With both the Krabby and Psyduck captured, Shinya grinned his usual grin, and watched as the Net Ball and Ultra Ball containing said Pokemon were transported to new locations. Of course, since Shinya wasn't the one that captured the Psyduck, only the Krabby went to his PC. Regardless, the battle, if one could even call it that, was short and sweet. And as a result of their victory, Yanma got stronger once again, smiling big and cheering loudly when it happened. "Yan! Yan!" The Clear Wing Pokemon happily flapped her wings but didn't leave her spot on top of her trainer's head, having gotten quite comfortable up there. Shinya didn't mind though, finding the breeze caused by Yanma's wings to be quite refreshing. "Oh yeah. Keep it up, Yanma. That feels nice." The Team Skull grunt's grin changed into a smile, as he took a moment to simply relax and enjoy his own personal head fan. But then, a few seconds later, something happened that made both Shinya and Yanma stop what they were doing immediately. A bright light suddenly erupted from Shinya's bag, much to the surprise of the Bug type trainer and Pokemon. "Yanma?" Yanma questioned this turn of events, as Shinya dug through his bag to locate the cause, pulling out the Pokemon egg he had received not too long ago. "Already?! Well, that could've taken a lot longer." Shinya remarked, then smiled again, as he and Yanma waited with baited breath to see what kind of Pokemon would emerge from the egg. About twenty seconds later, the light slowly died down, and a small, newly hatched Pokemon appeared from it, fitting almost perfectly in Shinya's hands. "Jol? Jol? Joltik!" The Pokemon in question was Joltik, the Attaching Pokemon. The small Pokemon looked up at its trainer and fellow Bug type, then let out a loud and happy cry, quickly crawling up said trainer's arm and around his shoulders. Both Shinya and Yanma were once again surprised at first, but then Shinya's smile got even bigger, as he let out a happy cry of his own. "Alright! This day just keeps on gettin' better and better!"Clearly, the Team Skull grunt was extremely pleased to now have such a rare and powerful Bug type Pokemon on his team, chuckling a bit as Joltik continued to crawl all over his upper body and its fur tickled him a bit. "Yanma! Yanma! Yan! Yanma!" Yanma was very happy about this as well, smiling, cheering, and rapidly flapping her wings yet again. Eventually, Joltik came to a stop on Shinya's right shoulder, and the Bug type trainer glanced at his new Pokemon as he dug through his bag once more. "You're probably hungry, aren't ya? As I recall, Joltik like to eat electricity, don't they? In that case, here ya go." Shinya found some batteries in his bag, then gave one to Joltik, as well as some food to Yanma. The two young Bug type Pokemon happily accepted the food from their trainer and started to chow down, staying in their respective spots on Shinya's body as they did. "Joltik! Tik! Joltik!" The Attaching Pokemon exclaimed, eagerly sucking out every last drop of electricity the battery had to offer. Yanma really enjoyed her meal too, as Shinya continued to smile, seeing that their adventure on palm beach was going very well so far. However, their work was still far from done here. Shinya knew that there were more Bug type Pokemon roaming around this beach, and when it came to Bug type Pokemon, enough was never enough for Shinya. So, with Yanma clinging to his head and Joltik clinging to his shoulder, Shinya quickly said his goodbyes to Tyler and Zaiden, then continued to walk down the beach, continuing the search for new teammates. OOC: As per usual, I'll leave the Krabby's stats blank for now. And as for Yanma, I will have her learn Quick Attack, forgetting Tackle in place of it. Thanks a bunch.

