Spinarak hissed and crawled through the thick weed of tall green grasses. It would lie and wait here, hoping that through simple obscurity they wouldn’t be able to find it. “We’re not evil. You are all evil! If you weren’t, you would just turn around and leave our homelands alone!” It insisted, skittering erratically through the tall grasses so that they wouldn’t just ‘follow its voice’. Beth was a rude little raccoon, whose harsh words made Spinarak want to call for reinforcements just so they could all show them a sound beating. “You wait until my friends arrive!” It snapped. Trixie would be the quickest of them all. As soon as the beam of red light pulled the little bug inside of the sphere, Spinarak struggled to break free. Trixie wouldn’t be able to witness the tiny arachnid clawing at the sphere from the inside, trying desperately to find the button to release it once more. But she would see the evidence as the red-and-white capsule wiggled and wobbled sporadically through the grass. “You know if that doesn’t work….” Nurse Joy huffed impatiently, “it just shows me that I should really ask adults for help.”[/i] Rude? Maybe. But Nurse Joy really spoke this under her breath, so no matter how much Trixie heard it was clear she wasn’t really meant to hear. The ball eventually stopped with a resounding and successful ding! Congrats! But with the final wiggle, it rolled down the hillside towards the rocky terrain that led to the mysterious cave Trixie would obviously need to traverse through if they hoped to make it to the next town over. “Oh, wasn’t that really good? Now we can continue on our trek, hm?” She asked Trixie. It would be nice if they didn’t have to stop too much more along the way. The darkness was…not inviting to Nurse Joy. Coupled with all these creepy crawly creatures…it caused goosebumps to crawl along her skin. Battle Girl Vera turned to them and nodded. “I should be able to collect plenty for my boyfriend and our anniversary. I appreciate your assistance. It’s the patch just by the edge of the cave where your newly caught Spinarak rolled off too.” So they could travel together a bit longer, considering Trixie at least needed to recollect her newly captured friend. Something growled from the cave, angry and low! There might be a way to slip along the side and avoid whatever might await them. However, if Trixie wasn’t careful, she might find the night still had mysteries she didn’t quite bargain for… ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5ani/scyther.gif) Frederick gained 2 levels to [Lv 18]!

Trixie had never before experienced a Pokemon that wiggled and struggled quite as far as this Spinarak. The ball was bouncing farther and farther with each attempt to break free, until with a final lurch it dinged shut... just before lurching over the side of the hill and disappearing from sight. Even with the moon and stars to help, it would be quite the endeavor to retrieve the ball. And that wasn't even accounting for the massive, mysterious cave that loomed over the horizon, which their little group would need to venture over to if Trixie hoped to retrieve the ball for Professor Elm's Pokedex...
Wait, a cave?
"Isn't that the place we're headed toward? What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Trixie's enthusiasm was infectious, among her own Pokemon at least, and Lycaon was already rushing over, letting loose joyful barks from her jaws as Frederick and Beth scrambled to keep up. For their own sake, Trixie recalled the rest of her Pokemon before rushing off after them, but not before seeing Rivvi spread her wings in a magnificent flash of light and evolve into a Vivillon. There was no time to sit back and admire her, though; Trixie and her team had a job to do!
Nurse Joy was torn. On the one hand, she wanted to rush over to the Pokemon Center and end this horrible journey as soon as possible... but on the other hand, it would take her right past that suspicious cave, with something growling at them from the shadows. She fretted, unsure about what to do... staying in this horrid place covered in spiderwebs was hardly an option either! Especially since the little bug that escaped might be rallying its friends for a counterattack. "Let's... get this over with," she whined, steeling her spine and marching stiffly along behind Trixie and her Pokemon.
Off to the side, the teen trainer could see Vera picking her bouquet of flowers. "Be sure to leave some for everyone else!" she called out. Not that she had any particular interest in flowers, but the spiders probably did, and seeing the trampled landscape that had gone before them made her think this hadn't been the spiders' first encounter with trespassing humans. No wonder they were so angry.
