Pokemon Appearances:
5 rp posts are required, then generate a number between 1 and 42. This will determine the Pokemon that appears. All encountered pokemon will match the average level of your active party.
EXP is quantified by the number of words in your post. For every 100 words you write, each active party pokemon gets 1 EXP, so at 200 words, each active party member gets 2 EXP, at 300 words, 3 EXP, and so on. This stops after 1000 words, i.e. the max EXP you can get per pokemon per post is 10 without any exp bonuses. Posts can have more than 1000 words in them, however the word limit for bonus EXP is 1000. The word count doesn't round up, so if you have 199 words, it's still only 1 exp per pokemon, not 2. Please note how many words are in your post somewhere in your post. The word count does not include coding and layout, only the words in your RP posts.
Pokemon, NPCs, and Items:
All wild pokemon are encountered in the Dream World by spending Pokemon Encounter Post Points, and they will match the average level of your active party. You ARE allowed to capture pokemon in the Dream World. Any pokemon caught in the Dream World can stay with your trainer while they travel around the Dream World, but will be mysteriously transported to your trainer's PC when they wake up. The pokemon encountered in the Dream World are usually only available in select areas of the guild, so use this as an opportunity to catch your favorite pokemon or fill up your pokedex!
You may also battle NPCs in the Dream World, as other trainers will be getting thrown into the realm as well. Their maximum combined team level will be equal to 4 times your active party's average level.
Battle Changes:
-All Battles will be Inverse Battles -Obedience Rules do not apply -Lower level pokemon will move first -Status altering moves will work in reverse, as if the pokemon using it has the ability Contrary. For pokemon who actually have the ability Contrary, status altering moves work normally.

Honestly, Reese didn’t know where he was going. All he knew was that he wanted to get away from the massive tree that hand multitudes of sleeping pokemon around it and numerous human bodies too. He hadn’t missed that apparently this wasn’t just his dream or anything. He was about sharing spaces with people and in a dream world? No thank you.
So the farther away he got, the better. It would give him a moment to really think about the situation and whether he ought to punch himself awake or not. He’d been on the train from Slateport… so eventually he’d have to wake up on his own or one of the attendants would find him and wake him up instead. With this in mind he felt a little less concerned about missing his stop. But only a little.
Now the real question. What was up with this place? He’d wandered his way down towards what looked like a park. A pokemon themed park. A very bright and cheery and sort of flowery park. Like every piece of foliage that could be a different color from green found itself some shade of pastel. Despite the rough and jackass attitude, he didn’t have a problem with pastels (kind of liked them actually) but even this cotton candy vomit was a bit much for his tastes. Then again, he could overlook that because there happened to be the strong scent of some delicious baked goods coming from somewhere.
Was he hungry? Reese felt hungry; but then again if this was a dream, eating wouldn’t matter much now would it? Whatever. Quixote certainly had picked up on the scent, immediately perking up and throwing his arms in the air in delight. Reese had opted to put him down to let him walk on his own (child or not, Axew’s were ******** heavy); which he’d someday learn to stop doing because immediately the pokemon bolted to try and find the source of the delicious smells.
Someday the punk would learn that maybe just maybe, some Pokemon needed to stay in a pokeball. Of course, it wasn’t like he’d fished Quixote out of his ball in this place but. It didn’t even matter.
"Wha- Quixote! Come the ******** back here!" He snapped, though that didn’t do him any good. Quixote was out of grabbing range at that point and without hesitation ducked into the entrance of a hedge maze that happened to reside smack dab in the middle of the park. Great. Ginger started to give a giggle, slapping a ghostly hand over her mouth when their trainer shot her a dirty glare. Jaxston just watched uncertain about this situation, though his head was still throbbing just a bit from the fall earlier. Even in the dream world, there didn’t seem to be much of a means to escape all the chaos that came with being part of this group.
Reese grumbled and immediately busted into a sprint after the wayward pokemon. Jaxston looked startled by the sudden burst of action, as well as the young man disappeared into the maze. Uhm. Well then. He gave Ginger a weary look, considering if maybe they ought to just stay here. She didn’t miss it and let her giggle out, slapping him on the back to push him forward as indication that they ought to get moving.
Looks like they would be giving chase too. Ugh.
Reese didn’t bother to wait for the other two to catch up; he had faith that Ginger could find him if she really wanted and Jaxston. Well who actually cared about him anyway? Not Reese in the moment. There was no sign of Quixote upon entering the maze and that made this situation more harrowing. There were no signs of disturbances in the bush walls, so he hadn’t just run straight through them. WHich, Reese kind of wish he had, it’d have made looking easier.
"Quixote!" He called, head snapping about before resuming his jog through the maze. There were several entrances at the beginning and on a whim he took the left one, following it straight and then swinging right. How did he know he’d gone this way? He didn’t but at about this point, he was going to be guessing no matter what. "Quixote! The ******** did you go?" Reese called out again and this time managed to catch the tiny excited squeals of a “xew!’ not to far ahead.
Okay, maybe he had a bit of innate skill in tracking his pokemon. He sped towards the sound at top speed, rounding yet another corner as the sound got even louder. What exactly had Quixote found to have him causing all the noise? Who knew stupid dinosaur.
"Q you little f-" He started as he rounded yet another hedge corner where the noise was the loudest, ready to start bitching out the Axew the minute he saw him. His words caught in his throat though and he stumbled to a halt but immediately snapped up to attention, eyes going wide in shock

If you’d ever seen a movie where someone encounters someone or something they’d never expected to encounter; that pure shock and surprise that occurs at the moment as they realize just what they’re looking at, despite all the laws of logic suggesting it shouldn’t have been possible for it to occur, then you’d know what exactly how Reese was experiencing the moment.
Quixote stopped his excited dancing for the figure in front of him to look back at Reese as he appeared, little arms flinging into the air. "Xew!" He chimed excitedly, before the figure he’d been dancing in front of scooped him up, a gentle smile playing on her lips as she bounced him in her arms while moving to close the distance between herself and Reese. She stopped short, freeing a hand to swipe stray strand of auburn hair back towards the tousled mess of a high ponytail, that smile never wavering as bright blue eyes focused on the boy.
The world finally started moving again.
Reese had to swallow the lump that had formed in his throat, choking down what he was pretty darn certain was an attempt at a sob that tried to escape as he did. The initial shock of seeing her had faded away into a wave of emotion that he certainly was not expecting to deal with in any shape or form and he damn well didn’t want to and what was this bullshit? His struggle to form words didn’t go unnoticed of course.
"What’s wrong, Rere? Skitty got your tongue?" She inquired cheekily, adjusting a squirming Quixote in her arms once more. He certainly didn’t understand what was going on nor notice that his trainer was struggling to even speak up at this point. Reese finally managed to clear his throat and swallow the lump (that felt the size of a golf ball at the point), blinking several times just to make sure she didn’t disappear.
"... Mom?" He choked out, voice barely squeaking out the word. What was wrong with him? The woman tilted her head, smile dimming as her expression seemed to become more thoughtful. She reached a free hand out, gently running it through his hair, tossing it about a bit. Reese tensed up.
"What is this you’re doing with your hair?" She inquired thoughtfully as she ran her hand through, lightly tilting his head from side to side as she did. Her smile grew again. "I like it."
This was real. Way too real. He could feel her fingers going through his hair, the light pressure used to move his head around, just like he was dealing with a real person. In fact, the longer he stood there, the more all the things he remembered about his mom from his youth seemed to come to light. He was sure he could smell that scent she always had, the subtle cinnamon and smokey wood combo. It was soothing but also unnerving.
How was any of this possible?
