Vi doubled checked her backpack making sure her supplies was well tucked in the confines of the canvas and the material was still sound. Last thing she needed was to step outside in the wilds and have the entire thing break a strap or spill out her supplies. Water, snacks, journal, extra pens, sunscreen, her phone secure in a pocket so it would not fall out. It was very basic but it would do until she could make a proper name of herself, and she meant to do so. She would do so.

She sighed, running a finger down the bell of her Chingling as he circled her head giving soft ching ching cries of excitement. "Are you happy to get going?" The other two were in their poke balls about her waist. Tin tin was getting better but it was just easier at the moment to keep him in his poke ball till she was out in the wilds.

For everyone.

Lex whistled as he met up with the reseacher, well more like grad student, he was going to interview as they explored the newly discovered area. He had his supplies, pad of paper, pen, recorder and blank tapes, water, snacks, some first aid supplies as an afterthought. He also had his pokemon, though only Nimbus was out, the joltik snuggled in his curls.

Fat Kevin was more then likely to take out with someone's meal then actually listen. The pidove was a mence and had the art of looking cute and harmless down enough to lower a trainer's guard and then make off with an entire pizza.

Lex had seen it. "Hey! Ready to go?" He called out to Victoria, joining her at the eastern gate. The mountain had cracked and he whistled at the damage as he bounced on the heels of his feet, ready to go.

Something seems to be stuck just under some exposed tree roots. You find... (Ask staff!)

Discovery

--

Something seems to be stuck just under some exposed tree roots. You find... thick vines that end in rounded tips, reminding you of a particular pokemon.

 

[Shaddaling]

"Of course, it has been too long." She was behind, it had taken so long for her to obtain a pokemon to even explore and then the storm had came, and now a new spot had open up and it was her time to show off. Her time to reveal something new, something fantastic, something like that... Vi broke from her musings, having walked out into the woods to fixate on the tree. There was something there she could feel it! Something important, something grand something...

Something like round tipped vines. Like a tangela? A tanglegrowth? Perhaps that odd mushroom like form of tenacool that had been found in Paldea. She sighed, stopping tugging on it, and stood, dusting off her pants. "It is just some vines, perhaps shed from a pokemon, perhaps used for a nest." It was hard to say.

It was still a discovery. She should be happy about that.

 

[Shaddaling]

"At least they aren't going to attempt to bite you. I heard enough from the grasslands there is plenty of pokemon that nibble first," Lex said, trying to lift her spirits. Someone was ready to go. "So, you came here to continue research? Are you hoping to publish a paper? Have you decided on what sort of topic you wish to write about? I know the shards have a lot of interest, but then we have a lot of variant pokemon as well," he inquired as they walked through the darken woods.

There was water near by, he could hear the flow of it nearby and the trees were so thick and dense they sprawled up to block the sky in places. It truly was one of the untouched places in the world. "Do you ever wonder about how untouched everything is here. That we are the first to step in this area?" He asked, in awe.

Something darts across your feet, attempting to flee into the underbrush.

Startled Pokémon

time to roll a poke

 

[Shaddaling]

"Do you know how hard it is to stand out of a crowd when everyone is doing the same research. I need something new, something big, something..."She froze as a pokemon darted out, crossing her foot in an attempt to flee. "Something like that!"

It was green and round and not something she had seen before she had to know what it was! For research! She fumbled to find her research balls, where had she put them. She had shoved them in some pocket, she knew she had.

She jerked up, finally finding them hoping they hadn't fled to see a pokeball wiz by her head to bonk the small critter. "What?"

"Sorry! You seemed to want it so I just threw a ball."

 

[Shaddaling]

The ball rocked once, twice, and spat out the pokemon. The green little creature had a mustache? Whiskers? That was rather cute! And huge eyes, absolutely huge as it wobbled on two legs before darting away.

"That was adorable! Too bad about the ball." Lex picked up his research ball, tucking it back into his bag. They really needed to work on getting actual balls to catch things in. "But we saw something new!" That was so cool.

"You can still use that as research right?"

You can see something stuck on the branch of a tall tree. Roll DEX to attempt to retrieve it.

Special Item (Difficult)

1

 

[Shaddaling]

What item?

 

[Shaddaling]

"Probably... But I have to get it down now or I will forget," She wailed, grabbing her notebook and pen to start viciously sketch as much detail as she could remember of the creature down. Small, round, green, two feet? A long waving tail, big eyes, some sort of face protrusion. Vi wasn't happy with the finished sketch but it was something. Ooh, she wished she had gotten it instead. She had to be more on top of things.

"What are you doing?" She asked, staring at her companion as he started to poke at a tree with a big stick

 

[Shaddaling]

"There is something stuck in the tree," Lex called, shifting on his feet to get a better angle, he nearly had it, just a bit more and yes! "There we are!" He shouted gleefully as he reached down for the fallen if some what battered item and picked up a potion. "Ooh, nice. Weird though. Wonder how the potion got stuck in a tree." Did someone climb the tree to get away from a pokemon? How odd.

But hey! Free Potion!

A thick, thorny brush blocks the way. Roll STR or SPEC to have a pokémon clear the dangerous plants.

Pokémon Danger

2

going to let Tin tin attempt to clear it

 

[Shaddaling]

"Well, go on Tin Tin, take out that nasty bush so we can move on," Vi said, gently pushing her torchic towards the plant. "You can do it." She was certain he could clear away the thorny brush blocking the way. How hard could it be???

Ooh dear. It seems it was a lot harder then she thought as she picked up the fainted torchic. "Sorry sweetheart." She returned him to his ball, and ran a hand over the nidorans. "Let's, lets give this a try Violet."

 

[Shaddaling]

"Let me see if Fat Kevin can managed to do something useful," Lex said, pulling out the pidove's pokeball and releasing him. "Fat Kevin, go and take care of that bush for us so we can continue our way," He ordered. "Use swift on it."

The pidove tilted his head before attempting the move.

 

[Shaddaling]

"Come on, you can do it. You came so close," Lex coaxed the bird. "Just, don't land in it this time, okay?" Kevin had gotten rather beaten up in the brambles.
