They certainly had gotten out of the heat of Cherrygrove, Aglaia and the kid she was escorting, rain was pouring down and thunder rolled after each flash of lightening. The two walked in silence through the pouring rain, keeping well away from the trees, they could have stopped and waited it out in Union Cave but they had silently agreed they rather wanted to continue even if it was getting dark and the weather was horrible. The travel had been quiet and easy, the kid who was named Emilio wasn't a chatter and he had answered Aglaia's few polite questions with monosyllables. He didn't have his pokemon out often, but it seemed as unsure as Aglaia had a feeling Emilio did, and she certainly wasn't the one he wanted to open up to. At least he seemed to perk up a bit now, even while he was certainly drenched to the bone.
It was still weird to Aglaia why they had suddenly turned to her of all people, yes she had been around and with the Police Officer, but she was still a complete stranger whom they chose to trust their kid's safety with. She shook her head, and the boy glanced up at her, she of course wouldn't harm him, but how would his parents know that? "Let me know if we should find shelter," She said and he hummed as answer but kept going. Aglaia thought to herself he probably would want to get this over as fast as possible, they had walked since they got off the bus on the other side of the mountain. If she had been in his shoes, she would have wanted it to end quickly too. They continued on in silence with only Mistrun running ahead of them and Sinclair floating behind them.

Rain drummed on the new leaves of spring, and on the hood of Aglaia's raincoat. There were little to see in the dark other than the shadows of the trees and the ropes of the falling rain. It was dulling and soon her thoughts were straying as she walked on, just being aware enough of her surroundings to stay on the path. "What's that?" A voice whispered and Aglaia snapped back to reality and stared confused at the little person beside her. It took her a few moments to catch up and remember why she was here and with whom, Emilio pointed to something in between the trees which looked to be skating over a pond.
"It.. I think it is a surskit," Aglaia said and Emilio looked quickly at her. Aglaia frowned as she couldn't read the expression he had on, he tiptoed closer to the pokemon. "What are you doing?" Aglaia called out quietly, "don't you want to get out of the rain and to your family?" "I just wanna look!" He whispered back and Aglaia sighed, now he wanted to other stuff while traveling, couldn't he have chosen another time than in a storm like this? Lightening flashed and the surskit was bathed in light, it cheered and spun around itself. It paused as something low crawled out to it and the two watched each other nervously for a moment, then the surskit asked for a dance and soon the two splashed around in the weather in a funny kind of dance.
Aglaia narrowed her eyes, that second pokemon looked really familiar to her. She looked around but only Sinclair was still with her. Emilio giggled, "they are having a lot of fun! They really like the rain!" The trainer half smiled, she could let Mistrun have a bit of fun. It had warmed the kid up a bit and it was nice having him talk a little bit.

"Hiiii! What are you doing? It looks really fun!" Mistrun greeted the surskit excitedly and the other bug pausedits dance to look at her. "Isn't this awesome?! The rain, the thunder, the excitement! I feel so alive!" The surskit called back with a huge grin, "everyeon else is just complained about being wet, but look at what they miss out on!" Mistrun nodded eagerly along and another lightning lit up the area as if it was day, making the wet trees momentarily having all their details visible before the darkness swallowed them up and made them to big looming figures again. "So what are you doing?" Mistrun asked again a bit hesitant, not sure if the surskit had answered it or not. "Celebrating life of course!" The surskit laughed, "wanna join? Show your joy and excitement! Let your body express it all!" The surskit shouted and spun around itself and skated out over the water, "the whole world is your toy now! Enjoy it while it last! Don't worry, all the predators are hiding, they don't like to get wet." Mistrun scurried forward through the water a bit hesitantly, twitching and throwing out a leg here and there a bit unsure, she was not used to just let go and act crazy.
"Don't worry! Relax," the surskit called and filled the air with a sweet scent, which did make Mistrun relax and she giggled bashfully, she usually was so outgoing that this was a rare feeling for her. She exhaled and rushed after the surskit, swiping a leg at it playfully and managing to swipe its legs away underneath it so it splashed into the water covering the ground. Mistrun stared horrified as the only sound which was heard was the drumming of the rain and the rumbling thunder. Not a good description of silence since a lot of sounds was drowned out by it, but I'm sure you get what I mean. The surskit pushed itself up again and Mistrun pressed herself against the soggy ground and pressed her antennaes down over her eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I don't know why I did that, I just wanted to give you a friendly nudge and it went horribly wrong, please don't have me! I just wanted to play and try be outgoing but it went totally wrong," Mistrun rambled and got cut off by a blast of water which made her splutter. "Calm down, that was nothing!" The surskit said reassuringly and giggled, "I do have very thin legs so the smalls pat makes me fall over," it shrugged, "believe me, its not the first time and it won't be the last either." It slidt forward and gave Mistrun a nudge, a mischievous grin and then it sped off looking back several times to see if she followed. The wimpod caught the meaning fast and ran after it, catching up surprisingly quick and gave it a nudge back.
"Let's let them all play!" Emilio said cheerfully and let out his rattata, who instantly lowered its head, ears and tail ina clear display of not liking the rain. It crawled below its trainer in a hope to find a bit of shelter there. "What are you doing? Don't you want to go play with the others?" He asked it and it shook its head vigorously, "Why not?! They are having so much fun." Just as he said that, the two bug and water types ahd their little misunderstanding and Emilio ducked his head and pouted. Meanwhile Aglaia let out some of her other pokemon, it was good to know what they thought about the rain. "Come on, just say it," Emilio said grumpingly and Aglaia forgot about her pokemon to look confused at him. "Say what?" "That thing about pokemon always being friends and we should be more like those," he said annoyed and crossed him arms. Aglaia looked puzzled a him and then back at the now playing pokemon, "why would I say that? They are not always friends."

