Viridian Forest

Exz walks to the Shinx...with a look full of pity on his face. He takes out a pokeball that the hiker gave to him earlier. He looks at it before lightly tackling Shinx with it. Shinx gets shrouded and eaten by a red light, and that red light sinks into the pokeball, getting consumed together with Shinx. The pokeballs starts to shake on the ground for three times before it stops. He grabs it from the ground using his hand and stands up...staring straightly at the pokeball.

"Don't worry Shinx. I will take care of you. You won't anymore suffer like what you've experienced from your past trainer."

After that statement, Exz smiles before continuing his journey. He looks at his map that the hiker gave to him while he's walking, finding the next nearest city here in Viridian Forest. After some seconds, Exz finds out that he'll arrive at another city named Pewter at the exit of Viridian Forest.

"Heracross, The Single Horn Pokemon. With its Herculean powers, it can easily throw around an object that is 100 times its own weight. Though usually docile, if disturbed while sipping honey, it chases off the intruder with its horn. This Pokemon is usually sighted around the Johto Region and it is a rarity to see it anywhere else."

"Be careful Treecko, it's much, much stronger than you are!"

But Treecko again, chose not to listen to JaK. Charging head forth at the wild Heracross and trying to nail it with a pound attack. Heracross ducking under Treecko and using reversal to fling Treecko up into the air. Before zipping up there itself and hitting it with a strong headbutt, that knocks Treecko into the top of a tree. Where it hangs from a branch by it's belly, looking surprised by Heracross's power.

"Wow I could feel that hit over here. Treecko, if you keep refusing to listen to me, you're gonna get creamed again. Just give me one chance...ONE and I promsie you, well win this and you can eat all the sap you want PLEASE!"

Treecko thinks about the offer and was going to just ignore JaK again, but then flashes of it's last pokemon enconuter fill it's head and it nods to JaK. Seeing the herculean like pokemon flying towards it.

"Ok then, quick use agility by jumping from branch to branch and hurry!"

As Heracross would reach Treecko and go for a horn attack, the gecko like pokemon would dash out of the way, leaving a white line in it's wake. This movemnt was so fast, it caused Heracross to crash into the tree! The bug pokemon shaking off the hit, then attempting another, once it located Treecko, but again Treecko would zip away. The pokemon continuing this process until Heracross was very dizzy from bumping it's head over and over. Then while it was dazed, JaK saw his chance to go in for the kill.

"Now use your pound attacck, while it's groggy!"

Treecko would then speed hop, branch by branch to the dazed Heracross's location. Before doing a full 360 degree turn and swiping it's tail across it's face. Which in turn, sends the wild Heracross tumbling down to the ground below. Where it crashes into the forest floor, seemingly injured...

"Yes it worked, here goes nothing. Pokeball, GO!"

JaK would then lunge a pokeball at the downed Heracrosss and watch it shake violently. Treecko also watching from above, as it looked like it would break out, but didn't and eventually stopped moving making the locking sound. Thus securing JaK's first attempt at a capture as a success.

"ALLLLLRIGHT!!! I did it, I caught Heracross!"



Treecko a bit annoyed by this victory cheer, would just put his twig back in his mouth and fold his arms. Thinking he's the one who really did all the work and as it thought this, JaK would grab the pokeball, holding it up. A very wide smirk upon his face.

As he's walking, he starts to think again about the legendary pokemon he saw years ago -- Ho-oh. He looks up at the sky...with a serious look.

"I can't wait to see you. I know you're just there, and I know you're not a fiction. I will keep my patience, and I will find you."

He said to himself while he's walking.

After captuing Heracross, JaK wandered on with Treecko following not to close, due ito it being mad at the fact that it had to take orders from JaK, but he knew it was warming up to him or else it wouldn't havd done so. As he continued on his course though, he could here low murmurs and wondered what it was. He would continue toward the noise until he could hear clearly what what the sound was. It seemed like somebody was saying Drowzee, over and over again. Then as he peered though a bush, he could see the pokemon in question doing soemthing to Sammie and her pokemon. JaK springing into action and pointing at Drowzee.

"HEY YOU! Stop that, right now!"

Exz finds a boulder, big enough to serve as a seat for a while for people. Exz stretches before sitting down on the boulder...and putting his bag down. He takes out his water bottle, opens the mouth, and starts sipping water from it.

After drinking and satiating his thirst, Exz takes out a pack of rice balls. He starts to eat the snack slowly, while looking up at the nice and silent sky.

"Awww, gosh and I was so tired to..."

