[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]Phillip yawned and stretched as he stood up outside his tent. A winter fog had rolled in while he slept and had yet to be burned away by the sun. Beside him, Grani also yawned and stretched, which looked quite cute considering he was a bug. The red-haired youth smiled and picked up his starter. “Ready to move on, buddy?” The Venipede churred in response and wasted no time latching on to the front of his trainer’s shirt. Phillip sighed. It was funny how quickly one got used to eccentricities. Even though had just started his journey, it felt like months had passed already. Funny how time worked in the Cheyenne region.
The rest of the hour was spent eating a light breakfast before packing up camp. Cato came out briefly only to eat a small amount of kibble before returning to his pokeball. It seemed that the Abra had still not forgiven the trainer for capturing him. Even if the word ‘capture’ was used very loosely. Speaking of capturing, though—once the tent was folded away, his bedroll packed, and the coals buried, Phillip sighed and straightened his back, only to chance a look above him. There, hanging from the tree branch, was a rather drowsy-looking Zubat. The young man shrugged, fished out a pokeball, and tossed it straight up. There was a muffled squeak as the ball hit the pokemon, then it came right back down. Phillip caught the ball with ease and watched as it rocked in his hand once, twice, three times, then stilled.
“You know, I wonder when I’ll actually have to battle to catch a pokemon,” He said down to the bug on his shirt. Grani waved his antennae in response, but otherwise remained silent. Phillip sighed. ”A stunning conversationalist, as always, bud.” Then again, what else did he expect from a bug. ”Let’s just get moving.” He sighed. This was something Grani could agree with, and soon the pair was back on the road, trudging along through the thick fog.

Pokemon Encounter!
A large Zigzagoon peered out of the bushes he'd been hiding in, watching the trainer and his bug pokemon. The zigzagoon's tummy rumbled loudly and he squeaked, trying to suppress the noise. But it was too late. He growled at himself, annoyed that he'd alerted the trainer to his whereabouts so easily. Oh well, no point in hiding and spying now! He leapt from the bushes, running in a zig zag pattern around the trainer and his venipede, stumbling as he did so.
<I'm huuuuungry!> he yelled, implying that the trainer should do something about it.

[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]The trainer blinked and looked around when he heard an odd rumbling noise. “Hey, did you hear something, Grani?” He asked the bug. It almost sounded like a stomach growling, but it wasn’t him, and it didn’t sound like it came from Grani. Suddenly a wild Pokémon jumped out of the bushes and started yelling and zigzagging around them. Phillip jumped when the Zigzagoon first appeared, but now he just stood there, watching it run around him. ”…. Does it want something?” He wondered. The youth fished his pokedex out of his pocket and scanned the thing.
” Zigzagoon, the Tiny Raccoon Pokémon. Zigzagoon is extremely curious and so ends up walking in a zigzag path between things that interest it.”
For his part, Grani just hissed and clicked angrily at the wild Pokémon. Who cared if it was hungry!? This wasn’t a charity. He waved his tail antennae warningly at the Zigzagoon, telling it to back off or else. This action did not go unnoticed by Phillip.
”Grani, behave. There’s no reason to go picking fights willy-nilly,” He chastised. Grani simply growled and dropped off the front of his trainer’s shirt. Hitting the ground with a thud, he turned and started waving his antennae fiercely at the very noisy newcomer.

Pokemon Encounter!
The zigzagoon blinked as the trainer checked his pokedex for information on his species. He wagged his tail, feeling curious about the beeping noises. But then the venipede hissed at him and he immediately crouched down on his guard now. When the bug type jumped down and started clicking and waving his antennae furiously at him, the zigzagoon barked back in anger. He was just asking for food! What was his problem?
He was unsure whether he should attack or not so he settled for a growl.

