He could have sworn his aim was right on target for that Scatterbug... after a moment of consideration, was that Pokeball throw so far off that it- oh wow it was the thing that landed in Dragon Lake. Wow. Okay, uh, so Skylar looked up at Seabreeze for just a moment. [color=mediumslateblue]"Uh, Sea, if you could go grab that Pokeball that fell in Dragon Lake, I'd be very appreciative."[/color] [color=skyblue]"Gull gull!"[/color] Seabreeze saluted with his wing before he flew off into the waters of Dragon Lake. He'll be back soon, but Skylar had continued moving on. He had JoJo and Mac to watch out for him, anyway. He prepared another Pokeball and hurled it towards the Scatterbugs he saw earlier, snagging one in a bag and smiling at his success. [color=mediumslateblue]"Nice, that's one down. Now to find an Emolga while Sea is still diving..."[/color] Skylar kept up his hunt, still with his Torchic and Ralts in hand. Scatterbug was a great catch, if what Skylar's mom used to tell him was true, but the truth was that Emolga was a critical step in his team composition. As much as he didn't want to sound like Oaken, if he was going to become the best flying type trainer he needed something that could stand up to the challenge. As it stood right now... Smiley could use a small break from the team. Skylar sent his Murkrow back to the PC and added his new Scatterbug to the team. [color=mediumslateblue]"Welcome to the team, Jeebs."[/color] He wasn't sure if that was the best name for the new pal, but for right now it would be this Scatterbug's nickname. Alright, onto the trees to find an Emolga. Somehow it didn't take too long, despite the Pokedex saying it was one of the rarer finds on route 5, but there was one right there. Neat. Paradise was sent out, and after a quick scuffle Skylar was down to throwing his Pokeballs in his efforts, and after 2 Pokeballs, Skylar had his new team member! He was a little worse for wear, but after a quick trip to the center Skylar'd have both the new buddies ride shotgun on his shoulders. As he picked up the last Pokeball from the ground, he settled on yet another name. [color=mediumslateblue]"Welcome aboard, Royal."[/color] Maybe it wouldn't be an ace up his sleeve, but who could say no to a king? Skylar sent back Celebrity in exchange for adding Royal to the team, since she was paralyzed and the other options were a bit less enticing to leave for the time being. She'd be back soon, though, Skylar just knew it. [/hider] ... and immediately, Skylar tossed out Royal and crouched down to be a little more on-level with the Emolga. [color=mediumslateblue]"Hey pal, you feeling okay?"[/color] [color=gold]"Emu?"[/color] Royal looked up at Skylar with an odd expression. Clearly he was a little confused. [color=mediumslateblue]"No no bud, it's okay, we're nice."[/color] Skylar offered a reassuring smile, as did Mac and JoJo still hanging out near Skylar's legs, and Paradise behind Skylar. Speaking of Paradise... [color=mediumslateblue]"Oh no, girl, you're hurt aren't you? Come on back."[/color] Paradise nodded solemnly and returned to her Pokeball for a good rest. The team would need that since Skylar had a few Pokemon worse for wear, so that was his next order of business in the grand scheme. [color=gold]"Emu...?"[/color] Royal was still confused, clearly, but seemed to relax a bit. [color=gold]"Emuem?"[/color] [color=mediumslateblue]"You're not lookin' so good either, buddy."[/color] Skylar offered his hand down to Royal. [color=mediumslateblue]"Let's go get you patched up, maybe a little bit of food?"[/color] The Emolga was apprehensive at first, but stepped over to Skylar's arm and climbed on. Skylar lifted Royal up to his shoulder for the Emolga to climb onto and he watched as Vivia came back with a new pal as well. Good for her! Seems like it'd be a nice addition to her team. [color=mediumslateblue]"Nice job Vivia! Is Bonsly gonna get a nickname or are you gonna fly like a lot of trainers do?"[/color] Skylar had to ask, since he was nicknaming all of his pals anyway. No matter Vivia's answer (which Skylar will respond to next time), Skylar thought about their next plan. [color=mediumslateblue]"Alright, apparently Route 6 is kind of tough, and I've got a few hurt buddies with me. I'm gonna run over on to the Pokemon Center in Lakewatch for just a quick heal up, maybe the Pokemart to get a quick bit of food for the team, then we'll be back and ready to move to Route 6 and then to Raremine."[/color] Skylar explained to Vivia while looking over to Dragon Lake in anticipation. [color=mediumslateblue]"Before I leave to do that, though, we're waiting on one... more..."[/color] [color=skyblue]"Wirgurr!!!"[/color] Sure enough, there was Seabreeze with yet another Pokeball in his beak. Heck yeah! There it was! Skylar got it back and the notifications on his Pokedex prompted to appear for real. A... Stunfisk that was asleep was what he caught? Sure, that's fine, he wasn't complaining. Welcome to the team, Stunfisk! [color=mediumslateblue]"Thanks Seabreeze! We'll name her Fortune."[/color] Skylar tucked away the Pokeball as he sent the new Stunfisk back to the PC. She'd be nice to meet later but right now... maybe not so much, what with Jeebs and Royal as the two new pals to meet. [color=mediumslateblue]"Everyone's here, nice. We'll be right back, Vivia!"[/color] And so Skylar did... just that. Ran off to go heal the team up before he went back. (Assuming that everything is simple and clean. Go in, heal, go back to the route. If something interesting happens, though, please do note!) If everything went well, Skylar would've made it back to Route 5 and would hopefully meet up with Vivia near the entrance to Route 6, unless she tagged along with Skylar to go and heal her team up. This is where we would actually continue things, though the whole team was out again as Skylar got back. [hider=Marching order, if it even matters.] Paradise is the big girl of the day, with JoJo riding on her head and Mac riding on her back. As always, Seabreeze is chilling on Skylar's head, and now for the first time we have Royal and Jeebs riding on each of Skylar's shoulders. Figure it was the best way for Skylar to meet the two.[/hider] [color=mediumslateblue]"Oh, uh, new introductions. Vivia, this is Jeebs and Royal."[/color] Skylar pointed to the Scatterbug and Emolga on his shoulders, smiling. [color=mediumslateblue]"Smiley and Celebrity are taking a quick little break. I've still got my eyes set on one more buddy, though. So... we're on the hunt for a Starly. If I find one quick, we can both hop on Paradise and we'll cruise our way right through Route 6."[/color] Skylar looked over to Route 6, a hand placed on Paradise's neck as he smiled with confidence. [color=mediumslateblue]"Raremine, here we come!"[/color] [hider=Starly Hunting] Lookin' for a Starly, it's a simple thing. That being said, let's try something else, shall we? Skylar's also looking for a Staravia, if there's a loner one out there that he could easily attempt to weaken, he'd go for that. Otherwise, it's Starly nation. We'd be willing to use up to 3 Pokeballs to try and catch the Staravia, if none work, we move onto a Starly. The plan for Staravia is to use Seabreeze to weaken it with a Water Pulse, then a Water Gun. After both, it's chucking Pokeballs and leaving it up to fate. If we get a Staravia, radical! If not, we'll find a lone Starly and use Royal with 2 Quick Attacks, followed by the last remaining Pokeball. If either is caught, we're not gonna try for the other. Fingers crossed, let's hope~![/hider]
