Mila couldn’t help the little dance she did as she got closer and closer to the Legendary Shrine. Q and the unnamed Ducklett were resting up in their pokeballs and so were the Lillipup and Vulpix they’d met along the way on the edge of town. Her team was growing day by day and she couldn’t be happier with who she’d found so far. They were all earnest and had a lot to learn - and so did she, so they were all a perfect match. Her eggs were getting more and more active by the day and she couldn’t wait to meet them too and raise the newborns to be the best pokes they could be - and the motherly vulpix was going to come in handy at this monumental task as well.
For someone who only a month ago - had it really been that long? - had been told by her grandfather that she couldn’t run a farm by herself well...she had to say the road so far had been a bit of a bumpy one and she made it through the first Route in one piece. How hard could it be from here on? Sure, she hadn’t been in a single real battle yet….but..she was sure at least one of her team members could hold their own.
She was excited to see what they were made of - after all she’d never battled anyone period not just on the route. A wild pokemon could be unpredictable - she thought maybe she’d lucked out with just talking to the others so far. The interaction with the two water bugs had been an interesting one...one she’d extracted herself from quickly once she realized it was nothing but drama that she didn’t feel inclined to get entangled much more into. Not to mention Q had been getting more and more nervous, thinking they were being set up for a trap or ambush. They would have to work on her anxious nature for her own sake, if not for the sake of the team.
Mila pulled an apple out of a side pocket on her bag and took a hair-raising crunchy bite out of it, walking and wondering and looking at the layout of the village called Ara. The climate reminded her of home and she couldn’t help but to feel a strange mix of comfort and unrest at that comparison. The fact that it was so heavily forested, however, only cemented the fact that it wouldn’t be the place to put down roots and start her breeding practice. Of course she had a great many more places to see, people to meet, pokemon to learn about - but it didn’t hurt to plan ahead and plan early.
As she drew nearer to where the locals had told her the shrine could be found she slipped her bag from her shoulders and picked up the balls for Lillipup and Ducklett. She really needed to come up with some names for them, and released them to stretch their legs and get to know them a little better. ”Mornin’, fellers!” she greeted them, dropping their balls back into the bag and securing it back into place before taking a few more strides forward, expecting them to follow.
Ducklett picked up on it quickly, waddling along behind her. Lillipup got distracted by a leaf on the breeze and began to chase it down in the opposite direction. Mila turned and grumbled, pulling another ball from her bag to release the Vulpix she’d met only moments before finding the Lillipup, ”Kyerr ta herd ‘im back?”
< Some Herdier he’ll grow up to be. > Ducklett commented, crossing his wings sternly. < Oh hush, grumpy, he’s still just a baby. > Vulpix chastised, already in mommy mode, before she took off running after Lillipup and after a moment or two of conversation had him running back with wide eyes. < Are we really gonna meet LEGENDARIES? > he asked, quivering with a combination of excitement and terror.
”Uhhh...naw..but we’ll git to pray ta ‘em. Be thenkin’ a what ya’d like ta ask fer.” she said, shrugging. She’d honestly never done anything like this herself but she figured that’s what the idea was. Drop a few coins in and say a little something. But they had to get there first. As they walked she began to ruminate on nicknames.

Mila turned down an alleyway, thinking it would be a shortcut only to find a deadend. Maybe that person had said they were supposed to turn at the next alley. Her trio of pokemon were following right behind her and as she turned to walk back out she very nearly tripped over them. Lillipup gave a little yelp, and she cried out, ”Jumpin Jameson!” an expression her papaw used to use and she laughed as it came up for her at this random moment, ”That’d be a good name for you, ya little turd.” she said, crouching and giving him a scratch behind the ear. Suddenly she felt a pounding migraine come on and squinted her eyes against what little light shone into the alley, slumping against the brick wall and sliding down to sit on the ground. ”Woah man, fuck…” she muttered, covering her face with one hand as Jameson whined and licked the other she’d been petting him with.
