Being blind sucks.

First topic message reminder :

A bewildered Deino wandered around aimlessly in Pecha forest, muttering and cursing to himself. It would seems he's searching for something. "Argh! Where is it? Where's that stupid exit?" Frustrated, he laid down on his stomach to collect his thoughts. "I Really wish I was a Hydreigon, maybe then I could able to see where I'm going." The Deino just sat there for awhile, figuring out how to navigate his way out of the forest. Walking around aimlessly wasn't going to fix the situation, especially when he's blind. So how is he going to find his way out?

"Maybe someone can help me? There gotta be someone here. Then again, calling for help will sure to attract Outlaws." Aaron, the Deino, had a perplexed look on his face. Eventually, he got up on all four of his hind legs as he figured that if he does encounter a bandit, or anything else dangerous, he might as well fight them. Considering that as training, he began to wander again, this time calling out to someone. "Hello? Can someone help me get out of here?"

Silverdawn didn't let go of the Murkrow as they landed on the forest floor, and instead powered up her tail with a dark, poisonous-purple hue. She then slammed it into the Murkrow's side, causing the bird to give another cry of pain before going limp from the poisons coursing through its body. Silverdawn then uncoiled herself from the bird and headed back towards the deino.

Aaron nodded as the Murkrow cry in pain. As the Ekan slithered towards He asked, "So I'm assuming you beaten him?" Aaron sighed and laid on his stomach. "Too be honest, I was hoping for a challenge. But I have to admit, Dragon Rage is one of the useful moves early on Against weaker Pokemon." Deino chucked for a bit before continuing. "But it usefulness will degrades after I get stronger, since most of my moves can out damage Dragon Rage. So, what were you about to say?" He stretched his limbs for a bit, relaxing from the excitement.

Silverdawn shook her head. "I don't know... Let me think about it some more, ok? But I'll give you a few pointers about being blind: keep your senses open." She said. "For example, I can tell that we're not completely out of the woods yet when it comes to enemies. There's a couple Sudowoodo over the rise there, but I'm not sure if they're gonna attack. There's also an Aipom in the tree above me. I can hear it chattering; can't you? And the sudowoodo... well, that's something you wouldn't notice, since I only know because I can feel the vibrations of their bodies since they are rooted in the soil."

And the sudowoodo... well, that's something you wouldn't notice, since I only know because I can feel the vibrations of their bodies since they are rooted in the soil."

Well the sense part was obvious. but still, The Deino need to be more aware about his environments. now that she mention the Aipom, he does hear the chattering. he can't exactly make it out, but he's sure it wasn't good. He can also hear some bush rustling, maybe it was the sudowoodo the ekan mentioned. "Well if that the case, I'm sure that I can find them when we fight. hopefully they're more challenging."

The moment the Deino stood by up, he could tell one of the feral was attempting to attack Aaron from behind, It shouting as he attacks really help with that. In retaliation, the Deino sidestepped out of the way, and tackled the Nidorino. The feral skiddedd across the floor with a cry of agony. However, he picked himself off the dirt, growling in frustration. "A little tip, shouting behind your enemies is the worst way you can sneak attack them." He wasn't teasing or being cocky. But the next time he fight this Pokemon, he hopes he can learn from that mistake.

Aaron however, didn't feel right. in fact, he could feel a bit of pain on his side as he tackled the Nidorino. Ignoring it, he focus his attention on the Nidorino.

Silverdawn hissed, backing far away from the Nidorino that had attacked the Deino. Her muscles tensed up and she backed away quickly, fear coming off of her in waves. "Get it away, get it away!" She hissed in panic. "Watch out for it's... poison..." she shuddered in remembered pain. It had been the bad reaction between a Nidorino's poison and her own poison that had robbed her of her sight, and now she was terrified, forgetting everything in her fear of the pokemon that was now attacking the Deino. "Get it away!" she cried in fear. "Get away..." she whimpered, shooting up one of the trees in her fear, wrapping her coils around the higher branches, trying to get away from the pokemon.

"Get it away, get it away! Watch out for it's... poison..." Of course, posion. that why Aaron doesn't feel any good, he must of been struck by the Nidorino's poison point when he tackled him. "Get it away! "Get away..." "Urg... Your afraid of a Poison type? Aren't poison type immune to poison?" Aaron asked ekan, keeping his focus on the feral. "As for you, you poisoned me huh?" The deino painfully laugh for a while the poison taking it effect. this confused the Nidorino. "I love this handicap, its force me to think fast without panicking. Besides, this place is called the pecha forest for a reason right? I think I'll be fine.

