Rosa tweeted in distress when the glameow's tail wrapped around Bela's neck, the sneasel only able to make a little, strangled noise before she hit the ground face-first. Bela gritted her teeth at the taunt, but was largely trying to manage to keep breathing, something made infinitely harder by the feeling of paws kneading her back and the sudden weight of the fat snake-butt using her as a cat bed.
Now what?
Now the glameow got to find out what is was like to have one's face attacked by an angry spritzee.
Rosa raced toward that smug face as much as a spritzee could race and just started pecking madly without trying to aim, practically shrieking in rage as a stream of furious profanity emerged from her, interspersed with orders to get off her friend and threats that involved some very elaborate, gruesome forms of death. Of course, she was a fairy bird and it was likely all gibberish to the feral cat, but Rosa officially didn't care.
Bianca, meanwhile, bolted to her feet when she saw Bela hit the ground. For a second, she forgot entirely about her new shellder as she completely tunnel-visioned in a rush of what she'd likely describe in hindsight as maternal fury. She felt a strong urge to pick up her fishing pole, run over, and bludgeon the glameow into submission, but, luckily, a better idea came to her before she could start to carry that plan out. She instead grabbed up Bela's pokeball and took careful aim; there was a certain amount of homing ability in the pokeball's recall mechanism, she knew, but she still tried her best to aim it at one of the limbs sticking out from under the glameow all the same.

"Rehrw!" the cat screeched as the bird 'got all up in its business.' Glameow started swiping at the completely obnoxious bird who could have easily been its lunch had it gotten to her first. Another idea blinked into the Feral's mind. Lunch. As the Spritzee took her next move at the cat, it opened its mouth wide. Rosa successfully landed the front portion of her body in the Glameow's mouth. This battle was officially won for the cat. Of course, it completely forgot about the human standing just a few feet away.
As Bianca withdrew her Sneasel, the purple cat fell back into the hard earth and coughed up the Spritzee, as well as a few pink feathers. Another hiss at the trainer, and then the Glameow fell to its side, exhausted. This one was a fighter, a quality that would eventually serve Bianca well. However, it was currently a thorn in her side, and that thorn would only wedge deeper if the cat joined her party. The choice was left to Bianca though. Glameow had been knocked out and open to be caught.
Bela was Withdrawn! Glameow fainted!

Rosa hopped a frantic circle on the ground, shaking off her wet feathers. Ew. Ew ew ew ew ew. That was so gross. Feral pokemon were so gross. Ew ew ew...
It was lucky for the glameow that she was spit out so quickly, because Bianca would have not hesitated to switch to plan B of brutal beating via fishing pole if that wasn't the case. As it was, she raced over and knelt down, picking up her spit-covered bird. "Are you okay?" Rosa twittered an affirmative, but then looked at her wings again with disgust. Bianca gave a little, relieved laugh. "Don't worry, mi amiga. You can have a nice, warm bath when we get home."
Rosa instantly perked up at the word 'bath' and gave a cheerful tweet. Baths were wonderful, amazing things. Bianca chuckled as she carried Rosa back over to where she'd been sitting, and then placed her gently on the ground before starting to go through her bag. It was then that Rosa noticed the statue-still shellder.
Rosa tilted her whole body to one side in confusion, and twittered a 'hello' at the water pokemon. It didn't budge. She hopped forward a little and peered at it curiously, twittering a little louder. Nothing. She waved a single wing in front of it. She thought she saw its eyes move to follow it...slightly. So, alive, then? Well, good, but that just raised further questions. She continued to twitter, determined to snap the other pokemon out of whatever stupor it was in.
Bianca paused and looked down at her spritzee's valiant attempts to make contact as she pulled out an empty pokeball. When Rosa paused and looked up at her curiously, Bianca shrugged. "I don't know either." It was starting to worry her, to be honest. Maybe I should take the poor fella to an Inn, just to make sure there's nothing wrong.
However, right now there was something else on the agenda. Bianca walked over to where the mutant glameow was lying on the ground, and she frowned a little. This little kitty was going to be very mad upon recovery, she was sure, but there was a lot of potential here. She knelt down, examining the glameow's mutated tail up-close for a moment before she lightly tapped the pokeball on the unconscious feline's head.
That taken care of, she headed back and sat down again next to Rosa, who was still trying to make conversation with a comatose shellder. The spritzee glanced up once, then went right back to twittering on about who-knows-what at length to her new acquaintance. Bianca left her to it, instead activating Bela's pokeball again to let her out.
The sneasel's first moment was spent taking in a deep breath, the next hissing loudly as she looked around for the glameow. Then she deflated with another hiss, this one a pained one. Bianca reached out and gently scratched Bela behind her feathered ear. "You did great, mi gatita," she assured her, and Bela leaned into the affection until Bianca withdrew and went for her bag again. She didn't have any potions on her right now--a poor decision, in hindsight--but she did have her first aid kit, and even with how quickly pokemon healed, it couldn't hurt to clean and dress those wounds.
She opened the kit and pulled out some of the alcohol. "Over here, Bela. Let's clean those scratches up a little." Bela raised a paw, trying to motion that it was not that bad, but caught the look on Bianca's face and decided not to argue. She walked over and pulled her paws away to expose the scratches on her front. "It'll sting," Bianca warned, and Bela opened her mouth, looking mildly offended, only to hiss at the touch of the swab; Bianca resisted the urge to say 'I told you so.'
She carefully cleaned the scratches on both Bela's front and back, then pulled out the bandages to carefully wrap them. Bela looked down at her wrapped-up midsection, then sat down to stare at Rosa twittering away at the shellder instead. Once Bianca put everything back in the first aid kit, Bela looked at her and gestured at the one-sided conversation with a confused chatter. Bianca just shrugged back.

