A really strong cold breeze seemingly came out of no where causing not only Sasha but her friends to wrap their arms around them and shiver. Patting herself once again to try and get warmth Sasha was quite pleased her parents convinced her to take along winter clothing, since with it having a warmth where she was originally from New Bark isn't...which meant wearing long heavy black pants, a long sleeved gray sweater and even a trench coat plus winter hat and gloves, both presents from a relative of hers. After the breeze left the area Sasha glanced over at the others and they all nodded meaning they were ready to head out on their newest adventure with her. Smiling she reached into her one coat pocket and pulled out a chap stick and quickly applied it before returning the cap and the entire thing to her pocket. Taking a deep breath Sasha started to walk to the area she and the other's were instructed, wondering what mysteries would come to pass for them. Before long she stopped and reached to her side pulling out her one and only pokemon which was her starter Squirtle whom she named 'Sherlock' after a favorite detective of hers; even if he wasn't technically real, Sasha still enjoyed his tales. Releasing Squirtle from his ball Sasha kneeled down in front of him and patted his head before responding "I'm not used to being a trainer, but I'm willing to give this a good shot ok?" The Squirtle just stared up at her and then smiled before responding it's usual "Squirtle Squirtle!" and nodding. Sasha nodded to him and then reached into her bag and pulled out a pair of glasses for him to wear which he was quite happy with. Satisficed Sasha ushered Sherlock back into his pokeball and started making the wall again, with the other's following. @tagged

The frosty air chased some of the youngsters back into their warm houses, where doting mothers made happy breakfast meals that seemed to smile at you from your plate. Many more gathered through the grass, chasing after the Pokemon that frolicked through the icy grass whose bright green blades where now covered in frost. They laughed with each other, nudging one another to point to furry purple rodents darting about in the distance, or clamoring in excitement over the small brown birds that soared overhead. One walked closely along the route clinging nervously to a small red-and-white orb as it studied its new companion locked inside of its balls thoughtfully. “Mo-momma sa-said that we-we would be be-best friends.” The young child murmured through staggered, stuttering speeches with a careful shake of his head. Many of the other children kept away from him, with a few calling him ‘weird’ or asking why he had to talk ‘funny’. He didn’t know himself, so it hurt him to think that others found him to be such a bother to them as well. “Yo-you’ll love me ri-right, La-ladyco-cow?” He asked quietly to himself. When he spotted in the distance, the young boy squeaked nervously and wondered if she would be a newfound friend or just another mean kid to tell him to get out of their way. “Le-let’s see, sha-shall we, La-ladyco-cow?!” He asked his Pokemon, still inside of its Poke Ball. Then the young Bug Catcher would trail all the way up the gently sloping hill now covered in soft frost towards Sasha. He waved nervously and seemed to visibly shy as he neared her presence. She was…not a kid. No sirree. She was an adult, probably somewhere close to his own momma’s age, donned in the best winter attire fit for a snowstorm. “Hey! Me-me and la-Ladyco-cow here were ju-just a’lookin’ fo-for a trainer to-to battle against. If-if you wo-wouldn’t mind?” He asked quietly with wide, pleading eyes. Please, please, don’t be mean.

Before Sasha and her group could continue down the same path another trainer stopped right in front of them. He appeared to be a bug catcher who didn't seem to have a lot of courage and seemed to show his courage with daring a battle with Sasha. This was sweet to someone like Sasha and she pretended to cover her mouth with her leather glove hand and chuckled under her breath. This kid was showing a spunk and she was enjoying this although her friends were watching wondering what was going to happen next. But Sasha stood there with the breeze blowing for a few seconds and suddenly her hand dipped down and gripped her small ball causing it to enlarge. Throwing it out she yelled "Come on out Sherlock!" and suddenly a squirtle got thrown out and quickly placed on the pair of glasses he was given by his owner. "Alright kid, I'll have a fight with you" she stood there her feet planted solid on the ground watching the ledyba and wondering what type of moves this particular creature was or moves it had. Pulling out her pokedex, she got a answer and with the exact thing telling her what pokemon that was...Sasha decided she was fully ready. @tagged

