tag, you're it! [mod]

Emmett Tiberius Bourne

Emmett rolled his eyes as he watched his pokemon. He had been so excited for that little Growlithe egg to hatch, but now that it had, he was hoping it could go back for a while. At least then, he might have been able to get rid of it, sold it or something. He sighed as he watched the canine bounce around, taking off after anyone who looked at it too kindly. "Kourier!" He frequently called out after her, hoping that she would come prancing back. And if that was not bad enough, Spoq thought she was the most wonderful to ever be created. The little Blitzle was always following her around and trying to flirt with her, not that she ever really responding, mostly looking at him in wonder before becoming distracted and taking off again. If there was any word to describe her, it was Derp.

Emmett sighed, carrying his Sandile as it often looked up at him adn shook its head. Veloc could not believe that Emmett would have gotten another pokemon. He believed that he was enough and Emmett should have gotten rid of Spoq the second they found one another. The little crocodillian thought that he was the most wonderful thing alive, often proving to be just as obnoxious as Emmett when it came to that sort of thing. Emmett looked down at the brown pokemon and for once, almost agreed with him. The other two were becoming rather annoying by this point, not that he did not love them, well Spoq at least. He was still unsure if he liked Kourier or not. She just did not seem like she ever understood him and she did not listen for shit half the damn time.

His pace picked up as Veloc nuzzled him, enjoying the fact that he was being carried like royalty while the other two actually had to walk. Although he did not know that if Emmett could catch Kourier, Veloc would be walking like Spoq. If he could manage to get a hold of that quick little fire dog who always insisted they were playing tag and Emmett was it... well he doubted he would ever put her down again. He rolled his eyes once more, trying hard not to loose site of the two pokemon before Spoq came back to his side and they continued trying to find Kourier, which generally was not hard. Due to the fact that women normally cuddled her and squealed about how cute she was and men normally were seen running from the little pokemon trying to cuddle up to them, even if Emmett lost site of the baby pokemon, he knew it would not be hard to find her general area.

By now he was sweating profusely, often pulling the water bottle he carried in his pocket to rehydrate himself and giving it to his Blitzle as well. He did not understand how Kourier could just keep going like she did. Her fur was thick and it seemed like she would easily overheat bouncing around like she did. But she never really bounced around either. She sort of... waggled? He wondered how to describe the way the pokemon moved. Butt swaying side to side, not really stopping for other objects, just sort of... going through them... He shook his head once more, using his sleeve to dab at his forehead, hoping that they could catch her for good eventually, at least then he might be able to strip down to at least his undershirt and try to cool off a bit. Find some shade. Oh how amazing that sounded.

Finally, he spotted the dog pokemon. Again, his pace picked up as he called her name and she turned to look at him. Her tail waved gently and he could not believe she was just standing there like that, so ready to greet him and play with him, even if he was obviously ticked off. She panted heavily and he assumed she had momentarily grown tired, which was what allowed them to catch up in the first place.

OoC|| Really felt like going out and playing tag when I wrote this XD Hence the name and Kourier deciding to play tag with Emmett being it. lmao.

The nerve of that damn Growlithe! Coming into her territory and stealing her sugarhumans. The Snubbull was positioned behind a dumpster near the fire type and its party which was apparently a human, a Blitzle, and a Sandile. But she was not concerned about the other three; it was the Growlithe she had it out against, with its unique crimson and black striped fur and lovable little puppy-dog face. Here it was, swooning all of her humans right in front of her! Before, Snubbull had been the star of this part of the city. She was irrefutably adorable, and no other Pokémon was willing to fuck with her, so it was a bit self-proclaimed.

So she was vain, she admitted, but not everyone could say they earned their vanity. Through her cuteness she managed to score food, pretty little trinkets, and sometimes even a place to stay for a while. But this new competition—no, she would not give it the satisfactory thought of being a threat—harlot was stealing her spotlight! Unable to take the insult of it all any longer the jealous pink Pokémon leapt from behind her hiding spot and attempted to pounce upon the Growlithe, her fangs revealed for a vicious Bite attack. < I’ll show you, you little bitch! > The little diva had always been a temperamental, foul-mouthed little dog Pokémon. Especially when it came to things she loathed with a passion.

