Team for here:
Arcanine (Jax, Lv 40)
Granbull (Brandi, Lv 40)
Wailord (Leviathan, Lv 40)
Mightyena (Shinobi, Lv. 35)
Lucario (Anubis, Lv. 31)
Eevee (Faith, Lv. 5)

APL: 31.8

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ben slipped through Brightopolis as inconspicuously as possible. He was still a little wary of large cities, after the disaster that was the tournament, and the resultant fangirl horde from his fight with Floyd where the 'adorable' Anubis beat out Squishy in Granbull-mode. Still, with this rampant virus causing a horde of pokemon to crowd into the city, it was unlikely that he'd have to worry about such.

Still, the memory still made him twitchy. "Heh...you and me both..." Ben jumped at that, shooting a look over at one of his companions. Anubis wasn't so little or cute, any more...and additionally, they got along much better these days. His evolution had gifted him with a fair bit, not the least of which was the ability to communicate directly with Ben himself, instead of having to go through Maya like the rest of his team.

He almost wished he could have brought her on this trip, anyhow. An aerial spotter probably would have been handy. However, there were only so many spaces on his team, and he'd done his best to bring his most experienced teammates for this. From the sounds of things, it was going to be...interesting. He was probably one of the few trainers that had thus far somehow escaped any real contact with this disease until now....but odds are many pokemon found it as hard as many people to find Misthenge, where he'd been until recently.

When it came down to it, though...the main reason the Xatu wasn't in his party was due to the phobias of one of his current companions, the one that was a shimmering, silvery stole about his neck, who had been given some rather firm instructions to stay there.

Still, with the advent of the riolu's evolution into lucario, the warrior could translate instead, at least, if nothing else. “So I'm chopped liver, am I?”

Ben coughed at that, as Jax cast the jackal-esque pokemon a dirty look from Ben's other side. “Bah, you know I didn't mean you wouldn't be useful in other ways...” It was very true, after all. With his evolution had come a great deal of power, and a pair of TMs that Ben had been saving for the event only made him even more versatile. Jax had been the benificiary of a third, for some reason to both her delight and chagrin. For some reason, the move bothered her a little.

He wasn't going to pry, though. And right now wasn't the time. As he'd surfed up on the blue whale, he'd all but had twenty balls shoved into his hands and himself shoved in the general direction of the city. He hadn't paid much mind to the rules of this 'game' when he'd made up his mind to get here as quickly as possible.

The sheer emptiness of the ocean he and Leviathan had sailed across had shook him. Sure, it was vast and easy to get lost on if you weren't careful...but the lack of wingull cries, other water pokemon darting through the waves below...it had become disturbingly eerie.

He didn't want the carelessness of people to wipe out the pokemon or anything. “A little late for that.” Ben resisted the urge to jump again, as Anubis once more interjected a sardonic reply.

“Could you maybe stop reading my mind?” he asked with a faint sigh, of the lucario. “See if you can't find anything around.” Another advantage of the evolution of the emanation pokemon...now, his ability to feel auras was quite refined, and he operated almost as well as a psychic when it came to pinpointing things.

“Maybe you should stop thinking so loud,” the lucario retorted with a smirk, but did turn his attention elsewhere, even as Jax did, nose working busily, to see what might pop out of the woodwork around here.

(Starting out near the docks as I would have ridden in on Levi, if that's fine. *shrugs*)

The mental powers of your aura-reading companion stretched out like a blanket, covering the area around as he searched for life by detecting the energy in all living things. However, the first thing he would find would not be from the concrete jungle stretching out ahead, but the silent ocean behind. An aura filled to the brim with anger and battle-lust came into his mind's view, and turning around would yield the sight of, for those of you who could see, a large brown creature hauling itself out of the water.

The Bibarel gnashed his teeth and cracked his knuckles, letting out a deep growl. The dopey expression his species usually wore was replaced by a look of fierce determination. Finally, something to take his anger and frustration out on, something to sate his hunger for violence. The powerhouse of a beaver wasn't taking any polite declines in reply to his challenge; he snarled at Anubis and lashed his tail in a way that said, clearly, 'give me your best shot.'

Anubis whirled as the rage and hate filling the whole city found a locus nearby, behind them, in fact. His lip curled as the beaver sneered and clambered onto the docks, gnashing his teeth in clear challenge. The water-sleek coat have the bulky creature an almost sleek and deadly appearance, and those teeth certainly weren't for show.

