So remember how we said no more training in swamp like areas? Yea, well...

Liz and co found themselves in a less familiar area once again. The girl had decided to try for some training out here in Murmur Valley as mostly she didn't really know what was out here. Ah well that's what trainers do right? Visit strange new places to see what kinds of pokemon live there, battle them and capture them? So yea.

Today Liz was focusing on some of her more powerful team members who just needed a little extra push in hopes they would soon evolve. Per usual, Tansy and Shyam were along, they had sort of become her two permanent team members. Then there was Ryu who was lazily flying over head keeping an eye on things. The dragon was one of her favorite flying mounts now. And Raya who'd been spending a lot of time with Liz as well. The riolu was perched atop Tansy's head, sitting in quiet meditation.

Two of her less familiar companions had joined her today. Avni the cubon whom she'd found in the Airidair Desert some time back. He was a bit apprehensive about this place and didn't at all like walking on the soggy ground so Tansy had agreed to carry him as well. The venusaur was quite patient as a mount and never minded giving other's a ride. Perched on Liz's shoulder was the tiny natu she'd adopted. The psychic bird's beak was tucked under his wing as he quietly napped.

Shyam didn't care much for this open area, there were no trees for him to hide in. So he'd adopted an illusion of a lucario and stalked along beside Tansy with his arms crossed over his chest. Liz lead the way this time and scanned the area ahead of them. She figured they'd see what was around here then perhaps move over into the sanded grasslands for a bit of diversity. She was mostly focused on trying to find poison types that would be good training fodder for Avni and Ikshan. And then perhaps some normal types suitable for training with Raya. But whatever they found, it should at least prove interesting.

And once they were all finished here, perhaps they'd swing by Escennia. Liz had never gotten a heating blanket and her absol egg still had a long way to go before hatching. Plus she'd been pursing one of the legendary poems lately and there was something about a northern tower she wanted to check out.

Looking for things to ruin the day of, you say? Well, that shouldn't be too hard. Other than the fog making it hard to see more than a couple feet in front of you. This could be problematic for finding anything in this squelchy mess people were traveling through. Hopefully no one lost a boot to the much. At least it was mostly dirt.

"Grimer!" The mucky ground just below where Liz had just stepped abruptly took offense to being stepped on, oozing up and away from her boot with an outraged cry. More of the muck burbled in disgruntlement as well. Oh dear. It seems that she'd found herself a few poison types, anyhow.

And...the less said about what they'd been up to when she stepped on them, the better. One really doesn't want to contemplate certain things circle of life behaviors.

The fog grew thicker the farther the walked though it still wasn't as bad here as the farther south you went. Liz tried to keep closer to the border between the marshlands and the sanded grasslands in hopes to avoid too much fog and mush. However the ground was still quite mucky and you couldn't really tell what you were stepping in.

"Ugh, what on earth?" She muttered as her sneakered shoe ended up in some purple goo. That was when she fully realized what she'd just trodded on. Four eyes glard angrily up at her from the muck not at all please about her arrival. They seemed to be quite... involved with each other making Liz seriously regret her choice to hit up the valley. But, this was just what she needed, a nice pair of poison types.

"Okay that's just... wrong. Avni, Ikshan... Ikshan?" She prodded the bird on her shoulder until the psychic finally blinked his eyes and then stretched his wings and yawned.

"Whaaat do you want... Oh, the grimer, just as I predicted." The bird chirped then began cleaning himself. Avni had slid off Tansy's back and wandered up to Liz's side. The cubone glanced hesitantly at the pair of grimer and made a face, well what you could see of his face anyway. Liz raised a brow at the natu then prodded him again.

"And when exactly did you predict that hmm?" She said with skepticism. Ikshan harumphed then beat his wings against the air and left her shoulder. The bird settled on Avni's head and peered at the pair of poison types.

"Anyway, you two ready? Avin, use your Bonemerang and if that doesn't finish it, follow with a Bone Club. Ikshan, Psychic, twice if need be." Liz instructed the pair and stepped back as they went into battle mode.

Forewarning. I do NOT have a calc at this point in time, so this is all coming completely without such a thing.

Ishkan handily melted the brain of one of the grimers, as Avni hurled his club at the second, and it squawked indignantly as it was whacked. The club missed on the return to Avni's hand, though, and the noxious slime hurled a viscous purple globe right into her face, the corrosive material eating away at her bone mask as it connected.

On the upside, an infuriated swing of the club straight down spattered the goo in every direction, covering both the cubone and the surrounding area in grimer bits.

Ew.

But hey. Each pokemon got 1 :exp for their troubles, though Avni took 50 damage in the process.

