Aglaia didn't pull anyone back, although it surely would have been the smart thing to do. It was good her pokemon could take things into their own paw and save the day, and it was good that Tornado was so people friendly he cared more about his trainer than other pokemon. It was not so good that he got hindered by the spores. "Not my human! Go take revenge on someone else!" Tornado shouted back and bristled, "your threats means nothing! We will take you down one at a time until you are all lost, there will be no stopping me!" With that Tornado raced forward and straight into the cloud of spores which made his muscles spasm and he tumbled to the ground where he twitched and fought to regain control.
"Oh no!" Aglaia gasped and bit her lip, this was not going very well. She didn't get that people kept saying there was nothing to be afraid of when traveling in the wild, did they never get surrounded by angry wild pokemon who wanted to hurt you? If they didn't Aglaia very much wanted to know what she did wrong as she thought she ran into angry, scary pokemon all the time! Why couldn't they just be happy and play around and train for fun? The young adult glanced down at the two toddlers whom were the reason for this mess, hadn't they thrown rocks around in the beginning it wouldn't have happened. She couldn't really blame them though, as they were young and were just trying to defend themselves against the first hoppip that attacked them. "Where are that rescue party?" She mumbled annoyed, they had sounded like they were just about to come out from the trees so what took them so long? She wiped her brow, it was getting really hot now, or was it just because she was sweating from the pressure?
Aglaia exhaled to calm herself down, she had to think. With a whole group surrounding them, she would need more pokemon out, especially with Tornado being out of the picture with that full body paralysis. She let out the pokemon she recently had caught for Lei in the BCC, a strange bug pokemon named a rellor, which Lei had asked her to train it the moment she saw it over the video call. She also let out a scyther, also one of Lei's, bugs should do well against these grass types, right? And Delos was electric so he should help too. "Katana, go help Tornado. The rest of you stay close and be ready to defend us," Aglaia ordered nervously and pulled the toddlers closer.
Delos slowly left the others as something shining in the grass caught his attention.

"They should be coming soon, I hope I didn't walk too fast." Emilio replied Aglaia, looking around to find that rescue party. Katana cried out when she took over from the Bunnelby. Then, the Hoppip scattered purple powders around them, making the flying bug type felt sick and made a sickened sound. "Heehee! Don't you dare breathe in our direction!" The Hoppip giggled at the sight of its successful poison powder. However, the bug type was relentless, and flew speedily toward the Hoppip, in one quick swoop, the Hoppip was knocked out. The gang of Hoppip took their fallen comrade inside their circle, shielding it from further attack. However, now that Aglaia also had more Pokemon out, the Hoppip found the aggression to face them head on, as they inched closer. "WAAHH! I'M SORRY! PLEASE DON'T GET ME SICK!" One of the two kids cried in fear, after seeing those sickening purple powders. "I DON'T WANT TO BE VEGETABLE!" The other kid joined in as well, with tears on their faces. Suddenly, there was a loud caw and a very warm stream of air. The Hoppip were battered and felt weakened from the heat, and fled (or hid) for the time being. In front of them was a Pidgeot and and two humans. "Good job, Page! That Heatwave scared them good!" The female trainer and rescuer cried out. "Are these the kids?" The man asked Aglaia and Emilio quickly. He knelt down and beckoned the kids. The Tangrowth next to him also had an opened arms. "It's going to be okay. Your parents are waiting for you. Don't cry now.""Emilio, you walk fast! And Miss... Thank you for keeping the children safe." The woman spoke to the young girl. "Would you like to come with us back to town to make a statement about your side of the story with the lost kids? If not, I could just scribble some notes. You could remain anonymous, I am sure their parents will thank you."Wild Encounter Weather: Harsh Sun [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Hoppip LV 11 HP 0% [0/32]

Katana showed how effective scythers were and why the gym leader Bugsy was respected. Katana sped over with buzzing wings and with a quick swat she knocked it out and swatted it into the flock of flying grass types, they shielded it quickly. She landed beside Tornado with her scythes spread threateningly as she glared warningly at the surrounding hoppips. Then suddenly a warm wind came blasting through and the hoppips scrambled off into hiding, Katana looked worried at the humans who arrived, were they friends or foe?
