So this was Brightopolis. Elizabeth had never been to such a large city and by request no less. Trainers from all over were arriving at the city due to the unique circumstances of the contest. It was a bit frightening but exciting at the same time. As she walked, she rolled one of the special Pokeballs she'd received upon entry into the city around in her hand. Looks just like any ol' Pokeball. She shrugged dropping it back in the small sack of Pokeballs. This contest should prove exciting and she'd hopefully gain a new and perhaps rare Pokemon out of it. Though she wondered if it would be as difficult to work with as Chani had been upon first capture. She'd yet to acquire another wild Pokemon. Loki'd been adopted, Tyson her OME partner, Flick a surprise gift from an unknown benefactor, unhatched Squirtle a gift from her parents and of course her starter Tansy. Speaking of which Liz realized her young Bulbasaur was several feet ahead of her nearly out of sight.

As usual, Tansy had wandered ahead still within ear shot of her trainer. She'd gotten better about going too far on her own after their experiences in Rose Town. The grass type was thrilled to be in the bustling city. So many sights and sounds and people and Pokemon. This place was sure to be filled with adventure. She was a bit surprised Loki hadn't broken free of his ball to attempt wrecking havoc on the town. Though it was still daylight and the ghost was probably still sleeping.

"Tansy! Slow down there's no need to rush." Liz called to the Bulbasaur having finally caught up with her. Tansy looked back to her trainer with a broad grin on her features. Liz just shook her head as she reached down to caress Tansy's.

"Excited huh? Well let's focus on finding Pokemon and capturing them. Be nice if this whole PokeRus thing was over with. I'm not even sure what wild Pokemon are normally like." She sighed as she straightened up and turned to scan the area. "Ok Tans be ready for anything. Not sure what sort of Pokemon we'll be dealing with but I've only got you four at the moment. Hopefully that'll be enough to keep us in the game for awhile."

Coming without a full team might prove troublesome but Liz hoped they'd last long enough to catch a good, unique group of Pokemon. She was hoping for something rare, maybe an Eevee or a Dratini or Absol or Lapras or Rapidash, the list went on and on in her head. She'd have to be sure to pass the docks to look for water types too. There was no telling what kind of Pokemon were in the area.

The streets of Brightopolis were uncannily empty, and as you strode down the center of the street, you took in the uncomfortable silence. Skyscrapers towered around you. A newspaper caught in the wind was stuck in storm-drain. You were utterly alone. The sound of your footfalls echoed off the plentiful walls. A cracked shop window was the only sign of destruction in this part of the city.

You soon stumbled upon a most curious design, embedded in the concrete. It was a sun, bright orange and streaked with yellow. The texture was more like rock than pavement, and spreading from it were cracks, serpentine and winding their way outward. The entire design was steaming.

A sudden shout broke your trance. Tearing your eyes from the unusual design, you followed the reverberations down an alleyway. At the far end, two bug dueled. An overly-agitated Heracross plunged its blue horn towards an aggressive Pinsir, who recoiled, and came back waving its pointed pincers. They clamped up the Heracross, and picked it up in the air. With a mighty heave, the beetle was thrust the length of the alley, sliding a brown puddle. Leaping forward, the Pinsir continued the battle.

In your surprise, you stepped backward, and trod upon the emblem. Your shoes quickly turned burning-hot, and you shockingly jumped backwards. The design lifted from the cement, really a Solrock. It vented steam from its rippled surface, and scowled the best a rock could scowl.

A few steps into the city, and you had two confrontations on your hands.

Ok so the ground just moved and two bugs were beating the crap out of each other. Well the bugs weren't a problem at the moment, maybe Liz could even wait until they'd weakened themselves and not even have to do anything. Now about this this strange orange sun.

"Oh gosh I'm sorry." Liz apologized to the Solrock. She'd never seen such a Pokemon and retrieved her Pokedex scanning the rock. Interesting, a Solrock. Don't see those too often. Rock and Pyschic, hmm. Tansy stared up at the floating rock and tilt her head to one side. The rock hadn't attacked them yet maybe she could reason with this one without having to fight it. If that didn't work, well it was a rock type and Tansy had the advantage when it came to rocks.

