Jet saw his Sonicboom attack hit...and then saw the Meowth collapse completely. His breath seemed to cut short on him, as he expected the Cat Pokémon to just jump right back to her feet and lash out at him with Bite or Scratch. But when it didn't happen, Jet slowly walked up...and tapped her just to make sure she was truly down for the count. She was. <I...I won....> he muttered to himself in what was practically disbelief. Apollo saw all of this take place, and he grinned. "Way to go, Jet, I knew you could do it!" he was happy for his Pokémon for being able to handle the situation without being switched out. "Wow, you were great!" But then he remembered that he still had to do something. He took out another Pokéball and threw it at the Meowth in an attempt to capture her. At the same time, Jet, still in a state of disbelief, made his way over to the Pokéball that was resting comfortably in the snow. After the battle had started, she must have dropped it at some point.... Jet had been too preoccupied to notice. He walked over and picked it up in his paws. That Pidgey from before was in here...and she probably hated his guts right about now. But, that wasn't going to stop him from getting her back to Apollo, where she belonged now. He walked over to his Trainer and handed the Pokéball over. "Thanks Jet." he said, kneeling down in the snow and giving the Buizel a good head rubbing. "You really were great." He took the Pokéball from the Buizel and looked at it. He may have captured it quite a while ago...but he hadn't actually gotten his hands on her until just now. NOW was when he could count his first official capture of a wild Pokémon. Used Pokéball Retrieved Pidgey

The out cold Meowth laid there as the Pokeball was thrown towards her. The Pokeball hit it and sucked it inside into its grasp. Inside the Meowth had no energy to even fight it, hence why it was a quick and easy capture.
The Pokeball shook three times before stopping and laying on the ground, waiting to be picked up. The Meowth would have been happy to know she was in a shiny Pokeball. That's all she wanted, something shiny.

As Apollo got up and walked over to the Pokéball, it had stopped moving, just as he had thought it would. He picked it up, realizing the Meowth was still inside. He now had two Pokémon collected at the same time...despite the fact that they were both captured at different times. He looked over at Jet and Vance...but somebody was missing. Vance was nowhere to be seen. Realizing this, he went into a slight panic. He hoped that he hadn't been abducted by a wild Pokémon or something while he had been busy with the Meowth.... "Vance...!?" Apollo called out. "Where are you...?"Realizing his Piplup buddy was now gone, Jet looked and sniffed around for a while. After a few seconds, he stopped, and got his Trainer's attention with a few verbal noises, and then dashed off, following a small trail of footprints in the snow, and his scent, with Apollo following right in his tracks. Soon enough, they found the Piplup not too far off, messing around in the snow. "Vance, there you are...!" Apollo called out as he and Jet emerged where the smaller Pokémon was playing around. This commotion attracted the Piplup's attention and he turned around, giving a bright smile back at the two. Beside him was a small pile of snow that Apollo could only guess was supposed to be a Buizel's head. It was...lopsided and odd-looking, but the general shape could be understood...sort of. Jet and Vance started talking and looking at it again, and Apollo felt lost as he couldn't follow any of it. "Well, this is probably as good a time as any to take a break." he muttered to nobody in particular. So, he walked over and leaned against a nearby tree. He smiled as he watched the two play in the snow...as they were both Water Pokémon, he figured they wouldn't mind the cold nearly as much as he did. He also kept the Pidgey and the Meowth, whom he still had to name, in their Pokéballs for the same reason. A few minutes later, Apollo was ready to go. Mostly because he couldn't stand just sitting around in the cold for very long. "Alright guys, that's enough play time..." he said. "I think it's time to get moving again." With that, he returned Vance back to his Pokéball, let Jet crawl back up onto his shoulders, and made his way back to the path. He then started to walk forward down the road, getting closer to his next destination with every step, leaving the funny-looking Snowzel behind. *Party rested for a few minutes before continuing*

The sun was almost reaching the horizon now on this snowy day. The snow was gentle as it fell but it was getting a little thicker; it was quiet as well. The only sounds you can hear are your own footsteps as well as your Pokemon. However, something was lurking nearby. It was holding onto the branch of a nearby tree. At first, it didn't seem to notice Apollo until he started walking agian. It opened its mouth and smiled. ::zubat:: <"What do we have here? Some fresh blood?"> he whispered. he was talking to himself mostly which was weird. He took flight silently and decided to sneak up on him. He landed on Apollo's shoulder and suddenly let out a loud shrieki!

