The huge web spun by the eight-legged bug resting on the branch was impressive, and glittered in a beautiful way thanks to dew drops collected on the silken strands. Tanya wasn't freaked out by Bug types or spiders in the slightest; in fact, as the critter moved down its web, she was grinning quite warmly at it. It had a cute face, and it seemed lonely in this dreary ravine. Starscream turned away dismissively and stalked over to a tree several feet from the web before gazing into the foggy distance.

Saphira edged away from the web, freaked out by its size and not wanting to get caught in it or accidentally set it on fire. Tanya wasn't about to ask her to battle anyways; a ball was produced from her pocket and sent flying with a flick of her wrist. Aster the Ralts popped out, Lucky Egg flying on the string it was attached to. He took a moment to look around before settling on the Spinarak.

Perceptive as ever, the Psychic type shuffled forwards and waited for Tanya. "Smart ass," she snorted, shaking her head before focusing her emerald eyes on the arachnid. "Here's the deal, Spinarak. I'd like to take you along with me, but a battle comes first. I wanna test your strength, so no hard feelings about this. Aster, boggle it with Confusion!" The moment the words left her lips, the Ralts began powering up his attack, hoping to hit the spider dead-on before it could wound him.

Aster, being the faster of the two, was going to be able to approach attacking this Spinarak pretty easily. This is exactly what he did too. He let his eyes glow a bright blue, raising his arms into the air. The blue aura shrouded Spinarak’s body, and the bug felt itself being lifted right from its web. Its black and yellow limbs were flailing in the air as Aster brought it high up enough, letting it slam onto the ground as psychic energy surged through it.

The Spinarak got back up shakily, wobbling on its unsteady legs. Though it turned back to its web now, shooting out a string of silk and hauling itself back onto it. It then scrambled away in the tree branches, and for a moment, Aster had though it ran away. Though it didn’t. Spinarak was slipping sneakily through the tree limbs up above, and it secured itself on a branch. Then, it lured itself downwards, right towards Aster.

The area then got considerably darker, and when Aster turned, he was met by the glowing face pattern hat adorned Spinarak’s back, which spooked him because it had been such a scary face to see. Spinarak waited to see what Tanya would do next as it hung around idly from the tree, clicking its legs together.

Aster's Confusion hit the arachnid dead on for a fair bit of damage. Tanya looked pleased with his effort, even when he shuddered back from the counter of Scary Face. The darkening of the air sent chills skittering down her spine, and the fact that it was able to startle Aster, one of the more stoic Pokémon she'd owned, was impressive and yet somewhat terrifying. Sliding her eyes to the side, the girl looked over at Starscream, who was studiously ignoring the battle entirely.

Damn. She was hoping to see if that move had affected him too. A crunch to her right told her Saphira had driven her head into the leaves, quivering slightly. Well, at least it had bothered two of her Pokémon. "Good work Aster. You can take a quick rest now," Tanya instructed her Ralts as she rifled through her messenger bag for a spare Poké Ball. No point in going overboard in weakening the Spinarak further.

"Hope this works!" Tanya muttered under her breath as she lined up her arm and let the red and white spherical device fly. It soared neatly through the mist, whirling end over end as it sped towards the web-dwelling Spinarak.

[Kataya]

As the ball soared from Tanya’s hand, Spinarak stared at it. Was this girl going to take it out of this terrible place? Instead of moving, the intruiged bug let the ball hit it square on the back, and was even more curious as the ball sucked it inside, falling into the dirt after slapping shut with a small thud. It rocked back and forth gently as the Spinarak inside tried to figure out what this contraption was.

Aster watched it closely, waiting for the rocking to cease, and when it finally did, he nodded. The silent Ralts lifted it up with its psychic abilities and floated it over to Tanya. He let the ball drop into her hands and listened as her Pokedex went off. It was again, asking her to fill out information on her new Pokemon, and Aster always was slightly annoyed by the stupid contraption, but who could stop it, right? Well…he could…but Tanya would probably get mad at him.
