[Tarlar]

Shellder [Lv 10] curious but wary of the new and unknown pokemon, it wants to join the play.
Fog will be in effect
Encountered here

[kinjosenchi]

The waters rippled forward and backwards as Senchi wiggled his toes inside of the small current. A little disappointed none of the other trainers noticed him he gave a deep sigh. It didn't look like was going to make any other trainer friends. Oh well, at least his pokemon was having fun. Noticing a Shellder interacting Azula. He leaned back a little to watch as to what would happen.

Azula continued it's splashing, playing with Neji and Tesshu as they were joined by the shell type Pokemon. Looking puzzled at it's question. A Poliwag? That seemed different and she wasn't quite sure how to respond. But the shell pokemon wanting to play was very welcomed. She didn't have much water play with any of her team members.

(" Azurill! Azuril. Azurill. " "No I'm not a Poliwag, but I'm an Azurill. I'm not related to the wag family but we are both water types. Sure, you can definitely join in. My Pidgey friend Neji is flying over creating waves. On the bank here is Tesshu. He's not much for water, he's an insect but really great to be around. a little of a joker as well. On the rock curled up is Emith. She's not up for water for. She prefers heat and dry land being she's a fire type and the human is our trainer.")

The tiny fire lizard rolled her eyes not wanting any part of the water escapades. It just annoyed her and to be truthful she just wanted to rest and stay dry at this moment.

"Charmander ! Char. (" I don't mind introducing my self but I'll skip out on the fun this time. I'm Emith, a Charmander, and the leader of this here group.")

Saying as she turned the opposite way giving her back to the rest of the party and the newcomer. Tesshu just gave a shake of his head, there she was again trying to assert her dominance. Letting it ride at the moment, the tiny caterpillar would get the lizard back later. Turning his attention back to the shell pokemon giving a smile.

"Wurmple! Wurmp. Wurmple. ("Don't mind her, she's always like this but not so bad once you get to know her.")

Neji landed on a small bed or rocks his talons feeling the warm salty liquid rush over theme. The avion and lizard had a rivalry of sorts, but they were friends none the less. Although Neji wasn't afraid to raise his voice to the fire type.

"Pidgey! Pide." (" Don't mind that hot head ! Tesshu is right she's always like this.")

Azula waved her hands in attempt to stop a fuss before it started. They had just maid a new friend and didn't want to scare the water type away.

" Azurill. Azu? Azuril. Azu? (" Guys chill ok. Let's not scare our new friend here. So what type of game do you have in mind ? I'm a pretty decent shoot as well. What do you have in mind for a game?")

She said as Senchi looked on his team. They were having a discussion about something and he wondered what it was. Adjusting his position slightly he removed a rice ball with a red wrapping from his backpack.

Shellder blinked for a second and studied the strange looking water mouse. It had a long tail that shot out of its body, but it was still a round blue creature much like the Poliwag. How could they be unrelated if they look so similar to each other? The gentle waves of the poolside lapped around the large bivalve as it tried to study the small mouse and pinpoint out the differences for itself. “Well…you have ears and Poliwag don’t…” It noted aloud. “And your tails are different from each other. And Poliwag had white stomachs with spiraling black marks on them while you don’t.” Shellder only nodded as Azurill introduced it to all of her friends. “Nice to meet you all!”

It hopped over towards Emith for a moment and studied the leader impressively. She looked strong as though she had endured a lot of tough fights to get to where she was in her life. That scared the Shellder a bit, truth be told. It preferred to tuck itself inside of its shell unless it knew it had to fight and didn’t want to join the older bivalves who often battled over territory and food. It loved playing – real fights weren’t as fun as the make believe games that it often did with the other smaller and younger Pokemon, such as the young Poliwags it would play with from time to time.

Then Tesshu spoke up, and Neji, too. So many Pokemon all around it! Shellder tucked itself inside of its shell and hid for a second when they seemed to almost disagree about each other and called each other names. “Hey guys, its ok!” It squeaked from inside of its shell and just barely parted the two shells to peer out at the group. They didn’t all start fighting with each other? Usually, when one Pokemon called another a name in the wild, that meant that there was going to be a really nasty fight to follow shortly after. How did they manage to settle their differences without such heated confrontation? “I thought we could play king of the castle! Or maybe tag! What do you think?” Shellder asked Azurill curiously.

