"Potions, we have four. That's not a bad number. Shouldn't be too hard to have to avoid using those as much as possible." There was a cheery chirp from behind her head. Violet was currently sitting on a bench just by the entrance for route six. She and Irie were going to go and explore the new route today, but they planned on possibly doing more fighting and pokemon befriending.

"We might be lacking on pokeballs, but I'm certain that we can always find more out and about." They used to find pokeballs that had been dropped when someone flees before. It wasn't common, but it wasn't overly rare either. Some people don't watch their bags when they run away from something. It just meant that her trained eye could find things a little better.

"Alright, I think we are all set. If we have to, we can just come back to town quickly. Shouldn't be too hard to do that." She knew that they were to expect after route six, it connected right to Pine Town, which meant that if they got close, they could always just go into the new town heal up, and come back out. She looked at the rowlet who was resting on the back of the bench.

"You ready Irie?" A happy chirp came as the bird pokemon flapped her wings a few times and was hovering over the bench moments later. This caused Violet to laugh lightly at the pokemon as she nodded and stood up. "Then let's see what it is that we can find today. Are you hoping for battles or more pokemon friends?" There was no answer from the bird pokemon this time, just a quick flight to the beginning of the route.

Irie turned and looked at Violet, as if asking "well, are you coming or not" and it just made the researcher laugh once more before she jogged to catch up to the rowlet. Together, they walked onto route six and started to head to the right, figuring that they could take it one side at a time. With a final check as they walked, she made sure that she had everything, before the pair of them truly started to walk through the area.

The first thing that they hit was a grassy hill, and once she climbed to the top of it, she saw more of the grassy hills just rolling on ahead until they started to get rougher and turn rocky.

She was admiring the view of the route from this little hill. It was interesting on how quickly a route could always change from one kind of terrain to the next. But that wasn't the thing that fully caught her attention. Something ruffled not too far from her, and she looked in the direction. There was an aura, but she couldn't track it. She only saw it when it stood still, and then it was gone. She shrugged and ignored it, looking at Irie.[break]

"Let's go, we have an entire new region to research and get to know." Irie seemed to have her eyes trained on something else though, and that's what worried Violet just a little. "What's there Irie?" Concern and curiosity seemed to pulsate around the rowlet's aura, and that only grabbed Violet's attention more. So she looked in the direction that the bird pokemon was looking, and that was when she saw her.[break]

A beautiful red and yellow-gold Alomomola. She's never seen on this color before, and it was quite the sight. She looked to be around just being hatched too, which meant that the poor thing might be alone. That just wasn't going to do at all. "Irie, I need you to stay back and do not attack. We want to befriend this pokemon okay." It took a few moments before Irie dropped to the ground and just settled there. She was going to settle for watching from behind.[break]

With that potential threat taken care of, Violet turned back to the Alomomola and she slowly walked over to her. "Hey there pretty girl. You're looking a bit lonely, Irie and I would love to be able to bring you on adventures with us, we can get you nice and strong." She stopped a few paces away from the fish pokemon, watching the aura that was around her closely. She was going to watch for signs and emotions of aggression, or even acceptance.[break]

"What do you say pretty lady? Want to join our party and have some fun learning new things?" She didn't move quickly as she pulled a pokeball from her bag, but once an empty one was in her hands, she held it out for the Alomomola to do as she wished, but Violet was hoping that she would go into the ball instead of fight.

Go, PokeBall!

One... two... and...

The Alomomola is wary about being called "pretty girl", but she appears to trust you enough to go back into the ball! Perhaps some additional reassurance is needed to fully get this one on your side?

One Poke ball has been removed from your inventory.

[Violet Argyris]

[attr="class","violetargyris"]

It seemed to take a few moments, and a very wary look when Violet had called her "pretty girl". Violet made that mental note, not wanting to make that mistake again. Calling a pokemon a name that they don't like, isn't the best or fastest way to gain their trust, and she wanted this Alomomola to trust her. She watched as the Alomomola went into the pokeball though and she smiled and looked at Irie. "It looks like we have a new friend Irie. Want to come and say hi?"

