"I don't see any signs of digging. Are you sure it comes from down there?" Hector asked Astrid, finding it hard to believe her suggestion that some pokemon should have pushed the big stone up from below.
"If it was it would have happened many years ago, there is even a sign," Astrid said and pointed at the half overgrown sign, which Hector ran to check out.
"I do not know if that was how it got here, but it is more likely than a pokemon dropping it from above. I do not know any pokemon big enough to lift something as big as that," she added and Hector abandoned the sign and grinned to her.
"Perhaps it was a legendary!" He said excitedly and Astrid chuckled.
"Or perhaps it was a glacier," she countered.
"A glacier?!" Hector said in disbelief. He looked around and shook his head, "There is no ice here, just trees!" He argued.
"It would have been ages ago! I know in some places in the last ice age, land we walk today was covered in ice, huge glaciers and when they melted they left behind big boulders like this one," Astrid explained with a laugh. Hector looked to believe her but was disappointed.
"I still think a legendary dropped it, perhaps it was Groundon? What if it wanted to make more land and wanted to drop it in the ocean but was stopped and had to put it down and take care of something else?" Hector imagined eagerly and blabbered on about how Groudon also would have made the nearby mountains and how the boulder perhaps had come from there.
Too engulfed in the talk they didn't notice the little white fluff floating around. Pidgeotto watched it curiously as it came closer and found it funny looking, until it suddenly realized it was a pokemon!
Hector spun around when he heard Pidgeotto's warning call and he looked around frantically.
"What? What is it?" He asked not seeing anything.
"I think it is the white thing floating around," Astrid said pussled and Hector looked up and frowned, "But why warn about that?"
Astrid liftet her pokedex and it jumped to life, telling them about the cottonee. Hector looked excited until he learned it was part grass type.
"Well, I guess we can battle it," he said a bit grumpily but then grinned when he saw how eager Eevee was.
"Alright Eevee, time to try something a bit differently. Wave your tail at it to get its attention and then give it a good Headbutt!" Hector ordered and Eevee sent him a weird look before she tried getting its attention by waving her tail around and calling out to it. Then she ran off to get a runup and used the boulder as a stepping stone as she leaped into the air.
"Woah! That was cool!" Hector exclaimed.
Astrid thought a bit worried if the cottonee even had wanted to battle but it would be too late now.

The warning call of the avian did bring the grass fairy's golden eyes up from the ground but it still continued lightly flapping its way over to the mossy rock upon which pidgeotto was perched. It was a slow float. It seemed all its lazy leaf flapping did was just keep it on course and didn't really speed it up much. Though, that did work in some favor for the furry fox on the ground. Eevee was successful in redrawing the wild pokemon's attention. The cotton puff was quick, nearly eager, to spin itself back to face the little one. It saw the waggle of tail. Cottonee chirped happily and made to flip itself head over heels in the air. There was a soft glow about it but otherwise the floating pokemon merely appeared to greet Eevee. Cottonee continued to intently watch the evolution pokemon as she moved, completely ignoring the other pokemon around the massive landmark. It didn't even seem to care trainers were about. As Eevee made use of the large boulder to gain some air in attempt to close combat the puffball hovering above, Cottonee grinned happily and whipped up a bit of a breeze. Sparkling energy began encircling Eevee as she traveled through the air, almost... helping? It was a little uncomfortable as the dazzling beads lightly bashed into her thick fur but the current only aided in her reaching her opponent. She was easily able to headbutt Cottonee and the two toppled downward. The puffy pokemon's tone turned to more surprise as it fell. Collision with the ground wasn't anything of note, as it was just a big pillow, but it didn't look to happy to be seated on the dirty brush of the forest floor. Wild Encounter