[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]”I said stop that!” Phillip chastised. Bending down, he picked up his starter, who then started squirming and wriggling back and forth in his grip. ”And stop that too! Honestly, you’d pick a fight with Arceus if you could find him.” The trainer placed the bug on his head in hopes of keeping it away from the Zigzagoon. The bug seemed content with this situation as he instantly stopped clicking and instead started chewing on Phillip’s hair. It was perhaps the weirdest feeling the red-head had ever experienced.
Phillip smiled thinly and crouched down in front of the wild Pokémon. ”I bet it was your stomach that growled, wasn’t it?” He smiled. He brought his pack around and pawed through the main compartment before fishing out a can of Pokémon food. ”Are you hungry?” He smiled and offered a handful to the wild badger thing. Take your outdoorsman advice from Phillip, kids, and feed wild animals from your hand!

::zigzagoon:: pokemon encounter ! it seemed the trainer and his pokemon were arguing back and forth. about him? maybe so. this upset the zigzagoon as he went to turn away. however, the trainer sooner offered the little badger food. which, of course. he twirled and chittered happily. taking the food and eating in delight. < thank you! this is absolutely wonderful! > however, just then he tripped slamming into phillip's head. he grunted, a low growl eminating from his mouth.
he'd done this by accident. however, by the way the venipede was acting.. the little poison bug wouldn't think he was pretending. the zigzagoon whined, tilting his head.

[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]”Oof!” Phillip was knocked onto his butt by the accidental Tackle. Key word being accidental. The trainer knew that it was an accident. Grani, of course, didn’t. Or maybe he just didn’t care. The bug hissed furiously and leaped at the Zigzagoon, letting out a wave of Poison Sting as he did so. He would defend his territory against any intruder, whether his trainer liked it or not.
It turned out that Phillip did not. ”Grani, stop! It was an accident!” The bug, of course, didn’t listen. Or perhaps he just didn’t care.

Realizing now that it was time to get things going with this course of action, Hey, that was mean, it was just an accident, but if you insist, I want to get stronger too, let's battle! the dog-like Pokémon said as he wagged his tail a little more. Now he was readying a serious attack as he started to run forward, and then fell flat on his face. Oh yes, he was a little too clumsy, but now he was ready this time and then used a fierce growl on the bug Pokémon. There was no way he was going to lose to this overgrown bug if he dared to attack him with a poison sting. Oh yes, he was highly offended. That's when he walked up and then bashed his head against the bug Pokémon in a tackle, having walked up to him to do so. The tackle would most likely hurt the bug Pokémon more than anything, especially with just the level difference too. That's for hitting me, meanie, he said, but was intent on continuing this battle.

[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]The bug Pokémon hissed in laughter when the Zigzagoon fell on its face. What a weak, pathetic excuse for a Pokémon. Soon he was hissing in pain, however, when his opponent quickly got up and Tackled him. The Venipede was knocked back and quickly curled into a ball, heightening his defenses. That Tackle had hurt, but he was still nowhere near admitting defeat. With a hiss he started spinning and charged towards his enemy in a Rollout.
Phillip watched the battle with worry. Now that the Zigzagoon seemed to be fighting back with gusto he didn’t want to step in and end it. Stupid things like that was how trainers got hurt, even if he doubted that the Pokémon could really hurt him that much at this level. Still, it might be good for Grani to release all that pent-up energy, so the trainer decided to just let the bug Pokémon have his fun.

[STYLE=border-bottom: 5px solid #FFC7FF;] [/style] The zigzagoon was watching the bug pokemon with weary eyes and noticed it was starting to roll up into a ball. This wasn't good, and when it had hardend it's shell that only meant this was going to hurt, but the zigzagoon soon wagged it's tail in it's direction. A viable tail whip, but it would do as the zigzagoon felt the impact break his concentration from the hit. Suddenly he moved to the side after a while, and rubbed his stomach a little from that as he then bashed his skull against the back of the bug pokemon. Deciding to try hitting him from behind and catch him off guard as that last hit had hurt a little. Yet, he failed to understand it was going to get stronger in general, and now he was just trying to lower the pokemon's defense to score a larger hit on the target's back. Ow, geez, that sure packed a punch, but I'll prove to you that I'm stronger! he said to the bug-like pokemon, and was ready to pull this attack off. Finally letting his body try to connect even as the bug pokemon looked like he was slowly getting back up from using rollout on the zigzagoon. ::zigzagoon:: Level 7|Male Pickup/Gluttony Tackle - Growl - Tailwhip ~Larger than the average zigzagoon ~ Clumsy ~ Wants to get stronger~ Hit by Rollout!

