[Searching for Sableye]

Kicking the rocks along the cave Beltran had found himself in. "How the hell did we end up in here Hamburger..." He muttered towards the Pokeball hanging from his neck that held his overenthusiastic Munchlax in it. Popping the ball from his necklace and allowing the red and white ball to expand in his hand before casually tossing it to the floor "Come on out Hamburger." He said in a soft voice as a flash of white light shot out of the ball as it opened and Hamburger was removed from his confines. "MUNCH!"[/i] He shouted as he popped out looking feverishly for food.

"Hamburger... there's no foo... GET THAT OUT OF YOUR MOUTH!" Beltran shouted as he yanked a rock out of Hamburger's mouth and threw it at a wall. "we've been over this before... Rocks... are... not... food." He shouted as he removed an apple from his backpack and threw it towards his never-ending pit of a Pokemon, who caught it in midair and eagerly munched on the sweet fruit as he looked sated, at least for the moment. "Munch... Munchlax!"[/i] Hamburger would shout as he pointed into the darkness. "What's that Hamburger? Something I should check out?" Beltran stated as he began to slowly step towards the darkness. Something he had learned living nearby, that Pokemon seemed to appear and disappear within Patuxent cave... his father said he even caught a few Ghost Pokemon here! That's exactly what Beltran wanted! A Ghost type to balance Hamburger's weaknesses.

[Hotaru]

A flock of Zubat cries out as they fly over your head. They seem unhappy that you've disturbed their slumber. Though the caves are dark, the first level of the subterranean path doesnt seem bleak enough to support the life of ghost types. /If/ any were to dwell here, they would seek refuge in the pitch darkness of the lower levels. However, pokemon off the beaten path are much stronger than the ones on your run of the mill path, and the caves are quite dangerous. You have a decision to make. Risk encountering strong pokemon in a hazardous environment, or continue through the first level to the other side.

[Searching for Hippopotas]

As the Zubat flew from the cave, Beltran's hands frantically batted them away from his immediate area. Quickly realizing he could battle one, he turned on the heel of his foot and looked behind him... they were already gone. "So... Hamburger. Was that what you were telling me? That there's Zubat in there?" "Munch, Munch."[/i] He nodded knowingly as his eyes shut slightly. Beltran sighed as he contemplated kicking Hamburger across the entire cave or recalling him back into his Pokeball.

Realizing that it was, most likely just way too bright for Ghosts to be living on the first floor of the cave, Beltran simply began checking around the area where he was. "Hamburger... use Odor Sleuth. See if there's any other pokemon nearby." Hamburger began sniffing around the area around them, searching for anything. Suddenly, he picked up another rock and attempted to eat it. Beltran promptly ripped it from his Munchlax's hands and scolded it once more for trying to eat inedible objects once again.

[Hotaru]

Though your Munchlax's odor sleuth was a success, it appeared that there were no Hippopotas in the area. Perhaps instead of searching for specific species, you should focus on building a better idea of what pokemon are located in which areas.

[Beltran]

[Random Pokemon Encounters]

Finding that Hamburger's Odor Sleuth was unsuccessful in looking for a certain Pokemon, Beltran returned his Munchlax back to his Pokeball and headed ahead, looking for the exit to the area. Reattaching the Pokeball to his necklace, Beltran hefted his backpack further up his upper back and effectively began walking, whatever he may come across was up to fate now as his boots hit the smooth cave floor below him. His eyes were on sharp alert for anything he may be able to use, whether it be a Pokemon, an item or a cute girl.

[ Pokemon Found: Sandshrew - Level 6 ]

Simply sitting in the middle of the path, not doing anything in particular.

[Beltran]

"What the hell is that thing?!" Beltran would scream as he fell backwards, scootching up backwards on his ass, using his heels to propel him into a cave's wall. Quickly, he would pop off Hamburger's Pokeball from his necklace and expand it with one hand and remove his Pokedex with the other. Pointing the piece of technology towards the small tan-colored shrew before him, it would light up "Sandshrew, the Mouse Pokémon. Sandshrew hates moisture and lives in holes it digs in dry places. It protects itself by curling into a ball." The Pokedex went blank once more as Beltran thought it sounded a lot like a Ground type Pokemon. "Hamburger, Lets do this!" He shouted as the food grubber Pokemon would pop out of it's home with a resounding "MUNCH!"[/i]

"Hamburger, get ready! It's a Sandshrew! Be careful of it's attacks!" Beltran would say to the constantly hungry Pokemon as the Munchlax took on a Defensive pose. "Hamburger! Use Metronome!" Hamburger quickly lifted two claws, one on each hand into the air and began waggling them back and forth, like a metronome on a piano. White light began to envelope the claws as Beltran's Munchlax stopped suddenly and his eyes turned white. Opening up it's gaping maw, a beam of shining green light shot out straight for the Sandshrew. The Sandshrew, not knowing what to do, rolled up into a ball, using Defense Curl. Beltran recognized the technique Hamburger used as Mirror Shot, seeing it on television before. The Sandshrew began rolling backwards as Munchlax ran after it futilely, unable to catch the fast moving Sandshrew, that was now somewhat injured.

