Are you ready to Rock! *dumcrash* (Mod)

[Tyler Silverman]

I will very much attempt to catch a Pokemon since I've failed both the last two! LOL!

"This is why I caught Tremor, my second capture... and of course you, Circe... though, I clearly had help" Tyler smiled at the fox Pokemon who trotted alongside him, the reason for her not being in Tyler's arms obviously.

"Shell! Shellder Shell!" Shelly squeaked from a bit of a harness Tyler wore on his chest, a damp pouch almost that kept the Water-type hydrated. Naturally she'd last far longer than say a Magikarp, but without water she'd suffer so it was a bit of a neccessity, especially when taking her to the volcano.

"Wonder what we'll find here today, Shelly?" Ty chuckled at his "baby", who smiled up at him, wiggling around on the spot and her curious eyes glancing all over the place; Circe herself just trotting along, very at home in this environment.

Glancing around the rocky area, Ty noted something odd but familar.... not directly, but from tales from Kaera. Apparently she caught Butthead on this Volcano, but in a cave.... and there was one right there. Now, Tyler was pretty interested in fossil Pokemon, they just seemed interesting... though Butthead definatly was one with attitude problems.

"Come on girls, let's check it out and see if Kae was telling the truth" he said, walking to the cave mouth then heading inside.

Party: Quagsire, Ferrothorn, Vulpix, Shellder, Driftloon and Heracross

And there, just in front of you, was the entrance of the cave. Though, as much as you wanted to go through, there was this weird wall made of very, very, very sharp objects that resembled rocks.

All of them were offensively jutting out, as if made to keep wanderers out. Maybe it was made by the local wild life? Maybe some crazed trainer that you can hear laughing from the inside commanded his Rhyperior to do so and thus hindering other trainers such as yourself?

Who knows?

Choices:

>Break through
>Go for another route
>stay there

[Tyler Silverman]

"Hm.... I'm pretty sure Kae would've mentioned this had it been here last time... Titan, Moku, let's work on this!" Tyler released his two evolved Pokemon, Shelly sort of gurgling at them in greeting.

"Okay you two, let's break this down and see if Kae's memory was right.... Moku, Earthquake it then Titan, Power Whip!" Ty said, retreating to a safe distance with the rest of his team as Titan gave Moku his space, the Water/Ground unleashing a devasting Earthquake into the barrier; before Titan sauntered up (as much as one could saunter when your 'legs' were spiked vines), smashing into the barrier with a powerful Power Whip. Ty was sure that'd take it down!

[Lazarus]

As such, the crumbling wall of rocks and spikes had lost to the power of an Earthquake and a Power Whip that lashed at it. Breaking into small pieces, a trail seemed to have been left that curved towards the left of the cave. On the right though, there are signs of battles and the clanging of something could be heard.

Also, be careful on the stuff that was leaking around the cave. I'm pretty sure that when something smells rotten, it would be best not to step on them.

Choices:

>Go to the left
>Stay
>Go to the right
>Step on the rotten object

[Tyler Silverman]

Tyler's mouth was a grim slash as he surveyed the scene... something had definatly gone down here, but what? Definatly not something friendly.

"Watch your step all..." he warned quietly, moving along carefully as he headed for the right, tucking the left trail in the back of his mind for now, he was curious to the clanging: clanging was always familar to him, growing up in the Ironworks and all. His three walking and one carried Pokemon all took extra care to avoid the..... unknown icky substance apparently rotting all over the place, Ty hushing Shelly a little when she fidgeted too much, lest she get noisy and blow the element of surprise... if they even had that.

"Forest! Power Whip!"

A female voice screeched as you came closer. The voice was pretty high and could've been nice but hell, the pitch of that banshee was more painful than an Explouds booming sounds.

The massive Tangrowth had followed through with his Trainer's orders as she lashed at an incoming Kabutops. The Kabutops had readied her Scythes to cut down the thing but was caught surprise as the Power Whip managed to smack it dead on the head.

"Pokeball go!"

