Nathara walked out of the Pokemon Center and looked around. She had been so tired the previous evening that the girl had barely registered her surroundings as she searched for a place to rest and heal her pokemon. Now that the sun was bright again, and she was feeling refreshed, she could fully appreciate the city. This wasn't like any other big, bustling city full of flashing lights and loud sounds. Instead, the streets were rather quiet, and the sidewalk wasn't too dirty or worn. That might change as the day went on, however. It was only seven in the morning.
Razel glanced around at his surroundings, but for a completely different reason. He was looking for pokemon that might want to fight. With a good night's rest and a warm breakfast from the kind nurse, he was ready for a battle.
Nathara smiled contently, then dug around in her bag. Which pokemon should she bring out? Tego was always a good choice, but Irene would love to see the city. Mortis and Vexant were both poor companions, but Comis would benefit from the sun. Anima was already proving a joy to travel with, as well.
Well, you can't have everyone out.
After a few moments of consideration, she took out Irene's pokeball, and released the sentret. Irene smiled up at her, then nodded to Razel.
<What a wonderful place! The sun is so warm here, and the ground is clean.>
She danced around, then climbed up onto Nathara's back. Even she knew that it would be best to stick close to the human, in case a stray pokemon was looking for breakfast.
"Ready to go, Irene?"
The sentret nodded, resting happily on her trainer's shoulders. Razel fidgeted impatiently. Noticing her partner's eagerness, Nathara stiffled a giggle.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a good fight or two."
He nodded, then pointed with his claw to where the sidewalk went to their right.
<I think we should go that way. It seems as good a direction as any.>
Nathara nodded.
"That sounds fine with me. Let's go."
She started walking in the gestured direction, Irene humming a strange song in her ear and Razel following, his senses on high alert.

<Borrrrrred.> A sharp trill of electronic buzzing emerged from the streets; the source resembled a red and white ball. Almost like a Pokeball, except a lot bigger. Oh, and it had a face. A little boy had been peeking at him for a while now, without the Voltorb noticing, and that little boy had an intense desire to see how far he could kick it. The Voltorb merely rolled along in the street, having no purpose or destination.
The people in the city were used to seeing Wild Pokémon around here, and merely ignored them and walked around them. In this case, it was no different. It was a docile Pokemon, only with extreme tendencies to blow up when provoked. It buzzed once more, trying to find an idea that would entertain it until the day finally ended. That was when a sharp kick to its hiney sent the Pokémon air-borne, and with a frightened shriek it was headed right for Razel’s face.
Appeared?

The trio made their way down the street, stopping every once in a while to admire a building or watch a street performer. They hadn't been walking for very long when a large sphere suddenly came hurtling at Razel.
The sneasel had been waiting impatiently for Irene and Nathara to finish watching a fountain when he saw the speeding pokemon out of the corner of his eye. Not sure what was happening, he had barely enough time to bring his claws up to his face in an attempt to avoid serious injury.
Just as this happened, the sentret and her trainer turned away from the beautiful decoration. There wasn't anything they could do, however, as they watched the two pokemon collide.

As the Voltorb bounced off of Razel’s body, it thumped to the ground and ricocheted lightly back up before settling on the ground once more. The collision sent shivers all over its body, making it feel weak from the fright. It had no idea what had just happened to it, but all it knew was that it was in pain. Weakly opening its eyes, it blinked in shock to see another Pokémon that appeared damaged as well. Did…did it crash into him? The Voltorb stared into the silence, trying to compute this matter into its brain.
<Pain?> It asked, it’s voice in one odd pitch as it asked this question. Words were limited to this Pokemon, but it was able to understand far more words than it was able to speak. It looked at the Sneasel with concern, trying to see how bad the wound was. Sure, there was a painful bruise on its own backside, but it could handle it.

Razel crouched into a defensive position just as the impact happened. Pain seared through the arms he had thrown up for protection, and he squeezed his eyes shut. After the initial pain died down, his limbs began to throb with an almost numb stinging sensation. Slowly, he lowered the injured arms back to his sides.
The voltorb was looking at him with clear concern in it's eyes. Razel had never seen his kind of Pokémon before, but the wild Pokémon seemed like a rather peaceful individual.
<Pain? Yeah, a little, but I'll be fine.>
Irene jumped down from Nathara's shoulders and ran over to her injured friend. The the skin on the sneasel's arms had burst from the force of the collision, and tiny drops of blood were shining in the light.
<Razel, are you alright?>
Nathara joined the three pokemon, mirroring the voltorb's look of concern.
"Should we return to the Pokémon Center?"
<No! I'm alright, really.>
The trainer hesitated, but after examining her partner's wounds and finding no serious damage besides the fact that Razel's bones would probably be bruised, she turned to the round Pokémon.
"And are you alright? What happened, anyway?"
As she said this, she searched through her bag until she pulled out her Pokedex. After turning the device on, she scanned the strange orb.

