Safari Contest [Volcanic Island] - (Closed)

[Reno Vantas]

Leslie would stumble into the area, eyeing everything around her with an air of suspicion. After that haunted house, she was not taking anything around here at face value.  

[Reno Vantas]

It took Leslie exactly ten seconds into her trip to locate the first Pokemon that was available. She watched as a snake-like creature breathed fire and then proceeded to spit poison onto a nearby Aron where it proceeded to begin to burn into the Steel type. It was somewhere around this point that Leslie screamed at the top of her lungs, sprinting off across the volcanic terrain as she desperately wanted to find something, anything else.  

[Reno Vantas]

A Togedemaru would get into the way of the fleeing girl, but there was nothing to stop her charge. And soon the Togedemaru would find itself flying through the sky as a inconsolable hybrid punted the thing into the air.  

[Arkelos]

Arkelos and Houndour relax next to the rock when a Fletchling comes flying down, landing on Arkelos' head. "Well hello there. How are-?" The Fletchling chirped a sweet song, and than started pecking at Arkelos. "These pokemon are suppose to be friendly, unless it thinks we are challenging its territory. It must have a nest near by."

The two started running in the direction they were going. "Well so much for a break." Shortly after running, the come across another pokemon, "Ummm this can't be good."  

[Arkelos]

With Fletchling shortly behind, and keeping an eye on whether or not it's still in pursuit. Arkelos failed to see the Stufful in front of him. After tripping over it, the Fletchling dives in for an attack. "Houndour, scare it off, but don't hurt it." Houndour launches several flamethrower blasts at the flying type. One shot grazed it wing, scaring it off. "Great job, now what did i trip over?" Look over it sees a pink stuffed animal. "Huh, someone must have dropped their pokedoll." Reaching over and picking it up, the animal began to struggle and flail it's arms. With a ear piercing screech, Arkelos drops the pokemon and it runs back into the woods.

"Well, that was unpresidented. I'll have to write down this encounter." While writing down, the two get on their way.  

[Reno Vantas]

Leslie would continue her emotional charge away from the Salandit when she began to see something interesting on the horizon: a cute, pink stuffed animal that was just sitting on the ground in her path. Rather than thinking it through, she simply leaped at the thing and began to snuggle with it while she slowly curled up. "Oh god, why is there a thing that can breath fire, poison, and is a snake? I thought things were supposed to be nice and idyllic and boring on this island, not horrifying. But at least I have something to leave with now." Leslie mumbled into the stuffie, feeling it as it began to squirm and wriggle in her arms. What the? Slowly easing up her death hug on the Stufful, Leslie watched as the thing began to attempt to thrash its limbs. Giving it enough room to get a good limb movement, the Stufful would successfully swing one of its limbs around and knock into Leslie's forehead. Which proceeded to send Leslie's head snapping back and rocket the small Pokemon out of her arms. Staring up at the sky from her new position on the ground, Leslie would begin to feel in her bag before she found a Pokeball that seemed familiar. "Fine. I'm claiming you as mine and THEN snuggling with you. And no one can ever know the second part." Leslie muttered to the sky, cracking open the Pokeball, watching for her Fearow to appear and proceed to swoop at the Stufful. Waiting for a moment, Leslie would look down at the ground and find a Taillow staring up at her earnestly. "So....I forgot I had you. Guess you'll work." Leslie told the Taillow. Staring down at the Taillow for a moment, Leslie decided to get the point across by pointing the small bird towards the slowly toddling over stuffie.

Hopping over to the Stufful, the Taillow would chirp happily towards the Fighting type. And the now significantly grumpy Stufful responded by slamming into the Taillow with a Hammer Arm that sent the small bird sailing into the air. "I don't know what I'm watching, but I hope that clues in the bird." Leslie grumbled, watching the Taillow as he spread his wings to swoop around in midair. Before it landed again and playfully began to Peck at the Stufful, making the small Pokemon begin to squirm and swing at the Taillow. Said Taillow proceeded to hop around the swings with little chirps. Seems that the Taillow still saw this as a game. Eventually the Stufful would put one of its paws down for a second before suddenly swinging it upwards, a wreath of Dark energy surrounding it. The Brutal Swing would send the Taillow upwards again before it righted itself and stared down at the Stufful. This wasn't playing. So now it was time to do stronger stuff. Diving down towards the Stufful, a bit of wind would pick up around the Taillow's beak before it slammed down into the Stufful with an Aerial Ace.

"Lets just stop this farce before it gets real pathetic." Leslie told the pair, drawing out an Ultra Ball before tossing it towards the Stufful. She wanted her own cuddly friend and she wanted it now before this whole thing went any further.  

