(bringing Einstein the Blipbug and Flit the cutiefly for this thread)
Lei came strolling into the Education Center's ground, she had just been passing but had gotten a glimpse of some few rather interesting pokemon, and when she learned it was open for visitors she certainly wouldn't shy away. There weren't much to see as she followed the path towards the main house, the pokemon she had seen before was well out of sight now and while it could have been tempting to just start hunting for them right away, she had spotted some guards around, so she was going on the safe side. As she got closer to the house it seemed like there were a lot of people around, it looked a bit like a public school to her, except there were all kinds of ages mingled with each other.
She spotted someone who looked to be someone who knew what they were doing and was in semi charge and made a beeline for them. "Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt but what is this place? What can you do here?" Lei asked curiously and would listen politely and pretend to be interested in whatever she was told. Honestly though, she was only interested in anything which could allow her to go looking for the pokemon around the area. Were they wild? Was it possible to catch them?
A black bird would rise from the roof of the house and Lei would miss anything she might be told at that moment, as she watched it flap away over the trees. She'd barely manage to keep the hunger out of her eyes. "Hm? I'm sorry, did you say anything?" She'd then would asked as she remembered she was surrounded by people, oh boy did she want to go chasing after that bird! From what she knew it was strong and was rare, it was the type of pokemon she wanted to work with and have on her team. And it was something she needed for the pokedex, she hadn't been able to find anyone whom she could buy one from, but again, she hadn't really been searching strongly either.

A gentle breeze tickled the long branches of the towering treetops as it blew across the estate. People were hustling in different directions – some seemingly teenagers while others were obviously in their early twenties or thirties. What the education center promised its studious of students was a wealth of knowledge buried inside of its walls. The impressively massive building stretched out for what felt like miles on the inside, with different halls leading in different directions, all lined with doors that led to hidden rooms. Teachers would brush past Leilani with a nearly silent yet polite smile and slight nod of their head as they hurried on their way to their classrooms, fretful that they couldn’t be late to their own lessons that they must teach. A few guides stood around the area, mostly grounds keep that also provided aid to those that had wandered into the estates and managed to get lost within its domain. One such grounds-keep stood near the edge of an immaculate flowerbed with large rose bushes blushing with bright pink and soft yellow roses set in its center. Stunning rainbow of tulips wrapped around the edge of the roses in a sea of reds, yellows, oranges, and purple hues. Just on the outer edge of the centerpiece were small white alyssum flowers that blinked their way into existence. As Leilani approached the grounds keep, she stood up and straightened her back and turned to face the new face. The confused posture, slow amble around the place, and strange sort of ‘do I belong?’ pacing was a dead give away that this person must be new. “Good day, young miss!” The grounds keep waved with a friendly gesture and beckoned Leilani closer. “Why, this is the Mizuma Education Center! It’s world-renown for its education and advanced studies! We focus on our field research at the estates. Are you looking to sign up for some classes yourself?”The grounds keep would wait patiently until Leilani had the proper time to make her intentions known. If she seemed shy or needed extra guidance on what all was possible, then the grounds keep would easily fill her in with a simple explanation. “Some of our students prefer to study in the halls. Some prefer to test their skills against our best and brightest pupils. And some prefer to learn through experience in our Penumbra Hills. The wild Pokemon in the hills can be quite dangerous at times as they’re as feral as you can get, but students and travelers alike are all welcomed at Mizuma Education Center!” She would assure Leilani with a gentle smile. Should the trainer mention her interest in adventuring in the hillside, then the grounds keep would offer to lead her in the direction of the hills. They were vast and seemed to climb upwards forever. Some of visitors have described them more accurately as small, wooded mountainsides than hills. Large ledges that were nearly impossible to climb over seemed to carve out different pathways, where thick swarms of trees jutted out in different directions nearly dangerously. “They can be difficult to navigate so we generally recommend you carry a partner that knows the move Cut. But if you’re careful, you should manage just fine.” She would add with a nod. Before Leilani would have the chance to get far, though, a large black bird would swoop down with its talons extended to snatch up a bright purple snake. It spiraled up high into the air while devouring its meal, before landing bravely in front of Leilani with a glare. “Murrrr Krrrooowww!” The blackbird hissed as it fanned its wings aggressively to try and intimidate Leilani. A Wild Murkrow is challenging Leilani! Level 10. What will Leilani do? Rare? 5AzWY7Pw1-10 1 yes, 2-10 no

Lei paused at the entrance to look in, and forced a few students to go around her as she couldn't care if she was in the way or not. This was definitely a school. Lei had been sent to one too, an expensive private one which could teach her properly, and while she hadn't minded it she had no plans on going back to study. The size of this school was impressive and she wondered who was behind it and why it was so big and popular, when she hadn't heard about it. It had to be run by someone rich, or an organization of some sort.
