see amid the winters snow

Sorry it's been so long, but once it was sorted out there was christmas to enjoy.

We were soon attacked by the source of the trouble. A sneasel, that had clearly inherited Avalanche.
'Ok, Dark and Ice.....Ah! Don, get Hitmonchan to use Mach punch! Should be a times 4!'
'Err, ok. Hitmonchan, what he said.'
'Chaaaaan!'
'Rattata, flame wheel!'
'Ratatatatatatatataaaaaaaaaa'
'Every little helps I suppose. Onix, Rock tomb!'
'Oooooooooooooooooooor!'
Butterfree's strongest move at the time was psychic type, so he stayed back. In his Pokéball in fact. A couple more mach punches and flamewheels, and sneasel looked weak. He was really string! Took quite a few X4 attacks and kept standing! Until Glaceon tackled it to the floor that is. Just stood over it and growled. Leapt back from a fury swipes with a whimper, then pounced again. I grabbed an arm as it went to swipe again, and Glaceon seemed to smile. We were stuck there as long as it struggled though. Then there was a weird glow from the cave-in. A red glow, getting bigger and bigger, as if it was getting closer. Then there was a cracking sound of ice breaking apart, and loads of steam. Through I saw two silhouettes.
'Guess who's ember just got stronger!'
'Ragnarok!'
He walked out of the cloud of steam, a charmeleon at his side. 'He evolved to make it more powerful, to get us out.'
He hugged Charmeleon, and looked at us. 'Ah, culprit? Stand back.'
'We can't. He's fast.'
Sneasel lifted it's head to look at Rag and his Pokémon. Seeing this. Glaceon headbutted it. Sneasel's lay back looking dazed.
'That'll work. Be quick, we can't leave him for long.'
'Ember and Metal Claw, Charmeleon!'
'Chaaaaaaaaar, Char!'
He covered Sneasel in flames, and as they started to recede, plunged claws deep in it's chest. He didn't stab it, but it looked painful. Sneasel just lay there.
'Anyone want a sneasel?'
None of us did, so we left him. As we were walking away, I saw a figure in a long coat and wide brimmed hat watching us. He turned away and walked off as soon as he noticed me looking. Great. More mysteries. Ah well.

Christmas was good, most eventful being giving a friend from Uni a Pokémon for a present. She's always loved Pokémon, it turns out, so seemed like fun. There still aren't many around, but I found one I think she'll like. She's not so keen on the later generations, so it was a bit harder, but turns out I chose well. More on her later.

Oh, and if I haven't mentioned already, I've befriended a Porygon that's now living in my Mac. Haven't caught him yet, haven't really needed to.

Not a Winter Wonderland!

The snow is awesome, but it's getting a bit much. There's loads. It's causing some problems. There was an Avalanche yesterday, and now Rag's trapped. He was investigating a new cave that had appeared recently, and there was this roar and the entrance vanished in a wave of snow. We're trying all we can, but it froze, and we can't get through. Rattata's flame wheel dents it, but not enough, and Hitmonchan is punching away but he's not getting very far. He needs to train more. I just hope he's ok.....

Babies it's cold outside!

The babies in question are Pichu and Happiny. They aren't happy about how protective Jonny and Ragnarok are being. They want to play, but outside is nothing but frost and ice. Butterfree's not happy either. Ice is supereffective against both bug and flying. Rattata's coping well, but uses flamewheel quite a lot. Glaceon is of course living it, as is snover. This of course means a lot of ice pokémon have been coming through the waves. My lecturers have been fairly understanding, especially the one that Muk kidnapped. They let me run off whenever I have to, Poképals at my side.

That's all for now, just realised I hadn't done one of these for ages, so I thought I'd make sure you were still in the loop. Bye!