The girl said again and had successfully captured the Kabutops as she belted the pokeball. Then she saw you. "Who are you?" She asked bluntly, wondering why there was someone else in the cave after she made that rock wall with her Rhyperior.

Female Trainer

[Tyler Silverman]

Tyler was both elated and annoyed: the Kaputops that quickly fell to the other trainer suggested this might be the place Kae had mentioned after all. The girl glanced at him and didn't look pleased, asking who he was.

"Tyler, just exploring the place after my friend was here before.... at least, I think it was here. But... you don't seem very concerned about being trapped so... I guess you were the one who closed off the entrance?" Ty replied as he approached a bit, his Pokemon in two. Circe had an irratated expression, she didn't like this girl one bit for whatever reason. While he couldn't be certain, Ty only knew of one entrance, hence his guess she had blocked the place off...

"Congratulations of the capture, by the way, was hoping to make one or two myself"

When Summer, obviously the name of the girl you just met, heard your name, she gave an indifferent wave of her hand. Mostly ignoring you, getting a vibe that you weren't exactly an important person.

"Oh, so you're one of them huh?"

Summer said, after watching the Vulpix with greed and disdain in her eyes. Oh yeah, she was totally gonna steal your pokemon if you gave her the chance.

"How'd you get that Vulpix of yours?"

Summer asked, more so interested on your Vulpix rather than...anything else really. Hell, she was already twitching to her extra set of pokeballs and was getting ready to catch it.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

"Oh, well, found her up on the Mountain where she was ill, she tried to.... maul my face off, and one thing led to another and I caught her. She's great isn't she?" Tyler said proudly, giving the girl bit of a irrated look when she waved him off as "one of those". She hadn't answered his 'accusation' of her blocking the cave mouth either.

Circe was backing up to Tyler's feet, sort of growling at the girl and pretty much getting the vibe Tyler didn't fully understand yet. Moku was relatively chill but Titan didn't seem to get along with "Forest" either, given their more similar sizes, something Titan hadn't found since he evolved.

[Lazarus]

- Mod Post -

"Meh, yours isn't evolved yet anyway. I'll be coming back for it when it does."

The girl, Summer, said as she sauntered away from the room. Forest following her trail as the two exited the room, leaving you alone in a relatively empty room.

Then you heard something scream like a monster.

The wall to your right suddenly burst into pieces as a Rampaging Rampardos slammed through it. Behind him was another Rampardos that was fending off a charging Bastiodon.

The Rampardos seemed familiar, somewhat.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

"Hm, I guess I'll see you then..." Ty replied a bit blandly... what, she thought he'd just trade dear Circe away? Let her think what she wanted, Circe was a friend forever as far as he was concerned. Speaking of old friends, he was completely flabberghasted when a Ramparados burst through the wall, followed by another that was fending off the shield-faced Pokemon he recognised as a Bastidon... and it's Ramp. opponent?

It looked exactly like Butthead.

"Butthead?! Wha.... M-Moku, help him! Use Muddy Water on that Bastidon!" Ty ordered after a few moments collecting his reeling senses. Butthead! Here! After what happened he never thought he'd see that pain-in-the-butt again, but he was back, seemingly! Moku at first almost didn't react, given "Help Butthead" wasn't something he ever expected to hear, but rather than argue he just rolled with it, launching his move against the hulking Rock/Steel type.

However, the first bursting in had startled the on edge Circe quite badly, who reacted instantly and aggressively with a Confuse Ray right at it; she didn't want to be caught by surprise but at this point the Ramparados had only been a "bystander".

[dice=10]

Muddy Water has a 30% chance to lower accuracy if it hits and I roll a 1-3.

And then, everything just seemed to stop. Mostly because there was this really eerie looking Xatu that just loved freaking people out but we all know time didn't really stop. Regardless, the battle then waged on. None of the aforementioned attacks had hit, for some reason. Every one completely safe except for that one Ramparados that was still fighting against the Bastiodon.