On the other hand...nature takes its course, and a bright purple egg is revealed behind the one that Ishkan KO'd. Hmm. Leave it there for an opportunist to eat, or what? It wasn't likely those grimers would be putting themselves together in a hurry (and possibly at all in the case of the one Avni splattered), so it was pretty much defenseless.

On the upside, there's only one egg there.




Yay XP! Yay winning battle! Yay...egg?

EDIT: Oh, and I rolled it but forgot to post...4 berries from tree.

As expected the psychic and ground types obliterated the poison types, yay. What was not expected was the odd purple egg lying there amongst the muck. Guess the grimer had been very busy. Liz blinked her gray eyes at the strange little egg then knelt down, carefully avoiding what was left of the grimer, to inspect it closer. Her group moved closer as well as all eyes now on the egg, even Shyam's who wouldn't mind a nice egg snack. Then again the thing was probably poisoned.

"Um, well, looks like the grimer were going to be parents..." Now she felt a little bad about having beaten them so soundly. Gingerly she picked up the egg and looked it over. As far as she could tell it was healthy. "Hmm, I had never considered taking in a grimer, but we can't really just leave it here can we?" She glanced at Tansy who nodded in agreement. Well looks like they were going to add a new member to their family soon enough. Liz slid off the satchel which contained her Absol egg. The black and white egg was twitching some but still had a bit of time left before it hatched. Gingerly she slipped the purple egg alongside the other and secured the satchel back to her pack.

"Okay then, guess we'll press on and see if we can find anything else to battle out here." She smiled at the group then turned to continue westward. Avni returned to Tansy's back and noticed the ripe yellow berries. The cubone plucked two off and glanced around before eating both of them. He sighed happily then waved the other two at Liz who took them and added them to her berry pouch. And so they continued onward keeping an eye out for more experience fodder battling partners.

Moseying on through...the soggy dirt MUD. A few shrubs, a few wispy little trees, not many rocks. This place couldn't be much fun. Not that it mattered what you thought about it (or me). The inhabitants found it delightful. Look over yonder! There's a skorupi torturing some poor helpless burmey. Help the bully or help the victim?

The mud was growing worse with each step as they progressed through the valley. Liz was just thinking of turning northward and heading for the grasslands when she noticed the conflict ahead. The scorpion and worm were both quite unfamiliar to the girl who raised her pokedex first to scan them curiously.

"Burmy the bagworm pokemon. Even if it is born where there are no cocooning materials, it somehow always ends up with a cloak."

"Skorupi the scorpion pokemon. As soon as the tail claws close, its needle tips secrete poison. It lives in arid regions and can go without food for a year while waiting for prey."

"Huh, Skorupi and Burmy, interesting. Looks like Skorupi's intending on making Burmy its dinner." She mused for a moment then nodded to herself. "Alright, let's cancel supper but I think we'll take the pair along with us ok?" She stated while looking toward Avni and Ikshan. The bird and ground type glanced at one another and shrugged. Avni once again slid from Tansy's back and hurried forward while Ikshan perched on the cubone's skull.

"Not too hard, we want don't want to do too much damage." Liz instructed as she considered her options. "Alright, Avni go for another bonermerang and bone club on the skorupi. Natu, go ahead and hit the burmy with a psychic and Tans?" Liz turned to her starter who cocked her head to one side. "Hit them both with a sleep powder when these two are done ok?" The venusaur nodded and stood at the ready. Liz pulled two great balls from her pack and chucked them once everything was said and done.

So the FT is getting full and I'm getting annoyed by it. Don't expect me to get exciting here, I'm just trying to clear stuff out in order (except for me, since I can't mod myself, even if I was first in line).

There's a lot of attacks flying every which way, bone clubs, toxic traps, even psychic blasts, but it's only so useful in this case. We'll go one at a time on the fights to deal with them more easily.

The cubone hurls his club with good accuracy, nailing the little scorpion right in the head and bowling him over, as it whirls off into the fog on a parabolic arc. Moments later, it returns and knocks the bug back upright as it wallops him from the opposite direction.

Needless to say, this ticks him off a little and he spits a veritable minefield of toxic spines in every direction. Oh dear. Then he's clubbed again, and knocked more than half silly. He bites at Avni, though since he's close now, with his poisonous fangs.

On the other hand...the other bug looks momentarily relieved as her attacker is assaulted, but then shrieks as something invades her mind and brutally rips it apart. Oh dear. She doesn't even know where the attack came from and just tries to bury herself in mud, hiding from it all as her leaves are sent scattering every which way.

