Raiden kicked the sand. It's coarse and gets everywhere. Terrible sand. However, a certain little scorpion was sunbathing nearby and stirred. Who's there? Who are you? WHAT are you?

NOTES - he has given up, but also thrown a ball It seemed in the midst of his small bit of frustration he had managed to actually find yet another pokemon, one that he had managed to actually knock out of its perfectly good nap. The pokemon seemed to be a skorupi, one that he actually knew about though he did pull out his pokedex just for a quick scan since he had been asked to do that anyway. Skorupi would be nice to have on hand just in case even though he already had a poison type on his team. Perhaps something he could find a good home for someone else then?
Since his luck had already been terrible he didn't hold this one in his heart, more that he was ready should it run. "Well, nothing worse can happen that hasn't already." he said before grabbing another ball from his bag and tossing it at the poison type seeing if it would actually stay in the ball.

The fates had mercy on you. Skorupi decided it didn't mind being in the ball. Kinda cozy in here. Maybe it could continue its nap.

NOTES - he is in complete shock, new encounter Perhaps there was a god that was listening, because as much as Raiden expected the ball to break or to not hit the pokemon at all, it seemed that there were a few rocks before it simply stayed still. Was that the secret? Was he supposed to wait for pokemon that was napping and do it then? Was that the secret of actually getting pokemon to stay in the ball? The hooligan stayed still for a long moment after watching the ball stop moving, even as the sand kicked up slightly.
He was almost hesitant to move to it but eventually, he moved forward to slowly pick up the pokemon. Turning the ball in his hands a few times he carefully put it away. Well, that was one successful catch at least, which meant his hope was slightly restored that this wouldn't be a complete waste of a trip. Keeping his eyes peeled for another sleeping pokemon he continued on the path looking for a new pokemon.

NOTES - oh hello sir, using a ball Raiden didn't have to go long before he paused in his steps as a torkaol came sliding down a dune. He almost looked like he was surfing on the sand and that was something that Raiden actually found interesting. The hooligan wondered if he would actually be a good part of his party for when he had to deal with a lot of grass types or even steel. Raiden wasn't quite sure if he could use the pokemon but he didn't want to continue without trying at least.
"That was actually kinda badass." he said with a smirk as he moved to grab a ball from his bag. "I'd be more than happy if you taught me how to do that." he would love to learn how to sand surf. That was something that he didn't think he needed but he definitely wanted to learn now that he saw him do that. This time he tossed the ball at the creature hoping that it would stay inside the ball.

NOTES - tossing a rock He really should have known that it wouldn't have been that easy. Especially when the Torkoal avoided the ball that he threw at it, completely missing him. Even when the trainer tried to grab the ball it was quickly whipped away by the sands that were ever moving. So much for that ball, and he could almost swear that the Torkoal was amused by him losing it. If he was going to be like that then Raiden didn't even feel bad when his hand found one of the rocks he had been given and he pulled it out to toss it at the torkoal.
Maybe if he had dodged the ball then he would be a little less stubborn if a rock or two was bonked on his head. Raiden didn't normally like throwing rocks at pokemon but that was the only option he had since he couldn't use pokemon to battle. Maybe this next attempt wouldn't be as bad. [googlefont=Karla]

NOTES - tossing a ball Well that didn't seem to go horribly wrong, but that didn't mean anything for what happened after. Even after the rock hit the fire type pokemon it didn't run away, but it didn't seem really happy with the fact he had hit it with a rock either. Maybe it would stay in the ball if it was a bit injured from the rock? He would make sure that he got the pokemon looked at after he was done in here if that was the case. There wasn't like he had another choice either when this was what he had been told to do.
"Alright buddy, stay in the ball won't you?" as if reasoning with the pokemon would do anything. He was sure that they understood at least somewhat, but there was also the understanding that they probably didn't understand everything. Grabbing a new ball he quickly tossed it at the fire pokemon hoping that maybe he would have better luck this time and it would stay in the ball, or things could get worse and he would have to deal with the consequences afterward.

NOTES - new encounter Well, it really wasn't that surprising, his luck seemed to hit its limit and it was not something he really wanted to push. For now, it meant that he could only watch as the ball didn't even rock a few times, it did not hold the fire type, and after it broke out of the ball once more the sand seemed to move to try and cover whatever was left of it. Raiden was in no hurry to track the ball down since it had been one given to him anyway. What he should have expected was the pokemon seemed to be done with his games.
It gave him one last look before it seemed to all but surf on the sands the way it had come. The pokemon was gone before Raiden could even attempt to give chase. Well, that was yet another one that he wouldn't have any option of catching though he isn't met with as much heartache as the loss of Trapinch. It all feels almost numb now, though he did have one pokemon to claim from this excursion so that was good at least. He let out a small sigh as he continued once more wondering what the desert would show him now.

NOTES - using ball He hadn't gotten too far, though traveling in the desert was something that he generally could get used to again. Raiden had in the deepest part of his heart actually missed the scorching sands that whipped at his hair and face. The sands were unforgiving to new travelers but greeted old ones like a friend. If someone knew how to navigate the desert it wasn't so treacherous, Raiden was thankful that he was one of those. Granted he didn't think he would actually get lost out here since it only went so far, this was still a preserve or whatever it was that they had tried to tell him.
Raiden however didn't notice the small creature until it had grabbed onto his shoe. At first, he didn't notice the pull until he felt something suddenly dragging him. His eyes immediately went down and was surprised to see a trapinch, it didn't seem to be the same one that he had found earlier but maybe Arceus was actually looking out for him. The pokemon would make a great addition to his team if he could actually catch it this time. With it securely chomping on his shoe feeding it was probably not the best idea. Maybe at the very least, he could try to catch it to free his leg from its strong grip.
Quickly feeling for a ball he fished it out before he let it drop on the small but strong pokemon. Maybe this time he would actually get lucky and be able to catch the pokemon. If not he could always try again, or at least until it tried to run, but he hoped that wouldn't be the case this time. [googlefont=Karla]