"I knew it!" Emilio exclaimed and slammed his fist into the palm of the other hand and made Aglaia look startled at him. "They are monsters! Savage beasts who just looks for the slightest weakness to jump you and tear you apart! They are ferocious and territorial and will always be looking for a fight! They are battle hungry and will always go for the kill, always, but if you are as tough as them you'll get their respect and they will fight for you to become the strongest since that is all they care about!" Aglaia stared more and more horrified at the kid as he rambled, his rattata glared at Aglaia but she didn't notice it. "Wait, wait! I did not say that!" Aglaia protested shocked and Emilio looked at her sulkingly. "You said they weren't friends, so that makes them enemies," he argued and Aglaia stared speechlessly at him for a few heartbeats, splashing reached her ears and she glanced at the playing pokemon. "Do they look like they are killing each other?" She asked rhetorically and he looked at the two water bugs and deflated, "no."Rattata exhaled relieved rubbed reassuringly up against its trainers leg and gave Aglaia a stern look, which she didn't notice. Aglaia rubbed her head perplexed and wondered if she ever wanted children, were she and Dorthea just as bad and strange? "why did you want them to be fighting and not be friends?" She asked bemused and he looked away, just when Aglaia thought he would never answer he mumbled so quietly that she almost couldn't hear him for the thundering rain. "It's cool. Friends is for babies."Aglaia looked at the little figure standing beside her, his face hidden by the hood of his raincoat and revealing little about his emotions or thoughts. They were silent for a bit as Aglaia thought, watching the playing pokemon and their other pokemon getting more and more wet without showing any signs of wanting to join the game. "I'm afraid that pokemon in that manner are boring like people," she said after a while, thinking that he thought the powerful pokemon were cool and fascinating instead of the kind ones you were probably introduced to as younger. Aglaia herself understood his thoughts of pokemon being aggressive as she still fought with her fear and expectations of them all wanting to lunge at her at first sight. "Have you been warned about going out in the wilds without any pokemon to protect you?" Aglaia prompted and Emilio nodded, "and why do you think that is so?"He turned to face her, and his face lightened up, "because it's dangerous!" He said hesitantly hopeful and Aglaia took a step back worried what she had started now. She turned her words in her head to try avoid him misunderstanding and doing something stupid. Meanwhile Becci watched the humans chatter about unimportant things while she was getting more and more soak and diluted by the water. She raised her arms and saw how the thinned slime she was made off practically was running off her, if she didn't do anything there wouldn't be anything left of her! Byg had climbed a tree and was sitting on the trunk and watching, it wasn't completely dry but at least he didn't get rained on or sat in a puddle. A quick check by Becci made it clear she wasn't going to find any shelter under the leaves, so that left one thing to do, she made her way towards the playing bugs, she had to end the game so they could get going. She wasn't aware of the gases she released in her annoyance and the surskit accidently hit her with several attacks, half thinking she was going to join the game. Now Becci had no qualms about what she was about to do, when she was close enough to the surskit she simply swung an arm at it, wanting to knock it off its feet.

