EXPEDITION I I still could not believe the outcome of the events involving Jooji and how his untamed and rabid Chimchar brought upon a vast accumulation of wounds and injuries to my face. Concealing said wounds would only leave to the complete obscurity of my face and as such, I would not be able to function under such circumstances. It mattered not, for I was revitalized with determination and I would not cease until I was clearly at the absolute apex of my potential.
I believed that Z and I required more companions to travel with and as such, I would look for a particular Pokemon by the name of Psyduck. Whether or not I'd successfully find this specific creature, my primary concern was to simply search the immediate area for any signs of Pokemon. Maybe I'd be lucky upon stumbling upon this Pokemon on my first encounter.

Your search was unsuccessful.
Instead...
A wild Hoppip Appears!
Female Level 5
Playing in the grass, it has yet to notice you.

My dark brown optics would pick upon movement within the grasses ahead of my position. To my observation, it seemed that a Pokemon was simply enjoying itself, the Pokemon being a Hoppip after proper analysis with my Pokedex was complete. I did not wish to instigate a battle for I wished to capture the Hoppip and as such, I simply sent Z forward towards it in order to strike some sort of conversation between the two. I could have talked with the Pokemon myself but the language barrier as well as a difference in species would not yield the same results as if Z was talking with it.
Standing from afar, I'd simply watch silently as Z attempted to speak with the Pokemon, hopefully convincing it to come along with the two of us.

The Hoppip would stare at the man made pokemon with awe. It had never seen such a thing that could control it's flotation with ease like it did. Whatever that was spoken by the Porygon would be ignored as a small wind blew by and lifted the pokemon into the air. Being blown away slightly, Hoppip would cry out for help. She didn't like being pushed around.
"Hopiiiiiiip!!"

Oh great.
Eyelids would lower as visage would convey slight worry seeing the petite Pokemon being lifted off by the very winds themselves. The creature's weight had to be absolutely minimal in order for such a thing to happen however I did not waste unnecessary time remaining idle and thus ran after the Pokemon myself, with Z hovering close behind me. Effort had to be placed within my sprint as hands would reach upward trying to grasp the Hoppip that was being dragged away by the fleeting gusts.
I was seriously hoping that I'd be able to help the poor thing.

As the short male would chase after Hoppip, she would cry as she thought she was gone for good. Needless to say, the man's ancestry would help in retrieving the pokemon. Loy didn't quite have the height required to simply reach up and save the pokemon but with a simple leap into the air, he would easily be able to reach said Hoppip.
Hoppip would yell with joy as it was caught by Loy. Snuggling with the Assistant Proffesor, Hoppip wouldn't ever leave his side.
Consider this pokemon caught. XP marker for thread--

I couldn't explain it but I had a feeling of relief once I was able to "save" this Pokemon from being carried by the Zephyrs to who-knows-where. Immediately clinging onto me, I gave a short smile as I knew what this had entailed. A Pokeball would be lightly tap against the Pokemon and no struggle would be made by the creature itself, signifying a quick capture. I did not wish to restrict the Hoppip to this portable prison and thus, I released her upon capture as she immediately found her spot on my shoulder.
With three pairs of eyes, spotting a Psyduck would be made that much easier, at least, so I hoped.

Success! A level 8 Psyduck appears! Male Docile The Psyduck seems to be slowly waddling along, not really paying much attention to what's going on around it.

A form of yellow was detected by my Porygon and as I looked towards that direction, I noticed a Psyduck simply making its way along, not cognizant of the events going on around it. Making my way towards it, I kept a distance between the two of us as a buffer as I simply spoke:
...Hey. I was looking for more friends to travel along with me. You want to come alon-?
I would not be able to finish my sentence before my Hoppip would float towards the Psyduck and speak in rapid Pokenese, depicting her epic rescue from ultimate doom by myself and how traveling along with me would be a decision it would not regret. However, I would not know any of this and thus would stand silently as the two Pokemon conversed.

The Psyduck seemed to simply continue about its way as you spoke, but stopped as soon as your Hoppip landed in front of him. Almost as if Hoppip's words were too much for the Psyduck to process, he placed his hands on his head and tilted his head to the side. "Psy~?" After a bit of allowing Hoppip to go on, Psyduck couldn't take it anymore and lunged forward with a Scratch, aimed for Hoppip.

I tried to do this the "nice" way...
This Psyduck honestly had some nerves to attack unprovoked and upon seeing the attack coming, Solace would, of course, take a short backstep, lengthening the distance between the two of them to two meters. I did not need to warn her of the impending danger for it was reflex to avoid such a rash attack.
Z, use Psybeam.
I would mutter at Z as his form would be enveloped in psychic energies, the energy manifesting itself into a beam of a colorful spectrum, hoping to strike the Psyduck who was too preoccupied with his present target.

Psyduck's attack had missed, but at least the Hoppip had stopped yapping on and on. Perhaps now, Psyduck could go about his business... Nope. As soon as he turned to walk away, Z's Psybeam attack hit him square in the face, sending him flying back. He tumbled along the ground, crying out as he bounced around. He finally came to a stop and held his head as he squinted his eyes in pain. "PSY! PSY! PSY! DUUUUCK!" He reopened his eyes and started running for Z, hoping to use Scratch on it. There was a lot of distance between them, so the chances of Psyduck actually reaching Z before getting hit again were minimal at best.

The attack was incredibly accurate, able to strike the duck right in its face. Of course, it would continue its brash tactics by the utmost blitzing of Z, hoping to connect with an attack of its own. I would simply wait as the distance was shortened and shortened until the point of contact was nearing. I advised Z to then utilize Sharpen and then follow it up immediately with a Tackle.
The sheen upon the synthetic Pokemon would gloss over rapidly, signifying the toughing of its own body. Propelling itself forward, it'd hope to collide with the Psyduck head-on, hopefully pushing it back and doing magnified damage due to the prior move. Should the Tackle connect, I would then tell Z to follow it up with a Psybeam, in which case, the Psyduck should be very well up for capture.

The charging Psyduck would be hit spectacularly by the empowered Tackle, and was sent to the ground once more. He was hurt pretty badly, but attempted to stand up for a last-ditch effort at running away. He didn't have the strength to get onto his feet, though, and he was hit by the Psybeam. Barely alive, he let out a weak cry as he began slipping into unconsciousness. "Psyyy..." One pokéball later, he can be considered captured. +2XP

With the lax toss of the device and the successful capture of the Psyduck, I'd release the male Pokemon and let him get socialized with the other Pokemon that I possessed. I simply wanted to look for one more Pokemon before moving onwards towards the next possible route. The last Pokemon that I wish to locate would be a Gligar and the best location to look would be within the surrounding trees. Eyes would scan the foliage as I hoped to spot one, if there was one within close proximity.