She spotted what looked to be a guide near the entrance and walked over to ask her questions. "Mizuma, huh?" Lei said thoughtfully to herself and noted that name down mentally. Could both be the name of a person and an organization but she wanted to figure out if it could be any useful to get to know better. "Not really, I am not good at keeping the focus on books," Lei said politely and thought to herself, how this could be world-renown when she had never heard about it. It was probably just something they said to sell themselves. "I just wanted to know what this place was, as the building is pretty amazing," she said appraisingly, "and then I was curious about what the use of the surrounding ground was," she added and gestured to the wilderness which surrounded the building. She lightened up when she was told the wild areas was for battling wild pokemon. "Are we allowed to catch them as well?" She'd asked bluntly. Granted, there was only one of the shadows she had spotted she was interested in, but her pokemon could use the training.
Lei would eagerly let the guide lead her in the direction of where she could start her training in the Penumbra hills. "I'll just have to do without for now," Lei said unconcerned, how hard could it be? "Soo, since this apparently counts as a class, what am I supposed to learn? And is there a test when I'm done," Lei asked and then paused warily, "does this cost anything?" She asked suspiciously.
Lei's mouth fell open when the sought after murkrow chose to hand itself straight to her. It probably didn't agree with her way of seeing it, but since she could battle it, it was basically just for her to take in her opinion. "What have you done to attract so many strong pokemon to this area?" She asked the guide as she pulled out two pokeballs. She released Flit who was quite surprised to suddenly be facing a rather hungry looking bird. "Flit! Stun Spore! Slow it down," Lei called her order but Flit was not going to let something like that get anywhere near him and he blew a pink wind at the murkrow in an attempt to blow it away from him. Lei gritted her teeth but threw the Nest Ball anyway, her pokemon wouldn't last long against the bird.

The grounds keeper nodded her head as they walked over to Penumbra Hills. She loved helped new arrivals, especially when they allowed their natural curiosity and unknown natures to fully immerse themselves into the experience and asked lots of questions. Normally, the grounds keeper would have spent her entire time working with the plants that surrounded the vast estates – especially the gardens and decorative flowers that enveloped all sides of the buildings along the carefully cultivated walkways. This also allowed her a chance to speak to another human being, which sometimes felt like a fleeting opportunity during her normal working hours. “Yes, it’s named after Mishu Mizuma, who opened the estates. She wanted to share her wealth of knowledge with others. I believe she also wanted to help other trainers understand how useful Dark Types can be and help to dispel some myths surrounding them. You’re allowed to catch any Pokemon you find in Penumbra Hills.” When Leilani asked about costs, the grounds keeper giggled and shook her head. “There are no costs associated with Penumbra Hills! You can battle and catch as many Pokemon as you like. The only time a staff member may step in is if you completely disturbed the natural balance of the hills. But…that’s very unlikely to happen. Be careful of the wild canines out there.” The grounds keeper would comment before turning back around and heading back to her flowers. As the clocktower bell chimed several times, announcing the turning of another hour, she knew that she needed to hurry off back to her work. Meanwhile, the sharp-eyed black bird’s watery tongue dripped with saliva as it landed on the ground. It kept its strikingly red eyes glued upon the small yellow fly that seemed to flit and flutter all around the