Some Supply Gathering In The Dark.

First topic message reminder :

Aaron traversed though the Entrance of Shadowhue Forest, a little tired from the small journey he had to endured. Silverdawn is probably wondering where he was, considering he was all alone. Thankfully, Aaron had made sure to let one of his Guildmates know to tell her about it and not to worry. Simply put, Aaron is in need of supply for the next time he and his partner travel. Sure, he could ask Silverdawn for some stuff like Oran berries, but honestly? They both would exhaust their supply real quick that way and they would be in deep trouble. The Forest supposed to be really dark around him at this point. Being blind however, isn't going to affect the little Deino in any shape or form. In fact, Aaron has gotten more used to navigating thanks to Silverdawn. The Echolocation thing is still rather hard for him, but he's at least trying.

Making his way though the forest, Aaron sighed a little. Was it a good idea to travel alone? Aaron and Silverdawn are a team now, so she have the right to be with him. Then again, Aaron is just getting supplies, so he should be back in no more then an hour or so. Still, he hoped that Silverdawn isn't too awfully mad with him. Funnily enough, he imagined her and how she's mad about him not going to Pecha Forest, the more safer Dungeon then around here. The reason he chooses here then Pecha Forest, is because Aaron have heard that one of those special scarf Silverdawn let him barrow is Around Shadowhue Forest. So, Aaron figured why not.

Like he keep telling himself, this isn't going to take no more then an hour.

"Right, don't hold anything back." Aaron took a deep breath, focusing strongly at his opponent. He may blind compared to the Charmander, but he definitely had more experience in fighting. Aaron charged at the Stantler, teeth barred. With a chomp, Aaron almost bit into the feral Pokemon, only for it to jump backwards from the the attack. In retaliation, the Stantler lifted it legs and slammed it on Aaron. Luckly, it missed before he had the chance to dodge. Aaron used the opportunity to bit into the Stantler's legs, a cry coming out of it mouth. Grunting in frustration, the Stantler's eyes glowed green, and a yawn came out of the Deino's mouth.  fatigue washed over his mind and body. Soon, the Deino lets go of the stantler's leg and slumped to the ground, trying in vain to keep himself awake. "Ah... Come on... I just... Zzz." Aaron was fast asleep, completely vulnerable to the Stantler's attacks. The Stantler kept stomping on the dark/dragon type, grunting in pain in his sleep while it was happening.

After the fourth stomp however, did Aaron shot his head up and forced himself to jump away from the fifth stomp. Aaron doesn't look as well as he hoped, being bruised in four different areas on his back. He was breathing heavily, looking as if he could stagger from the pain he was having. Those stomps, however  isn't enough to stop Aaron. "Alright you bastard, I hope your ready for this!" With growl, Aaron charged up his Dragon rage, Running full speed at his target to make it look like he was about to bite the Stantler. The feral Pokemon did what Aaron hoped, jumping backward from his "biting" Attack. "With a battle cry, Aaron fired his draconic orb at the Stantler with little time to react. The Statler was blasted and fell within seconds, struggling to get up.

While that was going on, The Charmander fell back in fear. using that as an opportunity, the spider pokemon uses it claws and swiped at the fire type rapidly.

Hidon growled as he was forced to stumble back in fear. A moment later, however, the Ariados pressed its advantage and the Charmander had to let himself be distracted from Aaron's struggles with the Stantler. He growled and tried to back away and avoid the claws, but he was much too slow. The spider Pokémon slashed its claws across his body multiple times, with each time resulting in a grunt of pain from the Charmander's mouth. At this point, he desperately wished he knew how to use his Ember attack. He opened his mouth, as though preparing to launch some flames...but nothing emerged. One more slash from the Ariados, though, and Hidon found himself getting thrown hard onto his back at the Bug-type Pokémon's feet.

Geez...this was humiliating. A fire-type like himself losing a battle to a Bug Pokémon just like this. He had to get back up and keep fighting. If he didn't win this battle, he'd be in some big trouble. And he'd never let himself live it down. At that moment, he realized something. Aaron was fast asleep, getting Stomped over and over by the Stantler. Hidon wanted to help, but was cut off as the Venomoth flew down in front of him and unleashed a loud, screeching Supersonic in his direction. Thankfully, he was able to back away and remain unaffected by the move. Still, he wished he could get behind it and help Aaron.... And to make things worse, the Venomoth had taken his attention away from the Ariados, who was now facing a distracted Charmander.

The Stantler has gotten up, despite the beating it received. This earned a chuckle from Aaron. This was a good work out, really fun too."Your good... But this ends now!" Aaron charged at the Stantler, teeth barred. "Get ready for our finale!" Aaron Chomped down on the Stantler's chest, surprising it. This give Aaron an opportunity to fire his Dragon rage at point-blank range. The Big Horn Pokémon repelled backwards, knocked out before he even hit the ground. Rubbing the back of his neck, Aaron gave off a small grin. "How you holding up Fire type?"

