Masters, A Pokemon RP(CLOSED) Chapter 7: Out of the Woods.

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Ilex Forest is just West of town, about a half-hour's walk, if I remember correctly. My brother and his family live pretty close to the entrance, so we can stop there if anyone needs a break."

Magnus smiled, glad to have a training partner.

"So, would anyone else like to come train with us after we're done here?" Magnus asked politely. "Plenty of Pokemon in the forest, as well."

"Unfortunately I'm gonna have to pass. I'm expecting Lilly to bring me an egg soon enough." Brandon said with a smile.

"I'll go. I'd like to see what Duchess can do." Sylas said. He tapped his fingers on the pokeballs. He had a couple convenient rubber belts on the strap of his backpack, and kept the balls handy there.

"I wouldn't mind meeting your family either."

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Alright..." Magnus said to Sylas as he wanted to come along. "Duncan, Mrs. Deity, we'll let you have some more time together. Thank for having us in your home, ma'am."

Magnus thanked Duncan's mother for her hospitality as he prepared to leave.

"Duncan, we'll see you later, then?" Magnus asked.

 

[Lost In The Void]

"What? Oh ya sure, see ya later man," Duncan watched as the rest of the group left, leaving him with his mother. He sat back down on the couch, "So how is my cousin doing?"

"Farrah is good Duncan, if that's who you mean," his mother said.

"No you know who I really mean mom," Duncan said.

"Bugsy is as he always is, dreadfully obsessed with his work, always out in the forest," Duncan's mother said with a smile, "But how's Houndour, you figure you two can take him on this time?"

"I'm thinking so mom," Duncan said.

"Good it might deflate my sister's superior tone for once. Enough about that though, lets have something to eat," Duncan and his mother went to the dining room to enjoy a quick lunch, where they would catch up.

"I'll go to the forest. I can train my Bella a bit before we go tackle Bugsy. Not that Bella will be very useful against the bug pokemon, but it's good to have everyone at their best. Plus I guess I can still use sleep powder on them, so that will help." Dani said, cheerily. It was good to have others with her, since she had been travelling alone for a while.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Alright then..." Magnus said, leading those who would follow to Ilex Forest. The group of Trainers reached the outskirts of Azalea Town, and entered Ilex forest through a little gate. Once they arrived, the Trainers looked around at the trees and shrubs. The sunlight cast eerie shadows through the barren branches of the trees. Pokemon skittered around in the undergrowth, a lot of Bug-Types that were digging and nesting in the fallen and crumbling dead leaves of the forest floor.

"Here we are..." Magnus said, looking around at the forest. "I've never seen it in the Winter. It's lovely, isn't it?"

 

[sage42]

Brandon bid farewell to the group as he headed to the Pokemon Center.He walked in and handed his poke balls to Nurse Joy. "Can you heal all my pokemon please?" He asked" Oh and a check up on this one." He said tapping Lilly.

The Nurse smiled and nodded "Of course." She said in a cheerful voice as she disappeared into a back room. Brandon sat and waited for the nurse to come back. A few minutes later she walked out and handed back five of his Pokemon. "I take it the other should have the Egg soon?" The Nurse just smiled and nodded. "Yes your Gardevoir should have the Egg any time now. Chansey is taking care of her." Brandon smiled and sat back down.

 

[razer17]

"Oh! Wow! Such a pretty view, with the frosted branches and the leaves on the floor" Dani said to Magnus. Dani had always loved nature, and really appreciated the beauty of it.

Suddenly she looked down in surprise. "Aghh!" There was a Caterpie crawling over her foot, she almost kicked it off before realising what it was. She bent down and gently moved it off her foot. "Oh, just a caterpie" she said, going red in embarrassment.

 

[Caimekaze]

Rhiss snickered.

"This is winter? You honestly call this, winter? Aaaaaaahahahahaha. Man. I'm going to hate summer. I mean, where's the snow?"

As if to emphasise her point, Sneasel began to wipe his forehead with the back of a paw.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Hehe. Don't worry, they're not gonna hurt you." Magnus said to Dani as he looked around at the bare trees and smiled at Dani's embarrassment. "Come on, let's get to training."

