Searching for Territory

 Hm.

 This was the hardest part of being a lone Nidoking. No territory, no respect. And every sound you heard could be a challenge, a fight. Possibly your final fight - yes, he was stronger than basically every pokemon around, but that didn't mean he couldn't lose.

 Would this be it?
 Would this be that day?

 ...no.
 This was a small pokemon. A Vivillon, with a broken wing.
 Yep.

 "O - oh Arceus - I'm so s - sorry

"Kost, get the flashlight. And hold it steady."



    

Kostyum gave an exhale, promptly grabbing the requested tool... and spending a cautious moment looking around. Swallowing nervously, before walking back with it.

"Sarzen, you think you can peg that one with some acid?"



    

He could feel the victreebel swallow nervously. "No, Molino, my, uh, I could use leaves?"

Augmented Instincts



The Pangoro, with heavy footfalls, stood directly in front of Thyma.



The blast of ice slammed into him, but the Pangoro kept his face stoic. Then again, Igetis pretty much always kept his face stoic. Still, everyone knew what this meant - Thyma needed a little time.



Not long.

Admiral Eok-Gi was going over scenarios in his mind.

"Keep holding, Eok - keep up the pressure, Chen!"
"Got it."
The ghostly marowak paused, seeing the clawitzer lower his claw. He'd been right - Eok-Gi was about to show his hand early.
And admittedly, from an outside source he could see why. Chen wasn't 'keeping up the pressure', he was 'savagely being pummeled by the two Floatzel'. The rhyperior was weak to water and it showed - each hit smashing into him and causing him to recoil, in which the next hit

hated falling asleep. As night was the only time he had. The
only time that was truly his - when all the humans had gone to sleep.
This was the one time he could drop the mask of impassive strength,
to breathe. He held Marowak tightly - the latter was crying again.
He cried almost every night. Generally, he was lucky - and cried
himself to sleep. Even without his mask - not a real mask, of
course, but it really was the only way to withstand the day without

And then a thumbs-up. The human sighed, but smiled as well.

reached for another piece - and his hand was stopped by the youth's.
"No really, Threes - it's okay. You don't like it, do

didn't think so." The human poked the pie. "I'm not sure

Beatings "O-oh
no. Oh no oh no!" It was more than a little funny to
Chaln. A couple moments earlier, the granbull was talking big,
giving the small ledian a pair of berries he'd found. Now, he
practically hurled the ledian into one of the small upper passages in
the cave. Almost certainly hoping that Chaln hadn't seen him do it,
haha. The look on his face was always priceless.
There was fear, yes, but then there was this. Complete and total

berry kept away from him. "Hey - let me pulp it first."
The machoke gave a grin, shielding his eyes from the bright
sunlight. "I've got a new mixture idea that could really use a
watmel." The ivysaur pouted, but they both knew he
wasn't really upset. "You and your cooking." "You
know you love it." "We both

rhydon could only whisper in disbelief. He actually still could move
- being held against a wall by his neck in no way impeded his ability
to kick, which it normally would do with great ferocity. His tail
was left dangling - he could've slammed it against the back wall and
generated a magnitude. He could've done a lot of things. But
the very idea that he needed

Value - Sektor 1 "Choke!" And
with that shout, the stone formation in front of the machoke
shattered, the pieces now covering the ground in front of him. What
was left in front of him was a series of bizarrely shaped shards more
than stone, and from the similar shards that littered the ground
about him this was not the first stone to meet its grisly
demise. Slow. It was still too slow!
How was he going to defend himself if his swings were so
slow?

