A spot of frost [F]

[Morrigan]

Quick on her feet, the young and energetic Catherine didn't bother hanging around the Newbark area for too long, in fact she found it a little too quiet and boring for her in the first place so after a quick introductory battle she had found herself wandering through the gate house and into the beautiful city of Cherrygrove. Again, it was a little small but it was much more intriguing. The way the aroma of flowers merged in with the salty scent of the sea was enough to bring a smile to her face and she was even more over joyed at the Pokemon Center was pretty much the first major building to catch her eye. Spending a bit of time within the walls of the haven and swapping the odd member of her team, high fiving in Clara the Audino and Piccolo the Minccino from the Unova Festival, the nurse to be was ready to hit the dirt path again after a refreshing meal.

Stepping out into the city once more with Piccolo nestled comfortably on the top of her head and Clara walking with great haste by Catherine's waist, the adorable trio were already ready to set out once again, Violet being their destination. Feeling that if she wanted to be a great breeder she must first master being a trainer, Violet held the key by having a Gym thus getting there quickly was high on the priority list. Considering visiting again in the future, Catherine skipped over visiting the small city and instead jumped right into Route 30, the pretty frost bitten scenery all around them was both beautiful but very bone chilling at the same time. The trainer having to rub her arms furiously in an attempt to keep warm, her breath being visible swirls around the air in front of her.

Even being in a thick layer of fur, Piccolo didn't appear to be all that happy and Clara was clinging onto Catherine's leg for dear life in fear of getting frost bite herself. "C-Come on, g-guys. W-We can do t-this! A-All happy on a count of t-three!" Not wearing much of a smile as the cold air was making her pearly white teeth tingle, instead, the trio just huddled together, stumbling along the grass of Route 30 as quickly as possible.

OOC: Sorry, not quite feeling this, got commissions/Uni on the mind instead. orz

Chatot was having a nice, quiet autumn day alone. By himself in a tree watching the other pokemon who lived in cherrygrove run along and play. Some of them were playing tag, others hide and seek, and others (like itself) were sitting along watching all the fun go down. Chatot liked being independant and alone, it gave it time to think and be by itself. Chatot enjoyed it's downtime. Whilst the other inhabitants ran along and had fun with each other Chatot sat and decided it would take a nap in it's barely shady tree as most of the leaves had fallen off.

Right when it was about to drift off into slumber, a Hoppip had rammed into it. Hoppip, Caterpie, Weedle, and Bidoof were having a fun time playing when Bidoof playfully pushed Hoppip's light body into the air. Hoppip couldn't stop in time! This was the cause of Chatot's enormous rage. Chatot began pecking them in an angry fit of rage. The 4 scurried off and went far away from Chatot.

What idiots! Playing a silly game of tag almost gave it a heart attack! Dumb children with their childish games. Chatot cawed about, making much commotion and a scene. The 4 pokemon were going to apologize when they saw a trainer coming that way. They all hid, afraid of being seen by the trainer and getting caputred. Chatot hadn't stopped cawing and was making a lot of attention to itself. It hadn't seen Catherine coming toward it until she was so close he couldn't get away. Chatot wasn't really sure it wanted to run, it wanted to take it's rage out through a battle!

A wild Chatot (level 8) appeared! Please send out a pokemon for battle!

[Morrigan]

Holding the hand of Clara tightly, the movement from above made Catherine tilt her head slightly, "Hmm? Whats wrong my little muffin?" Piccolo had begun to sense something close by, his large fluffy ears twitching as rapidly as his feather duster like tail, tiny voice chirping out as he began to point straight between a bush. Unfortunately the blonde female had missed the group of little rascals accidentally pushing the Chatot out of the tree but upon following Piccolo's pointed paw, her eyes lit up upon meeting the colorful bird. It didn't look all that happy to see her however, rage building up after being needlessly kicked out of it's bed just mere moments ago.

