(001/action) The Forest Shrine

[reborn_love]

[Forward dated to Monday the 20th.]

[Elly is back on the patrol. She has her Fletchling, Severain, with her today. She stuck to the forest after getting back from the expedition, giving herself and her Pokémon some rest after the intensity of the last patrol. She decided to investigate the shrines that a few reports from other Rangers and wanderers mentioned, though. That led her to the Forest Shrine. She stares up at it, at the moment.]

[Her rod, which she had used to beat back some underbrush, is in hand. Elly flicks it it out to the side -- and then it telescopes back in. She spins the smaller handle, and tucks it into her belt, before she starts walking closer to the small building and the altar.]

[A place where the dead come back to life... she finds that hard to believe, still.]

What--

[Severain turns, looks at Elly, and shakes his head slowly.]

[Elly winces and darts forward, towards where she batted the poor thing. It must be a Pokémon, because it screeched. Which makes her feel guilty and embarrassed. She slows down as she gets closer, and she calls out nervously.]

I'm so sorry! Are... are you okay?

[bravenewmods]

[It is a Pokémon, a Seedot, in fact. It shakes itself back to its senses and waddles out of the bushes. And man does it have a problem with you, Elly! The nerve! It's going to gripe a bit. Loudly.]

[reborn_love]

[Elly holds both hands up, as if to say 'see, the rod isn't anywhere nearby,' and approaches slowly. As she gets closer, she stops and kneels down in front of it.]

[She lets the griping go on for awhile.]

I'm sorry. I should have looked where I was swinging that.

[bravenewmods]

[...Oh, it was an accident? Well then, that's a totally different story! I mean, it's cool and all, it's not like it hurt THAT much, and flying through the air like that was kind of fun.

Can we do it again?]

[reborn_love]

...what.

[DUN DUN DUUUUUNNNH. FORTUNE SMILES UPON THEE, BRAVE TRAVELLER! THOU HAST ACQUIRED:

Broken Elhaym van Houten x1

Venture forth, brave descendant of Erdrick!]

[Elly stares for a moment longer, before she makes the rod extend out again with a snap of her wrist. Then she walks up, staring down at the Seedot with very confused eyes.]

Y--You're sure. About this.

[bravenewmods]

[It nods. Which is to say it shakes it's whole body in an up-down motion. Yes it is so sure, it's never been so sure of anything in its little Seedot life. MAKE IT FLY, ELLY! IT WISHES TO BE ONE WITH THE STARS!]

[reborn_love]

[She is still not so totally okay with this, little Seedot! But it seems to really want to, so...]

[Elly trudges forward, and then carefully -- but with still enough force to send it flying -- swings her rod like a golf club, to pitch the Seedot up high into the air.]

[She resists the urge to shout "fore!"]

[bravenewmods]

[YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~

The Seedot soars through the air, a bit further than it did the last time. A few minutes later, it comes toddling back. Man that was so cool you are so cool! It's jumping in place. DO IT AGAIN!

Looks like you're not getting rid of this one anytime soon.]

[reborn_love]

[She watches him sail away, and then come back up. She smiles, shrugs, and shakes her head. It's a fond sort of motion, though.]

I'll have to find a name. I don't think I can call you 'Golfball,' though.

[bravenewmods]

[A name? Why would it need a name? Also what is a golfball? Seedot looks very confused. You say weird things, Elly.]

[reborn_love]

[She smiles, shakes her head, and then she holds up the Warp Band -- to see if it knows what that is, to see if that's okay. If it seems fine, she presses a small button on it.]

[The prongs come out, and a blur of light comes off one of the prongs, towards the Seedot.]

[bravenewmods]

[It doesn't know what it means, but if it means that it can have more fun around Elly, then it doesn't really care.

Congratulations, you have bonded with Seedot. It is level 7 and its stats, nature and characteristic are up to you.]

[reborn_love]

[It's a hole in one!]