"Get it into a corner Hamburger! It's definitely hurt now!" Beltran shouted as Hamburger came up to it and Beltran began running to get in close as he removed an empty Pokeball from his Flak Jacket. "Hamburger, Use Zen Headbutt!" He shouted as Hamburger ran at the stationary ball as it continued to stay in Defense Curl mode. Quickly, a shine began to form around Hamburger's head as he ran it straight into the balled up Sandshrew before them, causing it to hit the wall and uncurl immediately, staggering. This was Beltran's chance he had been waiting for, Zen Headbutt was a strong move that nearly knocked out the Sandshrew before him as he threw the expanded Pokeball at the Sandshrew. "Pokeball, Go!" He would yell as it left his hand and hit the Sandshrew.

Wee-woo Wee-woo Wee-woo.

DING.

[ Status: Captured ]

[Beltran]

Hamburger rubbed his head as he gave a thumbs up and jumped excitedly and exclaimed it's namesake several times. Beltran walked over to the Pokeball that now contained the Sandshrew he had caught. "Good work Hamburger. Here, you deserve it." He said as he pulled a Sweet Poffin from his backpack and handed it to Munchlax, who eagerly devoured it. A heavenly look appeared on Hamburger's face as he chewed the sweet cake with a passion. Looking at the ball that contained the first Pokemon he caught, he was filled with passion as he tried to contain it all as he clipped it to his belt, he would bond with the Sandshrew he decided not to nickname.

"Onward my awesome Munchlax! Lets see what that nose of yours finds this time!" Beltran shouted as Hamburger used his Odor Sleuth once again to search for wild Pokemon within the area. Hiding or not, they could not hide from his Munchlax's well-trained nose.

[Searching Randomly Once Again]

[-Loki-]

As you continue your search, a wild Nosepass begins to come at you in anger.


Nosepass
Level: 6

[Beltran]

Flinching backwards, Beltran pulled out his Pokedex at the very strange Pokemon as Hamburger looked to Beltran for instructions. "Nosepass, the Compass Pokémon. Nosepass has a nose that functions as an electromagnet and determines location by moving its nose about." The Pokedex died down as The Nosepass began running towards Beltran's lone Pokemon. "Hamburger, watch out! It's preparing a Tackle attack! Dodge and use Tackle!" Beltran shouted as the Munchlax moved more quickly than Beltran had ever seen in his life and came up behind the rock type pokemon, rushing it's body into the Nosepass, causing small amounts of rock to chip off that the Nosepass's back, as it wasn't fast enough to turn around in time. The Rock type shrugged off the damage as Beltran bit his thumb in anticipation, returning his Pokedex to his jacket's pocket and removing a Pokeball from it.

"Munchlax, Quick! Use Metronome!" Beltran shouted as Munchlax stopped in it's tracks, only inches behind Nosepass, as it bounce off slightly from the attempted Tackle and began waggling it's fingers to and fro. Suddenly, Munchlax stopped and extended it's arms, the Nosepass was surrounded by a shining light suddenly as Munchlax moved both of it's arms to the left, allowing the Nosepass to fly into the cave's wall, propelling it with psychic energy from Metronome's effect. After slamming the rock type into the craggy wall of the cave, Munchlax continued and began spinning Nosepass like a top, extremely fast in an attempt to make it dizzy. Finally, he slammed the Nosepass against two other walls in the immediate area thrice more, Beltran looking nervous, waiting with Munchlax's Pokeball in one hand and an empty Pokeball in the other, hoping that the cave wouldn't collapse or anything such as that.

The living compass was obviously damaged rather badly from the attack from Hamburger. It was motionless on the ground on it's back as Beltran reached back with the look of pitching a baseball and let loose the empty Pokeball towards the Pokemon his little Hamburger had slammed into the walls with the Psychic attack. "Pokeball, GO!" The Pokeball hit the Rock type with a thud and let out a stream of red energy. It wiggled as Beltran held his breath for the best.

[-Loki-]

The ball would wiggle and wiggle til eventually it would stop. The Nosepass was fast asleep as the pokeball wiggled to the point of Captured!

-Captured a Nosepass-

[Beltran]

Walking towards the Pokeball that had just finished wiggling and had just clicked, Beltran picked it up and attached the small ball to his belt. He now had three Pokemon, two of which caught in the cave. "I think this is enough for now, how about we get out of this cave Hamburger?" Beltran said, looking down to his companion, handing him another sweet poffin that he chewed as he gave a muffled "Munch"[/i] as he finished off the treat as Beltran returned him to his Pokeball and clicked it back to place on his necklace. With that he attempted to venture out of the cave through the nearby exit, but Just as he began to exit, a Wild Pokemon entered the scene.

