You walk left, and the path becomes slightly more overgrown. You continur for a little ways, and suddenly walk straight in a bug pokemon hive. You freeze, and look around, seeing all manner of bugs crawling around.

I send out Machop and Natu quietly, and instruct them to be as quiet as possible. Natu jumps onto my shoulder and Machop follows me closely. We creep by the hive as quickly and qiuetly as possible.

You start to sneak past quietly. Some bugs look at you viciously, but shy off when they see Natu. You exit on the other side and quickly speed up, leaving them behind.

I give both pokemon reassuring looks and smiles, and return Machop to his pokeball. Continuing down the worn-out path, I search about for shiny thing...

You go ahead for a bit more, and Natu suddenly perks up; it hops onto your head and stares backwards. Seems like it noticed something followed you.

I whisper "What is it, buddy?" and turn around, pointing my pokedex around to spot a pokemon.

Dex: Ping! Ping! Ping! Yanma, the Clear Wing pokemon. Yanma is capable of seeing 360 degrees without having to move its eyes. It is a great flier that is adept at making sudden stops and turning midair. This pokémon uses its flying ability to quickly chase down targeted prey.

Alright! That's a good pokemon... Go Machop!!
Natu, keep a lookout, and just holler if you see anything!

Machop, it's got awesome accuracy, so watch out. Keep on your toes, and if he comes close, Leer at him! Also, when he seems vulnerable, give him a Rock Slide. Let him know how that tastes!

Machop comes out and looks around. Ans eery silence sets, and you, Natu, and Machop look all over for signs of the Yanma. Suddenly, it comes flying out of the forest and blasts Machop with a beam of light. Machop hurls rocks at it, and hits with a few of them, but Yanma's speedy dodging evades a good chunk of damage.

Hmm... He's quick, too...
Machop, hide in that bush, and just wait until it comes looking for you. When it does, Leer again. While it's stunned, use a Rock Slide. That should prevent it from dodging around so much.

Yanma starts buzzing around crazily, in an erratic and semi-random pattern. Yanma blazes towards Machop at high speed as Machop uses Leer. Yanma's momentum keeps it going, and it crashes into Machop. Machop gets up, rubbing its head, and hits Yanma with Rock Slide.

Whoa, not quite what I had in mind, but nice job, Machop!
Now, Quickly, before it gets back up, sit on its back. you only way about half it's weight, but that should hold it down a bit.... Then start throwing rocks at its head with Rock Slide!

Machop jumps on Yanma, and it takes off. Yanma spins and bucks rapidly, trying to knock Machop off, but Machop holds tight. Machop hits Yanma with Rock Slide, and Yanma blazes the light again. Machop loses its grip and falls. Yanma speeds towards Machop and hits it three times before it can even hit the ground. Machop then lands.

What's with that light!?

Machop, how are you doing? Just stay there, playing dead. Wait until it comes down to investigate, then hit it with Rock slide again!

Yanma flits around like the crazy dragonfly it is, and flashes the light again. Luckily, Machop is face down in the ground, and isn't effected. Yanma buzzes down close to Machop and stares at it intently. Machop jumps up and uses Rock Slide, but Yanma easily dodges the majority of the rocks, and is only hit by a couple of them.

Nice! Let's see if you can get a better hit this time. It's so fast!

Machop, come on over here and climb on my shoulders. Natu, hop into my backpack.
Machop, close your eyes, so that the funny light doesn't affect you. Hold on tight to me, and I'll try to grab it when it comes to attack you. If I can get ahold, I'll shout, and then you throw rocks at it again!

Machop holds on tight, and Natu hops in your backpack. You tense up, ready to try to catch the 83 pound, four foot long, high speed dragonfly cannonball. It flies around you like an electron around a nucleus, and suddenly turns on a dime and hits Machop from behind, sending it flying. Luckily, it didn't fly to far. Unluckily, that was because it was still holding onto you. You fall forward with Machop, and Natu rolls out of your backpack. Machop then flings rocks at Yanma, and couple of which hit.

...ouch...

Ok, Machop, that didn't go so well... Here's the plan: You run around and distract Yanma, and if you can, Leer at him. I'm gonna stare at these two trees with my Boy-Scout-Vision to make a heavy-duty bug catching net. Then you get it to fly into the net, and I'll tie it up!

