Early in the morning, Ella emerged from the bushes and to the small pond before her, ears twitching for any suspicious sounds. However, the forest was quiet and still; only the distant chirping of Pidgey could be heard. She dipped her head low, lapping at the cool water and sat down. She glanced from side to side, feeling a little paranoid. She had just entered her first heat and knew that the strong scent may attract other Pokémon to her.
