Sam had to admit, at first she hadn’t believed the rumors. Humans were easily frightened these days, and she’d doubted that there’d really be anything overly dangerous. Ghosts, though annoying, weren’t usually all that strong. Perhaps a mischievous Pokemon or two would jump out at her, but that was nothing that she couldn’t handle. She’d marched into the gloomy woods without a second thought, positive that she had nothing to fear. Er, except getting lost, that was. She’d originally traveled out here looking for trouble- it seemed that everyone was getting their own Pokemon these days, and having a ghost-type around to scare people with certainly seemed fun. But the thick haze drifting through the trees was rather disorienting, to say the least, and she’d never had a very good sense of direction. She’d been wandering for ages now, and the eerie atmosphere was starting to get to her head. She wasn’t the calmest of people to begin with, and this unfamiliar territory was making her positively scatterbrained. Her depressed musings were interrupted as a loud snap echoed through the forest. She yelped piercingly, jumping nearly a foot into the air before darting away. From her hiding place behind one of the larger tree-trunks, she peered warily toward the sound, producing a small knife in her right hand. She stood there, barely breathing, for several long antagonizing moments. And yet, her ruby gaze could find absolutely nothing suspicious in the murk; no Pokemon, no humans, nothing that would signal an attacker. In fact, he only thing she could clearly make out in the darkness was a large broken branch... right where she’d just been standing. Oops. She felt her usually pale cheeks flush bright red as leaned her head back, studying the sky in an effort to distract herself from the blunder. Oh, just her luck: the sun was beginning to set, sending the already overcast forest into inky blackness. She narrowed her eyes, muttering a soft stream of curses under her breath. This was definitely not her day.[/style]

Bubble || - - - || - - - || - - - ||

There was no water here, and the little Surskit was getting awfully thirsty. She was almost entirely out of her element because, unlike a whole lot of bugs, she thrived almost entirely in the water. The forest, especially such a dead one like this, didn’t provide too much running or standing water in the first place. What was left of it was mud, or swampy and full of fish Pokemon that could eat her up in one gulp.

On top of it all, it was getting dark. The nervous little bug continued to tramp through the forest, hoping to find some source of water before it got entirely black out. The sun was beginning to go down and, thanks to certain fumes in the air, looked like it was turning the sun bright red. She tried to keep her place hidden though, skipping between roots and knarred branches and hiding under whatever she could, lest she become an easy meal. That was when she heard a soft sound coming not too far away and began to go towards it in some curiousity.

A human. It was a human female standing in the woods, seeming to mutter to herself and staring up at the sky. Though the Surskit was vary curious, she was also very cautious. She wandered a bit closer, but kept herself hidden among various roots and even the mud, hoping not to be seen.

How the hell she was going to get out of this was beyond her. She was no stranger to danger, of course, but this was not a place she wanted to stay the night. And even if she waited for daylight, she’d still be lost. She had no intention of spending the rest of her life wandering these Arceus-forsaken woods, after all... A Noctowl hooted somewhere in the distance, making her flinch and start up another rapid flurry of curses. That was the last straw. She was going to find a place to stay the night. Blood-red eyes slitted angrily, she turned on her heel, hoping to find a nice tree or something to curl up in. Come morning she would climb to the top, get her bearings, but for now she might as well get some rest. A large tangle of roots looked promising, and she trotted over, eager to get this awful day over with. Head jerking back and forth warily, she approached, hoping beyond all hope that nothing would jump out at her. After surviving as an illegal gijinka for so long, having a panic-induced heart-attack seemed a rather pathetic way to die. She scowled in distaste as she began to sink into the mud as she walked. Ugh, no wonder this place had a bad reputation: even without any Pokemon, it was out to get you. Deciding against trudging all the way back to dry land, she struggled the last few feet to the tree, before collapsing on it gratefully. Thoroughly cursing the moment she’d decided to come out here, she took one last look around, hoping for some last minute clue as to where she might be... Only to find a little bug a few feet away, hiding among the muck. She jerked backwards once again, nearly toppling off her perch. How had she not noticed the Pokemon before?! On pure instinct, she flicked her hand out toward the creature, sending a bolt of light flashing in its direction. Okay, perhaps Leech Life wasn’t the greatest of moves, but it was her only ranged attack and years of experience had taught her to always strike first.[/style]

