The First Mission (Shades, Streak, Mod)

[shades]

Electabuzz stood in anger, his oppentson the brink of leaving. Is collection would be ruined. In fact, he realized the three pokemon were just left of the tree where he kept his collection. If this storm stooppped, they would surley see the fire and moon stones glinting in the sun. He would not them ruin him. A full stone collection was of high value.

<Not so fast. Give me the stone now.>

He used swift again, hoping to show them a preview of what was to come.

Eevee was just running away with her team when she felt sharp points rake the back her of spine and smash into her head. She flipped forward, letting go of the stone, vision slipping in and out of focus. She hit the ground with a hard thud. Her whole body hurt. That blow had been really damaging. She wondered how much HP she had left, especially after the first hit she took. And if it was too little, she'd be finished in seconds.. She also wondered that if she fainted if they would be forced to return to the guild. Well, she'd go until the end.

She got shakily to her feet and faced the oncoming Electabuzz. Tactics, this time, not attack. First, if she was going to fight, she'd need more health. She closed her eyes and concentrated. She looked to the sky, the glowing hot sun, and saw, even if it seemed impossible, a shooting star. A hot streak ran through her body. Not unpleasant, but giving her strength and bringing her new hope.

She turned back to her enemy, restored and ready to battle.

Pikachu felt swift hit, and took damage from it right along with taking damage from this stupid snad storm. She saw electabuzz standing, try to intimidate him. She really wished her atacks did damage to him. But htey didnt. They only hurt her friends. So she made her self more useful. Eevee had lost the water stone, so she turned to look for it on the ground.

It wasn't long before Pikachu foundit, but also to realize that almost no time ata ll went by. She held it in hher mouth, and sat down uselessly next to Eevee. She quickly glanced at her grey ribbon tied like a bandage. She sighed at it. If only she were more usefull. She wished she could Evolve.

Aron felt the subtle sting of Electabuzz's most recent assault. In his staggering blindness, he felt his body collide into some other entity, then feeling disruptions in the ground, subtle vibrations that none of the others could notice. Something shiny...was it..a what was it called? Aron had never been too bright, and today was no exception. He'd have to ask his friends later. For now, his mind shifted to combat. Ignoring the pain stemming from the collapsed hide in his armor, he composed himself for a moment before charging recklessly at what he thought to be Electabuzz.

[shades]

The Electabuzz shouted in frustration. He saw Eevee before him now, healed. The Pikachu had picked up the water stone. He was getting used to the sand storm now, and they were all so close to one another. It was time to end this. Time to get back what he worked so hard earn. That water stone.

But before he could attack, a small bosy lurched into him. The stupid Aron again! BY this point electabuzz realized these pokemon were some kind of law men. Coming for the stone he'd taken. Well if its a fight they wanted, it would be a fight they'd get. However, it only now occurred to electabuzz he wasn't invincible. No, in fact, he'd grown very weak. He was still going to go down fighting!

He turned ran then towards Pikachu, the one who had the stone, and launched a low kick, aiming to do some major damage.

[Sam]

Like Electabuzz, Eevee could see through the Sandstorm better, though it still battered at her fur. Squinting, she attempted to pinpoint the location of the rest of her team, and her opponent. The first thing she found was Aron, running at another form, a larger, bulkier form that could only be Electabuzz. She could also see Pikachu, with the Water Stone wedged in her teeth. She could see the glint of blue through the raging sand. Now that she could properly see the stone, a strange sort of emotion came over her.

The emotion was unlike any emotion she had ever felt. She wasn't even sure if it was really an emotion, but more of a feeling. A want. A need. A need for the stone that was in Pikachu's possession, the stone that they were working so hard to protect and bring back to their client. She felt a sort of pull towards the stone. It was welcoming. It promised power, respect, and a new life. She could evolve, if she wanted, by using that stone. Right now, she could evolve, and strike down her opponent.

The pull began to take hold when she saw Electabuzz running towards Pikachu, preparing a move, it wasn't clear enough to quite see which move it was. The force that had filled her so passionately seconds ago was broken and a sense of work came back over Eevee. Without hesitating, she broke into a Quick Attack, trying to stop the enemy from attacking her comrade.

[shades]

Everything happened so fast. So quick, as she sat moping, completely useless. She wasn't paying attention and certainly wasn't able to see well. And she also didn't expect to be attacked. She wasn't doing much in the fight. Non the less, she saw Electabuzz dart towards her, and Eevee as well. All she knew from there was two things: Low kick hit, and the stone was gone!

She felt the attack send her back wards, and she stood rather angrily, staring down her opponent. She was egging him now, angry. He would not hit again. Plus, she could distract him from attacking her friends. She used the only attack she could, double team. Images of herself were everywhere, popping up and around her opponent. She then saw Eevee again, still close by.

<The stones gone!> She shouted frantically to her comrade. <I lost it!>

[Wolfe]

Aron groaned. Just the way the world worked, to ensure he took almost no part in it. Well, we wasn't going to sit on his ass and let others do all the work for him. He needed to be great . . to possess his own identity, and control his destiny. Just hearing the cry from
Pikachu that the team had recently lost its quarry - the water stone. Although he knew only he himself could find it in the swirling chaos of battle made no worse by the sandstorm, it wasn't nearly enough to satiate his sense of pride. No, he had to accomplish something on a bigger scale.

So of course, the only logical course of action (to Aron at least) was to charge forth at Electabuzz and smash him with his head.

[shades]

Electabuzz was down. He lost. He knew it when he saw two different pokemon charging at once, and was dazed by double team, so very confused. The two pokemon hit and the same time. he quickly stumbled foreward, going desperately to his collection, trying to protect it, only to reveal the other stones as he fainted, pulling away the leaves hiding them.

[Sam]

As their opponent finally went down and the haze of battle ended, the Sandstorm finally died away, leaving in its wake a gritty coat of dust over every blade of grass. Eevee stepped away from the motionless body of Electabuzz, sprawled over a few leaves. Underneath these leaves was an entire collection of evolutionary stones.

The pull began to take hold again, stronger this time from the sheer amount of chances for evolution. A dusk stone, dawn stone, fire, electric, grass, and moon. It was just wonderful to behold and she barely noticed that she was moving forward until her foot lightly touched the edge of a small item.

She looked down in surprise as a jolt of energy raced from her paw all across her body. She stepped back and saw the Water Stone. She turned to Aron, who was the closest and called, "Can you take the Water Stone? I might use it on accident." Then returned to admiring the stones. If only she could use just one...but they were probably all stolen. If that was the case, then there was no way she could hold one in her mouth just so she could evolve.

She then turned to Pikachu and asked, "What should we do with all of these?"