The steel warrior wasn't about to let some buck-toothed water dweller sneer down its nose at him, either, taking a step forward, pausing only as he noted a hand on his forearm, holding him back. Ben stood just behind him, head cocked to one side as he listened to the pokedex in his other hand as it rattled some information off. "Type advantages or no, that beaver would have you for dinner." Anubis' snarl only grew, at his trainer's lack of faith in him. Ben wasn't joking however, considering the nearly ten level difference. And he had no idea what this PokeRUS disease did to the pokemon's psyche or whatnot. "You want to face him, fine, but you will have backup. These aren't your average wild pokemon."

Without waiting for a response, Ben pulled a second pokeball out and pressed the release catch as he pocketed the pokedex again. "Keep your distance, and soften it up first," he said simply to the lucario as he let the jackal go, and took a step back. The ebon-furred hyena that appeared in the flash of red grinned wickedly as well. "Do what you do best, Shinobi," Ben finished, simply.

The warrior didn't wait a moment longer, wheeling and raking his claws down the side of the nearest building as Ben covered his ears, letting a piercing wail fill the street that echoed unpleasantly, grating on the eardrums, while the hyena darted forward, multiplying as he went, a fierce grin plastered wickedly across multiple faces, warning of the bibarel's impending doom.

As the mightyena's closed in from several angles to lunge at the beaver, the lucario gathered the ambient aura around them all into a sphere of pure will and flung it after the dark type at the beaver, knowing there was little to fear about hitting the wrong target with this move...

Ben, for his part, stood by with Jax, pulling one of the balls he'd been given out of his pocket and fiddling with it, waiting to see how this round played out, ready to throw it if it seemed like the beaver had been weakened enough.

The Bibarel cringed at the painful sound, teeth grinding against eachother. Then the beaver merely sat down, the look on his face beginning to resemble the stereotypical dopey expression his species were known for as he simply...forgot the sound and its effect on him completely, ignoring entirely the new arrival and his evasion technique as he simply stared into space like a moron.

His expression snapped back to normal after the Aura Sphere hit him square in the stomach. Snarling, the beaver moved with impressive speed toward Anubis and grasped him with his small arms. Channeling a burst of strength, the wild beaver hurled the steel jackal to the ground and smashed his weight against him. He got up slowly, drained by the attack, but Anubis was worse off, left in a twitching heap.

But the Bibarel had forgotten Shinobi entirely, at least until a swarm of Mightyena sank their teeth into his back. Even if only one was real, the fact that his guard was down and his defenses were lacking to begin with made him squeal in pain, the last of his strength depleted.

The Bibarel fell to his hands and knees, a miracle that he was aware at all, and vanished into the Park Ball. Resistance was minimal, and ball signalled capture almost immediately. One PokeRUS-crazed beaver down.

.3 (Heh. I laughed. Is there partial XP still and stuff?)

Anubis smirked, as the beaver sat there like a stupid lump, just asking to be murdered, as he gathered his power and hurled it. Ben had been overreacting, he knew it, this stupid water dweller wasn't a threat, and there had been no need for him to send out the wolf to aid him.

Shinobi angled around the creature even as this happened, not nearly so overconfident as the young warrior. Evolved though he was, Anubis still had a lot to learn...but he wasn't about to warn him. A faint smirk flitted across his features as the beaver charged, though it vanished as the steel fighter shrieked in pain at the brutal assault, beaten, battered and flung to the side like a broken doll.

Ben winced sharply, himself, as the mightyena flashed across the remaining distance, burying his teeth in the back of the beavers neck, almost before he'd pulled back from the battered warrior. Not a moment of hesitation, though a feral snarl of malice snuck throught the chenched teeth into the hapless creature's fur as he yanked back, tearing a strip of flesh of even as the maneuver sent the creature sprawling near the pair's trainer, who wasted not a moment in nailing it with a pokeball. Much longer range and he might have had issue, but the pained squeal and thud of the bibarel nearby gave the blind trainer all the clues he needed to pinpoint it.

"You okay, Anubis?" As Jax and Shinobi formed a flank guard of sorts, ready to defend the two against anything that might see this as an opportunity to strike, Ben moved over to check one of his youngest pokemon's state. The lucario batted his questing hand away, teeth bared in a grimace of embarrassed fury.

It probably would have been better if the human had said 'I told you so,' but then again, gloating was almost worse than this concern. "I'm fine..." he managed, gritting his teeth as he levered himself to his feet. Ben took a step back, though he moved quicky enough as the fighter's legs buckled again, bracing himself to catch the weight. He grunted, forgetting that Anubis, even if he didn't look it, was part steel type, and much heavier than he looked.

"Perhaps you should rest a bit, for now, pal." He once more vaguely wished he'd brought Maya instead of the lucario, but Maya was no stronger...just wiser.

