[stirtheblood]

Heeh... I dunno about that.

[Literally. He literally does not know. But he still makes it sound cocky.]

Whaddaya think, Litten?

[derailer]

Litten meows with confidence. He's willing to try if you are!

[stirtheblood]

Then let's go see what this alpha thing is like!

[derailer]

The Shadow gives up on mentioning that the others were also alphas, leading you off towards the right, and crunching up on top of the higher snow drifts to prevent encounters with other Pokemon. Every so often there is a large leaf poking out from the snow.

[stirtheblood]

[This one is clearly the best one!!

Vicious follows, surveying the landscape as he goes.]

Do ya think the people you're lookin' for went this way? Or are ya just indulgin' me?

[derailer]

"They did not come this way. If they did, they would have collected this Sootfoot Root." He gestures to the intermittent plants. "And the Apricorns," he continues, gesturing up at a tree.

[stirtheblood]

[So just indulging him, then. That's nice of him. He seems like a nice guy.]

Those some kinda food...?

[Vicious shifts Litten back to his shoulder so he has a free hand to bend down and tug at one of the leaves.]

[derailer]

If you pull hard enough, you will unearth a tuber, like so.

"Yes, though they have other uses in addition to that."

[stirtheblood]

Other uses...

[Vicious pockets the tuber.]

Well, good t' have some emergency rations in case I get hungry.

[derailer]

"Do you have no intentions of sharing with the clan, or are you playing at being aloof?"

Says the guy playing at being aloof. He holds out an arm to block Vicious from going further, his other arm pointing towards something down the slight slope. It's a Hisuian Sneasel, but a regular one.

"...It's in the alpha's territory, and it will be aggressive, but it is not the alpha."

[stirtheblood]

Why would I share with them...?

[Vicious is not playing, this is a sincere question. He has precisely zero instincts for cooperative society.

He peers at the Sneasel]

So we've gotta fight it as a warmup round, right?

[derailer]

"Or you could avoid it and save your strength for the fight you intended to have. You don't have anything to heal wounds with."

[stirtheblood]

Should I have somethin' to heal wounds with...?

Ya keep criticizin' my plans, but that's assumin' I have plans. I'm just goin' with stuff as it comes up. Not that I got a lotta other options.

[derailer]

"You'll know when I'm criticizing you. I'm letting you know what your options and potential plans are, because I know exactly how ignorant you are. But I will remain silent if you prefer."

[stirtheblood]

If you got somethin' to say, then say it. Just annoyin' that ya keep talkin' like I'm missin' somethin'.

[Even though Vicious is missing something. Or many things.

Vicious turns his head.]

...Whaddaya think, Litten? You'd be the one doin' the fightin'. Wanna have some fun here, or save our strength for the big one?

[derailer]

"You're missing everything," the Shadow says very pointedly.

Litten, after some contemplation, hops down with a battle cry. For whatever reason, he's ready to fight right now!

[stirtheblood]

Eh.

[Vicious is more interested in Litten's response than thinking about all the things he's missing.]

Heh, that's the spirit! I bet you can take 'im down easy!

[derailer]

Litten will dash forward past where the Shadow had suggested to stop, then, running up directly to the Sneasel! His bonus modifier will be smaller this time.

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious also walks around Shadow Ingo to get closer to the fight.]

You ready for this, Sneasel??

[derailer]

Sneasel growls, challenging. He's ready, and already taking a swipe at Litten!

Litten will rely on his fire for this. Roll 2d6+1 in order to find the result of the fight!

[stirtheblood]

[I rolled a 13. Litten's enthusiasm is powerful! This was a good strategy after all, take that Shadow Ingo!!]

Ha!

[derailer]

Take that, Shadow Ingo! Take that, Sneasel! Sneasel succumbs to Litten's flames almost as easily if he were the non-Hisuian typing, staring in awe. But he is still conscious enough to be caught/recruited.

Litten was so impressive, he has gained a level!

[stirtheblood]

[Vicious whoops and cheers.]

Yeah! Nice one, Litten! I knew ya could do it! You showed him! Hmm...

[Then he circles around closer to the defeated Sneasel, crouching down.]

I like yer spirit, though. Ya wanna come along too? I bet things'll start gettin' real interestin'.

[derailer]

Sneasel hesitates, but finally nods. He's curious about what kind of Pokemon Litten is, too. Like Snorunt, Sneasel is currently weak from your battle, but he has joined your team!

Litten, proud of himself, bumps up against your leg to rub happily.

A little ways down the slope, you can see the alpha—a larger Sneasel, with eyes that glow red.

[stirtheblood]

[Hmm... Vicious cannot hold all these Pokémon in his arms... perhaps this is why people use balls for this?

He reaches down to pet Litten, at least, and gives Sneasel a quick pat too before straightening to look down the hill.]

Ooh, there's the big one!