"Hey Solrock are you ok? Must be feeling awful with this PokeRus going around huh? I didn't mean to step on you. I'm actually here to try and help you Pokemon get over this nasty PokeRus. If you let me take you back to the mayor they can cure you, you'd be back to your old self." Liz failed to mention that trainers would get to keep their pick of the Pokemon captured. Still if she could talk Solrock into going to get cured willingly it might want to go with a trainer. She wasn't sure if trainers picked from their own group of captured Pokemon or if it was from all Pokemon captured but if she had the choice, she'd try to let Solrock go. It was a pretty cool Pokemon and she wouldn't mind keeping it but she wouldn't take advantage of it if it agreed to go with her.

Tansy bobbed her head reassuringly at the Solrock but kept a wary eye on the wild Pokemon. If it did decide to attack, Tansy'd hit it hard with Razor Leaf then knock it out with Sleep Powder. She glanced over at the two dueling bugs also watching them cautiously. At the moment they were focused on one another not worried about the trainer. But Tansy wanted to be sure they didn't decide Liz looked more threatening than their current opponent. With one eye on the bug battle and one on Solrock the pair awaited Solrock's response wondering if the rock would attack or agree to go with Liz back to the mayor.

As the Pinsir charged to the fallen Heracross, who was trying to get up, the stag beetle closed its pincers on the horn of the beetle. Heracross tried to counter with a slash of its claws covered with a dark aura, aiming for the head. Unfazed by the attack, the Pinsir began to toss the Heracross in a circle. The beetle experienced unimaginable amounts of pain as its spinal cord was bent in all manners of directions. Finally, the stag beetle released its hold on the blue beetle. The Heracross was sent flying upwards in the air, then came down to the ground on its belly. Believing that he had total control of the battle, the Pinsir leaped again towards the fallen Heracross.

The Solrock was a bit distracted between you, your wary Bulbasaur, and the bugs. The sun decided that, as long as the bugs do no bother it, it would not get involved in the heated battle not too far off. It decided that you and the little weed deserve more immediate attention.

Nonplussed by your apology, the rock sun began orbiting you. If you didn't know any better, it was sizing you up. Hmm, hmm, you don't look too bad, but looks can be deceiving. It had the feeling that you were hiding something from it. Dissatisfied with your response, it stopped orbiting you, and put some distance between you and itself. Suddenly, you had the feeling that it wanted to see proof of your words.

But what kind of proof? That was the big question.

Well it hadn't attacked her that was good news. Tansy relaxed just a bit as the Solrock backed off to watch them. So hmm, proof, how was she supposed to provide proof of what she'd said? Liz frowned though the racket caused by the battling bugs distracted her. They were looking pretty worn out at this point. She looked down at Tansy then motioned toward the bugs.

"Give them a heavy dose of Sleep Powder and I'll see if I can get them in these Park Balls." Tansy nodded in understanding. She turned to face the bugs and released the blue spores of her Sleep Powder toward the dueling pair. Liz popped two Park Balls from her sack and tossed them after the powder. She watched for the outcome before turning back to Solrock. Be nice if she could tell what the psychic rock was thinking. Maybe a mediator would help.

"Loki help me out here bud." She raised the ghost's Pokeball and released the mischief maker. The Misdreavus yawned in exageration as thoguh to show her he wasn't happy about being disturbed.

'What now? I was having a lovely dream.' The ghost peered around slowly drifting toward her. Liz raised a brow skeptically at his innocent act. Unable to help himself he grinned and swooped around her head to yank at a strand of hair. Liz did nothing to intervene, she wanted him in a good mood. Though it seemed Loki suspected there was something up.

'Not going to stop me? Make a fuss? Come now what do you want?' Liz shook her head then gestured to the Solrock. Loki seemed to turn himself inside out until he was now facing the Solrock without ever turning around.

"Would you mind asking it what kind of proof it wants?" Loki rolled his eyes then had his body follow suit till he was upside down. Liz just watched him arms crossed over her chest.

'Fine, fine whatever you wish madame. Though it'd be easier for me to just hit that thing with a Shadow Ball and be done with it.' Liz cleared her throat and the ghost drifted toward the Solrock grumbling.

'So Solrock, what's the deal? What kind of proof do you need?'

Whoa. Lots of stuff happening around here, isn't there? With the intent to shut down the jostling bugs, Tansy did her thing with the ease and skill of an expert, at least of her type. Pinsir, the overall weaker of the bugs, fell like a rock once the soft powder coated his exoskeleton, immobilizing him for the better part while his less naturally colored counterpart danced about, groggy at first.

