”Bleeh-CHOO!”Daisy’s nose tickled. The grass was so tall around these parts, it brushed uncomfortably against her nostrils every time she moved forward on all fours through the yard. The result was a sneeze that was even bigger than she was. It rippled through the field around her, creating waves in the overgrowth. Perhaps it would have been easier to get from Point A to Point B if she’d chosen to simply walk through the grass instead, but Daisy had a bigger strategy at play here: if she wanted to find Pokémon, she had to think like a Pokémon, and that meant she had to move like a Pokémon. Hands and knees plopped down awkwardly one at a time, right-left-left-right rinse and repeat, as Daisy tried sniffing around for traces of wildlife. “You look stupid,” said Ratticus the Rattata as he observed his Trainer’s clunky movements through the grass. Daisy hastily shoved a cookie from her pocket into his mouth so he’d stop complaining. ”No time to talk, Ratticus! We’re on a mission!” Daisy said, crawling forward with a vengeance. She ignored the tiny rocks that poked her in the knees as she wobbled unevenly through the brush. Last time she’d visited Professor Elm, Daisy had heard the assistants talking about a new hot spring that was opening up to the northeast of town. The Professor had been interested to know if it would attract new kinds of Pokémon to the area. ‘Never fear! Professor Daisy is on the case!’ Daisy had told him before she’d dashed out the door without so much as a goodbye. So here she was, in the (probably) uncharted wilderness, the first explorer ever to come to the Johto Hot Springs and Spa. But so far, she hadn’t seen anything too out of the ordinary. She kept still for a bit, waiting for something to happen. Nothing jumped out at her and tried to attack, which was sort of disappointing. Still, it was a Professor’s duty to observe the world around them. Daisy sat back on her haunches, took out her pastel purple journal, and began to scribble down some notes.
Proffessor Daisy’s Log, Day 12:
There is ALOT of grass. Some of it is brown and some of it is green and some of it is yellow but all of it makes my nose itch. Also I stepped on six different rocks. Ratticus does not like it here but I gave him a cookie. I hope I find a wild Pokémon soon.
Satisfied with her thorough application of the scientific method, Daisy snapped her notebook shut, stuck it back in her pack, and started crawling forward again, determined to explore every nook and cranny of the dense grasslands. This, of course, led to another string of sneezes. ”Ah-choo! Ha-chooo! WAH-CHOO!”
OoC: Bringing just Ratticus and Wrigley on this adventure to see if I can get their levels up 😁 This could be a beautiful disaster 🥳

Daisy's apparent difficulties with the high grass of the backyard was not just a result of the grass itself, but the unhelpful presence of a blowing wind. It was very likely that spare pollen was making contact with the receptors inside her nose, making the sneezes more frequent and probably of a higher magnitude. However, our intrepid should still be commended for taking on a brand new place, unaware of what could be lurking in the high grasses. Fortunately, there was nothing actually dangerous in these grasslands. If there were super dangerous Pokemon here, Caitlin surely would have been able to drive them away, but it wasn't a concern nor priority. The sound of Daisy's sneezes carried on the wind and were eventually picked up by a large pair of purple ears that were sticking partly out of the grass. Shifting its weight, the small rodent Pokemon slowly followed the sound, not quite sure what to make of the sound itself. What creature sounded like that? Nothing he had ever heard before. If she looked up, she might see the ears slowly making their way towards her, just like a Sharpedo fin coming closer in the water. At least this Pokemon didn't have a mouth full of sharp teeth, just a small pair of buck teeth in the front. ![](https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemon/032.png) Level 2 wild Nidoran M is investigating your sneezing.