Machop runs about wildly, and Yanma copys his movements exactly, a couple feet above him. Machop tries to use Leer, but can't look straight up and keep running at the same time. You stare at the trees, but they don't bow to your will, no matter how hard you try.

Ok, guess I'll have to do this manually...

Machop, keep at it. I'll fix up a net that I can carry. but it'll have to be pretty big. Here I go, tieing a bunch of trees and sticks and branches together to make a net.

Machop continues to run about, and Yanma hits it with the light. Machop starts runnining widly, with Yanma still matching its movements. Machop runs into tree, and Yanma takes the opportunity to speed up and hit Machop in the back for extra damage. Meanwhile, you have managed to construct a makeshift cage. Natu clicks its beak in approval.

Yes!
Machop, bring him over here. This is gonna be tricky. You lead it over here, and I'll drop the cagenet on it. Then you can knock it in the head with rocks until it's unconcious!

Machop runs towards you with the Yanma chasing it. You throw the cagenet at Yanma, who rushes forward and hits Machop in the stomach. The two pokemon both wind up in the cagenet. Machop throws rocks as Yanma blazes its light. The two pokemon soon break the cagenet, and both look tired.

Here, Machop take this potion!

He looks like it's getting worn out, so run around and make it chase you. Then run through those shrubs, and on the other side, be waiting for it with a Rock Slide.

Yanma chases Machop through the brush while using the light, and Machop smacks it with Rock Slide on the other side. Yanma falls to the ground, its wings fluttering helplessly.

Finish Yanma

Alright! Good job! Now bask in the glory of having defeated it- just kidding... it'd prolly escape, just like in the movies...

Before it can go anywhere, give it a Low Kick, just for show, then knock it out with Rock Slide!

Macho hits Yanma with Low Kick, which knocks it out. Machop thinks better than to squich the carcass, and doesn't use Rock Slide.

Level up for Machop

A: Catch the thing?
S: Leave it be?

A:Catchatize the Yanma, Cap'n!!

-1 Pokeball

1...2...3...all right! You got a Yanma! (Level 11, Male, Ability: Speed Boost, Egg Move: Signal Beam).

Upon closer inspection of your cagenet, you notice that two of your bindings were 100 dollar bills.

+$200

A: Do something dammit!

Hmm... I wonder where that shiney thingus went... let's wander off in this direction, it seems right!

You wander off, and come upon a large clearing. You walk in a notice two Full Revives. Excited, you immediately use them on your Geodude and Elekid. Suddeny, from out of the forest...

Steve: Hey! Jeffie! Whddaya think you're doing with my revives! Just cause I dropped 'em doesn't mean their public property...and what are you doing here anyway? Wait a second...you saw it too didn't you? Well too bad, I got here first.

Steve slowly produces a large, glowing, rainbow colored feather from his pack.

Steve: Tell you what weakling. I'm in a good mood today. If you can beat me in a pokemon battle, I'll let you have this.

A: Accept
S: Decline

Whoa! That's sweet!! I accept your challenge!!

Steve: Well then. *raises ball* Make your move.

OK... Go Ledyba!!!

Steve: A Ledyba? How cute. Go Miltank!

A: Make your move.

Ok, Ledyba, start out with a Silver Wind. Then fly up and buzz around to distract it. When you see an opening, use Giga Drain!

Ledyba uses Silver Wind and blows bug dust at Miltank. Miltank is hit, and then charges Ledyba while mooing loudly. Ledyba uses Giga Drain as Miltank hits it with a full on Tackle, sending it flying backwards.

Ok, Ledyba, now, use Silver Wind again, and fly up high where it can't reach you. Stay up high until the clouds cast a shadow right over Miltank, and use the shadow to sneak behind it. Then use Giga Drain!

Miltanks runs at Ledyba as it uses Silver Wind. Ledyba hits and flys up out of Miltank's reach. Miltanks stomps around and moos at Ledyba. Ledyba waits and waits, but there just aren't many clouds out today.

Alright Ledyba, use Silver Wind again, and then fly down as fast as you can, right at Miltank! As soon as it looks like it's going to attack, drop to the ground and rush it, using Giga Drain! If it stands down, and doesn't seem to want to attack, fly right over its head, then use Giga Drain before it turns around.
