Darkness rolled in upon the active forest of Beta Island. Night took hold of the world, and silence fell upon the once loud trees as diurnal bugs began to sleep. In the deep thickness of the jungle's centre, all that the stars' light could aglow were the smothering leaves that made up an all-encompassing canopy. Within the pitch below, a shadow within the dark stalked for prey. The once little bird had found its' calling for battle and had since grown twicefold since. Nothing could stop him now. Nothing, except for- "Hey, can you wait up? Please, little lass..." The trainer's well timed command kept the Dartrix from bolting off to only God knows where. Lucky had been taking his nightly stroll a bit further than he did in the previous days, his journey taking him to this, the heart of the forest. He couldn't see a darned thing, but his Pokémon clearly could from the sound of it. Lucky's minimap showed him that there was some other unfortunately lost schmuck around, and he had been following that trail for some time just to see if he could find someone to talk at for the night. He had been hearing a particular series of rustling in the foliage for some time now, and someone to talk at would be the perfect thing to calm his nerves. The only thing was that this other player was consistently evading his efforts to follow. Was this man intentionally avoiding Lucky, or was it that he was just totally lost? He wasn't sure, but Lucky had just about enough of this. At risk of irritating the wildlife, his fingers came to his lips as he mentally issued a command to whistle. Hard. Oh, how he loved the digital world, wherein he could enact the fantasy of whistling how he never could in real life... Furrlicity Purrfection |

Unlike someone normal, who would maybe read some more Tutorials to better understand what they were doing, Furrlicity had gotten his Starter and then promptly wandered off into the wild unknown. This game couldn't be that hard, right? Plus, by tinkering in the settings, he had found some basic Teleport functions if he got really lost. No harm, no foul.
Maybe he would find a fowl out here.
"I wonder if they have cats." He muttered idly out loud to himself. His sullen starter was on his bulky shoulders, still rubbing her head from where Furrlicity had accidentally hit her. The Sobble pointedly kept her little arms crossed and back to the man, even where she rested, looking out into the woods as she begrudged her luck in life.
Neither of them noticed the growing number of eyes watching from the shadows.
As it happened, Furrlicity was not avoiding Lucky Guy on purpose. See, when Lucky had gotten close enough, his mini map had updated so he started to follow the dot. The problem was the dot kept moving, and he kept doing weird stuff to try and get closer, which had left to this intricate dance between the two of them; like two beautiful stars circling each other, closer and closer, until finally they crash together.
A harsh whistle sounded just as Furrlicity crashed through some underbrush.
"Found you!" Was called. |

"You found me? Sounds like you're right in rag order if-" There were many things that Lucky wanted to say at the time. Some were kind, and others irritated at the strange circumstance of blindly fumbling about in the dark like this. Discourse would have to wait in favor of chaos today. The rustling of leaves only grew as Furrlicity Purrfection left them-and with those rustlings came angry cries. First one or two of a simple irritation, then a mounting wave of angry cries. Lucky didn't even know what they were other than a colony. He didn't need to know to know that they meant danger right now. Lucky wasn't afraid. He heard the quiet whisper of his Pokémon beside him, as if she were saying 'I can take care of this'. Lucky believed her. A nod and a quiet command under the rumble of angry cries was all the Dartrix needed to begin retaliating at the flock that stuck themselves to the treetops. Flurries of wind cut through the canopy ceiling, and light began to shine in beacons down into the forest where Treeko fell. "Oi, you there! Help me fend them off-Look up!" it was the least Lucky could do to try to spur this man into action in face of a chaotic situation.

"I sure did!" Hands on his hips, Furrlicity gave a chuckle as he looked over Lucky Guy. Maybe, just maybe there was a chance for mischief here. He would need to mull it over.
Sadly, that chance would not come.
"Ack!" A green lizard stuck to his face, making him yelp. It let out a cry as some friends decided to attack- most of which were thankfully fended off by Lucky's big owl. "Get this thing- omph! Onmah shff!" Furrlicity groped for the Treeko on his face but the bastard was slippery. It ended up slipping out of his fingers and crawled into his mouth.
There was a strangled, muffled noise of frustration and Furrlicity grabbed for his Sobble. He then, as was good to do, yeeted her in the hopes she would make herself useful.
Tiramisu Ice Cream Cake Milk, the Sobble, started to fire off Water Guns at anything that came close. If she hit or not? Not her problem. |

QUEST COMPLETE!
"Nice work, trainers." Professor Ash's voice emanates from your UI as another video message loads on-screen. "My sensors are reading that the swarm has been neutralized successfully."
The quest marker you had been standing on spins once in place before disappearing in a shower of pixels, leaving only two remaining on your minimap. "Take your findings to Dr. Bunya, I'm sure she'll be as pleased as I am. Keep up the good work."
The video message ends, the Professor's serious tone clashing with the peal of congratulatory music that plays. You defeated a whole Treecko swarm! It's time to celebrate!

