I wonder how far I'll go [Hard Mode] [Costar] [Done]

[Pixel]

"Are there any open appointments?!" Freya asked as she practically raced into the Goldenrod City gym. She had arrived from Ilex, stopped by a pokemon center for a nap and a snack, and instantly shifted gears to come to the gym. The receptionist looked a little leery about Freya's over-exuberance, but eventually got her signed in. There was a cancelled appointment in ten minutes, so Freya could wait until then.

Perfect.

As she waited in the lobby, she went over her plan for the gym and prepared her pokemon. Teddiursa was given a shiny amulet coin to hold because she was the star of the show. And then...she needed one more pokemon to support her terrifying little teddi. Hmmm. "Quaxly!" She released the little duck and checked him over. He seemed to have recovered from his fight with the ghost. "I have a little treat for you." She got them from her time doing raids and she had two left. She rolled the little exp candies in her palm and offered them to the little duck. He evolved into a fighting type. A mixed blessing in a gym like this, but surely they didn't have any fairy moves.

Freya settled in her seat as Quaxly happily ate the candies, form glowing suddenly as he gained enough experience to evolve! Freya clapped cheerfully, glad she had estimated that he was close to evolving. Soon a tall dancer of a duck stood before her, admiring his own plumage. 

"You do look all handsome," she teased. "Now, I think our appointment is up, so back in your ball." 

Upon hearing her name called, she strode out to the gym floor, admiring the lovely decor, "This place looks so pretty! I love all the flowers." She saw a girl approach (though she didn't look like Whitney. A gym trainer maybe? No matter, Freya was used to gym challenges. "Now, lemme guess, I have to battle you first before i get the honor of facing Whitney? I'm game!"

She tossed out her first pokeball to reveal Teddiursa.

"I've come with my own positively adorable pokemon to take this gym on!" She struck a confident pose, chin up, a smile on her lips. She knew this gym had a thing for cute pokemon based on her research. "But don't let her good looks fool you, she packs a nasty Slash!"

Having trainers call in and cancel their appointments was nothing new to the staff members within the Gym. Many of them took the news in stride, often calling up the next match up and asking if they’d like to be moved up for an earlier appointment until one of them eventually accepted. However, most of the ones booked outright refused, some scoffing about how they needed the time to prep or how when they begged for an earlier appointment, the Gym outright refused and now they were returning the favor. Some just wouldn’t pick up their phone even if the world was on fire. Whatever.

So having Freya stroll through the open doors of the Gym and confidently challenge them, eager to take the very next appointment available to cover the momentary lapse in their listing was a blessing. At least, it was a blessing for the receptionist and the referee, who went straight to work prepping the field for the eventual fight before calling her forward. “Absolutely not!” The young girl with short brown hair cut into a bob-style nearly screamed, spinning around in her seat to face the staff member who rushed to inform Lass Carrie of the change up.

“I prepared for Ace Trainer Gertrude not whoever this….Freya, you said?! Is! At least she’s got a really cool name.” She hmphed as Whitney placed a hand on Carrie’s shoulder and squeezed. Where was the fun in having things changed last minute?! She wasn’t prepared for some random trainer who had just barely managed to have her team registered in their system, leaving Carrie with little to no time to prepare. “Ace Trainer Gertrude is violently sick with some stomach virus and can’t make it. Should we cancel everything, then?” The staff member sighed, flinching away from Carrie’s wrath.

Whitney shook her head firmly, stepping from behind Carrie’s seat to stand in front of her fellow trainer. “No, we’ve already promised a match.” She turned to Carrie, who reluctantly nodded and slowly lifted herself up off her feet. She checked her reflection in the mirror, easily touching up her make up and combing her hair one final time to ensure she looked her absolute best. Pfft. Whatever, fine! “How can I show how fierce we are, if I’m unprepared?!” Whitney winked, pushing her out the door and gesturing towards the doors to the gymnasium where Freya would be waiting. “I hired you because I believe in you. Remember?”

Carrie eventually walked through the double doors and greeted Freya with a wide smile. “I’m so sorry to keep you waiting! We actually…weren’t prepared for you. Let’s see…I guess Wiggles can come on-?! Mochi, what are you doing?!” A strange looking pink dog with blue polka dots on her fur and a frilly fluff of fur that made her look almost as though she was wearing a skirt raced past Carrie and jumped in front with a loud bark. It glared at the small bear with a firm, intimidating stare. “Snub bub bub bull!” It insisted, stomping one of its feet firmly on the floor, refusing to be benched. Carrie sighed with a shake of her head. Just great! Now her Pokemon were just doing their own thing. GREAT!

