Gertrude scowled when the Nidoran refused her food. What a stubborn little thing! She didn't want to leave the starving creature here but also found the idea of giving him the Seedot distasteful. She pulled out a Pokeball, seeing no other choice. "Come along, Ophelia!"The Skitty squirmed as her dainty pads touched the cold ground, giving a grumpy hiss. It wasn't until she saw the handsome Nidoran before her that she brightened and gave a happy meow. "Use Sing to put him to sleep, darling!"If she could put him to sleep and possibly capture him, she could take him to safety. She'd release him once he was better, of course, unless he wanted to stay. But he seemed like a little brat, to be frank. Ophelia sang in her cutest voice to the starving Nidoran, hoping her lullaby would knock him out cold. Such a shame Gertrude hadn't told her to use Attract, though. Mrowr. Ophelia used Sing!

Nidoran's large ears were the perfect receptors for Skitty's lullaby. Before he knew it, his eyelids were starting to droop. He let out a yawn.
<So... very tired...> he muttered, shooting Seedot one last hungry look before falling fast asleep.

Gertrude didn't waste any time at chucking a Poke Ball at the snoring Nidoran. Though she couldn't hurry this part of the process, she clenched her fists, as if trying to make it stay closed. Then it was off to the Pokemon Center. It was so close, but she had no clue how much time the Seedot had left. Ophelia seemed completely oblivious to the life or death struggle taking place and was completely occupied with the dirt marring her paws. She planted her bottom on the ground and proceeded to groom herself, licking between each toe before placing it back on the ground and going to another. She wasn't the fastest Rapidash in the bunch. Gertrude used PRESS DOWN+B!!!!! Ophelia used Lick Herself.

As the Pokeball was chucked at the Nidoran its body twitched a bit as he was sucked in.
Inside though it appeared he still had some fight left him him because the Pokeball stopped moving, but not because it caught him but because it popped open again and the sleeping Nidoran was snoring away on the ground once more. Better try again or leave, the sleeping poison type might wake up again.

Gertrude huffed as the Nidoran re-appeared following the sound of her breaking ball. Yes, he was a stubborn little thing indeed!
But old women are also known to be stubborn and she tossed another ball at the Nidoran. If the creature didn't have poisonous spines along his back, she would have just carried or dragged him to the Pokemon Center. Of course, the Nidoran might not have enjoyed it but she was taking him to the doctor, Heaven help her.
Once both the Seedot and Nidoran were healthy, she'd release them back on the route and hopefully they would go into hibernation or store food to keep themselves safe for the rest of the winter.

Wiggle, wiggle....As the ball wobbled back and forth, the tiny nidoran began to stir, alarmed to find itself suddenly locked away in a pokeball. This was not what he wanted! <No,let me out! I...I have to eat...> the small poison type whispered, struggling against the pokeball again, hoping maybe to break out again. He was a weak pokemon though, and being as hungry as he was just didn't have the strength to keep fighting the pokeball. With a disappointed sigh he felt his resistance slip, the pokeball letting out a single satisfying ping signalling his imprisonmentcapture. ::nidoranm:: Level: 4 Gender: Male Abilities: Poison Point, Rivalry Attacks: Leer, Peck

Gertrude let out a sigh as the ball clicked shut. Part of her felt bad for taking the Nidoran against his will....but he needed help, didn't he? Had she done the right thing? Hurriedly, she recalled Ophelia and went to place the ball containing Nidoran in her bag. Snow clouds were forming overhead as she scurried off to the city. ((Continued here.)) [/justify]

((From here.)) With her errands finished and her team healthy and spry, Gertrude returned to Route 1. She crunched through the snow, marking a path between the trees. Seedot bounced along behind her, trying to hop in her footsteps, obviously feeling better. On top of his head was a knitted hat - a present from Gertrude, and it kept most of his stubby body warm and toasty. "Alright, this should be far enough." Gertrude released two Pokeballs, one with Juliet and the other with Nidoran. The purple rabbit swiveled his huge ears nervously before realizing he was back on his home route. Gertrude gathered her dress so it wouldn't get wet in the snow, and knelt down. "Nidoran, Seedot, you're both healed now. I tried to help, even though you didn't really want it." She smiled down at the poison-type. "It's up to the both of you now. Whether you'd like to stay here in the wild or travel around with this rocking granny."After enjoying the snowflakes on her wings, Juliet settled on Gertrude's shoulder. In case one of them (most likely Nidoran) wanted to fight, she was ready. Would Seedot and Nidoran like to Stay or Go?

The Seedot was quite happy at the moment. He had an affectionate human being not only save him from the cold but also give him an awesome hat! He spin around happily but then stopped when Gertrude asked him that question.
<"Should I stay or go? I like Grandma so I want to stay with you! Besides, mean Pokemon like him won't be able to get me!"> said the Seedot. He had such a child-like disposition it was almost impossible to resist his charm. The Nidoran♂ grunted at the Acorn Pokemon's comments. ::nidoranm:: <"Whatever. You were gonna die anyway. Might as well have ended up as my lunch,"> he replied with a glare. The Seedot glared back and the both were back to being mortal enemies again.

