Wherever I Roam [Training Grounds]

[Pixel]

Freya was familiar with the ins and outs of how a breeder might live and run his facility. She rented a room at the Healing Hearts Ranch and paid said fee by helping out around the place. That helping often included raising hatched pokemon that Adrian needed help with that common had special moves he bred onto their movesets. Her Ursaluna was from him. She wasn't supposed to keep the massive bear, but after a heart-to-heart, wherein he got to see her evolve under the full moon after all of Freya's training, he decided that for now, Ursaluna was best with her. Freya ended up 'trading' her Tinkatink to Adrian to keep Ursaluna with the knowledge that one day they would both come home to their respective trainers.

The two pokemon she had with her right now were not even hers—Star was a clefable that latched onto her that Adrian said might be happier traveling with her and Azumarill was one of those special breeding projects that would one day have to return to him. However, for now, she was the guardian of both, and it was her duty to train them.

So when she heard of a breeding facility near where she was training, Freya decided to check things out. The land was vast and gorgeous. It had a wild look that was far less contained than Adrian's pasture. Who knew what kind of creatures could pop up here?

Instantly distracted from any thoughts of knocking on the door to say hello, Freya traipsed her way into the grass to investigate!

Heeeere pokemon, pokemon! Come to mama Freya and let her see what fun and interesting things were here!

Freya might have been mesmerized by the overgrown nature of the nurseries. She might have even noticed the occasional rare or exotic Pokemon within the facilities. Such as a strange looking dolphin that swam around the large lake, before a young teen shuffled though and switched her around with a small pink fairy carrying a large mallet.

However, these guys would remain in the ‘OFF LIMITS’ section of the Nursery, on the main grounds outside of the training and advanced outskirts. Instead, a loud caw would call to her from overhead. A strange looking bird with bright pink wings fluttered around. It was out for vengeance and BLOOD! There was a strict no-intruders policy in its neck of the woods and Spearow aimed to enforce it. “YOU LEAVE NOW! YOU LEAVE FOREVER!” Spearow cawed loudly.

It would kick and scratch in the air with its sharp talons. Where was that stupid girl’s face? Gimme, gimme! Spearow wanted to gut her with its sharp claws and show her what for. If she wasn’t careful, Spearow would snatch that girl’s face, or hair, or anything it could latch its claws onto. “YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! THIS MINE. ALL OF THIS MINE. EVEN THAT. THAT MINE TOO. AND THAT TOO!” It huffed, pointing out legitimately every rock and tree and staking its claim…

A Wild Spearow doesn't like Freya...

Freya was admiring the scenery, squinting as she was pretty sure she saw Paldean pokemon over there in the actual nursery portion of the facility...when a bird swooped down and did angry bird things. Like scream and try to pull her hair out and tell her that she was trespassing. Oh how terrible was she for not knowing that she had stumbled into its territory! Shame on shame!

She was mostly unbothered, "Yes, yes, I am aware of how terrible I am, you moody bird." Freya huffed. "I don't want your stuff. I am just looking around. But if you won't leave me alone, I will be forced to, well, use force." 

Azumarill was freed from her ball and bounced up and down, eager to test out her power. She thumped her paws on her belly as a challenge, ears twitching, tail bobbing. Don't be silly, birdie, you don't stand a CHANCE against these hands. Huzzah!

<I will give you a bath, you pest> Azumarill shouted. <You peck me one time and I will make sure you go back to your nest looking like a drowned rattata!>

"Please don't antagonize the spearow..."

<Why not? I wanna battle.>

The azumarill then lunged for the spearow to try to flatten it with a few waterfalls! Hyah!

The human tried to ease Spearow’s mind. She made promises that they all made when they were lying through their teeth. The wild bird narrowed its eyes skeptically on the girl, and swooped at her once more. “Your kind always want. You take and you take from the land until there’s nothing left! No trees for me to nest. No shinies for me to own. You go! Only option!” Spearow screeched loudly.

