Still searching || OPEN

[Lykke]

Aah, the outside... and yet this felt exactly just like another day. The last few days had been so boring. Nothing but ... nothing. She had searched outside everyday, still hoping to find that wild Pokemon that would make her a trainer. She had found none so far. She blamed the season, it was rather cold and the Pokemons in this part of the region preferred to stay away from everything, probably just sleeping somewhere. Both her Pokemon was outside, Ni was searching the bushes, trying to find some kind of hint of a wild Pokemon. At least trying, more than she felt like doing right now. Haneru was out of his Pokeball too, but in his usually collar and line, which she was holding. She wished she didn't have to tie him up like this, but the mild wind that blew would just make him float away - and she wouldn't be able to do a thing about it. It had almost happened once, and for every part she didn't want it to happen away.

Actually, Lye was bored of searching this area over and over again, but this was the farthest away she could get from Cherrygroove City; Route 30. She sometimes tried her luck on Route 29, but there was a lot more Pokemons here. ,,Have you found anything'' she asked as her Nidoran popped its head out of the bush it had searched in. To her great disappointment it just shook its head; and yet she wasn't really surprised. It had been like this for god must know how long.
,,We'll just look in another place then!'' She said, knowing how stupid it sounded; she literally knew the whole Route 30 by now. Still, her and the Nidoran started to run in another direction. Hoping to at least see the shadow of a wild Pokemon.

Tracks of an unidentified pokemon scrawled over the ground was enough initiative for one little bird to scout the area, a piece of cheap glass glued to his face firmly grasped by one wing, while a leek rested within another. Weaving in and out between the shrubs and trees, he was unable to pinpoint the origin, and quite frankly he was beginning to go in circles. After several minutes of doing so, the realization fell upon him of this fact, and without a moments hesitation, the bird turned to his partner; who had been sitting a few lengths away, chewing upon an oran berry. "Watson, what do you make of these tracks?" the bird cooed, pointing at them with his leek to emphasize their apparent importance. "It is perhaps a rabbit pokemon; having two front claws, two back claws I would say it is..."

[/b] "A rat pokemon you say? By golly, it must be a Rattata then. They are quite native to the area. Though, I have yet to see any today.... interesting."[/b] "Actually, I was going to say a Nidor-" "Yet another case solved by the infamous Detective Jacques."[/b] the Farfetch'd cooed, hitting his leek against the ground proudly. "Now come along Watson, I'm sure by now Ren is worried about where we have run off t-- ahhh." Stumbling backwards, the Farfetch'd's eyes momentarily widened in fear towards the sudden shocking appearance of an exploring Nidoran ♀, but soon changed back into a stern observant glare, with a hint of appeal behind it.


"Ah, so I was right Watson, the tracks were of a Ra-" "Nidoran"[/b] the sandshrew whispered, chuckling lightly behind him. "A Nidoran, quite. Mystery of the footprint is officially closed. Now I believe it is time for lunch,"[/b] turning to the Nidoran ♀, the Farfetch'd gave a kindly bow, tucking both his magnifying glass and leek under the same wing. Picking up the Nidoran's paw, Jacques gave his welcoming handshake after already come up from his bow. "My name is Jacques, and that over there is Watson. And we, are detectives,"[/b] he cooed, motioning for the Sandshrew; to which Watson came forward. "Now before that I invite such a fair lady out to lunch with the two of us gentlemen, may I ask kindly of your name?" the bird bowed once again, while the Sandshrew beside him grinned.


Meanwhile, it had occurred to Ren not long in his search that finding a picnic table around these parts of the woods was not likely. Actually, finding food was not much of a possibility either. Groaning lightly as his stomach rumbled its first major needing food warning, the fourteen year old turned to the small bear beside him; who was walking only a few inches away. "Teddi-" she replied in response to the look of dismay he gave her, but with his false assumptions, he deducted that it was more a cry for food then anything. "It's okay, we'll find food soon. I believe that Cherrygrove is somewhere close to here... I hope at least." Being born in the Kanto region, early on exploring of the Johto region was beginning to be a bit troublesome. Though he always had his trusty Poke-device on hand, there were times that he couldn't understand which way was which; and this just happened to be one of these times. "Now if that direction was Route 31, and this is Route 30, then we should be pretty close to the small town. If only Watson and Jacques were here, they could perhaps give me an idea where to go," Ren commented, looking around for any sign of his other two pokemon. When it was deemed hopeless, he couldn't help but give a hungered sigh and attempt once more to decipher where they were.


