“Oh, come on!” Tam chided as she began moving again. “We found that Klink really quickly! It’s a good sign – we can’t stop now!” She’d given up on the whole umbrella concept at this point and simply accepted that she’d end up soaked through. So her arms swung cheerfully at her sides instead, the object still clutched in her right hand.
<I’m beginning to worry that you’re not very bright,> Maestro groused. <You do know that isn’t really how luck works, yes?>

And indeed, the fight most certainly was easier than the Duraludon battles had been. With a single Flamethrower, the metal of the Klink’s body glowed first orange and then red as it heated. Within moments of the gout of flame fading out, the opponent was on the floor.
“Well. That was easier than expected.” Tam remarked bluntly, surprised.
<Can we leave now?> Maestro whined, the resigned tone in his voice suggesting he already knew what the answer would be.

Decibelle looked confused, needing a moment of glancing around before she could catch up to the teen’s frantic questioning. <Wha-?> She mumbled, blinking in the wild pokemon’s direction. <Oh. Yes, dearie,> she replied once her mind caught up. <That’s a Klink.>
“Whoo!” The dancer whooped, before turning to grin in the Combusken’s direction. “You up for this one, Cinder?”
The starter grumbled a little as she moved - <at least you used my actual name this time> - but complied without otherwise complaining. This couldn’t be worse than the Duraludon fights after all, right?

<I mean, yes, but not in liquid form!> The bug protested. <It’s a completely different thing!> He scowled. <Besides, humans are made up of 60% water, so->
The imperious bug’s diatribe was cut off then, when something jumped out of the grass at the side of the path. Tam jumped with a startled gasp, before grinning in recognition.
“Oh!” She hopped on the spot excitedly. Releasing Decibelle, she pointed towards the wild pokemon. “Belle! Belle!” She urged. “Is that a Klink?!” It certainly looked like the description she had given!

“Oh, don’t be such a baby!” Tamara giggled, whipping the umbrella around a few times as though that would get it to behave. “Besides, you’re a partial ice type,” she pointed out distractedly. “Aren’t you like, 50% frozen water or something?”
The question made the Snom pause, a disbelieving look on his face – not that the trainer could see it, with his being on her head and all.

Cinder would soon find that it’s not so amusing to laugh at someone’s misfortune when they find it just as entertaining though. Tam giggled, fighting with the umbrella in an attempt to convince it to stay right way out! Maestro, on the other hand, found no amusement in the situation at all.
<ARGH!> He shouted, shaking his little nubbin feet in an attempt to dislodge the water than now soaked him through. <I’m soaked! It’s horrible!> spawn reset

“Now now, children,” Tamara rebuked with a teasing lilt to her tone and a grin. “Play nicely.” The glare that Cinder sent her way made the teen laugh - if giant, bipedal fire chickens had been able to hiss like an angry cat, this one would have been! “Do I need to get you your own umbrella, Cindy?”
<Don’t call me that!> The Combusken retorted without heat; the objection one that had been voiced plenty of times and ignored. Before long, the tables turned and it was the fire-type that was left laughing, as the wind caught Tam’s umbrella and whipped it inside out!

She’d really had no intention of catching anything that wasn’t a steel-type for Ash yesterday, but when the Ponyta had appeared, Tam hadn’t been able to resist. So it was that she found herself back at the Steppes again today, an umbrella open over her head in an attempt to keep dry from the driving rain. Thunder rumbled occasionally and lightning struck the exposed iron spires, lighting up the sky.
<Why did we have to come when it was raining?> Maestro grouched from his usual spot atop her head. At his words, Cinder cast him a glare from where she walked beside Tam, sharing the umbrella.
<Oh shut it, bug,> she snarked. <At least you’re staying dry!>

And apparently that healing had been all that was needed. The dual attacks from Belle and Cinder combined to deal significant enough damage that the Ponyta went down, falling to the floor with a soft thud.
“Good job, guys!” Tam called, approaching the wild pokemon as she withdrew a pokeball. Reaching the now fainted pokemon, she crouched beside it and tapped its flank gently with the ball. “Let’s go get you healed up, friend,” she breathed softly, waiting for the blinding light of capture to fade before rising to a stand.

Health topped up, she settled back in to continue the fight. Decibelle was on the field, and she sent out Cinder as backup. “Try a Disarming Voice, Belle!” The teen suggested, waiting until the Audino did so before turning her attention to the Combusken.
“Try a Bounce, Cinder!” Came the next called out command. The fire-type nodded once, jumping high into the air and aiming to land with a kick atop the equine pokemon.

It always felt a little like cheating to duck out of a wild pokemon battle mid-way to top up on health at a shrine. As she stood now, palm pressed firmly against the bark of the tree, she reflected on that. Obviously it was a mechanic and so intended, but she couldn’t help but be glad the wild pokemon didn’t seem aware of it! If the individuals they fought knew the trainers could pause the whole thing to heal whenever danger loomed, she couldn’t help but think they might be pissed!
Healing received, she shrugged with a grin and headed back into the fight.

Whilst it wasn’t exactly the right form of Ponyta that she’d been hoping to find, she’d heard that there was a way to switch between forms at certain shrines, and was hoping that there would be a way to switch to Alolan forms. If there wasn’t, then a second fire-type certainly wouldn’t be the worst thing to have, regardless!
All that aside, there was the battle to get through, first! The wild Ponyta landed a solid blow against Decibelle, and the Audino shook her head as though to shake off the blow, before returning with a Zen Headbutt!

Tam actually had heard a rumour about what the professor needed the many steel-types for, and she was just opening her mouth to share when they were interrupted. Quite how the Ponyta managed to sneak up on them was a mystery - the horse pokemon were hardly small enough to hide unseen in patches of tall grass. But as the fire-type leapt at the small group, Tamara grinned. Ponyta was quite possibly the only pokemon in this area she’d be willing to pause her hunt for.

The relief on the Audino’s face was palpable as Tamara offered an explanation, and she latched onto it like a lifeline. <Yes,> she agreed readily, not hesitating in the slightest to accept to explanation. <Yes, you’re right. That must be it!> It was strange, now that she had an answer, Belle couldn’t quite recall why she’d been so uncomfortable… How silly she’d been!
<Anyway, yes,> she said after a moment, eager to push the conversation onwards now that the odd moment was over with. <Apparently the professor will accept any of the three, though I do wonder why she needs them.>