A wild Snubbull has attacked!

Female.
Level: Seven.

Emmett almost froze up in his steps as suddenly, there was a pink pokemon basically pouncing his Growlithe. It had snapped something at little Kourier before using a vicious bite attack, which he was certain would knock out any normal newly hatched pokemon. Yet somehow, little Growlithe was sitting there nearly stunned, before deciding that this Snubbull wanted to be her friend. Em could not decide if she was really that stupid or if perhaps she was just dillusional at this point. The little pokemon yelped before looking up at the Snubbull and trying to curl up to it, licking at its chin playfully before Emmett was right there, swooping her up. By this point, he had dropped the Sandile on the ground and had his Growlithe in his arms instead, finding it odd that he felt the need to protect this thing. But then again, if he did not, who would?

However, this seemed like a bad choice the second he did it. Not only was he now facing an angry Snubbull head on, but he also had this Growlithe in his arms which deciding it wanted to play with the pink dog like pokemon. So in response, Kourier nipped at his hands, which only made Emmett even madder. "Are you fuckin' serious!?" He growled, catching the attention of others, trying to squeeze his Growlithe tight against his body, pissed that the little thing thought he was the bad one. It continued to yip and yap and squirm, and by this point, he had no patience for the Snubbull. However, now Blitzle was ending up in the bad position. Trotting up to the female and finding it to be sexy as well, he cooed out a <Blit Blitzle>, only to have Emmett snap at him. "Spoq! No! Attack it!" His voice was still harsh, and Veloc tugged at Emmett's pant leg, begging to go into battle, only to be turned away from. "Not now, Veloc. Next battle is yours, but this is a good chance to not only kick that thing's ass, but also work on Blitzle battling females," His voice was a little more calm, but the Sandile replied with a growl before watching the battle unamused.

"Alright, Spoq! Use Tail Whip!" Emmett tried to calm his voice as he spoke to the pokemon. It's tail wagged and it continued trying to coo at the pokemon, but decided it might be a bit too intent on getting little Kourier, which might not bother him or Veloc, but the fact that Emmett was holding the little dog did. Nodding, Spoq nodded, waggling his butt happily a she hoped to lower the Snubbull's defense, not that he expected it to work all too much. "Now use double kick!" Emmett was pleased to have Spoq with this move. He hoped that it would hit, but knew that Spoq still needed some serious training, although this battle would be great. Plus, if the Snubbull proved to be strong, he could catch it and add it to his team. That would be awesome. Although, he was not sure if Snubbull actually was. Plus, it was sort of girly looking. Although, Granbull was not so much... He shook his head. Only if this thing was strong would he add it to the team.

Spoq used Tail Whip and Double Kick

[| odysseus]

Snubbull’s surprise attack—although time-consuming—proved to pay off in the long shot. Her Bite attack had managed to connect, but the Growlithe was miraculously still standing somehow. And what’s more, the little bitch licked at her face. Sputtering in disgust the Snubbull retreated for quick second, rubbing her chin vigorously to rid herself of the disgusting parasites the fire type had given her. Once clean she went back in for the kill, only to be greeted by rather tall Blitzle legs. It appeared he was attempting to woo her as well, at that! What!? Where’d the Growlithe go? For a moment a smug smile darkened her face as she relished the thought of the little fire type running from their battle.

However it turned out the human had just retrieved her from the battle and switched the Blitzle in, as the Growlithe was now between his arms, looking as doofy as ever. With a growl of frustration the Snubbull glared at the other dog Pokémon before directing her attention to her new opponent. She was greeted by a taunting Tail Whip and was then sent back by a Double Kick. That had really hurt! Getting back up the Snubbull stood its ground and barked, < If I have to beat your ass to get at that slut, Romeo, then I have no problem with that! > As a taste of his own medicine she utilized her Tail Whip and then went in for a second Bite attack. The Snubbull may be a beauty, but she wasn’t top dog soley because of that, ladies had to fight their way to the top out here.

