Moyashi was annoyed that the small plant didn’t want to join her in learning the ways of being a masterful hunter. Many plants had a hard time understanding the extra protein sources that bugs provided them. Sunlight and water was all they needed. They used photosynthesis for everything else, which helped them grow big and strong and also helped them to repair minor wounds that might afflict them during daily living. But Petilil? A sentient Grass Type like herself? Moyashi had a difficult time swallowing that idea down and grimaced as the small Pokemon immediately darted off through the surrounding bushes in the garden.
“You know, not everyone is going to see being captured as a good thing.” Hiyokyu stated, hopping up onto her sharp talons and turning to trek her way through the garden once more. Zaiden recalled her in the blink of an eye, though, and darted back inside, excusing himself to use an available PC to switch his team around once more. There were a few others who could benefit from the extra time let out of their balls to explore the surrounding areas, He unleashed the large Skiploom, whose eyes sparkled in delight at the surrounding plants. A soft sigh escaped Zassō’s lips. “Now, this is more like it!” Memories of their time trapped in the cave sometime in the past caused him to shudder. Maybe the warm sun’s rays would help relax him while he floated on the gentle breeze delightfully.
Moyashi chased after little Surskit, sending several vines after her opponent. A tasty little bug all to herself! “Quit it! Stop! That’s mean! You’re rude!” The tiny spider-like bug cried, skittering through the tall grasses and hopping inside of a thick, prickly bush. Moyashi growled, narrowing her eyes on the thick bush as she sent her long vines inside to investigate. That delectable little morsal was hiding in there somewhere and would soon be in Moyashi’s gut, if the Bellsprout had anything to say about it. Tonbo buzzed overhead, sending several sharp gusts of wind to slice Moyashi’s extra vines into small, broken up pieces. “You leave her alone…understand?” His voice cracked though he tried to sound brave. Someone had to stand up to the local bully!
Moyashi scoffed, spinning around on her nimble vines and stared up at Tonbo who buzzed overhead. “Whose going to make me? You?! What can you do?!” She demanded, sending several more vines flowing out from her sides to chase after the other bug that soared above. Tonbo was too quick for Moyashi, however, and effortlessly dodged her attacks. Though he fretted as his thoughts bounced around in his head and he considered the notion that Moyashi might be right. He wasn’t the strongest bug out there. Even though he was faster than Moyashi’s vines, he wasn’t even the fastest one, either. Who was he to give orders? Besides another Pokemon that cared and wanted to protect his friends.
“You leave them both alone!” A small gothic-looking child-like Pokemon slapped Moyashi, causing the Bellsprout’s head to spin. That hurt! And Goshikka definitely meant for it to. “You’re nothing but a big bully, you know that? I’d love to feed you to the Shadow Demons that lurk in the darkness of the night, and I just might. They have massive teeth and love to tear mean Pokemon’s bodies into tiny bits! You’d be just the type of Pokemon they’d love to devour!” She smirked with a wild grin washed over her face. Moyashi just shrugged, not too convinced that what Goshikka was saying wasn’t just a big pile of stinking Tauros dung. “Sure, squirt. Whatever you say.” She laughed.
OOC: New encounter please. ^^ Moyashi has N/A spot available so should learn Poison Powder. Updating move on Poke.

Alex was grabbing a snack when Zaiden knocked on the door to inquire about borrowing the PC to switch some Pokemon. He briefly offered some crunchy biscuits to the young trainer, but whether or not he wanted it, once he's done switching around, they went on their separate directions once again. "Heey!~" A small little voice squeaked. "What shadow demon? Does it like pretty flowers? Does it like nice Pokemon? Maybe it needs a little flower crown to be happy?" This strange grass type appeared, and it was different from the first one, as this one was quite bold and unafraid of this scary demon the Gothita was talking about. Once it settled into a spot, it bowed and greeted every one of the human's Pokemon as a greeting.

