It was legitimately too much to ask for Eden to be both helpful and polite about it. They were just about willing to waste their very precious time to assist a complete stranger on something with no benefit to themself or any promised reward, when they absolutely could have just walked past and done nothing at all. The gesture itself should have outweighed any attitude they might display, since with all of their limited 'niceness' already being used up, they couldn't possibly need to do more than that for the person they were helping. The owner of the stall apparently thought differently though, and Eden scowled back at the ungrateful arse of a woman as she had the audacity to wish harm on her current saviour. "Oh, you know what? Virgilia, stop, let the bird get her, we're not helping her anymore." Fortunately for the lady in question, the Purrloin had already begun her attack, and by the time Eden's words reached her ears, the bird had been pinned to the ground and the claws raked effectively across its wings. She responded all the same though, trotting back over to Eden to sit beside them and lick at her claws that had been used more aggressively than usual. "Look at you being just too good," Eden replied, unable to be annoyed about the victory. Besides, they had another idea anyway. Taking a step towards where the remaining Spearow huddled on the rooftops, Eden pointed in the direction that the old lady had begun to flee in and raised their voice so that the wild Pokemon could hear them - though truthfully they had no idea if they'd be understood anyway. "She went that way, go for it. We won't interfere, we're out." In a perfect world, they'd have had some kind of food item on them that they could throw in the direction of the wicked witch of the stall too, but maybe that would have been going a bit far. Eden was just thoroughly fed up with the people of this town asking for their help and then being so goddamn ungrateful for it. Their Skitty and Purrloin trotted up behind them as they began to trudge off down the street again, ears perking as Eden grumbled to them, "That's it, I'm not helping anyone else in this stupid town."
I know Glameow fainted but does Skitty get anything for participating?

Just as Eden allowed the other Spearow to attack the old lady again, the city was filled with the loud sound of wings beating into the sunset and angry cawing. Despite knowing it was Eden who had defeated their fallen comrade, the furious flock sought vengeance for the intrusion into their territory. With sharp eyes filled with wrath, they chased after the woman, leaving behind a trail of brown and black feathers. Some onlookers observed the ordeal and laughed. " Hah! The old bat had that one coming!" one of them remarked, giggling. And that was that. The people of Cherrygrove CLEARLY had zero appreciation for hardworking trainers attending to their whims and problems. However, the city was not solely occupied by ungrateful humans. Eden could hear the slimy steps of a Quagsire approaching, slap slap slap. The Pokémon walked up to her, staring with its dopey expression, its two brain cells hardly ever connecting. A spark of recognition glinted within its eye. " Ohhhhh... Pretty humaaan!" it groaned slowly, cheerfully. Drawing closer, it cuddled up to the trainer; it must have been playing in mud recently, as with every move, it spread more filth around. " Humaaan preeetty! Preseeeent, yeees," it gurgled, reaching out with its fins, holding a surprisingly clean set of items, shiny Great Ball, Poke Ball and a Friend Ball. " Preeetty like huuuuman!" Seems like not all is bad in Cherrygrove... Eden (unwittingly) made a new friend and was rewarded with Great Ball, Poke Ball and Friend Ball for just existing! What a nice Quagsire!

Through their many ordeals, Eden had been making their way further and further towards the outskirts of town, not yet entirely committing to venturing out into another route and onto an entirely new destination. The trek here had been difficult enough, and since arriving in Cherrygrove, the opponents that they had faced had not been easy to defeat. Granted, swapping half of their team out had probably not been the most tactical decision to combat that, but they had wanted their kitties with them the whole time and it had merely been unfortunate circumstances that had kept them apart until now. Besides, Bulbasaur and Sentret were still with them, and both had proven themselves in battle already. Eden had simply avoided using them in the last battle to give her kitties a chance to shine. With the team healed again, Eden had gotten as far as the very edge of town this time with all three cats out beside them, still skirting around the earliest section of road, not wanting to move into dangerous territory unprepared... not that the town had been entirely safe so far either. Still, this brought them close enough to a resident that they had not interacted with, one whose footsteps they did not immediately clock. It wasn't until the groaning sound reached their ears and they felt something press against them that they realised such a large Pokemon was beside them. They even briefly smiled at the affectionate creature... until they saw the mud. "Oh no!" they inevitably cried. "Oh no, oh no!" Clear distress to those familiar with their tones, but surprisingly similar to the Quagsire's groans all the same. Perhaps the creature would hear an acknowledgement in their whining, an effort to speak its language and to connect on a deeper level, and not simply a vain young person agonising over the state of their clothes. They didn't even notice the gifts initially, with Valeria the Skitty acknowledging them first, batting at one with a paw before picking another up in her mouth, mewling a thank you to the happy creature as she bounced off with what she perceived to be a new toy. Volumnia the Glameow approached a moment later, a little cautious but clearly looking for a ball to play with as well, collecting both of the other Pokeballs from the Quagsire with a nod of thanks herself as she deliberated over which one she wanted the most out of the pair. And all the while, Eden was wailing and swiping desperately at the mud on their skirt and wishing yet again that they could just go back home.
I'm so sorry lil Quagsire, I am very grateful even if Eden is too distracted to say it themself haha <3

