Shinya Stinger: Secluded Beach's Rock Pool First Encounter

Wild Poliwag [Lv 10]
Encountered here

Shinya knew right from the start that catching Pokemon with his bare hands wouldn't be easy, and that some of the Pokemon that lived in this pool would likely try to snap at him if he tried, but just added to the thrill for him. The Team Skull grunt rather enjoyed the hint of danger that went along with this, never losing his grin for a second as he continued the search. Besides, it wouldn't be the first time a Pokemon bit, pinched, or burned his hands. It was entirely possible that he enjoyed those thrills a little too much. But as soon as he felt something slimy, he wasted no time and immediately grabbed onto it, pulling it out of its hiding place. However, Shinya lost his grin when he saw what it was, looking rather disappointed with his first catch.

"A Poliwag? Tch. I was hopin' for somethin' with a little more...bite. But whatever. If nothin' else, this'll be a good chance to train up the new recruits. Get in there, Surskit!" The Bug type trainer grabbed one of his poke balls and tossed it up into the air, sending one of his Pokemon out to face the wild Poliwag in battle. When Surskit appear, it was perfectly balanced on top of the crystal-clear water, showing no signs of sinking at all, as it took a look around. "Sur? Surskit? Sur!" However, the Bug/Water type immediately started to cower in fear, seeing that she had been sent into battle against a foe that had a massive lead on her in terms of level. Seeing this, Shinya was immediately displeased with his Pokemon's weakness, reaching for another item in his bag as he spoke to her.

"Relax, Surskit. I only sent ya out so you could gain some experience, but ya won't be doing any actual battling right now. So, just sit back and get ready to level up." Shinya informed his Pokemon, finding the item he was looking for in his bag and pulling it out. The item in question was a Net Ball. The perfect Poke Ball for capturing Bug and Water type Pokemon. And given the environment they were currently located in; Shinya knew that there must've been plenty of both around. So, without missing a beat, Shinya gripped the Net Ball, got his grin back, and threw it as hard as he could at the wild Poliwag. "Alright, Net Ball! Get it!" The Net Ball ended up hitting Poliwag right between its eyes before sucking it inside, as Shinya and Surskit watched, hoping that the Tadpole Pokemon would stay inside.

OOC: Net Ball used on Poliwag. Also, another 437 words added to Shinya's Yanma egg. This is in addition to the 550 words from his last post, for a total of 987. And Shinya does have a Heat Lamp by the way. Thanks.

Venominon apologies for not getting it asap with my post, but I fixed the egg count and added +550 for last post.
Mod, Shinya should only need the +437 from this post added to their Yanma egg!

The round blue tadpole had no way to know what to expect from this strange creature. It tilted its head sideways and stared up at the large human for a second as it tried to gain a better understanding of what Shinya was. When the Surskit materialized out of thin air, the small blue tadpole jumped backwards and thwacked its tail on the ground as if sounding an alarm. Several Pokemon that were hidden in the small caves under the rocks in the pool all came scurrying out and rushing off as far away as they could manage. They were quick, and Poliwag’s battle would afford them ample of time to make a beeline away before they could be tracked down. Well, hopefully.

“Poli poli poliwag! Poliwag poli! Wag? Poliwag!” The small fish-like Pokemon spoke up to the Surskit, questioning Shinya’s existence and where the Pokemon had come from. It wanted to know if Surskit had used Teleport to appear in thin air like that and if the large human behind the Surskit was some strange looking Pokemon. It also asked why the strange ‘Pokemon’ didn’t just fight its own battles and why the Surskit was so determined to defend Shinya with its own life. “Poliwag poli. Poli poli!” It also promised not to hurt the Surskit if the Pokemon didn’t attack it and if both the Surskit and its trainer promised to leave it alone. Couldn’t they understand that they were trespassing on Poliwag’s home and not the other way around? Wouldn’t they know how to show Poliwag a little empathy in that respect?

Though, the bright greenish-blue ball with black netting draped over its top soared through the air and remained true on its mark. It would scoop the small tadpole up with a single beam of red light. The Net Ball wiggled sporadically on the ground as soon as it landed, giving several large shakes as its inhabitant kicked and bashed against the inside of the container and tried to break free. After seconds that must have felt like hours, a small chime would sound to announce a successful capture. Soft, muttering noises of other hidden Pokemon barely whispered on the open wind and no doubt they were all talking about what they had just witnessed.