You're welcome to roleplay it out differently than a normal 'pokemon battle pokemon', of course. For battle mechanics, we'll still treat it like one (Pokemon capture chances, level up opportunities, etc) since we work off game mechanics for the most part. ^^

[kinjosenchi]

Giving a chuckle as a warm salty mist splashed over Azula . The small shell creature was studying her pretty hard. She didn't mind though, she would probably have done the same if the Shellder had arrived in her home waters. "Azurill. Azuil.' (" Of course we are different, we are different species but that being said we may be related somewhere down the line as a distant relative. You sort of remind me of clamperl that live in my native waters but I can tell your different.") Saying as she swam backwards a little then dunked under the water for a second. "Azuil" ("It's nice to meet you as well.")



Continuing to lay on the hard stone Emith yawned a little, all of this talk of water games maid the fire type sleepy and board. she wasn't interested in type of play fighting. Something more real would have peaked her interest but none the less all she wanted to was rest at this moment. The small shell moved in to Emith's space, as the fire lizard turned toward the new comer as Neji and Tesshu took turns poking fun at her. With a quick snap of the head Emith was staring both of them down. "Char?" ("Want to make something of it ?")

Azula managed putting a stop toward the argument before it could really begin after all this was the first time in a long while the small Azurill had a water friend to play with. Tesshu gave a slight bow of his head before moving toward a rock of his own to rest, neither him or Neji felt like joining in either. The tiny bird type gave a chirp of introducing to it's self before taking to the air landing on it's trainer shoulder. As Senchi shared some of his rice ball watching in suspense. "Pidgey. Pidg." " ("Sorry we didn't mean to frighten you. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.")

" Azurill. Azu!" Azule (Tag sounds fun! let's play hide and tag! We'll use a very light version of our water attacks to make one another it. Once your found the you have to run untill I hit you or you hit me. Once you get hit your it then I have to go ahead. it's back and forth tell we both don't feel like playing anymore. I'll make you it first ok! So come and get me. ")

Saying as Azula spun around using her tail to splash water on the Shellder before diving under water swimming fast to hide behind some shallow water coral.


Azula used Tail whip.

(OOC: Yeah that actually sounds pretty awesome making the battle look like a game. I think it makes it fun and interesting 😜. )

[Caramell 🍬]

Shellder tilted itself slightly to the side and blinked curiously. It had never heard of a Clamperl before and didn’t know what to expect of them. Did it look similar to them, or did they look similar to it? Shellder closed its eyes and tried to picture what a Clamperl could look like. Maybe they were tall shellder with lots of spikes, but still much different looking than its evolved form? Or maybe it was just another evolution that Shellder had never heard of…though it felt like it should know all of the evolutions that it had. “What are those?” Shellder asked curiously enough. “Are they really spiky? I evolve into a Cloyster and they’re really spiky!” It giggled.

Shellder peeked out of its shell and smiled brightly. “It’s really nice to meet you all too!” Azula slapped the edge of the water and sent a spritz of water to hit its shell. The bivalve jumped up and spun around with a load gasp. It giggled and shook itself off to try and shake the water off as soon as it landed back on the sandy beach, though Azula had already. Where had its friend taken off to so fast?! “Ok…ok…hang on! I’ll get you! I’ll get you!” Shellder promised Azula and pulled itself into its shell tightly to withdraw. While tucked away inside of its shell, Shellder began wiggling itself back and forth in the dirt to bury itself, then crawled while halfway submerged into the ocean.

The waves lapped around its shell and sent it rocking back and forth while it dug through the wet sands after Azula. The small Azurill was faster than Azula was, though, and caused it to have to stop periodically and search underneath the sea for its swimming buddy. Once it spotted her, it would swim up in the water and chase after her while giggling cheerfully. “Hang on there…I almost got you…oh, there! There! You’re it now, you’re it!” Shellder laughed, barely tapping Azula on the edge of her tail, before spinning around and diving off in a hurry. It needed to get away as fast as it could to avoid Azula catching it again!

