Battle 1: Group A vs. Ariados(x18)
zombachu paralyzed half of the Ariados with a Thunder Wave while The Tutor did the same to the other half. Typhlo and Larry fired one Ember after another, but they kept on coming. On the enemy's side, the Ariados tried firing String Shots, but the Embers just incinerated it. The Ariados were smart, as switched to HP.
"Watch out for those Hidden Powers!" zombachu shouted, "They're ground type!"
Hidden Powers went everywhere, but only a couple hit the 4. Once, Larry got a solid hit with one Ember and fainted 3 Ariados, but in doing so, he exhausted himself and got hit with a HP Ground.
Ariados X5: 0% Health
Ariados X13: 85+% Health (Paralyzed)
zombachu: 92% Health
Larry: 79% Health
Typhlo: 91% Health
The Tutor: 89% Health
The Tutor plowed through Ariados with Fire Punches, while Larry laid slightly injured.
"Thanks." said Larry.
The Tutor turned. "Welcome."
Seeing a hesitation between attacks, the enemy tried to land a STAB Bug Bite, but zombachu zapped them with a quick ThunderShock. One Ariados managed to dodge the attack and got lucky with a Poison Sting and poisoned The Tutor. He fell to his knees and the lone Ariados crawled on his back, about to finish him off with a HP Ground to the back, but out of the corner of his eye, Typhlo saw this and rushed over. Seeing their prey flee, the Ariados that was attacking Typhlo followed him and attempted to bite him on the back, but Typhlo's flames crackled and grew, consuming the Ariados. Typhlo shot a powerful Flamethrower at the Ariados on The Tutor's back with such precision that The Tutor barely felt the heat. Typhlo picked a Pecha berry from a nearby plant and fed it to The Tutor. He was instantly healed and he stood up.
"Thanks."
"Welcome!" Typhlo said.
He licked The Tutor, then they both helped up Larry.
"We should go check on zombachu!" Larry said, "I haven't seen him in a while!"
The 3 searched for zombachu and they found him fending off the last 4 Ariados.
Ariados X14: 0% Health
Ariados X4: 80+% Health (Paralyzed)
zombachu: 86% Health
Larry: 75% Health
Typhlo: 89% Health
The Tutor: 80% Health
They started to rush over to help him, but zombachu's eyes widened.
"Don't come!" he yelled.
The three examined the ground more carefully and saw that there was Toxic Spikes layered all over the ground, surrounding zombachu. He fired off a ThunderShock at one, but it dodged it with ease.
"Faster than lightning…" he muttered, "Ooh! I know!"
He took out a bouncy ball out of his pocket, and at the sight of it, the Ariados started to clatter, which was probably laughter. He fired the ball at one of them, which was still laughing and it bounced off of its head, making it flinched. It ricocheted and hit the next one, and so on. When they all flinched, he fired a single Thunderbolt, fainting all of them. He used Quick Attack to escape the Toxic Spikes trap and he made his way to the other three.
Ariados X18: 0% Health
zombachu: 85% Health
Larry: 75% Health
Typhlo: 89% Health
The Tutor: 80% Health
End Battle
"That was close!" he said, "Let's heal up a bit." He took out 3 Sitrus berries and he gave it to each of them.
"What about you?" asked Typhlo.
"Just wait." answered Larry. Sure enough, zombachu took out his cheese box and took out 3 cubes of cheddar. He shoved it into his mouth.
zombachu healed 10% health! zombachu's EXP grew by 20! zombachu got 0.05% fatter!"
After Typhlo and The Tutor finished facepalming, zombachu motioned for them to follow him deeper into the forest. Along the way, they spotted some more red eyes in the dark, but nothing jumped out at them. A Caterpie once feel out of a tree and almost knocked out Larry, but a Pidgeotto grabbed it midair and flew away. They gulped simultaneously. At one point Typhlo started to glow in a mysterious white light, but it stopped abruptly. No one said anything, but some eyebrows were raised. The group finally arrived at a bush that extended to either side of the forest and looked impenetrable.
••••••••••
After some failed attempts at just trying to walk through (there were thorns) and trying to climb it (more thorns) the group decided to try to use their moves. Ningildo tried to use Screech but he just ended up passing out again. Brutaka tried to use Quick Attack, but due to the thorns he obviously got hurt. OVERGRO and Wacky snickered when Brutaka came out with crown of thorns.
"You think you can do any better?" He pulled out a thorn and winced. OVERGRO and Wacky nodded towards each other. OVERGRO fired a single Ice Beam and haxed the bush into freezing. Wacky fired a single HP fire and due to the rapid temperature change, the bush shattered. Doritos frowned.