“Bleh. I feel like a Cubchoo,” Daisy remarked, stopping once again. She crossed her eyes in a futile attempt to see her own nose, which was starting to drip. She covered it with her hands to stop the leakage. “And I think some of that grass got in my mouth, too. How do you stand crawlin’ around like this all day?” she asked Ratticus, who seemed to have polished off all but the last bite of his cookie.
”I’m built for this sort of thing,” he said proudly, with just a hint of indignation at the very idea that a human could embody a Pokémon’s likeness simply by crawling around on the ground. ”But clearly you’re not, with your uneven limbs and your knobby knees and your—ack!”
Ratticus stopped just short of a full critique of his Trainer’s unsuitable physique, because Daisy abruptly grabbed him with both hands and clutched him to her chest. He dropped his remaining cookie.
“Don’t touch me after you’ve wiped your nose on your hands, you simpleton! That is disgusting!” he complained—but he froze when he sensed it, too.
A pair of pointy ears was inching its way toward them. Ratticus went stiff, pricking up his own ears to check for danger. His whiskers bristled.
”It’s happing! It’s happening! Holy guacamole on toast, my plan worked!” Daisy half-whispered, half-screamed through her teeth.
Two flat, white incisors gleamed in the midday sun as Daisy was met with the sight of the approaching Nidoran. ’A cool new Pokémon! I gotta catch it and show the Professor,’ she thought.
…Which meant it was time for a battle. Maybe the element of surprise would help. She jumped out of the grass and launched herself at her target.
”You were expecting a Pokémon, but it was ME, Daisy!” she proclaimed to the unsuspecting Nidoran. Then, she hurled Ratticus at it. He turned around and shot her a piercing glare.
”I’m already out of my Poké Ball! You don’t need to throw me!” he chided her.
Daisy did feel a little bit sorry for that. She looked up at the sky and rubbed her nose again.
”Whoops, I got too excited. Um, never mind! I’ll give you another cookie later! Ratticus, use Tackle two times! And use the Power of Friendship!” she said. ”That oughta be enough to get it in a Poké Ball!”
Ratticus didn’t know what the Power of Friendship was, but he at least knew how to Tackle. He went in at a run, thinking of delicious oatmeal raisin cookies.
OoC: Ratticus is sent into battle! Ratticus used Tackle x 2 (Running Shoes used.)

The wild Nidoran was young, like barely out of the egg young. Due to that fact, the little Pokemon had never seen a human being before and was very confused. Here was this small human, shuffling around in the high grass like a Pokemon, with a rat. And they were talking and squabbling with each other. What in the world was this all about? He tilted his head to the side and tried to understand and before he knew it, the rat was flung right at him! Fortunately for Ratticus he tucked himself into a ball and collided with the side of the purple rabbit, sending the Nidoran rolling through the grass. When he was ready to get up, the Pokemon stared at the Rattata real hard, trying to intimidate and scare him. It didn't seem to have much effect, though, because the trainer's Pokemon slammed into him AGAIN, making him squeal and whimper in pain. Why was he attacking so hard? Fortunately for the Nidoran, Ratticus's proximity allowed the baby to use a Poison sting, the Nidoran jabbing the rat in the chest with his little horn. The attack didn't seem to do much, though, and the wild Nidoran was shaking a bit now, more scared than anything else.

Ratticus seemed to be doing his job admirably. Yes, this was what a Tackle with the Power of Friendship looked like! Ratticus was so powered up, the wild Nidoran was absolutely shaking in its boots! Or…it would be, if Nidorans wore boots. Daisy stopped to ponder what the Nidoran would look like if it was wearing boots. What color would suit it? A classic, shiny black? An earthy brown? Or maybe a bright green would really pop. But he’d need twice the amount of boots, since he had twice the amount of feet— Daisy was lost in her head now. She pulled out her notebook again and started scribbling away as Ratticus went in for another Tackle. She didn’t even stop to look down and see if the attack had connected or not. ”Well?! Are you going to finish this or not…?” Ratticus asked, turning around to regard his trainer impatiently. But Daisy was determined to finish her drawing. She made a bold few final strokes and flipped the notebook around to show both Pokémon.
”Okay, what do you think? Definitely green boots, right…? I…ah…ah…HAH-CHOO!”While Daisy’s attention was taken by another fit of sneezes, Ratticus turned towards his puny foe. “If it’s any consolation, I don’t know what she’s talking about, either,” he said to Nidoran with a shrug. Daisy wiped her nose on her sleeve and stuck her arm into her pack, fishing around for a Poké Ball. She came up with one of the weird souvenir ones she’d won at the festival lottery. Good enough, she decided. ”Okay, now I twist the top thingy like this and throw it like this, right?! Power of Friendship Poké Ball, go! Make this little purple guy my friend!” she said, chanting her newly-coined incantation so loudly that the people soaking in the nearby springs could probably hear her. OoC: Daisy uses a Hisui Poké Ball!