When Alex answered the door, Zaiden was happy to see the familiar face. Even if he was a difficult to kid get to know, Zaiden enjoyed the acquaintance he’d met previously and was grateful that Alex didn’t seem to mind him exploring the area around his estates. “Thanks.” He added as Alex handed him some crunchy biscuits, graciously accepting them and chomping down on them hungrily. He hadn’t even realized how hungry he truly was, until Zaiden noticed that he’d wolfed down quite a few of Alex’s biscuits with ease. “There’s…uh…lot of Petilil…lately.” He added jokingly.
As soon as he stepped back out, Zaiden couldn’t help but explode in laughter. Before him was another Petilil, who seemed to have been summoned by the young teenager simply mentioning their overpopulation in the area. Did anything else live around here? He was sure he once encountered other Pokemon, though now it seemed as though they’d all scampered off somewhere. The freezing cold that had oddly rolled across the land caused Zaiden to shiver profusely. He immediately pulled his jacket out and slipped it over his shoulders with ease. Where did this oddly cold weather even come from, anyways?
Cho crawled out of the grass and looked up at the strange looking plant. It was so big and leafy, Cho thought that he was staring dinner right in the face. Yes! Who ordered delivery?! “I would like a crown of flowers!” He blossomed up with a big, wide smile. “Do you mind making me one? Maybe I can have any of the leaves you might be shedding, too? Do you shed leaves like other plants? Because they look really tasty!” Cho wasn’t heartless, so he didn’t really want to hurt the other Pokemon. But he couldn’t help himself. He crawled right over on his many short, stubby buggy legs and attempted to chomp chomp on one of Petilil’s exposed leaves. Goshikka smirked, responding to Petilil’s inquiry. “Oh, no! These shadow demons only live off torturing souls! Like yours!” She laughed maniacally.

"A lot of Petilil? That's strange. Did Spring came early?" Alex joked back, but didn't take Zaiden seriously as he wasn't like, invested in the population of a Pokemon's population right now. The young grass type watched as the human put on another layer, but when it moved its back back to level, it noticed a Wurmple talking to it like a hungry and crazed predator. It startled the young leafling Pokemon as it spoke, "Uhh... DO you want a crown of flower or leaves? You can't have my leaves. You can get your own though, there's plenty around here!"Although that didn't stop the bug type as Cho kept crawling forward. The Petilil quickly let out a cry and conjured a small orb above its head, trying to absorb some life energy. "Get off from me! Get your own leaves! I'm not shedding any leaves!" It ran around trying to flee the bug type, squeaking in a charming voice. "Pretty please?" Sadly, that didn't stop the Wurmple. The grass type fled to safety, but was panting and exhausted already from being bit so hard.

During the time Zaiden spent briefly inside with Alex, he laughed when Alex asked if spring came early. It had been some time since he’d watched the latest news report surrounding Watchog and its shadow. The current Watchog they used was an ornery Pokemon that sometimes refused to show itself, often resulting in a draw instead of an official ruling. Was that something that happened this year, though? It seemed like such a silly thing to say. That spring was neither arriving early nor late. “It’s probably right on time.” Zaiden laughed with a quick note, assuming that was what a draw would be, anyways.
During the current battle he found himself swallowed within, Zaiden couldn’t help but find the latest Petilil an almost inspiring Pokemon. Beaten and bruised by Cho’s best attacks, it huffed on weary limbs and stared at its opponent with a will that refused to back down. Zaiden contemplated the idea of capturing the Pokemon though he had little use for another of the cute plants within his arsenal of Pokemon he already owned. Would they find value on the market for some eager and willing trainer? It was an unknown mystery but one that he doubted he was in the right market for. Most of the balls he carried on him within the estates Zaiden doubted would guarantee him the catch.
Perhaps, he could offer it as a simple solace for the weakened Petilil? Soft beige arms thrust themselves inside of his bag and snatched a red-and-white sphere from within. He gently placed it on the ground while placing a foot in front of Cho, temporarily blocking the hunger crazed caterpillar from its newly found target. Poor Cho, though. Though his stomach rumbled and gnawed from within, the reddish-pink Wurmple wasn’t necessarily trying to cause Petilil such extreme amounts of pain. Zaiden nodded his head expectantly to the small orb and awaited Petilil’s response for but a brief second.
Should Petilil refuse, he would unleash the eager-to-chew caterpillar upon the leafy plant once more, who would immediately give chase yet again. “I can’t get my own leaves?” Cho spoke in a dazed confusion as she twisted her head this way and that, trying to determine where she’d go to ‘get’ said leaves of her own from in the first place. “I would rather a crown of leaves, though. They’re extra yummy! Can you at least help me get some leaves of my own? I didn’t mean to cause you any pain…I’m sorry.” Cho spoke sadly, nearly in tears from the assumed terror it must have been.

