((*Waits for Cazz to show up*))
Now that she'd defeated the first Gym Leader, Aryll was moving on to the next route. She started along the path, keeping her eyes on the enormous bridge far off in the distance. The sky behind it glowed a soft orange, growing darker and more red closer to the horizon. Aryll had always thought that sunset was so beautiful. Finding a small patch of trees, she sat down, leaning against the trunk of one, taking a break to admire the sky that looked like a wonderful painting. Little Keo and Nalia sat beside their trainer, curling up next to one another.

Suddenly there is a mysterious rustling in the bushes, and you hear a low whine. It sounds like a scared or injured pokemon.
Do you investigate or move on?
(It'll be a while, so I thought I should have a wild pokemon appear.)

Aryll turned her head, looking around, but seeing nothing. "What was that...?" Keo, who also heard the sound, carefully got up, trying not to wake Nalia. +I'll go check it out,+ Keo said. Aryll apparently understood. She nodded, and the catlike Pokemon started toward the source of the sound. He crawled under the low branches of the bush to the other side...

There appeared to be nothing on the other side of the bushes. If you listen carefully, the rustling seems to be coming from just above Keo.

Keo looked all around him, still seeing nothing. Moments later, he noticed that the sound came from above. The tree beside him had rough bark, so his claws would be able to grasp it easily, and he started climbing up. What is that noise?

In a particularly leafy part of the tree, not very far up, that was where the call was coming from. You could see a blue wing, just sticking out of it.

+Hmm? A wing? Wonder what that is...+ Keo continued to climb up the tree trunk, until he was at the same height as the other Pokemon. Then, he found a sturdy branch and began climbing out along it, approaching whatever was there...

<Help me, I'm stuck!> Upon closer inspection, you could see that it was a Taillow. It was caught in the leaves, and couldn't escape.

+A bird caught in a tree? Well, just stay still. I'll come get you down.+ Keo carefully walked further out on the branch, which was getting more narrow and weak towards the end. When he reached the Taillow, he wasn't exactly sure what to do. How to free the bird without falling? Getting an idea, he dug his hind claws deep into the tree branch and wrapped his tail around it tightly. With his front claws, he slowly started untangling the leaves from the Taillow's wings.

Once the Taillow could move again, she thanked Keo, and lifting him up, she flew down, to perch on Aryll's head. After placing him on the ground of course.
After beating the gym leader, Cazz was wondering along route one with all her pokemon out. She saw a girl, that she thought may have been at the gym, and went to introduce herself. "Hi, I'm Cazz. What's your name, and err.... why have you got a wild Taillow on your head?"

"Nice to meet you, Cazz. I'm Aryll." She took the Taillow in her arms and stroked its soft feathers. "Actually, I have no clue why this Taillow was sitting on my head..." She looked to Keo the Zayra, who sat beside her. +I rescued the Taillow,+ he said, cheerfully. "Apparently my Zayra here just rescued this Taillow. From what, I don't know..." Aryll laughed. "I was going to explore this area for a while before heading for the next town. Want to join me?" she asked Cazz.

The Taillow climber up over Aryll's shoulder, and tried to open her bag. It seemed to be looking for something in particular.
"I'd love to join you. I don't really need any more pokemon, but a couple of levels would be good. Er... why is the Taillow in your bag?" She returned all of her pokemon, except Flare, who she had decided would travel out of the pokeball.

Keo woke up Nalia and the two approached Flare. +Hello, I'm Nalia and this is Keo,+ the female Zayra said cheerfully. Aryll took off her backpack and opened it. "What is it?" she asked the Taillow, wondering why it what it was searching for. To Cazz, she said, "I have no idea what it wants... I met it just now, and it's wild, so I don't even know why it's not flying away..."

The Taillow climbed fully into the bag. Squawking, it started rummaging through the contents.
+Hi, I'm Flare, nice to meet you!+ Flare flapped her wings gently. "I wonder what it wants," Cazz said. "Anyways, um... what sort of pokemon do you like?" She couldn't think of any other questions that fitted the situation.

+Nice to meet you. I've never seen your kind before,+ Nalia said. "Umm... Anything, or just the types? Dogs, cats, and birds are my favorite, but as for types... I like ice types, even though there aren't many... Flying is probably my second favorite type. Why? What types do you like?" Aryll questioned. She glanced back at the Taillow, still confused by what it was doing.

"Oh, I was just wondering. I like Fire, Ice, Psychic and Dragon. As for specifics, I'd really like a Staryu. Shall we go?" She walked a few steps, before turing to wait for Aryll.
+Our kind live in the skies, and don't come down to earth much anymore. What about you?+ Flare replied. +What type are you? I'm Ice/Fire.+

+We're Normal/Flying types. When we evolve, though, we could become one of many different types... Sort of like that fox-ish looking Pokemon, what's it called?+ Nalia tried to remember. +Eevee,+ Keo answered. +But unlike Eevee, when we become a new type, we can learn nearly any move of that type with a TM.+ "Yeah, let's go. It's going to get dark real soon," Aryll said, her voice trailing off as her gaze turned back to the beautiful sunset.

<You must be pretty rare as well, I haven't seen anything like you before. Hey, would you like a ride on my back, you don't look too heavy?> Cazz looked back at the sunset. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

+Yay!+ Nalia said happily. She and Keo were used to riding Aryll's Pidgeotto whenever they traveled and enjoyed it. Although, Aryll couldn't figure out why they had to ride a bird since they had wings of their own... Keo smiled and bowed, but declined the offer. +I think I'll walk this time.+ Aryll stood up, and almost took a step, but she remembered something. "Just wait a minute, Cazz." Aryll pointed to the Taillow, who was still searching for something inside her backpack.

Flare landed carefully on the ground, to that Nalia could climb on. <Hop on,> she said. "I wonder what it's looking for," Cazz said. "Hey, watch out!"
The Taillow took off and started flying in circles around Aryll. It was holding something, which it dropped on Aryll's head.
