Surviving.

[Xenos]

Dan coughed as he reached the Plateau and collapsed on the spot. " Ugghhh"! He cried as he stood back up and sighed. " So this is it? The Monument Plateu? Might as well look around".
Dan looked at the statues around him, seeing the fine craftwork done into each of them. He stopped at one and stared long at it, as if trying to tell if the thing was real or fake.

[Hamboy]

The monument in-front of Dan was positively huge, the upturned pyramid proving to be a truly amazing sight. Suddenly, a strange sound emanated from atop of it. It was the soothing lullaby of... Rock music? There was a rope ladder to the right of Dan leading up to the top, but it didn't seem particularly safe.

[Xenos]

Dan looked at the rope and rubbed his chin. " What the heck".
He began to cliimb it.

[Hamboy]

The rope ladder wobbled as Dan climbed it. At several points during the ascension, his Pokeballs were in severe danger of falling. But Dan finally reached the top, to see a full Rock band, electric guitar player, singer, drummer, and base guitar player. Something was odd, however. Every member of the band was a Jigglypuff.

[Xenos]

Dan blinked at the band, then grinned. " Alright! Show time"! He began dancing, shaking his rump this way and that, then spun in spot to do a Moonwalk. He stopped and winked at the band.

[Hamboy]

A Pidgey flew to Dan from the right.
"Please Sir, the band can't take autographs right now, they are rehearsing for the show tonight and are on a really tight schedule. You're welcome to come and see the show later, however. It's in celebration of the lead singers mothers birthday, so tickets are free. Plenty of Pokemon have already got their tickets, but you'd be the first human. How about it? The more the merrier."

[Xenos]

Dan wiggled in spot from the excitement. " Ya' mean it"!?!? He took a ticked from teh bird Pokemon and walked amongst the place, giggling like crazy.

[Hamboy]

The Pidgey saw Dan walk around the area, which had been remodeled into a temporary stage and outdoor arena. It smiled, as it knew the Static Puff loved large audiences. He watched as Dan mingled with the other early arrivals, a group that included a family of Skittys, and a Swablu. Soon, day turned to night and the Pidgey was replaced with a Kricketot, as other Pokemon filled the seats. The place was full.

Within a few minutes, Static Puff had appeared on stage. The band front-man took the microphone.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen in the audience. I got just one question. Are you ready to rock!?"

[Xenos]

" WOOOOOO"!!!!
Dan ripped his jacket off and began twirrling it around over his head. " YEEEAAAHH! YOU GUYS ROCK"!!!!
Dan then released his Pokemon from their Pokeballs. After all, it was a free show.

[Hamboy]

"Yeah!" The Frontman screamed to the audiences' cheers. He returned to the band, and the lights went out, apart from a single large one shining on the band. the first song was a rendition of The Ace of Spades, played brilliantly and to much applause, and they continued with more classics from other famous rock bands. But something was wrong. Despite the quality of the music staying at the same high level, the cheers started to die down. It seemed the audience were falling to sleep, one by one. Would Dan notice before he, too, fell to the embrace of slumber?

[Xenos]

Dan continued to party, Machop and Growlithe joining in by starting a Mosh Pit. Fetch' though, in all his seriousness, shook his head. " Bloody bad mess all of it is".
Shell suddenly appeared by his side and began dancing against him. " Come on Fetch'y! Let's dance"!
Fetch' sighed and shook his head. " Shell, I'm not the dancing type. Besides, I-Shell"? Shell had suddenly fallen asleep against Fetch', a slight bit of drool coming from her mouth.
Fetch' turned and saw other Pokemon drifting off too. Even Growlithe was asleep, and Dan was looking tired.
Machop though, continued to party on. That's when Fetch' realized it. The Band! They were singing them to sleep!
Fetch' rushed forward, brandishing his Leek and glaring at the Jigglypuff. " Machop"! He yelled, turning to face the fighting Pokemon.
Machop stopped raging and blinked. " What"?
" Up for a fight"? Fetch' asked, as he nodded his heads towards the Jigglypuff.
Machop grinned. " Oh yeah". He rushed forward and jumped in the air. Using Focus Energy on his arms, he began falling and started up a Cross Chop.
Fetch' flanked to the right and started a series of Furry Cutters comibined with Poison Stings.

[Hamboy]

Machops' Cross Chop knocked the lead singer Jigglypuff halfway across the arena, it was in danger of falling off the huge monument. The drummer has felt a similar fate at the hands of Fetch, and was now poisoned.