"Ahh! Amazing Piccolo!" Catherine praised with glee, clapping her hands together as Clara squirmed away to hide behind the female in fear. "What a colorful little bird! And it's head looks just like a musical note! Heehee, that is so funny!" Watching in awe as it ruffled it's collar feathers about, the young trainee nurse thought about capturing it just like how she had done with the Spinda at the previous town. "Sooo, to capture a Pokemon you need to battle, right? WEEEELL! Since Marzena did soooo well last time, I think she can do it all over again!"

With a happy grin spread across her cheeks, just about baring with the cold, Catherine tugged the little Munna's Pokeball from her bag and tossed it forward with her frozen stiff arms. Almost warming right up thanks to the bright red light, a large yawn suddenly emerged from the beam and was slowly replaced with the floating Munna. As usual, her red eyes were closed tight, tiny mouth yawning sadly at the thought of having to battle again. "OKAY Marzenaaa! Let's use those PEWPEWPEW Psybeams again! Piccolo and Clara are new, so show 'em how to do it, okay?"

[Deleted]

Marzena weakly opened her eyes as she processed Catherine's order. It wasn't like it was that hard to do a Psybeam, but being constantly sent out like this was distributing the image she was trying to keep up. In an effort to get back to sleep, Marzena only squinted as she floated into position and aimed herself roughly at the noisy bird that was not helping the quiet if chilly atmosphere.

"Pewpew! Pewpew!" The Chatot called out as it mimicked Catherine's words as it's anger came to a boil, it was go time! The Chatot fluttered down from it's tree onto the ground a few meters away from Marzena and held it's wings out wide, rather proudly at that. No pink floating weirdo would stop it's justice, wait....did that human say Psybeam?

Marzena with the goal of pacifying this ruffian bird opened her eyes wide as she let loose a multicolor beam of light and psychic energy. Before the Chatot could even reason there might be a problem the attack hit the bird straight on and sent it tumbling back in a daze. It was over in the blink of an eye and once again Marzena floated back to her trainer before closing her eyes, although she kept them open just barely to keep an eye on what was going on around her and Catherine.

Nature/Personality: Olive prefers to spend time on her own, living independently and thinking for just herself. She can be a bit of a spoil sport, usually rejecting any sort of fun and just huddling herself in the corner to hide herself away from the commotion.

- -

Having witnessed Marzena land another powerful Psybeam, even if she was a bit too sleepy and couldnt be bothered, the floating pink Pokemon was able to successfully aide Catherine yet again in her adventure, the colorful bird fainting with not even a fight. "YAY YAY YAY! Nice going Marzena! Heehee, the birdie didn't even fight back, it obviously wants to join us sooo much! We are going to have such a fun adventure together~" Closing her red eyes and quickly falling into a deep slumber, the blonde girl placed a finger over her lips and signaled her other team members to be quiet as she returned her hard fighter to it's Pokeball.

But as one Pokeball was returned to her bag, an empty one was taken out. Piccolo sat upon Catherine's mess of hair chuckling at the thought of another team member to poke at whilst Clara was still hiding nervously behind her trainers frilly dress. "Okay, okay! So let's catch this thing. One, two, three, gooooo!" With a toss of the Pokeball, the little bird seemed to remain inside with little to no resistance, Catherine skipping forward happily and grinning with delight as Clara lifted the ball from the ground her. "Let'see... How about we name her... OLIVE! Heehee, I dont like olive's but I think the name suits her!" Rather magically, the Pokeball from her fingertips seemed to evaporate into mid air, making the nurse-to-be blink in surprise as it hadn't happened before. "A-AHH! O-OOOOH! I think I'm carrying far too many Pokemon.."

Trailing off, she glanced up the route, realising that the gateway leading to Violet was already so close by. Perhaps she could just go and pop her head in there, rest up at the Pokemon center and then pop out for a bit more training? Well, it seemed like a good enough plan. Upon travelling into the entrance of Violet to heal up and switch around a Pokemon or two, Catherine walked back into the chilly route, new team in her bag and warm scarf wrapped around her neck.

[Dan]

A fluffy, cute little Mareep had stumbled its way into the route that Catherine was walking along. After healing her pokemon, they should be ready for a good battle! Mareep hadn't seen Olive get captured so it might be in for a little surprise if Catherine would pulls out another high level pokemon to attack it! Mareep hadn't spotted any pokemon around the route yet. Which is quite weird since pokemon are usually out playing at this time. It felt a ominous shiver run down its spine. What if there was a dangerous predater nearby and everyone was hiding from it!? It was just standing out in the open, the enemy could attack it without any problems!!!

