Henrietta turned toward the direction of Eunmi's cry. She was being attacked by something, or so it came off that way. Henrietta watched the scene, paying closer attention to the fluffy bit than to Eunmi for the sake of not paying attention to the shirtless girl.
Until she got her shirt on, that is. Then Henrietta said, "d-do you need some h-help?"

Eunmi had already retrieved her Pokedex, and in moments determined the identity of the fluff. A Cottonee, although the Pokedex stated it was not native to the area they were in. Eunmi, suddenly determined - most likely provoked by having a string of annoying events - held out her hand.
"Gimme that Poke ball back," she said. "I'm going to catch it.
"Dali, it's a grass-type, switch to Fury Cutter."
The Oshawott did as told, motivated by her sudden serious demeanor, and lashed out at the Cottonee. The fluff ball bounced out of the way again, and then overhead, but Dali managed to strike upwards and catch it in the air. It cried out as it tumbled into the dirt.

Henrietta nodded, retrieved the ball and handed it over to Eunmi. She then took a step back and watched quietly.

The cottonee puffed up as Dali slashed at it again. As he did so, some of the cotton shot off the Cottonee's body, covering Dali in it - his speed was lowered, but he kept on attacking. However, because his speed was reduced, the Cottonee continued to jump out of range.
"D-Vee, switch in, and slow it down," Eunmi said, knowing her aim wasn't good enough to get it if it kept hopping around.
"Smeaaar," D-Vee yawned.
"Please, D-Vee? C'mon," Eunmi pleaded.
[I demand ice cream the moment we get to Nacrene,] he said, slowly rising to his feet.
"...sure," Eunmi nodded, but could only guess at what the Pokemon said.
[Hey, you,] D-Vee said, pointing at the Cottonee. [We can do this the easy way or the hard way. Either you let her catch you and let me get my ice cream, or I have to dish out some fire moves.]
[No!] The cottonee said playfully, jumping over the Smeargle's head. D-Vee frowned, and glanced at Eunmi.
"Oh, right, umm," Eunmi flicked through the Pokedex. "...Ember? Do you know that one?"
[Sigh...] D-Vee painted a jagged looking circle with a flame around it and from the paint rose a burning coal. D-Vee put his paw around it, where the ember floated an inch or so from it, and then tossed it at the Cottonee. The Cotton pokemon jumped out of the way. D-Vee looked at Eunmi again.
"Oh, you could try harder too," she grumbled. "Quick Attack then."
D-Vee lunged at the Cottonee, who hopped out of the way only to be tackled down to the ground by D-Vee's actual speed boosted Quick Attack.
"Stun... Spore?" Eunmi suggested as D-Vee flicked his tail onto the Cottonee's forehead, and a blast of spores went into its face. The cottonee shuddered, caught in paralysis by one of its own signature moves.
"Smear?" D-Vee asked, waiting for another instruction.
"That should be good, right?" Eunmi asked, waiting a moment, and then tossing the poke ball at the Cottonee. It bounced off the Pokemon's forehead, opened, and then absorbed the Pokemon inside.
It rolled.. once.
Twice.
And then a clicking noise was heard.

"You did it!" Henrietta said. She watched as the pokeball went still, indicating the capture was a success. Which meant that Cottonee now belonged to Eunmi. "C-congratulations!"

"I-I caught it?" Eunmi asked. Her Pokedex beeped, a new window appearing in a prompt to nickname the newly captured Pokemon.
"Oh, er," Eunmi knelt down and picked up the Poke ball while staring at the screen.
"It says it's a boy," Eunmi said. "What should I name it?"

Henrietta looked down at the pokedex and tilted her head to one side. A name? "H-hum... Fluffy."

"That's not intimidating at all!" Eunmi said. "Something like... Fang or Luther or.."
Eunmi waved her hand in the air, still holding the Pokedex.
"Something dangerous. Or, any famous artists that remind you of a cotton ball."
Eunmi, unfortunately, could think of none.

Intimidating? Henrietta considered what kind of name would be intimidating. For a fluff ball. A ball, you see, of cottony fluffy adorableness.
This thing wouldn't intimidate anyone ever.
Now, famous artists? Henrietta could name one.
"M-mondrian?"

"Hmm," Eunmi paused and then entered the name into the Pokedex.
"Mondrian," Eunmi replied. "Sounds good. Alright, now that that crisis is averted, we should go."

"Hey!" came a voice from behind as everything was settled and Henrietta spun around to see a man approaching. He was covered in wounds and blood, his black hair a mess. All he wore was a skintight suit of black pants, like the outfit of a plasma grunt, but he didn't seem to resemble one.
With her was a Krookodile, a Trubbish and a Blitzle, all also covered in wounds.
"This is the exit, right?" he asked as he stood there, all intimidating and stuff. Strong, with a sort of contained power and his Pokemon seemed to hold a similar sort of power to them. As if a bond was shared between them.
And there was, this was a bond shared only by men who had fought on the battlefield together and managed to survive. You couldn't replicate this sort of bond of survival with eight badges, a league championship and tons of pointless grooming.
Henrietta took a step backward(toward Eunmi) and nodded meekly.

"A-are you alright?" Eunmi said, still clutching her newly caught Pokemon in her hands (in the poke ball of course).

Albert looked at Eunmi and then shrugged. He was too tired to beat up some bitches, jack their Pokemon and be on with it. Instead, he mounted the Blitzle, recalled the other two and said, "this way doesn't lead to Nacrene."
And then he was off. Speeding out of the cave and away.
"Th-that was..." Henrietta turned to Eunmi. "W-we should go."

Eunmi seemed less fazed by the ordeal than Henrietta. Maybe because Eunmi paid less attention to things, or something like that.
"Guess he's alright then," Eunmi shrugged. Then she smiled and looked back at the Poke Ball.
"C'mon, I wanna get to Nacrene before it gets too dark."
