Liz followed the path back to Zuerest, which was so far faster than going the way she had originally. Her eyes constantly searching both sides of the peaceful route, ever vigilant for Pokemon. Atop one grassy hill she spotted a figure bobbing up and down. It had a long slender body, Liz produced her Pokedex and it informed her the Pokemon was a Sentret. She would like to have that to her team, it's slick body made it look very fast.
"Alright Hephaestus, let's go buddy, use ember!!" Hephaestus popped out of the ball flames already building in his mouth.
Hephaestus's embers launch toward the timid little Sentret. She closes her eyes and rolls into a ball (Defense Curl). Unfortuantly Chimchar's Embers were far too powerful for the little creature. She fainted. Two seconds later, a couple of her Sentret buddies swung by and picked her up. Two more seconds and they were gone as quick as they came.
Well, this is another kind of bad luck eh? Chimchar lowers the Sentret's Power by 7. Considering her level was only 7 to begin with, this means she faints.
The poor little Sentret fainted under the power of Hephaestus's ember. Liz was somewhat disappointed, but there wasn't anything she could do. She recalled the little monkey pokemon and continued on her way, eventually she entered the forest alerting her to the fact she was about halfway home, it was at this moment she wished Murkrow could fly her to make it faster and easier.
"At least this will all be worth it in the end!! I will unlock a new ability and be that much stronger for it!!"

Night was beginning to fall as Liz reached the forest, a familiar scene for her indeed. From the shadows of the forest came some rainbow looking leaves (Magical Leaf). They stuck into the ground in front of her. If that would have connected, that would have been bad. If she looked carefully, she could see the distinct shape of a teenage Bayleef. The Bayleef smile was wide, mischevious, and down right naughty. She was an intimidating foe indeed.
Uh, oh. You've got company. This naughty Bayleef is just looking for a fight. Unfortunantly for you, she is level 26.
Rainbow colored leaves fell just short of Liz, she looked up and saw an aggressive Bayleaf in the shadows. Liz had a wicked smile on her face, her entire team was structured towards fighting Grass types, despite an obvious weaker team her advantage should play a factor.
"Arachne, let's go, show this Bayleaf how your infestation looks!!" The spider popped out it's pincers moving itching for a fight!!

Bayleef laughed at the tiny spider Pokemon that was before her. She knew that the little thing had a type advantage, but it looked so weak. Bayleef looked forward to squashing the little bug, surely a Tackle would get the job done.
But things did not go her way. The Infestation that Arachne used targeted her vital points. And with such a tiny target, she completely missed hitting the bug as well.
Arachne completely took the Bayleaf by complete surprise. Infestation was such a strong hit that Liz knew not to push her luck and lose out on an other pokemon. She reached and grabbed the new blue ball she had just purchased.
"Alright you,with you on my team we will be overwhelming, join me on my journey to be the best, we will beat everyone in our path!!" With that the great ball was thrown into the air with a beeline to Bayleaf's head. The ball sucked up the starter and now Liz waited with baited breath of a capture.
On the other side of the bushes, a wild Smeargle was hard at work on a master piece. Like the Smeargle Rin had already captured, this Smeargle this one was painting on a rock looking out to the ocean. This Smeargle's tale was white. Her job in this Smeargle mural was apparently to paint the stars and reflections off the water.
Then, Smeargle sensed Rin's presence. She turned her head to look. She dismissed the human with a sassy head turn, back to her artwork. If that human had the nerve to interrupt her, she would teach them a lesson!
You've ran accross another Smeargle. This one is level 14. She has two open Sketch spots.

The Great Ball's blue beam of light took in the Bayleef. She wasn't happy with this at all....
One shake.... .......Two shake..... .............Three shake........
Ding!
Despite her struggles, she couldn't escape. Liz had caught herself a Bayleef!
The great ball dinged it's success, and Liz ran over to collect the ball. She smiled and placed the Bayleef with her other pokeballs, she than called back Arachne.
"You did an amazing job Arachne, though I think our new friend Chloris will be a bit of a hand full. We will get by, with her on our team now." Liz looked to the setting sun, she decided to press on and get closer to Zuerest Town before buckling down for the night again.

