Level: 12 Moves: Peck, Leer, Endure Ability: Swarm Held Item: None [/hider] [/hider] [/center] Ever the generous soul this bug maniac was. Well, nothing in this world really came for free so he couldn't complain if he was being asked for something in return. That being said, what the heck could he even offer to this guy? Money was definitely not something he had in spades and he sure as hell was not going to use his family name to get what he wanted. Actually, he doubted this guy would have been swayed by money, but what if he could tempt him with something far more valuable? [color=8882be]"Alright, how about information in-exchange for information? There's a very strong trainer by the name of Zachery, going around selling Pokemon that are not native naturally to Isson and despite his appearance, he is quite legit. He even gave me a rare Pokemon egg from Galar for free."[/color] As he said that, he pulled the egg out of his bag to show that he was not making this up because really, why should he take his words at face value? But hey, it's up to the maniac to believe him or not. [color=8882be]"I can imagine that he has any number of foreign bug types that you wouldn't have the means to obtain normally. He travels by ship so you'd find him around harbors, but if you rush now you can probably catch him at Pureplain still."[/color] And then there was the guy at the souvenir stand. What a fountain of information! If only that information was actually useful. To be fair, it did specify something; the guardian Pokemon weren't spirits, but fairies. There was always some hint of truth to these legends, but otherwise not of much substance. [color=8882be]"Well, thanks anyway. Good luck with your stand."[/color] Back into the woods he went and the rain was beating down on him with almost no warning. Basil fumbled about to get his umbrella out though he was already looking pretty drenched before he got it over his head. [color=8882be]"Can't say I'm a fan of the never ending rain."[/color] He muttered to himself as he kept walking, his surroundings were just getting darker as the forest just grew thicker... And then light? Blue lanterns were strewn about everywhere and there were gates placed in random locations that lead to nowhere. There was definitely some other worldly power at play here though he could not help, but wonder if this was related to the guardian Pokemon. He had heard rumors, but he never really expected this places to truly be a fairy forest. What a strange, wonderous place. Basil had sat down on a tree route and just took everything in around him, finding some sort of peace in the melancholy, mystical wood as well as intrigue. What else could he find in this wood? Of course his main objective was to still find the abandoned shrine, but there was no rush. Those Floettes were certainly all too tempting to catch, but considering how many were around, they had the advantage in numbers so he had a thought; he could lure one over to him. He whipped out his mandolin and begun to play a calm, atmospheric tune in hopes of luring one over though it was possible that other Pokemon would get curious about it too.
