This wasn’t going so well.
Taking a glance at her health bar and comparing it to the opposing pokemon’s, she cursed. “We need to heal,” she called out to the Impidimp, who nodded in agreement. Apparently that agreement didn’t extend to leaving to do so now though, as he launched himself at the Jigglypuff once more, as if hoping to get in one last Bite.

The Impidimp wasted no time in following orders, leaping towards the Jigglypuff and chomping down hard on one of its ears. A screech of pain left the wild pokemon at the injury, but was swiftly turned to the ‘puff’s advantage!
The sound repeated, bouncing around the clearing and intensifying with each repetition. After a moment it grew so loud and clangourous that Imp and Tamara were both forced to clap hands over their ears, or else risk hearing damage.

“Ouch…” Tam breathed in sympathy. “You okay, Imp?” This last was called out in concern.
The dual-type huffed as though offended. <It’ll take more than that to take me down, kid,> he retorted, and Tam grinned fiercely. It looked like all the Duraludon hunting had served as effective training, too!
“Alright,” she called, pride clear in her voice. “Let’s try a Bite, then!”

Whether the Jigglypuff intended for this to escalate into a fight or not was irrelevant, as Imp swiftly engaged it. Puffing out his chest and widening his stance, he Swaggered tauntingly to enrage it, and the pink ball’s little scowl was just damn precious!
The Pound it then bounced forwards to unleash was less so, and Imp snarled, skipping back a few paces from the impact.

Tamara blinked in surprise at the cryptic reply. “What do you mean?” She asked, frowning. “Who is he?” But it’s too late – the Impidimp has clammed right back up again, unwilling to divulge more. The teen is still trying to convince him to elaborate when a pink, spherical Pokemon approaches, rolling towards them with arms and legs tucked in.
Imp seizes the distraction as though it’d been send from the gods! With a sigh, Tam turns her attention to the impending battle – this was one of the Pokemon she was here searching for, in fairness.

<Are you sure it’s a good idea to be back here so soon?> Imp asks anxiously, keeping close to Tamara’s leg as though the skinny teen would provide good cover from threats. Admittedly, she probably would, to his even smaller and skinnier self.
“So soon?” The Dancer scoffed with false confidence. “It’s been well over a week!”
<He doesn’t forget that quickly…> The Impidimp replied ominously.

It was nice to get a change of scenery!
Tamara had taken something of a break from Birchwild Grove after her jaunt through the fairy ring. The whole adventure had been wonderful for the most part, but that… ominous presence at the end had rather soured the experience.
Today though, she’d decided she’d had quite enough of the soggy, storm-wracked Steppes and so had returned to the beautiful woods. Sure, she could have opted to visit the Misty Timberlands instead, but there was more than one pokemon that spawned here that she still wished to add to her team, so Birchwild it was!
ENTERING THE TALL GRASS!

“Deliiiiiivery~!” The teen sing-songed as she skipped into the tent once more. “Got another two big boys for you and a little gear-looking guy!” No, she hadn’t forgotten Klink’s name, thank you very much. Not at all! With a silly bow, she placed the three pokeballs on the professor's desk.
“Say, can you give us a hint of how many more you need for your project?” She asked after a moment, trying (and failing) to sound casual. She was fully expecting a resounding no in answer, but it couldn’t hurt to ask, right?
Tamara offers 2 x Duraludon and 1 x Klink

The final member of Tamara’s team to attack was Imp. The Impidimp was always up for a good fight, and launched himself at the opponent with a well-timed Assurance. His hands clapped down on either side of the Duraludon’s head, slamming down over where ears might be in an attempt to disorientate the opponent.
Hopping back to avoid a swipe from the beast’s claws, Tamara waited with bated breath to see whether the wild pokemon would fall.

Tamara really needed to upgrade her tall grass HP. It was getting awfully old to need to heal so often, but she really did only have herself to blame. Without the help of other trainers, it would have been a real slog to take down the Duraludons she kept finding in the Steppes.
She was working towards purchasing a different upgrade for now, but as she stood with her palm pressed to the oddly warm wood, she made the decision - that would be what she bought next!

<Owwww…> The Ponyta grumbled as the recoil of slamming into a large, metal pokemon rattled his bones. That really hadn’t been his brightest idea. Shaking off the pain, he refocused on the fight, tail lashing behind him like an angry cat.
Meanwhile, Tamara had released more of her team. The as yet unnamed Eevee appeared first, diving into the battle without hesitation. Running up to the opponent, she spun to face away from it and swiftly proceeded to kick sand up towards it. With any luck, it would at least do some chip damage.

The Ponyta was at least a little reassured by the observation that they wouldn’t be fighting the beast alone. So once they reached the ongoing battle, he did not hesitate to throw himself into it.
A full body Tackle probably wasn’t his best idea, when facing a steel-type, but by the time he realised that, he’d already committed. The resulting CLANG resonated around the Steppes, sounding startlingly similar to the rumbles of thunder that were intermittently shaking the region.

“Oh, look!” Tamara cried, and Marzipan followed the point of her finger to where the Duraludon loomed at the entrance of a cave. They were a reasonable distance away, but the teen wasted no time sprinting towards the beast. At first, she’d struggled to find any steel-types, but for the last couple of days, fortune seemed to be smiling on her!
<Are you sure about this?> The Galarian Ponyta cautioned, uneasily. <The last time we faced one of these, we were almost flattened…>
"Oh, that was just bad luck!" The dancer reassurred. "Besides, it looks like someone's already fighting it, so we won't be alone!"

The last battle had been a rough one, but they’d survived it! With quite literally no health, sure, but also with an additional Duraludon in her inventory. Now the question was, should she do one more search, or head straight over to Professor Ash to turn in the offerings.
She pondered the entire time she lingered at the edge of the yawning chasm. By the time her team were healed, the teen was no closer to a decision. Plus, she was fairly certain it was almost time for dinner.
“I’ll decide later,” she… decides? Standing, then logging out with a few taps of the UI.

The other trainer’s quick thinking saved her team from taking another staggering blow, and the punch had the Duraludon wavering. “That was awesome!” Tamara shouted in celebration as her pokemon moved.
A Fairy Wind from Floss and a Confusion from Marzi had the beast swaying even more on the spot, and Tam held her breath. Would it fall? Was that enough to finish it off?
