The rich jungles of the Exegg Islands were a bit farther north than some would expect, but that didn't stop the vibrant forest from thriving. It wasn't like the traditional jungles like Hoenn, but it had its own unique spin that managed to survive the yearly winter chills. And life thrived here. The entire island was abuzz with chatter from the trees as birds flew between them, other pokemon moving through the underbrush and along the sands. It was as if this place never had a Rapture, the pokemon settling in right away. But everyone knew that, for the longest time, this island was quiet save for the sound of wind rustling the plants and the vines slowly climbing up the trees. The boat docked at the wooden pier. The waves were bright and deep blue as they lapped at the golden, sandy shore. The entire jungle of the tree islands was outstretched, the boat ready to transport between each one should someone desire. There were some old bridges as well, but... the years took their toll on them. Boat was safer. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

❂ Rebecca Cardinal Rebecca took a deep breath as she stepped off the boat, a smile crossing her face as she looked out upon the island -- and especially upon the birds flying between its trees. She bent down and placed Galla on the sand at her feet; the Torchic had been restless for the entire boat ride, so Rebecca wanted to let her blow off some extra energy. Galla promptly began to run in circles around Rebecca, cheeping happily. "Me too," Rebecca said, starting up the beach towards the trees. "It's a beautiful day, isn't it? Let's see what we can find."

Day || Clear The birds of the Deprin region were fascinating things to watch, especially as they jumped between the trees. To anyone that didn't know anything about birds, it may look like they were just flying around. But to someone with some knowledge, it was clearly a battle for territory and the best grub-eating spots. One of these birds was the fastest in the sky, darting to and fro and even in between the palm leaves as she chased off her competitors with expert precision. Her dual shaped tail was helping her with these aerial maneuvers. Her chirping was incredulous as she finally succeeded in defending her section of trees and fallen logs. Except for one other, flightless bird. Oh, how pathetic. A bird that couldn't fly? Seriously? The Taillow didn't care either way. Her feeding grounds were under attack by the jogging orange thing! She flew down, and landed on a higher branch from an odd looking tree as she spread her wings with a defiant chirp, eyes narrowing. She shook slightly as she studied the Torchic. Weaknesses spotted! She was ready and poised to attack should the fellow bird (even though they were flightless) not listen to her warnings chirps. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

❂ Rebecca Cardinal "Oh, hello!" Rebecca said to the Taillow as the bird landed in front of her. She frowned at the Pokemon's aggressive posture. "It's all right; we're not here to fight. We just want to -- "Too late! Galla can also see the Taillow's aggressive posture -- and, more importantly, interpret the Taillow's arrogant call. Oh, you think you're all that, then? Just because you can fly? Galla isn't usually a temperamental Pokemon -- after all, she has to get along with Mimida. In truth, she isn't so much offended by the Taillow's disdain as amused. But that doesn't mean she won't jump at the chance to prove the other bird wrong! Running through the sandy dirt, Galla kicks a cloud of it at Taillow.

Day || Clear The Taillow expected the attack. Just like all land-dwelling birds, the Torchic only knew how to kick up sand and not anything about tactical battle. The Taillow proved something along bravery to the other birds watching the battle as she dives towards the ground and swirls, spreading her wings as she kicks up her own sand behind her, heading straight into the dust cloud kicked up by the orange offender. She then extended her talons and aimed right for that weak spot she had spotted, hitting hard with her talons before turning on a dime with her tails and heading back up into the sky, returning once more to her lower branch with her wings outstretched. She shook her head once, ignoring the stinging sand in her eyes as she lets out another defensive cry. Get off her territory! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

❂ Rebecca Cardinal Oof! That hurt! Galla staggers back, and Rebecca can't help crying out a little at the hard blow to her Pokemon. But Galla shakes her feathers and refocuses. All right, so you want to hit hard. Galla had intended to go easy on the Taillow, to make this a friendly battle, but apparently that just wasn't in the cards. She looked to Rebecca for her next move. "Um ... Ember, Galla! And be careful!" Rebecca clasped her hands in front of her chest, nervous about the outcome of the battle. Galla already looked pretty beat up, after all, and that Taillow's claws were sharp!