Emmett could not believe that his Growlithe was still sitting there fighting against him. She wiggled and squirmed, whined and growled. She wanted to go down and play with that Snubbull. She was CERTAIN it wanted to be her friend, to love and play with her. If asked, she would more likely than not claim that it had not meant to bite her that hard. That in all reality, it had meant to only love tap her, with its teeth of course. The actual attack, well that was not meant. She licked at Emmett's chin and struggled to get down and play with the Snubbull, wanting to wiggle around it and lick and play with it. She continued to cry and Emmett actually felt like just shrugging and tossing her to the Snubbull then leaving, but shook his head. No he could not do that. At least not in this public of a place.

<"Emmett! She only wants to be my frieeenddd!"> The Growithle pleaded as she just gave up and worming her way out of her arms and went to crying instead. Her ears pressed back and she gave him her best puppy look she could. Not that it was that difficult since she was still a baby, but the attempt was not the best. He shook his head, and focused his attention on little Blitzle, who seemed distracted once more by the Snubbull being a female. It did not appear interested in him, however, only more aggravated than before. She stood up after being hit by the attack before growling at him, something Emmett did not understand. The pink pokemon then attacked with her own tail whip and bite.

<"Romeo, aye? I am pretty sexy, slick, and desired if I say so myself,"> Blitzle chuckled, not really caring that she had actually attacked him. Just the idea of being romantic, at least a little bit, pleased him. He shook himself excitedly and tossed his head back as Emmett rolled his eyes at the continued "Blit, Blitzle" noise that came from his pokemon. Veloc continued to huff and puff about wanting to battle, annoyed that the hoofed pokemon obviously could not handle staying focused and /killing/ this thing. Instead, it stood there and made stupid comments and pranced around like it was hot shit, trying to further impress the Snubbull which was not impressed at all... by any of them. He grumbled and snapped his teeth together a few times out of annoyance before turning to watch the people going by instead.

"Ugh, Spoq! Stay focused!" Emmett pleaded with his pokemon. "Alright... uh... Tail Whip and then Double Kick again!" He called out, sort of disappointed that Spoq only knew three moves so far. While he did not mind Double Kick and Quick Attack for his offense, he would admit that having only Tail Whip as a defensive move sort of... sucked. But still, he would rather a strong offense and a weak defense than the other way around. Emmett would admit that he enjoyed how fast Electric type pokemon always appeared to be. High speed was always so cool, especially when a pokemon was so fast it could basically vanish while attacking. Not that Blitzle was that good, at least not yet. But still, his movement was fast enough. Emmett would have loved to see his Quick Attack, but by the looks of this pokemon, he wanted to stick with Double Kick and keep the fighting type advantage of the move. Maybe even try and catch the female... fumbling around in his pocket, he tried to find a pokeball, that way he would be ready when the chance surfaced.

Only, this appeared instantly to be a bad choice. Immediately feeling less restraint, little Kourier had the chance to escape his grasp. Leaping down and using what little energy she had left, she began her scamper back toward the Snubbull. Her grin was wide and while she did not call anything out, her expression hollered the word "Frieeenndd!" Her tail wagged like crazy and as Emmett found himself worried that this Snubbull would knock out or even kill his little Growlithe, Veloc was suddenly there. The little Sandile snapped onto the Growlithe's tail and tugged hard backward, knocking it onto its face and dragging it toward Emmett. In this moment, Kourier wondered if Veloc was a mortal enemy and growled at him, until she remembered she really did like him and decided instead to roll on top of him and lick him. "Thanks, buddy," Emmett said in relief, only to have a vicious <"You owe me"> Thrown back at him. It was obvious this was his first battle. Everything about it was chaotic. Not to mention, his lack of variety and strategy. Instead, Emmett was going for all out brute force. The way he tended to do most things.

Spoq used Tail Whip and Double Kick again.

