Posie smiled and gently set the pokeball into her bag, then quickly gave Phantump a piercing glare only to let it go with a deep breath of the Gladegloom's air.
"You honestly are a handful you know that? But still, it felt nice putting my foot down. I'm really sorry for snapping at you though, you didn't deserve that. Come on, lets go home ok?"
She pulled a small aerosol canister and sprayed a light mist over her person. It advertised itself as a repellant which Posie was a small bit skeptical of, but it wouldn't hurt to try now that she's this deep into the forest. In fact, this was deeper than she had ever been even as a child. As Posie slid through the winding trees of the forest, she could see the twinkling of lights all around her in the dark corners of her vision. She had no doubt that at least some of these are the work of ghost or even fairy types...but she still clung onto the fantasy stories about the forest she was told as a child and perhaps there was something beyond pokemon in these haunting woods.
"Belladonna....thats the other name for deadly nightshade and to be honest, I thought it'd be a nice name for you so im not calling you by just a species name. Though you seemed to be awfully wary of it. I want to be sure that you have a name that you want ok?"
The phantump paused in thought and looked behind her into the engulfing dark. Now though, the forest seemed a little less scary. She could feel her connection to the life within the soil, and up into the highest boughs of the canopy. She swiveled back to Posie and had a bright smile. Whatever it was that had scared her, it was in the past now. The tugging from another life had let go a little and, for a moment, the image of a small girl in a pretty pink dress stood in phantump's place as she hurried up to her trainer's side.

As Posie and Phantump continued through the forest, a pair of curious blue eyes peered out at them from behind a log, unseen -- and then changed to red as Posie glanced in their direction. A Phantump rose out from behind the log, looking at Posie and her Phantump with something like worry. "Tump?"
The wild Phantump seemed about to flee; then it changed its mind. These two didn't seem so intimidating. It could afford to stop and engage with them, maybe have a friendly battle. And it started off that battle by giving Posie's Phantump a terrifyingly mean look. "Phan!"
OOC: A wild Zorua appears! Zorua takes the form of a Phantump. Since Zorua's Speed is higher than Phantump's, Zorua acts first, using Leer! It hits, reducing Phantump's Defense by one stage, or 2, to 10. Zorua // Level 4 // male Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 11

| 17 |
Ability: Illusion - When Zorua switches into battle, it takes the form of the Pokemon in the last place of its trainer's party. The effect is aesthetic only, having no actual effect on Zorua's moves or type, and breaks if Zorua is hit by a direct attack. Held item: none Moves: Leer, Scratch, Torment You have 3/5 Great Balls. You have 1/1 out-of-battle heal left. You have 0/1 normal Repel. This is encounter 3/3. Capture on!

"Belle?" Posie cried out at the commotion only to become twice as bewildered at the sight of two phantumps. They chased each other through the tangled glade and almost instantly it became near impossible to keep track of which one was Posie's own. They were identical to each other and Posie's head began to swirl into a migraine.
"O...kay...well then two phantumps would help me tremendously. Belle! Tackle!"
Accepting her name now with confidence, Posie's phantump had a flare of energy spark to life inside of her heart that pushed her to fight assured in her grown faith in her trainer. Belle launched into the other phantump with a child-like mischief!
Phantump used tackle!

Belle's Tackle landed a solid hit on the other Phantump, who tumbled backwards ... and ceased to be a Phantump at all! Its illusion broken, Zorua looked at Belle and Posie with big blue eyes. For a moment, it considered fleeing, but the battle had barely started. This was OK, right? Taking a deep breath, Zorua got to its feet and faced Belle. "Zo! Ra!" It leaned forward, scolding Belle with harsh sounds, taunting her and putting her off balance. Cruel, perhaps, but any home in a storm and any tactics in a battle. With its most intimidating smile, Zorua waited to see what Belle and Posie would do next.
OOC: Belle's Tackle hits for 3 damage, leaving Zorua with 8 HP! The Tackle breaks Zorua's illusion, revealing its true form. The wild Zorua uses Torment and crits hits, leaving Belle afflicted by Torment. She cannot use the same move twice in a row. Reminder: Please include your Pokemon's HP, status, stat changes, and held item in your OOC section, as shown below. Zorua: 8/11 Status: none Stat changes: none Held item: none You have 3/5 Great Balls. You have 1/1 out-of-battle heal left. You have 0/1 normal Repel. This is encounter 3/3. Capture on!

