The small child tugged on her mother’s clothes and pointed towards Rowan enthusiastically. “See, momma?!” She said innocently enough. She’d spent a lot of her early years after learning to speak well enough to hold a conversation with others giving out her name whenever she met someone new with her mother. To the small child, giving your name when asked seemed like the polite thing to do. She didn’t quite understand why her mother was shhing her for it all of a sudden. “Rowan just didn’t hear me! The battle must be super loud!” The exhausted mother just nodded her head and buried it into her hands out of embarrassment. “Yes, sweetie…I see. Let’s try to give Rowan any space he may need to focus on his battle, ok?”But that was a pipe dream as soon as Rowan asked the small child about their grandmother’s bird. Her eyes glossed over as she pictured the large bird of prey swooping through the air with her grandmother on its back. “Her name’s Windstar!” The small child giggled excitedly and practically screamed at the top of her lungs. She’d ridden the bird a few times herself, and absolutely loved it! But Rowan’s Pidgey, even though it looked kinda like her grandmother’s bird, was nowhere near the size of her grandmother’s bird. There was no way she could fly on its back! “Grandma and I ride on her back all the time! She goes WOOSH WOOSH in the air and I go WOAAH OOAAHH when we’re high high up there!” She giggled loudly. “What’s a matter boss?! This kid ain’t got you on the run, does he?!” One of the rats squeaked out to their leader. They dug at the ground underfoot worked together as a pack to press closer to the woman and her child. Though the pack of Rattata wouldn’t attack without their leader’s command, they also wouldn’t let the two escape so easily while the boss Rattata focused on fighting Rowan and his Pokemon off. “Shh, guys, I’ve got this! It was just a lucky shot of theirs is all!” Rattata braced itself and clenched its teeth awaiting Ace’s next attack. It would surely counter it this time! Though, when it never came, the rat looked around confused. “What in the mess is this thing?!” He huffed angrily, circling around the bumbling bulbous plant as Kiki made her appearance onto the battlefield. “You’re going to do…what exactly?!” Rattata demanded to know mocking Kiki as the small Bulbasaur growled menacingly at it. It thumped its tail against the ground but seemed to mess up the move entirely instead when it tried to whip it about at Kiki. The other purple rats all jeered and laughed at Kiki, with some snapping their long buckteeth in warning. “Our leader will serve you for breakfast pretty plant! Better go cry to your trainer while you still can!”The mother turned away sheepishly and nodded her head. Rowan was right. If she was going to be out in the wilderness even on a beautiful day like this, she should have carried her Pokemon with her for protection. She hated disturbing her Ariados while it slept, and didn’t want to turn her pleading daughter down when the small child practically begged and cried to go picnicking on this fine day. “You’re right…I didn’t think that one through very well…” The mother nodded her head softly and watched Rowan carefully as he battled the large Rattata with his Pokemon.

Rowan startled in surprise at Kiki's battered state. He had no idea that she was that weak. He sprayed a potion on her, hoping to restore the health. He turned back to the mother. "It's okay, just wait for me to finish this battle, and I'll lead you out of here.

Kiki would look surprised at Rowan When he found a potion, he must be seen wrong, why would she need any healing when she hadn't even been hit by a single thing by the rattata? Not even the tail whip had she fallen for, so what difference would a potion do? She would refuse to let him use it on her, no matter how hard he tried and would do what she could to show him, that she was fine! Rowan would have to put the potion back into his back once more, saving it for another time where there would be more use for it. "I wanna play with it!" The kid wailed as her mother held her in a tight grip to avoid she attempted to run off again. The two minion rattatas was good at standing guard, clattering their teeth threateningly at any signs of the two humans trying to sneak off. The mother wasn't going to risk her daughter getting bitten by those aggressive rats, what had gotten into them? Why had they chosen to target them like this? Usually pokemon on route 29 was nice and ran at the sight of a human, completely safe for even children to run around and play on their own. "Thank you!" She said gracefully to Rowan when he promised to help them, "and I will make sure to always bring my herdier from now on." The kid had been trying to get her mother's attention to tell she wanted to play with the sentret, but that comment caught her attention. "But Mommy! She sleeping!" The kid protested and the mother sighed, "I know sweetheart, but then we just need to wait for her to wake up."It seemed like the loyalty of the Rattata leader's underlings was limited when the smallest set back could make them question its bravery. Perhaps it was just the feeling of power which kept them together, and the moment they doubted it they would scatter fearfully as they often were? "What's the matter bulb? Do you really think you got a chance when you are nothing but a shrub with legs? See these big boys?" The rattata raised its sharp thangs into the air, "They will cut you in half! I have cut down trees much bigger than you with these, and you look really soft and weak! What's the matter weed? Cat's got your tongue?" It kept taunting. "Oh no Boss, don't meantion the cat!" One of the two underlings begged with a shiver and the leader spun around clattering its teeth, "I'm afraid of no cat! I'll say it as many time as I want and you'll better get used to it! Cat! Cat! Cat!" It spat wtih its hackles raised, the underling who had opposed it was covering in the dust.

