Kalina entered the forest, full of cheer and singing her favourite song that she picked up during her time here. She was singing in Japanese, so only those who understood the language would know what she was singing. The lyrics were going something along the lines of
"Kimi wa kimi da tashika menai yo kawari nante hoka ni inain da karenaide ichirin no hana" Her clear, beautiful voice was just another trait of her alien heritage, and she only ever sung when she was incredibly happy.

Up ahead, a small bee-pokemon let out a shrill cry. It's wings were frozen to the side of a tall ice-covered tree. It buzzed sadly, wriggling to try to free itself.

Noticing the poor Combee, Kalina ran forward and summoned Solaris. "Use Fire Spin to free that little Combee" she instructed, stroking the Combee gently. <It's okay> she whispered in gentle Pokespeak. <You're going to be okay. We're going to set you free.>

Flames melted the ice, and bits of the tree as well. Suddenly free, Combee deftly avoided being burned by stray fire and landed in Kalina's arms, grinning at the girl with a mixture of gratitude and relief. <Fire is just as bad as ice> it buried it's face into her chest, shivering lightly.

<I know, because you're a bug type> Kalina said with a smile, stroking the Combee. <But someday, you have to learn to overcome your fears. I know it'll definitely take some time, but some fears can be overcome with a little determination.>

It buzzed sadly. <But winter's here. I don't know how much time I have...> Statement was intentionally ambiguous. It refused to tear itself from her embrace, sticking to the trainer like glue.

<You have plenty of time> Kalina assured the Pokemon. <Just make sure you find a nice, warm place to stay until the winter passes. I believe that's what some bugs normally do, especially the Combee of my planet.> Giving the Combee another gentle stroke, she sat down in the snow and looked up at the sky. <It was always so beautiful. And I can see that beauty again, whenever I want to.>

It didn't respond, having fallen fast asleep in her arms. Buzzing softly in it's sleep, it was finally warm for the first time since the first snowfall.

"Aww, such a cute little Pokemon" Kalina said with a smile, rocking it gently like she would one of her children. She then carried it along, looking for the Combee's hive. She knew it might take a while, but she didn't care.

The frantic cries of another pokemon shattered the silence of the otherwise peaceful afternoon. <Where are you?> It was faint, probably very far away.
Investigate?

Kalina immediately began to run towards the voice, singing to the Combee in the manner of a lullaby all the while. She was determined to see this Pokemon returned to it's family.

A large, regal bee checked every tree and bush, looking for her lost child. <I just sent him out to get some honey...> She buzzed to herself, growing more concerned with each moment that passed. In her panic, she failed to notice Kalina.

<Umm, excuse me Ms Vespiquen> Kalina said, making sure to perform a regal curtsey. After all, she was adressing fellow royalty, even if it was a Pokemon. <But I found your son. He's here with me> she said, holding out the sleeping Combee. <You see, his wings were frozen to a tree, so I had to help him. Then I came looking for you so I could return him.>

Vespiquen whirled around to face Kalina, features softening as she laid eyes on her son. <Oh good, you found him... I was getting so worried...> Gently, she scooped him up into her arms, clutching him tightly. <I have to pay you back somehow... Stay here.> With that, she left, to deposit her snoozing son at the hive before returning with a shiny, metallic disc. <It's not much, but one of my workers brought this in instead of honey... I have no use for it, so you can have it...> She passed it over, before thanking Kalina once more and retreating to the safety of her hive. --- You've received TM 29 (psychic)

<Thank you ever so kindly!> Kalina called, making sure to perform another curtsey to the Vespiquen before it vanished. Temporarily calling upon her Tangela to braid her hair once more, the TM was soon hanging loosely in a strand of her flowing silver hair. Hey, she a Light Screen TM in her hair already, why couldn't she have a Psychic one too?

A Metapod lay twitching there in your path. Odd, a bug Pokemon here in the in winter time? The little green bug gave another twitch, another shake, and began to glow eerie white among dark ground of the forest until, out of the snow and soil and shell arose a Butterfree, wings still damp from its transformation and still disoriented from its fresh evolution. Oh, the wonders of the natural world.

Kalina gave a gentle smile as the Metapod evolved, glad to see such a wonderous thing. <Hello little Butterfree> she said in a gentle tone of voice, holding out her hand for the Pokemon to land on.

"Free!" It responded cheerily, wings shaking to rid themselves of the slime they had been coated in previously. The trainer had startled her to be honest, but there were some things that remained universal, gentleness of tone being one of them and she felt at ease hearing the soft timbre of the woman's voice. Giving her wings another shake, the Butterfree fluttered upward somewhat shakily and landed lightly atop the trainer's hand. "Butter...?" It inquired. Why was the trainer so far from its nest? What if some stranger tried to steal its flowers, oh no! Wondering why the woman didn't seem worried about the prospect of foreign threats to her flowers, the Butterfree studied her with a curious, confused expression on its face. All the while, letting the cool breeze dry her wings.

Kalina gently stroked the Butterfree's hand with one finger, looking into the bug Pokemon's big eyes with a smile. But when she noticed the expression on the Pokemon's face, she asked <Is there a problem? You look a little worried. Maybe I can help?>

ooc - I like how in your first post it was a female, and then was referred to as a male throughout the second post... XD; confused much?
Butterfree shook it's head, pushing the thoughts out of it's head. The human had to know what it was doing, after all. As it gazed into her eyes, another thought began to form. Would this girl like a battle?
<I wanna test my new wings> it said slowly, wriggling in her grasp. <Do you have any pokemon I can battle against?>