"... Ho-" Reese started again, clearly at a loss for words. Quixote had calmed down in his squirming to watch the interaction, seeming to realize that his trainer was struggling to communicate. Was something the matter? The lady seemed so nice! She even reminded the little dinosaur of his trainer a bit, though with a less angry face. Anja just bounced the little dinosaur, flashing him a smile before returning her gaze to Reese. Her bright blue eyes focused in on him and watched him for a silent moment.
"It’s a dream," she finally commented softly, patting him gently on the side of the cheek before withdrawing her hand back to her side, head tilting just a bit as she continued to study the boy, "remember?"

Christian seemed...off, somehow. Jun watched him as he moved, but the only thing he could see was grogginess. It felt like he was missing something. But, he assured himself, at least his friend seemed to remember eveything, and didn't look nearly as sick as when they'd first met.
"Come on, then." Jun started down the path Christian'd indicated, keeping an eye on the looming loogie as he did. Thankfully, she seemed content to stalk them watch from afar, allowing Jun to feel slightly less on edge. He might have said something about the small menagerie Christian had following him but given Lugia's presence he really wasn't one to talk.
Well... at least if things went the way they seemed to be going, Jun probably wouldn't have to worry about Team Rocket, like... at all. He imagined pulling out his pocket lugia on his old boss. ********, that would be satisfying. He wasn't one to go searching for trouble, but now he thought he wouldn't mind it quite so much. It wasn't a feeling he could remember having since a long time ago. Looking askance at Christian, Jun thought to himself that things could change quite a bit in just a day or two.
The path they were walking on turned into a series of pastel cobblestones, large and flat like riverstones pola-dotting the ground. Jun scuffed at a large pink one to see if the color was from chalk, not worrying about getting his shoes dirty since this was a dream. No color came off, so the path was probably painted. Or, well, this was a 'dream world', right? Maybe the rocks were just naturally pale pink and blue and yellow.
In the distance, now, they could see a cheerful park right out of a little girl's dreams. Jun had to admit, the giant patch of flowers in the shape of a chikorita and dunsparce was very tasteful, if also creepy as ********. "This place could give the National Park a run for its money," Jun commented. Johto's park was not too far south of Ecruteak, but he'd visited the most when he'd been stationed in Goldenrod with Team Rocket. An early morning jog in the park, when he could get away from the base, was one of the only things that had kept him sane back then. But maybe he was remembering wrong. After all, the life he'd been living hadn't become unbearable until just a couple months before he left. Up until then, he'd he'd been tolerating it fine, just like he'd tolerated his situation for most of his life. For the first time, he felt how glad he was that he'd left. Like, holy s**t, he was genuinely enjoying himself.

Right.
A dream.
Had that fact really eluded him?
Reese’s shoulders slumped and his face flushed red in shame. He had to take a moment to try and blink the tears out of his eyes as the whirlwind of emotions continued on. He felt dumb. Really, really dumb and it made all the hurt he suddenly felt even worse. For the first time in a rather long time, he just wanted to drop down and cry. <******** that though.
Taking a deep breath and swallowing the choke worthy lump that had formed in his throat, Reese straightened his stance and eyed the dream doppelgangers. Despite his reaction (and boy, was it an obvious reaction) she hadn’t wavered in her expression. Not much anyways. At some point, her expression had gone to one of pained sympathy, which made this situation all the more awkward to address. What, did she know him much it sucked to hear that? To be reminded in a split second that you know, this was a ******** dream and she wasn’t really? That she was still very much de-
"... Right." He squeaked, wincing at the sound. Lord, was his voice cracking?” What was this, puberty? Falling silent he took another deep breath and clamped his mouth shut, instead just reaching for Quixote. The dinosaur didn’t seem at all fazed with the situation; why should he? Reese had gotten him well after his mother had passed, he didn’t jack about the woman or what this supposed dream figure even meant to his trainer.
"Geng?"
Though, that wasn’t the case for every pokemon. Reese snapped about to look at Ginger and Jaxston as the pair finally found their way through the maze. The Gengar’s eyes were wider than normal, mouth agape as she stared at the woman. Jaxston shifted his gaze from each individual, caught off guard with the situation. What was going on? Was this woman someone else who’d gotten stuck here too? Ginger had just sort of stopped like she’d seen a ghos- err… well, something unnatural.
Reese, however, knew why she’d stopped and once again felt a wave of mixed emotions flood over him again. It was awkwardly silent as he tried to choke down the lump again. He snatched Quixote from her arms, tucking him close to his chest as he turned a cold shoulder to the woman and stormed his way back towards two.
"She’s not ******** real, Ginger," he snapped. The Gengar blinked, startled and gave him a disapproving look as though he’d just insulted royalty with his words. Reese glared at her, eyes watering as he snapped a look back. "It’s just some stupid dream thing. So come on, let’s go." Not hesitating further, he stormed between Ginger and Jaxston, The Servine’s would be brow furrowing at the tension in the air. He still didn’t understand what was going on and it didn’t seem like anyone would be explaining at the moment either.
Ginger didn’t move to follow, instead of continuing to gape at the woman in awe. Reese stopped and looked back, clearly agitated. ” Ginger, come on, geez.” The ghost wasn’t that stupid and he knew it. She had to be able to tell that it was a fake. That wasn’t his mom so why was she staring at her like it was?
It was beyond upsetting. If she wanted to stare, he’d leave her too it. Reese clutched Quixote tighter to his chest and quickened his pace to return to the maze. Reese really couldn’t deal with this anymore. The sooner he found his way back out of this maze of a mess, the better.

☆ ☆【With everything more or less taken care of now between introductions and a plan in mind, Zoey was more than ready to get moving. They’d spent long enough dawdling around, and they could keep talking while they walked anyways. As they headed towards their destination, she figured she should at least introduce her Pokemon as well. Coltrane, of course, didn’t really have much to say other than a bark of general acknowledgment towards their apparent new company. Maybe he’d ease up a little towards Su Yan after they’d gotten more acquainted, but for the time being he was more than content to just keep his distance from the man. When Eir spoke up next to introduce herself, Su Yan seemed very taken aback by the Alolan Ninetales’ voice as he paused in his stride for a bit.
Zoey blinked at the bewilderment in the man’s tone as he spoke, saying that he had never heard a Pokemon speak like that before other than his mother’s Murkrow. ”Really now? There’s… actually quite a few Pokemon out there that can talk,” the woman cut in momentarily, humming thoughtfully as she explained, ”Psychic n’ Ghost types usually can talk with people through telepathy, even Ninetales like Eir here can communicate in a similar means if they know how to.” Then again, she supposed that given Su Yan was still pretty new to the whole trainer thing it was understandable that this would be a pretty foreign concept to him, not counting the whole dream world thing. And sometimes even Pokemon that were capable of communicating with humans could often be picky with who they chose to talk to, surely there were some such Pokemon out there who felt most comfortable talking with their trainer and no one else. Even so, Su Yan sighed as he seemed to just accept the idea of Pokemon being able to talk as they start walking again.
Eir’s ears perk up as the man says her name, smiling brightly as he returned the sentiment and said that she sounded like a lovely Ninetales.”Heehee~ Thank you!”she giggles, walking alongside Zoey with a bit more of a bounce in her step. When Orpheus spoke up to introduce himself next, Su Yan didn’t seem as freaked out this time. The Zoroark’s smile widens just the slightest as the man suggested that he must be a performer given his title of being an ex-haunted house curator.”Mhm, of course,”he chips in his agreement with a hum and a nod,”Being able to act and perform very well does help to really sell the scare factor of a haunted house to your clients, otherwise it would be nothing more than just an ordinary house with creepy Halloween décor everywhere, ja?”He tilted his head curiously towards the man, wondering what sort of performer he aspired to be outside of just contests.”I was a fairly avid musician and dancer as well before the whole haunted house gig, though it has… admittedly been a long, long time since I have last done any kind of musical performance,”the Zoroark explained, his grin faltering into a more sheepish expression as he rubbed the back of his neck.
