Since leaving the exotic lands of Unova, Catherine was overly pleased with her journey across Johto, to date. There was not a single day which she wouldn't want to repeat and with a team of cute and strong Pokemon by her side, she was feeling unstoppable. This sudden hand in power almost making her happiness seem creepy and chaotic, the young blonde didn't appear to notice her personality beginning to change slightly. She was still as sweet and innocent as ever, wanting nothing more than to help the injured around her but the way she had started jumping into battles with little thought was a cause for concern. If her head became too big then surely she would wind up in a situation much too strong for her. Perhaps such a thing was going to happen on this very day. Taking a detour from the lovely traditional streets of Violet City, the young nurse in training had decided to venture back along the outskirts of Cherrygrove. Wrapped up nice and warm in her winter garments, the blonde wore a cheerful smile despite walking through heavy, icy rain. Atlas, her faithful Pansage, clung to her shoulder, partly wrapped up in the girls warm scarf as his body shuddered horribly in this cold. Unlike his brother Prometheus, Atlas wasn't quite able to keep himself warm. Luckily the rain wasn't touching him or the pair for that matter, as she had cleverly picked up a bright pink umbrella to keep themselves protected whilst travelling. But the wind was still a bit nippy. The hair on the back of her neck standing on end, Catherine cheerfully rubbed the side of her soft, cold cheek against the back of Atlas' head. "How are you doing Atlas? All nice and warm yet? You feel all cosy against my neck, heehee~"
Shaking ever so slightly, Atlas turned his head to meet the emerald eyes of his trainer, a dopey, uncertain grin spread across his face before hiding away again as the cold clashed against his teeth. "The rain is sooo bad but let's just see what is about. I really want to see something rare and cute! But if it gets worse, we'll head back to town for a niiiice warm drink, okay? I promise!" Unsure about Catherine's words as he knew how easily distracted and forgetful she was, the Pansage just prepared himself for the day ahead.
"LOOK ATLAS! OVER THERE!"
Flinching miserably as he called this happening in the back of his mind, the poor little ape tried to turn in the warm confines of her scarf to see what stupid thing had attracted her attention this time. Shaking in fear at the sight, there was no way he wanted to get involved in what was up ahead. A trio of Houndour were seemingly approaching some young boy, kicking the curiosity level in Catherine up to max as he began crying for help. Wearing a smile as she made a small jump across a puddle, she began a speedy skip over to the boy, grinning as she went. "DOOOOONT WORRY LITTLE BOY! CATHERINE HERE WILL PROTECT YOOOU!" Wanting to slap his forehead, the grass monkey was too busy clinging on for dear life, burrowing himself deeper into the fluffy material. If they were going to battle, he was the last Pokemon who wanted to be picked. Luckily, as she approached, she instantly knew Atlas wouldn't do too well. "Heehee, is that a pack of Houndour?! My eyes never decieve me! Well-ell-ellll, I best step in before things get dangerous!" Reaching into her bag and pulling out three Pokeballs between each of her fingers, she was quick to send them out in unison.
"Cobalt, Piccolo, Sadaharu! Go GO GOOOO!" Bursting from the light were three very distinctly different Pokemon. The first was Cobalt, a energetic Totodile who appeared to be greatly pleased with the weather. Splashing about and quacking in excitement, he appeared to be uninterested in the Houndour before him. Then there was Piccolo, a fluffy Minccino who was needless to say, more soggy than fluffy now. Utterly drenched in the rain and highly unimpressed, he shared a similar disgruntled expression with that of the final Pokemon, Sadaharu. A gigantic Snubbull who was triple the size of any normal pink canine of his species, the dog grunted down at the puny creatures he was up against. "Cobalt, use Water Gun and soak that doggy in the middle. Piccolo, back him up with your cute little Aqua Tail!" Flinging her spare arm around energetically, she then gave her final order, "And Sadaharu, Tackle into that one on the far left. Try your hardest everyone!"
OOC: Cobalt/Totodile used Water Gun on Havoc, Piccolo/Minccino used Aqua Tail on Havoc, Sadaharu/Snubbull used Tackle on Helena.

