It's not worth it.
Prosper grimaced as his shiny shoes sunk once again into the moist ground of the Soggy Dirt area. He had been through here on his way to Brightopolis and wouldn't even come back if it hadn't been for a Pokemon around here that he was looking for. The Psychic bird, Natu. It was a mysterious little creature and Prosper couldn't wait to capture it and add it to his ranks.

Murmur Valley was bleak and almost constantly dark. It wouldn't be easy to spot a tiny bird around here, but Prosper was determines not to give up. In order to begin challenging the gyms that he intended to fight he would need a full, strong team of Pokemon to back him up. This would only be accomplished by catching the Pokemon he wanted and training them to be the best they could be.

(0.2. Totally random and irrelevant, but I read through that encounters list like at least 5 times before I noticed that Natu is actually on there. So yes, you have been enlightened.)

The mist was a rather difficult enemy to take by the horns in this valley. Especially when you were searching for something so tiny and insignificant. Searching for the midget bird was difficult enough under normal circumstances, but now it was going to be downright impossible. The light was slowly fading, and as shadows crept across the land,

In front of Prosper, a pair of glowing red things appeared, visible even through the thick fog. What on earth was that? Some sort of otherworldly apparition sent to condemn the kid for all his wrongs? Unfortunately, no. That would be Santa. This was something much smaller, but no less potent. It gave a high-pitched squeal, sounding something like a buzz. Something like a bug would make.

Prosper blindly made his way through the foggy valley. He had not liked this place the first time he was here, and felt no better about traveling through it once again. This place was not very welcoming, and it was ironic that one of the Pokemon Prosper wanted most chose to call Murmur Valley its home. what luck.

Deciding that a flame might help him, Prosper grabbed Kyubi's Pokemon and released the bushy-tailed fox. She squealed with disgust as her soft pads touched down into the mushy dirt and she sunk slightly. Apparently the tiny Pokemon was no more eager to be here then her trainer.

Suddenly, the red eyes. Both trainer and Pokemon jumped back in surprise, but soon remembered that just about anything was possible in the world of Pokemon. The red eyes must belong to something, and dollars to donuts they belonged to a Pokemon. And from the sounds of it, a bug.

"Get to it, Kyubi. Fire Blast. Aim right at those eyes!"

The fire attack took the Venonat completely by surprise. Those humongously large compound eyes helped it to see well, even in the dark and fog, but it certainly hadn't expected to be attacked. It had just been walking around, minding its own business, after all. The five-pointed star of flames hit the bug, although it managed to avoid a fair bit of damage by ducking and so only the lower two legs of the star hit it. Its antennae were now sizzling, and the bug was angry. With an angry buzzy cry, it leapt into the air, and began to vibrate in an eerie fashion, although the only thing Prosper and his Vulpix could see were two large red circles in the sky shaking rapidly, while two floating flames (the burning antennae) shook along with it, above the two eyes. Quite scary actually.

However, Kyubi needed to worry about being scared no longer. The vibrations of the Venonat showed the foxy Pokemon with a magical powder, inducing sleep, and the Vulpix settled down in the mud, whisked off to Dreamland where she could dream about scary red eyes with eerily floating flames above them. Poor thing.

The giant five-pronged Fire Blast illuminated the surrounding area, and Prosper got a closer look at the pair of red eyes and its owner. A small, purple and furry creature stood there, two large antennas protruding from its face. A Venonat. The small bug was sure to have good night vision and would be able to focus on the battle better then Kyubi would be able to.

The bottom of the flames grazed over the Pokemon, but the sheer power of the attack would be able to do some damage. Venonat was hurt, but quickly leapt back into the battle and straight into the air. Although Prosper couldn't see what was happening very well, Kyubi suddenly slumped over and he was sure that it had been sleep powder.

Prosper flung another Pokeball forward, grunting in frustration. He had hoped it would be a simple battle, but it seems every wild Pokemon's ambition was to be as annoying as they possibly can. Ryuu burst from the ball, and took two seconds to familiarize himself. Kyubi was asleep, and there stood the enemy, a simple Venonat,

"You know what to do."

