Creeping along steadily in the tall grass, it was late at night and Alastor felt uncertain about his plan. Something told him certain Pokemon might appear at night but not in the day, or perhaps this was something the boy had heard spoken in Littleroot; but regardless of origin it was a theory he meant to test and prod. Perhaps this was little more than a wasted journey.
"Where are you little buggers? You can't all be sleeping... Ugghh!" Searching for what felt like hours, it was a small part of his brain that seemed to protest and assert returning to shelter would be safest. He was always mildly afraid of the dark, but with Pokemon Alastor thought his nerves might be steadied. But this wasn't entirely true. There was a small shuffle in the brush a few yards to his right, then somewhere behind him. Panic set in and Alastor quickly scrambled around, trying to see what came for him in such earnest.
Why did I think this was a good idea? Last second he tried to reach for his Pokedex, pointing it at the attacking Pokemon with hopes of catching its identity in the gloam of nightfall.
the meinfoo merely observed as the human male startled. she didn't appear to be amused despite the stupid look on his face. in all honesty, she was more surprised. she had been on a stroll to clear her mind when she had happened upon him. the fighting-type had no real idea why a male human would be wandering about in the dark. was he lost, perhaps? maybe he got separated from his pack - herd - whatever.
"mein?"
the fighting-type tilted her head slightly as he pointed a machine in her direction.
Clutching at his Poke Balls Alastor quickly whisked his first selection into the fray; Vulpix came bursting out in fervor. It was the first wild encounter Alastor ever experienced, and he fumbled with the Pokedex before initially pointing the instrument at his opposition. So... fighting, eh? Daemond wasn't an option considering the typing matchup.
VULPIX

ABILITY : FLASH FIRE MOVES : EMBER, TAIL WHIP
"Well, that's an interesting Pokemon. Kilala, use... Ember. Don't relent!" Kilala seemed uneasy about her trainer's apprehension and uncertainty, yet dutifully flung its mildly impressive embers at the Mienshoo. He wasn't sure what to expect, but knew fainting the other Pokemon was the goal. It was obvious through his command though that Vulpix should at least try striking its target not once, but twice. Can Ember burn a target? He wasn't sure.
This feels weird, my stomache's... Oh God, my stomache... It ached and had butterflies at the same time, a condition almost worse than just the aching itself that Alastor didn't think was possible. Pondering if every battle would progress with this same feeling, he keenly traced his and the wild pokemon's movements as well as Alastor could manage. It was all happening so very fast.
the female pokemon reacted quickly, dancing away from the molten bits that scorched the surrounding airs in a merciless fashion. she had managed to execute a dodge by wielding her natural grace, gaze focusing upon the furry creature who had dare attempt to strike her.
"mein!"
she pressed her paws together and shut her eyes, concentrating. seconds later, her eyes snapped shut and she swiftly lunged toward the vulpix with a sharp cry, aiming with a low kick.
the wild mienfoo dodged ember! the wild mienfoo used meditate! the wild mienfoo's attack power has increased by one stage! the wild mienfoo used low kick!
"Jump and spit Embers in its face!" Thankfully the creature had taken a moment to pause, for what Alastor wasn't quite sure. It seemed to relax and focus itself before lashing out towards Vulpix in earnest. Kilala rose perhaps a foot or so off the ground, spitting fire downward as the wild Mienfoo rushed, sending fiery sparks towards its rushing figure as it dove down for a low kick. Alastor felt comfortable enough now that he could catch Mienfoo.
"Use Tail Whip as you fall down to distract it!" He hoped fanning several mesmerizing tails into the Mienfoo's face would bring down its guard, but Kilala seemed tucked out for the moment. The ecstatic enemy Pokemon seemed to relish in the fighting, perhaps it enjoyed a good brawl. Can't let it get away. He reached to reaffirm a spare Poke Ball was primed to capture Mienfoo once it fainted.
The battle waged on.

she recoiled as hot molten bits of hot fire splashed against her face and upper body. mienfoo released a sharp whine, gritting her teeth and baring them for her foe. it had been a direct hit, too. one that had caused her to glare and snarl furiously at the terrible agony, only for her to be temporarily distracted.
"mienfoo!"
snapping out of her daze, she struck out blindly, attempting to strike the foe with a pound.
the wild mienfoo was hit by ember! it was a critical hit! the wild mienfoo was hit by tail whip! the wild mienfoo's defense was lowered! the wild mienfoo used pound!
Kilala was struck by a rabid pound which had caught it unawares; Alastor couldn't even spew the words out for her to evade and she suffered the consequences of remaining in proximity to the Mienfoo. It shrieked at the burning cinders but gave no hint it would faint as of yet. "Use Ember once more!" It would ideally keep the Mienfoo on its toes, forcing it to try and evade before it was followed by the consecutive attack.
I feel bad for this Mienfoo, but Kilala doesn't know anything other than Ember... Burning was painful and Alastor knew this firsthand, but nevertheless he urged Vulpix to carry out the assault without hesitation.
"Try again with another Ember!" Vulpix seemed to understand the Mienfoo was on its last limb, and hastened the onslaught. Hurling crackling clusters of fiery debris, Kilala attempted to score another hit on the enemy at hand.

once the first ember had hit, she knew she was done. it had sapped away at the remainder of her strength, and had left her positively vulnerable. she fell onto her belly, struggling to cling onto consciousness only to black out moments later. hopefully the human wouldn't leave her exposed to the surrounding wilds for too long.
"mien..."
the wild mienfoo was hit by ember! the wild mienfoo has fainted! kilala has gained a level! capture?

