You must have a starter and partner Pokemon made!

Litten
Fire Cat Pokemon
Fire type

If you try too hard to get close to it, it won’t open up to you. Even if you do grow close, giving it too much affection is still a no-no.

It looks like this one's trying their very best to swallow their pride to ask for something. What do they need help with? Give me a short, written description of the problem they appear to have! No art this time, I'm afraid. No word limit per se, but try to keep it brief.

This one'll end January 20th, noon MST!

Tobias has a rather large problem actually, and it is the fact that he seems to have developed a severe infection in a wound he sustained after a battle went south. He tried to cover it with a large blue bow, but the pain became too great causing him to begrudgingly trudge off to find the leader of the team, and resident healer for the time being. It would be a while before they could make it to a center, and he was in need of help urgently. He traveled through the forest near the team's base until he got to the sparing area, a natural meadow surrounded by trees where the team leaders were training. He sat and waited for the battle to end. Unsurprisingly it ended soon after his arrival with Syca remaining undefeated. Cheerio picked himself up and brushed off the dirt with a quick shake, when he noticed the black fire cat. When Tobias caught his eye contact he simply turned his muzzle up and stayed put. Cheerio just rolled his eyes, this was typical Tobias behavior. He trotted over to the seated Pokemon,

"Tobias, what a surprise," the fennekin smiled warmly, "Did you need something?"

Tobias stayed in his snobbish position for a few more moments as the tension grew. He swallowed hard and looked the leader in the eyes before saying,

"I... I could really.... could really...use some...some assistance," he stuttered in an uncharacteristic manner.

This stuttering nature caught the Fennekin's attention, "What's the matter Tobias?" he said again in a softer tone trying to ease the worried cat's fears. Tobias did not answer, only moved to his bow and swiftly moved it aside revealing the gash. The Fennekin widened his eyes at the infected wound, before calmly looking back to the fiery feline's stressed eyes.

"Well let's go get that cleaned up, and we will set out for a center first thing in the morning," and with that Syca, Tobias, and Cheerio made their way back to the base to care for the neglecting wound on the neck of the (possible) newest member of their team.

Aaron wants to ask to join the Team, but just doesn't have the courage to do it! He only wants to join because of Sakura, though. But isn't that why everyone wants to join? They all like Sakura's long, pink fur.

Upon meeting the prideful Litten, Leora couldn't help but shake her head in disdain. She had met this kind of pokemon before. Aloof, yes, but also unsure and definitely in need of her and Coralyn's help. She turned her head over to her friend and whispered to her, "Do you want to handle this one, or should I?" Coralyn giggled a little, her laugh ringing like a little bell.
"You took the last one. It's my turn!" Coralyn then hopped over to the Litten, jingling with every step. He looked at her with a mix of confusion and scorn. Coralyn whispered just loud enough for the Litten and Leora to hear, "We can do this the easy way, or the hard way buddy. You obviously need our help with something, and unless you want everyone within a 30-kilometer radius to know, I'd recommend that you'd tell us what you need now." A sly smirk spread across her face as the Litten's tail drooped in defeat. He looked from side to side before dropping his head low and whispering, "Fine, you win. My name is Toulouse, and I might or might not have lost something that is very important to me."
"What did you lose?" Leora whispered, sliding into the conversation.
"M...My pokedoll."
"A pokedoll?" Leora struggled to keep her voice low. "Fine. We'll find it. Where did you last see it?"
"Well, here's the thing..." Toulouse muttered, constantly searching for someone who could possibly overhear. "I was carrying it with me when that shady looking Heracross over there stopped me and asked me why I had such a 'cutesy thing'. I was so flustered that I told him that I was trying to find its owner." Tears welled up in the small cat's eyes. "He said that he would take over the search and took my dear Flops. I was so shocked, I just walked away."
Leora looked at Coralyn, who had tears in her eyes. Coralyn then said to Toulouse, "We'll do whatever we can to get that pokedoll back!" As she and Toulouse whispered together on strategies to skilfully get the stuffed toy back, Leora walked up to the heracross.
"Excuse me, but I believe you are holding my little sister's favorite toy." She said, calling to the pokemon.
"Oh! Yes, I was looking for its owner!" He said after handing it over. "I'm glad it found it's way back into the right arms!"
"Thank you, sir!" Leora yelled over her shoulder as she walked away, the pokedoll slung over her back. When Toulouse saw his beloved 'Flops' his face filled with joy.
"Thank you so much!"
sorry, I didn't intend for it to be so long...

