Wild Pokémon Catch-All

The vast wilderness beckons! Beginning January 25th, 2014, all wild Pokémon threads that aren't incorporated as part of another post should go here. You are still welcome to include a section for bonding with wild Pokémon as a part of another entry or a log, but we encourage isolated wild Pokémon threads to go here to prevent flooding of the main comm with entries specifically geared to only cover wild Pokémon threads.

I like to think so... not that I have much of either myself.

It's nothing I--!

[Jeff jumps a little at the puff of breath that feels more like a gust of wind from such a large creature, crying out in surprise and wheeling around.]

E-excuse me!

[tinytactician]

No, really you can tell m--

[Oh, hi Gertrude. Armin's going to try really really hard to be polite and sympathetic and not laugh at Jeff's reaction.]

Gertrude, be nice. [Is the Steelix rolling her eyes? ...yes, she definitely is. But she'll stoop down and prod the top of Jeff's head politely with one of her stony spines. Hello, tiny human.]

[goingsouth]

[He stoops a little, smoothing out the top of his hair and blushing a little in embarrassment.]

H-hello, Gertrude. You're quite... sneaky for someone your size.

[tinytactician]

[Gertrude makes a sound like rocks grating together. Armin beams.]

She likes you.

[goingsouth]

That's good! She seems very nice.

[As long as she's not making fun of him...!]

[Jeff looks over where his Elekid has stopped in his tracks, sniffing before taking off into the trees.]

W-wait...! Oh dear. [He adjusts his glasses and fidgets.] What do you think it is?

[tinytactician]

[There's a good 75% chance she is, but she's usually making fun of someone (read: Armin).

But wait, the chase is on! Armin will go barreling after the Elekid, heedlessly.]

I have no idea! Come on! [Off to meet potential danger!]

[goingsouth]

Y-yes, all right!

[Jeff takes off after them. Golett decides to stay behind with Gertrude because wow fuck running. He can barely walk without tipping over half the time.]

[Zap, up ahead, will look back at his pursuers, grinning at the challenge and speeding up... only to trip up over his feet and land head (prongs?) first against the base of a big oak tree.]

[tinytactician]

[This will cause several acorns to plop to the ground, one or two on Zap's head, which is only logical, as it's an oak tree.

The big greyish pinecone is another matter. Oak trees don't have pinecones. This is the only thought Armin and Meredith have time for as they round the corner. Then it's too late, as tiny eyes gleam from deep within the layers of protective bark that Pineco's are known for layering on themselves.

They clearly came to the wrong neighborhood. Armin and Meredith dive for cover, attempting to pull Jeff along, because 3, 2, 1, go, the Pineco is exploding!]

Watch out!

[goingsouth]

Zap...!

[Jeff sees the Pineco right before the explosion, reaching for his Pokemon courageously even as Armin tries to pull him away. The Elekid still manages to catch the brunt of it still though. Jeff moves to wipe dust from his glasses, his face and hands stinging but otherwise fine...]

What was that?!

[tinytactician]

[Armin has dust all over himself and his hair is sticking out everywhere, but he looks absolutely delighted, rolling to his stomach and wiggling forward, heedless of Meredith's indignant peeping.]

I'm not sure! But it's still there -- the explosion didn't hurt it at all.

[Pissed it off, maybe -- the Pineco is very still, glaring at Zap intently.]

[goingsouth]

W-well, if it caused it... it probably wants to be left alone, right?

[Zap isn't gonna leave it alone, though. He's angry now too, wiping the soot off his furry face. Then he charges up a Thundershock.]

Z-Zap, wait a moment!

[It's too late, of course.]

[tinytactician]

[Pineco is hella pissed by this, and in case anyone thought that it was too tuckered out to explode -- well. Think again.

Armin yelps and ducks for cover, then elbows Jeff a little harder than necessary.] Stop him!
