Eva didn't understand a word the pokemon had said. She simply assumed it was something unhappy because of the look it gave her. She crouched down and got a closer look at the pokemon. It was obvious it was cold. That much was painfully apparent. "So, um, you're cold? Want one of my scarves? Not sure what it'll do for you, but it doesn't hurt to have one you know." Eva said, loosening one of the two scarves she had wrapped around her neck.
It wasn't a pretty scarf by any means, but it was warm. Fake pokemon fur was wonderfully warm. It was in a rather unpleasant dyed fashion, brown with even darker brown, but hey, it kept Eva warm. She held it out for the pokemon, "So erm, what are you running from? Or too, I guess." Eva asked, trying to make some small talk.

::shroomish:: evel 4 | Male Effect Spore, Poison Heal Absorb Shy, Timid, Hates snow The shroomish shrank back in fear as the trainer came towards slowly; didn't she get the point that he didn't want her near him any more at all!?!? All she was going to do was bring more snow and cold towards him, and he was cold enough as it was at the moment thank you very much! He gave the trainer an attempted look of hatred, but it ultimately looked like he was scared of her as he was shivering his poor body off from the increasing coldness. He looked at the scaff in her hands as she presented it to him; to wear maybe? He didn't know what to do at all; perhaps it was all just a trap in order to lure him in so that he could get more coldness. But maybe it was a sign of pure concern. Mulling over the decision, he decided that he didn't want to be cold anymore so he grasped the scaff out of her hands and placed it around his body, sighing as the warmth sunk into his shivering....uhhh...head?

Eva gave a cheesy smile when the Shroomish put the scarf around itself. How cute it looked. At least it had taken the scarf. The angry look it gave Eva before it finally grabbed it was sort of saddening. Eva wrapped the remaining scarf tighter around her neck, trying to ignore the slight draft she felt coming from the back of her neck.
"So where you headed off to?" Eva questioned again. The pokemon didn't seem one to really chat, but Eva still liked it. Maybe she could catch it? Perhaps she'd try to befriend this one first, she wasn't quite in the mood for another battle.

Oh great, did he have to speak? Was this trainer just going to dump him on the ground, laugh and take off? But if he didn't speak, would she be offended? Decisions, decisions.
“I, uh,” stammered the Shroomish nervously, his body shuddering still against the cold draft. “I... Was... R- R- Running from a... T- Taillow.” He admitted, though a tinge of shame spread across his features at that. What was a Taillow doing out in this weather? Probably got left behind when the flocks moved south.
Still, it was unusual behaviour, but at least the Taillow hadn't caught him. But was that good or bad, because now the Taillow had expended all of that energy on a lost meal? There were no berries to eat and not even a scrap of meat to really scavenge. As if on cue a blue blur shot forward, but ultimately skidded on the snow with a chirrup of alarm.
A Taillow, feathers freezing and his body unprotected from the cold, looked at the Shroomish hungrily and then fearfully. Oh great, it was with a trainer now! He couldn't get it now... All of that energy wasted... It was obvious just how desperate the flying type was for food. Poor thing...

Yet again the blue haired girl had no idea at all of what was being said by the pokemon. Maybe one day she'd try to learn, but that day wasn't today. She shifted her wait from foot to foot while the pokemon talked. Eva nodded when she felt it was the correct timing to do so. "Sounds like fun." Was Eva's best guess at a reply. It could be taken seriously or sarcastically depending on the situation.
It was then that there was a flash of blue. Eva felt herself jumping a tad just as the Shroomish had. "Oh!" She cried out, almost tripping backwards in some ice. Regaining her composure she realized it was simply a Taillow who had come to join the duo.
"Um hello there." Eva said, rather uneasily because of the pokemon's intent stare at the Shroomish, "What brings you here?" She joked, trying to figure out exactly what was going on between the pokemon in front of her.

