Buzz rubbed his eyes with balled fists and stared up at Skye. His eyes were red and puffy from crying, his cheeks a bright red from screaming. But something beyond the despair seemed to sparkle in the corners of his eyes as he listened to the wiser, older man speak to him in a calming and reassuring voice. “I just don’t like Arceus plan at all! We played all the time around the creek and I miss it!” Buzz puffed out his cheeks and crossed his arms firmly over his chest. “Peace…and happiness…?” He blinked, trying to understand all the big analogies that Skye spoke about…some going over his head. Rattata scratched at the ground and huffed angrily through narrowed red eyes. Its whiskered twitched, ears folded against the sides of its head. What did this little bug know? It likely had all the food it could ever want provided for it. “You don’t understand!” Rattata growled loudly, charging forth. Blood boiled underneath its furry purple hide. The ends of its lips quivered, with large incisors that snapped as though foreshadowing what it might try to do to Hope. “It took me a long time to get all those berries! I don’t just have some human to feed me whenever my belly rumbles!”“You really think he hasn’t given up?” Buzz asked, gripping his bug catching net tightly in his hands. He stared at Skye through wide eyes that while once overcast with long, dark shadows, now shimmered brightly with the hope that Skye instilled in him. It was hard to trust this newfound hope. Hard to hold onto this feeling, as fleeting as it was, and to truly believe that there was something more that he could truly believe in. “I can’t give up hope if my friend won’t give up. That’s for sure! Momma says we gotta be strong for our friends…right?” He asked Skye, double-checking the personal belief shared within his own family. The two collided once more in a tangle of fur and flesh. The bounced across the ground with soft thuds that barely whispered where their bodies struck. Rattata’s back slammed against the base of an oak, rolled, and while gripping onto Hope’s sides, slammed her against the side of a small rock. In return Hope broke away temporarily, reared, and smacked her head up against Rattata’s stomach, knocking it over the same rock. “You just…*huff*…don’t give up….*HUFF*…do you?!” Rattata growled loudly.

The worst part is, Skye can't blame the kid for feeling this way. When your friend is dying and the world feels so overwhelming, it's easy to blame a higher power out of helplessness and anger. Skye considers his response carefully; the kid is clearly sensitive right now, and this isn't a situation to take lightly. "Perhaps you could find other ways to bond with him that aren't as taxing," he suggests gently. "Like playing video games, reading books, or trying out board games together. I'm sure he'd appreciate the company."
As for his spiel, Buzz would probably have to ponder what achieving his happiness meant. The Rookie Trainer had faith that the kid could figure it out. A deep breath is taken, and he looked over to Buzz, making the biggest grin he manage to reassure the child even if he was bearing a lot of hard feelings right now. "No, he hasn't. He wants to see all the Vivillon colors so badly. The way he spoke about it, I know he's fighting with everything he has right now. That's why... I'll help him fulfil his dream; We can do it together!"
Hope didn't even have to win.
Because Skye just needed Rattata weak enough for his next move...
"Keep up the pressure, Hope. Tackle again, we're almost there!"
--
Hope would want scratch his head in confusion, if he had long enough legs to do so. The anger that this Rattata felt so far from being understood that he didn't know how to help this creature, nor stop it from wanting to bite this kid. <"... Like........ You could find a Human, probably? I'unno..... Belly Rubs are pretty greaaat mannnnnnn........">
He didn't give up.
Not when he was feeling the GROVE.
His little body picks up speed, racing forward for yet another rushing frontal assault.