The rowlet hooted lightly before she came down to where Violet was. Once she was certain that Irie was settled and not going to attack or anything, she released the Alomomola once more and let the fish get used to not being in the ball once more. In Violet's eyes, to gain the trust that she wanted, she should walk with the pokemon. Of course, that might be a little hard with the fish pokemon, perhaps she could carry her while Irie flew?

That could work. After a few silent moments though, long enough to let the fish get used to not being in that ball, Violet smiled to her. "Alright, I think I figured out that 'pretty girl' isn't something that you like to be called. So I won't call you that anymore, I'll save it for Irie. But, I do think that we should find a name that suits you." She stopped talking for a moment, going through the names in her mind that she thought might work for the pokemon.

Then she thought of one that she liked and she smiled. "Alright, how about we call you Ruby?" Violet liked the name, and it was something that she thought fit the red Alomomola, but was she going to think the same thing?

Violet Argyris Ruby seems to get a better reception from the newly-christened pokemon - at the very least, whatever tension there was in those little fishy fins seems to dissipate in increments, despite being faced with the natural grass-type enemy - and she makes a noise that sounds tentatively content.

She kept her gaze on the red Alomomola, wanting to see how she took to her name. There didn't seem to be any protest to the name, so Violet smiled and nodded lightly, "Then Ruby you shall be called." She noticed that there seemed to be a bit of tension from the fact that Irie had come over, and she laughed lightly. "Don't worry about Irie, she's harmless unless she needs to protect us." That was the truth about the rowlet, she was relatively harmless unless danger came to be too close.

While the three of them were bonding, none had really been paying attention to their surroundings, and that came to bite them in the butt. Well, more in particular, it got Irie stuck in a net and caused the rowlet to freak out. Violet spun around and saw that a kid was poking at her through the net and she walked over to him. "Let Irie go." "Aw, I wanted to catch the rowlet. Fine, but only if you battle me." What in the world would a bug collector want with a grass type pokemon? Either way, she let that thought go and she nodded.

"That's not how this is going to work. Irie, I apologize for this." Violet pulled Irie's pokeball from her bag and she recalled the rowlet, the form disappearing from the kids net. She looked at the boy and she shook her head before sighing. "Go back to catching your bug types kid." She looked at Ruby and started to walk away, hoping that the Alomomola was going to follow her and not try to go for the kid.

A random event has occurred!

What will you do?

Violet Argyris

It looks for a moment like Ruby is heavily debating going after the kid - she's looking at him, anyway, feeling both wary and protective of her new "family" of sorts - but in the end she acquiesces to follow after her new trainer, but not without throwing lingering glances backwards.

It's probably unfortunate that the bug child ran into you when he did, or that there wasn't a battle to be had, because in the next few moments there's a chittering from above and falling from the sky are several little spiders. Hhhrhgh. Spiders.

It's a Horde!

She stopped after a few feet and brought Irie back out of her pokeball, only to notice that Ruby was slowly tagging behind. Through Ruby's aura, she was able to see that the Alomomola was wary and protective at the same time. That was a start in a way. "It's okay Ruby. I don't want you to battle pokemon that are going to really hurt you. I'll get you trained up so that you can protect us, I promise."

Almost as if on queue, she heard something, and then she felt a Surskit hit her head and fall to the ground. She jumped back a few feet and she just stared at the single Surskit multiplied into five. But there was one that caught her immediate attention. "Irie, use Leafage on the large Surskit, not the biggest one though, we want that one." There was a hoot that came from the owl as she used Leafage. It didn't cause the pokemon to faint, but that was okay.