As they continued walking along the path that seemed to lead towards what she hoped was the park, Zoey made small talk to keep the conversation going and perhaps learn more about her new companion in the meantime. She listens quietly as Su Yan explained that he planned on starting his coordinator career in Sinnoh, and then possibly move on from there to try out the new contest system in Kalos. ”Ah, never been to Sinnoh before, yet at least. I’ve heard it’s pretty nice there,” she chipped in, offering a warm smile, ”Didn’t know they’d implemented a new system in Kalos, though… Then again, that’s one o’ the few regions I ain’t really familiar with.” That and she’d technically only been to Kalos at least once because that’s where the Spookival had been, though maybe she might actually take some time to really explore the region proper in the near future. There were some gyms there that she was hoping to get to… Su Yan went on to say that it’ll likely be a long process to learn the ropes of how contests work, but he was willing to do it in spite of his shortcomings. It had been what he had wanted to do ever since he was young. ”Yeah, I imagine it’ll take some time to really get used to the whole system n’ whatnot, but definitely get in practice when ya can,” she agreed, nodding to him with a bright grin, ”But hey, it definitely sounds like ya’ve got yer goals pretty set for yerself, and that yer willin’ to go for it in spite of whatever obstacles that’ll come up is pretty admirable! And definitely more than can be said for a lot o’ people out there.”
She chuckled softly at that, it definitely seemed that Su had his life more or less figured out than she did. Maybe one of these days she might actually find what it was that she wanted to come out of this Pokemon journey, but until then… she supposed she was fine with just going wherever the wind and her desires took her. Being able to meet and perhaps even befriend a variety of different characters along the way was just a nice little bonus. The woman simply shrugged at Su Yan’s comment about it being nice if Johto could possibly implement a contest system as well. ”Yeah, well it could be pretty possible, ya never really know,” she remarked, narrowing her eyes somewhat in thought, ”From what I can tell coordinatin’ seems to be a pretty popular career choice for trainers nowadays, so maybe there’s a chance contests will start becomin’ more of a widespread thing like gyms.” Zoey gave a short nod as he said that he’d just focus on learning the basics for now, and that he wouldn’t mind shadowing her in the meantime. ”Sure, I’d be glad to. Don’t know how good I’ll be as a teacher since I’ve never really done anythin’ like this before, but I’ll at least try my best,” she offered with a light laugh, turning her eyes back to the path up ahead as the mist gradually started to clear before them.
As the fog that seemed to cover much of the landscape around the central clearing of the dream world, Zoey blinked when she saw that the path led into what seemed to be a fairly large garden maze of some sort.”Ah, I probably forgot to mention that there was a sort of maze leading into this place,”Orpheus spoke up, chuckling sheepishly at his realization,”On the bright side, however, it seemed all the paths here lead to the same endpoint from what I saw. So getting lost along the way should not be too much of an issue.”Huh, well that was certainly good to know, even though that really should’ve been mentioned at least five minutes earlier. ”It definitely looks pretty safe so far from what I can see. Feels quite peaceful here, actually…” she said quietly, taking a deep breath.
Almost immediately the strong floral scents emanating from the clusters of flowers around them tickled her senses, some leaving only a light impression before fading while others strongly lingered for much longer. ”Hmm… smells like… lilacs?” she pondered as she caught wind of a certain scent that was very familiar with her. Lilacs had been her grandmother Jonquil’s favorite flowers, and the big tree in her yard was always a beautiful sight when they’d gone up to visit her during the summertime. The smell always took her back to those days, when she’d spend those warm, balmy afternoons playing around in her grandmother’s yard and resting in the shade of the big tree when she tired herself out. The scent of lilacs was always heavy in the air on those days, and she’d slowly drift off and daydream while she gazed up and admired the clusters of pretty purple flowers drooping from the branches above.
Eir sniffed at the air curiously, her ears perking up in excitement as a much different scent other than flowers caught her attention.”Smells like someone’s baking cookies!”she declared, her tone giddy and eager like a kid seeing their presents on Christmas morning. Orpheus couldn’t help chuckling amusedly at his nine-tailed teammates’ elation.”Well, I did happen to see what looked like a bakery or café of some sort at the end of this maze, perhaps we could stop there to grab a bite to eat when we reach it,”he suggested, smirking as the proposal only seemed to incite Eir’s enthusiasm that much more.”Ohhh now I really wanna! Oh can we, Zoey? Can we, pleeeeaaaase?”the ice fox begged, tilting her head cutely towards the woman as she activated her secret weapon: big puppy dog eyes. Brought out of her thoughts, the woman chuckled as she gave a mock exasperated sigh at the look Eir was giving her. ”Oh alright, princess, we’ll get some treats for ya when we get there,” she relented, hands up in a surrendering gesture, ”Suppose it’s the least I owe ya after that lil’ scare earlier.”
For now, though, she should focus on teaching Su Yan what he’d need to know for his Pokemon journey while they were walking around in this maze area. ”Right, so the first thing we should probably start with is how to catch a Pokemon, yeah?” she suggested as she turned her attention back to her blind companion, ”Even though yer gonna mostly be doin’ contests n’ coordinator stuff, I imagine ya’d still need to be able to catch n’ add more new Pokemon to yer team as ya go ‘bout yer journey.” She scans the area thoughtfully, noting the movement and presence of Pokemon among the bushes and flowers. A pair of Flabebe drifted through the air above a patch of pretty red blossoms, Combee busily buzzed around from flower to flower collecting nectar, and she caught a brief glimpse of the hand-shaped tail of an Aipom just before it disappeared into a tree. ”’Course that means ye’ll have to battle and weaken ‘em as much as ya can first before tryin’ to catch ‘em, that’s usually how it is when it comes to wild Pokemon,” she continued, ”I mean, there are some Pokemon out there that’ll be happy to join yer team without much of a fight, but those kinda encounters don’t really happen too often…”
She paused momentarily as her eyes caught on what looked like a stray bag hanging off of a tree nearby, did someone happen to leave this here? Humming thoughtfully, she reached up and carefully plucked the bag from the branch, it was… actually a fair bit heavy with whatever was inside it. Opening it up, she blinked in awe upon realizing that its contents held a set of three strange looking dark red Pokeballs sitting atop a modest-sized stash of rare candies. Huh, well ain’t that a lucky find! Well, if someone had actually left all this behind for some reason, it didn’t look like anyone else had come to claim it. So… she might as well take these with her, surely there wasn’t any harm in it, right? As she tucked the little stash into her own bag, she thought she heard a squeaky sounding giggle from somewhere up in the tree followed by a rush of leaves as whatever it was quickly ran off.】☆ ☆

Even with a rather rational explanation, the whole talking pokemon thing was going to take some getting used too. At least, with his disability, he could pretend they were simple humans, like himself or Miss Zoey and avoid having to spend too much time continuing to wrap his head around yet another new concept. So instead he listened to the accented voice explain his love of performance and nodded along to it. "Dancing is nice. That is how the Kimono girls at the theatre performances, they are rather good at it." he chimes to the Zoroark as Drunken Fist gives a few sniffs in the pokemon's general direction, trying to figure out more of what it was all about. After that Su Yan nods along as Zoey speaks her part on is ambitions, she didn't sound condescending or like she was humoring him. It was a rare bit of genuine admiration, and, something he would hopefully hold onto going forward. As they walk the pressure lifted from his shoulders and the once thick air had thinned out some. So they had crossed some form of barrier out of the area they had been and passed into another. Most likely, this park Zoey had been mentioning.
