Seth, the begginin, or the end?

"Tch." A young boy around, if not exactly, the same age as the boy who just spoke to the villager, approached the trainer. Even though this boy usually avoided social interaction, this situation urged him to confront this other guy. With an annoyed expression and a frown on his face, his teeth clinched, he spoke, "Yes, it is true that there is a Darmanitan up the Clock Tower. And no, it is not true that you're going to get your hands on it." Almost growling like a wild Pokemon, the pissed off runt continued his tantrum, "I've walked here all the way from Opelucid City to get that Darmanitan!" He told the trainer one half of the story, leaving behind the part where he had come to go to Aspertia City, where he heard a new Gym was located. He had ridiculous ambitions and in order to make those dreams a reality, he had decided to get stronger through fighting the Gyms. "So. If you're going to keep going to the Clock Tower for that, you're either going to have to beat me to it or beat me here and now!"

Behind the agitated trainer stood three Pokemon. A Deino was on the floor, so basically not standing. It was almost sunbathing as it lied on its front, relaxing as if asleep. A Larvitar stood on the Deino and stamped on it, pulling its horn-like structure on its head and pulling its tail and finally, a Bagon stood beside the two other Pokemon, ready to battle.

Not having expected anything like that, Tsubasa fell prey to the boy's tricks, having gone the wrong way and losing himself in the town. Although the place was relatively small, the boy was not familiar with the place and thus was helpless. He couldn't find the Clock Tower no matter how hard he tried. Noticing the Black Smoke, he felt something fishy. Was this the boy's doing? Or is there another factor in play here? The confused trainer was frustrated as he looked back to see that his Pokemon were missing. Had they been abducted, or did they lose their way. "Darn it!!" The boy had at least expected the trainer to battle him on the spot as most trainers did when challenged.

Meanwhile...

The sound that Seth heard was a quiet one. It came from behind. If Seth looked, he would see to Darumaka's. The sound they made echoed in the clock tower and then a very loud thud was heard before and even louder "GROAAAARRGHHH!!" This sound, without doubt was coming from the top of the tower, most surely the Darmanitan. The Darumaka's had warned the bigger Pokemon of Seth's presence in the tower, he was possibly recognized as a threat. The two smaller Pokemon did not attack the trainer, it was as if they had just given Darmanitan a notice, instead of an S.O.S. cry. But if disturbed, they could just let one out.

Level 30♂

As the ghostly clouds filled the room, the Darmanitan's shadow appeared through the smoke, it choked a few times but in all it did not look like much damage was caused. Right then, the pokemon used Hex on the Darmanitan, causing it to take some more non-physical damage that wore it down. taking some damage but not enough to lose its power, the Darmanitan roared loudly in aggression. The Pokemon's fists then glowed red and became engulfed in flames before the wild Darmanitan charged at the Yamask, swinging its right fist at the Yamask in every intention of knocking it down and knocking it out.

Darmanitan was affected by Disable, its Fire Punch now disabled. It was unsure of how the black smoke was being generated, however. Charging head on into where it sensed the Yamask, Darmanitan's fangs became engulfed in flame this time as he attempted to bite the Yamask, who was protected by its move. When the fangs bounced back and the protective field disappeared, Darmanitan curled up into a ball and rolled at the Yamask at extreme speeds and force, using Rollout!

Annoyed at the taunt, Darmanitan did not stop his Rollout, the attack taht kept going anyway for three rounds. Yamask could have used the opportunity to attack Darmanitan, who would have charged at Yamask whether or not it taunted him. Mercilessly wrecking the floor under it, Darmanitan charged at where he saw Yamask, falling prey to Seth's plan as it was now very close to the bell, allowing Yamask to carry out its plan. However, two Darumaka, the same ones from before, were climbing the stairs. Unless Seth finished this job quickly, he could be in trouble as the two Darumaka were strong as well and Seth would possibly be outnumbered.

Having been directly under the bell, Darmanitan was pretty much helpless as the bell rung loudly, causing it to flinch, shutting its eyes and covering its ear with both hands tightly trying to unsuccessfully block the sound. The bells, which were recently repaired after being somewhat destroyed, were not in good condition. When they were rung with such force, one of the bells, the one Darmanitan was under, fell down! It hit Darmanitan right in the head before banging into the floor creating a loud noise and leaving Darmanitan dazed and helpless. The locals would be furious if they saw the broken bell!

The Pokeball hit the Darmanitan, sucked the Pokemon in in a white flash and landed on the floor. After a few long seconds, the Pokeball shook once. Then twice. Thrice. And incredibly, a fourth time before stopping for another few seconds that felt like an eternity. It looked as if the Darmanitan was going to break free any second but surprisingly, despite all odds, nothing happened and a lock-like sound was heard. A trainer with weak Pokemon (compared to the Darmanitan), successfully caught the strong Pokemon against all odds! However, this was not the end of Seth's troubles. In front of him now were two angry Darumaka wondering where their leader went. Outside the tower and a distance away was a trainer who was angry at Seth for having used such cheap methods to both avoid a battle and to beat him to a race to the tower to reach the Darmanitan. Also outside were people living in the town who might not be happy if they found out a trainer captured the Darmanitan who peacefully resided in the Clock Tower for quite a while now.

