Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tsuki veered into the Ilex forest with a goal in mind. Some man was overly digging mines here. With machinery too! Putting his hover board and goggles away he started to walk near some noises. Seeing an obese man he listened in to what he said.

"Oh man! Who cares about what the people say! I'm going to be stinking rich! Then nobody can annoy me about nature. Heck, it's making me M-O-N-E-Y. Sweet money." he said to himself as he got on the drill.

Paling he got on his board and swerved in front of him then yelled "Maggy Smokescreen!" Soon enough Maggy the Magby jumped off his head and blew a lot of smoke in the mans face. What Maggy didn't see was a Lotad use Tackle on her.

The man fell but had a sneer on his face telling Lotad for another Tackle. As it charged Tsuki yelled "Ember!" Maggy parried to the left and shot a shot of fire on it. Lotad defineatly was burned from being hit so close.

"Thanks. Lotad finish your Bide." Carl scoffed. Lotad released energy it was holding up and KO'd Maggy. But then burn KO'd Lotad as well.
Returning her he said "Go Blast!"

Sadly Carl sent out a Exeggcute which was a Grass Type. He snarled "Barrage." Suddenly all of them charged at Blast.

"Get near a tree and when they're near jump to dodge!" Tsuki yelled. Blast swiftly did so. Then as the Execute neared Blast jumped as high as he cold and grabbed a branch. He did so luckily as the enemy hit the tree face first and fainted from the impact. Tsuki returned his Pokémon and took out a pair of handcuffs. Using his SNAG he called 911 and left. Seeing a Restore Machine on the drill he healed his Pokémon. As they healed Tsuki picked up a stray Leaf Stone. "You see? Take one and leave. No hurting the enviroment Carl.

He had had a nice day. He fought a Hippowdon and caught Flyga. Looking back he didn't see any Pokémon in trouble so he didn't need to Snag any. Who knows? One day he might meet the guardian of the Ilex Forest. Putting on his goggles he put his Pokéballs and his belt. Maggy jumped out and went on his head and they zoomed off to return to Mt. Silver.

By the shine not so far away a green Pokémon might have been heard saying "Bi?"


Tsuki veered in from Moo Moo Meadows. He was friends with the ranchers twin daughters from an early age. With Maggy on his head he zoomed next to the Torch Acres and knocked on the door. After a few seconds a large old man with some burn marks and a grin to match his size opened it up.

"Well, shock me pants and call me a Magnemite you're the young'n sent to help with me problem!" He said enthusiasticly. Without another word he explained the situation in an accent far to heavy for most people to understand. Luckily Tsuki was friends had family near here so he knew hill billy talk in a sense. From what he heard there where 4 Sneasils and a Weavle eating the eggs there and that was a no-go for the Acres.

With that a few hours later Tsuki walked outside with Drowzee. Being psychic might help detect them. Seeing a hand gesture from his friend he followed him into a Torchic coop. Most of the eggs weren't hurt except for one. Yolk was all over the place near a broken egg with a Sneasel to boot! Looking at Tsuki it shrieked and tackled him out of the coop scratching him spitting food out of it's mouth at the same time. Drowzee ever calm did a Confusion without knowing type match ups. Pcychic was weak to Dark. Returning Drowzee he sent out Blast.

Blast gave him a smile and looked at the Sneasel. Giving it a growl it ran at it and went in shell using a Rapid Spin. With another shriek 2 more Sneasels came and they all did scratch on Blast, throwing him back.

"Hey!" Tsuki snarled. They had no sence of a fair fight. With that he sent out all of his Pokémon. With that he said "Use your Combo Attack everyone! Ember, Water-Gun, Gust, and Confusion!" With Maggy blowing fire, Blast shooting water, Flyga pushing sharp wind, and Drowzee emitting pcychic energy they knocked them all out. That was not done without waking up an angry Combusken. Returning all but Flyga Tsuki said "Use Dig if she atacks." With that Flyga went underground.

Hearing a roar it made one leg go on fire and charged Tsuki. Blaze Kick! On command Flyga jumped out of the ground and knocked Combusken on a tractor. With an open gas fuse! Sending Drowzee he yelled "Protect!" after dashing and covering the Combusken. It indeed exploded and would have killed Tsuki had he not made Drowzee use Protect. That wasn't without setting a few trees on fire. But as soon as Blast started wetting the trees with water it was slashed by none other than Weavile!