And then someone in town broke the ocean! (By which I mean I'm open to an Anorith encounter.)

One shake, two shakes, ding. The Glameow was all hers. Shellder was unable to really comprehend anything that the Spritzee was tweeting out, but it was still way too scared to actually move from its current position.
Just as Bianca had wrapped up Bela, a woman went screaming past her. What in the- Behind the lady were two antropodic Pokemon that were "chasing" her. They were in pursuit anyway, but they were much too slow to keep up with unreasonably terrified lady. Maybe she just didn't like bugs? Bianca's X-gear flashed, the broadcast station's audio sounded.
~An Anorith Swarm has invaded Port City! It is requested that all available trainers aid in their eradication~
Well, that was that. Not that Bianca really had a choice. As soon as the two Anorith saw the trainer - or more likely, her shellfish, they began to scuttle her way. Another one appeared with more stealth, and snapped at the Spritzee with its pincers.
Anorith swarm. Alright.

Bianca couldn't help the look of sheer 'what in the?' as the woman ran, screaming, right past her. She blinked once at her retreating form, then at the two feral pokemon. Then her X-Gear helpfully piped up to fill her in on what was going on. Swarm. Right. Okay.
And now they were heading straight for Bianca and her pokemon. Her eyes flicked to her paralyzed shellder. Of course. More pokemon wanting to make a meal out him. "Oh, hell no." Deciding that there wasn't much the feral shellfish could actually do to her should he object to physical contact, Bianca threw caution to the wind and scooped the shellder up into her arms, stood up, and started to make aggressive kicking motions in the direction of the approaching anorith. "Fuera! Fuera! Fuera!" It wasn't quite the fishing pole of doom, but it was maybe a little threatening?
Rosa let out a shrill tweet as the third anorith snapped at her, flapping away slightly. Then, she got an idea, and her expression turned much...sweeter. The spritzee batted her eyelashes at the feral anthropod and blew it a kiss with her most adorable twitter. She was fairly certain that it had never seen potential prey do that before, so maybe she'd disorient it a little.
Bela certainly wasn't going to be kept from the fight, either. Rosa had had her back with glameow, so she'd return the favour, bandages or no bandages. And, now, she had a new trick she wanted to try. She got to her paws and raced toward the anorith, claws readied, only to vanish from sight and reappear behind it for a surprise attack.

