Everything got a lot easier from that point forward.

Maybe it was just the company or the fact that they were talking pretty openly about themselves, but Vanitas felt comfortable for the first time in ages.  He was actually able to fall into a rhythm--especially with the amount of Pokemon they were going after.

Ven was...training?  Or something.  That's what he called it, anyway, and the two Pokemon they had caught were getting better at fighting.  When they first stepped onto the next route, they immediate caught something that looked like a caterpillar.  A Weedle, Ven had said it was.  It was the easiest catch they made that day.

The second catch in the forest had been a little harder.  Ven said it was a Nidoran, a female, and it had been pretty elusive.  They had to chase it around a bush about eight times before it finally came out, and when it did, Ven had tripped over Vanitas's foot and they only just managed to throw a pokeball before falling to the ground in a collected heap of limbs.
