"This forest sure is weird," Tetsu muttered outloud to no one in particular as he rides his Charmeleon. Normally, riding Charmeleon in this kind of place would be a bad idea considering he could cause a forest fire, but... at the same time, he felt there are something really weird with this place... On top of it, he also carrying his own fire extinguisher... Kinda. Chalcedony, that is, the Totodile. He has been dancing nonstop since Tetsu let him out of his Pokeball, the critter...
"...How are you holding up, Sphalerite?" Tetsu asked the Charmeleon. He raised a thumb up. No problem huh. Following the trio are Riku and Rutile, once again sticking to the party. After battle with the Honedges, Rutile has gotten significantly stronger. Riku has yet gotten his fill of battle though, and is seem a bit moody because of that. Meanwhile, as guide, there's Alexandrite, who originally from the forest, and Tourmaline the Beedrill.
Today, they're here to investigate the oddities of this place... Like, why the season seem absolutely out of whack here? What's going on? Is there anything behind it or something? He can't really make any head or tail about it, but... For the meantime he can keep looking.
"Ettie, are you holding up well?" he asked just in case. He's not sure if she's feeling well after what happened with the Beedrill. It might become a trauma or something... So since a while ago he has been glancing at his friend, hoping to check if she's alright or she's feeling under the weather for whatever reason.

It'd been awhile, since they last visited the forest, wasn't it? Ettie would glance about as she rode along on Pierre's back, her pack following close behind, as everyone sniffed about at their surroundings and the air. Things here were familiar, and so there was nothing necessarily strange on the air yet; but the group would, nonetheless, stay on the alert. They remembered what happened last time, with the Beedrills, and they wanted to be readied in case another wild pokemon attack occurred....
For today though, the group would be Anne, Duchess, Princess, Ruffian, Pierre, and Prince. The first four knew what happened here, and they were familiar with the area from the first time everyone went through here. Pierre, meanwhile, made for a wonderful steed for if they needed to move quickly, whereas Prince - whilst still very much new - was a fire type who fit in well for repelling any potential aggressive grass or bug types, if they did end up running into another.
As Tetsu spoke up though, asking Ettie how she was holding up, the young girl would blink a bit, before glancing over in his direction. "Yeah!" She'd confirm with a nod and smile. "I'm okay; I've been okay since we first stepped in here, silly!" Ettie added in tease; reaching over to try and poke Tetsu on the nose. Certainly, the Beedrill attack had been scary - and certainly, going fight or flight tended to drain Ettie emotionally. But once she had gotten some proper rest, and spent some time getting to know Prince, she had felt a whole lot better!
All that was on her mind right now, really, was figuring out what was up with this strange forest - as well as actually finding a proper place for them all to set up at. Her pack was starting to grow, so she wanted a territory that they could all run free in...! And on top of that, Tetsu wanted his training grounds, too! So, in a way, this trek through the forest had multiple goals in mind - and Ettie was hoping to figure them all out, somehow! "What do you think's caused all of this, Tetsu?" The young girl would soon ask though, as she glanced over to him. "I've never seen anything like this before; besides... Maybe when a pokemon makes it super sunny? Except it's been sunny all day!"

Tetsu Asterite Ettie A random event has occurred!Traveling toward the northeast of the Emerald Forest was a lot easier now that they were familiar with some of the forest's trails. There were piles of snow that made the first hour of travel difficult, but the snow seemed to melt off gradually as the two headed northeast. The farther north the two went, the warmer and more bug-infested it got. The constant presence of Metapod and Kakuna hanging from trees reminded them that this was still Beedrill country...

"Muh," Tetsu pouted as he got touched on the nose. "I'm really worried about you, you know..."
Ettie might be sweet, but he noticed that the girl's emotions was much more pronounced than civilized humans. How to say... she's honest, very honest... The honesty that you can see from tons of Pokemons in the wild who stays true without lying the slightest. With that in mind, Tetsu thought that she would still feel negatively about the Beedrills. But looks like she's not.
He ruffled her hair in turn. "...Well, if you're alright then that's what's important."
But Ettie is right. The sudden change of temperature is not right... Can he really smell any hint of the cause? Perhaps some kind of volcanic activity? But even volcanic activity shouldn't make the area felt like Spring... What's going on even? As they gone in deeper, Tourmaline would buzz at him. Signing that she'll be the one to guide them from this point on. Considering that she was one of the alpha, he understood her intention and let her guide, hoping that it would show the other Beedrill line Pokemon that they meant no harm.
"Hmmm... if it's sunny day as you say... well, Sunny Day is a hard to use move consecutively. It's basically magnifying the sun's natural intensity to higher degree. Even if the sun is out and all that, it wouldn't cause such shift when it's winter like this. It would also not gonna work as much when for example the sun is out, at night for example. I... think... it would only work for five minutes. So unless someone has been continuously using sunny day alteringly for five minutes each, I think it's hard to even keep up, much less making the climate get to point of being really warm like this...
...So my theory is there is someone who creates this climate artificially... or it's something that have to do with the natural phenomenon of the place... or finally..."
Tetsu doesn't want to say the last one, but it's possible. "...Presence of a Legendary Pokemon."

