[Network]

[There's a small girl with white hair on the network, with her face a little too close to the screen.]

Uhh, am I doing this right? Can everyone see me? Um, hi! I'm Webby! Just a quick question that maybe one of you out there can help me answer.

Where's my beak?

[Route 30]

[Webby's gotten the basics of how this world works. Obtain strange-looking monsters! Battle and make them stronger! Obtain more strange-looking monsters to fill a thing called a Pokedex! If anyone's capable of doing such a thing, Webby thinks she can!

And once she does, she's totally going back home to show Scrooge and the boys. They're gonna be soooo impressed!

So the first thing Webby has to do is catch more of these monsters. She has a Ponyta traveling with her - named Sir Francis Fireheart, a perfectly capable Pokemon for catching more Pokemon.

However, he's not the one currently in battle with a wild Rattata. Webby is crouched down in the grass nearby, watching the Rattata rustling around.]

Shhh, Sir Francis... don't make any. Sudden. Moves.

["Sir Francis Fireheart" watches in bewilderment as Webby leaps out of the grass, attempting to pounce on the Rattata to capture it. Yep, no one's taught her how to properly battle wild Pokemon yet.]

Prepare to be captured, monster!!

[Lena, being the good friend that she is, really should've filled Webby in on the basics of how this place works, even if it's all still a bit new to her as well. It would be the job of a good friend to make sure Webby doesn't hurt herself when confronting these monsters. A good friend would at least warn her about the sorts of attacks these pokemon have!

Lena's a good friend, even though she doesn't feel like she deserves to be called such. But Lena is also a little punk who enjoys her fair share of trouble, so instead of trying to hold Webby back, she just cracks up into a wheezing sort of laugh, too amused to be worried. After all, it's just a Rattata...!]

You got 'em, Webby! Those things are pushovers!

[Sir Francis gives a worrying neigh, and the wild Rattata sounds just as alarmed. It's hard to see what Webby is actually doing aside from rolling around wildly in tall grass, but she sounds like she's having a good time at least?]

HI-YAAAAAH!

[After one more leap, Webby finally catches her prey. She lifts one very confused and squirming Rattata into the air victoriously while it tries to claw and bite at her. She's got a few scratches, some ruffled hair with some grass sticking out of it. But she's had much worse on adventures with Uncle Scrooge, this is nothing!]

Lena, I did it!

[She pauses, realizing she can't actually just hold onto the poor Rattata like this forever.]

So umm... what do I do next?

[Is this an actual Pokemon or did she just wrestle a rat...]

[Sitting next to Lena in the grass is a Ralts, who looks just as worried as Sir Francis does. She looks from the ponyta, to the two girls, then back, before sending a quick psychic message: should we step in????

Lena, meanwhile, is digging into her bag, before tossing one of her spare pokeballs at Webby.]

Here, knock it in the head with this. Usually you're supposed to throw 'em, but... hey, it might work that way.

[Webby catches it with the hand not currently holding the Rattata.]

Okay!

[Webby taps the Rattata on the head.] Boop! [And the Pokeball opens, and the Rattata disappears inside. Webby holds the Pokeball close, watching it shake in her hands. After about 3 shakes, there's a soft click and the ball goes still.

Is it - is it caught? Did she do it? She shoots a quick glance a Lena for her approval.]

Edited 2019-03-24 05:29 (UTC)

[Lena flashes a thumbs up!]

Oh man I can't believe that worked. [... Wait Lena you encouraged this without being certain of it's success--] But I guess there's really no difference between getting beat up by a person or another pokemon...

[Phew, that was a good laugh. Lena plops down on the ground next to her Ralts, still grinning ear-to-ear.]

You did real good, Webs. Just remember that not all those monsters are gunna be super weaklings like that one. There's some real weird stuff out there.

[Webby gives a big proud grin in return.]

Really? What kinda weird stuff? Oh! Is there monsters with laser eyes? Please tell me there's monsters with laser eyes!

[Now that would be fun to try and capture!]

