[center][h1][b][color=violet]Clarissa Ryte[/color][/b][/h1] [h3][i]Grand Glory Sewer Network, Grand Glory City[/i][/h3][/center] A small sigh escaped the psychic's lips as the second Pokeball finally stopped shaking, letting her know the Pokemon inside had been caught. It was as if she'd been holding her breath a bit, though, without even thinking about it. Sir Lopsalot, however, wasn't as well for the wear at the moment either. He'd taken a faceful of the Poison Gas move used by Trubbish, now Scrapper, and that wasn't the best even if his HP was still in realtively good condition. At the same time, when she walked over to him and bent to pick him up so they could- "Bun! Bun....bun bunbun." Really? But he-...ok, fine. It didn't make her rather happy, but if he pushed his luck too much he'd have no choice in the end. [color=violet]"Alright...but you will stay in the Pokeball until we need you most, ok? Please."[/color] The Buneary lightly nodded as he was sucked back into his Pokeball and placed on Clarissa's hip once more. It was her condition for keeping him down here longer after getting poisoned, otherwise he'd take more damage from it all just wandering around until they had to turn back. Yet if he was refusing to turn back this early on despite things she could only prod him so much over it, and perhaps he was still a tiny bit sore from his prior failure to win the battle as well. The stubborn, but sincere, little thing he was. But she didn't even have to try to read his mind to tell that, and he didn't have to be human to get the idea of what she was wanting to do when she'd walked over to him first. It was then, as she went over her two new Pokemon and looked at the Pokedex itself about them, that she heard Nils speaking to her. The psychic's head would pop up, gaze attentive the more he spoke. [quote=Nils]"...yeah, I get it. If there's a pokemon feeling misunderstood, you want to understand them, and if they're lonely, you want to show them some affection. Right?"[/quote] T-That...that was right. Part of her was embarassed she'd let some of that sentiment slip in terms of emotion, but at the same time her mind seemed to sigh with relief at the prospect that he seemed to [i]get it[/i] well enough as well. Grasped the idea of what she'd been thinking and had attempted to, even if without too much thinking on her part, communicate. Whatever it was down here, if it was alone and crying and sad and had lost its home or such, it was a rather 'heart on sleeve' type of emotion there but it was also one she felt she could relate to well enough. Perhaps more than she should have, admittedly, but she felt guilty for that part all the same within her own mind. That was why- [quote=Nils]"It's dark, hard to see, smells terrible, and the chances of catching some infectious disease down here is probably higher than it should be..." he said, and then scoffed, shook his head, and smiled at his fellow trainer. "...but let's keep going. If you think someone down here needs some help, let's go see what we can do."[/quote] ...For the first time since letting Amelia pet Sit Lopsalot, the edges of Clarissa's mouth turned upwards a noticeable but minuite bit. A tiny, almost unnoticeable, smile. A rarity in her life by far, but for it to be the second one in the day? Well, it must have been a good day so far then! But it was as much as she allowed herself to express such emotion, wheras a tinge of worry that would suddenly go off in her mind would push back hard to assert her usual stoicism once more. Ahem. Yes, she had to keep control. Not too much letting out emotion. She...she had to be careful, ever watchful, ever always. [color=violet]"Yes, let's find it and see what we can do."[/color] While Nils could heal up his new catch, however, Clarissa would let out her two new Pokemon from their balls. She had to give them a good look, pick a nickname, and see what the Alolan Grimer had been holding that had caused it to heal some over the battle's course. Ultimately, seeing the nature and personalities of the two Pokemon, the psychic would also decide on a pair of names: Lady Goowin (the Grimer) and Scrapper (the Trubbish)! Those were good-sounding names, weren't they? They felt fitting. However, she would take the apparent Black Sludge item from Lady Goowain, mostly as she tried to bop Scrapper on the head for some reason, and return her to her Pokeball. A proud lady to be sure, buuuut she would be sent back to Kapoc as soon as they were done in the sewers as well. As for Scrapper, he would softly speak up a moment as her attention came to him after putting Lady Goowain up and- "Trub trub?" -...he would be staying on the team for now. That was what her gut and her heart told her anyways. In that vein, Clarissa would gently pat the bipedal sapient garbage bag on the head after handing him the Black Sludge to keep for now. Scrapper seemed to regard the sludge with a mild awe for a moment, though, before smiling happily at it and then back at her in turn as he tucked it away on his little body to hold. She then leaned down to apply her one Potion to the little guy as well, and he grabbed her arm with his own little hands in turn in the silence. [b][Used Potion x1 on Scrapper][/b] Now then, it was time to move onward! After all- [quote]That creepy crying deep in these smelly sewers wasn't going to find itself.[/quote] Clarissa, with Scrapper now out and ready to go, would follow close with Nils and his Pokemon to go deeper into the sewers! She had no idea what they'd find aside from garbage and the obvious sorts of Pokemon they'd met so far, but....they would be seeing sooner than later, she figured, in the end. Secrets unknown? The source of the crying? A hidden cavern? Etc? Still, she'd also not go out of her way to battle. She would, however, seek to train Scrapper and Sir Lopsalot against any Pokemon that attacked her and Nils or got aggressive. She would only do so with Sir Lopsalot, however, until Sir Lopsalot had right at half health left though. He had to save his strength for emergencies! But Scrapper? Him she'd keep going as long as it was safe and reasonable to do so, since he was of lower level in the end.
