Nathara cheered silently. With the lowered defense, one more hit might finish this battle. What she was about to order Razel to do was rash, but the effect of the potion wouldn't last forever. The battle needed to end soon.
"Meet it with Scratch again!"
The sneasel's body tensed in preparation, and then he leaped into the air towards the bird pokemon, claws stretched.
The steel wings sliced Razel on the forehead, and he almost blacked out in midair.
On the ground, Nathara could only watch in concern.

Pidgey gave a screech of pain as the terrifying claws came fearlessly - even as she was attacking Razel! - at her, and she nearly fainted right at that moment from the pain. Losing the will to keep herself in flight, she dropped to the ground like a weight. Her fall was only cushioned by the slight fluttering she did before she landed. Drops of blood fell from her scratch wounds, and her eyes looked upon the sky before the brave baby pidgey fell unconscious.
::pidgey:: Pidgey has fainted. Sneasel gains 1 level! Attempt a capture or move on?

Razel fell back to the ground with the young pidgey. He stayed conscious for a few, bleary seconds, then blacked out.
Nathara's heart thumped wildly as she pulled out the sneasel's pokeball.
"Return."
Razel couldn't hear her, of course, but the pokeball still activated, pulling her exhausted partner into it's dark solitude. She then took out an empty one and threw it at the fainted pidgey, after giving it's mother an apologetic look.

The pokeball hit the unconscious bird and swallowed it inside its metal confined. The pokeball rocked a couple of times, as the fainted pokemon's will did not allow it to be caught so easily. The mother stared in horror, letting out a screech, but knowing it was unable to do anything. It was an unwritten rule that when a wild Pokémon lost to a tame one, the tame one's trainer had the right to capture it. It still broke her heart, though, seeing her precious little pidgey being engulfed in that telltale red light.
The pokeball finally stopped shaking and clicked shut, a sound every experienced trainer was familiar with.
You've caught a Pidgey!
Name: Gender: Personality: Childish Level: 3 Attacks: Tackle, Steel Wing
----
A large shadow loomed over the area, completely blocking off the sun for a split second as he flew past it. Blaze had been circling the area for a while now, a bit bored. He was frustrated and angry and especially wanted to prove himself to Syl and his stupid little gang of misfits. But it was the only way to truly get back at the region that had shun him and driven him away.
Atop his Charizard, who was glistening under the sun, skin dark as ash, he spotted a lone trainer in the first route. Blaze commanded his Pokémon to land, right next to the pokeball that held the pidgey. His pokemon's claws made a large thud when it touched down and Blaze gracefully slipped off Ryuuku's back.
"Hello, there," he told the girl. "I'll just be taking this." He bent down and picked up the red sphere, minimizing it and slipping it in his pocket. There was a smirk on his face, and not an ounce of regret for acting a way that was taboo to any trainer that owned a Pokémon. But with Ryuuku behind him, he felt invincible, and looked quite intimidating.
The mother pidgey on the tree started to panic, not knowing what to do. She flew over, hoping to stop the newly arrived man to take her baby away, but was stopped in her tracks by the gaze of the large fire lizard.
Blaze stole the Pidgey! What will you do?

Nathara watched, wide-eyed and open-mouthed as a trainer on a dark-skinned charizard landed on the ground before her and scooped up the caught pidgey. This was so far out of the realm of imagination that for a moment she was frozen in place, like a stantler about to get run over by a car.
"E-e-excuse me, but you can't j-just take that pokemon!"
She had never been confrontational, but this angered her as much as it frightened her. People that could remorselessly take other trainers' pokemon certainly weren't above other crimes, including pokemon abuse. That she couldn't tolerate.
Once the initial shock wore down slightly, a question popped into her head.
Why would an obviously high-level trainer want a common pidgey?
It was too absurd a notion to even try to explain.