Nidoran blinked at the rat, not sure how to respond. Wasn't this Pokemon the human's partner? How did he not know what was happening or why the human was doing what she was doing? And what were those sounds? When she sneezed again, the purple rabbit's ears twitched, his sensitive ears picking up the sounds and actually making him cringe slightly, because he was so much closer. While sneezing didn't really register all that high in decibels, for a Pokemon like him it was much louder. The stunned Nidoran now had his guard down and Daisy picked the best moment to take the funny looking capsule out of her bag, twist the lever and throw it. Nidoran's eyes went wide as the ball bounced off his forehead, before he was absorbed by the white light. The ball landed lightly in the tall grass and did the bobbing and shaking, before the latched hissed and the capture was complete. Nidoran was now her new friend! Yay friendship!

Daisy jumped up and cheered as the weird wooden Poké Ball clicked shut. “Yes! Friendship powers fully activated! Aah-choo!”
Nidoran MName: Spot Gender: Male Level: 2 OT: Daisy Gambino Moves: Poison Sting, Leer Ability: Poison Point Nature/Personality: Naive. Basically a spiky purple baby. Having spent all of his thus far very short existence in a field of tall grass, Spot is not familiar with such concepts as humans, battles, weather, money, houses, or electronics of any kind. He’s just going to stare blankly at everything until he figures it out.
Daisy looked down at Ratticus almost expectantly as Nidoran’s Poké Ball was spirited away by magical ghosts to her PC (or however that was supposed to work. Detective Daisy would solve that mystery at a later date). ”That was a victory sneeze. Do you wanna do one, too?” she asked him. Ratticus scoffed. ”No. It’s obnoxious. Your mother sent you tissues for a reason, you know,” he said. He climbed into Daisy’s backpack and emerged with a plastic packet of tissues in his mouth. Daisy took it and blew her nose. ”Fanks,” Daisy told him through a face full of tissue. She stuffed the leftovers in her pocket. ”You’re a good rat. Even if you smell weird sometimes.””Tch,”Ratticus said, clearly embarrassed as he scratched his face with his back paw and looked away. ”Just making sure you keep your germs to yourself. I don’t want to catch…Human Pox…or anything like that.”Daisy didn’t quite respond to this, because she was already absorbed in her notes again:
It is about lunch time and I catalogged one (1) Pokémon so far. The boy Nidoran has a horn on its head that’s full of poison stuff. It does not fight that good, though. I do however think it looks good in green boots. Ratticus got me some tissues because the grass is still messing with my nose. I wonder why the Pokémon around here aren’t sneezing. That would make them easier to find.
Scratching her right cheek with her eraser, Daisy pulled out another Poké Ball. ”Okay, now it’s someone else’s turn to help. Come forth, my mighty spiked demon monster!”She released Wrigley the Wurmple from his Poké Ball. He raised up his head, bright-eyed and eager. He sniffed at the grass. The wrinkles on his back and the spike on his head stood alert in anticipation. ”Oh, goodness me, how entirely splendid! Is this what they call a…a ‘field’ trip? Look at all this foliage—it’s marvelous!” the little bug Pokemon exclaimed. Daisy didn’t really understand him, but she could at least get a sense for his fascination with the surroundings. ”I got a scouting mission for you, Lieutenant Wrigley! Go check out what’s around here and tell me if you find anything good! We got catalog this area. For science—and for justice!”Wrigley nodded. ”A solo expedition, you say? Well, I shall try not to disappoint!” he said. He wiggled off into the tall grass beyond to see what he could find there. His hope was always that there would be berries or herbs, but he stayed alert—as a Pokémon himself, he knew better than anyone what could lurk in tall grass. As long as it wasn’t a hungry Swellow or a Pidgeotto, he told himself, he’d probably be okay. … Probably. OoC: Thanks for updating my PC! I will keep party as is. Wrigley is sent out to investigate the area! +400 to egg (1863/2000)

