The night skies shined with thousands of stars that twinkled inside of their dark purplish-blue seas. The pale moon danced in the sky with its starry friends, shining brightly as the cloudless night whispered soft melodies as wild bugs chirped into the night, calling out to their mates in the distance or pairing up with their possible star-crossed lover. The long grasses swayed, though their subtle movements might have been difficult to ascertain if it was because of something moving through their depths or because of the soft breeze that trickled through the hills. A small, furry purple body crawled out from the tall grasses and pressed closer to the makeshift campsite. Its large red eyes stared cautiously from Dynner, whose large wings and gigantic body terrified it, to Felime, whose feline body literally struck fear in its heart. “I…I just want….to warm up…” It stammered slowly, pressing its body against the ground and folding its ears against the sides of its head. Would they attack it simply for seeking comfort? Or, could they understand Rattata’s plight? It was terrified and frozen to the spot and waited to see what the team would do. It was lost, too, having separated from the colony of rats that rushed through the wild overgrowth in search of justice for their fallen comrade who had been snatched from them thanks to some other trainer that had nothing to do with this moment. But this Rattata didn’t agree with its colony and thought that they were foolish to want to chase out every human they could find. “I…I promise…I mean no harm….” It squeaked. A Wild Rattata Appeared!

The team's nightly chatter about their past battles were sort of interrupted by a curious purple Rattata. However, they're mentally winding down, and unless perceived a strong threat, they wouldn't be attacking anyways. The rodent met its gaze first with Dynner, who simply yawned and hummed at the terrified rat, and then Felime, whose feline presence was intimidating enough, but she simply just grinned.
The rat did not expected to be approached by two other Pokemon instead. The Baltoy spoke nothing yet as it spun and moved the warm air by the campfire toward the Rattata. The cheeky and simple Snorunt spoke first, "Heehee, you don't like the cold?" He muttered under his frost breath, as if teasing the rodent. "Come sit by the campfire for a bit then, but don't stay too long or we might have to shoo you off."
Either they were tired, or the outside made it awkward for the team to discuss their battle stories. After what felt like a few minutes, the Charizard yawned in a different tone to signal the Snorunt while staring at him to do something. The Persian simply changed her slacking position for the fifth time. "Uhh... Are you warm yet? Maybe I should see you off before the Spinaraks got sneaky again." Snorunt spoke again a mix of awkwardly and cheekily, exhaling some frost breath as he did.

Rattata shook its head firmly. It absolutely hated the cold! It would have vivid dreams where it was reincarnated as a fire type like a Ponyta or a Magma because it knew that burning hot desire to be nice and toasty – without actually being lit on fire – was the way it preferred things. “I absolutely hate it.” Rattata crawled slowly closer to the bonfire and watched the giant lizard warily. “I’ll stay as long as you’ll have me. I understand that you can’t stay up all night on my behalf.” Rattata added gratefully, warming itself up by the fire. The fire’s flames were bright and it was really warm. It made Rattata feel a lot better. The cold that it had recently felt slowly left its form. When Haphrost’s frosty breath touched Rattata, it shuddered and shied away a bit. “You look like you were forged from ice itself!” Rattata chuckled, then added, “Oops, sorry!” As it’s tooth accidentally nicked Haphrost with a super fang. “Did you make the fire yourself?” The furry purple rodent turned to Dynner and asked, referring to the hot bonfire it used to warm itself up by. When its strength returned, Rattata jumped up cheerfully. It was so warm now that it couldn’t even remember what being cold felt like! Dynner’s yawn caught Rattata’s attention, who spun around on its nimble feet and accidentally sucker punched Haphrost in the side. “Oh, oops, sorry again! I’m really clumsy sometimes. I see you’re getting tired though…I should go!” Rattata nodded to Haphrost’s questions. “Thanks for offering…sure! I’m really toasty now so I should be good to make it home through the night.” And with that, Rattata would rush off through the forest cheerfully so. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bwani/snorunt.gif) Haphrost 1550 gained EXP. 50*31: 1550 Haphrost increased to 2539/3169 EXP!Haphrost grew closer to Ethan. +1 Haphrost increased to +6 Happiness!

Ethan came back from inspecting his tent, and heard some mousey chatter that he wasn't sure if that was his Raticate or one of the Rattatas that lived here. When he exited the tent, the purple rodent was already gone and had disappeared. He saw that his Pokemon were looking like they were halfway asleep, and approached each of them to see if they would like to return their Pokeball or sleep outside.
First, he approached the Charizard, holding onto his Pokeball. "Hey Dynner, do you want to sleep outside tonight or the Pokeball?" The fire lizard yawned and took a few seconds to open his eyes. He saw the Pokeball, and decided to return back into the safety of the ball by tapping himself with it. In a flash of light, it disappeared.
Ethan then went toward his Persian to see if she was interested.

