Beautiful wildflowers such as weakstem mariposa lilies, poppies, and even lilac sunbonnets can be found in abundance, especially when in bloom. Luminous runs through gently sloping hills along the forested stretches of Ilex, with sparser populations of oaks and pines dotting along its stretches that allow travelers to adequately stretch their legs. |

A FARFETCH'D CHASE
[Entering From Shady Glen]
The first stop in looking for a couple of runaway ducks, Cheeky has led Nadia to a bright section of the woods. Well, bright in comparison, anyway. The trees were just slightly less populated in this area and the rays of sunlight were able to shine through more here than other places. Hopefully, this was the place that Sylvester was talking about. Well, being a bit more clear was certainly helpful in trying to locate a Pokemon here, but it would be hard still if it is ducking in the bushes, no pun intended.
"I think this might be the place, gang," Nadia said to Cheeky and Chuchu. She held her hand up to her eyes to get rid of some of the glare from the light shining through, eying the place down. "However, I don't see a Farfetch'd around here anywhere. How about we split up and investigate a bit more thoroughly? Keep close to one another and if you find the Farfetch'd, don't let it get away. Understood?"
Nadia's Pikachu and Swellow chimed in agreement. Cheeky went soaring at low altitude to the right while Chuchu jumped off Nadia's shoulder and proceeded to go left. That left Nadia herself with the option of going straight ahead. Doing her best to not trip over any vines or fallen branches, she saw no Farfetch'd just yet. However, what she did find was a small bush that had on it one single white berry of sorts. Although, it was a bit too large to be a typical berry... then it finally dawned on her, this was actually an Apricon fruit! These could be used for all different sorts of things! Though she was looking for Farfetch'd, she still felt like she felt something good. She extended her arm and went to reach for the White Apricorn...

The illuminating section of Ilex Forest known only as Luminous Vale to those who grew up in Azalea seemed to be host to an assortment of gleaming things. A lot of the Pokemon here seemed to have an exquisitely fine glow to their fur coats and all of the foliage encircling the area seemed to be giving off its own light. It was certainly a peculiar area. The White Apricorn which was found in the vale would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. After all, the beautiful white dye to the apricorn seemed just at home with the rest of the serenely beautiful forest. Although Nadia had outstretched her hand to obtain one for herself, it appeared that a wild Pokemon had taken offence to the female trainer boldly helping herself to the treasures of the forest so willy nilly. The white apricorn that had hung so proudly on one of the many bushes in the area suddenly fell to the floor as if it had been swiftly cut from its branch. From where the apricorn had hung, there was now an amazingly clean cut through the bush that gave way to a set of eyes that peered back with pure annoyance in their eyes. Realising its hideout had been discovered, there was a quick rustle as a bird jumped out of the bushes. It was none other than a Farfetch'd! Judging how clean that Cut through the bushes had been, it just had to be part of the Charcoal Kiln. It flew over Nadia's head and landed a few feet behind her. Letting out a noisy cry and thrusting its onion leek forward, the Pokemon seemed like it was going to teach Nadia a thing or two about pinching products from the forest. It may have been a tear away and not listened to its trainer but this Pokemon sure had some values that it did its best to uphold. Farfetch'd Encounter
 One of the Farfetch'd duo has appeared! Please select a Pokemon in order to knock out

