As both the Pokemon he was after and a Volbeat appeared in front of him Tyler was in total disbelief. He did not expect the elusive Pokemon to appear so quickly however once he got a good look at the psychic type he quickly regretted the search as he found Gothita to be far too ugly for his liking. " So this ugly thing is Gothita? I was expecting something a bit less harsh on the eyes. A shame I wasted so much time looking for it but that Volbeat on the other hand looks like a pretty strong one." As he watched the two Pokemon try to partner up against them he felt a display of power was very much warranted. Without Tyler saying a word Fenrir stepped forward to face the two Pokemon.

" I have not faced either of these species before but I shall give it my all. My Aura Sphere should soften Volbeat up enough without knocking it out at least I hope." Fenrir then started to build up a sphere of aura energy as Tyler turned his attention to Astrid curious to see which Pokemon she might use. He hoped he would not need to come to her rescue as he wanted to continue his search and training elsewhere as soon as he could. " Fenrir here should not have any trouble dealing with Volbeat, which Pokemon will you be using against Gothita?" He asked still trying to keep his cool and not let Astrid pick up on any hint that he was more than just a stranger.

Her ealier words about strength echoed throughout Tyler's mind as though he did like to mess from foes from time to time he preferred a true show of strength over any other option whenever he was able to put his full power on display. As he was trying not to get into a fight with the elderly trainer however he hoped that having a noble Pokemon such as Lucario would put her mind to ease and not raise any alarm bells in her head. " Fenrir fire when ready, that Volbeat might be really useful if we can capture it before we head out. This Cleanse Tag really seems to be coming in handy right now." As he admired the power of the mysterious item Fenrir had finally built up enough energy to launch his attack. All Tyler could do now was watch and hope that Volbeat would endure the powerful attack and not get knocked out.


OOC: Coming up with an excuse as to why Tyler is letting Astrid have the Gothita. Fenrir uses Aura Sphere on Volbeat.

Tyler kept ignoring Ramsey's question and generally acted like the ranger wasn't there at all, it did not fit the man very well and he kept glaring at Tyler, although he didn't demand any answers from him. Instead he hoped Astrid would keep the other trainer occupied and leave him to work in piece as he searched through the soak wilderness for clues of the abandoned pokemon. He would return with several which to Astrid could sound like it could be anything, and he would express frustration that the rain made it harder for him.
"It is around here somewhere," Ramsey said and glared at Tyler since the other trainer still hadn't told them what he was searching for. Astrid nodded encouragingly well protected by her raincoat.

Pia came swooping back and urged them to follow her and a moment later showed them a gothita and a volbeat who seemed to be squabbling.
"They probably want to get out of the rain," Astrid commented as she watched them in the tree, she winced when the black pokemon was pushed out of the tree and fell to the ground. The old woman looked surprised at Tyler when she heard what he had to say about the gothita, but Ramsey took the word before she got to answer him.
"That's it! Astrid, quick! Catch it before it gets away!" The ranger shouted and the old woman looked shocked at him as she jumped right in front of Tyler and spread his arms to block him from attempting to catch the gothita. "I'm not going to let you take it! It needs rehabilitation by a professional and care, which you cannot give it!" He stared Tyler down, challenging him to protest.

Astrid sighed and shook her head, "please Rita, let the gothita know we're here to help it," Astrid told her and Rita sent her a weird look, why would that help anything? The raticate knew that it certainly would just make herself more suspicious.
Astrid turned to Tyler, "why were you after it in the first place, if you did not know how it looked?" She asked and then with a frown added, "how would you know you found what you searched if you did not know how it looked?"
"Rita is a dark type, she will not take much damage from the gothita, hopefully we can get it to come peacefully," she explained and Rita rolled her eyes, as if. The gothita looked to be ready to fight anything, and if it had had bad experiences with humans, it was not going to come along willingly.

Rita stepped forward and her whiskers twitched nervously, "I know you won't believe me, but the humans here wants to help you," she called to the gothita and shot an apologetically glance at the volbeat since it sounded like it would be stuck with the other harsh sounding trainer.
Silvia shouted much more aggressively, "we're not going to leave with out you, so suck it up and come along," she grinned as Rita looked at her horrified. "What? It's the truth, no need to coat it in sugar," the seadra defended herself, "watch out! Here it comes!"

(ooc: Rita uses Super Fang on gothita I have checked this several time to make sure I picked the right Fang move XD . I too, tried to come up with a reason for Tyler not being able to catch the gothita )

The Volbeat is trying to keep its nest secured until it got attacked by a blue energy ball coming from a upright dog with a strange spike on its chest. The Volbeat is already irritated thanks to the Gothita and the new attacker isn't helping the mood. As the Gothita is trying to get back up in the tree to stay dry, it gets a bit curious about the trainers but isn't up for a fight with them until it gets attacked. The toothy attack from the dark raticate caught gothita by surprise.

The volbeat uses the bug version of struggle against the dog and barely gets any fur off of the opponent. Gothita's pound turns out to be more of a light pat on the dark raticate. They both realize that they are outclassed and try to look around for a way to escape.

