Shivering in the cold of route six, Zach felt the thin layer of snow crunch beneath his feet. He wasn't sure if he was touching dirt at the bottom of the loose layer, or just hard packed snow or ice. Really, he didn't care. It was cold, his nose was turning a bright cherry red, and even if he'd pulled on another jacket, it was still cold. The sooner he got off this route and into a place more warm, the better.
Not that he was complaining. Oh no. Despite his uncomfort, he was close to smiling, because there was a sun above him. Light. Sweet, sweet, heavenly light.
He had been going to let Singe out, but on second thought it occurred to him that having the lava slug oozing about in snow would be a bad idea. She'd melt it and harm herself. Maybe even kill herself. So she wasn't going to be leaving her pokeball for this route, unless it was the largest emergency he had yet to experience.
Of course, Brann could be let out. The small Elekid didn't mind either, and trotted along next to Zach. The trainer figured that if the baby pokemon started to get cold, he'd either carry him, or return him to the pokeball, but for now he was showing remarkable resistance to the cold.
The electric type wasn't the only one at his side however, for dwarfing him on the other side was Huur, who had decided that after her brave exploits in the gym battle, she deserved to lumber along outside. She'd given up on walking on two-while it was relativly easy, she was more comfortable on four, after spending the majority of her life such as. Occasionally she'd raise herself up, but not right now.

A jynx hummed a song she overheard from a trainer's music player, staring at the sky. She almost bumped into Zach, and looked a bit surprised. "<Oh...sorry.>" ((I'm in love with jynx after writing Arisa's so much... ))

Zach looked as surprised as the jynx, but the smile was back shortly. "Not a problem, not a thing to worry about. I'm Zach, who're you?" Even the first pokemon he had run into was friendly! How wonderful was that?
Brann stared at the jynx with intrest, even going so far as to poke her in the side. <Interesting.> Needless to say, the Elekid had never seen a jynx before.

The jynx eyed the elekid, wondering what it was (she'd never seen one of him, either). "<I don't really have a name, but my friends and I decided to choose some anyway. You know, in case something like this happened. I decided I wanted to be, like, Eira, I think.>" She looked at Zach. "<Nice to meet you, Zach.>"

Zach blinked-she 'thought' she wanted to be Eira? ...She sounded like his twin. Putting in 'like' and 'you know' into her sentances...Frightening. "It's nice to meet you to, Eira." He hope he pronounced it right. It was 'Ey-rah', right? He couldn't remember suddenly.
<What are you?> Brann had no manners to speak of, despite his 'mature' personality. Poking Eira again, he added on, <I've never seen something like you.>
Huur...dug around in the snow. For rocks. Because, even if pokefood was good, rocks were better.

Eira smiled a fat-lipped smile. "<Same.>" She looked down at Brann. "<Umm...I'm a jynx. What are you? You know, you're not like anything around here,>" she explained, then poked a finger at Huur. "<I've seen one of them before. We're, like...close to the tunnels. So, like...um...yeah. I've seen one of 'em.>"
((*cannot think of a personality to save her life, but really likes jynx after writing Arisa so muuuuuuch*))

((Ahahaha. She really does come off alot like Zach's twin...Which I hardly ever use in roleplay. XD))
Brann puffed his chest out in pride, <I'm an Elekid.>
Huur mumbled something, but it was hard to figure out what since she was munching on a particuarily tasteful rock. Zach looked at her askance, "Huur! Don't talk with your mouth full."
((-dies- The utter horror of the post...I think that Eira is a component of writers block. 0.o Ebil Eira!))

((...Zach has a twin? And where are you getting these avatars? They're funny...|3 And yeah...Eira = writer's block.)) "<Oh,>" Eira stated, unsure of what to do next. She glanced back and forth, feeling awkward. "<Umm...so...are we going to...like...battle, or something?>"

((Yup. Her name is Ericka. Maybe I'll bring her in sometime, in a random roleplay. Or turn her into an NPC for you guys to use. Basically she likes to hit people with a large stick and make off with money. And the avvies, surprisingly, come from neopets. Because someone else hunted them down. I tried to put the link, but it didn't work. In the text under my avvie. So I'll put it here so I can stop feeling guilty. XD petpages.neopets.com/~lord_x_fluffy I have a feeling the ooc will be longer than my ic...)) Finally Hurr's gaze lit up, and with a quick gulp she swallowed the rest of the rock. < Battle? Yes!> She had to win-because currently she was feeling horrible about losing at the gym (even if she had been out the longest, except for maybe Rapheal). Zach blinked, wondering when he had lost the right to say yes or no. Maybe he shouldn't walk with Huur for too much...She was too happy to battle. Typical of Zach to not realize why.