By the time she got over the ridge, she could just faintly see where her Pokeball had rolled, thanks to its bright red-and-white coloring. Trixie cautiously approached, with her trio of Pokemon by her side, even Lycaon's wildness being reined in by the unsettlingly ominous atmosphere. "Hello?" she called out into the darkness - she didn't want anyone laying in wait to be startled and have an excuse to lash out.
[words=449] 400 to Incubator Trixie approaches the cave to retrieve the Spinarak's Pokeball, but does not go inside!
Party updates: Leaving Spinarak blank for now. Beth will forget Leer to learn Snarl, and I believe she also needs Pickup rolled. Kuroinu will not learn Smog. Please also update her name to Lycaon and her Nature as follows:
Rivvi will evolve into Vivillon, forget String Shot to learn Gust, and change her Ability to Shield Dust. Because the battle was fought under Clear weather, per Discord Q&A the form she evolves into should be River Pattern, not Monsoon Pattern. Please also remove the Exp. Share from Rivvi.

A strange rumbling rolled from the cave of the mouth. As though the land itself was alive, something breathed from within. The low, guttural growl echoed from deep within and if Trixie peered into the darkness that cloaked the cave’s entrance, she would notice some strange glowing things – like a pair of eyes – staring from the void within. She would need to be quick, though, to hide if she did this. Whatever owned those strange glowing red orbs would come charging near the edge of the cave, beating their clawed paws against their chests with a mighty roar. There her Poke Ball laid just before the entrance of the cave but well within sight of whatever lurked itself. The eyes floated through black silhouettes near the cave’s roof – a cave tall enough to comfortably fit giant men whose heights rivaled decorated holiday trees. There was a large rock outcropping where Trixie could hide behind if she wanted to avoid challenging the beast directly. It shot out of the ground nearly as tall as the cave itself. Chiseled like a triangle, one of the points curved back to the edge of the cave, creating a tiny break between the two rocky bodies where one could hide. There remained a long stick, whose dried bark and browned leaves of the few that still clung to it promised it had been shed from the nearby tree a long time ago. It’s integrity was dubious at best, but if she were careful and angled it right….could she use the stick to pull the Poke Ball towards her without alarming the strange creature that lurked nearby? A small pink Pokemon with huge rabbit-like ears hopped out of hiding and onto a rock on the other side of the cave’s opening and where Trixie could hide. It tilted its head and chirped softly. “Oh…a berry? It’s a strange looking berry…maybe I can eat it?” The pink puff commented softly to itself. Trixie has to choose! ![](https://i.ibb.co/M70KDqn/stick.png) ![](https://i.ibb.co/WxTm0LM/Who.png) Will she use the stick to try and get her Poke Ball Back? Will she confront the hidden beast of the cave and risk its wrath? Will the innocent-looking Whismur ruin it all by making some noise?! Fixing with evo for you to the River form! Also, normally we require you to use Name Rater for name updates. ^^ I've handled it here this time. Biggest reason is that Pokemon that have a separate OT will need that other OT's trainer approval any time the name changes.Pickup: mOv90Y4Wp_1-101-10

As Trixie approached the cave, she heard a strange growl and saw a pair of glowing red orbs within, floating too high for comfort. Quickly, she looked for a place to hide, finding it in the form of a triangular rocky outcropping. Ducking behind it, she took a few deep breaths to calm the beating of her heart. Fortunately, the whatever-it-was lurking within the cave didn't appear to have noticed her... yet. She quickly located the Pokeball laying on the ground just in front of the cave entrance. Now all she needed was a way to retrieve it without drawing the attention of whatever lurked inside.
The moon and stars shone overhead, illuminating the area with a faint light, and Trixie could see a dark shape nearby. She reached out for it with a tentative hand, and discovered it was a stick - old, bark peeling, but still sturdy enough for her purposes. If she managed to hook the gnarled end around her Pokeball, she could get it rolling away from the cave on its own, and soon it would be far enough for her to run over, snatch it up, and beat a hasty retreat from the cave monster.