Day || Clear Eyes narrowed, time slowing down for the queen of the skies. The humans orders, the way the Torchic readied to billow fire... the Taillow darted again, sticking close to the ground this time as she focused less on a firm attack to the core and more of a cutting attack to the side, her goal to dodge the flames. But she was not quick enough as the embers scorched her tail feathers. She huffed at the damage, quickly darting about through the air again and landing on her branch again, giving another warning cry. It was obvious who was going to succeed in this outcome! She just wanted them off of her territory! It was hard enough competing for enough bugs here with all the competition! She was not going to share! Getting into such a battle was not her pure goal, but since it had come down to it she was not going to go easy! Her feathers puffed up in this challenge, eyes moving to the human. Maybe the biped would understand this! The Taillow had to protect her hunting grounds! Food was scarce enough! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

❂ Rebecca Cardinal "Galla!" Rebecca cried, seeing her Torchic hurt and stumbling. "That's enough," she said firmly, raising Galla's Pokeball. "Come back."But the Taillow still looked aggressive ... Reluctantly, Rebecca reached for the other Pokeball she'd brought. "OK, Mimida. Ready to battle?"In truth, Rebecca didn't want to continue this fight at all. But what choice did she have? Even if the Taillow had retreated somewhat, Rebecca couldn't just stand there. She knew enough about Pokemon behavior to understand that wild Pokemon rarely stopped once a battle began; as little as she wanted to put her Pokemon in danger, if Rebecca didn't send out a Pokemon, the Taillow might attack her. With a screech, Mimida emerged from her Pokeball, fixing her eyes on the Taillow. Oh, so Galla couldn't handle this one? Well, Mimida would just have to make up for it.

Day || Clear The taillow had darted for the torchic once more, claws tucked against the soft downy feathers of her belly as she prepared the ridges of her wings for a firm, strong attack--except the torchic soon vanished in a beam of red light and another pokemon appeared. A second bird! The taillow wasn't prepared for the sudden switch and spun on a dime, using her slightly signed tail feathers to direct her movement as she darted up and back to her branch, studying the new pokemon. A pidgey, yes... good in flight, but not as strong in ocean winds like a taillow was. That didn't mean they were any less dangerous. Now this was a fellow aviator that the taillow could respect as a combatant! With that in mind, she still ruffled up her feathers and narrowed her eyes. She was not sharing her hunting grounds with any new arrivals! The taillow didn't know what this human had planned, but allowing anyone to take her hard-earned food was not it! The other birds watched from the trees as the island's fastest aerial dog fighter continued to face down the human and her pokemon. Violence wasn't preferred but... what choice was there? This was life and death, food or starvation! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

(reminder!! our new battle rules do allow trainers to talk/action their way out of battles! it's more table-topped base now and no one is really locked into a fight with a wild pokemon when one begins as long as you are clever enough, but its your choice!! even if you disengage from battle and not flee-flee you will still have a chance to capture. just wanted to give a heads up since it has changed!!)

Rebecca & - Mimida--- In the air, Mimida circled the Taillow warily, waiting -- reluctantly -- for Rebecca's command. As much as Mimida liked being called in to battle where Galla had failed, she also knew that Galla was stronger than she was. This would be a challenge, certainly. "Wait a moment," Rebecca said, stepping forward. Quickly, Mimida darted between her trainer and the Taillow, just in case the wild Pokemon got any ideas. Meanwhile, Rebecca held out her hands in a placating gesture. "Look, we don't really want to fight. We're just out here to meet new Pokemon. You're very strong, though! Maybe we could just leave you alone?"Rebecca had her doubts about how well Mimida might succeed against the Taillow, as much as she wanted to believe in her Pokemon, and she didn't want their expedition to end here. She hoped the bird would listen to reason ... or even ... "Or," Rebecca said, slowly removing a Pokeball from her bag, "you could come with us ... We'd love to have you along. I can help you get even stronger!"If she'd known of the Taillow's concerns for food, she would have promised her all the snacks she could eat, but sadly, Rebecca was not psychic. She rolled the Pokeball gently in the Taillow's direction. "If you want to come with us, you can use the Pokeball ... or we can just get out of your hair. Er, feathers."

