Route 22
Archer and Squirtle had been training for awhile, they were now easily defeating the wild pokemon they encountered with one or two hit; although, that wasn’t too difficult considering Squirtle had learned water gun. Archer was about to call it a day when something caught his eye. There was a gray kitten Pokémon walking around on its two hind legs. “Woah Squirtle look at that.” He pointed towards the mysterious Pokémon with his Pokédex. “Espurr, the Restraint Pokémon. Espurr's psychic energy can travel hundreds of feet, blasting everything around it.” That’s crazy, this thing must be seriously powerful, I want it. “Squirtle lets go! Use water gun!” The turtle shot forth a blast of water, only to be deflected by a pink screen Espurr had conjured. Archer and Squirtle tried attack after attack, yet nothing reached Espurr. At this point the kitten appeared to be toying with them as it hopped around laughing. The kitten then decided it had enough fun and hit Squirtle with a confusion attack. Squirtle became dizzy and fell over, now stuck on its shell. Archer was disheartened and returned his Pokémon, realizing he had no chance of defeating the Espurr he desired. As he turned around and began walking away the kitten ran up to him, smiled, then jumped up and hit the center button on an empty pokeball, and became shrouded in light as it was absorbed into the ball. Archer was dumbfounded by what had just happened, but that quickly turned to excitement. Whatever it was, he had convinced Espurr to travel with him and that was enough. He began whistling with glee as he headed on back to the Pokémon center.
Secret Elite Four Training Field
Luma was not at all phased by the onslaught of attacks coming from her opponents Sylveon. “Petal Dance.” Luma commanded her Venusaur. Spectacular pink petals appeared and swirled around Venusaur, protecting her from any damage. “Now leech seed, then sludge bomb.” Venusaur sent many seeds towards the Sylveon, if one even got near the Pokémon would be trapped, Venusaur was well trained enough that it could make the seeds sprout at will. If everything went according to plan the battle would be over soon, with a restricted Syveon getting hit full blast by a super effective sludge bomb.
