Lan grinned slightly when he felt his claws rake against the skin of the Caterpie. He could just tell that, with these two previous blows, the Caterpie was already suffering from weakness. This battle was as good as his. Or at least, that's what he hoped would happen. But that would soon prove to be more difficult than he would have hoped. The Caterpie bounded back very quickly once more with yet another String Shot attack. The Charmander's arm was helplessly wrapped by the sticky substance, and he was no longer capable of slashing and clawing to his escape. Not only that, but now he was moving about half the speed of the Caterpie. Now THAT was embarrassing. He soon felt the Caterpie's head collide with his knees, and he fell downwards and onto the ground again. He managed to avoid landing on his face, but instead he fell onto his side, stomach and head facing towards the Caterpie. Sure, the Bug's attacks were really weak and were doing next to nothing to him...but if he continued to hammer away while he was stuck like this, he'd be finished off in no time! He struggled against the bindings more, but once again, to no avail. He had to resort to using his tail flame once more. While still laying on the ground, he tried to move his tail flame against the webbing on his arm, trying to weaken it enough so that he could pull free. All the while, he was at the Caterpie's mercy.

Caterpie was happy to see the Charmander was useless again, although he was slowly melting the webs away with his tail which meant that he would be able to attack soon enough. This made Caterpie sad and very nervous as an attacking Lan was the last thing he wanted. He could use the web again but there was nothing to web up... His tail? Nope, it'd melt too quickly. His head? What'd be the point of that? His legs? Nope not worth it... He just decided not to use his web this turn and just tackle the pokemon instead. He crawled towards the Charmander and attempted to tackle him on his side once more. He hoped to do enough damage to finish the pokemon off, it took forever but it was something. Hopefully enough of these would take him out... Hopefully... ::Caterpie:: (Almost very weak) Hit by nothing. Used Tackle on Charmander

Lan continued to work at his bindings, but the tail was taking its slow, sweet time melting the sticky webbing around his arm. Without a way to muscle his way out of it, he had to wait until the webbing melted completely. And that could take a while. In the meantime, he was completely at the Caterpie's mercy. If it weren't for the sticky string that was binding his mouth, he would have let out a yelp of pain as the Tackle attack hit him again. He was starting to feel weak from the constant hammerings the Caterpie was giving him, but until he was able to pull free from the webbing, he would just have to endure the attack. For now, there was still nothing he could do but just wait and take another of the Caterpie's attacks. ::Charmander:: Hit by Tackle! Still trying to melt the web Still tied up and unable to attack! Starting to weaken!

Caterpie was happy to see that the web had taken much longer to melt that the Charmander had initially anticipated or wished for. This was good, this was very good... He continued to charge Lan in an attempt to hit him again with a tackle and further the damage. He could tell that Lan had been weakened and thus it was definitely in his favor to run into the Pokémon and damage him some more. Caterpie was so happy, he might actually win this battle. His first ever win in history if he could pull it off. And Blitz promised that if he wins, he will never be enclosed in a pokeball again. Also a great thing. He was so excited and so exuberant as he tried to drive his skull at the rib of Charmander again. "I can do it! I can do it! Just gotta keep it up! Keep it up!" Caterpie kept saying to himself as a way to encourage him to go on... He was so happy, and so excited. [OOC: From this day forward Caterpie will be known as Tithonus from the mythology of Eos and Tithonus.] ::Caterpie:: (Almost very weak) Hit by nothing. Used Tackle on Charmander

Lan continued to struggle against his bindings, but no matter how much he tried, he still could not break free. He continued to wait on his tail flame. The Caterpie's head rammed hard into his ribs yet again. Once more, this ended up delivering a bit more damage than usual. Stifling a yelp of pain in his throat because of his still-clamped jaw, he desperately awaited the melting of the webbing on his arm. Finally, he felt enough of the webbing melt away that the rest just fell off of his arm. His arm was finally free! He swiped his claw up at his own face, using Scratch at his own head, trying to slash through the webbing around his mouth, finally cutting it free. He was so relieved to finally be free of the bindings, but he had taken a lot of extra time to do all of this and unwillingly gave the Caterpie a bit extra time to make an extra move. He was starting to climb to his feet, starting to really feel the damage from the Caterpie's constant attacks and taking his slow sweet time to get up through the pain. ::Charmander:: Hit by Tackle!

