Another avian dived after them in hot pursuit, making Mishu question whether they’d accidentally stumbled upon Pidgeotto’s nesting grounds. They were known to try and catch fish out of bodies of water, particularly Magikarp. Given that the relatively open trail that led into the heart of Goldenrod City traveled alongside a large shoreline, it might have made sense that these wild birds of prey fished out of the ocean’s edges just a few feet away. Though, it felt a bit egregious that multiple Pidgeotto kept attacking her in quick succession, one after the other. Almost as though she were a young child running from a flock of Spearow in the opening episodes of their first anime debut!
“Kumaneko, we need your help in this moment.” Mishu snapped her fingers to call her fighting bear to the frontlines. There wasn’t much else to do, given the dangers that this stronger looking bird possessed. Batta might have managed against the other until he was rescued, but he had a clear disadvantage against these powerful birds of prey. And Shida wouldn’t fair any better, though she wanted to keep both with her for the time being to see what connections they had to Dark Type Pokemon. Shida was more readily studied and known about, it would just be Mishu’s first introduction to her line. Batta was brand new, and though nothing about Batta screamed ‘Dark Type’, the vendor she’d met selling them insisted that he had the capabilities of evolving into one.
Before Kumaneko could hop into action, Sakanae leaped bravely out of the water and flopped onto the snow covered ground between them both. All teeth, she flipped and flopped about, tossing piles of snow in different directions, and causing a general mess of things. Mishu laughed softly with a shake of her head as she pulled out Sakanae’s Poke Ball. “It’s about time you handle a real fight, bird!” The colorful piranha snapped, trying to launch herself high enough to get at the bird. “You think you’re so clever, skimming the water’s surface with your claws, huh? Think you can just snatch up any fish you want? Not today!” Though her speech would be short lived as Mishu recalled her with the click of a button.
“Sakanae, you’re simply not ready for this match.” She whispered to Sakanae’s Poke Ball, glancing down with a gentle smile before pocketing it. Mishu would then nod towards Kumaneko, hoping no one else would try to interfere with the match. She’d let Sakanae back out after the match, when the coast was hopefully clear of these strange avians who kept attacking them. “Use your Low Sweep.” Mishu informed, to which Kumaneko nodded firmly in understanding and leaped into the fray. She would wait until Pidgeotto swooped down low enough, then leap up and try her best to kick the bird with one of her feet sweeping out in its direction. “We’ll teach you to keep harassing our team!” Kumaneko hissed as she leaped for the attack.

Pidgeotto was no dumb bird and as soon as it saw Mishu swap out it sent a powerful Gust towards Kumaneko. It then made another move of it's own as it rushed forward in a blinding fast manner. The Quick Attack it unleashed struck quickly but barely left a mark on the young panda as she retaliated with a strong Low Sweep right into the poor Pidgeotto's beak. Somehow the bird was able to endure the hit but just barely as it could hardly move after such a powerful blow.

Kumaneko smirked, obviously proud of what she’d managed to do. The snow clung to her fur, burying itself underneath the dense coat meant to keep her warm and bit at her skin. This bird, like all the other avians that kept swooping at them from the skies above, was causing her to stand out in the bitingly cold environment. Something that Kumaneko wasn’t very happy about. “A broken beak is exactly what you deserve!” She huffed, placing her hands firmly on her hips and waited to see if her opponent would give up the fight.
Batta hid in the tall grass just a short distance away, shivering and shaking from more than just the freezing cold. Birds were absolutely everywhere! What was his trainer thinking! “What are they possibly after?!” The scared grasshopper asked himself loudly, pressing closer to the ground to try and blend in. He pulled at a few twigs nearby and stacked them around himself, trying to camouflage with the darker woody pieces. Maybe if the Pidgeotto couldn’t see him, it couldn’t hit him? He had to hope that there was a chance to fool these vicious looking birds of prey and keep himself safe!
“Well done, Kumaneko.” Mishu called proudly to her small cub. There wasn’t much doubt in the trainer’s mind, given the fact that Kumaneko had the obvious type advantage. Pidgeotto was a weaker Pokemon overall and seemed to be purposefully picking fights. “Keep it distracted long enough so that we can move further away. Maybe we can get just out of range of their nests.” Mishu insisted, then gestured a short ways into the distance with her team. She kept her eyes peeled, anxiously watching out for other birds like Pidgeotto to appear, while carefully moving further up the route.
Kumaneko nodded her head firmly with a quick huff. That would be no problem at all. These stupid feather-brained Pokemon didn’t know what they were asking for when they chose to pick a fight with her! She charged after the Pidgeotto once more with all of her speed. Kumaneko would leap up onto a small log that was leaning against a rock, trying to use it like a launching pad to help propel herself up into the sky. “Last chance to fly far away and forget you ever knew us.” She warned, one foot stretched out from her body in an attempt to sweep it underneath Pidgeotto and knock the bird clear out of the sky.

