Charizard had never been so humiliated.

Calling for help. What was he, a weakling? It wouldn't have been so bad if there was a fight going on right this instant, and they just saw, yes, that would have fine...fun even. But writing a letter? He couldn't believe he even let that bird convince him! She was long gone, so he couldn't even take it back, and so he sat below a near curtain of cavournous rocks. So far, so good, no Pokemon had found him or his bounty of supplies.

Nothing more to do but wait for his extra hands. That bird had better have convinced somebody strong, making him wait so long...

The Pokemon Cove was a beautiful affair, all hazardous beauty and inexplicable life...all of which seemed lacking by the area the Natu tried to lead Purple and Bowser Jr through. "The brute...hides here...no Pokemon about." The tiny voice emenated from her, barely loud enough to hear even with her best efforts, though the voice was clear, "Be grateful...most psychic-types...wouldn't help..." A rare breed I am, she praised herself silently, kind enough to help a brute and skilled enough to communicate in my psychic manner, I hope the brute realizes how lucky he is!

She almost felt sorry for these two, coming to help a beast that had gotten into trouble all on his own, but no matter. It was a win-win for the Pokemon of this part of the Cove. They would be spared the presence of this Charizard once more, and the faster he got out, the less risks they would take to harm him...hopefully this human and turtle being wouldn't get hurt either.

Finally, the path ended in seemingly a dead end, and the Natu perched upon a pebble, almost bigger than she was. "The brute...hides there." Her beak pointed towards a mass that almost resembled a mass of stone..at least until it twitched upon those words, growling low, "He seems a...bad hider." She looked expectingly up, looking for the rescuers to make the first introductions.

Bowser Jr. flew aside the Natu in the Clown Car, closing in on the Cove where the letter's sender was. So he'd found a bunch of food and needed help bring it back, huh? That sounded awesome! And the amount of food that he said he found could feed the Life Sphere for a good while! The Pokémon seemed a bit on edge, but they'd calm down once everyone left, right? The boy that came with them seemed to think the same way, cause he seemed just as excited

Flying into a cave, Jr settled the Clown Car down and decided to follow Natu on foot for the rest of the way. Once Natu showed them the place where this "brute" was, Jr looked into the darkness to see what was there. And what was there surprised him pretty good.

What Jr though were rocks at first shifted and snorted at the Natu's comment. Jr looked closer and... "Is that a dragon?" Jr asked to nobody in particular. That was definitely a dragon, and it was one of the biggest ones Jr had ever seen. It was almost the same size as Papa, and that was huge! "....You didn't say that this guy was a dragon! Are we really gonna help him with all that food?" Jr was equal parts scared and amazed. The dragon was kinda scary-looking, but this was still absolutely awesome!

No matter how many times his travels brought him there, every visit to Pokémon Cove felt like a brand-new experience for Purple. Whether it be with his Pokémon, other trainers, or in this case:
“Following a talking Natu with and a talking Turtonator who can pilot a hover craft, to go help a Charizard who can write letters!” Purple whispered to himself again just trying cope with how cool this was.
“So, when are you gonna start talking, huh boy~?” He teasingly nudged his Blaziken who was hiking beside him.
(So, when are you gonna start shutting up~?) Clucky grumbled back, more than a little self-conscious about the ‘not being able to speak English’ thing. Despite not being able to understand a word he said, the lad still giggled all the same, reading loud and clear that he pushed one of his Blaziken’s buttons.
(What?) Clucky cocked a brow at his trainer’s sudden chuckling. Running back through the exchange in his head, even he began to snort at his own retort. The kid was alright.

The laughter quickly died down as the party arrived at the Charizard’s hiding place. First Natu, then Bowser Junior, then Clucky, insisting he go before Purple. The boy compliantly hid behind his Blaziken when the rocks began to move.
“Alpha!” He whistled as he slowly emerged when the rocks turned out not to be a scary Aerodactlyl, but a Charizard.
(Kid, what are you doing?) Clucky promptly began to protest as Purple tiptoed his way past the Turtonator toward the strange Pokémon.
“Relax boy, I got this.” He softly reassured his Blaziken as he took off his backpack. Time to put what he read in that book to the test.

