Salve Island was famed for many reasons. First, no one was ever allowed on it (except for this rare time, apparently). Second, it was surrounded by the worst weather. Not even flying pokemon could master the horrible storms, and fish were hardly seen in the seas. Even here, in the middle of the day, the waves were towering over the ship as the storm outside raged on. Thankfully, the ship managed to dock at the rotting wooden dock that was hardly standing. The rules of the visit were clearly laid out in the letter: Everyone had three hours and would visit the island once at a time. Once the boat sounds its fog horn, it is time to leave. Failure to do so will result in forced departure. Capturing and battling pokemon were encouraged, but one should approach this place with a sense of respect for the creatures that lived there. Likewise, Salve Co. would provide five luxury balls for the visit. The rules were simple and the invite... odd. Seemed not everyone was allowed on the island. Either way, it was important to take the chance. After all, after the mysterious explosion, who knew what someone would find out here! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

Katrina had already wasted the first hour of her island expedition doing absolutely nothing. After stumbling off of the boat and down the dock, she had barely managing to take a few steps onto the black sanded beach before plopping down. She had remained there ever since, staring out at the the endless ocean. Who knew what Pokemon were drifting out there in the water. Who knew what dangers were lurking around here on the island. Katrina slipped her hands in the pocket of her hoodie and gave the pokeball that sat inside a gentle squeeze. A huge monster of a pokemon could jump out at her at any time, but it was too early to release Gee. She could only imagine the bird flying headfirst into the sea, only to never to be seen again. Just be calm. She told herself with an exasperated sigh. Use this time to relax. Katrina brought her knees up to her chest, letting the patter of rain and occasional boom of thunder clear her mind. If she squinted hard enough, she swore she could see the god of storms, Thundurus, zipping around up in the cloudy sky, a huge smirk on it's face.

Day || Storm The flashes of lightning and growls of thunder weren't a bother to one pokemon that was also standing on the beach, staring at the sea. Although, maybe it didn't seem like a pokemon at first until it eventually moved to pick up a shell and inspect it. The strange automaton turned their head to the human being that had graced this island. They were just... sitting there. In the rain. The golett wandered off to the forest and pulled a large palm leaf off one of the very few palm trees on the island, before walking over and holding it over the human so try and keep them from getting too soaked to the bone. The golett knew how to serve. It was why it was originally created hundreds of years ago, but its creators, and the trainers that came after, were long gone. It had been here in this place since it woke up after the flash of light and, while it didn't really like humans after what it had lived through here, it still had that urge to protect, to serve. To be of use. The pokemon was silent, eyes glowing a dull light in the storm as it once more seemed to turn to stone, holding the palm frond dutifully. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

She continued to sit there, always keeping the ferry boat in her view. She should have known that coming here was a bad idea. An abandoned island, cut off from civilization, that you had to sign a waiver before visiting. So fun.
Katrina shifted as she noticed a shadow cover her, blocking the few rays of sunlight that managed to break through the clouds. A quick sideglance revealed a stout, humanoid statue standing beside her.
"Are you a Pokemon?" she asked the statue, knowing all too well that it was. Of course it was. But what kind? A rock type, probably. It was made of stone, after all. And had it really been hanging around this beach all this time without her noticing? Maybe it just teleported here. So it could have been a psychic or a ghost-type. And what about the palm frond it was holding over her? Was this some sort of grass-type attack or...
"Are you just trying to keep me dry?" The tone of her voice hinted of surprise. Not waiting for any kind of an answer, Katrina brushed the palm frond out of the way and rose to her feet. "Guessin' you're from here. Would you...give me a quick tour of the island?"

Day || Storm The golett thought about the question as the human stood up. A tour... the pokemon looked towards the trees of the forest, knowing what horrors lied deeper in that island. The things that could easily kill a human but, thankfully, still seemed somewhat skittish or uninterested in them. After several moments of deep thought, the pokemon used the end of the frond to draw an image in the dirt. A pretty spot on replica of the island's coastline. It then began to draw something that seemed to represent the woods, and then a building in the center. The golett completed the drawing with an X and a wiggly line going to the center of the island. Satisfied with the work as its body protected it from the rain, the golett leaned back and covered it with the leaf, giving enough room for the map to be seen. It was a clear indicator of their location, and where the path deeper in lead. The golett waited a few moments for the map to be studied, should the desire strike so, before starting to walk towards the woods, stopping, and pointing towards the trail hidden partially by fronds and bushes. That was the best he could do without going deeper in, which they were not going to be doing. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