"Do you not see leaves everywhere? Are those eyes just decorations?" The Petilil huffed, and turned her eyes looking around at the foliage around her. She wasn't sure why would a Wurmple ask her that question in this place. It wasn't like they were in the middle of a savannah or something! Then, a Pokeball hurled forward and sucked in the grass type. The Petilil barely struggled a little before she was captured with a successful Ding! sound that resonated in the garden. With the grass type gone, the Wurmple felt that he was ready to take on the world with his newfound knowledge. His body began to glow, but should Zaiden intervene, he would stop evolving.

Soft yellow eyes with dark pupils turned their attention to the ground. Through the emerald blades that steadily climbed closer to heaven’s floor were many artifacts. They littered the earth readily, with shell encasing from acorns slowly crumbling into bits and pieces and twigs snapped into smaller chunks curled up between the bright green grass. Amongst them were many old and withered leaves, now hard casings from the once soft and vibrant edges they used to adorn. So too, their colors had been stripped, leaving muddied browns and dark reds that disappeared against the dirt and sticks littered on the ground. Yuck!
“You expect me to eat day old leaves?” The question was in earnest. Cho couldn’t understand what benefit a Pokemon such as himself or even Petilil would derive from the unpleasantness of tasting old and forgotten foods. It seemed likened to that of someone delving into their refrigerator only to pull out week old leftover, picking off the soft fuzzy ‘white things’ that grew on top, and heating it up for lunch. Risking one’s health was low on Cho’s list of things to do within his lifetime. “I prefer mine fresh.” The Wurmple stretched up tall, bright yellow horn dripping at its tip from poisonous substances flowing freely inside of him reaching towards the wispy clouds dotting the skies above.
Their conversation ended in quick succession when Petitlil readily accepted its fate as a newly captured Pokemon. A duplicate of Zaiden’s earlier capture though perhaps different in strength and skill alone, it would no doubt find itself placed upon a shelf in due time, to be sold to the highest bidder. He had a home to save and a life to return to, though Zaiden’s doubts only amplified as the sands of time marched steadily away from him. Would he ever return to his parents and save their home from the loan sharks that swam around them in a tight feeding frenzy? It wasn’t a child’s burden to bare, but Zaiden made it his own nonetheless.
“Let’s cont-?!” Words paused, trapped inside of the young teenager’s throat as dark chocolate hues turned to his fuchsia worm. Cho spat long, thick sticky string out of his mouth and encased himself in a soft white cocoon protruding with several tiny spikes. The spikes served two functional purposes that was readily apparent by gaze along. One allowed it to cling to any surface where it could hopefully remain dormant and prepare itself for the final evolution, whilst the other aided in defense making it less tasty of a snack to ravenous Pokemon who might try to pluck it with their beaks for lunch. Cho evolved. Not like Shiwa back in Zaiden’s early journeys, the memories of which caused small water droplets to stain the corners of his eyes. But into something wholly new and unique.
He nodded quietly, carefully recalling the small bug with a quick click of a button, and turning back to the overgrowing gardens around them. Spring was in the air, bringing a bounty flora and fauna wherever its long tendrils stretched and slowly awoken the earth with gently warming rays from the burning sun above. Several small flowers burst forth on the ends of their branches, uncurling brilliant blush pink, rosy red, and flaxen yellow hues. Was there more to this garden than Petilil, though? Zaiden was nearly convinced that only they lived within the wondrous groves of overgrown bushes and entangling vines. Nevertheless, he pressed on and searched through the brilliant emerald blades that danced silently in the gentle breeze, hoping to see what else the gardens might be hiding.
OOC: Cho evolves. Ability changes to Shed Skin. Cho forgets String Shot and learns Harden. Self-Updating. New encounter not Petilil!