With the hoppips out of the way, nothing was standing in between Delos and the shiny thing he had found. He flashed excitedly as he tried to get Aglaia's attention to what he had found, but she wasn't paying any attention to him. When he looked around to see why, and spotted the other humans his eyes widened and he dived to grab the shiny thing so he could bring it to her before the others claimed it.
Aglaia barely got to feel the relief of the first hoppip being taken out of the calculation, as the two toddlers began to screech their lungs out and made her wince. It forced her to pay attention to them and try calm them down, which she wasn't very successful in. She wiped her brow once more when a warm gust swept over them, but then she brightened at the sounds of other trainers. She smiled relieved when they finally arrived and she nodded eagerly at their questions. "Yes, I believe they are the ones you're looking for? It sounded like it when I asked in Azalea," She said and glanced at the still wailing kids. "I'm glad you came, those hoppips were scary! But otherwise we're unharmed." "Yeah! I'm fast!" Emilio exclaimed proudly, "see?! I told you I would lead them here!" He told Aglaia and she smiled and praised him for it, saying they were just in time.
Aglaia was about to politely reject the honor and praise as it had been a coincidence they had run into them, and chasing off wild pokemon was just what every trainer would do. Emilio was faster though: "YEAH! WE'LL DO THAT!" He shouted excitedly and Aglaia realized this was going to be an easy way to get him straight back to town and his family, so she agreed. With all the distractions Aglaia didn't notice the evolutions before a couple of unknown and twice as big as before pokemon were suddenly standing in front of her. The rabbit had some intimidating huge ears that looked like they could pack and punch, and on her other side a very round pokemon stood with a sheepish look on his face. She flinched but as Emilio kept demanding to know who the two was, since they clearly knew them, she checked them with her pokedex, and learned they had both evolved. Aglaia used the excuse of them needing to get the kids back home as soon as possible to quickly recall most of them, and usher Emilio to lead the way.
Hyping Emilio all the way back and getting him to call his aunt and uncle to come and watch as they got thanked by the small kids parents were tough work, but worth it as Emilio was so much easier to handle and was more than willing to go with his family. Aglaia let herself dare to believe he had forgotten.. right until he shouted as farewell, "Don't forget our deal! I wanna be the bestest!" She confirmed reluctantly and pleased Emilio began to tell about his new pokemon to his family.
Aglaia took some days off, she needed to rest after that trip and being "on" and alert with the responsibility for so long, but in the end she couldn't push it off any longer and after some final preparation she met up with Emilio again to help him bond better with his new pokemon.

A well-deserved break was taken after the rescue of the children. Given this oppressive heat, many people were taking it easy and either staying indoors or enjoying some shade. Whether an intrepid trainer stayed in the shade or braved the sunnier parts of the route, there was one thing very evident. The local hoppips were LOVING this weather. Whole swarms of things were floating through the air like dandelion seeds, catching the tiniest breezes and floating away on their pinwheel like leaves. Sometimes one would land, mewling cutely before launching itself back into the air to join the others. The people of Azalea looked unsurprised and undisturbed, as if they expected the hoppips to be at large when the day was so sunny. As Aglaia faced a new day in whatever way she chose, perhaps admiring the infestation of happy hoppips or avoiding them, she would pass by a pair of men that looked...a little out of place. One was in a poorly fitted suit and the other was in a hoodie, both looking like questionable characters from a larger city, like Violet or Goldenrod. One smelled a little strongly of booze as they passed (as if he'd taken up day drinking) and as they grumbled at each other, neither seemed to notice her presence. As they shuffled by she would hear a brief snippet of their conversation: "...do you mean it just 'got away'?!" "It escaped!" "A newly hatched baby pokemon just 'escaped'?! How incompetent are you?" "Don't worry, it can't have gotten far, we can—" If she was inclined to follow them to hear more, that was interrupted by a joyful hoppip flying right into her face, latching on with its little nubbin legs and making a happy 'pip' sound. What a nice spot to rest on!
