			            The Umbreon had missed once again. He had overguessed the attack and the other pokemon was able to roll away from him. Unfortunately Nyx hadn't been watching his opponent close enough to guess what was about to happen. Growling in frustration, he realized this was like a stupid game of tag. Neither side gave an inch but eventually one would... With that in mind, he began running with random bursts of speed and in several different directions. He changed his mind, lunging forward to Tackle the dark pokemon. He was planning on ending this!

			             THe Poochyena had avoided one attack and it seemed that this pokemon knew about counter-attacks for another. As the pokemon would dig his claws into the earth and throw his shoulder to the side ....as he would once more use tackle.
  His eyes were locked as he prepared to knock the charging pokemon away with his own charge.

			            (20-13) + (12-7) = 12 DMG ; Poochyena 2 HP remaining Nyx slammed directly into the other pokemon, hearing an audible crack when he did. The dark pokemon stumbled to it's paws and he turned right back. Rings glowing in the dark forest, he then charged again. He was really going to end it this time. Once he took down the leader, he'd turn and take down anyone else that tried to fight back! Paws scraping the ground, he ran to Tackle the Poochyena!

			            [Culann Gains: 99 EXP]
  The scorch mark left by Culann would abruptly flare up as the Krokorok stood their, not quite as prone as he had appeared to the girl. Flames would burst from the Krokorok's body, lighting up the reptile like a bonfire as the last vestiges of breath in his body came out in a sound like a blazing roar. 
  When the Krokorok truly did fall, it would be as a charred corpse...and from it would roll a single PokeBall....apparently Pokemon hadn't been his only victims in this place.
  All the while, the Kabuto would watch in horror. Shuddering violently the Pokemon would squirm out of Vanni's grip, claws clattering against the ground as he approached the small crater. His body began shaking more violently, his voice uneven as he spoke ">What.....what have you done?<" He spoke weakly, but soon found strength in his despair ">WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?<" He cried loudly, turning around sharply.
  Surprisingly enough tears not streamed down the prehistoric Pokemon's face ">Murderer!<" He called accusingly, then ran off into the jungle. She wouldn't likely be seeing him again.

			             The pain, it would be the first time ....he was hit as he was sent bouncing away. Landing hard against the ground as blood from wounds open in that hit would spurt upon the ground as he skids to a stop. The pain was almost blinding, but he wasn't done ...not by a long shot as he would turn around to face the Umbreon.
  His paws were trembling as he smirked, and then launch himself at that incoming pokemon ..with a tackle of his own to match them. Jumping completely free of the ground as his head would aim to crackle the incoming pokemon's chest ...with his tackle as he uses Tackle in counter-attack.

			            (3-2) + (15-7)= -7 No Damage The attack landed but the pokemon had merely bounced off the Umbreon. Nyx smirked before racing off again. The fact that the Poochyena had countered meant it was scared. Well it should be. Darting off, he began to weave back and forth prepared to avoid the next attack!

			            As the Krokorok rose like a nightmare, Urvogel pulled back, squawking with surprise.  Vanni's grip on her cane tightened, rapidly trying to think of a plan... but there was no need.  It was simply one last hurrah before he collapsed, a dying blaze.  The girl breathed a sigh of relief.  Certainly, she pitied the death of the creature before her, but the body itself was no longer horrifying.  If she'd had anything, she might have tried to bury the Krokorok, but for now it was one less obstacle in their path.
  She'd be so focused on the fight's outcome that Vanni had forgotten the Kabuto she held to her chest until he made himself known.  All she could do is stared as he shrieked furiously at her.  She stood there, looking but not looking as he ran deep into the jungle.   
  Good job.  We're like her now.
  So that's how it was to be now, was it?  Her voice in her head, who'd been so timid clearly, spoke with clear conviction. Vanni swallowed hard, trying to keep her head level.  But the voice would not stop
  We're making our Pokemon kill others for our own benefit.  This isn't what you were supposed to do!  You were supposed to--!
  "Shut up."  That was unusual-- Vanni never spoke harshly to the voice.  She hadn't moved, frozen rigid in place.  For the first time, Vanni wished she was anything else- something that was completely ridiculous and born of desperation.  "You wanted this, and so we're here." She picked up her skirts, and shook her head, as if that would get the madness from her head.  "Urvogel.  Let's go" The girl stepped forward, but halted.  "Besides, we aren't her-- she killed for pleasure.  I didn't enjoy that." 
  Urvogel, meanwhile, watched on with mild puzzlement.  Was this what the Hairball meant by Green Lady's strangeness?  Perhaps this was just her first kill.  Some mammals got so strangely upset about killing.  He glanced about, noticing the red-and-white thing.  Perhaps that would cheer her up.  He snatched up the ball in his beak,scaled her back, and nudged her.
  Surprised, Vanni smiled.  "Thanks."  She pocketed their new bounty, not questioning her luck.  And pointedly not looking at the Krokorok's body, she left the clearing.
  [Vanni gained 1 Pokeball!]

