Tina's Journey to Aura Town!

[Tesshin]

Biking down the road to Aura Town, Tina checked her PokeNav (Don't have Pearl yet, so I'll have to settle for Sapphire tech...^^ for the Map of Nahra. "Wow, this is one big region," she stated, looking at the map as she made a quick right.

"Spray, when you do you think we'll meet up with some Wild Pokemon?" she asked, turning the PokeNav off after getting the info she needed. The little Squirtle looked up, then lifted its head from on top of its arms. "Squirtle!" it yowled quite loudly, looking towards a bush. Tina made a sharp stop right in front of it, wondering what could have made Spray call out. "Did you sense a wild Pokemon?" she asked her Pokemon. Spray glanced at her, then quickly nodded, eyes locked on the bush.

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Be careful with how you word that though...that was kinda PP...XD XD it's okay...you are an admin!

Bic: A small Zigzagoon came running out of the bushes. "Zagoon!" It shouted as it hit Spray with Tackle, it being a warning, not an actual hard strike. "Zig!" It yelled again, running back to the front of the bush. It was obviously protecting something....but what?!

Spray: 93%
Zigzagoon: 100%

[Tesshin]

ooc: Op! Sorry. Did you mean Squirtle sensing the Pokemon or just Squirtle? Really sorry, though, I didn't mean it! ^^;;

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: No, Squirtle sensing it. And as admin, we can PP when we are WILD pokémon, but never anytime else...it's okay though. Go ahead and post now.

[Tesshin]

Spray growled as it got up from the ground, dusting the dirt off its small shell. Tina got off her bike, letting it fall sideways with a loud CLINK! "Wow, a Zigzagoon! Spray, use Tackle!" Tina yelled. Immediately, the Squirtle threw itself head-first at the raccoon-like Pokemon. "Squirtle!!!" it yowled in a battle-cry as it hit Zigzagoon's forehead with his own.

[Tesshin]

ooc: Oh, sorry. For Squirtle sensing it I meant like seeing or smelling it as if, say, a wild Pikachu sensed a trainer coming. Like that.

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: I understand...also, try not to say that you hit the opponent in your post...it sounds like PP...other then that, you are great!

Bic: The Zigzagoon was thrown back but easily recooperated by using a full strength Tackle on Spray. "Zagoon!" It shrieked, running back to the bushes and sticking its head in there. It turned around to face Spray and Tina.

Spray: 82%
Zigzagoon: 87%

[Tesshin]

ooc: Oh, right...DAH! So many errors today! I seriously need that nap. =P After my next in-character post I'm going to go. :/ooc

Spray was sent flying a few inches back, sliding on its back to near the middle of the road as it cried out, "SQUIRTLLLLLLLE!" "Squirtle, are you ok?!" Tina gasped, looking back. Spray slowly got up, but looked weak and tired. "Squir, Squirtle Squirt!" it coughed, standing up and ready to attack. Tina grinned before looking at the Zigzagoon again. 'It must be guarding something. It doesn't want anybody near that bush.' she thought. "Alright then," Tina concluded, picking her bike up again. "Cmon, Spray. Let's go." she said, scooping the confused Squirtle in her arms. "That Zigzagoon doesn't want to be bothered." she whispered to Spray as she got onto her bike.

[Et Cetera]

The Zigzagoon panted in wonder, "Zig...Zigzagoon?!" It inquired, running back to its bush. After rummaging around, it pulled its head out. "Zig!" It shouted, holding something in its mouth. "Zagoon!" It said as it tried to catch up. It stopped at Tina and Spray's feet, dropped something on the ground, and starred back up at them.

-----Congratulations, Tina has obtained a Water Stone!-----

[Tesshin]

"What's this?" Tina said, stopping the barely-moving bike. She got off it as Spray jumped off after her, looking at Zigzagoon. "Squirtle Squirt Squirtle?" (Is this what you were guarding?) it asked, holding a hand out to gesture at the Water Stone. Tina grinned. "Wow, it's a Water Stone!" she realized, picking it up slowly and examining it. "Thank you, Zigzagoon!" she said gratefully, stroking it cautiously.