It and another Sneasel who stood by him made a look saying 'This is our turf now back off!' The Sneasel even grabbed a branch and set the grass around them on fire! They wanted a fight to enact their revenge for their allies that Tsukis Pokémon defeated earlier. The Sneasel walked up and looked at Drowzee and made a Shadow Claw pushing him far back. He was hurt but he wouldn't be beat by these snot nosed brats of a lame Pokémon herd!

Drowzee charged doing several Karate Chops on the Sneasel blowing it far into the air. As it fell Weavile tried to make a Slash at him. With quicking Tsuki countered it with a Withdraw from Blast who blocked Drowzee. The rebound blew it into the fire! Then Drowzee finished the Sneasel off with a Mega Kick blowing it to who knows where. That left the Weavile. Tsuki returned all of his Pokémon but Blast who shot water at the Weavile to stop the fire. That Pokémon was burned from the fire badly along with obvious scarring from countless Torchic, Combuskens, and maybe a Blaziken? Sighing he picked it up and walked back to the Acres.

"Why di'ja bring that no good weasle back to me! Why that thing almost took out my Blazikens eye out!" the ranchers who's name went by Billy.

"Simple, if you can use him to keep other Sneasels away he'll be an asset. Weaviles can control Sneasels easily and this one is strong since it took several of my Pokémon to defeat." Tsuki explained plainly. He looked at Billy's face and saw he agreed. Dropping a Pokéball on it he up the other. The Blaziken and Weavile were indeed powerful so they'd be a great help.

With a goodbye he walked out. He felt a bulge in his bookbag and opened it. Out jumped a Sneasel! Drowzee popped out of his Pokéball and smiled at him. It was the one that took on his Confusion and was blown into the air. It was defineatly Adament. With a chuckle Tsuki dropped a Pokéball on it, picked it up, and walked away. He'd have to wait to get a non-evolving Pokémon a little longer but hey, his team was based of friendships, not statistics.

Tsuki sent all of his Pokémon out. Maggy, Blast, Flyga, Drowzee, and now... Slash. Smiling Drowzee used Teleport. With that they went back to the HQ.

Mission Three

Tsuki flew in on Skarsy, his Skarmory to begin his mission. Stop and get Team Ninja out of the Ilex Forest after stopping their crimes. Those jerks were force evolving Pokémon to use their powders, poisend, or anything else for their 'ninjaness'. He sighed at their idioscy and walked on to the forest. It was quiet except for a dude in a jumpsuit attacking a Kakuna. Team Ninja!

Tsuki ran up to the grunt and said "Hey get outa here. This is my favorite place in all of Johto and I won't let morons like you mess it up!" The ninja laughed and sent out a Butterfree.

Shaking his head he said "Use Airial Ace Skarsy." Skarsy nodded flew high up then slashed down on the butterfly KOing it with ease. The grunt repeated with a Dustox, using Sleep Powder! Switching her out for Maggy he said "Flame Wheel!" Maggy giggled in her own way and burned the Dustox after rolling over it in a fury of fire! The grun paled and ran away like a coward. Tsuki smiled and said "Let's get going. There are going to be a couple more members.
He kept walking on as the same Kakuna followed. Those Ninja jerks were mesing with his friends and that was a no-no. Tsuki smiled and found 2 more Team Ninja's playing cards. Not only were they messing with the Ilex Forest but they were slacking off too. Tsuki said "Hey! Leave the forest before I make you!" They laughed and sent out a Scizor and a Pincer. Perfect. Sending Blast he said "Hey Maggy use Flamethrower on the Scizor and Blast use Hydro Pump on the Pincer." They did so as the Pincer was Ko'd. The Scizor was nowhere to be found. It had dodged and used a Rock Throw at Maggy making her pass out from pain.

Tsuki got made said "Hey! Aqua Tail double time!" Blast growled at the Bug and slammed his tail at it. However it met it with a Metal Claw. Getting a signal from both trainers they repeated several times. Each time they met and each time they got tired. Eventually Blast got hit into a tree. Needing an idea he said "Rapid Spin off that branch!" Pointing to the branch above the turtle's head. In a second he followed the command. He rocoshied off it, missing the Scizor. But he continued off another tree and hit the back of it's head. With that Blast passed out. Along with Scizor!

