Leilani, like her team, was exhausted. A day of training in the wilds wore them all down to the bone, and the young woman could barely find the energy to make her way back down the trails towards town. Lei wiped her brow, and looked up at the setting sun. It’d been a long day, but they were that much stronger for it, albeit barely in any condition to battle at the moment.
As dusk started to slowly set into evening she thought of Unova’s wildlife, how some of the bigger, and stronger, Pokemon came out at night, and reached down into her bag for a repel. When she could not find any, she swore under her breath.
“I should hurry before someth-” and before she could finish her thought she was cut off by a low growl, and loud rustling in the brush nearby. Leilani froze, her Pokemon were in no condition to fight, and as a large Ursaring came stomping out of the treeline she knew running was a stupid move.
The larger ursine Pokemon’s eyes met hers, and she swallowed, and everything seemed to stand still. This was the worst possible time to have near fainted Pokemon and no Pokeballs whatsoever.
In seven and a half years of training, shed never been in a situation this dangerous because of her own stupidity. No balls, healing items, and no Poke dolls or anything that might ward off the large predator.
This was the choice, risk her Pokemon fainting, or die, slowly her hand reached for her first ball, Mudsdale had the most health, though that wasn’t saying too much. Leilani bit her lip, and planted her feet as if to show she wasn't scared. For a moment her mind wandered to the Bewear she caught back in Alola, how she wished it was here now.
She never got to call out her Mudsdale, the Ursaring came at her, roaring loudly as it barreled towards her! She had just enough time between herself and the beast for her Fight or Flight instincts to kick in, and she made a break for it! Lei managed some distance before she tripped over a small rock, and fell into small ditch, and pain shot up her ankle!
She put her arms in front of her face, ready for whatever came! Deep down she hoped her partners sensed the danger and came to her aide, but that was only wishful thinking. She closed her eyes, awaiting the painful end....
