Nathara rubbed her hands together nervously at the battered, bruised, and bleeding appearance of the krabby. Of course, after a visit to the Pokemon Center he would be fine, but it was still a little distressing to see a pokemon in pain like that. She really needed to stop being so soft about this sort of thing.
Razel was surprised by the sudden attack. It wasn't preceded by any stat-affecting move, unlike the previous rounds. Bracing himself for impact, he shifted and ducked in a way that presented his shoulder as the target instead of his more vulnerable middle. It was the best he could do, considering he had no time to dodge. The strong claws broke through his Reflect, and grabbed his left arm with enough force to draw blood. Fortunately, the move wasn't strong enough to do damage to the bone. He pulled his limb free, and didn't even wait for Nathara's order before launching into a point blank Quick Attack.

Youngster John { Crackle } Level 13 (Defense -3) Hit by Quick Attack Fainted. Razel gains a level.
Feeling his claw strike into the Sneasel’s reflect covered body, Crackle grinned victoriously, that is, until he saw that the ice type could still move. If he was going to be attacked again, he knew he had to move out of the way, especially after that close, physical strike. As a Krabby, he had a habit of walking sideways, and he scuttled with a frightened pace as the Quick Attack blew him over. His defense was only too low at this point, and the ninja strike was all that was needed to make the finishing blow. He could only make out a gurgle of a sound as he landed in the soft snow, cushioned from his fall.
”Aww, Crackle!” John stomped his feet in the ground, but not out of anger. It was the best way he could let out his frustration without seeming like too much of a sore loser. He faked a grin, taking out the shiny Krabby’s Pokeball and returning it on the spot. He would’ve liked to have won with a bravado stride, but luck was not on his side.
”I think I hear my mom calling me. I gotta go.” He started backing up, trying not to feel too sorry for himself and the loss. That Sneasel really was a cool Pokémon and all, but it was just too strong for Crackle. He ran off in a direction that was populated with small houses, the susurrous voice of his mother calling in the wind.

Razel stumbled to a stop after the Quick Attack, and turned around to see that the krabby had fainted. He felt a little bad about damaging such a nice pokemon, but that's how things went. Pokémon battled, and those that were faster or stronger were more likely to win.
Nathara watched, empathizing with the boy as he stomped out his frustration into the ground. She knew how horrible losing felt, and didn't blame him in the least.
"That was a good battle. Crackle held his own pretty well."
As John ran off to his calling mother, she turned back to Razel. The sneasel was stretching out his sore muscles, obviously waiting for the speed drop to wear off.
"Are you alright? How did you fare?"
Razel looked over at her with a content smile.
<I'm fine. Isn't battling wonderful?>
Nathara laughed, then motioned to her bag.
"Would you like to go back into your pokeball? Or at least a potion to help your energy recover?"
<Uh...nah, I'm good. Might need one later, though.>
She nodded, and the two set off again, Dominay still lounging wordlessly on the girl's shoulder.

<I don't think anyone is coming.> A voice said. The other voice hissed. <I'm sure someone IS coming, I just know it! I just know, don't fight with me!> Around the corner two silky Pokemon laid side by side. Unable to move really they were stuck in the middle of the sidewalk. <Oh, wait, I hear footsteps!> The Silcoon blinked her kind eyes at the Trainer coming their way. <Excuse me! Would you mind helping us?> The Cascoon hissed. <We don't need help, we can get there just fine.> The Silcoon rolled her eyes. <Oh, I am not shooting string over there.> The two kept it up until they noticed the Trainer was right before them. <Excuse me!> The Silcoon called out again.

It was getting late in the afternoon, and the streets were becoming quieter as people retired to their houses before evening set in. In fact, Nathara thought that turning in early wouldn't be so bad herself. They had all worked hard today, and deserved a relaxing few hours in the room.
At about the same time this idea occurred to her, a polite voice pulled her out of her thoughts. Two cocoon pokemon sat on the sidewalk, one looking eager while the other seemed slightly annoyed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. Do you need help?"
Razel snorted in amusement at his introverted trainer, and nodded his conformation.
<The pale one says that they need help.>
Now that she had a few seconds to examine the pokemon before them, she was able to identify their species. Silcoon and cascoon both evolved into good bug type pokemon, but were mostly immobile until then.
I wonder how long they've been sitting there.
"Thank you Razel. What can I do for you two?"
Dominay ignored the conversation, and focused on memorizing the details of the two wild pokemon. They didn't seem like very desirable forms, but no-one knows when something might be useful.