Tithonus saw that his opponent had freed himself and this continued to worry him. But he was so determined to win this battle that he blindly charged the Charmander in an attempt to smash right into the pokemon one more time. This was a very risky move as he ran right at the Charmander, he had set up no defense to protect himself so if the Charmander were to scratch him or bite him... It might be over for the poor Tithonus. He just charged blindly at the pokemon in hopes of taking him out... Risky strategy there Tithonus, risky strategy...

Lan saw the Caterpie coming his way again, and he was rammed once more, this time letting out an open cry of pain. But...this time, he didn't mind taking the blow. It set him up perfectly to deliver another strong blow onto the smaller Pokémon. He was glad to see that the Caterpie hadn't thought about trying to tie him up again and beating on him a third time. So, he decided to take this chance while he had it, before the Bug-type thought to tie his arm and mouth up yet again. He brought his arm down and tried to claw at the caterpillar with a Scratch attack. He tried to ignore the pain from that last Tackle as he did so and attack before Tithonus could get away. Tyro watched the battle, feeling that this was probably an amazing experience for both his Charmander and this Trainer's Caterpie. They were both going to walk away from this with a new lesson in mind. Lan's was to never underestimate his opponents and to never let his guard down, no matter what. He glanced over at Blitz across the room. He could tell from his facial expressions that he was starting to develop a bit more respect than before, but that he still didn't think much more highly. ::Charmander:: Hit by Tackle! Used Scratch on Tithonus! Weak

Once Tithonus was hit by this scratch, any respect that Blitz had for his Caterpie completely disappeared. The attack knocked Tithonus hard but not out. He started to cry as he just suddenly gave up. There was nothing that could change his mind here... All of a sudden, out of the blue, he just gave up. What kind of pokemon does that? Tithonus began to say: <"That's it. I give! I give! I don't care about being entrapped! I give up! I give!"> And Blitz just had to sigh. He attempted to return Tithonus into his pokeball, sad that the pokemon had simply given up just like that but there was nothing he could do in this situation... If Tithonus wanted to give up, he couldn't necessarily stop his pokemon. And right then, Tithonus began to shine and Blitz witnessed his first ever evolution as a trainer. The once Caterpie evolved into a large and thick Metapod who was much more adept at taking blows than Tithonus was as a Caterpie. But Blitz sighed as he had given up and just chose to return him... He only brought two pokemon and one had already fallen, this was a sad display... He was embarrassed for himself... From the other one was Charybdis, his Spheal which he had earlier hatched from it's egg in his journey. It had proven it's worth to him in some battles, but also showed how young and weak it was in others. He hoped he would get the stronger side of Charybdis today, he didn't want it to be a weakling right here... Charybdis looked at the Charmander and quickly smiled. <"Hi my name is Charybdis. What is your name?"> She said before Blitz looked at her impatiently and waited for her to attack. <"Charybdis use Defense Curl and Water Gun."> He quickly said to his Spheal. She began to cover up any weaknesses she previously had and then shot a stream of water at Lan. It wasn't the strongest attack but he didn't mind... It was super effective if it landed. ::Caterpie:: Hit by Scratch. Gives up (Fainted basically). [+1 level for Tithonus, +2 levels for Lan]
::Metapod:: Caterpie evolved into Metapod. Still called Tithonus. Returned to pokeball.

Lan was more than disappointed to hear that the Caterpie was just up and surrendering so easily. But before he could say anything about it, the Pokémon started glowing...and soon enough, he transformed into a Metapod. This caught both Lan and Tyro by surprise. So that was what evolution looked like in person! One could read all they wanted, but they'd never be prepared to see it live. Even after all those years of working at a Day-Care he had never seen a Pokémon evolve. Lan was caught between feeling disappointed that his battle wasn't going to finish, and that he was happy for the Caterpie that he had evolved. On one hand, he was missing out on ending a battle with a challenging opponent, in his opinion, but on the other, he was one step closer to becoming the useful Butterfree he apparently wanted to be. But that was enough of that, they had something new to worry about. The second Pokémon that this boy was going to use. A Spheal, huh? That was going to be tough, but Lan could do it...at least, he'd try to fight to the end. He heard the Spheal address him and he replied promptly. <I'm Lan.> he said in response. The terse reply was all he had time for. He heard the Water-type's Defense Curl attack and he hesitated again, not wanting to get too close for a bit, to see what he'd do. But, he shook it off and decided to go on the offensive anyway But first, he had to jump to the side and barely dodge the Water Gun attack. He smirked a bit. <You'll have to aim better than that!> With that, he tried to run forward and chomp down onto the Spheal. However, Tithonus' String Shots slowed him down just as much as before. He tried to sink his small teeth into the Spheal's blubbery body with Crunch. Dodged Water Gun! Used Crunch on Charybdis! [SPD: -6] Weak