As Volumnia went for the Great Ball, she'd find that it disappeared from right in front of her, something darting by like a shadow! The ball that had been reserved for last had been taken right when everyone was the most off guard! As they would trace the shadow to its source, they'd witness the scourge whom had assaulted them and taken their gift from them! How dare this evil being, what could ever do su- You have encountered a Level 9 Bidoof!Egad, it was the terror of novice trainers everywhere, the terrifying Bidoof now stood before them on a rock taller than Eden, the sun beating behind them as they stood there with an arrogant scowl, letting out a 'DOOF!' [ 'These should not belong to outsiders such as you! Quagsire may be nice, but I don't care! I will stop you! HEE HOOOO!'] The Bidoof then put the great ball in its mouth and would turn around, kick with a hind leg twice, let out a sound of flatulence, before leaping down laughing with an unwarranted ego, thinking it had accomplished something special. ============================================================ [OOC note: You still have the great ball OOCly and can recover it ICly whenever if you wish to use it to catch Bidoof.] Encounter Rolls

Virgilia the Purloin was the first to acknowledge the intruder. While she hadn't been in a rush to choose her gift from the blue Pokemon, willing to let Volumnia dither over her choice first and take what was left, she was not at all okay with a thief stealing it away from her. She let out a hiss of anger as the Bidoof took the ball, batting a paw at the Glameow that she blamed for its loss. A brief hissing match between the two ended in the Glameow reluctantly backing down and chasing after the Pokemon that had stolen the Great Ball away, leaving Virgilia with the Friend Ball that had been left behind, and an oblivious Skitty still playing with the Pokeball itself. Eden meanwhile was thoroughly distracted trying to get the mud from their clothes. They had rushed off towards the Pokemon Centre they had left not long ago, dashing straight into the bathrooms and towards the sinks, leaving their trio of kittens to fend for themselves - though quite frankly, they were probably better off like that than with their fashion conscious trainer for guidance. Eden hadn't even noticed the gift of the three balls after all, and would have just stormed away from the scene without collecting them if it had not been for the desperate need to fix their clothing first. They'd realise that they'd forgotten their own Pokemon shortly, and would surely go back to collect them later, but obviously there was a far more pressing matter to attend to before that. The Glameow traced the thief and gave a warning growl, hoping to be able to just take the ball back without incident. That didn't seem likely though, so as it started to retreat, she followed much quicker this time, launching a Fake Out at the Bidoof in an attempt to halt its escape.

Bidoof was rather gassy today but that wouldn’t stop it’s pilfering of things that didn’t belong to trainers. They were loud and rude, always stalking their way around an area as though they owned everything around them. It was pretty presumptuous of them to want to just take all these nice gifts that Quagsire brought, too, without first making sure they weren’t the property of the forest. Another loud bubble gut symphony of sounds slithered loudly from Bidoof’s rump as it waddled off, taking each step in stride. “Next time remember who told you NO!” It laughed. “Twas I, mighty Bidoof, stopper of weak trainers!”Volumnia rushed out of seemingly nowhere and slapped Bidoof against the sides of its face. It jumped back, dark charcoal irises widening in alarm. That really hurt! Who dare told this weakling they were allowed to lay a claw on the mighty Bidoof!? “Surely you just didn’t realize who I was. Right?!” It spun around and batted its eyes. Another breath of rank air escaped its derriere and by now there was no way that anyone could just easily ignore the smell. Oh…that Pecha Berry it had earlier definitely wasn’t settling on its stomach right. Ufff! Uggghh! It was gonna… No! It couldn’t! Bidoof backed against the rock and pushed its head to the side to try and hide its face as waves of nauseus washed over its body. Momma always said leave the fallen berries that had strange white fluffy growths on them alone. Bidoof should have listened…oh. Owww…why didn’t it listen?! “Oh I didn’t realize my stomach was going through a world war…aahhh! Heh. Well, no matter! I’ll let you have it if you try that again, novice! You’re not ranked high enough to hold council with me today!” Bidoof insisted.
