"Well, maybe I should have thought of that, instead of packing so many clothes.... I think I have something in here... AHA!" exclaimed Sophia, taking out a few stale biscuits from her coat pocket and sharing one with Conduit before devouring one herself, though this was the only food she had. Despite that, she placed one at her feet for the Seedot to try. It might not be to her liking, a simple, plain biscuit, but she found the acorn's honestly refreshing. It amused her to be called a goof by a tiny acorn, though she couldn't think for the life of her why that was the case. ::shinx::

::seedot:: ::rattata:: Pkmn encounter ! The acorn pokemon laughed at the sight of the human and shinx digging into the odd looking, brown things she'd just dug out of her pocket. <You must be glad I was here to remind you to check your bag,> The acorn said, winking teasingly.
He passed one of the odd things toward her. Although she was already quite full, she performed the courtesy of coming forward and sampling a minute piece of it. To be blunt, it was the oddest thing she'd ever eaten. <It's, uh... well, I'm full anyway. Already ate, you know.> She said, declining the offer of the stale biscuit. It'd go to waste if she ate it and hardly enjoyed it.
The acorn pushed the piece of bread toward Talis.
However, in that same moment a hungry Rattata caught the scent of food in the air. He was only a few feet away and the sound of his hungry stomach had been his driving force for a while - until now, for he had caught the smell of something quite delicious. He stepped forward, careful not to disturb anything under his feet, and looking through the bushes discovered the bread that Seedot had shoved.
Without thinking the rodent pounced forward and snatched the food in his mouth, hissing a warning toward the seedling. The little acorn, too shocked to speak, gave a squeak of distress and hurried behind a rock in fear.
Rattata stole the bread!

Sophia blinked, her mind taking a few seconds to register what was happening, before she realized that the Rattata had stolen the bread she had offered Seedot, and what was more, was hissing at her! >How rude!< squeaked Conduit. Sophia wasn't about to let the rat get away with that. She returned Conduit to his Pokeball and threw another, releasing her new Wurmple, Alex. As Alex saw the Rattata's vicious, hungry face, he squeaked in terror and curled up into a ball, but as Sophia encouraged him, he slowly uncurled himself from his defensive position. Sophia wanted to trap the greedy rat in one place before she had to fight it. She wanted to exhaust the non-violent options first. "Alex. String Shot." The pink worm obeyed, sending out a spray of white towards the Rattata. Alex used String Shot.

Some of the String Shot got caught on his head and fur like a sticky mist of little threads, and with an annoyed shake, found that it wasn't about to come off easily. It was thin and weak, and he felt that if it was in a large amount, it would be heavy enough to really slow him down. Turning towards his attacker with teeth exposed, his eyes fixated on the shriveling Wurmple before him. He looked like easy prey, actually. Perhaps eating the worm was a better idea.
<How about I eat you over a toasty fire?> The hungry Rattata snickered, his tummy rumbling in agreement. Taking a devious step forward, not prepared to show the Wurmple any mercy, he charged at with a plain and boring Tackle attack.
His tiny purple paws kicked up the dirt behind him as he ran forward in excitement, his tail swishing excitedly in the air and all of his fur sticking up in full attention. His body was already reacting to the tense situation, and he was ready to get a free meal out of it.

Alex cried out in pain as he was sent skidding back, using his suction caps to get purchase on the ground. Sophia yelled out at him. "Keep going, Alex! Poison Sting!" Staring at the Rattata, the red protruding part of Alex's head began to grow a bright purple. Sophia looked at Seedot. "Hey. Get behind me. It's safer." She smiled warmly at the little acorn moments before Alex unleashed a hail of purple needles from his head. ::wurmple:: Wurmple used Poison Sting. [/B]

Though it was true that the Rattata had been rather good at battling up until now, it had the weakness of a many wild Pokémon. They were uneducated in the art of battle. He merely fought to feed himself, and didn't bother learning anything more than the absolute basics. Knowing that he had to lower his opponent's defense somehow, he backed up and started to wiggle his tail. The Tail Whip looked a bit goofy, and it was humiliating, but it had good results if you kept using it.
Despite the act, the Poison Sting had no trouble reaching him. He was about to use another Tackle when the onslaught covered his entire body, mixing with the light spray of String Shot. He hissed as he tried to scratch some of the needles off of him, glaring at the Wurmple furiously.
How dare it do that to him! How dare it! Now his fur was a complete mess, and it would take days to get this crap out of it. Sure, he wasn't the cleanest looking Rattata around these parts, but he didn't like being a slob either. Stupid bug. He paid no mind to the Seedot, who fled quickly from the rock to Sophia, wincing as she hid behind her legs. She sure felt safer knowing that she was there to protect her.

