     Hotaru followed behind Rylen when she noticed he had stopped. What she took note of was that a battle was about to start. Rylen's Larvitar and a wild Rufflet. She watched as it was about to start and then a flash if light off to the side git her attention. When the light died she looked to see what had happened. Ian's egg had hatched and in its place was a Sneasal. She took this moment to yank out her camera and take a picture. She took it right when it pinched his nose. She then looked at the photo and smiled. 

 Even though Rylen was about to do a battle this took most of her attention. Rufflet wasn't even in her interests, but Sneasal being a dark type was. She moved over to Ian and put her back pack down. She then leaned in and showed him the picture on the tiny led screen.

 [color=92278f]"Nothing like a little cute moment to begin a great relationship huh Ian?"[/color]She said. She remembered her own first meeting with Zed and she tapped a little on the ghost pokemons head. [color=92278f]"Remember our first meeting Zed? Zed here thought it would be cute if he licked my face. Now you know how some Pokemon have a paralyzing effect when licked? Gastly is one of them so that was a fun way of saying hello."[/color]

  As she finished up she heard rummaging and looked behind her to see the dark fur of a rather large dog. The Pokemon had a orange tummy and several bone like rings around its leg  going through her stuff. Her reaction was handing her camera to Ian and kicking at her back pack. The dog Houndour growled at her and then parked. She let go of Zed and her first Pokemon battle was to begin. At least that was what she thought. It reached down and grabbed the  backpack and began to run off. Zed and Hotaru took chase. She wasn't going to let her lunch and part of Rylen's for that matter get taken. 

 The chase continued until final Zed moved past it and surprised it by coming out of the ground. You know ghost stuff. The Houndour yiped for a second as it was startled. Thus didn't set well with its pride. Zed sticking its tongue at it and laughing didn't help. She arrived to see the real battle about to begin. 

  Little to the wild houndour's knowledge Zed was moving into position, dodging a few swiped from the Pokemon. Zed positioned himself in front of a good solid tree. The dog Pokemon thought it had cornered Zed and jumped at him only to flow through the ghost Pokemon as it faded out. Normal moves like tackle were not very effective against ghost types.

 Houndour's head hit the tree and hit it hard. What followed next was Zed's own move. It's eyes widened as it cast upon the wild Pokemon the effects of drowsiness and eventually sleep.

 Hotaru nodded and pulled out a pokeball. Next was all too normal as she threw it....
