Continued from here. Previous mod Finally! They were out. Back into the open air. And marshland. More marshland. For a few seconds, Creedon wondered whether they had gotten lost in the tunnels and simply reappeared in another spot of the swamp. However, there ere some distinctive differences. The fog was gone, for one, and the entire area looked a lot friendlier, if such a word could be used to describe a marsh. Creedon examined the nearby area with interest, whilst Kurt pushed him forward. "We should make for Pontarctica as soon as possible, Master Creedon." They had not gotten far, however, when there was a loud screech overhead, and the two of them looked up, to see two rather feral-looking birds diving down at them. "Master Creedon!" Kurt pulled the boy down as the plumper bird narrowly missed them. The boy swore he had felt the brush of feathers against his hair. The second one soon swooped, and it managed to grab a small tuft of hair, ripping it out of the boy's head. With a yowling screech, Creedon covered his head and rubbed the sore spot vigorously. Even without Kurt's direction, he knew what he had to do, and he remembered that certain attacks were super-awesome against birds. "Zapster, Piddles! Discharge and Ice-cream them!" With an eager buzz, the playful arachnid released volumes of electric shock, which surged through the air and with some haphazard aiming, struck the Swellow. A stray bolt also lashed out, striking an unfortunate Buizel who had just pulled itself out of the water after a refreshing swim. However, no-one seemed to notice, Kurt and Creedon's attention was drawn to the Piplup, who had not moved since being summoned. "Piddles, what's wrong?" the boy cried, noticing the penguin's pale skin, and deathly pallor. She looked clammy, a dirty grey tainted her usually white belly and she looked distinctly unwell. What was going on? Even Kurt was stumped. This was not something he had seen before. It did not look like any sort of status affliction he knew, and Piplup had not been exposed to anything since her last battle. Something was not adding up. "Can you attack?" the boy asked hopefully, but the pitiful squeak with which the Piplup replied was enough of an answer. Reacting uncharacteristically astutely, Creedon nodded and pulled another Pokeball from his belt instead. He was about to throw it, but the other bird, Tranquill, had already thrown itself into a dive. There wasn't going to be any way to stop it! "Zapster, no!" He called out as a warning, but there was no way that the spider would get out of the way in time... Creedon's eyes widened in horror as time seemed to slow down. Summoning what must have been the very, very last of her energy, Piddles threw herself forward, in front of the spider, and intercepted the fierce attack, taking the full brunt of the Tranquill's angry pecking, and paying the price for it. The penguin lay on the ground, in a crumpled heap. Kurt frowned. These birds were powerful, possibly more powerful than any other Pokemon they had encountered thus far. Creedon recalled the Piplup, before throwing two Pokeballs out to replace her. He knew that he had to fight bird with bird. The only way to win against these crazy birds was to hit back with other Flying types. Fwap and Babe had soon appeared, but a sinking feeling hit Creedon when he realised that Fwap, too, seemed to have the same sickness that Piddles had just shown. The bird was swaying from side to side, looking quite ill, and though he tried to lift himself off the air, the feeble, disjointed flapping of his wings did not help at all. Throwing a worried look to Kurt, Creedon recalled Fwap and chose the last Pokemon he had at his disposal. Bzzzt was the only one left he could count on. He sure wasn't going to ask for the vampire. Luckily, when the Beldum appeared, it was unaffected by the mysterious disease. The steel Pokemon looked around, worried. It could sense that the Vullaby's curse had been activated recently. Dark energies still lingered in the air. And yet, the bird herself still seemed to be oblivious. The battlefield was set, now. In the air, the Swellow and Tranquill hovered menacingly, although the former looked to be having some trouble staying in the air - residual static charges from the earlier attack seemed to be affecting it. On the ground, Zapster, Bzzzt and Babe were staring back up, each looking a little flustered, though for different reasons. "Zapster, Discharge again!" The bug fired himself up, but before he could release the powerful attack, a slice of air came at him and knocked him out cold. The birds were smart; they were not about to allow the electric type to have his way. Creedon groaned; this was going to be difficult without Zapster and without Piddles. Beldum sprang into action next, launching itself like a rocket at the Swellow, and knocking it out entirely, falling to the ground in a heap of feathers. Tranquill gave an angry screech, plucking out several of its feathers and showering them upon the two Pokemon below. Bzzzt was ready, however, and shifted neatly out of the way. It was the baby-like vulture who was showered in feathers, looking quite comical as she blinked, covered in white fluff. Shivering, the Vullaby managed to remove most of the feathers, also summoning a stealthy tailwind, which Bzzzt felt pushing it along. In fact, the Beldum felt itself being pushed upwards, towards the bird, and rode the current, transforming it into an even stronger Take Down attack. This was followed up by a few sharp gusts of wind, created by Vullaby. Due to her impossibly short wings, however, they were not all that effective. Creedon was getting excited, now. The end was in sight. The stupid bird was about to get creamed. And then it was going to go and die a horrible death for being so bad and also be punished and it was going to land on a rock and rest. Wait, what? The boy couldn't believe what he was seeing. The Tranquill had descended, perching on a rock and making itself comfortable. What the? The bird's calming actions did not deter Creedon's Pokemon, however, and they attacked again. The bird looked unperturbed, however, and continued to sit there. Suddenly, it opened its wings and launched a series of sharp air sickles at the two Pokemon, damaging each, one significantly more than the other. Bzzzt and Babe looked at each other. This was an incredibly difficult opponent, but they knew that it was almost over. The wind that had been summoned earlier was dying down, but they could still fight. With a final effort, another boosted Take Down, boosted by both the tailwind and the small gusts of wind from Vullaby, Bzzzt shot like a torpedo at the Tranquill, knocking it off its perch in a flurry of feathers, so that it finally joined its friend on the ground, defeated. "Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeew..." Creedon sighed a huge sigh of relief. Talk about a nail-biter! He had been worried almost all battle; after all, those birds were so much bigger and scarier-looking. "You guys were amazing!" he beamed, giving each a big hug, completely missing Bzzzt's reluctance to be in close physical proximity to the Cursed One. He looekd surprised when the Pokemon pulled away from his hugs, scratching the back of his head. "You don't like hugs?" Who didn't like hugs? It was such a universally likeable thing. Recalling all his Pokemon, the boy thought no more of the Beldum's odd behaviour, and dragged Kurt along in the direction of the next city, completely oblivious to the earlier casualty from Zapster's attack. He just wasn't an observant person. --- In: Puddlelands 1 Heading for: Ice Cliffs 2 (which is pretty small), then Pontarctica Both Swellow and Tranquill were treated as Lv 20-22, fair bit higher than most of Creedon's Pokemon. Buizel was injured accidentally, but not noticed, so they've pretty much ignored it. Team Status ![]() Piddles - Fainted (Cursed) ![]() Fwap - (Cursed) ![]() Caius - (Cursed, but hasn't been discovered yet) ![]() Bzzzt - 42/63 ![]() Babe - 10/30 ![]() Zapster - Fainted |

