First topic message reminder :

As Mysterion, Viper, & Stary got off the boat from the beach at Amethius Island, he knew that before he wouid go fight the first gym he would have to get another pokemon to help him out. He turned to Viper and Stary saying, "Ok lets go find us another friend to help us out." They wondered the meadow for a few hours and was unable to find any pokemon, so he decided they would camp out, but as he was sleeping, he was awoken by a brush in the bushes of something mysteries.

Mysterion knew that this was his opening. He turned to were Stary was and saw no hole close by, so he determined Growlithe would dig a hole up close by and launch it's ember from there. This Mysterion knew would actually benefit him. He stared at Stary and said, "Ok Stary use your Water Gun to douse out the Ember, but use it while your are spinning so that it sprays in a whole circular motion." He knew Growlithe would take serious damage from this when it hit it's target.

While flames shot from the growlithe's mouth it was also running closert to the staryu, building up flames. However, as the water shot forth, the growlithe had no choice but to act on instinct. It jumped several feet into the air, fire still coming out of its canine jaws, stopping not long after. The jump was not completely straight though. On instinct, the growlithe couldn't control which direction it would go, and so it flew close to the staryu, almost touching the jet of water, but not really.

Its trainer, Ralph saw this as a great opportunity, and with stars in his eyes, declared "use bite attack!" The trainer pointed his index finger forward, holding his other arm back in a fist as though making a victory pose. On the inside, he was smiling.

Mysterion knew that Ralph's overconfidence would be his outdoing. He told Stary, "Ok take the bite attack head on." Stary took it without flinching. Mysterion than focused on a rock and saw a great opening. He than said, "Now Stary fire your water gun attack at Growltihe." He knew Growlithe would use dig so than he said in Pokemon language, "Once Growlithe digs use water gun on the rock so that it rebounds on Growlithe." Mysterion was certain Stary was near it's limit, so this attack would have to land.

"Hold it a bit longer! Bite harder if it hits you- it makes it hurt less!" Ralph cried to his pokemon. While the Staryu was attacking, Ralph's growlithe continued its bite attack. The more the staryu hits, the harder growlithe would bite, until a rocky chunk falls off- or whatever a staryu is supposed to be made of.

Ralph continued to bite his fingers, watching as his opponent said something he couldn't quite understand. Something tells him that it's mary sueish, but he'll let it slide- for now.

With the chunk having fallen off and Stary free from Growlithe's clutches, Mysterion knew this would be his final attempt before Stary fainted, so he yelled out, "Now fire your Water Gun at the chunk to launch it into Growlithe than fire another Water Gun attack at the startled Growlithe." He anticipated that something again would cause his plans to fail to this trainer who couldn't even control his Growlithe which made Mysterion disgusted.