When Freya’s powerhouse of a rabbit hopped out, the wild bird immediately changed its focus. It swooped up high, missing Azumarill’s first blast, only to round back around and slam hard into the aquatic rabbit’s backside. It flopped onto the ground, temporarily dazed by the power of its own attack. Though Azumarill was quick, and nimbly spun around. She blasted Spearow in the face just as the wild bird was starting to get back up into the air on its wings.

“I’ll peck you both until you’re black and…bluer!” It screamed confidently at Azumarill, given that she was already pretty blue to begin with. “You’ll be so blue you won’t even realize you weren’t that blue to begin with! Hah!” It swooped low, though missed Azumarill entirely when she moved out of the way, and instead thumped its head on a nearby tree. The aquatic mouse was undeterred, and easily blasted the bird once more. This was the final message that sent Spearow screaming into the distance about unruly humans and their unruly Pokémon.

<And stay gone!!!>

Azumarill propped its paws on her sides and huffed, turning to face Freya with a smug look on her face. Ever since she evolved, she had been more confident and assured in herself. She was helpful, yes, but sassy and prone to showing off her strength. While Azumarill was often thought of as quite weak, the species really thrived under certain conditions, such as where they could boost their power and take advantage of priority aqua jet.

Waterfall was good too, mind you, but Azumarill was naturally slow and not so bulky that it couldn't get knocked down hard if it pushed its luck with the wrong foe. 

Such was seen with the spearow.

Speedy and capable of hitting hard, taking two blows from a STAB take down would have put the rabbit in peril, or even knocked her out had she belly drummed and not used aqua jet right after. However, the rabbit seemed to savor the victory with enthusiasm, looking up at Freya with an expression that begged for more 'fun'. She bounced from foot-to-foot, whirling when she thought she heard a noise in the grass.

"Ease up there, Azumarill. C'mere, before you get hurt, let me treat your injuries," Freya said, kneeling and motioning the rabbit closer. Azumarill sighed and obeyed, pouting as Freya rubbed potion into the bruise the spearow left. "There, feel better?"

<I would have been fine.>

"I know, but it makes ME feel better."

<If you're done being fussy, I want to go find something else to fight!> Azumarill declared.

"I can tell. Try not to stray too far."

<You don't need to mother me. I am a fully grown pokemon, thank you.>

"I have taken care of you since you hatched. Let me mom you a little."

<No.>

Freya laughed, shaking her head as she followed her pokemon deeper into the grass, topaz eyes trailing off to where the Spearow flew off after being defeated. She had a slight moment of pause as she entered the grasses, recalling her adventures at the Institute. "Everything will be fine. Not like there's any water here anyway. And everybody was okay. The teacher, the kids, herself, Azumarill, and even the little cleffa. Everyone was safe and sound and healthy.

She breathed in and let out a gusty sigh.

Time to broaden her range. No use in getting caught up in the past when the future was right there to be explored!

New encounter!

[Caramell 🍬]

A rainforest was known for its abundance of precipitation that fell over the land. It brought with it life, causing hundreds and flora to grow wildly from the generous amount of water that it brought. In the heart of the ever-expansive rainforest sheltering one-half of the estates, was a vast stretch of endless grassland along the other half of the estates. Still, thick clouds might occasionally pass over, offering pop-up showers that never lasted long enough to truly change the overall bright and clear weather.

Freya could convince herself that things would be fine. And indeed, an estate that enshrouded a local nursery afforded better and easier moments for both Pokémon and trainer alike that inhabited its landscape. Most of the other people carried themselves closer to the main nurseries, constantly investigating and learning about the young teenager’s makeshift incubators housing various Pokémon that they kept nestled and warm.

A small green Pokémon fluttered down on the tips of its nimble wings. It stopped for a brief moment and stared around. The feathers that grew along the small avian’s body were so new that they looked soft, like downy feathers. The Natu turned its head curiously up to Freya and her team before flapping its wings and chirped loudly. Were you mum? Despite its young age, there was a strange energy surrounding it that would allow it to take on anything Freya might throw at it.