A FARFETCH'D CHASE
Everybody couldn't help themselves but enjoy themselves when they had the chance. Cheeky got out the most since he could fly, thus used as navigation an awful lot since he could see from high up. Chuchu, on the hand, though got as much free rest time as the rest, was enticed to be in this forest. There was just something incredibly delightful about it. While looking for the Farfetch'd, she made sure not to stray too far like she was told, but couldn't help herself when she stuck her nose into the fallen leaves. Mmm, the fresh smell was just so soothing for it, crisp and delicious. Now and again, she even toppled over to roll around in them so she could musk herself in the forest smells. To her, this was like the finest perfume you could find! After all, who really didn't love the smell of autumn leaves.
Suddenly, Chuchu heard the surprised shriek of her trainer, Nadia. It wasn't a long and agonizing kind of scream; just the kind of something had suddenly startled her. Regardless, Chuchu made her way directly over to see what was going on. Sure enough, there stood a Farfetch'd between her and Nadia. However, the duck had its back turned to the yellow Pikachu and was facing Nadia, threatening her with that leek stick. It may not look like much, but an average leek stick was somehow very destructive when in the hands (well, wings) of a Farfetch'd. It was as sharp as steel and well trained ones could slice down a tree in an instant! And that feathered freak dared to have that weapon pointed at Nadia!
"Sorry, Nadia! Thunder Wave is out of the question now!
[/i]" Chuchu thought to herself. " Piiiikaaaa..." Chuchu had begun to charge up power for an electrical attack as she came running full speed at the duck. The cry of something behind it came to a surprise to the Farfetch'd, turning around to see what it was. " Chhuuuuuuuu!!!" Without order of what to do, Chuchu jumped into the air directly over the Farfetch'd and launched a ThunderShock straight downward at the slightly baffled bird. Had things gone peacefully, Chuchu would've only done Thunder Wave like she was told before. But you dare threaten her trainer and you've got another thing coming for ya, buddy! Nobody points a leek stick at this Pikachu's trainer in a menaching manner and gets away with it! Nobody.

The Farfetch'd had little time to react to the unexpected surprise attack by the yellow rodent. It was hoping to teach that flagrantly bold girl a thing or two about taking things from this blessed forest. The Farfetch'd had been coming to this place for the better part of its life and it had grown to understand the way things worked around here. Seeing an upstart just take what she pleased was a blasphemy to the honourable goose. Nevertheless, as the lick of thunder bolted towards it, the Farfetch'd did what it could do shield the blow. The leek stick it had in its hand seemed to take the brunt of the attack but it still didn't save it from the far reaching electric energy that surged all over the bird's body. It shook violently as it felt itself being fried over by the jarring attack. Eventually the Pokemon seemed to run out of energy and it was at this point that Farfetch'd was more than happy to retaliate. This young Pikachu seemed like bit of an upstart itself and thus made it unworthy of the Pokemon's respect. It was almost like looking into the eyes of that inexperienced young male the Farfetch'd's original trainer had placed its care onto. There was no way it was going to listen to such a foolish person and it certainly wasn't going to go back on its stance with this Pokemon. With a swift strike of its blade like leek, the Pokemon unveiled its heralded Cut attack. The blow was powerful and sent Chuchu flying backwards so there was a bit of space between them.

