it begins

After finishing some business in Rustboro, he heads south from the city—because he’s caught news of the Bug-Catching contest. While he already has Lancelot and Tristan, he’s looking for versatility.

The moment he gets word that the League is going to be supplying them with a near-infinite number of Sport Balls to catch the Bug-types with, well…

One can already guess what happens when “free” and “Pokémon” happen to be in the same sentence in Lars’s brain. Making tracks as fast as he could, he stops by the nearby flower shop at the edge of the little idyllic lake close to the forest, to borrow the free-to-use PC that they have in there, and brings with him only his two usual.

With them, this should be more than enough.

Once he’s finished, he’s also given some jars of honey by the youngest of the sisters who tend the shop, hoping that he would be able to use it in some way to lure out the prettiest Bug-types there are.

Oh, what that little girl didn’t know wouldn’t hurt her, right?

Done with the registration and handed a bag of shrunken-down Sport Balls, he’s then shooed into the vast thickness of Petalburg Forest. Hell, he’s only been here a few times before, so he finds it rather easy to get lost here.

tick tock, the clock runs like mad!

The first thing that drops next to him is a smiling—wait, what the actual hell?

A smiling—if there was one thing that almost freaked him out of his skin it was this particular Pokémon! Even if there were so-called superheroes who went by such silly monikers like Spinarak-man, how in the ten circles of the Inferno could he like this?!

“Seriously?” he says with a growl, having to back up unceremoniously as he quickly lobs the Heavy Ball forward, watching as Ro materializes from the red flash of light.

The Spinarak’s on the move, a Night Slash unleashed—but it’s blocked by an almost-invisible wall; a Telekinesis hoists it and drags it down to the Metagross’s near-eye level. “Uh oh,” is all Lars has the time to say, before Ro rears back and quickly slugs the smaller Pokémon with one of his four ‘arms’ in a Bullet Punch attack.

Hearing the arachnid shriek, it tries to spit out Toxic Threads but to no avail—the blessing of Ro being a Steel-type. Lars then hears a grating noise coming from Ro, which he takes as laughter, before the Metagross lifts it up again and slams it with a Psychic, pinning it to a nearby tree.

“Th—thanks,” he says, quickly taking out the first of many Sport Balls and tossing it at the Spinarak.

stress relief!

The assault continues.

No sooner has the Spinarak been absorbed into the beam of red light a cohort makes its appearance—and for some damn reason it looks like a fucking guitar. What the hell, man?

What was up with Arceus when he made the world?

Snorting, he pats Ro’s head. “Look, at this point we’re here to release stress. Do what you have to, but don’t wreck the forest,” he says—and it’s these words that the Metagross takes to heart, quickly lifting up the Kricketune with a Telekinesis attack before it can even start spitting out a Sticky Web.

Knowing that it was going to be disgusting, Lars backs away, watching as another application of Telekinesis diverts the Kricketune’s attack back at it, before another burst of Psychic energy pins it to the same tree where the Spinarak had been a few moments ago.

“Well that was quick,” Lars mutters, ready to throw the next Sport Ball when it starts to screech a loud Taunt. He lets out a snort, Ro grates out an indignant noise, and the Metagross slugs it again with another Psychic to shut it up.

The red beam of light saves it from the incoming Bullet Punch as a result.

threats?!

How was Lars supposed to know that the weird guitar-shaped Pokémon he just captured actually had a family somewhere? He was met with the sight of the smaller, not so weird-looking, non-musical instrument version of the one he’d caught just a few moments ago.

“Ro. Don’t be too hard on it,” he warns the Metagross. While he knows that Ro needs to destress, there was still a fine line between outright violence and stress relief.

However just like his mother, the Kricketot tried to spit out a Sticky Web in the hope of bogging the big, scary Metagross down. The Telekinesiswas too fast for it to pick up, and it was lifted up—this time, to Lars’s eye level.

“What the hell, Ro?” he asks the blue hulking beast, and he gets the grating noise he’s learned to interpret as ‘laughter’ in answer. “Seriously?” he adds a few moments later, before he puts on his Ranger-issue gloves and takes the Kricketot from where it’s floating, letting out a squeal of shock.

“Look. Come quietly and he won’t get violent,” he warns the little Bug-type quietly. While he didn’t want to paint Ro as a ‘bad guy’ in front of the young one, he had no choice. “You don’t want to see him angry at all…”

With that the Kricketot lets out a distressed cry, before curling up in his hands and falling asleep there.