[kinjosenchi]

Azula felt the tap on her tail as she giggled performing a few twist and turns before turning to chase her new friend. She couldn't help but fell the rushing combination of adrenaline and joy. It truly felt like she was home once more, back playing with her brothers, sisters, and friends. With a push of her tail she sent her self rocketing after the shell pokemon. Win or lose didn't really play a stake in this game. At least it wasn't a true battle.

At first she had lost sight of her friend, the bottom had caused the bivalve to blind in and Azula's eyes weren't adjusted in picking out the target like some predator chasing its prey. She would find her self darting back and forth in search of the Shellder. It was cray how well the shell creature could blind in to the bottom, but as luck always does it eventually ran out. Azula notice her friend move just slightly as she rushed forward swimming in circles around her.

"Oh the Clamperl you we we're talking about. It's kind of like you but different. It has a dark blue sheel with a silver rim along the inner edges. The inner body is pink with a pearl shape head. It does evolve, but I think it has two evolutions after it's base form. Now what those are I don't know. They leave the cove at a very young age to go toward deeper waters. I have never seen the evolved form. " Azula said as she performed one last lap around her new friend. " Oh by the way! Your it!" Saying as she opened her mouth letting out a few small bubbles. They burst on the Shellder gently. Azula laughed as she swam backwards sticking her tung out playfully.

[Tarlar]

The shellder looked very puzzled at the what Azula could tell it, "really? They have more than one evolution?" It floated slowly to the bottom as it thought it over, forgetting the game momentarily. "I know I evolve once, and I know goldeen and wingull and psyduck and krabby all also evolves once, can you really evolve more than one time?" It asked and looked excitedly by the prospect, perhaps it too had a secret second evolution it had just never heard about before!
Most pokemon around in these waters only had one evolution and the few which had more often had left long before that happened, going to areas with more food and more competition simply since they could handle it and got to explore.
It looked awed at Azula, she really must have been everywhere if she knew that much! "How do you know? Where are you from?" It asked eagerly, perhaps it too could learn about the world further out in the deep waters? It had heard rumors that there should be other islands out there, much bigger islands and pokemon there it couldn't imagine.

Its eyes widened as the bubbles drifted towards it, it was right! They were playing a game of tag and Azula was tagged last, it had to avoid being hit and become the one again! It opened and closed its shell rapidly in an attempt to swim away and dodge the bubbles but it was way too slow, it panicked and Azula could feel the water getting several degrees colder. Ice formed in front of the shellder and then a couple of shards shot through the air, popped a few bubbles and continued through and bopped into the azurill.
The shellder shot its shell close just before the bubbles danced off its hard protection and the moment they were over, it popped open and rushed over to its new friend.
"Oh no, oh no, oh no! I'm sorry! Sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to, did it hurt?!" It exclaimed worriedly and tried to check whether it had ruin the game, which wouldn't be the first time that had happened.

Following the shell creature toward the bottom Azula laughed a little at the Shellder's question. She had found it some what humorous that Pokemon evolving more then once wasn't common knowledge. This little island must really shield the wildlife from the rest of the outside world. Having to think her answer over in a way the small bivalve could understand her.

Swimming quickly toward the bottom then back up toward her new friend Azula gave a smile. " Oh I know because I myself evolve three times. Once when I'm ready to myself, and for the last time with a stone containing the power of water. Infact every one of the Pokemon I'm traveling with evolves more then once. The largest of our evolutions will be Neji the flying type you seen. and the Fire lizard Emith. Oh.. and I know the Poliwag you have that live here evolve twice as well."

Azula couldn't help but smile brightly when asked about the area she came from, although she was very young when she left her home waters. " Oh my home area? It's the Hoenn region. It's southwest of this region, and the waters in this pool kind of remind me of the waters I was born in. Although, once I was caught I traveled a lot with my original trainer and seen many things. Now I'm with this trainer and starting to become very happy with him. Even though my companies like to fight a little to much for my taste.

The ice that struck the small round water type stunned her for a brief second knocking her breath away. At first she became furious and begin to lash out. This was only a game and not a real battle why had her new friend hit her so hard. "Hey! what's the big.. Hearing the apologies coming from the bivalve Azula regained control of her temper before she completely lost it. She was always quick to forgive by her nature, and infact she realized it was only an accident. Rubbing the spot the shards struck Azula gave a smile fighting through the pain. "Hey it's ok! Don't worry, I have been hit by a lot worse and besides it was an accident. Hey I just had an idea. After our game would you be interested in meeting my trainer? He's super nice and very carrying. Oh ! you should join us and travel with us! We can discover all the different types of evolution together! oh please!"