Little did Mareep know that the predater was Catherine! Her Munna had scared all the pokemon that had been playing there away. They had witnessed its awesome power and thought best to flee so they wouldn't have to face its wrath! Catherine herself wasn't scary but her pokemon were. They were too powerful and the pokemon around there didn't want to take them on. Mareep ran into a bush when she heard the footsteps of someone or something coming nearby. Twas Catherine who had come back for another battle! Mareep thought that she was here to help save it so it ran up to her in hopes that it would help it. But upon noticing the red and white pokeballs that she carried. Mareep was about to run away when it decided it was far to late to flee. Catherine had already spotted it and Mareep wasn't very fast at only level 5. Mareep backed up and went into an offensive crouch.

A wild Mareep (level 5) appeared! Please send out a pokemon for battle!!!!

[Morrigan]

Striding out of the gateway from Violet City once more, the nurse in training was incredibly happy to be back outside in the open routes. Traveling was always high on her things of things to do but she always pictured battling to be a thing of evil. Now actually participating in it herself, she was shown that it powered up both her own team and the opposing Pokemon, that and she could get new friends so easily! Obtaining badges, winning contests or participating in tournaments meant nothing to her. As long as she could gain friends, keep them healthy, look after eggs and one day work alongside the nurses in Poke Centers, then her lined up life was perfect!

Of course, all of this took time but it didn't stop the blonde girl from being overly excited. Now skipping out of the gate house and down the dirt path a little, she took in a deep breath before wrapping her scarf tighter around her neck. "Where to go, where to go~ OOOOOOOOOOH!!" Little Catherine didn't have to search too far as a lone Mareep had already jumped into her line of strides. For whatever reason, it looked utterly terrified, causing the girl to wander closer with no worry of her own health and kneel down in front of the quivering sheep. "Aaawww, whats the matter little sheepy? Are you alright?" Tilting her head to one side, she was forced to move back into a standing posing as the Pokemon crouched, looking as if it were about to pounce at her.

"Ooooh! I get it! You wanna battle and see how super strong I am! Well, I have someone just PERFECT for you, heehee~" Picking out a Pokeball and tossing it forward, the sphere opened and within the flash popped out a green monkey. Catherine's Pansage, Atlas, who was acquired during the homely Unova Festival. Not quite managing to stand still due to her excited squirming, the blonde was so happy to see her friendly monkey, so much so that she couldnt help but dash out and give him a heart hug, which he preferred to battling any day. "My-little-Atlas-how-are-you-I-have-missed-you-so-much!!" Speaking so fast that he didn't quite have time to make out what she had said, he merely replied with numerous chimp like chirps which she took very happily.

Placing him down on the ground again, Atlas knew exactly what was coming. Looking over his shoulder at the restless Mareep, he sighed upon recieving an order. It wasnt that he didn't like battling, it was more of the fact that he was nervous. "C'MON ATLAS! We need to over take Chuck and Pro-pro! Use Vine Whip, I believe in you!~"

[Tyger]

However nervous Atlas might have been, it was clear that he was going to have to battle no matter what he felt. The Pansage had no need to worry though, the level difference wasn't anything to worry about. Catherine was much stronger than the poor Mareep, giving Atlas the confidence he needed to attack the sheep. The brush upon his head produced vines, which lashed out against the sheep. It let out a cry of pain, obviously surprised at the strength that the green monkey had. Atlas's vines retracted as he awaited the Mareep's turn.

It took a few seconds, but soon the Mareep was back on it's feet, however unstable they were. The wounds from the vine whip still stung, but it had to press on! Mareep wobbled at first, but then got into a good stable run towards the Pansage. Mareep then slammed into the monkey, but was surprised when nothing happened. Atlas hadn't moved an inch! Horrified, the sheep backed up slowly, bleating in fear as it faced it's opponent, now completely sure that the poor sheep was in over it's head. The next turn would be the end for the Mareep, and Atlas would reign victorious. Because of this realization, Mareep started to cry loudly, creating an obnoxious and sad sound.

