looking for a buddy [mod]

[frantik]

Dan walked into the Shupert city forest for his first time, the multitude of trees and bushes is almost overwhelming, but a few paths have been made out for trainers and people who just like taking walks. Today, with Stan, Dan was going to find another Pokemon to accompany him at the academy, along with stan, who also liked the idea of another Pokemon joining the team.

<Come on slowpoke, hurry up i want to meet my new friend!!!> Stan complained at the thought of waiting any longer. His little feet ached from all the walking his head was still throbbing from when a spear decided to drop a bunch of rocks on his head. Of course the pain had subsided because of Dan's expertise with potions and healing and stuff that Stan couldn't bother learning about.

"Yeah well, it might help a little bit if you helped me look!!! i thought teddiursa where supposed to like the forest, the honey on the the trees, the forest. Isn't that typically what they do?" Dan said getting a little bit annoyed at the teddiursas complaints. Maybe he should leave a box for him to put them in, like in some of the offices or something. "Well, if you're really that tired do you want to hop on my head and take a rest?" Dan said offering to fix the problem instead of worsening it.

<Yeah i do!!! thanks, if you couldn't tell my feet where aching>]/b] Stan said thankfully hoping upon his trainers head to help with the search. Peering over bushes Stan began to like the trainer, not in that cruel humor way. But in the caring way that most people and Pokemon get along with. "All right Stan let's go !" Dan said marching off deeper and deeper down the forest trails.

A Cottonee was peacefully riding the breeze through the forest. He was enjoying the nice, sunny day. Sometimes he came across trainers, but he was usually gone with the wind before they realized his existence. Sometimes he enjoyed playing pranks on them. Usually, though, he was content with minding his own business and floating along. Right now, he could see a trainer up ahead with a Teddiursa on his head. He found this a strange sight. He tried to change directions since he was heading right towards them, but the wind suddenly picked up, causing him to tumble out of control. <Look out!> he cried as he headed straight for the Teddiursa and the trainer's head.

[frantik]

"Whoa cool a cottnee!!" Dan said as the Pokemon harmlessly bumped into him and then fell to the ground. Well, that wasn't exactly his first choice but it would do. "So, do you want to join us or battle or run away or what ? i'm new to to this stuff" Dan asked it curious on it's thoughts.

Mean while Stan jumped down from Dan's and walked over to great the cottonee. <hi there !> Stan said looking at the cottnee with great interest. The thing is so weird, a ball of cotton with leaves on it. although that did make it pretty cool. Maybe they could be friends !

[Principal Sash]

The Cottonee was slightly disoriented from falling to the ground, but he new he would be fine. He looked up at the trainer in confusion. He had a choice? Most trainers made it clear what their intentions were with him, which was usually to try to catch him. Clearly, there was no threat here, so he did not feel the need to immediately take off like he normally would. The Pokemon turned to the Teddisursa and offered him a timid smile. <Hello. What are you doing out here?> The Cottonee was not sure if he wanted to battle; he still had to determine his mood. He would take to the Teddisursa first to see what exactly was going on.

[frantik]

Stan smiled and said <me and my slowpoke over there are looking for a new partner pokemon to accompany us at the academy, it gets lonely at times... Say do you wanna join us > Stan cocked his head to the right and put his paw in his mouth to look cute and maybe persuade the cottonee I to joining them.

Surprised at the cottnees reaction Dan scratched his head in confusion. "Well, that's odd you haven't run away yet" Dan said kneeling down to pet the cute little cottnee. "You'd look pretty cool as a whimsicot " he said aloud to himself.

[Principal Sash]

The Cottonee listened to Stan attentively. They were looking for someone to join them? It sounded like they wanted a friend. He could not be too quick to accept their invitation, though. He did not know what type of trainer this was. Their lifestyles might not fit. He had to know what he was getting into first! The Cottonee smiled when Dan pet him. That felt good. Perhaps these two were not so bad. <Why do you do all day?> he asked the Teddiursa. <Do you have plenty of time to relax and enjoy your surroundings?> He did like some physical activity, but he needed plenty of downtime to recharge. He wondered if they would make him battle, not that he was adverse to the idea. He just did not want to have to do it all the time.

[frantik]

<Well yeah, you can relax inside the pokeball, or while your sitting on slowpokes head in the middle of class. Plus afterwords we can have fun and play tag or something In the dorms with the other pokemon ! It's really fun> Stan said hoping it was enough to persuade the little cottnee into joining them, or at least battling each other.

[Principal Sash]

The Cottonee considered the offer carefully. It did not sound too bad to him. Still, he had a feeling that accepting would make it too easy for them. Weren't they supposed to prove themselves to him or something? That's what he had seen other Pokemon do. Besides, a battle would help him make up his mind. <Shouldn't we battle first?> he asked Stan. <If you beat me, I'll go with you.> A battle would also tell him what kind of trainer this was. If he did not like it, he could always ride away with the wind.

[frantik]

<All right ! that sounds like fun!!> Stan replied eagerly for his first ever pokemon battle. He walked over to Dan excitedly tugging on his shirt and saying <Hey Slowpoke ! Cottnee want's to battle !!> Dan stared at the cottnee then nodded with excitement in his eyes. "Let's do this !!!" Dan shouted to the world so loud the teachers at the academy could probably hear him.

[Principal Sash]

The Cottonee wondered if he had made the right decision in initiating a battle. Oh well. It was too late to back down now. He sized up the Teddiursa, trying to figure out the best strategy. He usually relied more on defense than offense. <You can go first,> he said. He would know better which attack to use once he knew how his opponent fought.

"Okay, what move to choose, hmmm" Dan contemplated for a little bit, then decided that he would start out strong with a scratch attack. "Ok stan! use scratch!!" Dan ordered his pokemon. Stan nodded contently extending the claws from his "this is pretty fun" Dan thought aloud, even though that the battle had just started and things hadn't gotten intense yet.

[Principal Sash]

The Cottonee tried t hop up onto the wind in order to dodge the attack, but the breeze had died down. He winced when he was scratched. <Ow,> he mumbled. It was time to get ready for his own attack. He continued to sit there and used Growth. His body began to grow in size, increasing his attack power and speed.

[frantik]

Hmm, growth. "I think that increases attack and defence right ? or is it speed?" He thought. But realizing it was time for him to make a move for Stan, "Ok then Stan, use Leer !" Dan called out to Stan. <Ok!!!" Stan nodded, putting his foot down, then giving him the scariest leer Stan had ever done, lower the wild cottnee's defense power.

[Principal Sash]

The Leer attack frightened the Cottonee. He stayed whee he was, though. Once he was in a battle, he did not give up because it would make him look week. He let out a breath of relief when nothing else came his way. Now it was time for him to make his move. He stood still and began to use Absorb. Something that was glowing emerged from him and moved towards Stan in order to drain his health.

[frantik]

"Whoa absorb, that's so cool!" Dan said impressed with the move, in-fact he was probably impressed with everything about the little cottnee's strength. The cottnee moved towards Stan, and sapped his strength up, but he didn't look too bad. "Ok then Stan, use scratch again!!!" Dan called out to him. Stan nodded, running towards cottnee again, extending his claws, jumping up, and then scratched the cottnee fiercely, and his moves power was decreased with it's defenses lowered a little bit.