[Et Cetera]

"Zig...Zigzagoon!" (Yes, it is.) it replied. "He looked up at Tesshin with little tear-like formations in its eye. "Zig...Zag?" It asked, jumping on her leg and crawling up on top of her Treecko backpack. It clearly wanted to go with her...but, it had to be captured, of course...

[Tesshin]

Tina grinned, looking at the adorable Zigzagoon. "I'd hate to have to battle you, but I suppose it is the only way you could come with us." she said softly, petting it on the head before arising from her squating position. She slipped the Water Stone inside one of the front pockets of her bag before looking at Spray. "You still ready to fight, buddy?" she asked. The Squirtle looked determinedly at its trainer before nodding anxiously, but sternly. "Alright, then. Zigzagoon, I challenge you to a rematch!" Tina yelled, raising one arm with a balled fist. "That is, if you'll accept!" she added with a wink.

[Et Cetera]

The Zigzagoon nodded quickly, taking a good ten steps backwards. "Zagoon!" It shouted, ready to fight to his or Spray's fainting. "Zig!" It said again, putting a more determined battle face on.

Spray: 82%

Zigzagoon: 87%

[Tesshin]

"Alright, Spray, use Tackle!" Tina yelled, pointing a finger at the Zigzagoon. (Lol, I need a new attack. XD) Spray gave a battle cry before running as fast as its turtle-like body could move towards Zigzagood, smirking as the tail behind him wagged slightly with excitement. "Alright, now to confuse it! Jump off that tree behind it and send yourself back towards him!" Tina added.

Spray smirked once more before running right past Zigzagoon, slightly scraping its arm against Zigzagoon's bristly fur. Soon, Spray hopped sideways, making the pads of his feet push off the tree so he went at Zigzagoon like a rocket, ready to tackle the Pokkemon Tina wished they would catch. Zigzagoon was sweet and protective, she thought. Just the Pokemon she needed for her adventure.

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: He knows Tackle, Tail Whip, and Bubble....

Bic: The Zigzagoon zigzaged towards the torpedoeing Spray. "Zagoon!" IT shouted, hitting the Sqiirtle head on, causing significant damage as well. "Zag..." It said dillusionally, falling down on the ground, head spinning.

Zigzagoon: 71%

Spray: 73%

[Tesshin]

ooc: Oh, I thought it only knew Tackle and Tail Whip... ^^; /:coo

Spray fell on his tail, flipping over as he fell backwards on an exposed tree root. It landed on its stomach, rubbing its head as it growled in pain. Tina gasped, thinking her Squirtle might be very weak. Luckily, it wasn't. With 73% health, Spray was still ready for more fighting. "Use Bubble!" Tina yelled, pointing a finger again at Zigzagoon. Spray quickly jumped off his stomach and to the side of the Zigzagoon, spraying a few bubbles at the raccoon-like Pokemon. "After that, follow it up with a Tackle!" Tina added. "Squirtle!" Spray announced, spraying more bubbles so that they floated around Zigzagoon confusingly. Spray then jumped behind Zigzagoon, bursting a few bubbles as it revealed itself through the bubbles, ready to ram its foe.

[Et Cetera]

The Bubble attack really threw Zigzagoon for a loop---he was watching as Spray's reflection appeared on one when he should've been watching the other way. SMACK! He was Tackled from behind. "Zigzagoon!" It cried, landing on the ground again. The Zigzagoon charged towards Spray again, using another Tackle.

Zigzagoon: 50% -Speed

Spray: 66%

[Tesshin]

Squirtle tried flipping backwards to avoid the Tackle, but got hit anyway. He skidded back a bit but was still ready to go. "Spray, hang in there! Use another Bubble, and try avoiding its attacks!" Tina yelled, raising a fist. The determined Squirtle gave a quick nod before jumping up towards Zigzagoon and tried spraying a few medium-sized bubbles at its target.