As Ettie's hair was ruffled, the young child would giggle briefly; her aura-tail wagging, as she reached over to ruffle Tetsu's own hair back! "I worried about you, too, when that Beedrill got angry at you," She would point out - her expression briefly flickering with concern. Seeing a friend in danger had been partially what really set off her fight or flight, before, after all. "So let's just look out for each other, as packs do, okay?"
As if to prove her point, Duchess would yip and nuzzle against Tetsu's side, the Electrike's tail swishing eagerly. <You are friend! You are packmate!>
Before long though, as the group began crossing over into this strange spring-summer climate of the forest, they would begin discussing over what must be causing all of this. As Tetsu pointed out the issues with Sunny Day, Ettie would hum, frowning a bit. "Some pokemon just make it sunny and warm by just being there, though." She'd point out - adding "And if there's a whole pack of super-strong pokemon doing it, well..." ... If they did it in big enough numbers, and for long enough, the warmth would begin lingering, right? It wouldn't all immediately become super cold instantly! "... They'd be able to maintain it, right?"
The suggestion of a Legendary Pokemon, however, would bring pause to Ettie as she cocked her head. "Legendary Pokemon?" She'd ask. Neither she nor Anne knew what Tetsu meant by that term - but the more civilized canids of the group would be quick to fill in.
<Strongest of the strong...> Pierre spoke amost nervously. <Control nature, is nature itself.>
<Maintain world.> Princess added with a brief yawn.
Even Ruffian seemed unsure about discussing Legendary Pokemon at length, simply stating <Are no joke.> with a twitch of his ears. <Demand respect.>
<But some nice, even if noone sees!> Duchess would add as well, tail wagging.
<...> Prince, however, remained silent; shyly glancing away as he stared out into the surrounding woods.
This seemed to get Ettie's eyes to light up in acknowledgement, nodding slowly. "... Mama and Papa spoke of spirits, sometimes; this sounds a bit like that..." She'd murmur thoughtfully; glancing out ahead of them. "... Would a Legendary Pokemon really be in this forest, though?" She'd soon ask, however; tilting her head the other way. "This seems pretty close to where humans live... I'd think that Legendary Pokemon might live further away from humans, you know?"
Nonetheless though, the group would continue on; being mindful of the Metapods and Kakuna in the area, to avoid angering any more local bug-types.

Tetsu Asterite EttieA random event has occurred!As the two brave explorers and their Pokémon wandered forward, the smell of something smoldering wafted toward their nostrils. Peering down, the two noticed a trail of Larvesta scales leading off the beaten path, but still in their general direction. Whatever left these was really far away from its home. What few wild Pokémon were near the trail seemed to scamper away.

