Encountered here.

ZAIDEN KABILA Aspiring Champion : On | Time: Day The winds picked up their momentum, slamming the forest with their dusty breeze. The trees were densely packed, managing to block out most of the winds as they struggled to break through and hurl chunks of debris in Zaiden’s face. Not only did the strange man seem unbothered by the wild Pokemon his Pokedex practically hissed at him to avoid, he captured it in the blink of an eye utilizing tactics as though he might have also tried to invite the small cub for tea. Was he…all there in the head? “I won’t get eaten by your superstitions!” Zaiden promised, lifting one hand in the air to wave at Silas’ quickly disappearing form. He couldn’t help but wonder what might happen to Silas later down the road. The man was a bit too grumpy to be seen as cuddly, Zaiden supposed. It should mean that there would always remain a healthy distance between his Pokemon and himself. So, perhaps it was a nonissue? The way the older man’s legs pounded against the ground, causing him to disappear among the trees in a flash, seemed almost like it was out of a cartoon skit entirely. Wasn’t he camping a second ago in the area? Sitting down, observing the sap-covered tree with interest? And now that he’d found this one bear, YEEEE-OOOWWWNNNN! Off he went into the shadows and overgrown grass! Ok then. Sure. Zaiden returned to his own thoughts, wondering what he was doing out amid the overgrown woodlands. Couldn’t admit that he was lost. Heavens forbid those words came uttering out of his lips! He’d suffered being lost within the gloomy recesses of Dark Cave once before, so clearly he should know his way out of a forest where light filtered down through the trees. If he just traveled in one, clear and straight line, the forest had to end somewhere after all! But when he immediately stood back up and jogged off in any direction, he’d find himself at the same stump near the same tree Silas once sliced the honeycomb open on. Something stirred in the branches above his head, though. Zaiden stopped and craned his head up, his rich chocolate gaze searching amongst the emerald hues of brightly colored leaves to see if he could spot the origin of the noise. Leaves rustled and branches creaked from the effort of the hidden creature. Was it another dangerous bear?? Zaiden slowly backed up, hands reflexively reaching for his Poke Balls, as a bright blue bat with leathery purple wings and large ears swooped out from the top of the canopy, trying to attack the young teenager with its long fangs. A bat. Was there…a cave…somewhere nearby? Weren’t they like, the most common sight you’d see in a cave? “Hey…hey…calm down, buddy. Calm down! I’m not trying to hurt you!” Zaiden insisted in a soft voice, between yelps of ‘ACK!’ as the bat managed to cut the sides of his arms. He flailed them over his head and stumbled backwards, defending his face from most of Zubat’s brutal attacks. “Where’s your cave? OUCH! Ok…please…. AH! STOP!” He insisted, tripping over a large root. Zaiden flailed wildly about as he fell, rear end slamming harshly down on the leaf-littered ground. “What is your problem?!” He tried to reason. A sleepy looking golden tapir with a dark brown rear end appeared in the blink of an eye. He stared up at the bat attacking Zaiden and blinked quietly with a simple nod. So, his trainer needed his help? Mandoru waved his arms in a hypnotic trance, crying out to get Zubat’s attention. “Over here, friend!” Now if only he could get his newfound friend to drift off to sleep. A blast of psychic energy shot from the tips of Drowzee’s fingers first, grazing between Zaiden and barely missing the young boy, as Mandoru attempted to hit his flying leather-winged target. OOC: Sending out Mandoru and using Confusion! If the battle ends, please use Mod Bar and NOTE Mandoru is holding Lucky Egg! So should be +3 levels if battle ends. <3 Words: 654 | Speech.

The battiest of bats was haungry and disoriented and upset. It was Zaiden's fault, clearly. It shrieked and flapped its wings even harder to get its offended, batty point across. He'd not suffer worse than maybe a small bruise as the zubat wasn't exactly very strong, and even those teeth weren't finding purchase as it harassed its squirming target. Then, the drowzee was called to assist matters. Which was probably wise. He drew the bat's attention with a little finger wiggling...then BAM. Slapped the bat right back into the tree branches over head with a single confusion. Ha! Take that.

And with that last nudge of experience...he felt a certain energy within him....
