Raphael wiped a thin sheen of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. The weather may have been cooling a bit with the seasons changing, but with the sun beating down on the sandy paths of the Silent Sands, it was still pretty warm in the desert-like area. He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his sweat-damped hair.

His Floatzel, in a wayward, cheeky way to help, promptly shot a blast of water in his trainer's face, causing Raph to blubber and stumble backwards.

"Thanks," was the young man's deadpanned response, to which Rio snickered. The Floatzel was walking on all fours next to his trainer while his Raichu and Simisage teammates were bouncing ahead of the pair.

"Keep close enough so I can see you," Raphael shouted to his other Pokemon. The last thing he needed was for Nash or Dixie to get too curious and start exploring one of the nearby caves on their own. The purpose of this walk was to see what kind of wild Pokemon were around, but Raph had no idea how strong said Pokemon were.

There were unfamiliar Pokemon roaming the area, and this particular Numel wasn't thrilled about it.

What in the name of Arceus was the green thing with the ridiculous hair? The Numel blinked slowly as she tried to discern what it was as it bounced past her particular cave. Finding that she couldn't figure it out, the Numel decided to just take care of the intruder and shot a Flame Burst out at it as she lumbered out of her cavern.

Rio saw the Flame Burst before Nash had. The Floatzel dashed forward, knocking the Simisage out of the way (much to Nash's chagrin) and took the Fire-type attack. It didn't harm Rio too much, and Rio retaliated with an Aqua Jet attack.

The charged shot of water smacked into the Numel and sent her tumbling back into her cave.

Raphael raised an eyebrow at the swift battle. "...Okay then. Good job, Rio. Let's keep moving, guys."

A wave of electricity soared out toward the group of Pokemon and human. The Thunder Wave came from a grumpy Flaaffy, having been woken up from her nap due to the short commotion from the Floatzel and the Numel. The Flaaffy stumbled out of a nearby cave, here to see if her Thunder Wave did anything to make the intruders pause.

If they were paralyzed, then they wouldn't cause anymore trouble and she could go back to sleep.

Rio snarled as the Thunder Wave squarely hit him. His limbs seized up enough so he fell to the side and Raphael wasted no time in returning his Floatzel to his pokeball. He would make a quick stop to buy some paralyz heal later.

Glancing at the wild Electric-type, Raphael figured this was a good chance to catch another Pokemon for his ranch. "Nash, use Seed Bomb," he commanded, mindful of the static ability that some Flaaffy had.

Nash bounded into the battle with glee and attacked, his powerful move combined with a probably higher level leaving the Flaaffy gasping. Dixie caught back up to the group just as Raphael threw a Great Ball at the wild Pokemon, hoping that the Flaaffy was too weak to resist getting caught.

A stray breeze picked up in the area, swirling handfuls of sand around the rancher and his Pokemon, signs that a sandstorm was coming on the horizon...

Raphael went to pick up the Great Ball that had stilled, catching it before the wind, swirling with sand, blew it away. He pocketed his newest Pokemon, making a note to order some more potions and other medicine, before praising and recalling Nash.

"Dixie." At his call, his Raichu bounded over to him and he bent down to let her climb onto his shoulder. Raph covered his mouth against the sand that was picking up and said to her, "Let's get out of here before we get caught by a storm."
