Jason had always had a sort of odd fascination with life on solid ground -- of how the earth to mold it self into different shapes and sizes, creating odd terrain through only a small portion of land mass. The young teen had become so enamored with the water in his youth, he often forgot the beauty of the land -- or in this case, the extremity.

Carefully the teenager scaled the Mountain, a sense of uneasiness wavering over him; although inactive for many a year, it still made him uncomfortable to think that it could potentially erupt -- especially if a large Pokemon such as an Aggron or a Tyranitar wandered through the area. The young teen had to reassure himself a few times over that that was highly unlikely to occur.

"Hey Artemis," called the brunette to the bouncing figure ahead of him, "keep an eye out! I'm not really in a mood to be surprised at the moment."

"Fro? Kie!" The small, frog-like creature paused on a nearby rock, cheeks inflating in a show of annoyance before the small frog pressed on.

Some rocks shook beneath the small frog's weight, and on more than once occurrence the trainer was sure that the small frog was going to slip and fall, or worse. While Jason enjoyed his time outdoors, exploring all he could, heights tended to get to him rather easily. He was more a man of the sea -- he enjoyed surfing, not heights. Granted, he could fly around on a Pokemon without much trouble -- but then again, they were more often than not predictable, so long as they were yours.

The sun began to rise higher in the nearly cloudless sky as the duo trekked on -- Jason partly not willing to return back to return to his dorm just yet, and Artemis not willing to call training quits, either. Perhaps next time, they would plan a better trip.

Jason always hated when he was right (not all of the time; just during moments such as these). Not as soon as the duo made it ten feet did a loud screech echo from above -- both trainer and Pokemon jumped at the sound, eyes darting upward just as a winged figure flew overhead. Sharp looking spikes came falling from above, and Jason had to at quickly to avoid getting stuck by one. Artemis dodged easily; finding a new, higher rock to perch himself o as the bird came circling back.

"Fro - kie!" Bubbles came shooting out of the frog's mouth, hitting the bird square in the jaw as it soared by. As the bird came crashing to the ground with another loud screech, Jason quickly pulled out his Pokedex and turned it on, before scanning the Pokemon as it stood on wobbly legs.

Skarmory, the Armor Bird Pokemon. Despite being clad entirely in iron-hard armor, it flies at speed of over 180 mph.

"Well, that explains a lot," Jason muttered as he put the device away.

The Skarmory, as it regained its balance, screeched angrily at Artemis, leering at the frog before lurching forward, beak glowing as he attempted to peck at the little frog.

"Artemis, dodge and use growl!"

While the little frog faltered, the leering bird seeming to startle him for just a moment before jumping backwards, barely missing the steel bird's beak as it crashed into the rock. The Pokedex must have been right about Skarmory's armor; the top of the rock exploding and breaking as the bird pecked into it. The Skarmory gave another annoyed screech, not seeming to care as the frog growled at it before launching forward with another peck.

Artemis didn't have time to dodge -- stepping back onto a spike ad causing him to jump and cry out in pain, giving the Skarmory enough time to rush the poor Froakie and peck at his head.

"Fro - Froakie!" Artemis yelped, jumping backand ruibbing at his head as the Skarmory gave a victorious screech. "Froakie! Fro - kie!"

Another growl was emitted from the Froakie, before his chest suddenly enlarged and he blew out another spray of bubbles. The Skamory scattered backwards, wings flapping in an attempt to blow the bubbles away. Jason half wanted to leave, to hopefully get away from the steel type. But with its speed, he was unsure whether or not they would get away.

Even so, the Skarmory was strong, or so he guessed. He would need a few strong Pokemon if he wanted to battle other trainers o the island. While he was't a big fa of steel or flying types, he would't mind having the Skarmory on his team.

The bird was a tough one, for sure. As the battle raged on, the Skarmory showed little sings of giving up; soaring high above the trainer and his Pokemon and easily bombarding them with attack after attack. Only when Artemis blinded the bird with his bubbles, causing the Skarmory to plummet head first into a rock did Jason attempt to catch the Pokemon.

The ball shook once -- twice -- three times, before stopping as a red light flickered on the button before stopping all together. Even so, Jason and a tuckered out Artemis watched anxiously for a moment, before Jason dubbed it safe and walked over to pick up the Pokeball victoriously.
