[nospaces] [attr="class","rigid"] [attr="class","rigidw"] There was genuine delight in Josh's voice when he discussed the riding classes offered at the Mauville Gym. That, if nothing else, had sealed Victor's fate; now he was going to have to follow through on signing up for a class, if for no other reason that to avoid potentially disappointing someone he was beginning to consider a friend. He stepped off the Ninetales and reached for the Pokeball housing the Toucannon, it's polished surface reflecting the dazzling Christmas lights of the festive store front they were stopped in front of. [break][break] Riding on again, now nearly out of the Mauville Hills neighborhood, he felt his face flush at Josh's praise, [break][break] “Well, uh, thank you,” Victor replied earnestly, “I dunno if I'm cut out for that line of work, though.” [break][break] He couldn't deny that it was a wonderful thought, the idea of actually helping people and Pokemon instead of running at the first sign of trouble. And who knows what sorts of places he could go to and people he would meet in that line of work? But no, he knew his place; it was as a transient fleeing at the first rumblings of danger, barely scraping by with the ad revenue he received for whatever mediocre writing he could churn out for his blog. But now was not the time for a pity party; they were almost out of the district, and the Checkered Flag was calling his name. [break][break] As they reached the edges of the Mauville Hills neighborhood, he saw a figure(?) running towards them in the distance. Victor really hoped this would be the last obstacle between him and his burger as he squinted his eyes to get a better look at whoever was bee-lining towards them. As the figure drew closer, he realized it wasn't a person, but another Ceruledge. The Pokemon was charging forward, bladed arms extended, clearly on the offensive. But why? Victor didn't have time to contemplate the specifics as the Pokemon launched itself in a leaping vault, attempting to land a descending Psycho Cut on Victor and the Ninetales he was riding, [break][break] “Honoka, use Extrasensory!” he commanded. [break][break] With a yelping cry, his own Ninetales hastily complied. Her eyes glowing with eerie, supernatural energies, which quickly enveloped the Ceruledge in a psychedelic shroud of pinks and purples. The force of the attack killed the wild Pokemon's vaulting momentum, sending it to a skidding halt just a few feet in front of the party. There was a moment of hesitation as it leered at the group. With a sigh, Victor tossed what he hoped would be his final Pokeball of the outing. After all, he couldn't exactly knock the creature unconscious and just leave it in the street. Maybe if the capture attempt didn't work, it would still be enough to scare the Pokemon off. [attr="class","rigidnotes"] notes. Catching Ceruledge!