As the statue drew in the damp sand. using the frond as a writing utensil, Katrina stood there and continued to fidget with Gee's pokeball. This Pokemon was strange, with a humanoid figure and a large yellow swirl adorning it's center. Not like anything she's ever seen before. And, even if her gut was screeching that this was just some ghost possessed rock that would only lead her deep into the forest to meet her eventual demise, her brain was yelling that it was an obviously friendly Pokemon that could be trusted.
Katrina hadn't expected to be given a treasure map, complete with an 'x marks the spot'. The path leading to the x seemed fairly straight forward and easy to follow. And the longer she stared at it, the more her curiosity grew.
After a quick glance at the boat, which was still in the same place it had been for the last hour, she took a look at the Pokemon, who had moved to the forest's edge. Once she caught up to it she pulled out one of the special pokeballs that she'd been given for the journey. "Mind comin' into the forest with me? You could just ride around in this while I go check things out.
"Don't have to if you don't want to. But it'd be nice having some help beside me in case I get lost or something."

Day || Storm An interesting proposition. The golett looked back into the dark trees, feeling a sense that it didn't want to go back. To return to that awful place it was now free of. But this human wasn't involved in that. This human was innocent. The one that came here, before the explosion, had promised they'd find nice trainers. Kind humans to show them the world has good people, worthy of pokemon, in them. Maybe this was one of those humans? The golett reached out, past the pokeball, and very gently put a cold, stone hand on the human's arm. Then it gave a firm nod before reaching out with the other hand and tapping the center button on the luxury ball. The golett vanished inside in a red flash. The ball didn't even rock, clicking right away in a successful capture. The golett had no wish to see what lied beyond those woods, but it knew it's purpose was to help people. To be there for them and to protect them... here, the human was on her own, but outside of this place the golett would proudly do as it was created hundreds of years ago to do. To protect. To be a companion worthy of a human's care. The trees of the forest shook as a violent wind crested across the island. The storm raged on. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!
Capture successful! (Remember: you can't use freshly caught pokemon in the same thread! They are in a 'rest' period, but as soon as the thread is over you are free to use them! <3) Please add Golett to your tracker!

Katrina could only smile as the sound of the click announced her first successful capture. She then placed the ball in her hoodie pocket, right next to Gee's. Now, with both a obligent statue (Which she still didn't know the species name. Once she got back to the mainland she'd get busy and do some research, but for now she would just call it 'Tay'.) and an energetic bird by her side, Katrina felt confident enough to enter the forest. The timer on her watch showed that she had only an hour and forty five minutes left. Still a fair amount of time to do some exploring, so long as she didn't lag around too much.
Adjusting the small sling that held her supplies, she set off at a brisk pace, her mind set on finding the treasure that was hidden on this island. Even as the palms swayed in the harsh wind and the rain pounded down on her, Katrina kept on going.

Day || Storm The harsh storm and flashes of lighting only illuminated the destruction of the forest. Deeper in, the fronds of palms turned into larger trees, some of which had been shattered and struck with heavy pieces of metal that looked as if they were slung from something deeper into the island. Other trees were scorched from hell and back, as if a massive fire had spread through the forest from its heart. It was not a pretty sight, but the pokemon that lived here made do. One watched the human cautiously from the trees, slowly making his way through the branches and down as he slunk behind a piece of metal and took a form more fitting for the situation. The trubbish walked out onto the trail, looking at the human curiously. Perhaps they had some food on them? Or something at all for this rainy day? It would be nice to have something to nibble on after all. The pokemon stood there in the path, staring at the human with large eyes. Wondering what they would do. A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

As she walked along she couldn't help but notice all of the dead and burnt trees that littered the landscape. And then she crossed paths with a living, breathing trash bag. She certainly recognized that Pokemon. A Trubbish. They were pretty common pests in the more populated towns thanks to the loads of trash that people produced. Gee popped right out as soon as Katrina threw the pokeball to the ground. "Hey, girl. Up for some excercise?" Wings flapping wildly as she was quickly drenched from the pouring rain, it took a while before her attention turned on the walking trash bag. "Feels good, don't it?" Katrina couldn't help but smile as the Cramorant lost focus on the Trubbish and began to dance in the rain, hopping from foot to foot as she kept her head propped up and her beak wide open, accepting every drop of water that fell into her mouth. Gee always did like the rain. Katrina clapped her hands a few times, the sound drowned out by a huge boom of thunder. But instead of trying some other sound creating method to get Gee back on track she just walked up to the bird and picked her up. "We can splash 'round in the puddles later," Katrina announced as she placed her right in front of the Trubbish. "Now's the time for battlin. "Gee, use peck on that Pokemon there." This should be an easy win. Well, hopefully. (Cramorant uses peck on the Trubbish) Cramorant // Level 1 // Female Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 14 | 17 | 15 | 17 |

