As Apollo and Jet moved on, a pleasant scent met them. Jet's sensitive nose detected it a lot faster than Apollo did, but it was only a few seconds before Apollo smelled it too. That was strange...it was mid-Winter...what was this strange smell? The fragrance resembled flowers, but..shouldn't any flowers be dead at this point? Especially with the Hail they've had along the route recently. Eventually, the two came across the diligent Budew. "Oh, look at that..." Apollo muttered. He couldn't help but find it kind of cute that the Flower Bud Pokémon was trying to keep those plants alive, much like a gardener would in a human settlement. Jet took the liberty of jumping down to the ground and making his way over to the Budew. <Um...hi there.> Jet said as he approached, walking on his hind legs. <I'm, uh...Jet.... What are you doing...? I-if you don't mind my asking.> Something about this Budew got Jet's mind all scrambled, much like when Apollo met a stranger. But it was odd...since the Buizel wasn't usually very bad with meeting a new Pokémon. ::Buizel:: Greeting the Budew

The Budew was vigorously working on his plants when he was startled tremendously by a Pokemon who was standing nearby. he almost stumbled backwards onto his precious flower garden but managed to catch himself. He took a deep breath and sighed. ::budew:: <" Who the heck are you?"> he asked. He didn't mean to be quite as rude as he sounded but he was feeling embarrassed and had to counteract it by being a bit pompous. This Jet didn't seem like a bad Pokemon so he felt a little more at ease. He turned around and began working on his flowers again. ::budew:: <"I'm just working my flowers. Do you mind"? he asked.

Jet was kind of surprised at the Budew's reaction to when he spoke. But then again, he supposed it was to be expected. After all, he had kind of snuck up on him and just started to randomly speak to him. <S-sorry about that...> Jet muttered, rubbing the back of his head in his nervousness again. <Eheheh.... A-anyway...working on your flowers...?> He stopped and took a couple steps to the side so that he could get a better view of them. <They...look and smell very nice.> He responded, trying to make some small talk. <How did you keep them so alive like this...? It was hailing around here not too long ago.... I-if you d-don't mind my a-asking, I mean...heheh....> This conversation was simply getting more and more awkward for him. He admired the flowers more while he waited for the Budew's response. Why was it suddenly so hard to talk to this guy? Was it the smell of the flowers messing with him or something? Maybe it was just the fact that this was the first calm, non-threatening Pokémon he'd met thus far? Well, one way or another, he had to try to calm himself down...he shouldn't be this bad at speaking to another Pokémon. All the while, Apollo waited a few feet away, watching the whole thing. He couldn't help but find Jet's actions amusing. Tries to make conversation

The Budew's personality changed as the subject changed to his lovely flowers. <Oh, well you see. I have some friends who help water them and keep them safe. My flowers mean everything to me, I'd do anything to keep them safe.> He said proudly. The Budew cared to his flowers, taking a leaf with a small pond of water. He poured it on the patch of flowers, who knows how it survived through the tough winter weather. Maybe his friends were like Arceus or something.

Jet watched the Budew tend to his flowers for a little bit longer, being careful where he stepped so as to prevent himself from accidentally hurting his precious plants. Oh how he wished he could use his water abilities already. He would love to help the Budew water these plants with a gentle Water Gun. Unfortunately, he had yet to learn how to mange to get water out of his throat. He figured that he had better get going...without being able to really help much--he was never really good with his paws--he figured he'd just get in his way. <W-well, it was nice meeting you and your...flowers.> Jet said with a slight smile. Talking to him was getting a bit easier. <But...I should probably get going.... I mean...I don't want to be in your way or anything. And I definitely don't want to step on anything on accident...> he turned and started to carefully make his way back to Apollo, who had taken to sitting down in the snow and watch. <Maybe I'll come back sometime and help you tend to these every now and then...> he finished, climbing back up onto his Trainer's shoulders. The two of them turned to walk off, Jet giving one last wave of good-bye. If there was nothing to stop them from leaving then they'd just simply start walking off after waiting for any possible reply from the Grass-type Pokémon. ::Buizel:: Bids Budew farewell

The Budew smiled and waved his head in goodbye. <Good bye my new friends!> he cried out, his figure disappearing as the two walked away.
A Pokemon stood in the middle of the roar. His little ribbons crossed in front of his face. He started to chuckle darkly as the Buizel came near. <I can't believe you were nice to that Budew! What a wuss...playing with flowers, ha. When he could have done something better like play football or something.> The Chingling had a tough look to him, he was a manly Chingling apparently.