Buzz tapped his chin with one finger thoughtfully. His eyes shimmered as though hope ignited in their gaze and caused them to sparkle as bright as a diamond’s edge. “We’ve always wanted to play Grant Theft Revavroom but momma says we’re a little too young…” He admitted glumly. Buzz couldn’t understand the reason for the age rating on some of his favorite games. He was mature enough to handle the content just fine! He stayed up late watching some of the most iconic movies like Nightmare on Route 23 and Roselia’s Baby! Rattata twitched its whiskers. This bug was quite a nuisance with its lackadaisical responses. It acted like every Pokemon wanted to be captured, or as though there was a home with a human for every single Pokemon out there. That just wasn’t logistically realistic and undermined the actual struggles that the furry purple rodent lived through on a constant, daily basis. “Fat chance you’ll ever see me as some stupid lap pet!” It snapped angrily, before raising itself on its haunches to lick its hands and clean its fur in anger. “And what about my sister?! And cousins?! And parents?! And best friends?! You got a home for everyone, since you’re so smart?! All 1,324 of us need a home RIGHT NOW full of food!” Buzz knew that Skye was right, though. Kent would never give up on his dreams no matter what. That was one of the things that his friend constantly talked about, and one of the reasons Buzz just had to travel and catch them all himself, as well. Skye seemed like a genuinely nice guy trying to help his friend out, which warmed Buzz’s heart. “I know we can do this! I believe it!” He piped up as the two Pokemon clashed against each other. Rattata’s sharp claws raked against Scatterbug’s sides and in retaliation, Hope slammed her body against Rattata’s legs and shoulders repeatedly. “There’s this book at the library called, The Path of Vivillon: A Tale of their Migratory Journey. Do you think that would be good to read with my friend?” He asked Skye curiously. But…would reading it only upset Kent instead? Wild Encounter

Skye had heard of that game before, but he was never really big on playing video games, either. He was inclined to agree with the Mother on this; violence to someone that young seemed a little too much to him. "Mmm...! Still, plenty of other things to do. You can play that one later, right?" he suggests to Buzz. Juggling his attention between the battle, talking to Buzz, and even watching his new Pokémon, Whisper, was challenging. A glance is made down at the Spearow who is observing the battle. He hoped to show her that it wasn't so bad, to ease her in. The Spearow was loafing around, with a somewhat somber look as she glanced around her surroundings. Her flock was gone; she had lost everything, and now she was with humans and tamed Pokémon.
Hope thought this particular Ratatta was lacking in chill, but that was because he didn't really understand those plights of theirs being owned by a Trainer for a long time. The hardest thing he's ever really had to do was battle, but even then he would get a good rest and food afterwards. "... That's a lotta Rats... Huh...." he says now with a tiredness to his tone. The battle was wearing him out.
The Trainer has decided Hope has had enough, and recalls the Caterpillar in a steady red beam to return it to the Pokéball. Hope does not struggle against this, he could use a good rest. "Alright that's some combat experience for Hope..." he glances towards Whisper with a curious look. "Hey, girl. Did you wanna try a little battle, maybe? No pressure though, okay?" he speaks softly to the creature. Whisper will look up at her owner, and give a little shake of her head, before standing up and adjusting to sit down and face another way. They were not in the mood for battle, not after facing such an ordeal and rejection from her flock.
"That's okay, then." Skye murmurs.
By now, he hopes that Sunny has had enough rest to finish this off, he will have to take a couple hits with what he has planned. The orb clicks open, and the Bulbasaur is sent out. But Skye wasn't finished here, he reveals an item from his bag. A Cyan-Colored orb with a rather cartoonish face, he tosses the object towards the weakened rat to scare the BAJESUS out of them, hoping it would bring out another Pokémon to aid them!
"HEY, RAT!!! THINK FAST!!!"

The boy pondered for a moment, glancing at Skye, then at the grass beneath his feet, before turning his gaze to a random tree in the distance. " I... I guess." he said with a pout. " I just wish to play it with Kent. And I don't know if..." Buzz paused, the painful words refusing to leave his throat. Everything seemed to circle back to uncertainty; what if they didn't have much time left? What if Kent won't make it until they were both old enough? Tears welled in his eyes once again. It was all so unfair! Rattata ruffled its tail. After all that talk earlier, suddenly Meowth got the Scatterbug's tongue! " Go figure! You human pets are all high and mighty, but when it comes to finding solutions, you're all useless! Phew!" the rodent ran towards Hope, but as it was about to attack, he switched! In his place appeared this plant-like toad. Unable to gracefully come to a stop, the rodent made a rather wonky u-turn, smacking Sunny across its face with its tail before retreating. " He ran?! Seriously?! Bah! I'll beat all of you up, then!" the purple rodent squeaked with annoyance, preparing for another attack, when suddenly... BOOM! A deafening explosion and a blinding flash, all within a millisecond! The Rattata jumped at least six feet in the air, terrified! Blinded and disoriented, it ran in circles. " WHAT WAS THAT? WHAT WAS THAT?! HELP, HELP!" it screamed. Buzz watched the scene unfold, mouth agape. " Whoa! Was that an Adrenaline Orb? That was so cool!" he exclaimed, smiling for the first time since he and the trainer met, shaking his fists in excitement. He'd read about the item, but had never seen it used! And, being a kid, noisy things were always the coolest. As Rattata ran and screeched for its life, another low chatter could be heard in the grass nearby. " Who's making all that noise? Whippersnappers!" With all the time in the world, an elder Rattata, a Grandttata, waddled onto the scene, with crooked whiskers, greying fur, and a tired gaze. " Stop running around like a fool! You look ridiculous!" Despite its sluggishness, Grandttata managed to stomp on the younger rodent's tail at the perfect moment, halting its movements. " It's them, Grandttata! The human and its pet! They stomped on our berries and then threw something LOUD!" the pitiful purple Pokémon pointed in their direction with its paw. Grandttata's gaze turned into a serious glare. " Oh, why I oughtta!" Grandttata growled. " Wasting our food and causing us a disturbance! Back in my day, elders were respected! Insolent brats! Have at you, hooligans!" Wild Encounter