Silverdawn continued hissing in panic. "Y-you don't u-understand!" she cried. "N-nidorino c-caused m-my blindness! All... n-nidorino's... fault..." She continued to shake, clinging to the bark of the tree pitifully. "Y-you'd be traumatized too if y-you'd had your sight stolen f-from you, instead of being blind since birth!"

"I guess that would be true..." He muttered in his breath. "Alright then, I hope you make a good opponent." Aaron kept focusing, taking a deep breath about it, As the Nidorino charge at the Deino. When The feral has gotten close, Aaron sidestep again and fired his dragon rage attack. The Nidorino jumped out of the way, only to be shocked as Aaron bit him with his electric fangs. The Nidorino collapse into the ground, hurt and exhausted. The poison however is surging though the Deino's system. He needs to find a pecha berry fast.

Silverdawn hissed in panic, realizing that the Deino had collapsed. The nidorino had collapsed as well, but there was no way she was getting down from the tree until she was sure it wasn't going to get up again. She dithered for a moment before remembering the bag she carried on her back scales. She dug through the bag and grabbed a pecha berry, dropping it onto the Deino's head. "T-there! T-that's a-a Pecha Berry! E-eat it, q-quick!" she shouted from above.

Aaron laid there, the poison going though the little Deino like a plague. I need a pecha berry fast... suddenly, something fell on Aaron's head. "T-there! T-that's a-a Pecha Berry! E-eat it, q-quick!" Aaron shock his head, knocking the berry down in front of it, then he continued to consume it. "Thanks, Just give me a moment, I need to rest for a bit. You can get down though, I don't think he'll get up anytime soon." The poison is certainly purging away from Aaron system, but he needs to rest for a bit.

Silverdawn slithered down from the tree reluctantly, feeling exhausted from the fighting and her panic. She dug through her bag for an Oran Berry and ate it, feeling the energizing juices restoring her energy. She sighed. "Uh... sorry for freaking out there... I just... have this really bad phobia of Nidorino or Nidorina. There was a one in a million chance that the Nidorino's poison would react badly to my own natural poison, but when that Nidorino spat its poison in my eyes, I got really unlucky. Typical that the one time I had poison in my eyes, it would react badly." Silverdawn stated ironically.

Aaron nodded as he listen to the Ekan story. when she finished, Aaron gave her a reassuring smile. "I'm sorry that happened to you. For both of our sakes, let get out of here." Aaron got up on his four hind legs, feeling slightly better now that the poison gone. "Lead the way" After all of the things that happened, he felt a faint appreciation and understanding for the Ekan. "I haven't gotten your name, I'm Aaron."

Silverdawn blinked her blind eyes, surprised to remember that they hadn't even introduced themselves yet. "I'm always forgetting about names, forgive me. My name is Silverdawn." She replied. "It's nice to meet you, Aaron. And... I suppose, after everything, I could try to teach you echolocation. But I make no promises as to my ability to teach," she added humorously.

She slithered along the path, talking as she moved. "Like I was saying previously, the most important thing about being blind is listening to your other senses. You'll never learn echolocation if you can't get in tune with your other, already heightened senses." She stopped in a clearing. "Here, stand or sit still for a moment and just let your senses tell you everything they can about what's going on around you." She said, not mentioning the tangela that was digging at the ground about fifteen feet away. It didn't seem bothered by the two pokemon, and Silverdawn wanted to see if Aaron could use what she had already tried to teach him to sense the pokemon that was nearby.

Aaron walked alongside Silverdawn, learning her name and listening about the use of echolocation. "Alright, Like this?" Aaron sat on his rear, trying to hear whats around him. "There's some leaves rustling in the background... the sound of the wind... And... If I listen closely, It sound as if some Pokemon is digging at the earth..." Who was it that was digging at the dirt? Usually its a ground type doing that... "I... I don't know who it is though... I think it some sort of ground type..." Aaron had a perplex look on his face, trying to figure out who or what is trying to dig.

Silverdawn nodded her head absently. "Close. There is indeed a pokemon digging at the dirt. It's not a ground type though. It's actually a Tangela. But that's hard to tell from just listening. I can smell its scent. You'll find that each pokemon species has a different, distinct scent. But even if you don't recognize the specific species, you can generally tell what the type of the pokemon is by its scent. Water pokemon have a kind of salty, briny smell; grass pokemon smell ... well, like grass, and so on. Poison pokemon usually smell either sickly sweet or sulfury rancid." Silverdawn described.
