The force of the peck caused Oddish to be knocked onto its side and roll a fair distance. It was able to right itself shortly, but the little pokemon must have been upset internally; it belched a stream of acid up at the Taillow.
The peck lands true, driving Oddish a bit into the ground. After extracting itself, it appeared to be weakened signifigantly and tried to defend itself with a shower of spores that drifted on the wind id hypnotic patterns. (Sleep powder, and hp reddish)
The girl runs forwards and scoops up the pokeball, settling it on her hip without a second thought. She goes to pick up Taillow and check it for damage.
Bruised. Not fun. She quickly returns it to its pokeball.
Vulpix in taken by surprise again at the sudden change, and its disorientation doesn't help, It stumbles through the flames right into the electric attack, yelping and firing more embers about itself trying to hit Pikachu. (first real attack, hp green)
Vulpix sprayed more embers, concentrating in the direction of Pikachu. The heat of the attack warped the lightning enough that it missed the fire fox's tongue, but instead blasted it square in the chest. (hp yellow)
The heat again warped the path of the electricity just enough that Vulpix took the blast on its flank as it dodged around. It stopped in its tracks for a moment. (hp red, paralyzed)
"Taillow, Focus! Don't allow it to get to you!"
A hard request. Taillow Focuses in order to get past the pain, trying to come around for another attack.
My helpdesk should you need me.
"Focus, Taillow! You can do it! Peck it!"
The Taillow appears to shake its head and try to dive in towards the plant to get another peck in.
My helpdesk should you need me.
The trainer was alreayd throwing a ball. "Go pokeball!"
My helpdesk should you need me.
Congrats! You caught an Oddish! Taillow receives +3 experience!
Bruised. Not fun. She quickly returns it to its pokeball.
My helpdesk should you need me.
And then proceeds to throw Abra out.
"Abra, I choose you!"
The Abra just kind of sits there and stares at Vulpix.
My helpdesk should you need me.
Vulpix looks at Abra with a sense of curiosity, then wanders up close and proceeds to start whipping its tail back and forth.
"Abra, poke it!"
Such a powerful attack. Even though Abra seems a little hypnotized and off balance from watching the tail whip, it does come out to... Poke Vulpix.
My helpdesk should you need me.
The pokemon tilts its head before teleporting. Behind the Vulpix. And then pokes it again.
My helpdesk should you need me.
My helpdesk should you need me.
"Abra, return! Go, Pikachu! Shock it in its confusion!"
The pikachu comes out of its ball flying and charging a thundershock to jolt the Vulpix with.
My helpdesk should you need me.
There's a loud call of the pokemon's name as it fires for the Vulpix's mouth, aiming for its tongue.
My helpdesk should you need me.
Jade holds onto a pokeball nervously. But she doesn't throw it just yet. "Stay out of its range and keep shocking it, it's almost done!"
Pikachu tries, it really does. Jumping backwards, slightly off balance on that leg, and sending out another powerful shock for Vulpix's head.
My helpdesk should you need me.
A second one is pitched to fix the problem.
My helpdesk should you need me.
. . . . *ding*
Congrats! You caught a Vulpix! Abra and Pikachu each gain +2 experience
"That looks like a nasty burn... We should get you to the Center before we keep going. I don't want you hurting."
Even though Pikachu protested, Jade brought the pokemon back to the ball. Then, picking up her new Vulpix, she heads back to town.
My helpdesk should you need me.
