"F*** me!" Aleks really didn't like seeing all this grass before him. But as Professor Elm said, 'you can't get to the next few towns by swimming. You'll have to tavel on-foot.'. It was a royal pain, as the Team Aqua member knew he and his pokemon worked much better in the water. "Well, at least it's a new experience. Right, Skipper?" The little sea otter pokemon at his side gave out a boisterous "Osha!" in response, the two of them resuming their walk.
Many pokemon seemed to hang or perch on the tree branches surrounding them, though after a moment they all seemed to leave in a hurry—as if something in the area had startled them and caused them to flee. Was it Aleks and Skipper who caused this, or something...else?
she nibbled upon the foliage, noting that its flavor today was pleasantly rich in flavor. the poison-type chomped upon the good food, filling her belly as quickly as possible as she stuffed her face with the good meal. her ears perked, and she detected something in the distance. something dangerous. and as she moved to blindly flee, she accidentally collided with the human's leg. dazed, she released a small mumble of her own name.
"n-nido?"

"What do we have here?!" Looking down at the pokemon that ran into him, Aleksei made an evil grin down towards it, his pokemon jumping at the surprise and getting into an offensive stance. "Skipper, use tail whip!" The command was loud, practically barking down at the poor opponent of his.
For the moment, it would appear Skipper the Oshawott was docile, merely wagging his tail at the pokemon. However, once the move was finished, Aleks pushed further and prompted an actual battle between them. "Now that it's weak, use tackle!" Charging forward, the sea otter let out it's mighty battle cry just before impact "Oshaaaaa!"
she stared in a dazed fashion at the tail whip, the whole display leaving her even more vulnerable to attack. after all, why would such a soft and round creature harm he -
"nido!"
nidoran was struck, face twisting from bewilderment to pain as she suffered from the tackle. she stood, and attempted to respond, but only proceeded to stumble forward and awkwardly land on her face.
the wild nidoran was hit by tail whip! the wild nidoran's defense was lowered! the wild nidoran was hit by tackle! the wild nidoran is confused! the wild nidoran has hurt itself!

"Don't relent just yet Skipper, use tackle two more times!" Maintaining the offensive, Aleks was getting very excited with this battle. The pokemon was not ready for him, and so this capture would go by a lot easier than expected—at least he had hoped so. In the back of his mind, though, Aleks knew there had to be another pokemon out there that he wanted. Something lurking in the high grass, watching his current battle and how the efforts of the opposing pokemon were considerably futile.
Reaching into his ebon satchel, Aleks retrieved a pokeball and clicked the button, it's size growing considerably. Once he knew his opponent was down for the count, it would be about time he made his first capture ever. Whether it was as a normal person or a member of Team Aqua mattered very little, as his skill in battle was all that truly mattered.

nidoran grunted as she was forced to take two, and not just one, tackles directly. she tumbled back, rolling roughly before coming to rest on her round belly. she released a small moan, her eyes dazed and her breath escaping her in short puffs.
"ni-do."
she went still, finally down for the count.
the wild nidoran was hit by tackle! the wild nidoran has fainted! skipper has gained a level! capture?

"Great job, Skipper!" Allowing the pokemon to faint before throwing his pokeball, he commended his first pokemon, Skipper, on a job well done—and a battle well won. He was prideful of his water type pokemon, and this victory served to boost that ego.
"Come on, let's go Skipper. Where's there is one pokemon, there are more to find." Making his way further down the trail of Route 101, Aleks suddenly heard a horrendous noise. It was sharp and sudden, it's presence causing him and Skipper to stand still in their tracks. Then came the imminent feeling that they were being watched. "I hope you're ready for another battle, Skipper..." Aleksei waited for whatever it was to show itself, searching the high grass and forestry around him for whatever produced that sound.
ragged breathing could be detected close by. a small creature composed of pink and creamy fur stumbled from the brush, terribly injured. her lips were curled, revealing pointed teeth as she struggled to continue onward. it was likely she wouldn't make it to her nest.
"s...skitty," she grunted.
refusing to merely lay down and die, she struggled to remove herself from the scene of absolute chaos. a roar could be detected someplace in the distance, and she hurried along. she barely took notice to the human as she limped by.