Belle huffed in a tantrum at the trickster's taunts. She stuck her tongue out and was stomping the ground around her in frustration, ignoring Posie altogether and taking a branch in ghostly hand to jab at the wild zorua to satisfy some level of petty vengeance. "Belle! Seriously, whats gotten into you? You'll end up hurting yourself!" Posie's cries of concern were white noise to Belle who couldn't even focus herself to repeat her previous attack, only anger guided the spirit and jabbed the taunting Zorua. Phantump uses Branch Poke

Zorua grinned with triumph as it saw how discombobulated Belle was by its taunting. That grin didn't last, though, as Belle poked it painfully with a branch. Ow! Hey, Torment was supposed to work in Zorua's favor, not make Belle attack harder! It was time to end this battle, Zorua realized; to stop messing around and attack Belle directly. So it lunged at Belle with a solid Tackle -- but solid Belle wasn't, and Zorua jumped right through her, dealing no harm. Recovering on the other side, Zorua stared at Belle with wide eyes. Uh-oh. It might be in trouble, because it had no other way to actually damage Belle.
OOC: Belle's Branch Poke hits for 4 damage, leaving Zorua with 4 HP! Zorua uses Scratch, but it has no effect! Zorua: 4/11 Status: none Stat changes: none Held item: none You have 3/5 Great Balls. You have 1/1 out-of-battle heal left. You have 0/1 normal Repel. This is encounter 3/3. Capture on!

After getting sufficient vengeance on the Zorua, Bell puffed out her chest and made a childish face with her tongue while Posie readied another pokeball. The botanist cleared her mind and , for a moment, let go of the constraints in her mind. The extensive research, the heavy preparation, her mind dissecting every detail faded with the chilled air of the Gladegloom as she threw the pokeball with confidence!
"Good job Belle, you showed that trickster what they get!" Posie joined in the taunting and for the moment she let the pure bliss wash over her. Living in the moment lifted her spirits again.
Posie throws a great ball!

The well-aimed Great Ball hit Zorua lightly, vanishing the Pokemon in a flash of light. Almost immediately, the ball's button flashed to indicate a successful capture. Zorua would much rather stay inside the comfy Great Ball than come out and face a futile battle against Belle -- and maybe if it stuck around, it would be able to find a way to actually attack the ghost Pokemon. Not that it held a grudge or anything, but it didn't like the idea that there were creatures out there it couldn't Tackle. It was unsettling. Congratulations, Posie! Zorua has joined your party.
OOC: Capture successful! Please add Zorua's statblock to a new post in your tracker. (Be sure to copy and paste it twice, once normally and once in [*code] tags.) As this was your third encounter, this wild encounter thread is now over. Please use your next post to wrap up and be sure to include "||FINISHED||" at the end so that it can be archived.

Holding the weight of the newly captured pokemon, Posie felt the gravity of what she held in her soft hands. Living breathing creatures that had vanished for all her life now encapsulated in these pokeballs. Botany was one thing, but trying to understand the workings of grass types? It made Posie's head swirl alongside the exhaustion of the excursion. Belle gently tugged at Posie's lab coat and yawned herself as she looked back to the night sky.
"That late already huh? Well then, That was more than enough adventure for today, and now we have more friends for the rooftop garden!"
Belle twirled happily and sank into Posie's arm as the two ventured out back into the city. The phantump was fast asleep by the time the apartment door swung open, and without hesitation Posie fell onto the bed for a long rest.