"Kilala, you've done well." Returning her to the Pokeball, Alastor took a moment and readied another spare to capture the Mienfoo. It looked promising and certainly had a fighting spirit, proving itself in Alastor's eyes. He hoped it wouldn't suddenly burst awake with an adrenaline rush and kick his ass while Kilala was stored away.
Alastor tossed a Pokeball at the fainted Mienfoo!
"Me and you are going to have fun on all sorts of ventures, Mienfoo... I'll name you later. Daemond, you're up pal." Houndour came out of the pokeball and began parading a few feet ahead of Alastor sniffing along the grass all the while. It was still dark and his fur blended in nicely, Alastor and him camoflauged against the ebony landscape.
he grumbled unhappily, peering around at his surroundings with the utmost dissatisfaction. after several tries, his nest still remained imperfect. no matter how many times he adjusted it or struggled to get it just right - it ended up looking ugly and malformed.
"min!" he shouted.
frustrated, he escaped the confines of the nest, trotting outside to get some air. perhaps that would clear his mind. glancing over his shoulder at the clump of foliage, he sighed.

"'Stubborn Daemond is up to bat!~" Houndour snorted and huffed at Alastor's sarcastic tone of voice. Dude needs to drop the 'tude, I'm looking for obedience here... Perhaps Al just needed to be nicer to Houndour for a change. He shouldn't have bit me that one time. He wasn't finished mocking his pokemon yet.
"Why don't you try Ember, that should do it." Cinders whisked towards the Minun, scattering across its face and plastering its body in the soot. Doesn't look particularly effective... Not that he expected it to; but it was working nonetheless. Expectant eyes rested upon Daemond.
"Keep 'er goin'." Daemond kept up on the Ember, dispatching a second round with a sharp breath towards the Minun once more. Let's hope he can keep this up all day. For now he seemed content to obey his commands.
Daemond used Ember! x2

struck by a collection of hot embers, the electric-type winced and shook his head. producing a fierce glare, the minum executed a well-timed dodge before stepping closer to the offending dog and its human. his cheeks sparked with electricity.
"minun!"
he launched a series of thunder waves, intending to incapacitate the pokemon.
the wild minun was hit by ember! the wild minun dodged ember! ( 1/2 ) the wild minun used thunder wave! the wild minun used thunder wave!

"Just take the hit!" Daemond seemed ready to dodge, but Alastor was adamant on staging a full assault. Houndour was caught in paralysis, but once the Minun used the attack again it failed miserably. Or rather, it had no point in using the attack twice.
"Just keep up with Ember!" Remaining still the Houndour eyed the Minun like some chew toy, snarling fiercely. But the paralytic caused him to drool and the frothing mess made him look crazed. Spewing hot coals from his mouth along with spit looked comical to Alastor, he almost couldn't help but let out a small burst of laughter.
Daemond didn't appreciate that one bit. His hesitation caused his body to relapse into a paralytic state, causing the second Ember to fail. Alastor considered using Leer, but realized Daemond's only attack wouldn't take advantage of a lowered physical defense. Damnit.
Daemond was hit by Thunder Wave! Daemond is paralyzed! Daemond used Ember! Daemond failed using Ember due to paralysis!
DAEMOND

the pokemon appeared to be just as amused, facial features crinkling as he observed the dog dribble and fail to respond to his attack. shaking his, he continued to laugh and point.
"min!"
distracted, he failed to wield his advantage against the canine. merely clutching at his gut as he pointed at the electrified creature.

"Daemond? ...Burn it to a crisp, I don't think I want to capture this one anyways..." Daemond looked incredulously at his trainer, then back at the Minun's shenanigans. He growled, bared his teeth, and loosed an Ember from its jaws. He couldn't move, but he could focus his flames all the same. It would have to work for now.
Daemond managed to scamper towards Minun then, through sheer persistence and force of will. It was staggered and sluggish, but Houndour made progress in his diligence.
"Ember, again. Take your revenge." Scattering another set of cinders across the Minun, Houndour barked as a smoke cloud formed around its target. Neither it nor Alastor could see what had happened to the Minun inside, but Alastor's insincts told him it was far from fainted yet.
But it didn't matter; Houndour had overcome the paralysis through sheer willpower, capable of moving freely once again. He howled in delight.
Good work, was what he wanted to shout, but this was still far from over, if past experience meant anything. Al held on to his praise for later.
Daemond used Ember! x2 Daemond's paralysis wore off!