Peace and tranquility returned to the grassland as the battle ended. The wild Pokemon had been captured and the trainer's Rattata seemed to relax a little bit and come down off of fight or flight mode. After all, rodent Pokemon are prey to many other Pokemon and they must remain ever vigilant. Bringing forth Wrigley was actually a really good idea. Since the bug was smaller than Daisy, it was easier for him to wriggle around lower in the tall grass, where Pokemon would be hiding. If he discovered something that was a threat or a problem, alerting his trainer would be easier. He hadn't gotten very far when a small black nose pushed its way through the grass and poked him in the tummy. <Hi!> the nose seemed to say, before Wrigley would see that the nose was connected to a fuzzy body with a stripe pattern on it. It seems like the recon mission had gone exactly as planned, but what mattered now was if a battle would ensue. ![](https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemon/263.png) Level 6 Wild Zigzagoon appeared, what will Daisy or Wrigley do?

”Oh, splendid. A discovery. Er, but I do beg your pardon. I’ve got to alert the boss, I suppose,” Wrigley said, first to himself and then to the wild Zigzagoon. He was sure Daisy would be pleased with this discovery. He popped his little head out of the grass and spewed a bit of gooey string to get Daisy’s attention. It flared up into the air like a sticky little firework. Seeing this, Daisy snapped her notebook shut. ”Gasp! It’s the signal!” Daisy said excitedly, springing to her feet. Running up to where Wrigley was and leaving Ratticus behind to nap in the meadow, Daisy spied a tuft of spiky fur. Parting the grass in front of her, she looked down to spy on the creature it belonged to. It was sort of like a Patrat, she thought; the kind her neighbor had back home—but it was longer, fluffier, and more jagged. More wild-looking, which Daisy liked. She observed the Pokémon’s movements for a moment, and then she was struck with a bolt of inspiration. ”Great discovery, Lieutenant Wrigley! Five points for you! I’m gonna sketch the best picture of this zigzaggy thing you ever saw!”While Wrigley was left to wonder what the points were redeemable for, Daisy once again took up her gel pens and colored pencils to craft a masterpiece. Daisy showed it to the Zigzagoon. ”What do you think? You wanna be my friend, too?” she asked. ”Don’t worry, I know the rules! We gotta duke it out first to see if I’m awesome enough. So let’s get down to it! Wrigley, use Tackle!” she said. “Aye aye, Captain!” Wrigley said, charging ahead. ”And then we throw the Poké Ball,” Daisy said to herself as Wrigley got to work. She shoved her notebook under her armpit, reached back into her bag, and managed to grab a normal Poké Ball this time. She closed one eye and touched the tip of her tongue to her upper lip as she tried to concentrate to aim just the right way, then let loose the Poké Ball full of hopes, dreams, and friendship.
OoC: Wrigley used Tackle! Daisy used a Poké Ball! 363 words to egg, that’s 2226/2000 🥳

<Yay play!> the raccoon like Pokemon hollered as Wrigley charged at it. Digging his paws into the grass, the furry Pokemon sped forward and since it was just a tad faster than Wrigley, it ended up leading the collision between the two Pokemon, doing slightly more damage. A little wobbly after contact, the Zigzagoon staggered back a few steps when the poke ball was thrown, hitting the normal type in the side. Absorbed inside, the Zigzagoon was fighting but apparently was just tired enough that the poke ball was too much. The capsule binged and that was it, another new friend for Daisy and her party! Just like before, the capsule shimmered before it disappeared, the capture registering in Daisy's poke dex and her computer system. At that moment her egg started to shake, spider-web cracks appearing in the calcium shell. After a few seconds of that, the egg would split apart and her brand new Voltorb looked around. If that wasn't enough, Wrigley seemed to have a slightly different energy to him.....as if he was ready for a change also....