Azula looked on the bivalve with hopeful eyes as she let out a stream of bubbles once more as she maid sure not to let the attack be heavy enough to do any real damage. Oh ! You're It!" She just hopped she didn't run the Shellder away.

Azula | Ability: Thick Fat| L.V. 13l Attack: Bubble

[Tarlar]

Life on these islands, especially on the islands themselves and at the shores was their own little world secluded from the rest of the outside world by the ever changing whirl pools which surrounded them. It made any non flying pokemon rather trapped although few felt it as a prison as they rarely reached the pools anyway and there were plenty of space, food and other pokemon to fill your daily life. The pools also protected the islands inhabitants against troubles from the outside, and you could say that the pokemon (and humans) out on the other side of the whirlpools, where shielded from life on the island and how things worked here.
There could certainly be a few surprises in store, if they explored more in depth.

"Three times?!" The shellder exclaimed in disbelief and then did a quick headcount, "you have four forms?! That's crazy! How do you get so many when I only get two?" It listened closely to what Azula said and then frowned, "and your last one?" it asked intrigued, "that was two evolutions, you said you got three."

The shellder looked puzzled when the azumarill told about her home place, but the bubbles came flying and it got panicked and had to make it up for its new friend after hitting her with ice. "I'm sorry, most of the time when I get attacked, its because they will eat me," it said sadly and shivered, "there once was a wingull who carried me high into the air and let me fall, I was sure my shell would break but I landed in the water and I hid quickly!"

The shellder looked uncertain, "maybe," it said. It was a big decision to take after all, especially when it didn't know much about that supposedly big and scary world out there, it was a rather small and young pokemon and all the ones it knew stayed put in the safety of the coves. It remembered their earlier conversation and had more questions as it tried to take up the tag game again, "Hoenn? What's that? Are regions like our islands? How is it out there? My cousin says its full of sharpedoes and pelippers and that we'll be eaten alive!" It watched Azula's expression closely as she hopefully answered and then would ad almost in a whisper, "was it scary to get caught? Did it hurt?"

As the bubbles came this time the shellder was prepared and didn't panic, it closed a bit so that they bounced off its shell and then swam through the water to give Azula a light shove, "you're it!" it said although it didn't sound like it was fully in the game mentally, too many questions and big decisions to make.

[kinjosenchi]

The shear cold of the ice shards forced Azula's body in a shiver as the only saving grace for her was the warm tropical waters. With a smile the small water mouse laid back letting the current pull her tiny body as she thought about the Shellder's question of her home. Laughing a little the tiny water mouse circled her friend waving her tail back and forth. "Oh my home ? I haven't thought about it in many many years. My home in Hoenn was kind of like this, a small rocky sound the water was a mix of both fresh and slat water. I think the humans called it Brackish water. It wasn't really connected by many islands. More of a massive body of land, It's true we had the sea, but we also had fresh body's of water called lakes, rivers, and streams. There was mountains where it was cold all the time, kind of like your ice attack but it was always in the air. Then there was lush green prairies that went all for miles, and even dense Forrest. All of theme held many challenges and different ways of life for the Pokemon that lived in those biomes."

Azula took the time in attempting to explain what a biome was, and the difference areas that was being described by her and the difference way of life for each area the creatures inhabitanted . At least by the limited experience and knowledge of what she encountered. Moving toward the bottom the scooping up a small portion of sand in her small paws letting it syphon out slowly showing the bivalve giving a small sigh. "The worst of my region was the desert. Take the sand here and layer it with the entire land scape, remove the water and the wind could cause the grain to swirl in the air like jagged shells in a hurricane. The sun constantly beating down causing temperatures enough to boil the water, and nights that would freeze you but there wasn't even moisture in the air. The trainer I was with at the time took us there to capture fire, and ground types. I hated that experience. "

A small scent of smoke accompanied by a sweet aroma penetrated the aqua blanket that covered the as Azula smiled a little. Was her trainer cooking lunch ? It definitely smelled like it. Senchi would always prepare food for theme when he had the time. Given this was just an day to relax that was more then likely the case. Laughing loudly she circled the mollusk. "Oh you was asking about the predators in my home lands? The ones I had to worry of was . The bird types like Taillow, there evolved form Swellow if we traveled to close to waters edge. and of course you know of Winguil which stuck near the shallows and edge of the banks. In the deeper ocean there is sharpedoes and pelippers along with many other predators we had to worry about back home. .