Charybdis saw the lizard dodge her attack which disappointed her and also disappointed Blitz... He was sure that it would hit seeing how slow the pokemon had gotten, but somehow Lan managed to avoid it. But it doesn't matter, it was still extremely slow from all of the string shots so when Lan tried to chomp on Charybdis, this was very easily dodged by the Spheal as he could see the slow Charmander running at her in a very slow speed. But even then, Charybdis was too slow to get out of the way. She got bit, although not badly since she had her weak points all hidden from the defense curl. It still hurt, just not as bad... Then she decided to go on the offensive again now. She waited for orders from Blitz before she did anything but she was pretty sure she knew what her trainer wanted... <"Use Aqua Ring and then Water Gun."> Blitz said to Charybdis who began to envelope herself in a blue aura that hopefully looked magnificent to the Charmander. She began to glow and was very well covered by the Aqua Ring, which hopefully would scare the lizard as he was not one who could go against water... Then she shot a weak stream of water again at the Charmander. This one, she hoped, was much better aimed than the last one and would actually hit the lizard. She was disappointed the previous missed, but at least she wasn't badly hurt or anything... ::Spheal:: (Not yet weakening) (+1 defense) Hit by Crunch. Used Aqua Ring and Water Gun

Lan tried to dodge the Water Gun again...but he was moving far too slow to even hope to avoid the attack. But that wasn't going to work. He couldn't move fast enough to get away, and he was blasted hard in the stomach by the Water Gun, causing him to take some heavy damage. He cried out in pain and sank to his knees before dropping down onto all fours. It was everything he could do to keep himself from just falling to the ground. The flame on his tail was dimming slightly, to indicate just how weak he was getting. He was almost finished off...but if he was going to lose this battle, he was going to inflict as much damage as he could. From the ground, he tried to lunge at Charybdis and sink his teeth into the Spheal once more. With any luck, his Crunch might cause the Spheal's Defense to return to normal, but only luck would tell one way or the other. Or even if it managed to connect at all for that matter. He hoped his attack was successful...but there wasn't much he could do about it at this point. ::Charmander:: Hit by Water Gun! It's Super Effective! Used Crunch on Charybdis Very weak

Charybdis saw that Lan had not fallen from the water gun and instead was charging her to bite her again. She freaked out for a second and rolled herself in a ball to prevent the impact of the damage. She had used defense curl without even thinking about it, it was pretty incredible as the action she takes when she is scared was one which helped her greatly... She was bit by the Charmander but the teeth did not sink at all and the crunching didn't really happen as she had hardened her body due to the curl position enough times to reduce the impact greatly. While the impact was reduced, Charybdis was also able to absorb some of her health back due to the Aqua Ring that had enveloped her earlier. The glisten of the ring helped restore some of her health and this gave Charybdis enough confidence to attack again. With the Charmander in such close range due to crunch, she let out a very close range water gun all over his fast in an attempt to knock Lan out completely. The water gun attack wasn't all that powerful, but it was super effective and in this close range... It should take out Lan if it hit. Charybdis just hoped for the best, and so did Blitz who looked on in this battle. Charybdis was still very young and inexperienced, but it had showed a very impressive repertoire so far. He only hoped that his pokemon could keep it up. ::Spheal:: (Weakened) (+2 defense) (AQUA RING) Hit by Crunch. Used Defense Curl and Water Gun