area. The Murkrow’s thick, serrated salmon-colored tongue slipped out between its bright yellow beak and licked its upper beak from one side to the other. It had never seen such a decadent snack present itself before, and it was excitedly ready to snap it up. With a loud caw, the blackbird outstretched its large wings on either side of its body and lifted itself up into the air, soaring after its newfound snack. Hunger drove the beast. As flit whipped up a powerful, spiraling wind that seemed to glimmer with a soft pink sheen, the beastly bird would dive headfirst unafraid as it chased after the small insect. It pulled back as it neared and outstretched its sharp talons in hopes of scooping the small creature up into its sharp claws. However, the round winds would swallow the bird whole, ripping and tearing the Murkrow up from all angles, then spit it back out in one large chunk. Several severed black feathers shot out in different directions from the violent winds and fluttered back down to the ground around the contestants. The now slightly balding Murkrow rolled over onto its feet and pushed itself up. It shook its head, trying to regain its senses. What had its tasty little snack done?! It felt so weak – and the need to slip off to a safe retreat to rest swelled up inside of its chest. However, the hungry bird pushed that inner thought aside as it began to puff up its feathers and preen itself for a second. Then, the blackbird spun around and soared after the small bug. It pecked at it viciously, ready, and willing to rip Flit to shreds and swallow up the pieces. Though, its attack had been successful and landed on its opponent, a strange spherical device swallowed the bird up before it could rip apart its newfound prey to swallow it whole.

Lei stayed beside the guide as she lead the way to the wilds. Mishu Mizuma. She was either really rich or had some really good sponsors to run a place of this size, no matter the reason she could be useful to get to know better. The guide gave a lot of good information and Lei was surprised to see her go and leave her alone, she watched the woman walk away with regret. She had more questions, she hasn't been told how they had attracted the pokemon to the area and how it would be easiest way to met and talk with the founder of this place. She narrowed her eyes at the back of the guide, perhaps that was why she left so quickly? That she knew she was saying too much and therefore left to stop herself and not give out secrets?
Lei watched intently as the pokemon went at each other. Flit did not do as she ordered and her cutiefly better not be chasing this rare bird away! The murkrow fought against the glittering wind which Flit sent at it and she was pleased to see that it didn't discouraged the bird, instead it seemed like it became even more determined and not long after Flit lay beaten and bruised on the ground pinned by its claws. It made the murkrow the perfect still target and Lei had no trouble hitting it with a nest ball, she watched the furious wiggling intently while Flit slowly got back up on his feet again.
"Yes!" Lei exclaimed when the pokeball was successful and she strolled with swagger over to pick it up with a smirk. She was just great at this, a shame there weren't anyone around to see. "I'm sure someone could learned a lot by watching me," Lei chuckled to herself and recalled Flit. "I wonder what they think you'll learn by going around and catching pokemon?" She mused as she looked around, "or perhaps its more directed at the pokemon," she added. They tended to learn a lot by battling wild pokemon, but to herself it quickly became everyday and she doubted there was much she could learn from it. "But I'd like to know how they have attracted murkrows and such here," she said and smirked, "but that could of course be my goal to learn. A good place to start could be that hill this place is called after," she said and set out towards what looked to be the highest ground.

