Darko stood right before the road, staring out at the path. Route One. The Beginning of his journey. He had come so far to get there. At times, he felt like he would never make it. But that was all in the past. He was free from that now, though he knew he was less than so in his mind. He had to focus on the positives. He was a Pokemon trainer now. He had a duty to the new Sandshrew he had just picked up. He could not let him down. Thinking of the little guy, he pulled out his Pokeball and released the creature inside. A yellow Sandshrew appeared, stretching and yawning. He looked up at his trainer and blinked. "Shrew," he said happily.
A smile twitched on Darko's lips. The sight of the Pokemon warmed him considerably. He was no longer alone. The Sandshrew would not judge him like people did. They had a chance to forge something great. "It's just you and me, Tod," he said. "Let's get started." Together, the two of them headed forward along the path. The Sandshrew trotted beside his trainer. Darko glanced to the left and right in an attempt to see movement in the trees and listened carefully to the sounds that were given off. He wondered who and what they would meet along they way. He was ready to prove himself and add on to his team.

---- WILD NIDORAN & TAILLOW !
It was a fairly nice day in May, with several clouds coating the sun as if it was wearing a suit and tie. The area might've had some gloom, but the wild flowers flourished across the route. Some flora was added for decoration, while others were supported with human techniques to keep the area as beautiful as possible. Wild Pokémon scattered all across the route, but the mayor of Ile Electrique and Professor Winter both agreed to spend some effort on keeping Route 1 as safe as possible. Sure, it still had its dangers with unpredictable trainers and wild Pokemon, but it was still one of the safest areas in the region. It was the perfect place to start a Pokémon journey, for sure.
<Are you going to give me the letter yet?> A Taillow was perched on a fallen tree, glaring down at a Nidoran that seemed a bit too infatuated with a pink envelope in her paws. The Nidoran's ears perked up at the demand and hastened her affections, covering the paper with a barrage of loving kisses. <I want him to feel all of my love!> The Nidoran persisted, speaking in between hasty kisses on her love letter. All the Taillow could do was roll her eyes, wanting to get on with this mail delivery already. She had places to be, and customers to serve.
<O-Ok...please take care of it.> The Nidoran tentatively handed over her love letter, putting her entire heart and soul into that message. It was a bunch of hieroglyphics that just about anyone could read, in her opinion at least. So her drawing abilities were lacking in the talent department, but that didn't mean that her darling FREDERICK couldn't understand her love. <Finally.> The Taillow huffed, transporting the letter from her beak to the small backpack that was tied around her chest. It was a bit of an odd scene to watch, especially if one wasn't used to interacting with wild Pokémon. Were they worth investigating?

Darko enjoyed the scenery. He loved nature. He would have been fine walking along a path like this for hours, which was probably what he would end up doing. The weather was nice as well. The young trainer soaked up everything through his senses. There was so much beauty around him. He wondered when he would run into a wild Pokemon. He did not have to wait long. He stopped a good distance away when he saw the Nidoran and Taillow. What were the talking about? The Nidoran handed the Taillow a letter, which the bird put in a pouch around its chest. Darko frowned in thought. He was not sure what to make of the exchange.
Tod had been watching curiously as well. He was too far away to hear the exchange. He guessed that the Taillow was some kind of messenger. But what was in the letter? A secret message? The Sandshrew knew it was probably private, so he stayed back and looked up at his trainer.
Darko glanced at his own Pokemon. Perhaps the Sandshrew could make something out of this odd little seen. "Do you want to go see what they're up to?" he asked. He did not think it would hurt.
<Ok,> Tod said with a nod. He hoped the wild Pokemon would not attack him, but he would never dare disobey his trainer! With that in mind, he trotted over to the duo. <Hi!> he said in a cheerful tone once he was close enough. <What's the letter for?> He titled his head to the side as he watched them out of curiosity.

The Nidoran gasped at the sudden intrusion. <W-WHO ARE YOU? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? YOU ARE NOT MY DARLING! YOU CAN'T SEE THIS! I NEED AN ADULT!> she swooned violently like she was going to faint. Her companion rolled her eyes, fanning the poison-type with one of her wings.
<Pull yourself together, he doesn't seem hostile...> Taillow grimaced at the dramatic display. With large, teary eyes Nidoran sniffled a few times and nodded, drawing in a sharp breath and trying to calm her nerves.
<I just love him sooooosososososososo much! I don't want anything standing in the way of our TRUE LOVE!> she screeched. <Not even y-oh my> it was like she was seeing the world in color for the first time. <Well look at you, what a fine specimen you are~> sauntering closer to sandshrew, she attempted to rub her cheek against his, and she shuddered with pleasure. <Are y-you single?>
<What about Frederick?> Taillow let out a sigh. This wasn't the first time nidoran had switched targets, and it definitely wouldn't be the last.
<Who?> poison-type giggled, attempting to plant a sloppy wet kiss on sandshrew.

