Shocking Discoveries [MOD]

[Benji Aldaine]

Benji had been leaving the Blissfury Plains when he noticed the abandoned power plant in the distance. He had rather just gone back to the dorm to sleep but knowing he still needed another Pokemon for the tournament he forced himself to come explore. Hopefully he'd find something quickly and be on his way, or he could be here searching for hours and finding nothing...who knows. The tall boy approached the large front doors of the old place, it had definitely been shutdown for a long time. Cobwebs stuck to the door and stretched as he opened the creaky wood. The sound echoed into the building and he knew if there was anything in here, they most likely knew he was here now.

It was dim inside, but enough light filtered through the dusty windows to give him enough light to see. He could only imagine how dark this place was at night. Shrugging he ventured inside and passed a bunch of old looking machines. They still seemed to hum quietly with leftover electricity, and the sound was almost creepy in a way. Ignoring the machines he weaved through them and continued deeper into the abandoned building. "Come out, come out, wherever you are," he said loudly into the silence.

Just as the shout left his mouth he heard something scurrying to his right. It didn't sound too big, but curious he ventured over to the old machine. He wasn't sure exactly where it was coming from, but it sounded like it was somewhere inside. Benji reached out and knocked on the cold metal a few times, the sound echoing out into the silence. The noise inside stopped instantly and he knocked again, this time harder. Whatever was inside got spooked and jumped out, hiding behind another machine. Not wanting to scare it anymore, the mana student slowly rounded the machine and peeked behind it. A small mouse Pokemon was huddled by the metal, shaking with obvious fear. It probably had never seen a human before. Benji adjusted his eyes to the dim light and realized it was a Dedenne. Not exactly what he wanted, and he didn't want to scare the poor thing any more than he already had.

"Sorry," he whispered, backing away slowly and cautiously. The Dedenne looked at him for a moment curiously, then skittered off and disappeared. "There has to be something else in here," Benji muttered, looking around and heading over to an area filled with thick wires that lined the floor. He could swear he heard something from around the corner, so he followed the trail of wires to see what it could be.

As Benji rounded the corner he noticed this part of the building was considerably more darker than the rest. No windows lined this hall so it was rather hard to see. He could see a small flashing light halfway down, and curiously went to check it out. As he got closer he realized the flashing light was actually crackling electricity pouring from one of the thick wires. At first he didn't see the culprit responsible, but soon enough it appeared. A small furry yellow-covered Pokemon came skittering out of the shadow and happily began feeding on the electricity. Benji squinted his eyes, leaning down trying to see what it was. The small Pokemon stopped it's feeding to glance up at the student. "A Joltik?" The bug huffed at him, and then continued to go back to his feast. Again it wasn't exactly a Pokemon he was looking for, he'd just let it be.

Carefully, he stepped over the Joltik and continued down the dark hallway. Many doors lined the narrow passage but most seemed locked or empty, no use looking inside. He continued down until he was stopped by what seemed like a large metal garage door. Interested he leaned down, slowly lifting it up to see what was inside. It seemed like some sort of hanger-like room, full of old storage trucks, broken machines, and even a few abandoned desks. It was rather creepy, with crackling electricity here and there, and odd noises echoing within. "Come on, stop being a baby," Benji shook the silly fear away and stepped inside, not sure what he would encounter.

Action: Passing again.

This place was a mess, it was as if they abandoned it without even clearing it out, just leaving the old equipment and papers to rot away with time. He wondered what this place had looked like back in the day, full of bright lights and workers milling about. Now it was only a shell of its former self. Shrugging he continued exploring through the dark hanger, hearing noises here and there but never actually seeing anything. "This is a waste of time," Benji said sighing. So far he hadn't found anything of interest and he's was beginning to think he wouldn't find anything at all. Just as he went to turn and leave a "Chuuuuuuu" rang out loudly. With wide eyes the student spun around, tracking where he thought the sound had come from. Straight ahead was a giant pile of abandoned tangled wires. Another "Chuuuuuu" and he was sure it was coming from the pile. Slowly he rounded the mass and noticed something moving, something yellow.