A [LV 11] Hoppip is enjoying this sunny weather! (Maybe a little too much)

Aglaia would have preferred to wait until the heat wave had passed but as it seemed to drag out, Emilio got impatient and kept visiting her at the pokemon center and bugging her to start training him again. His Aunt and Uncle had been happy to see him and listen to his experiences, and to Aglaia's relief they had managed to tame the poochyena just enough for them to accept it around their nephew. When Emilio accused her of abandoning her promise to him, she reluctantly agreed and soon they were setting the course towards the route again.
"Alright, we need to stay in the shade, otherwise we might risk heatstrokes," Aglaia said as they left the town and Emilio grinned, "it's like we're in the desert! I'm prepared!" He told her for the hundredth time pointed at the white clothe he bound around his head, pretending he was a desert nomad. He had also told her countless time how much water he was bringing, which most likely was his aunt and uncle's idea. From how he described all the safety measures as cool and clever, Aglaia guessed that his Aunt and Uncle had been really good at putting those ideas into his head. Even though it was hot, their Pokémon enjoyed being outside their pokeballs, they were rather calm as this weather didn't really invite to a lot of physical exercise. It was good as Aglaia had more than enough to worry about with all those potential dangerous hoppips floating around, from her last experiences with them, they were unpredictable and aggressive. Who knew what they could do?
"Rio!" Frigg suddenly gasped playfully, with nervous darting eyes she slapped Emilio's rattata with a paw and ran off, the rat darted after and several of the other pokemon followed happily to join the game of tag. Aglaia shot a frowned glance after them but her attention soon got caught by something else. She tensed at the sight of the not so gentlemen looking men and briskly walked past them, Emilio caught on to her changed mood and fell silent, looking nervously at the two shady humans. When Aglaia smelled the alcohol she grabbed Emilio's arm tightly and walked even faster, she shot a quick glance over her shoulder when she hoped they had gotten away far enough, hoping they hadn't followed them.
"AAAAAAH!" Aglaia screamed when one of the hoppips attacked her face! She ran in panicked circles and flailed around while Emilio ran after her and shouted useless suggestions she didn't hear. She tried to slap the hoppip off her face, although she was too scared to really touch it.
Several poke-heads popped out of a nearby bush and stared speechlessly at the scene. Then Frigg raced forward only to be passed by a much faster Katana, who would be a master of removing the hoppip from Aglaia, hadn't the human managed that on a less graceful way already. Now the only thing they needed to make this worse, was if all the ruckus attracted unwanted attention.

The screaming did indeed catch attention. The men who had walked by, looked back, though there were people between them and her now, so they didn't see the riolu trying to rush to her aide (at first). They did, see, however, a scyther move to cut the hoppip right off her face with a gentle false swipe, but before it could...well... <Oooooh! Calm down, friend! Caaaaaallllm,> the hoppip soothed, patting its perch's cheek, spewing pale blue pollen everywhere. Pollen that Katana breathed in as she darted closer. Before that sharp claw could cut the hoppip off, the poor mantis slumped, falling to the ground with a THUMP, snoozing away. The hoppip giggled and wiggled to stand on top of its perch's head, nibbling on some hair. However, said perch smacked its side in an effort to grab it and pull it off, startling the little dandelion pokemon into releasing more spores! These were less soothing and more...spicy. Breathing them in would leave the human nauseated. Oopsie! (The shady men moved closer, backtracking, eyes narrowed.)

Aglaia really were tense when she hadn't noticed there were other people around them out here in the wild, if she had noticed she wouldn't have been quite as unnerved by the two shady men. She had believed she was all alone with the responsibility of Emilio as well, just as she now thought she was all alone with all the responsibility, against this aggressive hoppip.