[Random Enounter Plox]

[Hotaru]

It seems that you havent seen the last of this species. Watching it's friend get captured prompted another Nosepass to attack! Its level is 8.

[Beltran]

"Tch... I really didn't want to fight any other Pokemon in here..." Beltran said as he clenched his teeth. The Pokemon he had caught already were obviously too weak to fight until they were healed. Without thought, he removed the ball from his necklace again. Without hesitation again, he expanded the Pokeball and threw it out yelling. "I choose you, Hamburger!" Munchlax came out in an explosion of red energy, obviously being a bit tired from all the work it wasn't used to. "Hamburger, lets get this done quick, Use..." Quickly, as if the Nosepass knew what was coming, it's body stiffened and shined a bit, it had used harden.

"Munchlax, use Metronome!" He would yell, going to a technique that was unreliable was one of his biggest flaws, he just liked to see what his Munchlax would do. "Munchlax."[/i] Hamburger would repeat every time his fingers moved in tandum until finally, they stopped and Hamburger stood for a moment, Beltran awaited the attack that would happen. Hamburger's head began to move backwards slowly as it opened it's maw wide. About two meters away from the Nosepass, It shot a beam of green energy from it's mouth, scolding hot. It was not a Fire attack, but it was known to be used by Dragon type pokemon often. It was Dragonbreath, Munchlax maintained the beam for the fill inverval, Nosepass attempted to move, but it's Harden technique proove foolhardy, as it was barely able to move after using the defense adding technique.

From the heavy stomps of the Nosepass, Beltran could tell it was afflicted with paralysis, it could barely move but it began rushing Beltran. Nose! Pass! Pass Pass Pass Nose! If one could understand Pokemon, they would have heard the Nosepass crying for it's friend to be returned to it. Beltran, however had no idea what was going on. "Munchlax! help! Zen Headbutt!"He would shout as the Nosepass was still coming towards Beltran in a desperate attempt to get it's friend back as Munchlax's head began to form a psychic shield around it. The Nosepass was still heavily stomping towards Beltran, it's rocky body being slower and slower due to it's status affliction as Hamburger's body came flying through the air like a missile at Nosepass, drilling it in place for a moment before knocking it into a wall.

"Hamburger, are you ok?" Beltran asked, looking over his Munchlax that was rubbing it's head, breathing heavily. Munch Munch, Lax.[/i] It responding, flopping it's wrist at Beltran, implying it was ok, but the Nosepass wasn't. Beltran assumed it had fainted after taking a look at it, having hit the wall rather hard after the brutal Zen headbutt it took from Munchlax.

[Δ ROYAL]

Yup. Nosepass is knocked out cold.

[ Status: Fainted ]

[Munchlax Experience count: 8/10]

Beltran felt a bit sorry for the Nosepass he had to have Hamburger attack. Taking a deep breath, he recalled Hamburger back into his ball, attached it to his chain and took off through the cave, this time no wild Pokemon were in site.

Exit into Route 5

[Hotaru]

[Beltran]

[Searching for Random Types]

Exiting out of the cave that Hamburger and Beltran had spent a good amount of time in, Beltran raised his arms and gave a yawn that could rival a Snorlax in volume. Looking around, he was back where he started before he entered the cave. He could see Zubat exiting the cave as early evening began to set upon the area. He figured it was time to set up camp around the area. Removing all his Pokeballs, he tossed them all out at once and let all his Pokemon out. Nosepass seemed rather sleepy still, but seemly broke out of it.

Sandshrew was still rolled into a ball and hurt. Quickly, he returned Sandshrew to it's Pokeball that had returned to his hand moments after sending it out. He'd better keep Sandshrew in it's Pokeball until they could get into a Pokemon center. Hamburger seemed rather energetic once again, going through the grass, looking for food as Nosepass flat out fell asleep, still facing north Beltran notice. "Keep out of Trouble Hamburger!" Beltran yelled as his Munchlax ran through the grass that covered it completely, Beltran just saw the grass move through where Hamburger shuffled through, looking for food.

-Half An Hour Later-

Beltran had gotten a fire started with a pot over the flames, cooking his and his Pokemon's dinner. He had taken classes several years ago on how to prepare food that was safe for both Humans and Pokemon to eat. Suddenly, Munchlax came running from the tall grass screaming "MUNCHLAXXXXXXXXXX!"[/i], Beltran turned around to see what happened, what he saw was a rustling in the grass, seemingly ready to pounce on Hamburger as he ran in circles.

As the day would continue on, You would notice a herd of Miltanks running by. As they run by, one stops to get something to eat from a grassy field. Caution must be asserted because there is no telling what the herd would do at this point if it finds the Miltank injured or gone.
