Ezra looked on as Alix retreated to another part of the thick. "Huh. She seems pretty focused..." He mentioned with a shrug. But it looked to be for a good reason. As the ranger mentioned, this part of the forest was positively teeming with wildlife. Most were off to their own devices, bouncing through the trees or skittering past Ezra's feet. There were some, however, quite aware of the tall human inhabiting their space, with a little water-type who was pretty out of place. Eager to get the drop on the oblivious trainer, a Pokémon resembling a massive acorn dropped from its perch in the trees, easily startling him and Brie. 

[color=lightblue]"OH SHA!"[/color][i]"Holy geez!"[/i] The Oshawott exclaimed, reflexively reaching for her scalchop as she stumbled backwards. Ezra on the other hand, was more curious than anything. "Heyyy, you're a Seedot..." He mused, kneeling down to get a closer look. Naturally, the Seedot replied by throwing itself into the boy's chest, knocking him on his butt. [color=#DABF47]"Dottototodot!"[/color][i]"You look pretty strong! Let's fight!"[/i] The acorn replied, confident in his abilities. Ezra was quick to his feet, giving a glance towards Brie. Brie, in turn, immediately shook her head. She knew she was at a disadvantage here. "Yeah, you're right." He replied.

Then, the little Seedot charged at Ezra again. Brie Looked for protection behind one of Ezra's legs. "Hold on, short stuff." What tension gained from such a rush, was comically ended as Ezra put his foot up and ended the overactive acorn's assault. [color=#DABF47]"Seedottotototodotto!"[/color][i]"C'mon man, fight me! Fight fight fight!"[/i] It squealed, kicking up dust as Ezra's foot kept it running in place. "I have a better idea." The Seeedot suddenly seemed intrigued. "I'm taking on the league challenge, and i'll be going to Mystriver soon. Wanna come with me? I promise you'll get all the fighting you can handle." Ezra gave the Seedot a promising offer, one it didn't really want to turn down. [color=#DABF47]"Seedot?"[/color][i]"Really? You promise?"[/i] Ezra grinned and kneeled back down. "Sure! I even got one of these for ya." As he talked, he brandished a pokeball. 

"Just touch your face to the button right there, and it's all yours." The Seedot was eager to comply, and immediately a red beam engulfed it. Ezra gave a silent three count before the capture device clicked. "Welcome to the team, buddy." He stood up straight, accomplished in catching a new teammate. "Guess I gotta give you a name at some point, huh?" He brought out his Pokédex, continuing through the brush as he looked up the new entry.