The Sandshrew felt a bead of sweat form on his forehead when the Nidoran began freaking out at him. From what she said, it sounded like she had written a love letter. No wonder she was protective over it. Tod looked at the Taillow for help. He was beginning to wonder if he should back away slowly when the Nidoran changed her tune. He blinked in surprise.
The Sandshrew grew hot and nervous when the other Pokemon rubbed her cheek against his. He was not quite sure how to act. He had never received so much attention before. At least not this kind. <Erm,> he said as he fumbled for words. <I guess so.> His eyes widened at the Nidoran's attempt at a kiss. He stumbled backwards and ended up tripping on his tail and falling on his back.
Darko was watching the scene with keen interest. He had never seen anything like it. It was almost like the Pokemon were human. He supposed they had thoughts and feelings as well. He was not sure he liked where this was going. He needed to continue on his journey with Tod. They could not stop for some love-sick Nidoran. Perhaps the wild Pokemon would leave the Sandshrew alone if she saw he had a trainer. It was for the best. With this in mind, the young man sauntered over to the scene. "Having fun?" he said to his Pokemon, staring down at him with calm interest.
Tod chuckled nervous as he slowly stood back up. He looked from Darko to the Nidoran. <Uh...>

This was great! Oh too great! He was single and so was she. They both could fix this soon and neither would be single anymore. >Oh... So you would you want to be not single anymore? We can do it together.< She said as she crept even closer to the Sandshrew after she spoke. >Come on. We can be the new power couple. The new Brangelina!!< She said, ecstatic as she started to clasp her hands together.
As she did this, the Taillow quickly sighed. >Frederick. The one you love? You know? That one? What about him?< She asked. She wasn't ready to give up on that yet although it did seem like a lost cause at this moment.
And it pretty much was a lost cause. >Frederick? Oh, he's just a stable boy compared to my prince!< The Nidoran said as she looked at the Sandshrew with shining eyes.

Darko could see this was not going to end soon. He decided to stay back and watch. He figured it was best to let his Sandshrew sort this out by himself. It would be good experience for the Pokemon. Besides, the trainer did not know what they were saying, though he could guess what the Nidoran's intentions were by her actions. Darko hoped Tod was better with girls than he was himself. He did not want his Pokemon to get into trouble as well. They both had to move forward.
The Sandshrew frowned in confusion as he stared at the Nidoran. Not single? Was she implying...? Oh! He understood. He began to feel nervous again. The Nidoran was pretty, sure, but this was happening too fast. He needed time to think. <Uh, shouldn't we get to know each other first?> He glanced at Darko again. He knew he probably wanted to get going. <I have to go with my trainer, but you could come with us if you want to.> He gave the Nidoran a weak smile. He hoped that was an acceptable answer.

The Sandshrew blinked. Flirt? He watched the Taillow fly out of the area. Some help she was. Tod was unsure if he liked this flirting. Didn't the Nidoran want to battle? He glanced at Darko. He supposed it would be his trainer's job to train her. And was it not the Sandshrew's duty as his Pokemon to help him catch new team members? The Nidoran seemed to have moved onto Tod from her old love quickly. Maybe that would happen again. This eased discomfort and made him more confident in accepting what the Nidoran had said. He only moved a little bit, not as much as before, as she nudged against him. <Sure, so long as you listen to my trainer.>

The female Nidoran's eyes lit up brightly, sparkling like stars in the sky. < Oh, yay! > She cheered, her whiskers twitching. She hardly seemed to be listening to her new crush though, and she had yet to even look at the trainer watching them.
< Do I get to kiiiss you? > Cooed the Nidoran, scootching even closer. Her spikes brushed dangerously close to the Sandshrew, the poison in them just waiting to be unleashed. Of course, the light blue rodent hardly seemed to wait for an agreement before trying to kiss the desert shrew again, her buck teeth making her kisses extra sloppy with saliva.

Tod shivered as the Nidoran moved closer to him. He eyed her spikes warily. Weren't they supposed to be poisonous? What were they doing so near to him? He swallowed hard. <Uh...> His eyes darted around quickly as he fumbled for words to say. <I don't know about that. I just...> His eyes landed on an apple sitting near the base of a tree. Quick relief seeped through him. He tried to take a step back from the Nidoran. <You know, I'm feeling hungry. Are you hungry? I think it's time for a break?> He chuckled nervously as he stared at the apple. He was not sure if the distraction would would, but the Sandshrew was willing to try anything at this point.

