[ti]spawn[/ti][S] Bug Hunt

The sound of buzzing wings was a delight for the explorer: a Yanma zipped close to Saria, trying to take a chomp out of her with a BUG BITE. Lacking the speed to turn the mandible attack into a glancing blow, the Bulbasaur instead outstretched her vines, trying to snatch the bug Pokémon out of the sky in a VINE WHIP. The purpose of her attack was not to damage directly, but to immobilize the foe so that she could follow up with Poison Powder and make the capture easier.

This Pokémon was at the very top of Shalin's want list from the Surge Steppes. Once she cracked the code, she would be able to pull quite the impressive feat. Yanmega was one of the mountable Pokémon in the game, so she couldn't test that. One day, though, she would wow all of UNOVR with a ludicrous stunt.

Not only could Shalin feel the vibrations, but she could see them, Saria squinting as she held her vines tightly. By chance, she had once snatched a dragonfly out of the air ahd held it as it churned its wings in a desperate bid to escape. If she could feel its vibrations, then the power behind such a large insect's tracked. Still, why had Saria received such an unnatural speed boost? She wasn't complaining, but it was something she wanted to get to the bottom of.

The BUG BUZZING continued, the wild unable to use any of its other attacks. Completely focused on holding onto the writhing bug, Saria let the POISON POWDER do its work, looking to wear it out the rest of the way. In the meantime, Shalin procured a large net from her bag and slammed down onto Saria's vine from the center, putting another barrier of escape up in case her grass-type became too stiff to hold on any longer.
