Player 2 has joined in!

It was hard to miss it. The ground rumbled violently as Arthur stared at an Onix moving towards them. Based on the pop up, he figured that Player 2, whoever this was, was riding on the Onix, and he was correct. However, as to where the player was riding on the Onix, well, he had no idea how the person was managing it (he could barely tell how they even looked like with all of that swinging up and down - they did look like a woman, he supposed). Immediately, he was reminded of another mount-loving player; the person who taught him about how to ride in-game. Did they know each other? Surely the game was not that big that they would have never run into each other, considering that their mounts allowed them to travel to all sorts of places at high speeds.

Err, how was she going to catch a Pokemon from there though? Was she going to get off? (And why did she even need the tutorial when she gave off the vibe that she had been here for a while? Maybe she needed a Pokemon that only spawned in the tutorial? Or maybe she was here for the Porygon?)

In any case, it appeared that COD13 sensed that one of them already knew how to catch Pokemon, so the funny-shaped creature just informed them that their Golden Poke Balls are in their inventories, ready to be used. Anyway, that pop up should have given all the information that Arthur needed, and what better way to find out than to jump right to it?

❝Hey uh, 'scuse me, are you going to get over here for the tutorial spawn?❞ he called to the second player, having to raise his voice to get past the rumbling. You know, maybe he was mistaken - for all he knew, there could be another player here hiding or something.

Nope, she was indeed on the Onix's tail, but when Arthur expected her to get off, she instead continued to ride the Pokemon as it moved into position to attack. Was she insane? He couldn't even tell how she looked like, exactly, with her hair swooshing around everywhere. She did eventually get off for the actual attack (which made the trainer feel a little relieved) and let her Onix attack. Surprisingly, the cat held up quite well (maybe it had only used one life to escape that deathly set of rocks) and countered fiercely.

Right, they should join in the fray. He tossed the Chimchar's Poke Ball into the air, as close as he could to the Onix, and commanded him to Scratch back, peeling them off against the rock's face. Attacking the cat, with the momentum of being able to jump from where he materialized into the world, was not too difficult of a feat. The attack, though, ended up something more like a full-body tackle than a scratch, but Gou was able to use the cat's body to soften the landing on the ground. Ouch.
