The storm-battered ship set dock and lowered its bridge to the rotting wooden dock that jutted out from beach's shore. The ocean's waves were slamming against the ship's hull, rocking it even as it fought to stay still near the dock, the small crew working hard to get the ship tied off properly. It was harder work in the dark, but the ship's powerful flood lights were doing their job. The deal with Salve Co. is simple for this visit to their island: you have three hours to explore the island till your heart's content and after three hours, the ship will take you back to the mainland. You can capture any pokemon you find. But you have to use the provided Luxury balls. Why is the mysterious island now open? After all, the last thing that happened here was the massive explosion and since it has been abandoned... well. No matter! It's time to get started! It's time to explore the elusive and mysterious Salve Island! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- As Rebecca steps down from the ship, shivering a little, Mimida swoops overhead, on the lookout for danger. There shouldn't be danger -- surely, Rebecca thinks, if this were dangerous, Salve Co. wouldn't let anyone come. They'd get in trouble if someone got hurt on their watch. Right? But Mimida is a cautious soul. She doesn't like being here in the dark, either, even if Rebecca picked the night trip because she thought it would be less crowded. Now, staring out into the stormy night, Rebecca wished she'd come during the day. Maybe she would have had to put up with more jostling on the ship, but at least she'd be able to see where she was going. Pulling out a flashlight and putting her windbreaker's hood up, Rebecca starts off down the beach. With no danger immediately spotted, Mimida lands on Rebecca's shoulder and tries to take shelter in her hood, though she's really too big for that. -- OOC:// Team: Mimida, level 5 Pidgey; Galla, level 10 Torchic Pidgey // Level 5 // Female Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 14

For most, the nightly storms may be a danger or a risk. But to the pokemon of the island, they offer a sense of comfort. The darkness is a safe haven from the prying eyes of those that have tried to reach the island by pokemon--be it in the sky or the air--but the weather is far too violent even for the best of birds and the strongest of fish. Maybe that was why he was out here. Yes, he has seen the ship coming, but ships often meant people that would be no trouble. After all, a few people used to visit once in a while... now it's been lonely and quiet. Not that he minded the quiet. The light from the flashlight shined on the Abra for a split second before he vanished and reappeared a few feet away, dodging the beams of the light. Aaabra... He watched this human and her bird curiously. They were bundled away from this wonderful, soothing rain! How strange... Maybe... The Abra looked up and waved a hand, a psychic force causing the rain around the pair to vanish as a miniature sun shined down on the beach. It didn't alter the true time of day or weather, but it was a respite for the pair... A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- The rain stops; it takes Rebecca a moment to connect this with the psychic Pokemon she glimpsed in her flashlight's beam. Then, realizing, she breaks into a broad smile. "Hello! Did you stop the rain for us? Thank you! But you're still getting wet ..."Does the Abra not mind the rain, or is it sacrificing its own comfort to help strangers? Rebecca tends to assume the latter, so she pulls a Luxury Ball out of her bag and sets it down, then retreats a little -- she has an inkling that Abras are usually shy. "If you'd like to get out of the rain, you could come with us," Rebecca tells the Abra. "It's up to you -- it would be an adventure, but if you're comfortable here, it might not be your thing."Honestly, since the Abra isn't a bird, she doesn't really see herself bonding with it ... but if it wants to leave the island, maybe she should offer it the chance? "I work mostly with birds, but I could try to find you another trainer, if it's something you want."

Night || Storm The abra nodded in confirmation. Yes, he had made the rain stop... at least for a little while. The abra had learned long ago that humans are rather fragile things, but not weak in the sense many would assume. Yet even then, they weren't water types and probably did not like getting soaked to the bone. The human's words were interesting. Yes, he was not a bird, but the potential of putting his fate into this person's hands, to find him a trainer that would take him on? Would he like them? Would he want to go? It was a difficult decision for sure. And one that took several long minutes of deliberative floating in place, starting at the luxury ball with a powerful intent. After about ten minutes, the Abra lifts a hand and the luxury ball floats upwards and towards him. He tapped the ball and vanished inside, the black orb landing on the moist sand and giving a roll... then another... and a final third... Click! The abra would trust this human. Besides, he would like to get off of this island... the things that lived deeper in were... horrifying. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Blissfully unaware of the Abra's concerns about things deeper in the island, Rebecca grins at her success, picking up the Luxury Ball and putting it in her pocket. "Thank you for trusting me. We'll find you a great trainer, I'm sure."Then she continues, deeper into the island. This unfortunately means leaving the shelter of the Abra's Sunny Day, but hey, adventure requires sacrifices sometimes. And Rebecca is bundled up enough that the rain isn't too bad. Mimida is less bundled up, unfortunately ... Maybe Rebecca should look into a tiny bird windbreaker for her.

