That the weather had calmed down a bit seemed to be the only thing which was going to go Senchi's way, that and that their rescue was seemingly right around the corner. Hopefully they wouldn't die from cold before that, who knew how fast that help was going to come? Especially when a snowstorm-ish was terrorizing the area. The place was eerily quiet, the snow had a great ability to muffle all sounds but there also was no other human in sight, other than the strange shadow which Senchi followed in the hope of something company. It looked like he was all on his own, everyone else had probably decided to find shelter when the hail had pummeled the island. As Senchi lifted his head he'd see a pair of blue feet, and if he looked up a bit more a whirl of a stomach which ended with a pair of curious eyes. It tilted its body slightly as if it wondered what he was doing down there, then it turned and gestured for him to follow with its tail. It would look backwards several times to make sure he followed. It walked in the same direction as Senchi had been and soon they reached the old cabin Senchi had tried to reach. At the door the poliwag turned to him "Poliwag?" It asked and looked expectantly at him, and wouldn't let him enter before he had answered its question. One of Senchi's pokemon could easily put some light over the situation. "What's the password?" The poliwag asked, "only the correct one will open the door," it explained and then smiled mischievously, "I'll give you a hint, its not a word but a move and I'm the one knowing what is the right one." It would surely send something back at them, for every 'wrong' answer. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/poliwag.png) Poliwag [Lv 11] wants the "password" to let you in!

MOD NOTE: Itachi NOT IN ACTIVE PARTY in thread! ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- | Arriving from Palm Beach!
Soft white flurries fluttered down from the thick grey clouds that blanketed the skies. The howling winds that once chucked thick chunks of ice in long spirals slowed down drastically, bringing in calmer breezes that made navigation bearable. The young teenager placed one hand over his forehead and glanced up towards the heavens above. The sunlight that might have once shone down on the waking world remained hidden behind the cirrus and cumulus beasts of the heavens. He sighed, turning to his small Pokemon with a simple shrug of his shoulders, and contemplated staying out longer in the frigid cold tundra of the surrounding rocky poolside. How normal could soft ice crystals be for such a normally temperate and warm climatic environment anyways?
Zaiden scratched his head and pondered silently with self-doubts that seemed to cloud his senses. Would there be many wild Pokemon wandering around in the open with such freezing temperatures filling their terrain? They would find better shelter seeking out dug out tunnels or burying themselves underneath the sandy grounds in search of warmer spots. Should Zaiden use one of his Pokemon from his collection to dig through the rock and sand to try and find Pokemon who might have buried themselves? Would that even yield much of a result? He sighed, gritting his teeth, and studied the rocky poolside carefully until he spotted another trainer in the distance battling against a bright blue tadpole in the mix of snow and ice. Perhaps it wouldn’t be a waste, then?
No one wanted to walk around in the snow searching for Pokemon. The best times to convince yourself that it was worthwhile putting up with such deary weather conditions seemed to be when you could be mildly convinced that you could stumble upon some Ice Type Pokemon. What Ice Types did Zaiden really expect to find hidden amongst the rocks that were nestled against the gently lapping waves of the pool’s side? Shellder – to which he’d managed to get one of his own through a pretty fair trade with another trainer? Snorunt didn’t seem like the type of Pokemon he’d expect to come flourishing around beaches… And Zaiden doubted there were many Galarian Darumaka hiding themselves as false snowmen amongst the whitened terrain…
Zaiden jotted back and forth through the snow, creating long tracks that seemed to stumble over themselves. They looked twisted and deformed given how many times he must have walked over his own tracks. Some looked less like sneakers trekking through the white terrain and more like long lines being drug across the ground, as though perhaps a snake or something larger slithered its way through the Rock Pool. He wasn’t even sure what he was searching for or if he would come across it. He wanted to go home or at least back to the mainlands of Johto, though Zaiden had all but completely given up on ever seeing the mainland again.
Zaiden had managed to find several Pokemon around the poolside that he wouldn’t have normally stumbled upon so easily and knew that his luck was stellar given all of the Pokemon he’d managed to collect. Still, for a young boy whose dreams surrounded making as much as he could as quickly as he could to save his parents’ home and business, Zaiden couldn’t help but to want to press his luck and see what else lay out in the frozen tundra that was once a rocky tropical poolside. Shouldn’t he just find his way back to the shacks that they’d managed to find on the beaches? Surely that would help them keep most of cold off his shoulders and help him manage to stay in one thawed piece if or when help ever chose to appear… Zaiden would eventually sit down on a tall rock with a flattened top and place his head in his hands with a loud sigh. What should he do?

