Xerian's cheeks began to glow a soft pink under the questioning of the Taillow and she kept her eyes on Flicker for several moments. Maybe she should just learn to keep her nose out? But this Taillow was so sweet and polite... that she quickly found herself giving him a far more detailed explanation than she'd expected.
"It's a PokéDex." She held the PokéDex out to the bird so he could see it better. "I hope to one day become a Breeder... but I know that before I can even hope of doing that, I have to go out and see the many different pokémon in their homes. This Dex gathers information on pokémon I have seen and gives me details to better help the pokémon if they are in trouble."
The young trainer paused for a moment. "At the moment, I guess I'm classed as a Trainer... or a Coordinator. I'm on my journey to find pokémon, collect them and take care of them. So far I have Flicker, my Spoink and two Rattata. I feel bad hurting pokémon to capture them... but I hope to make their journey with me as fun as possible so that they will decide to stay with me when I eventually realise my dream of being a Breeder." the flush on her cheeks deepened and Flicker laughed.
<She's learning. We actually ventured this far for two reasons. The first to ensure that no pokémon were in need of help. And secondly to see if we could find pokémon who might want to travel with us on our journey.>

All of a sudden, the trainer seemed to be pouring her heart out to him. The bird didn't mind however; quite the opposite, in fact. He enjoyed listening to tales and dreams of adventure, it made his heart beat faster in excitement. Oh, how fun it was to fly around and see the sights! Granted, this human could hardly fly, but if she had a trusted, flighty companion... An idea started forming in his head, but he kept it to himself as he politely listened to the rest of her explanation.
<A Pokedex, you say? Hmm. Fascinating!> And it was, really. <So you like to help Pokemon, rather than hurt them, eh? Always good to hear, always good!> He didn't mind battling, but he wasn't too fond of the trainers that ambushed him at random, trying to knock him unconscious so they could drag him along. Oh, no! He was not willing to spend the rest of his life in a Pokeball, allowed into the outdoors only when he was needed for fighting! This girl didn't seem like one of those trainers, however. She was very interesting.
The Fire Pokemon spoke next, and the Taillow ruffled his wings, tilting his head slightly as he watched it with a curious eye. <Pokemon that might want to accompany you?> he repeated. Well! It seemed that his little idea didn't need to be presented in a sneaky way, after all! This Magby had practically opened the door for his question! <Might I accompany you, miss?> he inquired, straightening his head and glancing at the fiery-haired trainer. <I would do my best to provide you with my humble service.> Extending a wing, the bird swept it across his chest and dipped his head in a polite sort of bow. <That is, if you'll have me?> There was a chance they didn't have a need for him. Now, that would be quite the sting, but he'd take it like a man and go on his way.

As the Taillow requested to join, Flicker clapped his tiny hands together excitedly. Xerian beamed at the bird and took a tiny capsule from her bag. Her hand brushed the egg securely inside briefly; just an egg she had received along the way, and she gave it a little pat before slipping it free also.
Cradling the egg to her chest for a moment, she spoke to the Taillow. "I don't believe in hurting pokémon. Shoat decided to come along with me after we helped him to find his pearl. Granted, I took the first of my two Rattata, Gnaw, in the typical way that trainers do..." she looked a little sheepish at that. "But I felt terrible for taking Gnaw away from Nip and so I captured her too. I wanted them to be together." she smiled softly and hand out her hand, pokéball enlarging within it.
"Of course, you'll need to go in here for a moment to make it official..." she said apologetically, "but I'll let you out so you're free to fly as often as possible. Plenty of fresh air and sight seeing does pokémon the world of good." she touched the ball to his head and waited.

Both the trainer and her Pokemon seemed relatively pleased at the idea of the Taillow accompanying him, and he ruffled his feathers sheepishly, a bit flattered. He'd asked this of a trainer only once before, and they'd been quite rude about turning him down. "Too polite," was all they'd said before walking off. Hmph! One could never been too polite, in his opinion. It was rather a common courtesy to treat those around you with respect, unless they gave you reason to do otherwise.
<But of course! I shall have no problems with that, so long as I'm often allowed to stretch my wings!>
The ball glowed slightly before sucking the Taillow into it's depths. He was alarmed for only a moment, surprised by how roomy and comfortable it really was, and so he didn't struggle at all, making for a quick capture. The soft ping made it official, and the Taillow was now a proud member of Xerian's team.
You obtained a Taillow!

