At least the snow had let up. Eva kept telling herself that as she made her way onto the first route in her adventure. "No more snow from the sky, must be a good sign?" Eva asked the little Venonat who had taken a liking to curling up in her numerous jackets. Two white antenna poked out from the top.
Eva didn't hear any reply and shrugged. Since the pokemon had awoken he hadn't done too much. He just sort of sat there. He had nodded once or twice and had chirped when Eva asked if he wanted a nickname. Eva assumed it he meant no and the topic had been dropped.
In the whole process of trying to figure out what her pokemon was like, Eva found herself a Skitty who had been laying melodramatically in the snow. Of course, Eva had taken the pokemon with her. Neither the Venonat nor the Skitty were Eva's first choice of pokemon but she wasn't going to complain. So far, her adventure had been going good. Minus the snow, that sucked.
Eva continued along, enjoying the warmth of her pokemon and picking her way through the snow. She had very little idea of what she was looking for, if anything. All she knew was that she needed to cross this route to get to the next town. And the next town meant warmth.

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! dirty holes. muddy holes. holes everywhere. that's what you might expect from the title of this thread. in fact, there was one large, filthy hole of mud and dirt and sludge. but within that perimeter of earth. was a buizel. a very.. dirty, buizel. she was belly flopping down the edges, sliding on her bum. spinning dirt around. chunks of it flew all over the place. on huge mound of it in front of eva. the buizel was happy, that much was certain. however almost as soon as the trainer had neared her playhouse. she started getting all defensive.
< what are you doin' here? trying to ruin my fun? well get lost. your not invited. > she spat, whipping more dirt from the rim of her 'territory.' one had to think how much time it took to make it. and if the local rangers would approve of making a huge mud-hole. either way, the buizel had mud smears all over her. even made her look manlier. in fact, she might as well be mistaken for a guy. other than the higher pitched tone of voice.

Wonderful, a slushy slush pile of mud. How perfect. Eva found herself frowning at the whole mess of things. Of course, such piles should be expected in an area such as this. And the snow certainly didn't help. To make matters worse there was a pokemon playing in it.
Eva was planning to simply go around it when the pokemon spoke up. Eva paused and tried to decipher what it was saying. She was never one who was good at figuring out what a pokemon wanted, much less was saying. Some people were good at it... Eva, not so much.
"Um?" Eva said, looking a tad bit helpless. She was going to simply turn her back and head in a large loop around the pokemon but Venonat struggled free and plopped into the snow. He turned his unblinking gaze to the dirty orange pokemon. Saying nothing, he simply stared his creepy little bug stare. "Yo Venonat, there's no need for that. Let's just be on our way now..."

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! she'd just turned around. because it looked like that stupid woman had decided to leave. but then the blur of a purple body invaded her senses. she shook with annoyance. < i told you to get away from here! i didn't invite you to play! > she snarled, before bouncing onto the top, to confront the venonat. the beady eyes were horrifying to her. and she spat near the bug in disgust. with a loud clap, the buizel bounced backwards, into the mud pit before the sonic boom could hit the ground. obviously this was how she made the mud hole so big. sonic booming it to dirt.
the buizel was hoping the purple bug would fall in, and be a victim of buizel's anger. in this case, freezing the ground and continuously booming it and knocking the venonat around. < this is what you get for not obeying my orders. > she snorted, waving her arms and glaring at the bug. she wasn't happy. fuck it. buizel was never happy.

Talk about first encounters. Eva's first official battle was starting off in a way she didn't think was allowed. Not that there were really any sort of moves to it. At least that was what Eva had read. "Hey now, there is no need to be such a bitch--" Eva was cut off when an earsplitting noise filled the air. She clapped her hands firmly to her ears and whined, forgetting about battling and her Pokémon completely.
At least, Venonat knew what to do, at least somewhat. He had managed to move slightly out of the way, just enough to be thrown onto his back and slide into the muddy mess. He was able to recover himself enough to get into a standing-ish position. Glancing back at his trainer, Venonat realized she would be no help in this situation.
He then preceded to act on his own. Opening his weird bulgy pink mouth he let out a supersonic cry in retort to the water pokemon's attack. At this point Eva had recovered herself well enough to know she was in her first Pokémon battle. "This is my time to shine." She said, preparing to order her Pokémon to attack again.

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! good, good. the venonat had fallen down where she wanted. just as predicted. however, the otter was also then hit with a supersonic in the face. the blasting waves of sound messed with her mind. she stumbled aside, knocking herself around. the sound-waves apparently felt the need to confuse her. < argggh. > however she gritted her teeth and started growling. real low in her throat. trying her best to fight off the confusion. however she still managed to trip over her paws and land on her face. in the muck.
so when she stood up to start glaring at the world, she had a beard of mud dripping from her chin. she snorted, finally getting a grip on the ground. though she still felt a wave of nausea sink in. she couldn't attack physically this round.

