Better or worse, Tanya’s estimation was right. The rodent pokemon wasn’t even paying much attention to the trainer anymore. All her focus was on two things- holding her ground, and not freezing to death. Ghosts were kind of scary to begin with, but this one brought a small snowstorm with it, one that left the poor nidoran shivering and frosted all over. She shook her head and let out a thin cry as she focused herself, trying to move around a little in the patch of snow that the froslass had generated. It wasn’t to last, though- the red-and-white capsule arced neatly through the air, a few stray snowflakes clinging to the spinning surface as it dropped down- and bounced off of the nidoran’s head. A startled squeak, and a flash of red, and then there was no nidoran- just a red and white ball, falling to land in a snowy patch with a quiet crunch of ice crystals. The red indicator light was clearly visible at first, but the way the ball shook caused it to sink into the snow slightly. While the light itself was obscured, its glow created an eerie suffusion of red into the snow there, making it clear the capture was not complete.... but only for a few more instants. The shaking of the ball died down, the light faded with a gentle chime, and then the ball was still.

Nidoran♀ Name: Amira Gender: Female Level: 13 Ability: Poison Point Moves: Scratch, Tail Whip, Double Kick, Poison Sting Nature: Bold Personality: [-leaving blank for now-] --
The span of time it took for the capture to complete was an entirely silent one, accompanied only by the gentle whistle of the wind as it streaked through the trees and bushes, bringing with it copious amounts of snow. Puma seemed to genuinely enjoy it all, spinning with the wind and twirling amongst the snow as Tanya struggled through the accumulation and retrieved the now cold ball. Aster struggled out of her arms and landed in the snow, stretching himself around and nodding at the girl as she shifted her eyes to him.
He was ready to try battling again, and there was no way she could deny him the chance. Despite the knock-out, the Ralts seemed fairly peppy, having recovered some energy while resting in his trainer's warm embrace. "Well if you're sure, little guy. I wonder if there's anything that packs less of a punch to test you out on," Tanya spoke aloud, straightening up and scanning the treeline.
Puma glided over quietly and danced around her trainer, asking with silent eyes if she could remain out of her ball. "Yeah you can stay, just don't attack anything alright?" the girl said in a faintly exasperated tone. The spirit nodded and floated a few feet behind her, more than content to just play in the steady blizzard of snow. Aster sneezed twice as he stood next to Tanya, waiting for direction.
"A quick battle and then you can take a short break. I wanna see if I can get you evolved," Tanya said to the small Psychic type, earning another nod. A lump of snow fell to the ground with an audible yet muted noise beside them, causing Tanya to jump and Aster to spin about quickly to face down whatever was about to appear before them. "I don't care what it is, amigo, startle it with Growl!"
OOC; A Nidoran♂ please ~

Nidoran snorted as Aster sucked in a breath. The young Ralts was ready to try again when it came to battling, even if the last one hadn’t gone so well. He finally let the growl out, making Nidoran shake as it sent a quick shiver through his system and lowered his attack stat. giving another growl of annoyance, Nidoran thought of what to do next. He knew his double kick wouldn’t do much against the Psychic type, there had to be another way of doing thing. Well, maybe he could use defense lowering to his advantage. Nidoran casted a scary glance at Aster,and when it caught the Ralts’s attention, it gave a contented cry as his defense was lowered. It was pretty peeved that they had captured his nidoran, and he wanted quite a bit of revenge. Aster kind of sighed a bit. Why did these Pokémon have to be so obsessive over one another? Seriously, just because you two seem to be made for eachother, didn’t mean it had to happen. Though that was an in his head though and Aster avoided thinking aloud, after all, the last Nidoran had done a number on him, there was no reason no doubt this one may have been out to do the same thing. Though...it kind of looked like a chic. ____________________________________________________________ VS.Wild Shiny Nidoran |Level 11| Health: 100%(34/34HP)Status: Attack (-1)!

