Sam Holiday made his way out of the pokemon center in Oldale town, a slight smirk on his face as he looked around outside. It was a pretty nice day out, the sun was shining, not a single storm cloud in the sky at the moment. It was a perfect day to keep on continuing on his adventure, only two more towns until he made it to the town with the first gym in it. Before he actually started walking Sam would reach up for the red scarf around his neck, adjusting the scarf a bit to put the two longer ends that hung down behind his back instead of in front of him.
Once his Scarf was adjusted Sam would start walking out of the town, heading towards Route 102 with two pokeballs on his waist. His Deino and Electrike, he still had the Bronzor on him for the moment but that pokemon's ball was tucked away somewhere in his backpack for right now.
While he walked down the route the boy slipped his hands in his pockets and began whistling a tune to himself, right now the tune was just to keep him preoccupied. Knowing that if he let his mind wander he'd end up thinking back to Johto and Ai...which might not end up to well. Hell it might even end up causing him to turn around and leave Hoenn, go back home to Johto. Eventually Sam would move over to the side of the route, leaning back against a tree while he whistled, deciding to wait for a pokemon to come to him.
the young bird huffed unhappily, eyeing the ground that revealed naught more than thin grasses and dry earth. there was little sustenance to be gained, so, naturally, she moved on. she hopped about, turning her round body this way and that. she located a few tasty seeds occasionally, but not enough to leave her filled. how bothersome! with her eyes on the ground, she failed to notice the boy who was approaching.
The boy blinked a bit as he stood around, hearing some type of..noise near the ground. It sounded like something was hopping or jumping around. "Thiiink I found one.." Sam muttered out as he looked down to see a Natu hopping along, only for his eyes to widen in surprise. "I thought those things were only in Johto, I didn't know it'd be here too, I can finally get one! Dad always thought they were creepy so he wouldn't let me have one..."
Almost as soon as Sam was finished rambling that out he'd immediately reach down in a hurry, knocking the pokeball off of his belt instead of grabbing it in his rush. Once the pokeball hit the ground his Electrike would pop out of the ball, causing Sam to blink. "Meant to send out Male but this works too. Alright Thor, see that green bird? Go tackle it a couple times!" He called out, the Electrike immediately charging forward at the order, planning to go in for two tackle attacks.
the natu was struck by the attack. thankfully she managed to avoid the second strike. flapping her useless wings, she completed the task of executing a dodge. despite her simple appearance, she was a clever little beast. after leering at the canine with her crimson gaze she conjured a collection of dark energy that was fired toward the fire-type.
the wild natu was hit by tackle! the wild natu dodged tackle! the wild natu used leer! the wild natu used night shade!
"You're doing great Thor keep it up..." Sam muttered out as the Electrike started to fight the Natu, even though it missed the second attack Sam still thought he was doing a good job. Electrike let out a small growl after the leer attack happened, jumping right out of the way of the night shade attack however.
Sam reached up to scratch the back of his head, thinking of what to do next "Just keep tackling for now!" While the Electrike ran in for only one more tackle attack Sam would stand around thinking quietly to himself. Mainly about why his dad wouldn't let him have one of those weird green birds before. Eventually he managed to remember, it was because they could see the future...wait what?
Once he remembered that Sam's eyes shot wide open as he literally yelled out "AI!", it didn't take him long to put two and two together. If the little bird thing can see the future he could ask it about Ai, He could find out if she was still out there. While he was thinking this the boy would start shaking out of excitement, he finally had a way to see if it was true, if she was really out there alive somewhere waiting to be found. He didn't even bother to hide his emotions, grinning widely as he reached down to grab an empty pokeball, tossing it in the Natu's direction, not even bothering to see if the tackle made contact or not. He didn't want to waste any time at all.
the natu flailed weakly after she was struck, electricity having transferred into her body due to the physical contact. struggling to control her own spasming form she could do little to avoid the capsule that bopped against her head and sucked her in. the pokeball trembled once and then twice before sighing out. she belongs to the boy now. how unfortunate.
the wild natu was hit by tackle! the wild natu became paralyzed! the wild natu was captured! trainer perk activated! electrike gained a level! continue?
As soon as the Natu was captured Sam would practically run over to the pokeball, moving right around his Electrike to pick up the ball. "You did great Thor alright.." Sam said before returning Electrike to his own pokeball, never taking his eyes off of the Natu's ball when he returned the Elecrike. "I can finally figure out if Ai's out there or not, and find out if this whole journey here was even worth it"
He said with a grin as he clicked the Natu's pokeball onto his belt loop. "Few more pokemon and I'll keep going on, as soon as I'm in the next town I'll ask the Natu some questions." Sam added with a quick nod of his head as he began searching for another pokemon.
surskit took comfort in the small puddle relishing the small pool. there was no prey to be had here, but at least it was cool enough. his gaze drifted toward the boy whom combed the area for some unknown reason. but he was wholly unbothered, merely standing at the miniature pool's center - perfectly still - perfectly calm.
