 I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT It was amazing how the weather in the Stellara region changed from one moment to the next. Just a few days ago, Lily had been battling the thunderstorms in Baltis City. That had been less than fun. She and Snow had been sitting on a bench, minding their own business, when the bottom of the sky suddenly opened up, drenching everything in its path. Their lunch had been ruined by the rain, and Snow was none too happy about missing a meal. Now that they had reached Nair City, fat flakes of snow fell from the sky, clinging to Lily's hair and stinging her cheeks with their iciness. Snow, of course, had never been happier, running and playing through the snow like an excited child. It made Lily smile, seeing her partner so happy. The teenager wandered through the city, staring in awe at the snow-capped buildings. She looked in the window of a shop that boasted thick, warm coats. She shivered in her thin blouse, pulling out her wallet and carefully counting her money. A few dollars was all she needed to afford a lovely fur coat. Instead, she settled on a much less expensive wool coat. "Wait here," she said to Snow before ducking into the shop. She quickly donned the coat, paid the cashier, and walked back outside. Sure enough, Snow was still sitting outside, rolling around in a small hill of snow. Now toasty and and secure in her new coat, she gently stroked Snow's head and continued walking through the city. open ✖ woo first post! |

SQUALL TORRENT
Squall hated any kind of civilization, the hustle and bustle drove her mad while the loud and constant sounds of people and cars caused a pounding headache. At least Doom was just as miserable and so the two could be grumpy together. The Growlithe was made from heat, flame and fire but it was currently snowing. The canines fur was plastered against his body and he looked like a large drowned rat. The small flakes of snow that fell from the sky immediately melted when they touched his red and black pelt because of the heat he radiated. It served him right though for taking her into the desert just last month, where he had relished in the heat Squalls pale skin had burned to a pretty crisp. Payback was a bitch.
Squall needed supplies ranging from potions to rations to feminine products, she'd been on the road for a long time now and her levels were threateningly low. Once Doom evolved she'd hook him up to a saddle so that they could carry twice as much and have to visit towns less often. As it were the duo walked down a long street with mounds of snow piled from a fresh storm. Suddenly Dooms ears perked up and he paused so suddenly that Squall almost walked into his hind end. Something had obviously caught his attention. Up ahead a purple haired girl and her ivory Vulpix were making their way towards them. Dooms tail was raised high while his nose sniffed in the cold air. Without noticed he shot off, his long stride heading strait towards the girl and her pokemon.
"Doom!" Squall called out, not knowing what had gotten into her companion.

I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT The snow began to pick up, and Lily was immensely relieved that Snow didn't have Snow Warning as an ability. She didn't think she could handle being surrounded by snow and hail all the time, even though she was now warm in her new coat. The snow clung to her face and hair, melting as soon as it touched her skin and dripping down into her jacket. She looked down at Snow and smiled, watching as the little fox danced and romped on the white ground. Suddenly, Snow paused from her frolicking and looked straight ahead, her tail bristling. Lily looked up, but couldn't see anything through the thick snow. She cupped her hand over her eyes to block out the flakes and squinted hard. Suddenly, an orange blur came into view, growing clearer and clearer as it approached. "Oh sh..." the trainer began. "Snow," she said quietly, but the Vulpix was already hiding behind her, snarling and bristling but not making any effort to challenge the creature. "I don't think this is how this is supposed to work," Lily said sarcastically. She picked Snow up and cradled the Pokemon in her hands. She could see now that the being approaching them was a Growlithe. Even if Lily did need to defend them, she knew Snow would be at a severe disadvantage against the fire-type. So she held Snow closer and began making flinging motions with her free hand. "Shoo! Go on! Get!" she hissed at the Growlithe. |

SQUALL TORRENT
The moment Doom took off Squall was quite shocked, ever since her Growlithe had saved her from a swarm of Beedrills he'd been her loyalist friend. But in one moment his loyalty seemed to vanish. Squall chased after her companion, a bitter frost nipping at her cheeks as she did so. In her backpack she tried to carry as many changes of clothes to fight as many different types of environments as possible but she could only fit so much at once. Currently she wore a mismatch of everything from her long-johns to her long sleeved shirts in layers to fight the winter frost. This was one example why she needed to journey into town, winter was bitter and she needed warmer clothes. Up till today Doom had provided her with his warmth at night.
"Doom get back here you damn dog!" Squall yelled after her starter once more. The girl also started to speak though Squall couldn't hear what was said across the distance. Half a dozen feet from the vulpix who was now in its owners arms Doom paused, spraying up a gust of snow. He stood there frozen, posture more curious than aggressive.
Coming up behind her Growlithe a heart beat later Squall placed a hand against the wet fur along Dooms back. "I am so sorry!" She apologized for her rude companion. "I don't know what has gotten into him! It seems as though the snow has gotten to his head! I swear he never does things like this!"
Glancing down at her companion she asked. "What is wrong buddy?" Could this girl and her vulpix be from his past? Or did he sense a bad aura from them that was driving him crazy? Doom did a second thing that was out of ordinary for him. Bending his back so that his front was lower than his hind end Doom barked, the sound was most definitely playful. "Are you serious? All of this because you want to play?" Squall didn't know what to say to the Vulpixs owner.