Leilani’s journey would carry her slowly up the treacherous side of a steep hill. Steep ledges jutted out in odd angles. Though some seemed rather easy to step up onto, many others required careful determination and skill to navigate around. Thick outcroppings of wild trees jutted out from the ground – with large and impressive oak trees surrounded at their base by smaller baby oaks that seemed to spring up from the ground in different areas. Many smaller bush-like trees would spruce up, cutting off easier treks and forcing the party to carefully navigate their way around. A large outcropping of trees enveloped them near the edge of a large cliff-like ledge. It would seem at a distance that it was nearly impossible to pass, as if commanding the team to turn around. Though, upon closer examination, a small space seemed carved out between two bramble bushes. It was evident that Leilani would need to persevere between the large bushes. Though, she would need to be careful to navigate her way between them unscathed. Thick, prickly limbs jutted out at all angles from the wild bushes, reaching out to ensnare anything that wandered too close for comfort. They seemed poised and ready to snap Leilani up within their grasp, and could easily leave small, healable scars on her arms and legs if she weren’t too careful. However, on the other side of the bush seemed to be a forest teeming with life. Many of the bright green spiders shrieked and skittered up higher into the canopy of trees. They would jump from branch to branch to disappear far off into the vast wilderness. Bright purple rodents zipped at high speeds through the tall wheatgrasses that reached up to tickle Leilani’s knees. Their skittering footsteps droned on like dull thuds, even though the wildlands mostly obscured their bodies from sight. One rodent crawled up onto a small boulder that would nearly rival Leilani’s height by being half her size. Many large rocks swelled up at its base. The purple rodent hopped up from each successive rock, until it managed to crawl up to the top of the boulder, kicking and screaming. A bright purple snake slithered around the base of the boulder, looking for an easy way to scale up its vast size. It wrapped itself around one large rock and pushed itself up, poised and ready. Though, as the bright purple snake struck out into the air, it would land empty-mouthed while the rodent easily hopped down on the other side and rushed through the thick undergrowth. The wild snake reared its head back. Its tail raised up into the air and it rattled the bright yellow scales that were collected at the end loudly. As its head spun around to stare at the trainer daringly, the purple snake unfolded two large fangs that dangled from the top of its mouth. The tail shook vigorously at its side, rattling a death warning to the trainer and any companions she may have brought with it. She was a large prey – something the snake had rarely seen within its vast domain – and it was currently sizing her up to see if she would make for a good meal. Though, when it searched for an exit, in case this prey was too strong, the snake felt trapped and cornered. If Leilani stepped closer then the Ekans would launch itself up into the air, striking out and hoping to sink its poisonous fangs into the girl’s flesh (if she didn’t react quick enough).

Lei set off with a good speed at the beginning but the hills proved to be wild with a big w, and it slowed her down a lot. Big, old oak trees were filling the place with the spaces between them filled with smaller sprouts. "I should have brought a pokemon who could cut this down," Lei grumbled to herself as pushed through some sprouts among the bigger trees and paused to look at the hill in front of her. Here it was possible for her to get up, the other side she had been looking at had been too steep. "Or Tarok," she added as the mudbray could have easily carried her through some of this, "but of course I hadn't expected to go on a trip today."She climbed a rather steep part and paused to catch her breath, she spotted what looked like a solid wall of oak tress ahead of her and she groaned. "Don't say I got all the way up here just to have to turn around."She was relieved when she stepped closer and saw the small space in between but crossed her arms and frowned. It would hard to get through and she would probably scratch her clothes so how could she avoid that the easiest? She glanced over when she noticed the pokemon rushing around on the other side, and in a flash of light Einstein appeared in front of her. "Push those branches aside so I can get through," Lei ordered and pointed, the weirdly big eyed bug hesitated but then crawled forward. Lei didn't avoid getting scratched entirely but it had surely lessened how much that Einstein had to take some of it. Well on the other side Lei noticed a movement on a big boulder, but it was just a rattata. An ekans slithered around the rock, which was just as boring and the rodent had no trouble dodging the slow attack. The ekans turned to her. "Your prey went that way you idiot," Lei said and gestured at where the rattata had disappeared, "get out of my way," she added impatiently, but it just showed its long fangs. "Einstein, get in there and get it away," Lei said and watched the small bug crawl forward and call to the snake. Lei frowned, this battle could take ages, neither Einstein or Flit would be able to do much against this one, she had planned and hoped to mostly see dark types now that was the focus here. A poison type would resist her brought pokemon and she was pretty sure the recently caught murkrow wasn't going to very helpful here either. "So I have to either wait here for who knows how long, or waste a pokeball, great," she grumbled but the question was easy to answer. A blue and yellow pokeball was pulled from her bag and a moment later hurled through the air. When Einstein called out to the ekans she smiled nervously to it, "hi, are you really an ekans? Do you have time to answer some questions before you leave? My human would like to pass I guess, but I really would like to know, if it is true that when you evolve the patterns you get are individual?" she asked and wouldn't see the quick ball thrown before it was too late.

