Dont Tell Me Im Less Than My Freedom! [MOD/CLOSED]

[Raize Phoenix]

Capture Thread <3

"We've made such great improvement..." Rai said aloud, looking at the pokemon around him. Alastair, the ambipom stood at his right, marching along. Justin, the playful aipom had come so far since the beginning of he & Rai's journey. He'd learned thunder & double hit. He'd have had his first performance in a contest. He'd even evolved & decided to change his name to Alastair. Since evolving he's learned Brick Break & Aerial Ace as well! There was so much that he and Rai had gone through. Nothing could break them apart.

To Rai's left was Dante, the typhlosion who's heart has always been more warm than laza is hot. Rai remembered going to the volcano for his very first capture & got lucky enough to run across a cyndaquil. Dante, the amazingly powered pokemon had given his all since before capture. He'd been using high level skills like inferno since birth! No one else would fit better on his team. He'd been through many battles with him & in each one he'd learn something new. The ending result of Dante becoming stronger had made Rai even more happy.

The other pokeballs rested on Rai's sides, contained Ashura the glalie, Oni the absol, and Faust the duskull. Rai's team was pulling together nicely since his break from capturing & exploring. Now he was ready to keep moving. Into the inner forest he would go! Dante & Alastair at his side, ready to destroy whatever was to dare come near Rai.

<"C'mon, we need to get out of here.">

A Scyther hissed at his companion, a Sandslash who had an injured leg. The two seemed to be at worse for wear as they traversed through the rotten trees and the copious amounts of dead branches along the way.

The festering fungi didn't help matters any and the terrain was hard to traverse in. Regardless of those factors, the Scyther still carried his teammate with him, trying to get away from the thing that was chasing them.

"Whats that?" Rai asked aloud, hearing some foot steps over the dead branches & such. Alastair & Dante went on high alert, thinking it may be something terrible. Who knows, it could be a rapist poke! Whatever it was, Rai would be oblivious as usual & dart off in its direction to see what it was. Of course Alastair & Dante would Dart right after.

"Whats up?" Rai asked, looking in the direction to see a sandslash & scyther coming his way. "Whats going on?" He asked seeing the sandslash was injured. Though he was still out of the way, he would make sure that he did what he could to help. "Whats wrong with sandslash?" He asked, as Dante & Alastair came to his side, having caught up with him. They held out their hands & Alastair's two tails, trying to get them to halt & explain. "I just want to help!" Rai told them, hoping they would stop & tell him something.

<"Oh! Great! Warriors that aren't from the Master!">

The Scyther cheered as he turned around to see his partner bleeding profusely.

<"Shander...Shander wake up! We can be saved!">

The Scyther buzzed, holding his friend with the blunt back of his blades. He hugged his partner, bracing himself against the spikes and tried to carry him over towards your side. Slowly, they managed.

But a howl signified danger, and danger did come.

<"RUN!"> The Scyther roared at you and your team as it turned around to raise its blades against a red Scizor.

"Well, something must be coming..." Rai said, watching Alastair & Dante give agreeing nods. Since Rai didnt exactly understand them, his own pokemon would have to translate them. Rai watched them barely make it to his side & frowned at the sight of hurt sandslash. "We have to help." He said, looking back to see the brave scyther trying to stall off a random scizor! "Hey, I cant let you fight! Youre hurt." Rai snapped at scyther.

Dante let out a roar, telling the scyther to step aside. Ambipom would nod & move in front of the scyther. "I hate to be pushy, but you've got no choice buddy." Rai joked with a smile at the scyther. He pulled out from his bag, an oran berry & potion. "Dante, Alastair, do what you can. We have to help these two." He told the pokemon, seeing them nod with understanding.

"And back to you big guy." He looked at the sandslash. "You've got no choice either. Please try to eat this oran berry." He said with a soft & gentle tone of voice, still calm & relaxed. He had full faith in his evolved pokemon. He was sure they'd be of great help. "Here." He offered the oran berry to the sandslash & sprayed the potion on the pokemon's body. Hopefully it would do some kind of healing.

"We'll hold him off until Rai can give us more commands I suppose." alastair said to his companion. "Hmph. I suggest we just try to win this, it looks serious." He noted. Ambipom would nod & Dante smirked, having come to the agreement to attempt to kick the scizor's ass! Dante let out a roar, to release a mighty flamethrower toward the scizor! His partner Alastair would launch multiple volts of electricity at the scizor as well, using thunder!

Flame thrower might burn if it lands, if I roll 1
[dice=10]
Thunder may paralyze if it lands, if I roll 1-3
[dice=10]

<"Che. Scythe, we both know you want to come back.">

The Scizor continued even as the attacks had started to fly at him. It then raised its pincers and a faint trail of light formed on him. With an unholy amount of speed, the Scizor used Agility then followed with a Quick Attack.

Zipping through the flames and electricity, the Scizor raised his arms and barreled towards the fallen Sandslash, unallowing him to even get the treatment he needs and sending him flying over the trees and away.

Turning around, the Scizor pinched his pincers menacingly, as if challenging the Scyther to a one on one.

