Three days had passed since Tokai had been taken. Haruka had lost his only means of communicating with pokémon and a dear friend. He would find Team Death and recover Tokai no matter what.
But first Mizuki would have to get stronger. If it was just a fight between humans there would be no problems, but pokémon could do things humans couldn’t, and they could survive what humans couldn’t.
And then the problem of how to train. Mizuki knew enough from her time with Tokai what to do in battle on her own, but there was still so much to teach her, and she couldn’t understand sign language or read.
They walked along down route 1, searching for a pokémon, or a trainer, or something. For now, Mizuki would mostly be on her own for battles. But Haruka knew that she would be up for it. She would take on any challenge.

-------- WILD MASQUERAIN SWARM APPEARED !
First steps on route 1 and suddenly a loud buzzing could be heard through the whispers of the winds. The buzz sounds grew in intensity as the flapping of wings approached the trainer from his left, at first completely invisible until the branches started to rustle. It was a flash of orange and white all at once, decorating the sky with their gorgeous wings that carried them so high into the air. Their cries echoed throughout the skies, alerting other Pokémon to their presence as they peacefully glided by. The swarm of Masquerain was an awfully large one, fluttering all over the place until all of them managed to blend into each other.
Their wings had patterns that looked like ominous eyes staring at those that looked up at them. Generally this swarm was a peaceful one, not wanting any conflict as they went on their hunt for food. They started to latch onto the nearby trees, looking like parasitic flowers as they licked up the small amount of maple syrup from each individual tree. Though they didn't mean any harm, attacking an evolved Pokémon like Masquerain would probably be a very bad idea.
As if that sudden appearance wasn't startling enough, another series of loud cries started to echo throughout the route. If Haruka wanted more bugs then he was bound to get them, as the much slower offspring of the Masquerain were also heading in this direction. It was up to the trainer to decide what he wanted to do next, as these Pokémon were a bit too docile to go out and attack him for no reason.

The arrival of the Masquerain surprised Haruka. His first though was that even more bad fortune was coming for him, but the wild pokémon went for the trees instead. Mizuki menacingly stepped forward to confront the new pokémon, but Haruka stayed her with a hand and a shake of the head.
But nearby might be some of the younger ones. A Surskit would not be very powerful, but it might still be useful. Or maybe he would find another bug pokémon nearby. A Venipede or Caterpie would be ideal. Or something else.
He took a moment to observe the Masquerain as they flitted from tree to tree, resting a while to eat. It was a beautiful site, and the sound of their wings made the forest sing.
They walked on

WILD MASQUERAIN AND SURSKIT SWARM APPEARED ! Level 22 Intimidate Gust||Water Sport||Ominous Wind Sweet Scent||Quick Attack||Bubble Docile - Quick - Very very hungry Swarm! The masquerain fluttered gracefully from tree to tree as their young caught up with them. One in particular flew low to the ground, calling out gently until a little group of surskit appeared from the under brush. They scuttled towards the larger group of bugs, trying to huddle together. A few of the braver blue Pokémon ventured out further to try and find some water. A puddle nearby provided some fun for them as they splashed around.
It wasn't long until the blitzle caught their attention. Unlike the adults, the young were far more curious. They crept closer to the trainer and his pokemon, wondering who they were. Several masquerain turned to watch the surskit babies as they got closer to the strangers. They kept an eye on them, but did not intervene.

With his hand on Mizuki he felt her bravado flow out of her. She had never had to face a group this large. She had never, as far as Haruka knew, face any more than one. With the watchful eyes of the Masquerain all around, he couldn’t see a way to actually catch one of them, or train against them.
He walked ahead, past the approaching Surskit. He looked at them and smiled, and lead Muzuki away. He looked back occasionally to see if any would follow. If one was curious enough, it might follow on its own, then he could fight it.

