Sadly, Steph's realization and shout did indeed come a little too late, as Amelia was already in the treeline and making her way in deeper, caught up in her little game with the Pumpkaboos.

Amelia found herself woerin for a while and was happy when she finally picked up on a ghostly presence after a bit of walking. She would follow it and eventually reach where it was it's strongest and closest. She looked around, trying to find it before eventually hearing the Pumpkaboo crying out. It seemed to come from above and indeed it was, as a glance up did indeed reveal the Pumpkaboo... who was stuck in a web... surrounded by Spinarak. She noted a skull on the web as well but it was soon revealed to be a different kind of Spinarak. Amelia could sense this Spinarak, meaning it was a Ghost-Type. If she had to take an educated guess, it was a Bug/Ghost type. She pulled out her two last empty pokeballs. She had one shot at the Pumpkaboo and one shot at the Spinarak. Given she was about to steal it's meal, she was expecting a battle. But if she didn't do this, Pumpkaboo might get hurt or worse.
"Pumpkaboo! Whatever you do, don't resist! Just stay in and you'll be safe!" She shouted at the little pumpkin before giving it a few seconds to or at least register what she said. From there, she would throw one of her empty pokeballs at it, hoping that it would stay inside and hoping the Spinarak wouldn't be too upset.

Amelia wasn't too surprised to see the Riolu go down with little effort. She honestly felt bad for the little humanoid dog. But with it out, Anise switched pokemon, sending out the Froakie that she had seen among the older trainer's pokemon. She frowned and considered her options before pulling out Drifloon's pokeball and returning it to the confines of the device. She took a moment to consider her next move before nodding to herself and pulling out a third pokeball.
"Come on out Pumpkaboo!" She said, sending out the small floating pumpkin.

"Pumpka!" It cried out, facing the Froakie.

Amelia heard Anise cry out for Froakie to use Lick and grimmaced. It was going to be risky now, since her pokemon could end up getting paralyzed if she was unlucky. Regardless, these were the risk of battling and Lick didn't have the best odds of paralyzing. She would just have to hope things worked out.
"Pumpkaboo, try to avoid it and use Trick-or-Treat!" She called out. Pumpkaboo cried out in confirmation and did what it could to avoid Froakie, taking advantage of it's ability to float around freely. While doing so, Pumpkaboo gathered ghostly energy before sending it at Froakie. Should it hit, Froakie would find itself feeling a bit less... physically there, as it would gain the ghost-typing. If the attack was successful, Amelia would follow up with. "Okay, how use Confuse Ray!"

Pumpkaboo cried out as a ball of flickering, multi-colored light gathered in front of it before launching out at Froakie.

Having formally accepted the game of hide and seek, Amelia watched as five of the Pumpkabo took off towards the woods in five different directions. She frowned as she noticed their presences vanish, but figured it was better that way. What good was a game of hide and seek if she knew where they were all hiding. The question was, would they be able to keep hidden once she got closer to them? Well, only trying would let her know of that.

Before she set off though, she turned towards where Steph and Freya were talking to a... well, rather giant looking woman. From this distance, Amelia failed to make out the suspicious red splatters in the darker woods, even with the light from the cabin.
"Miss Freya, Miss Steph! I'll be in the woods fa bit! I should be back soon!" She shouted to them before entering the tree line once again, her pokemon following close behind her to provide what protection they could as well as help her find her targets. Amelia set off after the Pumpkaboo who had set off to the North, wondering how well she would do in the end.

Amelia frowned as Anise gave her retort but to the young girl, Anise's reasons for keeping her partner in seemed a bit... weak. Sure, overcoming bad odds was definitely a thrill, there sometimes, you had to know what your limits were. A good example was the situation before her. She knew three of Riolu's moves: Foresight, Quick Attack, and Counter. Of these, Foresight no longer had a use on Yamask and Quick Attack was disabled for the time being. That left counter which her Yamask had no way of dealing with currently. With it's moves, a war of attrition against Counter was simply too risky. Relying on a lucky flinch like what had just happened wasn't worth it.
"Yamask, sorry but this seems to be the best you can do against this one. Come back for now and good work." She said, returning her Pokémon to it's pokeball. This was the best point to switch, as no matter who she switched into, Riolu wouldn't be able to hit and would need to waste a turn on using Foresight to hit her next Pokémon, assuming that the little pup didn't have another trick up it's sleeve. It was still a bit of a risk but a minimal one. "Alright, go get them Drifloon!"

The sentient purple balloon appeared in a flash of light, letting out a cry as it hovered above the battlefield, looking down at it's opponent.
"Drifloon, Gust." Amelia said, to which her partner let out a more aggressive cry before sucking in a large amount of air, inflating a bit in the process, before letting it all out in a powerful burst aimed at Riolu.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram





"... too noisy." Amelia said After Anise was done giving her little speech about this being training and her not giving up. Once again, her usual friendly demeanor and tone were gone and she gave Anise a slightly angry look. She didn't like what was going on here. "So, for the sake of training, you're willing to let your partner suffer for your mistakes? You've put them in a losing scenario and now you're forcing them to stick it out? That's cruel and unfair to Riolu. You should switch it out, watt for a bit, then bring it out when it's better for you. Keeping it out in this scenario isn't going to do it any favors.