Defeating the whole swarm was rather generous of a term in Lucky's eyes-either his sight was playing tricks on him or he could have sworn that there were more things crawling in the canopy. At risk of being ambushed, Lucky decided to lay his mind to rest for time time being and looked away from the canopy to the forest floor. Of note were the closest Treeko to his foot, which was promptly caught in his golden ball, and the other person atop it that he'd almost forgotten about.
"Fierce job, bud. What's say we crack on to another part of the woods for a while? I'd look into the swarm here if I could, but I'm not cut out to climb trees tonight. I don't want another Treeko cutting a holy show in front of us again, yeah? I'll lead us out." Lucky knew that he didn't want to see another Treeko again at the very least. That's why he decided to cut ties with his walk route for the night, turning back to go back the way he came from.

There were more muffled noises as Professor Ash spoke, Furrlicity still wrangling the Treeko. The bastard was determined to punch his uvula or something. Using both hands he finally got it out, spitting as he did, and then slammed the golden pokeball into it's face.
"Nasty!"
A little more spitting and rubbing his face, the Sobble snickering at his misery, before Furrlicity realized that Lucky Guy was talking to him.
"Crack a- huh?" Leaning over, he picked up his Sobble, who deflated and crossed her angry little arms in defiance. "Look around some more? Sure, dude." Since Lucky seemed determined to lead the way, he would follow, looking around as he did. "So, like, you got a name, my guy?" |

"Ah, yeah, I'm Lucky. Sounds like you've found yourself a bit short of my name, yea? Sorry about all of this. Not like I caused it, but I'm still sorry. That looked like a trainwreck for you. Never seen anyone chug lizards for sport, not even the thick and locked saps at the pub.
What're your names, then? All's fair that we share around the table after getting into a brawl together. Should I be hearing a cat pun from you in a few for being the bloke to ask that much?"
Lucky was leading the way through the forest proper. Thankfully, despite the pitch darkness, Lucky always had a knack for direction that he almost never used on account of never leaving his home. At least it was useful in remembering which code was where... And how long he was supposed to walk in the forest. The minimap helped him align just enough to not be lost from his starting point. He was thankful of this other person's ability to bluster blindly in the darkness, because he didn't want to slow down just for one guy.

"It tasted like... the worst, most wilted salad you can imagine. Except alive." Yes, the Treeko, when Furrlicity named him, would most likely not have a nicer name. Poor Treeko. He hadn't done anything wrong.
"Furrlicity Purrfection." Exaggerating, he purred it out, making sure to flick one of the blond cat ears on his head when he did. It felt strange but oddly natural. Like this was what he should have been all along. Maybe, behind the screen, Chu-e was just an unrealized furry.
"Have you been playing for very long?" He jerked a thumb at Lucky Guy's pokemon. It was bigger than his pokemon, which had to mean something, right? "I just started recently. Have no idea what the hell I'm doing." Not spoken like it bothered him.
Furrlicity stepped over brush and vines, easily picking his way through behind his new adventure-mate. He wasn't much for paying attention to where he was going. Exploring was just better with company. |

"You could say that. I'm part of the login portal development team, working as freelance out in Wicklow. I had a grand enough time coding the login and character creatin' code that I'd worked up an invite to the beta a bit earlier than others. Thought I'd take a gander inside to see what all's been banjaxed up enough to need a professional look, you get me? Once I started workin' here, started feeling like an obligation to help keep this place as spic as i could make it.
Wouldn't say I've played for too long, though. This lass here... She just runs into trouble like a right magnet, she does. Grows real fast, too. Its a bit ominous." Maybe that's why he'd decided to name her Omen, he mused. A hand of his ran through her frathers all the while as her eerie whispers slipped through the darkness. Those quiet not-quite words assured him that it was surely her destiny to become strong-that she was created to watch over others.
"Aye, you're a right deadly girl, you are. Try not to 'watch over our mate here, though. You might be givin' him the creeps." That intense gaze of Omen's would level off at his words as she divulged her attention towards her master. That's right, Furrlicity was a friend. He had aided them. I'm watching him for his own good, her whispers assured, the creatures go so far as to crawl in his mouth. I should chew them first for him if he needs to be fed.
"Oh, that's nasty. Come off of it, girl."

"That's cool." Furrlicity nodded as he listened to Lucky Guy. Sounded like this guy was really on the 'in' with this game. "I make bread for a living." Which maybe did not sound as impressive, sure, but it might put their realms of experience into perspective for the other. Which is to say- Furrlicity had none.
Omen certainly was a card, but any creepy looks or whispers were just met with a raised brow and a bemused look. Furrlicity didn't scare that easy; honestly, her act kind of reminded him of when he and his brother were twelve. They acted so emo and like they were the baddest...
"I don't think my Sobble likes me very much." He paused, in thought. "Probably because I accidentally hit her when the professor gave her to me." |