Katana removed the hoppip from Aglaia and took stance in between her and the wild pokemon, to help calm her down. "Easy everyone, I have the situation under control," she said reassuringly and shot Aglaia a reassuring smile, which Aglaia wasn't quite ready to accept, heart still pounding. "Oh no! Watch out!" Aglaia gasped and pulled her shirt up as the air got filled with spores. Katana looked over and sighed resigned. "Alright, listen closely to me," she said out loud to the other pokemon who backed off along with Aglaia and Emilio, "I will fall asleep soon and I need you to find me a chesto berry. Find one quick and stuff it in my mouth," she explained urgently and suppressed a yawn, setting one scythe against the ground to try keep herself up and awake just a few more moments. "Chesto... and fast... just.. just held your brea..." she nodded off before she slumped down on the ground. "Nonononono!" Aglaia panicked again, and it didn't help that Emilio began to pull at her sleeve to try get her attention. He kept looking back nervously to where they had come from.
As the pokemon spread in all directions to try track down the mentioned berry, hoppip spread more pollen which just confirmed Aglaia's belief of it being horrible aggressive and a pokemon who just attacked unprovoked. Emilio's rattata shook its head of the other pokemon's reaction, and went straight to Aglaia. In one swift movement, so fast she barely noticed it had leaped in her bag, before it was out again with a chesto berry in its mouth. A deep breath and it darted through the spores as fast as it could, forced the berry into Katana's mouth and pelted back put where it rubbed its whole body against the ground to get the spores out of its fur. "I got one! Come back!" It called in between its cleaning and the other pokemon made it back one by one.
Katana soon stirred and yawned deeply, hopefully no new spores were filling the air. She got up and shook the rest of the drowziness off her. "Thanks! Well done," she called over her shoulder before she smiled to the hoppip and gave it a little nod, "clever, it's good I have friends to help me." She tensed as she readied herself to leap at it again.
"Aglaia...?" Emilio whispered and tucked her sleeve again.

The shady men pushed their way further along the trail. One of them stopped and nudged their friend with a cursory glance towards Aglaia and her team, to which the other one nodded with a gentle scratch of his chin. It was clear that something caught their attention, though it was just as doubtful that it could have been the battle between the small pink puff and Katana. One of the men’s eyes glittered like diamonds, his eyes searching Aglaia’s surrounding team of Pokemon as though he were calculating their relative worth quietly to himself. But maybe that was an unfair assumption to make without proof? Meanwhile, the small pink puff hopped down and giggled. As another gust of air swirled around through the tall grasses and lifted the small cottonweed up into the air, spinning it about wildly, it wiggled its short, stubby limbs in the air. “I’m flyyiinnggg!” Hoppip giggled, bouncing against the side of a tree, before falling back down on the grassy ground once more. It sneezed, causing several small poisonous spores to float up into the air around itself. Unfortunately, Katana rushed in at the wrong moment after being awoken by the berry and inhaled most of the spores. Katana’s long, sharp blades sliced into Hoppip’s side, knocking it sideways for the moment. “Oh, ouch! I don’t want to play cops and robbers!” The small pink puff hissed, spinning around while scooting backwards through the tall grasses. Why were they being so hostile? Hoppip tried its best to help Katan slip off into a quiet slumber. It wasn’t Hoppip’s fault that Katana’s friends helped her pop a berry to force her to stay awake! “I just think you need a nap…you don’t look so good.” She pointed with a frown. But Hoppip messed up her own spores and kicked up more of the poisonous bits by accident.

This didn't go well. Katana jumped up eagerly from her little nap and rushed at the hoppip, only to feel the unpleasant prickling of the poison on her skin, her airways and then in her lungs. Her shoulders slumped a bit although she continued forward to finish this. The hoppip seemed rather unfazed by it all, or perhaps it just forgot everything since it was excited about being able to fly and finally get away from the bug. Katana knocked it down into the grass again, and held her breath when the flying grass type filled the air with spores again. It tingled on her skin again, which made her frown as that didn't feel like the sleeping spores it was talking about. The bug glanced over her shoulder and when the spores had cleaned the air she called cheerfully out to the others, "who wants to have a go?" She smiled even though her legs began to shake from the unpleasantness of the poison which began to take hold of her body. A slight hesitation and Katana opened her mouth to say something encouragingly, but then a voice shouted, "I will!" Chestnut ran forward, "I can chase it off so that you can rest!" She continued to shout as she waddled forward, then fell forward and continued rolling. Katana raised a scythe to stop the seedot, she had wanted to guide them, but Chestnut just rolled past her faster and faster, going straight for the hoppip. Katana sighed and looked resigned after her, well she could probably learn something that way too.
