Ah, so here he was. The first route of his first... adventure. That just sounds idiotic. You aren't ten anymore, Rey told himself. This was no adventure. But really, he had no clue what to call it. A trip? No, that just sounded like he was off to the store, only to return with a gallon of milk. Expedition? Nah, he didn't really have a huge purpose for doing this, though it did sound better than a mere trip.
A small shudder coming from Rey's newly-attained bag went unnoticed. That is, until a red beam of light came shooting out, only to stop in front of the young man as he walked. Of course, now, he stopped. The red light faded away and his only pokemon had appeared in front of him. Her eyes, never leaving Rey's confused face, sparkled in the mid-day sun. She made a short squeal before running up to the boy and clutching his leg.
"That happy to see me, huh?" Rey asked, raising an eyebrow at the short pokemon.
Smoochum merely smiled, her lips roaming over Rey's pant leg. If it were any other pokemon, Rey might have been a bit... freaked out. But, since Smoochums, not to mention Jynxes, usually used their lips to test new things out, he allowed it. And, from the looks of it, Smoochum enjoyed to be in Rey's company. She scrambled up his body, finally finding a resting place on his shoulder. She looked at him intently before kissing him on the cheek.
"Smmm-ooch!" she said sweetly, and although Rey couldn't understand it, he figured it was something positive.
"Alright, alright," Rey said with a smile, reaching into his bag for Smoochum's pokeball. "Back into your ball."
The pokemon couldn't reply, she had already vanished into the ball. But, before he could even get the pokeball back into his bag, there was a flash of light and Smoochum was right back there on Rey's shoulder. He sighed lightly, but couldn't hide the warm smile on his face. He had to admit, the pokemon was kind of cute.
"Fine. You can stay there, for now." Rey shrugged, and slowly began to walk forward again.
He soon found himself at the beginning of Route One - Isabella Plains. The name itself put a smile on Rey's face. A thought occurred to him, then. As long as he worked hard- well, maybe not hard. As long as he worked... thoroughly to train and catch new pokemon, he'd surely be able to impress someone, right? He'd even, eventually, come full-circle and make it back to Oasis Town. But who knew when that would be.
Rey squinted, trying to see anything other than grass. He did manage to see a few trees scattered about, but other than that, there was close to nothing. Though, that didn't bother him all that much. Too much could be overwhelming, so it was nice to start off with something calm. Maybe excursion is the word I'm looking for.
"Well, let's get this started," Rey said and continued on with his walk, Smoochum chirping with excitement.

A Rattata was taking his usual afternoon walk, like he usually did, for he was a creature of habit...and of perfection. His brother, whom he called Ratty, had gotten into a battle and won against another wild Pokemon. And so he challenged him that he was better then him. The Rattata put his head up in snootiness. How dare he say that he's better than me? I can win against someone in a battle as well! He's not the only one! I need to be perfect! I need to be better than him! He walked with what seemed more like stomps as he made his way across the flat land of the plains. Sure, his brother was a level higher than he was because of the battle, but no matter! This Rattata was going to make it and evolve and then show his brother that he's better by all means!
And so the Rattata looked through the grass and made eye contact with a rock. <I bet I'm better than you at battling, rock!> The Rattata declared as he made a Tackle at it before he ricocheted back to a path...the path where his mother told him never to go. But the Rattata saw this as a great opportunity for showing up Ratty. This is perfect! I can say that I Tackled a human and that'll definitely show Ratty! The Rattata smirked to himself; he was perfect, and so was his plan. There was no way that he'd lose this when he saw an opportunity. So he made his way onward down the path, since he was perfect in every way. Though it never occurred to him that he might be captured or beaten, just that victory was on his mind.
Just then, he heard some kind of happiness chirp...of...happiness. The Rattata smirked; this was perfect! A human already without him even having walked that far! So he scurried toward where he heard the chirps...until he saw something accompanying the chirps...a Pokemon. The Rattata was at first scared, and wanted to run away. But perfection and showing off to Ratty gave him motivation to go on. He practiced with a rock anyhow! So as he approached the group, a human and some kind of pink blob by it, the Rattata stood up straighter and got ready to charge at the human. <TAKE THIS YOU BLASTED HUMAN!> The Rattata charged toward where he saw a leg was. I bet you'd never do this Ratty! Because I'm perfect and no one can top anything that I have!