Still, aside from the silly rule that they'd insisted upon not allowing any item use, the young pokemon would recover well enough. If his pride would let him admit defeat.

Of course things wouldn't be that easy. "I said I'm fine." Anubis pushed to his feet once more and limped toward the city, wanting nothing more to do with the docks at this point. Jax nabbed the pokeball, even as it was sent off to be stored wherever, and Ben stifled a sigh as he paced the young warrior.

"At least let me give you a hand, for a bit?" he persisted, helping to shore the struggling pokemon up. "We're not here to prove who's better or anything, remember?"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I'll be all right, really." They continued further into the city slowly, flanked by the arcanine and mightyena, and he sagged again, against his trainer. "But...maybe a little help for a bit might be appreciated. Don't need it, but it'd be nice..."

Ben supported the pokemon, humoring him for the moment as Faith yipped encouragingly. "Of course not." And on they went, relying on the keen canine noses to spot any threats before they became ambushes.

Arcanine and Mightyena are using Odor Sleuth to search for pokemon.
Wouldn't mind seeing anything canine, particularly Electrike or Vulpix.

0.3 :gexp Yes, there is. .8 :exp for both the Lucario and the Mightyena.

Searching through the city was a great thing, really. There were, in theory, Pokémon everywhere due to the infestation caused by the virus. There was a lot to be said about it, though, because the Pokémon were starting to thin out. The hunting was quick, fierce and ferocious; as time progressed, there were fewer and fewer things. Pokémon even started to band together to take down the humans that were trying to take them away.

They were still nothing more than bloodthirsty monsters and turned on each other just as much as the humans, of course. The rotted, half-eaten corpse of a Buneary by the roadside was testament to that fact.

As Ben walked through the city of skyscrapers, were he able to see, he would have noticed it getting... darker... as he walked. As if there was a canopy starting to form above his head, something shrouding the sun from him and his party. There was nothing to smell yet, but the slowly-encroaching lack of warmth was certainly something to worry about, yes?

The overhead cover got deeper, and suddenly, there was no light or warmth to be had - as if someone had simply turned off the sun. Now, that wasn't possible, was it? What was going on in here that the sun was being blotted out?

Click. Click click.

Clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick-


A thousand skittering legs. A thousand enemies. And the hiss, the violent hiss, directly in Ben's face, of a drooling, acid-spitting spider, saliva falling from its fangs. Upon the web that they had spun, five male Ariados were watching and waiting, ready to help their enraged Queen - and they would not mind eating Ben and his companions. They were surrounded by web, trapped in their snare.

Hopefully Ben was not afraid of spiders.

.3 (*nodnods* Thanks. *makes a place to keep track of XP and other stuffs, too, so it doesn't get mixed up with the journey*)

The group slowed as the area slowly grew darker. While Ben certainly dodn't notice any difference, himself...there was that slowly growing feeling that raises the hairs on the back of your neck that was only growing stronger. Anubis was as tense, eyes darting about as he sought the source of this evil aura, bristling as it continued to just hover like a cloud, without a locus.

Jax and Shinobi flanked the trainer and injured warrior, edging closer and closer, till the whole group eventually just...stopped. "I think that we should perhaps go back the other way...I don't think I like it here..." Ben muttered to himself, turning in a slow circle, Faith scrunching down as low as possible on his shoulder. There was a faint clicking and chittering that was growing a little too swiftly louder for his comfort, and he didn't really want...

"Sweet mother of Lugia!" Ben squawked as there was abruptly a hiss just inches in front of his face, yanked practically off his feet as the Lucario on his arm burst out with that exclamation of shock and threw himself backwards, reacting to the leering face with all the shock and startlement that the queen likely wanted. Ben was a little less daunted by the maneuver, not being able to see the horror itself, which did sometimes come in handy, like now.

He'd never had a specific fear of bugs, or even spiders in specific, not really having run into them much, but it was entirely possible that would change in the near future. Even as he struggled to maintain his balance, letting go of Anubis so the lucario wouldn't finish pulling him off his feet, he was already yanking another pokeball out of his belt and releasing it's contents into the street as well.

"Scare tactics!" he shouted, as he dug for some of the park balls and the pokedex, to get the necessary information on these beasties. The lavender bulldog grinned, her face one that only a mother could love, as the light faded out, even as Shinobi and Jax moved around to either side, facing the bugs, teeth flashing.

He considered himself lucky that he had a fair bit of advantage on these bugs, but...they were outnumbered, and trapped. Not good things. Anubis, at least, was immune to poison, but none of his other companions had any such protection, which was decidedly less than stellar, too. He also happened to be rather badly injured.

