As he stalked around nearly arriving at Foretree, he began to feel a bit lonely. He reached for scruffs of fur that weren't there; a warmth at his side.
Up ahead the brush parts and a Houndoom stalks out, lapping is tongue as it pauses to size up Adrian. Holding up his palm, Adrian backs up before checking for tags. By the look of its fur, Adrian wondered if it wasn't feral after all; it hardly looked like anyone was taking care of the thing.
At least it's not rabid. Maybe I can catch it...
Soon enough a pokeball appeared in his hand, though he was reluctant to approach the Houndoom so brazenly. And yet it hardly seemed fazed until his arm pitched back for the throw.
It tensed, freezing up as the ball hurtled towards Houndoom, securing it in a pokeball. But the canine eventually won free, and darted away.
Dammit...! Adrian follows it in pursuit, following the creature as well as anyone might. And eventually his persistence was rewarded when he rediscovered it huddled within a grotto. Shivering.
It was strange for Adrian to see such an outwardly confrontational pokemon be so docile.
"Sh, sh-shhh... I don't wanna hurt you."
Memories of Howitzer come to the surface, but he is quick to clear his mind. Reaching out to the Houndoom slowly, having exchanged the pokeball for a berry, Adrian tries to lure the pokemon into reach. And it works wonderfully... over time.
After securing the pokemon's trust, he was able to coax it to follow him. But as they cross into Foretree City, Adrian can't help but wondered whether it wasn't more wicked to take the pokemon into his care, knowing the danger he'd put it through, versus current conditions...
...
I'll just have to earn the devotion they show me... ...Sounds like a nice resolution. Capturing Houndoom. New Year's Resolution(?)