The yellow eyes of the herculean bug fell and rose as if attached to a rubber band. As a pokeball sailed passed his groggy face, he reeled back, suddenly alert again as his sparring opponent disappeared into the hinged hemispheres of the strangely striped ball. With eyelids slanted, the heracross shook free of the thin powder coating his body, with the intention of putting the pollinator down.

"Heracross!" he hissed, clicking together his two-pronged claws. Thrusting his claws deep through the pavement, he huffed and scratched at the cracked asphalt. He appeared almost like a rapidash, angered that you had stumbled into his territory, but rather unfortunately, this pokemon had a horn at least three times the size of its pointy cousin. He wasn't going to ignore the bulbasaur anymore!

He sprang up and surged forward, claws in front of his body like a shield as he rammed into the bulbasaur, knocking poor Tansy aside like a matador being mauled by his bull. Regaining her balance, Tansy was ready once more to give or take beatings, and in the meanwhile, the second parkball met a similar fate. Even the trainer seemed to have a tough time, dodging the pokeball that had been batted back to her by the ferocious Hercules beetle.

-

And in the mean-meanwhile, the solar rock shrugs its metaphoric shoulders. It didn't know what kind of proof it wanted, it just wanted some. Maybe the best would be to ask it to just follow and see. Maybe it'll changes its mind later on - pokemon and people alike were like that. Get to know them.

Well that was one. Liz retrieved the ball containing Pinsir. She stored it in her bag along with the other Park Balls. Alas the Heracross still showed plenty of fighting spirit. Tansy took a hard blow but she was back on her feet awaiting orders from Liz. The teen frowned studying the Heracross for a moment. Tansy had a disadvantage to the bug and she didn't want her taking anymore hits. Loki it seemed was bored with the Solrock and drifted back to her side. Casually Liz motioned to the Heracross.

"Loki before that bug does anymore damage, would you handle it with Astonish?" She didn't want to hurt the Heracross too much more just weaken it a bit more so Tansy's Sleep Powder would take affect. With any luck Astonish would cause Heracross to flinch and do enough damage to make it less resistant to capture. Tansy glanced up at Liz a slight frown on her face. Liz gave her a reassuring smile and knelt down to rub her head.

"Don't worry Tans you're not out of this fight yet. Give that bug the thickest Sleep Powder you can muster." Tansy smirked and nodded. She watched the ghost circling above waiting for him to strike. Loki seemed to be humming to himself eyeing the Heracross. Then the ghost attacked quick and without warning. He was very good at what he did. Tansy followed suit laying on the Sleep Powder as thick as she could.

Liz let her pair handle the bug while she turn back to Solrock. She frowned, the Solrock didn't seem in any hurry to leave.

"Well Solrock you're welcome to tag along with us see what I mean by cure the Pokemon. Once I've used up all these balls we'll head back to the mayor and he'll give them the medication. I won't try to stick you in one of these unless you try to hurt me or my Pokemon, ok? We're just using these balls to keep us and other Pokemon safe from some of the more vicious Pokemon." The Solrock seemed pretty stable for being PokeRus infected. Liz just hoped it would stay that way. Loki and Tansy seemed to be more than a match for it at least.

Liz glanced back to check on the bug. She readied another Park Ball ready to send it at the bug if it fell asleep. Liz just hope it wouldn't break out.

This would not take long. The quick Misdreavus was in there, flying in, smacking itself into the Heracross to stun it. It had been there one second, gone the next, and then right in its face the moment after that! Man, this was a crazy thing to be dealing with... this world was crazy... blood... death... destroy... zzz...

It was asleep. Tansy's sleep powder had worked.

With a Park Ball thrown, it could be easily sealed, and once the ball hit the floor and the ding resounded, the ball vanished into thin air, taken to the contest headquarters to be quarantined and vaccinated from the insane virus that was afflicting the region. One more capture down.

The Solrock, on the other hand, was not convinced. Humans were humans, through and through. Subjugation of creatures were what they did. Hell, that human had just done it then. Thusly, this human was a lying scumbag, and was probably about to turn on it next. So - it ran away. Very quickly, for a flying rock. It would not be seen again.

Liz had just messed that one up. It probably wasn't a good idea to try and talk something into joining with you when the cure was in the massive computer that had all the Park Balls zapped into it when things were captured, anyway.