All in all...best to try and improve the odds a bit. The three dogs on his side of the field knew exactly what he was looking for, and they all were smart enough to use things to their best advantage. For once, even the loner Shinobi was more than willing to work with the others.

At least, initially. The arcanine, mightyena, and granbull all roared a gleeful challenge at the group of bugs. Jax added a gout of flame to hers, the fire roaring forth, aimed at any bug that didn't wise up and vacate.

Brandi, for her part, wasn't going to play the effective game, her breath frosting the very air around them as she watched, ready to see what bug tasted like if they didn't take the hint. And Shiboi's paws were already flying, clawing their way even through concrete. They couldn't poison what they couldn't see, after all...

Meanwhile, Anubis recollected the worst of his wits, lancing out with his mind and attempting to shred the queen's very psyche, teeth bared. "Scare me, will you..." he snarled, gathering the darkness around them to fling that in her face too if the Psychic wasn't enough, Faith barking eager encouragement to the steel fighter, despite Ben's best efforts to shut her up, though wise enough at least to remain in his arms, where he hoped that nothing came after her, but was ready to try to defend them both if it came to that.

"We're not trying to kill them..." Ben muttered uneasily, making ready with the pokeballs, and hoping that Jax was being careful with all that fire and aiming it. No, he wasn't specifically afraid of spiders... but there was plenty of time still to acquire such a thing...

Being trapped in an inferno of burning web was another story entirely.

And for the fact this is going to be way too long and I have a lot of mods to write, I shall keep this simple. Remind me never to make such a big battle again.

The massive effects of the Roar were such that, well. Three large, powerful Pokémon roaring at the top of their lungs in order to terrify a colony of gigantic spiders had to have some effect somewhere, didn't it? A Granbull, an Arcanine and a Mightyena - three powerful canines that would undoubtedly be able to scare anything with their battery of powerful voices. The five male Ariados fled, unsure whether they could take on this mighty combination of canine warriors.

The flames of the Flamethrower licked, burning at web; the flames climbed up the silken strands slowly as the scent of burning things filled the air. The Queen, not attached to the main webs, did not need to move; her voice was a counteracting roar, trying to terrify Ben from in front of his face.

The next thing she knew, the spider was twitching on the floor, mentally decimated, unable to control her bodily functions any more. She was out of this battle, thanks to the combined power of Faith and Anubis. The sheer power of the Psychic unleashed was too much for her mind to handle, and that meant that it could not be captured, unfortunately, for ten seconds after the mental blast, the twitching ceased, and the Ariados Queen fell to insanity and unconsciousness together.

This battle was over.

Faith and Anubis gain 0.7 :exp each - the others do not. I'm classing them as two separate battles.

.4 So had I, actually, which was why I separated them. No problem. And...yeah. I've made that mistake before myself.

The roars were deafening, even more so to one who depended on hearing, and Ben fell back under the onslaught of sound, which probably helped the confidence of the queen as she prepared to take care of business.

"I said we didn't want to kill them..." Ben muttered, moving over to see if the bug was still breathing or not.

"I wasn't trying to." Anubis responded irritably, ears slicking back, even as he felt stronger for the fight (gains a level from this and the prior fight, level 32 in here, for the moment).

"I wasn't talking to you." Faith contrived to look innocent in Ben's arms. Stupid insect deserved it, trying to eat them all. Before the trainer could elaborate further, however, the acrid tang of smoke tickled the back of his throat and he coughed and swore. "Jax..!"

Without wasting a moment, he tossed Faith back onto his shoulders as he recalled Anubis, Brandi and Shinobi into their balls and caught hold of the white arcanine's fur as she bounded over. "Grab the spider and run." This is said if the spider is determined to be not yet dead completely from the psychic blast.

He wasn't about to condemn her to a fiery death because she couldn't get out of there, after all. However, if the bug was already definitely departed, he didn't bother saying anything, just scrambling aboard the huge canind and letting her carry them out of the death-trap.

"Be more careful next time..." he grumbled as they moved on, depositing the queen spider (if they got her out of there with them) in a secluded alley to recover, or not, as the case might be.

After a firm reprimand, Ben found that Queenie was will alive. Hauling her to safety - though who knew how safe a dark ally was - she was abandoned and onward went the duo. As they came to a turn in the grid-layout, the commencing fight before them was something strange. Two different species, both horned and hooved, were rutting. The massive muscles in their necks helped to absorb the recoil as their horns crashed together with a magnificent sound.