As they continued to walk, nobody, not even Jet, was able to realize they were about to be attacked. And usually, Jet was able to pick up on it before they even got close. Maybe it was just that he was distracted or the cold all around, but for one reason or another, he did not notice the incoming attack. At least, not until he got close enough to actually land on Apollo himself. But before either of them could react, they were met with a loud, high-pitched Supersonic attack. This caught the both of them completely by surprise, and Apollo instinctively reached up to cover his ears, stumbling slightly from the loud explosion of noise. Jet, unfortunately, was effected even more by the attack and wound up falling right off of Apollo's shoulders and onto his back in the snow. He was so dizzy he couldn't get up from this position...because he couldn't tell which direction was up. So for now, he just layed there, letting the world spin around him. Apollo was so busy trying to block out the noise that he wasn't even able to reach down and grab a Pokéball. He would have had Vance come out and try to stop the Zubat, but he just couldn't get himself to remove his hands from his head. It was almost as if they were glued there. All in all, it would seem that the Zubat's surprise attack worked perfectly. ::Buizel:: Confused by Supersonic

The Zubat snickered at the sight of his Supersonic working perfectly, he was so smart. He started talking to himself again. <Oh, Zubat, what a smart Zubat you are. Thinking of a master plan like this, you're so awesome.> After he was done complementing himself he took flight from Apollo's shoulder and turned around in mid air, he stuck his fangs out and zoomed in on the Buizel. He was planning on going for the human instead but he figured if he had a Pokemon he could defend himself. Instead, he went for the Pokemon first. He was so smart, he should have been like the king of the route or something.

Jet had barely managed to get back to his feet, still stunned from the Supersonic attack, when suddenly, he felt a sharp pain echo from his shoulder as the Zubat quickly sank his teeth into his shoulder. He let out a loud cry of pain from the attack and felt his energy get drained from him. He tried to pull away and pull himself free...but it was hard to do that when he could barely even stand straight because of his Confusion. He stumbled around a bit more, desperately trying to clear his mind and vision. Why was everything still spinning...? Apollo was finally starting to shake off the effects of the Supersonic, and he saw what was going on with Jet. If he had chosen his own Pokémon, he would have gone with somebody completely different, since this would be Jet's third straight battle...but he didn't have a choice right now. Switching out would do more harm than good, as it would get another of his Pokémon hurt. So for now, he decided to try to stick with Jet. "J-Jet...!" He called out. "If you can hear me, try to blast him with a Sonicboom attack!"Jet understood Apollo's orders quite clearly. However, when he tried to jump into the air and twist himself around to blast the attack at the fluttering Zubat, something went wrong. As it turned out, Jet had jumped in the wrong direction...and jumped face-first into a tree. <AGH!> he cried out in pain as he felt his face slam hard right into the bark. He slid down the tree which would have been a bit funny to watch if it weren't for the situation at hand. <Ergh....> He hit the snow below on his tail and then promptly fell over backwards, stunned from the combined effects of the tree's blow and the Supersonic. ::Buizel:: Hit by Leech Life; energy was drained! Tried to use Sonicboom, but hurt himself in his Confusion Stunned and very dizzy

The Zubat was snickering so badly at his surprise attack. It was the most fun he had all day and he certainly wasn't going to let his playmates get away without a few...bite marks. He flew away for a moment but was ready for another strike. He watched his opponent try to use an attack but then got hurt himself in confusion. How amusing!!
<"Do you like my shrill screams? They'll be the last thing you hear!"> said the Bat Pokémon. He flew around Jet before screeching with a frightening shriek at him.

Jet groaned in pain, still trying to shake off the dizzy feeling. But he just plain couldn't, no matter how hard he tried. He tried to get back up to launch another attack...but by the time he managed to get back to his feet, the Zubat was in his face, hitting him with such an unexpected Astonish attack. He was so caught off-guard by the sudden move that he let out a loud scream of fear and fell over backwards again onto his back. The Buizel shook his head afterwards and was able to roll back onto his feet yet again. Sure, he was dizzy still, but it slowly and steadily seemed to be getting a little bit better. Apollo watched all of this and winced slightly at Jet's situation. He felt soory for the poor Pokémon, who seemed to just simply getting himself pummeled out there. "Come on Jet, I know you've got what it takes! Take him down with Sonicboom!" This was getting risky...if the battle kept going in the Zubat's favor like this, Jet was going to fall before he could even deal enough damage to even accomplish anything. Jet was ready this time. He had messed the last move up, but this time was going to be different! <N-no, for your information...I...I don't like 'em...> Perhaps it was a stupid thing to say, given the situation, but he didn't care. He just needed to get a few hits in.... As such, he tried the same thing he did before...except this time, he was successful. He managed to jump into the air and launch a wave of Sonicboom at the Zubat, trying to blast him right out of the air. ::Buizel:: Hit by Astonish Used Sonicboom

Extremely sensitive to any kind of sound, sonicbooms were murder on Zubat's sense of direction. Zubat let out a war cry, divebombing the Buizel and using Astonish once more.
<You're going down, man! You're going so down!> Zubat wailed, circling overhead. His head throbbed and his body ached, strong confident words betraying the weakness within.