The Ariados's shadow suddenly inches closer to Hidon, going under his legs. Suddenly a huge shadow poped out of the ground and slammed it body into the Charmander before the Venomoth could do anything.

Before Hidon had been able to stumble away like he wanted to, something different and unexpected happened. The Ariados' shadow had rushed along the ground, sneaking right under his own two feet without him realizing it. And then, a moment later, the shadow erupted from the ground and slammed into his body. He let out a cry of shock and pain as the Shadow Sneak attack struck and he stumbled straight into the Supersonic. "RNGH!" he grunted, quickly sinking down to one knee, raising his arms to his head in a desperate attempt to block out the disorienting sound. At this point, he could no longer make out anything Aaron was doing or saying, so he did not respond to the Deino's words.

The Venemoth, after successfully hitting Hidon with its Supersonic, turned around so that it could face the Deino. It noticed the Stantler go down and that now he was ready to be struck down. As the Dragon-type Pokémon asked the Charmander how he was doing, he was already unleashing his next move. His eyes were glowing a soft blue, attempting to mentally Disable his opponent's most recent attack.

Hidon, meanwhile, now under the influence of a Confusion status, could only stumble backward dizzily. He tried to shake his vision clear and focus on the Ariados...but that was rather difficult when the entire world was spinning around him.

That grunting meant that the fire type wasn't doing so well. The Ariados and the Venemoth must of done something to him. That also means that they'll target Aaron too. "Alright Fire type here I-" Aaron thought felt strange for some reason... like he want to try a move, yet can't... THE VENEMOTH! It must of used his disable to prevent Aaron from using his recent move! Dragon rage was the last move he used too. However, Aaron didn't felt angry nor scared. In fact, Aaron was laughing! "Well now, this has gotten a lot more interesting. I love it when I get handicapped; Its fun and good training." Aaron laughing ceased and a grin came upon his face as he took a deep breath, focusing. "Lets be serious here. I may be injured, and you got rid of one of my useful attack until I get stronger, But Don't think I'm easy to beat because of that."

With that, Aaron sprinted, teeth barred. As soon as he reached the Venemoth however, Aaron went past him and head straight towards the Spider-like Pokemon.

The Venomoth kept its attention on Aaron as the Disable worked its magic. the Ariados had virtually laid claim to Hidon at this point, so it may as well take on the Deino. Plus, it had a strong move at its disposal that was also super effective type-wise. It may as well get abused. However, it hesitated when it realized that Aaron did not seem concerned at all about the loss of a strong move. Instead, the Deino laughed about it. That put the Bug Pokémon off for a moment, unsure whether he should attack or not. If this guy was actually enjoying this situation, perhaps there wasn't something quite right with him. However, it soon became apparent that he was going to need to fight...and quickly.

The Venomoth took to the air, flying closer to the canopy as Aaron charged toward him. However, the Deino's velocity did not change, even after he moved well out of his reach. then...was it not the target? when it realized what was going on, it spun around in place, flapping its wings for a moment in a graceful Quiver Dance. It then suddenly rushed back down using its buffed speed in an attempt to slam its body into the Deino's side and away from where the spider Pokémon was battling Hidon.

"Urgh..." Hidon groaned, struggling to stay focused in his confused state of mind. However...he soon found what he was looking for. He smirked slightly. "I-it'll take more than this to keep me down!" he shouted confidently. He then dashed forward, aiming straight for the Ariados before him. As he charged, the draconic aura began to form around him again as he tried to slam his Dragon Rush attack as powerfully as he could into the spider Pokémon's body.

...Unfortunately for the Charmander, his world spun around in his mind for a moment as he was beginning his charge. Instead of striking the Ariados, his body ended up slamming powerfully into a tree to its right side, causing him to rebound off of it and stumble back, taken aback by the recoil provided by the sturdy tree.

Aaron ran faster and faster, making sure he get to the Ariados before the Venomoth can get to him. That, however proved fruitless, as the Venomoth gain extra speed and tackle the Deino down. Aaron cried in pain as he tumbled head first into the ground. "Ow..." Aaron don't think he can take much more of the abuse, After all, he's has been stumped on repeatedly early on. The Venomoth is a bigger threat, But the Ariados is targeting Hidon And the by the sound of it, The fire type sound confused. Aaron painfully got himself back to his feets and once again charged at the Spider Pokemon.

The Ariados was caught off-guard when The Charmander lunged at him with a fist that glowed blue, only for the fire type went off course and stucked the tree. The Spider Pokemon Chuckled as Hidon Was repelled back from the tree. Of course, The Spider Pokemon failed to realize that Aaron was really close by, electric sparking out of his mouth.

