The Petilil had her back turned toward Zaiden and the Croagunk. Without realizing what happened, she was suddenly sucked into a capture device without much of a protest. The sphere barely wobbled, either by itself or the wind, before resounding a DING of success. Now that the Petilil was gone inside the device, the curious Croagunk could capture curiously cool crushed rocks laying on the ground. When Zaiden was done coughing up his storm, he could also organize his travel bag that he spilled. The Garden had returned to peace for now. The young trainer could try to lure out other wild Pokemon for a fun battle, or maybe venture into the estate and meet the owner, or owners, and have a chat, or follow up on what the invitation was about. The option was free and open for the young teen, unless he would be the one commanded by his Pokemon's treasure hunting.

Zaiden pushed himself up into a seated position and coughed on the spores that clogged his throat. They burned through his chest and made him feel as though his world was slowly fading. The medicinal liquids that he drank rushed through him, splashing down his throat with a cooling touch that seemed to hit his chest and spread out throughout his arms and legs to cover his entire body. Soon, the worst of the paralyzing spores would subside and allow the young lad to continue along his path inside once more through the unkept estate where the wild Pokemon seemed to be more in charge than some rich tycoon hidden off somewhere inside of their mansion.
Yadoku walked alongside his trainer cradling the new rocks he’d collected in Petilil’s absence. The smooth red one was tucked away to remain hidden on his side, while he clutched a rough granite chip in one hand and an oddly shaped limestone fragment in another. They were all his precious collectables and would come with him wherever he traveled, giving Yadoku a strange sense of satisfaction at just holding them in his hands. Wide, transfixed eyes washed over the tall grasses and paved pathways in search of more small marbles and stony debris that he could collect and horde quietly amongst himself.
Zaiden half smiled at his silly frog as he watched him hop about through the tall grasses. “What am I going to do with you?” He questioned softly in a hushed whisper underneath his breath. He’d been invited to the estate and was promised that it would be welcoming…or at least thought that he’d been invited through such means. Now even Zaiden was questioning that logic, however, as he continued further inside of the strange garden estate. He had to be careful while venturing around the flowering estate, in case more Pokemon lurked inside of the tall grasses whose appearance seemed as though they could use a quick trim. Or inside of the nearby trees whose branches seemed to stretch on forever.

It was quite warm out because it's a transition between summer and spring, and Pokemon in the wild were also behaving as a reaction like mix of summer of spring. A lone Meowth was resting on a stone chair sitting in the garden, that was warmed by the morning sun, the heat emanated from the rock chair became its favorite spot to nap on. The stone's warmth gradually transferred into the cat's body, while even on a half cloudy day, the stone still have enough heat for this cat to complete the nap. As Zaiden was walking along the tall grass, he would stumbled upon a small clearing for the stone table and chairs, and the napping Meowth. The normal type may or may not have heard them coming, as it spotted them in a blink of an eye's opening and closing. Unless they were doing something that would upset its peace, the feline would continue napping on this warm spot.

Zaiden traveled quietly along his path throughout the beautiful garden and marveled at the flowers that were emerging from their buds to blossom underneath the sun’s warm rays. They were a gorgeous sight even with the state of affairs that the garden seemed to be left within. The wild Pokemon (or tamed?) that buzzed through the air and walked throughout the garden were a dazzling sight and managed to steal the boy’s attention. When he stumbled into a small clearing where stone tables and chairs were propped up to create a resting spot where people might gather over a nice cup of tea, Zaiden paused to study them carefully.
A lone feline curled up on one of the seats and snoozed away. Not wanting to disturb the wild creature, the young teen would simply turn away from the Meowth to travel down a different path within the garden. Perhaps he could find the mysterious person who owned the entire estate and better understand the place and why he might have been invited to this place? Or maybe he would simply learn that the person who recommended the place to him was just full of it in their own right? But as he began to walk away, a bright burst of red light shot out of his pocket and formed the familiar shape of his two handed Pokemon.
Fuji and Tsubo stood tall and proud in the grassy landscape, twitching both of their heads to observe the place. It was strange though the stony table and chairs reminded them of oddly shaped rocks along the cliff-sides of their old home. “Hey brother, look over there! I bet that Meowth is dreaming of the day they run into their mate!” Fuji chimed with a large smile. His eyes began to gloss over as he dreamt of what his mate might one day be like. Tsubo huffed and swung his hand-shaped head wildly with enough force to possibly accidentally hit the cat (hopefully) as he scoffed at his brother. “You’re stuck with me, brother. You know this! Let’s train so we can buff up, ok?!” He asked hopefully, basically demanding his brother spar with him instead.

