[color=yellow]"It's a Chingling,"[/color] Cici replied, holding Cadence in one arm, reaching down to the newly occupied Pokeball at her belt with the other in a protective gesture. [color=yellow]"A pair of Purrloins were bullying it just now. It's a Psychic type, so it couldn't fight back against Dark types."[/color]

After a quick glance over her shoulder to make sure the Purrloins hadn't come to - and no ghosts were sneaking around - she sped up her pace slightly despite her aching muscles. She didn't want to think about the extent of the damage Dark types could do to a Chingling. As the musician crunched her way through the tall grass, Dulcet, still perched on her head, turned this way and that to look out for any hostile Pokemon.

Cici made a mental note that, during her travels, it would be a good idea to have at least one Pokemon out at all times.

As she walked, Ella took another look up at the sky, frowning. Beside her, Jumbles floated, lighting the way.

[color=hotpink]"What kind of Pokemon do you think could cause this?"[/color] she asked Leisy. Before her friend could answer, Jumbles let out a squeak of surprise, pointing one of his tendrils downwards. A short distance away, a Stunky stood, staring directly at Jumbles, claws scratching on the ground as it jumped up and down. "Stun! Stunky!" it cried, challenging the Inkay.

Jumbles turned to Ella, who thought it over. [color=hotpink]"Looks like that cute little critter wants to fight... You ok with another quick training session?"[/color] Bobbing in the air, Jumbles drifted forward. Ella chewed at her fingernails. Psychic-type attacks would be completely ineffective, and Dark-type ones wouldn't do much damage, but... Glancing at her Pokedex, she came up with a plan.

[color=hotpink]"Use Pluck!"[/color] she said. Jumbles floated at the wild Pokemon, beak open - only to be hit by a spray of green corrosive liquid. With a gasp, Ella rummaged for the Inkay's Pokeball. He'd shaken off the attack, but the trainer knew all too well from her own Pokemon about Acid Spray's defense lowering effect.

Jumbles, undeterred, jabbed with his beak at the Stunky, who retaliated with another burst of acid. [i]This was a bad idea,[/i] Ella thought as she held out the Pokeball. Instead of returning Jumbles, she lowered her arm, eyes widening. [color=hotpink]"Huh?"[/color] The Stunky's second attack had barely done anything. Acid Spray usually increased vulnerability, but for some reason, it seemed to have had the opposite effect on the Inkay.

The Stunky, appearing to realise its mistake, backed away. [color=hotpink]"You can win this! Use Peck!"[/color] Ella called to Jumbles, who flew at the wild Pokemon once more. Slumping, the Stunky grumbled, as if reluctantly admitting defeat.

Ella wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by. Taking an empty Pokeball, she threw it, watching a red light envelop the Stunky and pull it inside. As it rocked, she tensed. Would the Stunky be mad at her for defeating it, and break free? After a few seconds, though, the Pokeball stopped moving.

The pink-haired girl simply walked over to it, no skipping or cheering this time, and picked it up. [color=hotpink]"I won't be long. Just gotta get these two healed up,"[/color] she said, returning Jumbles and hurrying back round the corner to the Pokecentre, hoping Leisy wouldn't be too worried about her lack of enthusiasm. 

[color=hotpink]"I hope I can be the trainer you deserve,"[/color] Ella whispered, cupping the capsule once the old man had handed both Pokemon over to her. Letting Jumbles out again, she rushed back.

[color=hotpink]"Well, that's almost a full team,"[/color] she said to Leisy, trying to sound positive. [color=hotpink]"Now to get food... and ask around about any sightings of certain Pokemon on these Green Days."[/color] The residents of Stillwater would hopefully be able to give them some hints about what to look out for.
