Lai walked down the trail, glancing around every now and again. He was thinking about the types of pokemon he wanted to raise, and then how to go about getting them. But then he decided to chuck planning out the window and just go with the flow. It was a warm, sunny day, and he figured he might be able to get some traveling in. He also figured he'd be able to find a pokemon or two on his way.

And did Lai certainly find them. A Corphish stood motionless in front of his path, crouched down in a ball and barely moving an inch. Hopefully the boy wouldn't trip on him, but he showed no signs of getting out of his way.
From a distance, a group of more Corphish were leaning out of Sandwind Lake, calling out to the lone creature. <Hey! Carlos! Come back to the lake! Everything's going to be fine!> <CARLOS YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IF YOU JUST SIT THERE! HURRY!>
The Corphish stopped to look at the last guy, shaking their heads in disapproval. <Not cool man..>

Lai stopped just before the Corphish, but instead of looking at the pokemon right in front of him, he was looking at the pokemon who seemed quite frantic. He looked around, trying to see what was there, and he found it: A Corphish stading right in front of him.
"Ah..." He said, stepping back and reaching for his pokeball. "Blu, come on out," he called as he released Blu from her ball. "Blu, use a peck."
<Ok...> Blu flew down to the Corphish, and attempted a peck on the little thing. <Sorry about this...>

One of the Corphish squealed as they watched Carlos get hit with the Swablu’s beak. He groaned and said to himself, <Not in the middle of one of his panic attacks!> The rest of the crayfish began to dart back and forth in the water saying <Oh shit, oh shit,> to one another. To Lai, however, it was just, <Corphish, Corphish..>
Carlos’s body shuddered at the peck registered on his skin. He lay there for a second before he slowly curled out of his ball and stared wide-eyed at Blu. <You hurt me,> he said, barely loud enough to hear. In a flash, the Corphish rushed onto his feet and flung his arms around, making whooping sounds and making up threatening poses. He looked like a guy who only thought he knew karate. After many ‘poses’, he paused with his claw sticking out near Blu’s face and began to spin it in a circle. While she would be watching it, Carlos took a deep breath and blew air at her, his breath forming into a stream of Bubbles, hoping to land on the Swablu. [/center]

"What the heck is that Corphish doing?" Lai said to himself when the Corphish began to make all of the poses and spin his claw in front of Blu. That's when he saw the foam in his mouth. "Blu, dodge that!"
Blu didn't hesitate, she didn't know what she was dodging so she just fluttered up and into the air behind Carlos.
"Now use Peck," Lai said again.
<Ok...> Blu dived at the Corphish, again trying to peck the poor thing.

This time the Corphish was ready for an attack. He swiped at the Swablu in the sky, hoping to knock it down with his big meaty claw. Whether it hit or not, Carlos started to send another Bubble attack out, tossing his head about and flinging the Bubbles everywhere. <I eat you! I eat you!> the crawfish yelled, foam lapping down his belly. He didn’t know anything else to say that was threatened, and he didn’t know why that came to him. But whatever he had, he’d use.

<Ow!> Blu chirped as she was knocked down, soon getting hit by some of the bubbles. She acted on her own, flying upwards and back into the air.
"That has to be the weirdest Corphish I've ever seen," Lai said to himself, watching the Corphish go into a frenzy. "Blu, growl."
Blu used a growl attack, remaining cautious. This Corphish was just insane.

The Corphish suddenly stopped what he was doing and stared blankly at the Swablu, frozen in a strange position. Slowly he backed away, holding his claws up in defense. <Woah, man. Woaaah.>
Off in the distance, the others looked at each other confusedly.
<What is he doing. What is he doing> <Oh god he’s gonna blow it.> <Carlos is an idiot.> <Hey! Shuddup, that’s your brother!>
Carlos gaped his mouth opened and sent another Bubble attack sailing as the other Corphish babbled to themselves. [/center]

"Blu, dodge that and use a peck," Lai said. He didn't seem to notice... Er, care, about the other Corphish. He was only paying attention to this one right here.
<Right.> Blu did as she was told, flying to the side of the stream of bubbles and rushing down beside the Corphish, aiming to peck the poor little red shellfish.