A Wild Natu Appeared!

As they traveled and entered a denser part of the wilderness surrounding the nursery, Freya admired the lushness of the rain forested area. It reminded her of something... Oh! Pictures she had seen of the Safari Zone! There were a few of those around the world, reservations for rare and endangered pokemon, and one of them was here in Johto. She wondered if it looked anything like this place?

Wandering about, she saw the fence line peeking through the leaves and on occasion, she did spy another person. One was even pressed against said fencing, pushed up on their toes as if to strain to catch a glimpse of something just past the boundary.

Freya left them to their devices, minding her over-excited pokemon that hopped ahead, tail swishing as she swatted at the fronds of lush underbrush. Then movement caught her eye. She turned in time to see a little green-feathered pokemon flutter down. Oh. Hello there.

She grinned and knelt a bit, wiggling a finger, "Awe. You're looking for your mama? I'm sorry, baby, but I'm not your mom. I could help you look?" Oh she just wanted to scoop up that adorable little baby bird and snuggle them a bit, but that was likely a good way to get her face pecked. She liked her eyeballs exactly where she left them, thank you very much. 

Azumarill, however, didn't see an adorable baby that needed help. She saw a new opponent! She leapt forward and slapped her paws together. <You'll do. Let's do this! Battle time.>

"Azumarill! That is a baby." Freya scolded.

<It's fine. Baby or not, battling is an important skill for them to have. So put your...er, wings up! Show me what you're made of!> 

Freya shook her head and crossed her arms, "What do you hope to accomplish by fighting them?"

<Have some fun? Get some experience. Maybe make a new friend. You know just as well as I do that a good battle is the best way to show how strong you are and why they should stick by your side instead of toughing it out here all alone.>

"Sure, sure. But that one looks freshly hatched."

<So? Not my fault its mom didn't watch it.> Azumarill explained, scampering up to try to tackle the baby natu and rough house it a little. Azu was being reasonably gentle all things considered...at least she didn't body slam it with a Waterfall.

The small green bird smiled up at Freya. She spoke in such a sweet and kind voice that it reminded her of the humans who acted as mother birds for the young hatchling. Where was that strange boy that watched Natu hatch from its egg? Here was momma… she spoke like a momma… but where was poppa? It flitted its small wings and tilted its head around, chirping softly as it searched.

When the large blue rabbit hopped out, Natu’s eyes widened. What was that?! Immediately, it flapped its wings and lifted itself up into the air. It would land on Azumarill’s head before she could think or react and begin to peck as hard as it possibly could. Go away! Big, scary monster, no one wants you! Natu wouldn’t give up, however, and just kept peck, peck, pecking until Azumarill thwacked it hard as she played roughly with the young hatchling.

Oops… Momma… Momma, I tried. Was I strong, momma? I tried to be strong for you… Natu fell to the floor and flopped about dramatically for a second. Should Freya or Azumarill check on it, it would hop back on its feet and brush itself off, before jumping up and perching on Freya’s shoulder. Momma, you can’t leave me behind!

Would Freya take it with her or subject it to the true wilderness for all its life?

"Azumarill! Get off the baby! You are being too rough,' Freya scolded, even more firm now with her reprimand. Her hands were on her hips as she leaned over the pair. The water-rabbit huffed and reluctantly let the little birdie go and watched as it zipped up and landed on Freya's shoulder with a distressed peep.

<Mama you can't leave me behind!> it peeped and Freya's heart ached. She soothed the little one with soft noises and pet its fluff. 

"Shhh, it's okay, we will find your mama. You remember what she looked like?" As Freya spoke to the little natu, Azumarill spotted a curious rope with a sign on it. She wandered up to it and tugged on the fencing, peering past it. The path up ahead was quite rugged and rocky, though the Azumarill could see dense treeline ahead.