(0.3 )The road that Creedon was following suddenly took a turn away from the northerly direction. Kurt looked rather surprised, but Creedon was determined, and not giving his manservant any room to question. Paths led Somewhere. And right now, Somewhere was where they had to be. Only Somewhere had Pokemon Centres to heal oddly sick Pokemon like Piddles. The path continued to meander through the marshes, and then the climate change began. Kurt rarely allowed his feelings to reign, but he could have sworn that the temperature was quickly dropping, literally with every step that he took. The air was getting colder, snappier, and more unpleasant. Snow was also starting to litter the ground. Clearly they were entering into the Glacier Valley - a sure sign that Pontarctica was close. However, Creedon didn't seem to think it was close enough. Soon enough, a high-pitched whine had permeated the biting cold. "Kuuuuuurt... why is it so cold? Make it less cold. Turn the air-conditioning off." Clearly Creedon did not venture outside of carefully climate-controlled interior settings often. "I don't like this cold." Kurt could do nothing but produce a large, puffy jacket which he helped the boy to don. Creedon was quite torn. The jacket was warm, but it made him look like a marshmallow, and whilst marshmallows were very cool, he didn't like to look like one, merely eat them. "Did you know, that people die when they put these jackets on?" he offered, hopefully. Kurt ignored him, and eventually, succeeded in getting the boy to put it on. "Now it's too hot," the boy complained, almost reflexively. Kurt paid him no heed. He was used to Master Creedon's asinine desire to go against the norm - Kurt knew that the boy actually wanted to keep it on. Once one spent enough time around the boy, they learnt to pick apart the contradicting nonsense that he spouted, and draw together the very scattered threads of thought that filled his head. "Pumpkins are very orange..." Very scattered. As they walked, they journeyed well into the Cold Marshes, where the wind picked up even more. But even with the feeling of snow against their faces, Kurt and Creedon persevered, the latter because he had been promised hot chocolate upon arrival in Pontarctica. The village was in sight now, and they were so close. Just a hundred or so more metres and then- Out of nowhere, a ball-like thing barrelled into Creedon, knocking the boy into the snow with a terrific thump. The boy looked shocked, blinking as he sat in the snow. What had just happened? The culprit, an over excited Spheal who had been rolling around at ridiculous speeds, clapped its stumpy flippers and then rolled off again, squealing in glee. Creedon was left watching the disappearing Pokemon, mouth wide open. "What a weirdo," he judged, conveniently forgetting the time last summer when he'd gotten into his head the idea that he would make an awesome tumbler, and had spent several days doing nothing but tumbling around the house, and around the gardens outside. He'd become incredibly proficient, in fact, and could tumble around faster than any of his friends. "Let's not worry about silly Pokemon like that Kurt. Onward!" He declared, as he envisioned the hot chocolate that was awaiting him. "I'm coming Choccly!" He wasn't going to delay his joyful union with a deliciously hot sweetened beverage for some puffball of walrus blubber! Not he! --- counter: 0.5Ignored the Spheal. Entered Pontarctica? (Confirmation please) |

"How many assholes we got on this ship anyhow?"

.5 and 5 You enter Town. When you get to the pokecenter, you will discover that the mysterious illness is actually a strain of pokerus. Any pokemon infected with this, I'm going to call it PokeRus strain B, will earn 2X the EV's they normally would during battle. They will also earn TWICE the EXP they normally would in battle. This is for pokemon battles only. No other variety of EXP or EV giving items work with it. This virus is short lived. It only infects the pokemon for 4 posts. If you keep a pokemon in your PC with the virus active, you can infect others with it once its withdrawn. Being withdrawn to infect others though, will count for one 'infected' post. Once infected, a Pokemon can never again catch Strain B of PokeRus. You might want to note PokeRus-B beside them in their profile. PokeRus-B can be transmitted to other players pokemon, if you interact with them during the infected period. Infected pokemon will be difficult to control until the Virus runs its course. You are also free to sit around in the pokecenter for one post and act like your party is completely 100% cured of this stuff if you don't want to deal with it.