With an unsynchronized blink, the bug tilted its body to one side as Rosa threw her kisses at it. Wh-What? Unfortunately, this state of confusion snapped when Bela struck the Pokemon from behind. Not even a flinch from the Anorith as it turned around and hissed at the Sneasel. It threw a claw forward and grazed the Pokemon's chest, then went for another attack.
Bianca wasn't having great luck either. These things were like vicious, prehistoric lobsters! Though she managed to kick to first one, sending it rebounding back a few feet, the second one had latched onto her foot. Before she had time to try and pull it off, it was making its way up her leg. Apparently it could crawl up material too. Hm. Who knew? It stopped at her waist and started to grab for the Shellder, pinching Bianca in the process. Anorith 1 was already scuttling its way back to the trainer, hissing and snapping before it had even gotten to her.
A rising tone sounded from the Shellder as the Anorith approached. The little thing shook its head and licked the bug Pokemon in its displaced eyes. Though it didn't fall off, the Pokemon did freeze. Good going Shellder!
Sneasel's attack was extremely ineffective... Anorith 3 used Scratch on Sneasel! Shellder used Lick! ( Hidden move discovered - because why can't Shellder learn lick!?)

Bela made a distinct 'oh crap' face as it occurred to her that trying to use her new trick on something with an exoskeleton was really, really stupid, right before the claw lashed out and she hissed in pain. Okay. Fine. New plan. Use the other new trick. Bela bolted straight toward the anorith, her form blurring slightly with a burst of speed, in an attempt to see if she could knock it over. She out-weighed this thing, right? And it didn't look like it could right itself too easily.
Rosa, meanwhile, let out a loud twitter as she was ignored in favour of Bela. Her move may have given the other pokemon an opening, but it hadn't been a well-exploited one, so she supposed it was time to fall back on the old favourites. She flapped up into the air out of pincer range and whipped up a gust of wind to hurl at the aquatic pokemon in an attempt to assist in the knocking over.
Bianca let out a whoop of triumph as she sent one of the anorith flying. "Yes! Haha--No, no, off!" She hopped a little bit, clutching the shellder close as one of the determined ferals started climbing her pant leg. "These are my favourite jeans you litt--OW!" She yelped as she was pinched. "Gilipollas!" she swore. The sight of the shellder finally coming back to reality and giving the intruding pokemon a lick made her give a small laugh. "Good Shellder! Bueno!" She knew he couldn't understand her, but she felt the urge to praise all the same.
With another silent thanks to the almighty Arceus, this time for her arm strength, and carefully transferred the shellfish to a single arm, trying to both cradle him and hold on tight. She then used her newly freed hand to swing a few punches at those big, googly eyes to see if she could get the anorith off her before the other one tried to join it.

A clicking sound came from the third anorith, almost like a sinister laugh as it relished in the dismay written plainly on the sneasel's face. Even its claws joined the merriment as they opened and closed with crispness akin to slicing scissors. Sadly, the shrimp's joy quickly diminished. Its eyes widened just before impact. The collision caused by the sneasel sent it flying back, claws waving uselessly through the air, only to have the second domestic batter it with a slap of wind.
Anorith 3 cried out in a garbled voice as the attacks came together in quick succession to form a perfect storm of sorts. As the fairy bird's wind pushed with the momentum of Bela's attack, there was little room to prepare a comeback. Anorith 1 didn't even see what was headed its way until it was too late.
Both arthropods came together in a surprise clash of squirming bodies. The serrated edges of their segmented shell locked them together with claws lashing at the air. Their frantic squeals overpowered the noises of the tryst, eventually dying out as the two sea dwellers worked against each other to get free.
Anorith 2 wasn't having much luck either. Its hungry pincer reached forward but clamped down on Bianca's shirt, just short of its target. It cried out its frustration, eyes pinched tight. It was a good thing too, or Bianca's fist might have never made it past the claws. The anorith loosened its grip but hung on with persistence. Gravity took control moments later as its clamped pincer finally lost its hold on her shirt. A hard thump followed the brief plunge which resulted in the feral arthropod landing right on its back. It wobbled back and forth with legs sticking straight up in the air.
Looks like Bianca received a lucky break. It might be a good idea to subdue it for good before it rights itself.