"Sit this one out, Skipper." Reaching for his other occupied pokeball, Aleks summoned his Slowpoke—known as Brolaf, to the field. "Give it your best series of tackles, Brolaf!" Hoping his pokemon didn't just sit there, it actually seemed to surpise him as it responded with a certain diligence.
It was pretty sad, though, as the Skitty could barely limp away. It more than likely wouldn't be able to dodge, unless Aleks underestimated pokemon. Perhaps it was the eerie roar in the distance which truly made one feel as though the Skitty was in bad shape. While he didn't think of it as an exceptionally powerful pokemon, Aleks would capture it, if not just to make sure it didn't suffer out here alone. Besides, it was kind of cute. Something better to look at than what he had just captured moments before. If and when the Skitty would faint, he'd lob one of his spare pokeballs to ensure it's safety with him. 'Maybe I should think of a name for it now?"

she was launched backwards. struggling to remain awake, she was aware enough to catch the sight of a large figure standing over her. it moved to finish her off, but, the capsule had thankfully saved her before she was slaughtered.
the dragon stared down at her empty claws, bewildered that her cute little prey had escaped so easily. oh, what a pity. skitty's were exceptionally delectable. they were composed of the softest flesh and their meat was tender. shifting her gaze toward the human male and his companion, she eyed the fat slowpoke. well, those were good as well.
"drud!"
she shouted, her figure somewhat hunched as a predatory gleam entered her eye. oh, she was going to enjoy this. flexing her claws, she prepped herself for an attack.

"W-what the?!" Even Aleks was taken back from the appearance of this pokemon, something so fierce, which he did not expect in these docile wilds. Watching it make a grab for the Skitty, it was a wonder to him why it was attacking the helpless pokemon. Retrieving his pokedex, he knew he had to act fast before it made it's move.
"Brolaf, hit'em twice with your tackle!" The entries of the 'Drudiggon' in his pokedex were pretty intimidating, as it was known to use it's claws to catch prey. He almost felt stupid for what he just did, acknowledging the Drudiggon eyeing up his currently charging pokemon with the look of an apex predator in it's eyes. "Get ready to dodge if they swipe!"
Though, as one of the tackles made contact, Aleks could tell his Slowpoke winced upon contact. 'What...was that all about?' This battle was already looking as though it was against his favor, genuinely wondering if him and his pokemon should run for it. 'What would the others of Team Aqua think of me, though? If I could just capture it...'

the dragoness appeared amused by the pokemon's attempts, peering down at the fat piece of flesh as it moved to tackle her repeatedly in an amusing fashion. had she been older, she would have gotten down to business right away. but she was still young and easily amused. despite the slight sting that accompanied the human and pokemon's actions, she pointed with her claw and chortled, eyes squeezing shut as she found humor in such a situation.

"Brolaf, keep it up!" Even though it just seemed to hurt his pokemon more, Aleks would be damned if he just let the Druddigon laugh like that. "Hit it with another series of tackles!"
It was easy to observe the anger that had been peaked within the male, eagerly calling out the opposing pokemon. "What are you laughing at, ugly?!" Yes. Aleks did just refer to the Druddigon as if it's name were 'ugly'. Would that have any repercussions? Maybe...
Oblivious - Lv.06 - Moderately Injured Brolaf used Tackle (Rough Skin Hurts)! Brolaf used Tackle (Rough Skin Hurts)!
in response to the insult, the druddigon released a snarl, glaring down at the pink pokemon before moving to smack it away with a scratch.
"drud!"
it released a terrible grumble before proceeding to stomp toward the human, its mouth wide open and claws readied to harm the boy who had dared.

Noticing his pokemon being swiped away, the Slowpoke remained on it's side, seemingly unable to move. The next thing he witnessed was the Druddigon heading right towards him. 'Shit!' Evading to his right with a tuck and roll, the Druddigon managed to reach out and tear open his backpack, which was cheap and thus made with materials that were not very durable. His many packs of chips, and a large sub came spilling out between him and the Druddigon—even Aleks could smell the zesty italian dressing and the rest of its ingredients from where he sat on the ground, eyeing the Druddigon.
Scurrying back up on his feed, Aleks dusted the debris of food from his, mostly being the crumbs of his chips—barbecue flavor. 'I hate this pokemon so much right now...' Yet, Aleks simply watched, his Slowpoke having now made it's way to Aleksei's side. For the moment, however, it seemed the Druddigon was being sidetracked...
