A piercing, echoing 'CAW' cracked through the entirety of the Viridian Forest.

Kuroi, a young and sleek trainer walked slowly through the dusky forest, hands resting calmly inside the pockets of his rich-looking black travelling coat. His half-lidded silver gaze glanced upwards for a split second, where an abnormally large and dark Honchkrow rested calmly in the trees. He winked once, a smirk forming on his pale lips, right before the Honchkrow suddenly blasted from it's tree, launching an assortment of Weedles, Caterpies, and Butterflies from their nests.

"Froakie, Ice Barrage." he said calmly, watching as the frenzied Pokemon lunged at his form, an analytical twinkle in his irises. In a flash of black, a standard Froakie, sleeker and leaner then most, blasted from it's Luxury Ball, fists glowing an icy hue. The Pokemon jabbed the first butterfly in the torso, fainting it instantly, before turning around and launching a barrage of blurringly fast jabs and punches at the rest of the bug Pokemon. Within minutes, they were knocked out, all except one Beedrill.

[b]"BEEDRILL!"[/b] It screeched, charging the recovering frog. Froakie winced, pulling up it's fists to block the Fury Attack.

Kuroi smirked. 

In another flash of black dust, a Houndoom blasted from it's Poke-Ball, flying through the sky and tackling the Beedrill out of the air. Snarling silently and pinning the bee down, the Houndoom opened it's large maw, releasing a torrent of crimson-hot flames that completely incinerated the bug Pokemon.

"Good work, everyone..." Kuroi clapped softly. Froakie smiled, before leaping onto it's trainers shoulder as the tall young man began walking further into the forest, towards Viridian. They had a parcel to pick up, after all, before they went to Pewter once more. Houndoom slinked swiftly beside him, while Honchkrow circled the air above the forest, keeping an eye out for any unnatural danger.