Mareep Level: |5|
... Wow...
Health (9/22)
Status Normal
Successful Tackle

Atlas Level: |10|
Pfft. You call that a hit?
Health (30/33)
Status Normal
Successful Vine Whip!

[Morrigan]

Catherine's eyes almost popped out their sockets as Atlas gained a bit of confidence to lash out his vine whips. Growing up with his fiery brother, Prometheus, Atlas was always so used to being the one monkey everyone looked down upon. Always being the blame and always being the weakling but now that he was with Catherine, she planned to make him as strong as he could be. If anything it was more of the childish side to Catherine who just wanted to take over and be better than others around her, thus needing to make Atlas strong so she could boast about him. It was a round-a-bout way of doing things but she hoped that he would start believing in himself sometime soon. Clapping her hands and cheering him on, the girl did feel sorry for the Mareep which made her come to her next decision. Let Atlas win completely or capture the Pokemon.

"HMMMMMMM~" Trailing on a long hum, Catherine gained the attention of Atlas who was unsure about his trainer's sudden trail of thought. "OKAY~" She suddenly squealed happily, looking over to the wild Mareep. Winking cutely, the blonde haired girl began to sway from side to side on the spot, "Little Mareep, I need Atlas to get nice and strong so we need to continue this battle! After, I'll heal you up nicely, I'm a nurse ya'know!" Patting her chest, confident in her healing abilities, the girl nodded down to Atlas. "Let's hurry and finish this battle, hopefully we wont put Mareep through too much pain and then it can go home safely." Blinking up at his trainer, unsure as to why she didnt want to just capture the sheep to get things over with, he just waited for the order. "Atlas, use Vine Whip once again! We're almost there!" Itching the back of his head, the green monkey went back towards the Mareep, chirping out apologetically before readying his attack.

[Kataya]

The Mareep was taken back by Catherine's offer. She wanted to win, but she would still help it if it was down? That was strange, most humans weren't nearly as nice as this one. It stepped back as it watched Atlas. The nervous Monkey, it decided, would certainly gain more confidence if he won, and the Mareep felt back for him.

Blinking, it had an idea. It knew it was going to lose anyway, but it wasn't going to throw the fight. Instead, it braved a step forwards, making atlas jump as it let out a convincing bleat of defiance. When Atlas didn't move, it was another step forwards, followed by another, which was followed by another. Atlas stepped back every time, until Mareep was almost face to face with him.

The Mareep emitted shocks of static that danced hotly around its shiny coat, even if it couldn't use Thundershock yet, Atlas didn't know that. The monkey let the vines loose from the bush on his head, knocking the Mareep back a foot in his last ditch effort to save himself. The Mareep fell to the ground, to tired to carry on, yet strangely proud of itself.

Atlas grew to Level 11! And he might have gained a little confidence?

[Morrigan]

Catherine was forced to become speechless as the wild Mareep blinked and suddenly began moving closer and closer to Atlas, very slowly. Standing with her mouth open and hands clenched into fists which were held over her chest, the girl was thinking that this sheep had suddenly decided to go easy on her little monkey or atleast try to lend a helping hand. Atlas, of course, was nervous in this situation. The fact that the sheep was slowly stepping closer was enough to shake him up, making him stumble backwards. It was only a matter of moments before the two were practically face to face and what was more, the Mareep was egging him on by giving off teasing static blasts! In a fit of nerves he slashed out at the Mareep with his vines, sending the little electric type tumbling to the ground and leaving Atlas victorious!

"YAY! ATLAS YOU TOTALLY WON! YOU ARE SO CUTE AND STRONG!" Skipping over to the little grass monkey, he was merely standing there, blinking with shock at his own two hands before being scooped up by Catherine. "You won all on your own! Isn't that great?!" Looking a little bit unsure at his giggling trainer, he made a slow nod before hugging the side of her face. Even though the battle side of things were a little tough, he did like all the attention. In fact, it reminded him a bit of his sister who always comforted him after being so harshly treated by Prometheus. Slowly ushering him up onto her shoulder to rest, Catherine now placed her large green eyes onto the fainted sheep. Her posture became a lot more sensible, a gentle smile spreading over her cheeks as you spoke out calmly, "Now, let's see how this Mareep is doing."

