Quite the contrary, in fact. But they were already in the area, and the wild Pokemon in the area were fascinating sorts, exactly the type of Pokemon that Genesis hoped to catch for further study down the line. Besides, what was life without a little bit of risk now and then? The electricity crackling through the air was enough to get Genesis buzzing as they paced back and forth and looked all around them in the hopes of spying a wild Pokemon that would soon become their own. It was only a matter of time... 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. Genesis

Was it a wild Pokemon, or just the breeze blowing through the Steppes, or a distant roar of thunder? It was hard to tell, short as it had been, so Genesis turned every which way, observing their surroundings even more closely in the hopes of finding the source of the sound. "Hello? He wasn't expecting anybody to return his cry, not really, but Genesis figured if it was a wild Pokemon, it might react to the sound of his voice if nothing else and reveal whatever hiding spot it was using now. And who knows, maybe it would be a person after all. Even lone wolves like him would encounter other people now and then, after all, even if they weren't exactly seeking out such opportunities.

That glint in the light, those hoofprints in the dirt... yes, it was a Ponyta in the flesh, tucked behind one of the iron spires that towered over the landscape of the Steppes. Genesis took a few careful steps closer and let Arecibo out of his Poke Ball, having previously kept the Froakie inside due to not wanting the electricity that permeated the air here to harm the Water-type. A smile formed on Genesis' face as he realized that, while the Froakie's typing wasn't ideal for much of the Steppes, it would be perfect for taking down this wild Ponyta. "Arecibo, use Bubble!" The bubbles of water that Arecibo let out had a strange sort of beauty in the dim light of the Steppes, reflecting what light there was to be found there in glints of bright color. King

King • Player Character Posts: 113 Trainer Class: Player Name: King OOC Username: JayTheBird Arena Points: 12	Quote Select Post Deselect Post Link to Post Back to Top Post by King on Nov 28, 2022 12:43:14 GMT 9 Armored water types was absolutely an aesthetic that King was interested in. So, he had to max out Swimmer and then get Armorer. Which, really, easier said than done. But he'd decided to do what he could to at least obtain a steel and fire type that was necessary for becoming an Armorer eventually. He already had plans for the steel type, but the fire type he had been less certain of. But stumbling upon a Ponyta made the decision for him. "Sobek, use Water Gun," King commanded of his Totodile. The bloodthirsty pokemon eagerly obeyed. Then King noticed that another player was there. But, well, two people could catch one pokemon, so he decided against apologizing. Instead, he smiled. The display of sharp canine teeth was not intended as a threat, but it turned a mostly innocent expression absolutely wicked. "I'll be joining you," He stated, not asked. Then, to soften the blunt statement: "Surely you wouldn't mind some help?" He inquired.

"Not a problem." Genesis' tone was blunt as well, and a bit cold, though that was only partially intentional on his part. He made himself smile a bit as he added, "Two Water-types are better than one, after all." It was a trite saying, but true nonetheless in this situation. With Arecibo letting loose another Bubble and the Totodile spraying a Water Gun in the air, not only was the wild Ponyta clearly outnumbered and overpowered, but the beauty of water glinting in the air amidst the strange lighting of the Steppes was increased at least twofold. Had that been properly studied before? Perhaps Genesis had another research subject on his hands... King

She sighed as she got ready to help fight with an Eerie calm. "Mind if i zoom in?" She asked before having her Popplio attack. "ARIEL WATER GUN!" The water seal let off the attack at the ponyta,hoping to defend the omes fighting. "Im Max. sorry to drop in but i say you having issues so i wanted to help!"

"You speak truly," King agreed. Two water types were better than one. That said... King scowled somewhat as a third party intervened, uncaring of his own hypocrisy. Then the other's pokemon fainted after barely dealing any damage at all. King raised an eyebrow. *"You thought we were in trouble? We're handling things quite fine, thank you. You, however... You might wish to visit a shrine to heal up."* "Sobek, Water Gun," He ordered of his own partner, hiding his inner grimace to have to sound as if he was mimicking this other person. King had been here first... Well, second. Still, if anyone was a copycat, it wasn't him.