Although he continued to creep onward with his slow pace, Rey wasn't really searching for anything in particular. Sure, if he really wanted to, he could veer off into the tall grass and literally look for a wild pokemon. But, why do that when he could simply wait for them to come to him? The way he saw it, his way was much more efficient. Going through the grass and making all sorts of different, startling noises would just scare all the pokemon away. And, who wants that? He was trying to find them, not scare them off.
"Smoooooch!" the small pokemon called, as if she were trying to lure any wild pokemon closer.
"Sure you wanna do that? You might scare someone off yelling like that," Rey muttered, a slight look of frustration forming. It didn't matter much to him either way, but still... However, the look upon Smoochum's face seemed apologetic, and Rey couldn't stay angry for too long. "It's fine. Don't worry about it."
It was obvious Smoochum didn't mean anything by it, but seeing the slightly-despondent look that had graced her new trainer's face made her want to impress him even more than before, if that was even possible. She stole a glance at Rey's face, which seemed to have a calm air to it, something that seemed to be stuck there at almost all times. Smoochum decided right then that she'd try and keep that calm appearance on his face as long as she was with him.
He heard the small Rattata before he saw it. The sudden, seemingly angry cry caught Rey off guard, and he quickly took a step backward as if that would help him regain some of his composure. An eyebrow rose in slight confusion as the Rattata began charging at him, and he managed to get out of the way of what seemed to be a tackle, aimed especially for him.
Smoochum was furious. Who in their right mind would want to attack a human trainer? And her trainer, none the less! She quickly hopped from his shoulder, landing on the ground with a soft thud. If Rey gave her the okay, she would teach that rat a lesson so fast...
<What do you think you're doing?!> she practically yelled, placing her stubby hands on her hips. He better have a good reason for doing that.

<SHowing Ratty that I am better at battling then him.> The self satisfied Rattata responded. Twisting his head he indictacated that the Smoochum was to move. She wasn't good enough to stop him from teaching Ratty who was better. Ratty deserved it, that msug little purple bastard, he thought that just because he could beat a little baby pokemon he was better. NO ONE was better then he. Shaking his head at the ridicoulous thought that anyone could ever be better then him he stopped and peered at the Smoochum. Why was she still standing there? She was likely in awe of his beauty was all.
Deciding that was the reason the Rattata stepped toward her, his head held high as he went to tackle her trainer again. This time tough he'd use his tail when he hit, his head and face were simply to pretty to ruin by hitting it against the eg of some random human. He wans't going to ruin his lush fur just to prove something to Ratty. The human should be overjoyed to be tackled by him! So he should wipe that silly look off his face and ask his Smoochum to move. A human!? That would show Ratty who was boss around her.
A human was much stronger then some baby Aipom, or whatever he had engaged in 'ferocious' combat in. More then likely he had just tugged its thumb out of its mouth and called that a victory. While he had broek n a sweat beating up children, this Rattata would take out a big bad human. <You're going down!> Then with a leap he aimed his tail toward the human, ignoring the Smoochum, who he figured in awe somewhere below him, victory was his! He'd become a Raticate and even better then now, if that was even Pokemonly possible! (Sorry for shortness--not to much to repyly back to.)

Who the hell was Ratty? Certainly no one Smoochum knew, or even cared to know, for that matter! She stared at him furiously, her eyes practically daggers. Oh, if only looks could kill. Apparently this stupid rat had attacked her trainer, all to impress another stupid rat? The nerve! Usually she would not have been so quick to judge, but this was the exception. If anyone tried to hurt Rey, they were no good in her book! She'd do everything in her power to make sure she got her revenge. Unless, of course, Rey told her otherwise. But, Rey had not instructed her to do anything, yet.
Her eyes, never leaving Rattata, watched as he took a step closer to her. <Don't move, or I'll attack.> Her voice seemed to drip with venom, something that seemed so odd and out of place coming from something so small and usually-cheerful. Smoochum clenched her teeth, wishing dearly that Rey would give the okay to pound that nasty rat.
At Rattata's words, Smoochum tensed, readying herself for the attack that was, in no doubt, coming. Give it your best shot! she yelled in her mind, a smirk playing across her pinkish lips. However, when Rattata jumped clear over her, she froze; he was attacking Rey again!
Naturally, the surprise attack hit Rey's shin, and he flinched. "Feisty little guy, huh?" Rey muttered, although he was smiling. Smoochum looked up at him in amazement. Why was he smiling?! He was just assaulted by this rat and he was smiling? It was absurd, but she figured that that meant he was alright. Or, he was just a very good actor.
"Now, Smoochum," Rey said, looking down at his pokemon. This drew her out of her thoughts. "Why don't you go ahead and give this Rattata a taste of his own medicine?" He was still smiling and she wasn't sure if she'd be able to tear her eyes away from his face long enough to attack. She stopped. Of course she could! She needed to teach Rattata a lesson, after all. She finally nodded fiercely. "Good. Now use pound."
His calm voice had, unfortunately, had done nothing to calm her anger. If anything, it had fueled it. Smile seemingly attached to his face, Rey had taken a step back, allowing room for Smoochum's attack.
<Now, you're going to pay for trying to hurt him!> With stubby hands balled into tight fists, Smoochum lunged at the Rattata, aiming to do some heavy damage. After all, this rat had tried to hurt Rey. No one should get away with anything like that.