Seeing them run away he continued with the Kakuna. It hopped along to show it to another grunt who was just leaning against a tree. He said simply "I know you're a Snagem so let's get on with the fight. I'm not going to let you get anywhere near our leader so you'll just have to deal with the Executive. I use different bug Pokémon so be prepared." With a Snarl he sent out a Volcarona. Tsuki just paled. He had 2 Pokémon on him. A Dark an a Psychic. type. Sending out Hypno he said "Use... Psyshock." Hypno shot out a burst of psychic energy hitting the huge bug. It was unfazed. Sending out Slash he said "Swift and Psychic now!" They fused their combined attack and shot it at the Volcarona. It passed out then and there. Kakuna was nowhere to be seen as the Team Ninja Executive sent out a Galvantula.

Tsuki said "Fine, bug boy! Hypno use Fire Punch to finish that spider off!" Hypno laughed and punched the spider far out of sight. The Executive didn't run. Meerly stepping out of the way he said "I expect it'll be an interesting battle. Go on... but don't expect to win. Takashi has a prize Pokémon with him." The Snagem nodded and walked into a nearby cave.

Inside were jars full of powder, poisen, claws, and anything else you can use from a bug. A burly man sat down with a sinister look on his face then said "Ha! You're all that Snagem could send? Well I'll check out your weak Pokémon when their in my possesion after I beat you. Go Weezing use Self Destruct!" Hypno jumped in front of Tsuki and took the attack making him KO. Leaving him with just Slash to fight a Dustox and a prize Pokémon.

Takashi laughed as he got up. "Face it. The odds are against you 2 to 1. That Weavile won't get you very far! Go Dustox use Gust!" Slash jumped and did a Slash before the bug could even react. The Gust however did come after and hit him. At this point Slash was hurt and did a critical hit on the moth. They were both low on health. Tsuki, needing a quick defeat said "Ice Beam!" Slash had never used the move but he liked Ice. Taking a breath of air he shot pure ice chi at the Dustox making it KO. That left the prize.

"Ha! How's that for 2 to 1?" Tsuki said with a smile. However one of the jars broke. Inside was a carcase that seemed to float earily.

"You see," Takashi explained "The powders, claws, poisons, and everything else helps us perfect our ninjaing ways. But I noticed something odd about what Ninjasks make. Their old shells make a new life. In the form of Shedinja!" Tsuki told Slash to use Swift and it hit. But it did nothing. He had heard of Pokémon like that before but... They needed an attack that would really damage a bug type and Slash was a Dark type. They weren't set to defeat them with ease. Too bad Skarsy was sleeping now! Tsuki needed an idea and ran the super effective chart in his head while Slash was dodging several Shadow Balls. He made a 'duh' look and said "Use Faint Attack." Slash finally did so.
Takasha look astonished as Tsuki called the cops. They came and picked him up but some grunts escaped. They wouldn't do so much harm now that the police were going to add watchs to the Ilex Forest. So Tsuki healed his Pokémon and headed home back to Mt. Silver.



Walking near Pallet Town Tsuki read a Wanted poster. Apparently some Bulbasaur was causing a disturbance so he decided to go ahead and catch it. But where was it. Walking around a kid with a Charmader seemed to be gleaming with joy. Until it came. The trainer challenged the Bulbasaur but was defeated in one move.

"That is one over leveled Pokémon." Noted Tsuki as it ran back into the forest. He sighed and revived the Charmader then walked into where the kid had come from. Prof. Oak's Lab.

There the famouse Prof. Oak was studying an Eevee. Tsuki had tapped his shoulder as the old man jumped and went "Dear lord! I thought you were that ruthless Bulbasaur. That pest has been defeating trainers ever since it got away from my lab. I raised it up to level 10 before it escaped and you see... all the new Pokémon here are about level 5. Now from all the training it's gotten to be a real problem and I can't fight it alone. So can you do that?"

Tsuki nodded with a smile then walked out. Prof. Oak smiled slyly. He could fight it but would rather see a youth take care of it. A Pokémon that powerful couldn't be handled by a new trainer and being stuck at the lab wasn't healthy. So he let it 'escape'.