His plan was to swing around and use Poison Sting, but before he could so much as look in the other direction, his trainer called out a command. ”Defense Curl!” Phillip shouted suddenly. The bug obeyed as quickly as he could and instinctively flared his Poison Points. The Zigzagoon slam into his back, almost at the same time that he’d curled back up and he realized that Phillip must have seen the wild pokemon go in for an attack while Grani’s back was turned. It gave him a small boost of confidence knowing that his trainer hadn’t completely abandoned him in this fight, even if he didn't agree with it. The bug rolled away as soon as he could and spun around. Unrolling, he let out a barrage of Poison Sting at his opponent. He knew by instinct that poisoning the thing would help in the long-run. | [atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true] Grani Health at 45% Gender: Male Level: 6 Abilities: Poison Point & Swarm Attacks: Defense Curl - Rollout - Poison Sting - Spikes Actions: Used Defense Curl & Poison Sting -2 Attack / +1 Defense

ZIGZAGOON APPEARED ! Zigzagoon felt himself bash into the hardened back of the insect and recoiled, feeling almost like he'd been hurt himself in the attack. But it was a temporary feeling; his body was strong enough to handle a force like that. He leapt backwards as the Poison Stingers were launched at him, then winced as they embedded themselves into his soft flesh anyway. Darn; he felt like he could've danced out of the way of those, but he missed his chance.
Yet the battle raged on, and it was his turn to act. <Am I stronger yet?> He voiced almost ditzily before wagging his tail towards the Venipede to lower his defenses. Then he started dashing in his direction, leaping to close the distance between them and tackle into the bug. He found himself turning sideways in the air, a result of his clumsiness jumping.

[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]”DEFENSE CURL!” Phillip yelled, getting into the heat of the battle. It was obvious that this pokemon was a bit stronger than Grani, but he was confident that his started could pull through and win this. Besides, he was complaining earlier about not having to battle to catch pokemon, and now here was his chance. He just needed the raccoon to get down to lower health, then he’d lob a pokeball.
Grani really didn’t care at the moment whether his opponent was caught or not, though. The bug heeded his trainer’s command and curled up as quickly as he could. By now it was basically a back and forth battle of Tail Whips and Defense Curls. He felt the wild pokemon clumsily knock into him and was pushed back a little. Then he dug into the ground and started spinning in place. When the Venipede had finally built up to a satisfactory speed, he took off in a Rollout, aimed at his opponent. Despite feeling a bit bruised and winded, he wasn’t about to get beaten, or at least without giving his enemy a good thrashing.

::zigzagoon:: pokemon encounter ! the zigzagoon winced, hunkering down slightly when the bug appeared to be getting thicker skin. he whined, however, took the hit almost as soon as he saw it coming. it would've been hard to dodge, anyway. the zigzagoon rolled over onto his back, groaning with the impact. < hmm.. > he said, rolling his shoulders as he got to his feet. his muscles shuddered slightly, but he shook the snow from his fur and yawned.
with a stretch, the oversized zigzagoon leaped forwards, charging for the venipede in his only offensive move. < TACKLE GO! >he roared, mouth open as he felt the thrill of battling. he honestly didn't really find this battle at all real. merely some sort of game. didn't matter though! he was gonna try and win this! < if i win.. do i get stronger? i like getting stronger! > he giggled slightly.

With a muffled thud he landed on the snowy ground and uncurled. He felt sore and bruised all over, but even so, he would not give up. With a furious hiss he faced the Zigzagoon and spat Poison Stings at it, then leaped forward and hunkered down into the snow; curling up so that only his red hump was showing. Phillip bit his lip. He wasn’t sure how much longer Grani could hold out. He cursed the fact that Grani only knew four moves (one of which was useless right now) and couldn’t wait until he learned something new. The trainer dug a shrunken pokeball from his pocket and prepared to throw it.