Voltorb; The Ball Pokemon
Voltorb is extremely sensitive - it explodes at the slightest of shocks. It is rumored that it was first created when a Poké Ball was exposed to a powerful pulse of energy. The Voltorb felt a sense of relief when the Sneasel admitted that he would be fine, having been worried that it would have caused a fight of some sorts. Glad that its nasty Statis ability hadn’t caused him any harm in the slightest degree, the Voltorb spun around to show its delight. The trainer approached it suddenly, almost catching it off guard before remembering that these were friendly strangers. Not something the ball Pokémon encountered often.
<Buzzap.> It responded, bobbing its head up and down. Ok, so it understood the question, but couldn’t offer an answer to explain it. Not even the ball Pokémon understood what had happened to it, and the offender was most likely long gone by now, only getting away with the crowd as a shield.
<Leaving.> The Voltorb announced, not wanting to cause the group any more discomfort that it had already caused. With a small rocking motion, it began to propel itself forward by rolling around on the sidewalk…except it kept bumping into people now. ”Hey!” “Watch it!” “Ow!” Several voices perked up in annoyance as it rolled into the back of their feet.
Is trying to leave.

Nathara listened closely to the Poxedex's description of the wild pokemon as it started to roll away.
Explodes at the slightest of shocks?
The voltorb wasn't doing very well at avoiding such impacts. Even now he was running into people's feet. If that continued, it was only a matter of time before someone got hurt. Razel, who was also listening to the device, came to the same conclusion.
"Wait, Voltorb!"
She jogged after the electric type, Razel and Irene following.
"Voltorb, please be careful. You seem to have been quite fortunate so far, but from what I can tell, rolling down the sidewalk like that is very dangerous."

Hearing the familiar girl’s voice, the Voltorb turned around to face the group, a bit startled that it had caused them such worry. By going away, hadn’t it relieved them of any stress that it already gave them? What else could it do? Starting to look worry with panic, the Voltorb tilted its head to the left and right in a repetitive motion as the girl spoke, not comprehending her words in its state of panic. Was it bad? It didn’t like being bad. All it wanted was to be nice and not be in anybody’s way, and that wasn’t bad, was it?
<Overload. Overload. Ger-bazzit.> The Voltorb spoke in a rising high pitched sound, its body gathering what little power it had already stored up from the stress of today’s events. It couldn’t use a Self-destruct that could harm other Pokemon, but it could blow itself up in a mini explosion. A very, very tiny one that only hurt itself.
With its body flashing from red to white with the building up power, the Voltorb let out a warning cry as the energy was suddenly released. Again, it wouldn’t be painful to anyone else. Unless they had really sensitive eyes or something. Instead, the power that was built up within the ball Pokemon had failed to leave its body, and instead it was an inward explosion. Grunting from the pain, the Voltorb rolling backwards and onto its side, completely exhausted.
::voltorb:: Blows itself up. At half HP.

Nathara stifled a gasp as the unfortunate voltorb suddenly exploded. The flash didn't do any harm to the observers, but it rolled onto it's side, drained of energy.
"Are you alright?"
Her voice was bordering on panic as she rushed to the pokemon's side, ignoring the confused looks of other people. Razel followed quickly, with Irene trailing cautiously behind him.
<I'm sorry if we caused that...>
The sneasel grimaced sympathetically as he saw just how much that explosion had injured the electric type. Nathara looked around in her bag.
"Here, do you need a potion? It won't heal you completely, but it'll help."
She pulled out one of her two remaining potions, and held it so the voltorb could see.

<Healthy. Healthy. Function. Buzzat.> The Voltorb repeated as soon as Nathara offered it the Potions, and it recognized them instantly as well. There have been other kind humans out there that have used them on it, and often it felt guilty about taking advantage of their kindness. The Voltorb spun around more and more, feeling even more stressed that it was causing them such worry. It had to get out of here! Lest they try and waste their efforts taking care of it! Not on its watch!
It made a beeline through the street, fueled by a strong desire to escape from the trainer and her crew. Several cars honked in a rage at the sight of the ticking time bomb, the drivers within them shouted frightened curses as they slammed the brakes at the last second.
Flinching from the close call, the Voltorb made an effort to get back onto the side walk, despite the height of the curb. Seeing as that didn’t work, it made an effort to hop over it, but it rolled back off, stuck on the very edge of the road.
::voltorb:: Is in trouble. D:

Nathara watched in dismay as the voltorb tried to escape. The injured pokemon rolled into the street, and cars started honking angrily. Trying to avoid the vehicles, it eventually came to a stop at the edge of the street, looking like it had hardly the will left to move.
Why was this pokemon so desperate to get away? She couldn't just leave it lying there, though. It might get hit by a car or bicycle. Nathara walked over to the still voltorb, then knelt down.
"I'm sorry, but I can't leave you like this. Would you please let me help?"
Her two companions came over. Razel was a little tired of this chasing game, and his arms still throbbed painfully. Irene, on the other had, wanted this voltorb safe justy as badly as her trainer.
<I...don't think it's safe, standing in the street like this.>
The trainer and sneasel both nodded in agreement. Nathara looked down at the injured pokemon, then ever so gently reached down to pick it up. The voltorb looked rather heavy, and the risk of being shocked contributed to her hesitation, but she wasn't sure if it could move on it's own.