Sophia stood in front of the Seedot, determined not to let the Rattata get to her as Alex swayed at the Tail Whip, feeling his defenses drop as he involuntarily let his guard down. Sophia grimaced. "Alex! If they're gonna lower your stats, we're gonna lower theirs! String Shot and Poison Sting, as fast as you can!" she yelled. Alex, eager to please, unleashed another flurry of thick white string, hoping to slow the rat down, before unleashing another barrage of violet needles, aiming for the Rattata's face without mercy. ::wurmple:: Alex used String Shot and Poison Sting.

The Rattata was lucky enough to see the String Shot coming, since he was a safe distance away from not using an offensive move the previous turn. He snickered as he began to leap to the side, but faltered when the heavy String Shot on his back slowed him down just enough for the next move to spray itself on his tail. Groaning in annoyance, the Rattata made a dramatic tug to free some of the loose string from the ground, and with a glare at the Wurmple, knew that he had to strike fast.
Starting off with a smooth and steady jog to get closer to the Wurmple, he snickered as the Poison Sting was shot out. That was then he jumped into 'Quick Attack' mode where his body became a purple blur, and the String Shots from before had no effect while he was in this state. Grinning at his speed, he zig-zagged around the needles and made a beeline for his opponent.
Funny how it was red; like a target. With dark black eyes, it looked like the perfect bullseye to mark his success. As soon as he beat this thing, he was more than happy to eat it. Hey, Pokemon had to survive around here. Don't judge a guy.

Alex squeaked in pain as the quick attack hit him faster than the rather slow little worm could dodge. Sophia gasped in concern as Alex skidded back, closing his eyes as he winced in pain. "Come on, Alex!" yelled Sophia. "Don't let that scrawny rat get the better of you! String Shot and Poison Sting again!"Alex felt his confidence increase as he launched yet another barrage of string at the Rattata, before sending another volley of purple needles towards its face. Sophia's words had restored his morale. ::wurmple:: Alex used string Shot and Poison Sting.

NOTES; N/A MUSE; N/A TAGS; Talis, Mods POKEMON; Rattata (M), Seedot (F)
Unable to move fast enough to dodge yet another barrage of the needles with a Quick Attack, he was first covered in the sticky string shot. This distracted the Rattata - how the heck was he going to get all of this stuff out of his fur, huh? What did they expect him to do, bathe in the river? Irritated, he bared his fangs and hissed at the Wumple as he struggled against the stuff covering him. He needed to get free of it before he could manage another attack.
Unfortunately, glaring and hissing at the Wurmple provided a perfect spot for the Poison Stings to aim. Rattata shrieked in pain as several of the stings lodged themselves in his face, one even zipping into his open mouth and striking the roof of it. Snarling and hissing with obvious pain and anger, he spat out the sting as well as a small amount of blood which had been extracted upon it's removal.
<You'll pay for that, you stupid worm!>
Now it was his turn to go on the offensive. He didn't have the time for a stat-lowering move, thanks to the fact that he'd been covered in string and then distracted with the poisonous barbs. But that didn't matter to him right now, and he was angry enough that he thought only about crushing the stupid bug as he lunged toward it with a Tackle.

With the absence of any additional speed, the Wurmple, slow as he was, was forced to throw himself aside, landing on his back and kicking his many tiny legs to right himself, standing up, a little dazed. He shook his head to snap himself out of it, before hearing a cheer from Sophia. "COME ON, ALEX! YOU CAN DO IT! POISON STING!" Sophia didn't think she was getting too overexcited about a battle with an underweight Rattata... You could never be too encouraging. With an odd, high pitched battle cry, Alex sent forth a volley of purple needles, again aiming at the Rattata's face. ::wurmple:: Alex used Poison Sting.

The Rattata hissed after smacking into the Wurmple, feeling a stinging sensation on the part of his body that made contact with the worm. Recoil damage? Not really, but using each move over and over tired him out eventually. It was like he was starting to feel the effects of his Power Points dropping, and the more he kept up using the same move, the sooner he wouldn’t be able to use it at all in the battle. Digging his claws into the cool, moist dirt, he felt an uneasy wind blow past him as the trainer offered the Wurmple encouragements. How lucky was he, having a cheerleader backing him up. He rolled his eyes, pretending to scoff at it although he secretly yearned for something similar.
His eyes carelessly cast themselves back on the scene just in time to see the Poison Sting coming right at him. Holding in a gasp, he attempted to run away from the full blow of the move, but ended up getting hit far more than he had hopped. The Poison sunk into his body, making him shudder and squirm in uncomfortable silence. With a pained expression, he tried to make eye contact with his foe.
If he could see the determination in his eyes, then he hoped he would say something about it. How he wanted to eat this worm so badly, and how he wanted to win. What was worse than losing to a worm? There was his predator-ish pride to consider as well, since usually he was the prey! He growled in spite and charged ahead with a weak Tackle.