"I can hear you!" The Meowth growled as it lazily and gradually stood up from its stone chair. It leaped down from where it was resting to approach the strange looking Pokemon. "If you have something to say to me, why don't you say it to me? Or are you scared?" It taunted the two brothers. The rock type wasn't having any of this, and hopped forward and then lunged his long arms toward the Meowth. The normal type tried to dodge here and there, but it was no match for the two arms. Soon, it felt it was clawed and scratched by those two weird looking heads on the arms. "Eww... you are weird. I would much rather not see you again!" It wasn't fond of the foe's appearance or how he moved, as the Meowth made an expression like it wanted to cough up something.

Fuji blinked and lowered himself a bit embarrassed as the fury feline responded back. He didn’t think about his words before blurting them off the tip of his tongue. Even so, he hadn’t considered the cat for himself. Fuji just figured - like all animals – the Meowth would eventually eventually go off in search of a mate for itself. “My apologies mister…or miss? Meowth. I just thought…you know…with spring in the air and all…” Fuji was flustered. His face-shaped hand turned beet red as he tried to figure out just the right words to say, though they weren’t coming out quite right at all.
Tsubo rolled his eyes and huffed in a gruff voice underneath his breath. This was what he had to put up with all the time. They should be out training and beefing themselves up, not worried about playing romantic matchmaker! This was so boring and even the cat seemed less interesting in comparison. “My brother’s hopeless, cat.” Tsubo snapped, shaking his hand-shaped head so hard he was basically shaking his entire body. “We’re not scared of nothing!” Tsubo puffed up at Meowth’s retort before lashing out angrily.
When Meowth admitted that it didn’t want to see them again, Fuji was hurt. Tsubo agreed with the cat, however. “Good!” Tsubo snapped, swinging himself at Meowth once more with razor sharp claws that he meant to use to try and scratch the wild feline along its sides and limbs. “I’d be just as happy if I never saw you again, either!” Tsubo added angrily. Fuji tugged on Tsubo’s lower half, though, shaking its head profusely. “Tsubo…brother! I think we upset this cat…I’m not weird, am I? I can’t be! I need to be attractive for my future mate!” Fuji wailed at the top of his lungs, biting his lower lip anxiously.
OOC: Fuji Tsubo uses Fury Swipes. Also I'm down with meeting the owners later in the thread, too, lol. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/3igfqd2fyYPOCoVcYQu6.png) It's pretty much an adventure and possibly hunt mons I don't currently own anyways.

"What? Spring? No..." The Meowth growled, feeling a little offended. "Just because you're single? packaged? and lonely, it doesn't mean I am." The normal type continued, although unsure whether this Pokemon it was facing was considered singular or plural, or a plural noun but counted as singular. "I was first dreaming of a warm fire when it would be snowing outside, then I Was dreaming of the hot summer sun basking down."Maybe its taunt had worked, as one of the two talking faces was enraged, and began flailing to try to scratch the feline again. The Meowth was forced to moved quickly around the opponent, making weird acrobatics and positions to attempt to dodge the foe's sharp claws. Unfortunately, it got scratched a few times as much as the Meowth also had struck back with its own paws. "I think the only thing you're scared of, is being alone." He purred, and meant in a way for this strange Pokemon that didn't have a mate yet. Wild Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Meowth LV 21 HP 11% [6/54]

Fuji’s face dropped as he listened to Meowth’s words and saw that the wild cat seemed to be taken aback by while the Binacle had to say. Weren’t all Pokemon looking for mates of their own, so that they could start their own nests and eventually raise little ones to carry on their lineage? Even if his brother seemed oblivious to the plight that pained him in the pit of his heart. Tsubo made everything in Fuji’s life difficult and would often chase off would-be mates even when Fuji tried his best to woo someone into settling down with him. Why, though? “I am single. That is true. But one day, I hope that I find the one of my dreams so we can have a family of our own!” Fuji stated all starry-eyed and full of aspirations.
Tsubo grimaced as though something awful was sticking to his tongue. He shook his head vigorously and spat on the ground beside their rock. “Fat chance any girl’s gunna want you!” Jealousy reeked throughout his words as he mocked his brother. He couldn’t have Fuji running off to start his own family! Then what would he do, all alone on his rock without a soul to care about him?! Tsubo would always be there to foil the best laid plans his brother might have of moving on without him. “‘Sides, you need to beef up and work out with me, bro! Get stronger, first! Then all the ladies will flock to you, I’m sure.”
Fuji sighed, forlorn. “A warm fire and melting snow? I prefer gently rolling tides near a large cliffside hanging over the ocean’s side.” He smiled, trying to ignore his brother. Why did he need to get buffed out like some cartoon character on steroids, anyways? It didn’t make any sense! Tsubo, now jealous of the mangy feline, turned on Meowth angrily and lashed out with his sharp claws. “That’s enough of your nonsense, cat! Scram, before I get really ugly, ya hear?!” The Binacle snapped, as he aimed to try and scratch Meowth on its underbelly. “I ain’t scared of nothing. Nothing! Ya hear me?!” Tsubo puffed up his cheeks and bellowed.

