their PETAL BLIZZARD is met with a PETAL DANCE. through the thick of it stands a single cherubi, shiny in color, seemingly unaffected by the powerful PETAL BLIZZARD.[break][break]

laughing, matias looks over at his flabebe.[break][break]

"you gonna take that?"[break][break]

huffing, flabebe floats forward to meet the cherubi, bumping heads only to start yelling in pokemon. to break up the fight, matias offers them each a berry before recalling his flabebe.[break][break]

"you good, little cherubi?"[break][break]

nodding, cherubi hops onto virizion's back.[break][break]

"alright. off we go, then."

even though this togepi is slightly different in color, matias barely notices it. he has to squint to really see the difference.[break][break]

"i think maybe you're just a bit tan from the sun."[break][break]

reaching off to the side, he plucks a large leaf off a tree and offers it to the little togepi at his feet.[break][break]

"here. to use as an umbrella."[break][break]

the togepi grasps it with both its stubs, holding it up as a shadow casts over its egg-head.[break][break]

"there you go!"

too busy gushing over the cuteness of the togepi, matias doesn't see the POISON FANG coming until it's too late. thankfully, virizion is quick with her PROTECT.[break][break]

a pink nidoran crashes into the barrier, fangs dripping in poison as its TOXIC looks to seep through.[break][break]

"you nasty bitch."[break][break]

but that aggression is exactly what matias is after.[break][break]

so, after a swift SACRED SWORD, the nidoran falls into a well-timed safari ball.

even before matias has a chance to dust dirt off the safari ball of the newly acquired nidoran-f, another pokemon announces their presence with a sharp STEEL WING. it shoots past matias, barely missing his shoulder as he lunges to the side.[break][break]

"YOU BITCH."[break][break]

after a tch, matias looks over to virizion who's quick on the draw with her SACRED SWORD. even with the type disadvantage, she brings the fletchling down and into a safari ball.[break][break]

"thank you."

walking a little off the path, matias reaches up to pluck a persim berry before turning back to toss it at virizion. the berry soars for a brief moment before being yoinked and chomped on.[break][break]

"any good?"[break][break]

how noble of matias to offer the first berry to virizion. in truth, he had done it just so he wouldn't have to taste a bad berry, but he's glad that she nods![break][break]

"nice. i'll get some more for our snacks."[break][break]

matias is so engaged with picking berries that he doesn't notice the azurill that bounces by.

that's the one.[break][break]

"hello, ponyta."[break][break]

how he's come this far without ever catching a ponyta surprises him. the rapidash he has in his posession isn't even his to begin with. so, naturally, matias smiles as he approaches the fire-type.[break][break]

"berry? they're virizion's favorite but i'll share."[break][break]

virizion huffs but does nothing as matias offers one to the ponyta. the fire-type approaches slowly, blue flames burning brightly.[break][break]

"there you go."