Y'know, I'm all up for adventure like, all day every day, but it feels weird doing all this without Mister - uh, I mean - uncle Scrooge around.

[She's still getting used to calling him that. Though... she's not sure if that title still applies when he told her that she wasn't family - no, no! They made up! It's gotta all be okay now.]

[Uncle, huh... seems like Lena missed a lot since she became a shadow again. But that sounds good, at least. She's glad Webby's family got all their dumb problems sorted out, because even if she can't be a part of it like Scrooge offered... she still wants them to be happy. Because they're her friends, or something dumb and sappy like that.]

Psh, you think Scrooge or the guys would want you to miss out on all the cool stuff this place has to offer just because they're not here? Dude, they'd probably be upset if you didn't go adventuring as soon as you could.

[Or maybe they WOULD be upset, because they wanna see it all for the first time with Webby. But screw that; if her best friend wants to go adventuring, then she'll take her adventuring!]

Not sure about laser eyes, but there's like... dogs that can breathe fire, and rats that can shoot electricity from their faces. That last one's kinda like laser eyes, right??

Yeah... you're right! This is the time to show off my true skills as an adventurer! [She dramatically points!] And I get to do it with my best friend. A Lena and Webby brand adventure! Our very first one!

[Which sounds... really fun? And Webby's really glad that she can say that at all, considering she thought she'd never see her best friend again. She flashes Lena a big grin for a moment.]

Ohhh, I want a dog that breathes fire!

Aw, come on. You say that like that thing with the Beagle Boys doesn't count.

[Granted, it was just them being chased around Duckburg, so it wasn't a REAL adventure... but it was something. Their first big bonding moment.

And she'd had an ulterior motive then. Now... now it can really be just the two of them. No horrible, evil aunt whispering in her ear and berating her every time she showed genuine emotion towards Webby. It could actually be nice.]

Of course you do. [Said with utmost affection, of course.] I haven't seen any in the wild yet, but that just means we gotta get out there and really search around.

No no, it did! But I was thinking less Beagle Boys and maybe ummm... more ancient civilizations being guarded by deadly traps to protect their thousands of year old secrets no mortal was ever meant to find?

[Those just exist, right? Of course they do. Her eyes light up in excitement at the idea of catching something more cooler than just rats. Sorry Rattata.]

I'm gonna wrestle the first fire dog I see!

[Webby no.]

Edited 2019-03-31 05:53 (UTC)

[Lena conveniently refuses to talk about ancient ruins in this place. The ruins she's seen have kind of been a bust for her, but she knows Webby would love the idea of trying to find something that others might have missed. So she keeps quiet... just so she ban bust it out as a surprise later, when they finally reach Violet City.]

You know what's even cooler?? They can grow into even bigger fire dogs, that some people ride. Pretty sick, right?

[Lena: The Worst Enabler.]

It's probably wherever you left it?

[That's not very helpful, is it.]

I mean- you usually have one, then?

Edited 2019-03-24 13:34 (UTC)

Last place I left it was on my face - Oh my gosh!! Yours is missing too?!

OH, you mean it was ACTUAL beak.

[As opposed. To. A metaphorical beak, of some kind? This conversation is already a ride, she's just trying to roll with it.]

And- no, I didn't. ...I'm ninety percent sure. But you weren't human before you got here? Because that can happen. Apparently.

Yep, 100% beak. And now it's gone and umm...

[Webby touches her human nose. It kind of sticks out like a beak? But it's so small now!]

Okay, I'm gonna ask a question that may sound totally weird right now.

What's a human?

Oh. Hm.

...It's. What we are right now?

[She's actually not sure how she should define it other than that, honestly.]

Oh... huh, I guess I should've made that connection.

[Webby checks out her human features by... smushing her cheeks, touching her nose, and sticking out her tongue.]

No beak, no feathers! I think my tongue still looks normal. I haven't grown any extra arms or legs.

Unless...!

[Webby spins around, like a dog chasing its tail, trying to spot any extra limbs that might've grown on her back or something.]

Huh, nope. Darn.