'I told you.' Loki cackled as he circled about Liz. The teen sighed as the Solrock took off. Well maybe it would run into someone else who could help it. She'd tried not to harm the bugs when she captured them. Though to the wild Pokemon it probably looked bad capturing them at all. Well it seemed to be the only way for them to get the Pokemon to calm down long enough to give them the medication.

"Yea yea whatever. I just though I could reason with Solrock a little. Anyway, let's keep moving. We should keep an eye out for fire types. But Tansy you be careful if we find any ok?" Liz cautioned the grass type. Tansy frowned but nodded. She knew today Liz would need her most. If all of Liz's Pokemon were knocked out she'd be out of the competition. The trainer glanced at Loki with a raised brow. The ghost had yet to return to his ball, one thing he normally did when it was still day out.

"Not sleepy Loki?" She inquired suspiciously. Loki did a flip and came to hover next to her ear. It was a little odd that the Misdreavus would get so close unless he wanted to pull her hair. She turned her head to face him a little worried he was about to scream in her ear or something. Loki just cackled as he sensed her unease.

'Not scared of me are you madame? This little contest proves interesting, think I'll stick around for a bit. That is if her ladyship does not mind?' Liz gently shoved the ghost back a bit a little surprised he allowed her to touch him. Typically he remained incorporeal not allowing things to make physical contact with him. She was a tad wary of the ghost but shrugged.

"I suppose that's fine, if you're willing to help us find a fire Pokemon." Tansy made a face, a fire type yuck. Though a fire type Pokemon would make a good addition to the team. Liz had considered trying for something more unusual but felt that at the moment what she could use most was a little fire power. She'd been wanting a Ponyta, well a Rapidash, since she'd left home but wasn't sure if the horse like Pokemon would be in the city. Though everything and it's mother seemed to be here today. Maybe with a bit of luck she'd stumble across the equine. If not she'd be happy to find any fire type, preferably a Houndour.

"Come on you two let's not just stand here. Keep your eyes out for any Ponyta or maybe Houndour. I'll be depending on you Loki as Chani and Tansy are weak to fire types. Unless we find one that's pretty young, Tyson could probably handle a little one." She touched the small PokeBall at her belt containing the young fighter. Liz needed to get him into a few battles so he could grow but it was difficult when they kept bumping into stronger Pokemon.

Loki remained close to Liz's shoulder, he enjoyed making her nervous though Liz did her best to ignore him. She'd have to sit down with him sometime and see if she couldn't work out some of this mischievousness. Though secretly she did think he was fun. Tansy had taken to her like a fish to water. Chani she'd had to fight for her respect. Tyson did as she told because he was trained to take orders. Loki though, he was the strongest on her team and had a mind of his own. Yet he'd never outright disobeyed her in battle nor done anything to really harm her, just embarrass her. He was like the annoying older brother she'd never had. She had a feeling that deep down the ghost cared about her and wouldn't ever let anything happen to her.

Tansy scouted ahead, poking her head down alleys. Where would a Ponyta hide in a city? Though most of the Pokemon didn't seem real worried about hiding. With their minds infected by the PokeRus all they seemed to think of was fighting. Liz hoped that would change when they managed to cure them and all the Pokemon would be back to normal. Still it had been nice catching such a strong Scyther due to all this. Liz was still amazed she'd managed to convince Chani she was worthy of her respect. She'd only been a trainer for a short time but already Liz had learned a lot. And now was the time to keep an eye and ear open, alert for any Pokemon that might challenge them.

Even from your brief period of time so far in this contest, it was clear that PokιRUS had affected the local wildlife. When even the cutest, fluffiest, most harmless critters were snarling and foaming at the mouth, baying for blood and destruction, there was a problem.

Now imagine what the virus would do to a canine predator that could breathe fire. Not pretty, right? Well, your party was about to find out just how not pretty things could get out in the city.

The first thing you noticed was the smell wafting through the air. Not an unpleasant smell by any means - perhaps reminiscent of the Tauros Burger chain of restaurants. Fried chicken, or something similar. All well and good, but all shops in town had been closed for the duration of the contest.

Then came the snarling sound. A woosh in the air, then a snarl, then a ripping sound. Rounding the corner of a building, everything became horribly clear.

The good news was that you'd just found a Houndour. The bad news was what it was doing. You see, it had caught, and killed, a rather unfortunate Pidgey that was in the wrong place at the wrong time. What remained of the bird's body was in front of the pooch, looking thoroughly cooked. The Houndour occasionally seared the innards of its prey, then took a large bite. It noticed you mid-chew, and glared up at you and your pokιmon, snarling even with a mouthful of cooked Pidgey. Partly defending its meal, partly gearing itself up for the next fight.

