After Taillow falls, the silence settles in as the rambunctiously loud bird finally is defeated and lays knocked out cold. There's a settling down of leaves and the breeze settling back in for just a moment. The trainer and her pokemon would see that the Taillow was still breathing, but seemingly calm now as he lays on the ground. There is no more chaos left. As the battle ends, there's a shuffling of leaves above. A soft sound of little steps beginning to move at the sound of the fire type's voice. A soft sound settles as the little steps almost seem to stop frighteningly. There's no response of a voice, but the silence of something staying hidden and no longer seemingly moving from the tree itself. A quiet settles down for a second, until it's broken.
Whatever it was, was approaching quickly. The sound of snapping twigs and crunching leaves ringing out. A laughter escapes from whoever's moving closer and closer to this area. The sight is almost surprising. A boy seemingly come from the woods itself. His hair is tangled with some twigs throughout. His clothes are covered in dirt and some holes from being worn down over time. The bottoms of his feet, his hands, and face have bits of dirt all over them. As he steps out, there's an immediate surprise in his eyes as he notices the trainer and her pokemon. His voice comes out loud and excitedly. Almost looking to the trainer and then to the knocked out Taillow on the ground. "Oh! Lady you took my job!" The whine comes out a bit too loudly, almost annoyingly so as he says it.
"I was supposed to knock out that Taillow!" Crossing his arms, seemingly unaware of the noises coming from the tree itself. Whatever was up there seemingly having stopped as soon as the boy walked into the area. Nikko continued to seem annoyed, acting like a bit of a brat, but he'd genuinely been trying to stop that Taillow for days! Who could blame him! "What am I supposed to do now!" Nikko's voice raising with every syllable.

After the immediate threat was taken care of, Cynder had hoped that whoever was in hiding would be willing to come out. Their savior had arrived, after all, and it wasn't like they meant any harm. Nevertheless, no one so much as peeked out of hiding, which gave Cynder a moment of pause. Did they not hear her or something? Maybe she needed to try calling out again. Before she could, though, her and Clover's attention made a sudden shift as the sound of footsteps became audible. Rather unexpectedly, they already had a brand new arrival, and it just so happened to be another trainer. They looked to be a young boy with green hair - hey, like Clover! - with a small blue friend in tow, who was apparently quite upset with them. Apparently, that Taillow was his to defeat.
Clover gave the kid an apologetic shrug, still a bit out of the loop as to what exactly was going on with the Taillow and everything. "Sorry, kid, that Taillow was threatenin' me, so I figured I needed to defend myself. Couldn't be helped, really."
She looked over for a moment at the Taillow in question. That thing really seemed like a bit of a nutcase in her eyes. Sure, without Cynder helping with the language barrier, a lack of understanding was to be expected, but that was hardly an excuse for how it'd been acting.
"Do you have any idea what that bugger's problem was? 'Cause I'm afraid I'm a bit out of the loop here."

Face strewn in annoyance, Nikko's arms crossed as if he's pouting at the situation. He was supposed to be the hero here! It's been days of following that Taillow and learning it's favorite hang outs in the woods. All of that time having gone to a waste now. Pouting like a brat, he leans with his weight all onto one foot and then to the other as he stares down this lady. Dirt coating his arms as he keeps them crossed and taking in the image of the fainted Taillow and the tree nearby. What was he supposed to do now? The small blue pokemon following behind him, almost adoringly happy as she bumps into his leg.
Winnie gives a glance to the trainer ahead and the fire type. A cheerful demeanor as the wooper smiles, words seeming to tumble out of her mouth towards the fire type. <"Hello! Looks like we're late."> Tilting her head ever so slightly, there's the typical smile she always carries. A joyful tone as she turns back to Nikko and to the other trainer with green hair. A soft little giggle before Nikko seems to catch the words finally, still having a bit of a kid whining about the situation.
"But! But! But! I wanted to knock that Taillow out! He's a bully! This is so unfair!" Stomping his bare foot to the ground, he looks towards the Taillow and back towards the trainer. It's lucky that the stranger didn't get harmed, but he doesn't care about this lady. It's the next words that catch him off guard. Rolling his eyes, huffing a bit for a moment. He responds with annoyance as if he couldn't be bothered to answer the lady's questions. "You knocked it out without even figuring out what's going on? UGH! That Taillow was bullying other pokemon to giving it berries and food!" Stepping forward, he glares at the Taillow and Clover.
"I was going to save the day! It's been beating up other pokemon around the forest for days! Now what am I going to do?" His eyes glance towards Winnie and then back to the fire type. Finally, landing back on Clover, he glares with annoyance, but there's an idea. He doesn't have to be a hero, but he could have some fun. Answering some questions was fine, he'd really not seen another person in awhile. "I wanted to be the hero! Ugh, you ruined that. What am I going to do now?"

