Domino • G.A.Y. Round 2 Posts: 314 Trainer Class: Player Name: Hilda Faust OOC Username: Stells Arena Points: 40	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Domino on Nov 17, 2022 18:28:37 GMT 9 Near the laboratory where all new players first obtain their starter Pokémon, there is a small patch of tall grass clearly meant for them to practise their Pokémon catching skills. It’s an unsurprising sight, it is expected, and yet, the tall grass is as serene and quiet as can be. As if there were no Pokémon to be found. <'Char?'> A woman leans against a nearby tree, arms crossed over her chest. By her side sits a Charmander that yawns as if he were extremely bored of this. How long have they been standing there? She stares at the grass blades that are lightly swayed by an ocean breeze – watching them. What is she looking for? Is she waiting for something? Truth be told, this is one of the two tutorials Domino had decided not to skip for now, but there’s no telling exactly what will pop out of the tall grass. As such, she patiently waits for someone else to stop by. TUTORIAL 004 - WHAT'S THE CATCH? ENTERING THE TALL GRASS! When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the ~~ATTACK~~ button to weaken it! But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 10% or below, up to 2 players may spend 25 BYTES to catch it here. You may also simply ~~retreat~~ to end the encounter. Retreating succeeds automatically.

Valentine • Soldier, Poet, King Player Character Posts: 186 Trainer Class: Player Name: Logan Denman OOC Username: Haberdasher Arena Points: 60	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by Valentine on Dec 6, 2022 11:11:24 GMT 9 Was it kind of silly to do the catching tutorial after having already caught a handful of Pokemon? Probably. Did Valentine care? Not really. She wanted to knock out some of the tutorials already, take a bit of a breather from running around doing this and that and return to the fundamentals of the game... and get closer to getting her first Trainer star while she was at it, too. Which is why, even though Valentine already had more Pokemon to her name than team slots to put them all in, Valentine approached the patch of tall grass near the laboratory, keeping an eye out for any wild Pokemon to be spotted there. Before she found any wild Pokemon, however, Valentine first spotted a fellow Trainer standing near the tall grass waiting for the catching tutorial to get started. "Hello there!" Valentine waved enthusiastically at the other Trainer. "What do you think will pop out of the tall grass this time? Anything exciting?" Domino

Multicoloured eyes fall upon Valentine, rainbows shining in Domino's own irises. The enthusiastic greeting is met with a simple and slight nod, a clear contrast existing in their demeanors. Domino doesn't particularly mind things like those, though. The Charmander looks at the stranger and opens its mouth – perhaps as another yawn or perhaps to show her his fangs. Knowing Balerion, it's probably the latter. "No clue, to be honest. Tutorial should start if you step closer to the Tall Grass. Get the whole rundown from QUACXEE and all, yeah? Like good ol' times." Like the tutorials in most mainline games, she means, since it has clearly been designed with those in mind. However, UNOVR always adds its fun spin to things, doesn't it? In this case it starts with MOM (NPC) running towards them, pokéball in hand. Domino's gaze remains fixed on Valentine. "Wanna give it a shot?" She asks, nodding towards the grass.

Uh..." Valentine took a large step towards the tall grass, not quite sure where she should be focusing her attention in the meantime--on her conversation partner? On the tall grass itself, and whatever was about to pop out of it? On MOM (NPC) suddenly running their way? As it turned out, though, the point was moot, because whatever she had been focusing on quickly lost focus once QUACXEE popped up seemingly out of nowhere to block her path. "Whoa there! Were you about to step into the Tall Grass?" QUACXEE's voice was robotic and almost monotone despite the emotional intent behind its words, and in a way that could have been soothing, but somehow it just annoyed Valentine even more. Like, it was bad enough being lectured by an actual person, but being lectured by a robot felt even worse. "Wild Pokemon can be found in the Tall Grass! Before you head in there, you need to learn how to catch Pokemon!" "I already know, thanks." Valentine muttered under her breath, turning towards her tutorial partner and sharing an exaggerated eye roll. This was going to be... interesting. Domino

It's only then that she subtly turns to look at the grass, bringing her knuckles up to her lips to stifle a laugh. It's too damn funny. An amused smirk illuminates her expression by the time Mom arrives, unfading even when she gives a casual and all too nonchalant: "Hey, Mom." "Girls! I was going to give you some Pokéballs in case you ran into anything in the tall grass, but it looks like I'm a little late. Do you know how to catch Pokémon? Do you want me to show you?" QUACXEE, who had been cut off by Valentine's actions and who had probably spent this last moment recalculating, chimes in then: <'Great job! When a Pokémon's HP drops to UNDER 10%, you have the option to CAPTURE it! In order to CAPTURE a Pokémon, just throw a POKÉBALL at it!'> An eyebrow is raised by Domino. "Yeah, looks like we got it covered... Can I borrow that?" Domino asks then, gesturing towards the Pokéball still being held tightly by Mom. The caring NPC smiles at her. "Of course, sweetie! Here you go." Taking the Pokéball, Domino does no more than lightly chuck it towards the unconscious Patrat, but as it often happens when more than one player is attempting to capture a wild spawn, a duplicate appears. "Looks like Valentine can catch it too, give it your best shot!"
