{desc=Meatballs, Spaceballs, Ball n sockets: Balls.}What a tough first day it was for Fianna Gloven and his newfound friends. Camping outside was the most difficult part, having but a few blankets for shelter. It was fortunate that he, his Buizel, Broski, and his Minccino, Shannon, were all able to huddle together in one big blanket, wrapped around the human's body, to remain warm throughout the night. Mother Nature is someone that they couldn't afford to fuck around with at this time of year. However, was that the only thing they needed to be worried about... Able to harvest a few berries within the area of mostly-barren tree canopies, Fianna took his big matchbox out of his bag and struck a match. He threw the match into a makeshift pit his Minccino swept out quickly, which his Buizel had filled with small sticks and twigs that he found randomly littering the otherwise soft, white ground. With some bigger sticks on hand, Fianna took the few berries that they were able to find, seven in all, stuck 2 on each stick for his Pokémon and 3 for his own stick, and placed them around the fire to roast them for a few minutes. It was Fianna's idea to roast the berries before eating them, even though he really didn't know much about roasting berries. Thankfully for him though, at least Broski's Water Gun came useful for making sure that none of the berries got burnt to a crisp. "The berries are really delicious, sisbro." "Mistress's berries are the best!" Fianna smiled in delight that his Pokémon were having a good first breakfast together. However, he was most concerned about having to spend many nights outside in the elements like that. He, most of all, spent that entire first day ill-prepared for the wintery conditions. With the Pokémon that he had managed to befriend, he wondered, staring off into space, if that alone would be enough to help him get through this wooded area, to whatever the next town was. Broski finished his last berry, noticing that Fianna was leaving two of his berries to get cold while appearing to look sad for some reason. He climbed onto Fianna's lap, which seemed to startle the mid-teens trainer. "What's the matter, sisbro? Are you sick?" Seeing the Buizel there made her smile again and pat his head. He didn't want him to worry about whatever might have been on his mind at that moment. "Yeah, everything's fine with me," she replied with an unnerved sort of chuckle, scratching the orange top of the Buizel's head. Broski still thought that there might be something up with him, if he didn't prefer Fianna's hand just about caressing his head, as he purred with content. "You should hurry and eat the rest of your berries before they get frozen, sisbro," the Buizel said as he pointed to the stick that was still in the trainer's other hand. He just remembered about the two berries that were still on his stick, almost fumbling it as she was moving the stick to her mouth so that she could eat the next berry. Shannon watched the scene with the human and the Buizel, eating her berries in smaller bites than they did with theirs. Fianna's reaction to Broski showing concern for her Mistress concerned her the most. Mistress... Why do you feel like you have to mask your problems by pretending that everything's all right? She sighed, gnawing at her last berry as she continued to watch the pair enjoying a moment together. The fire was put out, the burning sticks, and the ends of the stick skewers, buried into the snow, and the three of them were back on their feet, searching for the trail they spent much of yesterday following...

It was cold. Really cold. It was almost the end of January and the snow hadn't let up one bit. The wild Pokémon just hadn't been biting either. No doubt they were warm and snug in their burrows or swimming underneath one of the frozen lakes that dotted Route One. Good for the Pokemon, but that meant a rather irritated Eleanor. Sure she was here on official business, but that didn't mean she couldn't profit from it while she was on the job. She was hoping to catch a few wild Pokémon while she was at it, but no go. Not to mention she'd had a few near misses slipping on the treacherously frozen ground. Well, at least she'd be training some of her weaker Pokémon. Lucifer and Leviathan needed a little boost to catch up with Dimitri, who was currently spending his life holed up in a PC in the city. Of course, her Sunkern could be of help, but that thing never obeyed. It would be more likely to fall asleep in the snow and let the Trainers slowly wear it down. She was getting closer to the Ranger Station now, though she was still a good ten minutes away from Professor Winter's Lab. She was actually somewhat glad for that. She remembered how Winter had rallied the Trainers two years ago at the Power Plant. She wasn't in a hurry to cross him with only her two level 6 Pokémon on hand. She heard a sound in the distance. One human and two, maybe three Pokémon. The smell of something cooking made her chew her cheek in longing as saliva gathered in her mouth, but she suppressed her desire to stop for the food in her backpack. She was on a mission, and she was going to finish it. Lucifer and Leviathan jumped out of their respective Pokeballs at her command as she walked towards the Trainer, her eyes focused on her Pokémon more than her. A Buizel and a Minccino. The Minccino would have issues hurting Lucifer, so she would focus on wiping out the Buizel first and foremost. "You." She had been going over the words she would say in her head for at least half an hour now. "You aren't worthy to pass through this route. So why don't you be a good little girl and leave?" She tilted her head to one side as Leviathan gazed hungrily at the berries and Lucifer swooped around her.