::silcoon:: ::cascoon:: Pokemon encounter ! <Uh, yeah. You see that tree over there?> The Silcoon replied to the trainer's kind offer to help. With a tilt of one of the insect's spikes, he indicated a tree a few meters away that held a few clusters of berries. <We fell out of it, so we need you to um... put us back up.> To be honest, all they really wanted was to feed on those precious berries. It was hard to find food in winter time.
Sighing bitterly, the Cascoon used some of his energy to roll his body, managing to move only a few inches before tuckering out. Preferring to say nothing, the cuccoon muttered under his breath. From where Nathara was standing, it would sound like a susurrous echo.

Nathara listened to the pokemon's quiet request. Get them back into the tree? Sure! There wasn't anything particularly hard about that. In fact, if she had Dominay transform into a sneasel, Razel and he could lift them back up in no time at all.
"Sure, we could do that. Dominay, would you please take Razel's shape?"
Dominay shifted his gaze from the two cocoon pokemon so that he was looking at the trainer.
<Sure.>
The blob made his way onto the ground, then focused on the image of the sneasel. In only a couple seconds, there were two almost identical dark types standing side by side. Razel, whom Nathara could recognize by his slightly battered appearance, reached down to pick up the silcoon. Dominay walked over, a little awkward in his new form, and helped Razel with his load.

::silcoon:: ::cascoon:: Pokemon encounter ! Silcoon's eye squinted as she grinned in response to the trainer's kindness. <Thanks!> She squeaked as the two Sneasels placed her onto a branch. It was relatively low, but there were a few berries scattered here and there around it. All she had to do was lower herself by a thread and nibble at them.
The Cascoon was still attempting to roll towards the tree, panting heavily each time he managed to pull forward. He'd only accomplished 3 rolls by the time his companion Silcoon was in the tree. <Fine, you can help me too!> He roared in frustration.
Suddenly, a few birds took notice of the cuccoon pokemon. Hungry for some insects, they flew quietly to the top of the tree and waited for the sneasels to deliver the Cascoon onto a low branch as well. As soon as Nathara left, they planned, they would strike and get an easy meal out of the immobile pokemon.
::silcoon:: In the tree! Thanks!
::cascoon:: Still trying to reach the tree. Help out?

Razel jumped down from the branch he had placed the silcoon on, and Dominay did the same.
<We were going to help you anyway.>
The real sneasel smiled as he said this, but it faltered as he heard a quiet fluttering.
It's probably nothing.
Usually he would have investigated, but he was still tired and sore from his previous battle, and it was getting late in the day. Overall, he was simply too exhausted to be curious. With Dominay's help, he lifted the cascoon off of the ground. Together, the two sneasels climbed up the tree to place the second pokemon next to the first.
Nathara watched as the two pokemon were hauled back into the tree, blissfully unaware of the danger the cocoons were in. After this, they would head back into their room for an early dinner.
"Good job, guys."

::cascoon:: ::silcoon:: Pokemon encounter ! The two cuccoon pokemon were stable on the branches the sneasels helped them onto. The Cascoon had grumbled to himself as the two pokemon carried him up to the tree, not giving a thank you once he was placed on the branch. The Silcoon, however, was friendlier, giving an exuberant <Thank you!> from the thread she was holding onto.
The trainer was moving away. Now the birds were waiting for the human to dissapear into the distance so that they could strike without resistance. One bird, however, couldn't find the patience to wait. <Fooood!!!!> Screeched a Pidgey, diving down at the cuccoons. A crescendo of bird calls now sounded, scolding and berating the impatient bird, and two others flew down with him in an attempt to get some food for themselves. The greedy birds prepared to attack the insects, who were now screaming for help from Briaka.

