章 48: Capture Niobat

Austin decided that he will definitely catch noibat. He then decided to try and bribe it with berries. The Noibat are definitely addicted to berries. Austin took out a couple of berries. He slowly brought them forward and placed them on the ground and backed away from his Pokemon.

Noibat seemed hesitant at first but then heard from eevee that its okay. Austin wasn't sure what eevee told the Noibat but at least it got it to eat. This was a start and Austin had a feeling he would succeed. Most psychic and some special Pokemon like Noibat and poipole. These Pokemon can mentally communicate with people. This would usually develop a deeper understanding of the Pokemon or human in-front of them. This allows them to know if the other person is truly sincere.

For it to have telepathy as an innate talent, makes it easier to communicate with and tame than other Pokemon. Austin began to speak with Noibat.

"Hey there little friend. Don't you feel very lonely here. Why aren't you with your own kind?" Austin said.

The Noibat seemed to show sadness. Then it stared at Austin with a bit of hostility for reminding it.

Austin quickly continued, " If you were abandoned by your kind. Why not join me? You see eevee and combusken they are my family. How about you join us? You won't have to worry about being alone and food. I make the best berry treats." Austin tries to convince this Noibat to join them without a fight. He takes out a lot more berries and brings them towards Noibat.

Noibat was a bit nervous seeing him approached. It attacked towards Austin but was sent flying by eevees take down. Austin saw how Noibat was astonished by eevee strength.

"I can also train you to be strong. You can be the strongest Noivern in history. At least I can make you stronger than those who kicked you out." Austin was betting this might work. It did work, Noibat roared a bit signifying that it agreed with him. Austin pulled out a pokeball, he was about to catch it want it roared. Austin didn't understand at first but saw combusken roar back. It seems it still wants to battle causing Austin to sigh. So much for the move berry bribe.

Combusken wanted to fight it. Austin knew that this Noibat was strong and at the peak mid-class level. It's dragon type gives it an innate increase in strength putting it at the early high-class rank. This Noibat in particular doesn't only have high speed, it also has high hp and phy. Attack stats. That's why Austin really wanted it to join there team. The second reason was that a noivern was huge as big as a Salamance. That mean he can fly through the air. Wouldn't that be great.

Combusken got ready Austin told it to use bulk up and then agility. Noibat use sonic boom. Austin had combusken to quickly switch from agility to double team. Then use hidden power. Noibat flew to the side causing the attack to miss. Austin had combusken use fire spin and then agility followed by quick attack. Noibat was trapped with in the firespin and had no time to pay attention combusken.

Surprisingly Noibat used hypervoice to disperse the fire spin. Once the fire spin was dispersed, combusken quickly attack and then slash. Noibat was hurt and tried to put some distance.

"Combusken do stop attacking flame charge!" Austin yelled.

Combusken quickly charged its whole body was covered with flames. Seeing that it could not dodge, Noibat fangs glowed and attacked head on towards combusken.

Boom! Both moves struck pushing each Pokemon to the other side. Combusken was kneeling it seems the move was quite damaging to it. The only move Austin could think of was super fang. Noibat was trying hard to fly but soon dropped to the ground. Seeing this Austin threw his pokeball. It landed on the Noibat and swallowed it inside.

Beep.....beep....the pokeball then stopped shaking and the red light ceased. Austin felt so good at this moment. In time all his Pokemon will reach the elite level. With a noivern and togekiss, Austin won't fear most dragon types. This was a good day for Austin. Austin quickly left the area due to the sounds made from their battle. He was scared he might have attracted a pokemon he cant handle.

After securing a safe area, Austin healed Combusken with a potion and brought out a lot of good food. Once they ate Austin released Noibat, "So buddy would you like to follow me. I think we would make a great team."

"Noi noi noiibat." Noibat said and flew around Austin. Austin approaches it slowly and pats it on the head. Noibat was nervous but didn't make a move. it was being watched by pokemon stronger than it. After that, Austin began healing it with a potion. Then it quietly began to feast with Combusken.

Austin gathered the group and they made their way towards the city. This was truly a fulfilling day. Austin couldn't wait to see what he and his Pokemon will be like in the coming years.
