The flames made direct, critical, contact and not only that they left a Burn on the poor wild Pokemon as well. Muttering her name weakly, the Cottonee let go of the Charmander and drifted very slowly to the ground; knocked out.
Karma trotted up behind Dmitriy by this point, fascinated. ~Whatcha doin'?~ asked, ears pointed straight up.

Grinning, Dmitriy threw the pokeball at the downed Cottonee. He already had so many grass types at this point, but it'd be fun to have another pokemon in his team.
The voice behind him made him jump, and he glanced back at the Ponyta. What am I doing? I'm burning grass types to a crisp and then trapping them in Pokeballs. He reworded his current position, not sure that was something he really wanted to say to something named Karma. "I'm- uh- training." Technically it was true His Charmander needed the experience if she was to beat Tak, after all.

In an instant, the Cottonee was swallowed up in a rush of red light and the ball landed softly on the grass and wiggled once...Twice...Ding!
Gotcha! Wild Cottonee was Caught!
[/i] Name: --- Gender: Female Species: Cottonee Level 8 Moveset: Absorb | Growth | Leech Seed Personality: She's got a bit of...Flowery language about her. She's a bit of a hasty little Pokemon, who doesn't mind picking a fight she knows she can't win. It's the principle of the matter that she fights for. Karma looked interested, ~ Training?~ She'd never really seen anyone in her herd doing that before, but then she was pretty young. ~ Seems fun.~ she offered, wondering where the Cottonee had disappeared off to, but she put it out of her mind. ~ Bane you were fantastic!~ [/center][/size]

<Thank you!> The lizard did a little bow in response, pleased with the compliment. <I think Aerial Ace really messed her up.> She said to her trainer, recalling the expression on the cotton-pokemon's face after she had landed.
"So... maybe Grass is weak against Flying," he mused, "Makes sense. I'll keep that in mind." He really did need to learn the different type advantages. It would make winning just that much easier, for sure. He had already figured fire was good against Grass, which is why he sent Bane in the first place... But when he had been challenging that Luxio... he had no idea who to use.
He turned now to the Ponyta, realizing he hadn't said much to her since their arrival. "So you said you'd been here before, right? Know of anything cool we should go see before departing to the city?"

Karma tilted her head at the question. Most places were all the same to her...She knew where the sweetest grass was - but the set of creatures before her didn't seem to partake in the same diet she did. Hmmm...~Oh, I know! There's a spring around here.~ It was one of her favorite places to visit when she was younger.
Walnut nudged Dmitriy's leg. ~Congrats on the win, champ.~ he canted his head to the side. ~You want me to...Do this now?~ he held up the Luxary Ball for emphasis.

"A spring..?" He mused over this location. Probably a good spot to find various Pokemon, and maybe a reasonable water type. Or something. He didn't really like water types much. What was so cool about being able to shoot water, when you could have a Pokemon that could blow fire?
"Sounds good. Maybe there'll be some awesome swamp pokemon or something." One that vomits mud instead of water. But then again, he would probably prefer to be drenched than smothered.
The Pokemon at his leg made him stop his pondering, and his mind picked this new dilemma to think about. It was weird not having Walnut out and about every single time he did anything. He'd have him out all the time, but... "Yeah, now's a good time. Before you do, do you want me to let you out, or are you tired of walking around right now?" He sounded awkward, and it made him a little worried. What if he didn't let him out enough? What if Walnut regretted this decision, and eventually turned to hate him?

Walnut smiled softly, ~You're the boss.~ he said, as he tossed the Luxury ball upwards and let it land with a soft plunk on his hard head. There was a flash of light, and then the Cranidos was gone. Once...Twice...Ping!
...Gotcha? Walnut was...Willingly caught
Name: Walnut Gender: Male Species: Cranidos Ability: Mold Breaker Level: 10 Moveset: Headbutt | Leer | Focus Energy | Pursuit EM: Crunch Personality: Walnut is...Walnut.
Again, Karma shot her ears up in curiosity. Another Pokemon disappeared into one of those round things, so she hadn't imagined it happening to that Cottonee before. Hm. She shook her head and looked at Dmitriy happily, ~Yeah, the water is very clear and delicious.~ she canted her head to the side, ~And there are plenty of other Pokemon around too; it's the best Spring in the meadow.~

"Sounds fun." His voice was a little far away, peaking at Walnut through the Pokeball's red tint. He would let him out when he returned his grass type, trying to limit the pokemon he had out at once. "Thea, make sure Kiz follows us." He informed the Chikorita, who had been basking in the sun throughout the entire battle and conversation following. Immediately, the grass-type approached the other, and seemed to be coaxing her to follow.
"Lead the way, Karma~" He ordered, feeling excited at his two new party members. Particularly the last one. Well, mostly the last one.