Walking into the forest Tsuki sighed with no avail of finding the Bulbasaur. Getting an idea he went to the town motel and waited for the morning. He got up and went near the entrance of the Lab and sent out Maggy saying "Wow! I finally get my first Pokémon and it's an awesome Magby!" The little fire type only giggled and went along with it until the Bulbasaur revieled itself. It yelled and shot out a Razor Leaf!

"Dodge it then use Flame Charge." Tsuki said plainly. Maggy parried the attack and tackled the grass Pokémon. It took the hit but used Synthesis and then Vine Whip, lashing Maggy with percision.

Maggy acted on her own accord and shot a Flame Thrower at Bulbasaur. It topped oved and Maggy landed near it.

"And that new trainers, is how you battle and catch a Pokémon." Prof. Oak said with several kids behind him "I let the Pokémon out to find a trainer with enough skill to catch it. But it stayed in Pallet Town. Now catch it."Nodding Tsuki threw his Level Ball at the Bulbasaur and caught it. Picking up the ball, he gave to to the Prof who shook his head.

"It's yours. Train him. It's what he needs. He was a bit too powerful after fending off a Team Rocket, so he wouldn't be good for a starting trainer. Be well to him. Come student's, it's time you get your starter Pokémon." Prof. Oak said, bringing the students into the Lab. Sending out Skarsy, he flew to a Pokémon Center. He had six Pokémon so he couldn't use Bulbasaur yet.

In the air Tsuki said "I'll name him One. He's the first Pokémon in the Pokédex so why not."



Walking from a secret way down Mt. Silver Tsuki was reading a 'Wanted' poster. Some Smeargle was causing a ruckus for an old man named Daniel and the rest was an address. I guess I'll start there. he thought before walking into the debths of the City of Viridian. It didn't take long mostly since he used his old hoverboard. Within minutes he was already knocking on the door.

"What? Hiyaah!" screamed an old man, hitting Tsuki on the head with a stick "Don't you paint my... oh you're not that damned Smeargle. I suppose you're here for the bounty?" he asked as the younger boy nodded, "I want him out of the city. Now. I'll getcha a cup of Starmie Bucks coffee and a couple ah Pokeballs free oh charge if you do it fast. Now hop to it!" before kicking him out.

"Geez..." Tsuki grumbled as Maggy was giggling with face paint on her. And next to her was no other than Smeargle. Who just happened to hear the conversation and ran as fast as he could. Returning his Magby he jumped on his hoverboard and gave chase.

Zooming off of walls he had almost caught him before he was stopped by a burly man with a tiny girl on his shoulder. "Now watcha think you doin' messin with my lil girls friend eh? You better not be some hired help to clean him out which I know you are obviosly. Go Abomisnow!! And use Wood Hammer!" A huge, snowy menace lay before the young boy you smiled and said "Well this calls for Maggy. Use Flamethrower." before a laughing man. He wasn't laughing when his Pokemon KO'd.

"It's called a super-effective." Tsuki said as he sent out Saur the Ivysaur. The man laughed loud as he sent out his last Pokemon. Charmeleon. Lunging the the frog like Pokemon with a Slash Tsuki said "Use Flash!" as the Ivysaur summoned a millar of light that distracted the Charmeleon long enough for Saur to Tackle it. Sadly the Charmeleon had been using it's Ember, knocking out Saur.

Returing Saur he thought of sending out Blast but he couldn't. He was too powerfull for that Pokemon in the first place. Sighing he sent out Hypno who used Brick Break at the Charmeleon who attacked with a Slash. In a second the 2 hits had KO'd the Charmeleon while hurting Hypno. He returned him and then gave chase once more. Zooming in closer he caught sight and smiled. Sending out the rest of his Pokemon he cornered him as he wrote on somebody's door. The damn annoying trainer he saw earlier. He found out his name but no other than Orange.

"Hey there you Rocket Scum taste the furry fury of my Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Butterfree!" Orange cried as they attacked. Blast went for the Squirtle and shot him with his canon but was zapped by the Pikachu. She zapped his canon which of course was his little weak point. Within moments he was passed out. It was Flyga's turn who used a Sandstorm on the Pikachu and somehow it used Volt Tackle mixed with an Iron Tail.

