Alexis took cautious steps over the dead foliage of the forest floor. Spots of light danced along the ground as the leaves above her head shifted with the wind. She was creeping up on what appeared to be a small mound of dirt rising over the dead leaves. She heard a rustling from behind her from her companion and began to turn to try and silence her when the pile of dirt exploded upward and a small yellow Sandshrew burst out of the dirt. Alexis grabbed a pokeball from her belt, but the Sandshrew was faster on the draw! It worked its hind legs rapidly in the fresh dirt, spraying it in Alexis' face.
"Aah!" She screamed and stumbled back, her hands held up to her face to shield her from the spray of dirt. She lowered her hands to see the creature fleeing into the woods, already well out of reach.
Frustrated, she turned around and confronted her companion, hands on her hips and an angry expression on her face. "You see what you did? Damn it! I can't take you anywhere."