The woods remained quiet and calm throughout the night, leaving nothing left to disturb Ethan or his Pokemon. They could relax fully in peace around their campfire, eating as they pleased, and even sleeping without a single disturbance. The woods called out with the sounds of wild bugs screaming into the night, creating a strange yet somber melody to help lull them all to sleep. Wild birds clung to their nests, tucking themselves away to sleep for the night. Snakes and rats scurried off through the overgrowth, tucking themselves inside of their dug out dens for the night. And spiders and dogs would remain far off somewhere, unbeknownst to Ethan or his Pokemon. It wouldn’t change until morning or until Ethan and his team chose to move from their current spot. The pathway was dense, though, curving oddly through the sloping hillside into many dead ends that caused the young man to spin around and go back the way he came. Steep cliff-like ledges loomed in the distance, though their heights remained obscured. This would remain so until Ethan had the unfortunate chance of stumbling upon them and noticed that many rose up just to his chest, while several others towered over him in height. Even this would cause the lad to try to scale their heights, risking life and limb along the way, or to spin back away and trek back the way he came. All of this cumulated into a singular tree. The tree was large, with many branches that swelled around it and caused it to look more like a shrub in presence. It towered nearly seven or so feet in the air and was blocked on either side by large pines and impressive oaks that pressed tightly against it. This seemed to be the only way forward for Ethan. And while it was impossible for a human to take down on their own – unless they were a skilled lumberjack who wasn’t hunting for Pokemon encounters with a team of their own, because Pokemon logic – should Ethan have a team member who could chop it up into perfect log-sized pieces, he’d find a pathway forward.

All of Ethan's Pokemon agreed to returned to their Pokeball, saved for Felime who prefer the heat outdoor. In the morning, when he was awakened by the cat's paw, he looked outside and was surprised by the sudden growth of trees. He took a few steps toward the path he used to set up the camp, and was surprised by the sudden growth of the large tree. It made no sense in a weird way unless you break the fourth wall and included some illogical loopholes in your narrative.
Thankfully, Ethan had the perfect Pokemon to do the job. He sent out a Pokeball that didn't see the starry sky last night, and ordered the Zigzagoon to used her sharp claws to CUT open the weird tree. We'll never speak of this tree again, as Ethan took good several steps back and waited for the loud tree to fall down with a loud thud.

Tree sama fell to the ground with a mighty thud. Its roar was amazing and one that signaled the end of an era. The flora came to reclaim the land, telling this human and his Pokemon that they had no business in this forest. Yet Ethan wasn’t done, and unleashed his fierce little raccoon that hacked and slashed the mighty trees up as though they were chopped liver. A small pathway presented itself before them, where they could travel down or wild Pokemon could wander up at their convenience. And do you hear those wild Pokemon screaming at the top of their lungs about Ethan needing to respect their beauty rest? I sure did! Something stirred through the tall grasses that the tree previously blocked. It slithered angry that its sleep in until the weekday workweek began. Why did it need to wake up early? All the eggs were hatched, and the misses already slithered off with a larger and more impressive snake. So if this strange beast who hated sleep and all things holy was here to cause problems, then the wild snake was here to show them the door! Man, can’t even get one moment to yourself without someone or something messing that up! Hmp! “Do YOU MIND!” Ekans hissed, slithering out of the tall grass in front of Ethan and his team. It coiled long body up underneath its head and rattled its tail angrily. Who was this young man’s manager?! Ekans surely needed to speak to someone and file a formal complaint. This wasn’t the lumberjack they ordered from Jirachi’s Wishlist! They promised to be quiet as a lamb and as respectful of the wildlife around them as can be. “I should teach you all a lesson for being so rude!” Ekans snapped firmly after thinking about it some. It hoped that at the very least, Ethan would lose his license and would never be able to cut trees down again so long as he lived and breathe. Such a rude boy! “I expected to sleep all weekend, now that I’m finally child free, but NOOO! Can’t have that can I?!” Ekans snapped sarcastically. A Wild Ekans Appeared! Level 35.