Behind her Frigg was fidgeting nervously, she should have done that, shouldn't she? She was meant to be a brave and outgoing pokemon, who protected the ones around her, so why had she hesitated?
When Katana jumped to her feet again, Aglaia's panic eased and she tried to get control of her breathing. "Aglaia.. Aglaia!... Aglaia..." the urgent whisper from Emilio finally got her attention, her heart began to race again when she picked up on the fear in his voice. "What is it?" she asked and he sent a fearful look at something behind her. She looked in that direction and her eyes widened in horror when she saw that the two shady men from before, clearly were interested in them. "Nonononono," Aglaia whispered panicked to herself and Emilio began to cry as he clung to her clothes. What should she do?!

<Oh, hiiii. Do YOU wanna play? The last pokemon wasn't very friendly. I think the sycther needed a nap.> The hoppip chirped, floating through the air to land on top of the acorn pokemon. Spores were thrown everywhere. Fortunately for Chestnut, those spores didn't effect it. <Though they breathed in the wrong pollen and got all sick...I didn't meaaaan to do that. But they were being rough.> Shaking a dandelion did get seeds thrown everywhere, so one should know better than to do that to a hoppip! That was just a good way of getting spores to the face.
However, Chestnut wasn't here to play. The acorn tensed and took the moment of distraction to start rolling, crushing the hoppip underneath its body and flinging it into the bushes. Down and out in one. Huzzah! No more overly friendly kitten-plant trying to cling to faces. The moment of joy would be short-lived, though, as the men who had doubled back to look over Aglaia's team had spotted Frigg. Sure, the scyther and seedot were interesting and uncommon enough, but their eyes landed on the riolu and didn't budge. The younger man in a hoodie took a step forward, only to be stopped by the older man in an ill-fitted suit.
They weren't close enough to smell the stale booze on the younger man's rumpled clothes, but his eyes were cold and focused, lacking any haziness of inebriation. His older companion muttered something to him and they separated, going opposite directions to fade into the small crowd that had gathered to watch Aglaia get harassed by a hoppip. It was hard to keep track of them, especially split up like this! Only one thing was clear.
Those men were after Frigg.

Chestnut raced into battle rolling wildly, and is it often was with such reckless attack, she missed the hoppip completely and unrolled to see where it was. Katana sighed and hid her face with a scythe defeatedly, "ugh that was anything but straight, no wonder she missed! How can I teach her to keep track of her direction?" She said to herself. Chestnut had trouble finding the hoppip, right until it landed straight on top of her head! "Hey! Get down! Get down and battle me!" Chestnot hollered and jumped around, spores spreading anywhere, although she didn't even notice. "Don't touch my friends! Get down here and battle me this instance!" Katana shivered from the poison but squared her shoulders, "Chestnut! Now would be a good time to start rolling!" She suggested and cut the seedot's protests short, bu simply suggesting it again. Chestnut sent her an annoyed glance but did what she was told, and somehow both managed to roll the hoppip under foot and sent it flying away. "Impressive! How did you do that?" Katana praised with a laugh, while Chestnut looked rather stunned after the hoppip. "I don't know, but that was a great suggestion!" She shouted back and got a strange look on her little face, just before she got engulfed in a lot of white light.