Day || Clear Now this was a surprise. The taillow didn't expect the human to get involved, much less stop her pidgey from trying anything stupid. The bird was cautious, yes, but she wasn't a fool. Humans had come to the island before and they all tried the same thing. To battle her, to catch her. They always fled with their non-existent tails between their legs, unprepared for her ferocity in defending her feeding grounds. But humans must mean food judging by the pidgey's healthy looking feathers. Food meant no longer having to worry about defending a battle ground and she could focus on the important things like getting strong enough to finally evolve, to become master of the ocean's breezes. It was an interesting deal. The pokemon was still and quiet for a long time, debating her choices. She could stay here on the island and continue to fight day in and day out or give this human and her other birds a chance. Maybe they could learn something from a true survivor like her. As if to illustrate her talent, she darted for the pokeball and kicked it up into the air, using her wings to keep it balanced in the sky as she slapped it back towards the human, darting after it again to catch it before it got too close to her or the pidgey, holding it in her claws delicately before tapping the button with her beak. And in she went. The ball fell onto the sand and rocked once, twice... then it clicked. After so long, Rebecca had finally caught another bird! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Rebecca almost flinched at the Taillow's aerial acrobatics, assuming that the bird was unhappy with the offer and would throw the Pokeball back in her face. But no, the Taillow entered the ball in an impressive feat of agility. Grinning, Rebecca ran to pick up the ball and tucked it into her pocket. "Wow, that was amazing," she said. Then she looked down at Galla's Pokeball. "I mean, could have gone better, but she was very impressive.""Idge," Mimida chirped resentfully. She hadn't even gotten a chance to show that Taillow what for! And Rebecca thought that was a good outcome? "OK, let's get you all healed up." Rebecca brought Galla back out to give her a potion. Mimida sullenly returned to her Pokeball. "Then we'll keep moving."

Day || Clear Surviving on an island filled with predatory birds and other things was not easy for the bug pokemon. He twitched his own little wingers nervously as he waited for death to arrive from the skies like every day. Birds... birds everywhere! It was horrible! And the ledyba could spot a fire/flying type from a mile away. The fear overtook him and he made to make a choice: fight or flight? Oh Arceus don't make him choose! In terror, the ledyba rose from his nearby hiding spot and let out a shrill screech at the bird, the sounds more disorienting than a tropical storm! Then he spotted the human. Oh no a double threat! The bug was clearly panicked. This was it! This is how he dies! Oh, Arceus, save him! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

❂ Rebecca Cardinal "Ahh!" Rebecca covers her ears as Ledyba's screech lances through her head. Ouch! She didn't even spot the Pokemon yet, too disoriented by the noise it made. "Chi!" Almost as impaired, Galla still managed to locate the source of the noise that was hurting Rebecca (and herself). Hey, doing damage to Galla in battle was fair game, but hurting Rebecca? This thing had to go down. Whirling on the Ledyba, Galla breathed out a stream of flame.

Day || Clear The sudden lash of fire was the exact opposite of what the Ledyba wanted! The bug took the scorches like a champ, though, and quickly reacted with glowing eyes as he tucked his weird little bug-hands into himself and then let them out in a quick movement, glowing stars heading straight for the Torchic! Some hit the nearby trees and shrubs, but the majority landed right on target! It was the lebyba's strongest move against the predatory birds here: a move that could never miss! It was the perfect defense against these birds that were only bent on murder and mayhem and death! And other bird-minded things! The feathery fiends! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!