The Corphish scrambled back, making the Swablu chase him as he kept walking just out of range of her beak. Eventually he tripped on his feet and slipped a bit, allowing Blu to finally get close enough to send the Peck down his spine. He bellowed angrily and rushed after her, having Bubbles shoot out of his mouth. <Swablu is yummy in my tummy!> he yelled, this time reacting to his Corphish family as they cheered him on. He pumped his claws in the air victoriously. [/center]

<OW!> Blu said as the bubbles hit her right in the stomach. She was beginning to run low on HP, and she looked at the Corphish, and back to Lai. Lai was seemingly unphased.
"Blu, one more peck should do the trick. Hang on until you can get that hit, ok?" Lai asked his Swablu. She had taken a few hits too many, and that was a little obvious now.
<Ok...> Blu got herself back into the air, honestly hoping that Lai wasn't intending to catch this Corphish. She figured she had better aim for a really good blow this time, and so she did. She flew low to the ground, aiming to jab her beak up at the Corphish's stomach. That WAS supposed to be the soft part of a crab, right?

<I am the clobber-er, I really am! Yah yah yah!> Carlos danced around, tapping his feet to an imaginary ballad. <Awww yeah!> The Corphish family watch him, suddenly tensing up. For the umpteenth time, their sibling was screwing the battle up. The fact he couldn’t focus was a clear sign he was running out of energy. They muttered to each other, and suddenly one of them leapt up and screamed, spotting the Swablu soar down at their brother. <Heh?> Carlos spun around, not really sure what was going on, but the peak that crashed into his belly sure taught him what he was supposed to do. <’Eeeeeeey! Fishsticks, that ‘urt!> Still upon the floor, the Corphish rubbed his belly gently, wincing at the pain. <Do you think that beak is like being tickled! It ain’t at all!> Scrambling back to his feet, he tried with the Bubbles again and hoped for the best of luck before he practically passed out with all the bubbles he had to blow. [/center]

"Blu, dodge that one," Lai said, noticing that the Corphish had finished. He pulled out a pokeball from his bag, and pressed the button in the center. Making the ball bigger.
Blu dodged the bubbles, mostly. One of them grazed her right wing, although at this stage it wasn't as bad as when she had taken point blank hits. She noticed Lai, about to throw the pokeball and her head sunk in defeat. Even though she hadn't actually lost.
Lai threw the pokeball, not seeming to notice Blu's head sinking with what appeared to be a dismayed gaze.

The Corphish let out a long sigh as he barely kept his body off to watch his attack float away. It grazed the bird, and at this point, that satisfied Carlos. He slumped down onto the ground, staring into space while not noticing a large obscure red-and-white shape coming straight for him.. It sucked him up, and before he knew it, he floating in the side abyss of a Pokeball. For a second, he was too shocked to do anything, but then he began to fight back, making the ball shake a few times. He could not succeed, though, and he let the ball complete its duty. Name; Carlos Gender; Male Personality; A strange little Crawfish with a bloated sense of pride for his battling prowess. He can easily let his ego take over and lose complete focus on what he was originally doing. He has panic attacks on a regular basis, causing him to roll up into a ball. Level; 4 Moveset; Bubble Ability; Hyper Cutter- Carlos cannot have his Attack lowered. Blu gained a level!The Corphish family watched the scene in silence, most of them gaping at the fail they had just witness. For a while, no one said anything. Then the usual class act put in his two cents. <Carlos, you suck.>[/center]

"Ok, Blu, come back. You did good." Lai held up Blu's pokeball, and in a beam of red light, Blu disappeared into it. Lai placed the ball into the appropriate place in a canister within his jacket, and began to walk onward.
