"Alright," Sherry exclaimed as she entered Petalburg Woods from the north. "Now, Mac, I know we can get down by following this path here," she said as she pointed down south to a bunch of ledges, "but I want to take a look around first. If that Hiker's intel is on the money, any place there's high grass there should be a chance to find a wild pokemon. I don't see any wandering around just now."
The little fighting-type growled and nodded, appreciating the opportunity to find a new challenger. Sherry wanted to get to Dewford Town and get her errand over with, but she needed to prioritize her chances of success first. In order to get somewhere or defeat stronger trainers, she needed to build up a good team of fighters. The DSO and BSAA did not operate alone, and neither should she. She glanced about through the large trees at either sides of the paths before her, searching for something out of place.
The woods were different-looking this time around, but perhaps that was because Sherry wasn't running away from a horde of Wurmple. She figured it was just her looking back at the path she had trodden down upon, and how strange it was for her to backtrack. The sound of rustling leaves in the distance caught the agent's attention. As careful as can be, Sherry crept forward into the tall grass with Mac following close behind. With her acute senses, she hoped she could find a new pokemon to add to her team before she used up her budget of time for this area.
After all, Chui probably wouldn't be in Dewford Town for long.

As the agent scurried alongside the brushes and grass to look for wild Pokemon, a brave-looking swallow Pokemon descended from above, her beaks snapping.
Wild Taillow appeared!
Taillow - Lv: 4

"I- I'm sorry!" Chung covered his eyes and blushed as Yuuka staggered back in surprise, clutching her head as if she had nausea. What was this boy doing here?
Then she remembered. Yesterday, she met Chung at the nighttime bazaar, and invited him to spend the night in the Wilton family house. Then, Reggie brought out the ale, Chung got drunk, and blacked out.
"Uh, it's fine..." Yuuka fidgeted as she quickly grabbed the towel sitting on a dresser and covered herself. "If you'll excuse me, GET OUT!"

"Look out!"
Sherry ducked out of the way of the screeching Taillow and rolled back to her feet. She covered her head and looked for the bird, and when she did, she got an idea. When pokemon appeared and fought or harassed others, it typically meant that they were looking for a fight. If this was the case, then Sherry had just found a viable new partner. She looked to Mac and shouted.
"Time to move! Mac, see if you can swat it from the air!"
In hindsight, swatting a bird down from the sky was easier said than done. Mac jumped to his feet and leaped into the air a couple times near Sherry, focused on batting away the Taillow as it dived them like the spastic little sparrow it was.

"Ah ok, thanks...well...Hmm...you know I think I'll just have the Khao nuea op, please." Lyrica began to fold the menu while a thought crossed her mind. "Something spicy...hm Pokémon have elements and so I wonder if there would be a correlation...?"

Poor thing, Taillow. She was brave, but her defense couldn't keep up with Machop's menacing knife chop. The strike landed on Taillow's right wing, crippling her. She fell to the ground, landing with a thud on a soft grassy bed. She got up and tried to take off again but she could not. The tiny bone in her right wing was broken.
"G- gyaaaa-!" The Taillow gasped and panicked, fluttering her other good wing. A small gash on her right wing started spilling small drops of blood.

"Khao Nuea Op, then." The waiter nodded. "Would you like it spicy, regular, or mild?"

"Spicy, please." Lyrica politely smiled. "Oh and could I get a glass a milk with that, too, please?"

(Sorry, I had a brain lapse and didn't see this yesterday)
Mac let out a whoop of joy at scoring a hit, and so did Sherry. The agent was getting the hang of it again, and now all she had to do was capture the little bird pokemon. She reached for a pokeball on her belt before hesitating. Try as she might, she could not bring herself to just throw a ball at a downed bird, even if it did come at them both. The sight of blood against the blue wing brought an empathetic expression with it.
Sherry remembered Claire bringing in a kitten once. How she adored that little bundle of fur. It pounced her fingers, nuzzled her arm, and cuddled with her face when the girl hugged it. She looked down at the little bird before her and felt terrible at having ordered it knocked down from the sky. It was no kitten, no, but Sherry felt for it. No animal deserved to be hurt by the actions of a human. She sent a sympathetic look towards her Machop and dropped down near the Taillow.
Fumbling through her pack, Sherry pulled out another spray-bottle potion solution and approached the bird with it.
"S-sorry, little bird," she whined. She held up the potion solution and sprayed it against the bird's wing when she could get the chance, no longer concerned with capturing it just yet. "I didn't mean... We didn't mean to hurt you that badly..."
The agent's words were genuine. After looking at the Machop and other pokemon like it, Sherry figured that pokemon were very hardy creatures that could take blows normal humans could not. She, unfortunately, was wrong.

Sherry frowned as the Taillow winced and shielded itself away from her. Here she was trying to help, but the little bird was either too untrusting or bothered by the potion. This did not sit right with the agent, who shook her head and pouted. She also didn't know what else to do with the bird, so she took the opportunity to examine it closely with the use of her new Pokedex. She flipped open the device and pointed it at the Taillow.
"Taillow, the Tiny Swallow Pokemon," the Pokedex chirped. "Taillow courageously stands its ground against foes, however strong they may be. This gutsy Pokémon will remain defiant even after a loss. On the other hand, it cries loudly if it becomes hungry."
"Oh... I see, it's in your nature," Sherry said. Seeing the little bird turn away reminded the agent of Claire and how she never backed down, even when beaten. "You're very brave! I could use someone like you on my team... Oh, but, your wing..." Sherry raised the potion solution again before hesitating. She tucked it away and produced a plump Oran Berry from her pouch before placing it between her and the Taillow. "Here... Would you like a berry? It's okay, I won't hurt you anymore."
