New Friend-New Journey!

[.:~Majic~:.]

Sam pedaled her bike down a steep incline. In the considerably large basket in front of her sat her new Growlithe, Ember. She thought he might be growing used to the bike, considering he had only been in it for about an hour. As she sped down the hill, she began to laugh because his fur was flying back toward her and the fur on his face was completely flat. She slowly eased on the pedals, coming to a slow stop. She put the kickstand down as he jumped out of the basket and onto the grassy earth. She patted him on the head, saying, "You'll like it soon enough."

[Et Cetera]

The small, purplish creature stared out at the two new arrivals in wonder. Why were they there? Possibly to ruin it's home? Or to steal it's food? Not wanting to take any chances with these two, it leapt out of the bushes and charged at the Growlithes---the one that posed the most threat at the time. "Nidoran!" She screeched and used Scratch, scraping the front of Ember pretty good. "Ran!" She turned around and used Tail Whip, swinging her tail madly through the air, lowering the Fire-types defense.

Nidoran: 100%

Ember: 92% -Defense

[.:~Majic~:.]

Growlithe yelped in surprise at the sudden attack. Sam jerked her head toward the Nidoran. "A Nidoran?" she whispered. Thinking quickly, she said, "Ember! Attack the Nidoran!" Ember growled(not the attack) and used Ember on the Nidoran. Immediately after, he sped toward the Nidoran and used Bite. Then, he stood back, waiting to see what Nidoran would do.

[Et Cetera]

The fierce Ember attack pushed Nidoran backwards and nearly into a bush. "Ran!" It jumped forward and sped at the Growlithe only to be bitten by it. "Nido!" It whipped around and used Double Kick, hitting it directly in the jaw area. "Ran!" It spun around to face the Fire-type and used Scratch on its face, dealing just a bit more damage than it normally would. "Nidoran!" She scurried backwards and stopped in the same position that she'd been just before.

Nidoran: 88%

Ember: 84% -Defense

[.:~Majic~:.]

"Grow!" cried Ember as he was hit yet again by the Nidoran. "Ember! Use your Ember attack, then Bite, followed by another Ember!" Sam said. Ember nodded and did as she said, his Bite landing a hit on the Nidoran's snout. He stood firmly, waiting.

[.:~Majic~:.]

((By the way, sorry for the short posts. It's hard to think in the morning and late at night.))

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: I have to go now, so I cannot type up a long post. But, before I go, I should tell you. Try not to put so many combos together. It makes the battle go too quickly for you...Sorry. See you later, though.

[.:~Majic~:.]

((Bye!))

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Would you mind editing the post, then? By the way, you were powerplaying in part of that. (And admin can do that...XD)

[.:~Majic~:.]

((Ohhh, okay. Sorry 'bout that. I'll make a new post. Here: ))

"Grow!" cried Ember as he was hit yet again by the Nidoran. "Ember! Use your Ember attack again!" Sam said. Ember nodded and did as she said. The Ember attack was slightly more powerful this time, but not enough to make much of a difference. Then, he stood firmly, waiting.

[.:~Majic~:.]

((Hey, what does Growl do?))

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Thanks! And you could've just clicked 'Edit,' you know? Right?

Bic:

The Ember forced Nidoran to be pushed backwards---even further than before. At a high velocity, she rammed into a tree, sustaining a Critical Hit. Now, angered my the fierce attack, she retaliated with a strong Scratch. "Nidoran!" She pulled her claws across the Growlithe's face, leaving an evident mark that she'd been there. "Ran, Ran, Nidoran!" She waved her tail cutely (Tail Whip), and wandered off to her original spot again.

Nidoran: 69%

Ember: 76% -Defense

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: The technique 'Growl' lowers your opponents attack. I believe. Er...lemme check...

[.:~Majic~:.]

"Growlithe!" Ember cried as he felt the sting of the Scratch and Tail Whip yet again. Then, he used Ember again. The air became hot as he attacked. Then, he used Growl for the first time.

[.:~Majic~:.]

((I'll be back later. I'm going to see HP 5 right now. But I'll be on ;ater. Bye!))

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Bye!

Bic:

Nidoran, again, fell backwards from the powerful Fire-attack. Well, at their levels, it was a powerful attack, anyway. And, even though slowly becoming exhausted, she stood up on all fours again, huffing and puffing from the fierce battle. Regardless of her ever-weakening condition, she charged at Ember and used Scratch again, slashing at his side this time. "Nidoran!" She screeched as she wandered away again.

Nidoran: 61% -Attack

Ember: 69% -Defense

[.:~Majic~:.]

