I think we're lost...

[~Skye~]

Skye walked into the forest from her position at route one. Fritter followed and her newly caught vulpix resided in her pocket.
"This place is huge..." she muttered in awe.
<Yeah.... But can we hurry up, I want to train!> Fritter replied impatiently.
So they walked.
And walked.
And walked even more.
Eventually they came to a clearing in the forest, and the two sat down on a large rock.
"I think we're lost..." Skye uttered unsurely.
She released Flicker from the pokeball in her hand, and stuck the empty ball in her belt.
"I think we're lost as well..."

[Nishrocks]

A clicking noise could be heard. All around them, it closed in around Skye. It suddenly got very, very dark.
*clickclickclickclick*
A pair of eyes, of a heliatrope hue were visible through the shaded tree trunks.

[~Skye~]

"This is not good...." Flicker said, partially terrified though partially calm.
<Why are you so calm then?> Fritter asked in interest.
It was apparent the two weren't too fond of one another.
"Well because I lived in this forest. I'm nervous because there could be something frightening in the bushes around." the vulpix replied intelligently in human.
"So should we be scared then..?" Skye asked the quarreling pokemon.
"Yes, very scared." Flicker replied simply.
The three looked at each other.
Moments later a great shouts screams and shrieks were heard.

((OOC: This is a great time for a first meeting with Skye, as it ended up.))

[Hamboy]

A cry was heard.
SCREEEEE!
A group of three Zubats flew out of the surrounding bushes, and swarmed around Skye and company.

[~Skye~]

Skye and Fritter cowered to a position between the rock and a bush. Flicker stayed out, singing the zubats with embers and attempting to bring them down, or at least drive them off.
"You disgusting bats..."

[Hamboy]

One of the three Zubat took the brunt of the attack, and was driven away. However the other two managed to latch on and bite Flicker. They were using Leech Life, attempting to steal her health.

[~Skye~]

Flicker cried in pain, she may have been intelligent but she still experienced emotions. Fritter couldn't take it either, hauling herself out from her hiding position to attempt to hit the zubats with a thunder wave.

[Hamboy]

The Thunder Wave paralysed one of the Zubats. However, the third continued to latch on defiantly, sucking at Flickers life force.

[~Skye~]

The vulpix was losing strength, and fast. Her embers were dying down to a pitiful red, and a pale one at that.
Fritter looked at the remaining zubat that was clinging to Flicker's fur. She leapt into that direction and attempted a wrap on the "villain".

[Hamboy]

Catching the small Bat-like Pokemon in wrap was difficult, and it managed to wriggle free quickly. However, it had released its grip on Flicker, and now flew above the two Pokemon, awaiting their next move.

[~Skye~]

Flicker stood up, but collapsed in the effort-tired but still conscious. Fritter thought a moment and shot a thunder wave in it's direction.

[Hamboy]

The Thunderwave partially Paralysed Zubat, but it continued to crawl toward Flicker, hoping for another bite.

[~Skye~]

Flicker managed to drag herself to a fighting stance, though she was lying down. The vulpix narrowed her eyes, before releasing a fiery ember.

[Hamboy]

The attack finished the Zubat off. If Skye wanted to catch the Pokemon, she could.

[~Skye~]

The trainer stepped out from her position.
A remaining zubat lay on the ground.
It disgusted her, but she took another look at it.
Any addition to the team was needed, and he couldn't be all bad... Could he?
She took a pokeball from her belt and threw it at the zubat, as well as taking a potion and spraying it on Flicker.

[~Skye~]

((ooc: not to mention that Fritter likes Flicker a bit more... if it's possible between that rivalry))

Skye held the still warm ball containing the zubat, Crimson, as she turned to look back at the forest. Flicker had recovered from the potion, and Fritter had barely been harmed.
"We may have gained a member, but we're still lost." Skye sighed.
Crimson made a ruckus in his pokeball, so she let him out.
The zubat started flying away.
"Or maybe we aren't lost..."
The 3 chased the pokemon out of the forest...