There was always a next fight in this place.

Elizabeth frowned what on earth was that smell? Tansy made a face she had a feeling whatever made that smell it wasn't something good. Loki didn't seem to notice or care about the scent. He was too busy floating in front of Liz's face upside down. The teen didn't bother to move him, any reaction would only provoke him further. She could see around him well enough. And what she saw next made her gag.

"Oh gross." Her sudden queasiness made Loki flip around to face the dark canine. Tansy glared at the Houndour, nasty fire breather. Loki cackled and swooped over the dog's head quite enjoying the sight. Liz sighed, well they'd found one. And Pokemon had to eat, least he'd thought to cook the thing first. Poor Pidgey, in the wrong place at the wrong time. And now Houndour was gearing up for another fight. Being part dark type even Loki wouldn't be very effective against the canine. Still he was her best chance, only his sheer level difference would help them here. Better make quick work of this, Liz didn't want to give this Houndour a chance to escape or let her do much damage to her team.

"Loki? You paying attention?" Liz called not seeing the ghost. A soft cackle informed her he was still there and could hear her anyway. She rolled her eyes and pointed toward the Houndour. "Alright smarty-pants why don't you Shadow Ball then Astonish, if it's not too week, that Houndour hmm? Don't be too rough on it though. Be careful of any Dark attacks he'll throw at you, dodge them if you can."

'As you wish milady.' Loki cackled from some unseen vantage point. Liz knelt down beside Tansy and pointed to the canine.

"Same as before, hang back then Sleep Powder the crap out of him after Loki attacks." Tansy grunted, she wasn't going to get to have any fun today. Sleep Powder this, Sleep Powder that, was that all she was good for? Liz rubbed her bulb and smirked.

"Don't worry, we'll try to find some Pokemon you're not disadvantaged again next. Then you can Vine Whip and Razor Leaf the crap outta them ok?" Tansy's eyes burned and she grinned up at Liz. The pair turned to watch for Loki's impending attack. Liz pulled a Park Ball from her bag ready to toss it after her two's round of attacks.

Ever seen what dogs would do when they're hungry? No? Let's fix that, eh?

The Doberman snarled even more when she saw that you are not going to leave him be. You didn't heed her warning, though, and sent out your Pokemon to interfere with her meal. To be more precise, STEAL her food from right underneath her nose! Outrageous! This human must pay!

She put down the half-eaten bird, and stood guard over it. She took in a breath just as the Shadow Ball hit her. Fortunately, the dog barely hung on. It's quite impressive that she's even standing in the first place. Otherwise, she would be laying on the ground, out cold. Huzzah for the mod taking away one point of damage so that the dog could fight back!

The Doberman pup let her breath out at the Misdreavus. She added in her voice in a powerful roar despite her injuries. While Ghost Pokemon are typically not scared, this Roar actually managed to make Loki recall himself back into his ball.

Shaken, but determined to put this dog out of commission, Tansy spread some blue powder at the dog. The dog's eyes drooped for a moment there, then snapped open. Ever hear of the Early Bird ability? The one that renders sleep techniques less effective? This Houndour has the ability, which was quite useful for this situation.

She opened her mouth, and fire appeared. Fearful that the fire would defeat your weed, you toss the ball before the dog could have a chance to fling it at the weed. The ball made contact with the dog, and she disappeared in a flash of red light. The ball snapped shut, and fell to the concrete with a clatter.

The ball shook once or twice before bursting open in an explosion of fire. The dog appeared, and shot the already forming fire in her mouth straight towards the little weed. The fire hit dead-on, and the Bulbasaur fell back with X_X eyes. If the weed was at full health, she might've survived the fire.

This is what happens when you try to mess with a hungry dog defending her meal.

Elizabeth let out a groan as she watched the battle play out. She hadn't bet on Houndour having an Early Bird ability. And the dog was still resilient enough to break free of the Park Ball.

