Snowy Mission: Dragon Entourage

[Angel]

Watching them in the hidden snow pile nearby, was a Pokemon. He blended in and then ignored them - they were not worth his time but he rolled out after accidently tripping. Honestly the world was against this Delibird.

[Firo]

Nat stared at the pokemon a little confused at first as the red bird fell out of hiding and stared at it curiously. Nat approached the pokemon and poked it twice with interest sparkling in its eyes as he poked the holiday themed pokemon. "Are you okay? Do you need any help...at all?" Nat ask the pokemon sounding a littl excited instead of worried like he should but, it was a Delibird that Nat had only heard of. It was a rather interesting pokemon especially the bag it carried, NAt had always wanted to know what was in there and as his excitement peaked he felt a nudge in his pocket only to see his mischiveous Dratini pop out. he sighed as the pokemon looked about for something to do and looked at the delibird with an evil grin.

[Angel]

Delibird, groaned as he landed face first in the snow - his body splayed across it. he stood himself up and looked at the trainer. Oh, great now it knew he was here. Then something rumbled in the boy's pocket adn a head of a Dratini popped out - knwoing tha his evil grin wasn't a good isgn adn that now he had been disocvered he would have to fight - he reached a feathery hand inside his little bag. Innocently he rumbeld around inside it and the pulled out a neatly wrapped box with colourful paper. A present! He kindly held it out toward the boy and his Dratini - easing it closer and closer. The Delibird threw it at the Dratini and it erupted in a flahs of lights as it hit the Pokemon - this attack was known as present - it didn't casue much damage but it was a surprise for all to see. Maybe now they would leave him alone and let him be in peace.

[Firo]

Dratini jumped back as the attack collided into it and did nothing but scare it slightly while Nat on the other hand flew backwards and slid in the snow. Nat's gi was covered in snow and with a few pats he threw the snow off of him and looked at the bird with a semi happy gaze. At least it was another pokemon he could capture and it attacked with gifts the best way to get an easy hit, Lure em in and finish them off. Nat stood up prepared to give commands to his Dratini but it was already on the attack as it slid towards the DElibird for a wrap followed by a thunder wave.

[Angel]

Well that didn't have the effect that delibird had wanted. In fact it was quite the opposite! The Dratini slithered toward him with an evil grin on his face and curled itself around Delibird's feathery body. As the grip tightened, Delibird squirmed and stared at the bag that was on the floor - the sudden surprise attack from the Dratini had made Delibird drop his bag so he couldn't use Present, the only move his kind could really know. He didn't want to reveal one of his egg moves because then this boy and Pokemon wouldn't leave him alone. He thought about it but then came to decision. Now that the Dratini was wrapped around him it was already a battle and nothing Delibird would say or do would change that fact. His egg moves had kept him alive and well as these years as a Delibird only learn Present - butthanks to his parents he had 2 things to really fight back with. In this circumstance, Delibird being wrapped up that is, there was only one attack to use. He stared up into the Dratini's face and said,
"You want a fight? Well you've got one."
And after he spouted those words he opened his mouth in front of the Dratini's face and a rainbow coloured beam erupted from it - it hit the Dratini in the face as then he would probably let go. After all this was an aurora beam.

[Firo]

Dratini didn't see that coming and as the blast collided with it, it coldn't help but fall backwards in pain being an ice attack it was super effective. Dratini smiled somewhat evilly as it's grip was loosened but it was a determined pokemon and refsed to let go. "You're gonna be sorry you did that!" Dratini exclaimed as it wrapped the pokemon harder and launched a close range thunder wave. Offensively Dratini wasn't the best at the moment but as tie past it was sure to become a great battler especially since it was doing this withot a word from Nat.

Still on the grond Nat was jst watching the battle qietly smiling and cheering when something good happened. When Dratini was hit by Aurora Beam Nat paniced a little but the pokemon did fight it off though it probably couldn't take any more than that the pokemon refsed to give in. "Dratini just earned a permenant place on my team." Nat stated quietly as he began to watch the battle with a bigger smile.