The long purple snake studied the small yellow-and-purple larva. Einstein looked strange and much more different than her usual prey. He seemingly stood in her way, juxtaposed between itself and the large human prey that the coldblooded reptile had narrowed its eyes on. It’s long, forked tongue slipped from between its scaly lips and flickered up and down in rapid succession as the Ekans tasted the air. “Preyyy….Move overrr for fooooddd!” It hissed as its stomach rumbled, turning its attention away from Einstein and his round of questioning. The rattlesnake landed just shy of its prey, trapped on the other side of the small bug that appeared and stopped it in its tracks. The rattlesnake would coil up with its head raised above the coils. It waved its head back and forth, as though it were sizing the jump over the small bug as it saw no threat inside of Einstein to make it stay focused on the bug. Then, something happened. The purple snake sprung into action once more, fully preparing to sail and clear the air over the head of the small bug before the round, blue-and-yellow ball bounced off the top of its head. A bright red light zapped the purple snake up inside of the Quick Ball, which would fall on the ground and roll around as the Pokemon struggled inside. Though, after only a few seconds, a proud ding would sound and let Leilani know that her catch was successful. The trees seemed to shiver as she managed to catch the purple snake. A heavy gust of wind wreaked havoc through the forested hillside, ripping at the long branches of the treetops. A weakened branch was yanked away from its refuge and cast down to the ground with a loud crash. It snapped, breaking into one huge chunk that would scatter into multiple smaller chunks as it landed on top of a large rock and rolled down to the grassy ground. Several something scattered through the tall grasses. Their trails could be seen jutting out in all directions, though most would disappear long before Leilani would have had the chance to chase them down. A loud howling sounded far off in the distance as if it were forewarning of something more dangerous and sinister. Would Leilani like to continue her trek in Penumbra Hills? SUCCESS!

Einstein shied away at the harsh words and backed away looking at the ground. "You.. you need to leave, my human don't want to fight you," she mumbled, keeping her eyes downcast, she had been ordered to get the snake to move away but how should she be able to do that? She had failed again, she only felt momentarily relief at the flash of light, which she with a quick glance reassured herself with really had been a pokeball. It was good her trainer could save the day, when she couldn't.
Lei watched the ekans closely, it seemed much more ferocious than Felhug and she didn't like how focused it was on her. Einstein had moved forward a little but as the snake hissed she covered fearfully and Lei grimaced. Stupid weak bug. Her Quick ball hit true, of course it did and as expected the ekans was caught. "You better bring me a proper price to make up for this," Lei mumbled and stepped over to pick up her expensive pokeball. She pocketed and turned to face Einstein just as the bug began to light up. "Well, that might make up for the pokeball," Lei said pleased as she looked at the strange new form of the dottler, "hopefully you are worth something now."
Einstein, now a dottler, tried to look at herself and found she couldn't. Was this the evolution she had heard so much about? How could that have happened? Wasn't she supposed to battle tons of battles and win them all? She glanced up at Lei who looked down at her with a little smirk, Einstein tried to push herself up more as something hung over her as if she was wearing a cap. A pokeball was pointed at her by Lei and she disappeared in a flash of red.
Lei looked up as a wind gusted through the trees, where had that come from? Down here though, it was so dense she didn't feel much of it, but she could see the treetops was pulled back and forth and a branch was pulled loose and fell to the ground. She'd have to keep an eye on the trees above her it seemed, she was much more interested in what it had chased up, although they scurried away before she got a proper look on them. "Probably just more rattatas," she said to herself to hide her disappointment, and smiled when she heard the howling in the distance, "find me if you can," she mumbled and looked at the hill in front of her, she was still trying to find the top to get a good look on this area. She wanted to know what they have done to attract so many rare pokemon, that could certainly be useful for her later on. She began the climb.