>>What do you want with us?<<

>>What is the meaning of this?<<

The two wild Pokemon complain to their attackers.

Tyler took a few moments to think of a good answer to Astrid's question. In all honesty he had just heard a Pokemon not normally known to appear in the Twilight Glade started to appear recently and he wanted to try and capture it. " I admit I should have done more research before I showed up. It would have saved me a lot of trouble if I would have seen an image of that thing first." He said before he turned to face Fenrir who barely felt a thing from.the previous attack. As much as he wanted to unleash another display of force he knew it was not the time for that.

Instead he grabbed one of his Ultra Balls and took aim at Volbeat intending to capture the bug now that it had taken quite a bit of damage from Fenrir's Aura Sphere. " Alright Fenrir just stand by just in case. This Ultra Ball should do the job but it doesn't hurt to be prepared if the worst case happens. Go Ultra Ball capture that Volbeat." He then watched as the ball sped towards it's target. He just hoped it wouldn't find some way to break out.





OOC: Sorry for the short reply but my muse just wasn't great. I wanted to still reply in some way so I would not hold poor Tarlar up.Tyler tosses an Ultra Ball at Volbeat. Updating myself.

"Ramsey! Step back! He's not going to catch the gothita, you heard him!" Astrid protested as her partner was jumping up and down in front of Tyler. The other trainer was too stoic to show any reaction to him, which just made the ranger look silly.
"Then catch the gothita!" Ramsey demanded stubbornly and Astrid sighed and gave a blue pokeball with red marks to Silvia. "Can you please try hit the gothita with this one? I do not think we can get him to stop before we have it safe in our possession," the old woman said and Silvia nodded and rolled her eyes over the stubborn ranger. Astrid held the pokeball in front of the seadra who took aim and then used water gun to shoot the great ball at the black and white pokemon.

Rita's sharp teeth found her mark this time, and without any need of second attempts. Perhaps she was feeling more secure and trusted her partners would watch her back? Or perhaps their opponents just looked so non threating that she didn't panic and feel like she needed to keep an extra eye on an escape route? Or perhaps she felt more confident? Although that was unlikely as she had just panicked against a pair of opponents which had been equally young and inexperienced as this pair. Perhaps she had just simply found a save way out if she needed and therefore had fewer problems keeping her head in the game.

The black coated raticate backed off and tensed in preparation for the retaliation, after having pulled the gothita down from the tree and into the rain. She blinked once when she got what almost felt like a light pat on the chin, and she glanced at the gothita when it complained.
"I'm sorry, we're here to take you with us, out of the rain and into a nice warm home and plenty of food," Rita said and kept a close eye on them, she could easily recognize the signs of pokemon trying to find an escape route.
"It will be alright, you'll like it!" She promised not thinking about that Tyler might be a quite different kind of trainer than Astrid.
"Do you know what a home is? Do you know how it is being with humans?" She asked kindly and the pokeballs soon came flying over her head.

The large blue firefly with his bright red crown, long yellow antennas and black back floated up above the Gothita and his opponents as his eyes widened. He didn’t like the looks of the battle. When the humans began to rummage around in their supplies and pull out small spherical devices, he definitely didn’t like the looks of where things there headed. “They’re going to try to capture us!” The Volbeat called out in alarm, spinning around dramatically in the air in preparation to zip off as fast as he could. “It’s every bug for yourself! Run, little Gothita, run!” The lightning bug warned. He would immediately fly off as fast as his small, translucent wings could carry him. The small black ball with its bright yellow markings on the top of its dome flew after the Volbeat in hot pursuit.

The small purple humanoid Pokemon with its large white ‘bows’ on the side of its head and black-and-white striped body stared at Astrid and Tyler with large blue eyes. Nervously, it began to slowly back away from them. It’s entire body was trembling from head to toe. When Volbeat called out to the small Fixation Pokemon, it jumped in alarm and spun around on the tips of its feet as it prepared to make a mad dash through the forested region as well. But, when Rita spoke up the Gothita paused in its tracks and spun back around to face the black rodent. “Really? All the food I could eat?” It asked curiously, placing a hand to its chin. “And…and no one will be mean to me? Not ever?” It asked with large blue eyes that pleaded for the Raticate to promise it that everything would be alright. When the Great Ball soared after the Gothita, the Pokemon would welcome its own capture with open arms.

Both Pokeballs would immediately drop to the ground and roll around as the Pokemon struggled inside. The Volbeat’s ball seemed to bounce and jump around much more than the Gothita’s. The Volbeat struggled inside of the Ultra Ball as it fought and clawed its way to freedom. There was no way that this Pokemon was going to give in so easily. It had to fight for its freedom and couldn’t let this be the end! After three long awaited wiggles and one loud ding, the Volbeat’s Ultra Ball would stop moving after being successfully caught. The Gothita only wiggled twice, though barely, before dinging in succession. It had largely accepted its fate, and gladly so.