“Fine Mochi, then use Headbutt! But please, listen to mommy and wait until I tell you it’s your turn next time, ok?” Another bark, then the dog raced after its foe with its head lowered, prepared to try and ram Teddiursa with all of its might. Carrie nodded her head firmly with a wide smile. “Yes, I’m just a Gym Trainer right now, trying to learn everything I can from Whitney, truth be told. I’m hoping to open my own adorable gym one day. Maybe in a region that seems to be lacking…such cute charms, ya know?” She giggled, returning back to Freya’s words. “Whitney decorated the gym herself, I’ll be sure to pass your compliments along! I really love your bear! I’ve wanted one of my own for a while now.” She complimented Freya.

Lass Carrie sends out her Level 20 Mochi!

Mochi the Snubbull uses Headbutt!

[Pixel]

"Sorry about that," Freya apologized without a lick of a shame and a smile on her face. Topaz eyes glittered in the bright lights, the yellow hues dancing with excitement. With her stance, those eyes and the shock of blue hair, one might even be able to see the familial relation between her and a certain dragon-type gym leader in her Johto. But the resemblance was a blink and miss it sort of thing. Whitney was far more likely to catch it, assuming she had met and worked with Clair in the past. "But that's sort of the thrilling part of battling, is it not? The unexpected twists along the way~"

She giggled and watched as her teddiursa lunged for Mochi, as aggressive as always despite that adorable little face. Teddi did flinch a bit at that...scary look...which slowed her strike, but she kept pressing on despite the shiver that leapt down her spine. Sharp claws slashed down Mochi's forehead moments before the bulldog-like pokemon slammed into Teddi's belly. 

The little bear growled and rolled away, ready and prepared to lung again. 

"She is so strong! I highly recommend getting one if you can. I saw in a magazine that you can win one at this gacha game here in the city? Or, I do know a breeder." Might as well pitch her landlord's business while here. Teddi was a great pokemon that he entrusted into her care. "I literally just got through Ilex today, and I'm hoping to get back to traveling soon, since I'm not all that keen on the big city, and I hear there's lots of cool, historic things to see in the next town over. And a ghost gym! Teddi does love to Crunch her way through ghosts~"

Carrie was quite interested in the game Freya told her about as any way to get a Teddiursa was great by her books or a breeder so long as she ended up getting one. The next town over sounded intriguing as well as a historic town must have one or two cute Pokemon around not to mention Ghost types being quite a test of a normal type trainer's skills. On top of all of that seeing another city she had never been too was certainly an appealing aspect to Carrie. For the time being however her mind was trying to stay focused on the battle at hand as long as she could as she tried to switch up her strategy a bit as Freya's Teddiursa did not seem to have an ability to boost it's strength if burned.

" Mochi I do not think our Headbutt strategy will work against this Teddiursa, it is pretty strong but maybe one of your elemental fang attacks will do better. Let's try your Fire Fang and see if it works better." As she waited for the Snubbull to try and strike she got back into her conversation with Freya. " Do you happen to know of any other places with cute Pokemon I can add to my team? The more I can add while I am learning the more I will be able to grow as a trainer and spread my love of cute Pokemon."




OOC: Mochi uses Fire Fang.

[Pixel]

"Where to find more cute pokemon? I suppose it depends on your definition of cute! Back in my home village of Kitakami, there are many cute pokemon like poochyena running around. And if you go into the mountains, you can find clefairy. But that may be a little far...Unfortunately I'm not from here, so most of my experience with cute pokemon has been with the ones I've trained or my breeder friend has raised. Oh! Like marill! An azumarill would totally fit the vibe of this place...maybe. I mean it's cute, right?"

She saw the snubbul preparing that fire fang, "Teddi, you've got this, keep doing what you're doing!" As Freya called that out, she heard the rumble of thunder and the pitter of rain starting to hit the roof of the gym. She looked up. "Wow. I made it in here just in time. Would have hated to get caught in THAT while crawling out of Ilex. The sand was bad enough..." 

Freya flipped her ponytail and adjusted her bag.

"Anyway, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so I find it hard to say whether Clefable or Frigibax is cuter! My 'baxy is just the grumpiest little sandwich devourer on this side of ocean from Paldea, buuuuut lots of people would probably think she is a little stumpy looking. Certainly not as sleek or elegant as say, a dragonair."