pokemon encounter ! the taillow noticed that the trainer was oblivious. to him, this was a light being switched on inside of his head. he said nothing, however, before stretching his claws and leaping off the perch, aiming to capture the shroomish. was that a scarf on him? the taillow hesitated a moment, giving the little mushroom enough time to scream and run away. zig zag maneuver over the snow. crying and wailing. < he'll eat me! > before he dove down into a hole where the taillow couldn't reach him. the blue bird was trying though.
landed beside the hole, pecked his head down in there. tilted it. squawked angrily. of course, his sense of balance wasn't suberb. so the little blue swallow flopped into the snow. stuck there. he struggled a moment, reaching himself onto his legs again. he flapped his sleek wings in frustration. his eyes shone with the idea that he was angry. wanting to eat. and with that said, the taillows stomach gurgled. a sign. the poor thing was hungry. though.. that shroomish wasn't exactly that much of a delicacy either. but that didn't seem to help the taillow any.

As the seen unfolded before her, Eva was taken aback. It had never occurred to her that pokemon ate other pokemon. She assumed they all just ate berries or something. It wasn't as if there were a bunch of nature shows showing wild packs of Taillows talking small earth-bound pokemon.
Eva ran over to where the Shroomish had dived into the hole and the Taillow was pecking out. "Stop that you." She said, swishing her hands at the Taillow, "I've got a sammich in my bag that I was going to save for later, would you like it?" Eva questioned.
She gave no time for the bird to respond as she quickly dropped the bag from her shoulders and began to fumble around on an outter pocket. Out came a nicely wrapped sammich. "It's not really fancy." Eva admitted, unwrapping it and holding it out for the pokemon, "But it is better for you than a Shroomish. That little guy will make you sooooo sick."

pokemon encounter ! the shroomish was stuck there, hiding around in the snow. he shivered violently. oh, he hated the cold feeling of the snow closing around him. but this was the only option. thankfully, the taillow was distracted by the girl talking. apparently she had a sandwich. yummy. but it wasn't for the shroomish. he whined, hunkering himself down. the taillow looked down at him again. however, once again the smell enticed him backwards. the swallow looked undecided, and his stomach rumbled again.
though she was offering it to him. the taillow took a look at it, tilted his head. then snatched it from her hands and wolfed it down. not sure how he managed it. being such a small bird. but he did. the taillow rolled back onto his butt and sighed. patting his full stomach with a wing. the bird let out an inaudible sigh after he ate, falling asleep thoughtlessly on the snow. the shroomish, on the other hand. was getting worried. where'd it go? how was he to get out? was he going to suffocate in the snow?
just as he thought that, little bits of snow were dislodging. falling onto his head. he whined, shaking miserably. only, that just made the roof start collapsing faster. he hunkered down, letting the chunks land harmfully on his head.

Yet again, things went a little crazy. Eva could barely believe what she was seeing. The small blue flying pokemon practically devoured the sammich in less than a bite. The sammich had been twice the size of it's head. Eva couldn't help but wonder at how the anatomy of pokemon really worked.
After the Taillow ate it seemed to have curled up on itself and passed out. Eva would address that in a moment, as for now she was going to find the Shroomish and let it know it was okay. From her standing point Eva wasn't quite able to see where the pokemon had scampered off to, and now it seemed as if it was gone.
"Shroomish?" Eva called out. No answer. Blue eyes scanning the snow tops Eva wasn't able to really find where it had went. Small tracks led to a sort of pile, and that had seemed where the Taillow was poking at. Walking curiously up to it, Eva could see nothing. 'What if it's hiding under the snow?' She thought.
Getting on her knees she began to shovel the snow aside. "Shroomish? Are you in here? The Taillow isn't hungry anymore, you can come out now. It's too cold to be sitting in the snow anyway."

the shroomish wasn't dead. he was just frozen with the fear and numbing coldness that was surrounding him. oh gosh, what was the trainer going to do to him now? the taillow? he didn't know.