"Oh I know that! I was just shocked, I felt something heavy on my foot!" Dani giggled embarrassedly, and then busied herself choosing which pokemon to train with.

"Come on out, Bella. Let's train you up"

 

[sage42]

Spoiler

I feel like crap right now and I'm losing power tomorrow so I won't be able to post until afternoon tomorrow. Sorry everybody.

 

[Sporky111]

"This is a nice place." Sylas said absently, looking around at the scenery. He let Duchess out of her pokeball. The sandshrew rolled onto her back and stretched out, then lazily got back to her feet and looked up at Sylas.

"Time for some training, girl."

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Spoiler: OOC

Gah! Stupid thing not working... Blargle.

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

Spoiler: OOC

Nothing to see here... Pay no attention. Look, a wild Pokemon!

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"Garnet, Salad, Bore, come on out!" Magnus called out his lowest-level Pokemon. "Time to train you up, then. Bore, shake the trees, please."

The large Onix slammed his tail gently, gently for an Onix, anyway, against the trees, knocking loose several Bug-Type Pokemon. A pair of angry Beedrill attacked the Rock-Snake Pokemon, but he quickly dispatched them with a powerful Rock Throw.

"Excellent work! Garnet, you can take out that Exeggcute, can't you?" Garnet nodded, and peppered the Grass-Type Pokemon with a series of Embers. Magnus looked over to Salad, and apologized to her.

"I'm sorry, Sal. You've got a type disadvantage against almost all of these Pokemon... Come on back, girl." Magnus returned his Bellsprout to her pokeball, feeling a bit sorry for the Pokemon. He turned back to Garnet and Bore, and had them continue their training as a pair of Butterfree flew by.

"Garnet, Ember. Bore, Rock Throw." Magnus said to his Pokemon as they attacked the Bug-Types, knocking them out handily. "Forgive me, dear Pokemon. I thank you for your gift in making my Pokemon stronger... May you live long, and have many offspring."

Magnus said this small little blessing after each wild Pokemon he defeated. He said a similar after each kill he made, as well. People often forgot the sacrifices that Pokemon made to Trainers. Without the proper respect paid for each and every one, a person loses his humility, and his place in nature.

 

[Sporky111]

Sylas let Duchess lead the way as she stalked through the undergrowth. She skirted around a tree and pounced on a weedle. It used a string shot to slow her, but by the time she got two hits to it it was finished.

As she stood up, a beedrill swooped down at her and raked it's stinger against her hide. She rolled out of the way, then flung sand at it. It bobbed down to the ground, disoriented. Duchess jumped at it and pinned it to the ground by a wing, then hit it with a poisoned claw. The beedrill struggled away, but was only able to fly awkwardly and collapsed to the ground fairly quickly.

 

[Caimekaze]

Alright then, let's practice a little.

Reaching to her shoulder, Rhiss took Sneasel and placed him on the ground. Cocking his head, Sneasel looked up at her quizzically.

"Haha, I know you haven't really done this, but I think it's time you try to fight another Pokemon. Don't worry, you'll be fine, especially here. Worst comes to worst, you can just use that on them."

Sneasel nodded, then turned to find a Pokemon to battle. As luck would have it, a Paras was scuttling by through the bushes. Looking back to Rhiss for permission, Sneasel pointed at it and made a questioning noise.

"Go for it, Sneasel. Use quick attack!"

The Claw Pokemon became a blur as he moved in to attack the Paras. It tumbled back, before righting itself with an angry clicking noise. It took a swipe at its attacker, but Sneasel easily danced around it and hit it again.

"Now, Sneasel, quick attack again!"

That did the trick. The Paras fell over, unconscious. Grabbing a Pokeball, Rhiss paused just before she threw it. "Uh... This won't work now, will it?"

 

[Mookie_Magnus]

"I suppose it would work, Rhiss." Magnus said to the boy. "It's just, most people don't like to capture Pokemon that they've knocked unconscious... It's a little unsporting to some."

Magnus saw another Paras walking by and turned to Rhiss to show him.

"You want me to teach you?" Magnus asked his friend. "I don't mind, you know. Go ahead and send out Sneasel."
