Welcome Back to the Dragonair's Den RPG!

I scowled, this Espeon was a damn pain in the ass.

“Alright guys!” I yelled, addressing the two Pokémon. “Let’s hit it hard and fast, don’t hold back. Ho-oh, blast Espeon with your Sacred Fire! Staryu, follow up Ho-oh’s Sacred Fire with a Hydro Pump while it’s immobile!”

The two cried in triumphance. Ho-oh began by flapping its wings in a series of intricate movements, followed by a burst of heat from its mouth which gradually took shape into a flaming Ho-oh! The Ho-oh surveyed its multiple opponents calmly and then noticing that they were in the form of a line shot across the Espeons, causing two to disappear and one to be blown backwards! While Espeon on its side, Staryu gathered water in ront of its gem and shot it out at the now revealed Espeon.

Espeon got up then blinked as it noticed the blast nearing. Today wasn’t its day.

Espeon's eyes widened and then it was hit by the powerful blast of water, being sent flying several meters and knocked out! Playstation ran over to the unconscious Espeon and started bawling her eyes out like the little annoying brat that she was. XD

Sony sighed and walked over to you and offered a hand. "Ryan... Thanks. That was a great match," he said. After shaking your hand like the good sport that he was, he dug in his pocket and pulled out some money and put it in your hand. "Here. You deserve this!" He just gave you, like, over five hundred dollars!!! All you can do (possibly) is stare at the pile of money he just handed you. Meanwhile, Playstation was still crying her eyes dry, and to your pleasure, Ho-oh and Staryu both leveled up! Twice!

Sony looked over at Playstation and sighed. “Maybe I’ll see you again sometime and have a rematch when I’ve got some new Pokémon.” He said smiling at me. Before I could respond he walked over to Playstation and dragged her onwards with him, back the direction I came from.

I just stood there blinking. Well, that was odd. Oh well. I pulled out what I thought was Staryu’s pokéball and moved to return it. Instead of the red light I expected though, it was white, and out popped my silvery Eevee who clung to my neck mewling. Oh dear. Not another one. I really had to get these labeled.

I sighed and this time found the right pokéball for Staryu and in an instant he was back inside his ball. I then went to return Eevee and Ho-oh to their spheres but Ho-oh took flight with a surprised squawk and Eevee danced around my head and shoulders, evading the laser.

“Okay fine, you can stay out.” I declared rolling my eyes. Ho-oh came back to hover beside me. Hmm, how was I going to explain a giant legendary bird if I ran into somebody else? Maybe the same way I did with Sony. I laughed at the thought and Eevee looked at me, puzzled. I just smiled and ruffled the hair on its head, and it jumped back ontop of my head with a quick “Eev!”, curling up and enjoying the ride.

Ho-oh was eyeing the Pokémon who had watched it battling, but they ran away in fear. There was no way any of them wanted to face something THAT ferocious. Ho-oh squawked triumphantly, as if saying “Hah that’s right, you run away.” I however just rolled my eyes and took a better look at my location.

We were on a rocky plateau, many feet above the ground. About 20 meters ahead, the plateau gradually climbed again and as I looked from this spot I was able to see my next location, the Borealis Peak, a snowy mountain far above me. Well, no time like the present, I thought and started to climb while Eevee hung for dear life, and Ho-oh circled the area.

[Akehoshi]

You hike up even higher, and higher, and higher, and... "We've finally reached the top of the mountain!" There, you are sucker-punched and fall all the way back down the to the bottom you see a tiiiiiiiiny little speck waaaaaaay down below. This MUST have been the town of Inari! Geez, you were such a long way up. It'd suck if someone sucker-punched you and you tumbled back down!

Luckily for you, no one did that. Instead, it seemed completely deserted. Or at least until something knocked Eevee off of your head! And so Eevee tumbles all the way back down the mountain back to Inari! And a Sandshrew was now on your head instead, and Eevee was on the ground! You wonder if Sandshrew is lonely? It certainly seemed to want the attention that Eevee got. XD

[Hooh251]

“Uh…” I blinked as I slowly reached towards my belt. If I could slowly reach for an empty pokéball while it didn’t notice…

Sandshrew started cuddling around my head, not noticing a thing. Not even the angry Eevee that was now growling at it from my feet. I sent a warning signal at it with my eyes while I quietly unclipped a ball. Ho-oh seemed to be able to sense my feelings and so stayed out of sight.

I raised my right arm, clutching the pokéball. I only had one shot at this. When it reached my shoulder, I shot my arm up and pressed the ball’s button against the Pokémon, and jumped back as it fell to the ground, starting to wiggle!

“HAHA!” I shouted in triumph, and Eevee jumped back onto its rightful spot. I watched the ball anxiously, because I knew that asking for it to succeed the first time was quite a bit much. Strangely though, it didn’t look like Sandshrew was struggling much…

[Akehoshi]

The ball wiggled a couple times but then stopped! Lucky, LUCKY you!!! You caught Sandshrew on your first try!!! XD However, just when you relaxed, it popped out of the Pokeball and glomped you!!! Oh, no, don't worry, you still got it. XD It's just...kinda...glued to you, shall we say in a most definite not-literal way?

[Hooh251]

"Oh God, not another one." I said smiling. Sandshrew could tell I didn't really mean it and it found a pocket big enough for it in my jeans, making a happy “shrew!” sound.

And just when it got comfortable it started turning white as my box realized that I had 7 pokémon on hand and that just would not do. In a flash of light, Sandshrew and the ball were back in the box and I headed into a small camp at the top of Borealis Peak

[Akehoshi]

As you step into camp, you realize that this little community has much in it, including a railway that passed by there. This camp must've been a common stop for trainers coming through here, and they were probably well-stocked, with the railway available. If you wanted, you could probably rest here and restock on supplies before continuing on.

(You may move on, Trainer!)