Seeing the Shroomish underneath the Taillow almost caused Eva to have a heart attack. The poor thing certainly looked dead. It wasn't moving and its skin was a blueish tinge. "Oh god." Eva cried out, again trying to swoosh the Taillow away.
Without much thought for herself she quickly took off her jacket and threw it on top of the cold Shroomish. She had another jacket on but the chill was almost instant. She wrapped her arms around the mess of pokemon, snow and jacket and held it close to her. "Now see what you did Taillow, you might have killed the poor thing." Eva scolded gently, rocking the little pokemon back and forth in her arms.

Suddenly the world was warm again. Warm and dark. Wait, what was going on? The shroomish blinked a couple of times, his little legs wriggling about, feeling Eva's jacket around him and her arms keeping him warm. He blushed. <O-oh.. I.. Thank you very much> he whispered in a small voice. He was very shy, and this pretty girl had picked him up to help him! She was so nice!
But the tailow hadn't gotten such a warm reception. His face was full of guilt. He hadn't meant to almost kill the shroomish! Really! It was an accident! He'd just been hungry and then.. snow.. and.. But how was he to explain this to her? He hung his head, his small body appearing even smaller as her tucked his wings in.

It was such a relief to have the Shroomish wake up that Eva let out a sigh, ignoring the cold around her. Okay, maybe pokemon weren't as scary as the first encounter had made her believe. Eva wriggled the Shroomish around until it's head-thing stuck out. She considered asking if the pokemon would want to join her. Not only could she keep the little pokemon safe, but she wouldn't worry about walking away with the Taillow still looming. "Hey, Shroomish. Weird question, but you want to join me? I'd keep you warm all winter long, train you into a nice strong guy. You wouldn't ever have to worry about almost getting eaten again, what do you say?" Eva asked, trying to thrtow out good reasons for the Shroomish to just join her out of the blue.
Next she turned to the Taillow. "I know you're sorry, so it's okay." Eva said, smiling. Hoping she wouldn't offend the Shroomish by saying getting almost eaten then crushed was "okay." "It's cold out, you know... all snowy, so you have to be careful. You should probably apologize to Shroomish yourself."
Eva waited for the apology, mulling over what she wanted to do with the Taillow. It wasn't often flying pokemon came around. And a good flying pokemon would be the perfect addition to her team. It could also help her scout out the area, making it easier for her to traverse the route. She considered asking the Taillow if he'd like to join her. If not, she might battle him first.

::shroomish:: ::taillow:: pokemon encounter ! the taillow was still sulking about his misunderstanding. he'd been starving. and the little shroomish had sent a flare of hope through him. winter pickings were hard to come by. it was the strongest who survived. in this case, the little taillow wanted to be the strongest. but now.. he wasn't so sure. he appeared weak. resorting to eating another pokemon. the taillow's tiny body appeared even smaller against the wide expanse of snow he was wading in. he sulked, hanging his head in shame.
the shroomish was happy though. warm, and cuddling against the warm body of eva. at the question of whether or not he would like to join her team. it was instant. she'd saved him. she'd warmed him up. he wanted to stay with her. she was the only person who really understood his predicament, and even though it was pretty lame. she stuck to it. the shroomish nodded. < sure. sure. i'll come with you. > he nodded vigorously. then just pressed himself against her and listened to the beat of her heart.

eva was comforted by the knowledge that the little Shroomish wanted to join her. She knew in the back of her head that she'd be able to provide a good home for the little guy, and keep him out of the cold. She knew he'd get along fine with the rest of her team. Fishing a pokeball from her pack Eva pressed the little orb against the Shroomish and in a flash of red light, the Pokémon was gone.
Now, onto the matter of the Taillow. "So little guy. I've taken a liking to you, and I think you'd be a good addition to my team. Perhaps, would you like to join me?" Eva asked, looking hopeful. Two Pokémon for the price of one would be great, "And before you answer me, perhaps you'd like to battle? Warm up the blood a little, and you'd get to see my team a bit. Could always see if you like my style and such. See if you'd like to train with me. Just a thought." Eva rambled on. "If you win, you get the other sammich I have left. If I win, you come with me and eat all the sammichs you want? Sounds pretty fair, win win either way."

