Nathan's plan works perfectly and he nabs the Pokemon Egg! Yule prances, very proud of his efforts.

As everyone else in the group scattered to do their own self-appointed tasks, Ventus was suddenly and inexplicitly left bereft of all but his Pokémon's company, with Lucifer perking out of his sweater to see if Shiva had left before returning to much on his apple and Lilith looking a bit put off from the lack of attention/sweets from Shiva as well. The empath stood their, blinking a bit as he finally experienced for himself the sensation of being 'left behind' by the rest of the group, before he shook his head let out a somewhat bemused laugh, and flicked his wrist out towards the ground, summoning his beloved Raphael in an instant!

Giving his archangel a smile and a brief but loving hug (Which they returned with great fevor and enthusiasm!), he let them go and quickly acquired the attention of his two other Flying types, before he said to them: "My family members, since their is hardly any wild Pokémon or activity in these parts that would serve as ample pastime, what do you say that we conduct some high flying aerial manuavers instead? It would be a great way for all of you to build up stamina, and it would help you dodge your opponent's attacks even more so with utmost grace and beauty! Does that plan sound amenable to you, Raphael, Lilith, and Lucifer?" he said to them, and he almost immediantly received cries of affirmation from his little devil and archangel.

Excited that he'd get to show off his skill is flight to his master, the drake bat quick devoured the rest of his apple before tossing the core straight out of the sweator, climbed out of it himself, and then sprung off Ventus' body like a springboard to gave swift access to the sky. Raphael gave their father a sweet smile and a pleased coo at his idea, before the began to hover in place to slowly but surely gain altitude that way. Lilith, however, was nowhere near as energetic in her praise for her trainer's ideas, as she had an noble, resevered image to maintain, bar receiving sweet treats, in which decorum could go straight out of the window! Still, she knew that the idea was a sound one, especially considering her own limitation when it came to flying high in sky....which posed the question as to how she was going to reach that height to began with.

The green chimera then noticed Raphael slowly rising into the sky, their relative size, and a devious smirk flash across her face as she came up with a most ingenious idea. With nary a pause or warning, she leaped from Ventus' shoulder and straight onto his Togekiss' back, startling the both of them as she quickly grabbed hold of the normally flyer with her front wing, before pointing up to the air and letting out a demanding chirp to be taken up there with them!!! Raphael shot their master a look at this, as if to say if they really should comply to her demands, causing them to let out a sigh and a nod. Well, that's one way to familiarize yourself with you fellow teammates/family members....

Order: High Flying Training Session for all three of Ventus' Flying types while he waits for everyone to return from their errands/self appointed tasks! Let the acrobatics began!

Now he called her Poochyena 'good', now that came unxepect. Ehm... Anway, Shiva took that as a sign that he accepted apology. Also, she does better not speak out that she'd maybe enjoy to capture that ghostly pumpkin as well... Eh anyway, as she wasn't sure whether she'd train and even keep it, she felt better if he captures it, as he'll likely has better uses for a Pumpkaboo if he seemed so eager to get it (she'll ask after capture).Plus, she was interested how he'd use Apricons for capture.

"Trick-or-Treat is a scary move, and even younger exemplars of Pumpkaboo are likely to know how to use it. I read about it once, as this evolution line has been mentioned and described both in my encyclopedia of Grass and Mysterious Pokemon known... It does make the...'victim' spectral in some way, yes, by adding the Ghost Type to them. You're aware that the body of a Pumpkaboo is hosting a spirit trapped in this world, causing the Pokemon to restlessly wander at night? This spirit is it that curses the 'victim' when the move is used. I believe Lucky Chant can help to some degree, I have a Pokemon that knows and hones this move. If you have one too, shall we use that move before we approach Pumpkaboo with the aim to battle and capture it?"

"Yes, this also sounds suit! I'm training my Poochyena to deal with Ghost Types especially, so this will be a good training for him. I'll make sure he holds back on his bites."

Swooping and calling to each other, Ventus' majestic flying Pokemon work diligently on their evasion!

Togekiss and Noibat make the most progress. Togekiss actually benefits from trying to dodge while carrying a little extra weight whenever she picks up Lilith, who can circle for minutes at a time without landing.

Let's do some Evasions for those two!

Togekiss: (3)(4)(2)(1)(3) 1 bonus XP
Noibat: (6)(1)(6)(5)(5) 4 bonus XP

[Iron]

Gloom summons a Lucky Chant while Poochyena runs yipping toward Pumpkaboo!
Tandal goes sneaking around behind.

Pumpaboo: (5) +2 dex + 4 survival = 11
Tandal: (3)
Poochyena: (3)

Phew...that could have been bad for the egg...thank goodness that went a lot more smoothly than when they first found Azu...Nathan gives Yule a jar of honey as a thank you reward.  And Masq too, for doing his part in a lot of stuff despite only recently joining.

Now then...he has the egg checker app on his 'dex...seems like a good time to finally use it...

The Tynamo does not look aggressive to Heart, but it is eating voraciously! There is so much plant life in this swamp that it can eat without ceasing.

Hmm so that one is quite a ferocius hungry pokemon. Heart wish he still have any food from the dinner he make to the others. It just a few days since they make that dinner together with the others...he hopes he can do again when everything returns to normal. He could use the Oran Berry to atract the Tynamo attention...but Heart thinks it could be useful in the future so it would be a good idea to keep it. Then he tries to do something. "You are a hungry one little one. I cooker and if you wish, I could cook something to you." Then Heart show him his last peace of Tayaki magikarp (who was in half) and some dry food. Lets see if this catch his attention.

Very well then. Looks like Shiva and her butterwolfly will act as a distraction to the Pokemon-to-obtain, while the he will attempt a capture from the background for the suprise effect.

It was certainly sweet to see Yena so eager to battle and sink fangs into a Ghost type that looked some something edible. Almost a bit too eager though, so Shiva needed to make sure that he doesn't overrun it and mess up things... This called her a raised voice and clear words from her. "Well, I told you I'll look into a chance for you to bite a Ghost or Psychic Type, so there you go, dear one! However, this is no battle to see who's the stronger one of you! Instead, I want you to channel your power and deal chip damage instead of one big hit to train your stamina. Go for one Bite attack, at the same spot of your foe if you can get it. Stop when your foe looks weary to your or when I tell you to hold back more. Be good and listen to me, as I know what I am doing!"


Orders for this round: One Bite per Round, until the desired -2 Pain on Pumpkaboo is reached. I could go for evasion if Trick-or-Treat is used, but that is pointless with low dice pool and evading does not really match with a Poochyena's nature. Yena does get an order to hold back on biting force if Shiva gets the feeling he's overdoing it = when Pumpkaboo looks tired at -1 Pain. Let's hope this works and Yena does trust in his Master so freshly after bonding experience! He's still at 5/6hp from the Seaking-battle and protected by Shield Dust Ability until Worry Seed hits him.

Accuracy Roll Bite: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 0 Brawl = 5d6
Damage Roll: 3 Strength + 2 power of the move + 1 STAB = 6d6 + 1 autodamage due to SE
Additional notes: 3 CD to flinch Pumpkaboo.

Rotom's face lights up on the app. PorygonZ must have left a backdoor. However, after some experimentation, it seems to be just an image and not any sort of actual intelligence behind the face.

"Analyzing species...Checking Kanto files...Johto files...Hoenn files...Species located."
"Analyzing..."
"Expected species: Castform. DNA confidence 89%."
"Pedigree: None."
"Unusual moves: None expected."
"Gestation: 8 more days for the average trainer."

Tynamo has access to so much food he doesn't even pay attention to more food. Doesn't even look at you.