Rowan stood, confused, as to why Kiki wouldn't take the potion. He tried to spray it, but she whipped out a vine and blocked his finger from pressing it. "Huh...?" he pondered. "Kiki, take the potion, you're..." He stopped short of his sentence when he saw the fire in her eyes. "Oh... I get you. You're fine. You just want to prove you can beat this guy, huh?" Rowan questioned, hooking a finger at the boss Rattata. Kiki nodded her approval and determination. "Well, how about that?" Rowan said.
Meanwhile, from Kiki's perspective, she faced off against the Rattata. When she first saw him, she had a feeling he was different from other Rattata, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She now knew exactly what was up. "So," she observed. "You're just gonna counter anything I throw at you, huh?" "Yeah. And guess what, shrubby? You ain't gonna know what hit you 'till your face is in the dirt. Got it?" "Heh, we'll see about that." Kiki turned to speedy, looking out from the top of Rowan's head. It was clear he still wasn't used to traveling with this ragtag team of adventurers. He flinched when her eyes met his. "SPEEDY!" she shouted at him, a tinge of annoyance in her voice. "Pull yourself together! And get off of Rowan's head!" He yelped a little bit, then quickly made his way down. "Y...You'll be okay, right?" Kiki smirked. "Don't worry. I'll wrap this up in no time. ROWAN! ORDERS!"
Back to Rowan's perspective, he herd them exchange some form of conversation, and then Kiki suddenly turned back and shouted, apparently addressing Rowan. "Okay, Kiki! Go, use Vine Whip!" Kiki's vines shot out and toward the Rattata as it took a defensive stance.

"Why wouldn't I? You have no way to counter it yourself and will be left in the dust behind me!" The boss rattata boasted, and got cheered on by its followers. "Unlike you, I don't need a human to think for me, what do you need orders for when he's already so stupid he don't realize you need one for a battle?"The rattata looked back to see its minions jump up and down in place, shouting encouragements and praises of their leader's quick wits and comebacks. No one was as clever and strong as their boss, that was why they were following it. The rattata did not wait for Kiki to get Rowan up in gears and get his head into the game, it sprinted forward and slammed into the grass type and forcing her to stumble back a few steps. "You're too slow!" It hollered, "there's no way you are going to win this at that speed, especially not when you need your even slower trainer to do anything," it mocked, doing all it could to upset her and get cheered on by its followers. The rattata tensed when the vines came flying towards it, and it jumped just in time so that they slammed into the ground below it. It grinned maliciously and the other rattata's cheered excitedly, but the vines were not dead things which was thrown, the moment the tip of them hit the ground they shot upwards after the rattata and wrapped around it, pulling it down and slammed it into the ground. The rattata groaned as it lay there, it clenched its teeth and rolled to its stomach and tried to stand up. Dead silence from the other rattatas who had both frozen in place. The leader sighed as it gave up and it lowered its head submissively to Kiki. Horrified gasps and teeth clattering from the two followers, and then they spun around and pelted through the grass and disappeared into the wilderness. The former boss stayed on the ground, leaving it to Kiki and Rowan to make the decision about its fate. "Oh thank you so much young man! You have saved us for quite some trouble!" The mother said thankfully. "Mummy! Mummuy! I wanna go hooome!" The kid wailed and pulled at her mother's sleeves impatiently. The mother looked torn for a moment but then addressed Rowan, "are you passing through Cherrygrove City by the way? Perhaps you will go past the Pokemon Center and tell Nurse Joy that I will unfortunately not be able to help her today, I'm sure she can find someone else," she said kindly and winked to Rowan, perhaps that was something he was interested in offering Nurse Joy when he got that far. The mother thanked Rowan again and tried and failed to get her girl to do it as well, before they were heading back towards New Bark Town. They had more than enough excitement for one day.