As she was working to get the stick in the right position, a Whismur hopped up on a nearby outcropping. The pink rabbit Pokemon was chittering to itself, something Trixie couldn't understand, but its attention seemed to be fixed on the Pokeball. "Shhh!" Trixie admonished, putting a finger to her mouth, and gesturing with her hand to the darkness of the cave before repeating the hush gesture - wait, did Whismur even have eyes? Could it even tell what she was trying to indicate? It was too late to worry about that now. The stick was close. So close. She stretched as far as she could reach around her rocky hiding place, and managed to tap the Pokeball on the side, when--
"AAAAAAIIIIIEEEEE! It's TERRIFYING!"
Trixie gasped with alarm as she realized she'd left Nurse Joy behind. Lycaon had come bounding up to inspect the strange scene, and Nurse Joy had followed her, only to lock eyes with the unidentified red orbs. She looked like she was about to faint dead away, even with Trixie's Pokemon surrounding her. But that was not the most of Trixie's problems right now. If the cave beast hadn't noticed there were people outside its lair before, it certainly did now...
[words=404] 400 to Incubator OOC: Trixie uses the stick on the Pokeball, but Nurse Joy's screams alert the hidden beast!

Small eyes with strange lines that looked almost like a loading circle blinked in confusion as Trixie grabbed the stick and moved it. What was this strange contraption that wanted to steal it’s prize away? It picked the other end up with one of its stubby arms and shook it vigorously back, as though trying to shake the stick’s hand. “We can share the berry!” The small puff commented, wiggling its ears excitedly. “I don’t mind at all! My family abandoned me, so I’m hunting on my own, but I’m sure there’s more berries around here somewhere!” It laughed. Though, Nurse Joy’s screams caused the small Whismur to drop its ends of the stick entirely. What was that?! The beast that made everyone around the area starve?! It stumbled backwards and slipped off the edge of the rocky outcropping. Whismur flailed its small, stubby arms wildly in the air as it bounced on the ground, hurt and bruised from the experience. It screamed twice as loud as Nurse Joy, alerting the beast from within the cave, who stalked out swinging its grisly arms angrily. Long nails knives staked their claim as they chased the small puffball relentlessly. “Ohhhhh helllppp! I didn’t mean to wake you! Please, Mr. Bear, leave me be!” The small Pokemon rolled about on the ground, tears flowing from its eyes. Trixie had a small window opened where she could simply run away and leave things to their fate. Nature was a scary beast and clearly, this was just how wilderness was. Nurse Joy, trembling terribly from the screaming ordeal, tugged relentlessly on Trixie’s arm to try and get her to hurry up and leave before they were spotted. Or…she could assemble her entire crew in a fate that was almost nigh impossible to defeat this evil foe. Now mind you, normally such battles couldn’t be held with so many party members. And there was a Nurse Joy watching, so it wasn’t like no one would ever know. But given the circumstances…who would say she was in the wrong here? And as the large bear stalked towards its current prey, giving Trixie very little time to truly weigh her options, would she be heartless enough to turn a blind eye to a helpless Pokemon? That Nurse Joy had spooked into the mess in the first place? At least the stick would work and she could retrieve her Poke Ball in peace... Cave Dweller Ursaring has been disturbed! It's level 25 and very upset for some reason! What will Trixie do? Special Notice: Played as reverse hoard battle. Trixie can send out 5 at a time, Ursaring attacks once per round. Alternatively, Trixie can attempt to still slip by unscathed. (~45% min success. Might be increased by creative escape methods.) Uncatchable Boss Bear!

A massive roar emanated from the cave as the beast emerged, claws flashing in the moonlight. Nurse Joy let out a gasp, a few muttered invocations to Arceus, as she scrambled to hide behind Trixie. The small pink rabbit-like Pokemon trembled on the ground, helpless and sobbing, as the bear Pokemon raised a paw to swat it off into the stratosphere. Or, at least, it would have, were it not for the intervention of Trixie and her Pokemon. She threw her Pokeballs into the air once more, and in a flash of light, four figures were surrounding the Whismur, ready for battle against their most formidable foe yet.