At least Clover now had a little context as to what was up with that Taillow, including its relation to the young kid in front of him. Apparently, she was doing the denizens of the forest a favor by knocking that annoying bird down a peg or two. That was nice, she supposed, but the way this kid was talking about how she "stole" his chance to be a hero felt a bit uncalled for. It wasn't like he was the only one that was allowed to put that thing in its place.
"Honestly, kid, I'm sorry," Clover apologized again. "I just sort of showed up here, and...y'know. Bad timing and all that. If you really want to be a hero so badly, I bet there's plenty to do around here. What exactly, I'm, uh...not sure."
Really, it was starting to seem like the kid wanted something to do, but offering something to him sounded like a tall order. His Wooper would probably devastate her Fire and Rock-type Pokemon, so battling seemed like it'd be disadvantageous for her. Then again, what else was there to do? The kid was getting awfully pouty, and there was only so much she could use to preoccupy him.
"I remember someone was hiding from the Taillow up on that big tree," Cynder mentioned to the kid's companion. "Do you think they're still there? Do you have any way we could check?"

Annoyance burns in his presence; almost as if his body can't help letting the feeling spread throughout him. Nikko's arms cross tighter as his face goes ever redder in the face; dirt being the only indicator of the changes in color. His eyes seem to travel up and down the tree for a moment. He wanted to be a hero. He wanted the glory. A quest of his own given by the other pokemon in the forest. A huff as he listens to the lady in front of him. Bad timing. That's what everyone always told him. Too little too late. Sighing, he can't wrap his head around it. All he can do is whine. "This is so unfair!" Stomping his foot against the ground, Winnie seemingly jumping in time with the stomp; as if she couldn't help but to be playful.
Winnie, on the other hand, seemed to keep that cheerful demeanor. Almost playfully smiling as she jumps in time with the stomp. Her tail slapping the ground excitedly as she looks to the fire type. Nikko seemed upset, but she knew she had to just wait for him to come up with a new idea or a new game. She loved the games they played. It's only as she's hearing the strange fire type pokemon she's never seen that her cheerful demeanor grows. Her eyes seeming to be unmoving, despite the reference towards the tree and another pokemon up there. <"Hiding? Like a game!"> She giggles excitedly at the prospect. <"Still there? Still there! I can check?"> Waddling over, she goes to the base of the tree. Little feet trying to jump up, only she's too short. Unable to quite reach any sort of branch, but it doesn't stop her from trying. It's almost a bit adorable the way she jumps up still trying, but Winnie continues to fail.
Nikko seems to snap his attention to Winnie and then back to the lady and her pokemon. His eyes seeming to put two and two together. A realization sets in before he stops pouting. There's a flash of an idea almost as if a lightbulb popped into existence. His voice takes a more whiny approach as he speaks. "There's lots to do here! But, I spent days tailing this Taillow! I wanted to be the hero!" Almost like a child who's got a mischievous idea in mind, her almost looks with a smile of amusement. "If I beat you, I could become the hero! Or perhaps the villain! That could be fun! What do you say? I could be the villain and you could play the hero! Please please please please please pleaaaaaasssssseeeeee!" Nikko wasn't passed begging. Putting on his best puppy do eyes, despite being covered in dirt and looking like he hasn't taken a bath in a week, he would try.

