It chirps indignantly but does indeed seem to be moving a lot slower.

Permalink

That's not paralysis, that's moving a bit slower, ack, she was hoping it would be actually paralyzed - "Tackle!"

Permalink

Wooliam runs at the leaf-bug!

Permalink

The leaf-bug flails around a bit but doesn't actually manage to tackle Wooliam back.

Permalink

With six channels a day it makes sense to have lots of these, rotate through them, and then heal the lot of them at once when they're run down. She'll toss one of the empty balls at the leafbug.

Permalink

The ball rocks gently from side to side and then clicks shut! If she looks closely there's a little screen displaying some information about the leaf-bug.

Permalink

What does the illusion square say?

Permalink

The illusion square informs her that this type of leafbug is called a Sewaddle, that this particular specimen is 1'2" tall and weighs 6.4 pounds, that this is a girl Sewaddle, and that it knows Tackle and String Shot. (There's some more information that's harder to interpret.)

She also has the option to record the nickname she plans on using for it, if she wants to.

Permalink

She names it Hoja. She puts Wooliam away - he doesn't seem hurt - and she's not sure a channel will fix paralysis being slowed down, so she doesn't take Hoja out to introduce herself properly right away.

Permalink

A little while later, she spots a man in a large hat, carrying an oversized backpack.

Permalink

Wave wave.

Permalink

Wave wave. He looks her up and down, like he's checking for something, but seems satisfied.

"Things get pretty rough up ahead," he says. "Here, I'll give you a taste of it!"

He reaches for the Pokéball clipped to his backpack.

Permalink

"- okay, but I'm from another planet so I might make a mistake, please correct me if I do!" she says, reaching for Wooliam again.

Permalink

"Another planet! What's that like?"

Permalink

(He sends out a blue-and-black vaguely-humanoid Pokémon.)

Permalink

Wooliam bleats excitedly.

Permalink

"It's really really different! Nobody keeps Pokémon in balls! Wooliam, Thunder Wave!"

Permalink

The hiker's Pokémon moves shockingly quickly and manages to get in a punch before Wooliam can do anything, but Wooliam takes the opportunity to jolt it with electricity. 

Permalink

"Really? Where do they keep them?"

Permalink

"Tackle! - sometimes we summon them from other planes by magic and they just go home when the spell ends, or you just have them around all the time, maybe in their own building with stalls if they're too big to live in your house with you. Also people don't battle with them nearly as much, it's a thing but I've never done it before today!"

Permalink

The hiker's Pokémon is trying to get in another punch before Wooliam can hit it but it's not really working.

Permalink

Wooliam rams into it! 

Permalink

"From other planes? How does that work?"

Permalink

"I have one prepared today but only one so I can't show you without using it up! I'd just cast it and then I'd get a celestial Pokémon from Nirvana to help me. But I'm not very powerful so it wouldn't stay long."

Permalink

"Wow! I don't think I've ever seen a celestial Pokémon before!"