The moment Scyther appeared, the battle was over. In no way could an inferior venonat keep up with the quickness and power of your winged bug. Neeldess to say, the already injured Venonat didn't like what it saw, and attempted to make a quick escape. The speed of Scyther wouldn't allow it, as it flapped its wings, causing quite a commotion in the mist.

Prosper nodded curtly as Ryuu beat down the pesky Venonat with one sweep of his wings. He reached into the sack and pulled out a tiny bottle, administering it to Kyubi. The fire fox droopily opened her eyes and stretched, climbing to her feet. She mewed an apology to Prosper for falling asleep, but Prosper smiled and said it didn't matter.

After telling Kyubi to blow out fire periodically to light the way through the valley, the trio continued on. Ryuu walked out a bit farther then the other two, his wings beating furiously. He wasn't really interested in trying to find a challenge, but just keeping a sharp lookout for the Pokemon that Prosper had described.

The mist made way for the soggy ground, as you trudged forward, hearing squishy sounds with each step. The ground suddenly took a turn in altitude, signalling to your senses that you had reached a hill of some kind.

Reached: Soggy Hillside

It was then that the sounds of the eerie setting haunted you. It sounded like an owl, but not quite. You couldn't see exactly where it was coming from, but as you walked forward, the image became clear. It was a tiny bird, the one they named Natu. It had powers beyond your wildest dreams... but with this one you had to be quick. Rumor has it that it's able to flee from battle without a hitch by simply vanishing.

Whoopee. More squishy dirt, but this time, there was a new element thrown into the mix: lots and lots of hills. Great. Not only did he get to trudge around in this, his legs soaked and coated with God only knows what, he now had a greater chance of falling and being completely submerged in it! Does life get any better?

Why, yes, yes it does! While Prosper moped along feeling very sorry for himself, he glanced up and noticed the object of his desire: a Natu, just sitting on the edge of a hill and hooting mysteriously. Prosper was almost sure that it hadn't noticed him... he needed to cripple it with something and then quickly engage in battle before it managed to teleport away. These things were flighty, and would run at the first chance they could get.

Silently unclipping a Pokeball, Prosper released Watt, who was about to bleat quite loudly before Prosper silenced her. He whispered his instructions to her, which involved attacking with a Thundershock so as to not damage the part-flying type too badly, and mixing in a Thunderwave to paralyze the bird and keep it within arm's reach.

Watt nodded in understanding and turned, her fur beginning to ruffle and swell in size as the pent-up electricity within began to build itself up and prepare to discharge.

Natu was oblivious of your position, which was odd... it was a psychi type, and naturally one woudl think that it knew everythings position. If it did know you were there, it made no attempt to vanish without a trace.

So, Flaffy was free to use the bird as targt practive, sending a Thundershock towards the bird. The attack did justthat, shocked the hell out of Natu. It instinctly too to the skies, only to have a wave of thunder come beating down upon it, grounding it once more. Natu was in a bad way, as its paralyzed body rolled down the hillside.

Prosper smiled satisfactorily as the electricity exploded from Watt and lit up the foggy and dark area. Only then had Natu noticed their presence, but by that time, it was too late. She took to the skies just seconds before her tiny little frame was jolted with electricity and she dropped like a stone, her body completely still. Watt had done a pretty good job.

"Excellent, Watt. That was brilliant! Now just go give the little birdie a Tackle and then we'll see if we can't persuade her to join our cause."

Watt nodded and waddled forward, beginning to build up speed for a nice tackle. Prosper scooped his hand into his sack and grabbed up one of the tiny spheres from its compartment. He punched the tiny button on the front and it swelled in size, ready for action. As soon as Watt was finished, Prosper swung his arm and let it fly.

That wasn't the story, however. To your left, charging up the hill was a man. You could tell by his deep voice. He was acting rather aggressively towards his pokemon, a small Teddiursa. Well, assuming it really was his.