It didn't take long for another crazy being appeared before them. As if yesterday's seemingly ridiculous encounter rate wasn't enough, this morning was already starting off with some girl, wearing a uniform Fianna didn't recognize, who, for some reason, felt as though she needed to get in his way. The way that she talked made her sound as though she was being menacing. Yet, her demeanor seemed like there was something more important on her mind than trying to pick a fight with the first trainer that she saw. Fianna shyed back from the strange girl, believing that it must be his fault for getting in her way. "I-I-I'm sorry... We h-h-have to leave anyway..." Both Broski and Shannon looked at each other and nodded in agreement. They didn't like the way that this girl, her Phanpy and Shuppet by her side, all of a sudden decided on her own that their human was somehow in her way, when they both knew that the opposite was more the truth. As Fianna started took a step to the left, his Pokémon teamed up to give the rudely imposing girl a few tongue lashes of their own. "Listen, bro! You can't just go around bullying anybody you feel like! I won't let this slide!" After the Buizel spoke, it was Shannon's turn. The Minccino's chest puffed out, trying to make herself appear intimidating before the opposing trio. "My Mistress? In YOUR way? Dog! It seems that you don't know your place very well, do you? Come hither, mutt, for I will demonstrate what happens to those who transgress against my Mistress!"Fianna stopped in his tracks as he listened to Broski quickly responding to the girl's less-than-lukewarm reception. Her heart sank underneath her stomach hearing Shannon protest with nothing but cruel intentions in mind. He just wanted to get out of there quickly before any sort of conflict began. "Shannon! Broski! Leave them alone... And c'mon!" Her pleas to get them to return to her side was for naught; they did not move even an inch from where they were standing. Shannon had analyzed the opposing Pokémon as they were defending their trainer's honor. She grabbed the Buizel, who was standing close to her, and pulled his head towards her face, causing the Buizel to slightly panic as he was being yanked towards the Minccino. She lowered her voice to a whisper, "The one on the ground is a Phanpy, a Ground-type Pokémon. The one floating around the dog is a Shuppet, a Ghost-type. You'll have to be the one who hits the Shuppet, since you have the only attack that will work on it. You'll be able to gun the both of them down, so let's go after that Phanpy first."Broski didn't completely understand her viewpoint, but decided to nod in agreeance anyway. Shannon pushed him back into position and they faced their opponents again. "gun"? Could she mean THAT move....! The Buizel got himself even more pumped up now, as the Mexican stand-off continued. The time to strike was nigh. "Let's go!" The moment that the Minccino's signal was given, Broski got up a head of steam, zipping his way towards the Phanpy with a Quick Attack. The sudden quick pace of her partner gave her a bit of a startle, but then approached the Phanpy, from behind the Buizel, using her long tail to swipe at the elephant-like Pokémon, hoping that it would enjoy a taste of her Pound. Not this madness again... He was completely beside himself, watching as they would rather continue to fight a meaningless battle than to move on and find the trail once again. All he could do was watch from a distance, hoping that neither of his Pokémon would have to get injured in this fight...

