Welcome to Gaia! ::

Allen chuckled and threw his hands up in defense, "To each their own, it's just that, they're so... Obvious. Too obvious." He shrugged. He peaked into the sky to see his Volcarona still flying around above the city.

As they moved out onto the route. Allen bit on the inside of his cheek, looking around into the grass and eventually to the Pokemon list Maddy sent to the TADS. Nothing really appealed to him.

Caleb walked with the rest of the group until he received the list of pokemon in the area on his TADs.

"Pawniard...or Mightyena might come in handy...." he said quietly. That is if he could find one of them. He also noted Maddy mentioning Route 15 as well. He wasn't entirely sure what pokemon were on that route. Perhaps there was something better for him to catch. Something stronger. These thoughts distracted him as he walked, and kept him from seeing where he was going or what was in front of him. He suddenly came face to face with a Pumpkaboo. Literally.

He sighed and shook his head. Definitely not one of the pokemon he was wanting. He sent out his Fennekin. "Might as well get some training in..." he muttered. "Use Sunny Day!" Caleb ordered.

The Fennekin sent a beam of white light into the sky, causing the sun to appear much brighter. The Pumpkaboo looked up before looking at Caleb's Fennekin. It formed a ball of dark energy with black static around it before firing the ball at the Fennekin.

"Dammit..." Caleb said, digging in his bag for a potion. While he rummaged through his bag, a spare poke ball fell out and bounced on the ground before stoppping. Intrigued by this, the Pumpkaboo moved closer. It observed the ball before pressing the button and being engulfed in red light. It disappeared into the ball, the poke ball locking as the Pumpkaboo was caught.

Caleb spun around, seeing the poke ball on the ground and the Pumpkaboo nowhere to be seen.

He was definitely not pleased.

Once everyone had fought and/or captured a Pokémon, they continued onto Route 15. They followed the river until another one appeared on their other side and they eventually came to a fork in the path, each path leading them over a bridge traversing one of the rivers.

Maddy brought up a list of Pokémon available here as well.
"Dendemille is on the eastern path, so this is our last chance to fight or catch a Pokémon."
She plucked another Poké Ball off her belt, this one containing her Fletchinder.
"Again, I'm only interested in training, but feel free to catch a Pokémon here if you didn't catch one already."

[Again, reserve a post. If you've caught a Pokémon already this RP, you cannot catch another one unless you've magically convinced me to give you a White Flute. Feel free to fight one still, though.]

Maddy released her Fletchinder as a Murkrow flew down out of the sky. The black bird-like Pokémon rushed at Fletchinder and buffeted the fire bird with one of it's wings.
"Steel Wing!"
Fletchinder's wings shone with a metallic sheen as it flew at Murkrow and clothes-lined it. Murkrow squawked angrily and countered with Aerial Ace, hitting Fletchinder with a blindingly fast motion.
"Flamethrower!"
A burst of flame rained down over Murkrow, dealing heavy damage and burning it. It attacked with a second, more feeble Aerial Ace and then succumbed to it's burn.
Maddy recalled Fletchinder and waited for the others to finish their battles.

Walking through the end of Route 15 just before entering through the gate to Dendemille Town. He gulped down a breath and averted his eyes toward the ruins of a broken down hotel he always remembered being too chicken to go near as a child. He gave a small sigh, and started to look back to the gate when his eyes caught a glimpse of light reflecting bright off something. He stopped in his tracks and squinted. His eyes followed the light speck down into the grass. He moved closer and closer toward the grass, taking cautious steps. Just as he was about to take his first step into the grass the... whatever it was, ducked down below the line of sight through the grass. there was a short rustling and a little black, silver and red Pokemon leapt out, ready to strike.

Allen ducked to the side and rolled away, the little Pokemon spun around once and jabbed it's little knife-like claws forward. Feisty little thing.
He tossed a ball into the air, "Ecrelys, let's show this Pawniard some real claws!" The Kabutops hit the ground and shrieked. The Pawniard actually jumped and shifted back a little, though it did stand it's ground. It brought a chuckle from the trainer. "Well, Waterfall." Allen said, Ecrelys charged forward, mimicking the way he'd climb a Waterfall, and ran right across the wild Pokemon. The Pawniard, gave probably one of the cutest cries Allen had heard and started slashing around wildly.

It managed to scrape across Ecrelys' exterior a few times before running out of energy and needing to take a breather. Allen shook his head and called for a Rock Slide. The Kabutops nodded, dashing backwards to leap over and behind a few smaller rocks, he stuck his claws into the ground and swung his legs forward to kick the rocks high int othe air to topple down over the small opponent. The Pawniard retorted by slowly running one of it's bladed arms with another, producing a horrid sound to weaken the defenses of Ecrelys. Allen shuddered and had to cover his ears to help defend himself against the horrid sound. Allen pulled a ball from his bag and tossed it.

When the sound disappeared, he and Ecrelys shared a sigh of relief.
''wriggle,,
''wriggle,,
''wriggle,,
.......Ding! The Pawniard had been caught by the Great Ball.

Allen gave a chuckle, "The little guy's gonna be a handful." He turned to walk back to the group.

*I look at my beat-up Skiddo*
Me: I suppose I can walk.
*I follow the professor*

Allen followed quietly behind the rest, he glanced around, seeming almost nervous, and watched a few areas before they followed Sycamore to his house.
