Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Move all the oxygen up and the carbon dioxide towards the ground!" Ginji yelled as Ralts and Metang shifted the air currents around Santa's Workshop to try and choke the fire out.

*I turn from my battle*
Me: No more bonuses, but I'll laugh even harder.

"That's a reward in of itself." Tommy chuckled, quickly pulling out some cimbols. CLASH was the sound made when Tommy bashed the guy between the giant bronze/whatever they are disks. The guy crumpled to the ground, unconscious. Tommy punched him once, then another, plus a third. "Strike one, two, three, yooooouuuurrrr Outta There!"

Tommy found a new opponent. He sent out his first pokemon, his Slakoth. The activist laughed and sent out a Delibird. The battle was about to commence.

Activist: Primape go!
*The pig monkey appears*
Me: Blastoise, let's start this off with Tommy's idea... Surf!
*Blastoise summons a great wall of water that does good damage to Primeape*
A: Thunder Punch!
*Blastoise takes good damage from the electrifying punch*
Me: Well, just Surf it again.
*Primape is hit by another Surf, and starts breathing heavilly*
A: Again!
*Blastoise is taken down by an unfortunate critical hit*
Me: Return Blastoise!
*Blastoise is recalled*
Me: Marowak, go!
*Marowak comes out*
Me: Bonemarang.
*The bone is thrown, and on its way back, Primape goes down*
A: Oh Primape, how ever harshly you've been treated, return to your dwelling.
Me: By Arceus, you guys are annoying.
A: Scizor, go!
*The red bug appears*
Me: You know that Metal Coat was a material good as well?
A: Will you just shut up!?
Me: Sure, after this. Bonemarang.
*Marowak throws her Thick Club again, and Scizor is hurt very badly*
A: Swords Dance.
*Scizor dances in a way that powers it up*
A: Quick Attack.
*Marowak is hit hard... but not that hard*
Me: A silly dance is not going to help you. Bone Club.
*Scizor is hit across the abdomen, and some cracks are in its shell as it lays down KOed*
A: Absol go!
*The disaster Pokemon appears*
Me: Brick Break!
*Absol is hit VERY hard by the skull wearing ground type*
A: Slash!
*The Absol pulls off a critical hit, but Marowak stands its ground*
Me: Brick Break again.
*Absol goes down from the devestating hit*
A: Magmortar, go!
*The powerful fire type comes out of Santa's Workshop*
Me: Bonemerang.
*The double hit does a lot of damage to the blazing Pokemon*
A: Psychic.
*Marowak finally goes down*
Me: I tire of this, Gyrados go!
*Gyrados comes out of her PokeBall, and Magmortar is intimidated*
Me: Waterfall!
*Gyrados lands a powerful attack that KO's Magmortar*
Me: Now I don't traditionally like hitting women... but I'm not going to. Slap her.
A: O_O;
*She gets slapped hard by Gyrados and does a Team Rocket blast off*

*As the battles end, it becomes apparent that there are a bunch of ice Pokemon in the area*
Me: Catch one if you want one.

*I point to Santa's Workshop where elves are already at work repairing the building*
Me: Don't worry, we'll talk to the jolly old man soon.

"No? No? No.... Ah, I can't think of anythin-- No Reindeer? Ha, I thought of something!" Tommy found himself happy for no apparent reason. Freaky. He spotted something he'd wanted: a Sealeo. He immediately sent out his first pokemon, his Gabite. The battle started immediately.

"Ok, use Dig!" Gabite obeyed, digging underground. The Sealeo's Ice Beam wizzed just overhead. The land sharkdragon launched upwards into it's foe, sending him skywards; however, the Sealeo retaliated with a second Ice beam. This was too much for Gabite, who was not only frozen in a block of ice but knocked out. How both occurred at the same time, nobody will know.

Tommy sent out Chiko, his shiny Bayleef. She used a Razor Leaf, which shot towards the eneymy and ripped it apart, barely leaving the fat pengu-- er, seel, er, I mean, SEAL with much left in it. Sadly, a Blizzard followed; it too smashed into Bayleef, knocking the poor pokemon out.

Tommy sent out his remaining pokemon, his Slakoth. Well, there was still Swampert and Flygon, so... "Yawn!" The sloth yawned in Sealeo's face, and it became drowzy. Sealeo then quickly knocked out Slakoth with a third Ice Beam. Finally, Swampert was sent out. "Rugaji, use Protect!" Just in time, as a hyper beam shot into the protective shield. The Sealeo fell asleep shortly after.

To make a long story short (though it's probably a little late for that...), Tommy threw his Great Ball at the beast of an arctic seal. With three shakes an a soft ding sound, the pokemon was finally caught.

As the ball transported away, Tommy returned his Swampert. He turned to face the group. "So, what happens next?" Tommy asked happily, not realizing that most of his team had been K.O.'ed. Mainly to weakness, but still.

Tommy sighed, kind of glad but saddened that the adventure was over. Still, he was able to go on an adventure at all, which hadn't happened in a while. "Ooh, it's in the bag!" Tommy reffered to both what was in the bag, as well as Team Aqua's easy victory over the naughty activists. "Say, what IS in teh bag?" Tommy asked curiously.
