[Serena Miller]

Serena was becoming increasingly aware of just how narrow her perspective of the world was, and it was starting to bother her.  The idea made her a little nervous, but she knew the only way to fix that was to go out and do things she's never done before.  She wasn't feeling particularly inclined to do anything too drastic, so she was focusing a little on the kinds of technology that existed in the city that she wasn't used to, and exploring areas she wouldn't normally go to.  After spending some time looking at a map, it was obvious to her which area she'd be least likely to go to on her own: the old run down manor.  It seemed a little scary, but as long as she went during the day it should be fine right?

Not so much.  It was still old, overgrown and it was obviously quite dark on the inside.  Normally these things wouldn't bother her at all, but this place just had a really creepy atmosphere that she couldn't explain.  Her body told her that she should just stop now and not go inside, but she knew that she had to stop being afraid of these things.  If she couldn't even go inside a simple house how could she be expected to be able to do anything or learn anything?  Nervously, she opened the door and went inside.  It was a small thing, but a fairly large step for her.

[Serena Miller]

Even though this place was just an abandoned house, and there was nothing weird about abandoned buildings, Serena still moved slowly.  Between the rumors and the atmosphere about the place, it still managed to be uncomfortable despite there being nothing obviously wrong with it.  If anything it was a shame that people let it get into this state in the first place.  It was probably a really nice place to live when it was actually being maintained.

There was a crash behind her, and Serena's heart leapt into her throat.  She swallowed and slowly turned around, only to see that a wild pokemon knocked something off of one of the end tables.  She let out a sigh of relief.  It made sense that certain pokemon would make their homes in a creepy place like this.  Maybe that's what made it feel so creepy in the first place?  Regardless, she was going to catch that pokemon.  It wasn't one she was very familiar with, but she recently figured out what one of the devices that the school provided them with did.  It was like a specialized computer that told them the nature and abilities of the pokemon they pointed it at.  It was pretty neat.

It was weak to things that most of her pokemon could do, so how was she supposed to choose which one to use?  Serena shifted in indecision for awhile, while the wild pokemon continued investigating that end table.  Eventually, she just decided to pick one at random, and let out Noelle only to be smothered by attempted snuggles.

"N-Not right now Noelle!  U-Um...go use crunch on the solosis over there!"

Noelle just grinned widely (or at least as much as an Aerodactyl could), before biting into the wild pokemon as hard as she could and started shaking her head around.  Serena knew that there was no real way to pry the poor thing from her jaws once she got going, so rather than trying she just caught the wild pokemon.  Noelle just kept shaking her head around until she felt a disturbance, or lack of one in this case, in her teeth.  Once she realized the wild pokemon was gone, she just flopped on the floor and started to pout.