Immediately the small was rather overpowering, having just come from a place with heavy air and a mostly humid smell the aroma of flowers and sweet scents of what was most likely the inhabiting pokemon was like a punch to his rather sensitive nose. However it was also clear that now they were in pokemon territory, and he's suddenly pleased more than ever to have an experienced trainer at his side. The idea of wild pokemon was still a frightening one after all. But for the moment they were relegated to noises like gentle cries, beating of wings and the rustling of bushes. These noises he would keep in the back of his mind now that he needed to be a bit more alert, even if the pokemon that would live in a park were most likely not the most aggressive one could stumble upon.
"H-How to catch a pokemon." Oh, he hadn't even thought about that! but it made sense. even if Drunken Fist and Happy were both amazing at contests there was no way they could cover every ribbon, every category... so it did seem like a good place to start. Zoey explains the process a bit more in-depth and that word comes up. Battle. A little color drains from Su Yan's face at the mention of it and his discomfort is rather clear. "ah-.. battle you say?" so he was going to end up facing just about every apprehension head-on, wasn't he? Not to mention even without his fears he had no idea how battles worked. While he was prolific in watching (Or listening) to contest broadcasts he never watched the league tournaments. The most exposure he had to such things was the occasional trainers battling somewhere in town, which he usually avoided, or when Drunken Fist took the initiative to frighten off vermin. He brings his free hand to scratch around the bottom of the burn scars disfiguring the top half of his face. He had to swallow his pride a bit here. He needed help and being open was s good way to be clear with what he needed. "I uh... to be honest with you Zoey battling sort of scares me... " he hoped she could perhaps offer insight or other advice to calm his nerves so he didn't feel the need to give up, or try his luck with just there two.
No. no he can't do that. As much as he was afraid if he let the fear rule him he would never grow! right?.... right? Right.
"But I'll give it a go. I trust Drunken Fist, he would never hurt me" or let some territorial Spearow do the same. Speaking of Drunken Fist, he stops walking prompting Su Yan to do the same. It seemed Zoey had paused in her traveling allowing the group to take in the scenery, while he heard the noises of leaves rustling and what was probably a cloth bag Drunken Fist sniffed around. Happy seemed interested in the area as well, and now that they were stationary he slowly made his way off Su Yan's shoulder and onto the ground, where he awkwardly waddled to the bushes and started poking around with his long nose. Snuffing and snorting, before starting to dig a little bit with his small paws.
Zoey seems to giggle (was that who did it? it didn't sound like her but who else was here) and the tree above them rustled and sent a few leaves falling onto his shoulders. "Zoey? What is it?" even Drunken Fist seems to have seen something and pulls him a little closer to the tree, propping front paws upon it as he barks at the mysterious benefactor.

☆ ☆【Zoey could tell that Su Yan was still somewhat confused even with her attempting to rationalize the whole talking Pokemon concept, but it appeared he decided to simply accept it as it was for the time being. As they kept walking, a small smile crossed her lips as she listened idly to Orpheus and Su striking up a bit of conversation. Su Yan certainly seemed like the type of person who knew a lot about and held a deep appreciation for the arts, and in a way the Zoroark was pretty similar too. Orpheus smiled and nodded along as the man said that dancing was nice, and that was how the Kimono Girls at the theater performed.”Oh, I would certainly believe so! They sound like quite a fine group of ladies, perhaps myself and my dear Fraulein might be lucky to meet them and watch them perform someday,”the Zoroark said with a chuckle, admiration coloring his voice,”I admittedly grew up learning certain styles of dance that are surely quite different from theirs. But… perhaps watching them and their dances will help to bring back the muse that I have been missing for a very long time now.”
Zoey smiles as she offers her words on Su Yan’s dreams and ambitions of being a coordinator and performer, the man seeming fairly pleased with her admiration and gentle encouragement. She had to admit that it truly was inspiring to see someone willing to push themselves to live out their childhood dreams in spite of their trauma and shortcomings, maybe one of these days she could catch Su during a contest and watch him perform. Huh, funny… hadn’t she said the same exact thing to Mitsu back at the Spookival? Gradually the mist on the path ahead of them cleared, giving way to what appeared to be a very large Pokemon themed garden maze. Immediately the smell of various flowers assaulted her nose, and she could see quite a few different kinds of Pokemon as they moved among the flowers and rustled around in the trees and bushes all around them. As serene as this place seemed, they probably ought to be much more wary now that they were in what could technically be wild Pokemon territory. So far, Zoey couldn’t see anything in particular that seemed like it could be a threat.
After a momentary distraction and a promise to Eir that they would get her some sweet treats when they reached the bakery place that Orpheus had described at the end of the maze, the woman turned her focus back on teaching some of the basics of being a trainer to her blind companion. She kept her eye on him as she went on to explain more about catching Pokemon, which was probably the most important part when it came down to being a Pokemon trainer. Of course, even though an aspiring coordinator like Su wouldn’t be doing anything like battling gyms for badges, he would surely want to expand his team to be able to cover more of the necessary bases when it came to contests. However, the moment she brought up having to battle wild Pokemon, she immediately noticed the way the blind man’s face paled as he hesitantly inquired about battling. Ah, right, given that he was just starting out she should’ve figured that Su Yan likely had very little if any experience at all with battling. She hummed softly and listened as he hesitantly admitted that battling was a bit scary to him, but quickly added that he was willing to give it a go and that he trusted Drunken Fist to not hurt him.
”Yeah, I kinda get that, but one of the main things when it comes to battlin’ is to trust n’ have faith in yer Pokemon. They’ll do whatever it takes to help ya and ensure no harm comes to ya,” she said with a confident nod, ”And even if ya don’t necessarily trust my Pokemon, which is understandable really, believe me when I say they’re willin’ to help protect ya too. They wouldn’t ever go out of their way to hurt anyone on purpose, much less someone who’s a friend…” She drew in a breath, offering a warm smile towards her companion alongside her reassuring words. She would’ve reached out to give him a gentle pat on the back as well, but decided against it for the time being. It was then that a sudden noise from nearby caught her attention, and she turned to notice a bag of some kind hanging on a tree nearby. Upon retrieving the bag, assessing its contents, and stowing it away, she looked up abruptly as a small squeaking giggle sounded from somewhere above followed by a rush of leaves as it immediately darted away. ”Hm?” she inquired as she looked back to Su Yan at his question, ”Uh, I’m not sure… Looked like someone left a bag in this tree here, didn’t look like anyone else had claimed it so I thought I’d take it. Not sure whose it is, but seemed whoever left it there just took off.” She glanced down as Drunken Fist moved closer to the tree, placing his paws upon the trunk and barking up at the mysterious creature that had just vanished into the treetops. ”I’m startin’ to think maybe they left it there on purpose… It’s got some pretty good stuff in it, so maybe they’re tryin’ to be helpful?” she suggested thoughtfully. Well, whatever the reason might have been, she wasn’t one to look a gift Ponyta in the mouth.
