While the two old friends had realized they had to get back and couldn't continue their planned trip to see the old Bell Trail, things were not going their way, not when it came to speed at least. It wasn't as cold for them anylonger now Growlithe had returned and was doing its best to warm them up. "Poor Yakul, it is not going her way," Astrid said quietly as she the telltale ray of confusion hit the skiddo who tumbled down into the snow and right down on her own seed she had just placed. As Yakul had not managed to get her seed to hit the stantler at all yet, Astrid wasn't surprised when the ultra ball flew through the air got flung away by the deer who simply caught it with its antlers and flung it away. "I'm glad we found growlithe here, what if the poor thing were still tied up when the snow came?" Olga said and pulled Astrid out of her worries for her grass type.¨ "You are right, that would not have been good," Astrid agreed and thought to herself that it was doing all it could paying them back by keeping the worst of the cold at bay.
"May I borrow Growlithe for a moment?" Astrid and Olga almost look offended, "you don't have to ask for such thing!" And then tilted her head curiously, "but for what?" "To bring a drink to Yakul, my hope of finishing the battle quick clearly failed and she needs a treat to get her strength back up," Astrid explained and a moment later the growlithe pushed through the snow with a bottle in its mouth. Even in her confused state, the smell of the nutritious milk caught Yakul's attention and she gulped it down and then lay and rested a bit as she tried to pull herself together. Growlithe made its way back through the snow with the empty bottle and returned to warm the old women the best it could,

Astrid bend down to take the empty bottle from the growlithe and gave it a friendly pat as thank you, she stoved away the empty bottle in one of the saddlebags and realized with worry that she didn't have many other healing items on her. She glanced at Yakul and hoped the grass type would do endure and finish the battle soon. "So what do you think it is? Is it a huge battle which had set the weather off course or have we been out here so long it has turned to winter?" Olga asked teasingly and Astrid bursted out laughing. "Are you saying we are such slowpokes we have been out here for half a year?!" Astrid laughed, Olga shrugged casually, "we're not exactly rapidashes either, and we did take a lot long breaks along the way." Astrid chuckled and looked warmly at Olga, "but it has been a nice day, even though we did not get to see the end of the trail," she said and Olga gave her arm a nudge. "It was, and with wintery weather like this, the perfect ending would be sitting under a warm blanket with a cup of something hot!" She rolled her shoulders and slapped her arms to get a bit of warmth in them and Astrid looked at the battle, how long would it last?
Yakul snorted and sniffed at the snow which was gathering around her hooves, her head was still spinning but less than before. She eyed the stantler and let another seed drop into the snow in front of her. She couldn't yet think clearly enough to perhaps try something else, at some point she'd have to succeed, right?

Finally Yakul managed to get an attack through and the seeds rained down over the stantler who bucked and then ran off. Yakul stared after it baffled while breathing heavily, but then she shook her head vigorously to get rid of the last of the confusion before she made her way through the snow to the old women. "I think our best course will be going back, how will we get the others to return?" Astrid asked but Olga just stared open mouthed. Astrid looked back at Yakul and her mouth fell open too as the skiddo was not much bigger and had sprouted much bigger horns. "When did that happen?!" Astrid exclaimed, the snow had shielded the bright light surprisingly well. The growlithe was sent out hunting for the other pokemon and as soon as they had returned, Astrid and Olga both mounted the gogoat who willingly carried them back to civilization. They would have to see the rest of the trail another day. (ooc: yes please to the mod bar, and evolving Yakul, she does not learn Aerial Ace ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/j4x3M6WbsBpReeVALlIv.png) Saxa also evolves, self updating and resetting my bar)
Astrid was back at Route 37 in the late afternoon, the weather was still cold and snow covered the ground but at least the snowstorm was gone and with Yakul's sure footing she felt safe carried around on her back. The old woman looked around and frowned, there had been so many rumors about the one and only Lance been seen out here, there had to be something. Whether he really had went by or if someone was playing a trick on everyone else was hard to say, but since she needed to find him to give him Silvia when she was fully evolved, it would be good to talk with him if she got the chance. She was not the only one who was out looking, several groups of trainers were mulling around excitedly. Most of them looked to the skies in the expectation of seeing a Champion fly past on one of his dragonites. Excited shouts and pointing drew in Astrid's attention and she too looked at the sky to see the figure which came soaring past. She narrowed her eyes as it came closer, it was rather small to be a dragonite in her opinion. The excited shouting and waving from the other trainers died out and got replaced with complains and groans when the figure turned out to have a beak and a tuff of feathers on the top of its head. "Be ready Janus," Astrid whispered to her small yellow bug, who was sitting on Yakul's head. The bird came closer and closer, and Astrid worried it wasn't just going to fly past them.