Tetsu smiled as Ettie reached to his head and ruffled his hair. "It's alright, I'm strong," he reiterated just as usual, flexing an arm... yet, there is a slight hint of change on that smile. "But you're right, I'll be counting on you too. Like a pack. I'll deal with anything that need strength. I'll be counting on you to deal with things I'm not good on, alright?" Tetsu offered a fistbump, before he remembered that Ettie... had instead decided to put her hand there instead of fistbumping him. The memory of that day's meeting made him chuckle.
"And of course thank you too, Duchess. Boy, you're a cute Electrike aren't you?" he scratched the Pokemon behind her ears. "Who's the good girl, huh? Who's the good giiii~~rl~?"
Hmm, that's indeed a good question. ".......That... hm, how to say... I guess if they concentrated themselves in single spot, they could... probably? Maybe that's the case, but in case of a Legendary Pokemon... well, just their presence alone was enough to cause a storm in half of a region for example. But that is the legendary is awake. If they're dormant, there are some chance that it'll be like this..."
Oh what's a legendary Pokemon huh... "...That's basically catch term by most researcher... Pokemons that are so powerful that they goes down in history. They tend to be very unique. And by very unique I mean REALLY unique, only one in existence. It's not known if they can reproduce... so many historian chalked it that they're practically immortal."
Tetsu took out a book from his bag. Illustrated book, that is. "Here," he ordered Sphalerite to walk closer to Pierre so he can show Ettie the book. "This one is the legend of Unova's dragon. Unova is where I came from... The legend first foretell of two brothers. With help of a single powerful dragon, they created Unova. From the lakes, to the mountain, to the meadow... with the dragon's might, they created a land for them and their follower. The two brothers however had a disagreement. The elder brother seeks for "truth" of the world, while the younger brother seek to shape Unova in his "ideal". The brother bickered, had a spat... and eventually the disagreement tore them apart. The dragon in response split into two. Reshiram the Truth, and Zekrom the Ideal. A Fight waged between the two dragon and two brothers and their follower. The brothers noticed that none of the dragon are winning, which means what they seek was both valid, and they set aside their difference... yet their children think otherwise, and the war began anew. The dragons, thinking that the war was now meaningless and that humans will keep warring as long as they hold power, razed the region with lightning and fire and then vanished.
People thought that it was only a myth... until few years ago that Team Plasma's "king" N obtained one of the dragon in his bid to create a world free of suffering for Pokemon. He was challenged by other dragon, alongside of the dragon's respective hero. For once, N's dragon lose, proving that he was misguided in his ideal, and that team Plasma was only using him. Now the whereabouts of the two dragons are not known."
Tetsu ended his story there. "Oh but don't worry, there haven't been any disaster from the dragon's awakening at all, so Unova is fine and all."
...But his words cut short by a bark from Riku. "Hmm? What's up?"
He pointed at the scales on the ground. Tetsu blinked and dismounted from the Charmeleon. "...Let's see... huh, aren't this... aren't this Larvesta scales? ...But what are they doing here? I thought they're more to arid type Pokemon, or desert dwelling Pokemon..."
...Hmm, if it's Larvesta, then... "Wait they don't really have Drought as their ability... Something must be up."

Tetsu would reassure Ettie with a mention of his strength - and she'd giggle a bit as he flexed his arm in response. However, it was more reassuring just to know that he was counting on her, as a pack does, in the event that anything came along that he wasn't able to handle on his own. "Of course!" She would respond with a bright smile - not even hesitating to place her hand over the fistbump that Tetsu offered once more, and giving his hand an affectionate squeeze. It seemed that noone had told her that that still wasn't how you're typically supposed to respond to fistbumps...
As Tetsu's attention turned towards Duchess though, the Electrike's tail would begin wagging eagerly - snuggling her body right up against Tetsu's side as he began scratching her behind the ears. <I'm good girl, right?? Right??> She'd yip in response, her fur beginning to spark a little from her building excitement.
<Don't shock him,> Anne would gently remind Duchess, briefly nuzzling the Electrike as she passed by the two.
<I know, I know!> Duchess responded, giggling a bit before she'd proceed to shake herself off to burn off any excess energy. If she got too excited, then she was prone to causing static shocks from her fur - although she would be careful to try and avoid shocking Tetsu like that!
As the subject of Legendary Pokemon came up though, Tetsu would begin to explain both what they were, and even talking about a tale of some legendaries from his own homeland. Curious, the young girl's aura-ears would perk a bit as he described Reshiram, Zekrom, the singular dragon they were both born from, as well as the aftermaths that came with their presence. It certainly painted a picture, of just how powerful - but also strange - Legendary Pokemon were, being born of concepts just as much as being powerful pokemon in their own rights...
Just what kind of Legendary Pokemon were out there in the world, waiting to be discovered?
Shortly after the story was told though, Riku - alongside the other pups - would collectively notice something strange. Larvesta scales, scattered amongst the grass, in a trail leading off into the woods... <... Strange.> Anne would comment, looking the scales over and briefly sniffing them. <Never seen, in forest...>
<But is fire type...> Ruffian muttered, ears flicking a bit. He wasn't sure what these scales came from, but he could certainly identify by the scent that these belonged to a fire type pokemon... Was this the source of all of the strange weather here?
"Hmm..." Ettie hummed in thought - listening to both her pups, and Tetsu's own comments, over the scales. Larvestas didn't have Drought for an ability, typically, but... "... Maybe they're the pokemon using Sunny Day then?" She'd wonder out loud, tilting her head a bit. In any case though, she would begin guiding Pierre to follow the trail of scales, mentioning to Tetsu in suggestion "We might something, if we track down the Larvesta these scales belong to; c'mon!"
As the pack got moving, Duchess would briefly nuzzle Prince - prompting the Fennekin to jump a little in surprise. <Come on, friend!> She'd chirp. <Let's follow! Find pokemon!>
<... Yeah.> Prince would soon respond softly, as the surprise faded into that familiar feeling of uncertainty. <Coming.>