<We should go this way!> Azumarill declared.

"Or we could stay here and look for Natu's mom." Freya said, looking up to see Azumarill ducking under the fence and charging ahead. She shook her head and examined the sign. Advanced Training Grounds. "Dangerous up ahead. Do not enter this area unless you are an experienced trainer. Plain Badge required..." Freya wasn't sure how anyone was enforcing that particular ban, but she had her badge, so regardless, she could pull herself over said fence to follow. "Azumarill! Be careful. We don't know what is out there. Hey. HEY! You need to listen to me! What has gotten into you?"

[Caramell 🍬]

The roped off area might not be what Freya was expecting. No one manned it or guarded would-be trespassers from crossing over the invisible thread. Instead, eyes watched from overhead. Powerful and fully evolved primates swung high overhead through the trees, occasionally pounding on their chests and caterwauling to each other in warning. Several balls of dual-headed gaseous orbs floated just out of reach, shifting with their happy-go-lucky grin deeper into the forest before Freya could confront them.

They were the unspoken guardians, whose levels rivaled must have neared one hundred, watched the barrier between the two training grounds. In fact, just as she stepped over this makeshift threshold, she’d notice another peculiar sight. The image of a young boy who couldn’t have been older than twelve blasting through the air and back into the normal training grounds from blast of water spouting out of the ground itself. He was unworthy, and thus he was sent from whence he came.

Something moved through the tangle of wild grasses and towering trees. The familiar thudding of hooves pounding against the earthen ground might be the first thing Freya would hear. “A NEW COMBATANT!” The wild bull roared loudly, trampling brush and grass in its wake. “I WILL TEAR YOU APART WITH MY HORNS!” It bellowed. It was antsy and rearing for a fight. Anything and everything in its way must be completely obliterated. There were no other options.

A Wild Steer is running for Freya!

"A TAUROS!" Freya shouted. "Azumarill, you have to be careful! You're toast if that bull tramples you." This wasn't like the ones from paldea where Azumarill would easily have an advantage, a leg up as it were, with her fairy-water typing. This was the version found elsewhere in the world, the wild-type original, before it was specially bred into what it was today in Paldea. 

<He's got nothing on King> Azumarill declared haughtily, reminding Freya of the pasture guardian that lived on the Healing Hearts Ranch. He was an old, scarred beast with a shaggy hide and a penchant for driving trespassers away from his herd of miltank. The pokemon of the ranch respected and admired him—they spoke of him like some kind of ancient deity at times, otherworldly and older than memory. A creature from the Before Times that somehow outlasted all but his own mythology.

This, however, was not King.

He wasn't a level-headed protector, but a bellowing combatant looking for a brawl. He charged at Azumarill and Freya swore, hurrying up beyind her pokemon in support.

"Divert his course with play rough," she couldn't stop this course of action so she had to at least mitigate the harm. Azumarill was ON THAT, tensing up and waiting for the bull to be close enough to try to tackle and wrestle down to the ground. BRAWL TIME! Check out this HUGE POWER you mangy bull! HA!''

Freya bit her lip and rummaged through her bag. Should she try to just win this battle or throw a ball? Did she have enough healing items? She brought Star, but could Star hold the bull off if Azumarill fell in combat? She had not been expecting such a challenging foe, but perhaps this fight would be what knocked some sense into her stubborn Azumarill and make her not charge into every fight she saw.

Tauros stomped his mighty hooves against the ground. Who were these arrogant fools that wished to enter his domain?! “You will pay for your insolence with your life!” The mighty bull bellowed, lowering his head so that his sharp horns pointed towards Azumarill. When she charged forward, instead of charging after her as well, Tauros reared up and shook his head wildly, aiming to scare Azumarill from charging so quickly after him.

It would work at least a little and cause the rotund aquatic rabbit’s speed to falter. He slammed his feet back on the ground, causing the earth to shake a bit from the effort. “Now prepare yourself as I gorge you where you stand!” Azumarill slammed into her opponent with all of her might, slapping him against his shoulders and sides. As she did that, Tauros rammed at her with all of his speed and might.