”Right, well anyways, another big thing ye’ll need to know ‘bout battlin’ is type matchups. Those’ll take some time to figure out, but once ya get the hang of it it’ll be no problem at all,” she went on, putting them back on the topic at hand as she glanced around once more, ”Like, for example, Grass types are weak against Fire, but strong against Water, Fire is strong against Grass but weak against Water, n’ vice versa. Seems a lot o’ the Pokemon ‘round here are Bug, Fairy, or Normal types… Knowin’ Meleeon are part Fightin' type, they’d usually be strong against Normal but weak against Fairy. Meanwhile, a Fire type like Cyndaquil would be a handy fighter against Bug types.” Zoey pursed her lips somewhat as a thought came to mind. ”Although… given that this is a dream world, it’s possible that type matchups that’d otherwise be effective in the real world might function differently here… Suppose the only way to really know for sure is by actually tryin’ a battle here,” she suggested, taking her bag off her back and starting to rummage around for something that could maybe be used to attract a wild Pokemon. Maybe she could try to lure something out with food or something else that might be appealing? Suddenly, her fingers brushed up against something smooth and glass-like, something that she didn’t recall ever having in her bag before until now. Wrapping her fingers around it, she blinked in mild confusion as the thing in question seemed to be a flute of some kind with a round base and a long stem tapering into a thin mouthpiece. It shone a dull black under the light, so light that it actually looked more like a light shade of gray.
”Hmm… Hey, Su Yan, I’m gonna try blowin’ on this flute, just be ready for anythin’ that might pop out at us, aight?” she said, figuring she should at least give him a warning in case what she was trying to do ended up being very dangerous. After making sure her companion was in position to be prepared for any dangers, Zoey carefully brought the flute to her mouth and blew into it. A low, deep droning sound emanated from the instrument, sounding more like she was playing a bass instrument rather than an actual flute. The note echoed off in the distance for a few moments after she stopped playing it, the clearing around them seeming to have gone very quiet as if in anticipation. Coltrane’s ears perked up as he lowered his head, a low growl in his throat as he eyed the immediate area. Seconds turned into a minute, then two, and still nothing particularly odd had happened after she’d blown the flute. ”Huh… guess it didn’t work after-“ before she could finish, however, her attention was caught by Coltrane as the Lycanroc suddenly stood to attention and snapped his head towards the bushes nearby. He could hear something… a distant buzzing noise that was gradually growing louder, and louder, and louder. Then…”Look out!”he barked out, just as the source of the sound made its presence known in the form of a large male Heracross that burst out of the brush at them.
Immediately the Lycanroc jumped into action, leaping forth at the charging blue beetle and meeting its horn head-on with the sharp rock that jutted out from the top of his own mane as the Bug-type brought its weapon down upon him with a chopping strike. With a grunt, the blow seeming to have annoyed the wolf more than it had actually hurt him, Coltrane pushed his weight against the Heracross and managed to shove it away. ”Right, Iron Tail, Coltrane!” Zoey called out, managing to shake off the momentary shock and taking control of the fight. More than happy to oblige, the Lycanroc snarled as he darted at the Bug type, taking advantage of it still staggering from his hearty shove as his tail glistened with a metallic sheen and he swung it heavily at his foe. The Heracross grunted as it took the blow, shaking it off easily enough as it felt its carapace hardening ever so slightly from the aftereffects of the attack. Seeing as its Brick Break earlier barely did any damage to the wolf, the beetle Pokemon decided to take a different approach. Its large horn glowed an ominous deep purple as dark energies gathered around it, and with a defiant cry it smashed its prized weapon into the Lycanroc’s vulnerable flank. Coltrane’s eyes widened as a yelp of obvious pain escaped him, taking the full brunt of the blow and a lot more damage than he had expected. ”s**t… Try usin’ bite!” Zoey ordered, gritting her teeth a bit as the Heracross managed to get in a hard-hitting critical strike.
Shaking off the attack, Coltrane lashed out and grabbed hold of the Heracross’s horn with his teeth. That seemed to be the ticket, as the blue beetle gave a low cry that obviously meant that his attack had really gotten it. Putting every ounce of strength into it, the Lycanroc swung his head and launched the Bug type a good distance away from him. The attack had clearly been strong enough to deal the finishing blow, the blue horned beetle giving a final weak cry as it hit the ground about a foot away and fainted. Wasting no time, Zoey quickly grabbed one of the new Pokeballs she had acquired minutes earlier and hurled it at the fainted Heracross.
The ball struck and opened up, a bright beam of red energy pulling the big Bug type inside. Sealing shut around its catch, the ball fell to the ground below, wiggling once… twice… thrice… Until finally a sharp clicking noise sounded in the air, signaling that the Heracross had successfully been caught. ”Arceus… Seemed that went pretty well in spite of everythin'… Ya alright, Colt?” Zoey asked with a tinge of concern in her voice, rushing to scoop up the ball now containing the newly captured Heracross and attend to her Lycanroc, who was still doing pretty alright even after taking a really heavy hit from his opponent.”’m fine, juth- just got a few s-scratches here and there is all,”the Lycanroc murmured as he gave a soft grateful huff, leaning in to gently nuzzle against the woman as she pulled potions out of her bag and immediately went to work spraying him down.】☆ ☆

Her explanation made some sense, some of it anyway. A fire burned plants and water put out a fire. So that made a good bit of sense. though he was sure the more abstract types would be quite a bit to learn and memorize. Though, hopefully, it would be forgiving enough to allow him to make some mistakes while he learned to ropes. The last thing he wanted was for one of his Pokemon to suffer due to his incompetence in battle. Inexperience was no excuse for causing someone pain after all. Though even with her wise words about Happy maybe being the best bet for battling in an area like this, Su Yan was pretty certain he wanted Drunken Fist to be pokemon he used for his first battle. He trusted the meleeon the most so it would be the easiest way to ease him into this whole battle system.
"I appreciate all the advice." he did and felt somewhat safer after her affirmation that not only would Drunken Fist protect him should things go south, but her pokemon would too. Perhaps it was an unfounded fear, or more so an irrational one. Of course, he had reason to be afraid. the Trauma he suffered from he Charizard was more than enough to make someone fear pokemon for the rest of their lives.
But he knew not all pokemon were like that. At least on a conscious, rational level. But fear wasn't rational, it was anything but, and it resulted in a voice constantly telling him to be afraid. That pokemon wanted to hurt him, that he wasn't safe. It was something he was working on with actual professional help. but he had made progress since then...
Zoey pulls something out of her bag, saying she was going to use it. Be ready for anything that might pop out? He takes a few steps away from the bushes, this time leading Drunken Fist instead of the other way around. He almost forgets about Happy as the sound plays (a strange, unnerving sound) until the Pokemon comes running out of the brush with something clasped in its tiny paws.
"Quil! Quil!" Happy chirps up at his new trainer, holding out the item as if to show it off. It takes a moment for Su Yan to crouch down and grope for the pokemon a moment before his palm makes contact with its head. Happy leans into the touch before moving to press the rough-skinned fruit into Su Yan's palm. The item intrigues him, rough-skinned, rather round, maybe a bit hard. The skin had a few divets in it and, when sniffed it smelled pretty pleasant. so it seemed like Happy had found fruit and brought it over wanting praise. "Very good Happy this is-" he's cut off by the sudden commotion before him. all he can manage to make out was the clashing of something. Both things hard but making distinct sounds. It only escalates from there, between the sounds of clashing rocks and horns he can hear Zoey barking commands. Short. Simple commands probably intended to save time. He has no idea the type of foe she is facing and can make guesses off what sounded like the clicking chitin and fluttering of insectoid wings. However, it is over almost as fast as it began leaving the place bathed in a simple loud hum as the poke ball makes its capture.
Then, Silence. Well, momentary silence.
Seeing as the threat was gone Su Yan could find himself moving again, and approaches Zoey, though keeping a safe distance, cautious of the worn-out and probably pumped up pokemon. She must be healing him, the distinct antiseptic smell hit his nose almost harder then the smells of flowers and honey had upon first entering this place, and he's still left rather speechless as he tries to understand how he feels about this whole ordeal that just played out before him. A fight. No one was seriously hurt, at least, not that he thought. Zoey would probably be more vocal about it had someone been seriously injured, after all.