(Excuse the suckiness) Upon hearing the Ultimatum the Ratta blinked, and stopped his slow moving. Both of his ears drooping slightly. She isn't in awe? Unless she meant to attack him with kisses..did she not care about the impetent Bratty? The way she had boldy threatened him made him realize that she was likely in league with him!
The human didn't explode, or fall over, or die when he was tackled. In fact he just smiled and called him 'fiesty' he didn't want to be fiesty he wanted to be acknowledged as the best organism on earth. Not be compared to something that described spicy food, or disobedient pets. Even spirited and amazing would have been better! No he was merely called a synonm for spicy. His chest swelled when he called to the Smoochum, until he realized it was a order' to give him a taste of his own medicine'. So the human was angry instead of awed, how impedent! This Rattata didn't like that attitude at all. Now he needed to teach the human to feel lower then him, well at least he had more to waste his time on then teaching his brother Ratty a lesson. Now the human and his odd marshmellow thing would learn who was boss!
The Rattata was still to obsessed with his own failings to register that the word 'pound' meant an attack. Well it clicked into is mind that the Smoochum was angry: <I don' have anything to pay with, and I don' need to pay.> Seeing as he was better then her, and therefore she should be paying to eveen have a glimpse of his wonderful curved four legged body. Not threatening to make him pay like some street gang flunkie! She needed to learn her plac-- Then he felt a odd pain explode in his skull as the Smoochum bounced onto his skul. Bringing himself up with a growl he launched forward in a tackle attack. <You are fat! That hurt!> She had no reaosn to do that. Now she needed a taste of er own medicine, he hadn't touched her, just that ungrateful human.

Smoochum wanted to laugh at the Rattata's first words. Was he really that slow not to know what "he'd pay" meant? Her stubby hands quickly shot up to cover her mouth as she giggled lightly, but she tried keeping her eyes focused on the purple pokemon in front of her. Though, that was difficult, especially if she was so busy laughing at the stupid rat. She began laughing yet again once her attack hit. Serves him right! He deserved nothing better than this.
Mouth slightly agape, Smoochum stuttered out, <Wh- what?>, eyes already watering from Rattata's comment. She was... She was fat? How could he say something like that? Sure, she had called him nasty, but she had mentioned nothing of his weight. That was completely unnecessary, and just plain rude! Her head tilted downward slightly, so she could examine her pink and gold body.
"Smoochum, look out!" Rey called, seeing the mouse-pokemon coming in for another attack- this time aimed at her.
But unfortunately it was too late. The air was knocked from Smoochum as she rolled backward, quickly skidding to a stop. She took several deep breaths, and then hopped to her feet. She'd definitely have a bruise later.
"Smoochum, you alright?" Rey asked, taking a step forward, toward her. When she nodded, he smiled and simply said, "Try using lick."
At first Smoochum's face immediately scrunched up; why in the world would she want to lick that thing?! Especially after he called her fat! Who knows where he'd been... But finally she nodded, and looked fiercely at Rattata. I can't believe I'm about to do this... she thought, then lunged at the rat, trying to prepare her tongue for what was probably the worst thing she would ever taste.