Day || Storm The peck landed true, causing the trashbag pokemon to become shrouded in a cloud of smoke that soon dissipated to reveal a small black and red fox pokemon who was equally betrayed by yet another human as it did angry and scared. Humans were all the same, it seemed. There was a shred of hope left once he was set free from that awful cage, but it seemed most humans always wanted the same thing. Always trying to either test the limits of his illusions or forcing him into battle, wanting to see how far the copies could possibly go, even if they already knew the answer. Never satisfied! Always pushing! Always causing harm! The fox's fur bristled as he lashed out with sharp claws at the bird, burying them deep enough to hit flesh and cut out some of the soft down. If it was a battle they wanted, then a battle they would receive! En garde! A Wild Pokemon Appeared!

"Arceus dammit!" Katrina couldn't help but yell out as the Trubbish transformed into another Pokemon. Now she had heard of a certain Pokemon that could take the shape of different species. A pink blob called Ditto. Or Dittany. Something like that. But she knew nothing about a little canid that could change forms. Gee also let out a loud squawk, just as surprised as her trainer. "Let's cool down. The new guy ain't too tough looking." Angry, but not intimidating. Just as she said that the fox took a swipe at Gee, sharp claws digging into her feathers. Katrina winced as her Pokemon let out another loud and surprised squawk. Poor thing. Taking a deep and calming breath, Katrina backed up a few steps to give them plenty of room to continue their fight. "Alright, Gee. Try another peck." The need to get revenge taking over the Cramorant, she took another go at the fox, aiming straight for the forehead.

Day || Storm The bird had responded with another firm peck to the head. The little fox let out a pained cry, but he shook himself off as he launched upwards, going after the retreating head of the bird to bury his claws into its face, clinging on until he was sure deep marks had been left in the flesh and along the beak itself. He launched himself away with a swift--non-harmful--kick off of the bird and landed a bit away. The zorua knew how battles worked, and it was until one of them knew they couldn't go on any farther! Which, all things considered, he knew that he himself would have to bow out soon, but he would be sure to leave at least some sort of mark in the process!
That was the way of the wild between pokemon that were not predator and prey after all. Battles like this were for territory, but the zorua knew that the human and her devil bird would not be here for long.
No humans were allowed here for long anymore. Thus, the island became akin to paradise.

When the lab aid was listing all of Gee's skills, she mentioned something about a move that required it's user to have a full stomach in order for it work at it's finest. Maybe it was a belly flop that was strengthened by the extra weight an overstuffed stomach gave the attack's user. The only problem is that Gee hadn't eaten since they set sail for the island. Katrina started thinking about what all her Cramorant had eaten today: Most of the orange, peel and all, that Katrina had been eating with her breakfast. A crumbled up paper bag full of who knows what back at the port town. A bean burrito. What else? And what was that funky move even called? Katrina dug through her brain with all the speed of a Drilbur, not taking long to find the info she was looking for. Judging by the name alone, it sure didn't sound pleasant, but now was as good a time as any to test it out. "Gee, use belch." Gee rose a few feet above the ground, wings flapping rapidly. Hovering above the Zorua, she opened her mouth wide and let out a loud burp. Strangely, as she did this, faint purple rings of energy left her mouth. Unstrangely, so did the terrible smell of bad breath. (Gee uses belch on the Zorua) Cramorant // Level 1 // Female Max HP | Attack | Defense | Speed | 8 | 17 | 15 | 17 |

Day || Storm
The sensitive nose of the fox-like pokemon had keyed it into the attack and he expertly dodged out of the way of the blast! Although "expertly" could be taken a different way than what he considered it to be. He dodged the attack, sure! But he also ended up face first into some mud, dirtying his black coat. Ugh!! The zorua shook himself off, feeling both embarrassed and enraged. He darted forward once the belching bird had finished and laid in a firm Scratch on the feathers, reaching deep enough into the skin! This was not over yet! He wasn't going to back down that easily, mud on the face or not! The fox darted backwards and let out a deep growl, fur spiking up despite the muddy coating. No giving up! No giving in! This was a battle of the wills! Yes, he was very hurt and yes, one good hit could probably due him in, but he was here for the long haul! Even in failure one could become stronger and he was fairly certain he was faster than this human and the bird combined, especially in the thick underbrush of the overgrown island.
