Chapter 4
"OK so...my portable holes put people to sleep..." said AfroSquirrel.
"Yes, it's the Pokemon attack Dark Void. You mean you hadn't heard of it?"
"No."
"Oh, well, whatever, DEWOTT USE HYDRO PUMP!"
Dewott let loose a massive torrent of water from its mouth, but it missed completely. Squirrel smirked.
"God dammit..." groaned GenesisSaga. "Welp, last resort time." She sighed and flashed AfroSquirrel.
Afrosquirrel's jaw dropped. "USE SHELL BLADE!" she screamed. And this time it worked, for Dewott used its shortsword shell...things to maximum effect, decapitating AfroSquirrel with a raw display of strength.
"Good...good..." said GenSag. "Dewott, return." Dewott was returned to his Pokeball and she approached Arcanine to check if he was OK. She tried to shake him awake, but nothing doing. It was a somehow deeper sleep than usual...

On the sharp spoon, Minio sampled a fine wine while Comm watched jealously.

JeffRaze was headed down the side of a long street securely behind his riot shield. He had elected to play this game cautiously for he knew that, at any moment, he could be ambushed. He was in a downtown area and every building, every nook and cranny, could hold a potential enemy. So Jeff moved slowly, protecting his front and left side with the riot shield. In his other hand he held a devastating magnum.
He heard movement coming around a corner just ahead of him, and stayed stock still, crouching behind the shield and extending his arm in front of him. He tried to stop his arm from shaking but he was unable to do so. He cursed himself, for he knew his aim must remain steady.
BBallman7 also knew somebody was around the corner - he had heard the sudden intake of breath, the planting of the riot shield firmly on the ground. He changed his pace, slowing down and creeping towards the corner of the building. He raised his own magnum slowly and quickly poked it around the corner, firing it.
JeffRaze saw another magnum suddenly appear and panicked, shooting at it. Both shots fired at exactly the same time and hit their targets. The magnums both flew into the air, and both men yelped in pain as their wrists had been severely sprained by the impact.
BBallman recovered first and used his other weapon, a Morningstar, to try and bludgeon JeffRaze before he could get his defences up. JeffRaze saw him just in time, however, and raised the Riot Shield, knocking him away.
The Morningstar was a unique weapon in that the sharp, pointy bit was on a chain - meaning BBallman could get around JeffRaze's defence. JeffRaze, however, had no intention of being purely defensive and advanced on BBallman, thrusting his Riot Shield forward in attempt to overpower his opponent. BBallman only just dodged out of the way, and JeffRaze spun quickly, only just managing to deflect the vicious blow that BBallman aimed at him with his Morningstar.
BBallman did not let up, swinging again and again. The Morningstar finally landed a cut on JeffRaze's shoulder, but JeffRaze barely felt it, such was his adrenaline. BBallman's next swing was so wild that he took his arm a long way to the left, and JeffRaze quickly worked out that BBallman could only swing the weapon one way on the return journey. So he flipped his Riot Shield sideways and charged at BBallman full on.
