MARCH UPDATE

POSTED ON Nov 24, 2019 2:43:13 GMT

With the introduction of Galarian Pokémon into the Hoenn region there was more than enough reason for anyone to go exploring and seeing what they could find and for someone like Samuel who had an invested interest in documenting events such as this it was no surprise he set out to survey the effects.

He ventured out to the Shoal Cave to see if there were any drastic changes here. Not any Pokémon could survive in such an environment so it will be interesting to see what new visitors make this place their new home.

hello hello

The small turtle Pokemon looks incredibly uncomfortable in the chilly environment, the little leaves on its head sagging as it looks around the Shoal Cave with trepidation.

"You are brave," Gavin tells it with arms crossed, firm but not cold. "You fought a Crobat like you could win. You can handle a little cold."

Perhaps an icy cave wasn't the best place to train a grass-type, but that was the point of this whole misadventure. For a Pokemon to survive on his team, in his line of work, they had to be willing to face danger and unlikely odds.

Spotting another man, Gavin clears his throat to make his presence known.

The Pokémon that did eventually appear were not ones that particular interested Samuel in any sort of fashion. Neither were Galar native and Samuel had no desire to catch them anyway so he’d have to wait for more to arrive.

Still, he’d document this encounter if for no other reason than for the sake of a timeline. ”Hmm?” Samuel turned around at a sudden sound coming from behind him. ”Oh hello there.” He was glad it was just another person and not some sort of angry Pokémon.

”Something I can help you with?”

hello hello

Gavin turns his attention toward the Pokemon for but a moment before he looks away, a trace of disdain colouring his otherwise neutral expression. Fully evolved. Useless, to him.

"Hello," he returns, voice echoing slightly off the walls of the cave. He shakes his head at the question. "I didn't want to startle you, is all."

His breath mists in front of him, a strange sight in Hoenn's temperate climate.

"I'm looking for Pokemon yet to evolve," he adds, with a disdainful glance toward the duo he'd already dismissed, "or perhaps something from Galar, if they've found their way here."

”Hmm well it looks like we’re here for somewhat similar reasons.” Samuel replies, referring to the search of Galarian Pokémon. ”Though it looks like our search will be longer than expected.” He added, referring to the two Pokémon that appeared.

Neither one was of any particular interest to Samuel. Though is mention of Pokémon yet to evolve was interesting. Most people would be in search for whatever the strongest Pokémon they could get their hands on and the more evolved the better so this was a refreshing change of pace.

”Why non-evolved pokemon?”

capture attempt on snorunt!

Gavin nods his agreement, only slightly disappointed by the seeming absence of new species. They are an exciting prospect, to be sure, but with all the hype surrounding them it's no surprise that they appear to be less common.

To the question, he replies, "I am an evolutionary scientist. I can't study those that have already surpassed that potential."

He could, technically, but it would require a lot more trial and error than he was willing to undertake. Much simpler to do it this way, when the wealth of information was a guarantee.

The shivering form of a Snorunt catches his attention, and Gavin tilts his head as he watches it carefully. They are native to Hoenn, he knows, confined to this frigid cave. How might they fare outside of it? He's already got a Pokeball in his hand, and he urges his Turtwig forward.

"You are outmatched," he tells the turtle, "but you will not give up. Leech Seed it first, then attack."

Turtwig does as instructed, firing a leech seed toward its target. The shuddering Snorunt turns its attention toward its assailant, protecting itself against the follow-up razor leaf. Leech seed begins to slowly sap at its health, but not before it fires off a frost breath that nearly takes out the Turtwig in one icy blast. Gavin folds his arms, impassive. Without further direction, the grass-turtle uses a giga drain that's empowered by his low health. It does little to the Snorunt, but in combination with the leech seed from earlier, Gavin's confident enough to throw a Pokeball.

Samuel didn’t respond, there was someone watching them. Hanging from the roof of the cavern, tail wrapped around stone was a Gliscor. The Pokémon looked ready to swoop down and cause a havoc which Samuel responded by releasing his Swampert.

The very sight of the Pokémon was enough for the Gliscor to swoop down and attack. As the Gliscor came closer it got within the perfect range for the Swampert to use a Rock Slide attack which grounded the Fang Scorp Pokémon. While it was trapped below the rocks, Samuel tossed an empty capsule at the Pokémon’s exposed body that was poking out of the rocks in order to capture it.

”You said evolutionary science, right?” He turned to Gavin, acting as if nothing had happened. ”Has your researched turned up something interesting? I’m curious to hear any theories you might have.”

capture attempt on onix!

Gavin watches impassively as the capture unfolds, seemingly unperturbed.

"Yes," he confirms, when the other speaks. "I have hoped to study mega evolution, in truth, though I have yet to find a Pokemon with such potential." He glances subconsciously at the Lucario's pokeball. He'd heard tell that they were capable of such a thing, but he had yet to figure out how it worked. "For now, I am content in studying the bond between trainer and Pokemon, and how that affects evolution."

He releases Lucario from its ball.

"They will not change until they trust you," he muses, as Aurus turns to the pair and cocks his head curiously. "Yet some Pokemon will evolve even under the tutelage of a loathed trainer. It's fascinating. Are they simply smarter than their brethren, or something more?"

No theories, in truth, but plenty of speculation.

There's a sudden interruption of the peace as pile of rocks reveals itself to be an Onix, its iron tail swinging toward the Lucario with impressive speed. Aurus is faster; his extreme speed helps him to dodge out of the way, but Gavin whistles sharply when the Lucario makes to retaliate.

He addresses the Turtwig. "You have an advantage. It is bigger, but not stronger. Attack."

A single razor leaf all but cripples the rock-snake, and Gavin is quick to throw a pokeball at its writhing form before it can recover. "Good."

To Samuel, he says, "You have an interest in the field? Or simple curiosity?"

”I wouldn’t mind being able to use mega evolution.” Samuel replied, smiling at the thought.

”To be able to unleash an evolution beyond what we thought was capable? I have to see what that’s like for myself.” One of these days he’d have to get one of those mega stones he heard so much about.

But alas that was for another time and he put those thoughts away and continued to listen. Truth be told he hadn’t thought much about the idea of a Pokémon’s relation to the trainer and how that affects evolution. At least not as much as this man clearly.

As Gavin busied himself with the Onix Samuel watched as two little Pokémon was watching nearby, curious about the commotion. Samuel had no interest in either of them so he’d ignore them for now. ”Just curious.” He’d answer.

”Not often you run into people like you.”
