Alice was tired of walking but she kept going, staying quiet. Since Meg left, she had found herself leading the group more often, and while she enjoyed it at first, it was beginning to wear her down a bit. She would be glad to find Meg again and let her take over. At least for a little while... Alice felt like the group was less cheerful with Rocky gone off with Reese. She hadn't realised how much she would miss having him around. Alice mulled over the events on the ship as they walked, letting Ty's Houndour lead them. She loved dog Pokemon, but they didn't seem to be very common. Her thoughts drifted and she yawned slightly.

Soon they got to a clearing and a few Natu were scattered around. The small round birds seemed quite peaceful. Paprika jumped from Alice's shoulder and tried to sneak up on them, but they seemed to sense her somehow and hopped away from the cheeky mouse.

"Chu!" Paprika said, sniffing the air. She tilted her head slightly, her ears twitching as if she was listening hard. After a moment she shook her head and ran back to Alice.

"Everything okay?" Alice asked, kneeling down.

"Chaa!" Paprika replied, seemingly unconcerned. Alice wasn't sure what had happened but maybe it was a false alarm. She knew the journey so far had been tough on her Pokemon as well. She hadn't gotten to spend as much time just getting to know them and having fun as she would have liked.

On a whim, Alice scooped up the Pikachu and threw her in the air. Paprika let out a surprised "Chu?!" before giggling loudly and landing back in Alice's arms. She used to love playing this game as a child. On the rare occasions that her father was home, she would beg him to throw her into the air. After the first moment of surprise, it felt like flying.

"Let's catch a Natu," Alice said to the Pikachu. Then she threw the Electric type toward the group of birds. "Thunderbolt!"

"Chuuu!" Paprika cried, a small grin still on her face. Her attack missed one of the birds by inches. The Natu hopped away from the rest of the group, and Paprika, now on the ground, stalked closer.

The Natu seemed to sense it was in trouble and began trying to escape, but Paprika was too fast. "Quick Attack! Cut it off!" Alice called out.

Paprika dashed forward, forcing the bird away from the safety of the forest and back toward the middle of the clearing. Knowing it was cornered now, the Natu's eyes began to glow.

"Chaa!" Paprika cried uncomfortably as her whole body began to turn blue. Paprika looked around, seemingly at things that weren't there, her eyes darting back and forth, up and down. The Confusion attack was taking hold.

"Thunderbolt!" Alice cried again. Paprika could still hear, it seemed, and she shot electricity from her cheeks, but the attack was way off the mark, hitting a nearby log and splintering it into fragments. Alice's eyes widened. The log could easily have been her or one of the other trainers. This battle was too dangerous to continue. She returned Paprika for a rest and sent out Plume.

"We need to be quick now, little one," Alice said, kneeling next to the Archen. The Natu looked around angrily, wondering where its opponent had escaped to.

"Hit it with Rock Throw!"

"Aaack!" Plume squawked, flapping her wings wildly. The ancient fossil power coursed through her veins and into the earth, sending rocks flying at the Psychic bird. The Natu was hit badly by a flurry of stones. Alice took the opportunity to fling a Pokeball.
