Too Bright -Catch/Open-

[Dono.Riakai]

Dono walked into the great and shiny Sakura Forest, and place that Dono could already tell would not hold that many good times for him. The entire place was so bright and all the trees were so successful in their growing. Dono, being a bit of a sadist, did not enjoy the place at all. He was in the outer ring of Sakura Forest, where more people were clearly there than he had wanted. Dono wanted to get away from all the annoying people, for he very much liked being alone and without any annoyances such as a commonperson. He took off very quickly but undetected deep into the forest, hoping to find an area a bit more dark and away from all the people.

As he got deeper into the heart of Sakura Forest, he realized that the trees were not a lot more crowded, in fact the area looked quite identical to the other area of the forest, except without all the annoying people around. In fact, this was something Dono would perhaps enjoy. He looked around quite quickly, noticing very little sound around the forest area. Clearly, without the racket of people Sakura forest was actually a very quiet place. Dono liked this, for not very often did you come upon an area that was this quiet and serene. But it couldn't possibly last too long. Dono knew that despite his ability to hear any Pokemon they were there. Sakura Forest was known to have quite a bit of Pokemon in and around it.

Dono wasn't sure where any of these Pokemon were, but he just continued walking, at a much slower pace than that of which he had started at when he first began this walk. Dono reached into his side pocket, his right one. On the right he carried his Pokeballs in which contained Pokemon. At the given time, Dono had only one Pokemon to show for. Dono's most prized possession, Buizel. Dono pulled out the pokeball slowly, making sure not to make any more noise than he had already made getting out to this area as fast as possible. Dono threw the Pokeball to the ground, very used to this procedure. Back in Sinnoh he had quite a bit of experience with his Buizel. Not too much, but he had gotten the Buizel to what he thoght was a satisfactory level.

Buizel came bursting out of the Pokeball, flailing its arms wildly. Suddenly the same Buizel yelled out, "Buizel-Bui!!!" Dono's sharp voice quickly pierced the air, in a somewhat loud whisper, "We are trying to stay quiet, tracking Pokemon isn't that easy ya know!" Buizel immediately quieted down, it knew that when Dono had to yell at him he was being serious. Back in Sinnoh Dono never had the urge to want to catch more Pokemon. Maybe this region would prove to be dangerous and Dono needed more Pokemon. This was a scary thought to Buizel, but Buizel had been raised up to be somewhat headstrong and was not going to back down. Dono pointed in a forward direction, and using the utmost amount of Buizel stealth, Buizel darted over there, looking for a Pokemon to battle. Dono turned around and watched the opposite direction.

[Marion Weinberg]

"Oh Machamp, I don't know why you insist on carrying me, I can walk fine" Marion whined from her perch on her Machamp's shoulders, two of his large muscular arms holding her gently, making sure she didn't slip. While she appreciated the concern, the same old lectures about how there were always dangers and how she didn't need to stress herself in her condition were getting monotonous, so much so that she could nearly mouth the words perfectly as he spoke. This time she merely let him continue with his speech, her attention attracted by her surroundings. The trees swayed in the light breeze, their light pink flowers shedding petals that fell like a gentle rain was quite a beautiful sight.

By now Machamp was on his dangerous pokemon part of his speech and Marion couldn't help but chuckle. "There are no pokemon here that would cause us any harm", she laughed with a smile, stroking his head affectionately. With Sakura forest being the passage from Star region's laboratory and Stormcloud city, this was the first place that trainers and their starters came to train and catch pokemon and so many of the pokemon were quite weak in that respect. No enough to challenge a full evolved Machamp. "Besides, Nidoking is back there" she added, jabbing with her thumb behind them. The heavy thud of his monstrous feet could be heard as he trailed the trainer a few metres behind, following them deeper into the forest.

As with Marion, her Nidoking often found Machamp's over protectiveness to be repetitive and he found himself more and more investigating the trees and bushes around them than listening to his partner. In this particular instance, he was not particularly paying attention to where his feet fell and a monstrous foot came down on what looked like a thick, purpley root. As soon as he put his weight into the step, he heard an almighty screech and his.

A wild Seviper appeared!

"Oh, what have you done now!" Machamp asked the purple monster type sternly, brows furrowed. He turned, carrying Marion with him as he followed Nidoking, who had in turn followed the Seviper as it slithered its way menacingly through the forest. The snake pokemon threw itself from the bushes, straight infront of the path of the Buizel. It raised itself up on its tail, fangs bared, hissing angrily at the weasel pokemon, preparing to strike. Nidoking and Machamp at both advanced on the edge of the clearing where the Seviper now challenged Dono's partner. Marion stopped her fighting type with a small pad on the shoulder. "Wait..." she whispered, urging them back slightly into the tree cover. "I want to see how they battle...." the woman explained to her pokemon, her eyes focused on Dono and Buizel with intrigue.

So far Dono hadn't seen much in his direction, nothing but some bushes and grass. Of course, what Dono to expect from Sakura Forest. He had expected this place being such as what it was, boring and uninteresting. Just a sunny place where everyone was just content on their simplistic lives. But it wasn't exactly so. The bushes seemed to rustle a little bit behind him, making a faint sound, but Dono was attentive enough to realize it with haste. However, he didn't turn to it. Buizel, being an uncareful little vermin could have simply dove into a bush, attacking nothing at all.

Dono remained still, his eyes still hardly open due to the boredom of this place. Dono was pretty lazy, and perhaps if he had turned around he would have realized what had just happened a bit more better. Seviper landed out in front of Buizel with a thud. Dono turned around slowly, still unsure of what was to be seen. It was a Seviper, of decent size. Its long shape resembled that of an Ekans, but far more intimidating due to its coloring and its fangs in which it seemed to show freely. Dono couldn't help but allow a small grin to creep across his face.

Here he thought this place would be boring and would hold nothing of his interest when all of a sudden a Seviper just pops out of seemingly nowhere and is ready for battle. Dono turned his entire self towards the battle scene, preparing to watch Seviper's every move as well as carefully instruct his Buizel through the battle. Seviper, just from the first look, appeared to be a fast pokemon, just like his own Buizel. Beating such a thing on speed would have to be experimented with in the beginning of this battle, to ensure the whole battle was not just a pure waste of time, if it showed that Buizel clearly couldn't win.

Dono pulled out his Pokedex, and got a little more information on the Seviper. Dono didn't know why they made it so you received so little information on a wild Pokemon. He thought that if these scientists could put monsters in a somehow so portable chamber and just have them ready to be launched out from it so easy, than they could make a handheld device that knew just about everything on every Pokemon you encountered. But it wasn't like that, so disappointing. Buizel slowly backed up from the Seviper a bit more, very unsure of this battle's outcome. Dono chuckled lightly to himself, why was his Buizel so afraid of this conflict. With his guidance Dono had a pretty good idea that he would win.

His Buizel screeched out its name one more time, as if trying to notify Dono to do something. Dono knocked the hair out of his face quickly, and then said with the utmost confidence for this situation, "Sonic Boom, and then a quick Quick Attack!" Dono wanted to start out this fight with some strong but painful attacks. Dono figured that at the present time stat modification wouldn't be too important, especially since all Buizel knew in that department would be his growl. Buizel ran at the Seviper that was about 8 feet away in a slightly curvy direction, and then shot a Sonic Boom from the Buizel's mouth, attempting to do a bit of damage. The attack had used up a bit more energy than Buizel had expected, and Buizel had to stop and breath for a second or two before lunging at the enemy for a quick attack.
