DUNCE's Campaign!

[zeebedee]

Dunce starts off in Saffron City, waiting for his Abra to finish resting up. People mull past them, but never too close, as if there was a subconcious barrier that caused them to flow around him. Sabrina was expecting the duo in just a few minutes for their psychic training.

[DUNCE]

Tamekuri will look down at Chulu and think hey, Chulu, i know you can hear me, time to wake up, we gotta get going, or do you want me to cary you to Sabrina again? and without waiting for an answer he'll pick Chulu up and wrap the little abra's legs around his neck and journey to Sabrina's house

[zeebedee]

The two enter Sabrina's Gym, the psychic gym. Inside it was almost perfectly silent, with tiles in each corner of the rooms. Tamekuri knew by heart the sequence of tiles to step on, and was quickly warped to Sabrina's private training area.

She was beautiful, if nothing. Her body and face were quite appealing, save that she never ever showed much emotion. She was quietly pitting a rather noisy Haunter against a Kadrabra, the evolved form of Tamekuri's pokemon. The concentration was thick in the air, but the beams of concentrated
psychic-manipulated energy could not even scathe the joyous laughing Haunter.

The Ghost type pokemon dropped an explosive in front of the Kadabra, and before the pokemon's spoon could bend it exploded, blasting the psychic type back into the wall. She recalled the Kadabra and turned to Tamekuri.
"I'm very sorry, Tamekuri. I was concentrating rather hard, trying to see if my influence could sway the battle one way or another." She said, and the ghost appeared behind her and became tangible, smothering the woman in a hug. A rare occasion....a smile? But it faded again as she looked to Tamekuri.

"The time for your training is up, Tamekuri. You must go on your journey with your companion and fufill your desires. I will allow you to do so, provided you best my Haunter in battle. Are you up to the challenge?" She announced, the authority and grace of the trainer and the sudden seriousness and attentiveness of the Pokemon every bit deserving her of her title.

[DUNCE]

OOG: two things, # 1 its the neames not takemuri, its tamekuri and #2 i love your usage of words

"i accept your challenge" i'll then take chulu from my shoulders and place him on the ground saying softly "he's a ghost so telekenesis wont work when throwing him" Tamekuri sighs "If you cannot destroy the body, destroy the mind. Be sure to teleport away from those explosions, i dont want you getting hurt, or worse"

Tamekuri will then step back and watch the battle unfold, being sure to warn Chulu of any unforseen dangers

[zeebedee]

OOG: 1)Edited for your pleaure 2) Thank you!

Sabrina closed her eyes and Haunter moved forward, it's hands opening and closing slowly, as if kneading Chulu's soul in it's hands. It's red eyes, devoid of the hapiness of before set on the Abra. Sabrina spoke, and the ghost's mouth moved in tandem with hers.
"I will not hold back....I owe my star pupil that much." She said coldly.
The Haunter floated forward and all of a sudden the room grew dark until there wasn't a room at all, it was eternal darkness with nothing but the Abra and Haunter. Swirling colors of purple and magenta melded and undulated around them as the Haunter sent it's ghastly fist at the Abra. (shadow punch XD). The fist, disconnected to it's body, became tangible just as it came in close enough to strike.

[DUNCE]

attempt to teleport away and then use confusion to instill as great a sadness as possible in the opponent

[zeebedee]

The Haunter recoiled, it's eyes shut and it's Gastly (lol punny) fists clutching its face. ?It let out a hiss and with one hand, caused spectral tentacles to come from the ground and clutch the Abra, leaving invisible scalding marks on it's body.

[DUNCE]

I'll yell at Chulu, "Plan B!" which means he'll telepathically tell enemy pokemon he's behind them or to the side of them, use telekenesis to tap them on the shoulder or back of head to get their attention, teleport behind or next to them, and when they look, teleport away, attempting to cause paranoia, and repeat this process several times, putting more and more impact behind the telekenisis; then once in some sort of paranoia they would forget about any barriers of the mind and make it that much easyer for Chulu to hypnotize them and make them either forfiet the match, or attack their trainer or something of that sort (and for this one i guess its up to you what happens if it DOES get hypnotized)

[zeebedee]

Hypnosis-successful.
Haunter is preturbed so from the psychic attacks on it's etherial form that it becomes succeptable to the hypnosis.

side effect-sabrina falls asleep as well.

