Well you had to start out somewhere right? Get going from some point and though she wasn't particularly one to start out small she had yet to see the area so it seemed only fitting to start at lovely number one. Not to mention she still had to get her little traveling companions used to the area too. It wasn't quite dark enough yet for Luther to want out and about but it was still light enough to be traveling, though she always did prefer traveling by night herself. There was just something about it she loved far more than the daylight most seemed to go by. So with the evening setting in she had set out. Though she had contemplated letting the small fox pokemon she typically ran around with out she thought it best to keep her in her pokeball for the time being in case something decided it was going to jump out. No point leaving herself to take a wild pokemon head on when she should be training Laura instead. She'd gotten a few of the new commands down with the pokemon but she still needed some work before she'd get the ones she'd been really wanting to get the pokemon to learn. With a sigh at the thought Maiya continued forward through the grasses ignoring their height compared to her own. She knew she was short and certainly didn't need the grass to be rubbing it in like everything else did. "Waking up I see that everything is OK. The first time in my life and now it's so great. Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed, I think about the little things that make life great" She sang aloud as she folded her arms behind her head and walked on. Oh if she didn't encounter a pokemon then at the very least this could be an enjoyable walk.

He was drawn in by the sound of Maiya's singing, curious of who could be making such a melody. He hung back, watching, a bit conflicted as to what he should do next. Should he approach? Or should he stay clear for the sake of caution?

"I wouldn't change a thing about it this is the best feeling." Maiya continued with her singing as she was sure to look over the area, keeping an eye out as she wasn't about to let herself be jumped by anyone or a pokemon even. No she'd faced that one to many times before to let it happen now. In keeping her eye out she spotted the Hitmonchan peaking out but continued on for a moment. "This innocence is brilliant I hope that it will stay. This moment is perfect please don't go away." With a slight nod in the pokemon's direction Maiya made an attempt to coax the pokemon out into the open with out doing too much and possibly scaring it off. If it was friendly rather than aggressive she might as well see where that went right? Either way she didn't mind the chance encounter especially not when she recognized it as a fighting type one of her personal preferences. Just to be on the safe side one hand dropped to reach into a pocket and grip the pokeball that held her Vulpix, just because there was no hostility now didn't mean it would last and she wasn't going to take the chance. Eyes still open she continued on acting as though it didn't matter if the pokemon came out to say hi or not even though she really was hoping it would. She'd like to see the fighting type in action and was curious how it would handle a possible confrontation. Pokemon really were a curious sort.

There were simply far too many stories passed among the pokemon about humans, how they would take pokemon away from their homes and lock them up. But... Maiya looked friendly in his eyes, or at least, she didn't seem to fit in the picture of slave driving human that he had grown up hearing stories about. Slowly he neared her, before he saw her hand go to her belt. There was a flash of recognition in the Hitmonchan's eyes, before he quickly raised up his fists for battle. He had seen one of those Pokeballs before, and he knew what they were for. He stood still, tense, watching Maiya with anxiety, as though he was expecting her to swoop at him in a blink of an eye. <Are you going to eat me?> He said, obviously scared as he held his stance, waiting.

Maiya grinned when the pokemon stepped out though she rose a brow as it lifted its fists. "Ah so you're a fighter after all eh?" Making a quick change of plans she reached for her pokedex instead. Flicking it open with her thumb she pointed it in the general direction of the pokemon and waited for it to speak the same as it had the day she acquired it got around to fishing for what information it had on Vulpixes and later Lunatones. She'd been sad to say then that it didn't know much more than she did it seemed as she'd once spent hours simply looking up information on various pokemon but it was worth a try. Hitmonchan the Punching Pokemon. The arm-twisting punches it throws pulverize even concrete. It rests after three minutes of fighting. "3 minutes hm? That's an interesting tidbit. Sounds pretty strong there too." With another grin Maiya went ahead and reached again for her pokemon. T time she didn't think twice about producing the pokeball and with the quick press of the button on its outer surface released her Vulpix. With a yawn the little fox pokemon just sat for a moment before realizing the had company. Almost instantly she hopped up on her feet and started bouncing on her toes. If not for the sudden command of her trainer she would have bounded to the other pokemon. "Laura, ata." Not one to do things the way they were typically done the trainer had started teaching her pokemon to respond rather than to the typical 'arttack' or 'wait' but made up words of her own mind. However her Vulpix had only learned the most basic of them. She wanted to wait and be patient rather than make the first move against the wild pokemon. <"Awww do I have to?"> Already knowing the answer the Vulpix sat on it's rump and stared at its fellow pokemon, curiosity and excitement obvious on her face.<"Are you here to play? We should play! Let's tussle!"> Puting on her 'game face' as her trainer had called it the pokemon wiggled her rump and waited for the command to play. Oh she wanted to play!

