Bricks and Stones...

[Nyaa-Neko]

The dragon, already frozen solid, couldn't exactly move to decrease the intensity of the hit...

And soon the coldness consumed her. She wasn't built for cold, Mew darnit! She started to feel sleepy and weak, as most victims of freezing do.

"<Gonna...take a little nap...mehbeh...nyaaaaa...suuuuuuuuuuuu...>"

Then she fainted.

Tommy's Pokedex beeped. "Level 47 vibrava defeated," it read. "Sneasel gains 2 levels. Sneasel is now level 47."

[MorriganFearn]

"Whoot!" Tommy raised his arms in the air. "Angel, you did it! I can't believe it! You're amazing!"

Angel bowed her head bashfully. <I got lucky, Tommy-kun. That's all. He was a really tough opponent. But I'm happy that I could help you, and the team,> she beamed.

Tommy smiled back at her, as Shiri picked her way delicately among the rubble. <What's next, Shihan? Deeper into the breech perhaps?>

"Sure, but first, I think I'll catch this vibrava. He hadn Sentouki will probably get along," Tommy sighed, looking for an ultra ball. He breathed out as he found one, and tossed it at the vibrava.

<Yay!> Angel exclaimed hppily. <A new friend to cook for!>

[Nyaa-Neko]

((It's a SHE, Mori-chan. X3 ))

The Ultra Ball slapped the vibrava, and said locust-like dragon disappeared into it. The ball rocked a few times, then was still.

Tommy's Pokedex then went about the task of bringing up the stats of said locust-like dragon. They were:

Vibrava
Gender: female
Level: 47
Group: 3
Nickname: you choose
Ability: Levitate: ground-type attacks have no effect
Attacks: Sand Tomb, Supersonic, Dragonbreath, Screech
Personality: Hyper, mischevious, and finds a joke in everything. Likes to fly around in circles to confuse people, laughing all the time. She actually is very kind underneath it all, and tries to be friends with everybody on her team...but she doesn't want them to know that. Hence all the practical jokes.

[MorriganFearn]

((I have real gender problems some days. XP.))

"Glad you're happy," Tommy said, and stooping down to pick up the capture device. "But Shiri needs some real experience, so could you take a back seat for a moment?" Tommy asked.

<Oh, sure,> Angel smiled. <Anything to make the team happy.>

Shiri picked herself off the floor, with Pai, and shook her head. <Shihan? That bravi cheated! It wouldn't come down and fight like a quadraped!>

"Like a what?" Tommy asked, as Pai cleared his throat significantly.

<Sorry, bro, like a quadraped or a biped. Someone with 4 or 2 feet.>

"Well, she had six," Tommy pointed out, utter confused, as the trio of trouble began to wander again.

[Nyaa-Neko]

Then the floor shook. Then it stopped. Then a bidoof slammed into Tommy's shin on accident.

"<Sorry!>" He squeaked, bowing. "<I'm a bidoof, but I'm not stupid...just...not too great at watching where I'm going...>"

[MorriganFearn]

((Arrrg! I'm always an alter behind, aren't I?))

"Wow, a bowing hamster," Tommy said, but Shiri, in full "protector of my Shihan" mode bounded between Tommy and the polite bidoof.

<How dare you bump int my Shihan?!> Shiri glowered down at the smaller pokemon.

"Really, Shiri, he didn't mean--," Tommy began.

<Quiet Shihan! Your honor has been insulted and I shall avenge you!> Shiri exclaimed.

Tommy looked at Angel. "What honor?"

[Nyaa-Neko]

However, the bidoof suddenly was swept up by a charging stampede of the beavers in their mad rush to leave the mansion.

Then the building shook...then it was still...then a torkoal stomped out to meet them. He eyed Tommy lazily. "<Jolly good day, isn't it, lad?>" he asked in a cheerful, refined old voice.

[MorriganFearn]

"Er, jolly?" Tommy said uncertainly. They were in a mansion which was obviously built on a fault line of some kind (it kept experiencing earthquakes, anyway), and he was only in there in the first place because he was trying to stay out of the rain. "Well, I suppose that depends on your definitions of jolly."

Shiri stamped her foreleg against the stone and snorted a little laugh. <He talks funny, Shihan.>

[Nyaa-Neko]

"<I beg your pardon,>" the torkoal countered with a humph. "<I talk with a refined voice. Now then, would you like to spar with me, lad? Or should I keep walking?>"

[MorriganFearn]

"I don't, um, --," Tommy began, trying to find a polite way to say that he didn't spar with turtles that could breathe fire. However he was interrupted by an indignant cry of:

<I'm no lad! Have at ye, sirrah! I'll take you down with one tail tied behind my back!> Shiri exploded, as Angel shook her head. All this violence. The torkoal seemed like such a nice person, too. Why couldn't they all just sit down and eat cupcakes?

[Nyaa-Neko]

The torkoal gave a "<hmph,>" then looked up. "<Ah, it seems my time here is over. Fare thee well, young travelers!>"

Then he slowly exited the building...

Then the building shook...

Then the shaking stopped...

Then a male nidoran shuffled forward. "<Hi there,>" he began. "<Yo! Girafarig! Wanna fight?>"

[MorriganFearn]

<Yes!> Shiri exploded angrily. <That annoying toriness totally copped out on a battle! I'm so annoyed!>

"Whoa, calm down," Tommy winced.

<Bah to calmness!> Shiri replied loftily, as Angel shook her head. The pink sneasel wished that she had made parfaits. People calmed down over parfaits.

<Anyway, Shian, lead me into battle, or I shall go of my own accord!> Shiri replied, before looking closely at the nidoran and giggling. <Hah! This should be easy, it's a pink Nina-chan! He'll be freaked out by any attack.>

"Nina wha?" Tommy looked askance at Shiri before deciding to go the route of caution. "Male nidoran perfer physical attacks, Shiri. Use your growl."

Shiri grinned evilly, glaring at the nidoran, before growling. <Errrrawr!>

[Nyaa-Neko]

((You wanna continue with this thread?))

[MorriganFearn]

Rawr. I can't without the Shiri-chan. Time-space continuum rips are always tricky to mess with...
