(Side note-I was trying to find a forest place to make Rapp from, and now you give me one. This will be hilarious.)

Entry 1: Having Water means you have to fight.
Background: Rapp and Mossy were excited to have finally reached the end of their journey. Their odd pairing made for quite the tale to be heard by anyone who wished to partake. As Rapp left the woman's side and headed for the Pokemon center, he was disheartened to learn that his assistance would not be needed, and that the major threat to the area was gone. Was his journey all for naught-or was his calling yet to be realized...
-5 days later-
A hefty yawn escape the hidden body within that mass of circuitous vines, as he woke up from a nap. Scratching what would be his back, the stout bush would waddle over toward where his master was, and eagerly try to see what he was up to. Vines wrapped around the base of the chair, and he pulled with some force, jolting the chair backwards just enough so the boy would turn to note his presence.
"Oh. Hey Mossy! Had a good rest?"
The Tangela nodded, eyes denoting his pleasure in being able to rest his weary feet. Rapp reached down and patted his head, before scooping him up and setting him on the table. Waiting for Mossy was a nice aroma-white tea leaves stewing in water! Rapp stifled a giggle as the Tangela sat himself down and gingerly snaked a vine into the handle of the cup. Bringing the cup to his face, Mossy quietly drank his tea with glee.
"Well Mossy. It seems we came a bit too late. Guess we can't help out after all. Well, we sure did have a heck of a trip." Eyes darted over to the grasser, and Rapp shook head. Mossy was way too into his tea right now There was no stopping him once he got started.
"Well, I'm going to go check what's up outside. There's been talk of travel..." Nope. Mossy was still sitting on the table, rocking back and forth with his tea. Rapp sighed, before opening the flap-and instinctively shielding his eyes from the lights. He had managed to find refuge here in a tent along with another boy, who seemed to be gone almost as fast as he was here. It mattered not, Rapp was sure that he had his own agenda.
Taking an expansive view, Rapp noted that the demeanor of this area seemed a bit more jovial. People were smiling. Even injured folks seemed at ease with the current situation right now. There were a multitude of Pokemon here as well. Some were running and playing with others, and others were working with humans to help rebuild and stock trucks. All of a sudden, a Pidgey flew down and fluttered in Rapp's face. Instead of flinching, Rapp merely smiled and held out an arm. The Pidgey landed and began to chirp happily.
"Oh. I see she's found a new perch!" The voice came from over his right shoulder. Turning to spy the owner, Rapp would be welcomed with that guard that assisted him on his arrival here. "I guess she has, is she yours?" he asked. "Oh no. She's just been flying around-I guess that's her way of saying hello. How are you though? You were asleep for quite a while."
"Oh we're fine. Thanks for your help earlier this..week? But, what's going on. People seem eager to...leave." Rapp asked, as Mossjito walked out of the tent finally, teapot in one crux of vines, refilling his teacup.
"Oh. You may not have heard. The fighting in Sybyll is over for the time being. Now the Dragon Tamers decided to hold their Dragon Games Tournament. Its over in Avelorn. Here's a fly-oh!" As she went to hand the flyer to Rapp, a vine snaked up and snagged it. Both humans and Pidgey looked down to see Mossjito calmly unfurl the flyer with one vine, holding it up and reading it while sipping on his tea. Rapp rubbed his temple with his index and thumb, in a sign of unrestricted embarrassment.
"You'll have to excuse him. He needs his morning reading material and tea, or he'll be a tumbleweed all day." For that snark, Rapp received a light touch of a hot teapot. The female laughed, as the Pidgey flew away. "Well, you both have the information. I hope to see you there! Oh here! " She pulled out a pass for Rapp. "This will give you passage in one of our vehicles, and you can come back anytime!" She waved to Rapp and Mossy, smiling at the actions of the Tangela, before heading off to continue giving out passes.
"Well, what do you think Mossy?" Rapp stated, as he scrutinized the passes. No response. Rapp turned to look by his feet, and Mossy was staring in the teapot. Shaking it, Mossy made a slightly cross face and sighed. He turned and headed back in the tent, Rapp following. "Out of tea I suspect? It's alright. I think we ought to get moving, if we're going to go." Mossy nodded and set the teacup and teapot down.
The pair spent a few minutes grabbing up their personal belongings, and zipping them up in a bag. It wasn't much at all for Rapp, honestly just an extra shirt and some food. Mossy followed suit, not seeing anything of interest here.
The pair made their way out the tent and walked to the nearest truck. The driver , upon noting Rapp holding a pass, leaned his head out the window and offered him a ride. "You going to train with the Guild eh' boy?"
"I believe so. Though I haven't signed up..."