Yes, he could at least agree with Maiya on that. He was a fighting type after all, battling was in his nature. Day in, day out, pretty much the only thing that he did was practice on his punches. He never had a opponent per say but... <Wha-> He practically jumped as the Vulpix materialized in front of him. The Hitmonchan had never seen such a thing happen before. Of course, this was only getting him nervous as to what was going to happen. <Play?> The Hitmonchan repeated, in his own anxious tone. After a few moment it clicked to him that the fire fox meant battle. Alright then, maybe he could do this. He lunged forward, aiming to punch Laura as quickly as he could. He braced himself for a counter attack too. Usually he trained by punching still trees, but this wasn't training anymore. Male Hitmonchan used Comet Punch!

The moment the pokemon moved forward the little fox's eyes went wide as she made an attempt to scramble back, of course this resulted in her flopping on her back as she was grazed by the strike and in her haste managed to roll paws flailing about as she landed flat on her front and in a flurry of flailing limbs and tails rolled sideways until she somehow managed to land on her feet. <"Warn me next time!"> The little pokemon said with a pout as she stood there staring at the other pokemon thinking about how unfair it was that they had come at her so suddenly without even answering her question! The sight of her scrambling Vulpix was just a little too much and the small trainer found herself doubling over with laughter at the sight. She probably should have been paying closer attention to the battle about to commence but it was rather difficult with the sight she'd just seen to do anything but laugh. Really it was just too adorable and funny all in one and while the Vulpix always seemed to be able to make her laugh this was probably one of the best reasons for it in awhile. "Laura, atti- Haha~ Just attack" She said through her laughter. Why was this so fricking funny? Maybe it was the fact she hadn't laughed in awhile so now all the pent up laughter was like a broken dam. Oh well, at the very least she could use it as a chance to see how the little pokemon would handle a fight on her own when she couldn't always rely on her trainer to guide her. The Vulpix was, needless to say, rather confused by her trainers command. She had never been told to just attack before. What with? Did she just run up and butt heads with the other pokemon? <"Uhm."> Her face suddenly brightened with the spark of an idea. With a wiggle of her rump the fox pokemon ran at the opposing Hitmonchan aiming to strike at his feet with her [quick attack] in hopes to knock them right out from under him. Vulpix Laura was hit by Comet Punch. Vulpix Laura used quick attack.

He was kind of happy to have hit Laura with his attack. Smiling to himself, he waited for the other to make the move this time. Which seemed like a mistake now. He was hit full on by the Quick attack, resulting to the rather tall fighting pokemon to fall over. He scrambled back to his feet, though noticeably looking not as spry as earlier. Not moving from the spot, he began to do like a jogging motion, getting himself more limber for the fight. Male Hitmonchan was hit by Quick Attack! Male Hitmonchan used Agility!

The Vulpix watched as the other pokemon jogged in place after having been knocked down by her attack. She was rather pleased with herself for having managed too determine it was a good move on her own. And even better was the fact that it had worked! And so well too! Now for her next move! "Laura, howl." While the two pockemon had traded the blows the trainer had managed to calm herself down and return her attention to the battle at hand. She grinned at her little Vulpix rather glad to see her having made good use of her attack. Going for the feet was a good choice and one she herself would have told the pokemon to make. For the moment though they'd work at matching strength a little. <"Alright!"> With a nod the little pokemon tilted her head back a little and let out a howl. Feeling a bit more pumped for the battle she stood steady face her opponent waiting for the next order of command. This was getting fun! Though she did have to admit she was a little disappointed she wouldn't be choosing the rest of her moves, it was kind of fun doing it herself. That was ok though, she trusted her trainer to make the right move so she could wait it out too. Maiya narrowed her eyes at the Hitmonchan for a moment as she thought over a strategy, she had a feeling she was going to want to avoid every hit she possibly could just in case with the strength that the pokemon could have. Not to mention she wanted to avoid having Laura take too much damage. That wouldn't be good for her little Vulpix. Eyes focused on the battle she waited for the time being. She liked to learn a little bit about her opponents before going at them head on after all. Vulpix Laura used Howl.

He tensed for... Nothing? Other than the sound, there didn't seem to be anything else the Vulpix was doing. Anti-climatic, that's what the Hitmonchan thought. No matter, it only meant he'd get a chance to attack while the fire fox was distracted, and so he did. He lunged again, first first in attempt to knock the Vulpix over with his punch. Male Hitmonchan used Comet Punch!