Once the two pokemon were safe in their tree, the trio said goodbye and started to walk away.
"How does turning in for the night sound? We could hang in the room for a while and review the day."
Razel nodded in agreement, and Dominay (who was still in the form of a sneasel) shrugged.
<That sounds rather nice, actually. It's been a long day.>
An avian cry sounded behind them, and there was a terrified call for help. They spun around to look for the source, and were met with the sight of three bird pokemon viciously attacking the cocoons they had helped moments before. For a second, Nathara's mind whirled for a proper way to react.
On one hand, those are sentient beings being attacked right there. I can't just stand by and watch them get eaten. On the other, though, those birds need food. Without those two pokemon as a meal, they'll go hungry.
When it came right down to it, though, those two bug pokemon were defenseless. If they were able to defend themselves, Nathara might have left the battle alone, but they weren't.
With her mind made up, the trainer reached hastily into her bag and withdrew Orbit's pokeball. After releasing the electric type, she shouted out her orders.
"Orbit, I want you to use Spark on that spearow! After that, you two use Quick Attack on the same target."
Instantly, her team jumped into action. Orbit took a second to charge his attack, then sent his spark of electricity at the bird. The two sneasels waited for the attack to fly through the air before running forward with their own moves. Dominay was a little unsure about how to execute the move, but fortunately he had watched Razel use it enough times in the previous battle to have a good idea.

Pokemon encounter ! Silcoon and Cascoon were in vulnerable positions, but one thing they could do besides Tackle was String Shot; they shot the webby substance at the birds, completely enveloping them in the sticky, white stuff, which slowed them down for the turn. Although only a minute or so had passed, the two cuccoons had retained dire injuries from the sudden attack.
A Spearow who hadn't been hit by the String Shot crept closer, preparing to strike with a peck of its beak, but a sudden spark of electricity zapped her before she could land her attack. She turned towards the Voltorb, squawking angrily and taking flight to attack him, but the two Sneasels shot like gunfire towards her before she could even approach him. The quick attacks, together with the Spark, were enough to finish off the weak bird.
The other two Pidgeys now attempted to ignore the interfering trainer's pokemon, successfully tackling the Silcoon and Cascoon instead.
Both used Stringshot on Pidgey 1 & Pidgey 2! Hit by Tackle. Weak. ::pidgey:: Hit by Stringshot. Used Tackle on cuccoons.
Fainted.

Nathara felt a knot of worry tighten inside of her at the sight of just how weak the two cocoons already were. At least one bird was down, with only two to go. Razel didn't stop his attack to wait for orders, instead going for one of the pidgeys with a Scratch attack. Dominay regrouped with Orbit and his trainer, a little annoyed at having to battle. < Look, why don't we just leave these two to their fate? It's their lives, not ours.> The situation must have been more stressful to her than she realized, because she snapped back angrily at the transformed ditto. "As a trainer, I have a responsibility to the defenseless! You, as my pokemon, are obligated to obey my orders, and I command you to get back over there and protect those bugs!" She regretted her outburst instantly, but had no time to offer an apology now. Lives were on the line. "Orbit, use Spark again. Aim for the pidgey that Razel attacked." Orbit gave her a concerned look, but nodded. As he shot another spark forward into the chaotic battle, Dominay returned to the fight and lunged at the nearest bird to him. lv 14 Used Scratch on Pidgey 1 lv 20 Used Quick Attack on Pidgey 2 lv 14 Used Spark on Pidgey 1 (OOC: Yeah, that would be easier. ;D)

Pokemon encounter ! The cuccoons continued to spray web onto the birds, who were now too distracted by the interfering Pokémon to pay much attention to the insects. They were incredibly slowed down, which caused them to become unable to dodge the coming attacks easily.
The first Pidgey managed to swerve just out of the way of Razel's attack, but was hit by the Voltorb's shock of electricity, which clipped his wings and sent him tumbling to the ground. Groaning with pain, the bird stood back up and glared at the pokeball pokemon before rushing at him, attempting to ram his feathered body into him.
The other pidgey was unable to dodge the pseudo-Sneasel's attack, giving a squawk of pain as his quick body rammed into hers. A huge difference in power left the bird gasping with pain, already weakening from the attack. After a moment's quick rest, the bird flapped her wings, sending up a gale towards the Ditto clone.

Dominay smiled coldly at the pidgey, then braced himself as a strong wind was blown in his direction. He had a surprisingly difficult time not being blown off of his feet, but managed to keep his footing. His limbs shook from the effort, but quickly recovered. If Razel's behavior was anything to go by, he was allowed to battle without waiting for Nathara's orders. With this in mind, he ran forward at his opponent again with Quick Attack.
Orbit braced himself for impact as the pidgey Razel and he were fighting flew at him. It wasn't worth the extra energy to dodge, seeing as this battle was going to be rather short-lived. A loud, metallic thud sounded as the beak made contact with his surface, and a dent was left where the keratin had hit. He tried to retaliate with Sonicboom while the bird was still in close range.
Razel watched as Orbit and the pidgey exchanged blows, feeling a glow of pride at the sight. Just this morning, they had saved the voltorb from possibly getting run over by a car, and now they were fighting side-by-side for the sake of two defenseless pokemon. He ran forward to help his friend, content with the fact that they were, and always would be comrades.
Nathara viewed the fight from the sidelines, feeling a little useless. She wasn't even able to give orders, since her pokemon were so embroiled in the battle that they were choosing their own moves. At least the two cocoons were safe.