Jet couldn't see whether or not his Sonicboom connected. He was still feeling too dizzy to see. However, the Zubat's cry was heard and then what he said afterwards, he figured he must have hit. His attitude seemed to have toned down from 'this guy's a weakling' to 'time for a fight'. Well, that suited him just fine. Unfortunately, that might mean that the Zubat was about to take things a bit more seriously. Jet shook his head, trying to shake off the Confusion that still worked at his mind. He needed to be able to concentrate...but none of this was helping. He couldn't even tell the Zubat was coming at him until he was in his face, with another Astonish. This, once more, caught him off guard and he fell flat onto his back into the snow yet again. Apollo was finally starting to stop hearing the effects of that initial Supersonic that had still been ringing in his ears. Then, he called out to Jet. "C'mon Jet, let's take this guy down! Try to get up and use another Sonicboom!" In all honesty, he couldn't wait until Jet learned some new moves...it sure would make battling these wild Pokémon a lot easier. Jet was able to get back to his feet a bit easier than before, thanks to the Confusion slowly beginning to lighten up. it was still present, but it was starting to let up a bit. The Buizel jumped into the air, hoping against hope that he didn't jump face-first into a tree...which he didn't. Luck was on his side it seemed. He turned around in place and blasted a second Sonicboom attack at where the Zubat was flying around. Hopefully at this rate, things would end relatively well.... ::Buizel:: Hit by Astonish Used Sonicoom

The Zubat's sneak attack was successful but the Pokemon Trainer and his Pokemon seemed to be fighting back without too much trouble! He had to try to regain and keep his momentum! If he lost it, then he would surely be defeated! He couldn't let that happen. He was hit by the SonicBoom attack which was a bit strange; it never seemed to hurt more or less. It always remained about the same. ::zubat:: <"I'll just keep flying circles around you!"> he cried. He circled around Jet before lunging at him with his fangs.

Jet heard his attack connect with his opponent, and tried to back off to give himself some room between the two of them. If he backed off enough, maybe the Pokémon would take a bit longer to get to him, and it might give him a bit more time to react. Unfortunately, his little 'strategy' was in vain. The Zubat's next attack didn't come directly. Instead, the Zubat started circling around him. Jet desperately tried to keep his eyes on the Bat Pokémon, but he couldn't keep his thoughts straight because of his Confusion. When the Zubat suddenly lunged at him, he didn't have any time to react, and the Zubat's teeth sank into his skin, draining him of even more strength. With another pained cry, he sank to one of his knees. Apollo was worried about Jet at this point. Should he switch him out for another Pokémon? Maybe he should just give Jet a bit more time...maybe he could pull through this. This was definitely one of the harder choices when one becomes a new Trainer...figuring out when it's a good time to switch out your Pokémon. "Jet...! C'mon, try to hit it with Sonicboom again!"Jet got back to his feet once more, looked around for wherever the Bat Pokémon was now, and tried to jump into the air and blast it yet again with more of the same: the Sonicboom. But unfortunately, that darn tree just seemed to love to have Jet smack his face into its trunk, so it happens again. Jet jumps into the air to deliver his blow...only to find himself hitting...well, some part of the tree with his head, causing him to fall over backwards and onto his back in the snow with a small groan. ::Buizel:: Hit by Leech Life Hurts himsel in Confusion Starting to weaken

The Zubat was absolutely hysterical! He was laughing from the sheer joy of dominating his opponent like this. He cackled almost like a witch with his shrill laughs! He was flying around Jet still and all he could probably hear was disturbing laughter. He stopped and smiled maniacally. ::zubat:: <"Are you okay, little one?! You look a little lost!"> he shrieked. He kept flying around Jet before rushing in for another Leech Life attack!

Jet heard the howls and shrieks from the Bat Pokémon. He was getting humiliated here. He had just hurt himself twice, and he was getting creamed. If he didn't shape up quickly, he might not be able to pull out of it at all. Then he heard Zubat's question and grimaced a bit. Now he was being mocked...ugh, this definitely wasn't good for his self-esteem. But, for now he could just continue to persevere through it. <Y-yeah, I'm...just fine...!> he called back up at the Zubat. Wait...right after he said that, his dizziness seemed to be gone and he could stand straight again. His Confusion was over! He looked up at the Zubat, now circling around him yet again. Despite his cleared head, he didn't know which direction the Zubat would attack from, and therefore was unable to protect himself. The Zubat's teeth sank into him yet again, causing yet another loud cry of pain before sinking to his knees. Those teeth hurt a lot more than one would think.... "Ngh...j-just get up, Jet! We can still do this!" Apollo called out. One look told him that the Confusion had worn off, and that Jet was back to normal. At least for now. "Alright, you know what to do!" Apollo called out when the Buizel was able to get back up. "Hit it with Sonicboom, but watch out for that counterattack!" He knew he was being a bit redundant...and that Jet probably didn't need to be told what to do, since there wasn't anything else he really could do. But, he needed Jet to know he had his support. Jet glanced back at Apollo again and simply nodded. Afterwards, he jumped towards the Zubat, this time being careful not to accidently jump in the direction of any trees, and spun around, whipping his twin tails around and trying to shoot another wave of Sonicboom at his opponent. ::Buizel:: Hit by Leech Lie Confusion wore off!

