Mountains. Mountains and cold. Two words that were never meant to be seen together...or shouldn't, anyway. Scaling up the rugged path, Cahse found herself in the middle of nowhere. It was so freezing; she huddled tightly to keep herself warm. Luckily, she had packed a coat and was was relatively set for this weather. Poseidon seemed happy enough. He was a penguin, so he never had to worry about cold. Even ice attacks did little to him, and they'd do even less as he evolved into a water/steel type.
Continuing on her way, she sighed. She didn't even have a compass... Looking up, she watched the snow fall. 'If only it wasn't snowing...I'd just ride Jupiter. Damn it all' Shivering, she grumbled and complained the whole way up. She had nothing to look forward to here...she already had an ice type...or was she just being too whiny for her own good?
Poseidon chirped a couple of times, singing some kind of tune as he waddled along happily through the mountains. "Po! Po Po PO!"

Huh? Up ahead?
A stooped figure up ahead appears to be sifting through something. Dark... skin, fur? And three bright red feathers on its tail, one sticking out of its ear.
What /was/ that thing?

Chase coughed a couple of times and shivered again. Hurrying forward, Poseidon jumped a couple of times. "Po Po Pochama!" he cried excitedly, 'There's someone ahead!'
Looking up, Chase did remark a weird little creature. Or was it little? She couldn't tell. Shielding her eyes from the blustering snow, she made out what she thought may be a Sneasel. Of course, there was a chance she was wrong. Regardless, it would have been kind of neat had it been, for a second Sneasel would make a nice team with the one she owned. Looking into it further, she anticipated the creature's attack...unless this was just some guy with a ridiculous sense of fashion.

The pokemon, indeed a Sneasal, seems to be shrieking something to the snow.
<DON'T WORRY I'LL GET YOU OUT STAY CALM MMKAY OKAY JUST TAKE DEEP BREATHES--I MEAN, NO! DON'T BREATH! YOU'LL SUFFICATE! BUT IF YOU DON'T BREATHE-->
It was then the Sneasal noticed you.
<YOU HAVE TO HELP! WE WERE PLAYING BY A NEARY RIVER AND A BIG BLIZZARD CAME AND BURIED MY FRIEND IN ALL THE SNOW!> said the Sneasal, looking anxiously at the trainer.
<YOU DON'T HAVE A FIRE TYPE... do you?> it began to calm down. Slightly.

Chase rubbed her head. She couldn't make out what the Sneasel was trying to say very well... Luckily, Poseidon understood it all. Leaping up at Chase, he latched on to her bag. Selecting Amaterasu's Pokéball, he threw it down and the Vulpix came out. Peering around, Ammy was confused. Who had summoned him?
"Oh I get it. I'm too slow" Chase admitted, rubbing her head, "Amaterasu, use ember and melt that layer of snow!"
Sticking up his snout in a snobby manner, Ammy trotted towards the Sneasel. Using a strong ember attack, he did what he could to melt the snow to uncover the Sneasel's 'friend'. Of course, being a stuck-up little fox, there was a chance that the poor Pokémon underneath would get burned. Poseidon growled and narrowed his eyes, but there was no stopping an inconsiderate snob of a Vulpix. Oh well. Chase liked him, so he had to as well...

[[ I suck.
I must have made a record for screwing up. .-. ]]
A Skiploom squealed in pain and anger as the flames revealed the pokemon very frantically trying to extinguish the fire now occuring on top of the yellow flower over its head.
Eventually relizing it was surrounded by snow, it managed to extinguish itself and turned towards the pokemon and trainer.
<You could have been more careful.> said the Skiploom hatefully, using a Synthesis to restore some of the minor burns before turning to the Sneasal.
<Who are they?> it asked, nodding pointedly towards the vulpix.
<I couldn't claw through all that ice!> replied the Sneasal indignantly.

Amaterasu sat down and licked his paws, paying no mind to the ones speaking to him. "Po Pochama Chama" Poseidon said, shrugging, 'He has selective hearing'
Chase stood behind them, still slow at understanding the Pokéspeech. She wasn't sure what to do at this point. Starting a battle seemed kind of rash and she was particularily interested in a grass/flying type that didn't learn a variety of attacks.