Rowan looks at Kiki with confusion after the Rattata gang and the Mother and son departed. She was concentrating, obviously focused on something, but didn't know what. He could tell she was getting stronger, so he consulted his book to see what was happening. "Ok, so it says here that: "Once your Bulbasaur reaches level 10, it can learn the move Leech Seed, although it needs to forget a prior move to do so." Rowan looked at Kiki, tilted his head, and crossed his arms. "So you wanna learn a new move, huh? Okie-dokie! Let's see. I believe Growth increases special attack, but all the moves you have now are physical. So... we'll forget growth?" he looked at Kiki for input. She nodded; but it was a strained one, like she was concentrating furiously on something else. One last strain, and... Kiki slowly relaxed, then she fell over, exhausted. He laughed and tapped her Pokeball on her head. A red beam shot out, sucking her back into her ball. He and his Pokémon then continued down the beaten path, and on to Cherrygrove City.

The beaten path that led to Cherrygrove was quite wide and easy to follow, though it curved around steep ledges along the way. Thick wild grasses as tall as your knees propped up along the path. The warm weather, complete with a gentle breeze, brought out many wild Pokemon and trainers alike, who raced all around Rowan as he traveled along towards the next town. Furry purple rodents darted past him as brown feathered birds soared high above. Even small poppy red caterpillars crawled up the sides of the trees’ rough bark in search of tasty leaves high above. A small red panda with warm cream fur and bright red splotches stumbled and swayed through the tall grasses while giggling wildly to itself. It loved the balmy weather! Not only did the sun feel good on its back, welcomed by the gentle breeze that helped keep the temperatures from rising too high. It could easily sneak to set up picnic displays and steal all the sweets from unsuspecting trainers as much as it liked! “This is really too easy.” Spinda commented underneath its breath, stuffing a small cupcake with bright pink frosting and sprinkles in its mouth and gulping it down greedily. “It’s like they want me to take their stuff!” It laughed. When its eyes spotted Rowan, Spinda would quickly hide behind a large oak tree, hoping that it wasn’t spotted. It would carefully follow Rowan through his travels, darting from tree to bush to tree, and occasionally diving into thick blades of grass to fully conceal itself. It waited, carefully calculating the right moment where it could sneak up from behind Rowan. It’s goal was to try to snatch Rowan’s bag right off his back! When it managed to get close to Rowan, Spinda ran at him in odd, spinning patterns, and reached out with grubby, hungry hands in its vain and quick attempts to hopefully snatch the trainer’s belongings. “Oh, gimme all you got! I want it! I bet its good yummies in there!” Spinda laughed. A Wild Spinda is Trying to Steal From Rowan! Level 8. What will Rowan and his team do? Shiny? kPohtUR21-421-42

Rowan heard the rustling of the tall grass before he turned to see the Spinda. He stumbled back, startled by the quick, random appearance of this strange pokemon. The patterns on its body mixed with the strange, erratic movements of the Spinda caused Rowan to become dizzy, although he had barely seen the pokemon for a second. He snatched his backpack off of his back and raised it into the air, thee Spinda giving chase, attempting to climb onto Rowan. "No!" he shouted. "You can't have my food! My mom packed this for me! C'mon!" The Spinda took no heed to such a statement and kept climbing up to Rowan's bag, snickering all the way. Clearly, it was pleased with how Rowan was reacting. Speedy, on the ground walking with Rowan, ran in circles paniking, knowing it was powerless to halt the advance of the spotted panda pokemon. Suddenly, one of Rowan's pokeballs popped open and out popped Ace, swinging wildly and cheeping it's head off. With one swift tackle, he rushed at the sneaky Spinda, getting ever closer to Rowan's lunch. "Hey, didn't you hear him?" Ace growled in as menacing of a voice as he could muster. "Back. Off." The Spinda, shocked by the fast reaction of Ace, braced itself for attack.

