"GET. BACK HERE!" The teenager screamed for probably the billionth time already as she was currently in the middle of going full speed after the source of her newfound anger this afternoon as it ran right off down the path headed straight for the nearby forest that wasn't too far off from the city.

She had no idea just what they were up to when they decided to pull this stupid stunt with her, but one thing was for sure, she was NOT having it for even a second.

[FrostWynd]

She honestly thought that maybe, just maybe, today could finally be the day that they could have simply spent some time together and have things go normally for once without any of these ridiculous and random shenanigans for once!

But it seemed like Bandit just really hated having her days be normal and uneventful. And with a name like that, what was Millie supposed to expect, really? She's already seen the obvious signs a few times already, and somehow she still managed to let this happen regardless.

It was her own fault, really.

[FrostWynd]

With a stern look of determination in Bandit's eyes, the cat was well on her way to probably getting away with her new ill-gotten object of her desires. The only thing she hadn't fully taken into account was just how persistent the girl was going to be about this red device that was being held firmly between her teeth. So it was turning out to be a lot more difficult than first anticipated for her to actually get away.

Bandit was quick, but Millie was incredibly stubborn, and that factor alone seemed to be working well enough in the girl's favor in being able to follow her this far from the city already.

How would she fare against cleverness though? Because as soon as they got to that forest that was just up ahead, Bandit fully intended to make things even more difficult for her!

[FrostWynd]

Ugh, why did this have to happen now of all times?!

No joke, when Millie got her hands on that stupid furball, she fully intended to make them regret pulling this crap on her after all she'd done to be a friend. She tried to be nice, she tried to be get along with Bandit, but no, clearly none of that mattered when all the cat wanted to do was throw it all right back in her face and steal her Pokedex! What kind of a Pokemon steals a Pokedex?!

[FrostWynd]

"THAT'S. IT!" Millie shrieked again, now losing whatever shred of patience had been leftover after all this started. Bandit wasn't going to easily get away with that thing, not when Millie still had tricks of her own to make use of.

Reaching down to grab at a sphere clipped to her belt, she hastily pressed the button and gave it a toss in front of her, where it would open up to release a flash of light that formed into a green canine.

Currently standing in place where she'd been released at, Tondra would be... rather confused as to what was happening when the world came into focus, but highly intrigued when she saw Millie run by, and swiftly followed after her.

[FrostWynd]

Why where they running down this path? Was there some sort of game going on? And what was Bandit doing with that red thing that Millie always carried around? Ooh, there were lots of questions she had right about now! Millie would be totally unconcerned with that right now, as she roughly pointed a finger right for Bandit. "Tondra! GET HER RIGHT NOW!" She commanded.

At that, Tondra's features quickly changed to delight. Yes! It was totally a game!

[FrostWynd]

In her trainer's haste, the order hadn't been super clear about how she was to "get her", so Tondra assumed that it meant they were going to be playing tag today. They were already doing the running part, so perhaps the red thing was another component for the game, and she had to take it to win? How fun!

This was going to be incredibly easy for Tondra to do, she felt, as all that was going to be needed was a little bit of electricity there, and... With a series of crackling along her body, the pup began gaining more speed than before, and started closing the gap between her and Bandit with little to no effort.

[FrostWynd]

Bandit could hear everything that was going on behind her. More screaming from the girl, the troublesome click and pop of those awful round objects that made her chest tighten, and a peculiar sound that... honestly for a moment concerned her. She needed to concentrate on where she was going though, and wouldn't dare look back to see what was gaining on her.

But then she'd let out a surprised yelp between clenched teeth, as something touched her. It was nothing more than a gentle bop against her side close to her belly, but because it happened to be accompanied with a hint of electricity, it felt so weird and awful!

[FrostWynd]

She would bounce away from the source of contact. With the spot now tingling and muscles momentarily seizing, Bandit had almost lost control of herself and would've taken a nasty spill from that, had it been a more intense charge. "Tag!" Tondra declared, coming up to be fully side by side with Bandit now. "You're it!"

Bandit's tail lashed angrily, and she flashed an intense glare Tondra's way as she turned to see who had done that. "You!" She hissed, awkwardly speaking with the device currently in her mouth. "Go away! I'm busy right now!"

[FrostWynd]

Bandit's tone was clearly hostile, as she was in no mood to deal with the rowdy pup and her stupid games right now. Can't they see that she was busy!?

Which of course, Bandit's hostility would come across as rather off-putting like usual, as the cat seemed to always be angry for some reason. But Tondra wasn't usually one to easily be deterred, especially not at a time like now when there was a game to be played on won! "But, I got you!" The pup countered, tilting her head. "You're supposed to give me that, and chase me now!"

[FrostWynd]

Tondra's logic here was so... ridiculous. Bandit immediately scoffed and turned her head slightly off to the left, to keep the shiny item away from the Electrike as far as she could, even by just a bit. "I ain't givin' you nothing. So piss off already!" Honestly! Here she was, just about to get away from Millie nearly scot-free with her new treasure, and this nasty green canine has to come along at their trainer's beck and call to ruin everything!

[FrostWynd]

A sort of surprised growl emanated from Tondra at the sudden harsh words thrown right in her face. Yikes, that was even worse than before! But why didn't Bandit want to share? If she didn't hand that thing over, how else were they supposed to play this game?

But then she finally noticed what it was that the cat actually had, when it's red surface reflected in her face from the shift in position. That was...

"Hey!" She barked in a now upset tone. That thing belonged to Millie!

[FrostWynd]

"You're not supposed to have that... that... whatchamacallit!" She should know, as even she wasn't allowed to touch it! Which had been pretty a frustrating thing for her once, as Tondra really wanted to look at it the first day they'd gotten it, but nope, Millie had refused. The Electrike hadn't understood why, or what it was meant to be for exactly. All she knew for sure was how noisy it would often be with those beeps and boops it made when being handled by their trainer, and it was obnoxiously smart too! Like, so smart, it was downright spooky with how much it knew.

[FrostWynd]

"Give it back!" Tondra demanded. "Before... she gets even more mad!" A momentary awkward glance back as she spoke would tell her that Millie was already mad enough right now, as she was currently in the middle of struggling to keep up with her Pokemon, who both had the advantage of four legs to run around on. They didn't need to make that temper of hers even worse!

But again, Bandit would refuse with a sneer. "Not happenin'! You can go back to your stupid trainer emptypawed!" And just then, she put forth a new burst of speed to put even more distance between herself and Millie as the forest was now upon them.

[FrostWynd]

Quite surprisingly, Bandit would succeed to leave the other two in the dust in that moment. Despite how fast Tondra usually was, these quick actions would catch her off guard, and the cat Pokemon would disappear right into some random bushes. "No!" Millie shouted, now losing sight of Bandit within the forest.

Coming to a stop right before it, the girl leaned down and started breathing heavily. The running had spent some of her energy, and she needed a moment to rest.
