Cypress Rest: Daimen Wild Encoutner #2

[Tarlar]

A highly alert Litleo [lvl 10]

Encountered here

[Lamont]

Damien watched, both impressed and a little worried, as his hound set to work vigorously. It was a wonder whether the herdier had actually found something or was simply trying to rush into something, anything, that would see the task done. The ranger could only hope that he hadn't put too much pressure on Booker or made him feel inadequate for the job.

Domino kept a good eye on the canine as he descended the ridge. The young sobble's gaze deviating ahead of where he guessed Booker was headed, checking back and adjusting frequently. Very quickly the herdier started giving positive signs of a real track, making the ranger a bit antsy about the amount of distance he was gaining. Damien didn't want to leave Domino alone though. Of the two, Booker was probably the more capable of fending for himself for a moment but that didn't provide too much comfort to the young man.

"Boble!" the water type chirped his alert, lifting a finger to point some distance into the forest. Damien tried to follow the invisible line, using Booker's heading for assistance, but the array of trees didn't frame anything of interest.
"Where?"
Dominoe hesitated, craning his neck back and forth. He'd lost sight. The ranger reached down to pluck the little one from the ground and offer his shoulder as a perch. Along the way the sobble chirped again, and once secured on his new perch patted Damien's shoulder and gave indication of a direction. So the boy went.

Once near the base of the hill it was hard to keep track of Booker weaving between the trees and bushes. And he'd gone quiet. Likely to sneak up on whatever he'd found. Damien didn't like that. He'd prefer he knew where his pokémon was, even at risk of having to give a bit of chase.

The boy barely got time to finish that thought when a ruckus picked up not too far ahead. Booker was barking and the hiss of another pokémon could he heard. They were callouts, not battle cries. The ranger began to run. Dominoe's finger helped keep him on track as they moved around stumps and thickets to eventually lay eyes on Booker and the pokémon of interest: litleo. Booker was keeping his distance, but pressuring the feline into as much a corner as he could manage in an attempt to keep the fire type from fleeing.

"Excellent work Booker! Dominoe," he paused to side glance his shoulder buddy. Of who looked suddenly surprised, "You're up. Water Gun."

The sobble seemed unsure. He momentarily gripped Damien's shoulder harder before taking a deep breath and hopping down.

Dominoe's watery dribble over the feline did not win him any favors with the cornered beast. Embers were thrown onto the battle field, instantly causing a shiver to shoot down Damien's spine, and singed the slick tadpole a bit.
"Don't let them spread," he instructed after his pokémon had delivered his attack. Dominoe momentarily glanced back to see his trainer pointing off side to a bundle of lit sparkles amidst some charred dead fall leaves. The ranger then caught Booker's attention and had him cover any openings that would be left while Dominoe re-positioned to quench the cinders. He smiled as the two went about their tasks.

But what to do with the litleo?
He watched as the cautious cat, ears back, assessed the situation it was in. He didn't want to rough it up too much. It felt a bit different being the one to specifically chase after a pokemon. Usually it was flipped.
"Keep it in position you two."

The red clad boy quickly slipped his bag off his shoulder and delved inside for one of his pokéballs. It couldn't hurt to do one now, see how it goes, and adjust if needed. No reason to unnecessarily attack the young lion.

Dominoe took point while Booker hung back. After a moment to get the ball in hand and some time to gauge a toss the pokéball was in the air.

[Caramell 🍬]

Litleo jumped out of the Pokeball with a mighty roar! Something in its eyes seemed to say not this time, coppa'. Oh what, pray tell, will Damien and Domino do?! Litleo attacks again with a powerful Tackle attack! Ouch.

The ball had barely closed before being cracked back open by the wild pokémon. He was too slow to give any order to his own team and as a result Dominoe ended up tumbling across the forest floor with a pained wail.
"Booker, c-defend!" he stuttered once, changing his choice of words midway as a thought occurred to him. Perhaps his hound was only helping make the litleo fight against them even harder. It wasn't his intent to instill fear in the young cat.

The herdier scampered back to take point in the battle whilst the ranger in equal haste recalled his sobble. The poor water type was still reeling from the feline's latest attack.
"You did great Dominoe, time for a rest," the boy managed the praise once Dominoe was in the safety of his pokéball. He quickly secured the device on his belt so he could return his attention to the battle. Booker had thankfully not taken any action to attack litleo, as no doubt that would likely leave an opening for the fire cat to escape.
"Keep it contained boy. Going to give this another try."

Booker continued hanging back and routing Litleo when necessary whilst Damien pulled out another pokéball.

The litleo tackled Booker ferociously but the big herdier wasn't faced by it, the pokeball sucked it in a moment later and despite its best effort, the litleo failed to resist it and it was caught.

Booker easily withstood the attack and gains 500exp (1200/2791)
He also gains +1 happiness (+10)


Domino helped and grows +1 level to [lvl 8]
He can learn Bind if he forget another move.
He also gains +1 happiness (+1)

Congratulations! You caught the litleo!