First he held out his open hands, showing that they were empty, and that he was unarmed.
Then, taking a few steps closer, he stopped in his tracks and slowly extended one arm out as if to pet the Charizard, but stopping halfway again and holding perfectly still.

Clucky could only extend a nervous glance toward Natu and Bowser Jr. between long anxious stares at the Charizard from where he stood.

Charizard shook his head, raining down dust briefly as he sighed out a long breath. Upon the child's words, his jagged teeth showed in a smile, "(Guess even kids know something cool when they see it.)" He commented aware he wouldn't be understood, but it was worth it to see Natu roll her eyes. He looked over the two, then back to the Natu, a Pokemon Trainer was great here, but there was a problem, he realized upon his own words. "(...wait, why a kid? I don't wanna be responsible for a hurt kid!)" Now the Natu ruffled her feathers and spoke out, "Trust me...I wouldn't bring...failure adventurers...I want you out."

Of course. That was all the "help" they were getting...least she was honest.

Charizard leaned down and plucked up two of the lighter bags in his claws, only to find himself face-to-snout with the purple human. Who was...holding his hand out for something? His eyes shot back and forth between the hand, Natu, and his held bags, baffled and questioning. What did this human want?

The silence was deafening for a moment, and then Charizard abruptly tried handing one of the bags over to Purple, head tilted in question. "(H-here you go...thanks?)" He spoke quickly, trying to get out of this situation as soon as possible. It was almost like the human wanted to pet him...weird.

"The food, I presume?" The Natu blinked at the bags, which Charizard was hastily laying out for the others to pick up as they wished, just enough people were here to carry them. "Don't damage them now...we must-"

Her voice cut off as a shuffling drew near, closer, and closer.

Ever calm, Natu simply looked at the entrance they had come from, "It appears...the search have expanded...we should go...Pokemon approach, they will be upon us...in two minutes...one...we must run."

Ever the fighter, Charizard glared as if he could see the approaching Pokemon and started marching forward, "(Why go? Let's have some fun...what a bunch of whiners. They're gonna chase us, let's take care of them.)"

The shuffling grew closer, signaling approaching enemies. In the cavern, there was only one entrance, they were trapped. Was he expecting anything different? Eh, not really.

"Grab the bags!...They are not many...but we are fighting!" Her cry didn't even try to be muffled, the Pokemon knew they were here, so why bother?

From here on out, your character will be carrying a bag full of food. This bag has a durability of 6. Getting hit with a critical or a move that causes a status effect on you will take off a point of durability. This bag can also be used as a substitute to a shield, but this will take off 2 points.

Jr just watched as Purple slowly walked up to greet the dragon. Despite this dragon not being able to speak. What exactly was he hoping to accomplish here? The Koopa prince caught the awkward look that Charizard had on his face, and just shrugged, not exactly sure what to say about what just happened, and went to grab a bag of food himself.

Luckily, the awkward moment was quickly swept under the rug, as the sound of many shuffling feet reached Jr's ears. Quickly tossing the bag Charizard had given him into the Clown Car, Jr hopped in after it and revved the engine. "Looks like we're fighting our way outta here." Jr said. He pressed a button on the Car's rim, and two large boxing gloves popped out of the sides. "Bring it. No one's gonna touch this food." Looks like Jr was just a confident of a fighter as Charizard was. That lesson from Shadow must be paying off....

(You’d better not be responsible for a hurt kid.) Clucky growled with a crack of his knuckles, making them spark like a lighter. (Or you’re answering to me!) This growling was met with a hasty shush noise from Purple. The Blaziken might throw this whole thing off and cause the Dragon-Type not to trust him!

A moment of deafening silence later, Purple opened a curious yet slightly nervous eye to see what wasn’t going on. The Charizard was still there, but why wasn’t he?... Wait. Is he?... Handing him a bag?

