Ash tells her about the whole "parent" "shoes" thing, but Woodblock doesn't think these human materials will help her bond with the pokemon. "I will walk on my feet, as Gaia intended" She explains to the NPC. So, Ash just hands her a package and tells Woodblock it is a sick beedrill that needs to be delivered to her associate Nurse Joy in the neighboring town. Woodblock takes her bulbasaur out of its pokeball and raises it on her head. "you are heavy, master" she thinks. She opens her map, navigating which direction she needs to go. It appears she needs to go through a nearby route. There is tall grass ahead with a foreboding presence... "I don't get what's happenin.. at least this grass looks safe"

Thinking it might be his friend Manish (who also had a Bulbasaur) he dropped the big wooden spoon he'd been using as a baseball bat and jogged after the trainer, waving energetically. "Hey! Hey, Manish, what are-" He stopped short as he realized it was a girl. "Oh, shoot, sorry! I thought you were my friend," he said sheepishly, stopping dead in his tracks. He rubbed the back of his head. "What are you doing? Is it a quest? Can I come?" "Yggy Br00ks, pick up that spoon immediately!" NPC Mom called from the front porch. "I'll get it later, Mom!" Yggy called back, then stuck his hands in his pockets. He grinned at Woodblock. "So, anyway. Can I come? I've never really hung out in this area before."

She can't tell if he's a real person or not... but she likes his free - spirited attitude. "I have this sick bee that I gotta give to the happy nurse. I know where to go, so just follow me" Woodblock doesn't quite trust the boy, but inside, she is pumped!! This is her first interaction and he should know where there's Lycanroc.. first things first, though, they've got to deliver the package to Nurse Joy. "Also, just making sure... you're a boy right?"

The question took Yggy by surprise. "A boy? I mean... yeah. You mean like, in real life?" People didn't usually ask about his real-life self, but fortunately for Yggy, there wasn't too much difference. His skin was like, way clearer in the game though. "Yeah, definitely! I'm like, the same person." Well, he had braces in real life, but there was no way he was going to tell this girl that! He snapped to, getting back to business. "Oh shoot, a sick bee! We better deliver that stat." Did she mean a Beedrill? The package was awfully small for one of those, but maybe it was in its Pokeball. "Cmon, let's go!" Yggy rustled through the Tall Grass, peering ahead of him to see if he could spot the so-called Happy Nurse. "Watch out for Metapod! I hate stepping on 'em. They crunch real loud."

woodblock • Posts: 8 Trainer Class: Gardener Player Name: MAMIKO (MIMI) OHASHI	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by woodblock on Jan 30, 2022 1:21:14 GMT 9 "Yeah, definitely! I'm like, the same person." Yggy's response puts Woodblock at ease... but now that she knew there was a real person beside her, she wanted to make sure he knew she was a skilled companion. The boy warned "Watch out for Metapod! I hate stepping on 'em. They crunch real loud." "Ah yea, they're pretty annoying, right?" She had no idea what he was talking about but he didn't need to know that. As they walk through the grass, more and more green chrysalis's appear. All with unblinking eyes, beaming at the two players. It was incredibly unnerving. Woodblock tries to maintain a cool composure but can't help fixating on the metapod in her peripherals. Without realizing, her foot hits one of the heavy creatures and she loses her balance. She screams... but there's no impact. She's just sorta floating an inch above the ground. She slowly gets up, picking up her master with a sort of spooked expression (He doesn't care and is just annoyed she dropped him). Before she can ask Yggy questions or regain composure, a Pidgey flies down apparently alarmed by her shriek. She might be a mess but she still has to prove her skill in front of the boy! Trying to muster some amount of coolness. "alright, Yggy, don't be scared!" She exclaims, noting in her head that she was the one screaming two seconds ago "This bird is nothing compared to Bulbasaur! Go, master... eat it!" Not having ever been in a pokemon battle, this is the most logical attack she thinks of. Right before the bulbasaur reaches the bird, a floating Porygon pops up in the middle of its path. <BZZZT! It's me, C0D13, your Virtual Assistant! Looks like it's BATTLE TIME!> it buzzed. <There are FOUR things you have to remember in a Pokemon Battle! One--> It repeats the phrase like a broken record, never arriving at the end of its sentence. Woodblock is stupefied at this point. "dafuq is this game, dude?"

