Rebecca & - Mimida--- daytime // sunny // Diell StormcallerIt was a beautiful, sunny day in Mistveil. Rebecca sat in a park, on the edge of a fountain, enjoying the sun on her skin and the brisk chill in the air. The fountain wasn't running, but at the moment it was just shut off for the winter -- this year had been the first time in decades it had actually run, with Pokemon workers helping replace the old, corroded pipes. A symbol of the new Deprin, news reports had called it. Rebecca thought it was neat, even without water. As Rebecca contemplated the fountain, Mimida swooped back and forth in the sky above her, flying circles around the Pidoves that had taken up residence here in Mistveil. Glancing up, Rebecca remembered that she needed to catch a Pidove for her team, though she knew the law wouldn't let her capture one in the city itself. But how far did the law extend on the city's outskirts? Putting her purse down beside her, Rebecca fished out her phone and started looking up the regulations.

It was a really nice day. The kind of day that left Diell antsy and wanting to move. But he was here in the city for one major reason: He needed some money. Now, don't get him wrong, he could do this the legal way. Maybe. But he had a good share of arrest charges under his belt, and he was fairly sure he had some minor outstanding charges against him. And he'd been in this game long enough to know that most people knew who he was back home. That being said he was rather content with his lot. And with just... Skimming the tops off some purses and wallets. Or taking them outright. Especially now that he had a partner in crime. Maybe Aquila, who wasn't particularly a... big help when it came to stealing at the moment, wasn't a good choice for his current career. Thor however was perched on his trainer's shoulder, and was a much better choice for such actions. The small electric type was very fast, and very good at what he did. Which was get into trouble. Constantly. Just with a little more training... and he'd become a not so surprisingly very good pickpocket. So off he was sent to go scout out a good target and get them some lunch money. Diell had miscalculated how much he'd need to buy enough non-perishables to get through his travels for the next area, so they needed just a liiiiittle more for him to be able to feed himself and his team until they could get to the next town. Thor, very quickly, came upon the unattended purse. He paused under the bench and looked up at her, then slowly moved up. And pushed his whole head in the purse to fish for the money.
OOC: Team includes Aquila (Sigilyph, level 5), Thor (Pachirisu, level 1), Diana (Rockruff, Level 1) He probably won't actually battle with Diana because she's precious baby still, but she's here. Aquila // Level 5 // female Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 16 | 20 | 17 | 21 |

Ability: Run Away - Pachirisu can flee wild Pokemon battles without fail Held item: none Moves: Bide, Growl Diana // Level 1 // Female Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 9 | 10 | 8 | 12 |
Ability: Keen Eye Held item: None Moves: Leer, Tackle

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Rebecca was engrossed in her phone, but not so engrossed that she didn't notice the movement beside her. For a moment she assumed Mimida had come in to land; she turned, smiling at her Pokemon ... only to discover that it wasn't her Pokemon at all. "Hey, that's not for you," Rebecca said. She assumed this was a curious wild Pokemon, not a thief, though the encounter still worried her -- she knew Electric Pokemon could be a bit unpredictable and very painful to encounter. Moving slowly as to not startle the Pachirisu, she grabbed the strap of her purse. "I know there's interesting stuff in there, but that's mine. If you come out, though, I'll give you some treats."Hearing Rebecca's voice -- and the anxiety in her tone -- Mimida swooped down and landed menacingly behind the Pachirisu, but she didn't strike ... yet.

Thor's tail twitched when he was spoken to, clearly listening. Oooh, treats? He did like treats. But Diell had also promised treats, and Diell was his trainer. So he pulled his head out only after he found the little green pieces of paper his trainer called money. And looked so proud of himself as he smiled up at the nice lady. "Pachi!!" His tail twitched again as the little electric type held his trophies close to his little chest. From his experience with Di, people usually tried to take them back if they caught him. But most didn't ever hurt him which was good. What wasn't good was when they beat up his trainer.
Hmm.
He hoped that she wouldn't try and beat up Diell. Thor liked his trainer very much. And Diell liked the little green pieces of paper that helped him buy treats! So Thor would bring his Diell the pieces of paper! Even if the lady wanted to give him treats instead.