Skye winced at the sight of Buzz's tears, regretting his earlier question. Consoling the child proved to be a challenge, especially with the battle raging around them. Bulbasaur was now out in the fray, and he takes a rather nasty hit, one that probably would've finished off Scatterbug. He's glad that he trusted his instinct when it came to his Pokémon needing rest. His first use of Adrenaline Orb brought surprises, he didn't expect it to be //SO// loud, but that must be what would make them cry out for help in the first place. Now things are getting more complicated, a second rat appeared, this one looking older than the first. "Ahhh... Another one? I was hoping for something else, ah well..." he murmurs. Glancing the new rat up and down.
"Mhm.. I was trying to get a new friend to come to us... Didn't work, though. An elderly Rattata could be quite rare.... It might offer a unique opportunity for study," he murmured to himself, contemplating his options. Despite having already scanned the previous, younger Rattata with his Pokédex, he decided to scan the new one as well, hoping to gather additional data.
Sunny was a bit groggy from trying to rest, he's snapping awake. The moment he has opened his eyes he is being attacked by a younger rat and yelled at by his Elder, <".. I.. I just got here... What the heck???"> he grumbled in confusion. His Trainer had really gotten into the thick out of it with not one, but TWO foes after him. Regardless, it was duty to protect Skye, he takes up a battle stance, ready for orders.
Skye will point at the stronger of the two Ratatta, "Attack the older ratty, Sunny. Vine Whip!"
For one, he wasn't dealing with BIRDS, so this attack should actually be effective for once...

Buzz blinked and stared off through the nearby trees. What else was out here that Skye was trying to attract? He’d heard of the rare red bears that roamed the forest around them, though Buzz had only caught glimpses of them in the past. He didn’t know too many people who went out of their way to try to find them though…could that be it? “Like what? Spearow…or something rarer?” Buzz asked, his voice full of curiosity. His readings on the orbs suggested that they could attract Pokemon never seen in the area, as though these illusive creatures only appeared when they heard the telltale flash and bang of the orbs, though. The elderly rat stared at Sunny with a firm glare. Of course, this little one had no idea what was going on. A simple house pet from the moment it hatched, it just stomped about and caused a ruckus wherever its trainer decided they should. It’s ignorance was no excuse for its behavior, though. “Just because you seem to not understand the gravity of what you’ve done…” Granttata wheezed, thrashing his tail about from side to side. “Doesn’t mean you get off the hook Scot-Free for the trouble you and your trainer have caused.” He hissed, twitching his whiskers feverously. The younger purple rodent zipped off the ground at the speed of light and slammed into Sunny’s side, nearly knocking them both over to roll through the tall emerald blades of grass. It just couldn’t stand all these strangers who didn’t even seem to care about their plight! “We’re going to starve when winter comes at this rate! How will the colony survive with most of our food smashed to bits!” Grandttata turned a serious and firm eye on its younger rat friend. “Now you hush up all that ugly noise, young one. Remember what I always say in times like this.” It snapped, running over to slap Sunny several times with its tail. “We’ll see?” The orbed Rattata sniffled, as Grandtatta yelped from Sunny’s strong vines whipping it about.
