Excited by learning a new move, the overly excited Zigzagoon deeper into the garden until he arrived in an area planted with a number of trees. While the trees weren't dense and crazy and widespread like Ilex Forest, they were enough to provide sufficient shade if it was during the day, or cover the starry night sky if it was night. Zag slammed his head into a tree, which immediately dropped a Pokemon onto the ground. "Hey, do you mind?" A purple cocoon appeared, yelling angrily as its eyes rolled and located Zag. "Some of us are trying to sleep here!" It didn't look like it was happy to see the normal type.

Zag yipped in surprise as the casoon fell out. Oh! Hello friend! He bounced around the immobile cacoon in infinite curiosity, paws a bit at the bug-type's sides. "Woah, I've never seen a pokemon like you before...where are your legs? How do you move? Ig and Flicker float but you don't look like you do that." Poke poke poke.
Adrian was more interested in potentially catching the pokemon for his dex quest. He didn't have a wurmple or any of its evolutions, and it hadn't even occurred to him to try to catch the big dustox at the gate.
Hm. Let's see...
"Queenie, use gust," he called out. He doubted the combee would knock it out right away. He'd then have a chance to catch it after doing just a little chip damage. The queen bee emerged from the ball with a buzz and a bob before drifting closer to her fellow bug type. The vibration of her wings was intense, knocking against the side of the cascoon as he floated there.
Were they battling?
Of course, right about then, another ball broke open and there suddenly was...well...a geodude beside Adrian, watching as well.
"...Ig, you have got to stop that. You can't just come out of your ball whenever you feel like it. You'll get hurt one of these days." — OOC: Queenie is sent out to use gust.

Cascoon was going to answer Zag, up until it was being poked. "STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME!" The grumpy bug yelled at the normal type. Imagine not getting your sleep and then being poked by a clawed creature! As if that wasn't enough, the Zigzagoonw as soon joined by a Combee and a Geodude. Thankfully, the Zigzagoon had backed off after the Combee was chosen to face it. The Combee fluttered her tiny baby wings at the Cascoon, which the cocoon Pokemon could do nothing but closed its eyes, as it tensed its muscles to toughed up its defenseless defense. There wasn't much it could do, unless it evolved into Dustox. Wild Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Cascoon LV 13 HP 78% [31/40]

"Queenie, I think this will be a fairly easy battle for you. Use a couple more gusts. If it isn't blown away, I'll throw a ball." Adrian told his combee. He watched fondly as the little bee buzzed her way forth and continued to vibrate her wings fast enough to whip up the wing into a fury.
The complaints of the grumpy cascoon went unanswered as there were things to do and places to be darling.
Zag hopped around and decided to harass more trees, giggling as he rolled backwards from the impact of some of his blows. This was fun! Tee-hee! So much fun! He was going to be a menace now, wasn't he? Absolutely insufferable.
But Adrian had to admit it was rather cute watching the little raccoon have so much fun, racing and running around, just delighted to be alive. Ig watched this battle with curious fascination. Hm. Would be be allowed to battle too? Did he want to battle? This was very interesting.
He did have to wonder...where was its arms? It was round like him but had no arms. It didn't float. No legs either. It seemed very inefficient for doing anything but sitting there like a lump. — OOC: Queenie uses 2 more gusts.

Queenie was buzzing away at the unmoving cocoon, wings humming with all their might! BZZZZZZ! It was...not very impressive, but she was trying. When she looked like she was starting to tire from exertion, Adrian got out a ball and gave a it a toss at the cascoon. He wasn't sure if queenie would knock it out or not with more gusts, but he did need this for the pokedex and it seemed like the battle might draw on for much longer if he didn't, well, at least try to intervene.
"Sorry about interrupting your nap, pal, but if you go into the ball, you can go right back to sleeping." Adrian coaxed.
Queenie bzzzzzzed.
He wondered if she'd find honey while they battled stuff here. He heard that was something combee could do.

The Cascoon wasn't sure if it could go back to sleep again after tensing itself to buff its defense, but after the Pokeball sucked up the Pokemon, the immobile Pokemon was gone and into another dimension. The capture device dropped to the ground and shook on the soft ground as Adrian watched the Pokeball did its wobble wiggle dance. The ball shook to the left. Then the ball shook to the right. DING! The cocoon Pokemon was captured, and if Adrian didn't need it in the next few hours, it would be sleeping tight like a baby. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/ani/combee.gif) Queenie gained 3 levels for winning!

"Good job, Queenie," Adrian praised as he approached and picked up the ball. Sure the cascoon didn't fight, but she didn't give up either. That was important. "Now go on and rest a bit, okay?" The bee buzzed off to go harass some flowers nearby. Noms. She didn't come back with any honey, so he'd yet to confirm that was something combee could just do.
He tried to relax a bit, but Zag was making that hard. The overenthusiastic Zigzagoon was running around like an absolute maniac, slamming into trees and rolling backwards with a giggle, delighted by the fact it didn't hurt. He was concerned about the goofball's remaining braincells, honestly. He wasn't ever the brightest raccoon ever, but this couldn't be helping.
"Easy, Zag, maybe calm yourself a little?" he soothed. Zag zipped along and wove between his teammates and eventually up Adrian's leg. More happy squeaks before jumping down. Buddy looked, amused and a little tired. She half-heartedly tried to slow him down with her vines, but Zag was already on course to slam into that tree again. He charged as fast as he could and headbutted that shakable tree with all his might!
"What are you even trying to do? Pick fights or just show off your new move?" Adrian asked tiredly, rubbing his head. He couldn't imagine any of this was actually all that fun. It just looked painful.

