Gleaming Hallow Wild Encounter#1: Sharada

[Kataya]

Wild Venonat (Level 12) has appeared! Please pick a Pokemon to battle.

[Morrigan]

Stopping beneath the shade of a tall tree, Sharada placed a hand on her chin as her eyes darted around the thick tree trunk, noticing one or two holes quite high up, much too high for her to reach anyway. "Perfect hiding spot if you ask me... Now's just the question of how the heck to check them out." Not noticing the mischievous stalking Pokemon which had been following them around this whole time, the sound of Arbok acting up was enough to make the brunette turn on the spot, her icy blue eyes lingering over what had caught her serpents attention. Flashing the dangerous markings etched across it's inner hood, Arbok lashed her tail across the earthy ground, tearing up leaves whilst hissing viciously at the fluffy purple bug.

"Hold back, Arbok!" Sharada's cry echoed between the tree trunks along side her tapping feet as she jogged a little bit closer. Sure it wasn't a Farfetch'd but it was a Pokemon either way, that and it was somewhat adorable. As her loyal snake slithered to the side of Sharada, it held back it's urges to lash out as the brunette continued to watch it carefully, the corners of her lips curling upward as she watched the bug shivering coldly before letting out a sneeze. Reaching for her Poketch, the trainer scanned for information of what was before her, the fluffy creature not being all that native to her Hoenn eyes. "A Venonat, huh? Well, another Poison type wont go amiss. Heh, might even make Joe crack a smile I guess." Upon realising Sharada wanted to battle this thing, Arbok hissed deeply and attempted to slither forward, only to have Sharada hold out an arm to block her way. "Now now. You're time will come soon. I have a feeling you would flatten it too quickly. We need something a bit more... gentle."

Sneering, Arbok backed off, eyes ready to give a look of death to whoever else Sharada would pick over her. "I've had this Ralts for a while but never really given her a chance... Lets see how she fairs." Tossing the lone Pokeball forward, the bright light which emerged slowly settled into the shape of a Ralts, it's helmet like hair covering it's crimson red eyes, making it a little difficult to know what the Pokemon was feeling, especially as it was looking from side to side in confusion, shivering nervously as it went. Parting her lips to order a move, something suddenly happened what Sharada couldnt even begin to imagine. From her holster, another Pokeball blew open, the culprit revealing itself to be Bellatrix, her overgrown Nidoqueen.

Obviously fed up with being tucked away for so long, a battle was something she was in desperate need of and was willing to partake in with Sharada's ok or not. "Bellatrix what the heck are you playing at?!" The brunette roared out loud, grimacing as the armour-like creature lifted her tail and swiped Delphine powerfully to one side. Gasping at the sight of her tumbling Ralts, Arbok was quick to act, the slithering snake rushing at an incredible speed and successfully catching the tiny being in it's hood, avoiding Delphine any critical damage. With a sigh of relief, the brunette turned in absolute rage to her Nidoqueen, only to see the violent Pokemon parting her jaws and lunging towards the Venonat with a Bite attack.

( OOC: Doing JoeSwitch tactics with the whole; Delphine (Ralts) was sent out first but then Bellatrix (Nidoqueen) jumped in to fight instead. )

[Kataya]

Venonat watched the girl and her Ralts curiously, startled when another Pokeball on her belt busted open, revealing a rather large Nidoqueen. This intimidated Venonat as it stepped back, shivering from whatever was ailing it. It was chilly, and now this thing was charging towards it. Suddenly coming out of its scared state, it looked upon Bellatrix in a slight anger. It wasn’t going to let her get it so easily!

“Veno!” it cried loudly, its eyes suddenly taking on a bright glow. Bellatrix was stopped in her tracks, confused by what was happening. She was suddenly lifted off the floor mid charge, and was now being balanced in the air. Venonat twisted its body, sending the dangerous Nidoqueen into the tree behind her. The trunk was strong, but as Bellatrix got up, she did leave an indent in it.

She was also angry, to be overthrown by such a small creature! Charging once again, she this time made it all the way to the Venonat, quickly sinking her teeth into it. Venonat smelled of sickness, and screeched with pain as its energy was drained. Bellatrix soon let go, not standing the smell much longer.

