Jace steps off the train once again. Luckily he managed to board right before it left Hayden City so he only wasted 20 minutes. He ventures off to find a rampaging Nidoking for which a bounty was posted for. Will he and his pokemon alone be enough?
You have not read up on this town since it was branched from the road to Aqua Delifer City, but a brochure tells you that Woodpine Village is a small agricultural settlement where everyone is with and for the farm labor life. As you walk around you see multiple storefronts that are closed at this early time of day. The atmosphere is almost dreary as you walk with sodden steps. Someone calls out to you, an old man who fights the dim aesthetic of the town waves frantically to you.

Well Jace had just about zero leads, so this lone stranger was his best chance at finding the Nidoking. "Hey, what's up?" Jace thought about introducing himself as a trainer her to catch the Nidoking but it was very likely that is why the man was frantically waving at him.

"Take a wrong turn there, Sonny?" The old man jests. "You're definitely here for the Nidoking yes? He's been the fuss of the town. We can't get any work done because he's laying the smackdown over the most fertile part of our land!" He says as he pounds his shakey hand on his knee.
"So, you think you can finish the job?"

"Yeah, I can finish the job. I take it I won't be able to miss him?" Jace didn't want to dawdle here. They had to get going, but Jace thought this was a worthwhile detour.

"Heavens no... Unless he sees you first. He's just down the road into the fields." The geezer points in the distance. "Another, younger lad was here almost a week ago. He 'called dibs' after fighting it a bit, but he never showed up."

"Unless he sees me first? Will the Nidoking run?" Jace was skeptical, but he really did not want to end up on a wild goose chase. He also took a glance down the road to see if he could spot any sign of it passing through.

"Nidoking has not a drip of cowardice. When he sees you, the next time you'll open your eyes is at the village doctor." He says as he tries to summarize Nidoking's stealth and strength. "And that'll be in... A couple days."

"Awesome. Thanks for the help," Jace was debating whether or not to use Ace or Kingdra. He was worried that Kingdra would be overkill. Now that Jace knew what he was up against he changed his mind. Kingdra was the Pokemon for the job.

Using Ace's keen sence of small, Jace is led admits the tall stalks. He guesses this where the farmers were unable to cultivate their crops and everything grew out of hand because of Nidoking. Ace's fur stands on end and begins hissing. Something is close, whether it's from smaller pokemon or birds, stalks are snapping all around you.
Roll perception to spot where the sounds are heaviest. or Roll athletics to RUN!

A purple tail pierces through the veil of tall grass with a speed that makes the air whistle. Cutting the unlucky blades caught in the crossfire, he aims for Jace and Ace.
Ace had just enough time to avoid the attack, but Jace ends up getting wrapped by the tail. The full body of Nidoking emerges before Ace in all his ire. He roars and squeezes the now coiled Jace who is held at the side. The twisting force is so immense that your body cannot refrain itself from yelling from the top of your lungs.
Take one injury
Nidoking shakes Jace enough to jolt him awake if he were knocked unconscious from that attack, all the while staring at the Eevee. A title defense match has been initiated by the reigning king, the challenger from the brown corner, Ace, has nine more rounds before his coach meets his journey's end.
Nidoking: 28

After making his initial dodge Ace spins around. Igniting in blue flames once again, Ace strikes the NIdoking with a barrage of pure blue energy. Instead of flames he let loose beams of force.
Jace thought about calling out, but it wasn't necessary. Ace knew what he needed to do and Jace needed to save his oxygen. Instead he tried to focus his telekinetic energy. This wasn't the first time he had been grappled today. Perhaps he was strong enough to escape the same way.

The hits make Nidoking lose consciousness for a split second. He tosses himself up and thrashes the ground. Running toward Ace he unleashes a flurry of strikes tipped with dangerous poison. But without technique and restraint it's trivial dodging for a trained Ace.

Instead of making a telekinetic assault, Jace changes his mind at the last moment. He reaches for his belt with his telekinesis, tossing it into the Nidoking at point-blank range. Not confident in its effectiveness, Jace runs around Ace, putting the Eevee between him and the Great Ball.
When the Nidoking bursts out, Ace unleashes another blast of energy. Jace is going to have to restrain this thing with his powers if he is going to be able to catch it.

After facing Nidoking's retaliation, Ace becomes more defensive. He doesn't want to knock out the Nidoking, so instead he uses Double-Team. At the same time, Jace Lifts the Nidoking using his Telekinesis. Hopefully the status will be enough to finally capture the Pokemon once and for all.

Nidoking doesn't like this anymore. This is the second time someone has pushed him to the brink of defeat like this. And this one doesn't look like he's backing down. He contorts his body to deliver a devastating Megahorn to Ace.

Nidoking erupts out of the Pokeball. You reach around your bag for more pokeballs, but no more are to be thrown...
The pokemon steps forward in an attempt to grab one of you again. Upon hearing the dragging of his feet, the struggles of his breathing, and the dulled anger, you realize that another attack might faint Nidoking. You can certainly rule in the possibility of the village having pokeballs.

"Enough," Jace says, holding out his hand. "There are two ways this can go: either you come with me in a Pokeball and we leave here as equals, or Ace here will hit you with a fully charged Trump Card and you get dragged out." This thing was not getting into a Pokeball unwillingly, that much seemed apparent. Though Jace could bowl over the Poison-type with a Psychic at this point, he would much rather leave here with the Nidoking in a Pokeball. Hopefully the thought of being dragged through town unconscious would be enough to keep the prideful creature from fighting any further.

In that short time Nidoking regains enough of his senses to stop and patiently listen to Jace's ultimatum. It looks like the pokemon has accepted the trainer for who he is, but decides to go out his way!
Nidoking looks to Ace, makes a primal stance, and delivers a meaty blow to the Eevee. Nidoking gives out jostling battlecry.

What Ace's attack, Nidoking topples over like a sack of potatoes. Even though he look a lot of damage, Jace notes on how peaceful he looks sleeping. Jace checks his pokedex and figures out Nidoking averages around 137lbs. Now how to drag him into town...
His hour timit continues

Stubborn. This one would prove to be a challenge. Still, it they were victorious. The town will be much safer now. Lifting the beast with his telekinesis was strenuous, but he managed. Compared to those boulders this was nothing.
"Let's head back," Jace gestures for Ace to follow. Time to catch up with the others.