Tetsu Asterite EttieA random event has occurred!The trail of Larvesta scales led back to the clearing where the explorers had rescued Molly. It further led to a cave mouth, wrought into the Hallelujah Mountains to the north. The tallest mountain range in Ageos, its geothermal activity was known to be the power source for a small town atop the mountains, isolated from the rest of the region. From the cave mouth radiated a large amount of heat. While it appeared to be traversable for humans, it might be uncomfortable for those who lived in or preferred colder climates.

Tetsu already anticipated it but he can't help but to laugh when Ettie does what he expected... squeezing his fist. "You're so precious you know that?" he cooed while ruffling her hair again. "By the way, the usual way is to bump your fist on mine. it means "I have your back and you have mine"... but hey, I prefer it like this. It can be our special way of fistbumping! No problem, no problem~"
Duchess was cute too, but the buzzing of electricity did alert him. "Heh, looks like I made you build up too much static huh? Well I better get a rubber glove ready whenever I want to rub your stomach!"
Hmmm... as expected, huh... This is getting a bit too mysterious for his liking. What can cause such migration anyway?
<Larvesta, Tetsu likes> Riku commented. <Can be ridden.>
<Ah,> Rutile rolled her eyes, remembering the silliness her trainer got when he saw a really huge Larvesta for the first time. <Strange Pokemon, he likes.>
"Hmm, Larvesta does learn Sunny Day I think. Their evolution, Volcarona apparently ever treated as the sun's replacement when there was a huge volcano exploded. Its ashes blocked the sunlight, and so without the sunlight it was so cold. And then, Volcarona apparently warmed them all back up. It's also known to be very benevolent to anyone who are in need of warmth. But at the same time it's known for how fierce its Fiery Dance are," Tetsu commented.
Their journey led them to a geothermal cave it seems... Tetsu squinted. The air is hot, and honestly he's not sure that he could even hold on if it's that hot... But...
"Hey, so, uh... do you want to come in, Ettie? I personally want to see this to the end, but... I won't blame you if you want to stop here," he told his companion. "It's gonna be hot."
Readying himself, he takes off his shirt jacket, stashing them away. "Chal," he called out his Totodile, who turned around to face him. "Spray me."
The Totodile happily blasted water at Tetsu, wetting him enough. "Keep blasting water at me every ten minutes, alright?"
The Totodile nodded. Sphalerite also roared, saying that he would remind Chalcedony when the time comes. Tetsu's group decides that they will enter the cave.

