So it was that she found herself back at the Steppes again today, an umbrella open over her head in an attempt to keep dry from the driving rain. Thunder rumbled occasionally and lightning struck the exposed iron spires, lighting up the sky. <Why did we have to come when it was raining?> Maestro grouched from his usual spot atop her head. At his words, Cinder cast him a glare from where she walked beside Tam, sharing the umbrella. <Oh shut it, bug,> she snarked. <At least you’re staying dry!> ENTERING THE TALL GRASS! When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the ~~ATTACK~~ button to weaken it! But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 10% or below, up to 2 players may spend 25 BYTES to catch it here. You may also simply ~~retreat~~ to end the encounter. Retreating succeeds automatically. Tamara

Before long, the tables turned and it was the fire-type that was left laughing, as the wind caught Tam’s umbrella and whipped it inside out!

Tam giggled, fighting with the umbrella in an attempt to convince it to stay right way out! Maestro, on the other hand, found no amusement in the situation at all. <ARGH!> He shouted, shaking his little nubbin feet in an attempt to dislodge the water than now soaked him through. <I’m soaked! It’s horrible!> spawn reset

Tam jumped with a startled gasp, before grinning in recognition. “Oh!” She hopped on the spot excitedly. Releasing Decibelle, she pointed towards the wild pokemon. “Belle! Belle!” She urged. “Is that a Klink?!” It certainly looked like the description she had given!

Yes, dearie,> she replied once her mind caught up. <That’s a Klink.> “Whoo!” The dancer whooped, before turning to grin in the Combusken’s direction. “You up for this one, Cinder?” The starter grumbled a little as she moved - <at least you used my actual name this time> - but complied without otherwise complaining. This couldn’t be worse than the Duraludon fights after all, right?

With a single Flamethrower, the metal of the Klink’s body glowed first orange and then red as it heated. Within moments of the gout of flame fading out, the opponent was on the floor. “Well. That was easier than expected.” Tam remarked bluntly, surprised. <Can we leave now?> Maestro whined, the resigned tone in his voice suggesting he already knew what the answer would be.