"What the heck?!" Tsuki exclaimed as he was left with Slash and Maggy. A Weavile and Magby vs a super powered Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and Butterfree. "Use Icebeam on the Pokemon but Pikachu!" he said as the Butterfree used Psychic on Slash. All 2 Pokemon were down. Only Pikachu and Maggy.

"Alrighty Pika use Volt Tackle Iron Tail!!" cried Orange as the Pikachu named Pika charged. Tsuki needed a plan and he thought of one quick. One word.

"Dig!"

Maggy giggled before going in the ground in the nick of time then tackling the powered down Pika, making it faint. Picking up the happy Magby he walked back to the terrified Smeargle. "What to do with you?...."

One week later.

"Wow I can't believe this Pokemon has such talent!" say an overjoyd artist name Ronaldo. "Me and Sir Smear will be wonderfull friends. And I'll keep my end of the bargain. No more graffiting ok Sir Smear?" he asked the the Smeargle jumped happily. Tsuki smiled while drinking a nice cup of coffee. He didn't take the Pokeballs. He was happy with his team as it was. He looked at his empty Heavy Ball though. Only one Pokemon would go in that. Saying farewell he walked out of the new Viridian City Art Gallery which was sponsered by Daniel.

"If it keeps him from my tulips then I guess I'll help. The gallery could help me with retirment money too." Daniel said, patting Tsukis's back "Good thing it was my idea to have him run an Art Gallery." before walking away.

"Can you believe that Maggy?" Tsuki said as Hypno teleported them home to Mt. Silver...



Tier Advancement Mission #3

Wow, you are certainly rising through the ranks aren't you? You've already made it to the last rank in Tier 4! I bet you can't wait to step into Tier 3 huh? Of course you can't, that's why you are here reading this mission because you are just itching to advance. Well then, I guess I should stop rambling on already and hurry up and present you with your mission, huh?

As you may remember from your last two Tier Advancement Missions you had to deal with the wannabes known as Team Ninja, a rather annoying bunch aren't they? Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news but they are causing trouble again, but this time it seems they got a little help. As you know Team Ninja is composed of mainly young men with a ninja fetish going around acting like they are somebody important, so really not much of a threat just an annoyance. Well recently they've joined forces with a shady group composed of former students of the Fighting Dojo Master in Saffron City. These guys, unlike Team Ninja, are highly trained and serious martial artists. Why are they former students you ask? Because they took up the sword and turned against their master, but lost. The banished students joined up with Team Ninja as sell swords, and as a result the new alliance was dubbed Team Samurai.

Now, this new Team Samurai apparently has only one goal, obey whoever can pay the most money, essentially they are now mercenaries that tend to prefer to take up shady jobs, which brings me to your mission. Team Samurai has been hired by an eccentric Pokemon collector who has trusted them with the task of retrieving for him the scale of an extremely rare Dragonite that is said to visit the Whirl Islands once every ten years. What makes this Dragonite so special? Why, it's shiny, and the collector wants its scale more than anything.

Now this doesn't seem like too much of a big deal but the reason why this Dragonite visits the Whirl Islands is to lay a single egg, that's right, the Dragonite makes its nest in the Whirl Islands. Dragonite are also known to be extremely protective of their young though and if anyone were to approach the Pokemon while nesting it would surely attack them, but the problem is this Dragonite is extremely old, and while Dragon Pokemon are known to live a long time, this one already has, I am unsure it would be able to protect its self and its egg.

That is why I want you to go to the Whirl Islands and stop Team Samurai from disturbing the shiny Dragonite's nest. Do anything you can to prevent them from even reaching the nest, which is located deep within the caves. Be warned though that Team Samurai will also stop at nothing to succeed in their own mission and will use any type of trick to stop you, even if it means damaging the environment around you, also you must remember they now have highly trained martial artists on their side, proceed with caution.

Objective:
---Go to the Whirl Islands and protect the shiny Dragonite's nest so it may hatch its egg in peace. Do not let Team Samurai disturb it. Should the Dragonite be angered it could endanger its self and its egg due to its increased age. Send Team Samurai back where they came from.