Matthew's fishing endeavors were done for the day; not enough fish biting anymore for it to be a fruitful endeavor. So for now, he was content with wandering and exploring some of this island that he had found himself on. It wasn't every day that one got to explore such a secluded island that lay off the beaten path. He would be remiss to not take this opportunity while it was available to him. So he had taken his Pokemon and opted to begin roaming through the brush of the island.
Coming up from the beach, he had found himself wading into a small rock pool. It would only go up to his ankles or thereabouts, but he recognized it for what it really was; the ideal locale for some of the local Pokemon to hide within and call home. What kind of Pokemon lived in a place such as this, he wondered? He doubted he would find anything too ground-breaking or earth-shattering, but still, there was a chance he could find something interesting to take with him on his adventures. So he rolled up his pants legs, removed his shoes, and carefully began to wade through the shallow rock pool.
Upon his shoulder, Eleanor the Pichu squeaked into his ear. "What are we looking for? New friends? Someone to fight?" the Pichu punched the air as if to illustrate her point, though she quickly began to wobble and found herself gripping onto her Trainer's shirt to re-balance herself. Matthew didn't really answer the Pichu, considering he didn't entirely understand the Pokemon and the fact that he wasn't entirely sure what he was looking for himself. Something to practice against? Something to take with him away from this island?
((OOC: Matthew has come to the Rock Pool, looking for a Wild Encounter.))

Things had become strange on the islands, ever since the giant white "tree trunk" crashed nearby and the weird two-legs swarmed the area things hadn't been the same. It was not so much that some had disappeared without a trace, that was common in the wild, but the weather was acting very strange and the two legs affected the area in a way that none of the wild pokemon had ever seen before. There were also rumors that there were other big islands out somewhere in the ocean where they had come from and with pokemon even stranger than the ones which had been brought with the two legs. Some liked the idea and found it thrilling, while others just wanted to go back to the known old peaceful ways. The two (or technically three) 'mons whom Zaiden and Matthew encountered didn't care much about all the changes, they just tried to adapt to it and get the best out of it. They had quickly learned that the snow was just cold but made it harder to find food, so they had to spent much more time on that than usual. The poliwag brushed the snow and the hail which remained on the ground away with its tail while the binacle watched. Whenever the poliwag found something the two-who-shared-a-rock came bounding over to dig it free, most of the time when they did found something, it was frozen. They were arguing about what to do with what they had found, when a pair of two-legs appeared, and they paused to look at them. One sat on a rock and sighed, while the other chose to wade through the ice cold pool water with ice chunks floating around from the recent hailstorm. They clearly had no problem with the cold whatsoever. A bit of more arguing and then the binacle lead the way closer. "Hey, you like to battle right? If we battle you, will you give us food or warm this up?" One of the binacle's hand-like heads called out, while the poliwag followed more skeptically. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/binacle.png) ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/poliwag.png) Binacle [Lv 11] and Poliwag [Lv 11] are attempting to gather food for dinner.

Matthew watched as the net-covered ball sailed through the air and opened, consuming the living barnacle in a bright flash of light before falling into the tide pool. The ball shook as it floated in the water, before he could fear the faint telltale click of a confirmed capture. With the Binacle claimed as a new member of his team and the Poliwag claimed for the boy named Zaiden, Eleanor happily rushed over to grab the Net Ball. She struggled to carry the large sphere, though Matthew met her halfway and took the ball from her, patting her on the head before lifting her back up to sit upon his shoulders. "Nicely done, Eleanor. Knew I could count on you."
The Pichu beamed at the praise, while her Trainer turned his attention to the other young man present here. They hadn't had to do any actual fighting, but it had been a nice change of pace to work with someone for a change. But, he had limited time here on this island. Rescue and retrieval were imminent, after all. So as much fun as it might have been to work with Zaiden more, he thought he would have better odds of finding a good encounter if he went off on his own. Even now, he could already see the faint sign of large bird-like Pokemon approaching the island; likely the first of many come to retrieve the survivors of the sunken ship incident.
"Appreciate the company, but I'm gonna keep looking around for something to train against. Follow if you want, or stay here for your rescue. Was a pleasure doing business with you," he said, offering the boy his best attempt at a friendly smile before rushing past the boy. He and Eleanor were going to keep digging through the rock pool and its area, moving aside some rocks to see what they could dig up before they were forced to depart.

