With no knowledge of how everyday life and the struggle between the wild pokemon in this area, the case was clear to the old woman. A poor wingull had build its nest a bit too close to the water and the finneon saw it as a nice easy snack, if it could shoot the nest down and get the eggs into the water.
She could not accept that! She was aware of how the wild worked but that didn't meant she was planning on doing nothing and just watch while she saw someone end the life of innocent eggs. One thing was when it happened when she didn't saw it, the finneon had to eat too, but surely it could find something else in the water than shooting down the bird's nest?

"Oh my goodness!" the white haired woman exclaimed and ducked but the finneon shot far past her, as it was probably more a warning than really trying to attack her.
"You are out of line!" Astrid snapped at the fish, "Yakul, go and keep its attention, keep it off the nest!" She ordered and turned to the finneon.
"Attacking innocent eggs, I cannot accept that. There must be plenty of food for you in the ocean, go there and leave the wingull's nest alone!" She scolded the fish while Yakul bleated challenging at it and ran up and down the water's edge as she couldn't get to the finneon without jumping into the water.

Janus looked on curiously, he had jumped off Yakul when she was sent forward as he was not going to stay for the ride and risk becoming the target. Perhaps the finneon wanted to eat him too.
"Why would the fish think you eat its young if you don't?" He asked the wingull, "you both look like you could be interested in eating eggs, or me," he commented calmly.

Astrid decided she wanted to remove the finneon from here, that would be the most safe for the surroundings and with a net ball in hand she carefully made it closer to the water and took a long time aiming in the fear of missing her target.

The strange human screamed something at the fish that sounded oddly like she thought it was the one at fault. Finneon gobbled up a bunch of water in its mouth and puffed up its cheeks angrily. Was she that blind or had these evil birds summoned humans to come to their aid?! Finneon couldn’t believe the evils that these terror birds were known to cause! It spat out the mouthful of water in a large warning wave that would splash against Astrid’s shoulders – not enough to hurt her in any way, but enough to try and soak her especially if she didn’t try to dodge it. Yakul hopped in front of Finneon, though, and caused the fish to jump backwards in the water as it puffed up angrily. “Out of my way ugly horse!” It snapped and slapped the surface of the lake with its fins.

The bright ball spiraled towards Finneon at a high speed, meant to gobble it up with a single click. However, perhaps the sun was in Astrid’s eyes? Or her aim wasn’t quite what it used to be? Whatever the case may be, it simply soared straight overhead and tapped itself against a large rock. Not a rock-shaped Pokemon, mind you, since those apparently do exist. Just an ordinary, mundane, couldn’t be a Pokemon if you prayed every night to Arceus before going to bed, rock. The rock disappeared inside of the faulty Net Ball with a bright burst of red light and was captured easily. Though her Pokedex would read it as an ‘error: no pokemon found’ when trying to register it. Well…of course not…it’s just a rock…

Finneon turned in the direction of the newly caught rock and then back to Janus, who seemed to have a lot to say for a bug. A small, tasty looking bug. Something that it had left the safety of its newly constructed nest to go hunt down and fill it…ahem! A battle. Oh yes, oh my! That’s what it was doing! “These birds have been terrorizing our nests for eons! Hunting our eggs while we’re away. My nest had three eggs in it when I left. Now, look at my nest…my beautiful, beautiful eggs! That darn bird stole them, I just know it!” Finneon roared, sending a burst of gusting winds to spiral towards Yakul and rip at her soft, fleshy hide. “And here the lot of you are, just merry-making and having a grand ole’ time helping those terror birds get away with their devious deeds!” It puffed up defensively.