::Blaze:: Blaze had been ready to just climb back onto Ryuuku's back and fly away when the girl spoke again. He thought about still ignoring her and leaving, but decided against it. He was going to have some fun. " But I just did," he replied. " What are you going to do about it?" He brushed a stray lock of hair away from his eyes, his palm getting scratched a bit by his two-day old stubble. It was hard to keep himself well-kept when he was on the road, but really, he did not care. Unlike that other guy. He did not even want to think about the redhead. It only served to infuriate him. Instead he focused his eyes on the girl before him. Not too hard on the eyes, but not his type. Well, it wasn't as if he was going to see her again in the future. His mission was complete, and no further contact was needed. [[could you link your character profile to your PC? It makes it easier to find]]

(Done. Well, at least Nathara hadn't been ignored, like she had half expected. What was she going to do? Razel was unconscious... Yanma. She knew that her yanma stood no chance against this monster of a charizard. Not only was experience stacked against him, fire was effective against bug pokemon. The situation was hopeless. However, she wasn't going to leave this innocent pidgey to a lawless trainer. Her morals screamed against running away. Taking out the correct pokeball, she enlarged it. "Yanma, go!" The pokemon sprang out of his ball with a quiet buzz. He blinked tiredly, but the massive fire-type shocked his mind into wakefulness. < You want me to fight that?> "Yanma, please. He just swiped the pidgey I caught. I'm not sure what he plans to do with it, but it can't be good." She then turned her attention back to the ill-kept trainer. "I'll fight for it." ::yanma::

Blaze saw the pokemon, almost unsure if it was a joke or not. Apparently, though, it wasn't, and the little girl was actually challenging him to a battle. He laughed a bit before glancing over at his Charizard, silently asking him if he'd like to do the honours. This wouldn't last too long, and both trainer and Pokémon knew it. Ryuuku looked positively bored, and almost did not want to go, but he was determined to make his trainer look good, to make Blaze more proud of him than any of his other teammates. His trainer's attention deserved to be on him only, and he was going to make sure of that.
Extending his wings, the Charizard used it to fly forward just a bit, before landing between the Yanma and Blaze, ready to fight. He had a glint in his eyes, challenging the other Pokémon to go first.

Nathara's blood froze, her moment of bravery vanishing like smoke. What had she done? Yanma was going to be pulverized, and it was going to be her fault.
Unfortunately, it was too late to back down.
"Yanma, use Pursuit!"
The bug pokemon hesitated, obviously fearful to execute an attack that would, in the end, prove to be a futile action. He obeyed, though, and flew up several feet. Once he had attained an acceptable altitude, he dove towards the charizard.

Blaze did not even have to give a command, simply watching the battle with a look of amusement on his face. The Yanma was going to lose painfully. He watched Ryuuku take the attack, barely making it flinch, before opening his mouth wide, wings extended to fully display his beauty and power, before unleashing a Dragon Pulse. There was a slight tremble on the ground when the attack was initiated, but Blaze had been ready for it, making sure his stance was firm. Dust was picked up by the attack, making it hard to see for a bit, but Blaze patiently waited for the particles to settle and to admire the carnage his precious had done.
Ryuuku's tail was moving from one side to the other, the fire at the tip of it swaying back and forth from the movement. It had been quite a while since his last battle, and he had been afraid he'd gotten rusty. However, like flying, once you learned how to do it, it was impossible to forget. The attack had been brewing at the back of his throat as the Yanma approached him and he took advantage of the close distance to unleash the powerful wave. It was electrifying, the rush of adrenaline he got from the attack overpowering his senses.
It was great to be back to the land of his birth.

The ground trembled, and dust swirled in the air. Nathara widened her stance in-order to increase her balance, and blinked rapidly, trying to dispel the particles from her eyes.
What was that move that had engulfed her poor yanma?
As the dust cleared, she saw the fainted pokemon, twisted into a weird position and smoking slightly. For the second time, she was frozen by shock for several seconds.
"Yanma..."
Nathara pulled him back into his pokeball, hoping with all her being that Yanma would be alright.
"Well, I have no other pokemon with which to stop you. There's nothing I can do now. Just know this: If I ever become strong enough to challenge you for real, you can bet your pokemon that I will. I can't know that the likes of you are at large and not do something."
Her voice was surprisingly steady, even though inwardly she was shaking like a leaf. Her pidgey was stolen and Yanma defeated, possibly for good. Again, she wondered if she was really meant to be a trainer.

[[Yanma gained 1 level from the battle]]
Seeing that their opposition was dead, Ryuuku turned around, using his wings to propel himself a few feet off the ground to land next to Blaze again. The trainer stared at Nathara for a bit before digging into one of his pockets and throwing two items toward the girl. He did not know why he had done that, but a part of him felt he could not just leave. Sure, he had a mission to complete, but he could not just leave the trainer here to die.
Ryuuku lowered himself a bit so he could climb onto the black Charizard's back, before they were off again, flying over the trees and out of sight.