Upon seeing the arrival of help, the studious young boy made a sigh of relief and seemed to stem the tears which had been swelling up in his eyes. At least now he wasn't all by his lonesome. His Pokemon appeared to be of little comfort with how traumatised they appeared. Calling out to the pink and frilly sight of Catherine, Jimmy made known how grateful he was. " O-Oh! I am so happy to see someone else... M-Miss! P-Please help! These Houndour don't look very friend-" Just before he could finish, the trio barked out in unison and sent a shock wave of a bark flying through at them. From their perspective, a runt like cur such as he had no right to speak out. He was nothing more than a walking bit of meat for them to snack on. Pushing himself back up against the wall once more, Jimmy trembled his bottom lip. The presence of Catherine was just enough to boost his confidence to speak. After all, perhaps with someone else present, the Houndour might spare him. " If you can see off these horrible dogs I can reward you somehow! I... Er... Know a lot of knowledgeable subjects on Pokemon! I'm top of my class!" Blundering aimlessly without being able to think properly, everything Jimmy was saying came out as awkward. Nevertheless, with Catherine and her group ready to avert tragedy, maybe he'd come back to his senses good and proper. As her three Pokemon came to his aid, the Houndour pack seemed a lot less aggressive, having not anticipated any resistance and certainly not in the form of a Pokemon battle. It seemed the leader who was standing in the centre had sniffed the scent of a dangerous foe in the form of Cobalt but was more concerned as it saw the incredibly hulk that was Sadaharu. Also of a canine species, the pack looked up in both terror and awe at how monstrous he looked. Cobalt may have been the natural enemy of their element but there was little need for concern if something could so easily just bludgeon them out of the picture with one paw step on them. The leader howled out and the two Pokemon also picked out on this as if understanding the howl as a direct order. It seemed that they were going to be focusing on taking out the main threat first, no matter how intimidating he seemed. Setting an example for the rest of his pack, the leader sped forward with its mouth ablaze. It skidded to a halt after reaching the centre of the make shift battlefield and began coughing up a fiery round of coal like embers that flew straight towards Sadaharu. Grunting Sadaharu looked with his grumbly face as the searing burst of coal like embers impacted towards him. Barely feeling the attack, instead likening it to a warm rub, the Pokemon slopped his large chops as he shrugged it off. The pack's female, was soon to follow off from its leader's attack. With another scorching shot of embers being flung at the indifferent Sadaharu, the Snubbull once again took the hit without so much a reaction. Reaching a paw, the large dog rubbed the area it had been shot at with ember and made a small growl after realising no lasting damage had been made. With one more Houndour left to attack, it was surprising to see it deviate from the rest of the pack's choice of move. Instead, it ignored its order and had been looking at Sadaharu curiously. Not quite comfortable with its gigantic size, the hell hound jumped forward, showing its rear end, front. With a wimpy look on its face, the hound let rip a fart so horrible that a visible purple smog cloud was sent flurrying towards the Snubbull. Sadaharu coughed horribly as it tried to forget how insidious that smell was but it seemed to be a nasty lingering odour. As the runtier of the trio returned back to its spot, the leader and the female seemed outraged with the fact it had gone for the target with an attack other than the one issued. Abyss cowered its ears and seemed upset. Perhaps this pack of Houndour wasn't so perfectly formed as first surmised. Unable to lampoon their weakest link any further, the sudden hustle of energy from Catherine's team became apparent to the pack. Shifting their heads swiftly in the direction, all three of them in unison let out a surprised yelp realising what was about to unfold. Depending on which side of the fight you would ask, it was either fortunate or unlucky. Hopping forward with a slightly demented air about him, Cobalt opened up his jagged maw before letting out a less than sharp jet of water. Although the attack wasn't sharp as it would have been with a direct bite, the water poured out with absolute gusto, drenching Havoc mercilessly until he could no longer focus and collapsed drained on the floor. The little bundle of energy had landed a critical hit! The assault didn't stop there however, having been told to attack the main leader, Piccolo made a small shrug before mischievously picking on the second in