Shinya wouldn't get far away, if he hoped for some time alone with his pokemon, he'd be disappointed. Denki and Yasei galloped close past him spraying sand in his direction until they reached a sandy hilltop where they seemed to verbally get at each other. A krabby had almost been run over was waving its claw angrily and shouting at them as it made its way up the hill towards them, it stopped abruptly and looked around confused when they disappeared into thin air. It made it all the way to the top to look down at the other side and then quickly scrambled back down to the treeline and a fallen tree. It waved its claw and seemed to be talking with something out of sight there, it seemed to become more frustrated and began to slam its claw into the sand. Resolutely it began to dig the sand away before it grasped something inside the hole it was making bigger, and then it pulled out a wimpod. The scared bug flailed around while the krabby still hold on to it and seemed to be trying to tell it something. The crab waved its claw in the direction of the hill but the wimpod didn't really see anything in its panic. It pulled its leg free and scurried over the sand towards Zaiden, krabby followed shouting reassuringly to the blue bug, who just closed its eyes and ran faster, and straight into Zaiden's leg. It stumbled back baffled and looked up at him with big eyes, needing a moment to realize what it was looking at, it probably would run again soon, if not attempted to be stopped. The krabby slowed down and watched Zaiden more warily, it called kindly to the wimpod who blinked and glanced nervously back at it. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/krabby.png) Wimpod [Lv 12] and Krabby [Lv 9] appeared.

As Tyler caught the Psyduck with next to no effort at all he could not help but realoze that his once peaceful training area was now being invaded by a few too many trainers for his liking. He knew he would have to partner up if he wanted to search anymore in the area for the time being and he really did not want to work with anyone else so long as he could help it. He knew moving on to another area was the only way to avoid socializing for the time being. Before he left the beach he caught a glimpse of the Wimpod that Zaiden and Shinya encountered and knew he would have to return at some point. " Somewhere down the line I will have to return to try and capture one of those, I bet they are a really useful Pokemon. For now though I think heading to the Placid Lagoon will be my best best. I wonder how strong the Pokemon there are?" He muttered to himself as he started to walk towards the lagoon. Beyond a few rumors he had heard from a few random survivors walking by he had no.idea what to expect. He heard the Pokemon there were higher leveld than the Rock Pool or Palm Beach but not exactly how much stronger. " I suppose in due time.we will see just how powerful the Pokemon there are. We need as many powerful ones as we can get before we go on the next mission. The ones at Palm Beach will take a ton of training to get ready so hopefully the ones we are about to meet will take less effort to get them ready." Just as he reached the fringes of Palm Beach Tyler looked back at the beach one more time fully intending to return when the time was right. Mania and Fenrir stood next to him as he then turned towards the location of the lagoon and the rising sun. He was glad he did not have to find his way in the dark as the fringes of the beach were covered in deep holes the local Dwebble used for their dwellings. If he fell into one of the dwellings at night he might be in a lot of trouble but during the day they were easy to avoid. He could only imagine what nasty surprises awaited him in the lagoon. OOC: Tyler leaves the area and heads for Placid Lagoon. Placing Quack in Tyler's PC.

After Yanma's attack finished off the wild Krabby, the Clear Wing Pokemon smiled, very happy to have won her first battle. "Yanma! Yanma! Yan! Ma! Ma!" Shinya, on the other hand, shot the River Crab Pokemon one more glare, as it slowly drifted off into the sea. "And don't come back." The Team Skull grunt spoke in a very serious tone of voice, then grabbed Yanma's Poke Ball from his bag and called her back to it. "You've done enough for now, Yanma. Return." Once that was done, Shinya turned his attention back over to Zaiden and his Pokemon, shooting them all one more glare as he spoke to them in a tone of irritation and seriousness.
"And as for all of you, stay outta my way. If any of ya come within ten feet of me again, I'll make ya wish that you were that Krabby just now. Ya follow?" Shinya made his declaration, but rather than wait for an answer afterward, he just turned away and continued to walk down the beach. The Wimpod he found may have been captured by someone else, but the Bug type trainer knew that there were other Bug type Pokemon to be found on this beach. And he wasn't leaving without them. "Let's go, Joltik. We're not done here just yet." Shinya said to the small Bug/Electric type on his shoulder in a much kinder tone of voice, and she replied with a nod and a happy tone. "Tik! Joltik! Joltik!"