This fellow didn;t look like a very nice man. He was big... had broad shoulders... you know, the type of guy you would hate to run in to in a dark alley somewhere. H ehad on hiking boots and blue jeans with a red flanel shirt. He had the look of wilderness about hit, complete with a big bushy beard.

The bear was refusing to obey the man, and was being repremanded because of it. Poor little snuggly bear....

The ball snapped shut and the red glow from the center faded away. It dinged and then zoomed right back through the air, landing with a nice thump in Prosper's grasp. He smiled, and whispered a light apology to the bird inside. He hated to have to treat Pokemon that way, but he would do everything he could to make it up to the Natu.

At that moment, Prosper turned and heard the screaming and bellowing of the giant man. He looked closer and noticed that the giant was yelling a Teddiursa that he was handling rather vigorously. Something flared up in Prosper, and he almost began to shake. He had never been able to handle people abusing Pokemon, and this man was no different.

"Hey, you!" Prosper called out, storming up to the man with his eyes flashing. "What's the big idea? Leave that poor little bear alone! I'm sure whatever it did, you can work it out. But lay one more hand on that little thing and you'll have me to deal with."

Prosper realized that his tiny frame would be almost laughable to this giant of a man, but he wasn't alone. He had a couple Pokemon at his disposal and he would do whatever it took to make sure the Teddiursa wasn't hurt anymore.

'Bwahahaha! Mind your business kid!'

The giant of a man was obviously more concerned with his bear than he was with you. He continued with his bear like you weren't even present, yelling and kicking dirt and mud on the creature as they walked up the hill towards Mayriver.

'You are useless! And to think, I wasted my time on catching you, and you can't even defend yourself! BAH!'

And what could the bear do? Absolutely nothing. It continued walking, slouching as it trudged up the hill.

Prosper couldn't blame the man for simply laughing at him and continuing on with his walk and abusive nature. He really couldn't. He was small, he was weak, and he had a squeaky voice. Why would anyone pay any attention to him? But that was their mistake. Never underestimate a short guy with an attitude problem.

"Ryuu." Prosper glanced at the Scyther as he released the Pokemon and clipped the Pokeball back to his belt. The Scyther was still not the most obedient Pokemon around, but he felt enough respect for Prosper to obey his commands no matter how ludicrous they might be.

"Double Team. Send one of your copies to grab the Teddiursa and protect it. The others, slash that man and beat him down. Make him pay for what he's done."

Scyther eyed Prosper with curiosity. Lately, the boy felt no shame in just randomly attacking others or attacking wild Pokemon with absolutely no restrain. But hey, who was he to complain? He liked the new Prosper. Nothing wrong with beating someone up once in a while.

The man continued with Teddiursa, ignoring you completley. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it wasn't. One hing was fo rsure, though... you were about to have a fight on your hands.

Scyther duplicated itself and swooped in and removed the bear from harm. The angry burly fellow swished back, eyeing your bug and its copies. It was able to side-step the original bug, and call upon his own pokemon.

'Kid, you don't know what you just did!'

Before him appeared a Skarmory. Its steel hide reflected what little sunlight broke through the mist. Its form was magnificent, even if you couldn't see it very well.

'Double tema is no match for me! Use Swift Skar!'

The metallic bird spit out countless tiny stars. The wide-spread atatck eliminated all of the duplicates, and even managed to slice and dice the opposing Scyther.

"Ugh."

Prospre groaned as the giant man turned, and suddenly became quite angry about losing his Teddiursa. Although Prosper didn't fully understand why; the man seemed like all he wanted to do was get rid of it. But then he wouldn't have anything to yell at, and then all the fun would be gone.

Wincing as all the copies were eliminated in a single blow, Prosper realized that this was not a very effective match-up. Ryuu, despite how strong he might be or how well he carried himself, was simply not equipped to handle a giant metallic bird. All the odds were against him, and a brave face was not going to get him through it.

Through shrill bellows of protest, Prosper quickly recalled Ryuu and threw out Watt's pokeball. The electric sheep appeared and looked up, noticing the Skarmory that hung ominously overhead. She realized that she was already in the midst of a battle, and better get into action pretty quickly.

