[Serena Miller]

All the areas around the mana dorm just seemed sad.  They were all relics of a bygone era, and while they all had a quiet and nostalgic feel to them she was glad she didn't have to live nearby.  Everything around here was just dead.  There was very little grass, very little other plant life, and besides the occasional pokemon peeking out from behind some destroyed buildings, very little life in general.  It didn't feel like a time capsule waiting to be explored, it just felt empty and lifeless.

That said, she wanted to continue to explore this place.  It was sad, but she wondered what it was like in its prime.  She also wondered why this corner of the island was so much more lifeless than the rest of the island.  Did the pokemon just like it better like this, or did the people that lived here long ago do something that messed things up?  She supposed that they had to die out for some reason, so both options made sense.  It was too bad she didn't really have the means to find out.  Maybe the researchers on the island knew?

Serena's exploration was stopped by a small pokemon blocking her path and growling at her.  This pokedex thing that she recently discovered was really useful.  It was not only letting her memorize what she should do against each pokemon better, but on the ones she didn't know as well, it helped her pick a pokemon to use against them.  For this one, Tatlin seemed like the best choice, so she let her out of her pokeball.  

The wild pokemon just continued growling, hoping that might scare them off.  Tatlin just took it as a challenge.  There was a mischievous glint in her eyes, and Serena was pretty sure she was smirking somehow.  She walked up to the pokemon, with as much as a swagger as her tiny little legs could handle.  All things considered, Tatlin probably would have attacked on her own, but Serena wanted her pokemon to listen to her better.  She couldn't just let them do their own thing anymore.

"Um, Tatlin use X-Scissor."

With that, the axew crossed her arms and dashed into the wild pokemon.  With one swift punch, the wild pokemon fell over and didn't get back up.  Using the most effective attacks sure were dangerous.  At least they made it easy to capture wild pokemon.