[DUNCE]

woot! that mean i win? if so, i'll walk over to sabrina and wake her up

[zeebedee]

You walk over to Sabrina and wake her, and suddenly her Haunter awakes as well, ready for battle. "No, Haunter. We are done. Tamekuri has bested us at last." She said stoicly, and the pokemon stood down, deciding instead to approach and hug the Abra. making silly sounds and being generally annoying. "Tamekuri, you have proven yourself worthy. I bestow upon you my Psychic-Badge and send you off to fight with Chulu, and finish the quest you are given." She said, giving him the shining metal pin. "May your victories be many and your defeats be twice the more." She said, and stepped on the warp tile, dissapearing.

[DUNCE]

Tamekuri can't hold the excitement of beating sabrina in and just starts laughing and dancing with Chulu, but upon looking at his pokemon, decides that its time to get a Kadabra out of Chulu, knowing that defeating other pokemon is a sure way to get stronger, he decides to do so, leaving the building by way of teleportation pad, he puts his badge on the inside of his left jacket sleeve to be sure it wont be stolen. He then hoists Chulu onto his shoulders and begins walking towards the nearest place that may have some wild pokemon, and if possilbe, Tamekuri would like to go and get a single pokeball before departing just in case he encounters an enemy that he wants; if he can't, he'll go off without a pokeball

[zeebedee]

Tamekuri buys three, because at Saffron, they come in packs of three. Chulu gets mad buffs due to his trainers light and inspired mood. You go out towards celadon city. The gatekeeper smiles and lets the two through. You see three trainers-a pokemaniac, a youngster running through the grass with his pokemon and a bug catcher closing in on an unsuspecting beedrill. There are many wild pokemon in this area. Off in the distance you seea large bird pokemon, however chulu reads tmekuri's thoughts and shivers in fear.

[DUNCE]

i decide not to attack the large bird, because that seems like it woiuld be a bad idea, but keeping in mind what he came out there to do, he'll politley ask the pokemaniac if he wants to fight me, (still retaining the excitement of sabrina's defeat, so it'd be like "Hey, i feel great, lets fight")

[zeebedee]

The pokemaniac smiles and accepts. "That pokemon you have there is quite an interesting one. Abra-a psychic type pokemon. It rests more than twelve hours a day and teleports from danger whenever encountered in the wild...." The pokemaniac mused, the two hairy worms above his eyes setting in a hard stare. H leapt back a bit. "I have just the remedy for it's condition..." He confidently said, pulling the ball from his wide waist. He held the ball to his face and tossed it to the sky, his short thinner arms showing a bit more control than Tamekuri would have given him credit for. A small click is heard, and a flash of brilliant red light snaked from the ground to take shape on the cool ground. A large purple pokemon with exhaust ports extending from the sides of his face like a porus crown that matched the porus face of it's trainer. The pokedex beeped from it's side, Chulu having opened it with his mind. "Exploud the Vocal Calamity Pokemon. This pokemon has extremely powerful vocal chords that allow it's vox to raise to the level of shattering stone. When not prevoked however, this pokemon usually takes up song, the vents at the side of it's head used as different sounds." Then the dex closed and chulu levitated from Tamekuri's back to gracefully touch the floor in an awkward stance. Tamekuri felt immense calm from his companion.

