Ace Trainer Steve says "hmmm... a Torchic... ok Bulbasaur you know how to handle those..." with that the Bulbasaur starts running towards Phoenix, intent on Tackling the little bird. (Tackle)
"Phoenix dodge it and show it the sharp end of one of your claws!"
The Torchic was quick enough to dodge the on coming attack and responded with a quick, SCRATCH. Darien was worried that this may not end well for his new torchic but was not going to give up just yet.
"Phoenix don't let it intimidate you, give it another swift strike with your talons!" (SCRATCH)
Phoenix was unfortunately already intimidated by the plant dinosaur's growl, however it mustered whatever courage it could and hesitantly delivered another attack with it's talons.
silence_dais:
The bulbasaur takes another scratch, this time on one of its hunches. In response it launchs another Seed, intending to Leech all the energy out of the little bird... (Leech Seed)

But it was too late, the seed had attached itself to the small fire type bird. Darien was worried, the battle was definitely not going his way and needed a way out. Calling back the Torchic, he sadly sent out Slim.
"Slim, use Leer and make it your meanest!" (LEER)
OOC: Does the Leach Seed still in affect for the pokemon even if I returned it to it's pokeball in this game or is it like in the actual games?
occ: It's like the games, once the pokemon returns to its ball the Leech Seed is removed...
Quick Battle Update:

The bulbasaur takes the leer and seems to be quite shaken by it. It retailates by charging at Slim at full speed trying to Tackle him... (Tackle)

Slim didn't have enough time to react to the attack and unfortunately was taken aback hard when it hit. Darien realized this was the best opportunity for his pokemon to strike.
"Slim quick wrap around it while you have the chance!" (WRAP)
Once again the small Dratini wrapped itself around the neck of the grass type, and squeezed as hard as it could.
silence_dais:
Wrapped around the neck of the bulbasuar, Slim began to squeeze. And squeeze. And squeeze. As the bulbasuar began to panic, it mutely tried to Growl at the little Dratini, in a desperate attempt to break free. (Growl)

It's throw was good enough due to Slim's relaxing it's grip temporarily to regain some strength. Tumbling off, Darien was a little disappointed that his pokemon was so close but that didnt' mean the battle was finished yet.
"Slim get as close as you can and see if you can wrap yourself around it's neck again!" (WRAP)
silence_dais:
The little Dratini is able to get around the neck of the bulbasuar once more and it squeezes tight. So tight that the opposing bulbasuar starts to turn an even darker shade of blue. Finally the Bulbasuar collapses and faints...
Congratulations you've won. The experience gained will be shown in the next full update which is currently in progress...

Derick smiles, deciding to keep King tucked away for now after deciding to train him towards Double Kick, shrinking the pokeball and putting it on his belt.
He then smiles, "Alright, onward to the southern Bad... lands..." he suddenly realizes he has no idea which direction that is. He sighs a bit, "Come on Iron, lets see which way to go," he starts, opening up his PokeTools Map Function, it can't tell him exactly where it is, but it might give him a hint.
He isn't sure, but starts heading west after checking. Kind of looking around(for Items) as he goes.

