Pokemon RP IV

[Reiko]

As the blaziken's wrists began to blaze, an "Uh oh." was heard from the three magnemites as they tried to move in separate directions but were unable to move more than six inches in various directions before they came back together in time to take the attack together, sending them across the area, and into the berry stand, which happened to be the area that Flygon had been investigating.

"The berries, who?" She questioned as she saw the three magnets began to float up slowly barely conscious.

"You three." She growled angrily.

"Not now." The three said in unison as she fired a dragon breath sending the orbs back towards the event area, though the ended up skidding the second half of the trip never actually making it back, and currently knocked out. The dragon then grudginly began to help fix up the berry stand, believing that someone had to clean up for the magnets' trouble.

Claydol however had saw the blaziken strike out at the magnets, and sighed as he floated towards the pokemon. I apologize for that creature's behavior. They are quite irritable, and troublesome. Claydol stated in a grieved tone.

[Ninmast]

Before Blaziken could answer, Shiftry hopped up and cackled. "I'll tell ya what the problem is! Too many mouths and not enough brains!" This brought out another cackling laugh from the dark pokemon.

[Reiko]

I'm afraid that is probably true for them. Claydol replied with a mental sigh. Hopefully, they'll be knocked out for the rest of the vacation, and leave us to enjoy our time of relaxation.

[Ninmast]

"Amen to that," Blaziken answered as she turned back around.

Blaziken, show some respect, Gardevoir reprimanded her softly. That is a very sacred reference for humans.

But the fighter just shrugged. "Not many humans around this weekend, anyway."

Meanwhile, Shiftry moved down toward the Magneton and kicked it in its side. "Hey, kid, wake up ya little brat."

[Reiko]

The magnemite that had recieved the kick seemed to wake up, and a spark from him awakened the other two as they began to float shakily.

"This can't be good." The lower left one whispered.

"What is it?" The top asked, sounding slightly annoyed, as the three eyes locked onto the Shiftry.

[Ninmast]

"What is it???" Shiftry repeated as if shocked. "What is it??? You amateurs are in the presence of greatness! I, Shiftry, am everything you aspire to become!" He leaned forward, bringing up a leafed hand as if whispering conspiratorially. "And a lot better looking, too!"

[Reiko]

The three magnemites looked at the pokemon doubtfully. "And how do we know that you're really so great? The top asked doubtfully as the lower two nodded.

[Ninmast]

"Simple," Shiftry answered confidently without a moment's hesitation. "Because I've been pulling pranks for longer than you've had screws in your heads! And I'm smart enough not to let idiotic comments cut me off before I finish!"

[Reiko]

"Is that so?" The top questioned as he glanced down at the lower two.

"If that's so, prove it." The bottom right declared. "If your not all talk that is."

[Ninmast]

The Shiftry just snickered. "Prepare to see an expert at work!" He hustled off into the crowds. A few moments later, a Kangaskhan stepped on the tentacle of a rather large Tentacruel that had been ... rearranged. The resulting outcry from the water creature was followed by a spurt of sludge that missed the surprised Kangaskhan by inches, splattering all over a Bellossom and Jigglypuff that had been trying to do a song and dance. They, in turn, retaliated with a Vine Whip-slung Rollout that pegged the Tentacruel in the head, causing it to stumble back on a Pikachu that filled a whole section of the room with a Thundershock in its panic. On the fringe, a Voltorb was jarred away, flinging up and rolling around in the floor. In its volatile state, all that was required was for it to tap against the very Claydol Magneton had wanted aroused earlier, and just as everyone thought it had settled down, it detonated.

By this time, Shiftry was already back next to the Magneton, laughing hysterically at the crazy results of what he had put in motion. Not that any would be able to pin such a simple thing on him.

[Reiko]

"That...was...amazing..." The three magnets said in unison.

"Could you teach us?" The lower right asked in amazement.


*Claydol*
Claydol had only caught the tail end of the events as the jigglypuff was affected, and began to watch with dread, though he seemed to miss the voltorb until only a few seconds before it reached them. Oh no. He thought as he erected a light screen and reflect in front of him, which the voltorb hit, and the explosion incurred. Even with the barriers in place quite a bit of damage was still done, and smoke littered the area. The Claydol, being the front of the blast looked exhausted from the attack, and simply drooped in place.

[Ninmast]

"I hate it when they do that," Aggron stated in reference to the exploding pokemon as he shook his head, looking little worse for wear. "It makes my ears ring!" He chuckled as he glanced over toward the others, where Blaziken and Gardevoir were behind Salamence, who had placed himself between them and the blast. "How 'bout the rest of you?"

It seems we are fine, Gardevoir responded as she and Blaziken got out from behind the dragon.

"Yeah, Salamence was quick on his feet and covered for us." Blaziken patted the dragon on the side. "Thanks."

*Magneton*

Shiftry grinned widely as he turned back to them. "Oh, so now you believe me? What if I decided you didn't have enough faith in my abilities, hmm?"

[Reiko]

*Magneton*
"We have faith. That was simply beyond belief." The lower right stated.

"Agreed, please show us the proper way." The top said still in a state of awe.

*Claydol*
The pokemon slowly looked over the area and looked back towards the group of pokemon to ensure they were alright. This is shaping up to be a very eventful vacation. He stated to them

[Ninmast]

*Claydol*

Instead of answering the comment directly, Blaziken looked around. "Hey ... anyone see Shiftry anywhere?"

Melotic raised an eyebrow at the chicken. "You don't suppose ..."

*Shiftry*

This just made the arrogant pokemon grin all the more. "Alright, kid, rule number one!" He waved his leafy hand behind him. "Real pros only go for 110%! Anything less isn't worth the effort!"

*Off-stage, back in the back*

"Oh wow, what a mess!" a woman wearing the uniform of the resort and sporting long, crimson hair as she peered out from under a desk she had dived under. "We've hardly even started, and they're already dealing us fits!"

"Yeah," a man with thick, blue hair agreed from beside her. "It makes me scared to think what they'll do when things really start moving. Maybe we should just consider calling it quits now before we get hurt again!"

"Aww, will you two grow a backbone, already?" a cat complained as he pulled himself out from between them. "Youz gotta think all positive-like! Ya gotta aim for the goal! Think of all of the pokemon out there! The prize is worth gettin' a little bruised, right?"

The woman scowled at him sourly. "It's not a little bruising we're worried about ..."

[Reiko]

*Magneton*
"110%. Got it." All three said with a nod. "Always give 110%!" The three chimed.

*Claydol*
I believe...he left not long after Blaziken sent the magnets away. Was he a friend of yours The pokemon questioned.