			            As Vanni proceeded forward she would find herself with the oddest sight she had likely seen that day. Just head of her beside the path was small yellow sign on a slightly bent pole. Diamond shaped it bore a black picture of a Tirtouga crossing the path.
  Sure enough, the Pokemon in question was right in the middle of the beaten path, slowly doddering along on his wide flippers. Head bobbing slightly the Pokemon seemed utterly oblivious to his surroundings.

			            The sound of her footsteps on the forest floor was interrupted by the whoosho whoosh of flippers on the ground.  Vanni saw the sign before she saw the Pokemon, but stopped before she stepped into the creature's path.  Putting it together, she nodded, as if stumbling across a great reveleation.  With a content sort of confidence, she stood in place, waiting. 
  Urvogel squawked, biting at her hair.  Didn't she WANT to get moving?  Wasn't that the point of disturbing his rest?  Stupid girl.  
  Vanni was entirely unfussed, untangling her locks from the bird's beak.  "Have some manners, Urvogel," she admonished.  Instead of trying to walk around the Tirtouga, it seemed the girl was simply going to wait.  For however long it took.

			            Blinking once at an exaggeratedly slow pace, the Tirtouga would turn it's head to look up at Vanni briefly. The next moment it would turn away from her, continuing on his merry way, flippers slapping against the earth as he made his way across the pathway. 
  It would take the Pokemon a full thirty minutes to cross completely; and when he was finished another Tirtouga would arrive...and another...and then another. Several hours would pass until the last Tirtouga would cross, a rather diminutive one following it's mother. 
  Afterwards an entire flock of Mareep seemed to appear from out of nowhere; each bleating loudly as they moved across the pathway. Right behind them a Ducklett would waddle in. For a moment he would stop right in the middle of the path, turning his head toward Vanni and giving a loud "QUACK!" Before waddling across the rest of the path and disappearing into the ferns.

			            Throughout all this, Vanni waited with an inhuman patience.  She stood at attention, resting her hands on the cane calmly.  Her expression was actually rather pleasant- as if she was relaxing on her bed or watching a fun movie.  Indeed, she wasn't faking it.  It was so interesting to see the Pokemon in this forest!  She didn't even know Mareep were on this island; how interesting.  It was tempting to cuddle one of them, but she resisted.  It would be rude.
  The Archen, however, could feel himself slowly going insane.  This was bizarre.  Annoying.  Ridiculous.  Insane.  Why did these things happen?  Was he destined to be stuck with this girl forever?  Was crazy contagious?  When the last Ducklett gave his parting shot, Urvogel lost what little of his cool he had left.  An ear-splitting shriek rang from his beak, richotecting around the trees.  /WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!/ he wailed, flailing his wings about in frustration.  /SO MUCH HATE./  
  Laughing a little, Vanni patted Urvogel on the head.  "You have a lovely voice," she said, completely oblivious to his consternation.  And with the road clear, she took off once again.

			            Many things had already proven this island to be a strange one, and what occurred next would do so again. Rather then a Pokemon itself, Vanni would next encounter it's imprint. Shoved into the dirt, there was an absolutely perfect after-image of a Kabuto. In fact there were several, leading in a trail down the path and into the ferns...as if the Pokemon had continuously tripped, face-planting into the path. 
  Following the path would yield no results however. Once it reached the ferns it promptly disappeared. Either the Pokemon had stopped falling, or it had simply been provided a softer landing.

			            Further down the path the girl would hear the rustling of ferns, and soon be confronted by a familiar sight. An Archen. This one however, was different. Though Vanni wouldn't be able to tell on sight alone, the Archen on her shoulder would be capable of immediately spotting the difference.
  This one was female.
  With a slightly crazed look in her eye, the Archen approached slowly, beak hanging open as drool began sliding down the sides. Where most of Pokemon would have seen a trainer and her Pokemon, this Archen only saw supper. Though not in the traditional sense.
  It had been days since she'd last eaten, driven out of her pack and forced into seclusion. What she saw in front of her at this moment was a big, juicy, dropping steak in a little green dress, a drumstick perched on top of it.

			            Vanni frowned, staring at the new Archen with confusion.  "Urvogel, dear, is this a friend of yours?  Could you tell him you have to go now?"
  Urvogel, meanwhile could see what the girl couldn't- both the Archen's true gender and the mindless obsession in her eyes.  It was never good if a Pokemon in came up to you drooling and staring madly.  Thinking fast, he leapt off the girl's shoulder and landed on the ground before her, blocking the other Archen.  /Go!/ he squawked, puffing out his chest and flapping a bit to make himself look bigger.  /No food!  Go!/ He didn't mind fighting this female, but if he could chase her off...
