It was legitimately too much to ask for Eden to be both helpful and polite about it. They were just about willing to waste their very precious time to assist a complete stranger on something with no benefit to themself or any promised reward, when they absolutely could have just walked past and done nothing at all. The gesture itself should have outweighed any attitude they might display, since with all of their limited 'niceness' already being used up, they couldn't possibly need to do more than that for the person they were helping. The owner of the stall apparently thought differently though, and Eden scowled back at the ungrateful arse of a woman as she had the audacity to wish harm on her current saviour. "Oh, you know what? Virgilia, stop, let the bird get her, we're not helping her anymore." Fortunately for the lady in question, the Purrloin had already begun her attack, and by the time Eden's words reached her ears, the bird had been pinned to the ground and the claws raked effectively across its wings. She responded all the same though, trotting back over to Eden to sit beside them and lick at her claws that had been used more aggressively than usual. "Look at you being just too good," Eden replied, unable to be annoyed about the victory. Besides, they had another idea anyway. Taking a step towards where the remaining Spearow huddled on the rooftops, Eden pointed in the direction that the old lady had begun to flee in and raised their voice so that the wild Pokemon could hear them - though truthfully they had no idea if they'd be understood anyway. "She went that way, go for it. We won't interfere, we're out." In a perfect world, they'd have had some kind of food item on them that they could throw in the direction of the wicked witch of the stall too, but maybe that would have been going a bit far. Eden was just thoroughly fed up with the people of this town asking for their help and then being so goddamn ungrateful for it. Their Skitty and Purrloin trotted up behind them as they began to trudge off down the street again, ears perking as Eden grumbled to them, "That's it, I'm not helping anyone else in this stupid town."
I know Glameow fainted but does Skitty get anything for participating?

Just as Eden allowed the other Spearow to attack the old lady again, the city was filled with the loud sound of wings beating into the sunset and angry cawing. Despite knowing it was Eden who had defeated their fallen comrade, the furious flock sought vengeance for the intrusion into their territory. With sharp eyes filled with wrath, they chased after the woman, leaving behind a trail of brown and black feathers. Some onlookers observed the ordeal and laughed. " Hah! The old bat had that one coming!" one of them remarked, giggling. And that was that. The people of Cherrygrove CLEARLY had zero appreciation for hardworking trainers attending to their whims and problems. However, the city was not solely occupied by ungrateful humans. Eden could hear the slimy steps of a Quagsire approaching, slap slap slap. The Pokémon walked up to her, staring with its dopey expression, its two brain cells hardly ever connecting. A spark of recognition glinted within its eye. " Ohhhhh... Pretty humaaan!" it groaned slowly, cheerfully. Drawing closer, it cuddled up to the trainer; it must have been playing in mud recently, as with every move, it spread more filth around. " Humaaan preeetty! Preseeeent, yeees," it gurgled, reaching out with its fins, holding a surprisingly clean set of items, shiny Great Ball, Poke Ball and a Friend Ball. " Preeetty like huuuuman!" Seems like not all is bad in Cherrygrove... Eden (unwittingly) made a new friend and was rewarded with Great Ball, Poke Ball and Friend Ball for just existing! What a nice Quagsire!