It was like poetry in motion as the two gaunt beasts backed up and then rammed forward like steam trains. Unlike the gallant, steadfast arcanine that towered over the two, they were wild and were unlikely to become tame at anytime. Now, or in the rest of their lifetime, or that could have been due to the current virus. As they came crashing together once more, their horns locked together like a puzzle.

The stronger pokemon, muscle wise, tossed his great body, literally swinging the stantler over, but they remained on their feet, shaking their heads as they tried to unlock their horns and regain the upper hand. As of now, Tauros seemed to have the upper horn in this all, but if stantler's mind cleared enough from the jarring, Tauros might have a psychic blast, but for now, the two were content with close combat.

Until their dark eyes fell upon the arcanine's.

They trotted through the city, searching for any pokemon that might still be roaming free, Ben occasionally wondering what might come of the spider that he'd sort of rescued of sorts, at least from fiery death. There was any number of things that might end up occurring, there. Still, things moved on, and the situation changed.

The grunts, bellows and snorts indicated that the testosterone levels nearby were at near peak levels, as they came across the two duelling hooved creatures. Ben sat up a bit more, cocking his head to the side and pulling his pokedex out, training it on the two creatures to pick up a bit more info.

Tauros and Stantler, eh? Certainly neither of them city dwellers...and likely rather far from home. Still, the horned creatures must butt heads over anything, be it territory or women, was certainly evident. And this one was likely territory, since there was no sign of female-ish-ness about other than Jax and Faith, and those two had only just arrived upon the scene.

He was content to sit back and watch for the moment...however, he felt the muscles of the great dog beneath him tense up as the pair of them abruptly noticed the hulking presence of the white hound. It was rather hard to hide, anyhow. If the white fur wasn't a big neon sign pointing them out...the sheer size of the arcanine likely didn't help, either.

"Shinobi, Brandi, have another go. Weaken 'em, but don't take them out. And you be quiet." Faith looked, if anything, even more innocent than before as he sent the two pokemon out.

"Give the tauros a bit of a shock, Brandi...Shinobi, poison, and keep on your toes with the Stantler." Ben didn't elaborate further, perfectly willing to let his pack come up with their own battle strategies, beyond a certain point.

Brandi grinned, her face made even more disturbing by a tooth lost to Floyd's pokemon a while back, gathered electricity out of the very air and hurled it at the bull with a grin as she bounded around to the side of the beast. Oh how she loved battles...

Shinobi, on the other hand, disappeared into the ground again, burrowing as fast as his paws could fly. Oh how he loved this maneuver...and to ice the cake, he began to gather a rather nasty poison, sweating out his very pores...that would make the stantler even sicker as soon as he could touch the deer with it.

Ben, meanwhile, prepared a few more park balls, ready to see about catching these two muscleheads.

Upon realization that you were about to attack Tauros and Stantler struggled wildy to break free. Their locked horns finally gave way and Tauros immediately set upon Brandi charging the Granbull. Brandi fired off the Shock Waves but it wasn't enough to stop Tauros from ramming into the canine. Brandi was knocked on her back and slid a ways but she soon returned to her feet ready for more. Tauros reared then slammed his hooves back on the pavement. While you threw your Park Ball Tauros dodged the projectile. The bull was still raring to go and glared at Brandi. Seems like your attacks only made Tauros mad.

Stantler on the other hand wasn't doing nearly as well. Shinobi dug into the earth faster than Stantler could react and now he had to wait for the dark canine to reappear. Suddenly the earth beneath Stantler shot upward throwing the deer to the ground. Stantler staggered to his feet and while he was injured wasn't ready to give up the fight. He imitated his bull rival and charged Shinobi slamming his full weight into the canine. Yet the contact gave Stantler a shower of toxins which brought the deer to his knees. Shinobi shook his head but came back from the blow with relative ease. Stantler could barely see from the poison. Your Park Ball was the last thing Stantler did manage to see. After a resounding ping the ball was teleported away.

The psychic deer had been routed but you still had an angry Tauros to deal with.

"Good job, Shinobi..." Ben commented quietly, debating the merits of sending him off to poison the Tauros as well, but decided against it for the moment. "Careful, girl, we're trying to catch them, not kill them!" he added, to Brandi, as he recalled the mightyena from the field.

Considering that Brandi wasn't at all deterred by the bull pokemon, it wasn't an Intimidator as well, at least. Ben double checked with the pokedex, even as Brandi bounded back onto her feet. Anger Point...hmm. Well, good thing they hadn't gotten any critical hits, then.

