[Kotone Kato]

Kotone grimaced as she explored the large building, Finn, her eevee, situated safely on her shoulders. Although the power plant had been long-since abandoned, electricity still ran through the wires and made it quite a dangerous place to be, especially since the ages have worn down the integrity of the building's infrastructure and getting shocked was a very possible reality. Not to mention the rumored sightings of Joltiks in the area... Kotone shuddered at the thought. In fact, she wouldn't even have come here if she wasn't desperate; her team needed a new member.

Her right hand trailed down to the lone Pokeball in her pocket. Tae, her deino, was resting within. With her current team, Kotone was at a severe disadvantage if placed against any ice-type or water-type Pokemon and she needed to remedy that while she still could. So, here she was, in a undoubtedly Joltik-infested building, looking for an electric-type to fill the gap in her team. Maybe she would get lucky today. Either way, Kotone sighed, absentmindedly petting Finn as he chirruped contentedly, Tae will definitely be mad later when she finally lets him out again.

Kotone nearly screamed as she saw a flash of yellow suddenly appear in her field of vision. Stumbling back, she grabbed Tae's Pokeball, prepared to have him utterly defeat the Pokemon in front of her until she paused, having gotten a better look at her opponent. It wasn't a Joltik as she had first assumed; instead, a calm Helioptile was staring at her curiously. The tension left her body and she sighed in relief, placing Tae's Pokeball back into her pocket. Having a Joltik on the team was a definite no, but a Helioptile might not be too bad.

"Finn!" she commanded as Finn leapt off her shoulders, landing squarely on the ground, rearing to go. "Use bite!"

The shiny eevee darted forward, quick as a flash, and bite harshly down on the Helioptile's shoulder. It cried out in pain, staggering and trying to shake Finn off until it chose to retaliate with a thunder wave, effectively paralyzing Finn and forcing the eevee to pull back.

"Finn!" Kotone cried out, worry dancing in her brown eyes as the eevee forced itself to its feet. Then, just as it seemed eevee would recover enough to deliver a second blow, the room began to shake as dust fell down around the battle, clogging the air. In between her watering eyes and coughing up a lung, Kotone realized that the shaking was because of the Helioptile. Bulldoze, she thought. We will need to finish this up quickly!

Calling to her eevee once more, Kotone ordered, "Use swift!" to which Finn obeyed faithfully, shooting luminous stars from his mouth with a warrior's battle cry, and hitting the Helioptile head on.
Now! Kotone grabbed an empty Pokeball from her pocket and threw it at the Helioptile, which was pulled inside in a sudden burst of light. Come on... the Pokeball rocked back and forth for a few tense moments, until it finally settled, much to Kotone's relief.

"Yes!" She announced delightedly, grabbing the Pokeball and scooping Finn up along the way before hurrying outside. Thanking her eevee for its hard work, she looked at her new team member proudly, musing to herself. "...I think I'll name you Ridge."