"We can do this, but we have to work together!" Trixie called out to her Pokemon. "We aren't going to beat it with brute force alone. Start with a Smokescreen and Sand-Attack combination!" Beth and Panzy scrambled to flank the bear on either side, the Zigzagoon kicking up a cloud of dust from the ground, while the Stunky belched forward a cloud of black smog from her mouth. Next, Trixie called for Vega to use Leech Seed. Sensing urgency, the Cacnea wasted no time flexing, and instead shot forth a spike from one of his needle-like arms, which sprouted into a seed with grasping vines that attempted to drain the vitality from whichever unlucky victim it touched.
Lycaon was front and center, barking at Trixie's Pokemon as though she were the commander and not actually her Trainer. Sensing an opportunity, she would lunge forward and attempt to bite the Ursaring with her flaming fangs. That left the Whismur itself, which Trixie trotted up to, making sure the Whismur could see her before she attempted to hold and comfort it. "I don't really follow how you got here or why that bear is so mad at you, but are you okay?" she asked it. "Listen. I need to know if you're able to battle or not. I have a nurse with me, she can treat your wounds, but we won't be able to take care of everyone until the fight is over."
The Whismur was still in a state of shock, but upon hearing Trixie's words and feeling the soft pat on its head, it slowly began to come to its senses. It muttered some words about the "big mean bear" that Trixie was unable to understand, but she could tell its heart was in the fight. Wiping the tears away from its plus-shaped eyes with its big floppy ears, it got back to its feet, then tried to attack the Ursaring with everything it had.
[words=433] 400 to Incubator Engaging in Reverse Horde Battle! Beth used Sand-Attack. Panzy used Smokescreen. Vega used Leech Seed. Lycaon used Fire Fang. Whismur used its strongest attacking move, probably Echoed Voice. Frederick sitting in reserve to replace the first fainted Pokemon.

Ursaring remained unbothered by Trixie at first, though it’s ears twitched at the sounds of Nurse Joy’s gasp. They weren’t the source of its frustration. Though it was not exactly native to the area, the large beast managed to find a cave to call its own. It dug out a small spot for itself, where it curled up and settled in, only to have these noisy beasts of Union Cave causing a loud racket that echoed off the cave’s inner walls all hours of the night and into the day. “This is the last time you interrupt my sleep!” The large brown ursine screamed, hands swinging down in a flash. Whismur managed to dart out of the way as a wave of new Pokemon joined its side. Ursaring jumped back, turning its head to and fro, and growled menacingly as soon as it spotted Trixie. A trainer?! With all these useless, baby Pokemon to battle it?! “Out of my way, you weaklings!” Ursaring yowled, stomping one foot on the ground. It would create the weakest soundwave from the effort, not an attack surely but a means to hopefully scare off the collection of Pokemon Pals. “You would be just as angry as I would, if you got no sleep at night! Can’t you understand where I’m coming from? Hmm?” It turned to Panzy, reaching out a clawed paw gently and gently tapped the wild Pokemon on her shoulder. “Think about it, for a second, will you?”Panzy belched a face full of smoke that enveloped the large brown grisly in the blink of an eye. As soon as Ursaring raised one of its mighty paws, though, Beth attacked from the other side. Large piles of sandy debris slapped it against the sides of its face and coated its arms, causing Ursaring to try its best to shake what bits of sand it could out of its coat. “You stop that this instance! You’re really making me mad, here. This is my last warning to you all!” Ursaring boomed in a loud voice, spinning around and bending over to scratch Beth across her face only to be met with a face full of flame-tipped fangs. “Agh! I mean it!” It snapped, knocking Lycaon back off. This trainer was slowly digging underneath Ursaring’s fur with her unruly beasts. As it stomped forward, paws full of sharp darggers swinging wildly through the air, it stumped into Vega’s trap. The small seeds that sprouted forth their long vines took hold of the giant beast and immediately swarmed Ursaring, digging in through the densely packed fur to bury themselves into its flesh. Whismur screamed loudly, shaking like a leaf. Its voice echoed off the surrounding trees and the inner walls of the cave nearby. “THERE YOU GO AGAIN, YOU LOUD BUG! I WILL SQUISH YOU!” Ursaring roared threateningly, trying its best to fight through the sprouted seeds and cloudy dust that surrounded it. Weather: Clear | Ursaring | Lv 25 HP: 79% [69/87]