((I hate it when that happens. ^_^;; But I love those avatars! So funny...)) Eira smiled, flipping her hair nonchalantly. "<Sounds fun. Um...so, uh, yeah. Would you like to attack first, or should I?>" She paused, tapping her large lips with her pudgy finger. "<I guess it would be, um, like, more polite if I let you go first...so yeah. You get the first turn, I guess.>" ((Graaagh! I need a personality that isn't cardboard! ;_; ))

((-prods mail- Ooh, ooh! She sounds like this one blonde at my school. We all swear that one day it will rain and wash the makeup off, and she'll be like...two inches tall. She wears way too much. But she's got this high-pitched voice and she's always talking, and she laughs at everything, and she's always happy except about stupid things, like who made the cheerleading squad. -nods-))
Huur grinned, <Alright. Sounds good to me. C'mon Zach, hurry up!>
Zach, who had just picked up Brann and moved back a couple of steps (Huur, he felt, would probably forget he was there and squish him), called out the first attack that came to mind. "Use Headbutt!" Maybe she'd get a headache and ask to be let into her pokeball? It was a hope.

The headbutt hit Eira square in the chest, knocking her tumbling. Since Zach and co were on a bit of a slope, she didn't stop quite as fast as she normally should have. Rising slowly to her battered feet, although this couldn't be seen, thanks to the skirt like thing, Eira shook her blond head.
<That was, like, really powerful,> she said, twirling around sort of cluelessly. She wasn't certain why she was twirling, but it was fun, and her skirt when poofy which was attractive. Oh, right, she supposed she'd better attack now. <Um, like, be ready.>
She suddenly bolted forward, her shikrt and hair billowing out behind her. Up the slope she came, stopping right in front of Hurr and slapping Hurr's metal clad cheeks in quick succession.
((Eira used Wake Up Slap, a fighting move with a 60 power ... just in case you didn't know what it was. ^^))

Huur blinked, her head ringing from the attack. Because of the echo in her steel head, it took a few tries before Zach's voice finally reached her brain, "Use mud slap!"
Now, the attack would have been wonderful, if only there had actually been mud. Instead it was more of a slushy snow slap, but she supposed it was close to the same thing. Only, Huur also guessed that it wouldn't do as much damage as any of her other attacks would, being as Eira was ice-type and all, and her mudslap was more slush than mud.

Frowning, Eira danced a bit to the left. The slushy mud slapped all over her dress, and she tripped. Coughing, she struggled back to her feet. "<Oww...>" She began to wring out her dress, only resulting in getting the stingy mud on her hands. "<Oh, not cool...>"
She paused, then blinked. "<Oh duh...I have that attack,>" the psychic mumbled, turning back to face Huur. She then held out her dark hands focusing on pulling normal threads in the psychic plane around the steel-type. Once they were wrapped around, she pulled her hands downward in a wringing motion, attempting to Wring Out the health Huur had.
((She's using a DP move called Wring Out, which is a special normal-type move that causes more damage if the opponent has more hit points.))

Huur groaned, her being the unlucky holder of more hit points and all. She was beginning to wish that the jinx had gone first, because then Huur wouldn't have caused more damage, but then the attack ended and she shook her head.
"Huur, are you alright?" Zach watched her worriedly, having never seen the move before. Jenta definatly had tougher pokemon than Johto. And they talked.
<Fine, fine.> Her tail flashed, and then she whipped around, not waiting for a direction from Zach. Again.

"<Oof!>" Eira winced as the Iron Tail knocked her back, and she had to focus to get up without coughing. She then held out her hands, and used another Wring Out, even though it would do a bit less this time. Really, she just didn't want to get close to Huur...
((That, and I'm too lazy to see what other attacks she would have.))

Huur groaned again, glaring at the ice-type pokemon. <Why you little...> Huur officially declared Eira a pain in the backside, trailing off from the cursing she might otherwise have gone into.
"Use headbutt, Huur!" Zach was beginning to hope that the jynx went down fairly soon. He didn't want to see what happened to Huur's self-esteem (or temper) when she lost twice in a row. He had a feeling it wouldn't be pleasant, once she regained consciousness.
Huur lowered her head, smiling. <Gladly.> Charging forward on all fours, she hoped that the impact of her head against jynx carried the force of her entire body. Maybe it'd give the annoying thing a concussion.

Luckily, the jynx did hit her head, and was promptly knocked out. Zach's Pokedex beeped when it came up with the level gain information.
"Your level 53 1/2 aggron," it read, "has successfully defeated a wild level 54 jynx. Your aggron gains 1 1/2 levels. Your aggron is now level 55."
Meanwhile, a snover hopped up towards Zach. He smiled. "<You're a trainer!>" he squeaked, hopping a bit. "<You're really tall! YAY!>"

Huur raised herself up to two legs, sighing in relief. <Finally. Man, she was annoying.> She twitched at hearing the snover, almost fearing another jynx, until she looked and saw that it (thankfully!) wasn't such a horrible thing.
Zach blinked. He'd never been called tall before, for obvious reasons. "...Really...Tall?" Staring at the ice pokemon, he continued to blink in confusion. "Yes...I'm a trainer. Is there some reason that is good? Or is it bad?"

The snover grinned. "<No, that's fine! Wanna battle? I like battling!>"
Meanwhile, a snorunt hopped over, eyeing the party with a wary gaze. In another direction, two sparring sneasel noticed the group and dashed over, peering at the goings-on from behind a rock.
