Well if he was going to hang around Littleroot for a bit and help out the professor for a few days he figured he might as well see if he could catch some pokemon. It helped that Birch even encouraged the idea stating that as a new trainer and a person rather new to the pokemon world he should try to catch as many pokemon as he could in the beginning of his journey. Of course he’d had to remind the professor that he was a breeder and that it was likely one day he’d settle down to open up a farm. Professor Birch had merely laughed, waving it off and saying that it was likely he’d probably see even more pokemon then. Yami had been only able to shake his head and huff softly at the too nice and jolly professor. Sometimes the man through him with how merry he was.
Silver-gray eyes glanced down at the pokeball at his side and smiled, wondering what his Espurr would say if he was out of his pokeball at the moment. The pokemon had tons of sass to match his own rather sarcastic personality and they regularly bantered back and forth. He enjoyed having the psychic type around and had instantly decided they would most likely be his favorite type of pokemon. At the moment though Sei, his espiurr, was currently relaxing in his pokeball deciding he was too lazy to actually walk around route 101 with his human companion. With a short ‘call me out if you need help’ he’d retreated into his pokeball with a happy little noise and slept.
It was moments like that, that Yami could do nothing but shake his head at his pokemon companion’s personality. Then again sometimes he felt like the pokemon was making up for the things he didn’t exactly let show since he tended to hide a lot. His eyes slid back up to the path, hand buried in his pockets as he strolled around the route waiting to see if any pokemon came about. He’d need to catch some anyway before he tried to go on to Oldale.
she lapped at her paws, pressing the moistened pads against any fur that appeared to be out of place here or there. today was pleasant so far - a pity there were so few humans to be had. humans tended to carry treats and had these wonderful things called hands. they were soft and warm, and the species tended to serve their feline companions all-too well.
perhaps she should try to catch one?
moments later, she was on the prowl, eyes sharp as she searched the surrounding land for the human species. eventually, she had happened upon one. it appeared to be male. he would do, she decided. the feline paused briefly, considering on how to properly claim the human.
first, you had to rub yourself against them. by pressing ones scent against their legs in an affectionate manner, you would establish your claim properly. trotting forward, she did just that, rubbing her petite body against the human with a resounding purr.
a wild glameow has appeared! the wild glameow is attempting to claim breeder yami!
To say he wasn’t expecting to suddenly have a pokemon come up to him out of the blue and almost trip him was an understatement. One moment he was walking regularly next he was attempting not to fall flat on his face and step on the feline pokemon currently purring up to him. Once he was steady on his feet and no longer moving, Yami blinked down at the female pokemon, getting his pokedex out and scanning her to get some information. It didn’t take long for it to tell him she was a Glameow and all the rest of that nifty information including that she was a normal-type. He hummed softly in interest and knelt down, chuckling softly as he reached out to pet her. Normal type being aside he had to admit…feline-like pokemon were adorable and probably his next favorite after psychic types.
“What are you doing suddenly appearing out of nowhere, pretty girl?” He examined her for a moment before debating his choices, sticking his hand into his bag and grabbing two things. The first thing he pulled out was food he’d brought with him for Espurr…who, now that he thought about it, was also rather feline-like so he supposed he’d scored big time with Sei. He shook a few of the treats into his hands and offered it up to the Glameow as he took out the second item…a pokeball that lay harmlessly in his palm where she could easily see he had no intention of doing anything with it quite yet. “Alright then…what do you think of coming along in my little adventure? Plenty of food to go around.” He was slightly awkward, not sure if she’d understand him as easily as Sei understood him considering she wasn’t a psychic type like his starter. However, he could only hope as he offered up both the food and pokeball so she could make her decision.
glameow purred, immensely satisfied by the human's response. she was right as well! he had offered her treats, attempting to win her over and accept her claim with food and kindness. she gobbled up the delicious mixture of soft bits, licking her lips hungrily as she finished up the small snack.
"meow," she drawled.
pressing her head against the palm of his hand, she glanced at the ball he held. a toy? glameow pawed at it curiously, batting at the device with a paw. the pokemon was still rather young and failed to recognize the device. distracted, she didn't respond to his offer at first.
the wild glameow has accepted the treats! the wild glameow is playing with yami's capsule!
Yami couldn’t help but grin at the feline pokemon as she purred and seemed pleased by his reaction, his nose wrinkling at the ticklish sensation her whiskers gave him as she ate the food. He looked over the pokemon, noting her springy tail and lithe but petite body. He imagined she was still pretty young but still looked rather strong, especially compared to Sei who still needed to be trained a bit. She’s be a good pokemon for him to add to his collection and if he could only get her to agree to come along…he definitely doubted he’d get another chance like this so he wouldn’t waste it. When she pressed her head to his palm he gave her ears a gentle scratch, grinning widely before catching himself and looking around to make sure no one had noticed. He had a reputation to make about himself, couldn’t have people realizing he was still such a newbie when it came to pokemon and dealing with them.