"Hurry, Watt! Paralyze that thing and give it a shock!"

'Ah! You wanna pick a fight and have your bug run away, eh? Two can play at that game!'

With a flick of the wrist, he called forth another pokemon. It was a short, stubby, ground pokemon known commonly as Rhyhorn. You may know it as a problem. This particular pokemon had an annoying little ability that attracted electric attacks, causing them to become null and void.

'Ha! Skarmory, show that sheep what you got! Swift!'

Once again, the metallic bird spat out countless miniature weapons, slicing and dicing their way through the air, and finding their way tp your Flaffy.

'Like I said... kid... give me back my pokemon, before I have to take it from you.'

This guy was obviously not playing around. Sure teddiursa was a disappointment to him, but that was the way of the world. Sometimes you catch pokemon that are duds. Nonetheless, it was his pokemon, no matter how he wanted to treat it. Who knows what else he had waiting to persuade you to cooperate...

Prosper obviously wasn't expecting the Rhyhorn to come out of nowhere, and he was shocked to see the barrage of electricity suddenly change course and be absorbed by the ground-type Pokemon. So the man obviously knew what he was doing, and wasn't just some dumb brute. What luck.

His hand shooting down, Prosper popped off two more balls from his belt and hurled them forward, while recalling Watt back into hers. Kyubi and Leaf emerged from the flashed of light, already prepared for the battled. They glanced sideways at each other, and knew it wouldn't be easy. But they would have to work together and stay in sync to get the job done.

The "brute" as you called him was getting quite furious. You switched pokemon more than this hiker switched socks. It didn't matter to him, however, as long as you knew what you were asking for by battling him.

'You got huts kid, I give you that. But what you don't see is that I have just as many pokemon as you, and I don't need to show all of my cards in the first hand!' Skarmory, take to the skies! Use Fly! Rhyhorn, you know what to do...'

In an instant, the bird of metal took to the clouds, much higher that the small fire fox could reach. It was stuck shooting flames into the air with very little success.

This made way for the massive Rhyhorn to do its worst. Bayleef was ready to go, and was quicker on its feet, slinging countless leaf razors and the rock hide of the beast. The poison Powder did nothing but float into the wind, but the power of the attack dealt a serious blow to the Rhyhorn, nearly taking him down instantly.

Using its impeccable defenses, Rhyhorn stood strong, stomping the ground in its effort to shake things up a bit. The attack was Earthquake, and it was a doozy.

Vulpix stumbled and tripped, struggling to keep on its feet, while Bayleef had a better go of it, keeping its eye on the weakened Rhyhorn.

"Damn."

Prosper muttered as the Skaymory beat its powerful, metal wings and took into the clouds, disappearing from view. The Pokemon was most likely circling them from up above, waiting for just the right opportunity to present itself to attack. But Prosper wasn't going to make it easy, he would fight with all he had.

"New strategy, you two! Watch the skies as much as your can, Skarmory could come zipping down at any second. Kyubi, stand in front of Leaf, as its most likely target is him with the type advantage. Wait until the last possible second before that thing comes down and then release the strongest Fire Blast and Will-o-wisp you can produce! Leaf, just throw another Razor Leaf at Rhyhorn, it won't last much longer. And put up a Reflect around you and Kyubi, you need to protect yourselves."

The two Pokemon lined up, and Kyubi kept her eyes focused on the skies, circling her head around and checking every angle, every possible spot for skarmory to emerge. Leaf, meanwhile, was eyeing the ground all around them and throwing forward his barrage of leaves towards Rhyhorn. Prosper had expected the rhino Pokemon to go down from the first attack with the quadruple weakness and all, but it managed to cling to life.

The mountain man wasn't stupid, and knew that the slow Rhyhorn didn't have very long. He released her replacement before Bayleef finished the deed.

Skarmory had the upper hand, however, in the form of speed. Still, with a looming threat of fire, it waited tp pick its spot, and right now wasn't it.