The evolution and the other pokemon's cheering went unnoticed by the trainers, they were far too busy to worry about the shady men who seemed to be splitting up. "I'm scared!" Emilio managed to get out and Aglaia's training kicked in. The two men acted like a pair of thieves in a shop, where one often tried to distract the clerk while the other stole the things they were after. She took a firm hold of her bag, "keep a close eye on your bag," she whispered to Emilio, who was calming down now she clearly took charge, he pulled it off his back and held it close to his chest. "And don't play a hero," she added. Her parents had drilled into her that she was far more important than anything in the shop, so it was better to let them get away with some stuff, or give them the money in the register rather than get injured in an attempt to protect the material stuff.
"Can I help you?" She called out to the one who was closest, or most visible, sending glances over her shoulders to try keep an eye on the other. She dragged Emilio with her closer to the pokemon, not because it ever crossed her mind they could be the target, but because she wanted their protection should the potential dangerous men be aggressive. She mentally prepared herself to hand over money or items she expected them to demand of them, it was not like they had brought much of that with them, and it was certainly better than Emilio or herself getting hurt. Where was all the people who had been around a moment ago?!
The pokemon looked around puzzled when Aglaia called out, and they looked at the one she had addressed, not noticing the other, wherever he was. Katana probably would if she hadn't still been woozy from the poison her body still fought off. Frigg narrowed her eyes at the man, there was something about him she didn't like, but she couldn't quite put a paw on it. She closed her eyes and concentrated with a paw stretched out towards him, trying to read his aura, she groaned frustrated as something behind her kept distracting her, it was hard to concentrate and read one aura when it flimmered and acted like it was in several spots at once!
Wordcount: 619 (rellor 2540->3140) (ooc: Chestnut was level 12 before, so she is now level 14, which she has correctly been updated to in the party. That means she evolves to Nuzleaf and forgets Tackle to learn Razor Leaf. I also assume the Rock gem has been used now she successfully used rollout, so I have replaced it with another (now 10 left). Nitten evolves, learns protect and ability changes to Shed Skin. Frigg forgets Feint to learn Metal Claw. Self updated all)

The crowd afforded both men easy cover. One made off like a bandit, veering eastward and snaking back around through a tangle of trees, where he could easily obfuscate himself to go by undetected. He wouldn’t remain in this spot, instead sneaking about like a snake in the grass, poised and ready to strike. Frigg was the target, their only target. They would remain faithfully rewarded with such a lofty goal, if their inebriated partner managed to keep his wits about him long enough to see the mission through. The inebriated partner? Slunk off towards the west, though managed to still find their footing lost a bit amongst the fold as he paused, words stammering on the tip of his tongue. “Lookin’ fer a good bar, sweetheart! I’m good!” Footsteps pounded against sand until they eventually landed on pavement, placing space and distance separately from the other. She couldn’t be onto him, right? The words were slurred, mixing with a strange sort of sound as though they were spoken as one long word instead, with quite some fumbling along the way. Once he’d managed to find his purchase – a small, secluded spot in the back of an alley where the intoxicated fellow was able to readily release two small gas bags with the click of a button – he would whisper to his Pokemon, who understood the assignment all too well. They floated back into view as a pair and raised their ugly heads high above the crowd, with eyes that stared at Aglaia for a moment as though remaining decisive, before turning to some other individuals instead. Thick, toxic fumes spewed from the holes in their bodies, instantly covering the area in a thick, strange cloud. The people dispersed in a moment’s notice, feet tearing through sand and grass until they managed to find safety within their homes and businesses. Some were not as fortunate, however. Small children clung to their parents as they coughed furiously. Some disabled elderly, try as they might, couldn’t quite wheel themselves away fast enough to escape the quickly spreading fumes. Would Aglaia intervene at least long enough to help clear the area and keep the air safe for those that had to breathe it in? Two "wild" Koffing are causing a ruckus?? Will Aglaia protect the people of Azalea from their fumes? Mod Notes: Double Battle! (*Technically belongs to inebriated fella) Koffing Lv 9 [Levitate]: Tackle, Smog, Smokescreen, Will-o-Wisp TM Koffing Lv 9 [Neutralizing Gas]: Tackle, Smog, Smokescreen, Destiny Bond EM (Gen VI)

The stealthy man went completely undetected as their focus was on the other, who managed to keep them distracted just fine. It would probably have been enough if he had stayed around and chatted Aglaia up, although there of course would then be the risk of her pokemon to become suspicious and look around. Aglaia watched the drunken man leave while still on high alert, she slowly exhaled and unclenched her hands when he was gone. Sounds returned, and she noticed they weren't alone after all, as several other people were out and about, even though they hadn't seem to notice her little scare. She smiled relieved, her training from working in a shop had helped her once again. "It's alright, he's gone now," she said reassuringly to Emilio. "I'm not scared!" He protested and rubbed his tears away furiously.