At being called precious, that seemed to get a reaction out of Ettie; the young girl blinking a bit quizzically, before her aura-tail began wagging, as if she were unsure of how to react to the compliment (but nonetheless regarding it as a positive!) The subsequent hairruffle though, was enough to snap out of that - breaking out in happy giggles as she reached her hands up to squeeze at the offending hand affectionately.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner that isn't how you do it, then, silly??" She'd question with a laugh; clearly untroubled by it all, if the way she'd attempt to ruffle Tetsu's hair with both hands (and nearly falling off of Pierre's back in the process, much to the Furfrou's concern!) was of any indication.
Duchess, meanwhile, couldn't help a giggle as Tetsu teased her - responding with a playful nip at the young boy's hand, as her tail continued to wag. <Friend fun!> Certainly, her fur did get a bit sparky and crackly sometimes, but surely it wasn't thaaaaat bad, was it? Either way, she was looking forward to the notion of belly rubs! Belly rubs felt great!
However, as they investigated the trail of Larvesta scales, Riku and Rutile would discuss over the pokemon; to which Ettie tilted her head curiously, asking the two pups "How does riding a Larvesta work, if it's a strange pokemon?" with a curious hue. Was it a pupa pokemon like Metapod or Kakuna? How would riding those work, now that she thought about it?
<How does ride Beedrill, wonder...?> Princess couldn't help but muse with a brief yawn; although Ruffian, in response, grumbled <Enough Beedrill to last life. Don't wanna think more.> in an exasperated fashion. It seemed he still had some hard feelings, over having nearly gotten knocked down a peg during the fight they had run into during the previous visit.
Before long though, Tetsu would explain Larvesta and Volcarona both to Ettie; something that the young girl and pups would all listen closely to. From the sounds of things, Volcarona was a powerful fire pokemon - and though it is typically benevolent, it was also quite fearsome... Briefly, Ettie couldn't help but frown to herself, a thought starting to occur to her as they approached the cave - and though Tetsu thought it to be geothermal, the young girl wasn't quite so sure of that...
"... If this is where a Volcarona lives... Do you think we might be intruding on its territory, wandering in here?" She questioned, half-hypothetically, as she continued to follow after Tetsu. The heat certainly was going to be a bit of a pain, but she was okay for now, and she was also sure that she could switch out one of the packmates for Aurien if she needed to cool off. "Maybe we should be careful..."
The pups themselves were certainly making sure to be aware of their surroundings; a certain wariness falling over them, as soon as they had noticed Ettie's own. <I keep lead.> Anne would state to the others, in a firm tone. <Rock type strongest against fire, out of us.>
<Can fight, if need, too!> Ruffian retorted sharply, insisting upon taking the lead himself. This wariness had him agitated - eyes darting about for any sign of a potential fight. <I hit just fine!>
<Keep position.> Anne would growl back, however, nudging Ruffian back a little with her head. <If threat there, I take brunt.>
Ruffian couldn't help but growl in irritation in response; though wouldn't argue further. Fine, let her take on all the risk - he'll just get all the glory when she gets herself fainted.
<... Would... fire help? If fight start?> Prince was next to wonder out loud, ever-so-softly; he didn't necessarily even realize he was speaking. Duchess, however, was quick to speak up next, reassuring <Is fine! Any help good!> as she nuzzled the unsure Fennekin. She had to keep spirits up, somehow, after all!

Tetsu Asterite EttieA random event has occurred! The sound of bubbling magma echoed as the two delved deeper into the dimly-lit cave, its walls glowing in deep shades of red. It was certainly hot, but Chalcedony was doing a great job at keeping Tetsu and his team cool. As Ettie turned a corner, she spotted the green buds of a Bulbasaur resting against the sides of the cave's widening pass. Upon closer examination, their bodies looked very different, camouflaging with the deep-red wall! STATS

Riku honestly a bit nervous because now that he's Lucario, he have weakness toward fire type... Which means Larvesta is totally out, Fire/Bug type as it is definitely isn't good typing against him. He don't have anything to fight them... But well, at the same time he's more attuned to aura compared to before. The Lucario took the lead, his red eyes glows slightly. Tetsu meanwhile lets Ettie ruffle his hair.
"Well you looked so happy! Like heck I could tell you that it's wrong~ I don't want your face to drops, you know? I love your smile after all... it's so calming. Yep, like right now! You really have great smile!"
Duchess' eagerness made Tetsu chuckle. "Yeah yeah, alright I'll bellyrub ya later, Duchess. First we gotta find what's up, then we'll get to finding a spot for training ground and den. Sounds good?"
How does one ride a Larvesta? "...Just hop onto it?" Tetsu replied. "It's a bit odd though, mainly because they 'hover' through help of their flames. They're a bit slow because they're kind of... worm-like, just the same like Caterpie and Weedle, only ridiculously bigger and so they usually would use their strings to pull themselves forward, just swing and such. Here, this is how they looks," Tetsu showed Ettie how the Larvesta looked like.
Tourmaline seems to hear Princess' and Ruffian's musing <Loud shaggy pup dislikes Beedrill? Beedrill dislikes intruder. You intrude, you got stung. We, protect nest.> and then turns her head toward Princess <Sleepy underbite pup should watch the human rides me. Such glee, he felt. Human strange... but not bad. I acknowledge him. He strong.>
"I agree," Tetsu answered to Ettie's concern. "But at the same time we might be the only one it can come to ask for help... It's not a common situation and so I wanted to help as much as I can."
Rutile heard what Anne said and immediately moves forward too. <Follow me, close behind. I will be shield.>
<Brown pup, shows bravery. Admirable.> Tourmaline commented. <Back I shall take.>
<Leave it to you> Riku answered to Rutile. <Will continue to watch aura>
<Will watch for potential danger> Sphalerite told the rest <Will protect Tetsu. Friends no worry>
Inside, Tetsu looked aroudn for any sign of Pokemon... Nothing yet. The bubbling sound of magma was unmistakable that Riku hissed from the discomfort caused by the heat. Chalcedony immediately uses his water gun at him, earning a silent nod of thanks from the Lucario. Tetsu... looked toward where Ettie is and...
<Wait.>
Riku stopped Sphalerite, and in turn Tetsu. <Aura, different. Fire, Grass. Never seen Pokemon like that before.>
"...Huh? ...Huh... you're right. That aura is definitely grass and fire type together, but there haven't been any recorded Pokemon of such typing!"
Sphalerite sniffed <...Smells like smoked grass.>
"...Mmm, if possible I'd like to befriend it... Let's see..."
Tetsu dismounted from Sphalerite. "Hello there... Sorry to bother you a bit little one... Do you think you can spare us some of your time? I'm wondering what you're doing here, and... are you in need of help? If you are, we're here to... to discover what's up with this place, you see... And well... are you alone? Do you see some Larvesta? If you're alone, would you like to come with me perhaps? I'm a Pokemon trainer and I have a Bulbasaur with me too. I think you're different typing from her, but... I think you two would get along swimmingly. She's really kind you know."
...What is he doing he have no idea but oh well.
Tetsu attempts to befriend the Bulbasaur with Nest Ball. If fail, he asked the Bulbasaur the question and hopes that it'll help him.