As Jet and Apollo continued to walk on, it wasn't long before they came across another Pokémon. This one was a Chingling. However, he seemed to know the Budew from before. Hearing the Chingling insult the Budew like that got on Jet's nerves rather quickly. He jumped down from Apollo's shoulders almost right away. <H-hey...you shouldn't just make fun of other people because they don't like to play rough....> Jet said, approaching the Chingling. The closer he got, the more nervous he became. This guy looked like one tough cookie.... <He seemed like he was a good guy...and...and I think he deserves a little more respect than what you give him...>Apollo saw Jet approach the wild Pokémon of his own accord. He didn't like Jet acting so quicklly like that...what if this Chingling attacked him? Apollo had been planning on starting to train Vance next...but if Jet wanted to fight again...then who was he to stop him? "Jet...be careful...." he muttered. Something about this Chingling just seemed...strong. "You don't know what he'll do...." The one thing he didn't want Jet to do was get too hurt.... ::Buizel:: Approached Chingling Defending Budew

<Well, you must be a loser like that Budew too,>the Chingling scoffed, rolling his eyes towards the Buizel. <If you were manly like me, you wouldn't even defend a wimp like that flower-loving idiot,>Chingling accused, squaring his stubby arms around his hips and glaring at Buizel with disapproving eyes. <I bet you're a pushover like that loser,>the Pokemon challenged, aggressively giving the Buizel a shove.

Jet listened to the Chingling's words and felt very offended by them. Why was this guy just...insulting him? They had only met just a few moments ago. <I-I'm not a loser.... And neither is that Budew....> Jet muttered, though still a bit timidly. He was shoved backward by the Chingling, stumbling backwards as a result. He managed to stay on his feet, though. <I-I'm not a pushover either...!> he retorted. He stepped back to where he had been standing only moments before. He wanted to push the Chingling back...but honestly, he was afraid to. Despite the fact that this Psychic Pokémon was smaller than him, he felt kind of afraid of him. Something about his presence was just...intimidating. Maybe it was just his personality. Apollo watched the Chingling push Jet...and he knew this was going to escalate into a battle. But he thought that Jet could handle himself.... In the meantime, he pulled out his Pokédex and scanned the Chingling. A bit of information might help him get more involved in his Pokémon's battle. Maybe give Jet some commands that weren't so...predictable and repetitive. ::Buizel:: Shoved Tries to not back down

Chingling let out a scoffing snicker, his body vibrating as he laughed. The ringing sound his little bell-shaped body made sounded like a harsh cacophony as he smirked at the Buizel. <Heh, you wimp. You are a pushover. I bet I can beat you and your Trainer in a fight any day,>the Chingling challenged, puffing out his chest to show how mighty he is. <C'mon wimp, let's battle. Maybe you can prove how tough you are,>the Psychic Pokemon taunted, letting out a derisive laugh as he shoved Buizel again. Chingling has challenged you to a battle