"Why is he acting so weird?" Poochyena asked confused as it tilted its head, "first he's scared and water running from his eyes, and now he's all acting proudly, what's his place in the flock?" Rattata was nibling a spot on its foreleg which was itching, "he's a kid, that's his spot," it answered without looking up and Poochyena looked baffled at the rat. "A pup?! But he's so big!" the little wolf protested and Rattata chuckled, "not if you compare him to other humans, he has a lot to learn." Poochyena looked Emilio in a completely new way.
Time went by, or so it felt, probably were less than half an hour, Emilio and Aglaia had some more training to do, but at least they avoided anymore of the aggressive hoppips. Mostly they spent some time having Emilio bond with the poochyena, who was still wary but clearly was warming up to them now. "What is you going to call the riolu?" Emilio suddenly asked and Aglaia stopped dead in her tracks. The little fighter turned to stare at her trainer intently. "I don't know," Aglaia admitted as she hadn't really thought about it, she rubbed her arm uncomfortably as she didn't really think of the riolu as hers yet. And Frigg's eyes widened in alarm momentarily before she closed them shut and with an arm stretched towards the young trainer, trying to convey her name and feelings. That was what riolu's could do, right? "I don't know, Rio perhaps?" Aglaia suggested, she usually wasn't the greatest with names. "RIO!" Frigg protested and stared furiously at her trainer, the two humans watched her for a moment. "I think she likes it?" Aglaia said hesitantly and Emilio grinned, "She says it all the time! I like it!"
"No! No my name is Frigg! Nooo!" Frigg protested and stomped her feet, "why don't you get it?!" Katana walked over and put a scythe on the riolu's back to calm her. "It's just a name, many will change names through life. We make our name," she said quietly and Frigg pouted it as she crossed her arms, "it's not my name! I don't want to be called Rio, not when my real name is Frigg!" She huffed a few times and then sulked, "I'll find a way to show her! I will!" Katana sighed and patted Frigg a few times on the back.
It would take a bit of time for the koffings to reach the two trainers since they were released in town, obviously close to the edge, while Aglaia and the rest was out in the areas surrounding Azalea Town, still close by of course but they were surrounded by trees. Eventually they would make their way back out, trapping the other humans out here with no place to hide from the toxic gasses.
"Oh no, this is going to mean trouble," Aglaia groaned when she saw the two toxic pokemon floating closer. "We have to help them!" Emilio gasped and pointed at the group of disabled elderly who looked they they had been on a picnic. "Yeah, but we need to smart about this," The older trainer said, and thought to herself they also would need to do something about it, to not be caught in the gasses themselves. "Ugh, like one thing isn't enough, sand too? Probably someone who aren't controlling their battle," she groaned as she spotted what the weather was about to present to them on top of everything else. Aglaia scratched her head as she tried to figure out how best to do this, and how to avoid they all went down poisoned.
"RIIIOOO!" Frigg screamed and rushed forward to challenge the two floating gas balloons, "Nuzleaf!" Chestnut declared as she too ran after the little blue dog. Katana looked exasperated to the sky before she took flight and landed abruptly right in front of both of them, stopping them in their tracks. "Calm down, we need to figure out how to do this the best!" She adviced, while Frigg began to argue that they didn't have time for that. Chestnut curled down in preparation for the upcoming battle.