"Hey! Whats your problem!" Rai ran over to the sandslash, as Flow & Ashura burst from their pokeballs. "Eelektross!" Flow cried out, standing behind Ra, to make sure the the scizor didnt attempt to aim for Rai. The glalie hovered next to Flow, giving back up & reinforcement. "Are you alright?" Rai asked, holding the berry & potion, kneeling down to the pokemon.

"Here." He quickly sprayed the pokemon all over with the potion to hopefully heal it a bit. "Now." H struggled for a second to rip the berry apart by hand. He would let out a slight groan of relief, having split it in half. "Please eat this." He placed the pieces near the sandslah, rubbing it with his other hand. "Dont worry, we'll protect you if we can." He told the sandslash.

"Scyther what should we do?" Dante asked the green bladed pokemon, still ready at any moment to attack. "If you fight one on one, we'll just be here to back you up." Alastair added to Dante's speech. The glalie & eelektross would nod in agreement. "We're only here to help." The glalie informed. "But if you want, we'll just let you handle it." The eelektross added on.

<"I'm okay...Just...just make sure not to let...Scythe get hurt...">

Shander, the Sandslash breathed as he puked out a few things from his diet. The pool of pain was increasing by the second as he propped himself up to the tree, the small effects of the potion helping a bit.

<"Please...let us go...Scythe and I...we need to get back to our family...">

Shander breathed as he saw the Scyther and Scizor duking it out. <"That Scizor...he's Scythe's brother...he's been corrupted and Scythe wants to end it now...The reason he couldn't was because of me..."> The Sandslash hacked some more, in tune with the clanging of hammers and swords in the horizon.

Scythe on the other hand was going all out against the Scizor. The clanging of blades left no room for him to talk as the Scizor was getting an edge in.

There was no chance of capturing.

"I understand." Rai noted, making out bits of what the pokemon was saying. Ashura would return to Rai's side & attempt translation, helping Rai understand so much better. "Here." Rai sprayed his extra spare potion, attempting to heal more of the pokemon's wounds. "Dante & Alastair are going to do their best to help your friend out." Ashura assured the hurt sandslash. "My friend here, Rai, only wants to help you. Youre free to go when your in better condition & if Scythe needs help, Dante & Alastair are gonna try to help him out, before anyone gets hurt any more." Ashura briefed.

Spraying the potion, Rai looked back at the fighting scizor & scyther..."Brother huh?" He questioned mentally, thinking that internal clashes were never to good. "Well, we'll just sit tight until your friend wins this." Rai said with a soft & gentle tone. Though he was full of doubt, he had strong hope and faith in the scythers' ability. He would sit tight, near the sandslash, rubbing him even more. Whether he captured them or not, right now his main concern would be to make sure that the pokemon were safe.

<"Adron! Stop this! Can't you see that the Master is only controlling you?!">

Scythe roared as he blocked the incoming attack with his blades, the force putting a crack on them as he pushed back. His eyes were bloodshot and so were the Scizors but it barely visible with how fast they were going.

The Scizor stayed silent as it went in for the kill. The Scyther rushed in, wanting to deal with it as well. A sudden clash for power and the Scizor and Scyther were smacked into a tree out of your sight. But the echoing shrieks were warning enough that...casualties were bound to happen.

Shander stood frozen at the deathly wail that permeated the air. He snapped back to attention when he heard the roar of a Houndoom in the distance. <"We have to get out of here! That was Daemon! Hurry!"> Shander urged as he tried to limp through the forest, knowing exactly where to go and ignorant of you either going with him or not.

Choices:
> Face The Danger
> Go with Shander
> Run away

"This is getting ugly." Rai muttered, his smile would slowly fade to black. Though he would keep his smile visible it became less easy to notice. The sandslash would begin to take off, with out his friend. Rai was concerned for them both, but was unable to do much for anyone at the time. "Ashura guard our hurt friend here." Rai said with a sot & calm tone. The glalie hovered closer, being cautious as to what was aroung them.

"Flow, you too." Rai added, as she hovered over to him, keeping the sandslash covered on both sides. Letting out a roar, Dante & Alastair would return to Rai's sides. They wanted to keep himself safe, despite them not being able do anything about the scyther. They would protect him with their all, like he would do the same. Hearing a heavy roar in the distance, Rai stood firm.

"You can get outta here if you want, I'll just catch up with you if you leave." Rai told the fully evolved sandslash. "Dante, Alastair. Get ready." He said. His choice was clear. Save the sandslash & help both scyther and sandslash.

[Lazarus]

Brave choice, young adventurer. May this be in your favor.

As you decided to stay behind, protecting the Sandslash being your duty. A black haired Houndoom burst through the forest, his bone white horns radiating and dripping with some kind of fluid as he was flanked with a Pidgeotto and a Parasect.

The trio had looked at you with disdain in his eyes and it seems to be planning to attack!