Jet listened to the Chingling continue to talk and taunt. He knew the Chingling was wrong, but he was still getting mad. He could feel his anger start to thicken and he just barely managed to hold back from just shouting at the smaller Pokémon. He couldn't just let a Pokémon like this guy push him around.... But sure enough, as if on cue, the Psychic-type pushed him again, causing him to stumble once more. This time, however, he tripped in the snow and wound up on his tail. He got back to his feet again and simply nodded. <F-fine...I...I'll fight you!> He exclaimed with an expression and tone that betrayed his thoughts of uncertainty. <A-and I'll beat you too! But...but on one condition.... If...if I win, I want you to be nicer to that Budew....>Jet had said this, hoping against hope that the Chingling didn't want something in return to make a complete wager. He wasn't sure what the Chingling would force him to do...but whatever it was would surely be bad. Well, putting himself at risk was worth it for sticking up for that Budew, who he considered a new friend at this point. Meanwhile, Apollo sat back, watching the two Pokémon go back and forth, seeing Jet get shoved onto the ground...this was hard to watch. His Pokémon was practically getting bullied by a Pokémon half his size. But it looked like the Buizel was starting to stand up for himself...he couldn't call him back now. Not when Jet seemed to have something to prove. He just hoped that Jet didn't suffer a bad beating from this guy.... He had confidence in Jet of course, but he'd been through so many battles in a row with minimal time to rest. In fact, Jet still had a few bruises, claw marks, and bite marks from the last three battles. Well, if worse came to worst, he DID have a couple Potions left that he could use. But with luck, Jet might not need them. ::Buizel:: Pushed onto the ground Accepts the challenge and stands ready

The Chingling chuckled. <Ha, you won't stand a chance against me!> he yelled. Then, a piercing sound pierced the route. The Chingling had opened his mouth and let out a loud Growl, the Chingling used Growl first thing. Then, the ribbons on his head, expanded and went to grab the Buizel. The Wrap attack was one to choke the Buizel. <Hahaha! You have no chance....wuss!> he said with a taunt.
He thought that everyone beside him was a wuss, he was always one to think on top of things. He loved to taunt people, it was a thing of life really. He snickered to himself, laughing with a hint of rudeness in him.

Jet listened to the Chingling's taunts and gulped a little. Maybe he was right. But he can't just give in...that would just prove that the Psychic Pokémon was right about him being a weak wuss. No, he had to take this guy head on...and that's what he planned to do. Of course, that would have been a lot easier, but the menacing Growl caused him to stumble backward in a moment of fear. But he quickly managed to shake it off...just in time to feel the Chingling's ribbons wrap firmly around his body. <Gragh...!> he cried out in pain as they firmly constricted him. Apollo watched the start of the battle and winced slightly. Things definitely weren't off to a good start for Jet. But there was nothing he could tell Jet that would make the situation any better. He thought about what all Jet could do...but there wasn't much with him all wrapped up like that. "Jet...hang in there!" he called out. "Try to break free with Sonicboom!" Jet heard Apollo's command and realized that, while his body was being constricted, his tail could still move freely. He tried to lash it out in front of him and blast the Chingling with a small Sonicboom attack. It wasn't much, but it was all he could manage to do. But in addition to his Trainer's command, he also let out a smaller, relatively pathetic Growl. But hopefully it would get the job done nonetheless. Afterward, he felt the Chingling's grip from the Wrap constrict him a bit harder, and he let out a small yelp of pain as a result. ::Buizel:: Effected by Growl (ATK: -1) Wrapped by Chingling!

Pokemon encounter ! The Chingling grinned as his long tassels squeezed around the Buizel, mercilessly forcing more and more air out of his lungs. Suddenly, his prey turned his head and let loose a missile of sonic waves towards him. He winced as the awful sound permeated his eardrums and enervated the rest of his body as a result. The pain prompted a squeak of pain to emit from his mouth.
As he looked back up, he was greeted with the Buizel's fearsome gaze along with a growl from the victim. A grin appeared on his face. <Looks like you might have some guts in you after all.> He remarked before attempting to squeeze harder, wanting to crush the hope out of this weasel. The pain of such a weakling was gratifying to him. ::chingling:: Chingling Hit by Sonicboom & Growl! Used Wrap on Jet