Eleanor smiled at the Trainer's nervous reaction. How she loved to see pathetic Trainers quiver before her gaze. But she felt a little let down. This meant the Trainer probably wouldn't try to fight her or her low leveled Pokémon. But unfortunately for her, her Pokémon weren't quite so eager to stand down, the Buizel obnoxiously speaking back to her as the Minccino puffed her chest out and denied her access to her...Mistress was the word she thought she heard. And then the attacks came in, both on Leviathan. The Phanphy, startled, managed to dodge the Pound from the Minccino, but the Buizel's lightning fast attacks made him blur in the air, and as he struck Leviathan, he staggered back with a trumpet of pain, a bruise already blossoming on his thigh. Eleanor glared at the enemy Pokémon. A dirty, low move. She approved. But that didn't mean she was going to go easy on them. "Lucifer, use Screech and Pursuit on the Buizel. Leviathan, Defense Curl and Tackle. Make it quick."Lucifer immediately obeyed, turning towards the Buizel and letting loose a vicious screech, making Eleanor wince. The sound was unnerving, designed to make a Shuppet#s prey lower its guard so that it could go in for the kill. And that's just what Lucifer did now. Ethereal hand glowing with purple energy, he launched himself at the Buizel with a cackle of delight, bringing his attack down upon the Buizel's head. As Lucifer made his move, Leviathan curled up into a ball, hardening his body for the next attack that was bound to come his way. That done, he launched himself at the Buizel too, aiming to slam his full bulk into the orange water weasel's chest.

Fianna watched as the Buizel cringed from listening to the Shuppet's hollowing Screech, and then get hit by its Pursuit while his ears were still ringing on the inside. The attack knocked Broski flying back 4 feet, hitting the frozen ground hard. The veil of fear that Fianna wore on her face, his lips trembling as he watched the Buizel slowly pick himself off of the ground. Even more terrifying was the Phanpy charging towards Broski. The Buizel reacted to the attack by rolling to his right, having just half a second to spare. Still, that Pursuit hurt him a lot. Shannon had attempted to catch up to the Phanpy and redirect its attack towards her, breathing a sigh of relief when she saw the Buizel react just in time to get out of the way. Shannon gathered around Broski as he had a hold of the middle of his body. He took the shot from the Shuppet just below the ribs, causing him to breathe heavier than usual. "Broski, are you all right?" He had to shake the deafening reverberation out of his ear canals, though he was starting to be able to hear the Minccino's concern in the form of her question. Broski nodded, while still holding the center of his body with his left paw. Shannon, once again, huddled with the Buizel to discuss their next plan of attack. "Let's finish off that Phanpy this time. You should try shooting it with your new move, like you did that Starly." Broski hardly heard a thing that the Minccino just said, but nodded anyway. Shannon came out of the huddle and found the location of the Phanpy. She puffed out her chest, taking in a big breath of the frigid air, and growled at the Phanpy. Hoping to take advantage of something similar to what the Shuppet had done to her Buizel ally, she approached the target and jumped up. She intended to use her Pound again here, her tail whipping downward to smash the Phanpy in the face. Broski, however, thought that she said that he should go attack the Shuppet. He looked at what his Minccino partner was doing and decided to copy her beginning move by Growling at the Ghost-type, then shooting its Water Gun attack aimed at the Pokémon who had just injured him.

Leviathan recoiled at the Growl, feeling his will to fight slip away just a little bit. His ears quivered in tension and more than a little fear, and he swished his stubby tail from side to side as he awaited his next order. However, before he could receive any orders, the Minccino took action, swinging her tail straight into the Phanpy's face, just missing the eye by millimeters. A brutal snap rang out through Route One as the attack made contact, and Leviathan recoiled, trumpeting in agony as a red mark formed where the attack had hit. Eleanor winced at the sound of pain. Clearly that had hit the greedy Pokemon hard. harder than it should have, really. But it was then that Eleanor saw the soft white scarf around the Minccino's neck and realized that this Trainer had planned in advance. There was no time to think on that matter any further, as Lucifer was next. The growl was unnerving. It felt as though he was no longer safe in his ethereal form, something the powerful jet of water only served to solidify in his mind. Blasted backwards as the jet died down, Lucifer righted himself with a somersault in the air, his eyes bright with malice. He'd been hit by this...this stupid water weasel? He'd soon teach it not to mess with a Ghost Type like himself. "Same as last time, you two," demanded Eleanor, and as Leviathan curled up into a ball and rushed the Buizel, Lucifer let loose another ear piercing screech and imbued his hand with dark energy, bringing it down upon the Buizel's chest.

