[ti]megathread[/ti] PARK OF DOGS

In his case, he’d left (was that even possible?) the Tower of Dogs so he’d missed the entire ‘seasons changing’ shenanigans that had happened in its interiors.

When he saw the server-wide alert that the place was open once more, he immediately made it a priority to go there, warping as soon as he could and going to where…

And swore.

He fucking swore.

“Tempt me with all these Wooloo, why don’t you?!” he would wail; seeing the white balls of fluff. Played only until Generation Six he may have, however when the drip marketing for Generation Eight came out with these ovines. Well.

He was all over them. They were just THAT CUTE, okay?!

Anyway.

Seeing that the Wooloo were rolling away, he sighed.

“You know, chasing them around when they’re rolling away from you means they don’t like you! Let me try.”

From within his pockets, he would pull out one of the newer companions; sending out a strange-looking apple that had a stick stuck into the top of it…

“Go help with the herding, but don’t hurt them!”

He would get a squelching noise in answer—huh, was this one non-verbal too—before an Energy Ball startled one of them that was about to jump the fence!

Dipplin used Energy Ball (grass-type move)!

"Woah! What happened to the trees?!" The blonde hastily backed up as a line of Happiny dressed for elementary school toddled past in single-file, trundling off the map. "Haha, they look so cute. Oh hoop, next round!!"

Yggy trotted back through the gates into the dogless park, backpedaling to examine the sign again. "Man, I wonder why they can't go in. I guess they might poop on the grass or something..."

<Doesn't stop me,> said Nugget the Pikachu, kicking Yggy in the back of the head as he climbed his way onto her shoulder. "Hey, ow! Be careful, Nugget!"

The next prompt flashed in the corner of her HUD and Yggy lit up. "Wooo! Z-Move! We can do that one, right?"

Nugget knew what this meant. It was Gigavolt Havoc time.

One massive electrical surge later, and Wooloo were rolling towards the gates like obedient little sheep. "C'mon guys, let's herd them this way!" Yggy yelled, rushing to hold the gate open. She pretended to hold a flare in one hand like an airway traffic coordinator, grinning. "Yep, forward! Yep! This way, sheepies!"

Pikachu used Z-Move: Gigavolt Havoc

"Yeeeeeehawww!!!" Came the cry of the most excited Orthworm on the whole of the server. The most southern worm ever was doing everything he could have dreamed of.

He was herding a hoard of sheep like the cowboy he truly was, deep down. No amount of loud, obnoxious noises, or incredibly powerful electricity could shake him from his task. The only thing keeping him from digging straight through the ground and circling them up was his trainer clutching to his back.

Little Catcher hands stuck to his steel body, the little girl attempting to ride him like a bucking bronco. "Woah now! Careful! I'm gonna fall!"

"You won't fall, Rose! It's just a good ol' fancy Baaaallet number with all these sheep! A few steps that way, then this way, and then a good ol' roll on down the hill!" He paused his words to suddenly reach out a blue appendage to smack a Wooloo with a sudden Smack Down! "Ah reckon them Doggo's gonna be playing good tonight, I tell you what! We're living in high cotton, Rosie!"

"Aaah!" Rose cried out, desperately clinging to the back as her wings fluttered in an attempt to keep her balance and not fall off the edge. "What does that even meaaaan?"

NEXT PROMPT #47: [Tower]1v5vghUu1-50

Lucille once again found herself within the Dog Park. This time with a very different purpose, it had been quite some time since she had logged into UnoVR and while things never stood still and were always advancing, she was beginning to feel a little rusty. The tall silvery-white haired woman would reach a gloved hand under her jacket and pluck a small, strange teal colored capsule from her belt, the sphere rolling between her fingers before sitting in her palm. The kindler watched as other trainers corralled the Wooloo and tried many strategies to try and get them to wherever they needed to be. Quirking a single eyebrow in mild intrigue when an idea struck her ❝Aymr perhaps you could block their paths with some fire?❞ With that said, she turned her attention to the large ghostly form of her Hisuian partner.