Through the other wall, another Bastiodon appeared, creating a cave in right in front of you and would more or less block you from their sight. Best you leave now and survive rather than keep helping and get crushed by a boulder.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

Ty stumbled back from the rubble, parially hidden behind it and outside of the battler's notice currently. Ty almost cussed, remembering Shelly who was starting to get upset from all the noise and confusion.

"It's okay, shhhhhh it's alright.... guys, I know we don't like him but.... he doesn't quite deserve this, so go help. Moku, try another Muddy Water and a Yawn on the original Bastidon, Titan.... I need you to take on the second with Circe" Tyler ordered, knowing Butthead was an unapprecitive douchebag but... he was KAE'S douchebag, and he owed her that. How could he live with himself if he left her Pokemon her to die like this?

Peering around his cover to command and trying to settle Shelly as best he could, his team went to work. Moku went after the first Bastidon that was probably still fighting Butthead, attempting to use Muddy Water a second time.

Circe, meanwhile, took the lead and tried to Confuse Ray the other Bastidon when it wasn't looking, Titan meanwhile Cursing briefly to raise his stats before trying to tackle and bind up the large shield-faced dinosaur with a Power Whip.

[dice=10]

Muddy Water has 30% chance to lower accuarcy; occurs if I get 1-3 and my attack hits.

As you launched out attacks, all four of the pokemon were too busy to notice as they were using Head Smash and Iron Heads against each other, trying to up one another. As the battle kept going, the Muddy Water had managed to shove the two Rampardos off their feet and sent them swimming towards the wall. The Bastiodon though just blocked it with their faces, as if it didn't bother them.

All of them got their accuracy lowered though, there was a crap load of mud there.

The four of them had just got up and were still going at it, not really caring about what you did and more on what they wanted to destroy before going after you.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

Tyler hadn't expected Muddy Water to work that way, regardless, the Ramp pair were probably peeved at him. That really really sucked.

"Moku, get between the Bastidon and Earthquake. Titan, Power Whip on the first, then the other if you can. Circe.... try Growl to make them less damaging then Inferno the second that turned up, and let's hope we can hit it" Ty suggested, his Pokemon a bit more relaxed going about it since their Bastidon targets were pre-occupied. However, since they were moving around so much battling Butthead and the other Ramparados, it was entirely possible some "friendly fire" might occur.

[Lazarus]

- Mod Post -

Then out of bloody nowhere the ceiling collapses as a huge Aggron plummets down, making its own earthquake appear just from that height. It was enough that all the others were momentarily stunned, allowing all the attacks to hit.

The Bastiodon weathered the Power Whip, having a retartedly strong defense helped with that. The other wasn't as lucky. The Inferno had managed to connect and inflict a Burn on it. It was getting dangerous for the other Bastiodon and had tried to run away.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

This was starting to get chaotic. For self-defense purposes Tyler released his Heracross and Driftloon as well, quickly ordering Hindenburg to use Shadow Ball upon the Bastidon that was still fighting Butthead. Tyler allowed the other one to retreat, he just wanted it gone, not truly defeated.

Releasing a new plethora of orders, with Lance (Heracross) on defense-watch, the rest of his team ganged up on the remaining Basiton, leaving the new Aggron be for the moment... but if it attacked they wouldn't hesitate to strike back.

As Butthead and the Bastidon smashed their heads/faces together, Titan used the oppotunity to try and tangle it's back legs with Power Whip. Circe meanwhile attacked from the other side with a Flamethrower, while Moku attacked the rear with Water Gun. As for Hindenburg.... he just spammed Shadow Ball, not caring if it hit Butthead, the Bastidon, or any of his teammates really.

[dice=10]

Flamethrower has a 10% chance to cause a burn if it hits

[Lazarus]

Well, all the attacks had managed to hit. It hit something. Something that just wasn't your target due to surmounting chaos in the battle. The Bastiodon and Butthead were still alive and kicking, er--butting heads rather.

Then a stray Shadow Ball smashed the Aggron on the side.

The damage was pitiful but it was enough to send the Aggron a bloody rampage. Swinging his arms around like a mad man, the monster took out the Rampardos and the Bastiodon to another room via cracking the walls again.