The sun dropped quickly. The forest trees weren't helping either. It was indeed night time once again.
Soon Liz would come across two Hoothoot fighting over a berry. Then one Hoothoot used Confusion on the other. The other was stunned for a moment, while the caster grabbed up the berry and began to flee. The effected Hoothoot came to its senses in time to give chase to its rival.
Upon closer inspection, Liz would find two ripe berries upon the bush the Hoothoot were fighting near (if her eye is keen enough to notice).
The Hoothoot have left behind two ripe Tanga Berries. Will Liz find them?
Liz walked through the woods, the sun long gone with it's light. It was getting hard to see, though she heard a battle going on, upon closer inspection two Hoothoot where fighting over a berry. One got annoyed and used confusion on the other. After they took off Liz decided it would be best to rest up for the night here and gathered some firewood. Hephaestus was released and used his ember to light a small fire for her to eat with, thankful she stocked up at the Pokemon center. She called out her other pokemon to share in the food with her. Chloris was unhappy at first about being caught and stayed off to the side, while laying there she caught whiff of something delicious and walked over to the scent. There she found the two Tanga berries left by the Hoothoot and ate them up. Unaware of her Bayleefs bad behavior Liz called it a night and called everyone back to their balls and rolled over and went to sleep.

If Liz was a berry collector, she would be one lucky berry collector! In the bush closest to her, two Iapapa Berries were about to reach full ripeness. Yummy, yummy. If she was lucky, she'd find them after she woke.
Liz woke in the morning feeling fully refreshed and rejuvenated. As she gathered her belongings she looked over and saw a bush with two Iapapa berries, she plucked them right up and dropped then in her bag, if she made haste she could be back in Sunsay by night fall, maybe Rin would be waiting for her to get there. After she was finished she turned back towards home and went off again, eyes ever present to the dangers around her.

It was getting late when Liz woke up, late for Hoothoot that is. Out of a nearby tree, a wild Hoothoot came tumbling. He should have picked a better place to rest his eyes. The fall definitaly woke him up however. Unsure of his surroundings, he looked around quickly. There was a human in front of him; she must have made him fall. He would not stand for being bullied like that. He puffed up his chest in bold defiance, ready to battle.
It looks like you've stumbled across a bold Hoothoot, and he thinks Liz is the reason why he fell. Uh, oh. By the way, he is level 19.
A little Hoothoot hopped up to Liz, chittering angrily at her. It hopped around on it's foot obviously furious for some reason. She would of laughed if it wasn't looking like this would be a battle she didn't really have time for, but she was a trainer and didn't have Hoothoot so battle she must.
"Phoniks, let's get you some training, show me a good Peck!!" The Murkrow came out ready for a battle.

Phoniks' beak lit up as she prepared her peck attack. Hoothoot would not be out done. He closed his eyes for a moment to focus. Then a purple light started to glow over the top of his head. When he was ready, he charged straight toward his enemy with a powerful Zen Headbutt!
Phoniks took a glancing blow from the Hoothoots Zen Headbutt, but she recovered quick enough. She took to the air once more as Liz called for an other peck.
"Come on girl, show that bird who has the better beak!! We will take this Hoothoot down. I believe in you!!" She called to Phoniks, which spurned her onward into her battle.

Liz's words of encouragement were well heard as her Murkrow flew in towards the opponent. Unfortunately, Hoothoot wasn't ready to give up either, not by a long shot. Before Murkrow could get in close, Hoothoot let out a devastating Echoed Voice! The sound waves were visible, in that all the grass and tree branches in the area shook violently.
"It's ok dear, you will do better next time. Now let's head off to the professors lab, to see about this crystal!!" Liz once again was back on the path heading towards Zuerest. It was quiet this morning, she could hear pokemon off in the distance chittering back and forth. She even saw what appeared to be a flock of Pidgey flying high, perhaps they were migrating home. Before she knew it, Liz had returned home. She couldn't believe it had been two days since she has left the town, not enough time for things to change much. Within moments she had made it to the professors lab walking right in and up to the professor.
"Hello professor, here is that Z-Crystal you wanted to see?? What can you tell me about it??" She asked as she plopped the stone on the Professors desk.
