As the sun set, and the wind blew through Aaron's hair, it was soon time to start moving. Since he only had a limited amount of time here. Granted, he was only after certain types of Pokemon. His first prey of the night was barely visible inside the building. And made its presence known with a Shadow Ball. Dusknior got in the way and knocked to the side, the difference in power obvious. The large ghost threw some Shadow Punches at it. When nothing happened, the duo cautiously approached the building. Peaking inside, there was a Galarian Yamask staring at the several massive holes that Shadow Punches left. Seeing the opportunity, he threw one of his Safari Balls at it. He already had the evolved form, but a different usable build would nice to have as well. Stepping out, the five foot four blonde moved along to a different part of the zone in search of more prey.

Aaron moved on. That was one...maybe he could get some others. Walking around, he felt something brush past him. Looking down, he was missing one of his Safari Balls. Dusknoir was already moving, floating fast towards however or whatever stole it. Aaron ran after them. Jumping over logs and braving foliage, he nearly fell into a couple of basic traps. Just what stole his Safari Ball? The blonde lost track of them, and had to use his whistle to locate them, with Dusknoir using Thunderpunch to show him the way. Walking towards the light, he soon found them. A Nickit growling at the Dusknoir, behind it the Safari Ball and a bunch of berries. Aaron grabbed the ball and walked away. He heard Dusknoir hit the Nickit from the hurt howl and felt its presence behind him. Poor thing must have thought the ball was a berry. Still dumb to steal from someone with a Dusknoir...if you wanna talk about scary ghosts, he was one. Either way, Nickit wasn't a ghost or steel type, nor evolve into one, so he ignored it and moved on.

Aaron eventually ran into a Pokemon playground of some kind. While there was some nocturnal Pokemon playing, there was only one that caught his interest. Well, two, but the second one was a repeat. His eyes fell on the Mimikyu just on the outskirts. No one wanting to play with it. It looked...lonely. Walking around so he wouldn't scare the others away, he found a berry and offered it to the little guy when he sat down. A black tendril sneaked out of the disquise and snatched it. As it munched underneath the poorly made disguise, Aaron offered to play a game. After a few rounds of catch, the little guy hopped up on Ace's shoulder and started to rub his face with its own. "If you wanna come with me, we can play some more." The blonde offered up the Safari Ball. With some thumbs up encouragement from the Dusknoir, the Mimikyu booped the Safari ball and in it went. Ace had Mimikyu on his list for a while now, so he was glad to finally get one.

As soon as Mimikyu went inside his Safari Ball, the group of Pokemon playing ran off in different directions, now aware of the potential danger. That, or his Dusknoir scared them off. Of course, he didn't see which of the rustling bushes that his targets went to. The blonde randomly picked one, not wanting to be left in the dust. Sadly...that might have just happened. Frantically searching, he didn't have any luck. He did scare the crap out of a Seedot though. Thing just shook like a leaf. After a few headpats, and leaving a berry for it, Ace moved on. He guessed wrong, and now he had to really do some hunting to find his main two targets. Or something else that caught his interest. Aaron was now annoyed with the situation...but life goes on, and he couldn't just mope about at the lost opportunity.

Aaron moved on. Only to have his Dusknoir use Thunder Punch on something that tried to Headbutt him. Looking towards where the Pokemon landed, he didn't see it. It moved back into the brush. "Shadow Punch. Flush it out." Using both of his fists, Dusknoir fired off dozens of shadowy punches around in the bushes. He had to use them to punch away an Ancient Power, but otherwise, didn't work at first. Ace was patient however. It was sticking around. Soon, the little guy came charging at him. Only to meet three Shadow Punches and a Thunder Punch. A Shieldon! That was what he was looking for earlier! Taking out his third Safari Ball, he threw it at it, hoping to add it to his team.

With his main querry captured, there was one more that he wanted to get. It would be a repeat, but Lucario were generally hard hitting on both the physical and special side. Granted, it was Riolu for now...but time and training will get it to evolve. The hunt began again. Well, more like aimless wondering and hoping to get lucky. And lucky he did get. Ace's Dusknoir...not so much. For he got a Metal Claw to the face. The ghost countered with a Fire Punch, only for the little Riolu to swiftly put up a Quick Guard and deflect the punch, closing the distance again, and using Cross Chop. Okay, not too bright, but, Aaron can work with that. The surprise about the failed attack allowed Dusknoir to hit him with an Ice Punch, freezing him in place and encased in ice. Aaron took out a Safari Ball and threw it. A physical Lucario would be quite nice indeed...