“Veno…nat…veno…” Man…it really didn’t want that attack used again! Eyes shining once again, Bellatrix felt Paralyzed for a minute as she realized something. The Venonat had made her forget how to use Bite for a while!

Sneering at her wild Nidoqueen, Sharada couldnt help but feel that the sudden Confusion thrown against Bellatrix was well deserved. Whilst she loved all her Pokemon dearly, there were one or two characters in her possession that were sometimes a bit too big for their boots. Instead more worried about Delphine, the brunette turned as soon as Bellatrix was sent crashing into the nearby tree trunk but remained unfazed by the sound of ripping tree bark as Arbok approached her with a shivering Ralts held gently in her jaw. Dangling from Arbok's mouth whilst shivering violently, arms covering it's face, the serpent cautiously dropped the tiny Ralts into Sharada's arms, the trainer acting a bit concerned as she twitched in horror upon receiving physical contact.

"Delphine.." Sharada whispered softly, only to be surprised as the Ralts began more nervous rather than relaxed. Since being held wasn't helping, the brunette cautiously placed the Pokemon on the floor, watching as she shook with the lucky egg gripped tightly in her arms. Flashing a glare to Arbok, Sharada nodded once, "Keep an eye on her." As Arbok lowered to the ground, Sharada turned to look at the battle which she had ignored for long enough, only to see Bellatrix spitting out the Venonat in a disgusted manner and looking as if she were about to burst into a fit of sneezes herself. Raising an eyebrow, the brunette reached into her bag, "Seems like the little critter may have a cold afterall, I've never seen Bell have such a sniffly expression."

Pulling out her hand to reveal a lone Pokeball, a sly smirk crept over Sharada's face, "Well, even more reason to capture it. Heh, I'm sure it'd appreciate being looked over at the Poke Centre." Extending the size by pressing the center button, the brunette called out to her Nidoqueen, "Best move unless you wanna be caught again!" Knowing her battle hungry beast wouldnt budge, Sharada instead took multiple steps to the side instead, aiming roughly before tossing the Pokeball forward.

x1 Pokeball

Venonat watched Sharada curiously as she tossed the Pokeball at it. It didn’t seem like she had the most precision in her throw, but Venonat seemed too young to understand what a Pokeball even was. It squeaked softly in a sneeze as the Pokeball hit its delicate purple fur. It cracked open and Venonat felt itself changing. The red energy sucked it inside, and it slapped shut as soon as Venonat was there securely.

Venonat didn’t know what this was, but it was scared, very scared. Feeling like sneezing wildly, it flailed inside the ball, making the contraption shake on the ground. Bellatrix watched it. She didn’t seem to care whether it stayed in or not, but if it stopped, that’d be great. The Venonat inside was growing tired. It soon began to stop struggling. This girl seemed nice, and it was really feeling weak…

The Pokeball came to a complete stop soon, clicking to alert Sharada that the Venonat had been captured. Bellatrix snorted as Sharada’s Pokedex went off, urging her to fill out any information on the Venonat, which was now tucked away within the safety of the Pokeball. It had quickly discovered that the contraption indeed offered the warmth and safety it needed.

Watching with hope as her terribly aimed throw meant that the autotracker built within the ball had to take controll itself, actually capturing the Venonat itself wasn't the main concern on her mind. Bellatrix was having that moody moment where she couldnt finish off the Pokemon until the very last blow. It couldnt be helped though, anything what seemed either cute or of some use to her Rocket shenanigans often lead to capture whether the beast wanted it or not. Judging from the glint in the Nidoqueen's eyes, however, it wouldnt surprise the brunette too much if she just attempted to stomp on the ball just to have her moment of glory.

Shaking her head at just how grumpy Bellatrix acted, Sharada just about jumped out of her skin as the ball containing the newly caught Venonat flew directly back into her hand, followed by another grunt of annoyance. Filling in the bugs information, some sort of other worldly force seemed to know that she was holding too many Pokemon as the ball materilazied right out of her hand. Blinking, she slipped her Pokedex away, "Can never get used to that. It's kinda freaky." Placing her hands on her hips, Sharada now glanced her icy blue eyes to the trio of Pokemon before her. Bellatrix looking incredibly moody as ever, Delphine looking absolutely terrified and Arbok just wanted to eat something. Sighing at her rowdy bunch, the brunette decided to continue her travels around the Hollow, odd team in her tow.