((Thanks for the post, Joey. Just wanted to be sure you took into account Chuchu's Eviolite, though. I wouldn't put it past you, though, since not a lot of other members have exactly come across hold items, either. I sometimes feel like I forget myself. D: ))
A FARFETCH'D CHASE
With the way Chuchu was hardwired, she just had a really difficult time minding her own business when there was trouble brewing. Usually she stuck close to Strawberry since she is the drama queen of the group, being over-sensitive and for some reason getting herself into trouble. Rarely had Chuchu had to step in to zap the Buneary, but far more frequently she has had to step in when Richie started to cause some kind of trouble between the others. He would sneak in and steal food from under the noses of others while slinking away quickly, causing the team to turn on one another while he got away without a scratch. She wasn't sure how the others could still be dooped by this trick time and time again because it is always obvious that nobody else took the food while Richie just got fatter. She had to treat him to numerous Thundershocks, but he still does this habit constantly.
This situation with the Farfetch'd seemed almost no different. There was an unneeded fight breaking out and no way in hell was this going to deter her from doing her self-proclaimed duty. When this Farfetch'd came rearing its ugly head and threatening Nadia, Chuchu drew the line there. She could tell it was a defiant bird just by glancing at it, probably thinking itself more superior than everybody just because it can get a few choice strikes in and its trainer's son is rather meek. If it had just come home, nice n' easy, there would've been no need. Well, the kid gloves came off the instant anybody dared to threaten Chuchu's sweet and loving trainer.
Getting a good zap in, the Farfetch'd got a good swipe back in retaliation at Chuchu. That leek had lethal potential, but the female Pikachu hadn't come into this battle blind and stupid. She was was pissed off, sure, but ill prepared was far from it. When she landed, she put up her arms and held out the small necklace her trainer had crafted for her, featuring what looked like a small, purple scale. This was an Eviolite and Nadia had recently obtained a number of these, long with a few other nifty gadgets from her brother in the Unova Region. Chuchu was taught to hold up this necklace in a defensive pose whenever she was being attacked, causing her defensive capabilities to climb high. Though she was knocked off her feet by the forceful blow, the attack doing a nasty toll on her, Chuchu didn't want to think what it'd be like if she didn't have this little item.
"Oh no! Chuchu!" Nadia could only gasp, still in a complete state of surprise and unable to think to rationally at this point. She was scared for her Pokemon because she had just jumped into the fry so quickly, Nadia hadn't the moment to collect her thoughts and think up of a battle strategy. That's why it isn't good to be on the receiving end of a surprise attack.
After hurling through the air for a moment or so, Chuchu found herself curling into a ball and flipping through the air slightly before branching out and landing on all fours on the ground. She may have been hit hard, but her own sheer will and determination to protect her trainer allowed her to keep on fighting like she'd barely been hit. Her forepaws had a nasty looking scratch where she defended herself with the aid of the Eviolite, but she wasn't going to go out of this battle with a limp today.
Chuchu eyed the cocky Farfetch'd, angered that it thought so little of life. Sure, may have loved the forest and may have only been protecting it because it was home, but this isn't like as-if the pair had come in with flamethrowers and burning the place to the ground. No, Nadia was just going to examine a piece of fruit and that was all. To react in such a threatening manner is just childish. But was this bird worth its grain in salt? Oh, it certainly was, so long as it had that little stick of its. With that thing, Farfetch'd was quite the menace. With Nadia still in shock, it was all up to Chuchu to decide she would proceed with this battle.
Farfetch'd stood there with its leek poised ready for striking, almost looking like a warrior with its sword drawn. As previously though, there that leek was the source of its power. Get rid of its leek, Farfetch'd should be left defenseless. Oh... was it better for it to have a false sense of security with that stick? Chuchu grinned to herself as she had just thought of something. She, herself, was an electric type and she has a fairly good understanding on how the properties of electricity worked. Using her knowledge, she thought she'd wrap this battle up quick and turn Farfetch'd's own weapon against it by using it as a lightening rod!
Chuchu kept her distance away from the bird so she might be able to have more reaction time to dodging or defending if it comes with another Cut attack, also content in the fact she could strike from this distance anyway. Getting up onto her hind feet, Chuchu took her forepaws and applied pressure to her cheeks one more time. She eyed intently on the leek and wanted to focus all her energy into it. Farfetch'd wasn't grounded at all, so all this energy will be transferred straight into its body with even more devastating effects to the bird than usual. With the brief charge complete, Chuchu let the sparks fly of another Thundershock and aimed it all for the leek. She wanted this nonsense to end now.

