Fishing in the orchard lake was a quieter activity than headbutting trees and harassing sleeping Pokemon. Now Zag and Queenie had the freedom to run around in the grassy field to rustle some tall grass blades. Intended to try out his new fishing rod and learning how to fish, the young fisherman tossed his rod with bait into the lake, readying to lure whichever curious Pokemon into the line and hook. Nothing happened yet. A lone Tympole was swimming far away, although with its back turned so it could neither see nor smell the bait in its direction. Suddenly, the rod bobbed as something bit. It was a Lotad with expressionless face. It was just... present. It wasn't a big weighty Pokemon, so Adrian didn't need to exert much strength to reel it in either. Soon, the leafy Pokemon was hooked up!

Adrian smiled as he reeled in whatever had just nibbled at the end of his line. It must be a pretty small, docile pokemon, because it didn't appear to fight much. With a little effort, he managed to reel in...a lily pad? No. No that was a pokemon. A lotad. Huh. He didn't have one of these yet. Not what he was fishing for but...he wasn't going to turn one down!
"Hey Queenie, buzz over here for a bit," he called out to the combee, holding the rod over the shoreline and giving the pokemon at the end a little shake to try to dislodge it from the hook. "Can you use bug bite to get it to let go?"
<I suppose I can manage that> the queen bee sighed, zipping over to the lotad to CHOMP as hard as she could on a that leafy lily pad on its back. Adrian fumbled a bit with his free hand and attempted to throw a ball at the fished up pokemon, fingers crossed that it would stay in the ball. There were apparently more things in this water than the magikarp and poliwag he originally wandered over to investigate.
— OOC:
Bait becomes leftover bait after 1 use. Since one of its two uses has been used up. Since otherwise there is no way of tracking how much bait is in a bait jar.
Which means I have three uses of bait left (1 bait jar + 1 leftover bait jar).

The Lotad stubbornly held onto the fishing rod as it hadn't seen one before. When the little bug type flew over and gave it a bite, it jolted immediately, unlike a Slowpoke, and flailed on the fishing line. It took some swinging, but eventually, it was flung off and into the garden to face the Combee. "Eww, gross. Why did you bite me!?" the duo type roared disgustedly, and fired a shot of water at the Combee. And tried to shoot some water at it. It was dark out and wasn't a Pokemon known for its night time vision, so it unknowingly blasted away the Pokeball thrown at it. The capture device fell on the ground, and broke apart.

<It was necessary to persuade you to release the hook, or so my trainer seems to believe.> Queenie replied before she was blasted with water. <Cease and desist! I do not desire to be wet!> She vibrated her wings to send the lotad into the air again with a strong Gust. She wasn't a powerful vespiquen yet, but she didn't like her authority challenged!
Zag just watched with curious eyes. He'd eventually wriggle to go peer into the park surface of the pond. Were there more pokemon in there?
"...Hello? New friends?"
Adrian, wanting to catch this odd lily pad pokemon, threw a pokeball to snare it. Again. Since the last one was broken by its water gun attack.

"Disease? Are you sick?" Lotad slowly mumbled up a reply, mishearing what Queenie said. The Combee fluttered a gust of wind toward it, but it managed to held on the ground with its tiny little feet. Then, the Lotad deeply inhaled and then exhaled before making the area misty. "Momma said if you're sick, try slowly swimming in the morning mist. It's almost morning soon, but now you should go swimming!"Sadly, before it could witness Combee trying for a swim, it was captured by Adrian's Pokeball, sucking it completely into the capture device. The ball wiggled a few times before sounding a DING! for success. Give it a few minutes, and the mist the Lotad exhaled would soon dissipiate by itself.

<I am not diseased!> Queenie huffed. She buzzed about, trying to clear the mist that the lotad summoned. Though soon enough it did so on its own. She huffed and bzzed along, retreating to the flowers to rest while her trainer picked up the ball, pocketed it, and began to bait his line again.
He was pretty sure he saw something small and round splash into the pond (a poliwag?) and there wasn't a body of water outside of Unova that didn't have magikarp in it.
He did have a dex to complete. And gyarados was a pretty impressive pokemon if you got the darn, useless fish to stop flopping and evolve.
Adrian cast his line again, mind drifting to the notices about scammers trying to sell people magikarp for exorbitant prices, citing some kind of pokemon breeding ponzi scheme. Because apparently they spread rumors about magikarp breeding hundreds of eggs easily and how everyone wanted one. Despite the fact that anyone with a stick could poke one out of the water if they found a deep enough puddle.

Thinking and wanting a Magikarp, Adrian casted his reel again into the nightly quiet pond. There wasn't much Pokemon stirred by moving water at the moment, and it took a good few minutes for a Pokemon to take a bite. Within those few minutes, a soft wind rustled some grass in the distance, and then made its way to create ripples in the water. The sky moved quietly and steadily as it revealed the current mood phase and some stars. Was it Saturn up in the sky or Mars? A bobble. After Adrian pulled the reel, with a struggle as this one was a cheeky one. It swam zigzagged in the water before it got bored and jumped out of water. It revealed itself to be a Poliwag. It blinked and stared at the trainer. Now what?