Through their many ordeals, Eden had been making their way further and further towards the outskirts of town, not yet entirely committing to venturing out into another route and onto an entirely new destination. The trek here had been difficult enough, and since arriving in Cherrygrove, the opponents that they had faced had not been easy to defeat. Granted, swapping half of their team out had probably not been the most tactical decision to combat that, but they had wanted their kitties with them the whole time and it had merely been unfortunate circumstances that had kept them apart until now. Besides, Bulbasaur and Sentret were still with them, and both had proven themselves in battle already. Eden had simply avoided using them in the last battle to give her kitties a chance to shine. With the team healed again, Eden had gotten as far as the very edge of town this time with all three cats out beside them, still skirting around the earliest section of road, not wanting to move into dangerous territory unprepared... not that the town had been entirely safe so far either. Still, this brought them close enough to a resident that they had not interacted with, one whose footsteps they did not immediately clock. It wasn't until the groaning sound reached their ears and they felt something press against them that they realised such a large Pokemon was beside them. They even briefly smiled at the affectionate creature... until they saw the mud. "Oh no!" they inevitably cried. "Oh no, oh no!" Clear distress to those familiar with their tones, but surprisingly similar to the Quagsire's groans all the same. Perhaps the creature would hear an acknowledgement in their whining, an effort to speak its language and to connect on a deeper level, and not simply a vain young person agonising over the state of their clothes. They didn't even notice the gifts initially, with Valeria the Skitty acknowledging them first, batting at one with a paw before picking another up in her mouth, mewling a thank you to the happy creature as she bounced off with what she perceived to be a new toy. Volumnia the Glameow approached a moment later, a little cautious but clearly looking for a ball to play with as well, collecting both of the other Pokeballs from the Quagsire with a nod of thanks herself as she deliberated over which one she wanted the most out of the pair. And all the while, Eden was wailing and swiping desperately at the mud on their skirt and wishing yet again that they could just go back home.
I'm so sorry lil Quagsire, I am very grateful even if Eden is too distracted to say it themself haha <3

As Volumnia went for the Great Ball, she'd find that it disappeared from right in front of her, something darting by like a shadow! The ball that had been reserved for last had been taken right when everyone was the most off guard! As they would trace the shadow to its source, they'd witness the scourge whom had assaulted them and taken their gift from them! How dare this evil being, what could ever do su- You have encountered a Level 9 Bidoof!Egad, it was the terror of novice trainers everywhere, the terrifying Bidoof now stood before them on a rock taller than Eden, the sun beating behind them as they stood there with an arrogant scowl, letting out a 'DOOF!' [ 'These should not belong to outsiders such as you! Quagsire may be nice, but I don't care! I will stop you! HEE HOOOO!'] The Bidoof then put the great ball in its mouth and would turn around, kick with a hind leg twice, let out a sound of flatulence, before leaping down laughing with an unwarranted ego, thinking it had accomplished something special. ============================================================ [OOC note: You still have the great ball OOCly and can recover it ICly whenever if you wish to use it to catch Bidoof.] Encounter Rolls

Virgilia the Purloin was the first to acknowledge the intruder. While she hadn't been in a rush to choose her gift from the blue Pokemon, willing to let Volumnia dither over her choice first and take what was left, she was not at all okay with a thief stealing it away from her. She let out a hiss of anger as the Bidoof took the ball, batting a paw at the Glameow that she blamed for its loss. A brief hissing match between the two ended in the Glameow reluctantly backing down and chasing after the Pokemon that had stolen the Great Ball away, leaving Virgilia with the Friend Ball that had been left behind, and an oblivious Skitty still playing with the Pokeball itself. Eden meanwhile was thoroughly distracted trying to get the mud from their clothes. They had rushed off towards the Pokemon Centre they had left not long ago, dashing straight into the bathrooms and towards the sinks, leaving their trio of kittens to fend for themselves - though quite frankly, they were probably better off like that than with their fashion conscious trainer for guidance. Eden hadn't even noticed the gift of the three balls after all, and would have just stormed away from the scene without collecting them if it had not been for the desperate need to fix their clothing first. They'd realise that they'd forgotten their own Pokemon shortly, and would surely go back to collect them later, but obviously there was a far more pressing matter to attend to before that. The Glameow traced the thief and gave a warning growl, hoping to be able to just take the ball back without incident. That didn't seem likely though, so as it started to retreat, she followed much quicker this time, launching a Fake Out at the Bidoof in an attempt to halt its escape.

