A trip to the shadows

First topic message reminder :

Fang walked along the path followed close by a water type Pokemon named Jet. She wondered why she had agreed to be a part of this small exploration but she decided to ignore it and try to enjoy herself for the time being. She was around the one element she liked so she was at least a but happy with what had happened even if she did beat the tar out of him before. Though he was following her now so she wondered if her was fine.

"Are you ok?" She asks Jet wondering if he was hurt from the battle before. She wasn't faking concern now like she does but there was a hint of concern behind her voice at the time.

Energy 18 (28-10)

The Paras managed to barely avoid being slashed by Fang's claws...but unfortunately for him, he was still launched off of Fang. It seemed that she was much stronger than he was, physically speaking. But that was fine...all he planned to do was get Fang's attention and keep the fight going for as long as he could. The Paras looked angrily at Fang as he landed on the ground, debating on what its next move should be. Finally, he figured it out. The Paras started backpedaling immediately. But as he moved backward, he aimed yet another Leech Seed attack at Fang, hoping to hit her to begin draining her energy. Regardless of whether he hit or not, however, the Paras would continue retreating, making his way away from the scene....

Jet's eyes widened slightly as the Paras attacked. He stepped forward, unsure if he should be helping Fang fight. He knew that, as a Fire-type, this combination Grass and Bug type Pokémon would be a piece of cake. Meanwhile, as a Water-type, he would have a hard time fighting effectively. And so, he instead hung back, away from the fight...unaware that there was another Pokémon waiting in the shadows that could come after him while Fang was preoccupied.

Fang looked at the Pokemon and then back to Jet. "Come on let's pursue" she said seeing this as a tactic. She felt like he was trying to lead them somewhere best to get this done with. She blasted the seed with flamethrower. She didn't even notice something shoot out of the darkness and attempt to wrap itself around Jets mouth. If it successfully did so it would pull the Pokemon backwards into the darkness of the tree's where Fang wouldn't be able to see him anymore.

The Paras' Leech Seed had been stopped again...but even still, it did not stop. It was very persistent, to say the least. He continued to retreat down the path and drawing Fang's attention by firing off another Leech Seed at her. If she let herself be distracted, she would get hit by his move and her energy would be as good as his.

"R-right! C-coming!" Jet replied to Fang as she informed him that they were to follow the strange Pokémon that was attacking. Personally, Jet would rather let the Pokémon flee than continue the fight...but Fang was the experienced one here. If she thought that this was the smarter decision, then who was he to attempt to argue with her? After all, he was the one who had come here to start learning from her.

Just before he could move, however, he suddenly felt a...something suddenly wrap around his mouth, even as Fang made her move down the path, chasing the Paras. "MPH!" he tried to cry out, but his voice was too muffled to make any difference. He was soon helplessly pulled back, toward the shadows...and he quickly lost sight of Fang and her reassuring flames. In a fit of panic and fear, Jet lifted his paws up and pulled at the thing around his mouth, trying to desperately peel it away from his mouth and free himself...but to no avail.

"Annoying little." Fang muttered out as she walked farther towards the Pokemon in front of her, her thought process was the fact it knew where they were and she didn't want it to sneak up on them again, plus it was kinda starting to tick her off and things should know don't do that. It was a bad idea for them and her.

Fang followed for a moment before stopping, she muttered something incoherent as she stood in the clearing for a moment assessing how much damage a flamethrower would cause, after deciding upon not really caring Fang built up the large flame inside herself to the point of overflowing, Fang then opened her mouth and fired the large flame attack right at her opponent, waiting a moment before stopping at asses how much damage she had caused to the forest, just a few burned trees and bushes, nothing major.

Fang waited to see if the Pokemon came out of where it was hiding, standing on guard she turned her head to see if Jet had anything to add to this, once she turned she saw he wasn't there anymore. "Where did he go?" Fang asked herself as she looked around.