Cheeky poliwag, meet royal bee.
Queenie, who was enjoying her laze around the flowers, meandered over to Adrian and rested in the lush petals near where he was fishing. She was just breezily drinking in the calm and quiet when out from the water popped a poliwag.
"Huh. I thought I saw one of these," Adrian remarked. "Not a magikarp, but still a good catch, I'd say." He needed one or two of these anyway for the Dex. So, now all that was left to do was catch the darn thing... "Queenie, use bug bite to weaken it." He laid down the fishing rod to pull a ball out of his pocket.
Quieenie let out an elegant huff.
<Why can't Zag do it?> she complained as she drifted towards the poliwag.
<I'm on break!> yipped Zag. <I'm sure I'll get to headbutt more trees soon!> Content, he stayed where he was settled, peering into the water now and then.
Queenie groaned before doing as she was told, zipping forward to try to take a chomp out of the poliwag's side. NOM!
Adrian then tossed a pokeball at the little tadpole.

Queenie didn't get to relax by the flowers for too long before being called over to take a bite out of another fished up Pokemon. After complaining to the shadow government known as Adrian, who had additional reign over Queenie, the reluctant bug type flew over and bit the next fishing victim. Filing labor complaint might work another time. "Hey, you! What are you doing? Eat this!" the Poliwag fired some little blob of muds from the inside of its mouth, which the Combee simply flew up and avoided them all until gravity pulled them down. Then, before it realized what happened, the human sent a capture device and sucked up the unsuspecting water type into the capture device dimension. The sphere fell on the ground, and wobbled a bit before indicating a successful capture with yet another DING!

Adrian picked up the ball and nodded.
"Yknow, I think I'll train this one for a bit," Adrian said to himself. The poliwag interested him far more than burmy, cascoon or lotad. Maybe it was his origin from Kanto showing but...he was curious how the little tadpole would do. From his research, he knew that the gym leader Chuck used a poliwrath and that Politoad was first discovered here in Johto.
With a nod of self-assurance, he baited a new hook and cast the line. It would probably be a while before he got another bite, so he used his pokedex to check on his pokemon. Hm. Interesting. Queenie and Zag both looked like they'd be ready to evolve soon, and this new poliwag wasn't too far off himself. A few more levels and he might be able to see a handful of evolutions! That would be cool to see.
Queenie becoming a big, powerful vespiquen. Zag becoming a fast linoone. This as of yet unnamed poliwag becoming a poliwhirl. Coming here was a splendid idea. He smiled to himself as he checked his fishing rod and awaited another bite with eager anticipation.

Casted another reel, this one was a bit more energetic but it wasn't difficult either. Perhaps most or all of the Pokemon in this little pond didn't weight a lot, so the challenge or pulling them shouldn't be too hard. This one was taking its time in the water swaying left and right as if it was a game. After some time of toying with Adrian's rod, the catch appeared! It was a Lotad! For a Pokemon having fun and taking its time in the water, one would expected it to be something else... The fact that the hook was on its mouth didn't faze it at all. In fact, its tone was playful as it was in the pond. It dropped on the deck and wanted some more play time!

Adrian yanked his catch out of the water and...it was yet another lotad. Huh. There had to be magikarp in this water. There was always magikarp. But maybe these lotad were super common or something?
"Hey Queenie, could you nip this lotad off the line again? Poliwag, you can come watch to see how she handles things."
<SIGH. I would like to rest and stop biting these foul creatures. But if I must lower myself to such menial things for the sake of one day becoming my true, royal self, then I will comply.> She buzzed over to the poliwag and tried to nip it off the line with a Bug Bite.
The freshly caught poliwag watched curiously and waddled closer.

The Combee begrudgingly bit the Lotad to get it off the hook once again, although this one was a different Lotad. The duo type landed on its little feet, and began flailing as it released some glowing green energy tendrils that sucked an extremely small amount of stamina from the Combee. Then, it began squealing about wanting to play as it walked in its stubby little feet. "I've never played on land before! Come play with me!" When the Poliwag waddled close and switched in, the Lotad got a little aggressive, blasting water from its mouth. "I want to play with the Combee! Not you! I play with Poliwag time to time already!" Sadly, the water went unaffected on the Poliwag's skin. Wild Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Lotad LV 17 HP 44% [20/45]

<Hey! Just because I'm a poliwag doesn't mean I don't wanna play too, y'know.> The poliwag grumped. It grew up in this pond and knew to be leery of lotads as they were part grass type and could just suck the life out of an unwitting tadpole. <Though honestly...I don't. Because you're rude. And boring. So there!> Huff. There wasn't much a lone little poliwag could DO to a Lotad except sulk at it. So that is what it did, staring hard as it splashed him with water. How refreshing?
Adrian pulled out his pokedex and realized that maybe this wouldn't go to well after all. Hm. Perhaps he should just try catching this one too? His lake at the ranch would probably be just as inviting of a home as this garden pond.
So he nodded to himself as he tried to toss a pokeball at the lotad and capture it.

"Yeah, yeah, but I already play with Poliwags a lot already, and I want to try playing with a new Pokemon!" The duo type also huffed, turning its head the other way. Now, the two little Pokemon looked like two teeange girls after a fight as they looked at the sky at a different direction with their angled head. However, the Poliwag didn't get to speak much anymore, not that it needed to, as Adrian hurled a Pokeball at it. It was sucked by a red light into the capture device. Then, the ball landed on the deck and did the typical wobble wobble. The sphere quickly ended with a resounding and congratulatory Ding! Now, the Lotad could have its wish of playing with other Pokemon that didn't live in the pond.