Eva was about to ask if her Pokémon was okay when the muddy water Pokémon fell face first into the mud. Eva looked at her pokemon, and could almost see a smirk crawling on the silent pokemon's face. Realizing she should take charge of the situation Eva mentally went through a list of attacks that Venonat knew. She could try another supersonic, but it would be easier to simply have him tackle the downed Pokémon.
And that is what she decided to have happen, "Venonat use tackle, kick the little monster while it's down!" Normally, Eva would be a tad bit more compassionate but she was fired up from experiencing her first battle. Venonat did as his trainer said, rushing forward in a tackle [/u]. The Pokémon secretly crossed his nonexistent fingers in hopes that his small and soft body would do some damage.

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! the buizel found herself surfing along the mud and slime, into the more snowy areas of the hole later. she snorted. < bring it. > the tackle was strong, sure. same level, head to head. but this buizel.. she was stronger. at least, she hoped so. as the otter pushed herself to her feet, the wave of nausea swam over her again. but it settled quicker, and she found herself being able to come in for a quick attack. her body a blur as it slid across the slimy ground towards the venonat. < take that! > she snarled, before pushing herself back.
then outright growling at her. angry, peeved. a fit of raege. she stomped her feet. < last time! get the hell out of my hole! it's mine. all mine. stop being such a baby and get a life! make your own fucking hole! > she howled, throwing her paws into the air and groaning inwardly.

Frankly, Venonat wasn't expecting an attack back after the Pokémon had fallen face first. So much for staying confused, Venonat mused to himself. The quick attack sent him flying back again, slipping into even more mud. The rather irksome growl caused his attack to fall, ever so slightly, though he didn't know it.
Eva frowned, her little Venonat was looking a tad bit beat up. His fur was matted in mud and slush and he looked just as bad as the orange Pokémon. Still, Eva found herself smiling, she wasn't about to throw in her Skitty just yet. "Venonat, quick use disable!" She called, hoping the attack would disable the Buizel's quick attack. If not, it could at least stop it from lowering her own pokemon's attack. "Follow up with another tackle!" She called again.
Venonat picked himself up from the mud, a little slower this time, but still with a fighting spirit. He stared for a moment at the Buizel before letting out an rather eerie noise, having used disable. Just as he finished he jumped forward again, charging with all his might at his opponent.

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! another knock to the knee. but this time it was because she was so dizzy. just as she was about to use sonic boom against the ground, she found herself sonic booming the ground underneath her instead. she was sent flying. she actually laid there a moment, dizzy, out of sorts. before the disable was landed on her. however she was no longer able to use the quick attack. as that was the last move used on the venonat and thats what was going to be happening anyway. the venonat's small body also collided with the buizel.
sending the orange otter skidding around the bend on her back. this time she wasn't able to help herself. she couldn't get a hold on her body. couldn't get up and fight back. she just felt sick to her stomach. < hold still.. i'm. comin' > she grunted, trying to get to her feet.

At this point, Eva felt like she could run up to her Venonat and give it a highfive. It actually looked like her little pokemon could win. Of course, she had doubted his ability from the start. He was literally a walking puff ball. Nothing about him looked threatening besides his rather creepy unblinking gaze.
Venonat himself was pretty proud. He was going to fight until he passed out, he had figured that out. The fact that he didn't have to was pretty awesome. The tides seemed to have turned. He turned towards his trainer and gave a happy chirp. Eva flashed a smile back, considering what his next move would be. "Try another supersonic and then follow up with a tackle." Eva commanded.
And so, the Venonat did just that, sending out another shriek and flinging himself forward. It was a very lack luster battle considering he knew no really good moves, but at least he was trying.

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! just as soon as that wave of confusion and nausea had left. the supersonic voice was wailing in her ears. she screamed outright, clamping her paws over her ears. she shook her head in annoyance before clapping her hands together, in the direction of the venonat. another sonic boom. this one in full effect. the ground even shook this time. she was getting angry. < stooop! > she snarled, before stumbling backwards and onto her butt. she rolled about.
flopping this way and that. obviously not amused with the way the venonat was acting. but then, she was hit again. but by a physical attack. the bug's furry self slammed into buizel and knocked aside. she skidded across the mud. by now, the mud was freezing in her fur. caking her. making her look more menacing than she really was. she snorted some out of her nose, trying to regain her balance and stand. however. it was apparent that it wasn't going to work.

As Venonat was knocked backwards again by the sonic boom, Eva realized she was at the crux of the battle. Minutes before she thought she was winning, but now she wasn't sure. It was obvious that both Venonat and Buziel were getting down to their last legs, figuratively of course. Most of the purple coloring was gone, and what remained was a brownish sludge ball with piercing red eyes. The opponent looked no better.
Venonat drew himself up again, with obvious effort. He looked ready to charge again, but Eva called to stop him, "Wait a second Venonat." Eva said. She considered two things now, either catching the Buizel or using a potion on her Venonat. Either way, she had made up her mind about keeping the pokemon. Granted, it would resent her, but she might be able to turn it around. If not, she'd just trade it or sell it off later, people supposedly thought those pokemon were cute.
"Buizel, are you ready to admit defeat?" Eva called out, looking at the pokemon with a pang of guilt, "If not, I can assure you you'll lose." Pausing, Eva considered asking the pokemon outright if it'd join her, "And... you're strong, would you want to come with me on my travels?" 'You're coming whether you want to or not.'

