<How about Snowball?> Decibelle suggested, and Tam hummed.
“He’s not really a ball though, is he?” She disputed, shaking her head, careful not to send the subject of this discussion flying. “Nah, it needs to be something that makes sense.”
<Snowdrop?> The Audino tried next, unpeterbed.
He-who-has-not-yet-been-named snorted derisively. <Look, I might be small and cute now, but one day I’ll evolve into a majestic Frosmoth,> he pointed out imperiously. <No self-respecting Frosmoth would go by Snowdrop!> He sounded wholly offended by the suggestion. spawn reset

Now as she moved through the Surge Steppes with an as yet unnamed Snom on her head and Decibelle at her side, she hummed absently under her breath. All of a sudden, she spoke, seemingly apropos of nothing.
“You need a name, little Snom!” The little dual type was actually a pokemon whose species name she’d already known, going into this. It was memeably cute, and she’d been simply giddy when it had been a reward from the Tree of Worms. "Any ideas?"

“Oh neat!” The teen responded cheerfully, watching as the metal beast began to sway. “I think we’ve almost got it!” She called out gleefully, grinning at the way Taylor was latched onto its neck like a limpet. “You okay up there?”
Cinder had been about to let loose with a Flamethrower, but the fact that the other trainer was now on the Duraludon’s back meant that prooooobably wasn’t the best idea. Instead, she stuck with an Aerial Ace; there were already two Pokemon using flying type attacks, why not add one more?

“What the hell even is it!?” Tamara demanded through probably inappropriately timed laughter as she backed up a couple more paces, sending out two of her own Pokémon. A Combusken and an Impidimp took to the field, and she was suddenly very glad she’d expanded her team past just her starter - while Cinder was decently strong, this seemed a little like a case of the more hands, the better!
The pair flew immediately into action, Cinder spun, whipping out with a vicious Double Kick, while Imp attempted to sink his teeth into the overgrown lighter. Not the most effective of attacks, but he had the spirit!

The message didn’t come with any details. No personal message at all, actually. Rather, it popped up on her UI as a generic call for assistance.
“Ooooh,” Tam grinned, curious. Without pausing to consider the potential consequences for even a moment, she hit accept.
“AGH!”
Her scream came the moment she loaded in, getting a face full of giant, metallic, vaguely phallic-shaped opponent. It roared in her face as she leapt away, eyes wide and blinking in shock at the aggression. "What the-"

It was time for a break from Birchwild Grove. Tamara wasn't easily frightened or unsettled, but she had to admit, while drinking and dancing in that hidden grove had been like something out of a fairy tale, the something that had arrived at the end of the evening had been an entirely different matter.
She still didn't even know what exactly it had been. The Impidimp and Audino - now named Imp and Decibelle, respectively - had ended up returning to UNOVR proper with her but had been surprisingly close-lipped on the matter. ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

<Almost there!> The Imp panted, winded from the headlong dash towards escape.
“What is that?” Tam gasped, dashing a hand over the back of her neck as though trying to claw off the feeling of impending doom. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t help, and she shivered.
<Later!> Their impromptu guide insisted, dashing ahead, nimbly dodging trees and shrubs.
Finally, to everyone’s great relief, the fairy ring appeared. With a running leap, they threw themselves bodily into it, the world around them warping and stretching as they were blessedly returned to Birchwild Grove proper.

Perhaps she would have lingered, frozen in fear, too paralysed by dread to move, if it hadn’t been for the ever-reliable Cinder. Snatching her hand, the Combusken dragged her away, back into the trees through which they’d arrived and towards the fairy ring they’d hopped into to get here.
As they hustled away from the clearing, a sinister presence seemed to loom large behind them, the hair on the back of Tamara’s neck standing on end. The Impidimp from before was with them, darting ahead and leading the way through the otherwise impossible to navigate forest.

For a moment, the Audino didn’t answer. For a moment, there was silence. For a moment, all was still. And then…
<Run.>
The command was issued in a voice filled with dread. It sent a ripple of unease down Tamara’s spine, and her stomach fell like a stone. As one, the assembled fae turned to face the trees, heads bowing as though in deference or respect, but the shiver of pregnant tension made it quite clear that this respect was won by fear, not benevolence.

She was just throwing her head back to laugh aloud at something her current dance partner said, when a chill settled around the glade. A shiver was torn from the teen’s slight frame, and silence fell. Everybody stilled, unease drawing the air tight like a bow, and for the first time since arriving, Tamara began to feel afraid.
“What’s going on?” She murmured uneasily, her voice seeming to echo around the clearing in spite of the low, hushed tone.

“Of course,” she trilled in response, much to Cinder’s displeasure. But then, since Cinder seemed to be displeased by everything about this current situation, she rather dismissed the fact. Placing her hand in the Audino’s offered one, she stepped gracefully away from the fire-type.
A new song started up and smoothly, the pair flowed into motion. It was something of a waltz, though the melody was ethereal and otherworldly. Still, the rhythm was easily enough to move to, and they flowed around the glade gracefully, the Audino moving with far more grace than their stature suggested they'd be able to manage.

The obscuring wall of feathers couldn’t last forever though, and eventually, it fell. As the current song came to an end, Tam spun on the spot, glorying in the wild music and movement and sheer spirit of the place. Her eyes sparkled and head spun a little, and finally she came to a stop.
Only for someone to step up beside her, resting a light hand on her elbow. <May I cut in?> Came a gentle voice. She glanced down, beaming to see plump, pink and cream coloured pokemon with bright blue eyes. It honestly wasn’t that much shorter than she was herself, and she recognised something of a kindred spirit in those eyes.

<Tamara, we need to leave,> The Combusken hissed, urgency brittle in her tone. <This isn’t safe…>
“Oh Cinder,” Tamara sighed, but it wasn’t an exhalation of frustration; rather happiness. “You worry far too much!”
The starter’s own sigh certainly wasn’t one of bliss. It would seem she would have no luck convincing the teen to leave any time soon. The best she could do would be to keep her safe while they were here. Not liking the hungry expressions on a few of the assembled partygoers, her narrowed her eyes, throwing herself into the motions of the dance, using a feather dance to lift up a whirlwind of plumage around them, shielding her trainer.
