Mayu purses her lips in annoyance. Third time's the charm?

When the third ball fails to contain the beast, Mayu's Pokemon finish them off. A blue text box appears, stating that you won. Obviously. It also claims your Pokemon gained "XP"...whatever the hell that is.

Victory!

Gain 90 Poke XP.

These boxes are much too absurd for Mayu to deign to interact with. She backtracks a little and tries the other fork of the tunnel.

Point 1: tMTUquLJ1d8

Soon enough she can see light. Thank goodness. Now, if she hasn't gotten too turned around, Cerulean City should be that way...

At some point on Mayu's trek back to Cerulean City, she spies a Zangoose. Unlike in the dungeon, it isn't automatically hostile, but it's still a Zangoose. They're known to be somewhat aggressive.

Mayu isn't looking for aggressive right now; she gives the Zangoose a wide berth as she heads past it.

Taking up position in the Trainer Box on one side of the arena, Mayu mentally prepares herself for what Gym Trainer Mary has to offer. Mary sends out a Garbodor first, followed by a Scolipede. The two prepare themselves.

Mayu elects to open with Sigma and Omicron, to test what Mary has in store for Poison's typical weaknesses.

Scolipede zips across the battlefield, getting behind Omicron before stomping its right-side legs down onto the ground. There is a flash from a red orb attached to a collar/belt of sorts on its upper thorax area, seeming to take some of the Pokemon's life force and inject it into the attack. A red wave sprawls out from the point where the large bug's feet struck, catching both Sigma and Omicron within its radius.

Both of Mayu's Pokemon are heavily battered by the shockwave, though they both recover from the shock a bit quicker than might be expected. Sigma retaliates against the bug by hurling cinders, circling around to make sure she isn't close enough to be caught in another such attack; Omicron merely turns around and aims a burst of psychic energy.

Scolipede throws a barrier up just in time for Sigma's Ember to crash into it. The psychic blast connects as the barrier comes down.

Scolipede used Protect! Speed Boost!

Garbodor first scattered some spikes that shone with venom across the ground between it and Sigma. It then scattered some regular spikes all around the Braixen. (Toxic Spikes in round 1, Spikes in round 2)

Sigma prances away from the first barrage of poisonous spikes, and throws another handful of flames at the Scolipede - it can't keep curling up behind a shield all the time! Mayu's Metang continues its assault, methodical as ever.

Sigma quickly finds herself surrounded by more mundane spikes after moving closer to Scolipede. Speaking of the bug...while the flames missed by a fair margin, Omicron's psychic attacks continue hounding it unabated. So it decides it's time to retreat. It uses Baton Pass! Appearing elsewhere on the field is a Venomoth, which hides behind the Garbodor.

Sigma holds herself very still, and throws fire at the new bug. Yes, she knows how to do other things, she just likes fire, okay? Omicron hovers over towards the garbage Pokemon and starts psychically blasting it down.

Venomoth easily avoids the flames as Garbodor inflates its body to block attacks for Venomoth! Garbodor used Inflatable capability! It now counts as Blocking Terrain! Attacks can no longer target through it, but it's easier to hit now. (-1 evasion)

~~New Round~~

Venomoth positions itself directly behind Garbodor before creating a Substitute!

Now unable to see through to the bug, Sigma finally turns her attention to the Garbodor, switching to psychic attacks since it doesn't look particularly flammable. Omicron keeps doing what it's doing.

A little frustrated by now - these are very passive enemies - Sigma switches back to fire for a moment. Omicron, naturally, does not.

Garbodor is trapped in a vortex of fire. It's naturally not particularly pleased about this turn of events. It sprays some acid at the Braixen to weaken it a bit.

Sigma braces herself and endures the first spray of poison, but the second is too much. Mayu sends out Epsilon in her stead; the Octillery takes stock of his enemies and zeroes in on the Venomoth('s substitute).

Garbodor manages to withstand the psychic assault and scatters some more Toxic Spikes around Octillery's position. Including stacking two sets right atop it!

Venomoth's Substitute breaks, unfortunately for it. Nevertheless, it merely flits around in place to increase its power further.

Hi there! I'm Seya, a 24 y.o. editor in Atlantic Canada. I enjoy writing, reading, webcomics, art, worldbuilding, and video games (I can talk for ages about SotC and Monster Hunter...). Although I'm relatively new to playing Pokémon Tabletop via forum, I've been putting together sites like this for a long time, and I'm really excited to work with you all to create an awesome environment for Pokémon roleplay. While my job here is primarily to keep the site running smoothly, I'm always happy to chat, offer advice, and deal with any problems you run across. Let me know if I can be of any help. Inbox is always open! Cheers! xx :)

Hello! I'm Sly, the East Coast mod representative! I'm a 22 year old tax accountant who is exactly as exciting as that sounds, I'm sure. PTU is my major hobby, I run several games (of which the Geode games are my pet project), and I read a disgusting amount of fanfiction. I've been a member of the community for about a year, consider myself more GM material than player material, and am dedicated to helping make your time here enjoyable! If there's ever anything you need, don't be afraid to send me an owl! (Or a PM, I guess, if that works better for you.)