A large smile appeared on Gertrude's face upon realizing the darling little Seedot wished to stay. Her crow's feet and sagging eyebrows threatened to swallow her eyes but she didn't mind. The Nidoran was another matter. She didn't particularly enjoy the creature's company and he was nothing more than an ungrateful brat. 'His mother must not have taught him manners,' she supposed. She was going to shoo him away or fuss at him for bothering poor little Seedot when she heard a clicking noise. Ophelia the Skitty appeared on top of Gertrude's pocketbook and meowed pitifully. <Oh, Nidoran, please tell me you'll stay~ I don't know what I'd do without you, nyo~> Oh dear, it seems that Ophelia's crush on Nidoran has blossomed into a one-sided devotion. Ophelia is making a very sad pouty face at Nidoran.

The Seedot was glad that Gertrude was smiling. That means he was doing something right! However, this Poison Pin Pokemon was being so rude! What was an Acorn Pokemon to do? It was then that Ophelia, the Skitty, jumped out of her Poké Ball and confessed her love for the Nidoran♂! It was like something out of the show called "All My Eevees!" ::nidoranm:: <"W-What? You want me to stay? Why me? Doesn't your Trainer think I'm a rude little brat?"> he asked. He was honestly confused at this whole turn of events. Don't Pokemon and their Trainers think alike? He blushed at this thought but was vehemently against it! ::nidoranm:: <"W-Why would I want to stay around with an old lady and her annoying acorn?"> he asked. He tried to hide his embarrassment but it definitely wasn't working.

Ophelia glanced up to her trainer who was looking down at the two of them curiously. What she'd do to be able to understand them!
The Skitty grimaced as she recalled Gertrude's unkind words. The older woman hadn't even stopped to consider Nidoran's feelings in all this; she'd only seen a bully and a fragile young Seedot. "She'd probably be nicer to you if you were nicer to Seedot. She doesn't understand how hard it is to be a wild Pokemon, is all, nyo~" Her words were unusually perceptive and wise, as cats (but not Skittys) tended to be.

The Seedot was bewildered at Ophelia still. Why in the world would she like such a mean-spirited Pokemon like Nidoran♂? Instead of speaking, he decided to his behind Gertrude's skirt. The Poison Pin Pokemon was still flushed and had no idea how to respond to a girl liking him. ::nidoranm:: <"I guess she wouldn't understand a Wild Pokemon, huh? That Seedot is the brat here! All he does is instigate me which is why I'm so bent on just eating him,"> said the Nidoran♂.

Ophelia giggled at how flustered she was making Nidoran. He was just too cute! She bounded around to the other side of Gertrude's skirt, trying to sneak up on him, before giving him a lick on his nose. <I don't see what's so swell about the forest, anyways,> she said matter-of-factly. <It just makes your paws dirty and the food is icky, nyuck!> She wrinkled her little face and stuck out her tongue in distaste. Why would a Pokémon choose to eat squishy bugs over pleasant kibble? Gertrude chuckled at the two of them, surprised that the Nidoran wasn't attacking. Perhaps he wasn't a mean-spirited Pokémon and was just a scared and hungry one instead. With the way Ophelia was fawning over him, surely he wasn't too bad. Meanwhile, Juliet left her perch on Gertrude's shoulder. There was a small rock under a bush that caught her attention...or that was what she thought until she got closer. <An egg!> Being a bird, she did what any other bird would do, and sat on it, ruffling her feathers to keep it warm. It was only natural, after all. Ophelia gave Nidoran a kiss! Juliet found an Egg!Incubated for 1 post.

The Nidoran was about to say something else when the Skitty kissed him, he blinked and stared off into space before he shook his head. <I, uh, I dunno.> He replied uncertainly. He wasn't sure how a life as a grandma's Trainer's Pokémon was. So he still was very uncertain what to do at this point.

Just as Ophelia was about to burst into tears, Gertrude recalled her. "No need to guilt-trip the poor darling." She gestured for the Nidoran and Seedot to follow her before sitting down on a stump. Stooping for long periods of time was difficult on her back, after all. "Now I'm going to tell you both a little story. Once upon a time, there was a young man and a young woman who were very much in love. The man wanted to become a great Pokemon trainer and he taught the woman everything he knew. But before his dream could come true, the woman surprised him with a baby!
"He gave up on becoming a Pokemon Master to support his family and many happy years passed with the two of them together." Her voice began to crack and she set her jaw. There would be no crying, no sirree. "When the man died, the woman couldn't stand to say in that lonely house. And she took off to try her luck in being a great Trainer." Here she smiled down at the pair of young Pokemon. "But I don't want any Pokemon on my team who doesn't want to travel with me. We're all partners and we all have to help each other become stronger." Her unsaid question hung in the air - was the Nidoran up to this? Juliet, hidden in the bushes with her new Egg, heard her trainer's story and she swelled with pride. Gertrude had told her that her first Pokemon had been a Wingull but she'd never realized how long ago it had been. She gently cooed to the Egg, already thinking of it as hers. <You're going to be part of a great family when you hatch.>Juliet is still sitting on her Egg.Incubated for 2 posts.