Ursaring bellowed as the sand, smoke, and various attacks washed over it, but fortunately for Trixie, it appeared to be more bark than bite... for now. She needed to keep up the pressure, drive it back into its cave and away from the Whismur, if they were to have any hope of escape. "Good work, everyone! Let's keep at it!" She would have Beth repeat her attack, and another cloud of sand was flung toward the Ursaring's eyes. Hopefully all the dust would make it more difficult to see, as she was sure its powerful claws could seriously wound any of her team with a single hit! The Ursaring's attention seemed to be turned toward Vega, and the cactus Pokemon was getting ready to attack. "Hold up! Panzy, hit it with an Acid Spray first, then Vega, follow up with your Magical Leaf!" The skunk Pokemon was feeling a little ashamed after the scolding she had gotten from the Ursaring who just wanted to sleep in peace - but it didn't seem like words were going to get them out of the situation. She sprayed a weak glob of pink fluid at the target, hoping to deter it just enough without harming it. Vega had no such compunctions, and followed up with a flurry of shining leaves that cleaved through the smokescreen and honed in on their target. Lycaon flipped through the air and crashed into the dirt when the Ursaring shrugged her off, a little dazed but unhurt. With a bark and a snarl, she got herself right back up and, not even waiting for an order from Trixie, had flames licking at the corners of her fangs. She charged in and attempted to bite the giant bear Pokemon again. It seemed the bear could not seem to catch a break, with five Pokemon mobbing it from all sides. Indeed, when it turned away from the Whismur, the pink bunny rabbit sucked in a deep breath and shouted again, "Leave us alone!" the last word reverberating in the cave behind the Ursaring. And Trixie looked down at the Pokeball in her hand. It was the Spinarak she had caught after scaring off its friends and picking flowers from its home. Was it still angry with her, or would it realize that she meant it no harm? She hoped she wouldn't have to find out, and that the battle would soon be over.

Understanding wouldn’t be the peaceful agreement that the massive beast would be met with. Ursaring swung in its anger. Its lips curled back so far it looked as though Ursaring’s face might split in two. Thick globs of saliva dribbled from the corners of its mouth and splashed against the sandy ground underfoot, as Ursaring spun its large eyes around in its sockets and landed firmly on Trixie’s collection of Pokémon. “I take it you’re going to defend that little loudmouth?!” Ursaring hissed angrily. It hunched down, large shoulder blades pushed against the flesh that kept them bound, and growled menacingly at Panzi and Beth, then spun wildly on the tips of its long, clawed feet and hissed at Lycaon and Vega. They were everywhere? “You’ll just have to be removed like all of its friends!” If Ursaring couldn’t bring rhyme or reason to the logic, then it would have to take them out and make its point clear. “This is where I plan to sleep! Anyone that wants to ruin that for me, must be removed!” With a swipe of one mighty paw, Ursaring sent Lycaon flying through the air and against a nearby rock, knocking the fight out of the dog. Beth was quick at sending more dirt and debris to encircle the massive opponent. Ursaring stumbled through Panzy’s acid in a daze. The strange, noxious fumes caused Ursaring to wrinkle its nose, and aided Vega’s leaves that spiraled around the area with a strange, mystical presence and sliced through Ursaring’s side. Whismur screamed, its voice echoing even louder than before, causing Ursaring to stumble backwards while gripping its ears firmly. “See, that?! How can you stand that?!” Ursaring complained loudly.

