Even amongst the humid heat and the warmth of the jungle, Arris felt cooler than ever. Excited even, at the challenges that came with navigating the thick plant-life! This felt like a real life adventure the further they went in... nothing like camping trips with Grandpa into Broadmarsh. And this wasn't like the ominous feeling that came with Gladegloom. "Arceus, I think this is one of the most amazing things I've ever done in my life," he grinned. "I'm so glad we've come here."
It was alive and so so so neat! Pepper was bounding from branch to branch, chattering cheerfully at Arris and Belle as they went along. It was easy for the Pikachu to navigate - and Belle didn't have to particularly care, as she was being carried, and therefore getting around sneaky vines and roots was not her problem. They all seemed to notice the Chikorita at roughly the same time.
Arris seemed to almost start buzzing with excitement; enough so that Belle shifted as if she wanted to jump out of his arms afterall. He grinned over at Pepper and found the Pikachu looking back, holding out his scarf and sunglasses expectantly. "You know what's up. Let's go give our new potential friend a big hello yeah?"
As Arris took the accessories, Pepper bounded into the path and the sun with a little chirp of greeting, approaching the Chikorita with vim, vigor, and a shockingly cheerful nuzzle of greeting!

Hey! That hurt! The Chikorita reared back as Pepper's "friendly" Nuzzle sent sparks around it and zapped it pretty badly. Not that badly, since plants didn't conduct electricity very well, but probably a little worse than Pepper intended ... and definitely not friendly, from the Chikorita's point of view. "Reet!" it snapped, jumping up and back -- giving itself space to send some razor-sharp leaves flying at Pepper. Fair payback for that little zap, the Chikorita figured ... OK, maybe a little overkill, but still! You couldn't just run up to a stranger and electrocute them! Hadn't this Pikachu ever heard of personal space? Or manners?
OOC: Pepper's Nuzzle crits for 2 damage, though it is not very effective! Chikorita's HP is now 12, and it is now paralyzed. Chikorita uses Razor Leaf and hits for 4 damage! Pepper's HP is now 7. Chikorita: 12/14 Status: paralyzed Stat changes: none Held item: none You have 3/5 Ultra Balls. You have 0/1 Super Repel. You have 0/1 out-of-battle heal left. This is encounter 2/3. Capture on!

Oop, sorry! Pepper waved his hands in a little panic at the spark of electricity. He hadn’t quite meant to be so zealous about it! But sometimes it happened and couldn’t be helped. Ah well! He cringed at the sharp leaves smacking him about before shaking them off. Yeah, he totally deserved that…
But now that meant it was so on! Battle time all the way. “You good there Pepper?” At the Pikachu’s confirmation, Arris grinned and nodded. He offered a little wave to the Chikorita before focusing on his own teammate. “Alright then, let’s rock it out with Thundershock!”
“Pi-pika!” Pepper nodded. Using the distance between the two for his own advantage as well, he weaved among the leftover leaves to deliver a sparking blast of electricity! Not much more impressive than his static-filled nuzzle, but definitely showing it was time for a battle now!

Oh, seriously? The Pikachu's response to being chided for rudely electrocuting Chikorita was to electrocute it again, but more? "Riit!" the Chikorita scolded. It was just trying to have a nice time photosynthesizing and then these heathens had to show up! Well, now it was on, Chikorita supposed; clearly they weren't going to go away and let it enjoy its rest. And admittedly it hadn't enjoyed a good battle in a while -- it would have happily greeted these travelers if they just hadn't been so rude about it. Well, now they would reap what they'd sown. Chikorita gathered itself and charged Pepper, quickly closing the distance between them with a solid Tackle. Not quite as dangerous as the sharp leaves, perhaps, but Chikorita still had reason to be proud of itself -- and it was.
OOC: Pepper's Thunder Shock is not very effective! It hits for 2 damage, leaving Chikorita with 10 HP. Despite Chikorita's paralysis, it uses Tackle and hits for 3 HP, leaving Pepper with 4 HP! Chikorita remains paralyzed. Chikorita: 10/14 Status: paralyzed Stat changes: none Held item: none You have 3/5 Ultra Balls. You have 0/1 Super Repel. You have 0/1 out-of-battle heal left. This is encounter 2/3. Capture on!

Oof! That tackle sure left a sting. A little less than the leaves, but enough to knock Pepper off his feet and tumbling through the grass. He shook his head with a mildly dazed "Piiika..." as he got back to his feet. Arris' expression sobered at it, brows drawing in a little.
One more hit like that - or a solid attack from it's leaves, and that's it... Time for a change of tack. Arris... usually he attempted to make some kind of remark, or conversation to a Pokemon that he was intending to try to capture. Becoming friends with his Pokemon was important! But tough times called for tough measures.
"Hey, lil buddy! Capture time on, let's be friends, okay? We can hang out and sunbathe and have all sorts of battles. Ball, go!" He nodded to Pepper - hang in there, buddy! - as he tossed the ball towards Chikorita, his fingers mentally crossed for luck!

Oh, now you wanted to be friends, after starting this whole altercation in the first place? That ... sounded pretty good actually. The Ultra Ball was comfy, and Chikorita liked the sound of both battles and sunbathing -- just, you know, not at the same time. Not being ambushed by the latter in the middle of the former. Plus, being paralyzed, it would take sooo much work to leave the Ultra Ball ... Chikorita just was not in the mood to expend that kind of effort right now. Chikorita allowed the ball to click closed and flash its light. This Pikachu and his trainer might need to learn some manners, but Chikorita didn't mind being the one to teach them.

