A Bit of Training Never Hurt.

First topic message reminder :

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.

The weasel managed to dodge Monty's Shadow Sneak as the Weedle's Poison Sting hit the both of them. The poisonous needles battered Monty's rock and became smashed in place. That said, the weasel had also landed right in front of him. "Kehehe-cough!" That was unexpected. The pain that the needles initally gave hadn't subsided, but were rather starting to spread throughout his spirit within the rock. "Must have been poisoned". The Spiritomb looked down to the weasel, but felt too embarrassed after having his laugh cut off like to smile to it. "Err..anyhow." Monty stopped his ongoing Shadow Sneak and pulled it back, intending to hit the weasel with it from behind.

George took one of his remaining Pecha Berries from his bag. His confusion weared off. Although the Spiritomb was a mean pokemon, nobody really deserves to be poisoned. He decided to use another of his Pecha berries and tossed it to the spiritomb while trying to dodge the shadow sneak. He wasn't fast enough however.

It was an indirect hit. The weasel was knocked aside as Monty's Shadow Sneak returned his shadow to its normal form. "Kekekek-cough cough cough!" The weasel seemed to be starting to wear out, so Monty began to move his rock to have his next Pursuit deal a stronger blow. Something caught his eye in mid shift though. The weasel seemed to have thrown an object at Monty, but now on a closer inspection, he saw that it was a Pecha berry. It was quite clear what that meant; the weasel knew that Monty was poisoned, and yet actually tried to help him cure it. Monty eyed the berry and became quite. Finally, he spoke.

"....it's trying to help us. That's never happened before."

"Is it nice? Yes. Does it change anything? No. Ahaha!"

"Monty no! How can I sit here and let you pick on someone who offering a helping hand for goodness sake? He had no reason to give us this berry!"

"I have to agree with that one. Come, let's speak of this among ourselves." Monty's "head" retreated into his rock as a rumbling sound once again began to emit from the stone. The nearby Weedle made a noise, and so a harsh Shadow Sneak knocked it away. After a moment, the Spiritomb brought his "head back out.

"Keha! Sorry about that." Monty used his vapor to pick up the berry and then consumed it. "It'll only help me out! I'm still hurt though, and so are you. How about this; the next one who actually hits each other wins, aye? That way, the winner start boasting! Okay ready? 123 GO!" At that last word Monty shot at the weasel with another Pursuit.

George jumped over the Spiritomb. "Now how is that fair?" He forgot that pursuit is special towards pokemon who try to run. He turned around to see Monty right behind him. "Oh Arceus..." George quickly used a sonic boom causing both of them to sort of hit each other at once. "Ow... That didn't turn out well.."

The weasel's Sonicboom dissipated against the Spiritomb as both pokemon collided. Monty looked haughtily upon his fallen foe. "Aha, I won! That goes to show that-"

"Enough! Just, stop! I'm through with this heartless behavior of yours!" He cut himself off, looking away with a furrowed brow. "Get out of the way, I'm taking control!" The Spiritomb made a startled expression before retreating once more into the rock. He reappeared almost immediately this time. "Hey man, we're sorry you had to deal with that. Let me help you up." He quickly said, offering out some vapor as a form of a hand. "The name's Monty. What's yours?"

"George" He grabbed the "hand" and got back up. "What was that? Multiple personalities" George didn't know much about spiritombs. The only place they were near Rainfront town was on Pricklemist hill, which he wasn't allowed to explore. "Anyways... I guess we better go and leave before a friend of that weedle shows up."

"Lead the way." Monty affirmed, starting to follow the weasel. A moment later, his thoughts returned to the weasel's first question. " About the multiple personalities thing, we can't say, we frankly don't know. Sure, we all know each other, but I can't even describe anything else, it's deeper than that. Finding out the truth was one of the reasons we left Pricklemist Hill. Haven't found anything yet. What about you? Where did you come from?"

George started walking. "Oh you're from Pricklemist Hill eh? I grew up in Rainfront Town myself. I left after that huge tragedy happened. Figured it wasn't best to stay longer... Crazy things can happen fast in this world" George looked at the Spiritomb. Something about the multiple personalities seemed odd but then again multiple personalities. You can't think too much with too many.