"Excuse me, miss, do you need help?"
The Litten was staring into the gorge. It was obvious she needed to cross, and with the bridge out of order, there was very little land-dwelling Pokemon could do. The gorge was filled with thorny briars, and one mistake could send an unlucky Pokemon down.
"Absolutely not, thank you very much." the Litten replied snottily.
"Are you sure? 3 of our 4 members can fly. We could carry you." Bishop asked again.
"I can make that jump. Now, will you go bother someone else?" she replied rudely.
"Okay, fine. You could have said so nicely..."
A few minutes later, Fig heard yowling coming from the gorge. "I think our Litten friend got herself stuck. Guess she couldn't make the jump after all."
"Well, what are we waiting for? We've got to go help." Abigail said, turning around.
"Wait a minute. Are you sure? She got into that situation because she refused our help." Bishop pointed out. "Won't she refuse our help again?"
"I don't know, but we've got to go see."
They ran back to the gorge. Sure enough, the Litten who was looking into it before was not at the bottom of it, tangled in the thorns.
"Hey, do you need help now?" Bishop yelled down.
"No, I can get out."
She struggled to get free for a few minutes, scraping herself up even more. A while later, Bishop asked again.
"You need help now?"
The Litten sighed. "Fine, I guess."
Abigail, Bishop, and Fig flew down and landed on a part of the briar not covered in thorns. "Alright. I'd say Fig is the strongest flier here. Bishop said. "Now, we need to get this Litten untangled."
"I have a name, you know. It's Constance." She remarked.
"Alright, we need to get Constance out of these thorns. Let's get her as untangled as we can. Then, Fig will try to lift her as high as he can, while Abigail and I free the last thorns. Then, we'll join Fig and get you to safety."
"Alright. Sounds like a plan." Constance said. "Just make it quick, okay. I've got places to be."
"No promises."
Fig zipped through the thorns, untangling what needed to be untangled. Abigail took some thorns into he beak. Bishop pecked at some briar.
"Alright. I think we're good to go. Fig?"
"Got it." he said, grabbing Constance with his arms. "Now, Constance, you need to stay still, okay?"
Constance nodded. And, with that, Fig took flight.
Bishop and Abigail untangled some briar that was around Constance's paws.
"Will you hurry up? I can't hold her for much longer."
"Abigail, the last paw is up to you." Bishop flew up to help hold Constance.
Time passed. Abigail was still freeing Constance's last paw.
"Are you almost done? This is getting tiresome."
"Yeah. Give me a second." And, just like that, Constance was free. Abigail joined Bishop and Fig as they flew Constance to the top of the gorge, where Daisy was waiting for them.
"Well, I guess I should thank you." Constance said, starting to lick some of her scrapes. "But, I must ask. Why did you come back to save me when I specifically told you I didn't need help?"
"I guess it's just what we do." Fig said.
"Well, okay." she said. "That's enough adventuring for one day. I guess I'll have to get that Zubat's berry tomorrow."
"Wait, you're part of an exploration team?" Abigail asked.
"Correction. I am an exploration team. It's just me."
"Well, maybe you could join us." Abigail suggested. "You can't always rely on yourself."
"Yeah. No kidding. I learned that the hard way."
"Well, what do you say? Will you join us?"
"I guess I've got nothing better to do."