"Teddiursa... Teddi." Eyes locked into the Poke-device perched in his hands, Ren's mind went passed the sound of Esme whining, the bear pokemon now hidden behind his legs. "Teddiursa..." This time with more meaning and the added tugging of one of the buckles on his boot, it drew Ren's attention momentarily away from the device, his gaze focusing on Esme. "What's going on?" he asked concerned, only to have the little bear point off in some direction to which what looked like to be a girl and her hoppip were searching for something. Hoped glimmered in his eyes- maybe she knew where Cherrygrove was. Tucking the poke-device back into his phanny back before graciously patting the top of Esme's head and picking her up, Ren hurried over to confront the other trainer, hunger moving momentarily into the backdrop of his mind. "Excuse me, miss. May I ask you a couple questions. I'm a bit lost," his tone of voice was very polite, yet needing- that hunger for food starting to come back sooner then later. "See, I'm looking for Cherrygrove city. Perhaps a place to eat... If you could direct me in some type of area of where those things are that would be greatly appreciated." Placing Esme upon his shoulder -quickly the bear pokemon clinging his head like a koala-, Ren waited patiently for some type of answer while giving side glances in silent hope that his two "detectives" would come back soon.

Without noticing it, Ni had moved herself pretty far away from Lye. And now she was kind of unsure how good that was, Lye knew the area pretty good after all, but if she encountered a wild Pokemon who should battle it? Haneru wasn't much of a help. She lifted her head a tasted the air. Wasn't that? Something unfamiliar. That was what met her nose. Before she could make out was it was, -or who it was- her rather big ears caught sounds. A conversation of some kind. She quickly turned and ran towards the sounds. It wasn't some wild Pokemon she was pretty sure, and yet she wanted to check it out. Even wild Pokemon sometimes traveled together.

"-ahhh."

She was rather surprised by the look that met her; A Sandshrew and some kind of weird bird that she hadn't seen before. They started to talk before she could even think of something. Ni just kept silence and looked at them as if they came from the moon. How the hell did those Pokemon get here? They couldn't possible be wild, could they? She snapped out of her thought as the weird bird with the leek suddenly bowed, and before she knew it had he picked up her paw, giving her a handshake.

"My name is Jacques, and that over there is Watson. And we, are detectives,"

D-detectives? Those two? She stared a little at the bird, apparently called Jacques, and the Sandshrew apparently named Watson, with the 'wtf are you doing!?' sort of expression.

"Now before that I invite such a fair lady out to lunch with the two of us gentlemen, may I ask kindly of your name?"

,,Lunch?'' She finally opened her mouth and spoke, still rather surprised by those two. It wasn't the everyday Pidgey and Rattatas you could find here. ,,I think I need to ask my trainer about that first ... I am kind of on a job right now after all... But hi! My name is Ni!'' She added the last with a beam. ,,What are you two doing here? You surely aren't wild Pokemons, right?''

"Excuse me, miss. May I ask you a couple questions. I'm a bit lost,"

,,Eh?'' Lye, also caught a little off-guard; thinking where the hell Ni had gone, turned to look at the person coming up to her. Clearly lost, she could even tell from the look on his face. ,,Yes? You've come to the right then, I guess, I know this area like my right hand.'' She smiled, hoping to be able to help - and not mess like she usually did when helping.

"See, I'm looking for Cherrygrove city. Perhaps a place to eat... If you could direct me in some type of area of where those things are that would be greatly appreciated."

,,The official road to Cherrygrove is that way, but I can show you a shortcut if you want.'' She said and pointed, thought it faded a little when she turned her head to look around. ,,Though I have to find my Pokemon first. She somewhere out there...'' While talking, the Hoppip, still secured to the collar and line, took a interested look at both trainer and Pokemon - or well, he guessed the person was a trainer, most people was after all.

