After creating a 32 frame animation (See my avatar) I'm going to provide some background info,
for lack of anything better to do.

As the party wandered toward Saffron, Nightmare was once again immersed in his memories.

The very earliest thing Nightmare could remember was life inside of Spiritomb's mind.
Back then, he was nothing more than a figment of Spiritomb's imagination.

Then, one night, the world seemed to turn upside down as Nightmare was sucked out into
reality. Scary creatures were all around, threatening to shatter him. Fearsome emotions surrounded him;
stress, anger, frustration, despair. There seemed to be no escape.

Then, as suddenly as it had started, Nightmare found himself beside Spiritomb's bed.

He was named "Spiritomb's Nightmare".

Spiritomb treated him like his son; he fed him, taught him, cared for him.
This was a new experience for him; He had never been cared for;
he had scarcely even been noticed before. Another new experience was
the will to live; Nightmare had never felt it. He had never even known what life was.
He also experienced emotions for the first time; before, they were nothing more than another attempting to destroy
him; now he felt them himself. He did not like the concept. The one emotion he cherished was love.
It triumphed over all other things that Nightmare encountered in Spiritomb's mind. It was love that kept him alive.
Love for Spiritomb, the only real father he had ever had.

"You ok, Nightmare?" Haunter asked after a long time.

"Huh?" Nightmare was jerked into reality again.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Nightmare replied with a sigh.

Spiritomb had to be saved. "I will not fail," he thought to himself.

OMG!! I'm sorry, I've missed lotsa stuff.....

Gardevoir looked coldly at the Mime Jr. on the screen.
"Terminate him." she said in disgust.
She elegantly floated off, her dress-like cloak fluttering behind her.
"Bronzy, Zorro, Zongy. Do me a favour....." Gardevoir addressed two Bronzors and a Bronzong.
"They're headed towards Saffron, intercept them. And while you're at it, get Jinnx over there too........"
Gardevoir's eyes glinted malevolently.

Chingling

The group arrived at Saffron the next day.

"Wow! I didn't think it was so big!" Dark said in wonder.

"Yes, it is a big place. We'll split up and comb the city.
Haunter, you look in the south-west corner, and stock up on our supplies while your at it.
Dusk, you check the northern end. Dark, go with Dusk.
I'll check the rest. Look in every nook and cranny. Meet back here at dusk tonight."

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Haunter asked.
"I mean, not to sound like a scardey-Skitty, but
I'll be all by myself out there. What if I get ambushed like in Viridian?
Sure, my magic is pretty good, but as soon as a Special Sponge gets at me,
I'm donefore."

"I'm sure you'll be fine," Nightmare replied.
"But be cautious. Do you know what would happen if you were captured?"
Note: Something like this.

"Ok," Haunter said nervously.

Little did he know what would happen to him.

Ok Chingling, time to capture this 'un as well. I think your plan could involve everyone in this party,
for perhaps the same reason. Just a note; Did I mention that Spiritomb is shiny?

Meanwhile, back at the mansion....

A lone Umbreon sat by the windowsill, gazing off to the east.
She sighed, and got up.

"I've decided," she thought to herself.

She was going to Saffron.
But she wasn't going alone. Not by a long shot.
She started with her friend Cacturne.

"Sure! I'll come!" she exclaimed.
"I've been worried about them too."

They then asked Absol, an older
Battling Master.

"Yeah, I'll tag along," he said calmly.

This continued for a time.
Umbreon had soon amassed a small
army with Pokemon of variating strengths.
The went outside, and Umbreon shouted,
"All right! Stronger Pokemon on the left! Weaker Pokemon on the right!"

The took a few minutes to do so.

Umbreon was delighted to discover that
there were roughly the same amount of both.

"Ok then, stronger Pokemon, find a weaker Pokemon
and keep them close. They'll be under your charge."

They took another few minute to do so.
Some of they smaller ones argued over who's charge they should be under.

After a long time, everyone had a weaker Pokemon paired to them. Umbreon took the rest with her.

"All right, listen up! Strongers, your job is to watch out for your weaker,
and to try and train them along the way. Weakers, your job is to
do as your new Mentor asks of you. Is that fair to everyone?"

They all replied positively.

"Good. Then, onward!"
They left towards the east.

Well! Now we'll have a little back-up in case thing go awry.

Back to Saffron, MagikdDark and Dusk were searching for any clue, but unfortunately without success.
-I wonder what happened to spiritomb... Where did they take him?
-I have no idea... - Said dusk as they kept searching - I just hope we find something.
-Yeah.. Hey, how do you think haunter is doing wandering around all alone?
Hm... if I read right, haunter is going to be captured, so, I think I just made the way to that part.

