Gloomy Ravine: Tristan's First Encounter

[Caramell 🍬]

Cascoon (Level 14) is trying to scare Tristan off!
Encountered here.

[Hunter]

Shelly is out for battle, uses Water Gun on Cascoon!

Tristan's gut feeling that he was disturbing the peace of the Gloomy Ravine was found to be true as a round, cocoon-like pokemon covered in purple silk dropped from a thick oak branch above hand bounced off his head. The blonde haired teen gently rubbed at the spot with which the bug type pokemon collided with his cranium, Tristan felt no ill will towards the chrysalides, after all it was completely natural for wild pokemon to protect their territory,

"Sorry friend, we didn't mean to disturb your peace!"

The purple silk covered chrysalide growled a strange, guttural sound towards as spikes popped out as a definitive warning sign to the human that had intruded its space. Tristan was prepared to leave the area and continue on his search for the Farfetch'd, that was until the wild pokemon fired off a sticky warning shot directly towards the face of the blonde haired teen. Tristan was able to avoid a face full of the sticky substance by ducking down at the last moment, if the intentions of the wild bug type pokemon had not already been made clear, they were now speaking volumes, it was willing to protect its land at whatever the cost. The message was loud and clear to Tristan, he would have to try and calm the chrysalide down if he wished to progress further into the forest, with that in mind the blonde haired teen retrieved the pokeball containing Shelly the Shellder as he released the mischievous, bivalve mollusk pokemon from her resting place,

"Shelly girl, can you help me calm this young one down?"

The two round white eyes with tiny black pupils of the bivalve mollusk pokemon were intrigued at catching sight of her opponent, she wondered to herself what mischievous behavior she could get up to against the chrysalide. Before Tristan could ask for his pokemon partner to initiate an attacking maneuver, the mollusk pokemon took control of the situation as she fired a spiral of water at the chrysalide pokemon.

Ah yes, water pulse. A nice, gentle pulse of water to calm and disorient the cocoon. Perfect! Except...Shelly's beautifully shaped water pulse hit juuuust right and sent the panicked Cascoon tumbling backwards into a rock, eliciting a sharp noise of alarm. Its spines momentarily retracted as it tensed, whole body hardening up, braced for pain, before emerging again to prop it up. The cocoon peered at the trainer and pokemon with distrust, red eyes flicking to the side as it shivered, prepared to be assaulted again! Oh cruel world. What has this bug done to deserve this abuse? To be hit so hard while so helpless and unable to defend itself? 

It tried to shuffle back, propped on those spines, the leaf little crunching and crinkling as it squirmed. But alas, it was mostly unable to move, trapped with its back against cold stone as it started up at this strange shellfish who was so very far from the sea.

Shell uses another Water Gun on Cascoon!

Tristan had been content to move along and ignore the chrysalide and its sudden appearance from above, after all it was the bug type pokemon's territory that he was intruding on. The chrysalide like pokemon had an opportunity to leave the scene if it so chose to, its pride was clearly blocking its path of escape as it maintained its ground, not allowing Tristan to proceed any further. Reluctantly Tristan had to resort to the aid of one of his water type pokemon in Shelly the Shellder to handle the situation for him.

The bivalve mollusk pokemon hadn't waited for her trainers request, instead her desire to take control superseded her ability to listen and act accordingly. Shelly's powerful spiral of water sent the wild chrysalide pokemon tumbling backwards into a rock, disorienting the bug type pokemon and eliciting a sharp noise in response,

"Well that sure was one way to go about things, Shelly ease up a little darl, we don't want to actually hurt this poor little one"

Tristan's caring nature and not wanting to leave a literal damaging footprint in Ilex Forest was at the forefront of his priorities. Shelly's priorities were abundantly clear as she stared figurative daggers through her opponent as she prepared to release another lethal dosage of her Water Gun attack.

The Cascoon was motionless against its own will. It would really like to wipe those water soaking its pristine cocoon, but it had no arms. It would really like to show the Shellder a new thing or two about the bug's wrath, but it had no arms. It shot an unrelenting rude glare at the opponent. Once it evolved, things will change!

The Shellder turned around and gave Tristian taunt by sticking her tongue out longer than usual, as she was not amused by being called out for attacking this Cascoon accidentally for just one time! Then, she hopped back around and fired another Water Gun at the feeble Cascoon. The opponent bug type closed its eyes gradually as light faded from its eyes. There, was this water gun better?

I love it Tiki! Personality description for Shelly fits like a glove!

If looks could kill, Shelly and Tristan would be long gone because the wild Cascoon was staring literal daggers through the pair of them. The bug type pokemon appeared to be physically outmatched, the fact its movement was so limited narrowed its options down to simply standing strong and taking its water type opponents best shots. Shelly was none too impressed by her trainers request to tone down the ferocity of her water gun attack, so much so that prior to utilising the maneuver again she turned around and stuck her tongue out in taunting manner. The bivalve mollusk fired another soaking barrage of water towards her bug type opponent, the impact seemingly lulling the chrysalide to sleep,

"Well if nothing else, it tried its best. Thanks for the help Shelly"

Before Shelly could do anything to disrupt the peaceful nature of the Gloomy Ravine, Tristan proceeded to return his water type partner into her pokeball. Tristan was hoping to avoid continuing to disturb the inner sanctity of Ilex Forest so to not have it bite him in the backside, after all he was only trying to help someone out with a pickle that they had found themselves in. While the chrysalide was currently experiencing an enforced slumber, it would no doubt eventually awaken and likely retreat to its friends and family and alert them to the presence of the teenage male and his water gun slinging pal, it was best to keep on moving in search of Sylvester's Farfetch'd.