Petilil would be confused by the Wurmple's cry if she wasn't captured. She was used to watching leaves growing slowly little by little. What would makes a leaf any fresher if they're still attached to the plants? Unless the leaves had fallen off the branch they came from, they're all fresh and not a day old! The sky was cloudy unsuspectingly, and without a rumble, the clouds began dropping water onto the ground, soaking everyone along the way. This was just a simple rain shower in the spring. Then, as if on cue that the atmosphere had been set, a lone Kricketune began playing music from its arms. A sad, melancholic tune that communicated the tone of grievance or sadness or loss. It was humming and tuning the music to itself nonchalantly as it practiced music. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/kricketune.png) A (Level 15) Kricketune appeared!

The weather proved to be a mysterious beast that could not be tamed. Dark clouds crawled across the once bright blue skies. Their large grey masses stretched over each other and merged into a large blanket over the heavens above. Zaiden blinked, tilting his head up to study the dreary landscape above and groaned as a small streak of water slapped him in the face. Rain was approaching by the minute, and within seconds the torrential downpour burst from the clouds and scattered across the ground below.
Why? A thought that etched across the inner walls of his mind. Although his backpack was a utility tool that carried most of the supplies he would need along his journey, Zaiden felt no such inkling of joy or contentment procuring the sleek translucent poncho from within his bag. He slipped it over his head and sighed, mentally cursing to himself and wondering if it would be wiser to pack it up and go back inside until the worst of the rains died back down.
Something caused Zaiden to pause in his tracks. He listened to the soft melodies with wide, curious dark brown eyes. Their gaze reverted back to the tall grasses and beautiful flowers in bloom on their stalks. The melody was melancholy, as though it were mourning the loss of someone or something that was very important and was now long gone. Was the stranger grieving? Perhaps for a fallen family member or friend, who had struggled against their demons only to lose the battle in the end?
Zaiden slowly approached the sounds while remaining as silent as possible. He was careful to slowly place each foot down along their path so that he didn't even accidentally snap a twig underneath their weight. What awaited him caused Zaiden to relax and tilt his head slightly to the side. The kricketunec was just a bug, not much different to Zaiden than many of the other garden variety bugs he encountered along the way, even though he couldn't recall seeing such a bug as this one before. Its music caught his attention moreso than its presence, as Zaiden wondered why it sounded like it was crying.
Cho plopped over near Kricketune's side and stared up at the musician with soft, caring eyes. "Do you want to talk about it?" Cho lost many a Wurmple in his old colony to the fiercesome claws of airborne avians who could easily pluck them off the ground as though they were than pebbles laying in waiting. They were brothers and sisters, each with a heartbeat and soul that could never be forgotten. Some of them inspired Cho to eventually evolve into a majestic Beautifly so that with his newfound strength he could chase their adversaries off for once and for all.
"You know..." Cho spoke quietly, barely above a whisper. His eyes shifted to the puddles forming on the ground in the heavy rains. Memories flooded his mind, where glimpses of their smiling faces as he chased them cheerfully around the bases of old oak trees and across their long branches. "I've lost a lot of people that were dear to me once, myself. Where I used to live were some mean birds. They always soared overhead and one day my friend, Wurmple, wondered too far from the safety of our colony..." By sharing his burden, perhaps it would make it easier for Kricketune to also open up.
What Cho didn't realize was how closely he was leaning towards his friend. If he wasn't careful, he might accidentally bite Kricketune with his buggy teeth. Because Cho was oblivious in the moment, head stuck in a past life that was now long forgotten except by him, the attempt to bite would have been made. He'd immediately yank his head back if he accidentally bit Kricketune and lower his eyes to the ground guiltily. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" Cho would ask Kricketune after the fact.

