Shortly after becoming a Grunt and allowed some time to dress into her new navy uniform, Sombra was ushered onto a navy blue helicopter with a K imprinted on its side.
"Where are we going?" she asked the pilot.
The pilot, in turn, grinned at her.
"I've been ordered ter take yeh to a remote forest fer training so that yeh can prove yer salt," he remarked in butchered slang. "Put on this blindfold, will ya?"
Sombra obeyed, and an hour later, she felt the helicopter land with a small jolt. Pulling off the blindfold, she was ordered to get out and start walking around.
"Hopefully, you'll be lucky 'nuf to run into a couple of wild Pokes. That's where yer trainin' comes in," the fat pilot remarked, the toothpick in his mouth wiggling as he spoke. "I'll be watchin' ya from the helicopter from a long way off. Try not ter let yer Elekid faint! You'll be done when I start a'hoverin' over ya with the helicopter. If yeh pass, Ah'll drop a rope ladder. If ya don't...there's a fair chance that Ah will leave ya out here alone."
With that, he shoved a couple of potions (this accounts for Pokemon Center visits) into her hands, and then sent her off into the woods. Sombra hastily stuffed the Potions in the pockets of her new pants before she started walking along a faded path. Apparently, they took new recruits up here often.
After a while, she grew bored, so she let out Thor. The two chatted for a while as the late morning sun turned into an afternoon sun...

All of a sudden, a Pidgey flew onto the scene...

Sombra grinned. A Pidgey, huh? This would really be easy...not to mention interesting...
"Thor, knock it down with a Quick Attack, won't you please?"
"Ele!" he replied, smiling as he started speeding off towards the bird.

Pidgey wasn't even paying attention, so it didn't expect to be attacked. When Thor hit the small bird it flew up into the sky before flying back down. It appeared to be trying a Fly attack.
Note : Battles can be done by yourself if you want. I only have to say which pokemon appears. If you prefer to battle this way then thats fine, but it is not required.

(Eh, I'll just say what happens, then. ;D )
Just in time, Thor dodged the Fly attack, but the Pidgey turned right around and used a Tackle that nailed the electrical Pokemon in the chest.
"Hang in there!" Sombra shouted worriedly. "Use another Quick Attack!"
This time, Thor's aim was true, and the dumb Pidgey was slam-banged into a tree from the attack for good measure. The bird had been knocked out almost instantaneously.
"I'd probably catch it if I had some pokeballs," she muttered. "But I'm here for training, not catching."
She continued walking onwards with Thor obediently by her side.

Wild Swablu Appeared!

OOC: Does he gain levels as I'm doing this?
Before Sombra could even give an order, Thor used Quick Attack on the Swablu, sending it into a tree. Then, before the bird could react, Thor started physically punching the bird Pokemon until it was down for the count.
"You didn't have to get that ruthless," she muttered.
"Kid.." he muttered, clearly stating that he was sorry.
"No matter. Let's keep going."

OOC : Yes, a level for each pokemon you defeat.
an Aron approached Thor...

(I'm assuming all of these Pokes are Lv. 5, so...)
Thor grinned on sighting the Aron, and he flexed his huge arms and grinned. As he did, an electrical surge shot out from his body towards the Aron.
Thor had learned Thundershock!
Normally, most rock types wouldn't be affected, but since Aron was rock/steel...well, the attack both damaged and paralyzed him. He was left unable to move as Thor used another Thundershock, and the Aron fainted immediately.
Upon watching the Aron, something stirred in Sombra's heart...
"I think we should keep him until we find a pokeball. He might be useful."
Thor nodded solemnly, and the Lv. 8 Pokemon now walked alongside his trainer without question.

(The wild pokemon are levels 5-6)
Thor spotted a Magnemite...

"Crap, a Magnemite," Sombra muttered. "Ready Thor?"
The electrical Pokemon nodded, and he immediately spun into a Quick Attack, knocking the floating Magnemite out of the air. The Magnemite was sent spinning, and it was disoriented enough to allow Thor to use a Thundershock on it.
This paralyzed the thing, and even though it got in a couple of hits to Thor, he eventually made the stupid magnet faint. By now, poor Thor was starting to get sort of tired....
(Would've been longer, but I'm in a hurry and in a lazy mood, so...)

(after this battle you can move on or choose to stay for awhile)
Abra teleported infront of Sombra and Thor...

Thor immediately ran at the Abra with a Quick Attack with a command from Sombra, and even though the Abra attempted to use Teleport, Thor caught onto him and weakened the thing with Thundershock. The Abra instantly fainted, and Sombra also decided to take the thing with her.
"Nice one Thor," she congratulated proudly, to which the Elekid blushed a little. "Should we keep walking?"
Her question was answered as she heard the thrumming of helicopter blades above her. A rope ladder dropped down from the cockpit, and the fat pilot slid down.
"So, yeh passed! That, and ya got a passel of Pokes who belong to ya by right! See, ain't this trainin' useful for a newb like ya? I'll take ya back ter base, and furnish yeh with two pokeballs. Provided that injured Aron makes it," he added, grinning. Indeed, the Aron's breathing had become slightly labored, and she was suffering from a minor head injury. The Abra, carried by Thor, remained unconscious for the most part.
Sombra and her little posse were hauled up into the helicopter, and the pilot set them on course for the Kratos Base.
OOC: Once I get to the base, do I just buy the pokeballs (somehow) or do I automatically get them?

(You get them from the guy who is flying the helicopter.  Just have him talk to you before your first mission and give you 5 pokeballs.) |
