[color=8882be]"Oh shoot, Dan, you idiot,"[/color] Indy mumbled under his breath worriedly. Still, there was no need to run to Daniel's aid or anything of the sort, because Dan's pokemon seemed to be taking care of it. Well [i]shoot[/i] he wanted to find another White Herb somehow. One wasn't enough. [color=8882be]"Mimzy, got any ideas?"[/color] Indigo asked, kneeling down to stroke her under her chin. Mimzy let out a light cry, hopping in some direction. They weren't venturing too far.

But it was there that Indigo saw an interesting pokemon. With glittering, iridescent, deep [i]indigo[/i] butterfly wings, and inquisitive, pixelated looking eyes, it reminded him of the Butterfree he had occasionally admired in Kanto, but it was different.

Leaving a trail of shimmering sparkles behind it as it flew, Indigo couldn't help but feel compelled to follow it. He whipped out his pokedex hurriedly. 

[i][b][color=0072bc]Vivillion, the Scale Pokemon, and the evolved for of Spewpa. Vivillon are skillfully able to find a source of water. It has been said that you'll find a spring if you follow a Vivillon. The patterns on this Pokémon's wings depend on the climate and topography of its habitat. It scatters colorful scales.[/color][/b][/i] The pokedex identified the Vivillion as male.

[i][color=8882be]Seriously? It evolves from Spewpa!? And spewpa evolves from that ugly Scatterbug... I wouldn't have even know...and I thought the only cool Bug types were Butterfree..[/color][/i] He wanted to catch one so bad! His mind flashed to Sydney briefly. He'd have to contact him somehow after this...

 [color=8882be]"Guys, how do we feel about getting a new member of our team?"[/color] Hero jumped up in the air, Hawka fluffed her feathers and seemed indifferent, while Mimzy played with her ears shyly. Was that ramping up to a yes? [color=8882be]"Come on, just think of it, you'll be able to [i]fly[/i] in the air,"[/color] Indigo emphasized. Hawka and Mimzy perked up considerably at the words, looking at each other and communicating with chitters and cheeps. Finally, they nodded. [i]Yes,[/i] this would be awesome. [color=8882be]"Let's go ask him if he wants to battle,"[/color] and they caught up to Vivillion who was simply riding on the warm drifts of air. He paused to drink nectar from a cluster of flowers.

Hawka jumped forth, squawking and screeching something fierce. The Vivillion seemed to roll his eyes, unimpressed at the rookie pokemon before him. But there was a playful gleam in those large, mischevious eyes. Why not humor them? The Vivillion thought. With a nod, it accepted their challenge. Indigo smirked. This would be easy. He had the advantage with Hawka. Nothing to worry about--

And as it turned out, the Vivillion was cocky for a reason. Hawka couldn't even touch the large butterfly because it kept sending her to sleep with some Sleep Powder. String Shot slowed her down and tripped her up too many times. With a well placed gust, the Vivillion whirled Hawka away. It seemed to never miss!

Next was Mimzy, who could bounce high enough to reach the Vivillion, but even when she did manage to, the Vivillion simply protected himself. She was taken down by a Sleep Powder, being combined with String Shot and Gust. Hero fared no better, given his lack of movepool and mobility. A single gust blew every Tackle he attempted, while damaging him. Once the Vivillion flew away, a bubbly laughter seemingly come from him. Indigo's shoulders slumped. [i]Another loss[/i] he thought. He returned to Dan with a defeated expression on his face. [color=8882be]"Hey, how'd it go with the Pidgeotto?"[/color]
