The pair would find themselves stopping abruptly as another trainer and pokemon duo burst across the path from the bushes nearby, causing them both to stop dead in their tracks. "Rude." Sable muttered under her breathe as she watched them hurriedly vanish into the trees to her left.

<"Totally, but I wonder what they're after?"> Zobiris said as she curiously peered down the impromptu path that woman had taken with her Houndour. It seemed as if they were on the scent of something and ghost pokemon couldn't contain her curiosity as to what. <"We should follow them.">

"That's not what we're here for..." Sable said, her own eyes following the trail they had taken. She couldn't help but feel the curiosity building within her as well. They two did seem to be going somewhere awfully fast. "Fine, let's follow them. But if I get bitten by a bug pokemon it's your fault."

With a grin the Zobiris shot off after Ten with Sable close behind the ghost type who would zip through the underbrush with ease. Eventually they would come to a clearing in the trail where they would find Ten and her pokemon. Sable and Zobiris stayed back in the treeline, curious as to what the pair were hunting for. Sable was content to sit in the shadows and watch when something heavy and squishy landed on her back.

Sable went tense, turning her head ever so to see what it was. Her mind began to panic before it even saw the large spider like pokemon crawling up her shoulder and when her fears were confirmed she burst out of the bushes and towards Ten in a blind panic, screaming.

<"HOLD STILL WOMAN!"> Zobiris cried as she launched herself into the air and grabbed the Spinarak from Sable's back and tossed it on the ground.

"KILL IT, KILL IT, KILL IT!" Sable cried, wincing and running her arms over her chest as if to rid herself of the feeling of a bug type crawling along her body.

<"I won't kill it but we can faint it, how's that sound?"> Sableye asked, unable to hide the amusement in her words at the sight of her trainer squirming.

"Fine, shadow claw!" Sable cried. Zobiris was all too happy to comply with the request. The tips of her fingers turned a murky black as she ran forward and landed a solid hit along the bug type's body.

Spinarak was ready to fight for his life upon hearing the woman's screech to kill it. He reared back and shot a string shot at his opponent, covering her a ropey webbing that slowed Zobiris significantly.

"You don't have to move to use confuse ray!" Sable said, seeing her pokemon covered in the icky webbing. Zobiris nodded in confirmation and used confuse ray, waving her hands hypnotically and knocking the Spinarak into a blind confusion.

The bug type blinked slowly and swung his tiny arms out in an attempt to hit Zobiris? The attack was not only ineffective but ended with him slapping himself in the face. "Nice one Zobiris, use power gem!"

Zobiris did as she was told, shooting a powerful gem apparition at the Spinarak, knocking the wounded pokemon back. He would wobble on two legs before righting himself, barely able to keep himself upright. In a last ditch effort to save himself Spinarak used absorb, weakly pulling some life from the ghost type.

However the attack was not enough to sustain him as Sable ordered another shadow claw. The move was quick and landed powerfully and within moments the bug type was fainted, his still body laying quietly on the forest floor.

"I don't like bugs." Sable said towards Ten, rubbing the back of her head nervously at the display of brutality and loss of control she had just let this stranger witness.