[ren stiles ⋆]

"What are you two doing here? You surely aren't wild Pokemons, right?"

Giving a bit of a quizzical glance in Watson's direction while Watson gave the same towards him, they weren't exactly understanding the question. Did they not just tell her their reason for being there? "Madame, we are detectives. And where there is a case, there are pokemon who crack it. There was clearly a case," Jacques paused, pointing in the direction towards the footprints with his leek "and we were the ones who took it. And solved it might I add." Turning to Watson for a agreement nod, the Sandshrew did so, but at the same time looked to add his own two cents. "Jacques..." "DETECTIVE Jacques Watson, how many times must I point out to you the importance of such a title. You wouldn't call a doctor mister, would you." This time around, Watson rolled his eyes, ending his expression with a half-hearted smirk. "Well, Detective Jacques;" Watson made sure to emphasize the detective part "I believe that our friend Ni here is wondering whether or not we have a human. Perhaps she was looking for wild pokemon for he-" "A human you say Watson?" Jacques chimed in, once again cutting his partner off. "Of course we have a human. Detectives must be paid you know, and trying to get payroll out of wild ninnies are just impossible. Speaking of getting paid, I do believe that we are missing our lunch, you're case shall have to wait till after- " "might I suggest we perhaps look for either of them? Humans do seemed to-" "Yet another splendid idea. Now come along. We musn't keep Ren worrying."

"Yes? You've come to the right then, I guess, I know this area like my right hand."

Relief flooded into his face in copious amounts, eyes lightening at these few words. There was always the chance that she too had been foreign to these woods, and was in need of direction. From the way that she looked around originally it would seem close to the case, but he was happy that in fact she wasn't lost and knew precisely where they were. "Teddi-" the bear upon his head this time around clearly moaned her state of hunger as she still clung tightly to Ren. The teenager could only give her a sympathetic side glance. 'Just hang on a little while longer, food will be on the way in no time.'

"The official road to Cherrygrove is that way, but I can show you a shortcut if you want." "Though I have to find my Pokemon first. She's somewhere out there..."

[/i][/font]


A shortcut- oh that was pure music to his ears. Not only did the other female know of the area around her, but in fact she knew a shortcut! It was a miracle in the making, and sooner then later they were going to be sitting down, enjoying a home-style meal at a quaint little restaurant. Ren could taste the sensations now; it almost made him drool. But of course, not all things could be so easy, and speaking of pokemon, Jacques and Watson were also missing. He was surprised by this fact, normally they were always on time to lunch even with their little side adventures when he let them out of their pokeballs. Perhaps they had gotten into a situation, maybe captured by Team Rocket! Maybe he was just over thinking things. "I guess we're both in the same boat. My Farfetch'd and Sandshrew ran off some where. I would be honored to help you look for your pokemon, an extra set of eyes is always helpful in these types of situations," he offered, giving a bright smile to accentuate his words of assistance. "Teddi- Teddiursa." "Huh, what is it Esme?" Ren asked, trying to look in her general direction. "Teddi-" once again Esme spoke, pointing towards the bushes. Following where the little bear's paw lead, Ren squinted his eyes to see the bush moving. At first he pondered the idea of a wild pokemon, but the moment he saw the tip of that leek break the barrier of shrubs he knew that was Jacques. "Speak of the two."


