Ricki Crystalthe Ice Queen
"Rgh!" For the third time, Ricki kicked the ground...unable to understand how this could happen. Just her luck, the movesets that Pokemon uses to learn attacks...has been updated, thus making it impossible for Edna to learn fire attacks right now. Just...how does that even work? Shouldn't she get the attacks right now when she leveled? This is just complete bull!! She needs to find a fire TM, or at least get her to evolve so she can at least be a decent fighting type...and the one group she knows who have all the stuff you need to become the most powerful trainer is Team Rocket.
In order to join them, you need to get the first badge then meet them somewhere in Violet City. All they do is just steal Pokemon. It's not like they kill people or anything...right? Right. She just need to do some stupid task should she join them, get a fire TM, and be done with them. Simple enough.
But right now, she'll continue her trail, hopefully find some good Pokemon around this field...or at least beat them up to make her Pokemon stronger. After all, they're just stepping stones to make it to the top.

Quite opposite to Ricki's mood the people and pokemon on Route 30 was quite cheerful and enjoyed the day fully. It was the first day in what seemed like months with nice weather as the city had been held in the grip of horrible and troubling weather for far too long, it was about time they got some pleasant days after all those thunderstorms and flooding they had experienced lately. It seemed like everyone was out and about, as the people of Cherrygrove City were going on picnics and strolls on the route while the wild pokemon just enjoyed their day outside without getting soaked. Ricki would almost had to zigzag to move down the road to avoid bumping into other people. A caterpie was making it back home after a visit to a neighbor who had had the cutest young ones who had just hatched the day before, and the bug type was filled with happiness and hope for the future. New kids always brought happy thoughts, while life might be tough out here there were a lot of joy too and this caterpie was dreaming of starting a family of its own, although it might want to try evolve first, since it then would be better at providing and protecting its babies. The bug was so lost in its own dreams it didn't notice Ricki before it was almost right in front of her. It blinked surprised and then bowed its head in a friendly greeting and backed up a bit to let her pass. Caterpie [lvl 5] doesn't think anything can destroy its mood this fine day.

Ricki Crystalthe Ice Queen
There are times that she wished the weather matched her mood, because she felt that this sunlight was mocking her. It's like 'Hey, I'm happy and sunny and you're a moody angry girl who missed her chance to have a fire attack. So nyah'! If she could, she would destroy the sun. But ugh, look at her thinking of something stupid and crazy like that. She just needs to catch or beat up some Pokemon to take out her frustrations.
Though she could go without the stupid worm nearby. They're such weaklings, and even their butterfly forms are weaklings. But...a fight's a fight, and EXP is EXP. Some of her Pokemon could use the training. "Let's go, Ashni!" Tossing out a Pokeball, she released her baby sheep. At the very least, this Pokemon has some decent attacks, especially the Magnet Rise. That'll come reaaaally handy against ground-types.
"Time to walk all over it. This will be your first battle...I think. Use Shock Wave!" Did she battle with this Pokemon? It felt like forever since. Eh who cares about the details? She's going to train this little fluff-ball. She better be useful or she swears to Arceus...

The caterpie didn't see it coming at all, it was having such a good day it couldn't be any better. The humans were rarely interested in it anyway, and it hadn't seen any pokemon around her, so it expected her to be of the kind who were not interested in pokemon and who would just go past it the moment they realized it wasn't interested in a fight. When it straightened after its bow it was surprised to see a mareep had appeared, and it bowed to her as well. "Isn't it a wonderful day?" It asked her jovially, expecting just as peaceful answer in return, "I have seen the cutest hatchlings, it's such a shame they are all going to grow up before you know it," It chuckled and waited for the human to pass. A tiny little worry wormed its way into its heart as Ricki didn't just walk past but stayed, and the way the mareep was placed between it and the trainer did remind it a bit about battles, but that couldn't be right. Not on a day like this when everything was about new life and dreaming about the future! It crawled a bit backwards and nodded with its head in a gesture that made it clear they were free to go past. Instead they attacked it. The electricity snapped through the air and the caterpie reacted more by instinct than by clear thinking, and it leaped forward and knocked the legs away under Ashni, sending her to her knees. The caterpie was shaking, both from the mental shock and from the more physical one it had recieved. It shooked its little body and cleared the remaining electricity which had tickled its muscles and it turned to stare at Ricki and Ashni. "What did you do that for?!" It demanded to know.