Opposition:
---Team Samurai, you will cross a minimum of four members, each carries at least three Pokemon on them at all times which their Pokemon now consist of ninja-like and samurai-like Pokemon along with Poison/Bug Types, all fully evolved (Examples include, Shiftry, Ninjask, Gallade, Scizor, Accelgor, etc).
---Their leader remains Takashi, the red scarf wearing ninja teenager, his Pokemon however seem to have gotten even stronger, his team consists of, Dustox, Weezing, Shedinja, Samurott. You most likely will encounter him, I hear he too has learned martial arts and how to weild a sword.

Pokemon:
---You may catch one wild Pokemon in the Whirl Islands which consist of various Water Pokemon and the Zubat line.
---Or you may snag one Pokemon from one of the Team Samurai members, you may not snag from Takashi.
---You may not capture the Dragonite, you are trying to protect it so it may live the rest of its days peacefully, remember?

Rewards:
---Advancement to Tier 3, as an Alpha Snagger.
---Varies from there.

((I want to show off all my Pokemon in this mission so if i can't do that I'll just edit the mission.))
Tsuki was flying high above in the sky, enjoying the sea breeze. On his, Flygon of course. Now you may be asking didn't he give Flyga to his older brother? He, did but he could borrow her every once in a while. She had raised an eyebrow when she saw the Charmander on his team, the new dragon of the team. Maggy being a Magmar now couldn't ride on anymore so it was Flyga giving Tsuki a ride. Alpha the Metang was floating behind them with Charky and Anubis on top of him.

He had gotten a message to go to the Whirl Islands and stop Team Ninja, or Team Samurai as they now called themselves from stealing a scale of an old Dragonite who would lay an egg today. Drako had told him about this special Dragonite. Like the Alpha Dragonite it was shiny. "Maybe those two hooked up this year." Tsuki joked as they finally found the group of islands. Another trainer was walking into the cave when he saw Tsuki. Orange.

Landing he returned his entire team. "What're you doing here Orange?" Tsuki asked, annoyed by the others presence. He had met him when he had bought an evolving item for Slash when at Viridian City then again there when chasing a Smeargle. Except they battled the second time. "Don't you need to head to Pewter City?"

"For your information my rival," Orange stated with a glare. He had gotten less silly by the looks of it ", I went back the second time to get my last gym badge. While you have only two." With that Orange marched into the cave, Raichu following.

"God I hate him." Tsuki said as he followed. A Team Samurai stopped him and sent out a Scizor. He motioned a strike and the bug swung his claw at Tsuki in the form of Slash. The Snagem sent out Charky "Ember!" he called out as the ball of fire pushed the Scizor back. Charky jumped and used Scratch on it as the enemy used another Slash. Backs facing, Charky turned around and shot another Ember at it, knocking it out. 

The samurai wannabe recalled his bug and sent out a Weezing. He smiled as he pushed it forward. Tsuki took a step back but it was too late. Recalling Charky he took cover. The Weezing started to glow as fire burst everywhere with loose energy as he used Explosion. Tsuki hung into a rock that was blocking the fire from reaching him. He covered his ears as they started to ring loudly. Fatigue went into Tsuki as the Team Samurai sent out a Gallade, who promptly used Rock Smash on the rock. Tsuki was pushed back as the Gallade prepared to strike him when the Snagem sent out Alpha, his Metang. Who used Protect luckily to block the attack.

"TakenDown then Psychic!" Tsuki called out as Alpha charged the Gallade onto the ground and let loose a beam of energy down on it. Suffice to say the battle was now over. The grunt returned his Pokemon and high tailed it out of here.

Along the way Tsuki heard a loud snore. He shuddered to think what could be that large by he quickly went on, leaving it in the distance. Two grunts were arguing, obviously lost. Tsuki smiled as asked them "So do I gotta kick both your rears one at a time or at the same time?" Both sneered at him as one sent out a Shiftry and the other, Seviper. Tsuki messed with his Snag a bit, changing his party before he shook his head before sending out Blast and  Saur.

Shifty jumped at Blast and used Razor Leaf. Blast used Rapid Spin and soon the leaves were as good as mulch. He flew around the enemy and grinded in circles around it. Saur used Tackle and knocked over the Seviper. It used Poison Tail and swiftly lashed Saurs side. Luckily he was also a poison type to no status effect. "Ice Beam and Solar Beam combo!" Tsuki called out as they fused their beam attacks and blasted the enemy Pokemon so hard they were knocked out. However Saur and Blast also passed out. Those two attacks had definitely been stronger. Those Saffron guys must've helped a lot.