Karma reared a little at the thought of leading. It made her feel special, and after checking to make sure everyone was behind her she set off at a bouncy trot. It was a decent trip, about twenty minutes from where they had been standing. Few Pokemon were on the way there, just a few Sewaddle and once another flock of Cottonee flew overheard, chattering amongst themselves about the breeze and the weather they've been having lately (no doubt Grass-types cared more for the weather than others). The vegetation began increasing as they neared the little spring, and one tall tree draped over the water like a giant green umbrella.
The water was clear, and reflected the leaves overhead beautifully. Remoraids were just below the surface, darting too and fro close to the top - occasionally one would poke it's head out and gobble up some small unseen bug. There was a Lotad crouched near the base of the tree, arms wrapped around it's legs- it seemed to be staring at the Lotad it saw in the water; looking a little amused when the image rippled as a few Surskit skated past on the water's surface. A Scyther was way up in the tree's top, looking like it was enjoying a very nice nap. And a Yanma was buzzing near the edge of the water, watching the Surskit's with an eager expression.

The view was pretty, and he narrowed his eyes to look between the vegetation in case they passed a cool Pokemon. It was a good thing they didn't, because the Ponyta leading was taking her job very seriously, and he didn't particularly want to ask her to stop or slow down. The walk was longer than he expected, and after the fifth time of glancing ahead- this time sure he heard water- he finally caught sight of the spring.
Afraid their presence would attract unwanted attention and scare something important, he quickly pulled out Kiz's Pokeball. Thea was doing a good job walking softly, but the littler grass type seemed on a mission to break every single twig she came across, and would sometimes point things out to her guardian, who didn't see quite as excited about the occasional flower and bug that she was.
With her safely inside, he beamed and studied the surroundings. He kept the Scyther in mind, deciding he probably wouldn't disappear any time soon, and paid closest attention to the Lotad. His eyes looked at it, to its reflection, then to the cause of the ripples. Immediately, he switched his Pokedex's target, not even noticing the little spider-like creatures on the water when he first pulled it out.

Ping!
Surskit - The Pond skating Pokemon. Surskit secretes an oil from the tips of it's feet to glide over the top of the water. They usually live in ponds, but often after rain they sometimes gather in puddles to play. From the top of it's head, Surskit can release a sweet scent to distract predators and draw in prey.
Most of the other Pokemon didn't even notice him, and kept about their business (despite the mechanical voice ringing out over the spring). The Surskit continued to play around the edges of the spring, chasing one another with reckless abandon. The Yanma, however, took a look at Dmitriy and the red device pointed at the spring and took off with a loud bzzzz!, which drew the attention of the Lotad. Watching the Yanma speed off, the kappa-like Pokemon slowly turned to look at Dmitriy...And gave him a somewhat blank look.

With his Charmander and Chikorita following, Dmitriy advanced towards the spring. If the Lotad- who was creeping him out with the staring- didn't run when he approached, he'd pull it out again. He was just significantly more interested in something that wasn't another grass type, and the lily pad on his head was a sign he didn't fit the description. Bug and Water the 'dex had read, under the picture of a Surskit. He didn't know pokemon could be two types.
"What are you doing?" He asked the Surskit, for lack of something better to say. He wasn't even sure if they'd notice him, or if they were too self-involved with their game of tag. He glanced over at the Lotad again, feeling weird at the blank expression.

The Lotad watched as Dmitriy approached like he was walking on glass, and tilted his head to the side. He'd never seen someone act like everything was going to break around him if he didn't step carefully. He watched for a moment more, before shrugging his shoulders and looking back to his reflection.
The Surskits, for their part, were very interested in Dmitriy. They skated back around to him in a criss-cross pattern and stared at him, as though he were a giant among sheep. ~Water you doing?~ the one on the left asked, while the right questioned with ~Any fin interesting?~

He blinked at them, not sure how he should respond. At first it seemed annoying, but when he thought about it more... something about Pokemon throwing puns at him was actually hilarious. It took him a moment, and just as he was giving up on creating his own, the most perfect one appeared. Two, in fact.
"Just looking around. Didn't meant to spring up on you, but this is a shore nice place you have here." He said with pride before grinning cheesily. Though he wished immediately that he hadn't of used two. Now if they were to keep going he'd run out sooner.

The Surskits looked at each other, and then back at the trainer. They were clearly very happy that the Trainer had picked up on their game and both swirled in place a few times before they responded. ~Yes! The spring is a place flowing with interesting things and Pokemon, and interesting items have a habit of washing up.~ The other chuckled, ~Also, we sea what you're doing. It's a whale of a time talking to you, stranger.~ they bowed, ~My name is Flo~ ~And mine is Ebb.~
The soft sound of a palm finding a forehead came from the Lotad on the other side of the bank.