I'm going to provide some more background info while I wait
on someone to get into gear.

Nightmare delved into his memories once again while he searched for clues.

Nightmare remembered back to his fifth birthday.
Spiritomb told him, "When you came from my mind, you apparantly
took this with you. I have kept it from your knowledge until know;
it is now my gift to you."

Spiritomb handed him a globe of solid light. Nightmare remembered it;
it was one of Spiritomb's Memories.

"I will cherish it dearly," was all Nightmare could say.

It had saved his life dozens of times since then.

Meanwhile, somewhere underground,

Spiritomb had tried everything he knew to escape. He knew now the full
extent of the Psy-Binder they had put on him.
It prevented the usage of such thins as teleportation, telepathy,
and similar psychic abilitys. Because of it, Spiritomb
could not even move an inch to get a drink of water.

In daylight, he could see his surroundings much more clearly now.
He discovered that he was not alone. To his right, an Umbreon lay on
the floor, chained to the wall. To his left, a Tyranitar was caged.
A few places down was a tank. There was no glass.
The words "DO NOT TOUCH" were written on it in bold letters.
This aisle of prisoners stretched as far as the eye could see.
Spiritomb knew that they awaited the same fate as he.
An idea started to form in Spiritomb's head when he noticed he was roughly facing the Umbreon.

"Psst! Umbreon!" he said as loudly as he dared.

Cliff hanger! Let's let Gardevoir barge in first.

"I hate this place, Psycics EVERYWHERE!" said Dusk, continuing along with Dark. "Why don't we check out the gyms, they might know something?" he asked hopefully, remembering the time he had won in Saffron's Psycic gym, enjoying the images that flashed through his head.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Kidnappin', interruptin' time ! ^-^ Oh, and btw, the Saffron Gym's PKMN are on my side, secretly.

"Psst! Umbreon!" whispered Spiritomb.
An enormous Metagross heard him, and came over.
"Shut it, freakshow!" he commanded in a rough, steely voice. Stars seemed to trail from his iron fist as it slammed into Spiritomb.
"Meteor Mash. Always works with those sissy Dark types." cackled Metagross. He returned to work.

---------------------------------

Meanwhile, the two Bronzors and Bronzong, as well as a flamboyant Jynx, were around the corner from where Haunter was.
"When I give the signal." whispered the Bronzong. "Three....Two.....one............GETTIM!!!!!!"
The Haunter was taken completely by surprise as a glowing ball of light struck him.
"Gorgeous Flash Cannon, darling!" commented the Jynx, letting loose a flurry of snowflakes in a Blizzard attack which gave Haunter no time to retaliate.
"Lets go!" clinked the Bronzors in unison. "Confusion!" they cried, and their eyes glowed. Haunter bellowed in pain.
"Done!" said Jynx. "Gardevoir will be pleased....."

Cool! Haunter kidnapped.

Chingling

Interrupt another roleplay again for the sake of your own and I'll lock your thread.

Stick to PMs, Spiritomb.

Haunter tried to muster enough strength(sp?) to use Shadow Ball on the Jynx, and it hit it, creating a distraction, enough time to pull out his staff, and use Summon Alakazam. A Large Alakzam appeared, and used (Will add attack in a minute) on the Bronzor

The Bronzor spun out of control and hit the floor with a clunk.
"Zorro!" cried the other Bronzor.
"Gyro Ball!!" bellowed the other Bronzor (Bronzy), and he slammed into the Alakazam, glowing silver. It reeled as Jynx screeched "AVALANCHE!" and a barrage of ice, snow and rocks buried the Alakazam.
Zongy the Bronzong's eyes glowed as he yelled "EXTRASENSORY!" and psychic distortions took place upon Haunter, weakening him more.

Chingling

Awwwww, man. We'll miss you, Nightmare!

The battle continued.
"For crying out loud!" hissed the Gardevoir, frustrated. "You're tougher than that!"

Hey guys, don't stop!

MagikDark and Dusk kept searching around the town, and suddenly they saw the lights of an psychic attack. They runned to the place, passing trough walls, what scared lots of humans inside houses and other buildings. But when they arrived, there was nothing left except from some good numbers of cracked objects, and a note saying that haunter was now together with spiritomb.

sorry, but I needed to end that epic battle or other people would take a lot of time to be able to play. Also, I'll repeat: Don't let the game die just because of SN's temporary leave!

Fire your lazah? Ooooh, scary
How many nicknames to I have now......?