"That went by... fast." he finally manages to say, keeping ears perked for any other rustling bushes or strange pokemon cries that may be drawn to the sound of the flute she had played. Tentatively he gets a little closer, eventually dropping to his knees. Movements are excruciatingly slow as if he was concerned about starling the Lycanroc. Once positioned heard the animal(as close as he thinks he can be) he reaches into his bag to find one of those potions the professor had given him. It takes him several moments to figure out the cap, ending in him spraying himself for a split second, before he had it all figured out. "Let me help- it's good to practice." and adds his own medicine to Zoey's. "I guess... that wasn't too bad," he comments to her, though of course witnessing a battle and participating in one were two different beasts, it was a small victory he would take for now.

☆ ☆【Zoey took careful note of the changes in Su Yan’s expression at her explanation, taking a moment to process the information as it was presented to him and it starting to click in his head. Of course, the Fire-Water-Grass example was by all means a fairly simple way of demonstrating type matchups. It would probably take some time and practice to really get the hang of some of the more complex type matchups, but seeing as the Pokemon in this park place seemed fairly docile overall maybe this wouldn’t be so bad for a beginner like Su Yan to get in some practice. Well, at the very least she would certainly hope so… While his Cyndaquil was likely his best bet for battling in a place like this, she had a feeling that maybe Su would be more comfortable with using Drunken Fist first. Given that the Meleeon was his guide Pokemon and they had been together the longest, it was only natural that he would want to entrust his most trustworthy Pokemon partner with his first battle.
She smiled and nodded as he thanked her for the advice, the man seeming more relaxed and at ease than before. ”No problem, it’s the least I can do, really,” she said simply with a shrug. It still felt somewhat odd for her to actually be teaching someone about being a trainer, but she certainly appreciated Su Yan listening closely and paying attention to what she was saying. Of course, there was also still the matter of not knowing if Pokemon battles in this world worked similarly or different as they would in real life. Well, there was only one way to be able to find out for sure. Taking a moment to scavenge around in her bag for something that could maybe be used to attract a wild Pokemon so they could learn a bit more about how this strange world functions, she blinked momentarily as she fished out a strange flute made out of what looked like black glass. She wasn’t entirely sure how this had gotten into her bag because she sure as hell didn’t remember it being in there before… Maybe that same mysterious creature who’d given her the bag of stuff earlier had snuck it in somehow? Well, anyways… she remembered hearing about these flutes, how some cured a Pokemon’s status ailments upon being played while others summoned a wild Pokemon to the player’s location. She had forgotten which ones did what, though… but just in case this flute happened to be one that summoned a Pokemon she at least wanted to make sure Su Yan wouldn’t be in the crossfire if one did pop out at them.
A quick warning to her companion, who took a few precautionary steps back away from the nearby bushes to her relief, Zoey blew out a low, droning bass note from the instrument that seemed to cause all other noise in the clearing around them to cease. Suddenly, a cheerful chirping breaks through the momentary silence as Happy comes running towards Su with an Oran berry in his little paws, which he immediately offers to his trainer. A smile crosses the woman’s lips as the blind man praises the little fire mouse, only for the moment to be cut short by the sudden arrival of a Heracross that burst in through the brush to answer the call of her flute. Coltrane wastes no time immediately engaging this new foe, blows were exchanged as Zoey called out orders to her Lycanroc and the big blue horned beetle fought back with all of its might. Quickly enough, however, the Heracross is defeated and immediately captured, much to the woman’s relief as she blew out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. Wasting no time, she collected her new catch from the ground and tucked it onto her belt with all her other Pokeballs before turning her attention to Coltrane. The Lycanroc was panting somewhat with exertion and lingering pain from that brutal Night Slash attack, but otherwise he hardly looked any worse for wear. Well, considering that had been her first battle in this unknown, uncharted territory, that hadn’t actually been as bad as she’d expected.
Pulling potions out of her bag, Zoey immediately sprays the medicine over the worst of Coltrane’s wounds first, only barely noticing Su Yan approaching them as she focuses most of her attention on her Lycanroc. For a long few moments or maybe longer, no one says anything between Su trying to process what had just taken place and Zoey busily tending to Coltrane’s wounds… Finally, the blind man breaks the silence, remarking how quickly it had gone by while remaining wary of any other wild Pokemon that may come their way. ”Heh, well Coltrane’s a pretty tough cookie, would take a bit more than a few strong hits to take him down,” she remarks with a soft chuckle, tucking away an expended bottle of potion away into her bag and pulling out another, ”Still, that Heracross was actually pretty strong…” Which was very concerning the more she mulled it over, especially since Su Yan was still a beginner and his Pokemon most likely wouldn’t be able to handle an opponent like that. She was certainly starting to think twice about this being a good place for the man to get in some practice, especially if all the Pokemon here were anywhere near as strong as that Heracross had been.
Her eyes flickered over as Su Yan gets closer, dropping to his knees as he tentatively crawls towards her and Coltrane. The Lycanroc makes no move to growl, bark, or snap at the man, instead cautiously watching him with his furtive green gaze and his head lowered as the blind man gradually drew nearer and nearer. Zoey keeps a hand rested on the rock wolf’s head, gently stroking him to help keep him calm as Su crawls close enough to at least reach him and reaches into his bag to retrieve a potion as well. The woman barely holds back an amused chuckle as the man ends up accidentally spraying the medicine on himself after taking a bit to figure out how to work the cap of the bottle, before finally getting it at the right angle and adding his medicinal spray to the one Zoey was administering. As Su Yan spoke, saying to let him help and that it was good to practice, the wary look in Coltrane’s eyes gradually softens as the words register to him.”O-Okay…”the Lycanroc murmured, closing his eyes and letting his head rest up against Zoey’s arm as the pair tended to him, being mindful to not accidentally poke or scratch her with the sharp rocks in his mane.
Zoey gave a small smile and a grateful nod to Su Yan. ”Thanks for the help, I’m sure Colt really appreciates it too,” she said with a hum of recognition, chuckling softly as he mentioned that it hadn’t seemed too bad, ”Well, spectatin’ a battle n’ actually bein’ in a battle are pretty different, but yeah, I’m sure it’ll be fairly easy once ya really start gettin’ into the swing o’ things.”
