Terra floated at her side as Celine made her way up Mount Brave. She didn’t know what she was looking for, exactly. Maybe she didn’t have a specific idea in mind. She did know she wanted to get some training in, and she hoped the Pokemon she found would be good for that given her type preferences. This probably wasn’t the best of places for her to explore, but she did have a few members of her toughest gym team with her, so she didn’t feel like she was in any danger.

She’d made it about halfway up the mountain without incident when she decided to veer off the path a little. Pokemon were more likely to appear where it was more wild, so maybe she’d have more luck in the steeper parts of the mountain.

Her plan must have worked, because soon there was a blue birdlike Pokemon flying toward her. She crouched down as it landed nearby, and woman and Pokemon studied each other. She kept Terra behind her for the time being, wanting to avoid a fight if they could manage it. The flying type would have the advantage in this scenario.

Celine pulled a couple treats out of her bag, fed one to Terra, and tossed the other to the Taillow. The flying type pecked at the treat a few times, but must have decided it was safe because he ate it soon after. She tossed a few more down on the rugged ground between them, and both tame and wild Pokemon dived for them, both eating peacefully. At least the Taillow wasn’t overly hostile. That’d make it easier to train.

She tossed a few more treats to the Pokemon and waited until they were done eating. By now, the pair were starting to make noises at each other, almost but not quite a conversation. She held out a hand toward the Taillow, and it slowly approached, pecking lightly at her palm.

“We’ll be going back home in a minute,” she informed the wild Pokemon. “You’re welcome to join us. I think the trees would make a much better home for you than a giant rock. Wouldn’t you agree?”

The Taillow chirped at her. She wasn’t sure if that was an agreement or argument, but it followed her and Terra as they returned to the path and headed back down the mountain. At the base, she captured the Taillow in a pokeball and continued toward the dorm.