After the tree fell down, the momentarily awkward quietness was interrupted by a hissing sound that approached them. The purple danger noodle was hissing and rattling about something that made it angrily, presumably the fallen timber. Ethan wasn't sure what it was saying, but he knew that his Zigzagoon would not be a match for this job.
"Felime, can you swat this Ekans away?" He tossed out a Pokeball to release a beige furred cat. The Persian took a minute to lick her paws before readying to throw hands at the poison type! She sauntered forward for a casual Fake Out to either slap or to pet the rude snake. Then, when she got her next opportunity to attack, she would use her claws to Scratch at it. The Ekans would probably be better off hiss at the sky like the one Charizard had encountered, as Ethan don't speak Ekansian.

Ekans refocused its attention on the large feline that stepped out in front of its path. The misses wasn’t returning any time soon. It wouldn’t even matter if Ekans rejoined the wild egg collecting forces that rewarded its hard workweek with a tasty egg throughout the cold, harsh winters. It was summer, no need to worry about how roofs were kept over your head and all that jazz. Maybe it would just stop showing up. “Are you suppose to be threatening?” Ekans hissed, pointing the rattle tip of its tail at Felime, and frowned. “Because you’re absolutely not.” Felime moved in swiftly, slamming her paws down on either side of Ekans’ face. The snake recoiled, slithering to hide up underneath the overturned tree. It narrowed its eyes angrily down on Felime and hissed underneath its hidden cover. “That was some cheap trick!” What was that, even? Claws for words? Ekans didn’t even strike yet, couldn’t she have given it the benefit of the doubt? Sure, Ekans was definitely GUNNA strike. But it didn’t. That’s the important takeaway here. That made Felime the bully, not Ekans, obviously! “I’mma report you to Snake Bully Forces. You’ll serve your time in Snake Jail for this heinous attack.” Ekans snapped. Felime reached up underneath the log with her sharp claws, striking wildly around in the dark. Ekans tried everything it could to avoid being sliced up into smithereens. He dodged and slithered hither and thither! But Felime’s claws were just way too sharp and precise. Ouch! Oaf! Yooowwccch! Ekans slithered back out from underneath its hiding place on the opposite side of the log. “Fine, fine, you win for now. I’m going off mate, whatever. Tch.” Ekans hissed and slithered off into the forest nearby. It wasn’t going to stick around and be made into some fancy boots or something. Humans were weird like that, weren’t they?

Felime simply purred non-descriptively at the Ekans, as she did not feel the need to answer that question. She quickly executed her strikes, slapping and then clawing at the protesting Ekans. "Yeah, yeah, sure, I'm sure your jail would only fit a Rattata. She finally replied, unbothered by the venomous snake's useless words. After scratching in the dark shadows of the trees for a while, the cat finally scratched the snake! Ethan sighed relief as another Ekans fled the scene. He thanked Felime's help and returned to his camp and began putting away the camping tent. He should probably start to head back to Mishu and deliver that "new studying track" thingy as part of the trade to camp a night here. First, he would make sure the camp fire was truly out and won't be re-lit to start a forest fire. OOC: encounter, day time.

HIIIISSSSSS That's the trainer who hurt me officer! Right over there, with his trusty little cat who has rippy claws that tried to take my scale off. Yep, that's the one. Lock them away! Please take them away? Ekans returned with another snake slithering beside it. It was scared. Troubled. Though Felime defeated it in battle, it made good on its promise to try and lock her away for good. Why should they get to treat the wilderness like their playplace, slicing and dicing the local wildlife however they felt? The second Ekans stopped short of Ethan and Felime and looked them up and down with a simple 'hmm' and a nod. They were definitely ruffians, it could tell. Nothing good could come of these two. "Hang back, Ekans." The newly arrived Ekans, with a leaf somehow crudely cut to look like a makeshift badge 'pinned' to its side with mud stated to the Ekans Felime had already beat up. "Please lock them away and throw away the keys." Ekans hissed sadly, then slithered far off to watch from a safe distance. 'Officer Hiss', as the wild snake often referred to itself as, lifted its head high up into the air and stared Felime in the eyes daringly. It wasn't going to let bullies live in these forest rent free. It wouldn't even let them escape the forest without paying for the crimes they commited. "Did you or did you not bully that poor Ekans over there?" The wild Ekans demanded to know from Felime's own mouth. "And mind you...I've seen all the evidence that states you did. So I want honesty, you understand?" Ekans stated accusingly. Now, would Felime come clean? Or would Ekans have to do this the hard way? A Wild Ekans Appeared! Level 36. What will Ethan do? Let me know when and I'll bring Mishu into the mix. Also all encounters are any time of day, but I suspect that's you just saying switch to day?