And all alone that was left in the chaos of battle was you, your team and teeny weeny Aron crying for its dad.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

Tyler's team had to scamper to saftey as the Aggron went ballistic, hurling both fighters through walls and following them, probably beating them up something fierce.... poor Butthe- aww he'd survive and he deserved to be taken down a peg. Returning Hindenburg to his ball with a glare Ty noted the tiny cries of a little Aron left behind, the creature looking like it was related to the Aggron that had just left. Directing his team to stay back, Tyler himself approached slowly, only Shelly coming along in her carry-sack.

"Hey there little one.... it's okay, you don't need to be scared... all the fighting's over now I think, everything's alright, we won't hurt you. It'll be ok" Ty tried to keep the little one calm, not wanting to scare it or sending it fleeing, it hadn't done anything wrong. Shelly did her best to poke herself out the top of her sack as Ty got lower on his knees to be less intimidating, the female Water-type looking at the Aron like it was the most curious thing in the whole world.

[Lazarus]

- Mod Post -

<"Really?">

The little Aron looked up and asked the thing that was trying to comfort him. He was just an infant barely out of his egg and his father a new dad. He wanted his Dad to see him evolve into a Lairon. Get in fights with him and all those son and dad things other pokemon do.

<"RRRROOOOAAA!!!">

A MASSIVE roar from a different cave came through as an Aggron broke through the cave, missing one of his horns and an entire plate on his shoulder almost turned to scrap metal. It rushed towards the baby Aron and hugged it tight. Then it saw you.

It gave its thanks by dropping something akin to 'Soft Sand' on the floor. The Bastiodon apparently had one.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

"Oh, ah.... thank you. Thanks for taking care of those other two as well they might've been.... more than I could handle" Tyler said, lightly scooping up the Soft Sand into a hand as he backed up a little, giving something akin to a respectful bow. He rather liked it when stuff helped him rather than tried to kill him. Moving back to his team and away from the parent and child, Tyler looked them over, they were still in good shape.

"You all did great guys... maybe we should try and find out what that trail from earlier was, youthink?" he suggested, still aware of the odd trail from earlier, they could backtrack and try and see where it led. The group took their leave from the little Steel/Rock family, but if the trail had dissappeared, they couldn't follow it and would be pretty stumped.

[Lazarus]

And then there was a Bisharp waiting for you.

Just next to the exit and in its hand was a small pokeball on his hands, it looked to be a great pokeball and on his side was a little Darumaka. Or whatever the base evolution of that huge monster thing.

It challenged you to a 1 on 1 battle. The Prize? One of the losers pokemon. The Bisharp even prepared the little pokemon and the great ball as his little bet against yours as it pointed on a pokeball, that probably had a good pokemon on it.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

Tyler stopped dead in his tracks. No, it couldn't be.... not again!

"You. You brought down two levels of that Mansion on my head and left me with the mess!" Ty growled, only refraining from some rather strong language due Shelly's presence.

If he understood the douchebag Pokemon correctly, it was a gambling a Pokemon it had gotten from whoknewwhere against one of Tyler's own; Lance's Pokeball. Ty grimaced, but when Titan and Circe tried to advance wanting to kick its ass themselves, he motioned them back.

"No... I'll play his little game. Lance, he wants you so you're up. Let's just show him how good you really are...

Aerial Ace then Brick Break!" Ty commanded, well aware that giving this douchebag the first move would bite him in the ass, so not even giving the Bisharp the chance. Lance raced foward, it's wings buzzing to hurl it into the air to strike the Bisharp with an undodgable move, before swinging back a fist ready to go to town on the Dark/Steel type. If it wanted to play hardball, Ty would play hardball...

[Lazarus]

- Mod Post -

<"Heh. Let's see what you've got!">

The Bisharp laughed as he brought up his razor blades up, blocking the Aerial Ace with a Slash of his own. The clash between limbs rang around as the Bisharp kept his posture, not budging an inch as the attacks collided.

And for a moment, he looked deep into the Heracross' eyes. Then the Bisharp suddenly fell to the ground, as if it had lost all energy to even stand. The Brick Break missing by a hair's width before the Bisharp came back up. It had used Faint Attack and slinked behind you in that moment of confusion!