Teddi lunged forward and slammed a paw right onto the top of Mochi's head, knocking the bullheaded pokemon out cold. The little bear let out a cheerful cry and Freya clapped, "Oh, you're doing so good! But now's Quaxwell's turn! He needs a good fight to get used to his new evolution."

The teddiursa pouted a bit but retreated as commanded, taking a ready stance at Freya's side. She smiled and tossed a ball to reveal, well, a decidedly more awkward duck of a pokemon. Not cute or cool or sleek. "Don't let his looks fool you. He's a very stylish fellow at heart and loves to dance!" Freya laughed and spun around once, hoping to keep Carrie on her toes. A little whimsy didn't hurt anyone—especially when it showed off your super on point outfit. Like, she looked good! Impressions mattered. And she certainly didn't show up to the gym looking grubby! Even fresh out of the wood she had been mindful to get a shower and a change of clothes to ensure she matched the big city vibe.

"Now, show off what you can do! Water Pledge!"

[Caramell 🍬]

The prospect of garnering cuter Pokemon caused Lass Carrie’s eyes to brim with excitement. It would help her train her own Pokemon as she journeyed to find them, and help her bolster her team with stronger Pokemon who might be able to help her cover a wider array of type disadvantages. Thankfully, the Normal Types that frequent a partial amount of Goldenrod gym’s theme had very few disadvantages they needed to be aware of. “I’ve never really heard of Kitakami before. Is that close to Galar? Or was it Paldea?” Carrie tapped the bottom of her chin thoughtfully.

When Snubbul collapsed on the ground, she switched with a quick recall of her previous Pokemon. The next Pokemon appeared in a bright burst of red light and took the shape of a round, pink balloon with arms, feet, and wide, blue eyes. The small puffball blinked profusely, tilting her head sideways for a second as she gathered her senses. “Poppy, let’s show them what we can do, shall we?” Jigglypuff nodded vigorously, pulling a small microphone out of its fur with a wide smile. What a time to truly shine and show the world why it would be Johto’s Next Top Singer! Carrie, however, frowned and hummed thoughtfully. Well….a quick sleep would help them in the long run!

“You always want to sing, don’t you girl? Remember what Whitney said last time you got carried away, though?” Jigglypuff puffed up its cheeks angrily, screwing off the top of her microphone to reveal that it was just a regular old marker all along. Who gave Jigglypuff a sharpie, anyways? She spun on her feet, folding her arms on the sides of her body, and pouted. “Jiggly gig giiiiggg gglllyyyy giiig! Puff puff jigglypuff puff jiggly jiiiig! Jiggly puff jigg jigg!” Freya, with her understanding of Poke-language, would surely understand just how Jigglypuff was cursing her trainer out for stifling her creativity. xD

But uh…sorry, no translations for the dying public hanging on the edges of their seats, who wanted to know… “Fine, but follow it up with Covet! I thought I saw something shiny in that duck’s fur, ok?” Now, back to some of those suggestions Freya made. “I’ve never found Poochyena cute…especially not after they evolve! But Clefairy are totes adorbs! Whitney has her own, in fact, and she’s just the sweetest thing most days! Haha.” Azumarill would be perfect though. That cute, round body. Those long, rabbit-like ears. Just the cutest thing you could imagine! “But Azumarill would be a really good option, thanks!” She smiled.

Jigglypuff poured her heart and soul into her song, creating a lyrical melody that most couldn’t help but tune into. She personally hated when her friends fell asleep before the grand performance, though, which was partly why her marker was also a makeshift microphone. Those large, blue eyes watched the large blue duck tentatively, striving to ensure that Quaxwell wouldn’t just doze off too soon. “The weather’s definitely been really crazy lately! It’s got me not even wanting to go out to do my usual weekly grocery shopping. Good thing Diglett Dash delivers. They’ve been a lifesaver in moments like these!” Lass Carrie giggled.

After her final performance, Jigglypuff would pop off next to her acquaintance with grubby little hands that aimed to search the body religiously for anything she could covet and claim as her own. Clearly such a magnificent looking Pokemon as Quaxwell – not unlike herself, of course – only carried the finest gems! Right? “Well…if I’m being honest…I don’t exactly find Frigibax endearing.” She stated softly, hoping not to offende Freya. She was a very polite person to speak too, after all. “But I do suppose that’s why beauty is subjective, huh? Dragonair I’ve always found to be more beautiful than they are ‘cute’.” Not to mention rare!

