[Serena Miller]

Sometimes she wondered why she kept coming by the areas around the mana dorm.  Compared to the lovely places on the rest of the island, the places here were just depressing.  They consisted of an abandoned broken down house that's likely been looted several times over, the remains of a once great civilization and a graveyard where everything is so worn out that she couldn't even make out the names on the graves anymore.  Sure, she wanted to see more of the world, which meant going to unusual places and the areas around the mana dorm were not the kind of places she would normally go to, but she just always felt so empty when she came by.  It was unsettling.

As Serena explored the area, trying to see if she could make out any names or even dates on the gravestones, she came across a familiar sight.  There was a wild pokemon blocking her way and growling at her.  Was this going to happen every time she came to the mana dorm areas?  Did the students that lived in this area have to deal with something like this all the time?  This really did seem like the worst area to live in.

Well, the wild pokemon was a fire type if she remembered correctly.  One of the other hunters in her hometown had one, or rather its evolved form.  It should be easy enough to take care of, even if Serena was always a little nervous about using Tear.  She had a tendency to overdo things.  After a moment's hesitation, she released Tear from her pokeball and she looked as grumpy as ever.  Based on what happened in the mountains, if she just put a little more force into her commands maybe it'd be okay?  Serena took a deep breath and looked directly at her clauncher.

"Use water pulse."

Tear scuttled around for a moment, but then actually did what she was told.  Serena was very surprised!  The wild pokemon didn't even have to piss her off this time to get her to attack it properly.  Or maybe she just didn't like its face, it was hard to tell.  However, she continued launching attacks at the poor thing, even though it was already badly injured and confused.  Serena winced and quickly recalled Tear before she could do too much more damage.  After that, she threw a pokeball at the injured wild pokemon in order to add it to her team.