Trevor really just wanted to find friends, people who didn't think he was weird even if he talked 'funny' like most of the children his age said. He really just wanted to play and make friends with those who were around since he knew his parents wouldn't let him wander far at his young age. One day he would be a great pokemon trainer and he would meet all kinds of friends and meet all kinds of pokemon just like ladycow who didn't make fun of him and wanted to play all day. That was definitely the dream, but first, he had to get through the first pokemon battle ever. It was thankful that the woman who was much older than he thought wasn't mean like the other kids. She didn't make fun of the way he talked and didn't seem to blow him off either at his request. "R-R-Really?" he stuttered and tried to hide his shock at how easily she accepted, but he wasn't supposed to be surprised. He quickly tried to curb his enthusiasm but it was hard to when he hadn't expected her to be so kind even if he really really wished for it. "R-R-Right a B-B-Battle." he had to live up to the challenge even as she pulled out her pokedex and identified the bug that he had. "T-T-Truthfully this i-i-is my f-f-first b-battle." he said feeling a little embarrassed now that he was actually here in this situation. He didn't think he'd get this far which meant he wasn't really sure what to do next. Perhaps she would help him with that as well. "D-D-Do you m-m-mind goin' f-f-first?" he asked before he quickly added on so she would understand what he meant. "I-I-If you d-d-do then I'd f-f-feel much b-b-better about d-d-doing it m-m-myself." he finished. Maybe her starting would give him the courage and also an idea how battles were supposed to go.

When Trevor spoke out Sasha understood his stuttering might cause bullying out of others his age, but she of all people would never be that kind of person. She kept her cool and listen to him continue onward although at times it was a bit difficult to understand him...but after a few minutes of hearing the words in her head she merely nodded. Sasha smiled and replied;"Of course, you want a battle then I shall grant you one, but be warned I will not go easy on you just because you are a child; nor do I expect the same out of you" "Show your opponent no matter who they are, that you Trevor aren't afraid to battle anyone...no matter their age, height or anything really"Sasha's friends cheered in agreement trying to give Trevor a boost of confidence only to remember the semi-coldness of the upcoming winter that was approaching and then each patting their sides trying to stay a bit warm. Glancing over Sasha motioned for them to sit and commented perhaps someone could open up a thermos of their hot cocoa and have a drink. Each gotten one and even one of the friends offered it to Trevor, by placing it on the ground next to him before heading back to the group. Sasha taking a quick sip of her hot beverage nodded and proceeded with the battle."ALRIGHT SHERLOCK LET'S START THIS!" "ATTACK WITH WATER GUN!!!!"

The kid lightened up and his shoulder's clearly relaxed when Sasha spoke kindly to him and didn't even wrinkle her nose of his way of talking. He glanced shyly at the group of people she was with, but they seemed to be content to stand back and let Sasha do the talking and get all the action. "G-g-g-gr-g-great! I'm T-t-t-tr-trevor!" He stammered out excitedly and just nodded to her warning him that she wasn't going to go easy on him, that was what you did in battles. "I'm going to do my-my best! Go Ladyco-co-cow!" He declared and pointed forward, resulting in his ladyba to look confused between him and the direction he was pointing at. Trevor hesitated and his arm fell to his side, and he rubbed his arm bashfully. This was really something else than when you watched the others play battle in the schoolyard, how was it done again? His mind had gone blank. "Where are ya all g-going? I thought p-p-people went alone," he asked curiously, getting distracted now he didn't really know what he was supposed to do. When Sasha both encouraged him and her friends clearly cheered for him, he laughed and hid his face in his hands. He didn't notice the cup of cocoa he had been offered, but he also needed to keep his full attention at the battle. Sasha called out her order. "Right! I n-need to call out a-a-a-n attack!" He said frantically and fumbled with his pokedex to look up again, what moves it was his pokemon had. In the meantime Ladycow was on its own as Sherlock began to blast water guns at it. The bug did remarkably well, darting around and dodging the attacks by moving in the very last second so that the squirtle missed no matter how much he aimed. "Oh! La-l-ladycow, use s-s-super sonic!" Trevor shouted and Ladycow stopped dead in its track and began to beat its small wings loudly, making a really annoying sound which went through bones. Sherlock would shook his head as it seemed to echo inside his head and bouncing around. He tried to stop it by hitting the bug with some water but his direction was so much off that he instead sent it straight at flat stone in front of him, and got a blast of water himself. Trevor stared, "What.. what hap-p-pe-pened?" He asked confused, he had no clue what the move he had called had done, it had just sounded cool.