Poppy the Jigglypuff uses Sing then Covet!

[Pixel]

"Kitakami isn't actually too far from Johto, though it's such a small area that it's pretty secluded from the rest of the world...I am unsurprised you never heard of it. When I moved to Paldea for my education and became a trainer, very few people had heard of it, except for those who had gone there once for an educational field trip. It's...ah, not very welcoming to outsiders. People can be very traditional and suspicious, but honestly, they are also very kind. Very generous... Full of stories and legends. I am mostly worried that in a generation or two...all of those stories will be lost as the younger folks have more and more opportunities to move away." Her expression softened. A little sad. "My family is originally from Johto, so you could say my travels here are to discover my roots. Learn more about my parents' homeland."

To prove to the Dragon's Den that she was worthy. To restore her family's name and honor. She might not be a tamer in the truest sense, but she had dragon clan blood in her veins and she was raising Baxy to be the best that she could be! Nobody could deny that.

She shook off her wandering thought as a Jigglypuff joined the fray, starting them off with a song. And a scolding. "Stop it from singing!" Freya called out and watched as the duck began to dance, summoning forth geysers of water that jetted up from the ground and showered them all in a gentle mist. However, when one formed under Poppy...it stopped her lullaby full stop and sent the little balloon pokemon soaring. "Good going." She was already feeling drowsy. That would have been way worse if they'd let it keep that song up. "Now, hit it again!"

As the Jigglypuff landed and started to regain its bearings, another spout of water flung it up in the air! Enjoy flying! Alas, that wasn't enough to stop what it did next. With the song now ruined and soaking wet, the jigglypuff rushed forth and rummaged through Quaxwell's feathers. He flustered, trying to shoo the other away, but she grabbed his eviolite away!  Little thief!

"That's what happens when you let yourself get charmed by a cute girl pokemon. Well. Go on. If you want to get that back, you'll need to win this battle. Water pledge again." Freya urged with an eye roll.

"So, should I go to Kitakami or not?" The young trainer asked curiously, as she wasn't sure if the region this challenger talked about would be a great tourist site or not.

"Poppy, watch out for that!" Carrie shouted as she watched the Water Pledge slammed into the Jigglypuff, soaking it from head to toe. Then, the fairy type managed to snag the Eviolite hiding in the Quaxell's feathers. "Ooh! Nice find! Good job!" Carrie applauded her Pokemon's discovery.

The pink balloon Pokemon chirped happily, and waved the Eviolite on one hand like a victory prize, but of course, the battle wasn't over yet! "Poppy, you're doing great so far! Have a nice Rest!" She cheered for her Pokemon, as the Jigglypuff stretched her tiny little arms and then made a comfortable spot to nod off on the gym floor. Carrie don't usually get to use this move, but she figured this would be a nice chance to utilize it.

Jigglypuff used Rest!

[Pixel]

"I think you should, but be mindful that the locals can be a bit wary of strangers at first given how small of a community it is!" Freya clarified. She watched as her quaxwell kept up his saucy two step and her breath hitched when she heard the command for rest. Fortunately for her, the duck was much swifter on his feet than the balloon pokemon. 

As it settled down to curl up for a nap, he rushed forward and summoned another column of water underneath it, sending that jigglupuff flying! 

Down and out!

Distantly, she could hear a ref call that the jigglypuff was unable to battle. Quaxwell huffed and strutted closer to the fainted jigglypuff, knocking the eviolite out of its paws and to the side of the battlefield, no longer in play for the rest of the battle. They were quite lucky that even with its bolstering effects, the jigglypuff didn't endure that hit, or they'd be in quite the pickle!

"You're looking tough out there!" she called out to her pokemon, who preened, flexing at his show of moxie. "But I need you to dial it back for me. Teddiursa can handle whatever's next, okay?"

He puffed and stood strong, but Freya swapped him out despite his preening in favor of her little bear. "Alright, Teddi, finish this up with a close combat!"

With her Jigglypuff knocked out Lass Carrie was down to her last Pokemon but not all hope had been lost just yet. She tossed the Pokeball containing a cute looking Meowth that quickly ran over to her legs and rubbed it's head against them while purring. " Oh Scratchy, you are always so sweet but right now I could use your help in this battle. Our new friend Freya is really tough so we will have to give it our all." Before continuing on with the battle the young lass still wanted to speak a bit more hoping for more useful tips from Freya.