Lun "Th-thanks

log he'd been carrying. He smiled at the pachirisu - "No
problem at all, chum." He looked to the sky. "How're the

had just set down. "Er... they're pretty
good." Van gave the emolga a playful - but very gentle -
pat on the head. "You're a crappy liar." He

Meeting
Sol The
sky was filled with lightning. Sure, Sol knew that machoke
could utilize lightning. He'd done so himself who knows how many
times - charge your fist with lightning, swing in an arc. Useful for
flyers - you can never have too many tools to deal with flyers as a
machoke. But sustaining
the jolts was another thing entirely. Machoke simply lacked the
physiology to do so - there was nowhere for it to be stored, and in
fact wasn't really anywhere for more to be made in greater quant

Studying
for Evolution <I...
I don't...> The kadabra's statement was cut off by a
fierce pressure slamming him downward. He dropped both of his spoons
as his face slammed into the grass - a sequence all too familiar with
him over these past couple months. <Pathetic is an
understatement for you and your progress.> The alakazam's
insults were also an all too common occurrence. The kadabra slowly
pulled himself up - to be slammed down before he could properly get
his footing. <Use

Interference "How
can you just STAND there?!" There weren't many pokemon
who were daring enough to speak in that tone to the alpha pokemon.
Fewer still were the pokemon who would outright shout at him - very
few pokemon could in fact meet with Arceus. Most of the few who did
responded primarily with a sense of awe. Not so the victory
pokemon. Part of why, Arceus lamented, was because he spoke with
Victini on an increasingly regular basis. Still, he shifted his
weight. "Of what

The
machoke was more than a little curious. He'd been following a stream
when he discovered what he'd thought was a small cave... to discover
that it was an enormous network within.
And
now he'd discovered a small secluded area that looked like a pokemon
lived there. It actually was somewhat reminiscent of a human's home
- his attention was first drawn to the electronic device in the
centre of the room. He remembered that - he'd spent s

sound of their fists impacting off each other echoed through the

took the pause to catch his breath. The machoke had been caught by
surprise by the sheer ferocity of the attack - one second he'd been
walking to the small area of the cave where most pokemon gathered to
drink from near the stream's source... and then he was fighting.
Fortunately,
fighting was something he was good at, but that other
machoke was incredibly strong. Still, Akren had a

Technically,
it was only one this time - saying 'they' was inaccurate. This in no
way changed anyone's actions, however - the surge of pokemon went for
their various buildings, which were closed (and the shutters closed)
but not otherwise sealed.
After
all, sealing
your houses could be seen as an insult to them.
This had, after all, come up more than once itself - one town within

"WAIT!" The
Lairon froze - and spun around, a bit perplexed. His head stung
fiercely, and his abrupt spin was a poor idea in his condition - he
kept himself still for a time, as his head spun. Where was
he? He'd been pretty sure he was in the keep, but recent events were
extremely fuzzy in his mind. He remembered being afraid, but
what... "Mornin', little grip." The Lairon
spun again - once again a bad move with his head throbbing the way it
was, but he still

He knew it'd kick in.
        
It always did. A would-be predator saw a snack, and one short tussle later he found himself halfway down someone's throat. Usually he wouldn't even put up much of a fight - just enough to make it look like he cared.
        
This particular creature's was particularly rough at first, which made it even harder. He was good at this,

"So, a week then, Wellen?"
        
The man closed his work case. He was a bit on the tall side, over six feet yet, so he had to lean over a distance to shift things on his small desk. "Yeah... I really need this vacation, Zack. Work's been really harsh lately."

"Alright guys... that gives us some free time for a couple days."
        
Azur, the pokemon trainer from Viridian City, yawned. "And I, for one, intend to catch up on some sleep. We'll be facing Chuck in four days, and since we're able to beat Jasmine, I'm certain we can beat Chuck so long as we're not exhausted facing him. So let's have some time away from training, alright?"
     

        
Ganko panted, tiredly, as he peeked around the corner.
        
He saw nothing... had he lost his tormentor? He took a moment to lean against the wall, his muscular machoke hands gripping the stone wall firmly.
        
That was when he felt it. A thin sliver of a near-liquid pulling at his belt.
        
Giving a startled, "Cho