Lan felt his teeth sink into the Spheal's blubbery body, but knew that it wouldn't accomplish much. He realized that all he did was manage to inflict a bit of damage. But before he even had an opporunity to pull away, he felt another blast of water slam right into his stomach. He was hit hard by the attack and fell to his knees in front of the Spheal. He clutched his stomach where the Water Gun hit him. He looked weakly at the Spheal again before falling forward, collapsing onto the ground, face-down, at Charybdis' feet. It was quite clear that he wasn't going to be getting up anytime soon. Tyro, seeing that Lan was down for the count, sighed. He couldn't say that he didn't see that coming. He lifted his Pokéball into the air and quickly returned the Charmander to his Pokéball. He'd give him some medical attention later. But right now, he had more important business to take care of. Finishing this battle. Hopefully, despite the boosted Defense from those Defense Curls, his next Pokémon would be able to take this Spheal down. "Alright, Haru, let's get you out here!" he called out. He opened up a second Pokéball, and a Riolu emerged from it after the usual flash of light. The Riolu stood firm, arms crossed as he emerged onto the ground. This was his first battle since he had left that store with this human. And he was going to prove himself. <Let's just jump right into this, alright?> he muttered. He quickly jumped right into the fight. He rushed forward, trying to ram hard into his opponent with a Quick Attack. He knew that this wouldn't be his strongest method of attacking, but he hoped that this wasn't all he'd be forced to do. ::Charmander:: Hit by Water Gun! Fainted! ::Riolu:: Sent out to replace Lan Used Quick Attack on Charybdis!

Blitz was happy when Charybdis took down Lan, but apparently Tyro was a very special trainer... When one of his rare went down, he instantly sent out another one. This got Blitz interested as this trainer did not look too strong, but yet managed to have two rare pokemon on one team. He must have been a special trainer, no doubt about that... When the second one came, it quickly went into battle formation and rushed over with lightning speed to hit Charybdis. The attack wasn't very physically strong, but it was just so fast that it caught Charybdis off guard and knocked her back a bit. And this attack hurt so much more than any of the previous ones, she was pushed back and she began to feel rather faint. It was only one attack, but it was one attack that did a lot of damage... She quickly was unveiled again in her water to regain some health, but not enough to really make too much of a difference. Blitz and Charybdis both knew... Most likely his pokmeon could only get take one more attack, two if lucky. That one was just way too detrimental. Blitz looked at her and just nodded. <"Use Defense Curl and then Powder Snow."> He said to his pokemon. Charybdis quickly began to wrap herself up once more in her defensive position to further strengthen her defense in case another one of those attacks came... And then she shot a weak splurge of ice at the Riolu in an attempt to hurt him and maybe even freeze him. This was the best she could do in her weakened position... She was glad to take down one pokemon, but two might be much. Blitz was very interested though in what Tyro had... He used his weakest pokemon against Tyro so he knew that this kid wasn't too strong. But you just can not ignore the fact that he does have two rare pokemon on his side. For someone with very little experience, he did a good job in collecting pokemon. Blitz was going to keep a closer eye on him... He has the type of pokemon Team Death would want, the type of pokemon that would make the administration very satisfied with Blitz...

Haru felt his attack connect and he smirked. This Spheal wasn't as impressive as he would have thought. He could tell that his opponent was already pretty weak from his previous attack. Then again, he was in a battle with another Pokémon just before this. He could only imagine that his opponent had been weakened before he had the chance to get into this battle. Well, it didn't matter to him. He was sure to finish this within the next few moves, and he wasn't going to let his guard down for any reason. When the Powder Snow came at him, he crossed his arms and tried to take the blast of snow. The attack did a decent amount of damage, but nothing he was going to slow down from. Growling in annoyance of the cold--oh how he hated the cold--he brushed off the attack and rushed once more at Charybdis. <Oh come now. Don't tell me that THAT'S the limit of your abilities. Pathetic.> With that, he dashed and tried to ram his shoulder into the defending Pokémon with Quick Attack, hoping to finish this battle with one final blow. ::Riolu:: Hit by Powder Snow!

Blitz heard this statement and was extremely ticked off... <"This pokemon wants to see power? Why don't I show him Zeus!"> He thought for a second... But he felt bad and didn't want to demolish the trainer like that... It wasn't worth it, he was going to admit defeat to Tyro here. Let the trainer get some experience as he looked young and inexperienced, he'll see him in the future and demolish him then. No need to do it now. When the Riolu came again with a quick attack. It hit Charybdis hard and she fell to the ground grimacing in pain. She quickly rolled herself into a ball to prevent any further damage but just stayed in the fetal position rolled in a ball. She was too weak to do anything else now and just awaited her defeat. Blitz felt bad for Charybdis but he knew that she had to lose some battles to get the experience she needed. This was a good growing opportunity for her... Lose a battle here, lose a battle there, and she will end up being much stronger in the future. She was soothed by the veil of water, but that didn't do much in her weakened state... Nothing would do much but the impact of one last hit to knock her out unconscious. ::Spheal:: (Very Very Weak) (AQUA RING) Hit by Quick Attack. Used Defense Curl.