“Huh? Oh, Uh… Cool, thanks.” Purple did a double take before using his extended hand to take the bag. He was not expecting this at all. Inspecting the unexpected bag, he found it was full of food. That’s way more alpha than Charizard just letting him pet him! Too bad Nintenda wasn’t out of her Pokéball to remind him that Charizard is Not a Dragon-Type.

“This is the food you need help protecting, isn’t it?” Purple smiled helpfully up at Charizard. “Alrighty then. Don’t worry, I’ve long mastered the art of the Bag Delivery!” He scooped up another bag and wrapped them both around his elbows.
“Tada~!” All those single trips with groceries was paying off!
Looks like it was time to make one of those single trips out of this cave before they were cornered.

“How are we gonna escape if the only way out’s the way we came in?” Purple asked, not confident in his ability to run without spilling his back.
(Easy. We Don’t run.) His Clucky cockily shrugged and took Charizard’s side in addition to a fighting stance. (We stand, we fight, then we walk.)
“We’re gonna What?” Purple did a double take at Natu, then to the Turtonator, whose hover craft grew a pair of boxing gloves. So it’s a Flying/Fighting-Type? And then to Charizard and his Blaziken.

“Welp, okay boy. If you say so!” Purple nodded affirmatively, also taking a battle stance that accommodated the bags in his arms. Clucky seemed as ready to battle as ever and this filled Purple with he confidence to guide him through one.
“Let’s see if we don’t have a spicy knuckle sandwich to share!”

"(I like how you think!)" Charizard roared at his new companions, raising his head to look down on the approaching Pokemon as the Natu wisely flew into a crevice to avoid the upcoming brawl.

(Here! The food is here! Really? Food is here!" A gaggle of voices filled the air, and five rat-like bodiesdarted into the cavern, and Charizard rolled his eyes. Ratatta and their boss. Fantastic.

The first to enter the room, a Raticate, didn't even waste time. Its jaws chopped at the air as it made a flying leap towards Charizard, screeching out, "(It's you!)"

p_1d20+2 (Raticate dodges!)

"(Gah! You little-)" Charizard snarled and tossed the rat Pokemon away as its jaws clamed right before his face, barely missing him. Before his fight began, he turned over his shoulder and noted the other Pokemon in the room, and grinned widely, "(Heh! Have fun guys!)" The glee in his voice suggested that he genuinely meant it before launching at his opponent, claws flashing. Ducking and weaving, the rat snickered as it moved to dodge...and Charizard's attacks came way faster than anticipated, landing a deep blow as it screeched and darted back.

The Ratatta seemed less eager to jump in, eyes flicking about before one was driven to frustration and launched at the Blaziken, not even trying to hit an easier target. The others followed suit, launching attacks randomly in a fit of anger and fright.

Jr steeled his gaze, ready for whatever was coming for this food....although he was kinda let down when he saw that all that was after them was a bunch of rats. "Really? Is that all that's stopping us? This should be easy!" He was expecting a little more of a challenge. Oh well. He said he was going to defend this food from anything that tried to get close, and that included these rodents. After watching Charizard maul one of them, a spark lit up in Jr's eyes, and he faced the group in readiness. 

k4wviLShp_1d20 (Jr's dodge of Rattata's Bite: Failure)

p_1d20 (Jr's dodge of Quick Attack: Failure)

Jr grunted in pain as a rat latched it's teeth into his side, and got knocked backward as another rammed into his Clown Car, but he wasn't going to give up just yet. Shaking the first Rattata off, Jr hit the gas on the Clown Car, steadying itself after the Quick Attack. Facing Rattata A, Jr thrust his fist forward, and the Clown Car followed suit, imitating his movements with it's boxing gloves.

p_1d20+2 (Jr's Boxing Gloves! DMG 5%)
p_1d20+2 (Again)