"Hey Jacques, Watson, over here!" Ren shouted, the two glancing in his direction, but even at his calls the two didn't come at first. He wondered for a moment why that was, though his answer was quickly brought to light when a Nidoran followed in suit behind the two. "Ha, I should've known," the teenager smiled, turning to the other trainer. "Is that perhaps your Nidoran?" he commented, watching as Jacques lead the group out into clear view- except rather then there being three, there was four. Following close behind the Nidoran, it seemed that a wild Ledyba had decided to join the fun, a clear look of joy written on its face. "Hey Jacques, I think you managed to attract another one." Ren called out and the bird looked back to find out what his human was talking about, noticing the Ledbya's new presence. Though rather then scaring it away, the Farfetch'd lead the group to the two humans, humming a little tune all the way. The Ledbya looked appealed. "Now now you two, please stay within my eyesight. Me and umm... Ah..." pausing as the embarrassment began to set in, the Farfetch'd tilted his head at the blush that momentarily brightened Ren's cheeks, the Sandshrew showing the same curiosity. "I'm terribly sorry, I didn't introduce myself or even ask you your name. I'm Florence Stiles, but I prefer to be called Ren. And you?" he asked, trying to sound as polite as he had before, but it didn't seem to come out exactly that way- more so shy.

Ni just looked from one another while they talked, they were kind of weird those two and she quickly left the hope of them being wild long before they started to talk about humans. She wrinkled her nose as she was spoken of as an "ninnie", and she wondered for a second if she really should follow them, but quickly decided that there couldn't be anything wrong about that; she didn't know where Lye was anyway.

"Speak of the two."

,,Niii~ I thought you were lost again!'' Lye sat down to welcome her Pokemon back from the 'unknown' with a few pets, she quickly rose again, just in time to catch Hanerus line before he floated too far away.

"Is that perhaps your Nidoran?"

,,Yes, it is. And that Ledyba..?'' She said, and pointed at the 'newcomer'. ,,Because if it's a wild one, I kind of have to try catch it!''

"I'm terribly sorry, I didn't introduce myself or even ask you your name. I'm Florence Stiles, but I prefer to be called Ren. And you?"

Lye detected the shy tone in his voice the second the words came out, she just smiled back - even a little teasing. ,,My name is Lykke Christana, but please pleasse call me Lye - I don't really like my name very much.'' She added the last in a mumble, as if she more said it to herself and didn't wanted the surroundings to hear it too. ,,Ni? Haneru? Who of you two wanna try?'' She looked at her two Pokemons, even though she knew the answer: there was a faint wind, so Haneru weren't much use. Ni jumped forwards, with the same determined expression as her trainer.

((Ooc: Well there! Crappy post is crappy 8'D))

[ren stiles ⋆]

"My name is Lykke Christana, but please pleasse call me Lye - I don't really like my name very much."

It was an interesting name- Lykke. Had a different tone to it then most names that Ren encountered when meeting others. It had its own style, its own personality. It was unique. Florence was unique too, but not as peculiar as Lykke. Even her nickname rolled a bit off the tongue. "Well it is very nice to meet you Lye," Ren replied, rubbing the back of his neck only to feel a slight poking against his leg. Looking down momentarily, he gazed into the frustrated eyes of Jacques, pausing to think of what the bird wanted. When it finally came to mind, he couldn't feel more like an idiot. "Oh, and I almost forgot. This is Jacques.." immediately the Farfetch'd whacked him in the leg with his leek, eyes becoming hostile; Ren smiled. "Oh right... Detective Jacques the Farfetch'd," the bird stepped forward, bowing gracefully. "This is Watson the Sandshrew," Ren continued and Watson followed Jacques, bowing humorously. "And last but not least this up here is Esme, the Teddiursa." Not following what the others did and rather shying away, Esme pushed her face into the the blonde hair, attempting to hide as it might seem. It didn't really work all that well but whatever made her comfortable was fine by Ren standards.

"And that Ledyba..? Because if it's a wild one, I kind of have to try catch it!"