Bidoof was rather gassy today but that wouldn’t stop it’s pilfering of things that didn’t belong to trainers. They were loud and rude, always stalking their way around an area as though they owned everything around them. It was pretty presumptuous of them to want to just take all these nice gifts that Quagsire brought, too, without first making sure they weren’t the property of the forest. Another loud bubble gut symphony of sounds slithered loudly from Bidoof’s rump as it waddled off, taking each step in stride. “Next time remember who told you NO!” It laughed. “Twas I, mighty Bidoof, stopper of weak trainers!”Volumnia rushed out of seemingly nowhere and slapped Bidoof against the sides of its face. It jumped back, dark charcoal irises widening in alarm. That really hurt! Who dare told this weakling they were allowed to lay a claw on the mighty Bidoof!? “Surely you just didn’t realize who I was. Right?!” It spun around and batted its eyes. Another breath of rank air escaped its derriere and by now there was no way that anyone could just easily ignore the smell. Oh…that Pecha Berry it had earlier definitely wasn’t settling on its stomach right. Ufff! Uggghh! It was gonna… No! It couldn’t! Bidoof backed against the rock and pushed its head to the side to try and hide its face as waves of nauseus washed over its body. Momma always said leave the fallen berries that had strange white fluffy growths on them alone. Bidoof should have listened…oh. Owww…why didn’t it listen?! “Oh I didn’t realize my stomach was going through a world war…aahhh! Heh. Well, no matter! I’ll let you have it if you try that again, novice! You’re not ranked high enough to hold council with me today!” Bidoof insisted.

With Eden away, the cats would play, and Skitty and Purrloin were having a great time with the two new toys they had received. The more playful Skitty was batting hers around and chasing after it each time he little tap sent it rolling too far out of her reach like a kitten with a ball of twine. The Purrloin on the other hand was a little more sensible, holding the ball covetously under her paw, daring anyone to try and take it from her as she stared in the direction that Glameow had run off in. As Skitty's ball nudged into her own, she looked down in time to see the other cat skidding to a halt to avoid crashing into her and yet managing to all the same. The balls were briefly forgotten as Purrloin hissed and chased after the Skitty in response, a new game with a little more emotion involved taking over from the previous one. Meanwhile, Volumnia was getting to work retrieving the stolen gift. Her surprise entrance had won her some time it seemed, and she did consider grabbing the ball and running back to the others with it while she had the opportunity to do so... but surely the creature would just follow her back again, and potentially try and snatch the other two balls away in the process? Hmmm... it had threatened to attack if she pounced again and she hadn't done too well in the last battle, so wouldn't it be worse to get herself knocked out? Then the Bidoof would definitely go back and take the other balls, and she wouldn't even be able to help... Hmmmm... As another issue became more pressing, she decided on a compromise. Her long, curved tail was turned towards the Bidoof and wafted back and forth, clearing the air between them and acting as a warning or perhaps a threat while not being a direct attack. She hadn't tried anything again as the Bidoof had warned her not to, but she hadn't remained passive either. See? The perfect compromise.

The bubbling continued. It boiled underneath the surface, causing chaos inside of the furry beaver’s stomach. Bidoof wrapped both of its paws around its midsection and rolled about on the floor, eyes closed tightly while it struggled through its own inner turmoil. Those berries were just so delicious looking, though, how could it have said no?! “You need to…OOF!” Bidoof immediately covered its mouth with one if its paws and fought back the urge to upchuck. “…to leave…and let me keep my new toy!” It hissed with a shake of its head. Volumnia wasn’t budging, though. She seemed determined to get her toy back from Bidoof. The thick beaver’s beady black eyes opened as soon as it felt something strange and furry slapping it in the face. Hey! Cut it out! That wasn’t very nice to someone who was currently terminally ill! It rolled back onto its feet and searched around only to spot Volumnia trying to ‘clear the air’ between them. “Oaaff! Ugghh!” It pressed its belly to the ground as another wave of pain surged from its belly up its throat, only to be pushed back down again. “I’ll teach you to mess with sick Pokemon like me!” Bidoof huffed angrily. It lowered its head like a battering ram and raced towards Volumnia, striking her in her shoulder. The hit definitely wasn’t its strongest hit it could muster, but it was all that Bidoof could give in the moment. Why wasn’t this strange looking cat taking the hint? Just scram already, and let it play with the prizes that Quagsire was just handing out to anyone it saw! Bidoof had more right to them anyhow, having hatched on this route and grown up its whole life here. What claim did Volumnia or her trainer have to any of it?

