PP SYS Ch 40: Ta First, Catch After
"So, I know you have caught a Pokémon before, but you should try to weaken it first. You are just going to have to be careful because the Pokémon around here are the sa level as Lumi. She might hurt them too much if you use Psybeam. There is a good number of Pokémon here like Lechonk, Pawmi, Hoppit, and Diglett, so you should be able to find one that you like," Tallia explained, and I could see a Pawmi up the road, but I noticed sothing that was closer.
"Do I have to fight them?" I asked as I walked over to an apple tree and grabbed a few off the ground before turning back to Tallia.
"Hmm? I guess you can try distracting them. There really is no right way to catch a Pokémon, just whatever works. I will stay back here so you can make your first attempt on your own, but if you need anything, I will be just over here," Tallia explained, and I nodded as I walked forward. I guess she would hold her questions until after I caught my first Pokémon.
Lumi, my Cosmog, was my first, and then Feebas, but this would be the first ti catching a Pokémon in Paldea! I was nervous but excited, and as I got closer to the Pawmi, it started to back away from .
I tossed it an apple and then tried to call it over to . I wasn't stupid, and I knew that Pokémon could be dangerous, but I was at a bit of a crossroads there. Knowing that if I caught them, they would beco more human-like made it hard for to process hurting them. Doing sothing like that felt counterproductive, and there was more than one way to shake a stick at a tree.
Finally, after much coaxing of apples and so kind words, the Pawmi hugged my leg before raising its head to look at with its bright eyes. I smiled and reached down to pat it on the head before taking out a Paradise Ball from my inventory and squatting down as I scratched behind the Pokémon's ear.
"Would you like to beco partners with ?" I asked the Pokémon, and then Pawni squeaked her na.
I smiled and pressed the Paradise Ball button on the top of Pawmi's head, and she burst into light as the ball opened. The energy was sucked inside, but when the ball closed, it only clicked as the light faded from the Paradise Ball.
"What?! Did you just ta that Pokémon before you even caught it?!" Tallia exclaid as I stood up and walked back down the path to where she was waiting.
"Considering that I am catching partners that I will most likely get very close with, I am having a bit of a hard ti being an to them and attacking them. I know that so will not want to be caught, but I am going to do my best to try to get through to them," I explained, and Tallia nodded thoughtfully but then looked up at the sky where the sun was slowly starting to make its way down to the sea.
"So, does that an that you will... be with Pawmi... like you know..." Tallia asked with her voice trailing off, and I nodded.
"There is a good chance, but that is not how it always happens. So far, I have gotten Quests to satisfy both Nurse Joy and Lumi and got special Ultra Points for it, but I don't think it will always be the sa. My AI, Cryo, told that not all Quests will be the sa, so I don't know what will happen yet until I go into Prisma myself," I explained, and Tallia blushed furiously as she nodded slowly.
"Do you want to co over for supper? I am sure that my mom won't mind having you co since she is interested in eting you and your Pokémon. She thinks it is amazing that you make a team of close partners and friends rather than just having Pokémon that battle for you," Tallia said, and I smiled.
"That sounds nice. I would love to co over for supper with your family," I replied, and then we both started walking back towards the path leading up to her house. The sun was getting closer to the water now, and the sky was a mix of oranges, pinks, and purples.
"So, what were you going to ask before?" I asked Tallia as we walked up the path toward her house, and she blushed again.
"I wanted to know what it was like inside the Pokeballs and what it is like to like more than one girl?" Tallia asked shyly as we got closer. The house was mostly one story, but there was a second story on the right side. It wasn't as crazy as Nemona's, but it was still really nice.
"That is a tough one to answer. It's hard to explain what it is like in the Pokeballs, but they are designed to create the best environt. As for liking more than one girl, it really isn't as complicated as people might think. All you need to do is be honest with yourself and the girls that you like and respect their feelings. It can be difficult, but it is possible, I think. I am still trying to figure things out," I replied, and Tallia nodded.
"That makes sense. I know it might not seem like much now, but thank you for answering my questions," She said before we got to the front door of her house and she opened the door.
"Tallia? Is that you?" A woman called as we walked in, and a beautiful blonde in a yellow apron turned from the stove to look at us. "Oh! You brought a friend! You should have told , Tallia! I am a ss!"
"Mom, you look fine. This is Landon that I told you about," Tallia said as I looked around the house.
