((Woah, major double-postage there... I mean, I understand about the picture, but the same post is there twice! The only way that could happen is... *fixes computer*))

"Wait... something new for the bird later? As in, my bird, as in, Pidgeot?! Cool."

"Right. well, I guess we better start looking..."

"Yeah, this place is creepy."

((

Nice idea! I'll join too if that's alright.))

"Alright... pokemon missing 'eh?" Two pairs of eyes watched from a window, that had been left open slighty. Most likely to let in fresh air.

"Well, that's what it looks like. Should we?"
"Well, of course we are!"
The low whispering continued for a few moments. The two 'people' where a pair boy and girl twins. Both looking around 12. A 'lil on the short side, but the wore drob of these two was more important.

Both twins' were dressed in an black Team Rocket uniform ((*gasp*)) Their names? Well, the boy was Mike and the girl, Sara.

"Now, we better change to normal clothes quick." Mike mumbled slowly walking away from the widnow. Sara followed as well, both be carefull the trainers didn't hear them.

"...Hey, does anyone else have the feeling we're being watched?"

"No, but I have a feeling I just stepped in something."

"Looks like someone's gotta learn to clean up after their Growlithe."

"Thanks for sharing..."

"So..." *Josiah was examing the omni-boards.* "What are these things for? I mean, they may make for decent transportation the doctor knows we're all experienced trainers and every half decent trainer has pok?mon that can use fly and surf."

"Eh, guess we'll find out eventually."

"Well, let's get moving. We're not gonna catch that thing just standing around."

((Ah yes, hey Gebura, are we allowed to have any legendary pok?mon in our party? For reference, my party is the same as I have in the games: Venasuar, Starmie, Jolteon, Sandslash, Blaziken, and Mew (Mew knows Fly). Or, if I can't use Mew, I'll take Salamenace instead.))

((I think you will find the TM is for my Combustiken, 'fire punch' and all))

Shauni took the TM from Silver as he whiped the poo of his shoe

"I'll have that"
"HAY! Thats mine!"
Shauni looked at him with her usual blank stair "Fire Punch for a pidgoet? whats it gunna punch with? its beack!"
"hay, you dont have to be so mean about it"
Shauni ignored his comment and jumped on her omniboard
"Lets try these things out"

Josiah looked a little reluctant
"Are these things even safe?"
"You know, I still feel like where beging watched yaknow...."
"Shut up and lets get moving"

((Uh... I never said fire punch was for Pidgeot... Silver was kinda complaining that he didn't get anything... and Silver doesn't have the feeling they're being watched, as evident when he said 'no'))

((As for you ther pointed, I changed my post to match it, sorry))

Shauni whiped out her pokegear
""Accoring to this reading Sand...flash is north of here, about 6 miles"
Better get walking"
"Walk? No way, go beauty!"
The ponyta appered from its ball in brillient light
"Hay, why not just use these boards?"
"I dont have a death wish, thats why"

(-OOC Hmm, yes, you may have your legendaries, just as long as there are only one present...as in, everyone can't have the same legendary in their party. Not to mention that makes me feel a bit better about throwing overpowered genetic monstrosities at your chars /OOC-)

Had the guard even cared or been paying attention he could have answered the trainer's questions or at least settled their squabble. Of course they also could have just called the contact number they had and asked or even asked the pokegear if it had any info on the new equipment.

But they didn't so it didn't matter anyway. What did matter was that a certain pair of twins had rather interesting new companion that had overheard some of their speach, but more importantly noted their attire.

"Hmm? Gengar? Geeheeeng!"

Glee at the chance for some mischeif the thing vanished into the pair's joined shadow, intent on following them until a chance came through to give em a propper scare.

After about half an hour of travil on assorted pokemon the group came to the area mentioned on the pokegear
"Well....this is the spot"
Everyone looked around, it was nothing more than a dryed out filed
"Theres nothing here....."
Shauni began to strach her head "Maybe that profecer is a bit...you know, senial"
"Wel...theres nothing here eitherway..."
Shauni began to look around "hay, wasnt that creature called a sand...flash, kinda sounds like sandslash to me, maybe its underground"
All three of them then proceded to look at there feet
The ground suddenly began to rubble softly, then more intence
"i hate it when I'm right....."

*The group jumped back as a large sandslash like creature exploded out of the ground, its tail sparking wildly.*

"Looks like we found it."

"Duh."

"Great, this will save us the trouble of searching. Hmm... Looks like a ground/electric mix. Nice combo but I have a good pok?mon to use against it. Go Venasaur!"

"Should we all attack together or just go one on one like usual?"

"I don't know... We have no idea how strong this thing is."

Post by **shauni** » Thu Dec 16, 2004 12:16 pm

The creature landed not so far from them, tured around and hisses, its tail vilently porducing sparks of thunder
"Great...all my poekmon suck against this thing...."

She retured Beuty and sent out tyraniar Deno

"Thats all you have effective against this thing?"
"i have two fire types and a water before you start, how was I supposed to know we would be facing a freak type, lighting and ground?? give me a break!"

"Guys! Enough! its heaing right for us!!!"

Both shauni and silver looked, indeed, sandflash was charging right for them, its tail producing a huge storm while its claws were out ready to strike

"awww crap...."

While the tail put on a pretty show, it was far from the most dangerous part of this of this creature. At the last moment before it was upon them it rolled into a ball. In that way it went from a sparking monster to a bladed menace that was apparently able to do rollout.

<Flash!>

It was apparently not happy to see humans, nor their pet pokemon and if deno wasn't careful he'd be the first in line for that rollout.

-note, other than intimidate, sandslash has static screen, so physical attacks against it will autoparalyze. Attack-wise it has all attacks for the ground and electric types as well as a few that suit it's body alone like rollout, dig, earthquake, agility, extreme speed. While it is fast, it can only maintain high speed when not performing electrical attacks as it grounds itself with it's claws beforehand, using tail and spines to perform anything from thunderwave to the dreaded zap canon. Be warned, this pokemon is exceedingly dangerous as it's claws can pierce the hide of an onix and it's tough enough to shrug off a trapinch's bite. [sidenote] Sandslash is an aggressive herbivore, when faced with grass pokemon it will attempt to paralyze and eat them...all others are treated as enemies to be ejected from it's territory.-

All of this abruptly became available as the uplink attachments to the pokegear accessed lumiere labs' computers on the visible target.

~Ping....battle update initiated!~

"Deno! Get the hell out of them!"

The fat pokemon quickly moved out of the way...just,

"NEVER MIND DENO! WE GOTTA RUN!!!"

All the trainers dived out of the way as sandflsh rolled past them and performed a dig, coming back underground

"DENO! START PUNCHING THE GROUND! DRIVE IT UP AGAIN!"

Deno began to punch the ground with mega punch after mega punch, the virbrations reaching even sandflash, forcing it back to the surface

"NOW WHAT!"

"ATTACK IT!!"
