Fiery Energy clashing with Timidity

First topic message reminder :

Sosio: {34 - 11}

Sosio swirled about in the sky, practicing a new idea she invented. She kept her flame sac burning, but she didn't use it for speed. Instead, she held a burning ember in her beak that left streams of smoke in her path. For now, she was just making pretty swirls, standing out against the usually-blue sky. Today, however, was a little overcast and windy, so it was best she didn't stay in flight for too long.

Landing on a stepping stone, she looked into the entrance of the dungeon she had been to so many times. She almost thought of herself as "queen" of the dungeon after she discovered it, but there would have to be a lot of effort put into journeying and training before she could even think of living there. In fact, by the time she had the chance to, she would most likely be fully-evolved.

In spite of that, she loved coming back here as much as possible, and bounced happily towards the entrance. She knew many secrets of this place, and was chipper at the thought of maybe one day being able to escort Pokemon through, give them a tour, which she could do after she settled there. She gazed at the foliage that was similarly-colored to her feathers. It was as if it were destiny... To have discovered such a wondrous place.

Clara {3}
Clara looked at the pokemon with a frown, "I, I can't battle." she stated after the pokemon said that she sometimes chickens out of battles. Then the fletchinder asked her what her name was and what kind of pokemon she was. She was a bit surprised to hear she didn't know what kind of pokemon she was though.

"My, My name is Clara.. I am a ralts." she said softly to the pokemon. She was clearly still a bit shy. She looked around for a moment as she sensed another pokemon nearby, this time it felt, not as hostile as the other ones, however she couldn't entirely tell as it wasn't close enough yet.

Sosio: {12 - 9 = 3 + 1 (page) = 4}

What the timid Pokemon said brought shock to the bird.
"What do you mean you can't battle? I saw you use some pretty fancy teleportation, so that's a battle skill, isn't it?" Sosio was unsure whether this meant the Pokemon knew no offensive moves, could only ever learn defensive moves, or had no abilities whatsoever. The last one would be untrue, since she could clearly transport by ways not most others could.

The Ralts introduced herself, which pleased Sosio to finally know what her name was.
"Well, Clara? You ready to explore?"
Just as she asked and smiled, wingbeats neared the two of them, a huge moth coming to attack. When the Fletchinder was interrupted and looked up to see the large winged insect, Sosio let out the most squeamish scream, high pitched and all, and let out the fury of a flail on the Dustox.

Clara
Clara looked at the pokemon for a moment, "What, my shadow sneaking abilities? I, I didn't think it was." she said to Sosio. Sosio then asked if she was ready to explore. Clara took a moment to think if she really wanted to go into the dungeon, learning that there can be some pokemon in their that were this hostile. Before she made a decision though, a winged insect like pokemon came in and the bird started flailing at it.

Clara just stayed away from the insect as Sosio seemed to be handling it. She really didn't know how to fight. It wasn't something she did often at all. She has always avoided pokemon.

Sosio: {4}

Sosio grew even more confused at what Clara claimed.
"Well, don't get me wrong, but 'Shadow Sneak' sure sounds like a move, and a lot of abilities can be used as attacks."
There were some very strange abilities indeed. It was only normal that Pokemon had battles with each of their different abilities, but never did she know of a Pokemon that couldn't.

In Sosio's flailing, she continued to scream, whipping around every part of herself that she could, scratching at the bug, slapping it, pecking it, whatever could stop it. Once the bug was weakened and the bird was exhausted, her beak began to glow an orange inside, exploding outwards was a stream of glowing embers that launched the moth backwards and away from her. Smoke streamed out of the birds nostrils and from the corners of her mouth. She meant business with the bug-types.

Clara {3}
Clara got a sense that Sosio really, really hated bug pokemon. Like seriously hated them. "Uh, everything fine?" she asked after the pokemon fell to the ground burned to a crisp. Clara had been a little shocked to see how much the ember pokemon dished out on the other one.

She actually felt a little bad for it at the moment, it didn't even look like it laid a single hit on anything.
She then began to respond about the ability shadow sneak. "I, only know how to use it to get around. I, I don't know how to use it in combat..

Sosio: {4}

Sosio gasped for air, quite tired from using up so much energy in one blow.
"grrrr.... so... scary..." she panted. Catching up with her breath, the Fletchinder returned to normal. "See. Scary bugs. I don't like them, they freak me out."
She might not have been making sense due to her exhaustion possibly affecting her brain.

Sosio gradually began to understand Clara's kerfuffle.
"Oh, there are lots of moves like that. An old forest friend of mine knew fly. It's a natural ability, and the move only put her in the air, but she had to put in more than that to attack. She would fly into the air, then ambush from the sky. Maybe that's what it's like for you. You have to ambush from the shadows."
The bird sincerely hoped she helped. It's dangerous to go about with no knowledge on battling.

Clara {3}
Clara looked at the bird, she sighed but nodded to show she understood. The fact is though, she really doesn't know how to use the move to attack. What could she possibly do while in a shadow. It didn't quite make sense to her. She did indeed understand that she had to ambush them, but still. What does she do to hurt them.

Clara felt even worse now that the pokemon might believe she could fight. This was possibly visible as she seemed to have a very faint frown. Being so used to avoiding pokemon, she has no fighting experience.