That move was unexpected to someone like Sasha so when her pokemon attacked himself she was unsure of what to do next. Trevor speaking up asked if it worked and she smiled softly before responding to him "It did indeed, you seem to be learning greatly about your pokemon friend"
Trevor seemed to be proving his determination and perhaps if he did when this battle, it would give him more courage...and it would help him with bullies further down the road. Now Sasha had to decide on what move to do next, and it was going to be rather difficult when her only pokemon was confused since if she made him attack Trevor's pokemon would he still be confused? Most likely. So with her arms crossed Sasha reached her one hand upward so she could ponder on what move to do next going forward in the battle. The coldness kept coming more as she kept thinking and decided she was going to have Sherlock attack Trevor's pokemon again, since she didn't really have anything to help Sherlock out. Sighing under her breath she reached out her finger and said "Hopefully this works but Sherlock, use Water Gun again!" If this didn't work then Sasha was going to be out of any options, but with her friends rooting both parties on Sasha was going to go on with her very might. @tagged

"O-oh! That's good? Y-yeah. G-g-good! Good j-job Ladycow." Trevor said. You needed to cheer on your pokemon when they did well, right? That way they were confident and knew you believed in them and your friendship grew. And Ladycow was his partner and friend. "Y-you c-can do it too, Squirtle!" Pause. "Is it o-o-okay t-t-to cheer for you t-t-to?" He tried smiling shyly, hands balls up as he wriggled a bit in nervous excitement. This battle was going well and maybe he was even making a friend. He always wanted a friend. "Ladycow, use...um. T-t-tackle?" The ladybug made a happy noise and swooped down, smacking into the squirtle. It was a glancing blow. Ledyba weren't exactly known for great, physical prowess, but Trevor was beaming. She listened to him! Then, squirtle breathed in and blasted Ladycow backwards wit ha harsh stream of water. She fell back, head over tail before catching herself, still mid air, and shaking the wet off. Brrrr. Chilly! "You ok-kay?" "Baaa!"

Sasha was quite suprised that her Squirtle's watergun attack actually worked and seemingly didn't backfire causing him to attack himself once again. The Ledyba while harmed didn't seem to be in to much pain and got right back up ready to battle once more, which to someone new with battling wasn't to much upset even if she wished the watergun was a bit stronger but oh well. She smiled at Trevor when he started to cheer for her own pokemon and when he nervously asked if that was alright Sasha nodded and replied "I see no need to stop you, this isn't a gym battle nor do I wish harm upon your actual pokemon...we're merely two friends having a friendly battle to see who can win, that's all"All her friends seemed to agree with Sasha seeing as how when they acquired their own pokemon all of them battle each other just to test out the waters so to speak. None of them forced any sort of trades, or triumph over each other by making fun of the loser, it was just friends duking it out and laughing every moment of it. "That was pretty good Sherlock, let's see if we can keep it up though" Sasha knew deep down she couldn't keep using water gun on Trevor's pokemon, that wouldn't be a fair battle nor would it be fair to her own pokemon. Thinking for a few minutes she thought about the other moves she was instructed her pokemon knew how to perform. Which one would be a good idea for such a pokemon? Tackle? Perhaps, but could Trevor's bug pokemon merely fly up to avoid such assault? That was highly possible given the pokemon did indeed have wings, but perhaps it couldn't...would Sasha take such a risk? And her own pokemon was also still confused, given a mental note to stop by a mart as soon as possible to buy stuff to break confusion, hopefully they sold such things. Getting back to the battle in question Sasha took another breath and spoke out "Sherlock use Tackle!"@tagged