Clutching egg and pokéball to her chest, Xerian let out a littl squeal. She had her very own BIRD POKÉMON! She had always been a fan of birds and they were one of her three favourite types. The girl sighed happily.
"Welcome to the team, Zephyr," she said with a smile as she released the tiny swallow pokémon from his capsule.
Soaring high as he was released, the taillow circled his trainer's head for a moment. <Zephyr, you say? How very fitting.> Clearly pleased by this choice of name, the little bird alighted softly on Xerian's shoulder. <So, Miss, where are we going next on this adventure of yours?>
Scratching Zephyr just below his beak, Xerian thought for a moment, snuggling her egg close to her breast so that it might benefit from the warmth of her own body. "Could you scout out ahead?" she asked the bird.
<Why of course.>
With a couple of wing flaps, the small avian lifted off her shoulder and flew off ahead, little beady eyes scanning the area.

Flying happily through the skies in search of something entertaining, a young avian found herself entertained with the ever changing wind currents. As one randomly went up, she followed it in order to see how high she was able to go. Completely enamored with her ability of flight, the navy blue Pokemon suddenly curved with the wind and dived down below. As if on a roller coaster, she went down with such an adrenaline rush, that her mind was officially blown. Nearly hitting the ground, she quickly pulled herself back up into the sky.
To anyone else, she would've looked like a crazy bird. And guess what? She was approaching Zephyr. She caught sight of a handsome male Taillow in the distance, and with a cheerful look, she flew forward to greet him.
<Hey! You! Are you a local? I was supposed to ask something but...oh shoot. I forgot.> The female Taillow looked around, confused and dazed. If there was something in her surrounding that could jog her memory a little...

Zephyr observed the female Taillow for a moment before responding to the lady.
<Well. I'm from around these parts, if that's what you mean, little lady,> he said graciously, giving a little inclination of his deep blue and red head. <But I just joined up with a young Trainer to see the world!> He paused for a moment. <Would you like to come and meet her? Perhaps you'll remember whatever it is you've forgotten along the way. I'll be happy to answer any question you might have... once you remember.>
He inclined his head slightly towards the ground where Xerian was happily walking along, Flicker by her side and dark blue egg in her arms. Occasionally she glanced upwards towards her new Taillow.
<Are you lost? Need directions? Perhaps you're interested in the little friendly tournament we have going on in the clearing?> He darted from side to side as he spoke, wondering that if he made the right suggestion, this pretty little Taillow might remember what it was she had needed to ask...

<Tuh? I know it had a 'tuh' sound in the beginning.> She tried to sound out her own trainer's instructions, but the simple order had been wiped away from her memory. She was almost completely sure that she was on the right track, as the familiar but often misleading sense of deja vu overwhelmed her.
<Tournament? No, I don't think that's it. See the world, why, what a coincidence! I am too! I'm supposed to go along with all of my friends and-> She started to babble excitedly when she suddenly stopped. It looked as is she had an epiphany, and she was ready to blurt it out to the world.
<Oh! That's it! You said you had a 'Trainer', yes? I was sent to look for other Trainers. My boss told me to. Um. Um. I need to get him.> She announced with haste, and swiftly flew down into a close by clearing. Within minutes, she was back up in the air leading her trainer towards where she last saw the Taillow.
<That's her, right? I sure hope it is. My boss can be pretty impul...impul...whatever the word is.> She stated, slowly letting herself drift down so she wouldn't have to waste energy by flapping her wings nonstop. Perching on a nearby branch above Xerian's head, she watched with amusement as her own trainer stumbled through the bushes.
"Jude! Jude! Where is he? The trainer? I'll kick his ass!" The teen-aged male shouted energetically as he practically kicked the air with dramatic vigor. He looked around in all directions, skimming right over Xerian and Flicker, then back up at Jude.
"So where's Mr. Big and Strong? I'll teach him to have an ego." He growled, taking his imagination of other trainers bit to the extreme side of the spectrum. To say that he was impulsive seemed like a spot on characteristic for him.