Tod stared at the Nidoran. Was the drama necessary? She was taking everything way out of proportion. That was not even what he had meant! He had barely begun to think of a way out of this mess before he was attacked. He let out a gasp of surprise. That hurt! <Hey!> he cried. This was no fair! What was a Sandshrew to do?
Darko took sudden interest in the situation. He did not know exactly what was going on, but he knew that his Pokemon was now in danger. He did not think he would have to battle the Nidoran, but he had been ready in case it became necessary. The time was now. "Tod, you've got to fight," he said in a commanding voice. "Use Scratch right back!"
The Sandshrew shivered. He did not think that was such a good idea. He did not want to anger the Nidoran even further. But he could not disobey his trainer. He feebly swiped at the wild Pokemon with his claws before jumping back and curling up into a ball defensively.

Deserved it? Broke up with her? The Nidoran was delusional! The Sandshrew had just been trying to get out of a sticky situation. He had never meant to lead her on. He hoped his trainer did not plan on catching this Pokemon. Tod did not want to have to deal with her again. He was hit by the scratch attack, but the damaged was not too bad.
Darko suppressed a groan at the way his Pokemon was behaving. Was he scared to fight? They would have to fix that! Thew young trainer decided to use the special move Tod had because of how he was bred. "Use rock climb!"
Tod heard the command. Ever obedient, he uncurled from his ball position. <We were never even a couple!> he couldn't help but say to the Nidoran. The Sandshrew got down on all fours and charged at his opponent with full force.

But luckily, her poison point also activated, sending some poison back to the Sandshrew, maybe not enough to poison the pokemon or maybe it was enough, but regardless physical attacks against the Nidoran was a bad idea.
And nor was she done yet. >No one breaks up with me! No one does it and denies it!< She said before she charged forth with another scratch against the Shrew. She was not going to go down that easily. She would put up some sort of a fight.

Darko knew a counter attack must be coming. He wondered how many attacks the Nidoran knew. The Rock Climb seemed to have affected her greatly. Perhaps she was of a lower level. This was the first route on the journey, so he supposed it was likely. "Dodge her attack and use Scratch!" he ordered. He was interested in seeing how quick his Sandshrew's reflexes were. He was pleased that he was so obedient.
Tod felt a jab of poison seep into his skin as he struck the Nidoran, though he did not think it was enough to poison him. He wondered if that had been such a good idea after all. But he was just obeying his training. He did not bother to continue arguing with the Nidoran. He took her as a lost cause. He needed to focus on the battle. He had barely heard Darko's command before the female Pokémon came at him again. He tried to get out of the way, but it was too late. The Nidoran managed to scape his backside and do some damage. The Sandshrew quickly spun back around and used his own Scratch attack against the Nidoran. He had longer and sharper claws. That meant he had the advantage, right?

almost shrieking manically now, the fact that the sandshrew wasn't even replying now made her more desperate than before. she was on the verge of sobbing, so distraught was she that the love of her life, love at first sight, the romeo to her juliet had broken up with her. she had never felt so slighted. this was worse than when frederick had stood her up that one time to go play football with his mates, way worse. < you-- you-- y-you broke up with me! why? wh-why would you do that? a-am i u-u-ugly? what's wrong with me-e-e?" she cried tearfully, sobs breaking up the syllables in a weird way. flinging herself forward and aiming her fierce claws towards the nidoran's face, she tried to scratch his eyes out, which she thought would be a small recompense for the way he had crumpled her heart up and thrown it in the garbage.

What was wrong with this Nidoran? Did she take everything so personally? Maybe Tod should apologize. He had never meant to upset her. He had barely enough time to duck out of the way of her attack. He scooted back a little bit. He was getting tired. <I'm sorry,> he said through gasps of breath. <I just don't know you.> He had offered her a way out of that, but she hadn't taken it.
Darko's eyes quickly scanned the situation. He had to end this soon.He did not know the extent of his Pokemon's strength. "Go around her and use Scratch again," he said.
Tod was quick to react. He could feel adrenaline running in his veins. He wanted to finish this as well. He ran behind the Nidoran (far away from her poisonous needles) and tried to scratch at her back.

<ALL I WANT IS YOUR LOVE!> were her final words. As the scratch turned critical she collapsed from the force of the blow, laying limp and still in a loose ball on the ground. Flank rose and fell with each breath she took, proof she was still alive. In time she'd recover, but would her heart ever be the same again?
Probably. She had loved many before him and would love many after him. As the wind lightly blew through the tall, wavy grass, only the busy white noise of the route remained.
Nidoran fainted. +1 level to sandshrew. Throw a pokeball?