Gardevoir slumped back into her chair. They now had two of those pesky Ghosts, but there was still that bizzare ghost-thing that responded to "Nightmare", the Dusclops and the Gengar.
BZZZZZT!
"The phone, please, Wobba." sighed Gardevoir.
"Hello?"
"Is this Gardevoir?"
"Yes. What do you want?" snapped Gardevoir, irritated.
"Darling! It's Venomoth. You know, Sabrina's?"
Gardevoir jumped.
"Hello, dear! How are you?"
"I'm coming to help you out with those Ghosties, darling....."
Gardevoir smiled......

Chingling

"YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS, MY FRIENDS WILL GET US OUT!" shouted Haunter.

I'm back!

Nightmare was jerked back to reality when Dusk and Dark came running as fast as their feet would carry them.

"Haunter's been kidnapped!" Dusk blurted out as soon as they got there.

"What? Who?! Whats going on?" Nightmare asked excitedly.

They explained what had happened.

"WHAT!? How could this have happened!?!" he yelled.
He punched a nearby fence post and scraped his knuckles.
He healed them with a wave of the other hand.

After a minute or two he sighed, shook his head, and said,
"Where do you think he was captured?"

They lead him to the area. Nightmare looked over it very carefully.

"Hmmmm... Do you know exactly who did this?"

They shook their heads.

"Well I would guess probably Gardevoir.
We need to pull her out somehow."

They sat down and thought for a while.

"We could show yourself to the humans," MagikDark suggested.
"That would bring her like Combee to hunny."

"Yeah, but that's a little risky; She'll likely bring a small army with her.
And, we need to bring her out without her knowledge that it's us.
Then, we could follow her back to her hideout, wherever that is."

Dusk asked, "But how do we do that?"

Nightmare stretched his neck.
"We could capture one of her agents," he said.
"Even if they don't tell, she's bound to come out and look for it."

"Good idea. Let's try it out," Dusk said.

"Oh, THAT won't be necessary, darlings," an odd voice said from behind them.
They turned and drew their weapons. A Venamoth fluttered a few yards away.

"Sorry to interrupt your little rescue," she said in an uncomfortable tone.
"But Gardevoir said I could capture you and get that little rank I've always wanted at
the Gym. Then I'll change things around here," she said monotonously.

"We aren't afraid of you," Nightmare said with a nastiness in his voice.

"Really? Good," she said with a hint of amusement in her large eyes.
"Then I hope you don't struggle too much."

Chingalingaling's turn. Let us win this time, but make it difficult.

And now, back to our regular story.

"Not AGAIN!!" grunted Dusk, raising his Scyth to a ready position. "You really don't want to try my patience, I have had enough of you darn psycics! I am going to k-" he cut short, noticing he was stood by the entrance to the biggest building he had seen (take a guess) and behing the glass doors, he saw a large Kadabra appear. "Oh..."

Let's check on Spiritomb while I wait on Chingy.
Note that for this battle I will use a damage calculator, as well as a few estimates.

Spiritomb startled when he heard a voice:

"YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS, MY FRIENDS WILL GET US OUT!" it shouted.
The Metagross sneered and said, "No don't struggle; You'll injure yourself."

Spiritomb squinted to see better, when the Metagross dumped the owner of the voice be tween him and the
Umbreon.

"Haunter?"

The now unrecognizable lump shifted it's eyes toward Spiritomb.
His eyes widened with surprise.

"Spiritomb?! We've been looking EVERYWHERE for you!"

"I figured," Spiritomb replied.
"Do you have anything to get this Psybinder off?"

"No, sorry. They took my staff, and somehow they knew about my blackpowder,"
he replied with sadness in his voice.

"Well, could you at least try to reach the water pitcher? I haven't drank in ages,"
Spiritomb said in his now crackled voice.

Haunter stretched his hand out and held the jar to Spiritomb's lips.
He quaffed the water in large gulps. It was the loveliest drink he had ever taken.

"Thank you," he said, and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, up top....

Nightmare raised his hand toward the Venomoth, and shouted, "Thunderbolt!"
A flash darted toward the Venomoth.


Venomoth's current HP: 140
Nightmare's Current HP: 102
MagikDark's Current HP: 106
Dusk's Current HP: 94

I will update this when it comes back around to me.
Speed will be ignored. However, once you attack, wait until everyone else has as well.

Lol, I didn't even have to reach, my hand just floated away. And an HP stat? Whats mine? and what are our levels.

OK guys, SN Pm'ed me, and here is what he said;

*yawn* Meanwhile, I woonder what Umbreon's doin'?

