carriesagun | [FIC][RPF] Aren't we a little old for this?

So me and the epic-awesome cheeseyspoot have decided to continue our little story, as a round robin between the both of us.

Catch up:-

Part 1 // Part 2 // And this is Part Three!

After Lisa's success with Ekans, the two intrepid trainers decided that lunch should be their next port of call. Hari shared out the sandwiches, juice boxes and fruit and turned her attention to feeding Omanyte pokékibbles. Omanyte happily shovelled the kibbles into his mouth, his eyes smiling his appreciation. “Do you think he wants fish ones?” she asked Lisa, shovelling a ham sandwich in her mouth as she waited for the reply and absently petting Omanyte while he ate.

“I have no idea,” Lisa replied around a bite of chocolate, “look it up.” Hari pulled out her Pokédex and read through Omanyte's entry, starting to get used to this new piece of technology they'd been entrusted with.

“It's a vegetarian species, apparently.” She looked at the little Omanyte and her voice changed pitch. “Do you like the little veggies Mr Omanyte? Do you? AWH look at it's little smile!” she squealed, Lisa flinching at the high-pitched sound and Omanyte's tentacles waving happily.

“Very cute.” She considered telling Hari that Ekans was about to devour her sandwich but decided that her newest pokémon deserved a treat, petting its head as it scoffed down the sandwich. “Hey, did you hear that?” Lisa asked, turning slightly in the direction of the sound.

“No, what?” Hari answered, having been to preoccupied with entertaining Omanyte to notice very much else.

“That rustling,” Lisa said, straining her ears to try and pinpoint the noise and turning completely around to face the undergrowth.. “There, the bush is moving!” Hari jumped up and, with Omanyte at her side, walked over to the bush.

“If a giant spider comes flying out of this bush, you'd better save me!” Hari said over her shoulder, before giving the bush a firm kick. A green ball rolled out of the bush and, after a moment, unfurled itself until it stood on all four feet, blinking in the bright light. It looked at Hari and Hari stared back, becoming slightly nervous when vines came from the little green creature towards her ankles. “Uhm... Omanyte, try... Rapid Spin?” Hari asked, unsure of what she was attacking.

“That's a Bulbasaur!” Lisa said, Pokédex in hand. “Apparently it uses-”

“LISA!” Hari was flat on her stomach, one of Bulbasaur's vines around her ankle as Bulbasaur dragged her towards him.

“Vines to attack. Catch it!” Hari nodded awkwardly from her position on the floor, craning herself around to retrieve a Pokéball from her belt.

“Right, Omanyte, Rapid Spin on this bloody vine!” she yelled, Omanyte responding with the attack and severing the vine, causing Bulbasaur to stagger backwards. “Now put the smack down on Bulbasaur with Bite!” Omanyte clamped onto Bulbasaur with a wicked bite then returned to Hari's side, Bulbasaur flinching at the attack, giving Hari time to perform the capture. Hari threw a Pokéball, crossing her fingers as it zapped Bulbasaur into it's depths and began it wobble. “Come on, please please please please pleeeeeease,” she muttered under her breath, nervously biting her lip.

Lisa watched nervously, Ekans and Drifloon beside her, observing with bated breath as the pokéball rocked from side to side. The Pokéball stilled and Hari let out a squeal of joy, scooping Omanyte up and pocketing the pokéball before turning to Lisa.

“DID YOU SEE THAT? WITH THE THROWING OF THE BALL AND THE BATTLING AND THE NEARLY BEING EATEN?” Hari half-shouted, Lisa laughing at her friend's sudden excitement. “I DID IT. With Olyre, of course.”

“Olyre being... Omanyte?” Lisa asked, shaking a tentacle that Omanyte offered to her and smiling at the look of joy on his face. “It suits him.”

Hari was hopping from foot to foot. “Dude! We're like, proper trainers now. We can start taking on gyms and stuff.”

Lisa raised her carton of juice in a toast, an action which Hari matched. “To Pewter!”

“To Pewter!”