Bianca, in the midst of battering the anorith clinging to her with her fist, suddenly froze and stared in disbelief as another one went soaring past her upside-down and collided with the one that had been heading for her. As gravity finished the job for her, and her pant-climber went tumbling to the ground, she looked over her shoulder at Bela and Rosa, who were staring at their handiwork. They then both cracked up laughing and high-fived.
Bianca couldn't help a few giggles of her own as the two stuck-together anorith squealed and flailed in distress, and she raised her new shellder up to face-level, noting with some satisfaction that he didn't look quite as impossibly wide-eyed. She lightly kissed the top his shell, then shifted back into the cradling position she'd been holding him in. Now, to make sure the climber didn't attempt a round two of that whole thing.
Bianca's solution to the question of how to accomplish this was very simple. She raised one boot-clad foot and moved to plant it firmly on top of one of the anorith's claws to keep it pinned to the ground upside-down. Strong as pokemon could be sometimes, she was fairly confident in her ability to pin the limb of a thirty-or-so pound anthropod, especially since she was certainly no lightweight twig of a woman. "My Shellder," she snarled down at it.
Bela and Rosa, as their mirth died down, turned their attention to the two victims of their little act of teamwork, noting the fact that they seemed to be trying to co-ordinate their freedom. They both looked at each other and nodded, Bela in particular wearing a big, toothy grin. Time to play 'be as distracting as possible.'
Rosa fluttered over to the pair, darting around in the air out of pincer range. One of these of the two had gotten to see her charm in action, but the other had not, and so that one made the perfect victim. She immediately turned on the adorableness, tweeting sweetly, batting her eyes, and blowing kisses.
Bela, meanwhile, gave a loud chatter, trying to grab the attention of the anorith she'd recent hit like a battering ram. She blew a loud raspberry, then turned around to shake her tailfeathers at the stuck feral mockingly. Not so tough now, huh? That armour sure wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Good thing she didn't have any of that nonsense. Nope, just a squishy little mammal with soft skin who had kicked its carapace.

It was a good thing Bianca decided to stick to her two starter pokemon. The teamwork they showed was superb and quite helpful, to say the least. The pair of knotted anorith stood no chance against them, though by now they were less stuck than before. Anorith 1, as it was struck by the confusing show of affection, swiped a claw at the bird only to whop the other anorith on the head. Oh no (..or oh, yes), seems like Rosa confused it. Let's hope it doesn't snap out of it anytime soon. It could be your blessing in disguise.
Meanwhile, Anorith 3 was staring down the sneasel with malevolence. The cruelty that spewed from its mouth was lost in translation but the mean gestures that accompanied the biting words conveyed the taunt quite well. It slammed its claws into the ground as hard as it could, hooking the tip of one as far in as it could go. It was determined to get free and shove that cockiness so far down the sneasel's throat it would never see the light of day again.
Until its confused partner's claw slammed into it's head. Stars buzzed around Anorith 3's head for what seemed like a decade. Anger quickly set in where the fuzzy hints of the hit lingered. With all effort, it tore itself from the other in a flurry of hate and blind rage. Racing as fast as its little arthropod legs could go, Anorith 3 had its sights set on Bela. With claw extended, it went to scratch her across the face. That should show her.
Anorith 2 was still down on its luck. Its eyes widened and a squeal of mercy erupted from its body just before the boot collided with its upturned claws. It struggled against the weight of Bianca, but to no avail. Only a few seconds did it gain a bit of an upperhand as it poured all strength into its limbs, gaining a precious few centimeters of freedom that lasted long enough for it to partially out. Of course, this meant it no longer had its claws to block her boot which left it wheezing against the uncomfortable weight.
------------------ Anorith 1 is hit by sweet kiss! - is now confused! - hit Anorith 3 in its confusion. Anorith 2 is trying to resist...and failing! Anorith 3 is being taunted (and doesn't appreciate it)! - used scratch on Bela -------------------