Aymr with his eyes half-lidded, stared at Lucille with a questionable look ❝I'd burn the grass but sure, guess I can try to block 'em off.❞

Lucille blinked and paused for a moment ❝Actually on second thought, maybe that's not such a good idea. Wouldn't want to set the whole place ablaze.❞ ❝Gee, ya' think? Here, let me take care of this.❞ Aymr scoffed and rolled his eyes before moving his hands elegantly, focusing ghostly fire energy between them and shaping a ring of several fireballs before launching them towards the walking balls of wool that were straying off from the pack as the others herded them.

The final Wooloo was proving to be the most challenging to catch, moving at double speed like the last enemy on screen in classic arcade games. Withdrawing Xira for Goroh, the Cyclizar's wheels left a mark on the ground as the squealed, the dragon-type tearing off after the double-speed Pokémon with a BREAKING SWIPE.

While the carnage was going on, his eyes turned toward the green-ette with the fellow Yanma. Wow, did she ever look attractive! Though he was single and not looking, getting to know the girl was tempting. The young man waved toward Shalin Nariya , not saying anything to capture her attention. She might get angry if her focus was disturbed!

Torino's laughter fluttered like Rose Garden as she watched her friend wrangle sheep. "It is just like a country Summer!" she said, as the Wooloo were penned and sheared with simulated efficiency.

"I am sorry about your toys," she said, comforting Zamazenta with a quick pat to the head. She put on a resolute face. "But we will find a better ball!"

Filled with the fire of low-stakes determination she stormed the park with her Marocchino's supportive panting at her side. Solosis hung like fruit jellies in the thick Summer air, and Torino set her sights on a pack between Rose Garden and Wolf.

"Let us circle them!" she yelled, pointing at the group. Her Houndour barked and bolted, leaping off the shrubs and low fences. Snaps of shade clacked against empty air as Houndour bit at the fleeing spheres.

Suddenly a dark bite caught the slick side of a Solosis and fangs pushed against rubbery skin like staples against a beachball.

"Lascia!" Called Torino, and the eager dog let its prey go scampering back to the group. "We are chasing, not catching, my little one."

As Wolf expected, the horde of circular wolly wooloo didn’t last that long for the two legendary canine’s. Soon, the farmer came to gather their livestock and sheared their coats to reveal their true form. There was part of her that thought the wooloo’s shaven was cute, much like a sheep in real life. While at the same time, seeing them naked without their fluffy felt wrong in ways she couldn’t really explain. Either way, the two doggos were not longer happy, leaving them bored and needed another form a ‘ball’ to play with.

In the corner of her eyes, the hybrid caught to sight of something round. And when her gaze fell upon said round object, her brows scrunched in mild skepticism of the next possible play toy. She would admit, Sorosis was one of those pokemon she hardly ever messed around with. Not because they were dangerous or bad creatures, the psychic type just didn’t tickler her fancy. However, something told her that they wouldn’t hold up to ‘ball’ expectation the two canine’s wanted. But, who was she to judge?

A shout erupted from another player close by, following several other shouts in communication to gather the creatures for the canines. Grunting to herself, Wolf recalled her previous creature for something that might help stop them in place. Within seconds, the cool sleek yet elegant design of a certain ice eeveeolution materialized. His righteous digits took in the scene within a few moments before falling back upon the handler that summoned him.

The hybrid shrugged her shoulders, gesturing with a head nod towards the floating green blobs. “Can you freeze some of them before they get away?” “Are we still on this?” “Just do it.” The feline rolled his eyes, turning back to the field of, now scattering, Solosis. The glaceon took in a deep breath, lung expanded as the air chilled within its own body. And once his lungs was full of the cold air, his muzzle parted to sent a ICY WIND towards any of the creatures that were within his firing range.

Glaceon used Icy Wind!