Brandi smirked and whuffed, turning the charm on the testosterone filled beast, sashaying over from where she'd gotten thrown. "You are a big strong boy, aren't you?" she all but purred, quite a feat for a bulldog. She was cautious on her approach, however, ready to try to dodge the bull's charge. It was a disappointment that the Shock Wave hadn't paralyzed the lug, but she wasn't about to chance another one, even at reduced power.

"I could eat a big boy like you all up I think..." the smile turned a bit feral as she pounced, but belying her words, she was merely attempting to pin the bull down in a careful tackle, to help prevent it from dodging the next ball Ben threw.

Jax, for her part, maneuvered the both of them around and behind this scene, to provide a better target. "I sometimes think she has way too much fun with that..." Ben muttered softly, as he waited.

Bull-wrestling was a rather dangerous sport. Bulls tended to gore things with their horns, and getting close to that meant that you tended to do silly things and get yourself into spots that you really didn't want to be in.

Brandi apparently didn't care about those dangers. Instead, she was hitting on said bull, trying to keep it calm as it tried to attack her with its face. It was a reasonably effective tactic, in some ways. It didn't stop her getting charged at with those horns after she tried her best to keep it at bay, but after that, she did manage to get the big beast down on the ground into a pin.

That was a sight. A Granbull wrestling with a Tauros. It was the most ridiculously-hilarious sight of the day other than the one retarded Shellos.

And, as fortune would have it, the pinning had managed to drain just enough fight out of that Tauros for it to be captured. Glee!

Bull wrestling 101! Ben listened with a slight wince as paws met horns and the two wrestled wildly about in the middle of the street, and hurled the second pokeball hurriedly, and this time it worked.

Thank goodness. Brandi flexed a little, smugly, before he recalled her and nudged Jax gently with his heel. "Let's see what's left out there, eh, girl?" He wasn't picky, though he'd not seen anything yet he'd keep, even if given the option as he was. Still, he was doing this to try to help with getting these critters cured more than anything.

So even if he didn't get anything he'd keep, it was good enough, he supposed. Still...if they ran into an Electrike or Vulpix, he might reconsider. Still...eh. No use speculating.

There were likely still a few more pokemon out there to try to help.


Looking for more pokemons to catch rescue, riding on Jax and exploring the city. Anything canine would be awesome, but not picky.

A tiny voice. Help me.

A flash: a dark alley. I can't get free.

A blast of weak psychic energy. Hurry...

It brought sudden dizziness to Ben, but it was clear what this pokemon would one day become, if not now. Soon, a wide burst of fire streamed from one of the alleys, charring the sides of the brick building and causing stray garbage to light and smolder. The stench rose into the air, scorching the nostrils of all who even wafted the olfactory disgrace.

Those of the canis species might find it overwhelming, but it was nothing that could cause the pokemon in question to fall back and away. Running towards the alley, Ben and his pokemon would find a vicious stand off, a fire breathing vulpine cornered near the back of the alleyway. With a glance towards the pack of newly arrived, a grin appeared on the vulpix's maw.

I'm glad you could make it, he apparently telepathically communicated. His smile flickered with small licks of fire, if he had the chance, he would attack again, but he felt himself falter. And who was beating the crap out of him? Unlike sleek form associated with the pokemon, a severely matted, patchy-furred pokemon stood hunched, facing the vulpix.

Just barely, the side of his face could be seen - darkened and bloody from meals passed and cleaned wounds. He looked utterly disgusting, almost the walking dead, but it was clear here who the upper hand was claimed by. With sharpened yellow eyes he glared at the newly arrived team just as the vulpix smiled.

"Buizel," he said mockingly.

Spitting on the ground, the buizel looked ready to take out the vulpix and commence feasting on his battered bones. Better hurry it up there.

.4 (My god...I am never going to be able to look at a Buizel the same way again. That is impressive.)

There had to be...Ben started, catching himself before falling from Jax's back as a thought insinuated itself into his head. It wasn't quite as jarring as it might have been if he'd never gotten himself a psychic, but this was a distincly masculine thought.

So certainly not Maya. Especially since he hadn't brought her on this crazy trip. A flash, a burning painful sight of an alley...sight, the one sense he never understood, despite having gotten flashes of it before, from other such situations...

And then fire.

Golden red and painfully hot, at least for the little silver vulpine and the human, the flames licked the walls, scorched the trash, and bathed the wall opposite in molten heat. Even Ben gagged somewhat at the stench it created, but it was no worse than a Skuntank in full glory, in a sense, and there was obviously something that needed help down there.