Bubble || - - - || - - - || - - - ||

The little water strider Pokemon watched the human in great interest, though still too terrified to make a move, whether it be walking away or getting closer. The human was so much bigger than she was! She could squish her flat under her foot if she wanted, and being a hug, she no doubt would want to do. The Surskit had heard that human females quite detested bugs, and that they took every chance to either run from them or stomp on them.

Then the human began to walk towards the blue spider, and then was when she began to get really nervous. Staring with intent, she watched every move the human female made, watching her walk through the mud closer and closer to her before collapsing onto the nearby tree, less than a foot away. The Surskit was holding her breath, hoping she wasn’t to be seen when the girl turned her head and all her hopes went out the window.

The Surskit herself jumped back in fright, not to mention the little bolt of light that went flying at her gave her quite a fright. The bug squeaked when the leech life struck, stumbling back before retaliating in panic. A bubble was sent straight in the girl’s direction; the only move the Surskit knew at all. She was just terrified and flailing about, hoping she didn’t die.

In fact, the little Pokemon appeared to be just as startled as she was. She'd always had a soft spot for bugs- the constant torment of being a bug-type was tough, and for a split second she sympathized with the thing. But then, of course, it sent a bubble attack straight at her. She darted away, dodging it easily- and landing with a loud plop! in the middle of the mud. Now, she wasn't a girly girl by any means. Having spent a good portion of her life in the slums, this really shouldn't have affected her much. But she was lost in the middle of a haunted forest, with the sun going down, the temperature rapidly dropping, being attacked by a wild Pokemon. This damn mud was just adding insult to injury. Before she could stop herself, she let out an inhuman Screech, the ear-splitting sound echoing eerily among the dark trees. She gave the creature the best death glare she could manage: which wasn't half bad with those blood-red eyes of hers, if she said so herself. But she almost immediately took it back when she saw the look on the little Pokemon's face. Oh, jeez; she'd probably given the poor thing a heart-attack. She'd come out here to catch a companion or two, and she'd never achieve that if she scared them all away. Besides, maybe it knew the way back to civilization! Struggling for a moment to put an apologetic look on her face (and managing it rather well, given the circumstances) she held her hands up in a universal "woah!" gesture. "Easy, there, 'lil buddy. Sorry 'bout that, just startled me, is all." Her normally confident voice wavered slightly, as she wasn't used to apologizing, but she was relatively sure she'd squish the creature underfoot if push came to shove. Yes, this was one fight she'd rather avoid.[/style]

When the Surskit opened her eyes again, the human was nowhere to be found. She could only guess that the dark haired girl had dodged her bubble and slipped away someplace, hopefully nowhere near her. With a sigh, and stupidly enough, without bothering to glance around too much first, the little bug began to relax her legs when all the sudden, an ungodly shriek pierced her eardrums.

She actually jumped so badly, she landed on her back; long, scrawny legs sticking up in the air and all tangled. Her teeny tiny heart was beating way faster than it ever should have, and the Surskit felt like she was already ready to faint, even if the human hadn’t even touched her yet. The blue bug stared blankly up at the darkening sky, unsure if it were safe to move or if the horrid shrieking would come back the second she twitched. So she just lay there, staring and staring until the human came back into her view. The human female was huge, and she stared with wide-eyed amazement.