Vulpix stepped up to take charge, fretting over the sick trainer and looking around to be sure there wasn’t anything toxic nearby to cause the symptoms. She remembered a particularly nasty outbreak of arcanine influenza rendering half her family unconscious for days while they recovered. The source had turned out to be an improperly disposed of hazardous materials bag from a pokecenter in one of the big cities. The pokecenter itself hadn’t been at fault so much as the waste management facility letting it topple out of one of their trucks into the stream they all drank from. It had been an absolute mess to overcome. So she was always on the lookout for such things. < Pup, let’s get you back in your ball, hm. > she said softly, figuring his whining wasn’t helping the situation and he would just be one more baby to worry about. She opened up Mila’s backpack to nudge his ball into the girl’s hand so she could return him. Jameson disappeared in a flash that only made the breeder groan more.
Ducklett felt a twinge of a headache coming on himself, but pressed through it to look through Mila’s bag for some medicine. He’d seen her take something for a headache before, maybe she needed more of it now. < It came on so suddenly...even I feel ill. Don’t you? > he murmured to Vulpix, his beak barely opening as he spoke. It was then that she felt it as well. It definitely wasn’t just Mila then. < It’s environmental….something else is causing it. > she responded with a nod, closing the bag back up. Medicine wouldn’t help. They had to find the source, just as before.
It was then Ducklett was hit with a wave of confusion, little mini duckletts swirling in his vision as he waddled in circles. ”What the fuck...be...be careful.” Mila said through grit teeth, peeking at the scene through her fingers before slamming them shut again. Vulpix’s eyes squinched closed as the headache grew more painful for her and she couldn’t figure out what was happening. Maybe it was another Pokemon nearby causing this to happen? < Maybe the legendaries don’t want us to go to the shrine? > she ventured, grasping at straws for an answer, as she’d never experienced anything like this. Surely only legendaries could inflict such torment.
< Legendaries! Pah! Myths! Hogwash! Foolish fancy! > a disembodied voice replied, echoing from a stack of trashcans nearby. < I bet you believe your wishes will be granted at that stupid shrine too! > the voice taunted, a high pitched cackle making their headaches intensify that much more. Mila slumped fully to the ground, incapacitated at this point. Vulpix released a crackle of embers from her mouth in volatile anger at whoever was teasing them like this, whoever was harming her new trainer. A scream of terror bounced back out as one of the cans toppled over and out tumbled a small grey creature, batting at the flames on a newspaper clinging to his stumpy leg. He turned on Vulpix and released a puny growl. Vulpix shrugged it off, feeling a little less powerful but not intimidated in the least. If nothing else she found it endearing as the little weirdo seemed to just be lashing out with whatever his abilities were. She’d never seen a creature like it so it must be lonely being so rare. And he was definitely alone here.
Ducklett snapped out of his confusion when the Elgyem was panicked from the flames and lost its control on him and even Mila seemed to come to a bit. Apparently its psychic powers were lifted when it was distracted. Ducklett saw the doe-eyed look Vulpix was giving the creature and groaned, shoving her aside, < We’re not keeping it! > he quacked, knowing she wanted to be everything’s mama. More of the flames burned in the trash causing smoke to drift up around them. He released a dousing water gun, blasting the creature back into the trash can but extinguishing the embers as well.
Elgyem crawled back out, looking between the duck and the fox and figuring he had one shot at getting out of here without pissing them off more - it was definitely weird to see a fire and water pokemon working together so well. If he had to go with them to split them up, to cause chaos, to keep them from reaching the shrine and continuing the worship of false idols and idiotic religious practices then so be it. He played to the Vulpix’s obvious matronly side pouting and letting his big glowing eyes water up, < I’m sorry! I don’t know why I did that - sometimes I just get confused and angry! > he pouted, laying it on thick. Vulpix cooed, walking up to it as Mila came fully out of it. Ducklett quacked again, < No, no way! Nuh-uh! He’s a psycho! > Vulpix shushed and cooed some more, patting the alien on his back and ushering him towards Mila, < If he wanted to really hurt us and keep hurting us he would have, isn’t that right? He’s capable of it, we saw that before. Come on, now, everyone deserves a second chance. >
Elgyem smiled at Mila as she looked around her at the smoldering sopping wet trash and the weird creature in front of her now. Ducklett looked pissed and Vulpix looked like she always did, ”Did...did we battle?” she asked, her eyes still half-closed but the migraine gone entirely even if she still felt weak and queasy from it. < Yes ma’am! And these two really bested me! I’d love to come with you and learn more from them! > he laid it on just as thick as he had with Vulpix, his tone earnest as he smartly played it up for them. Ducklett smacked his face with his wing, dragging the feathers down his bill. < Women. > he thought with a groan.