<THANKS A LOT FOR SAVING US AND--> The Sneasal started, breaking off as a small breeze picked up and the Sneasal was forced to wrestle it to the ground.
The two cast eachother tired looks, the Sneasal clambering off the Skiploom once the wind died down.
<It'd be nice if we could stay together. With you flying away and all, who knows when I'll next see you.> said the Sneasal woefully.
The Skiploom nodded, seeming to wilt at the thought. A disadvantage of being light and with too short arms to grab onto anything.

"I guess we should be on our way, Poseidon, Amaterasu..." Chase admitted, deciding it would be best to leave these two alone in the wild. Amaterasu joined her almost immediately, trotting with his trainer without even flinching. Poseidon lagged behind a bit before running off in pursuit of the two who'd just decided to leave.
"Pooo!" he cried, 'Wait!' He jumped on to Chase's back, just managing to latch on. "You need to work out" Chase teased, rubbing his head.

<HAAEEEYYYY... WHERE'Y GOINT WITHOUT US!> cried the Sneasal, glaring in mock anger at the trainer.
<Please, take both of us with you?> asked the Skiploom, the Sneasal nodding eagerly.
<Then Skiploom wouldn't fly away, and we could stay together!> agreed the Sneasal eagerly.

"Huh?" Chase exclaimed, "What?..." She turned around, confused.
"Po Po Po" Poseidon said, eyes closed in a pensive manner, 'They want to come with us' He knocked Chase's head a couple of times. With a flat expression on her face, she bonked the penguin before addressing the duo.
"Okay, you can follow us" she said apologetically.

The Sneasal and Skiploom jumped with glee, both giving eachother a high... well, it certainly was difficult for the Skiploom's short arms to reach high enough, so it was more of a high tag.

Now with two more allies following them, Chase continued her journey in the mountains. Still huddling, she wasn't as social as she usually was. So cold. Chatty with the other two, Poseidon seemed quite happy to meet some new friends. Amaterasu promptly returned himself, disappearing. He was better off in his ball anyway.

(Finally, my Absol charrie appears! XD) Soul slowly followed behind the trainer, unsure of what she should do. Having just witnessed the two who had willingly joined her, she had made the decision to challenge this trainer. After her first trainer died, she'd kept to herself...but now, she would have another. Perhaps.
<Greetings, human,> the Absol growled, appearing from behind a snow-covered bush. <I wish to challenge you, for you seem both skillful and kind-hearted.>

OOC: LOL! Cool :3
"Hey Poseidon...Look. An Absol. Those are really rare" Chase remarked as she turned around and witnessed the snowy white dark type. It was quite a sight; a rather beautiful Pokémon despite being known as the 'disaster'.
Poseidon cocked his head to the side and smiled in confusion. "Chama Pochama Cha" he explained, 'Absol wants a battle, Chase'
Understanding her penguin better than others, she looked around. Sneasel and Skiploom appeared pretty content, but there was no way she would make them fight. Of course! Poseidon! She'd be needing him for her next gym battle. He was truly vital. "Alright, Poseidon. You give it a shot. We need warm up!"
Jumping down, he stood regally before the Absol. Of course, being small, he looked rather silly and ridiculous. The likelihood of him winning this battle was as small as he was, but it didn't mean he couldn't earn some experience. Chase really need to train him...as well as many others on her team...
"Ready when you are, Absol"

<Very well,> snarled Soul. Twisting her head, she lunged forwards with a Bite attack, her head blade stuck out on the other side. This was a strategy Nyjen had taught her-attack with Bite, if they manage to avoid it, there's still her head blade to reckon with. She missed her trainer.

Ouch. "Poseidon, jump! Follow up with bubble!" Chase ordered quickly, watching as the Absol and it's deadly blade closed in on her precious Pokémon. Rolling over, Poseidon leaped into the air acrobatically, performing the bubble attack as he sailed over Absol. It wasn't particularily accurate, but he managed to avoid a potentially devastating attack. He'd have to be careful. Landing on his feet, he sighed hesitantly.

Soul swished her head, popping a few bubbles, but took a little damage anyways. With a growl, she launched herself into the air after the penguin, her mouth opened to deal another Bite. It was much harder to dodge in midair...
