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!

This right here? Not a good idea, uh maybe.” Manish said while carefully walking around another geyser. He wasn’t even sure what he was doing here, really he was just looking for some new people to talk to and found himself in what he could only assume was a volcano that would definitely explode while he was on it. He’s seen movies, he knows how these things work. Even Ryan, who was usually pretty gung-ho about these things, was looking a little worse for wear. His bulb was wilting in the heat and he never wanted to stand in one spot for too long in fear of getting burned. <Relax will ya? It’ll be fine. Look, even Dwayne is having a good time.> He raised one leg up towards Manish’s head. Dwayne was, in fact, not having a good time. She was still pretending her companions did not exist with very little success. Manish ran a hand up his head and gave a pat to the worm before picking another mushroom out of his hair. He was fairly certain that there weren’t supposed to be mushrooms in his hair, but he hadn’t really had anyone to ask about it. Maybe he could send a message to Yggy, or that very nice lady he met at the beach, one of them might know. He glanced at his bare toes and the little mushrooms that tended to grow around his feet. They all seemed alright so far in the heat, but he really would prefer to leave as soon as possible. “I guess so. I just think maybe we won’t see other people here. It’s kinda, you know, hot and awful?” He said while gesturing at everything around him. “You know, this one time Mother had a job that took place in a crater like this. Well, no, not like this. It wasn’t as, you know, hot I guess. But still, it was sort of a crater. Maybe more like a cradle? Anyway, I was just a little kid when she did it so I don’t really remember much about it.”

And like, there was this pit of acid, and not just normal acid, like, bad acid…” Manish’s recounting of his mother’s entire adventure was interrupted by a sudden hiss of what looked like a black and red kitten jumping out at him. Manish gave out what was definitely a manly shriek and took several steps back. “Another cat? Seriously? How many cat designs did they make?” Ryan jumped ahead, already ready to throw down. <Let’s fight! Right, Manish? Right? We’re fighting it?> He really needed to write a strongly worded letter about the number of cats in this game. It was, quite frankly, too many. Who even liked cats? They were mean and always tried to scratch him in real life; apparently the in-game cats also hated him. <Manish?> Ryan called, seeing his trainer in what looked like deep contemplation. He could tell by the number of mushrooms sprouting around his feet; there were always more when Manish was trying to use his brain. “Huh? Oh uh, yeah, sure. I guess. Um, Tackle it? That’s one of your er, uh, moves, right?” Manish snapped back to what was happening. He would have to compose his letter later. Ryan was so proud, Manish was actually learning. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? <Oh yeah, I’ll Tackle it alright.> And with that, Ryan threw his body at the Litten with little regard for his own safety. Ryan uses TACKLE on the attacking LITTEN

Oh yeah, he was definitely feeling stronger already. He had his doubts at first, but maybe Manish would turn out to be a decent trainer after all. Seeing Ryan handle things way better than the last time pumped Manish up. He did a jump and raised a fist into the air, “Heck yeah! Show that dirty cat who’s boss! Do a, uh. Um, no, don’t help me, I’ll remember. Razor Leaf? Yes. That. Razor Leaf it!” <Gladly.> Ryan replied, jumping back before shooting leaves out of his bulb at the offending Litten.

Apparently fire was better than leaves. Who would have thought? Manish wracked his brain. Most of Ryan’s moves were rather leaf based. Maybe they should go back to the tried and true. “Do another Tackle! I don’t think anything else will really work without, you know, catching on fire?” Ryan took another attempted Scratch from the Litten, but it was no match for his thick (and still slightly slimy) skin. He didn’t even feel it at all! <Got it! Less Grass moves, more throwing my body into it!> Ryan ran around the Litten, putting some distance between them before running as quickly as his little legs would carry at the cat. Ryan uses TACKLE on LITTEN

The Litten took the hit and was looking haggard. Very haggard. But once again, his hubris was threatening to be his downfall. The Litten picked itself up, gave a hiss, and then shot a stream of fire out of its mouth with Ember. Ryan gave a cry as the fire licked his body, singeing the delicate bulb on his back. Manish slapped his hands to his mouth. No no no, he was not okay with this cat setting his beloved toad on fire. That wasn’t fair! Screw the ethics of fighting what were essentially sentient pets, Manish wanted that cat knocked out for what it did to his Ryan. “Are you okay? Did it hurt you too badly? We can leave, like, I’d rather we didn’t, but we totally can!” Manish called to Ryan as the last few smolders on his back went out. <Nah, let’s show this cat what happens when they mess with us!> “Tackle?” <Tackle.> With that, Ryan once again charged the Litten. Ryan uses TACKLE on LITTEN

Manish and Ryan both let out a whoop of cheer and started dancing around. <Did you see that? Did you see me destroy Litten?> “Oh man, you were like, blam and it was like, wa-bow, and you were like, kablam! That was so cool!” Manish scooped Ryan up in his arms and tossed the toad into the air. Not very high, mind, Ryan was packing on the pounds and Manish was rather weak. But still he tried. Even Dwayne opened her eyes long enough to give a nod of approvement towards Ryan. Once they had calmed down slightly, Manish walked over to the knocked out Litten and started to hesitantly poke it with a finger. “So, uh, what do we do with it now?” <We catch it! Or, well, I guess you catch it. But still!> Manish nodded along to Ryan’s advice. “Okay, sure, but like, I don’t want it? I already have you. And Dwayne. And, uh, technically that awful penguin, that was given to me.” <You can always trade it. Or give it to that professor lady. Wasn’t she looking for some Pokemon? Maybe this is one she doesn’t have.> “Oh yeah! Uh, okay, sure I can do this.” Manish fumbled through his inventory for a little while before he grabbed onto a pokeball. He raised it into the air in triumph before it dramatically slipped from his grasp. He fumbled, tried to grab it, but ultimately failed. The ball dropped to the ground and steadily rolled into Litten before gently tapping the cat. In a flash of light, Litten was sucked into the ball. Manish and Ryan held their breath and stared intently while the ball shook. Once, twice, three times, before stopping. <You got it!> Ryan cheered. Manish picked up the ball and placed it in his bag. Time to go figure out what he was going to do with a flaming cat.