Hearing the question of it being caught hurt Azula lost her self deep in thought thinking hard about the question. Trying to figure a way of how to answer the water mouse waved her paws around in a circular motion trying to find an answer. "No I can't say it hurt, but it was a very scary experience I'll never forget. I didn't have a choice in the matter as I had came across my trainer on a river bank. I was getting out of the water to warm up, and get some much needed oxygen. As a an aquatic mammal I can survive in both, but then I ran across my first trainer. Being the first wild Pokemon they had encountered, She sent out her grass type and defended fairly quickly. I was petrified when the capture device pulled me in and I couldn't escape. One good thing came out of this. The trainer I have now obtained me somehow. He's kind, he doesn't force us to battle and lets us make that choice on our own normally, he makes food for us so we don't have to find food on our own. He call's it cooking, but sometimes the food is to hot and I have to let it cool down before eating it. Oh and he doesn't keep us in our in the capturing devices unless he really has to. I don't think he likes the idea of it."

Titling her head a little to the side Azula couldn't help but wonder what was bothering the shell type. Bumping playfully in to the the Shellder a beaming warm smile was given. "Hey did I do something to upset you ?" Trying to think of a way to fix what ever was bothering her friend. "Hey! I got an idea, let's switch out the game to king of the castle. After we finish playing, join us for food. Even if you don't join us we could still eat with us if you wanted. My trainer makes amazing food. Oh and don't worry he won't try to catch you unless you attack first."

Climbing up on a rock sticking out of the water Azula wagged her tail playfully at the shell pokemon. " Come knock me off this rock! I'm king of the Castle! Giving a big laugh playful laugh.

Azula |L.V. 13|Ability: Thick Fat/ Attack: Tail Whip

[Tarlar]

The shellder looked incredulously at Azula awaiting her answer on how she got so many forms but the azurill seemed distracted with the later questions of Hoenn, and when she began to answer them, the shellder quickly forgot that thing as well.
As Azula hadn't specified how big a "region" was and all it knew was the islands, and not even all the islands, it couldn't fathom that it could be anything else bigger than that.
It swam to the surface and looked at the beach and the part of the island which was visible to it. It got distracted by looking at Kinjo and the other pokemon up there, who was doing some strange stuff, but one thing at a time. It dived again and and turned its attention to Azula.
"There are all that where you lived? So how many of those places did you explore in a day?" It asked, if there were that many things around in a place at the size of the island it knew, they would all have to be within seeing range and quick to go to and visit. "How was the sand removed from the desert?" It enquired as there were plenty of sand on the beach but the water was only few inches down and it could see how you could make something so dry when the ocean would be right beside it, right?
It nodded eagerly along with Azula's descriptions of predators, they sounded very familiar and if it was another island like this one, which Azula had lived on, then it would make perfectly sense.

Shellder didn't look to be assured much that the capture was scary, it seemed to be the biggest concern it has as it found it more and more interesting to learn about the world around the island which sounded to be so much bigger than it had ever imagined, and that was even though it imagined it rather small still.
"You don't like your pokeball now? I wouldn't like not being able to move at all when captured" It asked worriedly, "exploring with you sounds fun, but I don't like that pokeball thingy, I think." It sounded rather scary what Azula explained but then it frowned, "but you are still with a trainer and can move, does that mean you have been freed now you can move and walk around?"

It looked skeptically at the azurill, food which was warm sounded weird, it had always eating things fresh from the sea filtered from the water. "That doesn't sound edible," it said with a giggle.
It sent its new friend a little smile and shook its head, "only the pokeball thing," it said, "and so much to think about," it said slowly and seemed to be lost in thoughts again.
"What's that?" It asked curiously, Azula had so many new ideas and things to teach it, it had never heard about before. It followed her and looked at her up on the rock and giggled when she declared she was a king and that it should try push her down.
"Don't you mean Queen?" it called up to her as it swam around her and tried to figure out how to best get her down. It ended up forming some ice pebbles and then send them flying at her in the hope it would push her down.