Bayleef was free to sling its leaves, grounding hte Rhyhorn.

.6 :exp for Bayleef and Vulpix

In its stead appeared a sight for sore eyes. Another ground type, but unfortunately for you, much more versatile than a Rhyhorn. Nidoking roared, letting the pokemon in batle know of its presence. It was a mighty pokemon, and its roar was evidence of it.

The said roar caused Vulpix to look away from the sky to see the cause of the sound. This was the chance that Skarmory needed, diving from the clouds and mist above. The target was Bayleef, obviously, slicing at th grass type with its steel wings and beak. The only thing keeping the grass type up was the reflective shield it had placed up before ending Rhyhorn.

Vulpix turned just in time to catch the steel bird, and erupted with its Flamethrower, causing much pain and aggravation. No longer the untouchable bird, Skarmory was on fire. Literally.

'Dammit! Kid, you are more of a bother than you're worth! This ends now! King, Earthquake!'

Much like before... the ground shook quite violently. This time moreso than before due to the experience of the massive poison type. Even with Reflect up, Vulpix was out in the open, and felt the effects of the ground attack to the fullest. It fell to the swamp-like grass unconscious. Bayleef, too, was rather hindered by the attack, especially after being nearly destroyed by the Skarmory.

'You thief! I'll make you pay for taking my Teddiursa!'

So much was happening at once, Prosper's eyes flitted back and forth to try and take it in all at once. Leaf had blasted Rhyhorn and defeated it, Nidoking was released and causing tremors, Skarmory was soaring down from the sky, and Kyubi was blasting flames and then falling down to the ground in defeat.

By now, Prosper was truly scared he was going to lose. What would this giant of a man do to him for trying to take his Teddiursa, even if he had had good intentions. He shook his head. Now was not the time to be worrying about that. He had a small back-up plan, but there were so many variables and it could so easily fall apart. Prosper grabbed Watt's pokeball and hurled it forward, releasing the electric sheep.

Leaf closed his eyes, paws combing over the ground nervously. He was letting his team down, and he was so close to losing this battle. How could he face the rest of his teammates like this? He needed to try harder. His eyes flickered open and he straightened up, body erect and alert. His fur began to glow with a faint green aura, and suddenly a bright emerald light exploded around his frame. Overgrow had activated.

"Step it up, now! Watt, release every ounce of electricity you have in Discharge on Skarmory! Make SURE that every bit of it hits! And once you've finished with that, throw a Thunderwave towards Nidoking. Leaf, heal yourself up with Synthesis and throw your best Magical Leaf at Nidoking! But if Skarmory is still here, then hit it with Body Slam... but not if it is using Fly. It should be powered up by Overgrow."

Each Pokemon stood side-by-side, eyeing their opponents nervously. They knew that a lot was riding on this battle, and a loss could mean more trouble for Prosper then just letting that Teddiursa be abused more. The chances were highly unlikely for a win, but they wouldn't gain anything by just giving up.

No worries.


'Kid, you have got some nerve. Sending out your sheep when my King commands the field?! Skar, use Swift, King, Earthquake one more time!'

Skarmory, still being the quickest pokemon in the battle by far, again used its Swift attack, slicing both of your pokemon to shreds, Bayleef more noteably. The attack was enough to put the grass type down for good, and out of the battle.

The attack, however, left the metallic bird open for an attack while it tried to fight off its hindering burn.

Menwhile, your sheep released its Thunder Wave to try to halt the power that was Nidoking. The wave of electricity traveled straight to the ground type, causing it to abnormally become paralyzed. Thunder Wave was just awesome like that. It then commenced to Dischare its electrical energy upon the undfortunate bird. In one shot, Skarmory fell from the sky, unconscious.

Your sheep gains 2 :exp

Discharge had no effect on Nidoking, however, as the poin type beast readied its quake one mroe time. Even taking reflect into account, the Earthquake was still much too powerful for the small sheep to withstand, as it buckled above the crumbling earth, leaving your defenses unavailable, and Nidoking standing strong. Paralyzed, but strong.

