‡ Round 228 ‡

Bellossom stumbles, Confused. Nonetheless, she pulls it together long enough to drape a silvery veil of energy over her body. Celebi watches and spits out a tiny ball of red light which speeds toward Bellossom and begins wrapping itself around her, limiting her in some way you can't quick pinpoint.

However, the answer comes with the next action: Bellossom tries to use Ingrain, but can't. The move simply doesn't work. Celebi uses this opportunity to zap Bellossom with a Thunder Wave, but the Safeguard keeps her safe. Suddenly, the Confusion becomes too much: instead of attacking Celebi, she merely strikes herself in the face with a quick jab. Celebi watches curiously and performs another Nasty Plot.

Cool! It's mainly so that I don't waste an ultra ball that could be used when I eventually reach Giratina, if I reach it that is. I want a few as a backup for situations like this

[Ayeun]

I am pretty sure this has come up before and the answer was no. You can't buy more balls when in mid adventure.

But that may have changed.

‡ Round 229 ‡

Bellossom gives her head a shake, ridding herself of Confusion. Suddenly, she begins chanting to herself under her breath, coating her vulnerable areas with a magical barrier. Celebi, however, appears unperturbed by this tactic and closes her eyes. She begins humming melodically as she calms her mind, gaining key stat boosts in the process.

While her opponent is vulnerable, Bellossom lashes out with not one but two Leaf Storms. However, the typing doesn't seem to be in Bellossom's favour and the moves don't do a whole lot. All the while, Celebi keeps meditating.

Suddenly, Celebi's eyes go wide and she springs into action. She unleashes an incredibly powerful Signal Beam at Bellossom, launching your little Grass-type into a copse of bracken. What a strike!

‡ Round 230 ‡

You summon Sketcher into battle. The Safeguard transfers to him, granting him immunity to any statuses. Celebi, however, opts not to inflict one and instead generates a protective Safeguard of her own. Thus, as the Flamethrower crackles against her, there's no chance of a Burn. Fortunately, her heightened Special Defence blocks out a little bit of the attack.

Sketcher keeps the flames a-comin' and Celebi merely endures them. Suddenly, once she's had enough, she lashes out with two Hidden Powers. The Water-type energy connects with Sketcher, knocking him backward more than a tad.

Sketcher's Safeguard flickers out.

‡ Round 231 ‡

Just as things start to look like they might be going your way, Celebi swoops in and begins draining health from Sketcher. Her monstrous Special Attack stat causes her to drain quite a bit from your poor Smeargle, who paints a big, shiny lightbulb which emits a blinding Flash. Though Celebi is dazed, she manages to continue draining health. Sketcher lets off a second Flash.

At this point, Celebi lets go. Though she could continue Giga Draining, she decides to try a different tactic. She waits for the third Flash before establishing a mental link with Sketcher.

Just like that, her eyesight returns to normal; her stat boosts, however, vanish.

‡ Round 232 ‡

Now that Sketcher's health has reached critical levels, you decide to sub her out of harm's way and replace her with Pachirisu. However, Paralysis kicks in immediately, leaving her unable to do a thing as Celebi closes her eyes. Suddenly, the sun begins to shine impossibly bright over the clearing, causing the mist to dissipate. She follows this up with a mighty SolarBeam, sending Pachirisu tumbling away into the undergrowth.

However, she pulls herself up and scurries toward Celebi. She sinks her teeth into Celebi's foot with a mighty Hyper Fang before exerting even more pressure as the attack transitions into a Super Fang. Once again, Celebi attacks with a SolarBeam. Poor Pachi looks pooped, but at least Celebi's Safeguard has faded.

Suddenly, she notices a gleaming object half-buried at the foot of a raspberry bush...

His health reaches critical levels.

Aikoku keeps up the charm as he strikes with three Rock Slides. Skarmory, however, shakes off the tumbling boulders and manages to fight back with two Rock Slides of her own.

Explain the situation - we weren't aiming to do anything sick with the Vulpix tail, we're looking for Giratina. Get Yurei to back me up as well, she wouldn't want her own specie's remains!

You decide to simply watch the proceedings without gambling. Tauros lays into Miltank with a series of Headbutts, causing the latter Pokemon to repeatedly flinch. As expected, Tauros seems to be on the path to victory.

Beside you, a female Nidoran is cheering herself hoarse in favour of Miltank. She holds a fistful of betting stubs and you suspect she wagered quite a bit on the underdog. However, as Miltank takes another hit, it seems as though Nidoran is soon going to be losing out as well.

The Combuskens don't seem to care what you were planning on doing with the Vulpix Tail or whether you own a whole army of Ninetales: the law is the law. They advance, ready to apprehend you. Terrified by the advancing officers, Houndour scarpers and one of the three Combuskens tears after him.

The other two clench their fists menacingly. While two Combuskens probably wouldn't have given you too much trouble only a handful of rounds ago, you expect this will be an uphill battle with the current condition of your party members. Uh-oh.

In a panic, you hop upon Aikoku and try to hightail it out of there. However, the Combuskens don't like this idea. They each grab onto one of Aikoku's tail feathers and plant their feet in the ground, preventing your struggling Braviary from attaining flight. He decides to Roost instead and Yurei, meanwhile, tries to entrance both of the Combuskens with a Hypnosis. Quick as can be, both of the Fire-types throw up impenetrable Protects while Mirror Moving Yurei's Hypnotic waves, causing your Ninetales to instead be the one lulled into a deep sleep.

While one of the Combuskens uses Strength to keep Aikoku pinned, the other approaches you furiously. He raises a fist and brings it swinging down toward you with a perilous Rock Smash--

And suddenly, all goes black.

When you come to, you find yourself in some sort of detainment cell lined with stone. You peer around blearily and see a set of metal bars blocking your escape. You give yourself a pat-down and realize your Ultra Balls, Pokeballs, Skarmory Feather and Bony Mask are all gone. Your Pokemon are nowhere to be seen, either.

You peer around for any way to escape, but there doesn't seem to be any easy way out of here. You stick your head out the bars and look down the narrow walkway outside of your cell. You see a sleep Flareon with a set of keys tied around her neck. She seems to be wearing an official badge and you try to ask her what's up, but she looks aggravated for having been awoken.

"Keep it down, perp!" she snaps. "Don't play stupid! You were trying to purchase Pokemon remains... the tails of an actual Vulpix! That's a ten year imprisonment for you!"

Well, doesn't look like you'll be getting a trial. Just as Flareon settles back down for a little more sleep, you peer at the cell across from yours. Sitting there with a muzzle tied around his snout is the Houndour from before. He peers at you with timorous eyes.