It… worked? It worked! The capture was a success again! Arris fist pumped with an excited grin. Heck yeah! Two amazing Pokemon in one day? Their little family was growing all the more. “Amazing job Pepper! You did fantastic, buddy!” He knelt down before the Pikachu, who shuffled his way over to his trainer. The two shared a high five, Belle waving her leaves excitedly from her spot nestled in Arris’ other arm. Good job, teammate, she seemed to be saying!
“Alright! You’ve done a great job, but you look like that absolutely wore you out, yeah? You take a rest, Peps.” Pepper cooed at his trainer tiredly, completely fine with being recalled to his Pokeball. Belle raised her head - or entire body, rather - to look up at her Trainer with a curious little noise. “You want down, sweetheart?”
Seemed so, for Belle released herself from Arris’ arm to skip off through the lush jungle. Arris kept fairly close behind, guiding her along and making sure they both kept on the path, overgrown or not. He’d heard there were old buildings on the island… maybe they’d make for a good camp, so they could spend a couple days out camping before returning back to the mainland! And of course, maybe meet another Pokemon or two while they were at it!

As Arris continued down the path, he indeed came into view of some old buildings, some kind of cabana or cabin where people had once vacationed in the sun and surf. But before he could reach it -- or get much closer than glimpsing it through the trees -- a Pokemon careened into him as it ran speedily down the path. Though the reckless Doduo was on the small side for its species, under 80 pounds, it still might have enough force to knock Arris down ... Certainly the encounter was enough to knock down the Doduo. One head blinked confusedly at the human (and berry) who had suddenly appeared in its path, but the other let out a growl, alarmed and disturbed -- though the sound was more adorable than intimidating.
OOC: A wild Doduo appears! The wild Doduo's Speed is higher than Belle's, so the wild Duduo moves first. The wild Doduo uses Growl and lowers Belle's attack by 15%, or 2, to 9. Doduo // Level 7 // male Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 11

Ah! And there they are -- just as promised, just as intended. The cabanas, off in the distance of the trees. Arris grins, picking up the pace, his Bounsweet bouncing alongside as he strains to see through the jungle's edge and beyond. "See, Belle? Told you it'd be there! So we can hang out, maybe camp, get to know our new-- WHUMPH?!"
Belle squeaks in alarm as one moment, her trainer is there, and the next, he is tea over kettle on the ground, upended by an equally upended brown blur. She bounces around in alarm, trilling over him as he unsteadily sits up, metaphorical Starly floating around his head. Arris puts a hand over his face for a moment, groaning as he shakes his head, trying to shake off the stars blooming behind his eyes. "Woah.... what happened... -- oh, woah! Hey, a Pokemon!"
The weird two-headed bird seems to have gotten itself together too -- at least a little bit. One head doesn't seem to know what's going on at all, and Arris feels for it. Me too, he thinks. The other head, however, has enough sense to realize that it is not alone; in fact, it is being harangued by a berry of all things.
It growls, and oh Arceus, how adorable. It's trying! Arris struggles to his knees, if not his feet, trying to find his footing and balance while Belle tries to distract the alert head. And while it's still unaware... Arris grins. The few braincells he has may have been knocked out of him with the blow, but he has one left, and that one single braincell says catch that Pokemon!
His fingertips fumble for a ball in his pocket, and when he lands on one, he wastes no time, launching it at the Duduo as quick and carefully as he can. "Belle, back up!" He calls as a last warning, and she bounces backwards as the ultra ball sails past towards the bird.
It's worth a shot, at least! How bad could it be?

It was already stunned from crashing into the human, and it's natural instinct had been to scream at the strange berry thing, and now it was getting hit in the head!? Okay! That's it! Enough is enough! This bird is going to show-
huh
well
wait.... It was actually kinda nice in here? It was cooler than outside, seemed safe. Was cozy, too! Yeah, well, maybe it'll rethink things while taking a little.... short.... nap...
The ball rolled once, twice... success!!

That... worked?
Arceus almighty, it worked! Arris really thought that would only buy him a few seconds to stand up, but definitely not prepare or be ready to actually take on a wild Pokemon after being run over like a freighter train. That bird was intense!
"Well, hopefully we've made a new friend then, eh?" He says to Belle, who has immediately bounded back to his side, shuttling around his feet. He waves the little berry off. She's worried, but the last thing he needs is to knocked over again right this second. "I'm okay, Belle, I'm okay. Fetch me the ball? Let me up, hold on..."
The man takes a good few moments, but he makes it up, eventually. His head is swimming, and he shakes it again, trying to get rid of the stars still yet shining behind his lids. "Thank you," he says as Belle fetches Doduo's pokeball. He pockets it, before sighing, trying to stand up straight. Arris stumbles a step to the side. Sighs again.
"Okay. Maybe not the best idea to keep going. C'mon. The old buildings are right over there. Can setup camp and look over myself, get you guys taken care of... and then maybe it would be the better idea to actually make the trip home for now, yeah?" Belle chirps in response, and Arris nods, slowly starting to walk towards where the buildings are still visible outside the greenery.
"We can always come back and camp later. And besides..." Arris grins, pausing for only a moment. "I think this trip was a great success, anyway!"
|| FINISHED ||
