Chapter 2 continued...part 4: Nine-tailed Ninja Nonsense
Well, here we are at Sprout Tower. Why am I not surprised that the roof is purple?
Talking to some of the locals chilling on the ground floor of the tower, it seems like this is an old-wood-training tower for pokemon. Gee, a creaky old wooden dojo, maybe I
am a ninja.
Before moving on to the higher floors, one of the civilians warns me that there are wild pokemon roaming the floors above, and that I should be careful...wild pokemon in a human built
tower? These people need to call an exterminator.
----------------------------
oooh! Ooooh! Pretty fox thing! Gotta catch it gotta catch it!
I send Angel out and she clamps the "Ninetails" in place! The Ninetails kicks her in the lower body in an effort to free itself, but Angel holds on and veils herself in her magical ring of healing water to help her tank any damage.
The Ninetails continues to thrash in her grip, kicking and punching and even blasting Angel with an Aura Sphere, like what Qwillin can do, and suddenly the Ninetails breaks free!
I order Angel to clamp it again!
...Maybe she clamped down a bit too hard there. I throw a pokeball, hoping that the Ninetails isn't strong enough to break free. Otherwise Angel would squeeze her to death.
Booyah! Got her!
I decide to name her Sela, after my favorite fox vixen and the mother of one of my favorite villains in a story from my childhood.
Judging by the pokedex's readings of her stats, her powerlevel isn't up to snuff with the rest of the team. Guess it's time for more training!
------------------------------------
On our way up through the tower this monk guy challenged us.
Odd looking monk, I must say.
The coolmonk sends out this Shelgon thing, and I send out Qwillin. Qwillin handles the battle well by punching Shelgon right between the eyes and knocking it out cold.
...This seems much more intimidating. Qwillin punches the beast, but it isn't very effective. Oh geez. The gengar responds to the punch with a noisy tantrum, causing an uproar! What luck, I was afraid Qwillin was done for, but instead he took minimum damage.
I send out Angel instead, who proceeds to drown the noisy tantrumming Gengar in a couple water pulses.
...Wat. While this pokemon looks fearsome, Angel manages to drown the thing in a single hit. Apparently, "Mawiles" can't swim.
With Coolmonk Sonya defeated, it's on to the next trainer!
---------------------------------
Come at me, Tia-bro.
Tia's first pokemon, is, uh, this thing. Sela nuked the Jynx in only two hits, despite her attacks being not very effective. The jynx was too busy dancing with swords to fight back.
Sela is unfazed by salty seadog here.A couple blasts of Aura Sphere, and it's down. It attempted to "hammer arm" Sela, but she dodged nimbly away.
Man, these pokemon look so weird sometimes. Sela nukes this frosslass in one hit of aura sphere. Ha, Sela took down three pokemon in a row without a scratch. I like this fox.
------------------------------
A new challenger approaches!
It's a kung-fu-fighting fox versus a giant enemy crab! Sela! Use Aura Sphere, aim for its weak point for massive damage!
Oh, so a giant enemy crab couldn't kill Sela, so instead he sends out a pink sheep instead. Brilliant!
...Sela incinerated the flesh from the sheep's bones with an Aura Sphere.
Well now this is just silly. A fish like that stands no chance. Sela! Fry it into fishsticks with an Aura Sphere, then loot the trainer for cash and we'll g-
Oh. Ohhhhhhh. Well then, I'll let Jesus nom this fish in the face. It stands no chance against his jaws of death!
----------------------------
well, this tower isn't nearly as big as I thought. It looks like there's only three floors? Sheesh, and the only pokemon we've found so far is these samurai-ninja foxes that seem to be just crawling from the woodwork. I'll admit it's a bit--
Oh hey, a new pokemon on a new floor. I'mma catch it.
"Heavy Metal" Jesus the vain Hasty Charmander: 17 wild pokemon (1 overkill), 3 trainer pokemon, 20 kills total
Angel the tenacious Quirky Buneary: 7 wild pokemon, 8 trainer pokemon, 13 kills total
Qwillin the Impish Qwilfish: 3 wild pokemon, 1 trainer pokemon, 4 kills total
Sela the Docile Ninetails: 5 wild pokemon, 5 trainer pokemon, 10 kills total
Aaaaaw man, fighting type ninetails? That's badass. Sela's moveset and stats are great too, if only because of Aura Sphere. She lacks any non-offensive moves, and she might not learn any due to her pure fighting type. Then there's the fact I now have 2 fighting pokemon out of 4. Still, Qwillin seems good for defense and Sela is great at special attack and defense / special defense, and her unmissable 90 power Aura Sphere is glorious for sweeping these trainers.
In other news, suddenly Numel.
In other other news, Heavy Metal Jesus seems to be acquiring quite the harem. Nothing but lady pokemon to be caught at the moment, I guess Heavy Metal Jesus is wearing Axe cologne.
