Description ERA CHAPTER II Magnetic Intensification  

400 Days A.A.D.
  
1:25 pm  
         
                           
        It was still very cloudy weather in the wasteland. A shiny Zoroark, who after being in a retreat, was now seeing something flying dangerously fast in her direction. The thing was a Pokémon, a non Enerve, she waited to see if it would stop in the moment it sees her in their way, but it didn't.

        "HEY! STOP! What’s the h-" The Zoroark yelled and waved her arm, she then thought having to use an Illusion to get their attention. However it was too late, that Pokémon was about to collide with her, so she didn't have much choice but to jump right and dodge it.

        "AHHH!" the Zoroark stood in battle stance after the evasion, thinking the Pokémon tried to attack her “Are you blind or are you just insane!?” Zoroark said in an angry tone, ready to attack back.

        However this Pokémon after getting past the Zoroark, finally noticed her. It suddenly stopped and turned around to look at that Pokémon, with whom it almost crashed into. 

        The Zoroark, still in a basic battle stance, looked back at the Pokémon, she could see now it was a Magnezone, a sane one and just three feet tall. His antenna was silvery and his steel body was bright. Though this Magnezone didn't have that awful grey scheme characteristic of an Enervemon, she could notice something odd about it. She then quickly realized, he was a shiny Pokémon just like her, but even with this, the Zoroark glanced at the Magnezone angrily, while he has been looking back at her with an obviously cocky face.

        "I can see you are not of those dang things, but what the hell is your problem!?" The Zoroark decided to talk to him, instead of simply responding with an attack for almost colliding with her.

        "A civilian like you better call us Sarge. We are one of the Próceres with the highest rank, and if we almost crashed with you, sorry about that. With all the Enerves around, we shouldn't be going slowly right? Also let’s say we’re in an emergency, didn't you hear our sirens? We are trying to find our Scrafty partner, have you seen him?" The Magnezone didn't take too long to give a very lengthy reply. He had a robotic yet cheerful voice. The Zoroark was pretty confused due to all the information Sarge was giving to her, but especially to the way this Magnezone was referring himself as we. She couldn't help to answer him with another question.

      "The sirens? All you did was to throw yourself towards me, shithead!" the Zoroark shouted; the Magnezone looked at his two frontal magnets and shook of them. 

        "Oh, I think these aren't working anymore after all… our deepest apologies." He responded sounding disappointed.

        "W-wait a minute, are you a cop or something?” the Zoroark stammered when she realized Sarge could be a cop, stepping back as she was getting the feeling that the Magnezone could get her put in custody, or arrested for insulting him. She also decided to quietly hide her mini-ethers in her hair mane.

        "We used to be cops, part of the Special Forces; Quera’s PokéCop Unite has been gone for a while, like a lot of other stuff as you should be aware. We told you already we belong to the Próceres now, so again have you seen a Scrafty or not?" the Magnezone asked again while began to move around the Zoroark, like if he were inspecting her.

        "If you mean a sane Scrafty, I've not seen one around, Sarge." The Zoroark now called the Magnezone by his name like he suggested. "And the Próceres you say? Don’t you mean the Miserables?" the Zoroark stood still looking to the front as she spoke, not even turning her head to see the Magnezone moving around her, feeling slightly intimidated and wanting to avoid any trouble.

        "No no no!" The Magnezone responded with denial and stopped inspecting her, to now levitate in front of the Zoroark, getting to talk with her calmly and directly. "Those you mentioned are just our rivals. In our opinion they are not good people. They even have a serial killer between them and all.”

        "I can tell…" the Zoroark mumbled to herself after Sarge's declaration. 

        "So what's your name, ID, species, age, and where do you live? Oh and I believe you are an Independiente, how come you are still alive in an almost deserted place like Quera’s Wasteland?" Sarge then got close and personal to the Zoroark; he was interested in knowing everything about her.

        "I could ask the same about you” she referred to his last question, starting to get annoyed by the interrogatory, and to the way Sarge acted for being an ex-cop. “My name is Beatrix, I think that’s all I’m going to tell you. Also what do you mean by Independiente exactly? Why do you call me that?" Beatrix asked feeling puzzled as pushed Sarge gently away from her with a foreclaw.

        "Uhm… to anyone that is not a Miserable or a Prócer, like us, they’re called an Independiente. Everybody knows that" Sarge explained to Beatrix.

        "Well, I guess that I am." She said with a bored tone, understanding but not seeing it as a big deal.

        "And that is why, we have a request for you" Sarge said looking very content.

        Beatrix didn't reply to this. She just crossed her arms and glanced at Sarge, waiting for whatever the Magnezone was going to ask her. She doesn't like rejecting requests until she knows what they are about, yet she’s not eager to do favors to others.

        "Join us, the Próceres. We are looking for more new members in our Survival group. You would be great to have as an ally!" Sarge exclaimed happily, waving his magnets with an eager joy. 

        After that being said, all Beatrix did was burst into laughter and start to walk off, getting back on track the way she was headed before encountering Sarge. She planned to leave him alone without saying anything else. Sarge decided to follow her, being persistent.

      "Is that a No? We didn't mean to say anything funny. Not to mention we can't really detect any kind of dialect or sarcasm" The Magnezone asked worried.

        "You got it right though, it’s a no" Beatrix responded coldly, annoyed and not laughing anymore. Beatrix has now stopped to look up at Sarge, and stopped taking him seriously "I got a reason for why I didn't even try to join the Miserables. What makes you think I'd be part of a group I don't even know?” Beatrix asked while she walked, not even turning around a single time to look at her follower.

