10 Unexpected Encounter (1/2)
”Wow, so you found me, huh? Don't think you're that great!”, or something along those lines.
It then turned around and all of sudden disappeared from a spot like a ninja!
”Damn, Mr.Nyao, I can't see him. Can you track it down again?”, he asked Mr.Nyao gravely.
”*Sniff-Sniff*, Nyao!”, the Pokemon responded enthusiastically.
”Alright, let's go!”
It turned into another hot pursuit, like the police chasing the criminals, Arthur and Mr.Nyao chased tightly after the Sniebel. They crossed streets, almost ran into cars and bikes, took several turns through small alleys but thanks to Mr.Nyaos sensible olfactory abilities they didn't lose the trail that easily.
Another good thing was that the Sniebel apparently wasn't able to use the Vanishing-Move very quickly in succession, always taking a break or slower pace after its mysterious disappearance. It turned into a war attrition!
Who would lose their stamina first, Arthur or the Sniebel?
Arthur wasn't used to this amount of stress and exercise and his fatigue was quitely accumulating in his body. The Sniebel on the other hand couldn't be in a better position as it hadn't been a long time since its escape, no chance it had recovered all of its strength already.
The only real difference was Arthur .... wasn't a Pokemon. A variable that could make a huge difference.
Their hunt had been going on for like 10 minutes already, this sounds very short but be aware that both Arthur and Mr.Nyao were currently stuck in a jungle called 'City' with all kinds of obstacles and objects they needed to avoid. At the same time they needed to lock onto the closest position of that wild Sniebel that moved like the wind while being careful no to create accidents or followe the wrong path! The Sniebel wasn't chained to the same rules, hanging and climbing from one building to the next as if it was Spiderman's reincarnation!

Then at the end of one road, the scene grew wider and the party entered a completely different hot spot! It was at an intersection north of the city center, a big traffic circle reserved for cars surrounded an even bigger area that people could use for cross-walking, taking a break or doing photos.
But currently a different kind of action was taking place in this place.
Then the girl pointed at the boy angrily and her Eevee shot forward, was that an attack? Arthur was completely confused and got distracted for a second. He belatedly realized that the Sniebel was escaping right through the ongoing Pokemon battle!
Left with no other choice he headed straight into the same direction. And as he closed the distance between them Arthur noticed many more details about the fighters involved. To his astonishment, he knew the boy on the left already.
It was Khali Akiona, the guy who had visited him earlier. His dark skin and his alolan T-shirt clearly distinguished him from other people. On the other hand, he couldn't recognize the girl at all. Except for her red twin tails that made her look quite special, she gave off a vibe of superiority and power, hinting towards a great background.
He waved towards Khali, trying to get his attention. Khali noticed him and waved back. He tried saying something but the distance was still too great, Arthur didn't understand anything at all.
Then he turned his eyes back towards the Pokemon that were clashing with each other.
The Eevee was fast and attempted several quick dashes to get closer to its target.
Khali wasn't daydreaming and promptly told his partner:
”Webster, use String Shot to slow down its movements!”, following which the Spinarak obeyed and shot out strings to prevent Eevee coming further. Its reaction was bit slower, but its precise and accurate aim compensated for this small disadvantage.
Most attacks didn't hit at all, the Eevee was quick to react and dodged the linear projectiles in a timely manner as if it was just a walk in the park. But this time it was quantity over quality!
Before the girl or her Eevee could respond or enact any countermeasures they were already surrounded by small area full of sticky strings. Wouldn't be easy to get out without being slowed down now! Every step could cost precious seconds wasted on getting rid of the strings. Time the opponent could use to inflict more damage.
The situation seemed hopeless at first but the Eevee was then throwing mocking looks towards the opponent's team:
”Is this all you can do? Hmpf, laughable!”, it seemed saying.
”Evette, use sand attack!”, the girl shouted out a command.
”Eerrrie!”, the Eevee answered faithfully.
Arthur couldn't really see what was actually happening in that moment, but suddenly from one second to the next a whirl of sand and dust surged from the ground with Eevee at its centre!
The whirl wasn't big, only knee-level tall, but it was gushing out from a never-ending source and in a matter of seconds it had fully covered the former sticky surface!
”What the fuck ....”, Arthur's mind couldn't keep up with reality. How did a small creature just summon something like that?! This was the first time he witnessed a Pokemon move that bordered on the supernatural realm far from reality. Or at least the reality his mind was comfortable with.
Anyway, the battle continued on. The Eevee was now capable to cross the field without worry and returned to confront the Spinarak.
Disinclined towards a close combat confrontation, Khali warned his partner not to get too close with the Eevee and gave another command:
”Use strings to swing from place to place Webster! Don't let that Eevee near you!”
His Spinarak understood and used a string shot from its mouth to pull itself towards a lamppost nearby. Up above the duo continued with their long-distance tactics. Sometimes changing from strings shots to smaller omnious looking projectiles. Poison Sting!
The Eevee avoided all of them, unimpressed.
”Don't think you are unreachable and safe in that high place, cowards!”, the girl expressed with gritted teeth,
