A Series of Misadventures

[todd]

"Nickle! Come back!" Todd shouted after his new little Aron, but he could swear it went faster at hearing his voice. Todd had to jog to catch up, but eventually picked up the small but heavy Pokemon. "You can't just walk away like that! We're a team now and-"

But Nickle wasn't paying attention. He had been taken out of his home by a spineless human who wanted to be called master. He couldn't care less about what he had to say.

Todd, having finished the lecture, put Nickle back down. He sighed. Was it always going to be like this? He glanced at his watch. It was already 7: 18. Seeing as he wanted to be in town to rest for the night, they'd have to get moving. Todd went to be early and woke up early. "The early pidgey catches the caterpie." He always said.

So now he set out on the road there, walking briskly to keep up with Nickle and waiting for another Pokemon to appear.

[Chu Chu]

As Todd was walking something in the bushes rattled. Then a loud cry came afterwards and out of the bushes came a magby! The small pokemon looked around with a scared look on it's face, as if it was expecting something to come out and attack it. "Magby!" Then it noticed Todd and his Aron. The Magby suddenly seemed to forget what it was worried about and stepped up to face the trainer and his pokemon. "MAGBY, MAG!" It shouted it's challenge, and blew a small blaze near Todd's feet.

[todd]

"Yeep!" Todd screamed like a girl leaping upward and falling. Thank god there was nobody here to see that. He thought before he heard high pitched uncontrollable laughter. Nickle was rolling on the floor laughing so hard there were tears in his eyes.

Todd glared at the small steel Pokemon. "Are you going to help or just laugh at me?" Nickle looked at him in a way that said "Just laugh at you."

Todd rolled his eyes. "I'll give you a reward berry." He said, suddenly thinking of the three berries in his bag. Nickle immediately shot up, ready to battle. "Mud slap!" Todd cheered, but Nickle ignored him. He quickly hardened and then tackled, heading for the hip. That was a magby's center of gravity and would hopefully have the magby flying.

[Chu Chu]

The magby jumped out of the way and smerked at the Aron "*Heh, a pokemon that doesn't listen to their trainer? That's a first*" The magby jumped back and let out an ember attack on the Aron.

Magby: 100%

Nickle: 91%

[todd]

Nickle said nothing. All that mattered right now was getting to the berry, and this smart Aleck magby was in the way. He repeated the same as last time, getting more solid with the harden, and more desperate with the tackle.

Todd bit his lip from the sidelines. How could he help if Nickle didn't listen to him? He examined the Magby carefully, not wanting to miss a detail. Maybe he could find its weakness and hope Nickle will have the brains to listen to him when he finds it.

[Chu Chu]

The magby tried to dodge once again, but this time he was off and was slightly hit. The magby glared angrily at the Aron, and used another ember attack. "*You're gonna have to work harder to beat me!*" The Magby said mockingly.

Magby: 92%

Aron: 84% +defense

[todd]

Then Todd had it. "Nickle! Mud slap! Now!" His voice was so demanding Nickle felt he had to do it. As if something was compelling him to. The mud slap went straight to the face, mainly the eyes. It was time for Todd to prove he would make a good trainer.

[Chu Chu]

The Magby stepped back and yowled. He rubbed his eyes like mad, trying to get the mud out of his eyes. He tried his luck and aimed an ember attack new aron, but it missed. "Mag, Magby!"

Magby: 83% -accuracy

Nickle: 84% +defense

[todd]

"Again!" Happy at the first success, Nickle obeyed, thinking that this would be the only part of Todd's plan and that he would finish the Magby off easily with this rate. Todd watched on, waiting for this to hit before putting the rest of his plan in action. He was becoming more confident with Nickle, and more friendly toward him.

[Chu Chu]

The Magby was hit again by the attack. It fell backwards and cried out in fustration. The magby let out an ember attack, which hit the aron.

Magby: 74% -accuracy

Nickle: 76% +defense

[todd]

Todd nodded happily, his plan was going right so far. "Now, get behind it and tackle!" Todd yelled. He had noticed the Magby depended only on its flame to keep Nickle at long range, but an attack from behind should theoretically work.

[todd]

Nickle did his routine harden before heading behind the Magby and tacklibng. This time he aimed for the back of the knees, hoping to knock down the small fire type.

[Chu Chu]

The Magby was hit from behind, it crashed to the ground with a loud smash. The Magby quickly sat up and spun around and used a ember attack on the aron, not wanting to give up.

Magby: 65% -accuracy

Nickle: 70% +defense

[todd]

Nickle did another mud-slap, wanting to make sure the Magby had almost no visibility.

[Chu Chu]

Magby tried to use an ember attack, but it missed again and fell on the floor.

Magby: 54% -accuarcy

Nickle: 70% +defense

[todd]

Nickle tackled after a quick harden. Hmm...it looked like being a trainer's pokemon was pretty easy.

[Et Cetera]

Magby, determined to defeat it's opponent, used another Ember attack on Nickle, which hit directly, resulting in a Critical Hit. Excited, the Magby skipped around in circles until it was nearly tipping over from dizziness.

Magby: 46% -accuarcy

Nickle: 55% +defense

[todd]

This'll teach him. Cocky lil' twerp... Nickle thought as he circled the Magby and attemptd to tackle the back of the legs. It was obvious Nickle was a sore loser, even when he wasn't losing.

[Chu Chu]

The Magby wipped it's eyes and managed to get enough dirt out so he could see what Nickle was doing. After being hit with a tackle attack it unleashed an ember attack towards Nickle.

Magby: 38%

Nickle: 46%

[todd]

Nickle aimed carefully before atttempting to tackle the magby in the stomache. His goal was to knock the wind out of the "lil' twerp" long enough fore Nickle to unleash another tackle.

[todd]

Todd held back a bit, wondering why it had showed no reaction. Oh, well. It wasn't his job to wonder, it was to beat up the little shrimp and then get a berry.

[Et Cetera]

Ooc; Sorry, I forgot that Chu was gone. XD

Magby leapt to the right and avoided the Tackle. "Magby!" It aimed it's mouth at Nickle and unleashed another Ember attack.

Magby: 38%

Nickle: 40%

[todd]

Nickle winced before turning on the magby with a mud slap attack.

[Et Cetera]

Magby flinched in pain, but retaliated with another Ember attack. Sadly, the attack missed.

Magby: 32% -Accuracy

Nickle: 40%

[todd]

Nickle tackled foward, this one not being as strong as the rest. Exhaustion had begun to set in.

[Et Cetera]

Not a moment after being Tackled, Magby let loose a Smog attack, which caused Nickle to become poisoned.

Magby: 27% -Accuracy

Nickle: 36% +Poisoned

[todd]

Nickle swore. Now he had exhaustion and poisoning to worry about. He did his best to mud slap though, hoping to take this magby out with him.

[Et Cetera]

Ooc: Oh, my God! I am so sorry to have made you wait so long...I thought Chu had it, but I guess not. SOOOO SORRY! Please feel free to tell an admin if it's been over four days. And sorry again... Don't be shy, though, 'kay?

Bic:

Again angry after being hit with a Mud Slap, Magby let loose another Ember attack. "Magby, Mag!" It watched as the flames danced towards and hit Nickle. "By!" It jumped, a little too excited after one hit.

Magby: 22% -Accuracy

Nickle: 27% +Poisoned
