Tamara could have sworn sheâd selected Birchwild Grove. NOT the Surge Steppes. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously as she turned on the spot and squinted out at the rainy landscape.
âGood job I brought my umbrella, I guess,â she mused, before setting out to explore. In fairness, there wasnât anything specific she was after in Birchwild anymore, now that sheâd got her hands on a Vulpix, so it made sense to return here to search for more steel-types. Hell, sheâd even upgraded her HP, so with any luck, sheâd be a bit less squishy out here than usual! ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

âCome on, Maestro!â Tamara called out in what she hoped was an encouraging tone. âYou can do it, buddy!â He had it, right? Itâd wound his pride if she stepped in, now!
<Heeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!>
Okay, maybe a wounded pride would be better than a wounded body.
Dashing forward, she snatched up the Vulpix and⌠shook it a bit. âLet go!â She tried. âBad fox!â

Tam grimaced sheepishly, shrugging. âI panicked?â She tried, not at all surprised when the Snom gave a worldweary fight and turned back to the fight.
She would have given direction as to what moves Maestro should use, but unfortunately, the bug-type only really had two options. And as the Vulpix leapt and snatched him up in its mouth, it became quite clear which he would be choosing.
Oh boy, that Bug most certainly Struggled!

Of course, the moment she did so, the very pokemon sheâd been looking for leapt out and attacked. âOh, of course youâd appear now!â She hissed, dancing back a few paces and frantically tapping to release one of her team.
A Snom appeared on the path before her, and she winced. That⌠really wasnât the most favourable type matchup she could have picked, but sheâd pretty much chosen blindly.
Maestro, of course, was fully aware of how unsuitable he was for this fight. <Really?> He intoned, flatly.

This visit to the shrine was more peaceful than the last. After the last fight with a Duraludon had taken three separate visits for healing, Tamara had decided that it would probably be wise to heal before a hunt, this time. Not that it would make much of a difference if they ran into another of the metal beasts and had to tackle it alone, but it couldn't hurt, right?
She sat with her back pressed to the tree now, breathing in the temperate afternoon air and taking a rare moment to relax. She normally never really stopped, always dashing about from one adventure to another, but it was nice now and then to take a second to just be.

<How dare you!> The Jigglypuff gasped, incensed. <My name is Octavia, you pleb! Not Pinkie!>
Cinder snickers, while Tamara tries her best to smother her own amusement behind a neutral mask. Seemingly, having irritated the Jigglypuff had managed to sort the Combuskenâs own grouchy mood as easily as you please!
âAlright,â the teen intervened. âI think the two of you need to cool off!â With that, she withdrew them to their ball, ignoring their continued bickering.

<You know she only calls you that because you react like that, right?> Octavia pipes up from Tamaraâs other side. Every now and then, she tucks her arms, legs and ears in and rolls a few paces before unfurling and continuing to walk. Itâs oddly hypnotic. <If you just accepted it, sheâd stop teasing you with it.>
Cinder cut a narrow-eyed glare in the Jigglypuffâs direction. <Youâve got an awful lot to say on this for someone who only just got named, pinkie.> She snarked, grinning when Octavia gasped in outrage at the new moniker, completely failing to take her own advice and not seeing the irony in that at all.

She giggled, looping her arm through the Combuskenâs and planting a kiss on the fire-typeâs cheek. âYou know I love you even though youâre not a fairy-type, right, Ciiiiindy?â She couldnât resist drawing out the nickname teasingly. âYouâre my starter! And my dance partner!â
Huh, who wouldâve guess that a giant fire-chicken could growl!

Cinder sighed. <So we are back to the fairy-typing!> She snarked.
âYes,â the teen confirmed unashamedly. âJealous, Cindy?â
The Combusken cut a narrow-eyed look Tamaraâs way. <What could I possibly be jealous of?> The irritation in her tone had Tam grinning; sounds like sheâd hit a nerve! <And donât call me Cindy.> Or it could just be that.

Tam grinned. âBecause,â she replied. âThe Alolan form is an ice type-â
She was about to go on, when Cinder interrupted with an objection. <But you have Maestro for that!>
The Dancer levelled a patient look at the Combusken, who huffed and lapsed into silence.
âYes,â she allowed. âBut the evolved form is ice and fairy-type.â

Tam snickered, for that had been exactly what she was going to say!
âMostly, weâre looking for a Vulpix,â she replied, biting back a grin at the offended expression on Cinderâs face. âNot to keep as a fire-type,â she reassured. âWhy would I need another fire-type when I have you?â
Cinder huffed at the gently teasing simpering, annoyed that sheâd been so obvious about being a little offended. <Well then, why?> She asked with a slight huff.

<Octavia will do,> The Jigglypuff nodded in acceptance, and Tam smiled, biting back laughter. So Octavia has a snobby nature â noted! Of course, she made sure not to say that out loud â that would certainly be one way to piss the pink orb off, she was sure!
<What exactly are you hoping to find today, anyway?> Cinder asked, now that the surprisingly long process of naming the newest member of the team was done. <Aside from âfairy-typesâ in general,> she made sure to add, pre-empting the usual response.

<Hmm,> the as yet unnamed pokemon hummed thoughtfully. <I like both Aria and Octavia,> she admitted, a different dilemma now presenting itself. <Which one fits me better, do you think?>
Wow, she really wasnât gonna make any of these decisions herself, huh? Tamaraâs arms swung at her sides as she thought.
âYouâre more of an Octavia, I think,â She responded after a moment, nodding.

The narrow-eyed glare she got for that one was truly a sight to behold, and Tam giggled before rushing on with another suggestion. She didnât need the scathing rant that she was sure the Jigglypuff was mentally composing at that moment.
âKidding, kidding!â She laughed, a little surprised that she hadnât received blank confusion in response to the reference. âWhat about Aria?â She suggested, more seriously. âOoh, or Octavia!â

âSiren?â She tried after a few more moments of consideration. It played on both the music idea and the fae side of things.
<Better, but not quite right,> the pink Pokemon hummed.
Okay, so she liked names with dual meanings⌠Getting warmer then.
âKirby?â She had to bite back a giggle when putting that one forward.
