Chrono darted around, following the scent. It smelled like...yes, it did! He was on her trail now... He had to tread carefully, and he did his best to make his flame smaller for the time being. He couldn't hear her walking around or anything, so maybe she was resting...or waiting to ambush him! He walked even more cautiously, sniffing the air. He pin-pointed the scent to be by a bush...and, peering down, he saw the sleeping form of Banshee. She twitched in her dream, whimpering softly, her wings only half furled. It seemed she was having a nightmare! Her legs started to twitch and move, as if she were running...
Nero jogged after Chrono, having given up calling for him already. Senor, the Caterpie, sat chattering on his shoulder. The short rest had done him some good, though it'd be a while before he could battle. That is, until they reached a poke'center... Luckily, it wasn't long before Nero found the glowing tail light of Chrono.

Nero came up alongside Chrono and made to speak, but Chrono turned toward him and shook his head. Nero smirked, a bit ashamed of himself. Of course Chrono wouldn't run away from him... He looked down, and saw the cause for the quiet... There lay Banshee, asleep! Putting a hand to his shoulder to steady Senor, Nero kneeled down to Banshee's level. Curious, the caterpie inched down along Nero's arm and pertched on Nero's knee. Just then, Banshee opened her eyes and jumped up, growling. She backed up a bit, her wings spreading wide to look intimidating. Who dared to disturb her slumber?? She soon recognized the trio- well, the pair, as she'd never laid eyes on Senor before, and she calmed down a bit, but it was a sad 'calmed down' state... She was caught again.
"Why did you run off?" Nero asked Banshee, offering his hand for her to sniff and realize it was only him. She sniffed the hand, then nipped sharply at it. He drew his hand back, but scowled at her. "I'm not going anywhere, so get used to it!"

 It was dark. So very dark. These woods- the trees seemed to close in on the little creature that made a path through the looming trees. It was small, and its colors blended in with the shadows enough to go unnoticed. But it had heard something... Its long ears twitched as it followed this sound, finally locating the source when she came onto a small path with a human, a bug on his shoulder, a winged Houndour, and a fire lizard. "Vee!" he squeaked, unable to help himself. His bushy tail waved in the air, then hovered over his head. Seeing the others turn toward him, he let out another, this time more challenging, call: "Vee!" |

Nero turned at the first sound of the pokemon. He jumped up, unable to see it clearly in the faint light, but could make out that it was an Eevee. He wanted it. Eevee's were cute, sure, but he was after their power... They could transform into a multitude of beasts, depending on the owner's wish- namely Umbreon. He held a pokeball at the ready, but this thing was full of energy. It would take a battle to be able to catch this one... Chrono stepped up next to him, but Nero shook his head. As he did this, Senor clung for his life upon Nero's arm, squeaking, though he was paid no mind. "I would like Banshee to do the honors for me..." he murmured, looking back at the houndour. It was up to her... would she join him, or refuse him?
Chrono looked back at Banshee as well, stepping aside for her to come up between them and face the attacking pokemon. Banshee looked at Nero, then at Chrono. If this was to be her fate... Well, what harm could it do, to help them out this once? She leapt forward with a growl.

The Eevee cried out again, his fur standing on end. He pawed at the ground slightly in his agitation, then let loose a full fledged sand attack. As if the darkness wasn't enough, now there was sand flying through the air! He waited only a moment before he charged at the Houndour in a tackle. After the attack, he twisted around to try to avoid any blow coming towards it. The fluffy tip of his tail brushed across Banshee's nose, and Eevee was off! He ran in a short circle, coming to a sliding stop where he had been standing, waiting for the pitiful attempt to defend themselves.

Banshee braced herself for the attack. She saw it coming, and she spread her wings for liftoff. Her eyesight in the darkness was much, much better than Nero's or even Charmeleon's. Actually, as she was a dark pokemon, and more nocturnal, she had the best eyesight here! While in the air, she couldn't fly that far, or that fast, due to the trees on either side of her, but she was hoping to rely on surprise. Had the Eevee even noticed her wings? Midair, Banshee changed the simple flight to the attack fly. She had already avoided one of the attacks, and she'd rather get back down on the ground and battle, so she dove at the Eevee.
Nero watched, calmly. He'd been worried about Banshee not taking up his plea for her to fight for him, but she had, and she was doing beautifully. She probably wouldn't listen to him yet, but it was a start... He realized that his arm felt light suddenly- where was Senor Caterpie? He looked all over, and finally noticed the big green bug was on Charmeleon's nose. The Caterpie seemed interested in the huge fire lizard, and Chrono was having fun poking at it with a large claw. He seemed careful, too, like a dinosaur nuzzling her babies.

Eevee wasn't expecting this. He hadn't thought that those wings were for anything other than show! When his attack didn't hit, and he bounde back to his original position, he scowled at the Houndour as best as he could- but the pokemon wasn't there to be scowled at! Where had she gone?? Eevee looked around, and then WHAM! He got hit in the side, and sent flying through the air. Hitting the ground, he rolled a little bit before he hopped up, ready to go again. The attack had knocked the wind out of him, but he was still full of energy. He used the growl attack, and then Helping Hand. Boosted up, he braced himself for the next attack.