The throng of Pokemon wandered slowly toward Viridian Forest. It was rather slow going,
due to their large numbers.

They reached the old woods by the end of the day.

"Mightyena! Go start looking and sniffing around. See if you can find out where they went.
Everyone else, settle down! It looks like we're going to have to spend the night."

Everyone rushed around to try and get their respective tasks done.
Mightyena approached Umbreon and said,

"Are you sure you'll be alright? It'll be quite a while until I get back."

"I'll be fine, there's gotta be a hundred of us here. I'm
a little more worried about YOU," she replied.

"I, too, should be alright."

"Then go," Umbreon said with a clear dismissal.

The Mightyena nodded, and then bounded off deep into the forest.

Meanwhile...

Spiritomb sat slumped against the wall.

"What am I going to do?" he sighed.
He felt very useless right now.

Then, he felt something brush the edge of his conscience.
What was it? It somehow felt familiar. But Spiritomb couldn't
decide what it could be.

A few minutes later he felt it again. Then he remembered something;
Psybinders are battery operated! Excited, he tried moving about. Nothing.
He tried telepathy; and it worked! THATS what it was!

Heeheehee! How stupid of them not to plug it in! he thought to himself.

He tried to contact the Umbreon again, only this time with telepathy.

"Umbreon!" he thought towards it.

The startled Pokemon looked around, suddenly alert.

"Over here, the Spiritomb!"

Spiritomb felt an uneasy surprise, then curiosity, emanating from Umbreon.
It slowly looked at him and tilted it's head.

"What's going on?" it said.

"I'm communicating to you with telepathy," Spiritomb answered.
"Now hurry! There's not much time! If you can crawl over here and press the 'off' button on this thing,
I can get us all out of here!"

"How- oh nevermind," the Umbreon started.
He proceeded to crawl, slowly and surely, toward Spiritomb. He cam to the end of the chain.
He stretched his neck, and all his limbs, as far as they would go. It was just barely within reach, when...
A loud click came from the belt that held Spiritomb prisoner.

"FREE AT LAAAAAAAAST!" He cried. he flew around the room, elated.

"Now," said the Umbreon, "It's your turn to help us."

Spritomb focused his energies. He compressed and focused until all his power resided in one cell.
He then released it, and all the various restraints all fell away.
Chains broke, prison bars fell away. A tank a few places down popped open to reveal a Crawdaunt.

They all looked at each other, and then at Spiritomb, and then, quite suddenly:

"What's all the ruckus in here!?" The Metagross shouted. His eyes widened at the sight of
all the worlds most powerful Dark types staring at him with that look in their eyes;
The look of one who enjoys power, and finds themselves in the position to use it.

Finally, Spiritomb said, "Back away everyone; this one's MINE."

The Metagross turned to run; but the only door slammed shut.
Spiritomb floated slowly toward his tormentor.

"Tell me, my dear guard," he said as eerily as possible.
"Do you fear death?" Couldn't resist!

The Metagross' eye's widened in terror.

Then, Spiritomb whispered, "Wimpy Psychics,"
He then proceeded to use moves such as Faint Attack and Shadow Ball on it.

The crowd cheered with every hit.

Soon the Metagross could not have asked for mercy even if he wanted to.
Spiritomb then backed off.

"Let's get out of here!" A Tyranitar shouted somewhere.

Back to The Battle

Gengar uses Hypnosis on the Venomoth

A searing bolt of crackling electricity struck Venomoth.
"OW..........." she gasped, but got up and harshly snapped "Psywave!". Distorted pulses of Psychic enervoicegy struck the Ghosts down.
"Kadabra!" shrieked Venomoth. "Get them!"
"Psybeam!" hissed the Kadabra in a rough, wispy voice. A rainbow beam hit where the ghosts were lying.

Tee hee! There ya go! Dankescheun! (Not spelled right but there are no two little dots to go on the o. )

Chingling

"Oh no you don't!" shouted Dusk as he stepped in the way of the Psybeam, spinning his staff to block the attack.
"Right then," he shouted, before leaping at the Venomoth, his hand bursting into flame.

End of Turn 1

Venomoth's current HP: 99
Nightmare's Current HP: 102
MagikDark's Current HP: 71
Dusk's Current HP: 59

And now, I use...

"Lapras! Come to me! Assist us with your cold!"
Nightmare shouted.

With a flash, Lapras appeared and said, "Ice Beam!"

A blue ray came from her mouth and hit Venomoth head on.

Begin Turn 2

Venomoth's current HP: 51
