Steven, here now.

Steven leaned against a tree, smoking, he let the cigarette smoke curl around his head, dissapering into the leaves of the tree. Erica, his new Snubull pouted by his feet, ready to move on. "Snubbb..." She whined.
"I'm almost done, hold your horses." Steven chided, taking another puff and letting it out. Minutes later he was done, snuffing the cigarrete butt on the ground and walking off, past the tree and into Route 1.

Erice followed close behind. "Erica, you know why you were named right?" The Snubull shook her head. " 'Cause Erica was my first girlfriend of course." Steven said, smiling.

Erica looked awed, not even sure what a 'girl friend' was, but at least whatever this 'girl friend' was, had been first.

Just ahead of the duo, right in the middle of the path, sat a lone Taillow.
"Tai tail ilow!"
<Wanna fight?>
It asked, cawing out it's "greeting" as it took to the skies. It had probably been waiting for the first pokemon-and-trainer pair to cross it's path. It didn't look as though it had been waiting too long, either.

Erica stopped, seeing the Pokemon, she shrugged, [[ A fight with such a puny bird like you, sure? What do I have to lose. ]]

"A fight, heh, if that's what you want erm use tackle!" Steven said with a nod. He turned down the volume on his iPod and watched as Erica launched herself at the Tailow.

As Erica ran towards the Taillow, it prepared it's beak, hoping to use Peck, and hit it right when the Snubbull hit the bird. Erica plowed through the Taillow, but it used Peck, hoping to hit her before she was able to evade it. Having a Snubbull almost practically run over you wasn't fun - especially when you weighed only 5 pounds, but it tried, nonetheless.
