There.[break][break]

By the look of it, however, it seemed to be unaware of his presence for the moment. Whether it had been snacking upon some nearby berries and the like, or whether it had simply been distracted by some other means, had been something of little relevance to him within those moments. In light of such a thing, he merely gave a cursory glance around him as he began to stalk towards the little creature, all while he minded his own business just as it had been doing.[break][break]

When close enough, he gave the Safari Ball within his grasp another toss and catch as if feeling the situation out before ultimately tossing it towards the unsuspecting little beast.[break][break]

He walked over to pick the ball up.[break][break]

With a softened hum, he gazed down upon it shortly after the light upon its button dimmed, gently brushing the excess dirt off of it prior to stashing it upon another portion of his belt. He took a brief pause upon feeling the rustling of two of his own companions from within their capsules, promptly pressing the buttons of both in order to release them. A soft smile tugged upon his lips at the sight of a familiar duo of draconian and avian creatures land upon the ground, chirping at one another before finding a sudden interest in a nearby Pokemon that made itself known.[break][break]

They quickly scurried over with the intention to talk, or perhaps even play, and nothing more by the look of it.[break][break]

Everything seemed peaceful enough for the time following, though before long, the man found his gaze drifting throughout the surroundings prior to settling upon a particular little creature eying him from afar, partially hidden beneath the shroud of nearby grasses. A soft, ”Oh…?” left his lips as he noticed it, at upon noting it seem to creep out of the bushes, he glanced towards his own Pokemon (seemingly still enjoying their time in the fields and nothing more), he slowly sat down and softly gestured it closer.[break][break]

Much to his surprise, he found it growing closer and closer within his sights, and even found himself holding a hand out it held both of its own towards him. Warmly did he smile, and softly did he smile, and after some minor debate, he took one of the remaining capsules he’d been given before gently tapping it atop its head.[break][break]

He eyed the button upon it before it dimmed, and he gave a softer chuckle before tucking it away safely.[break][break]

”Absolutely precious~…”[break][break]

One friend after another, it seemed.[break][break]

Not long after tucking the capsule away had he shifted his attention towards his wondering companions once more; bicolored hues briefly scanning their surroundings prior to settling upon his beloved little companions. Within the span of what could only have amounted to no more than several seconds’ worth of time, he watched as they bounded back towards him, offering quickened and seemingly excited chirps before promptly finding themselves distracted by yet another creature.[break][break]

After seeing them run towards it, he followed their trail that time around, though not without ensuring that some distance was set between them for safety and comfort. Much to his surprise, however, he eyed the trio as they seemed to share a brief mingle, all before the more vulpine of them bounded over towards him with the others in tow.[break][break]

”...Quick friends, mmn…?” he chuckled softly amidst cries and chirps in response, crouching down upon a knee and reaching out to gently scratch through the fluff around its neck. ”Mmn. It would be a shame to separate you all so quickly, then…”[break][break]

With a faintly more broadened and amused smile, he reached for the last remaining capsule he’d been given before deftly tapping it upon the fox’s head.[break][break]
