Pokemon United

it was fairly recent since the Time Umbrie followed her Espeon through the Blue Moon Ruins of Syrrus. a pale girl with long black hair and deep blue eyes rose from a pile of hay with a Rather Oddly Colored Espeon.

the Espeon Outside of the Ball had a Teal Coat with a Metallic Sheen, the coat nearly Matching the Teal and Black Dress of the Trainer. the girl nervously examined her new Territory. her Espeon Perking up out of Curiosity as it Led her along a Row of Ponyta's. she had never seen Ponyta of this color before. the ones back home had a White Flame Coloration and this was her first time seeing a red flame Ponyta.

well, she was Neither in Blue Moon Ruins or Syrrus League Anymore. the colors of the Ponyta were enough of a Clue. as the small statured girl of 155 centimeters walked around, a weight of only 43 kilograms. she peered around, keeping a fair watch of the Area around her.

some kind of Farming town. where she came from, one could Drink thier first Alcoholic beverage as soon as they got thier Pokedex on thier thirteenth birthday. not that she was an addict, but she came from a region famous for Lavish Parties and Massive Feasts with Drinking and Dancing. the Syrrus Region, she was quite accustomed to the smells of Various Grain Farms, so the stench didn't bother her too much.

maybe they might offer hospitality the girl thought to herself as she wandered hungry with her hungry Espeon that failed to catch a Bunnelby for her meal. the Espeon enjoyed the taste of a Bunnelby cooked over an open flame or really most forms of meat and dairy, being a predator and a consumer. even if it ate anything. in fact, the teal 2 tailed quadraped was so hungry it stared longingly at some potato plants.

Umbrie allowed the Ponyta to sniff her hand while her Espeon gave the potatoes a longing gaze, it would normally have tried to steal one and hide in a bail of hay for a handful of hours, but she was clever enough to piece together that she was in a new world and likely the only Espeon with her coloration here, so the Sun kissed Vulpine turned to the Farmhands, hungry and putting up a rather canine begging gesture.

Umbrie herself wasn't one to dismiss the farmers. "i was in some Ruins, my Partner Dawn was Tracking a Bunnelby as a meal, and it led us into a Bunnelby hole, there was a flash of light, a fade to black, and i ended up in a bail of Hay missing most of my stuff." it seemed her accent was quite high pitched and quite cheery. she sounded more like someone who came from a fancy central trade city where contests were held alongside parties and feasts. not that she herself would be wealthy, but she came from a wealthy area. and Dawn was clearly a reference to her Espeon. likely a reference to the time it evolved.

"my home Town is called Pinot Noir, and is a major staple of the Syrrus Region. the trainers there usually cosplay, do pokemon theatre and it is a huge contest center. the Gym is also the contest hall. after beating the leader and heading to the Blue Moon Ruins to do some further high risk training and eventually hunting Bunnelbys and Ratattas for food in an area loaded with Powerful Diggersbys and Raticates, i ended up here."

as the Strawberry coated Vulpix was petted, the Metallic Teal Coated Espeon also did some desparate begging. Umbrie gestured to the Espeon, "this is Dawn" then she gestured to the Vulpix. "This is Strawberry." she followed the farmers and headed in their general direction as she talked with them, describing things.

"Cosplay is a form of acting you do in the costume of the character you are pretending to be and is a huge part of pokemon Theatre. Trainers and pokemon wear costumes and do plays with music in the background." Umbrie did her best to explain,

"since i just got here and haven't much to spare let alone a place to stay, is anyone willing to provide a room until i learn enough about the surrounding area to adventure in a world i never experienced?"

Umbrie nodded and smiled as she stepped inside and enjoyed lunch. her Espeon really enjoyed some of the strips of meat she gave her. Dawn cheered like a good teal coated sun Pokemon.

as Umbrie drank milk with her meal. she smiled and giggled. letting Srawberry try some of the berry salad. making the vulpix cheer.


the trio filled up rather quickly and headed to the bedroom to nap for a bit. Umbrie cuddled her two mammilian pokemon. they hoped to stay here for at least 2 hours.

as Umbrie awakened at the end of what was supposed to be a two hour nap turned into a three hour one. she accepted the fresh change of clothes, the potions and the pokeballs quite happily. searching around for a card of some kind to write a simple thank you note on. with the acceptance of the packed meal to save for the road.

a simple note, "thank you for your hospitality. i hope to enjoy it should i return. i intend to explore the world and learn about the new world where i am today. i promise to eventually return with at least a mark of my growth in some form, possibly a gym badge or a third pokemon."

it seemed the girl had a specific goal, to learn about the new world before her, to hopefully establish a foothold and become one with the populace. learning piecemeal. one step at a time.

Umbrie would continue her way down the road, heading south towards the mountain to find a clue about the new world or at least another town or even some new adventuring friends. she liked to learn new things and was quite the information sponge. hoping to avoid extremely suicidal encounters and instead look for new companions she had a chance of capturing or at least persuading with minimal risk. maybe a cute new companion would be on its way.

the girl gave a smile and a giggle, speaking once more, "Dawn, Strawberry? you ready to seek some new friends?"