“Painless and easy,” he says, tapping it on the head with another Sport Ball and watching as it got sucked within the containment unit in a flash of red light.

it continues

Getting the younger bug was simple—and then another discordant racket ripped through the area.

Gee, was it swarming season this time of the month? He couldn’t remember if it was or not. Sighing, he looks up at the incoming Vivillon and very nearly gets swept out of the way because of a powerful Hurricane coming from such a tiny little thing!

“Well… feel free to try that on him,” he says, pointing in Ro’s direction. As the Vivillon winds up for another Hurricane, the Metagross is faster—launching another Telekinesis and forcing it to come as close as it can while glaring up at it with its beady red eyes.

The little Vivillon lets out a shriek, before a Bullet Punch sends it flying towards the nearest tree. Before it can hit the tree, though, another beam of red light comes flying from Lars’s direction.

Was this really a Bug-Catching contest or a way to thin out the overabundant Bug-type population in the forest…?

they're everywhere

After the weird-looking butterfly was captured, another one made its appearance. While it didn’t look as fabulous as the earlier one, this one still looked pretty unassuming—however at the same time it was quite dangerous to assume things that weren’t true. Whoops.

A Psybeam attack is the trigger for Lars to leap out of the way, before the attack crashes with a blast of Psychic from the much-larger Metagross. Ro has already planted himself in the spot, and there’s no way he’s going to be moving from there now.

The big blue beast squints at the Butterfree, as if daring it to come closer—and a barrage of Air Slash attacks rain down upon it, but thankfully he’s not too fazed by the attacks as they’re just mere tickles to him. A second Psychic forces the Butterfree down, before he stomps one foot down and then releases a singular powerful Meteor Mash.

“Whoa, that’s too much!” Lars calls from the spot where he’d fallen, but he chases the Butterfree down with another Sport Ball, throwing it at the fallen dual-type.

What would be coming next?!

omg Ro. LOL

Once the Butterfree had surrendered to the beam of red light, there was a reprieve.

“Thank hell,” Lars said with a sigh, wiping sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. “Ro, you think we’re in the—“ he’s about to say when the ground rumbles once again.

Oh, come on! Are you kidding me?! He thought in a panic as the sound of something flying was the only warning he was going to get as the single biggest rock that he’d ever seen came flying their way.

“Ro!” he shouts—but the Metagross is faster. With the reaction time, a Telekinesis barely stops the rock from giving Lars a concussion that would send him into next week. For a few moments, the Metagross struggles, before managing to divert the incoming projectile back at the Dwebble, in an attempt to intimidate the other Pokémon.

Thankfully, the rock doesn’t squash the Dwebble flat. Instead, it tries to come in close with a Bug Bite move—but a Psychic pummels it towards the giant-ass rock and it smacks there with a sickening noise.

“Oh, damn, that’s nasty,” Lars says with a cringe as he throws another Sport Ball at the passed-out Dwebble.

omg Ro. LOL

While Lars was busy trying to keep track of what the hell they’d managed to catch so far, he failed to notice that there was a small Venipede that was attempting to sneak up on Ro and drown the Metagross in a Toxic bath, although of course due to his part-Steel typing, this was all but negated.

The human had almost not noticed that there was something attacking his companion—at least until he smelled a noxious odor coming from the Metagross’s direction. “Ro…? You might… want to look down,” he mutters, tilting his head down at the little bugger that had been trying to suffocate the huge beast in a Toxic pool of powerful poisons.

“Whoops,” he mutters a few moments later, backing away to give the Metagross enough room. In the blink of an eye, a Telekinesis forces the Venipede to float so that it meets the much-larger Pokémon’s red, unnerving stare. Letting out a shriek of horror, the little bug attempts a Venoshock attack—only for it to absolutely not work at all.

“…actually, I could have you and Alpha spread out in two directions, but I know you need more of the stress relief,” he says as the Metagross bats at the Venipede with a blast of Psychic, sending it skittering towards a big rock, the better to bash its head in and knock it out.

“Calm down, Ro, you’re getting slightly murderous there,” he adds a few moments later as he throws another Sport Ball at the Venipede.

Just how many Bug-types were there around here, anyway?!
