WILD POKEMON APPEARED! [/style] Lapras || Female || Shell Armor || Water / Ice || 07 Sing || Growl || Water Gun || Mist || Confuse Ray The big, blue Pokemon continued to sing and sing, raising her voice to cover the entirety of the area. Pidgeys fell out of the sky in sleep, and deep in the greenery of the surrounding woods, countless Pokemon collapsed as they stood and as they were. The Pikachu stared up at her with wide eyes, startled at first, before it’s lids became heavy. Slowly, slowly, the Pikachu slumped and collapsed in a deep slumber.
The human took a little longer, able to stumble around to her with his hands clasped over his ears. He spoke over her singing, looking rather sorry as he went to his knees. Was he sleepy yet? The Lapras arched her neck, giving a final note before the song died away, feeling badly that she was making things fall over left and right. The Pikachu was asleep, however, and she supposed that was enough. If the human dared attack again, she would give him a piece of her mind...
WILD POKEMON APPEARED! [/style] Pikachu || Male || Static || Electric || 08 Thundershock || Growl || Tail Whip || - - - Pikachu is asleep! Chance for capture.

Unfortunately, the Song of Lapras was such that no amount of muffling he could manage was enough to keep her power out, and he grew closer and closer to sleep. When he hypnotising voice finally came to an end, it took a moment for the boy to gather the necessary will to push away the desire to just give up, he was so close sleep. He had a feeling it would have been one of the best sleeps he'd had since leaving home, and that made it even harder.
However, his need to stay awake and keep himself and Lapras safe won out, and he struggled out of the haze and back to full wakefulness. He groaned as he came to, one that his parents would find amusingly familiar as it was the same sound he made when they used to knock at his door to let him know it was time for school. Nathan slowly lowered his hands as the power of the song faded, and looked around the lake area with wide eyes. Were those fluffy forms beneath the trees in the distance bird Pokemon?
His mouth corners twitched upward as he glanced at the completely unconsious Pikachu beside him and then found Lapras's eyes. "Thank you," He said, and his voice cracked. The strain it had taken to stay awake and fight the song was draining, and he coughed to restore moisture to a very dry throat. "Thank you," He repeated, voice smooth once again. "I am sorry about that," His forehead furrowed beneath locks of blue hair knocked loose. "I had thought he was after you... guess I should have paid more attention." Maybe the entire time the mouse had been after him. Either way, it was dangerous for the Lapras to have Electric type moves used so closed to her, and he did as he'd wanted and moved the fight away.
Still... he wasn't about to let it wake up and cause more problems. And it was a powerful little Pokemon, who, now that he understood the whole story, Nathan could see himself becoming friends with in in another setting. Obviously they had something in common. He just hoped the Lapras wouldn't be offended by his capture of the little Electric-type right in front of her. He shot the graceful dual type a cautious look and pulled an empty Pokeball from one of the bigger pockets on his trousers. "I would like to capture him, before he wakes and this starts all over again." The Eelektross Gijinka explained, hope clear in his voice that she'd understand. "He is strong, and protective, qualities that I like in Pokemon. And I won't hurt him again, I promise. That was a mistake, and I will try to explain when he comes to." Assuming the capture took.
With a soft, thoughtful hum, he moved the Pokeball above the small yellow Pokemon, and then lightly tapped the capsule against the sleeping mouse's forehead. The Pikachu was converted to red light, and the newbie Trainer allowed to ball to roll from his hand and shake on the ground as he watched hopefully.[/style] |

Pikachu has been caught! WILD POKEMON APPEARED! [/style] Lapras || Female || Shell Armor || Water / Ice || 07 Sing || Growl || Water Gun || Mist || Confuse Ray Slowly but surely, her singing died down to a bare whisper, then it was gone as the Pikachu lay asleep and the human near passed out by the shore. She could say it was a fine job done, not hurting anybody and all that. She watched with some curiousity as the human got back up, still slightly sleepy from her song, but otherwise alright... he was a strong individual, she could already tell.
He spoke to her briefly, in his usual calm tone and drew a Pokeball. Yes, she knew what those things were; used for no good sometimes, but the best for others. The Lapras watched carefully as the human went towards the Pikachu and in a flash of light, the little mouse was gone... To where, she wouldn’t know, but hopefully a nice place.
”Lap... Lapras~” She called quietly, tilting her head at the contraption quizzically. She was unsure of how to proceed with this human... Did he want to capture her too?