The Paras continued scuttling away along the forest floor, not wanting to give Fang the chance to catch up to it. However, it became quickly apparent that he was not gong to have a choice in the matter. Suddenly, a Flamethrower even more powerful than before was headed right its way. Its eyes widened with fear when it realized the severity of this attack. The flames incinerated the Leech Seed it had launched yet again, but this time it posed a much more dangerous threat to it as well. It let out a small sound that displayed its fear and it desperately moved out of the way, barely avoiding the terrible flames that virtually incinerated his hiding place. It then decided that there could be no running from her at this point. So...it made its way out into the open, ready to finally do battle with the Fire-type Pokémon. Without hesitation, it fired off another small seed, aiming to use his Leech Seed once again, despite the many failed attempts. It was clearly desperate for that energy....

However, up in the canopy, another set of eyes watched the Flamethrower get dangerously unleashed on the forest. Well...that simply would not do. So, the source decided to do something about it. It slowly and quietly positioned itself so that it was standing directly above Fang...and then it began to shake. As it shook, soft, yellow spores began to fall below, hopefully making contact with Fang's body. This Stun Spore would make her a slightly less dangerous Fire-type. However, she was still a huge threat. If Fang were to look for the source of the spores, she'd find another Paras above her easily enough, with his bright orange coloration on the green background.

~~~

Jet, meanwhile, was getting dragged away through the trees, no longer able to see any sign of Fang. A cold fear suddenly gripped him as the current events were finally starting to sink in. He realized that he was being dragged away by an unknown assailant from the safety of his experienced guide. 'Wh-what's going to happen now!?' Jet couldn't help but exclaim in his thoughts as his body was dragged backwards along the grass, occasionally getting scratched by fallen sticks or bush branches.

A few seconds later, Jet found himself getting dragged into a clearing with a single, larger tree at roughly its center. If he had to guess, this was probably rather close to the heart of the Shadowhue Forest...which was a place he certainly did not want to be. However, he soon discovered the identity of his attacker. An Ariados that had fired a String Shot at him from the shadows was now exposed. But it was now conversing with what looked like...a Pinsir? It then released its webbing that it had used to drag Jet through the trees and bowed its head before stepping aside and out of its way, showing that it was obviously subservient to the Pinsir. Was it the boss of this part of the forest or something...?

Cold fear gripped Jet once again when he realized what this all meant. He'd been dragged away before a Pinsir who was apparently at least strong enough to have an Ariados at his or her disposal. Was this going to be it for him...? He began struggling as hard as he could against the webbing still keeping his mouth shut. Eventually, he was able to paw it off, but he also stumbled backward a few steps and fell onto his tail. He then looked over at the Pinsir and Ariados, wondering what they were going to do now....

Fang let out a small curse under her breath as she ran forward in hopes to try and catch up with whatever had taken Jet, she ran from where she was standing when she heard a noise behind her, turning around she saw the same Pokemon she thought she blasted all the way to ... somewhere far away that wasn't here. letting out a sigh and a small flame she looked at the Pokemon as she noticed some spores fall right where she was originally standing, afterwards they were accompanied by the same Pokemon. "Don't have time to deal with you, out of my way or else you're dead." Fang said as she clenched her claw and focused her ancient power.

Staring at both of the Pokemon one of them tried to lunge at Fang using a scratch skill, Fang tried to move out but was to focused on the attack to dodge properly and got hit in her side, letting out a sigh she brought the psychic infused rocks up and slammed them against one of the Pokemon.

Meanwhile elsewhere.

The Pinsir was going to do something, it walked forward towards Jet and made an attempt to grab it with it's large head appendages.

Situation one
If it succeeds it will then jump in the air and spin around letting go as it spins and throw Jet into the ground behind him, next to the deadly spider.

Situation two
It misses Jet and leaves itself open for an attack from the Pokemon.

The second Paras, watching from above as Fang not only avoided his attack but also managed to pelt the other Paras with the Ancient Power attack. While Fang was preoccupied with trying to deal with the first Paras, he scuttled around the tree branches and out of sight once again. Hopefully, the Charmeleon would be too focused on the Pinsir she had just attacked, as by the time he got to where he wanted to be, her attack would be just finished. He then attempted to suddenly leap down from his perch and land his body on top of Fang's. If he could, he would try to tackle her to the ground. But if his weight wasn't enough to drag her down, it wouldn't matter to him. Either way, he would then shake himself once more in another attempt to drop more spores down onto the Fire-type's body, utilizing yet another Stun Spore. It was obvious that they wanted to slow her down...and to stop a significant portion of her attacks.