"Talk about what?" Kricketune replied, confused by the sudden interaction coming from the other bug Pokemon. It was startled briefly. "Oh, the music? I'm not grieving for anyone in particular. I am practicing my victory song for when I beat a Spearow." Either this Kricketune was used to losing other Pokemon friends, or it was used to being alone so it could not relate to loss, or it just really wanted to defeat a Spearow. "Maybe you wanted to talk about it instead?" It suggested at the other Pokemon. When the Silcoon appeared beside it. "It sounds like you need it more than me?"When Cho accidentally bit it though, the Kricketune didn't sound all too bothered. "And, just keep a distance from me so you won't accidentally bite me again. I can hear you pretty well.

The rain poured down from the heavens above, dampening the ground and wetting Cho’s newly formed shell. He blinked, not entirely sure how to respond to Kricketune at first. The melodies were somber notes of mourning, where one’s heart had been ripped to pieces and left spilled out across the ground. Yet this strange bug insisted that it was a victory sound, meant to uplift you and proclaim your greatness amid a particularly hard fight. Had Cho just misheard or misinterpreted the melodies altogether? “Are there…lots of Spearow around here?” The Silcoon asked nervously, its eyes casting their gaze upwards towards the skies above.
Only dark clouds cast their shadows down on the earth below. They were thick, ladened with water that they unleashed in a furious rainstorm, and a deep grey that was almost blackish around the edges. Though they appeared relatively empty of passing avians looking to swoop down and pluck an unsuspecting bug up for a quick gobble. Kricketune took the bites well but insisted Cho add some distance between them, to which he easily plopped a few inches away so it would be harder for him to accidentally hurt Kricketune again. “I guess the weather’s keeping them at bay right now…huh?” He questioned aloud.
Kricketune did something even more surprising by offering to talk to Cho about his experiences. The can of worms were closed tightly, locked away in foreign memories of a time long ago during his youth. Life was better and simpler then. He would often listen to the wise older Wurmple, and colony Dustox and Beautifly leaders, remind them that they needed to keep close to shelter at all times because of the possibilities of birds plucking you out of the grass and making a quick meal of you. Cho laughed at the advise of his elders so often back then. What did they know? They were old and ancient fossils, full of fearmongering and superstitions. They couldn’t understand what being young was like.
“She was…like a breath of fresh air. She lit up a forest, even in the darkest corners where the sun’s light could never reach. No matter what kind of day you had, she knew how to cheer you up.” A small tear formed in the corner of Cho’s eyes as she relived some of his happiest memories with his old Wurmple friend. She’d stayed up many a night with him, helping him understand why his parents were ‘being so mean’. She even protected him against the bully Wurmple that always picked on him, fighting for him and insisting that they didn’t know Cho like she did. Why does the world have to take its best Pokemon in just tragic ways?
“Are you…sure you don’t mind me talking about it though?” Cho was suddenly shy to continue on. Who was he to this Kricketune anyways? And why should Kricketune care? The other bug seemed kind and caring enough, but what if Kricketune turned out to be just like the old bullies of his youth? Thought that all the things Cho went through there just trivial matters and that he just needed to Bug Up and move on? Or worse? What if Cho bored him with all the details and useless bits of information? “You would have love her, too, if you had met her.” Cho kind of mumbled to himself, teetering on the notion of continuing the conversation and letting Kricketune in, or moving on and shutting the other bug firmly out. He chewed anxiously on his own lips and hummed softly in quiet consideration of what he should do.

The Kricketune hummed and nodded as much as a Pokemon with small neck could nod. "Yeah, there's a lot of Spearows here. Sometimes on a good day, my mates could beat them. I haven't beat one yet, they just seemed to be getting the upper hand all the time. Just... one day."The Kricketune gave the Silcoon a one arm hug, comforting the reminiscing bug. (Unintentional rhyme!) Then, it spoke, "She sounds like a wonderful friend. Feel free to talk about her. And no, I am not doing much anyways, I am just practicing my victory song." It looked at the poor Silcoon, although Cho only had eyes right now through the cocoon, Kricketune could feel a sadness on the Silcoon's face. The rainy weather wasn't helping with the mood either. It didn't know what else to say for now, but maybe it'll be more natural to just let the porcelain skinned bug do the talking, as much and as comfortable as it wanted.

