As the Stonjourner ambled away, Armand couldn't help but sighed as he put his Poke Ball away as watched it disappeared from his sight. While he was a bit disappointed, he did say it was their choice. All he could do was to smile as his Absol cried out to him. "Oh, don't worry about it. I don't want that Pokemon to force into our team since it didn't show any signs of hostility. Every Pokemon in the wild has a life and I can't just yank them out for my own goals. That's something you will have to learn during our journey together."
While a bit confused at what his trainer said, Voyant hummed in thought, interested at his explanation before Armand commanded him to rejoin by Josh's side. But as he did, he noticed him staring at something not far away. "Huh? What's the matter, Josh?"

Josh's skin tingled at the thought of encountering whatever did that. The road was way too clean other than a few blades of grass that were uprooted from the sides. "Whatever did this had to be able to produce a lot of wind," he explained. "Either a really strong flying Pokémon or a really big bug Pokémon, probably." Josh tilted his head northward. "I dunno about Kalos, but back home, big forests like that are Beedrill country," he continued. "When I was young, I got stung once. Not only does the sting itself hurt, but my arm felt like it was on fire afterward. They're also really aggressive this time of year, right before they have to hibernate." Little did he know that he was right on the money with what had passed, though his concern was overblown - the Beedrill that did this belonged to a trainer. Josh quickly was distracted by a traveling trainer and their Delibird. He wasn't going to be able to prepare for the Gym without doing a couple of quick battles along the way. Accepting the bird trainer's challenge, Ixion and the ice-type entered battle. While this would normally be a lopsided match in his favor, Ixion was too young to harness her fire. Her hooves would do just fine, though! While the ice Pokémon was digging through its bag for the perfect "gift", Josh's faster Pokémon took the initiative. By the time she had found one, it was too late - the speedy fire-type was already on top, knocking her adversary over and trampling her. Ironically, this had knocked the Delibird out of the radius of its own attack. She unknowingly knocked over the gift box that had been placed near her, exposing its contents. A low roar reverberated in both directions along the road, the Ponyta caught in an explosion. Whatever volatile substance was in the gift box seemed to explode the moment it was opened. The two exchanged blows this way a second time. While she was worse for wear, Ixion's speed advantage proved to be her most powerful weapon. Seeing no point in driving the Delibird to fainting, Josh's opponent recalled the ice-type and yielded to him. "Either way, let's keep moving," Josh said to Armand after his distraction. The yellow-dressed racer climbed back aboard Ixion and brought her to a swift trot - the fastest speed he was comfortable ascertaining details at. Plus, the slower speed would give Ixion a chance to recover. If whatever did this showed up, though, there was no speed that could take them away from it fast enough. --- Apply "Prize Money" feature to this battle.Ixion's level is now 6!Armand Leclair NAME SPECIES LV EP Ixion Ponyta 6 3{WC: 435} {PC: 8}

Now that he thought about it, he did hear a bit of a buzzing noise after Stonjourner left. "Well, you're not wrong. I did see a few Beedrills when I traveled through Santalune Forest, but I managed to avoid their nest thanks to my grandfather's warnings. I doubt I can catch one unless it's necessary for my team."With that, the two continued their way to their destination. But while Josh took care of the traveling trainer who was passing by, Armand had some issues on his own. When he was watching the battle, he noticed a commotion behind him. When he turned around, he gasped to see a red six-tailed fox firing small embers to a small blue, black, and yellow bird as it snickered at its attempts. Curious at the new Pokemon, he took out his Pokedex and scanned it. "Huh. A Rookidee and it's a Flying-type. It seemed to be like other ones like Fletchling and Pidgey, but never a pure Flying-type."But as he returned his phone in his pocket, his eyes widened to see the red fox firing another Ember, which one of the plants was hit as it started burning. Realizing that one of them might interrupt Josh's battle, he decided to intervene as he jumped out of Voyant and ran in between the two Pokemon. "Enough, you two! If you don't stop, you might end up burning some of the trees here!" However, Armand's pleas were ignored as the red fox fired another Ember and the bird divebombing at him beak first, which forced himself to jump away and pulled out a Poke Ball. Normally for him, he had to rely on Melodie to calm both parties with her singing. But since she was still in customs and they were somehow too angry to listen, he had to rely on other means. "Voyant, hold Vulpix down with Quick Attack! Violet, use Ember on that Flying-type Pokemon!"He tossed the ball in the air, which released his Ghost/Fire-type as fired his own Ember towards Rookidee. As for his Absol, he charged in and tackled the Fire-type with the said attack. Annoyed that their bout was interrupted, the Fox Pokemon angrily glared at Voyant, which its eyes briefly flashed, and to his shock, he felt something within him as he quickly backed away in fear. It then tried to use Quick Attack, but to his surprise, he found himself not able to, much to Armand's shock. As for the Rookidee, it dashed to the Candle Pokemon and started pecking on the poor ghost's head. Still following Armand's orders, Violet quickly fought back by scaring it with Astonish, which briefly flew away from him. However, it just made it angrier before it divebombed on him and pecked him many times again, which he was starting to cry from the pain. "Damn it. Vulpix must have used Disable on Voyant's Quick Attack. At least that's the only attack it was disabled. But until then..."He then turned to Violet again and with his order, the Ghost/Fire-type Pokemon narrowed his eyes and spewed a smoke point-blank to Rookidee. This caused it to cough as it flew away from the smoke. While he was relieved to see this, Armand was a bit interested in that Pokemon. With that said, he pulled out an empty Poke Ball and shouted, "Sorry for this, little guy."With a strong swing, he tossed the ball towards the Tiny Bird Pokemon. Violet (Litwick) - Level 6 - 2 Energy Voyant (Absol) - Level 5 - 3 Energy (Still battling, will be deducting his Energy at the next post) Lutin (Snubbull) - Level 5 - 3 Energy (Mod Call: Armand will use a Poke Ball to catch Rookidee. Voyant's battle with Vulpix will continue after the Mod Call)(Violet's level is now Level 6!)Josh Devlin [ WC: 579] [ PC: 8]