"Oh yeah I probably should say that. It's what me and my siblings always said no matter if it was one of my sister's or a brother." The ice shards smacked her body as she shivered once more. Of course she would try to hold on to her footing but between the slippery wet of the rock and the sudden shock of pure cold Azula would find her self back in to the warm tropical waters. "Hey! That was a pretty decent shoot. Want to do a few more rounds. Now you have the crown and control of the castle. She swam around in circles with a smile on her face at all of the fun they we're having.

Azula giggled a little at the thought of visiting all of those places in one day. In fact it wasn't possible. The journey from one area to the other could take hours, days or even months depending on the destination. "There are some areas you can can visit in a day, but it might take you hours to get their, other spots would be a few days travel by land. To be honest I haven't visited every area. I know about some though. To travel the entire region it would probably take a few years. She had hoped that sized it up at least some for the shell pokemon. How could she explain the desert biome in a way of making sense of it for the Shellder. "The desert I'm telling you about. Imagine the entire cove covered in sand and very little plant life. Now is a months long journey from this very spot, with very little rain fall, hardly any plant life and the sun beating down on you with no cover all day.

Being able to understand the concern and fear of being caught the water mouse patted the bivalve on its shell in attempts to make it comfortable. "No I don't think any pokemon really does but if you luck up with a trainer that doesn't believe in keeping you in the device then it's not that bad. That was one other perk Azula had over most other caught pokemon. She could have a large amount of freedom compared to many other trainer owned pokemon. "You know, thinking about it yeah we can move around and have a lot of freedom. It helps in having a trainer that doesn't like keeping us caged up. We could honestly leave at any point, but he's so kind and makes sure we have what we need. So we all chose to stay. "

Laughing at the Shellder's reaction to hot food she playfully bumped in to her new friend. " Oh gosh it's so good. The idea of it was weird to me as well, but if you don't like it I'm sure he will find something for you that you will like. Sticking her tong out and giving a wink Azula looked up at the sun giving a slight sneeze. "Oh gosh excuse me. Hey why don't we play a few more rounds and then you can come try the food. Oh and take your time in thinking about everything. It's your turn by the way. Saying as she waited for the shellder to climb the rock before shooting bubbles at her new friend.

Shellder wasn’t so sure it understood Azula’s logic, but it nodded its head anyways. “Is it because only Kings can rule the castle?” Shellder asked curiously. Why couldn’t a Queen rule by herself, though? Why was it so important to be the King of the castle? Or was everything a King of the castle, regardless of what you might have originally thought they should have been? It all seemed a bit confusing to try to mentally sort out and seemed like it was better if the Shellder simply played along instead. “So I’ll be a King no matter what. Right? If I keep the castle all to myself!” It laughed with a playful wink in Azula’s direction.

“Of course, I want to play a few rounds with you!” Shellder admitted and focused on creating small shards of ice that formed along its thick shell. The large purple bivalve mollusk would shake its entire body after it had managed to grow a decent chunk of ice along its shell and send them spraying in all directions at Azula, who would manage to dodge the worst of them. Though one shard whose edges were mostly dull would fling into Azula’s side and bounce off to fall into the rocky waters underneath them. “Oh look, I’ve tagged you again!” The Shellder giggled cheerfully and smiled brightly as Azula swam all around it. “If it takes so long to get there, then why do humans do it? Travel all over like that, that is? I couldn’t try to imagine doing all that in so much time!” Shellder admitted with wide, curious eyes.

“Oh…I guess I’ll never see the world.” The small bivalve glanced sadly at the ground and hummed. It wasn’t so sure it wanted to leave the only home it had ever known, though. Were there other friends like Azula? Were there scarier things out there that might try to gobble it up in an instance?! The time the Wingull had tried to ferry it far away high above the world scared the living daylights out of the small mollusk. It was so sure that it would never see its family again, though it had thankfully managed to escape the scary bird’s clutches. “That sounds so harsh, though. How did you survive in all that heat and sand with no water?” Shellder asked curiously.