Just a note, I should have 4 pokeballs now if the lady at the start gave me 5.
Before Beryl can react, Scout bounds up to the feeding Teddiursa, who doesn't appear to notice him at first. "Shrew, shrew?" Scout asks. He gestures toward the tree. Beryl thinks he's asking if the Teddiursa would be willing to share some honey.
Ike catches sight of a Nidoran in the distance while passing through Route 1. As he calls out his Magikarp he says, "Time for our first battle, Styx! Let's see what you've got!"
Styx replies with a pathetic "Karp. Karp."
"Let's see here... basic water Pokémon moves..." Ike mumbles to himself as he prepares his attack. "Oh, I know! Styx, hose that Nidoran down with Water Gun!"
"Magikarp!" Styx flops around weakly for a moment more, but then creates a splash great enough to soak the unsuspecting Nidoran (and Ike). The attack does nothing more than that, however, and only irritates Styx's opponent. Unable to think of anything to say, Ike merely groans and facepalms in embarrassment.
Rai sees the Pokemon trainer and cant stop his enthusiasm. "Hey! I'm Rai! I see you're a Pokemon trainer too. What Pokemon do you have? Do you have any badges? Where's the nearest gym from here?" asks Rai in a rush hoping to get information on the nearest gym, particularly its location.
After Glenn responds to Rai's barrage of questions he summons his recently caught Weedle. "How about a Pokemon battle!" says Rai eagerly, challenging Glenn to a Pokemon battle.
------------
Before the battle Rai bends down to Weedle who crawls up his arm to get some last minute coaching:
"I know you can do this Weedle! I know that Tododile over there looks big and tough but you have two things he doesn't! First, you know this forest inside and out. Use it to your advantage! Second, you have more heart than any other Pokemon I know. When he hits you, be tough and return his blow with one of your own! Stay strong and stay active! Let's go!"
Weedle gets a determined expression on its face and bolts off of Rai's arm and faces the opposing Tododile defiantly.
------------
OOC: The experience for capturing Starly hasn't been posted and my player pokemon page lacks Starly and Weedle cards. Starly will work toward Wing Attack.
Darien shook the Ace Trainer's hand and returned his pokemon, he decided it was best to stop looking for trouble and make for town. (Heading West towards town)
Gabe quickly takes out his camera and snaps a few pictures of the Ace Trainer on her Ponyta. Than releases Dude from his pokeball to let him get some fresh air.
"Dude, look at all this grass. haha. Grass. Speaking of which..."
Gabe pulls another 'smoke' out and lights it up as Dude climbs up onto his shoulder to take in the great smell and smoke.
As the two of you step off the dock you see a young man waiting for you. He steps forward and introduces himself... "Hi, I'm one of Professor Pear's assistants. He sent me out here to give you two your Pokedexs and Starter Pokemon." He holds out a pair Pokedexs and Pokeballs to each of you. You each receive...
and
The assistant says to you two, "Ok I think you're all set. If you have any questions or concerns, I'll be working in the lab." With that he turns and walks the short distance to the lab.
Fritz thanks the assistant with a tip of his hat and smiles as if to say, "give my regards to the Professor." (He's never met the Professor, of course, but for the time being his regards will have to do -- there's so much else to do and hardly enough time to do it in!)
As he strolls along the path leading away from Pear's lab, he spins the Poke Ball between his index fingers. The Poke Ball (or rather, the Poke Ball product family) is the extent of Fritz's knowledge on Pokemon, and even then, four years have passed since his resignation from Silph Co.'s product differentation team. With a final spin of the Ball he brings his thumb down on the contact and releases the Remoraid inside.
"Poulpentrique." He nods his head towards the fish with an air of nonchalance. "You look positively smashing, m'dear."
And then, nothing happens. And in the absence of anything happening, Fritz and Poulpentrique realize -- independently of each other -- that the two are embroiled in a Sᴛᴀʀɪɴɢ Cᴏɴᴛᴇsᴛ. The contest ends 73 seconds after it began (during which time no fewer than three people stop to watch the spectacle), with Fritz simultaneously blinking and remembering that fish cannot blink. He has every mind to say "that's not very sporting of you," but, with the consideration that Poulpentrique is a lady, he simply bows with a smile and a hearty laugh.
The two continue on their way, with Fritz holding Poulpentrique across his arms (she weighed more than he had imagined, but as before, he couldn't bring himself to say "why, how heavy you are!" to a lady). They stop twenty meters from an oak tree with a pronounced knot in the center of its trunk. Fritz lines up his outstretched arm with Poulpentrique's line of sight and points both of them at the knot; to his joy, Poulpentrique understands the unspoken command and shoots a water gun in the direction of the knot.
I say "in the direction of the knot" to downplay the Remoraid's aim: the stream of water was strong (a couple thousand PSI?), but a good three inches off the mark. Fritz, more impressed than unimpressed, smiles as he says, "No worries! We'll get to learning how to lock on to that target eventually!" (To verify that Poulpentrique actually could get to learning such a thing, he flips open his Pokedex and brings up Remoraid's entry.)
Continuing his stroll with Poulpentrique, he finds himself still in a gamesome mood from the staring contest and decides to look for trainers to battle.
[DICE] 100 [/DICE]
While doing so, he bumps into a little girl with a Pikachu and tries to strike up a conversation. "Hullo! Another new trainer?"
So...what about non-amphibious water Pokemon outside of water...? Can I just brush over it and pretend that there's always a body of water nearby?
Josh walks into the Pokemon Center and presents Saber for recovery. After learning the recovery procedure can take several hours, he spends the afternoon asking around town with regards to a number of subjects--where he could find a map of Ageos, what town(s) official Pokemon Racing Federation tracks are located in or nearby, information on the myths and lore of Ageos, and information on habitats of certain Pokemon.
Dice Roller1 D100 rolled

