time: evening weather: n/a (caves) participants: Mya "Rainbow" Saller , wild Pokemon battles: none!It had been quite a hike all the way out here, but a certain little birdy told Mya that there just miiiight be Dragon Pokemon in the so-called "Hidden Lair." Not that hidden, was it, if it was marked right on the map? But Mya discovered that finding the Lair on a map and actually locating it in the real world were two different things -- and the former was much easier. By the time she made her way into the cave system proper, the sun was setting outside, though that made little impact on the shadows in here. Hope you brought a flashlight, Mya!

"They didn't know why these things were funny. Sometimes you laugh because you've got no more room for crying. Sometimes you laugh because table manners on a beach are funny. And sometimes you laugh because you're alive, when you really shouldn't be." -Terry Pratchett This, the Song of Sons and Daughters
It was weird. She knew, logically, that she was indoors, but this place really made it feel like she was outside, in the wild. Even the hike had her a bit winded. She had gone through the forest, cut through the beach, then wandered around this side of the mountain range until nearly falling into the "lair".
Well, at least she was here. She sighed and rolled her shoulders, feeling the ever present Wormy wrap around her legs. The dratini had been interested in coming along. Alone. She had her other pokemon on her, of course, tucked in their pokeballs, but Mya knew the rules. Besides, she and Wormy needed some bonding time.
"Well, Worm, let's check this place out, hm?" She said, entering the cave and turning on her flashlight. "I'm curious if that rumor was right. Plus, it'll be nice to explore without getting burns again."
Wormy looked ashamed for a moment before shaking it off. She slithered after her, looking around. This place smelled funny. Strong, United, Working Til' We Fall

As Mya made her way into the lair, she passed a pile of sand on the floor of the cave -- a pile of sand that opened its eyes and blinked at her. Shaking off the sand that concealed it, the Sandile approached Mya slowly. Did this strange human form perhaps bring food for it? Or an interesting battle partner? Sandile always liked to see what new adventures the day would hold, and this seemed like an opportunity for fun if it had ever seen one. It tilted its head, sitting in front of Mya. "Dile!"

Action: Mya Offers the pokemon a treat!
Items: 0/3
Mya was not one to show a lot of emotion or expression... in public. She had a reputation to uphold! But in private, such as this cave, with only nature and Wormy to judge her, she clenched her jaw and nearly let out a squeak.
"Oh my Rayquaza, you are so adorable..." she said in a high pitched voice that made Wormy do a double take. He had never heard such a sound come from his trainer's mouth, much less this... reaction. He huffed. He was cuter...
Mya knelt down and reached into her bag, taking out a small bag of treats she had bought at the front desk. She had gotten them in case Wormy got hungry, but how could she not share?
"Hey, little guy, here you go," she said, putting some treats on the ground and taking a few scoots back. "All yours!" she said as she held Wormy back from eating the treats. He huffed in disappointment. Ugh. Why did it have to be a cute... whatever this thing was? The lack of attention on him was bothering him.Strong, United, Working Til' We Fall

The Pokemon gave Mya a wide Sandile smile as it gobbled up the treats. Why yes, it was cute! It knew that very well, and felt glad that the human could see it. It didn't mind taking advantage of its cuteness to ingratiate itself, either. Wormy's jealousy only amused the Sandile. Bobbing its head even more cutely, it let out a sweet little "Dii," looking at Mya with big, adorable eyes. Maybe she had some more treats? Or she might even pet the Sandile ... Out here in the almost-wild, Sandile would take any attention it could get -- other Pokemon were not nearly as impressed by its adorable appearance.

Action: Mya pets the Sandile!
Items: 0/3
She let out another squeal at the adorable head bob, unaware that she had made Wormy turn away in pure rage. Hmph! It wasn't that cute, he thought to himself, bitterly.
But Mya had to disagree. "You are so cute! I can hardly believe it!" she reached a hand out, slowly, trying to let the Sandile know that she was not trying to harm them, before giving the Sandile a very gentle scritch on the head. "And so well behaved! I'm surprised no one has decided to scoop you up and spoil you!"
Ah, yes, like she spoiled Fuji. That little mouse was just too adorable! Much to Wormy's chagrin. The Dratini liked all eyes on him, but that was one reason Mya wanted to bring him along, to show him that he couldn't always be the center of attention.Strong, United, Working Til' We Fall

The Sandile let Mya scritch its head -- not only allowing itself to be scritched, but even leaning into the contact a little. Ah, that was nice. Mya hadn't found its favorite spots to be petted yet, but she was still doing a good job. Sandile would give her a B+ -- the plus mostly because of her enthusiasm. Let's see, how could Sandile make the most of this interaction? Well, it might actually be amenable to a little scooping up and spoiling, actually. But for now it decided to offer Mya an exclusive chance: it rolled over onto its back, showing Mya its belly so she could give it some good scritches there.

