Call Of The Wild (Forest) [F]

[Morrigan]

Charging at Joey with a greedy look to it's eye, the chunky Lickitung intended to eat Joey whole, if not atleast get a good lick of him. As a Pokemon who yearned to experience all tastes of the world, even humans would fit into that category. Especially since being in the Safari Zone, it didn't meet that many of them. Thankfully for the lithe and agile Joey, it wouldn't be hard in avoiding the plodding lummox. Ignoring the desperate words of the human, the long tongued Pokemon aimed for it's meal with high hopes of it being delicious but Joey had found a way to intervene. He just hoped it would be enough to keep the Lickitung off of his back for a moment. Swooping down and grabbing a rock, he managed to throw it with a stern flick of his wrist, the pebble going straight down the throat of the pink Pokemon. Freezing on the spot, all of a sudden an incredibly loud "YOOOOOOOO!" echoed throughout the forest. Regurgitating the rock back up moments later, the Lickitung once again "BLEUGH!"'d and continued on with it's chase after Joey.

Watching as it snatched up the rock he had chucked its way, Joey looked bewildered as the Pokemon instead gulped it down and seemed to be rather taken with it. "You gotta be kiddin' me! That's not tasty! Even Tubs would rubbish that." He had spoken too soon however. No sooner had a loud cry out in the forest made them both jump, did the Lickitung decided to cough it back up and spit it out with a mighty bleugh. "Gah, called it!"

Shaking his head and watching as the Lickitung caught its breath, Joey pondered to himself the owner of the loud cry. "Wonder what that was. Didn't sound like a Pokemon. Maybe the safari owners have realised i've sneaked in. Best wrap this up, in that c-WOAH!" Realising the Lickitung had resumed its gluttonous rampage, Joey leapt backwards as he primed a Safari Ball, tossing it forward the moment he landed with enough space between them. "So you liked rocks huh? How about these apples?!"

- Joey throws a Safari Ball -

[Tiki]

After tossing the rock and then the Safari Ball at the licking lizard, the Pokemon wasn't aware that licking a Safari Ball came with the side effect of being warped into a capture device. So then, the pink Pokemon struggled to get out.

It shook to the right.

Ding! On second thought, maybe if it stayed with the human, it would get to eat fine human cuisine! Alright, the LIckitung thought about stopped fighting and enjoy what the human world have got to offer. Cheese, pizza, candies, noodles, pastas, deep fried cake, ice cream. Surely this human would treat him good if the Lickitung behave?

GRAYE'S MARINADES

Keeping a close eye on the capture device, Joey leaned back and let out a momentary sigh of relief. "The way that thing was comin' after me... Sheesh. Hm? Oh." Cut off from his thoughts as the Safari Ball resonated with a successful capture, Joey beamed with his trademark grin. "Hah hah! That's how you do it. Least I can resume walkin' about at my own kinda pace without fear of bein' licked up and chewed. And then bleurghed out. Grargh." Picking up the ball and pocketing it away, he decided to give one last look around in the forest. From the looks of things, the wardens had picked up on his presence so there was no doubt they would hone in on him shortly. "Sure I can squeeze in just oooooone more encounter." Clapping his hands together and then proceeding to rub them enthusiastically, he pushed past some high grass and through a myriad of trees to see what else would be there to greet.

OOC: Last encounter so I have to say, it's been a great expedition.

And hooray Lickitung! Boxing for now:


Lickitung
Name: Schlurp
Gender: Male

Attacks: Stomp, Wrap, Knock Off, Defense Curl
Ability: Own Tempo

With only a little bit of time remaining for his safari extravaganza, Joey was on the hunt looking for anything to make his last journey here memorable.. With the addition of Lickitung, Joey was free to continue searching for the brief amount of time he had left. He also saved himself the possibility of getting ambushed by the... gross Pokemon. Rustles in the trees above hinted at a Pokemon watching from the treetops as Joey began to progress, thinking he'd make it to the trees on the Horizon. However, the rustling continued until a white mass jumped from the canopy into the path in front of Joey. It seemed as though his last safari adventure was going to come to him. When the shower of leaves and stray branches finished falling from the canopy, the white furred Pokemon stood to it's full height, beating it's chest for a moment before eyeing Joey.

Chest heaving with the fall and adrenaline, Vigoroth took a moment to catch it's breath. It dropped to all fours before beginning to step forward slightly, fur bristling with the building irritation of sitting still. Sniffing at the air, Joey still smelled like a hairless, smelly Vigoroth to it. After a few moments it would be clear to Joey that this was the same Vigoroth that Joey had failed to capture earlier in the forest. Having watched Joey's progression, Vigoroth had picked the opportune moment to jump down and end Joey's safari, whether it had realized it or not. Given the nature of the rather skiddish, albeit odd Pokemon, it would probably be best to act quickly as it's fur began to bristle with fervor. Stomping it's feet occasionally, Vigoroth watched Joey with interest, curious on what the strange man would do next.