The cat listened as the brothers chatted, and then chimed in when it was able to. "That's a very nice dream you have. Good luck with that." It meant that genuinely, and then now it wasn't. "Now, how do you plan to have a family with your brother around? He seemed to be sticking with you, very closely." It meowed jokingly. "Well, I ain't scared of you either," The Meowth growled at the other brother, and then the two began fighting again. The water type looked like he flailed around again, but it was able to scratch the Meowth badly. The normal type was at the end of its stamina, and before leaving, it fired back. "Sure, sure, tell yourself that you're not afraid of anything!" The poor Meowth cried, gave the Binacle a nasty look, and then leaped away from them to rest up somewhere in private.

Fuji’s eyes lit up with admiration and hope as a bright smile curved across his face and warmed the dirt brown and bright orange hues of his cheeks. He studied the creamy off-white feline carefully with the beady black coals that floated around the rich white hues of his eyes. Meowth seemed honest and genuine in its words. Though Fuji wanted to believe the worst of this opponent, nothing in the furry feline’s demeanor nor its words seemed to indicate malicious intent. His eyes narrowed for a split second, causing fine wrinkles to mar the corners of his eyelids, then softened to their normal gaze, relaxing the wrinkles back off his face. “Thank you very much, Meowth!” Fuji nodded, pressing his upper torso down into a slight bow. He was just as genuine and was relieved to finally have someone who understood what he felt.
Meowth’s question was a conundrum. Fuji knew that their time together would eventually come to an end. Though Tsubo hatched from the same egg that Fuji hatched from, they weren’t going to stick together for the entirety of their lives. It was never part of Fuji’s grandeur plans. Tsubo narrowed his eyes firmly on the shiny large coin stuck to the center of the furry feline’s head and hissed defensively. “Don’t you go putting ideas into my brother’s head!” The Binacle cursed underneath his breath, lashing out at the feline angrily. “I’m responsible for making sure my brother doesn’t get hurt. He can’t be mate ready until he works out and beefs up with me first!” He snapped firmly. Fuji sighed sadly, frowning, and shook his head. “He’s right, Tsubo…we can’t stay like this forever…”
As Meowth slipped away, the two Binacle turned to each other to express emotions that they hadn’t quite expressed before. Tsubo reluctantly shook his head and stomped his half of the rock down on the grassy ground. He wouldn’t lose his brother so easily! Fuji pressed against Tsubo’s side and stared up at his brother with large, warm eyes as he tried to hug the other Binacle. Zaiden would bring it to an end, though, as he pulled out a small ball and recalled them with the press of a button. The cat was gone, and their path remained wide open, which would carry on through the overgrown garden and wind around different walking trails that might have made the place truly magnificent back in its pristine days. He smiled softly to himself and began walking slowly through the open terrain, keeping his rich brown eyes wide open and alert to the slightest movements around him.
“This place is…beautiful.” The words felt odd to say aloud, though they also felt right. Like admitting the beauty of the wilderness that was slowly reclaiming the once perfectly manmade environment, when most would have seen the overgrown shrubs and feral vines climbing up the sides of every tree and inside of every bush to be an eyesore. Still, there was something almost alien in the way that nature preserved itself beyond man’s touch and carried on with its own deeply set desire to continue to live. The old metallic tables fixed with metallic chairs set around them begged for Zaiden to stay a spell over a pitcher of tea. He wondered if anyone still lived within the large estate or if it had been largely abandoned to the wayside over the years Zaiden presumed the original owner had ignored it. “Who owns all of this?” The young teenager muttered softly underneath his voice as he pressed further into the estate.
OOC: Another encounter? Or visit from owner(s)? Forgetting Fury Swipes for Ancient Power, self-updating.