Ethan quickly poured water at the logs he burned last night to lit the flame, that should do it to quench the flammable logs. Then, he slowly worked his way to remove that tent he had set up. This shouldn't take him too long to do.
The Persian hadn't even settled down for a nap when she had heard a hiss again. She turned and saw that the Ekans really brought along another Ekans. She purred maliciously as the poison type was thinking to interrogate her! How dare they! She walked up to the new Ekans and patted the snake (Fake Out). "There's no bully here, Ekans, why do you think of that?"
"Now, what is this evidence you speak of? Let me come take a look!" The Persian replied, with her claws readied to "retrieve" the evidence. (Scratch)

Persian immediately retaliated against the accusations laid before it. A criminal if ever Officer Hiss had seen one! The Ekans had been around the block a time or two and it knew that criminals never admitted to their crime. When they did, at least they knew that they’d done wrong, and they could be helped. But all the rest of them? Lock them up and throw away the Klefki! “You’re really going to sit here and say you didn’t scar the other snake up and almost take it off this planet?” Officer Hiss declared indignantly, not believing what it was hearing Felime say. She patted Officer Hiss, causing it to recoil (flinch) in surprise! The way the other snake described this cat’s claws…definitely nothing like what Felime had shown to it. They were supposed to be disastrous. One smack and you were flying all the way to the dwarf planet Pluto and back! But Felime was gentle enough not to cause Officer Hiss to cuff her paws with its long body…yet. “The allegations against you are fierce and the evidence is pretty…” It hummed, pressing its tail to the bottom side of its chin for a second. “…believable.” Then Felime demanded to see the evidence?! That was for the Court of Scales! “The other Ekans’ evidence is with their Lawyiss (Lawyer + Hiss).” Officer Hiss admitted with a sharp hiss. It tasted the air for a second and paused. How to best handle the situation…how to best handle it… If it locked away another innocent Pokemon behind boulders than it would have to answer to all the other serpents who had been saying it was strung out on its own power lately. “Tell you what. We’ll get you set up with a date in our Court of Scales. Show up with your Lawyiss and your defense. We’ll see the evidence from both sides, instead.” Officer Hiss admitted, then slithered away. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bwani/persian.gif) Felime gained 1800 EXP. 50*36: 1800 Felime increased to 4230/3781 EXP!Felime gained 1 level.

no screech
Felime snorted a giggle, what silly Ekans these things were saying! She confidently looked at the poison type and spoke sternly, "I said what I said." She then let the snake rambled on about accusation, crime, and court. What kind of wild Pokemon were so organized to resemble a human society? Back when she was a street cat, it was every Pokemon for themselves. There might be an occasional alliance for common enemy, but they were temporary!
She purred a response and saw the Ekans off. "Yeah, yeah, sure!" She knew dang well that her human won't be staying in this strange wilderness for days for her to see the court date!
Ethan continued to take down the tent. The assembly was dissembled, and the tent now needed to fold the right way for him to pack it into his backpack. Did the Spinarak last night caused a problem or a jam in his tent? As some parts were folding or creasing weirdly. He attempted to try to remember how it was folded when he opened it. He wasn't one to camp outside a lot, as he usually stayed in Pokemon Center...

Reign of the snakes continued! Another slithered out from the murky depths of the surrounding forests, it sharp eyes watching Ethan and his team expectantly. They were large and imposing, having scared away all of its siblings and snaky friends of the past. It wasn’t deterred, though. It was a savior of snakes. A hero that the world needed! The Justice of Slithers that the world begged for in this dark and dreary life! “You stop right there!” Ekans snapped, raising its head up high and waving it dangerously in the air as it sized Felime and her trainer up carefully. A powerful cat beside a…uhm…Kangaskhan? It heard of these strange kangaroos but had never seen one before. The clothing that Ethan wore looked like very strange pouches, though, and it couldn’t spot any young popping their heads out of the pouch. So what was Ethan, really? “You thought you’d get away with your misdeeds? Not while Superhero Rattles is on the case!” Ekans boasted about itself. What superhero would exist without a superhero name, right? That’s where Superhero Rattles came in. And can you hear its tail? Ratttlllleeeee! That’s exactly how Ekans got its superhero name! So Felime and her Kangaskhan friend better turn right back around and hop on off before things got ugly fast. “I’m giving you only one chance to leave now, before I make you leave. You will not harm a single scale more on my slithery friends!” Superhero Rattles prattled on. A Wild Ekans Appeared! Level 34. What will Ethan do?