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: --- | Arriving from Rock Pool
The beige teenager blinked as he stared at Shinya and sized the older teenager up. Although they seemed to be close in age, this young man had an attitude that the nervous mousy brown haired trainer couldn’t care less for. The way Shinya seemed to stalk around the area as though everything were owed to him made Zaiden sick to his stomach. But, even if he wanted to complain and snap back at Shinya’s retort, Zaiden lacked the ability to speak up and allow his voice to be heard. He sneered instead, shaking his head in disapprovingly as he turned away from the Skull Grunt to stalk a different region of the beach away from Shinya and his team. Surely, the beach was big enough for the both of them, right? And why did such an ugly person who seemed to thrive on power and dominance want such a skittish Pokemon to begin with?
Denki rose up on his hind legs as Shinya warned them to stay out of his way. Zaiden reached up and gently placed a hand on Denki’s side. Although his touch was gentle by nature, there was a firmness to it as well. As the beige teenager’s slender fingers wrapped their grip around part of Denki’s mane and tugged, the zebra would reluctantly come back down to earth. “I can show this two-bit cake walk a lesson!” Denki bayed loudly, kicking his black hooves against the soft white sands of the beach. Zaiden shook his head firmly and pointed away from Shinya, leading his Pokemon off to a different part of the beach. There was no sense in risking their health or livelihoods on this, that much was definite. And the last thing Zaiden needed to do was allow his Pokemon to cause another human serious, traumatic injuries. No, they were better than that. “That extra doesn’t deserve our mercy!” Denki complained as he walked away with his trainer.
Though, Zaiden would temporarily disappear so that he could switch his team around once more. Although they were secluded on this desolute island, it seemed that the crew that had survived with the castaways had managed to get a Personal Computer up and running so that the trainers could use it to transport their Pokemon to and from the lab. Zaiden listened as some young girls essentially cornered the mechanics behind getting it fully operational and questioned them on how come help couldn’t seem to locate their precise location. It seemed that something in the area was messing with their global positioning and the system used to track that couldn’t quite pinpoint it on a map. Something about their positions jumping all over the maps, landing in different spots that made it nearly impossible to tell, or some other….
Zaiden pushed past them and clicked away on the machine as he returned his Pokemon one by one. He would then carefully peruse through the Pokemon available on the machine and carefully pick out some of the ones he felt could benefit from being stranded on the sandy white dunes of the beach. Was it really fair of him to cast them away as easily as he seemed to be cast away on the island? Zaiden had to hope that they could understand. He had to hope that they were working on a way to port everyone back to the mainland once more. He had to hope that this wasn’t the end for everyone that had boarded the cruise ship. Why would they stop looking for them, anyways? Weren’t some pretty important people also aboard the ships, that they would want to recover in one piece? With a shrug, he turned back and walked back to the sandy white dunes of Palm Beach and searched around to see what else she would offer him.

The beach rather quiet at the moment as few of the local Pokemon wanted to draw any attention to themselves. One of the strongest Psyduck in the area decided it had enough of these trainers stealing their friends and went to confront the two trainers still on the beach. As it did a strange Pokemon crawled alongside it as if it wanted to help in any way that it could despite being both slow and more defensive than offensive in nature. The weird Pokemon known as Pyukumuku was not known for being kind to anyone who messed with it and despite the usual lack of offensive options it could still provide a nasty blow on a trainer not expecting it. As the pair reached the two trainers Psyduck started to make a series of quacking noises trying to get the two trainers attention as Pyukumuku remained silent and just watched. Psyduck approached Shinya and dared the young Team Skull member to show it just how strong they were as Pyukumuku finally made a move hopping towards Zaiden as it stared at him with a fierce determination. The two Pokemon remained close enough together that they could support one another as a double battle was about to get underway. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/pyukumuku.png) ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/psyduck.png) Pyukumuku (Level 10) and Psyduck (Level 15) have come to chase you both off of the beach.