Motioning his pokemon to step back while looking in the direction of the still gleeful Ledyba, Ren shook his head in answer to her previous question. In a way he was excited to watch another trainer attempt to capture a new pokemon; wanted to be the first to witness the beginning of a new friendship that could last a lifetime; but the roar of his stomach reminded him once more that food was on his top priorities list, and he was sure that Jacques was not the one for patience. "Far- Farfetch'd, Far," squawking out ornery hunger-filled lines, the bird came forward and pushed his handy dandy magnifying glass back into its respective pouch before making an attempt at yanking Ren. The human did not budge, and Jacques was not pleased. "I know, I know. We're all hungry buddy but you need to wait a little bit while longer. I'm sure this battle won't take long," Ren attempted to comfort his pokemon, petting Jacques on the head "look, Lye's Nidoran is already prepared. Just be patient." Giving an clear agitated glance in Ren's direction, Jacques understood the situation for what it was. Currently there was no lunch, and they were in need of this girl's help. Pfft, Jacques didn't need help locating anything. He would find lunch himself. Heading off in the opposite direction of where Ren was watching, grumpily Jacques headed off to find subsistence only to be stopped by Watson. The Sandshrew shook his head and pointed back to where he had come from, motioning for the Farfetch'd to be patient. After careful consideration, and the fact that he hadn't gotten paid for his footprint finding case; Jacques reluctantly to perch himself next to Watson, ruffling his feathers before joining the other three in watching the battle.

Caught up in her own little band number, the Ledyba paraded around the humans, lost in her own follow the leader game. Expressing her enjoyment for the fun time she had joining the group she had curiously followed, it didn't occur to her at first that she was being addressed, nor that the humans were even talking altogether. Only when she heard the Nidoran come close did she notice that determined eager eyes glared at her speckled torso, while another human stood strongly behind. Frustrated by the break up of the group and the loss of her overjoyed bliss, the Ledyba turned in the direction of the Nidoran; knowing a challenge when she saw it, and addressing it accordingly. Giving one last quick glance to the pokemon and human that watched from the sidelines, meeting the Nidoran's fierce glance with her own, the ladybug pokemon took to the skies, quick-flapping wings radiating yellow waves right towards the rabbit pokemon.

"Oh, and I almost forgot. This is Jacques.." ... "Oh right... Detective Jacques the Farfetch'd," ... "This is Watson the Sandshrew," ... "And last but not least this up here is Esme, the Teddiursa."

The smiled at his Pokemons, a Pokemon detective? What the heaven was that about? She found the thought kind of funny, but decided not to ask, the bird looked like it somehow cherished the title. ,,This is Haneru,'' she said, pointing at her Hoppip still floating around her in a collar and a line. ,,And Nidoran is called Ni.'' She continued her friendly smile, the Farfetch'd seemed rather forward, as it knew exactly what it wanted and how. While the Teddiursa looked almost scared somehow. She gave a last more polite nod before turning to the Ledyba.

What in the big world was she to do? She carefully bit her underlip, thinking. Ni knew ... what? No attacks, in a way she hated to battle more with Ni than Haneru; not because Ni didn't know any moves... Or mabye exactly because of that. She was so weak, Ni could easily get hurt in a battle. Haneru had at least some training, if it wasn't because of that wind... She gave a short side glance at Haneru. He looked as if he was just as ready to jump into the battle if necessary. That was good, even though she doubted he could do much.

"I know, I know. We're all hungry buddy but you need to wait a little bit while longer. I'm sure this battle won't take long,"

She wasn't sure herself. If this battle would be quick, would it probably be because the Ledyba was strong enough to knock Ni out in a minute. She didn't say anything, the words wasn't directed to her so she could -to her rare luck- just pretend she didn't hear anything. On the other hand, if they expected a big clash of a battle they would be disappointed.

"look, Lye's Nidoran is already prepared. Just be patient."

The Ledyba looked rather angry with being challenge, or maybe just because they had noticed it. Lye wasn't sure and she didn't really care right now. Please luck, I kind of need you right now she thought, hoping that today would turn out just a little better than the many other days and battles. The Ledyba soared to above with it wings buzzing, and from there it started to send down some kind of yellow waves. Lye guessed it must be a Supersonic, but her lack of experience with bug Pokemon made her unsure. ,,Ni! Try dodge that, get out of the way!'' She gave her Pokemon the first command; and yet she wasn't sure if it was the right one. Ni did as she was told and quickly jumped out of the way. Barely. Lye was head was spinning madly with thought, how in the world did they get that thing down?! Their normal strategy was to run into the Pokemon and then hope Ni somehow could poisoned it - and yet that was never a promise of catching it. Ni just continued to run around, avoiding the waves.

