WHAT: Sonic is having trouble catching more pokemon and the others finally talk to him about it.
WHEN: Slightly backdated to 11/24, afternoon
WHERE: Route 5

Sonic has a problem.

Since his start on his adventure, he's been having to adjust to a lot. Being in another world, the existence of Pokemon, the idea of having to capture them and training them to fight, getting badges. That sort of thing. However, he's having trouble capturing pokemon.

Sure he got his first badge and has a full party of pokemon at this point, but he has way less pokemon than he should. The girls especially had way more than him and Fluttershy wasn't even battling really, just befriending them.

While traveling on the current route, Sonic moved away from the group a bit, and got jumped by a wild pokemon. A wild Skiddo to be more exact.

This was a normal occurrence and Sonic is used to that by now. At first the battle seemed to be going well, but that changed when he attempted to capture it.

First he threw it too early, making it easy for the Skiddo to break out of it. And then he tried switching to Caliburn, but when Caliburn attacked with a Tackle, it made the wild pokemon faint.

Sonic makes a facepalm and shakes his head.

"Man, this really bites."

He wasn't paying full attention at the moment so he won't see any possible fellow trainers showing up coming.

Oh okay, it wants to play. Okay, he's cool with that. He catches the ball and tosses it. "Fetch!"

Sonic then notices the Torchic and realizes that's Fluttershy's. Wait, did that mean Fluttershy was here? Well he is still traveling with Tails and the girls.

"Hi there Beakon."

Meanwhile Sonic's pokemon were playing with each other by themselves. It was rare of Sur'ah to leave Sonic alone, but apparently she noticed Sonic's frustration and decided to give him some space a bit.

"Aud!" Following the ball, Audino lets it bounce off her head again and sends it back towards him.

Beakon waves, then disappears back into the bushes. A few moments later, Fluttershy arrives.

"Oh, Sonata...! There you are..."

Hearing Fluttershy's voice, the Audino turns and heads over to her. "'dino...!"

Fluttershy smiles, then looks over and sees Sonic. "Oh...have you two met already?"

Sonic catches it again and was gonna throw it again when he heard Fluttershy's call. So she was here. Hopefully she didn't see him fail at trying to catch a pokemon again.

"So that liitle guy's yours, huh? Now it makes sense."

"Mm, sort of...She's actually a little lost...her home is a little further away from here. So I thought she could travel with us until we get to where she's supposed to be. She said I could call her Sonata in the meantime, though."

Audino smiles, tugging at Fluttershy's bag happily. "Aud!"

Sonic shrugs.

"I don't see why not."

He holds up the ball of yarn.

"Is this yours then? Apparently Sonata wanted to play."

"Oh, yes...!" She doesn't get a chance to move, though, before Audino goes over to get the yarn ball and bring it back to Fluttershy.

"We were all playing earlier...Chris bounced it a bit too hard, and Sonata had gone to go get it. We were wondering what was taking so long..."

"Good thing Sonata ran into me. Who knows what kind of wild pokemon could be out here?"

Granted Sonic would of course defend Sonata if the Audino got into trouble.

Fluttershy nodded. "Mm...it was quite lucky." She tilts her head curiously. "But, um...what are you doing out here...?"

She then blushes a bit. "O-Oh, I'm sorry...that's really nosy of me..."

"Nah it's fine. I was just training out here and catch some new pokemon."

Several of Sonic's pokemon seemingly start laughing or at least the closest thing you can get to that as they seemed amused by what Sonic said.

Sur'ah puffs her feathers up in annoyance. "Eeeotto..."

Sonic makes a line face. "What? What is so funny?"

Fluttershy blinks, picking up here and there from his chuckling Pokemon.

"O-Oh...h-how's that going?"

"Pretty well."

If Fluttershy listens carefully she might hear a comment from Sparks, Sonic's Pikachu.

"More like terrible, as usual."

"A-Ah...I see..."

Whether she's responding to Sonic or Sparks, it's hard to tell.

"I-It um...It seems pretty difficult...catching Pokemon that way..."

Sure she's gotten a few Pokemon herself, but none from actually battling them. She's sure she'd have a hard time catching them that way too.

"Nah, it's not that hard. Just takes some practice and trial and error."

"Seriously, when will he just admit that he's having trouble?"

"He only caught us out of pure luck."

"Why are we obeying him again?"

The chatter among Sonic's pokemon seem to anger Sur'ah a little and she takes into the air and starts shouting at them. "Knock it off, all of you!"

Sonic didn't expect Sur'ah going crazy. "Woah woah woah. Guys settle down, will ya?"

"Oh...!" She's a bit alarmed as well, but lets Cloe go and settle things between Sonic's Pokemon, hopefully before any fighting happens between them.

"So...what's the best way to, uh...to catch Pokemon? By battling, I mean..."

Maybe if she can get him to talk about it a bit, she can understand what his Pokemon meant by "having trouble".

The pokémon yelling gets the attention of a certain green-haired pony and her own team, and the mare trots through the bushes near by. "What's all that racke-" Oh... "Is..somethin' wrong, Miss Fluttershy, Sir Sonic?"

Well it might take a while for Cloe to do so.

"Just mainly weaken them enough to capture."

He notices the familiar pony approaching.

"No, everything's cool."

Of course as soon as Sonic says that, the yelling from Sonic's pokemon get louder.

"Geez, what's gotten into them?"

Fluttershy frowned as she glanced towards the group of Pokemon. Cloe was trying to buy some time so she could figure out what was going on, but at this rate everyone was just going to start fighting soon.

"Th...Th-The others have been saying things that...upset Sur'ah..."

Tails hadn't noticed the commotion due to being pre-occupied with a wild Pokemon battle a bit away. He noticed it, though, and quickened his pace to catch back up with the group.

"Whoa, what's the problem?" Pokemon arguing? Hoo boy...

"Not sure but I guess the others made Sur'ah mad."

"Quit trying to win his favor! You know as well as we do that he's only gotten this far by pure luck."

"That doesn't mean you guys have to be so mean about it!"

"So you admit that he's having trouble with this?"

Sur'ah let out a loud cry. "Don't you go confusing me!"

Sonic sighed. "Wish I know what they were talking about."
