Michael's Bag wrote:Pokeball x4
Michael stared down at the red and white ball that was clasped in his hands.
What have I done?! His mind raced. It had been reflex for him to chuck the pokeball at the weakened pokemon--Michael hadn't intended to do so at any point in time. Nihmae hovered nearby, her expression what Michael could onlu describe as smug victoriousness. He groaned softly. Of all the ways he thought his journey would start off, this was not it at all. So far, he had passed out, had his starter run away, and caught a pokemon that he never meant to catch. Nihmae didn't listen to him at all. Michael gave her what he thought was a cold, hard stare, but it came off as more of an irritated squint. He sighed. This was not going well. He knew he should have stayed home.
Nihmae stared at Michael, flickering her eyes between his face and the pokeball. After a moment, he realized that she wanted him to send out the Hoppip that he had just accidentally captured.
"Uhmm..." With trembling fingers, Michael pushed the button, this time prepared for it to pop open. The beam of light formed into a blobby pink shape, solidifying into the Hoppip. It didn't look entirely pleased to be here.
"Hey, there...I'm Michael, and I guess I'm your trainer now...?"
"Pip hohoppip," the floating grass-type muttered, his gaze narrowing. (pokemon speech will be translated in parentheses for the reader. here, Hoppip is saying 'i never asked to be yours, dirty human.')
Michael opened his mouth to respond, but Nihmae got there first.
"Ghas-lyly!" (Michael is NOT dirty!) Aggression crept into Nihmae's tone.
Michael raised his hands in exhasperation.
"Hey, hey, whoa! I- uh. Don't fight, please? We can train if you want, but um...I don't really know what I'm doing. Speaking of which, you need a name, Hoppip."The Hoppip was about to say something scathing, but he was shushed by Michael raising his pokedex.
"This Pokémon drifts and floats with the wind. If it senses the approach of strong winds, Hoppip links its leaves with other Hoppip to prepare against being blown away," it chirruped out cheerfully. Michael repressed the slight grin tugging at the corners of his mouth as he imagined this specific Hoppip being on good enough terms with anyone to even attempt linking leaves.
"What about...Harr...Harold? Harold?"Harold growled something under his breath, most likely along the lines of 'you dont have the rights to name me anything, especially something as preposterous as
that,' but alas, Michael did not speak pokemon. He took the grass-type's sounds as voicing his agreement. He carefully tapped the letters on his pokedex to spell the name, rereading it three times to be sure that it wasn't spelled incorrectly this time. No more mistakes like Nihmae, even though the trainer had to admit that the misspelling didn't sound half-bad.
Once the name had been added, Michael lifted his head and glanced around.
"...do wild pokemon need to be checked for viruses..? Is that a thing...?" He studied Harold and Nihmae for a moment, the former shooting angry looks at the latter as if blaming her for everything. To be fair, it was kindof her fault.
"Either way...I should get you checked regardless. Who knows what kind of pollen you car-" the trainer was interrupted by a massive sneeze. Of course, with his luck, he'd get a pokemon that caused his asthema to go insane, and a pokemon that he was allergic too. The entire situation was laughable.
"Okay, you two, let's go get you checked out at the pokemon center!"Team Status:
