[Lithra Trease]

"I don't think we're doing this right," the girl voiced her thoughts aloud as she and Bell trekked through the Obsidian Krag. They hadn't seen much in wildlife but it was probably more than they had seen of other students. Part of this was Lithra's fault. She hadn't reached out to her peers besides her roommate and even when she had the opportunity to stick around after a class and meet new people, she had passed. Some people were painfully shy, Lithra just annoyingly so at the start. She missed out on a lot because she didn't want to try new things. But if someone came up to her...that would be different!

"I can't just have pokemon as friends.... I'm not battling well, I'm not breeding well, I need to make something out of this time!"

Her Cottonee blinked back at her, understanding his master's squabbled mess, but not quite.

Lithra sighed at him. "But maybe another pokemon to our team wouldn't be so bad."

Looking for Cubone.

[Lithra Trease]

Suddenly, Lithra stopped walking. Her mouth froze in the middle of the sentence it was trying to produce as she stared at the strange thing before her. Off in the distance, huddled by a group of fallen rocks, was a bright orange and yellow mass doing a terrible job of hiding. "What are you?" Lithra wondered, pulling out her PokeDex to examine the new creature. "A Shuckle? Who stores berries in its shell?" There was a pregnant pause as both Lithra and Bell digested the new information. "Th-that's...that's so cute!" The teenager laughed as her Cottonee joined in.

Popping its head from its shell, the Shuckle glanced over at them, woken by the noise. Apparently the pokemon did not like being disturbed as it started to slam its strange appendages against the ground. Lithra's laugh faded instantly as the earth shook and boulders started to fall from the mountainside. The girl yelled.

"Mira!" she called, fumbling for the pokeball as her Bulbasaur beamed into existence. Wasting no time the grass/poison pokemon used its vines to smash the rocks into pebbles, showering them in the lighter debris. Mira then used her Vine Whip on the Shuckle, dodging the odd looking opponent's Wrap as she jumped backwards.

"Sleep Powder, I think will help," Lithra tried next, watching as the maddened Shuckle grew drowsy once more from the next move. "Yes!" Lithra cheered, throwing a pokeball at the disabled creature. "I don't know much about you, but you are too neat to pass up on."
