Asynje lit up when someone actually answered her call this time. Perhaps she could get a nice and learning battle where she had time to focus on all the things she could do better, instead of some angry or scared opponent who kept shouting mean things at her and making her feel guilty. She had found it rather hard to focus then, as whatever the other pokemon said kept interfering with her thoughts.
Her mood dropped a bit when she heard what it said, sounded like it too was angry at her for some reason and wanted her gone. What was it with all these wild pokemon and their territorial claims? It was not like they were doing any harm being around.
"Thank you, I guess?" she said hesitantly, "will it make it a better place if we become stronger?" She tried kindly in the hope that the duck would elaborate a bit.

Lei was not thrilled to see what had appeared. "Stupid weak pokemon, why can't something decent appear so that I can train Leafshade?" she complained to herself. It would make the perfect ending to her visit to the islands, surely they would be found soon and wouldn't have to go through the whole cold winter before that could happen? It was months since they had disappeared, the rescue party had to be just around the corner.
She looked closely at her two bugs who were standing around, "perhaps they are too weak and the stronger ones are staying away since they are not match?" She thought out aloud and Asynje ducked her head a bit when she heard it.
"Komet, Vice Grip, hold it tight!" Lei called her order and the pinsir trambled through the snow, bowed forward and opened her pincers wide, ready to grasp the duck and lift it high into the air and hold it still as she had been ordered.

Lei found a pokeball and waited for her pinsir to do her job, then she would throw it at the duck and hope it would end the battle sooner so that they could get going. She really wanted to see Leafshade evolve before they left, who knew when she'd get the chance otherwise, to have time to just train without any other obligations. It wasn't like she had plans on using the swadloon much after this, she had so many other pokemon who needed her attention.

Wordcount: 403
(ooc: Komet uses Vice Grip, then throwing a pokeball)

The Psyduck tilted its head at the challenge being thrown before it. With Asynje thanking it, it nodded its head in appreciation at the bug's words. "It is nice to be appreciated, even if it is by an intruder. I'll try to not rough you or your buddies up too much." The bug seemed nice, the Psyduck didn't really want to fight it. The humans and other such intruders that came trampling through their home, though, were a different story. Especially when this Trainer, Lei, began throwing around words like weak. It was almost like Psyduck and its kin were just getting in the way for her.

Oh well, it would be sure to show this human a thing or two! Then she would really appreciate what Psyduck was doing as part of the greater good for this biome. It just had to think of a way to show its strength to the girl and her Pokemon, the Psyduck suddenly lost in thought and lagging behind even as Lei chose the Pokemon that would be doing battle for her today. Komet stepped out and launched herself at the duck. It wasn't until Komet was looming over the lost-in-thought duck that Psyduck finally squawked out, "Oh crap, were we starting?"

Komet slammed its horns around the Psyduck's rotund body, binding it in place and squeezing down on it, causing the wild duck to let out a squawk of pain as its entire body was restrained. Psyduck could do little more than begin scratching and flailing wildly at the bug that was holding it in place. The scratches could hardly pierce Komet's tough exterior, however, as the bug followed her orders to the letter. The Psyduck was bound in place, unable to move even as the Poke Ball collided with its head and sucked it inside with a swirl of red light. The ball fell to the ground beside Komet, shaking to and fro wildly.

A moment passed, a pregnant pause that would have summoned up a bit of doubt in even the most arrogant and confident of Trainers. And then a click as the ball's wiggling ceased.

The capture was a success, and Lei could claim for herself her brand new Psyduck, now able to continue on with her trip through these islands in search of something to train Leafshade against.

For her part in capturing the Psyduck, Komet has grown +2 levels! Komet is now Level 14!
Komet grew a little closer to Lei. +1 Happiness! (+2)


Lapis Lazuli got to watch through the EXP Share and gained +1 level! Lapis Lazuli is now Level 12!
Frosmoth is trying to learn Mist. Would you like to delete a move to make room for Mist?