Perhaps it was true that the Ursaring only wanted a place to sleep... but the way it was raging out of control was a wildly disproportionate response, especially since the Whismur hadn't done anything to bother it except wander a little too close to its cave! All of Trixie's Pokemon were in it together now. The angry bear Pokemon had declared all of them as enemies, and they would stand or fall together! Rallied mainly by Lycaon, the team took up a defensive stance, with the Whismur in the middle. The little pink rabbit was still shaking like a leaf even as it recognized that its efforts were helping in driving the Ursaring back.
Unfortunately, Lycaon was a little too eager in charging forward, and when she came too close to the Ursaring's massive paws, it lashed out with a furious swipe that sent the fiery dog careening into a rock and knocked her out cold. Trixie gasped, running over to her Pokemon's side. They had only been training for a short while, and already she was putting her at risk - what kind of a trainer was she? Was Mishu's trust in her misplaced, was she not cut out for raising a Houndour after all? "Hang in there!" she called out as she rushed her unconscious friend over to Nurse Joy. "Can you help her?" she asked the pinkette, who managed to avoid panicking long enough to inform Trixie that there was a revive in her medical bag.
Once she was sure that Lycaon was in good hands, Trixie glared at the Ursaring and let another Pokeball fly. "Why don't you pick on someone your own size?" Frederick burst out of the Ball in a brilliant flash of white light, and it didn't take long for him to assess the situation. Without prompting, he zipped over to the Ursaring faster than the eye could see and attempted to slash it along its side. The rest of the team sprang into action - even Whismur - except for Panzy, who was still nervous after the Ursaring's shouting. She hadn't wanted to battle; was she sure they were doing the right thing? Maybe it would be better if they just retreated and left it alone. Shaking her head, she slowly backed closer to Nurse Joy and the fallen Lycaon, her feet trembling.
The rest of the party, however, was under no such impression, and they would attempt to repeat the same moves as before, figuring that what worked once would probably work again. Beth by now had kicked enough sand onto the Ursaring to make a sandcastle, Vega let loose with another barrage of magical leaves, and Whismur screamed its little heart out. With the draining seed steadily weakening the Ursaring, Trixie crossed her fingers and hoped that the battle would be over soon. Surely the bear Pokemon would eventually have enough and decide to take a nap of the dirt variety. Wouldn't it?
[words=490] to Incubator Frederick sent out in place of Lycaon. SP++ Frederick used Quick Attack. SP++ (Panzy's turn) Trixie used a Revive on Lycaon. SP21 Beth used Sand-Attack. SP18 Vega used Magical Leaf. SP15 Whismur used Echoed Voice (3rd turn).

Frederick appeared and zipped through the air in the blink of an eye. His blades struck true, causing Ursaring to stumble backwards on its quick feet. Pain screamed inside of Ursaring’s body. The wild bear only wanted to return to its sleep, yet these rascally vandals insisted on protecting the useless screamer that kept it up all hours of the night. Who were they, anyways?! It spun around on its nimble feet, long claws like swords slashing through the air in its wake. They managed to catch Frederick in their haste and easily knocked the other Pokemon out on the sidelines of the battle. “Why don’t you learn to leave something that doesn’t concern you alone?!” Ursaring roared back angrily at Frederick. It stomped, quick to descend on the fainted Pokemon, though Frederick’s friends would easily jump in the way. They worked together and chased the impossibly large bear backwards. Beth kicked up more sand and dirt, managing to score several chunks in Ursaring’s eyes. It stung as the small particles dug inside of its vision, managing to bury itself between Ursaring’s eyelids and the eyeball itself. “CAN YOU ALL LEAVE ME ALONE?!”Vega whipped up a magical storm of leaves as Whismur screamed. The two moves combined and sent a raging tornado of sharp foliage in Ursaring’s direction. It flipped out, slashing its long claws in the air wildly to try and knock the painful serrated leaves out of the way. It was too much, however, and caused Ursaring to turn tail, completely abandoning the cave. “Fine, you win! I don’t even know how I got here. The cave’s too small as it is and I need a safe place to sleep before winter gets here!” Ursaring bellowed, disappearing further down the route. It left a strange looking bottle in its wake. Clearly, Trixie could take this small trinket as a prize for all of her hard work? Weather: Clear | Ursaring | Lv 25 HP: 0% [0/87]

Frederick's attack was fast - too fast. Although he was able to strike the Ursaring with his sharp blades, the zippy attack left no room for him to maneuver backward as the bear rounded upon him in a rage, knocking him down with its massive claws. The mantis tried to defend, but his thin arms were no match for the Ursaring's stout arms, and its overwhelming power sent him crashing into the dirt. As the bear moved to finish him off, Trixie's Pokemon were quick to the defense, and Trixie could see Lycaon unsteadily getting to her feet as the rest of the team spat, screamed, and shot leaves at the frightful beast.