Mila nodded, ”Uh….okay.” and grabbed an empty ball, offering it up to the alien and clicking the button to see if he’d go in and stay in. ”That was...weird.”

Ducklett watched the Elgyen with wary eyes but let out a quack of exasperation when Mila offered a ball to him. He released another jet of water gun at the alien, flapping up to knock it out of the way. Elgyem fell to the ground after the surprise attack. Just when he thought he’d won, the unpredictable water fowl had bested him! He cried out, scrambling away, the acrid smell of smoldering garbage still clinging to his nostrils. All he could think about was how close he’d been to his demise moments before, when the vulpix had been rightfully vengeful against him. Some may call him a wimp or scaredy-bones - he thought he was just smart enough to be an advocate of...self-preservation! Yeah! That was it! So what if he wasn’t valiant or headstrong - that sort of behavior only ended with death and destruction - the thing these other creatures were SO GOOD AT! He knew his way was the best way, the smartest way!
And so, despite the fact that his hide still stung where the duck had blasted him, he didn’t fight back - same as ever. His only ability when it came to battles were in wit, in strategy, and in hiding just as he’d done when they first approached. He scrambled to his feet, glaring at the duck who, unbeknownst to him, had been in the same position of lowest on the totem pole only days before back at Cygnus Lake. A real life ugly duckling tale of heartbreak and low self-worth had put the Ducklett on this new path of proving himself and protecting those who finally cared for him. The duck knew this guy was bad news, and he wasn’t about to let Mila, the podunk farm girl, make a big mistake like taking him with them!
Mila, shook her head, bringing out Ducklett’s ball instead, ”Ya need to cool it, little feller.” and drew him back in to stay out of the fray. Vulpix tsked at the little welts growing on Elgyem’s side where he’d been hit over and over. She didn’t think it had been a fair fight really, and blamed his initial attack on a place of fear same as many other wild pokemon when people and their teams of pokemon came traipsing into their territory. That had been how it was with her and her family for generations now. And he was all alone out here, it would seem, sitting in a trash can and ambushing people who got too close. Of course he would have lashed out the way he did.
< I wish you would have left him out here, I’d like to give him a piece of my MIND! > Elgyem spat, putting a hand on his uninjured hip and stepping warily back from the approaching Vulpix. As quickly as Ducklett had turned he didn’t know if he trusted this bipolar mama too. Not after the way she’d lit his ass up before only to turn all motherly. His other hip stung big time and he hoped that bumpkin who had TRIED to catch him had some potions on her or would at least stop off at the pokecenter. He was just terrified, seeing her current line up, that she would just dump him in a PC to waste away, rather than let him out to bring about the true nature of his plans on this planet. He and his alien brethren - wherever they may be - needed to cleanse this world of stupidity and inferior intelligent life.
Mila stood shakily, now that it was just her, Vulpix, and Elgyem in the alley. ”Y’all can do that later once yer all healed up an’ I ain’t too weak ta wrassle y’uns if ya git too rough!” she told him, bringing the empty ball up again. If she didn’t catch him this time she was about to kick him into a trash can herself and give up. But there was something about his spunk and determination that was drawing her in. He wasn’t really her aesthetic in the least, but she could use a dynamic personality and a big brain like his on her team. She’d grown up hearing all kinds of crazy farmer stories about aliens stealing livestock and abducting neighbors’ cousin’s grandmother’s aunt twice removed. It was weird to see one in the flesh and even weirder of a concept to NOT take the opportunity to do the abducting for once. Elgyem couldn’t help the comment that slipped out as he said, < Ain’t isn’t a word, who taught you to speak, Gomer Pyle? >
Mila’s eyes narrowed, < Uhhh, well actually, little feller the way I jes used it, it IS a word! Ain’t is a contraction for am not. So I am not becomes I ain’t. Jes cuz I talk like ‘is don’t mean I’m a fuckin idiot.” and with that she clicked the ball again, hoping to zap his sassy ass into it once and for all so she could move on.
