Pokemon In The City-Role Play

"Oh no, don't blame them," a familiar voice said. Lickitung stood there in front of Sluggard, his mouth closed for once, a smug smirk on his face. "You were the one that followed them here, after all."

Striker's eyes slid open, giving him view of a dark ceiling. "Ugh, this feels worse than when I had to escort that Garbodor."

"Oh trust me," said a Staraptor as he appeared directly in front of Striker. "You'll feel far worse by the time I'm through with you."

Kori woke up all at once and leaped to her feet, both fists drawn in Ice Punches. She turned on the spot slowly and carefully.

"Well well," a voice said from a short distance behind her. "Aren't you the pretty one?"

A shiny Umbreon appeared behind her, his circles glowing blue in the dark.

Striker's eyes widened for a second before he put on a straight face and pushed himself to his feet. A Flyer, huh? This looks like it could be a tough fight. "Well well, that was kind of threatening. Not at all the proper way to introduce yourself. Allow me to demonstrate."

He reached out a paw, discretely filling it with venom for a Poison Jab. "I'm Striker, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Joy, flattery," Kori said dryly, crouching down in an attack position, facing the Umbreon. "I sincerely hope you don't expect the same from me."

Flint and Solaris were still trying to find Titan. They could hear the sounds of fighting nearby.

Titan dodged the Thunderpunch and countered with Flare Blitz, charging into the Elekid.

Sluggard, however, cut one of the ice punches and used the free hand to pick his nose.

"Oh no, it's Lickitung. What are ya going to do, fatass, sit on me?"

The Staraptor smiled. "Well, considering I may only know you for a few minutes my name isn't important. I'll tell you anyway, though. It's Booster." He raised his wings and stood on one leg, curling the other one inwards. "And the boss has told me to fight you. So fight you I will." He lunged at Striker, a Close Combat ready.

The Umbreon smirked and began to walk slowly towards her. "But it isn't flattery if it's true, is it? Allow me to introduce myself; you can call me Nostrum. And I never expected the same." His eyes began to glow black in preparation for a Night Shade. "It'll be a shame to mess up that pretty face, anyway."

Twin bolts of black shot from his eyes.

Lickitung raised an eyebrow. His tongue was out faster than Sluggard could react, slapping the Slowbro across the face in a spray of saliva. "No. Just knock you unconscious, duh."

"Gentlemen, please! Calm down! We came to negotiate, not to brawl!" said Paul.

"...gnh.... rosbeef... bubble wrap... tongue..."

"...DAMN YOU SLU—-"

The Arcanine's ears perked up and the canine woke up with a scream, paws stretched. He quickly took a paw to his muzzle to check if it was wet or dry... and he didn't like what he felt. Sniffed around. "Ugh... yeah... it was ghosts this time."

The canine shook up as he got up from the ground and circled a couple of times, wondering why such a simple business had to turn into such a series of unfortunate events. "I swear," he growled without realizing as he licked his fur, "as soon as I get even with those bugs I'm done with this city!"

"What bugs would that be?" asked an Ariados that was hanging from the ceiling above Eltenios.

Sluggard Ice Punched the tongue as soon as he was able.

"Those hard arteries don't stop Ice Punches."

The bird's quick, I have to give him that, acknowledged Striker as Booster came down on him. Jabbing forward into the Staraptor, he said "You're pretty good, it's just too bad you chose such a double-edged sword of an attack. You really left yourself open there."

As he said this, though, and his Poison Jab hit home, one of Booster's feet struck him hard in the gut. Heh, maybe I left myself open too much, as well.

Lickitung's tongue swerved out of the way of Sluggard's Ice Punch, wrapping itself around his arm, then his head.

Booster threw both of his wings forward in imitations of hooks while his feet jabbed at Striker's gut and face.

"Curses..." Eltenios noticed the Ariados above. Out of his reach. "Nah... bugs with blades," answered the Arcanine with a half-roar and a sarcastic smile forming in his muzzle as he added, "bugs who meeddle in other peoplemons' affairs."

Eltenios kept his ears pointed at the stranger. He was already guessing what was about to happen, "what with my damn fine luck." He kept circling around his body trying to destress himself, and made a halfhearted call for the stranger. "Why don't you come down here? I can talk to you about them..."

The Ariados lowered himself a short distance downward on a strand of web, his fangs starting to drip with purple liquid. "Let's just get this out of the way, shall we? I'm Aranos, I'm here to either beat you unconscious or have the same happen to me."

He flipped down from the strand of web and backed up a substantial distance. "Whenever you're ready."

The Elekid was thrown back into another box with a loud 'Oof!', it couldn't be seen under the wood scraps and rare candy of the box it had crashed into.

Sluggard grabbed the tongue and prepared for Zen Headbutt.

"You know, given your behavior during that tournament, I thought you liked licking children."

I REALLY hope That Came Out Wrong, Lickitung thought. He jumped forward and began using Rollout, shooting towards Sluggard as he prepared the Zen Headbutt.

"I'm not interested in spending more time asleep by force; I have weekends for that, you know?" Eltenios answered, backing away a couple of steps and stretching his legs, thinking of the best way he could attack such a foe. Moving his head up and down, he sized his opponent's horn and legs and thought back to stories about very large, ancient spiders.

Letting out a growl the Arcanine moved forwards a couple of steps as he solidified a strategy in his mind; then sprang forwards at full speed and upon reaching a short distance he lunged at one of the spider's legs, hoping to disable them one by one.

Titan proceeded to set fire to the box the Elekid fell in. "Hmm, I think that's all of the Rare Candies. Looks like I'm done!" He said happily.

"Oh, shut up." Kori was running out of patience, and really wasn't in the mood to talk. Leaping into the air to dodge the Umbreon's Night Shade, she did a flip and came down towards him fist-first, an Ice Punch held out in front of her.

Aranos jumped backwards away from Eltenios, firing the Toxic he'd had charging in his fangs.

"Tsk tsk," he muttered, shaking his head. "Do you need glasses, by any chance?" He tossed his head back and opened his mouth, a Shadow Ball charging there before being fired at Kori.