" I heard in other regions Meowth look different than Scratchy here, by any chance have you ever seen one from another region? I wonder if they are as cute as Scratchy?" As the young lass started to stare off into space seemingly caught up in their daydreams of cute Pokemon she finally noticed the Teddiursa swapped in and knew it was time for her feline to show off it's ability combined with it's sharp fangs. Despite usually being nice Scratchy could turn quite violent in the blink of an eye. As Lass Carrie started to speak again Scratchy bared her fangs at the swapped in Teddiursa Teddiursa.

" Meowth might be cute but they also have a very interesting ability known as Technician, usually it is a bit too aggressive for my taste but even when Scratchy bites she looks so cute doing it. Show Teddiursa what I mean and use you Bite twice." Scratchy then waited until Teddiursa was within range then she lashed out trying to bite her foe twice trying to stop the bear cub from landing a hit.

Carrie sends out Scratchy the Meowth (Level 18) who uses Bite x2 while activating her Technician ability.

[Pixel]

"Oh! Yes, I have seen meowth that have looked different than that before. One is native to Galar and its steel type, though most people don't think it's nearly as cute as the Kantonian variant. It even evolves into something different too! And then there is the dark-type from Alola, who is perhaps the absolute cutest! If only its evolution wasn't so...erm... well. Selectively bred that way..." Apparently in Alola, they thought a perfectly round, flat face was the height of persian beauty. Many outsiders found it odd looking to say the least. Which was a pity given how sleek and handsome meow was with its deepened, sleeker coat.

"And I already prepared myself for Meowth's special talent, so don't worry!" As long as Teddi didn't flinch, she was in the clear. She watched as the little bear was accosted by the feline, who chomped down twice in quick succession. She grit her teeth, looking tempted to bite back, but instead, grabbed the feline with both paws and slammed poor Scratching into the floor, knocking her out in one hit.

Freya heard the referee call out that the battle was over!

She wiped her brow.

"Thanks for the great fight, Carrie. I assume Whitney is next or is there another challenge before I get to fight her?" Freya knelt and took out a soda pop from her bag. "Here Teddi, those bites looked like they hurt, so a little sugar to help pep you up for the next fight. Don't chug it though! This is just a treat."

Teddiursa grabbed the bottle with both paws and drank down the soda eagerly. The little bear wriggled in excitement. Once the cool refreshment was gone, she began to wriggle in excitement, spinning around and showing her claws. Ah. So cute!

Freya propped a hand on her hip, topaz eyes gleaming.

"Looks like we're both ready for a fight!"

Shortly after the referee called the battle Carrie was just about to thank Freya for a great battle when suddenly a pink haired girl started walking toward the battlefield. Carrie was quite excited to see her and quickly introduced the two. " Oh Mrs. Whitney this is our challenger Mrs. Freya, she was quite tough. I tried my best but I just could not win. She did teach me quite a bit about her Pokemon and others I would love to meet as well. I can hardly wait to see you two battle." As soon as the young chatterbox finished speaking Whitney finally got a chance to get a word in.

" Thank you Carrie and it is nice to meet you Mrs. Freya, As my assistant here already mentioned my name is Whitney and I specialize in normal type and cute Pokemon. I take it that adorable Teddiursa is the Pokemon you will use first? If that is the case I think I will start out with one of my cute ones as well. Go Clefairy!" In the blink of an eye the small, pink Pokemon appeared in front of her standing ready for a battle. Once Whitney saw what the young Teddiursa was doing she knew exactly how to counter it so long as she got a bit of luck.

Usually she would try Attract but as both POkemon were female such a strategy would not work, Sing on the other hand could but it was not super accurate so the risk was always high. Nonetheless a Teddiursa could wreck havoc if left awake so she had no choice other than to risk missing. " Clefairy you will struggle in a close up fight against Teddiursa if it is awake. Try your Sing attack before it can get off any damaging moves." As the Clefairy started to sing Whitney watched carefully in case the original strategy did not work in her favor.

She still had a few tricks up her sleeves if Sing did not work and another Pokemon waiting in the wings that was the ace in the hole should Clefairy not be able to handle things. Regardless of the outcome of the first round she was quite excited to see what Freya would bring to the table as she already seemed to be using a unique strategy instead of bringing a fighting type to make the battle far easier.

Whitney sends out Clefairy (Level 25) who uses Sing on Teddiursa.

"Greetings Whitney! And yes, this cutie is my choice to start things off. Never understood why folks would discount adorable pokemon as weak. A teddiursa can pack quite the punch," Freya said cheerfully, "even before it evolves into something bigger and more intimidating." 