Well…their research wasn’t going too well. Mishu pulled out the small clipping she’d taken from the recent paper report on the sightings. It promised new Pokemon from the Paldean region that were known to kind of just tumble about in the wind. There were lots of rumors surrounding its typing, which intrigued the young researcher further. “Maybe it is only rumors?” She spoke softly to herself as she mused and shuffled through the snow covered grass as she trudged onwards. There was more to the search than just understanding the outbreak, though. Her Pokemon needed work before she was ready to face Whitney and her hard hitting “normal” type team that awaited them.
“Let’s keep searching.” She spoke to her team, who each hopped away in their own journeys through the snow and ice. Batta crawled just below the snow, wide eyes keeping a close eye out for the skies above. There had been so many winged avians lately that he didn’t trust it. What if another swooped down upon them when they least expected it? He was like a delicacy lurking through the tall grasses, just tempting them to try and carry him away as a midday snack. Batta knew that he needed to stay vigilant. “I’ll fight to the bitter end if they try it.” He muttered softly to himself.
Kumaneko raised an eyebrow curiously as she followed the small grasshopper. Batta always seemed rather nervous, as if anything could lunge out at him at any minute. She was the stark opposite – ready for a good fight. If these birds hadn’t learned their lesson already, she would have iron fists meant to help send the message home with a powerful punch! “I don’t think you have to worry about that.” She added with a smile, pulling the small bug into a tight hug. “They’ll have to face me before they get to any of my friends. Need my protection? You only have to ask!” She added with a wide smile, which did make Batta feel a little bit better about his situation.

Something shuffled through the tall golden blades bend near their edges by the heavy snowfall that layered on top of them. Mishu paused, large amber hues staring off through the whitened background carefully as she held open a small journal full of notes related to the Pokemon she’d come across on her travels. The strange tumbleweed rolled across the snowy landscape, large red eyes searching through the tall grasses for something not quite known to the avid researcher. “What’s brought you out here, my friend?” Mishu ask herself quietly, settling down on a large rock with a flat top like a seat as she studied the new phenomenon.
This would be an easy report back to Professor Elm. He was the one to ask her to investigate the strange swarms happening in the area that Professor Oak reported on. Immediately, Mishu fished her phone out of her pocket and began recording the strange apparition as one of her Pokemon hopped in front of the fray to try and understand their newfound friend better. Sakanae flopped a bit on the ground, spitting out mouthfuls of water to keep herself hydrated in the dry air that zapped most of her moisture away from herself. It wouldn’t take too long before she was hopping to the water’s edge nearby, though. “What are you doing out here?!” The brightly colored fish threateningly asked, ensuring that Bramblin meant no harm to her trainer.
“A strange Pokemon. It seems out of place in the snowy landscape. It is undetermined if the Pokemon were lost along the way to the Paldean event, or if they’re truly wild Pokemon swarming the area. Mishu jotted her notes quietly along in her journal. Professor Elm counted on her to keep a detail record, to which she tried her best to do. Did he share the researched data with other Professors, like Oak or Juniper? Mishu wouldn’t be so surprised if that was the case. She always strived to understand as much of the world as she could, so why wouldn’t they? Batta hopped out after Sakanae slipped back into the water’s edge and slipped up close to Bramblin in an attempt to tap it on one of its branches. “Isn’t it a little too cold out here?” Batta asked curiously.

Bramblin shivered from the snow and ice that layered the world around them. It was freezing and created an environment that made the tumbleweed feel as though it were trapped in a strange and desolate place. When Batta tapped on one of its branches, Bramblin rolled backwards startled from the approach. It shook itself, releasing thousands of tiny insects that immediately burrowed into Batta's flesh and dug at his health. He screamed, leaping back on his long jumping legs he usually kept folded up against his sides. That hurt! "Pl-please don't hurt me!" Bramblin bellowed in alarm.
Batta shook his head with a sigh, rubbing the spots on his back and sides where the burrowing insects took root. "No one is here to hurt you." He insisted, reaching out with his two small limbs to push Bramblin's branches away gently. Was this Pokemon that terrified of the world around them? A casual glance up to the skies above, where birds of prey circled hunting for their next target, and Batta couldn't really blame the poor plant. It simply isn't safe for anyone! "I just came to check on you. You know, make sure you're ok. You look like you're freezing out here." He spoke a bit more softer and gentler, hoping this didn't spook the wild Bramblin even more.
Bramblin unleashed a powerful burst of energy that pulled at Batta's health. He squeaked and shook himself from the impact. Bramblin buried himself in the snow, embarrassed he'd reacted so defensively against such a sweet Pokemon. "I don't mean to keep hurting you. I'm so sorry! I just keep getting attacked by wild Pokemon and these terrible trainers! And it is absolutely freezing out here! I don't know if I'll make it much longer in this horrible cold!" Bramblin cried at the top of its lungs, tears threatening to flow from the corners of its ghostly eyes. Batta hummed softly, hopped over to Mishu, and climbed up into her bag, pulling out a couple of random balls. "Here. Come with us out of the cold. It's the least we can do to help you. What do you say?" He offered.