Even after the ball caught the bird, it suddenly escaped after two shakes and flew away in panic, much to Armand's dismay. He even groaned as he stared at his now-broken Poke Ball. As much as he was frustrated at this, he had to give up on Rookidee for now as it already got away and focus on the other wild Pokemon, and right now, his Absol was a bit of trouble. Because after he tried to follow his instructions to use Bite, it kept on firing Ember to his face whenever he tried to attack. Seeing this, he approached his Litwick and pet his wax where the Rookidee pecked to make him feel better. "Violet, don't worry. It's gone. Though we should avert our attention from it for now and let's focus on Vulpix and help Voyant out." As he stared at his Pokemon with a smile, Violet's eyes slowly perked up, and cried in determination. "Okay. We should take care of its stamina first. Use Smog two times!"Violet jumped in front of his trainer and took a deep breath before he spewed black smoke to Vulpix. As he did so, Armand ordered his Absol to back away, which he complied just as the smoke reached his opponent, which it started to cough. Just as it tried to get away as well, Voyant's eyes glowed purple as he glared at the fox, which flinched and stop running just as another smoke spewed out from Violet again. "Voyant, once the smoke briefly clears away, use Bite. Violet, keep using Smog!"Both of his Pokemon cried as Voyant waited for the smoke to clear away and once it did so a little bit, he charged towards the Fox Pokemon and bit down on its tail, which it screamed in pain. As it flinched, it backed away and let his partner spewed out more Smog. This time, Vulpix's face became purple as it started stumbling around. Upon seeing its current condition, Armand ordered Voyant to use Bite, which he did so once the smoke cleared. As for Violet, he approached the Vulpix and screamed in an astonishing fashion, which it screamed in horror and fired an Ember to the Litwick. However, it managed to endure the attack before he and Voyant jumped away from their opponent. "Good job, you two! I'll take care of the rest," Armand said before he tossed another empty Poke Ball to the Fox Pokemon. Violet (Litwick) - Level 7 - 1 Energy Voyant (Absol) - Level 5 - 2 Energy Lutin (Snubbull) - Level 5 - 3 Energy (Mod Call: Armand will use a Poke Ball to catch Vulpix, who is currently poisoned.)(Violet's level is now Level 7!)

Unlike earlier, not only the ball caught the small fox and shook three times, but it clicked shut, much to Armand's relief. He then picked up the ball and stroke his Pokemon's heads as he smiled at their success. Just then, he noticed that Josh already finished with his battle, which he approached him and nodded. "Uh... Right," Armand spoke up before he showed the ball to Josh. "Sorry, I found a bit of trouble during your battle and I captured one of those two rascals. Though I am a bit disappointed that I failed to catch that Rookidee."Realized that some of his Pokemon were exhausted from the fight, he pulled out several medicines from his bag and sprayed one to his Litwick. At first, he screeched in pain, but he cried in relief as the Potion's effects began to take effect. He also took out his Vulpix to tend her condition with an Antidote. Violet (Litwick) - Level 7 - 1 Energy Voyant (Absol) - Level 6 - 2 Energy Lutin (Snubbull) - Level 5 - 3 Energy Vulpix - Level 4 - 1 Energy
(Violet's energy is fully recovered and Vulpix's poison condition is cured) (Mod Call: Please remove one Potion and one Antidote from his inventory.)Josh Devlin [ WC: 142] [ PC: 10]

"I know how that is," Josh answered; while he wasn't one to pat someone on the shoulder, he was absolutely one to empathize. "They're probably common enough that if you really wanted one, I'm sure you could find one." It seemed Armand's new catch, an adorable-looking Vulpix, wasn't particularly pain-tolerant, letting out a loud scream as the medicine began to take effect. Josh stopped Ixion until Armand was finished administering first aid. When he was done, he led the way westward. After not too much more travel, Cerise City was in sight. "Would you look at that? I'm pumped to hit up the Gym - what about you?" he asked his fellow trainer, needing to exercise a lot of self-control to avoid shooting ahead of him. Even the Ponyta let out a cry of excitement. "Of course, we should hit up the Pokémon Center first if it's not too busy. We could even drop our team off and check it out while we're waiting, if we have to."--- Armand Leclair{WC: 168} {PC: 9}

"I hope so, too." If what Josh said was true, he has a feeling that he might meet another one of those Rookidee soon. "That Pokemon looks interesting, so I doubt this isn't going to be the last time I'll meet it again."
After giving his Pokemon first aid, he resumed riding on Voyant as they continued their travels. Eventually, they saw the buildings that might belong to their intended destination. "I agreed. Though I might be a little late. I need to drop by my workplace to grab my salary from my first job after dropping off most of my team. How about we'll see each other outside of the city's Gym yet?"
Regardless of his answer, he decided to head into Cerise City, hoping he might finish his first job immediately so he could check the gym and do some groceries. It was a long day and he needed a much-needed rest.