The two were flung through grass and brush when the bull charged headfirst into his opponent. He rammed through her, knocking her into a nearby tree. Though, his anger could not be so easily avoided. In the heat of the moment, Tauros would not hold back. Repeatedly, he rammed into his opponent with such tenacity, that when he finally pulled back she was left flinching on the ground from the impact. “Learned your lesson, foolish one?! Ready to meet Arceus himself?!” Tauros bellowed with a mighty roar.

"Azumarill!" Freya cried out. Oh no. She fumbled at her bag. She had pokeballs and Star, but this was the first time in a very long time where it looked like Azumarill would lose a battle. She faltered in the face of his intimidating challenge and that hesitation cost her. Those horns slammed painfully into her center as she was carried through the underbrush and bashed into a tree. Being gored by a bull was never fun. She wondered if they could still run. She was pretty sure she had a fluffy tail in here for such an occasion...

Azumarill managed to wrestled those horns off, falling to the ground and panting in defiance. She rubbed her mouth, stubbornly refusing to admit defeat. This early? When she finally had a challenge? No way. Her ears twitched and she smirked <Finally. A proper opponent. I have been looking for one for a while now. Don't disappoint me now." Then she picked herself back up from the ground and lunged again, once more trying to wrestle the tauros and those powerful horns to the ground. To put them on 'even ground' as it were. 

She was having a BLAST.

Her tail bobbed, her eyes were bright.

This was what battling was all about!

The wild bull snorted. Sharp eyes pierced through the day as though their gaze along could gorge the stubborn aquatic rodent. They were intruders upon its land. Powerful intruders whose foolishness might have granted them access, but would not provide them permission to stay for long. “A worthy opponent for me would not be this easy to knock around.” The bull bellowed with a mighty shake of his shaggy mane.

He lowered his horns once more. With a loud snort, Tauros charged after Azumarill and gorged her along the thickest part of her stomach. They tussled; both combatants were flung through the thick tangle of underbrush and wild briar bushes as that would cut against their limbs. “Why did you come to this area? It is sacred and should not be seen by lightweights!” Tauros roared defiantly.

Azumarill’s wreckless abandon had her charging into Taruos’ horns. She attacked him back with her powerful arms, attempting to wrestle the beast to the ground as it were. As she tugged at the beast’s horns, pounding and pulling his head to redirect him, the steer relented. He tugged and yanked back hard against her stubborn fingers. Eventually, she slammed him onto the dusty earthen ground, but only temporarily so. “ENOUGH!” Tauros screamed, breathing heavily, as he slowly picked himself back up.

This battle was hard to watch. Azumarill was being thrown around by what was unfortunately very clearly a superior opponent. The tauros was just too fast and too strong. If they had some time to plan, maybe they could have overtaken the bull, but as it stood, they had little chance of victory unless Freya was able to heal the rabbit. 

She lurched but then suddenly found reason to pause.

(Would losing this battle help cool that ardor for reckless battling? Should she interfere?)

Freya swallowed and overcame that hesitation to run forward, her heart racing from her surge of impulsiveness, "HEY TAUROS! I bet you can't win a foot race against Azumarill and I! And no matter how hard you try to slow us down, you won't be able to beat us!"

Azumarill was struggling up to her feet, covered in scratches and bruises and aching all over. 

<A race? Now? In this middle a battle?> Azumarill called out. <You are going to get hurt if you run too far! Hey. HEY! Wait up.> Not wanting her human to get literally trampled by a bull, Azumarill jetted forward to chase after Freya, who was running as fast as she could, fully aware that she couldn't outpace a charging bull with a mission. 

"I will beat you too, Azumarill! I am the fastest human in all this...area!" Freya shouted, rummaging in her bag with one hand. Bingo. An ultraball.
