He’d followed rumors that there was one singular Fire-type here; however would he be able to find them? came for one thing, and one thing only

He’d heard horror stories from some of the folk he’d passed by in Briarbane—about how it took them several days to find the Pokémon they were looking for out in the wilds. (Well, how does one explain the Murkrow he’d met, then? Was that—no, Alkaid, don’t jinx it!) ‘So what’re we looking for out here?’ the Grass-type would drawl; before waving the stick threateningly at the shadow of something that ran by them and disappeared into the undergrowth. “You’ll know when you see it.” ‘Being mysterious now, are we?’ came for one thing, and one thing only

That would be absolutely terrifying. came for one thing, and one thing only

Erase, erase! He then decided to lower—as in ridiculously lower—his expectations; because he knew about the trick regarding the ‘desire sensor’ that existed in almost every single game—the more one wanted something, the less it would appear. Inversely, the less one wanted a particular thing, the more of it would appear… Hopefully that adage was true in this case, too. ‘What are you thinking of?’ “…the best way to throw hands when that shows up.” came for one thing, and one thing only

The moment he moved forward to charge at the Vulpix was the moment the Grookey realized that this was the one that his crazy human companion was looking for! ‘What do you know, it worked,’ was all he heard from the Grookey; while he immediately proceeded to start throwing hands at the Vulpix—had it not started opening fire with peppered bursts of flame headed their way! ‘Hey, don’t look at me, I’m not the one fighting you,’ the Grass-type would egg on the Vulpix. ‘You’re fighting the human!’ time to throw hands with the Vulpix, Benet!

All the Grass-type could do now was watch; and hope that whatever the insane stupidity their human was getting into, would eventually calm down… or maybe there was a method to the madness they didn’t know about? time to throw hands with the Vulpix, Benet!

Seeing this, the Vulpix would nod quietly in the human’s direction; seeing the fierce determination in his eyes as the strange one charged right at them just as more flames erupted from their maw! “Trial by fire, as they say!” he would remark; raising his arms to defend against the incoming wall of heat. time to throw hands with the Vulpix, Benet!

Should he be confrontational? Or careful— Wait, ‘careful’ didn’t exist in Benet’s vocabulary! At least, up until the time he quit the original game server where he came from. “Oh, you did not just dodge that!” he would glower; wiping the side of his mouth with the back of his hand. “Get back here!” The Vulpix would growl; hackles raised before charging right at him once again. He was determined to see this through to the end, and that he would do! ‘Don’t get in too much over your head!’ the Grookey would warn him. time to throw hands with the Vulpix, Benet!

The two were caught in an apparent stare down; at least until the Vulpix decided to move and charge with their maw aflame—this was going to singe in more ways than one! ‘Utterly reckless,’ the Grookey would unhelpfully commentate from the side. time to throw hands with the Vulpix, Benet!

Either way, the Vulpix had been caught off-guard by his latest attack and he realized that he was slowly but surely gaining the trust of the Fire-type the longer this went on! “You’re coming with us, I don’t care how long it takes, but you are, and you will,” he breathed out as he then watched the Fire-type planning their next move… time to throw hands with the Vulpix, Benet!

He then turned to face the two, pinching the bridge of his nose. “You know, you two—if you’re going to talk shit about me, do it in front of me, and not behind my back!” he would retort in their direction; sparing them one vicious side-eye before turning back to face the Vulpix once more. “…sorry about that.
