"Let's get moving, then. Bring at least one Pokemon with you, we wouldn't want to get swarmed." He stood up from his spot on the ground and whistled to Dirge, who hovered over to Trace's side as the young man entered the tall grass and started walking away from the camp.
<Geez! Why are all your stories so damn dramatic?> Boggle whined a little, laying back on one shoulder. <It's ridiculous. Were none of you caught by standard means?> He sighed and pushed his blade of grass all the way into his mouth, chewing and swallowing it. <I'll give you an example of what a normal capture is like. I'm gonna tell ya Urzu and Wolx's stories.>
<Back when Trace caught him, Urzu was just a Slakoth. He had to make the long trek from Lavender to Pallet to get his Pokdex and get licensed as a trainer. That whole time he'd only had one Pokemon, Dirge. So he decides, upon entering Viridian Forest, that it's high time he catch another Pokemon. After a few hours of searching he spies a Slakoth sleeping on a branch above. Dirge hits it with a Constrict attack, and Trace throws the Pokeball. Ding, ding, ding. Caught.>
Urzu rolled over onto his other side, trying to feign dis-interest in all the stories, and snorting at the end of his own.
<Wolx was caught far more recently. He-->
<I wanna tell this one!>
Boggle was interrupted by Shimmer, who was grinning and swaying her tail from side-to-side. <What?> Asked he, a bit surprised, mostly irritated.
<I wanna tell this story! This is the only one I know! I wanna tell it!>
Boggle rolled his eyes and sat back up, plucking another blade of grass. <Alright, alright. Whatever...>
Shimmer squealed in delight and cleared her throat, preparing for the story-telling.
<Ahem...Sowe'reonourwaytoCeledonCity,right?InthetallgrassoutsidewebumpintoaHoundour.Tracedecideshelikesitsowebattleandcatchit,theend.>
A few seconds of silence before Boggle spoke up again. <Whaaaaaat?! You can't be serious! You spoke too fast! You're a horrible story-teller!>
Shimmer started tearing up after that, sniffling and hiding her face behind her flipper-y hands. <B-b-but...I wanted t-t-t-o....I th-th-thought...I did a good j-j-job...> She burst out into tears, laying down on Urzu and squeezing him tight like he were some kind of pillow.
Urzu pat her on the back and put his arms around her, trying to comfort her. This at least got her to smile, and she nuzzled the big ape affectionately.