And just like that, the battle was over.
The bear had retreated into the night, most likely to find a place far away from humans and annoying Whismur alike where it could sleep in peace. Trixie breathed a sigh of relief as she ran over to check on her teammates. Aside from Frederick, everyone seemed to be unharmed, and Trixie lifted up the bug Pokemon underneath the armpits and slowly, painstakingly dragged him over toward Nurse Joy. Lycaon was yelping agitatedly, seemingly trying to bark the fainted Pokemon back to consciousness, and when Nurse Joy revived him a few moments later he woke up to a hyperactive dog yelping and pounding on his chest with her small paws. She ran up to the Scyther's head and gave him a lick on the cheek as he pushed himself upright with his claw-blades.
In the meantime, Beth had gone exploring in the cave with Panzy, and between them they rolled a small bottle over toward Trixie. She picked it up; it was a spray bottle that looked almost like a Potion, but its shape and smell were subtly different. "You found this? Thanks, everyone!" she said, tucking it away into her pack. "All of you did a great job. You should take a good rest." With her party returned to their Pokeballs, that left only the matter of the Whismur. With the balls stowed away on her belt, only a single Pokeball was left in her hand. This one was empty.
"Would you like to come along with me?" she asked the Whismur. "I'm sure everyone would love to be your friend... we could go on adventures together, and you wouldn't have to be alone, running away from scary bear Pokemon in the wild anymore. You'd get plenty to eat, and a nice warm place to sleep whenever you want, and I could train you to get stronger, and maybe even evolve! What do you say?" She flashed an easy smile at the pink rabbitlike Pokemon; perhaps it had had quite enough excitement for one night, perhaps it had a family to go home to, but she wasn't about to pass up this opportunity to add a new (and by all accounts, quite brave!) Pokemon to her team. She held out the Pokeball in her hand. All the Whismur had to do was hop inside it.
[words=506] to Incubator Trixie tries to befriend the Whismur and catch it in a Pokeball! Beth will forget Tackle to learn Headbutt. Panzy will forget Feint to learn Fury Swipes.