The Voltorb turned towards both trainer and Pokemon with a guilty expression, really wishing that they would just leave it alone. It was for their own good, right? It looked towards the weakest of the group, a small Sentret that looked too shy and fragile to belong in the city, and made up its mind. If it was going to get out of here, it had to scare them off somehow. Nodding to itself at its really bad concept of a plan, the Voltorb sprang into action.
<Go!> It girbbled out in a strange but coherent language, electricity gathering around its body to get itself revved up. If that wasn’t a clue enough to get back, then the next action it made ought to be more than clear. With a furious rock of its body towards the Sentret, it started to propel itself forward in the street right at her, to the dismay of cars and pedestrians that were slowing down to watch the scene.

Nathara jumped back when the wild pokemon started to crackle with energy. Razel fell into a defensive position, but realized too late that he wasn't the target. As it rolled towards Irene, she wasn't sure what to do. Dodge? Fight back?
The tackle connected, and despite the fact that her opponent was weak and injured, she was sent flying a couple feet. With a pitiful squeak, she pushed herself up again.
Razel, enraged at the dishonorable attack on a weaker pokemon, ran in with a Scratch attack. This voltorb wasn't getting away with hurting a weaker member of their team! While this was all happening, all Nathara could do was crouch down beside Irene.
"Are you alright?"
The dazed rodent blinked up at her.
<Yeah, I think so.>
"Good. I'm not sure what level that pokemon is, but Razel should be able to fend him off."
<What about his arms?>
Razel had either forgotten about his injury, or had decided that it was worth the risk, because he was using Scratch.
"Well, we can deal with anything that happens afterwards. Worst comes to worst, we walk back to the Pokemon Center."
Together, they watched the unexpected battle uneasily.

Luckily for Razel, Voltorb was more of an offensively structured Pokemon that wasn’t that durable with any kinds of attacks at all. While its Tackle most likely did a lot of damage against the Sentret, what the Sneasel did to it was about as bad with its health at half.
Grunting from the blow, it ended up pushing the Voltorb right onto the sidewalk, something it had been trying to do for a while now. A bit caught up in the moment, the Voltorb started to crackle with more electricity. Static had activated upon contact with the Sneasel, but it only had a 30% chance of working.
<Go.> It repeated with more energy, feeling its health slowly escape its grip. It wanted to frighten off the Sneasel, who now seemed convinced that it was a Pokemon that needed to fight. Grunting as it spun around rapidly, blades of wind started to cut through the air, aimed right at the Sneasel. The Sonicboom would hurt anyone, really. Regardless of how defensive they were.
::voltorb:: Hit by Scratch. Uses Sonicboom. Voltorb is weakening. Capture/Attack?

Razel watched as a strange ripple of energy came towards him. He had never seen this move before, but his anger snuffed out the spark of curiosity. With a growl, he stood his ground as the attack connected. All of the damage seemed to focus on his ears, and he moved to cover them with his claws. This didn't work to block out the sound, however, and he felt a knot of uncertainty form inside of him. What if he couldn't win this fight?
When the attack was finally over, he straitened, a wince glued onto his face. Irene gave another frightened squeak, and debated with herself whether she should help her friend. This voltorb was way stronger than her, but Razel hadn't taken that attack very well, whatever it was. Nathara instinctively knew what Irene was considering, and spoke up.
"Leave this to Razel. Don't forget, you're injured too."
The sentret looked up at her, dismayed.
<But...>
"No, I have confidence in his abilities."
Nathara turned her attention back to the battle. Voltorb was looking faint. Instantly, she was left with the same dilemma she had had with Vexant. Catch it, or leave it be. This pokemon obviously didn't want to be caught, but as she had said before, she couldn't just leave it. Should she deal with this like she had before? The guilt still throbbed when she thought about Vexant, but this pokemon was in trouble.
With a troubled sigh, she reached into her bag for a pokeball. She wouldn't throw it yet, but she would if this voltorb went unconscious.
Razel, oblivious to her trainer's worry, prepared himself for another attack. After sending a Leer at his opponent, he charged forward with a Quick Attack, determined to end this battle quickly. If he didn't down this pokemon in the next turn or so, he might not win.

