"Ha Ha! Mock Me Now!" (-Ramus)

[Phayt]

Alex's eyes widened in shock, shoulders drooping and mouth dropping. Water Pulse?

"Cu?"

SPLOOSH!!!

Ramus bounced a few feet before landing hard on the ground. He struggled to his feet, and was about to go again when Alex whistled to him.

"No! Ramus, return!"

Ramus frowned, but dragged himself back to Alex's side. The trainer eyed the Mareep with confusion. What kind of pokemon was this? "Go, Sparx!"

The pokeball bounced once before the previously caught Elekid was thrown out into the world. He looked around before spying the Mareep ahead of him. His head sparked, and he released a Swift attack.

[Kris]

The Mareep was pushed by the force of the water into a nearby wall. It grunted and managed to break free. It quickly used Thundershock.

[Phayt]

“Use quick attack to dodge and attack Sparx!”

“Kid!” The Elekid rushed forward and- WINK!

-dissappeared, as he had with his previous fight with Ramus. He reappeared to the Mareep’s left, trying to crash into it with his left shoulder.

[Kris]

The Mareep winced as the Elekid attacked it. It quickly regained itself and used Cotton Spore. The attack should lower the Elekid's speed by a lot.

[Phayt]

Sparx sneezed, and felt his speed lower due to the Cotton Spore. He growled- that wasn’t very nice! He ran a little- far slower than he used to be- to get away from the Mareep and to have a better chance of dodging attacks.

“Use Swift! It can’t dodge that!”

Sparx nodded, and fired the star-shaped ray at the fluffy Pokemon, head sparking with electricity.

[Kris]

This time the sheep was able to dodge it. It unleashed a Swift of its own.

[Phayt]

The Elekid winced, struck by the Swift, but managed to keep his ground. His eyes narrowed and he grunted, head sparking once more as he suddenly released a Thundershock, and electricity racing from between the prongs and firing with a bang, knocking Sparx back.

[Kris]

The Mareep took the attack it not doing to much damage. It quickly used Cotton Spore again.

[Phayt]

Sparx rolled to his feet, glad to see his attack landed, head sparking again. However, when the Cotton Spore was unleashed again, the Elekid used his quick attack not to attack, but to get away and dodge it to protect his speed stats.

Afterwards, he sent another swift towards the Mareep again, smirking.

[Kris]

The Mareep was knocked into the wall. It fell to the floor in a slump, unconscious.

[Phayt]

Sparx stayed a ways back, head still sparking- he’d been here long enough to realize that this one could be playing dead. He turned to Alex and waited for her to tell him what to do. She held up her hand.

“Just wait, wait Sparx.”

Alex watched the Mareep, making sure it really was unconscious. And if it were, there was no way she’d catch it- this Mareep was a great fighter, and deserved to live here where’d it had learned so much.

Well that and she was sure Ramus was still quite unhappy about the whole ‘tricky Water Pulse’ thing…

[Kris]

The Mareep didn't move. Didn't you want to catch it? It looks like it had wanted to go with you.

[Phayt]

Well, Alex thought it over, holding a Pokeball in her hand. Ramus huffed, nodding his head and gesturing like “Whatever…” Sparx’s head sparked happily- it had been a good fight! The creature was truly worthy of being caught! Of course, Alex didn’t really notice that, but instead thought ‘Well, any Mareep that knows Water Pulse is definitely a good creature to have!’

So she threw the Pokebal.

[Kris]

The pokeball sucked the Mareep in. It rocked violently 3 times and stopped.

You caught a Mareep!

[Phayt]

((Grief… all these Pokemon are stronger than Ramus! XD Poor, poor Ramus. Even type-advantage it robbed of him. *Giggles and points and a pouting Cubone*))

Alex smiled and watched as Sparx walked over and picked up the pokeball, examining it before walking back and offering it to his trainer. Alex took it from him, gratefully. “Thank you, Sparx.”

Ramus crossed his arms, shaking his head in disbelief at was what going on. First Voltorbs, then water-move knowing Mareeps! What was the world coming to?