'See what you've brought upon yourself!? You asked for this fight, now hand over my pokemon!'

"You think this is over? Think again, oaf!"

Prosper tried to sound tough, but he knew his chances were slim to none. He had only two Pokemon left in a conscious state, and not only was one weakened the other was close to being KO'ed and didn't even like him. But nothing would be accomplished by giving up, and if he lost, well, maybe he could run faster then this guy.

Kissing Ryuu's pokeball for good luck, Prosper swung his arm and let it fly. Ryuu once again exploded on to the battlefield, screeches ringing out from him almost immediately. He stared down the Nidoking, and knew that even he was in for a rough time. Boy, that guy was even bigger then he was.

"Ryuu, you're my only hope. First, Double Team. Makes as many copies as you possibly can, and keep up moving, never stopping. You must not allow Nidoking to find the real you. Secondly, stay in the air the whole time to avoid Earthquake. Only come even close to Nidoking from up high in the air when you use Wing Attack, and avoid those fists. One blow will knock you out of the sky and leave you vulnerable. Oh, and take advantage of its paralysis. Whenever Nidoking looks like its slowed down momentarily or can't move, that's when you make your move."

Scyther flexed his muscles and instinctively let his claws sit out in front of him in a guarded manner. He was the best battler on his team, and if there was ever a time to prove it then this was sit. His eyes narrowed to slits as he stared Nidoking down, psyching out his opponent. This was his battled, his domain. He screeched out a battle cry and then quickly started his battle strategy.

'Stand still King!' The mountain man commanded. Nidoking did just that... not that it was difficult for him. After all, he was paralyzed.

'Watch the bug, use your Leer while it circles above, and Foces Energy to prep for attack. Conserve your energy so you can strike without mercy!'

It was an unorthodox strategy. He basically told his Nidoking to be a trooper and take the hit like a champ. So, while Scyther circled overhead, the massive poison beast stood, bracing himself for attack. Son enough, multiples of the Scyther all collided with Nidoking with a vengeance, although only one made contact.

Wing Attack was successful, in a sense, damaging the Nidoking. It was unsuccessful in a sense as well, because the Scyther, upno completing its atatck, took with it a poison spike that had fallen from Nidoking. This gave away the real bugs position and also sent a poisonous substance coursing through your bugs veins.

It would seem that there was a method to the mayhem.

Prosper narrowed his eyes as Nidoking was commanded to stand still and merely shift into a defensive position. He had assumed trainers like this brute were all about attacking, and it was strange this this man would choose to actually incorporate strategy into the mix. Perhaps he wasn't as stupid as he really looked.

From the moment Ryuu chose to soar down and attack, while Nidoking just stood there, Prosper knew something was wrong. No trainer worth his salt would just let his Pokemon stand there and be attacked. And Prosper's theory was confirmed when a needle suddenly found its way lodged in Ryuu's skin and and sent the glowing poison flowing through his veins. He would no longer be able to hide among his clones, and Nidoking could pick him out from the crowd.

"Ryuu! Don't get too close to Nidoking, it can see you now. Just hand back, and let your wings extend as far as they can when you use Wing Attack. Nidoking's arms are powerful, but they are also short and clumsy, which will give you an advantage. Now head in for another strike!"

Ryuu floated in the sky, his wings beating furiously as they prepared for another attack. He glanced down the length of his arm where a tiny pin jabbed into his skin a slight burning sensation emitted. He ripped it out and snapped it in half, but the poison continued to seep into his bloodstream. He would need to end this fast before the poison took too much of a toll on his body.

Nidokind stood strong, shaking off the Wing Attack. The Scythe rhad hit him much harder than he had anticipated. STill, the poison type trusted his trainer, and continued to take the defensive position.

'S'alright King! Leer again, and this time when he comes in, show'em your Megahorn!'

