The naming...

[Tristan]

After leaving the Lapras shrine with his new pokemon he found a rock to sit on and released all of his pokemon, Croagunk, Stunky and Cyndaquil. He looked around at all of them, "Alright guys, i haven't named you yet have i. Ok here goes nothing," He moved off the rock and kneeled down infront of all of them. He looked over at Croagunk, "Ok i'll name you Prince. Yeah i like that, Prince." He petted Croagunk's head. "Croa-"it croaked. Tristan then turned to Stunky, " You strike me as a Maisma." Stunky jumped up and down, "Stunk Stunky," He pat Stunky and turned to Cyndaquil. "Ok, hows Hotshot work for you?" Cyndaquil nodded and the smiled. "Ok great!" Tristan said a huge smile on his face. "We're really close to the first gym, but i think we should bulk up a bit first."

Up ahead, an Ekan's slithered by...well, 'slithered' isn't exactly the right word. A Rattata was holding onto it by the tail with its sharp teeth. The Ekans was flopping around, trying to get it off.

<Please! Let go of me! I'll give you anything!> the pokemon cried out in pain. But the Rattata held on strong.

A blob of white fell through the air and landed SPLAT! right in front of the Ekans, who immediately stopped squirming. Wingull poop?

SPLAT! SPLAT! SPLAT!

It almost loooked like it was snowing.

[Tristan]

Tristan turned and saw the ekans struggling in the mouth of the Rattata, "Hey let it go, Hotshot, use tackle on that Rattata!" HOtshot launched forward from the group slamming into the side of Rattata, Tristan returned Stunkly and Croagunk to there pokeballs attaching them to his belt. He dived under a near by tree as the poop began to fall.

[Professor Gravon]

Ratatta released the ekans as it was tackled.

The ekans slithered under a bush right near where Tristan and his pokemon were.

The ratatta used quick attack against Hotshot.

[Tristan]

Hotshot took the attack in the side and tumbled back, regaining its footing it charged back at the Rattata with another tackle attack before Tristan could give it orders.

[PBK]

Rattata ran at Hotshot for a tackle attack at the exact same time, and the two collided.

The mouse pokemon screamed in pain, openning up his mouth to try and bite his opponent.

[Tristan]

Rattata sunk it's teeth into Hotshot and it squealed out in pain, "Hotshot use leer, we have to bring down its defences." Hotshot broke from the bite and faced Rattata staring it down and its eyes began to glow.

[Professor Gravon]

The ratatta wasted precious time as it panted and fell prey to the attack of intimidating leer.

((Uhh... Gravon? I'm used to saying this to Piggy, but I never thought I'd have to say it to you. Check the dates. Tristan isn't even here anymore.))

[Professor Gravon]

But they often come back and rant at me through PM that I completely ignore them. Sometimes they stay back for quite a while.

[Tristan]

[[Ty, check the login dates on peoples profiles, i check in everyday to see where i need to reply.]]


"Great!" Tristan called out to Hotshot, "Now follow up with a Tackle and make it count." Hotshot nodded and she launched forwards at the Rattata, determined to win it's first battle.

[PBK]

The Rattata had been severely weakened by Hotshot as well as the Ekans and finally, the little thing had no more to give. Rattata fainted!

Hotshot gained 1 level!

[Tristan]

"YEAH!" Tristan yelled out, Hotshot Cried out in glee, it had one it's first battle. "You did good Hotshot. Now come on lets get moving. We still have quite a ways to go before we're ready for our first gym." Tristan was really proud of Hotshot. It seemed that all his pokemon were strong. He couldn't wait till they got stronger and they could take on they're first gym. He returned all the pokemon but his Croagunk to their pokeballs. "Ok Prince, the next battle's yours. We gotta get you really bulked, then we'll start training Maisma." Tristan started working a training plan in his head as the two walked back onto the main route and continued through.

[Professor Gravon]

A meowth sat right in the middle of the road. It licked it's fur and looked at Tristan with luscious eyes. It was female.
She flicked a gold coin in the air and slowly walked his way...
She looked fickle... Woah!

It was Emmy-Lu!

<You look like an outstanding trainer! Good day to you!> She said, bowing before Tristan. Her beautiful coat reflected the shine off the lake side water.

Some quacking of farfetch'd could be heard up ahead. Sounded like a fight in the reeds.

[Tristan]

Tristan stopped dead in his tracks as the Meowth stood infornt of him. "Good day to you aswell." Tristan said to the meowth giving a slight nod. Croagunk took a step towards Meowth, apperently being around Tristan had Croagunk in the state of mind that every wild pokemon was a enemy. Tristan placed his hand on Croagunks head keeping him from moving forward. "S'all right Prince." There was nothing normal about a pokemon in a coat standing in the middle of the route.

[Professor Gravon]

Before Tristan's eyes, Emmy-Lu used payday four times.
Gold coins scattered everywhere! Quickly, she gathered the money up and formed a pile of gold before Tristan.

<I am loved by all meowth and trainer. Do not forget me sir! My name is Emmy-Lu and I live to bless!> The meowth smiled sweetly.

The pile of money she left was $400.

She went on her way.

[Tristan]

Tristan and Croagunk looked at each other at the same time. Tristan then looked back to the Meowth before it disappeared. "Thank's Emmy-Lu, your very generous." Tristan leaned down and picked up the coins and slipped it into his bag. When he looked up Emmy-Lu was gone. He turned to Croagunk, "Wow, this is a strange trip huh buddy,"