Mishu observed as one of her Pokemon offered the wild Bramblin a Great Ball. It was fantastic research she rarely studied, though it wasn’t the first time something like this happened on her watch. They had a deep understanding of the manmade world they lived in, and seeing how easy it was for Batta to suggest such a thing to the wild Bramblin seemed like something you wouldn’t have considered before. Of course owned Pokemon understand what a Poke Ball is. She mused thoughtfully, scratching the bottom of her chin thoughtfully. But to seem them understand exactly how they’re used is amazing!
Who was she to argue with a new friend joining their force? It wasn’t ideal, given that Mishu had no purpose or plan for the wild Pokemon. She would, instead, find a trainer willing and capable of taking the tumbleweed ghost with them on their travels, so that it could still get the love and attention it deserved. Bramblin stared at Batta and blinked as it considered the options heavily. “I…” It stuttered a bit, rolling away at first as though it would reject the offer that Batta presented. Then, without missing a beat, it rushed towards the bright blue ball and slammed against the small button in its center with all of its might. “I’d be glad to join your team!”
Batta laughed. It was nice to see that Bramblin accepted the offer easily and wasn’t going to continue in a long, drawn out battle. “Maybe now you won’t freeze to death.” He hopped over to the great ball and used one of his powerful legs to kick it back in his trainer’s direction. Mishu bent down and scooped the small ball up, rubbing off the snow and dirt that clung to its metallic surface. “Everyone deserves a home where they can be loved.” Batta smiled warmly and chirped softly to himself. The snow and ice was a difficult thing endure! He didn’t like it either. Sakanae hopped across the ground towards the shoreline once more, splashing in the water with a gruff ’Hmp’! “It’s just lucky I didn’t finish it off!” She commented underneath her breath.
Kumaneko scoffed and rushed over to the shoreline where Sakanae was. Another strong opponent joined their team? Sakanae was young and barely hatched as it was, but Kumaneko could help her grow tough and strong if Sakanae wanted! “I agree with you there! We need to stay strong and tough. Wanna spar?” Though, whatever Kumaneko hoped for, it was immediately drowned out as Sakanae rolled her eyes with a quick shake of her head. Nope. Not a chance. “Why? That’s a waste of time. I don’t like wasting my time.” Sakanae stated firmly. Kumaneko growled softly underneath her voice. “Waste of time?! Keeping yourself in tip-top fighting shape?!” She snapped. Sakanae scoffed. “Just don’t let yourself get out of shape in the first place.” Kumaneko growled, trying not to let Sakanae give her a headache. “That’s exactly why I want to spar!” She insisted.

Shortly after capturing the Bramblin another Pokemon leaped out of the tall grass.

An angry rat snapping its long fangs in the air didn’t faze Mishu. She flipped through her booklet to a page dedicated to strange creatures and carefully doodled a small picture of the Kantoian variation with some generalized notes on its appearance. It was fat and round, an evident sign that it was well fed. Given its proximity to the city and its known proliferation of human rubbish, she had no doubts in this wild creature’s ability to steal or otherwise obtain general bits of trash and leftover scraps to sustain itself. And even if that weren’t the case, Mishu was fairly confident that Raticate was also an adept forager within the wild open grasslands near them.
“Careful Batta.” The educator warned as her small dark grasshopper jumped through the tall blades with ease. He was happy that his conversation with the wild Bramblin ended with ease as the ghostly apparition chose to join them in the end. Oblivious to the terrorizing brown rat, Batta would accidentally plop on top of Raticate, causing the large rodent to squeak loudly in anger. It lashed out, thrashing its tail all about and snapping its long fangs in an attempt to bite down on Batta’s legs. The large bug simply plopped off in embarrassment, and immediately hopped out of the way several times as the wild rodent lunged after him.
“Hey, hey, hey! Wait. Woah, woah. Woooaahh!” Batta waved its two arm-like limbs in the air, trying to find a way to calm the wild Pokemon down. “I’m sorry! Really! This isn’t how to settle your problems! Waooah. Wait! Ouch! Will you cut that out?! OUCH!” He snapped, at Raticate’s long and very whip-like tail snapped against his back and legs, almost knocking him over into the cold snow. “Gah! I’m sorry! I SAID I’M SORRY! I didn’t see you there!” Batta kicked his long, hopping legs in Raticate’s direction, trying to knock the wild rodent and its thrashing tail away from himself. “I really didn’t see you! I promise! I didn’t mean to jump on you! Hey, ouch!” Ugh…rats. Of course!

The rat put up a vicious fight! It was tanky and speedy and smacked Batta around with a thrash of its clawed paw before the little grasshopper could get those powerful kicks into the rat's underbelly. One. Two! The raticate was thrown off but lunged again violently. Teeth gnashed as it bit down on the smaller pokemon, only to get kicked hard in the jaw. That was enough to deter the feral rat, who scampered off into the grass, apparently looking for easier prey. Batta was left behind rather battered and aching...but filled with energy. Like that battle left him with the potential to be so much stronger!
