"This isn't going to well for me, isn't it?" Ventus said, just shaking his head at his poor luck. Its as if Reshiram themselves has decreed that it was not going to catch the Shroomish (OOC: Curse you dice!). Going over to his Togepi, he picked it up, and shrugged his shoulders at the Shroomish. "It appears that I'm no match for you at the moment, Shroomish. While I still have a chance, I rather withdraw now, and save my Raphael the pain of being KOed. Still, it was good experience for me and my little angel, so thank you for your time," Ventus said, looking a bit worried at his Togepi's condition.

With all the Absorb attacks it took, it was looked very frail and sickly. Sniffling, it buried its way deeper in its arms, not looking very happy at all with its inability to make friends with the mushroom. With a small smile on his face, he rubbed their back soothingly, doing his level best to console it. Looking over to the Shroomish, he decided that he might as well give one last go to recruiting it. "I didn't pass your test, little mushroom, but I would still like to humbly request you join us. While I'm an amateur at fighting, I do know how to properly care for Pokémon. I know that I can not only provide for you better than you can out here in the wild, but I also have both the knowledge and determination to aid you in evolving into a fine Breloom," He calmly said to it, doing his best to persuade it with his offering.

"Now, I don't expect you to respect me, since I failed you challenge, but I can promise you that I will more than earn it, if you give me the chance. Together, we can be strong enough to take on the mightest Fire type, be bold enough to clip the wings of any Flying Types that dare face us, and clever enough to stump even the most intelligent of Psychics. What do you say?"

(Well, since battling didn't work out so well, might as well give diplomacy another go. It fits Ventus character better than straight up battling, that is for sure!)