The shroomish happily allowed Eva to capture him. The prospect of warmth, love and no more snow was just too good an opportunity to pass up! He felt the red energy light envelop him and then all was safe relaxing darkness.
The tailow had watched this exchange with curiotisty but when Eva turned to him next he bowed his head feeling nervous. He wasn't sure if he was strong enough to battle anyone, even the idea of it frightened him a little! Couldn't she see how small he was? How could he ever win a match?
He looked up at the nice girl and flutteredhis wings. He didn't know how he was going to do this, but he knew he didn't want her to think badly of him. The only good that would come out of this he thought, was meeting her pokemon. He would like that. Oh, and the sammiches of course!

The look of hesitation made Eva frown. Perhaps it had been a bad idea to offer up a battle. "How about, instead of a battle you get to meet my team? See if they'd be pokemon you'd like to travel with." Eva questioned. She didn't quite want to fight a pokemon who didn't want to fight, and even looked a little incapable of it.
Eva pulled out her four filled pokeballs, wondering what the Taillow would think of her misfit crew. "First we have Venonat." Eva said, releasing the purple fuzz from his ball. He was clean now, but still looked a bit weary from his previous battle. "Next we have Skitty and Nidoran." The duo sprung from their pokeballs and curiously ran up to the Taillow. "And of course, here's my Buizel." With a bit of hesitation, Eva released the water pokemon. "Say hello guys, this Taillow might want to join with us."
Venonat did nothing but stare unblinking at the Taillow. Skitty and Nidoran ran around him, chirping words of encouragement. Buizel on the other hand crossed her arms and turned her back on the whole scene, still bitter about her capture. "And that's the lot of 'em." Eva said, looking hopeful. "Any chance you'd like to join on?"
OOC: Sorry about that. D: I'll remember for next time.

::taillow:: Level 6 | Male Guts Peck, Leer, Focus Energy Mute. Very small for his age and very careful. Quicker than usual, but a little bit clumsy at times. Points his wings at the venonat; Wants to Battle it! The taillow looked up at the trainer as she explained to him about perhaps having a pokemon battle instead seeing as he was a bit frightened. Of course for him the prospect of a battle was quite frightening seeing as he wasn't the most bulkiest of pokemon. However he cocked his head when he saw the team appear in front of him. He decided that the best way to see if he was truely interested was to take part in a battle, but he didn't know who to choose out of the four pokemon that were in front of him. Slowly looking at each one, he finally pointed one wing at the venonat, insisting that he battled it out of all the pokemon in front of him; of course, if the trainer could understand him and also wanted to battle as well.

Of course the creepy Venonat knew what it meant when he was pointed too. He took a few steps forward and stopped, waiting for Eva to tell him what to do. His unblinking stare never left the Taillow. Eva also knew (at least somewhat) what the Taillow meant. She recalled her other three pokemon.
Knowing that Venonat was a bit bigger than the other pokemon it face, Eva knew she should give it some leeway. "How about you attack first?" Eva called over to her opponent, "I'm sure Venonat wouldn't mind one bit, right Venonat?" Eva joked with her pokemon, who said nothing. Gosh, he was a creepy little thing.

::taillow:: pokemon encounter ! apparently he was to attack first. this was just perfect for him! the little bird had a strategy all planned out. there was even a miniature little picture doodled in the snow. he glanced down at it. nodded, then scratched his claws over it. he pounced forwards, wings expanding as he launched himself into the air. at first he circled the venonat, aiming for the perfect area to try and attack. and once he'd found it, the bird tilted his head and smiled. then he dove down as fast as he could manage, beak glowing and extending to twice it's usual size.
the bird was trying to pluck fur and fuzz from the bug's hide. he was even trying to get a handle on the venonat with his claws. aim for a better aim. though he was a clumsy bird. and with his speed, he was wobbling a bit. he just hoped his attack would go as planned. because, this is the way he had drawn it. that the venonat would just stand still. he hoped, anyway. the bird had his eyes narrowed, trying to pinpoint whether or not the bug was anticipating movement. so far.. so good.