The rough terrain of the hillside, carved out by steep ledges and densely packed trees, seemed as unforgiving as they were difficult to navigate. Several green bugs scattered through the trees, leaving behind thick webs in their wake. These webs stretched out far and wide, clinging between the branches of neighboring trees. Some would dangle just in the girl’s way. Though she could possibly bend and duck underneath a few, several of them would require their removal (or accidentally walking through them headfirst) to continue on her trek. The tall grasses held a soft golden hue the further she climbed up, creating a colorful field where bright greens danced alongside the soft golden wheatgrasses in a symphony. Something chattered underfoot and rushed past her. It spun around and rushed off towards the left side of her where a small thicket of small saplings that barely clung to live shot up, nearly blocking a pathway that used to exist. Her current path would still carry Leilani onwards further into the heart of the hillside, towards a large outcropping of expansive pines and some beautiful wild magnolia trees. The bright white flowers decorated the large branches of the older trees in sporadic patterns among their dark green, large leaves. A small hole was carved out underneath one of these beautiful flowering trees. Though, upon wandering too closely, a large chattering would be heard almost like a war cry. The wild Pokemon would rush out from his dug out home headfirst into the fray. It paused just in front of the opening to its den and stood on its hind legs. The furry purple rodent’s bright red eyes narrowed down on the trainer as it twitched its whiskers as though it were trying to decide if she posed a threat. Then, it would ball its cream-colored front paws up and pound them on its creamy furred chest as it squeaked out loudly. “This is my home! My mate is inside with our young ones. If you do not leave, I will make you!” It’s tiny voice bellowed.

It was tough work, "it's so unkept, is that what the pokemon likes?" Lei panted as she struggled to get through some prickly undergrowth. "But why? What would they get from it?" She added and pushed away a branch which was hanging in the way, she paused when she got out on the other side to look around critically. "What does it give them? Probably plenty of places to hide but I can't see much food. Wouldn't it be easier for them to move into the cities with all trash like the rattatas back home?" Lei mused out loud as she remembered how much of a nuisance they had been. She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully and looked back the way she had come, not that she could see much other than the dense growth she had just pushed her way through, a wry smile crept in. "But they have a school with a lot of students, and lot of trash," she said slowly, "perhaps they even feed them to attract them for the education or what they are using this for." She looked up at the small blue spots of the sky she could see among the treetops, "and the rattatas are food for the other pokemon which hunts them. Clever. I wonder if they tell their students that."
The determined woman pushed on, confident she had wrestled some of this place's secrets from them. she flinched when something shot past her, but it was gone before she really figured what it was. "Probably a rattata," she mumbled to herself and didn't see the overgrown path but continued straight forward, up towards the top of the hill. The pretty colors of the grass and greens didn't catch her interest, nor did she care about what plants which grow around her, if she had known how they could benefit the wild pokemon and what could help attract them, she might have, but she didn't so to her it was just trees which was annoying to get around.
The magnolia with the white flowers caught her interest, those were beautiful on their own and she called out Flit. She took the plate from him and gave him some dust instead, there could easily be some grass types in that tree and then her cutiefly better hit them as hard as possible. "Go get me one of those flowers," she ordered and pointed at the tree, she followed a bit slower and almost stopped when she heard some loud chattering from the tree. Her eyes scanned it as she tried to pinpoint where it came from, it sounded a bit muffled. She held Einstein's pokeball ready and the dottler materialized the moment the rattata shot out of its hold. "Feisty one, it won't keep me from getting what I want!" Lei commented stubbornly to herself. "Einstein, keep that thing away from me and take care of it," Lei said dismissively but still retreated several steps as the rattata shot at her. "What are you waiting for Einstein! Get in there!" She snapped and when the dottler moved to stand in between her and the purple rodent, she looked towards Flit who had made it to the nearest flower and was busy sucking up nectar. "Hey! Flit! Stop that and pluck it!" Lei shouted to him.
Einstein fidgeted nervously and couldn't look straight at the rattata, "you are living here? Is it nice?" she asked and sent it a nervous smile and a quick glance towards Lei. "I.. I fear she wants me to battle you, and.. and the last one she caught," she warned, since the rattata looked so aggressive she decided to raise up a strange shield which could protect her a little bit.