It was no surprise that Astrid's aim was bad and that her throw was even worse. She looked on resigned as the ball missed its mark with a huge margin and it would have been just that, nothing else than another confirmation that she was old and that she hadn't done this pokemon traveling and training in her youth as so many other people did.
Something did happen though, something quite unexpected and Astrid's mouth fell open when the net ball didn't just bounce off the rock it had hit, broke in several pieces and falling into the water.. instead, it acted like it had hit a pokemon and opened up and swallowed the rock!
"That's not possible!" Astrid gasped and rubbed here eyes as she didn't believe what had just happened. "It's not possible!" She repeated and her eyes were glued to the netball as it bobbed in the ways created by the suddenly disappeared rock and then slowly sank. It's content was heavy after all.

Unfortunately for the finneon, Astrid didn't understand pokespeech and was now also rather distracted while Yakul didn't understand any speech at all other than tone of voice and body language. Yakul didn't doubt that the finneon was aggressive and the wind that teared into her only confirmed that, she stomped around and got the ground shaking which probably wasn't the most effective way of reacting since the water surely would absorb a lot of the force but Yakul wasn't a strategist.

"I have not taken any of your eggs! How could I? They are under water!" The wingull protested loudly and frantically tried to stop an egg from rolling through a hole in the nest.
"So you aren't eating them?" Janus asked the wingull calmly who had its wings protectively over its eggs, fuzzing over them worriedly.
"Oh I do, but mostly when they are fish. Eggs aren't very tasty," the wingull said absentminded and Janus watched it struggle for a bit. "Your nest is falling apart," he told it unnecessarily and didn't get any answer.
"I would have build it further from the lake, where the fish can't reach it," He continued and the wingull sent him a glare.
"Well excuse me for not knowing that in the first place, I thought this looked to be a nice spot and a nice landing for our babies first flight! And my mate agreed! But how should we have known they could be so cruel? It's our first brood!" It defended itself and tenderly pulled the eggs closer to it.
"Hm, they say first time parents often loose their young since they don't know what they are doing," Janus stated as a matter of fact as he had heard the narrator tell that in the wild pokemon programs in the television.
The wingull stared at him with horror, "I'm not going to fail! Don't listen to him, you are safe with me, I'll protect you with my life!" He promised the eggs devastated.

Astrid had found another net ball and studied it closely but it looked normal to her. "No, it must be a very rare occurence, I need to get that pokeball back!" She decided and stepped closer to the water and flung the ball at the finneon. First she needed to get the fish secured to free the way to the sinking net ball containing the rock, and at the same time she could help the poor wingull save its nest. She wondered briefly if she could get it to understand she wanted to help it and if they somehow could move the nest to a safer spot?

"See, I knew it!" the small fish practically screeched, absolutely certain now that those dastardly birds were eating its precious eggs. There was no doubt about it and nobody could convince it otherwise. But of course now the question was... what exactly was it going to do about it? Well first it would have to make absolutely certain that nobody was going to catch it, because it was pretty clear that that old woman was trying to do just that! And the nerve of her!! Did she not realize that a finneon was meant to be in the wild with its babies, to raise them and protect them and guide them to being the very best fishies they could be? Dastardly! Yes, the whole lot of them!

As that damned skiddo began prancing about or whatever the hell she was doing, the fish tried to get underneath all that horrible shaking and such. Of course we all know that that didn't really work, and the finneon was left struggling against the attack. "You monsters!" it cried out, unable to believe that a bunch of Neanderthals would actually have the audacity to attack a poor, struggling mother to be. "I can't even fathom the blackness that your hearts must contain!" it cried out, spinning up another gust of wind to buffet the grass type.

It knew that it could defend its eggs, if only it were able to actually do so. Why were they all being so cruel? Could they not actually help instead of actively attack like they were? Oh it was terrible, absolutely terrible! There was nothing more that the finneon could do except to continue fighting against its would be oppressors! Yes, it would not allow this travesty to continue any -

That was the last of its thoughts before it was very quickly sucked up in the net ball. Which, obviously, led to a very successful capture indeed. Of course the finneon is going to be just distraught with things, until Astrid can show how she's helping.