MOD NOTE: Shurumu NOT IN ACTIVE PARTY in thread! ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- | Arriving from Palm Beach!
Zaiden watched the blue orb with thick black netting over the top of its dome soar through the air with bated breath. He’d been a good aim majority of the time, and as he practiced in the midst of his countless battles he knew that his skills were slowly improving over time. However, it always seemed to be the moments when you believed the hardest that you would succeed that life would tap you against the head with a quick reminder of its hard realities. You’re always as good of a shot as you think you are. And even when you’ve basically mastered a skill, there’s still room for improvement.
The tiny blue tadpole couldn’t struggle against the might and strength of the spherical capture device. Itachi paused for a second and blinked profusely as he tried to understand the two ‘opponents’ he was sure must have been worthy adversaries. Why did they speak in such an odd fashion though? Had they never heard of the Ultimate Fight that would befall Pokemon kind?! Itachi knew in the pit of his heart that most Pokemon wouldn’t survive the fray. They weren’t built like Fighting type Pokemon and simply lacked the true muscles and stamina that defined his typing. But could they really be that clueless? “I am not looking for an ordinary battle. I am looking for a battle worthy of my strength and skills!” He hurrahed himself. Itachi nodded towards the brave electric mouse approvingly. “At least they gave me a worthy ally.” He added with a smile.
Though, as Itachi prepared to leap into action, the strange ball soared just past him and scooped his opponent up. It caused the strange ermine to drop to the ground and slam his hands against the sides of his face. How dare his trainer simply use him as bate!! Did he not trust Itachi’s strength and skill?! Did he not understand the true weight and power that Itachi’s tiny paws held inside of their grasps?! Was he so blind by his own foolish ambitions to only see something he could just collect – like stamps for a postcard scrapbook?! Itachi puffed up his cheeks and skulked away from Zaiden angrily shaking his head. “Human! Do not undermine my skills!” He chatted away, causing Zaiden to laugh as he recalled his Pokemon. “Pretty vocal, huh?” He commented softly.
When Matthew mentioned that he wanted to keep looking around the area for everything else that he could find, Zaiden nodded quietly. He wanted the same thing and he preferred to do it on his own in quiet solitude. The anxious teenager turned away and walked in the opposite direction, carefully scanning through the massive pile of rocks that surrounded the poolside. “Pleasure!” He stated simply, albeit a bit awkwardly. As a sea of flying Pokemon – Corviknights, Pidgeottos, Fearows, and even a couple of Dragonite – soared overhead. “Oh…we better hurry.” Zaiden gulped. “Looks like our rescue team’s finally arrived.”

As the horde of flying type Pokemon made their way through the snowfall to start picking up survivors the wild Pokemon in the area started to celebrate that they would no longer be hunted to the brink of extinction by the ravenous visitors. As most of the wild Pokemon celebrated without making any violent moves towards the few survivors still searching for Pokemon two of them wanted to try and hurry the pesky humans along so they could continue to live in peace. Beneath two of the rocks a brave pair of Shellder waited to try and ambush the few humans as they hoped to snap their shells on the unsuspecting humans fingers. As they were about to make their moves however the rocks they were hiding under were kicked around right onto their tongues as they screeched out in pain before leaping towards the humans abandoning their plans to ambush them. The two Shellder might not have gotten their chance to snap any fingers today but they could still try and teach the pair of humans a lesson if things went their way. The two Shellder stuck out their tongues in a mocking fashion before hopping towards Zaiden and Matthew ready to strike any Pokemon the pair might send out. Only time would tell if the pair of Shellder would be successful in their plight to chase either human off but one thing was for certain, neither Shellder was going to run from this battle. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/shellder.png) ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/shellder.png) Shellder (Level 8) and Shellder (Level 12) challenge Matthew and Zaiden to a battle.