"Whaaaaaat?" Garett facepalmed visibly and painfully. Ow! he exclaimed. That was more painful than I wanted it to be." he rubbed his throbbing, now scarlet nose with a pained expression on his face, before turning back to Xerian.
It was almost as if he'd just realized she was there again. "So... there aren't any other Trainers here for me to train my beautiful birds on.... So they're either way ahead of us... or we've gone the wrong way. Goddamit!" He began to run forward in an attempt to get moving again, to find more Trainers, but slipped on a patch of wet grass, flew into the air with a high pitched scream, and landed with a painful crash on the ground.
Scrambling to his feet, he panted. I'm OK. I'm OK." In an attempt to salvage his dignity, he looked at Xerian and asked her. "Well. Since I can't find any other trainers, you'll have to do. Up for a Pokémon battle? A friendly, of course."

Shielding the deep blue egg in her arms as the boy tripped over, Xerian giggled, covering her mouth quickly to stifle the sound. Apparently Xerian didn't look like a Trainer, going by his bird trainer's words and that stung a little. A light flush touched her cheeks; a small indication to the sudden anger that was bubbling within.
Resisting the urge to slap the boy, Xerian stood her ground. "What do you say, team? Wanna teach this guy how we battle?"
Zephyr let out a little chirp and Flicker moved closer to Xerian's leg. Right. That was that then. She unclipped one of the pokéballs from her waist and released Shoat. At the very least, he'd gain some experience from this battle before she let her strongest take over.
Shoat bounced where he stood, knowing full well he couldn't do anything in this battle except flop about aimlessly, but he knew that by just being present, he'd learn something from his friends.
"Let's do it!" Xerian said enthusiastically, resisting the urge to fist pump the air in excitement. Her first real Trainer battle!

Trainer Garett
"Right. How you battle." Garett smiled teasingly at the girl, obviously not taking her seriously. When she sent out the adorable purple pig, it was hard not to laugh. It looked so stupid looking, and that thing! What was with that pearl on its head? Why, even his weakest Pokemon on his team was much stronger looking than that thing! He looked up at Jude and decided to keep his strongest Pokemon out of this battle, might as well test the waters before going in strong.
"Fine, I think Juno will be perfect for this match." He replied confidently as he held a small Pokeball in his hand. Enlarging it, he tossed it high up in the air. In fact, so high that it hit the tree branch right above him, where it consequently opened up, sending the sphere right back down and landing on Garett's head. Ouch. He clutched his head in pain as he bent over for the Pokeball, slipping it in his pocket as he heard some giggles from up above.
"Shut up, Juno. Can't you see that you're in the presence of a lady?" He grumbled, watching as the Pidgey flew back down to greet his new opponent. From the atmosphere, he could sense that he was the first one up for battle.
<Hi, I hope we can be great friends.> The Pidgey chirped, his eyes glistening with a mischievous sparkle at the Spoink. Suddenly he lifted up his wings and blew a Sand Attack at the adorable pig. How cruel! Even Garett was a bit surprised that Juno acted like that without his command, though it was in his advantage.

Shoat recoiled from the sly sand attack, crying out only once as the sand lashed at his eyes, obscuring his vision. Why did he have to be so weak!? If only he was able to attack back. At least then he'd not be a burden to Xerian and her team. Yet, this was why she had sent him out first. Just from being present at the start of the battle, he would experience the thrill of the fight. He'd get stronger soon and then! Watch out, everyone!
"Shoat, come back!" Xerian yelled, allowed the red light of the pokéball to engulf the little pig. "Go, Zephyr!"
Zephyr flapped his small, navy blue wings and shot into the air. "Quick Attack!"
The little bird rocketed upwards before moving with all the speed he could muster into the move towards the dastardly Pidgey. <What a cheap attack on my friend,> he muttered as he zoomed in. <Not very polite at all!>
"I hope you're watching... well, listening, little one," Xerian whispered to her egg, nuzzling her face against it. "One day... it'll be you taking part."
returned
Zephyr used Quick Attack