The small pink hare’s strange looking eyes, like plus signs painted on where orbs normally would spiral in their sockets, stared up at Trixie quietly. It pressed one of its stubby hands against the side of his face and hummed softly, scrunching up its nose. Many scary tails spiraled amongst Whismur kind of trainers whose ambitions were too great for the Pokemon that toddled along after them, leaving the same Pokemon bruised and beaten in the wake of their destruction. Trixie was…different. A soft wind shifted through the open route and howled through the mouth of the cave. Several small eyes glowed in the dark, no doubt family and friends that this little hare would need to leave behind. Its eyes turned skittishly towards the skies above and watched a lone cirrus cloud drift lazily over the face of the sun, then shifted its eyes back down to study Trixie once more. Could it forsake everything it’s ever known and loved? It was a difficult choice; one that the rabbit never expected nor wanted to answer in its own lifetime. Still, the memories of Trixie’s Pokemon battling alongside Whismur reflected fresh in its mind, mirroring past memories of the scary bear ripping through some of its closest wild companions. The pain they must have felt… a single tear streaked down Whismur’s cheek as it reflected on those moments, the same emotions of fear and anxiety it felt on those days feeling just as strong in that moment. It needed to evolve, if it ever hoped to save its friends and family from such horrific fates in the future. Determinedly, Whismur bounced away from Trixie. What might have seemed like an abject refusal would eventually show its true colors. Should Trixie follow Whismur even by just simply trailing her gaze in the same direction, she’d witness the little lepus hop over to the many eyes enshrouded in the dim lighting of the cave itself, quickly hugging each of its friends goodbye for seemingly forever. It would return, now profusely crying uncontrollably, to press the button in the center of Trixie’s ball as it accepted her offer. Whismur joined Trixie's team! ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5ani/whismur.gif) [img src="https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/whismur.png"] [b]Whismur[/b] Name: [choose] Gender: [choose] Level: 12 OT: Trixie Hayworth Moves: Astonish, Pound, Echoed Voice, Howl Ability: Soundproof Nature/Personality: [choose]

The Whismur seemed hesitant. When it looked back into the cave, tiny eyes peering out from the darkness, and hopped over with tears in its eyes, Trixie was sure that it was about to refuse. But instead, what she saw seemed to be a tearful parting, as the Whismur hugged each of its friends and family in turn, tears and sobs abundant as the little rabbit Pokemon clung to each other for what would surely be the last time in a very long time. The implication was clear as it returned to Trixie, eyes still tear-stained, but full of determination as it pressed the button on her Pokeball and hopped in. It would join her, but sooner or later, it would be back. No, it had to be back, to pass on the training and knowledge it had gained on this journey to its beloved companions. Trixie nodded solemnly as she tucked the Pokeball away onto her belt. She briefly spared a thought for what her own family was doing now. Her parents, and Maybelle, they probably didn't miss her much. But Avalina...? Perhaps she should write. Even Nurse Joy had a tear in her eye as Trixie walked back to her, recalling her Pokemon and pointing the way down the road. True to Vera's word, they reached the Pokemon Center in no time at all. As soon as they walked through the sliding doors into the brightly-lit and crisply air-conditioned lobby, a junior nurse paged the head Chansey, who rushed out to meet them, eager to help the new nurse get settled in. Joy was ushered off was ushered off while she bemoaned the trials and tribulations they had faced on the road ("And there were spiders, I tell you! Huge, gross, sticky SPIDERWEBS!" Trixie could hear her lamenting as she walked away), and the young trainer was checked in at the front desk, her Pokemon assessed for care while she was offered a complimentary glass of water and a bed for the night. Trixie couldn't sleep, however. She sat in the chair at her room, hunched over a single piece of paper, and stared. Dear Avalina,The rest was blank. She frowned, scribbled down a few lines, and crumpled the paper into a ball, tossing it into the trash where it joined a pile of others. How could she even begin to describe the journey she'd been on so far, to someone who had never experienced it for themselves? The places she'd been to, the people she'd met, all the weird and wonderful Pokemon she'd befriended - and, in a few cases, had unwittingly made enemies of? Eventually, eyes heavy, she gave up and collapsed into the bed. The next morning the Pokemon Center was a flurry of activity. When she went to pick up her Pokemon, Nurse Joy was there, with a small ring of trainers surrounding her. Recognizing Battle Girl Vera among them, Trixie wandered over to the group, curious about what was going on. "I'd suggest you find somewhere else to train right now," the Nurse was saying. "The miners digging further into the cave are reporting problems with some kind of fringe environmentalist group saying that what they're doing is harming the Pokemon. They're putting a halt on all Trainer travel through the cave until the situation clears up." "We can't go fishing, either," a man with a pole slung over his shoulder was protesting. "A bunch of bratty kids took over the Jetty! They're demanding that anyone who wants to cast a line has to beat them all in battle first!" "Where are the IPF? Why isn't Officer Jenny doing anything?" a shrill voice called out. Trixie sighed. Perhaps there were other areas she could explore in more depth back east... [words=627] Thread is ON HOLD!