A wave of nausea passed over the normal type, causing him to stumble slightly, which allowed for the Poison Stings to sink deep into his skin.
Goosebumps ran the length of his spine and he shivered involuntarily, and then promptly dug his heels in and went for a loping charge at Grani. He was determined not to lose this fight – oh no, he was going to win! He just had to get the poison type to faint from exhaustion, right? No problem.
He hoped. He growled cutely, attempting to lower some of that attack power from the Poison Sting, and attempted to Tackle it. Hopefully it would work!

Hey~ If you're having some difficulties coming up with how to use your attacks, here are a few suggestions for you! If you use Def. Curl and Rollout, the power of Rollout increases, or so I've heard! Otherwise, you can always use Spikes in a non-aggressive way, but more for tactics. I mean spikes are still spikes, right? While on a wild Pokémon they can't really do that much, you can still try to "herd" a Pokémon into a trap or something by using them!
You can also use your surroundings a bit more, so rather than firing off Poison Stings at the Pokémon you're fighting, shoot them at an overhanging branch and try to get it to hit the Pokémon or to pin it down~ Combining attacks is cool, but using them for creative things is definitely fun! And if Grani doesn't care much for tactics, you can always have your character order him to try it, and that'd give them a new grounds to develop trust on ;)
Hope I helped!

[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]It had to be now. Phillip clicked the button on the pokeball to expand it and lobbed it at the Zigzagoon. The capsule hit the pokemon head on and sucked it in before it had a chance to tackle Grani. The ball closed and fell into the snow. The center button on the front flashed red as it wobbled. Phillip furrowed his brow and crossed his fingers. Here’s to hoping for a new teammate. | [atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true] Grani Health at 20% Gender: Male Level: 6 Abilities: Poison Point & Swarm Attacks: Defense Curl - Rollout - Poison Sting - Spikes Actions: Still curled up -3 Attack / +2 Defense

pokemon encounter ! The zigzagoon was stopped in it's tracks as he tried to tackle Grani because a very hard pokeball had hit him in the face. A red light enveloped him pulling him into the sphere. The pokeball fell to the ground, shaking violently as the zigzagoon tried to prove his strength by escaping. But the poison coursing through his system had weakened him too much for him to have much energy left. After a few tense moments there was a satisfactory click as the pokeball confirmed the capture.

[cs=2][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellspacing,0,true][atrb=cellpadding,0,true]Phillip started at the ball, then blinked, unable to believe what his eyes were telling him. "I did it..." He breathed. Walking past his starter, he bent down and picked up the capsule. He couldn't believe it. Inside this small, apple-sized orb was a pokemon. His pokemon. "I did it," He repeated. "I mean, you did it. Ah hell, we both did it!" Phillip laughed and scooped up his Venipede. By now Grani was pretty worn out and bruised all over. The little hug still managed to wave his antenna in a weak sort of way, showing his satisfaction in their victory. Even if he would've preferred to beat the stupid raccoon into a pulp.
The trainer sighed. His first legitimate capture. Sure he'd technically captured Cato and Loki, but he didn't have to battle for them. This little guy was all his own, fair and square. He gently placed his starter on the ground and dug through his pack. "You know, I think I'll name the little guy Hermes," He said as he fished out an Oran berry. "How does sound to you, bud?" Grani frankly didn't care. The bug just waggled his antenna and snatched up the offered berry like it was a last meal. The trainer sighed. "Of course I can always count on you to be the insightful one." He smiled and rubbed the bug's shell anyway. "You did good, though. Really good. And I'm proud of you." The starter didn't pause in his eating, but he did give a rather cute churr in response.

Now that the trainer had managed to beat the zigzagoon, hopefully there would be some time for him to relax with his pokemon and rest for a bit? Well, unfortuantely God and Arceus had decided to be trolls today, and not far from the trainer there was a bush that suddenly appeared out of nowhere! Weird right? Well, to make matters worse was that the bush was rustling really loudly, as if there was a massive pokemon that was inside it, waiting to jump out and do something terrible! If the trainer wanted to reamin unharmed for the rest of his journey, it would be wise to make sure all of his pokemon were ready to fight if they were needed.