How did he know? Well, he'd just gotten told, basically. Jax needed little urging as they all skidded aorund the corner, to be confronted with the worst extremes of the pokerus in all its glory, and a defiant, but nearly defeated vulpine, one that had better resisted the ravages of the virus, it seemed.

If Ben could have seen, he would have recoiled in instinctive horror at the blood-matted, vicious water-weasel. As it was, the snarlins hiss of is name sent a shiver down the blind man's spine.

I'm glad you could make it. Apparently the fox could communicate telepathically. They were known for psychic abilities...

There was no time, however. Water against fire was never a good combo, and the pokerus only made this more of a deadly game. Two flashes of light released two more pokemon into the alley, as Jax slicked her ears back uneasily at the sight of the male vulpix. She hadn't had good experiences with them...

"Anubis, get him out of there, and shield him, if necessary," Ben all but barked as he slid from the white hound's back, leaving Faith perched safe up there for the moment. "Shinobi...diversion. And cripple him." The two darted off almost in unison, the ebony wolf multiplying as he went, gathering toxins in his body to infect the buizel with.

The lucario blazed into motion, vanishing almost before the others could blink, intending to get past the Buizel and between it and the vulpix before he could finish the fox off, ready to withstand anything the maddened weasel could hurl at him. "Hang in there..." Ben called at the fox, and dig for some of those park balls he had left.

The Buizel himself had tricks up his sleeve; Anubis wasn't the only Pokemon who had a speed-boosting attack. As the Lucario shot forwards in a blur of motion, Buizel himself draped himself in a veil of water at lightspeed, the little weasel barrelling forwards in a spinning motion as he crashed into the Vulpix, jaws open, bloodthirsty. Boy was he hungry; and he couldn't be distracted by the rest of the Pokemon. The Vulpix fell, water crashing onto fire, eyes shut and badly hurt. A Revive might be able to save the fire lupine; unless the Buizel continued to feast.

It was lucky though that Anubis' fist crashed into Buizel's chin, before the carnivore could crunch up the Vulpix's bones. The impact kept the Buizel away from the fainted Vulpix, the Lucario blocking the Buizel from the little red fox. Buizel's eyes though stared blankly at the unconscious Pokemon. No one can stop me. He hissed, "Buizel," and spat on the ground again, feet grinding into the dusty floor, making a stand. Lucario might be fast, but that attack barely made a dent in his health.

Out of nowhere, a splash of poisoned waste fell on the Buizel, who in double-quick time raised his arms to protect his eyes. The toxins blazed through his wet skin, but gritting his teeth, he bore with it, eyes clear... Or not? Now there were two dark wolves that stood on either side of the Lucario. He rubbed them eyes with his clean fins, but it made no difference. With a loud growl, he geared himself for battle. He was going to eat that Vulpix - he fought for his prey. What right did this human have in interfering?

Why was the human interfering? Well, the weasel needed help, and the canine had asked for it. And he liked dogs. Enough reason for him.

Ben cursed softly, as the Buizel slammed into the fox. Perhaps he should have thrown one of the park balls at the vulpine, but it hadn't seemed politic to do so, and he hadn't been certain of his aim, with the distance. Too late now. He moved forward himself, a bit, as Anubis went to shield the fox from further harm with a small snarl.

Fires licked about one of his legs as he braced himself for whatever the water weasel would try. "You're not getting away with that again..." He crouched low, ignoring his own injuries, prepared to survive anything that might be thrown at him, and to kick the weasel if it tried to get too close.

Shinobi stepped forward, paws making nary a sound as he advanced slowly, grinning savagely. "You think you're such a big shot, is that it? Hah..." he snarled softly, smirk playing across his features. "You think you're all that because you managed to put out a little furball's fire? Silly you."This was one thing he lived for...confusion, disruption, dirty tricks...yes...he feinted around the water weasel, and then whirled, paws flying as he added further insult to injury, sending the ashy grit that was on the alley's ground into the buizel's face.

His goal was to distract and infuriate this little mad beastie into focusing on him, so that Anubis could grab the vulpix and retreat with him to Ben, hopefully...even if not, those poisons would wear it down eventually...but it was a dangerous game he was playing...

That was what made it fun, though.

In an effort to help, Ben also readied a park ball as he moved further in. Jax blocked the only way out of the alley, so there was little chance of escape...not that anyone expected the buizel to care.