[Et Cetera]

The Zigzagoon fell back, confused, and charged at Spray for another Tackle, regardless. "Zig!" It shouted, tongue half hanging out. "Zagoon!" It tackled Spray, doing little damage to it.

Zigzagoon: 42% -Speed

Spray: 59%

[Tesshin]

Squirtle flipped backwards; its forehead burned red from the impact. Tears formed in his eyes as the attack had caused a lot of pain to the little turtle Pokemon. "Spray, don't worry! It's ok! You're doing great!" she yelled, "Use another Bubble, then do what you just did, only dodge if Zigzagoon hits back!" she added.

The Squirtle did as it was told. It sprayed dozens of bubbles at Zigzagoon, then swept around, ready to ram it again. Only this time, as Tina had wished, if the Zigzagoon /were/ to hit Spray again, it would bump its head onto a tree Spray was directly in front of. If her calculations were correct, the confusing bubbles would make Zigzagoon restless, and try to tackle Spray again. Tina hoped this worked!

[Et Cetera]

Zigzagoon bolted through the bubbles, avoiding the reflections and eventually finding the real Spray. "Zagoon!" It shouted, ending up using Tackle on a nearby tree, right as they had planned. "Zagoon!" It cried, rubbing its head, causing pretty good damage. "Zag!" It got to its feet, ready for another attack.

Zigzagoon: 29% -Speed

Spray: 59%

[Tesshin]

"Good job! Now finish it off with a real Tackle!" Tina yelled, pointing her right index finger at Zigzagoon. Spray quickly huffed as it jumped towards Zigzagoon, letting the sun shine behind him for a while while he blocked the rays from hitting Zigzagoon. After a battle cry, he descended, ready to ram the Zigzagoon as he panted. No doubt the turtle Pokemon worked hard and was now tired.

[Et Cetera]

The Zigzagoon took the blow right on its neck, immediately sending it falling back in pain. "Zagoon!" It landed, having suffered from a Critical Hit, it couldn't move easily. It tried to leap to its feet, but wasn't so greatful, and carried on with a Tackle attack. "Goon!" IT said, making contact with the small turtle-like Pokémon.

Zigzagoon: 11% -Catchable

Spray: 48%

[Tesshin]

"Alright, Pokeball, go!" Tina shouted, throwing a Pokeball at Zigzagoon until it gently bumped it on the head and levitated as the Zigzagoon was forced into it in a red beam. Now all they had to do was wait for the Pokeball's circular center mark to stop glowing and for the Pokeball to stop shaking.

"Cmon, cmon.." Tina whispered as Spray collapsed, falling asleep on the spot. She looked at him and smiled a bit. She then picked him up, cradling the little Pokemon in her arms as she waited for Zigzagoon to settle in its Pokeball. "Spray, you deserve a good rest. We'll try to make it to Aura Town soon so we can take you and Zigzagoon to a Pokemon Center, even if we /didn't/ get to capture him." she murmured, gently kissing her beloved Squirtle on the forehead where its worst injuries were.

ooc: So...I s'pose I'll mention I got Zubat from the Slot Machine (that's most likely in Aura Town) later since it's kind of odd getting a Zubat from a Slot Machine that just "randomly appeared"? XP

bic: "Awesome! Spray, we did it! We caught a Zigzagoon!" Tina exclaimed, jumping up and down with Spray in her arms. "Now we gotta get you two to a Pokemon Center, fast!" she added quickly, picking up Zigzagoon's Pokeball. She examined it and stared thoughtfully. "What shall I name you...?" she whispered. "I got it! You'll be Tack! Tack...That's your name." she murmured, holding the Pokeball proudly in front of her before Spray looked up at her weakly. "Squir..." it whispered, almost out of breath. Hopping onto her Red Mountain Bike, Tina quickly pedalled to Aura Town.

ooc: You think I could go to Aura Town now? If not, that's perfectly fine.

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Yes, you may.