Blood rushed through the wild rodent’s veins as it’s sharp red eyes stayed glued on the bug Pokemon that had appeared before it. Einstein was a strange creature unlike anything it had ever encountered in its wooded homeland. The strange, pointy-edged shell unnerved the furry purple mammal. The Rattata raised its head as its long whiskers twitched and it clicked its long, buck teeth together threateningly. “I will not warn you and your friend again! They are young and I will give my life to defend them!” It puffed up its chest and growled loudly as it dug its sharp clawed feet into the sands of the grassy earth underneath. Though the question caught it off-guard for a split second. "It is the nicest home I have ever known, and I will protect it!"The Dottler’s words meant nothing to the Rattata. But, Flit flying up above near the large white flowers that decorated the branches of the rodent’s home caused the Rattata’s heart to race frantically inside of its chest. It bounced up and down on its feet, zigzagging for a moment as though it couldn’t quite tell which enemy it was truly facing. “Are you both attacking?! My clan will annihilate you all if you mean to ambush us!” It warned as it drummed its tail against the ground with quick, rapid beats. Then, out of no where the Rattata would kick itself off of the ground and quickly work its way up the trunk of the tree. Though it only managed a couple of feet – possibly due to being ill-suited for climbing to begin with – it would use the momentum it gained to kick off the trunk of the tree and send itself spiraling haphazardly into Einstein. The Pokemon tumbled in a messy, tangled heap. Einstein tossed up a brilliant lighted display that seemed to shine in all directions and bounce around the area. The bright beams kicked through the tall grasses and bounced off a gnarly looking trunk of a nearby oak tree. The entangled Pokemon both seemed to kick and fight against each other, rolling back and forth in a clumped heap until they eventually managed to separate once more and a reflective shield had managed to come together and shine around the Dottler. “You can try to hide behind your shield but it won’t be enough to save you! Why don’t you both leave? I don’t care what your trainer catches as long as they leave my family alone!” The Rattata cried loudly.

Einstein flinched at the rattata's hard words, oh how she wished she could reassure the rodent she meant no harm but that was hard to do when that was exactly what Lei wanted her to do. She thought hard as she stole several glances at Lei, "if you keep your young out of sight, I don't think she'd try anything," she said slowly, "she hasn't sounded like she's hunting the likes of you." She nodded vigorously, tipping her whole body, to show she understood that this was a nice place to live and that it would want to keep it. "My apologies for my strange questions, I don't know much," she said and had wanted to ask more questions but realized this wasn't the right time to ask questions and the rattata had other things on its mind. "How will I ever get to learn something, when I'm only in these situations?" She mumbled to herself.
Einstein looked on shocked and confused as Rattata begun screaming at Flit fluttering around the flowers, and Lei stomping over there too. She panicked as Lei had asked her to defend her and now the rattata was jumping around more or less beside her. The dottler's attempts to reach it in time and get between the wild purple rat and her trainer failed miserably, and a moment later the rattata slammed into her and sent them both flailing to the ground, and Einstein threw a shield up instinctively. She would struggle against the rattata to get back up on her feet, she luckily hadn't landed on her back.
Einstein's head went into overdrive as she got overwhelmed with the aggression and uncertainly of what to do, and then suddenly she felt like something blasted from her and the pressure in her head lifted. She looked around confused, not sure what had happened.
Lei had stomped over to the tree and jumped to the side at the rattata suddenly came uncomfortably close, she was about to shout frustrated at her useless dottler, she had evolved, she had to be more useful now than before! The rattata missed its attack on flit, high in the tree, and instead collided with Einstein who finally did something and seemed to catch the rodents attention. She did not trust her and kept an eye on the rattata as she looked up towards her unruly cutiefly. "Flit! Get down here!" Lei shouted at him, the flowers were too high for her to reach on her own.
Flit had outright laughed when the rattata had panicked over his presence, "That's a great idea!" He called to it but didn't move to get any closer. Now he looked down at Lei and her furious expression and had no trouble deciding it was his best interest to stay up here away from biting rodents and shouting trainers. He zipped over to another flower which had just opened and buried his head into its scented middle in his hunt of the sweet, sweet nectar.