Astrid's worries were well-founded, as the bird got closer and closer. It was a Staravia, coming straight for her and with an aggressive look to it; perhaps it thought she had wandered too close to its territory. Before long, it would be upon her and her Pokemon, and it would clearly be ready to fight. ![](https://projectpokemon.org/images/normal-sprite/staravia.gif) A wild Staravia (Level 20) has gotten in Astrid's way!

The crowd which was watching nearby slowly split up although a few kept an eye on the bird as it dived. A couple got a look of alarm when they realized the bird seemingly had chosen a defenseless old woman sitting on a very clearly grass pokemon, that could end badly if the staravia chose to be aggressive. When the bird stretched its claws in front of it, they called out a warning which got other trainers to look back, and called a couple of pokemon out to try interfere.
Oh Janus was ready, that staravia looked awfully hungry and it clearly had its eyes right on him. It was an impressive eyesight the staravia had, that it could spot the tiny joltik among the many leaves on Yakul's neck, but Janus was not one moment in doubt that he was the target. It didn't worry him anymore though, he knew how much he had grown in power and he felt certain that this bird would be no match for him. It had been different back when he had lived in Astrid's house and hadn't battled, but spent his days hanging out in the corners and eating static electricity off of her tv. Astrid was still good at giving him plenty of electric devices to eat from as they passed things which wouldn't be damaged by it. Now he used some of that electricity to form a ball in front of him, which he sent flying at the bird.
It made the battle ready trainers exclaim from surprise as it for them looked like the gogoat shot electricity from her neck.

Staravia attempted to set up a Double Team to buy some time in a battle it had little hope of winning. As quick as it was it was not fast enough however as Janus's attack scored a direct hit sending the bird straight into a nearby bush. Unfortunately Astrid would not have a chance to capture it as a flock of fellow Staravia appeared from a nearby tree to rescue their wounded friend. Though she could not capture the defeated Pokemon both Janus and Sara grew stronger from the encounter. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/joltik.png) Janus gains 1500 experience and is now has 2459/3169 experience towards the next level. He also gains 1 happiness and now has +13 happiness overall. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/scatterbug.png) Sara gains 1 level thanks to here EXP Share and is now level 8.

It seemed like the staravia got a feeling it wasn't going to be as easy as it had first expected. Perhaps it recognized the sparks of electricity, or perhaps the reaction of its prey warned it, now they weren't turning around and trying to run away or dodge it. A second staravia began to form beside it but Janus was having none of it and blasted it into a tree before it got a chance to really do anything. "Oh, good to know they are looking out for each other," Astrid said pleased when other staravias arrived to help their fallen friend. She had no plans on catching any of them, why should she do that? She was just out here looking for Lance, to figure out if he was still interested in a kingdra and alert him that she was trying to fulfill that wish.
"You scared me for a moment there Granny, but that was impressively handled," one of the trainers said as he came over to her. He looked curiously at the small joltik riding on Yakul's head. "Have you trained them yourself?" "Yes of course I have, and old woman like me needs protection," Astrid laughed and the trainer smiled and looked hesitant as if he tried to decide if he should say something or not. "But that's not why I'm here today," Astrid added the quickly and the trainer deflated a bit when she hinted she wasn't interested in battling him today. "I have heard rumors that Lance should have been seen out here, I assume that is why all you others are out here as well?" Astrid said curiously and the trainer smirked knowingly. "You really want a challenge," he teased and Astrid began to protest but he brushed her off. "It's not a big surprise that Lance has been seen out here for.. watch out!" He interrupted himself as yet another staravia arrived and narrowed its eyes when it spotted Astrid.
"Oh dear. Janus, can you please take care of that one too?" Astrid asked and the joltik began to form an electric ball in front of him once again. The other trainer took several steps back to stay out of the way. This time he was sure she could handle it without any problem, even if her way of doing it perhaps was a bit unorthodox.

When the wild bird appeared, screeching at them angrily, Janus was prepared. He fired an extremely powerful ball of electrical energy that left a critically hitting impact on the wild bird.