There should be a reasonable degree of success due to the amount of time Josh is spending in this research. The Pokemon in question are Shinx, Ponyta, Absol, Skarmory, and Chinchou, Ponyta being the highest priority for now. Additionally, the myth he's interested in should be pretty obvious from his backstory. If the NPCs in the area do not know directly about these subjects, Josh would ask where to go to find such information.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
"Phoenix dodge it and show it the sharp end of one of your claws!"
The Torchic was quick enough to dodge the on coming attack and responded with a quick, SCRATCH. Darien was worried that this may not end well for his new torchic but was not going to give up just yet.

Fritz thanks the assistant with a tip of his hat and smiles as if to say, "give my regards to the Professor." (He's never met the Professor, of course, but for the time being his regards will have to do -- there's so much else to do and hardly enough time to do it in!)
As he strolls along the path leading away from Pear's lab, he spins the Poke Ball between his index fingers. The Poke Ball (or rather, the Poke Ball product family) is the extent of Fritz's knowledge on Pokemon, and even then, four years have passed since his resignation from Silph Co.'s product differentation team. With a final spin of the Ball he brings his thumb down on the contact and releases the Remoraid inside.
"Poulpentrique." He nods his head towards the fish with an air of nonchalance. "You look positively smashing, m'dear."
And then, nothing happens. And in the absence of anything happening, Fritz and Poulpentrique realize -- independently of each other -- that the two are embroiled in a Sᴛᴀʀɪɴɢ Cᴏɴᴛᴇsᴛ. The contest ends 73 seconds after it began (during which time no fewer than three people stop to watch the spectacle), with Fritz simultaneously blinking and remembering that fish cannot blink. He has every mind to say "that's not very sporting of you," but, with the consideration that Poulpentrique is a lady, he simply bows with a smile and a hearty laugh.
The two continue on their way, with Fritz holding Poulpentrique across his arms (she weighed more than he had imagined, but as before, he couldn't bring himself to say "why, how heavy you are!" to a lady). They stop twenty meters from an oak tree with a pronounced knot in the center of its trunk. Fritz lines up his outstretched arm with Poulpentrique's line of sight and points both of them at the knot; to his joy, Poulpentrique understands the unspoken command and shoots a water gun in the direction of the knot.
I say "in the direction of the knot" to downplay the Remoraid's aim: the stream of water was strong (a couple thousand PSI?), but a good three inches off the mark. Fritz, more impressed than unimpressed, smiles as he says, "No worries! We'll get to learning how to lock on to that target eventually!" (To verify that Poulpentrique actually could get to learning such a thing, he flips open his Pokedex and brings up Remoraid's entry.)
Continuing his stroll with Poulpentrique, he finds himself still in a gamesome mood from the staring contest and decides to look for trainers to battle.

While doing so, he bumps into a little girl with a Pikachu and tries to strike up a conversation. "Hullo! Another new trainer?"
