Searching the Undergrowth [Catch / Training / Complete]

[Andrea Thaddeus]

some coincidences are deliberate

Unova, Forest / Huehuehue / training

Andie had decided to go to Unova for the time being, in order to look for some additional Pokémon to add to her roster, which currently had just two occupants—Max and Lexie. By some weird stroke of luck her Feebas had evolved during the journey, and was now a Milotic, something that was essential for any and all Coordinator performances. She knew that her luck was running pretty low—not that she needed any more reminding of it—and that she was in desperate need of some “practice” before heading off to the ‘big leagues’, since she’d heard over the news that there was a contest going on in her home region, Hoenn. Just give me a few more days and I’ll get there. I just need to hurry up with my practicing here; and hopefully get the ‘mon that I need while I’m at it! She thought, shivering at the thought of actually returning home; it had been a while since she’d left. She was now prowling around the White Forest, a huge ‘natural reserve’ where Pokemon frolicked freely without human intervention.

She then reached behind her and then whipped out her collapsible staff, and with a flick of her wrist the seemingly simple stick suddenly expanded and showed its full length—she needed to have this handy if in case she was jumped on; or to shove some of the excessive undergrowth out of the way. Come out, come out, wherever you are… she thought to herself as she looked around, trying to squint into the gloom and see further ahead. Her ears were now taking in all of the forest noise, isolating each and every individual sound—because who knew what the hell would jump out at her!

Capture Attempt / Ponyta too fierce / 835

As she continued to go through the undergrowth, she was surprised to suddenly feel the hairs on the back of her neck tingling—what was setting this off? She then lowered her left hand to her pocket, ready to take out a certain Pokeball if in case things got really nasty. She then turned around on the spot very slowly as the feeling intensified—apparently it was a horde of human-shaped black-and-white ‘mons that were going through the area, and from what she could tell from the looks on their faces, they were looking for something. What that something was, she had no idea—only that they were staring quite intently at her, like she was an invader of some sort. She could pick out three of the older version of the miniature black-and-white ‘mons herding them around; while the five younger ones look… quite harassed or something. Oh boy, looks like they’re in for some trouble… she thought as she then reached for a certain Pokeball and decided to send out Max, her Ponyta. She knew that she had to get him evolved so that she could actually ride him like a horse; but for now his size was a bit… deterrent to that.

“Max, turn up the light and let the fireworks show go!” she said, watching as the Pokeball she chucked exploded in a flash of red light, releasing the Fire Horse ‘mon, who began pawing at the ground before hearing his mistress’ orders. “Pony, ponytaaaa!” she heard him neigh out; before the flaming mane on its back burned more brightly and it looked right to the sky; even if the weather was looking overcast for the moment, it then suddenly changed to summertime weather! “Perfect! Next step!” she shouted, shielding her eyes from the heat as the Fire Horse ‘mon then reared back, shuffling its blazing mane around; before letting loose a brilliant burst of flame that was aimed right at the “platoon” of Gothita and three Gothorita. Normally, these individuals would not be intimidated by such powerful flames; however being caught off-guard like that… let’s just say that the three Gothorita were sent scattering out of surprise! Since their species are known for being the Fixation ‘mon, getting them surprised is usually a good way to fluster them, and that’s what happened: the older Gothoritas went fleeing out of terror, therefore causing the five remaining Gothita to go crazy.

“Oops,” she mumbled to herself as she saw the five young ones go crazy over losing their elder companions. “Max, jump high and crash down with a hoof!” she continued; knowing what the next sentence meant—her Ponyta then took the cue and began a running start, before suddenly leaping high into the air. The five Gothita then looked up as one entity to see the Fire Horse leap into the sky—and were subsequently blinded by the glaring sunlight. A few moments later; the Ponyta came crashing down, knocking over three of the Gothita, which startled them even more—and sending the three fleeing. That now left her with two, who were so scared they were quivering like Snorunt. Pffft. They’re chicken… she thought, hoping that the one she’d get for herself (as someone had slipped in a word for her to get a Gothita for them too) wouldn’t be too scared of Max in the future. The one who wobbled forward seemingly flailed its limbs; before releasing a blast of psychic energy aimed at the Ponyta, to which she countered, “Move quickly, then fly again!” she continued, knowing that the way she issued her commands were now trained into the two ‘mons she traveled with—and the Ponyta did as such; evading the hunk of energy before taking another running start and flying high!

Oops did he even Stomp down? She wondered to herself as the lead Gothita tried to make heads or tails of where its opponent had went—and a few moments later, came crashing down again on the two Gothita; surprising the heck out of one of them before Max raised its front legs and came down with a Stomp attack, meant to shock the living daylights out of them. “Make use of the sun, hurry! Let the fireworks go again!” she continued, watching as the Ponyta raced back to where she stood, before flipping around and then flashing its mane-a few seconds later another blast of fire erupted from where it stood; racing towards the two shell-shocked Gothita. The one in front then tried in vain to repel it with another hunk of psychic energy, but the incoming flash grenade was too much and it engulfed them; before petering out a few moments later… to reveal that both Gothita had flopped over out of shock and surprise due to the Fire Blast attack. Ouch, she cringed to herself as she quickly plucked two blank Pokeballs from her pocket, and tossed it towards the two fallen Psychic-types; watching as they disappeared in a flash of light…

Gothita acquired / thread over / 202

She had seen and gone through many Pokemon battles; but all of those were for training. That was, until this very moment, because she saw a window of opportunity with the Gothita she had just attempted to—“Oh? Wait, that’s it?” she said out of surprise as she saw the two Pokeballs stop quivering. One of them was for her own personal use; while the other was for someone who had been looking for that particular ‘mon and had posted a Wanted ad; hoping that someone would take the bait. Thankfully, she had done so and now whipped out her mobile phone and then punched in a message, before sending it to the number stated in the ad she’d ripped off from one of the lamp posts that littered the area. Well, that’s that. Now for the drop-off… she thought to herself as she then pocketed the two Pokeballs and then looked around; before departing from the area. “My work here is done,” she said to herself, quickly collapsing the staff she’d taken out in order to help her swat aside the undergrowth; before turning tail and heading back to the area’s Pokemon Center in order to get her team rested up.
