Something bumped the ice underneath her. With a grin, Erika kept tapping, leading this shadow to the edge of the lake by crawling backwards. Once her foot came into contact with the ground, she slammed her fists onto the ice. The ice broke open as the pokemon burst out, startled by the sudden noise.
"Huh. What do you know. That guy who wrote that book on pokemon strategies wasn't insane after all." Erika snickered, standing up. The pokemon stopped flopping and stood, gazing at Erika, getting ready to attack. It was a Spheal.

"Hello?" Marla called softly as she heard the cracking and - was that almost a squishing? - get louder and louder. She heard it again - the squish was more of a soft crunch - and she blinked twice before a Sneasel scrambled out of a thicket, the crunching from its feet.

"Tackle!" Erika called out. Scout rushed forward and pushed the Spheal back onto the ice. It retaliated almost immediately with Rollout, which hit Scout just as hard. "You're good. Sand attack! Though, around here it's much more like snow attack."
Scout used the move and caused the Spheal to let out an adorable sneeze as it tried to catch its bearings. "Another tackle! This might be our chance!"
Scout rushed forward but the Spheal was faster, managing to jump over the Poochyena. With a yipe, he slid onto the ice and was now stranded in the middle. "Okay. Ohhhhhhkay. That's a problem. That's a huge problem." Erika's eyes widened and she held her gaze with the Spheal, who was holding its ground nicely. She tried to step forward but Spheal bared its sharp incisors, keeping her from moving. Scout was figuratively (and literally) frozen in place, horrified of making a step.

"Oh no... um... Powder Snow!" Marla commanded as Mai shot snow into the air, which didn't do much damage.

So, grabbing a pokeball (whether it be an empty one or Scout's) was certainly out of the question. She could either run out to Scout and be bitten, or talk her way out of it.
"So, Spheal. I can see you live here," Erika smiled awkwardly. The Spheal growled. "I'm sorry about intruding, but y'see I came here to prove my strength to you so you can join me and my friend back there on a journey."
The Spheal untensed. I don't know how the hell this is working but don't screw it up now. "But it seems that you've bested us both. I concede," Erika sighed, daring to bow. The Spheal now looked more confused than anything else. "Now please let me retrieve my pokemon and we'll be out of your... Fur."
Spheal blinked and allowed Erika to return Scout. "Sph-spheal?"
"We'll be going now. Au revoir!" Erika turned to walk away. Spheal flopped after her. "Ah, so you do want to join me. If you're sure." She stopped and held out an empty pokeball. The already weakened Spheal was almost instantly captured.

She carefully reached a hand out and pet the Spheal. "...Spack," She decided. Scout frowned. "What? I like weird names. Spack?"
The Spheal cried out its name in approval.

She waved at Marla as she passed her, heading straight into the town.