Attack of the Birds
{ Pidgey 1 } Fainted
{ Pidgey 2 } Weakening Used Gust on Ditto
The Cascoon and Silcoon realized that the situation was being handled, so they backed off, both touched in their own ways from Nathara's words. She made it sound like her duty to defend them, though they appreciated it. The attacks blew at the Pidgey with an intense force, knocking it down effortlessly.
The remaining Pidgey stared helplessly as the Quick Attack soared after it, smashing into his side. It was strong-- much stronger than any of his attacks, but he held his ground with a defiant glare. As soon as that Sneasel was away from him, he planned on using a gust on his attacker. His wings opened up, making him appear a little bigger, and then he closed them together. The gust of wind he kicked up spiraled towards the look-a-like Sneasel, preparing to strike him from behind.

Razel and Orbit stood motionless for a moment, savoring their shared victory. The voltorb gave a content buzz, while the dark type smiled. This Dominay character bothered him, but Razel was secure in the knowledge that the rest of the team had a feeling of camaraderie that couldn't be destroyed.
Dominay was having quite a bit of trouble with his opponent. Despite being so much stronger than the pidgey, the ditto had yet to finish off his opponent. A sudden burst of wind from behind sent him flying into a nearby wall.
Stupid...pidgey...
He felt foggy from his head-on impact with the cement wall, and was content to lie there and let the other two finish off his fight. Razel and Orbit exchanged an amused look, then jumped in to help the downed ditto. Nathara walked over and knelt down beside the dazed pokemon.
"Are you okay?"
The fake sneasel stirred.
<Yeah, but that pidgey was more troublesome than expected.>
There was a pause.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you like that."
<Eh, it's fine. Sticking my neck out for others just isn't my thing.>
Nathara smiled.
"Get used to it. Something tells me that this isn't the last time."
Dominay changed back into his true form and they watched as the battle continued.

Wild Pidgey appeared! With his companion downed, the remaining Pidgey was beginning to panic. He noticed that the battle was now two on one--definitely not a good sign. As the Sneasel ran at him with claws outstretched, the flying-type began flapping his wings and attempted to fly out of the way, but his exhaustion slowed him down and he felt the Scratch attack hit him in the abdomen. He prepared to summon another gust of wind, but before he could do that he found himself being hit by the Voltorb's Spark--and then everything went black as he fell to the ground, defeated, beside his comrade. has fainted!Razel, Dominay, and Orbit gained .5 levels each!

Razel relaxed as the final bird dropped to the ground. It looked like everyone had gotten off with only minor injuries. The worst looking damage seemed to be the dent in Orbit's side.
<Orbit, are you okay?>
The voltorb nodded.
<Affirmative.>
<Good. Would you mind checking on the cocoons while I go talk to Nathara?>
<I shall.>
Orbit rolled off in the direction of the two bugs, while Razel made his way over to Dominay and his trainer.
<The birds should be waking up pretty soon. The bugs will have to be moved.>
Nathara nodded, and got to her feet. Dominay climbed up onto his usual position on her shoulder, and the three of them walked over to where Orbit was asking the bug pokemon if they were injured.

The bugs were shivering, and the Cascoon was bleeding from a wound inflicted by one of the Pidgey's full body assaults, but it was a flesh wound, and time would heal it. >We're fine,< muttered the Silcoon tot he approaching Voltorb, clearly shaken by the ambush from the trio of avians, but otherwise unharmed. >Th-thanks for helping us.... again.< She tried to sound cheerful through her own fear, her spines shaking uncontrollably. >A move sounds like a good plan,< said the Cascoon gruffly, nodding as well as he could in his circular cocoon form. >Got anywhere in mind for the move?< he asked expectantly, clearly expecting Nathara to do all the work yet again, and this time his companion was too shaken to tell him to put a lid on it. ::silcoon:: ::cascoon::