As Tetsu explained how riding a Larvesta worked, Ettie would blink, before nodding a bit. "I mean... Any pokemon you ride by hopping on it, I think!" She would clarify with a brief giggle, "But when Rutile said it was strange, I figured that there was something a bit unique about riding a Larvesta!" Seeing the picture that Tetsu would show her though, as well as hearing his explanations of how a Larvesta tended to move, both did confirm that it would make an odd ride pokemon. A neato one, for sure! But still, nonetheless, odd.
As Tourmaline snarked at Ruffian though, the Lillipup would growl and grumble in response. <Could beat, here and now.> He'd challenge the Beedrill as he briefly bared his fangs; though Anne was quick to interject, declaring <No fighting. Not here. Save for later.> with a glare in Ruffian's direction. For a few moments, both pups would tensely stare each other down - Ruffian's displeasure at being made to stand down clear - but the Lillipup would, nonetheless, eventually avert his eyes with an irritated growl. <Fine.>
The other pups - Prince, Duchess, and Pierre - would all let out half-relieved sighs, glad to see that a fight wasn't going to break out in the middle of unknown territories.
However, as the group continued along, they would all soon come across something interesting; namely, the scent of an unfamiliar pokemon. Collectively, the pack would sniff about some - not even Anne knowing what to make of this - and the group would make their way to follow the scents. However, before long, they would find the source of this strange new scent - an odd-looking Bulbasaur!
<Hello, hello!> Duchess would greet the Bulbasaur, her tail wagging; and Anne would dip her head in greeting, politely apologizing <Pardon intrusion.>
<Exploring.> Princess would state simply. <Investigating weather.>
Tetsu would take the lead in interacting with the odd little pokemon, though; and Ettie was more than happy to allow him to try befriending it - kneeling down and keeping a respectful distance from the fire-grass type, to avoid making it uncomfortable. "Never seen a fella like you before..." She'd breathe - mostly talking to herself - with a curious hue, tilting her head a bit. Would there be more pokemon, like this Bulbasaur, in the cave...?

Tetsu Asterite The wild Bulbasaur considers your offer...sVq2Yn2rp_...and taps your Nest Ball in approval!The wild Bulbasaur has been captured successfully! One Nest Ball has been removed from your inventory. --- Ettie A random event has occurred!Not quite wanting to enter the Nest Ball quite yet, the Bulbasaur lead the two deeper into the geothermal cave, where the temperature continues to rise. While not unbearable yet, it was definitely uncomfortable for humans, and would almost certainly become unbearable if they continued down the narrow rock cliff on the left side, overlooking a lake of bubbling magma quite far below. It was wide enough for humans to cross, but they might need to sidle in places. There was another, much wider path leading downward on the right side, many wild and rare Fire-type Pokémon wandering there. Several Houndour and Magmar were included in the gathering. The Larvesta scales seemed to follow the narrow path. It was a good thing Chalchedony was keeping everyone cool!
