The ball snapped shut and Julian grinned with excitement. "Your mine now you little pain." He turned and approached Breeze who was still on the ground. "Your going to be okay buddy?" He says to his weakened Pokemon. Breeze leaned up a bit and let out a strained ~Gull!~ before going limp.
"Does your Pokemon need any help?" Julian heard a voice behind him. He turned to see a young woman with brown hair holding a basket of flowers.
"He's hurt a bit but he should be okay." Julian said standing up and brushing his pants off.
"Oh, I have some berries that might help both your Pokemon if you want." She said smiling and pulling a couple of blue berries out of her basket.
"Really? And I wont owe you anything at all?" Julian asked.
"Hmm.... How about a quick battle? And I'll be sure to give you some more berries after kay?" She grinned to him as she gave him a handful of berries.
"Sounds fair enough to me!" He grinned and let both of his Pokemon out of their balls, Breeze was worse off than Bilge (Rattata) was but they both needed to recover a bit. Julian tossed Bilge and Breeze both berries and as soon as they both swallowed the berries they recovered almost immediately. "Thanks." He said to the woman in green.
"Come on, let's go!" She tossed out a Pokemon ball and out rolled an acorn-like Pokemon. "I just caught him and I want to test his abilities out!" Julian pulled out his Pokedex and aimed it at the small seed.
"Okay, let's go Bilge, use your Tail Whip!" Julian commanded and his Pokemon ran up to the seed and prepared to smash it with her tail.
"Harden!" The girl yelled and Bilges tail cracked as it smashed into the rock hard Pokemons shell. Bilge cried out in pain as it whipped its tail back into its usual shape.
"Let's try something else, Tackle!" Bilge began to rush at the seedot with its head lowered.
"Bide!" She said gripping her basket with both arms. The Seedot began to glow brightly but it didn't stop the power of the Tackle. Seedot fell onto its back and kept glowing.
"Come on Bilge, try using Tackle again!" Bilge began rushing at Seedot but before he could make contact the small seed let of a blast of white energy that knocked Bilge back to the ground. "What the hell was that?" Julian asked.
"Bide attack! It absorbs all the damage taken and returns it twofold, even if you knock Little Dotty out he will still take yours with him!" She grinned and Julian got an idea.
"Bilge, use Tackle and then Tail Whip!" Julian yelled to his Pokemon.
"Don't you listen? Dotty, use your Bide!" The Seedot began glowing white again and received a tackle knocking it down onto its back. Then before it could blast her it was knocked far back into the grass by Bilges tail.
"Great job girl!" Julian yelled, he had thought that the Seedot was knocked out of range... Boy was he wrong.... A giant white explosion blasted from the grass and Bilge was slammed into Julian and knocked out.
"Whoa!" She yelled. "That must have been a critical hit or something!" She grinned. "Dotty return! Go Hoppy!" She returned her unconscious seed and replaced it with another seed Pokemon, Julian took out his Pokedex again.

Hopip
"Okay, Breeze! You can take her, let's go!" He swapped the unconscious Bilge for Breeze. "Use Water Gun!"
"Ride the wind Hoppy!" She commanded her Pokemon and it rose up high above the Water Gun.
"Water Gun again!" Julian commanded.
"Ride the wind and then use Splash attack!" The flower girl said excitedly and her Pokemon dodged the Water Gun and then splashed through the puddles it made. She was toying with him. Julian stuck his finger in his mouth and felt the current of the wind (Old trick).
"Use Water gun!" He yelled and once again the Hopip just began to ride the wind and dodge it."Now at a 24 degree angle upward in that direction!" Julian yelled ad surpriingly his Pokemon understood perfectly! Hopip was blasted by a huge spray of water and then fell the the ground.
"Hoppy, use Synthesis!" Her trainer yelled and Hopip began absorbing sunlight.
"Stop her with a Water Gun!" Julian yelled and his Pokemon shot another spray of water from his mouth and knocked the Hopip back into her trainer unconscious.
"Wow! Good job!? How did you do that directional stuff?" She asked returning her Pokemon.
"You'd be surprised what you pick up on a boat." Julian grinned returning his Pokemon to its ball as well.
"Well that explains the funny outfit! Now what's your name?" She smiled and began fumbling through her basket.
"Call me Jules, how about you?" He grinned placing the two balls on the belt he was wearing.
"My name is Melissa, I'll be seeing you around, I have to go pick some flowers but it was nice battling you! Here you go!" She handed him a big bundle full of berries and skipped off into the meadow.
"Nice nice girl.... Terrible judge of character...." Julian smiled and placed a bunch of berries into his bag. He saved one and took a bite, "That's just really.... Gross." He said scraping it off his tongue.