"Lithe!" Ember said as the Nidoran used Scratch yet again. "Ember! Give it all you've got!" Sam said. First, Ember used Growl, hopefully to lower the Nidoran's attack, then followed up with another Ember attack. Finally, he growled(not the attack), charging toward the Nidoran, and used Bite once more. Then, he stood firmly, although he was in pain.

[Et Cetera]

Nidoran flinched as the Growlithe Growled sharply and loudly, almost petrified by it's tremendous voice. "Nidoran!" She screeched as she was hit with both of Ember's attacks. She charged forward in what looked like an attempted Tackle, which she didn't know anyway. Before impact, however, she whipped around and used Double Kick, slamming both legs into Ember's jaw with extreme force. "Nido---Nidoran!!" She wiggled cheerily and scurried away again.

Nidoran: 43% -Attack

Ember: 59% -Defense

[.:~Majic~:.]

"Growlithe!" he growled as the attacks hit him. Although, he was glad his Growl attack had helped a bit. "Now, Ember, give 'em your best Ember attack!" Sam said. "Grow," Ember said, and released a very strong Ember attack, at least, for a beginner. He took a few steps back toward Sam, waiting for the Nidoran's move.

[Et Cetera]

Nidoran jumped diagnally as if trying to escape the hot coals, but she ended up getting scraped along the side instead. It barely dealt any damage, but it did inflict a burn, which wouldn't be very helpful either...In retaliation, however, Nidoran charged forward and raised her front, left leg into the air. Once she was close enough to Ember, she pulled it down to Scratch the creatures side. "Ran, Ran, Nidoran!" She mocked it as she stepped away from it.

Nidoran: 40% -Attack +Burn

Ember: 51% -Defense

[.:~Majic~:.]

"Grow! Growlithe!" Ember cried as the Scratch hit his side yet again. By now, he was furious and ready to defeat this pestful Pokemon. Before Sam said anything, he charged toward Nidoran and used Bite, his jaws clamping down firmly. Then, he flipped his tail, ran back to Sam, and used another Ember attack. "Lithe," he said, content for now.

[Et Cetera]

Nidoran pulled back from the Bite, only to have her front, right leg clamped down on. "Ran!" She cried, using Scratch to get the Growlithe away from her. Before she really knew what was going on, she was attacked with, yet again, Ember. "Nido---ran, raaan, RAAAAN!" She tumbled backwards and sustained another burn from the pesky Fire-type. And, again frustrated, she used Double Kick on her opponent.

Nidoran: 27% -Attack +Burn

Ember: 34% -Defense

[.:~Majic~:.]

"Growlithe!" he cried as he felt the sting of Scratch and Double Kick. "Don't worry, Ember. Almost got it!" Sam called from behind. "Use one more Ember. That oughta do the trick!" "Lithe," he said, and used all of his strength to give the best Ember attack he could. He stould, wincing as he waited.

[.:~Majic~:.]

((I gotta go. I'll be on tomorrow morning if not tonight. Bye!))

[Et Cetera]

Nidoran stared as the fiery attack sped closer and closer, too weak to try to dodge the attack and prevail. The scorching hot Embers hit her directly, immediately causing the creature to fall backwards and slide a few feet on the ground, leaving her twitching and wincing from the pain. "Nidoran..." She stood up, and, with the last of her strength, used Scratch on Ember.

Nidoran: 18% -Attack +Burn

Ember: 28% -Defense

[.:~Majic~:.]

((When are Pokemon catchable?))

"Okay, Ember, my turn!" Sam said, pulling the spare Pokeball off of her belt. She tossed it toward the Nidoran, hoping she would get lucky and catch her.

((Hey, I'm real sorry about the whole NeoMailing and PMing thing. I won't do it anymore. I just wasn't thinkin' right. Hope you can forgive me if you know that I really meant no harm.))

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: It's alright. It's just that after a few of each (Not just yours, others did it, too. So don't worry) it got kinda annoying. Also---only staff and YOU can see the warning bar. It'll be gone soon. And I forgot to put it, but the Pokémon is catchable NOW. XD

[.:~Majic~:.]

((Uuhh, is this board done or what?))

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: OMG! I am sorry that I haven't responded. So...here we are...

[.:~Majic~:.]

Sam picked up the Pokeball, and, tossing it in the air, said to Ember, "Great job, friend! You did wonderful. And we should probably name this Nidoran... Amethyst and call her Ame for short."
"Grow." Ember nodded in agreement.
"Well, we need to get to Aura Town quick and get you two healed." Then, Sam picked up Ember and placed him in the bicycle's basket.