The Sneasel was fast, it had to admit as it turned into a blur, charging right at the ball Pokemon ready to make the blow. However, it wasn’t known as one of the fastest Pokemon in the city for nothing. Scoffing as it spun swiftly to the side, managing to dodge the weakened Sneasel’s Quick Attack, the Voltorb couldn’t help but realize its own weakness. The Sneasel might have been slower, but it had enough attack power to take the Voltorb out if he managed to get enough attacks in. With a cackle of electricity, the Voltorb made an unstable wobble before catching itself, looking around with worry.
’Weaker. Weaker.’ The word repeated itself like a constant stream of water flowing around its mind, bringing some comfort to it as it focused on the situation at hand. Calming down despite the even match between the Pokemon, the Voltorb remained stubborn with its will to fight of the Sneasel. Things were becoming intense really fast, and it wasn’t sure who to blame.
Instead of going for another Sonicboom, which took a little more time to charge up and use, the Voltorb went in for a much quicker Tackle on the Sneasel. It was all going on rather quickly, that not even it was certain of what was going to happen from this move.
::voltorb:: Dodged Quick Attack. Uses Tackle. Is weak. Capture/Attack?

Razel skidded to a stop as he charged past the voltorb, his attack not hitting it's mark. This wasn't good at all. What if he was taken down by a pokemon that was already injured? It would be absolutely humiliating. He couldn't let this electric type win!
This train of thought was disrupted by another flash of pain as his opponent connected with a Tackle. He stumbled back a few steps, dazed by the sudden attack. He had lost focus! This battle definitely wasn't going as planned.
Nathara flinched as Razel was hit again. How much longer was this going to continue? She could throw the ball now...
Irene glanced up at her again, worry shining in the sentret's eyes.
<We have to help him.>
"I know."
Biting her lip, she looked down at the sphere she held in her hand. It might not work, but it was better than not trying at all. Finally making up her mind, she threw the pokeball at Voltorb. Razel saw the object flying through the air, and a wave of relief washed through him. Maybe he wouldn't have to finish this battle after all.

The Pokeball took the Voltorb completely by surprised, as it had already started building up a tremendous amount of energy with a Charge attack in case the Sneasel struck. In this condition, Razel would very easily be at risk for a paralysis condition with all of the electricity dancing around the electric type’s body. Of course that didn’t happen, because there was a concerned trainer backing up the dark type.
It grunted as it was sucked in against its will, suddenly being overcome with emotions. Weakness was sinking in like a heavy anchor, and soon its thoughts were becoming reorganized within all of the stress. What was really happening within the sphere was the Voltorb starting to settle down, realizing what it had done, and had went into a state of reflection. Within this time period, the Pokeball successfully captured it while it was still trying to understand what was going on.
You get: VoltorbAt Low Health! Level: 11 Abilities: { Soundproof + Static } Attacks: Charge, Tackle, Sonicboom Razel gains half a level. [/center]

Nathara let out the breath she was holding as the pokeball clicked shut. It worked! She hadn't expected to successfully catch the wild pokemon, but now that both battlers were safe, she could relax.
Razel stared dully at the still pokeball, his initial relief gone. Nathara hadn't expected him to win, so she had interfered. His pride in shreds, he looked up at the human.
<Thanks.>
Nathara could tell that the sneasel was very disappointed, either in himself or his trainer.
"Razel, I couldn't have you fainting when we've just left the Pokemon Center. You don't want to miss later battles, do you?"
He reluctantly shook his head. Irene waddled up to the dark type, an encouraging smile on her face.
<Thank you for saving me.>
His face burned in sudden embarrassment.
<Oh, uh...it was nothing.>
While the two pokemon were talking, Nathara walked over to the pokeball and picked it up gently. After brushing it clean with her hands, she stowed it away in her bag.
"Razel, I think you should rest for a while in your ball."
<What? I'm fine!>
Dspite his claims, Razel looked very nearly like he had just been run over by a car.
"I don't think so. In a little while, we'll loop around and go back to the Pokemon Center."
After she said this, she took out Razel's ball and called him inside. Once the sphere closed again, and it was placed with the other pokemon, she turned to Irene.
"Ready to continue?"
The sentret nodded, and climbed back onto Nathara's shoulders. The crowd that had gathered to watch the battle was slowly dissipating, and the two continued down the street.

Dangling on a web of her own making, Spinarak twisted and turned in glee. She was hanging from a building, quite far from the ground, but she could lower herself if she really wanted to. Seeing the girl and her Pokemon calm down the Voltorb and catch it, Spinarak was intrigued. rotating slowly, she lowered herself down to rapidly appear right in front of Nathara's face. >Hi!< she exclaimed, the facial patterns on her back changing to a look of happiness. ::spinarak::