        Sarge was mute to her words, he wasn't taking no for an answer though, so he still followed her. Beatrix noticed this so she continued talking. 

        "Perhaps you should drop this and look for your friend, maybe the only way I would end up joining you is, if you defeated me in a battle or something..." she mumbled. After hearing that, Sarge stopped and began to charge an electric current from his magnets, without Beatrix noticing as she just kept with talking at Sarge. "...but forget that, that is not how I roll, also you better stop following me or else I might kick your shiny-AHHHHHHH!" Beatrix suddenly screamed, as result of a Thundershock attack right into her back. 

        After the unexpected attack, Beatrix turned around but barely. She was now angry and bolts of electricity were shooting out of her, a severe injury. Her hair got bits of frizz due the electricity. What struck her the most was that she got attacked from behind, and Beatrix is not a fan of surprise attacks.

        Sarge approached and aimed his magnets at Beatrix. He floated above her, with a malicious look in all of his three eyes, looking now way different than just minutes ago. 

        "FUCKING BASTARD, why you-" Beatrix was unable to finish the sentence, due the searing pain of the electric attack. She stood in a battle pose, her legs were shaky.

        "What’s wrong? You asked for a battle!" Sarge stated while looking down at Beatrix, probably waiting for her to give up now, since he didn't attack again yet.

        "FOOL! You don’t know that fighting here is dangerous!? That’s what YOU want then?" Beatrix groaned, deciding to finish this quickly by teaching the Magnezone a lesson. The Zoroark moved her lips as if chewing something, and then suddenly she blew a huge Flamethrower at the Magnezone who was almost right in front of her. The spectacular stream of flames hit directly Sarge and sent him flying away, like a comet. 

        "BZZZZZZZT!" was the noise coming from Sarge while being blown away, spinning and his metallic body enveloped by flames. Beatrix had a surprised face when she saw Sarge simply falling on the ground at some yards from her.

        "Oh, it’s over already?" Beatrix said with a bit of remorse while brushed her hair with her claws. She could see the burning Magnezone at the distance, now apparently quiet as the effects of the previous electric attack began to subside of her. Beatrix now thought maybe overdid on the Magnezone. 

        After few seconds passed, Sarge got up and came back quickly to fight back, making sure he wouldn't simply get defeated with one hit. He was coming now faster than the time when he almost crashed with Beatrix.

        "Oh! You’re really stubborn you know!?" Beatrix said annoyed while the Magnezone approached, she had ready another flamethrower in her maw, awaiting the right moment to shoot, but Sarge prepared his move as well.

        "Magnetization!" he shouted while his antenna now emitted white bolts towards the sky, his magnets detached from Sarge’s body and each aimed at her individually, they were shining grey and flashing bright.

        Beatrix walked back when she heard Sarge’s shout, realized he was using a move of an odd yet powerful nature which she hasn't seen before. 

        "No way…" the fire extinguished of her maw when Beatrix mumbled, she then did some proper footwork in preparation to evade his attack. Sarge followed by shooting a powerful looking silver beam at Beatrix, the shot made a deafening sound.

        "IS THAT YOUR ENERMOVE?" She yelled and attempted to evade it by jumping over it. Inconveniently, the pain of the Thundershock attack from before struck on her again, stopping her from jumping too high. 

        "I did it!?" She thought and looked down at that powerful beam passing below her. She saw that her feet were right above the attack but after half a second of relief, she panicked. “NO!” she shouted as soon she saw the tip of her huge mane didn't manage to evade the tremendous beam and got hit. Beatrix thought it wouldn't matter but then for some reason she was getting pulled towards the attack, as if the beam grabbed her hair.

        "NO! WHAT IS THI-?" she yelled before getting ‘absorbed’ by that ultimate skill. The beam somehow dragged Beatrix’s whole body in just by the tip of her mane. Beatrix’s fur and skin started aching while her body was invaded by hundreds of electric volts, putting Beatrix in a world of pain. There wasn't much she could do about it now, once the beam subsided, her vision began to darken and overtaken by the pain, then she passed out falling flat on the dusty ground. 

        Beatrix’s fur turned silvery and shinier than before, a bit of smoke rose out of her. Her body began to autonomously move towards Sarge, who on his end, was exhausted and scared as he started to pool over with regret.

        Several minutes later, Sarge was now at least a mile from the place he had his battle. Not alone though, he had attached the fainted body of Beatrix on his back, there wasn't a limb or anything at all she could grab on of Sarge, she was attached back to back on Sarge by magnetism.

        "Again, we're sorry it had to be like this, I'll make sure you feel better once we reach there, we must go faster, the battle might have attracted some Enervemon... just hope the Leader doesn't get mad at us again." Sarge said to Beatrix, who couldn't listen to him at all due her unconscious state, so he carried her all the way through the wasteland towards a quite peculiar looking facility.

Nice. I like how the picture looks like a clip from an old movie.

Funny. When Sarge talked, I already did his voice in my head with a metalic, cyber voice, before you said anything about his voice.

First problem I seen was that you revealed Beatrix's name before she even says what her name is. lol We don't yet know her name, yet you didn't refer to her as the Zoroark, when you said her name, just said 'Beatrix'.

Next problem, I found was when you had Sarge silence to her rejecting his request. You had no needs for the ellipse, since he said nothing, just need to say how he was shocked and surprised by the rejection.

So far, other then that, you missed certain words like 'He', 'She', 'her', to better tell who is being detailed and talked about.