- Mod Post -

[Raize Phoenix]

"Oh fiddle sticks." Rai muttered, noticing the trio appear. It really was about to get ugly. He would have to fight, as much as he didnt want to. Using force wasnt exactly what he liked to do, but he was sure that it would have to be used now. "Alastair, Ashura, Dante." He said with a calm & coll, collected sweep through his hair. The three pokemon jumped to his front, leaving Flow right in front out of things. Since she was still pretty much a baby compared to the others, Rai didnt want to rush her into anything.

Dante let out a roar, challenging the parasect to a battle. "Ambi!" Alastair looked at the houndoom. He knew his brick break may possibly come in handy against the hound. Though his grin would show, his overall facial expression would show his readiness for battle. "Glalie." Ashura said, floating in front of the bird pokemon. It wasnt sure what exactly was going on, but it knew that Rai was depending on him.

"Ashura, use ice beam on pidgeotto!" Rai swiftly commanded, having the glalie fire a concentrated beam of ice at the bird. "Dante, flamethrower on parasect!" Rai wanted to have this go faster, thus unfortunately using type advantages to help out. "Alastair use brick break!" Rai told his ambipom to move in, throwing both glowing tails at the houndoom. "Flow, use charge. Your assistance may be needed." He gave a sideline command to Flow. The eelektross would then gather energy, ready to launch an attack.

The Pokemon didn't even waste a time with their introductions. The Houndoom had quickly fired off his own Flame Thrower, breaking down the Ice Beam that the Glaile had fired against his own teammate. The Pidgeotto was now relatively safe as the Houndoom charged forward, up close and personal was where he wanted it before blasting an Inferno at the nearest thing. That being the Glaile.

The Pidgeotto, now safe had screamed her wings off at deflecting the fire attack with her own series of Gusts. It was enough to at least let the Parasect dodge but the attack had left her tired to even fire off another set at the opponents while the bug spread out Poison Powder and Stun Powder all over the enemy's field to try and cripple their power.

[Raize Phoenix]

The other team seemed to be playing defensive. Thats natural Rai supposed, seeing as how he launched quite a few moves at them. Flamethrower was countered be a mere couple of gusts. Well this bird pokemon must be stronger than Rai thought at first. The ice attack was even countered by a pokemon that wasnt being targeted by it, and now an up close inferno was heading towards the poor pokemon! Time for quick thinking and planning.

"Dante, take the inferno! Ashura, try a blizzard to push the powder attacks away & freeze them! Alastair use a brick break on houndoom!" Rai called out to his team. He then gave a sideline command to the eelektross to fire a zap canon at the hounddom or pidgeotto. Dante jumped infront of Ashura, quickly taking the flames straight on. Luckily he want burnt at all. Letting out a roar, he was ready for the next set of commands. "Dante, use a swift!" Raid added onto the commands. Before Dante did so, his other pokemon acted accordingly.

Ashura launched a masive blizzard at the incoming powder attacks, also having it head towards the opposing team. Alastair, while somewhat close, launched his two tails at the houndoom. The two fists at each end would glow white & hopefully smack the houndoom! While Ashura kept up the blizzard, Dante shot out a large flaring blast of swift at the pidgeotto & houndoom. The swift would hopefully have the element surprise, and hide itself in the blizzard. Meanwhile, Flow had finished charging up & launched a powerful zap canon at the pidgeotto.

[Lazarus]

OOC: Shit, sorry for the long ass wait.

-----

The Houndoom was at a loss for what to do. One thing, he was commanding his own team to take charge of the entire fight but everything seemed to freeze as the almost mutilated body of a Scyther sent him careening through the forest, caught by surprise at the last moment of a Scyther deranged and out for blood as the Parasect and Pidgeotto were assaulted without fear.

With the flourish of attacks mauling them all, the Parasect had bravely placed itself in front of all the attacks and had more or less fainted itself before being launched away towards the back of the forest. The Pidgeotto, despite having a meat shield, was also affected by the many disastrous attacks and was chained down to the ground by the frozen wings it had.

Choices:

>Catch The Bird!
>Leave them there and follow the Sandslash!

[Raize Phoenix]

Tossing a ball in epic fashion, Rai smiled seeing the pokemon defeated. "Good job!" He huggled his FE pokemon, making sure they understood they were appreciated. Another bird pokemon, Rai needed that. Maybe it'd be great to have yet another air riding creature of the sky. Seeing the sandslash get up and wander off, Rai followed behind, making sure that it wouldnt be attacked. To o one's surprise, Dante, Alastair, Ashura, and Flow all followed him to provide protection.

You caught a Pidgeotto, it is female and has the Tangled Feet ability.

----

As you followed through the Sandslash, the mouse like creature noticed and allowed you to follow him. Several twists and turns were made before anything really got done but you and your group had finally reached a sort trap door once the disguise was fixed and all.

<"I ask that you no longer follow me. Behind here lies a great secret. Maybe if you come back in another time, you may prove useful to the cause.">

The Sandslash commented before the trap seal burst open and a Haunter dragged the Sandslash in and slammed the doorway close. There wasn't much you could do, what with the confusion arising. Was there a poke-war going around? Were pokemon getting hurt more than what was made to be believed? Questions could boggle your mind but they can be reserved for another time. Best you just leave and take a break from all this.