[DUNCE]

Tamekuri has learned to trust Chulu's judgements, and believes that if he's calm, Tamekuri should be too. He'll relay a message to Chulu "to make sounds you need air, telekenesis dust in those holes when he's not paying attention, that should take care of his speciality for awhile, but be sure not to be hit by any physical attacks, teleport away when you feel you should; when the fight is in our favor, just finish off his mind as we did in our last fight"
OOG: and thats my battle plan, you can finish this one can't you? for better or for worse... to save time

[zeebedee]

Chulu nods, but tamekuri feels resentment at his orders to it. The Exploud doesn't give chulu much time to relay a message to Tamekuri, rushing and roaring at the small form standing before it. Chulu lifts his hand, and suddenly Exploud collapsed to the ground, rolling quite uncomfortably to a stop before it. The pokemaniac's eyes widened before he incredulously pointed an accusing finger at Tamekuri.
"Y-Y-you cheated! Abra isn't supposed to know disable until a much higher level that what my pokedex tells me yours is!" The trainer cried, but he wouldn't have been able to have continued, because Chulu lifted the pokemon off the ground with his mind, and with a light blue aura around the two pokemon, one tossed the other one to the feet of the pokemaniac beofre turning to its master, happiness radiating from it.

[DUNCE]

Tamekuri will ask Chulu in a voice that would befit a parent talking to a child that had just done something wrong "and when did you learn THAT? i thought we shared everything together." then quickly change his tone, "No matter, you still did good, anything i can get you as a reward?" Wow, if he can already use disable, maybe he's a lot stronger than i thought he was, maybe this badge has something to do with it... nah and with that, i'll listen to Chulu's request and act accordingly

[zeebedee]

Chulu recoiled at the scolding, however was overjoyed that Tamekuri was gracious. It levitated itself onto his shoulders, obviously indicating that a nap was a wonderous reward. The other trainers in the area laughed at the pokemaniac-the man was obviously unpopular- congratulating Tamekuri and gazing at the Abra.

----you recieved 300 bucks! NICE!----

[DUNCE]

i'll talk to the pokemaniac, putting my hand on his shoulder for an added effect, "Don't worry man, you'll get your shot at success one day. You may have been defeated on this one, but that doesn't mean that'll happen every time." Tamekuri will look up at the sky, thinking back, "I just don't want you to turn out as one of my other friends, he had great potential, but was badly beaten one day, he then lost interest and got rid of his pokemon. I don't want to see anyone go through something like that again." Tamekuri will then look back at the pokemaniac, then at the spectators that laughed. He then raises his voice to a yell, "How dare you laugh at someone who puts up a genuine effort!? Through my experiences only cowards laugh! If you wish to prove me wrong, BRING IT ON!" He'll end the rant by lifting Chulu off of his shoulders and onto the ground, he'll take off his glasses and beanie and hand them to Chulu for safe keeping: he'll then wait for anyone to chalenge him, looking as intimidating as possible, not wanting to fight anyone, but will to defend an 'unpopular' person.

[zeebedee]

A hush goes though the crowd as everyone looks nervously at him, but the vibe of fear isn't for Tamekuri. A man steps through the crowd like they weren't there, the people before him reverently moving out of the way.
"You wouldn't know the story if I carved it into you. We weren't laughing at him because he lost, we're laughing because he BOUGHT it from Team Syphon. Since then, he's been using it to catch wild pokemon and give them to Syphon for money. So if you still want to defend him, that's fine. I'll give you a beating you'd never forget. Maybe your pokemon was trying to tell you what I did with how passionate it was in trying to beat it, and if that's the case, you need to pat better attention to it." The man said. He stood tall, tanned skin and brown spiked hair. His eyes were convicted slits, almost as if he didn't need to open his eyes to see. He wore an orange shirt and dark green vest with brown cargo pants, and seemed more on the muscular side. He was easily recognized as Brock, the Pewter City Gym Leader. "I was just called in to solve this problem, and I will solve it if there still is one"

OOG: You are invited to the Someninja battle in the trainer battles board. You'll get good exp, money, and items if you participate.

[DUNCE]

OOG: wow, now i feel stupid, and i'll check out that trainer battle

Tamekuri has never heard of team syphon before and asks brock, " Team Syphon? who are they?"

