There was a speck of blue that caught his eye.[break][break]

For a slightly longer amount of time, he found himself eying the waters some ways away; azure hues only eying the drake that had traveled out with him for a moment (watching as he seemed content with picking around and taking in the sights for himself, as well) before turning his attention towards the shelled creature once more. Reaching over towards his belt, he gently pried a pouch hooked onto it open, fishing out a couple of snacks that he’d brought along for the aforementioned dragon whenever they took their walks.[break][break]

”Well, aren’t you just a beauty~?” he cooed, offering the Pokemon a soft gaze and smile, alike, as he walked over. Upon closing in enough, he knelt by the water’s edge and held the treats out. After a few, cursory sniffs, he was content to see it happily nibble them from his hand, and after a quick chance to gently pat its head, he watched as it gradually began to turn and swim back towards the falls. While not quite a prayer in itself, he did hope that it would be able to take care.[break][break]

...Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful~.[break][break]

(tl;dr: skipping!)

Not too long after the beautiful blue had taken its leave, the Rocket member found himself eying the falls for a small while longer before finally beginning to shift, once more. With a soft breath and sigh, he rested the heel of his palm against a knee just seconds prior to pushing down upon it, and by extension, allowing leverage to ease himself back up.[break][break]

Soon after, he’d end up doing a double take.[break][break]

Another scan of the scenery was all he’d intended to do, but at the sight of a certain, spinning and rotating creature, he couldn’t help but find himself equally confused and mesmerized. With a cursory glance sent towards his Pokemon in the distance, he debated for a small while. Before ultimately walking over towards the sigil-like creature to observe it. The closer he seemed to get, the more of an energy akin to a will-o-wisp he’d seen exuberated from its form- but in any case, the display really only seemed instinctive instead of hostile.[break][break]

After some thought, he smiled slightly before reaching down to a free capsule hooked onto his belt, gently tapping it on its-...[break][break]

...Head?[break]
Eye?[break][break]

Fuck if he knew, honestly. Either way, he tapped it softly onto its form, watching with an ongoing curiosity as it warped its way into the ball in the familiar, wispy way that other Pokemon did when called and recalled.[break][break]

(tl;dr: catch attempt!)