Banshee was undaunted by any of these attacks. She may have gotten a chill at the growl- a growl coming from a cute, adorable little Eevee?- but she didn't let it get to her, under her skin. She growled back fiercely, and sucked in her breath, her chest puffing out as she prepared a nasty attack. As she exhaled, ugly gray smokey air came out of the cavern. True, it couldn't be seen in this darkness, but it could be smelled, inhaled, and even tasted... It was poisonous, as well!
Nero turned away from Chrono and Senor to watch the fight, but he was still talking to them. "Pay attention, guys. This is how a battle is fought.... Chrono, I know you're stronger, but you could still pick up a few things..."
Chrono sighed. So Nero still didn't think as highly of him as he did Banshee.... He watched, annoyed, as the battle progressed. Senor cooed on his shoulder, his retreat from the smelly stuff, and nuzzled up against Chrono. The large lizard thrummed at his company, and his tailflame grew brighter.

Eevee didn't see anything different. Its eyes weren't the best at night, and it just looked like the Houndour had belched silently or something. So it started forward, for a tackle attack, and then it smelled it... It blached, and moved backward, trying to wave off this stuff. It stunk! But to no avail; it began to sink into his fur, through his nose, and in his mouth. With a jerk, the pokemon became poisoned. It felt itself slowly being drained of energy, even as it stood there! Enraged, it ignored the weakness, and charged at Houndour again, a tackle that was sure to hit.

Banshee, thinking the smog attack had knocked the pokemon out or something, was hit full force by the tackle. "Houuuunnnd!" she cried out, falling to the ground by the force of the blow. She hopped back up, and stared down at the Eevee, growling. This staring contest would only be broken when Nero called out, "Use ember!" Banshee's ears twitched, and she debated. Listen to her owner, or wing it, and deliberately disobey him? She only took a few moments, and she decided to...obey! She let out a firey blast, weak as far as fire attacks go, but strong compared to what the Eevee could do!
Chrono stood, agast. The Houndour could do fire attacks before he could? That was so not fair! His flame seemed to shrink as he watched, though the flame of jealousy roared brightly in his eyes. Senor seemed to notice this, and, cooing, ran as fast as he could back to Nero, and leapt onto Nero's arm, not stopping his mad trek until he was seated on Nero's head.

The flame came towards the Eevee, who couldn't see for the mutedness that smog gives off. It managed to dodge most of the attack by a stroke of luck, but his paw was caught in the flame. With a squeak, it jerked back, but its paw was singed...great, now it was poisoned and burned, and weakened! Nero had better hurry and catch this pokemon before it fainted and disappeared! The Eevee staggered about, looking slightly dazed in this condition.

Banshee was about to finish the pokemon off. She leapt at it, meaning to do a close-range ember attack or something, but Nero was faster. He pulled out one of his pair of pokeballs left, and threw it at the Eevee. Luckily, the ball made it there before Banshee did, and it enclosed the Eevee in red light. Nero waited, bracing himself. That Eevee was a fighter, he'd give it that... but he had to be done for, this ball had to stay shut!

The pokeball hit Eevee, and the red light surrounded him, quickly enveloping him into the tiny cramped space. But Eevee would not give up! He fought and fought, shaking the ball four times before it finally broke free. Aww, so close! It stood, legs spread to brace up its miniscule weight, panting hard from the effort. His ears laid back against his head, and his eyes remained locked on the trainer and his pokemon. But...it was about to faint again, and it seemed to swoon.

Nero scowled when the pokeball burst back open. That was a wasted pokeball! He waited a few seconds, letting the poison and the burn attack the Eevee on their own, and then he threw a second pokeball, his last one. This one had better keep that Eevee inside it... He would be so angry if it didn't! He held his breath as the ball closed around the pokemon, and wiggled once... Would it stop after that?
Banshee sat on the sidelines, feeling proud of herself. Nero seemed happy- or at least, she took it as happy, and maybe she would get a treat. If she didn't- well, that would teach her to obey him! She hardly even realized that Chrono was still there.... The lizard pokemon hadcome up to stand beside her, and try to congratulate her on a job well done. It was a nice battle, after all... But she didn't seem to want to make friends! Chrono scowled, and 'hmphed' at her.

This time, the ball held him. He couldn't struggle anymore, and had Nero waited a few moments longer, he would have been useless to him... But now, he was in the time-stopping pokeball, and would hold out until they reached the pokecenter. He didn't even attempt to get out, but just lay there, and slept... Ah, sweet, sweet darkness....

Nero picked up the ball, pleased. He pocketed it; the Eevee was too weak now to be of any help if he let it out to keep the others company. He had to get to a pokecenter, and fast... He started walking, making sure his other pokemon were following him as well.
Chrono was the first to start off after him, and kept right at his side. He wanted to be the one to fight next time, and he swore he would stop at nothing to do it. Especially since Banshee didn't seem to want to be friends...
Banshee walked on, after some hesitation. After this, she would be Nero's pokemon...did she want it? She found herself unable to say no... already, there was a sense of security that she had been missing, and a new sense of adventure... yes, she would be alright being with Nero after all....
Senor had fallen asleep on Nero's shoulder, and after he almost fell off once, the human pulled out the corresponding pokeball- how he knew the difference, not even Nero could tell you- and let Senor have a rest as well. They were at the city!