Curious as to whatever it was that was being used as a defensive tool for the Pikachu, the Farfetch'd seem distracted now and again as it looked at the item. It held a mixture of fascination and derision for the gem. Fascination in the sense that it looked so alluringly beautiful and derision for the fact it had made light of the Farfetch'd's unrivalled cutting ability. There were century old trees which weren't able to stand up to the mighty power of the sword like leek the goose possessed. Letting out a honk of a cry, the Farfetch'd seem insulted that the Pikachu had not falling to the floor in two. Paddling its yellow scaly feet on the floor, the Farfetch'd drew an offensive position with its sword and began charging courageously at Nadia's Pokemon. It was actually going to put its heart and soul into the strongest Cut it had done in a long time. Thoughts that it had got rusty from being half heartedly ordered around by such a weak willed trainer flooded its mind but the self doubt was quickly erased. This Farfetch'd was confident in its ability to make short work with its amazing slices. As it skidded to a halt, it had a horrified expression as Chuchu had been preparing a lovely shock of electricity at it. Twitching its eye, the Farfetch'd started to panic. It didn't like the feeling of electrical energy surging through its body in the last match and wasn't too keen on the idea of getting used to it in this round. The Farfetch'd instinctively threw its sword like weapon in front of it as anyone would naturally do to defend them and did its best to brace itself for the shock. The voltage of the shock was fairly impressive and it worked exactly as to how the plotting little Pikachu had surmised. Most of the electrical energy was transferred to the bird Pokemon and sent it into a fit as it jolted from all the electricity. As the strike came to an end, black smoke arose from the bird as it breathed heavily. Although these wild geese may have been unruly to their trainer, they were made of sterner stuff and the Farfetch'd still had some fight left in it. With Chuchu's guard now down from thinking it had fried it into submission, the Farfetch'd made a low growl as it flicked around the leek stick between its feathery fingers and then did a horizontal slicing motion. The velocity of the slash was incredible and although the blade like weapon didn't have a sharp edge, it battered into poor Chuchu and sent her flying back before she could regain a steady enough footing. Back from where the strike had originated, the Farfetch'd was huffing and puffing. It was barely able to stand and had resorted to using its weapon as a make shift crutch. Thankfully the first part of the wild goose chase would soon be concluded. Farfetch'd Battle
Sylvester's Farfetch'd #1 | Level 20 | Health : Health : 6% ( 3/57) Status : Normal I'll cut some respect into you! Chuchu | Level 23 | Health : 41% (23/56) Status : Normal With a leek? PFFFFFT
OOC: You bet I took your Pokemon's held item into account. Without the Eviolite it'd have done around 48% damage to poor Chuchu. D: I think in that last round you both dealt some pretty nasty blows to one another which didn't help. Definitely top end damage. |

A FARFETCH'D CHASE
Twice. That was twice now that stupid duck had still managed to get a hit in. Chuchu was just thankful she still had that distance between herself and the bird for some slight reaction time. Plus she had her paws to her cheeks anyway, so she was pretty close to being in a defensive position. Just one quick arm thrust up and she was blocking, which is what she did. But the leek plan didn't go exactly as planned... sure, she did as she plotted out in her head, but the outcome wasn't exactly what she had hoped. She was looking forward to the Farfetch'd just out-right being knocked out cold, not hanging by the skin of its teeth. Well, at least it won't last much longer now...
Chuchu landed on her feet once more again, but this time decided to close the gap. She could still get rid of that leek, especially since Farfetch'd was now so much weaker than at the start of the battle. Running as fast as she could on all fours, her body glowed in an aura of white light, gaining on speed. She was activating her Quick Attack and she had just two things in mind: Smash into Farfetch'd and get that leek away from it. This may be that bird's home turf, but everybody has an equal right to these woods and you do not piss off this Pikachu!