[ren stiles ⋆]

Watching silently as Lye took on the Ledyba, Ren was a bit confused by her technique. Quirking his head to the right in a comical manner as did his Sandshrew and Farfetch'd, the trainer questioned whether or not the Nidoran could possibly jump the height; the Ledyba wasn't too high off the ground. The most that he was kind of surprised about was the fact that Lye hadn't launched a poison sting either at the bug pokemon, was Ni that really low a level. "Teddiur-rsa." Giving a half frown to the sound of Esme saddened voice, Ren couldn't help but want to offer his assistance. But would that constitute as fair? Glancing over to his other two pokemon, Jacques's distaste in waiting still marked clear on his face, a sigh exited out of his mouth when he turned back to the battle. "Come on Lye! You can do it!" he shouted in encouragement, while his stomach grumbled as if to refrain him from adding more. If only there was a way to lower the Ledyba closer to the ground to get a better range, or help Nidoran lift into the air; Ren was almost tempted to offer his Farfetch'd. Perhaps even Haneru would do better if she'd let him go. If he floated away Jacques would sure go after him, maybe. Fixating his eyes now mainly back towards the battle, Ren gave a hoping smile and refrained from any negativity. If needed be, he would intervene. It was clear she needed a Pokemon that could battle to help the ones that couldn't, and this Ledyba was just the thing that could help. Especially since it could fly.

Watching from above as the Nidoran continuously dodged her attack, she couldn't help but giggle as the rabbit pokemon ran in circles. It almost looked fun in a way. But this was a battle; and the Ledyba couldn't allow herself to be distracted, not in the very least. Seeing that the supersonic attack wasn't working, the yellow waves soon dissipated allowing Ni temporary relief, but that help was short-lived. Flying slightly higher before tucking in her wings, the bug pokemon dived straight towards the circling Nidoran, looking to land a strong tackle in hopes to end this battle quickly. Not letting up as the Ledyba lost altitude, it was almost painful to watch as the bug pokemon make a practical direct hit with Ni. Slamming into the side of the Nidoran with a large amount of force, the Ledyba landed on the ground, withdrawing to see the damage she had done. Pausing to prepare herself for one last blow, a dizziness started to engulf her head.


Closing her eyes momentarily to find herself feeling sick, the Ledyba subconsciously started spinning around. Not understanding what was going on or why she felt so ill, she blinked her eyes in an attempt to regain her composure. It worked slightly, but still she deemed it hopeless to hit the air so high again, the battle would have to be on the ground from now on. It allowed for a more direct attack for either sides, but it proved to be more troublesome then the air. "Ledy- Ledy," cringing in pain to understand that it had been poison that was causing the illness. She would have to finish this battle soon. Quivering her antennas and standing her ground, once again she let out a wave of yellow rings in an attempt to confuse the Nidoran. It would only take one strong hit to knock out the pokemon, but could she get it in time before the poison got worse?

((Ooc: This is going to be a short and half-crappy post, because my internet is slow and that always makes me a little unconsecrated x_X.))

Luck. Apparently she had some somewhere that chose to touch her, just right now. At first when the Ledyba had hit Ni, had she thought that was it. But as the Pokemon showed sign of dizziness she knew what had happened; it had been poisoned by the contact with Ni. Now it couldn't get very high into the air, and if she just could make time pass without Ni being hit by anything dangerous, poison would take it down for sure. She hesitated a little, she had someone watching; she had to do it somewhat quickly. It made her a little nervous, having someone watching; and even a trainer. Lye didn't think of herself as a trainer, at all. She was so bad a fighting. Which reminded her... ,,Raaa!'' She quickly snapped back to the battle, Ni had been hit by one of the yellow waves. ,,Ni!'' she was SO close to run to her Pokemon, but she stopped herself. She still had a chance... Somehow.