[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] A WILD POKEMON APPEARS ! SNUBBULL l FEMALE l LEVEL 07 CHARM | BITE | SCARY FACE | ICE FANG | TAIL WHIP | THUNDER FANG As though the Snubbull had not already been angered by the Pokemon's cockiness, there it was, in his master's embrace just snuggling right in, while she was here fighting this goon brought before her. The little bastard was throwing snide remarks - That nasty little shit, she'd get him. Her attention spun to the human. If she could get the human's attention away from the Growlithe or any of the Pokemon for just a little moment, this little starlet was certain she could charm her way into his heart without much effort. The Snubbull scoffed at the Blitzle's foul mouth, before she spat, "I will cut your throat you no good tootin piece of shit-!" Surprised by her own display of foul mouth-ness, the Snubbull snapped back her attention to the battle. The pink canine brute rolled out of the way of the two successive attacks, even after being caught off guard by the Tail Whip. Feeling a little less guarded than usual, the Snubbull growled, manoeuvring around the area with great familiarity. This was her turf, and damn right, she knew this place like the back of her paw. As though disappearing from a moment, the Snubbull had resurfaced from nowhere, leaping from behind the Blitzle while it was in the process of recovering from its Double Kick attack. Her fangs were bared, pearly whites gleaming. There was a frosty aura around her canines, her teeth glistening with ice as she lunged forward with her Ice Fang attack, clearly showing no mercy with this ugly little bastard. NOTES

Emmett could not help but sort of grin at the Snubbull. It was so angry and sooo determined to get a hold of his little Growlithe. If the poor thing was any stronger... and smarter he would definitely throw it back into battle. But he was still surprised it had not fainted and had enough energy to struggle against him. How the little thing wanted to play with this Snubbull. Possibly because it was another female. That made sense to him, since the other pokemon on the team were males and little Kourier had only seen other female pokemon in passing with other trainers. But then again, he could be wrong and she could just be dumb enough to think this thing wanted to be her friend.

It snapped viciously at his Blitzle and Emmett glared at it. He did not know what they were saying, but he knew that it probably was not nice. At least what she was saying to him, mostly from experience, and the fact that Spoq's ears fell back discouraged as she snapped at him. He took a step back and looked at Emmett then back at the Snubbull, wondering what to do next, his feelings almost hurt by the fact this thing had responded so viciously. But just as quickly as she had hurt his feelings he jumped up and down once, stamping his foot and smiling at her again. <Nah, girl, you don't really mean that> He seemed to laugh as he spoke. His tail wagged a few times and his ears twitched as Emmett called out to him again.

"Stop goofing around, Spoq!" He shouted as he picked Kourier up once more and considered returning her to her pokeball. However, he worried that if he did not constantly hold and watch her, she would remain the same way she was. Lifting her from the ground, she licked his chin and whined again about wanting to go see her new friend the Snubbull, to which Veloc rolled his eyes and moved off to the side, once again ignoring the others and the battle. He could not stand them half the time anyway. However, the two distractions of his other pokemon caused Emmett to miss what was happening next. Turning to face his pokemon again, it was suddenly being attack by an Ice Fang, the Snubbull basically flew at Spoq. "Dodge!" Emmett called out a little too late, the attack hitting the Blitzle's side and causing him to cry out.

Spoq's first instinct was then to buck up backward, leading him to use another Double Kick on the Snubbull, spinning sideways to return his back end to her. While Emmett was alright with the pokemon using a Double Kick (although he had wanted it to use Quick Attack this time), he was displeased with the fact that Spoq just attacked on his own. "Stay focused buddy, try and weaken her, but try and move faster than she is as well," Emmett's words were hard but held encouragement for the zebra like pokemon. "Try to dodge her next attack and don't move your eyes off her," He continued, watching as Blitzle was growing a bit more tired by now, especially since he was no longer as interested, not being able to work his 'magic' on this pokemon before him.

Spoq tried to Dodge and used Double Kick once more.

