Welcome to Gaia! ::

Thanks for the pass and I'll remember what you said about the attacks, also I appreciate critism, both good and bad, because it tells me what I need to work on.

Maddy sits on the ceiling. "I got a rank-up, right? That means I'm Tier 3, right? That means I can evolve not only Pichu, but always Combusken, right? RIGHT?!"

"Yeah, Combusken's had enough evo points for a long time... I've just been waiting for that one rank-up... and Pichu just got it's 5th evo point so I'm sure she can evolve as well..." Maddy finally notices that Pichu is still hanging onto her shoulder, still trying not to fall off. "How long were you hanging there?" Pichu shocks Maddy and they both fall off the ceiling. "Ow!"

"Yay!!!!" Maddy watches as Combusken and Pichu evolve. "That's so awesome! I'm gonna kick even more a** now!!!" She pokes her new Blaziken and ends up running around HQ getting chased by it, avoding its claws. "AHHHH!" Pikachu decides to join in and Maddy is now avoiding claws and lightning bolts. "OHMIGOD MAYBE THIS WASN'T A GOOD IDEA!!!!"

Maddy jumps up into the vents. Blaziken sits down by the wall, watching the vent, waiting. Pikachu sits on Blaziken's head, which basically pisses him off, and then they start scratching at eachother. Maddy jumps out of a vent on the other side of the room and hides behind Brian.

Blaziken and Pikachu notice Maddy when Brian moves out of the way. Maddy just looks over at Brian. "Thank you soooo much for that." Once again, she starts running away avoiding a flurry of claws and lightning bolts.

Maddy rolls her eyes. "Men..." She eventually trips and ends up sliding under the couch, out of harms way. She then takes the chance to recall Blaziken and Pikachu. "Well that works..."

3 CHEERS FOR A BARRAGE OF MISSIONS *takes out a tack and slams a report on the mission board*

MISSION- Bug Brigade
Nincadas have been causing trouble for travelers, your mission is to go and stop them.
(You will face 3 Nincadas and 1 Shedinja)

Pokemon:
Nincada

Funds upon completion:500


Realizing I am devoid of transportation I decide to try to find a simple mission that will be easy enough for me to complete in a short period of time yet challenging enough for me to deserve a rank up. I decide to sit down and read up on recent news and I notice many complaints of local residents that live near HQ about a group of Nincada horsing anyone that comes into their territory and of course the first thing that comes to mind of the locals is that it’s team Aqua’s doings.

I pinpoint the general location of the Nincada’s hideout to a section of walkway in a nearby park biased on eyewitness accounts. By my studies I figure I am ready to set out to stop the Nincada army before we get blamed for anything else that happens. I figure I don’t need many pokemon for this mission and the only items I need are pokeballs and my bike, so I walk over to my box system and set my party to Treeko, Vulpix and Sneasel and deposit the rest.

After I completed my planning I creep out the front door trying not to draw attention to myself, grab my bike which was leaning on the side of the wall near the door and set my GPS system to find me the fastest course to get to my location. Finally setting up my plan of action I hop on my bike and take a 15 slow speed ride with my pokemon running along side of me to the local park where from my understandings is where I can find and stop the menacing Nincada swarm.

Once there it was just about noon and the sun was blazing intensely from the cloudless sky. I decided to wait in the shade of a large maple tree to try to see the Nincada in action or at least wait for them to leave their underground burrows. About an hour passed and no person even came near the pathway, I thought to myself it was a beautiful day and how peculiar it was that no one dared to go outside, the most I can assume is that news spreads very quickly around here about the Nincada attacks so the best I can do is try to provoke and attack myself.

Trying to look as pedestrian as possible I walked along the path while stomping my feet on the pavement assuming that the vibrations in the ground are affecting the Nincada somehow. After a few moments I noticed small claws begin to dig out of the ground so I quickly send out all my pokemon to surround me just incase of a blitz attack, and just as I assumed 3 Nincada arose from the ground and attempted to stun me with a surprise attack but instead they fell right into my little trap.

three separate battles quickly commenced between my 3 pokemon and the team of Nincadas. As soon as the Nincadas realized what happened they simultaneously dug their way back underground and waited for another opportunity to strike the first Nincada made its way out of the ground and began to shoot sand at Vulpix’s face blinding her momentarily and enabling Nincada to make the first strike with a strong scratching attack. Vulpix then began to glisten with a blue aura and her eyes shown bright red unleashing a hypnotic attack putting the Nincada in almost like a daydream trance then she quickly followed up with a barrage of flamethrower attacks knocking Nincada out cold.

As soon as that battle ended another Nincada emerged from the ground and this time went after Treeko. Treeko studying Vulpix’s battle was smart enough to avoid the Nincada’s first blinding attack and was able to hit the Nincada with an ariel ace attack right from the start. The Nincada stumbling from the strong blow countered with an Leach Life attack draining a decent amount of Treeko’s health and replenishing its own. Then Treeko’s hands began to glisten with a red light and he launched forward with a powerful Dragon claw attack downing the second of the 3 Nincadas.

The third and final Nincada emerged from the ground and picked Sneasel as its target this time quickly shooting large amounts of dust into Sneasel’s face then burrowing its way back underground leaving Sneasel no time to attack. Moments later the Nincada emerged from the ground underneath Sneasel and caused Sneasel to loose his balance and stumble over. As soon as Nincada seen this opportunity it rushed over and drained the rest of Sneasel’s heath with a leach life attack and fully restored its own. Vulpix just itching for another fight decided that she wanted to take Sneasel’s place and it seemed there was no stopping her. As soon as she stepped in front of the Nincada it lunged at her with its claws out but before its hit could land vulpix already unleashed a powerful flamethrower attack at close range knocking Nincada on its back and leaving it with scorching burns. I quickly pulled a pokeball out of my pocket and forcefully whipped it at the Nincada because I was fairly mad at it for injuring my Sneasel. After a few moments of the ball shaking fiercely seeing that it still had fighting spirit the ball stopped moving and I caught myself a Nincada.

As soon as I was just about to walk away thinking I had a great victory today with Vulpix at my side a shadowy figure floated out of the ground that I had never seen before and it began to pester Vulpix. Vulpix still determined to fight tried its hypnosis technique but it seemed to have no effect on the pokemon. The mysterious pokemon then made itself fully visible in front of me and Vulpix and I was able to tell that it was a Shedinja which this whole time was probably leading the havoc that the Nincada had caused. Vulpix then tried to use her energy ball attack on the Shedinja but it was completely ineffective, it almost seemed to be absorbed into the shell of the Shedinja. Shedinja then countered with a ball of darkness which washurled forcefully at Vulpix injuring her severly leaving her only one last resort… She jumped up in the air and grabbed on Shedinja’s back wings and before it can turn transparent again she began to envelop herself in a fiery storm turning the Shedinja into chunk of cinders and after that move she fell to the ground and passed out… With most of my pokemon severely injured I pedaled as fast as I could back to HQ healed up my pokemon back at the medical ward and let out Nincada to meet my other team members, then sat down to write this report…