The grunts sent out an Arbok and a Dewott. Return the two he sent out Skarsy and Cofa, his Skarmory and Cofagrigus. The Arbok spat out a Toxic at Skarsy but she was unfazed, being a Steel type. She jumped high as her win glowed and she slammed it into the cobras face with a Steel Wing! The Dewott took out his Scalops and slashed away at her but Cofa sucked both up.

"Cofa!.... did you eat their Pokemon?" Tsuki asked for a moment. The ghost laughed as spat them out. One creepy moment later the grunts recalled their mummified Pokemon.  They sneered once more as they released a Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan (( keep it simple and just use Lee and Chan as abreviations.))

Lee rolled and swung a leg at Cofa in a Rolling kick. But he was a ghost so it just went through. "Wing Attack on that Lee!" Tsuki said as Skarsy flew into the Hitmonlee. Chan used Fire Punch on Skarsy after and promptly knocked her out. Tsuki thought before saying "Hyper Beam!" Sure, it wouldn't be as effective but the Lee passed out, having took a Super Effective Wing Attack. Chan used Ice Punch and slammed Cofa into a wall. "Astonish then Energy Ball!" Tsuki ordered at Cofa whacked Chan on both sides of his head with his four arms. Having made Chan flinch Tsuki had him use Energy Ball and that he did. Falling over Chan had squiggly circles going around his eye. The grunts returned their Pokemon and ran in another direction. 

Another grunt was walking by, taking the time to eat a candy bar. He was large, bulging in his tight ninja-like uniform. Tsuki couldn't help but laugh a bit. The grunt pointed to the honorary sumo of the Team Samurai pin and he sent out a Makuhita, Blissey, and Miltank. In a girls voice he said "Let your sparkles fly! Attack."

Tsuki choked over himself as he sent out Charky, Maggy, and Flyga. "Fire Punch, and DragonBreath and ember!" Maggy quickly ignited her fist and punched the Makuhita in the leg, tripping it. The Blissey used Softboiled on it and the Makuhita used Mega Punch, sending her back a few feet. Charky and and Flyga sent their fire and dragon attacks on Blissey who passed out from the combined strength. Miltank used Rollout and ran over Flyga. 

"Dragonclaw, Flamethrower, and Scratch!" Tsuki ordered as his Pokemon filled them out. Both dragons swiped at the pink cow and soon it was a BigMac burger! Maggy used Flamethrower on the Blissey but it swiftly used Recover. Tsuki knew with three attacks it'd be finished so he added "Do whatever now! Free form attack!"

Maggy sent a barrage of Thunderpunches, Charky scratched until he broke a claw, and Flyga sat back and took a nap. Super effective. When the trainer ran away Tsuki headed forth again.

Tsuki sat  down to take a break. He had a sip of water from a bottle he had and continued on until he reached the final length. He entered a brightly lit room with the first half ground and the further half all water. Except for a 10 foot by 10 foot circle in the middle. The back wall was covered by a waterfall so you couldn't see past it but there was a grumbling snore, the same one, behind it. Looking to his left he saw a passed out Orange with Takashi walking towards the sleeping Dragonite, egg by her side, to the far left of the ground part of the room, which was huge by the way.

Running over to Takashi he said "Stop right there man. I won't let you disturb that Pokemon."

Takashi played with his red scarf  as he sent out his planned team. Dustox, Weezing, Shedinja, and Samurott. "You know, I gotta thank you Tsuki. Had you not stopped Team Ninja from using those Bug Pokemon supplies I wouldn't have met those rogue karate members in jail." he said, taking out a katana. "We shall do this match as the samurai did in the old days. Pokemon and trainer vs Pokemon and trainer. Let's keep it fair as a four Pokemon restriction." He threw a second one to Tsuki as he waited for him to pick four Pokemon.

Hypno, Slash, Maggy, and Anubis were his choices. A triple battle with one extra. Tsuki caught the katana simply, holding it with both hands. He had done some sword lessons with some of his relatives before but no doubt he was inferior. The snoring stopped and the match began.