Bleaugh, this be a waste of time beating up a pitiful worm if her sheep didn't need the EXP. Just what kind of Pokemon are here, she wondered, as she checked her Pokedex. Just some Caterpies, a Mareep, which she obviously already has...ugh, Bidoof and Hoppip and...ohhhhh, a Ralts! Now that's a Pokemon she could use. The male form which is a psychic and a fighting type is nice, but the ever-popular Gardevoir...a psychic AND fairy type? Now that's a Pokemon she could use against dragon types. If she could find Mega Stones for it, she'd be unstoppable! Well, that's settled. As soon as she deals with this little pest, she's going Ralts-hunting.
"Baaaa!" The sheep growled at the Caterpie, not caring that the bug was feeling assaulted and threatened. Well...at least Ashni should feel it doesn't care. Her trainer had that type of feeling, who just wants to fight and win. So she can't let her down. "Baaaa!!"
Well this was taking too long. "Hurry up and end that thing. One more Shock Wave should do it."

The small green caterpillar’s short two-pronged red antennae twitched as its eyes narrowed in frustration. It stared the big, wooly blue sheep with her pronged black-and-yellow stripped electric ’ear’ nodes on each side of her head with an angry and hurt expression. All it wanted to do was exist and allow the human and her Pokemon to traverse the route as they pleased while it enjoyed its day. The bug type Pokemon had even tried to be friendly and hold a conversation with the sheep. “That was mean!” The small larvae cried out as it stood up high on its last two legs and shook its body back and forth in the air. The Caterpie then plopped back down in the tall grasses, disappearing, and blending in with the long blades. It charged at the Mareep through the green grasses. The swaying of the blades of grass that would normally give away the caterpillar’s location mixed with the swaying of the grasses in the gentle breeze of the temperate day’s mild weather. The bug would shook out of the grass and tackle the Mareep, whose electrified wool was still charged with energy while it waited firmly for the right moment to shook off its attack. “You’ll pay for that attack! I hope a swarm of Beedrill chase up and down this route until you can’t run anymore!” The Mareep fired off the beam of bright yellow electrified energy at the Caterpie and landed a critical hit, having built up so much energy inside of her wool. The small green caterpillar cried out from the pain as it staggered backwards, before falling over in the tall grasses and fainting from the harsh attack. It was just much too strong for the little bug type to withstand and succumbed from the second attack nearly instantly. Ricki could choose to catch the weak little worm if she wanted, since she did not yet have the Zephyr badge. If not, a swarm of Caterpie would come scoop up their friend and disappear in an instance with the fainted carcass.

"Fah. You shouldn't have had that much trouble, Ashni. I expect better work next time," she frowned, recalling the sheep. At the very least, Ashni got some good EXP, but against a weak bug like a Caterpie, she should've knocked it out with one hit. But now that's out of the way, it's time to find a Ralts.
BON!!
Tossing out a pokeball, she released her cloud-winged bird, Cloud the Swablu. Just one of the Pokemon given to her from her dear mother. A bit of a cutesy Pokemon, but it does evolve into a dragon, so...a dragon is a dragon Pokemon. "Cloud, I want you to take to the sky and find a Ralts."
The little bird nodded before it flew into the sky.
With her Swablu searching from the air, Ricki searched through the grass, into the woods. A Pokemon to take out those pesky ghost/dark types is a huge must. From what she heard, ghost/dark types had no weaknesses until fairies arrived. Heck, fairies are a dragon's nightmare. Since dragons are known for their power, a fairy type, added with psychic, would be very handy to have.
Of course, there is her Torchic's lack of fire-moves. There is no way Edna will have that pathetic weakness. The only thing she can think of is find Team Rocket, but they don't take anyone who doesn't have a single badge. That'll be a while, but maybe she can persuade a grunt if she could find one.