Spinda spooked a bit when it heard the squawking of an upset pidgey. Hey. It was having fun here and enjoying stealing itself some lunch from a silly human. Before it could slip away with the goods, the bird rushed forward and it flinched, dropping the pilfered goods out of reflex. "H-hey! I'm not looking for a fight!" it protested, clumsily swinging its paws around defensively and smacking Ace hard in return, catching the bird right on the noggin and nearly swiping him straight out of the air. Those paws packed a punch! Drunkenly, it staggered back, wary and still hungry. The spinda glanced at the bag. Maybe it could just... It tried to grab said bag and run off with it. Battling was for chumps who didn't have the skills! There were tasties in here. It could smell them! No mean pidgey would take away its chance at tasty snackies. Nope! It would be victorious! However, little legs didn't exactly go very fast when you were a wobbly bear that stumbled every step. It had to be pretty careful to not trip over itself and fall face first into the dirt.

Rowan's eyes widened as the sneaky Spinda quickened its pace and made off with his lunch. "H-hey!" Rowan called after the snickering Spinda. It did not respond, just kept running, laughing the whole time. "Hahaha! Silly human, I'm not coming back! I've just earned myself dinner!" Rowan began to get frustrated and gave chase. Ace flew ahead, determined to get back not only Rowan's food, but the delicious Poké Puffs that he'd stocked up on before leaving home. They were so close to Cherrygrove City, too. As far as Rowan knew, there were no places to get Poké Puffs in the city, so they'd have to go all the way back to New Bark. On top of all that, Rowan was planning to spend the night in Cherrygrove, and it took him hours to get this far. "Get back here! Ace, get him! Sand Attack!"

<Mine all mine. You snooze, you lose.> It started to run off with Rowan and the pidgey in tow. It wobbled and hobbled and swayed its way down the path towards some bushes, hoping to evade capture. But of course, the pair caught up to it, and the little bird swooped down to throw sand in its face. It whirled, trying to mimic the bird and kick sand in its face, but it instead kicked said bird in the side. That of course got it half blinded with dirt for its efforts. Okay, NOW, it was time to get out of here. <You won't catch me!> It turned again, but with blurry vision, it was really hard to figure out where to go. It was pretty sure that was a bush in front of it. It flailed a paw forward and pushed at branches and leaves, the pack slung over its shoulder now and dragging the ground.

Rowan hissed underneath his breath. It seemed like Ace was fighting a losing battle. He weighed his options and deduced that switching into Speedy would be a terrible idea. Speedy was definitely lagging behind the rest of the group in terms of raw power. so if the Spinda was dealing this much damage to Ace, it was likely that Speedy might be knocked out before any damage could be done in the first place. After a quick decision in his mind, he decided that a good plan of attack was to switch into Kiki to tank an incoming attack and then deal heavy damage with Vine Whip. But then... Ace had made it known to Rowan on many occasions he didn't like to be helped in battle. He wanted to prove himself as a worthy member of the team, since he was relatively new. After analyzing the situation, it seemed that the Spinda they were fighting was just hungry and wanted some food to eat. He wavered for a bit, and the Spinda tottered in its race to escape the kid and his Pokémon. In the end, he whipped out Ace's pokeball. "Ace, come back!" he shouted as Ace disappeared into the red and white machine. He then whipped out another pokeball and out popped Kiki. "Kiki, use Vine Whip to get the lunch!" he shouted as Kiki's vines sprouted out of her bulb and aimed for the box lunch.

This was going great! Partly at least, yes the initial had been wobbly and unsteady but it had succeeded! It had gotten the bag and the yummy food it could smell inside, now it just needed to get it to a safe place and it was time to feast! The pack was heavy though and Spinda still stumbled around in anything but linear and focused direction, and since no pidgey came diving to try stop it, it was sure its little heist had worked. It was so clever! And humans were so easy to take from, it was also not fair that they should have all the access to all the tasty food when they didn't share it. Spinda just took what they really should just have given to it, and they clearly had more than enough as they all had some sort of food on them, which was unheard of for a wild pokemon who lived off what they could find. Besides, human food was so much better than what it could find in the wild, so it was worth the risk. Until now no trainer had wanted to the unpredictable spinda on their team. The spinda stumbled to the right and a green vine darted right past it, just where it had been standing half a second ago. The normal type stared dumbfounded as the vine retracted behind it and then it felt a tuck on the pack. Spinda gave the pack a sharp pull, which freed it from whatever held it back and it stumbled forward almost losing its balance. Another vine came and Spinda gave it a hard slap to get it away, and then another as that one too tried to get hold of the bagpack. What now? Was the forest itself rooting up against it?! It looked back and scowled at the green pokemon who had decided to stick her little nose in where it didn't belong.