Nathara caught the two items, but didn't look to see what they were until the trainer and his charizard had vanished from sight. When she finally, did, a strange sense of warmth spread through her.
They were Max Revives.
Whoever that man was, he had just proved something that Nathara had been taught from birth. There is a bit of good in everyone. She was by no means alright with his style of obtaining pokemon, but she couldn't bring herself to be angry.
Pulling out the two occupied pokeballs, she opened them both. Razel and the yanma both appeared, semi-conscious and sprawled on the ground. She lost no time in administering the two gifts. Razel was the first to speak as he regained awareness.
<Ow...did we win? Where's the little pidgey? >
"You see...after she fainted, I caught her, but...a trainer came and stole the pokeball."
<What? Why didn't you stop him?>
<That's my fault.>
That was Yanma, still sitting on the ground where he had appeared.
"Yanma, it wasn't your fault. That charizard was out of your league."
The bug pokemon didn't reply.
"Well, I suppose there's nothing to do but continue forward."
With that, Nathara stood, and sent a final glance to the sky where the mysterious pair had flown away. Yanma jumped into the air and began to hover, while Razel stood without his usual enthusiasm. Silently, they continued down the path. Several minutes later, she broke the silence.
"Yanma, I think I've found a name for you."
<Yeah? What is it?>
"Tego."
There was another short silence.
<I like it.>
The threesome continued on, a new sense of unity underlying the cloud of solemness.

All was silent, except for a few distant calls of pokemon. They'd all seen the terrifying Charizard and kept their distance from him, either hiding in their homes for a while or diving or whatever pokemon did to escape notice.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by a lone Nincada that was scurrying on the ground as Nathara continued up the route. The little bug, though he was in the open, paid no mind to the trainer nor her pokemon and was busily digging a hole, hissing anxiously. It seemed he was in a rush to do something. However, his efforts at digging a hole in the hard road were futile. Even worse, the bug didn't even notice, too much in fright of something to care.

They had been traveling for several minutes when Razel suddenly spoke up.
<Hey, look over there.>
He pointed with his claw to a frightened-looking nincada that was scratching futilely at the dusty ground. It seemed to be trying to escape something. Warily, she approached the bug type.
"Excuse me, but is there something I can help you with?"
Not only did she want to help this distressed pokemon, but she also wanted to know the source of this panic. If there was something dangerous nearby, Nathara thought she should know.

At the sound of Razel's voice, the Nincada froze with intense fear. He looked around frantically until he spotted the two approaching him, one of them enormously tall. At the sound of the gargantuan person's voice, the metallic bug ducked and cowered beneath his two claws, shivering with fright. Fear caused him to be unable to speak.
It seemed there was something beneath him that he was sitting on, as well - his body was arched over it in his attempt to hide the thing from other's eyes. However, it was highly visible and easy to spot.

Nathara noticed that the nincada seemed to be sitting on something. The object wasn't really identifiable, being mostly obscured by the pokemon trying to hide it. A thought dawned on her, and she gave it an amused smile.
"Are you trying to hide something?"
Tego gave a buzz-like laugh.
<It sure looks that way.>
"Don't worry, I won't try to steal it."
<Unless it's something valuable.>, joked Razel.
Nathara took a few steps to the side, trying to get a better look of the object. She was genuinely curious.

Nincada did not speak, continuing to shake in a vibrating manner as he cowered underneath his claws. He peeked out a little bit at the two who'd chosen to interact with him, but didn't dare to move nor make an answer at their questions and comments.
His back leg moved a little bit to the side, and the steel bug almost gave a shriek at the amount of pain it caused him. There on his belly, if one looked closer, was a splinter jammed right into his flesh. Such a deep wound could only have been caused during a Pokémon battle - if the Nincada had slammed into a tree, during.

Realizing that their comments weren't helping to make the situation any better, Razel and Tego slipped into silence. Nathara, on the other hand, having been examining the nincada and his object closely, spoke up again.
"It looks like someone did a number on you. Is this from a battle?"
She didn't dare step any closer, for fear of scaring the wounded Pokémon away. Instead, she took out one of her potions.
"Would you like this? It won't completely heal you, but it'll help the pain at least."

The Nincada said nothing as the potion was offered. It was tempted by the offer but what if the trainer was lying? What if it would make the pain worse? The worse case scenarios where the only thing running through the pokemon's head, making it shake more.
Slowly the pokemon took step back, trembling legs propelling it at snail's pace backwards. Each step caused pain enough to make it wince but it didn't stop, hoping to get away from the trainer with no more than the injury that it had started with.
Nincada is attempting to leave. Interfere?
