((I have another idea for how Jerry can terrify Didi! Gonna do it now!))

Suddenly, a giant mech shaped like a Purrugly, adorned with a large red R, began rampaging through the streets, swiping at trainers and scooping up their Pokemon. People ran through the streets, but a lone individual stood in front of it, his flute in his hands and his Lucario by his side.

"Riot! Do your thing!" he cried.

The Lucario dashed forward and pressed both of its forepaws to the machine. When the mech's giant claws swooped down at him, Jerry threw out a pair of other Pokeballs, releasing a Beartic and a Wobbuffet. The Wobbuffet created a glowing shield around itself, repelling one of the mech's paws (Counter) while the Beartic took a huge swipe at the other paw with its claws (Slash), badly damaging it.

The Lucario flexed its muscles as hard as it could, and shoved the mech straight into a building (Strength).

"Great job, guys! But it's not done yet!" Jerry looks over at Didi. "Didi! We need to pin that thing down!"

( Sorry for the late post, randomly slept all day from exhaustion. I love it! )

Didi is freaking out now, having had such a weird day, and has no idea how to react to all of this action. "YOU ARE ATTACKING THAT THING? That's like a job for champ-- Crap, I beat a pokemon league once, I have to step up to the challenge of being a champion."

She pulled out a pokeball and hesitated, then pulled out another one and weighed them in each hand, trying to consider what pokemon to use.

She finally decides, looking up to notice Jerry's pokemon struggling with the mech still.

"Guess you aren't done Wormadam." She hurls her pokeball at the mech, and it bounces off, releasing Wormadam, who hangs from the Purugly's belly. "Wormadam, let's go for grass knot."

Suddenly the weeds and grass underneath the mech become animated, and reach out their leaves and stems up to grab the Purugly's giant mechanical paws.

Wurmple whimpers audibly and it occurs to Didi that maybe Grass isn't going to do the trick, so she throws the other pokeball too, less dramatically, and finally one more, releasing Durant and Forretress. Forretress is still steaming, but seems to be okay. Durant starts to have a nervous breakdown, but calms down when he spots the giant mech.

"Alright guys, time for our burial combo! Forretress, gain some air! Durant, dig under it!" The ant goes to town on the ground, spraying Didi with gravel, but makes it under in good time. At the same time, Forretress produces a powerful electromagnetic force and is launched high into the air over the mech, ( Magnet Rise. )

In the meantime, Didi notices that Beartic is starting to pant, and Wobbefett is wobbling like it was in a hurricane from the last hit.

"Alright!" She squeaks out at the top of her lungs. "Finish it!"

Durant suddenly surfaced and scurried away from the mech, trampling the gras like a maniac as he went. Then Forretress came down at incredibly high speed, creating a sonic boom on his way down, and connecting with the mech's spine, (Heavy Slam. ) Suddenly, the ground underneath the mech have way, and it's paws went crashing through into the gravelly soil. Forretress finally started spinning and pumping out sand, still in the back of the mech, ( Rapid Spin and Sand Tomb. )

Wormadam had fallen off when Forretress landed, an wiggled awkwardly out from underneath the mech.

Jerry smiled and laughed at the display. "Well, I guess that's one way to do it." He gave the order to his Lucario, "Alright! Finish it off! Remember, though, don't hurt the pilots if there are any!" The Lucario jumped into the air and lit one foot on fire before dive-kicking the mech. It On contact, it began kicking furiously until the hull gave way, allowing the Lucario to slip in, tear metal apart, and come back out with an armful of Pokeballs. "So no pilots or passengers then?" asked Jerry.
The Lucario shook his head, and the hundreds of trainers ran up to them, looking for their lost Pokemon.
"Oh crap! Return, guys!" Jerry quickly recalled his Pokemon before the mob overtook them. "Better let the authorities handle the rest of this. There are probably more Pokeballs inside." He walked over to Didi and put a hand on her shoulder. "Not bad for your first time. But if there's anything I've learned, it's that collateral damage is a big no-no." He but a gentle finger on Wormple's nose. "This little guy coulda pinned it down nicely with enough String Shot, and combined with that Grass Knot, you could have restrained it long enough for my team to properly disable it." He just laughed it off. "But live and learn. Either way, the cops have a valuable piece of evidence to look at that should soften the blow of the damage. Now come along! It's time to train!" He began dragging Didi by her arm off in some direction.

( I love the image of the arm dragging. )

Wurmple wiggled it's little arms around frustratedly, then tried to demonstrate that he was all out of string by flexing, but to an onlooker it would have just looked like he was having a seizure. But there were no onlookers, because Jerry had already turned around and started dragging Didi. Wurmple inched along furiously to keep up, then dived onto Didi's foot. He expressed his hunger then with a whine, which only Didi understood. In response, she asked Jerry, "I haven't eaten in a while and we are all out of berries... Any ideas? I've been surviving off Oran Berries, but my Wurmple needs those to produce his string."

Jerry paused suddenly, causing Didi's momentum to force her into his shoulder, head first. "Well, in that case, it's time to power up with some grub! I think I flew over a restaurant on the way here. This way!" He grabbed her by the arm again and pulled her in the direction of a diner. "We'll all get a bite to eat and then head out and train until the sun goes down! We weeded out the riff-raff, so the rest of the competition will be nothing but the best of the best!"

Once at the diner, Jerry charged in and began ordering... at random. "Hello, people! I need a couple orders of Oranberry pancakes, drizzled with Honey, two orders of sausages, scrambled eggs, and hash browns! Didi! Order up! Your turn!"

