It finally felt like the sun was rising in earnest as Charlotte began venturing onto Route 29. A warm breeze was drifting in from the west, almost warm enough to make her consider discarding the long, thick cardigan she wore over her blouse and skirt. She was careful of her footfalls, though; a thin sheen of frost had settled over the grass, and while it did crunch in a rather satisfying way as she made her way down the path, she worried that stepping on it the wrong way would send her feet sliding out from under her.
She suddenly stopped at the edge of a patch of tall grass, the Squirtle following behind bumping into the back of her calf abruptly,
“I'm sorry, dear,” she cooed as she patted Emil on the head, “I, uh – am just a little nervous, is all. I wonder what sort of Pokemon live around here?”
The Squirtle crossed his little arms across his chest and scanned the area thoughtfully. His eyes narrowed, and Emil went nearly motionless; he was on high alert for the presence of any other Pokemon. Charlotte looked down at him, then back up, hastily scanning the area herself. Her hand moved to her belt, feeling for the Pokeball of her recently acquired Scatterbug. At least she had options for dealing with whatever wild Pokemon she might soon encounter.

Frost crunching underfoot, the ground slick, it was a bit unsteady going as Charlotte started her journey onto the route. The tall grass loomed, tipped with white, frozen bits sagging from the weight of the ice. It was only natural to feel nervous. People were always told to stay out of tall grass if they didn't have a pokemon companion. But she had two with her. Surely she was quite safe in this route known for its bug catchers and young children not quite old enough to make their first ventures for the gym challenge.
Emil looked around with keen eyes, searching for threats.
All was hush.
Until a patch of the weeds started to rustle. Frail, hardened stalks shivered and rattled, their greenery having faded into a listless brown. Then, a purple head popped out, nose twitching. Likely scavenging for food. An ear flicked. It looked up, eyes unblinking, though not with fear. The rattata was hungry, but not aggressive. This close to town it was likely that the rodent was used to humans and possibly rummaged through trash and gardens when night fell.  A [LV 5] Rattata appeared!

ooc// Hello and welcome to ZZ! Just a couple tips to get you started on your journey. Encounters are like in the games, so even attempts to befriend pokemon require a ball to be thrown and a pokemon selected to 'battle'. Catching pokemon gains exp same as winning a battle, so keep that in mind if you're in a tight spot! And lastly, every area has different requirements before you can move onto the next. After completing those requirements, you can end you thread by putting an [F] in the title. Otherwise, we mods may think you want another encounter! I hope you have fun playing here at ZZ. ^_^1-42 |

Threat detected.
Emil spotted the Rattata almost immediately, though it took Charlotte a couple more moments to realize the little rodent was there,
“Oh!” she exclaimed in surprise, “Hello there, little one! How are you doing-”
Before she could finish her sentence, Emil launched a Water Gun in the direction of the purple rat. It didn't matter if there was no outward hostility; the little Pokemon had caught the two unaware, and Emil found that suspect. Any and all potential dastards threatening his Trainer were to be dealt with, posthaste!
“Emil!” Charlotte shrieked, “What are you doing?!”

The furry purple rodent stared up at the older lady’s eyes for a moment. It didn’t move, just shivered. Sharp, beady eyes blinked as its long whiskered twitched quietly. Some humans tossed scraps of food at the purple mouse, while many more chased it off or shrieked in terror. Charlotte seemed to do neither, which relaxed the wild mouse at first. The chill in the air nibbed at its short, dense fur, causing its body to convulse in quick shivering as it squeaked painfully underneath its breath. Hunger drove it out from hiding. But the bitter cold was slowly chasing it back. Then something snapped, causing the bucktoothed mouse to turn on its heels and arch its back defensively. It folded its small ears against its head and narrowed its sharp eyes angrily towards Emil. A threat. It rushed across the slippery ground in haste to slam into the mean spirited turtle. Its cream-colored paws slipped on the icy ground along the way, sending the speedy rodent slamming into its opponent’s side, which knocked Emil across the ground a few paces. Take that, you mean turtle!Emil popped up almost as easily. He released a long stream of water that jettisoned from his mouth and slammed against Rattata’s side. The water froze into small icy crystals on the short purple fur, clinging to Rattata’s body and causing it to feel even colder. Bitingly colder. “I’m just hungry!” Rattata cried angrily, then slunk sadly where it stood into a strange, half-sitting position as it eyed Charlotte with wide, begging red orbs. “Can’t you take pity on that and feed a starving, wild critter like myself?” It pleaded with her.

Charlotte was at a loss for what to do.
She felt terrible for the poor, starving rodent, but she found herself frozen in place, unable to respond. Emil acted in her stead; infuriated at the indignity of being tackled by this rat, the Squirtle charged forward with a Tackle of his own.
"I'm sorryyyyy!" Charlotte cried pitifully. Should she try and bring Emil back? But what if the Rattata retaliated with further violence? This was all a rather dismal to her career as a Trainer.

The lady dithered and whined and suddenly, the rat was plowed into by the turtle! Urg. <Do you have to be such a brute?> it snapped. <I'm cold. I'm wet. I'm hungry. Just leave me alone to starve or give me food. No need to keep being a bully.> And it indeed was shivering, those ice crystals making its purple fur shimmer a bit. One could see its boney frame beneath the dampened fluff. It chittered a bit as it tackled the squirtle back in return. GO AWAY! Then it peered up again at the human. <C'mon. Call off the squirtle and give me a snack. Pleaaaase?> It wasn't exactly proud of begging, but when you wanted to eat, you wanted to eat. You didn't dither on the details. So it would beg, barter or steal if it had to. If no scraps were had here, it might just have to try to get into the lady's bag later and gobble up her travel supplies. Wild Encounter