The Rattata blushed as the Smoochum laughed at him. <You have no right to laugh at me jelly bottom!> The little purple rodents fur bristled as he talked at her. She was wounding his pride, that was unacceptable! Almost as unacceptable as hitting him, instead of bowing in awe of his greatness. This thing was very cocky! Even though the attack had hurt it had stopped the embarassment of her giggling at him, and yet when she was done she started right back up. HE WASN'T SOMETHING TO LAUGH AT, YOU ONLY LAUGHED AT THOSE LOWER THEN YOU! NOT HIM! Frankly she was already on his last few nerves.
Normally the Rattata moght have apologized to his lowly subject for bringing up her wieght, but not today. No. She had laughed at him! Just like stupid ole Ratty. <You're tubby.> Wait or was it fat?
The Rattata swelled with pride. That would show that mangy Smoochy thing who was boss. Then she'd kneel to him and leave hi malone. Yet she got up, and her stupid hman gave her a order. To LICK!? HIM!? What the hell? That was not satisfactory. That was completely unacceptable. She'd muss up his fur, not to mention he'd catch her tubbiness. Letting out a high pitched squeawk like growl he began backing away from the Smoochum. Then as she went in for the attack he ran to the right, and hopefully out of the way. He wasn't used to battle, otherwise he would have taken this oppurtunity to attack her back, and hopefully take her missed attack as his own well-aimed one. Yet he didnt do tat. He was much to busy trying not to get his wonderful silky fur messed up. <LICK ME!? What the hell--you'll muss up my fur!> In fact contrary to the belief of the Smoochum he would likely taste like Pecha berries, seeing as he commonly sat under a bush, and let the dripping berry juice absorb into his skin.

ooc;; Eep, sorry for the shortness. Bic;;
<J- Jelly bottom?> She stuttered, shaking her head as if that couldn't be in the least bit true. Smoochum's eyes closed tightly and her head quickly angled toward the ground. She felt the large tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare let them fall. That rattata didn't deserve to see her cry! His next insult was heard, but instead of crying any more, Smoochum's head turned to Rattata and she looked at him with the most sinister look she could muster.
As soon as she saw that her lick attack missed the small pokemon, Smoochum almost felt relieved. She didn't have to taste that rat after all, thank goodness! But what if Rey ordered her to lick him again? She mentally shuddered at the thought, but quickly dismissed it once she saw the direction Rattata was headed. He wouldn't get away with this that easily!
Perfect, she thought, not being able to keep the grin from her face. Before Rey could give her another order, she swiftly turned to Rattata and clenched her fist, swinging with all of her might.

This Smoochum did have a jelly problem, and she was tubby! Why did she cry at the truth, he wouldn't cry if she called him beautiful, and dashing. She was one of tose idjits that hated to hear the truth. They covered it up with lies to make themselves feel better. They were so childish. The Rattata took a step back as the little psychic type glared at him. <No need to be angry when I am telling the truth!> He squeawked in his own defense. That glare made her even uglier then she already was. Of course the rat did feel wounded that she could glare better then him. It was degrading! It was almost as bad as ratty flasunting around showing off his level 7 status. Except sh was flaunting off how ugly and glowering she oculd make her semicircle face.
The Rattata was still sitting in his former position, looking at the angry Smoochum, and her trainer. He had learned that in battle the humans told you that was going to happen beforehand. So he happened to be waiting for a order from the human, he figured there had been a turn system, and felt inadequate for breaking what pattern there was. so he waited for the smoochum to chide him, his snout elevated into the air, and his chest puffed out. Then he felt the fist bite into his perfctly aligned snout, and let out a squeawk, and began strugging, his large snout pressed to the ground. Managing to free himself he dove forward in a tackle. His white feet becoming a blur, and accenting the hurt red of his nose as he flew towards the Smoochum. <Bou Burt my Nbose!>
That as a violation of his rules! It was rong to ruin his perfect appearence, especially by contimnating him with her ugliness, by hitting him with a ugly little fist.

<I may be pudgy, but you certainly don't have to be rude about it!> She hissed right back at him, still staring him down. She hoped it was intimidating him; even the slightest bit would make her feel a little better if she knew for sure. <But if you insist,> she shrugged lightly, thinking light-heartedly that it could almost become an insult game of sorts, <I can be just as rude. For example. I'm glad my lick missed because I don't even want to risk ruining my taste buds with the taste of rodent!> She feigned disgust, as if she really had licked him. <Worst thing I would have the displeasure of tasting...> Of course, she knew she was probably taking it a bit far, but she didn't care at the moment.
When her Pound attack hit the Rattata square in the nose, Smoochum jumped up and down, fighting to hold back a squeal. Her opponent definitely deserved these punches, and hopefully he'd be gone in a matter of minutes, but she couldn't be sure how long this rat could last. Seeing the Rattata diving forward into a tackle, Smoochum quickly shook her head. Not letting that thing hit me again! she thought, hardly jumping out of the way in time.
She giggled when Rattata spoke. <That was the point.> Another laugh escaped her. <Idiot,> she muttered, a large smile crossing her face.
Rey continued to watch the little skirmish continue, a small grin on his face as well. It was a fairly even fight, but it was mostly interesting to see the reactions on his own pokemon's face. He had seen anger, tears, and now determination flit across her face. Quite persistent, the both of them. Wish I could understand 'em, he thought, lightly biting his lip. Finally he sighed, running a hand through his chestnut hair.
"Try lick again, Smoochum," Rey ordered, nodding once. This had to work eventually, right? Might as well try it.
Smoochum growled inwardly; how could Rey ask her to do something like this, again? She would be contradicting herself completely if she went through with that... But then she realized that he was probably only concerned with her winning, and maybe he had some sort of strategy. Hope so, she thought.
<Here we go again,> Smoochum mumbled under her breath, and quickly shot toward Rattata, wanting to get this part of her attack over with.