Ni looked more like a drunk Nidoran than anything else right now, the whole world from her point of view was upside down and a big mess of colours and sounds. She couldn't make out any shape, not to mention where her opponent was. She caught a glimpse of something red, and ran for it. But before she hit anything, her own leg came in the way and she ended up rolling on the ground. ,,NI!'' A shout this time, her trainer wasn't it? She sharpened her big ears, hoping to make out more sounds from her. ,,...can you make out where I am?'' Ni sat up, trying to figure where the voice came from. Not with much luck.
Lye shot a quick thought to Haneru, she wasn't allowed to change Pokemon in the middle of a battle like this? Right? She would do it if Nis life and major health depended on it, but they weren't that far into the battle - yet.

To a large extent, the Ledyba found herself once again in an amusing situation. Having finally struck the Nidoran cleanly with a burst of supersonic, she silently giggled while the rabbit pokemon began to wander around, its glances all over the place. Sadly though her happiness was short lived and soon the realization of the progressing poison made itself known once more with an antagonizing pain. Cringing to the ground the bug pokemon grumbled, her stomach upset while the toxins continued their onslaught. Despite having a playful fun nature, the Ledyba was torn; there was no time to play games, and no time to fool around. If she were to win this battle, then she was going to have to finish Ni off quick; being classified as small, the venom was spreading faster then it would a larger pokemon making time very precious. Grasping at her yellow underside whilst her back legs positioned her into a defensive position, the determined Ledyba eyed the Nidoran cautiously; making sure to confirm its continuous confusion. When having done so, the slit of her back opened up, allowing thin wings to burst out and lift her a meer couple inches in the air. Hovering gently above the ground, she watched the Nidoran's movements, waiting for her to get a little bit closer. When the rabbit pokemon spun itself into the range that the Ledyba planned her attack, the bug pokemon reared herself back before heading right in the direction of Ni. Without much trouble she careened into the side of the Nidoran, more then likely sending it back a couple steps while confusing it further. Having formulated the attack to be weak, the Ledyba backed off momentarily, the Nidoran close enough to hit with a finishing move. She had to land this next attack, time was running out.


Once again the poison attacked her system, the pokemon heaving heavily as it circulated further. Taking longer compared to before to pass, the progression of the toxin proved its purpose, the pain far greater then when it had been when originally inflicted. Still the Ledyba endured it. After the hurt subsided, leaving but her unsettled stomach, the gloved-looking leg in front had begun to glow a faint yellow, the power of the surroundings being absorbed for one attack. The time it took to charge for such a simple attack felt like minutes, maybe even hours, rather then the seconds it took. She could feel herself begin to grow tired, her eyes drooping every once in a while. If this attack could land, if she could manage to get even one strong punch in, then this battle would be over. Just by watching the poor Nidoran wander around gave the Ledyba an overwhelming feeling of victory. Looking to her attack in anticipation, the bug pokemon urged for its completion and moments later she received that wish. Glowing brightly, the Ledyba was now prepared to unleash her most powerful attack- Comet Punch.


It was not at all to her disadvantage that Ni had managed to dwell further away from where originally the two were to face off. Just one hit, one hit was all it would take to knock out the one pokemon. But as the Ledyba took a last glance around it became an obvious fact that she had no where to run. Not counting the possibility of others, there were four other pokemon that could match her in a battle and take her down too easily with just one attack. The odds had been pitted against her from the start; had she not seen that? Regardless, the Ledyba turned to face the Nidoran, her eyes shining with an excited yet determined glare. Even if she couldn't beat them all, she would beat this one. "Ledy-Ledy." With an incredible blast of speed her wings cut through the air like a knife; her body accelerating with a direct hit in her sites. A smile crossed her face; her arm winded back; her eyes narrowed; it was all over, all over. Yet it wasn't. Pupils widened; mouth slightly gaped; the attack had stopped. Centimeters separated the glove from Ni's confused face, the yellow glow dimming as the Ledyba lost its coordination. "Ledy..." speaking softly, her vision continued its initial blur, lids closing more frequently. Spinning around in an ill-manned fashion, the Ledyba crashed to the ground, lying shell down. If only she had been a little faster, a little more precise, but all was well, "..ba." Staring up to the open sky blankly, the Ledyba smiled before shutting her eyes, succumbing to the poison and falling unconscious.