[Reno Vantas]

Watching the Ultra Ball, Leslie would find her smile dying off as the Taillow got in the way of the Ultra Ball. "Fine. Stupid bird." Leslie muttered, watching as the two Pokemon began to exchange blows again. The Stufful Thrashing against the rapid fire Pecks of the Taillow. Staring at it for a moment, Leslie would simply begin to walk over before feeling the skin of her ponytail harden before swung the thing over her head to catch both Pokemon with the attack. Drawing out another Ultra Ball, Leslie would send it flying at the first form to begin moving to run away from the sudden impact. There was no way the Taillow had recovered first.  

[Reno Vantas]

Watching as yet another Ultra Ball bounced off of the Taillow she was unfortunate enough to own, Leslie would turn to the more sluggish form in the dust cloud before she attempted to capture the thing inside of her ponytail's jaw as she unleashed another Ultra Ball. This thing was going to be her's, one way or another.  

[Reno Vantas]

And yet again, the Taillow would swoop in and block the Ultra Ball as it came in for a massive Brave Bird dive that sent the Stufful flying away from Leslie's reach. Staring at the pair for a moment, the hybrid would simply place her last Ultra Ball on the ground for a moment before walking back a few steps. Quickly, the Taillow would see the new toy and swoop in to grab the device before throwing it towards it's new friend. Hopefully the new friend could catch as well as they could fight.  

[Reno Vantas]

Watching his new friend reach for the Pokeball, the Taillow would soon see the device open up and a beam of light take the Stufful and stuff it inside of the ball. Watching the device drop onto the ground, the Taillow would poke at the ball for a moment before picking it up and returning to Leslie with a gesture towards the thing. Apparently, the Taillow wanted its new friend out of the ball. "No. It stays in there until we get the hell out of this contest.....uh, whats your name?" Leslie felt herself slow as she began to ponder. Did she ever name the Taillow? "Well.....I name you Toot Toot. Now get back in your ball." Leslie told the Taillow, snatching the Pokeball off the ground and quickly returning the Taillow before it attempted to open the Stufful's Pokeball. Didn't need that particular can of worms getting out again.

After kicking down a Stop sign with a pair of Team Skull grunts and getting arrested, Allen was back with Beck to enjoy the wilds of Alola. On a vocano. "Enjoying the smoke buddy?" He asked his channeling partner, getting a dull 'Kofff' in response. He took that as yes. It was exciting that there was a Safari Contest happening. Allen hated longer missions, but he enjoyed short things to match his attention span.  

[Tsuki the Fated Wind]

"TOGEDE-"

"Oh sweet, a soccer ball!"

Kick.

Allen whistled innocently and continued on his way. That was, until the Togedemaru came screaming back, Zing Zap in full motion as it tackled the boy into the ground. Jacket fried and hair gone mad, Allen waved his arm helplessly. "Hit. The thing. With a thing." He whined, faceplanting back into the volcanic soil. Beck understood that command as Gyro Ball so he tackled the electric rodent, though it didn't do as much damage as he hoped.

The electric type leapt off Allen, earning a groan from the boy, and fired a barrage of Pin Missiles at back at Beck. While the Koffing kept it distracted, the trainer scrolled through his SNAG's Pokedex feature for help. "Doesn't evolve but is rare and cute. Sorry bud, Zest is the resident mascot. Use Smog!"

Beck let loose gas to no effect, earning a Discharge from the Togedemaru. "Ignite it!" Beck increased the temperature from the stream and made a makeshift Flamethrower to send the Steel type ablaze. Allen raised his fists in the air (or tried, he was a little paralized). The wild Pokemon was sent scurrying back into a burrow and Beck began to drag Allen with his mouth by the hood of the boys jacket.

"Thank you Beck."

"Koffing."

Perhaps an even more bizarre sight for where Amaranth was would come when she heard the light patter of something walking nearby. Veering off to try and see what it was, she'd see... a Vulpix? It certainly looked the part, at the very least. But the last she recalled, they weren't such an icy blue color. The air around it was a little cooler too, watching as it stopped every so often to spray a flurry of ice shards onto itself, each of its tails shaking whenever it did so. "Is this still near that region...?" She asked herself, assuming proximity to Alola somehow had something to do with this.

Though she drew near, she ultimately decided to turn and leave it alone. She wasn't too keen on finding out the finer points of any differences here.  

[Darksol88]

It'd turn out that her decision to turn was for the better; almost as soon as she did, she'd hear the sound of something emerge from the ground and ran off a bit faster just in case.

Unknown to Amaranth was the Grubbin that had ambushed the odd Vulpix she saw prior... or the subsequent Ice Beam it took soon after.  

[Darksol88]

Amaranth would resume her exploration once she felt safe enough to do so, only to see a Pikipek flying around. She was soon reminded of the one she ended up with not long ago, looking down for a second before simply continuing on.
