Summer was coming to a close and fall was due to start soon, and as the leaves would change in the fall, Kai stepped on to La Premiere Route. She closed her eyes and breathed in the deep sense of nature. She could hear distant bird Pokémon chirping, the rustle of the grasses in the wind. This was like home to her, more so than the city ever was.
Kai did not have the typical trainer’s appearance. Her hair was cut short, but her bangs were long. It wasn’t a long jump to assume she was a guy. Her hands were buried deep in her blue jean pockets. She dug the toe of her gray converse into the dirt, shifting her weight somewhat nervously.
Bouncing around her feet was a small blue Pokémon, a Poliwag. Ripple, over enthusiastic as always, waddled around Kai. Watching the small Pokémon with some amusement, Kai picked it up, carrying him in her arms. She can’t be scared now, her journey had only just begun. With a deep breath, and a firm decision, she took the first steps along the beaten path.

A skitty was taking her noontime walk, looking around and admiring the scenery around here. Oh, how she boasted to the pokemon of other areas how colorful Route 1 was - the way she described it made them want to live here themselves. There was not a day she'd go by without being surprised.
And today was no different - this time, she happened upon an odd-looking trainer that she mistook for a boy. Hoping to charm "him" into giving her some sort of treat, she walked up to Kai and rubbed her soft, orange fur against her leg.

Kai looked down with some surprise. A small cat like Pokémon was rubbing up against her leg in a seemingly affectionate way. Kai knelt down to get a better look at the Pokémon. It had a moon shaped face, pink fur coating most of its back with a cream undercoat. It seemed to have a smile so large it had to squint. The kitten Pokémon’s tail swooshed back and forth, looking much like the needle holders used when sewing.
Ripple fled from Kai’s arms to greet this new Pokémon. He leapt about the pink Pokémon. <Hiya! I’m Ripple, wanna play?> Kai watched with some curiosity. How on earth could such a small Pokémon have so much energy? She pushed her bangs out of her eyes, keeping an eye on the mischievous little Poliwag.

Skitty paused in her attempt to gain affection from Kai in order to survey the new pokemon, one eye gazing upon the tadpole. <No, but I am rather hungry. Does your trainer have anything to eat?> She mewed, sitting delicately onto the dusty ground. She curled her strange tail around her body, as if posing to be a model, as she awaited the water pokemon's response.

Ripple shook his head. <No, but I’m sure we could find some!> Ripple grinned widely, <Come on!> He darted off, straying from the path. He bounced as he ran, looking back to make sure the Skitty was following.
“Ripple! Don’t take off!” Kai called, surprised by his sudden dash. She jumped to her feet and jogged trying to catch up. She could hear the undergrowth crush under her feet. Kai stole a glance backwards, how far from the path were they going? Would they be able to get back? Kai bit her lip, she couldn’t turn back without Ripple.
Ripple seemed so carefree, bouncing around from bush to bush looking for some berries for the Skitty <They have to be here somewhere!>

Skitty followed slowly and daintily behind, her tail swaying side to side as she padded over. Her haughty eyes gazed at the hyperactive poliwag as he searched for berries. Then, suddenly, she spotted something protruding from a bush that looked like a berry. She walked up to it and touched it with her tail. Then it rattled, followed by a hissing noise.
The pink feline quickly backed up in fear, her widened eyes beholding an ekans that had been nesting in the bush. <Do you wisssssh for sssssomething?> Hissed the snake as she slithered closer, her eyes showing annoyance. Skitty coughed, gagging a little, then unleashed a hairball onto the ground. Her head bowed slightly in fear. <Uh... I-I'm not quite so hungry anymore..> She mewled, anticipating an attack from the ekans that was edging closer to her.

Kai noticed the Ekans before Ripple had. She slid to a stop next to the Skitty. “Ripple!” She called sternly. As far as catching Pokémon, she did not care much for the Skitty. However the Ekans could be helpful.
Ripple looked back at Kai’s call. There was his new friend, in danger from an Ekans. <Hey! Back off!> He shouted from a few yards away, determined to protect the Skitty. For being roughly two feet tall, Ripple had a lot of guts calling out the Ekans like that.
Kai noticed Ripple’s look of strength. Good, they’d need it. It’d be disastrous if Ripple simply tried to befriend the Ekans. Kai’s hand reached into her pocket & pulled out an empty pokeball.

At Ripple's call, Ekans swiveled her head towards the poliwag. Skitty nabbed that chance to run towards Kai, hiding behind the trainer's leg. <Y-yeah, back off!!> She added, agreeing with Ripple.
::skitty::
The serpent slithered towards the tadpole coldly until she was able to peer down at him, tongue flicking out and in as she took in the trainer and pokemon's scents. <Oh? You think you can sssstop me?> The cruel snake hissed, smiling widely to show off her poison-tipped fangs.

Kai glared at the snake’s scales, glinting in the sunlight. “Ripple, Water Sport!” She called out, her tone firm and strong for the first time since she started out on this journey. She scooped up the Skitty, carrying the kitten in her arms and out of harm’s way.
Ripple did not back down as the Ekans slithered closer. He kept one eye on the Ekans and the other on Kai and the Skitty. He felt a power surge through him as he prepared to attack. Upon Kai’s command, he released a strong ring of water, soaking the Ekans who was only a few feet away. Since water wasn’t the best attack against Ekans, the two were hoping the water’s pressure would be enough to knock the Ekans down a notch.