Takashi slashed downwards by Tsuki blocked with a horizontal swing. The Shedinja threw Shadow Balls wildly and hit Tsuki's team but it was knocked out by a swift Fire Punch by Maggy. The Dustox used Psychic on Anubis and blew the poor fighting type into a wall. He responded by using a Force Palm on the Samurott. The Samurott took out his blades and soon clashed with te Riolu. Anubis held his ground but was ultimately knocked out by the water types sheer strength. His Wheezing used Tackle on Hypno and did Explosion but the Psychic type had used Protect. 

Takashi took a step back and swug his katana in a circle, tripping Tsuki. He stabbed down, at his neck, but Tsuki rolled out of the way. He swung up and Takashi parried with ease. The Dustox used Psychic on Hypno and Samurott used Hydropump on him as well. Soon he was knocked out. Slash lunged at the big with a IronClaw but the Dustox evaded it and Slash crashed into the floor knocked out as well. Maggy sucked up her breath and shot a chain of fire, in a terrifying stunt. The Dustox was now fried Dustox.

Now Takashi swing his katana once more and made a gash on Tsuki's leg. He cried out in pain as he got up, side of his pants wet red with blood. Maggy saw it as charged Takashi but was blocked by the Samurott. Who also just used Scald, running at her, scalops glowing blue with water chi. He slammed them down as he a d Maggy, the Magmar drew closed. Electricity danced along her palms as she clashed with her foe, using Thunder Punch. In the end Maggy was the one left standing. They both returned their Pokemon as Tsuki punched Takahi in the face. However they kept out Maggy and Shedinja, whom Takashi used a Revive on.

Takashi finally gave in. "Fine Tanakada you win again. For the third time. Hey dude" He said poking Orange with his foot. "Wake up." Shedinja floated ominously by his head. That must've been his first Pokemon, or at least it's shell. In truth the original Pokemon had died and this was the closest thing he had. The trainer Orange finally got up, Raichu beside him. Oh look another starter.

"Let's get out of--" Tsuki said as a loud roar filled the room. The three trainers looked around as a vortex formed in the waterfall, going inwards. A powerful blast of air filled with psychic his pours beside them from the vortex. "Let's get out of here!" Tsuki yelled as the trainers and their starters high tailed it out of there. Tsuki looked back at the Dragonite. It had woken up and was sitting contently beside a newly hatched Dratini. By the looms of it she was used to the roar and probably was on friendly terms with whatever made it or the snoring. Another attack chased at them as te jumped out of the cave, loud voice echoing "Luuuuuuuu!!!"

Tsuki knew that roar had struck out at them to protect those Pokemon. They had woken it up as a large bird exited the cave at and extremely fast speed. All you would have seen was a shadow. Coming from air was the same large bird, but the psychic/air chi attack was covering what it looked like. Tsuki looked at Orange and Takashi. "Thunderbolt, Shadowball, and Flamethrower on three. One... two... three!" Tsuki ordered as their attack combo met with the bird. They had only defended themselves from the attack but te bird returned to the cave.

"What WAS that?" Orange asked as he sent out an Alakazam. "Used your Telekinesis and show us inside that cave." he asked as some water flew above their heads. It showed what was in the waterfall room. A young Dratini was swimming around in the water half while the Dragonite made a content noise. The same noise, only deeper in tone, came past the waterfall. After this Orange shrugged. "I guess we'll never will know. Hey where's Takashi?"

As for the ninja? He had taken off on his Samrott to Olivine. Tsuki shrugged at that. He had made a decent sized under on their population so it'd take a while for them to re-ban together. Tsuki looked at Orange "Probably to learn more karate." he said, flinching with each word. That sword injury hurt a lot.

Orange gave him a piece of paper with his Pokegear number and a note on it. With that he sent out a Pidgioto and and flew away to god knows where. The trainer had other plans in mind he wanted to do.

Tsuki took the note and read it. It said After you get all 8 gym badges from any region, call me. There's this competition in Unova and only the best of the best are crazy enough to do it. -Orange Tsuki put the number on his SNAG and pocketed the note. Returning Maggy he sent out Flyga, jumped on her, and flew home. To the Snagem HQ.