His attention was stolen back to the current predicament when the feline began playing with the pokeball capsule. A soft huff of laughter escaped him and he shook his head, playfully scratching under her chin as he murmured. “This isn’t a toy but…maybe you’ll better understand if I do this.” Pressing the button he watched as it enlarged in his palm, fitting snuggly in it as it seemed to wait to be used. He debated what to do next before deciding to try again and this time taking the initiative. “Okay…so I’m going to try and capture you…if you want to come with and always have something to eat feel free to stay.” Without another word he activated the capsule and watched as it popped open, a red light shooting out towards the feline pokemon. Now all he could do was wait and see if she’d join his little party and he could only hope she would.
the she-cat merely blinked at the human and capsule in bewilderment. its enlargement had caused her to startle slightly, but she continued to examine and sniff it curiously afterward. when he spoke, glameow merely peered up at him, eyes eyes revealing her confusion before she merely mewled cheerily. a layer of warmth spread across her petite shape afterward, the device having successfully gobbling her up.
the pokeball wriggled and trembled for a brief period of time before halting with an electronic sigh.
He…did it…He caught his first wild pokemon! A grin curled his lips for a moment as warmth bloomed in his chest and he looked down at the pokeball like an idiot. That had gone rather well and he was relieved that the first pokemon he caught had been the Glameow seeing as she’d been all too happy to approach him and seemingly come along. He noted to make sure to introduce her to Sei when he got the chance, knowing the Psychic type feline would be wary of her at first…and probably extra possessive of him. That particular thought made his smile falter as he thought of how well that meeting was going to go. With a soft chuckle huffed out of his lips, Yami could only shake his head and slowly stand back up on his feet. He stretched his body, loosening any kinks he’d acquired from crouching down to be within easy reach of the pokemon. Feeling rather optimistic and light hearted after that encounter, Yami hoped he’d continue having some good fortune with these pokemon.
Shoving his hands into his pockets and tapering down his grin to a vague quirk of his lips, the brunette began walking on the path again. Debating where he should turn now and if he should keep moving along the path…not all the pokemon were just going to come walking up to him that easily right?? With a low hum under his breath of a tune, the young man veered off the path a bit. There would be no harm in investigating a bit of tall grass or a tree and seeing if his luck would keep going. He wouldn’t hold his breath though, he was too wary of luck and knowing how tricky she liked to be. One moment she’d be smiling down on him and then the next she was laughing. So…he’d check this out and then if there was nothing or even if there was something he’d check it out…maybe even catch it and then just go back on the path.
it was a soft chant. one that was ultimately cheery and uplifting. a small pokemon of unknown origin sauntered her way through the forest, preforming a small jig as she trotted about.
"plusle!"
shaking her little rear, she allowed a tune to play within the confines of her mind. distracted by her fun, plusle failed to notice the human male who was in her way.

So far so good…or at least that was what he wanted to think but he hadn’t come across anything. Maybe he should have stayed on the path and took his chance with the road seeing as he’d had some luck with it already, He glanced back and decided he hadn’t wandered too far from the path that it would take too long getting back. Running a hand through his hair again he rolled his eyes at himself and turned around, looking at the pokeball he took out that now housed his Glameow. She was still young and from her attitude she was going to be pretty similar to Sei in regards to him so he should decide on a name that would suit her…He let out a thoughtful noise as he tossed the pokeball up in the air a few times before an idea came to him…or rather a name.
Machiko…He’d name her Machiko.
A small little smile curled his lips before something caught his attention and he paused. Cocking his head to the side he realize it sounded like a pokemon chanting…or rather singing?? He listened a little more closely and yes! There was definitely a rhythm to that chant but for a moment he couldn’t discern what it was until it was right upon him. The brunette blinked when something bumped into his leg and looked down to see…a plusle! His smile widened and he crouched down once more, chuckling as he murmured to the critter. “That was some really good singing.” Yami was a musician in his own right so he could definitely appreciate music and a pokemon that seemed to like it was alright in his book…it was pretty adorable to boot.
instead of allowing the human male to startle her into halting - she merely decided to dance around him in tight circles. eventually she halted before him, a small paw settled on her hip as her head bobbed to the beat inside her head. something about the plusle radiated with natural swagger.
"plusle. plusle. plusle," she chanted.
eventually the female leaned closer, her eyes partially lidded as a cocky smirk slid onto her face.
"plusle?" she questioned, cocking her head to the side.
a boy, hm? he was kinda cute for a human.
a wild plusle has taken an interest in breeder yami!

Yami let out a laugh as he watched her dance around him, grinning at the show she was putting on for him. His eyes followed the tight dancing circles she made around him, wondering what songs she was hearing that she was apparently so interested in. When she finally paused she was still dancing even if it was only her head bopping to the beat only she could apparently hear. It was definitely entertaining to see. She was still chanting to a beat as well her whole being seeming apart of the music she was obviously still being entertained by. Yami was definitely enjoying it as he watched, a grin curling his lips and he half wished he had his guitar with him.