command. Bounding off with a few hops and jumps, the chinchilla waved its lengthy tail around as it span in great circles. The faster it went, the more its tail seemed to not blur but changed into that of a watery trill. With one more revolution, Piccolo went slamming into Helena who was not expecting such a watery attack and whined at how devastating it felt. Making an acrobatic backflip to where Catherine stood, Sadaharu stomped forward angrily, knowing it had its end of the bargain to uphold. Sporting a look so grumpy it could outdo most elderly men, the Pokemon went bounding forward, causing small shockwaves as it did. Lowering its body forward, Sadaharu made a direct pass at Helena. As he made contact, the Snubbull let rip every bit of force it had in its body and made a bone crushing hit onto the enemy, forcing it to fall unconscious as soon as it impacted against the floor. With both of the leading forces gone, the pack should have presumably fallen into disarray but a saddened whimper from Abyss reminded that there was still one threat left, no matter how meagre he looked. With two Houndour fainted, it seemed the school kid had regained some courage. " Oh my... Thank you so much Miss! I would have been a goner had it not been for you." Adjusting his glasses, he nervously looked at his encyclopaedia of Pokemon he had been carrying and glanced at the entry on Houndour whilst his three infant Pokemon huddled together closer in absolute fear of the opponent's hellish appearance. " Oh no, it says here a pack leader should disband the threat but that last one isn't fleeing...! Something must've riled them u-up, EEK!" Jumping, it seemed the runt of the group had grown past his quiet state was getting tired of the boy's squeaking tone of voice. Triple Pack Battle

Far too intrigued with the battle which was about to unfold before her, Catherine had almost forgotten about the boy she was supposed to be helping. Blinking as she heard a voice speak out from the side of her, the youthful blonde straightened her back and turned her head sideways to see the source. Swiftly remembering, Catherine wore a bright smile across her face which was enough to pierce right through all the nasty rain, storm clouds and angered growls coming from the Houndour close by. Raising a hand and rubbing away the tears of Jimmy, she nodded her head a few times, "Don't worry little one! I know a loooot about Pokemon too, I want to be a nurse some day, heehee! Ooh ohh but let's compare knowledge, okaaay?" Having hidden away beneath her scarf, Atlas was right out of the picture as Catherine's motor mouth began to rev up. Clicking her fingers and pointing forwards, her usually wide eyes narrowed as she wore a confident smirk, "Once the leader is down, the pack will disbAND!" The sudden energetic shout at the end sent shivers right down the back of Atlas' spine, a nervous whimper escaping the chimp. He wasn't enjoying being in the proximity of these fire types at all and with how reckless Catherine was, it made him more worried.
Noticing the group was focusing their assault on the giant Sadaharu, Catherine clenched her tiny hands into fists, waving her umbrella about angrily in the air, "DONT HURT MY LITTLE SADAHARU YOU BULLIES! OOOOH! SHOW EM WHAT FOR 'HARU! BANG BANG BOOOM!-- h-huuuUUUH?!" Actually becoming lost for words as the final Houndour turned it's rear to let out a nasty fart, Catherine staggered backward and clung a hand around her nose, "EEEWWW What a stinky stinky pooch! What has he been eating?!" Her over dramatic reaction to his flatulence quickly wore off as it was finally the turn of her Pokemon to fight back, she was incredibly pleased with the turn out. Cobalt literally blasted the leader out of the way and both Piccolo and the large Sadaharu managed to squash the lone female. Meaning that only the naughty farter was left. Leaning back and leering down her nose whilst grinning manically, Catherine was feeling no sympathy for the creature at all. "This is what happens to those naughty, naughty poochies who dont listen to their trainers!" These words loomed warningly in Sadaharu's mind who grunted nervously under his breath. She wasn't a mean trainer but she was so scarily happy and possessive.
"Now! Cobalt, Water Gun! Piccolo, Aqua Tail and Sadaharu, Tackle! Show this last one how we do things!" Punching her arms playfully forward whilst being hit with the odd droplet of rain, her attention turned back down to Jimmy who appeared somewhat relieved now that most of the Houndour were down. Unsure as to why they hadn't ran with the loss of Havoc, Catherine calmed down some and held the umbrella back over the pair, "I gueeeess he wants to stay behind to help his friends. But such Pokemon shouldn't be attacking people in the first place. Don't worry, you'll be one hundred percent safe very soon!"