As the younger man admired the garden's unobstructed state, save for the decorations and garden path put by the owners, a rather matured, experienced Persian meowed at him to gather his attention, then, it dashed away toward the estate's house. Before Zaiden could catch up to it, the Persian meowed loudly at one of the estate's window.
Alex looked up from his window, as he was busy studying for one of his exams. He saw his roommate's Persian and the human following after, and he was reminded of this kid's meeting. He got out up from his chair, and made way outside his home, just in time to see the kid by the front door.
"Oh hey, I am sorry I am late! I didn't realize it's time. I am Alex, one of the owner of this private property. And you must be Zaiden," He greeted, trying to not be awkward about this. He looked just like another kid, and he was withholding comments inside his head for now. "You said, you like... nature?"
OOC: nobody heard all of zaiden's lil comments. just realized your char profile links to tvtrope and have nature lover lol. maybe we can use that.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Zasso NOT in active party in thread! ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: N/A | Time: Day
The young teenager studied the wilderness of the once tamed flora around him with considerable interest. Usually these places were full of life. People gathered around in the metallic chairs, causing the recognizable scraping sounds as the legs of the chairs drug across the concrete paved pathways while the individual in the chair scooted up closer to their tables. Chatter would echo from different voices, carrying on conversations and stories that Zaiden neither had interest in nor felt comfortable interjecting himself inside of. Here, with the lack of human presence and the abundance of nature living in its most natural and free state, Zaiden felt peace and calmness inside of his chest.
The wild bugs that buzzed about in the garden made him nervous only from the idea that he may be forced into another battle. Kogasu’s temper still dug underneath his skin, where she rushed off from him after their battle against Falkner and demanded to have a stronger trainer carrying her. Was he unfit in his current state? Did he need to fundamentally change who he was? Another thought intruded beyond the layers of self-doubt and anxiety. How did wild Pokemon manage on their own, without a guiding human hand, to grow stronger and evolve if that was the case? Perhaps it was Kogasu’s own nature, since most starters were bred and raised inside of laboratories and through their passively domesticated natures they craved the attention and care of humans for their every needs?
A wild cat looking considerably stronger and bolder than the other questionably wild Pokemon inside of the estate’s unkept garden jumped out in front of him and meowed loudly, causing Zaiden to pause and breathe softly underneath his voice. Reflexively, he reached for a ball unsure of who could handle such a powerful Persian and nearly positive this was a battle he would lose. But when it was obvious that this sleek feline wasn’t challenging him to a battle, he relaxed and followed it down the long winding pathways towards the entrance. He shielded one hand over his eyes and stared up towards a window above where it seemed the Persian was meowing loudly, wondering who or what it was calling out to. “Are you ok, girl?” The words came softly, though a little unsure, until Zaiden caught a flash of movement through the window panes above.
Sure enough, another trainer would pop out of the door to greet Zaiden. The young teenager clad in his soft white tee with two large legendaries battling each other at the top of a cliffside with waves crashing against it in the backdrop stared silently for a second and shuffled nervously with one foot. He shoved two rough hands who skin sparkled with warm golden hues like that of freshly rolled hay into the pockets of his denim jeans and shifted his eyes nervously to the ground underfoot. “Oh uh…hi… I’m…Zaiden…” He slowly managed to struggle. Why was that so hard to say, anyways? It shouldn’t be. But conversations usually led to simple pastimes and pleasant commentaries that Zaiden never had a natural knack for. “It’s…nice…” He nodded, gesturing towards the whole estate, or at least as much of it as Zaiden had seen.
The question, however, was an easy way for Alex to worm his way into Zaiden’s heart. Rich brown eyes like milk chocolate hues sparkled and glistened as he slowly lifted them up to meet Alex’s own black eyes as a large yet still skittish smile warmed across his face excitedly. “Oh…yeah! It’s just. I love seeing how nature prevails in spite of everything. Every Pokemon is so uniquely adapted to its habitat, you know? Or how weeping willows, trees that are typically found in moist soils near bodies of water, have thick, scaly barks adapted specifically to help protect it from the environment and wild creatures.” It also brought back memories of Zaiden spending time in the great outdoors with his father, which he missed terribly so. Another intrusive thought popped up as soon as Zaiden stopped rambling, though. Was he talking too much for Alex’s liking?
OOC: You got him talking. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/j4x3M6WbsBpReeVALlIv.png) Good job!