Jet winced in pain as the Chingling's Wrap attack continued to squeeze him harder. It seemed like his Sonicboom had had a strong effect on his opponent, but it didn't matter; it didn't help his situation any in the slightest. He needed a way to get out of this...but how? He could barely move with his opponent's grip so tight. He could feel himself slowly starting to get crushed by the Chingling. He struggled against it with all of his might, but it didn't seem to do much good. He ended up sinking to his knees with a howl of pain, trying his hardest not to succumb to the pressure accumulating from the Chingling's Wrap. <I...won't let...you win...!> he cried out, still helpless against the Chingling's attack. Apollo watched Jet continue to get crushed by his opponent's strong grip. Oh, if only Jet could use Water Gun or Aqua Jet...he might be able to get out of that mess. But as it was, the only move he could see Jet using was Sonicboom...and it seemed to have a good effect. But...maybe if Jet could put a stop to it somehow...but how could he do that? He thought...and the only thing he could come up with...was hoping against hope to freeze his opponent. It would only be a slight chance, but if there was a possibility for Jet's pain to stop, even temporarily, then Apollo would take it. "Jet...try to calm down...and hit it with an Ice Punch!"Jet heard what his Trainer said and understood...but he hadn't really been able to quite master it completely yet...well, he could always try it. If it didn't work, then he wouldn't be in any worse of a situation. He clenced one of his paws into a fist and tried to relax...which was hard with a Pokémon slowly strangling you. But in the end, he managed to calm down enough and focus all of his energy into his fist. He pulled it back as far as the Chingling's ribbons would allow and tried to bring it forward. As it came forward, the fist started glowing a light blue color with a successful Ice Punch aimed right at the Psychic-type's head. Wrapped tighter by Chingling! Hurt by Wrap! Used Ice Punch Weak

CHINGLING::chingling:: The blue punch reflected against his metallic skin, Chingling's entire body seemed slight blue as the ice punch came towards him. He clenched himself tighter, both to damage the Buizel further with his wrap attack and to brace himself for the punch. It was a direct, and easy, hit. Directly to Chingling's body, the pain and cold radiated through his system and he shivered angrily. He tightened his wrap, holding onto his prisoner for dear life.
::budew:: Meanwhile, the Budew from down the path suddenly came running up next to Apollo, he was holding something in his hands. Before he did anything, he had to take a minute and catch his breath. But once he'd stopped panting he looked up at Apollo. <"I heard you defend me! I just had to bring you something."> With that being said, he opened his hands and showed Apollo the Oran Berry he'd found for him. The small poke'mon offered it up to him.

Jet felt the Chingling's grip tighten even harder, if that were possible, and he let out a loud cry of pain yet again. He couldn't take much more.... He was at his limit. He wasn't even sure if he could muster up the strength to use another Ice Punch...or even something as simple as Sonicboom. He was at his opponent's mercy at this point. The battles he had been in up to this point were finally starting to take their toll. All he could do was muster up a weak Growl move...which might not accomplish much at this point. Just as Jet was on the verge of simply giving up and just taking his beating, he saw the Budew come up out of the corner of his eye and hand something over to Apollo. He couldn't quite see what it was, but he was a bit too preoccupied with the situation anyway. Apollo, on the other hand, looked down at the Budew. When he saw the Berry in her arms, he smiled. That was exactly what Jet needed right now! He didn't hesitate to reach down and pick the Berry out of her grip. But, instead of just putting it away to use later, he kept it in his hand. Jet needed this now, not later. Or else he'd lose this battle. In any other situation, he could have just simply returned Jet to his Pokéball and had Vance finish the job, like before. But because of the Wrap holding Jet in place, he couldn't do that. He made his way over to Jet. The Chingling was probably too busy trying to crush him that he wouldn't be able to do anything about it. "Jet, eat this...it'll help!" he said, showing the Buizel the Oran Berry the Budew had given him. Jet didn't hesitate. He struggled to keep his mouth open--since it was instinctive to keep it shut through the pain--and Apollo slipped the Berry into his mouth. Jet chewed it and tried to swallow it through his constricted throat. When he finally managed to get it down, he felt a bit of his strength return to him. He was still in a great deal of pain...but at least now he could last a bit longer. As Apollo moved away, hoping Jet would be alright, the Buizel managed to get back to his feet again. <Ngh...I...won't lose...this battle...!> he grunted through the pain and through his constricted throat.