At a closer look he realized it was a Pichu, the poor creature tangled in the wires. It struggled with all its strength yet it was no use. The wires were so tangled around one of its feet and he wasn't sure how long the little guy had been stuck there. "Need some help?" Benji said cautiously as he approached the panicked Pichu. The electric-type looked up at him, and begun struggling even harder. Not wanting to get shocked he bent down slowly, shaking at the wires until the Pichu's foot came loose. The little Pokemon tumbled down the pile, landing on it's butt a bit dazed. It got to its feet and just stared at Benji. Now this was a Pokemon he could use for the tournament, and he was glad he had stayed and explored a bit more instead of leaving. He quickly grabbed a Pokeball and showed it to the Pichu, "Want to be a part of my team?" He expected the Pichu to accept it, especially since he saved him. Yet that wasn't the case. The small mouse-like Pokemon shook his head, backing up and letting out crackles of electricity from his cheeks.

"Not gonna go without a fight huh?" He replaced the ball with another an released Duncan, his Charmander. "Fine, but you're going to be mine either way." Duncan's tail lit up the dim area as he glanced around for a moment. When he noticed the Pichu though he instantly looked at Benji for an order. "Let's make sure this little guy doesn't zap you, use a smoke screen." Duncan nodded, inhaling deeply and then let out a huge dark cloud at the wild Pokemon. The Pichu disappeared in the dark substance and they waited. Suddenly a flash of light erupted from the smoke, a jolt of electricity speeding right towards them. Benji hopped out of the way and yelled at Duncan. "His accuracy should be down, try to dodge it!" Luckily for them the accuracy was indeed lowered, and his Charmander easily rolled to one side.

"Let's finish this quickly, you might not be so lucky next time. Use Fire Blast!" Duncan grunted and nodded, opening his mouth wide as flames gathered. In another burst he shot out a huge blast of fire, it enveloped the whole cloud of smoke, lighting up the entire room with a firey light. When the smoke and flames cleared Benji had expected to see a fainted Pichu, but instead to his amazement the creature was still standing! Smoke drifted from it's small body and it looked like it was on its last legs but surprisingly it hadn't fainted...and Benji was impressed.

Although the Pichu was weak it wasn't ready to give up. It closed its eyes tightly as if gathering energy, and lots of it it seemed. "Nasty Plot? Crap if we let him use another Thundershock and it hits you might not make it Duncan." His Charmander looked a bit worried at the thought of getting hit by that electricity. "We can't give him the chance. Finish it off with a Slash and hurry!" Duncan didn't waste any time, lunging at the smaller Pokemon. His claws came down hard with a vicious slash, hitting his opponent hard. The Pichu let out a cry, still standing for a few more seconds before finally falling to the ground. It stared at Benji for a moment before letting out a sigh and closing it's eyes. "Wow...you're stronger than I expected." He was still amazed as he threw a ball at the unconscious Pichu, not knowing how the little thing withstood those attacks so well. If he caught this Pokemon, and trained it well...it would be well worth it in the future.

Action: Attempting to catch the Pichu.

[ChromaticTruthsayer]

Success!

You caught the Pokemon!
Remember to add it to your PC and remove one Pokeball!

[Benji Aldaine]

As he expected the Pichu didn't put up a fight and the ball soon stilled on the ground. Duncan smiled, proud of himself as he puffed out his chest. "Duncan...it wasn't like you fought off a Dragonite, get over yourself." His Charmander glared at him, shrugging and walking off, taking the light with him. "Wait up!" Benji laughed as he scooped up his caught Pichu and quickly followed Duncan out of the abandoned building. This had been an interesting day and he had a new Pokemon under his belt, and once he fixed its moves up a bit this little guy would be great for the tournament. With a skip in his step he left and headed back to the dorms.
