Stantler was caught

2XP to Ventus, Raphael, Breloom.

Stantler has Intimidate, Me First, Tackle, Hypnosis, and Sand Attack. He will be grumpy when he wakes up, hoo boy.

Ah crap, is that a Tauros coming up behind Ventus, head lowered? Too tired to outrun it...Ventus puts a hand on the barrier and vaults out into the crowd. Many of them applaud him! Nurse Joy comes up to offer him a steadying shoulder and to help him with his (unharmed) Pokemon. She mumbles that the Center has a charity program for beasties captured during the Running, if he doesn't need that Stantler. The Pokemon are sold at auction or released back into the wild after some rehabilitation.

But that'll be a great hologram to upload to your Pokedex, Ventus!

"Haaa...haaa....haaa.....by Reshirim's flames, we cut it rather close in taking our leave from the Running, were we not my family? Won't...Shiva be pleasantly surprised by the...gift I'm planning to give her, among...other things I have in store for...my friends. ...If they are willing to forgive me for my follies, that is...," Ventus said to himself and his Raphael/Michael, hand on knees and half bent to the group trying to catch his breath and regain his balance narrowly ecasping being gored by ANOTHER Tauros. Did he snatch their close brother/friend, and wanted to enact some poignant revenge upon his posterior? That would be just his luck, wouldn't it? Well, at least that frantic event was no literally behind, and he can take some respite as he plans ahead as to how to repair his now very tenuous friendship with Nate...

When the local Nurse Joy came to offer to assist him in his greatly exhausted state and asses the condition, he gladly accepted it, and carefully listened to the charity program she brought to his attention. The researcher thought it over briefly for a moment...before silently deciding against it. 'While I would love to support the local caretaking and non-profit social/medical care organizations, I need all the resources that can be gained from my captures for myself and my friends. Hopefully the town doesn't suffer overly from my pragmatic and fiscal mindset concerning my captures. Hmm...perhaps I can send some Poke later, when I'm not scrapping the Bibarwel as I am right now,' the sociologist though, before he returned both his Pokémon after they where given a clean bill of health by the Nurse and asked her to escort him to the Pokémon Center.

While Ven highly appreciated the praise he receiving for his admittedly outlandish performance and safeguarding he conducted during the Running, especially in light of his recent failings in regards with his personal life, right now he desired the peaceful respite that the Center offered to recover from his ordeal(s). That, and he needed to do some party management for the upcoming business deals he's about to conduct in the near future. If some curious spectators or the media wanted to interview him for the stunts he pulled, they could very well wait until he's in better shape and mind first!

Order: Have Ventus make his way towards the Pokémon Center, swap out Haneal, Lucifer, and Abbadon for Stantler, Kangushkan, and Absol, have him take a long enough rest to regain his stamina and not collapse if he decides to wander around town for a bit, before leaving and seeking out to get a series of trades started! Once that is done, he'll seek out Dr. Mallorn/contact him via phone call and arrange an exchange for that Tauros, before seeing what else he could do for the day, now that the Running is officially over for him.... I'll PM you with the details of what I have in mind for Stantler and Kangushkan. Between those two Normal types, maybe its possible for Ven to normalize his current status with both Shiva and Nathan...
