Adrian came hurtling in on his corviknight, Reign, landing on a rocky outcropping sitting within view of Sootopolis' cratered barrier. After finding his footing on the pale granite, Adrian waved his pokemon off, allowing it to range freely while he withdrew a fishing rod and tackle box.

While he took his seat upon his perch overlooking the open sea, he struggled to bait his hook and select his lure, fiddling with everything while trying to get into the mind of his quarry. Eventually he settled on a neon red spinner, applying a few weights before he was ready to give it a shot. His tongue stuck out as he brought back his fishing line, flinging it forward and letting the reel fly...

It landed in the distance with a plop, not that he could hear it over the waves crashing against stone. He gave the line a few sharp tugs, reeling until it became taut, then tugged one more time before letting it drift with the tide. Now to wait.


Route 126 - Water / Ghost

Please send a [Female] Feebas our way, I beg of you, my good Sir. I implore you to consider it.

“Good day for it.” Petra descends shortly after the other trainer, her ride coming in the form of a Dragonair by the name of Nymeria. “Mind if I join you?” Though before an answer can be given, the councilwoman is pulling out a collapsible rod and stretching it out to full length. The weights and lure are set a couple inches apart, giving enough room that the wild pokemon in the water would only see the lure.

The first cast is short, but Petra learned how to fish properly long ago. Playing with the line, she mimics the movement of live bait with the hope that it would beckon the pokemon that saw it to chase what they believed was prey...

He almost jumped as a dragonair descended with its plus one, allowing a fiery haired stranger to take up a position just beside him on the rocky outcropping. Adrian simply nodded, although was curious who they were, and why they had tailed him all the way out here. "Not at all."

Though secretly he was concerned. Could it really have been they came out here just for some good, old-fashioned fishing? Adrian didn't bite; there was something more to her sudden appearance, but she seemed like a pleasant enough soul.

Perhaps even recognizable...

Before he could place where he'd thought to have seen her before, there was a snag on his line, something heavily resisting its pull. With a few sharp tugs, he realized it wasn't a rock or anything so mundane; there was a little give, although it wasn't far off from the feel of a catch...

Adrian started reeling the line in slowly, watching the line follow the undercurrent for a time before it completely changed directions. At that moment he jumped off his rump, hoisting the line over his head, trying to get the hook to set. Got it!

Man, this fish did not enjoy that. He had to fight it inch for inch, reeling against its dead weight and pull, against the churning of the sea. He'd lift and reel, even take a few steps back from the edge of the outcropping in order to gain leverage over his catch. What was on the other end of the line!?

Once he fought it up to the ocean's surface, he could make out a tiny silhouette. That's it!? It had felt like so much more, but he wasn't deterred. If anything, something so small putting up such a fight made the catch all the more thrilling!

At long last he landed the creature, heaving backwards and bringing the fish careening towards their granite outcropping, allowing it to land against it with a smack like a frozen mackerel.

His pokeball was already in hand at the sight of it, lobbing it at the creature before it needlessly suffered further. And just like that, it was over. Adrian almost couldn't believe his luck, though he was interested to see what else might bite, and what the other person was doing here...

tl;dr attempting to capture feebas!

“Wow... You'll have to show me how you did that.” Over the years, Petra was quite fascinated with Milotic and Feebas, but she could never land one on the end of her line. Seeing this guy do it first try was a bit, well, irritating. Not that she wished him any ill because of it. Petra was just reminded that she couldn't have what she wanted, that's all.

Allowing them to take care of their catch, Petra noticed a stark increase in weight on her line, which caused her to real in faster. When the thing surfaced, she realized it was nothing more than some kind of tin figurine lost in the water long ago. But as she drew closer to free it from her line, a dark mass rose out from the water and nearly struck her with something akin to ectoplasm...

This thing was a Gastly, and apparently it was attached to the toy she just caught. With no choice, as it was provoked beyond reasoning, Petra allows her Hydreigon to come out from it's pokeball. “Teach this rude ball of gas a lesson.” She huffed, watching her pokemon deal with the Gastly in a rather timely fashion.

When the fighting was over she plucked a spare pokeball, aspiring to retrieve the Gastly. They weren't the most trustworthy of pokemon, but training one would definitely be useful. Petra only wondered if she'd have the time to train a pokemon, not that she was a member of the council. Speaking of promotions...

“So... You're Adrian Malcolm, right?” An amused look was cast his way, anticipating some amount of shock or suspicion from the boy she managed to tail after to this choice fishing spot. It wasn't what she set out to do, but after laying eyes on her first Corviknight, she remembered having seen the trainer's face before as well. It was covered in a few small reports concerning a couple rangers. “You've been helping some of the rangers?”

Allowing himself a moment to set aside his fishing rod, Adrian watched as the other female wrangled... a figurine out of the water.

Strangely enough it was followed closely by a pokemon (or was it that strange, really?) that turned out to be a gastly. She dispatched a hydreigon that made short work of it.

"Beginner's luck." He'd call it fate, seeing as he knew a certain someone who would love to own one of these fishy specimens. While the stranger set about subduing the gastly inside a pokeball, Adrian couldn't help but rummage through his memory for anything of a hint about who this lady might be. But he came up dry. Zip. Nada.

A shellder had come up against the outcropping where the water could still wash against it rhythmically, while a palossand made its way up to them out of curiosity. But Adrian was fixated on how the stranger knew his name, or at least how they'd managed to guess at it correctly.

She was definitely not here by chance, he thought to himself quietly. But she didn't seem hostile.

"Yeah...?" There's not going to be a problem, is there? Is how the thought finished in his mind, but the stranger actually mentioned some of his past experiences working with rangers Monty and Orion.

Adrian gave a light shrug, not particularly considering it much of anything to think back on. "People asked for help, I helped. Promise of a reward helped." His grin was infectious.

"What of it?" His curiosity was definitely piqued by her knowledge of his happenings. Tossing a pokeball at the shellder, he awaited an answer while passing the time with some sport.

Catching Shellder.