Action: Mya scratches the Sandile's belly! (And will attempt a capture on the next turn)
Items: 0/3
Mya took the invitation and gave the pokemon's belly a good scritch or two, talking with praise and adoration for just how cute this pokemon was! Wormy huffed and coiled himself into a tight ball in an attempt to distract himself from the fact he was leagues cuter than this weird lizard. She wasn't even blue! Or a dragon! Just a weird crocodile! It was an insult to Wormy, if anything.
Mya, however, was more than pleased to try and give this sandile all the attention and to really say just how cute this pokemon was!Strong, United, Working Til' We Fall

Sandile wiggled in the dirt as Mya scratched its belly, absolutely delighted with the attention. Yes ... come on ... a little to the right ... yes! Right there! Mya had found the absolute best place to scratch Sandile, a place that it could never reach on its own. Beneath Mya's hands, Sandile melted, perfectly content. It could stay like this for hours, as long as Mya kept scratching. Catching Wormy McWormington's eye, the Sandile gave him a cheeky wink. Come on, man, you had to learn to share. Especially if you found a human who could give amazing belly scratches like these. Lighten up! Relax and enjoy life a little! Being so tightly wound couldn't be good for the little dragon-snake.

Alright, she just had to try and catch this adorable little thing! Mya took one of those weird safari balls out of her bag all while scratching the Sandile's belly.
"Now, this is gonna seem weird but... if you wanna travel with us you are more than welcome. You just tap this ball and then you'll be my pokemon and I'll be your trainer. But the choice is yours! If you don't want to come with us, I understand. I can come visit and give you belly rubs when I have time, but if you come with us, you can have them whenever you want!"
Mya smiled and put the ball next to the sandile and leaned back, no longer scratching the sandile's belly. It was in the lizard's hands now...
Wormy watched with a bit of a curious look. On one hand, he understood he was being a bit... snobby. But Mya was his human! Well, if the sandile accepted Mya's offer then Wormy would just have to get along with it. Like he had to do with that stupid dirt eating, green-shelled abomination.Strong, United, Working Til' We Fall

The Sandile stopped to consider Mya's offer, but only briefly. Sure, more belly rubs sounded nice, but she was perfectly happy where she was; she had no desire to leave the lair and travel the world. After all, she had friends and family here -- she'd miss them if she were to suddenly leave. As nice as Mya seemed, Sandile just wasn't willing to upend her life like that. Having had her fill of belly rubs and affection for the moment, Sandile rolled back over with a friendly "Dile!" as a farewell and trundled off into the caves. She'd had a nice time today, and even if she had decided not to go with Mya, she wished the human all the best.

Items: 0/3
Mya waved. "Have a good one!" She then stood up and beat the dust and dirt off of her pants. She was a little disappointed, but she understood. It could be hard to leave home. Maybe one day they will meet again. Until then, there was more cave to explore. "Come on, Wormy, let's keep moving, hm?"
The dratini was more than happy to keep following Mya. He wouldn't lie, he was overjoyed that the sandile denied the offer to travel with them, it meant he didn't have to share Mya anymore than he was already forced to. Eon was one thing. Wormy knew he couldn't take that ticking time bomb, so he could put up with Eon, but the rest of them were on thin ice.
Still, he knew why they were hear. Mya had heard rumors of dragons and she wouldn't stop she had one of each and every dragon type. It was an obsession, Wormy was sure. He didn't really understand her plans of breeding them for others. It was ridiculous, as if just anyone could handle a dragon pokemon, but Mya seemed to believe so.
Oh well, he slithered beside her, enjoying the company.Strong, United, Working Til' We Fall

As Wormy slithered beside Mya, he happened to look into a pool of water and find a particularly sharp and real reflection looking back at him. As he contemplated it, though, the reflection blinked at him, and then rose out of the water with a gentle "Tii?"Another Dratini had found Mya and Wormy! It sat in the shallows of the pool, head raised, looking directly at Wormy -- clearly more curious than aggressive. In fact, it wanted to know who he was: it knew all the other Dratini in the area, but it had never seen him before.

Mya had raised an eyebrow at the.... second Wormy? Wormy himself was just as curiously, slithering up closer and coiling himself. He tilted his head and answered the question that he was from the volcanic region. He once controlled a whole pool of boiling hot water before he had decided to protect this weak, pathetic human.
It was a good thing Mya couldn't understand him or she'd show him who was weak and pathetic. She instead watched, deciding it was best to let Wormy have a chat with a potential new friend. She took some treats out of her bag and placed one down for the new dratini and one for Wormy. There, that could give them something to snack on while they talked. Mya would just sit here and watch.
Maybe a second dratini wouldn't be a bad thing... the dex said this one was a female, so maybe she could help kick start a breeding initiative? If she wanted to, of course. Mya had to see if this dratini liked Wormy first. And if Wormy was interested.Strong, United, Working Til' We Fall

Oh? Someone from the volcanic region, who had once lorded over his own pool of boiling hot water? That was ... not impressive at all, at least not to this Dratini. No, she took offense to the pride Wormy expressed in his own origins. Who was this stranger, to think he was better than her and her kin simply because he came from far away? From "his own pool" -- ha! They had dozens of pools down in the depths, plenty for each of them, and he thought he was hot stuff because he had one. The Dratini ignored Mya's treat: she would not accept charity from this arrogant worm or his companion. She could feed herself, thank you very much.