Hmph. Volumnia would like to argue that she hadn't 'tried that again' and was attacked anyway, and that was entirely unfair. Granted, that was entirely based on the assumption that 'that' referred to her Fake Out attack and not just to any battle move at all, and that was an assumption that she had made alone with no clarification, but still, she had decided it was unfair. So unfair in fact, that she let out a yowl of offence (and a little bit of pain) as she was crashed into by the nasty thief she had chased down here. She couldn't really be offended that it had retaliated, but then she had been raised entirely by Eden, a trainer who also thought they had never done anything in their life wrong ever and did not deserve to face repurcussions for their actions... so one coudl see where Volumnia got that attitude from. The sound had traveled back to where the other two cats were chasing, Purrloin stopping to twitch her ear towards the sound. Volumnia had been gone for quite a while if she really was only collecting a ball... When Skitty stopped too and looked back in concern, Purrloin paused to hide the other two Pokeballs carefully beneath a bush before darting off towards where the Glameow had gone to, with Skitty hopping along behind her. Meanwhile, Glameow was being forced into action, and with the Bidoof still near enough to face her wrath, she lashed out with sharp claws in the other Pokemon's direction. She was not oblivious to quite how strong it was, and quite how much its first attack had hurt, but she was very stubborn and would not back down and let it win. Of course, when her two companions popped their heads through the foliage to see her now locked in battle, she couldn't help but hiss at the pair of them for showing up just a few moments too late to be particularly useful this round.

The Bidoof danced around the battlefield, laughing ever so mischieviously at the cat that had been fighting it! For it was Bidoof, annoyer of Pokemon! When the Cat Pokemon approached, it could only look with shock as it got close and scratched them on its face with quite the impressive force. Bidoof let out a yelp of pain. In response, after shaking its head to cope with the pain, it stopped, thinking. It let out a mischievious chortle as it turned around and kicked it's hind leg twice once more, shaking its rear a bit. [ "Lissen here, come back when you gotta better 'nose' for battle, ey?"] The Bidoof responded as it let out a rather loud flatulence enfused with great power into the air and Glameow's face. The return of the poot from before, but this time closer and more personal! [ "Maybe you'll get a whiff of victory then!

The scratch landed with quite some force, the enraged cat Pokemon holding nothing back in her fight to reclaim her prize. Actually, by this point of the battle, she had almost forgotten what she was fighting for, too focused on defending her honour against the crass behaviour of this Bidoof. The idea of simply snatching the ball away and returning with it had entirely gone from her mind by this point - she would defeat this creature with the help of her comrades now standing ready behind her. Well, Purrloin was ready. Skitty seemed distracted by every new leaf she saw in this little green space they'd all trotted off to, but if she was needed, she would be ready to bound into action. She would wait for her cue though - or more accurately, a cue would remind her what she was really here for. Purrloin on the other hand was already meowing at her companion, eager to be tagged in to do her part, only to be hissed at by Glameow who was still engaged in the battle. Not yet. She didn't want to tap out just yet. Just one more hit, let her get one more hit in and then, then she'd be ready to switch... probably. Hmph. Volumnia had never been good at understanding her own limits. But fine, if she wanted to get herself knocked out for the sake of her pride then so be it. With her warning hiss given and Purrloin sticking her nose up pointedly at the sound, Volumnia the Glameow returned her attention to the battle, ignoring the jibes and launching straight into another attack with her already extended claws.