Sam had honestly almost completely missed the Surskit at first, only catching a glimpse of it out the corner of his eye while walking past it. He was still too lost in thought at the moment, his mind racing over dozen's of different things, each one having something to do with Ai however.
Not sure what the pokemon was, since he only saw the glimpse of it, Sam would turn right back around mid stride, deciding that Electrike still needs some experience.. Heading over a few steps from the water the Surskit was standing on, to get a better view of the pokemon.
"Hey little dude..." The boy said while crouching down a bit, getting closer to the Surskit's level. "What are you doing out there? Isn't the water pretty cold usually? It at least looks cold but eh what do I know it might be warm, but yeah it probably is cold. That reminds me of this time me and Ai went swimming when we were younger, she was all freaking out over the water being cold.."
Sam rambled out before starting to shake his head, realizing that he had started rambling to the pokemon. It had been a bit of time since he went off on one of his long rambling tangents, he didn't feel entirely right subjugating some random pokemon to it.
After saying all of that Sam would reach down and hit a button on his pokeball, sending his Electrike out once again. For now the little lightning dog, lion, wolf thing would stand near Sam's side, not being able to tackle the pokemon while it was on top of the water, not having much else to do the Electrike would look up into the air one howl after the other, trying to psych himself up in case a battle happened.
the petite creature's gaze shifted calmly toward the boy whom spoke. he took some interest in the rambling, feeling the unfamiliar tug of curiosity as the boy sought out his attention - perhaps even company. humans were the odd and unpredictable sort, so he wasn't too surprised. looking on in a stoic fashion as the boy introduced his electric mutt to the field that howled to the sky above.
"Suuurrrr," he tittered, gaze shifting back toward the boy.
Sam couldn't help but blink a bit as the Surskit seemed to take an interest in him. He stopped talking because he was just used to people ignoring his ramblings or getting irritated from it. The boy would end up tilting his own head at the Surskit, a bit intrigued as well. "Weeell if you want me to keep going or something..."
Sam muttered out before launching into a long tangent. Rambling on about various things and subjects. Mostly telling the Surskit various stories about things him and Ai had done in the past, since the two had been best friends since childhood Sam had plenty of stories to go on about. As long as the Surskit didn't stop him or anything else didn't stop him Sam would sit there and ramble on for about a half hour in total.
surskit was actually a pretty good listener. perfectly comfortable standing idle as the human male rambled on about this or that, the time slipped away from the odd trio. it wasn't long before his eyes drifted shut, body growing lax yet maintaining an upright position. he had dozed off before he even knew it.
After sitting there for a few moments, trying to catch his breath after his long rambling of course. Sam would look up at the Surskit again, before chuckling and letting out a quick "D'aaw." "Little dude fell asleep eh Thor?" He added while looking over at the Electrike, the Electrike having stayed awake through all the rambling. Only because it wasn't longer however, the little green dog pokemon was already leaning up against Sam, a tired look in its eyes.
"Well....hmm let's see if this works, I'm sure the little thing wouldn't mind coming along for more stories right?" The boy asked his Electrike for some reason as he reached down into his pocket, pulled out an empty pokeball and leaned forward. Trying to tap it against the Surskit's head to try to capture it.
the capsule failed to awake the surskit, the creature remaining wholly unaware as he was gobbled up by the piece of tech. once he was sucked in, the capsule trembled once - twice - three times. it eventually released an electronic sigh, confirming that the surskit had successfully been captured.
sam has captured the wild surskit! trainer perk activated! electrike gained a level! continue?
"Well that was easy.." Sam would say before bursting into a small fit of laughter as he pocketed the Surskit's pokeball. "Wish I could just talk every pokemon into coming with us." He added while reaching over, scratching Electrike behind the ears before standing back up to his feet. Once on his feet the boy would stand around for a few moments, debating on what to do next, should he keep going onto the next town or find a new pokemon.
Eventually Sam would nod his head before starting to walk again, whistling sharply to get Electrike to follow. "C'mon Thor, gonna go find one more pokemon for you to battle. Then you and Maleficent should be close to the same level." The Electrike would hop up to his feet and follow Sam down the route, sticking close to his trainer's feet.