The remainder of Static Puff were in shock. They'd been busted! What would they do? Only one thing to do. The Base guitarist smiled, and faced Machop.
"Yeah boy! You think we'll be as easy as those two? Their weaklings!"

The electric guitarist face Fetch. "Let's Rock it!"

With that, the two Jigglypuffs slammed into their foes with a roll-out.

[Xenos]

Machop and Fetch' flew backwards as the Rollouts connected and hit. They both fell beside eachother and groaned. " Bloody heck, wot' was that"?
Machop stood and huffed. " Yeah,". He grinned. " What a weak move"!
Fetch' stood and grinned as well, standing beside Machop. " I know! I thought a tumbleweed had hit us"!
Machop cracked his neck and smirked. " So,". He said, talking to Fetch'. " You ready to test out the new weapon"?
Fetch' smirked back. " Nevah' thought ya' would ask mate".
The two suddenly sprinted off in seperate directions, Machop goin to the left Jigglypuff and Fetch' going for the right. Fetch' sprinted a good while before having its wings glow. " That's right mates! Aerial Ace"! Fetch' flew up in the air and dived for it's opponent.
Meanwhile, Machop had been focusing all its energy on its legs and arms, and slid the rest of the way to Jigglypuff in a Low kick fashion. If the Pokemon dodged it, he'd be ready with a Cross Chop.

[Hamboy]

Dans Pokemon charged for their attacks, but something was wrong- The Jigglypuffs were still in Rollout mode.

Machop and one of the pair hit each other at the same time, the force causing a small shockwave. Jigglypuffs rollout was sustained, but if it had stopped, heavy bruising would be clear. Machop wasn't so badly hurt, but he had been sent flying a few feet, and was now teetering on the edge of the monument as Jugglypuff attempted to use rollout on him again.

Fetch didn't fair as well. Though the aerial ace had struck its target, Fetch found himself trampled under the rollout. He wasn't badly hurt, and the Jigglypuff had indeed took more damage, it would take another second or two to get in the air again, and Jigglypuff was barreling toward him.

OOC: Keep in mind that Rollout continues over five turns and gets stronger with every hit, so this makes sense.

[Xenos]

Machop waved his arms about to keep from falling over the side of the Monument. He saw the Jigglypuff coming at him again.
" I should really play it safe and dodge....Pfft, yeah right"! Machop used Rage, his anger almost controlling him. Before it could however, he used Focus Energy to get a good hold of his emotions. Machop grinned at the Rollout that was coming. " Bring it on"! He charged forward, preparing a Cross Chop.

Meanwhile Fetch' groaned as he stood up briefly. " Bloody hell, wot' a pain". He looked and saw the Rollout was coming again. He began forming a plan and grinned. " Bring it on you ugly excuse for a Grimer! You're so ugly you make Ghastly cry"! Fetch' used Taunt, a move that would prove usefull. He also began using Furry Cutter on the ground in front of him to make a ditch, ensuring a trap. When Jigglypuff came at him, he'd finish it all with a Poison Jab.

[Hamboy]

The first Jigglypuff charged toward Machop... and barreled right into a Cross Chop. The force of the blow bent its round body into a shape more akin to a banana, and it was sent flying off the edge, out of the battle.

Machop gains 1 level

The second Jigglypuff was enraged, and barreled toward Fetch with even more gusto, falling right into his trap. The sudden ditch int the ground broke its Rollout, and sent it flying above Fetch at more manageable speeds, leaving it open to the finishing move. Poisoned, and unable to fight, it lay in front of Fetch, defeated.

Fetch gains 1 level

[Xenos]

Machop struck his fist in the air. " Yeah"! He cried out as he began dancing and such. He then turned and ran over to Fetch', who was currently standing over his defeated Jigglypuff. " Dude, nice one"!
Fetch' grinned. " Yes, it was quite impressive wasn't it"?
From behind the two, Dan and the rest of the gang began waking up. The Pokemon Trainer yawned and walked over to Fetch' and Machop. He looked down at the defeated Jigglypuff. " What happened"?
" Me and Fetch' whooped their butts".
Dan blinked, then tossed a Pokeball at the Jigglypuff. " No sense in letting it go to waste".

(OOC: LOL, I don't think they are. But that's still funny as....well it's funny)

Dan picked up the Pokeball and grinned. " Alright, now's the chance we've been waiting for. We can get the Gym Badge for real this time, and earn it"!
" Yeah! Let's kill some people"! Machop started off to kill something when Dan called him and everyone else back in their Pokeballs.
Dan sighed, it was a long way back to Shellau.