Daisy put her hands on her hips as her second capture of the day disappeared into her PC box. She nodded. Everything was going according to keikaku. She picked up her Pokédex and checked the newly registered info for Zigzagoon, taken in for a moment by the alluring glow of the magical screen. It was almost as cool as having her own phone. ( Almost.) “Wow, we’re doing a lot of work today, huh, Wrigley? I wonder if you can unlock achievements on this thing.”She absently pressed a few buttons, flipping back and forth between a page of stats and a page of moves, just for the fun of it. But she froze a little when Wrigley didn’t respond. ”Uh, Wrigley…?”She looked down to find that he was undergoing a metamorphosis. A bit weird that Wrigley hadn’t shouted out a transformation catchphrase or anything first—but it was still fascinating to watch. The Professor had told Daisy that this would happen if she took good care of Wrigley, but it was surprising nonetheless. There were some things in life you just needed to see yourself firsthand to understand, Daisy realized. The glow of evolution faded away, leaving a fresh Silcoon in its wake. ”Oh, my word. I feel different somehow,”Wrigley remarked. ”You look different. But you sound like the same bumbling insect you’ve always been,” Ratticus said, pretending not to be impressed. ”Listen up, Wrigley! You trained hard and acquired an awesome new form! But with great power comes great responsibility—now you gotta work twice as much to help me fight bad guys!” Daisy exclaimed. She picked up Wrigley and held him up over her head towards the sky. (The spring breeze was exceedingly pleasant, Wrigley thought. He liked being up in the air. Perhaps he’d find a way to stay there, someday.) Ratticus chuckled and looked off to the side. ”Sounds like a hassle to me. I’d rather stay the way I am.”
They stopped off to eat Daisy’s brown bag lunch near a towering pile of rocks. She wrote about it in her journal:
I discovered a mountain next to the hot springs. It has a lot of rocks that are not very interesting to look at but maybe there is a cool secret under them like a peace of gold or a hobo. I will ask about it later.
She was about to feed a piece of popcorn to Wrigley—if she could just figure out where his mouth was now—when something else amazing happened. The egg she’d been carrying for so long started to hatch. The shell fell away, and the red and white ball of mysteries finally gave way to…another red and white ball of mysteries, apparently. There was a series of mechanical whirs and beeps, like someone firing up a P.C. 0640 KB OK
Starting Voltorb…
HIMEM is testing extended memory...done.
C:\>C:\PKMN\VOLTORB.EXE /X
C:\> A Voltorb stared blankly up at Daisy, seemingly expecting her to do…something. ”Woah, it hatched!” Daisy screamed, forgetting about her half-eaten pear and near-empty juice box. ”Come say hello, you guys!” she urged Wrigley and Ratticus, who crept careful closer to the strange new hatchling. The Voltorb didn’t move. Daisy waved her hand in front of its face. ”HELLO?! Are you alive now?” she asked it. C:\>hello Bad command or file name
C:\>are you alive now Bad command or file name
The machine learning intrinsic to all mechanical Pokémon hadn’t fully kicked in yet, but in whatever thing resembling a consciousness it had, the Voltorb realized two things: 1. This smallish humanoid creature who was shouting invalid commands at it was the end user. 2. She had no idea what she was doing, and was in need of an operations manual. It rolled away at top speed towards the pile of rocks to locate one. Daisy panicked. Her picnic lunch forgotten, she ran after it into the Quarry. ”HEEEY! STOP THAT! Runaway Pokémon!” Daisy exclaimed, scrambling to stop her hatchling from rolling into trouble. But it was hard to keep up with something that was basically wheel-shaped when you only had two feet.

It didn't take much for Gizmo to pick up speed and very quickly, the young Voltorb was not rolling over grass anymore as the surface transitioned into sand, and then eventually into gravel and rock. When Daisy finally caught up, she would probably look around in wonder at the area in which she found herself. The slope of the area naturally led down, which now had the Voltorb careening in that direction. Accidently, the Voltorb had rolled right through the side of the backyard and had ended up in the old rock quarry, a completely different area with much different Pokemon around. Gizmo's forward motion was finally stopped when it rolled right into a small boulder, but instead of being a true rock, the boulder soon turned around and cracked its knuckles, ready to pummel the baby for smacking into it, even if no damage was caused.