”Sur… skit…”

Jeez, her screech hadn’t been that bad, had it? The creature had freaked out so badly that it had flipped over, its little legs all tangled together. She’d heard the phrase “scared to death” before, but she had never thought it was actually possible. Damn. She hadn’t meant to scare the poor thing so badly, only keep it from attacking her again. ”I... Uh...Sorry.” Quite why she was talking to the Pokemon was beyond her. After all, it wasn’t as if it could understand her. But the situation called for some sort of communication, and with the sun already setting, she found silence oddly unnerving. Shifting slowly forward through the muck, she inched closer to the Surskit, watching its frightened expression warily. Feeling the need to soothe the little creature, she crooned to it softly, making her voice comforting as possible. ”Are you okay?” Although, come to think of it, that was a good question. Surskit was a water-type, if she remembered correctly. What was it doing in a forest with no standing water? She frowned slightly. If the Pokemon was as lost as she was, there was no way she was getting out of here by morning. ”You’re no help at all...” She muttered crossly as she pulled herself out of the mud and back up to the roots. Then, in one quick movement, her hand flashed out and deftly flipped the little bug right-side up. Just as quickly, she pulled both hands into her lap, trying to appear as small and non-threatening as possible. She couldn’t possibly let such an innocent creature die, and it might be nice to have some back up. Now all she had to do was hope it didn’t run off.[/style]

The two seemed to have a staring contest for a few seconds before the human spoke; the language was nothing that the little bug could understand, though the tone didn’t scare her as much as she thought it would. The human didn’t grab for her immediately, or try to eat her, but she was still terrified by that shriek that she uttered. What the heck was that? Humans were not supposed to be able to do things like that!

Then, before the Surskit knew what was even happening, she was flipped up into the air and onto her four thin little legs. ”Surskit!” She cried in surprise, bracing to be eaten at any moment… but no, the human drew away again after having thrown her up in the air so quickly. What did the human want from her, anyway? She was just a little bug, looking for some water and with little to no useable attacks at all other than a few bubbles.

The blue bug stood in the mud, shaking in her skin because of how terrified she was. She continued to stare though, not attacking or anything or not running away, in fear that the human might change her mind and eat her up after all.

It looked so completely petrified that it might have been humorous on any other day. But today? Today, it just pissed her off. ”Fine. Be that way.” She muttered softly, before turning her back on the creature. ”Let me know when you’re ready to talk.” Ugh. She must be in trouble, if she was talking to a little bug like it could understand her. She sighed softly, reaching into the bag she carried constantly on her shoulder. The mud had thoroughly coated the bottom, but the contents seemed perfectly fine. Good enough for her. Slender hand darting inside, she fished around for a bit, before extracting two items: the first was, of course, an empty Pokeball. The second, though, was a nice large bottle of water. Now, why she was wasting perfectly good supplies on some random bug was beyond her. But hey, the thing looked just about as lost as she was. She couldn’t just let it die out here. So, rolling her eyes at her own softness, she flipped the cap off the bottle and gently tossed it in the general direction of the Surskit. Maybe she could bribe this thing into not being afraid.[/style]

The Surskit watched with much wariness as the human said something again… then turned her back. Ah, this was her chance to get away! The blue bug didn’t want to attack, she just wanted to run and not get eaten up. If anybody else was something as little and as weak as her, they’d understand. As slowly and carefully as she was able, without startling the human, the bug began to pack up on spindly thin legs, ready to make a run for it when the human seemed to suddenly turn back. Damn, she was really screwed now, was she?

Something was tossed in the Surskit’s direction, and she braced for impact, squeezing her eyes shut and giving herself up to be eaten… But then there was a faint splash, and she cracked her beady black eyes open to see a container of what looked like… water. Sweet, life-giving water! ”Surskit!” The little spider cried, quickly splashing some of it onto herself before gulping some down. Ah, now that was better, was it? For the time being, distracted, she had nearly forgotten about the human.

Poor thing, thought it was going to get eaten. But as it finally realized that it was still alive, it let out a little squeal of happiness, diving for the water like it hadn’t had a drink in days. The gijinka chuckled softly at the bug’s antics. Alright, perhaps it wasn’t the bravest of creatures. But bug-types were known for being fast, and she needed a Pokemon that could keep up with her. It wouldn’t do to outrun her own teammates, after all. She could take care of herself if push came to shove, so it wasn’t as if the need for a powerful Pokemon was urgent. She had all the time in the world to train the creature up. Besides, the thing was so pitiful that she really had no choice but to try and help it out. Hoping that she wouldn’t scare it more than was necessary, she enlarged the Pokeball, holding it out towards the creature. ”Hey... It’s okay, I won’t hurt you.” She crooned to it softly, hand darting ever closer. ”I’m just here to help.” She could take the bug by force, of course, but she might as well try to befriend it. Dusk in a haunted forest was not exactly the prime time to start a battle, and frankly, she had no business harming a creature as fragile as this. All she could do was murmur to it comfortingly, hoping that it wouldn’t run away.[/style]

