What was she doing here again? A question she pondered all the way up to the desk and through the doors. Apparently she'd signed herself up for something while blackout drunk, but if that was simply the case she just wouldn't have shown up. Wouldn't be the first time. However, it was Goldenrod. It was home.
Lenore felt uncomfortable with the rest of her team being removed from her person just so she could step foot into the arena with all the other contestants, but she kept her cool. Now it was just her and Scarlet in the vast, beautiful park situated in her city. It had been her favorite place. A slice of well manicured nature just a short skip away from work. Lila used to love it here.
The dancer felt a pang of longing at the thought of her dear venonat. Someone she hadn't thought of since the start of her journey. But now... her hazel eyes scanned over the tops of the calm grasses hiding all manner of staged pokémon. As she awaited the call to begin trampling through the park with the others the woman absentmindedly ran a finger along the badge pinned on her chest. She had promised Lila she would make something of herself before returning here... and she wasn't going to disappoint. She washed down her grief with a cocky intake of fresh air, her mind flashing to the bright red R of her latest associate. She was ready.
The announcer gave the word and the contestants were off. Lenore wasted no time in making a graceful jog further into the park, calling out her fletchling as she stepped foot in the first sea of grass.
"Time to get scouting handsome," she smiled at the fire bird.

No sign of any venonats yet. The grass rustled and something.. shimmered? The patch that was undisturbed and missed by all the rushing trainers. A little head poked out as it looked around, powders dusting from the two little spores on its back, catching the sunlight. It froze as it realized it had went out of its hiding spot a bit too fast and there was no way Lenore could avoid not seeing it now. Shiny: Mbjx1xRC1-421-42

Scarlet chirped in reply to his instructions, giving no indication of acknowledgement of the dancer's wink proceeding the request. Lenore watched as her little exotic bird rose into the sky, the morning sun glinting beautifully off of the fire red feathers circling the fletchling's head. It almost looked a little funny with all the rest of the bird's coloring, but she had seen pictures of Scarlet's evolution and couldn't deny the graceful ferocity of such a sleek avian.
She sighed as she began to wait. Arms folding under her breasts as her eyes lazily brushed along the park trails left by the careless competition.
"Ugh, what little monsters," she mumbled to herself, a flicker of disgust showing. Not that she was too much better honestly, but Lenore wasn't going to look behind her to judge that.
Something caught her eye as she looked about, causing a double take as she thought she'd seen something bright and shiny. Her breath caught in her chest for but a moment before the sight of the plain orange parasite registered in her view. Scarlet noticed it too, tweeting a few times and lowering himself to hover just off the side of the wild pokémon.
"Hmmm..." she pondered, gazing at the mushroom laden bug with a look of scrutiny. Her mouth had skewn to the side in thought but it was brief. "Nope. Doesn't look like a winner to me hun, take care of it with a quick peck."

The paras covered in the grass as the shadow from the fletchling crossed over it and then it hovedet beside it. It still seemed to hope to not be discovered if it just kept still, perhaps they would find it boring or think it was just a mushroom and move on? They didn't and it screamed when Scarlet's beak bore down into its soft skin, and then it blacked out. That was easy.  Scarlet grew to level 17! He can learn Flail if he forget something else. He also gains a happiness point. What is this? Scarlet tries to evolve! Will you allow that?

"Nicely done! Though, you could've used a bit more flare," the dancer commented with a little smile toward her tiny robin. She missed the slight indignation shown by her fletchling, making to turn and continue along with her business in the park. But Scarlet wasn't going to let that go. She wanted more flash?
A bright light erupted by the trainer, drawing a few eyes Lenore's direction. For but a second she was surprised, but that quickly turned into an eagerness as she watched the transformation of her bird. When it was all finished she went to her firebird and hugged him. His body was warm. Very warm. But in a comforting way. The large bird momentarily resisted but the words she spoke next made him decide it was allowed.
"You're gorgeous!"
She brushed his feathers with her soft hands a few times before releasing her hold. He gently jumped into the air and ascended a few feet, hovering nearby in expectation of Lenore's next orders. They were still in a timed contest after all. It was hard for the ex-showgirl to take her eyes off of her new, sleek fire type though. Even as she told him to get to scouting for their next encounter she just stood and watched for a moment before taking in a deep refreshing breath and following behind.