There really was no way around the situation, was there? The kid seemed dead-set on proving how "heroic" he could be, even after having the perfect opportunity snatched away from him, and wasn't afraid to give Clover grief about that fact. Thus, when he suddenly threw out the idea that they could battle in a classic case of good versus evil...well, persuading him otherwise was starting to seem like more trouble than it was worth.
Battling against another trainer sounded like a fine enough use of her time, but the one thing that Clover was still bothered by was the fact that the kid had a Wooper of all Pokemon. She didn't have any Pokemon that'd be good against the kid's little blue buddy, which kind of sucked for her. But the kid was insistent, and even had the audacity to look at her with puppy-dog eyes, so...
"Sure," Clover agreed. "Lemme just switch out real quick."
As well as Cynder and the Wooper seemed to get along, the Charmander didn't seem like Clover's best bet. Instead, she'd be relying on Retro. He'd still be at a disadvantage, sure, but he hit hard enough with his moves that there could've still been a decent chance of victory. After recalling Cynder and throwing out Retro, she gave the Roggenrola a second to get acquainted with his surroundings.
It didn't take long for him to let out a humph, though, especially with that Wooper in his field of vision. "Of all the different Pokemon to bring me out to fight, did it really have to be a Wooper?"

Yes! He was going to get what he wants. Nikko almost mentally cheers as he starts to almost get giddy. Feet bouncing excitedly up and down as he looks to the strange girl. She was going to portray the hero and he was going to be the cool villain that everyone loved. Dirt smeared hands pulling back his hair as he looks to Wooper, gesturing for the water type to come closer to him. Whispering almost to Winnie as if the other trainer couldn't hear him. "Follow my lead, Winnie! We're gonna be the coolest villains ever!" Jumping backwards, there's a small smile on his face as he looks to the other trainer, hearing her wanting to switch pokemon out. Good. He wanted to see something new, something cooler. It didn't matter that Taillow had been defeated. Now he could be a villain and have the best day ever!
"Mwah ha ha ha! I am uh.... the monstrous mysterious man! You will be crushed in defeat! Face my wrath hero!" Giggling to himself, he looks to the other trainer who's called out pokemon that looked like that cool rock he picked up two days ago. A wide grin filling his face. It's almost like the times Winnie and him would play games in the forest. Nikko can only look forward as he watches the rock type pokemon start to speak in some way. His eyes widen in surprise, but he looks to Winnie.
Winnie, for the most part, was ready to play a game with Nikko. He's always got the most fun games ever. Only as the other pokemon comes out, she can hear the rock type mutter out a complaint. Tsking slightly, she speaks out comfortably. <"Hi! It's actually Winnie!"> A smile staying on Winnie's face, she greets the other pokemon who will be her rival for this game. There's a pause for a moment as Nikko watches before he yells out excitedly. "It is impossible to stop me hero! Wicked Winnie! Use Mud Shot and Tail Whip!" Winnie shrugs to the other pokemon before jumping forward, kicking up some of the dirt turning it into mud. Quickly, she moves around to smack her tail against the other pokemon. "Mwah ha ha ha!"

Okay, so apparently, Clover wouldn't be the villain in their little good versus evil act. An interesting decision on his part, especially given the fact that she was a career criminal, but she didn't exactly feel the need to persuade him to switch roles. He was just trying to be the Bowser to her Mario, so to speak, and that was fine enough for her. For Retro, though, it wasn't anything to get excited about. It was just a fake piece of conflict to justify the child's insistent need to do something with his time. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't need to be dealing with an opponent he was weak to. He made sure to duck under the first attack, though. Silly as it may have seemed, being splashed with mud was no laughing matter. " Okay," Retro mumbled, cursing under his breath. " Let's get this over with." Quickly, he dashed forward, hoping to collide with Winnie before she could make another leap. Tail Whip hit, but Mud Shot missed!