"Sign up? Ha, by being here, you're already with us! Greenhorn, I tell ya'!" he chortled as he started up his car. Rapp picked up his cohort and set him on his shoulder. "Bookbag mode, Mossy." Mossjito wrapped his vines around Rapp's shoulder blades to ensure he could rest on Rapp's back, and if Rapp needed to lean on a wall, his feet would be able to give Rapp support. Beneficial for them both.
Hopping on the back of the truck, there were benches filled with Guild trainers. Rapp sat down on the edge of a bench and smiled, receiving a few smiles and waves back from the people in the immediate area. The truck started and off it went heading toward Avelorn.
---
"Last stop! Everyone off! Thanks for riding with ol' Mack!"
Everyone cheered and piled off the truck, Rapp being one of the last to pile out. Once he hopped out and stretched, he could see why everyone was eager to get here. For one, the ground was alive! Grass and trees filled his visual range and two towers were where the mass of people were heading.
"Hey Mossy. Are we supposed to head toward those towers?" In response, a vine snaked over his shoulder, holding that flyer from before. Rapp took it from him, as he crouched down. The vines on his shoulders began to loosen, and soon enough Mossy rolled in front of Rapp, yawning again. Rapp smiled, and then scrutinized the flyer, quickly understanding what was happening here. Two towers, each with different rooms in them for the purposes of training. At this rate, he could get Mossy some much needed experience in battling.
Mossy took a moment to stick a vine in the earth. He took a deep breath, and seemed to know the lay of the land now. Not to mention that this dirt was full of life. Ingraining here would be great! That made him happy. Stretching his vines out, Mossy followed Rapp as they made their way to the East Tower.
Walking in, the sight of so many trainers eager to battle was a bit overwhelming. "Stay close Mossy." was the last words Rapp uttered as they headed toward the counter. This place was absolutely massive to the brown haired boy, but that didn't deter him from moving around the people moving back and forth. A flyer caught his attention, and Rapp stopped long enough to read it.
"Hey Mossy. There are different themes to the rooms in here. This tower has a Desert and a restaurant! Jackpot!" Mossy really approved of the restaurant, that meant beverages! He jumped up and down at the thought, but quickly regained his composure.
"Alright." Rapp quickly grabbed two bottles of water, and pocketed them with his pass. Mossy nodded in eagerness,and the pair walked up to the stairwell. Opening the door, the pair walked up to the first floor and stepped into the Desert realm.
---
(Finally, battle)
Mossy and Rapp looked around as they entered his room. It was expansive alright. There was already three other people in this room, and they looked tired. Unphazed, Rapp and Mossjito walked in, unsure what they would find here.
The sand was a new feeling to Mossjito. It broke part like dirt, but it didn't clump together. It flew everywhere...and it was hot. Not unbearable, but wow...this was an arid climate all right. He looked to Rapp, seeing that the boy was already starting to break out into a sweat. Well, it was a good thing he had two bottles of water of his own. Unscrewing the lid of one, Mossjito took a sip, and stretched up his bottle to Rapp.
"Wha? Whoa hey Mossy how did you take that bottle out of my poc--" Rapp looked and saw the two bottles still in his pocket, condensation on the outside of the bottles. Mossy smiled as Rapp looked back at him and shook his head. "You're gonna meet your match one day, Mr. Refined Pickpocket." Mossy smirked as Rapp took the bottle and guzzled a small amount.
A few drops of water hit the sand in front of them, and in that spot, the sand started to shift. Mossy took a step back, hitting the bottles against Rapp's leg. Rapp looked at Mossy, and then saw the shifting sands. "Ahh! Battle time!"
The enigmatic shape rose out of the ground about an inch or so, with two beady eyes and a bright pink nose. Aside from that, there was no other distinguishable features. The brown Pokemon sniffed at the air, and shuffled over to Rapp. Eyes glared at the bottle of water, and the Pokemon bopped in and out of the ground.
"Oh. I guess it wants water!" Rapp handed a bottle to Mossy, and Mossy reluctantly opened it. He handed it over..and then realized something. Where were this thing's hands? Were they still underground? How was it going to drunk from a bottle? Mossy pulled back the water, and the Diglett looked at him, confused. Mossy looked to Rapp, not understanding how it was going to drink...or did it want him to help him drink? He screwed the top back onto the bottle and held it in a set of vines on his back.
[Mossy lv11 vs Diglett lv8]
But before Mossy could get his point across to Rapp, the Diglett had scuttled over behind him! Burrowing out of the ground pretty fast, Diglett tried to bite the bottle free of Mossy's vines! The hit was so startling that Mossy jumped! Rapp and Mossy turned around to see the Diglett just staring at Mossy. Mossy was a bit perturbed that felt weird. And how did that Pokemon move that fast? Well that's no good. Mossy looked back at Rapp, and Rapp noted Diglett burrow back into the ground-and travel under Mossy.