Didi blushes, unsure what she wants. Fortunately though, Wurmple hops off her shoulder and starts pointing vaguely at all the pictures. Before Didi can respond, The Waitress smiles and says, "I guess he'll have one of everything on that page! Didi doesn't have time to look what that page has before the waitress pulls out her menu from underneath Wurmple, making him do a flip in the process. "Well..." mumbles Didi, "I like surprises."

Wurmple rolls around on the table trying to get someone to pet his soft belly.

Jerry rubbed his fingers over Wormple's belly and smiled. "Oh, I can't wait for today's training! First we're gonna do warmups, then power drills, then suicides, then quick-shift drills, then sparring matches--" on and on Jerry kept spouting out more and more increasingly vague and scary-sounding drills. He finally finished listing them all off and grinned even harder. "By the time I'm through with you, your Wormple is gonna have the steam to fight dragons AND save the day from killer tanks!" Jerry's first stack of pancakes arrived, and you would thing his head would explode from smiling so much. "Thank you ma'am!" He proceeded to make quick work of said pancakes.

Wurmple had crawled under the table in fear of the training that Jerry was talking about, but when the food arrived, he poked his head around the edge o the table and went straight for the pancakes. Didi was in such a trance listening to the list of rigorous training procedures they would be undergoing that she barely had time to stop him, but he managed to snap out of it and hold Wurmple back long enough for the waitress to place down her plates and plates of food that was only recognizable to varying degrees. Wurmple dived out of her arms and started nibbling on a pie made of Sitrus Berries and covered in ice cream and some sort of leaves.

"Wow Wurmple, you have a great taste in pasta!" She dug into a giant bowl of noodles and disturbingly blue sauce. Didi was so hungry that she didn't care what she was putting in her mouth, and are until she was in too much pain to move comfortably. Wurmple was lying on his back moaning, or actually more of a bubbling sound as the bloated bug digested its meal. Jerry seemed to have finished his massive stack of pancakes too.

"I'm glad the rest of my pokemon can get food for themselves, otherwise Durant would just eat this table here."

She tried to stand up unsuccessfully, sitting back down the moment she cramped up from using her leg muscles.

Ugh, go Forretress. She let her pokeball roll out of her hand and release her pokemon, who looked at her with an unknown expression since its eyes were so unexpressive. She then slid herself over it and commanded, "Magnet Rise."

After wobbling around a bit, Forretress floated around with her limp body successfully.

"We'll split the bill, is that okay? Except... Oh crap."

Wurmple had eaten the bill.

"Waitress! We need another bill please!"

After those shenanigans at the diner, Jerry took Didi to a nice open field surrounded by trees just outside of town. "Good, now that we're all nice and fed, let's get started! Everybody out!" He threw all of his full Pokeballs into the air, where they all burst open, letting out Jerry's entire team. Lucario, Beartic, Wobbuffet, Togekiss, Raichu, and Vulpix. "Okay, everyone, get in a good stretch, because today is going to be a doozy!" His Pokemon team all took to stretch out their muscles, with Jerry offering assistance to his Togekiss, Vulpix and Wobbuffet. "Your turn, Didi. Bugs need to stretch too. But be gentle, don't stress their joints."

Didi nodded and fumbled around for her pokeballs, half juggling them to keep them all in her hands. She eventually was able to throw them all out at the same time though, releasing Forretress, Durant, Wormadam, Scizor, and Masquerain. Scizor eyed Lucario with a look of rivalry, and Durant immediately went crazy, but when it saw all the of the other pokemon around, it quieted down.

"Heh, that's my team. They are a little disadvantaged as far as type goes though. I don't like fire."

Masquerain responded with a playful Water Sport, drenching Didi's hair.

"So how do you want to start training?"

"First, we do our warm-up! G-Watt, it's time for the run, so set the pace until I say stop." Jerry's Raichu nodded and began running, all of Jerry's Pokemon following behind them on foot, even the Togekiss. Well, all save for the Wobbuffet, who just hopped very slowly, lagging behind by... a lot. "Okay! Your guys next! Follow G-Watt!"

Scizor, Masquerain, and Durant took off in a mad rush, but Wormadam, Forretress, and Wurmple looked confused. After a few moments, Wurmple started inching behind Wobbefett, and Forretress cheated by floating, but Wormadam wasn't going anywhere.

"C'mon, use your psychic powers Wormadam."

Wormadam finally rose up, but simply moved to a nearby tree and pouted. Meanwhile, Durant had veered off the past and was crashing through the bushes in circles.

the Beartic began to lug behind the others, along with the grounded Togekiss. Even so, Jerry still didn't tell them to stop. "They're looking pretty good so far." After a little more running, he finally said "Okay! That's enough!" The Pokemon all stopped to catch their breaths. Jerry's Lucario looked over at Didi's Scizor.

"Okay, guys! It's time for Power Drills! Partner up and clash attacks with each other. We'll start with projectile attacks." He pointed at his Pokemon to pair them off. "Riot, you're with G-Watt. Aura Sphere and Thunder. Jett, you're with Cola. Magical Leaf and Icicle Crash. Roxy, just practice Flame Thrower on your own. Maraca, bring up Mirror Coat over and over." He stepped back and gave the command. "Okay!! And fire!!" Jerry's team fired their attacks at each other, resulting in a thunderous crash that tore through the air. "And again!" And again, another crash.

( I'm too sleepy to respond to this right now, I had to work all day. I can't even think of a move other than string shot right now )
