[ti]open[/ti]004- Punchable Mascot

It dawned upon Comet that while checking through his quest list, he actually never bothered to begin the catching tutorial, even if he had...a lot of Pokemon already. Haha. Well, there were a number of reasons why it was still beneficial to do this: one, he could meet someone new, and that was always cool, and two, he did need some fodder Pokemon to trade for the Charcadets that he was eyeing in the Creed base, ever since he slammed that JOIN GUILD button as soon as he got the opportunity. One Charcadet was no good! It had to be two, for extra coolness!

He was in no rush to get this quest started though, and so waited for someone to open the quest for him so that he could join in. Sure enough, on one fine day when he was strolling with Yuzu (the evil Stufful) and Bulgogi (the Houndour), the quest flashed, and he pressed a button to mark it on the map. ❝We're gonna go catch a Pokemon!❞

Bulgogi glanced at his other companion before turning his attention back to his trainer. <The team is already rather big, isn't it?>

Well, the reason why Kimchi wasn't out right now was because he didn't exactly want to tell him about the whole fodder trading thing. He laughed awkwardly, still moving towards where the other player was. ❝It's just something that we gotta do officially for us to get stronger. I need to get it recognized by, uh, someone.❞

<Uh...huh.> the Houndour was doubtful, but decided that it did not necessarily warrant much suspicion, and so let it slide. It was also hard to be so pointed at it with Yuzu cheering about beating up more Pokemon, especially when she stood up on her hind legs for a moment and started to make punching noises like in comic books.

Anyway, they eventually make it to a certain spot where a pretty lady and a floating set of blocks were at. He was at first surprised at her player tag: Nurse Joy, but then he realized that the NPC tags looked different, so this was a player cosplaying as her, or something. Is cosplaying the correct term in a VR world? ❝Oh hey, it's C0D13! You look a lot more chill than I expected.❞ he did recall that the Porygon was meant to be a helper before it went rogue...or something. What was it doing here though? He thought that it had been replaced by another Pokemon (which he recalled seeing on the UI sometimes?)

❝We doing the catching tutorial, yeah?❞ he would glance over at the other player with a grin on his face, ❝Not gonna lie I'm just here to chuck a ball and bounce. We playing soft or hard today?❞