After pummeling the pesky rodent, Jr turned his attention to the other rat that tried to attack him. Slamming a button on the rim of the car, the boxing gloves retreated into the hull, only to be replaced by a twin set of drills. Jr revved them at full speed, before trying to drill the second rat against the cave wall.

p_1d20 (Jr's Drill Shove! DMG 15%. If the Rattata fails to dodge by a margin of 2 or more, then Jr can follow up with another attack that does an additional 10%)

“…Aw ew.” Purple flinched as no less than four Ratatta and a big fat Raticate swarmed the room. It was one thing to find one in your kitchen at night, it was another to encounter one on its own turf in the wild. And not just one, a pack of them. “S-stay back!” He squeamishly warned, his fighting stance faltering into cowardly backing up as one frustratedly charged him. Everybody's got a plan until the wild Ratattas appear.

A panicking cry of pain erupted from the trainer, who sounded like…well, a little boy who was bitten by a wild Ratatta would sound.
(Kid!) Clucky turned around to gasp at his trainer being attacked, being too distracted to dodge the Shadow Ball that blasted him from the back.
(Oh Now you done it!) Clucky growled menacingly, driving a fist full of knuckles down onto the Ratatta’s back.

(p_1d20+3 Clucky Brick Break @ Ratatta C Does 18% Damage.)

“Atta boy, Clucky!” Purple panted in relief at his rescue. “Now use Flamethrower!” He commanded his Blaziken, who had made his priorities clear, to basically attack them with Fire!
“Blaziken!” Clucky breathed in and exhaled a torrent of fire at the oncoming Ratatta hoard.

The little Natu had just hidden in her cavernous hideaway just long enough for the area to be cast into chaos. In the few seconds she looked away, she had no idea what she was looking at once she turned back.

A Rattata squeaked is discomfort as it was smacked away with boxing gloves, shaking out its fur as it retreated away from Junior and those terrible, terrible red gloves. His own damage seemed to remind his friend to dodge away, scrambling practically on the walls as it deftly avoided the drill attack.

Charizard himself gaped in awe as the Rattatas facing off against a Blaziken somehow both rolled away from a Brick Break and dove away from a Flamethrower in quick succession. "(Arceus! How have you been training!?)" His frown was filled with disbelief, and his distraction gave the Raticate sufficient time for both a witty comeback and strike with its tail!

"(Anyone fights their hardest when scared! Of me not getting my food, in particular!)"

p_1d20+1 (Once more, for clarity)

p_1d20+1 (And again!)

p_1d20+2 (Crit confirmation)

p_1d20+1 (But Charizard avoids that!)

A harsh slap across the shoulders nearly toppled Charizard, and he realized with horror that the bag on his back took a brunt of the blow, ripping slightly so that the aroma of berries swirled in the air. Before he could retaliate against such impudentness, two more sharp hits collided right on his wings, drawing a whimper that certainly did not almost sound like a a hurt dog's.

In a reflexive move, he flapped his wings, driving himself towards the Raticate's stupid, smug face, and promptly stopped liftoff, hoping to bring his full weight upon the Pokemon.

p_1d20+3 (Charizard's Fly, does 18% damage if hit)

p_1d20+3 (And he does it again!)

p_1d20+2 (Dodges the first!)

p_1d20+2 (But Raticate can't avoid the second!)

While he didn't feel impact on his initial Fly, Charizard smirked as he landed full-on the Raticate, a jagged smirk crossing his features. "(Got ya, fat rat! Now...)" He roared as he stomped off, turning to the others, "(Hurry up! They're just a bunch of Rattata!)"

Again, the Rattatas rallied together to attack, though three of them stuck behind their companions. Meanwhile, a Shadow Ball fired off in wobbly directions, making its clumsy way towards its target.

(Rattata A, C, and D are getting pumped with Focus Energy! For two turns, they get +1 in attacking rolls!)

p_1d20-2 (Clucky! Looks like that Rattata liked it's luck, because it's trying again! Shadow Ball, 15% damage if hit)