{ Chingling } Not hit by Anything! Uses Wrap one more time before releasing Buizel
{ Budew } Watching Nervously
<Ahh! Come on, let him go.> The Budew watched after the Buizel managed to eat the berry, possibly saving him in this fight. The Chingling was being so mean though, using that Wrap attack to prevent him from leaving. Not nice! Not nice at all! He wobbled back and forth on his two feet, before retreating a little bit closer to the human for protection. The Chingling, a bit too excited with attacking the Buizel, smirked at the Budew's comment. Maybe it was right, but one more squeeze on his opponent wouldn't be bad for him, would it?
<Pheh. I thought you'd be more of a challenge.> He finally released the Buizel from his grip, levitating gently in the air as if he was some kind of magical spirit. His red and white striped straps waved about in the cold wind, giving him the image of someone that was a man.
<What's your choice now? Sneak attack? Not manly.> He snickered, wondering whether he was going to be harmed for his 'kindness'. Whatever the case, he could just wrap the Buizel back up again, if he needed to learn a lesson that badly.

Jet heard what the Budew said...and noticed that he was standing up for him, just like Jet was standing up for him. He winced and let out yet another cry of pain as he felt the Chingling's Wrap tighten on him hard yet again. However, almost immediately afterwards, the Chingling's grip on his body let up, and he felt himself finally pull free from the power of that Wrap attack. But the pain still lingered a bit and he dropped to his knees, sinking to all fours relatively quickly. He was breathing hard, showing plenty of signs of exhaustion...but he wasn't finished. He wasn't going to just let it end like this...but still...why would the Chingling just let him go because the Budew asked him to? Well, he probably shouldn't concern himself with something like that just yet. Apollo watched as Jet was finally released and sank to the ground again. The Oran Berry may have healed him, but it didn't block out pain. Jet must have succumbed simply to the pain, rather than his opponent. When the Budew moved back over to him, he just gave him a glance. He didn't mind him being there...as long as he didn't try to do any harm. Jet was still in pain...maybe he should just return Jet now...Vance could handle things from here. "Jet, why don't you take a rest...?" he said. "You've done an amazing job for taking on so many opponents like you have...let's let Vance take it from here!"Hearing Apollo's words, Jet managed to climb back to his feet and shake his head, a look of determination across his face. He wasn't giving up...otherwise that Berry that the Budew managed to get to him would have been wasted. He glanced back at his Trainer, who looked taken aback by Jet's refusal. The human had never seen this side of Jet before.... The Buizel was well aware that his Trainer was shocked by his decision, and decided to take it upon himself to make his own next move. <...I'll be much more of a challenge.> he said. <I'm only just getting started. Sorry for making the beginning of this fight so easy for you. Won't happen again.>His tone was completely different now. He sounded determined and confident now, as opposed to when this battle began, when he sounded so timid and fearful. There must have been something about that Budew that had really encouraged him.... <I won't pull a sneak attack...you'll know full well that my attack is coming!> he said in a half-shout. He jumped back to give the Chingling enough room to react. He was still hurting, yes...but he was able to ignore the pain now. He then suddenly started dashing forward, toward the Chingling, letting out probably the only non-pathetic Growl he'd ever let out since meeting this guy, and charged forward as fast as he could. He attempted to ram the Chingling with his shoulder in a strong-willed Quick Attack. Hit by Wrap Freed from Wrap! Uses Growl and Quick Attack on Chingling Slightly weakened

The Chingling was stunned as the Buizel escaped his grasp. He was too busy muttering to himself about how he didn't reailze that this was a tough Buizel. He could pass for manly he guessed. The Growl had warned him of an incoming attack, however there was no time to dodge. The Buizel had slammed into him like a rock. He was thrown to the icy cold ground. He stuttered, as he lifted his head. He couldn't believe it, maybe there was something else than being the manlyest Pokemon. He fainted finally after that battle about nothing.
The Budew happily smiled as he saw his friends won. He turned to Apollo and bowed his head. <Oh, thank you for standing up for me! That was quite the show of how brave you are.> he than hesitated but continued. <I could always part with my flowers, would it be alright if I came with you?> he asked.