The Rattata stuck out his pink tongue at her, wincing as his swollen muzzle throbbed in protest. <Belling the bruth is bever brude.> the little rodent Pokemon stated. Nodding in agreement with himself he seemed to dare the Smoochum to prove him wrong. Since it was an opinion she couldn't. <Bi Tasbe ob berries--not bof --bah--> What the hell was a rodent? It must taste bad for her to be insulting him with it. Letting out a whimper, he pressed his paw to his snout, and growled at the smoochum. Now his snout might be crooked! She had ruined her betters perfect features! <Bi Bould bot tasbe bas!Boo Bould bebeause Bfat bis basty!> (I would not tast bad--You would bebeause fat is nasty) He wouldn't even want to see what she tasted like!
She had ruined his face and she was happy! He didn't jump and down like a buneary when he had tackled her. HOW RUDE! She was such a hypocrite, calling him rude as if she had had good manners. <but bit bas bean!> He whined. Now she was insulting his intelligence. Letting out a throat rumbling growl he dove forward at the Smoochum, his nose pressed against his soft white chest, and his beady red eyes intent on hitting the Smoochum. Hearing him order a lick attack his face screwed up in disgust, hadn't she already uglified him enough! <bop bit!> That was at the human, why did he keep ordering her to touch him. If he would have just fell over like he was supposed to then he would have been able to brag to Ratty about his battling skills, and he would have won! But no! Now he was ordering that he b kissed,licked, and socked in the face.
Ending his attack earlier he dashed away from the Smoochum. It was rather comcal, watching a rat run away from a lumbering fat purple and white blob, as the blob tried to lick his tail. <Bi bon't bant bour bugly!> He screeched, trying to pick up the face, maybe she'd fall over and roll away, so she could no longer hit him. That would be a Arceus send!

Smoochum watched Rattata closely as he stuck out his tongue at her. Usually she would take offense to something like that, but the thing was already wincing in pain before she could do anything about it! It seemed as though he was doing a splendid job with entertaining her- but when would the whole thing end? She wondered how much more of a beating this rat could take. Much longer, and she would have to admit that the thing was pretty strong, aside from being fun to mess with and fun to call names.
<You can hardly speak,> Smoochum said, as if she was actually concerned that he was hurt. <On top of that, I can barely understand you, so I can't give a proper come back!> She smiled, placing one stubby hand on her hip. She continued with her taunt, <Maybe you should just give up? You don't really stand a chance, you know.>
When Rattata attacked, she was slightly caught off guard; she thought he would throw another insult back at her before attacking again, which would have given her plenty of time to react. She stumbled backward, the breath knocked out of her once again. How she was getting tired of that! She gasped for a moment, trying to gulp down air. The stubby hand that had been placed on her hip previously was now gently holding her chest, as if that would help her any.
Rey chuckled lightly, shaking his head at the whole ordeal. The rat seemed to be quite angry with Smoochum. But, who wouldn't be with a small pinkish blob continuously lunging at you, trying to knock you out? Smoochum on the other hand seemed to be enjoying herself, but he couldn't exactly be sure. Especially since she had already been hit twice... He shook his head once, throwing that out. He couldn't focus on that; his pokemon needed to attack.
"Try it again," he simply said. The lick had to work eventually, he was sure of that.
Smoochum sighed. Did Rey not understand that she didn't want her mouth to be anywhere near that Rattata? Oh well, she thought, with a new smile creeping it's way to her face. It could be fun! Rat over there would be completely grossed out! She giggled at the thought, and she knew that that would only make Rattata think she was even more strange. Even better.
Alright, here goes! she thought, diving toward Rattata again, hoping she'd get a piece of him. This would sure show him a lesson if it did!
