Brown hair rustling in the evening's breeze, Dmitri woke up later than he would have preferred to go searching for wild pokemon. Due to his negligent preparations, karma fated for him to find absolutely nothing beyond a few common pokemon. I want something interesting to show my family back home. I must make my motherland proud. Strutting through the fields Swinub in tow, he surveyed for signs of movement in the vicinity.
Patches of tall grass swayed to and fro all around Dmitri in the wind, but Swinub seemed to snort heavily, as if disgruntled by some odd stench. Perhaps he smells a truffle, or some other pokemon? Setting his traveling buddy on the ground, Broski the Swinub briskly went to work routing out a wild pokemon off in the distance.
"Eugh, just what are you supposed to be?" Dmitri withdrew his PokeDex and pointed it at the wild creature, hoping to ascertain its basest of features and attributes. Finally some luck. Today is good day for catching wild pokemon.
The starly was curious, and looked up at the pokedex in awe as it was pointed at her. She had never seen anything like that before, nothing like the human either. That was what she got for spending her whole life in a jungle and just flying to petalburg after loosing her flock, she supposed. She cried out and flapped her wings. Did the strange, tall creature know how to find her family?

"Run up and Tackle it, Broski!" He scampered off to slam his fluffy girth against the wild Starly. Ruffling its feathers was the least of Starly's concerns. Broski had the upper-hand in this conflict.
"Keep 'er going! Freeze-Dry the poor sucker!" Swinub the Broski exhaled cold air and it wafted over towards the Starly with a threatening presence. Nub-nub!You seem pleased with yourself all of a sudden. Perhaps Broski realized the obvious advantage it held over the poor excuse of poultry set before it. I wonder if it tastes like chicken... He imagined Starly reduced to lunch and smirked at the gesture. Surely it was just his way of entertaining himself until the wild pokemon fainted.
The battle wages on!
Broski used Tackle! Broski used Freeze-Dry!

Wahh! The tall creature sent out a smaller creature to fight for it? Not fair. The starly managed to use a quick attack towards the left to dodge out of the way of the oncoming tackle, but the freeze dry was too hard to avoid. The starly tried to fly but was caught mid-flight and forced down, its wings barely able to move thanks to the sheer cold. All it could manage was stare and slowly but surely realize that it was frozen solid.
starly is hit by freeze-dry! starly is frozen solid! starly cannot move!

"Wow Broski, you've never done that before!" Starly was encapsulated in a thick coating of ice, blankly staring in shock. Broski snorted at the praise; Broski wasn't finished bullying the Starly yet. Losing must really be getting to him.
"Freeze-Dry again, and follow up with Tackle to break it free!" Spewing hoarfrost across the Starly once more, Broski expediently scampered to the bird and headbutted the block of ice fiercely, sending it back across the clearing into a boulder some sparse yards back. A few questions came to mind. Did it work? Did it faint yet?
Broski used Freeze-Dry! Broski used Tackle!

In short, it did work. The starly was glad the ice froze the pain and made it dull, and was happy as it slid across the grass, vision slowly fading. If the tall thing wanted to bully him more it would have to find him all the way back here. If it was one of those fable trainers too, in order for a capture the starly would need to be found..
starly is fainted! starly slides away! where is starly?
Fucking pissed off would be one good word to describe her. Like her first born son running away from her home, husband leaving on the same night, and having to fly from petalgurf forest to where the hell in Hoenn this place was in one night sort of pissed. The starvia looked at them human and activated her motherly glare, the kind of intimidation that sent people back shaking. It began cawing in undecipherable pokemon, greating a commotion with her wings. She wanted answers. Fast..
where the fuck is my son you--- furious staravia appears! can trainer dimitri calm her down?

"W-wha... Broski, where'd you put him?!" Dmitri was relishing the first victory his Swinub Broski had finally managed to win that his eyes left the bird as it ragdolled to whatever obscured locale it had found itself in. Expectant eyes surveyed the grass with an annoyed scowl pressing across his face. Where'd it go...? Dmitri couldn't find it in himself to abandon a wild pokemon he'd just fainted, so his pursuit persisted.
That was until the flustered Staravia appeared!
"What, you Momma? I beat him fair and square, you cannot have him back! SHOO!" I didn't go through all that work to be thwarted by some bird! Dmitri flailed his arms towards the Staravia, though he only did it out of instinct; the bird was obviously determined. Perhaps he would need to fight it, in the end.
This Staravia has some nerve.
Broski stood by!

Disgusting human. SHe'd fucking kill it. Eats its flesh, feed it to her child and explain that that was how you dealt with annoying little shits, not using the god forsaken hide and seek method. She dived at the human, planning to go fast and pull its little top-fur a little bit with her talons before flying away and coming back to the same place for a little intimidation, heh.
where the fuck is my son you--- furious staravia appears! staravia wants answers! staravia attempts to pull bad bad dimitri's hair!