The skitty felt the girl's warm arms around her and sighed, relaxed. Now she didn't have to worry about becoming the fearsome snake's prey.
The snake hardly blinked as the water gushed onto his face, since water sport was hardly an attack move - more like an attack you use to weaken fire attacks on yourself. Now the serpent was protected from flames, at least. She shook off droplets of water as she slithered towards the poliwag, attempting to wrap her body around the little water pokemon.

Kai bit her lip, this wasn’t looking good. “Bubble!” She called out. Ripple struggled with the Ekans trying to unwrap himself from the snake. He managed to face the Ekans eyes, tilting his head slightly and allowing a stream of Bubbles to burst from his small mouth. With the extremely close range, Ripple hoped to have an impact strong enough to break free from the wrap.

The barrage of bubbles popped in ekan's face, causing the snake to hiss in pain. However, the reptile was not ready to give up yet - she continued to squeeze Ripple, punishing the Pokémon for protecting the prey that had disturbed her rest. She was hungry, too, and skitties were especially delicious. Seeing one get away from her was dissapointing.

“Again Ripple!” Kai squeezed the Skitty close in fear for Ripple. “Any chance you know how to distract?” She asked, meaning for it to be a rhetorical question and yet hoping that the Skitty could help. Ripple continued to struggle with the Ekans, the wrap making it almost impossible to move. The snake’s death grip was taking a toll on Ripple. <I will not give up,> He snarled, firing off more bubbles at the Ekans.

Skitty was seeing the horrific sight of ekans squeezing the life out of poliwag. She knew she had to act even before Kai asked her to. Jumping down from Kai's arms, the kitten turned around, raised her tail, and wagged it delicately in the direction of the Ekans.
::skitty:: Skitty used Tail Whip on Ekans.
The snake took the bait. The serpent dropped the poliwag onto the ground, then slithered up to the Skitty and prepared to wrap her tail around her; however, the feline was too afraid to stay in the fray and ran back to Kai, cowering and shielding her face with her huge tail. The snake hissed in disgust, then turned back to Ripple and aimed a cold stare at him - a Leer.

The Ekans had dropped its wrap, letting Ripple free. Ripple did not wait for Kai’s next command. He spat out bubbles at an amazing rate, aim at the sly snake. The wet spheres, which once looked cute and shiny, now shone in the bright sunlight like blue balls of pain. Kai quickly picked up a few rocks that had been scattered about on the ground. She tossed them at the Ekans from behind. With her bad aim however, most missed.

The snake hissed in pain as the bubbles popped against her face once more. The pain was beginning to get to her, but she was still going strong in the fight. She desired revenge against these fools.
The poisonous pokemon noticed that the human was trying to throw rocks at her. They all missed, but she hissed with laughter. <Look at the silly human, trying to help his weak little friend,> She said harshly. Then, hoping that distracted Ripple enough, she slithered over and attempted to wrap the Poliwag once again.

Ripple snarled. <At least she isn’t as much of a scum bag as you are, trying to hurt that poor Skitty!> He was bouncing back as the Ekans slithered closer, but it was too late. He was in a wrap once again. Kai called out “Come on Ripple, use Bubble once more!” There was something different about Kai when she battled; a look of fierceness over took her naturally glazed eyes. Ripple took as deep of a breath in as the Ekans restraints would allow and exhaled another stream of bubbles. Kai clicked the small pokeball she had been holding, enlarging it and preparing to throw it.

Ekans attempted once more to lean her head away from the bubblage, but the poliwag was always too close to do so, being in her grasp. The strong bubbles popped once more on her, causing her to hiss in pain and annoyance. She could feel her consciousness slipping away, but she was sure she could survive this turn at least.
She attempted once more to squeeze the poliwag, strong muscles aiding her efforts. Her breath was rasping, but she hoped she could somehow turn the tables before succumbing to her foes.

Ripple cried out from the Ekans powerful wrap. Kai frowned; knowing Ripple wouldn’t last much longer. She took a few steps closer to the two Pokémon. Her primary concern had shifted from catching the Ekans to checking on Ripple’s health. “That’s enough,” Her voice was soft, she threw the empty pokeball at the Ekans with the hopes of ending this battle.

The pokeball hit the ekans' head, swallowing the hissing, aggravated snake inside with its red light. The ball shook greatly as the ekans, in an attempt to escape the ball, crashed against the sides of it. However, what made her stay inside was the thought that maybe she could exact revenge on her new trainer and Pokémon throughout their lives. The idea of such a cruel vengeance was what kept the ekans from breaking out and staying inside. She hissed a maniacal laugh and allowed the pokeball to finally come to a stop.

You caught an ekans!
Name: Type: Gender: Level: 7 Ability: Shed Skin / Intimidate Attacks: Wrap, Leer Personality: Vicious, Vengeful, hates Ripple and Kai {may change over time}

Skitty, still quivering in fear, stepped out from behind Kai's leg. She shook her fur, trying to regain her composure, but couldn't. Those horrid snakes were her worst fear. <Uh.. I think I'll go now..> She mewled, then made to leave.
Skitty is leaving - interfere or Move on?
