After his theatrical night with the Kimono Theater, Ethan returned to the Pokemon Center and rested for the night. Once he woke up, he visited a tasty restaurant to try it one last time, before heading back toward the Pokemon Center. The battle with the multiple and possible Eevee evolutions made him realize how his Pokemon needed a little power up.
He grabbed some Pokeballs and sent them out into the garden. Then, he grabbed some discs that he had been saving up to teach his Pokemon some snazzy new moves. He also arranged his Pokemon party to prepare to train some of his weaker Pokemon. Once he was done improving his Pokemon's capabilities, he began packing his lodging as well, and prepared to head to a commute stop outside of Ecruteak. It would take him back to an earlier route for the Alolan Trials, but first, he would like to take one last leisurely walk in the area.
The air was cooling as the colder season gradually came. He zipped up his jacket and walk casually as he heard a rustle in the bushes. He grabbed out a Pokeball and hollered his Baltoy to use Calm Mind.

That little rustling in the bushes was a Pachirisu. The tiny squirrel was rummaging around, foraging for food as all wild animals were wont to do with winter closing in fast. Its white fur flickered through the gaps in the shrubbery, contrasting sharply with the bright hues of autumn leaves. Though with the frost clinging to the ground and branches, there were gaps where in summer they would be lush. Tiny paws crunch along as it dug up leaf litter to uncover nuts and berries. And it was blissfully unaware of the baltoy until it had its cheeks full of crunchies and hopped out of the bush. There, it paused, eyes wide. <These are my bushes! Get your own! Do you know how hard I've been working to prepare for winter?> the Pachirisu scolded, lunging forward and bouncing harmlessly off of Disco to try to scare the odd creature away from his territory.

"It's okay! I don't usually eat nuts and berries!" The Baltoy spun as it replied. Since it was a sentient Pokemon made of inorganic materials, like clay, it would much prefer consuming minerals and earthly grounds as its food source. Once in a while, it might consume a berry in a pinch for whatever occasion that would be.
"Oh... just a Pachirisu." Ethan muttered calmly as this wasn't some strange new Pokemon that would look interesting either. He thought he had enough electric type Pokemon as it is.
"Send it away with an Earth Power!" The trainer gave a simple order. The ground type cried and channeled its inner magic power to shake the ground.
"If it helps, I can help shake the ground around here, so the berries and nuts fall to the ground and it's easier for you to prepare for winter!" Disco cheerfully hummed as it spun and drew the power of the earth underneath to shake the trees.

EEEEK! The startled Pachirisu squeaked as the earth beneath it began to shake and tremble and quake. It couldn't escape. No matter how it scurried and ran, the earth kept crumbling beneath it or surging up. It scratched and flailed and floundered, failing to find purchase with its tiny paws. It couldn't avoid being hit forever. So instead, it curled up into a tight little ball and just endured. Held on for dear life as its world shook and shivered and it was sent flying into the air. Its defensive position allowed it to bounce when it returned to the ground. Aching. Flustered. But still not defeated. It unfurled and got back to its feet, trembling violently in shock. Poor little Pachirisu was wide-eyed in awe and terror. This thing that apparently didn't want its berries was terrifying!

ooc: premier ball bc i have a couple
Originally, Ethan was thinking to just let his Baltoy claim victory from the Pachirisu after shaking up the earth. However, when the electric rodent curled up into a ball and somehow managed to survive the Earth Power, this gave him a different idea to capture it.
"Well, this Pachirisu didn't want to be sent away. Heh. Stay there, Disco. We're catching it!" Ethan complimented the electric type's effort as he dug into his bag for a Pokeball, but this time he grabbed a Premier Ball because it kind of match the Pachirisu's fur colors, for no reason! With eyes on the Pachirisu, he hurled the Premier Ball and watched as it flew toward the opponent for a capture.

The absolutely traumatized little pachirisu just sat there, wide-eyed and shivering as the ball flew at its head. There was no attempt to dodge or struggle. The ball just bounced once, opened up, swallowed the rodent and fell still after a couple wiggles. A rather uneventful catch.
However...
As Ethan moved to pick up the ball, there would be a terrible gust of wind and with it a deep, bone-chilling cold. The clouds above were starting to gather and darken. Within minutes, fat flakes of snow would start to fall, then pelt down as the wind whipped them into a fury. It might be time to get a move on. A storm was brewing and he was about to be caught out in it! Hopefully he was dressed well to travel in cold weather, or he was about to be very cold, very fast.
Pachirisu was captured!

amnesia over poison gas
After the electric rodent was captured, Ethan pocketed the capture device as the sky released a flurry of snow. Ethan quickly unzipped his backpack and grabbed a winter coat as he put it on. Hopefully double jacket would do the trick. Had it been the winter season already? Continuing his walk to the commute stop. He would have to be quick before his vision got buried in a blanket of snow.
Some Pokemon were scurrying and fleeing in the background as the snowstorm hit the area. Ethan could hear their noises and foot steps as they hide away. A few minutes into the storm, the young trainer could see something moving behind a tree and in the white screen in his sight. He wasn't sure if that was a human or a Pokemon or hallucination. Whatever the case may be, he would send out his Baltoy again for yet another Calm Mind.

