Route 116

As you sets out toward Chairluire, he takes a look at the news article. It describes how tourist were chased by threatening glows when they stepped away from the guided tour, and how Colonel Jasmine Chaney denies any threat to the population, or link to the terrorist attack in Rivierstel. Nothing too interesting, to be honest.

The background information is much better, describing how Chairluire is an ancient fortress, now repurposed as mid-tier gym challenge. Though the military base has moved to the hills nearby, aspiring trainers have to band together, and assault the fortress to capture it's flag. The challenge usually happen weekly, and tourist can take guided tour the rest of the time. There are stories of old warriors still haunting the castle, but nothing solid.

You're distracted from your reading by pained cries off the sides of the trail, seeming to come from a crack in the mountain's wall.

Route 116

It doesn't take long on Atticus' journey for him to run into a sudden issue. He heard the cries of pain and was immediately distraught by them. He frowned and reached to his belt so that Bubby could come out and help him, if needed. "Come on, Bubby, sounds like someone's in trouble," he explained and the female Bulbasaur nodded in agreement and ran alongside her trainer. Atticus runs off of the trail and towards the source of the cries, peeking through the crack in the mountain.

Route 116

The crack spreads into a small caves, as though two walls bent and met each others above you. Your attention is drawn to a fallen man, groaning on the floor. His long gray coat has multiple scratches and cuts, but he seems only lightly wounded.

It's soon clear why he's hurt: a very angry Pawniard rushes toward you from the back of the cave, stepping on the man to reach you.

OOC: The pokémon is completely furious. The cave is thin, but  not so much as to hinder the fight. It does make it impossible to reach the man without defeating the small pokémon, though.

Route 116

Atticus' eyes widen as he realizes he's about to be attacked by an irate Pawniard, taking out his Pokedex quickly to make sure that was indeed what it was. He wanted to help the man, but he would have to deal with the angry Pokemon first. Bubby stepped in front of him prepared to battle but Atticus was not ready to jump into conflict just yet -- he wanted to try something. "Hey buddy, hold on there... did this strange man come into your home? Maybe it was an accident?" he asked calmly with both hands wide open in a sign of peace.

OOC: Atticus would like to use his Pokemon Knowledge ability & Pokemon Friend strength to try and figure out why the Pawniard is upset, looking around for clues without agitating it further.

Looking around the cave, it doesn't seem like the Pawniard's lair. Despite that, it clearly acting like it's defending it's territory. It probably won't stop attacking until you're out of his sight.

That would mean leaving the man behind, but maybe you could sneak back in after the pokémon stops following you, or you could call for a rescue team to pick him up. It's dangerous, but he didn't seem to have life-threatening injury.

Route 116

A part of Atticus wanted to run away and go get help, but this was exactly the kind of challenge he needed to face if he wanted to continue his journey. So he locked eyes with the Pawniard and frowned, but his voice became more determined. "Alright Bubby, looks like we're gonna have to be the heroes this time...use Growth and then let's try keeping our distance with your Vine Whip!"

OOC: Atticus will engage in battle, take a turn to use Growth, and then go on the offensive.

As Bubby gathers his strength, the Pawniard shouts in it's language. Though it's not clear what was said, your Bulbasaur seems angered by it. Before he can start attacking, the Pawniard seems to fade into the cave's shadow, before jumping in to strike Bubby from the side, leaving a nasty gash.

Bubby tries to reply with both his vine whip and a tackle, but the pawn just fades back into the shadows, before injuring your Bulbasaur again.

Bubby has been injured twice, and is under the effect of Torment. His Overgrow ability is active, but he has a hard time landing a hit.

As he expected, this was a much more difficult challenge and he was disappointed in himself that Bubby had gotten injured so quickly. Maybe he had been too hasty with her, but he retreated her from the battle before she got injured further. He reached for his second occupied ball and took a deep breath. He was not going to leave the stranger here at the mercy of the Pawniard, and hopefully, Shelby's typing would give him an advantage here. "Shelby, we need your help! Withdraw and then go on the offensive with Tackle!"

OOC: Atticus takes Bubby out of the battle and replaces her with Shelby who uses Withdraw to buff up before attacking. Atticus will use 5 Favor points towards landing a hit and 5 more towards damage.

Shelby appears in Bubby's place, and is met with a killer glare from the Pawniard. He withdraw in his shell, though it seems more out of fear than because of a strategy. It doesn't help that the steel pokémon continues it's Feint Attacks, wounding your companion. The shock makes Shelby suddenly open, smacking the Pawniard and making it stumble back.

Before you can shout a new command, the Pawniard is hit by a red beam, and disappears. You see the injured man, still lying on the floor and breathing heavily, has just recalled it into a pokéball.

OOC: Shelby has taken a wound during the fight.

Even Atticus was frightened by the Pawniard's glare but lucky for him and his Pokemon, but thankfully it was taken away before Shelby could take any more damage. He sighed a breath of relief and then looked over to see it was the man's Pokemon! He rushed over carefully and kneeled down. "Hey Sir, are you okay? What happened?" he asked as he wondered how he could help the guy now. He didn't know anything about medicine, just how to deal with minor scrapes and bruises, nothing as serious as this!

"I'm fine... ouch... mostly." The man pulls himself against the wall, and you see his coat appears to be some sort of uniform, though not one you're familiar with. He gives a depressed look at the ball in his hand. "This was a mistake... I should have..."

He looks at you, and seems to think you're confused. "Apologies, I'm getting ahead of myself. I am Brother Kidd, exorcist of the church of Arceus. We received an urgent request from Chairluire to address unruly ghost, and... I was the only one available. He glances at the ball once more, before storing it away. "Alas, my usual partner was badly injured in my previous assignment, and I was forced to team up with this Pawniard. Alas, it seems I have offended him, badly enough that he decided to attack me."

Atticus listened attentively to the man's explanation for why the Pawniard attacked him. He raised a brow when he mentioned that he was the exorcist that he had been curious about. "Wow, that's crazy! What did you say to that Pawniard? Can you still do the exorcism? Do you use Pokemon for that?" He realized that he was asking a lot of questions but that's why he had sought the man out in the first place. "That's a tough Pokemon, he beat my team up good! How far to the city from here?"
