Prepping for Roxanne

Oc: This first post is only for Mudkip.

Upon the decision to train Lucas and his team wandered through the forest of route 16 till he found a clearing in the path. He looked around at the clearing to see what he could train with and he saw a large tree across the way.

“Mudkip see that tree?” He asked as he pointed with his finger.

“Run at it with a tackle and jump and hit it as high as you can.” Lucas came to this thought because he remembered Roxanne from a previous trip to Rustboro and he saw her with a Geodude. Mudkip chimed in agreement and began to start to run at the tree with an increasing speed till it was about a foot away from the base of the tree and it sprung up and hit about two and a half foot up the trunk. It stumbled and fell to the ground but promptly got back up and Lucas and Cubone arrived to see how Mudkip did. Lucas examined the tree and found it would be probably high enough to hit a Geodude head on but it was no a large impact and he messed up the landing.

“Good work Mudkip, next time when you hit it try to level yourself off, now go after that tree.” He pointed to another tree, almost the same distance as the last, and the Mudkip locked in its sites on the tree and began to sprint at it with all  the force the tiny body could use and he jumped, with a bit more room between, and slammed into the tree and it creaked. Mudkip’s feet were falling down first and as he landed on his back feet he balanced on them for a few seconds as his body caught up. By the time mudkip turned around Lucas and Cubone were close behind with a thin stick which confused the Mudkip. “Great job I heard it creak from where we were now let’s have some fun.” Lucas passed a side of the stick to Cubone and said

“Why don’t we play limbo, but run under it and blast it with a water gun.” “Mud-Mudkip” he agreed.  Cubone held it as high as he could and Mudkip ran under the first time doing nothing just to get the hang of it. The second time he slide under on his back and blasted a water gun, but missed due to the speed.

“That’s alright next time go slower to try to hit it.” Mudkip did as Lucas suggested and he lightly jogged then slid to his back and he accurately blasted the thin stick and shattered it. They resumed when Lucas obtained a stronger thin branch. Mudkip sped up a bit and shot another of its weak water guns and it hit but didn’t break the new stick. Mudkip started to accumulate water in its mouth before it ran again then he ran at a higher speed and blasted a small cantaloupe sized water ball at the previously impenetrable stick and it blasted through leaving small strains keeping it together. Mudkip flipped onto its feet and ran at the stick and playfully mud slapped it apart. This gave Lucas an idea to both bond his pokemon and train Mudkip. He looked at cubone who was retrieving his bone from the ground.

“Cubone throw your bone at random directions toward Mudkip, but don’t hit him.” He chuckled.

“Mudkip you counter it with a mud slap and aim to hit it on the left or right of Cubone.” Lucas got two decently sized stones that he put on either side of Cubone about a foot away and said

“Just aim for those two.” Cubone threw his bone to the upper-right side of Mudkip and he jumped and mud slapped it toward the rock on the left and hit the edge of the rock. Cubone grabbed it from the ground and resumed throwing it, they did this till Mudkip was almost spot on with his hit backs.

(This isn't a bad training post! Just try to capitalize proper names [i.e: Cubone instead of cubone] as well as moves [i.e: Quick Attack instead of quick attack] Because you wrote about 680 words, Mudkip gets 68 EXP.)

oc: This post is for Cubone and thanks for the support Card :)

After Mudkip’s long training time Cubone was ready for some time in the limelight. Lucas thought about the moves that Cubone had that would be good against rock, so he decided he should train Cubone with Bone Club. Lucas shuffled through his pack and found some rope and picked up one of the rocks beside Cubone and tied the rope to the rock and a low branch.

“All I want you to do is hit the rock with a Bone Club then dodge it on the backswing, then hit it on the other side and repeat. Easy enough right, buddy?” “Cubone.” He responded confidently. Cubone began by slamming into the right side of the stone with a Bone Club. It swung back and returned to Cubone who easily dodged the swinging stone and countered with a smash to the left side. He repeated this process a couple time till Lucas went to the opposite side of the stone and grabbed it.

“Keep doing what you were doing, but with a little more effort.” Lucas chuckled. He swung the rock toward his waiting Cubone who counted with a powerful Bone Club that shattered the stone. Lucas jumped back and said

“I’m sure with that force you’ll be fine ha-ha.” Lucas recalled to their fight with Mudkip and remembered he knew Avalanche.

“Cubone duck and weave the best as you can and if any approach to close smash them with a Bone Club or hit it to the side or try to shred it. Now, Mudkip use Avalanche.” Mudkip did as it was told and formed glacier rocks that fell down over Cubone. Cubone dodged small pieces and a large rock was falling right above him so he smashed it to bits with a Bone Club and he twirled his bone above him to deflect the small pebbles as he walked out of the small blizzard. This process repeated multiple times till the tea got hungry and decided they were ready to eat and defeat Roxanne.