She pursed her lips a bit as a thought came to mind, remembering what she had observed during the battle against that Heracross. ”I did notice a few odd things durin’ that fight, though. That Brick Break attack the Heracross used first would’ve normally dealt a lotta damage to a Rock type like Coltrane, yet somehow it actually didn’t seem to affect him that much at all,” she commented, her eyes narrowing a little, ”On the flipside, Coltrane’s Bite actually did a pretty devastatin’ amount of damage when it would’ve otherwise been resisted by a Fightin’ type like Heracross. Seems to me that the type matchups are reversed somehow in this dream world… I ain't sure if that was just a one time thing or not, but that definitely sounds like somethin’ we oughta keep well in mind if we’re gonna be here for a while…”
With that said, she gave Coltrane one last dose of potion until he looked right as rain, nodding affirmatively to their handiwork as she slowly straightened herself back to her feet. ”Right, think Colt’s about at full health now, ya need a hand to get up or are ya good?” she spoke, chipping in the brief question as she moved to help Su back to his feet in case he might need it but staying back a bit if he could indeed handle it himself, ”So how’re ya feelin’, Su Yan? Think yer ‘bout ready to try givin’ battlin’ a go yerself?” Now feeling much better, Coltrane slowly lifted himself back up, shaking himself off a bit and shifting his paws a bit as his energy came back to him. Turning towards Su Yan, the Lycanroc blinked as he seemed to assess the man for a moment. Then, steadily stepping a bit closer, the wolf leaned in and gently nuzzled against Su Yan’s hand, giving it a couple light licks before the Lycanroc pulled away and huffed softly at the man in gratitude. It was a silent gesture of goodwill, a wordless offer for what might hopefully become a budding friendship between them. Of course, even if Su didn’t exactly reciprocate the sentiment, he had so far established himself to be quite trustworthy in Coltrane’s eyes, which was enough for the rock wolf as far as he was concerned. The Lycanroc could only hope that he wouldn’t come to regret that choice later down the line…】☆ ☆

The potions smelled horrid and he quite hated the smell but at least attempting to heal the pokemon was the least he could do. It wasn’t right to stand idly by, after all. Even if Zoey was amused at his misfortune of spraying himself with it (dooming the smell to follow him for the rest of the day, for sure.) Coltrane didn’t seem to mind his closeness, or, if he did it wasn’t acted on and it allowed Su Yan to work with Zoey in effectively halving the healing time. The battle was over and Su Yan can breathe, they all can. He had a sort of confidence in him now, he could probably do a battle, though, hopefully, the pokemon he faced wasn’t as brutal as the one Coltrane had faced. That would easily destroy his pokemon, and facing a brutal defeat on one’s first attempt at battling would set a rather bleak outlook for the rest of his journey.
When his potion was expended it seemed the lycanroc was healed enough to not need anymore, so he puts the empty bottle back into his bag to recycle later. “Your welcome” he replies to her thanks, only half-listening to her talking about the strangeness of type matchups in this world. Most of it didn’t make sense to him because Su Yan didn’t know the type matchups other than the basic starter types Zoey had previously told to him. So he simply nods through it to at least let her know he can hear her. But with Coltrane, all healed up Zoey gets to her feet and asks him if he needs help to do the same. “Hmm… okay” he fishes for her hand a moment before using it to pull himself to his feet, then brushes the dust off his clothing. However, as he’s doing this hand touches fur. He hadn’t been expecting this and nearly jumps out of his skin. Before realizing it must be Coltrane. So carefully he lowers his hand again only to find it being licked. He’s not sure how to feel about that and wipes his hand on his hakama.
“Your welcome” he manages, hoping that it was the correct response for that sort of thing. With the encounter over it was suddenly much quieter and they were able to move forward a bit. The air was nice and Su Yan was starting to enjoy the environment. He passes under a tree and something falls and hits his head. He has to reach up and rub on his head before Drunken Fist sniffs at the item that had fallen. Su Yan crouches to see what it is when something jumped down, squawking like all get out. The bird Pokemon startles Su yan and he scrambles backward as it sets one foot on the item and beats his wings, trying to scare the party away from its treasure.
He’s left catching his breath, startled and afraid, Drunken Fist next to him barks at the Pokemon and it takes a moment for it to dawn on Su Yan that this was a Pokemon encounter. A Pokemon battle. Carefully he reaches over to unbuckle Drunken Fist from his harness, then reaches into his pocket for his pokegear. He had heard somewhere these things kept track of the moves a pokemon registered to you knew. “B-Battle screen?” he tried, voice still shaking a bit, but the command seems to register, pulling up a screen. “Battle Screen Loaded” the calming robotic voice chimed back. The wild Chatot crows one final time before taking a charge peak first at Su Yan, an attack Drunken Fist blocks with its own body.
Drunken Fist growls but the move don’t seem to affect him too much as Su Yan finally gets his bearings at taps at the screen in the hopes of actually finding out what combative moves his pokemon even know. “Sand attack. The Pokemon throws sand at the attacker, making its aim poorer” the machine spat back and time was of the essence and, from a strategic standpoint it seemed like a good option. So he found his voice finally.
“Use sand attack-... uh please” Drunken Fist responds with a simple bark and turns on his front paws so the back ones can kick dust and debris at Chatot, who simply guards its face with its wings and just seems to become angrier. With flourish Chatot snaps her wings back open and charges again, pecking at Drunken Fist again. This one compounds with the last. “Eon!” Drunken Fist barks in pain as Su Yan is desperately tapping to find a move that could be of more use than the failed sand attack. He falls onto dig and is pressed for time so he speaks over the mechanical voice giving a move description “Try dig!” Drunken Fist hears him and with amazing speed manages to burrow underground.
With the pokemon gone from it’s sight Chatot is visibly frustrated and starts flapping her wings like crazy, letting off high pitched cries and annoying noises in quick succession (some even mimicking some uncanny valley form of human speech) it’s super effective, at least to poor Su Yan who’s forced to drop his pokegear and throw hands over his ears in hopes of at least dulling the sounds assaulting his over-sensitive ears. After a moment the ground from under chatot turns soft, who’s too focused on kicking up an absolute racket to notice at the head of the meleeon pop out from under the ground and take a hit. The hit seemed to work, maybe too well as suddenly the racket is gone. Pleased with his work Drunken Fist grabs the item this pokemon had been so viciously protecting and holds onto it for the time being as a spoil of its first official trainer battle, something that despite being roughed up seemed to have the pokemon ecstatic.
Su Yan slowly gets himself up, what was the next step here? Zoey was watching him and he wanted to make sure he showed that he had been listening… oh right. Catching. He doubted his abilities to throw a Pokeball so instead, he takes the moments he needs to collect himself (and the fallen Pokegear) and get to his feet to approach the fainted Chatot with Drunken Fist’s guidance. Whereupon he pulls out a premier ball (first Pokeball he found in his bag, and both versions felt the same) and fumbles with it until he finds the button.
Chatot is pulled inside and is captured with little resistance.
Leaving Su Yan in a state of slight shock as he still processes what had just happened.
He had battled and he had won…
“I-... We’re okay.”

☆ ☆【Zoey certainly didn’t mind the rather strong, antiseptic-like smell of the potions that much, having gotten pretty used to it from giving her Pokemon repeat post-battle treatments quite regularly. Still, she couldn’t imagine how much worse it probably was for Su, given that his lack of sight was compensated in part by a sharpened sense of smell. Of course she couldn’t help but be somewhat amused by him accidentally spraying some of the stuff all over himself while trying to fiddle around with it, keeping a close eye on Coltrane and maintaining calming contact as he warily kept an eye on the man. Between their combined efforts, it took a lot less time for the Lycanroc to be fully healed. Zoey hummed quietly as Su Yan reciprocated her thanks with a ‘You’re welcome’, a bit surprised that he was willing to take her up on her offer of helping him to his feet but following suit nonetheless. Taking his hand into a firm hold as he take a moment to really figure out where it was, their combined efforts easily helped him up to his feet. A soft laugh escaped the woman’s lips as Coltrane nuzzled and licked the man’s hand, who seemed a bit unsure of what to make of it as he wipes it off. ”Heh, looks like Colt’s startin’ to take a likin’ to ya,” she remarked with a grin, ”Clearly ya must be doin’ somethin’ right~” If the Lycanroc was at all offended by Su’s gesture he didn’t show it, simply giving a soft bark of pleased satisfaction as he padded a bit of a ways ahead of them.