Aster's Growl wasn't particularly terrifying, but it did spook the Nidoran♂ that happened to be hiding in the snow-laden bushes. It had leapt out after this and sneered at the Ralts, shaking its blue-skin free of any hindering snow. Tanya frowned at the Poison type, wondering why this one was blue, when the one she'd captured a while back was purple. Perhaps the winter weather had affected it so harshly its skin had changed colour!
And then she remembered that the newly caught Nidoran♀ she had stowed in her pocket was blue as well... and judging by how pissy this rodent was, perhaps it had taken on the female's colours to impress her or just so that they were a matching set. The idea was rather adorable, and the fiery-haired teen bit back a giggle, her cheeks flushing pink. Well, she wasn't going to let the little lovebirds be separated, now was she?
Green eyes shimmering, Tanya looked over at Aster, who still seemed to be raring to go. Hopefully this time he wouldn't take a heavy blow and go down again. Her eyes then drifted to the odd-coloured Nidoran♂, and her mind wandered. No Pokémon actually changed colours based on the environment, exlcuding Castform, or due to some infatuation. Her mind conjured up images of Romansu, the golden Luvdisc she'd caught so long ago.
Finally she caught on; this was a shiny Pokémon! They were ridiculously rare to find in the wild, and Arceus be damned if she was going to let it get away now! Feeling jittery, as if someone had injected adrenaline straight into her veins, Tanya cast her hand forward and grinned widely. "Tough it out Aster, and strike it with Confusion!" the girl called out excitedly, her heart speeding up as she watched the Ralts obey her order.

The look of pure loathing in the beast’s narrowed gaze was hard to mistake as he lowered his head to the ground like a bull, aiming his spike dead center of the Ralts’ heart. Humans were terrible creatures---this one was a trainer, he knew. The kind that always kept catch more and more Pokemon, more than they could carry and for what?
Why couldn’t she just have let them be? Why couldn’t she just have left them alone? Was it so hard to ask for a world less cruel towards them?
It was bad enough they were shunned by their own communities---him for looking like a female and her for loving him. No, after all they went though, he wasn’t going to give her up. Not now. Not ever.
As soon as he’d heard the female human’s orders to attack, his bristles stiffened in alarm though a brow raised itself enquiringly. Confusion? What the hell of an attack was ‘Confusion’? He didn’t feel confused at all. His mind was clear as crystal at what he needed to d---
OhgodwhyweretheRalts’armsglowing? And what was that ball of light---
In an instant, he found himself sprawled on his side several feet away from where he once stood, head spinning and nausea building in his gullet as he tried to remember how to bloody stand. What the hell was that? The damn critter didn’t even more towards him! Witchcraft? Sorcery? A bit of both?
Aster’s expression didn’t change a bit as he put his hands down once his work was done and simply stood back with a grin hinting at a bit of cruel derision over the Nidoran’s punch-drunk stumbling. To him, this animal was nothing more than a crude brute Neanderthal, relying wholly on force when the mind could offer so much more. It was fun watching Pokemon go down without a single finger being laid upon them. Some would have called it unfair of course, but Aster was rather pragmatic when it came to matters as such---there was no fair in a battle, only a winner and a loser.
His mask of cold serenity was broken when disgust crossed his face---the Nidoran had stopped stumbling around finally and was heaving chunks of something into the bushes. Evidently the nausea had been too much for the saurian rabbit to hold back. Something about the whole situation made the Ralts was to laugh, but the laughter quickly died in his throat when he saw the Nidoran turn around to face him, and this time that blood-red gaze was not crossed eye.
“NI! NIDORAAAAAN!” The little beast shrieked furiously before hurtling towards Aster who was too shocked by his chutzpah to move out of the way quickly enough. A ball of spines collided with the Ralt’s middle as the misshapen hare pinned him down by his arms and drove that singular bucktooth right into Aster’s face where his brow would have been…..

The Nidoran♂ was knocked silly with just one hit from Confusion, which made Tanya's respect for Aster's strength grow even more. Compared to the Nidoran♀ he'd fought the previous battle, his current foe was a little easier to deal with. Not to mention fairly weak for losing its lunch in the bushes. He hadn't even tried all that hard; it was a miracle the damn Poison-type was still alive! The derisive sneer that appeared on his face was concealed from Tanya, who only saw the back of him.
Tanya's nose crinkled when she heard the sound of retching; even Puma seemed put off as she glided silently to her trainer's side to watch the battle. The Froslass snorted softly and crossed her arms, trying not to laugh as Aster got his good when the blue rodent came streaking over with murder blazing in its crimson eyes. The ensuing chaos was either hilarious or pure insanity, depending on which way you took it...
Aster gritted his teeth as he struggled with the furious Nidoran♂ pinning him down, a trickle of blood running down the side of his face to stain the snow red from the wound where the insufferable rat's large front tooth had been driven in. With an almighty burst of strength and anger the Ralts succeeded in knocking it flying off him and back into the snow, quickly leaping back onto his feet and glaring.
His pride had just been insulted by letting this... this impudent hare knock him flat on his back and attack him while he was down. If it hadn't been for the fact his trainer called the shots, why he'd have it begging for mercy as he broke its mind and drove it to the brink of insanity-- "Aster!" A sharp bark of his name was all it took for the near murderous Ralts to snap out of his state of mind and turn back to a concerned looking Tanya. "You zoned out there, amigo. Scoot aside, I'm not letting this guy get away on me," she said, tossing a blue and red striped ball into the air as Aster shuffled slowly, hesitantly, out of the way.