Slowly moving onto her knees, the blonde girl reached into her travelling first aid bag and brought out a few healing supplies. Firstly checking for any serious wounds, which she couldnt find besides a few graze whips beneath it's wool, the little nurse began to spray a spare Potion over the Mareep, hoping to give it's energy back. Then, applying a small plaster across it's ear where Atlas had lashed out, the Mareep was as good as new. Grinning excitedly as the sheep was able to stand back on it's feet, the girl gave it a gentle pat. "Yay! Sheepy, you are all healed up now! Now, I was going to leave you buuuuuut, I'll give you a choice." Pulling out a spare Pokeball, she held it tightly in her fingertips, "You were really kind to Atlas so you can travel with us if you would like to. What do you think?" Smiling at the wild creature as it glanced from Catherine to Atlas, she was delighted when the sheep gently pushed it's snout against the Pokeball and was drawn inside.

Nature/Personality: [Choose]

Having a quick celebration with Atlas about their newest team member, Catherine slowly stood to her feet, brushing down her knees and stretching before looking from side to side. Wondering which way she should go, a nasty cold breeze surrounded her, causing her to shiver and grip onto Atlas. "It's getting a little chilly... L-Let's go and see what Pokemon are still about, okay? I'm sure there is something out here."

[Megan]

”Hoppip, Hoppip pip.” the little hoppip was bouncing in the grass when a large breeze picked it up and carried it on the breeze. A very cold breeze at that. The little grass pomkemon was plopped down in an unfamiliar area and heard a Mareep which it had heard many Mareep when they came to gaze and caught a Hoppip in its teeth but this was different and it didn’t make sense to the little pink grass pokemon. It had made its way towards the sound as it saw an unfamiliar pokemon batteling a Mareep.

It had seen the last blow of the two and watched as the female who must have been the other pokemons trainer rush over to the Mareep after praising it and squating down and healing it. She even gave the wooly pokemon a try. The little Hoppip was mesmerized that there was good in a trainer. It shuffled its way down the road as the trainer took off at the falling flakes and another gust of wind that yet again picked up the little pink pokemon and carried it on the wind. Yet the little pink grass pokemon was lucky enough that the wind was carrying it in the direction of the female trainer. After tumbling for a few moments in rolled in front of the trainer a little ways down the road and cringed waiting to be trampled on in the females haste to get warm.

A lonely wild Hoppip (Level 10) has been blown in your path. WATCH OUT! Don’t trample it!

[/size]

{OOC} Thanks Morri C: My bad.

[Morrigan]

Clinging tightly onto one another, both Catherine and Atlas began to feel constant shivers down their spine due to the sudden cold winds. The weather was just about bearable a few moments ago but it had changed so quickly. The coldness was chilling her to the very bone and even this cheerful girl couldnt keep up her smile for very long. After all, if there was one thing is bag of laughter disliked, it was the cold. She was too young at the time to remember but her family members were found frozen solid, leaving her in the world alone before Odette came to her rescue. So situations like this weren't all that great. "I-I wonder if Chuck and Pro-pro are okay... H-He said he didn't like the c-cold, right? H-Hopefully Pro is keeping his e-eye nice and warm!" Feeling the grip from Atlas tighten around her collar bone, the girl knew that the naughty fiery would look after his new trainer. She of course didn't know it, but they were both as bad as each other anyway.

For a moment, Catherine halted on the path, her light green eyes staring at the delicate snowflakes that were beginning to fall from the sky. "A-AH! It's snowing, Atlas, look!" Looking up at the falling snowflakes, no matter how much she hated the cold she couldnt help but think how pretty the snow was. Atlas wasn't a fan though as he remained clutching onto her, going as far as to hide his face deep into her scarf. Giggling softly at her Pokemon's reaction, she turned to look back from the way she came, the gate house which led to Violet. "If it get's too bad we can always move on but I really want to level up a few more friends first... W-Well, let's see how long we can last! We're doing great so far, right?" Hearing a grunt of a chirp from Atlas, his attitude to the weather seemed to bring her down aswell, the blonde merely sighing and turning back in towards the route, only to squeal at the sight of a pink blob tumbling in her direction!