Birdkeeper Garett ! Juno flapped his wings backwards to return to his position in front of Garett after successfully blinding the little pig's eyes. How odd - usually trainers these days didn't use the switching method to train their pokemon. Oh well. The little avian was ready for it.
The Taillow was sent out. <Cheap attack? All's fair in love and war, amigo.> Retorted the pidgey with a grin, flapping expertly out of the way of the coming attack. Facing towards the other bird, Juno awaited his trainer's orders.
"Tackle," Commanded the young birdkeeper, watching the battlefield with a keen eye. Though he was training his pokemon, he, too, was being trained in the art of battling. All this valuable information was good to save.
Hearing his trainer's orders, the Pidgey spread out his wings and hovered off the ground, flapping speedily in order to ram his feathered body into Zephyr's.

Zephyr let out a little chirp of pain as the Pidgey collided with his side, bowling him sideways a good few feet. Ruffling his feathers and recomposing himself, the tiny Taillow rocketed back into the air and zoomed around the Trainer's heads, waiting for Xerian's next command.
"Focus Energy!"
Zephyr hovered for a moment as pent up energy coursed through his small body. He closed his beady little eyes and allowed the energy to pump him up, feeling even more ready for the fight.
"Quick Attack!"
He shot towards his opponent, folding in his wings to streamline his feathered form as he moved.
Xerian stood with the egg clasped tight against her chest, warmth seeping steadily into it as she watched her pokémon battling with fierce intensity. Flicker stood at her side, willing his friend on with various little fist pumps and yells of <You can do it!>

Juno was sent flying backwards by the exceptionally powerful Quick Attack. "Tch. Birdkeeper Garett glared at Xerian as Juno flapped its wings rapidly to regain its composure. He looked at Garett, waiting for his next command. That Quick Attack had HURT. Damn Focus Energy...
"Alright Juno. Use Sand Attack again and follow it up with a Tackle!" commanded Garett, leaning forward and struggling not to slip and fall again. After he had balanced himself, he watched.
Juno landed on the ground, touching its talons and wings to the ground as it whipped and dug up another flurrry of sand to kick and flap towards the Tailow's eyes, before rushing towards it in an ambushing Tackle attack.

Juno smiled smugly as the sand attack hit, but what he was not expecting was the Growl that came next. >Hey! Don't growl at me!< he exclaimed angrily, flapping his wings fast to show his displeasure. But the Tailow was already rushing towards him at an incredible speed, and Juno only had time to let out a single shriek of terror before he was bowled over by the sheer strength and speed of Zephyr, landing on the ground, unconscious. Garett smiled at Xerian. "I underestimated you." Returning Juno to his Pokeball, he withdrew a second Pokeball. "But it isn't over yet. Tick! Hypnosis!"Throwing the Pokeball, Garett smirked as a Hoothoot emerged, staring deep into Zephyr's eyes. >Cookies!< he exclaimed, as he tried to send the persistent little Tailow to sleep. Juno has fainted. Returned.Garett sent out Tick Tock! Tick Tock used Hypnosis!

Garett smirked. It seemed some of his former (and extremely irritating) arrogance had returned. He jumped in the air, pumping his fist. "Haha, nice one Tick Tock!" he cheered his bird Pokémon on, who began to do... a rather odd victory dance, flapping his wings and tapping his feet rapidly on the ground with his eyes closed, and Garett's celebrations ceased as he facepalmed. Tick had always been the most... unpredictable of his Pokémon. He was totally random and prone to do both the brilliant, the stupid, the stupidly brilliant and the brilliantly stupid, often in quick succession. And when he wasn't doing that, he was being weird and random. "Don't celebrate yet, Tick. Use Tackle, and give it something to worry about!" Garett yelled at the Owl Pokémon. Tick obeyed, flapping his wings to get airborne again, before surging at Zephyr like a homing missle, head bowed so that it could barrel straight into the Tailow if it managed to hit successfully. Garett just hoped the Tailow wouldn't wake up. ::hoothoot:: Tick-Tock used Tackle! [/B]