It held back attacking though as it leap backwards. Standing still and looking like it was tensing up, metal bits began to assimilate on the Bisharps body as it used Iron Defense, sharply raising its Defense Stat as it waited for you to come to him.

- Mod post -

[Tyler Silverman]

"Alright then..... Fury Attack, Megahorn then another Brick Break!"

<"You're not nearly going to get away as easily this time..."> Lance growled, using his wings to launched himself towards the Bisharp as he used the 3-move "combo"; a Fury Attack first to the left, a Megahorn towards the right and then attempting to Brick Break again, right to the gut. If things got bad, he'd try and use his wings to launch himself back far faster than he could naturally run.

[dice=4]

Fury Attack hits the number of the dice roll + 1, if it connects at all.[rand=652871734671968342879666376449815930980998134832305863266133942713]

<"We'll see about that.">

The Bisharp recited as he crouched the moment the Heracross launched towards him. When the thing came closer, the Bisharp released an explosion of Dark-Energy on his left blade before jumping towards the Heracross, his body twisting and cracking his Night Slash against the Fury Swipes. The Force was enough to render both attacks useless and flip the Bisharp once more.

And then it hit him like a truck. The Megahorn struck him on the side, the massive swelling of pain like a volcano erupting there. But the Bisharp smiled. Just as the attack connected and the Bisharp was still at point blank of the Heracross, Metal Burst came into play.

The assimilated attack exploding at point blank, sending the Bisharp skidding towards the ground and coughing out something. Probably Mercury. Needless to say, the Brick Break missed. Using what distance he had, the Bisharp had quickly flown into Swords Dance, using what little time he had to up his attack.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

<"You've got some tricks... but I'm not nearly as fragile as Hindenburg"> Lance grimaced as he slid to a stop, smarting all over. His own Megahorn had been sent back and it hurt like anything, Lance down to about half his health... but at least the Bisharp was doing little better.

"Night Slash, then you know what to do!" Tyler suggested, Heracross rushing back towards the stat-upping Bisharp on foot now, ready to use the largely-ineffective Dark move on the Dark/Steel.... but this was all part of the plan. If the Heracross suspected a nasty hit coming, but one could he weather (not another high-power Metal Burst that's for sure), he would allow the hit then attempt to use Counter at point-blank, sending it right back into the Bisharp's gut.

[Lazarus]

- Mod Post -

The Bisharp only raised his blades in anticipation of the attack. The enemy was flying towards him and was dumb enough to use a Dark Type against someone of his type.

It smirked.

It sped forward at the last moment, narrowly dodging the Night Slash that would have struck his head as the blades on his arms glowed with a strange energy. The Bisharp slashed with an X towards the Heracross, Guillotine at the ready.

- Mod Post -

[Tyler Silverman]

Lance had made an error. A Gullotine was coming right at him and he had almost no time to dodge it... if he lost, he'd belong to this... THING. He couldn't allow that but what could he do?!

"Vul!" Circe barked as she unleashed a Flamethrower into the Bisharp's side, sending it's aim off enough for an relatively exhausted Lance to be spared the 1HKO.

<"Using a 1HKO move against an opponent you were already beating? Coward!"> she barked at the Steel/Dark, unleashing another Flamethrower despite Tyler's brief objections; he hadn't ordered her in but he wasn't sure if he was meant to withdraw her or not...

[dice=10]

- Mod Post -

<"SON OF A BITCH!">

The Bisharp screamed as the Flamethrower launched at him. He didn't care as he barreled straight towards the Heracross, probably getting both of them hit with the Flamethrower since the flamethrower spreads.


<"TO ME!">

The Bisharp roared as a bunch of Sandshrews popped out of the ground and helped him up. He was about to retreat, getting all he could along with the Great Ball that was still in his hands.

So close, he was about to get away, but then Butthead appeared and just maimed the Bisharp and sent him rolling down a very, very, very steep ledge.

And there was a small clink somewhere.