Haru smirked as his Quick Attack was successful. He saw that all the Spheal could do in return was curl herself up into a tight ball and helplessly try to defend herself. <Heh...is that all you can do?> he said with a slight smirk. <It'll take more than that to finish me off. But if all you can do is cower, I guess I'll just put you out of your misery.> With that, Haru didn't hesitate. He had previously put a bit of distance between them to be able to react to what Charybdis was going to do next. But since she wasn't attacking, he moved to finish off his opponent. He charged forward and tried to ram hard into her with his shoulder in another Quick Attack. Both he and Tyro could tell that that there wasn't much more Charybdis could take before fainting. And Haru had hardly taken any damage so far. This was in the bag for him. ::Riolu:: Used Quick Attack on Charybdis again!

When the last attack hit. Charybdis fainted from the match and she was quickly returned to her pokeball. Blitz was very angry that this trainer began to taunt his Pokémon and he wished to make an example out of Tyro and Haru for doing it. He then threw down another Pokémon... This one was his Super Diglett... Broseidon. <"Hey what's up Bro! Hey you doing? Ah I see a Riolu here. Awesome bro!"> He said as he looked at it. Blitz knew it was only a 2 vs 2 and he was being somewhat of a sore loser but he wasn't going to let the insult slide. <"Lets see how you do against a Pokémon that is actually on my team. Unless you are too chicken"> He said to Tyro. He was legitimately annoyed with Haru and just wished to give it a good beating now. ::Spheal:: (FAINTED) Hit by Quick Attack.

((Heh, nah. I think this will be fun~ xP)) Tyro hadn't expected the boy to react in this way after seeing Charybdis faint. Well, if he wanted to continue the battle, he supposed it couldn't really hurt to keep going. Even if he lost the battle, Haru would still get experience from the loss. He really didn't like Haru taunting his opponents, and maybe a defeat would teach him a good lesson. He then heard Blitz' words and smiled a bit. "Nah, I don't mind continuing." he said. "This should be fun...I wonder how Haru will match up to a Pokémon with muscles like that...should be a good way to see just how strong my own Pokémon really is."The Riolu smirked as he saw Blitz grab another Pokéball. What kind of weakling would he see now? When the Super Diglett appeared before him, his eyes widened in surprise. That was DEFINITELY something he had not been expecting. Well, one way or another, this was sure to be a fun little battle. And he'd defeat this muscle-head in no time. < Yeah, yeah, let's just get this over with.> Haru muttered. <I have better things to do than fight with somebody who thinks they're tough just because of their size.> He decided to take the first attack. He suddenly leaped up into the air and tried to ram hard into the Super Diglett's stomach using Quick Attack. He planned on starting this battle strong, and ending the same way. ::Riolu:: Used Quick Attack on Broseidon!

Broseidon felt a little grimace when the Riolu ran right into him but it did not hurt too bad as his muscles, and level, suppressed the impact... But now Haru asked for it, he struck a large pokemon and angered him, and because of that he will pay heavily with his life. Broseidon just began to run after the pokemon while grunting very loudly. "HUHHH!! HUHH!!! HUHH!!" It must have been a scary sight seeing this large specimen charge at Riolu with his muscles and everything in an attempt to strike him. But he did not strike him, at least not yet. Instead Broseidon took a fistful of sand and threw it at the direction of Haru to distract him while he tried to get close enough to give him a headlock. If it connected, he knew what he was going to say. "How do you like me now?!" And he was going to try to choke Haru for a little bit before letting go, if it landed... That was Broseidon's plan in this, hopefully get the pokemon to flinch by his massive muscles and his massive size. Broseidon meant business, and he was going to beat Haru into a pulp... Or at least planned on doing so. (Not yet weakening) Hit by Quick Attack. Used Sand Attack and Astonish on Haru[/center]