As soon as the Net Ball stopped shaking, Shinya grinned as he watched the orb transport itself straight to his PC. Pyukumuku may not have been a Bug type Pokemon, but it was still quite rare to see one in the Johto region. With that in mind, Shinya figured that he might be able to trade or sell it to someone. Plus, Joltik got a lot stronger, so it was worth it for the Team Skull grunt either way. And since Zaiden managed to capture the Psyduck, that meant that Shinya and Joltik were free and clear to move on and search for another wild Pokemon. "Well, looks like you might be good for somethin' after all. But you're still just another scrub."
Shinya snickered to himself, unable to resist the urge to put Zaiden down once again, as Joltik started making faces at the other male trainer's Pokemon. "Jol! Tik! Jol! Tik!" The Bug type trainer snickered yet again, then proceeded to walk to another area on the beach, kicking up some sand as he went. His target Pokemon for this area was still Dwebble, the Rock Inn Pokemon. And Shinya knew that Dwebble sometimes liked to bury themselves in the ground, using the rocks on their backs as camouflage. Well, the Team Skull grunt wasn't buying it, and kicked over every last rock he dug up, hoping to see a hole with a Bug type Pokemon in it on the other side.
OOC: Just like my last several catches, just leave the Pyukumuku's stats blank and add it to Shinya's PC please. Thanks.

MOD NOTE: Fletchling NOT IN ACTIVE PARTY in thread! ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: ---
Before Zaiden could properly react, Shinya had leaped over the yellow duck and rushed towards Zaiden. The mousy brown haired teenager clenched his fists into tight balls at his sides as he prepared for this boy to try to pick a fight with him. Did he come for the sea cucumber when the Psyduck had picked him?! Zaiden immediately began rummaging through his belongings as he searched for a Pokeball that he could use to capture the Pyukumuku and keep it safe away from Shinya’s reach. There was no way that Zaiden would allow Shinya to have both the sea cucumber and the yellow duck. “H-hey. Back off!” He hissed, pulling out his own ball with the same bluish tint and familiar black webbing over the top of it. Though Zaiden fought to say more – and really put Shinya in his place – his anxiety caused him to choke back the rest of his words.
As soon as Zaiden tossed the Net Ball at the Pyukumuku, it missed. Shinya was quicker than Zaiden and easily managed to toss his ball at the small black Pokemon, zapping it inside of the device. Zaiden’s bounced off of Shinya’s by default, and flew back up at Zaiden, who easily caught it and pocketed it. “…!” The lad stared through widened warm brown eyes and pointed at Shinya’s Net Ball with a loud groan. “….” He immediately turned away and darted off after the Psyduck, tossing his Net Ball at the other Pokemon instead. At least, if Shinya was going to be rude enough to steal away the Pokemon that had targeted Zaiden, then he would do the same for Shinya. Luckily, the Net Ball would catch Psyduck with hardly an effort made.
He snorted, shaking his head disappointed as he glanced over his shoulder as Shinya. I bet his parents weren’t very active in his childhood. Zaiden huffed, then mentally scolded himself for such a negative thought. No…I can’t blame people I’ve never met. He’s just a mean person. That can’t be helped. Such an ugly personality… As he picked up his Net Ball and watched it teleport off into the distance, Zaiden would spin around to face the vast expanse of the beach and begin scouring the area. He noticed that Shinya stuck near the rockier areas of the beach, so Zaiden tried to stay close to the sandy dunes and ocean water’s edge. Maybe he would get lucky and find something truly amazing on the beach? He thought about moving to a different area and immediately pictured the crowded Rock Pool he had originally left.
A shiver crawled down his spine as he shook his head. Zaiden’s thick, unkempt hair bounced in all directions. Staring down at the ground and stooping low so that he could try his best not to spook away anything that he might find, Zaiden decided against leaving the area just yet. It was too much to expect the anxious teenager to surround himself with the other people in the densely packed areas of the isolated beach. This was one of his driving motivators for finding a way back to the mainland. At least there, it was easier for Zaiden to push himself far away from the other people and surround himself with the natural beauty of the wilderness. Here, he had to work with others…some who he wished he never had to know even existed. Though, Shinya’s Joltik was quite the interesting Pokemon in itself. Why did such a cute little electric tick want to team up with such an awful person like Shinya, anyways? Zaiden simply couldn’t understand it.
OOC: I got Venom's update for him! ^^ Also, couldn't resist roleplaying it from the perspective that Shinya snatched Pyuku away from Zaiden. A sense a rivalry sparking between these two (lol).