Rebecca & - Mimida--- "Wait, you want ... money?" The Pachirisu's electric abilities made Rebecca too nervous for her to actually physically stop it from going through her purse. Also, the fact that it seemed to know what it was looking for baffled her. It took a substantial amount of money from her wallet -- certainly more than she could afford to lose. "Hey, you can't have that!"Spurred into action, she started to reach for the Pachirisu. At the same time, Mimida pounced on the little Pokemon -- not attacking, exactly, but trying to grab him with her talons. [googlefont=Martel][googlefont=Cookie]

Thor's entire tail fur floofed out in distress when the trainer reached for him and he turned to bolt. Unfortunately for him, and secretly for her, Mimida could rather easily get her claws around his shoulders and pin him to the bench with a cry of distress. That grew somewhat louder steadily as his distress grew. Nonononono, he usually didn't get attacked for this, he needed his trainer. He needed his Diell. Thankfully for the little squirrel, someone clearly had been listening for his cries. It didn't take particularly long at all, mayhaps she'd simply been patrolling the area, for a heavy feeling to overtake the entire group. An unnatural amount of gravity that settled like a smothering blanket, coupled with the glowing of a certain... strange pokemon's gaze. She floated up slowly, wings outstretched and flared to make herself appear larger. About the size of a human, with a black and green main body that was vaguely round. Topped in a strange looking... was that a head? it was hard to tell. It was certainly an eye, which was narrowed with easily identifiable anger and crackling with psychic energy. Two broad yellow wings bordered either side of her body, ending in bands of blue and red. "Sigi! Ly-Ly-ly!" She swayed back and forth, a challenge clearly. No one hurt her Thor, not even when he was stealing. Gravity was just the warning. If they hurt even a tuft of fur, this guardian was going to be livid.
OOC: Yeah, it's battle time. Mimida has the higher speed, so she'll technically move first, Gravity doesn't do much in this situation. [Prevents moves like Fly and Bounce and the Ability Levitate for 5 turns.] Except maybe spook them. Aquila // Level 5 // female Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 16 | 20 | 17 | 21 |
Ability: Magic Guard - Sigilyph is protected from indirect damage, including weather damage, recoil damage, and damage from the poison and burn status conditions Held item: none Moves: Confusion, Gust, Gravity, Psycho shift

Rebecca & - Mimida--- "Oh no." Rebecca winced. "Hey, it's OK, we're not going to hurt you. I just need my money back."Playing the bad cop to Rebecca's good, Mimida clacked her beak to mean Or else. She didn't release Thor, either, not even when Aquila's Gravity rose around them; in fact, her claws tightened on the little thief. Rebecca turned at the sensation to see the oddest Pokemon she'd ever encountered floating in front of her. "Hello? Uh ... " Clearly the creature was not happy with current events, but Rebecca didn't know how to interpret its call. "Is this Pachirisu ... with you? Do you have a trainer I could talk to? He really can't steal like this."Mimida turned her head to look at Aquila without releasing Thor. She wasn't super intimidated by the new arrival, honestly. But she couldn't fight and hold the thief at the same time ...
ooc: no attack yet! [googlefont=Martel][googlefont=Cookie]

Aquila narrowed her eye at the bird when it tightened its grip on her Thor. "Sigilyph." The tone was dark as she swayed back and forth. "Sigi! Si-Sigi!" The little head turned away for just a moment. As if looking for the trainer who they spoke of. When she couldn't immediately spot him, she glanced back at Thor, who's cries of distress were growing again now that he really really couldn't move.
But at least it was a kind of signal for the dark-haired man to go find his pokemon. It didn't take very long for footsteps to ring out, and for Diell to come running to Aquila's side. He seemed a little out of breath, and had a bruise across his face, but he was smiling soothing. "Thor, Thor shh it's ok bud. We're here, We're here little guy." His voice was warm, unworried. "And you relax Aquila, You don't want to make things worse." Those words were whispered to her, but it didn't stop the glare from being aimed at Mimida.
"What seems to be the problem here, Ma'am. That's my Pachirisu, and I'd appreciate if you'd let him go. Aquila here gets a tad overprotective." He had one hand laid on her... shoulder? Hard to define physical features, but she floated a bit closer. "Especially when it comes to my other pokemon."
OOC: Hmm, there may end up not being a true fight, should this go well for them. We'll see

