Onix roared in disapproval at having been wetted. "Bind it Onix, and hurry! You can't take more hits like that one!" Onix snaked around the little Wooper, and wrapped it in the rock-like body making sure to try and keep its mouth covered and pointing away from Onix's face.
Slick turned his head from side to side but wasn't able to take a clear shot at the Onix's face. Beryl was growing worried as its coils wrapped around and around. Soon she couldn't even see her own Pokemon. What am I going to do? Slick is surrounded on all sides! There's no way out...
No...there is a way out.
"Slick, quick!" she called out. "Turn over onto your stomach then aim your Water Gun directly down at the ground!"
Slick started wriggling in the Onix's grasp, sustaining a good amount of damage before his slippery skin finally helped him flip over again. "Ooooo...paaaaahhh!!" Beryl gasped as a surge of water materialized with a sploosh and the little Pokemon shot up toward the ceiling like a rocket.
"Nice one. Onix, bat it out of the sky with your tail!" As the little Wooper shot toward the ceiling, Onix's body roiled and flexed as its massive tail came around to try and knock the little water pokemon like a baseball. (improvised tackle)
The little Wooper in midair was unable to dodge as Onix's tail slammed into the side of his head, but he managed to suck in a deep breath and fire off a Water Gun as he flew over Beryl's head toward the wall.
"Slick, use your momentum to Slam the wall with your tail!" Beryl called out. There was a crunching sound as the Wooper made impact and dropped to the ground. He still had a little bit of fight in him, due to his tail absorbing most of the impact from the wall, but that tail...Beryl winced. I'm not even sure if the Pokemon Center can fix that.
"Let's finish this, Onix! Tackle!" With a final bellow, Onix launches its entire body through the air, directly at the spot where Wooper now sat with its tail hanging limply behind it. About halfway through the attack, Onix opens its mouth to roar at its opponent one lsat time. It looked like this might be the end of the battle . . . .
Onix opening its mouth wide was just the opening Beryl was waiting for. "Now's our chance, Slick! Blast it good!" The Wooper defiantly bubbled up as much water as he could in his cheeks, then fired it head-on at the Onix's lunge.
The water coursed right down Onix's body, and sputtered in its mouth. Ashlee recalled it with a sigh. "Should have expected as much. Oh well, you did great. Congratulations!"
Congrats, you defeated Gym Leader Ashlee and received the Hematite badge, 600p, and Cheeri and Wooper each gain +6 experience
Once you're there you start looking for trainers and after a little searching you find...
Beryl catches the attention of Cynthia, and challenges her to a battle. "I've just come from Slate City after getting my first badge. You know where the next nearest Gyms are?"
"There's a few, actually. If you go Northeast, there's one in Magnolia City; Russetton to the southeast has one; and there's a couple way out to the west, I think, in Crimson and Harlequin cities." Cynthia said and she gestured with her hand in the general direction of each city. "Now about that battle, let's get started. Who's going to lead you off?" she said as she reached for a pokeball.
"Let's go Totodile, start with your water gun!" Totodile started to douse Cheeri with water, making it next to impossible to know what was tears and what was leftover water . . . unless you listened to the noise Cheeri was making. It didn't sound cheerful at all.
OOC: Sorry for lateness, was unusually busy this weekend.
"Hmm, this isn't working, Cheeri...so hit it with your Faint Attack!" The Teddiursa stops crying and an almost malicious expression appears on its face. It then rushes forward like a shadowy blur, and attempts to swipe the Totodile with its paw.
The attack struck Totodile, but only seemed to cause it to fly into a rage before its trainer could respond. It barrelled toward Cheeri with a fury in its eyes.
"Cheeri, try to dodge!" Although the Totodile was quick, Cheeri barely managed to sidestep its first wild charge, then responded with a Scratch of his own. Beryl was watching the Totodile's eyes to see what would happen if it became madder.
"Use it! Keep going!" Totodile's eyes flashed as it appeared to get even angrier than it was before. It charged in for a second pass at Cheeri, its claws out and ready for striking. (continued rage)
Cheeri was thrown back by the Totodile's clawing, and struggled to stand up. He held up his paws and prepared to scratch it again.
"Don't, Cheeri! You'll only make it angrier!" Cheeri looked at Beryl, confused, as the Totodile readied itself for another rageful charge. "Just wait for it to get close," said Beryl. "Then stop it in its tracks with your Lick attack!"
"You've got it! Keep pressing the fight!" Totodile continued to do just that, rampaging in again with claws swiping mercilessly in front of it as it ran. (continued rage)
Cheeri's lick attack managed to connect, but it barely had any effect on the Totodile. A relentless flurry of scratches later, the little Teddiursa fell to the ground.
"Come back," Beryl says, returning Cheeri to his Poke Ball. "You put up a good fight. Now it's your turn, Slick!"
"Woop woop!" the little Pokemon cried, bouncing on his feet as he awaited a command.
"Slick, that Totodile may be raging, but it's taken quite a bit of damage. One solid hit should knock it out. Use your feet like we practiced to gather up a Mud Shot, then kick it at the target!"
That was, in fact, all that needed to be done. The mud smacked Totodile in the face, and ended its battle. Cynthia recalled it, and brought out her Ponyta. "This doesn't look good, but let's start with a flame wheel!" Ponyta charged in at the little Wooper, mane and tail blazing as they wrapped around it to form a wheel that appeared to roll around the pokemon as it ran.
"Slick! Muck up the ground with your Mud Sport attack!" The Wooper started hopping from foot to foot, splattering the wet and slippery substance all over the Ponyta's path (and coating himself in a good amount of mud as well).
The heat of the flame attack dried a lot of the water out of the ground, leaving the area caked in a solid facade of clay. Ponyta trampled over Wooper, then stopped and turned, not realizing it had ran past its opponent while the Wooper was caked in mud. "It's in there somewhere. Tackle anything that moves in that mudpit!" Ponyta readied itself, and watched for movement.
As the Ponyta pounded closer, Slick withdrew his tail back into the mud and popped his head up...right underneath the horse Pokemon's neck. "Now! Fire a Water Gun attack!" A jet of water erupted from the Wooper's mouth as he attempted to give Ponyta a good dousing.
Ponyta is critically hit with the water attack, and Cynthia withdraws it instead of continuing the battle. "That was a good fight. My types were just weak to yours. Nice work!"
Congrats, you defeated Ace Trainer Cynthia! You receive 550p, and Cheeri and Wooper each receive +4 experience

You head southwest to Route 5 (Southeast)...

Cheeri will use Fake Tears upon the first opposing Pokemon coming out.

After some time, a little roundish mud-covered lump popped out from under the clay, and started wagging back and forth in a hypnotic manner.