Azula’s bursts of water popped Shellder in the face, causing the small bivalve to immediately slam its shell shut. It waited for the bubbles to disappear before prying itself open with a loud, raucous laugh. “That was a really good tag! Hmm…I gotta really try to get you this next time, don’t I?” The purple water type laughed and hopped off its ‘castle’ to chase after Azula in the water. “It sounds like your trainer is the ideal trainer to have. You know…if you have to have a trainer. I never wanted to be captured before.” Shellder admitted honestly with a loud hum. “I’m not so sure I do now, either. I like my life here, you know? But if I were going to be captured anyways…hmm…I might be ok if it were your trainer that attempted it.” Shellder admitted honestly. “And that’s ok. I can find my own food. It tastes better that way, anyways.” It giggled.

Azula laughed a little at the Shellder's question thinking to her self she probably just confused the poor shell type. "Oh no it's probably because all my siblings were boys and I had to play by their rules. You can be either queen or king. I'm ok with it. Azula Jumped up in the air as she spun graceful in the air sticking her tung out. "Oh I'm about to take my castle back. Hope you enjoyed your short rule. She said as she hit the water diving down toward the bottom.

Felling the shard of ice strike her body once more Azula shivered a little hearing her friend say they tagged her again. "Oh that was a nice shoot. Looks like I'll have to tag you back. Relaxing some as she looked back toward her trainer Azula shrugged a little. "I think it's because they have a drive for journey and excitement would be my guess. Admitting as that was the only real reason she could muster.

"Oh but you would be missing out. There is so many sights to see and discover and the world is scary and amazing at the same time. Azula clarified pulling her self out of the water taking a seat beside the shell type. "My trainer at the time keep us in the capture devises only letting us out to battle in that harsh terrain. I don't think I could have own my on but that was the hardest of my journeys so far." Azula hated in thinking of that climate and very grateful she was thousand of miles away from it.

Azula looked at her a little puzzled and shocked. Never thinking it possible for a wild Pokemon in being ok with a human making an attempt on it's freedom. She did understand being afraid to be captured though. In her experience no pokemon would want to be captured under any circumstance and it was something they all feared at one point in their life. That's when it hit her. "Hey if you want we could make a game of it. We would do a play battle in front of my trainer and let him think it's real. If you change your mind in not wanting to be caught I would help you get away." Thinking deeply as she jumped off the rock back in the water spinning around toward her friend. "This way it won't be as scary for you. Oh and tag your it. " Saying as Aula let out a stream of bubbles.

Shellder laughed as Azula jumped up and spun around in the air. Thick blots of water splattered off her body and against the bivalve mollusk and various rocks that surrounded the area. It thought that its newfound friend was so graceful as it spun around, before diving down underneath the water’s reach once more to the bottom. Shellder clapped its two shells together and huffed long breaths of air to kick itself around and chased after its opponent through the water with a loud laugh. “That must have been tough?” It questioned, referring to the fact that Azula grew up with only brothers and her being the only girl. “But I won’t let you claim the castle too easily!” It winked, trying to butt its way in front of Azula onto the rocky ‘castle’ top.

Azula’s bubbles spat out of her mouth and floated up into the air. Shellder hopped about and jumped out of the way of the slowest ones, though quite a few managed to pop against its shell and coat the small bivalve with a thin layer of water that compiled on the watery liquids that was already dripping off its shell. “Oh, you got me!” Shellder giggled. It was a lot of fun playing around with Azula that Shellder hoped they could continue playing together all the time. “Discover a scary world? That doesn’t sound as promising anymore…” It thought heavily, its mind wavering on the idea. “But if I have tons of friends – like you – maybe it isn’t all bad? Huh?” It wondered.

“I’ll make it the toughest match you’ve ever seen, then!” Shellder agreed. If Azula’s trainer needed to see a real match to judge whether Shellder would be a good fit on his team, then Shellder would make sure it was the strongest warrior it knew. This time, it put on a super serious face and growled at Azula as it closed its shell down tight and hopped about to try and push Azula off the rock to reclaim the castle for itself. A bright light enveloped its shell as Shellder withdrew inside of itself and hid for the moment. “You’ll find it hard to win a battle against me, though!” Shellder warned from inside of its shell.
