Big Bee When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the <ATTACK> button to weaken it! You may reply as many times in a row as it takes to knock out the Wild PKMN. But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 0, the player who struck the final blow may choose to capture it. Please post in Spawning & Catching to complete your capture and close the thread!

"The light off the waves is amazing!" he said, shading his eyes as Squirtle ran on all fours along the edge of the beach. He watched with wonder as the starter threw itself into the waters, disappearing into the wash and foam and emerging a second later out past the breakwater. Big Bee had starter counting how many unique animations his starter had, but lost count after Squirtle dug up shell, gnawed on it, and handed it to him. The sand underfoot was pristine, free of macro and micro plastics. Big Bee picked up a double handful of the fine grit, letting the perfect grains drain through his hands until he was left with a cluster of procedurally generated shells.

"Buried treasure? A lost sandal?" Big Bee pulled upwards, and there was a pained bark from beneath the sands. He let go, falling backwards onto the beach. "What was that?" he asked himself and Squirtle, looking down into the little hole he'd dug. Whatever it was was pink and round. It looked almost like a clown nose. He narrowed his eyes, waiting for it to make the noise again. The ball expanded, shuddering as it drew it air until it sneezed, sending up a little puff of fine sand. "It's...a Pokemon? Squirtle, come check this out." Big Bee said loudly, and Squirtle came running out of the surf, leaving a trail of sharp footprints up the fore shore. "What's this?" he asked the Pokemon. Squirtle looked between Big Bee and the little pink ball. He cocked his head to one side. Then the other. Then, he opened his mouth and shot a stream of brine at the ball. The salty spray went right up the poor Pokemon's nose, and it wriggled up out of the ground, yelping and coughing and spraying the ground with its wet sneezes. <Hey!> It cried, between sneezes. <What did I ever do to you?> The Popplio slapped at its nose with its flippers, whiskers wriggling in distress as it tried to clear its backwashed sinuses. Big Bee's jaw dropped. "You can talk? I, uh, didn't know they added that feature." <Well how about this feature?> It asked, as it bit Squirtle.

Big Bee • Bandana Guy Round 2 Posts: 651 Trainer Class: Player Name: Bryan Nautilus OOC Username: Ladybug Arena Points: 49	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Big Bee on Dec 21, 2021 23:37:14 GMT 9 The wet seal bit down on Taka's rubbery hide, nibbling and gnawing as it tried to inflict retribution for the nasal power wash. Squirtle let the harrying continue for a second before, with deliberate care and malice of forethought, he opened his jaws as wide as they would go, and bit Popplio back. In a biological sense, the mouth, teeth, and jaws of a creature are quite informative. You can tell what kind of food a creature eats, how it hunts that food, and whether it uses its mouth to take down that prey or just to chew on what's left after the fight. Looking at Popplio, one would see a pointed head (for hydrodynamism), long whiskers (for detecting prey under the sand), and a big clown nose (because its offensive bite is an absolute joke). Squirtle, on the other hand, has a jaw composed of two massive bear-trap like hinges, which power a pair of triangular, overlapping jaws, that are built to pierce and shear anything caught between them. Flesh, shells, rock, Popplios, they were all as resilient as wet jelly under the immense bite-force of this ferocious turtle.

Squirtle chuckled, a wet, ugly sound deep in his throat. The caught seal pulled and heaved until, with dubious mercy, Squirtle released its jaws and let the poor, caught Pokemon tumble forward across the sand. Big Bee cringed as the blue seal fell still. "Was that really necessary?" he asked Squirtle. <Nope. And neither was this.> Taka replied, blasting the unconscious Popplio with a jet of water that sent it flopping limply another few feet towards the water.

Big Bee exclaimed, looking down at Taka as the turtle wiped a smear of blood off his jaws. <Why wouldn't I talk? You sayin' I'm dumber than that fuggin Popsicle?> "What? No, just, I didn't even know you could talk. You haven't said anything before! We've been together all afternoon and the first thing you say is a one-liner as you knock out the poor little seal." <I'm just cool like that. Good idea though, let's check his pockets. Bet he's got a shiny shell or two in there.> "We're not going to rob him!" Big Bee said, grabbing for his Pokeball as Squirtle advanced on the unconscious foe. He tossed the orb and the seal was sucked inside. Squirtle turned on Big Bee, eyes thin with suspicion and annoyance. <We're not keeping him.>
