Flareon may be facing off against an alpha, but he has STAB plus 4x effectiveness. He still gets +2 after the -1, and rolls a 10! He barks in assent, before shooting off a Flamethrower.
Abomasnow is reeling, just hanging on. Either of you could catch it!
Congratulations! You now have an Abomasnow, which has a +1 by default due to being an Alpha. However, it took a lot of damage from that flamethrower. It has 3 points of damage that will be a -3 negative modifier unless you heal it.
Flareon is relieved it went well, leaning into the fluffs.
[flareon gets additional pets... frillish hovers nearby, watching, and it gets pets as well. you're still a good jellyfish, frillish.]
Think we'd better have a look around here, that didn't seem like it would be easy to get past.
[so, time to check out the area abomasnow was previously chilling in; is there anything odd over here? any indication that maybe this pokemon caused a few problems?]
It seems for a moment as if the danger has passed, and if there is nothing in particular in this immediate area. But the Snover who were followers of the alpha are now acting aggressive, angry at you for taking out the leader of their group. There are two of them in range. One of them makes to attack, charging an Energy Ball!
Energy Ball does do a decent amount of damage against Frillish, being a Grass-type move. But in the end, Snover is still a weaker minion-type Pokemon. Shadow Ball manages to take it out! A victory for Frillish!!
Sigilyph, meanwhile, totally owns the other Snover with an Air Slash, causing it to flinch before any damage can be done. This Snover teeters, not quite out. It can be caught!
You successfully heal Frillish, and catch a Snover! (Who will also have damage until healed.)
Now that it's much more peaceful, you can see that the party must have stopped collecting materials right around here. There are rocks that haven't been broken open for stones, and some tufts of plants that haven't been picked. You think you can hear something...
...ah. I think that's-- I don't know if it's a good sign, but it's a sign, for sure.
[she's kneeling down to check out one of those plants, while she listens to whatever the sound is-- can they hear more or less where it's coming from?]
Flareon creeps forward, too. It starts sounding like the voice is coming from underneath you, echoing. It's difficult to spot even when you're being careful about your approach, because of the snowstorm and everything being a haze of white. But there's a large hole where the ground opens up to an icy cavern.
"We're saved!" sobs the voice. If you are being careful about peering in, you can see about five people at the bottom of this hole, but it's as if you're on the second floor of a building while they're on the first. It's quite a drop, and the cavern walls are made of solid ice, with curved walls. There's no way they can climb up. Not all of the people in the pit even seem fully conscious.
...we're going to have to find some way to get them out. Flareon, if you can get down there safely-- they're going to need warmth in these conditions, best not to wait.
[she's gauging the distance, meanwhile, considering. how big is that abomasnow they have again?]
If we heal up our new friend here a bit, then maybe it can lend a hand.

[DAMN, FLAREON. he's here to carry them through this, they will spoil this animal so much...
with the abomasnow reeling, though, it looks like they have an opening. lucretia takes a pokeball in hand and flings it!]

[ Well! For now! She's just lavishing Flareon with love before she straightens and holds up the lantern again to check for anything strange. ]

[damnit. not the time to run, if these are already attacking, so:]
Frillish! Let's try something different, this time.
[water won't do much good against grass, after all, so ghost moves it is!
and frillish gets a 7 against one of them, let's gooo.]
no subject
Let's do this, then! Sigilyph, let's put those wings of yours to use!
[ Well. This thing is also Grass, right? And Sigilyph's got Flying going for her, might as well abuse it. Flareon can't do all the work here. ]

The sound is coming just slightly further down in the direction where you were originally headed.
no subject
Sorry, buddy. [ to the newly-caught Snover in the Pokeball-- ] I'll give you a potion once we get through this.
Lucretia, let's proceed carefully.
no subject
[So she'll stick close, both for the lantern light and to make sure they're both nearby if anything happens.]
no subject
"Help..."
You don't see anyone, but...!
no subject
[ More careful proceeding and she's keeping Sigilyph out, casting the lantern about to try to catch a glimpse of anything. ]
no subject
[onward toward that sound! she's hurrying a bit, as much as is reasonable given their caution.]

If you let out Abomasnow to check the height, she's 10'10" or 3.3 meters tall.
