18 - fury of the night - backdated to forever (and also 4/6) - closed

[On the side of the road not too far from the city, there's a small field of tall grass. Some of the grass is bent and crushed into the earth, and there's a little bit of loose dirt everywhere. And just before that bit of bent grass, a perfect and obvious sign if there ever was one, is a failed Ultraball, laying ajar on the ground. Along that trail, there are a few more failed Ultraballs-- a Great Ball, even-- and at the end of that trail lay a wounded Salamence.

He looks pretty beat up-- there are bunches of bruises and countless small cuts, His wings are torn, and his claws are chipped, but at least with his reddened jaw and teeth, it can be said he put up a good fight. The grass and dirt both show he'd tried his earnest to get to the forest, even though he'd had to drag his feet. He'd been lying silently, and was fortuitous not to have attracted any more attention.

He can hear the tall grass rustling, and pauses, listening carefully, lifting his head slightly. It wasn't the light brushing past of smaller pokémon native to this area, but was the distinct footfalls of something a decent size. The dragon-type narrows its eyes a bit, watching as the blades of grass part, a small, steady growl rising out of him.

It was headed right for him.]

[those hoofsteps pause at the growl, but she presses forward with a whinny of concern.]

Toothless? [following the trail wasn't particularly hard. The problem lay in returning or curious humans.]
doublethefun: (and what are you implying)

[aw man. Did they bust out the ice pokemon?

He gets a quick nuzzle even as she casts an eye over the damage.]


'Twould be safer further in the woods. The trail is obvious enough for a blind pony to follow.
doublethefun: (welllll)

[yup, that's a pretty bad sign. Hmm. Better go find some of those restorative berries. They...honestly probably won't help much, but she can't exactly go in and buy a potion at the moment and at least she knows where the berry trees are.

She begins (carefully) kicking the shiny, reflective pokeballs further into the grass, trying to erase some of the trail. Too bad the big dragon at the end of it is kinda glaring.]


Stay low and hidden, and I shall return shortly. Any humans on thy trail will have a wild goose chase to contend with. [there's a flick of that pretty blue tail, and then she darts off. Being one of the fastest pokemon around has its perks.]

[Though Hinata never battled, she did often head off on random routes, and into the occasional forest. Some of the best items she gets from them. For this quick trip, she left her Lillipup at the Center as she was just going to get some more berries.

But when she stumbles across the pokeballs... No, Ultraballs... She's worried. Though she knows how injured Pokemon can react, if there is one, she can't just leave them there untreated. It goes against everything she knows. And if there's just one thing she's always been good at (even if she doesn't know where she got the skill from), it's tracking down Pokemon.

The trail, though confusing at times because some Pokemon is obviously trying to hide it, is still enough for her to follow. After getting turned around a few times, that is.]
doublethefun: (no you're just an idiot)

[and here's Luna cantering down that trail. She screeches to a halt when she sees Hinata. Well. This is awkward. She definitely recognizes her and the Lillipup, but what to do? She shifts uncertainly from hoof to hoof. Hinata didn't seem interested in catching her earlier, but she's still one of the native humans here.]

[Hinata pauses upon seeing the familiar Rapidash. She knew she hadn't stayed at the Center, but...to be so near a battle?

Slowly, she raises her hands in a peaceful gesture.]


I...I don't have any Pokeballs. So, um, are you hurt?

[there's an uncertain earflick, and she shakes her head. She takes a couple of steps closer, examining her and well. Her conclusions were the same as before - somepony nice. Then again, maybe her judgment is biased because Hinata had fed her. Or you know, because MLP ponies are made of sunshine and rainbows.

Nevertheless, Hinata gets a nod and then she starts trotting towards Toothless.]

[She's uncertain about following, feeling as though she was just sized up by a Rapidash. And somehow found...all right? It's something that certainly hasn't happened before.

But still... The possibility of a hurt Pokemon is enough for her to gather what remains of her courage and follow.

...Only she recognizes that Salamence.]


Oh no..

[It's 'trust,' pretty much; though she'd honestly like to have at least one actual conversation before calling it that.

She nickers a greeting at Toothless and then glances uncertainly at Hinata. What do?]

it's all ok <3

Oh! You're the one that's injured.

[She rushes forward and kneels near him. She hesitates to touch him for just a moment, remembering their meeting only a few days prior and...some other memories she can't entirely remember stay her hand.]

Is it all right if I...if I help?
doublethefun: (if you say so)

[personal profile] doublethefun 2012-04-18 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[she just watches, kinda gratified that things weren't going to hell in a handbasket. At least it wasn't one of the trainers from yesterday who found them.]

[She almost falls down under the unexpected weight of his head. But she catches herself and wraps her arms around his neck, lightly petting him.]

It'll be OK. Just with some berries an-and...some treatment you'll be OK.

[But berries and bandages she doesn't have on her--she never quite gathered any before stumbling across them. She moves one of her hands to her pockets, feeling around for something she might have on-hand.]
doublethefun: (if you say so)

[eartwitch. Berries do seem to help, from what she found out yesterday. Herbal remedies of some sort, apparently. Or maybe a placebo.]