Doggedly holding onto its stick as it tried to keep itself in the battle, the unruly Farfetch'd was proving just how much of a hassle it was, even to a trainer which had been skilled enough to earn the Hive Badge from Bugsy. If the goose was knocked out it was difficult to say if it would resist even when knocked unconscious. Back in the thick of the battle, it appeared Chuchu had began her agile assault on the foe. Using all four of her feet, the speedy Pikachu ran forward in a lightning sprint, going so fast that she seemed to disappear from human sight in short bursts. The tired Farfetch'd looked up and sighed wearily. It knew what was coming but couldn't muster any energy to attack. All it wanted to do now was rest back at home and watch the beautiful night's sky. Jumping into the air with the momentum of the charge, Chuchu was careful to slam the full weight of her body into the Farfetch'd while also extending out a paw to get a hold of that troublesome leek. If it could at least take that it'd be one last thing to worry about. Farfetch'd let out a large squawk as it was hit by the brunt of the blow and fell backwards on itself ungracefully. As it landed, the Farfetch'd was barely still conscious but could feel the horrible feeling of its prized weapon being taken from it. As it did, the Farfetch'd's eyes rolled to the back of its head and a tongue flapped out the side of its beak. With the onion stick now in her mouth, Chuchu seemed delighted to have vanquished the pest. Farfetch'd Battle
Sylvester's Farfetch'd #1 | Level 20 | Health : Health : 0% (0/57)Status : Normal ... Chuchu | Level 23 | Health : 41% (23/56) Status : Normal Wow, it's finally shut up?
Victory!
 Your Pikachu fought courageously and has levelled up! It went up by 2 levels and has grown to Level 25!Chuchu also gained +1 Happiness!
Now that one Farfetch'd had been found it was up to Nadia to escort the newly obtained Farfetch'd back to Sylvester or to explore further on in the woods for the second part of the duo. With the sword like stick of the bird taken away, it was sure not to put up any more trouble for the time being. The fact it was knocked out cold also smoothed over any concerns that may have been present. OOC: Also, I know you went for the White Apricorn but I was unsure as to whether or not that was a Headbutt only tree. Either way, it made for a good plot device to introduce the first of the troublesome geese. |

A FARFETCH'D CHASE
Finally, the battle was over with. It happened a whole lot quicker than what she had anticipated. Letting out a sigh of relief, Nadia looked over to her Pikachu and smiled.
"You were brave out there, girl." She complimented. "And you handled yourself pretty well. I'm sorry I wasn't there completely to lead you on, but good to know you knew your stuff all along."
Chuchu removed the leek from her mouth and then used it to lean on herself. She winked to her trainer and ignore the injuries she got during the fight like they weren't even there at all. She enjoyed having herself a good fight every now and again, so a few cuts and scrapes were just part of the job requirements. But so long as this leek was in her possession, that Farfetch'd better not get back up and try anything daffy.
Looking at her Pikachu, though she acts nonchalant about her injuries, Nadia knew some of these gashes were worse than what the Pikachu led on for them to be. Knowing that there was still one more Farfetch'd out there, possibly just a rebellious, Chuchu would still have to be the best choice for this situation. Besides that, she's so close to learning a powerful move, the Thunderbolt. Nadia decided she'd keep Chuchu out, but not without first reaching into her bag and withdrawing a Super Potion. She bends down next to the little electric Pokemon and applies the fine mist over her wounds. Chuchu winces at the stinging pain of the potion and groans a bit, but remains strong through the treatment. When all wounds closed up now, Nadia shook the bottle of Super Potion to see she still had a decent sum left: She would give it to Sylvester when she returned the first Farfetch'd to try to make up for breaking her word.
"Well, let's get this duck home, alright?" Nadia approached the knocked out bird and lifted it up by its feet. It gave no struggle and she knew holding a Pokemon like this was perfectly safe for it. But before walking off, she looked about. Apparently, Cheeky was nowhere in sight. Well, he wouldn't run off without her, no doubt; he must've just went deeper in the woods to find the other Farfetch'd. Since he could fly, he could cover more ground quicker, so he might not have heard the scuffle earlier.
Making note of this in her mind, Nadia signaled for Chuchu to climb up on her shoulder once more as they headed for the forest entrance to meet up with Sylvester once more. Hopefully he wouldn't be too mad that they had to knock out his father's Farfetch'd...

(From here on, you get to have the honor of using the new leveling system on Chuchu! Brush up on your math! Also, removing the Super Potion from my item bag, so next battle, Chuchu has full health.) |