While Shinya is kicking the sand, his feet hit something hard and decides to grab back. The claw misses the toes as it grabs the side of the shoe. The dwebble unearth itself chewing out the human for disturbing its nice nap. The squabble catches the attention of a nearby psyduck who runs into the duo squawking about wanting some peace and quiet. The two Pokemon ignore Zaiden and his Pokemon. The eyes of Psyduck goes blank as rocks begin to lift off the ground. Some of the rocks goes flying in random direction with some landing close to Zaiden and his Pokemon. Others land right behind Shinya and still others land behind Psyduck. This makes the dwebble turn and start complaining to the Psyduck about how reckless it is with its power. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/psyduck.png) Level 12 ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/dwebble.png) Level 11 Who will it be this time to face these two?

MOD NOTE: Fletchling NOT IN ACTIVE PARTY in thread! ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: ---
Zaiden watched as the large blue insect picked the yellow duck up with its horn and tossed the other Pokemon clearly across the beach. The duck seemed to pop back up instantly and ran after Kamejima with all of its anger. Although his small turtle tried to jump out of the way of Psyduck’s attacks, the wild waterfowl managed to scar her along her sides with its sharp nails. Though, her tornado of leaves tore into the ducks hide, causing the Pokemon to collapse into a passed out heap. It wouldn’t take the duck too long to lift itself up and wander off into the distance, shaking its head as it did so, though. Zaiden shrugged and turned away from Shinya and his Pokemon as he prepared to walk off.
However, his green lizard walked over to him and pulled on his pants leg with an expectant nod. Zaiden paused and bent down to stare into his Pokemon’s eyes. Yamori’s large yellow eyes stared back into Zaiden’s rich brown hues, and both seemed to speak without words for a split second. The Treecko gestured towards Shinya with a serious look of determination, to which Zaiden shook his head firmly and frowned. “He helped us, no matter how horrible his attitude. A true warrior is the bigger person.” Yamori spoke to his trainer in a low tone, barely above a whisper. Zaiden crossed his arms over his chest and stood back up straight as he turned firmly away from Shinya. Why was his Pokemon trying to get him to speak to the other person, anyways? Shinya admitted to being affiliated with an assumed criminal organization since he was affiliated with a gang! He had been pretty nasty and mean to Zaiden from the start, especially from Zaiden’s point of view.
Yamori stomped his foot on the soft white sands and narrowed his eyes as he pushed against Zaiden’s leg with his small, scaly arms. When Zaiden tried to step over his Pokemon, he smacked his tail against Zaiden’s foot. Although Yamori made sure not to use too much force, it managed to get the message across. Cursing underneath his breath, he spun around and walked over to Shinya nervously. “…” Zaiden took a deep breath of air and released it slowly, battling his anxiety so try and keep it at bay. After a few more tries, he finally managed to speak. “Thanks…for the help…” He then turned away and stalked off in the opposite direction of Shinya and his Pokemon.
Man, he did not like being the bigger person! And why should he?! If Shinya was such a nasty person with such a disgusting personality, why did Zaiden need to swallow his own pride and thank him?! It literally made no sense, and it wasn’t as though Kamejima couldn’t have handled the yellow duck on her own! He was doing just fine before Shinya showed up and ruined the entire moment by trying to trample over him as though he meant nothing anytime they were forced to try to ‘work together’ – if you could even call it that! Zaiden’s blood boiled underneath his skin, and he fought his own emotions to remain calm as he took deep, steady beaths of air and began searching around the beach for more Pokemon. Had he already seen all there was to see at the beachside, or could he find more mysterious Pokemon lurking somewhere out here?