Night || Storm The woods were silent save for the rare sound of a pokemon or falling branches. Even in the rain, it had an eerie feeling. If one looked close enough, they could trail the path of destruction from the island's explosion that had raced through even the woods. Debris from the old building strews across the ground, some heavier pieces having collapsed trees. The rain makes a metallic echo as it lands on these pieces, adding to the strange ambiance of the woods. And even stranger was a little creature floating around in the rain, looking like they themselves were a tiny rain drop falling from a cloud only... upside down. The castform bounded along in the rain, swirling as they passed, seemingly unaware of the human approaching... Yet the castform seemed to freeze for a moment before it spins around in a start, staring far past the human and her companion towards the sky... Should someone look up quickly maybe the could see something art through the air with deadly speed. A flash of purple. The castform shrinks back to the trees. Caaastform... They say nervously, glancing at the human and her companion. Why were they out here? This place was not safe for people since the explosion! But the castform had other things to worry about. Like the things powerful enough to patrol the stormy skies that send most birds tumbling, crashing to the ground. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- "Oh, what are you?" Rebecca said, fascinated by the sight of the Castform. Her years of Pokedex study had focused primarily on birds, so she didn't recognize the little weather ball. Distracted by the sight of it, she completely missed anything going on in the sky above her too -- but Mimida didn't. "Idge," the Pidgey commented, shuffling her feet on Rebecca's shoulder. She was uncomfortable, but not about to bow out now -- surely she could handle any trouble that came their way. Surely. But maybe Rebecca couldn't ... Contemplating the Castform, Rebecca came to a decision: she'd offer it the same chance she'd given the Abra. After all, it had worked out that time. She set a Luxury Ball down on the ground, then stepped back from it. "I'm inviting you to come with us," she explained to the Castform. "It's your choice, but if you want an adventure ... Like I told the last Pokemon, I mostly work with birds, but I can help you find a trainer."

Night || Storm The castform did not need to consider the offer to much. After all, this place was crawling with predators and if this small orb offered any sort of protection he was going to take it in a heartbeat. Anything to get out of this place! While he had been fine so far, that did not mean that it would last. He darted for the black orb and quickly tapped it, vanishing inside and it instantly clicked. The woods soon grew more quiet as the ground shook slightly. Something was moving within it... but the vibrations seemed to be getting farther and farther away... Inside the luxury ball, the Castform breathed a sigh of relief. Those horrible monsters that called this island home couldn't hurt him in here. He was safe. He was safe. He was safe. He had to be... at least, now he just hoped the human could get out of this place in one piece. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Rebecca blinked at the settled ball for a moment, surprised that such a simple appeal had convinced the Castform to uproot its life and accompany her. It was almost like these Pokemon really wanted to get off this island ... No, that was silly. What could possibly cause such a reaction? She picked up the Luxury Ball and tucked it away, telling Mimida, "We'll head back to the ship soon. I just want to go a little farther ..."

Night || Storm The storm continued to grow more frenzied, but it certainly wasn't any bother to a certain pokemon grazing on the wet grass in the woods. Even from a distance they gave a soft glow, which may prove a danger given there were predators in the forest. But this pokemon had very little concern. He was as fast as the lightning and knew these woods like the back of his hoof! Maybe that was why the Galarian ponyta just looked up at the human and her bird as they approached. His natural glow was enough to light up the dark woods as if he was a natural light, too, showing his full colorful glory. Yet that didn't stop him from taking a defensive stance, legs ready to spring into action in either a kick or a solid run to escape should this biped and her bird cause him any problems. He narrowed his eyes at them, giving a defiant snort in their direction. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Rebecca stops just outside the Galarian Ponyta's circle of light, staring wide-eyed at the Pokemon. Oh, he's pretty. Not as pretty as, say, Chatot or Oricorio, but pretty nonetheless. And she actually knows what he is this time -- every kid from Summerhill knows about the Ponytas who once supported its proud ranching economy. "My mother would love you," Rebecca murmurs, almost speaking more to herself than to the Ponyta. She hesitates, then figures why not? and pulls out a Luxury Ball, setting it on the ground before retreating a bit. "If you'd like to meet her, you're welcome to come with us. We can find you a good trainer, too. But if you're happy here, I understand."

Night || Storm Oh? Someone that would love him? Well... he WAS rather great, wasn't he? And besides, this island was wonderful and all but there was hardly anyone or anything that appreciated his beauty. If this... biped... could find him someone that would admire him as he deserved, then so be it! He walked towards the luxury ball with pose and elegance and tapped it with a hoof. He was zapped in it and it rolled once... twice... three times! It then gave a click. From the darkness of the storm, a low tone sounded. The ship's fog horn. It was time to leave, before the weather took a turn for worse... which seemed hard to believe. The rest of the mysteries on this island would have to wait... A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Rebecca & - Mimida--- Wow. Again, Rebecca is kind of surprised that worked. Tucking the Ponyta's Luxury Ball safely into her pocket, she smiles at Mimida. "It looks like we have lots of new friends to bring home with us.""Idge," Mimida says, not exactly enthusiastic about having to share her space or Rebecca's attention with more Pokemon. A gust of wind drives rain into Rebecca's face, and she shivers. "Well, I think that's about all of this I can take. And Dad did always say to quit while you're ahead. Let's go back to the ship.""Ee!" Mimida agreed vehemently. She would love to get out of this weather. It's way too windy to fly, so she remains on Rebecca's shoulder as the trainer trudges through the rain back to the ship that brought them to Salve Island. ||FINISHED|| [googlefont=Martel][googlefont=Cookie]