I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT Lily looked down at the Growlithe, locking eyes with the dog-like Pokemon as Snow struggled in the trainer's arms. The Vulpix was obviously not happy about the other Pokemon's close proximity, and Lily could see and feel the fox trying to crawl over Lily's shoulder to hide in her backpack. Snow had never been an aggressive Pokemon, but she was downright terrified of fire-types. Of course, she had good reason to be, despite her close cousin being a fire-type. Lily held the squirming fox firmly in her arms, refusing to let her escape. "Would you calm down?" she said, annoyance laced in her voice. Part of her wished Snow would grow more of a backbone, but she couldn't fault her partner for being so afraid. Shortly after they began their journey together, the pair had been attacked by a group of Pansears. Snow had fought bravely to protect Lily, but they both suffered severe burns and spent several days in the Pokemon Center healing. Snow had never quite been the same around fire-types after that. Looking up at the young woman that trailed after the Growlithe, Lily's eyes narrowed. The woman looked...off. Like she didn't belong in modern society. Despite the stranger's hasty apologies, Lily took a step back, her lips turning down into a frown. The Growlithe knelt in a playful stance, which would have normally been extremely cute, but Lily didn't smile. Looking back at what she assumed was the Growlithe's trainer, she said flatly, "You should really learn to control your Pokemon. You almost gave Snow a heart attack." |

SQUALL TORRENT
Squall felt guilty for Growlithes actions, she had never imagined he would confront the girl and her pokemon but at the same time she could understand his desire to play. Being on the road for so long with just the two of them it was not often that he could just express his playful side, he always had to be so serious. But then the girl spoke and Squall couldn't quite believe her ears. Instantly Squall spoke her reply, slightly miffed. "Pokemon are not for us to control." She stated steadily. "They are our companions with personalities of their own, if I was to control Doom completely he would be just a shadow of himself, he would not be the loyal companion that he is." Squall narrowed her eyes, now happy that she had to defend her companion to a complete stranger. Doom whined slightly, switching his position from playful to disappointing with lowered ears. "I could tell you how to treat your pokemon." She pointedly looked at the girls quivering vulpix. "But I won't because it's not my place." This was another reason why she didn't like to visit the cities, people were stupid.

I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT This was not going to end well. Of that, Lily was certain. Snow had gone perfectly still in her arms and was glaring at the Growlithe. Lily's lip twitched into a sneer as the other woman spoke, and her words made no sense. She sounded like something out of a civil rights pamphlet. Lily half-expected her to start waving a picket sign and preaching about the injustices of battling. "I'm not telling you to make it a slave," she said, a hard edge to her voice, "It would probably just be a wise idea not to let it charge random strangers and their Pokemon. Not everyone will be as nice as me." Lily finally put Snow on the ground again, and the fox stood between her feet, yipping at the Growlithe. Lily smiled at her little fox, impressed by her sudden bravery. Looking back up at the other trainer, her face soured and she said, "Now why don't you just run back into the woods, Jungle Girl?" |

SQUALL TORRENT
Squalls jaw did drop then at hearing the purple haired girls response, the blond haired girl knew she had been out of touch with civilization for a while now but she did not feel as though she deserved this kind of abuse. "Your tongue is going to get you and your companion in trouble one of these days." Squall stated scathingly, almost as if she were threatening the other girl. "Are you all talk or are you going to battle me? Because you just had a mouth full of fighting words!"
Doom looked up at the Vulpix longingly, his intention of simply making a new friend had completely backfired. He understood what it was that both human females had said, he did not want to battle but he would if it was what his trainer wanted of him.

I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT For once, Lily didn't want to battle. She just wanted to take Snow and go on her way and hopefully never run into this lunatic again. But her pride said otherwise. She could already hear her sisters taunting her, belittling her for letting a challenge pass her by. She knew her chances weren't very good, and the thought of forcing Snow to battle a fire-type after the disaster last time was not a pleasant one. But there was a look of fierce determination on Snow's face as she stared at the Growlithe that matched the one on Lily's any time she entered a battle. Lily looked up at the sky, feeling the flakes of snow fall on her cheeks and nose. Maybe, just maybe, the frigid conditions would give her the advantage. She thought back to when she and Snow had first entered the city, how lively her partner had been in the snow, so fresh and invigorated. They could do this. Lily's gaze once again settled on the other woman, her eyes hard and challenging. "Fine, if it'll shut you up," she said bitterly. |

SQUALL TORRENT
Squall would never understand how some people could be so judgmental, perhaps it was in the way that they had been raised as children. This girl who she faced now obviously had a history that she was still trying to get over because what kind of trainer accepted a fight that their pokemon was most likely to lose? A Ice type against a Fire type? Simple suicide. Squall shrugged she was not the Vulpixs owner and so she would not pity the animal that followed a half insane trainer. "Lets do this then." She ignored the derogatory comment from the girl, she would not stoop so low as to name call and belittle. Since the Vulpix was still in its owners arms Squall walked backwards, waving her arms in a welcoming gesture, she would let the other trainer have the first attack since she was at such a disadvantage. Doom followed his trainer and as he did so his entire demeanor changed, where once a playful pup had stood a snarling, teeth baring carnivore stood in his place.

I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT What was she getting herself into? Lily knew for a fact that she had no burn heals in her bag, and now she was challenging a Growlithe her a Pokemon that had already been traumatized by fire-types in the past. But she had already agreed to the battle, and she wasn't about to go back on her word. She watched with mild amusement as the Growlithe seemed to transform before her, no longer the playful pup that had initially come to them. Maybe Jungle Girl knew how to control her Pokemon after all. The trainer took a several steps back, allowing enough room so that she wouldn't get caught in the crossfire of the battle. Snow followed right at her heels, a determined gleam in her icy blue eyes. Despite her fears, the fox seemed willing to accept the challenge at her trainer's behest. She didn't make a sound as she assumed a battler's stance in front of Lily, eyes bright and ears alert. When the other woman made no move to attack, Lily rolled her eyes. She knew she was at a disadvantage, but she didn't want pity. "Alright, Snow, use Moonblast!" Lily ordered. Snow's legs spread to brace herself for the intensity of the attack. A large orb began growing in front of the Vulpix's open mouth, growing large and pink and powerful, like a glowing moon. The fox swung her head, flinging the massive orb at the Growlithe. |
