Thorn had just arrived not too long ago from the well known Blackthorn city.Her fingers delicately fondled a piece of paper that had been in her backpack from her mother. A small note written in black fountain pen in a script font, it was something her mother had mastered, and to be fairly honest something she was more than jealous of. To have handwriting so fancy and fine was a skill she did not have. She opened her letter one more time, her blue eyes scanning each letter delicately.
Good luck on your new journey, we look forward to seeing you once again in Blackthorn, don't forget to call us when you can. Enjoy new friends, new stories, new adventures
~ Mom
Thorn sighed before opening the doors of the laboratory where she would receive her new partner. She wasn't necessarily keen on the idea of starting anew...she certainly wouldn't be getting her espeon back anytime soon. She wrinkled her nose with disgust as she entered the building. Her footsteps echoed as she walked down a long hall where three Pokeballs sat in a row. She put her finger to her lip contemplating which to choose. She knew she wouldn't be choosing Charmander. She wasn't a fan of fire types, which went back to a dark time when her espeon was taken from her. Her eyes shifted from Bulbasaur to Squirtle, both well known Pokemon. "Here goes nothing I guess...." She reached out and grabbed a pokeball containing Squirtle. Holding it out the red beam hit the floor and the small pokemon shook its body, clearly tired from being trapped inside.
"SO umm hey I'm Thorn....your new trainer...I like this show and I'm going to name you after my favorite character. Is Leo okay?"
She watched as Squirtle seemed to nod eagerly running up to his new trainer. Thorn picked up the pokemon walking out of the lab. A gust of wind tussled her hair and suddenly she thought that perhaps this wouldn't be too bad. She had a fresh start, it was something she needed. Back home was just too stressful. One day though she would challenge Claire, not only someone who mentored her, but taught her many things.
"Lets go Leo we need to train work hard I need to get back to Blackthorn ya see I have family there...you and I together though will do just fine"
Thorn warmed up to the idea of having Leo for a new partner granted Leo would never replace Viola her espeon, but he was a close 2nd. Today her new adventure began as she went off running towards her new goal, to reach Blackthorn, and do what she did best, and that was be a pokemon trainer.

No sooner had Thorn and her new partner began their journey to reach Blackthorn had there been a sudden shift in the weather above which started to unfold. A number of storm clouds rolling in, it wasn't long before sizeable chunks of hail began to plummet down to the earth below. The hailstones from above seemed to grow in intensity as they hurled down with increased number. Some of the hailstones now seemed as large as Pokeballs and it was surely a bad time to be about adventuring in the wild where shelter wasn't as plentiful. Although the tall standing trees dotted along the route provided some ample cover, it was going to be a detriment to progress if the path was remapped to following the row of trees along. One Pokemon however, refused to do such an act. Deciding to take its chances out in the open instead despite the probable prospect of being battered into a bloody pulp, a blinding purple blur sped on with a hop, roll and dash between all the falling hail. As if it had some sort of sixth sense, this Rattata amazingly dodged every large hailstone that plummeted down into the ground. This Rattata seemed to be a rodent with a purpose and it wasn't going to let any freak Summer weather impede its progress. Sadly, there was but one obstacle it couldn't merely sidestep to move onwards. Skidding to a halt, it noticed the presence of Thorn up ahead and realised that she was obviously a trainer. Leering his eyes a little, the agile little rat pondered how it would get by. Having remained too long on the same spot, it realised its error. Hopping forward, it literally dodged by the skin of its teeth a rather large, bludgeoning hailstone. Now even closer to Thorn and her Pokemon, it realised that a battle was probably the only way it was going to get past. Rearing its teeth with a nasty little bite, it obviously had some skills as a fighter and not just as a runner. Perhaps this would be a good first test in this new adventure. Encounter
 A quick footed Rattata (Level 5) has appeared! Please select a Pokemon for battle or flee. Hail will be in effect.
OOC: Nice first post, really like how you factored in Thorn's past there. Seems like she's got some goals in making it towards Blackthorn too. I'll be watching this adventure.