[bg=f8f8f8][atrb=width,300px] A WILD POKEMON APPEARS ! SNUBBULL l FEMALE l LEVEL 07 CHARM | BITE | SCARY FACE | ICE FANG | TAIL WHIP | THUNDER FANG The Snubbull seemed even more infuriated by the Pokemon's arrogance. How dare he make a joke of her! Arrogant snotty and over zealous bastard that Blitzle was! Her blood was boiling, practically skyrocketing through the roof as they spoke, and it was only a matter of time before she burst a blood vessel. The Snubbull seethed with rage, appalled and taken aback by the Pokemon's lack of chivalry or lack of better respect for a clearly more important gender. She huffed indignantly, as though taken aback by the Pokemon, and as her Ice Fang attack struck, she seemed very much appeased by the move, judging by the pained expression on the Pokemon. Damn right, she'd show him. She had barely any time to react when the Blitzle sent forward a Double Kick attack, a rather brutal one, for that matter, straight at her pretty face. She shrieked, pain coursing through her body as she desperately sought to stand up. As if the first blow had not already caused her great agony, the second blow did not help the Snubbull's case, as her face contorted into that of pure agony, trying to fight the urge to scream, lest she showed weakness to this foolish little black and white doe eyed zebra. She cringed as she stood, her bones aching from the fight. No, she simply could not bear to see herself lose to this dim witted freak! Letting out a wail of unparalleled fury, the Snubbull rose, whipping her tail to and fro furiously, trying to get the Blitzle a little more intimidated now that she had gone partly psychotic. Without a second warning, the Snubbull let out a sharp cry and then dashed forward, vengeance curdling in her blood as she attacked yet again with an Ice Fang attack, consumed with rage to even care if she missed - If she did, it would only fuel her rage to and determination to beat this snotty prince charming!

Emmett watched with a bit of a twisted smile. He knew that his pokemon was weaker than this Snubbull, but that did not mean that he was not going to beat it anyway! Watching it double over as Blitzle kicked her in the face, and he watched her, ready for his chance to catch the damned thing. It was strong and thick headed, from what he had seen so far. She would definitely be a good addition to his team, or so he hoped. If anything, she would at least have more focus than Kourier or Spoq. The pokemon seemed to be hurt by this round of Double Kicks, and Emmett was certain that she would not be able to get back up. Grasping a pokeball from his belt, he was going to catch her, definitely! However, much to his surprise, even after shrieking so many times, the Snubbull managed to bring herself back to her feet!

In a moment, she was flying back toward Blitzle, grabbing and chomping down hard on his shoulder! Emmett took a worried step forward, Kourier certain that it was because he was not letting her play. In response, the Growlithe nibbled at his chin and tried to drop to the ground, but again, Emmett held her tightly to his body. She continued to squeal and squirm, but he did his best to ignore her, watching Spoq worriedly. However, the zebra pokemon did the best he could to shake off the chilling attack. His shoulder was now acting, and he cried out. Stomping his hooves on the sidewalk, he looked back at Emmett in distress. "Don't worry dude, you can do it! Are you alright?" The trainer called out, a hint of worry in his voice, but other than that it sounded relaxed as he tried to decide the best thing from this point forward.

The Snubbull was still raged, in fact, she seemed even more upset now than she had before. But she was also growing weak, and he wanted to catch her before she fainted... "Alright, Spoq! Use another Tail Whip and then a Quick Attack!" He finally decided on his attacks. He would see how she responded to this and then try a pokeball from there. Actually, he might even let it faint and then try to catch it. That seemed much easier... Clipping the ball back in its place, he watched. Worried that his Blitzle would not last much longer, Emmett hoped to end the battle soon. Or he might have to trade Spoq for his Veloc to finish it. Blitzle huffed and puffed, stomping around, no longer as interested in this pokemon which brought him pain. He snorted and did the best he could, first trying to play it off as cute, which he doubted would work well since the Snubbull did not like him anyway and was in a frenzy by this point, then moved as fast as he could in this condition, planning to smash into the thing once more.

Spoq used Tail Whip and Quick Attack