"Oh no Tansy!" She could only look on helplessly as Tansy was engulfed by the fire. Her partner collapsed completely out. Liz reached down to gently caress the Bulbasaur's blackened bulb. She'd be fine after a being in a Pokemon Center. But now Liz was down to three Pokemon and she no longer had the advantage Sleep Powder would provide. Reluctantly she recalled Tansy to her PokeBall for the first time since she'd gotten her from the Lab. She couldn't carry Tansy around the city until the contest was over and in her state Tansy wouldn't awaken anytime soon. As long as she got her out of the ball before she was revived Tansy shouldn't freak out. She released Loki once more if only for protection least the Houndour try to attack her.

"Just use Confuse Ray if she tries to attack. I don't want to hurt her anymore if possible." She instructed the scaredy-cat ghost. Loki seemed confused as to why he'd fled, the Houndour wasn't that scary at least now that she had stopped roaring. He seemed a tad embarrassed about fleeing and nodded dully to Liz.

The teen quickly reached for another Park Ball. The Houndour couldn't resist the lure of the ball for too long, not in her current state. She'd just keep using Park Balls until the dog was too tired to resist.

Gen.EXP; 0.3 - Sorry if it's crappy. My brain is dying. Headache, four days straight. @_@ Muse is also slowly dying.
-------------

Due to my brain hurting. We'll do this a bit informally. Welcome to the day that Kaiz is tired and twitchtastic. It'll be another KaizMod Productions here today in the writing lab. Bright lights and loud music, bad glasses prescription - must be the reason for the headache, but you know? That doesn't really matter. What matters is that people get mods and I mod them. So, not to be forgotten under the mess of things that is this mod contest, I mod.

Just one.

A park ball, which I suspect looks a lot like a safari ball, because I don't know? Well, it looks a bit like a camouflage paint bucket exploded on the top portion of these particular balls, just like scarlet sins and blood color the normal pokeballs. Great balls are probably based on the pokemon Machoke. I mean really, they're blue-purple thing with red stripes! What's more, they're very... protrusive like epidermal armor.

Also, as a disclaimer for all things blue and beautiful, which goes with purple and some shades of red, I'm a color blind kid, so if I get the colors wrong, it ain't my fault.

And before we leave the subject of pokeballs, I just want to cover the ultra ball - it's yellow and black. We can't say that it was based on umbreon, because... well, that cute pokemon came afterward. Who knows the origin of this strangely better pokeball? Not I. Nor do I know the origins of its color scheme. Best leave it a mystery, I say.

On the other hand, I must be boring you with my rambling so back to the real deal. A park ball is thrown and Loki prepares to attack. It sails through the air and knocks out the otherwise healthy (sarcasm) pokemon. Closing its hinged after devouring the black and orange pelted beast like a Thanksgiving Turkey, it doesn't even roll.

Nothing's fighting back.

The red light on the white pokeball fades. Another moment, another life saved. Hey, you've got more pokemon to find and catch. Move, move, MOVE!

And this has been a KaizMod Product. We reserve the right to bore folks to death. Thanks.

Whew, Liz was glad that Houndour hadn't been able to fight off the ball a second time. The teen made a mental list in her head of her captures so far. Three Pokemon in total, not a very long list. Shame she hadn't thought to just capture that Solrock by force. Still she had some time left if she wanted to keep trying.

Loki'd gotten over his brief moment of fright and now drifted lazily around Liz's head waiting for the girl to make up her mind.

'Well? Anything else you want to beat up and trap in a tiny space?' Liz shot Loki a dirty look, he knew very well that wasn't what she was meaning to do. She reached up and playfully tugged at the hairlike wisp on his head. Loki made a face at her focusing his energy to make her hand pass through him. Liz smirked, hard to get one's hands on a ghost.

"I've got nothing better to do. Might as well poke around and see what else we can find. Let's see, maybe something Tyson can handle." She tossed the Tyrogue's ball into the air calling forth her infantry partner. The fighter turned and saluted her as soon as he'd materialized.

"At ease Tyson. This is Loki he's one of your fellow officers." She returned the salute then motioned to the Misdreavus. Tyson relaxed and stood with his legs spread evenly apart and hands clasped behind his back. He inclined his head slightly to Loki who just stuck his tongue out causing Tyson to blink in surprise. Liz rolled her eyes then waved her hand toward the city. "At the moment we're on a mission to detain wild Pokemon in order for them to receive medical treatment for this PokeRus outbreak."

Tyson nodded in understanding and fell into step alongside Liz. The trio made their way through the city slowly working their way back to the contest main office. Liz figured they'd try to capture any remaining Pokemon while on their way back.