"Broski, Freeze-Dry now!" Dmitri lashed out and grabbed for the Staravia messing with his hairdoo. Not cool-ouch! It yanked and tugged at his hair violently, bringing a small tear to his eyes through sheer pain. But eager hands clasped onto its taloned feet and secured it.
Dmitri might not have been a pokemon expert, but he rationally deduced the Freeze-Dry would hit him, too. Hopefully Broski shows me some mercy. It was about to get chilly, but perhaps that would numb the sensation of an angry bird viciously lashing out at a poor trainer trying to catch his first pokemon.
"D-d-do... it-t... *bb-brrrr*... again!" Dmitri shook from the sudden onset of tundra-like temperatures surrounding his head. His thoughts became sluggish and his breath was strained, the hoarfrost nipping at his soft throat tissue. Ch-ch-chill, Broski... Broski seemed to follow the instructions without much delay.
This is slowly becoming the worst wild hunt I've ever had. At least a negative first impression would leave the rest of his adventures slightly more thrilling and enjoyable. Yet the fact this was going downhill so fast displeased Dmitri immensely.
Dmitri secured the Staravia! Broski used Freeze-Dry! x2

You know? If the god damned human had just explained his strange instinct to nurture her son, she probably let him take the problem child and be done with it. Lik she cared about first-borns and stupid blood- the pidgey she adopted was way cooler than her kid. But, no, the uman had to freaking attack her with its ice monster. Fucking savage. She cawed and bit into Dimitri's hand, the whole force of a fully-grown starvia in her beak as she bit, going in for blood. After the grip was loosened, she took to the sky and promptly let loose a large poop she's been holding back since the morning, aiming for Dimitri's head. She cawed menacingly and flew away. If you want my son, find him, sure.
Meanwhile, the bushes rustled, and just as she flew away, she caught sight of her son emerge, cold and frozen, clinging on to life. Let the problem child die.
furious staravia bites into dimitri! staravia flies away! starly is found! capture? another pokemon?

"Ow-ow-ow! FUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuu-..." He groaned and clutched his hand in the other and regretted his decision, though the Staravia seemed to have given up at this point. Why even bother putting up a fight in the first place! Part of him was hoping to defeat the pokemon and catch it instead, since the Starly had disappeared. Speaking of which... He tossed a pokeball at the Starly.
"Gah! That really hurts, Broski. But you look alright, so let's keep searching!" Broski snorted and gave the trainer's wound a huff and licked his wound for good luck. I wonder if he likes the taste? ...Have I been training a killer Swinub all along?! Dmitri was paranoid after being savaged by the Staravia, he felt frantic.
Dmitri caught wild Starly Lvl 5! Broski searched for another wild Pokemon!

Laughter was the best medicine, no doubt, but lately it felt like she had become a drug addict. It was impossible to tell why she was laughing, and she herself had no reason for it. But as the trainer came closer he would be able to hear the incessant howls of laughter, so well practiced that even joy sounded like psychoticness, and the buneary would not have known better. She laughed and laughed, and she turned at made eyecontact with the human and laughed some more, wishing she could stop but quite unable to.

"What is that thing?" He looked at the pokemon and considered catching it, but then figured it would come down to what it even was according to the pokedex. Dmitri scanned it while Broski looked at it confused. Just gimme a sec, pal. Broski snorted with impatience. Dmitri finally found a page on the origins, attributes and habits of wild Buneary.
Doesn't look at all that interesting... Oh well, it's fodder for Swinub at the least. He tucked his cyan pokedex back into his jacket and very delicately nudged Swinub forward with his sneakers. Broski seemed displeased but otherwise scampered forth to challenge the Buneary in battle.
"Try to freeze it solid with your Ice-type attack, Broski." Swinub snorted, as if bored with using the same move over and over, but he dutifully obeyed and sent a wave of coolant towards the interloper. Maybe if it didn't need a stone to get the Fighting-type, I would've kept it... Loppunite was incredibly rare and Dmitri doubted he would ever find such an exotic item. Buneary would be wasted on him.
Maybe if I find another trainer who wants one...? It seemed farfetch'd, to say the least.
Broski used Freeze-Dry! x2

The sudden chill from the icy attack rendered her unable to speak for a while, and forced all her fur to clump together. She hated it, but then she realized- her laughing had stopped! She jumped with glee and launched herself at the Swinub, pounding it in sheer joy. Probably not the best way to go about things, but to someone who laughed like that, not much could be question with proper reason.

"Counter the Pound with Tackle!" Swinub was already being pummeled by the time he made the command, sustaining damage even as he spoke. But he prevailed in sending a well-placed body slam into the Buneary as it exposed itself. But it tired out Broski more than would have been welcomed.
"Freeze-Dry, freeze it solid Broski!" A sharp intake of breath and Swinu lathered the Buneary's locale with the attack. Dmitri shivered from the onset of cold nipping at his nose. I should really bring a jacket when fighting with Broski... He could worry about that later. Buneary seemed primed to launch another attack. It didn't seem to freeze solid as of yet, perhaps its blood ran too hot.
Broski was hit by Pound! Broski repelled Pound with Tackle! Broski used Freeze-Dry!