The Nidoran♂ was actually listening intently to Gertrude's words. At first, he thought it was just some made-up story to try to convince him to join but then it sounded...personal. A batty old woman who would share something like that certainly wouldn't have wasted it on someone like him without a reason. This Ophelia seemed to really like him... ::nidoranm:: <"I-I just have one condition. I still want to be able to hunt for myself so my skills don't get rusty. O-Other than that I-I can..."> he began. He took a deep breath and exhaled. <"Stay.">
- Nidoran♂ decided to stay!

Gertrude worried for a moment that he would sprint off and break Ophelia's heart. But then he exhaled and seemed to resign himself to the life of a tamed Pokemon. "Welcome to the family. It's good to have you aboard." There was only one thing left for her to do now. She took an empty Poke Ball and opened it for Seedot. She had to make his capture official, after all. Then she'd have to think of nicknames for them both. And then they needed to stop for a snack! Goodness, she'd forgotten how busy the life of a Trainer was, and how difficult it could be to keep so many mouths fed. Almost knowing that Gertrude was thinking of food, Juliet's own stomach began to growl. She could probably take off and grab some nice fish, but then she would risk the Egg getting cold. <Whoever laid it should have built a nest.> It was a good thing she'd come along when she had. Juliet is getting peckish but still isn't going to leave.Incubated for 3 posts. [/justify]

The Seedot saw that Gertrude pulled out a Poké Ball and he knew it was his turn. She opened the Poké Ball for him and all that was left to do was for him to jump right on in. He jumped towards it and the Poké Ball reacted by absorbing the Acorn Pokemon into itself. The Poké Ball shook several times but then that familiar click sound was heard. Seedot was captured! ::seedot:: Level: 8 Gender: Male Ability 1: Chlorophyll Ability 2: Early Bird Attacks: Bide, Harden, Growth

Gertrude stared down at the pile of red-and-white balls for a moment, overwhelmed with emotion. Before her were seven balls for seven Pokémon. Her Pokémon. One as her starter, three received as gifts, and now three caught. Oh, her dear William would be so proud of her! A few drops of rain hitting her ruined her moment and she saw rainclouds in the skies above. "At least it's not cold enough to snow yet." But the sun was beginning to set and it would surely grow cold soon. It was time for the next part of her journey, and that was pitching a tent. But first she needed to find a suitable spot. Long ago, her darling William had drilled it into her head to find higher ground for a tent, especially if rain was imminent. And Gertrude didn't have much time, based on the drizzle picking up. She got up to find such a spot but a familiar squawk stopped her. Oh yes, her Wingull was still around here somewhere! How forgetful! "Juliet, whatever are you doing in the bushes? Come out and help me find a campsite." But the bird shook her head. <An Egg, I've found an Egg! I must sit on it!> No force on Earth, not even an irate and wet old woman, would keep her away. "Say...what are you sitting on there?" Gertrude pulled aside a few branches to get a better look and clear as day, Juliet was sitting on top of an egg! It was plain with green spots and she had no clue what could possibly be inside. "What a prize you've found, girl! We'll have to take good care of it so it will hatch."With an indignant cry, Juliet was removed from her egg and Gertrude wrapped it in the scarf which she'd used previously to keep it warm. "I'll give it back once you find me a place to pitch a tent."Juliet wasted no time taking to the sky and using her keen eyes to scout below. ----------- "Just like home, isn't it, Juliet?" The tent was big enough for two people, but Gertrude was discovering it a tight squeeze with herself, seven Pokemon, and an egg. After they all ate a simple dinner of dried fruit, cheese, bread, and water, the group settled down for relaxation. Once Gertrude placed the egg in the corner where it wouldn't be bothered, and used her scarf to make a nest, Juliet hopped right back on top. A gentle downpour on the tent eased some of the tension going on between the Pokémon. They were just meeting each other, after all. There was still much butt-sniffing and grumbling as personal space was invaded and they each tried to pick the best sleeping spot. Gertrude pulled her sleeping bag up further to keep herself warm. She had just figured out how to work out the contraption called a PokeDex and reading the descriptions of her new team. "I believe I've decided names for each of you." Four heads turned towards Gertrude - for Ophelia, Juliet, and Lysander already knew their names. "Surskit, you remind me quite a bit of my husband. He was always being a show-off and you were doing the same when we first met. I'm going to call you William." William had been in the process of letting another round of bubbles loose in the tent and was so startled that he choked. Gertrude looked at her other bird Pokemon, a leak-less Farfetch'd. "Hamlet is what I'm going to name you. And don't fret, dear, we'll find you a stick soon." He sniffed rather haughtily, for what could a human know about sticks? The Seedot and Nidoran both looked at their new trainer expectantly. Seedot was tickled pink at getting a name while Nidoran just hoped it wouldn't be something stupid like 'Scruffy'. "Seedot, you're now Benvolio. And Nidoran is Tybalt." Benvolio chirped with joy and Tybalt merely sighed. "She could have picked a worse name," he thought. "Now let's all settle down for the night, and then tomorrow we'll head for town." With a grunt, Gertrude rolled over and was promptly snoring. Incubated for 4 posts.