Taking a step or two back, this new arrival shook a bit of excitement into Catherine, who in returned stared down at the shocked Pokemon in surprise. "Is that a, a whats-it... A Hoppip!" Smiling at how perfect this was, Catherine selected a Pokeball and held it tightly in her hand, "AAAHHH! I get it, I get it! You wanna battle because it's really cold right? Well dont worry, we'll warm you riiiiiiight up, little one! Then you can come on a adventure with me!" With a simple flick of her wrist, the blonde girl tossed forward the Pokeball, a bright flash illuminating the surrounding snowflakes and faded into the shape of an Audino! Looking around towards Catherine, the large pink Pokemon smiled happily, awaiting her order. "Now Clara, lookie lookie, I have a treat for you!" Blinking softly, the Audino winced as Catherine placed a strange disc like object on her forehead, her mind being filled with some sort of information. "Teehee, that was Flamethrower, go use it on that Hoppip okay, we could do with a bit of warming up!" Clara smiled cheerfully to her trainer, nodding thankfully before turning to the wild Hoppip. Without her trainers eyes on her, the large Audino pulled a look of delightful murder. She adored fighting more than healing and she wasnt going to hold back even against a weed.

[Sky]

The Hoppip grinned happily, glad that the trainer had understood its desire to battle. Hopping in place, the weedy Pokemon was almost blown away by a particularly powerful gust of wind. Instead, the Hoppip used the breeze to its advantage, using the momentum to slam its body into Clara's chest. The force was enough to cause the Audino to stagger slightly, but she kept her footing, stopping a few feet back from her original position.

Clara scowled slightly as she rubbed the place where the tiny weed had hit her. Sucking in a deep breath, she decided now would be as good a time as any to try out her newest move. Converting the air she had sucked in into flames, she built up the fire in her mouth before spewing it out at the Hoppip, engulfing the poor weed in flames. Yelping, the Hoppip rolled away from the fire, wincing in pain from the burns covering its body. However, the attack had warmed up the Hoppip considerably. While the battle was probably going to end badly for the weedy Pokemon, at least it was warm.

[Morrigan]

After using the little object, also known as a TM, Catherine was please with her choice of teaching it to Clara out of everyone she had. The large, pink Pokemon loved to battle but for whatever reason was always a bit nervous about hitting things too harshly. Back in Unova, Audino were also seen in Pokemon Centers frequently as healers but this one much prefered the art of battling. Healing, fighting, whatever made her Pokemon happy made the young nurse happy, it was a shame that Clara just felt the need to keep her excitement of battling to herself. Unknowing of her Audino's thrill seeking nature, the blonde bounced happily in the snow with Atlas clinging onto her shoulder for dear life, "YAY YAY CLAR-RA~ My hands feel all nice and warm now! I'm sure that Hoppip feels great too! Right, right?!" Staring over at the floating grass type, she noticed it wasn't as floaty as before and really, there was a burnt smell lingering in the air...

Not realising that her attempt at warming up the creature had instead burnt it half to death, the girl decided to try out the attack once again, much to Clara's delight. The warm flames were quite tingly in her belly, firing up her fighting spirit greatly. Rubbing her gloved hands together harshly, the young girl rubbed her rosy cheek against Atlas, who had now joined her in the warmth of the scarf wrapped around her neck. Smiling gently, the girl giggled before handing out Clara's next order, "Alright then, little Audino! Use your new Flamethrower once again! Nice and bright and nice and warm! Melt away all this snow!" Grinning back to her trainer in almost a motherly fashion, the large Pokemon nodded in agreement several times with Catherine's words. She was an interesting trainer though anything was better than being stuck in the Unova Festival pens. Concerntrating back on the floating pink Pokemon, Clara took in a deep breath to stir up another line of fire.