He blinked when the plusle suddenly leaned forward towards him and he was pretty sure that was a smirk on her face as she looked at him. Even as she let out a questioning noise Yami could only shake his head and grin at the obviously confident and rhythmic plusle, letting out another chuckle as he quipped. “You definitely have some groove in you.” A smirk curled his own lips and he let out a thoughtful noise as he folded an arm over one knee. “So you like music then?? That’s pretty awesome considering I happen to play the guitar.” Allowing a grin to upturn his lips again he tried to look a little less eager and more thoughtful as he hummed, his tone considering as he spoke up. “I wonder if you’d still be just as badass if you’d share some of that groove with my group.” There was a hint of tease to his words, unable to help himself when the plusle was looking so confident and he felt like teasing.
she cocked her head in response to his offer. the electric-type understood what he meant, but, in all honesty, she didn't appear completely won other. with a small shrug, she walked away from him for a moment - paused - and peered over her shoulder. wiggling her tail teasingly, the plus signs etched into her face visibly sparking with electrical currents.
"plus," she replied, peering over her shoulder and gesturing with a paw.
only when the boy showed her the right moves would she be impressed enough to follow. and what better way to display ones swagger than with battle?
Yami chuckled at the spunk the Plusle radiated, quirking an eyebrow at the pokemon as she looked over her shoulder and wagged her tail tauntingly at him. There was no way he could mistake what the cute but spunky pokemon wanted with the way she reacted to his invitation. He hadn’t really had a chance to test his luck with Sei yet but he supposed he’d be getting to now if the way the plusle’s cheeks sparked said anything about it. He let out a low thoughtful hum as he watched her for a moment, considering what to do now that he’d practically been challenged to a battle by a wild pokemon of all things. He’d supposed he should consider himself lucky that the first pokemon he’d caught had been easier and more willing to go with him than this one. However, he was pretty determined right now and he wasn’t going to let this chance escape him.
Without hesitating another moment the brunette brought out his pokeball, giving it a fond look before calling out his espurr. He watched as the red light released Sei and the espurr blinked slowly at the plusle only a little ways from it before giving him a curious look. Are we battling this pokemon, Yami? The grey eyed young man nodded his head slightly as he felt the psychic presence of his pokemon brush against his mind before retreating. He could practically see the smirk on Sei’s face as the pokemon went back to facing the plusle, I see now…I suppose this will be a good waking up exercise. Yami chuckled softly before calling out, “Alright Sei! Let’s start with a scratch attack and follow it up with covet!”
TAG: YOYO! | WORDS: 286 | NOTES: Espurr used covet and scratch~
health status: healthy battle status: + 4 spec. attack.
"plus!"
the plusle leaped away after it was hit by scratch, shaking her head as she rubbed the red lines that had been etched onto her belly. it wasn't too bad, and the damage was quite shallow, but she remained impressed by the feline's swiftness.
"plus-le!"
the pokemon proceeded to mellow out a bit, her sway slowing down quite a bit.
"plus - le."
she allowed her mind to wander, shutting her eyes despite the harsh blow that followed. only stumbling, she quickly recovered as she prepped herself for attack.
the wild plusle was hit by scratch! the wild plusle used nasty plot! the wild plusle was hit by covet! the wild plusle used nasty plot!

He watched as both attacks landed and winced slightly, feeling a little bad for the poor pokemon but knowing it was necessary since the Plusle had challenged him to this battle. Espurr glanced back at Yami feeling his unease and slight guilt on hurting the pokemon. His trainer, as coarse as he could be, had a soft heart and didn’t often like fighting pokemon. Then again he had no doubt it probably didn’t help that while helping Birch he’d also seen a different side of pokemon training. Sei softened the slightest and sent a comforting wave of emotion through their psychic link and steel colored eyes fell to his small feline-like pokemon. He offered up the smallest of smiles before nodding his head at the Plusle, “Come on, head back in the game.” The espurr let out a soft purr of his name in agreement as he braced himself.
Both watched cautiously as the Plusle’s swaying got slower and she seemed to be preparing for something but Yami couldn’t be sure of what exactly. He braced himself as well as he gave out orders to his pokemon. “Alright, let’s go in with a Scratch and then try another Scratch Sei.” Espur glanced back at him before nodding his head in understanding, bracing himself as he let darted forward suddenly with a surprising bit of speed the psychic pokemon let out a soft call of its name. Wide eyes taking in the area as it bore down on the electric type with its claws outstretched before retracting them after he swiped at the Plusle. He waited a bit before darting forward once more and releasing claws to take another swipe at the Plusle. Sei retreated a little ways in order to remain a safe distance and see what the other hand in mind but Yami just watched to see how much damage he’d done this go round.
TAG: YOYO! | WORDS: 316 | NOTES: Espurr used scratch and scratch~