Though Einstein tried to reason with the wild rodent, the Rattata did not seem to listen very well. The wilderness was a dangerous place. Many Pokemon that would try to eat it would also try to confuse the wild rodent or trick it with word games to gain its trust. The purple mouse knew that it could only ever trust itself and the colony of Rattata that it lived with and foraged with. It twitched its whiskers as it stood, poised and ready to ambush the other Pokemon. “Why should I trust you or your trainer?” It hissed, narrowing its eyes suspiciously on them both. “The snakes around here try to charm us into falling into their coils. The hounds try to surround us to keep us from escaping. Here you act like the hounds but sound like the snakes. What makes you so sure and so different?”Then, without warning, the wild mouse would strike. It kicked its back feet off of the ground and surged across the open terrain at a blazing speed towards its opponent. As soon as the Rattata neared, it would leap into the air yelling out loudly with a raucous battle cry. “Take this!” It sneered, chomping down on the Dottler’s tough shell with its long buckteeth. It clenched its claws around the whole of the other Pokemon as it sunk its fangs into the Dottler’s shell. Einstein rolled around, kicking, and tumbling in different directions. She would struggle with all her might until she finally broke free of the other Pokemon – knocking it into the ground and various large, rock formations along the way. Einstein purposefully rammed the rodent into a large tree trunk, where she finally managed to break free from the mouse’s strong grip. The Rattata jumped back. It began to lick its wounds and fastidiously cleaned itself with its clawed paws. One trained eye never left the Dottler though, as it expected her to attack again. Einstein’s questions confused the purple rodent. Learn what? “What do you want to learn?” The rodent hissed as its whiskers twitched nervously. It held its head up high, mouth agape as it pointed its long, dagger-like teeth in Einstein’s direction. “The wild is only about survival. Did not your own mother teach you that? Eat or be eaten, it is the way of the wild.” The rodent spoke. Then, it would rush at the Dottler again and take Einstein by surprise as it nimbly jumped on top of her and bit down. She froze, possibly in fear or something else entirely, and flinched instead of attacking like she meant to. “You’re sealing your own fate if you don’t leave now.” Wild Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Rattata LV 16 HP 100% [28/40]

"I.. I don't know what to say," Einstein mumbled and downcast her eyes, "I just.. tried to warn you, that my trainer might try something funny, or ask me to do something like that, and to keep your babies out of sight, so she doesn't know about them," the dottler rambled nervously and glanced at the rattata as it mentioned how it was living here. "So not so nice," she stated and then frowned, then why living here? A tiny scream escaped Einstein when the rattata lunged at her, and she frantically tried to move out of the way, only to scream more when its fangs sunk into her shell. Wasn't it supposed to protect her?! "I don't want to eat you!" She screamed as answer to the question and managed to kick the rattata away, "I.. I don't even think I have a mouth." She paused, then how did she speak?
Einstein covered fearfully, although that was hard to see when her shape was just round and a few centimeters over the ground normally. "Learn?" She repeated looking at the rattata and then down at he ground, "about the world, everyone says I'm so smart but I'm really not. I hope to learn so that I don't keep disappointing." She looked hopefully at the purple rodent when it told her a bit about the life out here, and she nodded, "So a really hard place," she repeated herself from earlier and then dared to ask what she had thought about before, "why aren't you moving to a better place if this is so bad?" She flinched and pressed herself against the ground as it felt like the rattata was trying to chew through her shell, what did she even have under it? "I would!" She whined, "but my trainer keeps me here!" she defended herself, there was nothing more in the world, right now, that she wanted to do than run and leave this hard biting pokemon alone. Her eyes began to glow as she once again felt some sort of energy build inside of her.
Lei stood and shouted at Flit who wasn't paying her any attention, instead he was watching the interaction Einstein had while chuckling to himself. A red beam shot up through branches and Flit barely avoided it, he glared down at Lei who was aiming a pokeball at him and he flitted behind a flower so that she couldn't see him. "What are you waiting for Einstein? You eat babies for breakfast, don't you?" He called and the dottler clenched her invisible jaw and would have glared at him, had she dared removed her eyes from the rodent.