"Why do you want it to be dangerous?" Aglaia asked to buy her some time and Emilio grinned, "because its cool!" He said excitedly and jumped up and down, Aglaia blinked startled and wrecked her brain for a good answer. "Why is it cool?" She ended up just asking and Emilio opened his mouth but nothing came out, he slowly closed it with a frown, "because.. because they don't follow the rules... they don't.. do as they are told, they do what they want to do and they run around out here in the rain and the storm and chase anyone off who wants to tell them no!" The kid startled slow and hesitant but then became more and more secure. "That's not danger, that's protesting or anarchy," Aglaia pointed out and Emilio frowned and said quietly, "it isn't?" "No," Aglaia said relieved and shook her head, "What you are talking about is freedom from rules, or at least being able to decide for yourself. Danger is.. like jumping from a tall tree, or waking an ursaring from its nap." Emilio frowned deeply as he thought and Aglaia held her breath in the hope she had managed to convince him. The kid's rattata looked at Aglaia perplexed and quite pleased.
In the meantime Becci had made its way over and knocked the surskit off its feet bluntly. Its grin dried on its face when it saw Becci's expression and it sent Mistrun a little smile before it zipped off into the darkness. Playtime was over. "What did you do that for?" Mistrun asked perplexed, and Becci answered through gritted teeth she didn't have, "to get out of the rain! As long as you two were splashing around we others were stuck out here!" Mistrun muttered an apology, even though it technically hadn't been her problem and followed the grimer back to their trainers. There Becci managed to get Aglaia's attention and get recalled, after the human had apologized for forgetting them outside of the pokeball. Emilio's rattata looked hopefully at its trainer but he didn't follow her example.

The two trainers continued through the storm, the wind made the treetops bow deeply and the rain made the grass flat. Emilio seemed to have lightened up, and while he didn't say much, he now gasped, jumped startled and cheered when a specific big lightning flashed overhead, or giggled when a loud rumble of thunder could be felt in the chest as well. Aglaia had her head between her shoulders and flinched each time a lightning flashed and wished to be out of the storm and somewhere safe. "Hey Aglaia! Is this cool or dangerous?" Emilio called to her with a grin, and she shot him a glance. "Stupid, that's what it is, stupidly dangerous," she answered dryly and he laughed and cheered at another flash.
Not long after another kind of crash was heard and they paused to look around, but in the dim light in the stormy night it was hard to see anything. "There!" Emilio shouted and pointed excited as a lightning flashed, it was gone before Aglaia got to see what it was. "I and Rattata will handle this one!" he declared and sped off, just as another lightning flashed and she saw the mankey sitting on a broken branch, already looking furious. "No! Wait!" She shouted after him, "Byg! Get in between and distract it!" she ordered as the spinarak was the first one she saw, the bug leaped down from the tree he was currently sitting on and scurried after the kid and his rat.
The mankey was jumping up and down and screamed at the sky but what exactly it was angry about was heard to tell, they would need some background history to get to know the full story. That wasn't what Emilio was aiming for though, "go Rattata! Tackle attack!" The kid shouted his order delighted and the mankey turned slowly to glare at him. Aglaia felt the blood drain from her face, now the monkey had someone to let its frustration out on. "I'm gonna catch it!" Emilio shouted excitedly back to Aglaia who could easily imagine how thrilled his parents would be about that, now they didn't only got a unruly kid but also a rambunctious pokemon to handle. Just what they dreamed to get. Of course it would need Emilio to be successful but the typing was not to his advantage. The mankey jumped down from the branch and directly down at Rattata, whom it grabbed and threw away. Emilio's mouth fell open as the mankey pounded its chest and then raced at the rat again. It only got halfway before something seemed to annoy it and it began to flail and slap at itself like it was terrorized by mosquitos.
Aglaia caught up to Emilio and grabbed his arm to pull him further away. "It's a mankey! A fighting type! And a ornery one on top of that, not one you want to have on your team unless you are really, really skilled!" She hissed agitated to him, "how is your rattata doing?" she added a bit more calm when she felt they had gotten to a safe distance. Emilio had become very quiet but recalled his rat and out again in front of him to check it over, Aglaia helped him as she realized he was quite shaken, and she reassured him that his partner was just a bit bruised. "So.. that was rather dangerous, wasn't it?" Emilio said with a faint, hesitant smile, and Aglaia couldn't help but chuckle and agree. She looked over at the battle, where Byg was making sure to stay between them and the angry mankey, they weren't out of danger yet.

