Nathara almost leaped for joy as the sound of a completed capture reached her ears. She walked over to the sphere and picked it up, examining the pristine surface. Just yesterday she had been wondering if she was really cut out to be a trainer.
"Razel, are you okay?"
The dark pokemon made his way over to her position.
<Yeah. Maybe we should rest for a few minutes before continuing, though.>
Nathara nodded her head in agreement.
"Of course. There are plenty of trees to provide shade. We could rest under one of them until we're ready to continue."
After scanning her surroundings and spotting a tree suited for their needs, she sat down in it's shade, followed closely by her partner. Once she made sure that Razel was settled, she resumed her casual inspection of her new pokemon's ball. Would he appreciate being let out right now? Would he rather recover in peace? What should his name be?
The sound of quiet dozing next to her made Nathara smile.

Up in the top of the tree, a pidgey was teaching her children how to fly for the first time. <Just flap your wings and you'll get it.> She cooed softly, knowing her next actions would be quite harsh but obligated to do so anyway - her motherly instincts told her to do so. The squawking chicks were each nudged out by their mother pidgey's beak, and each one managed to fly successfully - except for the last one, who was a bit of a runt and stubborn to boot. Thinking that not opening her wings, although she knew the concept of gravity, would allow her to survive the fall anyway, she did nothing as her parent nudged her out in hopes she would soar like her brothers and sisters.
The young pidgey dropped like a rock onto Nathara's lap, the teen's legs cushioning her fall. Immediately she gave a squawk as she realized that she'd descended upon a foreign human and possibly disturbed them as well. This enabled her to take flight like the fall hadn't, and she began beating her wings to escape the vicinity of the trainer.

Nathara was still contemplating the matter of her unnamed yanma when a young pidgey plopped into her lap. This sudden turn of events startled her out of that train of thought.
"Wha..."
Before her mind had finished processing the existence of a baby pokemon in her lap, the youngster took off, flapping wildly in order to escape from the strange human.
"Wait, please come back! I won't hurt you.", she called after the pidgey while getting to her feet. This woke Razel, who's bleary eyes blinked open. It took a few moments for his sleep-heavy brain to come to speed with the situation, but once he did he decided to stay put. His claws may frighten the little thing. Instead, he watched with mild interest, resolving to interfere if he thought it necessary.

At the sound of the young girl's voice, the little baby pidgey stopped mid-flight. She'd never heard the sound of a human's words before, and certainly not the bell-like sound that came from a female like Nathara. Beating her wings she returned back down to the gentle-sounding human, emitting a few little cheeps. <H-hi.> Uttered the baby pidgey, not quite old enough to know more than a few words.
Meanwhile, the mother pidgey watched anxiously as one of her young spoke with the human that had been resting underneath the tree.

Nathara gave the pidgey a gentle smile. This pokemon seemed rather young, almost too young to leave the nest. Maybe it hatched late.
"Hello, young one. It looks to me like it's your day to leave the nest." She used a quiet, soothing voice she had heard her mother use with sick or injured pokemon.
Back at the daycare, more than a few eggs had been found abandoned on their doorstep. If no trainer was found who was willing to take on the responsibility, her parents would hatch it themselves. She was therefore no stranger to baby pokemon, although the only ones she had ever interacted with had been born in an incubator, and not in a forest.

The baby Pidgey nodded as it flapped it's wings to stay in the air. <T-todays be me f-first flying lesson>
[/color] It chirped out to the female human's question. The bird pokemon glanced back up to it's mother in the tree and saw she was watching it. Over protective mother! It gave a short huff to itself before gazing back at the human. <Wat are y-you doin' 'then?>[/color] The Pidgey questioned Nathara back in curiosity. [/center][/size]

Nathara followed the baby pokemon's gaze up into the branches above them. She spotted the much larger pidgey, who was looking a little wary. After a few seconds, she returned her eyes to the younger of the two.
"You see, I'm a pokemon trainer. This is my partner, Razel."
The sneasel raised a hand in greeting.
<Hello.>
"A short while ago, we had a friendly battle with a wild yanma. We won, but Razel was tired from the fight, so we decided to take a short rest under this tree of yours. I hope your mother doesn't mind."

The little pidgey listened curiously to the trainer's introduction. <I'm a little baby pid.. jeee.> Said the little baby bird happily. After hearing about their battle with a yanma, the little fowl shook with excitement. <Battel? I want to have a battel too!> She cried out, taking flight and doing a few loops in the air. <Mommy! Can I have a battell!?> Squawked the pidgey, looking at her mother.
Then, without waiting for her surprised parent's confirmation, she flew back down to Nathara and Razel. <I'm a big birdie! Battel me!!> She squawked, flapping her wings in anticipation.
::pidgey:: Baby pidgey challenges you!

Whatever reply Nathara had been expecting, that wasn't it.
"You want to battle? Well, I can't say no, seeing as you're so excited..." She glanced at Razel.
<Hey, I'm not one to back down from a challenge.>
He jumped to his feet, seeming somewhat recovered from his previous fight.
"Alright little pidgey, it looks like you have yourself a battle."
Nathara stood up as her sneasel walked a few paces away from the tree, in order to make more room.
"Razel, use Reflect!"
He was instantly surrounded by the move's blue glow, ready to meet his opponent.