As Teddi's twirling finally came to an end, leaving the little bear looking stronger and more dangerous, Freya saw the clefairy prepare her song. "Hold your ground. Don't fall for its lullaby okay?" She covered her own ears to keep from being swayed by that song to sleep. Fortunately, it seemed Teddiursa was too pumped from the last battle to take a nap. She covered her ears like Freya and growled.

<Now isn't the time to sleep. It's time to fight!> she grumped. 

Freya couldn't help it, she giggled, "Oh my~ Someone is just full of fire today. Okay, give it your best shot! Use slash!"

<Heck yeah! You're going down!> Teddiursa declared, unsheathing her claws and launching herself at the clefairy with dangerous intent.

Whitney’s smile only deepened on her face, though gentle and sweet it was. Finding someone who shared a similar mind when it came to cute Pokemon was nice. She nodded; those same eyes full of introspection turning upon her pink cutie pie with a knowing twinkle. “Oh, that didn’t work very well for us, did it Cleffy baby?” They required a different approach, even if that approach might prove to be its own double-edged sword. “That’s ok, we’re not down for the count just yet, are we?”

Clefairy popped right up and shook herself off as she turned to Teddiursa with a firm glare. So the little puffball didn’t like her song, did it? Clefairy would make the little cretin understand why sometimes falling asleep was the better option. “Fairry faaiiirrryyy!” She puffed up, placing her tiny little fists on either side of her star-shaped body. The frail wings fixed to her backside fluttered wildly, though not with enough effort to truly lift her off the ground.

“Cleffy baby, let’s give them a taste of our Metronome!” Clefairy jumped on the tips of her toes excitedly and clapped her hands. As soon as a finger on each hand began to glow, Clefairy would ball up her fists and waved them while chanting rhythmically underneath her breath. She kept only the glowing fingers outside of the fists and used them to point towards her opponent whilst waving her hands wildly in the air. “Some of the cuteness Pokemon are also the toughest out there! My Clefairy have a unique power that truly packs a punch.” Whitney added with a wide smile.

“It’s easy to judge a book by its cover, but you’ll never know what’s on the passages inside by doing that.” Whitney giggled. People were going to judge and gravitate to things that just ‘seemed’ strong or ‘seemed’ cool. Anything with soft paws and large, round eyes reminiscent of infants and underdeveloped creatures that pulled at your natural maternal or paternal instincts? You were naturally geared to want to protect them, and thus rarely looked at them as something ‘strong’ or ‘tough’. Whitney loved proving those sorts of people wrong. “This move is quite unique, too. I hope your little bear is ready for this.” Whitney teased playfully.

Clefairy uses Metronome!

"Oh I know how much power is packed into a clefary's pretty self~" Freya said. "I have a clefable of my own. Her name is Star. I didn't catch her but...a friend of mine noticed how much she liked me and followed me around and told me to take her on my journey." Her smile was soft. "She's a handful. But honestly, I am honored to have her on my team." 

She got a bit of a dreamy look on her face, "Since we're friends now...let me tell you a little about myself, yeah?" Freya crossed her arms behind her back. "When I was a little girl, I got lost and separated from my classmates on a field trip to this beautiful mountain top pool. The water there was so clear that you could see all the way to the bottom and it quite literally glittered with a rainbow of crystals. I, being the curious child that I was, wandered off to explore...and when I saw a wild clefairy, I couldn't help but follow it into one of the nearby caves."

Teddiursa pounced on the clefairy, slashing quick and hard.

"It was beautiful in the caves, but there were dark places where the light of the crystals didn't touch. I ended up falling...I fell for so long... I fell and fell and fell until I hit a pool of water deep in the belly of the mountain. Everything went black. I probably should have died that day, but I was rescued by a wild milotic that lived in that spring. She brought me to the surface. I woke in her coils and managed to flounder to shore. That cave was full of pokemon living in harmony... pokemon you would never think would interact together. When the milotic knew I was safe...she vanished... I never did see her again." It had been a life changing event. "But I did see a group of cleffa and clefairy. I think they too knew I needed help. They guided me out of that cave and where rescuers could find me... since that day I have had a special fondness for clefairy. And the pokemon who resided in that mountain cave in general..." She chuckled.

"But I'm rambling aren't I?"

Whitney's clefairy was now knocked out with a teddiursa standing victorious, ready to do a little dance in celebration.

"Now, show me what else you've got!"