Such a warm and temperate autumn day seemed to beg the Pokemon of Route 30 to crawl out of their usual hiding spots and play with each other along the open route. Cute pink Pokemon floated in the breeze and seemed to hop up and down on the air currents. They would spin around in delight as they drifted, changing directions with each gust of wind. When they noticed the chestnut haired lass, they panicked and immediately used their powers to help push themselves so that they would float far away and straight up disappear. Another Pokemon found itself enjoying the warm weather and gently rolling breeze of Route 30. It had small, beady eyes that blinked and stared at the world with a wide, goofy grin. The large, round head popped up out of the water and searched around curiously. “Quaaa?” It swam over to the water’s edge and crawled out on its four legs. The large aquatic Pokemon shook itself, shooting bits of water in different directions as it sprayed the brownish-green grasses and wildflowers that surrounded it. The Quagsire would then push itself up to stand on all fours as it began to walk over to Ricki and used one of its finned arms to point to her curiously. “Siiirree!” It purred then pointed to itself for a moment. It would then scratch its skin with one flesh and as it did so three random items fell down on the ground. “Quaggsiree Quuaagg! Siirree!” And pointed down to the items on the ground. A Wild Quagsire has appeared and dropped some items! It’s offering Polished Ball x2 & Oran Berry x1 to Ricki! The Quagsire would keep repeatedly pointing to the items and then to Ricki as it tried to convey that these items were specifically for her and nodding its head approvingly at her. Another Pokemon, angry and upset that a trainer was getting all these items and not it, rushed out of the tall grasses and ran up towards the girl with a loud and aggressive cry. With a small gust of wind, however, the pink Pokemon - that was much braver than its flock that had ran off earlier - would float up into the air, then back down on the ground. “Hooppp! Pip! Hooppip Hop! (Hold it! Stop! Those are mine!)” It challenged. A Wild Hoppip [Level 9] is challenging Ricki! It’s challenging over the rightful claim to the items. Shiny Check:AJQc5Au51-421-42

"Hmmm..." Ricki glared at the pink creatures being carried in the wind, with Cloud sailing towards them. She shook her head, signaling her bird to forget about them. Those weak little weed balloons weren't worth the time to try to catch them so high in the air. She can't waste her energy when she should save it for a Ralts, which unfortunately, she still can't find. Maybe she can use-
"Hm?" And then she heard some splashing. Snapping around, she spotted a dopey Pokemon just staring at her from a nearby water. When it came out, Ricki blinked in shock. A Quagsire! Already?! Those things easily tricks n00by trainers to using electric types. It be perfect for----wait, hold on. She read that these Pokemon, for some reason, are restricted from being captured by the police. Well, whatever. She didn't want it, any-
And then the weird Pokemon did something weird...it left her some...stuff. Some...gifts? It was...giving her some...gifts? Granted they're just mud and berries, but still, it gave her this. Why? Pokemon don't...give people things. They fight out of pure animal instincts or run away like cowards.Why would it give her this? She...she hasn't...done any...
"Huh?" Hearing angry cries, Ricki spotted one of the Hoppip swooping toward her to do boldly harm. Ah, that's better. She almost got scared there that her perspective on Pokemon life, and in general, got threatened. "Cloud, get down here and use Peck on this joker!"
"Caw!" Hearing his trainer's call, the bird performed a loop to dive back toward the ground. Swooping away from the ground, he flew right for the hovering plant, beak first.

Hoppip is caught off-guard by a Peck to the undercarriage, causing them to pop up like a balloon and go flying straight up, wailing all the while. Cloud circled back to his trainer's side. But Hoppip, determinedly, floated down again on its propeller. The blades stopped turning briefly to tap into that reserve of sun energy, becoming visibly flush with bright-green chlorophyll, as Hoppip dipped down towards the ground. They kept their distance from the Swablu and his trainer, maybe reconsidering their approach. There was clearly something astir behind those dot eyes, anyway, The Hoppip's speech sounded like a couple bird-like babbles to Ricki's ears but it managed to reach out to her partner coherently. So... you're pretty tough. Let's split the loot. You get a ball, I get a ball? And the berry? Bartering came after anger.

Ricki scoffed, noticed when the Hoppip healed itself. And there's only one way it could. "Hmph. How cheap."
Synthesis. Just a move to delay the inevitable. This may take a little longer than she liked to deal with. She could stop that nonsense with Sing, but that has a lousy accuracy, and who knows how long the little weed will stay asleep. Well, it can't keep at it for long, not against a move that's super-effective as Peck. Strange how aggressive this Hoppip is, who are normally cowardly. She wondered what railed it. Maybe it wants the berry? Makes sense. Food, and all. But what the heck it's gonna do with mudballs? Maybe soak in it? Well, plants and soil and all, probably. She's no gardener.
"Alright, give it another Peck, and this time, make it a good one!"
The egg-shaped bird nodded before flying to the air. He made a loop to swooped down and aim his beak right for the grass-type, once again.

