"Why hello, young trainer..." Avis starts to say before Erika pipes up when you say you'd be willing to do a favor for them, "I've always wanted to see someone catch a Pokémon, my dad says I'm not old enough to catch them myself and he's been meaning to show me but he's always so busy. Could you show me how to catch a Pokémon?"
Meanwhile, a Zigzagoon can be seen in the tall grass nearby...
What do you do?
"Alright, Avis! I can show you how it's done... I hope! This is my first time, too, but I've seen it a bunch! Go get 'im, Scymon! Catch him off guard with your Vacuum Wave, but don't hit too hard."
"Scyyyyyy!"
Scymon lunges forward in a flurry of fighting strikes...
Zigzagoon tried to run away from the mantis, but it was easily outsped. The flurry of slashes sent it flying into a tree north of the road, the fur on its back tainted red. Its entire frame shaking, the wild 'mon struggled to stand up, looking for a place to hide.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Once you're there you start looking for Pokemon and after a little searching you find...
What do you do?
Before the Bellsprout sees me, I will have Scymon Focus his Energy, preparing for a big Quick Attack to take the Bellsprout down a peg before it even knows what's happening.
Being able to see its assailant this time helped the Bellsprout quite a lot. The wild yanked its vine-arms out of the way of direct contact with the pulse, though its graze looked like anything but a glancing blow. It repeated the lashing attack, as a measure to distract the Scyther while attempting to flee. (Vine Whip)

OOC: Was the die roll for poison? Did it poison me? I'm not sure how this works yet.
Scymon recoils. "ScyyYYyyYYyyther""Oh gosh, that's not good. Don't let up, Scymon! We'll get you healed up soon but for now you have to get through this!"
Frizz takes a moment to size up the Ekans, before determining a plan of attack. "OK. Now this might not be very effective, but get in there quick with a Vacuum Wave, and keep on punching until, well, you'll see!"
Scymon lunges the Ekans, scythes blazing for brutality. As the Wave washes over Ekans, Frizz gets out a pokéball and tosses it at the Ekans.
ooc: The dice roll was for a random move. I run wild encounters by having the 'mons use random moves.

"Alright, maybe that wasn't the best plan." Scymon is fading fast and screams harshly as the bite lands on his face. Frizz can tell he can't take more than maybe one more hit, especially after coming off that bellsprout battle just moments ago. "Let's end this the way we started it. If my calculations are correct, you should be able to finish this with a good, solid Quick Attack!"
("finish this" underlined to denote my decision not to capture after all)
NOTE: My Scyther has an open move slot, so it might learn a move during the course of battle. I hope that's OK? Anyway...
After a few minutes of searching you find a Jigglypuff minding its own business while sitting on a rock, humming to itself...
What do you do?
"Alright, we've got just the move to start this off, don't we? Get in there with a nice solid Vacuum Wave!" "Scyscyscy!" Scymon swoops in with a flurry of slashing blows.
The humming normal-type sounded a loud note the instant it was struck. It flailed its tiny arms toward Scymon, looking for a sensitive spot in its natural armor. (Pound)

Scymon takes a bit of a pounding but it's nothing he can't handle. Still, that vacuum wave was just the right type of move and it still didn't do all that much. Maybe it's because Scymon isn't really the type of pokémon to use it.
"Alright, Scymon, let's try something new! Ascend and try striking down with a Wing Attack!""Scy? Scyther!"
When it looked like Scymon was charging toward Jigglypuff for slashing strike, it dove hard to the right. Taking advantage of impressive agility, Scymon used its momentum to slam into its foe, turning around and fluttering its wings right on top of it.

Scymon suddenly looks to be in critical condition. How did this happen so fast? Luckily that jigglypuff isn't itself a rock type or this might be over already. "Alright, Scymon. Get in there quick with another Vacuum Wave while I..."
Just as the round normal-type prepared to wind up for another rolling attack, Frizz's throw was true. The red and white sphere trapped the Jigglypuff inside. All attention was on his catch right now. After a tense fifteen seconds, a click allowed the two to breathe a sigh of relief.
YOU WON!
Scymon gained 7 exp.

While you're there you start looking for wandering trainers and after a little searching find Poké Maniac Oliver...
What do you do?
Frizz challenges Oliver to a battle. Assuming acceptance: "OK, Frizz. This is your first trainer battle. Just stay calm and everything is going to be all right. Now, let's see here. I'm thinking.... Tuffie, get out there and show your stuff!"

Scymon bursts forth toward Zigzagoon and keeps it engaged with a strong leer, giving Frizz the chance to throw a pokéball.