.3 No problem. But I think I might have to go after this one. And sorry about the ball thing! ><

The wonders of Pokerus... This virus had vastly different effects on many different species. It turned some into bloodthirsty creatures, like this Buizel. It gave others a fervent need to procreate. It could also give a Pokemon powerful focus - or maybe just made them mad. This was what happened to the Buizel. His eyes were covered in a film, tainting everything he saw, everything he heard. The words that the dark dog spoke didn't go through that Pokerus tainted film. All he saw was the Vulpix, body on the floor, lying almost dead. The saliva dripped through his gritted teeth. The black dog shot grit into his eyes; he spat out a water tornado, washing the sand before it could touch his eyes. That same whirling water trapped Shinobi within; the water gushed around the black wolf, creating a wall - another film that prevented contact with the tricky dog.

The flames were nothing to him.

The kick was brutal; but Buizel sidestepped, minimizing the impact, and slid through the side. The Buizel now leapt towards the Vulpix. It was time to feast! The Buizel grinned, even though his body gave a wrack of pain - in his madness, he felt nothing, despite the poison gushing through his veins pounded through his brain, his muscles... He was dying slowly but he didn't care.

He almost bit into the Vulpix's lifeless body; but a ball was tossed, he was sucked in. The Park Ball wobbled vigorously - and then he popped out, as fearless as ever, eyes still on the prize.

.3 (S'all right. I've done things like that before, too.)

The lucario's eyes blazed as the weasel wormed his way around toward the Vulpix once more, despite everything. "You..." He whirled, grabbing the unconscious fox up into his paw-arm, eyes taking on a purple hue, starting to glow.

Shinobi howled his rage at the surrounding waters, paws clawing at the pavement as he attempted to dig his way out of his prison, eyes glinting in fury. "...shall..."

Ben blinked at the cold fury in the lucario's words as Anubis lifted one paw, the other cradling the limp fox in it, crouching low, tail lashing. "...not..."

The stance widened slightly, the blocking paw taking on a faint glow as well, as teeth flashed a warning, Anubis willing to take anything that weasel was intent on trying to do to the poor vulpine and shoving it back down his throat pre-emptively. "...PASS!" he roared, eyes continuing to blaze.

Ben readied another pokeball, as the lucario held his ground, waiting. Once he'd shoved the little brute's attack back down his throat, Anubis intended to use his damn MIND to hurl the psychotic thing back to Ben for capture.

Because I'm too lazy to break out the calc, I'm going to guesstimate. Guesstimating and doing BS first person mods is good enough for me, but don't worry, I will not fail to entertain. Hopefully. Neither of the pokemon on the field sustained further damage and once the vulpix's limp body was jerked around by a rather rambunctious lucario, he woke up, his head hurting and the battle still going. Was he dead?

Looking about he almost began to struggle until he realized he was in safe paws. With a quick glance about, he realized they were still combating the devil himself. Soon, a pokeball was thrown and it rocked with little effort and the badly poisoned weasel was finally gone. Vulpix was awake, and everything seemed to be going well enough.

Finally, the battle came to an end and the vulpix said, Thanks. He was fully willing to go with Ben, but what would they do now? Time was of the essence and the contest, as well as the prosperous number of pokemon, began to come to an end. Any further and it would be hard to keep going on.

.3 (Doumo, and I am back. Note that it sucks to be surrounded by camp/youth group teenagers in a hotel room at a water park place. -.- At least if you want to sleep.)

The pokeball slammed closed around the weasel as Anubis rebounded whatever into his face, finally catching the poor mad beast, hopefully sending him off to get cured of the disease that had caused him to get into such a state.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, even as the vulpix flailed about in Anubis's arms for a moment, then relaxed, too injured to really do anything else, likely, anyhow. "Anyone who asks and has good reason, I'm always willing to help." He smiled faintly. "Even if they don't ask and I know about it...I'm willing to. So, no worries, my friend...I'm just glad you're all right." Ben gently took the fox from the lucario with a soft sigh. "Besides, you both needed help, I think, in your won ways..." He shook his head as he carefully cradled the kitsune. "Now, I'd love to have you on the team, if you're interested. And if I catch you, they'll make sure you're all right after that, patch you up...and make sure you don't get sick like that buizel."

Most of his tone on the weasel was frustration, and a touch of pity. It wasn't the mustilid's fault that he had gotten infected. Ben held a park ball out for the Vulpix to tap, if he so chose. If not, he intended to get out of here anyhow...the deadline was nigh anyhow, and there wasn't much else he could do about the matter at this point.

If the fox refused the ball, he intended to carry him off in his arms to get the help from the officiators that way. He wasn't picky.

Catching the vulpix in one fashion or another, if permitted.

Calling it a game, set and match, if allowed, mounting up on Jax, recalling everyone but Faith (and maybe the fox) and running at full speed back to the checkpoint or whatever to check on things, since this ends in less than 24 hours.