"I could have done that…" OVERGRO and Wacky gave each other a high five. Reven picked up Ningildo and Brutaka in his mouth.
"Ow! OWW! Hey! Watch it!" said Brutaka.
••••••••••
When Ningildo came to, he sat up and looked around. It was night, obviously, but he saw nothing but trees and a couple tents.
This must be the camp we set up, he thought. But when he examined it closely, he knew something was wrong. The shadows in the tents only counted up to 4. He listened more carefully, and they were in a conversation about the yellow gemstone. Ningildo the realized that maybe one of his teammates might be out, but none of the Pokemon were as big as Reven, or hovering like OVERGRO, so that possibility was crossed out. He decided that since they didn't attack him yet, they must be friendly, or at least civil. He walked over to their tent and unzipped the entrance. In there sat a Pikachu, a Chimchar, a Cyndaquil, and an Electabuzz.
"Hello…" he said nervously.
"Good, you're up." said the Electabuzz. "We worried we would have to take you to a Chansey."
"Who are you?" Ningildo asked.
"I'm zombachu, the Chimchar's Larry, the Cynadquil is Typhlo, and the Electabuzz is The Tutor." said the Pikachu. Typhlo licked Ningildo.
••••••••••
"
You LOST him?!
zombachu's Note:[/hr]!
zombachu's Note:[/hr]!
zombachu's Note:[/hr]!
zombachu's Note:[/hr][/i]" asked Doritos.
"Hey, it isn't my fault. You were supposed to make sure he was secure on my back!" said Reven.
"Guys, guys," said OVERGRO, "Let's stop blaming it on each other and let's start looking for him."
"Yeah. We should backtrack and go look for him." prompted Wacky.
The group broke camp and they went to search for Ningildo, with Doritos illuminating the night. When the group got to the spot where there was an imprint of Ningildo's face in the ground, they stopped.
"Where could he be?" asked Brutaka.
"Look!" Reven pointed to drag marks that indicated that Ningildo was dragged away.
Wacky gulped. "Who do you think took him?"
"I don't know, but I hope they're friendly…" Doritos led the way into the night. They arrived at the camp and saw 5 figures in the tent, one of them appeared to be Ningildo.
"Get down!" Brutaka whispered.
"Easy for you to say…" grumbled Reven, but he listened and crouched behind a fallen tree.
••••••••••
A stick broke. zombachu's ears went straight up.
"What was that?" he asked nervously.
"One of yours?" asked Ningildo, finishing up his portion of zombachu's cheese.
"No… We're all here…" said The Tutor.
"It might be my friends…" Ningildo walked out nervously and summoned Stealth Rocks just in case. With the Stealth Rock shield floating around him, he walked into the darkness. Another stick broke and Ningildo looked towards the origin of the sound.
••••••••••
"Stop moving!" whispered Wacky.
"I
hate staying still for a long time." said Shotgun.
"Guys, shush!" said Reven, "I hear someone out there." He peeked his head over the tree and his eyes widened. He jumped over the tree, with either a frightened or mad look on his face.
••••••••••
A beast came out of the darkness and jumped on Ningildo. He shot a Stealth Rock into the beast and it winced.
"Dude, it's me, Reven."
"Reven? Where are the others?" At the sound of a conversation, curious eyes peeked over a fallen tree and a bush. They widened and pretty soon Ningildo was covered by his friends who jumped over.
"Hi guys! I have some people I want to show you." Ningildo dispersed his SR shield and trekked into the darkness.
••••••••••
Larry peeked out of the tent and opened it to Ningildo and his friends.
"Hi! This is Reven, Doritos, Wacky, Brutaka, OVERGRO, and Shotgun! They're accompanying me on the quest for the yellow gemstone!" Ningildo said.
"Really? We are going to get the yellow gemstone too!" Larry said.
"Hey! I got an idea!" said Typhlo, "We should travel together, so when we get in battles, we have a better chance!"
"Great, more people I have to share my cheese with," muttered zomachu, but nobody heard him. Typhlo licked all the new members, then they left zombachu's tent to go set up their camp.
-----
Halfway through the night, zombachu heard a tree break outside. He shook Larry awake.
"Get up, get up!"
Larry's eyes slowly opened. "Huh? What do you want?" he heard a giant crash outside. "Maybe I should get up." he put on his shoes and went to check out what was going on while zombachu woke up Typhlo and The Tutor.
"Um zombachu, INCOMING!!!" he shouted. He quickly ducked and pulled The Tutor down as a Stone Edge barely missed their heads.
"Go go go!" The four rushed out to see Ningildo and his group also rush out of their tents.
On the other side of the clearing hovered a Gliscor and two Gligars with red eyes. What do you do?