"Ah Mossy! He's burrowing around you. Ingrain yourself."
Mossy nodded and shuffled a bit, so some of his lower vines could stab the ground. As they hooked into the loose earth, Mossy spied the Diglett repop out of the ground. The Diglett was determined to get this water. The Diglett leaned his head back, and then whipped forward. The hit was strong enough to ...Scratch Mossy. Mossy still held onto the bottle, and looked at the now annoying Diglett with stern eyes. This was HIS water! HE pai--well ok no he didn't PAY for it, but HE acquired it, and he wasn't sharing with a meany piece of poop-with-a-face!
"K, Absorb. That should really work."
Mossy rocked forward and began to glow. A thin halo covered the Diglett, as he scooted back a few inches. The Diglett felt his life suddenly be drained from him, as Mossy graciously accepted it, along with the amount coming from the ground. That hit actually hurt! So Diglett quickly rocked back and forth, forcing Sand to fly in Mossy's eyes. As Mossy coughed and tried to get the small crystals out of his face, Diglett burrowed behind Mossy, and tried to get at that bottle. Mossy wriggled in protest and tried to get away.
"Hey wait. Mossy. Body slam him from behind!"
Mossy smirked, realizing what Rapp meant. Diglett was so preoccupied with trying to get that bottle, that he didn't realize Mossy's vines were being pulled to their maximum, since they were ingrained. Another Scratch to Moss's back did it, and Mossy just flew backwards. Both Tangela and Diglett landed hard on the sandy grit, and Mossy bounced up, thanks to those vines. He felt pretty good still, but not Diglett. The ground type bent his body back up and Screeched, trying to instill fear into Mossy. But Mossy knew that Pokemon was about to drop.
"Go ahead Mossy. Get your health back up. Absorb."
Mossy did just that, enacting that strange grass aura that allowed him to siphon away the last of Diglett's health, and leave him relatively unscathed. Diglett groaned in pain, and Mossy took the time to unhook itself from the ground.
[Mossy grew to Lv12]
"Hrm, I think the little guy was just thirsty, Mossy." Mossy glared at Rapp, but waddled over to give the little one some water. He dropped a small amount in Diglett's mouth, and the Pokemon fidgited. One eye weakly opened, followed by the other. Diglett moaned and slid back into the ground...to Mossy's distrust. Not even a thank you?
Mossy took a hefty swig of the bottle now, as Rapp cracked open a second bottle. The cracking open of the second bottle however, brought another Diglett. And another. And another.Mossy began to back up as 5...no 7...no 9 Digletts converged on their location!
"Ummm, time to run Mossy!" Mossy agreed, and the pair made a break for it, followed by a slew of angry Digletts. The mole like Pokemon kept popping up, trying to impede the ground Rapp and Moss tried to run on. Rapp however, had one small advantage, and that was the fact he was taller than them. So he could see where they were burrowing as he ran. He scooped up Mossy, and sped up, hoping to get away from this Diglett hoard.
Other trainers in the room stood out of the way as Rapp blazed a trail of hot sand, Diglett's on his heels. Mossy realized that maybe water might save them right now, and with one vine chucked a bottle at the lead Diglett. He hit it dead on, and the water bottle burst open, giving the Diglett a nasty shock. The other Digletts stopped around their fearless leader, and tended to his cold shock, by covering part of him in sand. The rest went to drinking the luscious water, bopping up and down in their joy.
Mossy wasn't happy about losing a bottle that way, as Rapp found a large rock to climb upon. "Ok Moss. I think we'll be safe here. Jump on this rock so I can climb on." Mossjito agreed, and hopped out of Rapp's arm. He landed on the rock and walked up to the spire jutting from it, as Rapp took a step back. He aimed to get a running jump, until the "rock" shifted. Rapp saw sand moving from below it, and groaned. They caught up!
"...Oh no. Mossy, be careful!" But it was too late. The "rock" shifted again-but not in the manner Rapp thought. Digletts weren't sinking the rock-the rock was raising up! Mossy held onto the spire as it rose high into the sky. Once at a comfortable height, the Onix turned to look at Rapp. He could feel the foreign object on his head-and he wanted it off!
[Mossy lv12 vs Onix! lv15]
" Um...um...Mossy...Poisonpowder!" Mossy didn't give any confirmation, as Onix whipped his head around in one last "peaceful" attempt to get this Pokemon off his head. Mossy held on, and shook a bit, releasing a bunch of spores in the air. Onix groaned, and breathed them in. They instantly gave an adverse reaction to his body, and he now was in retaliation mode. So what's an Onix to do with a Tangela on you head? Slam your head into the wall! Onix barreled for the nearest wall, and Mossy knew what was coming. He hit the wall with considerable force and bounced off of the Onix's head. He fell all the way down into a sand dune, and disappeared in it. Onix turned around and looked in the dune to see where the little twerp was.