He whipped around so fast he thought his virtual neck muscles were gonna snap. "Shoot! Are you okay? What happened?" He headed back towards her, jumping between patches of grass like stepping-stones in a river of Metapod. I shouldn't have gone so far ahead... Before he could reach her, the Pidgey appeared. Yggy scowled. "Uh, I'm not sca-- anyway," the blonde teen started to say, then shook it off in favor of his usual, more lighthearted attitude. "I mean haha, yeah, eat it, Bulbasaur! I mean... in a good way," he rephrased hastily. "That didn't come out right." C0D13 the UI Assistant decided to appear at that moment, which either meant A. another stupid glitch or B. Woodblock had never been in a Wild Pokemon battle and the Porygon had shown up to give her the tutorial. Either way, things went from tense to crazy. "Crap, I forgot to report that glitch!" He looked around for an escape, but there were definitely way too many Metapod around to make a clean getaway. What if they slipped and Woodblock fell down again and crushed the sick bee or something? "Ugh! Guess we're doing this. If we finish the battle, maybe he'll go away." <There are FOUR things you have to remember in a Pokemon Battle! One--> "Your Bulbasaur knows Tackle, right?" Yggy tried to talk louder over the annoying dialogue loop, "That will probably work on that Pidgey! You should try it!" As he said this, the Pidgey swooped down towards Woodblock, releasing a trio of miniature Gusts from its wings. Yggy yelled in protest, covering his face as air buffeted the two of them like a windy day. Do I have to send out a Pokemon too? It seems like overkill for just a Pidgey...

That will probably work on that Pidgey! You should try it!" She snaps back to attention, "Uh right! Go, tackle, master!" The Bulbasaur readily catapults towards the pidgey, and the two collide. The pidgey falls to the ground with swirls in its eyes. C0D13 blips out of existence, and the area is quiet once again. "Yoooooo!!! Yggy... I did it! This is so cool!" Woodblocks jumps in excitement, and turns to bulbasaur "You always amaze me, master. Imma learn your ways an make ya proud. Promise." After a brief moment of celebration, the two make their way through the woods, giving Woodblock time to review the embarrassing incident... When they arrive at the Pokecenter, She turns to Yggy "You're a good man, Yggy. And a good man deserves reward for the troubles." She was trying her best to still sound respectable. "Here, take this..." She said, digging through her inventory, "Fishing rod. You worked hard for this, you deserve it."

You're a good man, Yggy. Had anyone ever said that to him before? "Oh... wow!" he finally managed. "You're serious? For me?" His hands shook as he confirmed the inventory drop and collected the beautiful Fishing Rod from woodblock. "These are like, really expensive. Are you sure? I mean like, don't you want to go fishing too?" Dots connected and he smacked himself on the forehead. "Oh, duh! We can go together! I'll send you a friend request, okay?" He was midway through sending Woodblock his username details when the Nurse arrived at his shoulder, scaring him. "Yikes! Hi Nurse Joy!" He'd almost forgotten they were standing in the Pokecenter. "Uh, how's the sick bee?" he managed, quickly tapping send. Woodblock would see the friend request pop up with a ping! "She's doing just fine," the nurse assured him, then turned to Woodblock. "Young lady, thanks to your timely action, this Beedrill will live to drill another day. I've already contacted your Professor to know you made it here safely." "CONGRATULATIONS, TRAINERS." Professor Ash's voice issues suddenly from both Yggy and Woodblock's UI. A small video feed of the woman appears as she speaks. "You've safely delivered the package and proven yourself capable trainers. Now, I wish you luck on your Pokemon adventure!" A flurry of celebratory music plays before the message closes out. "I guess that's it," Yggy said after waiting for a moment to see if there was any more. Bet Professor Ash didn't see Woodblock fall on her butt, though! Grinning, Yggy stretched his hands behind his head. "Hey, let's hang out again soon, okay? You and your 'master' are pretty cool!"