Janus quickly chased off the staravia and they watched it soar over the treetops and disappeared, probably following all its friends they had seen before. "Well, where were we, oh right! Lance!" The man said with a laugh as he stepped closer again. He scanned the sky several times, keeping an eye out for anymore aggressive birds who wanted to be a punching bag. "Lance is often meeting Ecruteak's Gym leader, Morty. We see him fly past here quite often, and some of us are silly enough to believe that we can get his attention out here, or just want a glimpse of him and his dragonites," he added explained with a grin, to which Astrid nodded. "Have you seen him today?" She asked and he shook his head. "I haven't, but some of the others might have," he answered and gestured towards the other trainers who were reluctantly splitting up as they kept looking upwards. "With how they are acting they have probably seen him not long ago," he said and Astrid nodded again. "Which means he has either just left or just arrived," The old woman decided and patted Yakul on her neck, "thank you young man, I think I need to pay Morty a visit." "You want to challenge him for a badge?" The man said surprised. "I will if that is the only way I can get to see him and ask," Astrid laughed, the man stepped closer with a worried frown and put a hand on Yakul. The gogoat snorted and stomped her hoof. "Ma'am, I'm sorry, but if you want to challenge Lance, you'll need to win over the Elite Four first!" He warned and she patted his hand reassuringly. "I am not planning on that, my goodness no! I have heard rumors about him looking for a kingdra, and I want to find out if that is true or not," she explained and he looked puzzled at her. "That is an odd request," he commented and she shrugged, "it might be, and it is a long story. I bit you farewell, thank you so much for your help," The old woman said gratefully and touched Yakul's horns. The gogoat snorted and turned around and trotted back to Ecruteak, leaving the man to wonder about the old woman and her strange plans.
Wordcount: 388 (ooc: Sara evolves, self updated. ON HOLD)
Astrid pulled the cloth which covered her face closer around her mouth, the sand drummed against her safety goggles and she could hear the voice of the Nurse Joy of Ecruteak PokemonCenter, "You want to go out now?! Are you sure?" Astrid could understand her, few trainers ventured out in a dust storm like this, especially when there had been a public announcement with a warning and a recommendation of staying indoors while it lasted. It was stupid of her, and she knew it, she had nothing to do out here, an old woman like herself, and she certainly had no right to bring her pokemon with her out here as well. It was simply just stupid.
But.. she couldn't stand being inside one more second, among people who continued their everyday life as if nothing had changed. Truthfully, nothing really had, but still, Astrid's world had been turned upside down and she didn't know what to do with herself. Her goggled eyes sought the horizon where the mighty beasts had disappeared but of course there was nothing to see. No horizon at all as it was all just a whirling wall of dust. Yakul's steady trotting beneath her legs as the gogoat carried her stoic through the sand, gave her a sense of grounding. Her hand brushed through the goat's leafy mane and she smiled when it tingled as she found Janus hidden within.

Yakul trotted on unbothered by the raging sandstorm, but not everyone was happy about the turn of events. A farfetch'd was sulking in a tree where it had tried to find some cover from the whirling sand. Its day had been ruined by the stupid weather, as it had looked forward to spending a day in the sun, bobbing on a small lake it knew about where it was just gorgeous. It was also around now that the berry trees would be ripe and around that little lake it was just the perfect growing place for those, and they would have been really juicy and sweet, just perfect! The sandstorm had destroyed it all though, blocking out the sun, dirtying the lake and worst of all, damaging all those berries! So it was not just today, it was the whole summer which had been ruined and it walloped in its own self-pity and disappointment. The farfeth'd spotted something move near by and it glared, how dared anyone not be as miserable as itself? It was not fair! If it had its worst day of its life, others were at least going to have that as well, or worse! It spread its wing as anger fueled it, it would make them suffer, the at least it wouldn't be alone about it anymore.
Janus enjoyed the pettings but something nagged him, he glanced out of his leafy covers and narrowed his eyes as the shadow which dived towards them through the sandstorm. He quickly crawled to the top of Yakul's head and an electric ball of energy formed above him, and he sent it flying at the attacker. He'd let another one follow if necessary.

The farfetch'd didn't get far as the ball slammed into it which knocked it back, whirling through the air. It flapped hard to get upright and then dived and snatched little Janus from the head of Yakul, who snorted shocked and stopped abruptly. "What?" Astrid said warily as she grabbed hold of Yakul's horns, a flash of light in the air as Janus slammed another electric ball into the feathered side of the bird, forcing it to release him and flee into the storm. "Janus?! Where are you? Are you alright?" Astrid called out worried and a moment later Janus crawled up on Yakul again and waved reassuringly to Astrid.
It seemed like the farfetch'd took the storm with it, and instead entei had decided to stick around unseen and make it unbearable hot. Word had got out as well, probably by the sulky farfetch'd and another one arrived not long after, glaring at them as it looked for that tiny little yellow pokemon who had humiliated one of its kin. "Far farfarfetch'd!" It said proudly as it landed in front of Yakul and turned its head sideways to look at them closely with one eye. "Farfetch'd!" It exclaimed furiously when Janus popped up from Yakul's leaves and became visible, it pointed its leek at him and Janus jumped down to the ground. "Was it looking for Janus?" Astrid asked no one in particular, that was odd. Not as odd as running into the legendary dogs, but still.