With the heat of the moment long since passed, they proceeded onwards. Zoey noticed the faint smell of what she assumed was baking bread in the distance gradually growing stronger as they kept walking, and she faintly wondered just how large this maze area was. Aside from that encounter with the Heracross earlier, the place overall actually felt rather peaceful… She could imagine just sitting and relaxing on a park bench in a place like this, watching the breeze ruffle the leaves in the trees and the Combee happily going about their business as they fluttered from flower to flower. However, it didn’t take long for the peaceful atmosphere to be disrupted as she caught sight of something falling out of a tree and hitting Su Yan on the head. ”Ya alright there?” she asked, turning to glance at him momentarily to check for any visible bumps. Seemed whatever it was hadn’t been so heavy as to leave any noticeable mark, but before anyone could get a good look at it a loud, squawking mass of feathers leapt down from the tree and on top of the thing. The creature, which she now realizes is a Chatot upon getting a good look at it, beats its wings and caws at them as it stands protectively over the item. Zoey quickly takes a few steps back as Su scrambles out of the way, Coltrane moving to stand between them and the irate bird, glaring hard at it with his stony green gaze and lips pulled into a snarl.
Zoey immediately looks over to check on Su Yan, who takes a moment to catch his breath before Drunken Fist barks and snaps him into the moment. Getting the idea that this was clearly a wild Pokemon encounter, the man unbuckles the Meleeon from his harness in preparation to fight and grabs his Pokegear. The woman quietly stands by, watching the man as he speaks to the device and it pulls up a battle screen as per his request (or question, more like). Coltrane backs up a bit to give Drunken Fist more space, the Meleeon clearly prepared to fight as he squared off against the Chatot. The bird moves quickly, sweeping forward and slamming its beak into the Fighting type, an attack that doesn’t seem to really do much at all in terms of damage. As Su Yan fumbles around a little with his Pokegear trying to pull up a list of his Pokemon’s moves, Zoey can’t help but be impressed by the quirky bit of tech. Of course it would clearly be voice activated given that the man couldn’t really see the screen, but it was admittedly still pretty nifty!
Su Yan commands Drunken Fist to try to make it harder for the Chatot to land its attacks with a Sand Attack, but the dust being kicked up at it is simply blocked and only serves to make the already irritated bird angrier. Once more it pecks viciously at the Meleeon, who weathers the attack but is clearly starting to waver a little. Seeing as Sand Attack failed to really help, Su Yan decides to go for an actual attack and calls out for Drunken Fist to use dig. Immediately the Eeveelution digs underground with uncanny speed, disappearing into the earth in time just as the Chatot unleashed a cacophony of furious cries and garbled noises. Zoey winces, hovering her hands over her ears to block out some of the hubbub, but Su is having it much worse as he is forced to drop his Pokegear to the ground to protect his far more sensitive ones. Thankfully, the Chatot seems too focused on making as much of a ruckus as possible to notice the Meleeon popping up from the ground underneath it, and just like that the noise is quickly silenced as the strike knocks the bird out right off the bat.
”Oh thank Arceus…” she murmured, more than glad that that was over and done with as Su Yan gets to his feet, grabbing a Premier ball from his bag and easily catching the fainted Chatot after getting closer and taking a moment to actually find the button on the thing. A bright smile crosses her lips as Su Yan takes a moment to process everything before confirming that they were okay. ”Hey, that actually wasn’t half bad for a first battle!” she remarked, her tone warm and confident as she rests her hands on her hips. However, her smile slowly faded into a thoughtful look as she noticed a fairly similar pattern of the type matchups being reversed in this odd dream world like with her fight against that Heracross earlier. ”Seems type immunities are null here too, normally a Ground type move like Dig wouldn’t have been able to hit a Flyin’ type at all,” she spoke, tone hushed as she held a finger to her lips in contemplation, ”This really is a strange place, I tell ya what…” Orpheus gave a soft hum from behind her in agreement, he and Eir somewhat sticking a bit of a ways behind their party just in case a wild Pokemon might try to ambush them from the back.
”So how’re ya feelin’ now that ya had yer first actual battle?” she asked, glancing curiously over towards her blind companion before her eyes drifted over towards the device that he had dropped in the midst of the battle. Probably would be best if he didn’t lose it right off the bat, since he seemed to be pretty dependent on it to be able to navigate more easily through battles and maybe contests too in the future. Bending over a bit, she scooped the man’s fallen Pokegear off the ground, walking over towards him and carefully offering it out to him.
”Oh, and here, ya dropped this back there,” she said, letting him know that she was giving it back to him. Her eyes glanced over towards Drunken Fist, who was holding something shimmery and sparkly in his mouth, likely whatever it was that the Chatot had been so protective of. ”Whatcha got there, bud?” she inquired, leaning down a little to try and get a better look at what the Meleeon was holding. The telltale gleam and vague heart shape that she could make out was easy to identify as a Heart Scale, definitely a pretty useful find! A soft smile crossed her lips as she straightened herself back up, nodding to the Meleeon. ”Might wanna keep ahold o’ that, could come in handy later,” she said with a light laugh. More than ready to get moving once again, she paused before taking a step as a thought crossed her mind. "Ah right, ya might wanna go ahead n' heal up Drunken Fist now before we move on. Definitely good practice to keep yer Pokemon healthy 'cause ya never know when ya might encounter a wild Pokemon, or run into another trainer who's eager to battle," she suggested, unconsciously reaching toward her bag for a potion to help out if needed. It seemed that Chatot did a good number on the Meleeon even with its attacks being resisted, and Arceus forbid that the Fighting type get knocked out if yet another wild Pokemon came at them from out of the blue.】☆ ☆

Wasn't half bad, she says, not at all. And Su Yan cen feel the warmth of pride well up in his chest. He had done it and he hasn't even done too badly! Suddenly he’s beaming a smile! For the moment he feels joy and pride and like this undertaking isn't as daunting a task. Chatot’s ball is collected and put into his bag. Head perks a bit as Zoey explains her findings. Ground-type moves didn’t usually hit flying types? That was something he would have to note down for later. A trick like that probably wasn’t going to work outside this strange dream realm. ” Yeah, it’s strange for sure… Chatot even exist when we leave?” he finds himself wondering. If other things worked differently than usual then this might be the same. Though even if that was the case, he had the experience now to replicate what he had done, if, of course catching worked similarly in the real world as it did here.
It’s then he realizes he had dropped his pokegear, and that was pretty important to his journey, but luckily it seemed that Zoey had retrieved it for him, and he reaches out to take it from her, the battle screen was still open, but with his finger finding a raised button on the side he was able to turn the screen off for now. It was placed back into the pocket sewn into his coat. ” Thanks. I forgot I dropped it.” he says, still having to go back to the place he had been previously to collect Drunken Fist’s harness. The pokemon walks over to him, and with his newfound experience with potions, he was able to make use of them to heal the scrapes Drunken Fist had obtained in the fight. The smell was still something he was going to have to get used too, however.
After a good spray down and only one potion, he seemed right as rain. The meleeon shook out his fur before sitting at attention so the harness can be placed back on. It’s a simple thing, and as Su Yan is rather experienced with taking the thing off and on it's only a few moments before the final buckle is put into place across Drunken Fist’s chest. He was still holding onto that heart scale, but as they readied to move on again he drops it into Su Yan’s palm, ready to give it up.
The blind man runs his fingers over it to feel the smoothness and general shape before standing at his full height, holding the item up between forefinger and thumb so Zoey could get a look at it.
This is the item that Chatot was protecting… It feels like a stone, what is it?” He had heard Zoey tell Drunken Fist to hold onto it, but she hadn’t elaborated on it’s use. Once he was sure she had gotten a look at it he drops it into his pocket and he is ready to move forward again. The smell of coffee and fresh bread driving him forward. He had a new confidence and cheerfulness in his mood at the moment. He was on Cloud nine, if you will! ” How long until we reach that cafe? After that I think we all deserve a treat.”