The poor elderly folks were trying their best. They had been enjoying the beautifully sunny day when the duststorm rolled in, and they had been trying to pack up to leave when those terrible 'wild' koffing started to spew smoke everywhere. Both of the pokemon floated closer, menacing the pair, forcing them to stop rolling their wheels to cover their mouths, eyes wide with alarm. If this was a trainer battle gone awry, they had clearly lost all possible control over their koffing! It just wasn't right for them to spew black smoke everywhere like this around humans. However... There was method to their madness. When Katana got between the little human's other pokemon, as if to stop them from interfering in haste, the koffing exchanging a look. One breathed in deep and SPEWED the thickest clouds of black smoke it had yet, causing shouts of alarm from the crowd. It swamped the area and made it difficult for anyone to see much of anything—poor Chestnut however got the worst of it, as some of the stuff got into his eyes. The other koffing did much the same action, but instead of smoke, bright, ghostly flames seemed to spew everywhere, with a couple embers landing on Katana and searing the scyther with an intense heat that burned beneath her exoskeleton. Using the chaos to his advantage, the younger man in a hoodie smirked and ducked under the cloud of smoke. This would be easy-peasy...he had a taser and a bag. He just had to find that riolu, stick'em with the taser to stun her, then snatch her in the sack. Then he could exist stage right and be gone before anyone noticed he was there. Perfect!

"What should I do?! What should I do?! I want to help! How can I help?!" Emilio demanded to know loudly, while tugging at Aglaia's sleeve. She sent him an annoyed look and scanned the area quickly. "Go help them! We need to get them away from here, find them some shelter!" Aglaia said as she pointed at the group of struggling elderly. Emilio lightened up, "I'm on it!" He shouted and ran towards them with his two pokemon racing after him. Aglaia watched him run off and thought he looked very small beside the wheelchairs and rollators, and it was clear it was limited what his two small four legged pokemon could do. She glanced at her own pokemon, Katana, Frigg and Chestnut would have been helpful but two of them were rather distracted at the moment. "Rio, go help Emilio get those people to safety," she asked and pointed. Frigg wrinkled her nose momentarily but decided now was not the time to fight for her name and she ran to help the boy. Unknowingly that also made her an easier target for the bad guys, since she before had been in the middle of the group and in plain sight of Aglaia, now she was without protection.
Chestnut staggered back coughing from the smokey gas which surrounded her and stung her eyes, with the dust whirling around as well this was really a hell of a battle. She needed to move fast and end this, and she needed to move to get away from the smoke (even though most of the had already dissolved into the dust storm). The nuzleaf stumbled forward a few steps and then curled to get a round shape so she rolled forward unsteadily. "Wait! It will be very hard... to hit.." Katana tried to stop her but trailed off, the nuzleaf didn't think much about her actions it seemed, the scyther didn't understand why she didn't realize that if it was hard to hit rolling around from the beginning, that it would be even harder when her vision was impaired.
"Here, it will help you." Katana jumped startled as Aglaia suddenly appeared and handed her an ice cream cone. The scyther stared at her incredously, she didn't have time to sit and enjoy a snack, what was the human thinking?! "It will help on your burns," Aglaia elaborated and Katana huffed but took the ice cream carefully with her scythes, she barely noticed those and could battle fine anyway. She hesitated a moment and then smeared the cold ice cream directly on her burns, while Aglaia's mouth fell open in shock. Katana smiled, the ice really had dulled the pain from the burns a lot, she grinned to Aglaia as thanks and then leaped into battle. Chestnut had obviously missed her target by a mile, now rolling around somewhere behind the two koffings, Katana leaped at the one closest to her with her scythes at ready.
Wordcount: 493 (rellor 3374-> 3867) (ooc: Chestnut's attack is fluff, using her turn to use an casteliacone on Katana (self updated, now 2), Katana uses False Swipe on Koffing numbler 2. Also, the koffings should have been level 9, from what I can see from Cara's notes ^^ Noting that I have giving Frigg a note that Aglaia calls her Rio.)