NOTES Eh, I need to spend more time with Nate. This felt awkward.[/style] [STYLE=font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 100!important; float: left; width: 100px; word-spacing: 1px; padding: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; border-left: 3px solid #333333; border-right: 3px solid #333333; margin-top: 319px; margin-left: -127px;][/style] | [STYLE=float:right; padding: 20px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; border-left: 3px solid #333333; border-right: 3px solid #333333; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; height: 365px; overflow: auto; width: 260px; margin-top: -405px; color: #cacaca]The ball had barely begun to rock before it went still, and Nathan exhaled slowly as a smile came onto his face. It wasn't the perfect capture, or at least what he considered the perfect capture, but it was his first, and that meant something. It was practically a right of passage for one who'd chosen the path he had in life, Gijinka or not. Perfect would have ended in the capture, but without the fight. Nathan rolled his shoulders an inch. He'd make it up to his first ever Pokemon later, so the two could start Training with a clean slate.
Nathan gave himself a quick shake to pull himself from his thoughts, and bent at the waist to collect the Pokeball. Cradling it to his stomach, he slipped a sleeve past his wrist and gave the Pokeball a few rubs to remove the dirt, and then turned to Lapras, who'd called to him. "He'll be safe with me," The Team Rocket member promised both her and himself. He put out his hand, allowing the ball to roll to the ends of his fingers so she could see, "He barely fought the capture." Lapras received an impressed arch of his blue eyebrow, "That is some song of yours."
A few silent moments passed as he allowed his thought train to circle back to where it'd been before the Pikachu attack. Stepping forward, he reached out with one hand for Lapras's head as the other stored the Pokeball away. "Lapras," His brow furrowed in thought. "I am not sure how much of what I say you can understand, but I would like to make you an offer." He tilted his head to find one of her eyes as he was standing too close to look into both at once. "You were, and are, amazing. I could appreciate a Pokemon like you by my side." He gestured toward the lake, "You see that? I am trying to save it, and every other place like it, where Pokemon live, but I can't do it alone. I need help." His hand was lowered to lightly pat the newly filled capsule, "I have Pikachu now. Would you like to join us?"[/style] |

WILD POKEMON APPEARED! [/style] Lapras || Female || Shell Armor || Water / Ice || 07 Sing || Growl || Water Gun || Mist || Confuse Ray There was an elegant arch of her neck as she craned over to sniff at the Pokeball, giving it a slight nudge with her nose. It smelled of the human and electricity and plastic, something foreign and fascinating to her. She wondered what was inside those capsuls sometimes, but that wasn't for her to find out. That was a human thing...
He spoke softly, as he seemed to always do unless he panicked. That was what had happened earlier, was it not? He had flipped out over the Pikachu, and now, with her song, she supposed he was more relaxed. He withdrew the red and white ball and slipped it in his pocket, speaking to her in soft tones again. She didn't know what the heck he was talking about, but he was looking her straight in the eye, and he didn't seem to mean any harm...
The Lapras' head craned when he pointed out towards her home, her lake and one she swore that she'd protect. The human seemed to have a similar idea... though she wasn't too sure of it yet. He seemed safe to the old Pokemon, willing to care for things properly and no doubt going to take care of that Pikachu. But what about her?
Carefully, as to not accidently send him toppling over, she nudged his forehead with her nose. She wasn't sure what he was making at, but then again, perhaps she'd lived in one place for far too long...

NOTES This one was easier, but I think I'll pull out after this capture and stick Nate in a regular thread. I need a better feel for him.[/style] [STYLE=font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 100!important; float: left; width: 100px; word-spacing: 1px; padding: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; border-left: 3px solid #333333; border-right: 3px solid #333333; margin-top: 319px; margin-left: -127px;][/style] | [STYLE=float:right; padding: 20px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; border-left: 3px solid #333333; border-right: 3px solid #333333; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; height: 365px; overflow: auto; width: 260px; margin-top: -405px; color: #cacaca]Her face was incredibly expressive, but Nathan still couldn't tell what parts of his offer she was understanding and what she had no clue about. It would have been easier if she'd had more contact with humans in the pass... but then he likely wouldn't have ever met her. The best sign he had seen that she had an inkling of what he was asking was when she willingly pressed her flesh against the Pokeball that contained Pikachu. He didn't think many Pokemon who understood the purpose of the device did that.
Still, he continued to look for signs of further understanding in her responses to his explanation. When he fell silent, he worried for a moment, until her wet nose pressed against his head. A breath blew his hair back, and he snorted in quiet amusement. "Alright." A good sign? Yes. One good enough to try his hand at a capture. Not yet. He didn't want to make her afraid of him. "Would a game of charades help?" He smiled, head still resting on her cool, moist nose. His hand fell to his belt as the realized the idea might actually hold some merit, and he unclipped and expanded a Pokeball. A large step back put his entire body in view of Lapras, Pokeball and all, and he offered it like he had the last one for a closer view, only that one was empty.
He gave it the slightest of shakes, brows high as he gestured with his free hand between Lapras and the Pokeball. It was equal parts amusing and embarrassing. At least nobody was around to see him attempt to negotiate a capture with a Pokemon. It generally wasn't the usual way a Trainer did it... "I really hope you are understanding..." [/style] |

