seen a bond like this.

"Good catch both of you. Hey, now we all have a Charmander and a Rattata. Rose, your Chingling seems very close to you, you should visit the Canalave steel gym sometime. They specialise in Steel types, and I reckon they would love to see your bond, its really amazing."

"So we are taking south east section huh..looks like we gotta backtrack a bit but it should be okay." Meg said
"So Rocky, the man that drove you here..is he like a body guard?" She wondered out loud.

"Oh Giles, well technically he is just my driver. My parents like to know that I am safe, and they don't really trust public transport, so when I told them that I was coming to Kanto, they asked Giles to come with me. He has a lot of Military history, and can hold his own in a fight, but mostly he just drives me where I need to go."

"He should be waiting for me in Viridian, I asked him to take care of my Aron, 'Rusty'. I have to admit that ever since Max said there was an Aron out here, I suspect that she may have escpaed from Giles and come looking for me."

He smiled and then stopped talking as he felt a vibration through the ground.

"What is that rumbling sound?" he asked before it became apparent. They had found the herd of Tauros, and the Tauros were stampeding.

"Try not to attract their attention." he said. "Stand very still and maybe they won't see us."

A gust of wind swept through and lifted Rocky's bright red tie and waved it in the wind. The Tauros turned their attention to the bright red flapping cloth and charged.

"Uh-oh" was all he said as he ran towards a nearby tree, hoping to get into it's branches before he was run down by the Tauros.

"Let's attack agian, Charmander!" Dennis says.
"Char!!!" Charmander roars.
Dennis picks up Charmander and throws him over Persian so he can attack from behind.
"Charmander, use scratch!"

Alice had to shut her eyes when Tyler launched himself at the Absol. She was terrified that he would get ripped apart. Instead he managed to give it a solid hit. Poor Phyre looked exhausted, but the Absol only had eyes for Tyler.

"Saur! Bulba!" Aster cried suddenly. He began to paw the ground.

Alice looked over to where he was motioning. The bushes were moving slightly. In fact... they seemed to be... walking?! Suddenly a small round blue head was visible under the leafy fronds. Alice yanked her PokeDex out of her pocket. "Oddish," it recited. "During the day, it keeps its face buried in the ground. At night, it wanders around sowing its seeds." Strange, Oddish were generally nocturnal. All the disturbances must have woken it up.

Alice stored her PokeDex and wondered what to do. Tyler was busy battling. She wasn't sure if Davis wanted to try and catch the Oddish himself, so she hesitated a little. Aster couldn't wait, however. He galloped over to his fellow Grass-type and began to nudge it in a friendly gesture of hello. Alice tried to keep an eye on Tyler as she headed over to where the Oddish was located. She hoped Aster knew what he was doing.

Absol stomped its feet kicking up dirt. The Fire Spin had definitely hurt it. It swung its head back and forth, looking at Tyler and drawing a couple of shallows breaths. Phyre, as successful as the attack had been, was not looking too good. He wouldn't be fighting Absol again. "Hrm..." Tyler muttered, wondering what to do.

"Solllll," it growled. It circled around a couple more times before moving in swiftly towards Tyler.

It was acting exactly as Tyler expected; it was far too smart to fall for the same trick twice. It wasn't going to wait around and was charging directly at him. As it did, Tyler grinned and took his cue. Without thinking, he sprinted at the Absol. Before it had a chance to fully react, Tyler took a single sidestep before throwing himself towards its side, smashing into it with his full body weight. As he impacted, he felt a surge of pain ripple through his left shoulder and side but he landed on top of the cat-like hunter. He managed to pull himself to his feet, staggering back a little to look at the Absol, still in a heap on the floor.

"So, my feline friend, do you concede yet, or do we need to do this all over again..?" Tyler smiled nervously, panting heavily. This wasn't how he'd expected Day One of his journey to go.

The Absol dragged itself to its feet, staring at Tyler. It swayed a little, moving towards him again. Tyler nervously backed away a couple of steps, before stopping himself and standing his ground. It approached him still, slowly. Tyler still held his ground, even as the Absol stood within reach of attacking distance. Tyler paused, ready to fight it again if need be. However, the Absol dropped down slightly. It was showing Tyler that he had earned its respect. "Sol."

Tyler smiled. "So, this time, are you going to allow me to capture you and stay in your Pokeball?" The Absol stayed bowed, replying with another, distinct '"Sol."' Tyler nodded, pulling out a Pokeball and throwing it at the cat-like creature. It was enveloped in a red light and a few moments later, Tyler's Pokeball sparked slightly. This time, Absol had been captured. Tyler smiled, half out of happiness, half out of exhaustion. He looked around for Davis and Alice. They'd both moved out of the way; probably for safety reasons, Tyler assumed.

"Guys?" Tyler called out. "Anyone here?" He sighed, adjusting his torn t-shirt and getting out a bottle of water from his bag. "Let's hope every battle isn't that exhausting..."
