At long last, here it was encased within the mechanical ball she held in her hand. She cupped it in her hands for a good few moments as she slowly stood up. Claribel wasn't going to treat this pokemon like she would any other. No, this one would get special treatment as would any canine or avian pokemon she caught. She wouldn't put them in a situation that could tear them away from her, either from natural or unnatural means. She still held the pidgey's ball in her hand when she resumed her journey down the route. She wasn't familiar with the pokemon on the route, or if there were any other pokemon here that would interest her. If not, then she would just have to do what came naturally to her; fighting to the death. Or at least teach her pokemon how to battle the way she learned. __________________________________ ooc// this post makes me want to shoot my muse

<Tag, you're it!>The Zigzagoon lept at the Rattata, batting his paw at the Rat Pokemon's flank before darting away. <Hey! You didn't count to 5 seconds yet,>Rattata squeaked indignantly. The Rat Pokemon stubbornly sat down, refusing to chase after his friend until matters were settled. He took this game very seriously. <Sure I did,>Zigzagoon replied with a grin, wagging his tail in a playful way. <You're just too slow,>he taunted, hoping to get a reaction. He succeeded as Rattata retorted, <I'll show you who's slow>Rattata dashed towards the Zigzagoon, who let out a laugh and ran off. <Can't catch me!>Zigzagoon crowed in triumph, picking up speed so that he and his friend were a few feet apart. <Zigzagoon, watch out!>Rattata suddenly squealed, screeching to a halt as his eyes grew wide with fear, looking at something beyond Zigzagoon. Zigzagoon didn't seem to hear Rattata's warning. He only had time to look back to check if Rattata was nearby, only to run into the legs of a Trainer. Rattata and Zigzagoon were playing tagZigzagoon ran into you!

Before she even began to think her day couldn't get any better, the playful rattata and zigzagoon caught her attention. They seemed to be playing, an act that many young pokemon did. However, Claribel was sure this playful behavior was kept within species. The two played much like a couple of siblings would. It confused her though she couldn't waste time trying to make sense of what went against her father's teachings. She stopped on the middle of the route, clearly unsure if she would try and catch one, if not both of them. Neither of them fell into her "preferred" type, although the Zigzagoon was fairly close. And the Rattata wasn't something she would just brush off as a useless pokemon. If used correctly, and taught the right moves, it could take down just about anything. It was a hard decision to make. She knew the level of difficulty that trying to obtain both of them would be but she was willing to give it a shot. Claribel patiently stood ans watched their antics while clipping Pidgey's ball to her belt. It wasn't long before she was noticed by the pair as the Zigzagoon carelessly ran into her. Tilting her head, she wasn't sure what to do. Bring out Meowth and scare the two away? No, that would be foolish. Pidgey was incapacitated at the moment, most likely still unconscious in his ball. Oh, and Neco. He was perfectly fit and able to battle but his trainer had little hope in his ability to take on both pokemon though she pulled him out anyway. That's when it dawned on her. Neco was about their level, right? Wouldn't that mean he shared their same childlike mannerisms? So why not let him play around with them for a few minutes and get them to join him under the ownership of Claribel? Sure, she wasn't fond of letting her pokemon slack off but as long as she gained something from it right? As Neco stood rather confused beside her, she nudged him towards the pair. "Go play," she simply said. The two pokemon seemed friendly enough even if the Rattata scared him just a tad. And he couldn't really say no to his mom. She made that very clear early on that he had to listen to her. Well, as long as he was able to have fun! <C-can I play with you?> he asked timidly. He wasn't the bravest pine cone around but maybe he'd make some friends today? ::pineco:: Neco wants to play

Zigzagoon shivered, backing away slowly from the Trainer. He kept his round amber eyes trained on the human, unsure of her reaction. Rattata dashed protectively to Zigzagoon, staying beside his friend in a comforting manner, though he, too, was shaking with fear. To their dismay, the Trainer seemed to invite them to play with her Pineco. Zigzagoon was all for it. He bounded towards Neco with a friendly wag of his tail. "Sure,"the raccoon Pokémon said eagerly. Rattata was less enthusiastic. His fur was bristling with suspicion and he glanced at Neco with a scrutinizing glare, which transferred to the Trainer. Slowly, he walked over to Neco, giving the Pokémon a wary nod of greeting. <Tag!>Zigzagoon yelped, batting Neco with his paws and then dashing away. Mood: Suspicious Mood: Playful

Neco bounced around, oblivious to the Rattata's wary behavior. He playfully twirled around the rat pokemon before lightly tapping him on the side. <You're it now!> he exclaimed. He hopped off while fitting in a few spins as he turned to see if the Rattata was coming after him or not. He may have not been designed for speed, but at least he felt included. Claribel took the time to lean against a near by tree, silently watching the trio as they played in the middle of the route. It was boring just sitting there although it gave her a chance to do her morning routine that she had to skip. She sat down underneath tree, pulling out her pokedex to use as a makeshift mirror. She couldn't really see much of herself other than a faint outline of her head and a few blurry details of her face. She took a few moments to fix her hair before returning her attention to the little pokemon. ::pineco:: Neco tagged Rattata