WILD POKEMON APPEARED! [/style] Lapras || Female || Shell Armor || Water / Ice || 07 Sing || Growl || Water Gun || Mist || Confuse Ray The Lapras continued to nudge at him with her nose, sniffing his hair and his clothes and no longer smelling the unsureness of danger on him. That was when he began to back away, picking out another capsule as he made funny gestures in her direction. ”Lap… ras…” She tilted her head to the side, curious and confused as to why he was doing that funny dance. It was a human thing, right? It must’ve been.
The big, blue Pokemon slapped her fin against the surface of the water, imitating him and his funny gestures to the best of her ability. She bobbed her head up and down and attempted what he was doing, though she thought she looked rather ridiculous in doing so. Humans were funny things, but she couldn’t hold that against them, she supposed. Did he want her to go inside that strange capsule, as the Pikachu did? Well, she didn’t seem to mind that at all, as long as it wasn’t some portal to a horrible place.
Lapras can now be caught!

NOTES I'll end it with my next post. Thank you for the awesome rolls Rene. [/style] [STYLE=font-family: Helvetica Neue; font-size: 20px; text-align: justify; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: 100!important; float: left; width: 100px; word-spacing: 1px; padding: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; border-left: 3px solid #333333; border-right: 3px solid #333333; margin-top: 319px; margin-left: -127px;][/style] | [STYLE=float:right; padding: 20px; -webkit-border-radius: 5px; border-left: 3px solid #333333; border-right: 3px solid #333333; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; height: 365px; overflow: auto; width: 260px; margin-top: -405px; color: #cacaca]The feel of idocy began to fade, the longer Nathan worked to convince Lapras to accompany him when he left. He really, truly, wanted her by his side, but he wouldn't force it. Never. He wouldn't dare. Lapras was... a dream Pokemon, if even that. For her to be a dream Pokemon, he would have had to believe in the past that he had snowballs chance in hell to find one. Maybe it was fate. He wanted to protect Pokemon, and Nature. He found a Pokemon he considered a force of Nature.
A soft, surprised laugh slipped out when Lapras abruptly slapped the water, clearly in imitation of his own movements. It sent a spray of water high, and as the droplets caught the sun and began to fall, he let his hands and the empty Pokebal do the same. The beauty looked pleased... and the nod of her head? Was that an attempt to mimic him- he hadn't thought it was that bad- or an agreement? "I... am going to take that as a yes." He stepped closer again, back to her head, and carefully raised a hand for a soothing stroke down her neck. "I hope it is." A rare feeling of nervousness rose in his stomach, and he swallowed it back down. "If you fight out... we will just say our farewells and I'll leave you be. I'll have been pleased enough to have just known you for a little while. And that was the truth.
Nate's right hand tightened around the Pokeball he meant to be her new home, and with as much respect as he could manage, he gently tapped the capsule agianst her moist blue side. Lapras dissolved into red energy, and Nathan pulled himself back out of a stumble forward without her to hold him up, dropping the ball in the grass to give Lapras enough time to back out if she wished.

The tell-tale plink of a successful capture rang in Nathan's ears, and for a moment he was caught by utter surprise. Had he really been expecting it to fail all that time? Apparently so... The heart bursting happiness that sprang up to replace that dying doubt made him shiver, it was so powerful. Many people had said he was a dream, but Lapras was his. Without a single drop of her blood shed in battle, by himself or Pikachu. Could anyone else have done it better?
Nathan swallowed, and wiped a trail of sweat his face that had wound down his face from his hair line. The ball still lay in the grass, and he knelt to retrieve it with care, flicking a blade of grass from the red section as he stood. Held out at chest level, Nate imagined his future. It was something he did a lot, but now there was a new figure in those fantasies. Lapras. Undoubtedly his most powerful ally. "We're going to do some great things together, you and I."
He placed the Pokeball safetly on his belt, and swept his hair back as he turned to find his belongings. The distraction had been far from unwelcome, but he had come down to the lake that day with a mission. It was over now, and it was time for him to clean up after his own self. Nathan retrieved his pack, and then the large bag full of trash he'd collected from the edges of the lake, then began a slow walk back up the hill away from the water. At the crest, he turned back to the lake, shielding his eyes with one hand from the sun. It was a beautiful sight, at a distance, but he knew better. He saw what too many others willfully ignored. Not just at the lake, but everywhere. From the very city streets themselves to the distant lake beyond the mountains he could see the purple outline of in the other direction.
"There's still a lot of work to do." And now he had help. [/style] |