Hidon groaned as he stumbled back from the tree, taken aback by the sudden turn. He had sworn that he was charging straight for that Ariados. But somehow, he had ended up slamming into a tree instead. And to make things worse, he could hear the spider-like Pokémon chuckling at him. He thought this was funny! He growled and shook his head, trying to clear his spinning vision from the Confusion. "Y-you little..." he grumbled, clenching his fists. "Why don't you come here and show me what you've got in my face, huh?" He certainly didn't want to risk charging forward and embarrassing himself again...

Meanwhile, the Venomoth seemed to flutter joyfully for a moment as it was successful in throwing the Deino to the ground. Clearly, he was still rather tired from his struggles against the Stantler before. However, it seemed like this Pokémon was not about to give up on charging that Ariados. And it did not plan on allowing him to completely ignore it. So, it rushed forward again...this time, however, it merely attempted to fly in the Dragon-type's path in an attempt to cut him off. It would then emit that all-too-familiar buzzing noise, utilizing its Bug Buzz attack once again, hoping to cause the Dark-type some serious pain that would drive him back.

Aaron was so close he could almost smell the spider right in front of him. He just need to a little closer, just a little close... That flapping noise. Its isn't behind him anymore, in fact it was right in fron- "GAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! THE NOISE! Its like listening to a thousand of beedrills swarming at him at once. It was Pure Torture! Aaron slowly fell to his stomach, he was in too much pain to deal with this now. Aaron tired his best to block off the noise, he tried covering his ear, he tried banging his head on the floor, but all of it proved to be in vain as the Deino lay there helplessly. "S-stop..." He can't just give up all of a sudden. "I said stop..." Aaron slowly picked himself off the grass, determination overcame the Deino's mind. "I SAID STOP!!!!!" Suddenly, a light purple like orb that was previously locked, came out of Aaron's mouth and head towards the Flying bug. With the last strength he have left, Aaron collapse to the ground. He hope he hits... He need to rest, to recover from all the damage he receiving back there. "Fire type... you can win this... I... I need to rest... Heheheh... Aaron was still Conscious, However he would be incapacitated for the time being. "If you have any Oran berries... don't hesitate to use it on me OK?"

The Ariados smirked at the fire type. A fire type didn't even know any fire moves, how does he have any hope of beating the bug type? It was way to amusing, enough to toy with him. The spider Pokemon slowly made his way towards Hidon, a fear inducing face crept upon his face.

The Venomoth looked very pleased with itself as it managed to cause the Deino to finally collapse onto the ground due to its Bug Buzz attack. He had him beat. This Deino was all his now. The rest of this battle was smooth sailing in his mind. There was no way a Dark-type Pokémon like him was ever going to stand up to strong Bug-type like himself. And even better, the Deino was practically begging for him to stop. This was just perfect...and now he could continue having fun with him while he was down. Instead of stopping at the Deino's request, he instead increased its intensity. He made the sound louder and stronger than before, clearly enjoying Aaron's pain. However, instead of falling unconscious like he had expected would happen, the Deino was actually starting to push himself back up again through the obvious pain. The Venomoth was very surprised to see his resilience only grow as his attack became more painful.

Who was this guy...? He was so sure of his victory that he had failed to guard himself or even be prepared for any further struggle or attacks that might come his way. As a result, when the Deino began to form an orb in his mouth, he was completely motionless. He was a sitting duck...and when Aaron finally unleashed his Dragon Rage attack, he was struck dead-center. He let out a pained cry and was blasted backward, with his body crashing into a tree nearby and collapsing to the ground himself. And then there was no more sound of beating wings. This Venomoth was clearly not going to be getting back up anytime soon.

Hidon's eyes widened as the Ariados approached him as slowly as he did. He looked at the fear-inducing expression on his face and felt what bravery he had been feeling a moment ago melt away slightly. His expression was now sporting a very unnerved, almost fearful look. Instead of standing his ground, he took a hesitant step backward. Dammit.... Why did it have to be a spider Pokémon...? It was then that he heard a familiar voice addressing him directly. He glanced over and saw that Aaron had collapsed...but so had the Venomoth. So now it was just himself and the Ariados that were still standing. Unfortunately...he had no Oran Berries that he could pass on. It was all on him for now.

Well...if there was ever a time to try to prove himself...it would be now. He couldn't back away...he couldn't let fear take control. He couldn't disgrace his father's lessons like that. No...he needed to stand his ground and fight this fight to the end. He reached his claws up and smacked them up against the sides of his face, trying to focus himself on the task at hand. His expression changed to the determined look from before as the world stopped spinning around him. The Confusion had worn off and he was determined again. "I...I-I'm not scared of you," he said. "J-just try me!"