At times like these, a certain word sprung to mind. That word being none other than overkill. With there being only one against three, the fortunes of the Houndour pack had surely been turned on its head and then flipped around to the side and shoved up some poor unfortunate soul's rear end. Thinking that they could make a tasty treat of Jimmy, it was understandable none of them could have predicted that a saviour such as Catherine and her merry band of Pokemon would have stepped in to save the day. Abyss had the right mind to flee although the risk of being gunned down with its back turned froze the canine to the spot. Unsure of what was about to unfold, the last remaining Houndour couldn't hold its nerves and with a quick swish around of its rear, let out a reeking smog like fart that hurtled straight towards Sadaharu. Unfortunately for it, the wafting smog cloud did little to dissuade the Snubbull. Missing entirely by not even reaching half as far as the distance between them, Abyss let out a panicked yelp. All of Catherine's Pokemon were now spoiling to finish this. Agilely springing to life, Piccolo had a mischievous chuckle escape from his lips as he bounded onwards and dabbed the remaining canine with a watery douse from its tail, leaving the dog sprawled out on the floor. Before Abyss could recover, Sadaharu went launching forward, keenly tired of this whole affair. The sooner it disposed, the quicker it could perhaps get away from all these crazies in the confines of its Pokeball. Whacking square in the head with a pummel, Abyss was well and truly out. There was no way in hell it was going to be conscious enough to tell the tale after that barrage. Triple Pack Battle

Astute as ever, the observant schoolboy by the name of Jimmy perked his head up now that the worrying burden of the Houndour had been removed. Having watched fervently as Catherine stepped in to defend his safety, the young child adjusted his hefty spectacles and did nothing to stop his drooping jaw at the victory over the wild savages. Given how speechless he was, it would be forgiveable to misjudge him as a quiet schoolboy. This was, however, so far from the truth it was unbelievable. Slowly waning his silence, the schoolboy rushed over to where Catherine was standing. " Wowohwowohwowohwowohwowohwow! THAT WAS AMAZING!" The boy's gratitude was almost overwhelming and it didn't stop there. " You were so cool! You came out of nowhere and went POW POW POW! Those Houndour didn't stand a chance... Wow! Amazing! Cool! Brilliant!" Bounding up and down with jubilation, it appeared Catherine had earnt herself an adoring fan. " How did you do that?! You took on all three like it was nothing...!" His excitement overstepping his manners, he coughed abruptly upon realising his mistake. " Uh oh... I forgot my manners. My parents would scold me if they knew..." Shaking his head with a droop, the school kid got round to his introductions. " I'm Jimmy! I thought i'd take a little detour home after school and... And... Yeah. I got attacked by those dogs! This doesn't usually happen so..." Perplexed as to their appearance, he sighed. " I'll have to find a new hangout. Maaaaan..." Looking at Catherine, he beamed happily. " My Pokemon are really grateful too!" Turning a little shy, the school trainer sighed. " I may be top of my class but i've never actually battled. All I know is from my textbooks." Looking to his side, he noted his Pokemon. " I bet these guys could be just as strong too if you raised them!" Getting over excitable again, an idea popped into the child's head. " I know! I KNOW! How about you take one of my friends and show them how fun battling is?!" [img]http://www.dragonflycave.com/hgsssprites/298azurill.png[/img]

This can be a sign of our friendship. You do wanna be buddies now right? Right? Hehehe, I never had a girl as a friend before...!!"  Jimmy hands you a Soothe Bell! Unfortunately, mostly thanks to Jimmy's overbearing enthusiasm, the Houndour pack had began to rouse from their unconscious states and were now making their mistake. Trying to make off discreetly, it was thanks to the Chingling by Jimmy's side who noticed their subtle retreat. Ringing its bell loudly to alert everyone's attention, the trio let out a surprised yelp as they unexpectedly bolted off in different directions. " Oh no! Looks like they escaped... I sure hope they don't terrorise anyone else." Looking a bit glum, Jimmy sighed. " I do wonder what was up with them though. For a wild Pokemon to attack like that... Something must have been bothering them." Letting out a hearty smile, Jimmy turned to Catherine with admiration and a slight blush on his face. " Maybe you should follow them and see what was up!"    The Houndour pack have bolted their separate ways! Would Catherine like to follow the left, centre or right path or finish her adventure here? |

And replaced moves accordingly.
