Dog- high alert. Toad grunts as the Houndoom crosses their path, its fur bristling and its teeth bared. "Don't let it scare you," she scoffs, sliding onto Lancer so the earthquake Toad produces can destroy the thing. Its limp, weakened body is quickly consumed by a great ball- Lena always wanted a guard dog, and even more so a hell-hound guard dog.

Capturing it just brings her one step closer to Hearthome, and she's on a straight beeline to get there.

A bullet whizzes past her head, hair disrupted from its settled place on her head. She freezes in place, eyes wide, Toad roaring and taking his place in front of her, petal dance raising into the air, lashing out into the environment around them. The attack misses, but the octopus falls from its sniping position in the tree above them, crawling furiously toward the girl before suctioned tentacles wrap around her leg, climbing up her thigh, sending a shiver down her spine as she desperately tries to yank the thing off. "Just attack me too, attack me too!" she's frantic, heart pounding as the octillery gets closer and closer to the forbidden fruit.

The petal dance hurts, but not as much as the embarrassment from being assaulted by an octopus does. Legs scratched up and bleeding, the fainted octillery hangs to her skin, suction cups relentless. she feels her face burning red as she removes the thing with a great ball- it's the only way it will word. Red suction spots litter her legs next to cuts, and her fallen pride.

She makes a mental note to text Liam later, quickly snapping a picture of her legs while the large, red suctions marks still look swollen. More pokemon. She needs more. Lancer is replaced with Liam's soon to be spheal, the little seal pokemon looking innocent as possible as it looks at its world from a new view. She takes a few pictures of the thing while her phone is out, to show him later. The spheal won't leave without experiencing evolution.

Another unwelcomed guest drops from the trees, but this one doesn't seem to be interested in Lena's sexuality. The boxing monkey wants a fight, and it gets it in the form of a petal dance. One hit and its pride takes a blow- it rages, but Lena captures the thing before it can do much damage at all. More. She's hungry for power, hungry for variety. She may have main bitches now, but they can easily be side hoes tomorrow.

And now was the spheal's chance. An ice pokemon, lost? Especially this far down from Snowpoint. Not that it matters- the spheal recognizes the species and itches to fight, slapping its tail on the ground, scooting itself forward, ready to take up the challenge. It uses its newest moves to fight the thing, only taking a little bit of a beating along the way. Lena applauds for the little pokemon; even Toad gives a smile and nod of approval, the looming grass-type usually a grump about most things.

The sneasel falls to poison- they all usually do. Lena commemorates the moment by capturing the fainted ice type, saving it for stealth team 1. Almost there, fifth gym badge oh so close now.

One more to go, one more that blocks their path before she can reach the gym. Lena has recalled Toad by now- the Spheal has it all on his own, no assistance needed. Lena is obsessed with the skorupi in front of them; she wants it. "Attack, two aurora beams!" she encourages, obviously excited to see the bug type in person. What a great addition- truly. She almost loses it as the bug faints- the great ball leaves her hand the second it was touched, the skorupi swallowed and transported. She smirks at her victory.

The cute little spheal has other plans than to stay little forever-- Lena has half a mind to stop it from evolving, but she doesn't want to crush its heart. Liam will understand. The sealeo now in front of her is happier than ever, excited at its ability to move easier and clap its fins. On we go, then. She recalls the newly evolved pokemon and heads toward Gym 5.