The Persian knew she was alright, and waited by the door while the humans would finish talking. For a second, Alex was worried that he let the wrong person into the estate, but at least this person was one he was expecting. However, the kid's shyness and awkwardness might take him a little longer to use to. Maybe because he was a little older and had more experience, so Alex would be giving this kid some generosity about this whole shy and quiet thing.
He listened attentively as he was thinking how to approach talking to the kid, and it would also be a good practice for him. He smiled when he was ready to reply. "Those are cool examples. Let's go talk inside and have a seat? I don't think both of us want to be standing when we're both trainers and do it on the regular basis." He opened the building's door and entered into a living room space.
The living room was simple with a couch, coffee table, and a television. Alex went toward the kitchen to grab some snacks and drinks for Zaiden and his liking before sitting back down in the living room. He also got them both some sliced fruits for easy talking and chewing.
"The wild Pokemon living in the gardens like to have some fun, I hope they didn't give you too much trouble." He smiled, but also trying to ease Zaiden. Well, and also trying to remember why he invited the guest. He knew he had a guest today, but he forgot again in his busyness.
OOC: keeping the description vague until I make it official in my estate, I haven't finish it through lol. are we doing something about pokemon? nature? quietness? anxiety?

Zaiden immediately worried if he had spoken too much. Was he rambling on about the difference in nature and how the trees around them used their environment to their advantage? Even Pokemon did that, of course. Most people were used to the Pokemon and how they survived in their environments – not necessarily how the trees and grasses adapted to their environments. “Ok…thanks.” The young teenager’s voice spoke shyly as he walked inside and followed Alex into his living room. He’d walked over to the couch and nervously sit down on the couch, carefully staring around at the walls and other furniture inside of the building.
When Alex wandered off into the Kitchen, a notice popped up on his phone. What was going on now? A text from his mother popped up as a notification. He opened it and gulped as he read what she had wrote.
Hey sweetie! I wanted to check up on you and see how you’re doing? I heard that you’ve already received your first badge. We’re so proud! We’re having some trouble with the shop, but don’t worry about us, ok? Your father’s plenty capable of handling things on his own.
Really? They’re able to handle this on their own? The same way his father handled selling off all his beloved Pokemon? The same way his father sold off their beloved Charizard to try to keep the roof over their heads a bit longer? That shop was everything! It was their bread and butter! What would his parents do if they lost it completely, with no way of getting it back? It wasn’t like his father had jobs lined up to protect himself or his mother! Why did they always treat him like some…child?! Some dumb, idiotic, child?! Who knew nothing and was completely useless in helping them?! Ugh!
Alex returned with some fruits and snacks, which Zaiden bowed politely with a smile. “Thanks…” He picked up a peace of watermelon and munched on it thoughtfully as he tried to calm his racing mind. What was the trouble they were having? Did they lose everything now? Were they on the streets, while Zaiden spent his time cheerfully galivanting around Johto without a care in the world?! Was he just some useless kid who knew nothing at all? Just like he was when Charizard was sold without his knowledge?! “There was a pretty tough Heracross that challenged us when we first came..” Zaiden admitted, mind wandering with troublesome thoughts. “But they didn’t cause us too much trouble…” He nodded.
All in all, it was a nice estate overall. A bit underkept in some places, maybe, but that added to the charm.
OOC: Lol, sure. Can chat about anything while you want. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/2475952/images/j4x3M6WbsBpReeVALlIv.png) Zaiden's just a tough nut to crack sometimes.

Alex found this young teen fascinating, just tad more shy than he had thought. However, he was raised a polite gentleman. He wasn't a chatter, not even something of his own interest? He'll try to make Zaiden more comfortable, but there was only so much he could do. "Oh, the Pokemon by the gate? Those Pokemon liked a visitor to give them a challenge. I wouldn't recommend anyone to catch them though, as they sorta work together to whack off wild Pokeballs." He smiled and spoke energetically. "Now they'll be satisfied for a while with new story to tell of new Pokemon fought."
"You seem nervous. Do you have a relaxing method or meditation technique? Something like that?" He spoke, chewing on a piece of cool watermelon. He wasn't sure if there was anything he could do. His eyes moved to a pair of speakers his roommate might use. Maybe he could play music. Then, his gaze moved to some couch pillows and blankets. Maybe he could adjust the indoor temperature? "Do you feel too cold or too hot?" He blurted, thinking that might be one way. He pondered maybe they could send out their Pokemon later in the outdoor to meet and greet, and then elaborate from there. People like to talk about their Pokemon, right?