The way forward was obstructed by a mineral life form. The newborn Voltorb searched its databases for a solution to this quandary, but the Voltorb Operating System quickly returned an error message: It stopped to await further input, which gave Daisy time to catch up—sort of. Just before she could close the gap between herself and her runaway baby Pokémon, Daisy slipped on a rock and hit the dirt, landing flat on her stomach. Her right arm, slightly scraped from falling on the ground, twitched dramatically as she groped around for her Pokémon, only to come up with nothing. ”Could this be the end of Professor Daisy’s adventures…? No! Don’t give up, Professor Daisy! Get back on your—ouch,” she remarked, finding that her knees were scraped too. Ratticus came scampering up, with Wrigley bouncing along behind. Wrigley screeched to a halt at the sight of the Voltorb facing off against the wild Geodude and gasped. ”Good heavens, the little scamp does seem to be in over its head, doesn’t it?” he said. ”And the boss looks to be out of commission as well. Oh dear, such a conundrum.”Ratticus sneered. ”Pathetic whiners, all of you. Let me handle this,” he said. He threw himself in between Voltorb and the Geodude. ”And you—you’re the worst of them all. Picking on a newborn. Now you’ll have to answer to me,” he said. He rushed in with a Quick Attack to defend the innocent. Meanwhile, Daisy finally got to her feet. ”Be careful, Ratticus! That thing looks like a large boulder the size of a small boulder,” she said. She wobbled in to scoop up the Voltorb from behind. ”And as for you, ya little gizmo—oh, that’s a good name. I’ll call you Gizmo from now on. But stay outta trouble or you’re gonna get creamed!” she added. Responding to this new information, the Voltorb created a new directory and file for itself. C:\>mkdir C:\Gizmo
C:\Gizmo> echo. > Gizmo\name.txt
C:\Gizmo>edit name.txt
…And with that, Gizmo began inscribing new memories. OoC: Gizmo starts the battle, but is recalled. Ratticus switches in and uses Quick Attack!

The wild Geodude was fully prepared to go Voltorb bowling and was just about to grab the youngster when the purple rat jumped in between them, startling the rock type. Rather than answer with words, the wild boulder Pokemon simply grunted. Ratticus, as if trying to prove a point, slammed into the Geodude with a quick attack. However, the wild Pokemon was barely phased. The strike did very minimal damage and the only thing that happened to the Geodude was a small rock chip that popped off. Geodude cracked its knuckles, before giving Ratticus a cheeky grin. <That didn’t hurt> it said, before it tucked itself into a ball. Spinning in place for a second, the Geodude dug out a small hole in the rock face before launching forward, hitting Ratticus with a one round roll out attack. Making contact, Ratticus flew back a healthy amount before landing hard on his back. To his credit, the rat got back up quickly, but you could tell that this battle was not going in the favor right now.

Ratticus winced in pain—not only from being on the business end of the wild Geodude’s Rollout, but also because smacking against a literal living boulder with Quick Attack wasn’t exactly pleasant either. His legs wobbled under him, even after he regained his footing. But he didn’t waver in his determination to rescue the innocent baby Voltorb. He looked back towards Gizmo to make sure it was safe.
What he found instead was Daisy, who had unceremoniously stuffed Gizmo into a nice, warm Poké Ball. She was glowering for some reason.
”Ratticus, you big dumb idiot! Why would you pick a fight with that thing if it’s that much stronger than you?!” Daisy admonished—but the worry in her voice was apparent.
”Tch. Fool of a human. You’re the one always going on about defending the weak.”
He returned his angry glare to his foe and wiggled his rear, prepping for another attack. But Daisy grabbed Ratticus by the tail before he could pounce, dangling him off the ground. His stubby arms and legs wiggled in the air as he tried to get away from his Trainer in vain.
”I don’t think so, mister! Let a pro handle this!” Daisy said. She reached back into her bag and grabbed a Great Ball.
”Feast your eyes! My ultimate weapon designed to ward off evil! Prepare to be contained, you Warrior of Darkness!”
She lobbed the Great ball at Geodude and held her breath.
OoC: Daisy used a Great Ball! Steph crossed her fingers and screamed! 😂 Also, no worries on the timeline—I was out of the country until recently anyway 👍