"Why not? Some Kricketunes like to be the best musician, some would like to serenade a fellow lover, but I just want to beat our enemies in this garden. Everyone have different goals in life. I guess mine would be a little uncommon." Kricketune chirped and shrugged as it replied. "Well, there is some fear to being eaten but once they tasted our sharp arms, they'll rethink that going down their throat!"The musical bug listened to the Silcoon as he spoked, but then it was temporarily sucked inside the capture device hurled by the trainer. After the ball shook the few times, thankfully, it popped right back out. "Uhh... I am sorry. I hope I heard everything you said." It stammered as it figured out what just happened. "Well," It began. "Sometimes there are a lot of things in life that's just outside of our control. You were a young Wurmple once, and there's only so much you could do. I don't know how to help you, but I'll listen to you if it helps."Wild Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Kricketune LV 15 HP 37% [19/52]

Goshikka not in active party! ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion Bike Mode: On | Time: Day
Cho sat in quiet contemplation as he listened to Kricketune speak. For a moment, his concerns slowly faded to the ether. It was a strange notion for the small bug to consider. While he might have been daring in his youth, Cho just wasn’t sure he was the kind of bug who could willingly challenge his enemies and hope to overcome them just as easily. “Do most Kricketune choose to be musicians?” Cho asked curiously with a tilt of his body. When Cho was a small caterpillar, he had several hands and feet and never once considered making music of his own. Now that he was a chrysalis, he couldn’t create a beat even if he wanted to.
“I hope you get to see your dreams through.” Cho nodded thoughtfully. Would they sing tales of Kricketune’s greatness if it were to fell a Spearow? Would its legacy live on through the youthful eyes of newly hatched Kricketot? Would Kricketune simply fade away, only knowing the victory it managed itself, with none to carry on the memories after its time on this mortal plane ceased to exist? The thoughts seemed to blur in the back of Cho’s mind as they spun in rapid succession. What did it truly mean to have your legacy live on after you’re gone, anyways? Kricketune had such a way with words even as it spoke about the fears the bug harbored when considering the fight it would have against a Spearow.
“Your arms do look very sharp.” Cho nodded with a wide smile. Well…if you could see the smile underneath the densely packed material that kept Cho’s gooey innards intact as he slowly solidified and reshaped into a winged bug inside of his shell. “If I were a Spearow…I’d think twice about eating you. That’s for sure!” He giggled, with a gentle nudge against the other bug. Like a high-five just…you know…with your whole body giving the barely-a-tap. Were his words of encouragement going to help? Probably not. Whatever was destined to happen, that was a future that Cho had no earthly idea of and he doubted Kricketune really had an idea of either.
“It’s hard when you’re a weak bug and you can’t protect those that you treasure most.” Cho admitted quietly, thinking back on his friend that he lost. “She was carried off by a Spearow.” He stated quietly, eyes staring off into the distance. He could still hear the blood-curling screaming. He could still hear the faint flapping of long, powerful wings through the canopies overhead. He could still smell the faint hint of jasmine in the air from blooming plants nearby. It all felt so real to him. Like it existed in this time and space, never ending, a memory he would forever be encased inside of. And yet, it felt so far away, as though it may have only been a dream.
“We were going to travel the region together. I promised her that we would meet the wise Scyther in the Safari Zone. He’s lived many generations and had managed to best a Braviary, from what the legends foretold.” Cho’s eyes glistened with excitement as he thought back on those nestling stories the elders always shared. Were they true? He wanted to find out with his friend and hoped that they would make it there together one day. Would it even be worth the travel, now? How could he ask the wise Scyther about his many great feats without his partner in crime by his side? And how could he explain to such a strong and brave bug that he’d allowed a bird to carry her off and end her existence before her time?
OOC: Now using Poke Ball! Then using Bug Bite after! Self-updating x4 left!