The thing he saw was the soft glow of a fire-type trudging against the sudden onslaught. A young ponyta had gotten separated from its herd and was struggling to navigate through the wind and pelting snow, head down, flames dim. It breathed a few short, sharp breaths of fire to try to keep itself warm, steam fogging around its mouth. And upon spotting the baltoy, it mistook the other pokemon for possible shelter, and began to gallop faster, nickering with excitement. But alas, as it came upon the baltoy, it was sorely disappointed and sore. <Have you seen my herd?> it asked, shaking its head, wincing as large chunks of hail started to fall and bruise its hide. It could manage, but it certainly didn't want to just stand out here for much longer!

"I am sorry I haven't seen your herd!" The Baltoy hummed, monotonously. The weather was a little too chilly for it to be spinning and give a response.
Ethan saw the galloping Ponyta, as its red flames went from a blur of warm colors in the background to in front of him. He didn't have a need to capture a Ponyta, and decided he could just quickly send the fire type off as it had came. "Disco, use Earth Power!" He mumbled his command quick in the frosty air. Once this Pokemon was gone, he could make his way again to the commute stop.
"Well, I am sorry but I'm about to shake the earth. Maybe it'll even out the snow and it'll be easier to gallop for this small area." The ground type droned apologetically before channeling its inner magic to give the ground a good shake like opening a fresh can of soda after it fell and crashed down inside a vending machine.

<You're clearing a path? Let me see if I can help you out. It is hard to see, but I can provide some light.> The ponyta took on a bright blazing glow and ran around the baltoy, melting the snow and deflecting the worst of the hail with the intensity of the heat. Disco could indeed see a bit better with that help. The earth opened up and a path in the snow did clear! The ponya staggered a bit as the ground quaked, but it could see the ground more clearly now. <Thank you for opening up a path!> And without looking back, the ponyta ran off, jumping over the upturned earth, still glowing bright like a bonfire. Disco could rest easy knowing it had done a good deed today. Or maybe it didn't care. But unintentionally or not, Ponyta was helped just a little bit and disappeared into the storm.

"You welcome, Ponyta!" the Baltoy hummed as it sent off the Ponta running off in the hailing weather. The path had cleared up once again, and Ethan hurriedly thanked his Pokemon's help. Should he stumble upon another wild Pokemon in this snow again, he would send out Disco once again.
With everything in front of him covered in blur of white, Ethan made his way to the commute stop again. He wondered if they could even drive in the snow, and it would be really frustrating if they had to stop service. Although before he could think about that, he would also have to make sure he was heading toward the right direction. Well, the clear path that his Baltoy and the Ponyta opened up wasn't the direction he was going for, but he'll keep walking forward.

Indeed they would encounter another bright glow in the distance. Disco would grab some rocks and hurl them at the glow, revealing a ponyta, this one smaller than the last. It stumbled and shook itself, clearly unable to tell where the attack came from. It's tail flicked with agitation as it tried to find even ground again. Another lost member of that herd, perhaps? Maybe the distant glow of the city had disoriented the ponya and made them mistake the lights in house windows were the manes of their peers. This storm had kicked up fierce and sudden, but it was impossible to say how long it would last... <Hello?> it cried out. <I don't want to fight...> Wild Encounter Weather: Hail [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Wild Ponyta LV 22 HP 11% [6/56]

"Another Ponyta? It must be the snow..." Ethan muttered under his breath as the storm picked up. This won't do him good if he stay out too long. He was starting to think he should really head back to Pokemon Center for his own safety for now. "Disco, send the Ponyta away and clear some path with Earth Power again!"
Disco hummed and spun once in response. "I don't want to fight either. Are you lost with your pack? I saw another Ponyta just a little earlier. Perhaps, I could clear the path for you too? Just hold on tight on the ground!" The ground type spoke sternly without skipping a beat to give the fire type a quick heads up. Then, its body glowed yellow as it summoned another Earth Power to even up the snow-covered ground for the Ponyta to head away.

"You saw my herd?" the ponyta cried out over the storm and buffeting hail. It nickered in surprise and excitement, blowing smoke rings and taking on a bright, fiery glow as it tried to repel the ice. "I will be careful. Just show me the way." The ponyta carefully danced about as the earth shook and the snow was kicked away from the trail. Seeing a clear path now, the very thankful ponyta raced around the baltoy before running away as fast as its long legs could take it. The wind howled ferociously, full of promise of more to come. But could Ethan outlast the worst of it, or should he listen to his instincts and head for the shelter of the a pokemon center to wait it out there? The glow of the fire type would rapidly fade in the distance, his line of sight rapidly obscured by those whirling winds kicking up a mess of snow. His skin would be getting a harsh beating from chunks of hail. Nothing large enough to do more than nick the skin and make him bruise or bleed, but nobody wanted a large hunk to the head if this got bad.

OOC: Ethan is wearing jacket so his skin shouldn't be hit by hail? ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/j4x3M6WbsBpReeVALlIv.png) Ancient Power on encounter The second Ponyta disappeared into blindingly white blurry snow as the trainer and his Baltoy sent the fire type off. Ethan once again quickly thanked his Pokemon and then returned the Pokemon once again. He doubled checked his clothing before continuing on again, as he pulled and tightened any zips that he could find. Then, he stuffed his hands in the comfort of his jacket and disappointedly trekked back as he headed back toward the Pokemon Center. He didn't care who or what he would encounter next, as his goal was to head back to the safety of Pokemon Center. Should he encounter another Ponyta or Pachiirsu, and whatever other Pokemon living in this wilderness route, he wouldn't hesitate to send his Baltoy to maneuver the earth to send the wild Pokemon away. He could use a cup of warm water or tea from the Pokemon Center right now.