Haruka saw the young Surskit as it fell behind. He felt bad for it, knowing he was about to take it away from what it had known, but that was what trainers did. He touched Mizuki and pointed towards the lone Surskit. Mizuki looked up and he nodded. Mizuki charged forward and knocked into the poor Surskit at full force, then turned on its hoves and thrashed it with its tail |--Quick Attack |--Tail Whip

The spray of bubbles mostly missed, but a few made contact. The sting of them surprised Mizuki, but she brushed it off and charged again with the same technique. Haruka was relieved that Mizuki knew what she was doing on her own. For now, that would be good enough. But he would still need to find a way to train this new one. He readied his pokèball. |--Quick Attack |--Tail Whip

Even so, she wasn't going to just give up and lay over, no matter how scared she was after falling behind. The poor pokemon was lonely and she didn't know what to do, hoping that one of the others would come back for her like they always did. Well, one could only hope, but she was usually the loner type at times. Even right now, as she was hit by another quick attack and tail whip more bubbles shot out of her mouth aimed at the blitzle in hopes of defeating it. ::surskit:: SURSKIT (F) 5 swift swim bubble shy - gets lost easily/falls behind - scared [def-2] hit by quick attack and tail whip used bubble! health is red!

The Bubbles hit Mizuki full on and she felt the pain of it. She wanted nothing more than to stomp the creature into the ground. She charged forward. Haruka threw the pokèball at the Surskit. The ball connected. Mizuki glared at the ball as it closed. She hoped it would fail so she could obliterate the creatures. |--Pokeball

SURSKIT APPEARED ! Surskit's efforts to get away were ultimately in vain. Not only was she reduced to a mere limp of a run to try and flee, but the Blitzle behind her was catching up very quickly. The Bubble, no doubt, must've hurt her, but not enough to stop her in her midst. Quick Attack, true to its name, hit too quickly for her to dodge. The odds were against her; she had little chance of escaping when she could when her swarm wasn't there to protect her. But they could afford losses.
The wounded creature gave a pitiful wail before crumpling to the ground, too young to know what would happen to her.

Haruka smiled and picked up the ball. He would have to figure out how to train this new one, but that would come. The name would be Alanna. The problem of conveying that name occurred immediately. It also occurred that there wasn’t much point naming it since he would never use the name out loud.
But he might yet find Tokai and be able to effectively train again. So the name would stay. Alanna, the Surskit.
The sound of a Starly drew his attention. It sat in front of him, preening itself, glancing at him. He only had the two pokémon, and both were weak. But the Starly looked mostly harmless, so he wasn’t worried.
He knelt down, reaching out his hand, curious to see what the pokémon would do.

-------- WILD STARLY APPEARED !
The trainer was suspiciously quiet, but he appeared friendly enough in the eyes of the Starly. All she wanted was love and affection, so she eagerly hopped towards his hand to greet his touch. She nuzzled right into it, chirping pleasantly as she took in the rather forced affection. He was probably expecting her to sniff it or something primitive like that, but no. She happened to be quite tame around humans, enjoying the variety of them as they each tried to capture her. Yet how could one admire beauty when trapped in a Pokeball?
She was a tease and she knew it, having a terrible tendency to fly off and mess with trainers that thought she wanted to go home with them. All she wanted to do was reach out to as many humans as she could in hopes of spreading STARLY AWARENESS. That was correct, as hardly anyone could appreciate a fine Starly such as herself these days. <Hehe, he likes me. So quiet though. You should talk.> She giggled, finally backing up and chirping at the trainer. If anything, she was a bit confused at the silent response.
She would've loved to hear him compliment her, but alas, she wasn't saying any of her feelings out loud. She knew she was about as vain as the wicked godmother in Snow White Chicken. She accepted it at this point, not seeing it as a bad thing as long as she could get by. This very trait usually became a burden on the Starly without her even realizing it, as it distanced herself from making any close friends. Not many liked to be around such a vain Pokemon, after all. Who would even put up with her when they saw how terrible she could be?

Haruka smiled at the Starly as it nuzzled his hand. It was a beautiful pokémon. He contemplated brining Mizuki back out and healing her. He could battle the Starly and capture it.
But that would take too long and the pokémon might just fly away before he had a chance. Unless he didn’t need to battle it.
This one was calm enough that it just might work. He stroked its head and just under its jaw, smiling kindly at it all the while. What a fantastic addition to his team. He needed a flying type. For the obvious reason, but also for variety. Plus this starly looked more powerful and experienced than the pokémon he already had. Maybe as much as Tokai.
Thinking of Tokai brought to mind another reason he would need a flying pokémon. To get Tokai back from Team Death. To act as a scout, to fly him there, to fight.
But without his voice, how could he convince the Starly?
Maybe it would just follow him.
He stood up, smiled at the little bird, and walked slowly away. He stopped a few paces away, and looked back at the bird to see if it would follow him.