The Zigzagoon laughed as his friend got tagged. Before the Zigzagoon could even start running again Rattata laughed a mockingly evil laugh before bolting at him to tag. Zigzagoon gasped and started to run away. <You're gonna get it now!> Rattata exclaimed happily. The Zigzagoon stuck his tongue out as he ran past the Pineco. He stared back at his friend and tauntingly said, <Catch me if you can!> He then bolted behind a tree while his friend was looking away.
The Rattata came up to Neco and panted. <Hey, where is he?> He asked while trying to catch his breath.

Neco laughed as Zigzagoon bolted away from Rattata. <Um, I think he went this way. Follow me!> he said happily. He wasn't really sure himself since he, too, was not paying attention. He took a wild guess and headed towards a small bush a little ways down the Route. Neco made his way toward the bush occasionally turning back to see if Rattata was behind him or not. Their little game of tag seemed to be turning into hide and seek. He hopped into the bush causing its dry, dead leaves to rustle loudly. <Zigzagoon, are you in here?> he called out. He couldn't seem much past the mess of twisted branches and dried up leaves. Plus, he would blend in anyway since his fur matched. ::pineco::

Zigzagoon giggled in the foliage, betraying his position as he tried desperately to hide, but his giggle fit was really destroying any chance of stealth the raccoon had. As the Zigzagoon emerged with a giggle, he glanced at the Rattata with a smile, who nodded fervently and poked at one of the Pineco's less spiky parts with his wet nose. >Tricked you!< giggled the Zigzagoon, leaping over Neco playfully and landing on his feet, the two friends trying to escape the Pineco before he could tag them back. ::zigzagoon::

Neco was caught off guard by their trick. <Hey, you tricked me!> he called out with a small laugh. He hopped after them, trying to catch up though they were much faster than him. He didn't pay much attention to the advantage they had over him. However, he managed to lower the distance between him and Zigzagoon to only a few feet but was still too far to tag him. Neco kept up his pursuit, determined to catch the tiny raccoon Pokémon. Meanwhile, Claribel leaned against the tree a few meters away. She watched them run back and forth though they steadily got farther and farther away from her. She didn't put much thought into the danger of them out there in the open not paying attention to what was around them. In fact, she wasn't even paying attention to her surroundings either. Though they were just little Pokémon romping around, they somehow managed to keep her attention focused on them. ::modcoin::

Tag? Tag? Tag! The noise of the steps above made her angry, and she got more angry all the time from it! More shakes, more tag tag tag! Here she was trying to sleep and get into a good hibernation mode before the winter season kicked in and it was too humid for her to go out in the air- and these Pokémon above her were playing tag? It made Sandshrew was really really angry! He was going to do something about it, that was for sure! With a loud movement which would make a Tauros call a regular stampede, the Sandshrew charged out of it's hole, grumbling, and attempting to scratch the Pokémon nearest to it's hole- which happened to be Claribel's Pineco, Neco! Wild Sandshrew Appeared! Used Scratch on Neco!

::pineco:: Hit by Scratch
The attack coupled with the momentum the Sandshrew had threw Neco back a few feet. He stayed on his back for a few seconds, dazed and confused, before rolling over and getting back up. What just happened? It wasn't until he turned to see an angry Sandshrew, though he still didn't understand why she attacked him. He wasn't doing anything wrong. All he was doing was taking part in an innocent game of Tag! There's nothing wrong with that. The unforeseen attack caught Claribel off guard. From where she was, she only managed to see Neco fly into the air and land roughly. She quickly stood up and took a few steps toward the group as she readied Neco's pokeball for his withdrawal. She wasn't about to let him fight both Rattata and Zigzagoon at the same time if they attacked him. Luckily, neither showed any sign of aggression at her Pineco. Instead, she saw the furious Sandshrew standing near the hole. Putting two and two together Claribel motioned to the Sandshrew, saying to the confused Pineco, "Tackle it." If it was up to him he would have already used the quickest way to scare off his opponent, that being the move Selfdestruct. But he didn't want to hurt his new friends or his mom, all of which would be hit by the explosion. He nodded, cowardly of course, and went to attack the scary mouse pokemon. ::pineco:: Used Tackle

The Zigzagoon and Rattata got scared once their game was interrupted by the Pineco. The two fled leaving Neco to fend for himself.
The Sandshrew tumbled backwards from the Tackle. She got up and held out her claws. <All I wanted was peace and quiet but noo! I wake up to the sounds of some dumb Pokemon playing tag!> She was angry, you would be too if you didn't have a nap today. She then ran at the Pineco and slashed at it with her claws.

