It had been a while since leaving New Bark Town. Amidst a number of minor events that had gone on, things had progressed well enough. The wind kicked rather hard, coursing through the trees and feeling almost like they were pushing Vartio forwards. Word had reached him of a yearly competition for hunting bug type pokemon, and he wished to see if any new species existed he had never seen before. So in the course of this, he decided he'd try to make things quicker in his journey towards Violet city.
Susan squeaked in excitement, feeling the thrill of journey after so long. She was squeaking for action, even if she knew she wouldn't be accomplishing much in battle, long having learned her place a year prior. She leaped off Vartio's shoulder and ran ahead, scouting for anything to help her trainer, using her big ears and amazing smell to search for anything for Vartio.
(Note: Personally would like if, if I roll an uncommon encounter, I may encounter Combee)

Varito pushed onwards hoping to make it in time for the contest. As he passed the outskirts of Cherry Grove he could hear buzzing coming from the trees around him. All of a sudden a Scyther jumps out of the bushes being chased by a vespiqueen and 2 Combee. As the trio chased the Scyther away a hive landed a Varitos feet. Before Varito could do anything a low buzzing started coming from the hive out from the hive came a single Combee. Looking around it noticed that it was not in its tree. Spotting varito it began to let out a bunch of buzzing. As it had identified that Varito must have been the one to knock down its home. The buzzing only got louder when Combee noticed Susan by his side it seems conflict is inevitable. Shiny? KYiQDRjLp_1-42A Level 6 Combee has come to protect its hive what will you do? OOC Just a heads up you are not able to request pokemon but you got lucky that this be the one I rolled lol 1-42

============================================================= Susan squeaked, smelling something quite sweet in the distance. Getting distracted the adorable rodent rushed on off, with Vartio letting out a sigh with a gentle smile. "Ah, Silly Susan, seems she's found something again..." he stated softly as he followed after the Rat pokemon. It wasn't long before she stopped again, getting on her hind legs and pointing her nose to the sky, sniffing things out, allowing him to catch up. It was then that the Scyther darted by. Vartio had never seen one for himself, but was quite familiar with the Pokemon by his time learning in school. Kids always were so excited to speak about the Pokemon, which was quite popular despite being deadly. For Vartio though this caused him to take a step back, a subconscious habit after an incident involving the blade-like claws of a Sneasel lead to Vartio being defensive around long bladed pokemon parts. But as it darted away into the brush off to the side, he noticed another set of Pokemon, a Vespiqueen and Combee! Now the latter he was familiar with due to a major nest being close to his hometown, seeing the smaller of the two was actually quite nostalgic. But even they left... but not before a hive fell at his feet. "Oh Snubbull." Vartio muttered out loud as another Combee came fluttering out of the hive. "Okay then, Susan get back on my shoulder." Vartio ordered, Susan gladly squeaking rapidly to a point it almost sounded like a terrified squeaky Spoink, rushing up his leg and onto his shoulder where she knew he'd protect him. Reaching down, Vartio grabbed a pokeball from his belt. "Harry, let's go."He tossed out the Pokeball, calling forth a noticeably round pokemon, which let out a yawn, a Sandstorm kicking up in the process around the area. "Hiiiip! Potas!! [Huhhh... Hi there.]""And let's use Bite! And don't let up just yet!"
================ Vartio has engaged Combee! Vartio has called out Harry (Hippopotas)! A Sandstorm has kicked up! (Sand Stream) Harry will use Bite twice (Running Shoes) (Updating Info) HippopotasName: Harry Gender: Male Level: 5 OT: Vartio Artel Attacks: Tackle, Sand Attack, Bite Ability: Sand Stream Nature/Personality: Harry just wants to relax. Laziest of the bunch, he only battles because it means he stops being annoyed faster and the enemies stop hitting him. Seriously dislikes Vartio, but understands he's the best ever, so of course he was let into battle.