The little inexperienced pidgey fluttered in the air for a few seconds, tilting her head at the Sneasel as he enrobed himself in blue light. She had no idea what that attack was, but she decided to go with her plan anyway - pummel him until he fainted miserably to her strength! Beating her small wings, the pidgey soared through the air at the Sneasel, gaining enough speed to Tackle her opponent.

Nathara searched her mind for a strategy to employ. This battle, she guessed, would be similar to the previous one. Luckily, this pidgey was much younger and had less battle experience. It probably had less moves too.
What about that one tactic I used?
She remembered the moment clearly. Yanma had been using pursuit on Razel, and she had ordered him to dodge, while scratching with his claws as the opposing pokemon flew by. It had worked marvelously then, so it may work again now.
"Dodge, Razel, and then use Scratch!"
The pidgey's tackle was much easier to dodge than yanma's, whose base speed stat was much higher. Razel, recognizing the combination, sidestepped the attack and lashed out with Scratch.

The mother pidgey decided to stay put in the nest, knowing that all of her children would have to learn how to battle in one way or another. She watched as her young offspring battled against the trainer.
Pidgey gave a cheep of alarm as she flew swiftly past the Sneasel. On the way, she felt a strange ripping sensation in her breast, but she didn't get the full feeling until she landed on the ground a ways away from her opponent. There, she felt the full effects of the painful scratch that Sneasel clawed in her, giving a pitiful cooing of pain. A bit tired, she stood back up with a little trouble and turned to face her opponent.
Taking flight once more, she flew again towards the speedy blue pokemon and angled her body for yet another Tackle.

(Oh dear, I don't want to make the battle too easy on myself, but a sneasel's base speed is about double of a pidgey's...)
Nathara watched as the baby pokemon lifted itself back into the air and got ready for another tackle.
"Meet it's attack with a Scratch!"
Razel got a short running start then leaped into the air, his claws poised once again for a Scratch attack. As he connected with the pidgey, the Reflect from the beginning of the battle cushioned a good amount of the damage. He was still tired and sore from his first battle, however, so the remaining damage hurt more than it should have.

The Pidgey bounced back a little from her successful tackle, but temporary gratification was soon met with horrifying pain as the Sneasel yet again clawed a gash into her. A shrill peep exited the small bird's mouth when the pain of it transported through her limbs. Being young, she was very inexperienced in battle, and the two attacks had taken their toll on her.
But she wouldn't give up. Though the two scratches would slow her down slightly, she still advanced towards the Sneasel again, head bent in another Tackle attack. As she flew, her breaths were shallow and pained.

"Alright Razel, dodge and use Scratch again!"
Nathara felt rather bad for the pidgey. It was obvious that the baby was in pain, and that took the edge off of the excitement of battling. A fight between two adult pokemon was one thing, but to accept a challenge with a mere child...
That pidgey wouldn't be a child forever, though, and if Nathara had her way, she would oversee that growth.
Razel dodged again, using the tactic that was becoming more familiar and easy every time he used it. This time, the sneasel aimed his Scratch at his opponent's wings.

This time the little baby Pidgey was determined to dodge the coming attack. She saw the dodge coming and quickly swooped upward, just barely avoiding the terrible claws. Seeing their younger sibling perform so well that turn, her brothers and sisters gave a cheer as they swooped through the air and watched the battle with excitement.
Then the little baby bird did an odd thing: she felt her brain execute a new sort of attack. Her wings shone silver, and as she dove back down to retaliate on the Sneasel she raised her wings in order to slice them like claws at her navy-blue opponent.

Nathara bit her cheek in irritation. Apparently the same thing didn't work twice in the same battle. Suddenly, the pidgey's wings started to glow a metallic silver, and it swooped down once more at Razel.
"Dodge!"
The dark pokemon jumped out of the path of the dangerous-looking wings, but the sharp edge still sliced him. With a cry of pain that made Nathara's heart wrench, Razel fell to one knee.
"Razel!"
She contemplated switching her poor sneasel out for Yanma, but he was probably still too weak. Instead, she pulled out one of her potions and, running over to Razel's side, sprayed it over his body. It wouldn't completely heal him, but it would give him enough strength to continue fighting.
<Thanks.>
With a visible effort, the sneasel returned to his feet, adopting a defensive position.

Seeing Nathara use the potion, the Pidgey decided that she had to work even harder. She paused birefly before diving in for another attack. Her wings shone, and there was a look of determination on her face. She was going to try her best, and she descended quickly, aiming to slash before Nathara was prepared.
Her brother and sisters were watching, with complete intent. It made a ton of a difference if she won or lost to them. So, they cheered, hoping they would have the honor to slap her on the back. If she lost, well, they didn't want to think abou that.

"Razel, dodge!"
Nathara backed away from the battle again as her sneasel successfully evaded the frightening move. Steel was very effective against her partner.
Searching her mind for a good way to continue, she decided that maybe it was time to try out a new move.
"Use Leer!"
Razel sent a defense-reducing glare at the bird pokemon, glad for the potion's rejuvenating effect.

Pidgey tried to look away from the fierce gaze that was aimed at her, but failed and felt herself unconsciously lower her guard. Shaking her head to snap out of it, she descended and attempted to use her newfound attack once more against the dark pokemon, extending her shining steel feathers towards him. She could feel her own ragged, shallow breaths and knew that it wouldn't be long before she fainted - unless, of course, she managed to overcome her opponent.
