The cool wind under a bright sky refreshed the young trainer who drudged through the long untamed grass that fitted between the turbines and main building of the Power Plant. Aerynne was glad that her hair still rest in two french braids that it did not flow about her and whip her eyes due to the weather. There was no scent of rain or anything else on the wind, and this pleased her as well. Cuscuta rest inside her Poke Ball on a belt at Aerynne's side. The trainer had only her starting items in her pack, but she assumed that this would be enough to handle a first look at her environment. The worst case scenario would involve her and Cuscuta running back to the Healing Room with a lesson well learned.

Aerynne had been happy to discover that the grounds did not run on nuclear energy, but then did not understand why it was said that electric pokemon were likely to be found around the Power Plant. However, as this element type would provide Cuscuta an advantage in battle, leveling her once and maybe even gaining a friend for the Tangela seemed best suited to this area. This decision had also been based on the fact that Tangela only knows one damaging attack which happens to be normal type, and this will at least be even matched against any normal type pokemon in the vicinity. Cuscuta however would be vulnerable against any flying type pokemon, but the chance of one of those showing up was only one in three ... Aerynne thought, and so she hoped that they would be lucky enough that the first pokemon they found would not be a flying type and if it was that it would be a lower level than Cuscuta.

It was hard to tell what lurked in the grass at any rate. Thus far the sky had been clear, but with such gusts to play in it was almost guaranteed that a bird pokemon would drift by. Meanwhile the grass was wafted every which way by the wind so often, if a pokemon were to cause the grass to jiggle ... Aerynne wasn't convinced she would notice. There was a path a little ways away that lead to and from the Power Plant, but the young trainer felt it would be more likely to find an Ekans wriggling in the grass or the burrowed home of a Pikachu, than to have to wait on the pathway for the off-chance that a pokemon would jump out into the open. The journey she had chosen required her arms to be outspread, moving more firm plant-life away from her next step. In one of these swift arm movements ... Aerynne felt something that surely wasn't flora.

There came a shriek as the non-plant-thing brushed against Aerynne's arm. It was definately a Pokémon, but it was impossible to tell what kind at this stage. Probably a small Pokémon. It left a trail through the grass as it ran home, and if Aeryenne were to follow it, she would find a small hole at the end. A chubby yellow face appeared at it, followed by a smaller one. ~Pipi! Chupipichu!~[/color] the smaller one cried, pointing directly at Aeryenne.

All of a sudden, and entirely new Pokémon leapt from over the top of the hole. From the look on the Pichu inside's faces, this was not a Pichu they recognised. They crowed out, all four of them; two babies and two adults, and watched this new Pichu step closer towards Aeryenne, snarling, clearly aiming to battle.

Aerynne pulled her arm back in a snap, shaking her hand as if removing something unpleasant simply because the strange touch had been unexpected. The arm jerk was also an action she had commit without preparing herself, and she spun in a little circle before falling on her bottom. At this height, through the grass she could see a portion of the Pichu’s burrow. Her insides squealed as this would be a perfect first battle. She jumped to her feet and weaseled through the grass hoping to get a better look.

Upon getting closer though she saw the abundance of Pichu and was a little more worried. Cuscuta could certainly not take on four pokemon in her first battle. With grit teeth, Aerynne ran her hand over the Poke Ball on her side and tried to think of an appropriate strategy. It was as she did so that she noticed the aggression in one of the Pichu’s and the defensiveness of the others. She wondered what she might be getting herself and her little team into … but felt that should she have Cuscuta attack the one different pokemon, they might have a chance in not being attacked by the others, rather then trying to focus attacks four ways or going after one of the more secured Pichu in the den. Aerynne nodded, she was set.

The trainer jumped from her hiding space and called while pointing at her target, “Hey you, Pichu! Let’s battle, just you and me. Go, Cuscuta!”

She released the Tangela onto the scene, who shivered nervously and looked back to Aerynne for assurance. The trainer wished the pokemon hadn’t as this left an awful opening for the Pichu to attack first, but still encouraged, “Cuscuta, we’re in battle, everything’s fine. Now turn back round and try a Sleep Powder attack!”

Cuscuta moved slowly to get in position for the attack, and Aerynne grit her teeth again, watching the Pichu’s movements carefully.

The family of four cheered for the new Pichu as Aerynne accepted the challenge. Pichu's chubby little yellow paws clenched into fists as it snarled, attempting to look intimidating but only succeeding in looking more adorable. The mouse watched the odd looking Pokémon, wondering what such a creature looked like under the tangles of vines. Maybe it was a monster! Or maybe... it was shy because it was covered in warts! This Pichu had never seen a Tangela before, and so wasn't entirely sure what it exactly was until the Sleep Powder attack came; then it stopped wondering altogether as it held it's breath while the powder drifted past.

When it let out the breath, Pichu felt midly dizzy and sleepy, but at least it wasn't asleep. The electric mouse felt like it would use an attack first, squeezing energy from it's crimson cheeks. ~Piiiii-TUUUUU!!!~[/color] it cried, releasing a Thundershock. The glowing electricity cut through the air towards Cuscuta.