~~~~~

Jet watched the Pinsir approach him, frozen in complete fear. His brain screamed at his body to move, but he couldn't budge. There seemed to be nothing he could do to combat his fears. And the intimidating approach of the powerful Pinsir only served to keep him down even more. And soon, he was paying for it. A moment later, the Pinsir's powerful pincers snapped around his body and lifted him into the air. "NGAH...!" Jet called out in pain and fear as he was lifted off of the ground with ease. He then felt the Pinsir jump and spin, throwing him to its opposite side. He cried out as he flew helplessly through the air, soon crashing into the ground at the Ariados' feet. He looked up at the Ariados as he hit the ground...and once more, froze in his fear.

The Ariados did not hesitate to assist the Pinsir. It highly doubted that the Pinsir would need the help, but it would be fun for it regardless. It then spewed more sticky webbing from his head, which slapped itself against Jet's wrists, pinning his arms firmly to the ground where they were and successfully trapping him with its String Shot.

Jet's eyes widened when his paws got pinned to the ground. He struggled with the webbing, desperately trying to pry it off of him before either the Ariados or the Pinsir could press the advantage...but in the end, his efforts were completely fruitless.

Fang was still paying attention to the enemy in hopes to try and deal with this fast, using her flamethrower once more she tried to finish this fight off only to be shocked when it managed to get out of her way. "This is just annoying." Fang said as she tried another ancient power, sadly she had failed to notice the Pokemon above her and was hit to the ground harsh, thanks to using her attack her speed and strength had gone up so she was able to throw the Paras off, sadly the damage was done and some of the spores got on her.

Getting up slowly she looked at both the Pokemon before going into a small sort of rage, she built up another flamethrower, though slower then before, and fired it once more at the second Paras, if she was lucky she'd finish one of them.

_________________________________________________________________________________

The Pinsir smiled as it walked closer to Jet, making an attempt to grab him once more to do something. If jet was grabbed he'd jump up in the air and fall slamming Jet back onto the ground with him, though some of the trees looked slightly broken, maybe one of them would fall and help Jet.

The Paras was mentally celebrating that it had managed to successfully land a Stun Spore attack. Now that the Fire-type Pokémon was paralyzed, she would find it much harder to move...and occasionally, she would be unable to move at all. That would make this fight a lot easier. But this battle was not done yet. He needed to be careful...that Flamethrower attack of hers could still deal enough damage to take them out in one shot! He felt himself get thrown off of the Charmeleon with relative ease thanks to her increased physical strength.

When the Charmeleon began to build up another Flamethrower, though, he knew exactly what to do...or what not to do, in this case. And that was to stand perfectly still. So he immediately lowered his body, crouching slightly on his legs...and then leaped upward and to the side, narrowly avoiding the flames thanks to their slower charge time. But he was not finished yet. There was still a lot that needed to be done. When he came back down, he charged forward and attempted to jab one of his pincers at Fang's stomach. He hoped to stab her slightly and drain some of her strength to add to his own reserves. His Leech Life was not a particularly powerful move...but it was still a useful one.

Meanwhile, the first Paras was hoping to use the distraction caused by the second one. He quickly crawled out from its hiding place and fired off another seed in the Charmeleon's direction. A Leech Seed was going to be very important if they wanted any chance at surviving this Fire-type Pokémon's nearly unstoppable arsenal of flame.

~~~~~

Jet struggled at the webbing that kept him pinned to the ground. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could do. He watched fearfully as the Pinsir approached him again and ensnared him with his giant pincers. He felt his body get crushed in its grip yet again and finally get lifted off of the ground. The Pinsir then leaped into the air and slammed him powerfully into the ground on his back again, causing him to cry out loudly in pain. The trees nearby shook dangerously, but remained intact.

The Ariados seemed to take notice of this immediately. It finally took its eyes off of the Pinsir's beating of the Buizel to keep an eye on it. It certainly didn't want that thing to interfere in some way...
