invincible [c/wild]

[attr="class","smdbody"]when liam pointed to another berry in the tree the milotic did the same as before and reached up to grab it. mira rattled the branch with her mouth, trying to shake the berries off. it worked; the berries fell but so did a random voltorb.

surprised, mira slithered back to his side, all the while watching the orb pokemon. he was curious; the pokemon wasn't being hostile, it just wanted to get back up the tree for some reason. he wasn't going to give it a chance to.

he examined the orb for a minute before realizing he had something useful in his backpack. reaching into it, he pulled out a pokedex and scanned the pokemon in front of him.

he let out an audible 'hmm' as he read. it didn't take a genius to know that voltorb was an electric type, and once again mira was at a disadvantage. he considered his options.

in the end he settled on one. "scald but be careful," he spoke. mira flicked her tail to acknowledge the order and sent out a large stream of water at the voltorb. it was caught off guard by the water and was sent flying back, hitting the tree behind it.

it retaliated by releasing a sharp sound that liam could only assume lowered mira's defenses. it did however give him time to tell mira to fire off another attack, and so she did; another gush of water emerged from the tender pokemon, smacking the voltorb yet again.

but this time it was quick to fire off a sonic boom attack. liam's ears hurt a bit but it wasn't too bad. mira took a decent amount of damage but she was still standing strong. her opponent however looked like it could fall at any minute. 

deciding to spare the voltorb, liam threw an empty pokeball at it.

[attr="class","smdbody"]part of him was glad that the ball didn't pop open. he was never going to use the voltorb anyways, but he wanted mira to get more experience with battles. knocking the voltorb out then leaving it in the wild would be too mean, even for liam.

he walked over to the pokeball that sat on the ground and picked it up. he'll most likely take it to the pokemon center to get it healed up and then release it. or he might keep it in his pc, because apparently that's part of being a trainer, to have a large variety of pokemon.

the two continued on along the route, walking at a relaxed pace. he couldn't be too fast as the milotic wasn't used to slithering on land; after all, it was still a water-based creature. eventually another pokemon bumped into them.

once again he scanned the pokemon with a pokedex. "looks like you finally have the advantage, mira," he chuckled. placing one hand against the milotic he nudged forward. that was mira's signal to attack.

the tender pokemon stayed in front of liam and fired off two streams of hot water targeted at the sand pokemon. the sandile managed to dodge one but fell short of the other. it was clear that the sandile wouldn't be able to survive another attack so it rushed forward to deliver a bite attack. 

"take it," he said. the milotic trusted its trainer and stood strong as the bite attack came. she quickly retaliated by firing off the final gush of water that knocked the sandile out.

liam threw another empty pokeball at it, glad that the battle didn't drag on.
