Kalina was taking a break from climbing the steep mountain. If it wasn't for what she had heard about Clefairy appearing here then she would have headed straight back down. But no, she needed Clefairy.

Suddenly there was a rustle from behind a thorny bush. A pair of eyes traced Kalina's every move.
Investigate?

Looking towards the bush, Kalina slowly went forward. "Excuse me?" she asked, noting the thorns. "Are you alright?"

A creepy-looking pig hopped out of the bushes, nearly trampling Kalina in the process. It let out an oink of contentment, sniffing her several times.

Kalina smiled (despite nearly being trampled) and held a hand out to the strange Pokemon. "Hi there" she said with a gentle tone in her voice.

Spoink hopped around excitedly, sniffing the girl from every direction. <Hihi, I like to bounce, do you like to bounce?> It's high-pitched voice trembled with excitement.
The glassy pearl on it's head shone a pale pink, showing Kalina's reflection like a distorted funhouse mirror.

Smiling, Kalina adopted her Pokespeak voice. <I've never really tried> she admitted. <But we could try it if you want.> Of course, she was still suffering from a hangover, but this might actually do something to help it.

A sly grin spread across the piglet's face. <Watch me first!> Using it's coiled tail, it launched itself into the air, well above the trainer's head.
It landed on the ground with a thud, cringing slightly. <Ouch>

<Hey, are you alright?> Kalina asked, picking the Pokemon up with her hands. <Oh man, I'm really starting to feel sick now.> Falling back on herself, she hit her head on the mountain, nearly knocking herself out.

Unfortunately, Spoink was still locked firmly in Kalina's grasp, even as she fell. It squirmed, trying desperately to free itself. <Hey, hey, are you all right?> It suddenly didn't feel much like bouncing anymore.
The pearl on its head began to glow again, more intensely than before. A light pink aura surrounded Kalina's body. <Lemme... go...> It moaned, squirming again.

Slowly, but surely, Kalina was starting to get better. She could feel the intense pain in her head fading and she didn't feel sick anymore. She got back up, letting the Spoink go. <Thank you> she said with a huge smile. <You got rid of my hangover. Oh thank you!>

Spoink grinned, exhaling a sigh of relief. It flexed it's springy tail, making sure it was still in proper working order, before bouncing once more. <Try it! Try it try it! It's so much fun!>

Feeling pretty much indebted to the Spoink for curing her hangover, Kalina gave a nod and began to bounce herself. Smiling, she realised that it was indeed a lot of fun to bounce.

Snickering slightly at Kalina's technique, Spoink bounced higher, above her head and onto a nearby rock. <Like this! Like this! Don't look, just jump!> Propelled by it's tail, the piglet seemed to fly.

<But you've got a spring tail> Kalina moaned. <I don't have that, so I can't do it the way you can.> Regardless, Kalina tried anyway.

Spoink giggled, hopping onto her head and coiling it's tail around her hair. <Your head is cozy> it murmured, snuggling in close. <Keep bouncing; you're improving>

<While you're on there?> Kalina asked. <Isn't that a little dangerous?> Regardless, she continued to bounce, still enjoying it.

Soothed by the constant motion, Spoink's eyelids fluttered shut. Soon it was loudly snoring, still perched atop Kalina's head. It's curly tail twitched slightly in it's sleep, as it dreamed about bouncing higher and higher...

Eventually, Kalina came to a stop, smiling. "Come on, we've got to continue looking" she whispered. "I need a Clefairy."

Snores faded into rhythmic breathing as Spoink continued to sleep, perched securely atop her head. Every so often, it would twitch lightly, letting her know it was still alive.
Suddenly, the winds picked up, blowing debris and sand in every direction. Spoink was able to sleep through it - however, the sandstorm only worsened with every passing moment. A lone pokemon jumped out from behind a thorny bush, planting itself directly in Kalina's path.
<This is my mountain!> It shrieked, folding it's stubby arms across it's chest.