Quagsire kept to the side as the Flying types tussled, though they certainly didn't look away. For a split second, as the trainer cast over them an scrutinizing eye, the Hoppip let their hopes up that Swablu was willing to listen. Instead, they crossed the distance in one beat of downy wings. Hoppip couldn't catch wind fast enough: caught off-guard and heavy in the side by Swablu's beak, they were punted off, wheeling and wheeling around midair, before finally landing on the ground with a defeated whine, their leaves collapsed to each side.

Quagsire weren't emotive creatures. This one followed the Hoppip with its beady black eyes and didn't react for maybe a beat. But when it did, it sidled away from its wallowing pool, over the grass to where Hoppip collapsed. Hoppip was too tired in the moment to realize it: they dropped the oran berry in front of them. Then, Quagsire turned around and motioned to Ricki with floppy hands. They slunk down, quadrupedal, and nudged the other bounties (two polished clumps of mud) in her and her victorious Swablu's direction. It might not have been much in terms of usefulness but both sides had done their best, hadn't they? That said, as nonchalant as Quagsire had been in distributing the items, this looked to be their final say on the matter as they started to march back towards the water. Ricki could settle for two Polished Mud Balls, but it's also not like Hoppip can defend that Oran Berry...

Well that was...barely half a something. At the very least, Cloud got some EXP from that whole ordeal, and...well, that was it. But...while Hoppips are weaklings, this one had the...well, since they don't seem to have you-know-whats, she'll say it had some guts trying to take her on.

"Hm...?" Noticing the Quagsire, questions about why it was giving her stuff still hung in her mind. And why should she care. It's not like she's ashamed of her attitude. Life's cruel, anyways, and it'll stomp on you no matter how nice you are. Whatever. She's not going to look a gift-horse in the mouth. These little balls could fetch a pretty penny, anyways.

And her cloudy bird climbed back into the sky to continue his search.

Beyond the pond, but before the Route 30 fork that belied the road to Violet City and that attracted so many young-blood trainers for battle and community, the route fell away briefly. Ricki would find herself in a dell where the tall grass met the edge of the trees. Distantly, she might hear the sounds of friendly competition, kids pitting their new catches head-to-head and exchanging numbers, feeling like the training thing was bigger than themselves. But just distantly. Here, the grass went up to your waist and you could feel the eyes of hidden Pokemon boring into you, sizing you up, trying to tell if you were worth it. A cry from above. Cloud had found something promising. At the edge where the grass started to thin, a horn could be seen, bright pink. And a crown that stood neon green against the more natural tones of Route 30. "Catspie, come back!"The mystery Pokemon revealed themselves just as Ricki and Cloud were closing in on them. The grass parted and there laid a Caterpie. Unfortunately, a Ralts would continue to allude Ricki. Even more unfortunately, this common Pokemon's owner was bee-lining towards her with an eager look. "Hey, didja find him?" A boy with a wide-brimmed hat and a face-splitting, long-toothed smile hoisted the Caterpie into his arms. She didn't give Ricki time to react either. "Sorry for bothering you- I actually just caught Catspie this morning- he's not trained, he's actually going to get tagged and released back out into the wild- you see, I'm volunteering at the Azalea gym and my mentor is studying Butterfree breeding habits outside of captivity- it sounds complicated but it's actually really cool-!" "Wait, oh-my-gosh, if you're a trainer, we should battle! My Pokemon are itching to evolve soon. Here, let me show you Kafkuna!" Real rotten luck. Bug Catcher Wade wants to battle! He sends out his Kakuna [Lv 7].

Ugh, it looks like she was losing ground and getting close to the town. Look at all these amateurs, no doubt the kind of trainers that has two of the same Pokemon, or use a Pokemon and then its evolved form for some stupid reason. That's just so stupid, and why punks like these are amateurs. Hey, she studied Pokemon while she was in school, so she knows the ropes better than any dopey trainer around here. Well, she doubts that she'll find any Ralts with so many people around. "Ugh, whatevs. Cloud, return." Aiming her Pokeball high, she fired a laser at the flying bird, pulling him back into his Pokeball.
And just when she was about to head over to the town, some bug-catching twerp got in her way with his Caterpie. He probably scared away any Ralts with his carelessness. And now he dared to challenge her with his useless cocoon Pokemon? Who even came up with the 'if trainers' eyes meet, you must battle'? That's so stupid.
But a fight's a fight.
"Heh. You must be desperate if that's the only Pokemon you can use," she scoffed, bouncing a Pokeball on her hand. With little enthusiasm, she tossed that Pokemon forward...
BON!!
...releasing her Mareep, Ashni to face off against the Kakuna.
"Alright, zap that bug away with Shock Wave."