Sosio: {4 + 15 = 19}

Sosio ducked her head low, and looked at the Pokemon with a look almost like shame. Clara said nothing more, and Sosio didn't feel like talking for once. She felt like suggesting making a camp, but it wasn't late. She would've suggested finding food, but she actually wasn't hungry. She was bored, and with boredom came the need to eat.

At that, she pulled out a Sitrus Berry and popped the juicy fruit into her mouth. She honestly felt bad for the Ralts' situation, but the fledgling was honestly no expert. If she were even halfway smarter, she would at least try to help her use a move. There was nothing Sosio could do to help, sadly.

Clara {3}

Clara saw Sosio now had an upset look on her face. "It, It isn't your fault." she said to the bird, guessing she must of noticed signs of her own depression over the topic. "I, I am used to avoiding pokemon." she said as she turned to look back out to the lake. She didn't want to have Sosio see her being more upset.

Sosio: {19}

Sosio turned to the smaller Pokemon with a look of concern in her eyes. It was true that it wasn't the bird's fault, but Clara was really taking a hit.
"It's stupid, really, that I decided to light a fire, risking our... Us being attacked. I just really wanted to be friends with you," she admitted tenderheartedly. She may have been a goofy little nugget at times, but with evolution seemed to come a sort of maturation. Although she was still deathly afraid of bug-types, she was much less likely to dash behind some'mon else for shelter.

Taking some charge, the Fletchinder made another mature decision.
"We'd best get out of here before other Pokemon come from seeing the fire."
She got up onto her stilt legs, brushed her wings in a jolt on her side, and stared at the directions they could go. She obviously wanted to go deeper into the forest, but the timid Ralts probably wanted to go somewhere safer. Whichever worked best, Sosio would agree with.

Clara {3}
Clara stood still for a moment, "Fr-friends?" she said slightly startled by the response. She didn't quite know how to respond to it. She remained still for a moment, trying to understand how to respond. "I, um.. We are friends? I think?" Clara said, it was clear she hasn't been told this before, she didn't know to respond properly. However she hadn't been given a chance to respond further as she noticed a bright bluish white flame came straight at her. She shouted as it came towards her, then immediately her image flickered as the flame hit the image and she disappeared.

It had seemed she left a copy of herself there due to her speed ^{Double Team}, She appeared right next to Sosio on her opposite side. "Did, did I just?" she said as she was startled by how fast she moved. Out of the bushes where the flame came, was a Phantump, upon another bush a Cascoon came out also.

Sosio: {19}

Sosio nodded at Clara's stuttering question.
"I try to make friends with everyone I meet--and if you consider me a friend, then that's something I accomplished happily!" she started seriously, then ended with a huge grin. It seemed she made a new friend without realizing. She loved friends, because they were someone to converse and meet with, stand up for, and be by their side forever. Clara needed a loyal friendship more than anything, it seemed, and Sosio would gladly take that place.

With a moment of shared happiness, it seemed that the Ralts teleported to the Fletchinder's side, and yet... She was still in front of Sosio?
"No way... Double Team..." Sosio muttered in awe.
And to their luck, two more Pokemon decided to ambush them at a meaningful moment. Growling, the bird launched a hasty and angry Ember at the Pokemon who were both weak to fire. A burn inflicted the bug type, as it grew suddenly angry, and the moment before it fainted from burning, it shot a Poison Needle at the enemy bird, causing her to become flushed and weak from poisoning. The situation was becoming grave, as the Phantump was still capable of attacking, but Sosio was weakened to the point where she barely could. If she only had the strength to get the Pecha Berry from her bag...

Clara {3}
Clara noticed the poisonous barb strike Sosio and started to panic slightly. She then noticed sosio's bag nearby, She knew that Sosio must be quickly losing her strength from the poison. Without thinking, something took over and she vanished and appeared next to the bag and searched for something of use, spotting a pecha berry she quickly brought it to Sosio. Leaving a trail of copies behind her. ^{Double Team} ((OOC: She needs to learn how to control that... haha)).

She saw the copies of herself and thought for a moment. "Please eat this! I got it from your bag..  I, think I got an idea." she said as she left copies of herself as she went around the phantump in circles. Leaving multiple copies of herself around it.

She wasn't exactly attacking them, more like running around in circles so fast, it left them seeing multiple of each person. Leaving it a bit confused.

Sosio: {19}

Before the poisoned fire-type could think, Clara was able to navigate the poison-curing berry from the bird's bag and give it to her. Weakly, she leaned forward and took it with her beak, ingesting the berry and regaining strength. With this, she evaded the several copies of Clara that surrounded the ghost by flying over and charging in for a Peck to finish of the confused haunted stump. Relieved, she turned and smiled to her newest friend, who may as well saved Sosio's life.
"Thank you... so much!" she gasped, the purple shading in her cheeks eventually fading away, leaving no evidence of poisoning.

[b]Clara {3}
Clara stopped producing copies of herself when the pokemon fainted from Sosio's attack. Sosio then began thanking her for her assistance. Clara looked at sosio and then turned away, "I, um. You, you are welcome." clara managed to udder out. She had a slight smile on her face. She was very happy to have helped out in some way. Even made her feel better too. "So, can we go see the forest?" she asked the ember pokemon. She really wanted to see the beauty of the forest.