[Angel]

Delibird winced as the contionous after affect of the wrap attack dug into his feathery body. He felt the surge of eletrical energy flow through him and he tensed up. It continued to chareg through his body adn parts of his feathery self went static - he attempted to open his mouth for another Aurora Beam attack but his paralaysis kicked in and his body tensed as he felt the pain of the electrical attack. He couldn't move this turn....

[Firo]

Nat smiled as the delibird was paralyzed and just as he was about to call out for an attack he remember Dratini had leer. "Dratini twist!" the small dragon pokemon simply looked at Nat and wasn't planning on listening but seeing the look in his eyes he must've had a plan. The small dragon pokemon twisted itself as much as it could "Now leer and spin out!" Using leer to lower Delibird's defense dratini being to unwind and in the process began to release delibird and adding it's own twist lashed its tail out to throw the bird spinning towards a tree.

[Angel]

Delibird stared into the dragon's confident eyes and felt his defence be sapped from him and then he was brutally thrown toward a tree. He spun adn hit the tree hard - snow scatteering from the branches and surrounding him. Knowing that he wouldn't have much more time to attack before Dratini came after him agian, Delibird pushed himself off for aother attack. Moving quickly for a bird with stubby legs he ran toward Dratini with a Quick Attack.

[Firo]

"A Quick Attack eh?" Nat thought as the pokemon got closer and closer to him, "Dratini, Leer one more time, then lie flat in the snow!" Dratini saw hw well hs trainer's plan had worked out before, Maybe he could pull off another excellent move. Dratini leered at the pokemon as it drew closer and then quickly dropped to the ground. Pokemon battles weren't necessarily about the attacks used, but about how well a pokemon itself was utilized. Not as a tool but as a companion, as time went on learning a pokemon's strengths and weaknesses were important and his plan would put Dratini's long skinny body to use. The pokemon neared and as it did Nat prepared his plan. "Dratini lift part of your body off the ground, and aim to trip it, follow up with another wrap n' toss!" He decided to name the move as he Watched Dratini attempt to put it into play.

[Angel]

Delibird ran in a zig zag pattern toward the Dratini and unfortunately caught eye contact with it, he felt his defense lower - but the attack was still his to land and so eh kept going. When he reached the slithering Pokemon he was startled by the fact that the trainer had told it to lie in the snow. Confused and going at tremendous speed, Delibird didn't really have much time to react and as he ran he tripped over the dragon in the snow, tumbling in a white powerdy cloud toward another tree. He hit the tree hard and his head and body were aching as he scowled. Though incredubly exhausted and hurt, Delibird was still able to fight and took joy, in what little there was of it, that he had at least hurt the Dratini by stepping rather hard on its body before slipping.

The dragon soon after being stepped on slithered toward the bird and coiled around its feathery body once more. Delobird winced in its grip and struggled to make a move. The Dratini then threw the ice and normal type high into the air, tossing it like his trainer had said. Delibird knew it was his turn to counterattack but the previous Thunder Wave he had encountered took its effect and he couldn't attack this turn either.

[Firo]

Nat was becoming a little over confident as each of his tactics were working and do some damage, The delilbird was still feeling the effects of the thunder wave, but at some point it would attack. Nat's plan was to ensure when it did there was space between them and that meant throwing it around till it fainted. color=Navy]"Alright, Dratini go for it's leg again and drag it. Get close to a tree and toss it with all your strength!"[/color] The Dratini was kind of happy at this point, though it did take a big hit it was able to make up for it[ by listening to Nat, but if things got any better it would go about it's own business and not care about Nat's orders. Though It was winning the battle it refused to slow down or give in, because there would be no fun in doing so. Charging full speed at the Delibird Dratini prepared to put Nat's plan into action.

[Birdybot]

Delibird saw what Dratini intended to do. That gleam in his eye... Delibird flapped his wings madly. He was an inch off the ground... two inches... he felt a tail wrap around his tail, dragging him down. Oh, no. There were no trees about, but there was a rock. Delibird found himself being flung through the air. He thought he was going to hit said rock. Any second now...

Smooosh. Delibird landed painfully, but thankfully it was in soft, squishy smooshy snow rather than the jagged rock. The Pokémon laughed thankfully, and darted again at Dratini; Quick Attack again, looking odd how fast the bird was moving.