Dean and Krissy splits up when they were met at a fork in the trees. Krissy and Smoochum headed off into a chilly part of the Viridian Forest, at Smoochum's request as she loves the cold. Krissy holds her arms as she's cold, but Smoochum's Fake Tears seem to always work on her! As they head down a path they hear someone screaming! A bug catcher runs past them frantically shouting as he does so, as Krissy barely side steps and dodges being trampled over.

" RUN THEY ARE HUNGRY! "

Krissy went a little wide eyed at the yelling grown man. She figured if a grown man was scared and running, a fresh on the journey teen girl probably should turn back too.

" We're gonna turn around and go catch up with De- Where ate you going!? "

Smoochum's lips must have alerted her to something good, as she darts off through some trees, as Krissy runs after her! Krissy gets some scratches but when she finds herself on the other side of the tree she sees Smoochum smiling and waving at her with some red jelly smeared on her face from the berries she is munching down on. A hissing sound hums, as Krissy looks around nervously. Suddenly some yellow eyes pierce through the darkness all around, as Krissy begins to tremble in fear, a gang of Meowth's walk out! They don't look too happy ... as Krissy connects the dots that the tipped over bag the berries are spilled from had to have belonged to the man, who come to think of it had scarlet colored scratch marks all over him!

" Frenchie get over here quick! "

Smoochum grabs a few more berries and begins to run over to Krissy but falls down, as Smoochum are known to do! The clumbsy Pokemon goes to stand up when suddenly a large Pokemon leaps right in front of her!



The gorgeous looking cat pounces on Smoochum, pinning her to the ground! Smoochum begins to cry as Krissy quickly stumbles around to get her Dex out and hopefully get some helpful info on the Pokemon putting her baby Pokemon at risk!

PERSIAN.
Behind its lithe, elegant appearance lies a barbaric side. It will tear apart its prey on a mere whim.

Krissy begins to panic hearing that Persian is ruthless! She figures they are being defensive over the berries, and quickly yells out some advice.

" Just leave the food and maybe they'll let you go ... "

Smoochum's stubborn attitude is shown in full force, as the Pokemon puts another berry in its mouth and chews it reeeeeealllll slow right in front of Persian! The dominant feline Pokemon lifts its paw high in air ready to slash Smoochum out! Krissy winces in fear ... but opens her eyes back up as she hears a hiss, as one of the Meowth in the gang lunges forward and claws the Persian off of Smoochum. Persian hisses, and the Meowth meows back fighting for Persian to just let Smoochum go. Persian lifts her mighty paw once more and tosses it right into the Meowth's face!



Krissy gasps as the Mewoth is sent flying in air and rolling on the snow, as the other Meowth's back up in fear and stay silent. Smoochum gets up and runs over to Meowth and gives him a kiss, and nods as she's sensed he's a good guy. The Persian walks towards the two, as Smoochum stands in front of Meowth with he arms spread, as if saying you'll have to go through me first! Persian gets up in Smoochum's face and lets off a huge Roar attack. Smoochum holds her grond and opens her mouth as if to roar, but actually uses Powder Snow right into Persian's face, sending the Queen Cat back a bit. Persian walks up again and simply shoves Smoochum over and into the snow face first, out of the way. Persia lifts her paw to swipe at Meowth again but Smoochum gets up and runs and uses her butt to bump Persian over onto it's side! Krissy yells for Smoochum to Powder Snow once more! The purple Pokemon does just that, covering Persian in snow for a while, as Krissy runs over to get Meowth thinking the case is clear!

" Are you okay little kitt- AHH! "

Persian POUNCES out of the snow, pinning Krissy down onto the snow! Smoochum begins to head over to help when the attacked Meowth uses Faint Attack, appearing rights to the side of Persian, and attacks it off of Krissy! Persian gets up and it's red gem gleams before Power Gem's are shot out of it into Meowth! Krissy yells to Smoochum to use help however she can! Smoochum runs over, hand glowing a light blue, and punches Persian! Ice Punch connects! Ice Punch hits! A small clump of ice is on Persian, and quickly grows and consumes her, leaving Persian an ice cube! Krissy smiles, as Smoochum keeps her flowing hand up and turns around, showing her hand to the gang of Meowth's! The Mewoth's run, scared that if Smoochum took down their leader then they must be no match! Krissy quickly opens up her basket, which is pretty much empty now, and lays a jacket in it, then places Mewoth on top, and closes the jacket a bit, snuggling the meowing in pain Meowth in! She quickly runs off with Smoochum ( who swipes up whats left of the berries ) as they run off to find Dean and civilization to find help for Meowth!

TBC.