Slurping up the water as if she were in the middle of the desert, the Surskit barely noticed when the human began to creep up to her. She didn’t notice until the human female was very close, holding out what looked like a white and red capsule. The Surskit paused her drinking for a couple of seconds, tilting her head as she stared at it. Now that was familiar, but she was very unsure of what it actually was. However, she was considerably less afraid at this point and didn’t quite mind the water-bearing human to be so close.

Reaching out with one spindly, thin leg, the Surskit touched the button in the middle in curiousity. She definitely wasn’t expecting what was to come next and jumped in surprise when a bright light engulfed her completely. Oh, she knew not to trust those humans!

Surskit was caught!

Bounce, bounce, bounce, all day and every day and all through the night, too! The springy little pig continued to bounce along through the mud, the dusty ground and anything else in her path, not worrying too much about what was going on around her. It was relatively safe around here, simply because it was her home turf. The Spoink was born here and had grown up here and lived here her entire life; the ways to survive were just so deeply etched out in her mind, she didn’t even need to think about them anymore.

Bounce, bounce, bounce~

”…Spooooink?” The pig paused, bouncing up and down in place as she spotted something further up ahead. A human. How strange; they didn’t often appear around these parts. Something about a haunted forest or whatever, though the Spoink had never once seen anything mysterious. She bounced up excitedly to the kneeling human… and right onto her back! ”SPOINK!” She cried in excitement.

It reached out to the contraption, and by an impressive feat of self-control, she managed to stay perfectly still. As the creature's foot brushed the surface of the Pokeball, it flashed a brilliant red. A delighted grin flickered across her face- she had caught it! With a happy little hum, she began to lean back, ready to settle in for the night- and then something small and furry landed on her back with a loud "SPOINK!" For the second time that night, she jumped in fright, tumbling head-over-heels into the disgusting mud. With an angry oath, she whirled on her would-be attacker. How dare they hit her from behind?! A cowardly attack, to be sure, made even more despicable by the fact that she'd been distracted with a Pokemon. Well, if it was a fight this mystery beast wanted, a fight it was going to get. A brief moment of concentration, and suddenly she was moving, so incredibly fast even the quickest of creatures would have trouble following the movement. Zipping up out of the mud and back onto her perch in a well-executed Quick-Attack, her ruby gaze flashed across the forest. Perhaps she'd shaken the creature off when she'd fallen? Yes, there is was! A little brown lump, coated in muck. With a sneer, her hand flickered toward it, sending a Leech Life in its general direction. She was merely testing her foe, to see how it would react. She crouched down, ready to dodge the counter-attack that she was sure was headed her way...[/style]

The little pig just wanted to play, bouncing up and down on the human’s back before suddenly being flung off and right into the mud. She didn’t even really know what happened; all the knew was that she was bouncing around, doing nothing threatening, and thenshe was face down in the ground. ”Spoooooink~” She groaned in protest, slowly bouncing back up to her one springy tail before the ball on her head fell off. She inspected herself to make sure she was alright before turning back to the very rude woman who just threw her.

But before she could even open her mouth, she was suddenly smacked in the face by the human using a quick attack. ”SPOINK!” Hey! That was rude! The little Spoink cried out telepathically at the human, pushing her voice into the dark haired lady’s head as psychic types could usually do. Before she could say anything else, she jumped out of the way of what looked like a flying bullet. What was wrong with this woman, attacking her out of nowhere.

”Stop it, or I’ll have to fight you!” The pig squealed before deciding enough was enough. Focusing her energy into the ball between her ears, it began to glow with a faint pink light before she unleashed a Psywave.