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Rebecca turned to the newcomer with relief. Usually, she would rather interact with Pokemon than humans, but when it came to two strange, hostile, potentially dangerous Pokemon, she was glad their trainer was here to defuse the situation. "Your Pachirisu took some money from my wallet," she explained, gesturing to the bills clutched in Thor's little paws. "My Pidgey just wanted to make sure he didn't run off with it. If he gives it back, she'll let him go."Would she? Mimida gave Aquila a harsh glare, unimpressed by the Sigilyph's attempt to threaten her. But fine, she supposed she could release the little rat with no harm done. As long as he gave the money back. [googlefont=Martel][googlefont=Cookie]

Diell's eyes flicked over the situation. The bird holding his very distressed electric type down. The worried lady. And the large amount of money Thor had pilfered. His gaze softened as he saw the big eyes on his pokemon. Thor had tried!! He'd tried very hard, but the lady's pokemon was mean and scary and he didn't like them not one bit. "Pa...Pachi...?" Had he done a bad...?
"Shh, Thor, it's ok buddy. Go on, do as she said. No one's going to be mad." He could never be mad at that face. But he'd already gotten one beating in the past hour, he didn't want to have his pokemon hurt too. "I apologize, Miss, I never mean for him to cause trouble. He's just a bit... adventurous." Following orders more like, not that Thor didn't like doing this for his Diell. "And he knows that money buys his snacks." He attempted for a humorous chuckle, finally having caught a hold of himself.
Though it didn't seem to impress his partner, who eyed him. Or more like eyed his black eye, not that anyone could tell by looking at her. She was just so... strange. Had hovered to be right in front of her trainer, one wing blocking his chest from view as she swayed back and forth. If Thor wasn't returned quickly, she was gonna lose it. She could feel it. Thankfully for the little squirrel, if disappointingly, he would drop the money. Diell had told him to! So he would! Even if he tried to hide even a single note so that when he ran he'd still have something to give his trainer.

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Rebecca scooped up the money Thor dropped with a slightly stressed smile. "Oh, that's OK! No harm done in the end. But you should really train him not to do that ... It'll get him in big trouble someday."Though Rebecca didn't notice Thor holding back that last bill, Mimida definitely did. She fixed the Pachirisu with a steely glare, about to shake him till he gave everything back. But Rebecca put a hand on her Pidgey's back. "It's OK, Mimida. Thank you for looking out for me, but you can let him go now.""Idge!" Mimida complained. If she could talk, she'd call Thor out, but without the power of speech, she couldn't think of a good way to bring Rebecca's attention to the last stolen note. Except ... Without releasing Thor, she pecked at his paws lightly, trying to get Rebecca -- and the other trainer -- to notice that he hadn't given everything back. [googlefont=Martel][googlefont=Cookie]

Diell offered Rebecca a warm, more relaxed, smile. "I deeply apologize for his behavior. He's still young, and you know how it goes." He soothed. "Aquila here tries her best to keep him in line, but it's not always easy."
Though while he noticed that his pokemon hadn't been completely honest, he wasn't going to exactly call the little guy out. He was trying his hardest, and that's what mattered! He did, however, shoot Thor a soothing look. The little squirrel was still very stressed, trying to squirm out of her claws. "Pachi! Chiiiii!" He wanted to go hide in Diell's nice warm, safe jacket. "Pachiiiiii!"
And Aquila... well, she'd noticed. she was watching. and she didn't seem pleased, by the way she floated closer to the scene in encouragement for the bird to let up her friend. Even with Diell patting her shoulder to tell her to back off, she was very intent on the small pair of pokemon.