Still, this is a battle and I got no reason to give up yet. Yamask, use Astonish. When Riolu gains the ability to use Quick Attack again, Disable it. But try to avoid getting hit as much as possible in the process.
"

Yamask let out an affirmative cry before once again using it's mask as a shiel to try and block Riolu's attacks. When it did manage to block on, it would quickly lower it before letting out a loud cry in Riolu's face, trying to get the little pup to flinch so it could quickly get off another Astonish. These moves would be more powerful then expected, thanks to the Spell Tag Yamask was holding.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram





Amelia was not surprised when she heard the first move that Anise called out. Foresight was something she had heard a lot of Fighting-Type pokemon could learn in order to hit Ghost-Types. Still, the call out for the little humanoid canine seemed to elicit a change in the younger girl. Her smile vanished and her eyes hardened as she observed the battle and the field it was taking place one. She issued no command right away, simply waiting as Anise gave her second command. Only then did Amelia speak.
"Take it but try to lessen the blow." She said. Yamask understood, holding up and gripping it's golden mask like a shield as Riolu rammed into it, causing Yamask to be thrown back a bit. As contact was made though, Riolu would find itself being cursed, as purple energy surrounded it and whatever ability Riolu had was replaced by Yamask's Mummy ability. "Now, Disable."

Yamask let out a cry as it uncurled itself and its eyes glowed, releasing a wave of energy to try and cut off Riolu's ability to use Quick Attack for a while. Amelia issued no further orders for the time being, simply trying to see what else Anise might have in store for the time being.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram





Amelia smiled as she followed after Anise, who led the way to a battling field behind the Pokemon Center. As they arrived at the field, she took a note of the terrain and saw that it wasn't as flat as most other battle fields she saw on TV and in other media, instead having some plants and stones that could prove to be either helpful or a hinderance depending on how they were used. She took in as much as she could before listening as Anise declared that she would be using her lowest level pokemon before sending out her Riolu.
"If you're sending out your lowest level on, then I will as well. Yamask, you're up." Amelia said while gently tossing a ball into the air. It cracked open before revealing the odd mask-holding pokemon withing.

"YAAAAA!" She cried out as Amelia smiled and gently pet its head.

"We're just going to do our best, okay? No need to feel any pressure." She said to her companion before they flew out and onto the field, ready to face the Riolu.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram





Amelia smiled as it seemed that both Anise and Basil were in the mood for some training. While the young girl herself was not the biggest fan of battling she knew that she needed to be able to do so. The only way she was going to get better was through battling and thus she would have to try her best even in a practise battle. So, with that in mind, she smiled up at the older two.
"Then, if that's the case, I'll gladly be your battling partner, both of you. Determine your teams and then let's find a place to train." She said before looking at Basil. "I know how you feel. I got some pokemon I can't bring with me and I hate that. I wish we could travel with more than six at a time. It's just not fair."





@Remram @Lunarlord34


Amelia watched and listened to the Pumpkaboos spoke to her after hearing her offer. She didn't understand what was being said but at the very least, the Pumpkaboo didn't seem to be hostile, which was definitely a good sign, as it meant that they were less likely to harm her. It didn't mean she was completely safe, but she was less likely to be harmed out of malicious intent at the very least. Still, she knew she had to be careful.

Her pokemon did understand the words being said and quickly huddled together to try and figure out how to convey this information to their trainer. After a few seconds of deliberation, they still weren't sure how to convey it to their trainer in a way that might make sense until Phantump had an idea. The little stump let out a cry before moving over to Amelia, covering its face with her shirt while the other three maved away. Amelia watched in confusion as they took positions to hide while Phantump clearly counted down with ten loud cries before moving away and clearly finding it's companions in repid succession. Amelia was confused by the impromptu game of Hide and Seek for a minute or two before it finally dawned on her what was going on. Smiling, she gave each of her pokemon a pat on the head before turning to the Pumpkaboos.
"A game of hide and seek then? Alright, let's play!" She said.

@PlatinumSkink @Remram





Amelia remained silent but nearby as Basil and Anise kept on talking with one another, letting them figure out what they would want to do next. When she heard mention of them training and possibly checking out the local gym, she took a second to think about what she could do while they did that. Other than exploring the town at random and trying not to get hurt this time around, she really had no plans other than to tag along. And if she was going to tag along, she might as well try to be of help to her two traveling companions.
"Um... If you two are going to be training to prepare for the gym, maybe I can help?" She spoke up. "I know I'm not that strong of a trainer, but I think I can still be of some use. If you're willing to, I'm more than willing to battle against you if it'll help. If not, I really don't have any plans, so I could go wondering around again. And I won't leave town this time, so I shouldn't get hurt this time... hopefully."
