Thread: Pokemon: A Trainer's Crutch (LilGunner/BennyQ)

Everyone seemed to be getting along and everything was starting out without complication or snag. His Pokemon liked Kaya and Kaya in turn seemed to like them. She brought her own Pokemon out, who were received and greeted by the majority of his, except for a few of the grumpier ones. Tough guy acts , very permeable. Her own Pokemon were beautiful though. Her Rapidash thundered over, faster than anything he had seen, albiet aloof as well. Another toughie, Aydin figured. Her Lapras let out a squealing cry of greetings to his fellow water-types. He had to push his glasses up to his eyes to make sure he was seeing it right too. The specimen of Lapras she had was huge! Very impressive indeed. It was a tranquil scene. The sun was setting and in this mountainous, pseudo-warzone, it was nice to see Pokemon getting along and being affectionate. The thunder-types, Magneton, Ampharos, Jolteon, and her Pikachu all got along. The water-types were swimming circles around Lapras in some strange dance. Their Glooms were spreading some kind of powder all around them, creating this pollen filled dead zone that was probably paralyzing, sleep inducing, or poisonous, or all three. His Gloom however seemed rather disappointed by hers and they separated soon after. Her Butterfree was gregarious with all and was met with equal delight by others. Night was fast coming. For some, like Sneasel, Hoothoot, and Golbat, nighttime was their element. The others moved to their bushes, trees, or light barrows to rest. A few were permitted into the house. And you, Ms. Murasakino. I know you had a long journey so I can cover this night, if there should be any alarm. I have sensors around so if any Pokemon wanders on or wanders off, we know about it. He told her. Have yourself a good night. Leaving Nidorina to sleep on the couch, he went upstairs with his Magneton behind him and into his bedroom. Quietly, he locked the doorand then sighed. Finally, some peace and quiet. He really hoped Kaya would work out, for he was far behind schedule and needed a good week without interruption to catch up. Mr. G would be expecting a progress report very soon. For him, the night was still young. He went to his desk, opened up his specialty laptop, and began to formulate the beginnings of a report. It would be some time before he slept. Fortunately, there was no incident that night. But tomorrow morning, he intended to help transition Kaya and his Pokemon into the new state of things. He wasnt going to hold her hand. He would watch and render assistance if she asked or seemed hopeless in what she was doing, but other than that he would let her find her way. So far it was off to a good start as he came downstairs, showered and freshly dressed, glasses in hand as he closed his eyes and took several deep inhales of the strong scent of coffee. Now that was a plus to having a helper on hand. Good morning. He beckoned sleepily. Youre ready for the breakfast hour? He took care of their breakfast first, a simple mix of bacon, scrambled eggs and toast with jam. He was just about to wash the dishes when there came a flurry of Pokemon cries and shrieks from the lakeside. From one frying pan and into another. He said as he ceased soaping up the pan. He could only hope it wasnt King Poliwrath and his crew, deciding to repay Aydins rumor-mongering. He rushed outside and to the lake, where he found several of his water-types up against the shore line. Seadra, Remoraid, Chinchou, and Cloyster were in a semi-circle, their backs to the shore, while Starmie, Golduck, Wartortle, and Dewgong stood slightly above on ground. They looked uneasy, but clung in a pack out of solidarity. His Poliwhirl, a new addition, wasnt quite sure and was further inland. Dragonair was out by herself a little ways ahead, facing the water and whatever danger lurked underneath. Kayas Lapras was there too. The surface of the lake bubbled and with a mighty roar, a monstrous Gyrados burst forth. Several Pokemon cringed, though Golduck flexed a pose. Dragonair gave her own shrill cry in challenge but she was many times outsized. None of his Pokemon seemed to have a mass capable of confronting the Gyrasdos. Well Lapras did. Magneton bristled with electricity but Aydin shot up his hand in refusal. No! Youll shock the waters and hurt more than the Gyrados. He instructed Magneton with a frown. Rhydon was at a disadvantage. Ampharos was limited too. Typhlosion would not come forth. Alakazammaybe. There was no time to arrange it. Gyrados let loose a mighty roar and energy gathered before its mouth, before unleashing a mighty Hyperbeam. Dragonair matched it with her own beam, Dragon Rage. The two blasts connected and an explosion rocked the water, causing waves to crash along the shore. Smoke covered the battlefield for a moment and all Aydin could see was his Dragonair, panting a little hard. She had no time to react when Gyrados burst forth out of the water again, much closer, and delivered a smacking tail whip that knocked Dragonair clean out of the water. Aydin ran to her side, his hands on her. She was hurt and needed a moment to recover. But the Pokemon had been his best water-type. The others had no chance. He needed his Alakazam, but looking over his shoulderthe Psychic type was not even around