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! the buizel braced herself for another impact. though, it never came. the venonat was just standing there when the buizel opened her eyes. however, what drew the otters attention was the fact that the trainer was talking to her. she spat in disgust. < no way am i going with you! who said i even wanted to have anything to do with you! > she howled, stomping her feet. this ended in an abrupt slide across the wet mud and snow. her landing on her back, and letting out a sonic boom into the air. she gagged.
then rolled over and groaned inwardly. this battle wasn't going in her favor. but she wasn't going down without a fight! she wasn't going to let some sorry excuse for a bug beat her down. no way in hell!

At this point, Eva actually did find herself feeling sorry for the poor critter. She looked at her Venonat, trying to get a feel for what her Pokémon wanted to do. Venonat continued with his unblinking gaze, giving away no impression on what he wanted. Eva shrugged, "Alright then it was your choice, Venonat use another tackle." Eva said, no real fire behind the words.
Venonat shuddered, trying to loosen some of the frozen mud. It was going to hurt the Buizel if he ran at it with a frozen coat of fur. But wasn't the tackle meant to hurt regardless? If the bug Pokémon could shrug, he would. He figured Eva had given the Buizel a fair chance, a way to get out. Secretly, he hoped that Eva would not be having the Pokémon join the team. He didn't like her very much.
And with that, the Venonat ran full speed at the pokemon, hoping he wouldn't have to fight much longer.

::buizel:: pokemon encounter ! another tackle had her coming. or, was coming her way. whichever, the little otter was knocked unconcious on contact. literally, she was out cold somewhere near the venonat had touched her. the buizel let out a gag afterwards, having choked on her spit she'd been so ready to fire off on the venonat. but it never came. because she couldn't feel her legs at the moment. whatever the case was, eva had the chance to capture the buizel. nothing was holding her back now!

The battle was over before Eva knew it. It ended as quickly as it started. There was a silence that filled the air now. The kind that comes with heavy snow fall, as all life hides within a warm burrow. Eva stood there motionless, staring at the fainted pokemon. Venonat turned it's back on Buizel and trotted back towards Eva, trying to clean itself. "Venonat return." Eva said, returning her pokemon to it's ball.
She then was faced with the option of catching the fainted pokemon. She had made her mind up to do it before the battle had ended, but now she wasn't so sure. The pokemon was a strong one, and Eva knew she could use the addition to her team. Taking out a pokeball from her bag, Eva threw it in the direction of the fainted water pokemon. In a flash of red light the pokemon was gone and the pokeball returned to Eva's hand.
Eva turned her back on the mud hole where she had just encountered her first pokemon battle and continued on with her adventure.

::shroomish:: pokemon encounter ! soon after the buizel was taken into the captivity of the pokeball, it shook violently in eva's hand. then the snapping sound of it fully closing sounded. buizel had been caught! just then, the sound of rustling came from a bush not that far away. a little shroomish was scurrying away from all the snow, whining and crying about the cold. there was no other pokemon in sight. so, would eva follow along with the shroomish? and see where the little plant led her?
or would she turn around and go on her way. lolitdoesn'treallymatter. the shroomish was trying to hide, from what?

"Everyone loves Shroomish. Everyone." Eva couldn't help but remembering the line to an old commercial that used to air regularly. It was funny that the little pokemon could inspire such a thought. Eva watched as it scurried around, looking rather helpless as it did so. Poor pokemon, it was so close to the ground, it must have had a horrible time wading through the snow.
Deciding to follow out of curiosity, Eva stayed a few steps behind the pokemon. A bemused smile crossed her face when it kept going. "Where ya going?" Eva asked after a few more steps. Hopefully it wouldn't turn around an attack her. She had two pokemon in their balls that were rather unfit to fight at the moment, and the last thing Eva wanted to do was throw out her Skitty.

pokemon encounter ! shroomish immediately sensed that he was being followed. with a nervous twitch ,t he little plant pokemon scuttled his way though the snow. he finally managed to get himself onto firmer ground, where he bounced up and down on the area he was on, leaping into the harder snow. now, he didn't have to tire so much. with a sigh, the little plant turned around. and was met with a voice. he yelped, squealing in fright.
immediately he ran off, hiding in the bush somewhere. though it was evident he was there. the shaking was awfully pitiful. and he was rocking it back and forth. i think even a blind person could tell he was there. < g-go away! you'll attract more snow. > he stuttered, shaking miserably. his teeth were even chattering. gosh it was cold!