"F-f-friends?" Trevor said softly. "Right, we're...f-f-friends. And this is a b-b-battle b-b-between friends." His smile in return was genuine. "Ladycow, use t-t-tackle again! Meet them h-h-head on!" His voice sounded a little firmer. Stronger. Bolder. The stutter remained, but Trevor didn't seem to be trying to mumble over it as the battle progressed. Ladycow swooped down to meet Sherlock beat-for-beat, the pair slamming into each other and bouncing back. Strangely, that tackle seemed to have a similar effect on the ledyba as the tackle. Maybe it had poorer defenses to physical type attacks like tackle than it did special types like water gun? So it all sorta evened out? Sasha could probably look it up in the pokedex and figure out why her attempts to gentle her blows with an attack like tackle wasn't really...well...panning out as planned! But neither pokemon seemed super tired or upset. Then again, pokemon usually liked battling, as it was a part how they grew and communicated. Ladycow made a cheerful sound, even, and did a happy little flip in the air. Trainer Battle Weather: Frost [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Ladycow LV 5 HP 60% [12/20]

This battle was appearing to go on forever and with the coldness affecting all the players Sasha was a bit worried that anyone of them would get sick, especially Trevor since his outfit of choice wasn't exactly the type of clothing one would wear for the oncoming winter months. Then she wondered if he would continue to wear stuff like this...and if he did, does his mother allow such type of thing? Or perhaps his mother doesn't have a clue on what is really going on with him due to working or something like that? "Nice shot" Sasha replied to Trevor showing no concern since she didn't want to frighten her new friend nor the other friends on the sideline. "Hopefully the weather no matter the coldness it is now remains like this" she muttered to herself trying to figure out her next move and also trying to remember what moves her pokemon had to use. She already used tackle and water gun, and while they were semi-effective she needed to come up with a better plan, but of course squirtle wasn't far along with battling so his moves may not be as powerful as his evolved forms. If only she had other pokemon to use like a fire type that would possibly work extremally better at this bug pokemon. Thinking more on this Sasha noticed her Squirtle turning around and giving her a look as to pondering what his next move was going to be from her. Of course she didn't want to keep anyone waiting but this was still difficult for her and with the wind blowing a tad more she covered herself some in order to keep warm then quickly taking a sip of her hot cocoa. Then she recalled another move which was a tad similiar to tackle but different and with a nod she continued onward "All right Sherlock use Skull Bash!"@tagged

Things were going pretty well, Trevor clearly got his confidence in his abilities build up in this safe environment and with an opponent who was understanding and helpful. He might still have little clue of what he was doing and would certainly not be able to take on some more challenging opponents but this would make him able to defend himself against wild pokemon and battle other youngsters like himself, perhaps he could even get some respect from them if he ended up being good. Trevor clearly didn't feel the cold, although he did rub his nose a couple of time. This battle also took a surprisingly long time but that was how it was when the pokemon were equal in strength. "I h-hope so-so too!" Trevor said with a smile, still having forgotten all about the cup which had been placed at his side. It was surely cold by now. The boy was thinking about asking about some of the moves again, to learn how they worked when Sasha gave her order and his eyes widened. "S-s-sk-skull?" He stammered, having no clue what it did but it sounded big and scary! "L-l-l.. Bug! T-tackle, quick!" He exclaimed terrified and his ledyba buzzed happily and calmly flew over to Sherlock and gave him a light push, before returning carefree to her trainer and flying in circles around him. Sherlock turned to stare incredulously at his trainer, he had never heard such move before and he had no clue what it was she wanted him to do.