Ripping furiously into the Ralts before him, the Nidoran who found himself flung several feet away was undaunted to say the least and after a few moments of struggling due to his towering spines being buried in the earth, he finally got back onto his feet and pawed the ground like a little bull out of Tartarus before charging for the Aster who it seemed, move out of the way just in time as he came sailing right into where the Ralts had previously stood.
It was like some skewed version of a bullfight and Aster wasn’t at all keen at playing matador, therefore as luck would have it the Nidoran looked around to find his opponent only to be greeted with a frontal face smash from some…strange…sphere like…
Sphere-like. Oh god.
“NIII! NI NI NIDOOOO!” The mutant hare shrieked in a ghastly fashion as that familiar and much-dreaded red light of captive doom shot out for him like so many blood-red tendrils to drag him into its confines. Clearly the animal still had fight in him, judging from the way he valiantly struggled and thrashed against the ball’s hold as it slowly drew him closer and closer, but the mechanism proved mightier as it finally enveloped the whole of the Nidoran whose body particles slowly disappeared into the confinement area before it shut both halves with a loud ‘CLACK!’.
Even then, Puma and Aster were treated with a strange show---the Nidoran steadfastly refused to give up as the ball shuddered and rolled about before hopping up and down furiously like a Mexican jumping bean, shooting for Aster yet again to almost nail him in the eye to miss and crash into a nearby tree, and it was only when it fell to roll between the roots did the ball finally stopped shaking violently and the red light died down to nothingness.
The capture had been a success!

Shiny Nidoran♂ Name: Tiberius Gender: Male Level: 11 Attacks: Leer, Peck, Focus Energy, Double Kick Ability: Poison Point Nature: Adamant Personality: A ridiculously persistent and headstrong Nidoran♂, Tiberius always seems angry or upset with something, whether it be a passing Pokémon or a rock in the middle of his path. Has been known to lash out at his trainer and other Pokémon, though he reserves most of his hatred for Aster. Tiberius is a fearless fighter and will charge into battle without a fleeting thought on behalf of his own safety. When calm, he will grudgingly allow affection from Tanya, though he often zones out to block out anything from riling him back up. --
The resulting capture sequence that unfolded before them was one she'd never encountered before, and Tanya made sure to take a hasty step back from the ball's radius just in case it made a beeline for her. Aster was nearly nicked by the angrily twitching ball as it soared inches from his face and crashed into a tree before finally going still. Tanya blinked once, surprised at the tenacity of the wild critter, before slowly approaching the unmoving capture device and plucking it from the snow.
She held it gingerly, like one might hold a bomb, before shrinking it and returning it to her pocket. The one carrying her team and new captures was beginning to fill up quick, and the blizzard seemed to be getting worse by the minute. Aster shivered as he shuffled back to Tanya and huddled up against her thigh, trembling but making no noise. "Thank you, Aster. You fought very well," the girl praised him, earning a faint smile before he was recalled to the confines of his ball.
Puma swirled next to her before gliding forwards towards a blurry patch of objects. "You gonna lead the way home girl?" Tanya asked, squinting her eyes to try and see through the thick curtain of snow that was cutting visibility to near nothing. The Froslass nodded and waited until Tanya struggled through the snow and got closer before floating away again, leading the way back to town slowly but steadily.
They entered the Center and Tanya let out a long, pleasurable sigh as heat embraced her cold-chilled body, nearly sagging to her knees in relief. Nurse Joy looked up from her book and shook her head lightly. "I'm not surprised you're half a popsicle. Thaw out a little and let your pretty ghostie lead you home before it gets too thick for travel," the matron said warmly before returning to her novel.
At her compliment, Puma snickered, knowing that this woman clearly had no idea what she was really like - on the inside. Tanya merely nodded gratefully, marched over to the PC and typed out a long message to her parents before swapping some Pokémon around on her team. If the weather started clearing up, she'd try heading into the forest soon, and she wanted to be ready for anything it threw her way. Twenty minutes later she was waving goodbye the the nurse and following Puma back to her cottage.
(Whew, finally finite. ^^)