The curious combee, now without a hive, looked around, searching for its queen. Its gaze landed on a weird, portly creature that seemed to exude literal sand from every pore. Its wings vibrated in irritation, coughing as sand caught in its sensitive scales and eyes. It buzzed and hummed and thrashed around a bit to try to clear its vision of that awful debris. How would it find its queen like THIS! <What...are you doing?> the combee challenged in response to the idle greeting. Writhing a bit in a flimsy fight against the storm, the little combee tried to slam some sense into Harry. <Quit it! Quit making all this sand!> And then Harry BIT the combee. Aaaaahhhh! This is why it hated being away from its hive. Awful, awful pokemon wanting to fight for no reason. Knocking down hives and being a nuisance. It tried to make the creature release its jaws by flooded its mouth with a sickly sweet scent that would addle the mind but Harry just...bit down harder. <Lemme goooooo!> Wild Encounter Weather: Sandstorm (2/5) [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Wild Combee LV 6 HP 33% [7/21]

Vartio was not in a mood to play today. He knew he was on a timer in multiple forms, and the sooner he ended this the better. Watching the Combee get attacked hurt a bit, it was innocent, a victim of the circumstances, but right now it was a threat and he had to deal with it.
Susan watched Vartio, she rarely saw him drop all pretense and take things seriously like this, it was usually only when he was harmed. That he was feeling so stressed as to go all out like this had her worried he might be overworking himself, not that he ever NOT overworked his mind.
"Turn it this way, Harry, and squeeze it just a bit more with Bite." Vartio called out, the Hippopotas grunting as it turned slowly, unable to speak as it was holding the Combee in its mouth, confused, it attempts to clamp down its teeth once more.. It tasted weird, and that was excluding the tint of honey from the hive that agitated its tongue.
Vartio took out a Pokeball, lightly bouncing it on his palm before pulling his hand back, throwing it right at the Combee and bonking it in the face with the capture button of the Pokeball.
"Nothing personal, but this hurts you less, and gets me closer to any goals I may have." Vartio said as he closed his eyes, praying that this would go well.
============================
Vartio ordered Harry to bite Vartio tossed a Pokeball to capture the Combee regardless of bite results!

Combee buzzed and attempted to struggle with all its might, shaking its body in an attempt to escape the everpresent maws that now threatened to crush it. But it wouldn't go down, not without a fight! It had to protect the hive at all costs! <Leaaaave me alooone!> it cried out in desperation, barely moving itself it opened its mouth and lurched forwards in an attempt to bite down onto the Hippopotas' tongue that flopped about lazily underneath it in a desperate attempt to get free of the large pokemon that held it captive. Pain shot through Harry, who loosened his bite ever so slightly, but even that could not save the poor Combee from the crushing teeth that now pushed into the poor thing. A frantic squee-like noise came as the pain got even worse, before it lost consciousness in the Hippopotas' mouth. Vartio felt bad when he tossed the Ball, that would bonk into the Combee's unconscious head. The Tiny Bee pokemon turned into a mass of aura that would curl into the ball, which fell onto the ground before it began shaking fruitlessly in defiance of its capture. After a short three shakes, the ball would come to a rest, the device clicking closed as a gentle sound fit the air, the Pokemon within captured within the ball. Harry would let out a yawn, the Sand storm - and the sand itself for the most part - disappearing. [ "I did the thing, can I rest now?" it called out with multiple sounds towards Vartio, who simply pat Harry on the head, resulting in the pokemon clumsily just splooting onto the ground and entering a rest of its own. Vartio picked up the Pokeball, Susan popping out of the coat pocket she had entered secretly after the Sandstorm whipped up with thoughts of not wanting to get grains in her fur. Running down his arm, she sat on his lower arm before patting the ball, as if consoling the poor Bee that had inconveniently gotten in Vartio's way. "I'll make it up to this little one later, for now, we got places to be. Let's get going Susan, next up should be a place called Violet City."Putting the ball away into his trusty backpack, he lifted Harry's Pokeball and started the recall function, bringing the Hippo pokemon back. With excited squeaks as she ran back up her Trainer's arm and onto his shoulder, Susan looked forwards to their next adventure. ============================================ Wild Encounter Weather: Sandstorm (3/5) [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Wild Combee LV 6 HP 0% [0/21]