::pineco:: Hit by Scratch
Sandshrew's claws hit their mark causing Neco to cry out in pain. Sure, he had tough strips of bark attached to his body to protect him, but her sharp claws managed to dig deep enough to cause him pain. <I-I'm sorry,> he stuttered as he slowly inched closer to his trainer in hopes of her scaring the angry pokemon away but was met by a cold voice telling him to tackle it again. Claribel was furious by now. She watched as the Zigzagoon and Rattata fled the area while she was unable to do anything. She wasn't about to waste two pokeballs trying to catch a couple of pokemon who weren't even weakened nor was she about to chase after them. They had to be common around here, right? So she'd get another chance to run into them, though it's not like she wanted them that bad. On the other hand, those two could have been very valuable help to her cause. To say the least, Claribel wasn't pleased at all. ::pineco:: Used Tackle

Great, that tackle really hurt. The sandshrew was sent tumbling into a nearby tree, smacking into it dead on. That'd leave a mark in the morning. She groaned, rubbing her back before righting herself. This entire situation was terrible for her, as if the two hooligans weren't bad enough. She had to deal with them playing tag outside her home ever since they decided this would be a "nice" playing area for them, it was truly bothersome! She growled, rushing towards the pineco with her hand brandished for Scratch.

::pineco:: Hit by Scratch
Neco prepared for impact as the Sandshrew came at him, claw ready to tear into him. He closed his eyes and prayed that it wouldn't hurt as bad as the last attack. Once the claws made contact with his bark-plated shell, he fell back by the force. Thankfully, it didn't hurt at much this time which gave him an extra few seconds to get back up and face her instead of cringing in pain. "Again," Claribel said. She didn't care about how repetitive this was. In fact, she paid little attention to the actual battle. Her attention was focused on the Sandshrew, mentally debating with herself on whether it would be able to withstand the brutality of ring fighting or cower at the sight of a more formidable foe. While Neco was busy trying to tackle it again, Claribel observed the ground pokemon from where she stood. ::pineco:: Used Tackle

The Sandshrew took the attack well, the placed her claws out to try to stop herself from being thrown backwards. She then jumped back and landed on her feet, she fell to one knee and panted. <I just asked for quiet! Is that a lot to ask for?!> She yelled.
She then unleashed her claws on the Pineco, she slashed left and right in a furyous way, she had her eyes closed too so she might have missed and she was just hitting ground. <HIIIIYAAAA!!> She screamed out as she attacked.

::pineco:: Hit by Scratch
Unlike his foe, Neco didn't take her attacks as well as she did his. He didn't even have time to try and apologize to her before he found himself at the receiving end of her fury once more. Sandshrew hit hard and fast nearly causing the Pineco to burst into tears. If it was up to him he would have already tried to blow himself up but his mom told him otherwise, commanding him to tackle his foe again. He cringed as he threw himself at Sandshrew. He just wanted this to end. All of it. Why couldn't the Sandshrew be nice like Zigzagoon and Rattata? Even if they ran off leaving him to fend for himself, they were still friends to Neco. ::pineco:: Used Tackle

This time the Sandshrew didn't see the attack coming, the Pineco Tackled into her with full force. She was knocked backwards onto the ground with a loud thud. Rubbing her head as she got up she scowled.
She then started into a sprint, as soon as she came closer she unleashed her claws upon the Pineco. Slashing back and forth mostly out of anger.

::pineco:: Hit by Scratch Weak
With that last blow, Neco wasn't sure if he could take much more. He was tired, sore, and hurt. He was covered in scratches all varying in severity. He struggled to get back up, muffling his painful whines to the best of his ability. He readied himself for the next attack though he wasn't sure if he could muster up enough strength to hit with full force again. Claribel happened to notice his struggle to get up off the ground. She didn't expect him to weaken so quick but the Sandshrew did seem like a tough opponent. She told Neco to use tackle one last time. It was decided. If this didn't finish off the Sandshrew or at least send it on its way, she would end the battle in one way or another but she wasn't going to put her Pineco through much more. She may not care a lot about pokemon on an emotional level, but letting one of hers die early on because of her own annoyance would be foolish and idiotic. ::pineco:: Used Tackle

Sandshrew tried desperately to dodge the incoming attack. She didn't deserve this, did she? All she had wanted was for these damn kids to get off her lawn, and now she had been brutally attacked by this barbarian of a child. She hissed weakly as the Pineco's form smashed into her, only her hardened scales preventing critical damage and fainting. She had been weak before, but this took the award for the weakest Sandshrew had ever been in a fight. Claws glowing faintly as she took advantage of the Pineco's close range, she brought her claws down savagely on his eyes, hoping that he would go down easily if she blinded him. At the same time, she kicked up a flurry of sand with her feet, eyes full of hate for the kid who had disturbed her sleep. ::sandshrew:: Sandshrew used Scratch and Sand Attack.