The Ariados Chuckled at Hidon, clearly enjoying him shifting between bravery and fear. He turn his head to where Aaron was to check up on his bug type companion. The Denio was defeated, however what he saw next surprised him. A dark type beating a bug? Heh, it doesn't matter. As soon as he defeats the fire type, He'll loot everything off their bodies. With a grin, the Ariados uttered "Gladly." In one of the most chilling voice you'll ever hear a from a bug type. The spider Pokemon then spat out his webs at the Fire type, attempting to binding Hidon from His neck, to his toes. He likes to make his victim feel helpless before knocking them out.

Hidon let out a small gulp as the Ariados continued to approach him and only seemed amused at his bravado. But he couldn't think about that. Aaron needed him to win this fight...and he didn't want to lose to a Bug-type anyway. That would be quite an embarrassing story to tell in the future. Still, the voice that the Ariados sported as it suddenly spoke to him sent a chill down his spine. The mere sound of the single uttered word caused him to freeze for a moment, unsure of how to react. And on top of that, the grin that he had was also making things difficult. He felt rooted to the spot...and as a result, was unable to avoid what was coming.

"Ack...!" he exclaimed as he suddenly found himself getting covered in what appeared to be some kind of webbing. He fell backward, tripping over the sticky substance. "Wh-what is this? G-get it off me...! Get off me!" He began to struggle immediately. he pulled, trying to use his strength to pull the webbing apart. But he would probably have a rather difficult time trying to brute force his way out of this mess...

The Ariados Crawled his way to Hidon while he was stuck in his web. Getting on top of him, The Ariados grinned at the fire type as close as he could. "You knocked out. I loot stuff." The spider Pokemon told Hidon. It was clear by the way he speaks that he doesn't know how to communicate properly. The Bug type soon got off of Hidon and preparing to knock out the fire type. A Flabebe watched on as the battle seems to be near it end. She have to help them somehow, but what could she do? "Hey... You... Come here. I know your not a threat to us... Please..." The Flabebe Look over to the Deino, How is he still conscious after all that? She snuck her way to the Deino, careful not to get notice by the spider Pokemon. When she got close, she gulped. "Listen. We need help... He needs help... I don't know how good you are at fighting... But, please..." The Denio sound seriously weak. "What can I do? I can't fight him all by myself!" the Flabebe protested. "All I need you to do is..." Aaron whispered his plans to her ear, making sure he was quite enough so the Spider type won't hear. "Got that?" "I think so. I'll do my best." She whispered. sneaking her way towards the Spider Pokemon.

Hidon struggled desperately with the webbing he had been caught in. But no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't seem to break free rom the sticky substance. To make things worse, he could see the Ariados slowly crawling toward him while he struggled so uselessly. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to do anything as the Ariados crawled up to him and on top of him. He felt the spider Pokémon's weight bearing down on top of his body and he cringed slightly when the Ariados grinned at him in his face. And then he heard what the spider Pokémon had to say to him. He did not look surprised at the threat, but he did look slightly fearful. It was very unnerving to have a spider Pokémon like this render him so helpless, climb on top of him, and then practically gloat to his face.

The Charmander's struggles renewed after the Ariados' words were finished. And he soon felt the Ariados climb off of him, clearly attempting to prepare some kind of attack or combination against him that would render him unconscious. But it was at this point, that some words came flooding back to his mind. Sometimes, your mind would be just as useful as your strength. Sometimes, thinking outside the box was what you needed to do. He couldn't quite place where he'd heard he advice at this moment, but he didn't care.

He needed an alternative way to break free from this webbing...but how? That's when it hit him. He cast a quick glance down at his tail, which was laying on the ground underneath him. the tail flame was not shining as brightly as it had earlier, due to his injuries in this battle, but it should hopefully do. He desperately tried to twist it around as much as he could to get the flame pressed up against the webbing. He wasn't sure what the result of this would be...but it would be his best bet to break free from his ensnarement without outside help.

The Fairy type gulped as she got closer to the Ariados. She remember the plan that the Deino gave her, though to be frank, she isn't to fan of it. However, if she wants to help them, she gotta do it. The spider raised his Claws, ready to unleash his unending Fury Swipes. However, just as soon as his claws was inches into Hidon's face, he was whipped on his back. This caused him to grunt in annoyence and glared at the Flabebe. Since he was resistant to grass type moves, combined by the fact the Flabebe wasn't really strong, The whip was just an annoyance. The Flabebe gasped and quickly fled though the bushes. "Come back! You pay!" The spider Pokemon said as he chased her down. Aaron plans worked, but now he needs to help her. slowly getting up, Aaron look back at Hidon He could smell the web surrounding the Charmander's. "You can get out of that right? I need to help her."
