Furrlicity's ears were still ringing from his last encounter. Wandering the trees, he stopped and took a deep breath. The Swablu with the pill box hat was still on his head, now looking perfectly demure and sweet after yelling so loud she killed a pokemon.

"Did I ever give you a name?"

< I don't believe so. > The Swablu answered back sweetly.

"Hm. I'll think of one." His names had to be unique and interesting. They also 100% were easy to remember, no matter what redheads like Buzzster Hooperham might think or say.

Unlike the last pokemon, the Deerling was made of sturdier stuff. After shaking off the attack, it narrow it's eyes at the two of them. A hoof dug into the dirt as it took pose- then charged with a Tackle.

Furrlicity screamed like a bitch and took off running to scale the nearest tree he could. Kitty claws did little to help him scale the birchwood. Since his Swablu was on his head, he was instantly a target instead. He yowled as the Deerling butt into the tree again.

"You didn't kill it!"

< I did my best. > She sighed again, unconcerned with her Trainer almost getting his butt beat in by a wild pokemon. Only after he almost shook her off by accident did she sigh and spread her soft cotton wings, floating upwards to battle proper.

< I'll do better this time. > She promised before swooping down, trying to Peck at the Deerling.

"Can'tholdoncan'tholdoncan'tholdon"

Furrlicity slid down another half an inch.

Then his bark gave way under his weight, sending him crashing to the ground.

Right on top of the Deerling.

It shifted and didn't seem to move from under him.

< Oh, my > Fluttering from the near miss, the Swablu glanced at the Deerling before landing back on Furrlicity's head.