Slamming onto another tree, the energetic Zigzagoon was running around like a town crier in medieval Galar shouting the price of wheat had gone up, if you replace the shouting with head smashing onto trees. After a powerful momentum, the mighty tree shook like it was in a storm. Then, another Cascoon fell onto the ground, and it looked a little different from the one earlier. "BE GONE! Thou brainless rat!" The Pokemon cried in old Pokemon-speak. Either this bug Pokemon's lineage only speak like this, or it had a new obsession with historical language. Communication might be an issue with Adrian's Pokemon who prefer modern linguistic.

Adrian of course didn't notice. He just stared at the bright. neon green of the cocoon. He just caught one of these. He knew they weren't supposed to be green. Whelp.
"Queenie, use gust a couple times. More practice will be good for you. But try to not knock it out," he said. "I want to catch it."
Bzzz. The queen hummed her way towards the odd pokemon and sighed with royal dignity. Well. This WAS a matter for her to handle.
"Be silent, peasant." Queenie announced. "Before thee is thy queen, present and future. Thou shalt give me respect and hold thy vile tongue if thou will only spout obscenities."
The other pokemon looked at each other, a little confused, but supportive.
Queenie sniffed primly and started to kick up the wing with her wings.
"It would be an honor for thee to be invited to my hive. Wilst thou mind thyself and be honored with such a dignity?"
Buddy shuffled towards Buddy and whispered loudly, "What's Queenie saying? Why is she using a bunch a weird sounding words?"
"She is, er, speaking very formally. Not many pokemon talk like that. None that I've met. I didn't even know Queenie knew how. But she is a 'queen bee'. Maybe it was part of her education before she met us?"

"Queen? Thou art a jester?" The Cascoon snickered. Then, before it could say the next word, Queenie fluttered her wings for some mighty gusts. The Cascoon, like the one before it, closed its eyes to brace for the blow and tightened its muscles to be on the defensive side. It took the opponent's bug type's windy gusts like a champ, but not so her words. "Wherefore dost a queen allies with a vermin?" The green colored bug hissed again, questioning the "queen's" authority. It blinked and then glared coldly at the so called Queen, as it wasn't convinced yet. "Thou has't no dignity for thyself? Because thee has't side with the rotten swamp fool! Thou art the very same vileness and villainy!"

"Jester?! Villain? Watch thy tongue, peasant," Queenie scoffed, buzzing haughtily. Her wings started to vibrate again, as if to blow the cocoon away with a powerful just, but Adrian stepped forward and threw a ball. Apparently her trainer had decided to catch this foul mannered beast. Tch. How droll.
Adrian openly admitted to himself that the only reason he was catching this cocoon was because it was shiny. He didn't need it, but shiny pokemon weren't exactly a common sight. He also didn't realize it had already formed a vicious rivalry with Queenie and the two did not tolerate each other at all.
Zag was already bored and running around, looking to slam his head into more trees for fun because that's just something he was doing for fun now. — OOC: Throwing pokeball.

"Wherefore art--" The Cascoon hissed and did not finished its sentence before its head (and basically body) was hit by a capture device. The ball quickly sucked in the weird bug type and shook on the ground like one to two times before completing with a loud DIng! It might be easy to miscount how many times it shook because it was dark out, but that wasn't the point. The narrator was being normally unreliable. With the Cascoon gone, the Combee had learned something new, like wild Pokemon diplomacy skill. Sadly, it won't be conquering much colonies in the world when you're traveling with a human.

"Good job queenie," Adrian praised his combee. "Take a small break if you need." She bzzed and happily wandered through some nearby flowers and enjoyed herself, feeling smug about defeating that pompous cascoon that didn't know how to respect its superiors!
As she buzzed along, Zag continued to have a merry time, and zagged along. A few moments later he SMASHED headfirst into that tree AGAIN, before rolling back with a delighted giggle. What a menace. An absolute, fluffy menace.
"You're going to get yourself into trouble you can't get out of," Adrian warned with a shake of his head and a sigh.

Headbutting into another tree, the furry normal type rammed into another tree and shook another Pokemon out of its slumber. A green, leafy coated oblong Pokemon dropped to the ground, with eyes staring at the Zigzagoon who woke it from its slumber. "WHAT ON EARTH? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? JUST WAKE UP POKEMON IN THE MIDDLE OF NIGHT? WHAT DO YOU WANT?" It screamed angrily at the Zigzagoon, whose fluffy innocence might not comprehend this. "WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU HERE AND WHAT DO YOU WANT AND WHY DID YOU DO THIS?" The Burmy blinked and took a breath before yelling again at the Zigzagoon, using its adrenaline from being shook and knocked awake.