[zeebedee]

Brock lowers his arms. "Team Syphon....that's a tricky one. If there was a polar opposite of the intent of the gym leaders and elite four, they would be closest. They aren't too kind or caring for their pokemon, choosing more to manipulate them, their loyalty and their desire to please their trainers. We don't know much more than that, but expec tthat if you've run into a member that you won't be able to end your battle until their pokemon is incapable of movement." Brock said, rubbing his chin. "Anyways, it isn't really much of a problem. We've cornered them to saffron city and they think they're in control. Just....go on your way and think more for your pokemon, allright?" He concluded, his toughened muscular hand extending to the boy.

[DUNCE]

Tamekuri decides that the knowledge in Brock's voice made him all too convincing and decides to do just that, concentrate on his pokemon... with that he'll try to find that large bird pokemon that was spoken of earlyer, and try to catch it! he thinks that with Chulu's new found power, that opens a world of possibilities! (or if its too late in the day, find an inn or something like that and sleep, then later walk around, and once more try to get a Kadabra out of Chulu)

[zeebedee]

OOG: Kadabra? You just started your lovin game! Beat Vermillion city's Liutenant Surge and maybe you'll have one then ^^ Besides, Abra has more story arc to work out.

Abra exudes a great desire to sleep, obviously tuckered out from exerting itself the last few battles, and levitates again to Tamekuri's shoulders. After all, they were almost to Vermillion city and many trainers had already left the road. Brock was the only one standing there before him his tanned skin darker with the falling sun. He stood up after the sun had completely fallen and looked to Tamekuri.

"Gotta go kid, there's a time and a place for fun and games, but I got a call from another trainer in Pewter who wants my badge. Just remember what I said, and don't leave things thought once over." He said before tossing a pokeball. A massive Onix erupted from the ball, a light red tint fading as the ball returned and minimized to fit on the gym leader's belt. He walked beside the Onix, his hand on its rocky body- and however the massive serpent would writhe, the massive stones fit to crush a man didn't once impede on the leaders path. Truely an example of bonding, the onix growled something incoherent, and the man laughed heartily.
"I agree, Onix, we should make those hikes through Mt Moon much more often!"

[zeebedee]

The someninja battle happens sometime hopefully thursday.

[DUNCE]

OOG: i figured my pokemon wouldn't reach an evolution so quickly.... but the power of the spoon compells me, secondly, thanks for the someninja update!

Tamekuri gets very inquisitive, forgetting his earlyer fatigue, " Mt. Moon? you've traversed it? wow, i wouldn't do that, well, without a guide, hey, next time your headin' up there, mind if i join you?" he'll say, waiting for a response, regardless of the answer, Tamekuri will resign to sleep and cast himself to the night of slumber sure to ensue... keeping in mind the noble gym leaders answer.

[zeebedee]

Brock turns once more, and he smiles. "Don't you have Surge to worry about? I'll catch up with you later, and if you beat me in a gym match, I'll show you all the ups and downs of Mt. Moon." He said before continuing down the road. The day is new and Chulu is already bright and excited, facing towards Vermillion and watching the larger bird pokemon fly in the crisp morning sky, whilst the other pidgey, spearow, taillow and others sat huddled and perched on the branches of massive trees-subsequently many grass pokemon finding shelter under it's umbrella as well.

Seems like a good day to fight Lt. Surge

[DUNCE]

i'll take that idea and head towards where Lt. Surge is, knowing that i don't want to even slightly wear Chulu out before an important match, i'll pass up the other pokemon, or rather, chunks of XP with wings, and enjoy myself, walking to my inevitable bout

[zeebedee]

Tamekuri and Chulu entered the already lively Vermillion city. The buildings looked suited to the marine environment, their thatches and docks welcoming and exciting to one whom spent so much time in industrial Saffron. There was a cave near the entrance, but a man seemed to block the way. A lot of excitement was divided between Lt. Surge's gym and a dock stretched out farthest of all, but the only one that was empty.
