We see our heroes walking through a forest, most likely one that
is nearby to Vermillion City and on th way to Celadon City. Suik sighed
and stopped walking. Procyon turned around to look at him, grabbing
Taron's shoulder to halt him as well. "What's up Suik?" Procyon asked
"I'm tired, we've been walking for awhile now, what say we
stop and rest huh?" Procyon shrugged and flopped down onto the grass.
Taron followed suit, causing Tumbleweed to fall off of his backpack. It
yawned after being awakened. Taron poked it in the stomach.
"Sheesh, some guide YOU are." Tumbleweed shrugged, then
fell back asleep, snoring loudly. He reached into his backpack and
pulled out a long thin wooden instrument. He placed the flute to his
lips, and blew a loud shrill note that probably would have broken glass
had there been any glass around to break. Tumbleweed jumped ten feet
straight up only to come down landing on his back, once again asleep.
Taron facefaulted.
"Okay, that apparently didn't work. Hmm, I wonder what
else I can try." He rumaged around in his backpack again looking for any
Awakening potions. After not finding any he sat back in a thinking
posture.
After a few minutes of Taron thinking.....
"Hey Taron, maybe a little exercise would keep him
awake. How about if we have a battle?" Procyon said grinning.
"Is that a challenge?" Taron asked
"Well, yeah I said, 'How about if we have a battle'
and when I said 'we' I meant me and you, so yeah that was a challenge."
"Oh. Okay. How about three on three." This was
agreed upon and soon they were standing on opposite sides of a hastily
drawn ring.
"Round ONE!" Suik shouted banging a small gong
he had in his hand. Instead of summoning pokemon, Taron and Procyon
looked at him confused. "What?" Suik said wondering why they were both
looking at him.
"Uh where exactly did you get that gong Suik?"
Procyon asked, pointing at the silver metal disk. Suik rubbed his chin
in a thoughtful sort of way.
"You know, I honestly have no idea." He
stared at the gong, but it had disappeared. "Hey it's gong! Uh..I mean
it's gone!"
**First line of the X-Files theme plays in backround***
Taron cleared his throat breaking the stillness.
"Anyway, if we can get on with the battle...." He waved his hand
impatiently. Procyon nodded.
"Oh right. Blueberry I choose y- uh I mean come on out!"
The flash of white energy that appeared soon after was quickly turned
into the chubby blue Chansey known as Blueberry.
"Chansey!" It said grinning happily. Taron called
Tumbleweed, (whom had miraculously woken when he heard the word
"Battle")
"Sandshrew!" It called out hopping from one foot to
the other and shadow boxing for a moment or two.
"Ok Blueberry, sing it back to sleep." Procyon
called, Blueberry nodded. It opened it's mouth and began to sing.
Tumbleweed's eyes drooped then closed as it flopped back to sleep.
Taron frowned as he took out his pokeflute and began to
play it. And then, much to his annoyance, Bluberry sung it right back
to sleep. Taron played the flute again, and again it was sung back to
sleep.
Wanna guess how long this pattern went on for?

Yeah that's it. That's how long Tumbleweed was thrust into and back out
of conciousness Taron had just gotten done playing his flute, (And by
this time his lips were numb,) When Procyon ordered Blueberry to perform
it's Sing attack. It gave a sputtering gasp and shook it's upper body
(as its kind of hard to shake your head when you have no neck.)
"Can't do it huh? Then use a Doubleslap Attack!" Blueberry
nodded, which was actually more like a bow when you think about it, then
used it's arm like appendage thingies to smack Tumbleweed in the face.
"Hmm, if that doesn't keep him awake I don't know what
will." Taron said rubbing the back of his neck. "Tumbleweed go down
under." It nodded and put it's stubby but sharp digging claws to the
task, soon a good sized hole was the only reminder that he had been
there a few moments before.
Procyon nodded, he had anticipated this. "Ok Blueberry keep
an ear open, this could take awhile.." About three seconds after he
said that Tumbleweed's head popped out of the ground, causing a small
earthquake around Blueberry. It gasped as it's rotund body jiggled for a
moment, took one wheezing gasp, then fell over. Fainted. Procyon
recalled his pokemon.
"Okay," He said pulling out another pokeball. "I
choose....."