Sophia had no desire to capture this Rattata. But he seemed sad to not have someone cheering him on. All the same, the hungry look he kept giving Alex unnerved Sophia more than she liked to admit. As the Tackle hit, Alex was pushed back even further with a squeal of pain, and tears brimmed in his eyes as his chest began to purple with a thick, painful bruise. Sophia gasped as she saw the brimming tears, and looked at Rattata with an expression of utter hatred. It seemed both Alex and Sophia were learning just how harsh life could be. "Tackle it!" ordered Sophia, and Alex rushed to obey, trying to slam straight into Rattata with all his tiny, yet thick bulk. ::wurmple:: Alex used Tackle.

The Wurmple charged ahead in an unforgiving manner, more than ready to Tackle the shit out of it. Thinking quickly, the Rattata raised his side to take the force of the blow, with only his tail to try and take most of the damage. With the poison continuously sapping away at his health though, he wasn’t sure how long he’d be able to keep up this charade. His claws sunk into the earth as he looked around weakly for somewhere to escape, maybe that fosse over there, but it didn’t look close enough for him to reach in time before the Wurmple honed in on him.
<D-dammit.> He hissed as he was Tackled down onto his stomach, completely motionless as the poison sucked the last ounce of his will to fight right out of him. The darkness of losing crept over his eyes, making his eyelids very heavy as he sunk into a dream world where all was well.

According to her Pokedex, Alex was at a level to avoid into Silcoon or Cascoon now. He would soon evolve. How exciting. Lifting the little red worm affectionately, she nuzzled him against her cheek, ignoring the slime. He closed his eyes, enjoying the sensation. Sophia praised him, then placed him on her shoulder. He was a weight, but not unbearable. Placing the unconscious Rattata in a piece of dry foliage, she removed the string and poison needles, before turning to Seedot. "Are you alright?" she asked, bending down next to her. ::wurmple::

Pokemon encounter ! The little seed continued to shiver even as she saw the purple form of the rodent descend to the ground. A small amount of relief reached her, but she was still slightly shaken by the whole encounter. Not only that, but all that remained of the piece of bread the Rattata stole was a few crumbs strewn all about the ground.
The human that had fought off the rodent scavenger now bent down toward her with a concerned inquiry. Seeing that the human still worried for her, the little seedling nodding slowly. <I am, but..> She said slowly and quietly before she was interrupted by a telltale rumbling in her stomach.

Sophia frowned, and withdrew a Pokeball, placing it a good distance away from the Sedot, so as not to frighten it. "If you come with me, I'll try to find you some Oran Berries," she promised sincerely.
She wasn't sure how the little acorn would react, but she hoped she would come with her. A grass type would be useful, and she quite liked the Seedot's personality. She intrigued her.

<I-I see. I hope we can find them quickly. I don’t think I’m the only hungry one at this time of day.> The Seedot commented with a gloomy sigh, realizing all that she was putting this poor trainer and her Pokemon through. It was a shame enough that they didn’t have any food on them currently, but to still go out and find her food? Knowing that if there was one berry to find, they would still give it to her? It really touched her heart, and with a shy blush, she nodded her head in agreement. They should start looking as soon as possible.
<I think I smell water a little farther up. Where there’s water, there should be plants.> She commented thoughtfully, sniffing the air with much more focus this time. Yes, she was almost certain that it was pond water she was sniffing. She wasn’t sure if Sophia would catch on to what she was saying, so she ran a bit closer in that direction and started hopping up and down joyfully. Trying to lead the trainer on so she could escort her there.
::Seedot:: Wants you to follow her.

Sophia smiled as the Seedot bounced up and down. Looks like she wanted Sophia to follow her. Sophia was only too happy to follow the acorn to wherever it was she wanted her to go.
Alex was asleep on her shoulder, utterly exhausted from the battle. He inhaled softly, his exhalations emerging in the form of almost inaudible "Wurmple"s. She made sure he was tightly secured to her shoulder, then nodded and followed the Seedot.

<Err, which way was it now.> She wasn't sure now, she thought she had smelled fresh water somewhere. Then she caught wiff of it again and walked on. The Trainer behind her and sang happily. Seedot, seedot, seeeeDOT! Saying the last part a bit louder for who knows what reason she walked on. Coming very close to the pond now she jumped up and down. Seedot, seedot! <It's right past these bushes!> She said. Tilting her body to the bushes. - Tagged: Talis