A Wild Vigoroth (Level 26) has come back!

Progressing through the zone, he checked every so often the back of him. Maybe it had just been thanks to the previous encounter with that Lickitung but he was just making sure that the long tongued menace hadn't managed to slobber on him without realising. Before he could fully check up on his back, the sudden entrance of another Pokemon had in stop dead in his tracks. He had been aware of some movements in the canopies above but it had been a more concerted approach in keeping subtle. Taking in the sight of the newly encountered Pokemon, Joey beamed from ear to ear as he realised it had to be the rather goofy Vigoroth he had seen dash off previously. "Hah hah hah! Seems like we meet again. I see you took my advice from last night. Nice, nice, very nice! Tell ya what, it was a solid 7/10 effort. You at least didn't make it painfully obvious you were there. A bit more practice and I could make you the stealthiest Pokemon this side of Johto."

Watching as the Pokemon sniffed away incessantly, he couldn't help but laugh. "Pft, I get it. I pong a bit. Doesn't help i've been adventurin' around on this safari for a couple of days." Cocking a cheeky grin, he decided it would be a pretty decent conclusion if he could welcome this nutter of a creature into his fold. The fact they had bumped into one another once more was a sign surely. That or the Pokemon had been stalking him all this time. "You do know this is where we might have to say goodbye. I kinda sneaked into the place and now some people are gonna kick me out." Pulling a rather saddened look, Joey shrugged. "You don't want that do you?" Despite his saddened act, he reverted to his cocky grin as he pulled out from his stash of safari balls. "But you could come with? Just sayin'." Leaving the proposal on the table, he primed the capture device and lobbed it on over. Would this time be any different? At least the Vigoroth was familiar with him now.

OOC: mfw return encounter of this precious creature

[Morrigan]

It was simply amazing. The Vigoroth who had fled Joey only a short while ago had returned in all of it's snorting and sniffing glory. Quite energetic, the white furred creature couldn't quite sit still, as it's nose and throat made various grunt like noises as it continued to take in the human scent. Something about Joey was off, likely his lack of thick, white fur but otherwise, he came across as something that would be able to dwell within the forest, so it simply didn't understand. But not as much as the mod, who managed to roll a number low enough to ensure Joey's successful capture of the wild, safari creature. Listening to Joey's words, the Vigoroth couldn't help but sniffle at his tale. First, he complimented the Pokemon and now he is going to be kicked out, never to be seen again? It was atrocious! All the curious Vigoroth wanted was to be friends and perhaps learn some more stealth techniques, hence it's appearance once more. Sniffing the odd looking Safari Ball in Joey's hands, the wild Pokemon didn't budge this time as the object was thrown. Having rolled a low fourteen from an already low percent capture rate, it seemed that his adventure within the Safari Zone was going to end with a successful capture of a Vigoroth.

DING DONG!
Joey has met his final encounter! It is time to leave the Safari Zone!

[The REAL Joey]

GRAYE'S MARINADES

Realising this time around the Pokemon was a lot more relaxed around Joey, he had high hopes the Pokemon would accept the invitation to travel with Joey. He had developed a soft spot for the mammal's bizarre antics. Watching as the Safari Ball rolled from side to side before flashing with a small glow at the centre accompanied with a ping, Joey then punched the air in victory. "Aww yeah! Seems like I had a right good session looting this safari." Grabbing the ball, he heard the announcement over the speaker phone and realised he had really been pushing his luck. "Alright, alright. Don't have to tell me twice. I had a good stint. Time to split before they call the cops. Last thing I want is the bloody fuzz chasin' me off the island." Heading back in the direction he had entered from, he just hoped he'd be able to hop over the fence like he did originally.

OOC: Alright! I'm glad I lucked out there. Yet another Pokemon ticked off the wishlist.


Vigoroth
Name: Marsellus
Gender: Male
Level: 26
Moves: Slash, Encore, Uproar, Endure
Ability: Vital Spirit
Nature/Personality: Likes to snort and sniff. Something of a accident prone klutz. Originally met Joey in the Forest section of the Safari Zone, it had began stalking him unsuccessfully and fled their original encounter. It was only when Joey was about to leave that the inquisitive Marsellus returned and decided to leave with the biker. Seems to be interested in learning the art of stealth from Joey.
