Taking your first steps into Autumnal Forest sent a shiver down your spine.
You weren't exactly sure <span class="mu-i">why.</span> For all you knew, it was just a regular forest. But it made you uncomfortable.
Erna saw as much, and soon got to changing that. She peeked in front of you and grinned. "This place is pretty, isn't it?"
You gave her a nod, unsure of what else to say about it. Yeah, it... sure was.
The Buneary returned to her usual position and kept hopping along. "I sure hope it is. Ma said she found my egg nearby, and that I look as pretty as the trees do here. No matter what season it is, they're always this pretty orange-y color. I think it's neat."
A hint of hesitation entered her expression as she spoke, but by the time she finished it was long gone. Her grin had returned. "The sky's pretty different, too. Look."
She stopped and prompted you to look up.
Up there, high in the sky, the clouds seemed to swirl together. As did the sky itself. It was like a smoothie of blue and white being blended together, constantly. Intricate patterns made by the clouds would be destroyed by elegant waves of blue within less than a minute, and the clouds never seemed to remain alone for long. There was always a tendril or two of fluff intertwining, leaving, intertwining again with another cloud.
It was absolutely a sight to behold.
Erna interrupted the cloudgazing after a little bit to comment. "The sky outside'a here never looks like that. It's a shame, but at least I can always come here t' look at something pretty if I need to."
Just then, you heard rustling nearby. The noise snapped you out of your trance and you slipped into a stance, looking around to try and see what was there-
-before a purple rat jumped right at you!
Its large teeth and high-pitched squealing caught you off-guard, but you were aware enough to shake the pest off your arm before it could break skin. Now you were staring this fellow down, Erna by your side, ready to fight.
Another rat soon joined the first, and you both had enemies to take care of. Your accomplice made sure you knew: "Okay, here's the plan! Indie, you take that Rattata! I'll take care of this one! GO!"
With that, Erna charged forward to kick her rat right in the teeth. What happened next was a mystery, because you were too busy trying to figure out what to do yourself.
>What do you do?
>Punch the Rattata (1d7)
>Try to use a move. You're a Pokemon, right? You can do that stuff. (1d20)
>Write-in
