It felt weird to refer to these places as 'areas', much like someone would in a video game or something, but it certainly felt that way.  While it wasn't that unusual for swamps to be near beaches, it was unusual for the weather to change so drastically.  The beach was fairly sunny, but this place was foggy somehow.  Some of the features of this place she could easily blame on some of the fauna that lived in the area (the place was obviously infested with poison type pokemon), but there were others that were a little more difficult to do that with and the weather was one of them.  To an extent, it could somewhat be blamed on the trees that covered the area, but she wouldn't have expected just that to make the water cold enough to condense this close to the ground.

As she walked down the path, she was expecting to see a large river or lake even though she hadn't heard of one.  That was just normally how these kinds of environments formed.  However, it looked like there really wasn't one nearby.  Was it underground?  Compared to the beach, this place was really strange.  The beach was at least...explainable, but this place was going to require more investigation in the future before she could even come close to understanding it.  It was certainly something to look forward to.

The worst part about exploring places like this was all the bugs.  Sadly, for all the ways this swamp was strange, in this instance it was perfectly normal.  Bugs had been buzzing around her face ever since she got here, and even though she was used to it, it was starting to get annoying.  Most went away after a few swats, but there was one that was particularly insistent on getting in her way that she just didn't want to deal with it anymore.  This one was particularly large, and much smarter.  Though, that was also to be expected given it was a pokemon instead of one of those damn mosquitoes.  With a scowl, she summoned Arkose and got ready for battle.

"Arkose, Confuse Ray."

Arkose let out an eerie beam of light, and suddenly the large bug started flying around erratically.  So much so that it rammed into one of the nearby trees.  Served the bugger right.

"Beat it down with Shadow Ball, but do try not to hit it too hard."

All things considered, there was probably no need to confuse it, but it didn't have an obvious weakness she could hit, so confusing it would make it a bit easier to catch.  Plus, making it hurt itself amused her, and that was always a good reason to do something.  The attack managed to hurt it quite a bit, though it looked like it was getting ready to attack.  She wasn't about to deal with anymore annoying, itchy bug bites than she had do, so intent on stopping the attack, threw a pokeball.  After a moment's struggle, the ball locked and the pokemon was hers.  

That was enough exploring for the day.  She was pretty sure she was going to have to bathe in an entire tub's worth of anti-bite cream after that, but it was worth it in the end.  This area was one of the bigger mysteries, and she was looking forward to solving it.