A FARFETCH'D CHASE
[Returning from Shady Glen]
"Whoa, Cheeky! Slow down, you're going too fast!"
When Cheeky had returned and found Nadia by the forest entrance, returning the first runaway Farfetch'd, he came flying back because he thought he may have spotted something deeper in the woods. He was keeping an eye out for Pokemon who had brown fur and thought he may have seen the Farfetch'd they were looking for hiding in some ferns. Like the eyes of a bird of prey, he was on top of it quicker than you could say "gotta catch 'em all".
"Swellow, swelllllowsw!" Cheeky chirped merrily. He hadn't slowed down the pace at all, but just made sure he kept Nadia at a quick jog behind him. It would be hard to find this Farfetch'd, or what he at least suspected was Farfetch'd, if it had decided to run even deeper in the woods. So long as they return to the general area quickly, they should still have a crack shot at getting this errand wrapped up early and back on track with their adventure.
Around them in the Luminous Vale, the Apricon Tree with its White Apricorn still lay, completely forgotten from the battle. Whether or not Nadia would remember to swing by the bush one more to lay claim to the fruit she had plucked would be hard to say. If some Pokemon doesn't come by to eat the fruit, she just might. But for now, it'd have to wait. She was too busy rushing after her bird Pokemon, balancing a Pikachu on her shoulder, and trying not to trip over any vines or fallen branches that littered the forest ground.

Traversing from Shady Glen. Now fully immersed in the locale of the forest known as Luminous Vale, the biker couldn't quite get over just how amazing the light was. The way it gleamed through the trees was something else entirely. " Wow... I'm not usually one to appreciate sights but this is most certainly a place of beauty." Standing there with his hands shoved into his pockets, he stood there for a few more minutes just examining everything before him. " Sure is temptin' to just throw in everything and live the rest o' yer days under the canopy of this vast forest." As he said that, a strange idea entered his head. It was unlikely it would work but being in such a unique place such as this was worth a try. Throwing forth a Pokeball from his belt holster down to the floor, Joe grinned to Pokemon now standing before him. It was the ever silent Kirlia who went by the name of Lupin. Despite how girlish it's looks were, it was most certainly male. For whatever reason, this Pokemon never spoke a word and seemed trapped in a never ending cycle of thoughts. Raising a hand to gesture at the incredible scenic beauty around them, Joey pondered if this would be enough to get the Pokemon to communicate. " So Lupin, whaddya think? Heaven on Earth, eh?" Looking to see if this had caused a reaction, he was soon disappointed as the Pokemon seemed just as reclusive as ever. " Argh. What on earth is it gonn..." Trailing off slowly, Joe noticed something peculiar on the ground. He couldn't be sure if it was just the weird lighting of the woods which made this stone look almost ethereal but as he moved closer, it appeared to be no trick of light. It was in actuality a special sort of stone. " Woah, what a lucky sod I am. All mine for the taking too it seems." Procuring it off the ground, he tossed it up in the air a couple of times before grabbing it momentarily after to get a grasp of its weight. Peering in closer with his startling blue eyes, Joe wondered if this would cause a reaction. " Hey Lupin, how's about this?" Extending his arm out to present it, he couldn't quite get over the Kirlia's reaction. It had actually moved out of its thinking pose and extended out its hand also as if to touch it. " Heh, there you go. Nice to that the light's are on AND someone's home." Pausing, it seemed his Pokemon had to. " What?!" There was little other time for questions. Lupin had been enveloped in a blinding light. " Oh now what have I done..." Muttered Joe as he shielded his eyes. Obviously this has triggered an evolution. Letting the transformation take its course, he reopened his eyes and glanced at the humanoid figure in front of him. His jaw slightly ajar from its appearance. Before him stood a now manlier figure from the effeminate one from before and that wasn't all. The Pokemon now had sword like elbows which it seemed to be mock slashing in the air before it to test out its new abilities. " Now that is what I call an evolution!" Exclaimed Joe at the miraculous change. " This little detour into the woods has already turn out to be a nice little bonus." All of a sudden, the Gallade extended its sword like elbow in the direction behind Joe, something he mistook for a threat on him. " WOAH! Calm the heck down, y'hear?! Wait..." Soon realising his mistake, he noticed the rustling in the bushes behind him, having been distracted by his Pokemon's new form. " Heh, seems like you sensed something, eh? I wonder if it's the Farfetch'd." Moving a little closer to a dense thicket, Joey called out playfully. " Come out, come out, troublesome Farfetch'd!" OOC: Updated Lupin and use of Dawn Stone myself. Let's see if a Farfetch'd lurks here. ;D