Eevee yelped as she felt a push from behind and flailed as she picked up speed in midair! Had she been running on the ground she would have stumbled but here it just meant she smacked into the cottonee with a bit more speed. Her collision was no longer controlled and as she expected, so she dropped like a stone to the ground.
She got shakily to her feet and staggered a few steps, feeling the bruise from the fall.
"That was so cool! Great job Eevee!" Hector called out and she grinned to him and shook her fur with renewed energy. She could do this! And the better she did she was certain she would be able to handle those pesky grass types much faster than she was now.
"I'm going to win! Even if I only can tackle you!" She called out to the cottonee and didn't really care if it had wanted to battle in the first place or not. She had fun and all grass types was so slow and boring anyway, sitting around and sunbathing all the time, or in this case, floating.
"Show me what you got!" she challenged and jumped forward before Hector got a chance to give her an order.
"Best continue with the.. oh.." Hector trailed off as Eevee raced at the fluffy pokemon with her head lowered.
"That's right! That's how to do it!" He called out to her but sounded a bit hesitant. He had been told plenty of times the trouble which come with pokemon who didn't want to listen to orders.
He glanced at Astrid.
"Do you think that's a problem?" He asked her quietly, since her pokemon did act on their own.
"She is just eager, I would not worry about it," Astrid said after thinking a bit.
"It would be something I would work on if she continues to do it, of course. In some battles you need to follow a strategy and you do not want her to lose a battle just because she is eager to show her worth!" She added and he nodded vigorously.

The cottonball made to get itself back to floating in the air, bobbing up and down ever so slightly as it kept itself afloat using its leafy appendages. It didn't respond to the eevee's bluster vocally other than a quiet chuckle. It did however grin widely and do a little bit of a twirl. At first it seemed like it was just aloof, however, it became clear it was a tactical motion very quickly. The eager eevee's aimed headbutt put her right right in range for its next move. Though it would certainly prefer not being headbutted, Cottonee had oriented itself to latch on as the attack came. With one big pillow soft smooch the grass fairy sucked a little bit of vitality from Eevee. It was very brief, as the force of the headbutt was quick to thrust the wild pokemon away as it had done previously, but it left a throbbing on the young normal type's forehead. Wild Encounter

"She is doing what is probably best to win the battle, so I do not think it will help ordering her to do something else, that would just be counter productive," Astrid continued their chat thoughtfully.
"So just let her do what she wants and then hope for the best?" Hector asked and Astrid took her time answering.
"If you want to check if she is listening or not, you could ask her something where she needs to answer you, and then give her the order to continue what she is already doing?" The old woman suggested and Hector lightened op.
"That's a great idea! Thanks!" He exclaimed and went right into trying it out.
"Hey Eevee! How are you feeling? Can you continue battling?" Hector called out and Eevee paused to look back at him and called out eagerly. She turned to face the cottonee again and Hector decided to give his order as fast as possible to do it before she acted on her own.
"Great! Continue with the Headbutts, you almost got it!" He shouted and Eevee sprinted forward.
Astrid smiled, the two was beginning to build a good partner ship, now they just need to come to terms with what form Eevee should get to evolve, as Astrid still found it hard to imagine her as an umbreon.

The eevee was turning out to be too much to handle. Cottonee was still curious about the furry pokemon though, and that appeared to win out over any fear of being captured or downed by the giant mossy rock. However that was not to be mistaken for calmness. The grass fairy was wracking its soft brain for what it could do to take a bit of that spring out of Eevee's step. The absorb hadn't done near enough, and it wasn't particularly interested in trying to simply attack the evolution pokemon. That left it with one option. During the normal type's little breather to respond to her trainer, the wild pokemon attempted to take advantage of her momentary stillness. A cloud of yellow hued spores dripped from its cotton fluff, and with a light encouragement from the leafy fans anchored at its side, the spores flowed through the air towards the eager eevee. But they were too slow. Despite the wide girth of the cloud Eevee had no trouble adjusting her path to narrowly slip underneath the mass then jump to land a final headbutt. The cottonee pokemon's vision went as white as its fluff as it was flung upward by the jumping attack. By chance a breeze had slipped through a crack in the canopy just in time, as if dipping down to pick up the lighweight cotton ball and carry it with it out of sight.
VICTORY!
 Eevee (Lipia) grew to LV 10 and gained +1 Happiness! (+3) She's trying to learn Quick Attack; forget an old move?  Lorenz watched studiously and grew to LV 14! (modifier applied) What's this!?! Lipia is trying to evolve! Allow it? If so, she can learn Razor Leaf; forget an old move? |
