[Lithra Trease]

She might as well been a Wave student with the amount of time she was clocking in at the Misty Mire. It had been a week since she last tried daring the Mires for two specific pokemon she wanted to add to her final team. Or just two pokemon she wanted to have. Lithra was still unsure if she wanted to become a battle person or if she wanted to breed or if she wanted to graduate with only skills behind her and zero goals in front of her. Too many options right now. At the very least, however, she'd be prepared!

As the path curved in front of Lithra, Bell shifted to her shoulder, biting down on the collar of her shirt so he wouldn't blow away. "That can't be comfortable," she mumbled towards her Cottonee, giving him an incredulous look as she talked. "I can carry you again, Bell, if you want. It doesn't matter to me and I think this place is growing on me." That part was true. After all her trips out here the Misty Mires intimidated the Nature student less and less.

Bell didn't answer as Lithra hiked, slowing her pace as she saw something large strewn across the path ahead of them. "Hmm, I wonder..." Slowly, ever so cautiously, Lithra approached the object only to discover it was a tree knocked over. "Oh," she laughed, finding the whole situation silly. "So much for something interesting."

[Lithra Trease]

Flopping down on the path, Lithra rested her back against the fallen log. It was only now did Bell detach himself from her shoulder, his mouth leaving a wet patch on her t-shirt. "Eww," the girl exclaimed, frowning at the slobber as she looked over at her loving companion. "Thanks for that." Oh, but how could she be mad at him? One look at her Cottonee showed how unhappy he was with the Mires. It must have been all the poisonous pokemon lurking in the swamps. And after their last experience in the Misty Mires Lithra couldn't blame Bell for his apprehension. Sighing her disgust away, Lithra gently stroked the top of Bell's head, scratching underneath his ear just the way he liked it. "You do whatever you need to do, okay? If it's latching onto my shirt then so be it! I can always sew up the holes later."

Bell blinked up at her, basking in his trainer's sweet smile. He felt better around Lithra just as she felt better around him. 'Nee!' he cried, shoving his head into Lithra's touch as he begged for more attention. "Let me get something for you," the Nature student offered, reaching into her bag. As her hand brushed up against the log, Lithra cried out in surprise. "I-I-I can't move it!" Flinching backwards, Lithra tugged her arm away from the fallen free but found that the back of her hand was firmly stuck to the bark.

Fear flooded the girl's system as Bell jumped nervously around her, attuned to his trainer's panic. "What's happening?" It was then that something skittered out of the hollow log, its black eyes staring at Lithra curiously. "You've got to be kidding me. A Surskit? Now?" Lithra questioned, ready to laugh at cosmic fate or the timing at it all. The Surskit, the very pokemon she had been looking for, crawled closer, a sticky web forming in its mouth as it spat the webbing out on Lithra's hand. The move made the girl panic even more as her shoes dug into the ground and she tugged. "Bell, help!"

A bright light grew around her Cottonee as Bell's desire to protect Lithra vaulted him into action. The light shot out at the Surskit, pushing it backwards as Bell grew bright once more. Battered, the Surskit waved its front legs up in the air, a moment of surrender. Bell gave a gruff 'Cottonee' as he hopped back over towards Lithra, biting the webs away from his partner.

"Thank you," she smiled at Bell, giving him a loving pat on the end. "And you!" she turned towards the Surskit, hands on her hips. "That wasn't nice at all! You need to learn some manners and I think our little family could help teach you some! Would you like that?"

The Surskit nodded and skated over towards Lithra and Bell.