At the first sight of something other than grass and bush Scarlet gave the signal then began circling overhead. Lenore, having already been looking skyward more than where she was going, wasted no time in turning her gaze to the shorter grass where the den was located. The bright white body of plump grub was easy to spot. It looked very healthy, perhaps even pretty strong with how large it was.
Her hand had already slipped around one of the sport balls she'd been handed, but the fletchinder's signal to her had also been a signal to it. Did she want to try and capture it?
"You do look like a strong boy..." she muttered to herself, hesitating as she observed the grubbin beginning its retreat to its hole. "But I already have one of you."
"You're up Scarlet!" she called, relaxing her hand and preparing to sit back and watch what new tricks her evolved bird had learned.
Scarlet broke into a dive toward the bug pokémon, though even with his aerodynamic speed it'd be a trick to head off and prevent the grub from escaping into its hole. So, the fire type decided some elemental deterrent may be in order. Building up a flicker of flames the fletchinder sent forth a thin speckle of fire toward Grubbin.
(( Using Ember ))

The grass in front of it caught on fire and convinced it, it stood better chances standing its ground and fight. It spun around, jumped and clamped its pincers around the fletchinder's belly since that was what it could get a hold on. Not for long though and it dumped back down on the ground again. (Edit: Jep, Eviolite was forgotten, I have corrected it. I'm clearly too tired at the moment, hehe)

"Magnificent," the side-lined dancer muttered to herself. She was completely transfixed by the sleek new form of Scarlet. His colors were striking, actions smooth, and now he actually had a fire move. She quietly clapped and bounced on the spot, eagerly awaiting the victorious return of her pokémon. Surely he'd make quick work of the bug and then she could give her bird a congratulatory pet.
Back onto the battle field Scarlet swiftly dislodged the grabby grubbin and made to hover a little higher. The ember had done its job exceptionally well, and despite the pincers slipping about his form Lenore had seemed very happy with what the fletchinder had done. The ember pokémon decided it would be true to its species name and do another.
(( Using ember again. Also I think Scarlet's Eviolite was missed. ))

The Grubbin took stock of the Fletchinder flying just out of reach, and backed up to get a bit of run up. It was risky, but it had to take chances here, especially considering the small wall of flame that was the alternative. Of course running face first into the spit of embers that erupted from its predator wasn't very wise either, but it struggled to endure the hit and managed to jump up to take a real bug bite at the bird. Maybe that would make the predator think twice before coming at it again.

The evolved robin was beginning to feel overconfident. At first the sheer size of the pale bug made him worry he wouldn't be able to live up to the new expectations of his trainer, but after the great effect of his newest attacks there seemed no way he could lose. The more these thoughts grew the lower the fire bird got, allowing for the hefty grub to leap up and get another attack in. Scarlet chirped a warning, as if that would stop the already airborne grubbin, and tried to at least get the bulk of his body out of the way but of course it was too late. He realized this partway through and changed tactics.
The bug pokémon got a little bite in, dragging the bird down a little ways before he was released, but that worked into his adjusted plan. As Grubbin dropped into its landing the bird followed. Scarlet's beak was homing in for one final peck to finish this.

The strike was swift and true, and sent then grubbin slamming back to the ground, it scurried off and rushed into its hole out of danger. The fire bird was clearly the winner of this.  Scarlet grows 2 levels to [lvl 19] and gains +1 happiness. (49/58 HP)

Rapid clapping sounded the moment the grubbin was defeated. Even though it had managed to escape them, Lenore was pleased enough with just seeing her bird trounce his first opponent.
"You're so strong now!" she spoke as she made to pluck her flier from the air and bring him into her chest. The ember pokémon chirped his momentary annoyance at the handling, but was quick to settle once she got into a petting rhythm down his tummy.
"Now... We better find something worth winning this contest," the woman noted whilst taking quick stock of where they were. This time she wasn't going to have Scarlet scouting from above. No doubt his wings could use a short break and she figured they still had plenty of time to search for something good.
"Over there looks promising." The whispered comment was proceeded by the dancer getting back onto the nearest manicured path and then heading toward a nice patch of deep grass.

The mantis erupted onto the scene causing quite the surprise. Lenore yelped and jumped back, startled. Her grip on the bird loosened so Scarlet could slip out in a flash. His speed was really quite amazing compared to before. The ember pokémon didn't waste a beat as he zoomed his way toward the menacing scyther aiming for a peck.