Mankey swung down on the ground and grabbed a handful of mud that it slapped in Byg's face. Byg immediately hopped on Mankey's back and infested the wild pig monkey with millions of small flea-like bugs that caused Mankey to itch and scratch at relentlessly.

Emilio looked at the mankey for quite some time, "are you going to catch it?" He asked after a bit and Aglaia shook her head, "Definitely not!" She said firmly and Emilio fell silent, but only for a few moments. "Why not? Because its dangerous?" He asked a bit wistfully and Aglaia glanced down at him, wondering what it was with kids and wanting to test the limits all the time, and not only their own one. Had she been just as bad? "Because it needs a really skilled trainer to handle it, otherwise it will just wreck havoc where ever it goes," she explained and became quite surprised at his next question, "you're not?" "A skilled trainer? No, I wouldn't really say so," the young woman answered truthfully. No need to give the kid her long sob-story about how she had been forced out training pokemon against her will, which had literally started with her bawling her eyes out over it. She felt rather ashamed about it now. The kid was quiet and seemed to just file that information.
Bronzor suddenly turned in the direction of the mankey, and then floated over. It felt a lot of strong feelings that was swirling around like the winds in the current storm, most of them negative. This was someone who needed to be guided to a better path, it was caught in its feelings and didn't see the path which it would need to take. Of course it hadn't come to the temple it usually resided, to be honest it had no clue where it was or how to find it, but it knew its own path in life: guide others to find theirs.
Whatever it had been Byg had sent at the mankey, it didn't let itself get distracted for long, although it did keep its attention away from the rattata. The monkey grabbed some of the plentiful mud which was laying around from the storm and threw it in the face of the spinarak. Byg stumbled but then leaped and to his surprise found himself on the back of the angry primate, he just got to think to himself that this might have been a bad idea, when the mankey began to jump around to avoid the tiny insects crawling all over it. Byg wasn't trained for a rodeo and he was soon thrown off.
The bronzor floated down to hover right in front of the mankey's face and tried to get it to be reflected in its dull surface. It felt all of the fighting type's erupting anger and absorbed a lot of it to try free it from it, but there were just too much. Sinclair instead released it in a wave of confusion, to slow the rampage and get the monkey to be aware of its feelings and start controlling them.

Emilio soon opened his mouth again, he had really became talkative now he first had started and was aware of his surroundings. He had looked at Aglaia's pokemon for some time, studied them and thought about them. "How did you get those?" Emilio asked and pointed at each and every of the pokemon Aglaia had out, the rain and the darkness hid her reddening cheeks to the kid. "They are actually not mine," she confessed, "oh," he said as that explained why Aglaia had pokemon he had never seen or heard off but claimed she wasn't a skilled trainer. "Who is their trainer then? Are you borrowing them?""A woman named Leilani, and technically you can say I'm borrowing them to help her train them," Aglaia explained uncomfortable and Emilio was right on with his next question, "why? Can't she train them herself?""She could, but she has too many," Aglaia explained and Emilio interrupted her, "is she a collector?" He didn't sound like that was a good thing. "No, she's working for Professor Elm in collecting and researching on the pokemon," she said and hoped Emilio didn't start to drill into what that research was. "But why are you helping if you aren't a trainer? And why are you not just helping the professor himself?" Emilio rambled off. "I'm not interested in being a researcher." She doubted that was Lei's wish either, but she didn't want to explain all that to the kid as well. "And I am a trainer, I have my own pokemon, I just don't have any of them with me today, since I'm training Leilani's."Emilio was quiet for a moment, "what pokemon do you have?"Aglaia sighed, this was a better topic she thought, "my first is Saury my bulbasaur," she said and he chuckled, "Saury! That's a fun name." Aglaia ignored it and continued, "I got Shadow the purrloin but my best is Wystan my beedrill," she said fondly, "Saury and Shadow aren't bulbasaur and purrloin anymore of course."Sinclair looked frustrated at the mankey when it didn't calm down and realized it wasn't in control of itself anymore, its first attempts to get it to see the truth ended with a barrage of claws to the bronzor's face. The mankey stumbled back when it got hit by the full force of its own emotions but it didn't seem to stick, or to calm it down. Instead it narrowed its eyes in an everything but pleasant way at Sinclair, the bronzor readied itself for another blast of psychic energies to get through to the fighting type. Wordcount: 433 (ooc: Sinclair uses Confusion, Mistrun switches in. Noting that it's still Byg's information in the bottom of the battle screen, it isn't called Byg, nor has swarm as ability or has lowered acc removed the gem from Sinclair.)