The author scratched her head as she wondered what else there was to show to the reader. The backstory of the combee had been told, its view on the outside world, the quick battle and the capture, what else was left? She tapped her chin then stood up from her writing pult to walk up and down the room a bit, sometimes you thought better when you were walking. She got distracted shortly when she teased her pets by making some funny tapping sounds, which made them look at her confused, but then she returned to the matter at hand with a frown. Raising a finger into the air she smiled, "Oh! I know!"A loud buzzing sound reached Vartio and his pokemon, it came from the direction from where the Vespiqueen and her minions had disappeared to. A moment later the regal queen came soaring back proudly now she had saved her hove and her underlings, only to find it on the ground and the one guard she had left there gone. With the sandstorm slowly dying out, and a Harry who looked a bit battered up, it was clear to her what had happened. Her face contorted in fury, "QUEEEENN!" She bellowed and buzzing from all directions revealed she had a lot more subjects that the few Vartio had seen until now. Scyther seemed to have had a wonderful idea when it ran away before, this was not a battle Vartio would be able to win. As a fainted pokemon is an automatic catch, if pokeball thrown, yes you got it.[img src="https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/combee-f.png"] [b]Combee[/b] Name: [shoose] Gender: [choose] Level: 6 OT: Vartio Artel Attacks: Sweet Scent, Gust, Struggle Bug, Bug Bite Ability: Honey Gather Nature/Personality: [choose]
(ooc: alright, this is NOT how CoStar is working You need to wait for a mod to choose the move and write some rp, this is an roleplay after all, and the mod is still playing the npc's and choses moves and such. Here you are controlling the combee leaving little to nothing for me to do what am I going to fill a post with now? . Long story short: don't do any calc before both you and a mod has written and chosen a move, then you can do the round of calcs for it) 1 pokeball deducted.

CombeeName: Combeat Gender: Female Level: 6 OT: Vartio Artel Attacks: Sweet Scent, Gust, Struggle Bug, Bug Bite Ability: Honey Gather Nature/Personality: All Hail the Queen King. Combeat had a change of mentality following her defeat at Vartio, and grudgingly follows him in hopes of replacing him someday as Queen Bee as he did beat and capture her. Of course she isn't that petty, but she is quite the stubborn little bee and will often act on her own devices. She has a special dislike for his Hippopotas, Harry. ==================================================================== Vartio heard a buzzing noise as the Vespiqueen came into view. Susan sat there with wide eyes, then Vespiqueen glancing down and the duo's heads moving almost in perfect sync (Susan clearly guesstimating her owner's motion and being a short bit quicker), then following back to meeting eye to eye, then moving once more to meet the destroyed (but small) hive and then each other. 'Sque-Squeeeak.' Went Susan in a manner that sounded almost like someone going 'uh ohhh'. Susan looked at Vartio and began frantically squeaking as the Vespiqueen's face turned more and pissed. Vartio suddenly darted off towards the north, running at a speed quite surpassing that of a sprint, with full intent to escape. Susan meanwhile had enough and leaped off Vartio's shoulder and started running herself, leaving a bit of a dust cloud in the process as she tapped into her ability. "Oh NOW you use that!" Vartio called out as he ran as hard and fast as he could, feeling his recovering stamina catching up to him. He never saw Susan use her ability, 'Run Away', before. He long guessed she didn't have Guts. Eventually Vartio came across a small lake off to the right side of the road right outside of the city. Susan squeaked as she was already swimming in it, trying to draw his attention. "I swear Susan you are not getting a cheeseblock for running off like this!" Vartio cried out as he jumped into the water, Susan squeaking in panic as she swam aside to avoid being flattened as Vartio moved to hide under the water, Susan diving after. Vespiqueen buzzed over, floating over the lake for a good minute before buzzing off to go construct a new hive. Vartio popped up, gasping for breath and looking blue more more than one reason, Susan clinging to his head with his hair in her paws like she was attempting to replicate a certain Rattata themed movie. "Well that's only the 5th least pleasant experience in my life..." Vartio muttered, swimming to shore. Susan leaped off his head and shook herself off. Thankfully the lake was mostly Magikarp and Vartio hadn't gotten too unlucky to attract a more hostile Pokemon. Shaking himself off, Vartio let out a sigh. "Your slice of cheese for dinner aside Susan, we can get moving now. We got a journey to finish, we need to hurry along to Violet City. ...Seriously who names cities after colors anyhow now that I think about it?"And to that, Susan just blinked and tilted her head. While she could understand intent, she could now understand his words, only his confusion. So she simply ran up his leg onto his shoulder before shaking off again, her coat appearing poofy as Vartio grumbled, walking off towards the North.
