Silas wasn't one to exactly participate in casual recreation like riding a bike around a park. But he had never exactly, well...learned HOW to ride a bike. So if he was going to use this for grand escapes and transport, he needed to learn how to ride. Which might be easier said than done when you were his age. Thirty wasn't old by any means, but when it came to learning how not to fall off a contraption on two narrow wheels, being younger miiiight have helped. At least you can never forget once you learn...right?
Thus, after ascertaining that nobody else was around to notice his blundering around, he used a bench to try to get on top of the bike and to push himself forward. He wobbled for a bit and caught himself as he suddenly pitched sideways.
Silas swore.
Nope.
Not right.
Time to try again.
He heaved back onto the bike at the bench and, oh, okay. He was on the bike, wibbly and wobbling aaaaaaand careening riiiight into a tall patch of grass. Silas tried to break, but unfortunately, he was pitched into the tall grasses when the front wheel got caught by an especially opinionated clump of tangled weeds.

Silas spat out grass as he tried to right himself on his hands and knees. A stray lead stuck out of his golden locks and a petulant frown carved its path on his features. Annoyed. He was...quite annoyed. Annoyed with this whole learning to ride a bike thing. Annoyed by the fact that he had to continue lowering himself to the level of normal people. Annoyed by the grass that had the audacity to tangle in his wheels.
He blew his bangs from his face and stood, now submerged completely in this tall grass and unable to see his bike. He would need to find the darn thing. Reaching around in the direction he flew, he started to push the grass aside, only to be confronted by...a paras? A very aggressive paras that started swiping at his ankles like an annoying yamper that thought it was a guard dog.
He instinctively covered his mouth with a hankerchief, not wanting to breathe in any spores, before sending out Aqua.
"Use bite. But do not knock it out. This thing could prove useful," he said, taking a great ball from a pocket and throwing it. Now that he was in Goldenrod, he could stay stocked on half decent pokeballs now.

Aqua warily lunged forth and bit the paras.
The mushroom thrashed in alarm, but could not seem to get its claws anywhere near Aqua's vulnerable spots. So it did what any good mushroom would do. It sprayed spores. EVERYWHERE. The noxious powder blasted from the paras like a loud and flooded his mouth and nostrils with pollen. But instead of feeling sick or his every muscle tensing, he felt so very, very sleepy. He staggered and swayed, letting go of the paras before slumping to the ground, asleep.
In that moment of distraction, Silas threw a ball at the paras, and in one throw, the bug was caught. Easy.
Violet eyes were cold as they fell back upon Aqua. Still as unimpressive as ever. But at least helping rather than hindering. Now...time to find his bike. He returned the wartortle to his ball and tugged at the knotted grass some more.
After a moment of struggle, he sent out his chingling in frustration, "Scout. Find my bike and pull it from the grass with your psychic powers. Now."
The little chingling obeyed, surveying the grasses for shiny metal.

Scout floated above the grasses, looking for the bike, when it found a rustling patch. Floating down with a jingle, it spotted a rabbit. A fluffy, bouncing bunny. It jingled again. Wanna play? The buneary seemed to be intrigued at first, following after the chingling and a moment later, Silas push apart the grass to spot them.
"That is not my bike," he deadpanned.
Scout shivered.
Silas pulled out a pokeball and tossed it high above him, revealing a fearow. "Ace. This pokemon could be useful. It is one of those 'cute' pokemon that people fawn all over. Perhaps it would be wise to catch it and attempt to sell it to someone. Take it down with a false swipe, and be careful to not knock it out."
The fearow obeyed his command with a caw, moving lightning quick to try to slice the bunneary's fluffy form.

"If you know what's good for you, little rabbit, you will stay in a pokeball," Silas said in his...eerie, unsettling manner. Where he didn't especially care if he came across as charming of likable. Nobody was here that he cared to acknowledge as worth his time and effort to put up a front, and the fearow didn't especially care about his attitude. The bird was ornery. Useful, but ornery. "Ace, another false swipe."
He readied a pokeball as Ace swooped down towards the bunneary and those big, babydoll eyes it kept trying to use to plead for mercy. It would find no mercy here. They were on a mission and dawdling too long on a rabbit was foolish. But this detour was looking brief, so he would tolerate it for now. Especially if the bunneary had the good sense to obey his warning and stay in the pokeball once he threw it.

The bunneary's cute little face scrunched up with irritation and anger and as soon as Silas threw the ball, it smacked it back at Silas' face with a bunny kick of doom. He caught it and scowled at the broken remains of the capsule. "I will be catching you today," he said in a firm tone. "Best you stop resisting so foolishly."
It looked like it was barely holding on after Ace's last strike. The keen eyed bird struck keen and true across the bunneary's midsection, ignoring those big eyes in favor of damage. The bird was already proving useful as a companion, even if he only brought it along to catch things. His other pokemon were either too weak or too strong for this hunt and the false swiping fearow was perfect.
Silas tossed away the scraps of pokeball and took out a handful of fresh capsules. He was prepared to throw them one after another until the rabbit stayed inside.

The foolish little bunny decided to stay in the ball when another smacked it in the face. He picked up the capsule with a scoff. "That's right. You should have figured out how to behave yourself sooner and saved us the time and trouble." He pocketed the ball. "Scout! Find that bike."
The chingling jingled and jolted up high again, searching for that bike that Silas JUST got. Come now, how hard could it be? Returning Ace, because that fearow was too close and too big, and had thus far been useful, unlike Scout. So he needed the chingling to do. it's. job.
Maybe when it evolved it would get a clue. That's what the soothe bell around its nonexistent neck was for. Boosting friendship or whatever.
He pinched his nasal bridge and prayed that he would get out of these weeds and find his objective sooner than later.
While in a bit of a Rocket work slump, he might as well grab some rare pokemon. Especially when he needed to...bolster the strength of his team. Some of his caught pokemon were lagging and not keeping up and he wanted to resolve that little problem before it got out of hand.

Scout jingled, having spotted something. Silas followed and found...
A bug.
"A common venonat. What is it doing?" Said venonat was scurrying around, picking up yellow flowers and shiny things off the ground. Upon spotting Chingling, it got excited!
<Gold!> it cried out. <Come here. I need you. I need the shiny gold thing.>
<I'm not made of gold> Scout protested as the venonat chased it.
<Yes you are! I need you! I need you so I can give the shiny gold to the humans for the snacky boxes.>
<You want to trade me for cornchips?!>
<Yes!> Venonat bounced and reached up again. Silas, not understanding a word of the exchange, and watching Scout be an absolute coward, sighed and pointed Ace in their direction.
"False swipe. We can sell this one too." Scout let out a cry before swooping down and trying to strike the venonat with sharp talons. — Word Count: 000 | OOC:On the hunt for the elusive Flebebe. Bike ON. Chingling (w/ soothe bell) + Fearow uses False Swipe
