A Bit of Training Never Hurt.

George walked into Shadowhue. He had been here the other day but that was to rescue a Murkrow. George wasn't with his partner this time. He decided to train a bit. He would've gone to the dojo but he didn't want to spend the money. Either way, he was here.

Within the forest, Monty the Spiritomb was looking up a tree that was reached up to cover the area. What kind of creatures lived up there? They'll be good to prank nonetheless. "Kehehe." Ignoring the foreboding whispers he could hear around him, Monty began extend his neck to have his "head" reach into the branches above. As he exteneded his neck further, his rock began to float upward as he closed to his limit of reach. "Geh, we bet we could reach more if we got stronger. At least this will work for now, mehehe." After a few seconds, he had reached the branches. Peering above the leaves, he came upon nothing. No really, there wasn't anything there besides more leaves. Monty's face grew into confusion at this, but quickly grew into frustration as he snapped his "head" to look around the branches. He then gave out a loud growl of the sound of whirring orbs as his "head" rapidly swirled and eventually formed into the shape of a small tornado.

George heard a growl. "Huh? Well then, that's the quickest I've ever heard a growl in a dungeon." George wasn't the type to be scared. He learnt a lot while exploring. He looked around however. He wasn't sure if it would come out but he kept a sharp eye out.

Monty brought his head back down from the branches while he let it tremble. Looking downwards, he noticed a orange weasel making its way through the trees. That'll have to make up for a lost chance. Giving a smile, he then gently lowered his rock to the ground and went back into it after the weasel passed. Upon that, he used shadow sneak to merge his shadow with the weasel's as he crept after the said weasel.

George thought something was different. He sensed another being but he thought nothing of it. There were no pokemon nearby. George kept walking. Hoping to train a bit. His partner being about 3 level higher than him, he really needed to catch up. It was a bit dangerous coming to Shadowhue alone but it'll do.

Secure from the weasel's presence, Monty began to chat to himself quietly. Harnessing his energy, he projected his voice to come from multiple areas. Monty kept his pace as he and continued his spying. It quite fun to see how people reacted to his spooks and pranks. Especially those who got scarred stiff. Monty openly laughed at the thought and took the opportunity to use Shadow Sneak to come right in front of the weasel. At that moment, Monty came out of his rock. "Gyiiiooo!!!" The Spiritomb couldn't wait to see the weasel's reaction.

"Okay... You do know if someone were to go to Shadowhue they'd be expecting something to scare them. At least I do. Now then..." George jumped back and prepared himself to fight. "Are you a friendly, I don't mean that in a whole "lollipops and rainbows!" kind of deal more like will you try to kill me?" George's mind was a bit elsewhere to get spooked.

Monty gave a growl at the weasel's response. Faking expectancy was one thing, but this weasel was clearly unmoved by his scare! Glaring at the ground, the Spirtomb's head swirled faster and faster as it seemed to expand. A moment later, he brought his "head" back down to normal size and looked up to the weasel. "I haven't been having a good time here, and the one pokemon I found all day isn't even unnerved by my prank...Keke, but if I'm friendly, you'll understand if I do this!" At that last word, Monty used his Shadow Sneak to strike directly at the weasel, eager for the attack to hit.

Instead of jumping back George went straight on towards the Spiritomb to hit him with an Aqua tail. Aqua tail was a fast move to use, plus Monty was a Ghost type. If George were to try to jump back out of the shadow it could've caught up with him. "Trying to hit me eh? I came here to train, not mess around with a Spiritomb trying to scare me." George was trying to act brave. It could help his self-esteem(although his almost never goes down). "Sure are friendly..."

The Aqua Tail hit the Spiritomb square in the "face", although it looked like the attack went right through him. As it did not hit the Monty's rock, the attack only gave a short jolt of pain for him. "Yowch, ahaha! Well, as a friend, you should be able to tolerate me in a bad mood too, heh." Monty replied cooly, launching his "head" backward and attacking the landing weasel with Pursuit. The Spiritomb's mood was already getting better, now that he was able to vent his anger to someone.

George was hit with the pursuit. "Well then... That was a bit unexpected. There is a better way to take your anger out however. Attack the more evil pokemon here." George said while using another Aqua Tail.

The Spiritomb received another scruff to the "face" as the weasel went through him once more. Upon hearing the weasel's words though, Monty's "mouth" grew into a impossibly contorted grin. "Well...why should I? I'm having a better time of taking my frustration out on you." Instead of using Pursuit again, Monty fully turned around to look at the weasel, and the two made eye contact, a bright light shot out of the Spiritomb's eyes and swirled around the weasel as Monty used Confuse Ray. Monty started to give out a laugh, but was cut short when a pokemon dashed out of the bush, enraged at all the commotion the two fighting pokemon were causing.

This dice is not existing.

A weedle came out of the bushes. George thought he saw Three of it but it was just the confusion at work. He took a guess at where the right one was and used a sonic boom. He saw all three of the weedle figures in his eyes fall backwards, telling him it was a hit.

It was just a Weedle. The weasel was able see through its confusion at that moment, judging by how it successfully hit the Weedle with a Sonic Boom. Not that the Weedle itself mattered. This may turn out to be funner day than Monty thought. "Nice shot!" Monty said in the middle of giggling, before striking at the weasel with Shadow Sneak. By then though, the Weedle had stood back up on its legs and shot at the two with Poison Sting, so the weasel would have to take both attacks.

George felt the poison enter his body. However he already had that covered. He saw the three images of Monty get hit with it too. It would be more of a problem for him. George also saw he was using Shadow Sneak. But which one was the real one? George went to instead of attacking. Jumping forwards past the shadow sneak. If he couldn't hit him, he was doomed and if h moved backwards he was doomed. The only problem now was that he was right next to the real Monty and didn't know it.