"HEY GET BACK HERE!" The same boy from before, the one who confronted Seth before he arrived at the Clock Tower. Seeing the situation, the boy guessed it wrong. He thought that Seth entered the tower but got chased out by the Darmanitan. Little did he know that the trainer succeeded in capturing the fierce Pokemon. The boy was down below, the black smoke in the village had cleared out and the illusions had worn out, allowing the boy to find the Clock Tower. He was on his way there running when he spotted Seth jump out of the tower. Smirking now, the boy drew a Pokeball from his bag and aimed it at the trainer before him, preparing for battle by calling one of his Pokemon to attack before he can escape this time. However, as he threw the ball, it just landed on the floor and nothing came out. Puzzled, the boy bent too pick up the Pokeball. As he bent to pick it up, he remembered something. His three Pokemon were out of their Pokeballs and right behind him before! Looking back, he feared that he lost them in the smoke. And he was right, the three were no where to be seen. Until....

 "BEEEY!! BAAAAGON!!" A sound was heard coming from the Clock Tower. Right from where Seth had jumped. To Tsubasa's surprise, it was his own Pokemon! Had it traced the boy to the Clock Tower or had it just arrived? Only the Bagon knew! In a short while, two Darumaka flew from the tower together and crashed on the roof, barely missing Seth. From the looks of it, it was the Bagon's doing. In less than a second, the Pokemon peered out of the place where Seth jumped and roared even louder looking down on Seth. Particularly angry at the trainer for having run from a fight the Pokemon was so pumped up for. Looking at the two Darumaka, one could see that they were both fainted. Not hesitating or even waiting for an order, the Bagon leaped from the Clock Tower in a flying position, hoping to fly at Seth. Sadly for the wingless Pokemon, it dropped to the roof below and hurt itself. Sighing hopelessly, Tsubasa just looked away knowing that his Pokemon would act on its own at this point no matter what he said. Its whole body glowing a bluish color now, it swiftly rushed at Seth's Yamask with Dragon Rush, hoping to provoke the trainer into a fight!

Being teamed up on, Bagon had little to no hope of winning. As Bagon rushed at the Yamask, a Darmanitan was summoned into the battlefield. Taking both Bagon and his trainer by surprise, the Darmanitan used FirePunch, hitting Bagon in the face and sending it flying almost back where it jumped from but his flight was stopped by Seth's Scisor who used BulletPunch on him to send him crashing back to the roof. As the smoke cleared, Tsubasa saw the situation. "Darn it! If only Deino and Larvitar were here.." Looking at his injured Bagon, Tsubasa drew Bagon's Pokeball and considered returning it there to let it get some rest. Still, this cocky trainer was annoying an something had to be done about him. Growling now, Tsuabasa ordered the Bagon to keep at it.   Struggling back on to its feet, the Bagon looked at the three Pokemon around it, teaming up on the poor Pokemon against the rules of traditional Pokemon Battles. Tsubasa just had to stall the Pokemon, mainly the Darmanitan until Larvitar and/or Deino found him. That way he can retaliate using his own three at once as well. Already weakened, Bagon did not give up as he swiftly charged at Darmanitan once again, with Dragon Rush, repeating the tactic it had used before. It was built for attacking purposes and stalling was not his exact field of specialty.

 As Tsubasa saw the three moves coming, he acted swiftly by returning Bagon to its Pokeball before any of the three moves hit him. This left Darmanitan and Scizor left in a dangerous position where they could possibly punch each other, most likely damaging Scizor more than Darmanitan. Not to mention the Hex that followed. Turning his back on Seth, Tsubasa prepared to walk away in search of his two Pokemon that he lost in the black smoke that had mysteriously appeared before. Completely aware that Seth was the one who caused the black smoke, assuming that it was a move known by Yamask and completely unaware of any kind of curse inflicted on the boy, Tsubasa cursed Seth under his breath as he thought of where his Pokemon could be. Taking a guess, Deino was sunbathing, he decided. "Tch." He muttered as he looked back at Seth, "Don't get ahead of yourself. I assure you this won't be the last time we meet. We will see each other soon enough and when we do, you will regret having done that. Say, what is your name?"

 As the bird fell down from the sky, it landed hard on the ground and was injured yet not fainted. This one could take hits! But that was not important. As much as he cared about Pokemon, Swanna was not needed in his perfect team. Regardless, he wished the best for the separated Bird Pokemon and thus decided to save it from a life of misery. Thinking of how to pull off such a stunt, he thought of the factors. He was going to have to be a tough trainer, a Swanna was not in his wishlist even though all Pokemon, if used right, are strong nonetheless. Sighing, he turned his back to the Swanna. "Tch. I can't take her in my team but I do want to save her. We capture her now and abandon her at the nearest Pokemon Center. I'm sure they will take good care of her.." With that he threw a Pokeball at the Swanna and without even looking at its maturity or ability or anything, just put the captured Pokemon into his pocket. He was not going to use her in battle anyway and she was of no use to him and thus he did not bother with all that. She will be gone before the next part of the "plan".