"Helloesies" the girl greeted as her entrance into the mountain was interrupted, she was brave but not foolish.

"i guess i should wait a bit while you fix the lights." Umbrie did her best to answer the question. "Strawberry, is a wonderful source of light but i wouldn't desire to leave her vulnerable in the darkness." the girl was gesturing to her extradimensional strawberry coated vulpix, that had the ability to create artificial sunlight like most others.

"since you seem to be eating and seem to have a place to rest, is it okay if i rest under the supervision of the staff here?"

"i'd be willing. Strawberry could serve as a Light Source and Dawn could help clear the rubble with her mind, would that help?" Umbrie curiously asked, knowing that she herself wasn't very strong, but she had a fire type with drought and a psychic type.

"i might not be able to do much with a pick, but i will do what i can to help, but i did earn 3 badges back home before i fell down that bunnelby hole, even if they are useless trinkets here."

though not very strong herself, while Strawberry dig some digging and Dawn moved stuff with her mind, Umbrie herself joined in with a borrowed pick, watching the effort her pokemon went through and seeking to emulate it, following the Wisdom of Pinot Noir Gym Leader Madison Tailor from back home. "Pokemon perform best alongside thier trainers. Madison would do this too. i must learn this."

"Thankies." Umbrie happily cheered with a playful smile. giggling some more. "i could use a meal and some Sleep before i continue on. is the offer for Accomodations still Valid?" the innocent small girl was quite cheerful as a front to her fatigue.

Umbrie was quite willing to rest on the bedroll. she slept peacefully after a slight bit of adjusting to the roughness. but first, the leftover sandwiches were yummy. her first time enjoying Barbecued Tauros steak sandwiches in a long time. she seemed to have a smile of innocent glee both while eating and while sleeping.

Umbrie gave an innocent smile as she looked to her two pokemon. "Dawn? Strawberry? Ready to enter the Cave together after Breakfast? i'm sure we can find something." well, before they left, it would be time for early morning foraging. well, searching for food to eat before they left, hopefully without having to steal from the miners without permission.

some berries, some crops. something not illegal but also not dangerous. the girl was hungry and she didn't want her pokemon to starve. time to get back into hunting like she did in the blue moon ruins back home. just an Ametuer skill.

examining the berries, Umbrie tried to discern the exact type. having done a bit of exploration back home. first, she took a light sniff of the berries to determine whether or not they were safe for consumption, refusing to risk her two companions though she couldn't resist the urge to take a chance to try to add a single oddish to her team later after breakfast.

Umbrie would queitly sneak after feeding the berries to herself and her pokemon partners. she would with her team on a full stomach, seeking a wild oddish to capture. targeting one that didn't expect her, preferably a lone one. she wanted a cute lil oddish to add to her team. so with strawberry leading dawn. Umbrie smiled after her meal. "lets catch an Oddish. okies."

Umbrie sent Strawberry, her strawberry coated Vulpix to start the battle. well, Strawberry needed some experience. "you can do it strawberry, use ember and weaken that Oddish and proceed to defend with a shield of heated air. if we dodge we might draw the attention of more than we can handle."

the strawberry coated fox, glowing like a candle, opened its snout as it bounced forward with its mobility, generating a shield of hot air around herself as she heat itself would be used to try to fatigue the oddish without knocking it out.

"Strawberry, propel your ember into the fruit and use the Trees as cover." Umbrie cheered to her Vulpix, the strawberry coated fox repositioning herself behind a tree as she exhaled a puff of fire into the oddish. fire being super effective against grass. trying not to kill it, just weaken it the Vulpix was lucky to not be hit but it still had vigor and should the Attack Hit, Umbrie would throw a Pokeball as a readied reaction action afterwards

Strawberry 10/10 HP

Umbrie saw that the Oddish soaked the hit, so she decided to not throw the ball yet at the last moment. "Strawberry, one more ember, this time, dance around behind it and give a Surprise Ember." she gave her command, the Completely unharmed Vulpix who darted around the trees to a vantage point to breath another puff of fire. luckily Ember was a Spammable Move.

Strawberry 10/10 HP.

Strawberry took her first nick from the not very effective attack (8/10HP) but with a Spontaneous Huffing of Flame, trying her best to weaken the Oddish, Umbrie was ready to throw the pokeball after her Vulpixes next attack.

Target Roll because i forgot it

Umbrie kept her pokeball in hand unable to throw it. "strawberry, if you sniff the oddish. you can please help me track other oddishes can you not?" she was unsure, but she wanted to search for another oddish. Dawn currently resting in her pokeball while Strawberry helped Umbrie track the movement of the oddishes to find another. Umbrie kept watch of Tracks while Strawbery sniffed around.