She watched as Bubble was used on Irie from each of the Surskit, only for the rowlet to be able to dodge one of them and barely be damaged from the other four. "Irie, again on that same Surskit." Another pluamge of leaves flew toward the Large surskit, and it soon fainted. That was one down, three more to faint. She looked at Ruby then and smiled. "Ruby, use Hydro Pump on the small female Surskit." The Alomomola immediately obeyed the command.

It didn't do a lot of damage right away, but that was okay. The four remaining Surskit used Bubble once more, only one of them hit Ruby while the other three hit Irie. That was still okay, because the damage was minimal. "Ruby, Hydro Pump on that same Surskit." As Ruby made the "leader" Surskit faint, Violet looked at Irie. "Irie, Leafage on the normal sized Surskit." The plume of leaves hit the Surskit and she immediately fainted. That left them with just two.

"Irie, stand down. Ruby, Hydro Pump on the smallest Surskit." She watched as the Alomomola used the water move, only for it to still do minimal damage. This was going to happen, but she was trying to train Ruby. Ruby was able to dodge the two attacks from the Surskit though, which was a good thing. "Again Ruby, Hydro Pump on the smallest one." The second hit from the Hydro Pump seemed to do the trick, wait no, the Surskit was still standing, but just barely. That was one strong water spider.

This time, the two Surskit used Bubble on Irie, and she braved the two attacks, minimal damage being done again. "One last time Ruby, Hydro Pump on the smallest one." With the third hit of Hydro Pump, the small Surskit fainted, which left just the last one standing. The biggest one of them all. Violet grabbed a pokeball from her bag and she threw it at the final remaining Surskit.

[attr="class","violetargyris"]

She watched the pokeball very carefully as it shook. Irie was beside her, ready to attack the Surskit in case it broke free of the pokeball. But, that didn't happen, the little green light flashed on the pokeball, and the Surskit was safely inside of it. She sighed lightly as she walked over and picked up her new pokemon. "She's going to be named Eytelia, but we are going to leave her in the pokeball for now." She looked at Ruby and smiled lightly, "Good job Ruby, go ahead and rest your fins." With that, she recalled the Alomomola into her own pokeball.

Violet looked at Irie then and scratched her little head. "I'm proud of you too Irie, as always." There was a happy hoot before Violet put the two pokeballs into her bag. She nodded lightly, feeling proud that she was already getting the start of a good team put together, but that didn't entirely matter to her, she was learning that Arciel had their own special forms of pokemon, and they were adorable, if not a bit temperamental at times. Ruby would get used to them so Violet didn't worry too much on that.

She looked at Irie again and she smiled. "Let's see who else we can find today Irie. Who knows, we might even find you another friend to fly with." There was an excited hoot that came to Irie at the sounds of that, and they both started to move forward. Violet was listening to everything, while Irie was just looking around and seemed to be admiring the route as they walked.

Premier Balls x2!

[Violet Argyris]

[attr="class","violetargyris"]

The walk wasn't horrible right now. There didn't seem to be anything else wanting to land on her head or throw themselves at her, so she and Irie just kept walking the route. "What do you think Irie? Are we learning enough or do you think we should go back to town and attempt to start again tomorrow?" She was curious to know if the owl pokemon thought that it would be wise to go and rest up, or if she thought that they should just brave on.

It wasn't like Violet was without potions, but she also didn't want to chance running into the sort of situation where she had all fainted pokemon in case something attacked her and wasn't able to be befriended. But, that could always be something to worry about on a later day. Right now, she just kept walking, this time behind Irie because the pokemon wanted to keep going. That made Violet chuckle a little before she saw a glint on the ground. "Hold on Irie, I see something."

She turned toward the glint and bent over, only to find two premier balls. Those would be useful one day. She smiled as she grabbed the two pokeballs and put them into her bag. "Look at that, two premier balls. What are the chances of us running into a Vulpix to put into them?" She chuckled, knowing that her luck couldn't possibly be that wonderful. That would be something though if it did happen right? Instead of dwelling on the luck she wished she had, she continued to walk, following the flying pokemon who was looking around eagerly, as if trying to find something in particular.