As soon as the Psyduck was gone, Shinya took a few deep breaths, calming himself back down and regaining his composure. He flipped his hair out of his face, then called Heracross back to his poke ball. "Good work, Heracross. Return." With that, Shinya placed Heracross' poke ball back into his bag, then withdrew Joltik's poke ball from his bag, letting the Attaching Pokemon back out onto his shoulder. "Jol...Joltik?..." Joltik asked what had happened, still feeling very exhausted after taking a direct hit from the wild Psyduck's Water Pulse. Seeing this, Shinya grabbed another battery from his bag and gave it to her to recharge her lost energy. "Here, Joltik. Eat up."
Joltik happily accepted the battery from her trainer, and began to eagerly devour the energy within in, getting her strength back as she did. Both she and Heracross had grown stronger after their last encounter, but Shinya was still feeling frustrated. Partly because it felt like he and his team lost, and partly because they had to take help from Zaiden of all people. With his fists clenched tightly, the Team Skull grunt glanced at the other trainer, saying absolutely nothing at first. He observed the other trainer talking with his Treeko about something but was far too frustrated and lost in his own thoughts to hear what they were saying. Then, as Zaiden approached him, Shinya raised one eyebrow at him, wondering what this was all about.
"What do you want, scrub?" The Bug type trainer asked the other trainer in a blunt tone, not even trying to hide how frustrated he was with the way things turned out. However, the words that Zaiden spoke to him surprised even Shinya, as his eyes widened, and he turned to face with him an expression of disbelief upon his face. For a full minute, Shinya just stood there, trying his best to process the words that had just been spoken to him. Then, after finally regaining his composure once again, Shinya narrowed his eyes at Zaiden and chased after him. Upon reaching the other young man, Shinya walked beside him just long enough to give him a quick response.
"Don't go thinkin' that this makes us friends or anythin', but you and your Pokemon are...not so bad, I guess." Shinya wanted to bite his tongue off after that, picking up his pace and walking ahead of Zaiden after that, with a look of disgust present on his face. And as she finished her battery, Joltik looked at her trainer with some surprise and confusion, asking if he really meant what he said to Zaiden. "Tik. Tik. Joltik?" Before responding, the Team Skull grunt let out a single huff, sticking his hands into his pockets. "Tch. Just this time, Joltik. Just this time." With that said and done, Shinya continued to walk along the beach, searching for more wild Pokemon to battle and capture. That last encounter made it clear that Joltik still had some leveling up to do, and while he was pretty sure that he had already seen all that this beach had to offer, Mother Nature had surprised him several times before. So, why not now as well?

As soon as the previous battle ended two Pokemon who had been watching the battle while partly buried by the sand started to plan out their revenge. The Dwebble captured by Shinya was friends with both of the hiding Pokemon and they were not about to allow their friend to be taken so easily. The two Pokemon waited for the two trainers to walk for a bit hoping to double up against Shinya however as they were waiting a Wimpod buried in the sand near them suddenly got scared as it saw Shinya approach and it made a ton of noise making it's getaway. The rustling sand gave away the Dwebble and Krabby's position and forced them to attack earlier than they had anticipated. Krabby and Dwebble both looked at the two trainers as mean as they could trying to make themselves look more threatening than they could ever dream of being. Things only got worse when they realized that Zaiden was still too close for them to pull off their ambush meaning they would be forced into a double battle instead of the two on one they had hoped for. Though nothing had gone their way so far the pair were still not about to give up as battling was the only way to get revenge for their friend and they were in no mood to retreat due to a terrible series of setbacks. Krabby and Dwebble waited cautiously for the two trainers to select a Pokemon hoping that whatever they sent out would not be too hard to defeat. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/dwebble.png) ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/krabby.png) Dwebble (Level 15) and Krabby (Level 11) challenge Shinya and Zaiden to a battle.

Once the wild Krabby was gone, Joltik started to jump for joy immediately, very happy with their latest victory. "Joltik! Joltik! Jol! Jol! Tik! Tik!" Not only did she win her first battle and get stronger, but she also worked together with another trainer's Pokemon for the very first time, and it was a very good feeling for the small Pokemon. "Joltik. Tik. Jol." After thanking Yadoku for helping her out, the Attaching Pokemon skittered right back over to her trainer, crawled up his body, and took her usual spot on his right shoulder. After that, Shinya glanced at her, smile, rubbed the top of her head with one finger, then gave her another battery to munch on. "Ya did great, Joltik. Really nice work." Shinya praised his young Pokemon, and she was extremely happy to receive that praise, but her mouth was too busy sucking electricity out of the battery she was given to say anything else at the moment.
After that, the Team Skull grunt turned towards Zaiden once more, as he lost his smile in favor of a more contemplating facial expression. Then, after a full minute of silence and thinking, Shinya turned his back to the other male trainer and started to walk away but raised his hand as he did. "See ya around, Z. We're gonna head back to the Rock Pool for now. Don't know if I'll ever be able to convince someone like you to join Team Skull, but it's been kinda fun hangin' out with ya. I don't say this to many people, but you're not a chump. Or at least not as much of a chump as the rest of the people in this world." After saying those last words to Zaiden, Shinya left Palm Beach behind, glad that he decided to come here in the first place.
OOC: Shinya leaves Palm Beach and heads back to the Rock Pool.