Luminous Vale was a rather mesmerizing section of Ilex Forest, it's tall trees only letting in select rays of light to beam down on the numerous bushes of foliage and fern which grew wildly along the earthy ground, claiming the forest floor as it's own. The air was so much more different to that of Violet City aswell, each breath being soothing and clean rather than thick city smog. The odd cry, rustle and chirp of the local Pokemon residence flowed calmly through the still surroundings, yes, this was an area to make anyone and anything feel relaxed.
In fact, this luminous area was one of the places the first Farfetch'd had waddled off to, the atmosphere feeling more welcome than his home back in Azalea. Stomping through the tall bushes with an angry glare on his face, the leek holding bird quite honestly didn't feel like going back either. Rather than his actual master, the bird was always shoved with his apprentice, Sylvester, who was absolutely useless! He could never command properly and would always throw a hissy fit when Farfetch'd pulled a puzzled expression. What the heck was 'Cutting move' anyway?!
Continuing his sulk through the area, a bright light suddenly caught his attention, one which was much more stronger than the rays which eased themselves through the tall tree branches. Picking up his feet, the feathered Pokemon made his appearance known, shuffling bushes in his excited and intrigued burst of movement. Only, upon exiting the bushes, he was face to face with a tall, scruffy blonde fellow and his humanoid shaped Pokemon, of which a rather threatening blade was being pointed right towards the bird. Squawking in surprise, he raised his leek up back at Lupin, Joe probably seeing this as a challenge.

OOC: Replacing Mud Sport with Rollout... Goodbye poo stains. As the Farfetch'd fainted to the ground and the rubble from the thrown rock settled down on the ground, Joey had a cheeky grin on his face as he dusted off his hands together as if he had thrown the boulder himself. " Hahahahaha, that showed that bird who's boss. Looks like you knocked him out pretty cold, Stallone. Nice!" With a clenched fist extended to the stony creature, the Geodude levitated around and with a pump of its fist in respect back, was happy to be praised for its efforts. Moving in closer, Joey tutted his mouth at how stuck up these Pokemon seemed to be. " I know that Sylvester bloke seems a bit green behind the ears but they could at least try and help him grow out of it. They're doin' nothin' but hinder the poor sod." Now directly in front of knocked out Farfetch'd, Joe knew exactly what he was going to do in order to disarm the leek wielding fighter. With a swift tug, Joey stole the leek onion from out of Farfetch'd's tight grip of its wings and pocketed it in his jean pockets. " No more slicing happy fun for you, mister." Taking off his leather jacket, Joey placed it flat out open on the floor and carefully picked up the knocked out goose and plunked him down on top of his coat. Slowly zipping the coat up and tying the arms around in a manner much like a straight jacket, Joey perfectly imprisoned the bird and was now able to laugh away any chances of the Pokemon escaping. " Hahaha! No running away for you either. Figures I should go and dump these off to Sylvester right away but I get the feelin' if you're here then your friend can't be too far off. I dunno." Slinging the jacket containing the Farftech'd just over his shoulder and using his left arm to hold onto the drooping arm sleeves, Joey looked over his shoulder to see the Farfetch'd's head was poking out comfortably. " Now all I gotta worry about is having the back of my head pecked off when it wakes up." With another shift of his shoulder and the make shift restrainer, Joe took in a hearty inhale of the fresh woodland air around him before deciding what to do next. Looking to Lupin and Stallone, he gestured a movement in another direction with his head. " Alright guys, time to move on out and find the other blighter. Seems like we've got this sorted almost." As they moved towards a new path leading off elsewhere, Stallone looked up to the conquered bird and leered at it in case it'd cause any more trouble. Lupin on the other hand was back deep in his train of thought. Except this time around, he was considering the sights around him as opposed to just the scenery a few feet in front of him.