Heavy breathing could be heard faintly somewhere in the distance, but to the pokemon, it was right in her chest. Breathing was difficult for some reason, and her cheeks felt swollen. Unlike the others of her species, she was fair from being energetic, in fact, she was the opposite. She felt lethargic, easily irritated. She wanted no more than to release the swollen feeling in her cheeks and to feel unhurt. It appeared the the PokeRUS virus had left her susceptible to other diseases, and even now, she felt her temperature rising.

Keeping her body close to the cool asphalt, she tried to disperse the painfully hot flame now in her core. Breathing in and out, she felt only the pounding in her head and everything around her was blocked out. She couldn't see anything now, the heat slowly destroying her everything. It was likely that her body temperature as nearing that of brain damage, as it had already begun to eat away at her sight.

The steps of a trainer sounded like the pounding tremors of a giant, she looked around, but could not see. Only her ears were reliable now, in this "night." Fear gripped her. Was this it? "Pika!" she shouted, trying to scare away whatever was there. "CHU!" A thunderbolt struck her, discharging the energy about her, making her, for the moment, untouchable. Remember what your mother told you about cornering animals? Don't startle a blind one.

They hadn't gone far when the sound of heavy breathing reached Tyson's ears. Elizabeth's hearing wasn't nearly as keen as her Pokemon companions. Tyson held up a hand signaling to her that something was ahead. Liz glanced at the Tyrogue with a frown before venturing on ahead. When her gaze fell on the sickly Pikachu her heart went out to it. She didn't know why but she'd always held a soft spot for the little electric mouse.

"Oh no, easy Loki, Tyson, we don't want to scare her." Liz murmured to her two companions. Well this was a dilemma. Liz strongly felt it would be better to try and get Pikachu to consent to capture, yet due to the nature of the contest if she didn't act quickly she could risk injury to her Pokemon and not be of any help at all. Pikachu appeared to be in no shape to battle, though a sick and frighten Pikachu could be very dangerous. Liz let out a heavy sigh.

"I hope I don't regret this, but I want to try and talk with her before we just attack. She'll probably be unreasonable though so be ready to battle." At any other time a sick Pikachu might've come with reasonable ease with a trainer but due to the nature of PokeRus Pokemon weren't thinking straight. Pikachu needed help and her best bet was with humans. But humans were what had forced her into the city in the first place, unlikely she'd trust one with her health.

"Tyson, I'm worried Loki'll just scare her if he tries to talk with her so I want you to try. Just let her know we're friends and mean her no harm. If she'll get into the Park Ball we'll get her all taken care of. If not and she attacks, use a Fake Out to quiet her and Loki use a weak Psybeam." Loki made a face, he scare her? Ok so he probably would. The ghost hovered just over Liz's shoulder making faces at her while she spoke with Tyson. The fighter seemed rather confused by the order, he was more of the attack first ask questions later type, but if that was what Liz wanted. He nodded then approached the Pikachu cautiously.

"It's ok, Pikachu. We're friends, we're not here to hurt you. We want to help. My trainer she can get you medical treatment, but in order to do that she'll have to put you in one of those balls. And I'm afraid that if you try to fight us we'll have to defend ourselves." Tyson felt a bit silly but he did his best to sound gentle and coaxing.

Liz picked up a Park Ball, watching Pikachu and Tyson carefully. If they had to attack she'd throw the Park Ball and hope Pikachu was too weak to resist. If she showed signs of listening to Tyson she'd wait to see if she'd agree to being captured. Poor Pikachu, it'll be ok little friend. One way or another.

Trying to reason with the poor frightened, confused, electriciy spouting rodent...very kind of you. The creature really had no idea what was going on here, couldn't see, and was paranoid and scared out of her life. As such, she lashed out as the others came near, unfortunately necessitating a chain of events that ended with one small sphere rattling on the pavement, before blipping out of existence to be taken care of.

Well, on the upside, she was getting the help she needed, though it wasn't certain how much damage is permanent at this point...still. Better than dead, no?

And it was unlikely that she would even remember any of this, as ill and frightened as all the diseases had made her.

Well that was that, at least Pikachu would be taken care of. Liz sighed and lead her pair onward. It was growing late and she could see that many other trainers where making their way back.

"Come on guys looks like this contest is over." Liz quickened her step. She arrived back at the entrance and returned the Park Balls. Not a bad haul really. Now to see who would win this and decide what Pokemon to take with her.