"Dodge, quick attack." Maiya said rather plainly as she watched the other pokemon make an attempt at her own again. She was rather calm while she dealt with the situation but she had always been like that. When put into a battle situation while she might act being pissed or something in truth she was completely calm. The show was half the fun she figured in her opinion. It was a rather enjoyable thing putting on an act, but there was no point in doing so now while there was no one to see but a pokemon she had decided was going to be on her team anyway. She liked the idea of the strong fighting type joining her, she'd already decided what she would call him to. His name would be Gunther. Already prepared for the coming strike the small pokmemon did as she was told and used her [quick attack] to dash out of the way. However to her trainers dismay it would seem that wasn't the plan and with a sigh the pokemon found herself being given another command to make up for the mishap. "Quick attack." without a second thought the Vulpix obeyed and lunged once again at the other pokemon with her [quick attack] aiming at the feet once more seeing as it happened to work the first time and if it worked why change it? Oh that had been troublesome, she had simply hoped for the pokemon to dodge and then use quick attack but oh well, she couldn't anything about the mishap now. It had done well enough anyway and avoided the damage. Now she simply had to hope it wouldn't tucker her little fox out to quickly instead. At the very least if the second quick attack were to hit it was bound to do more damage this round than it had on the last one thanks to the howl from earlier. Vulpix Laura used Quick Attack to dodge Comet punch. Vulpix Laura used Quick attack.

Before he knew it, his side pained as he was bashed by the Vulpix. He gave a yelp, tumbling down once more. He stayed on the ground, too wounded to even get up. Male Hitmonchan is available for capture!

With a quick nod of approval Maiya reached to her bag and pulled out one of the empty pokeballs she had stored there. She wasn't about to let the chance slip by and miss out on a fighting pokemon. It was one of her prefered sorts and she didn't have one on her Unova team yet! That and she had already named him. Everyone knew after you name a pokemon you can never go back. She rather liked the idea of having a pokemon that could possibly break concrete too. He could be rather useful later for quite a few things, training included. "Alright Laura, eio." She commanded the Vulpix pointing to a rock that was a little out of the way to have the pokemon back while she attempted the catch. She watched with a smile as the little fox walked over and sat by the rock before she threw the pokeball the Hitmonchan's way. She hoped it would mind coming along with her too much. Even if it did at first she'd be able to get it to warm up well enough she was sure. She'd managed it before with some unruly pokemon. She also had the advantage of not being scared of what poekmon could do, Charizard roaring in her face? Screw that she was roaring right back. Pokemon would learn that just because she was human and small didn't mean she'd be back away from them just because they were a little bit pissy. Though this hitmonchan didn't seem that way, more a calm cautious sort instead. Oh well she'd find out for certain as things went anyway. Trainer Maiya used pokeball.

Female Snubbull wants to fight Level 4 with the ability Intimidate Knows Tackle, Scary Face, Tail Whip, Charm, Thunder Fang It seems that a Snubbull has been watching the proceedings from a nearby bush, and looking eager to battle. The pink pokemon waddled closer, trying to intimidate Laura for the fight. The canine pokemon stood there for a moment, waiting for some kind of sign that she wasn't going to go ignored.

With a pleased grin the girl retrieved the pokeball now being inhabited by her newest pokemon. She had a feeling the Hitmonchan would turn out to be a wonderful addition to the team. Once she had him fully cooperative if he wasn't right off the bat that is. But for now she had the matter of getting him to the pokemon center before too long and getting those little pains he was bound to have from the Vulpix's strikes taken care of. Her inner musings concerning what would come from the addition to the team were, needless to say, interrupted however by the arrival of another pokemon. Once again she retrieved her pokedex and flicked it open so as to acquire the entry and what possible information may come from it. "Snubbull the Fairy Pokemon. Small Pokémon flee from its scary face. It is, however, considered by women to be cute." Whatever floated those people's boats she figured. If they thought it was cute they could go for it personally she thought it was just a little odd. Either way it wasn't a fighting type, nor fire or psychic which were her preferences and it wasn't a pokemon of interest either. Well if it wanted to fight then down it would go. However Laura did take a couple hits already from the Hitmonchan though they did seem to be rather light hits too. She feared the little fox could be closer to tuckered than she thought but she didn't seem it. She'd leave Laura out for now, she how long the little one would last. "Extrasensory." Though the Vulpix heard its trainer it had to admit, the Snubbull's attempt to intimidate was pretty good. The pokemon seemed like it could really do some damage if it wanted to, but that was not the point! She had been commanded to do something and do it she would! From her spot sitting by the rock the little pokemon let loose an odd unseen sort of power in the general direction of the opposing pokemon. The little fox did her best to focus as much of the hit as she possibly could on the opponent. Vulpix Laura was intimidated. Vulpix Laura used Extrasensory.