Nidoking glanced back at his trainer with an expression that could kill. Yet again, he was instructed to stand stiill and await an attack. He didn't want to, but the beast obeyed, and Leered while the Scyther reduplicated itself. Hitting the bug with Megahorn would be difficult if he didn't know which one was real. He would have to wait until the last second to identify the genuine Scyther in order to be able to attack it... and likely take another Wing Attack, too.

Circling inthe air, Scyther swooped in for hopefully the final blow. With its wings spread, he collided with the Nidoking with much more force than before. This time, however, he was met with an attack. Nidokings horn smashed into the chest of Scyther, the winged creatures own momentum used against it.

The result was a Nidiking, laying unconscious on the soggy hillside. Scytherhadtaken a knee, obviously hit rather hard by the monsters horn. It tried to catch its breath, but the horn would have seemed to knock the wind out of him. Then, at the most inopportune time, Scyther cringed as the poison overtook its body, causing it, too, to fall to the ground.

Scyther gains 1.5 :exp

Both pokemon were done for. That only left the two trainers. Teddiursa had placed itself behind you, hiding as best as it could from its menacing trainer. The hiker returned his Nidoking, and let out a rather huge sigh of frustration.

'Kid... I am done. That damned bear isn't worth all of this. I had better not see you again though, putting your nose in business it doesn't belong!'


The hiker went back down the hill, back from the way he came. This left you alone with nothing to show for your heroic deeds except for an orphaned teddy bear.

"C'mon, Ryuu, you can do it!"

Prosper cheered the Scyther on as the several copies suddenly burst down from up in the clouds, their blurring green forms melding together as they rushed at Nidoking. Of course, the clones were only meant to hide the real one, and the real would be the only one doing any real damage.

The forms collided, and the result was disastrous. Nidoking fell backward and crumpled in the grass, Ryuu's clones all dematerialized instantly, and Ryuu fell backwards, his energy so exhausted he was kneeling along the ground. But still, for such a powerful opponent, he had done well. Though Ryuu twitched as the poison took hold again and he fell over, unconscious, Prosper found himself screaming out in celebration. Ryuu had fought a hard-won battle, and he deserved all the praise.

Suddenly, Prosper recalled that he still had a giant to deal with. The man came walking towards him, and Prosper flinched back in reflex. But the man simply said it was not worth it and turned, walking away. Prosper hung his mouth wide open in astonishment. He could have easily swatted Prosper away like a fly and taken his Teddiursa back. Why hadn't he?

Well, perhaps he would never know. He turned, and stared at the timid Teddiursa, who was sitting, cowering behind her trembling paws. Prosper wrapped her up in her arms and stroked her soft face, whispering that she would never be hurt again. She was safe with him, and would always have a safe haven.

Now, on to the next problem. Prosper was out here in the middle of nowhere, and almost all of his team was obliterated. He was in absolutely no state to keep traveling to Mayriver, but there was nothing else he could do. Prosper gave Teddiursa a big hug and then set her down on the ground. He unclipped a Pokeball from his belt and set it down in front of her.

"I know that man was your trainer, Teddiursa, but he's gone... I promise he won't hurt you ever again. You can come with me if you want, but if you want to live here instead that's fine with me."

Prosper smiled at Teddiursa and and grabbed another Pokeball, releasing Natu from her Pokeball. The psychic bird glanced at him with distrust, but eyed Teddiursa with a shiny sparkle in her eye. Her eyes glowed purple and she levitated the Pokeball in front of Teddiursa.

"Now, Natu. I know you don't like it much here with me, but if you could, once Teddiursa has made her decision could you teleport us back to Brightopolis? It would really help us out, and we can get you healed up at the Pokecenter."

Not a problem my friend. It was a pleasure to do this litte thing.

Teddiursa stared up at you blankly. In no way did she want to go back to that mean man, and she witnessed you put him in his place. As far as she was concerned, you were her hero, and would gladly join you in hopes of finding somewhere she could not only better herself... but the trainer she fought for.

Natu, althopgh angry, welcomed the chance to Teleport. It liked doing it, even if it was with some stuck-up trainer who she would rather poke their eyes out than fight for them.