::zubat:: Pokemon encounter ! The Zubat's laughing face instantly dimmed as soon as he realized that the Buizel had regained normal control over his thoughts. Soon the Buizel came towards him, and before the flapping predator could think of dodging the shock waves crashed into him once more. He gave a cry of horrible pain as the sonicboom reduced even more of his health. Drained of strength, he plummeted to the ground.
His saving grace could be attributed to the slim amount of energy he'd leeched from the Buizel. Quivering, the Zubat got up and stood on his small claws with much effort. Sweat beaded down his face, a telltale sign that he didn't have much strength to battle. A last-chance grin adorned the bat's face before he suddenly charged at the Buizel, attempting to surprise him. ::zubat:: Hit by Sonicboom! Used Astonish! Weakening

As the Zubat plummeted to the ground, Jet couldn't help but smile a bit to himself. He was starting to breathe heavily and he was getting tired, but he was doing well for fighting this battle by himself. He saw the Bat Pokémon getting back up and started flying in his direction. Expecting another Leech Life, he prepared to jump out of the way and counter on Apollo's command. Unfortunately, that's not what happened. The Zubat came at him...and let out another Astonish attack. <WAH!!> he cried out, caught completely off-guard by the move, falling over onto his back again. "J-Jet!" Apollo called out. That Astonish had been so unexpected that Apollo wasn't quite sure how to react to it. But naturally, there wasn't much to think about. "Alright Jet, try to keep him back with Growl and launch a Sonicboom!"Jet rolled backwards and back to his feet. He wasn't going to go down that easily! He let out a Growl as menacing as he could make in the Zubat's direction. Afterwards, he spun himself on his foot and whipped his tails around, trying to blast the wave of Sonicboom once more in the Bat Pokémon's direction. ::Buizel:: Hit by Astonish Used Growl and Sonicboom Tiring out

Pokemon battle ! Zubat heard the Growl acutely, his heart pumping wildly at the frightening sound. Soon the Sonicboom came; the bat managed to detect it with the help of echolocation, but it was a two-edged sword; as soon as he'd sent out the waves he was already too slow to dodge them. They harmed his body, making him arch his back as the pain enspirited him.
Every inch of his limbs was wracked with pain now, and the Zubat couldn't hope to hover for much longer. Slowly, carefully, he allowed his wings to spread and guided his body down to the soft dirt of the ground. ::zubat:: Defeated! Jet gains 1 level. Capture is possible.

As the Zubat collapsed, Jet was breathing heavily, hoping that he didn't get back up. After waiting for a minute and realizing that the Bat Pokémon wasn't going to be standing or flying again any time soon, the Buizel let out a sigh of relief. He fell over backwards and just let himself fall into the cold snow. He...had somehow managed to win. He was ecstatic about it...but very exhausted. There was no way he could win another one after this. He was done fighting...for now.
"Wow, way to go, Jet!" Apollo called out, dashing out to scoop him up out of the snow. "You really do have such amazing potential...." But he then looked over at the Zubat that was now lying on the ground. He considered capturing it...but then he remembered that he was limited on his Pokéballs. Thinking back, he realized that he only had three remaining. He should probably save them for something he would like a bit more...so he decided to just step past the fallen Zubat and start walking again, actually carrying Jet now. For sure, the next Pokémon he would use was Vance. He needed the Piplup to get some training as well. Jet must have gotten quite a bit stronger from those last few battles...and now it was somebody else's turn.

BUDEW::budew:: There was a PREVALENT scent drifting down the path and towards Apollo. It was sweet and enjoyable. Although he was clearly not the poke'mon move sweet scent, it wasn't unlike it. In fact it was more natural that any scent a poke'mon could create. Down the path, despite the recent cold weather and harsh winter storms, a small patch of beautiful yellow flowers with BALMY leaves had survived, hidden among the roots of a tree. But the shelter alone was not enough. A small Budew was running around, pushing dirt up against the flowers to keep them warm. He was working quickly, trying to keep his precious plants safe. Spring would come eventually, and it would bring him great joy to see his flowers thrive.