And then come the balls, nailing each bug. The Skorupi's wiggles a few times, but settles down easily enough, pinging after a moment. The burmy puts up more of a fight, but in the end, her ball also pings. Whee.

On the other hand, those spikes didn't just magically go away, so now Liz and her companions are facing a minefield of sharp pointy toxins buried under the muck.

~ Toxic Spikes, Poison Fang

:cubone :ml Lv. 50
120/135 :hp
Toxic'd

:natu :ml Lv. 50

Cubone gets .9 :exp for for his efforts, Natu gets .8 :exp for his. Also, take 4 LP, 2 for beating up a bully, and 2 more for helping the bully beat up his victim while you were at it.

Oh, and now there's a minor obstacle in that there's a minefield of poisoned spikes hiding in all the muck, that nobody knows exactly where any of them are.

Things played out a bit rough but the outcome was as desired. Liz nodded to herself satisfied and turned to her team. "Great job you two, now let's..." She stopped as she noticed a familiar glow encompass both Ikshana and Avni. Moments later standing before her was Avni the marowak and Ikshana the xatu. The bird quickly hopped off Avni's head as he she ('cause Jance now just realized all this time Ikshan is supposed to be a GIRL not a BOY and gave her a boy name and has been calling her a he >.<) was now taller than him. Ikshana stretched her wings and smirked to herself.

'Ahhh I saw this coming you know, it is just as I predicted.' The psychic looked quite pleased with herself then glanced to Liz. The trainer raised a brow then extended her hand toward the xatu. "I guess you saw this coming as well?" Liz inquired as she showed her the wing tattoo on her palm. Ikshana turned up her beak and nodded. 'Of course.' The bird then touched Liz's hand with her beak and a momentary glow later had absorbed the knowledge of the holy mechanism.

Avni crossed his arms over his chest and rolled his eyes. He turned to head back toward Tansy when something stuck in his foot. The marowak gave a yelp and stumbled backward. Tansy managed to catch him with a vine and steady the ground type. However, a purple hue covered his skin and he looked quite sickly. Liz moved to hurry over but Tansy stopped her with another vine.

"Ack! Don't move! The ground's covered with spikes." Tansy stated gesturing toward the ground and catching Liz's gaze. The girl looked down and around noting the many spikes surrounding them. She only then remembered the skoropi's attack. She groaned. "Great, um," She looked skyward and let out a shrill whistle. A responding roar came from nearby and soon Ryu rush through the air toward them. "Ryu! Don't land, you'll be poisoned." She called to the dragon who nodded and hovered over them. Ikshana jumped into the air and joined the dragon, neither of the flying types having much to worry about from the spikes.

"Raya, why don't you get up on Ryu. Shyam you'll need to ride on Tansy." Liz instructed. The riolu nodded and leapt up onto Ryu with ease. Shyam grumbled and slipped onto the plant's back. Tansy entwined a vine around Liz's waist and lifted her into the air and placed her alongside Shyam. The venusaur also brought Avni to Liz and to let the girl handle curing his poison. Liz noticed their berry trees had bloomed and plucked one of the fresh lums from the tree.

"Here Avni eat this it should remove the poison." The ground type weakly munched the berry and soon his color returned to normal. It was a bit crowded on Tansy's back so Liz recalled Avni. "I'll join Raya on Ryu. And think we've had enough of this valley, let's head northward into the sanded grasslands ok?" Liz stated as Tansy lifted her up to sit behind Raya on Ryu. The salamence roared and immediately took off to the north nearly leaving the other's behind. "Ryu! Slow down silly." Liz chuckled as the dragon slowed his pace allowing Tansy, Shyam and Ikshana to catch up.

Once everyone was together they continued on heading in a very northernly direction. It shouldn't take too long to cross into the grasslands as they'd been hugging the border anyway.
Avni leveled to 51 and evolved into Marowak
Ikshana mysteriously turned into a girl leveled to 51 and evolved to Xatu

That probably explains why I kept wanting to use 'her' and 'she' when referencing the natu (now xatu). My subconscious knows better than the Jance what is correct, apparently.

Anywho, a simple solution to the spikes of doom everywhere...be immune or be airborne. Nice and simple. And so it goes that they moved on out of the muck and grime and goopy terrain, the fog thinning around them, and the ground solidifying further, before at long last, they broke out into the clear sunshine. The last of the fog fell away from the light like a cloak being unfurled, to the delightful strains of a victory fanfare.

Seriously.

Whether people decide to figure out where the heck that's coming from is up to them, but who knows...they've gotten out of the mucky swamp, anyways.

And right. RNG dictates that you get 2 and 4 from your trees respectively.
