[attr=class,ashes] "okay feng, time to go to rustboro." cain says as he enters the looming forest. the poochyena is quick to explore, sniffing at each and every plant he can find. it's a typical little puppy, but it's loyal and flufy to say the least. he can't really say the same about his scyther. it's too...bug to get past.
the forest is dark and scary. sunlight comes down in an occasional patch. otherwise the huge trees prevent it from penetrating the canopy. he shivers. it's also cold cain can only hope that he gets a good pokemon soon. he has a preference for dark types, but honestly, anything else works.
she trembled, her legs neatly folded as she rested upon the open pathway. the filly's eyes fluttered shut occasionally, and she appeared to be in a dozing state. ponyta didn't know what else to do other than sleep. she had been separated from her mother and her herd recently. it had been several days since she seen them last, and she had wandered aimlessly since that day. nickering softly to herself, she allowed her eyes to completely fall shut. perhaps sleep would rid her of her anxiety. maybe when she woke up she would see them again.
it isn't long before feng spots something and dashes off with loud yips. cain half-jobs behind him. he could really use a break from this hyperactive hound sometimes. feng suddenly stops, barking at the pokemon in view. "woah..." it's a ponyta -- a small one. it looks too fragile without the company of it's herd. cain immediatly sushes the poochyena and kneels down. there's not another horse in sight.
for a moment he doesn't really know what to do. "u-uh, hey little guy...girl? you okay there?" he questions. he shrugs off his backpack and opens it, looking for maybe something to give. there's a bag of pokemon food that he's saved for feng. maybe the ponyta would like it?
the scent of of 'predator' floods her nostrils. and at first, she freezes in response, both ears and eyes turning toward the odd pair who now stood so close. still a touch more drowsy than she'd like to be in such a situation, she stood clumsily, stumbling slightly before falling into a kneeling position.
"..."
blinking at the strange bipedal creature who approached, she noted his odd scent. he accompanied the gray canine-thing as well. her head turned to and fro, and a look of bewilderment formed on her features. but the scent of food managed to successfully coax the foal. after shakily standing, she trotted closer, pausing briefly due to her fear of being attacked by the dark-type.
the ponyta glances at feng. she's obviously wary of the poochyena. cain draws out a pokemon. "return." he says. feng materializes into a beam of red light, going back to his pokeball. it's strangely quiet without him, but cain finds that he doesn't really bind.
cain shifts himself into a cross-legged position. he says, "don't worry about it, it's just me now." he isn't sure if the pokemon can understand him, but he makes an effort anyways. talking to himself helps gather his thoguhts together, anyways.
"so uh. you lost?" he asks. cain's expecting a wild rapidash to come out at any moment and perhps squish him, but there's not one in sight.
the ponyta settled before the boy, proceeding to carefully kneel before the resting biped. he didn't smell dangerous. and his voice was soft. so she naturally took comfort in his gentle mannerisms. the filly moved to pressed her head against him, absently noting that he was warm. she wanted contact at the moment, to be around something that she could share her warmth with. nickering softly, the ponyta proceeded to familiarize herself with his scent once again.
"..."
she didn't understand him too well. but he still seemed so nice.
the wild ponyta appears to have taken a liking to team aqua cain!
perhaps the ponyta left by choice. he rubs its snout, feeling the warmth beneath his skin. he just hopes that he doesn't end up burning himself in the process. those flames look a little dangerous, he notes.
the ponyta doesn't really respond to him. that means it doesn't really care, or it doesn't understand him, and given the chances, cain's betting on the latter of the two. pokemon don't usually learn english unless they've been around humans.
so what is he going to do now? cain shrugs. he wouldn't mind having a ponyta on his team. just because he's in aqua, doesn't mean that he's restricted to one type of pokemon. cain digs into his pocket for a spare pokemon. he shows it to the pokemon as an offer.
"so uh, you want to come along with me? you can get stronger this way."
she has never seen a capsule before. so she merely blinks at him with a blank expression on her face. he had spoke once more, his tone gentle and questioning almost. the filly tilted her head before focusing on the pokeball once more. the fire-type moved to sniff at it before bopping it with her nose playfully - thinking of it as a toy. accidentally triggering the mechanism that would result in capture, she was sucked into the device a moment later. the device wriggled slightly in the boy's grasp before going still.
team aqua cain has successfully captured a wild ponyta! continue?
cain honestly doesn't know what to do with the ponyta. it seems friendly enough, but it can't understand him. nor does it seem to know what a pokeball even is. it blinks at the pokeball, and before he knows it ponyta taps on the mechanism and is promptly sucked into the capsule.
cain looks at it in shock. is that...supposed to happen? the pokeball clicks and goes still. so he's captured it. now what? he shrugs, pocketing it and standing. maybe he'll go to the pokemon center and ask if there's been any rapidash missing their young. for now, it's apart of his team.
there's nothing else to do but to move on. cain shoulders his backpack once again, and heads down the route with a grin on his face.
