Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Giga Drain actually gets a bonus of +2 to it's damage. So it's actually ( 10 - 7 ) + ( 9 - 10 ) = 2 + 2 = 4dmg)


Though the Natu wasn't done as she moved to finish off her prey with a single strike. Her feet would shuffle swiftly as her beak seemed to glow with power and gain in length as she rushes towards her opponent. A small flapping of wings, and she would literally jump into the air and bring her beak down with a powerful and almost earth shattering strength as she used peck.

This would end her fight with the Aerodactyl, or at least that was her thoughts as she turns immediately to face Ada. She was ready for them to call forth the next pokemon for her to face.

Not too surprisingly, the various Joltik and Skarmory were far too concerned with one another to pay the little girl even the slightest heed. There would be a few close calls as the fried corpse of a melting Skarmory dropped nearby, or a burst of electricity came too close for comfort; but in the end the child would manage to make it out relatively unscathed...save for her existing injuries of course.

Victoria would be able to proceed forward one again; but just what would she find by doing so?

The Diglett shook his head slowly ">You listen about as well as brother Taro<" He spoke calmly, showing neither the rage nor ferocity of his elder brother ">How it started no longer matters. What happened, has; and because of it I will strike back in my brother's name.<"

Jiro gave a firm nod ">It's just that simple.<"

The next instant the Diglett had disappeared down his hole; but it wouldn't be long before he reappeared. Unlike with Taro's attacks however, Jiro wasn't against being sneaky.

Bursting from the ground, the Diglett would be at Ryuu's side, spinning around rapidly to send a spray of sand at the Larvitar. As soon as he'd started however, Jiro then disappeared; reappearing mere seconds later on the opposite side of the Larvitar. Still he spun, and still the sand sprayed in the direction of Ryuu.

Again and again Jiro would repeat this process, popping up from the ground all over the place as if he were part of some crazy carnival game. By the end of it the Larvitar was being pelted by sand from all directions. It was a rather unique use of Sand-attack.

The dirt eater actually opened his mouth and tried eating at the sand while it was shot in an effort to keep it away from his face. Despite eating as much as he could, with the various shots from all over it still landed some in his eyes. Shaking his head slightly, he tried rubbing it away with his paws. It was obvious that it was slightly harder to see, but he could still manage. A sudden rage overtook the Larvitar as he growled. It was annoying that this Diglett could only have a one track mind, and think he was right in the way he saw things. Charging forward, he pushed off with his legs to give him a little boost in speed and tried to Bite his opponent and teach him a lesson!

Ryuu growled. He had missed. But there would be other chances as he went back on the defensive. He needed to save energy for the next attack. Instead he just watched wearily. His opponent seemed to be playing games and he was not amused even a little. He was fighting to protect someone and he must never lose focus or else his trainer would be at risk.

[Sorry, but I forgot what I was suppose to be doing on this island. What is it I am suppose to find?]

Disappointed, he understood the Scraggy's decision. What if another new trainer, like himself, were to stubble into another group of pokemon? If Six would've captured the Scraggy, who would've helped that innocent trainer? Six would've felt guilty for taking the Scraggy. So he bid the Scraggy farewell and continued with his search for his second pokemon and a stone that his professor told him to find. Six walked off with his Snover beside him. Hmm....Wonder which pokemon I'll encounter next. He set off once again, with the question in his mind.

[OOC: I am assuming I roll both attack and defense rolls also...]

"Still hiding," Nick mused aloud with a smirk. "Oh leader!" Nick yelled in fake praise, "Won't you teach me the way of cowering behind those who follow you?" Nick realized he was doing something similar, but there was a difference between being able to fight and not being able to fight. Nick couldn't fight against a pokemon fairly and hated to be cornered into it like this. On the other hand, Arthur has the ability and skill to fight evenly with these beasts.

Nick sighed. Whatever, it was time to fight once more.

Arthur's head swayed back and forth, thinking. He saw how this was heading and didn't care for it, but the challenge enticed him. He was still wound up and ready to go from Nick's pep talk earlier. He would be methodical, though. No need to rush into this. He would simply dodge the attack and use harder while he looked for an adequate opening to the second poochyena's solid defense.

[OOC: Though Harden may not need a die roll, and I'm still not 100% sure I can do both a defense and attack roll.]

((Just to be clear on this, Six cannot understand a WORD the Pokemon are saying. To him it comes out as nothing more then "Scraggy...Scraggy scrag scrag". Whenever you see "><" it means the text between it is being translated for your convenience, and so that your Pokemon at least can formulate a reply when needed.))

((Now as for the details of your mission. You need to A. Capture a Second Pokemon, and B. Obtain a Chrono Stone, which can only be found "Where the past lingers in the present"))

Venturing deeper into the forest, Six would quickly begin to notice the ground around him was littered with bones. A femur lay on the ground, an entire ribcage hung off a tree branch, numerous fragments of what were likely hip and collar bones littered the bushes; and most ominously, as he stepped passed the underbrush, was an entire pile of skulls.

Motion came from beside the pile, as a darkly feathered rump thrust into the air and shook about with the movement of the remainder of the body. Sifting through the skulls with her wings, it seemed to be a Vullaby...and she was naked; or at least nude compared to the majority of her kind. The black feathered avian lacked the trade mark skull the rest of her kind wore.

">Too big...too craggy...too...ew...fresh...<" The Dark-Type muttered as he dug around through the bones. It seemed she'd yet to notice the arrival of the boy; perhaps if he were quiet, he;d be able to slip by undetected.