Rapp meanwhile, ran over to the dune and shouted. "Mossy! If you hear me, you gotta Absorb, NOW!"
Onix turned slightly, to stick his tail into the dune. With one mighty flick, the dune would be ripped apart, and Mossjito could be seen standing there, focusing his energy. It took a minute, but Onix's body would be slightly hued with that green force, and a large amount of health would be ripped away from him. Onix did not approve of this, and went to try a tactic Mossjito was familiar with. He wrapped Mossjito up in his tail, and began to bind him.
Mossjito didn't vocally show his displeasure, even as the water bottles began to crinkle audibly under the force. That's mainly because he was reaching for something in between Onix's section. Something was glinting. But the Bind was a little too much to ignore and Mossy let it be for the moment. Rapp looked on with worry, that Diglett sure did a number on Mossy's defensive capabilities. As Onix stared at the plant though, he felt his body glow once more. Onix 's grip loosened after only the third constriction, and Moss fell to the ground. Mossy however, hopped back up and shook off the sands. Rapp ran over, but Moss turned and threw one of the full bottles of water in Rapp's face. Rapp fell on his back from that unexpected it, and wiped the condensation off his face. Mossjito however, was angry. Onix groaned from the poison, but knew he could still beat this plant, as long as that thing didn't suck anymore health away. So he took a deep breath and Screeched. Sand flew in Moss's face from the surrounding area, but Moss stood his ground, Ingraining once more.
"G-Good job Mossy. Now you need to Absorb again, keep your health up!"
Mossy was already on it, channeling that aura of grassy energy around the very susceptible Onix. Onix reared his head back and went for a full on Headbutt now. Knowing this could be it, Moss hunkered down and pulled up as much health as it could from the ground as well as taking what it got from that Onix. But that Pokemon was not done, as his massive head slammed into Mossjito. Rapp winced as the collision threw up sand and grit en masse. When the dust settled, Trainers came over to help Rapp up, and to see the outcome. What they bore witness to shocked even Rapp.
Mossjito was still standing, his feet pressed on Onix's head! His back vines still stuck in the ground, he was forcing the massive beast's head down` Onix was struggling to raise his head, but there was a force coming from Tangela, his whole body was slamming down, combating Onix.
Rapp tore away from the other trainers and scampered over to within feet. "Mossy, its ok. Ungrain yourself and go upward. You can pull this off!" Mossy opened one strained eye, unsure if he heard that correctly. But -maybe Rapp was better than he originally thought. So, Moss let his vines relax, and Onix rushed his head up. Mossjito went flying, but as he flew, he understood what Rapp was talking about.
The other Trainers in the room watched as Rapp took off as fast as his feet would carry him. The Onix was hot on his tail, ready to slam that Tangela deep into the sands for all eternity, but there was that strange aura on him again. He groaned, and Rapp now was being chased by a collapsing Onix! The stone snake's momentum was so great that when Moss was able to zap away the last of that health-coupled with the poisoning-it make Onix a veritable Rock Slide! Rapp kept running though, knowing he could at least catch his buddy.
Mossjito successfully sucked away enough health to defeat the rock snake, but there was the problem of landing! With only seconds before crashing into the sands at a unfavorable speed, hands grabbed onto Moss, and were joined by a warm dark mass-and then a jolting stop. Moss took a moment to get his bearing, before he felt his body be raised up. There were odd sounds all around him, and he barely peered out from the darkness to see hands reaching close to him, but not touching him.
"Hey-hey are you alright?"
"Man did you see that Onix? It was huge!"
"Impressive! Didn't think the little green one could hang!"
Mossy poked his head over what he realized now was Rapp's body, and looked at the dirty sand filled mop top of his Trainer. Rapp just smiled and held Mossy up for the other trainers to see for a moment.
"Yeah, he's pretty darned cool, isn't he?" He laughed and brung Mossy to his chest, before hugging him and setting him back on the ground. Mossy beamed with excitement-that was the biggest thing he ever fought! Not only that, there was something...peculiar in one of the Onix's grooves that he wanted. While Rapp talked and recovered from his death defying catch, Mossjito slowly walked over to the limp Onix's body. Just as he saw when he went up, there was a sparkly red object in between one of those sections. He wrapped his vines around and pulled, freeing a gem of some sort! It was...so...shiny!
Quickly, before anyone else noticed, he stuffed the gem in his mass of vines and ran back over to his Trainer. Rapp knelt down and smushed the moptop of vines-before bidding adieu to the other Trainers. Both Trainer and Pokemon drank a bottle of water as they headed for the stairwell-having had enough of the Desert life.