Rubbing a finger underneath her nose with a sense of a proud aura floating around the girl, she emerald green eyes of joy closed momentarily as the final Houndour hit the ground with a thud. Remaining still and silent, Atlas rather bravely poked his head out from underneath the scarf, eyes widening at the sight of all three Pokemon down already. A cautious smile spreading over his face, it soon turned into a look of worry as he tried to catch the expression on Catherine's face, a held back, contorting smile wrestling across her cheeks. "WOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" She suddenly erupting in a fit of glee, jumping up and down in the soggy field whilst the rain continued to splattered all over the group from above... And Catherine now that she was waving the umbrella in all directions except over her. Spinning on the spot and posing successfully, the blonde was far too pleased with her own Pokemon's victory, her nursing instinct taking a back seat whilst she dashed forward to care for them.
Uncaring of the damp fur of Piccolo and he leapt up into her arms cutely, she held him tightly with a beaming grin. Cobalt flapped by her ankles, quacking playfully, whilst Sadaharu lowered his head with his usual grumpy exterior, just wanting to get out of the rain and away from this crazy girl. "You all did suuuuuuuuuuuuuch a good job! Heehee, I'm super SUUUPER proud of you! Ooh ohh, I bet you have all gotten super strong after beating up those naughty doggies!" Swaying on the spot, she reached a hand out to Sadaharu, who in return flinched back in fear somewhat. Though despite her childish appearance, the touch of her hand against his nose was a comforting one, stroking with a gentle touch of care and love. Something he wasn't used to, his body slightly loosening from his usual tension. A warm smiling spreading across her face, she truly was pleased. "Now, you guys can aaaall return for a little while! Sleep and rest well, we can hurry back over to Violet and train a little more for the... Gym! Yes, the Gym!" As multiple flashing went off of her Pokemon returning back into their Pokeballs, Catherine's ears perked up at the sound of the boy who had since approached her. Full of glee himself.
Happy that he wasn't a nervous wreck anymore, the young blonde giggled at his words. Receiving all these praising words was something she yearned for. Wanting to make people happy always was and always will be top priority for her. Raising a hand, she playfully ruffled his damp strands of hair, holding the umbrella over his head, "Jimmy?" Tilting her head slightly, she leant forward so she was more on his level of sight, wide emerald eyes blinking in intrigue as he explained himself. "I see... Well! As soon as you become old enough, you can see for yourself how amaaaazing the world is! Some day, you will be really strong too! Just remember to treat your friends with kindness and love, okay? It'll be your duty as a Pokemon Trainer!" Actually taken aback all of a sudden as he presented her with a few gifts, it was odd for such a girl to be at a loss for words. Looking down at the young Pokemon he had since released, her eyes trailed between each of them. "Are you... really sure? I'll take reeeeeally good care of them! I promise!" Settling on the Budew after a moment of uncertainty, she nodded her head, "This one! I'll raise you up to be big and strong! Then, when my journey comes to an end, I can come back to show you how much she had grown!"
Then if that wasn't enough, yet another gift was presented to her, something she had read about in a book back in Unova. "Ooh! Ooooooh! This is a Soothe Bell! W-WOW! They are so rare, how did you come across this?!" Accepting it regardless, she soon straightened her back and turned to see the three Houndour dashing off. Blinking as they escaped, atleast they wore no serious injuries. "They are fine, I'm sure of it. Just be careful where you play next time." Realising her serious tone didn't exactly suit her, she turned back to Jimmy and grinned, "But now, we're bestest friends! Heehee, I'll come back and visit you again, so carry on working hard, okay?" Bowing her head slightly, she moved past the boy, umbrella held over her head before suddenly pausing. Turning back towards him, she grinned warmly, "In fact, let me walk you back home just incase, okay?"
And Jimmy was never seen again...
- End -