Thorn looked the sky as she noticed it starting to get dark. She knew she had traveled a few miles and it was in the middle of the route. She let out a frustrated sigh, as if the situation couldn’t get any worse. It was like great arceus was about to challenge her thought process because it started to hail.
”You have GOT to be kidding me.”
It was about the same distance to cherrygrove city as it was to new bark town, so she decided to wait it out. As the hail chunks grew in size, she instinctively picked her squirtle up in her arms and ran for coverage. It was dangerous, and there was no way she was about to put herself in harms way or her new partner. The Pokémon center was a good distance, and any injury would be dangerous to them and her.
The chunks fell even larger, shattering as it hit the ground she pressed up against the tree towering over her squirtle to protect it. She wasn’t one for keeping Pokemon in their Pokeballs, after all, she was alone and enjoyed the company.
”Its okay, you will be safe with me.” She smiled warmly, and the two locked eyes. She noticed Squirtle gave her a trusting nod. Her hands gently caressed his shell and she laughed. ”Crappy circumstances huh?”
Thorn heard a rustling behind her and spotted a rattata dodging hail cubes with amazing speed. ”Get out of the Hail Rattata its dangerous!!!!”
The Pokémon didn’t seem to hear her through the shattering noise, instinctively Thorn ran towards the Pokémon at least her tree was somewhat safe and she would rather get hit with the hail than see Pokemon hit with it. As she ran forward, the Pokemon didn’t seem to notice her, and as it did it bared its teeth wanting to battle.
”I don’t mean you any harm Rattata I just want to help you look at the hail! Battling isn’t safe!!” As if someone heard a comment, a giant hail shard crashed near her feet making the trainer step backwards.
She curled her lip in frustration but soon her Squirtle stepped forward, it’s tail perked and in a battle stance.
”Squirtle squirt… urtle Squirtle!”
”Well okay Leo if you insist…alright Squirtle Battle time!! Let’s go Tackle attack!”
ooc: Shes a fun character  Even more so with companions

Rattata kept its angry stare at the new Pokemon trainer, every chance it could get it showed its teeth in anger as Thorn stepped forward. But it couldn't keep it up for long before it quickly had to dodge other hailstone flying at it's feet. As the trainer moved forward to protect it. It started to make warning noise that it would attack if she wasn't careful. After the fail attempted to save to Rattata, Thorn had given the attack command. Lucky for the Rattata it had quicker reaction time the turtle Pokemon. The small purple rodent Pokemon, charged at speed at the Squirtle and it hits! The Squirtle looks wobbled a bit from the hit but not before charging right back at the purple rat forcing him to dig his claws into the wet mud below to stay up right. Pokemon Battle

Thorn was taken a back by by the rattatas aggression. The pokemon was certainly a battler. It reminded her of her team from when she traveled 8 years ago. When she first stepped off the boat in Hoenn with her eevee, the very first Pokemon she encountered was a ruffled Poochyena. Just as strong, just as powerful. Her hand grasped the charm around her necklace for good luck, her blue eyes filled with determination. Alright She wanted this Pokemon, and she would get it if it was the last thing she did.
”Alright then you are really strong and battle ready I like your style. “
She looked around seeing if she could use any of the surrounding trees to boost squirtles tackle, but without the use of rapid spin which her squirtle didn’t know yet that certainly wouldn’t help. That left the pinball style strategy out of the loop. Pure Power it was.
”Okay Leo Focus, Rattata is quick, and strong. Watch his movement and lets time a very powerful Tackle. Tackle attack go!”

The Rattata eyed the trainer with an angry glare, then looked on at the Squirtle who was about to charge at it again. If it wasn't for this storm the rodent knew it would be winning this battle, in fact it would be mopping the floor with this pest. After all they were the superior Pokemon when it came to speed. Also better battler, the Pokemon who seemed to have taken less damage, and not to mention better looking but now they where getting ahead of themself. As the sky darkened further the Rattata went in for their next attack. Scampering forward the mouse Pokemon jumped into the air and tackled the Squirtle before it had a chance to attack again. Then they jumped back, a piece of hail landing to close for comfort. While the Rattata was startled, it's attention turned to the hail that could have killed them, they found themself tackled to the group by their opponent. Stunded by this turn of events the rat like creature pulled itself out from under its foe and scampered a good distance before being hit by a piece of hail. Shaking it's head the enraged Pokemon stood there catching it's breath. This was now personal, it wouldn't sit idly by and take this.

Thorn watched as her Squirtle shook off the tackle. Her new partner was clearly injured, and she wasn’t willing to push her Pokemon to the extreme. She knew her Squirtle had the torrent ability but with no water type moves just yet, it wasn’t worth pushing the Pokemon. Instead the girl reached to her belt, where empty balls sat. She picked a Pokeball and pressed the center button, her eyes full of determination. She called her Squirtle back to her side not asking it to fight any further. ”Rattata come join me!! Without any further hesitation, Thorn Tossed the pokeball and watched. If successful, she would be running to Cherrygrove city right away where she would be able to heal and of course, call her mother and tell her of her circumstances thus far.

As Thorn chucked the Pokeball forward, it soared through the air on with a swift curve and found itself dabbing against the Rattata's body. Absorbing it in a red light, the Pokemon was covered from head to toe as it was digitised and scooped into the centre of the spherical capture device. Falling to the floor with a plonk, the capture was now under way. Rocking back and forth, it was processing the newly acquired Pokemon. It wasn't quite a Dragon type but maybe the rodent would go some way into helping Thorn retrace her steps back to Blackthorn City. Once... Twice... Thrice...

Thorn watched as the ball shook three times before coming to a stop. She walked forward picking it up. She looked to her squirtle a small smile on her face "Good job, its time to head to cherrygrove city so I Can call my mom."

Thorn placed the ball on her belt and started running towards Cherrygrove city. She was that Much closer to Blackthorn, and seeing Claire and her Family again.
