The air is a little muggy today, a far cry from the traditional dry and dusty air of the Asper settlement. Perhaps it's simply the fact that she's playing super early morning, that causes this morning dew to grace the world? Or perhaps it's something more interesting, like the town's obvious gothic nature?

Regardless, she couldn't sleep. She had a big project coming up, and it was definitely a bit stressful. Instead of sitting at home and managing her stress naturally, she decided a walk would do her some good.

A proper walk. Not just wheeling herself down the sidewalk, an actual walk.

With a soft smile on her lips, Laguna pressed forwards as she walked through the small settlement with her eyes scanning the buildings around her. Just what had people been constructing recently? She had hardly spent any time here, unfortunately.

The Noibat was proving to be a larger nuisance than it first appeared to be. It dodged the Avalanche for the most part, although some smaller ice rocks did strike its wings.

In response, it seemingly puffed up its cheeks as a Supersonic blast of sound was launched towards Glacia!

The Bergmite instinctively threw up a Protect, but only after it became rattled from the noise. They glanced over at their trainer for guidance, who was admittedly a bit distracted cursing at the annoying bat.

"Just wanted to have a walk in peace! Gods damn it all. Glacia, Icy Wind!" The Bergmite chirped out in recognition, immediately swirling about a freezing cold breeze to chill the Noibat to the bone.

The bat shrieked out in surprise as the Bergmite was surprisingly quick, but it had a few tricks up its own sleeves! Or, well, Bats didn't have sleeves, but maybe up its giant ears?

Regardless, it suddenly bit down on Glacia's spines, and began to use Absorb, healing its own health back!

"Hey! Screw you!!" She bonked the Noibat on the head with a Pokeball, only for it to bounce off. Worth a try.

"Glacia, are you alright?" The Bergmite nodded in response, though it was clearly worse for wear. "Rain Dance! Let's soak this flying menace!"

The Bergmite immediately began to twirl as a sudden downpour struck, the strength of it making it incredibly hard to fly.

This was no longer just about vengeance.

This wasn't even just about sending a message. It was almost too personal. This Noibat had embarrassed her and her Pokemon twice now, and there was nothing she could have done then. But now. Things were different. She had upgraded all of her Pokemons HP and she was ready to rumble.

The Noibat was on its familiar perch, but it looked... tired. Like even it didn't want to be here anymore. The joy of its mischief had quickly vanished as this trainer returned again and again.

And yet, Laguna couldn't help but oddly admire it. It certainly had proven its strength. But this time, he would be going home with her. Someone out there would love a gremlin such as this.

"Glacia?" The trainer spoke, looking over at their foe.  "Take them down. Its time we end this fight. Icy Wind."

The Noibat was entirely unprepared for the freezing breeze this time, slumping over on its perch as it tried to fight back.

Laguna simply readied her golden pokeball, and tossed.
