The next obstacle the group encounters is another Nauwillian weedle. This time none of them were fast enough to spot it before it left out of the trees at Pip, but Mezzo was quick to intercept it once again. The fight was not as one-sided as the previous one had been, however. This Nauwillian weedle proved more resilient to being confused, and it was faster with its tail, landing a solid sting on its psychic type opponent. The two scuffled for a minute, but it was clear that Mezzo was on the defensive.
Pip called it off, but they had to recall Mezzo to its pokeball to get it away. Unfortunately it was still suffering from the effects of the poison, and was probably going to need to recover back at base camp before it would be up for any more adventuring. They would make sure that Mezzo got a proper look over once they were back home.
In the meantime they should probably have another pokemon on dry land with them, and they didn’t want to pull Little Guy away from his fun, so they brought Frost out from his ball. The little Alolan vulpix was very excited to explore a new area and immediately started bouncing in and out of the bushes. Pip frowned, wondering if maybe they hadn’t made the right choice… there were an awful lot of pitfalls and thorn bushes around, after all.
Commotion in the river drew Pip’s attention back to Lanette and Little Guy, who it seemed had found a new friend. Pip recognized the glowing lights of a chinchou under the water, that appeared to have been startled out of its hiding place by their pokemon. They gave orders for Lanette to block off one direction and Little Guy to start herding it closer to the shore, so they could get a good throw at it. The research centre, they knew, was still looking for more chinchou.
Soon enough the team was able to corral the pokemon into shallower water, and Pip was able to get a clear shot at it. The research ball clicked almost immediately after making contact, and Little Guy happily retrieved it from the water to bring it to Pip, who traded them the ball for a treat.
It kind of felt like they were getting the hang of this pokemon catching thing! Two whole pokemon caught on a single trip?
… they were probably about to fall in another pit or something, weren’t they?