The foe Shuppet's attack ensued. Once again, its hollowing, echoed Screech nearly broke the ear drums of the somewhat weakened Buizel, the deafening sound causing him to crouch over and cover his ears. This provided the distraction necessary for the Ghost-type to send its body, imbued with dark energy, hurling headfirst into Broski's chest again. With no time to move to avoid the blow, Broski took the full force of the Pursuit attack, at -3 Defense (taking the earlier Growl into account), the impact sending the Buizel flying a few feet backwards. Both Fianna and Shannon looked on as their friend hit the frozen ground hard. He lied there unconscious, no longer having the strength to battle -- let alone move. Fianna helplessly watched as his Buizel landed on his side, bounced millimeters off of the ground, did a half barrel roll in midair and landed on his other side, skidding for a few inches more. The trainer, already feeling his eyes begin to well up, felt a jolt of pain in her side as if he was also feeling the impact of the landing. No... Nononononooooooo.... Why, oh why did they have to pick a fight with this freak... So many things were running through his head all at once, the feeling of despair was written all over his face as he could only bury his face in his hands and cower in fear of his Minccino potentially sharing the same fate. As furious as she was that the opposing trainer was choosing to gang up on the worn out Buizel, she also noted her Mistress's reaction and knew that she had to do something quickly to bring her some sort of hope again. "Mistress! I won't allow his effort to go in vain!" She wasn't sure how she was going to be able to handle the Shuppet yet, but she knew that she could probably even up the odds with her next strike against the Phanpy. She had a plan that had a good chance of working, so she thought. She raced towards the turquoise-colored Pokémon, but stopped within 4 feet of being within striking distance. Using her tail, she swept up a big clump of snow and brushed it towards the Phanpy, hoping to use the little snow shower as cover, and then emerge from the snow cloud, like a ninja, striking the Pokémon with her Pound. Fianna heard the Minccino speak to him, as if to try to instill some sort of hope that she could still pull out a victory. He still didn't feel very optimistic that she could still win without Broski helping her out, though hearing her confidence call out to him was at least enough to make the tears stop and make him hold his hands together in front of his chest, fingers woven together as though he was praying for her success.

Eleanor smiled to herself as the Buizel went down. It was pretty much an assured win now, thanks to Lucifer and their opponent's type. Of course, she didn't expect the Trainer to just give up like that, but the tail smashing into Leviathan's face once again still came as a surprise. The Phanphy had been hit hard, for he actually lost his footing and toppled over on his side with a crash. "Get up," demanded Eleanor without pity. Leviathan's eyes squeezed shut in pain, but he forced himself back to his feet. Satisfied, she ordered them to launch the same attacks again, this time at the Minccino. Luncifer let loose the same bone chilling screech, before imbuing his hand with energy and bringing it down on the Minccino, while Leviathan curled into a defensive ball and launched himself at the enemy Pokemon.

Shannon's ears were about ready to bleed while she was taking the full impact of the ear-splitting Screech, eyes closed and teeth gritted as she tried to manage with the internal pain the attack inflicted. The distraction caused by the attack was more than enough to allow the Ghost-type to float in effortlessly and strike the Minccino with the Dark-type move it had previously used against Broski, but unable to trip Shannon up enough to get her off her feet. The Tackle from the Phanpy, on the other hand, hit Shannon just under the rib cage and knocked her down, the impact and the momentum making her body bounce from her backside, onto her belly and sliding back a little. Shannon gingerly picked herself up off the ground, her head feeling as if she had just been ran over by a herd of Bouffalant. She couldn't hear much out of either of her ears right now either, so she had to act upon her own instincts if she wanted to keep on fighting. Spotting the Phanpy, she ran on all fours towards it and attempted to strike it, in the side of its head, using her tail.
