[Serena Miller]

It was raining slightly when Serena woke up this morning.  Fortunately, the rain let up shortly after she got dressed and had breakfast, the rain trailing off as the sun started to rise.  Mornings like this were always nice.  It was cool, more flowers tended to bloom and everything just smelled great.  She couldn't stay cooped up inside on a nice morning like this, so she opted to head south back to the forest.  

It was even more breathtaking then usual.  The way the sun lit up the trees and the grass when combined with the dew and the rain on the leaves was absolutely gorgeous.  It made her feel a little homesick in the end, but how nice it was here was stronger than her more negative feelings, so she decided to continue her walk anyway.  She doubted she would ever be able to go home, but sometimes she wondered if she even wanted to.  Her hometown was nice, but Harmonia Island was also pretty nice.  Now she was wondering what the rest of the world was like, or even what the rest of the region she was from was like.  Every day it was becoming clearer how narrow her knowledge of the world was, and she wanted to fix that.

[Serena Miller]

As she walked, Serena came upon a small plant pokemon playing in a puddle and splashing water around.  It looked like it was enjoying the affects of the rain, but was also looking forward to the sun coming back out.  Serena smiled, and thought about which of her own pokemon she should use to beat it up a bit so she could catch it.  Even if it was just minding its own business this is what a trainer was supposed to do, and having a more well-rounded team would be useful.  Eventually, she settled on Tear.  Her ice attacks would be useful against a plant like that in cold weather like this, and while she had other pokemon that could use ice too she felt like she'd been neglecting Tear lately.

The lobster didn't seem to mind that part much, as when she was let out she just walked over to a nearby puddle and flopped in it.  She didn't look particularly happy that they weren't back out at the lake again, and this puddle was a poor substitute.  

"U-Um...Tear use um, Ice Beam?" Tear didn't react.  "Please?"

She still wasn't feeling particularly inclined to attack.  After a moment of trying to urge the pokemon into attacking, the wild pokemon caught wind of what was going on and let out its own attack.  Yellow pollen escaped from its bud and started coating Tear, who just rolled over in the water to get it all off.  The budew looked surprised and Tear looked irritated.  Without waiting for any more input from Serena, it launched the ice beam she wanted in the first place.  Serena wanted to praise her, but before she could she did it again.  And again.  And again.  And again, long after the poor flower bud was already knocked out.  Serena frowned and returned her to her pokeball before she could do anymore damage.  The budew was just lying there half frozen on the ground.  Serena quickly caught it and started to rush back to the school to get some help for it.  This wasn't exactly how she expected her morning walk to end.
