Encountered here

It was both the perfect timing of the rescue team, but also the worst. Couldn't they have waited a couple of hours so that Lei could have gotten Leafshade the little bit of extra training he needed to evolve? That was all she asked for, that and then of course a chance to catch everything on this island before she went home to that well needed bath.
Now that they rescuers was here and she knew she was going home, she'd rather spent a bit more time making sure she got everything she could from the islands. Knowing she wasn't going to spent another cold night in a tent on the beach, she was fine staying here for a bit longer and maximizing her profit from her unplanned prolonged stay at the islands. She was not ready to stay here to train though, if it meant they were going to leave without her, so she wouldn't dare more than this one search, which hopefully would bring what she needed.

Lei's eyes widened when she spotted the pyukumuku, the familiar pokemon she thought only lived in her home region. She debated with herself for a moment, did she want a pokemon so useless as that? The thought of catching it and saving a bit of money made up her mind though, if it could teach Leafshade anything only time would tell, she only had this one chance.
The swadloon materialized on the beach in front of her, while Asynje and Komet watched from the sideline. Lei gave no order though, but would try fling a Quick Ball at the black cucumber before it hid behind a rock. If she wasn't fast enough, she'd quickly try give herself a second chance. "Leafshade, pull it out of there!" She snapped and the swadloon would try either flip the rock, or pull the pyukumuku out from under the rock with some sticky thread.

First the humans came along and trespassed upon their islands, and now they invited more of their kind to come with their birds of prey. The local Pokemon might be forgiven for being a bit paranoid about the sudden surge of new humans, fearing that they may be destined to be pushed out of their homes by the humans and their trained Pokemon. Maybe that was what had motivated Pyukumuku to try and fail to shower the invaders with spat out sand and stone. Its warning to Leafshade went ignored, however, as it felt itself being pulled closer to Lei by a strangely strong and sticky shot of string from the bug's body.

Unable to hide or run now, the ball sailed through the air and struck the sea cucumber on what one could assume was its head. The ball consumed it and fell to the ground, shaking and struggling violently. After a moment of pause, in which it seemed to have worked, the ball suddenly burst open and shattered, an irate Pyukumuku emerging. "The nerve! You come here stomping on our homes and throwing balls at us like you own the place! You humans really are no good!"

The Pyukumuku squirmed its little body closer to Leafshade and Lei, a look of ire on its face after being released from the ball. Its mouth opened, some of its innards and strange insides coming out. It waved the innards at them, like a teacher scolding their students with a wagging finger, as it continued. "Come on and fight me if you aren't scared. Don't hide behind your little rocks and balls!" it taunted from where it lay among the rocks and sand of the Palm Beach.

A smile spread on Lei's face as everything worked out as planned. Leafshade pulled the pyukumuku out from its hiding spot and she of course hit it straight on with the ball. It would be captured in no time, Leafshade would evolve and she would be back at the camp not long after the rescue team had arrived and she would be back home before she knew it. Or rathar, not home-home, she wouldn't want to go all the way back to Alola now, she still hadn't forgiven her parents what they did, but back at the mainland. Back to the civilization.

Her eye twitched when the pyukumuku did not follow her plan.
"Leafshade! Bug Bite!" She ordered through clenched teeth and pulled another pokeball from her pocket with an angry motion.

"I'm not hiding! I just pulled you out from under a rock, so who's hiding here?" Leafshade protested indignant. He shook slowly from side to side to make his leaf-dress move in the wind, "if anything I want to show off my creations!"
Komet looked blankly at the strange, round pokemon, "isn't it battling when he pulled you out from under the stone?" She asked casually and then nodded as if someone had given her the answer, "of course, its only a battle when moves which hurts are used. That makes sense."
"I'll teach you some manners! You should really learn how to behave and be civilized!" Leafshade snapped as he crawled forward, ready to bite the annoying pokemon with the tongue twisting name.

(ooc: Leafshade uses Bug Bite, then throwing a Nest Ball. I'd like to use my multiplier on Leafshade. Also noting Lapis is not on this team and will not get anything from the exp. share)

Pyukumuku got it's wish as Leafshade closed the distance and engaged the strange looking water type with a powerful Bug Bite causing quite a bit of damage. Even though Pyukumuku were known for their endurance the level gap really worked against it. If there was any good news from the battle it was that it could still battle and Pyukumuku knew it had to make it's defenses even stronger." I will show you civilized you brute, you came to my home picking a fight with me. Let's see you get though my thick scales a second time." Pyukumuku muttered as it started to harden it's scales to an impressive degree. Though it thought doing so would help it did not consider what Lei was going to do next.

By staying put the water type had made itself a target yet again for another capture attempt. This time Pyukumuku was not in the best of shape and the Net Ball Lei tossed was very good against water types such as Pyukumuku. By the time the aquatic Pokemon realized it's mistake it was too late as the net covered ball slammed into it's forehead trapping it inside. Pyukumuku started to pound the ball from the inside desperatly trying to break free but it was too weak to even make the ball budge. After three quick shakes the Net Ball clicked shut trapping Pyukumuku inside ending the battle.

Leafshade gains 1 level and 2 happiness and now is level 21 with +10 happiness. He can evolve into Leavanny, would you like him to evolve or would you like to stop.the evolution?

OOC:Tarlar your mod bar was empty after using it in Astrid's thread unless you previously updated it between the previous post. If you did let me know and I can give Leafshade a level for this battle but otherwise he will not be able to gain a level from this fight.




Edit: Tarlar chose to.use the mod exp in this thread instead so applying Leafshade's level gain instead of Janus getting extra exp.

There was no dangers in battling pyukumuku, Lei knew it from her home region and that it could only prolong a battle, not finish it. Of course it often "won" by people or pokemon giving up and leaving it on its own, and that of course was also a risk here for Lei as she didn't have unlimited time. Pyukumuku certainly wasn't worth being left behind on the island for, no pokemon she could think of at the moment was worth that much.
She readied a nest ball and waited calmly.

"There is nothing you can show me, that's worth my time," Leafshade scoffed, "This blasted snow has covered all leaves and you certainly don't have anything to offer me. Just stay still long enough for my trainer to catch you and we can get going."
The pyukumuku started to harden but it would make no difference when it came to the capture, Leafshade didn't comment on it and just watched as the ball hit its target and such the water type inside.

It was hard to see the shakes in the snow but the sound when it succeeded was loud and clear. Lei turned to stare intently at Leafshade, had she been right or had that pathetic black thing not been enough for the swadloon to learn from?
"Get me the pokeball Asynje," she ordered while Leafshade looked unfaced by it all. A smile spread on her face when he began to shine brightly and his evolution finished as Asynje returned and handed her the pokeball with the newly captured pyukumuku.
"perfect!" She said and recalled all three pokemon before she ran back towards camp to make sure she got rescued from the island.