MOD NOTE: Fletchling NOT IN ACTIVE PARTY in thread! ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: -- | Time: ---
Yadoku rushed past the defeated Krabby without a second thought. He immediately scooped the small rock that Zaiden had pointed out up in his hands and hopped back over to his trainer. The battle was over, and they had managed to remain victorious on the other side of it. When the small yellow bug spoke up, the poisonous dart frog casually cast a side glance in Joltik’s direction. Thanks? Oh, yeah, that was something some Pokes did when they helped out their team members, huh… “Rock!” He held up his new prize like a toddler that had been given the largest lollipop inside of a candy store. “Shiny, pretty rock…and it’s all mine!” He smiled, rubbing the rock against the side of his face as he clung tightly to it.Yadoku might have tried to thank Joltik in his strange way as he loved on his newfound prize, but it was really anyone’s guess what went on fully inside of his head.
Zaiden waved goodbye to Shinya as the other trainer turned to leave. “You’re not all bad inside.” He commented, breaking barriers to find his voice. “Thanks!” He added, thanking Shinya for his help. The beige teenager was a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions – most of which, he would have a difficult time finding words for. Shinya was affiliated with a gang of sorts so there was no way that such a law abiding citizen as Zaiden could truly foster a long lasting friendship with him. Right? But he had seen with his own eyes how Shinya could put his differences aside and help another person – and another Pokemon – out in the midst of a battle. There was something worth saving deep down inside of Shinya’s soul. Something beyond the Team Skull exterior that he seemed to wear with pride.
So…how did he connect to that person underneath? Was Shinya the sort of criminal that should pay for crimes he may have done in the past, or a lost soul that had joined with the wrong group at a young age? Could Zaiden reach to the person before it was too late and help them see a better path on the other side? Even if there were crimes that Zaiden knew nothing about, surely paying for your crimes and coming out a better person in the light of society was the way to go? The young teenager wandered aimlessly across the bright sandy beach as he hung his head low and furrowed his eyebrows together. His mind was heavy with thought and his heart ached with complex emotions. Yadoku leaned against Kamejima as they followed their trainer, each seemingly bothering the other. “Get off!” The turtle puffed up, sending out vines to slap her partner silly. “I’m…not…A SEAT!” She huffed. But Yadoku, still mesmerized, just kept staring at his precious rock.

As Shinya left the beach the wild Pokemon in the area started to feel a bit more brave now that there was only a single trainer trespassing in their home. One Pokemon in particular felt it was finally time to rid the beach of the vermin once and for all as it slowly waddled towards Zaiden. The extra plump Psyduck was one of the strongest in the area and it was in no mood to put up with a trainer capturing any more Pokemon. As it got close enough to gain his attention it let out a loud "PSY" to get Zaiden's attention. Once it had made itself known it slowly continued to waddle towards him as it's pockets of fat and muscle bounced up and down like a bowl full of jelly. The plump Psyduck made it clear in no uncertain terms that it was planning on battling Zaiden and planned to win so that the human would have no choice other than to leave before getting attacked. Like most Psyduck it was not very smart however and it had totally underestimated how many Pokemon Zaiden had on him though the duck Pokemon hardly cared as it thought it could defeat a whole army. Psyduck stood right in front of Zaiden an pointed at him as some of the ducks fat pockets drooped down. It was quite clear this one had not exercised in some time instead it had been feasting a bit too much. Even being out of shape it was a high leveled Psyduck for the area however and the brave water type would accept nothing less than Zaiden's surrender before it would be a happy duck again. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/psyduck.png) Psyduck (Level 15) challenges Zaiden to a battle.
